Kevin Garnett is leaving Minnesota after the Boston Celtics agreed to acquire the All-Star forward in a multiplayer trade with the Timberwolves, a Celtics official told The Associated Press. Among the players who could be headed to Minnesota are forward Al Jefferson, guard Sebastian Telfair, swingman Gerald Green and center Theo Ratliff, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been completed. The official also said the Timberwolves would get at least one draft choice.
The teams still had some things to clarify with the players' contracts, but the official said that would not keep the Celtics from acquiring Garnett, although there could be a change in the players ticketed for the Timberwolves. There was a chance that a conference call announcing the trade — the possibility of which was first reported by FOXSports.com's Jeff Goodman late Sunday — would be held Monday, the official said. Garnett, 31, has spent all of his 12 NBA seasons with Minnesota. He would get an extension of his contract, which has one year plus an option year remaining, the official said. The Celtics had tried to get Garnett late last month, but his agent said he didn't want to go to Boston.
Since then, Boston acquired seven-time All-Star guard Ray Allen from Seattle in a draft day deal. Already with Paul Pierce, the Celtics would become instant contenders in the mediocre Atlantic Division with Garnett, even without promising forward Jefferson.
The Celtics obtained Allen and the 35th pick of the draft for guards Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak, and forward Jeff Green of Georgetown, whom they drafted with the fifth pick. The Celtics have won just three playoff series during Pierce's nine years with them. They still have an NBA-record 16 championships, but none since 1986. "They have no excuses, this team out there," Danny Ainge, the executive director of basketball operations, said after Allen was acquired. Pierce, 29, led the Celtics in scoring last season but played only 47 games because of injury. Allen, who turns 32 next month, averaged a career-high 26.4 points last season, his 11th, but underwent surgery to remove bone spurs on both ankles that required him to wear protective boots. He is expected to be ready for training camp.
Tailback Adrian Peterson ended his two-day absence from the Minnesota Vikings' training camp on Sunday afternoon, reaching agreement on a five-year contract with a maximum value of $40.5 million and including $17 million in guarantees.
Expected to share the load in the Minnesota backfield, where he will split time with veteran Chester Taylor, who rushed for 1,214 yards in 2006, Peterson was the seventh overall player selected in the draft. While there were some concerns about his durability, and specifically about a fractured left collarbone that sidelined him for seven games last season, the Vikings felt he was too good to pass on. Minnesota did extensive background work on Peterson's collarbone injury and determined that he would be able to rehabilitate without surgery, which turned out to be the case. The gamble on Peterson, one of the most celebrated high school backs in the past decade when he decided to enroll at Oklahoma, could pay off handsomely for coach Brad Childress. With a first-year starter at quarterback, in Tarvaris Jackson, the Vikings are likely to rely heavily on the run in 2007, and the combination of Taylor and Peterson should provide them a very solid tandem. Peterson, 22, carried 747 times for 4,045 yards and 41 touchdowns for the Sooners, and had 24 catches for 198 yards and one score. He rushed for 1,000 or more yards in each of his three college seasons, but his best performance came as a freshman in 2004, when he had 1,925 yards despite starting only eight games. Blessed with a thick upper body, Peterson possesses a rare combination of size (6-feet-1½, 217 pounds), speed and strength. He was clocked at a blistering 4.40 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the combine, and showed superb athleticism with a 38½-inch vertical jump and a long jump of 10-feet, 3-inches. Most of the concerns about Peterson revolve around his upright running style, which means he absorbs a lot of hits, and could be susceptible to injury. In 2004, he suffered a left shoulder injury that subsequently required surgery the following spring. He had right thigh and ankle injuries which slowed him in 2005, then the fractured collarbone last season.
Singer and songwriter Angie Stone is preparing for the release of her first album for Stax Records, to be titled The Art Of Love And War. In gearing up to write, record, and promote the new title, Stone spent some time getting in shape. Last year her weight loss journey was featured on VH1's popular reality show Celebrity Fit Club.
During the show, Stone was recovering from severe heart problems, which sometimes impeded her progress. But asked recently about the experience, Stone said: "I decided for myself to do Celebrity Fit Club. It was a way of challenging me because any other time it was coming time to diet I would give myself an excuse not to do it. So I figured if I went on nationwide TV then I would have to do it. And you know obviously what came out of it is I lost a little bit of weight, I'm feeling a little better — a lot better about myself and I think I've been an inspiration to a lot of women who dared to go there."
The Art Of Love And War is due on October 16th. Stone's first single is "Baby" featuring Betty Wright.
Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott boosts her big-screen career this fall with a starring role in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married, also starring Janet Jackson, Richard T. Jones, Malik Yoba, and Michael Jai White. In addition, she will be releasing her long-awaited studio album follow-up to Words & Sounds Volume II: Beautifully Human.
In Why Did I Get Married, another adaptation of one of Perry's successful stage plays, Scott portrays an obese woman in an unhappy marriage. She wears a fat suit in the flick, and Perry says he was stunned by her performance. "It's like she's born to do this," Perry said in a statement. "Her acting is so natural, I was shocked. When this woman smiles, she lights up a room."
