Lost in all the excitement around Apple's iPhone 5C/5S announcement this week is news that the Cupertino consumer electronics giant will no longer charge for its iWork mobile productivity apps. Is this a serious threat to Microsoft's Office juggernaut?
"What you may not know is that iWork is now the best-selling mobile productivity apps on any platform," Apple CEO Tim Cook said earlier this week at the firm's iPhone announcement. That sounds impressive on the face of it, but of course Microsoft gives away Office Mobile, and that release is literally brand new on both Android and iOS as well.
I've used iWork many times throughout the years and it's a typical Apple product in that it's big on presentation and light on functionality. But it's also the type of thing that is perfectly adequate for the needs of most users, especially those that don't require Microsoft Office compatibility. This is perhaps a bigger audience than some would like to admit.
From Apple's perspective, iWork is super important because it gives its users a way to create content, not just consume it. This was a chip on Steves Jobs' shoulder and Cook's explicit mention of this fact this week is pretty much all you need to know. The message is clear: While some people may see iOS devices as toys, Apple does not.
Taken together with iMovie and iPhoto for iOS, "no other platform has apps like this," Mr. Cook said. And he's right, especially about those creativity titles. But in the past, iWork was hampered by the fact that it was a paid product. So effective immediately, Apple is going to bundle them free on any new iOS device, just like Microsoft provides Office for free on many new Windows 8 and all new Windows RT devices. (It's not clear to me how this impacts existing users. Do they still have to pay? It appears so.)
This announcement didn't register too highly on anyone's radar, but now that bloggers have written pretty much all they can about the iPhone 5C/5S, some are turning their attention to this and other lesser announcements. And the opinions are all over the place.
First, Crazy Town. CNNMoney reports that free iWork for iOS makes "Microsoft the biggest loser." "Apple iWork is the scariest foe that Microsoft Office has yet faced," the report notes. Um. That's a bit of stretch. Right?
Maybe not. The saner sounding Al Hilwa offers the following take. "The Office franchise is exposed to erosion as non-Windows mobile devices take productivity work away from Windows PCs and mobile devices," he writes in Geekwire. "Microsoft has to rethink its vision of the dominance of Windows in the mobile world and adjust to the reality that it will be at best one of several major players in future devices and will never have the control it did in the pre-touch era."
The issue? Consumers must pay $99.99 a year to access Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps on their iPhones or Android devices. And since those are the bigger platforms on mobile, i.e. mainstream computing, that's fewer people even considering Office.
Fair enough. People like me would—do—argue that Office 2013/Office 365/Office Web Apps are superior to what Apple offers, or to Google's Drive/Docs solution. But that doesn't negate the point made above, that these alternate solutions may be good enough.
This is a problem because Office is Microsoft's single biggest business. It made over $25 billion in revenues in its most recent fiscal year. And with Windows facing serious threats of its own—Android, Chrome OS and iPad/iOS—this would be a terrible time for Office to finally falter too.
I'm not 100 percent convinced that iWork is an Office killer. But as with my note about Chrome OS yesterday—see In New Attack on Windows, Chromebook Heads to Intel "Haswell" for the details—this is something Microsoft needs to take seriously. I will be keeping an eye on this as well.

PEP program puts college within reach for local students
Higher education is often seen as out of reach for many. With rising costs and a tighter belt on federal funds, potential students depend on scholarships to make the dream of college possible.
In Plainview, one program is bringing university education closer for many students. With the Plainview Education Partnership, funded in part by the Plainview Area United Way, local students can attend Wayland Baptist University tuition-free for their first year.
Enrollment for PEP, as it is known, occurs each fall for high school juniors, with an informational meeting at the high school. This year, the meeting will be held Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. in the Plainview High School cafeteria. At the meeting, students and parents can learn what is required for the program and have the opportunity to enroll at that time. The final deadline to enroll is Sept. 27.
After enrollment, students must maintain a B average and have at least 95 percent attendance through their junior and senior years. As long as those two requirements are met, the graduating senior is eligible for 30 semester hours at Wayland over the next fall and spring semester.
According to Shawn Thomas, director of admissions at Wayland, approximately 100 juniors enroll in PEP each year, with nearly half actually enrolling at the university. Though some transfer after the first year, the hope is that local students will find their local university to be a second home. For some, being able to stay close at home and earn their education makes Wayland the perfect solution.
Alanna Dixon, a sophomore at Wayland, fell into that category. A native of Plainview, Dixon enrolled in the PEP program her junior year at Plainview High, admittedly not knowing what was really involved.
In her senior year, Dixon began looking toward college, limiting her applications to a nearby state school and Wayland. After getting to know some Wayland students who worked with her youth group at First Baptist Church, she decided Wayland was where she needed to be.
"The PEP scholarship made a big difference, too," she said. "College is expensive as it is, but that helped out a lot."
Her parents, Marcia and Don Dixon, agreed.
"Like a lot of parents, when you only have a little set back for your kids' education, the PEP made all the difference in them being able to go somewhere and delay those student loans a little longer," Marcia said. "From another perspective, if a student doesn't really know what they want to do, this gives them a place to go while they decide. They can be exposed to all the things colleges have to offer and maybe something will click with them. It's a great springboard for them."
"It's a wonderful program and so few students take advantage of it, I think because they feel like they're stuck at home," she added. "But there is such a great community family at Wayland, and some do decide to stay."
Her daughter met that description as well.
"I met so many people there, and everyone is so friendly," she said. "The professors really work with you, no matter what you're going through."
While she hasn't yet picked a major, Dixon said she is at home at Wayland for now and is glad she decided to stick around.

There is no commercial cultivation of genetically modified crops in Italy, but many field trials with GM crops have been approved, the most recent of these being for tomato, eggplant and lemon.
No GM plants are being grown commercially in Italy. This may change only after the Ministry of Agriculture validates regional co-existence plans, which is not expected before Spring 2007.
At present, the competent authority has no information concerning the creation of regional public registers regarding the location of cultivated GMOs.
A wide range of GM crops has been approved for field trials: tomato, maize, potato, eggplant, rice, olive, strawberry, lemon, kiwi, raspberry, colza, wheat, and lettuce. From 1999 until December 2004 there were 279 deliberate releases of GM plants. Since 2003, there have been only three applications for the deliberate release of GMOs in Italy.
All applications for field trials with GMOs in Italy can be found in the BVL register.

