The ownership group of Memphis International Raceway has acquired the International Hot Rod Association from Feld Motor Sports.
The ownership group, under the corporation IHRA Entertainment LLC, takes over management immediately of what will become IHRA Motorsports.
The hot rod association is 43 years old. It sanctions more than 100 drag racing venues in North America with 12,000 racers as members.
The ownership group includes managing partners Michael Dezer of Dezer Properties, Joseph Lubeck of Landmark Apartment Trust of America Inc., Edward Kobel of DeBartolo Development, and Jason Rittenberry, president and CEO of IHRA Entertainment.
The partners bought the Memphis Motorsports Park from Dover Motorsports Inc. in 2011 and added it to a portfolio that included the old Moroso Motorsports Park in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2008.
The group recently invested $30 million in a multi-track venue in Jupiter, Fla.
United Parcel Service Inc. says weak global trade and a disappointing holiday-shopping season slowed it down in the fourth quarter.
Profit in the last three months of 2012 fell short of Wall Street expectations. So did UPS' outlook for this year as the company took a cautious approach toward the global economy.
UPS also forecast a "relatively flat" first quarter. Shares dropped 2 percent.
"Overall we still see 2013 as a slow-growth economy," Chairman and CEO D. Scott Davis said Thursday on a conference call with analysts.
Davis said Europe was more stable than a year ago, and "in the U.S., I think we got off to a strong start in January." But, he added, "We're not banking on a robust economy."
The Atlanta-based company said it expects 2013 adjusted earnings of between $4.80 and $5.06 per share. That would be an increase of 6 percent to 12 percent over 2012, but less than the $5.13 per share that analysts expected. UPS said the first quarter would be fairly flat, hurt by one less business day than in 2012.
UPS said that it lost $1.75 billion in the fourth quarter because of a $3 billion charge for pension liabilities, compared with a profit of $725 million a year earlier. Without the pension-accounting charge, UPS said that it would have earned $2.05 billion, or $1.32 per share.
Analysts expected adjusted earnings of $1.38 per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue rose 3 percent to $14.57 billion, beating analysts' forecast of $14.48 billion.
The company said that disruptions from Hurricane Sandy lowered earnings by 5 cents per share and money spent on the failed pursuit of Dutch delivery firm TNT Express NV cost another penny per share.
UPS increased its plan for spending on buying back its own stock this year to $4 billion from $1.5 billion.
A proposal to allow supermarkets and convenience stores to stock wine would continue to limit sales of high-alcohol beer and fortified wines to liquor stores.
State Sen. Bill Ketron of Murfreesboro and fellow Republican Rep. Jon Lundberg of Bristol on Thursday introduced their bill to end the exclusive right of liquor stores to sell wine in Tennessee. Grocery store sales would be limited to wine with an alcohol content of no more than 18 percent.
The measure would put the option of whether to allow wider wine sales to voters in local cities and counties. The Republican House and Senate speakers support the change.
Opponents argue the change would unfairly disrupt the existing liquor stores business, and that the measure would make higher-alcohol drinks more widely available to minors.
Union employees of a private waste disposal company are back on the job in Memphis, ending a two-day work stoppage.
Republic Services/Allied Waste Services General Manager Roger Lawrence said the company received a letter Wednesday from the Teamsters Union Local 984, stating the 180 striking employees would return for the regular shifts on Thursday.
Lawrence also said the union agreed to work on the weekend, to catch up trash collection for 200,000 residential customers and 10,000 business customers in the Memphis area.
The agreement followed a meeting between company and union representatives.
The Memphis Area Association of Realtors Education Foundation has partnered with New Memphis Institute to offer a leadership training customized specifically for MAAR members.
The Leadership MAAR program is designed to build and develop personal leadership skills, enhance those skills through teamwork and management, and inspire participants to share their newly acquired leadership abilities with the Association and their communities.
Carol Lott, past president of MAAR, is the brainchild behind the Leadership MAAR program. She said Realtors are "ambassadors for this city" and need to be trained to be confident in that role.
The effort with MAAR helps New Memphis Institute continue to train leaders across all sectors of city to forge a vital and prosperous new Memphis.
The Leadership MAAR program kicks off Feb. 13. For more information on Leadership MAAR visit http://www.maar.org/leadershipmaar.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment aid rose sharply last week but remained at a level consistent with moderate hiring.
Weekly applications for unemployment benefits leapt 38,000 to a seasonally adjusted 368,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The increase comes after applications plummeted in the previous two weeks to five-year lows. Applications fell by a combined 45,000 in the second and third weeks of January.
The volatility reflects the government's difficulty adjusting the data to account for layoffs after the holiday shopping season. Job cuts typically spike in the second week in January as retailers dismiss temporary employees hired for the winter holidays. Layoffs then fall in the second half of the month.
The department attempts to adjust for such fluctuations but the January figures can still be volatile. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, ticked up to 352,000, just above a four-year low.
Most economists weren't concerned by the increase.
Panera Bread Co. is moving along with the build-out of its new Midtown location.
The St. Louis-based fast-casual sandwich franchise recently filed for its business license at 1961 Union Ave. with the Shelby County Clerk's Office. The 4,588-square-foot, freestanding space formerly housed Pizza Hut, which relocated west to the Belvedere Collection shopping center.
Panera will likely open by the end of February, said Rick Postle, who owns Panera franchise rights to the Memphis area along with his wife, Rosemary, under the entity Delta Dough Inc. The location will mark Delta Dough's eighth Panera store in the Mid-South, a market it entered more than four years ago.
Postle said the entire build-out, including rework on the building, interior layouts and equipment, and signage will top $1 million. The store will create more than 50 jobs.
Bank of Bartlett has reported a profit of $12.3 million for 2012 and a profit of $255,125 for the fourth quarter.
The quarterly profit marked the sixth straight quarter Bank of Bartlett has been in the black.
Among other highlights for 2012, the bank saw a 17 percent decline in non-performing assets and a 36 percent increase in new mortgage loans – $70 million in 2012, up from $45 million in 2011.
The historic Nineteenth Century Club building at 1433 Union Ave. was auctioned off in a sealed auction by Morris Auction Group Thursday, Jan. 24.
Sam Zalowitz of Zalowitz Commercial Realty LLC represented the buyer, said Jeff Morris, Morris Auction Group president. A sales contract is in place, and the next step is to set up a closing, which can take up to 30 days.
When asked what the highest bid was, the amount of bids offered and what the buyer's intentions are, Morris declined to comment. Zalowitz was unavailable to be reached by phone after multiple attempts.
Meanwhile, Memphis Heritage's "Save the 19th Century Club" Facebook page posted Thursday afternoon that "unfortunately the 19 Century Club members took the money over the importance of heritage and history" and the Midtown structure will likely be razed. There were two bids, one for $550,000 and one for $350,000, and the $550,000 bid was accepted, according to the social media posting.
Built in 1890, the 15,813-square-foot house was purchased in 1926 by The Nineteenth Century Club, a philanthropic women's organization. The three-story wood frame structure is commercially zoned and sits on 1.2 acres at Union between Kimbrough and Cleveland streets. Its 2012 appraisal from the Shelby County Assessor of Property was $664,800.
Crye-Leike Realtors Inc.'s Dick Leike and Robert Gorman previously had the Nineteenth Century Club property listed for $1.5 million. Leike told The Daily News in August that the building was structurally sound.
The first charter school in Memphis and in the state of Tennessee had its charter renewed Tuesday, Jan. 29, by the countywide school board.
Memphis City Schools administrators had recommended non-renewal of the charter of the 10-year-old Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering based on a drop in student achievement test scores.
Leaders of the grade 6-12 school argued they had improved the deficient math scores in the intervening three years and were being judged on high school standards unfairly when the school spans middle and high school grades.
Of the school board members present, only Martavius Jones voted for the non-renewal recommendation.
Most school board members expressing an opinion said they were concerned that most of the MASE students would be attending conventional public schools in the bottom 5 percent statewide in terms of student achievement if they closed the charter school.
The renewal is for a term of 10 years, but if student achievement test scores begin to dip again and do so for two consecutive school years, the school board could abolish the charter and the school organizers would have no right of appeal. In other action, the school board approved the demolition of the old Lincoln Junior High School gymnasium in South Memphis.
Last year was the most profitable year ever for Magna Bank since its founding in 1999.
Magna recorded a profit of $3.1 million in 2012, a 24 percent improvement over 2011. The bank's assets were up 12.1 percent, loans were up 10.8 percent and deposits were up almost 10 percent.
The bank originated $22.4 million in new SBA loans. It originated $353 million in residential first mortgage loans, a 36 percent jump from 2011, and the bank originated $189 million in new commercial real estate loans in 2012.
During the fourth quarter, Magna investors got a special dividend payout of 27 cents a share.