Why Did I Get Married, about a group of vacationing couples whose trip is marred by a flirtatious single female, opens in theaters October 16th.
Scott will also release her new studio album, titled The Real Thing, on September 18th. Her last release was the compilation Collaborations, a set of her duets with other artists.
Scott was also recently cast as the lead of The Number One Ladies Detective Agency, shooting in Botswana. According to SOHH.com, Scott's character of Precious Ramotswe opens an agency after the death of her father. With the help of her assistant, played by Anika Noni Rose, Ramotswe takes on a cheating husband, insurance fraud, witchcraft and a kidnapper. The film is due next year.
Eddie Murphy and girlfriend Tracey Edmonds got engaged on Wednesday, July 25th. OK! magazine first reported the news after spotting an engagement ring on Edmonds' finger at the premiere of Who's Your Caddy last week. A representative of Edmonds then confirmed for People magazine that, "Tracey and Eddie are both very much in love and are excited about spending the rest of their lives together." No date has been set for the nuptials.
Murphy began dating Edmonds in October of 2006 following a months-long relationship with Mel B. of the Spice Girls. Murphy left Mel in October prior to her announcement that she was pregnant. At first Murphy denied paternity, but a court- ordered DNA test conducted last month proved him to be the father.
Murphy was married to first wife Nicole Mitchell for 12 years. The two were divorced in 2006.
Tracey Edmonds was married to music producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds for 13 years. Their divorce was finalized last month.
Grammy winning singer Peabo Bryson has signed to Peak Records, the label co- founded by smooth jazz guitarist and producer Russ Freeman and artist manager Andi Howard. Bryson's debut release for the label, Missing You, is set for release on October 2nd. Missing You will be the veteran pop/R&B vocalist's first studio recording in eight years, and the 20th album of his career. Bryson's first single from the set is titled "Count On Me."
Anticipation is high for the next album from soul veteran Al Green, who has been collaborating with Philadelphia hip-hop crew the Roots and their producing member Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson.on an album of duets with contemporary singers. Green, whose 2006 album Everything's OK was the second to reunite him with his earlier hit making collaborator Willie Mitchell, is also excited about the upcoming project.
Green said that working with The Roots was refreshing, as they created new material quickly. He said: "We already wrote the songs, these first songs right out the — this is like fresh milk from the cow. We wrote songs right on the floor. And when you give these other young artists a shot at it it's interesting to see what art they make. And it's beautiful. "
Currently, the list of guest artists and songs for the new project have not been confirmed.
NFL player Michael Vick pleaded innocent in a Richmond court last Thursday (July 26th) to federal charges that he and three friends were operating an illegal dogfighting ring at his home in Virginia. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback was released without bond and is due back in court November 26th for trial.
While the player maintains that he is innocent of the charges, he and his co-defendants were forced to surrender his passport and warned not to use or sell drugs.
The federal charges also scared off two of Vick's corporate sponsors. Nike suspended its contract with the football player on Friday (July 27th) while Reebok, the official supplier of NFL uniforms, took the unprecedented step of pulling his Number 7 jersey from its retail outlets.
In addition, top trading card company Donruss announced it was pulling Vick's likeness from any new packs.
Vick has also been suspended from the Falcons' training camp while brass decide how to handle the situation.
Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has good news for fans — the show's upcoming fourth season will be devoid of the doom and gloom that pervaded the past season's storylines. Death and infidelity were big topics in Season Three, and those themes added to the backlash against the series from people already turned off by the program's behind-the- scenes drama with Isaiah Washington and T.R. Knight.
Rhimes acknowledged that Grey's "darker journey" was oftentimes testing for viewers, and she said in a press conference that the same won't happen in Season Four: "I think that the thing that I sort of came back to the season sort of mandating was that I wanted us to have a lot of fun. Like I felt like Season Three is a darker season, it just is. I mean, Meredith's mother died, George's father died, Meredith's step-mother died — it was like a bloodbath. It was a necessary one but I want to feel, I want to get back to us enjoying it and having fun."
Grey's Anatomy returns with new episodes September 27th.
Actor, singer, and funnyman Nick Cannon wants to get serious. Which is why he took a role in the big screen drama American Son, due in 2008. Cannon will play the lead in a story about a new recruit fresh from Camp Pendleton who faces a wide range of issues while on leave with his family over the Thanksgiving holiday.
"It's something that's extremely dramatic," Cannon told syndicated columnist Marilyn Beck. "It's about a young Marine and what he goes through during the 100 hours before his deployment. I was excited about doing something few people have seen me do."
Cannon went through boot camp to prepare for the role, but he said that wasn't the hardest part of making the film. "We actually shot this full scene with me naked. I didn't expect to have to do that. That was interesting. I mean, I had nothing on at all. But I'm kind of an exhibitionist anyway, so I kind of got over it," he explained.
Cannon is known for his comic turns on his production Wild N Out and Short Circuitz, as well as films like The Underclassmen and Roll Bounce. But he has also been branching into dramas, like his role in the ensemble drama Bobby.
Cannon also hosts Nick Cannon's Star Camp, a reality series about a youth group known as The Giggle Club who learn how to be stars. It streams every Sunday on Nickelodeon's broadband video player, TurboNick.

