Tiësto's brand-new clothing line, called CLVB LIFE, debuts in Los Angeles tomorrow.
The DJ, who was recently voted "The Greatest DJ of All Time," has created a collection of "high-end t-shirts catering to club culture." Didn't Ed Hardy pretty much cover that already?
CLVB LIFE's website won't be operational until tomorrow, but here's a taste of what you can expect to find at Kitson (of course at Kitson) tomorrow.
The tees are influenced by the key elements of Tiësto's performances--light, color, and symmetry. The cutting edge graphics appear on fine cotton tops for both men and women. CLVB LIFE apparel promises to set off the next major shift in contemporary fashion, and demonstrate the influence and power of the millions of fans of both Tiësto and electronic dance music.
In picture form?
Those fake sleeves are very cutting-edge. Looks like THAT DUDE has found his holiday one-stop shopping!

My First Trip Abroad
... high up in the Apennines Mountains. I went on the perfect sunny fall day. San Marino is noted as a medieval city and its three huge watch towers on the edge of the mountain. I was able to go through the main tower and got the most beautiful views. Oddly enough while we were there I noticed some faint medieval music ...
Day 51 - Republica San Marino City/State
Woke to a sunny morning in Ravenna. We shared the breakfast room with a couple from Sicily who were staying at the same B&B and chatting with the hotel proprietress. They did not speak any English but thanks to Google Translator we enjoyed a small conversation about our travels.
We departed Ravenna about 10:30 and headed South to check out a leather goods outlet store recommended by the hotel owner where we were staying. We found the address but the store ...
Day 50 - A Bike Ride to the Adriatic
... the way Jerry spotted an open restaurant that had a special lunch of pasta scampi, white fish and a piece of pan seared calamari (no breading) We stopped and had the special of the day, what a treat! Great meal amongst many locals!
Content with our meal and ready to burn off some calories, we headed back to our B&B. We both thought this was a very memorable day and one we thoroughly enjoyed!
Just a couple of pictures today.
Day 49 - Ravenna Mosaics March
... streets in the old town area. Prices were better than Verona or Bellagio but still spends. Kathy is holding out for Spain.
Having walked for the entire afternoon, we took a break to people watch and enjoy some of the famous food of the region. We enjoyed some seafood tonight as Ravenna is on the Adriatic Coast and the seafood is excellent. We finally returned to our room about 9:30 after a very long but enjoyable day.
'Nothing' but an evening beach stroll
... except to say that we finished the day feeling very relaxed'. We topped off our relaxing day doing something by an evening beach walk. It was lovely to leave the apartment and do something that is at least worth remembering otherwise our day would have been a full day of something that really means ...

Luke 1:26-38English Standard Version (ESV)
Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[a] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!"[b] 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
34 And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?"[c]
35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[d] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God." 38 And Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant[e] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

The Confocal and Specialized Microscopy Shared Resource is a fully Cancer Center-managed facility. Subcellular imaging is an essential tool in cancer biology. However, although the ideal specimen for conventional optical microscopy is two-dimensional, biological material is organized in three dimensions. Several technologies, notably confocal microscopy, are available to collect 3D images of biological samples, with a spatial resolution superior to conventional microscopy. These essential imaging systems are expensive and difficult for inexperienced users to operate and maintain, and are not routinely available in individual research laboratory. The services provided by the Confocal and Specialized Microscopy Shared Resource are: ? one-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy ? multiphoton excitation confocal microscopy ? spinning-disk confocal microscopy ? digital deconvolution microscopy All of these 3-dimensional fluorescence imaging technologies are made conveniently and affordably available to HICCC members and other Columbia University researchers in a centralized facility, with training, assisted use, and consultation on data analysis and presentation provided by a full-time employee and a manager. Since 1996, the facility has been used by more than 154 principal investigators from over 30 basic science and clinical departments at Columbia University, and has contributed images for more 200 publications. The facility is currently used at 75% of its maximal capacity during peak hours. In January 2007, the facility moved into newly renovated space in the Irving Cancer Research Center. The facility continually seeks to add new imaging technologies to meet the scientific needs of our users. In conjunction with the HICCC, we will introduce a new confocal microscope in the next year. During the last period of the CCSG, 37% of the users have been Cancer Center members with peerreviewed funding, with those members representing 26% of the hours used in the facilty. The total operating budget of the facility is $273,025, of which we are requesting $79,749 from the CCSG.

Learn more about the evolution of features in FLIR's Tau LWIR uncooled camera cores.
