AP Source: Benoit, Tigers agree to 3-year deal
Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that reliever Joaquin Benoit and the Detroit Tigers have reached a preliminary agreement on a $16.5 million, three-year contract.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal had not yet been announced.
The 33-year-old right-hander was 1-2 with a 1.34 ERA and 75 strikeouts in 60 1-3 innings this year as setup man for Rafael Soriano, who also became a free agent.
Agents Sam and Seth Levinson negotiated the agreement with the Tigers after reaching deals with Detroit for Braden Inge and Jhonny Peralta since the end of the season.

GOOD SEO = Unstoppable Traffic = Money
This one I forgot for almost a month to optimize my site traffic performance. Meta Title, Keywords, and Description should be optimized to get maximum indexed by search engine. Play it with simple code modification, If you have dynamic site this can be done in easy by just change some parameters to optimize all that meta.
Example: Said you have a gaming site, By default all headers only optimized by fixed meta title, keyword, and description. I recommended you to change that fixed meta with dynamic meta.
How? Simple! give it at least game title on your page title it should optimized SEO if you familiar with php or html this can be done very easy. Play also with keywords and description make it more optimized by keyword search.
The last thing for SEO today is almost lot of search engine love to indexed ".html" more than indexed ".php?id=" If you're running php site this can be fixed by mod rewrite. Sorry I can't tell you totally 100% how you can change that ".php?id=" to become ".html" I just prefer you to search it on google on how you can make it, This way is recommended for you if you like to optimize your SEO.
This might not become a big attention for some webmaster but if you know how it works why you're not try it. I'll guarantee you will get more traffic after you optimized this meta.

This weekend I read an article in the Boston Globe entitled, "Maternity wards are moving away from nurseries." Did you, by chance, read the same article?
The backlash described in this story made me think about our Boulder, CO area hospitals where rooming-in was made standard practice years ago. The rational and evidence behind this shift is now well understood among our local birthing families. Mothers are not surprised to learn that they'll be rooming-in with their newborn babies. In fact, they welcome it!
Such a shift required a dedicated effort from all parties, yielding positive outcomes and thus healthier families, research shows. However, as with most new initiatives, there can be an expected amount of resistance. The question is: How much stress needs to be endured along the way?
When your hospital or birth center initiates a transition in protocol — especially a protocol that has been engrained in the culture of care for decades — getting all stakeholders aligned can be rough, as evidenced by the overarching sentiment in this weekend's Boston Globe article, "Changing culture is hard,'' says Lori Pugsley, nurse director of the Mass. General Obstetrics Unit and Special Care Nurseries.
What would make these types of transitions easier for everyone involved? At iBirth™, we believe knowledge-sharing plays an essential role.
WHAT IF as soon as you learned that your clients were experiencing a gap in expectations around what you do and why you do it, you could address such gaps proactively for the next clients?
With iBirth™ App, you can!
Take for instance our Tips and Lists section.
With our custom designed Tips and Lists Section of the iBirth™ App, your wise, helpful, tried and true pearls of wisdom are available to your clients day and night, 24/7. You and your staff are able to organize your very own knowledge and wisdom, therefore providing your clients proactive intervention, right when they need it most.
For hospitals transitioning to new rooming-in protocols, we make it easy for you. To start, our app is aligned with the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. To take it a step further, in an effort to create an environment of more personalized care, what would you put in the Tips and Lists section of your iBirth™ App? How would you speak to the expectation gaps your clients are currently experiencing?

Bolt Problems
danwize posted a topic in Saiga .410I just got a Saiga .410 from my cousin and I'm having trouble loading it. When I push the bolt hold open button and pull back on the charging handle, the bolt goes forward at least 1/4 of the way forward before the hold open catches it. Because of this I can't load a mag, unless I hold the bolt back with one hand while inserting it. Is this common? Am I doing something wrong or do I need to have that fixed?

China's Wind Energy Output Dropped In 2014
January 28th, 2015 by Joshua S Hill
The electricity generated by China's wind energy capacity fell by 5.2% in 2014, according to the country's National Energy Administration.
The news, reported by Wind Power Monthly, states that the average uptime for projects of 6 MW and over across the country was 1,905 hours. The decline in generation came due to curtailments and weaker wind conditions throughout the northern provinces of Jilin and Gansu.
Specifically, the regions of Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, and Xinjiang were all reported to have performed well — with Xinjiang registering an average uptime of 2,094 hours, and Fujian, in southeast China, registering the highest uptime of 2,530 hours.
This news adds credence to the American Wind Energy Association's views that America, rather than China, is in fact the premiere wind energy giant in the world.
Twice now, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has published a blog post by James Walker, a member of the AWEA, about the competition between the US and China. Many automatically assume China to be world number one in wind energy, installing 20.7 GW of wind energy, compared to America's 4.7 GW.
However, when talking about energy generated, the AWEA points out that the US is well ahead of China — 20%, to be exact; 167 billion kWh compared to 138 billion kWh.
While China's total wind energy capacity sits at 96 GW, for whatever reason, it doesn't appear to be doing the job it needs to be doing.

Talk:Jamides euchylas
Nomenclature of Jamides euchylas[edit]
Jamides euchylas Hubner, [1819] is the widely recognised name for this species. Hubner originated the name as a replacement for hylas (Cramer/Stoll) which was pre-occupied. However, Herbst, 1800, also created a replacement name for hylas (Cramer/Stoll) and so his action predates that of Hubner. Herbst's name is Jamides hylassus.
The only mentions of hylassus however, since 1800 appear to be Kirby, 1872 and 1877, and Swinhoe, 1916. The later euchylas was used by Fruhstorfer and subsequently by Tite in 1960, and by all subsequent authors. Despite this prevalent current usage, the ICZN is unlikely (G. Lamas, pers. comm.) to reverse the precedence to conserve the acceptance of euchylas.
Strictly according to ICZN, the correct name for this species is Jamides hylassus Herbst, 1800. I have created a page for Jamides hylassus, but it simply redirects here at present waiting follow-up action from a keen taxonomist somewhere. Accassidy (talk) 08:44, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

COLUMBUS – Super Bowl Sunday is historically a day when friends and family gather. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is urging fans to be safe this Sunday by refraining from driving impaired. If you plan on consuming alcohol, be sure to designate a sober driver to get you home safely.
Help others make the same decision by remembering that Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk. If you host a Super Bowl party, make sure your guests have a safe and sober way home, and do not serve alcohol to anyone under 21 years of age.
During last year's Super Bowl, the Patrol made 66 OVI arrests from Feb.5, 2017, at 6 a.m. through Feb. 6, 2017, at 6 a.m. During the 24-hour reporting period, there were four fatalities and 135 injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Three of the traffic fatalities and 21 of the injuries were OVI- related.
"The Patrol is committed to removing impaired drivers from our roadways," said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. "Your decision to not drive impaired shows that you value your own safety as well as the safety of motorists around you. You can also influence your friends and family to make the same choice."
The public is encouraged to use #677 to report dangerous or impaired drivers, as well as drug activity.

Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young didn't mean to write a memoir. It just kind of happened after he realized his four kids --who were all born after his NFL career ended -- didn't know the full story of his life in football.
"I don't have a journal, I don't have a diary, I don't have a record," Steve says. "I never intended to make a book, I just wanted to hand them something. And so last week when they had these come out, I just took my book and gave it to the kids and said, "Look, this is really for you.'"
His book, QB: My Life Behind the Spiral, tells many fascinating stories from his life, including touching on his battle with separation anxiety, which started as a kid and came up again during his football career when he had to travel so much.
Watch the video above to hear about his decision to get a law degree after making it big in football and the strangest interactions he had during his time with the NFL.
After they chatted, Rach also wanted to find out if Steve's arm still has that magic – check out what happened when she challenged him to a football throwing target game in the video below:

'The silent door slams shut it seems

Ben lingers, wishing he could write that on the crumbling plaster of the old wall. For a second, it makes him smile …
It is easy to get caught in a web of frustration and despair when life seems to wander off at a tangent and do its own thing without bothering to consult you. It isn't always easy to see the positive side of change, not when you are stuck in the middle of it and trying to juggle the consequences and understand a whole new game plan…especially when the game, as well as the rules, seems to have changed.
There are those who revel in the adventure of new challenges, others prefer familiar terrain rather than a tangential path, but sometimes the unexpected happens and change occurs, whether you like it or not. When it comes, you have two basic options… fight it tooth and nail in an attempt to maintain as much of the status quo as you can, or embrace it and see where it takes you. There is

Alaksandraŭščyna - is a village of Zel'va district, Grodno region of Belarus. The main attraction of the village of Alaksandraŭščyna is the manor house, originally built here in 1859. In the 1920s, when the village of Alaksandraŭščyna was part of the interwar Poland, the then owners of the estate transferred it to the agricultural school, which was located here. During the Second World War, a German garrison was located in the estate in the village of Alaksandraŭščyna. After the war, a school was organized here, which functioned until 2004. Then unsuccessful attempts were made to organize a tourist base for children in the estate in the village of Alaksandraŭščyna. At the moment, attempts are being made to turn this estate into a tourist complex with a museum of ethnography.
The building of the manor in the village of Alaksandraŭščyna is in a strong condition, it is partially repaired, but it needs further restoration. The building is transferred to private ownership, there are plans for further restoration of the estate. Nevertheless, already now, as yet a small exposition of this future museum, is available for tourists and travelers in the partially renovated part of the building.
The buildings of the economic purpose and the fragments of the park that used to belong to the manor in the village of Alaksandraŭščyna have not survived to the present day. Thus, today the estate in the village of Alaksandraŭščyna is an interesting architectural monument, a cultural and historical value and a landmark of Belarus. And in the future this place should turn into a very attractive and informative tourist site.

Ask a Fool: IRA vs. 401(k), which is the better choice
If your employer's 401(k) or similar retirement plan offers matching contributions, you should be contributing enough to take full advantage of this. In other words, if your employer is willing to match your contributions up to 5% of your salary, this is the least you should be contributing.
Assuming that you're doing this, you can then put your additional contributions into your plan or an IRA, and both options have advantages.
The obvious advantage of increasing your 401(k) contributions is simplicity. All of your retirement savings will continue to be in one place, and 401(k) investments require minimal maintenance.
On the other hand, an IRA can give you far more control over your retirement savings. While 401(k) investments are generally limited to a selection of a few dozen mutual funds at best, in an IRA, you can choose from virtually any stock, bond, or mutual fund you want. If you want to put some of your retirement savings in Apple stock, you can do that in an IRA. There are also a few reasons you can tap into your IRA early that don't apply to your 401(k).
One word of caution is that if you are covered by an employer's retirement plan, your ability to take a traditional IRA tax deduction is limited, and Roth IRA contributions are income-restricted for everyone. So, before you consider an IRA as an option, check the current income limits and make sure you're legally allowed to participate.

The Devil's Heart
by Candace Osmond
When Dianna breaks an enchanted ship-in-a-bottle she's washed away to the past, to 1707 Newfoundland where she's taken prisoner aboard a pirate ship. The Devil's Heart.
Fans of OUTLANDER and PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN give praise for The Devil's Heart
After ten long years, Dianna Cobham reluctantly heads home to Newfoundland for her father's funeral. While sorting through the estate, she discovers her family's ancestral ties to ruthless pirates through a series of 300-year-old journal entries and an old chest of belongings.
One evening, after too much rum, Dianna accidentally breaks one of the items in the chest, an old ship-in-a-bottle. Within minutes, a tidal wave crashes through the oceanside home, washing her away to sea…and to the past. 1707 Newfoundland, the pinnacle of piracy on the Atlantic Ocean.
Dianna is soon taken prisoner aboard The Devil's Heart, a pirate ship led by the callous Captain Devil Eyed Barrett. With luck and wit, Dianna earns their trust and gains a spot on the crew as their cook. But luck won't help her when she learns of the crew's plan to seek and destroy their enemy, Dianna's direct ancestors. For years, they'd been trapped by Celtic magic, contained inside an enchanted ship-in-a-bottle, and she unknowingly set them free.
Now, her mission of returning home transforms into an elaborate plan to save her lineage. Can Dianna convince the crew to change their minds? There's only one way to charm a bunch of blood-thirsty pirates; through their captain. But can she tame the devil's heart before it's too late? Or will she sacrifice herself to save the man hidden underneath it all?