Apparently the congressional Democrats' much-touted plan to have the HHS Department negotiate prices for Medicare's prescription drug purchases is something of a scam. See Robert Reich and Brad DeLong. The problem is that these are negotiations without teeth. As Reich puts it "The Department of Veterans Affairs gets a 25 percent discount on drug prices for veterans because if a drug company won't give a big discount, Veterans Affairs won't include the drug in its plan." Medicare won't be authorized to drop a drug of the manufacturer won't offer a discount, so there's no reason for drug makers to offer any kind of meaningful discounts. One hopes this sham bill may be the start down a slippery slope to something more meaningful, but so far so bad.

I'm a photographer in Brooklyn.
When I'm not shooting I can be found watching old British sitcoms, exploring my city, swimming, & eating pizza.
This space is for sharing my favorite photos from my life & work, mixed in with a few things I find on the web that make me smile, laugh, cry...you get it.
The title of my blog comes from a photo I shot in Coney Island, seen here.
All photos are taken by me unless otherwise noted.
We didn't go here. Unfortunately? Fortunately? I don't know. I guess…fortunately.

Gun Appreciation Day organizers have removed a white nationalist group from its list of sponsors after a media report about the association.
Organizers of Gun Appreciation Day say they have disassociated themselves from one of their sponsors after a media organization reported that it was a white supremacist group.
Media Matters published a story about how the white nationalist group American Third Position (A3P) was sponsoring Gun Appreciation Day (GAD).
Event organizers removed A3P from its list of sponsors and released a statement about its decision. The statement said that while GAD attempted to screen out groups "that might detract from the message," they mistakenly missed one. "We have removed the group and reiterate this event is not about racial politics, it is about gun politics," it said.
GAD organizers have been encouraging gun owners and enthusiasts to show up at gun stores across the country on Saturday, two days before the presidential inauguration, to "protest the Obama administration's post-Sandy Hook assault on gun rights."
Gun Appreciation Day, "Chick Fil-a-Style"
Media Matters reported that GAD was partnering with A3P, a political group describing itself as representing "the unique political interests of white Americans."
Before GAD took them down, A3P was listed on its sponsors page along with its motto ("Liberty. Sovereignty. Identity"). A3P is also promoting GAD on its website, with a link to GunAppreciationDay.com. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists A3P as a white nationalist hate group.
GAD's full statement about its decision:
"The small hard working staff at Political Media, Inc has been working diligently throughout the Gun Appreciation Day Campaign. "The volume of support we have received has been overwhelming. We decided to have an open registration for sponsorship for Gun Appreciation Day put a screening process in place to avoid associating the event or Political Media, Inc. with groups or businesses that might detract from the message.
We mistakenly missed one.
We have removed the group and reiterate this event is not about racial politics, it is about gun politics. We believe in equal rights of ALL Americans in every race, gender, religion, location and economic class to keep and bear arms as guaranteed to them in the Bill of Rights."
GAD also wrote on its Facebook page: "Guys, the screening process of our sponsors was apparently not deep enough — We have corrected the problem, but you should know the left wing media called us out on it as they should have. We know better and I apologize for not catching this ... but we are forging ahead — This is about Gun Liberty for all."

