The Pomonok buildings were erected on the grounds that used to be the Pomonok Country Golf Club, lying between Flushing and Jamaica. These buildings were part of the City's tax free apartment development . The first 22 tenants were veterans who lived in barrack-like temporary veterans houses in Juniper Valley, Rego Park and Northern Boulevard, Queens. They moved into the two three-story walk-up apartments at 69-21 and 69-29 Kissena Boulevard with their families between September 17 and 18 1951. Later on, 13 more three-story walk-ups and 22 seven-story elevator apartment houses were added to the community.
Built for middle income families, the eligibility requirement to live in the community included a screening-checking for male head of family and no criminal history. The original tenants of the Pomonok Housing were 88% white and 12% of various heritages. Soon after the community was built other developments such as Electchester Houses and Campus Hall, Public Schools 200 and 201 and the Electhester Shopping Center were erected.
After moving in the new tenants formed the Pomonok Tenants Council to represent them. The Council helped to set up the first summer day camp for the children. They also organized the community center which ran diverse programs for all ages. Among the programs were Children's Play Center, Friday night dances for teenagers, make-up posture grooming classes were held for young girls and adults had classes in ceramics, leather craft and jewelry making.
The name Pomonok derives from the American Indian name meaning " The Land of Tribute. The Queens Borough Public Library opened its Pomonok Branch on June 17, 1952. The library was located at 67-09 Kissena Boulevard, directly across from Queens College. The Branch opened with about 9000 items including 3800 juvenile books and some popular magazines. By June 1953 the collection had increased to 13,000. The hours of service were: Mondays and Thursdays 2pm to 9 pm; Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm to 5.30pm; Wednesdays from 10am to 5.30pm and Saturdays from 9am to 12pm.
On December 14 1964, the Pomonok branch was moved to the main floor of a new six-story building on 158-21 Jewel Avenue. This space which was 31/2 times larger than the old site was rented by the city on a long-term lease. This time the Branch had about 42,000 items in its collection. The fully air-conditioned library had a "a floating mezzanine", a glass enclosed children's room and a separate multipurpose room for programs. An electric book lift was added to the facility to connect the ground floor to the mezzanine. The new service hours were 12pm to 9pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and 10am to 5.30pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Approximately 3000 people from the community attended the opening of the new branch.
The Pomonok Community Library is still at 158-21 Jewel avenue, and boasts of over 100,000 items including videos, dvds, music cds and several foreign language materials. The Pomonok Community Library is constantly diversifying to meet the needs of the community.
In 1980 it was announced that the city would turn over the project to the federal housing program. This sparked off a series of rallies and protest from the residents to keep the lower income families out. The fear at the time was that the neighborhood would change for the worst (crimes, drugs pregnancy out of wedlock were among the concerns cited). The opposition was supported by the Community Board 8 who believed that the Housing Authority and not the federal government should continue to manage the development.
Today the Community of Pomonok is heavily diversified with people from all walks of life.
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately one of two American men and one of three American women will have some type of cancer at some point during their lifetime. Queens Library HealthLink seeks to increase access to cancer screening and cancer treatment among medically underserved communities in Queens. Queens Library HealthLink is a partnership between Queens Library, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Queens Cancer Center of Queens Hospital and the American Cancer Society.

So, you're lost. Maybe you're driving through a strange town. Perhaps you're late for an important meeting. And you're losing it when that know-it-all box in the rental car starts barking instructions.
"Cross the rotary third exit ... Turn around when possible then at the end of the road turn right," the GPS system orders.
What you may need here is not a machine that tells you what to do, but a machine that knows how you feel.
Sounds impossible, but that may soon change, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips.
Back in the '70s, there were mood rings but, now, in the next millennium, there's a mood computer. A British man says he's invented a machine that actually knows what we're thinking and then adjusts itself to reflect that.
"We could actually monitor the driver and see that they're overloaded and actually shut down some of the navigation systems," says inventor Peter Robinson. "You could let the driver drive off track a bit and, and when they've calmed down, get them back on the road."
Robinson has developed just such a machine — a computer system that he says can read minds.
The computer can purportedly track emotions by reading facial expressions — something babies and primates can do.
"In a sense, computers are autistic. They ignore our expression. We look surprised, they plough on ahead," Robinson says. "We're trying to fix that"
Phillips took the machine for a test drive to see how it works.
The theory is that a camera — and the machine it's attached to — can actually tell what a person is thinking. It superimposes little blue boxes over an image of a person's face as reference points that act as little windows into the soul.
By tracking the movement of those points, the machine can measure dozens of emotions. In this case it's looking at whether I'm concentrating, agreeing or disagreeing.
In this case, the machine pops up a red graph, which means Phillips is agreeing, and a blue graph, which means he's concentrating.
And the machine has potential uses other than saving wayward travelers.
"Airport security," says Rana el Kaliouby, who helped develop the system. "For example, you can pick out someone, and we can figure out if he's nervous and trying to hide that."
Kaliouby is now exploring the machine's possibilities at MIT and thinks cameras at the airport security line can read people's intentions.
"They should read your non-verbal cues," she says. "They assess your mental state and then they use that to sort of infer your intentions and predict your behavior. Basically that is what we think machines should be able to do."
There's a way to go yet to refine the technology, but the program is already remarkably perceptive.
When Phillips tunes out just a bit, the machine shows a flat line.
"Thinking has never gotten off the bottom. No thinking happening," he says with a chuckle. "It's a window into the soul, and there's nothing going in there."

