I was going to try to do some more performance tests, but turns out my windowsXP laptop has write cache enabled, and I can't seem to get it turned off as the control box is greyed out. I am going to find another machine but figured since all tests pass, it would be better to get code in trunk so you can work off it, and we can see full effect of both changes. I expect the 5494 change to have a negative affect on performance of sequences. The worst case will be 1 thread, preallocation=0 (or 1 I don't know which gives you no preallocation). I would assume less and less affect the larger the preallocation, or more users. > Same value returned by successive calls to a sequence generator. > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5493 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5493 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0, 10.6.2.1, 10.7.1.1, 10.8.1.2, 10.8.2.2, 10.9.0.0 > Reporter: Rick Hillegas > Assignee: Rick Hillegas > Labels: derby_triage10_9 > Attachments: derby-5493-01-aa-correctnessPlusPeekerPlusTest.diff, derby-5493-01-ad-simplerApproach.diff, derby-5493-01-ae-simplerApproachWithCrashJUnitTest.diff, derby-5493-01-af-usersubtran.diff > > > The following script shows the same value being returned from a sequence generator by two successive NEXT VALUE FOR calls.

Review: Facebook's Graph Search Promising But Incomplete
According to Facebook's new search feature, only two of my 526 friends like cats. Judging by the number of cat photos filling my feed every day, this is obviously not accurate. It also demonstrates one of the big problems with Facebook's approach to search. The company's new tool, awkwardly named "Graph Search," was announced with much fanfare at Facebook's Menlo Park campus Tuesday. The new search feature lets you draw connections between people, their profile information and their interests on Facebook. In theory, it's a good recipe for finding recommendations for doctors, businesses, products, TV shows or bands

Construction worker's widow shares message through grief
The widow of one of the workers killed in a construction zone accident is speaking out for the first time.
Kenneth Duerson, 49, and 24-year-old Coty Demoss died last Friday when they were struck by a vehicle along I-69.
Duerson's widow already had concerns about just how safe her husband would be working in the construction zone. In fact, the day before he was killed, she drove him to the site and talked about staying safe.
"I will never hear him tell me he loves me no more," said Brenda Duerson.
She clinged to the wedding photo snapped 17 years ago when she married the love of her life. Too distraught to go on camera, Brenda Duerson still agreed to talk to Eyewitness News about Kenneth's tragic death and how much he will be missed.
"He is still supposed to be here. To me, 17 years of marriage is not long enough. It's not long enough at all. We were just getting started and that was taken away from me," she said.
Police say 22-year-old Jordan Stafford crashed his pickup in a construction zone as the crews removed traffic cones. Duerson's widow believes because of Stafford's previous reported drug problems, he should have thought twice about driving.
"Why are you driving yourself in the first place, if you know you got a problem. So get you a designated driver and get there safely, so these workers can get home to their families like they planned on. I had planned on having breakfast with my husband that morning," Brenda said.

But now, since the fatal crash has changed the rest of her life, she urges others never to take their loved ones for granted.
"Love as hard as you can who you are loving, your family. Because there is going to come a time, like with me, that you won't have that chance to say 'I love you' and to hear that back," she said.
After spending part of her day Monday at the funeral home, Duerson said she is waiting to learn final arrangements for her husband's co-worker, Coty Demoss, so she can pay her respects to his family.

