The following editorial ran in The Virginian-Pilot on June. 14, 2013.
A bill is moving through the N.C. General Assembly that would remove obstacles that have prevented creation of the state's largest landfill in rural Camden County, just south of Chesapeake.
Lawmakers in Raleigh apparently think so little of northeastern North Carolina that they view a giant landfill as the region's best hope for economic development. And it seems they have even less regard for their neighbors in southeastern Virginia.
A bill is moving through the N.C. General Assembly that would remove obstacles that have prevented creation of the state's largest landfill in rural Camden County, just south of Chesapeake.
The proposed landfill, near the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and the Northwest River, drew intense opposition a decade ago from residents on both sides of the state line.
Officials in Chesapeake took the matter to court over concerns that the dump designed to take in 10,000 tons of trash a day would harm the river, a major source of drinking water for city residents and businesses.
North Carolina lawmakers, led by then-state Sen. Marc Basnight, passed a measure in 2007 prohibiting new landfills near any wildlife refuge or waterway. The restrictions essentially shut down planning for the 1,060-acre landfill, proposed by Black Bear Disposal LLC, a subsidiary of Waste Industries.
But the current General Assembly, engaged in a frenzy of gutting common-sense regulatory protections, is moving forward with the Solid Waste Reform Act of 2013. Among other things, this "reform" would eliminate the restrictions enacted in 2007.
As The Virginian-Pilot's Jeff Sheler reported this week, it's unclear whether Waste Industries hopes to renew its efforts to build a giant landfill in Camden. But if the bill passes, the stage would be set, and officials in Chesapeake are preparing to challenge the project if it is revived.
The proposal - shortsighted from its inception - looks even more ridiculous today.
After the 2007 bill was passed, Camden officials began working on plans to create an eco-friendly corridor on U.S. 17 near the landfill site. Nearly $6 million in grants have been invested in running water and sewer lines to and building roads for an industrial park designed to attract "green" businesses.
The recession slowed progress on the industrial park, but The Pilot's Jeff Hampton reported recently that eight companies have contacted county officials about locating there, mostly in the past six months.
The corridor's potential is heightened by work under way across the state line in Chesapeake. Dominion Boulevard is being widened, and the Steel Bridge is being replaced. The project will fix one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the region and would significantly boost the appeal of Camden to companies interested in locating or expanding in Hampton Roads.
If revived, a giant landfill would quickly trash that potential and pose a threat to Chesapeake's future, too.
Unfortunately, North Carolina's legislators are in a pellmell mindset, squandering step by step _ the state's reputation for sound business judgment.
It's up to residents of Camden and neighboring counties, as well as the people of Hampton Roads, to ensure that Gov. Pat McCrory and lawmakers in Raleigh fully understand the consequences of what they're doing. If another fight is what they want, it will be hauled their way.

McALESTER — Arizona starting pitcher Calvin Lebrun limited Colorado to two runs on six hits, and Arizona never looked back after a three-run bottom of the third, beating Colorado in Wednesday's 2013 Jr. Sunbelt Classic championship, 5-2, at Mike Deak Field in McAlester.
With his team up 5-2, Lebrun pitched a scoreless fifth inning, then struck out his first two batters of the sixth. But with two outs and their team down by two runs, Colorado's Keenan Eaton and Jeremy Hochmuth both singled to left field.
Lebrun escaped the sixth inning without giving up a run, getting Korbin Williams to ground into an unassisted fielder's choice at third base.
Still down three heading into the top of the seventh, Colorado's Tyler Loptein reached on an error. But Lebrun bounced right back to strike out Andrew Nicklanovich looking for Lebrun's sixth strikeout of the game, then got leadoff hitter Cameron Frazier to bounce one at third baseman Turner Lace.
Lace fielded the grounder, threw it to Payton Squier covering second, then watched as Squier threw to Cameron Ming for the game-ending, championship-clinching double play. Lebrun picked up the win and was named the tournament's Outstanding Pitcher.
Arizona teammate Luis Gonzalez, who went 2-for-3 including an RBI double in the bottom of the third that put Arizona up 1-0, was named Most Valuable Player.

Wednesday 6/11/14 - We have another Followup to last week's Alert out, with pointers to mainstream news coverage, a more detailed analysis of Senator Shelby's apparent turf-grab, and the latest on what you can do to help.
Thursday 6/5/14 - We have a Followup to yesterday's Alert out. Thanks for your help! But we didn't get the job done today; there was no mention of changing the bad Commercial Crew language in this morning's CJS Appropriations markup. If you want to know what comes next, plus more background on the problem, here it is.
Wednesday 6/4/14 - We have a new Space Access Political Action Alert out, an urgent short-fuse item requiring action by 9am EDT Thursday. There's poison-pill language that needs to be removed for NASA Commercial Cargo & Crew in the Senate CJS (NASA) Appropriations bill that goes to the full Senate Appropriations Committee for markup at 10 am Thursday.
