Urban Planning
The Urban Planning Department manages the growth and physical form of the city. The Department plays an important role in leading and guiding all functions related to land use planning and development, including developing land use plans, policies and by-laws and by managing the approval processes for development applications.
Development Control
Development Control ensures that all properties are developed and used according to the City's Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law, and other applicable by-laws and regulations. This function is integrated into the City's "One Stop Shop for Building, Planning and Development Services" to ensure a customer focused approach to all building, planning and development applications. Development Control generally focuses on:
Providing advice and guidance on planning and development applications;
Process Development Permit approvals to ensure that all development complies with the Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law and other municipal requirements; and
Respond to public zoning inquiries, including issuing Zoning Confirmation and Compliance Letters.
Development Planning
The Development Planning facilitates the orderly use and development of property in accordance with the City's approved policies, by-laws, and development standards. Planning staff work with Engineering and other city departments to provide a customer-focused service that takes a proactive approach to application review, sound community planning, and well constructed infrastructure. The Development Planning division activities include:
Administering the City of Moncton's Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law, Subdivision By-law, and Controlled Access By-laws;
Reviewing and processing rezoning applications which involve amending the Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law;
Reviewing and processing Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) applications which involve variance, terms & conditions, rulings of compatibility, non-conforming uses, and temporary uses;
Providing land use planning advice to individuals, businesses, government agencies and other associations involved with preparing development proposals;
Coordinating a weekly Development Review service with Engineering and Environmental Services Department and other departments to review preliminary development proposals and provide pre-application advice to developers;
Conducting site plan reviews on proposed development for compliance with Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law and other municipal requirements; and
Responding to development and site selection inquiries.
Subdivision Approval
The Subdivision Approval function focuses on ensuring an orderly approach to land development. It generally involves dividing land into smaller parcels in order to legally register separate ownership titles with the Land Titles office. Many of the subdivisions that the city deals with create new building lots, streets and land for public purposes. The Urban Planning Department coordinates the application process and facilitates a Development Review process with Engineering and Environmental Services, Parks, Recreation and Culture, Legal Services and other city departments and government agencies to ensure that all applications comply with the City's Municipal Plan, Zoning By-law, Subdivision By-law, and other applicable policies and regulations.
Long Range Policy Planning
Long Range Policy Planning works to balance the environmental, social, and economic needs of the city as means to achieve the City's vision of a livable, sustainable and prosperous community. To ensure development takes place in a rational manner, the Long Range Policy Planning division is involved in a wide range of activities such as:
Managing and implementing the City's Municipal Plan, including growth management and planning for downtown and existing neighbourhoods;
Preparing and reviewing Neighbourhood Plans;
Preparing and reviewing Secondary Land Use Plans;
Developing of Urban Design Policies and Guidelines;
Conducting housing research and policy development;
Preparing Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Plans;
Compiling and analyzing data on population projections, neighbourhood profiles, commercial and industrial land inventories, and other data.
The division also serves as a resource and assists other departments with Environmental, Economic and Industrial Development, Recreation, Downtown, Heritage, and Sustainable Transportation Planning.

PUEBLO, CO – While most of his colleagues go about their daily occupation in theaters and concert halls, lighting professional Nelson Meeks works in an environment that's much more "earthy." "My world is dirt," states Meeks.
As the lighting designer for the Professional Bull Riders Tour (PBR), Meeks means this quite literally. With 2,000-pound bucking bulls kicking up clouds of dust and dirt as they race around the arena trying to throw off their riders, Meeks faces some big challenges keeping his gear running smoothly during the PBR's intense 10-month national touring schedule.
Not only do the lighting products used on the PBR tour have to be tough enough withstand flying soil and debris, they have a wide range of other demands placed on them too, says Meeks. The lighting must be "studio-friendly" enough to provide illumination for the sport's weekly televised events, as well as for photo and video shoots. Additionally, it must be able to light up live musical performances and guest artists that are part of the entertainment at PBR shows.
So when he expanded his rig for the 2011 tour, Meeks wanted lighting products that were both tough and versatile. He went with a company that he knew firsthand could provide this combination -- Elation Professional.
The PBR had used Elation light fixtures in the past, including the Power Spot 700 II CMY color mixing 700-watt moving head and the Design LED 12 Brick RGB color mixing brick, and Meeks had been extremely pleased with their durability and roadworthiness. "The 700s were my first Elation fixtures. I have 10 of them, and they have been solid from the start," said Meeks. "They have been through hell and back and just keep on going. I think I have sent only one back to get looked at in three years. Considering what they go through on this tour, I think that's remarkable."
Based on this proven track record, Meeks added some new Elation fixtures this year. He now uses an all-Elation rig, supplied by LB Lightswest (Lodi, CA), consisting of: 20 x Platinum Beam 5R; 8 x Design Spot 1200 Compact; 10 x Power Spot 700II CMY; 16 x Protron Color Strobe; 80 x Design LED 12 Brick; and EWDMX wireless DMX systems.
One new addition, the Platinum Beam 5R moving head, utilizes breakthrough MSD Platinum 5R discharge lamp technology from Philips, which makes it possible to create fixtures that are brighter and more powerful with superior light quality, yet are also faster, smaller, lighter weight, draw much less energy, and have longer-lasting lamps. The Platinum Beam 5R has an output comparable to a 575-watt fixture, yet is half the size, uses less than half the energy and, amazingly, weighs half as much as a typical 250-watt fixture.
Meeks recalls that he was immediately impressed with the Platinum Beam 5R when it was shown to him by his dealer Pete Siegel of LB Lightswest, "I fell in love with the Platinum Beam 5Rs the first time I saw them. I knew this was what I wanted on my upstage truss. After the opening, most of my show is with house lights at full, so I needed a beam that could punch through. The Platinum Beam 5R does this perfectly, from one end of the arena to the other."
Another Elation fixture added to the PBR's permanent rig this year was the Design Spot 1200 Compact, a versatile 1,200-watt compact moving head hybrid spot/wash effect with CMY color mixing, 8 colors, 12 gobos and an Animation Effects wheel. "I had used the 1200s the last few years at our finals in Vegas," said Meeks. "I love the stock gobos they came with, so when I got the chance to add them to my rig, I did."
Meeks continues to rely on his Power Spot 700II CMY and Design LED 12 Brick fixtures to handle the diverse range of functions his lighting is required to perform. "Besides the bull-riding, I light everything from photo shoots for boot sponsors, to video shoots like the Gary Allan Get Off On The Pain video, which was shot after an event in Pueblo. The 700s and LED bricks were used there."
The lighting designer adds that, in addition to the lighting products themselves, the excellent customer service he receives from Elation has influenced his supplier choice. "With our schedule, maintenance time is hard to come by – a quick wipe down and blowout is all the time I get. With the PBR my world is dirt, that's just part of life, so I want to be sure that support is there if I need it. This is another of the main reasons I went with Elation," said Meeks. "Their support is the best that I have had. One phone call and it's handled. They treat me like I'm somebody, they care, and that's pretty cool."

