Summary of Decision:
Stanton Development Corporation (the "Applicant") sought a permit for demolition of a townhouse located at 518 C Street, N.E., designated as a contributing structure in the Capitol Hill Historic District and situated in the C-2-A zoning district, in order to construct a four-story office building with a lobby and garage on the first floor and three floors of office space above. The Applicant claimed that the demolition was necessary to allow construction of a project of special merit, because the proposed new office building was more compatible with the character and scale of the neighborhood and "provides a social and community benefit by increasing the stock of office space in C-2-A zoned districts." Although the Mayor's Agent found that the proposed new construction did address a need for office space in the area, she found it unnecessary to rule on whether it constituted a project of special merit. Instead, she accepted the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Review Board ("HPRB") and held that issuance of the permit was consistent with the purposes of the Historic District Preservation Act of 1978 (the "Act").
The Mayor's Agent concluded that the proposed new construction was consistent with the purposes of the Act because it "is particularly compatible with the character of the historic district, firmly anchoring the northeast corner of Stanton Park and lifting the proposed structure to the scale and character of other buildings fronting the open park areas and boulevards." Acknowledging the concerns of Advisory Neighborhood Commission ("ANC") 6A and the Stanton Park Neighborhood Association that a demolition permit be tied to new construction, the Mayor's Agent approved issuance of the demolition permit subject to the conditions that 1) a new construction permit be issued simultaneously and the owner demonstrate the ability to complete the project, and 2) the Applicant provide photographic documentation and conduct archaeological investigations of the site, in consultation with the Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
Mayor's Agent – Procedural:
Necessary in the Public Interest:
The Mayor's Agent concluded "as a matter of law that the demolition of the building on this site as requested in the application is consistent with the purposes of the act …and is therefore necessary in the public interest."
Consistent with the Purposes of the Act:
The Mayor's Agent found that the proposed new construction was consistent with the purposes of the Act because "the existing structure in its present context…is diminished in its contribution to the historic district," and the proposed new construction "is particularly compatible with the character of the historic district." Furthermore, the Mayor's Agent found that the existing townhouse is undistinguished and does not possess the same scale and stature as the majority of buildings that define the perimeter of Stanton Park.
Editor's Note:
This is an older case and seems to present the rationale that the existing structure was "diminished" and "undistinguished". Yet the opinion does not mention whether it is a contributing building or not. If it is such, then demolition would hardly be "consistent with the purposes of the Act." This opinion is hard to align with later decisions of the Mayor's Agent.
Project of Special Merit – Social or other Benefits having a High Priority for Community Services:
The Applicant based its request for a demolition permit on a claim of "special merit," stating that the proposed office building would fulfill a community need for more office space. The Applicant claimed that there was a lack of zoned office space in the district, resulting in "widespread illegal use of residential property on Capitol Hill by businesses," and that pursuant to a new Civil Infractions law, such illegal use would be curtailed, resulting in an increased need for more office space. The Mayor's Agent found that "the proposed office building does address a documented need for an increased stock of legal office space in C-2-A zoned property in the Capitol Hill Historic District," but found it unnecessary to rule on whether the proposal constituted a "project of special merit," because she found that the project was consistent with the purposes of the Act.
Economic Feasibility:
The Mayor's Agent found that the Applicant fully considered alternative proposals before proposing demolition – including placing the core of the existing structure in other sections of the building in order to retain it – but found the alternatives economically infeasible. Placement of the core in other sections of the townhouse would result in the number of parking spaces falling below the zoning requirement for the proposed office site and the garage entrance being too close to a busy intersection.
The Mayor's Agent credited the expert testimony of project architect Amy Weinstein and found that "the proposed new construction is architecturally compatible with and designed to match the scale and character of the neighborhood without detracting from or overwhelming existing buildings." The proposed new office site, which received conceptual design approval from the HPRB, provides for a three-story red brick structure with a fourth story clad in charcoal gray slate.
Contributing Building:
The Mayor's Agent found that the existing structure is "diminished in its contribution to the historic district." The existing structure is a two-story brick townhouse, unattached on one side, and bordered on the other side by a commercial brick building already recommended by the HPRB for demolition. The existing townhouse is "undistinguished singly" and is also similar to 2,000 to 4,000 other townhouses in the Capitol Hill Historic District.