Tuesday 5/13/14 - We have a new Space Access Update out, #135, with policy advice on a number of current space issues that may hit the fan soon - Russian and Station, RD-180, and SLS - plus some cautious optimism about resuming Space Access conferences.
Tuesday 12/31/13 - We have a new Space Access Update out, #134, with a message of cautious optimism for the new year, plus some less cheerful news about this coming April's planned Space Access '14 conference. We very much regret to announce that, due to circumstances arising that will require a great deal of the conference manager's time in coming months, this April's Space Access conference is cancelled. We'll be contacting those who paid for advance SA'14 registrations at SA'13 about refunds this week. (If you haven't heard from us by this weekend, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, with the subject line SA'14 Refund.)
Sunday 8/4/13
- We're coming up fast on the 20th anniversary of DC-X's first
flight later this month, and some of the people involved have
organized a conference in New Mexico, Friday August 16th
through Sunday August 18th, to mark the occasion.
I've volunteered to help out with the conference, and that's what I'm
writing to you about today.
Much of the original DC-X team will be there, to be honored and to talk about how they did it, techniques used and lessons learned. There will also be a look at some of the many things that came of DC-X's success, plus a Reusable Spaceplane X-Vehicles workshop looking to what should come next, as well as a tour of the New Mexico Spaceport.
This is a one-of-a-kind event. It's very unlikely that all these people will ever be in one place at the same time again. If you have a deep interest in where "new space" came from, where it is now, and where it should go next, this event is more than worth a trip to New Mexico in August.
Conference agenda and details at http://dc-xspacequest.org/
thanks for your time

Saturday, 4/20/13 - Space Access '13 Web Roundup - As usual, Clark Lindsey of NewSpace Watch has done an amazing job both covering the conference in detail and rounding up pointers to other coverage. His Space Access'13: Summary and Resources leaves very little out; the only things we can think of so far to add are Jeff Foust's Space Review piece Hacking Space and a pointer to Twitter coverage under the hashtag #sa13 (somewhat confusingly, a couple other events used the same hashtag, but it's pretty clear which are which.)
We have a new Space Access Update out, #131, on the NASA Tech Data Drought, The Race Is Far From Over, Free Advice, and a "Warning Shots" Correction.
We have a new Space Access Update out, #130, "Warning Shots". (This Update gets referenced in a story on Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log at nbcnews.com.)
Monday, 1/7/13 - The
dates for our next annual conference on the business, technology, and
politics of radically cheaper access to space, Space Access '13,
are set. Conference sessions will begin 9 am Thursday April
11th and end 6 pm Saturday April 13th, 2013.
Advance conference registration is $120 (Student rate $40), mail checks to Space Access '13, PO Box 16034, Phoenix AZ 85011. (We will have online credit card registration open here later this month.)
One additional announcement: We have always viewed the Space Studies Institute's mission (http://ssi.org/) as complementary to ours, and it gives us considerable pleasure to announce that this year we will be hosting our colleagues at SSI for a half-day SSI session at SA'13.
Watch here for more on the conference details in the coming weeks.
Wednesday, 3/14/12 - How time flies! Another Congressional funding season is underway, and you have your first chance to push Congress to spend at least some of its billions in space funding on useful things. Help support full funding for NASA's Commercial Crew and Space Technology programs!
Thursday, 12/15/11 - We have a new update out, SAU #129, with word of a surprising victory in the continuing battle over the future of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
Thursday, 9/15/11 - We have a new update out, SAU #128, with our thoughts on traditional NASA development costs, and some pointed questions for tomorrow's Commercial Crew forum.
Tuesday, 7/26/11 - We have a new update out, SAU #127, with the latest on the FY'12 NASA Appropriation, Commercial Crew news, and Space Launch System political developments. Hope to see you all at the SFF Conference later this week!
Friday, 7/8/11 - We have
a new Update out, SAU
#126, with an urgent
Political Action Alert - a chance for you to make a
positive difference in this country's future in space, plus some
thoughts on Shuttle: Looking Back, And Forward.
Thursday, 7/7/11 - We have a new Update out, SAU #125. "This is a heads-up - there will be significant Congressional action next week on NASA budget items that matter to us. Our window to make a difference should open in the next day or so. The next thing we send out will almost certainly be a Political Action Alert, another chance for you to make a positive difference in this country's future in space."
(As we mentioned in Update #124, those of you who took part in our last political push helped nudge the process noticeably in the right direction - the rest of you, what are you waiting for? This time, join in - once you have the targeting info, make the call and help us make a real difference!)
