What do reviewers think? I'm glad you asked!
"Readers will love the seamless blend of suspense, humor, and romance set against an interstellar landscape. Dual narratives and a tightly plotted mystery keep the suspense running high, and the chemistry between Aelyx and Cara smolders." –Booklist
"Excellent character development and integration between modern reality and science fiction. Teens will be rooting for the galactic couple while enjoying the action and suspense that runs through the two volumes." –School Library Journal
"The protagonists' forced separation gives greater depth to their romance. Each learns to turn a critical eye upon the flaws of their native societies while confronting genuine obstacles to a future together. These complications only underscore the growing sense of menace that propels the narrative to an action-packed climax." –Kirkus
I hope you'll make tracks to the nearest bookstore and pick up a copy of INVADED! If you're snowed in, here are some easy links to bring the sequel right to you:
Publisher: Disney-Hyperion (February 3rd 2015)
Hardcover: 368 pages
Series: Alienated #2
Add on: Goodreads
The romantic sequel to Alienated takes long-distance relationships to a new level as Cara and Aelyx long for each other from opposite ends of the universe…until a threat to both their worlds reunites them.
Cara always knew life on planet L'eihr would be an adjustment. With Aelyx, her L'eihr boyfriend, back on Earth, working to mend the broken alliance between their two planets, Cara is left to fend for herself at a new school, surrounded by hostile alien clones. Even the weird dorm pet hates her.
Things look up when Cara is appointed as human representative to a panel preparing for a human colony on L'eihr. A society melding their two cultures is a place where Cara and Aelyx could one day make a life together. But with L'eihr leaders balking at granting even the most basic freedoms, Cara begins to wonder if she could ever be happy on this planet, even with Aelyx by her side.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Aelyx, finds himself thrown into a full-scale PR campaign to improve human-L'eihr relations. Humans don't know that their very survival depends on this alliance: only Aelyx's people have the technology to fix the deadly contamination in the global water supply that human governments are hiding. Yet despite their upper hand, the leaders of his world suddenly seem desperate to get humans on their side, and hardly bat an eye at extremists' multiple attempts on Aelyx's life.
The Way clearly needs humans' help . . . but with what? And what will they ask for in return?

|We demonstrate a method of imaging spatially varying magnetic fields using a thin layer of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers at the surface of a diamond chip. Fluorescence emitted by the two-dimensional NV ensemble is detected by a CCD array, from which a vector magnetic field pattern is reconstructed. As a demonstration, ac current is passed through wires placed on the diamond chip surface, and the resulting ac magnetic field patterns are imaged using an echo-based technique with sub-micron resolution over a \(140 \mu m\) x \(140 \mu m\) field of view, giving single-pixel sensitivity \(\sim 100 nT / \sqrt{Hz}\). We discuss ongoing efforts to further improve the sensitivity, as well as potential bioimaging applications such as real-time imaging of activity in functional, cultured networks of neurons.

NORFOLK — President Bush announced Tuesday he would nominate U.S. Magistrate Rebecca Beach Smith for the vacant federal judgeship in Norfolk. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, she would become the first woman to sit on the federal bench in Virginia.
The expected announcement by Bush follows her recommendation for the vacant post by Sen. John Warner, R-Va., in March.
"In the 11 years I've been providing presidents with recommendations for the federal judiciary, I have never experienced a candidate who garnered wider or more genuine endorsements from his or her professional peers," Warner said in a prepared statement.

More e-retailers are sending e-mails to consumers who've added products to their online shopping carts but then left without buying. 19% of retailers listed in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide and Second 500 Guide, which collectively rank the top 1000 e-retailers in North America by sales, send at least one cart abandonment e-mail. That's up from 14.6% that did so in 2011, according to e-mail marketing vendor Listrak.
Listrak's annual analysis of the cart abandonment e-mail practices of the Top 1000 retailers show that smaller retailers in particular stepped up their use of e-mail to encourage consumers to return and purchase. 18.8% of Second 500 retailers now send at least one cart abandonment message, up from 10.7% that did so in 2011. That puts the use of such messages among the Second 500 at just about par with the 19.4% of Top 500 retailers that follow up abandoned carts with marketing e-mail.
Retailers also are sending messages closer to the time of cart abandonment. 58.7% of larger retailers and 75.3% of smaller retailers send a message encouraging consumers to return within the first 24 hours. That's up 14.8% for larger retailers and 5.9% for smaller retailers since 2011. Listrak says second and third messages, if retailers send them, also are being sent earlier. The number of retailers sending a second e-mail increased 7.6% and the number sending a third e-mail increased 207% between 2011 and 2012.
"We find it encouraging that many retailers are sending two or three re-targeting emails, rather than relying on a single message," says Ross Kramer, Listrak CEO. "A three-message series is a best practice and something we recommend that every retailer consider."
Fewer e-retailers are including discounts in their cart-abandonment messages. The analysis shows a 17% decrease in offers made in the first message, a 5.4% decrease in the second and a 7.6% decrease in the third message.
"It is promising to see that fewer retailers are offering discounts in the shopping cart recovery e-mails, especially in the first message," Kramer says. Including a discount right off the bat may encourage consumers to intentionally abandon a cart if they expect a discount offer to arrive shortly thereafter, and that impacts profits. "We are strong advocates of the discount ladder approach, which is not including an offer in the first message, offering a small discount in the second message, and increasing the offer in the third message, because it protects profit margins and maximizes profitability."

3 Visuelle Kultur der Stadt | LVA: 264.094
Tallinn, Telliskivi Creative City, 2017
Dr. HELGE MOOSHAMMER
LVA: 264.094 Visuelle Kultur der Stadt VU 2.0h/2,5ECTS
LV-Beginn: Di, 17. Oktober 2017, 16-20 Uhr
Ort: Seminarraum 264/1, Karlsgasse 13
THE PLATFORM CITY: Innovation hubs
In the course "Urban Visual Culture" we will specifically look at the urban dimensions involved in the creation of "innovation hubs". Through case studies in Vienna and other cities, we will analyse how hybrid urban lifestyle enclaves promoting start-up culture are strategically launched to create new centres of gravity for global equity capital. Produced by small groups of 2-3 students, these case studies will form an important source for the multi-dimensional mapping project, highlighting how carefully curated architectural arrangements combine (or pretend to combine) with certain social values. Our aim is to develop a profound understanding of how a distinct form of architecture participates in furnishing culturally attractive zones that simultaneously function as entrepreneurially benevolent climates.

