Origami house is a home for all seasons
- From: News Limited Network
- December 08, 2012
IT'S an eternal problem for architects and homeowners alike: How to keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter.
But this new incredible folding house is able to, in the words of its creators, "metamorphosize" into eight different configurations to adapt to seasonal, meteorological and even astronomical conditions, The Daily Mail reports.
In the summer plan, bedroom one faces east and watches the sun rise as its inhabitants wake up. It can then rotate so that the user is constantly in sunlight, while the house generates energy through its solar panels.
The revolutionary home is based on the work of early 20th Century mathematician Henry Ernest Dudenay who discovered a way to dissect a square and rearrange its parts into an equilateral triangle.
The flexibility of the house allows adaptation from winter to summer and day to night by literally moving inside itself.
Thick heavy external walls unfold into internal walls allowing glass internal walls to become facades; doors can become windows, and vice-versa.
The layout consists of two bedrooms, an open-plan living room and a bathroom, but it too can be adapted to suit the needs of different living situations.
The incredible house is the brainchild of British architects David Grunberg and Daniel Woolfson, who launched the D*Haus company to develop the concept.
Read more on the amazing origami house at The Daily Mail.

text: The Show Catwalk Back stage Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2004 Ready-To-Wear Marc by Marc Jacobs 17 September 2003 HAVING recently threatened to produce a cheaper line than his Marc diffusion to compete with the current high street boom, Marc Jacobs unveiled a collection yesterday that is inevitably going to be copied almost immediately. Expect to find striped socks, satin boxer boots in red and gold that lace up to the knee, Seventies-style hippy headbands and big slouchy zip-up shoulder bags in brightly coloured denim all over Oxford Street any moment. The Louis Vuitton bowed heels that were copied so many times this season will make a return too - but this time they'll be platformed and stuffed with wooly socks. Layering is key - with satin athletic pants teamed with a striped, long sleeved T under a girly pale green sweater dotted with coloured hearts topped with a cropped bell boy jacket and maybe even a denim waistcoat over that. Sound like fun? Each look could be dissected into brilliant separates - like a mini denim shirt dress or a Seventies diner-inspired green dress with patchwork pockets - and there was a homemade, anything goes approach to battered denim jackets and lumberjack shirts which had had their sleeves ripped off. Bright yellow, peacock blue, red, orange and turquoise on PVC macs, tiny flared minis, satin basketball vests and velour track tops were upbeat and sassy, while in amongst the chaos of ideas there was a stunning pale lemon paneled summer dress or blue chiffon jeweled halter that, no matter how much they're copied, were unmistakably Marc. (September 17 2003, AM)

Many patients I take care of are incapable of maintaining basic levels of personal care for any number of reasons. They may be homeless. They may be addicted to illicit drugs, alcohol or other prescription medications. They may be experiencing severe depression or anxiety. They may have schizophrenia, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder or any other of a number of psychiatric conditions that prevent them from maintaining adequate self cares.
These deficits may present as a lack of personal skin hygiene, washing and bathing skin and hair and maintaining clean cloths free of putrid smells. They may also fail to maintain a basic level of self awarness with regards to their medical condition. I suspect that's the case in this pair of legs below. This picture shows a severe case of bilateral stasis edema ulcers. This is what happens when poor skin hygiene meets chronic leg swelling and failure to seek medical attention. While time may heal many wounds, I have a sneaky suspicion that time is not going to heal all these wounds, as this medical someecard below so eloquently explains.

Until the early 1990s, much of the research in substance abuse was focused on males or mixed-gender samples without significant attention to gender differences. In 1994, the National Institutes of Health published guidelines concerning the inclusion of women and minorities as subjects in clinical research (National Institutes of Health 1994). Since that time, the number of published research reports examining various aspects of substance use disorders in women and gender differences in substance use disorders has increased tremendously. There is now greater recognition that important biological and psychosocial differences between men and women influence the prevalence, presentation, comorbidity, and treatment of substance use disorders. This increase in awareness of gender-specific issues is also seen in the clinical sector, with approximately 40% of substance abuse treatment facilities now providing special programs or groups for women (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 2006a). This chapter provides an overview of the current knowledge base concerning substance use disorders in women. Specifically, the epidemiology, neurobiology, psychiatric comorbidity, course of illness, and treatment of substance use disorders in women is reviewed.