Tau with a 19mm LensClick to see more lens options
Tau with 7.5mm lens
Mouse over lens options
to see image change
FLIR Tau 2 thermal imaging cameras offer an unmatched set of features, making them well-suited for demanding applications like Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs), thermal weapon sights, and handheld imagers. Improved electronics now give Tau 2 even more capabilities, including radiometry, increased sensitivity (<30mK), 640/60Hz frame rates, and powerful image processing modes that
dramatically improve detail and contrast. Since the electrical function are common between the Tau 2 640, 336 and 324, integrators have direct compatibility between the different camera formats, and Tau camera versions share many of the same lens options.
New features:
There is no difference in form or fit between Tau 2 and the first generation Tau cameras. The upgraded Tau 2 electronics enable additional functions and capabilities that are planned for release on a periodic basis. A comparison of the Tau2 version evolution can be found here: Tau Feature Comparison. Note that earlier versions of Tau (1.X) cannot be upgraded to the newer Tau 2 configuration.
FLIR also offers three low-cost Tau 2 options for applications that do not require high resolution imaging:
Download the FLIR Camera Controller GUI
FLIR's Tau2 uncooled thermal imaging cameras operating at 30Hz or 60Hz (NTSC), or 25Hz or
50Hz (PAL) with a resolution of up to 640x512 are export-controlled by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Validated export licenses must be obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce prior to export or re-export of such devices outside of the United States. FLIR employs a team of trade compliance professionals that understand the export rules and regulations, and can assist our customers with their export questions and issues. In circumstances whereby FLIR delivers a camera to a customer in the U.S. who intends to export or re-export the FLIR camera outside of the United States, whether or not the camera is
integrated into another product, it is the customer's responsibility to apply for the required export
license from the appropriate department of the U.S. government. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. Note that there are several countries to which the export of thermal imaging cameras is prohibited under any circumstances, regardless of the camera resolution or video update rate. These countries are Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria, Crimea – Region of Ukraine, and the Russian Industry Sector. Export policies governing the export of thermal imaging cameras are established by the U.S. government, and in order for FLIR to comply with the policy requirements, we FLIR in turn must ensure that our its customers agree to these conditions.
The Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is 6A003.b.4.b for Tau2 cameras operating at 60Hz or 30Hz (NTSC), or 50 Hz or 25Hz (PAL). Two forms are required in order for FLIR to apply to the Department of Commerce for the purpose of obtaining a validated export license for full-rate video thermal imaging cameras with 640x512 or lower resolution: a BIS-711; and FLIR'sTransaction Information form. Also refer to the FLIR Export Fact Sheet for Tau2 640, 336, 324. Please direct any questions or concerns regarding the export status of FLIR's OEM products email@example.com.
ECCN 6A003.b.4.b (see Full-Rate Thermal Video, above) does not control imaging cameras having a maximum video update rate equal to or less than 9 Hz. The ECCN for ≤ 9Hz (slow-video) thermal cameras is 6A993. Thermal imaging cameras with video update rates ≤ 9Hz may be exported outside of the United States without an export license, except to the embargoed countries Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea – Region of Ukraine, and the Russian Industry Sector. However, under no circumstances can thermal imaging cameras be used in the design, development, production, or use of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, regardless of frame rate.
FLIR offers Tau2 640, 336, and 324 thermal imaging cameras in slow-rate video (< 9Hz) versions. For NTSC, the slow video update rate is 7.5Hz, and for PAL, the slow video update rate is 8.3Hz.
The only requirement imposed by the U.S. government is to collect certain information for cameras shipped outside the U.S. To comply with this requirement, FLIR processes a Transaction Information form for sales of slow video cameras. Also refer to the FLIR Export Fact Sheet for Tau2 640, 336, 324. Please direct any questions or concerns regarding the export status of FLIR's OEM products firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Tau2 camera compensates for variations of the camera temperature and outputs 14-bit digital video that is stabilized and normalized. That means that a scene with a given temperature will always correspond to a certain digital value in the video independent of the camera's temperature. We call this a "temperature stable video". The Tau2 can have two types of 14-bit temperature stable video: flux-linear and T-linear. Flux-linear is the standard output on all Tau2 cameras but T-linear is an option only available on Tau2 cameras with Advanced Radiometry enabled.
The Advanced Radiometric Tau2 camera allows customers to derive temperature information per pixel from objects in the scene (using the T-Linear 14-bit video output). Additionally external scene parameters can be compensated (such as emissivity, window transmission, etc.) to more accurately determine temperature. The Advanced Radiometric cameras also provide an image metric feature where the user can query the camera for scene temperature data via serial command (such as maximum, minimum, and standard deviation for user defined regions).
