KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 2011 (Bernama) -- The government gained plenty of ground last year in its quest to reduce crime, thanks to the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) initiative, but more should be done to keep the momentum going, analysts said.
Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation (MCPF) vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said addressing drug problems among the society would be one of the measures the government could take.
Drug abuse, he said, was the root cause of many of the crime cases.
"When there are many drug addicts, there will be more crime incidents. I hope the government will take steps to tackle this problem," he said.
He also called for collaboration between the government and non-governmental organisations to promote crime prevention awareness among them.
"By doing this, the society will become more knowledgeable about how to protect themselves and increase their awareness about the need to be cautious at all times so as not to become victims," he told Bernama.
Police should also forge close relations with the society so that the people would be more forthcoming in reporting crimes and in becoming the eyes and ears of the authorities.
Crime analyst Kamal Affandi Hashim said the government should invest in providing better facilities to police personnel either in terms of logistics or welfare.
He also felt that the number of patrol cars at the moment were insufficient.
Street crime dipped drastically by 13,193 cases or 35 per cent from 38,090 cases in 2009 to 24,837 cases last year.
Index crime cases showed a 15 per cent drop, from 209,187 in 2009 to 177,520 last year.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the ministry had surpassed its target of reducing the index crime by five per cent and street crime by 20 per cent.
Brickfields Ex-Policemen Association president Raja Shah Aminuddin Raja Shahminan said police should carry out more daytime patrols especially in areas where there were no Rukun Tetangga (neighbourhood watch) scheme.
"Crime normally happens during daytime because people are out at work and there will be no one at home," he said.

By the way, the U.N. is also working on a small-arms treaty — which purports to fight terrorism, but if implemented, Second Amendment proponents like me believe that it will only enforce rougher licensing requirements, create more red tape, and possibly an international gun registry. As if terrorists give a flying crap about registering their gun or their machete before they kill you.
This will do nothing but make it harder for you to get a gun. Why would you get a gun? [Points to picture of President Obama and adviser Cass Sunstein.] To prepare for tough times. That's why.
Glenn Beck, upping the paranoia ante June 13 and, uh, appearing to encourage violence against the president. But metaphorically, of course.
Is he actually serious, or is this born of some adolescent desire to shock? At this point, Glenn, just GTFO.

These biscuits were definitely sweeter than other buttermilk biscuit recipes I've tried. They turned out pretty fluffy although not as fluffy as the picture suggests. Maybe need to roll dough thicker than 1/2 inch? Also, I had to bake them considerably longer than the suggested 15 mins before they were golden brown. I think I ended up around 25 mins.

Roster moves are still shaking up Chiefs Kingdom. While most of the big stuff is already done, there are still a couple of surprises. Nose tackle Jerrel Powe (not to be confused with 2012 first round draft pick Dontari Poe) was just waived by the Chiefs. This from Adam Caplan's Twitter:
Chiefs waived NT Jerrell Powe.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 1, 2013
This one surprises me a little as he initially received praise from defensive coordinator Bob Sutton and head coach Andy Reid. They even went so far as to refer to him and Dontari Poe as the "Po(w)e Brothers."
The big cut that came late this afternoon, was early fan favorite safety Bradley McDougald.
Chiefs waived S Bradley McDougald.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 1, 2013
This is just more of Dorsey moving around the bottom of the roster.
The Chiefs also added a couple of new names during this afternoon's activities.
Chiefs claimed LB Dezman Moses off waivers from the Packers.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 1, 2013
I'm sure this guy was on Dorsey's radar before the final preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The Chiefs also claimed a couple of former Seattle Seahawks and a former Cleveland Browns as well.
Chiefs claimed TE Sean McGrath (Seattle), DT Jaye Howard (Seattle), LB James-Michael Johnson (Cleveland) — Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) September 1, 2013
Finally, we learned that injured Chiefs tight end, Tony Moeaki, will remain a Kansas City Chief, of sorts for the time being. Because he is injured, and then waived, and not claimed on waivers, he goes on the injured reserve list.
TE Tony Moeaki is now on IR. — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 1, 2013
This is ironic because it's what I thought the Chiefs should have done with him in the first place, but what do I know?
There it is, Addicts. Your afternoon roster movement. Whether you like it or hate it, we'd like to know what you think in the comments below. Thanks for reading and Go Chiefs!

