HTML links are like span tagsMonday, November 30th, 2009
Ok maybe you are up on your HTML more than I am, but I was surprised that an <a> tag around an image does not have a CSS box around the image. This came up in issue 2534. The reporter had an example like the one below, with an <a> tag around an image:
If you inspect the image in Firebug, then mouse over the <a> tag, you can see that the <a> tag's box is smaller than the image. But Firebug's inspect is correct: the CSS box for an <a> tag is similar to a <span> tag. They are both "inline" elements, so the image is not contained in their box.
For a more dramatic example, see the test case for issue 2534. Thanks to Boris for helping us sort this out.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A number of Israeli officials presenting at the 14th annual Herzliya Conference suggested that perhaps the time has come to stop viewing a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority as an absolute necessity.
The international community likes to portray the Israeli-Palestinian peace process as not only critical to Israel, but to the entire region and the world. Leaders like US Secretary of State John Kerry routinely insist that if Israel does not in short order conclude a peace deal with the PA, the Jewish state could cease to exist, at least in its current form.
And Israel has traditionally responded in kind, by focusing the bulk of its political energy on this issue.
But is the peace process with the Palestinian Authority really so critical?
Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar says it is not. "There is no basis to the perception that the status quo is a bad thing," he told the audience in Herzliya on Sunday.
To the contrary, the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from Gaza suggests that upsetting the status quo by facilitating the creation of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria could itself be a very bad thing.
Sa'ar's position was backed up by former national security advisor Maj.-Gen. Yaakov Amidror, who rejected American and European assessments that for Israel to live in peace with the rest of the region, it must first conclude a peace deal with the Palestinian leadership.
The reality, as Amidror explained it, is that very little will change even if tomorrow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas will shake hands and put their signatures to a bilateral agreement.
"Even if we do the most fantastic thing that people are expecting of us and sign a peace accord with the Palestinians, it will change nothing in terms of the basic gaps that are now leading and driving the behavior and conduct of countries in the area," said the former military intelligence chief.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has long advocated abandoning talks with an intransigent Palestinian leadership in favor of focusing on improving relations directly with other Arab regimes in the region.

The team just earned immense super respect from everywhere basketball is watched!
Who would have thought that without arguably the equal best player and facing the best home team in the nba, that we'd smash them like that.
Denver must be reeling right now. Escaping with Game 1 and then beaten soundly in Game 2.
Didn't watch, just followed boxscore, but looks like MJackson went sort of Nelson and went small lineup. It worked awesome with the outside shooting on fire and all shooting in general. The shooting was actually awesome by both teams.
Curry huge like he has been so often this season and all going well with everyone doing their part.
I always thought landing Barnes could well be a huge factor for the franchise over the next few years and this game he showed he has that ability.
Very happy with the team and now coming home where beating them both games would be huge.
That's exactly it, migs.
Jackson gambled, aka Nellieball.
You don't wanna rely on Nelson style gambling the rest of the series, but against the best home team in the league, a change-up was EXACTLY what they needed to steal one in the Pepsi Center. Unlike Nelson, though, they slowed it down after they established a lead. Jackson needs some COY love; even if he doesn't win, it'd be a sham if he wasn't in the top 3. I see Karl, Jackson, and Hollins... in that order.

I also need a picture of the handle (unpainted) with the grey tip.
Same dipstick that was in engine when I bought the car in 1972. Original owner lives about a 1/2 mile from me and we converse often and he has stated many times that the car was completely original when he traded it away in 1972.
Wow, thanks 1968RSZ28. I didn't find that forum string because I was spelling it as "dipstick" vice "dip stick" in my search. It looks like all my questions were answered with the other forum string...and that I have the correct 68 SB dipstick...round handle, no dimple, grey tip. Thanks everybody for the help and your time.

