Proposed $2 Billion Master Plan Unveiled for Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

Crain's Cleveland Business – The proposed $2 billion master plan to overhaul Cleveland International Hopkins Airport would create a larger terminal, four new concourses, more public parking and a direct connection from Interstate 71 into the facility.
The new plans take into account the major changes in air travel over the past few decades, according to Robert Kennedy, director of port control at the Cleveland Airport System.
"The core part of our facilities were designed and built when propeller aircraft was the dominant aircraft in the air, and things have changed significantly since," he said. "The dominant aircraft size at this airport was a 76-seater. Our average size today is 112 seats, with some carriers running exclusively 220-passenger aircraft."
Kennedy unveiled the Cleveland Airport Master Plan update to members of Cleveland City Council's Transportation Committee on Wednesday, May 19. The plan is scheduled to be presented in a virtual public meeting on Wednesday evening.
The master plan, which has been in the works since Mayor Frank Jackson requested the study in October 2019, would be massive, with a renovation of about 30% of the airport and new construction covering the remaining 70%, Kennedy said.
The new plan aims to reduce wait times outside the airport by adjusting curb configuration. It suggests adding 4,000 more walkable public parking spaces; expanding by 600 the number of rental car spaces; and making improvements in public transit accessibility.
It also addresses the need for expanded space for ticketing, baggage inspection, security screening checkpoints, gates and gate waiting areas.
Kennedy said six initial plan options were reduced to two before officials settled on the final proposal. The plan creates more terminal space while allowing the airport to remain open during construction. It also requires lower maintenance and replacement costs over time and provides more "opportunities for non-aeronautical revenue and concession improvements," he said.
Referring to the existing terminal as a "pre-9/11 design," Kennedy spoke of the need to reconfigure the land around the terminal, which includes dropoff, parking and car rental areas that were designed and built when the airports saw fewer travelers.
Demand has been exceeding capacity for both the terminal and property around the airport, and the new plan identifies potential options for deferring projects if financially necessary, Kennedy said.
For those driving to and from the airport, the plan would increase the distance between the airport entrance and terminal, eliminate traffic signals coming into the airport, and revise the interchange, creating a direct connection from Interstate 71 while eliminating airport traffic on state Route 237.
"Approximately 95% of the airports in the country, similar in size to ours or larger, have a configuration like this where they have a direct connection to a major interstate," Kennedy said. "We are in that 5% group that are tied into more of a state or local route."
The overall cost of the project, including a 20% margin of error, is about $2.06 billion — $780.2 million for the first phase and $853 million and $435.1 million for follow-up phases.
The cost of the master plan would be paid for by airport revenue, bonds and, if available, federal grants, Kennedy said.
"It is not reliant upon tax revenues from the local municipality," he said.
The plan involves trigger levels based on airport capacity rather than calendar deadlines to guide the multistage redevelopment. The planning activity levels, or PALs, are based on total passenger numbers reaching 13.5 million annually.
In 2019, more than 10 million passengers traveled through Hopkins, but that figure plummeted by 40% by the end of 2020, said Dennis Kramer, chief of planning and engineering. However, he said, Hopkins now is seeing increases in travel at a higher rate than the national average.
"Cleveland is recovering at about 57% and the national average is recovering at about 51%," Kramer said. "In our last seven days, we have averaged over 20,000 guests through the doors, and we are forecasting over 2 million people will come through this summer."
The airport master plan next requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. It's a process that can take up to six months, Kennedy said.