Kia Motors (UK) Limited has partnered with the England Women's cricket team, providing the players with the all-new pro_cee'd GT during the Women's Ashes Series. The deal marks the first 'standalone' sponsorship arrangement for the team.
Paul Philpott, President and CEO of Kia, commented upon the partnership: "We are delighted to provide the Women's team with the pro_cee'd GT during this Women's Ashes Series.
"We already have strong links to cricket, with our long-term sponsorship of Surrey CCC and the Kia Oval - we are proud that we can now ensure that the women's team can get to and from their all-important matches in a suitably sporting style. We wish them all the best for the Women's Ashes Series."
England Women's captain Charlotte Edwards said: "It's a great boost for the team that Kia have come on board for this Women's Ashes Series. We hope that it's the start of a great relationship."
The Women's Ashes Series comprises of one Test match (currently underway), three NatWest Women's One-Day Internationals and three NatWest Women's International Twenty20 matches. Points will be allocated to each format - the winners of the Test match will secure six points, and two points for the winner of each limited overs match. The team that accrues the most points across all formats will win the Women's Ashes Series and be presented with the Women's Ashes trophy.

i love this one
This is very cool! Strong sense of craft, atmosphere and expression!
Oh I love working in 2'x 2' sizes, it is hard to appreciate the details fully, here on dA which is too bad. This quite emotional!
Interesting; this has a lot of subtle shapes hidden in it.
Very nice. Is it mainly oil painting? I like the whole composition.
Thank you for asking. It is acrylic on canvas with found materials. The actual size is 24" x 24". Thanks for your nice comment!

The most comfortable pair of jeans you'll ever own. Because of one simple factor—flex. We've added 2% elastane to the cotton denim, so it moves when you move, gives when you bend. After washing and drying, the 2-way stretch fabric initially tightens. But with just a couple of hours of wearing, it relaxes back to fit your body like no other jeans you've worn.

Inscriptions, or any reader writing for that matter, make the book priceless. Without them, jeez. Max would have never met Ms. Cross.
The coolest things I've ever found were a long short story (I hope) that involved the character being raped in her sleep, that was both a highly-charged erotic description and an outpouring of rage; and a long inscription by the author, historian Bernard De Voto, to a young woman, consisting of effusive praise of her abilities and future, in one of his novels (which are not good novels, but hey, it was a buck).
I have a friend who frequently receives books as gifts - often the same books (he's one of these lucky people for whom other people constantly feel compelled to give gifts - that in itself has always cracked me up) and he always said he'd wish people would stop inscribing them so he could re-gift. (i think this was after he'd received his 7th copy of TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE) Now when I give him a book I think he might enjoy I inscribe it, BUT on a removable post it note, which I happily inscribed was so he could easily regift. I started it mostly as a joke, but now everyone who knows him gives him books with post it inscriptions!
I tend to be a fan of inscribed used books, but a post it is another option.
I love the Suicide Guidebook inscription on the Book Inscriptions Project site:
on a similar note, here's another collection:
I contributed item 17.
haha, the a-team! no way. they're early 20 something grosso oi punks who regularly piss me off by starting fights at nearly every party i go to.

