Foreign-born workers and occupations, 2004
May 13, 2005
In 2004, the largest group of foreign-born workers was employed in management, professional, and related occupations (26.5 percent). This was also the case for native-born workers, with 36.3 percent of them employed in this occupational category.
An additional 22.8 percent of foreign-born workers were employed in service occupations and 18.4 percent were in sales and office occupations, as were 15.2 and 26.7 percent, respectively, of the native-born workers.
Reflecting the downward trend in manufacturing employment as a whole, the proportions of both foreign-born and native-born workers employed in production, transportation, and material moving occupations declined from 2000 to 2004. In 2000, 20.4 percent of foreign-born and 13.8 percent of native-born workers were employed in these occupations. In 2004, the proportions were 17.5 percent for the foreign born and 12.1 percent for the native born.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. Find more information in "Labor Force Characteristics of Foreign-born Workers in 2004," news release USDL 05-834.

Former University of California, Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau has added his name to the expanding list of commencement speakers who backed out following student and faculty protests.
Birgeneau had been scheduled to speak at Haverford College's ceremony but was opposed over the use of force by university police during the Occupy movement.
He joins former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who canceled her speech at Rutgers University, and International Monetary Fund Director Christine Lagarde, who pulled out of the Smith College commencement, after protests.
Robert Shibley from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says colleges should be encouraging students to be open to hearing even people with whom they disagree.

apparently I just suck with Ryze. I can even fucking beat fizz...

I'm the minister of mistakes. I'm the shaman of sh*tstorms. If there was a f**k-up pope. I'd have a 3 foot hat!
when it comes to fizz... u literally dont have to "engage" him. Q>W>E>Q back off... he cant come to u, and if he CHASES to get to u.... then he is over extended. the key for ryze vs fizz.... is poke and bide ur time. he OUTBURSTS u... but u SERIOUSLY out-poke him. and have more sustain via ult ;-D
The thing many people don't realize is that Ryze is relatively weak early and really strong lategame, aka a hypercarry.
Against hypercarries, you NEED to win early, you NEED to crush them, just think about Ryze as the AP-mid version of Kog'maw or Vayne or Karthus 2.0 - against those champs, you can't pad yourself on your back for "being even in lane" early, if you don't crush them when they are weak, they WILL punish you later.
This is what a lot of people have to understand/take into consideration more: What champ/comp is strong at what point in the game and how can we make the most of it ?

Walgreen = Healthcare + Convenience Store
Jane is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Drugstore chain Walgreen (NYSE: WAG) has emerged a leader in the convenience store category. The issue for investors is if it can smoothly incorporate that into its traditional retail pharmaceutical branding which, in itself, has expanded into the broader area of healthcare. If not, it becomes, as I see it, a retailer like Staples and Sears with a confusing identity. If it makes it then it could be the kind of game-changer in the c-space that Wal-Mart had been in general retail. There's even the possibility it could create a new model of the old General Store which housed everything, including gossip. That would make it a Third Place, along with Starbucks, Panera, and Whole Foods.
Despite the risks involved, Walgreen is solidly in the c-store niche. According to a CSP Daily News Poll, 63% of responders indicated that the drugstore chain had become more of a threat to c-stores such as 7-Eleven. That convenience positioning seems part of the platform for how it is navigating this era glutted with retail, ranging from Wal-Mart to Kroger, which fills prescriptions. And much of that retail niche is being squeezed in reimbursement rates from pharmacy benefit management services such as Express Scripts. Given that healthcare reform is in play, this retail segment is filled with uncertainty. Investors might welcome diversification of the core business into other niches.
For Walgreen, that "convenience" umbrella covers a continuum of on-the-run food and beverage items, healthcare services such as in-store flu shots, and, of course, no-hassle filling of prescriptions. Can this kind of integration work under one roof? The jury should still be out and it seems to be. The stock is at about 34, with a 52-week range of 30.34 to 45.34. For 2Q, its sales of $18.7 billion were up .08% but earnings per diluted share were 78 cents, down 2.5%.
Like most of retail, Walgreen is in transition. Part of the competition remains the traditional drugstore chains like Rite Aid Corp (NYSE: RAD) and CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS). Since so many of the three are clustered in the same locations, it's a dog fight. As yet, there is no distinct differentiation among the three, at least in the consumer's eyes. Perhaps Walgreen is attempting to accomplish that unique positioning through dominance in convenience.
Both Rite Aid and CVS Caremark have had their problems. Recently Rite Aid turned itself around by refinancing part of its debt and with same store sales increasing 3% compared to last year. Fitch changed its outlook from negative to stable. Essentially Rite Aid and Walgreen are playing in the same sandbox with the food and beverage items. CVS Caremark is also there. But in addition CVS, Caremark operates a pharmacy benefit management division. The Federal Trade Commission had investigated CVS Caremark's benefit management business practices for two years. At the end, the company, under a consent order, agreed to pay $5 million in consumer refunds. However, "CVS," as it is known, is an institution in communities and buying habits don't change easily. Also, customers hate to transfer prescriptions.
The other part of the competitive landscape for Walgreen is any retail entity, brick or click, which provides what Walgreen refers to as a convenient affordable solution to the whatevers of "daily living." In that it aims to be the consumer's first choice. That means it is taking on the 7-Eleven, owned by Seven & I Holdings Company, Chevron's mashups of gas and snacks, urban bodegas, and the mom-and-pops which have survived amidst the chains.
In the c-space, Walgreen is succeeding. The NPD Group reports that while c-store traffic was down 1.4%, Walgreen was up by the same percentage. There it's not alone, though. The drugstore channel also siphoned off market share from discount clubs and mass merchandisers. The sweet spot is one-stop shopping in a small-sized store, geared for in-and-out purchasing. This especially appeals to busy females. Also, in sort of a Norman Rockwell manner, drugstores have or had an aura of trust. Main Street was and is still used to talking with neighorhood pharmacists about sensitive medical issues. It also depends on them to pick up possible dangerous interactions among medications.
Will that trust erode now that we can walk into a Walgreen, some open 24/7, and purchase alcohol, tobacco, sushi, flowers, postage stamps, hot coffee and much more? This summer we can get our electric car charged at some of its stores. This seems to be Walgreen's version of the gas stations which are part of the convenience store formula.
For this, it does have a location edge. That comes from its ability as a deep pocket corporation to afford to pay for high traffic areas. In selecting them, it makes it its business to be within 5 miles of where 75% of consumers live. That creates the neighborhood store feel, where many can even walk and if they drive not use much gas. Its store where New Haven and East Haven, Connecticut intersect attracts foot traffic from the 1400 unit Bella Vista senior citizen complex as well as low income housing developments. This capability could be touted as green, particularly in urban areas. However, there is plenty of parking.
Walgreen enhances these incentives with coupons and special pricing. It's big on private label and a Nielsen study found that 75% of its shoppers purchase those store brands. It is consolidating its existing store labels into one single brand: Nice! They retail at about 30% less than national brands. Managed right, the Walgreen private label niche could become a major business in itself, analogus to Wal-Mart's Sam's Club. It is along the innovative retailers which have taken out-of-the-box steps to keep consumer interest in private label even as the economy improves.
That competitive strength might have factored into its decision to end its relationship with pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts. And it proved to be, at least, a temporary setback. The decision led to, first of all, the loss of revenues because those Express Scripts customers had to transfer their prescriptions elsewhere. That impacted 2Q earnings negatively by 7 cents. Secondly, that process resulted in public relations negatives. Walgreen was perceived as putting the bottom line ahead of alleged savings benefits for consumers. Walgreen now operates a Subscription Savings Club which provides steep discounts on services such as immunizations and products like brandname and generic prescriptions. Also it expanded the scope of its pharmaceutical business with the $225 acquisition of some of the assets of BioScrip. That company is in the business of community specialty pharmacies and centralized specialty and mail order pharmacy. This gives Walgreen access to HIV, oncology, and transplant patients.
As investors are observing, transition is a tricky busines in retail. Macy's made it through stronger in the middle segment. Penney and Best Buy seem to be unable to achieve a turnaround, so far. Time will tell if Walgreen, with its roots in retail pharmacy, is making profitable moves.