In response to President Barack Obama's proposals for increasing the United States' energy security, such as the Better Buildings Initiative announced in February, the AIA has reiterated its top five energy conservation legislative priorities. "Architects make design decisions every day that have significant impact on the energy that buildings use both during their construction and throughout their life cycles," says AIA 2011 president Clark Manus, FAIA. "Architects also have a major impact on whether communities are designed in a sustainable fashion.
"How buildings are designed plays a great role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, so we're gratified to see the President taking the opportunity again to push his 'Better Buildings Initiative' to make commercial facilities 20 percent more efficient by 2020," Manus says. "Energy conservation in buildings, which account for 70 percent of the electricity the U.S. consumes, is the hallmark of the AIA's legislative push in the 112th Congress."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Cold Agglutinins
There is very little chance of a problem from having blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
A cold agglutinins blood test is done to check for conditions that cause the body to make certain antibodies called cold agglutinins. The results of the cold agglutinins test is usually reported in titers.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
|Normal titer
Less than 1 to 16 (1:16) at 4°C
High values
- High titers of cold agglutinins may be caused by infections, such as pneumonia caused by mycoplasma, mononucleosis, hepatitis C, or other viral infections.
- High titers of cold agglutinins can cause symptoms when a person is exposed to cold temperatures. These symptoms can include numbness, burning, pain, or pale skin of the fingertips, toes, ears, or nose. Very high titers can mean you have a higher chance of developing blood clots (thromboses) when exposed to cold temperatures.
What Affects the Test
You may not be able to have this test or the results may not be helpful if you are taking antibiotics, especially penicillin and cephalosporins.
What To Think About
- More than half of people infected with pneumonia caused by mycoplasma develop high levels of cold agglutinins. Newer tests for mycoplasma pneumonia have replaced the cold agglutinins blood test.
- If clumped red blood cells (called a Rouleaux formation) are seen on a complete blood count (CBC) test, your doctor may order a cold agglutinins test to see whether high cold agglutinin levels are present.
- A blood type test is done before a blood transfusion or organ transplant to make sure that the donor's and recipient's blood types match. Blood that has high levels of cold agglutinins may be hard to type. For more information about blood typing, see the topic Blood Type Test.
- If a person has high levels of cold agglutinins and has symptoms brought on by cold temperatures, it is important for this person to be kept warm. High levels of cold agglutinins in this case could lead to frostbite, anemia, or Raynaud's phenomenon. Medicines to help lower high levels of cold agglutinins may be given when severe symptoms are brought on by cold exposure.
- Older adults may have high titers of cold agglutinins that last for years.
- Cold agglutinins in the blood can cause problems with automated machines that measure blood count.

