The Bucs claimed TE Zack Pianalto and signed eight to their practice squad as the team continues to finalize its 53-man roster in preparation for their season opener Sunday when Tampa Bay hosts the Detroit Lions. The Bucs cut DE George Johnson and CB D.J. Johnson to make room for Pianalto and LB Zac Diles.
The Buccaneers announced the signing of eight players to the team's practice squad on Monday. Tampa Bay signed offensive tackle Will Barker, free safety Ahmad Black, quarterback Rudy Carpenter, tight end Collin Franklin, wide receiver Ed Gant, tight end Daniel Hardy, running back Mossis Madu and linebacker Derrell Smith to the practice squad.
All eight practice squad players were released by the Bucs. Black was Tampa Bay's fifth-round pick and Hardy was the Bucs' seventh-round pick in 2011.
The Bucs also announced that the team claimed tight end Zack Pianalto off waivers from Buffalo, who released the North Carolina product on Saturday as part of the team's roster cut downs.
Pianalto had 94 catches for 918 yards and three touchdowns in 34 games at North Carolina. He was the nation's second-leading tight end in receiving six games into the college football season this past year. He had 30 receptions for 311 yards and one score before a broken leg ended his season. It was the second broken leg of his collegiate career to go along with a dislocated foot.
The Bucs liked the 6-foot-3, 250-pounder prior to the draft, as reported by Charlie Campbell in his PI Quick Hits on April 10, but opted to spend a seventh-round pick on Hardy, who didn't have the injury history in college that Pianalto did. Tampa Bay isn't as concerned about broken bones compared to torn ligaments when accessing a player with an injury concern. Pianalto's skill set as both a blocker and a receiver is what interests Tampa Bay.
The team also announced the signing of LB Zac Diles to a 2-year deal. Diles was drafted by Houston in 2007 and was signed by St. Louis in 2010 before being released this preseason. Diles played for head coach Raheem Morris at Kansas State in 2006.
In Houston, Diles played in 50 career games with 33 starts. He has amassed 209 career tackles, one sack, one interception, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He has also added 20 special teams stops in his four-year career. Diles had his best season in 2010, playing in 15 games with 11 starts and finishing third on the team with a career-high 81 tackles.
Tampa Bay released defensive end George Johnson and cornerback D.J. Johnson to make room for Diles and Pianalto.

In an economist's terms, we're creating an Education bubble by inflating the price far beyond the value of the good or service delivered. Generally bubbles pop when we all suddenly realize how over-valued the thing is, and then it's price tanks. For example, when the housing bubble popped, the house prices collapsed. But what happens when an Eduation bubble pops? With the entire apparatus propped up by government money, prices probably won't collapse. Will it have to reach a critical mass where we get political upheaval, a la Tunisia and Egypt, where the masses of over-educated unemployed took to the streets?
>>But what happens when an Eduation bubble pops?
People finally lern to spill.
Whoops. I guess I should have taken a few more of those "soft courses" and lernt to proof read.
It would help if people didn't think of education as a way to make money. That would solve three problems. First, students would only take serious subjects. Second, we wouldn't have unserious students. And third, our graduates wouldn't be unhappy taking jobs as plumbers after college because they wouldn't have been going to college for the money anyway, and they wouldn't feel that a BA entitles them to a high-paying job.

A Little More Clarity From Gore
by Chris Bowers, Wed May 16, 2007 at 07:02:46 PM EDT
When I asked Gore why he hasn't dismissed all the speculation by issuing a Shermanesque refusal to stand, as he did in 2002, Gore said, "Having spent 30 years as part of the political dialogue, I don't know why a 600-day campaign is taken as a given, and why people who aren't in it 600 days out for the convenience of whatever brokers want to close the door and narrow the field and say, `This is it, now let's place your bets' -- If they want to do that, fine. I don't have to play that game."(...)Gore clearly has not entirely ruled out running for President again, including a potential 2008 run. At the same time, he has repeatedly made it clear that it is extremely unlikely that he would run in 2008.
"I'm not issuing a Shermanesque statement because that's not where I am. I'm not ruling it out for all time. Although I cannot presently foresee any circumstances, such circumstances could emerge."(...)
"It's [2008] extremely unlikely, but not impossible.
I've heard varying rumors on what could cause Gore to run. The most interesting one I heard was that he would only run if, later in the year, it looked like no one else had any chance to defeat Clinton. I've also heard that the door might have opened a little wider in the last month or so, corresponding perhaps to Obama's slight fade at the end of March. I have no word on whether that changed during the final two weeks of April,
My basic feeling is that Gore won't run unless both Clinton and Obama noticeably stumble, and he could thus enter the campaign in first place. It would also have to happen in the next three or four months, at the most, for there to be any chance he runs. I just can't see him announcing more than a week or two after Labor Day, or if he wouldn't start with both a national poll lead as well as a lead in either Iowa or New Hampshire. Wait to see where the campaign stands in about two months, after the July concerts and Q2 fundraising numbers are released. If there is an opening for him at that point, his odds of running might increase from about 0.1-0.2% to more like 5%.
But, no matter what happens, Gore's entry seems extremely, extremely unlikely.

