I would hope that as adults we've learned that there are other, more loving ways of dealing with our children (and controlling our tempers) than to hit. We don't let OUR children hit another child.............
Using pp's example, how can this possibly be logical in any way????:
30 lb. toddler hits 30 lb. toddler = NOT OKAY
150 lb. adult hits 150 lb. adult = NOT OKAY
150 lb. adult hits 30 lb. toddler = OKAY WTF??????

I have spent my life helping children who have been abused. I have spoken at schools to children about these things. I have talked with people who have suffered from real abuses. Honestly it sickens me when people dilute the word abuse. Abuse is a strong word (with a real defenition) and not a word that will change meaning with each persons opinions. It does a disservice to those who have truly been through abuse or neglet of some kind. It ties up the services designed to help those in the situations. It make the general public less sympathetic and willing help to those who have been abused.

How many times have you been frustrated and said something to a spouse or relative just to get to them or fire them up? How many times in an argument have you brought out everything from the past that you could think of to hurt the other person? Most people have done that at least once in their life. That would be intentionally hurting someone, that may be wrong, but it would not be abuse.

Seriously, if I say to someone that I feel hitting is an act of violence, or an abusive act and challenge them to put another word in the place of *violence* or *abuse*, it sounds pretty darn silly.
Hitting is an act of love. Hitting is a form of teaching. Hitting is a loving act. Hitting is a mature act. Hitting is an act of caring.

Aug 31, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorBrett Newlin was the perfect athlete to represent Riverton in the last two summer Olympic Games.
The two-time Olympian has been all over the world the last eight years making a name for himself and chasing a dream of a medal.
Newlin rowed in the four-man boat eight years ago in Beijing. Last month in London he was in the eight-man boat.
"I think that it's great when they ask about Riverton," Newlin said. "It's kind of like a collector item to be from a place where they really haven't heard of that much. It's fun to tell people that I'm from Wyoming and from the least-populated state in the United States. I'm super proud of that."
Brett was in town Wednesday night when his younger sister, Kristen Newlin, had her No. 43 Riverton High School basketball jersey retired at Wolverine Field.
"As a big brother, you try to set a good example and excel in a few good things here and there," Brett said. "She picked up that right away. She has been keeping me on my toes. It's fun to compare notes when you are at a high level in your sports."
Make no mistake, Brett was one of the top rowers the U.S. had the last few years.
He has put countless hours into training for a medal. His life was focused around rowing, rowing and more rowing.
He started college at Michigan State, then moved to the University of Washington to continue his rowing career.
"I'm going to have lifelong friends from rowing," Newlin said. "Rowing has given me so many blessings in travel and friendships."
Newlin and his eight-man boat made a great run in London.
His boat was right in the mix for a medal before the competition had started. He knew it was going to be close to get on the podium.
When I talked to Brett before the Olympics started, he told me Germany was the favorite to win the gold medal.
Germany did win the gold, and Newlin's boat finished .03 seconds away from the bronze medal.
"I don't know if I will ever get over it," said Newlin about his fourth-place finish. "It was a solid race. We came and pushed back pretty hard. We came heartbreakingly close."
I appreciated Brett finding time to e-mail after his finish. He showed class and respect for the hometown media even after a tough finish.
"I'm proud of my career," Newlin said. "I'm looking back, and I had a very long and successful career as a rower."
Newlin said the race in London was probably the last one of his career.
"Right now, I'm saying that I'm retired," Newlin said. "It would be a low possibility if I come back because it wouldn't be worth it if I couldn't put 100 percent both physically and mentally into it. "
When Newlin was in London he talked to United States swimming superstars Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
"It's really cool being on the same team as those guys," Newlin said.
"There is mutual respect of everybody because of hard work you have put in for four years."

Green top vs blue top for covering screws
So I get the difference between green top and blue top compound, green top first for setting the tape. But for covering screws do I need the glue in the green, or do I just use blue?
I really don't think it would make any difference.
they just drywalled 4,000 sq ft here at work and used the green top to cover all the screws with the initial coat and did all the taping with it
Doesn't make any difference--Most tapers will cover the screws with what's in the pan at the time.
Great answers. Thanks all!
Green lid is perfectly acceptable for all coats when finishing. I personally don't use or recommend lightweight compounds (blue lid) as they don't set up as hard.

TheSaudi billionaire owner of the Savoy Hotel has named London as a possible location to build an "ultimate" mile-high tower.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a nephew of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, has invited London and other global cities to put forward proposals for tax breaks and government support for a skyscraper that would be easily the world's tallest building.
The Prince told Reuters news agency: "I am now inviting the major cities of the world like Shanghai, Moscow, New York, London and regional cities in the Middle East to come and give their offers."
Any such plan is likely to face insurmountable objections from London planners and politicians as well as wreak havoc with air traffic control. It would be five times the height of London's tallest building, the 309-metre-high Shard at London Bridge. The world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, is 828-metre high.

