Listen, wait and see. I like to get all my information before I make a decision, speak to all parties involved, and then go from there. Usually, I try to put myself in their position and see from another viewpoint. You always put yourself in another viewpoint to see if you're making the right action — like if I was in their shoes, would this still fly?
And if the answer is 'no,' then it's 'no.' Just like with the methane plant; if you wouldn't put that in your own neighborhood, why would you put that in someone else's neighborhood. Same thing goes with leading. You have to lead from the front, not the back.
I would say buses. I don't think Louisville is ready for light rail, but we could improve our bus system — more buses, more routes. Like I said yesterday on Twitter, and TARC liked it, we need to put hybrid and electric down in the city and move the diesel out to the county lines. That's what I would do. Increase funding for more buses, more lines, so they're running every 30 minutes and every hour in the county, so people can get back and forth to work.
Well, we're the economic engine, so we can call the shots really. And if we have to, you just have to start taking less money from Frankfort to get out from underneath their control; we just have to raise our own taxes or figure out how to make up a shortfall when Frankfort takes their funding away. That's the only way to get out from underneath somebody is to be your own person.
Local control, first. Putting kids first. Instead of looking out for what the parents want, you got to really look out for the best interests of the child. You know, the parents might want you to go to the local school or some other private school with vouchers, but does the child really need that? Can the local school service the child's needs? Most of the time the answer is yes, but the parents have to get involved. I mean, all the money being spent to get vouchers for charter schools could be spent at PTA meetings or just volunteering. I went to schools and that makes a difference, when parents volunteer — it really does.
Well, when it comes to the streets, it's just so busy down here, it's not like the country where you can block the street off and do it. Like coming in today, I was almost late trying to get in through construction — we have to balance paving. You just can't do a whole block at a time. You have to talk to the experts, but I'm against paving year and spending $10 million on paving. We had a $10 million surplus and we spent it on paving. I'd rather just spend it on better shocks and tires or something; we could use $10 million on the homeless situation or the opiate situation. Just bumpy roads is not really a main concern for me — other things concern me.
I agree. I'm here, been here 34 years. Born and raised from Berrytown and I see every major improvement around here has been made for tourists. But the people, local people, get left out. Only time we benefit from the new buildings is two weeks out of the year, during Derby. Other than that, we just looking at the Omni Hotel, the new convention center. We are never going to use it. We could use that money to start some programs for the kids; it's just, I don't know, free TARC rides, so much we could do instead.
Like we [were] going to give Walmart $500,000 to come here and build, and then they didn't want to build it our way, and then Mayor Fischer wanted to hold on to them, saying 'We're doing a bad job.' Unless Walmart is going to guarantee $15 an hour with jobs, why are we going to give $500,000 to one of the most rich corporations in the world? It doesn't make sense to me.
You gotta stop doing that. We could've given that $500,000 to local grocers, start five local groceries for $500,000 seed money, or ten $50,000 — but $500,000 to Walmart, that doesn't make sense. Then they say we don't have money for things, so you gotta stop that.
I'd like to put a freeze on residential building until 90 percent to 95 percent of vacant lots and abandoned houses are repurposed — no more building out to the country, no more sprawl. I mean, commercial could build where they want, but no more residential. That's the problem, people don't want to live next to each other. People in West Louisville right now, when they get a little money, they want to move out of West Louisville. Then if you move out, you got to build out, and it just creates more sprawl and leaves all these abandoned houses down here.
So, if you put a cap on it, people are forced to build down here — either there or you're going to have skyscrapers out in the East End. Either way is fine with me. Just, people need to learn to live together. People always want to spread apart, they are scared of one another, a way to bring them together is to kind of force them.
People's property values are going to rise, so that's a plus, and people will have to build here, because developers want money. So they are going to have to build somewhere, so you have to force their hand.
That's a threefold question, because the gun violence is not just limited to one section of town or one group of people. Like a guy on Westport killed his grandmother with a pistol — had nothing to do with gangs, nothing to do with violence. So how do you prevent that? Some things you can prevent just by providing better opportunities. A lot of these people wouldn't be doing what they do if they could make a decent amount of money.
You got to give somebody better options — a lot of people out here wouldn't be doing what they're doing if they options. Some people do it just because, it's just the life. But about 60 percent of them, if you give them a better option, then you won't have it.
I have to ask someone who is homeless. I can't say what makes someone homeless because I've never been homeless. I have a family support structure, a big family. They might not be able to give me money, but I would never be homeless. If I ever fall on hard times, I could always move in with them, so I don't know. I don't know what to tell people who don't have that. You just lose your job, or you're late because of road construction — you get fired — you get locked up. You either have to do something legal or you'll get evicted and live on the streets, and I don't know.
I was reading an article the other day and it said a lot of LGBT are homeless because their parents kick them out. That's not right, but can you force somebody not to kick their kids out? Especially if they are of-age? We just got to create a safety net for them — a program where you can stay here, nothing fancy, but it keeps rain off your head and we give you a job to allow you to build yourself up.
That's the only thing I can offer them, but I am eager to listen to any help. I'm all ears.
We should get rid of them, because even the generals back in the day said, 'If we keep these memorials up, they will keep the wounds open.' So just listen to them. They were there, they lived it. If they said, the people they make the statues of — Robert E. Lee said we can't have statues up, erect memorials of this war because it will keep the wound open, got to take them down.
Especially if the citizens, I'm all about the people — even if some things I don't agree with the people, but if popular opinion says 'we want this,' I won't stand in the way of the people. If a majority of Louisville want the statues gone, they're gone. Simple as that.
All of them. I follow this radio station on Twitter. Anything news and local, I'm following it. The LEO, Insider Louisville, Courier-Journal, even the national — CNN, I follow them.
Graffiti is not an issue for me. A lot of times, it's art, you know? People just expressing themselves, it's not about a crime, so that's low on the list of things for me. Abandoned houses and all that, that's pretty high because that's a safety risk — it creates infestations and it goes it to the next people's yard, and they have infestation.
So, to address it, I already said, I would put a ban, a hold, on residential building which will force people to redevelop the abandoned housing and abandoned lots. So that would be the first step. Any other steps, I have to just wait and see, see how that step works and if it works, we just keep building on that, if not, we go in a different direction.
I think it's for every one tree that comes down, five needs to be planted — is that the law?
I don't know if it's the law or just reading about, somebody down in Butchertown cut the trees and they said it was topped [motions above head, like trimming the top of trees] , but it did the same thing with the Courier-Journal parking lot and we have to have some kind of standard.
We can't have one guy saying, 'This is good and this is not.' We have to have a set standard, so everybody knows what we're going on. But to protect the canopy, like I said, for every tree cut down, we need four planted. If a tree really needs to come down, it'll come down. But if it really doesn't, they're not going to want to go out and buy five new trees just to cut this tree down. You only need to cut the trees down that you need to come down — not just cutting them down just because.
Just like over by the billboard; that was city property, but they let OUTFRONT Media cut the trees down so they could see their billboard. How does that benefit the citizens of Louisville? Sounds like it benefits OUTFRONT to me.
It really shouldn't. City police doesn't have to enforce federal laws, so if that's the truth, they don't have to do it. That has to go for all federal laws. If you aren't going to enforce immigration federal law, why we enforcing federal drug law? Probably because you get money for one and money for the other. I bet if we got money for enforcing immigration law, Fischer would start enforcing it — but since we get $50 million for drug enforcement, they're all about drug enforcement, so what's the difference?
If you're not going to enforce one federal law, don't enforce the other.
Yes, I do. Our officers have other things to be doing instead of helping federal officers do their job. We have our own problems, let them handle their own problems. Unless we have an immigrant here who broke the law, you know, they're in the jail, we shouldn't have to try to stop them. But ICE comes and is like, 'This guy is a federal criminal' we should let him go. We shouldn't be calling them up though, only if they come looking for him. We shouldn't try to keep ICE from taking them, but we shouldn't help them either.