The Tennessee Democrat running for U.S. Senate fired back Thursday at this week's Washington Post story that said he may be "2012's worst candidate."Mark Clayton, the surprise August primary winner who has been linked to a Virginia anti-gay group, told Nashville's News 2 the newspaper is "not a credible news source."He went on to question the Post's investigation of President Richard Nixon in the 1970s which led to his eventual resignation."We would call on the Washington Post to return their Pulitzers until we find out what really happened," responded Clayton while sipping ice tea at a restaurant near his rural Nashville area home. Clayton said he refused interviews with the Washington Post and claims the reporter from the newspaper recently "jumped out from behind a bush asking him if he would beat Bob Corker." When asked the same question about beating the incumbent Republican senator, Clayton grinned saying, "of course, of course."Clayton won Tennessee's August Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate against a field of unknowns, but was disavowed by the state party for numerous reasons, including ties to Public Advocate for the United States.He dismissed the group being branded anti-gay and a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center which tracks civil rights issues."I am a volunteer vice-president, the group is about love," said the candidate. "That was an August issue, I want to talk about now."So where is his campaign now after nearly three months as the Democratic Party nominee for U.S. Senate? "This is a campaign for people to be able to be free, this is a campaign about protecting people's jobs," said Clayton. He showed Nashville's News 2 his one "campaign sign" that he packs behind the seats of his pickup."A sign is not necessarily going to acquire votes," he said pulling it out of the vehicle. "It's not really a big part of our campaign strategy." "I think Tennesseans are more about substance, rather than have a whole lot of clutter like they do up in Washington," the 36-year-old candidate said. Clayton also disputed the Post story saying he had raised only a few hundred dollars for his campaign."I have a few thousand dollars," he said, however there is not any documentation yet about raising that amount.
Clayton is set to host a town hall meeting on Thursday night in the White's Creek area.

Jennifer L. said:
It had been unusually hot and dry the Summer of 1894 with small fires breaking out regularly. Then on September 1, 1894 two forest fires converged, creating a "firestorm", on the town of Hinckly, MN. trapping over 2,000 people. Over 400 people parished in the raging fire. Many of these thought that the dark skies and strong winds they saw and heard were bringing severe storms; possibly a tornado so they took cover in basements and storm cellars where they suffocated. Brown brings a human voice to this disaster through his use of first hand accounts of eyewitnesses. This is an important part of Minnesota History I didn't learn about growing up in suburban Minneapollis.

Anybody selling full-sized replicas of the Pulce 40 anymore???? I'd like to buy one!!!
Anybody selling full-sized replicas of the Pulce 40 anymore???? I'd like to buy one!!!
Mojo has some for sale every now and then and AprilStorm might be doing a run of 3d printed ones soon
I pm'd Mojo, but ill have to wait since it takes him forever to reply, and it's gotta fit the Fettpride hoslter.
I know a guy selling a real one,€375 pm if interested in his email address,
it has a plastic tip, which the pirate 40 has.
So do models of the pulce 40. I have a pulce 40 with a plastic tip. That doesn't mean it isn't a pulce 40: it says pulce on it.
The Pulce 40 IS the screen used for sure.
The pulce and the pirate differ primarily in the trigger guard as Danzofett pointed out. Pulce with trench, pirate without (I've seen two pirate variants one with the trench too actually)
As far as the tip goes, I've personally seen them both, with plastic, and metal ends because they are both interchangeable with the same part. My personal theory is that the tips could have been interchanged over the lifetime of any one of these pieces and shouldn't be used as a single basis for it being a real Pulce 40 or not. Getting one with a metal tip is an optimal plus, but there are some without.
2 cents

