We will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
Toronto After Dark Film Festival ("TADFF") respects the privacy of all of its users and is committed to protecting such privacy in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains TADFF's treatment of your personally identifiable information collected in connection with your activities on or related to all TADFF websites referencing this Privacy Policy (the "TADFF Sites") and all services made available on the TADFF Sites (collectively, unless noted otherwise, the "TADFF Services"). This Privacy Policy also explains how you can ask questions and make suggestions about our privacy practices and review and update your personal information.
We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and to check back periodically as this Privacy Policy may change form time to time. Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites which are not owned or controlled by TADFF.
In the course of operating the TADFF Services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date and gender. Personal Information is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a TADFF Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a TADFF Service, enter a TADFF promotion or choose to receive a TADFF newsletter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our festival representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties.
Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, email address or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as your Internet Protocol Address (IP Address), the domain you may have used to access a TADFF Service, the type and version of browser or operating system you may be using, and the website you may have come from and visit next. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a TADFF Service, is also considered Non-Personal Information.
Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the TADFF Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie or through a Web Beacon when you choose to visit a TADFF Service.
Personal Information may be used by us for the following purposes:
Providing you with the TADFF Services and information you have requested from us, including your use of the TADFF Sites. We may from time to time use your Personal Information to contact you about changes, enhancements or similar notices related to the TADFF Services;
If you indicated that you were interested in receiving offers or information from TADFF or certain of our selected sponsors or advertisers, or enter any of our contests or promotions, TADFF may send you email materials and other mailings about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. If at any time you would like to end your subscription to any such email materials, follow the directions posted usually at the top or bottom of the email material, or send an unsubscribe request to firstname.lastname@example.com;
If you enter a contest or other promotion offered on a TADFF Site, we may, under the rules of the promotion, use your name and certain other information to administer the promotion, such as contacting, announcing and promoting the winners of the promotion. You may also be added to our Festival Update List to receive similar promotional opportunities, from which you can unsubscribe at any time;
TADFF may also use Personal Information if it has reasonable grounds to believe the information could be useful when investigating a contravention of a federal, provincial or foreign law or in order to protect or defend a legal interest.
We will not sell or rent your Personal Information to anyone. We will only disclose your Personal Information to third parties:
Where you have specifically given us your consent to disclose your Personal Information for a designated purpose;
Who are acting on our behalf as our agents, suppliers or service providers, solely to enable us to more efficiently provide you with the TADFF Services.
As may be set out in the Terms and Conditions applicable to a TADFF Service, to facilitate the provision of such TADFF Service, such as fulfilling legal requirements;
As required by law, including by an order of any court, institution or body with jurisdiction or authority to compel the production of information, or in order to protect or defend a legal interest; or
In connection with a TADFF corporate re-organization, merger or amalgamation with another entity, or a sale of all or a substantial portion of the assets of TADFF provided that the Personal Information disclosed continues to be used for the purposes permitted by this Privacy Policy by the entity acquiring the information.
A TADFF Service may contain links to other websites and services. While we try to link only to sites and services that share our high standards and respect for privacy, please understand that we are not responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, other companies or websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the TADFF Services referencing this Privacy Policy.
The majority of the advertisements which are displayed in connection with the TADFF Services are served through reputable third party advertisement serving partner(s).
The security of your Personal Information is important to us.

Please check this Privacy Policy regularly for updates by checking the date of "Last Update" at the top of this document.
Additional privacy procedures specific to a TADFF Service may be found on a TADFF Site at the location of the particular TADFF Service, or in additional terms referenced at such TADFF Site or in a e-mail or electronic newsletter link. Those procedures are an addendum to this policy, and are provided to you at the place where they will be of most use to you.

Introduction to Australian and New Zealand Land Records

Land research can tell us so much about how our ancestors lived and worked. It can help us find out the truth about stories we've heard, and can give us a much richer picture of our ancestors' social and economic position. If they owned a house, business premises or rural property there are records to be found, many of which contain a wealth of information.
We can also break down brick walls using land records that we have been otherwise unable to solve. Buying or selling property may have been the only times our ancestors dealt with government in colonial times, and land records can contain evidence such as birthdates and names of family members; information that is recorded nowhere else.
This presentation will introduce you to the main types of records you can find, such as:
- deeds and grants
- Torrens titles
- Crown leases
- Selections and conditional purchases
- Title applications,
- Maps and plans.
We will look at what they mean and where to find them in general. The records of the Australian States and New Zealand are broadly similar and only an overview will be given.
This presentation is suitable for you if you are researching the history of your house or tracing the history of an ancestor through the property they owned.

The GM Craft Center is mentioned, the plant where the SSR is built. It used to be called the Reatta Craft Center, built to make the Buick Reatta, another twoseat GM vehicle that failed. Just what do they craft there anyways, headstones? If Solstice and Sky production moves there, you can bet those models will also be on the way out. That plant is cursed.

