Hi. I've been a Minister of the Word in the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA) since 1995. Pilgrim is my third congregation in that time, having previously served in the Burra District Congregation (S.A.) and Hobart North (Tas). I joined Pilgrim in May 2015.
I'm married with 2 adult children who are now finding their way in the world, which delights me greatly. I'm a lifelong supporter of the North Melbourne Football Club. I like kaleidoscopes, tapirs, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and Monty Python.
I have a 'restless passion' for the Uniting Church in Australia:
passion because I believe strongly in what the UCA stands for as a church of Jesus' followers, and
restless to make sure that we are always open to the raw spontaneity that seems to have been Jesus' way, in the midst of our life as a large organisation.
My approach to my ministry at Pilgrim is to grow the ministry of ALL of our people, so that together we might offer something really important to Launceston in Jesus' name.
I express it like this: Listen….
Listen to our stories of faith
Listen to the stories of the city, the world, the church…
Pay attention to what we're hearing among us and around us,
"… for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Jesus, Mark 1:15 and elsewhere)
Who we are, and whose… Sacrament, Worship, Scripture, Study, Prayer.
Are we different from other community groups? How? What is our heart, identity and purpose?
Hospitality, generosity, sacramental living.
Visiting with": practising hospitality that's mutual, wherever it occurs. "Creating free space where relationships are made and grow, and where change might occur". (Henri Nouwen)
Sharing in the life of the wider church, its missional, pastoral, and administrative life, which are interwoven.
Act. Practising faith and living worship
How what we do on Sunday and on the other six days come together. Maggie's Café is one aspect of this. Another is the many things that people do to enrich the life of the community around them.


In September 2013, Oceanlab, University of Aberdeen, was awarded funding from the European Commission under the Fixed-Point Open Ocean Observatories (FixO3, www.fixo3.eu ) project to integrate the DELOS observatories into the FixO3 network. The FixO3 project seeks to integrate and harmonise the current technological, procedural and e-infrastructure processes of a network of open ocean fixed observatories in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The inclusion of DELOS in FixO3 represents a major contribution of the project to an international programme and will ensure long-term storage of the data.
As the first phase of DELOS continues, many options for the future of the project are being considered, which will guide the development of DELOS over the 25 year life of the project.
The steering committee is evaluating the technical options for future deep-water observatories, including the development of observatories which can provide "live" images and data from the seafloor. A fibre-optic network for oil and gas is scheduled to be installed offshore Angola in 2015. The feasibility of connecting DELOS to the network is being investigated. We believe that the ability to get real-time data from the seafloor would make a major contribution to deep-water biology and education.
As oil and gas exploration spreads into deep-water worldwide, new opportunities for the installation of DELOS observatories will become available. We are currently investigating opportunities for new locations, and will press for the inclusion of observatories as a means to support the informed use of deep-water resources.
Increasing the quality of deep-water data available, and gaining access to a wider range of sites, will make a major contribution to marine science and to our understanding of climate influences on deep-ocean life. As new developments occur we will post news here.
For discussions about the next generation of DELOS, or applications to use the Guest Modules, please contact Dave Bailey or Henry Ruhl.

Congress passes $3.5 trillion budget in the dark
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 8:47 am on April 3, 2009
Congress approved Barack Obama's sweeping new budget late last night, approving a level of spending over 10% more than the final year of the Bush administration despite the economic crisis. The $3.5 trillion budget grew over 2009's $3.1 trillion spending plan, and left almost all of Obama's wish lists intact despite the supposed intervention of Senate Democrat Kent Conrad:
Congressional Democrats overwhelmingly embraced President Obama's ambitious and expensive agenda for the nation yesterday, endorsing a $3.5 trillion spending plan that sets the stage for the president to pursue his most far-reaching priorities.
Voting along party lines, the House and Senate approved budget blueprints that would trim Obama's spending proposals for the fiscal year that begins in October and curtail his plans to cut taxes. The blueprints, however, would permit work to begin on the central goals of Obama's presidency: an expansion of health-care coverage for the uninsured, more money for college loans and a cap-and-trade system to reduce gases that contribute to global warming.
The measures now move to a conference committee where negotiators must resolve differences between the two chambers, a prelude to the more difficult choices that will be required to implement Obama's initiatives. While Democrats back the president's vision for transforming huge sectors of the economy, they remain fiercely divided over the details.
There is no agreement, for example, on how to pay for an overhaul of the health-care system expected to add more than $1 trillion to the budget over the next decade, nor is there consensus on how to spend the hundreds of billions of dollars the government stands to collect by setting limits on greenhouse gas emissions and forcing industry to buy permits to pollute. Those issues will be decided in committees where lawmakers have begun the torturous work on the specifics of Obama's broad plans.
President Obama has lost some Congressional support since Porkulus. The Washington Post doesn't mention this in its report, but Democratic defectors grew from seven in the House to 20 defectors last night. In the Senate, where Democrats won three key Republican votes for Porkulus, they didn't get a single GOP vote. In fact, they lost two Democrats: Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Evan Bayh (D-IN). Bayh had tried to lead a centrist bloc to gain more concessions from Reid, Pelosi, and Obama, but in the end his Gang of 15 seems to have been a duet.
This budget does at least one thing right. Instead of getting separate "emergency" authorizations for war appropriations, the funding for Iraq and Afghanistan are built into the budget. That accounts for $130 billion of the increase over FY2009, and it ends the ridiculous practice of pretending that no one could plan for war resources. The Bush administration should have made that move after the 2003 invasion instead of continuing to use emergency supplementals that became a poltical lightning rod every time it went to Congress for the funding.
Other than that, though, Judd Gregg has this budget analyzed correctly:
"The practical implications of this budget are that we will put in place spending and borrowing which will absolutely put this country on an unsustainable path and WILL create massive problems for us in the out years if it's followed," said ranking Senate Budget Committee member Judd Gregg (R-N.H.).