History of reform[edit]
Constitutional reform in Kenya has been a major issue since Kenya gained independence. The highlights of the evolution of Kenya's constitution can be highlighted by the following events:
- 1963 – Kenya's 1963 independence constitution provides for a multi-party parliamentary system. Jomo Kenyatta is installed as Kenya's first Prime Minister.
- 1964 – Kenya becomes a republic and Jomo Kenyatta becomes Kenya's first President, with the position of Prime Minister scrapped.
- 1966 – Provincial assemblies scrapped. Senate dissolved and its members combined with those of the House of Representatives into a unicameral National Assembly.
- 1969 – New constitution adopted, consolidating amendments already made to the 1963 independence constitution, and further strengthening presidential powers.
- 1976 – Constitutional amendment enabling president to pardon politicians barred from contesting elections over electoral malpractices. Opposition to amendment the leads to the arrest and imprisonment of Philomena Chelagat Mutai and George Anyona.
- 1982 – Multi-partism is abolished making Kenya a single party state with KANU as the ruling party. This was followed by the mlolongo system where secret-ballots were no longer used.
- 1991 – President Moi in December 1991 at a KANU delegates meeting at Kasarani Stadium, repealed Section 2A of the constitution, thereby making Kenya a multi-party state. The change enabled the introduction of term limits to the Presidency.
- 2000 – Commission for Constitutional Reform of Kenya was set up by President Moi and Prof Yash Pal Ghai was installed as its chairman to spearhead Kenya's first major constitutional reform.
- 2005 – In November 2005, a constitutional referendum defeats government's proposed new constitution (see below).
- 2008 – In March 2008, the National Assembly of Kenya passed the Nation and Reconciliation Accord Act that introduced a temporary change to the constitution introducing the position of Prime Minister and two Deputy Prime Ministers.
- 2009 – Parliament prioritises constitution reform through Agenda No. 4. Deliberations on how this reforms will be tackled will be discussed in the second session of the 10th Parliament that began in April 2009.
Previous Proposed Constitution Drafts and processes
The 1969 Constitution which replaced the 1963 independence constitution had already been amended at least 12 times by 2010, and was widely agreed to require a major overhaul to create a more democratic framework with greater oversight of the executive by parliament. The constitution gave the president wide-ranging powers, provided for no prime minister, and was ill-suited to multiparty politics, despite the 1991 repeal of a 1982 amendment that had formalised the one-party state.[1]
The constitutional reform process that began in 2000 led to the adoption of several competing drafts, and a deadlock between government and opposition, until 2008.
- 2004 Bomas Draft (named after the location of the constitutional reform conference that adopted it) – Proposed transferring most of the powers of the office of the President elected by the people to the Prime Minister that would be elected by Parliament. In addition, there would have been checks on executive appointments. The PM would nominate MPs to become Cabinet ministers, the President would then appoint them. All appointments would require up and down votes by a members of the Senate.
- 2005 Wako Draft (named after the Attorney General, Amos Wako) – Put forward unilaterally by the government instead of the Bomas Draft, which it rejected. A modified version of the 1969 constitution but got rid of 25% requirement in general elections that requires the winner in the Presidential election to have 25% in at least 5 provinces. The winner would also have to get more than 50% of the vote, else an instant re-run would occur.
- 2005 A constitutional referendum defeated the proposed constitution supported by the government.
- Post-2005 Minimal Constitution Reform option – proposed by Prof. Yash Pal Ghai after the failed referendum. His proposal suggested that for political and practical reasons, the best way to achieve constitutional change would be to do it in small phases as opposed to immediate and complete overhaul of the current system.
Constitutional drafts and processes leading up to the adoption of the 2010 text
Following the post-election violence that broke out after the controversial December 2007 elections in which the renewed mandate of President Mwai Kibaki was alleged to be stolen, a team of mediators led by Kofi Annan, proposed by President Kufuor of Ghana, then chair of the African Union, pushed for a renewed constitutional review process. The National Dialogue and Reconciliation process led to an agreement between the parties in February 2008, including the formation of a government of national unity and other reforms. Agenda item 4 in the agreement focused on "Long-Term Issues", including constitutional and institutional reform.
- March 2008 – The parties agree on the principles for a constitutional review process, and Parliament establishes a Committee of Experts on Constitutional Reform to gather views from the public, deliberate on contentious issues and come up with a draft of the new constitution. A Constitution of Kenya Review Act 2008 governs the review process, and enters into force in December 2008. The Committee held extensive public consultations and received many dozens of submissions.
- November 2009 – The harmonised draft constitution written and proposed by the Committee of Experts was released on 17 November 2009 and had the following highlights:[2]
- Transfer of executive authority from the President to the Prime Minister position who will be the Head of Government.
- President will be the Head of State and maintain a more ceremonial role.
- Prime Minister will be the Head of Government and will be the head of the party/coalition with a majority in Parliament – He will nominate ministers to the Cabinet.
- Half of the ministers in cabinet can be nominated from non-MPs.
- The total number of MPs will be increased from 222 to 295.
- An upper house, a Senate, will be introduced to represent the regions – the total number of Senators will be 113.
- Devolution to the provincial level – current 8 provinces will be now referred to as regions.
- The 8 regions/provinces will be subdivided into counties – There will be a total of 70 counties and will each be headed by executives.
- Nairobi Province will become a region and have a popularly elected Mayor as opposed to having the city councillors elect the Mayor.
- Retention of Kadhi court system as it is in the current constitution.
- February 2010 – Following further consultation and amendment a revised text is published.
- May 2010 – On 6 May, the final text of the constitution is published, for approval by referendum.
- August 2010 – The draft constitution text is approved by a 67% margin in a national referendum.[3] The constitution is promulgated on 27 August.
- October 2010 – On 5 October, parliament establishes the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), which is mandated to oversee the entire implementation process of the reforms required by the new constitution.

