Louis Ricciardi says Taunton's Myles Standish Industrial Park, recognized as one of the Bay State's premier industrial parks, is on track to developing its final two property phases, known numerically as four and five.
But he also said if Taunton wants to continue competing with other municipalities vying for new economic development and investment, it needs to further adjust its tax rate in favor of those interests.
Ricciardi, president of the nonprofit Taunton Development Corporation, said the TDC and its partner — finance and development agency MassDevelopment — have been negotiating with two companies interested in locating within one of the final two land phases.
He's optimistic closing papers will be signed and passed for either a lease or purchase agreement by spring. Ricciardi declined to identify the two parties at this time.
"We're well into negotiating right now," he explained.
Going through the process of permitting and engineering, Ricciardi said, can take "an unbelievable amount of time."
Those "layers of approval," he said, "definitely adds a cost" to a company's project.
He doesn't blame anyone in particular for what he says has been a 20-year trend in Massachusetts of added red tape, that ostensibly exists to ensure greater compliance with a number of considerations, ranging from wetlands conservation to sidewalk installation.
"I would assume they're there to help," he laughed. "Some of the reasons are understandable and some are hard to understand."
Ricciardi said the two companies are among "more than half a dozen" businesses "with active interest" in settling into the park's final phases.
Myles Standish Industrial Park, at last count, according to Ricciardi, had 98 companies and 6,225 employees.
The smaller Liberty & Union Industrial Park in East Taunton has 11 companies — which includes the sizeable Jordan's Furniture corporate and distribution facility — and a total of 809 workers, he said.
MassDevelopment and the TDC formed a partnership in 2012, creating what is now known as Taunton Development/MassDevelopment Corp., or TD/MDC for short. The Boston agency was instrumental in negotiating an agreement for TDC with the state to transfer 220 acres of surplus land abutting MSIP for phases four and five.
That state surplus property had formerly been known as Paul A. Dever State School, which for years provided housing and care to people with severe learning and intellectual disabilities. In the 1940s the property was known as the U.S. Army's Camp Myles Standish.
The cost to demolish buildings and clean up contamination from the Dever campus site, which contains a network of underground tunnels, has been put at $25 million.
A life-science training center and campus, to be called Taunton Education and Training Center, is going to be built mainly within phase five, according to Ricciardi.
That project is part of the state's 10-year, $1 billion life sciences initiative to provide bio-tech and technology oriented companies with qualified workers.
Ricciardi said it was a positive step when Taunton's City Council in November approved a property tax ratio, that slightly shifts the burden away from businesses to residential property owners.
But even with the new tax ratio for fiscal 2014, he said the TDC is at a disadvantage compared to other, highly competitive cities and towns, such as Middleboro, Fall River and Franklin.
"We still have the best park in the state, but it's (tax rates) definitely been a factor we hear about," he said.
Ricciardi said MSIP, besides easy access to Interstate 495, benefits from reasonable utility rates from Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant and top-notch infrastructure service from the city's department of public works.
But, he says, whereas in years past Taunton was ranked in the middle of the pack in terms of an attractive tax rate for businesses, it has allowed itself to become one of the two or three most expensive in that regard.
Ricciardi says that's particularly relevant now because of the slow economic recovery. Many companies, he said, remain "cautious and are less aggressive" in making commitments to expand.
"Job participation is still poor. You talk to people on the ground, your friends and neighbors, and they'll tell you that the recovery is slow," he said.
The Myles Standish park is the city's tax property tax provider, producing in excess of $11 million annually, according to Dick Shafer, a part-time project manager for TDC who previously was the city's economic development director.
That amount, he said, includes taxes paid by distribution businesses, which are considered commercial not industrial.
Shafer said the Liberty & Union Industrial Park provides about $1 million in property taxes.
When councilman John McCaul appealed to the City Council in November to adopt a more business-friendly tax ratio, he referred to a statistic mentioned on the radio by Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce executive director Kerrie Babin, in which she noted that the vacancy rate in MSIP had reached 13.6 percent.
Shafer doesn't dispute that the occupancy rate could be better, but he said other industrial parks in the state have had vacancy rates double that of Myles Standish Industrial Park.
The top taxpayer among the two Taunton parks is General Dynamics C-4 Systems. Its two main buildings in MSIP in FY13 generated $685,000 in property taxes.
The runner up is Jordan's Furniture, which, according to the office of the tax treasurer, paid $613,000.
Although he wouldn't provide specifics, Ricciardi said the TDC has taken steps to tighten security within the grounds of phases four and five.
A number of empty Dever buildings on the property in recent years have been torched and burned. The Dever School closed in 2002, but it wasn't until phases four and five were sold for $1 to TDC/MDC that a private security firm left.
When a building, which typically contains asbestos, is burned to the ground, he said it causes a delay for the demolition company hired to take down the building in controlled phases.
To stem the tide of arson and vandalism, Ricciardi said a security firm had been hired to provide rotating shifts of personnel. But he said it's tough to fully prevent trespassers unless a round the clock patrol is provided.
Ricciardi, 54, has been president of TDC for eight years. He said he has volunteered with the group for 15 years.
He's also owner and president of Taunton-based Louis M. Ricciardi Financial Group.
The TDC, he said, is an all-volunteer group that consists mainly of local business people. Sitting members also include the mayor and City Council president. Meetings, he said, are held twice a month.
"It's a real group effort," he said.