If you plan to travel with your dogs, you should always brush them before putting them in the car. Brushing before you put your dogs in the car will minimize hair floating around the car while you are driving. Also, don't forget to pack all of your dog's supplies and some toys. Prior to visiting any country, research and understand the political and social issues going on in that country. It may be helpful to visit consular websites in order to get the latest news and tips regarding issues that may impact travel plans. Doing this will alert you to dangerous situations before you get caught up in them. Make sure that the packing list for your next trip include clothespins. Clothespins are not a typical travel item for many people, but should be reconsidered given their usefulness and versatility.
Rotate drivers often on long car trips. If you drive to the point of exhaustion, at best, your companion will have a lonely drive while you sleep. At worst, you will have a wreck! Do not continue driving when you get tired, just take a break! If possible, switch drivers every few hours. If you are the only driver, take frequent breaks. With this method you will avoid the tiredness and lack of attention that comes with long hours on the road.
If you wear them, have an extra pair of eyeglasses with you when you travel. If those items are accidentally broken or lost, at least you will have a backup. You may not want to keep them in your carry on bag, in case something happens to that bag while traveling. When you are going to another country, take bottled water with you. Many countries do not purify their drinking water and this water can cause many different illnesses. Even when you brush your teeth, do it with bottled water. You can get sick from the tap water this way, as well.
Create a list of the items you need to pack. Well in advance, you need to craft a clear list of everything that you are going to need. If you get in a rush and have to pack right before you leave, this list will ensure that you have everything that you need, and that you do not forget something.

Same here! When I go out to eat I sometimes order off the kids menu. People always look at me funny or they're like "You're almost 21 years old. Why are you ordering off the kids menu?"
I've been told this so many times. But don't you dare for a second believe this is true. I have loved, been loved and am in love. If you keep telling yourself you are flat chested stop. Now. Because in the end the only people who worry are the assholes. Unless you see yourself with an asshole then I assure you that you will find someone that deserves every bit of your love and your perfect body.
To those who have big boobs… You will find love to. Promise. Don't worry girls I wouldn't forget about you : )

Skinny Shaming
Ok, so i'm not trying to get you to pity me, but I felt the need to address this. I'm a size 0-2 (depends on the store), and I weigh less than 100 pounds. I eat what I want, exercise regularly, participate in PE, and my doctors say I am at a healthy weight for my height (i'm barely 5 feet). I constantly get called anorexic behind my back, when in reality I am very healthy. I eat veggies, fruit, protein, all that good stuff. But I also eat cakes, cookies, snickers, candies, ice cream, etc. And no, I do not throw it all up. It's just the way I am, I was born with this body type. But something I've been noticing on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and in real life, is that when people are trying to defend and comfort someone more curvy, often times we just insult people who are slim. Sometimes that evolves into stereotyping people who are slim to be anorexic, ugly, and just disgusting. Now, don't get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against people with curves. I think everyone is beautiful, but this just pisses me off so much. I mean, I'm starting to feel bad about being slim! What I want everyone reading this to remember is that
- not all slim people have an eating disorder
- never insult another group of people to defend another
- accept all body types
- there is such a thing as skinny shaming, and it needs to stop

Sims 4 body types
I love this. The latest game allows for more than one body type/shape and accepts that we all come in different shapes and sizes. It doesn't discriminate. I wish more people would think like this and that we create more role playing games that allow for such character options.

"You two have managed to accomplish something together no one ever has; you surprised me."
I've been fucking waiting for this photo set right here, and let me tell you why. Monsters University quickly became my favorite movie due to a single fact, that these two? They failed. They actually went to school and they failed, they didn't get brought back in, they didn't make a miraculous come back at the end, they fucking failed College.
But that didn't stop them. Through hard work, perseverance, and taking opportunities that came a long instead of just settling for where they were at, they were able so still make it to where they wanted to be.
That is super powerful, it gives you hope, knowing that college isn't the only way. Because you know what? It isn't, you don't have to go to college to get to where you want to be or to be happy. You just got to take chances, take opportunities, swallow that fear and do things to help change your life for the better. If you believe college is it? Fantastic! Go for it!
However, remember: Life is never over if you fail something. You just got to look for opportunities to bring yourself back up.

I put these together because I am sick of reading girls putting themselves down on tumblr because they don't look like any of these women. There are things called high end cosmetics and photoshop that make these women look perfect by hiding their blemishes and wrinkles. The truth is they can afford far better makeup than you. The stuff they use is almost magic. And we all know the things they can do with photographs these days. Strip all that away and they're just like you. You also have to figure how many of these women had cosmetic surgery. There is no so such thing as a perfect and flawless looking person.
You know what's worse about this though? We see these pictures under captions like 'SHOCKING pictures of celebrities without makeup', and 'Ten HORRIFYING photos of celebs'. And you know what that teaches us? That teaches us that a woman who isn't immaculately made up is something to be feared and reviled.
Frankly, I'm not sure which is more more worrying: the idea that we should all strive to achieve unattainable aesthetic perfection, or the idea that we are unacceptable in our natural state.
(And as an endnote, you can be sure as hell that nobody's kicking up this kind of fuss about male celebrities looking normal)
hey, now a lot of y'all can actually see what these women LOOK LIKE. and none of them are ugly or horrifying or shocking. remember folks, our society does not value the natural state of women and in fact actively goes against it and even vilifies it. whether it be makeup, body hair, weight, or any other altercation to the female form.