Georgian luger dies in Olympic training crash
WHISTLER, B.C. - Higher. Faster. Stronger. And for Nodar Kumaritashvili, deadly.
Nodar Kumaritashvili of Georgia is seen just before crashing during a training run for the men's singles luge at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia, Friday, Feb. 12, 2010. (AP Photo/Ricardo Mazalan)
WHISTLER, B.C. - Higher. Faster. Stronger. And for Nodar Kumaritashvili, deadly.
The 2010 Winter Olympics opened on a tragic note Friday with the death of the Georgian luger in a horrific training run crash.
The first Olympian to die at the Games since 1992, the 21-year-old lost control of his sled on the final turn at the Whistler Sliding Centre, went over the track wall and rocketed into a support pole near the finish line. Despite the frantic efforts of medical help on site, he subsequently died in hospital.
The horrific crash cast a pall over the Games' opening ceremonies in Vancouver and dampened spirits in rain-sodden Whistler.
It also raised questions about the safety of an unforgiving track that has been described as the fastest in the world — and whose proclivities were eerily foreshadowed on the eve of Kumaritashvili's death.
"I think they are pushing it a little too much," Australia's Hannah Campbell-Pegg said Thursday night after she nearly lost control in training. "To what extent are we just little lemmings that they just throw down a track and we're crash-test dummies? I mean, this is our lives."
The investigation into the death is being conducted by the RCMP and the Coroners Service of British Columbia, who issued a joint statement later Friday saying they had completed their work at the site. But the track was to remain closed until luge's world governing body had ensured it was safe to reopen.
"It is unknown at this time how long the run will be shut down," the RCMP and Coroners Service said in a joint statement.
The women's lugers are scheduled to train at the track Saturday morning, nine hours before the men's two-day competition is set to begin.
Flags will fly at half-mast at Games venues Saturday and for the entire Olympics at the Sliding Centre.
A shaken Jacques Rogge, the president of the International Olympic Committee, said Friday was a time for mourning, not looking for causes of the crash. That will come later, when an investigation is complete.
"Sorry, it's a bit difficult to remain composed. This is a very sad day," he told a packed news conference in Vancouver, pausing to take off his glasses and control his emotions. "The IOC's in deep mourning."
Georgian Sport Minister Nikolos Rurua said Kumaritashvili's teammates will persevere, noting his country was invaded by Russia during the 2008 Beijing Games and yet the athletes continued to perform.
"So our sportsmen and our athletes decided to be loyal to the spirit of Olympic Games and they will compete and dedicate their performance to their fallen comrade," said the tearful minister.
"We are heartbroken beyond words to be sitting here," said VANOC CEO John Furlong, also struggling to hold back his emotions.
With the fastest lugers hitting speeds in excess of 150 km/h, the crash prompted immediate questions about safety on the Whistler course.
Rurua was also asked whether the Georgians had been given enough training runs on the track, given Canada's hardball stance about limiting foreign access to the facilities in the run-up to the Games. The Georgian acknowledged there will be "speculation whether there was sufficient practice time."
Kumaritashvili was coming around the final 270-degree turn on the stomach-churning course when he flipped off his sled and was hurled like a missile into one of the thick metal pillars. The stanchions support the canopy around parts of the course that helps keep the sun off and the track cool.
The slider, a blur in his black-and-blue racing suit and white helmet went high in the corner, banking left. His sled swooped out from under him, hit the inside wall and the Georgian flew through the air, turning backwards as he launched into the square pillar on the outside of the track.
There was a collective gasp on the finish dock from officials and athletes as the crash was beamed on the large-screen TVs.
The screens were immediately turned off as crews raced down the track to the stricken racer.
The graphic footage was shown on host broadcaster CTV, although it said it was doing so "with discretion" and with a warning to viewers. On some occasions, it stopped short of showing the final impact.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who will be in Whistler on Saturday for the start of the downhill events, issued a statement saying "all Canadians were deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death . . . . His competitive spirit and dedication to sports excellence will be remembered and honoured during the Games."
In Whistler, a rowdy ski town where a significant proportion of the young population appears in arm slings or on crutches due to the mountain's furious appetite, the death took its toll.
Michelle Ostafew, an Olympic volunteer from Vernon, B.C., said the crash has deeply affected locals whose opinion of having the Games plopped in their laps has steadily evolved.
"Before this, everybody was a little angry about the Olympics, and when it started happening people started being excited about it, and I think this will affect people," said Ostafew. "I know I have a girlfriend that was affected very personally and she was like, 'I don't even know the guy.'
"It will certainly create more respect for the sport. You realize how serious it is."
Luge is considered the most dangerous of the sliding sports. Lying on their back on a spartan sled, athletes rocket down a twisting course like a cylinder in a pneumatic tube. There is little margin for error.
The Whistler track, designed with the guidance of Canadian officials and representatives from the international sliding sports organizations, was not intentionally designed to be the fastest ever, but was built to challenge the sliders, said Craig Lehto, the general manager of the centre, in a recent interview.
For some athletes, it's too fast.
Kumaritashvili, a relatively inexperienced luger, had competed in five World Cup races this season, finishing 44th in the world standings.
He had already crashed once earlier during training for the Vancouver Games, and he failed to finish his second of six practice runs.
More than a dozen athletes have crashed during Olympic training.
Defending Olympic champion Armin Zoeggeler of Italy lost control on the lower part of the track Friday. He didn't appear to be injured. On Thursday, Romania's Violeta Stramaturaru crashed and had to be airlifted out.
After Friday's training was cancelled, members of the International Luge Federation and individual team captains were called for a briefing.
"This is a terrible accident," said Josef Fendt, president of the International Luge Federation. "This is the very gravest thing that can happen in sport, and our thoughts and those of the luge family, are naturally with those touched by this event."
Added B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell: "The loss of a gifted, talented young athlete training for the opening of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games is heartbreaking for people around the globe. We all want to see athletes compete hard and succeed in their chosen sports, but at the same time our paramount concern is always for their safety and health."
Medics were seen performing mouth-to-mouth on the Georgian, his helmet still on, face up on the cement beside the track and an ambulance. Track officials then ordered all bystanders away.
Video of the crash was soon posted on YouTube — and pulled down for TV rights violation.
CTV and its sister stations initially aired the footage of the crash "with discretion," then stopped altogether.
The Whistler track is used by sliders in all three of the Olympic sliding sports. Bobsledders, skeleton racers and men's singles luge sliders all start from the top. Female luge sliders and the men's doubles start 252 metres lower down the course.
Luge is a century-old sport, originating in Europe, and became an official Olympic sport in 1964. The sliders push off from the start handles at the top, paddle on the ice with spiked gloves to pick up speed, then lie on their backs, guiding the sleds with their legs and shoulders, keeping their heads slightly tilted up to see where they're going.
The top speeds from male lugers reach 150 km/h and higher, the fastest among the sliders and equivalent in speed only to the massive four-man bobsleds. But unlike bobsledders, lugers are precariously exposed. The only protection is a helmet and light padding under skin-tight speedsuits. With their arms tightly tucked in at their sides they cannot brace easily for impact when the sled goes out from under them, as happened with Kumaritashvili.
Kumaritashvili's death was an eerie echo of an event that marred his sport's introduction to the Olympic Games at the Innsbruck Olympics in 1964.
There had been opposition to including luge in the Games, with some arguing it put participants in too much danger. Their point was proved two weeks before the Games began when a British luger — Polish-born Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski — died in a crash during a practice run on the Olympic track.
Kay-Skrzypeski was not the only athlete to die in the lead-up to the 1964 Olympics. Ross Milne, 19, an Australian downhill skier, was killed after careering off the course and smashing into a tree during a training run.
In the 1992 Albertville Games, Swiss speed skier Nicholas Bochatay died in training for the demonstration sport.
The Albertville fatality echoed a tragedy which occurred at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. The chief doctor of the Austrian team, Jorg Oberhammer, was killed during a break in competition when he collided with another skier and was knocked into the path of a snow-clearing machine.