I lost consciousness over the period of a decade or two. I could blame it on many things: marriage, kids, the quiet comfort of the suburbs. But really, it was all my doing.
I let myself drip into the ease of not making decisions; not being fully alive. I morphed into a reactor of things instead of a pro-actor.
It's easy to slide into that purgatory of letting life happen to you, and I have a feeling if we look around, the majority of people have gotten there. It's almost encouraged in our society. We are taught to listen, listen, listen. Follow, follow, follow. Don't break rules! Get good grades! Make your life look perfect on paper!
It wasn't until I was in my 30's that I started waking up a little bit and thinking about the rules I had lived by for so long – the stories I had had drilled in, and consequently believed as truth. Some of these were:
- You must do everything of consequence in your 20's, because big life changes are only appropriate in that timeframe.
- You must hold a steady 9-5 job, or you shall make no money.
- Parenting and making art don't mix. As soon as you pop the kids out, your entire world is all about them.
- Marriage and parenting in a suburb cause you to lose your identity and become a non-creative, lawn-obsessed boob.
- And then I think maybe it was too painful, so I went back to sleep for a while. Ignored the feelings that I didn't yet know how to handle. Drank a little more, napped a little more, Targeted a lot more. Facebooked. I chose comforting myself over growing myself, and that led to more of nothing.
Although my life I have been curious about self help books, and read them hungrily, I never was quite brave enough to put all of those concepts into play in my life. Too scary. Shut the book at the end, take a deep breath at recognizing the truths I had just read, flip off my brain, and go about my business.
My wake up came just a few years ago, maybe 3? I'm 45 years old. Wondering what the fuck? How the fuck? What happened? I discovered Brooke Castillo interviewed on a podcast, and she sounded smart and tough and wise and vulnerable and clear. These are all the things I wanted to be – to learn to be.
After listening to one of her podcast episodes, I was hooked. Hooked on listening to her, absorbing, learning.
The thing about Brooke, though, is that she demands you to put into action what you are learning from her. She calls you out on inaction, right through the little speakers of your earbuds.
It took me a while even after I started listening to her, but then I slowly started to do the work on myself. I began to write things out, sit with my feelings, observe them, and think about them. I listened to some of her episodes over and over and wrote down things she said word-for-word. I'm writing this like it's in the past, but I'm currently doing all of this. I do this daily.
I am feeling my little brain yawning and stretching and dusting itself off. Sometimes I am feeling my brain growling at me because I challenge its warnings and murmurs to go take a nap and hide. I am feeling my intuition perk up a little bit, and I'm paying attention to it.
I can see myself making different decisions, acting differently, saying different things than I used to, and it's crazy. Crazy in a good way- I actually feel proud of myself!
Mostly I'm feeling insanely grateful that I can do this at all- that I haven't buried myself completely and irrevocably.
All this to say I am going to start sharing with you all what I am learning. And I want to share it in a way that will help if you are feeling the same way most of us feel at some point. Are you? Do you have that niggling little voice telling you to wake up, that there's something more you might be missing?
Good. That means you are feeling and wondering, and I'm no life coach or self help guru, but sometimes it's more powerful to learn from someone who is going through the trenches right along with you. I want to discuss these ideas with you all, and more importantly, discuss how we are putting them into action.
Because we can learn self-help concepts up and down all day long, but nothing happens if you then go on about your day the same way you always have. My biggest problem in learning new concepts is that they all make sense and sound amazing when I learn about them, but then I'm left wondering how to actually apply them to my life.
I'm going to begin to create a little library here – of consciousness concepts that we can learn about and talk about, and I'm going to include the ways I've learned to put them to use in our lives. Good, right? I'm doing this as much for me as for you guys- I need somewhere to refer back to when I need a little boost or reminder.
What do you think? You in? If not, I won't be offended – go read some Lifewhack Life Lessons and release some endorphins laughing at the silliness of life.

Ark Patrol grew up on an island of Hawaii before moving to Boston to complete his first year at Berklee College of Music. He's provided a definition of absolute youth, recreating and reinterpreting the tropical aura of Oahu. Taking inspiration from a generation who is heavily absorbed in virtual realities, Ark Patrol commands series of computer-generated beeps as if collecting golden 8 bit coins on a pixie flight across the Pacific Ocean. He glides in and out of rich chords, forces us to hold our breath, and releases all emotional wind like a whisper on fallen leaves.
His debut album Voyager was released at the end of 2014 on Netherlands based record label Heroic Recordings. It possessed the air of the island, a feel as pleasant and mesmerizing as any equatorial vacation. "Never" served as the most anticipated track of the album, receiving support from Denver based cyber honcho EDM.com and curator Mr. Suicide Sheep. The track is detailed with energetic synths, chimes, and snippets of vocals that perpetuate summertime regardless of whatever maelstrom ahead. His remix of Eastside's "Ellie" is also a strong representation of Ark Patrol's influences of soul, electronica, and atmospheric pleasures.
Now that the 20 year old is pushing the boundaries of his individuality in Los Angeles, his "dream-meets-arcade" style is about to take a step forward. Here is the premiere of his newest single "Let Go" alongside vocalist Veronika Redd. "Let Go" transforms preconceptions of future music and incorporates classical elements from lead guitar to pianist. Accompanied by entrancing vocals, Ark Patrol becomes the conductor of heavenly "soultronica". Stay tuned for an exclusive listen until the track is out on Heroic Recordings April 14th.

As a little girl there were always animals around as part of the family. My Dad would bring back waifs and strays that he came across either through his work or visiting friends in Liverpool and as a family we have continued that tradition.
Despite serving 24 years in the RAF, pets came first and went with me wherever I was posted to, including across to Denmark for 3 years. Alongside the RAF, I was re-homing officer for the RSPCA in North Northumberland (since merged with Newcastle) and after leaving the Service I worked as a veterinary assistant.
I currently own 2 dogs (Pip, a Border Terrier and Daisy, a Lhasa Apso) 5 cats (Poppy, Josie, Raffy, Samson and Delilah) and a large lop-eared rabbit called Barney.
I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits and looked after rats and mice as well.So now I am free to do whatever I wish and I choose to provide a quality service, looking after your pets when you have to go away.
I have always appreciated those people who have looked after my pets when I have had to be away from home for work or a holiday, knowing that my animals are in safe hands has always been a top priority for me and I aim to provide my clients with the same peace of mind; that their pets are being well looked after, to a high standard, in their home environment, making their owner's absence as stress free as possible.
We now offer a House Sitting Service and all our house sitters are Police Checked.