Corporate tax structure and production
AbstractThe authors provide an empirical framework for assessing the effects of tax policy on an array of producer decisions about output supplies and input demands in Mexico, Pakistan, and Turkey. They specify and estimate a dynamic production structure model with imperfect competition for selected industries in these countries. The model results suggest that tax policy affected production and investment and further that selective tax incentives such as investment tax credits, investment allowances, and accelerated capital consumption (depreciation) allowances are more cost effective at promoting investment than more general tax incentives such as corporate tax rate reductions. The long run cost effectiveness of these incentives - except corporate tax rate reductions, which proved cost ineffective in all cases - varies by country. In Turkey, investment allowances and capital consumption allowances were cost effective. In Mexico, neither investment tax credits nor accelerated capital consumption allowances were cost effective. In contrast, in Pakistan, both investment tax credits and accelerated capital consumption allowances were cost effective. In the intermediate run, defined as tax policy impact after one year, only the investment allowances and accelerated capital consumption allowances available to Turkish industries proved cost effective. To make selective tax incentives more effective, investmenttax credits must be refundable and carrying forward investment depreciation allowances must be permitted. If stimulating investment expenditure is the sole objective of tax policy, reducing the corporate tax rate is not a cost effective instrument to achieve this objective.

MADISON (AP) -- Minority Democrats have delayed a state Assembly vote on a Republican bill that would grant landlords more power over tenants.
Under the bill, if an evicted tenant leaves anything behind the landlord may dispose of it as he or she sees fit. Landlords also could immediately tow illegally parked vehicles and evict tenants if a crime occurs on the property, regardless of whether the tenant could have prevented it. They wouldn't be allowed to evict victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and stalking that takes place on the property, however.
Republicans pushed the bill Tuesday to the brink of a final reading, the last step before a vote. Democrats objected to the reading, however, delaying any further action on the measure until the Assembly convenes again in June.
MADISON (WKOW) – The state Assembly is set to pass a bill Tuesday afternoon that would allow landlords to throw out property that evicted tenants leave behind.
Approval of the bill would send the proposal to the state Senate.
Under the bill, if an evicted tenant leaves anything behind, the landlord may dispose of it in any way he or she sees fit. The measure would also eliminate provisions in current law that requires landlords to notify tenants they don't intend to store property left behind in evictions.
Opponents of the bill contend that the measure could set up violent confrontations between landlords and evicted tenants.

