Weston Ranch's girls basketball team has seemingly had every opportunity to assert itself as one of the Valley Oak League's top two teams, and the Cougars' latest opportunity slid away to the Sonora Wildcats in a 50-42 loss Tuesday in Stockton.
When you get the chance to put all of your sophomores onto the floor at the same time in a varsity game, it usually says something about how the game is going.
While a lot of people would have been upset having lost by such a large margin, Lathrop High coach Ed Fang was actually pleased with the performance of his girls on the road at Manteca Tuesday night.
RIPON – The Ripon High girls varsity basketball squad unleashed its defense against visiting Hughson, resulting in a 43-20 Trans Valley League victory on Monday.
No area team improved its postseason position as much as the East Union boys and Sierra girls basketball squads, according to the second release of the Sac-Joaquin Section's power ratings.
Ripon Christian's boys basketball team can put its run of second-place finishes to rest tonight.
SALIDA – In a game that was nonexistent a few weeks ago, the Weston Ranch Cougars seized the moment in an 89-84 overtime shocker over Modesto Christian in the Crusaders' home gym Saturday in front of a standing room crowd.
In the first season the CIF has officially sanctioned the girls wrestling state championships, three area standouts solidified their trip south with top-4 finishes in the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters tournament Saturday at McNair High in Stockton.
STOCKTON - Just getting to the Sac-Joaquin Section Team Duals was supposed to be the hard part, but getting there seemed easy compared to trying to get through Los Banos during Weston Ranch High's 51-16 first round loss to the Tigers Saturday.
RIPON - If the whole basketball thing never works out for Ripon High senior Jared Ratto, he can take up acting in college.
STOCKTON - Over 220 wrestlers showed up to McNair High in attempt to continue their postseason run for at least another day, and for a handful of area wrestlers that mission was accomplished during the first day of the Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Masters Tournament.
Ripon Christian's boys basketball team is just one win away from earning a share of the Southern League championship after Friday's 68-55 triumph over visiting Le Grand.
The Manteca High boys varsity basketball team came out with a hard-fought effort against Sonora on Friday.
East Union completed a pivotal sweep of Oakdale on the road Friday, prevailing 55-54 in Valley Oak League boys basketball action.
Back in November, when the Valley Oak League wrestlers were beginning the opening stages of the season, it was common knowledge that Oakdale High would be the program in the league.
OAKDALE – It was about this time last year that Olivia Vezaldenos and the East Union girls basketball team began their playoff push.
HUGHSON – Ripon Christian kept its perfect Trans-Valley League record intact but may have lost a key player in the process.
LATHROP – Jaelen Ragsdale had his best performance in weeks on a night when Lathrop star Isaiah Ellis struggled just to stay on the court.
The Lathrop wrestling team swept its Valley Oak League double-dual meet with Weston Ranch and Kimball on Wednesday.
RIPON – Sean Broker burrowed down in the post, a tree standing tall above the Tribe. Austin Alger danced around the perimeter.
The Sierra High girls basketball team turned to its defense to snap a five-game losing streak.
RIPON – Physically, Ed Mulder knew Ellen Blankers would be fine following knee surgery in the spring.

I headed out to capture some footage during the epic 40 degree heat wave on Sunday. I came across some guys who where also a little restless to get back to the great outdoors. I never met them, so I don't have their names. I shot some pretty cool video, but I thought I would share some snap shots first. Now you have to have a very solid set of stones to paddle out in these waters this time of year. New England has some pretty decent waves in the off season, so it's not really ever "off-season" for the surfers. If you know these kats, tell them to hit me up!