Even the White House's rosy projections show this to be a disaster. It grows the deficits in every year over the next 12 even under the best of circumstances. In an era where Americans have to tighten their belts and reduce their borrowing in order to shore up their own financial situations, Congress and Obama have shown no such sense of shared sacrifice. Instead, they're busy borrowing like maniacs to pay for their own pet projects. It's a disgrace, and even some Democrats have discovered this.

There are some who say that Mom is a bit of an agressive driver (just to bother her and not because when she picks out cars she gets road hugging performance vehicles, her current one being turbo charged and a favorite of road rally enthusiasts).
Alice is now one of those people. She will call out "woahh!" and "weeee!" as Mom takes curves or brakes. No such sounds are heard when I am driving (which luckily is unfalsifiable by Mom). I think this means we can just send Alice out on long drives with Mom instead of Disney Land.


'DBS': Will Black reach the Super Saiyan Blue Phase with Goku's body?
'DBS': Will Black reach the Super Saiyan Blue Phase with Goku's body? Wikipedia Photos.
As everyone knows, Black is Zamasu with Goku's body, IE Zamasu asked Super Shen Long to change his body with Goku's. With this in mind, many fans come to the conclusion that if Black is Goku, or rather is the body of Goku, then he can also be transformed into Super Saiyan Blue. Below, we clarify the doubts and confusion around this topic.
We know that this transformation happens through the Super Saiyan God or God. This legendary transformation is a myth in the warrior race.
To achieve this powerful phase, the merging of five Saiyans of pure heart is needed, after which they need to choose one of them and light it. That's why Goten, Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan and Videl (through Pan) managed to enlighten Goku, and in that way they achieved this transformation. Goku so far was the only Warrior of this race who was seen using this transformation. It is understood that Vegeta can reach the Blue phase, but we have unfortunately never seen it.
Can Black become a Super Saiyan Blue with Goku's body?
Now, it is true that Black has Goku's body and therefore can be transformed into a Super Saiyan, but his dark heart should keep him from getting the blue phase, which is nothing other than a God transformed into a Super Saiyan.
Black has his own dark transformation, called the Rose transformation, which is basically the same phase, equivalent to Goku, Vegeta and the others Saiyans with yellow hair, with the difference being that in this transformation Black has pink hair.
Black could get some kind of transformation similar to Super Saiyan Blue because the Rose is his ordinary phase. He could overcome it, but will not reach the phase by himself through transformation with blue or light blue. He could not reach this phase, because he doesn't have a pure heart and must first get to the God phase to reach this powerful transformation.
Next, we will show you the progress of chapter 65, with some leaked information about this saga. Enjoy it, and stay tuned.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is in a full on attack mode and pretty much wanting to seek the attention of everyone. Have a look at this bizarre actions!
Mandatory Credit: Photo by IBL/Shutterstock (9887699h) Tekashi 6ix9ine performing in concert at Hovet Tekashi 6ix9ine in concert, Stockholm, Sweden - 19 Sep 2018
Tekashi 6ix9ine is dropping his new melody and says he is allowing his fans to pick the name for the track.
But it might he would eventually go onto name it after his continuous beef with rapper Snoop Dogg.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CAihGlxHl_6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Recently Snoop Dogg has reacted to Tekashi 6ix9ine's alleged attack on his family, and it shows up he notices the rainbow rapper he needs to begin treading carefully!
This comes after Tekashi affirmed that the 'What's My Name' rapper was unfaithful to his better half, and posted an ill-bred comment.
Strikingly, Tekashi may have gotten the word that numerous in the hip-jump world think he went WAY excessively far assaulting Snoop's family.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CATU48lHIIs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Actually, the 'Gooba' rapper evacuated a video he posted before in the day, professing to be evidence of his ill-bred deceiving comments.
Tekashi 6ix9ine and Akon may go knock by a knock in another Instagram Live meeting, and keeping in mind that the matching is far-fetched, numerous fans via web-based networking media are anxious to perceive what this far-fetched pair has available. On May 16, Akon said in his IG story that as a matter of fact Tekashi 6ix9ine moved him to an online fight.
Curiously, Akon and Tekashi 6ix9ine help one another, at any rate digressively. At the point when the Tekashi 6ix9ine fight in court was first declared in the media, Akon came out to safeguard his choice to betray his previous partners in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
Perhaps that is the reason Tekashi moved toward him for a rap fight. Regardless of whether it occurs or not, Tekashi surely realizes how to place his name in the features.
https://twitter.com/DebatingHipHop_/status/1261840391088701440
Tekashi 6ix9ine was put in house capture not long ago in the wake of carrying out the greater part of his jail punishment in a government jail.
Be that as it may, in the wake of mentioning an early discharge from his home, the rapper was shockingly permitted to serve out the remainder of his sentence from the solace of his home, yet with an ankle monitor on, obviously.
In recent times the rainbow rapper has been continuously attacking Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and even Billboard over the fact that his record did not receive the #1 spot on the charts.

Facebook Flaw leaked details of millions of users
Slyvia May 11, 2011 Channel
Millions of users on Facebook will not be pleased to hear that advertisers and other third party organisations had the potential to get unauthorised access to many Facebook user accounts and profile information, due to a software flaw. This information comes from one of the most respected anti virus and anti spyware organisations, Symantec Corp.
According to information released by Symantec, hundreds of thousands of third party applications leaked user account access tokens to advertisers and others across the last couple of years. In April alone, when the flaw was found, 100,000 applications were enabling the leakage.
Symantec say that Facebook had been advised of the flaw and have fixed it, but some of the leaked access codes, called tokens might still be stored on log files or in applications and could be exploited.
Symantec wrote a blog post "Concerned Facebook users can change their Facebook passwords to invalidate leaked access tokens. We estimate that over the years, hundreds of thousands of applications may have inadvertently leaked millions of access tokens to third parties."