I'm Claire, a 24-year-old transgender woman from Pittsburgh. Genital Reconstruction Surgery is an incredibly important step forward for my personal health, and it's a closer goal than I ever thought possible.
My insurance is going to cover a surprisingly large amount of the cost of surgery, but there are other expenses besides the surgery itself, and I am struggling financially. I do have a small personal savings that I will be putting towards this, but the money I'm raising here will cover what my savings doesn't.
All donations will go toward these expenses:
-My out-of-pocket deductible for the surgery itself
-(Affordable) lodging in Michigan, where I will need to stay while I recover
-Electrolysis hair removal (required by the surgeon, I have already put quite a lot of money into this)
-Any additional medical bills, office visits, follow-up appointments, et cetera
I am so, so close to being able to do what I'd previously thought to be just a far-off dream. Thank you for reading, spreading the word, and donating! :)

A recent report from Island Health states that the rate of medically assisted deaths on Vancouver Island is about five times higher than in the rest of Canada.
Why? Why would so many choose to die early?
Dr. David Robertson, executive medical director for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for Island Health co-authored the report and suggests demographic and social factors likely play a role and that "BC has a long history of legal and social activism in favour of assisted dying, and the level of awareness of MAID is very high across the province."
Think of Sue Rodriguez.
But perhaps there are avoidable reasons that life becomes intolerable. Dr. Helen Hays has been awarded the Alberta Order of Excellence and the Order of Canada for her pioneering work on palliative care. She contends that there is a severe imbalance in Palliative Care available to patients across the country, that resources are unevenly assigned. The system is fragile.
Perhaps if quality palliative care was available everywhere fewer would chose to give up their last days.
Join the Philosophers' Café Wednesday, Jan. 9, 7-8 p.m. as Hays helps us explore the options facing a person with a life-threatening or life limiting condition.
Once a month, at Berwick By The Sea's Tyee Lounge, a speaker will introduce a theme to the Café, and then all who attend can join in respectful, non-partisan conversation, or just sit back and listen. You are welcome to propose topics and introduce them at future Cafés. Themes should be of broad interest and national significance, and have an element of controversy to them.
As with each Café, Helen Hays will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor is open for 50 minutes of moderated discussion.

Documenting Chechnya
October appears to be the month for hard-hitting black-and-white photography.
First we had the uncompromising images commissioned for Shelter going on show at the Science Museum; and now the Saatchi Gallery is to present a series of images depicting war-torn Chechnya.
The exhibition, entitled Spasibo, presents images by Italian photojournalist Davide Monteleone, which are going on show for the first time in the UK.
The title is taken from the Russian word for "thank you", and according to Saatchi Gallery, "can be read as an ironic gesture of gratitude to Chechnya's oppressors".
Monteleone's career began as editorial photographer for the Contrasto agency. In 2001, he moved to Moscow as a correspondent and has since divided his time between Russia and Italy. The Chechnya photography was captured between December 2012 and April 2013, when Monteleone was funded to work in the country through winning the fourth edition of the Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award.
Monteleone shows people going about their lives – trying on wedding dresses, training – but with an oppressive twist.
The wrestlers in a gym, for instance, train uneasily under the watchful eyes of portraits of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov and Akhmad Kadyrov hanging over them. And the girl trying on the dress is only 14 years-old.
The exhibition marks the UK launch of the Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award.
Spasibo is on show from 11 October – 3 November at Saatchi Gallery, Duke Of York's HQ, King's Rd, London SW3 4RY

Bob Hawke and Blanche d'Alpuget sell longterm North Shore home for $14 million
By Homes|
Australia's favourite beer-skolling former-Prime Minister Bob Hawke has sold his and wife Blanche d'Alpuget's North Shore home for a reported $14 million.
Bob and Blanche have plans to downsize to a newly built apartment in Sydney's CBD following the off market sale of their long-term Northbridge home, The Australian reports.
Bob and his then wife Hazel paid $1.23 million in 1991 for the three-bedroom house overlooking Sugarloaf Bay, seven months before Mr Hawke lost the leadership to Paul Keating.
That house was knocked down and replaced with a four-storey mansion, completed in 1993.
In 2013, Bob secured Willoughby Council approval to install a rooftop pergola complete with synthetic turf to double as a putting green.
A local buyer from the Northbridge area is believed to have bought Casa Hawke, after it was quietly shown with $15m hopes.
Domain reports the sale price remains undisclosed, but a source said the result was between $14 million and $15 million – around $6m below the suburb record of $21 million that was set in 2017 when 49 Coolawin Road sold.
Mr Hawke and Ms d'Alpuget will move into the One30 Hyde Park development where they bought an apartment off the plan in their downsizing bid.