Your Word Against Ours: How The FBI's 'No Electronic Recording' Policy Rigs The Game... And Destroys Its Credibility
from the everybody-knows-the-dice-are-loaded dept
Considering the FBI's unseemly interest in recording phone calls and inserting itself into all sorts of electronic conversations (all without asking permission first), it's incredibly strange that it refuses to use one of the most basic electronic devices available: a voice recorder. In fact, as Harvey Silverglate's op-ed for the Boston Globe points out, it's forbidden to use any sort of recording device when interviewing suspects.
FBI agents always interview in pairs. One agent asks the questions, while the other writes up what is called a "form 302 report" based on his notes. The 302 report, which the interviewee does not normally see, becomes the official record of the exchange; any interviewee who contests its accuracy risks prosecution for lying to a federal official, a felony. And here is the key problem that throws the accuracy of all such statements and reports into doubt: FBI agents almost never electronically record their interrogations; to do so would be against written policy.Without a recording to compare the transcript to, we are expected to trust the FBI's version of the interrogation. If we can't trust it, we are left to draw one of the following conclusions.
1. The transcript is completely false.
2. The transcript is heavily editorialized.
3. The transcript interprets certain statements, but is otherwise accurate.
4. The transcript is completely accurate.
Of all of these choices, number 4 seem least likely. In fact, one wonders why the FBI bothers interviewing anyone when it could simply put two agents in a room and allow them to bang out a confession on behalf of the accused.
If a suspect claims the transcription is erroneous, it's his word against theirs. His words, of course, disappeared into the ether as soon as they were spoken. The FBI's version lives on, printed on paper.
We don't need to ask "why" this is a problem. There are rhetorical questions and then there are stupid questions, the sort helpful teachers and guidance counselors continue to pretend don't exist. A better question is, "Why hasn't this been changed?" Silverglate notes this policy is an updated version of a 1990's policy, crafted in 2006, long long long long after recording devices were ubiquitous. The excuse that this policy was "logistically necessary" because of technological limitations was ridiculous in 1990, much less 16 years later.
This is a problem. More specifically, this is Robel Phillipos' problem.
Phillipos is a 19-year-old Cambridge resident, former UMass Dartmouth student, and friend of alleged Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He faces charges of making materially false statements during a series of interviews with FBI agents. If convicted, he could get up to eight years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.How do we know he did this? Because the FBI says he did. It has the "paperwork" to "prove" it. As was pointed out above, simply questioning the transcript opens the questioner up for charges of "making false statements." Phillipos could be completely innocent but that means nothing when the accusers are writing the narrative. Scott Greenfield shows just how easily an innocent answer could turn into damning "evidence" in the hands of an FBI interrogation team.
Q: We found files on your computer showing that you went to a website with instructions on how to make a bomb, so we know you did it. When did you first go to the bomb website?Slick, isn't it? And when someone points out a misquote, the accusation is turned on them just as easily. "Are you lying now or were you lying earlier?"
A: I surf the web constantly and go through, like, a million pages. I have no idea what pages I searched or when. How could I possibly know?
Notated in 302: D cannot recall when he first went to bomb website. Went "constantly."
This is nasty business but it gets even nastier. Beyond the hilarious claim that tech simply hasn't advanced enough since 1990 to allow reliable voice recording, there's a much darker rationale guiding this ridiculous (and dangerous) policy.
The more honest — and more terrifying — justification for non-recording given in the memo reads as follows: ". . . perfectly lawful and acceptable interviewing techniques do not always come across in recorded fashion to lay persons as proper means of obtaining information from defendants. Initial resistance may be interpreted as involuntariness and misleading a defendant as to the quality of the evidence against him may appear to be unfair deceit." Translated from bureaucratese: When viewed in the light of day, recorded witness statements could appear to a reasonable jury of laypersons to have been coercively or misleadingly obtained.Sometimes the "reasonable jury" would be right -- the statement has been "coercively or misleadingly obtained." Other times, it may not be as clear-cut. But in a day and age where recording interviews and interrogations is the expectation, the FBI continues to play by its own (convenient) rules. And if the person being interrogated doesn't like it, he can expect additional charges to brought. This puts the alleged criminal in the unenviable position of having "anything he says" twisted, rewritten and heavily paraphrased before being used against him.
Silverglate cautions to withhold judgement on Phillipos until all the facts are in. But as long as the FBI continues to use this "recording" technique, don't grant its statements any credibility. They have none.

Maryland Terrapins Football Tickets
Maryland Terrapins Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Most teams would struggle making the adjustment to Big Ten football. Not the Maryland Terrapins. Head Coach Randy Edsall guided the Terrapins to a bowl game and a 7 and 6 record overall. As the Big Ten continues to improve, Maryland faces one of the toughest schedules in the conference this season. After losing their quarterback and 11 other starters, Maryland's team will definitely look different. Caleb Rowe is the new man under center. Although Rowe has battled injuries throughout his career, he possess a strong arm and his experience should help Maryland through the gauntlet that is the Big Ten. Brandon Ross and Wes Brown both saw action in the backfield last season and are back again this year. Levern Jacobs most likely will emerge as the no. 1 receiver but there are still many unanswered questions with the Maryland offense. The Maryland defense is anchored by All-Big Ten corner William Likely and safety Sean Davis. They cannot do it all unfortunately and Maryland is going to need to get pressure on the opposing team's quarterback if they want to have success. How will Maryland fair in its second season in the Big Ten? Find out all season long with Gold Coast Tickets!

Startup Hubs Are Heating Up Outside the U.S.
SARAH E. NEEDLEMAN: While Silicon Valley and New York remain far and away the biggest hubs of the world's startup activity, it's also true that many big cities outside the U.S. now have thriving clusters of startups.
In fact, we scanned the horizon for startup hubs world-wide using deal data over three years, and found that not only do European cities dominate, but Berlin and Moscow are making significant gains, and London is leading the pack with Paris following closely behind.
Venture-capital investors closed 104 deals with Berlin-based startups in 2013, a 22% increase over 2012 and 89% more than in 2011, according to Dow Jones VentureSource.
London is still by far the hottest startup hub outside the U.S. Investors closed 135 deals with startups in the U.K. capital last year, down just 2% from 2012 but up 26% from 2011.
There can be benefits to being outside San Francisco and New York, according to entrepreneurs. Samir Desai, co-founder and chief executive of London-based startup Funding Circle Ltd., says there's less competition in the U.K. for talent. Of course, London is also the headquarters of King Digital Entertainment plc, the maker of the wildly popular mobile app Candy Crush. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange last month.
Eric Wahlforss, founder and chief technology officer of seven-year-old startup SoundCloud, says Berlin is "relatively cheap so you can have a high quality of life," adding that his company's roughly 200 employees are from more than 30 countries. (Related: "Music-Sharing Service SoundCloud Raises New Funds at $700 Million Valuation.")
Other startups in Berlin that have achieved attracted significant capital include NumberFour Ag, productivity, sales and communication software for small businesses; ResearchGate GMBH, a social network for researchers; and 6Wunderkinder, which makes a productivity tool. (Related: "6Wunderkinder Closes $19 Million B Round; Sequoia Joins Board")
In Moscow, select startups might benefit from the support of local major corporations, as Russia is home to "significant public companies" like Yandex NV, a search-engine provider, and Mail.Ru Group, a popular social network, says Saul Klein, a partner at global VC firm Index Ventures. Startups in the Russian capital include Ozon.ru, a digital retail startup; NormaSugar, a maker of technology for treating diabetes; and Game Insight, a mobile gaming network. Investors backed 53 startups based in the Russian capital last year, up 47% from 2012 and 77% from 2011.
At least one European city has suffered a setback as far as startup activity goes – Paris. Venture-capital investors backed 70 startups in the City of Light capital last year, a 26% decline from 2012, and bumping it to the No. 3 spot for total investor activity in Europe. In December, the Journal reported that France's wealth taxes and complex labor laws may be discouraging investors from backing local startups. Plus, it didn't help that the French government blocked Yahoo Inc. from buying control of video site Dailymotion last year. (See "France Strives to Become Startup-Friendlier.")
Overall, European companies raised $7.26 billion in venture capital last year via 1,330 deals, or roughly 16% of the overall market share, the VentureSource data show. The U.S. meanwhile accounted for 70% of all venture-capital deals.