The NHL lockout ended in the early morning in the Grand Ballroom at the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan.
Arthur: NHL lockout is over
Bruce Arthur
National Post
Someone said, well, you might as well put your tie on, Shane, so Shane Doan took the blue diamond-checked tie out of his pocket and affixed it around his neck. He did it because the National Hockey League lockout of 2012-13 was over at 5 a.m. Eastern time, after a vast 16-hour bargaining session, and the cameras were coming in. He was the only player in the ballroom wearing a suit. Might as well look his best.
That is what the NHL and its players will have to do now, after 113 days spent battling and bickering and burning games. They will have to put the best face on a sport that was marred by a lockout that didn't need to go this long, and didn't need to be this ugly. The NHL needs to make amends, because the damage could be deep.
The lockout ended in the early morning in the Grand Ballroom at the Sofitel hotel in Manhattan when, after all this time, the major issues were agreed to in principle. There will be either a 50- or 48-game season that will begin as early as Jan. 15, and as late as the 19th. Training camps will open this week. The lockout is over.
"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have agreed on the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement," said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, standing side-by-side with the executive director of the NHLPA for the first time during the process in public. "We still have a lot of work to do, but it's good to be at this point."
"We'll get back to what we used to call business as usual just as fast as we can," said Fehr.
It is unlikely to be business as usual — not with a compressed season, with players whose internal clocks have been scrambled and perhaps in some cases left to rust, and not with whatever pain is left to come. Canadians will come swimming back like spawning salmon, and traditional American markets should — should — hold up, to varying degrees.
But in places where hockey was gasping for air, or was an afterthought, that's where danger lies. This was a humiliating, excessive, bloated, and wholly unnecessary lockout. This deal is hardly that different from the deal that was blown sky-high by Bettman on Dec. 6 in New York once Fehr returned to the talks, when Bettman responded to by sending moderate owner Ron Burkle of the Penguins and others home and tried to make it a take-it-or-leave-it deal. This didn't have to be this painful. It just was.
"No, five week ago [we were close], and that's why a lot of people will say this was ridiculous," said defenceman Chris Campoli, who is a free agent. When asked what made it come together today, a week before the NHL's publicly stated deadline for a 48-game season, he said, "I think there was a willingness to negotiate, probably a timeline, and not on our end."
The particulars look like this: It's a 10-year deal with an opt-out for either side after eight, so it guarantees labour peace until at least 2020. The two sides will split revenue 50-50, with US$300-million in make-whole money to cover contracts already signed. The players have strengthened their pensions, which are defined benefit plans with the majority of responsibility placed on the NHL. Pensions became the signature issue of the talks, and were agreed to in the early hours of the morning. Players said the settlement issue truly gave the talks some real momentum, and at that point they realized there might be a deal that night.
"I don't think there's any doubt that the pension is the centrepiece of this deal," said Ron Hainsey, a defenceman for the Winnipeg Jets, who was widely said to be a force for players in negotiations, and strong on every issue. "Gary said a month ago it was a tough negotiation. That's what it was … [at the end] there was more compromise, I guess."
The NHL will see term limits on player contracts for the first time, with players limited to seven-year deal if they sign with another team, and eight years with their own team. There will be two compliance buyouts per team, which will spur some serious player movement.
Teams can spend up to US$70.2-million this year, and the cap in 2013-14 will be US$64.3-million, which is closer to what the players wanted to begin the day than what the owners wanted. The floor, both years, will be US$44-million. The cap is also guaranteed not to fall below US$64.3-million in subsequent years. Contract variance from year-to-year will be limited to 35%, and can never drop below 50% of the highest year of any deal, which puts contracts in a box.
"Well, it was concessionary bargaining right from the beginning for the players, and you kind of understand that and you accept that, as much as you don't want to," said Doan, whose Phoenix Coyotes will now leap back near the top of the league's long list of problems. "That's the way it's been going [in sports] for the last 10 years. I think as a union we got the best deal we could possibly get. It was the best deal for us that was available. You don't want to go through this, but we did, and we're on the other side now."
There are a number of issues which still need to be agreed to, including the Olympics, though NHL participation seems likely. Realignment is also consigned to a future decision, and will not take effect this year. The deal will need to ratified by the owners and the players. It could take a few days to settle the non-dealbreaker clauses, and put the whole thing in writing. There is work to be done.
But it will be done, and there will be hockey again. Surely pressure from sponsors and some owners played a role, but federal mediator Scot Beckenbaugh deserves an enormous amount of credit for facilitating the process, moving the two sides closer in separate sessions on Friday and getting them in the same room on Saturday, beginning at 1:15 p.m. at the players' hotel, which was an important symbolic step. He was the Rosetta Stone that created common cause where Fehr and Bettman apparently could not, which is to their discredit. Because of Beckenbaugh there was a good feeling when the league walked the four blocks to meet the players, and it never quite broke apart through the session. This lockout has been characterized by enormous mistrust, occasional character assassination, and a growing toxicity. That vanished.
"He did a great job of keeping the sides going," said Doan, "and that was probably the biggest part. I was told by family and friend to lock us in a room and don't let us out, and the mediator kind of did that. That was huge. And at the same time, both sides got involved and got it done."
"We accomplished more today than in six months," said Boston defenceman Andrew Ference. "Really. That's not an exaggeration."
The fact that players had again given Fehr the right to dissolve the union and bring the courts into the process, with voting concluding at 6 p.m. Saturday night, probably helped. It helped earlier this week, too. Fehr never had to use the hammer, but he could wield it.
The end came when they agreed on a combination of issues that included the 2013-14 cap, variance, and salary arbitration, and there were whoops from the room on the second floor. A few minutes after 5 a.m. a voice rang out, saying, "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Bettman and Fehr looked elated, and relieved. The media was let in, the room was cleared of empty glasses and trays, and even Bettman smiled with players. The players — Hainsey, George Parros, Mathieu Darche, Martin St. Louis, Campoli, Jamal Mayers, Doan, Ference, and Craig Adams — looked satisfied. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly smiled the smile of a man who had gotten out from under a great weight. This was hard.
Now, reparations. The league miscalculated in trying to break the players the way it did, even though the players gave back on almost every front, winning small victories only at the end. And there should be hard feelings amid the elation of this sport rushing back, and exploding in a hundred different directions. There will be damage. It's hard to know how much.
"As players we believe the season can be a memorable one, and a sprint, and an exciting time for everybody," said Ference. "Hopefully we can put all the negativity behind us, and put the focus on this incredible condensed season.
"The image takes a hit. The sport doesn't change. Guys are still playing the same way, they're still the same athletes, the dreams about winning the Stanley Cup is the same, the commitment to their teammates are the same, and that's what I love about hockey. And that's where I hold hope that people who love hockey love hockey, and that's why they hate this part so much."
Well, this part is over, and it won't be back for a long time. Those who marred this season, and the game, should be held responsible in their own ways — it is hard to imagine Bettman will be the commissioner for the duration of this CBA, and there is already speculation that he could be eased out sooner rather than later. And Fehr, 64, is almost surely a one-and-done labour boss here, though he surely hopes he has rebuilt the smoking ruins of the NHLPA.
But now it's time to put in the ice, to sharpen the skates, to breathe in the cold air, and to try to make amends with the people whose faith was abused, again. Hockey is back. Fans will be thrilled. But the constituent parts of the NHL — the players and the owners, the stewards of the game — should be grateful as hell to anybody still loves them.