- ''Tariff Disaster Offers a Lesson on the Folly of Protectionism''../">CalTrade ReportAsia Quake Victims Thomas Sowell, Baltimore Sun, 06/16/06 - Thomas Sowell, Baltimore Sun, 06/16/06 - ''Tariff Disaster Offers a Lesson on the Folly of Protectionism''
''Tariff Disaster Offers a Lesson on the Folly of Protectionism''
Thomas Sowell, Baltimore Sun, 06/16/06
ONLY A FEW economic historians are likely to notice that tomorrow marks the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill, and even economic historians are unlikely to be nostalgic about that disastrous legislation.
Why not leave the bad news of the past in the past? After all, we have our own problems today.
Unfortunately, the same kind of thinking that led to the Hawley-Smoot tariffs is still alive and well - and in full youthful vigor - in the media and in politics today.
At the heart of past and present arguments for restricting imports that compete with U.S.-made products is the notion that these imports will cost Americans their jobs. That fear was even more understandable in 1930, when the Great Depression was getting under way and unemployment was at 9 percent.
The Hawley-Smoot bill raised U.S. tariffs to record-high levels in an attempt to protect existing jobs and in hopes of helping the unemployed find work producing things that the United States had previously been importing from other countries.
Many businesses were in favor of the new tariffs, hoping to retain or expand their markets, and farmers were especially big supporters of Hawley-Smoot.
Most of the leading economists in the country were opposed. A front-page headline in The New York Times of May 5, 1930, read: "1,028 Economists Ask Hoover to Veto Pending Tariff Bill."
Those signing this public appeal against the new tariffs included many of the top economists of the day - 25 professors of economics at Harvard, 26 at the University of Chicago and 28 at Columbia.
But, to a politician, what do 1,028 votes matter in a country the size of the United States?
Rep. Willis C. Hawley and Sen. Reed Smoot, both Republicans, ignored them, as did President Herbert Hoover, who signed the legislation into law the next month.
The economic reasons for not restricting international trade then were the same as they are today. The only difference is that what happened then gives us a free home demonstration of what can be expected to happen if we go that route again.
The economists' appeal spelled it out: "The proponents of higher tariffs claim that the increase in rates will give work to the idle. This is not true. We cannot increase employment by restricting trade."
If 9 percent unemployment was troublesome in 1930, when the Hawley-Smoot tariffs were passed, it was nothing compared with the 16 percent unemployment the next year and the 25 percent unemployment two years after that. The annual rate of U.S. unemployment never got back to the 9 percent level again during the 1930s.
American industry as a whole operated at a loss for two consecutive years. Farmers, who had given strong support to the Hawley-Smoot tariffs, saw their own exports cut by two-thirds as countries around the world retaliated against American tariffs by restricting their imports of U.S. industrial and agricultural products.
The economists' appeal had warned of "retaliatory tariffs" that would set off a wave of international trade restrictions that would hurt all countries economically.
After everything that these economists had warned about happened, tariffs began to be reduced. But throughout the 1930s, they remained above where they were before the Hawley-Smoot tariffs - and so did unemployment.
Many factors, of course, affected the Great Depression of the 1930s. But later economists looking back have seen Hawley-Smoot as one of the factors needlessly prolonging the economic disaster.
How much wiser are we today? Not much, if at all.
Talk about import restrictions or complaints about "outsourcing" today proceed with the same mindless disregard of what other nations are doing and will do.
People who throw around statistics about how many American jobs have been outsourced don't even mention how many Americans have jobs that have been outsourced from other countries, much less how many Americans would lose those jobs if we started a new round of international trade restrictions.
Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Non-Stop Music, Dance & Everything Irish!
For the past number of years we have done a smaller Friday Night show and then a full Festival on Saturday. This year we are going back to our roots and doing the whole show in one BIG day-on Saturday September 15th. We will also be LOWERING our prices for Saturday admission this year to $15 in advance (with the price chopper card) and $20 at the gate (that's a savings of about 18% in advance and 20% at the gate. We are also LOWERING vendor fees in an effort to increase the selection. We will still offer top flight entertainment along with other cultural and children's activities as we have in the past, and our hours of operation will only change by a single hour-11a.m.-11p.m. as opposed to 10am. Kids 12 and under will still get in for free. I know some of you will miss the Friday show, but we believe that lowering our gate fees and fitting all the fun into one day will ultimately allow us to remain a top notch event while also saving families as much money as possible.


I'm proud to announce that I've been endorsed by Women Winning in my candidacy for the Mendota City Council. Women Winning supports the efforts of women seeking leadership roles in areas that are critical to children, families and communities. As an involved community member, I've demonstrated my commitment to our schools, greenspaces, literacy, and the arts. I am honored by this endorsement. It is my hope Mendota Heights residents will benefit from these shared values and support my candidacy to Mendota Heights City Council. Read the announcement here, and find their full Mid-Term Election Guide here.