If the Tau2 camera doesn't have Advanced Radiometry then the user will get flux-linear video and the ability to display the center spot temperature meter information on the analog and BT.656 video (external scene parameters can be adjusted for this center spot meter). They will also be able to use the isotherm functions. If a customer would like to retrieve image metric functions, the T-linear output option, and the ability to tune external parameters across all pixels they will need Advanced Radiometry.
The 8-bit video and the analog video are optimized for best visual appearance using AGC (automatic gain control) and are not radiometric.
For more information download the Advanced Radiometry App Note.

July 05, 2012 Global Media Tablets Market to Reach 412.5 Million Units by 2018, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Media Tablets markets. The global market for Media Tablets is projected to reach 412.5 million units by the year 2018, driven by the quantity and variety of unique services and applications that are created specifically for Media Tablets. Factors such as touch screen displays, multiple connectivity factors, and tablet form factor are also expected to make Media Tablets popular for various forms of content consumption such as digital books, magazines, games, and videos.
Media tablets currently represents one of the fastest growing markets in the consumer electronics industry. Media tablet devices constitute a new market segment between smartphones and netbooks. With features such as multi-touch gravity sensors and speech recognition, media tablets are expected to make human-computer interaction more convenient. Popular applications for media tablets include web browsing, e-reader, e-mail access, watching videos, playing games and application, and listening to music. There is a growing concern among smartphone and netbook manufacturers that popularity of media tablets would affect their products sales. However, media tablets are unlikely to make a major dent in their markets, given the complementary nature of these devices.
Media tablets present a number of new prospects for businesses, and supplement traditional uses of smartphones and netbooks. Certain companies have already started issuing media tablets to business as well as IT leaders for exploration purposes. The employment of media tablets is also being explored in areas that bring computing into settings that were too cumbersome or not practical to use traditional approaches. For the consumers, media tablets ensures a casual and rich experience in everyday setting such as the living room, the train, or while waiting in the bank line. In the same manner, IT organizations are seeking new places where tablets are capable of delivering media and information in new manners. Sales departments are looking at adoption of media tablets due to its capability of offering an engaging method to share sales collateral as well as promotional materials. Media tablets could also be employed for improving customer relationship management systems, as well as order entry and sales configuration applications. For managing sales, media tablets would be an ideal platform for business analytics as well as performance dashboards.
In the short term, proliferation of media tablets and e-readers is expected to negatively impact the personal computer (PC) market. By 2014, media tablets are projected to displace nearly 10% of the PC units. As such, broad PC market is expected to see more controlled growth in the post-media tablet and smartphone era. Media tablets, smartphones, and other innovative devices are expected to function as complements and substitutes of PCs, specifically the desktop models. Factors such as PC industries inability to introduce breakthrough innovations and over-dependence on business models that rely on driving volume through price declines are affecting the industrys ability of inducing new replacement cycles. With slowdown in the PC market, vendors that differentiate their offerings through technology and service innovation in place of unit price and volume are expected to witness growth. Subsequently, the market might witness introduction of numerous convertibles, slates, dual-screen, and tri-screen solutions for checking the rise of media tablets and smartphone market.
Apple is the first company that successfully forayed into the market with iPad. iPad is expected to retain the market dominance in the media tablet market in the coming years. The company accounted for an estimated 63% market share of the media tablet market in 2011. Apples vertical integration with online services, software, design and application enables the company to reap advantages in time-to-market as well as offer user friendly interfaces to customers. The company is expected to face aggressive competition from different brands of media tablets and majority of the competing companies would manufacture media tablets in large quantities and economical price points for encouraging rapid growth.
As stated by the new market research report on Media Tablets, the US represents the largest market for media tablets. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 57.7% over the analysis period. With the release of iPad 2, the market has been witnessing heavy uptake of the product. iPad 2 would facilitate Apple in maintaining an advantage over the competitors through a sleeker design, improved performance, and speed. The sales growth of media tablets, in general, and Apple iPad, in particular, is expected to continue across all the major European markets, including France, Germany and the UK. In the same manner, demand for media tablets would gradually increase in Central Eastern Europe and Middle East and Africa (CEMA) with products becoming available and adding incremental volumes.
Major players in the marketplace include Acer, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple, Inc., ARCHOS, ASUSTeK Computer Inc., Barnes & Noble, Inc., Dell, Inc., HTC Corporation, Lenovo Group Limited, Motorola Mobility, Inc., Research In Motion Limited, and Samsung Electronics Company Limited.