Access tokens are like 'spare keys' granted by you to the Facebook application. Applications can use these tokens or keys to perform certain actions on behalf of the user or to access the user's profile. Each token or 'spare key' is associated with a select set of permissions, like reading your wall, accessing your friend's profile, posting to your wall, etc.
Facebook have acknowledged the flaw but have said that no one has exploited it. They said "We've conducted a thorough investigation which revealed no evidence of this issue resulting in a user's private information being shared with unauthorized third parties."
KitGuru says: Hopefully not a sign of things to come for Facebook.

I don't review books. I don't have the temperament for it. But I've made a bit of a promise to myself this year to talk more about books I've read and am reading. I won't mention everything I've read because I won't keep up, but I'll do my best.
On March 12/March 13 (Hawaii/Australia time) Justine Larbalestier and I are going to begin a discussion of women's fiction, old school blockbusters. We begin with Jacqueline Susann's VALLEY OF THE DOLLS.
But I do not like to neglect my first and most heartfelt love, sff. So today, fellow readers, I am going to go full squee on Martha Wells' The Fall of Ile-Rien Trilogy, which consists of 1: THE WIZARD HUNTERS 2: THE SHIPS OF AIR & 3: THE GATE OF GODS.
I really loved Wells' Books of the Raksura, and I'm thrilled that Raksura novellas are forthcoming later this year. But I have to say that I loved Ile-Rien as much and in some ways possibly more (without in any way down-grading my love for the Raksura universe).
Let me talk about why.
I will do my best to not inflict too many spoilers on you but there will be some, and I guarantee there will be spoilers in the comments so fair warning.
1. FoIR is fantasy, with science, with a (spoiler, see note 1 below). I could also describe it as historical science fiction, with wizards. Wells pulls this trick off neatly, and with her usual insouciant flair. Her ability to toss off this kind of difficult juggling act always impresses me. Oh, yes, you may think you are reading a story set in a fantasy version of late 19th century/early 20th century Paris with different names but it is never that simplistic. The setting is shot through with alterations that fit perfectly and then meanwhile so many new vistas are about to open that I can't even begin to tell you about them for fear of babbling incoherently about the world building things I love and adore in this series.
Listen, you know I am hugely picky about world building. I can love a book and series for its characters even if it has a fairly standard or somewhat blandly default world; that's cool. But not that many writers REALLY impress me with their world building. Wells consistently does. She's INCREDIBLE. The combination of memorable characters I want to read about with world building that wows me is the exquisite fictional meal I savor above all else.
2. Everything she does with the Syprians was evidently mainlined from and for all my reading kinks.
This includes a classic example of a marvelous fantasy society that does interesting things with gender roles.
Yet this series is NEVER DISCUSSED when it comes time to talk about fantasy that does interesting things with cultural gender roles. The trilogy was not a huge success; I know many haven't read it (a terrible shame). But every time I see an online conversation or essay about X new novel/writer has *finally* done something interesting with gender/women's experience/what-have-you in fantasy, as if these sorts of explorations weren't being done before, I want to scream. Writers (mostly women) have been doing interesting work with gender roles in sff, with women's work, with sexuality, with varied and diverse characterization, and every time we trot out a new (or old) work as if it is the Exceptional Girl among a raft of Default Man Focus (whether the work is written by a woman or a man), we erase the footprints of this important tradition.
The other thing Wells does really well is to only tell you the cultural details you need to know at the time you need to know them. There is no infodump, there are no long detailed descriptions, and yet I came away with a strong sense of each of the societies encountered within the three books.
It was nine o'clock at night and Tremaine was trying to find a way to kill herself that would bring in a verdict of natural causes in court, when someone banged on the door.
"Oh, damn." A couple of books on poisons slid out of her lap as she struggled out of the overstuffed armchair. She managed to hold on to the second volume of Medical Jurisprudence, closing it over her fingers to mark her place. The search for the elusive untraceable poison was not going well; there were too many ways sorcerer-physicians could uncover such things and she didn't want it to look as if she had been murdered. Intracranial hemorrhage seemed a good possibility, if a little difficult to arrange on one's own. But I'm a Valiarde, I should be able to figure this out, she thought sourly. Dragging the blanket around her, she picked her way through the piles of books to the door. The library at Coldcourt was ideal for this, being large, eclectic and packed with every book, treatise, and monograph on murder and mayhem available to the civilized world.
IMO Wells does a brilliant job with Tremaine's depression. It's real. It affects how she reacts (or doesn't react) to events and individuals as she is plunged into danger. She begins the trilogy with a bit of a flat affect that is entirely realistic. How she changes across the story is part of the story. That Tremaine is also deeply snarky and inappropriate at the wrong times just makes it all better. Also she can stare down almost anyone, and initially that is in large part due to the fact that she has a bit of a death wish and thus doesn't care that she's in danger.
4. Ilias. Okay, I am a sucker for physical men who are competent, level-headed, loyal, brave, well built, and amazingly good fighters. If they also are not assholes and are in fact reasonable, thoughtful people who almost never jump to conclusions, who listen to people and make mature decisions, then it's gold. If they are also best friends with a Chosen One, and not one bit resentful at being the sidekick/bodyguard, and have a bit of an angsty back-story which they don't belabor, it's even better. ALL THE FEELS.
Wells excels at using the culture she has set up to refine and enhance the characterization. People behave within the societal expectations of their culture, or clash against them, or struggle to understand how to negotiate wildly different sets of cultural behaviors.
5. Many characters in this novel appealed greatly to me, large and small. Wells limns them efficiently, lets dialogue and action do most of her work, and consistently uses humor at the right moments. The ways people from different cultures misunderstand each other is believable, and the ways people of good faith cooperate even though they are misunderstanding each other is refreshing. I would say more but I'm trying to write this main review without spoilers. There are in fact many secondary characters and I had no trouble keeping them all straight.