I can almost imagine the Royal Chef walking into dining room of the Royal Court and presenting this dish with much fanfare and pride at the feast table to his Emperor and standing back with a dedicated and graceful bow waiting for his Emperor's approval.
He gets his approval from the sparkling brightness of his Emperor's eyes, the joy he must have experienced when the flavors burst in his mouth, each distinct one vying for attention, the satiation he would feel after he finished his feast, after all he is the Royal Cook, he ought to know.
If you want a dish to shine like a gem at your feast table, then look no further as this is the one. You may be forgotten but this dish that you serve will be not be forgotten and you will be spoken for in the times to come. This dish has never failed to bring me accolades among my family members and friends each time I make it.
The gravy is so creamy and rich and would make your guests keep coming back for more. Beware of this one as it is loaded with CALORIES and after consuming it, you might actually consider going on a fast for at least a week.
I actually made this for 20 odd guests when we invited a newly weds and some of our relatives for dinner at our home last week. I reserve this for special occasions as it needs more time and patience. Of course I can always cheat and take a short cut for making this one often but I feel that it would be a big insult to the Royal Cook who handed us down this recipe.
I'm giving below the recipe with the quantities reduced to serve fewer people.
Soak cashew nuts and almonds in some hot water and peel off the skin of the almonds. Grind both these together and keep aside.
Soak Walnuts/ Akhroot in some hot water and grind to a paste and keep aside.
Soak Dry whole red chillies in hot water. Grind to a fine paste and keep aside.
Grind together garlic and ginger to a fine paste and keep aside.
Blanch and puree the tomatoes and keep aside.
Sauté the onions in 2-3 tsp of butter. When cool grind to a paste and keep aside.
Chop the vegetables to equal bite sized pieces and steam for 5 min. I microwaved it for 2 min.
In a big bowl Whisk together 1-1/2 cups of curd/yogurt, red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, walnut/ akhroot paste, saffron strands, half the amount of cashew-badam paste and salt together. Add the steamed vegetables and cubed paneer and toss well. The vegetables should be well coated with the curd mixture. Let it rest for an hour.
Heat a kadai with 25 gms of butter. Add the marinated vegetables along with the liquid and sauté for 2-3 min and simmer for another 5 min and keep aside.
In another kadai heat the remaining butter and oil together. Temper with whole spices like shahjeera, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and bay leaf. Roast till the aroma arises. Now add the finely ground onion paste and keep sautéing till becomes deep brown color over low flame. It would have absorbed all the fat.
Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for 2 more min. Now add the finely ground Red chilli paste. Sauté till the raw smell disappears and it gets cooked. This should take 5 min.
Now add coriander powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and saute for a min. Add the pureed tomatoes and salt and bring it to a bubbling boil over medium flame.
Add the remaining curd, remaining cashew-badam paste and bring it again to a boil. Add the sautéed vegetables and paneer, required amount of water and cook covered till the vegetables are cooked completely.
Finally add in the cream, mix well and sprinkle crushed kasuri methi and switch off stove. Keep it covered for 5 min for the kasuri methi flavor to get imbibed well.
Serve hot with any Indian Bread. I paired it with Butter Naans.
You can remove the seeds of the red chillies before grinding.
Do not let the vegetables rest for more time at room temperature as they may taste sour. You can marinade in advance and store in the fridge.
If you do not have saffron feel free to use red food color instead.

Review ARTFORUM by Arielle Bier
video, neon sculpture, wallpaper, collage
alpha nova & galerie futura is delighted to present a solo exhibition by American artist Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo. Entitled Winner Takes All, the works in the exhibition explore the rarely depicted world of thoroughbred horse racing from myriad angles. These themes are playfully introduced in Sex, Money, Freaks, a video collage that combines footage from the auction block, commercial promotions for horse breeding, mainstream television documentaries, and irreverent quotations from The Simpsons to deconstruct the consumer side of the grooming and horseracing enterprise catering to the mega-rich.
The center piece of the exhibition is the 22 minute length video Labor of Love with an original musical score composed by Tami T, in which D'Angelo dissects the freelance labor conditions of professional horseracing through an endearing series of portraits of several German-based international jockeys. From the side of the tracks, horseracing appears as a sport rooted in pedigree, exclusivity, and elitism; at the opposite end of the spectrum is the reality of the jockeys' existence. Many of them come from immigrant backgrounds, and sacrifice family life, health, safety, and material comfort in their dedication to the sport they love. While their voices are rarely heard in the mainstream sports world, the jockeys in D'Angelo's work speak freely and openly about the pressures and dangers of their everyday lives and careers, which are held to a delicate precipice and impending expiration date owing to such factors as body weight, age, and injury.
Another video work, And What About Go for Wand?, re-creates in agonizing detail a true story, when a champion thoroughbred suffered a fatal injury in the midst of a race on live television on 27 October 1990. With a voice-over re-creating that day's events from the perspective of the jockey, And What About Go for Wand? is a painful and visceral examination of life-and-death in the world of competitive horseracing.
The themes in these video works are further elaborated and explored in a series of works on paper, C-prints, installations, and a neon piece. Collectively, the works comprising Winner Takes All form a probing interrogation of the intersection between neoliberalism and the world of sports, with stunning implicit parallels to the contemporary art market, and serve as a provocative defining statement from one of Berlin's premier emerging artists.

