Jason Helvenston, with his wife, Jennifer, has told the authorities, “You’ll take my house before you take my vegetable garden.”
We grow dozens of vegetables organically in our front yard in Orlando (read more about why we planted our Patriot Garden). But in November, the city—which aspires to be the “Greenest City in America”—notified us that our harmless garden violates city code, and we have to tear it up and replace it with grass…or face fines of $500 a day. All we want to do is use our property peacefully to grow our own food. The Constitution protects our property rights from arbitrary invasions like this. Help us tell our leaders “Hands off our food!” by planting your own Patriot Garden in your front yard.

A South Florida lawmaker wants the state to add $30 million to a dwindling seed fund to help startup companies grow to the next level by financing their product testing.
The fund is intended to commercialize research projects at universities and research institutions, like the one by nSolgel LLC, a company co-founded by Sudipta Seal, director of the University of Central Florida NanoScience Technology Center. Seal has been researching whether he could make building material from the ash collected from the burning of coal to generate power.

Some of those goals include developing a green building code to encourage developers to meet green standards, continuing to invest in mass transit such as SunRail, creating more green jobs by reinforcing Orlando’s designation as a Solar America City and more.
Built out of the organizing structure of churches, unions and block associations, CDCs were envisioned as a way for citizens to have direct control over their neighborhoods while leveraging the tools of government and business. Since 1967, the first CDC, now called the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, has constructed or renovated 2,200 housing units and helped bring more than $475 million in investments to central Brooklyn. Meanwhile, the East Los Angeles Community Union formed in 1968 and was also funded through the Kennedy-Javits legislation.
In the end, one argument against using Views for our content queries overrode all others: we wanted our client to use Views. Our client had specified that once they received the sites, their own developers would be using Views to build blocks and pages themselves. We knew that if we worked in Views for our own work, the Views we created would eventually be exposed to them, which leads to possibilities of regression and error. We wanted our core querying functionality to continue to function without concern that it might be tampered with.
Right now, Aunt Bertha consists of Gray, two part-time employees and the crowdsourced knowledge of users who can report incorrect information or add programs that aren't listed (which are then verified by Gray or a staffer). Currently, the site also offers live chats if someone is navigating the site and can't find what he's looking for, something Gray says he'll do for as long as he and his small staff are able as the site grows.