3UP: Cashman, speed, injuries
- Posted: 8:23 AM, April 2, 2012
But when it comes to college basketball, Cashman's blue blood runs deep. He has always been a Kentucky Wildcats fan and has become friendly over the years with their coach, John Calipari. Also, Cashman is quite aware of a bit of quirky history: Kentucky has won the NCAA tournament six times (1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996 and 1998) and the Yankees have gone on to win the World Series in each of those years. So before this tournament began, Cashman sent a text to Calipari, who is a Yankees fan. Cashman reiterated the history to Calipari in pointing out why his rooting interest will be so strong. Calipari texted back, "then I better win."
Kentucky plays Kansas tonight for the championship.
2. In yesterday's Post, I wrote this column about the art of the steal looking as if it is coming back in the majors.
I hope you will read it to see why so many folks in the game think we are returning to a time of rising stolen base totals. But if it is then the Mets' loss of Jose Reyes to free agency and Angel Pagan in a trade to the Giants could be problematic.
Reyes, the Mets' all-time steal leader, had 39 steals last year and Pagan 32 and that represented more than half of the 130 the team generated. The next-highest total was the 13 of David Wright. Perhaps if Wright can stay healthy he could become a twentysomething steal man again. Andres Torres, who was obtained for Pagan, stole 19 last year and 26 the season before. The stolen base is not a significant part of the game of Reyes replacement, Ruben Tejada.
As for the Yankees, they have Brett Gardner and Curtis Granderson as part of their regular lineup. They already are looking for ways to inject Eduardo Nunez's live body into the lineup to either rest Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez or – at times even – play some outfield. His fearlessness in stealing bases could be another reason to try to play him, especially if thievery is indeed a trend to watch in 2012.
3. What would be a bigger recent joke job: The Jets missing the playoffs or if the Knicks fail to even qualify?
The Jets, of course, were talking Super Bowl and the Knicks, for some reason, were being discussed as in contention for the NBA championship at least during three distinct points this season, beginning with the addition of Tyson Chandler, the emergence of Jeremy Lin and the boost experienced when Mike Woodson replaced Mike D'Antoni.
Now, of course, the Knicks are in an extreme struggle to simply make the playoffs and the reason we are told is because they may not be able to overcome injuries, notably to Jeremy Lin and Amar'e Stoudemire. I don't know if there is any crying in basketball or baseball. I do know there should be no alibis.
For the record, the Bulls are 14-6 without Derrick Rose, the reigning MVP and far and away Chicago's most important component in the team sport that depends on the best players more than any other. Credit coach Tim Thibodeau for creating a culture of defense all the time and excuses never.
I bring this up because baseball season is about to begin and already we see how injuries are going to rip into rosters. But it should be noted that winning teams figure out how to successfully navigate the season. The Cardinals suffered arguably the most devastating injury of any team in 2011 when they lost their ace, Adam Wainwright, for the season in spring training. Yet they went on to win the World Series.
The Yankees in the past few days had to shut down Michael Pineda with a shoulder injury. Maybe he will pitch soon, maybe he won't. Perhaps he will be effective, perhaps he won't. The Yankees were hoping he would grow into a No. 2 starter. But if that is going to happen it is going to happen with the season already in progress.
The Yankees were really good last year at dealing with problems. It began when Cliff Lee spurned them in free agency and Andy Pettitte went on what we now know was a sabbatical, not a retirement. Then A.J. Burnett continued to pitch like A.J. Burnett and – more problematic – Phil Hughes pitched like A.J. Burnett. But they were a tough-minded team with a good winning culture and they worked their way through the difficulties. Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia were much better than anticipated, and Ivan Nova emerged as a trustworthy rotation piece. It helped them win 97 games and the toughest division in the majors.
Injuries are going to strike all 30 teams this year. No one gets out of the season without being touched by the DL. You are going to read plenty about "devastating injuries" and maybe there will be. But is there anything more devastating than losing the reigning MVP for nearly a third of an abbreviated season or losing your ace for a whole campaign?
Over the next six months, elite teams will emerge. Part of that will be about who stays the healthiest. But part of it will be about which teams do not fracture – in spirit, confidence and cohesion – when bodies begin to break down.

Last Sunday, Raw Possibility founder returned to The Gentle Barn for a second time in a row. The barn was filled with a plethora of personalities… and one such personality caught our eye and taste-buds: FRANKEN'S Gourmet Franks manned by an epic mustache and a beautiful curly-haired babe standing below a shaded awning. The kiosk is a vendor on wheels that parks on Sundays at the entrance of the Gentle Barn. Upon entering the barn, we noticed a few customers who came solely to purchase Franken's gourmet franks. According to the Franken's Gourmet Franks advertisement, the hot dogs or "franks" are 100% plant-based. On the side of the cart, is a table filled with vegan condiments–two rows of which are fresh jalapeno, onions, cole slaw, and "bacon" bits to slather on your frank. We ordered "The Creature" and "The Witch" and–despite our expectations–the monster mash did not play when we bit into them. But, the dog did not disappoint! In fact, for customers scorched in desert heat, sweating from having walked around a dry barn for the last two hours, we still managed to enjoy the hotness of a dog kept warm with what seemed like a gas-operated burner. The Frankenstand is parking its vegan cart at the Gentle Barn every Sunday at the entrance (until further notice). You can also find them at Figueroa Produce on Tuesdays and Bedrock Studios on Wednesdays.
Frankenstand is definitely a treat for us Valley folks. Instead of driving through the horror of LA horrors–traffic—why not take a scenic route over the hill and into the Canyons of Canyon Country to bite into an American staple made vegan: the hot-dog.