Thank you sir....oh wasteland I was doing you a good turn hooking you up with this,Jerome who is my contact wasn't to impressed with your attitude,he's found me 3 of these in last 2 weeks,so I will think again before I post a real found part contact....now I'm not here to fall out with you just think you could have sorted this through email..
Of course there is always a possibility that several parts have been mixed and matched on
some of these floating around. They are so close and interchangeable that at the end of the day, if it has the' trench' in the trigger guard, and says pulce (40 not 60), then you have a winner regardless of the tip. They are getting more rare everyday. Grab what you can find is my opinion.
I may have misunderstood Wasteland's question asking which was screen accurate. It think it's unanimous that it was a 40, so it occurred to me you were asking about the tip end. To be honest, I don't know if anyone knows for sure if it was a plastic or metal tip with any certainty. If it was plastic, in all likelihood they painted it silver anyway to match. We may never know. Sorry if I misunderstood brother.
Well, they are interchangeable. I suppose anything is possible lol
if my "attitude" wasn't correct because i didn't buy it or questioned it, well that's not my fault. Im not about to spend almost 500 bucks, without a little investigation. that would be dumb. sorry if i offended your friend if i questioned him and all i said in my email was that i dont think the pulce 40 has a plastic tip. your friend even said in his email, "I don't know, I think that PULCE is the name for selling in Italy and PIRATE is the name for selling in France but it's true that I have seen more PIRATE with plastic tip." those were his exact words. if was offended because he is a "speargun collector," and i offended him by questioning his intelligence, well *****, grow some thicker skin.
I think that this latest Pulce picture posted by DF is very interesting as it is the first I've seen that is not all plain dark grey or blue. The orange brown colour on the grip is very interesting. Could it be that there are other versions of this speargun all of that clour and the prop isn't painted at all but with minor modifications only? Certainly a possibility.
Anyway, that's clearly a Pulce with a plastic tip and a trigger guard safety lock (and multi coloured). I have also seen versions with the metal tip and the trigger guard safety and a version with the plastic tip and the lateral trigger lock located just behind the grip (this version is often erroneaously thought to be the Pirate 40 but is actually still a Pulce). Every version out there is pretty rare so far as has been my experience. Even the (excellent) Mojo Fett replica is of significantly high enough quality to fetch a high price and be in real demand. Based on the rarity of these originals I think you should snap this up.
Just paint buddy.....

Just paint buddy.....
he said that the grip was painted orange.
i had this pulce, plastic tip and sold it a few months ago. A fisherman from spain pointed out some interesting info about the pulce and pirate. Checking my emails to share the information....

Introduction to Nyonya FoodJuly 7th, 2009About52 Comments
Nyonya food, as the name suggested, is the food of the Baba-Nyonya in Malaysia and Singapore. Known also as the Peranakan or the Straits Chinese (Straits-born Chinese), these groups of people are descendants of the very early Chinese immigrants to the Nanyang or 南洋 in Chinese–which literally means the "south sea" region.
The origins of the Baba and Nyonya could be traced all the way back to the Chinese Admiral explorer Cheng Ho, who sailed across the Indian Ocean more than 400 years ago to Melaka, a busy and prosperous trading port back in the early 15th century. Nanyang or 南洋 refers to the the Malay peninsula and the islands of Java.
Nyonya cuisine is generally referred to as the result of inter-marriages between the Chinese immigrants and the local Malays, which produced a unique cuisine where local ingredients such as chilies, belacan (Malaysian shrimp paste) lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, etc. are used. To assimilate to the local culture, these early days Chinese immigrants also adopted local Malay traditions–the men were called Babas and the women were called Nyonyas…
Some historians argued that the inter-marriage was not necessarily the roots of the Baba-Nyonya culture; they claimed that Nyonya is a precisely a word used to describe a Chinese lady who has adopted Malay dressing and cooking while maintaining Chinese culture. This is actually a true statement; my late grandmother who was a Penang Nyonya certainly didn't marry a local Malay man. In fact, she married my late grandfather who came all the way from China during the Qing dynasty. I heard stories from my late father that he came complete with Qing dynasty's costume and the signature "Queue" hairstyle: half shaved head with a long pigtail. However, my late grandmother was always dressed in Nyonya kebaya and sarong, with her hair braided neatly in a bun.
Regardless of the history and origins of Nyonya food, making Nyonya food is no simple affair. The unique and highly flavorful cuisine requires abundant amount of time, patience, and skills. A true Nyonya would spend hours and hours pounding her rempah (spices) with batu giling (a flat slab of stone to grind the spices) to cook up authentic Nyonya dishes such as Perut Ikan (pickled fish stomach with vegetables stew), Salted Fish Pineapple Curry(Gulai Kiam Hu Kut in Hokkien), and other scrumptious Nyonya concoctions.
In recent years, there has been an increased interest and urgency to preserve the unique Nyonya culture and Nyonya cuisine. I started this blog to share my passion in Nyonya food. Most importantly, I would like to document the recipes and food of my childhood. I would also like to educate the world about this slowly but surely disappearing–but exceedingly beautiful–cuisine and culture.
If you are in the United States, especially if you live in the New York metro area, you might have heard about Nyonya food from the famed PENANG Malaysian Cuisine chain and its sister restaurant "NYONYA." And yes, now you can learn more about exquisite Nyonya food and recipes on this blog.
If you are Singaporeans who loved the series "Little Nyonya," you have come to the right place. You will be able to delve more into Peranakan culture and learn more about Nyonya cuisine here, too. And if you are my fellow Malaysians–especially if you are from Penang or Melaka and of Nyonya-Baba or Peranakan descent, I hope this blog reignite your love, passion, and bygone memories.
Now for my loyal reader at Rasa Malaysia–my hugely popular Chinese recipes, Malaysian recipes, and Asian recipes site–I hope to win your support and readership here. Please subscribe to the feeds, leave me comments, add Nyonya Food to your blogroll and links, and don't forget to tell your friends and family about this new site.
Now, let's discover Nyonya culture and cuisine one post at a time. Thank you!