Monday, 6/20/11 - We have a new Update out, SAU #124, with some thoughts on current issues - SLS "Competition", Commercial Crew & Cargo's direction, the state of the Newspace industry, and a possible extension of the CSLAA.
Space Access Society: Who are we?
There are countless useful, interesting, and profitable things we could do if we had routine affordable access to space. But, as the old down-Maine joke goes, "you can't get there from here." Half a century into the Space Age, it still takes years of paperwork and planning and costs tens to hundreds of millions per mission to reach Earth orbit, drastically constraining the otherwise huge opportunities. It isn't the laws of physics or engineering that are stopping us - there's nothing in either that prevents reusable rockets based on available technology from operating at costs and reliabilities a lot closer to modern airliners than to current rockets. Yet somehow, after all the early promise, we ended up in a blind alley. We've spent a generation there. Enough is enough.
Space Access Society thinks the problem has a lot more to do with political and bureaucratic inertia than with any fundamental engineering obstacles. SAS's sole purpose is to promote routine, reliable, radically cheaper access to space, ASAP. We think it's possible within the decade, with a little luck and a lot of hard work. Welcome to our minimalist retro text-intensive web page, where we'll try to give you a handle on how we think we can get out of the long-time NASA-industrial complex expensive-space dead end. Here's the longer version: Space Access Society Policy Summary (due for an update at some point, but still amazingly relevant for something written eight years ago.)
And here's our Updates backlist, so you can see how our understanding of the problem has evolved over the years:
Space Access Update back issues
One of the higher-profile things we do is our annual Space Access conference on the technology, politics, and business of radically cheaper space transportation, featuring leading players in the field. The most recent was Space Access '11, April 7-9 2011 in Phoenix Arizona, our nineteenth (we've been at this that long?) annual conference. SA'11 was again an interesting mix of the usual suspects and some unusual new additions, again providing an intensive informal snapshot of where the growing cheap space access industry was this spring 2011. Here's the program book for SA'11, to give you an idea what our conferences are like. Stay tuned for more info on Space Access '12, mid April 2012 in Phoenix Arizona as we start getting it organized in the coming months.

Thoracic Aortic Surgery Program
Cedars-Sinai's Thoracic Aortic Surgery Program specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of diseases affecting the thoracic aorta, which may cause dilation, aneurysm and dissection.
Thoracic Aortic Surgery Program
Current treatment options for the aorta, the largest artery in the body, are the result of many years of innovation. For 30 years Cedars-Sinai physicians have addressed the effects of injury and disease in this vital artery. Accelerated technical progress, particularly over the last 15 years, has resulted in today's state-of-the-art medical and surgical approaches to aortic disease. In the early history of aortic surgery, nationally the morbidity and mortality rates were high. Today even the most difficult aortic conditions in high-risk patients yield to world-class innovation and the expertise in aortic surgery at Cedars-Sinai's Thoracic Aortic Surgery Program. The program is under the direction of Alfredo Trento, MD, who has led advances in thoracic aortic surgery at Cedars-Sinai since 1988.
Early detection, monitoring and treatment of aortic disease, including appropriately timed elective surgery, are key to successful outcomes. The goal whenever possible is to avoid life-threatening emergencies that too often prove fatal. Conditions affecting the aorta are serious, but through expert diagnosis and treatment, lifestyle modifications and ongoing medical care, patients under the care of aortic specialists may continue to enjoy normal, productive lives. If at any time you have questions about aortic disease in general or the treatment program at Cedars-Sinai, you are welcome to contact the program's liaison.
A Comprehensive Team Approach
Aortic disease is complex, degenerative, and typically progressive in nature. Other heart conditions may also be present, calling for a comprehensive approach to each patient. Under the leadership of Eduardo Marban, MD, Director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, and Tim Henry, MD, Director of the Division of Cardiology, Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute is comprised of expertise spanning all aspects of the medical and surgical treatment of cardiac and aortic disease. The Thoracic Aortic Surgery Program, an area of specialization within Cardiothoracic Surgery, draws from expertise throughout the Heart Institute in providing world-class care for those with aortic disease. Please click on the Our Expert Team link in the side menu to become acquainted with the entire Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute team.
To comprehensively evaluate our patients, we work in partnership with other specialty areas at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, including the Department of Neurosurgery. Because many of the risk factors for aortic and cerebral aneurysms are the same, patients with those risk factors undergo careful evaluations for the brain, as well as the entire aorta. Dr. Wouter Schievink, Director of Neurovascular Surgery, and the Department of Neurosurgery's neuroradiologists provide world-class diagnosis and treatment services for aneurysms and dissections in cerebral vessels.
