In mid-June, when the first owners moved into the Austonian, a 56-story luxury high-rise in Austin's up-and-coming Second Street District, some of their welcome gift bags included biscuits from the Groovy Dog Bakery. This was just one of many gestures aimed at making new canine residents feel at home.
"Anybody who visits Austin can see from the get-go that it's a pet-friendly city, and during development we considered the importance of embracing our future homeowners' pets as an extension of the family," says Austonian marketing director JoAnna Nuding, who, like everyone on the development team, has a dog. In her case, a 10-yearold black rescue Pug named Sadie.
"We asked ourselves, What is going to make someone want to bring a pet into an urban environment?" Nuding says. The answer: A 600-square-foot dog park on the 10th floor with selfdraining artificial turf; a fully loaded indoor grooming area where owners can DIY or arrange for in-building "spa" services with nearby Dirty Dog (one of several neighborhood pet businesses, including a vet and doggy daycare, partnering with the new establishment); a designated pet elevator; dog-loving staff primed to lend a hand including in-a-pinch walks, even at 3 am; and, importantly, no breed or size restrictions.
Offering amenities and services that go beyond the merely pet-friendly is the norm at many new high-end condos — from One Park Place in Kansas City to Sky Las Vegas on the Strip to the Residences at the Ritz Carlton in Toronto.
Why go so far for dogs? Luxury-minded empty nesters are downsizing, and "the mindset of the empty nester is the kids are gone but thank God I've still got my dog," Austonian general manager Terry Arteburn says. "The dogs are now their children," and for them, only the best will do. Ranging from $586,000 to $7.2 million and up, 40 percent of the Austonian's 178 units were sold as of early summer.

Wall v. Kholi
|Docket No.
|Op. Below
|1st Cir.
Nov 29, 2010
|Mar 7, 2011
Holding: Because the phrase "collateral review" in AEDPA means judicial review of a judgment in a proceeding that is not part of direct review, state proceedings on an inmate's motion to reduce his sentence tolled the time to file his federal habeas petition.
Plain English Holding: Inmates generally have one year to file a federal petition for habeas corpus to challenge their state conviction after that conviction becomes final. However, the time spent in state court on a motion to reduce the inmate's sentence does not count toward the one-year statute of limitations.
Judgment: Affirmed, 9-0, in an opinion by Justice Samuel Alito on March 7, 2011. Justice Scalia concurred in part.

text: Ok, This is boggling my mind as to how this is happening. My cable bill was increased to 90 dollars a month so I canceled the service. I take the box back to them, unplug all the cables going into my tv, and dig out my small ampilifed indoor tv antenna. And I still get cable channels. 4-5 of them come in with no fuzzy and the other channels below 40 have a little fuzzy and some cracking from the sound. I turn off the antenna and all I get is static. I would have never tought that a tv signal at a few ten's of mega hertz could propgate through free space.

Fisherman's Wharf Tiny Floating Home
On our vacation a couple of weeks ago we stopped in at the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. When we walked into town we walked by Fisherman's Wharf a historical part of town. While there were many larger floating homes the one that stood out for me was this unique tiny floating home so I took several photos. As usual I was not allowed inside to photograph it but maybe a reader of ours from the area might be able to.
Here is a little more information about Victoria's Fisherman's Wharf: Fisherman's Wharf is located just around the corner from Victoria's Inner Harbour or just a 10 minute walk from the Ogden Point cruise ship terminal.
Fisherman's Wharf is a lively place — the waterfront home of harbour ferries and pirates, of seals and seabirds, of fishing captains, sailors and floating houses. You can learn more of the history by clicking here.