Tearful Swann savours Ashes success
Watch the ECBtv exclusive with Graeme Swann in the video player above
Graeme Swann admitted England's Ashes triumph was enough to bring him to tears.
The off-spinner took the wicket that clinched victory at the Brit Oval - and a 2-1 series win - to spark jubilant scenes on the outfield and then in the dressing room.
Swann was still struggling to come to terms with England's sensational triumph in the aftermath of victory - and revealed he enjoyed a moment to himself as his team-mates began their post-match celebrations.
"I don't mind admitting I cried," he told ECBtv. "I took myself into the physio's room and screamed at the top of my voice. I had tears.
"I always imagined playing for England, imagined playing in an Ashes series. You can't dream how good it feels. I'm just so happy I'm a part of it.
"I still can't get over it. I can't believe it; I daren't believe it. It's happened and it's incredible, the best feeling in my life."
Swann had Mike Hussey caught at short-leg as England wrapped up a 197-run win, a wicket which saw him set off a joyous victory charge before ending on his knees and in an embrace with captain Andrew Strauss.
"To take the last wicket, to be part of history like that, is something phenomenal," Swann added.
"The actual feeling when that last wicket went... I didn't know what to do. I don't know how I've ended up on my knees, or what I was thinking.
"I want to see video footage of it because it ripped my knees to shreds."
Swann's four second-innings victims gave him match figures of 8-158 to complement the blistering 63 off 55 balls he made in the second innings, and lift him 17 places to 10th in the International Cricket Council bowlers' rankings.
His performance capped a fine series - he made 249 runs at an average of 35 and ended the five-Test campaign second only to Stuart Broad in the England wicket-taking charts, with 14.
"All through the series I've felt really confident with the bat - I've got some runs," Swann said. "Any time you get to bet to bat is a bonus and I go out and enjoy it.
"It gave us that cushion - no team is going to chase 550 with a wicket turning like that. Australia had a really good crack at it - Mike Hussey was phenomenal today - but scoreboard pressure paid for us, good bowling paid for us."
Swann was delighted to do his bit to ensure cricket dominated the front and back pages of the newspapers for the right reasons, England having earned their fair share of criticism following the innings-and-80-run defeat in the fourth Test.
He said: "The football season is under way. After the way we played at Headingley there was a danger that everyone would forget about the Ashes.
"But, judging by the number of texts I've got on my phone and the number of messages everyone else has got, I think it's fair to say we were the box office draw today.
"Everyone was rooting for us, everyone seems to be as happy as I am, so good on us."

Shadow foreign minister for human rights speaks out against Ugandan anti-gay bill
Post your comment

Reader comments
Well said, Kerry McCarthy.
Please put pressure on the coalition to take action against Uganda.
Oh, it's only taken them about three years to actually notice it. Not that anybody will do jack sh|t as Nigeria and Uganda have oil now.
What has Nigeria got to do with it? You do realise Nigeria is as far away from Uganda as Serbia is from the UK, don't you?
Rehan, does this answer your question to Spanner 1960?
"What has Nigeria got to do with it? You do realise Nigeria is as far away from Uganda as Serbia is from the UK, don't you?"
What does geographical distance have to do with the discussion here? BTW, Serbia's attitude toward this issue is so much farther away from the UK's attitude (as compared with Uganda and Nigeria) one wonders how Serbia can actually expect to join the EU. I'm interested in whether you challenge Spanner's assertion that economic considerations drive the UK's moral, ethical and cultural pronouncements. They certainly do here in the U.S. and I feel sure we learned that sort of situational ethics with our mother country's milk.
So if we're to talk about homophobic attitudes in Latvia, you think it's particularly useful to bring in homophobic attitudes in Albania, just because they're on the same continent? Well, maybe that works for you, it doesn't for me. Perhaps if you travelled a little more you'd be less inclined to lump vast territories together – and, incidentally, it'd probably help if you didn't seek to blame your own country's ills on a former colonial power – I'm pretty sure you can take full responsibility for your own attitudes.
Thank you for speaking up Kerry.
I find it ironic that Ugandan politicians always complain about Britain acting colonial and how we shouldn't interfere while using our old laws to persecute LGBT citizens.
Good luck with that, Ms McCarthy. It's going to be an uphill struggle dealing with the idiots in power in Uganda.
Barbarians, these anti gay people are barbarians, they are not only anti social but barbarians who are uneducated and the fact that American anti gay Christians go to Africa to incite these uneducated barbarians to hate and kill LGBT Africans is a fact of record. These anti gay Christians are criminals as well as the African barbatians who go along with their madness.
I'm so bored of these responses…
You'll note that the US Christians are 'criminals' but the Africans are (of course) 'barbarians'.
Thank you, Kerry McCarthy.
Arresting Scott Lively and bringing him to trial would send a strong message to Uganda, but there's no reasoning with religious fanaticism.
The 'Kill-the -gays Bill' has to be trashed, the sooner, the better.
And colonial laws updated..
Uganda is such a disgusting and backwards place
I wish more people would speak out against the horrible country, but at least somebody did and thank you for that!
I would rather have LGBT people in Uganda other than the corrupt Museveni government. Why would you persecute those enjoying their private life instead of persecuting those embezzling public funds.Well done kerry

Honey Moonset Over Red Rocks by kkartWatch
©2014-2016 kkart
I wasn't really expecting this to happen when I turned around and saw it. I actually had my 500 on photographing wildlife at the time so I decided to get in close thinking it could really make for a dramatic image. The mountainside was bright orange from the light of sunrise/golden hour beaming against it. When an opportunity presents itself, click away!
Sharing is caring!--My rules for using my images I ask that you respect my artwork and my rules when sharing my images. You are more than welcomed to share my artwork anywhere you like, however I do ask that you do NOT remove my ©, alter my image in any way, shape or form and that you link back to where the image came from, in this case my site on DA (though my personal website would be ok as well) That is all I ask.

