Morning Meanderings… Sunday Salon
Good morning. I am sitting at my kitchen table looking out on another gloomy rainy windy day. GAH. SO much for our weekend plans. We were going to head to our cabin later this morning with some friends on motorcycles and stay over night and come back later tomorrow since we all have tomorrow off….
however in light of today… and apparently tomorrows forecast… that doesn't look like it is going to happen. The only two nice days we had this past week I was too busy to enjoy them… now that I am sitting on oodles of time… the weather is not cooperating. 😯
Our local movie theater is currently under construction while it is being made from Movies 10, to Lakes 12… word on the street is better seating and concession stand. I think it opens next weekend but I will not have time then as I am lifting off for BEA. (SQQUUEEE!!!!)
So enough about the gloom…
here's something that makes me happy – BOOKS!
Quite the assortment of goodies that came in the mailbox this week… I don't think I requested The Meryl Streep Movie Club but now that it is in-house it looks interesting…. but I SSQQQUUUEEEDDDD when I seen A Night To Remember in audio. Thank you Audio Jukebox. You are my Jukebox Hero (and yes, later there will be a song!)
BUT… that is not all! You may recall I went to some garage sales on Friday….
YAY right? I think these will all go to my book shelf to the cabin, which this last weekend when I was there felt it could use some more books. 😀 The top one "Haunted Lakes" is just the type of fun books I like to keep there anyway – I like a good mix of books that anyone can pick up – quite a few about Minnesota, I picked up a couple about birds this week too and forgot to add them here….
Last weekend Justin looked at the three books I brought with me to read. "Do you have anything less chickie?" he said. I pointed to the shelf and he found himself a good mystery that he sunk into. I love that. 😀
So that's the books in-house this week… I need to go get ready for church and then come home and write-up a couple of reviews while we decide what we will do with our day. I hope your weekend plans and the weather is cooperating for you… I can always dig into a book this afternoon. A few, as usual, are calling my name… and I really need to finish Jane Eyre. 😀

Wowee that's a lot of books! I can't believe we'll be in NY in a week's time. I've got so much to do to get ready!! I can't wait to see you again!
I am so jealous of Ninepins! I want that Rosy Thornton book so much! 😀
It sounds like a good day to read. The sun is out here…but it's not warm.
I used to stay at a hotel at the beach with my family which had a book shelf in the room that you could read from. You were free to take books from the shelf and add to them, it seemed like such a good idea for a beachy vacation place. Leave behind what you finish and take something new. There was quite the assortment of books on the shelf and they were never the same when you came back (or maybe we were always in another room?). Hope you enjoy your day! I cna't imagine riding a motorcycle for a long distance. Last weekend was my first time on one and I only went around the block as a passenger. It felt kind of scary to me!
I'm sorry you are having such miserable weather, but all those books look wonderful. Enjoy them!
Love the sound of your cabin and it's little stash of books.
So pumped for BEA!!
Also? My co-blogger Allison really liked A Night To Remember, I hope you love it as well.
I read and reviewed The Calling a while ago and enjoyed it. I never did see if there was a sequel though, I need to check on that.
Excellent pile of books. While I hope you get good weather soon, aren't rainy days just the perfect excuse for curling up with a book?

I'm trying to figure out a weird problem with one of the sites I put together.
http://tinyurl.com/yjpk6q2 (tiny url for search result purposes)
If you go to that link you'll see it brings you to the root .com site. But after you click any menu item it adds all this extra url to it.
So what I'm trying to figure out is if silverstripe CMS has an advanced control panel sort of like how wordpress does so I can see if there's an option for what the default directory is.
I have no idea why it's adding the /~username/domain.com/page/ after the domain.com
So is there an advanced control panel? and has anyone else seen something like this happen before?
The way the host is setup is you ftp to their domain name and it displays all your domains.. and the web access to view that is
http://www.sonic.net/~username/ which is why i think the domain url is so weird.

How long until SHTF?
This is a really long read, but IMO very valuable... According to the author, we are close to the end. Video at the end of the article is also worth watching.
9 to 12 months.
I've been saying 5 years it less, but I keep shortening the time frame. I'm now thinking 2 years, tops. Unless there is some serious appeasement coming our way.
Imo, there are a number of things that have perculated up to be taken notice of. I feel no need to list them again in this post, as they drip thru this forum with great frequentcy.
Any of the scenerios which we talk about could be the catalyst for what we fear most, the safety of our families and friends and our ability to protect them. Civil unrest and martial law are hand and glove.
I'll go with the Mayan calender. Atleast that gives us 1 full year to the day.
I didn't read it all, but I'm guessing he's after your money by useing scare tactics. A sound financial strategy is to generally ignore guys named Porter.
US hit a milestone today (yesterday?), our published debt now exceeds our published GDP. Our debt to GDP ratio is greater than 100%, and getting worse by the day. And that's only using the published numbers. If we were held to the exact same standard as Greece, Greece would look like a pebble on the street in comparison to the US.
If you have a means of refuting his claims and reassuring us they're not as dire as he's making them out to be, please share the URLs!
There is certainly some sort of sales pitch aspect to this or use the article at the very least to draw attention to his services for investment info/strategy. The info and stats seem pretty accurate and is worth the read. The only issue I have with the investment aspect is that if this guy really believes SHTF is less than year away why would anyone bother with T-Bills,etc...?! Seems like a waste of funds when you could put them to much better use for ammo, food, etc...
I think the scariest thing about the possibility of SHTF in the very near future is that it could happen very quickly when it does go. Also, I believe that it will not necessarily take a large event such as a coordinated terrorist attack, full financial collapse, etc... I think it could possibly happen from a much smaller event which may cause, at first, localized panic which then leads to much more wide spread panic and so on. Much like the rush on gas stations that we have encountered here a few times in the last couple years. Where all it takes is a few ill placed news reports or rumors of gas shutdown or heavy shortages, then you hear the news report and may be a little concerned but don't believe it enough to run to the gas station, but then some others who are feeling the same see much longer lines than normal at the stations and of course start thinking "wow, there is really something to this!" and stop as well thinking that if they don't fill up while they can.... and then the wide spread panic starts to set in with people scrambling everywhere, traffic jams, etc...
That is my fear anyway, that it may not take an event that, in and of itself, would really warrant an all out collapse, but due to the current state of things with unemployment, banks, general unrest and uncertainty that it would quickly turn into a self fulfilling prophecy due to a wildfire of wide spread panic. I am sure I would be sucked in by it as well because if something happens then you see the news reports hyping things up, traffic begins to build with people rushing home from work to try to get to their families - who is really going to be willing to take the gamble that it is not really the beginning of the big SHTF? Will we know 100% certain - "This is it!" ? Will it begin as a whisper? Or a thunder clap?