I am so happy that you started this website. I will come back and visit often.1
When do you plan to launch it officially?1.1
I am sure going to add this place to my reader as the two recipes above just look so so yummylicious.
I am sure you will have a huge fan for this placce too.2
Congratulations Bee. Nyonya food is our family's favorite. I didn't get a chance to visit the restaurant you suggested when I was in S'pore, but we did visit House of Peranakan, Baba Inn on Frankel Ave. It was the BEST meal we had on our trip. Best of both worlds. Kudos to you for all your hard work to promote this wonderful culture. I'll let you know when I blog about my trip to Penang and S'pore.3
You are a dream come true! A good friend of mine lives in Singapore with her family and her husband is Baba-Nyonya. They tried to explain some of the cultural differences, and what makes this cuisine unique while I was there, but were unable to withstand the onslaught of questions I peppered them with. I vowed to learn more, and now I have this incredible resource at my finger tips. The food in Singapore was incredible and I only touched on learning what makes each cultures unique especially when accounting for the blending of cultures.
Thank you so much!4
I am of no nyonya descent but definitely enjoyed nyonya food. So flavorful and unique. It's neither chinese nor malay. Glad you opened up this site. Will have more recipes to try! Definitely nice when I miss Malaysian food.
Was sooo ecstatically happy when I saw the Penang Malaysian restaurant at Philly!! I thought I couldn't believe my eyes that a Malaysian restaurant made it there. Lol.
All the best, once again. Know you can make it as good as RM.5
Congrats, Bee!
My interest was perked when I saw Nyonya Food on Rasa Malaysia. Coming from the same beautiful island as the gorgeous Bee, of course I adore Nyonya Food. Especially Penang Nyonya food : )
There's nothing quite like the beautiful, flavourful, complex and yet balanced taste of this sublime cuisine. I could not find anything close to my childhood dishes of Perut Ikan and Otak-otak in KL. Needless to say the search had been futile in Perth. Sigh.
Bee, if you can find alternatives to daun kadok, I will be so grateful. It's such an integral part of my favourite dishes.
I've bookmarked your new site…and will spread the word. Thank you for sharing this passion with all of us.
BTW, "Little Nyonya" is worth watching.6
congratulations on the new site!!! it's beautiful so far, and i SO looking forward to seeing more nonya awesomeness here (and on t-spotting)7
Congratulations on the new site, Bee! It looks every bit as lovely and delicious as Rasa Malaysia! I'm not familiar with Nyonya cuisine, but I'm looking forward to learning more about it here. I just know I'm going to love it!8
Congratulations! Bee.
This is such a great idea of you to preserve Nyonya cuisine. Tell the truth, I've never heard about it, but I do know about Penang though.9
i've always wondered what "nyonya" came from. it's the name of a restaurant in downtown nyc.
this is great. im looking forward to your beautiful photos110
Beautiful is not enough to express my sincere feelings….I will email to all my friends overseas.For us who are not living in Penang,we should be very, very proud to have this great website,created for all who wants to learn about our Nonya food and Culture, please keep the Ball Rolling, ..the whole approach, ideas, concept is just wonderful… thank you again for sharing all with us.
Best regards,11
I am extremely excited to see more on this website! I am of Peranakan descent too and absolutely miss my late grandmother's 'itek tim' and 'pong teh bak'.
I shall be adventurous and attempt to cook more nyonya food which you will be sharing with us! congrats!12
Congrats on yet another step to elevate our colorful and interesting culture of Malaysia and Singapore to the international arena of food. I would imagine this site is everything Nyonya, thus my question – I would like to learn how to make their beautiful intricate kebaya tops – do you know of any sites that have that online or maybe you know how?
thanks, I would definitely try out all your dishes.
What a fantastic site to promote and preserve the Peranakan culinary cuisines, culture, arts, crafts and architecture to the world. Congratulations!14
Congratulations Bee! Great job! Can't wait to see all the goodies and info's you will featuring!15
Congratulations! I will definitely visit often.
I'm from Peranakan descent myself and still living in Penang. Unfortunately, I did not manage to learn any Peranakan recipes from my grandmother before she passed away. I really miss dishes such as jiu hu char, curry kapitan, kiam chai ark, roti babi etc etc..YUM.
It would be great to get authentic versions of these dishes somewhere in Penang…does anyone know where I can go to eat these please? :)
It would be great to get recipes for dishes such as these too!16
A huge congrats! I think it's truly beautiful and admirable that you're pursuing your life's passion by introducing us newbies to what already seems like a stunningly complex cuisine.17
Sometimes we buy supermarket cooking sauces as a standy-by for a quick meal. One of our favourites is Sainsbury's (UK) Nonya lime. I don't know how authentic it is but it's wonderful with prawns and it piqued our curiosity about Nonya recipes. I'm so glad to have found your blog.
Best wishes, Anne18
I also love nyonya food very much, especially the nyonya dumpling. Do you know any nyonya class in Melaka? I am looking some one who can share or teach to cook nyonya food.19
just wondering,
Is it true that peranakans do not drink tea as their tea time but drink milo?20
Glad to have stumbled upon your website! I am a fellow Penangite living in Seattle, Wa. I heard about the Penang restaurant in NYC and stopped by for dinner last year while I was there. Pretty good. When I lived NYC, the only great Penang restaurant was out in Flushing Meadows, Queens! We have a good Malaysian Restaurant here in the Seattle area too. Sometimes when you have been away from "home" for so long (almost 30 years), any closely related Malaysian restaurant taste "good". It's only when you return to Penang and start eating the real Penang food that you realized how much different it tastes! Thanks for this great website and great memories the website is stoking!21
I've eaten the Ayam Buah Keluak and have always wanted to cook the Ayam Buah Keluak dish but not sure where to get this Buah Keluak ingredients. Getting this ingredient is not easy here in Selangor.22
I've subscribed to your RSS feed! Quite dangerous though, coz it'll only make me hungry and homesick! I never realized that all my mum's dishes were Nyonya dishes, I always just assumed they were common Malaysian Chinese dishes… I miss otak otak and good sambal belacan!23
hey, i was wondering if anyone knows where to get nyonya dumplings in the US, in particular ard NYC or Chicago24
Glad you started this. I spent a year traveling throughout Southeast Asia and some of the best food I ate on that trip was the Nonya food in Melaka. On that trip I also made efforts to seek out the Chinese population wherever possible in hopes to learn about their life in their new home. In Melaka the most interesting place was the "chinese" cemetary. Instead of the Gregorian calender system we use now, the headstones had dates that denote the "dynasty" (and then lunar calender) from which the deceased lived (and died).
I had high hopes for Penang and timed my visit for Chinese New year. But that was a mistake as most all ethnically Chinese owned business closed for the week.
Thanks for sparking some great memories.