Feeling Helpless
When it had become apparent that my mother-in-law, Linda Jo Pointer was beginning to get sicker and sicker with breast cancer and that the chemo wasn't working [for the umpteenth time], we had a conversation that left me feeling so totally helpless [which is something that I don't like]. My son was just a baby and my daughter had just had her 2nd birthday. While on the phone with her, I was watching my daughter play on the floor with her toys and my son was laying down on the floor on a blanket drooling and cooing.
I Won't Let Them Forget
We had a conversation that I really didn't want to have, but knew that it was necessary. She said, "I'm not afraid to die. I know that this 'beast' is going to get me." ["Beast" was her nickname for breast cancer.] She went on to say, "...the one thing that upsets me is that my grandkids won't remember me." With tears in my eyes, I looked at her grandkids. I then replied with false bravado [hoping that she couldn't "hear" me holding back my tears], "Don't worry. I won't let them forget." Several months later on October 28, 1999, Linda passed away, leaving her disease-ridden body for her eternal one that would know no pain and no tears.
Remembering...A Steel Magnolias Moment
Of course, I knew at the time what she meant. She meant that they wouldn't have memories of her, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to control that [much to my chagrin]. However, my husband and I have tried our best over the years to bring grandma up at every moment possible. We talk about her and how much she loved the color purple, and how much she loved angels. We always say at birthdays and holidays how much grandma would've loved being here experiencing it with them. Also, we have photos of her displayed throughout the house.
I shared on Mother's Day a short story about my daughter ~ my Steel Magnolia's moment:
My kids may not technically "remember" grandma, but they do know her ~ it's the best that my husband and I could do.One of my favorite all-time chick movies is "Steel Magnolias" because of the display of friendship and family. However, I think my favorite scene is towards the end when the mother, Sally Field's character, is crying after her daughter's funeral, then she gets angry and says she wants to hit something. This is the point [of course] when you can't stop the tears from falling from your eyes, and just when you think you can't take anymore, Olympia Dukakis' character grabs Shirley McLain's character and replies, "Here, hit her." And suddenly you're laughing through your tears...comic relief...a release...
This is my mother-in-law, Linda Jo. She was the single best mother-in-law in the whole world, and I don't have to meet any of the others to know this. She loved her family, friends, dogs, kids, people, anything purple, and angels. I don't know exactly how the whole angels thing started. She was a hairdresser, and I think it began when one of her clients gave her an angel. It caught on, and soon thereafter all she received were angels for gifts for every occasion.
Linda fought a valiant fight against breast cancer. Though her body is gone, her spirit is alive and doing well [thank you very much]. Her spirit is in her kids...in her grandkids...Soon after she died, my husband was cleaning out her condo while I was at home with the kids [my son was just 6 months old]. I was changing my son's diaper while my daughter was standing on the bed watching. My husband called and asked what he should do with all of his mom's clothes [she had a ton of them]. I suggested he donate them, and then we hung up, both of us with heavy hearts. My daughter [two and a half at the time] was silent for a little while then she asked, "Mom, is grandma naked in heaven?" Obviously she had overheard our conversation, and I couldn't let her have an image of her grandma naked in heaven...So I replied, "No. No, honey. Grandma is not naked in heaven. She's wearing a long flowing purple robe." My daughter jumped off the bed and ran off to play, relieved that grandma was not naked in heaven. Aahhh...my own "Steel Magnolias" moment!
Some Things Are Better Left In History
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do something this month to become aware or to make others aware of breast cancer. In the top right-hand corner of my blog is a "button". Everytime it's clicked, a donation is made by a sponsor for a woman who can't afford a mammogram, and your cost? A click. That's it. If you have a blog, a "button" for your blog can be found on their site: TheBreastCancerSite.com. Make people aware. Also, if you're on Twitter or Facebook, breast cancer awareness Twibbons can be found here: Twibbon.com.
Let's make breast cancer a part of history and not a part of family history!
The "Grandma" design was made by Caroline Pointer. The angel was drawn by Linda's granddaughter.

"the comfy, cozy reality you've always known" Ha ha ! I don't know why these words make me smile, it reflects something deeply spiritual, coming from an experienced person. A majority of suffering humans will not recognize the reality they've always known as anything "comfy or cozy". In order to know that, one must have got completely lost, travelled to the border, to chaos, to madness, and back...