Sandra Bullock Looks Beautiful In Blue At 2014 Oscars
After taking daring fashion risks all award season, Sandra Bullock is going out with a bang — and she nailed it. The 49-year-old 'Gravity' star completely stunned in a deep blue strapless dress.
Talk about a flattering gown! Sandra Bullock is nominated for Best Actress at the 2014 Academy Awards, so it was no shocker that she came to the Hollywood & Highland Center looking better than ever!
Sandra Bullock's Oscars Dress
Talk about outta this world — Sandra absolutely stunned in a deep blue gown on March 2. The gorgeous gown had a sweetheart neckline and while it was fitted, the fabric gathered right under the bust to the left side and it couldn't have been more flattering.
Her look was topped off with amazing makeup — a smokey eye and navy blue eyeliner, but the best part was her amazing Lorraine Schwartz ear cuff.
Sandra's Workout Routine
It's no surprise that the Oscar winner looked so amazing — she works hard for that killer body! The mother of baby Louis revealed in an October interview that she did some serious prep before Gravity began filming.
"[I started working out] about six months before and then every day while we were shooting," Sandra told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "Lunch was in the workout box. You can eat when you're locked into things and you're by yourself. It had to be done so I wouldn't hurt myself and I could execute what Alfonso needed on the gymnastics level, but I also wanted her to have this body that was someone who just needed the machine to execute what she needed to do and didn't remind her of being what she was in the past, which was a mom."
What do you think of Sandra's dress, HollywoodLifers? Do you think she should have chosen something else or is this her best look ever? Let us know what you think!

When scientists analyze fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability, blueberries rank among the highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals. Rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and inflammation, blueberry extracts not only help preserve youthful cognitive function, but also help maintain healthy blood flow via several mechanisms, including maintaining already normal LDL levels and blood pressure within normal limits and preserving endothelial and vascular function.
The two most active constituents found in blueberries are anthocyanins and pterostilbene. Blueberry anthocyanins are considered one of nature's most potent antioxidants. Pterostilbene is the other blueberry constituent that helps maintain healthy lipid and glucose levels that are already within healthy ranges.258-260 Through its unique biological effects and antioxidative potential, pterostilbene helps maintain healthy DNA structure.

A serene little Idaho farm was the scene for a summer's early afternoon, joy-filled Farm Chicks Style wedding.
The bride wore a vintage cotton dress.
Twinkly lights and a fancy chandelier were all that were needed for the barn, where the ceremony was held.
An old farm truck became the stage for the bluegrass band.
A bridesmaid's bouquet.
The groom's and groomsmen's bowties, handmade. Herbs were used for true country boutonnieres.
A hearty breakfast was served, including waffles, eggs benedict in mini cast-iron pans, fresh fruit, orange juice rosemary sippers, french toast stacks with berries and cream, miniature quiche, pancake stacks with fresh berries and syrup, and ice-cold milk.
The tables were adorned with fresh flowers, plates topped with fresh herbs, and homemade napkins were placed at each setting.
Delicious desserts included a homemade butter cake, a crepe cake, and miniature bundt cakes.
The truck stage was the perfect spot for the bouquet toss.
Guests were treated to a tea station for a takeaway treat.
And everyone lived happily ever after….
This wedding story was created for the book, Stylish Weddings. You can find the entire story, including how to make the bow ties, potato-stamped napkins, dessert flags, farm bucket cake stand, Serena's Butter Cake, Orange Juice Rosemary Sippers, swizzle sticks, tea station, and tea bag takeaways all in the book.

text: From the point of countries, politicians will perceive the ongoing situation as a wake-up call with regard to lower birth rates, more demands on houses, and more energy consumption. Firstly, more single households mean more single persons, and the population will shrink in the wake of falling number of married couples. Secondly, more houses are required to fulfill the need of individuals, which cause cities even more densely populated. London is a famous example; the number of houses has been stimulated by 48% over the past five years, and 80% of them are for singles. Finally, the consumption of electricity and gas will soar when more people choose to live on their own, and it will further pose a threat to our livelihood.

Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. v. SK Kassetten GmbH & Co. KG, Infringement, FRAND, District Court The Hague, The Netherlands, 17 March 2010, Joint Cases No. 316533/HA ZA 08-2522 and 316535/HA ZA 08-2524
The Court of The Hague held that SK Kassetten infringed several essential patents owned by Philips, relating to CD and DVD technology. SK Kassetten argued – under reference to the Orange Book decision of the German BGH – that it was entitled to a license uncer FRAND terms, and that this would preclude Philips from enforcing its patents. The Court of The Hague does not feel that the criteria for the assessment of FRAND-defences as established in the Orange Book decision should be applied under Dutch law. The reasoning of the Court will be integrally cited (in English) below.
6.18 On the basis of the foregoing, it must be concluded that SK infringed upon EP 238. This means that the (injunctive) relief sought by Philips must in principle be awarded.
6.19 SK's argument that it is entitled to a license under EP 238 on Fair Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (herafter: FRAND) terms, cannot lead to a different conclusion. To the contrary of SK's belief, the alleged entitlement to a FRAND-license is not a permit to infringe upon Philips' patent rights. If the alleged entitlement would have actually been converted into a license, SK would naturally be free to use the patented technology. However, as long as SK does not have a license, there is in principle no ground to allow SK the use of the patented technology, nor to prevent Philips from enforcing its patents.
6.20 A system wherein the existence of a mere entitlement to a "compulsory license under cartel law", as SK qualifies its claim, would prevent a patentee from enforcing its rights, also does not suit the system for compulsory licenses as envisaged by the legislator. The rights to a compulsory license as arranged for in article 57 Dutch Patent Act are also not valid before a license agreement has actually been concluded, or before a Court decision which has res judicata has been obtained [..].
6.21 Allowing the use of patented technology or preventing the enforcement of a patent right on the basis of a mere entitlement to a FRAND-license, would moreover lead to legal uncertainty. As long as the alleged entitlement is not converted into an actual license, it is uncertain for both parties if the alleged entitlement is justified, let alone that it is clear what the license terms will be. There will be frequent cases of such uncertainty, as parties regularly will have different opinions regarding the answer to the question which terms, and especially which royalty rates, are FRAND. Therefore, also in view of legal certainty a system is desirable wherein the right to enforce a patent only strands after a party actually has a license.
6.22 From the nature of the case, Philips' consent to the license, or a Court decision that substitutes such consent is required for the conversion of the entitlement to a FRAND-license as claimed by SK into an actual license. SK can therefore not effectuate the alleged entitlement unilaterally by offering Philips to take a license under FRAND-terms, as it has done in its statement of defence. Before engaging in its trade in discs, or from the moment that it was aware or reasonably should have been aware that by doing so it was infringing, SK should have requested Philips for a license under FRAND-terms. If Philips would have refused, it could have initiated legal proceedings in which it could have claimed that Philips would be condemned to yet grant a license under terms which are FRAND in SK's view, of to negotiate a license. SK has not done so. Not before its statement of defence in the current action has SK put forward that it "wishes to be admitted to a license agreement", but it has up to this day not filed a (counter)claim. Moreover, it must be questioned whether SK really wishes to be admitted to a license agreement, as it itself states that it has already ceased its trade in full.
6.23 That Philips can enforce its patent as long as SK does not have a license, also does not in itself bring about an unjustifiable restriction of SK's trade. Firstly, it is SK that wishes to use the patented technology. In view thereof, it may be expected of SK that it takes the initiative and timely arranges for a license. Secondly, the period that Philips could have prevented SK from entering the market in spite of the alleged entitlement to a license, would not have had to last long. If SK would have had an urgent interest in its claim to entitlement to a FRAND-license, it would have been able to claim a provisional license in preliminary injunction proceedings. It has not done so. Thirdly, Philips' right to enforcement does not preclude that – if it would later on turn out that the claimed entitlement to a license is just – Philips would need to compensate SK for the damages it had suffered as a result of the unjustified rejection to conclude a license.
6.24 In light of the foregoing, it must be concluded that Philips can enforce its patent against SK, also in case it would for argument's sake be held that SK would be entitled to a license. This in principle does not constitute abuse of dominance in the sense of antitrust law, nor does it otherwise lead to an unlawful or unreasonable act, given the fact that SK knew that the technology used by it was protected by Philips' patent rights, and that it nevertheless did not convert its claimed entitlement to a license into an actual license. It cannot be excluded that this would under certain circumstances be different, but such circumstances have not been argued nor have appeared in this case.
6.25 The Court is aware that with the abovementioned ruling it deviates from the criteria which have been developed for the assessment of so-called FRAND-defences by the German Bundesgerichthof (herafter: BGH) in the Oprange Book decision (BGH 6 May 2009, KZR 39/06, b9 7936). According to the BGH, in an infringement case the defence that the defendant is entitled to a FRAND-license holds water if – in sum – the defendant has unconditionally offered the patentee to take a FRAND license and the defendant is already executing the conditions thereof, in so far as it concerns the royalty obligations, if so wanted by putting up security. From the foregoing it follows that the court is of the opinion that this decision of the BGH applied to the Dutch situation (i) flies in the face of patent law (compare findings 6.19 and 6.20) (ii) brings about legal uncertainty (compare finding 6.21) and (ii) is unneccesary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the defendant (compare finding 6.22 and 6.23). [..]"