Drayton Harbor is widely contaminated with human, bovine and avian fecal coliform, according to a pilot study recently completed by the Puget Sound Restoration Fund.
The study examined fecal coliform levels in six Drayton Harbor locations as well as eight locations in California Creek tributaries and found "widespread occurrences" of human and ruminant waste.
Ruminant waste was widespread in both fresh and marine water, while human waste was found in one-third of test sites in California Creek and four out of six marine shellfish growing sites tested in Drayton Harbor.
"The main point of the study was to identify key sources of bacterial pollution that affect the harbor," said Geoff Menzies, who chairs Drayton Harbor Shellfish Protection District Advisory Committee and manages the Community Oyster Farm. "We wanted to see what was coming from downstream."
Bird waste was also commonly detected in Drayton Harbor, although Menzies said little can be done to reduce waste from waterfowl and other wildlife.
Menzies said the study confirms the importance of recent efforts by Whatcom County to step-up pollution controls such as the county's small farm livestock waste management and the septic system inspection program recently approved by the Whatcom County Council. "The study has shown there are important aspects of improving water quality in Drayton Harbor," he said. "The bottom line is if we don't have aggressive programs to deal with this, we're never going to get this harbor back."
Menzies said the Department of Ecology is conducting additional tests as part of their "Total Maximum Daily Load" study of Drayton Harbor, although results have not been published yet.

Let's get straight to some Junkyard Mail. …
Brownie Lawson writes: I know a lot of the Bulldog Nation has been watching the NFL draft, but I can't really work up much enthusiasm for it. I'm happy if former Dawgs get drafted, but it's not really that important to me, especially those players that left school early. But I seem to be in the minority. Bill, tell me why I should care that Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree went in the first round.
I understand where you're coming from, Brownie, especially when it comes to those who didn't play out their eligibility in Athens, but as with so many other things in the college game these days, it all comes back to recruiting. Kids want to play in a program that they see as a pipeline to the pros. That's what hurts triple-option programs like Georgia Tech, which play a brand of the game foreign to what's seen on Sundays. As Mr.SEC noted this week, "No school has matched Georgia's level of consistency with regards to talent production. Before Mark Richt, since Mark Richt, 10 years, five years, last year … the Dawgs are always on NFL teams' radars. It's no wonder UGA has finished either first or second in the SEC East in nine of Richt's 12 seasons in Athens." So, Georgia putting more players into the NFL than a lot of comparable schools helps elevate the program and draw the attention of fresh recruits, as Richt noted this week. "I haven't recruited many guys that didn't think or weren't at least dreaming about the NFL or hoping to be or expecting to be [drafted]," Richt said. "I think it's exciting for high school kids observing Georgia and trying to decide, 'Hey, would this be a good place for me.' It's a big a part of the recruiting process and what we're trying to get accomplished. … It's an important time for our current players and really for the future of our program, too."
Jim P. writes: You mentioned our D-line size in a recent article. I wondered about that for a while, knowing that John Jenkins would be gone. Seems that one of the necessary requirements for a 3-4 defense is size in the line spots (particularly the middle). If a team can't recruit that every year, their base scheme is in trouble. Alabama seems to be only one of few that recruits consistently to use the 3-4 well. Could UGA be in need of switching to a 4-3 temporarily? I understand Grantham does mix it up.
Yes, Georgia will be losing a big body in the middle in future New Orleans Saint John Jenkins. But the hope is that while Jenkins' replacements might not be quite as big, they will make up for it in being a bit more athletic. You're right, though, that Todd Grantham does indeed mix it up and is likely to do even more of that in the first couple of games of the season. That's why there was all the emphasis this spring on getting Josh Harvey-Clemons comfortable playing the hybrid saftey-linebacker "star" position in the nickel package, in which Georgia essentially plays with an extra, fifth defensive back. Against a spread offense like Clemson's, the Dawgs figure to be in their nickel package most of the time. Same with South Carolina's three-receiver sets and mobile quarterback. Georgia actually plays its base 3-4 defense a lot less than most folks realize. Mike Thornton told the Macon Telegraph he estimated the team is in its nickel defense 70 percent of the time.
Silverdawg writes: Bill, like so many other Georgia Bulldogs fans, I'm worried about opening the season against the likes of Tajh Boyd and Clemson and South Carolina with Connor Shaw and Jadeveon Clowney, and wonder whether the coaching staff is doing anything to jumpstart preparations for those games. I didn't hear much talk about that during spring practice, and I wonder if maybe they were working some on getting ready for the Tigers and Gamecocks in those closed scrimmages and just didn't tell anyone?
Richt told the AJC's Chip Towers that spring was pretty much devoted to working on fundamentals and determining a depth chart for the Dogs. "We didn't sit there and say, 'This is what Clemson does and let's try to simulate that with the scout team' or anything like that. We didn't get into that." But the coach said the staff will spend the summer getting ready for dealing with, say, South Carolina's Clowney. "We spend a lot of time on our first two opponents so it will be a natural this year. It was about game six or so last year and we might not have sat there in the summer thinking about it as much as we'll think about it this summer. Yeah, you've just got to figure out a way to get the ball off or a way to run the ball successfully and neutralize him in some way, shape or form."
Chris Pugh writes: Bill let's say I have just basic cable from the city I live in. Will the SEC Network take away from me watching my UGA games that are usually on ESPN or ESPN 2?
No, Chris. The games that are usually on CBS, ESPN and ESPN2 will still be on those channels. What will change is the games that in the past have been shown elsewhere. SportsBusiness Daily reported recently that the conference has reacquired the third-tier TV rights from its schools (the one game per season that usually wound up on CSS or pay-per-view) and is in the process of regaining its syndicated rights from Comcast and Fox Sports Net. The Fox deal ends after the 2014-2015 season, so after that all the games that used to be farmed out to those channels (the noon games, in particular) will wind up on the SEC Network. The satellite services and most cable systems are expected to pick up the SEC Network, especially in this part of the country, but if your basic cable subscription doesn't include such sports channels, you may well have to upgrade in order to see all the Dogs' games.

