Mayor says no to pot ordinance
Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy has vetoed a proposed city ordinance restricting the location of medical marijuana dispensaries in Lynn, citing
a concern that it might be unconstitutional.
Concerned about possible public safety impacts, some cities and towns have adopted or are considering local bans or restrictions on the locations of dispensaries, while others are waiting until after the state issues regulations by May 1.
In this region, outright bans on dispensaries were adopted by special town meetings in Reading and Wakefield last November. The Melrose Board of Aldermen approved a ban on Jan. 22, and the Peabody City Council on Jan. 24.
In Lynn, the mayor's action leaves uncertain the fate of the zoning ordinance, which the City Council approved by an 8-2 vote with the support of Police Chief Kevin F. Coppinger and MaryAnn O'Connor, the city's public health director.
City Council president Timothy Phelan, who proposed the ordinance, said the mayor's veto is on the agenda at the council's meeting Tuesday
and that a vote on whether to override it is possible.
"The ability to veto anything is an inherent power of the mayor's office, and I have no issue with her exercising that right,'' Phelan said. "We just have a different opinion on the issue.''
The state ballot question legalizing medical marijuana that voters approved last November allows for up to 35 nonprofit treatment centers to grow and provide the marijuana in the state's 14 counties, with at least one per county. Under the new law, the state Department of Public Health is required to develop regulations governing the dispensaries by May 1.
The state attorney general's office, which reviews all town-adopted — but not city — bylaws to ensure they do not conflict with the state constitution and laws, has until March 21 to decide on Wakefield's ban and until April 11 on Reading's.
Among the cities taking the wait-and-see approach, the Malden City Council voted Jan. 22
to restrict dispensaries to industrial areas of the city, but it delayed implementation until the state issues its rules.
The Revere City Council last Monday referred to committee a proposed dispensary ban, while the Planning Board on Tuesday recommended that no action be taken until the state issues its regulations.
Also last Monday, Burlington Town Meeting approved a 17-month moratorium on such dispensaries to give the town time to develop rules after the state regulations are released.
A Woburn City Council committee
voted 3-2 on the same day to recommend the council adopt a one-year moratorium on dispensaries "to give us time to get feedback from the state Department of Public Health,'' said Ward 4 Alderman Mike Anderson, the committee chairman. A proposal to recommend an outright ban lost on a 3-2 vote.
The proposed Lynn ordinance would bar a medical marijuana dispensary from locating within 1,000 feet of a school, public park, or residential dwelling unit, or within the city's waterfront area.
Kennedy wrote the council that she was vetoing the measure "for many reasons, but primarily for its suspected unconstitutionality.''
In a follow-up letter, Kennedy said that city attorney James Lamanna had advised her that "the practical effect of the ordinance would be to preclude dispensaries throughout the city. I believe that such an outright prohibition would be found to be unconstitutional.''
"But even if these restrictions were to pass constitutional muster, I suggest that they fly in the face of the expressed preferences of the voters,'' Kennedy added, referring to approval of the state referendum.
"This has nothing to do with the legality of medical marijuana,'' Phelan said of the ordinance, adding that he respects the will of the voters and is comfortable with medical marijuana being used to alleviate pain.
Instead, he said the ordinance is intended to prevent the kind of public safety problems that Coppinger, the Lynn police chief, told the council have occurred in states that have dispensaries. "His research showed that they are crime magnets,'' Phelan said.
Kennedy also said the council "is acting too hastily in promulgating these restrictions, when the [state] Department of Public Health has not yet released its initial regulations.''
But Phelan said that if Lynn waited for the state rules, the city would be exposed to a dispensary opening in the interim. Based on his conversations with the city's law department, he thinks the ordinance could withstand a legal challenge.
Lamanna, who assisted the council with the ordinance, said that as Essex County's largest city, Lynn would likely face a legal challenge. But he said since marijuana remains an illegal substance under federal law, he finds it "hard to believe that the federal constitution would be violated'' by the proposed restrictions.

Bitter Gaycist needs a job
Isaiah Washington, that's who.
He was fired from Grey's Anatomy, tried to walk away classy, gave a few good comments to Entertainment Weekly, and then refused to let the story die. I'm thinkin' he needs a new job.
Because he's screaming at the top of his lungs, pointing fingers, accusing people of collusion when if you recall, and as he admits, it's because HE was the one who uttered The Word, the F word, during an argument.
No clue but here's his logic:
He was having a disagreement with Patrick Dempsey, TR Knight wasn't involved. He said The Word, things got heated – cause of tiff is because Patrick supposedly is an abusive bitch to his colleagues and treats people like sh-t. All this according to TR Knight, who was trying to drive a wedge between Patrick and Isaiah and was backstabbing Patrick to Isaiah, which resulted in the on set argument.
Isaiah also says that TR's trickery still hasn't ended. That he is still working overtime to get Patrick off the show as well. And that to this day, Patrick and TR are not on speaking terms. Further to that, Washington "reveals" that Patrick actually wanted TR thrown off the show instead, knowing that TR was dissatisfied with his storyline through seasons 1 and 2 and conspired with Katherine Heigl to get more airtime, subsequently undermining the show's two lead males.
When the incident with The Word got out, and TR heard about it, Washington explains that it was TR who leaked it to the Enquirer and strategically decided to come out under those circumstances, knowing he would win public favour in the end.
Now THAT, my fellow gossips, is a conspiracy. The Gay Midget Dwarf would be very proud.
But here's the problem…even if there is an ounce of truth behind his accusations (which there is likely not), he did in fact say The Word. No one made him say The Word. The Word just came out.
Of all the other words he could have used in a heated moment – my personal favourite is "you f&cker" – of all the choice words we use to blow off steam (other options include prick, asshole, c&cksucker, c**t), Isaiah Washington chose that one. And it's the choosing of That Word that belies the truth: because even if it just "slipped out", why was it so readily available in the first place…you know what I mean?