YOU'D THINK A BAND WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH SET BY THE TIME IT ROSE FROM THE trenches of a self-produced debut to become one of the most celebrated new metal bands of the decade—and to then ink a deal with the bigwigs at Atlantic. Not so for Massachusetts-based Shadows Fall.
Guitarists Matt Bachand (rhythm) and Jon Donais (lead) may have brandished enough lethal riffs and ripping leads to earn their outfit spots on almost every significant metal tour of the 2000s, but it wasn't enough to save them from floundering when their advocates at Atlantic got axed before the release of 2008's Threads of Life. Though the album was Shadows' most critically acclaimed since 2002's breakout The Art of Balance—with the single "Redemption" garnering a Grammy nomination—Bac- hand, Donais, vocalist Brian Fair, bassist Paul Romanko, and drummer Jason Bittner felt abandoned. "They're just not a metal label," says Donais. "So we were scared that we were going to write this heavy record and they wouldn't give it the time of day—and no one would ever find out about it."
Believing Atlantic had shortchanged them by not putting adequate marketing muscle into Threads, Shadows Fall made— and won—its case for walking away from the deal and beginning an independent venture with Ferret Music and Independent Label Group. Whether it's intended that way or not, the band's first post- Atlantic release comes across like a middle finger to their former label in every way: Retribution brims with blistering rhythms, raging riffs, lightning-fast leads, lilting acoustic interludes, and vocals that are both more confidently roaring and more melodic and hook-laden than ever before.
Donais:Writing the record, we were all pretty angry because we didn't know what the hell was going on with the label. We knew we needed a change and we couldn't get a final answer about whether we could leave or not. It puts you in a mood where you just want to pick up a guitar and write heavy sh*t because you're pissed off.
Bachand: Right now it's a really good situation, but we definitely had a problem with Atlantic. A lot of people make up their own stories as to what they think happened. All the haters say, "Oh, they got dropped because the record sucked,blah, blah, blah." And that simply is not the case. We were going to do another record with them and then we said, "Look, you guys dropped the ball— can we leave?" And they let us walk. A few key people there—the CEO of the company and our A&R guys—ended up getting fired before the last record even came out. If those people didn't leave, we would probably be having a different conversation right now.
Donais: Not really. We started writing in May of last year, and we were in the studio by January. What usually happens is that Matt and I will get a blueprint of a song together, and then we'll bring it to the guys and everybody helps work it to what it ends up being.
Bachand: We've brought back some of the "metal epic"-style song that we've done in the past—with really long lead breaks and more complex structures. That's something we haven't done since our Art of Balance record, and I think it turned out pretty great. In a lot of cases, the songs were maybe half arranged in our heads before we even played them for each other, and then the two of us sat down with a drum machine and mapped everything out before bringing it to the rest of the band to fill in the holes.
Bachand: I would just say know your role and don't let your ego get in your way—especially if you're both lead players. That's just not my thing. That's Jon's deal, and I let him do it. But you can't step on each other's parts just to show off. Respect each other. Don't be all high and mighty thinking your stuff is better.
Bachand: No. I just try not to repeat what's going on when he writes a song. I try to play off his parts, rather than just playing a part identical to his. And for the rhythm under his leads, I'll try to really strip it back so it doesn't step on his notes. I write the notes around where the lead is going—write the rhythm underneath it.
Donais: Also, if I write a song, I'll play all the tracks on the record. And if Matt writes it, he'll play all the guitars except for the leads. You have to be so precise in metal that you could miss the exact way the other one is palm-muting something, and there are little notes you could miss here and there. You're never going to play it the same exact way, and we want it to be as tight as it can possibly be. So we just let each other do it. That way you save a lot of headaches and don't have to stand over the guy's shoulder and frustrate the beauty out of it.
Donais: Absolutely, man. If you like to shred, you've got to go through an Yngwie phase.
Donais: I'm really into the melodic shredders— the guys who can shred but still write great solos without playing a million arpeggios the whole time. My guys are more like Zakk Wylde, Dime, Alex Skolnick, Randy Rhoads. I really liked rock-blues shredders like John Sykes and Gary Moore. And then I also loved a lot of the hair metal guys like Warren DeMartini and George Lynch.
Bachand: I think that mainly I've learned a lot more about respecting Jon—to know my role and not think as an individual guitar player. You've got to think as a team.
Donais: I'm not sure. I'm always trying to keep some shredding in there to keep the guitar players happy, but also to keep melody in there so people who don't play guitar still appreciates the solos.
Donais: Yeah, I try to come up with some good hooks in there, and in some solos I don't shred at all—I try to think what someone like David Gilmour would do instead of what Yngwie would do. I try to bring the best of both worlds into my solos.
Donais: I use a Rivera K Tré head and cabinet with Celestion 75 speakers, and a signature ESP guitar with EMG 85 and 81 pickups. My pedalboard is pretty simple. It's got a Dunlop Jimi Hendrix wah, a Maxon OD808, an MXR Eddie Van Halen Phase 90, and a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. I also have a Korg tuner and a Shure wireless system. I use 1.35mm Dunlop Tortex Sharp picks and DR .010-.052-gauge strings.
Bachand: My guitar is an Ibanez MBM1 signature model with an EMG 81 in the bridge position and a 60 in the neck. I use the 60 for clean sounds. I use .88mm Dunlop Tortex Sharps and DR Extra Life .011-.050-gauge strings. With amps, I'm actually between rigs right now. I'm toying with a few different companies, comparing stuff from Engl, Randall, Peavey, and that new EVH 5150 III. As far as the basic layout of the rig, I keep it nice and simple: I don't put anything in front of the amp except a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor and a Rocktron Hush rack unit. If I'm in the states, then I'll use the rack. If I'm flying somewhere outside the country, I'll take the Boss pedal. Oh—and for clean tones, we run an A/B switch to a BBE Acoustimax DI that goes straight to the front of the house.
Bachand: In the studio we tend to mix it up. We use a Roland Jazz Chorus for some electric stuff, we've used Line 6 PODs, and we used the Takamines a lot on this record.
Bachand: I'm looking for a really bright midrange that's going to cut through, but also a thick bottom end that doesn't get lost and muddy. It needs to be really, really tight— like Testament or Anthrax. That really tight chunk that lets you distinguish what's going even when there's fast playing.
Bachand:We close miked Jon's amp with a Shure SM57 and blended it with a condenser that was about six inches from the cone. Another thing our producer, Chris "Zeuss" Harris, does is use two cabinets, because he's noticed a difference in tone if you only use one cabinet with heads like that.
Bachand: We try to have at least slightly different tones that blend well together. If they're exactly the same, it just doesn't sound right in a live setting. Jon tends to have a little more midrange and not too much gain, and I tend to use a lot more gain to get that saturation and make the mids cut.
Donais: Let's see…I'm a huge Hall & Oates fan. I've always been a Michael Jackson fan, too. Everyone's going to think I'm saying that because of what just happened to him, but nope—I've been listening to him for years. We'll have stupid dance parties on our bus where we crank Madonna and stuff like that. We love Duran Duran, too. I like good '80s pop.
Bachand: Lately, I've been really getting into the Fray, Snow Patrol, and things like that. I also have the entire Yanni catalog. I've seen him live four times—can't get enough. [Laughs]
Bachand: That is a little disappointing, I gotta admit.