Disruptive Technologies, Innovation Hubs and the Passion Economy
Projekteinführung: Mo, 16. Oktober 2017, 10-11.30 Uhr
Ort: Seminarraum 264/1, Karlsgasse 13
Continuing our engagement with questions of BUILDING CAPITAL, this year we will link up the courses "Contemporary Culture", "Urban Visual Culture", "Regimes of the Visual" and "New Models of Culture and Art Production" to jointly investigate, both analytically and practically, the neoliberal imperative of "city" as "platform". Using texts, visual material and case studies, we will explore the dynamics and contradictions in today's constellation of capitalist economy, innovation technology, artistic creativity and urban production.
As the composition of economic growth has now shifted toward knowledge-based creative ventures (cloud-based software, social media, mobile applications, etc.), cities around the world are outcompeting each other to attract a strong talent pool of young creatives and innovators in the hope that venture capital will follow in their wake, resulting in crops of fast-growing companies. Successful campaigns often include the invention of new architectural typologies evoking notions of co-working and co-living to suggest a febrile atmosphere of creativity and entrepreneurship. Revolving around "urban rooms", communal spaces and pop-up entertainment, these new architectures focus on the creation of fluid circulation and meeting spaces so that the incoming human capital (millennials and tech professionals) can be "put to work" - interacting and exchanging with investment patrons, clients, customers and peers alike.
The coordinated exchange between the different courses will allow us to address this new form of speculative urbanism from a range of different theoretical and practical perspectives, interrogating ongoing shifts in political thinking, economic frameworks, global connectivity, communication channels, cultural aspirations, as well as building technologies and architectural practices.
To connect these different aspects, we will work across the different courses on a multi-dimensional mapping project that can make tangible the plurality of actors, forces and ideas involved in realising the "Platform City". As a distinctive relation between governmental action and spatial aesthetics is key to this new urban paradigm, in a second step we will seek to develop analytical tools of "architectural reading". Our objective is to develop ways of navigating the civic, social and cultural implications of this speculative approach to city-building, which champions the creation of disruptive "situations" and in which the process is deemed to be more important than the results.

Uday Joshi -The Waters of New Mexico
Uday Joshi currently resides in New Mexico and works hard at his job and focuses on the laws and policies associated with water development in that area. He understands the geology, hydrology, policy, and law that goes into water development, and can guarantee results for the desired goal. Through much schooling and experience, he is very well equipped to handle any of the circumstances that may arise as he strives to meet his goal and implement healthy water regulations that are not in effect.
Uday Joshi Massachusetts has a passion for our natural resource of water. He has studied various topics that surround the issues of water, and he specializes in issues such as watershed health, modernized water infrastructure, water delivery to rural communities, and the modernization of technology to help our water affect us in a more positive way.
His aim is to use his hard-earned skill set and foster the development and modernization of water storage, including aquifer storage and recovery. Joshi also wants to rebuild the city's water infrastructure and thus reduce water loss, which could otherwise lead to an economic loss. This process can help ensure a long term sustainability of both the rural and the urban communities. Through many years of hard work, faith, and rebuilding, he can feel the pressure building to get it done, and to get it done well.

Why use CDR Assessments for Selection Screening?
It is pretty simple — if you seek to screen in the best-fit, highest performing candidates, then you need to use CDR Assessments. Our tools separate the best-fits from the miss-fits.
Let's face it — in today's challenging business climate, hiring mistakes are costly. We help clients identify the best talent quickly and reduce the hefty toll of getting it wrong.
Our tools are designed and validated to predict performance and to pinpoint critical personality and motivational characteristics that impact one's ability to be successful in a specific job. Without this objective assessment information, the selection process (including in-depth targeted interviews and even test problem-solving scenarios) often falls short. Without CDR Assessments, the best intentions often reap poor results.
Interviews, performance reviews, and other similar observation selection techniques give the hiring team clues as to what types of behaviors are demonstrated within a fairly controlled context. CDR Assessments provide a more authentic view of the candidate by getting past self-marketing to objectively provide relevant information on what matters most to being successful in a given job.

Here is a FREE download for a project for students to collaborate using Google Classroom, Google Slides, and Google Drawings. Topic: Understanding Two-Dimensional Shape Properties: Quadrilaterals Standard: 5.G.3b Student Slide Example: Self-Paced Directions and… More
Summer Challenge! PATTERNS
Summer is BUSY and so are PATTERNS! Challenge your child to create patterns based on color, size, shape, and category out of toys, kitchen utensils, treats, and more. Increase difficulty for older kids.
Here is an example of a color pattern I gave my son:
He had to continue the color pattern (not sizes).
This excercise reinforced his knowledge of colors and challenged him to follow the rule of pattern!
Here is a list of ideas to help you come up with your own patterns:
- Blocks
- Legos
- Tupperware
- Lids
- Spoons and forks
- Candy
- Shapes
- Balls
- Puzzle pieces

A Clever Way To Understand AREA
The idea behind AREA is a basic concept that most students, and even adults, don't understand. Most people know to label area with square units such as 30 square feet. But WHY?
The area of a shape or room is simply describing how many actual squares (measured by feet, meters, or another unit) that fit inside the shape. Most students learn that area is what's "inside the shape" but they don't connect it with the physical squares it takes to fill it up.
For example, if a living room measures 10ft by 12ft, the area is 120 sq ft. That means 120 squares that are a foot by a foot would fit inside like a PUZZLE.
Here is a great way to start piecing together a PUZZLE that demonstrates the foundation of AREA!
These foam pieces connect to make a rectangle measuring 2 pieces by 3 pieces. It's area is 6 sq. pieces. Meaning, to fill the shape it would take 6 squares, which can be easily observed.
Here is another example using foam mats. This rectangle is measuring 3 pieces by 4 pieces giving it's area 12 sq. pieces. Have your child count the actual squares connected, which should come to 12!
Look for other examples of area using squares!

5 Tips To Raise Your Child To Like Math
Having a good attitude is essential in being successful with math! Start now and use these strategies to raise your child to not HATE math but LIKE it!
1. Apply It; Use It– A topic is never interesting if it doesn't have a purpose. For example, use cooking to demonstrate fractions, money for decimals, the grocery store for unit rate, toys for counting, real-life shapes for geometry, and more. Make sure YOU are doing math so your child can see how practical and helpful it is.
2. Encourage trial and error- Growth in math relies on failing. Failure is GOOD in math if you learn from it! My students learn more when they fail and are interested in fixing what they did wrong than those who just want to be right and move on. Give your child a challenge, let them try FIRST, then give them tools to try AGAIN, and lastly walk through the correct way to solve the problem.
For example, I was working with my son on identifying his numbers. He saw the picture of 9 and couldn't tell me the number. I told him to try it. He said, "Well, it's green." I told him that's true and to try to remember the number again. He said "Six?". I replied, "I see why you think that looks like 6 but that's not it". We started counting and I stopped at 8. He continued to 9 and said that's it.
3. It's not about you- Let me say it again, it is not about you! Make sure you're not setting an example of a BAD attitude!!!! It doesn't matter if you hate math or were not good at it. STOP talking badly about math!
4. Related to something interesting- I had a student a few years ago who was a fanatic about a certain TV show. He knew every fact about the characters and episodes. I would translate test questions about fractions and decimals and use the characters from the show. His brain took off like a wildfire and the problem seemed less foreign to him.
5. Get physical- Model or demonstrate a math problem as much as possible. Visuals and hands on practice are vital to exploring, understanding, and retaining math concepts.