Office: 1117
Emeritus Professor of Law
A.B. 1965, Brown University
J.D. 1968, Georgetown University
Member of the District of Columbia and New Mexico Bars
Michael Browde, a 1968 Graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, came to the law faculty in 1977 after having served as law clerk to the Honorable Luther W. Youngdahl, of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, followed by a seven year stint with the Legal Aid Society of Albuquerque.
Browde teaches primarily in the area of Constitutional law. He is a mainstay in the basic Introductory Constitutional Law course, and also teaches State Constitutional Law and Comparative Constitutional Law as well as a Seminar on Supreme Court Decisionmaking. Browde also teaches Advocacy, Legal Reasoning, Research and Writing, Administrative Law, Civil Procedure, Federal Jurisdiction, Professional Responsibility and Appellate Practice. He also serves as faculty adviser to the New Mexico Law Review.
Browde has written widely on a number of areas of New Mexico law, and has been an active consultant to the Legislative Council Service on constitutional matters and governmental ethics. In that regard he has served as legal counsel to a number of legislative committees and task forces, including service as legal counsel to the New Mexico's Constitutional Revision Commission which conducted a thoroughgoing two-year study leading to a December, 1995 Report on the need for state constitutional reform. Browde has also served as special counsel to the legislature on redistricting matters during the last three decennials.
Browde is an active participant in appellate Amicus Curiae work on behalf of the New Mexico Trial Lawyer's Association, the ACLU, the League of Women Voters, and others, authoring countless amicus briefs on a range of issues involving the development of New Mexico law. In 2002, the staff at the law review recognized Browde's flair for legal writing by presenting him with its annual Excellence in Jurisprudence and Legal Writing Award. He shared the award with Professor Ted Occhialino, with whom Browde often teams in the writing of articles and appellate briefs. Both Browde and Occhialino seek to engage interested students in the academic, governmental and amicus projects which they undertake.

Day 4: Earth Week Challenge -- Paperless Thursday
From April 16-22, HuffPost Green invites you to take on one simple endeavor per day to reduce your impact on the planet. We can't extend a challenge without attempting it ourselves, so our team will tackle each goal as well and share with you the highs and lows of our experience.
CHALLENGE: Cut Paper Waste. Reduce your use of paper, adjust your printer settings and cancel junk mail subscriptions.
For today's challenge, we're encouraging our readers to reduce their paper use in a number of ways. One easy way to cut down on paper is to print less. Whether at the home or office, think twice before printing and decide if you really need a hard copy. Instead of faxing something, try scanning and emailing it.
Another way you can help to cut down on paper waste is to cancel your junk mail. CBS News offers several strategies for stopping junk mail, including visiting the sites CatalogChoice.org and DMAchoice.org.
HuffPost blogger James M. Lynch tracked his paper use over an entire day, and he wrote, "I do think that we could be a bit more mindful as a nation and reduce, even if it was just a little, the paper trail we leave each day."
When you do have to use paper, recycle what you can and look for recycled paper products with high post-consumer content. Jennifer Grayson notes that recycled toilet paper may contain trace amounts of BPA, but it is still better than the alternative. She writes, "From both an environmental and health perspective, the far graver danger is the millions of acres of forest, including old growth forest (our greatest defense against global warming) being destroyed so that we can wipe ourselves with ridges."
Today, our Green team took on the challenge of reducing paper use and waste:
Sasha: I'm already fairly paper-free. I've canceled my junk mail subscriptions, I pay my bills online and I e-filed my taxes this week. At work, the days when journalists ripped pages out of their typewriters and handed them off to an assistant who would run it down to the printer are long gone. Still, I can't quite give up paper entirely. I love making to-do lists, as the dwindling stack of Post-It notes on my desk attests. Crossing off each item one by one is satisfying in a way that hitting "delete" on a keyboard just isn't. I also take notes in a journal and print out drafts of long feature stories so I can scribble notes, cross lines out and draw arrows to indicate how sections should be reordered. Google Docs works great for a lot of article editing, but sometimes it doesn't cut it for me. But I do feel a pang of guilt every time I hit "print."
Joanna: Sometimes I jot down notes on little scraps of paper which I subsequently lose, so instead today I jotted down notes on my hand. It took a while to find something other than a Sharpie. (This is not recommended, just a personal choice). I also spent an afternoon a few months back calling up every catalogue I didn't recognize and canceling my subscriptions, reducing the amount of junk mail I receive.
James: Today, I focused on being conscious of my paper usage. Just like yesterday, I avoided drinking from any paper coffee cups. I also decided to email an old friend instead of writing a letter, and I probably won't renew a magazine subscription that's almost expired.
Jessica: Since we mostly work online in the office, I didn't think today's eco-challenge would be too hard. So instead of just not printing, I'm going to go full disclosure here and admit I went without my morning tabloid paper that I so guiltily adore. I also normally write to-do lists and little notes to myself on Post-Its, so today I just wrote them on my computer notepad instead. At least changing up my organizational routine was more difficult than going without my train-ride gossip column!
Becca: One way I think people waste paper without even thinking about it is paper towels and napkins. The other day I bought some cute "fancy" napkins from Anthropologie -- the reusable cloth ones that most people use for special occasion dinners. I can use them a few times before they get dirty, and then I'll throw them in with the rest of my dirty laundry. It saves paper towels, and they're so adorable that I never mind pulling them out. I'm pretty pleased with my stylish little green investment!
How did you do with this #EcoChallenge? Tweet us your experience and check out tweets about our other eco challenges from participants below. Scroll down for photos of our team taking on today's goals and a list of challenges for the rest of the week:
Joanna, Jess and James convince Catherine that printing her document isn't such a good idea:
Challenges for the rest of the week:
Friday: (Reusable) Bag Lunch. Bring your own lunch in reusable containers or bring the containers to your favorite take-out restaurant and pass on the plastic utensils, excess paper napkins and bags.
Saturday: Second-Hand Clothes And Products. Instead of purchasing new items, reuse and upcycle old items.
Sunday: Waste Less Water. Take shorter showers, turn the faucet off while brushing teeth, do only full loads of dishes and laundry.