O2's XDA range has established the operator as a firm friend of the Pocket PC side of Windows Mobile, and the Xda Exec is another unabashed manifestation of the bond. But it is much more than just another device in a product line. It's a groundbreaker.
Previous Xda models took a basic theme and developed it. The original Xda was followed by the Xda II adding more memory and Bluetooth. Then came the Xda IIs and IIi, released in close succession of each other, both finally adding 802.11 and generally sprucing up the specs, and the former dropping in a little slide out keyboard in an attempt to grab some market from RIM's BlackBerry.
There is a logic to the addition of the Xda Exec to the range in that it brings 3G into the mix and updates the operating system to Windows Mobile 5, but there's also a big surprise in that the hardware accommodates a large (well, large for a PDA) keyboard and a Tablet PC style mode of operation.
The Xda Exec is a clamshell device. Open it up and you have a mini laptop, with 3.8in screen at 640 x 480 pixels. The screen is bright and clear and the extra pixels really help. Sadly there are only 65,000 colours, but this is not really a problem.
Beneath sits the keyboard with full qwerty key layout, a number row, and above this a half-height double-width row of shortcut keys. The shortcut keys let you start and end voice calls, start a video call and jump to your contacts. Two more keys in this row act as soft menu buttons. Soft menus are a new feature in Windows Mobile 5. They are context sensitive, meaning that what they offer depends on the application you are currently using, and often on where you are within that application.

Report: Pension system needs overhaul
There are 67 comments on the Lowell Sun story from Aug 11, 2013, titled Report: Pension system needs overhaul. In it, Lowell Sun reports that:
The Middlesex and Worcester county pension systems and the city of Fitchburg were each given a D rating and the city of Lowell received a C on a new ratings website by the Pioneer Institute, a research group that says it wants to bring new transparency and accountability to the state's pension systems.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Lowell Sun.

so benefits to people who have worked all their lives is an issue but lifelong career freeloaders are ok? lets overhaul the welfare system, the EBT cards the Masshealth and the se8 system first!

You should see Antonucci's pension projection,holly cow
#8 Aug 14, 2013
I'm much more disgusted with the fact that you're going to get a pension, Noonan!!!!!
#9 Aug 14, 2013
I agree, we are paying for people who don't want to get out of bed until noontime and then hang out on their Section 8 porch. Our tax dollars pay for them to watch us drive by them.
Everyone pays for someone's pension anyways. Anytime you buy an item at the store you are paying for the CEO of that company's pension. Anytime you buy gas it is the same. Your utility bill pays for the pension of the CEOs of the utility company.
It is the freeloaders of welfare that needs to be taken away. Welfare was something nobody ever mentioned until everyone found out that most of them are using the system. Sorry the gig is up welfare people.
#10 Aug 14, 2013
Welfare has been around since the 1800s and was started to help the elderly and those who couldn't afford to feed their children. Now it's grown into such a mess People are buying baskets full of food, X-Boxes, free housing, spending money... and these people have no intention of getting a job. When I was growing up people would be embarrassed to be on welfare today people consider it a lifestyle. Oh how far we have fallen.
#11 Aug 14, 2013
Let's do both. With retirement benefits for municipal employees, it isn't the benefit, it's the richness of the benefit. Many of these people retire in their 50's with 80% of their pay. Try that in the private sector.
#12 Aug 14, 2013
I suppose working until you're 50 and getting 80% is a little more respectable than never working a day in your life and collecting 100% of free welfare stuff every week since you were 18.
#13 Aug 14, 2013
Its us honest, hardworking people out in the private sector who are REALLY getting the shaft...we have the unemployed freeloaders over on one side and the overly compensated public state and local fatcats on the other side..the cops and their pension plans are a great example of what I am saying. Jeeze, even the cops who haven't moved on to the lavish lifestyle of a retired cop are overly compensated; especially when you factor in the insane amount of paid days off they receive (along with their paid detail scam)....