TALLAHASSEE — Call it another unfortunate plot twist in an already upsetting script.
State taxpayers, who handed out $20 million in incentives to a now-bankrupt movie studio, are being asked to dig back into their pockets to pay lawyers to try to get the money back.
The state Department of Economic Opportunity has hired bankruptcy attorneys Sean Cork and Albert del Castillo at $540 per hour to try to reclaim money awarded in 2009 to Digital Domain Media Group — the animation company behind Titanic founded by renowned director James Cameron.
The $20 million in incentives helped lure Digital Domain to Port St. Lucie. But the company filed for bankruptcy in September, closed its offices and laid off 300 Florida workers.
The Department of Economic Opportunity, an office under Gov. Rick Scott, has asked the Legislature for $500,000 to help recoup the state's original $20 million investment.
"The department will take any steps possible to seek the return of taxpayer dollars," said Monica Russell, spokeswoman for the Department of Economic Opportunity. Lawyers for the state say Digital Domain broke its contract by failing to notify the state it had filed for bankruptcy.
Whether taxpayers will get some, none or all of their money back is unknown. On average, it takes about 16 months to clear up a bankruptcy case, according to the U.S. Courts Statistics Division.
The episode, however, raises clear questions about Florida's process of luring companies to the state with up-front cash on the hope that they will create high-paying jobs here. Scott has asked the Legislature for more freedom to recruit businesses to the state with cash incentives.
In total, Florida has disbursed about $4 billion in business incentives — which translates to about 16 percent of the state budget or $212 per taxpayer, according to database by the New York Times. Only a handful of states give more.
State officials say they have a vetting process to make sure companies that get state money are a good bet. Enterprise Florida, a public-private business partnership that screens the companies, did not recommend funding for Digital Domain because the company predicted too low of a return on investment.
But lawmakers handed over the money anyway.
"The best safeguard is the state's vetting and approval process currently in place," said Russell, the state spokeswoman. "Digital Domain was not approved through the normal vetting and approval process and was the only unrecommended funded project included that year."
Scott has ordered an investigation into how the company received state funding.
In September, the Times/Herald reported that state Rep. Kevin Ambler, R-Tampa, tucked the funding into the 2009 state budget. Ambler later got a $20,000 position on Digital Domain's board, and the company hired Ambler's son.
Neither Ambler nor Digital Domain could be reached for comment.
Even with vetting, the state has not always accurately predicted which companies will go bust, forcing Florida to litigate them in-house or hire outside counsel. If a company survives but doesn't meet certain benchmarks — such as creating the promised number of jobs — state contracts have "clawback" provisions to help them retrieve their money.
State officials say Florida has retrieved about $20 million in the past two years.
Although Digital Domain Media Group is now defunct, federal bankruptcy law allows creditors to go after the money in the company's estate, said Jeffrey Davis, a bankruptcy lawyer and faculty member at the University of Florida. Digital Domain sold the firm's assets for $30.2 million within 12 days of filing for bankruptcy.
But the state is in line with local governments and investors who contributed a total of $135 million in cash, land and tax credits. Digital Domain, which declared bankruptcy in Delaware, is named hundreds of times in the states' court filings.
"If the state has a claim for a breach of contract, it can submit its claim in bankruptcy along with all the other creditors and get a share of what the company pays out, which is usually cents on the dollar," Davis said.
The problem is not just money.
Florida State University created a film school in partnership with Digital Domain. The school, which has 25 students paying $28,000 a year in tuition, is grappling with whether to maintain a stand-alone campus in South Florida without the assistance of Digital Domain, or pay an estimated $3 million to move the facility in Tallahassee.
Provost Garnett Stokes said students and faculty want to stay in South Florida and the school has an obligation to finish the program for current students — who began just last fall.
"Our primary focus is on making sure we deliver the same rigorous content and learning outcome we have promised to our students," she said.

This week I visited the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic site (in Alabama).
The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-Americans who served in World War II with the U.S. Army Air Force.
The Airmen were featured this year in a fictionalized action film starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard.
The National Park Service maintains the historic site I visited inside a hangar. It is not terribly large, but there are several interesting displays and artifacts from the Airmen's training and service.
The colorful airplane replicas were fantastic!
If you missed the movie in theaters, it will be out on dvd and blu-ray on May 22!