The research report titled "Media Tablets: A Global Strategic Business Report" announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of trends, issues, product overview, product innovations/launches, strategic industry activities, and profiles of major companies worldwide. The report provides market estimates and projections for the period 2010-2018 for major geographic markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan), Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Market analytics are provided in terms of volume (Million Units) by Operating System, including Android, QNX, iOS, and Others.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University successfully generated electricity using the chemical reactions within a false death's head cockroach's abdomen. It wasn't a lot of energy—the maximum power density obtained was only 100 microwatts per square centimeter at 0.2 volts—but it's the first time this has been achieved. Advertisement Advertisement The process works like this. Roaches produce trehalose, a sugar, naturally from its diet. An enzyme located on the anode is introduced into the bugs gut in order to break the trehalose down into two simpler sugars, which are then broken down further by a second enzyme to release their stored electrons, which flow towards the cathode.Researchers first tested this process in simulation and then live-tested it by inserting two electrodes into a female cockroaches blood sinus (sounds worse than it is). The incredible part is that the insects are apparently unharmed by the process, which means that long-term implantable devices could be possible."Insects have an open circulatory system so the blood is not under much pressure," Biology Professor Roy E. Ritzmann, who oversaw the experiment, explained. "So, unlike say a vertebrate, where if you pushed a probe into a vein or worse an artery (which is very high pressure) blood does not come out at any pressure. So, basically, this is really pretty benign. In fact, it is not unusual for the insect to right itself and walk or run away afterward." Sponsored Besides the whole humanity-enslaved-by-its-own-inventions scenario, we could wire up a battalion of cockroaches with little head-mounted lasers powered by the contents of their own guts! It'd be awesome—instead of flipping on the light late at night and watching them scurry, you'd instead be met with a barrage of adorable, tickling laser fire. Did I say tickling? I meant blinding.

i've found a strange implementation of opacity in modern browsers. (see the demo url).
The red link in this example treated as it has z-index:0 property, but its not.
All the specification is saying about is: "If an element with opacity less than 1 is positioned, the 'z-index' property applies as described in [CSS21], except that 'auto' is treated as '0' since a new stacking context is always created. See section 9.9 and Appendix E of [CSS21] for more information on stacking contexts". And in the mentioned sections i've found nothing that help me.
I'm sure that browsers implementation is not quite correct.
(css spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/#opacity)
If it's not a bug than i'm asking you to explain Mozilla's interpretation.
yours sincerely.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put the  tag in absolute positioned div with positive z-index value.
2. Make the parent div of that div transparent with opacity style.
3. make the other transparent div, which would cover the absolute positioned div rather than lying under. (even if negative z-index is set).
Actual Results:
The link is not clickable. (z-index not working)
Expected Results:
The red link should be clickable. (z-index should work)
Created attachment 452623 [details]
current contents of http://usabili.ru/labs/css_opacity_bug.html
The part you quoted is the part that matters. Non-auto computed values of opacity create a new stacking context, so the #div_with_link is at stacking level 1 in the stacking context created by #container, not in the root stacking context. Then the stacking context for #container is at level 0 in the root, as is the one for #content, which means the latter is on top (since it comes later in the document).
This is all explained in the above-cited sections of CSS2.1, and is as clear and unambiguous as any part of CSS2.1 gets.
The key parts here are:
#content {
opacity: 0.7;
#container {
opacity: 0.7;
position:absolute; z-index:1; opacity: 0.7;

NOT clickable

What happens here is as follows:
The z-index property on #content and #container should be ignored, since they're not positioned.
The z-index:1 on #div_with_link works, since it is positioned. z-index defines the order of the stacking contexts within their containing stacking context.
When #container has opacity < 1, it establishes a stacking context. This means that the z-index: 1 only lifts #div_with_link above other things in #container.
However, when you change the opacity on #container to 1, it no longer establishes a new stacking context, and the z-index:1 on #div_with_link raises #div_with_link above everything else in the page.
On the other hand, when you change the opacity on #content to 1, it no longer establishes a new stacking context, but #container still does establish a new stacking context. Things that establish a new stacking context (like 'z-index:0') are above things that don't. So, again, in this case, the link becomes clickable.
Thus, our behavior is correct.
Very thanks Boris and David! It's what i want to hear.
P.S. David, I was previously mailed you this question the week before (at 14 june), the mail was probably in you spambox. =)

** Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award **
Fanatical about cricket since he was a boy, Miles Jupp would do anything to see his heroes play. But perhaps deciding to bluff his way into the press corps during England's Test series in India wasn't his best idea.
