JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- An independent audit of the City of Jacksonville's pension plan has found multiple, serious problems. |
The audit looked at the General Employees and Correction Officers Retirement Plans and looked at 60 new retirees from the 2010-2011 year. In just that sampling, the audit found that there was an overpayment of thousands of dollars. According to our news partners at the Florida Times Union, the city says the retirees wi... |
Although in the audit, the pension office says it will ask the Board to seek repayment from one former employee who was overpaid by around $7,000. |
The audit found timing problems with retirees getting their first pension check, which resulted in an underpayment of around $4,000. |
Gulf Place on 30A recently announced two new businesses that have opened in their town center. The Gulf Place community is pleased to have Meyer Boarding Company and Pizza by the Sea�s second location join their thriving marketplace. |
Mike Meyer, founder of Meyer Boarding Company, started his now full-fledged 5,000-square-foot manufacturing operation, distributing boards worldwide simply as a dream building skimboards in his garage. Today, Meyer Boarding Company handcrafts skateboards, land paddle boards, land paddles, skimboards, and custom shaped ... |
Pizza by the Sea has been a long time local favorite, and now people on the west end of 30A can easily access this much-loved pizzeria. Located directly across from the Gulf of Mexico and above the Gulf Place amphitheater, owners Jason and Kristi Beer couldn�t have picked a better location for the family-friendly resta... |
Gulf Place invites guests to welcome new merchants Meyer Boarding Company and Pizza by the Sea from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 29 and 30 at the Artists at Gulf Place colony. The event will feature live music, photos with Santa Claus, a �Paint a Board Workshop� with the Meyer Boarding Company and more. This event is open to... |
The qualities that make Clive Owen such a powerful and enigmatic film actor haven’t translated to the stage of Cort Theatre. That’s where he’s headlining a lackluster Broadway revival of M. Butterfly, the nearly 30-year-old Tony Award-winning American play inspired by the true story of a French diplomat convicted of es... |
It’s delectable material, but Owen gives a performance that’s often as confined as his character, René Gallimard. At the onset of David Henry Hwang’s play, set in 1986, Gallimard languishes in prison, where he’s haunted by the memory of Song Liling (impressive newcomer Jin Ha), whom he first encountered singing the tit... |
As Gallimard replays the confounding story of their relationship for the next two hours and 20 minutes, Owen spends much of the proceedings rooting around for clues as to who this man is. Gallimard embodies Western arrogance toward the East, male dominance over the feminine, but the all-encompassing passion that drives... |
Owen might have benefited from a surer directorial hand. M. Butterfly marks the first Broadway production from Lion King director Julie Taymor since her disastrous tenure on the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical six years ago. That was the most expensive production in Broadway history; this one appears to have been... |
But fleshing out the play doesn’t strengthen what was already a solid work, groundbreaking in its time for the way it dealt with race and gender. M. Butterfly is at its most compelling when it tries to discern human mysteries. Was it love or ego that drew Gallimard to Song? Did Gallimard really have no idea that Song w... |
In Taymor’s production, these questions seem more like afterthoughts. The crux of M. Butterfly, the beauty and cruelty of Gallimard and Song’s knotty relationship, never fully takes flight. |
Internet service provider has announced that it has turned on citywide Wi-Fi in Milpitas, Calif., and New Orleans. |
EarthLink turned on two more of its Wi-Fi cities this week. |
On Tuesday, the Internet service provider announced that Milpitas, Calif., had begun offering service over its new citywide Wi-Fi network built by EarthLink. And on Thursday, New Orleans turned on its citywide Wi-Fi network. |
EarthLink, which has had to rely on cable and DSL (digital subscriber line) networks to deliver broadband service to consumers, is using Wi-Fi, an unlicensed radio frequency technology, as an affordable way to build its own broadband infrastructure. |
Over the past year, the company has won bids to blanket eight cities with Wi-Fi, including high-profile projects in Philadelphia and San Francisco. In June it launched its first network in Anaheim, Calif. |
In New Orleans, the 20-square-mile Wi-Fi mesh network covers parts of Orleans Parish, which was devastated by last year's Hurricane Katrina. In an effort to help rebuild New Orleans, EarthLink is providing a free tier of service--available up to 300 kilobits per second--for residents and businesses throughout the cover... |