This opens a whole new chapter for them as well as I; one we're all pretty psyched about : ).
Seeing my finds brought to life by them is a dream come true. I just love how the products are statement worthy, yet styled in a way that never looks 'costume-y' or 'dated'. Instead, their presentation is a perfect hybrid of vintage, street, and high fashion – resulting in looks that are do-able and appropriate for every day. You can't help but get inspired!
On top of that, these ladies are the real deal. Such genuinely cool, kind, and creative people. They're every bit as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, so I feel very blessed to be working with them. It's been a lot of fun so far, and I'm very excited for what the future holds.

Japan is no stranger to catastrophe. From the near-constant sequence of storms and earthquakes that have buffeted these vulnerable islands to the unthinkable that unfolded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese have seen their land leveled, rebuilt and leveled again. But the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan this March were unique in their ferocity, their suddenness and the extent of their destructive power.
Eight months later, the cleanup is well under way, but those who wish to bear witness to the raw wound that was northern Japan in the wake of the tsunami should see the photo collection ATOKATA, just published by the Tokyo-born photographer Kishin Shinoyama. Shinoyama brought his camera to the scene within weeks of the tsunami, and he captures a land ripped apart. Stunned tree limbs, twisted metal and shattered stone bear witness to the moment when, as Shinoyama writes, "nature destroyed itself with an overwhelming energy."
Yet even in Shinoyama's dire images there is a hint of recovery. Disaster is in the Japanese DNA—but so is resilience.
Kishin Shinoyama is a photographer based in Japan. ATOKATA was published November 21.

The Feingold diet involves the elimination of artificial colors and flavors as well as other food additives as a potential way to resolve a number of behavioral and cognitive difficulties. This diet is based on the premise that allergic reactions or sensitivities to certain components of foods may contribute to the symptoms of certain medical conditions.
Dr. Benjamin Feingold, the founder of the Feingold diet, was a pediatrician and allergist in San Francisco, California in the United States. While working with patients who were allergic to aspirin, he found that some of them reacted both physically and behaviorally to certain foods and food additives. In 1973, Feingold proposed that salicylates, artificial colors, and artificial flavors may cause hyperactivity in children. He suggested a diet free of these chemicals, and named it the KP diet. The media then changed this name to the Feingold diet.
This diet may help children diagnosed with hyperkinesis or hyperactivity. When present with other symptoms, hyperactivity is a symptom of attention deficit disorder (ADD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Many parents of children with ADD or ADHD adopt this diet for their children.
Advocates of this diet also claim that asthma, bedwetting, ear infections, eye-muscle disorders, seizures, sleep disorders, stomach aches, and other conditions may respond to the Feingold program. Sensitivity to synthetic additives and/or salicylates may be a factor in antisocial traits, compulsive aggression, self-mutilation, difficulty in reasoning, stuttering, and excessive clumsiness. There is currently conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of the Feingold diet in treating these conditions. The etiology (origin) of disorders that the Feingold diet claims to benefit, such as ADD and ADHD, are also the subject of vigorous debate in the scientific community.
Theory / Evidence
There is currently conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of the Feingold diet in treating a variety of conditions. The etiology (origin) of disorders that the Feingold diet claims to benefit, such as ADD and ADHD, are also subject of vigorous debate in the scientific community.
Proponents claim that this diet can treat a wide variety of conditions including marked hyperactivity, which is characterized by constant motion, running instead of walking, inability to sit still, and inappropriate wiggling of legs/hands. It is also claimed to treat impulsive actions seen as disruptive behavior, unresponsiveness to discipline, unkindness to pets, and poor self-control. Destructive behaviors, such as throwing and breaking things, little or no recognition of danger to self, inappropriate noises, excessive or loud talking, and abusive behavior have also been targeted as intentions of therapy for the Feingold diet. Proponents also claim that compulsive actions including aggression, perseveration/repeating of an activity, touching things or people excessively, workaholic habits, chewing on clothing, other objects, scratching, biting and picking at the skin, can be treated by the Feingold diet, along with emotional concerns such as low frustration tolerance, depression, frequent crying, irritability, nervousness, low self-esteem, mood swings, and suicidal thoughts. It has also been claimed to treat short attention spans, characterized by impatience and distraction. Other proposed conditions treated include neuro-muscular involvement such as poor coordination, dyslexia, speech delays, tics, some seizures, and cognitive and perceptual disturbances including auditory memory deficits (difficulty remembering what is heard), visual memory deficits (difficulty remembering what is seen), difficulty in comprehension and short term memory and reasoning.
Many parents who have followed Feingold's recommendations have reported improvement in their children's behavior. FAUS, which has local chapters throughout the United States along with international chapters, claims that fidgetiness, poor sleeping habits, short attention span, self-mutilation, antisocial traits, poor muscle coordination, memory deficits, asthma, bedwetting, headaches, hives, seizures, and many other problems may respond to the Feingold program. However, some experiments fail to support the idea that additives are responsible for such symptoms in the vast majority of children.
Through the 1970s, Feingold published a series of studies in which a diet free of salicylates, artificial flavors and colors resulted in a remission of symptoms in 30-50% of children diagnosed as hyperactive. In the following years, further experimental studies resulted in tests of the original diet and a modified diet with salicylates included but artificial additives excluded. None of the studies gave unqualified support for the hypothesized diet effects, and there were also reports that may disprove the theory. Findings suggested that some hyperactive children (10-25%), mostly younger ones, respond favorably to a diet free of artificial additives. The lack of conclusive evidence dictated the need for additional research.
A study conducted by Brenner in 1977 involved 59 children, ages 6 to 14 years, diagnosed as hyperkinetic. Of 32 who were able to tolerate the Feingold low-salicylate and additive-free diet, 11 were markedly improved. A placebo effect could not definitely be ruled out, but the changes seen in patients who had been followed for years with other forms of therapy suggested that this improvement was genuine.
In 1980, a review team assembled by the Nutrition Foundation concluded that double-blind studies have not shown consistent deterioration in behavior of hyperactive children when challenged with artificial food colorings. The results of this study contrast those reported by Feingold and others, which claimed that 32-60% of children improved dramatically with the elimination of additives under non-blind conditions without placebo controls. This suggests that the method of testing may play a role in the results, and should be noted when interpreting the results of a study.
A 1983 study by Lipton and Mayo examined Feingold's proposition that hyperactivity and learning disabilities in children are commonly caused by the ingestion of food additives and claimed that elimination of foods with additives from the diet resulted in major improvements in three-quarters of hyperactive children. This study compiled the results of multiple controlled double-blind studies over a period of 5 years, and concluded that 2% (contrasted with Feingold's claims of 75%) of hyperactive children respond adversely to dye additives, and even the 2% were questionable. According to the authors, there is no need for high-priority research or for changes in public policy regarding the use and labeling of foods containing additives. Sugar and aspartame (an artificial sweetener) have also been blamed for hyperactivity, but available well-designed studies have found no evidence supporting such claims. Hyperkinesis has multiple etiologies, which require other types of biological and psychological research.
A study done in 1988 by Rowe included 220 children with suspected hyperactivity. Fifty-five children were chosen to participate in a 6-week trial of the Feingold diet. Of these 55 participants, 40 (72.7%) demonstrated improved behavior and 26 (47.3%) remained improved following liberalization of the diet over a period of 3 to 6 months. Also in this study, 8 children were maintained on a diet free from synthetic additives and were challenged daily for 18 weeks with either placebo or 50mg of either tartrazine or carmoisine (synthetic colorings) each for 2 separate weeks. Two of these 8 children were classified as having significant reactions to these additives, characterized as extreme irritability, restlessness, and sleep disturbance. One of these children had inattention as a feature while the other did not.
Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is considered a neurophysiologic problem that is detrimental to children and their parents. Despite previous studies on the role of foods, preservatives and artificial colorings in ADHD, this issue remains controversial. An investigation conducted by Boris in 1994 evaluated 26 children who met the criteria for ADHD. Treatment with a multiple item elimination diet showed 19 children (73%) responded favorably. On open challenge, all 19 children reacted to many foods, dyes, and/or preservatives. A double-blind placebo controlled food challenge was completed in 16 children. There was a significant improvement on placebo days compared with challenge days. Atopic (genetically susceptible to allergies) children with ADHD had a significantly higher response rate than the non-atopic group. This study demonstrates a beneficial effect of eliminating reactive foods and artificial colors in atopic children with ADHD and claims that dietary factors may play a significant role in the etiology of the majority of children with ADHD.
Overall, the evidence on the Feingold diet (including additive free diets) is mixed. Nonetheless, this diet may have benefits in select groups of patients, such as allergy-prone individuals.