By claiming to be the cricket correspondent for BBC Scotland and getting a job with the (Welsh) Western Mail, Miles lands the press pass that will surely be the ticket to his dreams. Soon, he finds himself in cricket heaven - drinking with David Gower and Beefy, sharing bar room banter with Nasser Hussain and swapping diarrhoea stories with the Test Match Special team.
But struggling in the heat under the burden of his own fibs, reality soon catches up with Miles as he bumbles from one disaster to the next. A joyous, charming, yet cautionary tale, Fibber in the Heat is for anyone who's ever dreamt about doing nothing but watching cricket all day long.

People mobilize around simple, compelling things: an image, a story, an idea. My sister sent me a YouTube clip showing the flashmob meditators on Wall Street.
The image: the meditators are a medley of ages, colors, fashion preferences and meditation styles.
The story: they are all sitting down together to practice in a place of protest, where people are being arrested.
The idea: they make Wall Street into a place of practice, a bodhimaṇḍa.
The flashmob meditators send a clear and simple message. It is not the kind of simplicity that appeals to fundamentalists left and right. Launching the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Mao Zedong mobilized a small group of students, who called themselves the Red Guards, to attack the "Four Olds" (old customs, old culture, old habits and old ideas). This triggered five years of intense violence that ripped China's social fabric and cultural heritage to shreds. After another five years of instability the Cultural Revolution finally ended, but it shaped the China we know today.
Closer to home and Wall Street, shock jockeys on airwaves and campaign trails pump people up with fear and hatred, and then focus that energy into simple reflex reactions: anti-tax, anti-government, anti-regulation. (And worse, but let's not go there.) As most of us have noticed, those whom these mantras benefit the most are people who would never show their faces at a Tea Party rally. In the long run, the effects of the Cultural Revolution may pale in comparison to America's Cultural Civil War.
The flashmob meditators were no doubt derided as hopelessly naive by the Wall Street Olympians who looked down at the motley bunch challenging their mountains of glass and steel. Absorbed in playing with the lightning-fast cyberspace synapses of the global economic body, why would they even bother to look?
But according to Buddhist cosmology, the gods are to be pitied. Having no incentive to understand the impermanence of their eminence, they fall quickly, and far. Bruno Latour, one of my favorite sociologists, says:
The world is not a solid continent of facts sprinkled by a few lakes of uncertainties, but a vast ocean of uncertainties speckled by a few islands of calibrated and stabilized forms. Do we really know that little? We know even less. Paradoxically, this "astronomical" ignorance explains a lot of things. Why do fierce armies disappear in a week? Why do whole empires like the Soviet one vanish in a few months? ... We have to be able to consider both the formidable inertia and the incredible fluidity that maintains their existence: the latter is the real milieu that allows the former to circulate. ("Reassembling the Social," p. 245.)
The incredible fluidity that maintains existence is what Latour calls "plasma" and is also, I would argue, what Buddhists call "interdependence." Each seemingly separate thing, action and thought is a nexus of un-chartable mutually conditioned interconnections. This unbounded ocean of conditions and potentiality is entangled but has no intrinsic existence. In practice, this means: things aren't real, but consequences are.
Matter matters. What we do with our impermanent, continually reassembling bodies and minds has effects that shape the uncertainties we call self and other. This is a pivotal time: Our minds, extended by our beloved "quasi-objects" like the Internet and global economic interdependence, appear to be outgrowing our bodies.
Yet in these struggling bodies that fall so short of our imaginings, we can sit down and connect with what can't be grasped by imagination. Meditation brings together -- mind and body, simplicity and complexity, self and other. The flashmob meditators mobilized as a group, and words can be said about what they were doing. But meditation also resists enclosure into a single idea. Meditators sit down and cease feeding the cycles of fear, anger and desire. Instead, they sit quietly with fear, anger and desire. They sit with all beings, each other, the Wall Street bankers, the protester, and the moment.
The time has come, and it always will.