Vox Awards honor organizations that have successfully communicated their brand and messaging through strategic communications, resourcefulness, creativity and quality expertise.

Kroger's new store in Poplar Plaza shopping center is scheduled for a March 20 opening.
The 81,500-square-foot building will back up to Prescott Street and face east. It will be Kroger's biggest store in Memphis.
The new store will include extensive bulk nutrition, Boars Head, organics, locally grown products, as well as fresh seafood and complete deli and bakery.
Kroger kicked off construction on its own building last year, a project that involved the Burlington, Mass.-based owner of Poplar Plaza, Finard Properties LLC, to reconfigure the layout of several tenants within the 360,000-square-foot center in the University of Memphis area. Upon the Kroger completion, the old Kroger will be razed for a parking lot.
The Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index shows that business owners have regained some optimism with the start of the new year.
That's a reversal from November, when the survey had dropped to its most pessimistic level in two years. The latest Index improved 20 points (to positive 9) in January, up from negative 11 in November.
Key drivers of the improvement in the survey, conducted Jan. 7-11, include increased business owner optimism about revenue, capital spending, jobs over the past 12 months, more optimism about overall financial situations, cash flow, and jobs over the next 12 months. A year ago, in January 2012, the Index was at positive 15.
While optimism improved from the fourth quarter, the survey paints a mixed picture with respect to jobs and hiring. More business owners (71 percent) expect the number of jobs at their companies to stay the same over the next 12 months, and business owners planning to add jobs during the same period remained unchanged at 17 percent.
Shelby County Commissioners voted Monday, Jan. 28, to disband the 10-year old Needs Assessment Committee that reviewed and prioritized school construction projects for both of the county's public school systems.
The appointed committee, which included architects and construction contractors, has not met in the last year and a half and no new appointments to the city-county body have been made because of the coming consolidation of the two school systems that begins in August.
Also at a 45-minute commission meeting Monday, the body delayed action on a resolution that is the second quarter financial statement from County Trustee David Lenoir. The commission delayed accepting the report as they await further figures from Lenoir.
Commissioners want to know whether the stable property tax rate the commission approved last spring amounted to a tax hike in terms of the revenue it produced for Shelby County government.
The numbers are part of a larger discussion the commission has had as it prepares to recertify the property tax rate following the 2013 property reappraisal.
State law says the recertified rate cannot produce a windfall of more revenue than county government made from the old tax rate. From that point, the commission then votes separately on any tax hike that might be proposed.
Metropolitan BancGroup Inc., the holding company for Metropolitan Bank, has reported its 13th straight quarter and its fourth straight year of increased earnings.
Metropolitan saw full-year earnings of about $5.02 million for the year ending Dec. 31. The bank reported 2012 pre-tax earnings 102 percent higher than 2011 results, along with a 22 percent increase in total assets, ending the year at $722 million.
For the fourth quarter, the bank reported pre-tax earnings of about $1.7 million, a 286 percent increase over the same quarter last year. Metropolitan also reported balance sheet growth, including a 33 percent increase in deposits in 2012.
Total loans grew 17 percent in 2012, and mortgage banking revenues grew 97 percent, topping $2 million for the year.