JODY BROWN has called on his players to forget the "hype" surrounding the club and regain the focus which has underpinned such an impressive opening half to the campaign.
The Swifts manager's comments come in the wake of a battling come-from-behind draw at home to an impressive Bury Town side on Saturday.
Cemal Ramadan gave the visitors a 47th-minute lead before an equaliser on the hour mark from Kreshnic Krasniqi, who also picked up a very worrying late knee injury as he went in for a blocking tackle.
It left Swifts nine points off the play-off places but with up to 12 games in hand on some rivals after defeats for four of the top eight yesterday.
And Brown (pictured above), whose side have had fairytale runs in the FA Cup and FA Trophy this season, was happy to take something from the Bostik North encounter.
He said: "It was an important point and a good reaction having lost Luke Callander an hour before kick off.
"Kreshnic scored a typical midfielder's goal, arriving late and finishing well, but his injury is a real concern to us all.
"But I was extremely disappointed with the reaction of one of our players at being substituted – it goes against all of my principles and definitely illustrates that as a group we may need to be brought down a peg or two.
"The problem with success is some people can't cope with it and begin to feel like they're doing you a favour being there, which in turn begins to reflect in performances and discipline.
"Bury played well and we had to play well to get something from the game.
"It is important we remember who we are and what we are… and the process associated with getting results.
"We need to not believe our believe our own hype and just keep striving to improve as individuals and as a team.
As was the case in the midweek draw with Haringey, it seemed Saturday's visitors to the Aspen Waite Arena had come to gain a point again and there was little goalmouth action in the first half with defences on top.
Callander was missing through injury so Joe Gardner again led line with Juan Luque looking dangerous and sharp.
Town's Ollie Hughes was quick and dangerous but Swifts reliable full-back Guillem Ramon was outstanding in keeping him in check.
Bury, who are managed by former Canvey Island favourite Ben Chenery, took lead when Ramadan scored with far post volley after a short corner was only partially cleared.
Swifts leveled when great cross by Leyton Orient loan defender Toby Stevenson was clawed away by keeper Luis Tibbles then fired home by Krasniqi.
The home crowd felt a winner might come but Swifts were frustrated by a well-organised defence.

Fact Sheet: Migration in Kansas City
Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, this downloadable fact sheet describes in detail the foreign-born population of the five main counties that comprise the Kansas City region: Johnson and Wyandotte in Kansas; and Jackson, Clay, and Platte in Missouri. The authors find that immigrants contribute significantly to the regional economy, working in a variety of industries and establishing strong roots in the community as long-term residents, homeowners, and parents of U.S.-citizen children.
Immigrant Learning Center
The Immigrant Learning Center, Inc. (ILC) of Malden, MA, is a not-for-profit organization that gives immigrants a voice in three ways: The English Language Program provides free, year-round English classes to immigrant and refugee adults in Greater Boston to help them become successful workers, parents and community members. The Public Education Institute informs Americans about the economic and social contributions of immigrants in our society. The Institute for Immigration Research, a joint venture with George Mason University, conducts research on the economic contributions of immigrants.
Nuevas Raices- New Roots
This is a digital archive that contains the oral histories of Latin American migrants in North Carolina and the experiences of North Carolinians that have worked for the integration of new settlers into this southern state.
This is What the US-Mexico Border Looks Like
Photographer John Moore has driven "every inch" of the border while covering the immigration issue for over a decade. He's spent time on both sides, tagging along with Border Patrol agents and migrants. Through his photos, you can see how the fencing varies greatly on different parts of the border.
The Undocumented
The official website for the movie the Undocumented. The site features an interactive map and timeline of migrant deaths in Arizona, as well as an Oregon Trail-style game called the Migrant Trail.
Waking Dream
Waking Dream weaves together the stories of six undocumented young people as they sit in limbo between deportation and a path to citizenship. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) has provided nearly 800,000 undocumented young people a chance to work legally, go to college, start businesses, and pursue the "American Dream." After DACA is rescinded, Waking Dream follows the unfolding fate of six of these young people as they fight for legal status in the U.S., struggle with the deportation of family members, and pursue their dreams in a country that is trying harder and harder to push them out.
The Wall: USA Today
This interactive map will show you video of the entire U.S.-Mexico border, and all the fencing USA Today could document from the air and the ground. You can also explore the issues in video stories, see 360-degree videos and get guided tours of portions of the border.

I see this guy in Downtown Crossing all the time, and I finally had the opportunity to take his photo.
Obviously, MENSSUITS is the funniest part of this sign, but I just noticed that the sign also spells warehouse wrong. If that were intentional, it would actually be a pretty good pun. But alas, I think it's just a spelling mistake.
Update: An alert reader pointed out that Men's Wearhouse is actually the correct spelling of the store's name. Surprisingly clever! However, there should be an apostrophe in Men's, so that part is still wrong.
Actually, menssuitsnewyork is an actual website, and Men's Wearhouse is a rival store.
However disturbing, there is nothing actually wrong with this sandwich board.
Well, if it's a web site, it should say menssuitsnewyork.com. Otherwise, it's unclear.
Wow, you are right about the Men's Wearhouse. That is actually clever! I've heard their commercials on the radio, but I guess I never thought about how the name was spelled.
Haha... I see this dude EVERY DAY on my way to meetings. I always cross the street to avoid him and his flyers.

Milne's High School was established in 1846 as a result of the generosity and benevolence of Alexander Milne who wished to see educational opportunities for young people becoming available in his home town of Fochabers. This building is now home to Milne's Primary School. The secondary school is now based in a building on an open site on the south side of Fochabers. The school is set on a very attractive site with its own extensive playing fields immediately accessible from the buildings. The buildings were constructed in phases between 1981 and 1989 when the school moved to its current site. A central teaching and management block is linked to other teaching areas of the school. Other teaching areas are housed in two-storey blocks, and a fourth block contains music and physical education facilities as well as the assembly hall and the social area/dining area.

Hotseat: Justin Bieber
Hundreds of you got in touch when we gave you the chance to put YOUR questions to pop star Justin Bieber!
The 15-year-old is already a huge hit in America and as been making waves in the UK charts with his debut album, My World.
We sent some of your most popular questions to the teen sensation and here's what he had to say...
What's your favourite song on My World, and are you coming back to the UK for the release of My World part 2?
It's hard to pick a favourite because all the songs mean so much to me. Down to Earth is very special to me definitely, since I was involved in the writing of it. It's a song that is very close to my heart.
If you could sing with any British artist or band, who would it be?
U2 are amazing to me. That would be awesome.
I find inspiration in everything, and especially in past experiences with life and girls and stuff.
Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Boys II Men definitely inspire me too, artists like that.
What's the best thing and worst thing about being famous?
Being able to perform for my fans is definitely the best part. Absolutely. It's a great privilege to be able to step on stage and perform for people who enjoy my music. I love it!
The worst part? Hmmm... It's hard to say when I'm having such a good time and travelling the world.
I'm from a small town so all these opportunities are incredible!
I'm learning to play an instrument... what was the first instrument you learnt to play, how old were you and how long did it take?
I started playing drums when I was two years old and I got my first drum kit when I was four.
I basically taught myself to play guitar as well, and later I learned to play trumpet and piano.
What's your worst habit?
If it's a habit I'd have to say I maybe eat too much candy. Ha ha!
Do you have to go to school and do homework like everybody else?
I have a tutor who travels with me on the road. School is definitely a priority of mine and I'd like to go to college one day.