Using LEGOS to Introduce Fractions!
Legos are wonderful toys that can be used for more than building. They can be used for counting, color ratios, AND as an introduction to fractions.
Before we start we need to understand that what we call a "whole" can vary. For example, if you offer someone a whole candy bar one person might think of a King Size and someone else might think of a Fun Size. With Legos, we can count each color as a whole or a single unit (1, 2, 3…). We can also change the unit we are counting by (1/3, 2/3, 3/3).
Here is a basic example of using Legos to talk about fractions.
This example illustrates equivalent fractions.
Here is one more to get you thinking about making fractions out of toys!

Shapes! Call Them By Their Names
Just before my son's 2nd Birthday we were at the park. He pointed to these canopies and said, "Look! Pyramids." I was a proud math mama!
Start now and have your child learn and say the CORRECT names of 2D and 3D shapes. Call them by what they actually are. Kids can pick up on them just as easily. Here are the most common shapes you'll see with your kids and their toys.
These shapes can be found in your child's toys, books, at the park, at a restaurant, and more. Take the opportunity to teach them to your child the correct vocabulary.
Here is my son building his 3D shapes!

8 Counting Activities for Your Toddler
There are opportunities everywhere to make counting a game and begin teaching important basic math skills. Counting activities lead to modeling on number lines which is a large part of Common Core Math taught in school. The main purpose of a number line is to model counting whether it's by 5's or by fractions. Therefore, it's essential for kids start at an early age.
- Shapes– Shapes are everywhere! It's easy to count specific shapes with your child when traveling or in a restaurant.
- Candy– For obvious reasons, kids love to count candy. Candy can be used as an incentive to get young kids to start counting. Challenge them not to eat until they have finished a task. This leads to the idea of subtraction! Literally! Eating and taking away candy is the basic idea for subtraction. It's gone; we no longer count it.
- Balls– Make it a physical game! Challenge your child to throw 5 balls as fast as they can. Count with them as they throw.
- Cups– My son loves stacking cups. Build a pyramid and count as you go. Talk about the pattern made with each level.
- Crayons– Crayons can again be used to count by color. Also, Crayons usually come in large packs and are great to start to count to 20. Try introducing them to counting by 2 or 5 crayons at a time.
- Non-Toys– My son and I spend time all around the house like in the bathroom. I let him play with items like Q-tips and cotton balls. I'll ask him to count 3 items and put them in a basket.
- Books– Before bed we always read. I'll choose a number for the night and that's how many books he gets to pick to read.
- Picking up toys– My son loves to help me clean. I will challenge him to pick up a certain number of toys. Then, I will have him choose a number of toys I should clean up as well. We'll take turns counting and cleaning!
Make all opportunities COUNT!

Why I LOVE Area Models!
Area models come from the basic idea of solving for area. They are a wonderful tool for younger students to do multi-digit multiplication problems (for example 14 x 17). They develop student understanding of multiplication, place value, and the distributive property that is later used in Algebra.
I did not learn area models in school but I swear by them with my students and can't wait for my children to do them!
Let's review the basic idea of area. If I want to put tile down in my bathroom and it measures 5ft by 6ft. We multiply 5 x 6 and 30 total square feet.
Here is the model of this situation. It shows 6 feet extended across and 5 feet extended down. When they overlap they create 30 squares that are a foot by a foot. This example is an area model.
Here is an examples of a double-digit multiplication problem solved with an area model. This example can be done by students starting in 3rd grade. I know it is not the fastest way but it teaches students understanding and skills they can use when problems get more difficult. By 6th grade they will learn to do it the traditional method, which yes, is more efficient.
Let's solve 14 x 17.
First, setup a square just like real life area problems.
Take each number, 14 and 17, and break them down by place value. 14 becomes 10 and 4 and 17 becomes 10 and 7.
Just like with the bathroom floor problem, we are going to extend each number and draw 4 boxes. Inside each box will be the answer of the over lapping multiplication problem.
We first solve 10 x 7 and write 70. Then multiply 10 by 10 to get 100. (This idea represents an Algebra concept called distribution. We have distributed the 10 to 7 and 10.)
Next we are going to multiply 4 by 7 to get 28 and 4 by 10 to get 40. Answers go in each box.
Lastly! We add up all the answers we got from multiplying. These answers are called products.
238 is the same answer we would get if we did it the traditional way.

Ratio Tables 101
Ratio Tables are my FAVORITE math thing to do and to teach! They are an invaluable tool for ALL students. They can be intimidating to work with at first and therefore, require practice.
Ratio Tables can be used for:
- Solving fractions (fractions are ratios!)
- Organizing your work
- Brainstorming how to solve a problem
The basics of Ratio Tables can be helpful later when your child is doing:
- Coordinate Planes
- Functions
- All Fraction Operations
Here is an example of using a Ratio Table when working with a recipe.
Ratio Tables use multiplication and division operations. As well as adding and subtracting groups of ratios. You might see ratio tables more complex with decimals and fractions within them. I will show those next time!
Here is another example. This table shows equivalent ratios, which are the same thing as fractions. 4/6 is equal to 2/3 and 12/18 by scaling down (division) or scaling up (multiplication).
The COOLEST part of ratios tables is you can combine, or add, any equal ratios from the table, like 2/3 and 12/18, to get another equal ratio, 14/21.

MATH Scavenger Hunt For Busy Kids
As a mom of a busy toddler, I'm always looking for ways to engage him. My son loves to be challenged with scavenger hunts. Of course, I put a math twist on it!
Simply have your child go find math related items in their room. (This could be played at a restaurant or other location of the well.) Here is a list of ideas for kids to find:
- Shapes
- A certain number of objects
- Objects with actual numbers on them
Here are some other ideas to add to your game!
- Offer a reward such as a treat or 10 minutes of cartoons
- Make it a relay game by timing your child or setting up a running obstacle course as they find each object
- Make it a timed race against other kids
- Make it more of "Hide and Seek" with objects
Here is a printable of different 2D and 3D shapes! SHAPES PRINTABLE
Ready? Set? Go!