Social media has been often touted for the role it played in the popular uprisings that have spread across the Arab world since December 2010. Despite the buzz, you may be surprised that only 0.26% of the Egyptian population, 0.1% of the Tunisian population and 0.04% of the Syrian population are active on Twitter.
Of all the countries in North Africa and the Middle East, Twitter is most popular in Kuwait, where 8.6% of the population is active users, defined as those who tweet at least once per month. Facebook's more popular throughout the region. In its most popular country, the U.A.E., some 36.18% of the population is on Facebook.
Khaled ElAhmad (who goes by the Internet alias Shusmo) created these two infographics, exploring Facebook and Twitter trends in the Arab world, using Visual.ly. His data comes from a Dubai School of Government report on Arab Social Media.
Take a look through the two infographics, which also show growth of the social networks by country and overall membership stats. Did you expect more people to be active social media users? How do you think your country's habits compare? You can also check out infographics on how China and India do social networking.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing!
Every day, a handful of WordPress.com bloggers are featured in Freshly Pressed. And every day, many more wonder, "What do I have to do to get Freshly Pressed?"
On The Daily Post, we'll take a close look at one post and why we thought it was Press-worthy to provide insight into the process and give you tips and tools to make your blog the best it can be.
Anyway, Miss Anna, that's our teacher, she got really angry when she heard the firework sounds. Popping noises, that's how I heard other people talk about it. Popping sounds. So when she heard them, she got angry. And she told us all to be very quiet, but she didn't yell it, like she sometimes does. I don't know why, but we all did.
All kinds of creators use WordPress.com to showcase their work — artists, photographers, cooks, poets, musicians. We're home to plenty of fiction writers as well, as a quick look through the Fiction or Flash Fiction topics will tell you, and we try to make sure they're represented on Freshly Pressed, too.
We found Ignorant's short story "How I Deal With Things" while reading through the excellent commentary y'all are publishing on last month's Newtown shooting. Her decision to describe the experience through the eyes of a child, perfectly punctuated with a stark photo of an empty classroom, hit us viscerally. We featured the story on Freshly Pressed, hoping it would provide a different kind of space for people to process their reactions — and judging by the hundreds of Likes and comments, we were right. Here's what drew us in:
"How I Deal With Things" hooked into a story that was already on everyone's minds (and given the scope of the tragedy, not just in the US). Along with providing an angle that traditional news and analysis doesn't, it opened the door for people who don't ordinarily turn to the blogosphere for fiction by giving them a story for which they already had context.
How many of us thought, "My god, what if that had been my child/nephew/little sister? What would I do?" when we heard the news? But how many of us stopped to think about the lived experience of the children who survived — the fear and confusion, the lasting scars, but also the understanding and insight? This story jolted us to a stop, made us consider a different perspective, and brought home the enduring nature of tragedies like this one.
"How I Deal With Things" wouldn't have worked as a piece of fiction if the narrator's voice hadn't felt real. From the run-on sentences to the (seemingly) non-sequitur asides to the description of gunshots as "fireworks," we felt like we were reading a child's account and not a piece of fiction — mission accomplished.
What did you think of "How I Deal With Things"? Will you start looking for more fiction on your travels through the Reader?

Adobe has released an Android version of its Revel app. Previously the service had only been available on mobile devices running Apple's iOS operating system. Revel is a cloud-based image and video management service that allows you to set up group libraries that are shared between friends or family members. Revel focuses on privacy, and you have full control over who can see the contents of your library.
The Revel app also offers some image editing tools such as effect filters, cropping, exposure compensation, tonal correction and red-eye reduction. Library contents can be synced across Android and iOS devices and computers. The service can also be linked to Adobe's Desktop applications Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12, allowing users to share images that have been edited in those software packages.
Basic service is free and gives you unlimited imports for the first 30 days. After that you are limited to 50 photos and videos per month. US$5.99 per month will lift the limit and get you unlimited uploads on a permanent basis. Revel for Android is now available on Google Play.