Diet outline
The Feingold Association of the United States (FAUS) is a non-profit membership based program, which guides dieters in the use of the Feingold diet. Adherence to this diet may require lifestyle and eating pattern changes. Both children and adults may follow the Feingold diet, although current available evidence has not evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy in these groups. The Feingold diet has varied and inconsistent support by medical doctors and naturopathic physicians.
The recommendations of this diet advise a two-stage plan. The first stage involves eliminating artificial colors and flavors, certain antioxidants, aspirin-containing products, and foods containing natural salicylates. After 4 to 6 weeks in this first stage, if an improvement occurs, certain foods may be reintroduced. The reintroduction of foods typically occurs one at time, and in moderation, during the second stage of this diet. This stage lasts until it is determined which, if any, of the eliminated products can be reintroduced.
Salicylate-containing foods that are eliminated may include cherries, cloves, tangerines, berries, coffee, plums, apricots, cucumbers, tea, apples, currants, tomatoes, peaches, oranges, almonds, pears, nectarines, grapes, raisins, grapefruit, green peppers, and prunes. Because most vitamin C containing fruits and vegetables are eliminated, this diet may require supplementation. A qualified healthcare provider should be consulted before making decisions about diets and/or health conditions.
Additives and other ingredients that are typically avoided include adipic acid, antioxidants, BHA (bishydroxyanisoile), BHT (bishydroxytoluene), benzoates, carminic acid, cochineal, colorings, concentrates, corn syrup, nitrites, sulfur dioxide, and sulfites.
This diet does not eliminate sugar or junk food specifically, but does encourage moderation of these food types. However, elimination of junk food that contains multiple synthetic additives is recommended.
Certain over the counter and prescription drugs, as well as mouthwash, toothpaste, cough drops, and various non-food products may have to be avoided to adhere to the elimination of certain additives.
The majority of foods included in this diet can be purchased at a neighborhood supermarket. However, it may be necessary to shop at a health food store in order to buy items such as natural toothpastes or lollipops that are free of artificial colors or flavors. There are also mail-order suppliers and websites that cater to individuals using the Feingold diet.
A sample day on the Feingold diet may include:
: One cup whole grain cereal, ½ cup 2% milk, two slices whole grain toast, two teaspoons butter.
: One cup vegetable soup with barley (without tomato), one jack cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, one cup milk (2% fat), two oatmeal cookies.
: Three oz. chicken breast, one baked apple, one dinner roll, two teaspoons butter, one cup low-fat milk, 1/2 cup pudding.

text: Early Diagnosis is Key July 26, 2014 02:57 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email During one of this year's Farm Journal Corn College hands on "In the Field Diagnostics" breakout sessions in Heyworth, Illinois, Bill Bauer of B&M Crop Consulting discusses the importance of early diagnosis in your corn fields. The key, Bauer says, is to identify when the issue occurred by examining the plant from the roots up and getting a diagnosis at the first sign of a problem. The sooner the better he says. Watch the full Corn College Field Diagnostics series with Bill Bauer on the Corn College channel. This year farmers also learned how to use NDVI maps and GPS on Ipads to help locate different locations in a corn field and diagnois what "problems" were occurring at that location. Each location had "good zones" and "poor zones" where participants were asked to go through these 6 steps when diagnosing crop condition. 1. Do a visual inspection(plant development, uniformity) 2. What does the stand look like ( population, stand and ear count) 3. Root development and soil density layers 4. Soil assessment- (compaction, slope, soil health residue) 5. Dissect the plants ( stalks and leaves) 6. Collect samples and analyze(soil test, tissue test, nitrate) Thank you to the 2014 Corn College sponsors: AgriGold, BASF, Chevrolet, Cover Crop Solutions, FMC, Great Plains Mfg., Precision Planting, SFP, Top Third, Yetter Mfg.