Spa-goers shower before climbing into an i-sopod float tank, the filtered water of which is combined with 1,200 pounds of Epsom salts to enhance buoyancy. The water creates a feeling of zero gravity to relieve the pressure on strained muscles and weary joints, while the salts encourage the healing of superficial scrapes and the slow transformation into a mer-mayor. After the pod lid is closed all the way or left partially open, quiet, ambient music lulls customers into tranquility for the first 10 minutes of the treatment. The music returns five minutes before the end of the session to signal bodies to awaken for the posttreatment shower and an optional tap-dance number."

Roof Gardens in Rome

Uplifting urban view from the meadow on the roof top of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Chicago.
My favourite green roof: J.Paul Getty Museum, LA.
Brilliant use of roof top space in Beijing and Hong Kong. Urban farming on roof tops is not a new thing anymore, but the enthusiasm of these two is infectious.
"Water on the Hillside
A long, narrow piece of property is usually difficult to build upon. And erecting a residence on this small, sloped site on the edge of Vienna became even more of a challenge because a steep, wooded berm separated the building footprint from the road. The point of access to the site is thirteen meters above the ground floor level. Now a wooden bridge – which passes through a jungle of treetops– arrives at the building's uppermost floor.
Along the west side of the house a stream burbles down the hillside, fed by an old fountain. Starting from the basin at this spring, the water proceeds to a pond, where it overflows. It continues via a waterfall and channels to a cistern at the garden's lower edge. The pond is contained in a gently curved, oversized basin of reinforced concrete; the portion jutting out from the hillside creates a covered space beneath.
During the summer months the garden metamorphoses into a bathing paradise for children, replete with a sand beach along the stream. The sounds of flowing water drown out the noise emanating from the city and the nearby railroad tracks. Just above the pond there is a lawn with campfire, in the lowermost corner a terraced fruit and vegetable garden."