CORRESPONDENCE TO: Adam J. Shapiro, MD, Department of Pediatrics, Montreal Children's Hospital, McGill University, 2300 Tupper, D-380, Montreal, QC, H3H 1P3, Canada; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
FINANCIAL/NONFINANCIAL DISCLOSURES: The authors have reported to CHEST that no potential conflicts of interest exist with any companies/organizations whose products or services may be discussed in this article.
Reproduction of this article is prohibited without written permission from the American College of Chest Physicians. See online for more details.
We thank Dr Reich for his interest and comments on our recent article in CHEST.1 The link between motile cilia and organ laterality defects has been firmly established since Nonaka and colleagues2 first described this in mice with dysfunction of embryonic nodal cilia. Since then, several heterotaxy mouse models have confirmed the association of dynein arm defects and embryonic nodal cilia dysmotility with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).3-5 Theories on the interactions between motile nodal cilia and various forms of nonmotile cilia, both in the embryonic node6 and in the developing heart itself,7 have suggested that various signaling pathways are required for embryonic heart and visceral organ formation. Some of these signaling pathways may rely on nonmotile cilia8 or even mechanosensory functions9 of motile cilia. However, thus far in human studies, genetic mutations causing PCD with organ laterality defects are limited to those encoding for dynein arms, which are also required for embryonic nodal cilia motility.1
Human studies have failed to demonstrate PCD with cardiac defects or organ laterality defects involving deformities of the central apparatus or radial spokes (which are normally absent in embryonic nodal cilia). Of note, laterality defects have been seen in several primary ciliopathies including Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Meckel syndrome, nephronophthisis, and Jeune syndrome,10 supporting the concept that sensory cilia play a role in organ laterality. Although we are merely beginning to understand the complex interplay between motile and nonmotile cilia in congenital heart disease and organ laterality defects, we can only confirm aberrations in motile cilia as directly causing PCD with organ laterality defects.

YouTuber Chad Desmond created a small piece of cinematic brilliance by re-cutting and turning Blade Runner into a black and white Film Noir classic.
As a huge fan of the movie, I think this is a love note to both Ridley Scott and his vision. Personally, it makes me wish they'd make a film noir edit just so I can own it.
Check it out after the break—and here's lookin' at you, kid.