Posted Dec 13 2011 2:18PM - Updated Dec 13 2011 5:14PM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- The Charlotte Bobcats are gearing up for some small ball.
Starting center Kwame Brown agreed to a one-year contract worth $7 million with Golden State on Tuesday, leaving the Bobcats with one of the shortest starting lineups in the NBA.
The Bobcats planned to run quite a bit this season anyway, but now it will be imperative to play an up-tempo game.
"When you're so small you don't want to play half court with guys," said point guard D.J. Augustin. "You want to run and play transition and get some easy points off fast breaks."
Coach Paul Silas said he expects 6-foot-8 Boris Diaw to start at center for the rebuilding Bobcats.
Diaw averaged 8.8 points per game last season, but only 2.8 rebounds.
"We definitely don't have the height right now, so we'll definitely have to use our speed and quickness," Diaw said. "We have to move the ball around a lot. I won't be trying to post up Dwight Howard or guys like that."
Silas tried to paint a positive picture after losing Brown, considered the team's top priority to re-sign in free agency.
But in the end, $7 million was way too much to invest in an aging center particularly for a team that's rebuilding.
"We can look at it two ways," Silas said. "There are some negatives as far as defense and rebound and things like that with Boris in there. But there are some positives too. If Boris is in, the (other) center has to guard him. We want to run and I don't know of those centers will be able to get up and down the court with him."
At 7-foot, DeSagana Diop is the only true center on the roster, but he's not yet fully recovered from a torn right Achilles' tendon and said he needs to lose 25 pounds to get down to his playing weight of 280.
Silas said rookie Bismack Biyombo can also play some center once his contract issue is resolved.
Silas said the Bobcats would bring someone in from the outside "if it makes sense, but quickly added, "if not, we have to go make it happen."
"If you look at the teams going deep in the playoffs you need a real center. Somebody inside," Diaw said. "It's just that it's rare to find one. There's not many out there, and not many that a skilled, too. But you need one if you want to go far."
Diop could at some point assume the starting role at center, but he's not ready to do that now.
He said his knee is still giving him some problems as a spinoff from his Achilles' problem.
"I think I have a long way to go," Diop said. "I have to drop a few more pounds, but I'm going to keep working. It won't take me a long time. I lose weight pretty quick."
Silas said it would be difficult to imagine using Diaw too much right now, adding that "he's not in the best of shape."
"He's working at it and I think by the time the season starts he'll be in a lot better shape than he is now," Silas said. "Every day he's going all out."
Brown was one of the biggest bargains in the NBA last season.
Claimed as a reclamation project by Bobcats owner Michael Jordan, he cost less than $1 million under the salary cap yet contributed 7.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
Bartelstein said Brown was "extremely grateful" for his time in Charlotte and the opportunity to resurrect his career under Silas, whom he respects tremendously. But Bartelstein acknowledged the offer from Golden State was "just too good to pass up."
Silas said he hates to see Brown go, but certainly understands the decision.
"You're talking about seven million bucks and that's a lot of money," Silas said. "You can't fault him for that. More power to him."
NOTE: Silas said the Biyombo's contract status remains status quo. He's suing his former Spanish team Fuenlabrada for breach of contract. "We're still working at it and hopefully it will happen in the next day or so," Silas said.

The company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and estimates the net after-tax proceeds from the sale will be about $150 million.
"These news organizations have served as trusted institutions in their communities, delivering news and information that matter most to their readers," said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., chairman of The New York Times Company. "The sale of our Regional Media Group will enable The New York Times Co. to continue our transformation to a digitally-focused, multiplatform media company."

Under The New York Times Company's stewardship, the newspapers within the Regional Media Group have received three Pulitzer Prizes, including the 1971 Prize for editorials in The Gainesville Sun on the peaceful desegregation of Florida's schools; the 1997 Prize for spot news photography for The Press Democrat for a photograph of a firefighter rescuing a teenager from raging floodwaters; and the 2011 Prize for investigative reporting for The Sarasota Herald-Tribune's year-long series on the challenges Florida's property insurance industry have posed for ordinary citizens.
The Regional Media Group accounted for 11 percent of The New York Times Co.'s reported 2010 revenues of $2.4 billion. Other NYT properties include The New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, the Boston Globe and more than 50 websites, including NYTimes.com, BostonGlobe.com, Boston.com and About.com.