This sorta WILD event was held in late October, at Sand Springs. Sand springs is a nice campsite. It is a great place for a group of any size, you have to get creative with tents and tarps, there a lots of widow makers (aka dead trees) nowadays but you can fit lots of people in the area. The bear bagging trees (there are two viable options in close proximity) are quite high, so give yourself a good hour just to throw the rope. The trail also connects with the MST which is a great option for a day hike, so this is a good place to 'base camp'. Ii is recommended for overnight trips to park on the access road and not to park at Shingletown Gap. There is an old pair of cross country skis that have been burned in the fire over the last half decade or so, this has nothing to do with the weather but whatever, the weather was ok.
When shopping for the group meal, they didn't know what to get and were feeling kinda lazy. So they bought two rotisserie chickens, quintuple bagged them, and hiked them into camp. Lets just say that people enjoyed the WEIS quality meat that was offered. However, if you pack in 10 pounds of slow roasted chicken, you'll get several double takes. Just make sure and bear bag EVERYTHING that the birds made contact with. Believe me, the smell gets EVERYWHERE.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
"Is this one of those avant-garde things?" a dying Cole Porter (Kevin Kline) warily asks Gabe (Jonathan Pryce), a sort of Ghost of Musicals Past who appears out of the ether to shepherd the composer through the this-was-your-life montage that makes up Irvin Winkler's biopic De-Lovely. "It's a musical -- it should be entertaining," insists Porter, portrayed by Kline as a song-and-dance man gliding through even life's roughest patches. Even Porter is skeptical of the clunky flashback framing, which eventually gets shuffled off to stage left so that Winkler and screenwriter Jay Cocks can tell their story the old-fashioned way. And make no mistake: De-Lovely is as old-fashioned as movie musicals come, a film in which people sing what they can't say. You don't go five minutes without Kline or Elvis Costello or Diana Krall or Alanis Morissette breaking into "Just One of Those Things" or "Let's Misbehave" or "Love for Sale" or another immortal melody over which Porter wrote his coded lyrics. If nothing else, the movie will move product: My neighborhood Borders was sold out of the soundtrack last week, well before anyone who bought it had been able to actually see the movie.
Alas, what sets this apart from the resplendent black-tie-and-white-pearls 1930s and '40s movies Winkler wants to replicate is that this Porter bio doesn't shy away from his homosexuality. Michael Curtiz' dreamy-weepy 1946 Night and Day, with Cary Grant as Cole Porter as Cary Grant, stayed outside the bedroom door. It was enough just to have Grant behind the piano, with his own hush-hush whispers lurking in the shadows to provide the barely concealed subtext. But this film climbs into bed with Porter and the random hunks about whom he writes his secret love songs; it revels in the freedom to be truthful, even if it's not concerned with being terribly factual. "I wanted every kind of love that was available," a wistful Porter tells Gabe, as they sit in a decrepit theater and watch his life unfold onstage and onscreen.
Yet even with the freedom to tell Porter's globetrotting life story with a few more man-on-man kisses, former Martin Scorsese producer Winkler and former film critic Cocks, who wrote The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York, like their love stories traditional -- man-on-woman, especially if that woman is Ashley Judd in the role of Linda Lee, the socialite who became Porter's wife in 1919. Though theirs was at best a marriage of convenience -- she was divorced and wanted to keep her life of privilege, he needed a beard -- Winkler depicts their relationship as a doomed love affair. Judd, freed from the girls-with-guns ghetto in which she has squandered much of her career, is exceptional in the role, a woman for whom life is nothing more than forced smiles and barely concealed misery. But it's also a nasty trick, because Linda was much, much older than Porter and, depending upon which history you choose to believe, more caretaker than lover. Judd is too young and too beautiful for the part, but Winkler wants us to believe in the possible romance rather than acknowledge the sad convenience of their partnership.
Worse, the movie never tells us when anything's happening or allows us our own interpretation of their relationship. If Porter's lyrics were vague and open to interpretation, Cocks' lines are too literal and too flat, which doesn't serve a songwriter for whom metaphor was a means of survival. "What are you afraid of?" Linda asks Cole, shortly after they meet at a party where fireworks explode over all of Paris, in a scene too reminiscent of To Catch a Thief. Cole tells her he's scared only of himself, foreshadowing his move to Hollywood and the romantic liaisons that threaten to out his sexuality and ruin his career: Every line of dialogue is meant to explain a song or hint at something else around the corner. The mystery of his music is ruined as Winkler and Cocks rush to pull back the curtain on the magician. Inadvertently, it's Porter who reveals the movie's greatest flaw, when he explains to Gabe that his words "always did sound better with music beneath them."
And, ultimately, it's the songs that energize this highlight, and lowlight, reel. You may forget the movie when you walk out the theater, but you will do so while humming the soundtrack. The casting of Costello and wife Krall, as well as Sheryl Crow and Robbie Williams and other pop somebodies, is a serviceable gimmick that works more often than not. Costello's "Let's Misbehave," performed at a party where Porter is dressed as Caesar and lasciviously eyeing his ballet-dancing boyfriend, is a generous treat, and Morissette's song-and-dance rendition of "Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)" suggests a bright Broadway future once she slips off the pop charts. But Crow's "Begin the Beguine" is a dud, while Natalie Cole's "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" is but a pale shadow of Ella Fitzgerald's. It's fitting, since the movie is but a pale imitation of Porter's amazing life. Here, it just looks, well, kind of interesting.