I am scheduled for a tummy tuck july 1st. I dont expect to look like a barbie doll afterewards. But will i regret not having any lipo?
Is There a Huge Difference if Getting a Just a Tummy Tuck Vs. Tummy Tuck W Lipo???
Doctor Answers 11
Tummy Tuck
You will only regret lipo if you need it and don't get the procedure done. Have your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon give you their opinion. Remember, they see this condition before and after many times every week. Their advice can save you a surgery in the future.

Tummy tuck with liposuction vs tummy tuck alone
The proper procedure depends on the amount and distribution of your body fat. Generally, most patients who undergo a tummy tuck will benefit from some liposuction and contouring of their flanks (love handles) which accentuates their waistline. This may not be necessary if you are very thin however.
Liposuction of the mid/upper abdomen is not advised during a tummy tuck for reasons of blood supply.
Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine which procedure is best for you.
Best wishes,

Is There a Huge Difference if Getting a Just a Tummy Tuck Vs. Tummy Tuck W Lipo???
No photos so I do not know if you need hip or waist or back lipo with your TT??? Post a photo or speak to your chosen surgeon.

Liposuction and Tummy tucks
Liposuction can be combined with tummy tucks. Liposuction is frequently performed on the pubis and flanks at the time of a tummy tuck. Liposuction of the upper abdomen can be associated with serious complications such as skin necrosis. Liposuction can be performed simultaneously on the arms, thighs or knees if desired. It is best to discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon.
Tummy Tuck with/without Liposuction
You did not mention the area of liposuction about which you are referring. You certainly can have liposuction of areas distant to your abdomen performed safely at the time of your tummy tuck. I almost always perform liposuction of the flanks at the time of TT and include this in the fee. I prefer not to aggressively liposuction the upper abdomen during a TT and do this later as a separate procedure if indicated.
Tummy tuck and liposuction can be performed concurrently
Often some ancillary liposuction is used along with a tummy tuck to further refine the results and provide patients with an even better outcome. It is unclear from your question on liposuction if you are referring to other areas of the body aside from the abdomen. If so, the answer is that liposuction can be performed on other areas of the body if it is needed during the same surgical setting for a tummy tuck. This would allow you to obtain greater overall body contouring improvements in fewer surgical sessions and at a lesser total cost.

Tummy tuck with a little liposuction can make a nice difference
Liposuction is something we use in most tummy tuck procedures, and also in most breast reductions as well. Liposuction allows us a means to contour the transition over the hip and flank, and reduce the mons if necessary. The procedures compliment one another, and in many ways the liposuction is just another surgical 'tool' to get the best out of tummy tuck. Our practice will build the lipo into the cost of the tummy tuck, though ask carefully what your surgeons plans are.
Best of luck,

Including lipo in a "tummy tuck"
Absolutely!! If you want to reestablish the feminine "hour glass or accentuate it then lipo is a very valuable tool in the hands of a knowledgeable surgeon. You can see such cases on my web.
Please send pictures
Do you need liposuction? Without physical examination or pictures it would be impossible to give you good answer.
Lipo is a tool.

Popular Beliefs: Are They Biblical? was born out of the frequent discussions with Christians of different denominations about their beliefs. Participants at my weekend seminars as well as subscribers to my Endtime Issues Newsletter often ask me: Why are some of my beliefs biblically wrong? How can some of my beliefs be unbiblical, when they are held in common by the vast majority of Christians?
To answer questions such as these, I have devoted thirty years of my life researching and writing 18 books which examine some of today's popular beliefs from a biblical perspective. Furthermore, a large number of the 200 Endtime Issues Newsletters which I have emailed during the past 10 years to over 35,000 subscribers, examine popular beliefs historically and biblically. This book represents an expansion of these studies which are readily accessible at www.biblicalperspectives.com/endtimeissues/
What motivated me to spend one year of my life to research and write this book is the increasing demand for a study that can help sincere and open-minded Christians to test the validity of their beliefs on the basis of the normative authority of the Bible.
More and more Christians today are questioning the biblical validity of some of their denominational beliefs. They want to find out for themselves if what they believe is based on biblical teachings or church traditions. This book has been written with an earnest desire to help Christians of all persuasions to "come out" of the Babylonian confusion of popular but unbiblical beliefs, and accept God's glorious plan for our present life and our future destiny.

The British subsidiary of E.ON, the German utility stalking ScottishPower, yesterday gave the go-ahead for the UK's largest biomass power station - in Scotland.
E.ON UK will build the £90m plant at Lockerbie, in Dumfries and Galloway. It said the move will create more than 300 jobs, produce enough electricity for 70,000 homes and cut carbon emissions by 140,000 tonnes a year.
"This is a major project for us and for Scotland because biomass is a carbon neutral fuel with huge potential for both electricity generation and for farmers growing the crops we can burn," E.ON UK chief executive Paul Golby said.
The plant, which is being part-funded by an £18m grant from the national lottery, will initially burn forest residue - sawdust, branches and offcuts - from a nearby sawmill, but E.ON hopes that local farmers will switch to fast-growing willow to provide part of the plant's fuel.
"Lockerbie is further evidence of our commitment to helping both the UK Government and the Scottish Executive to meet their tough green energy targets. The project will also create hundreds of jobs, both directly and indirectly, in the local area," Dr Golby said.
The company said the plant, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2007, would be the biggest dedicated biomass generator in Britain - overtaking a plant at Thetford, Norfolk, which burns poultry litter.
The plant will use technology developed by Munich-based Siemens and Norway's Kvaerner, and will consume around 220,000 tonnes of oven-dried fuel a year. "You have to dry the fuel. Wet wood doesn't burn very well and gives off a lot of smoke," said a spokesman. He said the choice of location had been determined by the availability of fuel supplies locally and had nothing to do with E.ON's interest in ScottishPower.