Forums >Gears and Wears>Guys-What are your favorite cold weather running pants?
I'm not really digging my old school baggy sweatpants.
mileage hound
I used to be a big fan of Sporthills, but they are now harder to find and not the same quality as they were 10-15 years agon.
I now wear a pair of Sughoi running pants. They are tapered and more form-fitting than your baggy sweatpants and synthetic so they do not turn into sponges.
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

2013 Goals:

I normally don't like tights, but I have some Frank Shorter tights that are fleece lined that are wonderful.
When it's really cold, I'll wear my Zone 3 (or what ever the coldest zone is) pants from Sporthill.
Link to a previous conversation on the topic. I'm not in the same mindset as Spaniel on the SportHill...I'm still a fan. But I am planning on looking at the North Face Windstopper Hybrid pant.
Did an angel whisper in your ear and hold you close and take away your fear...In those long last moments
Thanks for the link Miltruck, very helpful.
Sugoi Firewall - best winter running pant I have ever had.
I run in a pair of ralph lauren sweat pants from the early 1990's. They've never failed me yet.
Rusk Runner
pearl izumi select thermal running tights work for me.
PRs...5K - 22:02, 4mile - 27:48, 13.1 - 1:44, 26.2 - 3:42
Just Run!!!
knee wrecker
If it's warm enough I'll just wear shorts. If it's a bit cool for that I wear running tights. Colder than that I wear shorts over running tights. A bit colder than that and tracksters over shorts. Very cold - tracksters over tights.
(Not sure if "tracksters" means something the the US - they're tracksuit bottoms designed for running in, you can get them in different thicknesses.)
Asics Myles II: hard to beat the price, they'relightweight, reasonably breathable and wind-resistant, and no static cling in dry winter conditions.
But I run much more in my CW-X tights than any running pants.
How cold? I have a couple of pairs of the basic light Nike Dri-Fit pants that I like. But I don't typically run in temps much below freezing.
The process is the goal.
Men heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.
Asics Thermopolis LT tights....our winter lows rarely get down to the mid 20's F.
I'd also consider others, such as Pearl Izumi....but would pick running tights over running pants.

With my new iron! I LOVE it! It gets nice and hot, steams wonderfully, has such a sturdy base! You'd think a sturdy base would be a no-brainer, but this is the first iron I've used that you don't have to worry about knocking it over accidentally. As soon as I saw my iron, I new she needed to be named "Bonnie", not sure why, but the name just stuck! Too bad, I really wanted to be able to name my iron a guy's name so that I could try to make my husband jealous (joking here!). If I named my iron a guy's name I could say things like, "Ooh James really gets hot!" or "Burton makes me hot!" or "I wonder if I turned Peter on?" But alas, it wasn't meant to be, for "Bonnie" is my iron and she & I will be good friends...most of the time! | |||
GREAT! Maybe female is best. You wouldn't want to take the chance that "he burned you bad". "We are all here.....because we are not all there." | ||||
I need to know what iron could turn Peter on? I do need a new iron. Where did you get yours? | ||||
What brand? Is this from the T-Fal discussion awhile ago? | ||||
Too funny! We need details! (About the iron, I mean!!) You will probably have to put asterisks between all of the letters so you don't get deleted! Thanks, Susan | ||||
Isn't it amazing at what brings us such joy I hope you and Bonnie have a long and productive life together... | ||||
Lol Bonnie is the T-Fal that we talked about a week or two ago. She is the FV4476003 Ultraglide Easycord Steam Iron with Scratch Resistant Ceramic Nonstick Soleplate and Scale System Phew, that's a mouthful! Its a great iron! | ||||
Hope your love affair lasts for a long time! | ||||
May you have a long fruitful life together... Chris | ||||
I have a T-Fal and love it too but it has no name. Even knocked it off the ironing board and cracked the plastic casing and it still doesn't leak. Glad you found one to love. | ||||

Rockin' The Trails at Levis/Trow |
Written by Dan Luebke | |||
Tuesday, 17 May 2011 16:08 | |||
HPT's first road trip to Levis/Trow Mounds on Saturday May 14 was a huge success! We experienced rain on the drive to the trails, but as we pulled into the parking lot the mountain bike gods looked down upon us and it completely stopped. There were over 20 riders of all skill levels who showed up. The trails were slightly wet, but still so much fun. After a couple hours of riding lunch was served and everyone gathered around the coolers. Later, the hard core riders went out for another spin on the trails while others pulled out the lawn chairs, started a fire, and guarded the coolers until everyone returned. Some people braved the weather and camped out while others headed back to La Crosse. Thank you to everyone who participated! If you missed this trip stay tuned as the next road trip is being planned for Saturday July 16. Trackback(0)

If there's one thing we're all fond of here at AP, it's power on-the-go. Portable chargers, extended batteries -- whatever it takes to keep our gear charged up. There's one issue with all of these options, though: they also have to be charged. Granted, once a portable charger is all juiced up it usually lasts for a while, but wouldn't it be nice to have something that practically juices itself? Enter PowerSkin's upcoming line of solar chargers.
Planned for a February release, PowerSkin will be dropping two new chargers that incorporate solar charging technology, the SolarCharge and KeyCharge. Both names are pretty self-explanatory, but here's the long and short of it:

Subaru will expand Ind. plant, add new model in 2016
TOKYO -- Subaru will expand production capacity at its Indiana plant rather than build a new factory and will start making a new model there in 2016, the company said.
At a press conference to unveil the plans, Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Subaru-maker Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., also said Subaru expects U.S. sales to climb 9 percent to 365,000 units in 2013.
"We'll be selling 1,000 cars every day," he said.
The company expects its global sales to rise 6 percent to 750,000.
Yoshinaga said the company will finalize details of the capacity expansion by March 31.
The company is considering how to boost output at its Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. factory in Lafayette, its only overseas assembly plant.
It could extend the Subaru line; negotiate with Toyota Motor Corp. for more capacity from the second line, which makes Toyota Camry sedans; or add a third line.
"We are considering many options," said Jun Kondo, Fuji Heavy's deputy president and global manufacturing chief. "It was decided expanding the current plant was better than building a new one."
Subaru declined to identify the new model to be made there. But it likely will be the Impreza, the Impreza-based XV Crosstrek crossover or the Forester crossover. Those vehicles are all imported from Japan now.
The Impreza is the brand's No. 2 selling vehicle in the United States, after the Outback wagon. Impreza sales roughly doubled to 81,799 units in 2012 after the introduction of the redesigned version. The Forester ranked third, with sales of 76,347 units last year, unchanged from 2011.
The decision comes as Subaru seeks ways to boost North American output to meet booming demand for its cars there after a fourth straight year of record U.S. sales.
Yoshinaga told Automotive News in November that his company could sell 400,000 units in the United States as early as 2016, up from 336,441 in 2012. Subaru's 2012 U.S. sales rose 26 percent, well above the industrywide gain of 13 percent.
Subaru needs to build more vehicles locally partly to offset the foreign exchange losses that hobble exports from Japan.
In May, Subaru said it would boost capacity at its Indiana plant to 200,000 by mid-2014, from around 170,000 then.
The new expansion would come in addition to that.
Yoshinaga did not give a target capacity for Indiana. But in November, he said Subaru likely would need a further expansion to between 250,000 and 300,000 units a year.
In Lafayette, the Subaru line makes the Subaru Outback, Legacy and Tribeca. It has a maximum capacity of 200,000 units and has been working overtime.
The Camry line has a capacity of about 100,000.
The United States is by far Subaru's biggest market. Sales there account for 49 percent of the brand's global volume.

CD (Item 504549) Trama (Brazil), 2009 — Condition: New Copy
One of the most soulful sets we've heard in years from Ed Motta – almost a return to his roots as the heir apparent of Brazilan soul back in the 90s – but with some of the best sophisticated touches that Ed's brought to his work in recent years too! The album's a brilliant balance of both Motta modes – with enough grooves to re-introduce Ed to a wider global audience, way past the barrier of language – especially the American soul crowds who first fell in love with Motta's records a decade or so ago. Yet it's also got all the warmth and deeper jazzy sensibilities that we've watched come into Ed's music since that time too – a sense of complexity that not only marks him as one of the most creatively vibrant artists of his generation, but one who's also willing to take a lot of chances too! Brilliant throughout – with cuts that include "Piquenique", "O Mestre E O Aprendiz", "Neferetiti", "Tanto Faz", "Carencia No Frio", "Pe Na Jaca", "Mensalidade", "Minha Vida Toda Com Voce", and "A Turma Da Pilantragem". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Yogi Berra can't make the trip to Yankees spring training
Yogi Berra is a regimented man. If he does something one way that works that will be the way he does it. Those plans, though, will have to deviate this year as the 87-year-old baseball legend will see spring training start for the Yankees without him. It is not so much that Berra is in ailing health, but his age and limited travel ability that have made him a no-show at George M. Steinbrenner Field...

Staff members at Richmond County Hospice participated in a stress workshop on Thursday, presented by Emily Ballance, MEd, LPC, CSP.
The workshop, "Managing Stress and Preventing Burnout at Work, at Home and in Life," included information to assist hospice staff with refocusing and re-prioritizing their important life events and personal expectations. It identified early signs of stress and burnout, and also helped staff develop a plan for healthier lifestyles and strategies for change.
The workshop also included several engaging exercises that allowed staff members to learn more about themselves and each other.
During one exercise, Ballance had staff complete a checklist to identify each person's stress level. Next, the group lined up according to the lowest number of Life Crisis Units to the highest number, giving everyone an opportunity to see who within the group might need a little more help or support from their peers.
During the Life Crisis Unit exercise, Bereavement Specialist Stephanie Thornton said she noticed that she and her husband, who was also in the group, were on opposite ends of the line when the group lined up. This, she said, gave them an opportunity for discussion at home.
At the end of the workshop, Ballance helped staff members set goals to help reduce stress and burnouts, and to establish specific activities to help each person accomplish those goals.
Teresa Graham, Hospice Aide, said she felt so strongly about the information she learned that she wanted to share it with others, especially members of her church.
"I really enjoyed it," she said.
"The workshop was a good reminder to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of the patients we serve," said Jessica Mims, a social worker.
Ballance currently lives in Raleigh and speaks to health care organizations, corporations, and at state and national conferences across the country. She frequently presents on humor, stress management and communication. She is a member of the National Speakers Association, and the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor.
Ballance is also a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience in her field, and holds a Master of Education degree and Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
When not traveling and speaking, she volunteers her time with older adults and the Autism Society of North Carolina.