ReleasesBack to
Horace Silver
For a brief time, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan and trumpeter Art Farmer were the frontline of the Horace Silver Quintet. This 1997 CD reissue finds the group (which also includes bassist Teddy Kotick and drummer Louis Hayes) performing five of Silver's lesser-known originals and the standard "Ill Wind." The lyrical Farmer and the up-and-coming Jordan have plenty of fine solos, as does the influential Silver, whose funky, witty style stood apart from the prevailing Bud Powell influence of the era. Although none of the newer songs caught on as standards, this set (which has plenty of mood and groove variation) holds together very well and still sounds fresh 40 years later. ~ Scott Yanow

But despite a reprieve for the industry's key financial incentive, the production tax credit (PTC), the volume of new steel in the ground will be low compared with last year's record-breaking 13.1GW.
The PTC — worth $0.22/kWh for the first ten years of a project's life — lapsed on 31 December. Two days later, a re-elected president Barack Obama signed into law a one-year extension of the PTC, along with the investment tax credit (ITC), which incentivises offshore and community wind by giving them a tax break worth 30% of a project's capital expenditure.
To gain either credit, a project now only needs to have started construction - rather than have been commissioned — by year end, meaning that both credits have effectively been extended by 18-24 months or more.
This gives developers more certainty earlier, notes Gabriel Alonso, chair-elect of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and CEO of developer EDP Renewables (EDPR) North America. "You know you are bankable as soon as construction has started," he says.
Industry observers predict that turbine orders will pick up quickly. By mid-January, revamped business plans were being unveiled. Developer First Wind said it hoped to increase its 980MW operating portfolio by at least 50% over the next few years because of the tax credit extensions. Meanwhile EDPR, which last year had no plans to build wind in the US in 2013, says it will install some 400MW of wind by 2014-5.
By 2014, enough projects will already be under way to boost development to at least 6.6-8GW because of pent-up demand from 2013. However, as the PTC was not reinstated until early January, installations in 2013 will slow dramatically and development will not restart until the second half of the year.
"What happened happened too late," notes Dan Shreve, a partner at Make Consulting. Developers had iced their plans last year as the expiration approached and uncertainty took hold.
Continued low natural gas prices and sluggish electricity demand will create only a modest market pull, therefore players will continue to hedge their bets by expanding into the rest of the Americas, and Asia and into other renewables such as solar. "The (PTC) extension does not change the fact that demand for new (US) wind power capacity is low," said Make Consulting in a January note to clients.
Change of strategy
Meanwhile, the US industry is planning a change in lobbying strategy. AWEA has proposed a PTC phased out over six years, with its size reduced to 90% for projects completed in 2014, 80% for those completed in 2015; 70% for 2016; and 60% in both 2017 and 2018, with the tax credit ending after that. Getting the proposal attached to successful legislation will be a struggle, considering that Congress's political composition has not changed substantively despite the general election in November.
"We're also going to be making the case for the benefits of wind energy in saving consumers billions of dollars on their electric bills in all the states where renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are endangered," says Peter Kelley, AWEA's vice-president of public affairs. Kansas may be at the top of the endangered list — a bill to repeal the RPS was introduced there in January. Also under fire are the RPSs in North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico and Montana, say analysts.
The 13.1GW of 2012 new build was an 85% increase from 2011's additions of 7.1GW. Analysts predict at least 2.7-3GW of new US projects in 2013 compared with the 1-2GW projected with no PTC. Crucially, tax equity financing will be available this year in adequate quantities, say analysts, while banks will favour players with longer track-records.
Layoffs hit the US industry hard last year. There were more than 4,000, but that is likely to be "the tip of the iceberg", says Kelley.
Make's Shreve foresees consolidation among turbine manufacturers. One of the main surprises of 2012, he says, was the rapid contraction in the US tower industry despite the Department of Commerce in December imposing steep duties on towers from China of 45-71% because of alleged dumping.
The fate of Trinity Industries, a member of the Wind Tower Trade Coalition, initiator of the tower complaint against China, highlights the challenges US wind is facing. In 2012, Trinity bought fellow tower-coalition member DMI. Then, in November it emerged that it had temporarily closed one of DMI's tower plants in North Dakota, the state that is centre of the burgeoning Bakken shale field.
Apparently it was wind's most immediate competitor — shale oil and gas — that was benefitting. In the third quarter of 2012, Trinity said it had started converting wind-tower factories to manufacture railway carriages to haul shale oil and gas.
Two high-profile disputes will continue to be watched closely by the industry in 2013. A judge has been deciding whether the suit filed by Sany Group-affiliated Ralls Corp last autumn can proceed against the Obama administration. Sany officials have said that if the judge rejects the suit, they will sue Obama all the way to the Supreme Court, a lengthy procedure.
In a rare move, the US government blocked the Chinese-controlled company's Butter Creek wind projects in Oregon, citing national security concerns. And the dispute over intellectual property between Chinese turbine maker Sinovel and US-based electronics components company AMSC could advance again in China's courts once the Asian nation's transition of power to president Xi Jinping has been completed, in late February or March.
Offshore still stranded
Meanwhile, an offshore industry has struggled to take off in the US - no turbines have yet been installed and the projected start-date of projects has slipped. But the ITC's extension will buoy the industry. Analysts had expected Congress to allow the ITC to expire.
Two offshore projects may now proceed this year: EMI's controversial 468MW Cape Wind project off Massachusetts, if it secures financing, and Deepwater Wind's 30MW Block Island demonstration off Rhode Island. Analysts do not expect Block Island to face financing difficulties because it has not encountered much opposition. Still, industry observers only expect some 5GW installed offshore by 2015 or 2016, and 1GW by 2020. Most will be off the Atlantic coast.
In October, AWEA unveiled its first set of recommended practices for offshore wind projects. Developed with the Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the guidelines focus on five areas: structural reliability; manufacturing, qualification testing, installation and construction; equipment safety; operation and inspection; and decommissioning.
And in November, the US Department of the Interior announced the first-ever auctions for wind-project leases in federal waters, which are more than 5.6 kilometres offshore in almost all of the US. The auctions, for acreage off Virginia and off Massachusetts/Rhode Island, will probably occur in 2013.