Pere II de Queralt-Timor, Cor de Roure fou el segon dels Queralt-Timor, senyors de Santa Coloma. No s'en sap la data de naixement, però sí que el 1226 era un nen. Com altres dos germans seus (Jaume i Arnau) prengué l'hàbit de l'orde del Temple.

Fill d'Arnau de Timor i de Ramona, es casà amb Berenguera de Cervelló i adquirí d'aquesta família el castell d'Aguiló (1240). En morir, dividí el patrimoni entre els fills: a Pere (Pere III de Queralt) li llegà Queralt, Santa Coloma, Figuerola, entre d'altres; a Berenguer, Timor —recuperat del seu cosí Guillem—, Montlleó, Sant Antolí i d'altres possessions menors.

Participà en la conquesta de València sota les ordres de Jaume I. Ja vidu, es feu templer. Dins de l'orde assolí càrrecs molt importants: comanador de Montsó (1260 i 1262), comanador de Miravet (1262-1264), comanador de Gardeny (1265-1267) i lloctinent del mestre provincial del Temple (1261-1266).

Segons una llegenda (recollida en època moderna pel pare Miguel Conill) diu que pel seu valor en les batalles se'l conegué popularment amb el sobrenom de Cor de Roure i en l'escut d'armes familiar hi figurà des de llavors un lleó dret.

Cor de Roure
La llegenda de Pere Cor de Roure explica com Pere de Timor fou fet presoner pels sarraïns durant una ràtzia. Els enemics, que coneixien la fama de la valentia i el coratge de Pere, li van prometre la llibertat si aconseguia vèncer un lleó. Llavors, Pere va encomanar-se a la Mare de Déu de Bell-lloc i va sortir al tancat del lleó. Després d'un llarg combat, Pere aconseguí vèncer el lleó i els sarraïns, incrèduls, es veieren obligats a alliberar-lo.

En arribar a Santa Coloma de Queralt, Pere de Timor va fer ampliar i embellir el temple romànic de Santa Maria i va contractar els millors escultors del Principat de Catalunya per crear una portalada magnífica amb escenes de la Bíblia. En el capitell de la dreta, es pot observar la icona d'un cavaller medieval lluitant amb un lleó, precisament, l'origen de l'escut dels senyors, després barons i finalment comtes de Santa Coloma.

Ready to retire but worried that you won't have enough money? Don't play the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" game. Even now it's not too late to increase your income and your financial security.
1. Consider working a little longer. For the average worker, staying on the job for just two more years lowers the amount of savings you need to finance your retirement by about 25%, estimates the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Not only do you get the benefit of the additional income, but you also get a few more years to sock away money and accrue pension and Social Security benefits.
3. Downsize. Financial advisers generally recommend that you assume you'll need about 85% of your pre-retirement income after you leave your job. But it pays to do a budget dry run. By paying off your mortgage, or moving to smaller digs or a less expensive area, you may be able to increase your cash flow and get by on much less.
4. Keep 50% of your retirement savings invested in the stock market. That will protect your assets from being eaten away by inflation.
5. Delay taking Social Security. Wait till your normal retirement age to receive Social Security in order to maximize benefits. Once you reach normal retirement age, you can even receive full benefits while you continue working. If your husband's benefits are larger than yours, waiting till full retirement age to claim them will also result in bigger payouts for you as a surviving spouse.
6. Tap your home equity with a reverse mortgage. This relatively new real estate product lets you borrow against your equity and forgo repayment for as long as you stay in the house (for more information, go to www.reversemortgage.org or search "reverse mortgages" at www.hud.gov).
7. Buy an annuity. If you don't have a pension, you can guarantee a stream of income that you can't outlive by using some of your nest egg to buy an immediate-payout annuity. To see how much income you can buy, go to www.annuityshopper.com.


Mid Net Worth – A Client that Pays somewhere between £1,000 and £4,000 for their household insurance.
High Net Worth – A Client that Pays somewhere between £4,000 and £15,000 for their household insurance.
Ultra High Net Worth – A Client that Pays above £15,000 for their household insurance.
All Insurers are not the same.
The above premiums are a guide to which level of policy is likely to fit a client. However, High Net Worth Insurance Companies have different criteria and one that views a client as Mid Net Worth may be considered High Net Worth by another.
The Insurance Market has been in existence for many years and began with the likes of Hiscox recognising that there was a gap in the market for a specialist policy covering high value items. These policies were built to cover affluent individuals who were starting to collect expensive Fine Art, buy expensive jewellery or move into larger houses that cost more and more to rebuild. Over the last 20 years the High Net Worth Insurance Market has grown to more than 25 specialist Companies.
High Net Worth Insurance offers a broader, less onerous, level of cover than you are likely to find on the internet with a direct insurer. As an example, a High Net Worth Insurance policy will probably not insist that you set all disclosed security every time that you leave your property. Many direct or standard policies will have a requirement that all security is set when the property is left. This could be the difference between a burglary claim being settled or repudiated.
In addition to High Net Worth Individuals requiring household and contents insurance, they may also require High Net Worth Motor Insurance (or High Net Worth Auto Insurance). Whilst Motor Insurance can be taken out as a standalone policy, it is more usual that a combined policy is purchased by the High Net Worth Individual. Where High Value Cars can cost as much as a valued work of art, it is no surprise that specialist cover is required.
• Agreed value for vehicles, which is set at the beginning of the policy and will run for the policy term.
Most High Net Worth Insurance Policies are arranged by a specialist broker, such as McLeod Insurance. High Net Worth Insurance Brokers are specialists in dealing with High Net Worth Insurance policies. They offer a level of expertise that is not available anywhere else. A reputable broker will begin by getting to know the individual and what their requirements and needs are. They will then match these requirements to the appropriate Insurance Company. An understanding of the policy wording and the cover offered by the various insurers is essential when providing cover. The devil is very much in the detail and experience and understanding of the market is essential.