6. THE WIZARD HUNTERS (book one) had a bit of a slow start for me. There was nothing *wrong* with it. Well is always solid. The world(s) and (catastrophic) situation is carefully set up and revealed. It was intriguing enough to interest me. However I got hooked at a very specific place, where the two main storylines meet, somewhere around page 90 in the edition I was reading. It wasn't that I found it boring before that — by no means — but from that point on I couldn't stop reading until I had read all three books. There was, alas, a bit of a delay because I had reserved book 2 from the library and it had to come from another branch. I read book 2 and 3 basically in one weekend. I INHALED them.
So IF book one has a bit of a slow start for you, stick with it. For other readers it won't have a slow start at all. As always, YMMV.
7. I checked out the first two books from the library. However I have had to buy e-versions so I can re-read certain passages OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
There is much more I can say about the book but I will leave that for comments.
If you have read the Fall of Ile-Rien Trilogy, please join up in the comments.
I AM ALLOWING SPOILERS IN COMMENTS.
Note 1 (from above): THIS IS A TECHNICAL SPOILER EVEN THOUGH IT COMES EARLY IN BOOK ONE.
There are days when the work flies through me and I am mighty. There are days when the work is one long slog of dragging weights behind me in the form of recalcitrant, uncooperative words. There are days I sit in despair staring at a wall mottled with self doubt. There are days I write like it is my job, which is not a bad thing when one has (presumably) skill and competence and a love for one's work.
But every day I appreciate YOU, the ones reading my books.
I am grateful that you read them AT ALL. (I'm still kind of amazed by that.) I can work as a writer because you buy my work. I THRILL to the remarkably astute and brilliant analyses you write (& now and then mope sadly to a negative review, although negative reviews can also be useful as a perspective on the work and — as always — any review helps a writer be more visible in a crowded literary world). I adore the fan-art, and while I have to avoid reading fan-fic for legal reasons, I think it's pretty cool that people write it. Did I mention I adore fan-art? And strange as it may seem, I really enjoy "meeting" (so to speak) and interacting with readers on social media. My books aside, I'm a reader too with the same love for reading and I never get tired of talking about books I love.

The Giants gave safety Will Hill so many chances because of his immense talent. But after watching the Ravens' win over the Saints on Monday, they probably wish they gave him one more.
Hill, who served a six-game suspension at the start of the season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, has further solidified his status in Baltimore as one of the NFL's best safeties. Saints tight end Jimmy Graham caught just two of the six passes thrown at him when Hill was in coverage Monday night. Hill played all but two snaps, by far his highest total of the season.
A third pass was picked off by Hill and returned 44 yards for a touchdown, breaking a 17-17 tie in the third quarter.
"I had seen that (Drew) Brees was under duress, and I had Jimmy Graham man-to-man anyway," Hill said, via The Times-Picayune. "So, he looked for his No. 1 guy. He threw it, it was a little behind him. I just took the opportunity."
Hill's awareness might be better than any other safety's in the game right now, which is why the Giants were livid when he failed his third drug test in New Jersey.
Now, though, Hill is away from his home state, a place which many in his close circle believe was the source of many of his problems. If he can be the player he was destined to be without all the distractions, Baltimore is in for a treat.

More Benefits for Vets Next Year?
House appropriators backed White House plans for another big funding boost for the Department of Veterans Affairs next year in their first public budget draft released on Thursday.
A new plan, to be voted on by a House Appropriations subcommittee, asks for $113.1 billion in discretionary spending for VA programs in fiscal 2022.
That's an increase of about 8% from current levels and about $176 million more than what President Biden asked for in his budget proposal released last month.
Military Times' recent article entitled "House lawmakers back big budget boost for Veterans Affairs programs" says that if it were approved, the proposal would result in total department spending of more than $270 billion in 2022.
"This bill demonstrates a strong commitment to our servicemembers, their families and our veterans," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., in a statement accompanying the budget proposal release.
"It's a blueprint to make our VA and military stronger and more responsive to all those who proudly protect America, now and in the past," the Democratic Congresswoman said.
Total department spending is expected to be more than $250 billion in fiscal 2022.
This draft budget also includes $10.9 billion for military construction projects next fiscal year—roughly $3 billion above current year levels and $1 billion more than the president's request.
House appropriators are expected to vote to pass the plan to the full chamber soon. A possible vote on the package is expected in late July.
However, it will likely still be months before a final budget agreement is reached on VA and military construction spending with the U.S. Senate.
The latest plan calls for $97.6 billion for veteran medical care spending, of which $778.5 million would go towards gender-specific care for women veterans ($73 million more than what the White House requested), $902 million for medical and prosthetic research ($20 million more), and $84 million for "whole health" initiatives ($10 million more).

Developers submit plans to transform West Falls Church Metro parking
David Taube December 27, 2021 at 9:30am
A planned mixed-use project by the West Falls Church Metro station (via Fairfax County)
Plans are officially in for the mixed-use project that will transform the West Falls Church Metro station area.
Developers EYA, Hoffman & Associates, and Rushmark Properties has proposed replacing parking lots by the Metro station with over 1 million square feet of new construction, including residential buildings and townhomes, an office building, up to 10,000 square feet of retail, and 2.1 acres of parks.
After signing an agreement in August with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which owns the land, the group — collectively known as FGCP-Metro LLC — submitted a rezoning application and final development plans to Fairfax County on Dec. 17.
The project will create four new streets, potentially 90 townhouses, and up to 810 multifamily dwellings across three new buildings in Idylwood around an existing six-story WMATA parking garage.
"The Applicant's proposal, in addition to redevelopment of the adjacent West Falls Site and Virginia Tech Site, presents an exciting inter-jurisdictional planning opportunity entirely unique in Virginia," Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley & Walsh attorney Andrew Painter said in the application. "When constructed, this approximately 60-acre district will function as one larger transit-oriented neighborhood."