Resolution to Stand with ILWU Airport Workers for a Just Contract at Sea-Tac
March 15, 2017
Whereas the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) is a union within the Maritime Trades constituency of this Council; and
Whereas ILWU Local 9's membership is made up of workers who perform aviation security and operations at Sea-Tac airport; and
Whereas ILWU Local 9 members have been fighting at the Port of Seattle for a fair contract, working under an extension of an expired agreement for more than two years; and
Whereas Port of Seattle management attempted to privatize and outsource new Local 9 security work to Delta Airlines; and
Whereas ILWU Local 9 fought the attempt and secured Port recognition of new hires as Local 9 members; and
Whereas Port of Seattle management has meanwhile tried to obstruct and avoid resolution of a new agreement which would retain new and existing employees who keep the airport safe and running smoothly through worker protections, fair wages and working conditions; and
Whereas the former Port of Seattle CEO recently resigned in part because of improper use of millions of taxpayer dollars, paid largely to Port managers; and
Whereas Port staff continue to claim in bargaining that basic wage parity and maintenance of affordable health benefits are not financially possible; and
Whereas Port staff even called armed police on members' bargaining committee recently in response to heated conversation at the table, in an apparent attempt to intimidate members; and
Whereas ILWU Local 9 members have made every effort to move forward for a swift and fair resolution of bargaining, through informal sidebar discussions, public mediation, and other available venues; now, therefore be it
Resolved, that by the adoption of this resolution, the Martin Luther King County Labor Council and its affiliates shall support ILWU Local 9 members to secure fair treatment of workers who keep our airport safe and running smoothly for the public.
Resolution in Opposition to the American Health Care Act
Whereas under the American Health Care Act (AHCA), 24 million Americans will lose healthcare insurance coverage; and
Whereas loss of insurance coverage means these 24 million patients will delay seeking care until conditions have worsened and become far more expensive, will turn to high-cost Emergency Rooms for care rather than getting care in a more economical clinic setting, and will need financial aid and "charity care" to support their treatment, all of which harm those patients and increase costs on the healthcare system; and
Whereas the increased cost of the 24 million uninsured will be passed on to everyone including employers who pay for health benefits for employees, making employer-sponsored coverage less affordable; and
Whereas the AHCA includes tax cuts of $207,000 for the top 0.1% of wage earners while the lowest 20% of wage earners would receive tax cuts of just $150, creating a huge redistribution of wealth from working people to the wealthy; and
Whereas it is harmful to our economy to tax healthcare benefits in our system that relies primarily on employer-based healthcare; and
Whereas we value caring for those in need and see attempts to slash, block grant, and eventually end Medicaid as we know it as an unconscionable attack on children, elders, people with disabilities, and those most in need of care; and
Whereas health care is a human right and our nation should strive to cover every individual with a health plan that focuses on patient care not profit rather than moving backward to deny care to more individuals; and
Whereas as a labor movement, we fight to protect working people's access to healthcare and for a more just and humane society; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the MLKCLC strongly opposes the American Health Care Act and the Republican plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act without ensuring an acceptable replacement, and be it further
Resolved, we will educate and mobilize our membership to oppose this attempt to deny healthcare access and transfer wealth from working people to the wealthy; and be it further
Resolved, we call on Congress and the President to improve our nation's health care system by ensuring quality, affordable health care for all; and be it further
Resolved, that the MLKCLC forwards this resolution to the Washington State Labor Council for adoption & for the State labor council to forward it to all affiliates of the WSLC & to the National AFL-CIO; and be it finally
Resolved, that the MLKCLC encourages affiliates to share this resolution with their membership, their local executive boards, and their international presidents, condemning the Republican AHCA & urge adoption.
Resolution to Plan and Support May 1st Day of Resistance
March 15, 2017
Whereas the Martin Luther King County Labor Council (MLKCLC) has historically joined with allies in the immigrant rights movement to promote and participate on May 1st as a national day of action;
Whereas this year, the election of Donald Trump has already catalyzed renewed attacks not only on unions and immigrant workers' rights, but also on Muslims, transgender individuals, the disabled, as well as our health care system, freedom of religion, public education, science, and the environment; and
Whereas now more than ever it is critical that the labor movement and allies unify and mobilize in mass actions to resist these attacks; and
Whereas since January 2017 we've seen several massive nationwide protests and collective expressions that have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to join together and oppose these attacks, such as the Womxn's March, the mobilizations of thousands of Washington State workers to oppose right-to-work bill in the state Legislature, and the spontaneous occupations of airports by thousands across the country in response to Trump's Muslim travel ban; and
Whereas MLKCLC affiliates totaling more than ten thousand members (UAW 4121, WFSE 304, SEA) have already passed resolutions in support of strike actions on May 1st, and other affiliates are discussing plans for May 1st to help create the strongest worker-led protest in Seattle and King County; and
Whereas immigrant rights organizations nationwide are preparing for a May Day general strike; and
Whereas this is part of a growing national move to strike on May Day, as Philadelphia nurses, Chicago teachers, and janitors in California have all have voted to take steps toward striking on May 1st; now therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Martin Luther King County Labor Council commits to joining with allies on May 1st to plan, organize union members, and help gather resources for a day of resistance, direct action, community empowerment and voter engagement, kicking off solidarity actions to mobilize for progressive change nationwide; and, be it further
Resolved, that the Martin Luther King County Labor Council urges its affiliates to consider all forms of action on May 1, 2017, whether striking, walking out, taking sick days, extended lunch hours, exercising rights of conscience, organizing demonstrations or teach-ins, or any other acts of collective expression that builds solidarity across communities; and, be it finally
Resolved, that the MLKCLC will help organize a mass rally on May 1, 2017 in solidarity with el Comite and the May 1 Organizing Committee and other social justice organizations to bring together all workers, whether on strike or not, to show the maximum worker-led opposition to the agenda of Donald Trump and his allies at every level of government.
Resolution in Support of the International Women's Day March Against Trump
March 1, 2017
Whereas thousands of workers in King County have been leading and participating in multiple direct actions in recent months, not only to signal opposition to the divisive, anti-worker agenda of Donald Trump but also to be actively engaged in policy changes that will create positive change for all; and
Whereas on March 8th, 2017, International Women's Day, there will be an International Women's Day March Against Trump based on principles used to help organize other recent mass actions (such as the Womxn's march) including:
Strengthening Workers Rights
Pushing for equal pay and eliminating the gender pay gap
Fighting for equal treatment and an end to sexual harassment and sexual violence
Fighting all forms of discrimination
Strengthening Immigrant Rights
Protecting Reproductive Rights
Pushing for Environmental Justice; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Martin Luther King County Labor Council endorses the International Women's Day Action on Wednesday, March 8th at 6:00 p.m. in Westlake Park and will notify its affiliates and urge them to attend.
Resolution in Support of OPEIU Local 8 Negotiations with Welfare and Pension Administration Services
February 1, 2017
Whereas Welfare & Pension Administration Services, after months of bargaining with OPEIU Local 8, continues to stand by their proposals of extreme takeaways, eroding union rights, employee morale and financial security; and
Whereas Welfare & Pension Administration Services' proposal includes the elimination of senority rights as those rights pertain to layoffs, promotions, transfers, shift changes and vacations; and
Whereas Welfare & Pension Administration Services' contract proposal includes reduction in health benefits, significantly increasing out of pocket costs for Local 8 members, and increasing the eligibility requirements for part time employees to qualify for those benefits from 20 hours to 30 hours worked per week; and
Whereas Welfare & Pension Administration Services' proposal includes takeaways as follows:
~Sick leave benefits reduced from 12 to 7 days per year and no rollover of sick leave
~Vacation leave benefits for new hires after 1/1/17 reduced from up to 25 days to a maximum of 15 days; and
Whereas Welfare & Pension Administration Services' proposal includes the elimination of union dues deductions; and
Whereas many affiliated MLKCLC unions' employees are provided benefits admninistered through Welfare & Pension Administration Services and any disruption of said benefits would be detrimental to the labor movement; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the MLKCLC communicate directly to Welfare & Pension Administration Services expressing the Council's displeasure with the disrespectful way the company is negotiating with OPEIU 8; and be it finally
Resolved, that the MLKCLC encourage all affiliates to express their displeasure with Welfare & Pension Administration Services over the takeaways in their contract proposal to OPEIU Local 8.
Resolution Defending the Rights of Immigrant Workers Targeted by the Trump Administration
January 18, 2017
Whereas immigrant workers have always contributed tremendously to the economic, cultural, and political strength of our country, and are intertwined and indispensable to the industries – agricultural, service, academic, professional, science, manufacturing, medical, construction, technical and more – in which we contribute our labor and are organizing into unions; and
Whereas all workers are adversely affected when any worker is exploited; and
Whereas in recent years, the immigrant rights movement has made important strides in strengthening rights and protections, such as pushing President Obama to pass the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which allows young people who were brought to the United States before the age of 16 to stay in the country and work; and
Whereas in the most recent presidential election, Donald Trump and his backers promoted racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia, homophobia, and anti-Semitism, and divided working people by playing to their fears and legitimate frustrations; and
Whereas among other statements Trump has threatened to deport millions of undocumented workers, end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program, ban Muslim immigrants, end guest worker programs, and create a Muslim registry; and
Whereas after the election Trump and his supporters have continued to spout racism, nationalism, and bigotry, leading to an upsurge in hate crimes in our nation; and
Whereas in the same vein we also have seen Trump attack union leaders and other grassroots activists; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that we refuse to become divided, committing ourselves instead to building a wall of resistance to Trump's racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, anti-semitism along with other attacks he's promised against working people; and be it further
Resolved, that we affirm our support for comprehensive immigration reform, which includes a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the U.S., and provides equal protection and increased enforcement of labor rights for all workers, including the right to organize; and be it further
Resolved, we will stand beside and take action with immigrant students and young workers under threat of losing the protective immigration status and work permits currently provided by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program; and be it further
Resolved, that we will reject and work to stop all attempts by the Trump Administration to create a Muslim registry or resume the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, that targeted immigrant men from majority Muslim countries; and be it further
Resolved, that we will reject any effort to limit or eliminate changes to visa and work authorization programs that enable international students and scholars to gain work opportunities in the U.S.; and be it finally
Resolved, that we will unite with other groups in our community to defend the rights of our immigrant brothers, sisters, and friends by supporting local solidarity actions, sanctuary movements, and local and state legislative efforts to defend the rights of immigrants.
Resolution In Support of AFSCME Local 2084 (CASA)
January 4, 2017
Whereas employees in the King County Superior Court, Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program are represented by Washington State Council of County and City Employees, AFSCME, Council 2 and members of Local 2084;
Whereas CASA attorneys, CASA Supervisors and Guardians ad Litem advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children, our most vulnerable citizens of King County. The work group of 16 attorneys and social workers is almost all female. In 2009, after careful consideration, these hard working, dedicated professionals exercised their legal right to unite and request recognition as a bargaining group;
Whereas in 2015, the Court excluded CASA staff and other unionized employees from a class compensation study. The Court Administration raised the salaries of most non-represented staff including managers, excluding union members, late in 2015. Court management advised members of Local 2084 CASA that raises were prohibited by union contracts. However, nothing in the union contracts prohibit agreements to raise employee salaries and maintain fairness;
Whereas the Court and the County did not work with the Union proactively to correct the inequity and, during bargaining, refused to stop penalizing union members and restore equity;
Whereas CASA Supervisors and the Family Court Services social workers have long received equal pay and benefits, having been seen and described by management as equivalent positions. Nevertheless, the Court gave raises only to non-represented staff, deliberately disadvantaging the CASA staff due only to their represented status;
Whereas inequities hurt everyone. Both the Superior Court and the County Executive should avoid the perception of penalizing employees for engaging in unionizing. A Court, in particular, should never retaliate against staff for exercising their legal rights. Neither should the Court and County exacerbate pay inequities between women and men, or value the employees serving the most vulnerable less than employees serving other populations. Instead, the County and Court should be leaders in the promotion of fairness and inclusion; now, therefore, be it
Resolved that the Martin Luther King County Labor Council calls upon the King County Executive, the King County Superior Court Chief Judge, and the Superior Court Chief Administrative Officer, to immediately rectify this situation and do what is just and fair for these employees, including compensating them for lost wages in 2016 and promising not to do the same thing again; and be it further
Resolved that we implore all other Labor Brothers and Sisters to be aware of this injustice and to help us herald a new wave of solidarity as may be needed if this employer fails to provide equity in this circumstance in the near future.