Christa Joo Hyun D'Angelo is an American artist based in Berlin. She attended the Maryland Institute College of Art and later the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow Poland where she later obtained her BFA. Over the last few years D'Angelo's work has evolved into a more research based art practice that encompasses political issues concerning the politics of representations regarding class, race, sexuality and gender paradigms that exist within our shared media landscape. Her work attempts to reconstruct conventional modes of identification, while rejecting the restrictive categories of identity in order to adopt a more plural way of experiencing race, gender and sexual relationships. D'Angelo's work has been featured in Art in America, The Huffington Post, Artforum and she has exhibited in Volta Artfair, Galerie Suvi Lehtinen, September Gallery, and was the 2014 studio grant holder from District Berlin.

Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by firefox9, Jul 29, 2006.
I'm having a problem with my pc. Everytime I click on an icon on the Desktop or try to copy/move files and folders from the Explorer file browser, Explorer.exe keeps freezing. 2 instances of Dr Watson (drwtsn32.exe) show up in the Task Manager when Explorer.exe freezes and when I terminate them, Explorer.exe crashes and then restarts itself and the problem disappears until next time. Other applications I have running while explorer.exe if frozen works OK so it isn't the entire computer that's freezing, just explorer.exe . I've been looking for solutions via Google and I found a Windows XP hotfix might be to blame (KB908531) http://ufies.org/archives/001815.html . I Uninstalled the hotfix and the problem was fixed, but It started happening again. I have Windows Auto Updates turned off and I didn't install any updates since then. Here is what appears in the Dr. Watson log file.
I've checked Task Manager and there's nothing unusual running or any new processes I don't recognize. I have Windows XP SP2. Thanks in advance.
From what I have read, the MS update is in conflict with certain installed software.
But the fix does seem to need of some registry expertise to accomplish it.
I don't see Verclsid.exe running in the Task Manager nor do i have any of the software listed on that page installed on my system so I not sure if that might help.

Crawling up his way from the unfriendly neighborhood of Metropolis's Suicide Slum to a successful inventor to the billionaire businessman to the President of United States, Alexander Joseph Luthor is the most powerful man on Earth. He developed an enmity towards Superman, as he worked very hard to reach on top of fame and power but the alien from Krypton got it for free.
Apparently, he used a clone to blame for all of his crimes in early days as well as fooling Supergirl. Apart from antagonizing the Man of Steel, Luthor picked a fight with Bruce Wayne/Batman during the crisis of No Man's Land and then he tried to frame him by hiring David Cain (Bruce Wayne – Fugitive). Luthor struck a deal with Darkseid in the time of Imperiex War by delivering Doomsday.
Luthor was always aware about Superman's secret identity but remained silent as it may harm Lois Lane, the only woman he cares for but Manchester Black erased this knowledge from his memory (Ending Battle). He grew extremely arrogant about his adversary and blamed Superman for an oncoming Kryptonite meteor (Public Enemies).
His Earth-Three counterpart was responsible for Infinite Crisis but ended up getting killed by The Joker. He tried to frame his doppelganger for his previous crimes and to get away with the Everyman Project, which also failed (52). Along with many other villains Lex was transported to a prison planet before Final Crisis (Salvation Run). Upon the rise of New Krypton, Luthor accessed the knowledge of Brainiac.
For more information on Lex Luthor comics series, you can check out these links below.
Here is your links to buy "Lex Luthor" comics from DC Comics on Amazon.
Superman – Up, Up and Away!
Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (also the creator of Superman), Alexander "Lex" Luthor was introduced as an evil genius arch nemesis for Superman who debuted in 1940, on the pages of Action Comics issue #23. Throughout the years of publication Lex Luthor created and was part of several super-villain team such as Injustice League, Injustice Gang, Superman Revenge Squad, Secret Six, Intergang, Secret Society and in The New 52 timeline he was even a part of Justice League. Luthor's origin in DC Comics and first encounter with the Man of Steel was revised several times in modern era on All Star Superman, Superman – Birthright and Superman – Secret Origin limited series.
Lex Luthor's back-story went through a reboot along with the whole New Earth continuity after "Flashpoint". The character was adapted into animation TV series like Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, The Batman, Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Young Justice), live-action TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Smallville and Supergirl as well as live-action films. The most recent portrayal of the character was by actor Jesse Eisenberg in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.