The plan calls for a six-story multifamily building by Falls Church Drive and the existing WMATA parking garage.
The building's first floor would have retail, resident amenities, and an outdoor terrace. The complex would also have an interior courtyard, and a nearby woonerf would encourage pedestrian traffic.
Parking for the new structure, which is slated to be developed by Rushmark, would be concentrated in an underground garage.
The proposal also includes three blocks of townhomes. The first two would be three stories tall, with one set having up to 17 units and the other, located by The Pavillion and Village condos, having up to 42 townhomes. The third block would consist of four-story residences with up to 27 units.
Of the for-sale homes, 15% will be considered affordable, and 10% of the rental units would meet other affordability criteria for workforce dwelling units, the proposal states.
Additional multifamily buildings with up to 280 units and 210 units would be allowed sometime in the future.
"Together with the surrounding community and Metro, EYA, Hoffman & Associates and Rushmark Properties, have created a thoughtful design," WMATA said when it announced the development agreement. "The project is the result of a multi-year effort between Metro, the development team, and Fairfax County…to enhance an underutilized asset."
The outdoor spaces would include a 20,600 square-foot park, a 33,300 square-foot transit plaza, and an approximately 8,100 square-foot nature area with benches and bicycle racks.
Additionally, a 19,500 square-foot, fenced dog park could be created at the northwest corner of Haycock Road and the Metro access road. According to Painter, the area would also feature horseshoe games, disc golf practice baskets, and picnic tables.
Fairfax County made way for the proposed construction in July, when the Board of Supervisors approved a comprehensive plan amendment permitting mixed-use development in the West Falls Church Transit Station Area.
The amended plan also allows for a redevelopment of Virginia Tech's Northern Virginia Center campus on Haycock Road, though the university killed its proposed expansion in March and has not announced any replacement projects since.
With the new development expected to bring more residents and traffic, the county initiated an effort on Dec. 13 to study options for improving the area's transportation network, which community members have said is already unsafe and inadequate for the anticipated new demand.
WMATA has previously said that construction on its redevelopment project will begin in 2023.

First Post on Penn State Nov 2011
An Outsider's View of PSU and the National Narrative UPDATED
I am a 65 year old Tennessee graduate and fan who's only ties to Pennsylvania was a year spent it Sayer, Pa in 2002. My father was a Judge and political figure in Tennessee and I attended law school there for a time. Dad was a past president of the UT Alumni Association and I know something about the love of a university and it's football program. I know first hand how those institutions can sometimes protect themselves to the detriment of others but I do not believe that is what was happening in State College in the wake of Jerry Sandusky
Perhaps some people can dismiss those who object to what is being touted in the national press from PSU alumni and students as misplaced loyalty but they can't dismiss it from an outsider on those terms. I have no ties or particular love for PSU or JoePa. But I am appalled at the knee jerk reactions of much of the media and political figures who have created a rush to judgment of Mike McQueary and Joe Paterno and the good people at PSU.
The Grand Jury Report is a summary of allegations designed for the sole purpose of getting an indictment. It is in no way a fair or complete description of testimony or facts. It contains no full quotes, no Q & A, no exculpatory evidence, no cross-examination, and only the most damning parts of testimony presented in a manner that is most damaging to the target of the investigation.
Yet so many media people use the allegations in this document as if they were unassailable FACT and the whole story without any regard for the damage it might do to those who testified as "credible witnesses".
The Grand Jury Report makes credible witness Mike McQueary out to be some kind of coward who ran from an old man sodomizing a 10 year old boy. But is that what happened? I doubt it.
Suppose that Mike McQueary's testimony went something like this: "I entered the locker room on March 1 2002 hearing noise like a slapping sound from the showers. I didn't think much of it and went to put some shoes in my locker. I passed by the entrance to the showers on my way out and much to my shock I saw my former coach and mentor and a man both I and the football community held in the highest esteem behind a young kid of maybe 10 to 14 years of age with the kids hands against the shower room wall. It was steamy and there was water running but I thought I might be seeing anal sex or sodomy due to the noise and positions. They saw me immediately and both turned toward me. Jerry yelled "Hey we were just horsing around" "I can't be certain what I saw because I was in shocked disbelief. The two of them turned off the showers and grabbed their towels and I went into a nearby office to call my father for advice where I could observe them. I thought about ordering them not to leave but they seemed to be on friendly terms. I could not get that first impression out of my head but the shock of it made it difficult to be certain and I couldn't think straight. I did not know if I should try to stop them from leaving and did not know if I had the right to do that. JS seemed very embarrassed and the boy seemed unconcerned as they hurriedly left the locker room after dressing. From the time I first saw them to the time I went to make the call it was only seconds. It all happened so fast but I was mortified to see a naked grown man I respected in such close contact with a young boy where it seemed to me something of a sexual nature was happening. I was stunned and shocked so I spoke to my Dad for several minutes to calm down and get my head straight and then went to his house to discuss with him what if anything I should do. On his advice we went to see Joe Paterno early the next morning and I told him this same story." " I then spoke to the AD and VP in charge of campus police and told them what I told JoePa and what I am telling you now."
The prosecutor then summarizes this testimony into - Graduate assistant witnessed a 10 year old victim of anal rape and ran to call his father. JoePa summarizes it a some kind of inappropriate horsing around of a possibly sexual nature. The AD and VP summarize it as inappropriate horseplay and inform Second Mile and tell JS that he must not bring any kids to the PSU locker rooms. Remember they don't know who the victim or kid in the shower was.
Most people will describe a boy in an age range = maybe 10 to 14 or 8 to 12 years old because it's tough to guess the exact age of children. The DA will use the youngest age mentioned because the younger the boy the worse the perception. It's like using "anal rape" when given a choice of "something of a sexual nature, fondling, or sodomy". How does a 6 foot 4 inch tall man do that to a 10 year old who's head does not reach his chest while standing up?