Zoku Kakucho
After a long break between issues, Nakako Hayashi returns with reflections on her collaborations and her relationship with many of the artists she's featured in her time doing Here & There. Special notes on her experience preparing and mounting the exhibition "You reach out – right now – for something: Questioning the Concept of Fashion".
"I feel that this issue, more so than the previous ones, shows the values and visions of each artist more clearly. So that is why it has ended up having more text, translation, and more to design and proofread than ever before. Publishing is an act to leave marks on a newborn world, and give shape to timid voices, as well as subtle but confident voices. I want to thank each and every one of those who have given a helping hand, and those who will be reading this, and those who already have. The people who make things and those who take things in, equally create this world, by surely transmitting something even on a small scale, as if to reflect one another clearly on a mirror, giving a life of its own to shine through." - Nakako Hayashi

The Slamming Door is a true story. In September of 2008, Clarisse N. Renard was asked to move in with her cousin-in-law, who had just been diagnosed with bone cancer...by his daughter, Berta. Find out how an Aspie who has learned social skills by rote, one who has earned respectable academic credentials but does not function well in many work environments, navigates a labyrinth of death, dying and loss, and how she copes with anxiety induced by travel and changes in her environment, and how she slowly, painstakingly comes to recognize the signs of hostility around her while making no apology for who she is. Read on to find out how an articulate and meticulous Aspie dealt with all of these problems and situations, and how she viewed it all. There is nothing wrong with those who are different. The problem is those who won't accept or respect them. The memoir includes photographs of points of interest in Manhattan, and other items of interest.I ended up walking down 23rdStreet past Madison Square Park to the Time- Warner company to get the necessary items. ... He was the one who waited on me and explained what he would give me to take home and how to set it up once he realized that I could do it all myself. ... He might have been in his midforties. it, plus two cable boxes, new remote controls, another box that was small and black andanbsp;...

Prince Harry has shown he's moving on from ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas by enjoying a night out in London.
Harry, 29, was out on the town with friends when he headed to a club, and had a few drinks with some girls, including dancer Paige Collins.
She was clearly excited by the experience, Tweeting later, "It's not everyday you get to dance and have vodka shots with Prince Harry! He's the most down to earth man considering he's a prince."
The Sun reported that Harry's evening begun with an evening meal with Guy Pelly and his new wife Lizzie and a group of friends at Frantoio in Chelsea. It was just before the Pellys's recent wedding on Memphis that it emerged that Harry had split from girlfriend of nearly two years, Cressida, 25.
Earlier in the day, the prince had taken a private trip to Nottingham, joining in with singing and rapping at a recording studio which has received some funding from the Royal Foundation set up by himself and brother Prince William. The foundation has given the St. Ann's studio money as part of its bid to help young people's community projects.
Singer Joy Mumford, who met Harry, called him "lovely." "He's one of the world's coolest human beings!"

iPhone OS 3.0: Copy and pasteAt long last, iPhone users will soon be able to copy and paste text and images. Apple's senior vice president of iPhone software, Scott Forstall, demonstrates the new tap-and-drag feature.
[ music ] ^M00:00:03 >> So we have been working really hard to design a easy to use, straight forward user interface for cut, copy, and paste on our large touch screen display. And we think we've nailed it. Let me go ahead and just demo it for you now. Here's a message here from Daniel Vincent, I guess we're going to some conference in Hawaii, he wants to know what flight I want to take, and what I'd like to do there. Let me go ahead and reply to him. I'll scroll down, and here's how you now select text on the phone, that's it. You double tap onto the text, and it automatically selects that text. And now I'll put my thumb on that right grab point. I get a magnifier for the selection. Drag it down, select that entire block, and take copy. I've now selected the whole block, again drag back to the top, double tap, and paste. We've had requests to send more than one photo at a time. And now in iPhone 3.0 you can do that. Let me go into photos, and I'll choose, I have a Wahoo album in here, here it is. Let me go ahead, I'll tap on that action button in the bottom, we're in selection mode now. I'll select the Iolani [assumed spelling] Palace, select that lighthouse, I'll say copy, copies both of those photos. Leave here, go back to mail, and again simple, tap to bring up that paste bubble, paste, and I've now pasted multiple photos right into mail. So copy paste in iPhone 3.0 ^M00:01:38 [ applause ] ^M00:01:42 [ music ]

It's been four years since Damian King released 'the Joker'. 'The Joker' was a movie that had such an impact, and was always going to be hard to match.
"I didn't want to rush into a sequel and produce something I wasn't happy with" Kingy said. That said King has spent his time patiently working on 'The Joker II', getting this film to a level he is happy with.
"Finally the Joker II is ready and I can't wait for people to see it. It's completely different to the first one, but very similar in a lot of ways as well.