A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes fell last month after reaching a 2 1/2-year high in November. Sales were held back by a limited supply of available homes.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales dropped 4.3 percent in December from November to 101.7. That's still 6.9 percent higher than a year ago.
The decline signals that sales of previously occupied homes may cool off in the coming months. There's generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
Still, the broader trend in home sales remains solid. Completed sales of previously occupied homes rose last year to their highest level in five years, one of many signs of recovery in the housing market last year. And the Realtors' group forecasts that sales will rise 9 percent this year, as the recovery strengthens. Other economists have similar forecasts.
Stable job gains and record-low mortgage rates have encouraged more people to buy homes. And a tight supply of homes for sale has pushed up prices and made builders more confident to step up construction.
Tennessee prosecutors are pushing for changes to the law that they say will aid the prosecution of serial child sexual abusers.
Guy Jones is deputy director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference. He said in a news release that prosecutors want to be able to have one trial for sex abusers who commit crimes in multiple counties instead of separate trials in each county. The proposed change is part of the group's legislative agenda this year.
They also want to increase the minimum amount of time that must be served before a prisoner is eligible for parole in cases of aggravated child neglect and attempted first-degree murder where there are serious bodily injuries.
The Economic Club of Memphis has a new executive director.
Dr. Christine Jiang succeeds Dr. David Kemme as executive director of the club. She begins her duties immediately.

The new Executive Committee of the Economic Club consists of Don Hutson, club president and a professional speaker as well as CEO of U.S. Learning LLC; Michael Drury, vice president and chief economist at McVean Trading and Investments LLC; David Waddell, secretary-treasurer and president and CEO of Waddell & Associates; and Kris Matula, immediate-past president and the retired president of Buckeye Technologies Inc.
Memphis-based wealth management firm Diversified Trust has announced seven promotions.
Being promoted to senior vice president are Jo Len Clark and Marcus Lewis. Melissa Schilling has been promoted to vice president. And being promoted to senior associate are Tim Dudas, Amy Hudson, Megan Mayhew and Hadley Miller.

People who got state unemployment benefits last year can access online the forms they need for income tax purposes.
The documents are called IRS Form 1099-Gs. There is a link to them from the home page of the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development: www.tennessee.gov/labor-wfd.
Benefit recipients can access the forms by entering their birth date or the PIN they used to certify or inquire on their unemployment claim.
The department also began mailing the 1099-G forms to more than 245,000 benefit recipients on Jan. 14.