TINGGI Mega Engineering Technology Sdn Bhd joined forces with Zhejing Eastern Hobas Pipes Co Ltd and the Brunei Association of Surveyors, Engineers and Architects (PUJA) in hosting a seminar for local engineers and students at the Training Centre, Ministry of Development (MoD) in Berakas yesterday.
Present at the seminar were Hjh Mastitawati binti Haji Sanif, Chairlady of Tinggi Mega Engineering Technology Sdn Bhd, Dato Paduka Seri Haji Abdul Rahman bin Awang Haji Besar, Chairman and CEO of Koperasi Rimbun Berhad (KOPRI) and Haji Nazri bin Haji Yusof, Vice-President of the Brunei Association of Surveyors, Engineers and Architects.
Among the invited speakers were Wong Bo Hua, President of Zhejiang Eastern Hobas Pipes Co Ltd and Wu Donsgsheng from Wenzhou University of Wenzhou, China who presented the topic on the damages of pipes due to chemical attack and the introduction of Hobas CC-GRP (centrifugally cast glass reinforced plastics) pipes system.
Zhejinag Eastern Hobas Pipes Co Ltd is the licensed partner of Hobas Engineering Group in Austria for manufacture and sales of Hobas CC-GRP Pipes and fittings in China. Hobas pipes are anti-corrosion pipes which are lightweight and have high durability that requires easy installations. Hobas pipes have been widely used for sewerage, water supply and drainage projects worldwide.
"Hobas CC-GRP pipes are now introduced in Brunei. We believe that Hobas pipes will become your wise choice and you will benefit from it one day," the organisers said.
The seminar concluded with a Q&A session and a presentation of tokens of appreciation to speakers and invited guests.