Like the poem, parts of the movie are graphic — I'll warn you. But much like what the poem's supporters argued during the fracas that ensued following the poem's publication, the "obscene" words and images in the movie are not used to be lewd and sensational but to describe how Ginsberg saw the 1950s society he was a part of.
The part that particularly grabbed me was defense attorney Jake Ehrlich's closing argument about free speech as shown in the film. Jon Hamm played Ehrlich in the movie.
As the movie's makers explained at the beginning of the film, every word in the movie was spoken by the people in the film, but I have not yet been able to independently verify that the closing arguments are whole and accurate.
It is not for us to choose the words. Mr. Ginsberg, in telling his story, is telling the story as he sees it. He is using his words. There are books that have the power to change men's minds and call attention to situations that are visible but unseen.
Now whether "Howl" is or is not obscene is of little importance to our world, faced as it is with the threat of physical survival, but the problem of what is legally permissible in the description of physical acts or feelings in arts and literature is of the greatest importance to a free society.
What is "prurient"? And to whom? The material so described is dangerous to some unspecified, susceptible reader. It is interesting that the person applying such standards of censorship rarely feels as if their own physical or moral health is in jeopardy.
The desire to censor is not limited, however, to crackpots and bigots. There is in most of us, a desire to make the world conform to our own views. And it takes all of the force of our own reason as well as our legal institutions to defy so human an urge. The battle of censorship will not be finally settled by Your Honor's decision, but you will either add to liberal, educated thinking, or by your decision, you will add fuel to the fire of ignorance.
Let there be light. Let there be honesty. Let there be no running from non-existent destroyers of morals. Let there be honest understanding.
I enjoyed the debate about free speech in this movie even more than the segments retelling Ginsberg's poem, though those were moving too.
But since the thrust of the movie is about Ginsberg and his work, I'm ending this post with a clip of Ginsberg performing his poem "Father Death Blues," which is included at the end of the movie during the epilogue.
Like many parts of the film, this also took me delightfully by surprise.


It's my understanding that this LB view thing is some cheat that allows the pilot to turn completely around in their seat.
I won't make any specific coment to the "fairness" of having the ability to do this, but I will say that Linda Blair is Wonder Woman, and the Real Linda Blair view is the "no Cockpit" view.
Here it speaks of one in a modern day A/C.
Check Page 6 in this PDF for P-51.
Linda Carter is wonder woman.
BTW - I wouldn't use it....seems kind of weak, but I don't fly without the cockpit either.
Now really, what is so cheatin about this view? If it would let me look what is BEHIND the seat, armor plate or whatever view obstruction there is, then it would be a cheat.
But, what is so hard to make the FOV as wide as possible and look behind you? It let's you see the rudder also. It has been a great help for me in online servers so far.
This LB view is just a storm in a glass of water.
Actually, the whole track-ir thingie ain't such a cheat at all. Of course you can adjust its sensitivity but, when you want to look elsewhere out of your cockpit, you still have to move your head but yet, your monitor stays in place so, you'll have to look out of the corner of your eyes to see anything at all!
Anybody who doesn't think using the LB view has an advantage is only kidding themselves.
- advantage is only kidding themselves.

Ladies, Halloween may be past, but you can be prepared for your next costuming occasion with the Sexy PhD ensemble. Be sure to read the product reviews.
Three researchers at Dartmouth and Stanford were in a spot of trouble this week thanks to a mailer they sent to voters in California, Montana, and New Hampshire. Using official state seals, they sent information about the political beliefs of various state candidates in an attempt to see whether such information would alter how residents voted. Not only are the presidents of both institutions sending formal apology letters, but the matter has raised questions about institutional review board approval and ethics in political science research.
Can myths about neurology be harmful, particularly among educators? Some think so.
A "flawless" (according to her superintendent) educator is suing state officials after being labeled as "ineffective" by an evaluation method known as value-added modeling.
A former band member at Florida A&M has been found guilty of manslaughter in the 2011 hazing death of a drum major aboard a bus.
Yale School of Medicine's handling of a sexual harassment case involving the chief of cardiology has raised questions about the climate for women there and the lack of transparency regarding how such problems are dealt with.
Attorneys for 7,600 teachers who lost their jobs after Hurricane Katrina will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court following a Louisiana Supreme Court decision that overturned trial and appeals court rulings. The issues at hand involve teacher tenure rules, a state takeover, and a wholesale move to charter schools.