Abstract: Healthcare waste management continues to present an array of challenges for developing countries, and Botswana is no exception. The possible impact of healthcare waste on public health and the environment has received a lot of attention such that Waste Management dedicated a special issue to the management of healthcare waste (Healthcare Wastes Management, 2005. Waste Management 25(6) 567-665). As the demand for more healthcare facilities increases, there is also an increase on waste generation from these facilities. This situation requires an organised system of healthcare waste management to curb public health risks as well as occupational hazards among healthcare workers as a result of poor waste management. This paper reviews current waste management practices at the healthcare facility level and proposes possible options for improvement in Botswana.

By the time Republican Sen. Ted Cruz arrived for an event at a gun manufacturing business outside Austin, there was a healthy-sized, cheering crowd to greet him. One constituent even held a handmade sign saying, "Ted Cruz Rocks."
The scene had the look and feel of a campaign event. Except that the freshman senator isn't up for re-election for six years.
Instead, the Texans were there to applaud their senator's head-turning performance in Washington even though he's only been in office for a month.
In that short time, Cruz has made a name for himself, joining only two others to vote against John Kerry's nomination for secretary of state, aggressively defending gun rights in a high-profile gun violence hearing, and perhaps most notably trying to take down defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel.
Cruz stands out in a body where freshmen senators have traditionally been encouraged to start out being workhorses not show horses. But in an interview with CNN, he was unapologetic.
"At the end of the day I was elected to represent 26 million Texans and to speak the truth. You know, I think a lot of Americans are tired of politicians in Washington in both parties who play games," Cruz said.
The 42-year-old Cuban-American, the first Hispanic senator from Texas, studied free market principles and memorized the Constitution as a teenager, thanks to the encouragement his father, a Cuban refugee.
He was a debate champion at Princeton and attended Harvard Law School, eventually becoming solicitor general of Texas, where he argued for states rights and religious freedom before the U.S. Supreme Court.
When the 2012 campaign season came around, he mounted a challenge from the right against Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the GOP favorite to take the state's open Senate seat.
With the help of an intense grass roots effort from tea party groups, Cruz came from virtually nowhere to beat Dewhurst, which gave him a lock on the general election in the reliably Republican state.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Newberry College sophomore midfielder Gabrielle Brodie has been named to the 2012 DAKTRONICS All-Southeast Region Women's Soccer Team. The team is selected by the sports information directors of the NCAA Division II Southeast Region.
This is the first all-region selection for Brodie (Rolleston, Canterbury, New Zealand), who was recently named to the All-South Atlantic Conference First Team. Brodie finished the season with 10 goals, two assists and 22 points, including one game winning goal. The Kiwi finished the season fourth in the SAC in goals and sixth in points.
Brodie's impressive sophomore season included three multi-goal matches. On Sept. 1 in a 5-0 victory over Bob Jones, Brodie recorded two goals and two assists, including an assist on the game winning goal.
As only a sophomore, Brodie ranks No. 10 all-time at Newberry in career points and No. 9 in career goals scored.
Brodie is the second player in Newberry history to be honored as an All-Southeast Region selection by DAKTRONICS, and the fifth player to earn any All-Region honors. The selection of Brodie as a member of the first team marks the first time a Newberry women's soccer player has ever earned first team all-region honors.
With her first team all-region honors, Brodie is now eligible for All-American status, which will be released later this month.

Toms River Schools to Replace or Repair Bennett 'Bubble'?
Repairs estimated at $300-400,000.
Toms River Regional will hold a special meeting today to approve the repair of the Bennett Athletic Center, which ripped and flattened in Hurricane Sandy.
Discussion on whether to repair or replace the "bubble," which was both rented out for sporting tournaments such as winter track meets and used daily by the district as the gymnasium space for Intermediate East, ensued at the November school board meeting.
Residents as well as school board members and officials debated whether the Bennett Bubble should be fixed, replaced or even rebuilt as a brick building, but Toms River Regional Schools Business Administrator Bill Doering said it was paramount to make a decision as soon as possible since the school was without its regular gym space.
Doering said the Bennett center is used by Intermediate East students daily for gym classes, but that the district also is hoping to have the structure fixed because multiple indoor track meets are scheduled for the winter track season, which starts in December. The district wants to honor those contracts, as renting out the Bennett complex is a source of income for the district.
However, residents and board members debated whether repair was the best option. The life span of the fabric that makes up the air structure is 15 years. Board member Alex Pavliv questioned the profitability of the Bennett Center, while residents called for a more detailed look at whether having the site was worth it or whether a brick building would be forth the cost considering it would appreciate as real estate, instead of depreciate from obsolete materials after 15 years.
Doering said the cost to repair the Bubble would be $300,000-400,000, while replacing it could run $800,000 approximately. A completely new building could require a referendum vote, put before voters on a special election day.
The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Toms River High School North.

Just spend the $800k and be done with it.That POS that was there is nothing but an eyesore...even before Sandy !!!!!!!!!
7:00 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Surely we can afford a building rather than that monstrosity!!!
7:03 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Just raise the taxes on the barrier island again ! Why not....maybe we have 8 kids in the school system. Come on Maria....you know how to screw us over !
7:39 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Sounds like a plan. Did somebody hide the fact that towns tax property for revenue on you? Not happy with your assessment, appeal it. Not happy with your elected representative, vote against them.
Keith Bryant
9:09 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
everything is the barrier island. you people over there thimk your the only people that pay taxes well bad news everyone pays taxes in toms river. Build a new Building and not a Bubble, Get rid of the Rittaco Bubble or Build a Bubble like the one in Riverwood Park No Problems With That One, for the poor people in Ortley who want to live near the Ocean and pay no Taxes Move somewhere else. Tired of hearing Rich Idiots Cry Fowl. Build it and Build it Big For Ortley.