#16 Aug 14, 2013
I guess you are in the wrong profession to complain this much. One would think that after being in the pick up empty cans out of trash barrells profession for so many years you would have figured out there's not a lot of money in it. I hope you have a big trashbag full of empty coke cans stashed away for your retirement.
Nobody ever said you can't get a Government job either state or local. Stop your crying and make something of yourself.
#17 Aug 14, 2013
Unfunded pension liabilities are crushing the states. When you say "a little more respectable" I'm not sure I agree. Politicians get support from the unions, the unions get rewarded by the politicians. Politicians just want to be re-elected, they don't care about taxpayers.
#18 Aug 14, 2013
You got lost somewhere in the confusion. Do yourself a favor a reacquaint yourself with the positions of others. Darn Tootin was in opposition of (his/her perception of) excessive benefits of municipal and state law enforcement. He is fully employed, a property owner, and taxpayer. This was established several years back - before he changed his name.
I'm neutral here, but if there's a discussion to be had, it ought to be on level ground. He (she?)'s not the one to go after for living the welfare life and is allowed the valid point here.
Going forward we are all going to feel this pinch for underfunded pension systems and need to be heard in the discussion, so helpful comments welcome.
It is still curious why this legislature gets so close to reform (remember the EBT photo debacle?) and withdraws.
#19 Aug 14, 2013
Oh no, don't go that route. The private sector just doesn't advertise their benefits because it is not public information. I don't see anyone making the salary of a private company CEO in the public sector. And yes they are private sector workers, they are not any different than a Police Chief, Mayor or even a Governor.
There are many in the private sector too that are overly compensated. Take a ride to Waltham and visit Teledyne or Boston Scientific. Starting salary is $280K-$400K a year. Most them bank half their pay and retire in the 40's.
Their parking lots are full of BMW's and Mercedes. The private sector has even more overly compensated employees but the big difference is, NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM, because it is not public information. There are more overpaid paper pushers in the private sector than public workers.
There are private sector workers becoming multi-millionaires and even billionaires now. They may not be the ones pumping gas but it is still the private sector. The CEOs of Coca Cola, Disney, Comcast are earning $30-$40 million per year. Why should I pay for their pensions and salaries?
Don't forget about those years back in the 80's when the Digital workers were driving their big luxury cars and owned those big homes. They worked 3-4 hours a day and socialized the rest of the day. They stated they could never be cops or firefighters because of the low pay.
Well sorry times have changed and people didn't think that many jobs would be lost and companies would tank their 401k's. So this is now the "target the public workers" syndrome because why should they have a pension and I cannot.
Most companies keep their employees at 38 hours so they don't have to pay health insurance and they dissolve their positions when they get near retirement age. Oh well. The private sector had a good run for many years but because that is over don't start looking at the public workers.
It's all about welfare now. The public sector hasn't changed. Welfare and the private sector has changed. People working two jobs to make ends meet are now in line at the grocery store with a welfare recipient and their $400 carriage/carriages of groceries.
It is still all about the freeloaders. I would rather pay for public workers than for someone who can sleep in until noontime, get free rent and utilities (section 8), get free food (Black Diamond steaks and ribs), get free daycare and transportation (so they can stay home by themselves), get free education (subsidized welfare training programs at colleges), get free cell phones, get free healthcare ($1800 each ambulance ride).
Anyone who has a job should only be looking at the welfare population now.
#20 Aug 14, 2013
You can't really compair Fitchburg and Leominster. Leominster has less people but more people that pay a higher percentage rate on property taxes due to assements. Leominster has more business' that are paying to the city a heck of a lot more than Fitchburg has. Leominster is easier to maintain than Fitchburg as far as roads and buildings go. Therefore Leominster has more money to cover pensions than Fitchburg.

Replacing Sill plate Question
I have a 1968 Built one story ranch no basement, dirt crawlspace.
I need some advice on how to replace a large section of rotten sill plate. I have to lift the floor joist in a sections say 12' to 15 feet to replace with treated wood and a flashing. I have several 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 8' boards and 4 barn jacks, If I tie three or four boards together with lag bolts the 12' to 15' in length (just like a compost beam), this would be used to support joists. Then use barn jacks sitting on the footings in the crawl space to lift that section, just enough to hammer in new boards. I would use the compost beam side ways, 3 1/2 thick and ? width. Am I cracked in thinking that this is enough support for the house?
I'd focus on doing small sections at a time instead of a composite beam made up of a number of members. A nominal 4x4 will deflect like crazy, and will probably need a strut and a jack under it every 3 or 4 feet to minimize its deflection under load. 12' or longer would be out of the question unless you have enough jacks...Lag bolts won't do anything for you. I'd abandon that idea.
You don't want to lift the house. You want to support it while replacing the old sill plate with the new.
You're objective isn't to really lift up the house, only to relieve the load on the existing plate. If you have 4 jacks and you are preparing to replace 12 feet, you should be fine with the jacks on 3 foot centers. Use a pressure treated replacement. If there are any achor bolts into the foundation, you'll have to notch the new plate around them and then tighten the nut back down. I trust that your jacks are screw type jacks.
I do plan on replacing with treated wood. I have to lift enough to get the new sill and some type of flashing. I just want to make sure that the 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 bolted together three to four wide would support the joists enough to lift and replace?
How far between jacks? Like I said, a 3-1/2" beam will deflect quite a bit...That's why you don't see 3-1/2" beams supporting homes.
With jacks on 3 foot centers, two bolted together should be plenty for a temporary bearing surface. Just make sure your lifting line from the jack through the blocking is perfectly plumb and that the jacks are setting level. You don't want anything kicking out. Kicked jacks will become missiles under that kind of load.
thank you for your information.
thekctermite what do you suggest for a beam to support the joists?
I quess Im still uncertien about how to replace a sill that is rotten without lifting?
This is a big job, so I want to be sure of how Im going to do this.

text: That article stated (in so many words) that the Kings are looking to replace Tyreke Evans and they seem to feel that Brandon Jennings is better suited to do that than Grevis Vasquez. They seem to feel that Jennings would make Boogie Cousins happier and more likely to re-sign with them. ...If the opportunity presented itself, I would trade Jennings for Vasquez immediately and then I'd take my phone off the hook so they couldn't call me back to reconsider.