I have been doing that since then but just recently I have gone completely caveman (not letting anything touch my face besides my pillow at night). I am on day 4 now and I already feel great about this decision. The itchiness has gone down and I really feel like my face is healing itself with the acid mantle. No cleansers, no cold water, nothing! And I play football and basketball so I sweat a lot but I let my face air dry. I wish I would have continued this from my childhood because I guarantee acne would not have been a problem for me. It makes a lot of sense that this Extreme Caveman Regimen is working because you are letting your face do what it should be doing- fighting off infection(ACNE) from the acid mantle by not using chemicals and stripping your face of it. I encourage people to lean off of their daily products like I did. Start with water only (it might get worse in the first two weeks but you will be glad you did like me) and after a while go completely caveman. For guys, try to shave before you start with an electric razor and continue to use that when you need to. I will be updating my progress as the days continue. I have to go now but feel free to comment and keep this page alive. I really want to spread the word of my experience and hope others can feel the same as I did. Note- I switched to completely caveman because I was still geting pimples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, running in the ninth district, has released a campaign video that says:
"In 1911 Turkey established gun control; from 1915 to 1917 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated. In 1939 Germany established gun control; from 1939 to 1945 6 million Jews, 7 million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated."
The video has outraged American Jews, who say Wurzelbacher is turning their national horror into campaign rhetoric.
In a uniquely American reaction to random fame, Wurzelbacher became a celebrity in 2008, when he was singled out in a John McCain campaign speech as representing "blue collar" America. He has since turned talk-show popularity into a bid for becoming a lawmaker.
The Republican candidate's video features him shooting tomatoes, while defending the right to own guns and concluding "I love America".

To counter the negative response and the subsequent PR challenges, Microsoft execs are turning the focus to digital delivery, with the hope that consumers will adjust to a console environment that does not rely on game discs. The problem is that Microsoft's core consumer base is unpersuaded. Additional restrictions on previously owned content and internet connectivity requirements have made it easier for Sony to gain access not only to the gaming world's undecided voters, but to loyal Xbox users as well.
Microsoft's battles are already being fought (and possibly lost) on a number of fronts, and PR difficulties in one of its strongest areas is no doubt a cause for concern at the company's strategic levels. As Sony and Microsoft move ahead, each on its own path to owning the living room, key challenges in defining the parameters for owning content lie ahead. Early signs suggest that Microsoft is already on the defensive, so the next question Is whether we will see policy changes in an effort to stem the rising signs of customer discontent.

Johannesburg - Information on former president Nelson Mandela's admission to hospital is being made available quicker than previously, a Rhodes University academic said on Monday.
"Last time there was more of a gap, uncertainty," Professor of journalism Herman Wasserman said on Monday.
"This time information seems to be coming out more quickly," said Wasserman, deputy head at the school of journalism.
This was after the presidency issued a statement on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to brief the media on the anti-apartheid stalwart and Nobel Peace Prize co-winner's admission for tests "consistent with his age".
On Monday, presidency spokesman Mac Maharaj responded to a Sapa inquiry to say there was no cause for alarm.
According to Monday's statement doctors would conduct further tests.
The public and family were also thanked for messages of support, and the media for affording him privacy.
It added that Monday was the anniversary of Mandela receiving the Nobel Peace Prize with former apartheid-era president FW de Klerk in 1993.
This was in contrast to what was described as a "media blackout" when Mandela was admitted to Johannesburg's Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg in January 2011 for a respiratory infection.
The dearth of information after one release issued on the Wednesday from the Nelson Mandela Foundation then escalated to rumours that he had died.
The Observer journalist David Smith wrote: "... the Twitter rumour mill ran wild Ä not the social network's finest hour."
Mail & Guardian editor Nic Dawes also wrote after that time: "So while the Mandela family and African National Congress leaders visited Milpark on Thursday, the rest of the country huddled as if in a national waiting room, anxiously parsing fragmentary and confusing news reports for information."
On the Friday, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe and SA National Defence Force Surgeon General Vejaynand Ramlakan eventually gave details of Mandela's treatment and recovery at a packed media briefing.
The foundation only issued a statement on the Monday after he returned home. Later it emerged that there had been a disagreement over who should handle communications over his health. At a meeting with editors it was agreed that communication on his health would be improved in future and would be through the presidency.
Wasserman said journalists also had to consider what sort of extra information they needed.
"Everybody is wishing him well and there is a collective desire in the country to have good news. But at the same time, it calls for a bit of restraint, holding back. A point at which the media must wait and see."
But, he said if it had been President Jacob Zuma in hospital the public interest factor would have been stronger than public curiosity.
People would wonder in that case if there was somebody in place to govern, and so the desire for more information would be understandable.
Getting relevant information out was important to counter the possibility of "vulture journalism".
"If you send information promptly, the stronger is the need to not camp out (outside a hospital). Withholding information might play into the hands of the paparazzi," he said.
Professor Anton Harber, who directs the journalism and media studies programme at the University of Witwatersrand, said he was overseas and so had not been able to measure the current coverage.
However, he advocated "at least twice-daily updates, even if they were "one-liners". More often if there were developments, good or bad.
This was apart from more substantial and reassuring "face-to-face" communication, he said.
Meanwhile, Maharaj told the BBC on Monday they wanted to avoid Mandela's health being treated like "a movement of share prices on the stockmarket", and wanted his family to be with him without having to answer questions.
He said the media had generally responded well. - Sapa

ENSLAVED - Trapped In A Blizzard, Forced To Cancel Toronto Show
February 18, 2013, 4 years ago
Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson from Norway's ENSLAVED "simply can't believe it; we're trapped in a blizzard at the US/CAN border near Winnipeg. We've been here for a full day now - meaning there is no chance of making tomorrow's show (February 19th) at The Opera House in Toronto; even if the weather should turn around dramatically during the next few hours. We're completely devastated as we sit on the bus waiting it out. We can't believe we'll miss what was for sure going to be one of the very highlights of this tour."
Enslaved express their sincere apologies to everyone in Toronto who was looking forward to the show.
Remaining dates on Enslaved's Winter Rite tour with PALLBEARER, ROYAL THUNDER and ANCIENT VVISDOM include:
February20 - Les Foufounes Electriques – Montreal, QC