BEST App for Modeling Fractions
I have the luxury of having iPads in my classroom. The app, Virtual Manipulatives! (VM), makes teaching fractions more interactive for students and it's FREE!
VM offers students fractions bars at their finger tips to create and compare. Fractions can be written as percents and decimals as well.
Here is an example of what a 4th or 5th grader will have to solve. Adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
They have to find a common denominator in order to solve. There are some algorithm steps to solving this but learning to model it first is key to understanding the "why".
To model this example:
- Drag a 1/3 and 1/4 fraction bar
- Decide what both fractions can be set equal to; in this case twelvthes (1/12)
- 1/3 becomes 4 of the 1/12
- 1/4 becomes 3 of the 1/12
- Now add how many 1/12 there are
- Answer is 7/12
Additionally, the app can be used to compare fractions, decimals, and percents. (A common mistake I see in older kids is the idea of percents being the same as whole numbers. For example, some students think 25% is the same as 25. IT IS NOT!)
For a younger child, this is a great way to introduce the concept of having less than one. Taking half of something can be reinforced at a young age in many situations.
This app is a great tool for parents to help their child. Virtual Manipulatives! is a must!

When your caring role changes or ends
Looking after someone may be a large and significant part of your life, but often your caring role will change over time, and may come to an end. This may be because the person you are looking after has recovered and no longer needs care, because they can no longer be cared for at home or because they have died.
We have set out below some of the different ways in which your caring role may change or end, and outlined some of the practical, financial and emotional considerations to be aware of as these changes take place.
This information applies to people living in England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland
Life after caring
The end of your caring role may take some time to adjust to. Having more time to yourself may give you the opportunity for a much needed rest, but it can also leave you feeling that you have a lot of time to fill.
Losing someone close to you can be devastating. If you have been caring for that person, the loss can seem even greater. How you process your feelings about the death of the person you looked after is a very personal thing.
End of life planning
When someone is nearing the end of life they may want to consider and plan how they will be looked after at this time.
Residential care
If the person you are looking after is no longer able to live independently at home because their care needs have increased, and for whatever reason you can no longer provide the care they need, residential care can be a sensible and realistic option.

Over the next five years, home prices are expected to appreciate 3.22% per year on average and to grow by 17.3% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics' most recent Home Price Expectation Survey.
So, what does this mean for homeowners and their equity position?
As an example, let's assume a young couple purchased and closed on a $250,000 home in January. If we look at only the projected increase in the price of that home, how much equity will they earn over the next 5 years?
https://d2d6tznlfad433.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20170306-STM-ENG-400x300.jpg 400w, https://d2d6tznlfad433.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20170306-STM-ENG-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px">
Since the experts predict that home prices will increase by 4.4% this year alone, the young homeowners will have gained $11,000 in equity in just one year.
Over a five-year period, their equity will increase by nearly $43,000! This figure does not even take into account their monthly principal mortgage payments. In many cases, home equity is one of the largest portions of a family's overall net worth.
Bottom Line
Not only is homeownership something to be proud of, but it also offers you and your family the ability to build equity you can borrow against in the future. If you are ready and willing to buy, find out if you are able to today!

The Final Nail in the ICTY's Coffin
So, it's official: the ICTY Trial Chamber has decided to let Judge Niang replace Judge Harhoff on the Seselj case:
The Trial Chamber on Friday issued a decision on the continuation of the proceedings in the case of Vojislav Šešelj, following the disqualification of Judge Frederik Harhoff and appointment of Judge Mandiaye Niang to the Bench.
The Chamber unanimously ordered that the proceedings would resume from the point after the closing arguments, and move into the deliberations phase as soon as Judge Niang has familiarized himself with the file. The Trial Chamber will issue a decision once this has been completed.
The Chamber agreed that a new judge is able to assess witness testimony given in his absence through other means, including video recordings. Consequently, the Chamber concluded that Judge Niang will be thus able to evaluate the credibility of witnesses heard during the proceedings in the Šešelj case, and familiarise himself with the record of the proceedings to a satisfactory degree.
The Prosecution argued that that the trial should continue at the deliberation stage, after Judge Niang familiarises himself with the existing case record. The Prosecution claimed that such a solution would not be unprecedented in the Tribunal's practice, pointing to the trial of Slobodan Milosevic where Judge Bonomy replaced Judge May.
The ICTY has yet to release an English translation of the decision, but Dov Jacobs notes on twitter that the Trial Chamber claims allowing Judge Niang to participate in deliberations, despite not hearing a single witness or item of evidence, is "in the interest of justice." By "in the interests of justice," of course, the Trial Chamber means "in the interests of conviction," because there is nothing remotely just about permitting a judge to decide the fate of an individual whose trial he did not attend for even a single day.
Alas, that is only one of many absurdities in the case. As I have pointed out before, the Tribunal is appointing Judge Niang pursuant to a rule of procedure, Rule 15bis, that applies only to "part heard" cases. But applying the rule as written would prevent Seselj from being convicted, so the Tribunal is simply ignoring what it says. And, of course, the OTP is playing its part by invoking the dreaded Milosevic case as precedent, conveniently ignoring the fact that Judge Bonomy was appointed to replace Judge May before the defence began its case in chief, a situation that — unlike Seselj's — is actually covered by Rule 15bis.
But don't worry, Judge Niang is supposedly going to spend the next six months "assess[ing] witness testimony given in his absence through other means, including video recordings," and will thus be able to "familiarise himself with the record of the proceedings to a satisfactory degree." Of course he will: it's not like the trial lasted 175 days, involved 81 witnesses, included 1,380 exhibits, and generated more than 18,000 pages of trial transcript (a mere 100 pages of transcript per day, assuming Judge Niang never takes a day off and fits his reading in around the hundreds of hours of witness testimony he will need to watch).
I've always defended the legitimacy of the ICTY — even after experiencing first-hand in the Karadzic case how unfair the Tribunal can be at times. But no longer. Unless the Appeals Chamber does the right thing, this latest decision will forever tarnish both the ICTY's legacy and international criminal justice more generally.