Additional areas of expertise, including imaging and nuclear medicine, also perform some of the state-of-the-art diagnostic testing required for accurate measurement and assessment of each individual. A specific treatment strategy, designed to address all aspects of aortic, cardiac and vascular disease, is developed for each individual based on their diagnostic test results. Patients and their families are key members of this team approach to treatment, which includes medical therapy, lifestyle modifications, ongoing monitoring and potentially elective surgery.
Introduction to Aortic Surgery
The surgical removal of some portion of diseased aorta is called aortic resection. A Dacron® graft is used to replace the diseased aortic tissue. Dacron grafts are an excellent example of successful substitution of a synthetic material within the human body. Dacron is so completely compatible with the body that rejection and calcification do not occur. With the passage of time the body deposits its own tissue into the Dacron graft. Today's modern Dacron grafts are strong, flexible and collagen impregnated, making them impervious to blood. The durability of these grafts exceeds that of the human life span.
Surgery on the thoracic aorta is in some respects similar to other types of open-heart surgery. Particular details regarding the size and location of the incision, the use of the heart-lung machine and specialized techniques used to provide neurologic protection vary depending on the type of aortic surgery being performed.

Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is a powerful, passionate theme that catapults individuals against their world, the times and themselves.
The State Ballet Theatre of Russia will add a new dimension of emotion to this classic when it presents the enduring story in dance at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, 450 Schoolhouse Road, Richland Township.
Igor Levin, the company's managing director and symphony conductor, said the troupe's adaptation of the timeless love story will be unusual in terms of presentation.
"Unusual in the way the historical lives of the characters will be presented and the unique language of the choreography," Levin said.
That choreography is the brainchild Mikhail Lavrovsky, former principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, and now a leading Russian choreographer for the Bolshoi and other companies.
Lavrovsky's father, Leonid Lavrovsky, was one of Russia's most remarkable and influential choreographers, and his mother Elena Chikvaidze, was a famous Bolshoi ballerina, Levin said.
"Given the history of this father-son relationship, this production of 'Romeo & Juliet' is much different from what most people have seen before," Levin said.
"The costuming is unbelievably rich and shows the Italian influence as Shakespeare intended it."
The classic tragedy of star-crossed lovers has been adapted to be told through the movements of ballet.
The State Ballet Theatre of Russia is based in Voronezh, a cultural mecca 300 miles south of Moscow.
"We started our current tour Dec. 2, and we will sandwich our performance in Johnstown between appearances in Chicago and New York," Levin said.
The highest price ticket for the Johnstown show is $35.
The same ticket in the larger cities would cost $80.
"I would call that a good bargain," Levin said.
If you go ...
What: State Ballet Theatre of Russia's "Romeo & Juliet."
Where: Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, 450 Schoolhouse Road, Richland Township.
When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1.
Tickets: Available from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays at the box office or by calling 269-7200, (800) 846-2787 or visiting www.upjarts.org.
Cost: $28, $30, $35.

- Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; mix until smooth and creamy; remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Fold in the marshmallows and walnuts.
- Scatter about half of the coconut onto a large baking sheet. Form the chocolate mixture into two oblong logs and lay them onto the coconut. Use the remaining coconut to coat the logs. Refrigerate until the logs are firm, about 1 hour. Cut logs into 3/4-inch slices.

I love making these cookies for Christmas but I found you HAVE to use MARGARINE instead of real butter. When I used real butter, I didn't get a creamy texture and the marshmallows were really hard to coat. I still haven't found an easy way to apply the coconut evenly but they're still fun to make and even better to eat.
I love these! My Mom has made this recipe every Christmas, and now I do too. They look pretty on a tray of assorted cookies. Something I do to make it easier to shape them into logs is to use empty aluminum foil boxes - the bigger size. I line the boxes with plastic wrap, sprinkle coconut on the wrap, then add the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with additional coconut, close up the wrap and the box, put them in the fridge to cool, and you're ready to slice!
These were so simple to fix and tasted pretty good too. They are very very sweet though. I used unsalted butter and regular milk chocolate chips. The chocolate took a long time to melt over low heat (about 18 minutes) but it also did not melt the marshmallows as I was afraid it would. I don't have a double boiler I just used the lowest heat setting and stirred it often. I left out the nuts due to possible allergies as these were for gift trays. I rolled the logs up in waxed paper and froze them overnight. They sliced easily the following morning straight from the freezer. Thanks for the great recipe. This was the first time I've ever made these and they were so easy!

Alec had a good Christmas...and I was not even able to finish getting ready the gifts I had for him. I was only to do so much since I was sick... I hope I can do this today.
Santa brought him a little tent and games and things. So it was a good day for everyone.
I was able to talk to Noah for a minute....he does not like talking on the phone. I am sure he is ready to come home.
I think they will be back at the end of the week. It has been a rough time for them. So much sadness during the holiday.