CIVL took the opportunity of the FAI European Paragliding Championships in Saint- André-les-Alpes, France, to convene a meeting on September 15th between CIVL, the Paraglider Manufacturers' Association (PMA) and the European Hang gliding and Paragliding Union (EHPU) representatives. The primary topic on the agenda was to discuss possible solutions to the competition paraglider situation. Unfortunately, PMA was not ready to attend the meeting. CIVL suggested to meet PMA during its General Assembly in Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet, France, during the Coupe Icare on September 20th. This report concerns both meetings.
In Saint-André, CIVL and EHPU agreed that the introduction of high-level competition paragliders in the EN certification scheme has distorted and devalued the system, which was originally intended to give leisure pilots an indication of the skills required to handle these certified paragliders. It was not intended for competition paragliders. Both parties agreed that solutions to re-introduce a paraglider Competition Class had to be found outside the current EN. However, the parties stated differing views on what these solutions should be.
EHPU attendees to the meeting promised to finalize their position in writing to CIVL as soon as possible. We understood that EHPU would like CIVL to oversee the process of defining Competition Class paragliders, with a set of "technical requirements" that would be added to the current EN-D requirements. Only paragliders meeting both EN and CIVL requirements would be allowed in Category 1 competitions.
CIVL maintained the stance it took during the February 2012 Plenary. Category 1 events should be flown on current EN certified paragliders until a solution is found. A new Competition Class should be created outside current EN, whose technical requirement would be defined by PMA, approved by CIVL and hopefully supported by EHPU. This new Competition Class could possibly be included in a new "light" EN-X (light meaning less manoeuvres, hence cheaper test and faster revisions of EN-X). In parallel, with the help of PMA, the qualifications needed for competition pilots to be flying on the new Competition Class paragliders would be defined and included in a mandatory scheme.
CIVL also stressed that, in the current EN-D testing programme, gliders are flown in configurations that do not relate to competition flying, such as using regular rather than cocoon harnesses; and performing manoeuvres that are seldom encountered, while common real problematic situations are not tested. Hence, the current EN-D certification process does not seem entirely relevant for competition class gliders. CIVL believes that a radical review would be required, if EN-D was to be made mandatory for competition gliders.
In Saint-Hilaire, CIVL explained to PMA its views on paragliding competitions and hoped that PMA would agree to work on requirements for both competition paragliders and pilot qualifications. PMA underlined the difficulties to reach a consensus on these requirements, but in the end, agreed that it was the only sufficiently qualified organisation to come up with an acceptable solution.
CIVL is now waiting for PMA proposals. CIVL is likely to agree to drive the process required to review PMA's proposals and ultimately, implement an appropriate solution within CIVL rules.

FORT HOOD — It was a typical Friday night for the Polanco family.
Their two kids were in bed and they had another couple over watching TV in their on-post home Sept. 21 when Christina Polanco heard a "weird screeching sound" from where her 3-year-old son was sleeping upstairs.
"Christian was under the blanket on my bed ... clutching his throat," recalled Polanco. "I screamed for my husband and carried him downstairs."
Her husband, Spc. Louis Polanco, assumed the child had swallowed something in his sleep and was trying to pull it out with his finger. Nothing was there.
"When he went limp ... I didn't know how to react," he said. "I lost it."
Christina Polanco said her instincts told her to hold and beat on the toddler's back to loosen whatever might be blocking his airway.
Meanwhile, Christian's face began to turn blue and he panicked as he tried to gasp for air. At one point he lost consciousness.
Spc. Matt Kutz kept his head clear during the panic of the scared parents and called 911 for his friends.
"I just jumped in and did what I knew to do," he said.
About six months ago, Kutz said he'd taken a combat lifesaver course and the material was still fresh in his mind.
"He had to say, 'I know what to do, let me do it,'" said Christina Polanco.
With guidance from the emergency dispatcher, Kutz was able to lay Christian on his back with the help of his parents, and tilt his chin so that enough air could flow to his lungs.
"That little man's obsessed with me taking him fishing, so I told him if he let me hold him down I would take him fishing," Kutz said.
It took the ambulance about eight minutes to arrive and take Christian to the emergency room, said Christina Polanco. It turns out he had contracted croup, an upper airway respiratory infection, and doctors said had Christina Polanco continued to hold her son, he would have died.
"It hit me that if he had not been there, I would have killed him by not doing the proper things," she said. "I thought maternal instincts were the best in the world, but now I think the Army's training is better than that."
The two soldiers, both part of the 553rd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command, deployed together last year, and both agree that when it is your child in danger, it's not so easy to stay clear-headed.
"A couple months back I gave CPR at a motorcycle accident, but when it was my own son, I was a mess," Louis Polanco said.
"If Lou was in my situation, he would have done the same thing," said Kutz. "I didn't even think anything of it until the next morning when they told me what the doctor said it was. I feel like I helped save my little buddy's life."
The Polancos said they will never know how to say thanks for what Kutz did for their son.
"I tell him 'thank you' every day I see him," said Louis Polanco. "I tell him I would have choked and my son might not be alive. I'm just thankful that he was there."

THE whereabouts of Nida Naseer remain a mystery, almost three months after the teenager disappeared from her Newport home.
The 19-year-old was last seen when she went to put the bins out on December 28 last year.
Since then, despite a series of media appeals and a major police investigation, there has been no sign of Nida.
Today we speak in detail to Nida's father Naseer Tahir about the effect her disappearance has had on his family, who live in the Pill area of the city.
It is a tough time for the family, made worse by baseless rumours and racist comments left on social media and online.
Quite what people hope to achieve by saying such things is beyond us.
Yes, Nida and her family are failed asylum seekers - but that does not make them any less worthy of our help and sympathy at a terribly distressing time.
It is a concern that - three months down the line - this newspaper is still having to make the above points.
Nida Naseer is a teenage girl who has gone missing. All that matters is finding her alive and well.
Her father is convinced someone knows where Nida is and that she may be being prevented from contacting her family.
If that is true, then we hope that someone reads the Argus today and realises how important it is to let Nida's family know she is safe.

Two of the three necessary steps were taken by the St. Clair Planning and Zoning Board on Monday regarding its recommendation that the city annex a parcel of land just west of the city limits.
After delaying its decision a month because board members said they wanted more information and after two public hearings on the matter, the planers unanimously voted to recommend the property, owned by Jerry Landing at 685 W. Gravois Ave., be annexed into the city and be zoned I-2 heavy industrial.
Poor Boyz Recycling, currently doing business on South Main Street near the intersection with East Springfield Road, wants to relocate to the property in question so it can expand. Owners James Woods and Seth Crocker have attended the previous meetings about the annexation.
One of the two public hearings on the issue was conducted prior to Monday's planning and zoning meeting. There was no public comment given after the hearing was forced to start 30 minutes later than scheduled because two planning board members failed to show up to produce a quorum.
Travis Dierker, who also serves as a Ward 2 alderman, and Tim Hamilton failed to appear or give Chairman Myrna Turner a head's up, forcing Mayor Ron Blum to be called in to sit on the board. His attendance made the quorum needed.
Doug Komo also was not present, but he had alerted fellow board members ahead of time. With a seven-member board, four individuals besides the chairman must be present to produce the quorum. Ken Scott, Terry Gasaway, Euvalda Young and Turner were in attendance, and when Blum arrived, business could be conducted.
Under city law, the mayor may sit in as a member of any board.
"We did have a public meeting during the last aldermen meeting, and some good comments were given," Blum said when the annexation was brought up during regular business. "There were requests that the property be screened. I have driven past the location. I think screening it would be proper."
According to information provided during the March planning and zoning meeting, the intent, if the land is annexed, would be to sell or lease the property to Poor Boyz Recycling so it can move its business to that location.
From there, if the I-2 zoning also is approved, a conditional use permit would be needed before operations could begin.
Woods and Crocker said they want to relocate because they need additional space to operate their business.
City Attorney Kurt Voss said the process involved three steps, two of which are the annexation and the zoning change. City Inspector Jeremy Crowe originally had said if unchanged, the property would come into the city zoned agricultural.
The third step will be to issue a conditional use permit. That could come next month.
The city's board of aldermen plan to discuss and possibly approve the annexation and zoning when it meets on Monday in city hall.
One of the concerns about the annexation has been the lack of water and sewer near the site. Crowe said the nearest lines to the parcel were about 3,000 feet away. Planners, St. Clair's board of aldermen and Voss all agreed that a stipulation would have to be added to the annexation, if approved, that the city would not provide services to the property.
During their March meeting, Voss urged the planners to make sure it is known that the city would provide no city services if annexed. He said that is legal with a voluntary annexation.
During the public hearing before the aldermen's March 18 meeting, Woods and Crocker said they were fine with that.
Aldermen also had concerns about additional heavy traffic on both Gravois Avenue and West Springfield Road, which recently has been reworked and repaved.
The fencing, or screening issue came about during the same March 18 public hearing when James Ealer and Steve Dickey said they own nearby property. Both were concerned about the future appearance of the site if the recycling center would move there.
"I have no problem with this if they put up a presentable fence," Ealer said.
"I'm not fundamentally opposed to this, but I'd rather not see it there," Dickey said. "I would ask the council to put some good, common-sense restrictions on this to do it right.
"If they're going to screen it, they should screen it all," Dickey said of a sight-proof fence. "I think that would be in the best interests of everyone."
Woods and Crocker said they thought a portion of the property should be fenced, but they requested they not have to enclose the entire 3-acre parcel.
The annexation and zoning recommendations will go to the aldermen for approval. The property is located next to the St. Clair Motel.