MUNDFORD produced a top-class performance to thrash basement boys Swaffham Town Reserves.
The 6-0 win inches them ever closer to promotion from Division Three, with the next crucial game on Saturday at Thorpe Rovers.
After the previous week's encouraging win against a strong Sprowston Athletic, Mundford actually started this game relatively poorly with Swaffham forcing some early pressure through a number of set-pieces.
With little happening it was Barnes who sparked the game into life after around 20 minutes, cutting in on his right foot and striking from 20 yards, giving the keeper no chance.
This was soon followed by the second goal for Mundford. Another good corner delivered by Danny Martin and after the initial challenge, it fell to Ramage, who lobbed a header into the top corner.
The two-goal lead gave Mundford the platform to dominate the game and, as opposed to recent games against Aylsham and Loddon Reserves, the team went from strength to strength, playing some superb passing football and creating a number of half chances in the remainder of first half.
At this point Swaffham were offering little threat, to leave Mundford 2-0 up at the interval.
The game was effectively killed off early in the second half when Neil Groves won the ball on the halfway line, feeding Barnes.
His turn and inch-perfect chip was met sweetly first time on the volley by Groves, who had continued his run from the halfway line and the volley dipped nicely and nestled in the top corner, for the goal of the day.
A second for Groves, and his fourth in three games soon followed, dinking the ball over the keeper after being set clear by Ramage.
Not to be outdone, Barnes soon added his second, cutting in from the left before burying his shot in the corner.
Mundford continued to fashion a number of chances and could have had more goals, in truth.
Barnes eventually completed his hat-trick with a tap in after being unselfishly set up by his strike partner Burton.
A fine performance from the team and the title is very much Mundford's to throw away.
However there is still a way to go, with it likely that two wins and a draw in the remaining games would be enough to secure promotion and four wins enough to secure the championship.
Final scoreMundford 6, Swaffham Town Reserves 0.

Binfield completed a fantastic season by securing second place in the Hellenic Premier Division with victory over Reading Town.
The Easter Monday win meant Binfield dropped just five points in 21 games at Hill Farm Lane, giving them the division's best home record by some distance.
Binfield had Ian Davies available again and he came back in to the side to partner Carl Davies up front.
But it was the visitors who started brightly with Ray Spence calling keeper Ash Withers into action early on.
But it was former Reading Town midfielder James Suarez who opened the scoring for the Moles on 15 minutes, when he expertly curled a free-kick around the wall and into the far corner.
Both sides exchanged chances and there could easily have been more goals before Carl Davies made it 2-0 on 35 minutes.
A hopeful high pass was misjudged by full-back Demitrius Lawrence and Davies pounced on the loose ball and fired in an unstoppable volley that beat Graham Sims into the far corner.
Town, feeling aggrieved by decisions going against them, started to pick up cautions, but continued to create opportunites and really should have gone in at the break with a goal to their name.
Instead, they were to face the final 45 minutes two goals and a man down after Spence let his frustrations get the better of him and was shown his marching orders.
Town still fought hard in thesecond half, with a Mike Hancock header the closest they came to reducing the deficit, while Carl Davies went agonisingly close to making it 3-0 shortly after the restart.
So Binfield completed the win and it is a superb achievement for Mark Tallentire and his talented team to finish the season in the club's highest ever position in the football pyramid.
"The highlight of the season for me has to be our home form," said Tallentire.
"Just one defeat all season and making this place our fortress was one of our main goals and we're all very proud of that.


A merry Christmas to all and a healthy new year.
Thanks Michael and SM staff!
Happy new year Michael to you, all your crazy fellows and the guys around here!! I wish many so successful projects in the future!

Coinbase CEO Claims Non-Custodial Wallet Regulation is Bad for DeFi
In response to rumors over potential new crypto regulations in the United States, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has stated why this could be bad for the industry, especially decentralized finance (DeFi) which thrives on openness.
In a lengthy tweet, the Coinbase boss has responded to Steve Mnuchin's plans to rush out new regulations regarding self-hosted crypto wallets before the end of his term.
The proposed regulations would require financial institutions and crypto exchanges to verify the recipient and owner of self-hosted or non-custodial wallets.
In doing so, they would collect identifying information on that party, before a withdrawal could be sent to it. It's a form of KYC (know your customer) for decentralized wallets that would make them, well, not decentralized.
Last week we heard rumors that the U.S. Treasury and Secretary Mnuchin were planning to rush out some new regulation regarding self-hosted crypto wallets before the end of his term. I'm concerned that this would have unintended side effects, and wanted to share those concerns.
— Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) November 25, 2020
Detriment to DeFi
Non-custodial wallets are a key element of the DeFi ecosystem because they allow anyone, anywhere to use this new technology to access basic financial services. Armstrong added that the open nature of crypto and DeFi powers innovation and 'levels the playing field globally:'
"It is what is fueling innovation, such as in Defi. It has the potential to bring down the cost of financial services, and improve accessibility."
He stated that new identity tracking regulations would be impractical and a bad idea for a number of reasons.
In the case of DeFi, many crypto users and yield farmers send assets to smart contracts so they can use dApps in the ecosystem. A smart contract is not necessarily owned by any individual or business that could be identified to satisfy these new requirements.
In addition, many people now use crypto to make payments online to various merchants, so their identity would be revealed.
Some users in emerging markets that send or receive crypto may find it difficult to provide the required proof these new rules would demand. Armstrong concluded:
"Finally, many recipients (in the U.S. or abroad) who value their financial privacy, may simply not want to upload more identifying documents to various companies, which could be hacked or stolen."
Coinbase: Walling Off the U.S. a Financial Risk
He stated that this would reduce the number of transactions between non-custodial wallets and crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase which recently halted margin trading, effectively eating into its profits.
It would also put a wall around the U.S., cutting off access to the innovation happening elsewhere. Armstrong added, "I believe this would put America's status as a financial hub at risk."
Some hope the new Biden administration would be more open to the crypto industry and its drive for financial innovation. There has been no further confirmation as to when these regulations would come into effect.