City Council Grills New Peduto Appointees for Legal and Tech Teams By Liz Reid • Jan 29, 2014 Liz Reid / 90.5 WESA Mayor Bill Peduto's nominees to head the city's legal and tech teams came before City Council Wednesday. The mayor has tapped Lourdes Sanchez Ridge to be the next city solicitor, while Debra Lam is his choice for the newly created chief innovation and performance officer position. As part of that position, Lam would also be in charge of City Information Services, but she said it's not primarily a technology position. Concerns About Land Bank Legislation Aired in City Council By Liz Reid • Jan 22, 2014 Pittsburgh City Council had their first opportunity to discuss Deb Gross's proposed land bank legislation as a group on Wednesday. The bill was first introduced on Jan. 14. In a Preliminary Vote, City Council Denies Historic Status to Produce Terminal By Liz Reid • Jan 15, 2014 Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Deb Gross's controversial bill to designate the Strip District's Fruit Auction & Sales Building as a historic structure was voted down in a committee meeting today. Ahead of the vote, Gross made her case for the building one final time. "It really makes the Strip District, the Strip District. It's a defining location," said Gross. "If you're talking about where to meet, where to park, where to go. When you picture the Strip District in your mind, you see this building in your mind's eye." Peduto's Early Retirement Plan for City Employees No Longer Tied to Pensions By Liz Reid • Jan 15, 2014 Mayor Bill Peduto's early retirement plan for city employees was once again brought before City Council on Wednesday, but with one major change. "This program has nothing to do with pensions," Peduto's Chief of Staff, Kevin Acklin, told the legislative body. "It's a separate benefit that we would propose to make available to these employees if they so elect, or if their service is terminated." The change comes after rumblings that tying early retirement to pensions might not be allowed under Act 47 oversight or by the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System. With Peduto's Support, Rudiak Introduces Open Data Bill in Council By Liz Reid • Jan 14, 2014 With the support of Mayor Bill Peduto, City Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak has introduced legislation to establish a comprehensive open data ordinance for the city of Pittsburgh. If the bill passes, Pittsburgh would join New York City, San Francisco and more than a dozen other cities that have embraced public data sharing. Rudiak said in a news conference Tuesday that the ordinance would go above and beyond the current Right to Know law, which requires that government agencies provide information to the public upon request. Pittsburgh's New City Council President Focused on Open Communication By Essential Pittsburgh • Jan 7, 2014 Liz Reid / 90.5 WESA Listen Listening... / 17:37 Bruce Kraus was sworn in as the new President of the Pittsburgh City Council on Monday. Although Kraus has often been allied with former council member and now Mayor Bill Peduto, he vows to be an independent voice in city government. Moving forward, he says he's especially interested in bringing more collegiality to a somewhat factioned city council. Bruce Kraus Elected President of Pittsburgh City Council By Liz Reid • Jan 6, 2014 Liz Reid / 90.5 WESA Bruce Kraus said he couldn't get the old song "It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It's Spring)" out of his head this morning, as he prepared for the vote that would confirm him as president of the 138th Pittsburgh City Council on Monday. "It may be the coldest day that the city has seen in the last 10 to 20 years, but in our hearts it is spring, because we are experiencing a true and genuine rebirth," Kraus said. City Council to Hold Meeting on Illegal Dirt Bike and ATV Riding By Liz Reid • Jan 6, 2014 It is illegal in the state of Pennsylvania to ride dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, or ATVs, on city streets. But Carrick resident Donna Williams said that hasn't stopped a group of teenagers from tearing down Kirk Avenue on their dirt bikes and ATVs. Williams said the young men also have made a habit of riding their vehicles in Birmingham Cemetery. Gilman Says He Won't be a 'Rubber Stamp' for Former Boss Peduto By Liz Reid • Jan 3, 2014 As Bill Peduto is sworn in as mayor of Pittsburgh, his former chief of staff will move into his old City Council seat. Dan Gilman won the District 8 seat in a landslide victory in November, clinching 89 percent of the vote. District 8 includes Shadyside, Squirrel Hill North and North Oakland. Gilman, who worked with Peduto for eight years, says the relative safety and economic stability in his district will free him up to focus on other parts of the city. Who Will Be The Next Council President? By Mark Nootbaar • Jan 2, 2014 The first order of business after City Council swears in its newly elected members Jan. 6 is to choose a new president who will run the council for the next two years. The semi-annual election is always fraught with back room deals and unlikely alliances. "That vote won't be decided until five minutes before that meeting," said Jim Motznik, former Pittsburgh City Councilman (2001-2010) and current District Municipal Court Justice. Councilwoman Deb Gross Hopes to Manage Growth in East End By Liz Reid • Jan 2, 