Board of review (Scouts BSA)
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Boards of Review
A periodic review of the progress of a Scout is vital in the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Scouting program in the unit. The unit committee can judge how well the Scout being reviewed is benefiting from the program. The unit leader can measure the effectiveness of his or her leadership. The Scout can sense that he is, or is not, advancing properly and can be encouraged to make the most of his Scouting experience.
Not only is it important to review those Scouts who have learned and been tested for a rank, but also to review those Scouts who have shown no progress in their advancement over the past few months.
The members of the board of review should have the following objectives in mind when they conduct the review:
- To make sure the Scout has done what he was supposed to do for the rank.
- To see how good an experience the Scout is having in the unit.
- To encourage the Scout to progress further.
The review is not an examination; the board does not retest the candidate. Rather, the board should attempt to determine the Scout's attitude and his acceptance of Scouting ideals. Scout spirit is defined as living the Scout Oath (Promise) and Scout Law in a Scout's everyday life. The board should make sure that good standards have been met in all phases of the Scout's life. A discussion of the Scout Oath and Scout Law is in keeping with the purpose of the review, to make sure that the candidate recognizes and understands the value of Scouting in his home, unit, school, and community.
The decision of all boards of review is arrived at through discussion and must be unanimous.
When a boy satisfactorily completes his board of review for a rank or an Eagle Palm, tenure for his next rank or Eagle Palm begins immediately.
Scouts 18 or older. Scouts who have completed all requirements for a rank prior to their 18th birthday should submit their application and be reviewed and recognized within three months after that date. For Eagle Scout boards of review conducted between three and six months after the candidate's 18th birthday, a statement explaining the reason for the delay must be attached to the Eagle Scout Rank Application when it is submitted to the Eagle Scout Service. If an Eagle Scout board of review will be held after the six months following the candidate's 18th birthday, the Eagle Scout must petition the National Boy Scout Committee for an extension of time to hold the board of review. The petition must be processed through the local council, detailing the extenating circumstances that prevented the board of review from being held within the six-month period following the candidate's 18th period, and be accompanied with a copy of the Eagle Scout Rank Application.
For the composition of boards of review for Varsity Scout teams and Venturing crews, see "Varsity Scout Advancement" and "Venturing Advancement.
Review for Tenderfoot Through Life Ranks and Eagle Palms. After a Scout has completed all requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star, and Life ranks, or an Eagle Palm, he appears before a board of review. This board of review is made up of at least three and not more than six members of the troop committee. One member serves as chairman, usually the committee member responsible for advancement. Unit leaders, assistant unit leaders, relatives, or guardians may not serve as members of a Scout's board of review.
The review shall be conducted at a convenient time and location, such as a meeting, summer camp, or the home of a member of the troop committee.
The review has three purposes:
- To make sure the work has been learned and completed.
- To check to see what kind of experience the boy is having in his patrol and troop.
- To encourage the Scout to advance to the next rank.
Because many boys are ill at ease when talking to adults, it is important that the board be held in a relaxed atmosphere. A certain amount of formality and meaningful questioning should be used during the review.
The Scout should be neat in appearence and his uniform should be as correct as possible, with the badges worn properly. It should be the desire of the board to encourage the Scout to talk so that the review can be a learning experience for the candidate and the members of the board.
The review is not an examination. The Scout has learned his skill and has been examined. This is a review. The Scout should be asked where he learned his skill, who taught him, and the value he gained from passing this requirement.
The Scout reviews what he did for his rank. From this review, it can be determined whether he did what he was supposed to do. The review also reveals what kind of experience the Scout is having in the troop. With that knowledge, the troop leaders can shape the program to meet the needs and interests of the Scouts.
The board should attempt to determine the Scout's ideals and goals. The board should make sure that a good standard of performance has been met. A discussion of the Scout Oath and Scout Law is in keeping with the purpose of the review, to make sure the candidate recognizes and understands the value of Scouting in his home, unit, school, and community.
The board of review members should feel free to refer to the Boy Scout Handbook, Scoutmaster Handbook, or any other references during the review. The Troop Committee Guidebook contains examples of questions that could be asked during a review.
The review should take approximately fifteen minutes. At the conclusion of the review, the board should know whether a boy is qualified for the rank or Palm. The Scout is asked to leave the room while the board members discuss his achievements. The decision of the board of review is arrived through discussion and must be unanimous. If members are satisfied that the Scout is ready to advance, he is called in, congratulated, notified as to when he will receive his recognition, and encouraged to continue his advancement or earn the next Palm.
If the board decides that the Scout is not ready to advance, the candidate should be informed and told what he has not done satisfactorily. Most Scouts accept responsibility for not completing the requirements properly. The members of the board of review should specify what must be done to rework the candidate's weaknesses and schedule another board of review for him. A follow-up letter must be sent to a Scout who is turned down for rank advancement, confirming the agreements reached on the actions necessary for advancement. Should the Scout disagree with the decision, the appeal procedures should be explained to him. (See "Appealing a Decision" below.)
After the board of review is completed, the Scoutmaster is informed of all of the decisions that were made by the board of review.
Remember, after a Scout satisfactorily completes a board of review, he cannot be recognized until that action is reported to the council service center on an Advancement Report. A monthly report keeps unit records current and is a good practice. The troop scribe should also keep a record in the Troop/Team Record Book for easy reference by the Scoutmaster and use by other boards of review.
Eagle Scout Boards of Review. The Boy Scouts of America has placed the Eagle Scout board of review in the hands of either the troop, team, crew, or ship committee or the district or council committee responsible for advancement. The council will decide and promulgate which method or methods may be used.
The board of review for an Eagle candidate is composed of a minimum of three members and a maximum of six members, 21 years of age or older. These members do not have to be registered in Scouting, but they must have an understanding of the importance and purpose of the Eagle board of review. At least one district or council advancement representative shall be a member of the Eagle board of review, when conducted at the unit level, and may serve as chairman if requested to do so by the unit.
Because of the importance of the Eagle Scout Award, a unanimous decision must be reached as to the Scout's qualifications. If a unanimous decision is not reached, a new review may be conducted at the request of the applicant, the unit leader, or the unit committee. The review should take approximately thirty minutes.
The Twelve Steps from Life to Eagle. The following twelve steps have been outlined to ensure a smooth procedure for the Scout, the unit leadership, the local council, and the volunteers who are to conduct the board of review. Share these steps with each Eagle candidate so that he can fully understand the procedure that must be followed by the Scout, the district, and the council.
- 1. In order to advance to the rank of Eagle, a candidate must complete all requirements of tenure; Scout spirit; merit badges; positions of responsibility; while a Life Scout, plan, develop, and provide leadership to others in a service project; and the Scoutmaster conference.
- 2. Using the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, the candidate must select his Eagle service project and have the project concept approved by his unit leader, his unit committee, and the benefactor of the project, and reviewed and approved by the council or district advancement committee (see "Service Projects -- Eagle Scout Rank"). The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No. 18-927, must be used in meeting this requirement.