Interview with Vice Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Communication Networks.
Vice Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. is the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Communication Networks (OPNAV N6) and the Deputy Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (Navy).
A Naval Academy graduate and naval flight officer, Vice Adm. Harris was selected for the Navy's Harvard/Tufts Program. He attended the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, graduating in 1992 with a Master of Public Administration degree. Selected as an Arthur S. Moreau Scholar, he studied international relations at Oxford and Georgetown universities, earning a Master of Arts in National Security Studies from the latter in 1994. While at George town, he was a Fellow in the School of Foreign Service. He is also an MIT Seminar XXI Fellow.
Vice Adm. Harris has logged 4,400 flight hours, including more than 400 combat hours, in U.S. and foreign maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. He assumed his present duties as OPNAV N6 in June 2008. Previous command tours include: Patrol Squadron (VP) 46, Task Force 57/72 and Joint Task Force Guantanamo.
N6 serves as the principal adviser to the CNO for all communication networks and is matrixed with N2 for ISR and N3/5 for Information Operations (10) and command and control (C2). As the Navy's CIO, Vice Adm. Harris ensures optimum use of Navy information technology/information management (IT/IM) resources.
N6 includes N6F--Warfare Integration, N60/62--Programming and Fiscal Management and N61--Capability Analysis and Assessment. CHIPS spoke with Vice Adm. Harris in January about N6's top priorities.
CHIPS: One of the reasons for the stand up of N6 was to gain beater visibility into how IT money is spent across the Navy, reduce legacy networks, and invest in more efficient models like service oriented architecture. Can you talk about progress made in this area? Vice Adm. Harris: We are making good progress in the area of cost visibility. We are doing that in three different ways, with three different methodologies.
First, there is CARS, an acronym that stands for Cyber Asset Reduction and Security. This is an effort to reduce our legacy networks. One of the biggest hurdles to a secure network environment is legacy networks. We have reduced our number of legacy networks from over 1,000 to less than 500.
We have had success with CARS, but we have along way to go. We want to get that 500 down to less than 200. This is an area of focus for us. Naval Network Warfare Command in Norfolk is responsible for executing CARS. They have a CARS team whose goal is to get us down below 200 networks by 2010. They are on the right glide scope to do that.
The second initiative we have is an Echelon II Command IT Budget Stewardship Review. You may have known it by its former name, 'Capture the Money.' We are trying to establish total IT cost visibility and accountability. How IT money is spent used to be a mystery. Our goal is to eliminate the mystery and make things transparent.
We want to look at execution budget reviews and identify where the money is being spent and recommend realignment of funding that is not executed in compliance with statutes, directives and guidance. We have done a couple of these so far, and we have had some good success. To date, we have been able to realign $100 million in IT funds across a number of commands. That is significant, that is real money.
The last area we call the ITMC, the IT Management Council. This is an effort to consolidate IT decision-making and governance. The CARS team goes after security, the budget stewardship review process goes after money, and the ITMC goes after centralized decision-making and governance.
The ITMC is chaired by the Vice Chief of Naval Operations and the Department of the Navy Deputy Chief Information Officer (Navy ... that's me). It is comprised of executive leadership from each of the OPNAV N-codes as well as Fleet Forces Command; NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command); NAVSEA (Naval Sea Systems Command); Navy Installations Command; NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command); SPAWAR (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command); NAVSUP (Naval Supply Systems Command); and Naval Network Warfare Command.
There are also executive advisers and those include the DON CIO, Mr. Robert Carey; Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, Mr. Sean Stackley; and the Marine Corps DDCIO, Brig. Gen. George Allen, director, C4/ CIO. We feel that the ITMC is working, and it serves as a single senior Navy IT decision forum necessary to help us achieve the NNE, the Naval Networking Environment. We are happy about that in the IT Management Council, and we are using it as a tool to get our arms around governance.
CHIPS: What else do you hope to accomplish in your time as N6?
Vice Adm. Harris: I have already talked about governance, security, our decision superiority, and a move toward the NNE, or the Naval Networking Environment. Our challenge is--how do you deliver decision superiority?
I define that as delivering knowledge, information, intelligence, data and orders, and how you do that virtually, instantaneously against 21st century cyber threats and to the warfighter and back in a fiscally constrained environment.
If we had unlimited resources we could achieve unlimited things. The challenge is to achieve great things with limited resources. In order to do that, we need to achieve a true NNE, or Naval Networking Environment. That's going to take a commitment from everyone, not just the N6, to get it right.
We no longer have the resources to develop or field what I call stovepipe network solutions. Our NNE concept is the right move to get our networks in line and integrated for the future.
While I am the N6, I intend to make a focused effort to bring policy, budget, resources and accountability into alignment to establish an effective enterprise approach into the way we do business and deliver those cyber capabilities that our warfighters on the pointy end say they need to execute their mission.
It is really about the warfighters at the end of the day. That is why we are making this effort to get it right.
CHIPS: The Navy is also hampered by legacy business systems. Does N6 have an interest in replacing these systems with Navy Enterprise Resource Planning?
Vice Adm. Harris: The short answer to that is yes, but I will give you a longer answer. We do have an interest in Navy ERP. I believe that it is a major step toward transformation of our business processes in the Navy. It will lead to a modern standardized and interconnected Navy enterprise operation.
This will give us financial transparency, asset visibility and business process effectiveness and efficiency to support our warfighters. That is what ERP is all about at the end of the day. ERP Release 1.0 provides functionality in financial operations as well as program management, materials management and supply chain management.
We are doing this in phases. We started with NAVAIR in 2007. In October 2008, we instantiated ERP at NAVSUP. Later in 2009, we start ERP with SPAWAR. We do NAVSEA starting in 2010 and Working Capital Fund activities in 2011.
While ERP is tremendous, it is simply a tool, albeit a high-performing one, with a lot of potential. The use of this tool by folks that know what they are doing, and knowledgeable and motivated users, can get us where we want to go.
There are two parts, the tool itself, and the people who operate it. They are both equally important.
CHIPS: N6 is directly involved in Next Generation Enterprise Network planning. Can you talk about NGEN?
Vice Adm. Harris: NGEN is part of a larger Department of the Navy effort to create a true net-centric operation across all of our networks. NGEN is the follow-on to the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. With NGEN, we hope to get improved government control and improved flexibility and agility in the way we operate the network.
This is not a criticism of NMCI. NGEN is just the next phase, or level, where we improve and increase our ability to control our own networks. NGEN is going to be the foundation of the NNE. The goal is more adaptability, more reliability and more security to give us more government control and oversight in direct support of the naval warfighter.
N6 and Headquarters Marine Corps C4, along with support from Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS), Center for Naval Analyses, Naval Network Warfare Command (NETWARCOM) and various other naval organizations, developed the requirements document. N6 serves as the resource sponsor.
There is now a separate organization in the Navy called the ACNO for NGEN. That person, the Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for NGEN, leads the System Program Office, the SPO for NGEN. It is a separate office outside N6 on the horizontal line with the other OPNAV N-codes. This brings focus and talent to make NGEN a real thing. CNO has named a two-star admiral to run the SPO, to be the ACNO NGEN, Rear Adm. Bill Goodwin.
CHIPS: Will PEO E1S execute the acquisition?
Vice Adm. Harris: That's a good question. Yes, Rear Adm.'Grunt' Smith, the new PEO EIS, is responsible for the acquisition.
CHIPS: In 2007, the Secretary of the Navy directed the Navy to demonstrate Maritime Domain Awareness capability in a year. Can you talk about the progress made in MDA technology and doctrine?
Vice Adm. Harris: Maritime Domain Awareness is a big deal. We have accomplished a number of milestones leading up to the present. Just last August we achieved what the Secretary of the Navy directed us to go after--Spiral 1 completion across all the nodes.
The next thing is that the Navy completed a CBA, a capabilities-based assessment, on MDA. The CBA looked at where the Navy's gaps are and how we conduct MDA and offered up a couple of solutions that will allow us to bridge those gaps.
The R3B, the Resources and Requirements Review Board, chaired by N8, approved the findings of the CBA last month. The R3B acknowledged that MDA is more than a material piece--it is people, training, and all of the other parts of the enterprise.
OPNAV N3/5 (Information, Plans and Strategy) has the overall lead for MDA for Navy. N3/5 will be working with the fleet on how we will update our MDA strategy. N6 and N2 are the primary resource sponsors.
CHIPS: The war on terror highlighted the need to provide robust, high-speed data exchanges with coalition forces. Can you discuss improvements made to the Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System-Maritime.
Vice Adm. Harris: CENTRIXS is the core piece that we use to communicate with the coalition. We are pressing ahead to improve the robustness, reliability and speed of how we exchange data with our coalition partners in classified and unclassified domains.
We are using CENTRIX-M, the maritime version/variant, today in a wide range of operations around the world, from antipiracy operations off the Horn of Africa to bilateral missile defense testing operations in the Western Pacific, and opportunities in South America, the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility.
As N6, we fund the Navy's Pacific Region Network Operations Center, PRNOC, in Hawaii, to expand those contingency capabilities. We are pleased with how we are moving forward with CENTRIXS. CENTRIXS is just one part of the overall puzzle, but it is an important piece as we move to improve our communications with our coalition partners.
CHIPS: With the push to consolidate networks, implement new technologies and communicate globally with allies, partners and nongovernmental organizations, how is the Navy handling the bandwidth requirements which must be increasing?
Vice Adm. Harris: We are using the CBSP, the Commercial Broadband Satellite Program, to increase our bandwidth. In 2007, some folks with a good idea conceived it as our Navy's next generation commercial satellite capability. We needed something to replace the leased Commercial Wideband SATCOM Program and INMARSAT-Bravo.
Compared to INMARSAT, it [CBSP] gives us significant improvements. INMARSAT is in the low kilobyte range, 64 to 128 kilobytes. CBSP provides up to 3 megabytes of data transfer.
Initially, when you put it on some ofthe small platforms, which desperately need something like this, such as our mine countermeasure ships, frigates and coastal patrol boats, they are going to get about three and a half times what they get now. That is significant. I am jazzed up about CBSP. I think it is a good deal.
CHIPS: Can you talk about Information Operations?
Vice Adm. Harris: Part of my tasking from CNO is to look at 10. As we look at the CNO's guidance for 2009, our ability to achieve decision superiority is essential in operating at all levels of war.
Broadly speaking, in Information Operations, we in N6 are going to focus on three different areas. First, we are working hard to bring high 10 capabilities to the warfighter in cyberspace. These things in the Naval Networking Environment that I keep talking about are critical to achieving decision superiority.
In the 10 mission area of computer network operations, CNO, and the element of computer network defense, or CND, are essential to protecting Navy networks and operating establishments.
Secondly, our IO portfolio must provide asymmetric capabilities to meet maritime challenges. We are developing strong ties to the BMD, Ballistic Missile Defense, antisubmarine warfare, ASW, and irregular warfare programs. We need to be able to meet adversaries with asymmetric capabilities including electronic warfare and computer network operations.
Lastly, we are working hard on future capabilities. Looking forward is as important as refining and polishing where we are today. So let me talk about CANES, the Navy's Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services program. It is essential for what we are trying to do in the NNE.
CANES will reduce our physical IT infrastructure on ships. We want to consolidate afloat network infrastructure and core services for the Navy to better operate with our other forces and our own command and control.
We want to speed effort to catch the current wave of technology. That includes service oriented architectures, enterprise solutions, innovative security approaches and state-of-the-shelf hardware.
At the end of the day, we are going to have four elements of the NNE. NGEN will be the biggest and most visible piece because it will affect everyone in the continental U.S.
We will have CANES interoperable on all of our ships. We will have BLII, Base Level Information Infrastructure, or ONE-NET, our overseas network. Then we will have a few legacy networks that we have excepted from the CARS program. CARS goes from more than 1,000 legacy networks today to less than 500--and ultimately to less than 200.
The four pillars of the NNE are: CANES; NGEN; BLII ONE-NET and those excepted networks.' CANES is the shipboard piece.
CHIPS: What do you mean by excepted networks?
Vice Adm. Harris: Those legacy networks that will not be part of NGEN. Today, we would say that they are not part of NMCI. For example, if you were to e-mail me and put my name in with the Navy dot-mil domain, the @navy.mil is the key that this is an NMCI address in the NMCI domain.
If you are working in the medical profession and you e-mail to someone @bumed.navy.mil, BUMED is a clue that there are other domains. BUMED, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, is on a different legacy network. It will probably be an excepted legacy network because the BUMED network carries personal data related to medical and health.
We have an obligation to protect those excepted legacy networks against 21st century cyber threats which is why they will be 'excepted legacy' and included into the NNE.
Sharon, let me conclude this interview with an interesting point. We [N6] are only a part of the Navy's IT picture. The NNFE, the Naval NETWAR FORCEnet Enterprise, is an enterprise approach to how we govern IT in the Navy writ large.
There are three cornerstones of that enterprise: the Navy's OPNAV N6 (that's me), the Naval Network Warfare Command in Norfolk, commanded by Vice Adm. Denby Starling, and SPAWAR, commanded by Rear Adm. Michael Bachmann, form the NNFE.
I don't do anything without coordinating with the other two corners of the enterprise. The three corners of the enterprise look at the operational piece, the engineering piece and the financial piece--in other words--what we do, how we do it, and how we pay for it.
It is a team effort; IT is a team sport. We are in this together, and we will move forward together.