I took my new XD9SC to the range today and Boy Howdy!
I put 150 rounds of new WWB 115gr FMJ through it with no FTFs or FTEs. I also put 50 rounds of a mixture between some old WWB 115 FMJs and some old Federal 115 FMJs with nary a problem! The trigger was smooth and the sights were right on at 21 feet. The magazines dropped effortlessly when released. The 4 targets I used had nice big holes in the center.
I plan on putting another 300 rounds through it and then declare it to be my carry weapon. (when Utah decides to send me my permit)
I need to find me a good IWB holster for it now.
Press the fight!

sample the album:
"The Federico Ughi Quartet is part of the lineage that continues to emerge from saxophonist Ornette Coleman. Ughi's work embodies a range of disparate influences, including classical music and Italian folk tunes, but in the quartet's eponymous release Ughi pays homage to Coleman's spiritual, philosophical, and musical influence. The quartet even mirrors Coleman's archetypal two-horn-bass-drums lineup, in this case David Schnug on alto sax, Kirk Knuffke on cornet, Max Johnson on bass and, of course, Ughi on drums.
The group also follows Coleman's lead through blending the composed and the improvised. The dance between these two streams has intrigued-nay, haunted-jazz musicians from the inception of this music, but after years of hard work Ughi has discovered his own balance. He has also found skilled players to help realize his vision; this group plays together frequently, putting in the time and commitment necessary to create the one-mind so vital to improvisational cohesion.
The essential magic in Ughi's music, however, comes from the heart. The sincerity and emotional timbre of his compositions are always palpable, whether the songs are upbeat or contemplative. "Quantunque" is a bright, bouncy piece where bending notes and moments of dissonance mingle happily with the melody. It's a sparkling tune, joyful and welcoming, and a terrific way to start off the recording. "Second Day Syndrome" is a warm, majestic song that features powerful unison work between Schnug and Knuffke. It's a pleasure to witness such spot-on front line playing, with rich energy reminiscent of classic Blue Note recordings. A fresh tune with, appropriately, many colors, the jaunty opening statement of "Technicolor" teeters on chaos, but then slows down and offers a lilting melody line infused with folk music. The song shifts moods often and displays a host of off-kilter colorations, but its vigorous drive and innate lyricism hold all the elements together beautifully.
The group also excels on ballads. The spare "Song for Charles" is a moving portrait with exquisitely sinuous notes. There's a wonderful improvised conversation between the two horns, with Ughi's drums simmering in the background and Johnson's emotive arco bass providing powerful support. And "Ange" is just gorgeous, a pensive tune with a whiff of melancholy. The horns are particularly impressive here, with Schnug digging deep into a bluesy solo and Knuffke expressing a yearning from the soulful depths.
This is the quartet's first release, and altogether it's a beauty. Ughi's name is usually linked with his illustrious mentors-including Coleman, bassist William Parker, and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter-but these days he stands alone as a fine musician in his own right, with this group just another shining example of his strengths."-Florence Wetzel, All About Jazz

Having both in my garage, I can say the E83 is very much more responsive.. Not much more powerful, but definitely more throttle responsiveness. That implies (at least to me) that there is a way to "tune" the E92?? Maybe this is what installing a JB would give me??
From a Wiki I also saw the statement below which may explain it straight away:
*output changes result from the omission of the variable resonance system, dual plenum intake runner system, and the variable back pressure muffler.
Any other thoughts for me to brew on?
Like government health care, there's little you can do.
The N52 is engineered within narrow constraints, and without very high expense, not much more output is available. At issue are emissions and fuel economy regulations.
N54 has the ability to vary intake gas pressure, therefore power - that's where you'll find better power, and if staying within EPA requirements, not a lot to do beyond varying boost. Note that advance is automatically adjusted in software - higher octane fuel has its effect but is not a tune. Though maps may be modified to accommodate higher than expected octane, they're an extension of BMW's maps. If complying with law.
Word to the wise: Non-compliance is risky - owners have been cited for emissions system modification, a criminal offense.