Lighting has been designed, marketed, bid, and installed basically the same way since World War II. Fixtures fall into the same stereotypical classifications: 2×2, 2×4, troffer, downlight, strip, wrap,wallpack, Type 2, Type 5, spot, flood, can, etc. But here's the real secret: Lighting manufacturers have never actually made "lighting" equipment. They have manufactured electromechanical devices that contain lighting elements and controls sold by others. Every contractor at some time has experienced a lighting product failure and been told by the manufacturer that the warranty claim needs to be handled by either the lamp or ballast manufacturer. That's because they've never built any lighting products before. That was then.
LED lighting represents a transformation of the lighting industry. LEDs are not a replacement light source that is simply integrated into a fixture manufacturers' product line like every other lamp product — from incandescent to fluorescent to HID. LEDs are a pure electronic system, with nuances that require careful design, differing manufacturing techniques, and, for the first time, a very real warranty liability to the lighting manufacturer.
|Ted Konnerth, PhD, CEO/president with Egret Consulting Group
So what's the future of lighting looking like? I'd say it looks very exciting. The following are just a few key areas of impending change.
Design. LEDs have no restraints of form factor, so the concept of containing LEDs into a 2×2, shoebox, overhead can, or wallpack is rendered moot. The legacy manufacturers and many of the new LED entrants are still confining the products into traditional packages, but that's due to traditional construction processes, use of the same tooling, or limited design creativity. This will change rapidly and will ultimately influence standards organizations like UL, which has regulations of size of openings based upon access to the ballast or J-box.
Channels. For more than 50 years, lighting reps have ruled the roost for commercial lighting. They call on specifiers and influence the product definition for new construction projects, and then rely on the contractors and distributors to negotiate the order. LED-based products are currently optimal for end-user applications where the cost differential can be justified through energy reduction, rebates, utility incentives and tax implications — all of which are geared to the owner/operator of the building.
LED products don't work as well in today's new construction market due to the challenges of getting a project financed with a premium paid for upgrading the system to this new technology. It's catching on, but it's the last adoption curve for the technology. Few rep firms have redeployed their sales teams to adopt an end-user sales presentation because the selling skills are different. LED-based products must be sold on a return-on-investment (ROI) basis, so an effective salesman needs to understand the financial aspects of cost of ownership. This was never a core discipline of a lighting rep. As a result, the market has exploded with LED manufacturers developing their own direct end-user sales organizations trained to focus on the installed base of 21+ million buildings. Bypassing the lighting rep also means bypassing the distributor and often the contractor as well.
The future. LEDs are a native low-voltage electronic DC product that requires careful handling and "reasonable" ambient temperatures to operate effectively. It will be integrated into much broader electronic systems. The technology is ready now to build a residence with solar power (native DC) connected to LED lighting without the rectifiers, and the same goes for most home systems — video, sound, TV, computers, and even appliances are available in DC. With the exception of HVAC, most houses could be built off-grid economically and electrically safe. The bigger question is: Which trade organization would wire that home? Would it be an electrician, low-voltage cabling specialist, security system installer, or solar power installer?
Lighting has traditionally captured about 15% of the electrical industry's total annual sales; it is historically the second largest category for an electrical distributor, behind switchgear. As this category gives rise to more electronics-based products, lighting will be seen as the enabler of multiple electronic systems and solutions.

What's New?
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Hello my friends. Yes, I'm still alive. Yes, I'm extremely busy and not quite sure where to start. Yes, I have a few reviews and giveaways to post but I currently have 4 giveaways listed on my blog, so the giveaways are going to have to wait.
The reviews are being formulated in my brain as I type this.
Guess what? Well, for one, I screwed up and went to my local Walmart for the All You event one day early! Man, now I'm mad at myself! Earlier I was mad at EVERYONE. LOL.
The weather forecast said that the weather was going to be 85 today, 87 tomorrow, so I KNEW I had to get out and enjoy the weather. (I'm like a new person when spring hits!)
So the kids, my boyfriend, and I drove down to Baltimore to enjoy a day of discounts. (Alot of museums/attractions were offering discounts today and are tomorrow also, as well as discounted parking. You can't beat that!) We were going to go to Port Discovery (a local children's museum) but we were too late for what we wanted to check out, so we went to the National Aquarium instead. I've always loved going there and haven't been since I lived at home with my parents, I think. My kids have gone with summer camp programs but I was pretty excited to go back.
It started to storm as we decided to leave the city and while we were driving up I-95 it was like we were running from the storm, but we beat it and made it home and so far, I hear no more rain (although I did see some lightning earlier).
I also treated the kids to Dairy Queen, which we don't do often. My son and I both got blizzards and my daughter got a waffle bowl sundae.
I've always loved Dairy Queen and we used to go to it ALOT in Pennsylvania, specifically the East Liverpool, Ohio and Beaver, PA, ones. Moved here and no Dairy Queen! It took Maryland about 13 years to get one. Finally....and it's 2 minutes from my house!
Life is good.
Now it's late and I'm tired but I've got 3 reviews that I think I'm going to post.
What did you do today?