In a hot pan, pour a good amount of olive oil in. When the oil starts to warm up, add garlic and turn the flame down.
Add the anchovies, if using (don't worry about mincing them as they will dissolve in the mixture). The anchovies should cook in the garlic oil until the garlic becomes brown and the anchovies dissolve.
When the garlic gets light brown, about 5 minutes, add chili flakes until they toast up and then turn flame off. Add more olive oil and salt and pepper for flavor.
Right before you heat the sauce in your fondue pot, add some minced parsley to cook in the sauce.

Renee ended up running close to full time this weekend because our green border collie forgot what flyball was. She did a great job and managed to get her FDCh. She was running in anchor and we were seeded way too fast, so I didn't get to see many of her times (the teams we were racing finished way before us, so the times were totaled before I had a chance to glance up), but I did see one 5.9. That is not anywhere near as fast as she should be able to run, but it's under 6! She was running mostly 7's in her last tournament. I think having Hannah in the lanes with her helped a bit. And of course I brought her long tug with me for every race except the last and she ignored it every time and just wanted food instead, but for the last race, I grabbed her wubba instead and she tugged with that. I wish I had tried it sooner. I was originally planning to stop flyball with her after this tournament because she doesn't like it nearly as much as agility, but she did well, seemed to be having more fun, and is only a few points away from her next title, so I may let her keep running.
And the other big brag from the weekend is that Hannah ran for a teammate! This is the first time we've ever tried having her run for someone else at a tournament, and we've only done it a couple of times in practice. She really likes "Miss Maxine" though, and did so well for her. Maxine said she even saw a 4.7, which is only a tenth slower than Hannah's best time ever. The only time we had a tiny issue was when I was running our team's GSD, Bart. Hannah was fine when I was running Renee, but didn't like it when I was running Bart and tried to get away from Maxine. Luckily we only had to do that a few times, and Maxine held on like a champ.
I'm so proud of both of my girls.

Barbara Harbaugh Measell
Class of 1970
Major/Minor: Psychology
After graduating from Washington College, I went to graduate school at North Carolina State University in psychology. I missed the smaller community we had at Washington College and never did get my masters.
Dan Measell '68 and I married in 1971 and have 2 adult daughters and 3 grandchildren. I worked as a computer programmer and data analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses for 35 years and retired almost 3 years ago. Dan worked in the mortgage industry and retired last spring. Now we have time to play with our grandchildren, go to our condo in Virginia Beach more often, and build our dream house in Spotsylvania County, VA. We plan to move into it this spring. We have lived in the Washington, D.C., suburbs for our entire marriage so this will be a welcome change.
We have gone to most of the reunions for both of our classes and are looking forward to seeing a large turnout for the class of 1970. One of the great things about going to a small college is that we know most of each other's classmates.