SAN DIEGO—January 31, 2013—Expanding on its growing line of grid modernization solutions to help global utilities solve real-world challenges, GE's (NYSE: GE) Digital Energy business has introduced its Grid IQ(TM) advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) solution, which provides secure, scalable, high-capacity and long-range wireless coverage of a utility's complete service territory and assets—rural, urban, suburban and underground.
The wide-range metering capabilities of the Grid IQ AMI P2MP solution enable a utility to capture meter data across expansive geographical territories—from urban to rural areas—with minimal network infrastructure. In rural Minnesota, East Central Energy (ECE) has launched a Grid IQ AMI P2MP pilot to assess the solution's ability to capture meter readings over ECE's 4,800 square miles of territory, requiring only 34 Grid IQ AMI P2MP access points.
"Without a long-range AMI solution like GE's Grid IQ P2MP, comparable levels of coverage could cost ECE millions of dollars in network infrastructure," said Linda LaTourelle, IT manager, East Central Energy. "The Grid IQ AMI P2MP solution, when fully deployed, would provide the coverage and metering capabilities necessary to maintain a reliable, efficient electrical grid for our members, while greatly reducing the time it takes to realize a return on our initial investment."
Built on On-Ramp Wireless Inc.'s next generation wireless technology, the Grid IQ AMI P2MP also can monitor multiple distribution-sensing applications, such as smart meters, transformers, fault circuit indicators and other grid assets, under one unified network, accelerating the utility return on investment. By gathering data from all of these devices, a utility can use its back-end applications to monitor and analyze the data to improve grid reliability and outage prevention, while reducing costs associated with installing additional infrastructure and performing routine maintenance on networks for multiple, different applications.
The Grid IQ P2MP AMI solution includes GE's Smart Metering Operations Suite (SMOS), a complete meter, data and transaction management system for smart metering operations. Designed to deliver industry leading scalability, performance, security and extensibility, SMOS collects data, which enables consumers to stay informed on how they are using energy, allowing them to make smarter future energy decisions. Insights into consumer energy usage provided by the software may encourage users to shift their time of high-energy usage to off-peak hours or to reduce the amount of energy they are using all together.
In addition, the system meets or exceeds all grid modernization communication requirements, including those recommended by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology. These requirements include specific security guarantees, reliable data delivery, redundancy, availability, remote upgradeability, logging, event alarms, a greater-than 20-year battery life for certain applications and complete network management capabilities.
Grid IQ AMI P2MP solution and SMOS are part of GE's comprehensive advanced metering infrastructure solution portfolio, which includes smart meters, communication solutions and software applications.
GE's Digital Energy business is a global leader in protection and control, communications, power sensing and power quality solutions.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH - It's been a long journey, but now visitors to two of the city's beachfront parks are finally seeing the results of years of "considerable debate and dialogue."
City Manager Pam Brangaccio said Friday's groundbreaking at Esther Street Beachfront Park and the ribbon-cutting for the completed Flagler Avenue Boardwalk Park has meant years of planning, consulting with residents and surveys.
"It's been on the burner for 10 years to bring it to a successful conclusion," she said about the Flagler Avenue park.
"We have 23,000 residents and 23,000 opinions" on how the improvements should be made.
Friday's event begins at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 3, at the Esther Street Park with a groundbreaking for parking for 45 vehicles, a playground, walking trails, pavilions, restroom facilities and a volleyball area. The sea wall reconstruction and dune walkover have already been completed so they wouldn't interfere with turtle nesting season.
The group will then move to the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk Park for a ribbon-cutting for the $1.3 million in improvements there.
At Esther Street, drainage improvements for the beachfront site will reduce flooding in the North Atlantic Avenue area and include milling and resurfacing of the roadway along North Atlantic Avenue from Flagler Avenue to Crawford Street.
A $250,000 stormwater grant has been received to alleviate the Esther Street flooding problem on North Atlantic Avenue.
"There's a wet/dry area at Esther Street Park that when dry, will be a volleyball court," Ms. Brangaccio said.
Sea walls at both parks were damaged in the hurricanes of 2004 and the storms of 2007. Although repairs were made, "they have never been reconstructed," said Ms. Brangaccio.
The projected cost of the final phases of construction is estimated at $1 million and is funded jointly by the county and the city of New Smyrna Beach through its Community Redevelopment Agency.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the city's general fund also are contributing to the overall cost of the project, said Tony Otte, the city's Community Redevelopment Agency director. The project should be completed in January.
The bulk of the cost is for stormwater improvements, the city manager said.
Her only regret, she said, is not being able to pave the parking area at the Flagler Avenue Park, but stormwater treatment needed there is so expensive.
Even with an unpaved lot, the Flagler Avenue park is very popular.
"There are wonderful people there every day. It is their beach," she said.
Now they have a new boardwalk, new restrooms in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, an open area with showers, steps to the beach and a large plaza with picnic tables.
A poll was taken in 2010 to determine how much of the Flagler Boardwalk structure to remove without eliminating too much of the old shade structure.
"That this project is completed is a miracle," said Ms. Brangaccio.
Some residents claimed the Boardwalk structure was historic, but "it was less than 20 years old."
"That was a huge point of community dialogue, discussion and angst," she said.
The city requested bids and sold the boardwalk's gazebo portion to the developers of the Hampton Inn on Flagler Avenue for $500. The proprietors plan to restore it and use it in the hotel's courtyard.
Esther Street Park was purchased about five years ago through a state land acquisition program, Ms. Brangaccio said.
The city recently awarded a bid for the restrooms, additional sidewalks, a playground and parking improvements.
There's always a need for more parking, both on the beachside and the mainland.
Ms. Brangaccio said the city is seeking residents for a task force to study parking on the beachside and in other areas of the city.
The deadline to submit applications to serve on the taskforce is Aug. 8. Information and applications are available from www.cityofnsb.com.