Interesting timing. ICC says defendants must be present for trial; ICTY says judges don't have to.
"Unless the Appeals Chamber does the right thing, this latest decision will forever tarnish both the ICTY's legacy…"
What in your view is "the right thing" to do then? Retrial? The trial has been going on for over 6 years now and if it is to start from scratch, with possible more contempt proceedings etc., Seselj will most certainly be the last defendnat to get a verdict from this Tribunal and the person with longest detention history at Scheveningen (over ten years already). We know where this road will take us – to the inevitable (and this time well-earned) criticism on Seselj's right to a fair trial within reasonable time etc.
Not to open old debates we've had, but the broad and unconvicing interpretation of Judge Harhoff's alleged bias in this case has only served to create a real problem. Now this is where I would use the "digging yourself deeper" metaphour that you coined in one of your previous posts… 🙂
Usually, before discussing judicial decisions, I actually read them (or wait for the translation if I don't understand the language). It's a good method, which every lawyer should take to heart. Relying on a press release for going all out after the Tribunal on the other hand is not so helpful.
In this case, actual knowledge of the matter you are writing about would include the fact that Seselj had not put on a defense case. So the situation is indeed similar to to the Milosevic case where Judge Bonomy came onboard after the presentation of the prosecution evidence but before the start of the defense case. And that case was clearly much bigger than Seselj's. Now, I understand if you disagree with this in principle (and there are many questions that hopefully will be resolved by the Appeals Chamber) but it's important that you get your facts straight.
Finally, if you had read the decision, you would have seen that the Chamber (at least the majority) seems to rely on Rule 54 (no specific mention of Rules 15bis/15 — but see the separate opinions).
It's one thing to be critical and I agree with some of your criticisms, but it's important base the criticism on something that you have actually read.
There is no similarity whatsoever between Milosevic and Seselj — Bonomy was present for half of the evidence in the former; Niang was present for none of the evidence in the latter. That Seselj chose not to present a defence is irrelevant to whether the case was part heard.
If you have followed the Seselj case, you are aware that Judge Niang was appointed pursuant to Rule 15bis. I hope the Chamber isn't relying on Rule 54 in the decision — it is, of course, a "general rule" that says a Trial Chamber "may issue such orders, summonses, subpoenas, warrants and transfer orders as may be necessary for the purposes of an investigation or for the preparation or conduct of the trial." That would be even worse than a deliberate misapplication of Rule 15bis.
Umm. Both Judge Bonomy and Judge Niang were not present in the prosecution phase of their respective cases. There was a defence case in Milosevic, for which Bonomy was present. There was NO defence case in Seselj. So in that sense, even the other two judges were not present for the defence case, because there was NONE. Not quite sure then what you mean by "half the case". Only difference is that Judge Niang was not present for closing arguments, which, in my view, is not that grave, given that closing arguments don't require the same from a judge than a testifying witness.
And yes, I have followed the case. Hence my suggestion that you read a decision, understand its reasoning and THEN make your criticism. A "hope" that a Chamber would have relied on some or the other is not so helpful in this context…
While we are on the topic of being reasonable, how about someone tell that French judge in the trial chamber to stop being such a pain about his language and draft in one we can all understand. I have some basic understanding of French but it is not enough to get me through court decisions and I can tell you very few of the lawyers here, on the ground, can understand the tribunal's decisions in French. Every time I see Antonetti's name on a court document I know I'll have to put it on hold and wait for translation.
Seriously, your argument is ridiculous. Judge Bonomy joined Milosevic in the middle of the trial. That is why the case was "part heard" when he joined. Judge Niang is joining Seselj after the end of trial. That is why the case is "entirely heard," not "part heard."
Again, the "part heard" argument depends on which Rule the Tribunal actually applies. Given the ambiguity in the Vice-President's decision and the Trial Chamber's understanding of the process, this is a difficult case to make. Ultimately, the Appeals Chamber will have to determine which Rule applies in this case.
What I am pointing out is that there is no difference between Milosevic/Seselj in fact — in each case, one judge did not hear the prosecution case. In Milosevic, that Judge then went on to hear the defence case. In Seselj there was no defence case. So why is there a difference (apart from the semantics of a "part heard" case, which again depends on which Rule – 15, 15 bis, or something else entirely is applied).
I don't have time to blog about this, but 2 brief clarifications to inform your debate with bob.
1) the decision is indeed based on Rule 54 and not Rule 15 or 15bis. This is unfortunate, but not surprising. Indeed, Antonetti has indicated from the start that he disagrees with the application of Rule 15bis to this matter (the only point with which I agree with him…). So he's trying to find another way to justify the continuation of the proceedings.
2) there is this weirdly phrase ambiguous paragraph in the decision:
"53. La Chambre note que dans le cadre de la presente affaire, les enregistrements video pourront permettre au Juge Niang d'observer le comportement des temoins 11 l'audience et d'evaluer leur credibilite. Des lors, le Juge Niang devra determiner s'il est a meme, au vu de ces enregistrements,de se familiariser avec le dossier de facon satisfaisante."
In a nutshell, this suggests that there is a possibility that Judge Niang may say at some point that the recordings of the proceedings are not sufficient for him to familiarize himself with the case, which might mean at that point that the proceedings should be terminated? Howver, Niang himself does not say that much in his separate opinion, where he suggests that if the case as it stands does not seem clear to him, he might invite the 2 other judges to reopen the debates and call back some witnesses (para. 17).
This is going to be a total circus…
In the end it depends on what the judge has missed out on. No one needs to be in court to get the full benefit of submissions, unless one wants to ask questions of counsel (which can be done by asking for further, short written submissions or a short hearing). Even as regards the evidence compromises inevitably have to be made in long trials. At any rate in many places the position has now been reached that witnesses only need to give oral testimony if their presence is required for cross-examination – otherwise their statement may be read. Even then, difficulties with availability mean that their evidence may be pre-recorded and then replayed to the court (which indeed, is the nature of what is probably the most common exhibit in a criminal trial – the video record of a police interview). In the end, if further hearings were to be confined to recalling witnesses to testify on matters on which they were cross-examined the first time, the hearings could well be much more confined.
In this case, of course, "what the judge has missed out on" is the entire trial.
Well 'the entire trial' obviously is not comprised entirely of viva voce testimony, much less viva voce testimony whose character will require the making of credibility determinations based on demeanour, etc. As to anything else, it is hard to see what difference it makes having the judge there or not.
Indeed, if witnesses are recalled, the situation could well be to Seselj's advantage. In light of the onus and standard of proof, it's normally the prosecution that has an interest in preserving the credibility of witnesses – credibility which is potentially compromised every time the witness is require to repeat a fact and thereby given the opportunity to forget, vacillate or recant. Witnesses who have given many written statements or testified previously are just fodder for cross-examination.
I suspect that the ICTY's legacy would be far more badly tarnished if an individual such as Seselj were acquitted for reasons relating to the internal politics of the Tribunal.
Further, the notion that Judges can rely on a witness' demeanor is vastly overrated in situations where the judges do not understand the language or culture. Thus, I think it is possible to make a reasoned decision on the basis of transcripts and documentary evidence although I agree that this is not the ideal set of circumstances.
Indeed, whether and to what degree demeanour really does provide a window into someone's mind is a matter of contention. One might be able to say out of hand that this new judge is necessarily unable to do their job – if only the Appeals Chamber itself was not so willing to overturn the Trial Chambers' findings of fact.
Kevin, can you give an example of how you experienced "first-hand in the Karadzic case how unfair the Tribunal can be at times?"
Chris, it may be helpful to start with this older blog post of Kevin Jon Heller. The (controversial) commentaries below it are especially worth the while, and may possibly be more insightful than posting itself:
That the decision was rendered pursuant to Rule 54 (rather than 15 bis) doesn't change the outcome of the merit analysis. The Vic-President's order suggested that that the judges apply 15 bis (mutatis mutandis(!) )– but if the judges had done so by ignoring the "part-heard case" language as the "necessary change," they, of course, wouldn't have been applying that rule—at least not in any meaningful or credible way. Choosing instead to circumvent that problem w/ 15 bis by applying54 is no less troubling (although this has happened at the Tribunal before).It's just a different (perhaps more nuanced) way of saying, "The law that really applies is problematic for us, so we're not going to apply it." Indeed if the general rule is a viable option whenever more specific rules prove inconvenient, why have any rules other than 54?
My other comment relates to the suggestion that the only issue w/ Niang joining the panel is his (in)ability to assess witness demeanor. In my view, this assessment is insufficiently narrow (and, indeed, at least w/r/t videotaped testimony, there is an argument that this is not an issue). A more concerning matter is that there is no longer a "real" 3-judge panel. In both common law and continental systems, a greater number of factfinders are used for more serious cases because of the belief that this approach is more likely to result in an accurate outcome than employing a single judge. As I explained in my assessment of Bonomy joining the Milosevic panel, this enhanced outcome is very much dependent upon the deliberative process of equals. Are we meant to believe that the deliberations in Seselj's case will re-commence w/ each judge on equal footing? Is it really feasible to believe that the new judges views will legitimately test the perspectives of the judges who were actually present throughout the course of the trial (and who have already engaged in deliberations)? If not, that leaves us with a judicial panel of two, (assuming the two original judges agree with one another). If the two original judges disagree, to which one is the new judge likely to defer?
Those are both excellent points. Your second one seems to echo Bill Schabas, who questions whether the judges will really start deliberations over (which would mean another couple of years before a verdict) or Niang will simply sign on to whatever the others decide — which would, of course, be fundamentally inconsistent with Seselj's rights, as you explain.