Four Negotiation Tactics To Recognize
Last week, we talked about how to improve your negotiating skills. Now I want to talk about negotiation tactics.
Not all of them are totally ethical and above board. I want to share what they are so that you can recognize when they're being used against you.
There's a quote I read once from Time Magazine, "Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause that goes on and on and may at last induce the opponent to babble and backtrack nervously". Don't babble and backtrack nervously. Just sit there and smile.
The Good Guy, Bad Guy Routine.
A lot of couples use this. Most people in Real Estate aren't that versed and practiced in it, so they do it better when it's over the phone or when the other person isn't there. The best way to overcome this in Luxury Real Estate is to always have all parties present when doing a transaction such as negotiating or presenting with them and to them.The most important thing when we talk about #negotiation tactics, especially dirty tricks, is to separate the people from the tactic. Click To Tweet
Some people are really good at this and it can really be intimidating, especially when you're dealing with them one on one. When you give a price opinion, your marketing plan, your commission charge, or your marketing fee charge, they make a winced look. You may want to start to get defensive and backtrack, but you just have to smile and recognize it for what it is. It is a tactic. Don't let it work on you.
Limited Authority.
This one cracks me up because husbands do this all the time. When it's time to negotiate, they'll always blame the spouse. So again, having all parties present is the best way to overcome that.
Bottom line – don't use dirty tricks, but certainly recognize them. When they are used on you out of the blue, they can be intimidating and they can get you to do things you would not otherwise ordinarily do. Don't be intimidated by them, just recognize them.