GALVESTON, Texas—An illegal immigrant who was paralyzed in an accident says officials at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston are pressuring him to go back to Mexico.
Francisco Martinez is a Mexican immigrant laborer who is in the United States illegally and now needs constant, expensive medical care.
KHOU 11 News spoke with Martinez Tuesday outside UTMB's John Sealy Hospital. He was accompanied by his 7-month-old son and his common-law wife, Brandi Cullen Valderram.
Martinez has been at UTMB ever since a workplace accident three months ago left him paralyzed from the chest down.
"There was no insurance. And since we've been here they've been telling us that there's no other option except for him to go to Mexico. They've been trying to push, push, push, push, push," said Cullen Valderram.
She said the hospital even offered a free flight to Mexico. But, speaking through an interpreter, Martinez said he doesn't want to go.
"What I want to do is only walk," he said.
UTMB wouldn't comment on camera, but in a written statement a spokesman said:
"Under state and federal laws we are obligated to provide emergency treatment without regard to citizenship, legal status or ability to pay."
But UTMB is in a financial bind, because the law doesn't reimburse the hospital for what it's spending to treat Martinez.
People who work with indigent immigrants say they see cases like this all the time.
"Every day. Every day. Every day. It's not the first case we've dealt with here at UTMB," said Joe Compian, with Gulf Coast Interfaith. "It's at other hospitals in the area as well, of individuals facing similar situations."
Martinez's wife said he was paid about $450 a week.
"The Americans that hired him didn't have a problem. Now for them to want to throw him back because he doesn't have the money to pay for it, I think that's irresponsible on America's part," she said.
Martinez's wife and son are now living in a shelter. He is living in a hospital. Where they're going next is anybody's guess.

Ever since Prescott was founded by the Walker party in 1864, Granite Mountain has been a special place for residents and visitors alike. Our trails take us past Indian ruins, old corrals, and spectacular views of the Mountain and the Williamson Valley. We ride in the designated Wilderness in search of the elusive animals that inhabit this craggy, granite remnant of pre-historic volcanoes and glaciers. Listen for the screech of the Hawk or Eagle that call this place home. The deer, antelope, coyote, javelina, and others play an elusive game of hide and seek with us humans as we enter their territory.
These are the trails of the animal, cattle, and ranchers, some of whom still roam these hills in the naturally beautiful "Rock Country" of Arizona. These are the trails we rise with pride and care. These are the trails we use for our guided horseback rides, year round in Arizona's high desert country.

By Tim Krohn
Free Press Staff Writer
— Those in the home and apartment construction trade had a good increase in business locally last year. But those who specialize in building large industrial and commercial buildings were sitting on their hands.
A look at 2012 building permit reports locally shows mixed results. Construction of new homes and apartments in Mankato shot up 51 percent last year compared to 2011. They were up 68 percent in North Mankato.
But new construction of industrial or commercial buildings stalled, falling 46 percent in Mankato and down 96 percent in North Mankato.
Slow business construction was attributed to a variety of things: uncertainty over the presidential and congressional elections, uncertainty about whether Obamacare would be the law of the land, fears of European economic disasters, and a slowdown in U.S. manufacturing the last half of 2012.
Mankato City Manager Pat Hentges said that while commercial development may have been lackluster last year, he thinks it will grow significantly this summer as the city has seen strong interest from developers in recent months.
"Last year was the year of the apartment, restaurant and strip center," said Hentges of the areas that saw growth.
"I would hope this year is the year of Wal-Mart and industrial growth. And all indications are that we're seeing an uptick."
The reference to Wal-Mart is the long-anticipated announcement by the company that it will begin construction on a massive distribution center on land it has owned for several years on the east side of Mankato.
The project would bring investments of hundreds of millions of dollars, numerous construction jobs for years, hundreds of permanent jobs and a variety of spin-off development.
Hentges said there is already increased interest in land around the distribution center site and more interest in land in general.
"I haven't seen the amount of interest in industrial investment before that I've seen this past year. The economy is rebounding and the workforce development is there," he said.
"And there's strip centers, remodels and restaurants coming in as well."
There is a also a major proposal working through the system that would bring major office, retail and apartment developments to a block of south Front Street.
Mike Fischer, interim city administrator in North Mankato, said they, too, are expecting this year to be better on the commercial-industrial side.
"We've seen more interest in the industrial-use side during the last half of 2012. We've got a couple of projects we believe may occur in 2013."
As for residential construction, both cities expect to see continued steady growth, although no big surges.
"For (single-family) housing starts, we'll stay stable in that 100 range, but I don't think we're going to get back to that 200 range for a while," said Hentges of the number of annual new home starts that peaked prior to the recession.
One thing both communities have are plenty of available lots in subdivisions that were started but then stalled.
"We have a good supply of lots available in all categories. Upper end, middle and starter," Fischer said.
Apartment construction will continue to lead in residential construction. It's likely a major upper-end apartment and commercial development project will start in Mankato on land behind Madison East Center.
In North Mankato, a redesigned $10 million Marigold apartment complex is moving through the process of approval.
St. Peter: apartments, Shopko
St. Peter Community Development Director Russ Wille said they, too, saw little industrial/commercial activity last year but have high hopes centered around a proposed Shopko development this summer and a number of residential projects.
Single-family construction increased modestly last year from six in 2010 to nine in 2012.
Apartment construction, however, is booming.
Drummer Construction is building 38 apartment units and has purchased four adjacent acres for more. The project, on the north end, will complete the Apple Tree Village project, which other developers started in 2003 before dissolving their partnership.
Wille said a recent housing survey showed St. Peter had a less than 1 percent apartment vacancy.
The city also is working with the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership to bring 40 units of housing to the former hospital site downtown. The hospital and a nursing home were razed a few years ago when a new hospital was built on the edge of town.
The apartments would be built by a developer under a tax-credit program that gives the developer financial incentives in exchange for having a cap on rent on a certain number of units.
And officials are hoping a Shopko project will happen this summer on a four-acre site near Hallet's Pond. Wille said there is a total of 15 acres of land there and he believes the Shopko project will trigger other developments such as restaurants.