Welcome to the new members who have joined our unique FM support group. I am sure that soon each of you will find something that will help you cope better. It does take a trial and error process which does take time and effort. What works for one may or may not work for someone else.
Vitamin D....be sure and ask your doctor about getting your Vitamin D level checked. Low Vitamin D can cause additional pain for some people and it can also affect other illnesses as well.
Here is hoping today will be a good day for all of us.
Be safe and stay warm.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
My personal exchanges are Vitamin D and Pain and Wrath of the Dragon....if you care to visit..
OMG what a two day affair. The magic was palpable right down to the kids yelling OMG IT IS SNOWING!! Then the littlest said, "Santa did that so he can come with my gifts....."
My Spiderman doll was the hit with him and we all got *webbed*. I got a D* on the plastic plates......well at least for the ravioli apparently, but it sure was nice to throw everything out and not wash dishes and utensils....
I was 3/4 through when the wall came and I couldn't move, the legs were locked from points in the hips and the back was shot. Funny the neck (my nemesis) was quiet.
DH finished the cake part and I sat in Santa's chair taking in the whole crowd.
I reset well on Christmas day with the extra meds I took....but then I had dinner at my house at 5pm plus (not when I am any good) and we had china and glasses and full meal (only 8 ) but I can't tell you how it has put me in the recliner with pain...the GC jumping on me and hugging me and Maddy wanting me to hold her.....supporting them on the rocking horse we have here... It put me over the top. My two DIL's are bonded and just sat talking and sharing (that is good.....) but it left me in trouble .
The house is chaos, and I am so glad I took off today to help start the straightening.......I will go for a massage later. I missed shots on the eve because I got the stomach bug that was going around and diarrhea and nausea were annoying me.....BUT I don't have shots now til January 14th. SO...I need as many tools from the box as I can find...
I so hope that the holidays were special for the fmily. I see some of you on FB and saw the joy of the season as the days unfolded....The added snowfall here made it a special event as I gave out sleds as well....and we were pulling them on the rugs around the house (and then I ask why my body hurts!)
It is time to plan the resolutions for the New Year! The hopes of changing something for the better and getting things in line...
I will put some ideas on the burner and figure out mine. I did buy me a scanner to get the JUNK in my life filed and then burned away to decreae the clutter......my DH is so patient a man!*
Best gift I got...Maddy called me Nana and also spontaneously said I"I love YOU" as "I WWUUUU" She is not speaking yet....slow to start and I know it will be FOREVER when she starts!
OK...what was your best gift? Hugs to all, a low pain day in the hopes for the fmily at large..and stay WARM! Nancy B
My greatest Present came from God as He kept me gallently out of bed and strong enough to have that very Merry Christmas Spirit afore mentioned... I was having my doubts I could accomplish it... I had been very ill all week and very very ill Christmas Eve... But I woke up Christmas Day with a bright spirit and a song in my soul... I could feel my angels holding me up with every step I took...
My heart was still a bit empty in spots for it would have been my DH and mine 13th wedding anniversary and insted today is the year anniversary of his death... I still shed tears inside and out... Still feel him hold my hand and tell me how he love me and he is so proud I am strong...
I don't feel strong today... I feel so lost without him at times... It still hurts so bad... But he is not in our pain now... He i whole again and not fighting to walk on a fake leg... He isn't having chet pain every other day for a weak heart... He is happily healthy... And I am sure he has found a wonderful brook to fish by... And he is warming it up for me...
And he has joined my long list of angels watching over me and keeping me safe... You know those that break all my falls so I don't break anything... lol... They have their jobs built up for them... I am definitely keeping them busy lol...
The grandkids had a magical Christmas... They were all tired out lat night... They are sleeping late... lol...
I have physical therapy... and soft tissue therapy is electrical hot massage and then massage with an object... then a tough massage by my therapist... then ice packing it... He hasn't done anything yet for my balancing... Better start soon... Today is #4 of 15... Can't use them all in one shot... Not with my parkinsons on the roll... need to save some for latter...
I need to get ready to go... You all have a wonderful day...
Take Care... Love... Jan/Dakota
Cold here, with a dusting of snow Christmas morning. There's still a little out there in the shady spots. Nobody seemed disappointed with their gifts, even DH, whom I surprised with a Keurig coffee maker. [He surprised me with a Nook eReader.> The kids get books (the little ones) or bookstore gift cards (high school and college kids), and they can all use them. I added one of those USB thumb drives, and they all said "I can really use this!"
We saw all our siblings but one, and most of our nieces and nephews. Some are coming later this week. I ate everything and am paying for it today! I also broke out in hives Christmas Eve, and I'm still trying to figure out why. The started on my feet and legs and have expanded up my body.