Benefits of In-Home Care Agencies
Today's aging population requests in-home care services more than at any other time. In-home care companies provide general supervision and assistance with personal care and handle routine daily activities including light housekeeping, meal preparation, errand running, mail sorting and many other tasks. In-home care is also often requested by new mothers and those with a short-term disability or illness until they can get on their feet again. Is an in-home care agency the right option for you? You may what to think about the following benefits:
Benefit 1 Convenience
InHomeCare.com makes it simple and easy to find a reputable in-home care company serving your area. You'll work out a schedule and a list of duties your caregiver will perform when you meet with your selected company. The company will choose the best caregiver for you to ensure the care you receive is personalized to meet your exact needs as well as your schedule.
Benefit 2 Comfort
You're able to continue living independently, in familiar surroundings because your caregiver comes to your home. It doesn't matter whether you're feeling ill or well, most people prefer the comfort of being in their home.
Benefit 3 Companionship
In-home care services can also provide you something we all need, companionship. You can have someone take care of your personal needs and your need for companionship. Most in-home care companies will match a caregiver to your personal care needs and to your personal interests.
Benefit 4 Cost-Effectiveness
You'll receive one-on-one care and attention from your caregiver that you can't get in a facility. That means greater value for every dollar. Plus, your caregiver may perform tasks previously handled by an errand service, a personal chef, a housekeeper, and someone to help you get around town. You personal caregiver can help you save money and time, too.
Benefit 5 Security
Having a professional caregiver in your home can provide an additional level of security. However, when contacting an in-home care company, first check on how the agency screens caregivers and manages their staff. Then, make sure your selected agency is properly licensed, if required by your state, insured and that its caregivers are fidelity bonded.
Benefit 6 Assurance
In-home care assures you and your family peace of mind. Many adult children of aging parents can't regularly pop-in to check on their loved ones or tend to their needs. With an agency's caregiver in the home, families are regularly updated as to the well-being of their parents. Having a personal, caring, professional caregiver in the home provides everyone peace of mind.

Terrain, or relief, is the third or vertical dimension of land surface. When relief is described underwater, the term bathymetry is used. Topography has recently become an additional synonym, though in many parts of the world it retains its original more general meaning of description of place.
Terrain is used as a general term in physical geography, referring to the lie of the land. This is usually expressed in terms of the elevation, slope, and orientation of terrain features. Terrain affects surface water flow and distribution. Over a large area, it can affect weather and climate patterns

About us
Rooftop Theatre Company brings theatre to life. Based in Ludlow, Shropshire, we offer compelling and entertaining productions that communicate the story and the drama and revel in the comedy. We love performing in alternative and unusual venues with dramatic opportunities and use professionally trained and quality amateur actors who are versatile, engaging and clear.
Company history
Our Ludlow debut was in the 2014 Ludlow Fringe Festival with The Comedy of Errors at Ludlow Brewery. In February 2015 we produced Henry V, followed by The Tempest in July 2015 and Hamlet in June 2016, all at Ludlow Brewery. In December 2016 we are directing our first panto, Robin Hood, for Ludlow Assembly Rooms.
Our name comes from our very first productions which took place on the rooftop space of the old City Literary Institute building in Stukeley Street, London from 2000 to 2002. Written and directed by teacher George Pensotti he inspired our lively and physical approach. We embraced Shakespeare in 2003 with an exuberant open-air production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Old Paddling Pool, Queen's Wood, Highgate, followed by The Comedy of Errors.
Prior to Ludlow we were based St Albans and put on a series of acclaimed open-air productions at Inn on the Park in Verulamium Park starting with Love's Labour's Lost in 2007 and The Taming of the Shrew in 2008. We moved indoors for a winter production of Twelfth Night at the Town Hall and returned to the open-air for The Winter's Tale in July 2010 and with Much Ado About Nothing in 2011 and The Merry Wives of Windsor in 2012.
In 2012 we were named Best Shakespeare Producers at the Fringe Report Award for "delivering his plays with freshness, originality and eclat". The photograph shows us with members of our St Albans ensemble at the awards night – from left to right, Philippa Tatham, Simon Boughey, Bob Reitemeier, Paul Sayers, Simon Bolton, Chris Paddon and Lisa Castle.
George Pensotti 1937 to 2010
A very special man who inspired numerous people and encouraged and supported our journey into Shakespeare. He was much loved for his humour and honesty!
Who we are
Artistic Directors - Paul Sayers & Simon Bolton
Paul and Simon met at Birmingham School of Speech & Drama (now Birmingham School of Acting) in 1995. After training a few years of fringe acting roles in London and the regions followed. They took classes with George Pensotti at the City Literary Institute, whose inspiration and support led them to taking on Shakespeare.
Paul and Simon have other jobs and activities when not planning, producing, directing and acting in productions. Paul has had a career in publishing and is a freelance professional and legal editor. Simon is an occasional primary school teacher and an accomplished railway modeller. He is author of a book on model railway scratch building published by the Crowood Press.