The final day of the 2008 Sport Chalet Pro saw a different side of Salt Creek! The perfect weather and surf of the day prior switched into a 4 to 5 Californian wind squall. With eight hours of competition left to be run the riders hit the water at 8 am sharp!
Major standouts where California's own Jeremy Wright who was on a consistent roll from day one all the way to the final. Other Cali hopefuls such as Nelz Velicido and Ross McBride had bowed out in the quarters due to the trying conditions.
Jeff Hubbard had the highest score of the day in his quarterfinal heat with a roll to barrel to ars that was the highlight of the day's actions. Jeff in true Champion form continued his domination on into the finals.
The women's division saw Vikki Gleason coming back to the competition for her first contest in over seven years for an outstanding performance that landed her in the final.
Also Claudia Ferrari & Leila Ali our two USBA Women's Champion hopefuls also had great performances, which landed then in the finals. Monica Delamore who was in title contention for the Sport Chalet CA regional tour also made the final with a consistent effort throughout the entire competition!
As the long day of competition progressed it was the amateur's turn to deal with the now harsh 4 to 6 ft storm surf!
New comers to the CA Sport Chalet/USBA venues such as Jay Uehara and Alex Brown had a great first experience with solid combinations throughout the remaining rounds.
Also Dilan Druz and Travis Smith our two contenders for the USBA AM national title both fell victim to back to back to back heats as they progressed through the 13 to 18 and Open Amateur divisions. Both competitors managed to make the finals and where equally exhausted at days end.
Hawaiian Reis Yonoheiro all though not in the title race for the Amateur Open title was putting it all on the line with solid performances heat after heat and took home the win for his first for the year!

AbstractPolycomb group proteins (PcG) are major epigenetic regulators, essential for establishing heritable expression patterns of developmental control genes. The mouse PcG family member M33/Cbx2 (Chromobox homolog protein 2) is a component of the Polycomb-Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1). Targeted deletion of Cbx2/M33 in mice results in homeotic transformations of the axial skeleton, growth retardation and male-to-female sex reversal. In this study, we tested whether Cbx2 is involved in the control of chromatin remodeling processes during meiosis. Our analysis revealed sex reversal in 28.6% of XY−/− embryos, in which a hypoplastic testis and a contralateral ovary were observed in close proximity to the kidney, while the remaining male mutant fetuses exhibited bilateral testicular hypoplasia. Notably, germ cells recovered from Cbx2(XY−/−) testes on day 18.5 of fetal development exhibited premature meiosis onset with synaptonemal complex formation suggesting a role for Cbx2 in the control of meiotic entry in male germ cells. Mutant females exhibited small ovaries with significant germ cell loss and a high proportion of oocytes with abnormal synapsis and non-homologous interactions at the pachytene stage as well as formation of univalents at diplotene. These defects were associated with failure to resolve DNA double strand breaks marked by persistent gH2AX and Rad51 foci at the late pachytene stage. Importantly, two factors required for meiotic silencing of asynapsed chromatin, ubiquitinated histone H2A (ubH2A) and the chromatin remodeling protein BRCA1, co-localized with fully synapsed chromosome axes in the majority of Cbx2(−/−) oocytes. These results provide novel evidence that Cbx2 plays a critical and previously unrecognized role in germ cell viability, meiosis onset and homologous chromosome synapsis in the mammalian germline.

1978 World Series winner to provide message for local group
Former New York Yankees reserve infielder Brian Doyle will present a message to baseball fans at the Bisons' game Sunday at Coca Cola field. It is Parkinson's Day at the ballpark.
Doyle was a shining star for the Yankees during the 1978 postseason. Injuries felled the ballplayer, shortening his career. Doyle is now facing a more serious challenge. He has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but his spirit remains strong. His message for the Parkinson's community in Western New York will be delivered before Sunday's game.
Doyle was a late replacement for the injured Willie Randolph in the 1978 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He batted .438 in the six-game series, collecting seven hits in 16 at bats and driving in two runs. Doyle propelled the Yankees in that hard-fought series. He is now lending strength and encouragement to fellow Parkinson's patients in their battle against the progressive neurological disease.
"It has been amazing speaking with Brian," National Parkinson Foundation of Western New York Executive Director Chris Jamele said. "He has wonderful baseball stories, but he also has such great concern for fellow Parkinson's patients. You can hear it in his voice."
Doyle shared of playing ball in the backfields of small-town Kentucky and then being "in the Yankee dugout with Lou Piniella, Roy White, Thurman Munson" all patting him on the back. He became emotional when telling how, when introduced, he jogged onto the field at a "Legions Game" and Parkinson's fundraiser in June. He wasn't sure his legs would work that day. "Being able to jog onto the field once again meant the world to me," he said.
Connie, Doyle's wife of 41 years, thanked the National Parkinson Foundation for the support they have provided. "We have learned so much from your educational resources ... we received so many tools to help. Our family will be forever grateful," she said.
Also before the game, a there will be ceremony on the field as Consumer's Beverages presents National Parkinson Foundation of Western New York with a check for $20,000. The company raised the funds in April, National Parkinson's Awareness Month, through the sale of blue ribbon cutouts. The effort is an annual program by NPFWNY to promote awareness of Parkinson's in Western New York. Western New York is home to nearly 9,000 Parkinson's patients. Portions of the region lead the nation in the prevalence of Parkinson's diagnoses.
Parkinson's disease is a neurologically degenerative condition for which there is no cure. NPFWNY provides support groups and therapeutic programming for patients and caregivers alike.

Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
What satisfies? What brings genuine and fulfilling contentment? I would have to say it begins with my relationship with the Lord, and the benefits of that relationship are:
Knowing I am His
Knowing I am loved
Knowing joy
Knowing peace
Why is it that we are privileged with these benefits in our walk with the Lord? The best answer I have is that this is who God is!
He is the lover of our soul.
Jeremiah 31:3 Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
He is our joy.
John 15:11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
He is our peace.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Now, if those sound familiar, they are. Love, joy, and peace are the first three in the fruit of the Spirit list in Galatians 5:22. We should be reaping these in great abundance in our lives, and they will bring us a wonderful and satisfying contentment, that we can only know because of Him.
Today, I want to be grateful. I want to thank Him for His goodness to me and for the satisfaction I have in the Lord who is my Shepherd.
Psalm 107:8-9
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

Since the Israeli Premier League was inaugurated in 1999/2000, Maccabi Haifa FC have only once had to go more than a season without the title – 2012/13 will be about restoring them at the top of the pile.
They go into the campaign with a new man at the helm following Elisha Levi's departure to Hapoel Beer Sheva FC, but Reuven Atar needs no introduction. As a player, he won five championships and two State Cups in ten years during two spells at the club spanning 1986 and 2002. Even now, many Maccabi Haifa supporters struggle to imagine the No10 shirt without Atar's curly locks protruding over the top.
There are times that the huge support I get is even a little embarrassing," admitted Atar, from beneath that familiar hair. "It is very exciting [to be back]." Club owner Jacob Shahar revealed that he was always going to return – it was a question of when, not if. "I wanted to bring Atar a year ago, but after Elisha's championship I decided to let him stay. Atar understood and accepted that and that's why he is here this year, where he should be."
Atar's task will be to find a good balance between the proven quality of players like Yaniv Katan and Nir Davidovitch, and a cabal of talented youngsters including his son Roi, 18, who broke into the side last season as they finished fifth. Hen Ezra has followed the coach from Maccabi Netanya FC while Dino Ndlovu has arrived from Bnei Yehuda Tel-Aviv FC.
Hapoel Kiryat Shmona FC may have their work cut out as they bid to emulate Beitar Jerusalem FC's feat of back-to-back championships set in 2007/08 and 2008/09; Maccabi Haifa's thirst for success is as insatiable as ever. Captain Katan, a team-mate of Atar a decade ago, best sums up the mood on Mount Carmel, saying: "
The only thing we think about is how to bring Maccabi Haifa back to its natural place."
The Israeli Premier League kicks off on Saturday

Iona's Lamont "MoMo" Jones dismissed Aaron Craft and Ohio State before Friday's West Regional battle, and No. 2 Ohio State made him pay for his words by thrashing No. 15 Iona 95-70 in Dayton, Ohio.
Craft, arguably the best on-the-ball defender in the nation, frustrated Iona, getting three consecutive steals in the first half, and frustrated Jones and disrupted Iona throughout the first half. Jones was held to just 9 points on 3 of 15 shooting.
With Ohio State leading by 20, Iona did make a run at the end of the first half, cutting the deficit to 4 before Ohio State scored the half's last 6 points to lead by 10 at halftime.
The first four minutes of the second half would be key. Iona could have made it a game with a run, but Ohio State laid the hammer down, systematically taking apart and dismantling Iona on both ends of the floor and making them look like the inferior No. 15 seed that they were.
For Ohio State, DeShaun Thomas had 24 points, Sam Thompson had 20 points and 10 rebounds and Craft had 7 assists and 6 steals.
The West Region is now wide open for Ohio State to advance. With Harvard having knocked off No. 3 New Mexico and No. 1 Gonzaga having struggled mightily against No. 16 Southern, the Buckeyes seem to be on a collision course with Gonzaga for a trip to the final four.
Ohio State, the Big Ten tournament champions, will face the winner of Notre Dame and Iowa State.
If the Buckeyes get past that game, they will face the winner of the Arizona and Harvard in the Sweet 16 in Los Angeles next week.

Maryville Academy at Montrose and Clarendon in Chicago - an
emergency housing center for the Department of Child and Family
Services in Cook County. Tansey is using support and materials
provided by TrueFresco.com through our "Discover Fresco Outreach
Children - Real Frescoes!
This is a 4-5
hour Fun-Filled Fresco Workshop for ages 7-12+ During this class
each child will paint a Real Buon Fresco and learn facts about
History of Fresco starting from 35,000 years old Cave Paintings
in France.
will make their own Cartoon, do the transfer and even
try a trowel!
will paint on wet (fresco) plaster with non-toxic
studio-tested earth based paints from the traditional
fresco palette. And since the paints are made from
nothing more than distilled water and powdered earth
minerals, washing their clothes will be the easiest
laundry you have ever done!
try to wash away their painting after the plaster
completely cures and you will discover why we still
can see paintings from 35,000 years ago.
a great fun for the whole class and kids love it!
Fresco-Tiles can be assembled in a Quilt-like Mural to which new
pieces can be added at any time. Resulting mural will be a
significant display of student's creativity and ever-growing
display with an unlimited potential.
Fresco Workshop" is easily taught by artist, school teacher
or parent using our 90min "Discover Fresco Workshop"
Video and "Discover Fresco Workshop" Materials Kit.