MIDDLE SCHOOL: Chambersburg 8th-grade football team finishes 8-0
Chambersburg's Kyere Morton (20) breaks tackles on his way to score against West York on Wednesday at Trojan Stadium. The Chambersburg eighth-grade football team completed an 8-0 season with a 37-6 victory over West York. Coach Jared Faith said, "Overall, I am very proud of the boys. They had a great season and played with pride. They were humble and worked hard each week and believed in each other. They embraced our mottos of 'no reset' and 'what will you think of yourself tomorrow.'" The Trojans scored first Wednesday when Brock Harmon recovered a fumble, Ethan Shreffler ran 48 yards for a score and Tyler Luther kicked the extra point. Keyshawn Jones fumbled on the next series at the Bulldog 1, but then tackled an opponent for a safety to make it 9-0. Jones later scored on a 48-yard pass from Shreffler and ran 18 yards for another TD. Brady Stumbaugh also made an interception and returned it for a score. Faith said Morton, Tucker Eker and Tyrell Williams played well on defense and Trapper Stevens made an interception, and that Cammeron Pompeii, Bryce Diller, Trent Feldman, Harmon and Mason Yeager all played good games.


As stated in the Ministry of Education's Ontario Schools, Kindergarten to Grade 12: Policy and Program Requirements, 2011, secondary school students are required to successfully complete the literacy requirement before graduating with a Secondary School Diploma. Students typically write the Ontario Secondary School Test in Grade 10. This year Grade 10 students and students in senior grades who have not yet met the literacy requirement will be expected to write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test on Thursday March 27, 2014.
The Practice Literacy Test and the OSSLT comprise of 2 booklets which include several short reading articles (informational, graphic and dialogue) as well as a number of written responses such as multiple-choice questions, short answer responses, a news report and a series of paragraphs stating an opinion. The test time allotted is 75 minutes* for each booklet with a 15 minute break between the two booklets. During the break time students are provided with snacks and drinks and they must remain on the third floor where the test is being written to ensure security. The lunch period is adjusted to permit test writers to complete the test in the allotted time. Students are expected to attend their afternoon classes after their lunch period.
In order to help prepare students for the OSSLT we held a Practice Literacy Test on Tuesday October 29th, 2013. The practice test is marked by teachers who provide valuable feedback and opportunities for students to receive additional support to help them improve their literacy skills.
Students can ensure success on the OSSLT by attending school regularly, completing all assignments, reading on a daily basis, taking advantage of opportunities to improve their literacy skills by writing the practice, following through with suggestions provided and attending in-class workshops.

Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) had a string of hit action movies in the 1970s and 1980s but those hits waned by the latter part of 1980s and he didn't make movies for a few years. Then in 1993, he starred in another action film called Cliffhanger. Based in the mountains of the Northwestern United States and filmed in the Italian Alps, the Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2) directed movie had audiences thrilled to see Stallone back to the action hero he was before. Twenty-five years later Sony Pictures has decided to release the film on 4K so it is headed to stores the middle of this month.
Gabe Walker (Stallone) is a mountain ranger with a skill for climbing and rescues. HIs girlfriend Jessie (Janine Turner; Northern Exposure) is a helicopter pilot who works with him and his best friend Hal (Michael Rooker; Guardians of the Galaxy) making rescues. When Jessie and Gabe find themselves rescuing Hal and his girlfriend, Sarah (Michelle Joyner; Outbreak), things go terribly wrong and Sarah ends up falling to her death. Hal blames Gabe for the tragedy fracturing their friendship forever.
Eight months later we see Gabe returning to the mountain simply to get the rest of his things from Jessie and severing ties with his past. While there a distress call comes into the ranger station and Jessie begs him to help since he knows those mountains better than anyone. When Gabe reluctantly agrees finally, he finds himself with Hall caught up in something much more than they ever could have imagined. It turns out there weren't any lost hikers in need of rescuing but a group of plane hijackers in need of someone to help them find their lost money. Playing a deadly game of cat and mouse Gabe must find the money before they do and save his friends from the robbers headed by Eric Qualen (John Lithgow; 3rd Rock from the Sun).
There is no denying that Stallone is one of the true action heroes of our generation and Cliffhanger reminds us why that is. Physically he was in top shape for this movie and the scenes of him climbing the mountains were impressive. Turner is an excellent compliment to him and they seem to have an easy that would make it believable that they had been romantically involved. Rooker completes this triangle nicely and Lithgow is strong as the villain in this tail.
Unfortunately, the 4K upgrade isn't exactly kind to the film as the heightened detail makes some of the backgrounds look fake. Conversely, the colors are spectacular and when the views are real they are magnificent. However, the Dolby Atmos audio fares much better with the sounds surrounding the viewer from all sides. The 4K disc doesn't house any of the extras and the Blu-ray has the same extras that were released eight years ago. These include: Audio Commentary with Director Renny Harlin and Actor Sylvester Stallone, Audio Commentary: Technical Crew including Editor Frank Urioste, Co-Visual Effects Supervisors Neil Krepela and John Bruno, and Production Designer John Vallone., A Personal Introduction from Renny Harlin, Deleted Scenes, Stallone on the Edge: The Making of Cliffhanger, Special Effect, Storyboard Comparisons, Original Theatrical Trailer, and Previews: Additional Sony titles.
If you are a Stallone fan and enjoy watching him as the action star he generally is then you would want to own this title in 4K. While the dialogue is cheesy and the story little too far fetched for my taste, Cliffhanger offered some great actions sequences and an always excellent performance from Lithgow.


Economy-wide rebound is often presented as a necessary 'evil' accompanying economic expansion triggered by energy efficiency improvements. We challenge this position in two, inter-related ways. First, we question the emphasis on potential technical energy savings and losses due to rebound in energy efficiency policy evaluation. This abstracts from the wider economic and societal impacts of energy efficiency improvements that are often positive and valuable to policy makers. Second, we propose that economic expansion and economy-wide rebound need not be highly correlated. We argue that energy efficiency actions targeted at improving the competitiveness of less energy-intensive means of providing services, such as heat and transport, may provide opportunities to boost economic activity while minimising rebound effects. This perspective involves a change in current policy and research thinking, particularly in terms of the type of substitution possibilities that we should focus on in enhancing energy efficiency, economic expansion and rebound relations.