President Obama's daughter worked for Steven Spielberg
Photo: (Joe Klamar — Getty Images)
Malia Obama worked for Steven Spielberg last week as a production assistant on the Los Angeles set of Halle Berry's upcoming TV series "Extant."
A 15-year-old working for Spielberg? That must be some kid and certainly not one with a connection to someone who could make a phone call and nuke Steven Spielberg's studio in an eyeblink.
Spielberg is producing the new CBS sci-fi series. According to the New York Daily News, President Obama's oldest daughter "helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take," a set source told TheWrap.

Anti-allergic drugs
Ketotifen fumarate is a kind of strong anti-allergic drugs containing simultaneously of both tricyclic structure as well as piperidine structure. It is characterized by both a strong antagonism effect on histamine H1 receptor and inhibitory effect of the release of the mediator of allergic reaction. It can inhibit the release various kinds of mediators of mast cells, basophils and macrophages, including the release of slow reacting substances and other active substances. It also has antagonism effect on the calcium ion; can inhibit the activity of phosphodiesterase; increase the intracellular cAMP level inside mast cells.
Moreover, it can also inhibiting the chemotaxis and inflammation of neutrophil with an effect 10 times as strong as that of chlorpheniramine, and it also has a long duration time which is better compared with sodium cromolyn. Ketotifen fumarate has therapeutic effect on both Ⅰ and Ⅲ type of allergic reaction. Its peak blood concentrations can sustain for 2 to 3 hours with a half-life of 22 hours during which 60% goes through urinary excretion, 40% goes through the fecal excretion. Children usually have a faster excretion rate of it than adults. Long-term treatment will not cause resistance. No rebound phenomenon will occur with interruption of treatment.
Clinical application
It has been more than 20 years since ketotifen fumarate have been applied to the prevention and treatment of asthma and childhood asthma. It is a kind of drug with dual effect of both prevention and treatment in the prevention and treatment of asthma and childhood asthma. It should be particularly noted that ketotifen had ever taken as the long-term controlling drug of asthma and childhood long-term asthma and was subject to wide application in many countries. Since the early 1980s, ketotifen fumarate had already been applied in Western Europe, Asia, and China for the prevention and treatment of asthma and asthma in children. But since entering into 21st century, the annual applied amount has decreased year by year. Because of its side effect of inhibition of the central nervous system, its oral tablet currently has still not approved by the FDA and thus failing to enter the US market with only ketotifen fumarate eye drops (ZADITOR) had been approved by the FDA in 1999. Recent studies have also shown the effectiveness of ketotifen asthma still demands further studies. Moreover, ketotifen fumarate has several additional advantages. First, it can cause sleepiness of the schoolchildren and thus being able to affect their academic performance; second, it can also do harm to the mental development of infants and young children. Thirdly, it is also be able to affect the metabolism of sustained-release tea and thus negatively affecting its anti-inflammatory effects of theophylline. For all the above points, it is not recommended by the GINA (affiliated organization of WHO) to apply ketotifen fumarate for the treatment and prevention of asthma and childhood asthma. But from the perspective of clinical economics, ketotifen fumarate is a suitable anti-allergic drug for being applied in developing countries and rural areas for treating asthma and childhood asthma with certain efficacy due to its relative low price .