In a bid to fast track the trial of alleged treasury looters, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, yesterday [Mar 14], directed Judges handing corruption cases to hear such matters on a day-to-day basis.
The CJN said the National Judicial Council, NJC, would henceforth, descend heavily on any trial judge found to have stayed proceeding on any criminal matter before his court. Justice Mahmud who made the declaration while flagging-off the 2016 Refresher Course for judicial officers on current trends in law and administration of justice, said the measure became necessary in view of mounting criticisms against the Judiciary.
Addressing participants at the 5-day workshop, comprising of judges from different states of the federation, the CJN, said they must learn to "treat cases related to economic crimes and corruption with the necessary urgency". He maintained that the essence of the newly enacted Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA, 2015, was to forestall situations where accused persons use frivolous interlocutory applications to frustrate their trial.
The theme of the workshop which is holding at the National Judicial Institute, NJI, in Abuja, is "Promoting Judicial Performance through Innovations and Reforms". The CJN said: "The purpose of this Act is to ensure that the system of administration of criminal justice in Nigeria promotes efficient management of criminal justice institutions, speedy dispensation of justice, protection of the society from crime and protection of the rights and interests of the suspect, the defendant and the victim.

Kind eve,
Last weekend Zac Ayers and I took a trip to Moncton,
New Brunswick to meet up with James McGraw for a fury of skate
sessions. We first skated the outdoor Moncton park, then skated at the
Moncton Coliseum. It was a wonderful time, as I did not trip over a kid
and knock the back of my head on the cement where I would continue to
bleed. The last time I was at that park, the opposite thing to the
situation that was just detailed occurred. All in all, it was a
successful adventure with good friends.
So we took lots of footage, and Zac edited a nice section for us. Enjoy!

Now is the time to check your home for mold or dampness so that you can address any problems before the winter season arrives.
East Brunswick, N.J. (PRWEB) August 20, 2013
Many environmental allergy sufferers assume their symptoms are due to plant pollens, dust and other irritants. But there could be a more serious reason for their symptoms - these individuals could have a mold allergy. Sufferers with suppressed immune systems are even more vulnerable to the effects of a mold allergy. Gold Medal Service, an award-winning multispecialty home services contractor in New Jersey offers a dedicated team to combat water damage and home basement dampness from turning into a serious mold situation.
"I know many people who suffer from allergy symptoms, especially with the rainy summer we've had this year," said Mike Agugliaro, Gold Medal Service co-founder. "Homeowners may not realize this, but even minor dampness in a home breeds mold. Often residents become sick without considering their home could be the cause of their allergy or illness."
"Dampness and mold in a home can also cause thousands of dollars in damage if not taken care of by a qualified contractor," he said.
According to a report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Berkeley Labs, of the 21.8 million people reported to have asthma in the U.S., approximately 4.6 million cases are estimated to be attributable to dampness and mold exposure in the home. The report also noted that the national annual cost of asthma that is attributable to dampness and mold exposure in the home is approximately $3.5 billion.
Areas of the home that can be damaged by dampness and mold are everywhere: furniture, carpets, wood flooring, subfloors, framing, windows, doors, drywall, ceilings, foundations and more. A small leak from a dishwasher or sink can end up causing dampness that goes unnoticed for years, breeding mold that you may never see until it has already done significant damage.
"Now is the time to check your home for mold or dampness so that you can address any problems before the winter season arrives," said Agugliaro.
Agugliaro says his team is prepared, "Our technicians meet a very rigorous set of standards, wear large company badges and are extremely careful of your home and furnishings. Our goal is to leave your home exactly as we found it."
Gold Medal Service regularly receives the Super Service Award from Angie's List, a designation given to less than five percent of businesses that maintain a superior service record, and was recently rated "A+" by the Better Business Bureau. For more information, call 800-853-6060 or visit http://www.goldmedalservice.com.

Gold Medal Service, rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau, was founded in New Jersey in 1994 with just two employees. Their vision was to provide homeowners with a reliable and trustworthy home service company customers could count on to fix just about anything that could go wrong in a home. Since then Gold Medal has grown to include more than 120 employees and technicians solving plumbing, heating, cooling, electric, drain, sewer and waterproofing issues for homeowners across the state of New Jersey.