I wish you the best Day-After-Christmas you can possibly have,
I can only stay on a few lines cause DH and I are putting the house and yard back to normal. it was really quite interesting to see the house go back in less than an hour, the yard, well it's spitting snow, cold and windy, so it's taking a much longer time to take down the lights and place then into their containers. But by days end the house will look normal and I like it better that way.
I hope this post finds each of you rested from your holiday festivities and that you are feeling well. @ Jan Dakota, I know you are dealing with the memories of your DH but as you say he is your angle watching over you. I hope you begin to feel better. DH and I went to see Le Mes yesterday and it's a wonderful movie. A MUST SEE, A NOT MISS movie. It will take best picture at the Oscars. Russel Crow will get a Oscar nod. He was GREAT. So if you have a free afternoon or evening go see it.
We may not be able to go to NC after all as the weather is just so bad between here and there. DD has called twice today telling us how bad the weather is there and their area is under a tornado alert and the rain is just pouring down And she said will not be good for the next few days. So I guess we're not going.
OK DH wants me to help him. Have a GREAT day and am sending gentle hugs to all.. Linda R
Xmas is over and I survived, lol...I'm not sure what kicked it off, but I woke up with a holocranial migraine Xmas morning, and I was beyond annoyed. It was a good, but tough day. I was using everything in my toolbox but the heavy meds so I'd at least be awake to enjoy the get-togethers. The first was at mom's, and the second one was at our pastor's house.
Dinner at mom's wasn't bad---as usual, though, SIL didn't think twice about carting her sick kids to mom's with her. My niece was getting over a cold and my nephew was in the full throes of it---he was hacking, croupy and running a fever. At the table, he was talking about how pepper makes people sneeze, and he sneezed right after and baptized the table. He is not too good on the covering his mouth bit because he's only three. Husband and I, sitting opposite him, got the full benefit of the sneeze, lol. We will see how good our immune systems are now!
After mom's, I had to go and shovel out my client. We'd only gotten an inch of snow, but it was so cold yesterday that it only partially melted and refroze. Her sidewalk was a mess, and Husband and I had to really scrape it. Then I had to haul the 50-lb bucket of sand out to the front so we could sand the walk. I strained my shoulder doing this, but was so busy dealing with the migraine that I didn't notice that until I woke up this morning. I've been pampering it today, because I'm sure I'll have plenty of shoveling tomorrow. We are due for some good snow any minute now.
After the client was done, Husband and I went to our pastor's for his annual Xmas open house. I was so tired out from the headache that I didn't socialize much, but there were so many people there that no one really noticed. I found a chair right in front of the fireplace and sat there soaking up the heat. I also ate enough homemade meatballs to fill three of me and sampled a couple of triple chocolate cookies. I think I gained five pounds from the meatballs, but they were so good I couldn't stop eating them. They had been simmered in a mix of barbecue sauce and grape jelly and the taste was out of this world.
We stayed there for several hours...I proved to myself once and for all that I should never open my mouth when I have a migraine, because I can't predict what will come out of it. When I was saying goodbye to our pastor, he was joking that if I leaned over any further I would be in his lap. (He was sitting on the couch). I blurted out, "Good, because that's exactly where I'd like to be." I promptly turned thirty shades of red, and he cracked up laughing and couldn't stop. It wasn't at all what I'd meant to say.
See, our pastor is this big bear of a guy. He's over six feet tall and weighs almost 300 pounds, but he's so big he doesn't look fat. When he hugs you you disappear inside it. I really wanted a hug because I felt so miserable, and I was going to ask him for one; but that was what came out instead. I am glad he wasn't offended , but I was awfully embarrassed. The filter between my thoughts and my mouth disappears when I have a migraine.
Aside from a badly strained shoulder, I'm feeling much better today. Husband and I did a little shopping this morning; then he watched cop shows on TV all afternoon and I listened to music and crocheted. I have a bunch of belated gifts to finish up; and now I actually have time to do them. My church friends have realized I can crochet fingerless gloves and I am getting requests left and right. I'm glad I have the time now to get them all done!
Saturday I felt compelled to go lay in the driveway for 6 hrs and install my new parts since it was 25 out and supposed to drop off the next couple days. I knew it would clobber me and it did. I hadn't quite finished my job so I went back out in the morning at only 10 degrees, but I had several warm layers on and the sun was out. After three more hours I was done. A big project but it went off withought major issues, the mior ones were dead drill batteries and my air tools not being usable because my air compressor took a poop right after I started.
I was in tough shape most of Sunday but felt alright Monday AM. We went to my sister in-laws for our traditional breakfast with french toast. It is not your usual french toast. My wife makes it with chunky cinnimon bread. It is very good.
We went to dinner that night at my sisters and it was perfect. I gave my mom a ride and we all had a nice visit on the way there and back. Dinner itself was simple so nobody was confined to the kitchen. We all just talked and had a great time.