February 02, 2011
By Justin Tang
LOS ANGELES -- Keith Leonard's ('95) path to becoming a bio-tech entrepreneur has taken some unconventional, long-distance turns.
After doing time as a commercial real estate project management engineer during the 1990s (a "dead end industry at the time" he now admits), he responded to a headhunter's call and took an interview with a then little-known company called Amgen and became an engineer for the now-booming bio-tech giant. He would later set off on his own to plant a flag in the biotechnology arena.
The company Leonard co-founded (in 2005) is Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, where he currently serves as chief executive officer. Kythera develops prescription products for the aesthetic market, their products based upon intellectual property developed at Harbor-UCLA, a biomedical research facility. Leonard spends much of his time in Kythera's Calabasas, California corporate headquarters, though he does make it back to campus on occasion to visit the company's research lab, housed in UCLA's California Nano Systems Institute. Furthering the UCLA connection, the company was in part financed by the UCLA Venture fund and Leonard has had multiple Anderson students as interns at Kythera.
Leonard's tenure at Amgen coincided with that company's rise in biotechnology space and he eventually rose to senior vice president and general manager of Amgen's European business. Seeing a need to rebrand himself as more than "just an engineer" Leonard enrolled in Anderson's Executive MBA Program with the goal of gaining broader business and international experience. At Anderson, he says he grew to appreciate and understand the complexities of marketing a brand. Even more so, Leonard valued the in-class interactions between professors and students. "The professors understood that their audience was extremely experienced and leveraged their knowledge to supplement the class," said Leonard.
While still an EMBA student, Leonard accepted Amgen's request to help set up the company's manufacturing operations in Europe. As a result, from May to August of 1995, Leonard flew to Switzerland and back to Los Angeles every other weekend. "Those months all blurred together; I just remember trying to recover from constant jetlag." said Leonard. But the loss sleep proved worthwhile. Leonard reshaped his image from strictly a technical engineer to a manager and leader. He acquired business knowledge through both academic and practical sources at Anderson and Amgen. And later, he furthered his firsthand knowledge of international business as he returned to Europe to lead all of Amgen's European business.
Then he was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug.
"With Amgen, I had a great exposure to the biotech industry, so I set off to build a company that was very innovative, very scientific, and very scrappy." Since its creation, Kythera has focused on a product called ATX-101, which is an injectable adipolytic agent that reduces fat in focal areas for both males and females. While it has not reached the market yet, it has entered the last phase of regulatory testing.
Since leading Kythera, Leonard has encountered the challenges of founding a startup company. The first challenge is the inherent risk of starting a biotechnical company -- most drugs fail during clinical testing. "Not only do you have to be good, you have to be very very lucky," said Leonard. The second challenge stems from the 2008 global recession, which has amplified the problem of raising money for a long-term project in a world that has become increasingly short-sighted.
But even in tougher times, he recognized and valued the skill required to lead a small team. "Beyond the logistical aspects of running a business, I believe the most important thing is to set the right environment, establish the right goals, and build the right team. It is this responsibility that requires the most time and care," said Leonard.
Since the company's founding, Leonard and Kythera have since secured more funding and continue to move closer to releasing ATX-101 to the market. Leonard believes a critical component in starting a company is attitude. "You must have unflagging optimism and enthusiasm. More importantly, you have to interpret uncertainty as adventure and turn it into enthusiasm," said Leonard.

Louis Oosthuizen withdraws from Nelson before 4th round (neck); Michael Bradley also out
IRVING, Texas – Louis Oosthuizen withdrew from the Byron Nelson Championship before the final round Sunday because of a neck issue.
The 2010 British Open champion was at 3-under 207 and tied for 32nd place after shooting even-par 70 in the third round.
Oosthuizen entered the Nelson with the No. 7 world ranking, the highest-ranked player in the field. He had missed the cut in his only other Nelson appearance.
Michael Bradley also withdrew Sunday morning with a back problem. Bradley was 2 under.
Oosthuizen is also set to play in next week's Colonial. Bradley is not on the field list for that invitational tournament.
Since 72 players made the secondary cut after three rounds, Oosthuizen and Bradley will get paid equal to a 71st-first finish.

On the Lamb
Since this is our anniversary weekend, I've been trying to just enjoy myself without worrying about taking pictures of everything and blogging every detail. I think I needed a little break, and thanks to the American Lamb Board and Food Network, I'm certainly getting a great one!
The Winning Lamb Burger Recipe!

You make me wish I had a bigger freezer. I get pork and chickens from a friend who farms and he also does lamb but the darn freezer is pretty full. I'll have to see if I can get just a little lamb from him so I can try this recipe. Looks yummy.

Happy anniversary, Chef John!
- October 9, 2010 at 5:17 PM
Happy anniversary, Chef John! I am new to your blog, and am addicted. I used to love to cook, but with a busy life and 4 kids, I found I was losing the desire to cook. I mean really cook. I still feed my family, but would choose the simplist, probably not the healthiest, meals possible. In an attempt to change I searched for an alfredo recipe made from scratch (my husband loves alfredo)and came across your site. I was so excited that there was a video on how to prepare the dish, because I learn best by reading and seeing it done. Watching you cook the meal up close gave me the confidence to try it myself. The alfredo came out great, my husband loved it and actually had seconds (he NEVER has seconds when I cook)! I have since tried several recipes, all spectacular! And my husband can't belive that I have made them. Thanks so much for helping all of us to be able to provide our families with good wholesome meals! Your amazing! Keep up the good work! I hope you enjoy New York!

Chef John,
Happy Anniversary. You definitely deserve to be spoiled and be spoiled. I found your website about 3 months ago and have been incredibly blessed by yet. Just ask my husband's growing waistline. We live in Indonesia and a lot of ingredients are not available but I try hard to reduplicate with a lot of substitutions. We work in Indonesia as English teachers and the salary here is not half the salary English teachers get in the states so I unfortunately can't donate but I just wanted to thank you for blessing us with your food blog. You have helped my home become more homier. You have helped a new homemaker understand cooking. You have satisfied the tummies of 3 content boys who don't get the privilege of eating anything like MacDonald's even. I call you my 'food guru' and my husband completely trusts me in the kitchen now. THANK YOU and may God bless you.