New Developments and Best Practices to Avoid Immigration Enforcement and Discrimination Claims, an NRRDA Webinar
Robert S. Groban, Jr., and Pierre Georges Bonnefil present "New Developments and Best Practices to Avoid Immigration Enforcement and Discrimination Claims," a National Retail and Restaurant Defense Association (NRRDA) webinar.
Immigration has become an increasingly significant issue in the retail and restaurant industries. Rare is the retail or restaurant operation that is not affected by immigration laws, and rarely has the agency responsible for enforcing those laws been so active. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") has begun to closely scrutinize the restaurant industry given the number of unskilled workers it employs. Bush-era raids have given way under the current administration to intrusive investigations, criminal prosecutions and costly litigations seeking fines and damage awards. Employer efforts to comply, in turn, have spawned an increasing number of costly discrimination actions by both individual plaintiffs and the U.S. Justice Department.
The discussion covers recent developments in these areas, including the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Arizona v. United States, and provides practical approaches employers can take to help ensure compliance.

The surprising combo of chocolate and eggplant comes together in a mild, earthy dip, similar to baba ghanoush. Scoop wedges of pita bread into this vibrant, garlicky dip of roasted red peppers and eggplant. This fresh take on stuffed dates pairs smoky bacon and sausage with rich chocolate and sweet dates in a savory chocolate sauce.
This comforting appetizer is easier than you'd think. Layer cottage cheese-and-feta filling between sheets of buttered phyllo dough, and then bake until puffed and golden.
This tasty fall supper comes together in just 30 minutes. Orange juice, maple syrup, cumin, and cayenne combine for a spicy-sweet sauce.
This bread is often served for special occasions and gatherings, such as Easter or weddings. The recipe makes enough to send some home with guests; or freeze part of the loaf for later.
Sweet cherries, cherry-infused whiskey, cocoa, and vanilla mingle in this dessert-like concoction.
This tender roast is braised in a full-flavored sauce spiked with chocolate and smoked paprika. Tomatoes and roasted banana peppers are marinated in bold garlic vinaigrette.
Katrina Markoff, recipe creator and founder of Vosges Haug-Chocolat, calls this cake "Love Goddess Cake." This inventive dessert couples luscious chocolate with smoky bacon. If you prefer, you can omit the bacon.
Toss homemade cavatelli with shrimp, peppery arugula, and toasted breadcrumbs for a dinner that's sure to impress.
Pine nuts add crunch and ricotta cheese adds creaminess to this hearty, one-dish dinner.
Four different types of cheese make this baked pasta dish truly comforting. A sprinkling of homemade garlic bread crumbs creates a toasty crust, and a drizzle of truffle oil is a luxurious touch.
"This is one of those old-school recipes you seldom see anymore, but you should," restaurateur and author, Donatella Arpaia says. "It's a complete meal all by itself."
When baked in the oven, mounds of shredded cheddar cheese and curry powder melt into delightful crisps that become the perfect complement to this rich and creamy soup.
Sautéed chicken tenders are tossed with spinach, grapes and red wine vinegar in this warm twist on chicken salad.
Top cooked ground beef, tomatoes, and olives with corn muffin mix and cheddar cheese for a satisfying dinner that's ready in just 30 minutes.
Gently cooking mahi-mahi in a broth of coconut milk and lime results in fish that¿s flavorful and flaky.
Leftover bread becomes warm, sweet, crispy French toast at less than a dollar per serving.
Green olives, capers, and dried plums give this chicken dish its unique tangy-sweet flavor. Serve over hot cooked rice.
Chicken enchiladas are the inspiration for this smoky, cheese-filled sandwich. A side of mango slaw adds freshness and a touch of sweetness to temper the heat.

HOUSTON --Local parents are facing a felony charge after they allegedly left their baby in the heat while they asked drivers for money.
Tyler Gleason, 36, and Tonya Gleason, 34, are each charged with endangering a child. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, a five-month-old baby was sitting in a car seat in the hot sun near the road while the parents solicited money from vehicles passing by on Monday.
A deputy was sent out for a welfare check and found the baby. An EMS crew said the baby's body temperature was over 100 degrees.
It's not clear if CPS has gotten involved with the family's case.
Bail has been set at $2,000.

Most glorious mum-in-law flies in — not on her broom — about once a year. Her favorite food on the planet is pork ribs. In fact, her favorite meat is pork. Ya just gotta love an Iowa farm girl.
Clockwise, from the top, St Louis cut spare ribs, shoulder (butt), and rack.
The ribs (20 hours @ 134°F), shoulder (48 hours @ 140°F), and rack (10 hours @ 134°F) were all sous vide well in advance, ice bathed, then stored in the fridge awaiting their smoke-filled finish. This is one of the greatest things about sous vide: once fully pasteurized, and as long as the bag isn't opened, you can safely keep it in your fridge for several weeks.
Each piece of meat was liberally salted in advance of the water bath. That's it. Nothing fancy here. I simply wanted to see what salt alone would do.
Always being interested in the science of cooking, I did some research on the smoking bit too. The result of that was a few simple things 1) charcoal for heat, 2) wood for smoke (I used dry oak chunks), 3) wait for blue smoke (the nearly invisible kind), 4) meat goes in cold and wet. Pretty simple stuff. For those interested in a shitload of details, go here.
Science works. Check out that smoke ring! Believe it or not, the ribs were in the smoker for only 40 minutes. I pulled them out of the fridge, out of the bag, left a bunch of gelatinous goo on the surface, and put them in the smoker. No added rubs, spices, or fussery. Continue reading

105 Pounds Lost!
5 Attachment(s)
I won't go on too long about my story, basically I've been heavy all my life and have lost weight multiple times, only to gain it back. I'm really concentrating all my attention now on maintaining my loss. I'm so excited to be where I am, and I don't ever want to go back to my former weight.
My husband and I started our new lifestyle in Sept 2009, and we consider ourselves a work in progress. I've lost 105 pounds and he's lost 60 through Weight Watchers and calorie counting.