The Wailers & Duane Stephenson Tour Starts this Week!
The Wailers, the world's most celebrated reggae group in the world, are getting back to their roots with their new 3-singer line-up when they embark on their 2011 U.S. Tour. The new line-up includes Yvad, Koolant and Danglin as well as original member and the band's musical director Aston "Familyman" Barrett. The band will be using the tour to bring attention to their new single "A Step For Mankind" which was written by Duane Stephenson specifically for the World Food Programme. They will be donating unused funds from the band's hospitality riders directly to the United Nations' World Food Program to help stop world hunger.
"A Step for Mankind," recorded in Jamaica specifically for Oniric Records' Solution for Dreamers: Season 3 is the band's first studio song in more than 16 years. The band have been supporting the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) efforts to eradicate hunger throughout the world. The new song calls for world unity and strength to support the ongoing struggle against world hunger. The band is joined on the track by the Wailers' new singer Koolant,a fresh talent from the heart of St. Thomas known for blazing a positive future for reggae music with his work. The track also introduces Dr Dre protégé Bishop Lamont, an up-and-coming rapper, who contributes a magical flow in the track's breakdown. Graced by the Wailers' undeniably distinctive groove, "A Step for Mankind" is a small taste of more music forthcoming from the legendary group.
Formed in Jamaica in the late 1960s, The Wailers are one of the most successful reggae bands of all time, selling 250 million albums, and playing live to an estimated 24 million people worldwide. Wailers' bass player Aston "Familyman" Barrett is recognized throughout the world as the architect of reggae. A revered innovator, he joined The Wailers in 1969, quickly becoming singer-songwriter Bob Marley's right-hand man and musical director. On record and on stage, his inimitable style became an essential part of the Wailers' sound. Following Marley's death in 1981, "Fams" took the reins as the band's leader, spearheading performances to adoring crowds the world over, as well as the band's involvement with the fight against global hunger.
Duane Stephenson recognized one of reggae's most talented sons, is promoting the release of his latest album, "Black Gold", and is joining the tour as special guest. This is Stephenson's sophomore album, following the top-selling "August Town". He is also the writer behind "A Step for Mankind" which he will be performing on tour with the Wailers at each performance. His new 15-track studio album with 14 original songs and is riding high in the charts sees Stephenson working with legendary reggae producer, Dean Fraser, the mastermind behind the majority of production on Black Gold.
Black Gold encompasses Stephenson's growth mentally, emotionally, and musically. From ballads to roots reggae, his musical skills and heartfelt sentiments on this album will resonate with reggae fans and be sure to gain him new ones. Such is the quality of Black Gold , Steve 'Flash' Juon of Rapreviews.com raves that "...so powerful is his vocal tone and the diaphragm which pushes it out over the microphone that almost every word will make perfect sense to even the most jaded listener who thinks they can't understand Caribbean music..."
"For more than forty years, The Wailers have been about spreading a positive message to our audiences," says Fams. "With the World Food Programme' campaign, we want to get the word out beyond the audience – so even if these people can't feel it musically, they can feel it spiritually.