Congrats on the anniversary Chef! Glad you enjoyed your trip and had a great time.

proven fact! All those meat juices that drip into a fire could be caramelized on the meat (of course if you want smoky meat then of course grill away!)

In the original video, you say that the burgers can be refrigerated until needed. Could they also be frozen after being mixed and formed? If so, how far in advance could you make these without actually cooking them?

Just lately, something has been preoccupying me. The something is a question.
"What next?"
This friend of mine has got me into a panic because, as she quite rightly pointed out the other day over a vin chaud in the creperie, there are only about 8 weeks of the season left.
It is an unsettling idea when you feel you've only just settled in.
A text from my Dad a few days later fanned the flames:
"Poppetto. Hw's life? Missing u. Hv fwdd ur post to chalet as rqsted. DD xx"
Good. This means he hasn't been opening it all himself and reading it like he usually does. Also, in this age of unlimited text characters you have to love my Dad's incredibly unnecessary and inventive attempts at txt spk.
I reply:
"Thanks Dad. Xx"
Then a few moments later, another text.
"Just wondered. Are you going to pay Southern Water? Only they've sent three or four demands now and they're starting to get nasty..."
Oh fuck. Bills. Reality. It has been all too easy to sink into the protective cocoon of routine around here, and forget, almost completely, that this life has a sell-by date, and that I have a past. The idea that only a couple of months ago I was living in a house with utility bills to pay seems totally alien, as if it was a life lived by some completely different person in a different dimension. I vaguely recall having had some notion I'd pay it off after the first chalet paycheque came in, but that idea went out of the window long before I spunked the entire amount on a new pair of ski boots.
I reply:
"How much?"
Bollocks. "Thanks – will deal with it. Don't worry."
I am now swimming in an emotional whirlpool of indecision.The age-old question. What to do next? The problem is I've been offered this amazing job back home and it's a beguiling thought at times. The posh office job, me tottering into work wearing a nice little pencil skirt and carrying a brand new laptop. I'm not immune to mid-season fatigue and homesickness. The thing is, I love my friends, really I do, and I miss my family like crazy but, you know, going home always seems like a great idea until I get there. And then after about 2 months I find that nothing has changed. Nothing.It's just the same people doing the same shit coke at the same parties, having the same conversations because their lives are no different. Pleasure-seeking in darkened rooms or thinking up ways to avert the boredom, like getting hitched or popping out a sprog or buying a new sofa.
I have this friend. Lets call her Peaches. Elegant, refined, adored and revered by everyone around her. A brilliant career-woman, home-owner, mother…. Exquisitely beautiful.... And a kleptomaniac. Constantly five finger discounting objects of various value from large retail outlets, supermarkets and stores. Knows by heart her optimum thieving hours - what time the security guard switchover happens in John Lewis and they switch the cameras off for 15 minutes. A master at work.
"I have this impulse" she said to me over dinner once with a gleam in her eye, "When I stay at a friend's house, to steal things. Small things that wouldn't be immediately missed. Earrings, an ornament… Am I crazy?"
Then there's DeeDee. Who confuses excitement with anxiety and therefore spends her entire life locked in a glass cage of emotion. Whose constant hunger for attention turns every day annoyances into a Shakespearian drama. Facebook is a stage for her very own real life soap opera, where every fart is photographed, documented and put on show with accompanying running commentary. She generates her own infamy online by tagging every tiny event in her life and posting a video about it.
I know a couple who spend every weekend blowing cocaine up other couple's arses, consorting with sexual deviants of an evening while their baby son slumbers upstairs. They get no sleep but are up at out at 8am to take him out to the park or brunch or a parents' meeting as if they are as square as dice.
I know another woman, happily married with children – who has a secret double life as an internet pornographer. While her husband drives the length of the South selling software and bringing in the bacon, she cavorts on a four poster with two Chihuahuas acting out the fantasies of the hairy, the housebound and the kinky. She doesn't need to do it. It's all for shits and giggles.
Then there's Brian, who claims the only thing getting me through the day is the knowledge that every shit he takes while working at his office is a paid shit.
Then there's me. I do seasons. I think part of me likes the to have the fear every six months...
But really, perhaps I should stop worrying. SbH doesn't seem in the least bit worried, after all. In fact all this reminds me of a moment in my first season. I'm walking down the road with SbH and two large bin bags feeling grubby and tired and suddenly I feel impelled to ask him:
"What are you going to do in the summer?"
He doesn't hesitate for a moment. He knows. "Going down to Palma to look for a job on a yacht."
"You won't go back home then?"
"Maybe for a week or two. See the olds. But not for any length of time."
For some reason this idea makes my heart sink. The thought of him being suddenly so far away from me and this cosy little intimacy that we have each evening makes me feel lost in the middle of a huge raging battle. A battle to keep good people in your life. I think of the vast ocean and him afloat on it somewhere miles away and feel tiny and insignificant and alone.
"What will you do?" he asks.
I don't know.
I burst into tears and squat down on my haunches in the middle of the road.
"Hey," he crouches beside me and holds each of my shoulders. "Chin up," He stands me back up and puts a comforting arm around me. "You worry too much."
"I can't help it. I don't know where I'm going."
"Worry less. Do more…" he says, with conviction and starts to guide me down the road again. I wonder at this certainty and at how untarnished by life he is. It strikes momentarily that he is naïve. Or then is it quite the opposite?
We continue down the road. As we walk towards the poubelle with our bin bags I look up and see between the crevice in two huge shoulders of the mountains butting together in the distance a fragment of moon shining almost too brightly to look at directly. We stop and watch as the earth visibly revolves under us and the moon creeps outwards, from just a chink of light, until eventually it hangs between the jagged jaws of the rocks, a full, dazzling pendant haloed in gold and bruising the clouds above it in maroon and silver.