- 3. It is emparative that all requirements for the Eagle Scout rank except the board of review be completed prior to the candidate's 18th birthday. When all the requirements except the board of review for the rank of Eagle, including the service project, have been completed, an Eagle Scout Rank Application must be filled out and sent to the council service center promptly. (See Advancement for Youth Members with Special Needs and the section titled Time Extensions.)
- 4. The application should be signed by the unit leader at the proper place. The unit committee reviews and approves the record the record of the Eagle candidate before the application is submitted to the local council. If a unit leader or unit committee fails to sign or otherwise approve an application, the Eagle candidate may still be granted a board of review. The failure of the unit leader or unit committee to sign an application may be considered by the board of review in determining the qualifications of the Eagle candidate.
- 5. When the completed application is received at the council service center, its contents will be verified and the references contacted. The council advancement committee or its designee contacts the person listed as a reference on the Eagle Scout Rank Application either by letter, form, or telephone checklist. The council determines the method or methods to be used. The candidate should have contacted those individuals listed as references before including their names on the application. The candidates should not be involved personally in transmitting any correspondence between persons listed as references and the council service center.
- 6. The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, properly filled out, must be submitted with the application.
- 7. After the contents of an application have been verified and appropriately signed, the application, Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, and references will be returned from the council service center to the chairman of the Eagle board of review so that a board of review may be scheduled. Under no circumstances should a board of review be scheduled until the application is returned to the chairman of the Eagle board of review. Reference checks that are forwarded with the application are confidential, and their contents are not to be disclosed to any person who is not a member of the board of review.
- 8. The board of review for an Eagle candidate is composed of at least three but not more than six members. One member serves as chairman. Unit leaders, assistant unit leaders, relatives or guardians may not serve as members of a Scout's board of review. The board of review members should convene at least thirty minutes before the candidate appears in order to review the application, reference checks, and service project report. At least one district or council advancement representative must be a member of the Eagle board of review if the board of review is conducted on a unit level. A council or district may designate more than one person to serve as a member of Eagle boards of review when requested to do so by the unit. It is not required that these persons be members of the advancement committee; however, they must have an understanding of the importance of the Eagle board of review.
- 9. The candidate's unit leader introduces him to members of the board of review. The unit leader may remain in the room, but he does not participate in the board of review. The unit leader may be called upon to clarify a point in question. In no case should a relative or guardian of the candidate attend the review, even as a unit leader. There is no set of questions that an Eagle candidate should be asked. However, the board should be assured of the candidate's participation in the program. This is the highest award that a boy may achieve and, consequently, a thorough discussion of his successes and experiences in Scouting should be considered. After the review, the candidate and his unit leader leave the room while the board members discuss the acceptability of the candidate as an Eagle Scout. The decision must be unanimous. If the candidate meets the requirements, he is asked to return and is informed that he will receive the board's recommendation for the Eagle Scout rank. If the candidate does not meet the requirements, he is asked to return and told the reasons for his failure to qualify. A discussion should be held with him as to how he may meet the requirements within a given period. Should the applicant disagree with the decision, the appeal procedures should be explained to him. A follow-up letter must be sent to the Scout confirming the agreements reached on the action(s) necessary for the advancement. If the Scout chooses to appeal, provide the name and address of the person he needs to contact. (See "Appealing the Decision" below.)
- 10. Immediately after the board of review and after the application has been appropriately signed, the application, the service project report, references, and a properly completed Advancement Report are returned to the council service center.
- 11. When the application arrives at the council service center, the Scout executive signs it to certify that the proper procedure has been followed and that the board of review has recommended the candidate for the Eagle Scout rank. The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook and references are retained by the council. The Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook may be returned to the Scout after council approval. Only the Eagle Scout Rank Application is forwarded to the national Eagle Scout Service.
- 12. The Eagle Scout Service screens the application to ascertain information such as proper signatures, positions of responsibility, tenure between ranks, and age of the candidate. Any item not meeting national standards will cause the application to be returned for more information. If the application is in order, the Scout is then certified as an Eagle Scout by the Eagle Scout Service on behalf of the National Council. Notice of approval is given by sending the Eagle Scout certificate to the local council. The date used on the certificate will be the date of the board of review. The Eagle Award must not be sold or given to any unit until after the certificate is received by the council service center. The Eagle Scout court of honor should not be scheduled until the local council receives the Eagle Scout rank credentials.
Appealing a Decision
Two sets of circumstances may lead to the appeal of a decision.
First, if the unit leader or unit committee does not recommend the Scout for a board of review, or if the unit leader or unit committee does not sign the Eagle Scout application, the Scout or other interested party may appeal the decision at the next level.
Second, if the appropriate board of review does not recommend the applicant for the rank advancement, the decision may be appealed to the next higher level. The Scout, his leader, or his parents may appeal the decision. With all appeal applications, the final decision rests with the national Boy Scout Committee. In ascending order, levels are unit, district, local council, and national Boy Scout Committee.
On receipt of an appeal, the district or council committee responsible for advancement will provide for a prompt review to determine the facts. All parties must be interviewed either individually or as a group, but a confrontation should be avoided. A written report with all details must be prepared for the committee responsible for a decision or for forwarding to the national Boy Scout Committee, if necessary.
All appeals to the national Boy Scout Committee must be processed through the Scout's local council. A copy of the Scout's Eagle Scout Rank Application must be included when petitioning at the national level.
Courts of Honor
Each time a Scout advances in rank, he should be recognized on two occasions. The first should be as soon as possible after a Scout has been approved by a board of review and an Advancement report has been filed with the council office -- preferably at the next unit meeting. This ceremony should be dignified but simple, involving not much more than presenting the Scout with his new badge of rank.
The second occasion is a court of honor, a public ceremony to recognize Scouts for successful achievement and to describe the importance of the program. The main purposes of the court of honor are to furnish formal recognition for achievement and to provide incentive for other Scouts to advance.
Formal courts of honor should be conducted at least four times a year. All Scouts who have advanced since the previous court of honor are honored. Their parents and friends should be invited to attend the ceremony.
When a Scout has earned the Eagle Scout rank, he deserves a special recognition. The Eagle Scout ceremony may not be conducted until the action of the board of review has been approved by the national Eagle Scout Service.
Procedures for conducting courts of honor and Special First Class and Eagle Scout courts of honor are described in Woods Wisdom: Troop Program Features.
Badges of rank, merit badges, and Eagle Palms are restricted items. These items may not be sold or distributed unless the Advancement Report, No. 34403A, has been properly filled out and has been submitted to the local council office. To do otherwise will jeopardize individual youth members' record of achievement.