I suppose the VP or AD should and could have gone to Sandusky and asked him to take them to the kid and then asked what was going on, or they should have had their campus police do it. If the boy seemed scared or if he begged for assistance McQueary's response would be one thing but if he behaved as if nothing were wrong it would be something else. If the activity stopped immediately and they were dressing and leaving does McQueary have the right to hold them there without the 'victim' asking for help? Would the police hold them if the boy said it was all a mistake? Did McQueary know for certain the boy wasn't a foster child of Sandusky or a grandchild. Why don't they show us a diagram or picture of the locker room, McQueary's locker and the view and distance to the showers?
The point is that we don't know what happened but we can identify with a 28 year old graduate assistant who is shocked and dumbfounded by seeing his longtime family friend, coach and mentor in the showers with a boy and the possible confusion over what exactly what he was witnessing can't we? You would of course know exactly what you saw in fleeting seconds from some indeterminate distance through steam and water if one of the parties was a person you respected and even loved - right?
THE NATIONAL NARRATIVE and the rush to judgment based on a summary of allegations.
I can't believe how so many professional reporters and talking heads like Mark May and Greg Doyle can rush to judgement based on the one sided and incomplete Grand Jury Report and the stupidity and callousness of the DA who made that report public without explaining it's purpose. He has caused the PSU Board Of Trustees to rush to judgment by firing the man who did the right thing and who has given a lifetime of service to Penn State University. He has ruined the life of a reportedly fine young man who grew up in State College and loved his university by making it appear that he was a coward who ran away while a 10 year old boy was pleading for help as he was being brutalized. So many people outside of PSU have formed an indelible opinion based on this Grand Jury Report that what has been done can never be undone.
I could be wrong - but then again I could be right and none of us outside of those that have read the complete testimony of Mike McQueary know exactly what he said and even if we had he was not cross examined by a defense attorney who would likely get to the root of his confusion, doubts, and state of mind even if the prosecutor did not.
The moral is don't rush to judge what you do not fully understand. You cannot put yourself in Mike McQueary's mind given his personal history with JS, State College, and PSU, and there is no way we know the exact nature of what he and JoePa discussed or how he described the event to the AD or the VP. There is so much the Grand Jury Report does not tell us and what it does is by design totally biased.
Watch out for the Governor who was leading this investigation for 1 year 3 years ago. He is trying to cover his ass as is the prosecutor who will use this case to further his political career if he can. The DA summarized the McQueary testimony to suggest the gist of what the prosecution wants to try to prove. SEE BELOW in the comments the full text of the McQueary summary and notice there are no quotes or Q&A. We don't know exactly what was said and until we do we cannot judge Joe Paterno or Mike McQueary. That makes the firing of JoePa a complete travesty of justice for political gain and the reaction of the media and the public a judgment based on woefully incomplete information.
And this is from and outsider who has no ties or loyalty to Joe, Mike, PSU or the State of Pa.
Legal Definitions - Presentment or Report and Indictment
A Grand Jury Report or Presentment is a Summary of Allegations designed to justify an INDICTMENT
Legal Definition – PRESENTMENT, crim. law, practice. The written notice taken by a grand jury of any offence, from their own knowledge or observation, without any bill of indictment laid before them at the suit of the government; 4 Bl. Com. 301; upon such presentment, when 'proper, the officer employed to prosecute, afterwards frames a bill of indictment, which is then sent to the grand jury, and they find it to be a true bill. In an extended sense presentments include not only what is properly so called, but also inquisitions of office, and indictments found by a grand jury.
Legal Definition -indictment n. a charge of a felony (serious crime) voted by a grand jury based upon a proposed charge, witnesses' testimony and other evidence presented by the public prosecutor (District Attorney). To bring an indictment the grand jury will not find guilt, but only the probability that a crime was committed, that the accused person did it, and that he/she should be tried. District Attorneys only introduce key facts sufficient to show the probability, both to save time and to avoid revealing all the evidence. The Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution provides that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment of a Grand Jury…" However, while grand juries are common in charging Federal crimes, many states use grand juries sparingly, and use the criminal complaint, followed by a "preliminary hearing" held by a lower court judge or other magistrate, who will determine whether or not the prosecutor has presented sufficient evidence that the accused has committed a felony. If the judge finds there is enough evidence, he/she will order the case sent to the appropriate court for trial
When reading these definitions it is evident that the DA presents only key parts of testimony sufficient to get a case to trial. This is meant to be the biased unchallenged most damning statements by witnesses without revealing anything like the complete testimony. And despite what any witness might provide under questioning by investigators or prosecutors, the testimony has not been subjected to cross-examination to determine things like 1) degree of certainty 2) circumstances of state of mind, distance, obscured vision by steam or water, position of the parties involved, or potential misconceptions.
Exact Text of the Grand Jury Report regarding Mike McQueary
On March 1, 2002, a Penn State graduate assistant who was then 28 years old entered the locker room at the Lasch Football Building on the University Park Campus on a Friday night before the beginning of Spring Break. The graduate assistant , who was familiar with Sandusky, was going to put some newly purchased sneakers in his locker and get some recording tape to watch. It was about 9:30pm. As the graduate assistant entered the locker room doors, he was surprised to find the lights and showers on. He then heard rhythmic slapping sounds. He believed the sounds to be those of sexual activity. As the graduate assistant put the sneakers in his locker, he looked into the showers. He saw a naked boy, victim 2, whose age he estimated to be ten years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. The graduate assistant was shocked but noticed both victim 2 and Sandusky saw him. He left immediately, distraught.
QUESTIONS on above statement:
1) How far from McQueary's locker to the showers?
2) So MM could see exactly what? penetration? was there steam and water?
3) 30 seconds of this view? 15? Did JS and the boy see McQueary immediately?