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
10 Apr 2011 13:39 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Israel
Hamas and Israel have signalled that both are looking to end a flare-up in violence that began four days ago following a missile attack on an Israeli school bus.
Ghazi Hamad, Hamas' deputy foreign minister, delivered a rare appeal to the Israeli public on Sunday, calling for a halt to the escalating cross-border fighting.
Speaking in Hebrew to state-run Israel radio, Hamad said: "We are interested in calm but want the Israeli military to stop its operations."
Also speaking to Israel radio, Ehud Barak, the Israeli foreign minister, said Hamas had been hit hard in the past few days and a ceasefire may be the way to go.
"If they stop firing on our communities, we will stop firing. If they stop firing in general, it will be quiet, itwill be good," Barak said.
The cross-border violence erupted on Thursday after Palestinian fighters fired an anti-tank missile at a school bus, critically wounding a teenager and injuring the driver.
Israel has since then launched a series of air raids at targets throughout the Gaza Strip, killing 19 Palestinians, both fighters and civilians.
Children injured
Nicole Johnston, Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza, said that "civilians have paid a very heavy price, not only are they being killed but also dozens have been injured".
"Most of the injured are children ... there were children aged between 10 and 15 years, playing football, when a rocket hit and they were injured by pieces of shrapnel."
Armed fighters from Gaza have fired at least 120 rockets and mortars at southern Israel during the conflict, with rocket fire continuing on Sunday, according to the Israeli army.
A number of rockets have been shot down mid-air by Israel's newly deployed Iron Dome interceptor.
Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, said Israel would raise the stakes if cross-border attacks continued.
"Our policy is clear, if the attacks continue on Israel's citizens and soldiers, the response will be much harsher," Netanyahu said at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting.
Mediation efforts
Also on Sunday, Amr Moussa, the Arab League chief, said that the organisation would ask the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza following the Israeli air raids.
The UN and European Union have both called for an end to the cross-border violence.
Israel Radio said Robert Serry, the UN Middle East envoy, was trying to mediate a halt to the violence, and the Egyptian state news agency said Egypt was engaged in similar efforts.
Some political analysts have explained the recent cross-border escalation as an effort by Hamas to divert attention from demands, fuelled by pro-democracy unrest in the Arab world, for an end to the group's split with Fatah.
The Western-backed Fatah movement controls the West Bank after Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007.
Source: Al Jazeera and agencies
As violence escalates in the Strip, families say minors should be left out of the fighting.
Middle East
Army says Hamas commander Tayser Abu Snima, who helped capture Corporal Gilad Shalit in 2006, was killed in air strike.

Slide Show: Cirque du Soleil's Totem
Posted Apr 2, 2014, 4:03pm
The last Cirque du Soleil show to come to town, Ovo, was a magical work that created a whimsical world of insect performers amidst magnificent blossoming flowers (our review). While it didn't exactly have a point, it still evoked a thematic wonderland that laced together the spectacular performances. Totem has many of the ingredients that make Cirque one of the best shows on Earth: a metamorphosing set, a spectacular light show, a full band, and some of the most talented performers to be found. But in contrast to Ovo, Totem is an incoherent mishmash of circus acts, jerky Las Vegas choreography, lowest denominator humor, and offensive stereotypes. In other words, it's all spectacle and no soul.