It's too random. It's nearly impossible to set an exact path to the ball.
It good, now editor test mode was bugged, no menu in the bottom
I've noticed a little bit of lag while playing in addition to the physics being slightly inconsistent and the levels very difficult. One level in particular simply required an inordinate amount of waiting as your ball moved so damned slow. Others required two precision ricochet shots in a row that were just tedious. The presentation and music are fine but I just can't seem to enjoy this game that much. Maybe if it were easier to get used to the controls. If you could fire based off of the mouse's distance from the cannon it would be easier to play systematically, especially if the game showed the angle of the cannon as you aimed.
Try mine! :D 136943
Fun game, I like the fact that you can create your own levels and play them, aswll as other people's level. :D
Here is my level --> 132570
Everything is possible in this level, even the extra ball in the far right corner. Just remember, force is not everything!

Question: As you know, most of us develop some degree of lumbar disc degeneration as we age. My recollection is that a few years back there was a significant movement among all major hotel chains to offer upgraded bedding. Thicker, firmer mattresses with plush tops became common. Although many properties maintain these, some properties are using thinner, softer mattresses with considerably less back support. What's best?
Randall Gellens
San Diego
Answer: What's best for you depends on your shape, your size and your needs, mattress experts told me.
I can tell you that, as I am writing this, I have just rolled out of a hotel bed, and this mattress is not what I need, unless I need to feel as though I have been run over by a cement mixer.
Among the culprits in my lack of well-being (and I use the term loosely): Father Time, the hotel's mattress and my own inert ways.
As we age, the cumulative trauma to the back, whether from lifting improperly, injuries or the ravages of time, can make the back a problem area, said Dr. Joseph Feinberg, physiatrist in chief at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City (a physiatrist is "a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation," Merriam-Webster says). If you have disc problems, you may need more support from the mattress.
If you are in that latter category, that's good news for you because hotels tend to have mattresses that are a little firmer, even if that's not what everyone needs. "The more petite you are, the more shapely you are, the softer the bed you should have," said Alistair Hughes, managing director for Savoir Beds, a British luxury bed brand with roots in London's Savoy Hotel.
Hotels gravitate toward firmer beds partly to stand up to the rigors of repeated use and partly because guests tend to use mattresses in ways that are different from what we do at home, Hughes said. Yep, some of that wild behavior you're now thinking about includes sitting on the edge of the bed as you make phone calls.
The other issue, whether you're at home or on the road, is your traveling companion, who may need something different from what you need.
Celebrity Cruises has been installing on its ships the Reverie sleep system, which allows the mattress to be "rearranged," said Martin Rawls-Meehan, Reverie's chief executive.
If your side of the bed doesn't suit you or your partner has an issue with the mattress support, the "dream cells" that are at the core of the mattress can be rearranged by zipping off the top and moving around those cells. (If you're on the ship, the butler or room attendant can do that for you.)
If you want a hotel with high-end bedding or a certain kind of mattress, call and ask. (Reverie also has mattresses in boutique hotels, and Savoir is in luxury hotels.) That perhaps should be one way you choose your accommodations.
If you're not staying in a place where a premium is placed on the mattress, you can help ward off the morning-after malaise, said Feinberg, who has suffered back problems most of his life. Having the proper diagnosis and getting guidance from physical therapists and other professionals about what's best will be beneficial in managing your issues, he said. He travels a good bit, and he never fails to follow the exercise routine created with his back in mind.
Rawls-Meehan noted that sleeping well is about more than just waking up pain-free (although this morning, that doesn't sound bad to me); it's about getting a great night's sleep.
You may not be sleeping on a multi-thousand-dollar Savoir or Reverie mattress when you're on the road, but the benefit that comes from minding your back, whether by sticking to an exercise schedule or choosing a hotel whose beds you like? Priceless.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut 1/2 to 3/4-inch croutons from the loaf of bread and place on a baking sheet and put into the oven until dry but not browned.
Use a mortar and pestle to mash the garlic with 4 tablespoons of oil and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Strain the oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add the dried croutons and fry, tossing constantly until all of the oil is absorbed and the croutons turn gold. Set aside.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the eggs and cook for 1 minute. Chill in ice water to halt cooking. Set aside.
In a very large bowl, tear lettuce and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining kosher salt and the black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil. Toss well. Add the lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Break in the eggs. Toss until a creamy dressing forms. Toss in Parmesan cheese and serve with croutons.