Great article Bill and totally valid point that Paul "Turkey Neck" Johnson's mickey mouse option offense doesn't produce NFL-quality player, resulting in the 2 or 3 star recruits that the Wreck manage to sign.
Dawgs Run This State!
April 27th, 2013
9:49 am
Yeah it does help us get great recruits…but is hasn't help us win a championship since 2005. So I hope itwill start soon….but I blame most of this on keeping willie past the 2006 season…..by goly we got to beat those sorry chickens…… Because I'm sick and tired of hearing their sorry fans running their mouths on the SECRANT….the chickens are the most delusional fans in the SeE
April 27th, 2013

The first 3 dawgs picked in the draft slid badly from where they were projected to go at seasons end. Jarvis was the most productive defensive player in college football for the last two years. He probably shouldn't have run the 40 outside in bad conditions at UGA's pro day. Wonder how much that hurt him? When will the next guy with 27 sacks in two years in the SEC go that low?
Ogletree slides to 30. I saw one pundit write that it was a terrible pick even at #30! He cited character issues and a lack of football instincts and football inteligence despite tremendous athleticism as the reason he thought Ogletree was a reach at #30. Wow.
Jenkins slides all the way to the third round. Prior to the draft, he was talked about as a mid 2nd round and maybe even a late first rounder. I was shocked that ESPN's analysts made little mention of him sliding and when the Saints picked him, they characterized him as a big guy who has a "little" quickness for a 350 plus pounder. BEFORE the draft he was being talked about as EXTREMELY athletic for a man his size.
Williams selected in 3rd round which was probably a little higher than he was projected, so that was good to see.
Anyone else concerned about these three players falling so badly in the draft?

Yea its a good thing all the Tech fans think coach Turkey Neck is such a great coach cause as long as he continues to run that 1920's era offense no large amount 3,4, and 5 recruits will want to play for Tech
They will just end up at nearby programs like UGA, Bama, Clemson, SC, TENN AUB, etc
Keep up the delusional support Tech fans cause your program has become a laughable joke that really just needs to drop to Div II and allow Georgia St or Southern to take your spot
April 27th, 2013

GT isn't going to get very much pro talent no matter what system they run or who the coach is. Chan proved that. That is why CPJ was brought in in the first place. To try and neutralize the recruiting issues we have.
April 27th, 2013
1:41 pm
Also Bill, from what I have been hearing about the SEC network, there is a good possibility that some of the ESPN/ESPN2 games will be moved to the new network. The reason for this is because ESPN is trying to build leverage with providers to gain coverage. Having just after thought tier three games isn't going to help ESPN with getting the SEC Network good coverage.
April 27th, 2013
1:51 pm
That's just not true you have too many Tech fans/ alumni that really could care less about the sports program
Atlanta and the state of Georgia is a top 5 recruiting hub; Tech could literally do just like Miami did 30 yrs ago with the right coach and get the best players to come there
And please don't say it couldn't happen; Miami 30 yrs ago was in way worse shape than Tech is now; they were on the verge of shutting the football program down
I guess the not wanting championships is a state of Georgia thing among both fan bases cause the majority of UGA fans believe 10 wins with beating the joke by the coke every year is a successful season
Tech fans believe just beating UGA is a successful season
April 27th, 2013
2:19 pm
I try to notice, and count the occation that we lined up in a true 3-4 where the pure size of the NG is the issue, and it occurs to me that its not that often.
April 27th, 2013
2:48 pm
Atlanta and the state of Georgia is a top 5 recruiting hub; Tech could literally do just like Miami did 30 yrs ago with the right coach and get the best players to come there
It's not that easy and you know it. There is no way that GT is going to turn into Miami. The culture at the two schools is completely different. Do I really need to remind you what lengths Miami went to to become a good football program? They are one of the shadiest programs in college football history. Even if they weren't shady, they would still recruit better than GT no matter who the coach is.
April 27th, 2013
2:59 pm
they would still recruit better than GT no matter who the coach is.
Its good to know you and the rest of the Tech fans have that attitude
Kids will want to go to successful programs that also have great fan support and good coaching Bama is just a prime example
The state of Alabama doesn't have the recruiting base that the state of Georgia has. So tell me Bob why would someone want to go to Tuscaloosa a town in the middle of po-dunk nowhere America to play football instead of the Atlanta area
April 27th, 2013
3:23 pm
The state of Alabama doesn't have the recruiting base that the state of Georgia has.
Alabama is right next to Georgia and they spend far more on recruiting than most other schools. Kids want to go there for several reasons, the most important of which is the fact that they win the National Championship every year. You think fan support is a major driving factor but you used Miami as an example earlier of what GT should try to achieve. Miami has terrible fan support. Meanwhile a school like Nebraska that has sold out every football game in the last 50 years rarely has a top recruiting class. There a many factors on recruits minds these days and unfortunately GT has way to many negatives to remain competitive.
April 27th, 2013
3:36 pm
"Alabama is right next to Georgia and they spend far more on recruiting than most other schools"
So why cant Tech
Bama has a great coach and that's why they are winning a National Championship
Tech one time had a great coach
Tech could easily get recruits due to location and selling the great education Tech offers;
Again Atlanta or Tuscaloosa Alabama where would you choose Bob
Theres a lot more to do for fun in Atlanta than Alabama
I can tell you start winning and fan support will grow and recruits will want to come
but having a coach that runs an 1920's style offense that has been a distant memory in the NFL will continue to weaken Tech for many years to come when comes to getting half decent players
April 27th, 2013
3:57 pm
Tech could easily get recruits due to location and selling the great education Tech offers
Then why hasn't any coach since Bobby Dodd been able to recruit well at GT? They didn't all run option offenses. GT has rescinded scholarship offers for three different players in the last three years because they couldn't get their test scores up. GT usually has less than 10% special admits on their football team at any time. On top of this they have to convince the kids that are left that they should come to an engineering school with a 2 to 1 guy to girl ratio, with math and science requirements that is right in the center of SEC country yet isn't in the SEC. On top of that, about half of the student and alumni population doesn't care about football at all. I would love to hear your pitch Flat Tire for why a kid should come to GT over UGA, Florida, and Alabama. Give me your sales pitch.
April 27th, 2013
4:13 pm
Again your school doesn't care about Athletics
change your requirement's give more special admits or drop to Div II or drop Athletics
Also 90% of your student athletes are in the business program
April 27th, 2013
4:22 pm
"Also 90% of your student athletes are in the business program"
Maybe 90% of our football players are, not athletes in general. Of the 34 athletes who graduated last semester 15 were MGMT/BA, 12 were engineering, and 4 were from other fields. And im sure all GT fans would love to allow in more special admits. It has been a major point among Tech fans for years. Unfortunately after flunk gate and a few other academic incidents, as well as new APR requirements, it isn't going to happen. And no, we aren't going to drop to a lower football division. College Football funds our other sports. By doing that we would pretty much end athletics at GT for no reason.
April 27th, 2013
4:54 pm
MY point exactly Bob
So tell all the Tech fans on this blog that being a proud athletic program again ended 50 yrs ago and they should learn to accept mediocrity with an occasional victory over UGA every few years or so
I still believe Tech should re-hire O'Leary
April 27th, 2013
5:13 pm
Flat Tire, I actually have argued that with some Tech fans. One problem our fan base has is unrealistic expectations. Some expect 9-10 win seasons, top 20 recruiting classes, and wins over UGA half the time. There is no evidence that is even possible but they expect it anyways. It is why we hire and fire coaches every 4-6 years. RIght now we have a coach who has a higher winning percentage than any other GT coach since Bobby Dodd, and a lot of GT fans want him gone. It makes no sense.
As for O'Leary, after flunk gate, the ND debacle, and the kid that died at Central Florida, I doubt we would let him come back if he paid us. Plus, recently Ted Roof said that the academic environment has significantly changed at GT since the O'Leary days and it is much more difficult admissions wise. O'Leary wouldn't be nearly the same coach that he was back then.
April 27th, 2013
8:30 pm
Looks like Kwame Geathers should have stayed in Athens for his senior season. I wonder if he is rethinking that move.