Hey Keith...cry "Fowl"? Would that be turkey, chicken, duck, or goose?
8:14 pm on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Ridiculous to think of rebuilding the bubble when you have a 20% loss of tax base and thousands of township residents that are displaced from their homes. It sounds like the mainland doesn't want to be bothered with the barrier island folks - only looking for "what is in it for them". It would be a win-win to form a new barrier island community or join an existing. Comments seem heartless but telling of our culture.

The insurance deductible is $100,000, and the district may contract an expert on FEMA to help navigate how to best recoup any costs, even the deductible.
9:01 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Then doesn't the insurance company call the shots regarding repair or replace?? That is NOT a TRRS decision.
Are you saying, at most it will cost TRRS $100,000?
If that "IS" the case... seems like a no-brainer to me.
8:10 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
The bubble is a necessary facility for both daily use as a gym & rental space during winter track season. The yellow padders of TR led by Carol Bensen don't want it simple because it was Mr Ritaccos idea. Carol did you forget what it was like when your son had to travel hours away for his meets? Right now without the bubble my kids are squeezed into the gym at Int East each day. So sad. Lets use common sense not hatred this time people
8:14 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
It's not needed for gym classes at Int. East... Int. North does just fine with 1 gym and no bubble.
The bubble should be profitable... otherwise, replace whoever manages the bubble.
The bubble is NOT profitable when you take into account "ALL" costs... in fact, big money loser...
4:07 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Well, if you're a "parent" of a kid from IE then you'll have a bit of patience regarding gym classes until they get into high school, right? It's only a couple of years?
Oh, wait -- I get it -- you're a -- TRACK PARENT!!! That means that you need to -- must I say it -- DRIVE YOUR KIDS TO MEETS AND PRACTICES!!! OH THE HORROR!!!
Guess what -- the majority of us don't have kids in track, or sports, or even in school anymore. I personally am a bit tired of hearing the "for the kids" crap, and no, I'm not moving out of town because I don't like it. Either suck it up and drive your kids, or make them do a more local sport. I hear there's a new softball field across town that my tax dollars also paid for -- use that.
Mike L
10:02 am on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Hi, I understand that we should do as much as we can for the kids, but these are trying times. If you believe that this is a necessary facility then why didn't we build a bricks and mortar building in the past? As far as it being a rental property, WHO do we rent it to, OURSELVES, the use of the building is charged to the schools using it, OUR SCHOOLS, do you think that a building with outside "portapotties" would be used by any outside official track meets. It's for intermural use most of the times.....The Administration uses the talking points that the bubble makes money, we are charging ourselves in the schools budget. If you think I am wrong, look at all the groups clambering to get into the "Center" at Toms River North. Another charge ourselves building..........Where did Mr Doering get these figures from, he's no engineer and as far as I remember it takes week to get studies done. Let's get second , third opinion before anything is done....for the love of the children.
8:19 pm on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
So many of the kids are so over scheduled with sports they shouldn't have to take gym in school. There should be an opt out for kids that are already involved in ample physical exercise through the extensive professional children's sports networks that are present in our community.
8:18 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
with all the $$ we spent on insurance, do you mean to say that we did not have insurance on the "bubble:?
East gym teacher
8:24 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
JD do you work at East? Without the bubble the gym classes are so crowded that most kids can't participate daily I suggest you get your facts straight before you make statements.
8:31 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
You don't need the bubble for gym... it is a luxury for East... I'm well aware of East facilities and North facilities... and they are similar sized schools.
9:01 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
JD u really need to stop spouting ur opinion as if it were fact. Take a walk through the gym at int east during class time & see for ur self why they need the bubble. Maybe if u got off the dirty slaters payroll u could state an informed opinion instead of just regurgating what the Torrone twins feed u.
9:28 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
It's not that crowded ....dogs....
Since 1/3 of the kids from Int. East failed the NJASK due to substandard teachers at TRRS, they are in Project 200 remedial course during gym at least 1 day per week.
When TRRS hires a Theater Arts major to teach 7th grade math... because mommy and daddy are teachers... you know TRRS has problems...