I'm a fan of snow. It seems very peaceful whenever it snows. But even this is a stretch for me. Especially when it delays the spring sports season by nearly three weeks.
It's pretty unfortunate that we will see a much shorter local spring sports season this year, especially because the season is so short as it is. Playoffs this year for most of the spring sports begin the week of May 20, which means the regular season will only be about a month long after considering all of the game cancellations.
What I think the teams should do is play the games anyway. Wouldn't that be entertaining? Just imagine watching an outdoor baseball game in blizzard conditions. Players wouldn't be able to hit rolling grounders, let alone be able to see the white bases covered in snow. But golf would be even more entertaining. It would take a few hours just to play one hole because everyone would just be searching for their ball the whole time. I'm not sure how putting on snow would work, but it would be pretty amusing to see a plus 190 as a winning score.
Speaking of golf, the 2013 Masters Golf Tournament was held last week in Georgia, in which Australian Adam Scott ended with the win and the green jacket. It was a really exciting Masters Sunday because of all of the rain the players had to fight through. Scott is the only Aussie to win the Masters, which is pretty cool. Being a disc golfer myself, I had a great time watching the best players in the world compete at the biggest golf tournament of the year. I just wish there was the same amount of media coverage at the Disc Golf World Championships.
On the basketball side of things, the NBA playoffs begin on the 20th, which is about the only time I actually watch the NBA, but nonetheless it should be exciting. It will be interesting to see how all of the big name teams do. Last year the Miami Heat took the title, and it looks like they might have a good chance at getting it again this year. I tend to ignore and not pay much attention to the mainstream, big name sports teams that the media usually slaves over, but this year was different when it comes to basketball. The Heat has had an incredible basketball season this year and their winning streak was pretty amazing to watch. Being from Wisconsin, I have to root for the Bucks in the playoffs, but I doubt they will make it far. It's miraculous they are even in the playoffs this year. They beat the Heat earlier in the season, so I know it's possible for them to do well, but I know deep down it's probably not going to happen. Oh well.
Finally, on Monday we were all shocked and terrified at what happened in Boston. I'm not a runner myself, but I know how special of an event the Boston Marathon is. Each year, athletes from all over the nation and the world travel to the event so they can run in the world's oldest annual marathon. It's pretty scary what happened, but whenever anything terrible happens in the news, the first thing I usually do is watch adorable puppy videos on Youtube. But the second thing I do is try and remind myself of all of the good that is in humans, besides just focusing on the bad. Patton Oswalt helped remind me of this when I read his response to the bombing. There were many heroes who helped save lives during the catastrophe, from ordinary citizens to a former New England Patriots player. These are the individuals we need to be thankful for each day.

Routes for plowing set in place
Emergency Snow Route Streets - Moberly Police Chief Russell Tarr says, "We are very concerned with the prediction of the next storm coming in." Snow removal from last week's storm was a large undertaking for the City of Moberly but went well. With snow still remaining it is important for residents to be aware that under the City ordinance Section 16-287 several streets in five Moberly have been designated as snow routes. Those streets are targeted for snow removal when three inches or more of snow is on the ground. The city will enact the ordinance that states the city has the authority to tow vehicles from the streets. Chief Tarr is asking for everyone's cooperation and doesn't want to inconvenience anyone, but snow removal is of utmost importance. After the streets have been cleaned of snow the operators or owners of the motor vehicles may again park upon the emergency snow route streets with permission of the police department.

Before the police department orders the motor vehicle towed from a snow removal street, the police department may use reasonable efforts to locate the owner/operator of the vehicle parked on the street. If the vehicle is towed the cost of the towing is the responsibility of the owner/operator of that vehicle.

The unified web portal is customizable and provides job data management, remote visualization and interactive job support. It also provides an interactive environment to easily package software as kits for application deployment as well as pre-integrated commercial application support.
Dynamic operating system multi-boot
Automated operating system selection based on workload
Platform HPC supports image-based installs, allowing cluster nodes to be rapidly cloned while also providing support for diskless nodes. Because of this, Platform HPC can deploy multiple operating system versions concurrently on the same resource and, based on job resource requirements, dynamically boot the Linux or Windows operating system required to run the job.
You can also use a web interface to manually switch nodes to the required OS to meet application demands, providing you with the flexibility to support special requests and accommodate unanticipated changes.
GPU scheduling and monitoring
Take advantage of high performing GPUs
- Intelligently submit jobs to only resources with GPUs in mixed cluster environments
- Monitor resources with GPUs
- Optimize utilization of GPU resources
Platform HPC provides the capability to schedule jobs only to resources with GPUs. This is particularly advantageous in heterogeneous hardware environments as it means that administrators can configure Platform HPC so that only those jobs that can benefit from running on GPUs are allocated to those resources. This frees up CPU-based resources to run other jobs. Using the unified management interface, administrators can monitor the GPU performance as well as detect ECC errors.
The combination of Tesla GPUs and Platform's HPC products offers a powerful combined solution for building the clusters that enterprises and academic institutions need today, to tackle their challenging problems.
Robust commercial MPI library (Platform MPI)
Accelerates and scales HPC applications, for shorter time to solution.
Platform MPI
In order to make it easier to get parallel applications up and running, Platform HPC includes the industry's most robust and highest performing MPI implementation, Platform MPI. Platform MPI provides consistent performance at application run-time and for application scaling, resulting in top performance results across a range of third-party benchmarks.
Open Source MPI
Platform HPC also includes various other industry standard MPI implementations. This includes MPICH1, MPICH2 and MVAPICH1, which are optimized for cluster hosts connected via InfiniBand, iWARP or other RDMA based interconnects.