Spring 2017 Getting Started
I was wondering what I should do about the fact that my laptop wasn't loading during the first Learning Catalytics question during the lecture today. The page wouldn't load, and I just wanted to know if there was anything that could be done about it, just because I don't find it fair that I was here and was prepared, but couldn't answer the question because of a technological issue.
Actually, I agree that it's not fair that technology issues occasionally prevent students from completing assignments in our class, which is precisely why we created the adjusted grading scales that I talked so much about on the second day of the semester. If you'll recall, we have an unknown number of Learning Catalytics questions throughout the semester, and we calculate your percentage correct. That percentage is then applied to a scale out of 100 points, which has been adjusted to where 80% correct in Learning Catalytics equals all 100 points. In other words, you can miss 20% of all Learning Catalytics points before it even begins to affect your grade. This is our way of acknowledging that there will be times when students are unable to complete a question, either because they are not present or unable to obtain a wireless signal. This has proven over the last several years to be the most equitable way to address these issues while at the same time not overwhelming us with hundreds of students reporting connectivity issues we cannot verify.

Seth Rogen Digs SUPER!/
I am planning to go see Green Hornet, but now I am going to see it twice. Why?
Because: Seth Rogen loves our movie SUPER (you will have to wait until April Fools Day to see it), but check this out where Seth says:
"..."Super" is just so ballistic and insane… (laughs)… but I really liked it, too. You do watch them with a slight part of your brain just thinking, "Is this f*cking up our sh*t?" (laughs) .
I can see it on the poster already: "so ballistic & insane -- Seth Rogen".

When two Kmart stores were slated to close in New Hope and White Bear Lake late last year, each city took to the news with decidedly different strategies.
New Hope charged headlong into the commercial development game for the barren retail site. White Bear Lake prefers to let the market do its bidding with its now-shuttered Kmart property.
Both stores were built in the early 1970s, and they fiercely competed against homegrown competitor, Target. They both sprouted in growing suburban territories that stretched beyond the metro area's traditional urban boundaries. And, in the end, the real estate was owned by separate out-of-town entities faced with the challenging prospect of repurposing an aging retail store as their Blue Light Specials forever dimmed.
The Great Recession hurt commercial real estate generally, but it dealt a much more severe blow to big-box retailers such as Kmart and Best Buy, which experts say were already vulnerable to a general shift toward online shopping and more competition from major retailers. A recent study by Colliers International, one of the world's leading commercial real estate companies, determined that roughly 120 million square feet of big-box retail space has been vacated since January 2008 -- a space equivalent to 29 Mall of Americas.
Best Buy has already said it will shutter 50 underperforming stores nationwide, including five in Minnesota. And Kmart's parent company, Sears Holding Corp., announced in December that poor sales would force the closing of four Kmarts in Minnesota this year and more than 100 Kmart and Sears stores nationwide.
"Many [chains] just expanded too fast," said Maureen McAvey, a retail expert at the Urban Land Institute. "The outer suburbs are not growing as fast. And there is a desire to be close to an urban area."
As big-box retailers close stores in a down economy, municipalities and property owners alike are often stuck with a big box that needs to be filled. In some cases, the stores remain empty for years.
But not in New Hope. Shortly after the Kmart store closed, city officials pounced and purchased the 16-acre site for $4.5 million. The store, centrally located at 4300 Xylon Av. N., is being eyed as a possible mixed-use development, perhaps with high-density residential units and a retail component. A developer is being sought for the project, which is envisioned as New Hope's new city center, a feat, since New Hope doesn't really have a downtown now.
In White Bear Lake, the shuttered Kmart store's fate is unclear -- its New York-based property owner recently listed the site for lease. "There could be multiple uses for the site," said Henry Cohen, managing partner of Shidler/West Finance Partners V, the property's owner for the past 20 years. That includes retail, office, a hotel or a corporate headquarters, he said. The location, at 3201 White Bear Av. N., just north of Interstate 694, "is very visible and has great access," Cohen said.
Purchasing the 12.5-acre property with a 120,000-square-foot store was not an option White Bear Lake officials considered, said Anne Kane, the city's community development director. The city's last foray into commercial real estate involved purchasing the former Johnson Boat Works lakeshore property in 1999 -- a site that's only now being developed. While the city will help prospective developers with the abandoned Kmart site, "it's pretty much up to the private sector now," she said.
Cathy Bennett of the Urban Land Institute-Minnesota said it's not unusual for cities to purchase private property in a down economy for future development, assuming they have the financial wherewithal to do so.
"When the economy was booming, they didn't have to do that," she said. "Now things have changed and it's more difficult for developers to assemble the funds to purchase the site on speculation, they don't have the equity and capital to do that." Typically, municipalities sell the site once developed. "They tend to get uncomfortable to hold it for long periods of time," Bennett said.
Not everyone thinks cities have the chops to be real estate developers. Tom Martin, a senior director of Cushman & Wakefield/NorthMarq, said "it's difficult to do, and it's not a business that cities frequently go into." Developers have access "to the pocketbooks and development expertise, they can identify tenants and determine market demand, and my gut says that bankers would be a little more comfortable with them."
But New Hope Mayor Kathi Hemken, a former member of the city's planning commission, says the city eyed the Kmart site for more than 15 years as a possible redevelopment project. Once Sears said it would close, she says she was "jubilant."
"If you don't own the property, there's not much you can do," she said of development options. "Now we can go to a developer and see what can be done" under current economic circumstances. That will likely involve some type of "high-density" housing, perhaps low-rise apartment buildings, an idea Hemken admits is controversial among some residents. "People need to understand that high density isn't low-income."
New Hope, a northern suburb settled by dissident farmers from Crystal that boomed in the 1960s, has seen its population decline and age since the 1970s. Hemken, a city resident for 38 years, believes apartments would prove a good option for millennials -- young people between the age of 25 and 35. "Years ago, people came to New Hope to buy a house, that was the dream of baby boomers," she said. "Young people today aren't wired that way."
Curtis Jacobsen, the city's community development director, said the Kmart site could be designed as a new city center. "It's incredibly unusual to have 16 acres of land to develop in the middle of a fully developed city," he said.
"Hopkins has done a lot of redevelopment and in St. Louis Park, you have the city involved in Excelsior & Grand [mixed-use retail and apartment complex]," Jacobsen said. "People said to us, 'Why aren't you doing something like that?'"
Demolition of the Kmart store in New Hope is expected by this winter, Hemken said, and some tentative talks have taken place with developers who may serve as prospective partners. "A developer will know what kind of project can get funded. We know what we want, but they can tell us what can be accomplished."