The graduate assistant went to his office and called his father, reporting to him what he had seen. His father told him to leave the building anc come to his home. The GA and his father decided the GA had to promptly report what he had seen to Coach Joe Paterno, head football coach of Penn State. The next morning, a Saturday, the GA telephoned Paterno and went to Paterno's home where he reported what he had seen.
Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the GA's report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the GA was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley the PSU AD and Paterno's immediate superior to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the GA had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.
QUESTIONS: So did he say fondling or something of a sexual nature or Anal rape?
Did he say "something that might have been sexual like anal intercourse" to the investigator?
How certain was he of what he saw exactly? And exactly what was his quoted testimony?
Approximately one and a half weeks later, the GA was called to a meeting with PSU AD Curley and Sr VP for Finance and Business Gary Schultz. The GA reported to Curley and Schultz that he had witnessed what he believed to be Sandusky having anal sex with a boy in the Lasch Building showers. Curley and Schultz assured the GA that they would look into it and determine what further action they would take. Paterno was not present for that meeting.
QUESTIONS: So he told Paterno something of a sexual nature or fondling and he told the AD and VP it was anal intercourse? Somehow I doubt that completely.
The defense will tear his testimony apart if he changed his account and I doubt he did. I think this is all the prosecutors summary aggrandized to get an indictment.
Notice these things about the Grand Jury Report
NO quotes
NO Q & A
NO 'believes' 'maybe' 'could have been's' or 'uncertainty'
Without direct quotes we can't know the language used and that makes it obvious that the DA or prosecutor summarized or interpreted the gist of the testimony
The summary contradicts itself OR suggests that MM told Paterno, the investigators, the AD and the VP different versions of what he might have seen.
That is how we know his statements in the email's lately are likely to be more accurate than this Grand Jury report concerning "Making sure it stopped" and "reporting to the police".
This is a terrible report for the prosecution if it suggests to a jury that MM had different versions of what he saw – and it appears from the summary that he did.
Everyone should read LET'S ALL FEEL SUPERIOR piece in the NYT and take the time to view this interview with JON RITCHIE on ESPN along withd the GROWING UP PENN STATE piece.
If you have previously made up your mind about the Sandusky Scandal you now have a chance to reevaluate your position in the light of additional information and a clear definition of the Grand Jury Report and it's purpose.
MISPLACED OR JUSTIFIABLE OUTRAGE???
A great deal of outrage is being voiced toward a witness in the biggest scandal to hit sports in a long long time from the media to the governor to ordinary citizens posting on forums claiming they know exactly what they would have done and what the witness should have done. Most blame the witness and want him prosecuted for what they think is inaction.
See where you stand on this situation.
Studies show that the average person would avoid or remain silent when confronted with this type of situation
These are the facts about the witness:
1) He was born and raised in the small community where the situation happened.
2) His father was a close personal friend of the alleged perpetrator
3) He grew up knowing the alleged perpetrator from a very early age
4) His classmate was the son of the alleged perpetrator and they were close friends
5) The alleged perpetrator was a coach and he was a player recruited by the perpetrator
6) He spent a great deal of time with the alleged perpetrator and never suspected or encountered anything like what he witnessed years later.
7) The coach of the university in this small town had achieved the status of a Deity
8) The alleged perpetrator was this Deity's right hand man and heir apparent
9) The witness's family, his father, his idol and the administration of the university he has loved and revered all his life all seem to respect and adore the alleged perpetrator
10) In 1977 the alleged perpetrator starts a charity to help underprivileged kids
11) From 1977 to 2002 the charity grows and the alleged perpetrator achieves the status of a SAINT for his charitable work
12) the alleged perpetrator receives public acclaim and an award from Senator Rick Santorum.
13) In 1999 the alleged perpetrator gives up his successful career as an award winning defensive coordinator for one of the most respected defenses in football to devote himself to his charity.
14) The witness finishes his college career at the university that same year having spent 4 years as quarterback with the alleged perpetrator as one of his coaches.
15 In 2002 the witness gets his dream job chance to be a graduate assistant for the same university football team
View Jon Ritchie's 10 minute video describing the above situation in full detail with passion. Jon Ritchie is a very intelligent graduate of Stanford University who grew up knowing both the witness and the alleged perpetrator.
It is true that the witness is in a position where could lose his chance of a dream job while doing great harm to the reputation of the university he loves as well as creating problems for his coach and the local Deity. That could play into his reaction so take that into account before you weigh in on what you would do.
So try to imagine this event. You are walking into the locker room for your beloved institution and football program around 9pm. You here the shower running as you walk to your locker to deposit a pair of shoes. On the way out you glance into the locker and see this well respected charitable man and family friend and it appears he is holding a young boy against the wall and both are naked. You think it is a sexual assault. They see you and the activity stops.
At this point we don't know if anything was said or if the two in the shower left the shower but we think the witness then went into the office and called his father.
Did the witness see the activity stop?
He says "I MADE SURE IT STOPPED"
I can imagine the witness was shocked, confused, dumbstruck with disbelief and he decided that calling his father was what he had to do. He and his father talked til midnight and went to see the coach the next morning. The coach went to his boss the AD and the VP in charge of the campus police. I'm not sure what else he could or should do. He told his boss the coach and fully disclosed his opinion of what he thought he had witnessed to the Athletic Director and more importantly the head of the Campus Police.
What would you have been able to do if confronted with the most respected family friend you know in a similar situation? Remember this family friend is viewed as a Saint in your community for his charitable work.
NOW READ the VICTIM 2 section of the GRAND JURY REPORT on which those who accuse the witness base their outrage. Notice there are no quotes. No Q&A just a summary of charges as composed by the Grand Jury. It is not comprehensive and there is no cross examination. Based on this one sided incomplete brief summation of the events of the night of March 1, 2002. To me it makes these big mouths look incredibly unfair and stupid. This report is all anyone has to go on to determine exactly what happened.