built in wardrobe closet? inspiration pic
I have been trying to come up with a plan to build in a wardrobe in our guest bedroom(no closet). I found this idea at TOH and thought it could be built as a wardrobe vs. kitchen cupboards, building it a little deeper. Our ceilings are 12 foot and we would build it floor to ceiling.
What do you think? Would it look ok? Period appropriate for an 1868 home?
Similar style cupboards currently in our laundry/mud room
THO cupboard idea. Would even like the rolling library ladder, but not sure how feasible it would be.
This is the wall it would be built on and the bed would be moved to the other end of the room. Not sure if we should/would carry the cupboards over the bathroom doorway or not? Thoughts?
I think it would look very nice, and the ladder is a great idea--only thing is this: I wouldn't do cabinets over the bath door unless you were going to do another unit just like the first on the other side--symmetry was all the rage at that time with the influence of classical architecture.
My friend's house has similar height ceilings, and she has real cabinet/closets in her dining room with the end wall next to the central door being curved plaster. Her house is the same age as yours.
Love the ladder. That looks like a relic from an old hardware store or shoe store, even an old library.
Unless you plan to use the wardrobe for hanging storage of clothing year round and not just when guests are in residence, there is no reason why the clothing could not be facing front on a sort of 6" long bar, or hooks with hangers on them too. If the wardrobe doors are about 24" WIDE, and have enough HEIGHT as well, this would work nicely for standard length dresses and trousers, and really fine for blouses/shirts or skirts.
Closet depth is usually 24" front to back. Do you have a room large enough to accommodate a wardrobe that deep?
Also another option:
In that first photo, the location of the barrel. Put a door into the wardrobe behind the barrel location, and keep the rest of the closet configured as it is. That would give as much hanging space as a coat closet and adequate for a single guest.
columbusguy1, thanks. I too am thinking I will not run the closet over the door. There is another door just across the corner from the bath door. So would be difficult to run the closet around the corner. Does that make sense? Also can't afford to lose that much space from the room to run another closet on the other wall.
moccasinlanding, yes there would be enough space. The wall we intend to build it out on is at the end of the bedroom. Have measured it out and would still leave plenty of room between the end of the bed and the closet. Probably even enough room to have a bench at the end of the bed. This first picture posted is from our laundry/mud room and that closet if full already! Quite a few rooms away from the guest bedroom, so not an option to convert it to a guest closet.
We really do need the extra closet storage space, as our home was originally a school house and there are no built in closets. So all (3) closets that exist are built out style closets. The ones below are in our bedroom, and they are just not enough. So we would use most of the space in the guest room closet as well. Would leave some for guests, but only have weekend guests a few times a year.
Our bedroom closets...
Love love love the library ladders!!! I got one, with the railing, free on craigslist. I had a cathedral ceiling in a 900 sq ft cottage and was going to use it there. Alas, we moved before I did that. Haven't found a new place in the 230 year old house we bought for the ladder system, but I'm still thinking on it. Maybe when we remodel the kitchen :)
I would run the storage over that door. Imagine how much useful space you have up there.
Hi rafor! Any chance you might want to find that library ladder a new home for a good price? Have tried to get 3 and for one reason or another just too late, already sold, etc. Just lost the 3rd today and got door smashed in parking lot only to have the woman deny it! $200.91, hubby on business trip, going to totally freak. SO, it would totally make my whole year if you were anywhere close to Ohio and did want to sell it. Thanks in advance, Linda
Linda, I'm not in your area but here is a suggestion. 2 weeks ago I was in CT and went into a Borders store that was closing. They had their library ladders for sale. So find one of those stores near you that they are closing and maybe you will have some luck. They were also willing to sell the rails that went with them.
Good Luck!

I know there are people on here that don't like me, and I can honestly say I don't like a few of those ladies as well. That's life. No one is going to like everyone. I thought about leaving, I logged out and I vowed I wouldn't log back in. But something hit me. I'm not going to let a group of people ruin the one place I have to go when I have no one else to turn to. Where I go when I need someone to talk to or have something to vent about. I don't care if you comment on my post. I don't care if you put your snark in the box and press "post". I don't care. I'm going to continue to do what I'm doing. I do not have any other accounts. I have not made one before this, I did not make one during this one, and I will not make one after. I have no desire to act like someone I'm not just so a bunch of random girls will like me over the internet. That's not who I am. So, if you like me, cool beans. If not, that's cool too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and make choices for themselfs of who they are going to talk to and associate with. I'm not asking ANY of you to talk to me or associate yourselfs with me. If I make a post, I'm not going to go cry in a corner somewhere because I didn't get any comments. If I vent and you think it's ridiculous what I'm upset about say it. If you don't like me, PAN me and say it so you don't get in trouble. I don't want trouble and I know none of you do either. But I will not stop posting and commenting. This is a site for everyone and I have just as right to be here as anyone else does. Say what you want about me. I don't care. Have fun with it even. If that's what gets your jollies off, have at it. End.