Harrington Electric Co., one of Cleveland's oldest electrical and voice-data-video contracting firms, has sued the City of Cleveland for about $2 million in damages resulting from construction cost overruns on the new Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Harrington Electric has sought collection of its monies in full from the city since 1999. Harrington Electric contends the city mismanaged the critical path of the project, resulting in constructive and actual acceleration and loss of productivity on the project. Those costs, along with statutory interest, make up the bulk of the Harrington claim. Harrington Electric's claim states the company is owed an aggregate $2 million for the following items: unpaid contract balances, unpaid change orders, premium pay for excessive overtime, wage escalation, additional equipment, additional field supervision and project management, loss of productivity, subcontractor claims, project schedule analysis and interest on money owed.
"Harrington Electric — over a two-month period at the end of the project — employed 80 workers to meet the demands of the city. At the request and direction of the city, Harrington paid workers virtually seven-days-a-week, at time and-a-half and double-time wages, obtained extra equipment and supervision, and cash-flowed the acceleration for its expenses," said John Lind, of Lasko & Lind Co., the Cleveland law firm that has represented Harrington in its case against the city since 1998.
The Independent Electrical Contractors Association recently aired its opinions about apprentice programs at open Department of Labor (DOL) forums around the country.
"If we could just get the administration to focus on career preparation rather than college preparation and in that respect, get the Department of Education to work hand-in-hand with the DOL addressing the needs of industry and labor, a lot of the problems would quickly disappear," said Bob Baird IEC vice president of apprenticeship and training, codes, standards and safety.
"The electrical construction industry offers great career opportunities; and apprenticeship offers a path for qualified young people to follow directly from high school into the trade……preparing for a fantastic career, and avoiding those college loans."
Thomas Bowers, president of Satellite Electric Co. Inc., Beltsville, Md., attended the DOL apprenticeship forum in Philadelphia, Pa.
"Not a single high school educator from the Pennsylvania schools showed up to represent the educational system even though they were invited to attend," he said. "Counselors tend to shuffle kids that are difficult to deal with into vocational programs. One idea that we discussed was introducing younger kids to different career possibilities through summer camps."
Greg Osborne, apprenticeship director at IEC's Florida West Coast Chapter, attended a DOL Orlando forum and voiced similar concerns. "Many students don't realize they can go to college for free and even get paid to go to school," Osborne said. "Several apprenticeship programs in Florida have moved from their traditional K-12 or vocational school partners to the community college campuses. Unfortunately, the funding dollars don't follow the apprenticeship programs to the community colleges in a timely manner, if ever."
Gary Dykstra, president of D&G Electric in Lansing, Ill., attended the DOL's Chicago forum.
"At the end of the forum, two International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) representatives said they felt we were on the same page as far as them on many of the apprenticeship issue. We disagreed on one suggestion for how to recruit more apprentices — we suggested that tax credit legislation like SWEA (Skilled Workforce Enhancement Act) be passed for employers."
Founded in 1907, Harrington Electric has evolved into a electrical and voice-data-video contracting firm.

Star Trek and Transformers screenwriter/producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci will tackle developing the reboot Van Helsing, with Tom Cruise attached to star as the famed fictional vampire hunter, studio Universal Pictures announced today. (Hugh Jackman's 2004 Van Helsing pulled in $300 million worldwide, but it is largely considered a creative failure, and the potential franchise was shuttered.)
The project is part of a first-look production deal between Kurtzman and Orci's K/O Paper Products production company and Universal Pictures. As part of the deal, the pair will also develop a reboot of The Mummy with Prometheus screenwriter Jon Spaihts and producer Sean Daniel, who oversaw producing the last incarnation of the Mummy franchise.
Kurtzman and Orci's next project is the family drama People Like Us (out June 29), which they wrote and Kurtzman directed.

I made a table in my local PHPMyAdmin. I can do all sorts of things with it, but I cannot make even the slightest alteration. For example, under the tab Operations, there is the function Alter Table Order By. But even that it won't do. I can select a field, select Ascending or Descending, click Go, and the system will even report back that the query has been executed successfully. But when I subsequently browse the table, nothing has changed. No matter which field I select.
The alternative method doesn't work either. It will let me hustle the table all I want, as long as it goes via the command
SELECT * FROM `table_name` ORDER BY `field_name` .
But when I enter
ALTER TABLE `table_name` ORDER BY `field_name`
the table doesn't change one iota, while I do get the message that the query has been executed successfully.
What's up with that??
Edit: I got an answer already, via Stackoverflow.com. See here for the answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1654 ... -my-tables. This behavior is standard as of MySQL 5.5, but XAMPP/PHPMyAdmin seemingly has not been updated yet in that respect.