Wilmington College has an outstanding track record of placing students into colleges of Veterinary Medicine. Admission to any college of Veterinary Medicine is a competitive process and students need to prepare themselves thoroughly for the admissions process.
Wilmington College offers all of the courses necessary for admission to vet school. While not strictly required, almost all successful applicants will have completed a Bachelor's degree before being admitted to vet school. Because of the large amount of overlap between vet school prerequisites and college graduation requirements, most students elect to major in either Biology: Life Sciences or Chemistry.
The list of Wilmington College courses that fulfill the prerequisites for admission to The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine is given below:
Please note that the course numbers and titles listed below reflect the Wilmington College curriculum revisions made that will go into place Fall Semester 2013.
Biology 230, Biological Sciences I
Biology 231, Biological Sciences II
Biology 343, Microbiology and Immunology
Biology 346, Genetics
Biology 431, Biochemistry
Chemistry 230, Principles of Chemistry I
Chemistry 231, Principles of Chemistry II
Chemistry 330, Organic Chemistry I
Chemistry 331, Organic Chemistry II
Physics 230, Fundamentals of Physics I
Physics 231, Fundamentals of Physics II
English 101, Writing II
Math 111, Trigonometry -or- Math 140, Calculus I
14 Semester hours of Humanities or Social Science
8 Elective hours
Prospective veterinary students must also complete the Graduate Record Examination, work a substantial number of hours with a veterinarian, and secure letters of recommendation from a veterinarian. Wilmington College can help students make these important professional contacts.
Residency requirements for admission to veterinary schools have been relaxed in recent years. You may wish to explore this link for opportunities for veterinary training outside of the state of Ohio. While you are at the site, sign up for their electronic Pre-Vet newsletter!

A quick note for anyone using this function to add their own autoload extensions. I found that if I included a space in between the different extensions (i.e. '.php, .class.php') the function would not work. To get it to work I had to remove the spaces between the extensions (ie. '.php,.class.php'). This was tested in PHP 5.3.3 on Windows and I'm using spl_autoload_register() without adding any custom autoload functions.
Hope that helps somebody.

Bucs have dropped four of last five matches
DELAND and FT. MYERS, Fla. (March 27, 2013) – The ETSU men's tennis team concludes the month of March in the state of Florida with Atlantic Sun matches against Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast.
ETSU (5-6, 1-1 A-Sun) and Stetson (13-1, 4-0 A-Sun) square off Thursday from the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center at noon. The Buccaneers then travel to Fort Myers on Saturday for an 11 a.m., showdown against FGCU (8-7, 3-1 A-Sun) from the FGCU Tennis Complex.
Entering the pair of road contests, ETSU has lost four of its last five matches, including a pair of 4-3 losses to conference-foe North Florida and Dartmouth last weekend in Johnson City. The Bucs opened the newly built ETSU Tennis Complex Friday, but suffered a defeat to the Ospreys to snap an 18-match A-Sun winning streak. The loss to the Big Green came the next day and put ETSU below .500 for the first time since January when it was 1-2.
Rogerio Ribeiro has not been fazed by the team's recent mishaps. The sophomore carries a team-best, three-match winning streak into Thursday, defeating UNF's Daniel Sotomarino, 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 (10-6) and Dartmouth's Chirs Kipouras, 6-1, 6-3, last weekend. Ribeiro holds ETSU's top singles record at 21-11 overall and is 6-4 in dual play.
Senior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) will look to keep rolling. Despite a loss to Moritz Buerchner against UNF, Bandres has won seven of his last eight singles matches with all coming at the No. 1 slot. One of those wins came against then-No. 21 Nathan Pasha of Georgia, landing Bandres A-Sun Men's Tennis Player of the Week honors. Bandres holds ETSU's top dual record of 7-3.
Stetson will be a big test for the Buccaneers as the Hatters have lost just one match all season to No. 23 Drake. Prior to the loss, Stetson started the season 10-0, including a win in its season opener against then-No. 56 St. John's. Last weekend, the Hatters went on the road and handled both Kennesaw State, 7-0, and Mercer, 5-2.
Simon Julin is undefeated at 13-0 during the spring season, including a 4-0 mark in A-Sun play. After starting 7-0 at the No. 4, Julin has moved up to play the No. 2 and No. 3 where he is 3-0 on each court. Julin has not lost a set the entire spring season. Didrik Berg is Stetson's No. 1 singles player at 6-5 on the top court.
Florida Gulf Coast has won three of its last four matches and will play USC Upstate on Thursday before its Saturday battle with the Bucs. The Eagles made the trip to Georgia last weekend as well, defeating Kennesaw State, 6-1, but falling to Mercer, 4-3. FGCU's other two conference matches came at home in wins against Lipscomb, 6-1 and Northern Kentucky, 7-0.
In its undefeated run through A-Sun play last year, ETSU defeated Stetson, 5-0, and FGCU, 7-0. Since joining the A-Sun, the Buccaneers are perfect against the two schools with a 7-0 mark against the Hatters and 5-0 record against the Eagles.
Live stats will be available for Thursday's matchup with Stetson courtesy of GoHatters.com.