Swiss Canton Voters Overwhelmingly Adopt 1.8 Percent Flat Tax
By Daniel J. Mitchell
More than 90 percent of voters in the Swiss Canton of Obwalden have voted for a flat tax of just 1.8 percent. This is positive news for tax competition within Switzerland, and it doubtlessly will put even more pressure on Europe's welfare states to reform oppressive tax regimes. Presumably voters in other Cantons will now petition for a chance to vote for low‐rate flat tax systems, and maybe it is just a matter of time 'til one of them decides to completely eliminate the income tax. Swissinfo reports:
Obwalden has become the first Swiss canton to adopt a flat income tax rate, with more than 90 per cent of the electorate voting in favour of the move. The decision, announced by the authorities after a vote on Sunday, comes after a court ruled the canton's previous degressive tax model unfair. From next January Obwalden will impose a rate of 1.8 per cent on all categories. The new model also exempts the first SFr10,000 ($8,700) of income from taxation, a measure designed to benefit those on lower incomes the most. …In Switzerland there is high competition among the cantons to set the lowest tax rates to attract wealthy individuals and companies. …European neighbours have frequently expressed outrage that their rich citizens are opting to empty their pockets into Swiss coffers rather than their own. But Switzerland has defended its position as providing healthy competition.

Rudy, Hillary, and Power
By David Boaz
I have some thoughts in last Tuesday's New Hampshire Union Leader about Senator Clinton, Mayor Giuliani, and the use and abuse of power:
Clinton, always eager to wield power on behalf of her vision of the public good, has just endorsed new government mandates on health care and energy along with a $50 billion spending program for global AIDS. Meanwhile, revelations about Giuliani's secretive use of New York City police and his refusal to allow the city comptroller to audit his security spending reflect his lifelong affinity for using and abusing power.
Clinton calls herself a "government junkie." She says, "There is no such thing as other people's children" and promises to work on "redefining who we are as human beings in the post‐modern age."…
Giuliani seems much less committed to any particular vision of government's role. Rather, throughout his career Giuliani has displayed an authoritarian streak that is deeply troubling in a potential President who would assume executive powers vastly expanded by President Bush….
Giuliani wants power concentrated in whatever position he holds at the time, and Clinton wants the federal government to have vast powers to do good as she sees it. Not a happy choice for the voters in a free country.
Bulgaria Now an Official Member of the Flat Tax Club
The Sofia News Agency reports that a 10 percent flat tax has cleared a final hurdle in the Bulgarian Parliament. The article notes that the new tax system requires a signature from the President, but this is expected to be a formality. So it's time to play the unofficial theme song of the global flat tax revolution and welcome the 23rd jurisdiction to the club:
Bulgaria's parliament passed on second reading on Monday the amendments introducing a flat tax rate in the country. …The amendments are final and only a veto from president Georgi Parvanov can stop them from becoming law, although he has given no indication he plans to do so. …The leaders of the three parties in Bulgaria's ruling coalition have agreed in summer on the tax reform, with a flat rate of 10%, the lowest in Europe, replacing the progressive taxation system with three brackets. Since Estonia introduced a flat tax system in 1994, enjoying stable GDP growth, eastern European countries have been attracted to the flat tax that promises to attract foreign investments and increase transparency.
"Good News" on the Trade Deficit?
By Daniel Griswold
Against a backdrop of a lot of negative economic news, the Commerce Department this morning reported the "good news" that the U.S. current account deficit shrank in the third quarter to $178.5 billion. The current account is the broadest measure of U.S. trade with the rest of the world, including not only goods and services but income from investments and unilateral transfers such as foreign aid.
I use scare quotes around "good news" because it isn't really obvious why we should all be cheering a smaller current account deficit. Many of the same stories that hail an "improving" trade account also report that one of the main reasons behind it is the slowing U.S. economy compared to the rest of the world. Slower economic growth at home means less demand for imports, while faster growth abroad boosts the export of U.S. goods. I'm all for increased exports, but since when is slower domestic growth good news?
An interesting figure from the current account report is the flow of investment income. In the third quarter Americans earned $20 billion more in interest, dividends and profits on our investments abroad than foreigners earned on their investments in the United States. This despite the fact that foreigners own about $2.5 trillion more in U.S. assets than Americans own in assets abroad. The reason for the seeming discrepancy is that the assets we own abroad have a much higher return, while foreigners have (so far) remained content to earn a lower return on their more liquid and secure investments in the United States.
Opponents of trade liberalization constantly point to the trade deficit as evidence that U.S. trade policies are failing. We've debunked that claim at the Center for Trade Policy Studies, but perhaps one bit of genuine good news in today's report is that critics of trade will have a slightly smaller target to aim at.

It's Always in the Last Place You Look
Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters writes, "In the first five years of his presidency, Bush could barely find his veto pen. Now, however, freed of the burden of defending a free‐spending Republican Congress, Bush has discovered his inner Reagan."
Maybe the veto pen really was lost for years, and it just turned up in the White House Book Room.
Government and Politics, Tax and Budget Policy
By Tim Lynch
Since today is Bill of Rights Day, it seems like an appropriate time to pause and consider the condition of the safeguards set forth in our fundamental legal charter.
Let's consider each amendment in turn.
The First Amendment says that Congress "shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech." Government officials, however, insist that they can make it a crime to mention the name of a political candidate in an ad in the weeks preceding an election.
The Second Amendment says the people have the right "to keep and bear arms." Government officials, however, insist that they can make it a crime to keep and bear arms.
The Third Amendment says soldiers may not be quartered in our homes without the consent of the owners. This safeguard is doing so well that we can pause here for a laugh.
The Fourth Amendment says the people have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. Government officials, however, insist that they can storm into homes in the middle of the night after giving residents a few seconds to answer their "knock" on the door.
The Fifth Amendment says that private property shall not be taken "for a public use without just compensation." Government officials, however, insist that they can take away our property and give it to others who covet it.