This is the rooftop vegetable garden at the Gary Comer Youth Center in Chicago's south side designed by Hoerr Schaudt landscape architects. It is part of a network of gardens run by the centre that they use as an outdoor laboratory 'bridging classroom learning with real world applications'. They also run a catering program 'Seed to table' using produce from the garden. The centre offers extra curricular support and a safe and positive environment for children who most need it.
It's so great to see real commitment and money behind a project like this, with outdoor learning at it's heart. Too many school and community gardens are an afterthought and have to make do with scraps of left over funding. This often leads to an understandably shabby aesthetic to the gardens, with few 'cues to care', that can't inspire or engage it's potential users. The high-end design of this rooftop garden shows everybody that this garden is important.

tachismSyllabification: tach·ism
Pronunciation: /ˈtaˌSHizəm /
(also tachisme)
A style of painting adopted by some French artists from the 1940s, involving the use of dabs or splotches of color, similar in aims to abstract expressionism.
More example sentences
- This approach has its origins in tachisme and the whole 'objectless' art of the post-war period, a tradition to which Nitsch has always been committed.
- While in Paris during the early nineteen-fifties, McEwen encountered Abstract Expressionism, which introduced him to tachisme and colour-field painting.
- Have a look at works of leading contemporary artists in the areas of constructivism, tachism and lyrical abstractivism in Amsterdam.

Democracy will not come

To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I'm dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread.

The two-body elastic scattering data and the binding energy of the deuteron do not uniquely determine the nucleon-nucleon interaction. Many potentials, which fit these data, may give different results in many-body problems due to their different off-energy-shell behaviour. It is also expected that the nucleon-nucleon interaction would be nonlocal at short relative distances and local at comparatively larger (r ≥ 2 Fm) distances. Thus it is of interest to construct and study partly nonlocal potentials.
We have generalized the Jost-Pais theorem for nonlocal central and noncentral potentials. A method, based on the formalism of Fuda, has been developed to construct partly nonlocal central phase equivalent potentials. These potentials, constructed in the S-state, have an attractive local part, superimposed with a short range repulsive rank-one separable potential. We study the behaviour of such partly nonlocal potentials in nuclear matter, with a view to examine if these differ significantly from corresponding phase equivalent separable potentials.
We have also studied the dependence of the threshold cross section for the reaction p+p → π⁺+d on the nature of the deuteron wave function. Phase equivalent potentials with varying D-state probability of the deuteron have been generated using unitary transformations on the two-body Hamiltonian which includes a local or separable potential. It has been shown that the cross section depends sensitively not only on the D-state probability of the deuteron but also on the form of the wave function at short relative distances, and hence to the off-shell behaviour and the nonlocality of the interaction.

- An Unexpected Break
- The First Glimpse
- The Cell
- Back to the Elevator
- Failed Message
It was almost shift end, and Tim Stokes was getting tired. After a long day of inspections and maintenance on the generator, he couldn't wait to get home. Maybe later he'd go to the bar with the guys, but he would definitely have a nap first. Only two more inspection points left, then Tim could get back to his desk. He ducked between two pipes to get to the next point, and came face-to-face with the realization that one of them was moving.
The first shock that Tim got was how little pain there was. He could look down and see that the two pipes were touching, with his leg in between, but the feeling was distant, as if it was someone else experiencing it. He heard a scream without realizing that it came from his own throat. Darkness started to encroach on the edges of his vision.
Without noticing the transition, Tim found himself lying down on the catwalk. All around him, machinery continued to hum, hiss, and buzz as though nothing had happened. A face appeared in his vision, and it took him a moment to recognize James Spice, the shift medic.
"Tim, do you know what happened?" asked James. Tim opened his mouth to speak, but the words came out in a jumbled mess, unrecognizable even to him; James wouldn't have a chance of understanding him.
James looked up at an unseen helper. "We'll have to get him onto the stretcher. We have a clear path to the elevator that way," he gestured. "Get ready to lift on three. Ready? One…two…three."
This time, Tim felt the pain, all along his leg and up into his body. Fortunately for him, he didn't feel it for long before he found himself in a bed. Obviously he had been transported while he was unconscious, even though he didn't remember passing out.
"I see you've returned to consciousness," he heard a female voice. He tried to turn to see the source of the voice, but he couldn't move far enough. A feeling of pressure on his leg made him look down, but all he saw were the blankets covering him. He couldn't tell what was under the blanket; he was afraid to find out.
"Wait a second, I'll move to where you can see me." She followed her promise, and he saw a short woman wearing a lab coat. "I'm Dr. Armstrong. You're lucky that Mr. Spice was on site. I think that his quick response may have saved your leg."
Tim looked up at her, then down at his leg. He still couldn't feel it; maybe this was a good thing.
Dr. Armstrong followed his gaze. "Don't worry, it's still attached. You'll be a while recovering, and the pain will be intense once the anaesthetics wear off, but you'll be able to walk again."