With indicators suggesting the economy is pulling itself out of its near four-year slump, new businesses are poised to fill Chestnut Hill vacancies.
For example, Old Fashioned Style Primo Hoagies, the latest outlet in this regional chain (most are in Pennsylvania and New Jersey), just opened at 51 Bethlehem Pike, the former home of the Post Light, on Monday, Dec. 3. The owner is Mike Pieciuk.
The 20-seat shop will be decorated with a sports theme and include big-screen televisions to watch games. He'll also offer curbside pickup. "I can't see why any business owner wouldn't look at that area and say this is a great spot," said Pieciuk, 54, about the location, a storefront with a wide window he'll utilize to enhance diners' views.
As he walked into Kilian's Hardware to purchase products he needed to make the final renovations, he said several people, including mothers with strollers and kids, have stopped him when they spotted his Primo's shirt and asked when his store was opening. He said he has hired numerous employees, including students from Springside School, Chestnut Hill Academy and Chestnut Hill College.
Pieciuk, 54, a Conshohocken resident, graduated from Temple University in 1980 with a degree in business. He worked for Acme for 34 years, starting as a bagger and climbing his way up through the company ranks, working as a store manager, schematic analyst and operating manager of E-Business. But in recent years Acme suffered tough times due to economic conditions, and Pieciuk's position was eliminated.
That gave him the opportunity to chase a vision that's been circling in his head for years. "This kind of put me in a situation where I had to do it," says Pieciuk. "I said if I'm gonna open a store this is what I want to do," who signed a five-year lease with the option to renew for two additional five-year terms.
"I want to offer a business that has my personality wrapped into a great product," says Pieciuk, who recently underwent a two-week training period to acquaint him with all aspects of the business. He said his philosophy is: "Happy stores translate into happy customers. And with my employees I try to never say no."
Raised in Juniata Park in Northeast Philadelphia, Pieciuk graduated from Frankford High School in 1975. He lived in Philadelphia after graduating from Temple before moving to Mt. Laurel, N.J. in the late 1980s.
"You know, I wanted a lawn," he said. Now divorced, he is the father of one biological daughter and two stepsons. During our interview, he was at his ex-wife's house eating dinner with the children. They still spend holidays and vacations together. "It's the right thing for the kids," he said.
Primo Hoagies opened its first location at 1528 Ritner St. in South Philly in 1992 with the objective of establishing a family-operated corner deli that made a good hoagie. Since then it has expanded into various locations throughout the Delaware Valley, including Doylestown and Dresher, and as far as Maryland. Its sandwiches have won awards including the Channel 10 News Big Spoon Award, Philadelphia Magazine's Best of Philly and Courier-Post Readers Choice Best of South Jersey.
"The reason for expansion is demand for the product," says Mike Aruanno, vice president of Primo's. "Every one of the franchisees was a fan of the product first." Ten new stores are in the process of being opened, which will bring to the total to 95.

VIDEO: Miami's LeBron James explodes for 61 against Charlotte, 3/3/14
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Black mask, clear mask … why not just mandate a blindfold? After he poured in a career-high 61 points on the Charlotte Bobcats Monday night, LeBron James said he feels like he's throwing a golf ball in the ocean. Surely, he could do that with his eyes closed.
The points are coming fast and furious now. Thirty-seven on Feb. 11 at Phoenix and 36 the next night at Golden State, including the game-winning 3 to sprint into the All-Star break. Then 42 at Dallas followed by 33 and the bloody, busted nose at Oklahoma City that officially waved the green flag on the MVP chase.
Then came 31 against the Knicks, a light night of 20 against Orlando before the Bobcats visited South Beach one night after getting the Kevin Durant treatment (KD lit up Charlotte for a mere 28).
The points are piling up for LeBron, with Dwyane Wade on the floor or playing fashionista on the pine. In Miami on Monday against Charlotte, Wade sat. But he played in Dallas on Feb. 18, attempted just seven shots to clear the runway, and James went 16-for-23 for 42 points, his first 40-point game of the season. Durant has nine stashed in his back pocket.
Wade just shook his head and smiled.
"I think y'all forgot he can score 40," Wade said in Dallas. "People like to forget he's on this team. He could get 40 on a lot of nights if he wanted to."
As surprising as it may be that it took him to game No. 51 to get his first 40, it may be equally surprising to learn that Monday's 61 was James' first time there. You just figured he'd done it before.
The points are one thing. The efficiency is something else entirely. James scored 61 points on 33 shots. He made 22, which gave him a 66.7 shooting percentage.
Shooting too much? Who in the world would tell him to stop? He was 8-for-8 from beyond the arc before he missed his last two. The Bobcats' best defense was no defense at all, at the free-throw line, where James went just 9-for-12.
James is shooting 58.3 percent this season, an amazing clip superior to every forward and guard in the game. And it's not even really close. He's knocking down 38.4 percent of his 3-pointers. Over his last seven games, James has made 100 of his 157 shots, an absurd 63.7 percent, including 20-for-40 from beyond the arc.
Only one other player in the league today is capable of such lethal precision.
More than four years James' junior, Durant last year joined only a handful of players throughout the league's history to finish a season shooting 50 percent overall, 40 percent from beyond the arc and 90 percent from the stripe. This season, while leading the league in scoring at 31.6 points a game — four points higher than James' 27.5 — Durant is shooting 50.7 percent, 39.6 percent and 88.0 percent.
Each season both players keep narrowing the gap between shots attempted and made.
K.D.'s take on his evolving mindset on efficiency:
"Last year, the year before last I started looking at it, but this year I don't care about it," Durant said. "I'm going to shoot my shots no matter what. Last year I was thinking about it in the back of mind, but now I don't care; letting it fly, man. If I'm open, shoot it; if I'm not, pass it. It's simple, just be aggressive. I'm not worried about my shooting percentage, just play the game."
James seems to be following a similar script. Throughout his 61, nothing he did looked forced, nor did his teammates force-feed him. Durant's huge scoring games have been equally organic. Think about this: Durant, averaging a career-best 5.6 assists a game, scored 42 points on opening night with one assist. In his next eight 40-point games he's had four assists, five twice, six, seven twice, nine and 10. James dropped five dimes Monday and six when he put 42 on the Mavs. He's averaging a team-high 6.4 assists a game.
Flash back just a month ago and remember the grief that Carmelo Anthony caught when he pasted the Bobcats for a Madison Square Garden-record 62 points — with zero assists.
What James did Monday night, what he did in OKC two weeks ago is what I meant when I wrote that night that the MVP race is on. Durant performed magic in the dead of winter as we marveled, and as James and the Heat waded through the weeds. Now, spring beckons and the King is gunning.
Often, it's what we witness last that leaves the greatest impression.