City officials think they may have found the solution to the street flooding problems that have long plagued the North Park area.
The city plans to install a special storm release valve designed to improve drainage on such streets as East Pine Street during heavy rainfall. The region has been pelted with heavy rain in recent days, underscoring the need for a solution.
The installation of the valve is the idea of Public Works Commissioner Kevin Mulligan.
City Manager Charles Theofan said at the March 1 City Council meeting that the city is planning to put the project out to bid. Although he did not say how much he believes it would cost, Theofan said money left over from the county's Environmental Bond Act will help fund the project.
The city manager could not say when the project will take shape, but added, "It's a priority."
The flooding problems in North Park have persisted for 10 to 15 years, said City Councilman Len Torres.
"When there's a good rain, it floods the street," Torres said. "You can't walk across it by the Martin Luther King Center. The flooding still continues and it has not been solved.
"The problem is that kids can't get across the street and they can't take the school bus on the corner," Torres added.
During a heavy rainfall, he said, the street is under eight or nine inches of water. "It gets really bad over there," he said, adding that the current drainage system that leads into Reynolds Channel gets overwhelmed.
Torres said that other than Crystal Lake, few North Park residents have complained to the city administration about the flooding.
"It needs to be upgraded and it's been ignored," Torres said of North Park's poor drainage issues. "There's no reason why this could not have been given priority. People don't complain about it. It's sad because this affects their quality of life."
Theofan said the city began to look for a comprehensive solution to the flooding about 10 months ago, with the main goal of finding the most appropriate location for the installation of the valve. Several options were tossed out because they were too costly and others were not feasible.
Also during the March 1 council meeting, Lake raised the issue of brownfields, questioning why the city never pursued government funding to clean up the North Park area as a result of pollutants left behind by the former Long Beach incinerator. A brownfield site is the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of property that has been contaminated by a hazardous material.
"Why is the North Park residential area included in the brownfield opportunity areas?" Lake asked the City Council. "The vast majority of North Park residents are not aware that their homes are included in, or part of, the brownfield opportunity area."
She then asked the City Council if there are any plans or funding opportunities that the city applied for in the North Park area.
Theofan said the city has had environmental studies done in that area and none suggested that North Park should be designated a brownfield site.
He said some remediation has been completed, but the studies have found no danger from contaminants except where dry cleaners or gas stations were located.
"There's nothing along the bay front and certainly not in the residential area of North Park," Theofan said about environmental dangers. "There are no plumes or any dangers whatsoever that I am aware of."
In February 2009, the DEC released a study of Long Beach as a potential brownfield opportunity area, but it never moved forward, said Torres.
Under the Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program, municipalities are eligible for funding of up to 90 percent of the project's costs to complete revitalization plans and implement strategies for communities affected by contamination.
Torres said he learned that the contamination from the former incinerator has spread as far east as Monroe Boulevard and as far west as Laurelton Boulevard.
"It's a pretty serious situation," he said.
Theofan said he fails to see any benefit in the city's continued participation in the brownfield program.

MORAVIA — Honey Creek Resort State Park on Rathbun Lake in northern Appanoose County turned an operating profit for the year ending June 30, 2013, according to an audit released by the state auditor in December 2013.
The audit states HCRSP reported operating revenues of $6,066,364 and operating expenses of $5,830,398, resulting in an operating income of $235,966 for the year ending June 30, 2013.
A quick look at the numbers shows operating revenue from lodging of $3,335,090 was offset by $708,006 in operating expenses. Operating revenue from restaurant and banquet operations was $1,924,877, which was offset by $1,620,941 in operating expenses. Operating revenue from golf course operations was $623,080, which was offset by $666,183 in operating expenses. Operating revenue from the water park was $121,133, which was offset by $199,521 in operating expenses. Operating revenue from the gift shop was $62,184 which was offset by $49,960 in operating expenses.
Operating expenses for general/administrative, sales/marketing and property operation/maintenance were $1,535,643, $653,831 and $396,313 respectively.
HCRSP's most costly operating expense is payroll, with a total of $2,740,511 paid out in FY 2013.
What might surprise some people is that this is not HCRSP's first time to report more operating revenue than operating expenses. Besides FY 2013, the resort reported operating profit in FY 2011 and FY 2012.
Since FY 2009, when HCRSP first started generating financial records, the resort's total operating revenues have almost doubled, going from $3,104,679 in FY 2009 to $6,066,364 in FY 2013. Helping to lead that surge was lodging, where operating revenues in FY 2009 was $1,314,958 that jumped up to $3,335,090 in FY 2013.