City of Lies: Love, Sex, Death and the Search for Truth in Tehran[edit]
City of Lies: Love, Sex, Death and the Search for Truth in TehranBodybuilding Rosa Bolso Workout Slogan Back Day fZqHYp was published in the UK by Weidenfeld and Nicolson in May 2014 and in the USA by PublicAffairs in September 2014. Based on extensive interviews and research City of Lies is an intimate portrait of modern Iran. It chronicles the lives of eight protagonists drawn from across the spectrum of Iranian society.
According to The Telegraph:
City of Lies explodes the stereotypes of rebellious young Iranians doing drugs and attending raves, as it also challenges those about devotion-addled zealots who have benefited from the rise of religion after the revolution.
Navai doesn't shy away from drugs, sex and self-flagellation; she moves through stories about each to reveal the underlying motivations beneath the nose jobs and restitched hymens. "Sex," she writes, "is an act of rebellion in Tehran. A form of protest. Only in sex do many of the younger generation feel truly free." With a keen eye for the absurd, she watches prostitutes and taxi drivers approach one another awkwardly, unsure of who's a trick and who's a ride.
Navai's prose is startling. As they trudge up and down Vali Asr Street to work, eat, shop, pray, turn a trick, Navai's characters observe the wrecked beauty of the world around them. Through these observations, the book is elevated far above typical reportage. She picks up snatches of songs, poems, billboard propaganda and is quick to find the knife and turn the blade on the hypocrisy of the city she knows so well.
One regime billboard advises: 'Let's not spend too much time discussing society's problems in our homes.' As Bjian, her young gangster, drives to his meth lab, he listens to the music group Anonymous Sinners sing a satire of a famous old war song: 'There's no prostitution, no drugs, press freedom, food and jobs, oil money for everyone, people are so happy they never complain…' But in the course of the book we discover that complaining in Iran is de rigueur; an art form, even.
The demands of secrecy pervade every aspect of city life. Many people are trying to find a way to endure the challenges of poverty and an oppressive regime. The government is cutting down the sycamores on Vali Asr in the dead of night. No one knows why they do it at night, other than to avoid the voice of protest rising from the streets of Tehran. In Navai's energetic, eloquent book, these protests are sometimes a mumble, sometimes a scream.[27]
City of Lies won the Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Award for non-fiction,[28] and Debut Political Book of the Year[29] at the Political Book Awards 2015.
Eliza Griswold, The Telegraph:
One of the world's most exciting cities, as revealed by one of journalism's most exciting women. Navai slips effortlessly into the boots of earthy, urban writer to tour Tehran's ripped backsides in this intimate, grand guignol debut.
She transports us through the Iranian capital's multiple personas with deft and knowing navigation: never short of love for even the lowliest of her fellow Tehranis. An intimate and devoted portrait, lifting a beautiful truth from a city masked in lies.[27]
Navai's prose is startling ... Navai's characters observe the wrecked beauty of the world around them. Through these observations, the book is elevated far above typical reportage. She picks up snatches of songs, poems, billboard propaganda and is quick to find the knife and turn the blade on the hypocrisy of the city she knows so well.[30]
Shappi Khorsandi, comedian:
This gripping book is a mosaic of such glimpses into a very different world ... the chapters read like utterly compelling short tales, catapulting us imaginatively into the hearts and minds of people we feel we know.[30]

BOULDER -- Boulder County's moratorium on processing new applications for oil and gas drilling in unincorporated areas will end, as scheduled, on June 10, county commissioners decided Tuesday.
The Board of County Commissioners also decided, however, to try to limit the numbers and locations of new well sites that will be allowed under the county's land-use regulations over the next year or two -- and to inspect and monitor those wells closely to ensure they're complying with Boulder County's new Land Use Code regulations governing such oil and gas development.
The idea, said Commissioner Deb Gardner, is that once the county has its own inspectors and technical experts doing that oversight, if any of initial wells are found to not be meeting the county's regulatory standards, "we shut them down."
Commissioner Elise Jones at one point said she'd support extending the moratorium for another two years, in order to collect more data from studies about the public health impacts of hydraulic fracturing when it's combined with horizontal well drilling.
But Gardner and Commissioner Cindy Domenico didn't support such a long-term extension. Jones advised the more than 50 people attending the meeting that even if many of those there would like to see the commissioners impose an indefinite-length moratorium, "that's not an option."
The commissioners' eventual decision not to extend Boulder County's current temporary moratorium for another year or two openly angered many of the anti-hydraulic fracking activists who crowded into the commissioners' hearing room.
But Domenico said that the controversy over the public health and environmental impacts of "fracking" is one thing, "our ability to regulate it is another thing."
Domenico noted that state laws and court rulings have given the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission the predominant authority to regulate oil and gas development and have limited local governments' ability to adopt rules stricter than the state's regulations.
Several people in the audience interrupted Domenico, in particular, several times when she was detailing her reasons for endorsing Gardner's intensive-oversight approach rather than extending the moratorium beyond June 10.
"It's our lives!" one man shouted. Said another: "You don't know what you're doing!" Demanded a third: "Extend it!"
Boulder County's current moratorium on accepting and processing new oil and gas drilling applications initially took effect in February 2012. Commissioners have twice lengthened it since then, most recently this past January, when they extended it to June 10.
The "go-it-slow" process the commissioners endorsed on Tuesday is to be translated by the county staff into further Land Use Code provisions that the commissioners are tentatively scheduled to consider June 5.
Immediately after Tuesday's meeting, a coalition of anti-fracking organizations that had argued for extending the moratorium issued a written statement -- already prepared before the start of the meeting -- saying that "we ... condemn the actions of Boulder County Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner and Elise Jones and call for a new movement to now be born to defend our health, the overall well being of our community, and our right to local self determination."
The statement said the commissioners have "failed in their duty to protect public health, our way of life, Boulder County open spaces, farms, residences and the natural environment."
Contacts listed on that prepared statement included representatives of such groups as East Boulder County United, Fractivist, The Mother's Project, and Erie Rising.
The commissioners' staff said Boulder County got about 500 emails and more than 100 telephone calls on Monday and Tuesday urging that the county board extend the moratorium.
On Tuesday afternoon, Courtney Loper, the Mountain States field director for Energy in Depth, an organization launched by the Independent Petroleum Association of America, said in a statement that the anti-fracking activists' objections to the commissioners' decision amounted to "over-the-top rhetoric ... and a refusal to accept the fact that scientists, engineers, state regulators and senior officials in the Obama administration have repeatedly stated hydraulic fracturing is fundamentally safe.
"The debate in Boulder County should focus on the facts, and the robust and responsible regulations that are already enforced by the state of Colorado, not reckless claims by ideologically motivated activist groups," Loper said.