I Had My Aura Read and It Was Better Than Therapy
The camera takes a first exposure of your physical self and a second of your energetic overlay.
There's a certain kind of Downloady McDownloader who's always looking for the most obscure thing in new music to "introduce" (aka brag about knowing) to her/his friends. Music blogs live for being the first, or getting the exclusive track from a certain artist. Did you know there's a way to get your hands on ALL KINDS of totally out-there, odd tracks that no one's ever heard of without having to seriously troll the internet? It's called the Ambient channel on iTunes Radio, specifically many of the stations alluding to the new age, astral exploration, Buddhism, or Paganism. (Skip allllll of the "chill" stations—they're awful.)
Here are some reviews of these stations, graded with Sri Yantras, aka the Tantric symbolic process of full enlightenment. There are links to the stations where available—these people aren't necessarily in it for the fame and recognition the internet has to offer! In fact, some of these stations aren't even on iTunes 24/7, you have to just catch 'em when you can. It's all about the vibrations, folks.
This is edgier music that likes to ask questions. I wrote that before I heard their slogan: "The message is in the music." It's kind of cool how it makes you think, and weirdly it's like it's reading your mind. (Isn't it completely bizarro when your iTunes is psychic? It's like that.) Then it gets a little sleazy like Ecstasy sex at Burning Man when the sun's coming up, not that I have any experience with that. For instance, a tune that sounds too close to—and maybe is—saying, "Now that we found love what are we gonna do with it?" over spa music. And it gets a little too confessional/cringey, and then when you're about to go, "This is wayyyy too cheesy for me," some super cool devotional music hops on and you change your mind.
RATING: 4/5 Sri Yantras
2. Pagan Radio
Man, this is pretty serious. Humorless. Non-Jesus Gregorian-style chanting for way too long. Heavy, heavy, heavy. It's not always available, probably because it's like lead: Small doses can block harmful energy from ripping through your body willy-nilly, though constant exposure is toxic.
RATING: 2/5 Sri Yantras
3. ASTRAL Relaxation, Meditation, Healing, Mothereffing Pachelbel's Canon. This station is like one of those motivational posters that actually make you feel worse about your life. Sample track:
RATING: 1/5 Sri Yantras
4. New Age RadioThis could be beautiful sometimes for meditation background. (I know, I know, it's supposed to be quiet when you're meditating unless you're a wimp and need sound to guide you, but sometimes it's fun to have a little psychedelic prod.) This is the intense shit. You're not going to get light the easy way here. Prepare to face some "issues" on this station.
RATING: 3/5 Sri Yantras
5. Birdsong RadioThis was more of a personal challenge. I thought there was no way it could actually be just birds, nonstop, and I was wrong. Along with the slow-motion metronomic action of a drowsy woodpecker, you can also enjoy the sounds of a million birds tweeting at once. Made me cuckoo. (Har.)
RATING: 0/5 Sri Yantras
6. Calm Radio's Healing ChannelCalm Radio has the market on lock for bizarre atmospheric radio stations, one of which is just sounds of the Air Conditioner (aka "pink noise"); in fact, they have a whole range called "Ringing-in-the-Ears Channels." These people do not mess around.
I tuned into this specific station when I was actually sick, just to see if it worked. It started off like someone made the soundtrack to a Western film on one of those mouth harps underwater. Then it got really churned up, and turned into someone slowwwwly tweaking an oscilloscope. Maybe I was loopy from the fever, but it gave me the urge to make out with my dog. If you are not in the mood for this kind of music, it is grating. There are very high pitches and odd, hollow drones. There are often no discernible rhythms, if any rhythmic devices at all. The flute is a favored instrument, and there is no shortage of harps. There is arpeggio and flange galore. Then it will suddenly turn into a celestial haunted house with a romantic Spanish guitarist in the corner playing a duet with a child on xylophone. It's truly, truly avant-garde, and will blow your mind with weirdness.
RATING: 5/5 Sri Yantras!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 7- by 11-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
In a bowl, stir the oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, coconut, flax seed meal and cinnamon. Transfer to a dry sheet tray and toast in the oven for 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
While dry ingredients toast, in a medium pot, add the honey, coconut oil and vanilla. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the honey turns a copper color, 12 to 15 minutes.
Pour the honey into the dry ingredients and mix until well coated with the honey mixture.
Pour onto the prepared baking pan. Pack down the ingredients. Bake for about 10 minutes; the middle may seem slightly sticky but it will cool nicely. Let cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Flip over, take off the parchment and cut into rectangles. Serve.
For other flavors, make the following substitutions to the recipe above: Ruby (Cranberry): Omit the almonds and add an additional 1/4 cup dried cranberries. Nathan (Blueberry/Almond): Substitute the cranberries with dried blueberries. Enzo: (Cashew/Almond): Omit the cranberries and add 1/4 cup cashews to the dry ingredients. Ellie (Cashew/Date): Substitute the almonds with cashews and substitute the cranberries with dried dates.