"A bittersweet experience"
Pros – I love working with the people. Really, my co-workers were awesome. Chili's is a very laid back place as long as you do your job. I had a great time with other FOH staff and guests.
Cons – Long hours. Management did not keep their promises to me. No chance for advancement within the company. After three years with them as a host not one raise. Not one. I asked multiple times to be trained in multiple roles and all I got were empty promises.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep your promises. Help balance work-life better. Managers blocked out EVERY holiday, festival, etc so no one could have time off to enjoy special events with families. I worked 3 Easters in a row.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
Pros – good base pay, fun work environment
Cons – long hours, high turnover, could use more support
Advice to Senior Management – more money to managers
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Like a donkey chasing a carrot on a stick"
Pros – - The people you work with become family. Sure, there may be people that you don't especially get along with or even like working with, but you still like and respect them as a person.
- The lower and mid-management staff are very personable and reasonable. They'll work with you to resolve issues whether it be your schedule, rate of pay, or the relationship with another employee.
- The overall standard for food quality and cleanliness is high.
- Extra-curricular activities like the annual softball tournament, dodgeball, and volleyball outings help in building trust, respect, and teamwork among the employees, but can also create rifts between people and help nurture social cliques within a particular store.
Cons – - Work-Life balance is nonexistent. When I transferred to Utah, I was a full-time student used to working 36 hours going to 55 hours for several weeks in a row. Several times I voiced my concern about the negative impact work was having on my studies and, despite how many times I was told there would be a remedy, there never was.
- Constantly under-staffed. We never had enough people in the kitchen so overtime was a common thing. I expected to work 45+ hours each week simply because we didn't have the manpower.
- Willful ignorance. There were several instances where I got to meet mid and high-level managers in the Utah market and voice my concerns, the biggest being the language barrier between English and Spanish. Rather than taking action to bridge the gap like offering ESL or SSL classes, their proposed solutions were along the lines of "make sure there is a bilingual team member on staff," or "use the translator app on your phone."
- All talk and no walk. There's a difference between forgetting to address an issue and hoping a solution presents itself. There were several occasions where I would address issues to management about waste or quality that would seem to never go any further than that. When a team member consistently and constantly goes against health code and company policy without changing their habits, one can only assume that they are never punished for it. Also, If you form a committee with representatives from each department maybe there should be at least one meeting. Lastly, why go through all the trouble to create training modules and training people to train new hires based on these modules when we just throw them to the wolves without ever referring to the modules?
- Little room to move up. In almost every instance where I got to meet and talk with mid or high-level managers, my studies were brought up as well as my desire to move up into the corporate structure. Every one of those discussions ended on a positive note but, despite applying to several positions and having a formal interview over the phone I never heard anything back from the talent acquisition department. The CEO told me to my face that the company needed more people like me but they let me slip through their fingers.
Advice to Senior Management – - Listen to your employees more. If they say that a particular job is becoming overwhelming, find a way to help them cope with it better instead of just comparing them to another store - belittling a person rarely motivates them to do a better job. If a person is in a bad mood and visibly displaying it, ask them about it rather than yelling at them about it. Putting them on the immediate defensive usually ends with disciplinary action.
- Ask your employees to do things, don't tell them to. The phrase "I need..." is one of the most common ones I've ever heard in the food industry and, for an industry based around the guest, is an exceptionally greedy phrase. Eliminate this phrase from your vocabulary and your employees will respect you more.
- Assign managers to departments in which they have knowledge. I know this is tough because 90% of managers that moved up in the company came from the FOH but it's extremely tough to respect a kitchen manager that doesn't even know at which temperature (in F or C) water boils. The 3 days per station that managers in training receive is not enough for them to gain an understanding for that station or how to properly operate or organize it.
- Involve the HOH more in team-building exercises and games. The FOH get games every day and night to help boost their sales and their confidence, but there are rarely any of those types of opportunities offered to the HOH. The closest I've ever seen was "Safety Bingo" and the HOH wasn't even told about it until a week or so into the game.
- Enforce the channels of communication. If the QA is supposed to serve as a liaison between the FOH and the HOH, then it should be enforced that all communication goes through that channel. Servers and To-Go personnel coming around to the back of the line to ask for a side or to explain a ticket is distracting and unsafe. Servers taking food out of the window and not informing the QA usually leads to it going to the wrong table and screws up somebody else's order.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Great learning experience"
Pros – Teaches great fundamentals on how to be a good server and operate in a fast paced environment
Cons – Not a really great chance to make great money as a server, management will always take away tables on the best shifts
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"General Manager"
Pros – Money was great after many years with the company. great leadership training
Cons – Expectations of performance outcomes were unattainable. It was always stated it was as simple as serving burgers and beer but that was 30 years ago. The dynamics of the company became very complex with entirely too many plates spinning at one time
Advice to Senior Management – very stressful physically and mentally. Very difficult to balance quality of life
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Great Coworkers, but rude customers."
Pros – -Coworkers make the job fun
-Almost like a family with the other workers
-50% off on days you work and 25% off the days you don't
-Decent money being made if you work for it
-Flexible hours, and others are always eager to pick up shifts you don't want or can't have
-New Management already better than previous GM
Cons – -Customers are often rude
-treated like a servant and not a server
-felt like a punching bag for customers who had a bad day
-Rarely acknowledged for what we did right, and always acknowledged for what we did wrong.
-On some occasions, you may walk out of a lunch shift with $8 dollars for two hours of work.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"It's no longer the company Norman Brinker envisioned."
Pros – The Chili's and Maggiano's brands are strong and solid within the restaurant industry. Work hard and play hard are still part of the culture. Most everyone there is top-notch to work with. Community involvement is encouraged.
Cons – Team building and relationships, although "encouraged" are not always that easy unless you are "accepted" into the clique that runs your restaurant, brand or department. Benefit programs are expensive compared to other companies.
Advice to Senior Management – The "in" people are not always the best in the business. You've let a lot of star players go to the benefit of your competitors.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"People company first with a huge emphasis on living the company culture"
Pros – Discounts at company-owned restaurants, great office location, work-life balance
Cons – Lack of onboarding and formal training for new employees
Advice to Senior Management – Work on hiring practices and improve selectivity
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

"A very pleasing start with a less than stellar end."
Pros – Numerous locations with substantial opportunity. Pay was competitive and benefits were above average.
Cons – As is the case with many jobs, the company is only as good as the individuals working within it and my experiences were with individual of below average morals and character.
Advice to Senior Management – Remember that people are the life-blood of any business.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Long term stress for short term gains"
Pros – good money
corporate stability
opportunity for advancement
employee benefits for full-time employees
loyalty benefits
Cons – food service
long hours
constant management changes
no part-time benefits

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- MasterCard said late Friday that it, along with Visa and various banks, have agreed to a memorandum of understanding to settle litigation brought by merchants. The deal means that MasterCard will pay $790 million in cash, give the merchants a 10 basis-point reduction in credit interchange rates for eight months and modify its surcharge rule to allow U.S. merchants to levy checkout fees on credit cards. Visa agreed to similar conditions and its share of the total cash liability will be $4.4 billion.