So you've just hit revered with Lower City, bought your [item]Auchenai Key[/item] and are ready to head into heroics? Tanking heroic dungeons can be a challenging and fulfilling experience. Or it can leave you in a quivering pile of flesh and bone…
Agreeing to tank a heroic is not something you should do lightly if you have never done so before. Obviously you will need to have some decent gear, which you should have anyway if you have run enough normal instances to get your heroic key.
Be Prepared!
As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to be able to hit 12,500 hitpoints and armor, although you could probably do it with less. Make sure you have 490 defense so you can avoid those crits. If you have the luxury of multiple gear sets, for heroics you'll want to focus less on avoidance and more on mitigation (stamina, armor, shield block).
Know Your Encounters
Next up is knowledge. You'll need to be familiar with what is different in a heroic vs. a normal dungeon. You may need to build a resist set depending on the encounter. For example, having a Shadow Resist set for Pandemonius can make the first boss in Heroic Mana Tombs a joke (I'm sitting at about 265 in my shad resist set). Head over to www.wowwiki.com and read up on the changes to trash mobs and bosses.
Group Makeup
Group makeup is also important. For most heroics you'll want multiple forms of cc, which CAN include bringing along another tankly type as an offtank! A good healer is also required as heroic mobs just dish out too much damage.
You'll need to make sure you are capable of handling multi-pulls as a loose mob can often one shot healers and other low armor targets resulting in a probable wipe.
Phat Lewt!
Here are some of the better loot items you can get from heroics:
- [item]The Sun Eater[/item] – Mechanar *practically a must have
- [item]Argussian Compass[/item] – Underbog
- [item]Girdle of the Immovable[/item] – Slave Pens
- [item]Ironscale War Cloak[/item] – Slave Pens
- [item]Boots of the Colossus[/item] – Mana Tombs
- [item]Crystal Band of Valor[/item] – Mana Tombs
- [item]Warp-Storm Warblade[/item] – Mana Tombs
- [item]The Fel Barrier[/item] – Mana Tombs
- [item]Fanblade Pauldrons[/item] – Auchenai Crypts
- [item]Maladaar's Blessed Chaplet[/item] – Auchenai Crypts
- [item]Spaulders of Dementia[/item] – Sethekk Halls
- [item]Lieutenant's Signet of Lordaeron[/item] – Old Hillsbrad
- [item]Resounding Ring of Glory[/item] – Old Hillsbrad
- [item]Truncheon of Five Hells[/item] – Hellfire Ramparts
- [item]Lion's Heart Girdle[/item] – Hellfire Ramparts
- [item]Eaglecrest Warboots[/item] – Blood Furnace
You can use this link to browse more over at the armory.
Heroics can grant you some needed gear upgrades and can be very fun and challenging, just be sure you are up for the challenge otherwise you may end up with expensive repair bills

Pets and Animal
Place Your Pet Animal Rights
You question how do i hypnotize my pet?
Consider it, you've your dog animal among the member of the family, just like your personal baby, both of them hear, breath and active, their for which calms you are able to calm your animal… much like energy. Now this is a step-by-step help guide to bond and hypnotize your dog animal.
First look for a comfortable spot for both you and your pet, like a chair, sofa, and bed or anywhere alongside your dog. The their back while you continue stroking their abdomen inside a gentle soothing movements, it is crucial that you simply do it very lightly and slow, especially if you wish to develop a trust between your pet, either if it's your personal varieties. You might remove your hands or keep your gentle massage over your dog's body. Make certain you touch every single a part of your dog lightly to condition these to your touch and movement, then while you breath gradually out and in start to speak softly having a deep soothing voice to maintain your pet inside a condition of trance…
If you think comfortable play and touch their ear having a gentle stroke to produce more deepening, then start speaking just a little faster having a humming dog sounds, (pay attention to dogs cry and dogs laughter and discover the happy seem of the voice then put it on inside the hypnotic suggestions) it will require them much deeper…
PS: For those who have a dog, you will be aware which kind of sounds your dog makes when they're happy or excited, it's similar to speaking for your pet having a baby voice, exactly the same way you talk to a baby. With more experience your dog is going to be trained to your voice using hypnosis to alter their behaviors and also to enhance their health. When prepared to take the pet from trance, hold themselves having a firm mastery and adopted by having an authoritarian voice then switch your dog to take it from the trance. Make certain you praise your dog along with you did great, good so and thus, or good dog.
Please Be Aware: Your dog may be easily distracted from sounds and noises from outdoors, and it is therefore a typical factor that that they'll get out of trance once they've been distracted and go out toward the seem, this can be a natural instinct response….So you shouldn't be frustrated, keep practicing eventually they're not going to respond to sounds or noises after they are much deeper and comfy where thy are inside their minds.
Benefits of Virtual Pet Adoption
Do you enjoy creating or adopting your own virtual pet? You might have seen the brand new Webkinz plush toys which have a free virtual pet picture of the plush animal. Many youngsters are starting to collect these pets in addition to taking part in the virtual world. Virtual desktop pets offer advantages, particularly if you have children who are interested to get an active indoor pet. They're completely easy to maintain unlike real pets. If you don't wish to need to bother about the irritation of cleaning after your indoor pets and making certain that they're well taken proper care of, a virtual pet might be what you want.
Additionally towards the easy to maintain facet of getting one, for those who have a young child thinking about adopting a genuine pet, then by letting them experience taking care of an online pet, they'll learn to better take care of a pet overall. They'll gain better responsibility and realize that pets require food, shelter, and love and can't be neglected. Most of the virtual pet games will need the owner feed your pet or go ahead and take pet for any walk to enable them to do most of the same or similar tasks that will have to be achieved having a real pet. The proprietors could possibly get additional points or rewards by performing these tasks or can easily see their pet's health or abilities decline to fail to complete operator.
Should you be worried about the price of taking care of a genuine live pet such as the vet bills, immunizations, or food, this is one thing that's completely non-existent. Having a pet can be quite pricey and if you don't have the cash to purchase a dog, you'll be able to think about a virtual pet. You'll find many free pet sites to help you get began.
If money isn't a factor, but you don't want to cope with house breaking or cleaning following a pet, this may be regarded as a benefit too. Maybe your children have severe allergic reactions and can't accept the ticks and flicks that some creatures may bid farewell to. Well, with virtual pets this isn't an issue. While you start to consider adoption, then you'll observe how convenient they're and how they may do well buddies for those alike. In either case, you won't fail together with your choice.
Six Ways They Differ From Dogs
Many people are enchanted by the thought of having a pet fox. They are charming, intelligent creatures, and there's lots of appeal in getting a "special" animal that does not lots of people have. While foxes could make decent pets for somebody using the some time and sources to look after them, many people result in the mistake of purchasing a dog fox thinking it will be as being a dog.
1. Foxes Take Time And Effort to coach
Dogs are born having a quite strong pack mentality. Your dog sees you since it's alpha, and it is hard-wired to wish to obey the best choice. They live to impress you. A fox, however, lives to impress itself. While they're very intelligent, the main motivation of the fox differs from what dog. Your dog really wants to make you happy thus making you happy, the fox wants the treat.
2. Foxes Stink
Foxes possess a strong odor. While your dog may take a couple of days with no bath to operate up a effective stink, foxes smell skunky 24/7. This strong, musky odor could be lessened somewhat by getting the fox neutered, however it can't be eliminated entirely.
3. Foxes Are Shy
Lots of people picture a fox being an awesome pet that they'll showcase for their buddies and neighbors. Regrettably, the truth more often than not falls far lacking this. While foxes frequently become very attached and affectionate using their families, they continue to be impossibly shy around visitors and other people.
4. Foxes Have Particular Needs
Foxes have particular nutritional and workout needs outdoors what dog. They're very energetic, and wish lots of exercise every single day. A sizable, carefully-built outside enclosure is essential. That can bring me to my next point…
5. Foxes Are Escape Artists
Foxes tend to be better at getting away from enclosures than the most determined dog. They are able to leap six ft in mid-air, ascend fences, as well as cling upside lower to climb along a series link ceiling for brief distances. Any enclosure that is supposed to keep foxes mustn't simply be large, but impossible to seek out of and also have a full roof.
6. Foxes Are Destructive
Lots of people purchase a fox underneath the mistaken impression that it may be stored being an indoor pet, and playing free run of the home while they're away at the office. Nothing might be further away from the reality, particularly using the bigger species like red foxes. They'll steal and conceal anything sufficiently small to allow them to carry, and shred almost everything they are able to obtain teeth directly into. It's extremely difficult to interrupt every-trained fox of those behaviors. Your dog could be trained to not chew things, a fox are only able to be trained to not chew things while you are watching. While a fox is loose in the home, it takes constant supervision.
To conclude, foxes could make fascinating pets for those prepared to look after them. If you are looking at a dog fox, get into it together with your eyes available, seek information, and realize that taking care of a fox isn't like taking care of your dog.