THE DANCES that contribute to the SPICE
Bharatanatyam: A classical Indian dance style, originally performed in the temples of Southern India. Balance, intricate footwork, eloquent arms and complete control of facial expression are the hallmarks of this dance. Like ballet, mastery takes years.
Bollywood: The dancing in Bollywood films is based on classical Indian dance and folk dances. In recent films, Indian dance elements often blend with Western dance styles.
Bhangra: Originally, a harvest-season folk dance from Northern India. It has become very popular with Indians of all classes at home and abroad; colorful costumes and an irresistible beat account for its popularity.
Dandiya: A joyful stick dance that has also become very popular with Indians at home and abroad.
Kathak: The footwork and rapid turning movements of this classical Indian dance have influenced Bollywood from the beginning.
TEACHERS and PERFORMERS in KENTUCKY
History and Context
BollywoodThe dancing in Bollywood films is primarily modeled on Indian dance: classical dance styles, dances of historic northern Indian courtesans (tawaif), or folk dances. In modern films, Indian dance elements often blend with Western dance styles, though it is not unusual to see Western pop and pure classical dance numbers side by side in the same film. -- www.BollywoodWorld.com
Bharata NatyamBharata Natyam reflects the culture of India at its best. The dancer uses the space as her own sacred temple and brings the audience into her magical circle as she performs and acts out stories with Gods and Goddesses from Indian mythology, folk tales and stories with emotional content. Being a living art form it has continued to enrichen itself changing with the times yet keeping its pristine beauty and nature intact. Linear geometrical patterns, a perfect balance of the body, eloquence of expression, and precision of footwork to intricate mathematical rhythms are the hallmarks of this dance. -- www.swatidance.org

"I have to carry these scars with me. I have to live with this for the rest of my life." –Elaine Riddick, who was forcibly sterilized under North Carolina's eugenics program in 1967
We've written before about North Carolina's particularly terrible forced sterilization law. One of 31 states with a government-run eugenics program, North Carolina is now the only one to be trying to compensate the survivors of this shameful chapter in their history:
It began as a way to control welfare spending on poor white women and men, but over time, North Carolina shifted focus, targeting more women and more blacks than whites. A third of the sterilizations performed in North Carolina were done on girls under the age of 18. Some were as young as nine years old.
For the past eight years, North Carolina lawmakers have been working to find a way to compensate those involuntarily sterilized in the state between 1929 and 1974. During that time period, 7,600 people were sterilized in North Carolina. Of those who were sterilized, 85 percent of the victims were female and 40 percent were non-white.
While officials think that as many as 2,000 are still alive, only 48 victims have been tracked down so far. And how much they'll be compensated remains to be seen. Some victims and advocates say that the state is procrastinating in compensating them, but Governor Beverly Perdue has said, "I want this solved on my watch."
Let's hope. For folks like Elaine Riddick–who was sterilized, without her knowledge let alone consent, after being raped at age 13–it's probably too little and too late. But at least it's something. She said, "I would like for the state of North Carolina to right what they wronged with me."

A 23-year-old Chesterfield County man is recovering in the hospital after his older brother shot him twice on Sunday afternoon.
Around 5:45 p.m. on May 18, Chesterfield County Police responded to the 7400 block of Hickory Road, east of Route 150/Chippenham Parkway and west of Route 147/North Huguenot Road, for a report of a shooting. They arrived on scene to find the victim with gunshot wounds to his face and neck; he was conscious and able to speak with police officers. He was transported to VCU Medical Center and is expected to survive his injuries.
The victim's 26-year-old brother surrendered and was taken into police custody, though no charges have been placed at this time. Police say the two brothers have had some recent problems that may have led to the shooting. A neighbor told officers told them they had heard the two fighting the night before.
The victim lives in a trailer home with is family on Hickory Road. His older brother told police he went to check on his younger brother and had brought a pistol for protection because of recent disputes between the two siblings. An altercation ensued and the older brother shot his younger brother once in the nose area of his face and once in the neck.
Neighbors across the street heard the shooting happen and saw the victim after he was shot.
"Was retrieved by the EMS, he seemed to be coherent, sitting up and they left with no hurry," said neighbor Charles Reynolds.
Police continue to investigate the shooting. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Solvers by calling 804-748-0660 or texting "WATSON" followed by the tip to 274637. A cash reward of up to $1,000 is available for tips that help law enforcement.

dpreview hands-on with Metabones Speed Booster (including resolution charts in the lab)
The Metabones Speed Booster creature got a detailed hands-on report at dpreview which includes pixel-peeping resolution charts tested out in the lab. Dpreview's testing involved the Sony NEX-6 and Canon EF lenses.
If you missed them, about 10 days ago, there were Metabones Speed Booster hands on reports at Lens Rentals and EOS HD.

His method on the one hand draws on the yearning for past experience, in homage to this particular time, and on the other hand emphases the artificial nature of memory and the way it glosses over details. Thus the work yields an interior portrait.