Okay--Yet another thought (and then I promise I'll shut up for a while!).
How important are exact results? If somewhat "fuzzy" edges are acceptable, you could use a quadtree, and just insert enough nodes to get the precision you want. Then you'd only need a select statement to determine whether your point is internal to the polygon.
Who intends to stop thinking about this question for at least an hour!

Sirius CEO Hopeful of FCC Decision by End of MarchBy Reuters - Print
Sirius Satellite Radio
Inc Chief Executive Mel Karmazin said on Wednesday he
hoped U.S. regulators would rule by the end of March on the
proposed merger of Sirius and XM Satellite Radio
PHILADELPHIA, March 12 (Reuters) - Sirius Satellite Radio Inc Chief Executive Mel Karmazin said on Wednesday he hoped U.S. regulators would rule by the end of March on the proposed merger of Sirius and XM Satellite Radio Inc.
Speaking at the Bear Stearns 21st Annual Media Conference, Karmazin said he "took heart" about recent comments by U.S. Federal Communication Commission Chairman Kevin Martin, who indicated that his agency aimed to rule on the deal by the end of March.
That time frame could change, Karmazin cautioned, since regulatory approval of the proposed $4.2 billion merger of the two satellite radio companies had taken longer than initially expected. The companies had hoped regulators would sign off on the deal by the end of 2007.
"The fact that it has lingered this long, it has been interpreted ... as good news," Karmazin said.
"Clearly if there was a big problem with the merger, it wouldn't take the (regulators) this long to figure it out. Either you believe we compete with a whole bunch of audio choices or you think there's a distinct market called satellite radio," he said.
The Department of Justice appeared to have all of the information it needed on the deal, but the companies were having active discussions with the FCC, he said. Talks with the FCC had recently accelerated, Karmazin said.
Karmazin said the companies needed to convince regulators that the deal would be in the public interest and not harm competition, as some critics have claimed.
XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc Chairman Gary Parsons echoed Karmazin's comments on Wednesday and said he was confident that the regulatory review was moving forward "in a timely manner."
"We believe that DOJ has the information and feel the FCC has the necessary information to complete their decision-making process and have confidence they will move forward and will complete that in a timely manner," Parsons said at the conference.
Unless the DOJ sued to stop the proposed merger, the deal could close immediately after the FCC ruled, Karmazin said.
Shares of Sirius, whose programming includes "shock jock" Howard Stern and NASCAR auto racing, gained 15 cents, or 5.5 percent, to $2.90 in afternoon trading on Nasdaq.
Shares of XM Satellite, whose programming features Oprah Winfrey and Major League Baseball, gained 61 cents, or 5.5 percent, to $11.70 on Nasdaq.

FERNDALE, Mich. – Just a month after implementing new parking rates and pay stations, the city of Ferndale is temporarily putting the brakes on all parking fees for the next two weeks.
Read more: Ferndale parking meters creating confusion, frustration
The city's decision is in response to negative reaction from the community. During Monday night's City Council meeting, the increase in parking passes and rates was one of many complaints. For example, on-street parking has, for some spaces, gone from 50 cents each hour to a dollar.
As for the pay machines, so far they have proven to be far from user-friendly. Businesses say it's driving customers away.
City leaders admit there is a flaw in the system.
"The machines aren't working to our and our visitors' satisfaction, so I think it's incumbent upon us not to start charging for the system until we get it right. We have a duty to get this right," said Ferndale Mayor Dave Coulter.