|This acquisition of papers from Christopher Middleton, poet, translator, and essayist, is a substantial addition to his materials previously received and cataloged at the Ransom Center. The papers include his original poetry and prose works, translations, essays, correspondence, and published writings. Middleton provided a detailed descriptive list for the collection, and his original order has been followed throughout, except for minor adjustments to maintain consistency. For his original writings, Middleton's order of creation follows a progression from handwritten drafts, primarily in notebooks, to typescripts and ultimately to page proofs and galleys. The material is arranged in three series: Series I. Works, 1968-2003; Series II. Correspondence, 1962-2001; and Series III. Periodical Publications.
|Series I. Works contains three subseries, each arranged in chronological order: A. Original Poetry and Prose; B. Translations; and C. Essays and Reviews. Titles of works, primarily published poetry, in Subseries A. include Our Flowers & Nice Bones (1969), The Lonely Suppers of W. V. Balloon (1975), Pataxanadu, & Other Prose (1977), Carminalenia (1980), 111 Poems (1983), Serpentine (1985), Two Horse Wagon Going By (1986), Selected Writings (1989), The Balcony Tree (1992), Intimate Chronicles (1996), In the Mirror of the Eighth King (1999), Twenty Tropes for Doctor Dark (2000), The Word Pavilion and Selected Poems (2001), Crypto-Topographia: Stories of Secret Places (2002), and Of Mortal Fire: 1999-2002 (2003). In addition to handwritten notes for the majority of works in the chronological listing, there are additional notebooks that contain drafts of poems, translations, and essays. Because multiple works are represented in each notebook, an index was created to link the published work with the various notebooks. This alphabetical index is found at the end of the folder list.
|The prose and poetry translations in Subseries B. contain anthologies, edited by Middleton and translated in collaboration with others, as well as his translations of others' works. Included are Modern German Poetry, 1910-1960 (1962), German Writing Today (1967), Selected Letters of Friedrich Nietzsche (1969), Christa Wolf's The Quest for Christa T (1970), Selected Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin and Eduard Mörike (1972), Robert Walser's Selected Stories (1983), Selected Poems of Goethe (1983), Christoph Meckel's The Figure on the Boundary Line: Selected Prose (1983), Andalusian Poems (1993), and numerous works by Gert Hofmann and Lars Gustaffson (1984-2000). Essays and reviews are found in Subseries C., most especially The Pursuit of the Kingfisher (1983).
|Series II. Correspondence, 1962-2001, contains two subseries, Alphabetical Files and Chronological Files. The Alphabetical Files contain letters from poets, writers, and translators, with occasional copies of Middleton's responses. Correspondents include Leonardo Alishan, Basil Bunting, Cid Corman, Michel Deguy, Babette Deutsch, James Dickey, Lawrence Durrell, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Günter Grass, Thom Gunn, Donald Hall, Michael Hamburger, Michael Harlow, John Hawkes, Ernst Jandl, Robinson Jeffers, Erwin Jereb, Ronald Johnson, August Kleinzahler, Denise Levertov, Cecil Day Lewis, Thomas Lowenstein, Gerard Malanga, Robert Marteau, Friederike Mayröcker, Mary McCarthy, W. S. Merwin, Gloria Oden, Octavio Paz, Peter Redgrove, Hans Richter, David Rokeah, Claude Royet-Journoud, Siegfried Sassoon, Thomás Segovia, Karl Shapiro, Roger Shattuck, Edison Simons, Nathaniel Tarn, Dumitru Tsepeneag, Rosmarie and Keith Waldrop, Donald Weismann, David Wevill, Tom Whalen, John Willett, and Jonathan Williams. The Chronological Files, 1962-2001, are subdivided into three subject areas: Publishers, Periodicals, and Translations and editorial material.
|The periodical publications in Series III. contain writings by Middleton, especially poems, but also essays and reviews. The material is arranged in alphabetical order by serial title.
|Middleton's works and other books received with the manuscripts have been transferred to the Ransom Center Library.