New London puts off tax-reform decision
New London - The City Council will ask for a six-month extension to continue studying a tax-reform program that shifts real estate values from buildings to land.
During an hourlong special meeting Monday, the council voted 4-2 to seek an extension from the state legislature on a proposed Land Value Tax pilot program.
"I support exploring it,'' said Mayor Rob Pero. "We were the first city, the poster child, to look into this for the state. I don't think we were given enough time. I feel we're rushing here.''
Last fall the state passed special legislation giving the city the authority to appoint a Land Value Tax Committee to study LVT, which emphasizes taxes on land rather than buildings, and possibly adopt a pilot program that would be the first of its kind in the state.
The committee, which began meeting weekly in October, researched and reviewed four possible models. In a 5-4 vote last month, the committee opted to stay with the status quo. But a minority report recommended the city implement LVT in a portion of the city's downtown.
Under the statute, the city had until Dec. 31 to act on a proposed pilot program. The committee studying the concept missed the deadline and has asked for, but has not yet been granted, an extension.
The council accepted the information from the committee and forwarded it to its administration committee for further review.
Shifting the burden
A land-value tax is supposed to shift the tax burden to the land and not penalize property owners for improving their buildings. Supporters believe the system would help reduce blight and encourage development of brownfields and vacant lots, in part because improvements to the physical condition of buildings would not lead directly to higher taxes.
Pero, Deputy Mayor Adam Sprecace and Councilors John Russell and Michael Passero voted for the extension. Councilors Wade Hyslop and Martin Olsen voted against it. Councilor Michael Buscetto III attended the meeting but had to leave before the vote.
"I have tremendous reservations about this,'' Olsen said. "I'm nervous regarding New London being used as a pilot program.''
Passero also added that the city should have more time to educate the public on land-value taxation.
"There hasn't been enough time to inform the citizens of what LVT would do for them," he said.
At a public hearing Tuesday, 16 people spoke in favor of implementing some kind of LVT program and seven spoke against.
The minority report also recommended a program to educate the public on the impact of land-value taxation.
But the majority report said large apartment buildings, larger shopping centers and car dealerships would be negatively affected by LVT.
" I think we still very much have an opportunity to work on LVT and keep honing it,'' said Art Costa, a member of the committee who recommended the city go forward with the new tax policy for downtown only.
"I think we are moving in a forward position."

Haven't heard about ticket sales or TV viewers. With the US and the kids out of this I'm sure the US TV share will drop to nil.
And that criticism started before the first pre tournament game.
A lot of people evidently saw what was coming.
IMO, Lombardi and Tortorella are the ones who should be wearing the thorny crowns for their part.
The whole philosophy from the outset was suspect and dated.
Ok, we don't have the overall skill and depth to match Canada.
That is pretty much a given.
So the solution?
Send a team that has even LESS skill than what is already available?
Leave talented players at home, including one who helped win a Stanley Cup, for players with 'heart'?
THIS is the blueprint to beat Canada?
You can have all the grit and 'sandpaper' and 'character' and all that cliched stuff you want...but if you haven't got the skill, what does it matter?
Lombardi and his crew were just kidding themselves.
Not only was this team NOT built to beat Canada, it was constructed so it would be life and death to beat ANYBODY.
And die they did.
And Tortorella....really, he was the first choice?
He was a disaster in Vancouver, no other way to put it.
His style is combative, contentious and always fraught with controversy.
And what was he doing weighing in on the Colin Kaepernick thing?
Didn't he have enough real issues to deal with already without creating one out of thin air?
Even if Team USA sent it's very best,it's doubtful they would have beaten Canada.
But that is precisely the point people, former players especially, are making.
This team wasn't even close to the best they could send.
This team was constructed on a dubious philosophy based on outmoded ideas.
The result was the team's competitiveness was compromised because it was not as skillful as it could have been.
The irony is American hockey's future is very bright, evidenced by the performance of the American players on Team NA.
But "The Big Team' failed miserably because the management and coaching was living in the past.
Semi final 1: Canada 5, Russia 3. Don't be fooled, this game wasn't close. If it wasn't for Bobrovsky, the Russian goalie, this was about a 10-3 game. I can't recall seeing Russian team ever with as little offensive skill and pressure. They were no where, period. Canada has 4 lines that pressure you and come at you in waves one after the other. Eventually, they wear you out. Stamkos is snake bit though. He has had a million chances and couldn't find the net if it was the Pacific Ocean. Other then that I can't see Sweden or Europe beating this team 2 of 3.
It would have guaranteed at least one game between the 'Young Guns' and Canada which I think we all would have loved to have seen.
The pity is that team will never be together again so we'll never ever see that matchup take place.
Europe beats Sweden in OT, so they'll play Canada in the finals
Twitter: @CSmeeth
As disappointing as the play of the traditional powers has been (with one notable exception of course) the journey of Team Europe has been intriguing if not inspirational.
Can someone explain the choice of colors and logo for team europe ????
Here is an article on each nation's design and the reasoning behind it:
I'm not expecting much drama in the next couple of days. Kind of like going to see "Titanic", that is, you know how it's going to end.
But....who knows, as the saying goes, that's why they play the game. The "quilt" team might surprise.
On a positive note, if the NHL or whoever was behind this thing thought it could replace the Olympics, well it doesn't even come close.
Most of the games the Blues played back then were respectable scores but you knew damn well they weren't going to win.
Same here with Team Europe. Halak will keep it close, at least for a while.
It might wind up 3-1 tonight but SOG will be like 45-15.
Put it this way...if they're still playing on Oct 1st I will be shocked.
Team Europe deserves credit for making the most of this tournament. I was mildly surprised to hear about empty seats at the ACC. If I was in TO I'd try and grab one of those discount scalper tics.
Cum bibam cervisiam gaudeo.
In a new Puck Daddy article, Brett Hull was pretty critical about Team USA's management: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/brett-h...154211651.html
Twitter: @CSmeeth
Well something was clearly wrong...refreshing he actually will say something about it.
I guess Marchand proves he belongs at this thing. There was a bit of controversy about him but he's played really well and avoided most of the stupid stuff.
Right....like I was saying, Marchand deserves to be on this team....
They led the game for 40 minutes, took the play to Canada for the most part but just couldn't close the deal.
I thought Canada was in second gear in Game 1 and tonight they were a notch below even that.
But they managed to eke out the win and end this tournament that nobody seemed to want.
If most of the hockey world was indifferent about this event then perhaps in 4 years things will be different.
Because I really don't think the NHL will be in Korea for 2018.
The standoff between the NHL and the IOC is reaching critical mass.
Some thoughts on the latest edition of the World Cup...
Seems the overall reaction to the event was pretty underwhelming, especially outside of Canada.
I bet most of America wasn't even aware this was going on, much less care.
Sometimes the universe doesn't unfold as it should and it certainly was the case for this World Cup.
It was pretty obvious it was set up for a Canada-USA finale.
While Canada did its part, Team USA crashed and burned under the chaotic leadership of Tortorella, Burke and Lombardi.
In their misguided obsession to build a team to beat Canada, Hockey USA forgot they had to beat the other countries too.
They wound up accomplishing neither.
The story of the tournament without doubt were the respective performances of the two composite teams, North America and Europe.
Derided at first as gimmicks these two teams, employing styles of play that were the antithesis of each other, provided the most intriguing storylines of the whole event.
Team North America, or 'The Young Guns' were easily the most entertaining team in the event.
Their firewagon brand of hockey made it worth watching and were extremely unlucky to miss the playoff.
Team Europe, OTOH, were methodical and cautious and played within their limits.
They were the oldest team by far but used their collective experience and the coaching of Ralph Krueger to make an improbable appearnce in the final.
And even though they were swept 2 straight by Canada, for long stretches of time, especially in game 2, Europe was the better team.