Shields and Brooks Assess Spy Swap, Midterm Political Maneuvering
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: And to the analysis of Shields and Brooks, syndicated columnist Mark Shields, New York Times columnist David Brooks.
David, was the spy swap thing with the Russians a good deal for America?
DAVID BROOKS: I think so.
You know, after all the things that have been messed up, we rounded up this group. They may not have been the most competent Keystone Cops on Earth, but they — we rounded them up, and had a little problem with the Russian relations, but that seems to have been smoothed over. We got them back, got some people in exchange.
So, I thought, on the whole, it was handled well from start to finish.
JIM LEHRER: Handled well from start to finish, Mark?
MARK SHIELDS: From everything I do know about it, Jim, certainly, I think it was. I think, in a straight player swap, we got a better deal than the Russians did. We got four significant figures, at least one of whom denies he has ever been a spy, but three major players.
And I think everything we were going to find out about these folks, we have known, the folks here. They have been watching them for 10 years. We know who they talked to. We know where they went. And I think it disrupts any sleeper spy operation that they have put together. Now they know that they are on alert, on watch, and under the glare.
JIM LEHRER: But what would you say to the lay folks who say, hey, wait a minute, we spent 10 years and thousands of dollars following these 10 spies, and then we catch them, and we turn them loose?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, what's the purpose of keeping them? I mean, if they have things, further things to tell us, then there is a purpose for national security reasons to keep them.
But the decision was made, probably correctly, that they had nothing more to tell us. As Mark said, we had been watching them for 10 years. And, meanwhile, to be able to get these four other people back or at least to get them released, that does serve our national interests, because either they were helping us or they were heroic figures. And so you will encourage more people to be like that.
MARK SHIELDS: And it's 60 grand a year for each of them, OK? And you want them to be on scholarship here? You know, let them live in Russia, under the enlightened…
JIM LEHRER: Under their scholarship.
MARK SHIELDS: … under the enlightened leadership of Mr. Putin.
DAVID BROOKS: They're not going to have fun when they go back to Russia.
MARK SHIELDS: That's right.
JIM LEHRER: Oh, boy, that's for sure. That's for sure.
Mark, President Obama, in Nevada and Missouri the last couple of days, big political stuff, reports today he's — he's turned up the rhetoric a little bit, the political rhetoric. How is he doing?
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I think the era of the new tone in Washington is over.
Democrats, who are frustrated, nervous and scared stiff about November are thrilled with the new president. This is the…
JIM LEHRER: They want him to do it.
MARK SHIELDS: They want him to generate enthusiasm, intensity and passion in the ranks.
There is no question that he has been faulted in the past, sometimes on this broadcast even, for his cool and cerebral approach to things, including the BP oil spill. No one is accusing him this week of being overly cerebral and cool. He has heated up.
And the problem is, Jim, that Democrats are — lack enthusiasm about November 2 and voting. And if real estate is location, location, location, especially midterm elections are turnout, turnout, turnout. And the enthusiasm seems to be — is by every measurement on the Republican, conservative side right now, throwing the ins out.
JIM LEHRER: Well, David, would you agree that the lack of enthusiasm among Democrats is tied directly to President Obama's popularity right now?
DAVID BROOKS: Well, no, I don't think so.
JIM LEHRER: No?
DAVID BROOKS: I think the independents are the big problem. Obama won the independents. And his ratings among independents have dropped I think by 18 percentage points in the past year. And so that has been the shift.
And if you ask independents do you think the Democratic Party is too liberal, the number of people who say yes has gone up by roughly 20 percentage points. So, I think that has been the shift. It is not the Tea Partiers. They have always been against him. It is those independents.
And so Obama is coming out fighting to try to get Democrats. I'm not sure it will help with independents. And, secondly, what has happened…
JIM LEHRER: Why not? Excuse me. Why not?
DAVID BROOKS: Because I don't think that sort of partisan tone, the tough talk, is really what appeals to independents. I think what they liked about President Obama was exactly the promise to change the tone, was exactly the sense that he was above some of the politics that we have gotten used to.
And so I think they will be a little uncomfortable with that.
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
But, Mark, is it still true that, as long as the economy remains in a difficult situation, the Democrats or whoever is in charge is going to be in a difficult situation? Does that overlay all of this?
MARK SHIELDS: It is, Jim. That is obviously the atmosphere, the optics and reality of the campaign.
But part of it is that Democrats really feel that Republicans have gotten just a free ride, that they haven't been held accountable for opposing and trying to thwart everything that the Obama administration has tried to do, whether on the economy or reform of Wall Street, that just they have been — their approach has been one of an all-out opposition.
And the idea of calling them to task for that, and what President Obama has to do — if it is, as you describe it, just a referendum on the Democrats and the party in power, the Democrats are going to be punished.
JIM LEHRER: Because of the economy.
MARK SHIELDS: Because of the economy and because of the way things are going.
So, the attempt is to say, look, it isn't simply us you are voting on. It is the other guys, what they stood for in the past, what they stand for now. So, we're trying to force voters to make this a choice, not just simply, I don't like the people who are there, and I'm going to throw them out.
JIM LEHRER: David, what is your reading of the traction that is possible to have if Obama and the Democrats can play this right, or better, on this no thing? The Republicans all say no. Just pick up on what Mark just said.
DAVID BROOKS: Well, President Bush tried it. Good luck. I don't — I just don't think it will work.
JIM LEHRER: Doesn't work?
DAVID BROOKS: I think people are voting on the power party in power. And I think they are voting on what has happened.
There has actually been a fair bit of legislation passed. I have talked to a bunch of people, Democrats running for office. And one of the things I have heard a couple times is that the health care doesn't come up all that much. Whether you like it or not, it's just not a big issue out there, that the big issue is jobs and the economy and the debt, and those are the big issues.
And I think one of the things that has happened over the last month is that, if you had asked people a month ago, is the economy recovering, they would have said yes. If you ask people today, they do not say yes. There has been a significant erosion of the mood. There's a special erosion among the business community.
Now, the Republican business community was always against Obama. But I would say Democratic CEOs and Democratic donors are now very disillusioned with the president, fairly or not.
But the mood in the business community is very hostile. And that mood does trickle down. I spoke to one Democratic candidate who said, we didn't have to offend the business community this way, even though I'm not running with a bunch of CEOs voting for me. But I'm working for people who work for corporations. And that is a negative.
JIM LEHRER: Mark, is the deficit issue that the Republicans are raising and that everybody is raising in some form or another, is that beginning to also — to hurt Democrats as well? In other words, are some of the Democrats also going to have to go on that, pick up that theme as well?
MARK SHIELDS: Some Democrats are obviously nervous about the deficit, Jim. And the argument is that the economy remains the central, dominant, defining problem and issue, human problem in this campaign.
And it appears that the government is limited in what it can do about the economy and joblessness. But they can do something about the deficit. And the deficit appears to bother independents more than it bothers Democratic voters.
JIM LEHRER: You agree with…
JIM LEHRER: Yes. Yes.
MARK SHIELDS: You are not going to pick up Republicans on the issue. But it is a real dilemma you're in, because, if you're trying to do something about jobs, and a jobs program, say infrastructure, where, I mean, we have got thousands of bridges in this country that it affected that could be repaired, well that's going to run up the deficit.
JIM LEHRER: The deficit.
MARK SHIELDS: They try and do something about the deficit, does that cut back the spending, I mean, for example, on unemployment benefits, which become held hostage to sort of the deficit fever? So, it's a — they really do play against each other, as well, politically.
JIM LEHRER: You agree with that?
DAVID BROOKS: Yes.
Well, one of the things that really strikes me, just not on the substance of the stimulus, but on the politics of it…
JIM LEHRER: Sure. Sure.
DAVID BROOKS: … the New York Times/CBS poll asked people, do you think the stimulus package, $787 billion, created jobs? Well, 6 percent say yes. Now, frankly, that's absurd.
JIM LEHRER: Six percent?
DAVID BROOKS: You say — you say — it had to have created jobs. Whether you think it was worth it or not, that is different. But that number is a sign that people don't believe in the policies, and they have a sense of fatalism, that nothing can be done or nothing is being done.
And it's that — it is the cynicism, frankly, because I'm not a fan of the stimulus package, but it created jobs. There's no question about it.
JIM LEHRER: Sure. Sure.
New subject. The decision to sue the state of Arizona about the immigration law, is that a good thing to do?
DAVID BROOKS: I don't think so, and especially the way they have done it.
I understand, politically, why you want to do it. You want to get your voters energized. You also want to prevent other states from doing this. But, to me, to read what the basis for the case, it seems to me extremely weak. I think the states should have the power to choose how they are going to enforce laws.
And to say that this sort of is trampling on federal authority just to me is completely unpersuasive. I think they would have had a better case if they had said this is racial profiling. But that is not the way they decided to do it. And there could be technical reasons they decided to do it or political. They didn't want to make it a racial thing.
JIM LEHRER: How do you read it?
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I read it this way, Jim, that, for 2010, it's going to be a very difficult issue for Democrats. I mean, it's — especially Democrats in the West, where the issue is most acute.
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
MARK SHIELDS: I think, for 2012 and beyond, Republicans are playing very much the short end of the field. The Republican Party is in danger, on the cusp of being branded, almost permanently, as an anti-immigrant party and a party that is unwelcoming, quite contrary to the record that George W. Bush proudly proclaimed when he was governor of Texas and his years in the White House.
And the demographic bubble that is out there, I mean, the…
JIM LEHRER: The Latino — growing Latino vote.
MARK SHIELDS: I mean, Peter Hart has predicted — the Democratic pollster of The Wall Street Journal — that Texas will be a blue state within a generation because of the Latino growth.
And Republicans have to figure out a way, as the electorate becomes less white and more — much of the mosaic racially and ethnically, they have got to figure out a way of appealing to these voters.
JIM LEHRER: Sure.
MARK SHIELDS: They can't get elected as a white party.
DAVID BROOKS: Yes, I completely agree. You cannot — in 10 years, if the Republican Party is the same way, you will not be able to run a national campaign as a Republican.
JIM LEHRER: Quickly to the West — West Virginia. How do you feel West Virginia is handling replacing the late Senator Byrd?
MARK SHIELDS: Well, the governor, who is really in the driver's seat, Joe Manchin…
JIM LEHRER: Joe Manchin, yes.
MARK SHIELDS: … is interesting.
Jim, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution allowed direct elections of United States senators. It was ratified in 1913. Since that time, nine different occasions, a governor has had the brilliant idea, when a Senate vacancy occurred in his state, to say, all right, to the lieutenant governor or his successor, I am going to resign. And, as soon as I resign, you appoint me.
JIM LEHRER: You pick me.
MARK SHIELDS: You pick me.
JIM LEHRER: You pick me.
MARK SHIELDS: Eight of the nine have then lost in the next election. OK?
Joe Manchin was urged do this by both the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and the West Virginia AFL-CIO. And Joe Manchin said, no thank you.
JIM LEHRER: He would just as soon be…
MARK SHIELDS: Let's have a real election. And the 2nd of November is when he apparently wants it, which would be the regular date, which puts Shelley Moore Capito, the Republican stalwart, in a difficult position, because she has to decide then, does she run for reelection to the House or does she run for the Senate?
Manchin is in the middle of his term, so he doesn't have to give up the governorship to run. So, it's kind of interesting.
DAVID BROOKS: It makes it hard for the Republicans. And if you were thinking how's it going to affect the balance of the Senate, it makes it better for the Republicans.
JIM LEHRER: How do you — where do you come down on the LeBron James decision?
DAVID BROOKS: I think he betrayed the people of Cleveland by not going the New York Knicks.
JIM LEHRER: Mark?
MARK SHIELDS: I — I really — I thought LeBron James had been an exceptional public figure, had been deft and sure-footed on almost everything he had done.
I thought this was a total deviation, not — in the whole way it was handled. And I feel badly for Cleveland. I mean, remember this. Cleveland had the two pitchers, Cliff Lee and C.C. Sabathia…
JIM LEHRER: … no matter what.
MARK SHIELDS: … who started in the World Series for the Phillies and Yankees.
And now Cliff Lee is about to go to the Yankees. I mean, everything good in Cleveland has left. And he was the local boy and a hometown pride. And I just feel bad.
DAVID BROOKS: I would like to apologize to the people who are still living in Cleveland. I'm sure they're probably…
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
MARK SHIELDS: No, I just — I feel bad.
JIM LEHRER: I just wish we had more time to talk about…
MARK SHIELDS: How do you feel about LeBron?
JIM LEHRER: Thank you so much for asking.
JIM LEHRER: Bye-bye.