Vt. general fund revenues up, transportation downNovember 16,2013MONTPELIER- The state of Vermont says the general and education fund revenues were slightly ahead of expectations in October while the Transportation Fund was just below forecasts.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding General Fund revenues were about 1.75 percent ahead of projections. So far for fiscal year 2014, the revenues are up by just over one half of a percentage point.
The non-Property Tax Education Fund was almost 3 percent above expectations. Year-to-date, the Education Fund is about eight-tenths of one percent above projections.
Transportation fund receipts in October were below expectations by just below one-half of 1 percent. But the year-to-date Transportation receipts are about 1.15 percent above the target.
Spaulding says the state is pleased with the numbers, but official will remain vigilant for any unanticipated changes.MORE IN Vermont NewsNORTHFIELD A Norwich University professor has been awarded a research fellowship to support her...

Kate Arrow: Deserted Wood tells us about the adventure of Kate and her efforts to rescue her kidnapped grandfather and restore stolen idols to a native tribe. This is a fairly straight-forward HOG/adventure game, combining the HOG search and elements of point-and-click adventue, such as the recent releases Puppetshow or Midnight Mysteries. This type of HOG is actually my favourite - search a cluttered scene, get an object to help me in my quest and on it goes. The structure of Kate Arrow's gameplay is solid enough - player is required to travel back and forth over 4 locations or so in each chapter, with sparkly HOG searches popping up.
Agatha Christie: 4:50 from Paddington is a hidden object game, which has you play as Miss Jane Marple, the remarkable detective for which no mystery is too difficult to solve. The plot surrounds what Elspeth McGillicuddy witnessed one night when she was traveling through the English countryside - yes, a murder was glimpsed by Mrs. McGillicuddy through the window of a passing train! Only her good friend Jane could possibly help to unravel that mystery. Who did it and why? The game has good graphics, it puts your right back into the atmosphere of old countryside England. The train carriages seem authentic, and Paddington train station reminds of days long gone past.
Judging from the game's name, something dreadful and at the same time thrilling is waiting for you ahead. Thus, think twice before switching the lights off... If you want to play the game with a carefully polished gameplot, interesting puzzles and just a good game, then you will for sure like Deadtime Stories, a new release from the developers of Dr. Lynch: Grave Secrets and the hit Women's Murder Club series. The story is concentrated on a girl, whose name is Jessie Bodeen. She is going to tell you her story. So, are you ready...?
For those who enjoyed Puppet Show Mystery of Joyville there is another part of this magnificent Hidden Object series with puppet-themed adventures: Puppet Show: Souls of the Innocent by Ers Game Studios. Like its predecessor, this sequel stands out for its quality and fascination among recent hidden object novelties. This one actually has almost the same components as the previous hit but I would define the game as not only significantly improved but in general just of a much better quality. That becomes very obvious after a few minutes of playing for any gamer whether you are a newcomer or a guru of the genre.
In Pizza Chef 2 - a fun and exciting Match 3 game by Playful Age and Big Fish Games - you are to play as a niece of a restaurant tycoon andr un a chain of classy pizzerias and cook like a real professional! Try to serve clients and earn coins that you can invest back into your restaurant to make your business grow, and you are definitely going to enjoy the game! Your happy clientele will favour your promotion from a small pizza cafe to a chain of upscale restaurants in the big city.
Tropical Fish Shop: Annabel's Adventure is a match 3 game that has you swapping tiles in order to earn tropical fish for your fish store. It is a cute game not only for older kids but for the whole family to spent their leisure in friendly domestic surroundings. Do you like diving? Here's your chance to plunge down deep, explore marine life and participate in a range of diving contests! Enjoy relaxing music, colorful graphics and exciting game-play, as you brush up on your diving skills!
Welcome to the continuation of the full of fun and surprises game Fiction Fixers: Adventures in Wonderland! You have already probably played the first part and have your own opinion about it. I'm sure that that impression is great and you have been waiting for another part with excitement. Though the game in general remains the same, it has more addicting features because of which you will be glad to deal with it once again.
Bored with kids games and would like something more challenging? Then we are sure you'll find a new logic game by Big Fish Games Unsolved Mystery Club: Amelia Earhart, combining all the best features of recent casual games, the right choice. As you guess, it supposes you to dive into the hidden object world of riddles and dangers. The Unsolved Mystery Club has the last chance in your person to find out one of the greatest mysteries of the XXth century: what happened to the legendary aviator Amelia Earhart.

YouTube funny man Josh Rimer has been bringing the comedy on the viral video site for a while now. Whether it be music video parodies or hilarious shorts, Josh is sure to put a smile on your face and a giggle in the belly. For his latest music video parody, Josh asked if I would jump on board to play his hook up and I couldn't resist.
This time around, Josh chose Chris Brown's current dancefloor single, Don't Wake Me Up to parody with his own rendition of a hook up from the bar called terribly wrong. May I introduce you to, Can't Get It Up. Once Josh gets me into his apartment, he leaves to freshen up but soon reveals that he's having a little problem down below. Will he choose to tell me? Will we get together in the end? You'll have to watch to find out. Check out his latest video parody and share your comments below.