FORT WORTH, TX--(Marketwire - Oct 31, 2012) - Trinity Bank, N.A. (OTCBB: TYBT) today announced operating results for the third quarter and the nine months ending September 30, 2012.
For the third quarter of 2012, Trinity Bank, N.A. reported Net Income after Taxes of $651,000, an increase of 12.2% over third quarter 2011 earnings of $580,000. Earnings per diluted common share for the third quarter 2012 amounted to $.57, an increase of 11.8% over third quarter 2011 results of $.51 per diluted common share.
For the first nine months of 2012, Net Income after Taxes was $1,915,000, an increase of 14.2% over the nine month 2011 results of $1,677,000. Earnings per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2012 were $1.69, an increase of 14.2% over 2011 nine months results of $1.48 per diluted common share.
Jeffrey M. Harp, President, stated, "Third quarter results were good. Return on Assets and Return on Equity both remain well above national and local peer group results. During the third quarter of 2012, Trinity incurred its first loan losses -- 3 loans charged off totaling $495,000. We do not feel that this is the beginning of a trend or an indication that our credit underwriting standards need to be strengthened. It is highly unusual for any bank to go more than 9 years without a single loss. On a positive note, we had accumulated enough reserves to take the losses without significantly affecting current income."
Also from a positive perspective, on October 9th, Trinity Bank declared a $.20 regular dividend and a $1.00 special dividend payable November 15, 2012 to shareholders of record on October 31, 2012.
Harp reported, "We are pleased to provide a tangible return to our shareholders at a time when tax rates are probably at an all-time low. After the dividend, our Capital ratio remains strong, and we are in a position to take advantage of any opportunities that become available to increase shareholder value."

True, so far we have not had much cold or snow, thanks to El Nino.
But we still have the coldest months of the season – January and February – to look forward to.
One of The Ear's winter rituals is to listen to the song cycle "Winterreise" – winter journey – by Franz Schubert (below) on or around the first day of winter.
It is such a unique and astonishing work, so modern in so many ways.
And there are so many outstanding recorded versions of it that The Ear likes: Mark Padmore with pianist Paul Lewis; Matthias Goerner with Christoph Eschenbach; Thomas Quasthoff with Charles Spencer; Peter Schreier with Sviatolsav Richter; Hermann Prey and Karl Engel; and of course the legendary Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau with Gerald Moore, Joerg Demus and later with Alfred Brendel.
But probably The Ear's favorite version of the amazing cycle so far is the one done by British tenor Ian Bostridge with Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes. The Ear prefers the higher tenor range to the baritone range. He also likes not only Bostridge's transparent sound and outstanding diction, but also his kind of singing speech style — Sprachstimme – that adds to the storytelling of the cycle.
The complete 70-minute cycle is available from YouTube but only by going through the 24 different videos, one per song in the cycle.
And there is a preface that features both Bostridge and Andsnes talking about the work and about performing it.
By the way, an excellent companion to the cycle is the book and e-book that Bostridge has published –- a doctoral thesis called "Schubert's Winter Journey" Anatomy of an Obsession" (Knopf).
It is a comprehensive look at the aesthetic, historical, cultural and the literary aspects of the astonishing work and analyzes each of the 24 songs in the cycle. The Ear has read it and highly recommends this definitive study by someone who knows the famous song cycle inside and out after performing it more than 100 times.
The Ear urges you to sample many more, in order or out of order.
Let The Ear and other readers know which performers you prefer and which songs in the cycle are your favorite?