Steamboat Springs — If the U.S. national team proved Steamboat Springs is a breeding ground for Nordic combined success, the opening day of the 2010 Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined Junior Olympics simply confirmed it.
The Rocky Mountain Division — mostly comprised of Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club members — picked up 11 podium finishes Thursday, including eight in the Nordic combined portion. The Junior Olympics are taking place at Howelsen Hill in downtown Steamboat.
The Rocky Mountain Division's success Thursday included sweeps in the J2 and J1 men's Nordic combined divisions.
Erik Lynch won the men's J2 Nordic combined, Aleck Gantick was second and Ben Berend was third. Cliff Field won the J1 men's Nordic combined, Michael Ward was second and Adam Loomis was third.
Mary O'Connell and Madison Keeffe were second and third in the women's J2 division. O'Connell finished second in the Special Jumping earlier Thursday morning. Field was first and Ward was second in the men's Special Jumping.
"This is a good race," Field said, "and a great day."
Under ideal conditions and blue skies, 77 competitors from across the country and Canada took to the jumps at Howelsen Hill and a challenging 5-kilometer course at Brent Romick Rodeo Arena. The cross-country course featured several large hills and didn't allow much rest time for skiers.
The Steamboat contingent proved the home course did in fact provide home field advantage.
Save for Field, all the Steamboat skiers started behind the lead in the Gundersen format.
O'Connell was 2 minutes, 46 seconds back, Keefe was 3:24.0 back, Gantick was 28 seconds back, Lynch was 51 seconds back, Berend was 1:19.0 back, Ward was 1:10.0 back and Loomis was 2:18.0 back.
But in each instance the Steamboat skiers were able to make up the time, not something easy to do on a 5-kilometer course.
"I didn't have my best day jumping," Keeffe said. "It was definitely a challenge. But it all worked out."
The men's J2 race provided a glimpse of the team effort. Gantick and Lynch started behind the pack but were in the lead group by the beginning of the second lap. The two worked together before Lynch made a push on the final hill.
"We talked together and said we should ski together," Gantick said. "Ski together and dominate."
Lynch pushed hard out of the start and caught up with Gantick. The two skied the second lap together, drafting and exchanging the lead.
But on the final hill, Lynch made a push and was able to take a bigger lead.
"The hill was the place to make my move," Lynch said. "That last hill was a great opportunity, so I took it. I just hammered it and got some separation."
The Junior Olympics continue today with Nordic combined and Special Jumping team events. The first round of jumping begins at 11 a.m. The Nordic combined team sprint event begins at 6 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.

Standing in her treasure trove of a shop just off Sloane Square, the leather-jacketed, half-Russian, jewellery designer Annoushka Ducas shows off her latest goods.
Dripping with show-stoppingly dangly earrings, necklace and stacks of glistening rings on her fingers, Ducas is a living advertisement for the wares she makes.
This is the second jewellery business she has built (this time with her husband John Ayton). She created the chain Links of London, which they sold for £50 million to Greek group Folli Follie in 2006. The sale made them a tidy profit, so why start out all over again from scratch?
With her name now above the door of two London shops — her second opened in South Molton Street this year — as well as seven "shops in shops" (franchises in department stores including Harrods), Ducas is as driven as ever. But this time she is content to create a business that won't lead to a large chain, mass-producing pieces across the world. Links of London now has 34 outlets in the UK and 27 internationally. But Ducas wants to keep things small.
"Now if I have a good idea, I can just do it immediately. I don't have to wait for marketing or other departments to get ready. If I find a stone I like, I can just make a piece. I can make as many or as few as I like," she says.
Ducas was an estate agent when she created her first jewellery design: her mother ran a fresh-fish delivery business in London and wanted to give something as a Christmas present to the 60 chefs she supplied. Ducas came up with the idea of a fish-motif cuff link design, and had them made in the Philippines — where she had already made up some of her own jewellery while working in Hong Kong. As she had some cuff links left over, she popped down to Harvey Nichols and met a buyer in her lunch break. The buyer liked them, and asked her to make more so that it was worth buying a range. Links of London was created. The "sweetie bracelet" she produced was one of the most popular items, and still sells thousands every year. But she is happy to forget Links and jokes: "If I see another sweetie bracelet, I might scream."
Although Ducas started up Links on her own and only drafted in her husband (who is a corporate lawyer) to the financial helm after the business grew beyond something she could control by herself, John was part of the team at Annoushka's from the beginning.
She explains: "Setting up in business is much harder for people now. Banks are not helpful generally, and I would say many businesses would benefit from two people at the top rather than bearing it all yourself. Going it alone is a very lonely business."
The other important piece of advice for young businesses is knowing when to get others to help. She advises: "It is important to know when to let go, when to delegate and when to bring in someone else who might have the skills that you don't."
The couple have three children but working together and being married is not an issue. She says: "With us, there are no politics. We can have good discussions, and if we don't agree we don't do it." But they do keep some parts of business separate. Ducas concentrates on designing and the ideas, and says: "He doesn't like me going through his in-tray."
It might be tougher this time around, but experience of business has ensured that Ducas does not repeat past mistakes: "I am not a classically trained jeweller and, being an unqualified person, you can lack confidence. But I've learnt to cope with this now and to trust my gut feeling. I might not be trained but I look at things with a fresh approach, and challenge the way things have been."
But how can a small jeweller compete with the big brands that have larger marketing budgets and the scope to open stores in expensive locations around the world?
Ducas argues that "there is a backlash from large brands. It is all about personalisation — that is what the customer wants now".
That may be, but being favoured by celebrities must help — actress Gwyneth Paltrow, singer Rihanna and the Duchess of Cambridge have all been spotted wearing her jewellery recently.
Having the connections and the experience means a small company can compete with the big brands.