I prefer a physical install to a live one because I then have a chance to load specialized ntfs drivers for instance, should there be a need.
How can I do this? Thank you!

Good constructive blog critique of Alltracks
Yep, I agree with him on the Metal and Rock chart - mind you, it's about the standard I expected when I saw who curated it.....

If John Key heads off to the MCG ("What by-election?") I will want them to win 90%.
If he turns up on the telly at the game, 80%.
If he turns up in the dressing room, 60%.
If he wears one of those silly shirts and catches the ball … COME ON Australia!
If he gets in to another awkward 3-way handshake on the winner's podium like he did at the Rugby World Cup final, can we just revoke his passport and leave him in Melbourne?
Hard News: Friday Music: An unforced craft,
I bought this record today, from a band I'd never heard of before who recorded it in Whanganui - https://greenfog.bandcamp.com/album/bruce-farm
It's a big slab of loud droney guitar, in a similar vein to Black Boned Angel but with more notes, and it's quite wonderful.
Hard News: How about that cricket, eh?,
With 10 overs to go I was quietly confident.
With 5 overs to go I was resigned to losing in the semifinals for a 7th time.
For the last two overs I was on the edge of my seat, not even wanting to talk.
That has to be the best game of cricket I've seen in a long, long time.
Hard News: To defame and deflect,
I've heard Key's "Hager's last allegations were categorically disproven" sound bite about 3 times across different media now, and not once have I heard a journalist ask him which allegations were the ones that were categorically disproven. He gets a free ride that allows him to set the agenda.
Hard News: Friday Music: Fickle Rock,
I can attest to Robin Lambert's skill as a salesman in Sounds Unlimited - I would walk in, he'd recognise me, suggest 2 or 3 new arrivals to listen to, and I would inevitably leave with what I'd been intending to buy AND the 2 or 3 he'd played for me. I was only ever a weekly visitor, but he still knew who I was when I went in there - it was almost like having your own personal record buyer.

A new study is now linking physical punishment with mental health disorders.
Canadian researchers found that when a child received physical punishment such as slapping, pushing, and hitting, even without neglect or abuse they were likely to experience mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, and personality disorders.
Many parents argue that they were spanked and came out just fine. However, previous studies have shown that people who were spanked are at a higher risk for depression and are likely to use alcohol. Prior studies also showed that people who were physically punished were likely to hit their spouses and children and engage in criminal activity.
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Canadian Pediatric Society advises against the use of corporal punishment. Spanking is considered against the law in 32 countries– not including the United States and Canada.
Tracie Afifi, the study's lead author believes that there are other parenting options and discipline methods that can be used instead. Some examples include time-outs, withholding privileges, and offering consequences outside of physical contact.
Dr. Howard Bennett, a pediatrician and clinical professor of pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine recommends praising children for their positive behavior. Dr. Bennett suggests using "time-offs" rather than "time-outs." During the "time off" process, a child is excused to another part of the home and can only return when they stop the offending behavior.

Flagler College soccer coach John Lynch wouldn't be surprised to see his men's team in the NAIA Top 25 when the new rankings come out today.
And he wouldn't be surprised if the Saints weren't quite there yet. Most of all, he's just grateful for a win in Sunday's home opener.
''It's a big win for a few reasons,'' said Lynch of a 2-0 defeat of the No. 22 team, Kentucky's Cumberland College.
None of those reasons have anything to do with the Top 25.
''We had some defensive lapses against William Carey and we corrected them,'' said Lynch, referring to last Tuesday's season-opening 3-2 loss to William Carey College in Mississippi.
For another thing, Cumberland was coming off a 3-2 victory over Embry-Riddle, one of the Saints' fiercest rivals in the Florida Sun Conference.
''This probably puts us ahead of Embry-Riddle,'' Lynch said. ''We still have to beat them on the field, but this gives us the confidence that we can.''
Flagler, Embry-Riddle, St. Thomas and Nova Southeastern have been locked in a struggle for FSC supremacy the last two seasons. The Saints face Nova Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, but in a scheduling quirk, that game won't count in the conference standings.
Sunday's match was scoreless until the 55-minute mark, when Ricky Fiorino scored off an assist from Tom Cuttiford. Steve Nyrady followed at the 70-minute mark with an insurance goal, getting an assist from Zoltan Ferencz.
Goalkeeper Peter Young was credited with seven saves.

From the Wichita Business Journal:
The Federal Reserve Board has ordered a Topelka bank to increase its capital to meet federal requirements.
Heritage Bank must increase its equity by May 31, the Federal Reserve said in a "prompt corrective action" that was announced Tuesday. The directive says the bank's capital must comply with a capital restoration plan it submitted to the Fed in January.