The Daleks' Master Plan
From BroaDWcast
|Story Code: V / Season 3
|UK Airdate: 13 Nov 1965 to 29 Jan 1966
|Doctor: William Hartnell
|Previous Story / Next Story
- The serial was planned as a 12-parter. However, from the stage directions in the rehearsal and camera scripts for parts six and seven, particularly with regards to the "NEXT EPISODE" captions, it would seem that by the time the serial was made, it was being treated as an 11-parter (and would be sold as such to foreign broadcasters), but with an additional episode screened at Christmas, but only for consumption in the UK. In other words, The Daleks' Master Plan should really be regarded as an 11-parter with a special Christmas episode added for UK viewers, rather than as a 12-parter, with an episode removed from foreign sale. Put another way, it's an 11-parter which, after its sixth episode on 18 December 1965, took a fortnight's break before resuming on New Years Day 1966; meanwhile its replacement on 25 December 1965 was a one-off episode of Doctor Who...
- The 11-part serial (minus the Christmas 'special') was offered to Australia in March 1966, along with Galaxy 4, Mission to the Unknown, and The Myth Makers.
- It was viewed by the Australian censors on 13 September 1966 - and rated with a mixture of "G" and "A" classifications, with and without cuts. The ABC ultimately decided against attempting to "reconstruct" the films, since the "A" classifications on some of the episodes that didn't have cuts would prevent them from screening the serial in their preferred early evening timeslot anyway.
- The ABC officially "wrote off" buying the serial in March 1967. And since they did not purchase the rights to screen it, they did not make any clearance payments to the BBC. Accordingly, the other countries that were still buying the series at this time were not able to purchase the serial, as they relied on Australia to cover all the rights clearance costs.
- It is not known what happened to the prints that had been offered to the ABC. In all likelihood they'd have been returned to the BBC's Sydney office in March 1967. But what happened to them after that is unknown... (It is possible that the prints of parts five and ten that were recovered in London in 1983 were two of them.)
- See also Hartnell Junkings
- At the time the offer was made to Australia, both Singapore and Gibraltar were coming to the end of their transmissions of season two; the BBC may have struck additional prints of this story in anticipation of a sale to those two countries. As it turned out, neither country picked up the option to continue with the series after The Time Meddler. (The two episodes found in 1983 may have been from a set of these unused 'additional' copies.)
- Even if the serial had been accepted and broadcast in Australia in 1966, the two other countries screening season three at the time - Barbados and Zambia - would probably have been denied broadcast rights anyway, because by the end of that year, the BBC had withdrawn the sale of all Dalek serials as part of their agreement with Terry Nation.
- By the time the moratorium had been lifted at the end of 1967, only New Zealand and Sierra Leone, which were still lagging behind with screening the series, would have been in a position to include and schedule the serial with the rest of season three, but since neither country did buy this (and Mission to the Unknown) it must have been the cost that prevented them from doing so...
- Both Barbados and Zambia had screened as far as The Smugglers by the end of 1968, and probably wouldn't have been interested in buying and screening a story out of sequence.
- And because Singapore did not purchase season three until 1972 (as a "back-catalogue" package), it's likely that the sales rights to the 11-parter (usually five years from first UK broadcast) had already lapsed (in 1970) and not been renewed, which would have prevented Singapore from buying the serial with the rest of the season.

Dublin is full of pubs - modern megapubs catering for a young crowd, cozy small corner pubs which have not been redecorated since 1916, pubs providing a venue for folk musicians and pubs that are no more than watering holes for the serious drinkers. Picking the best pubs is down to taste and expectations. But here is a list of the pubs I would deem worth a visit when you are in Dublin and looking for a decent night out.
1. O'Donoghue's
The Big Daddy of Folk Music - O'Donoghue's at 15 Merrion Row was the pub that launched the career of the "Dubliners", Ireland's seminal folk and ballad group. Thus making the O'Donoghue's the seminal pub for folk fans visiting Dublin. Can get crowded especially during the tourist season and when live music is on. Near to the city center and surprisingly large, the pub is on several tours and will nearly always have a steady influx of visitors.
2. The Auld Dubliner
Situated smack in the middle of the busy Temple Bar District this pub is known for its bright mural (including a Jack Russell Terrier relieving himself), folk music and crowds. The address 24-25 Temple Bar ensures a steady stream of mostly young and sometimes very noisy crowds. You will never get bored here, but you'll not hear the music (or your own words) at peak times.

In most cases which require expensive medical attention, common sense and precautionary methods could have been used to avoid the unnecessary expenses. Most families end up spending more than what is required on medical care. A bit of foresight and smart thinking can save you a lot of money.
Increasing health costs and debts
The economic growth that has been witnessed in the years following the financial meltdown of 2008 has been somewhat tepid. The job market is still not as steady as it used to be and money is tight on all fronts. Generally speaking, the hard times are still around as far as money is concerned and right now, each dollar matters.
The number of foreclosures has gone up in the last few months and people are generally seeking bankruptcy advice to cope with their debt riddled financial situation. In these trying times, the common consensus most people would reach upon reviewing their personal finances, is that medical bills are one of the root causes of a spiralling debt load.
Tips to avoid high medical costs
In most cases which require expensive medical attention, common sense and precautionary methods could have been used to avoid the unnecessary expenses. Most families end up spending more than what is required on medical care. Here is a list of ways through which you can fine tune your medical care costs and increase your savings.
• Exercise regularly and incorporate physical activities into your daily routine. Swimming is one of the most rigorous physical activities you can engage in and it also helps you physical in a number of ways. It 9increases your stamina and reduces breathing problems. Take a 3 mile walk with your pet everyday or in case you don't have the time to do so, take power jogs for 30 minutes daily.
• Avoid smoking or drinking in excess quantities. Smoking is of course detrimental for your over all pulmonary health. It reduces your stamina and increases the risk of contracting and aggravating diseases such as asthma and lung cancer. Drinking in moderation is always good for your health but consuming excess quantities of alcohol raises the risk of various heart diseases and liver issues. Try limiting your drinking to a few glasses of wine a day.
• Refrain from self medicating and avoid overusing antibiotics. Over-the-counter drugs maybe generally safe to consume but you could end up taking one or more drugs in combination which might be toxic or cause an allergic reaction. Antibiotics are powerful drugs and without prescribed and supervised usage may end up harming your immune system. To avoid unnecessary complications and expensive medical emergencies, always consult a qualified physician before you medicate.
• Shop around for a good health insurance policy and remember to pay your premiums on time. Take your time and talk to an agent when you buy medical insurance. It can save you a lot of money in the long run and help you avoid accumulating a sizable medical debt. A good medical insurance policy will take care of costly medical procedures without financially draining you. Remember to pay the premium on time since a single missed payment can cause your policy to lapse.
Medical expenses form a large part of our yearly spending. Medical emergencies can be costly and leave you buried under a mountain of debt and unpaid bills. The best way to avoid running up a sizable medical debt load is to keep yourself healthy through precautionary measures and preventive care. A good medical insurance policy will also help you manage your costs and stay out of debt.