Now that the World Cup is underway in Brazil we thought we would turn out attention to well-known two teams battling at the side of the pitch. In the white strip we have the Canon EOS-1 D X and the Nikon D4S are sporting all black. Read on to see for yourself how these two teams compare and how well they perform when put to the test.
Nikon's mid-term revision to their flagship full-frame D4 series camera includes an updated 16-Mpix CMOS sensor and the new Expeed 4 processor amongst a raft of other, mostly subtle refinements. Read on to find out how the new top-of-the-range model performs.
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.
The EOS 1D X is the new flagship camera announced at the top of Canon's professional range of DSLRs. It will have the difficult task to replace both the sport-specialized, fast 1D series and the studio-oriented, high resolution 1DS series.
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
After months of rumors swirling about, today Canon finally launched its new flagship DSLR: the Canon EOS 1D X. This new camera will replace not just the EOS 1Ds but also all EOS 1D current models... and will bring the APS-H sensor size to an end.

As 2013 kicked off, the IUCN Global Water Programme is gearing up for a year which promises to be filled with great opportunities for promoting and enhancing water's role on the international sustainable development agenda.
As part of this process, a UN-led consultation process 'The World We Want 2015' is taking place. The IUCN Global Water Programme is taking a lead role in the thematic consultation on Water, and in particular for the Sub-stream 'Water for Nature and Nature for Water', taking place this week from 28 January to 1 February.
The objectives of the thematic consultations are to:
• Stimulate a wide range of global discussions on water-related priority issues with citizens, governments, civil society, academia, the private sector, and UN-agencies among others, to be reflected in the future post-2015 goals and targets;
• Analyse and share experiences from the present Millennium Development Goals on water and sanitation, and bring out evidence on progress and drawbacks from the implementation;
• Examine policy options and responses at local, national and international level and how these options might be deployed to inform the post 2015-agenda:
• Foster a shared position/vision on a future goal on water.
One of IUCN's strengths is its extensive network of Members and partners around the world and their expertise in nature-based solutions and water management. As part of the sub-stream consultation on 'Water for Nature and Nature for Water', IUCN joins the international community in calling for contributions and involvement in the process.
We invite everyone to contribute case studies, experiences and recommendations. This is possible through the following channels:

The Smyrna Finance Committee continued work on the 2013 budget in an Oct. 10 meeting.
The committee meeting started with a discussion on a recommendation from the Personnel Committee to bring on two new positions — warehouse clerk and assistant to the town manager — and the reclassification of a fleet mechanic, and water and sewer operator. However, this led to discussion on the actual budget.
Mayor Pat Stombaugh, chairman of the committee, said the proposed budget turned in by Town Manager Dave Hugg is roughly $1.2 million more than last year's $22 million budget.
Then the question was asked if the committee should discuss needs first or if there should be a tax increase. Last year the property tax increased 3.74 cents per $100 of assessed value, bringing the tax rate to 29 cents from 25.26 cents.
Councilman Anthony DeFeo asked if the "needs should dictate a tax increase or if the tax increase should dictate the needs."
Councilman Bob Johnson said the needs should dictate the tax increase: "We know there are certain positions we need, certain projects we need."
Stombaugh countered by asking why the town should have a tax increase at all. Johnson said there doesn't need to be a tax increase, but that would prevent the town from moving forward. DeFeo agreed with Johnson.
"These things are not going to go away. The need will continue to build up," DeFeo said.
The committee finalized the Capital Budget, which features projects over the next five years including project costs and funding sources. Some of the future projects of the town include the new police station, which won't really affect next year's budget, and the utility projects north of Duck Creek and to Commerce Street. The utility projects already have funding in place.
Police Chief Wil Bordley suggested putting together two budgets to present to council, one with a tax increase and one with no tax increase so "they get the big picture."
Stombaugh said she wants to invite council to the last Finance Committee meeting so they [Council] can ask questions then.
The meeting ended after two hours because Stombaugh said the town needs to update the proposed budget before more work can be done. The committee will meet again Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in Town Hall.

The EXTREME glasses derive their name from their extreme contours. The bowls are reminiscent of polished diamonds that spread out wide and taper off at the top. This allows the wine plenty of room to breathe, enhancing and emphasizing the pleasant softness and generally fruity notes of the New World wines.
Frequently asked questions
All current produced items are made of crystal glass and lead free.
For a perfect result:
- Wash under warm water, detergent is not necessary.
- Place on line to drain for the time begin.
- For extra shine, steam over boiling water.
To polish use microfiber polishing cloths: Hold glass by base and polish. Use left hand to cradle the bowl and polish with your right hand. Never twist the base and bowl.
To avoid scratches: Avoid contact with other glass or metal. lf available use a stemware rack.
To avoid stains: Use soft water (low mineral content).
To remove stains: Use white vinegar.
We do not have measurements to offer on each glass in regards to the thinness of the lip, but all RIEDEL glasses are beautiful thin blown crystal. Our rims are "cut", which allows the wine to flow smoothly onto the tongue vs. being "rolled" which obstructs the smooth flow of the wine which accentuates acidity and harshness.