[ v59 p951 ]
59 FLRA No. 170
May 13, 2004
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman, and
Carol Waller Pope and Tony Armendariz, Members [n1]
I. Statement of the Case
These cases are before the Authority on negotiability appeals filed by the Unions (hereinafter referred to as Union) under § 7105(a)(2)(E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), and concerns the negotiability of three proposals. The Agency filed statements of position in both cases, following which the Union filed responses and the Agency filed replies. The Union filed supplemental submissions in both cases responding to the Agency's replies. [n2]
For the reasons explained below, we find that the proposals are outside the duty to bargain. Accordingly, we dismiss the petitions for review.
II. Consolidation of Cases
The Union requests that the cases be consolidated. See Union's Supplemental Submission, cover letter at 1. The Agency does not object to that request. We note that the petitions for review in both cases involve the same parties, arise from bargaining over the same matters, and contain an identical proposal. Although the petition in Case No. 0-NG-2682 contains one additional proposal, all of the proposals concern the furnishing of documents to the Union in connection with the Agency's decision to conduct a trial program to determine whether administratively uncontrollable overtime (AUO) pay is appropriate for law enforcement positions. Given the similarities in the cases, and noting that the parties' arguments are the same in both cases, we have consolidated them for decision. See AFGE, Local 3694, 58 FLRA 148 (2002).
III. Proposals
Proposal 19 in 0-NG-2682 and the Proposal in 0-NG-2685 [n3]
Management will provide the Union President with all the completed evaluation materials upon the conclusion of the 13 week trial period.
Proposal 20 in 0-NG-2682
Management agrees to provide the Union President all documentation collected and documented during any "Spot Checks" on any bargaining unit Rangers.
IV. Meaning of the Proposals
The parties agree that Proposal 19 means that upon conclusion of the trial period, the Agency will provide [ v59 p952 ] the Union with all completed evaluation materials. Post-Petition Conference Report at 2. The parties further agree that the term "evaluation materials" includes the following five sets of forms and documents: "(1) [Form] 9260-12 (sanitized); (2) [Form] 9260-15 (sanitized); (3) Initial calculation worksheet; (4) Recommendation yes/no; [and] (5) Decision yes/no." Id. at 3.
The Agency explains, and the Union does not disagree, that the categories of information encompassed by the proposals are as follows. First, Form 9260-12 contains a daily summary of each employee's daily activities, including confidential arrest information and law enforcement investigations. Form 9260-15 is a daily patrol log that includes a description of all work performed, including "detailed information regarding arrests, suspects, criminal activity, and potential witnesses . . . ." Statement of Position at 7.
As for the "Initial Calculation Worksheet," the Agency states, again without dispute, that it "is a sheet used by the supervisor to determine the percentage of AUO that [an employee] would qualify for according to the information provided by the AUO report, time sheets and Patrol Log." Id. at 8. The Agency explains that the fourth category of information, the "Recommendation yes/no," "is a recommendation that the Human Resources office gives to the State Director about the implementation of AUO" for each employee in the evaluation. Id. The fifth category of information consists of "the final decision that the State Director makes as to whether or not AUO will be implemented . . . ." Id.
The parties agree that Proposal 20 means that the Agency will provide the Union all documentation created during "spot checks" -- periodic reviews -- of AUO materials related to law enforcement positions. Post-Petition Conference Report at 3. The parties also agree that "spot checks" will occur only after the conclusion of the trial period and if AUO pay is implemented, and that the materials referred to in the proposal include the materials covered by Proposal 19. Id.
V. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency
The Agency asserts that the proposals are inconsistent with § 7114(b)(4) of the Statute. The Agency requests that the Authority reconsider and reverse its precedent which, according to the Agency, does not properly apply § 7114(b)(4) in determining the negotiability of proposals seeking the disclosure of information. The Agency contends that in seeking to negotiate over proposals that would entitle a union to information, a union should be required to make a showing of particularized need. The Agency claims, among other things, that the Union has not made such a showing in this case.
The Agency also asserts that the proposals are inconsistent with management's right to assign work under § 7106(a)(2)(B) and right to determine the methods and means of performing work under § 7106(b)(1) of the Statute. In this regard, the Agency asserts that the proposals would require the Agency to assign to employees the task of collecting and redacting all of the materials the Agency is required to provide the Union under the proposals. The Agency argues that to comply with the proposals, the Agency "would have to remove several employees from their regularly assigned duties for several weeks to collect, collate and redact approximately 9,800 documents containing confidential law enforcement and privacy information." Statement of Position at 21.
More particularly in terms of the amount of data that the Agency would be required to compile, the Agency states that the "five types of documents . . . consist of very voluminous data." Id. at 17. The Agency indicates that about 70 employees were involved in the evaluation process and that each employee was required to complete various forms. In explaining the types of information sought on Forms 9260-12 and 9260-15, the Agency states that:
For each day of each 5-day work week for the full 14-week period of the evaluation, each of approximately 70 participating [employees] was required to submit one of each of the forms (9260-12, 9260-15) or 2 forms per person per day, totaling 4,900 for both forms.
Id. at 19. The Agency asserts that, insofar as the Union is seeking approximately 9,800 documents, the proposals "can be characterized as a `fishing expedition' . . . ." Reply at 3.
The Agency also claims that the proposals are inconsistent with 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(C), which permits agencies to withhold from disclosure "records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes" where "production of such law enforcement records or information . . . could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy[.]" The Agency asserts that the data contained in the requested materials has been compiled for law enforcement purposes and contains information about private individuals, which could constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy if released. [ v59 p953 ]
B. Union
The Union asserts that the proposals are not inconsistent with § 7114(b)(4). The Union argues that the Authority has consistently held that the entitlement to information set forth in § 7114(b)(4) may be expanded through bargaining because that section establishes a "floor and not a ceiling" on a union's right to information. Union Response at 3.
The Union also asserts that the proposals do not interfere with management's rights to assign work and determine the methods and means of performing work. The Union argues that nothing in the proposals dictates the manner in which the requested materials will be created, copied, or provided to the Union. Id. at 5. The Union also states that "proposals cannot directly interfere with a statutory management right." Id. at 4. The Union contends that its proposals are similar to ones found negotiable by the Authority because they leave to management the discretion to determine who will create and copy the information and how copies of the information "will be created, copied, or produced to the Union." Id. at 5. The Union does not dispute the volume of documents that the Agency claims the proposals would require it to produce and furnish to the Union. Instead, the Union claims that "[a]ny inquiry with respect to the `who' and the `how' addresses the merits of the proposal, and not the negotiability of language." Id.
Additionally, the Union claims that the proposals are not inconsistent with 5 U.S.C. § 552a because the materials requested in the proposals would be sanitized. Id.
VI. Analysis and Conclusions