Sydney Olympic shrugged off their home-ground woes to keep their finals hopes on life support after a 1-0 win over Northern Spirit yesterday.
A lone penalty goal to striker Michael Baird in the 47th minute was enough to secure the home side three points at OKI Jubilee Stadium, a far from happy hunting ground for last season's grand finalists.
Little seemed on for Olympic when second-half replacement Zenon Caravella went for a run just inside the 18-yard box. But a push in the back from rookie Spirit defender Mark Milligan turned it into the defining moment of the day as referee Mark Shield pointed to the spot.
Baird duly converted, giving Olympic just their second win in nine games at Kogarah - their tenth home ground in 26 years of the NSL.
Spirit had a chance to force a draw in the 87th minute but a crunching strike from 10 metres by Stewart Petrie went high, summing up the visitors' day of clumsy finishing and poor support play.
It said much of Olympic's desperation to grab a rare win that keeper Brett Hughes and midfielder Iain Fyfe were both yellow carded in the second half for time wasting.
The home side had much of the running in the first half but reaped no return for its efforts.
Jim Bakis should have scored after 17 minutes following excellent lead-up work by midfielder Troy Halpin but the striker's shot from six metres was well saved by Spirit keeper Paul Henderson.
Spirit had looked their most dangerous when Dylan MacAllister had the ball at his feet but the towering striker was too often in a club of one when it came to players pushing forward for the visitors. Coach Lawrie McKinna said MacAllister had taken a virus into the match and was reluctantly replaced after 70 minutes.
But McKinna conceded the overall effort was not up to scratch given the embattled club was closing in on a new deal that it expected would give it a berth in Australia's new national soccer competition slated for 2004.
"The body language was shocking as the game went on," he said. "I can't explain what happened today because things had been so positive at the club."
Olympic was best served by the tireless Fyfe while veteran Pablo Cardozo may have earned a recall against Sydney United next week after a strong showing - including a wonderful 20m-strike that hit the cross bar - when he came on midway through the second half.
In last night's other games Parramatta Power beat Auckland Kingz 2-1 and Marconi beat Newcastle 1-0.
On Saturday, Wollongong kept up their remarkable season turnaround with a last-gasp 3-2 away win over top-of-the-table South Melbourne as Nigerian striker Chimaobi Nwagazi kept up his scoring streak. Wollongong's unbeaten streak now stands at seven games, with Nwagazi now scoring in six straight.
Wollongong took the lead after 11 minutes, with Nahuel Arrarte curling home a precise free-kick past the wall from the edge of the penalty area, leaving South keeper Eugene Galekovic flat-footed.
South captain Vaughan Coveny had the ball in the net twice within the next 10 minutes, but neither registered on the scoreboard.
Firstly he bundled a free-kick into the net with his hand to earn a yellow card, then put home a penalty - after a Wollongong handball that was ruled out for encroachment. The retake was saved.
Con Boutsianis spurned three very gettable chances within 10 minutes of the restart but he made amends by scoring the equaliser in the 67th minute.
A long cross was floated into the area by Sam Poutakidis, headed back across goal where Boutsianis nodded home from close range.
Wollongong went back in front in the 76th minute when an Arrarte corner was allowed to float through to Nwagazi near the penalty spot, where he rocketed a half-volley home.
The home side drew level again just four minutes later as Coveny belatedly and deservedly got his name on the scoresheet by heading home a Boutsianis cross.
But it was Wolves who snatched the dramatic winner.
Young Socceroo Dustin Wells broke from defence and played a through ball to Tanju Balabanel, whose shot on the turn deflected off a South defender and agonisingly rolled past wrong-footed keeper Galekovic into the net.
Also on Saturday, reigning NSL champions Perth Glory reminded their fans exactly what they had been missing, christening their revamped stadium with a stunning 6-1 win over the Brisbane Strikers.
The heavy defeat was Brisbane's first setback since mid-November.