Business idol: "My mother. She had a can-do mentality and did not take 'No' for an answer. She came to England from Russia, where she was a showjumper, and swapped her first car for six Highland cattle. With her fish business, she drove into London every day from the coast. She was an inspiration"

NYC Sues Smart Apartments on Claims of Deceptive Trade Practices
New York City filed a lawsuit against Smart Apartments, alleging it has been booking, accepting and advertising short-term reservations in illegally converted and unsafe apartments in residential buildings.
In May 2011, a state bill went into effect that clarified ambiguities in the law and codified transient occupancy as being less than 30 days. Illegal hotels unlawfully convert residential units intended for permanent occupancy for short-term stays of fewer than 30 days, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement.
Smart Apartments has been operating illegal short-term tourist accommodations in nearly 50 residential buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, Bloomberg said in the statement.

Last fall's NCAA cross country champion, Saina set an Iowa State 5,000m record on her home track on Feb. 9, eclipsing Lisa Uhl's previous Cyclone indoor standard by 8 seconds and also etching her name into the No. 4 spot among all-time NCAA indoor performers. Second on the current leader board is Wichita State standout Aliphine Tuliamuk-Bolton, who finished runner-up to Saina after leading much of the race in Ames.
2. 15:25.47 Aliphine Tuliamuk-Bolton, senior, Wichita State, Iowa State Classic, Feb. 9
3. 15:44.40 Emily Sisson, sophomore, Providence, Terrier Classic, Jan. 25
4. 15:46.13 Katie Matthews, senior, Boston University, Terrier Classic, Jan. 25
5. 15:46.30 Jordan Hasay, senior, Oregon, UW Husky Classic, Feb. 8
Men's Mile
1. 3:56.28 Patrick Casey, senior, Oklahoma, Razorback Invitational, Jan. 25
Casey shaved nearly two seconds off his personal best with a strong win in Fayetteville, possibly a good omen for nationals given that the meet will take place on the same track next month. Robby Creese of Penn State prevailed over a deep men's mile field in Seattle on Feb. 8, authoring a new Penn State school record in the process. Rotich's mark in third is a conversion from the 4:03.06 he ran at 5,000-feet altitude in Albuquerque.
2. 3:57.11 Robby Creese, sophomore, Penn State, UW Husky Classic, Feb. 8
3. 3:57.76 Anthony Rotich, sophomore, UTEP, New Mexico Collegiate Classic, Feb. 1
4. 3:57.79 Raul Botezan, senior, Oklahoma State, UW Husky Classic, Feb. 8

Men's 3,000m
1. 7:42.79 Lawi Lalang, junior, Arizona, Razorback Invitational, Jan. 25
Some questioned Lalang's superiority after he managed "only" third at last November's cross country nationals, but his dominating and very fast 3K win in Fayetteville late last month should have quieted all doubters. He's in the Wanamaker Mile field at the Feb. 16 Millrose Games, as is Ryan Hill, currently No. 2 on the 3K list.
2. 7:49.20 Ryan Hill, senior, NC State, UW Husky Classic, Feb. 8

Men's 5,000m
Just as he did in six cross country races last fall, Kithuka took an immediate lead in the 5K at the Tyson Invitational and ran to the win more than a minute up on his competitors. All of the other top five marks came from an extremely close race at the Husky Classic on Feb. 8.

As part of our continuing effort to spread the love and awareness of Supporter's Culture in North America, today we're starting a new column that will highlight lower division (so, that's NOT MLS) tifo across North America.
This display comes from Dark Clouds, (@MNDarkClouds) a Supporter's Group the supports Minnesota United FC of the NASL. Looking through their site, they have some amazing displays, and do great work. To be completely honest, I'm very jealous of their ability to use flares at their grounds. See the video below.
Got some lower division tifo? Let us know by sending an email to rbjdbkilla at thendline dot com
What is this? Their club even interviewed them?! Pretty cool stuff going on in Minnesota

road flares dont look so good, do some research and you will find the ones you really want!
Sigi Says April 30, 2014 at 9:55 am
Not a bad display at all , loved the puppeteer-ed dragon, But agree with Matt, the flares are kinda lame. Obviously they would look better at night, but i have always thought they were a bit lame. Smoke it a way better integration for TIFO.
Taly June 8, 2014 at 10:54 am
Love the tifo, puppets, and flares. Proper supporters' love.