Here we go: Boehner won't rule out vote to raise the debt ceiling before stepping down as Speaker
AllahpunditPosted at 2:41 pm on September 29, 2015
Next month he settles all family business.
And there's nothing much we can do.
Outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday wouldn't rule out a vote to raise the nation's borrowing limit before he quits Congress at the end of October…
"We'll have to see. There's a number of issues we're gonna have to try to deal with over the coming month, but I'm not going to change my decision making process in any way," Boehner told reporters when asked about the debt limit.
"It's just a matter of if there is a way to get some things done so I don't burden my successor, I'm gonna get it done," added Boehner with his likely successor, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), standing nearby.
He's got carte blanche for the next 30 days to pass whatever he wants to pass, whether it requires Democratic votes or not. In which case, why not help out his pal Kevin McCarthy by sparing him a bruising debt-ceiling fight this winter in his first few months as Speaker and taking it off the table? House conservatives will be itching to find fault with McCarthy over the next year so that they can accuse him of being a weak-kneed mini-Boehner when the next election for Speaker happens in 2017. Boehner can help McCarthy beat back that challenge by bringing as many tough bills to the floor as he can manage now and passing them with a coalition of Democrats and centrist Republicans. That'll make life difficult for Mitch McConnell, but so what? Mitch McConnell made life very difficult for Boehner, and since McConnell's top priority before the election is showing that the GOP can govern without brinksmanship over the debt limit or funding the government, he'll go along with Boehner however reluctantly.
Kevin McCarthy will scream and cry about this grand sellout of conservative leverage, of course, because that's what this particular script calls for. Via Erick Erickson, it's failure theater, Speaker edition:
But Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) needs House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to do it. They are engaging in a game of "all powerful Speaker," where Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) can claim "deep regret" that the Speaker has advanced the left's agenda on the way out the door. But take a gander at this Congressional Research Service report on the role of the House Majority Leader, which is McCarthy's present position.
"From an institutional perspective, the majority leader has a number of duties. Scheduling floor business is a prime responsibility of the majority leader. Although scheduling the House's business is a collective activity of the majority party, the majority leader has a large say in shaping the chamber's overall agenda and in determining when, whether, how, or in what order legislation is taken up."…
If the Export-Import Bank gets reauthorized, if Planned Parenthood gets funded, and if the government continues to grow it will be because Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) turned a blind eye and got the legislation to the floor of the House where Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) could then rely on Democrat votes.
What could House conservatives do to stop a debt-ceiling hike before Boehner leaves? One obvious possibility is to threaten McCarthy by warning him that they'll block his election as Speaker if this happens, but who knows if they have the votes to deny him 218 or if anyone who's acceptable to conservatives could possibly muster 218 as an alternative. Another possibility would be to try to nuke Boehner before he formally resigns by pursuing Mark Meadows's resolution to remove him, but I'm skeptical that they'd get the critical mass they need to boot Boehner in the ass when he already has one foot out the door. He's well-liked personally; even people who disagree with him on the debt ceiling will be reluctant to humiliate him in his last days as Speaker. Besides, there'd be nothing stopping Boehner from simply asking House Democrats to give him the votes he needs to stay in power over the next few weeks and make the deals Democrats have been looking for all along.
The one real potential monkey wrench in the great debt-ceiling sellout is Pelosi, depending upon how much pain she wants to extract from House Republicans generally and Kevin McCarthy in particular. If Boehner brings a clean debt-ceiling hike to the floor, she could have her caucus vote no or present, forcing the GOP to get to 218 by themselves. They'd fail, which would mean Speaker McCarthy would have to come back to the debt ceiling this fall, which in turn would mean he'd need to come crawling to Pelosi later with concessions once House conservatives inevitably decide they won't vote for a debt-ceiling hike then either. The choice for Pelosi, then, is whether she thinks it's more important for the good of the country to get the debt ceiling off the table ASAP or if she wants to flirt with a technical default by forcing McCarthy to take this up less than a year away from a presidential election, with a potentially disastrous voter backlash to the GOP in the offing if there's a standoff and Treasury ends up hitting the ceiling. We'll see.