Fate of the Galaxy is a first-person space combat game about the incredible starfighter battles of the Star Wars Original Trilogy. We want to put you directly in the cockpit of an X-Wing or TIE Fighter and let you live the battles yourself. Victory or defeat is up to you and your friends, in the most fast paced, exciting, and authentic Star Wars game ever. Choose to follow the career of a pilot for the Rebel Alliance, an Imperial Officer, or a freelancing mercenary during the height of the galactic civil war in three connected campaigns. Best of all, it's fan-made, not-for-profit, and totally free!
As many of you surely noticed, this website was offline for several weeks. The hosting service we were using was acquired by a new company, which created some billing problems that unfortunately led to the server being shut off and deleted. Thanks to the valiant efforts of some engineers at the new hosting company, they were able to restore everything and have assured us that the original issues that caused this cascade of failures has been fixed. I apologize for the outage and any inconvenience it has caused, and as we ramp things up for a first public release, are doing everything we can to make sure we have a smooth and pleasant experience for everyone.
That's right, loyal readers, we're still alive! In fact, we have been working hard behind the scenes to incorporate new features and simultaneously fixing bugs.
Bobbtmann has made some great progress on the Nebulon-B, which now has completed textures and will soon be ready to be brought into the game. This was one of the last ships from the original Star Wars trilogy that we didn't have, and fills an important role in the Rebel fleet.
The Incom T-65 X-wing fighter is the Alliance's primary space superiority platform. Originally planned for the Imperial starfleet as a replacement for the venerable Z-95 Headhunter, this fighter was delivered to the Rebellion near the start of the Galactic Civil War when the entire design team defected, bringing the prototype fighters along with them.
Slayn & Korpil's B-wing starfighter is a heavily armed and armored assault platform developed during the Galactic Civil War by the Rebel Alliance. Designed as part of the top-secret Project Shantipole by then-Commander Ackbar and a team of Verpine engineers, the B-wing was a response to the Empire's increased deployment of the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates and other anti-starfighter vessels that were emerging at the time.
In the early days of the Rebel Alliance, the Empire's TIE series starfighters possessed a substantial speed advantage over any fighter craft the Rebellion could field. Recognizing this deficiency, General Jan Dodonna set out to design a dedicated interceptor capable of outrunning anything in the Imperial arsenal.
The first dedicated space superiority craft developed for the New Republic military, FreiTek's E-wing is a balanced and powerful fighter. Introduced several years after the Battle of Endor, the E-wing experienced more than its share of teething problems, as the initial design was built around the R7 astromech droid, an advanced custom-built unit which brought a host of its own glitches along with it.
One of the most infamous vessels of the Galactic Civil War, the Millennium Falcon has spirited Senators, Rebel Leaders, and Jedi Knights through the most perilous moments of the conflict. Present during many critical battles, the Falcon excels in combat and has proven itself able to evade capture against seemingly insurmountable odds.
An inconspicuous but vital component of the standard Imperial fighter wing, the TIE/rc variant is the most prominent sublight reconnaissance craft of the Galactic Civil War. Though the Empire makes extensive use of dedicated scout ships, those craft are built for maximum speed in hyperspace and tend to carry massive and expensive sensor equipment.
Sienar Fleet Systems' Lambda Shuttle is the Empire's workhorse light utility transport. Well armed, armored, and shielded, this vessel is capable of carrying its crew of six officers plus eighty tons of cargo or over twenty battle-ready troops through a combat zone with minimal or no escort. Another advantage possessed by this shuttle is a high end hyperdrive, making it faster than even some of the Empire's older capital ships.
The Telgorn Corporation Delta Class DX-9 stormtrooper transport is the last thing any ship harboring rebels wants to see. Heavily armed with four twin blaster cannons, four ion cannons, and ten torpedo tubes, this ship is capable of disabling vessels many times its size.
Koensayr Manufacturing's BTL Y-wing series is the backbone of the Alliance's fighter force. While early two-man fighter bombers from this family of craft were first seen in Republic service during the Clone Wars, it is the one-man A4 model which does most of the heavy lifting in the Galactic Civil War.
The Incom/Subpro Z-95 Headhunter is one of the most enduring starfighter designs of the last fifty years. First introduced over a decade before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, the Headhunter proved itself to be one of the most adaptable fighters serving the Republic in that conflict, outlasting the later Incom/Subpro ARC-170 both in military and civilian use.

What a Difference Political Culture Makes
While democracy is developing and strengthening in more and more countries across the world, there may be some lessons to learn from older, established democracies. Democracy does not equal democracy – different forms and philosophical foundations shape different political cultures. Different political cultures favor different practices and outcomes. The political and civic leadership in evolving democracies may possibly have a chance to push things in one or another direction by looking at practices and outcomes in other countries.
Political communication scholar Diana Mutz published a book in 2006, Hearing the Other Side, in which she explores the fundamental difference between participatory and deliberative democracy. Deliberative democracy is currently a favorite paradigm in political science, and is also becoming increasingly important in development. Deliberation has been shown to improve the lives of the poorest and most disadvantaged citizens by allowing them a seat at the table of (often local) decision-makers and by giving voice to their needs. The deliberative ideal, which is based on collaborative problem-solving, sounds pretty good when the goal is improving people's lives. Mutz argues that although participatory democracy is related, it is more adversarial and competitive. In participatory democracy, the political process is about giving some interests precedence over other interests. It's an adversarial culture, based on conflicting and competing interests, where, for instance, elections decide which interests will dominate.
History seems to have a lot to do with the form of democratic culture. In an enlightening article, political sociologist Uri Ben-Eliezer explains how the Anglo-Saxon form of liberal democracy has come to be focused on a competition of interests: This particular democratic tradition is influenced by the English Puritan Revolution of 1688 and John Locke's political philosophy with its focus on the protection of individual rights and the pursuit of individual interests. The Western-European model of Republican democracy, on the other hand, can be traced back to the French Revolution of 1789 and to the philosophy of Rousseau, favoring equality among citizens and a strong sense of community. I would argue that deliberative, collaborative democratic practices are more likely to be an integral part of the political process if community and interest harmonization are part of the political philosophy. If it's about competing interests, the political culture is more likely to be competitive and activist.
I find this argument interesting for development in at least two ways. First, we have just witnessed the Arab Spring. History will show which values were dominant among those who led the revolution and among those who now have to turn the new beginning into a functioning state. But it seems to me that a strong focus on freedom and equality was at the heart of the Arab Spring. Which democratic form will stem from these values? Chances are pretty good that it will be a new form, looking different than the forms of democracy we have seen throughout history throughout the world. Will this new form be a good fit for other developing democracies?
Second, I'm wondering whether political and civic leaders can have a hand in shaping political culture by promoting certain political practices. Deliberation may be a good example here. If collaborative practices such as deliberation are being fostered in the process of democratic evolution, can this push the political culture toward the deliberative ideal?

Last Friday I posted some reflections on The Last Waltz, inspired by Spout blogger Christopher Campbell's "Documentary Classics" piece a few days earlier on Martin Scorsese's filmed record of the Band's all-star 1976 farewell show. Admitting a general bias against music films that long kept him from screening Scorsese's canonical rock doc, Campbell wrote that he planned to "give more concert films a shot" and asked for suggestions. So here some are.
Some seemingly obvious choices (Woodstock, Gimme Shelter) aren't here because Campbell noted that he's already watched (or tried to watch) them. And because I agree with him that a really good concert film should engage people who aren't necessarily fans of the artist or artists in question, I aimed for movies I believe offer something significant to the viewer, in cinematic, conceptual, or cultural terms, beyond the performances themselves – marvelous as I think many of them are.
And since there's plenty I can't cover here, I'll ask for suggestions too. What are we missing?