2014 Pittsburgh's newest City Council representative, Deb Gross, won out against four other candidates in a special election, after District 7 representative Patrick Dowd vacated his seat in July. Gross took her seat at the beginning of December, one of the busiest times of the year for the council. Vote on Historic Designation of Produce Terminal Delayed Again By Liz Reid • Dec 11, 2013 A vote on whether the Strip District's Fruit Auction and Sales Building should be designated as a historic structure will be delayed another week. Council's newest member, Deb Gross, represents the Strip District, and is in favor of preserving the building to the fullest extent possible. "Having said the word 'preserve,' everyone understands that some modifications are going to be needed to that property in order for it to achieve a positive function in the Strip District and a positive function in the business mix," Gross said. With Council Approval, Red Light Cameras Are Coming to Pittsburgh By Liz Reid • Dec 10, 2013 Pittsburghers who have a habit of cutting it close when driving through yellow lights may want to make some adjustments. City Council passed a bill Tuesday to install automated red light enforcement systems, also known as "red light cameras," at the city's most dangerous intersections. Councilman and Mayor-elect Bill Peduto said he was supportive of the legislation, and that he had introduced a similar bill several years ago. Demonstrators To Call On Peduto, City Council To Keep Pittsburgh A 'Human Rights City' By Michael Lynch • Dec 9, 2013 Eight state and local organizations are coming together to put the issue of human rights on the minds of Pittsburghers. Demonstrators are expected to gather outside downtown's City-County Building Tuesday on International Human Rights Day to call on City Council and Mayor-elect Bill Peduto to ensure Pittsburgh's future as the 5th "Human Rights City" in the U.S. In April 2011, City Council issued a proclamation declaring Pittsburgh to be a" Human Rights City"—meaning its citizens strive toward bettering the city's living conditions. Does City's Tech Team Have the Resources to Implement Peduto's Data-Driven Approach? By Liz Reid • Dec 5, 2013 Mayor-elect Bill Peduto and his team have repeatedly said they want to implement a data-driven approach to governance, but in Tuesday's budget hearing, questions arose as to whether City Information Systems, or CIS, has the resources to provide the kind of data the future mayor will need. CIS is responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including, but not limited to, network administration, website development and maintenance, software development, voice and data communications and operating the 311 response center. Urban Redevelopment Authority Facing Massive Cuts in 2014 By Liz Reid • Dec 4, 2013 Pittsburgh's Urban Redevelopment Authority is facing massive cuts under Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's proposed 2014 budget. At a City Council budget hearing on Tuesday, Robert Rubenstein, acting executive director of the URA, said he was disappointed with the proposed budget's $2.2 million cut to the authority's budget. Pittsburgh City Council Delays Early Retirement Vote By Mark Nootbaar • Dec 3, 2013 At the request of the Peduto transition team, the Pittsburgh City Council opted Tuesday to wait at least another week before voting on an early retirement offer. Debate last week indicated that the vote would have been close and that there were still several unresolved issues. Jockeying Begins For the Role of City Council President By Katie Martin • Dec 2, 2013 pittsburghpa.gov Listen Listening... / 15:36 As Bill Peduto gets set to take over the mayor's office, in Pittsburgh City Council the jockeying to overtake Darlene Harris as president has begun. Pittsburgh City Paper editor Chris Potter says in his opinion, the three likely candidates would be Harris, Ricky Burgess and Bruce Kraus. While both Burgess and Kraus bring more diversity to a position that has been predominantly heterosexual and white, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review writer Nafari Vanaski says the focus should be on their credentials, not just the fact that they represent minority groups. Budget Director: City Needs $20 Million in Additional Revenue By Liz Reid • Nov 26, 2013 City Council Monday held a hearing with Budget Director Bill Urbanic. The takeway: The city is doing OK, but it could do better. Urbanic said the city's margin between revenues and expenditures is "razor thin." "We've addressed many of the underlying problems in the last few years, with the help of Act 47 oversight," Urbanic said. "The 2014 budget shows we're staying balanced, as usual, but revenue is still going to be an issue, now and into the near future. We need at least $20 million annually." Peduto's Early Retirement Plan for City Employees Moves Forward By Liz Reid • Nov 26, 2013 Mayor-elect Bill Peduto saw his plan to offer early retirement to some city employees move forward in City Council Monday. The plan would allow 136 city employees, whose age plus years of employment equals 70 years, to begin collection their pensions early. Currently that number has to equal 80. The employees must also be at least 50 years old and have no less than 8 years of service to the city. Peduto says this is all part of his vision for a major shakeup at City Hall. Gilman, Rudiak, Smith, Lavelle