Are you focusing on the wrong A/B test?
Like it or not, A/B testing is time consuming.
You need to start with a hypothesis, design new pages, write conversion-friendly copy, run the test and analyze the results. All this may take anywhere between 1 to 30 days.
If you look closely, you'll find plenty of pages or sections that you can improve. And you can't test all of them right away.
So, how do you prioritize your A/B tests?
Deep inside, you already know which pages are most important. So you'll redesign and test those first. But I think that's not good enough. There's always an opportunity cost involved and you could be missing something more important!
So how do you prioritize? By using a simple metric I like to call
Return on Effort
And how do you calculate this?
Step 1 Make a list of the pages or sections you want to improve
Step 2 Estimate the Revenue Impact of improving each page. Here's one way:
- For each page or section define a realistic, achievable goal. This could be an X% increase in signups, revenues, pages/visit or any other metric that is most important for your business
- Attach a dollar-value to each of those metrics. For example, if you have 1 paying customer for every 25 signups and the average revenue per customer is $100, then the dollar value per signup is (100/25) = $4 per signup
- Based on your goals, estimate the potential revenue impact from improving each of those pages
Step 3 For each of your pages, estimate the time required to hypothesize, plan, design new pages and go live with an A/B test
Step 4 Divide the Potential Revenue Impact by 'Time Taken'. That's your RoE
Here's an example:
There you go, the pages with the highest RoE should be the ones that you must focus on right away. This entire exercise may take 1 or 2 hours but it will be time well spent. You can now focus on the pages or sections that truly matter!
How do you prioritize your A/B tests? I'd love to hear your views in the comments.

When modelling a robot (was thinking mostly lowpoly but highpoly some time in the future) Do I model everything in one pice (ie extrude everything from one box) or do I make it out of segments? legs chest head and stuff like that out of separate boxes?
Will be going for something like this

When modeling think of it more like creating something real. Nothing is made from one solid piece of plastic or metal. Its very important to create many pieces, and its even more important to make those seporate pieces show sometimes. You would have to be a super genious at topology to make it out of one solid mesh!
the legs and body could be 1 mesh, but some of the detail, you definately want to seperate them.
sketchbook <- help me improve!
I think it in general seperate parts is easiest for hard surface type stuff. Like someone said before, very rarely is any 3d model made from a single mesh. alot of concept sculpts are one mesh that would later be seperated out and modelled in segments later. but in the end it's what ever work best for the model and it's purpose.

Thank you so much for all the help everyone! I will start modelling it this weekend (if I get the time XD)I'll be asking more questions and showing progress as I move along.
If you are using max, you can:
Make the object once.
Clone it in the direction you want it to be, make a spline in the shape you want it to bend.
And use the World space Path Deform.

NORTON SHORES (WKZO) -- Court proceedings against accused murderer Anthony Casanova of Norton Shores have been suspended.
Casanova will undergo a mental examination as a suspect in the death of his two-month-old son. The goal of the tests will be to determine if he is mentally competent to aid in his own defense.
Casanova's attorney, Shawn Davis, requested the testing, after difficulties communicating with his client. Casanova reportedly confessed to investigators that he violently shook the infant, threw him down on a bed, and bear hugged him twice until he stopped breathing.
Casanova has a history of mental health issues.

I would recommend using backuppc to take backups using rsync at the end of every day. I guess it would depend on how much data is generated per day though.
just finishing off the new mac installs now and i have things working like i want im just a bit at a loss on how to backup users data on the macs
the set up is
Logon using students login
they get a local machine home folder
and they get a link to the users windows network share available from the dock
should i get the users to copy what they need onto the windows network share
or can i automate the process of backing up the data to say the mac server or portable drive
the potential of data loss is quite high due to our little darlings being yobs
any ideas welcome
I would recommend using backuppc to take backups using rsync at the end of every day. I guess it would depend on how much data is generated per day though.
round2it (28th July 2011)
Looks like its going to take a while to get this up and running anyone else got any software they use
Are you using Open Directory on the Mac Server? You could set it up so the Mac clients use mobile accounts which synchronise with the Server on logon & logoff and possibly in the background as well.
Otherwise I would recommend setting setting up rsnapshot backup on a linux server to backup the clients.
yes we are using open directory
on logon and logoff would that slow things down to a crawl?
Possibly, depending on the amount of data. What are the macs being used for? if you're using 10.5 or later, you could use time machine to backup to an external disk or nas box.
more than likely just video editing and graphics
We use mobile accounts as suggested above, as we used to have a synchronisation script that copied users' data at login/out, but that did slow logins/outs to a crawl. If a user stays on the same machine, mobile accounts only needs to sync what's changed - like Offline Files on Windows machines - with the benefit they can background sync too (at an interval you can control).
Now, the only time our kids have to wait while their 10-20GB of data is copied is if they use a different machine mid-term, while their friends who use the same machine each lesson are logged in and working within 30 seconds.
i think i will tell them to copy important data over to the windows share this gets backed up each night