Really? So you mean my post wasn't an attempt to argue otherwise? How strange.
I read a lot of "I think" in your post but no cold hard facts or reasoning. So "I think" you can shove that in your pipe and smoke it. Come back to me with something worth arguing. Using Clinton or Gore as examples of good presidency? Fuck's sake, Gore didn't even get to prove it (although I think he would've been a good president) and you have no idea what Clinton would've done in the same situation, to say otherwise is mere speculation. The truth of the matter is Clinton or Gore probably would've responded to 9/11 with a couple of missiles launched into Afghanistan, and that's it. So they would have no other issues to contend with but Katrina. Entirely different situation.
It would, of course, help if you could read. I merely stated that priority-wise Katrina ranked lower than the war. Oh, and the Hurricane WAS handled poorly. But not by Bush. It wasn't his job to handle it, that was Nagin's job, and he fucked up royally. In fact noone's logically stated a damn thing Bush could've done in the event.
He was on top of both events, as best he could be. Try and come back with something other than another "blah blah blah" post with no substance, ok?

Madoff made off with $360M from Booker Prize sponsor
Perhaps someday a great book will be written on the Bernard Madoff scandal -- I've got a notion that Tom Wolfe is already halfway through a first draft -- but regardless of when (or if) that book on the most notorious Ponzi scheme in the history of investing is published, Madoff's alleged fraud on a massive scale has already touched the literary world.
Bloomberg News reported on Monday that Man Group PLC -- which is not a Robert Bly Iron John inspired male consciousness raising organization, but rather a venerable British "alternative investment" management and financial services business that was founded in 1783 by James Man, a London barrel maker who secured the exclusive contract to supply the British Royal Navy with the rum for nearly two centuries--appears to have lost over $360 million it had invested in hedge funds run by Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.
Since 2002 Man Group, which runs several hedge funds of its own, has been the principal underwriter of the Man Booker Prize, the 50,000 pounds sterling award given annually to the best original full-length novel written in the English language by a citizen of either the Commonwealth of Nations or Ireland. Past winners of the Man Booker Prize have included V.S. Naipaul, A.S. Byatt, John Berger, Salman Rushdie, Iris Murdoch, William Golding, Arundati Roy, J.M. Coetzee, Margaret Atwood, Peter Carey, Kiran Desai, and in 2008, Aravind Adiga of India for his novel The White Tiger.
The Man Group PLC also sponsors the Man Booker International Prize, awarded for biennially to a living author for lifetime achievement in English language literature and a body of work. The most recent winner was Nigeria's Chinua Achebe in 2007.
Jane Acton, a spokesperson for the Man Booker Prize committee confirmed that sponsor assets had been lost in the fraud, but insisted that it would have no impact on the continuation of either prize. "There's absolutely no reason to suggest that there would be any difference to the sponsorship deal we have at the moment." she told Bloomberg,
Maybe so, but the unfolding scandal--which may have claimed it's first life on Tuesday when Thierry Magon de La Villehuchet, the co-founder of Access International Advisors, which suffered losses of $1.5 billion in the alleged fraud, was found dead Tuesday in his Manhattan office, an apparent suicide--probably has the board of directors of the Man Group nostalgic for the good old days in a more legitimate business like rum running.

The Ridgewood Village Council last Wednesday dismissed a plan hatched by village staff that would have forced residents to clear snow between the sidewalk and the curb.
Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser told the council that when are above the height of 16 inches – by his estimation, half the size of the average kindergartner – the lack of visibility presents a safety issue, as seen during the brutal winter of 2010-2011.
"The reason we look at 16-inch maximum height for the snow to be allowed to remain between the curb and the sidewalk is primarily to enhance the visibility of the kids that walk to school," Rutishauser said. "We don't want to have situations where kids might come out from behind a snow wall unexpectedly for a motorist in a slippery environment."
Council members, however, were less than enthused by the plan.
Councilman Tom Riche said it placed a "tremendous" burden on the resident to have to shovel an area that is grass, especially for seniors.
Particularly irksome, he said, was the fact that very often a resident will finish clearing their section only to find the village has cleared the street and pushed snow piles onto the curb/sidewalk again.
The intent of the plan seemed good, commented Mayor Paul Aronsohn, but forcing residents to go back and forth to clear snow wasn't the answer.
Council members suggested the village work on better coordinating snow clearings with the school district in areas surrounding the schools and consider putting "some teeth" into fines, but fell short of endorsing the plan.
The current ordinance states that residents currently have 24 hours from the last snowfall to clear their sidewalks or face a potential fine of $40.
The snow removal pitch is just the latest plan from village staff that envisioned residents being responsible for greater levels of maintenance at right-of-ways and sidewalks.
Last fall, council members pushed back on a that would have forced residents to incur maintenance costs of trees between the village-owned curb and sidewalk.
Similarly, a proposed policy change that would have forced residents to was rejected by the council on Wednesday.