Having encrypted data while in transit over a 10Gbps link between the US and Australia, Ericsson and Telstra are now looking towards testing the optical encryption technology over a 100Gbps link.
Telstra and Ericsson have announced achieving the encryption of data while in transit over a 10Gbps link between Australia and the United States by using telecommunications equipment and software provider Ciena's 10Gbps wire-speed ultra-low latency encryption solution.
Using what they call advanced optical encryption technology, the companies demonstrated the ability to secure data while in transit between Melbourne and Los Angeles without impacting speed, reliability, and latency.
"The outcome of this test shows that data can now be encrypted while in transit across a long distance, while maintaining the speed and reliability our customers have come to expect from our international network," said Darrin Webb, Telstra executive director of International Operations and Services.
"We will continue to work with Ericsson and Ciena to take this trial to the next level with a 100Gbps encryption test."
According to Ericsson head of Australia and New Zealand Emilio Romeo, Ericsson is providing its optical network systems knowledge to allow Telstra's progression towards commercialising this security technology.
Telstra and Ericsson said they will move onto demonstrating encryption over a 100Gbps link between LA and Melbourne over the next six months.
A year ago, they also undertook a trial of encrypting data across Telstra's Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne optical transmission network, managing to secure data as it exited the private cloud and travelled along the network.
Using Ericsson's systems integration expertise and Ciena's WaveLogic encryption product at 200Gbps speeds on Telstra's inter-city network, the trial saw the three companies secure and protect data across the high-capacity network.
According to Ciena, the end result is secure, encrypted data that does not slow down the network.
The companies have also been partnering on increasing network speeds, with Telstra, Ericsson, and Qualcomm attaining download speeds of 979Mbps and upload speeds of 129Mbps during live 4G LTE network testing in early September 2016.
In October, Telstra, Ericsson, Qualcomm, and Netgear announced their 1Gbps-capable 4G network, with the telecommunications provider conducting testing ahead of a commercial launch.
"We pride ourselves on our connectivity expertise, and we continue that tradition today by completing the first commercialisation of a gigabit-class LTE network and device," Telstra group managing director of Networks Mike Wright said in October.
Telstra's network attains 1Gbps speeds when used in conjunction with the Netgear Mobile Router MR1100m, which runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X16 LTE modem and Qualcomm's Wi-Fi solution.
Telstra and Ericsson's live 5G trial also attained download speeds of between 18Gbps and 22Gbps back in September.
Conducted in a real-world outdoor environment using Ericsson's 5G radio testbed, the 20Gbps speeds were split between two mobile devices, with each one getting around 10Gbps download speeds thanks to the use of Massive MIMO, which sends multiple channels of data at the same time, allowing users to have peak performances simultaneously.
Telstra and Ericsson in February 2016 announced that they will conduct a trial run of Telstra's 5G network during the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast, with Telstra's team of network engineers temporarily transferred to Ericsson's Sweden-based research lab as part of the deal.
The two companies announced their 5G network in 2015, later confirming its launch by 2020.


Our local Asian grocery stocks black soy beans, and I thought it might be nice to use them instead of regular black beans in a chili to make it lower carb. If you don't have black soybeans, you could use the more common white ones or even edamame (green soybeans).
Soy beans are a bit more firm than most other beans, so to get them nice and soft it's important to first soak the dry beans for at least 12 hours and then cook them for about 90 minutes on low heat. If you have a pressure cooker, 45 minutes in there would be even better to soften them up. If you find canned soybeans somewhere, feel free to use those!
Serve the chili by itself or pack it into low carb wraps. It will taste even better with some sliced avocado and vegan cheese.
First reconstitute the tvp. Put it into a small saucepan and add water until it is almost submerged. Add the soy sauce. Bring it to a boil and cook for five minutes until the water has been absorbed and the tvp is soft. Set the tvp aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot on medium high heat. Sauté the peppers and reconstituted tvp for about five minutes until the peppers soften. Add the garlic and continue to sauté for another minute. Add the other ingredients and bring the chili to a boil. Turn down the heat and let the chili cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with additional chili powder and salt if you want.
One serving (1/4 recipe) contains about 350 kcal, 14 g fat (2 g saturated), 22 g carbohydrate, 10 g fiber, 28 g protein.

Producer Suzi Analogue has always connected to the more tangible elements of the creative process. Her moniker is a nod to her obsession with analog music gear—which she frequently shares with others by teaching various workshops around the world—and she would rather spend hours flipping through albums in a dusty record store than scroll online to find new music. Plus, her label, Never Normal Records, which she started four years ago in New York City, primarily releases music on cassette and vinyl, an anomalous strategy in today's streaming-dominated industry.
Analogue's latest creative venture, much like her music, brings together various elements of her life in a multifaceted package: She just announced a new collective, Never Normal Soundsystem, alongside a zine, a one-off clothing collection, and a stream of singles, which are all out now. Analogue and her crew—which includes Teklife's DJ Earl, Brooklyn-based artist Ziggee Gold (who also creative-directed the zine), Washington, D.C.-based rapper Nappy Nappa, and Atlanta-based multi-instrumentalist No Eyes—took over Brooklyn venue H0l0 last weekend for a shoppable showcase.
On the back side of each garment is the collective's mantra, "The only good system is a sound system"—a phrase that Analogue overheard one day that has stuck with her ever since. "There are so many divisive and destructive systems in our society that aren't really made with the people in mind; but sound and music, for those of us fortunate to be able to hear it, is always made with the people in mind," Analogue says. "Without fail, it brings people together." Take a look at the collective's new zine, above, and pay special attention to the carefully crafted apparel that each member sports—then hurry to the online store and snag one of the limited pieces for yourself before they disappear.