Christmas day was a bit tougher, but good . My wifes familly is getting big. Her grandmother still has it at her house and she is about 85 now. All of her kids help, but it's cramming about 30 people in a rambler that is tough for me. Most of the family is tighter than my we are with the group so we are kind of quitly sitting on the sidelines. Some of them are amazing people, others can be hard to tollerate in small spaces:0
We finished off the holiday at my wife's uncle's house. There is a small group there, casual conversation, and everyone feels welcome. It was a nice finish.
This morning I woke for work a disaster. I don't know why but I was a wreck all day. I got lucky at work with the days task being a simple one. I have pain piled up all over. I hope I can sleep it off some for tomorrow. I am greatful it's only a three day week!
Work has me pretty disgruntled lately. It's a nice shiney, reliable, big bus with nobody driving it. There are just a bunch of experts in the back telling us wich way the bus should turn up ahead, yet still no driver.
It was nice to get back here again. It sounds like you all had a pretty good holiday. Be back soon, take care everyone.

Susan Adams, Forbes Staff
I cover careers, jobs and every aspect of leadership.
What group of workers has been hit hardest since the recession started in late 2007? Though the media runs lots of stories about the plight of college graduates, and focuses on differences between male and female job seekers (hence the term "man-cession"), a new study from Georgetown University shows that the workers who have suffered the most are those with no more than a high school education. Not only did this group lose millions of jobs when the recession began, it has continued to stagnate or worse during the lackluster recovery. People who did not go to college lost 200,000 jobs from the beginning of 2010 to early 2012, according to the study.
Based on data collected by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the study, by Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce, divided the U.S. workforce of 140 million people into three groups: those who did not go to college, those with some college education or an associate's degree and those with bachelor's degrees or better. Since the recession hit in late 2007 until early 2012, the least-educated group lost a total of 5.8 million jobs, or 10%. The middle group with some college education lost far fewer jobs during the recession and those losses reversed almost completely by early 2012. In the group with the best education, there was no net job loss during the recession and the number of people who held jobs climbed 2.2 million, or 5%.
Current unemployment rates reflect the trend. While the national rate is 8.3%, the rate is just 4.5% for all four-year college graduates. The rate is higher for recent college grads, at 6.8%, but for recent high school graduates it's a whopping 24%.
Why is the job market so terrible for less educated workers? Industries like manufacturing, construction and transportation, where many of the jobs don't require college degrees, have all had sharp job losses since the recession started. Since those fields are dominated by men, there has been much coverage of male job losses. But the Georgetown study looked at the sex disparity in unemployment and found that it has narrowed, partly because women have been heavily affected by the decline in education and other government jobs.
Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown talked to the New York Times about the study and noted a silver lining. In recent years, more men than women have gone to school to make themselves more employable. "We seem to have hit the boys hard enough to wake them up," Carnevale told the Times. Carnevale also spoke to National Public Radio and said, "The only thing that's more expensive than going to college is not going to college, so you really don't have a choice."
Carnevale's comments are striking, given all the controversy about the value of an ever-more-pricey college education, and about high dropout rates and outsized debt loads at for-profit colleges. The Georgetown study makes a compelling case for getting a college diploma.
Interesting article.
However, many graduates aim to have employment within their field of study, and seeking to advance their personal development and career by working at what they're passionate about, and doing what they went to college FOR. To be a respected professional in their field.
Which just isn't the case.
Instead, most college graduates are working entry level jobs filing paperwork, working in shady companies running pyramid-schemes selling magazines door to door, filling up someone's coffee mug, serving people breakfast, driving a bus, tending the register at CVS, or other jobs that do not require a university degree.
Because that's how the real world actually works.
As for "less educated" workers. Do not underestimate them. They may be "less educated" but they are most likely working jobs that pay them in cash, leaving little room to create a paper-trail. No paper-trail, no need to pay taxes. Cash is king.
While we "educated" graduates are doing things the hard way, sending out CV's by the boat-load, going to interview after interview but being told we are "over-educated", but "we'll let you know", those "uneducated" people are making good money doing jobs that no one else will do.
Meanwhile, many enterprising young college graduates have understood that the system is broken, that to rely on Corporate America is unreliable, so they decide to do the next best thing, and start their own ventures by banding together and creating startups that are helping to change the face of America as we know it.
Welcome to the world, eh?
And there in lies a potential problem. What is the status of our ability to admit and teach those seeking a college education. The education business is in the same boat as the health care business, run away cost increases. Do we have a shortage of teachers or facilities? Why are costs increasing in education?
Education, as you've stated, is a business.
Business is about the bottom line.
In order for a university to expand and grow, they have to spend money to build shiny new facilities that will attract more students, while at the same time, lowering their standards for admission, to create a larger financial machine (the student body).