BONIFAY � Aside from a few notable miscues, Arnold looked very little like a team in rebuilding mode Friday night.
BONIFAY � Aside from a few notable miscues, Arnold looked very little like a team in rebuilding mode Friday night.
The Marlins overwhelmed Holmes County on both sides of the ball in a game more lopsided than the score would indicate, posting a 35-0 victory at Memorial Field in a non-district game that marked the season opener for both programs.
The Marlins, a Class 5A school that finished 2-7 last year, proved too mighty for Holmes County, a Class 1A program also reloading this year. Arnold led 7-0 at halftime before taking control in the second half.
The Marlins swarmed Justice Bice in the backfield for a safety and a 9-0 lead early in the second half. Arnold quickly boosted its lead to 16-0 with Torri Cotton's 19-yard sprint to the end zone with 10:17 remaining in the third quarter.
Arnold's Connor MacKenzie blocked a punt out of the end zone to increase Arnold's lead to 18-0 with 7:44 left in the third quarter. Ninety seconds later, Marlin quarterback Cody Saunders located Dario Batiste open in the corner of the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown pass and a 25-0 advantage.
Marlins place-kicker Austin Peffers contributed with a 29-yard field goal with just over 10 minutes remaining for a 28-0 lead. MacKenzie, who had a punt return for a touchdown called back earlier in the game because of a penalty, scored on a 30-yard punt return with 6:44 left to provide the final margin and a running clock.
Saunders scored the Marlins' first touchdown of the season with a 1-yard sneak into the end zone for a 7-0 lead with 1 minute, 22 seconds left in the first quarter. That scoring opportunity was provided when Arnold's defense forced a fumble and recovered it at the Holmes County 14-yard line. Saunders scored seven plays later.
The Blue Devils responded with a 77-yard burst by Chad Leavins on the first play of their next drive. Darcel Johnson's tackle of Leavins at Arnold's 2-yard line saved a touchdown, however, and the Marlins forced Holmes County to lose a total of 6 yards on the next four plays from scrimmage to turn away the threat and preserve the shutout.
That goal-line stand punctuated a dominant performance by Arnold's defense, particularly the defensive line, in the first half. The Blue Devils gained 1 yard or fewer on 13 of 26 plays before halftime. Outside of the one long run, Leavins otherwise was limited to 0 yards on his other 10 carries in the first two quarters.
Arnold running back Torri Cotton amassed 76 yards on six carries in the first half, but he had two long touchdown runs negated by holding penalties. The first was a 62-yard scamper midway through the opening quarter. The other was a 66-yard romp early in the second quarter.
An Arnold penalty also spoiled Darcel Johnson's 43-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second half.
Cotton finished with a game-high 133 rushing yards on 11 carries, and Saunders finished with 113 yards on 6-for-12 passing.

text: TV / Video Chicago P.D. Off to a Promising Start on NBC A rare 10 p.m. win for broadcastBy Anthony Crupi|January 9, 2014 Share By Anthony Crupi|January 9, 2014 Share In a season marred by wholly forgettable 10 p.m. launches, NBC thus far is the only broadcaster showing signs of life in the final hour of prime time. The Peacock on Wednesday introduced a new Dick Wolf cop drama, Chicago P.D., and the preliminary ratings are promising. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the Chicago Fire spinoff delivered 8.59 million viewers and a 2.0 in the 18-49 demo, making it the second-biggest 10 p.m. debut of the season. (NBC's The Blacklist bowed Sept. 23 to 12.6 million viewers and a 3.8 in the dollar demo.) Chicago P.D. topped the year-ago debut of the flagship series, which kicked off in fall 2012 to 6.61 million viewers and a 1.9 in the demo. Compared to the previous time slot occupant, Chicago P.D. looks like a runaway hit. The Oct. 2 premiere of NBC's Ironside reboot drew a paltry 1.3 in the demo, whereupon the show's days were numbered. Canceled just 16 days after it arrived, Ironside averaged just 4.95 million viewers and a 1.1 rating. But for The Blacklist and Chicago P.D., such has been the plight of the new 10 o'clock crop. By far, ABC was had the worst luck; the network canceled its Tuesday night lottery drama Lucky 7 after two episodes—the show averaged 3.53 million viewers and a 1.0 rating—and Lucky successor Killer Women fared even worse in its debut. Per Nielsen, the Tricia Helfer vehicle bowed this week to a 0.9 rating. While it's still on ABC's Thursday night schedule, it's difficult to imagine how patient the net will be with its limited series, The Assets, which was D.O.A. with a premiere average of 3.77 million viewers and a 0.7 rating. CBS made a rare miscue with its serialized drama Hostages, which bowed on the first night of the season to 7.41 million viewers and a 1.8 rating. Despite getting drubbed by The Blacklist, CBS stuck to its guns, airing all 15 episodes. The network closed the curtain on the project by airing back-to-back episodes opposite the BCS title game. All told, Hostages averaged 5.16 million viewers and a 1.0 adults 18-49 rating. The drama that will replace Hostages Monday nights at 10 o'clock actually premiered Tuesday night at 9 p.m. For the time being, slap an asterisk next to CBS' Intelligence, which scared up 16.5 million viewers and a 2.4 rating; there's no way of telling how the newcomer will fare in its regular slot until it actually sets up house there on Jan. 13. Lastly, NBC's Dracula dropped to particularly impressive numbers for a Friday night drama, averaging 5.26 million viewers and a 1.8 rating on Oct. 25. Since then, however, the period piece has seen its deliveries fall to a 0.9. Chicago P.D. will face its first real test next week, when it goes up against CBS' CSI and ABC's Nashville. Last night, CBS pre-empted its regularly scheduled programming to present the People's Choice Awards (10.4 million viewers, 2.4 rating), while ABC aired a repeat of its November David Blaine special (3.85 million/1.4). If new series have long been finding 10 p.m. a tough nut to crack, a handful of legacy shows are holding their own in the hour. Of the top 30 broadcast series, five are veteran series that air in the final hour of prime: Scandal, Chicago Fire, Castle, Person of Interest and Elementary. Per Nielsen C3 data, Scandal was the top-rated 10 o'clock drama heading into the holiday break, averaging a 3.6 in the target demo. Share http://adweek.it/JKMs7L copy Adweek Adweek