The lively neighbourhood of San Telmo lies only 6 blocks from the Plaza de Mayo. With its faded glory, narrow cobblestone streets, a fabulous street market and squares where people dance tango, San Telmo is one of Buenos Aires' most popular attractions.
San Telmo's somewhat dilapidated buildings are part of this neighbourhood's charm. The streets attract young artists and intellectuals who have flocked to San Telmo en masse. The neighbourhood is also home to small family-run bakeries, lovely antiques shops and hip bars, making San Telmo one of Buenos Aires' most beloved neighbourhoods.
San Telmo emerged in the 17th century as a working class neighbourhood. Back in those days the Calle Defensa was nothing more than a path leading down to the harbour. The neighbourhood was mostly home to dockworkers, fishermen and slaves. In the 19th century, the neighbourhood's infrastructure was upgraded and gas lanterns were installed on the streets. These improvements immediately attracted richer residents who began to build beautiful houses here. The colonial buildings with high doors and windows are still one of the characteristics of San Telmo.
Of course a neighbourhood with such a rich history offers plenty of attractions. Visit the gorgeous Farmacia de la Estrella at Calle Defensa - an old pharmacy from 1834. The original wooden cabinets and the beautifully decorated ceiling will take you back in time. The pharmacy is also the entrance to the Museo de la Ciudad, located on the second floor; this museum is entirely dedicated to the history of Buenos Aires.
For more nostalgia continue to Bar El Federal, on the corner of Carlos Calvo and Perú. This wonderful café decorated with 19th-century ads and photos is a great destination for a drink. Tango fans will absolutely love El Viejo Almacén, a small colonial 18th-century house that features one of the oldest tango theatres of the city. Founded in 1969 by renowned Argentine tango singer Edmundo Rivero, the theatre still hosts spectacular tango performances.
Every Sunday, San Telmo hosts the Feria de San Telmo, an enormous antiques and flea market that begins on the Plaza Dorrego and spills over into the surrounding streets. It can be hard to decide where to start, but we highly recommend strolling from the Plaza de Mayo through Calle Defensa. The long street is packed with antiques stalls and street performers and tango dancers lend a unique charm. Afterwards, browse the market around the Plaza Dorrego (every Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm).
Plaza Dorrego, Buenos Aires

What is it?
Log4j is a fast and flexible framework for logging application debugging messages.
With log4j it is possible to enable logging at runtime without modifying the application binary. The log4j package is designed so that these statements can remain in shipped code without incurring a heavy performance cost. Logging behavior can be controlled by editing a configuration file, without touching the application binary.

Future developments
Ceki Gülcü, the founder of the log4j project, is currently working on a successor called logback (licensed under GNU LGPL). However, development of log4j goes on. See this posting.
According to Curt Arnold (posting of Jun 5, 2007):
Development on log4j 1.3 has effectively ended in preference for working on log4j 2.0 designed for JDK 1.5 and higher and continued support of log4j 1.2 for existing applications and earlier JDKs. log4j 1.3 was stuck in having too many compatibility issues to be just a dot release but not a radical enough change to address some long standing issues. Many months of work were done to improve the compatibility between log4j 1.3 and log4j 1.2, but many hard issues still remained. It seemed better to bring features originally designed for log4j 1.3 back so they could be used with deployed log4j 1.2 versions and move on to something for the modern era. Some early experiments for log4j 2.0 are in the sandbox, but it hasn't been built out to a functioning framework yet.
logback does position itself as a migration path for log4j users. The development model, design objectives and licenses differ between logback and log4j and the resulting products will have different strengths. As a log4j core developer, I feel that I can't become intimately familiar with logback code due to its license and the potential repercussions of an accidental code leakage into log4j, so I'm not going to be in a position to give a point by point comparison on logback and log4j 1.2 or log4j 2.0.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Chris Paul knows exactly what that chest-swelling experience is like when you represent your country in the Olympics and return home with gold around your neck.
That experience, twice, and a living coaching legend like Mike Krzyzewski have served as incentive for Paul to reconsider his future participation with USA Basketball, namely for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"If it had been another coach than Coach K, I was prepared to be done," Paul told ESPN.com over the weekend.
A healthy dose of peer pressure probably didn't hurt the cause. Pau's teammates on the gold medal winning team from the 2012 London Olympics, Kevin Durant and Kevin Love, officially signed on for next summer's World Cup of Basketball in Spain and 2016 during last week's USA Basketball mini-camp in Las Vegas.
Paul reconsidering could have an impact on other veteran stars (LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, etc.) who were ready to move on and leave coveted slots on the Men's Senior National Team's roster for both tournaments to younger stars.
There's no shortage of talent, especially at point guard. Paul could be in competition with the likes of Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry and a host of others vying for a roster spot in 2016. There were eight point guards on the mini-camp roster last week in Las Vegas.
But Paul would seem to be a lock for 2016 given his relationship with Coach K and the fact that he's already earned golds in Beijing in 2008 and in London last summer. Three years is plenty of time for Paul and any other members of that 2012 team to reconsider their options. Not all of them are expected to even consider the possibility of another run in 2016, but USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo made it clear last week that the door remains open for at least a handful of those stars to rejoin the player pool that will produce the 12-man roster for Rio.
And as of today, only Durant and Love are committed for both Spain next summer and Rio in 2016.