Like residents in Anaheim and Milpitas, New Orleans residents will also have access to higher-speed service. Subscribers can pay $21.95 per month for a symmetrical 1 megabit per second downstream and upstream service. The service also includes up to eight e-mail mailboxes as well as security services like SpamBlocker a... |
For occasional users, EarthLink is also offering a one-hour pass for $3.95 and a three-day pass for $15.95. These customers will connect and access account information from the EarthLink portal page. Business and wholesale partners will also be able to access city government agencies via the network, EarthLink said. |
While citywide Wi-Fi networks are much less expensive to build than other kinds of networks, such as fiber-to-the-home, they still have some issues. Several smaller cities that have already deployed Wi-Fi, such as St. Cloud, Fla.; Tempe, Ariz.; and Chaska, Minn., have experienced coverage issues. And users have complai... |
Press release provided by Charlotte 49ers. |
Head coach Will Healy concluded his first spring practice season with the annual Green-White Spring Game that was won by the Green Team, 28-21, at Richardson Stadium. |
White team starting QB Chris Reynolds was 8-of-11 for 152 yards and three touchdowns while Green Team QB Willie Green came off the bench to throw two third-quarter TDs to spark the win. |
Running back Ishod Finger led the rushing attack in a dual role, piling up 91 yards for the Green team and 12 for White. |
Reynolds connected with Justin Jeffery for a 19-yard TD in the first quarter to post White to a 7-0 lead. In the second quarter, Caleb Parker had a one-yard TD rush for the White before Reynolds hit wideout Joe Thompson for a 43-yard TD to go ahead, 14-6. |
Nafees Lyon’s 62-yard punt return for a TD before the half kickstarted Green's rally. Trailing 14-13 at the half, Green scored a pair of TDs on Willie Green passes to Zach Gemmell (6 yards) and Parker (68 yards) to take a 28-14 lead. |
Reynolds found Thompson for a 10-yard TD in the fourth quarter to make it 28-21. |
Postgame talk centered less around the game and more around Healy’s impressions of the team following his first practice season, which included Tuesday and Thursday practices at 5:30 a.m. |
After five years, half of the people pursuing careers as scientists at higher education institutions will drop out of the field, stated new analysis from researchers at Indiana University Bloomington. |
That number contrasts sharply with the departure rate of scientists in the 1960s, when a much higher fraction spent their full careers in academia. Back then, it took 35 years for half of the people entering the field at the same time to drop out. |
The statistics come from a study being published Dec. 10 in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that tracked more than 100,000 scientific careers over 50 years to also reveal a steadily growing "temporary workforce" of lab technicians, research associates, postdoctoral researchers and oth... |
"Between 1960 and 2010, we found the number of scientists who spent their entire career in academia as supporting scientists -- rather than a faculty scientist -- has risen from 25 percent to 60 percent," said Stasa Milojevic, an associate professor in the IU School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, who led th... |
The study's findings come from tracking tens of thousands of individual names listed as authors in top academic journals over the past half century. In addition to the sharp drop in career life span, the analysis revealed a 35-percentage-point rise in the number of scientists who are never credited as a study's primary... |
In a field where career advancement often depends on the axiom of "publish or perish," Milojevic said, the sharp rise in researchers who never lead a publication is striking. |
"A lot of this work used to be performed by graduate students, but now it's typical to hire a 'postdoc' -- a position that practically didn't exist in the U.S. until the 1950s but has since become a virtual prerequisite for faculty positions in many fields. |
"You can keep moving from postdoc to postdoc -- or you might get hired as a research scientist -- but there really isn't a lot of job security. It's a difficult position to survive in." |
The study specifically tracked over 70,000 names in the field of astronomy, 20,000 names in the field of ecology and 17,000 names in the field of robotics. The "dropout rate" from academia was highest among roboticists, most likely due to lucrative alternate careers in the private sector, Milojevic said. The lowest, bu... |
"The core issue is the number of Ph.D.s being produced is much larger than the number of tenure-track jobs," Milojevic said. "Traditional academia works on an apprenticeship model -- people trying to reproduce themselves -- but this system represents a disconnect with the newer 'industrial model' of science, which requ... |
This latter group is also composed of those whose skills are not compensated at the same level as their peers, Milojevic said. |