Food & Drink[edit]
I've added a bunch of stuff and reorganized part of the Drink section, putting in a British pub section. Jfnasati 23:27, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
Westin Miyako Hotel[edit]
At a mere 116 years, is this really the oldest hotel in Kyoto? I thought I saw older ones. Gorilla Jones 00:52, 1 March 2007 (EST)
Wondering if it might be appropriate to move toward district sub-pages for Kyoto, as is done for cities like Sydney and Tokyo. While perhaps not as dramatically distinct as Tokyo/Akahibara and Tokyo/Ueno, there's so much ground between Kyoto/Station Area (or Central), Kyoto/Northwest, and Kyoto/Arashiyama - and so much to do in each - that it seems worth separating them out to me. (If nothing else, it would help a traveler decide where to base themselves.) Obviously, I'd be willing to help fill the resulting sub-pages. Gorilla Jones 03:12, 11 February 2007 (EST)
Defining Districts[edit]
Even though there seems to be no firm consensus on the matter of splitting up Kyoto, I think we should at least start work on defining districts and setting up a hierarchy. (In any case, we're probably all/mostly agreed on the need for districting; the remaining point of contention is whether we should start now or wait until more information is added to certain sections.) Once the borders are laid, shifting entries off to district sub-pages should be a manageable task.
I propose that we start by defining Central Kyoto, and then use that as a reference point for the other districts. My suggestion is to use the Kamo River as the eastern boundary and the Kyoto Station area as the southern boundary for Central Kyoto; perhaps contributors with better local knowledge can propose the northern and western lines. --Diego de Manila 21:02, 22 May 2009 (EDT)
I agree with the major proposals put forward so far: five-way split, Central + cardinal directions; using the name "Arashiyama" for the western district (and possibly, as Gorilla Jones suggests, using distinctive names for the others as well); limiting the number of sub-pages.
Another challenge is deciding where one district ends and another begins. We probably don't need to pin them down to the last street or canal border (that would be too restrictive, and in any case some minor overlaps are probably inevitable); all we need is a system precise enough so that all major attractions fall under one district sub-page or another.
For Central Kyoto, I'll reiterate my earlier suggestion: eastern boundary = Kamo River; southern boundary = Kyoto Station area (not necessarily the station itself, more like the immediate neighbourhood). Any recommendations for the northern and western boundaries?
Once we've got Central pinned down, we can use that as a guide for the other districts. --Diego de Manila 20:14, 23 May 2009 (EDT)
I've suggested Kyoto as a collaboration of the month, as we seem to have a fair amount of interest in this. --Stefan (sertmann) Talk 09:47, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
Let's start working on the boundaries for Eastern Kyoto. In all likelihood, the western boundary will be Kamo-gawa (consistent with Central Kyoto's eastern boundary). Any suggestions for the northern and southern borders? Please feel free to reiterate any comments/proposals you may have already made, especially if they've gotten buried somewhere in our main discussions on Central Kyoto. --Diego de Manila 22:25, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
Now that the district boundaries of Central Kyoto are more or less agreed, perhaps we can start work on setting up a district sub-page for that area and moving entries off the main city page. My view is that transferring information for even just this district can already lead to an improvement in the usability of the main city page by reducing the amount of text that users need to process in one go. We can highlight the ongoing districtification effort by adding a new Districts section, and we can insert temporary redirect boxes in each section alerting users to the fact that information relevant to Central Kyoto has been transferred to a different page (as well as advising them to put fresh contributions in the appropriate page). --Diego de Manila 07:26, 7 June 2009 (EDT)
For the border between Western Kyoto and Southern Kyoto: Based on ChubbyWimbus' recommendation from 03 June ("I don't have a map that shows the streets that separate Arashiyama from the Matsuo area. Wherever that is, that's where the border should be."), we can use Shijō-dōri as far as Katsura-gawa, and then just keep projecting it westwards as a straight imaginary line. This puts Matsunoo-taisha just within Southern territory. Alternatively, we can push the border a little further south, to Gojō-dōri - but this would put some of the Matsuo area (including Matsunoo-taisha) in the West.
Incidentally, we seem to be nearing the end of our district definition project! Once we've fixed West and East, that's pretty much it. North and South are simply everything that fall outside Western, Central and Eastern Kyoto so defining their boundaries (apart from establishing the outer city limits for the Kyoto article as whole) probably isn't a mission-critical task. --Diego de Manila 21:46, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
I've started a "Districts" subsection on the main city guide. I was logged out for some reason (a technical glitch I've observed from time to time) so it appears as an anonymous contribution. --Diego de Manila 05:40, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Related Changes to the Main City Guide[edit]
Given that the districtification project is just starting to get off the ground, my habit is to leave the original entries in the main Kyoto city guide intact even after I've copied them into the district sub-pages. Now that the sub-pages are linked (via the "Districts" section), is it safe to delete them from the main guide? --Diego de Manila 07:24, 24 June 2009 (EDT)
District Maps[edit]
Many thanks to Sertmann for the great new map (below). I've actually been thinking about what to do re: preparing maps for the new districts. I checked OpenStreetMap for raw material but their Kyoto map, while adequate from a distance, doesn't seem like it's particularly well laid out at close range (half-finished street grid, etc.), so I'm not sure if we can use it as a source. Any ideas on where to get good raw material so we won't have to start from scratch? --Diego de Manila 08:28, 26 June 2009 (EDT)
Roads to Map East/West:
You said you are mapping "parks", so maybe the following is not helpful. If this is the case, feel free to nix it: Sites to *consider* mapping (by area) Arashiyama:
North (West):
North (East):
South (East)
South (West)
Feel free to adjust it as you see fit, since you are creating the map. I assume this list is too long to actually fit everything on the map, but it's probably better to see it and then delete it rather than notice something that should be there that was left out. ChubbyWimbus 16:50, 27 June 2009 (EDT)
Whilst recognising the need for further work on adding details (key sights, major landmarks, etc.), I think we should consider moving the draft map to the main article so that users can have at least a basic idea of where each district is located relative to the others. In any case, I certainly think Sertmann's Kyoto districts map is way better than the one on the Osaka page, even in its unfinished state. --Diego de Manila 06:18, 8 July 2009 (EDT)
Proposed District Boundaries (as tentatively agreed by contributors)[edit]
Note: For ease of reference, please list any proposed borders with at least some community support here. The listed boundaries are not necessarily final. Kindly sign off on changes so that everyone can keep track.