A broken ankle kept Candis Kowalik from having another dream season.
But it was one of her best seasons anyway, despite the fact that she didn't get a chance to defend her state title. Her Vets gymnastics team had the best season it's had in years, and the squad was as close-knit as any Kowalik has ever been on.
"This year, we had a lot more teamwork," Kowalik said. "A lot of the girls came together, we started practicing hard. We really started to look good out there. We became like sisters."
That's not an easy perspective to have for a gymnast who has never settled for anything less than the best. Kowalik came to Vets as one of the top club gymnasts in the state and she won the individual state championship in her freshman season.
But when she broke her ankle late in the season, the realization that she was still part of something special really kicked in.
"It was amazing to be a part of it," Kowalik said.
And Kowalik certainly did her part. Before the injury, she was Vets' top scorer in every meet and she would have been the favorite to win another championship.
She also set the tone for the 'Canes – and it was hard for her teammates not to be sparked by her success.
"I definitely felt like I needed to be the leader of the team because I'm the only one with that much experience," she said.
Kowalik was always willing to help, sometimes spending all of a Vets practice working with teammates on routines and skills before heading to her own practices at night.
That helped the 'Canes finish 11-1 and win the Division II regular-season championship.
Kowalik and the 'Canes think that's just the beginning. Half-a-dozen experienced gymnasts are set to come to Vets next year, where they'll join an improving group of gymnasts that already have their team chemistry working well.
"Next year, we should be an even better team," Kowalik said.
Back on her feet, Kowalik is aiming high in her individual goals, too. She'd like to break the all-time Rhode Island state meet scoring record.
"This year, I was hoping to beat the record, but I didn't get the chance," she said. "Next year, hopefully I can do it."

Points leader Regan Smith won the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday, holding off Kyle Larson in the final 10 laps.
It was Smith's second win of the year and 11th top-10 finish in 13 starts. He took the lead with 13 laps remaining when Parker Kligerman had to pit, and although Larson closed the gap a bit toward the end, he wasn't able to overtake Smith's No. 7 Chevrolet.
The 125-lap, 250-mile race was run under threatening weather conditions, but drivers were able to finish with no delays. Paul Menard was third, followed by Kyle Busch and Trevor Bayne.
Smith's final margin of victory was 0.331 seconds. He also won at Talladega in May.

14 November 2013, Bangkok, Thailand - Since October 2013 a UNOSAT office is active within the Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Reduction Division at ESCAP in Bangkok. The development comes just 7 months after UNITAR and ESCAP signed a partnership agreement committing to working together for the Asia Pacific region in the areas of satellite applications, disaster management and capacity development at national level.
The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific has 53 member States and is one of the five regional commissions of the United Nations. It was established in 1947 to encourage economic cooperation among its member states. The UNOSAT office hosted at ESCAP has three main responsibilities: operationalizing the partnership with ESCAP, providing OCHA in the region with technical support on humanitarian rapid mapping, and assisting UNOSAT capacity development programming and delivery in countries in the region. Bangkok is also a strategic location for UNOSAT because of the presence of important partners like ADPC, teh Asia Disaster Preparedness Centre, and AIT, Asian Institute of Tecnology, and a number of UN agencies' regional offices, among which UNISDR.
Dr. Shamika Sirimanne, Director of ESCAP Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division expressed her appreciation to UNITAR and UNOSAT and added: "This is very exciting indeed and will help achieve better and more comprehensive access to and use of space-related services, as well as to benefit from geospatial information for effective disaster risk reduction".
UNOSAT began investing resources in the region in 2010. Early successes and concrete results helped the Programme attract additional support and financial resources. The partnership with ESCAP started in 2011 and was formalised in 2013 as a strategic anchor for the action of the UN system in Asia and the Pacific. The Manager of UNOSAT, Einar Bjorgo, explains: "This partnership is important to us because we want to create a hub in this thriving part of the world. ESCAP is the UN hub in Asia-Pacific so it was natural that our home away from home be here in Bangkok. We are thankful to the Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division for housing our office and we look forward to working with them as well with our colleagues from OCHA and ISDR now that we are office neighbours".

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission voted April 17 to incorporate administrative procedures for new zoning processes – including Civic Design Review and the registry of community organizations (RCOs) – that some members of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Development Review Committee believe threaten its zoning process.
CHCA Community Manager Celeste Hardester told a meeting of the committee that she had attended the planning commission and said the rules were passed without discussion.
This issue of registered community organizations has been of concern to the CHCA for some time. DRC committee members fear that requirements for developers to have one informational meeting with a community organization registered with the city could undermine the civic design review process now in place.
That process is made possible by a practice that requires all zoning applications requiring a variance to obtain the approval of the local civic association. The CHCA has used that leverage to insist that all zoning applicants seeking a variance go through the CHCA zoning process.
A group led by DRC member John Landis met several times with the chair of the city's Zoning Code Commission last year, urging the inclusion of an amendment that would create a separate designation for community organizations already established.
The proposed amendment was not included in the procedures approved Tuesday.
"Are they ignoring us?" Landis asked rhetorically.
"The convening RCO [designation] is a level of complexity they are not interested in," Hardester said, referring to the planning commission. "They are trying to simplify the zoning code."
"The intent of our proposal was to make [the zoning code] more useful," Landis said.
Hardester said RCOs are defined by their established territorial boundaries.
"I think as long as a developer is interested in going through our process, certainly there's nothing that I'm aware of that says that can't happen," Hardester said. "They can go on whatever schedule they choose to."
Hardester added that the shortened process could mean that any input from Chestnut Hill would have to occur within 45 days instead of the current schedule.
"Now we're in competition with an RCO," Landis added, "and I think that our fear is that there might be these … less conscientious RCOs, and the developers might choose to go through them and take that to the ZBA."
According to Hardester, the city's Department of Records will now make the regulations available for 30 days and give public notice in newspapers. If no hearing is requested, the regulations will become effective after 30 days. If a hearing is requested, the regulations become effective 10 days after a report of the hearing is filed.