In 2006, what were you doing? I was working at Kotaku. Derek was thinking about how he could get the greatest Link statue to ever grace this spinning blue ball we call Earth. If you ask me, he did just that.
Derek commissioned artisan Emily Fiegenschuh to sculpt Link, a process that took from 2006 to 2009. "Upon finding the perfect sculptor, I was trying to decide what Link's pose should be," Derel said. He didn't want something dull, but something classic.
"So in my head I went through all the wonderful games that starred our favourite green hero, and Super Smash Bros. came to mind," he continued. "At the time, Melee was the game I played the most, and the great thing about Smash is that you can pause the game and pan around the camera. And that's when it hit me... THE SPIN ATTACK."
By 2010, another sculptor, Joachim Höstlöf, got involved to create a sword, shield, and sheath. And this year, Derek brought on painter, John Allred, to complete the piece. The result is in the above video, and before you ask, no, it's not for sale.

A new, 2013 sport utility vehicle is at the top of the fuel mileage charts, and it's not from Honda or Toyota.
The smartly packaged, functional and new-for-2013 Mazda CX-5 earned a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 29 miles per gallon from the federal government.
This puts the CX-5 ahead of competitors such as the well-known Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
It also means the CX-5 ties the 2013 Nissan Juke, which is a smaller-sized SUV, as best fuel-sipper among non-hybrid SUVs.
Better still, while the Juke's turbocharged four cylinder requires premium gasoline, the CX-5's naturally aspirated four cylinder needs only regular unleaded.
The CX-5 is a recommended vehicle of Consumer Reports magazine, which lists reliability at better than average.
Mazda puts a lot of standard equipment into this five-passenger, crossover SUV. Every CX-5 comes with 17-inch, alloy wheels with Yokohama tires, rear spoiler, body-colored outside mirrors and door handles, push-button start and one-touch power up and down driver-side window.
And with a starting retail price of $21,790, value is part of the CX-5 story — to a point.
This starting retail price is for a CX-5 with front-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission.
Most drivers today buy automatics, and the starting price jumps considerably — to $23,190 — for a CX-5 with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. A 2013 CX-5 with all-wheel drive has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $24,440. All-wheel drive is available only with automatic transmission.
All CX-5s come with a 155-horsepower, naturally aspirated, direct-injection four cylinder.
The competing 2013 Honda CR-V, with 185-horsepower four cylinder, has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $23,625 with front-wheel drive and automatic. The CR-V's highest government fuel economy rating is 26 mpg in combined city/highway driving for a front-wheel drive model.
The 2013 Toyota RAV4, with a 176-horsepower four cylinder, debuts early next year and no pricing has been announced. The 2012 RAV4 has a starting retail price of $23,495 with automatic and front-wheel drive.
Mazda dropped its five-passenger CX-7 SUV after the 2012 model year to accommodate the new CX-5.
It's a good move, since the 2012 CX7 had a higher starting price — $22,985 for a base, front-wheel drive model — and was similarly sized to the CX-5.
But the CX-5's smaller displacement engine, with careful engineering to produce good response and top fuel economy, outshone the CX-7's, and CX-7 sales have been sluggish.
Meantime, the CX-5, which launched earlier this year, has garnered awards and sales around the world.
For example, the CX-5 was named Car of the Year in Japan. In Russia, which is Mazda's biggest European market, CX-5 orders are poised to easily surpass the company's sales target for the whole year.
American car buyers will like that the CX-5 has a stylish look that makes it seem like it's in motion even when it's standing still. There are lines in the exterior metal that carry the eye along the sides of the vehicle, and the front and back tie in attractively.
It's easy for easy petite women to get inside the CX-5. While passengers sit up a ways from the pavement, seats are well-positioned for most people to just set themselves onto the cushions without needing to climb up.
But there are only two interior colors offered — black and sand.
Standard cloth seats have pleasant upholstery, while the leather-trimmed seats in the test CX-5 Grand Touring model looked upscale and provided good support.
The 41 inches of front-seat legroom was a welcome sight for a 6-foot passenger, and even back-seat passengers get a generous 39.3 inches. This is an inch more than what's in the back seat of the CR-V and compares with only 32.1 inches of rear-seat legroom in the smaller Juke.
Headroom is good, too, with 40.1 and 39 inches, respectively, in the front and back seats of the CX-5. These figures are more than what's in the CR-V.
Yet, the test CX-5 handled more like a confident and poised car than a taller-riding SUV. The driver felt a noticeable connection to the pavement surfaces, and steering had good on-center feel and crisp, but not twitchy, response. Road noise came through from the tires on all but the smoothest of asphalt.
The commendable body control, which reduced any tippy feeling in curves and turns, translated into a firm, but not harsh, ride.
One thing that surprised: The turning circle for this 15-foot-long SUV is 39 feet, which is larger than that of many other compact SUVs.
It's true the CX-5's 2-liter, double overhead cam, direct-injection four cylinder isn't as powerful as those of some competitors, including the RAV4 and CR-V.
The CX-5's engine torque peaks at 150 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm, and there were times during the test drive where the engine sounded buzzy and pressured.
But at idle, the test CX-5 was impressively quiet, and the tester averaged nearly 27 mpg in city/highway travel.
It felt good to have a normal-acting automatic transmission with six gears smoothly delivering the power, rather than a continuously variable transmission that can drone on and leave a driver wanting for pre-set shift points.
The test CX-5 performed well on city streets and flat terrain and exhibited some lugging when on uphill highway stretches with a load of passengers inside.
Mazda does sell a trailer hitch and states the CX-5 can tow as much as 2,000 pounds.
Standard safety equipment includes six air bags, electronic stability control and traction control.
The CX-5 earned four out of five stars in overall crash tests by the federal government, with top, five-out-of-five stars in frontal testing and four out of five stars in side testing.