But Atyy, you have not offered any evidence of a landscape problem! Your paper shows Percacci immediately applying a readily available selection principle to narrow down the (comparatively modest) range of possibilities.
He may have used the word "bewildering" at the start of the paper to highlight the challenge he is undertaking, but he does not act in any way bewildered. Nor does he desperately invoke "anthropics" as Susskind did for string in 2003.
He forges right ahead
and applies the Wetterich method of "effective average action" ---

in the quote below.
At least wait until the AsymSafe people cry "Help!" before you conclude they are in trouble.
Or until you see them thrashing aimlessly around.
I didn't say AS was in trouble. But I do imply that similarly, string theory is not in trouble.

For Immediate Release:Office of the PresidentLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Metro Council President Tom Owen (D-8) is announcing a major effort will soon get underway to bring a section of Historic City Hall back to life. The project will restore the main entrance to the building from Sixth Street.
"Over the years, budget concerns and security issues closed the main entrance to this wonderful historic building," said Owen. "As we see sidewalks being rebuilt and major construction and restorations along many of our main city streets, it is time to restore a city government building that has served the public well."
In a few days, crews will begin work to restore the steps and main area of the entrance. The work will include wood replacement and refurbishment, plaster repair and painting. It is expected that the work will take approximately three to four weeks.
"When the work is completed, we are reviewing plans and will work with the administration to once again make the main entrance available to the public for easy access to the Metro Government's legislative body," says Owen. "We are working on plans to again, utilize a central location for the public with appropriate signage for those who have business with the Metro Council."
Due to the restoration effort, the public must enter the building on the Congress Alley side of the building including nights of Metro Council meetings.
For more information, contact President Owen's office at 574-1108.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT)- Construction on Matthews, also known as
the "Medical Mile", has people worried about even narrower roads due
to a new walking trail along side it.
Mayor Harold Perrin said the project began
after the community showed interest in building a trail. Construction began
after the city received grant money to fund the project.
"Basically the walk ability, the bike trail
and jogging was something that people really wanted," Perrin said.
However, not everyone is happy with the new
trail. Parts of Matthew Avenue will become narrower to accommodate it.
"We've had complaints but we've had more good
reactions than we've had complaints," said Director or Parks and Recreation
Wixson Huffstetler. "With any project you do you're going to have complaints,
but we just try to explain to citizens what we're doing and why we're doing it."
Although, the trail runs in front of St.
Bernards, Mayor Perrin said they made sure to avoid safety hazards.
"We made the decision to go to Matthews
because most of our emergency vehicles use Washington," said Perrin. "Our local
ambulance services will go down Washington and take a left into the ER."
Narrowing the road still seems to be
unsettling for some, but officials have made sure drivers do have room to
"Our engineers were very careful that it
wasn't too tight," said Perrin. "Once they re-stripe it I don't think you'll
have a problem at all."
Huffstetler said he anticipates narrowing the
road will help make that area safer.
"The thing about this coming through the city
is it's going to so slow traffic down because we are narrowing the lanes," said
Huffstetler. "Drivers are driving way too fast for it to be a medical
Mayor Perrin said they plan to use leftover
grant money to hopefully make a trail around Craighead Forest Lake for both
jogger and cyclists.

Mercedes-Benz has killed its SLS AMG and created the SLS AMG GT to take its place. They've just released info on its 2012 SLS AMG GT model and how they plan to offer both a coupe and roadster version that will go on sales in mid-November of this year.
The new model will feature the same 6.2-liter V8 from the current SLS model, but they've added 20 hp more, so its output is now 583 versus the 563 of the outgoing model. Its new 0-60 mph time is 3.6 seconds (versus the before 3.7 seconds). The top speed is still electronically limited to 197 mph as the current model. Other than its powertrain, Mercedes has also given the new GT model a reworked its adaptive performance suspension, riding on stiffer springs and dampers that have been more aggressively tuned. It still sits on 19-inch alloy wheels up front, wrapped in sticky 265/35-series rubber, while 20-inch rollers are found at the rear, wearing even stickier 295/30-series tires.
The interior has been modified with the introduction of a new Designo style package that's optional and comes in three different color combos in both single- and two-tone finishes. It also features only the finest leather surfaces with contrast stitching and a diamond quilt pattern on the seats and doors. Other optional additions include: carbon fiber parts for both the interior and exterior, carbon ceramic brakes, a Bang & Olufsen sound system and different wheel options.