Confident Russell up for Aussie battle
CANBERRA, Australia, CMC – Exciting West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell is champing at the bit to face Australia, and says he is backing himself to execute against the former World champions.
Russell, along with the Darren Sammy-led West Indies side, arrived here Saturday (Friday afternoon, Eastern Caribbean time) following 28 hours of travel from the Caribbean.
West Indies will play the Aussies in five-match One-Day International series and a one-off Twenty20, beginning February 1 in Perth.
The last time Russell faced Australia in ODIs, he was on top of his game with bat and ball, helping the Windies to a 2-2 verdict in the five-match series in the Caribbean last year.
With the memories still fresh, the athletic Jamaica is hoping he can once again have a say in the outcome of the series.
"It boosts my confidence playing against top teams such as Australia. It boosts me as a player," Russell said on arrival here.
"I am looking forward to doing well again against Australia. I've gotten some good scores against them and put on a crucial partnership with Sammy but we couldn't get the job done they way we would've liked to get it done in that game.
"I've got a few four-wicket hauls against them so I'm looking forward to at least getting a five this time and boost my career a bit."
In that Caribbean outing, Russell came alive in the third game with the series locked at 1-1, punching a cameo 37 from 42 balls in a 64-run, seventh wicket stand with Carlton Baugh, as the contest ended in a dramatic tie.
His near run-a-ball 34 and two-wicket haul in the fourth game saw Windies to victory but his 33-ball 41 – in a century stand with Sammy – and four wickets were not enough to save the hosts from defeat in the final game.
Though it will be his first time playing in Australia, Russell said he expected conditions to be favourable.
"I'm looking forward to doing my best in Australia. [There will be] bouncy weeks and I hope it pleases the way I play in terms of bowling and batting so I am looking forward to a good series," said the 24-year-old, who bowls a brisk right-arm medium pace.
"Myself, (Dwayne) Bravo and (Kieron) Pollard we discussed the length that is good to bowl here in Australia and whenever you're batting you can be a lot more relaxed because the bounce is a lot more consistent in terms of the pitches."
West Indies will open the tour with a one-day encounter against a Prime Minister's XI on Tuesday, and Russell said doing well in that game would be important for West Indies as it would set the tone for the series.
"It is very important to get a good start and see what happens from there. It will be good to get rid of the jet lag as soon as possible," Russell pointed out.
"Getting a few wickets and making some runs, at least a half-century. That would be a good start for me on Australian soil."
Aussie Lynn upstages Munro as Amazon Warriors remain unbeaten
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Colin Munro smashed a sensational maiden Twenty20 hundred but it proved in vain as Guyana Amazon Warriors produced an audacious run chase to shock Trinbago Knight Riders by six wickets here Saturday night.

Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill opening 2nd location downtown
Miami River seafood staple expanding to the DoubleTree
With over 20 years in the fish biz, Miami River staple Casablanca Seafood Bar & Grill (and Fish Market) is making its way downtown and opening a second location, Casablanca on the Bay, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay. Slated to open early November, the new space overlooks the Sea Isle Marina and will stay true its sea-to-table concept, says a rep. Chef Joaquin Perea, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, who has previously spent time in the kitchens of the Fontainebleau, Versace and Doral Spa Resort, will serve up a menu reminiscent of the original location with the addition of several small plates, an extensive wine list as well as that requisite 'mixologist' to create "unique cocktails" to complement the menu.

"Nanotechnology can be a complicated topic." So reads the opening sentence on the homepage of UnderstandingNano.com, a website dedicated to making the concepts of nanotechnology accessible to students and the general public. A strength of the content of the site is that rather than focusing on abstract concepts, the emphasis is on applications of nanotechnology. The applications that are highlighted span a wide range of topics such as medicine, electronics, energy, chemical sensors, and defense. The site design, while nicely organized, is cluttered with advertisements, which detract from the educational content. However, if you can look past this annoyance, there is plenty of interesting information to be found on the site. Teachers will find a limited number of lesson plans and student handouts for the middle and high school levels, and there is also a resources page that provides links to a number of other nanotechnology-focused sites.