She added that other experts have suggested changes to the metrics used to reward performance at universities, or the establishment of more government institutes focused on pure research, as potential solutions to this issue. |
"In the end, I think these issues will need to be addressed at the policy level," she said. "This study doesn't provide a solution, but it shows that the number of scientists leaving academia isn't slowing down." |
Women who join a doctoral class in male-dominated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields with fewer or no other females are more likely to drop out in the first year. |
Nearly two thirds of teenage female athletes fail to realize their full potential due to bullying and low self esteem, a new study reveals. |
Less than 8% of nurses reported that their schools have a written policy on student bathroom use (64% reported no policy, 28% were unsure). |
In celebration of its decade-long journey, Coke Studio's new producers Ali Hamza and Zohaib Kazi are revisiting the hit music show's roots and orchestrating a season that promotes the bridging of barriers through music. |
According to Kazi, Season 11 will put an emphasis on “storytelling” by expanding into a separate segment with regional musicians titled Coke Studio Explorer. |
Does that mean we'll see more original compositions as opposed to covers? |
“We prioritised the authenticity and truthfulness of expression and it didn’t matter if it came to us through covers, qawwalis or originals,” shared Hamza. |
Images: You've taken over Coke Studio (CS) after a decade of its running. How do you see your responsibility as its producers this season? |
Ali Hamza: I think that's the right word – responsibility. The kind of influence that this platform has and the emotional connect the audience have with it, I think it does translate onto a huge responsibility on our shoulders. |
It’s a space where we can influence perceptions, our sense of identity and simply, pride about being a Pakistani. |
Zohaib Kazi: Even before we started speaking to Coca Cola in depth about how to go forward [as producers of season 11], the two of us were sitting in a park on a bench, and we knew that it wasn’t going to be just another gig. |
We've seen so much divide in the backdrop of the elections this year. So as we talked generally, about life and people and Pakistan, we realised ours truly is a position of influence. |
This is one of those opportunities where you’re given a project that has massive reach, acknowledgment and respect from the people. It’s important for us and we keep reminding ourselves to view this position prudently, and internally, we decided to approach this season as fans. Behind every decision went long discussio... |
Images: This season, you’ve also introduced an extension to the show called Coke Studio Explorer where you’ve recorded unknown artists from rural towns and villages. Tell us a little about how this new spin-off came into being? |
Hamza: What we’ve done through Explorer, what immediately one notices is the visual relief. For so many years you’ve seen production in a studio only and suddenly, we’ve gone to these places. We’ve visited Chitral, the mountains, the deserts; we’ve gone to the fields in villages. To bring that visual and in a manner th... |
We saw it very philosophically and I think it was important for us to take it to these places because the sun speaks of hope. I think it was important for us to appreciate light. It would have been very easy for us to fly these people down to the studio, but the night’s gone and the sun has risen. And after the season ... |
Related: Why do we depend only on Coke Studio to bring us new talent? |
Zohaib: We felt that CS had to spread its wings and throw a larger net across the country, to not just attract the urban pool, but the rural pool as well. At the end of the day, the regions and its people collectively make Pakistan. It was important for us to explore this vision in depth. |
Also CS has gone through the hate and the 300 million views. After 10 years, you’re supposed to be in a role of influence, it’s beyond likes and hits. It’s about procuring wisdom and information and disseminating it further amongst people. It’s about exploring the unexplored, the not-so-noticed. |
We’ve gone to Kalash and found these amazing young Kalashi singers who have great exposure despite very weak satellite and no internet at all. There was this one girl called Farsi Gul we met, who changed her name to Ariana inspired by Ariana Grande! It’s that drive that in this day and age, people are connecting world-... |
Images: Both of you are are well-known as musicians/producers in specific genres. However, CS caters to quite a diverse audience. Is it a challenge to produce music that's say, out of your comfort zone or you may not be fond of? |
Hamza: My earlier involvement with CS was as a musician, a songwriter-singer. Not that I’ve not been exposed to the production side of things, but getting accustomed to the scale and pace with which this project has been executed is massive. |