Pros and Cons of Wild Animals As Pets
Many people find the idea of having wildlife as pet as exotic and exciting. However, if you want a wild animal as a pet, you should have thorough understanding of the animal and its behavior and needs. The people who have these animals as pets are invariably trained to handle them, but even they will tell how unpredictable these animals can be. You may have read stories in the newspaper of zoo keepers being mauled by their wards.
So, having wild animals as pets has become quite a sensitive and controversial issue. Some people like to highlight the pros, while others just point out the cons. However, both should be weighed equally and only then a decision should be taken to keep a wild animal as a pet.
Here are some pros and cons of wildlife as pets.
Sometimes, conventional pets like dogs and cats cannot be kept due to lack of space. In such circumstances, one can keep a wildlife like a hedgehog or gecko as a pet as they do not require that much space. Some wild animals have their own benefits. Like a hedgehog can be used to keep insects and others pests at bay in a house.
Often it has been seen purchasing a wild animal can be cheaper than purchasing a pet that is popular and has a pedigree.
Also, many proponents of wild animals feel that some species have a better chance of survival if they are adopted. It has been seen that the dart frog is facing a problem in the wild as its natural habitat is diminishing. Hence, if this animal is adopted, it will have a better chance of survival.
However, there are sufficient cons and disadvantages of owning wild animals as pets. First of all, one has to take into consideration the welfare of the animal. Having a wildlife means giving due consideration to its diet, exercise and social interactions. Often, the animal will not have any interaction with other animals of its own species and will be left to leading a lonely and solitary life. Also, the owners will not be equipped to provide proper care to the animals as they may not be well-versed in these things. Many wild animals look cute and cuddly when they are small. However, as they reach adulthood or sexual maturity, their wild side takes over and the animal becomes aggressive. This is the time many owners abandon their pets or give them away to zoos.
Wild animals are carriers of many diseases that are lethal to humans. For instance, reptiles and amphibians are carriers of salmonella infection and each year thousand of people in the US contract this disease due to their pets. Also, rats imported from Africa are known to carriers of monkey pox. An outbreak of this disease occurred in the US in 2003 when Gambian rats brought in the monkey pox into the country.
Above all, the demand for wildlife as pet is increasing. So, many illegal traders are taking advantage of this demand. Most of the wild animals are captured and then transported in cruel and inhuman manner to reach their owners. In addition, majority of the owners do not know to take care of the animals and this causes them to fall sick or even die.
So, weigh the pros and cons of having wild animals as pets before jumping to adopt one. Make sure that you are properly equipped to handle the care of the animal. Do not adopt one if you have any doubts.