Story highlights
- Study links oil exposure to heart defects in Gulf killifish
- The species is the "canary in the coal mine" for the Gulf Coast, scientist says
Lingering oil residue at the bottom of Gulf Coast marshes caused heart defects and hindered reproduction in a small fish seen as an environmental bellwether, researchers said Thursday.
The Gulf killifish spends its whole life in the marshes of the Gulf Coast, with few in their lifetimes venturing more than a football field's length from where they were born. Because of that, they've been the subject of several studies since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill erupted off Louisiana in April 2010.
The latest, conducted by scientists from Louisiana State University and University of California-Davis, found killifish embryos that were exposed to oiled sediments hatched at a rate 40% lower than those cultivated in samples from un-oiled sites. Those that did hatch were smaller, had lower heart rates and had cardiovascular deformities that were likely to hurt their chances of survival, said Ben Dubansky, an environmental toxicologist at Louisiana State University.
"Early life exposure affects heart function, and these abnormalities persist until adulthood and make it harder for fish to survive, evade predators and eat," Dubansky said.
The findings were published online this week in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Science and Technology. Co-author Andrew Whitehead said the killifish is the "canary in the coal mine" for the Gulf Coast, where scientists are still trying to catalog the effects of the 2012 disaster.
"They're the most abundant fish in these marshes," said Whitehead, a genome biologist at UC-Davis. "They're a really important forage species -- that means a lot of the fish that we care about commercially eat them. They're really important as that sort of middleman member of the community ... Their biology is going to reflect the quality of their local environment."
Because the oil spread across the Gulf in patches, Whitehead said it's still too early to tell what the findings mean for killifish populations overall. The study this week isn't a direct sign that the numbers are shrinking, but it's a warning, he said.
"Any animals that share a similar habitat to our killifish are going to be at similar risk to this species, and there are lots of commercial species that we care about that share the same habitat," he said.
In earlier studies, scientists observed deformities in the gills of killifish. In this study, Whitehead said, "We brought the field into the lab" by collecting water and sediment samples from areas that had gotten hit by oil during the spill, introducing embryonic killifish and comparing the results to fish cultivated in samples from un-oiled sites.
"What we found were pretty clear and dramatic and pretty obvious development differences in the embryos exposed to the oiled sediments," he said.
Killifish are typically a few inches long and commonly used as bait. There's no sign that the oil components are accumulating in their meat, but the fish are suffering "massive biological effects" as their systems process the compounds, said LSU environmental toxicologist Fernando Galvez, another collaborator on the study.
Researchers are still trying to assess the damage the spill did to the Gulf Coast, but fishermen in some parts of Louisiana say the catch has yet to recover from the spill. Oil company BP, which owned the ruptured well and is responsible for the cleanup, announced plans for nearly $600 million in restoration projects in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana this week.
The new research was funded by the National Science Foundation and the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative, the BP-funded effort to study the environmental impact of the Gulf spill.
BP said in a statement Friday that while the company had not had a chance to review the data in the new study, "it is important to note that there are many sources of PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or compounds in the oil that settled into the sediments) and other stressors that elicit the biological effects described in the killifish paper. These sources have existed for years in Louisiana marshes, and not all are associated with oil."
BP says the spill has cost it more than $32 billion to date, including cleanup costs, compensation and penalties. It's currently in a federal court in New Orleans, seeking to avoid a finding of gross negligence that could result in another $17-plus billion in fines under the Clean Water Act.

Customer Quotes:
Dan Yancey, Systems Engineer, Cook Children's Hospital
"Our environment here at Cook's is about 85% virtualized with approximately 650 virtual machines. We backup as much as 10 TBs nightly to a Data Domain system, then replicate to a second remote Data Domain system. As a long time NetWorker user, we were quite eager to participate in the 8.0 beta program, and were really pleased with the new enhancements to the product on several fronts. DD Boost at the NetWorker client combined with the new Client Direct feature improved backup performance to the point where we could run backups two times a day-or even more, which is really important in a large hospital environment. As a Microsoft shop, we found the additional application support features to be very helpful, and the new configuration wizards were very useful--especially to some of the newer team members who were not as experienced with the NetWorker product."
Michael Briggs, Head of Infrastructure, Cancer Research UK
"At Cancer Research UK, our goal is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured and our IT department is viewed as a strategic weapon in this long-term battle. Our integrated EMC NetWorker and Data Domain systems are cornerstones in the protection of our scientific research, supporter data and mission critical applications. The EMC backup and recovery solution we implemented has performed flawlessly since we deployed it and will pay for itself within 18 months."
Industry Analyst Quote:
Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
"EMC has delivered a rich set of new backup to disk enhancements for NetWorker users with its 8.0 release, some of which will have immediate impact in existing user environments and others that will help enable more progressive backup and recovery initiatives. Deeper integration with Data Domain, enhanced Microsoft workload support via its consolidated agent and the new Client Direct feature are high value additions that will make NetWorker 8.0 a particularly compelling proposition for large enterprises with diverse sets of backup data."
EMC Executive Quote:

Dennys Food and Recipes: Thanksgiving: Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake: From Denny: This is the perfect holiday table dessert! It's so showy it's sure to impress. Three layers of tasty goodness are the gingersnap cookie crust as it's sturdy foundation to hold the spiced pumpkin cheese layer that is marbled with a vanilla layer.
Like most big cheesecakes, this one should be baked in a springform pan, where the cake cools in the pan for several hours before you remove the sides of the pan. If you have never used a springform pan, it's so easy it will make you laugh, definitely nothing to be intimidated about at all.
Like any tasty cheesecake, this one is rich in calories too, so a small serving would be welcomed by most. At a dinner party I like to cut a normal to small sized slice, placing it on one plate and then encourage couples to share so people don't have to feel guilty about busting their diet plan. After all, the whole point of entertaining is for people to enjoy their tasty treats!...
Help support women on their journey to wellness and hope for a cure!

Also, please remember that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, keeping these women in your thoughts and prayers. Here's my latest Denny Lyon Gifts design (at Cafe Press) to honor all the fabulous women and their supporters fighting this disease.
This design first started off as one of my photos of those favorite hot pink azalea blooms, in addition to many other filters, employing a kaleidoscope filter to create this abstract medallion effect. This design reminds me of how our beauty is always there, no matter what form it takes. Of course, here in Louisiana, we take creative "French" license with English spellings. :) The thought bubble is to remind others to support these women on their journey to wellness. Lots of other styles of t-shirts and other products to enjoy too. The link takes you to the page of all the products featuring this design. Thanks for visiting!