Although Luke Jackson is coming off an up-and-down 2011 campaign at Single-A Hickory, he has some of the best raw stuff in the Texas Rangers' system. Last year, Jackson posted a 5.64 ERA in 75 innings, allowing 83 hits, walking 48, and striking out 78. The former supplemental first-round pick appeared to tire down the stretch of his debut season, as his velocity dropped a tick and his secondary stuff lost sharpness.
The 20-year-old is firing on all cylinders in the early going this year. Jackson took a no-hitter through 5.2 innings on Saturday. In his first four starts, he's yielded three earned runs on 12 hits in 20.2 innings while walking seven and fanning 29.
Jackson flashes three potential plus pitches in his fastball, curveball, and changeup. When he's going strong, all three offerings can miss bats.
But his raw stuff is just that––raw. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect overthrows at times, causing his overall command to suffer and his fastball to float up in the strike zone.
When Jackson is locating down in the zone, his high three-quarters delivery gives him excellent angle and allows his fastball to reach the plate on a steep downward plane––helping his already plus velocity play up. The Florida native throws his fastball between 91-95 mph in starts and often touches 97––as he did in his April 16 outing against Kannapolis.
Jackson also features an upper-70s-to-low-80s power curveball with sharp downward break and good depth. Given his age, he also has an advanced low-80s changeup that shows good fading and sinking action. Both offspeed pitches have been inconsistent over the last two years but could be plus with more seasoning. His curve is slightly ahead of his changeup at present.
The stuff is there for Jackson to become a top-of-the-line pitching prospect in the Rangers' system. Now, the key becomes putting it all together––including the refinement of command and learning how to effectively sequence his stuff.
While he's not particularly close to the big leagues, the youngster has made progress and has the pure upside of a number two starter. If he ultimately can't stick in a rotation, his power repertoire and competitive nature could make him an intriguing late-inning reliever (he often works at 94-97 mph in one-inning spring training and instructs stints).
Jackson, who logged 19 starts in the Sally League last season, could be in-line for a promotion to High-A Myrtle Beach within the next month or two if he keeps having success in Hickory. Given his above-average raw stuff, he's a prospect who could begin to move quickly once he figures it out.
L - Perez (1-2)
HR - Martin (3)
The Express began a nine-day, eight-game road trip against the first-place Zephyrs on Saturday.
Round Rock starter Martin Perez (4.03 ERA/.235 BAA) had a bout with his own command, walking five batters in five innings while throwing 94 pitches (50 strikes). He gave up five runs on six hits and struck out three.
In four starts this season, the 21-year-old southpaw has allowed 19 hits in 22.1 innings, walking 11 and fanning 15. While there have been some ups and downs, it's so far an improvement on last year's Triple-A stint, when he surrendered 72 hits in 49 frames.
Three-hole hitting centerfielder Leonys Martin (.359/.438/.578) continued to do damage at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk, and three runs batted in. Martin also stole his fourth base of the season.
The 24-year-old has been excellent at the plate through his first 15 games, smacking eight extra-base hits with eight walks and nine strikeouts. The early offensive production is an improvement on his punchless .263/.316/.314 slash line in 40 Triple-A games last summer.
While Martin is showing development offensively, it's the small things––such as base running and overall game awareness––that he must still improve before earning a full-time big league job. For example, Martin––who has speed that's a tick above average––has been successful on just four of his nine stolen base attempts thus far.
Joey Butler extended his hitting streak to 12 games, as he went 1-for-3 with a double and a free pass.
Second baseman Yangervis Solarte recorded his second three-hit performance in as many nights. He singled three times in four trips while also driving in his 10th run of the year.
Reliever Tyler Tufts was hit around for the first time since his promotion to Triple-A. He gave up two runs on three hits in 1.2 innings, walking one without recording a strikeout.
Yoshinori Tateyama finished the game by yielding a run in 1.1 innings.
Although he didn't pitch on Saturday, left-hander Beau Jones is a member of the New Orleans roster. The former Rangers pitching prospect, who signed a minor league deal with the Marlins over the offseason, has yielded two runs in his first 8.1 innings out of the Zephyrs' bullpen this season.
L - Murphy (0-2)
HR - Beltre (4)
Corpus Christi clobbered the 'Riders for 11 runs on 14 hits, including five extra-base knocks.
Frisco starting pitcher Tim Murphy was tagged for five runs in 2.1 innings. The southpaw yielded four hits, walked three, and plunked one. He struck out a pair.