Material Transfer Agreement Process Committee
Subject: Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) Process Committee
By campus notice dated 8/7/00, you were advised that a special committee had been charged by the Vice Chancellor Research and the Vice Chancellor Resource Management and Planning to review current practices of the campus relative to incoming and outgoing transfers of research materials with the goal of identifying and resolving process and other related issues. To date, the MTA committee has met on several occasions and discussed the current MTA processes in detail. We have also considered the comments and suggestions which you provided to us in response to our request for input. We have the following progress to report:
1. The development of an MTA-dedicated webpage has been recommended which will be linked to and accessible from both the Office of Contract and Grant Administration (OCGA) home page (ocga2.ucsd.edu) and the Technology Transfer & Intellectual Property Services (TTIPS) home page (http://invent.ucsd.edu). In the interim, a test site has been developed which can be accessed through the "Material Transfer" reference which has been added to both sites and is accessible from each home page. Please view the progress to date and give us your input by accessing the test site from the home page of either office. The site will continue to be populated with the goal of becoming a comprehensive information center for researchers and departments.
2. OCGA and TTIPS processes and forms have been reviewed and streamlined for both receiving and sending research materials.
Specifically, there will be two separate requests for information forms - one for incoming and one for outgoing. For ease of use, the forms are consistent when requesting routine administrative information, but the two forms now include questions which have been specifically tailored to address the individual issues associated with incoming versus outgoing transfers.
Revised procedures have also been completed for receiving research materials. Changes made to expedite the process include post-review of animal subjects and environmental health and safety issues. Further, questions on the mta questionnaire have been revised to provide information which may allow acceptance of agreements without changes based on the anticipated use of the material. We hope that the revised forms and procedures will more clearly focus on individual types of agreements so that the approval process for materials will be more easily understood and accomplished.
Procedures for sending out UCSD developed research materials have been reviewed. The committee is continuing discussions on the topic of streamlining this process. The goal of such discussions is to determine whether it is feasible to establish specific criteria for certain categories of material which would allow investigators to directly provide such material to requesters with the use of a simple cover letter or a "shrink-wrap" type of agreement and without prior administrative approvals. We hope to complete this effort in the next few months.
3. Investigators will be sent an acknowledgment by email once the mta paperwork has reached the OCGA or TTIPS. The acknowledgment will include a reminder that the researcher may contact the OCGA or TTIPS at any time during the process to obtain a status on the completion of the documentation.
4. The OCGA and TTIPS will be establishing a joint listserv of researchers with incoming and outgoing material transfer agreements. Other researchers will be able to subscribe or be added to the list upon request. The list will be used to provide information of general interest to researchers involved in both incoming and outgoing transfers, including updates on the status of master agreements which have been negotiated for use by all of the UC campuses, problematic providers of material, NIH policies on transfers of material, etc.
Once the list has been compiled with existing data, a campus announcement will be sent out advising the procedure for subscribing or unsubscribing to the listserv.
5. The committee is also recommending that information sessions be offered by OCGA and TTIPS to both departments and researchers which would be tailored to the specific needs of the requester. If you have other suggestions regarding such sessions, the committee would appreciate hearing from you.
6. As noted above, the committee still has a few action items to complete. However, based on the fact that the members of the committee have acquired both an appreciation of the intellectual property and research issues involved and also a detailed knowledge of the mta process at UCSD, the MTA committee members have agreed to remain available on a continuing basis to assist both the OCGA and TTIPS in discussing other future issues which may arise in the academic community associated with the receipt and sending of research materials.
Please feel free to contact me (wak@mpl.ucsd.edu) if you wish additional information. If you wish to contact any of the members of the MTA committee directly with your comments or suggestions, please see the list of members below.

Before we get into this, if you're not following KXNG Crooked AKA Crooked I on Twitter, you're missing out on one of the most active accounts on the service full of daily gems. Now that's out of the way, the big news is that the West Coast wordsmith has announced he's leaving Slaughterhouse but says there's no bad blood.
Crooked took to his IG page to break the news, saying in so many words that the group's inactivity and his own desire to get moving onto music is the reason but wants the team that remains to keep winning. Group member Joe Budden has said repeatedly he's done with rhyming as he's off into the media side of things. Royce Da 5'9 is still dropping projects and Joell Ortiz still has joints in the can. The last song the quartet appeared on with one another was "Chopping Block" from Royce's Bar Exam 4 mixtape.
Peep the video announcement below.

With more than 350,000 square feet of pure hands-on science fun, it's easy to see why the Science Museum is considered to be one of Oklahoma's best and most creative museums.
We've got some great ideas to keep the entire family entertained over spring break.
The OKC Zoo covers more than 100 acres and has ~1900 animals in a wide array of habitats.
Originally a humble planetarium, the Oklahoma Science Museum has grown to be Oklahoma's largest (and most fun!) testament to the joys of science of all kinds.

Wounded Falcons Show Up in Prime Time
Atlanta Falcons NFL
Posted by Greg Collier October 7, 2020 mode_comment0
The Atlanta Falcons made history in the wrong direction by losing back to back games after leading by fifteen points in the fourth quarter. Tonight they were thrust into prime time like a Monday night feast for the Green Bay Packers. The night ended the way it started, one team undefeated, and the other defeated and perhaps deflated. Officially the season has gone from bad to worse for the Falcons
The facts speak for themselves an understatement to say this talented team does not play up to their potential. They can't figure out how to get from point A to B. The Green Bay Packers made it look easy running out to a 30-16 victory.
It wasn't much of a game; Aaron Rodgers carved them up, and it wasn't even Thanksgiving. While it is true, the Falcons limped into the game with a wounded back end, no safety Keanu Neal nor safety Ricardo Allen. To make matters worse, the replacement Demontae Kazee went down to injury as well. It's tough to win in the NFL when you play with the back up to the backup. If it's not true, it makes for a good excuse for Head Coach Dan Quinn as the temperature on his seat is warming up facing a 0-4 record.
Quinn was asked if he's feeling the pressure after the team started 0-4:
"Yeah, I think so, but, you know, knowing where we're at, it's certainly not the start that any of us envisioned or wanted, and it's confusing, it's frustrating for everybody. But, I also told them, it's the people inside the locker room that get to fix that and get to change that. Nothing's been decided. Our division starts here. All our focus, all our energy just is on to Carolina. That's how it has to be. And we can't do things other than correct the mistakes and put all of our focus into this game. That's our intent, and that's what we'll do."
The Green Bay Packers were without some of their top weapons (WR) Davante Adams, (WR) Allen Lazard, and (TE) Marcedes Lewis, but they didn't miss a beat. It was poetry in motion. On the other hand, the Falcons defense was out of position or just plain lost. It was so bad Jamal Carter tackled Robert Tonyan twenty yards from the endzone. He got up and caught a wide-open touchdown pass.
The highlight of the game was a Falcons' drive that lasted 20 plays extending 94 yards and lasted 10:36; unfortunately, it ended with a successful field goal by Elliot Fry, promoted from the practice squad filling in for an injured Younhoe Koo.
Matt Ryan on whether this team can dig out of this hole:
"I believe so. I have been around a long time. Times can be tough; that is for sure. I've gone through some of those in my career. I also know that momentum can happen quickly, and the ability to rip off a few wins in a row is something that we are capable of doing. We have to get it started now, and we have to find a way to get it done this week."
Aaron Rodgers performed splendidly, connecting on 27 of 33 passes for 327 yards and 4 touchdowns. Symbolic of the next man's philosophy up undrafted (TE), Robert Tonyan had a career night catching three of those touchdown passes.
Julio Jones surpassed Roddy White to become the Falcons all-time leader in receptions, but he didn't return from the locker room due to that ailing hamstring.
As bad as it sounds with a 0-4 record, there is a shining light. There are twelve more games, and conference play starts Sunday in Atlanta against rival the Carolina Panthers.