Four years ago on the Monday after Thanksgiving, a co-worker and I came into work and said to each other, "Let's join Weight Watchers." Just like that.* We went online, found a meeting that met Wednesdays during lunch across the street at the Merchandise Mart, and each signed up then and there. It was within one of those little Weight Watcher booklets that one of the best recipes for vegetable soup was found.
|Mise en place!
Behold...the Zero Point Garden Vegetable Soup**! This soup is sooo easy to make, soooo delicious, and gives you room to play around with the ingredients. Don't like carrots, skip 'em! Love celery, go ahead and add it! Wanna add some more herbs, OK! Want some chicken or beef or pork or beans or tofu? Well...you get the idea. This is a very healthy soup to recharge your bod after a weekend of stuffing, pies, and whatnot.
Garden Vegetable Soup
|Big ol' pot of soup!
- 4 cups of gluten free broth (I use CelifibR Chicken bouillon cubes)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Medium onion, finely chopped
- 3-4 large carrots, chopped
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 c. green beans
- 1 small head of cabbage
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- If making broth with bouillon, boil the water and prepare as package directs. If using a pre-made broth, cool, you're one step ahead!
- Heat a large pot until warm (if you flick a little water in the pan and it sizzles, it's ready), add the oil to coat the pan. Add garlic, onion, and carrots and saute for about 5 minutes. The onions and garlic will begin to brown.
- Add broth, tomato paste, green beans, cabbage, basil and oregano. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The vegetable will be nice and tender.
- Add zucchini and simmer for 5-10 more minutes.
- Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
|I added some Great White Northern Beans, yum!
* Well more like "ugh...what DIDN'T we eat this weekend? We gotta do something about this..."
** This soup is no longer zero points, since WW switched to Points+. They don't even list this recipe in their eTools database anymore, just a similar "Italian Inspired Soup" which omits the cabbage (the best part!!!) which is 1 Points+. Also if you add anything extra (like I did with the beans), that cranks up the points/calories value.

Tank Abbott Returns to MMA at King of the Cage
David Abbott (10-14) gears up for his next fight against Ruben "Warpath" Villareal on April 13 at King of the Cage (KOTC) -- less than two weeks before "Tank" turns 48.
His most recent 'fight' was an unsanctioned backyard brawl, lol. He really should stay away. I enjoyed watching Tank fight back in the day, but he's literally got nothing left to offer.
The video starts off really good, and then gets super boring/uninteresting at around 17 seconds in, then it picks up again at about 1:23 into the video.
Just saving you guys some time. :thumbsup:
Maybe Tank can win this and avegenge his loss to don frye with a rematch
Warpath via a tank "old fat guy" gout flair up in round two.
He really needs to permanently retire. He's taken too many beatings from too many people. Not to mention his brawling style doesn't work anymore.
Was a big Tank fan back in the day but this is not going to be pretty. Reminds me of all those Ken Shamrock fights post-UFC. God they were tough to watch as a Shamrock fan. Losing to guys like "Buzz Berry" lol
Is Shamrock finally in retirement?

Chancellor George Osborne's plans to spend billions on roads and flood defence in tomorrow's Autumn Statement can't come soon enough for Britain's civil engineers after a growth wobble in November.
Osborne is expected to give the go-ahead for a tunnel under Stonehenge and other road-building projects. The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply said civil engineers were worst hit in a November when the UK's recent revival in construction work tailed off slightly.
Cips reported "a marked slowdown" with growth at its weakest since July 2013. Its overall activity index — though well above the 50 no-change mark signalling industry expansion — fell to 59.4 in November from 61.4 the previous month, marking the slowest pace of growth since October 2013.
Tim Moore, senior economist at Markit, said: "The construction sector remains a strong growth engine within the UK economy, but momentum has undoubtedly cooled since the summer." Alongside civil engineers, house building and commercial building activity also slowed, he added.
Despite softer growth in new orders and output, builders are still hiring. But hurdles ahead include the rising cost of building materials, and payments to subcontractors jumped at their fastest rate for 17 years over the month.
Cips chief executive David Noble warned: "The one dark spot on the horizon is the danger of prolonged skill shortages across the construction sector. Sub-contractors are in high demand and becoming increasingly costly, so the recruitment difficulties experienced by many firms may need to be addressed sooner rather than later."
"Construction activity appears to have come off its recent boiling point but remains relatively hot compared to long-term norms," according to IHS Global Insight's Howard Archer.Reuse content

All up hill one way. Extremely rocky in long sections. Very uncomfortable on feet even with great hiking shoes. Tough on ankles. Just OK, but mile 2.5 has very pretty view on rock outcropping.

Adams Antics
Adam Carolla has a big mouth, and its served him well.
For more than a decade, the outspoken Ace Man co-hosted radios legendary Loveline, dishing out sex tips and relationship advice between acerbic observations. His caustic quips and penchant for pissing people off also worked well for him on Comedy Centrals hilariously misogynistic The Man Show and kooky Crank Yankers programs, as well as his own syndicated radio show.
All three programs have since been axed, but Carolla is still as mouthy as ever. Hes been busy creating a popular weekly podcast downloaded by more than one million listeners and touring the country spreading his ridiculous rancor to sold-out crowds.
Carolla visits the Orpheum Theatre on Friday, April 23, and will likely entertain and offend his fans in Phoenix with such bits as What Can't Adam Complain About and Why I Hate L.A.