New facilities cost money to build (tuition goes up), and maintaining those buildings with faculty and staff also costs money (tuition goes up again).
Students love cool gyms and rec centers, right? Well that costs money too to build (tuition is raised again).
Think of it as a never ending arms race. The more they decide to build, the more costs they must incur. Which will be passed on to students and taxpayers.
It's a vicious cycle.
It really didn't take a study to reach those conclusions. The tables that accompany the BLS jobs report tell the story. There has barely been a recession for those who have bachelor begrees or higher.
And one reason that the government (both parties) has pretty much ignored unemployment is that the class of people who pay attention to politics and make campaign contributions is largely unaffected by the dearth of jobs.
I have to admit that you have an excellent point of view. It is exactly, as you said; the government ignores characteristically the ever-growing problems of unemployment and also, those who say that they care are the last persons that actually do! It is sad but we live at the period of the Ostrich Policy; they cannot see and realize how great the problem is, and in addition, of course they cannot understand and feel the danger.
Very insightful article. You have felt the pulse of unemployment crises. It is not the lack of jobs but the lack of a work force trained for the jobs that are open. What a world it will be when the two ends meet. Hope that I am there to live in that world.
"In the group with the best education, there was no net job loss during the recession and the number of people who held jobs climbed 2.2 million, or 5%." Where in the hell do these people live? I have a Master's degree and I have been unemployed or underemployed since January 2008. I am trying to get by on an adjunct's salary and because so many people like me are also having to seek adjunct work, not to earn a little extra money like a few years ago, but as a main source of income, which means that course offerings are becoming fewer because of all the competition.
My husband also has a Master's degree and he is doing temp work. Seriously, where is this place where there was no net job loss for educated people? I want to go to there!
Why is the job market so terrible for less educated workers? Because those so-called highly educated businesses are moving their companies to places like China and India for cheap labor.
There are thousands of college grads who are still unemployed or underemployed and working minimum wage jobs. Student Loan Debts are over $1 Trillion. Over two-thirds of college students have increasing student loan debts as colleges increase their tuition and book prices. Trade schools on the other hand have seen an enormous increase in enrollments as new students realize basic 4 yr college education does not offer the skills necessary in today's tough job markets. Student loan debt will be the next housing bubble dilemma that taxpayers will have to pay for whether or not they attended college.

In March 1941, after a year of unbroken and devastating U-boat onslaughts, the British War Cabinet decided to try a new strategy in the foundering naval campaign. To do so, they hired an intensely private, bohemian physicist who was also an ardent socialist. Patrick Blackett was a former navy officer and future winner of the Nobel Prize; he is little remembered today, but he and his fellow scientists did as much to win the war against Nazi Germany as almost anyone else. As director of the World War II antisubmarine effort, Blackett used little more than simple mathematics and probability theory - and a steadfast belief in the utility of science - to save the campaign against the U-boat. Employing these insights in unconventional ways, from the washing of mess hall dishes to the color of bomber wings, the Allies went on to win essential victories against Hitler's Germany.
Here is the story of these civilian intellectuals who helped to change the nature of 20th-century warfare. Throughout, Stephen Budiansky describes how scientists became intimately involved with what had once been the distinct province of military commanders - convincing disbelieving military brass to trust the solutions suggested by their analysis. Budiansky shows that these men above all retained the belief that operational research and a scientific mentality could change the world. It's a belief that has come to fruition with the spread of their tenets to the business and military worlds, and it started in the Battle of the Atlantic, in an attempt to outfight the Germans, but most of all to outwit them.

"What's with the fake accents?"
The analytical elements of the story are most compelling. When the book describes the politics and bickering of different science and military factions, it gets repetitive and tedious quickly, turns into a game of "Who wrote what memo".
Churchill. Finally a more multi-faceted profile of him.
What's with the childish mimicking of foreign accents, especially the German ones. It's ham-handed to say the least, also extremely illogical using them even for written documents like orders or letters. Really taints the listening experience.

Herald-Banner Staff
TYLER – A Van Zandt County man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of the illegal possessioon of a short barrel shotgun.
U.S. Attorney John M. Bales announced Michael Jack Callaway, 36, of Wills Pooint pleaded guilty Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judith Guthrie to possessing an unregistered short barrel shotgun. A federal grand jury indicted Callaway for the offense on Nov. 7, 2012.
Callaway admitted that on Aug. 22, 2012, members of the Van Zandt County Drug Task Force found a short barrel shotgun among numerous rifles, pistols, and shotguns, as well as hundreds of rounds of ammunition, during the execution of a search warrant at his residence in Wills Point. Callaway must forfeit the seized weapons and ammunition to the United States Attorney's Office and is facing up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing hearing date has not been set.
The case was investigated by the Van Zandt County Drug Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