Oh, the humanity
(thing) by Codepie Fri May 11 2001 at 15:34:38
May 6th, 1937, Lakehurst, New Jersey. The mighty German Zeppelin, the Hindenburg, is attempting a mooring. At that point it is certainly Nazi Germany's finest airship. This is not the airship's first trip, and friends and family are at Lakehurst waiting for the arrival of the zeppelin. Herb Morrison is there reporting. Morrison is also recording the event for later rebroadcast. As the zeppelin arrives, Morrison is describing the event - then suddenly, it bursts into flames. Morrison is shocked, but keeps talking though breaking occasionally overcome by the tragedy. It's stated that it is radio news at its finest, news events that are reported as they are happeneing. This event reflected what was to come with radio broadcasting immediately before and during World War II. The entire broadcast follows:
« Here it comes, ladies and gentlemen, and what a sight
it is, a thrilling one, just a marvellous sight. It is
coming down out of the sky pointed toward us, and
towards the mooring mast. The mighty diesel motors
roar, the propellers biting into the air and throwing
it back into gale-like whirlpools...
"No one wonders that this great floating palace can travel
through the air at such speed with these powerful
motors behind it. The sun is striking the windows of
the observation deck on the eastward side and sparkling
like glittering jewels against a background of black
velvet...
"It's burst into flames! Get this, Charlie, get this,
Charlie. Get out of the way, please, oh, my, this is
terrible, oh, my, get out of the way, please! It is
burning, bursting into flames and is falling on the
mooring mast and all the folks we... this is one of the
worst catastrophes in the world! Oh, it's four or five
hundred feet into the sky, it's a terrific crash,
ladies and gentlemen. (It's soaking in flames now)
Oh, the humanity! »
- Herbert Morrison, Lakehurst, New Jersey, May 6, 1937, 7:25 pm.
Oh, the emotion...
I like it! 3 C!s
(idea) by Any Sat Feb 01 2003 at 17:34:11
Herbert Morrison was working for WLS Chicago when he covered the Hindenburg fire at Lakehurst Naval Station on 6 May 1937. His famous rapid-fire description of the unfolding tragedy got him fired for being too emotional—despite the fact that NBC, which had had a strict policy against airing recordings, made its first-ever exception for him in what was also the nation's first coast-to-coast broadcast. Not surprisingly, he somehow managed to find work at NBC after his firing and have a respectable career as a radio reporter thereafter.
I like it! 1 C!
(idea) by enkidu Sat Feb 01 2003 at 19:08:51
This expression, although it appears to have originated with a newscast during the explosion of the Hindenburg, is often taken out of context nowadays. It is generally used in an "ironic" or exaggerated tone, and it's likely that users don't know its history. Examples:
enkidu: I just wrote a script that will auto-node all the comments posted to slashdot in real time.
nate: Oh, the humanity!
"The Beatles' Revolution is being used in an ad for one of the largest corporations on the planet! Oh, the humanity!"
Real life example: The first match on Google for "oh the humanity" turns up a site reviewing bad movies.
The expression conveys that something truly disturbing has happened, although it doesn't necessarily have to do with humans or the loss of human life, and the speaker is being somewhat mocking and melodramatic.

Paul Flores, of The Public Space Initiative – Moon Viewing Project. Their non-profit goal is to put a network of tube and cube sats in low earth orbit and lunar orbit for 24 hour live video.
The guys chat about the distrust of NASA and other agencies and the reason a public space program is needed and will work. The many challenges with getting something into orbit and some of the major ufo sightings out there. Paul seems to be doing this the right way, proper planning and marketing before funding launch and a board of directors to ensure public interaction.
My Ghost Stories. Matt Swayne is coming in the show next to chat about his book "Haunted Rock&Roll" and many things paranormal. Graham asks FM about shooting Sasq…..and of course, as usual he has another little synchronicity to share. Actually involves Grahamerica!!
This is insane, I'm from mexico and over here there was (or is) a radio show like kim harold's the campfire called "la mano peluda" ("The Hairy hand", you should ask RPJ about it) where people call in and tell their paranormal experiences and many stories were about people finding these creatures in the woods crying like babies and when picked up they would terrify the rescuer by speaking in a deep voice or saying horrible teeth or facial features. Strangely enough there are many stories I've heard about this, never knew it was an international phenomena!

A Renaissance. A Game Changer. A Future.
more than just a new home.
The synergy created by linking the past, the present, and our city will be the catalyst for changing the way the MSO does business and engages with our community. Our patrons and our community as a whole will have a new way to be connected to the music, to the artists, and to each other.
The Milwaukee Symphony Center will be a source of, and a destination for, artistry and inspiration offering opportunities that foster learning, connecting, and experiencing performances in a new way.
Learning — The possibilities for learning opportunities in Milwaukee Symphony Center are endless. From permanent "instrument petting zoo" installations to live feeds of rehearsals to state-of-the-art multimedia and multisensory capabilities, the MSO can tailor its educational offerings to every constituency.
Connecting — The audience will be able to connect to the music in a brand new way. The new center will foster a sense of oneness with the music and the artists. Audience members will also have the opportunity to connect with one another through peer-to-peer, family, and social event activities.
Experiencing — Audience members want more than just a concert; they want an innovative concert experience. The historic theater will be restored to preserve its exceptional acoustics and opulent architecture while delivering a state-of-the-art concert experience to help them feel they are part of the music.
In addition to allowing the MSO to control its own destiny through fiscal sustainability and freedom in scheduling, a new hall will grow and improve the MSO artistically through rehearsal and performance in an acoustically superior hall. Performance halls are instruments that respond and resonate to the sound that its performers produce. By making the music more vivid, clear, and exciting, a great concert hall impresses a memorable auditory image on both musicians and audience members.
Supporting the new Milwaukee Symphony Center project is making an investment in the greatness of Milwaukee. The MSO is uniquely positioned to bring an influx of 1,750 patrons each weekend over 40 weekends each year to West Wisconsin Avenue.
Potential for the new Milwaukee Symphony Center extends beyond the renovation of a physical building.
Milwaukee's performing arts scene is truly among the most vibrant and culturally significant in the country. As one of the state's premier cultural institutions, the MSO is often the gateway that brings more people of all walks of life to appreciate the performing arts. And without it, Milwaukee's relevance as great place to live, work, and play would be diminished. It's fitting that the new Milwaukee Symphony Center will create more space and experiences needed to move, motivate, and enlighten both longstanding patrons and brand-new audiences of the performing arts.
By selecting this location, the MSO is making the choice to maintain the integrity of an existing cultural, historic, and architectural treasure, eliminating the further deterioration of a city landmark, and transforming it into an opportunity for economic and organizational development.