Wheeling Shapes in a Virtual World
By JENNIFER DUNNING
Published: December 10, 1999
The darkness is vast and engulfing. At the back of the big room, lines, dots and wisps of large dancing figures wheel across a screen filled with the same darkness. For a moment, it seems as if one has stepped into that universe, a flesh-and-blood human let loose in virtual reality. The effect is both startling and exhilarating, as if an immaterial essence has appropriated the viewer's actual three-dimensionality.
Welcome to the world of Paul Kaiser and Shelley Eshkar, whose work will be shown and discussed at the Kitchen in Chelsea this weekend. Their digital art incorporates dance, drawing and computer graphics, most notably in the designs Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Eshkar created for Merce Cunningham's ''Biped,'' performed this year at the Lincoln Center Festival. An excerpt is on view at the art gallery at the Kitchen through Wednesday. And tonight and tomorrow night, Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Eshkar will participate in ''TV Dinner No. 6,'' also at the Kitchen, talking about and screening their work for all comers over a vegetarian dinner cooked by a neighborhood restaurant.
At the dinner, the two artists will discuss their work with Mr. Cunningham and also ''Ghostcatching,'' in which they abstracted movement by Bill T. Jones and turned it into virtual dance. In addition, Mr. Kaiser will talk about his new series ''If by Chance,'' two sections of which, called ''Flicker Track'' and ''Verge,'' are on view at the gallery through Dec. 22.
''Our 'TV Dinners' have two rationales,'' Elise Bernhardt, executive director of the Kitchen, said. ''One is to dig into the Kitchen's early roots in video. The other is to demystify what video artists do. Laurie Anderson once said something about technology being the fire around which we gather. This is a way to make a gathering experience and to recognize the early pioneers of the Kitchen but also the early pioneers of this day.''
Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Eshkar and their multimedia Riverbed Studio in the West 30's have become prominent in dance at a time when the art form is becoming increasingly interconnected with the electronic media. That is not surprising, for film, video and digital, or computer-generated, art have something of the suggestive power of the metaphorical art of dance. And the work of Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Eshkar hints at physiological and philosophical models for movement, space and even corporeality, those central concerns of dance.
At the same time, it is as possible to lose oneself in their visual world as it is in dance. In Mr. Kaiser's seductively elegant ''If by Chance,'' images of black and white cubes and rectangles and a box shift quickly and slowly through space. The planes of the box are revealed as if by sudden washes of light and then absorbed into black emptiness again. Here, too, one loses one's physical bearings, as if plunging into the field of motion, the shapes seeming to push forward at one point with the force and focus of a camera zooming in on the viewer. But special effects, even soul-stirring ones, are not what he and Mr. Eshkar are after, Mr. Kaiser said.
''We will not make anything that the human being can't do,'' Mr. Kaiser said. ''I'm not interested in a Jim Carrey movie where his tongue can reach the floor, or figures flying through space.'' Although they are best known today for their work with choreographers, neither Mr. Kaiser nor Mr. Eshkar has a background in dance. Mr. Eshkar, who is 29, is the computer-savvy artist responsible for the hand-drawn modeled figures in ''Biped'' and ''Ghostcatching,'' figures that suggest human presences that in turn define or suggest three-dimensional space around them as they move.
Mr. Kaiser, 43, began his career in experimental film and later became interested in helping the disabled children he taught to create ''table-top worlds'' or models of their minds, developed in part on computers through their drawings and the ways they moved as they drew. He further developed the technique while creating archival replicas of the storyboards that served as early visual theater scripts for Robert Wilson, and in conversations with the ballet choreographer William Forsythe. Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Eshkar now use that technique in archival work they are doing for the Estate Project for Artists With AIDS.
One important tool in their work has been the Character Studio computer program, created in 1997 by Susan Amkraut and Michael Girard, now of Unreal Pictures in Palo Alto, Calif., who helped to develop the dancing baby seen on ''Ally McBeal.'' Traditional animation had suggested motion by exaggerating it. Motion-capture technology tracked reflective sensors attached to a moving body and recorded by cameras surrounding the body. The data was fed into a central work station for consolidation into a file that drove the movement of a simulated figure on the computer.
Character Studio converted the data into a manipulable, highly refined form that was able to capture what Mr. Kaiser calls ''the little accidents and secondary motions that give actual movements their individual and indeed unrepeatable character.'' With Character Studio, Mr. Kaiser said, it was possible to put ''a hand-drawn thing in 3-D space.''