10:13 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
ok we get it you were hired by ritacco..who you know or marry?
9:14 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
In my opinion, I think that the BOE has their priorities a little mixed up...more important things to get done than having a gym for the "children" right now. Kids are resilient, they can deal with a smaller gym for the time being.
butch cassidy
10:14 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
thats so true suz....hope people listen it makes so much sense not to put it back up now especially
9:58 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
This is a no brainer.... use $2 million dollars in bribes that Ritacco scamed from the school district and rebuild the eye sore bubble that makes no sense. By the way where is the money and what are the plans for putting it back into the system? Mayor Kelaher and Toms River Councilwoman Maria Maruca, Councilmen George Wittman, Jeff Carr and Al Manforti have the resposibility to post it on the Township website and let the residents know how and what the plans are for ithe money before it gets misused or confiscated. We the people have the right to know!
10:11 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
JD here u go again spinning ur nonsense & getting off topic. FACT is the gym classes r overcrowded.
10:22 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
You've entered the "no spin zone"...
Just the facts...
1/3 of the kids failed NJASK and have to take a remedial course during Gym.
Theater Arts major hired to teach 7th grade math... this past summer... because mommy and daddy are teachers in the district...
as such... gym class is not that crowded... or should I say... not anymore crowded than TRINorth gym class.
but.. if you read above ... dogs....
For $100,000 out of pocket... I said it was a no brainer... meaning you fork out the $100k and get it repaired.
10:25 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
When I was in school we went outside for gym every day, hot or cold, as long as it wasn't really windy, or raining. Only on bad weather days did we stay in the gym and play basketball, or some other game involving running and a ball. Don't kids go outside anymore?
As for the bubble- it was ugly, it wasn't practical and look- now it's been beaten down by weather. Build some other sort of building, with minimal air conditioning, minimal heating, and bleachers for spectators. Pretty much a 'stadium' or sports field with a roof and some walls.
11:03 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Ya know, I forgot all about outside gym classes...You are right on the money! We always played outside everyday. Gym was only used for pep-rally's and such. Wr are now raising a generation of pansy's!
10:28 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Really people - we need to let the whole Ritacco/bubble eyesore go. I live near the bubble, my kids attend IE and Hooper. They've done a nice job with it. It's set back, they've planted trees - it's far from an eyesore. I can think of many other areas in town that could be deemed an eyesore. As far as kids being resilient - let's stop asking them to take the brunt of the situation - the gym classes are overcrowded, we have hundreds of kids that utilize the bubble for track, it is a necessity. Whatever the most responsible thing to do is - replace / repair, let's do it and move on. Pick something else to focus on. The Restore on Fischer Blvd can still use volunteers. There are still many families displaced (which is all the more reason to have school as normal as possible) - help a family and stop the whining.
Mike L
10:41 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
First of all I don't why we have a building like that.....just shows you, who was in charge of our school monies......Ok, enough said, let me throw this out for discussion. Why not get a prefab steel structure. I've seen many larger than the dome and for way less, get some company in for info and insight......Also here is another thought, the township is looking for space for a storage facility for their records, make the building large enough for both and we don't have to have the township buy land for their up and coming building. We will save on spending township (our) monies for both buildings. One thing someone has to explain to me why the township sells land and then looks to buy more for there projects? Don't forget that insurance monies received would also pay for this, maybe we could use someone in the townships staffing to make up plans for this, we must be paying some one on the inside for planning things like this?

The bubble needed to be deflayed prior to the stotrm. The bubbles at Middletown South anfd St John Vianney were deflated snd were fine after the storm. It wsd a case of negligence.
11:07 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Intereastparent: Perhaps if you went to the BOE meetings you would know that there was NO WAY that anyone would have known that the "bubble" was going in the very beginning. When this (the eventual bubble) was placed on the ballot for a vote it was worded as "Capital Improvement", no where was it listed as an "Air Supported Structure". So, how did Mrs. Benson know that this is what Mr. RItaccco was going to with the money? Is she some kind of clairvoyant? Secondly, at the last BOE meeting, ALL Mrs. Benson asked was if the bubble was to be either repaired or replaced which way would be the most cost effective and why this discussion could not be done out in a public form giving the public a chance to ask questions. She is also concerned about the fact that there are kids going out to this bubble for gym out in the cold with little to no heat in the structure in the winter and no air conditioning in the summer. So, what is wrong with that? Did she show some kind of concern for a child that she should not have?

did they ever put bathrooms in that thing @eastgym teacher?
I have spoken
11:20 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
It was a hidious eyesore. I'm glad it's gone. Now let's collect the insurance money and build a nice building something we can be proud of. This was just another Ritacco deflated bubble.
11:46 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
Carol & her crew r just anti anything ritacco did bottom line is the bubble makes money. Saves money & is a much needed space. If it was Torrones idea Bensen would be praising it from the roof tops
11:54 am on Monday, November 26, 2012
I WAS at the last mtg. Carol stated she wanted to have a mtg so she could ask questions about the bubble. It has been a thorn in her side from the start mainly cause it wasn't built when her son ran track Get a life & get over the stupid issues
12:02 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
If I recall, there was a vote on the bubble and it was decided by voters NO. Then the next day it goes up.
Somehow the rest of us made it through life with just a gym and field outside. If the income exceeds expenses then rebuild it. If it costs money, remove it.

Sorry, the deductable is not even worth the repair. It is low on the priority list unfortunately. Remove it. Was ugly anyway.