Kwame just signed with the Chargers. Congrats to him.
Abry Jones signed with Jax Jaguars.
So 10 dawgs total so far.

I think Marlon Brown will also get drafted, and also would be surprised if Branden Smith doesn't get a contract with his speed.
Should finish around 11 or 12 guys drafted for UGA.
I don't see CRob if Gillard getting drafted, nothing NFL special about those 2 from a talent standpoint.
CRob is good at coming up with slogans like "Our team, our time", so he could end up doing more of that and watching football on Sundays.
But hey, 11 or 12 guys drafted, from UGA, by the end of week here, not too shabby.

When do the NFL teams get to draft NCAA head football coaches into their league? Isn't that a little known codicil to the BCS playoff deal?
April 27th, 2013
10:59 pm
For the past few years I have been preaching "cycles" in college football………..and yes, our sending so many players to the NFL via the draft is huge………ever since that awful night few years ago that we lost to Colorado………..we have been "cycling up"……….yes indeed we have…………What was that year? 2010 I think, boy did we stink…………[like all colleg teams do from time to time]………We have been on a steady up-swing ever since to the point where I will be surprised if we don't take Alabamas lofty position by bi#ch slapping it away from them either this year or next…………..told ya it was coming………….It's great to be a Georgia BULLDOG……………NOW AIN'T IT……………..RED

Jumper…8 dawgs drafted. You can't add the UFAs in that group. That's a stretch.
April 28th, 2013

Re: Geathers is undrafted
We have a junior that leaves early and goes undrafted. It's unbelievable to me that someone would evaluate his status and make the recommendation for him to leave early. Maybe he was just dead set on declaring for the draft
Message to college players in similar situations: you better make damn sure you know what you are doing.
Rather than playing another year and developing his skills, he will be in the unemployment line.

UGA had 14 guys get NFL contracts. 8 through the draft, then Geathers, Jones, Gillard, Robinson, Brown and Smith got drafted on a $400,000 free agent rookie contract. 14 guys drafted into the NFL in one season and picked up 2 ESPN top 150 high school recruits this week, unbelieveable week for UGA fans.
April 28th, 2013
11:51 am
Yeah on second thought I just don't get excited about this class getting drafted…they are just another class who graduated without a championship…….I told y'all people that Kwame Geathers would not get drafted a long time ago…..ufa's are at the totem pole….he will be lucky if he don't get cut. Feathers didn't want to stay his senior year because he didn't want to lose the job to Thornton and Chris Mayes….I guess a third string nose guard doesn't have much of a chance in the NFL

Its pretty funny that this is what a UGA fan considers an unbelievable week.
April 28th, 2013
6:53 pm
GTBob – is an unbelievable week for you not missing your pocket protector and ruining yet another shirt for one whole week? Or is it not getting caught for a whole week picking your nose by an attractive woman?
Jeez… if you love football and your team has 8 players drafted and 6 more signed to undrafted free agent contracts and also gets commitments from 2 of the best players coming out of high school all in few days, don't you think that might spur some pretty good feelings?
Yes, I know,in the grand scheme of things it doesn't compare to a child being born or getting word that you are cancer free but life is too short and capricious to not take joy in anything positive that happens in the acope of your life. Jealousy and resentment are life drainers and really serve no useful purpose. NONE.

An unbelievable week for a Tech fan is any week when everyone is too busy to notice or care what an absolute embarassment their football program has become.
April 29th, 2013
8:47 am
A question for Tech fans… How come Stanford can field a decent football team and you can't? I seriously doubt that your academic standards are more stringent so why has your once proud program fallen so far? The next time any Garbage Can Scavenger comes on here ripping CMR for what he hasn't done just look at your program and multiply it a few times. What is the old saying?… "you've got no room to talk" So you can put a sock in it and keep it in there.
Ga Tech was once a premier program and through gross negligence and criminal stupidity your school has made your brand an also ran. Put up or shut up. It's that simple. Every time one of you comes on these blogs and tosses up your usual accusations and derision you only come across as pitiful, whiny children. Go back to your own miserable blogs and stay there.
April 29th, 2013
5:06 pm
How come Stanford can field a decent football team and you can't?
Stanford is on a nice temporary run after many years of awful football. They had to be decent eventually. You would be a fool to believe they can keep it up forever though just because of one short hot streak. Over the last 10, 20, or 30 years GT has been significantly better than them in every aspect. hey have a couple of good years and all of the sudden they are the beacon of what we should become.
April 30th, 2013
8:48 am
Not since the mid 1950s has Tech fielded a football team that attended two major bowls in a row. The Orange Bowl in 09 was a fluke. The last time that Tech played in the Orange Bowl was in 1967 or 1968.
Even the Citrus Bowl in 1990 was only then a low mid level bowl. These facts clearly show that Tech's best football was almost 60 years ago, dating back to the mid 1950s.
April 30th, 2013
9:45 am
we will win next season….if the o-line steps up.
April 30th, 2013
1:20 pm
Here's the issue GTBob. Sure, stanford hasn't been that good until recently. However, if they are doing something now that has them improving, why not take a look at what they are doing in comparison to tech? Stanford is doing it in a much better conference, tech could've won the ACC with a .500 record.
The issue tech has now is are you ok with being a .500 team, maybe upset a team because of the unusual offense, and because the conference is so weak in football you might be able to pull of an ACC championship every now and then. Or do you want to take the chance going back to a more modern offense and you could be a lot better or be worse.
April 30th, 2013