Gain Voter Approval By Mark Nootbaar • Nov 6, 2013 Pittsburgh City Council will get two new faces as a result of Tuesday's election. One is a political outsider, the other is no stranger to Grant Street. The voters of District 8 overwhelmingly chose Democrat Dan Gilman (89 percent) to represent the district over Republican Mordecai D. Treblow (10 percent). Gilman is the chief of staff for current District 8 Councilman Bill Peduto, who opted not to run so he could focus on his mayoral campaign. Gillman said he knows this will not be an easy job. Deb Gross Clinches District 7 City Council Seat By Liz Reid • Nov 5, 2013 Liz Reid / 90.5 WESA District 7 has been without a City Council representative since Patrick Dowd vacated the seat in July to serve as executive director of the new nonprofit Allies for Children. Though it seemed like it could have been a close race between Democrat Deb Gross and Independent Tony Ceoffe, her party's nomination and the endorsement of now mayor-elect Bill Peduto served as enough to push Gross over the top. In the end, Gross was able to carry the district with more than 60 percent of the vote. Five Candidates Vie for Open Seat on Pittsburgh City Council By Liz Reid • Nov 4, 2013 pittsburghpa.gov The race for the District 7 Pittsburgh City Council seat looks to be wide open heading into the election Tuesday. Five candidates are vying for the spot vacated by Patrick Dowd in July. Politically, the candidates are as diverse as the district. A Democrat, a Libertarian, and a handful of independents all want to represent District 7, which runs from the Strip District to Highland Park and includes Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Polish Hill, Friendship, Morningside, and Stanton Heights. Strip District Redevelopment PPS Board of Directors, City Council Face Off Over School Closures By Liz Reid • Oct 14, 2013 Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith is calling for a moratorium on school closures in the Pittsburgh Public Schools district until the end of the 2014-15 school year. She has introduced a resolution in council that would recommend the PPS Board of Directors halt any school closings. At a rally in front of council chambers Monday morning, Kail-Smith invited parents, students, teachers, and community organizers to express their concern over a possible fourth round of school closures since the early 2000s. City Council Passes Bill to Outsource Secondary Employment of Police Officers By Liz Reid • Oct 1, 2013 The Special Events Office at the Pittsburgh Police Department will officially no longer schedule secondary employment of officers, nor will it handle payment for such employment. Pittsburgh City Council passed a bill Tuesday that will outsource both duties to the North Carolina-based company Cover Your Assets. The change comes after allegations that some officers received preferential treatment from the other officers who scheduled the moonlighting gigs. All City Departments May Soon Accept Credit Cards By Liz Reid • Oct 1, 2013 This winter, you may finally be able to pay for your ice skating at Schenley Skating Rink or your indoor swim at Oliver Bath House with a credit card. Pittsburgh City Council passed a resolution Tuesday recommending that all city departments begin accepting credit and debit cards. "Most governments have already come around to using debit cards and credit cards, but the city (of Pittsburgh) hasn't," said City Council President Darlene Harris. "This will bring the city into the 21st century." Seldom Used Parking Ordinance Causes Confusion in Squirrel Hill By Katie Blackley • Sep 26, 2013 Nothlit / Flickr Listen Listening... / 18:33 After living in his Squirrel Hill home for 18 years, Dr. Jeff Freedman was surprised to receive a letter from the Bureau of Building Inspection asking him to acquire a Certificate of Occupancy. When he visited the specified location said to provide the certificate, he was told the document was unattainable. Thanks to a 1958 ordinance in Squirrel Hill, many residents are finding parking tickets on vehicles parked in their own driveways. Discussing Municipal Bans on Fracking By Heather McClain • Sep 24, 2013 Natasha Khan / PublicSource Listen Listening... / 35:50 In 2010, Pittsburgh was the first municipality in the nation to institute a ban on hydraulic fracturing. Many others have followed suit, including the boroughs of Baldwin, West Homestead and Wilkinsburg, as well as State College, PA. Now citizens in Youngstown, Ohio are looking at the structure of Pittsburgh's fracking ban in shaping a their own ordinances. PublicSource reporter Natasha Khan recently wrote about the ongoing debates in Youngstown as it pertains to jobs and environmental concerns. Opponents of the Youngstown ban say it's unconstitutional for a municipality to regulate beyond state and federal law. Similar objections have also been raised in Pennsylvania. Bill to Create Registry of Abandoned Properties in Pittsburgh Advances By Liz Reid • Sep 18, 2013 A bill to create a registry of abandoned properties in the city of Pittsburgh received preliminary approval in City Council Wednesday and is expected to receive final approval next week. Councilman Daniel Lavelle introduced the legislation in July and said there are more than 400 foreclosed, bank-owned properties in the city. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 next › last »