The logistic equation is a model of population growth where the size of the population exerts negative feedback on its growth rate.

Perspectives: From the Editor
Chemical Industry: The Good News Grows
U.S. chemicals output should outpace previous estimates.
Prospects are even brighter for the U.S. chemical industry than they appeared six months ago, reports the American Chemistry Council (ACC), Washington, D.C. In late June, ACC released a report entitled "Mid-Year 2014 Chemical Industry Situation and Outlook" that points to a stronger upswing than it previously predicted: "The consensus is that U.S. chemical output will improve during 2014 and into 2015. Indeed, our current expectations for 2014 are 0.5 percentage points higher than our year-end 2013 outlook." [That outlook was summarized in "U.S. Chemical Industry Gets into Better Tune."] "During the second half of the decade, U.S. chemistry growth is expected to expand at a pace (over 4% per year on average) exceeding that of the overall U.S. economy," the report adds. Moreover, it continues: "With the development of shale gas and the surge in natural gas liquids supply, the U.S. has moved from being a high-cost producer of key petrochemicals and resins to among the lowest-cost producers globally. This shift in competitiveness is boosting export demand and driving significant flows of new capital investment toward the U.S…. In a stark reversal to the trends of a decade ago, American chemistry is poised for a dynamic period of growth."
Announcements made by chemical producers in June certainly underscore the upbeat forecast.
For instance, Chevron Phillips Chemical, The Woodlands, Texas, held a groundbreaking at Old Ocean, Texas, for the second of two new polyethylene plants, each of which will have a nameplate capacity of 550,000 t/y. The press release about the event boasts: "With this groundbreaking, Chevron Phillips Chemical maintains its first mover position within the petrochemicals industry to engineer and build world-scale ethylene and derivative facilities in the U.S. based on the successful development of shale resources." The company also announced in June that it had started up the world's largest on-purpose 1-hexene plant, a 275,000-t/y unit at LaPorte, Texas.
Also that month, ExxonMobil Chemical, Houston, announced the start of construction of a multi-billion-dollar ethane cracker at its Baytown, Texas, complex. The steam cracker will be able to process up to 1.5 million t/y; it will supply ethylene feedstock to downstream units, including two new 650,000-t/y-polyethylene lines at the firm's Mont Belvieu, Texas, plant. "The project is made possible in large part by abundant, affordable supplies of U.S. natural gas," notes Steve Pryor, the company's president.
In addition, Dow Chemical, Midland, Mich., announced in June that it would begin construction of a 1.5-million-t/y-capacity ethylene plant at Freeport, Texas. "This world-scale ethylene facility is a foundational element in Dow's strategy to utilize low-cost and advantaged shale gas feedstocks to enable growth in key value-added market-driven businesses," says Andrew Liveris, CEO. The facility is part of a multi-billion-dollar investment on the Gulf Coast that includes 200,000-t/y "next generation" Nordel ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, 320,000-t/y high-melt-index specialty elastomers, 400,000-t/y Elite polyethylene, and 350,000-t/y specialty low-density polyethylene facilities.
Meanwhile, also in June, INEOS Olefins & Polymers USA, Houston, and Sasol Chemicals North America, Houston, announced a decision to form a 50/50 joint venture to build a 470,000-t/y bimodal high-density polyethylene plant in LaPorte.
This testifies to the attractiveness to non-U.S.-based companies of investing in Gulf Coast facilities. INEOS is headquartered in Rolle, Switzerland, and Sasol is based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Further pointing up the allure to foreign firms, Brazil's Braskem also revealed in late June that it would build a new polyethylene plant at its complex in LaPorte. The unit will make ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, and will mark the first time the company will produce the product outside of Brazil.

So perhaps 26.6/16.1/10.2mp isn't so bad and in theory on the 1.6 crop it could process 15.6 fps @ 10.2mp, though not sure what I would want 15.6fps for!
People who shoot sports or dance can think of good uses for 15.6 FPS. The big issue is moving the mirror that fast, assuming that there is a mirror that moves. The fastest FF Canon that I know of was the 1DV film camera, that did 10FPS. There is also an issue that current DSLR focusing systems are inactive while the mirror is up, the "blackout time".
I have to agree with Ivar. A 1D5 with a scaled-up and improved 1D4 sensor and a couple DIGIC V image processors makes a lot of sense. It would simultaneously (1) replace the 1D4, (2) replace the 1Ds3 and (3) merge the 1D and 1Ds series. Canon could also introduce a less expensive but still robust 16-20MP camera for wedding photographers using 5D2's and Nikon D700's (and those of us wanting to take pictures of black cats in coal bins.) If Canon ever gets the 40+MP sensor working correctly, they might use it in that same cheaper body to create a landscape/studio camera. The 5D2's killing of 1Ds3 sales strongly suggests that the days of $8000 landscape/studio cameras are passed.
Where does video fit into all this? I'm not sure except to note that 1920 X 1080 is still only a 2MP image.

A masked man armed with a knife robbed the Texaco at 2020 Black Lake Blvd. in Olympia about 8:30 p.m. Sunday, according to Olympia police.
The clerk called to report the robbery. Responding officers learned that the suspect had entered the store wearing a mask and a hooded sweatshirt. The clerk said the suspect demanded that he give him money and several items and threatened to stab him if he did not comply, police said.
Olympia police Sgt. Aaron Jelcick said Monday morning he did not want to describe the items taken by the man, because that is information known only to police and the suspect.
The clerk handed the suspect the items, and he left. A K-9 team was deployed, and the suspect was tracked to a parking lot where the trail was lost.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to call Olympia police at 360-753-8300 or Thurston County Crime Stoppers at 360-493-2222. Callers may remain anonymous.Jeremy Pawloski: 360-754-5445 email@example.com