Destroying Consent
Then there's what big business, mainly Big Pharma, has done to something that may very well be a positive innovation in health care. Mercury is toxic. No amount of mercury is safe. So, If the industry is using mercury in vaccines (included in thimerosol, if I'm spelling that right), then that's a problem. Also, I've listened to Robert Kennedy and Robert De Niro and Dr Wakefield. What they say is worth thinking about. We all 'know' how mafia capitalists operate. Continue reading

What it means for Jason Hatcher and Cowboys after DT joins Washington
A career season with the Cowboys gave Jason Hatcher the opportunity to cash in with one of their division rivals. The veteran defensive tackle and the Washington Redskins agreed to a four-year, $27 million contract on Thursday.
"Want to thank God, my family, Jerry Jones and Cowboy nation for all the great memories in Dallas," Hatcher announced on Twitter on Thursday. "It's time for me and my family to move on."
Hatcher's defection stings a Dallas team that cut ties with DeMarcus Ware on Tuesday and watched him land with the Denver Broncos 24 hours later.
Like Ware, the 31-year old Hatcher was productive on the field and a leader in the locker room.
But the Cowboys were never had much of a chance to re-sign Hatcher, who played in his first Pro Bowl in January after collecting 11 sacks, the highest total on the team in 2013. As of Thursday afternoon, Dallas had only $7.24 million in available cap space, according to an NFL Players Association report.
Retaining him would have been a slim possibility because he was coveted once becoming a free agent on Tuesday.
Hatcher visited Seattle and Oakland this week and was scheduled to meet with Tennessee before the Redskins snatched him. Hatcher was seeking his first major contract since he was drafted by the Cowboys in the third round in 2006. In 2011, after being used as a reserve his first five seasons in the league, Hatcher finalized a three-year, $6 million contract. He was re-signed soon after former Cowboys defensive end Stephen Bowen and the Redskins agreed on a five-year, $27.5 million deal.
At such a low price, Hatcher proved to be a bargain especially after the Cowboys changed defensive schemes last off-season. Hatcher, who never collected more than 4 ½ sacks as a 3-4 defensive end, became a dynamic pass rusher in Dallas' new 4-3 system. Playing the three-technique, he accounted for 26 ½ quarterback knockdowns and hurries. Only three defensive tackles had more.
Yet with the Redskins Hatcher is going back to playing in a 3-4 defense under coordinator Jim Haslett, who was retained by new coach Jay Gruden after Mike Shanahan was fired.
In Washington, Hatcher could be eventually be reunited with Cowboys free agent defensive end Anthony Spencer, who visited the Redskins on Thursday.
If Spencer joins up with Washington, the Cowboys will absorb another blow during a week when their defensive line has been hit hard.

New York, New York
Rarely am I a spectator at races. When I'm not running, I'm usually volunteering. Most of the occasions where I began as a spectator, at some point I switched over to pacer/support crew, running a few miles with a friend.
But this weekend I wanted to stand on the sidewalk, cheer and take pictures. Specifically, I wanted to go and watch the New York City Marathon. Maybe it was because I bypassed a fall marathon myself this year, or maybe it was to support my regular morning training partner, Laura as she took on her 2nd marathon in 4 weeks. Maybe it was because NYC is a major marathon and I needed to see it go off successfully before I was fully ready to run Boston next spring. Whatever the reason, I just knew I wanted to be there this weekend.
The race itself didn't disappoint. I watched from just before mile 18 on 1st Ave. We picked the spot mostly because it was convenient to meet other friends afterwards in that neighborhood, but it was also where I started to collapse the year I ran the New York City Marathon, so I was hoping I could help out those runners who might have unfortunately landed in that boat this year.
As expected, the best part of being on the sidelines was, cheering for those I went to see, but equally enjoyable was seeing others cheering for their runners. Next to me, 4 girls with self-made posters waited for their dad, who came over to kiss each of them, and his wife, and grabbed a few Tylenol before hitting the road again. "Maria" had an entire fan club on both my left and right cheering for her when she arrived. Running around a 4:30 pace, she looked so happy and proud. She stopped to hug a woman who appeared to be her grandmother and blew kisses at everyone else before jumping back into the sea of runners where I saw on her back she was running "For Pop".
A record 50,740 started the race this year. Finding runners in a race this large is no easy task. I'm glad I was able to see a few folks, including Laura, but definitely missed others. Watching the race reminded me why it's important to dress in colors that stand out and to tell my family and friends what I will be wearing. A few walkers, hobblers and shufflers reminded me why I do not wear my name on my shirt. I did not tell any of them, they were "almost there" or that they "had this" since I know I wouldn't have wanted to hear it if that were me.
The 2012 marathon was cancelled as a result of Superstorm Sandy and I was a bit surprised not to hear or see more about that during the race. I did however see a lot of BostonStrong on the course, and my boyfriend, wearing his Patriot's jersey, got cheers from at least 3 runners.
I didn't make it to Central Park to see the finishers where Geoffrey Mutai defended his title from 2011 and Priscah Jeptoo won for the women. But, as amazing as those elite athletes are to watch, I was kind of glad I spent most of my time cheering for those who trained for months and were only seeking to beat the goals they set for themselves.
Watching the New York City Marathon this weekend provided bit of inspiration, a bit of envy and a reminder of what I can expect less than 6 months from now when I run my next marathon.