2:53 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Isnt this structure the same as the structure that came down at the Dallas Cowboys stadium? Which Also came down in a wind storm of 55-65 mph? Seems if it could come down once, it could do it again. Imagine if there where children in it?!!
Not to mention it was an eye sore and the kids hated it, at least all mine did.
I say build a brick building. The district would earn the same in revenue, if not more. The bubble was hardly a professional looking building. If you want to make up the difference, you could always rent out for other community functions.
Just my opinion.
jackie pascual
3:37 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
@east gym teacher....the kids HATE gym class in the bubble. Ask them!
Besides..... There should be a corridor at the very least, so they dont have to walk outside before and after class....and that stupid heavy revolving door in which my kid got his leg caught, and cost a trip to the ER. REMOVE IT!
3:55 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
The pressurized air inside the bubble caused some children to develop breathing problems. I know -- my child was one of them, and had to take gym in the regular gym under a doctor's note. In any event, when my kids were at IE they were outside on the fields for gym most of the year anyway. And, there's no reason why they can't use the winter marking period for a health class for some of the students as they do in high school if they don't already.
That monstrosity would never have been constructed if it had been put on a ballot as a referendum; instead, this was just another one of Ritacco's scams in order to line his pockets. As it was, he tried to get the Schools Construction Corp. to pay for it until they informed him that there was no money for such a project and the taxpayers had to foot the entire bill. The whole thing should be shut down and tossed in the garbage heap.
5:29 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Just get rid of it I do not want of my tax dollars spent to fix it, replace it or put up a new building. I agree with a lot of people this is not b=needed for gym. Go outside and in the colder weather take health if you think t is so over crowded. As far as track it is not making money and if Toms River students are on track let them travel just like other sports teams travel.
5:39 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Does everyone know that the bubble is a cash business, no registers? Told there was no place to put any more electric. So where does this cash go? How is inventory kept? As far as cleanliness, the fans in there were disgustingly dirty.
6:07 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Not exactly true....
TRRS rents the facility... gets say $5000 per event.
The Event Director charges the schools a fee... typically $500 for boys and girls teams... and charges an admission fee. The admission fee is cash but that goes to the Event Director. Many events are run by NJSIAA.
The cash portion for TRRS... is the refreshment stand... and we know who runs that...
Ritacco former girlfriend... who also runs 1144 cafe... and Pinebelt arena refreshment stand.
6:10 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Let me add... TRRS does not HOST any track events... just rents it out for someone else to host and run the event.

7:01 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
wow another cash only business with tr schools.not surprised remember the ritacco center
9:21 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
You know where the cash went -- everyone on this comment section knows where the cash went. That's why that Bubble should never be rebuilt. Unfortunately as I write this, it will be rebuilt, and the same, corrupt, cash-only operation will be in place.
5:47 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
@Seriously, Are you serious ? The pressurized air inside the bubble ? Comon' you can't be that naive. The Air is trapped between an inner an outer membrane and can no way cause breathing problems for anyone. That's like saying your kid can't have balloons at his birthday party because the pressurized air in the balloons cause breathing problems. That's why they call it a bubble.
6:09 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
It can get stuffy in there when there is a large event... lots of hot air... CO2...
Depends on how good the air circulation system is...
6:50 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
JD is all that hot air from u? Frankly I'm sick of ur self confirmed expertise on all subjects large & small. Pretty sure I'm not alone on that. Too bad all ur knowledge hasn't helped u get a job.
7:08 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
dogs... your alone...
You just don't like facing the facts...
Thanks for the complement... how many times do I need to tell you that I'm an expert at most subjects...
9:17 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Tell that to my kid, you jerk, who would go in there to take gym, run a few steps and start to wheeze and end up in the nurse's office. My kid liked gym too. Our family doctor, who at one time was one of the school district pediatricians, told us that the pressurized air inside the bubble has caused breathing problems in more than one kid in Toms River. Count how many track kids walking around with inhalers at meets.
Christ, the man is locked up and they STILL worship his backside!!!
9:33 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
Pavlivdogs, you spend an inordinate amount of time singing the praises of the school district and everything Ritacco. Frankly, I really don't care, as my kids are out, graduated, and in very good colleges (no thanks to most of the teachers in your union). However, when it comes to that bubble and the health issues of my child, I know what I am talking about.
Maybe if they put that monstrosity back in place they'll put in a better ventilation system so the same thing that happened to my child won't happen to other children.
7:30 pm on Monday, November 26, 2012
JD ur an expert in ur own own delusional mind. this blog was the best thing that ever happened to u prior to this no one would listen. Remember just cause its on a news forum doesn't make it a fact....well there is 1 exception. It is a FACT that ur an unemployable blowhard

Just as the mayor of SSH wants to keep the collapsed wreckage of the roller coaster right where it is as a memorial of Superstorm Sandy, perhaps we should do the same with the Bubble to commemorate the disaster known as Michael Ritacco?!?!

Roll it up and throw it out! Looks like an ugly airplane hanger next to a school. And thats exactly what it is. Let these fat, lazy, rude,spoiled rotten,video game playing,texting,disrespectful, antisocial,asthmatic,peanut allergic little wussies go outside for gym and get some fresh air and exercise like it has been done for thousands of years. Bring back dodge ball, and stop giving these kids trophies for doing absolutely nothing but showing up for the game. so ridiculous!!! Does anyone remember being a kid or not. It definitely was not like this thats for sure. Man up you little $h!t$. no balloons, johnny is alergic to latex. What the hell is a peanut table? does everyone have their purell bottle? no wonder why all these kids get sick so often. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

@fed up - not quite as "politically correct" as I might put it, but I agree with the sentiment. Outdoors is a huge, free gymnasium. Use it.