Policing the Web DA at borough council meeting to honor officer
GARY P. KLINGER Review Correspondent
, Staff Writer
Several commendations came the way of the Ephrata Police force at Monday night's meeting of the Ephrata Borough Council, which was attended by none other than Lancaster County District Attorney Craig Stedman.
Stedman was on hand to issue an Award of Merit to Detective Bradley Ortenzi for his work with the Lancaster County Computer Crimes Task force.
"Computer technology in all its forms has become integral to all types of modern technology touching our daily lives in countless way," stated Stedman. "While the benefits of computer technology are immeasurable, the technology has unfortunately been embraced by the criminal element in society which has exploited it to commit all nature of crimes. Today criminal investigators must be skilled in the use of technology to detect crime and must be adept at finding evidence of crimes the technology contains."
In 2002, the Office of the District Attorney of Lancaster County partnered with the Pennsylvania State Police becoming part of the Central Region, Pennsylvania Computer Crimes Task Force. In May, 2011, recognizing the ever-increasing demand for the services of investigators skilled in the use of computer technology and computer forensics, the DA's office formed the Lancaster County Computer Crimes Task Force.
"Progressive and forward thinking, the Ephrata Police Department recognized the importance of the initiative and through Detective Bradley Ortenzi, became part of the Task Force," added Stedman. "Detective Ortenzi completed training in peer-to-peer investigation allowing him to engage in proactively seeking out sexual predators that use social media on the Internet to find innocent children to sexually exploit, or to find like-minded individuals with whom to share child pornography. Detective Ortenzi has spent countless hours identifying suspects and gathering evidence that has allowed criminal investigators to bring criminal charges against numerous individuals engaged in the sexual abuse of children who would otherwise have gone undetected. In recognition for his outstanding service and dedication to protecting the citizens of Lancaster County, especially our children, Detective Ortenzi is awarded the District Attorney's Award of Merit."
Detective Ortenzi addressed council following his commendation.
"This effort is not well known within the county," said Ortenzi. "Lancaster County has really grabbed the reigns when it comes to child pornography detection, with the support of District Attorney Stedman. We can do what we do with their help. The predators actually make it easy; we are doing quite a lot to catch these predators."
Ortenzi also thanked Ephrata Police Chief William Harvey for his support in allowing him to participate in the county task force.
Stedman, for his part, also had glowing remarks about the local police department and its leadership.
"I want to commend Chief Harvey and the Ephrata Police from me as the DA. They do an important work. Throughout my entire 20-year career, I have consistently been impressed with the men and women of this department. And the leadership of Chief Harvey, his understanding of the criminal justice system and how this task force works, has been instrumental in its success."
Harvey was also present at Monday night's meeting. At the top of his agenda was to recognize retiring police officer Doug Heilman, after 26 year of service with the Ephrata department.
"One of the biggest honors I get to do is see men and women who get their rewards. Too often we lose officers in the line of duty. Officer Heilman served 26 years with honor."
Among the items presented to Heilman includes his retirement shield and plaque. He also received commendations from State Senator Mike Brubaker, along with a special proclamation issued from the floor of the state senate recognizing Mr. Heilman's service to the community.
"It has been an incredible life experience to work here in Ephrata," said Heilman. "It has been incredible – the quality of the officers. We've enjoyed good community support, good support from council and the district attorney's office. I'm proud to have (Stedman) as my DA. I deeply appreciate it all."
Police Officer Paul Moore was also recognized for his meritorious service in overseeing and directing the EPD Evidence and Property Room. Officer Moore has overseen several advancements and improvement within this essential police function.
"When I got here, we had a good evidence and property room," stated Harvey. "With Officer Moore's help, he oversaw the design and expansion of the evidence room. He also helped to oversee the BEAST program (where items are now bar-coded for better tracking). Yearly audits always come back flawless and we've gotten better at returning evidence to owners."
Harvey explained why this effort is so important.
"A lot of our cases hinge on the quality and integrity of our evidence," stated Harvey. "But now because of guys like Paul, who have invested so much in that room, that is intact."
Chief Harvey himself was also recognized Monday night for his efforts on behalf of the community. LEMA (Lancaster Emergency Management Agency) Director Randy Gockley was on hand to present Harvey with professional certification for emergency management from PEMA (the state organization).
"This is the third in a year I've been here to present Chief Harvey with his professional certification," noted Gockley. "Normally, this takes seven plus years to achieve and less than 5 percent will ever obtain this. This was completed in 18 months incorporating vast emergency management experience and training."
Plaza feedback
Local resident Brenda Martin addressed council on a number of concerns. Following up last week's meeting and subsequent newspaper article, she presented a view of those who hang out at the Whistle Stop Plaza as being benign and of no threat at all.
"It is outlandish that you would allow that article (in last week's Ephrata Review) to be printed," said Martin. "I know those kids and that's outrageous."
Council member Good, who has taken the lead on spearheading possible solutions to concerns about the plaza addressed those concerns.
"We've had complaints from business and citizens and visitors to Ephrata coming through our Chamber of Commerce and other venues," said Good. "The language is atrocious and unacceptable and I can vouch for it. The tales were removed because they were no longer acceptable for public use due to the pictures and graphic, obscene graffiti which basically ruined them. I personally counted only seven cigarette butts in the container but about eight on the ground. This is our central business district. We have a business center there and surrounding businesses. If even the perception by people is that they are afraid that's unacceptable. The drug part was reported to us; whether its true or not, it was reported by concerned citizens in the community. We are not against kids; that's not the intent. But if we have unacceptable behavior, especially in our downtown that needs to be addressed."
Good invited Martin to attend both the Public Safety and Community Services Committee meetings in the coming weeks to provide insight and feedback toward a solution to the problem.
State Police barracks
In other news, council voted unanimously to execute a lease termination agreement for the property at 21 Springhouse Road, between the borough, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of General Services and the Pennsylvania State Police. This is for the property which formerly housed the Ephrata barracks of the Pennsylvania State police.
Under the agreement, the borough would receive a $112,000 lump sum payment to release the state from their lease agreement. This would then free up the borough to more aggressively seek out either a new tenant or purchaser for the property. And, since the borough as already been responsible for the insurance, taxes and maintenance on the property, the borough would not be incurring any additional costs as a result of the agreement.
Some on council had been concerned about that possibility. Councilman Tony Kilkuskie pressed that point at last week's working session. But upon further investigation in the past week, Kilkuskie indicated he could now support the measure.
"I asked at work session about what additional expenses the borough would be incurring with the end of the lease," stated Kilkuskie. "I found this is not a 'triple net,' meaning that under the lease, the state police would not have been paying taxes, insurance and maintenance, so we are not taking on those additional expenses since we were already paying those expanses already. So my concerns were significantly diminished and I can now support this."
Borough Manager Bob Thompson added that the borough would continue to seek a new tenant until perhaps March of next year when the original lease would have run out.
"Rather than go through an auction or sealed bid process to sell the building, we wanted to lease it and have those funds coming into the general fund," stated Thompson.

February 19, 2014 15:00 ET
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Feb 19, 2014) - For the sixth consecutive year, Franchise Direct has published its Top 100 Global Franchises list, a definitive ranking of the best franchises in the world. This ranking is unique in that it recognizes a franchise's global growth and expansion.
Subway retains its position as the top franchise, while McDonald's slips back into the runner-up spot after a brief absence. KFC, Burger King and 7-Eleven round out the top five. The Top 10 in this year's list are:
Outside the Top Ten, EmbroidMe, the promotional products' franchise, makes the largest leap this year, moving up 58 places from 2013, with Naturhouse, the Spanish food franchise, advancing 50 places.
Some newcomers to the Top 100 are:
Thirty-five leading food franchises appear in the Top 100. Cleaning claims the second position with nine franchises, while automotive hits the third spot with eight franchises.
The Top 100 companies were selected from hundreds of franchises that have grown their networks through international expansion. The most recent data on these franchise systems was collected through self-reported company statistics, FDDs, SEC filings and published industry sources, and then subjected to a range of analytical criteria.
The Top 100 have overcome linguistic and cultural challenges to successfully replicate their concepts in different markets around the world. They serve as role models for other franchises looking for growth opportunities, and they are proof that quality products and services characterize successful business development everywhere.
In the United States, the franchise industry has emerged from the recession stronger than others, creating jobs at a faster rate than the economy as a whole. Many franchises are growing through global expansion as huge new markets open up in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Russia and Brazil.
Franchise Direct is the world's leading franchise portal, operating 11 franchise websites across 5 continents.