Lack of new Apple display pointing to iTV?
An Apple television set has been on the wishlist for many company enthusiasts for some time. It is a rumor that pops up before every Apple press event but continues to be left on the cutting room floor.
According to a recent article from Investor's Business Daily, an Apple television could be on the horizon and the proof is in what the company hasn't done. The piece points to the new, highly redesigned Mac Pro as the evidence.
One of the major features of the new powerhouse computer is the ability to edit ultra-high definition 4K video. However, Apple does not offer a 4K display to actually view this on. On top of that, the company last updated its line-up in July of 2011 when the 27-inch Thunderbolt Display was introduced.
A monitor is required for a Mac Pro to be used in a Mac integration. For Apple not to release one that can optimize the system is like an automobile manufacturer putting out a car that doesn't have tires.
Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, told the news source that the lack of a 4K monitor from Apple is "quite curious."
"It's pretty obvious that (a 4K display) would be something that they would do," Munster told the news source. "Apple historically has gotten sizable profit margins on its monitors. There's something bigger going on because Apple wouldn't want to miss out on profits from selling new computer monitors."
Could this mean a new breed of displays and the iTV are finally arriving? Only time will tell.

Q: How to export WDPA dataset to text and shapefiles? Please have some patience with me as I am not a GIS professional at all, I am merely trying to work with some of the file formats. Let me first explain what I am trying to accomplish:
The WDPA (World Database of Protected Areas) is, as the name says, an attempt to map all protected areas in the world, with an emphasis on biodiversity. Their work can be seen here:
http://www.protectedplanet.net/
You can browse all the areas right there on the site, search for them, etc. In addition, they have the following download options of the entire set (right below the search box):

*

*CSV

*KML

*SHP

*ESRI Web Service

This interests me greatly, since I want to integrate these protected areas into my own website, in the following ways:

*

*Using Google maps, per country (so not all at once) show the polygons as overlay on the current Google Maps canvas (I have to stick with Google Maps here, due to other functionality)

*Clicking on an area should show its metadata

*Stretch goal: As my website is about photography, it would be incredible if a geotagged photo could automatically be associated with the protected area in which it was taken

To accomplish the above, I figure I need the following:

*

*I need all textual metadata of all areas on the map in a way so that I can convert it into a format that is suitable for MySQL, the internal database I use. For example, each protected area has a unique ID and a country code, I need that data.

*I need the shape data per protected area (or per country?). This is where I lack knowledge. Either way it needs to be in such a format so that it can be shown on Google Maps, and I need to know to which protected area (or country) it belongs

Some things I tried:
The first 3 download options provided by WDPA all seem the same, not sure if that is a bug on the site or not. I had no idea how to open them but eventually figured out I need ArcGIS and installed a trial version. I still don't know how to export anything in the format I desire though.
The 4th option seems most promising:
http://ec2-54-204-216-109.compute-1.amazonaws.com:6080/arcgis/rest/services/wdpa/wdpa/MapServer
There the entire set is offered via different web services. I tried opening the layer in Google Earth, but it keeps crashing on me, and I read you can't export layers from Google Earth? The other options are not familiar to me but after trying them I see no easy way to get the data I want in the way I want it.
I'm looking for your guidance in this question. This data set is a treasure and I am very excited to try to bring it into my own site, but I'm failing miserably at the first step.

A: If you download the shapefile you will have what is necessasry to get started. The full file (all of the world) is around 2.9GB. The each feature (protected area) has attribute information about name, protected area type (ICUN standard), country code and more.
From here on you can do things two ways:

*

*Use a desktop tool to produce a kml-file which you place on your
server

*Go the whole way uploading the file to a database and access
it from a server based map server

From what I gather the answer you are lookin for is this:

*

*Download the shapefile

*Open it in QGIS. QGIS is an open source tool which will allow you to do most spatial operations. It is definetively an alternative to ArcGIS if you are not intent on spending money on this project.

*Filter it according to your needs

*Add attributes like links to images or lists of images

*Export the result to KML-file.

*a) Place the KML-file on your server and point to it from your
website or
b) upload it to google maps and embed one of those maps
on a web page on your server.

If you at some stage want to make things more complicated you move into MySQL territory. Upload the file using GDAL. FME is at commercial tool which will allow you to input a shapefile to MySQL. If you used PostGIS you could use the SPIT plugin which allows you to upload directly from QGIS.
Once your data is in MySQL you can add a map service using Geoserver, mapserver or others topresent the spatial data. Geoserver will provide data in a lot of formats suitable for inclusion in other systems. KML is one of the outputs.
You can set up your kmz request by following the relevant guidelines. Geoserver will allow filtering using attributes in the data set.
With this I hope we have given you a basic way forward as well as information about how to move to the next level.