The largest wooden structure[edit]
It is said in the article that "The majestic main hall of Higashi Honganji, said to be the largest wooden structure in the world". However, I thought that Todaiji in Nara is the largest, and actually in the Nara article it is stated that Todaiji would also be the largest. -- 188.8.131.52 05:49, 15 July 2007 (EDT)
uso! the train from osaka to kyoto costs 390 yen, not 540 yen!
Bus number[edit]
Wouldn't it be nice, if the bus number is given for each temple. For example: kiyomizu temple , bus 80,202,206,207
188.8.131.52 05:56, 28 February 2008 (EST)
I didn't write it, but since there have been a couple of recent attempts to soften it, I'm standing up for the intro to this article:
I love Kyoto, but the area around Kyoto Station is butt-ugly. Karasuma is fine, although it's certainly not what visitors have been led to expect from Kyoto. However, hang a right from the station, heading towards the Kamogawa, and there are blocks of rotting, miserable aluminum shacks before you hit your first pretty old machiya. The intro has it right. Gorilla Jones 19:12, 25 March 2009 (EDT)
The image showing the subway and train lines seems to have the Karasuma subway line and Tozai [8] subway line flipped. Not sure how to fix it. 184.108.40.206 17:14, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
Eat and Drink[edit]
I see there are "Eat" and "Drink" listings on some pages... Have they all been transferred from the main page? Are we able to delete the listings or are there some that are still not sorted? ChubbyWimbus 02:10, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
Machiya goes backpacker[edit]
Interesting lodging choice in Kyoto: [9] Might be worth adding? Jpatokal 05:40, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
Buy or Do[edit]
I wanted to add listings for the special once-per-month flee markets held at Toji Temple and Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, but I can't decide whether to make them a "Do" or a "Buy". Suggestions? ChubbyWimbus 21:34, 3 July 2009 (EDT)
This is a similar question to my last post: The Kyoto richshaws are popular and available in at least two regions (Arashiyama and Higashiyama). In a country like India, richshaws are definitely a "Get around" thing, but in Kyoto it seems to be a "Do" thing. Is there a rule on this? What do others think? ChubbyWimbus 20:20, 7 July 2009 (EDT)
Uncategorized Bars[edit]
The following are bar listings on the main page that I was unable to locate. If you know that they still exist and where they are, please place them in the correct district and add information:
Near the Sanjo end, keep an eye out for Pretty Space, also known as "Mushroom Bar", and be sure to compliment the owner on committing to the theme with his haircut.
Nearby is a cafe owned by the photographer Kai Fusayoshi, who created the book "Beautiful Women of Kyoto." It's called Hachimonjia. Lots of interesting people, from artisans to doctors to people who you can't exactly figure out show up. On Kawaramachi, go north until you see the huge red ball. Look up, and on the third floor, above a blues bar, you'll see a sign for it, although it's in kanji.
Another excellent, and quite hard-to-find, izakaya is Ichariba. It is on the second alley between Kiyamachi and Pontochiyo if you come from Pontochiyo's north end. They serve excellent food for the price and the drinks are good too.
Holidays & Festivals[edit]
There should definitely be a sub-category for holidays and festivals, but where should it go? Also, how many should be placed there? Should there be mention of them in each district section? ChubbyWimbus 18:21, 20 July 2009 (EDT)
Collaboration Tasks[edit]
The following task was only partially completed during the collaboration, so anyone looking to improve the page should consider these: Meaningful descriptions for local delicacies in "Eat", clean up "Buy" section, more information in "Drink" section, proofread "Do" and "See" sections (maybe add to them) ChubbyWimbus 01:06, 1 August 2009 (EDT)