Whistling Past the Graveyard
You couldn't blame Bill Lawson for feeling like a lucky guy right now. Consider: In 1975, he started a little computer-consulting firm with his brother, Richard. Twenty-two years later the outfit has 1,100 employees worldwide and is considered one of the top three companies in its field, writing specialty software applications.
It doesn't stop there. Two years from now, if things keep going as planned, Lawson and his company will move from their slightly grungy headquarters off Minneapolis's Industrial Boulevard to a brick-and-glass tower in the heart of downtown St. Paul. They'll be able to walk to lunch at trendy cafes, burn off extra pounds on the running paths by the Mississippi, or stroll across Rice Park to check out the shows at the Ordway.
And it gets better yet. Lawson won't have to raise money for the new building or worry about what happens if business takes a nosedive. Nor will its developer, David Frauenshuh. The city of St. Paul will deliver a prime piece of real estate free, finance the building, and throw in a brand new parking ramp. All the software makers have to do is promise to pay rent for 15 years--and perhaps mug for the cameras a few times as politicians celebrate downtown's renaissance.
Even for a city that raised publicly financed development to a high art, the Lawson deal--approved by the City Council last week and set to close August 8--sets a new standard. Never before, it seems, has any city built, owned, and operated a whole building for a company. Unless, of course, the company was a sports team. "This is what we have been warning about for years," says Art Rolnick, an economist at the Federal Reserve in Minneapolis. "Sports franchises are just the most visible example" of footloose companies squeezing cities for ever sweeter deals, "but any mobile business can play the game."
So what exactly is the deal? That part is still a little vague; even as the City Council voted on the $101 million project last week, key details had not been finalized. What is known is that the amount of money involved has ballooned since Frauenshuh, a supporter and campaign contributor of St. Paul Mayor Norm Coleman, first approached the city. Back then, all he was looking for was the usual deal--free land, maybe a tax break, some "credit enhancement" to the tune of maybe $25 million.
But when word of the negotiations got out, Minneapolis officials complained that they violated an informal agreement between the two cities not to raid each other's companies. Talks heated up as both cities worked up bids, and by May the St. Paul City Council was voting on an offer Lawson and Frauenshuh could hardly refuse: Rather than helping finance the project, St. Paul would build it all. It would take out a $53 million loan, backed by its property taxpayers, and turn the money over to Frauenshuh for construction. It would also clear out the existing tenants on the block, demolish their buildings, and put up a brand-new parking ramp.
Frauenshuh's only substantial contribution was to be $300,000 in cash and a $5 million letter of credit. And Lawson's commitment consisted of a promise to lease two-thirds of the space for 15 years at above-market rates. Insurance giant The St. Paul Companies would fill up the rest of the space for six years. If all went well, the lease payments would cover the loans, the bondholders would make a profit, and the city would break even.
Just why the city took this unprecedented step remains something of a mystery. The official explanation is that downtown rents simply aren't high enough for the market to finance the kind of building Lawson and the city want: Only an investor who can forgo the profit, the reasoning goes, can afford such a project. An alternative theory suggests that the deal is too risky for private investors: What happens, critics want to know, if downtown takes another nosedive and rents plummet? What, for that matter, if Lawson goes belly-up?
The money people clearly have given this some thought. Canadian-based Newcourt Capital USA, the prospective lender for the project, considers only $23 million of the $53 million loan "investment grade"; that's the amount to be paid back during the six years when both The St. Paul and Lawson have committed to staying in the building. The investment firm washes its hands of the remaining $30 million to be paid off starting in the seventh year (by which time the accumulated interest brings the figure back to $46 million). If revenues from the building don't cover the payments for this amount, a letter from Newcourt to the city says, the city will be solely responsible.
That last detail doesn't show up in the city's description of the project. City officials say that's because there is nothing to worry about. A gorgeous new building in a prime location, they argue, can't fail to attract tenants or even buyers: "Actually, I'll be very surprised if by year 10 we even still own the building," says city Planning and Economic Development director Pam Wheelock. (Lawson and Frauenshuh both have options to buy the building.)