Under Authority precedent, it is well established that the right to assign work under § 7106(a)(2)(B) of the Statute includes the right to determine the particular duties to be assigned, the right to decide when work assignments will occur, and the right to decide to whom or what positions the duties will be assigned. See, e.g., NTEU, 53 FLRA 539, 567 (1997). Proposals or provisions that concern the assignment of specific duties to particular management officials affect an agency's right to assign work. AFGE, Nat'l Border Patrol Council, 51 FLRA 1308, 1315 (1996).
The Authority previously has found that proposals and provisions that require management to perform certain tasks affect the right to assign work. For example, in NTEU, 53 FLRA at 564-68, the Authority found that a provision that required the personnel office to select members of a rating panel affected the right to assign work because it assigned a specific task to that office. See also NFFE, Local 1437, 35 FLRA 1052, 1057-61 (1990) (proposal requiring civilian personnel office to appoint employees to rating and ranking panels and equal employment opportunity office to compile a list of nominees for the panel directly interfered with the right to assign work). The Authority also has found that proposals requiring an agency to create forms to be completed by employees, develop a national database and provide reports to the union, among other things, affected management's rights, including the right to assign work. See PASS, 59 FLRA 25 (2003).
The proposals in this case would require management to assign the tasks of collating, collecting and furnishing to the Union nearly 10,000 documents. [n4] Of that number, 9,800 documents, consisting of Forms 9260-12 and 9260-15 would have to be sanitized by agency personnel.
The record reflects that each of these two forms was completed by every employee for every workday during the evaluation period. Copies of each form included in the record indicate that the forms contain spaces for numerous data entries. For example, Form 9260-12 contains a grid for entering each employee's daily activities, including arrest information and law enforcement investigations. Information that must be entered on the grid includes an incident number, the location of each incident and 14 other characteristics, as well as the name of the employee, the office and specific pay period. Form 9260-15, the Patrol Log, also includes a description of all work performed on each day. This form is categorized by time, incident, location, and observations, which includes space for a narrative description, as well as other information.
The Agency argues, and the Union does not dispute, that the Agency "would have to remove several employees from their regularly assigned duties for several weeks to collect, collate and redact approximately 9,800 documents containing confidential law enforcement and privacy information." Statement of Position at 21. The requirement to redact these documents means that, for each of the thousands of Forms 9260-12 and 9260-15, Agency personnel would be required to examine the numerous entries on each form and, one-by-one, redact sensitive information. As the Agency [ v59 p954 ] claims, it would be precluded from assigning to those employees their regularly assigned duties. We agree with the Agency that the proposals affect management's right to assign work under § 7106(a)(2)(B) of the Statute.
We are unaware of any precedent, and the Union does not cite any, in which the Authority has directed parties to negotiate over a proposal that required an agency to collect, collate and redact nearly 10,000 documents. Cf. POPA, 48 FLRA 129, 155-158 (1993) (Member Armendariz dissenting as to other matters), petition for review denied as to other matters, POPA v. FLRA, 47 F.3d 1217 (D.C. Cir. 1995) (agency did not object to portions of proposals that required it to provide some reports to the union). The Union simply argues that the Authority has found proposals negotiable where management retains the right to determine to whom duties will be assigned and how the work will be performed.
The proposals here are distinguishable from those in which an agency was required to simply take a ministerial act in implementing a negotiable procedure that was not self-effectuating or take some action in addition to that already taken as part of management's general duties. For example, in POPA, 47 FLRA 954, 958-59 (1993) (POPA), the Authority found negotiable a proposal that simply required certain actions by management personnel to whom the agency had already assigned similar duties. Likewise, in NTEU, 43 FLRA 1279, 1293-94 (1992) and AFGE, AFL-CIO, Local 446, 43 FLRA 836, 844-45 (1991), the Authority found that the requirement to create written records reflected existing agency requirements or those established by other legal authority. While the Authority has determined, in these and other cases, that "some assignment of work" to management personnel may be appropriate and negotiable, POPA, 47 FLRA at 959, in our view, requiring management to furnish an excessive amount of material in this case is neither.
In finding that the proposals affect the right to assign work, we acknowledge the statement of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in NLRBU, Local 6 v. FLRA, 842 F.2d 483, 486 (D.C. Cir. 1988) (NLRBU v. FLRA), that "[s]ection 7106 by any reading does not prohibit the disclosure of anything." We do not read the court's statement as barring the Authority from considering the effect of the proposals on management's right to assign work. We note two points, in this regard. First, the Authority has previously stated, in addressing the negotiability of a provision in NTEU, 55 FLRA 1174, 1186 n.15 (1999) (Member Wasserman dissenting in part), that "[n]othing in NLRBU v. FLRA suggests that contract provisions are insulated from the constraints of section 7106(a) simply on the ground that they concern the release of information held by an agency." Second, the Authority has consistently applied § 7106 as a limit on the scope of bargaining. Thus, applying the limitations of § 7106 is entirely appropriate in resolving the negotiability of the proposals -- even those that pertain to the disclosure of information.
In sum, for the reasons explained above, we agree with the Agency that the proposals affect management's right to assign work. As the Union makes no claim that the proposals are negotiable under § 7106(b)(2) or (3) of the Statute, we dismiss the petitions for review. [n5]
VII. Order
The petitions for review in Case No. 0-NG-2682 and Case No. 0-NG-2685 are dismissed.
Concurring Opinion of Chairman Cabaniss:
I write separately to more directly address the situation presented, here, i.e., where a proposal seeks to negotiate information entitlements in excess of those provided by § 7114(b)(4) of the Statute. Proposals falling within the parameters of § 7114(b)(4) clearly are governed by traditional precedent § 7114(b)(4) precedent such as the NLRBU, Local 6 v. FLRA court case cited in the majority opinion. And, as regards that precedent and proposals subject to that precedent, an agency's rights under § 7106(a) provide no ability to withhold the information.
On the other hand, where (such as here) a proposal seeks to establish an entitlement in excess of that provided by § 7114(b)(4), I would subject the proposal to a traditional § 7117 analysis. Under § 7117, in the event an agency asserted that one of its § 7106(a) rights was affected by the proposal, the Authority would examine whether the proposal falls within the range of proposals bargainable under § 7106(b). Consistent with that belief and the majority opinion, I would find the proposals here to be outside of the duty to bargain.
File 1: Authority's Decision in 59 FLRA No.
170 and Opinion of Chairman Cabaniss
File 2: Opinion of Member Pope
Footnote # 1 for 59 FLRA No. 170 - Authority's Decision
Chairman Cabaniss' concurring opinion and Member Pope's dissenting opinion are set forth at the end of this decision.
Footnote # 2 for 59 FLRA No. 170 - Authority's Decision
For the reasons set forth in note 5, infra, we do not consider the arguments raised in the Union's supplemental submissions.
Footnote # 3 for 59 FLRA No. 170 - Authority's Decision
While the proposals reference a 13-week trial period, the Agency states that the trial period was later expanded to 14 weeks. See Statement of Position at 3. The Union does not dispute this claim.
Footnote # 4 for 59 FLRA No. 170 - Authority's Decision
This total is derived from the following: 4,900 copies of Form 9260-12; 4,900 copies of Form 9260-15; 70 copies of the Initial Calculation Worksheet; and unspecified numbers of "Recommendation yes/no" forms, "Decision yes/no" forms and all documentation collected and documented during "spot checks."
Footnote # 5 for 59 FLRA No. 170 - Authority's Decision
In light of this conclusion, we find that there is no need to address the parties' additional contentions, including those the Union claims in its supplemental submissions were untimely raised by the Agency in its reply briefs.