"One problem our fan base has is unrealistic expectations."
"Tech fans actually have realistic views of their team and program, while UGA fans are completely delusional about their team and everyone elses."
Whatever you need to make up to pretend to be right, eh BOB?
May 1st, 2013

Maybe we are somewhat delusional, but if one keeps shooting for the moon and realistically keeps putting legitimate pieces together to get there, they will eventually arrive–if one keeps digging for the cellar, they too will arrive. I will take the Moon pathway–it is much more rewarding and when one does get there, the setbacks are long forgotten.
May 1st, 2013
11:58 am
Nice one, Dog4Life. Very nice.
I'm not sure we Dawg fans are delusional (although maybe we are sometimes), but your point was very well made.
Go, Georgia Bulldogs!
May 1st, 2013
8:20 pm
My question is if UGA gets all those players drafted why aren't they winning a National Championship?
May 1st, 2013
11:55 pm
Sometimes it seems like Georgia is a relay station for the Wild West stage coaches. The best thing for the team of horses arriving after a long pull is rest and being taught how best to pull together. At our relay station, we have a lot of individual studs, but these studs aren't being trained up well enough to pull as one. The stage coach line only cares about the load being drawn on to the next station on schedule. The best horses are being culled out of the team early. It's just business, nothing personal.
Can't we have a team of horses that in spite of the business realities, pulls as one?
Yeah, what Chefdawg said.
May 2nd, 2013
3:23 pm
Amazed that we have 14 players either drafter or signed by NFL. That has to say alot to recruits but it still raises question — "are we getting the most out of our talent?"
When is breakthrough year going to happen?
May 2nd, 2013
3:30 pm
GT trying to recruit football is about like USC trying to recruit basketball – uphill climbs for both!

Busycon is a genus of very large edible sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, in the family Buccinidae. These snails are commonly known in the U.S. as whelks or Busycon whelks. Busycon comes from the Greek: bous meaning cow and sykon meaning fig; translating to large fig. This is one of the few genera of gastropods in which the shell may coil either to the right or the left. These fossils date to the Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era (65 million to 136 million years ago). This example was found at Windmill Point, in Lancaster County, Virginia along the Chesapeake Bay (in sight of the light house). Size: 7 Ľ inches long by 2 ˝ inches wide at its maximum and 1 inche wide at its minimum. This example is naturally worn and shows detail of inside shell.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - All four-time drunk drivers would face felony convictions and prison terms, under a bill passed by the Assembly Tuesday.
The lower house voted 88-7 to make four-time OWI a felony in all cases -- and to make all two-time drunk driving a criminal misdemeanor.
On voice votes, the Assembly also required all drunk driving suspects to appear in court at least once -- and to toughen rules for those required to breathe into sobriety tubes before they can start their cars.
Mequon Republican Jim Ott proposed all three measures. He also proposed making three-time OWI a felony -- something which lawmakers balked at because of the high costs of sending more offenders to prison.
Ott said he's still glad Tuesday's bills were approved. He said they would make a "substantial improvement" in the effort to curb drunk driving.
All three bills now go to the Senate.

Nation's First Hybrid Electric Street Sweepers
The first hybrid electric street sweepers in the nation are hitting the streets of Manhattan thanks to $690,000 of Recovery funding. Initiating a pilot program, a total of five of the new vehicles were delivered to the New York City Department of Sanitation this past fall.
Officials are expecting significant energy and environmental benefits:
- Standard sweeper burns 7,500 gallons of diesel fuel annually; hybrid uses about 5,000
- Fuel savings will total about $33,750 annually
- Carbon dioxide emissions will drop by 100 metric tons every year
City officials say that lessons learned from the pilot will help inform future street sweeper purchases and serve as a model for other jurisdictions around the country.
4 Responses
I applaud this movement to use the latest technology in the war against Carbon Dioxide emissions. It takes a strong belief to champion a pilot project f this size and it a very appropriate project for the ARRA. I applaud your efforts and look forward to reading the results.
This is an excellent example of why conservation of energy is important. Hopefully, most major car manufacturers will start to follow suite and begin to develop more energy efficient vehicles such as this. Electric cars may not be the complete way out of oil dependency but at the very least, it is a start.
This time in our lives when we are having economic problems and our climate is changing this is a great investment.2,500 gallons less burned a year is a huge savings. This is a very great start Carbon dioxide emissions down by 100 metric tons each year is a huge savings.
Still a hell of a lotta fuel to sweep the streets no?

Publication: The Day
State police say a former Old Lyme man who committed four bank robberies in 2007 was back at it again this year, committing at least three more.
Kenneth Buckingham, 50, was arrested on Thursday and charged in connection with a March 1 robbery at the Liberty Bank branch in Haddam, another on April 16 at the TD Bank branch in Durham, and a third on May 20 at the First Niagara Bank in Westbrook. State police said they anticipate he also will be charged in connection with the Jan. 17 robbery at Chelsea Groton Bank in Salem.
Buckingham's former career as a bank robber was ended on May 16, 2007, by police who waited in a stakeout at an East Lyme bank, anticipating Buckingham's next move.
He was charged in a spree of robberies in the towns of Salem, Centerbrook and East Lyme. While in prison, Buckingham was called to the witness stand as a jailhouse informant in two different murder trials. In 2010, he testified for state prosecutors in New London in the trial of George M. Leniart. Leniart was later convicted in the rape and murder of 15-year-old April Dawn Pennington of Montville, who disappeared in 1996. Buckingham testified that Leniart had admitted to the killing while in prison.
Buckingham also testified in the murder trial of Richard Read in New Britain, which also led to a conviction.
He admitted he was hoping for leniency in his own case, though he was never promised anything.
Buckingham was sentenced in 2011 to 75 months in prison with 13 years of special parole. He had by that time served the bulk of his sentence. Court records show his sentence was modified and reduced by four months in May 2012. His release date was not immediately available.