While the Trick Stick is certainly a big change, it doesn't shake the gameplay foundations nearly as much as the new GameBreaker system. Fans of the previous games surely know what GameBreakers are, but here's a little primer for those of you who might have missed out. Every time you pull off a trick, make a big play (such as a steal or a block), or throw down a nasty dunk, you'll accumulate some trick points, gradually filling up your GameBreaker gauge. Once it's completely full, you can enter GameBreaker mode by holding down the turbo buttons and shooting or pocket it in an effort to reach the second level.
What's the difference between the two, you ask? To begin with, the number of points taken away from your opponent are greater if you're able to successfully pull off the second one, ranging anywhere from 2 to 4 points. This is the essence of the GameBreaker system, as you can blow a game wide open with just one shot., though yours can be erased if your opponent is able to fill up his or her gauge. The other big difference, and this is a significant one, is that on the first level, your shot can be blocked, although it's not easy. The second level GameBreaker, on the other hand, features an unstoppable animation, but you'll have to work much harder to get it.
Like I said, though, most of the last title's GameBreaker system (yes, the one I just explained in-depth) has been thrown out the window. You'll still have to fill up your gauge by performing tricks and slamming the ball home, and successfully pulling it off will put more points on your side of the board while taking them away from your opponent. However, that's essentially where the similarities end. In NBA Street V3, you only have one level to choose from, so you'll have to use your GameBreaker before the time limit runs out, or you're back to sqaure one.
The biggest change in the system, however, is that you'll actually be in complete control of your players as the action around them slows down. When you finally enable the GameBreaker, everything will fade to black, except for your players and the ball, and it'll be up to you what happens next. If you decided to shoot from downtown, you'll simply release the ball and it will go in. Though there isn't a lot of fun in that, it comes in quite handy if the game is going down to the wire.

Welcome to Rodder's Life
Welcome to Rodder's Life official website. Back in 2004 Michael had an idea to produce the first Hot Rod, Custom and Classic car show on television. Starting on Channel 31 and other community channels around Australia, Rodder's Life quickly became the highest rating show on channel 31, showing 5 times a week. During this time with emails starting to flood in, Michael replied to each and every one and added the catch phrase "IT'S A RODDER'S LIFE". The show then went to New Zealand on Wasabi television. A few years on and Michael moved the show to Foxtel/Austar, broadcasting nationally and the show still being repeated throughout the week.
The car culture is without doubt, an entrenched component of the Australian way of life. Rodder's Life explores the many varying aspects of the industry. Displaying the many car events, the preparation and work that goes into the events, the people behind the scenes, and also showing the everyday people who build, restore and love their prized processions. Rodder's Life leaves no stone unturned, interviewing the many women who support the industry and those women who love to drive, build and race the cars. The next generation of Rodder's are already in the shed learning how it's done and driving around in their mini rods at the events. Rodder's Life interviews all various car enthusiasts from the restored originals, muscle, classics, customized to the max, chopped, tubbed or anything that is different.
The vast demographics of the shows audience has been a great achievement, in that Rodder's Life has a fan base of between 2 years and 90 year olds. This has been gained by way of the fabulous format gained through segments being produced for all tastes, from building, technical tips, away on events and sponsors being involved in competitions with prizes for all. At any event and where ever Michael goes, people call out the catch phrase, it's a rodder's life.

Florida rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second period before allowing South Carolina its second power play tally of the game midway through the final frame and to tack on an empty netter. With the win, the Stingrays moved into a tie with the Everblades for 2nd-place in the South Division though Florida holds two games in hand. Both teams now trail division-leading Gwinnett by four points with the regular season rapidly approaching its conclusion. Charles Landry, who has spent chunks of the past couple months with Syracuse, notched his first goal for Florida since January 20th after having gone eight games without finding the net. Pat Nagle, after turning in a brilliant performance on Wednesday, took the loss for the Everblades. Florida (33-21-11, 77 PTS) and South Carolina(35-25-7, 77 PTS) will square off again late Sunday afternoon in yet another crucial match for both clubs.

Xavier Shay's SocialBeat app allows you to livecode OpenGL in Ruby, and control that OpenGL with MIDI at the same time. This screencast illustrates some rough, proof-of-concept example material.
This is one of the roughest, messiest screencasts I've ever done. You'll think I was drunk. But it's worth watching anyway. This is a very innovative app. The flattering part: Xavier told me he got the idea from my RubyFringe presentation on Archaeopteryx.

The Bisons could not recover from an Eagles' five-run first, as they fell 9-1 to Georgia Southern on Friday, March 16.
Eagles' starter, right-hander Drew Murray, kept the Bisons offense off-balance throughout the game, giving up just one run in the second inning, while throwing a complete game.
Casey Bond led off the second with a single up the middle, before moving to second on a groundout by Shane Simpkins. Ryan Wilkins followed with a single to right, scoring Bond, for Lipscomb's only run of the game.
Bisons' starter, Rob Smithson, allowed seven runs in six innings of work to record his first loss of the season, and lower his record to 3-1.
Right-hander, Jerry Young, relieved Smithson to start the seventh and allowed two runs in 1/3 of an inning.
Matt Bowling threw 1.2 scoreless innings to close out the game.
Wilkins led the Bisons on offense with a perfect day at the plate, going 4-4. Joseph added two hits.
The Bisons will be back in action tomorrow, Saturday, March 17 when they take on Georgia Southern in game two of the weekend series. The game is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m.
Left-hander Rex Brothers is expected to make the start for the Bisons. On the season, he is 4-1 with a 4.15 ERA. In 26 innings, he has given up 16 runs, while striking out 25. Opponents are batting just .184 against him.