Keep pro-lifers away at any cost!
By Meredith Raney
Published April 19, 2000
MELBOURNE – The Brevard County Commission voted 4-1 (Helen Voltz dissenting) Tuesday night, April 18, 2000, to spend more of the taxpayers money to move a fence to keep pro-lifers away from the abortion clinic at Suntree Plaza. The official reason given was to reduce liability for the county. The actual reason was to keep pro-lifer counselors away from the abortion clinic. Sheriff Williams expressed no security concerns in his letter on the issue to Jack Parker, County Public Safety Officer, dated March 1, 2000. Letter is enclosed below.
In December of 1999, the county built a fence between the abortion clinic and Fire Station 80 next door at a cost of $4,000 to "protect the fire department" even though the fence is much closer to two sides of the abortion clinic than it is to the fire department. Click here for story. The county left a little notch in the fence to accommodate parking for about 8-10 cars next to the southeast corner of Suntree Plaza. This area is on fire department property and has been traditionally used for public parking for at least 6 years according to local residents.
The $4,000 fence was installed in such a way to preserve that traditional public parking area and still protect the fire department. All was well for about two months until two pro-life counselors parked in that area to provide love and help to those desperate enough to pay to have their own children killed at the abortion clinic. These counselors were singled out and threatened with arrest by the Sheriff's department for trespassing while several other cars were allowed to be there with no threat of arrest.
When challenged with the constitutional problem of excluding certain people from a public place while allowing other people there, the county decided to preclude everyone from being there by modifying the fence. This latest modification changes nothing regarding protection of the fire department, it was only done as a result of pro-lifers being in the area. Cheap yellow tape and "no parking" signs were not good enough, even though they had been working since mid-February. According to Jack Parker, Public Safety Officer, it will cost $390 more of the taxpayers' money to move the fence.
This money is being spent strictly to keep pro-lifers away. The general public had been using that area for at least 6 years with no problems, no complaints, and no liability concerns until pro-lifer counselors tried to use the area.
So much for an unbiased county commission.
Enclosure: Letter from Sheriff Williams (Emphasis added.)

RE: Fencing Around County Fire Property in Suntree
Dear Mr. Parker,
Based upon an inquiry by Brevard County Fire Rescue last year the opinion of the Office of the Sheriff was sought regarding a security fence. The security fence was suggested as the least restrictive means to separate protestors and county employees. Commander Crosby of the West Precinct at my direction was asked to provide you with a security assessment. Other members of the Sheriff's Office were consulted by Commander Crosby and that recommendation was made.
The recommendation was that if Brevard County Fire Rescue was concerned about the security of their employees and their facility a straight chain link fence would be most appropriate. The county chose to design a fence in a different configuration than was originally suggested. This action by those who configured the fence has created an ambiguity as to the use of the section commonly known as "the enclave". The property in contention is controlled solely by the Brevard County Commission and it's use and configuration to include fences and the like is in the sole discretion of the county.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

The Terrifying True Story of a British Girl Forced into the Sex Trade
Sophie Hayes
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
He'd been her friend for years. He said he loved her. Then she realised she didn't know him at all…
When everything seemed to be falling apart in Sophie's life, she was thankful for her friend Kas, who was always at the end of a phone, ready to listen and to offer comfort and advice.
Her father's cold dislike of her and then her parents' divorce had left her with a deep distrust of men. But, gradually, Kas made her believe there was at least one man who truly cared about her.
But she was wrong.
At first when Sophie went to stay for a few days with Kas in Italy, he was kind and caring, as he'd always been. But three days after she arrived, everything changed.
His eyes were cold as he described the things he expected her to do 'for love'. But soon Sophie's bewilderment turned to fear as he punched and shouted at her and threatened to kill her adored younger brothers if she didn't do exactly as she was told…to sell her body on the streets to pay off Kas's debts.
Terrified of Kas, the police and the men whose pleasures she was forced to satisfy, Sophie worked seven nights a week for the next six months on the dark and lonely streets of a town in northern Italy.
Subjected regularly to Kas's verbal, mental and physical abuse, she knew she would never escape.
And then, one day, after she'd been admitted to hospital with stomach pains – and knowing that Kas would kill her if he found out – she dared to phone her mother.
But who would reach her first?

How picky is the Xbox One's DLNA client, compared to (say) a living room PC?
I dunno how picky it is. We're a Windows household, so I turned on DLNA on the home PC and presto I was ready to go. Also works on my Sony Blu-ray and Sony TV.