Diana Gabaldon, the author of eight "Outlander" novels, was recently asked about what the appeal is of a man in a kilt.
"I suppose it's the idea that you could be up against the wall with him in a minute," the writer cheekily related to the crowd during a panel at Comic-Con in San Diego last week. It's a rather provocative image, to say the least.
Now the very devoted fans of the books have something more to get excited about. After more than 20 years, "Outlander" is finally being turned into a TV series. The show will debut Aug. 9 on Starz, though the premiere episode is already available for free online and on video on demand. (Only half of the 16 episodes will air now, with the rest in early 2015.)
The first "Outlander" novel was published in 1991. It tells the story of Claire Randall, a beautiful World War II English combat nurse. Having been separated during most of the conflict, she and her husband, Frank, visit Scotland on a second honeymoon in 1945.
While there, the pair secretly witnesses a midnight pagan ritual at Stonehenge-style ruins. Interested in plants, Claire hikes to the site the next day to investigate an unknown flower she had spotted. While there, she hears a buzzing noise and faints, awakening in the Scotland of 1743.
Gabaldon was a full-time assistant professor in environmental studies at Arizona State University in her mid-30s when she decided to try writing a historical novel. Casting around for a subject, she happened to see an old "Doctor Who" rerun in which the time-traveler encounters a young Scotsman in a kilt from the 1700s. The image was "kind of fetching, and I was still thinking about this the next day in church," the author told television critics last January.
Knowing nothing about the Scottish highlands of the mid-18th century, but confident in her researching abilities, Gabaldon started there. And the rest is history.
Over the years, "Outlander" fans have speculated about who might be cast in a movie or TV version of the novel. The question that most piqued female fans' interest, though, was who would play the hunky Scotsman known as Jamie Fraser. It's he who saves Claire from nearly being raped in a weird twist that we will leave to viewers to discover. Eventually, she, of course, becomes enamored with Jamie, although initially all she wanted to do is get back to her husband.
The idea of taking "Outlander" to the screen has been around long enough that names like Liam Neeson were once bandied about to play the young rugged clansman. In the series, Jamie is embodied by Sam Heughan, a 34-year-old Scottish actor. While he doesn't have a huge film or TV resume, he has a solid theatrical background and — in what may be the biggest requirement — looks great in a kilt, which is what he was wearing for the TV critics.
"The kilt, as you can see, is a big bit of material," said Heughan, showing some knee. "These are obviously modern kilts, but in the show we use the feileadh mhor, which is the traditional kilt. It's a long bit of cloth. I can't remember the actual size of the traditional ones, but ours are about 7-8 feet long."
Think those worn in "Braveheart" or "Rob Roy," which did star Neeson.
The feisty Claire is portrayed by Caitriona Balfe, 34, an Irish actress and former model for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel. She also has walked the runway for Victoria's Secret.
"We all know who wears the pants in this relationship," Balfe, wearing black pants, joked sitting next to Heughan. The actress said "Outlander" devotees have been very encouraging since she was cast. "I don't think I was aware of the magnitude of the fans and how enthusiastic they were," she said. "I think it's just really nice to know that you have this built-in audience who really wants you to do well and are really supportive."
Though a woman from 1945, Claire has a very modern sensibility, having experienced the horrors of war and, judging by the first episode, a healthy sexual appetite.
For years Gabaldon fought to keep the "Outlander" novels out of the romance section and won with good reason. On the surface they may seem like bodice-rippers, but they are more like action adventures, set in a Scotland when the country was chafing under the harsh rule of the English. With a strong woman at its center, though, the main fans of "Outlander" novels are women. So Starz's challenge will be to attract men.
To give audiences a quicker sense of who Claire is, "Outlander" showrunner Ron Moore proposed a different beginning to the series than what was in Gabaldon's book. "We need to appreciate who she is immediately," he told the author. The series opens with Claire "in her element" as a wartime nurse in a combat zone amid guts and blood trying to save lives.
Gabaldon, known for being protective of her work, agreed. She not only liked Moore's ideas for the series but liked the idea that the story would be told over 16 episodes rather than a two-hour movie.
"I saw my role from the beginning as not reinventing this material but adapting it and sort of delivering it because there is an audience for it," said Moore, who his known for his success with the rebooted 2004 "Battlestar Galactica" series.
On the other hand, he knows there are moments where the page doesn't necessarily translate to the screen. "We may have to change something, but we always take pains to get back to where the book takes us because that's sort of our job."
Presumably, Claire's wartime experience makes her somewhat immune to the personal hygiene of the 18th century. While she does remark on some unpleasant odors emanating from Jamie, the sight of him in a kilt likely provides a distraction.
Still, the drama comes from a strong-willed modern woman with her own urges trying to survive in a testosterone-driven patriarchal world. Some fans are wondering if a scene in the book where Jamie takes a strap to Claire — something Gabaldon quickly points out her heroine doesn't like — would be depicted in the series.
"It's a shocking moment, but it's an important part of the development of one of the characters," said Moore. "So we're going to go for it."