Murphy, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, has scuffled in his first three regular-season starts on the heels of a decent performance in spring training. The 24-year-old has given up 15 hits in 10 innings, walking five and striking out five.
Murphy's fastball in spring training worked anywhere between 85-91 mph. He also mixed in a curveball and a changeup. There may still be another tick of velocity to come as he gets further removed from the surgery.
Before the Hooks bats could get going, centerfielder Engel Beltre (.293/.344/.621) led off the game with a solo home run––his fourth round-tripper in 15 games this season. Beltre hit just one homer all of last year.
Beltre, who was 2-for-5 on the night, has a double, three triples, and four home runs thus far. His .621 slugging percentage ranks fifth in the Texas League. Last season, his .300 slugging percentage ranked second lowest of all qualifying hitters in the circuit.
Despite scoring only three runs, Frisco actually had 12 hits on the evening.
Prospects Mike Olt (2/5, 2B) and Jurickson Profar (1/5, 2B) both doubled.
Olt is holding his own with a .255/.328/.491 slash line in the early going, but he's also struck out 19 times in his first 14 Double-A contests.
Second baseman Guilder Rodriguez (3/4) singled three times and stole a base while Leury Garcia (2/4) and Brad Hawpe (2/4) had two knocks apiece.
Garcia's batting average is up to .309 (17-for-55) in the early going. The 21-year-old switch-hitter has one walk and 14 strikeouts in 14 games.
After beginning his season with a handful of strong outings, Venezuelan righty Wilfredo Boscan was hit around for five runs on six hits and two walks in just 1.2 innings. His earned-run average ballooned to 6.30.
Fabio Castillo (4.50 ERA/.280 BAA) finished the game by throwing only 24 pitches in 2.1 scoreless innings. He gave up one hit, fanned one, and induced five groundouts.
L - Font (0-2)
HR - Nicholas (1)
There would be no late-inning heroics for the Pelicans on Saturday, as Carolina raced out to an early lead and didn't look back.
Big right-hander Wilmer Font, continuing his return from Tommy John surgery, lasted only one inning––a frame in which he threw 35 pitches (22 strikes). He struck out two, giving up a run on a hit and a walk.
Joe Van Meter (1.46 ERA/.214 BAA) followed by permitting his first runs of the year. The Virginia Commonwealth product yielded two runs on four hits in three innings.
Despite his so-so outing on Saturday, Van Meter is off to a good start this season. He's allowed nine hits in 12.1 innings while walking four and striking out 15.
One Myrtle Beach hurler who isn't off to a great start is reliever Francisco Mendoza, who coughed up four runs on five hits and two walks in 1.2 innings.
Mendoza finished last season strong at Single-A Hickory, showing a 91-96 mph fastball with a wipeout upper-80s slider. But he struggled to throw either offering for strikes in camp, and that has continued in the regular season. The 24-year-old has worked five innings, giving up 13 hits and walking six.
First baseman Brett Nicholas went 1-for-3 with a home run––the Pelicans' only extra-base hit of the game––and a walk. His two-run homer provided both of the club's runs on the night.
Centerfielder Jake Skole continued to heat up with two singles in four trips, raising his batting average to .245. Middle infielders Odubel Herrera (1/4) and Edwin Garcia (1/3, BB) also singled.
Vin DiFazio was 0-for-1 but drew two walks and was also hit by a pitch.
Righty reliever Zach Osborne (1.74 ERA/.206 BAA) finished the game on a strong note with 2.1 scoreless frames. The Houston native permitted two hits and struck out two.
W - Jackson (2-0)
HR - Robinson (1)
Starting pitcher Luke Jackson (1.31 ERA/.162 BAA) retired 17 of the game's first 18 batters and took a no-hitter through 5.2 innings. The no-hit bid was broken up by a double, which was followed by an infield single.
Still, Jackson yielded just those two hits in six scoreless innings. He walked one and struck out seven. Of the 21 hitters who faced Jackson on Saturday, only three lifted the ball out of the infield.
Catching prospect Jorge Alfaro (.290/.313/.419) returned from a short stint on the disabled list (strained hamstring) at designated hitter. The 18-year-old had his best game of the young season, going 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, and two runs batted in.
Third baseman Drew Robinson (.204/.278/.367) also had his best game of the year. He was 2-for-4 with a double, a homer, and three RBI. He struck out twice.
Chris Grayson, who is hitting .396 thus far, went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, and his fifth stolen base. The speedy outfielder walked nine times in 48 rookie ball games last season, but he's already drawn nine walks (with 11 strikeouts) in his first 13 contests of 2012.
Left fielder Jeremy Williams (2/5) raised his average to .229 with a pair of hits.
Reliever Chris Hanna allowed a run on four hits in two innings of work. The score would be Savannah's only of the night.
Sinkerballing righty Randol Rojas closed out the game with a 1-2-3 ninth inning, inducing two groundouts. The Venezuelan right-hander has permitted a run on six hits in his first 12.2 innings.