Baltimore Bus Brawl Between Driver and Juvenile Passenger Caught on Tape
(BALTIMORE) -- A Baltimore bus driver has been suspended following a brawl with a female student who the driver accused of "being disrespectful." The tussle was caught on tape and posted to YouTube.
When the video begins, the female bus driver is standing over the passenger and struggling with her as the teenager kicks and punches the bus driver. When the passenger stands up, the two wrestle their way to the back of the vehicle with the bus driver holding the girl by her arm and by her hair. The two struggled to the back of the bus with the girl throwing several punches at the driver's head and shoulder. The driver eventually pushes the girl into a corner seat.
The driver seems to be shouting, "You want to fight somebody?" The passenger answers, "No."
The passenger can also be heard saying, "Get off of me." Other passengers were shouting, videotaping and some laughter can be heard.
It is unclear what initiated the fight.
When the fighting stopped, the two women had an inaudible tense exchange before the bus driver returned to the front of the bus. "You shouldn't have jumped in my face," the passenger said.
Moments later, the driver can be heard saying, "It wasn't about that. It's about being disrespectful."
The incident occurred on Monday at around 2 p.m. and the video was posted to YouTube on Tuesday. It has been viewed over 106,000 times.
"The bus operator reported that an incident had occurred on her bus and then we got calls from media informing us that it has been posted on YouTube," Maryland Transit Administration spokesman Terry Owens told ABC News. "The report included some details, but I'm not going to discuss the content of that report."
Neither the bus driver nor the passenger have been identified. Owens said the the driver has been with the agency since 2003 and that the passenger involved was a student and a juvenile. He said no one was seriously injured.
The driver has been suspended without pay, pending the results of an investigation, according to Owens.
"We hold the safety of our passengers and employees as our highest priority at the MTA," he said. "Our employees are expected to respect this policy and passengers are expected to abide by the rules and policies of the agency when using our systems."
The incident is being investigated by the Maryland Transit Administration Police.

Alex Sink strolls into the dining room at Kingsway Country Club, in Lake Suzy, Fla., dressed casually in a red blouse and navy capris, ready for her sixth campaign event of the day.
It's a friendly crowd, as these things usually are, with a healthy smattering of firefighters and teachers – both loyal Democratic constituencies – and at least one Republican Sink backer, a local lawyer who isn't happy with the GOP nominee for governor, former health-care CEO Rick Scott.
Here in rural southwest Florida, it's Republican territory, but Ms. Sink, the state's chief financial officer and Democratic nominee for governor, is undaunted. She is visiting all 67 Florida counties, from the deep blue to deep red. In her remarks, she touts the endorsements of the state's two law enforcement unions, which usually go Republican, and of Republican elected officials around Florida. She also talks up her background in the private sector: 26 years in business, including as president of Florida operations for Bank of America. She would be the state's first female governor.
Perhaps Sink's most noteworthy feature is that she could actually win, in a national election cycle tilted heavily toward Republicans. With a Republican leading in the Florida race for US Senate, that could result in a split result in this swing state. Since mid-July Sink has held a steady three-point (on average) lead over Mr. Scott, who appeals to some voters with his private-sector track record of job creation but loses others over the $1.7 billion fine his company, Columbia/HCA, paid for Medicare fraud. A three-point lead is margin-of-error territory. Bottom line, the race is a tossup.
"I'm not a career politician," says Sink in a Monitor interview. She's a lifelong Democrat, raised on a farm in Mt. Airy, N.C., with the accent to prove it, but she says she's not running a partisan campaign. "We have too many problems and issues and challenges in our state right now to get caught up in partisan politics, in my opinion."
Even if Sink insists the campaign is all about who has a better plan for Florida and its problems – including high home-foreclosure and unemployment rates – she says she's prepared for what the wealthy Scott can throw her way. He spent $50 million of his own money to beat the GOP establishment favorite, state Attorney General and former longtime Rep. Bill McCollum, in a nasty Aug. 24 primary battle, and there's more where that came from.
Scott has been trying to tie Sink to Obama, and she has come back with, "he's talking about Obama, he's not talking about the issues that face Florida." So far, Sink hasn't dropped the heavy artillery – ads pounding Scott over his former company's misdeeds – but Florida political analysts say just wait, it's coming.
Scott's ethical challenges are already part of why he's trailing Sink, if only slightly, analysts say. (In his defense, Scott says he was unaware of the overbilling of Medicare that was going on when he was at Columbia/HCA.) In the primary, Democrats and independents saw all those ads against Scott, and even if they didn't cost him the nomination, they cut into his margin of victory. He won a plurality of the GOP vote, 47 percent, four points ahead of McCollum.
"If [Scott] didn't have the baggage, he'd win the race," because of this year's Republican tilt, says Brad Coker, president of Mason Dixon polling, who is based in Jacksonville, Fla. "But that other stuff is a bit disturbing to a lot of people."
Another problem for Scott is that he has only been a Florida resident just long enough to qualify for governor, seven years, and so is not well known around the state. Sink has a long record of civic involvement in Florida. McCollum, too, has been around forever. That gave him establishment support, but in an anti-establishment year, that hurt McCollum with some voters. At a "tea party" rally in St. Augustine, Fla., last Saturday, Scott was welcomed with open arms (though he is not a tea party candidate, per se).
"A lot of McCollum supporters are still very, very angry at Scott," says Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida, Tampa. "And you have the taint of corruption going with him. So you get business community types and even probably a certain proportion of Republican women who will go in [Sink's] direction but will stick with [Republican GOP Senate nominee Marco] Rubio."
The big problem for Sink going into November will be the Democrats' enthusiasm gap. "Her challenge is really, frankly, going to be turnout," says Ms. MacManus.
Mr. Rubio, former speaker of the Florida House, is picking up steam in his three-way race against the Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist and Rep. Kendrick Meek (D). The RealClearPolitics average of recent polls now shows Rubio at 40 percent, Governor Crist at 30 percent, and Congressman Meek at 22.
For Crist, still popular as governor, the challenge of running as an independent has taken its toll. He doesn't have an institutional party base from which to fundraise and draw upon campaign talent.
In the end, Florida could end up delivering a split decision – Democrat for governor, Republican for Senate. If so, that would be very Florida: the biggest swing state in the country, home to Bush v. Gore, with a steady record of ticket-splitting. In 1986, the Sunshine State sent Democrat Bob Graham to the Senate and Republican Bob Martinez to the governor's office. In 1994, Republican Connie Mack won for Senate and Democrat Lawton Chiles won for governor. Fifteen of Florida's congressional seats are held by Republicans, 10 by Democrats.
Or the state could see a Republican sweep. The national winds are certainly blowing in that direction, but in a race for state office, local factors not involving Washington are always in the mix.