But not everyone's convinced. "The city has its neck stuck out a mile long for no real commitment," says John Mannillo, a downtown real estate owner and broker who also ran for mayor in '93. "I'm sure one of the reasons they couldn't get local financing is that software is a risky industry, and no one knows what's going to happen. That's why the risk goes way up after six years."
Mannillo wasn't always so sour on the project. "I'm not against corporate welfare," he says, "as long as we get a fair return. But you do have to examine what the return is and what else we could spend our money on. I'd like to have a Porsche, but I can't afford one right now. And I don't think St. Paul can afford this."
There are other problems, Mannillo says, with the deal's structure. For one thing, the city has yet to cobble together the financing for the other part of the project--clearing the land, building the parking ramp, and sandwiching in some retail shops. If things go well, all that will cost $37 million. Then there's the cost of future improvements and repairs, possibly major ones if Lawson or The St. Paul choose to leave after their leases run out. Mannillo estimates fix-up costs of up to $23 million for the building and ramp by the time both are 15 years old. City officials dispute that figure, saying any improvements are more than covered by $10 million in reserve funds. But parts of that same $10 million are supposed to cover a default, or buy down accumulated interest, or make up for construction overruns. "Every contingency you ask them about, they're using that $10 million," Mannillo says. "And if everything works out, they'll be fine. But if they run into more than one problem at a time, the whole house of cards will come crashing down on them."
It's happened before. In the 1980s, the St. Paul Port Authority was lending money left, right, and center for office buildings and glitzy retail projects, many of which eventually defaulted. To this day, the Port Authority is sitting on buildings developers gave up when the cash flow dried up. One of its bond funds is headed for default, and downtown lease rates are only now starting to rebound from their early-'90s slump.
So why is the city so anxious to jump back into the fray? Supporters of the Lawson deal say it's obvious: Redeveloping Block 39 will be the crown jewel of downtown's renaissance. Nearby property values will rise; other firms, especially computer companies, will move downtown; and a near-mystical optimism will spread over the river city. "The light is shining on downtown St. Paul once again," Coleman said in announcing the project back in January; the Pioneer Press editorial page echoed that Lawson's return "switches on a bright new light" in the capital.
But bright lights may not be the only thing guiding St. Paul's leaders this election year. Coleman's been doing well at the polls, but all politicians like to go into November with something concrete to show. A "Renaissance-style" tower on Rice Park might be just the ticket--especially if the mayor's other big accomplishment, landing an NHL hockey team, starts to look dicey after all.
Actually, the connection between hockey and the Lawson deal is more than just metaphorical. A few months ago, the St. Paul City Council voted to approve some $65 million for a new NHL rink; Coleman and Gov. Arne Carlson told council members the Legislature would give the city that money next spring. But lawmakers don't sound so thrilled about that idea. And while city officials still insist the state must come through, they're quietly working on fallback schemes. Under one of them, the arena would be paid for with a loan against property taxes from the yet-to-be-built Lawson tower; a vote to allow that is set for September 10.
Whatever the motivation, Coleman's gamble appears to be paying off. Through the six months Lawson has been in the headlines, no serious political opposition has materialized. Would-be critics were too busy trying to track the ever-shifting project details; community-group protests got lost in a tangle of City Council delays. Council President Dave Thune, who a few months ago griped that the city was taking a lot of risk for "a midsize office building and some retail space," has turned into the project's lead sponsor. DFL mayoral endorsee Sandy Pappas's efforts to raise a stink have fizzled. Right now, it doesn't seem as if anything will stand in the way of demolition on Block 39, which the city hopes to start before the deep freeze. Then construction will start, with a completion target of spring 2000.
Lawson Software will be watching from a safe distance. The company has been "trying to stay out of the political arena," says spokeswoman Nancy Harrower. "All we're interested in is a facility that will help us run our business and grow our business. And it just happens that what's been coming from St. Paul has been ideal." As Coleman put it after a last-minute negotiating trip to Northeast Minneapolis, "Bill Lawson is a smart guy. He gets it."