I Did It! Wood Artisan made its first appearance at a craft show.
With my very first craft show behind me, all I can do is breath a sigh of relief that I did it and now I know what to expect for future shows.
I signed up for the show in May which gave me 6 months to get ready for the show. However, I lost my job and went through some tough times and coupled with my tendency to procrastinate on my personal projects, I didn't really start getting crafts ready for the show until about October. I regret that the 5 months I was out of work that I didn't do more in the workshop, but as the saying goes "hindsight is 20/20."
The Millard West Craft Show is a larger craft show in the area and they do it twice a year spring and fall. There were over 200 vendors and the show organizers were great and did a great job. The money goes to the High School baseball team and the baseball team helps the vendors carry in and take out their stuff. It was a great experience and a very smooth operation.
Of course, I had my reservations about doing the show. I thought it might be too big for my debut as a craft vendor. So I decided to ask my Father In-Law if he wanted to share a booth with me. This ensured that I had someone to talk to and that we could at least sit together. After-all he is one of my favorite people in my life and I enjoy the time I get to spend with him. I know that is not how most men feel about their In-Law's but I am all about not following the norm. The day of the show I was a little bit intimidated by the number of vendors and the two vendors in my area selling similar products, one of which is my Father In-Law's twin brother who make some of the most gorgeous cutting boards and segmented turnings. The whole night before I kept asking myself, "would I be able to pull it off?" "Did I even come close to making enough inventory?" "Are my crafts good enough to sell?" Luckily my wife stepped in and put together a gorgeous booth for me so that was one thing I didn't have to worry about. She also had a shirt made with my logo on it. She is such a wonderful gal!
Even with my reservations I knew this was the next step in taking the business to the next level and getting my name out there. This was not only a chance to showcase my work but to:
- Promote my business
- Meet and greet potential customers in my local area
- Meet other vendors and crafters
- Check out my competition
- Get a feeling on how these things work
Unfortunately it wasn't may day. I made a lot of contacts, gave out a lot of business cards, and had some good conversations about my products. People were just not buying. I spoke with the other similar vendors and they were having the same luck as me. On the bright side I made enough to cover my booth fees and I went ahead and signed up for the spring show in March. I got a ton of positive feedback about my products and how gorgeous they were. Overall, I didn't make a ton of money, but I did get a ton of experience. Yes I was nervous, it was a new experience and I am very happy that I did it.
Some of the lessons that I learned:
- Procrastination is my Achilles heel.
- Add some products that I didn't that were on my list to get done in the first place.
- New display for my Ornaments--they got lost in the tree and didn't stand out.
- Add a little more color to my booth.
I have another craft show on December 3rd. It is a much smaller event and I am very much looking forward to the experience and maybe, just maybe, makes some sales. Thanks for reading.

Game of Thrones has visited Northern Ireland, Spain, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, and more countries during production in its long and well-traveled lifespan. And now HBO reportedly has turned its gaze toward another European country: Sweden.
According to SVT, the national Swedish television network, HBO has shown interest in filming future episodes of Game of Thrones on Gotland island in Sweden. Nothing is official yet, no contracts have been signed for shooting, but HBO has been in touch with Swedish production company The Line Gotland.
Olivia Munck, executive producer of The Line Gotland spoke with SVT about being approached by HBO. She says she "almost fainted" when she got the call. Afterward, she provided the network with materials on possible locations in the area.
Munck told SVT they've sent material about Gotland consisting of approximately 300 pictures taken of Visby (a major urban area), as well as photos taken of the more rural areas of the island including "old farms" and "landscape pictures."
It's easy to understand why Visby might be of interest to GoT. The city has well-preserved medieval structures and a long wall around the town center. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, with "13th-century ramparts and more than 200 warehouses and wealthy merchants' dwellings from the same period." Even from a quick glance (photo up top of the post!), the resemblance to other GoT city shooting sites is there.
The Gotland locations are not officially part of Game of Thrones yet- HBO is clearly still in the scouting process.
What do you say, Swedes? Is Gotland a good match for Game of Thrones?

10 Things I Hate About Game of Thrones Season 8 *Spoilers ahead*
As a writer, I care deeply about plot, pacing, and character development. It's all critical to my suspension of disbelief, not to mention that watching a master at work is both educational and validating. Good stories have power. Watching the six seasons of Game of Thrones taught me so much about how to write complex characters with long, thoughtful story arcs, how to make bad characters tun good, and good characters turn bad. How to build a world that feels as real as our own.Read More

Re: Friggin' UPS!!!
Posted by J.Schott on Jun 13, 2005
I got the pics and all packing materials, so proof is not a problem. The package could have been a lot bigger and cushioned a lot better in my opinion. I also think, based on my experience, that the route a package takes makes a lot of difference. Before I got into kayaking I built 2 cars and several bikes all using mail and internet order parts. If a package passed through the M.D. hub (I can't remember the name of the location), it looked like it had been through a meat grinder. I have never gotten a damaged box from anywhere else. I have never had a problem unless it came from the north east. Another example, I ordered a set of wheels for my truck 4 months ago. They came the same route as the veneer. Four wheels were boxed in individual boxes they came in from the manufacturer and then placed in two boxes with cushioning. The outer boxes were trashed and peanuts were blowing all over my yard. The amazing thing was that two of the wheels that were in the same box were bent. The other two (in the other box) were ok. The attitude that Certianly Wood is taking is not helping either. I paid for A grade material and got a bunch of really pretty splinters. I guess the blame is shared by both parties. I'm the one paying for it now. I keep telling myself "it will all be worth it in the end". The new batch arrives tomorrow, I'll keep you posted.

If you are unfortunately bit by a dog, you can ask the dog's owner if their dog has ever bit someone before? They may answer you, they may not, depends on what they know about the law, because you have to prove that the dog has vicious propensity.
In addition to wanting to be able to recover money for your injury, what people want to know is if the dog has received its rabies shots? If you're bitten and its bad, you go to a hospital or a doctor, they'll need to know the answer to that question to know how to treat you.
If they can't determine that the dog has been vaccinated for rabies, you may then have to undergo the treatment for rabies to make sure that you're protected. That treatment is not pleasant, so if it's any way possible to learn about the current status of the dog and its shots, you should do that because it will help you prevent the rabies treatment that you would need.

"Into The Wild", our November Lookbook by French interior designer and blogger Florence Deau, is inspired by the wild landscapes of winter; mountains emerging from the mist, the ocean battered by the wind… Shapes are strong, sculptural. Cool indigo blues and pale stone and ash are brought alive when used in association with brass.
Florence Deau has travelled, lived and studied abroad from a young age. She runs her own design practice, Florence Deau Studio, and launched her blog Flodeau, dedicated to all things interior, in 2011. Deau also hosts Royan 1950, an online community dedicated to the promotion of her hometown's Mid Century architecture.

Man fatally shot in Hartford, 18th killing in city this year
HARTFORD >> Police in Hartford are investigating the second fatal shooting in the city this week as state and local officials plan to meet on an anti-violence strategy.
Police responding to reports of gunfire at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday found two men shot on Elliott Street. One man died at Hartford Hospital. The condition of the other wasn't immediately released.
Police said investigators believe the shootings following an argument.
There have been 18 killings in the city so far this year, compared with 19 in 2014.
On Friday, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy called for an emergency meeting between state and Hartford officials to discuss the increasing number of homicides in the state capital. Malloy said the state will provide additional assistance the city has asked for, but officials want to discuss how it would be used.