Coming to the audience part of it, I feel the whole point of a platform like CS is that there’s a variety and as we were exploring or looking into how we’re going to approach it, we found a common ground with the idea that there has to be diversity of performers. |
I think the focus was and is Pakistan; it has many facets to it and we wanted to explore that. As broadly as we could, we’ve addressed the likes of listeners, but obviously, the two of us do come with our own likes and dislikes in music, and they define what our take on CS is as producers, but keeping in mind there’s a... |
Zohaib: Honestly, I was 24 when I joined CS. I’ve kind of grown up in this environment alone. Of course, when you’re doing something on your own, for instance when you come out with an album like Ismail Ka Urdu Sheher, it is a thought one has at that time and it’s nothing like the other one, Fanoos. |
When it came down to CS, at least for me, it’s more like second-nature, I think it came naturally to me. It’s a very comfortable space for me. |
Also I feel there’s this misconception that exists about producers at CS that we’re required to produce the music alone. In reality, there are four divisions, there’s the audio, where the sound is created, there’s video, which is the directorial aspect of it, and then there’s the technical and managerial aspects as wel... |
Images: Both you come from different musical backgrounds. How do you think you were able to find common ground? |
Hamza: The first conversation we had, like Zohaib said, was at a park. We had barely interacted before this, we’d just come across one another socially, but when we sat down, we realised that while we have had different musical journeys, we had a lot in common when it came to our visions. |
Both of us believe the end of expression is an end to the artist because any art form acts like a container that starts building feelings. |
Zohaib: I think before anything at all, a human-connect is essential. Communication is the key and we’d speak for hours, and not only amongst ourselves, but everyone who’s a part of this system to make them understand where we are trying to hit the notes. It’s a part of our DNA and to achieve all of that is relatively ... |
Images: CS’s previous seasons have been called out for corporatisation, exploitation, etc. Was there something that now, as producers, you wanted to change about the platform? |
Hamza: We’ve learned a lot from both the producers’ [Rohail Hyatt, Strings] tenures. Both had their positives, but by the end, we know there’s always going to be margin for more. We didn’t look at it as individuals, but across 10 years of CS rather than the journey of Rohail Hayat or Strings. We were very clear that we... |
Zohaib: We’re not in a position to comment on what happened, but even on Coca Cola’s front, there’s a brand new team, so the energy is very different. They’ve also been thinking like musicians and artists themselves, and that’s a relief. Even putting a risky combination like me and Hamza, two people who haven’t ever wo... |
They’re (Coca Cola) big fans of CS. It’s not that they want to control the entity, they also feel very responsible and it’s good for things to keep changing. You have learning and you apply that; decisions being made today aren’t etched in stone forever. |
CS does have this legacy and it’ll go on. Something that we’ve both very conscious about is quantum-physics and karma; we feel those are the actual drivers of one’s journey. Broadly, we definitely acknowledge the years they’ve put in, but our prerogative is to do whatever we do with the right intent. We’re not concerne... |
Images: Hamza, your band Noori hasn’t officially disbanded, but Ali Noor and you have been working on independent projects for a while now. What is the future for Noori? |
Hamza: We’ve had multiple hiatuses over the years; we’ve come out with three albums in 15 years with several breaks. We were very clear with what we wanted. Today, Ali Noor and I want to spread out and explore more. |
For Zohaib and I to come together for Coke Studio is a new precedent in the music fraternity as an integration across genres. For me, Noori was never a band; it was more of a pursuit. |
Our relationship and pursuits go beyond music because we’ve had that multi-dimensional influence from our Nana. I think CS is the next step for me, but we do still have a lot of conversations going on and we share our notes with one another. |
A much needed change. I wish them both, good luck. |
Seems like no one else is willing to take on the Coke Studio production challenge. Rinse and repeat. |
Can't wait! So much looking forward to discovering Kalaish music! |
Please promote Pakistans various landscapes from beaches, lakes, deserts, mountains, plains and snow capped peaks. In which country can you be tanning at the beach and after 2 hour flight be skiing in the highest Alps? Pak is unique! |
Should be inspiring, can't wait to watch. |
What an amazing idea :-). All the best. |