Our country may be developed, but every day people go hungry for a variety of reasons such as unexpected bills, redundancy and homelessness. Latest government figures have revealed that 52,000 families were formally declared as homeless last year.
This has resulted in an increasing need for food banks. Statistics published by leading charity The Trussell Trust revealed that food banks fed 913,138 people nationwide last year including 330,205 children.
Armley Junk-tion, currently ranked 126th of 1373 places to eat in Leeds on Tripadvisor, is a special place. The homeless and people who have fallen on hard times dine shoulder-to-shoulder with middle class clientele, with the food easily being on a par with high end restaurants, and everyone has a smile on their face.
Instead of having prices on the menu you literally contribute what you feel like paying. This usually means paying what you can afford or what you thought the food was worth. The project, the brainchild of 30-year-old local Adam Smith, intercepts food otherwise destined for landfills and converts it into healthy, delicious dishes that the whole community enjoy.
During the research for this article I spoke to Teresa Milligan, co-director of Armley Junk-tion , she said:
The food waste from the supermarkets is disgusting; they see one dodgy tomato and throw the whole crate away. Why throw it away? We have hungry people that need it. It's just common sense.
This sentiment was echoed by a nameless 21-year-old employee of a similar project, the Magic Hat café in Newcastle, who had this to say:
Supermarkets refuse to give us their food so we mostly get it from schools and markets but we all know the main waste is in the big supermarkets.
So is it true? Would our supermarkets rather throw food away than help to feed our homeless? I spoke to various employees, both past and present, who have chosen to remain unidentified.
Marks & Spencer
"I know that we used to give all our food waste to local charities but then someone sued M&S after they got poisoned. They throw it all away now."
RESPONSE: Not available to comment.
Employee 1: "I was left in tears when I was told by my manager that I could not give the food to the homeless. It was past its best before but not use by date and it was all thrown into a bin with a lock on it. This happens daily."
Employee 2 (different store): "Every weekend I closed down the bakery section. Two hours before we closed I would reduce them to try and avoid wastage. When this didn't work I would actually have to put loafs of bread, baked that day, into the rubbish bins. I asked manager my why we couldn't give it to charity and was told "that's just the way it is.""
RESPONSE: "What you've been told does not reflect our approach to minimising food waste and donating it to those in need. We work very hard in our communities, supporting local groups with regular donations of time (volunteering), money and food."
"Any food we didn't sell had to be put through a waste disposal unit where it was destroyed. You weren't allowed to eat it or give it away. I asked if we could give it to homeless and was told we couldn't in case someone got ill and sued."
RESPONSE: Not available to comment.
"Aldi don't really have best before dates and all food waste goes straight back to the warehouse and goes into producing bio-fuel."
RESPONSE: "At Aldi we work hard to eliminate food waste at our stores. In 2012, donations of non-perishable food waste to charitable organisations became standard practice in the UK business.
"As well as this, since 2013 all UK stores have been disposing of perishable food waste that is unfit for donation through our anaerobic digestion programme, in order to recycle food waste and reduce the amount going to landfill."
"Tesco isn't as bad as you would think; it's just the bakery that is terrible for food waste. Loads of bread gets thrown in the bins. I feel shan [?] about binning it man."
RESPONSE: "We are looking at lots of ways to reduce food waste, and we are working with charities to make sure surplus food – including bakery – goes to people who really need it. All bakery waste that can't be distributed in this way is recycled and used to feed farm animals."
France has now introduced legislation forcing supermarkets to give their waste to charity. Do you think we should do the same?
If so you can do something about it by clicking here and signing our petition.
If we get 100k signatures we'll lobby parliament.

Author has written 2 stories for Mechwarrior/Battletech.
Name: Marcus
Date of Birth: 17th January 1975
Location: Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom
Occupation: I work for the Environment Agency as a flood defence engineer
Hobbies: I'm into a number of sports, including football, rugby, mountain biking and canoeing. I'm a real music nut (mostly rock and metal) and go to gigs whenever I can. I'm also a mediocre guitar player. I also write in my spare time...very slowly. I take my inspiration from action, sci-fi and horror films, TV series, books and computer games.
Philosophy: Hope for the best but prepare for the worst!
What you can expect: Currently the only fan fiction I write is Battletech/MechWarrior based, but I'm also a fan of series such as the X-Files, Farscape, the various Star Trek series, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG1, Andromeda and Sanctuary. I'd like to think I will get around to writing some stuff, based on these shows, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. I'm a huge Heroes fan too, but doubt I will ever attempt a story, as I don't think I could possibly do it justice.
I also started a Star Wars fanfic a couple of years ago, set immediately after Revenge of the Sith. If I can remember what I did with it, I hope to finish it at some point and post it here for your delectation (or otherwise).
I'm also in the process of writing original stories VERY loosely based on Knight Rider and the computer game Half Life (links to follow in due course).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
To complete an adoption with us we need you to come to our adoption event this Friday or Saturday from 11-4 at the Petco in Rancho San Diego. You will need to bring a copy of a lease stating that you can have dogs, how many, and what kind if you rent. If you own we will need proof of ownership, a mortgage statement, tax paperwork, or a deed with your name and address on it. All members of the household must be present to meet the dog and take part in the interview as well as any current dogs. Our adoption fee is $300 in cash and all of the dogs come spayed or neutered, de-wormed, and up to date on vaccinations. If you have any more questions please feel free to send them our way. Hope to see you then!
Ladybug, a Santee Dachshund/Pug puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Pug for sale in Santee, or seeking a Dachshund/Pug puppy from a breeder in Santee.