Seeds of the great American Revolution were sowed in Boston. The Boston Tea Party (initially referred to by John Adams as simply "the Destruction of the Tea in Boston" was a nonviolent political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, on December 16, 1773. Disguised as Indians, the demonstrators destroyed the entire supply of tea sent by the East India Company in defiance of the American boycott of tea carrying a tax the Americans had not authorized. They boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into Boston Harbor, ruining the tea. The British government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution. Read moreů

Niacin: Essential for Good Health Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is one of the B-complex group of vitamins. It plays an important role in the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and protein to energy. It is also involved in the synthesis of male and female sex hormones. Niacin promotes healthy skin and efficient functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. It has also been demonstrated to improve mental alertness due to its ability to enhance microcirculation.
Various studies have demonstrated that this vitamin, in its niacin form, reduces cholesterol and triglycerides. Therefore, it is of assistance in the prevention of heart disease. Diabetes and multiple sclerosis may also improve under a regime of niacin supplementation. Further studies are needed before specific health benefits can be determined.Niacin also acts as a detoxifier, assisting the body to rid itself of toxins, pollutants, organic poisons, certain insecticides, and drug residues.
Vitamin B3 works best in conjunction with vitamins B1, B2, and C; and is usually taken together as a B-complex source. Niacin is safe to use at recommended dosages (usually 100 mg daily); those taking the supplement at higher dosages should do so under the direction of a physician.

Cloud adoption shows no sign of slowing down. Couple high reliability and high availability with minimal IT overhead management costs, and it is easy to see why so many organizations are implementing cloud-based infrastructure and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. And yet, few have the mechanics in place to protect the data within their SaaS infrastructure. Most organizations still mistakenly assume their SLA agreements cover data (they don't) or rely on legacy backup tools to handle new cloud-based systems (they can't).
In an age where data is the lifeblood of every business, companies are vulnerable to costly, irreparable damage if they aren't prepared to protect data within the SaaS infrastructure from cyber threats, data loss, malicious (or careless) employees, and simple user errors.
In this slideshow, OwnBackup CEO Sam Gutmann outlines the top three data dangers lurking in cloud environments and offers three tips for how to manage data protection and backup in a SaaS-based world.

International Equine Genome Mapping Workshop
The 8th Dorothy Russell Havemeyer Foundation International Equine Genome Mapping Workshop took place near Newmarket, UK from July 22 to 25, 2009...[more]
Writers at the Louisville Courier Journal recently won the 2008 Media Eclipse Award for journalism based on an article about Thoroughbred racing and break-downs. They published a 3 part story, including genetics, track surfaces and medications. In connection with the genetics section they interviewed several members of the Horse Genome Project. See the accompanying links for the full stories on the 2008 Media Eclipse Award and the article itself.
Courier-Journal Web site wins award for horse project
Genetics may hold key to Injury-prone horses
[December 2008]
The first draft of the horse genome sequence was recently completed and deposited...
[JAVMA News, April 2007]
Data on Equine Genome Freely Available to Researchers Worldwide
[NIH News, February 2007]
The first genome map of a horse is complete, providing scientists with new tools for investigating equine disease. [ April 2006]
The Horse Genome Project is a cooperative international effort by over 100 scientists in 20 countries to define the
genome, the DNA sequence, of the domestic horse. With this
knowledge, scientists can begin to understand the genetic aspects of
equine physiology and disease. Genetic tools have the potential to
help researchers find new therapies and treatments for diseases such
as laminitis, respiratory diseases, etc.
Some horsemen may worry that once the horse genome is sequenced, all the mystery and magic will be gone from horse breeding and ownership -- colorful characters around a racetrack replaced by colorless scientists with computer printouts and test tubes. Fear not. The study of the horse genome is more like studying the weather than inventing a sports car. Consider the following. All our research on the weather has shown we can experience a sunny day in Florida knowing that a hurricane will arrive in two days, but we cannot change the hurricane. Still the knowledge allows us to make choices; when the hurricane approaches we can abandon town or we can shore up our foundations. Successful use of genomic tools will help the horse breeders, veterinarians and horse owners to do better what they already do… anticipate problems, predict outcomes and enjoy the unique interaction between horses and people.