(NEW BOSTON, NH) -- An inadvertent misstep in promoting a diet drink on this Sunday's ''Celebrity Apprentice'' resulted in an unexpected spike in traffic for adult toy company Crystal Delights.
For this weeks challenge, the Celebrity Apprentice teams were given the task to promote a new Crystal Light diet beverage product. While the mens team opted to promote the companys new Mocktails virgin drink mixes with a beach theme, the ladies team, Team Forte, chose to promote the entire company with the tagline, "Garden of Crystal Delight," not realizing that a luxury adult toy company bore the same name. During the broadcast, Crystal Delights was mentioned repeatedly both verbally as well as with a large sign on the show, resulting in an impromptu national ad campaign for the small New Hampshire luxury adult toy company.
Fans of both the television show and the toy company alike can see a clip from the broadcast at http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi3649085465/.
As fans of the television show, where mogul Donald Trump pits celebrities against each other in an attempt to win money for different charities, Crystal Delights Creative Director Shellie Yarnell said, "We were thrilled to have so many mentions on Sundays program! We were even more surprised to see our website traffic spike due to the repeated mentions."
Yarnell has offered each member of Team Forte a free luxury toy as a way of thanking them for the national advertising of Crystal Delights. "Crystal Light is classy, sassy and cutting edge, just like us," said Yarnell. "Thanks, Team Forte and Crystal Light!"
Yarnells only sadness is that Deborah Gibson, who sang a catchy custom song for the diet drink during the show which included the lyric "You know you want it, and you should have it," did not mention Crystal Delights, though fans of the toy certainly share Gibsons sentiment about the luxury toys.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Here is the latest in our year-long look at one cool comic (whether it be a self-contained work, an ongoing comic or a run on a long-running title that featured multiple creative teams on it over the years) a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the comics posted so far!
Today we look at a classic Legion of Super-Heroes tale from Adventure Comics #312 by Edmond Hamilton and John Forte showing how the Legion brought Lightning Lad back to life (Warning! This contains major spoilers for the story!)
Lightning Lad, one of the founding members of the Legion, died in Adventure Comics #304, and that was a major moment in Legion history, and they would refer to it every once in awhile over the next year. They also had a recurring sub-plot where the Legion would search for ways to bring him back to life.
Ultimately, in Adventure Comics #312, a way might have been found, but is the cost too great?
The issue opens with the Legion waiting to hear back from Mon-El, who suggested a number of issues earlier that he might know of a way…
The rest of the issue shows the other team members looking for other ways while Saturn Girl schemes to get to the bottom of why Mon-El is lying…
The PATHOS!!
Wow, Edmond Hamilton sure knew how to set up some dramatic scenarios. You can say the ending is a cop-out, and yeah, it is, but hey, it's the set-up that is memorable and that's the important part. It's why I was willing to spoil the story, as it has become such a classic tale that it's really not worth hiding the ending (that and I used it in the DC Memorable Moments thing so it would be silly to now try to hide it).
John Forte does a great job on the artwork for this story.
A true Silver Age classic.
Great choice Brian. This era of Legion stories is often overlooked. The stories are somewhat simple, but the ongoing plot-threads from issue-to-issue and somewhat primitive character development are the basis of much of the comic storytelling that came later. Sure everything is pretty much fed to the audience, and the dialog is interchangeable, but the evolution is apparent.
Plus, John Forte's quirky art is just awesome!
Totally agree.
And of course it was great to get Curt Swan later on, but overall Forte was better at showing Legionnaires flying.
This story was ret-conned by the Bierbaum's [sp?] and became that Lightning Lad became Proty & had fooled everyone. i forget what issue that was, but it was the last time i read anything by them.
Anyone else remember that issue?
These issues were reprinted in an 88pg Giant in 1969 or so. Reading the several installments in the one go was a powerful experience then when I was in grade three or whatever. It really set the bar for comic book drama.
The end did not feel like a cop-out to this young reader.
"I.. I'll never forget you, Proty! Your sacrifice brought a hero back to life!" sob choke
I have never since felt so emotionally connected to a walking blob of protoplasm.
It was as good as DC superhero soap opera got back then.
I remember that Bierbaum issue very well. I think it was the then-current LSH #50. Lighting Lad had been my favourite character and had been quite underused for a long time, so I remember he had a big role in that story and I was quite excited about it…until I read the ending. I'm a big Legion fan so I can put up with a lot of nonsense about them and still enjoy it, but that one left me very unhappy.
The clock is the strangest one in the universe because it has hands rather than LEDs, presumably.
A slight clarification of Danjack's note:
"In a Post-Crisis on Infinite Earths retcon, it was revealed that the original Proty did not die saving Lightning Lad's life. In reality, Proty's life force was transferred into the body of Garth Ranzz, and Proty lived his life as Garth from that point forward. The true Garth was never revived." –Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) Annual #3 (1992).
I personally loved this retcon. I thought it gave a creepy-cool sci-fi twist to an otherwise straightforward story.
I'm with Rob. the LL is actually Proty in LL's body was a great reveal. It wasn't a ret-con, just a reveal that in this story LL when he awakes is Proty pretending to be LL (not difficult since he's a mind-reader). Also makes sense here – I mean look how cool LL is with Proty being dead. It's because he's still alive!!!!!
So who undressed Saturn Girl on Daxam…? Mon-El, you got some explaining to do!
You might be able to argue that the Proty reveal wasn't a retcon of the original Adventure Comic story (as opposed to a reveal) but I think there are many many Legion stories that came out after that which strongly contradict the Proty revelation. There might never have been a story where Garth thinks, "I'm really Garth Ranzz and not a resurrected Proty," but lots of times where Garth's life was looked at in quite a lot of detail, along with his relationships with Ayla and Mekt, where the clear intention was that Garth was really Garth. So I'd say that qualifies as a Ret-con.

An audio CD of the original speech accompanies the book, as well as the entirety of the speech text.

Unset the sizes we add, so thats
unset( $sizes['shop_thumbnail']);
unset( $sizes['shop_catalog']);
unset( $sizes['shop_single']);
Just found this fix but it isn't working for me. Its giving me strange results. Without the fix my blog used to create 4 files, or 5 if the original image was over 500 pixels wide (don't know why). So when I add this function (verbatim) to my child theme's functions.php file and set all the Media Setting sizes to zero it changes the attachment display settings size dropdown so only a full size option appears. Seems like it worked. However, when I monitor the upload directory I see that it now adds three image files. The original size, "full size" file is 600x521 and is uploaded as "600px-myimagename.svg_.png". A second file was uploaded named "600px-myimagename.svg_-600x198.png" and its cropped (no idea why). And a third file was uploaded and named "600px-myimagename.svg_-500x434.png" and is reduced to 500x434. Its happening with every upload. Is anyone else having the same results?
I've had my blog since 2006 and I have thousands of unused image files. I'd really like to stop this.