Wednesday March 21, 2012 2:33 AMSaw it today and loved it. The big screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic adventure novels is a worthy addition to the ranks of high-CGI content action. I've only read the first book "A princess of Mars", which this movie purports to be based on. There were indeed many plot points they took from it, but many things were added from later novels, or invented for the movie.
It's a truly gorgeous looking flick, with wonderful Barsoomian landscapes, detailed monsters, great costume design and fantastic looking cities. They've kept ERB's role as the nephew who has the tales told to him by 'uncle' John, a point which they could easily have ignored but I'm glad they didn't. Many times, especially when the action or the camera sweeps got me involved, I thought 'it's (almost) like watching Star Wars'. The detail and the design really are that good. It occurred to me later that watching Star Wars is probably more like reading ERB (via Flash Gordon).
Certain differences from the books are to be expected. People don't run around naked, for one. This is an excusable alteration, since it would probably distract many people from the story. They made a good compromise, though. Carter's outfit looks like a slightly less gay He-man, and Deja Thoris' wedding dress gives Leia's slave-girl outfit a run for her money.
Less easily excusable changes are Dejah Thoris' character. In the first book she's hard, spirited and absolutely useless for most things. In the movie she's intelligent, a competant swordswoman, gifted scientist and kinda soft. I can understand that in these days people want woman who are more than a prize, and I fully support that. But when it comes to movie adaptations of things, I generally like it to cleave as close to the source material as possible, regardless of what the uninitiated may think. Whatever, DJ was definitely a looker, as she should be.
In short, An excellent movie, one I shall get on DVD when the opportunioty presents itself, and one that the later releases this year, like the Avengers, the new Batman and Iron Sky, will have a hard time equalling.
I feel happy...I feel happy!

Wednesday March 21, 2012 2:41 AMThank you! I thought I was alone in nerd circles for loving it. They really kept that sense of wonder and adventure that's always made the Barsoom books for me (been reading them since I was 10), and I think that was more important than hewing completely close to the books.
I had a few minor quibbles with details, mostly how they changed Sola's character and made the Tharks comic relief instead of the stone-cold warriors they're supposed to be, but I understand why they did it and since the overall product was so well done, I'm okay with it. The Tharks were some of the best CGI I've seen, particularly the detailed facial expressions while still looking completely inhuman.
I really think they did it entirely because they know what was acceptable for a female character in scifi about 100 years ago won't really fly with the modern audience, and I supported most of the changes - though they did make her character kind of soft. Overall, I think it was good to have a more positive female role for her - though I find it hilarious that Disney of all things tried to make a more feminist character.
Oh my dear lord yes. That wedding outfit was something else.
And I think this movie almost makes me forgive Taylor Kitsch (John Carter) for what he did to Gambit in that god-awful Wolverine Origins movie.
Sucks that this has been such a bomb, though - I could really go for more blockbusters like this.
Everywhere I go I repeat: I do not belong here.

Wednesday March 21, 2012 2:25 PMSeems I forgot to add my opinions on JC and the Tharks.
Like you said, the Tharks were ignored and mostly humorous, and many things, like Sola and Tars Tarkas' relationship was thrown in there, probably confusing people who hadn't read APoM and the rather more detailed account of Thark culture and the history of Tars Tarkas.
JC was ok, but I never got the feeling of a gentleman officer of Virginia. My gf couldn't understand why he was being accosted by bluecoats because he didn't sound Southern. I had a hard time reconciling the opening paragraphs of APoM with what we saw onscreen.
He seemed always to be laughing; and he entered into the sports of the children with the same hearty good fellowship he displayed toward those pastimes in which the men and women of his own age indulged; or he would sit for an hour at a time entertaining my old grandmother with stories of his strange, wild life in all parts of the world. We all loved him, and our slaves fairly worshipped the ground he trod.
He was a splendid specimen of manhood, standing a good two inches over six feet, broad of shoulder and narrow of hip, with the carriage of the trained fighting man. His features were regular and clear cut, his hair black and closely cropped, while his eyes were of a steel gray, reflecting a strong and loyal character, filled with fire and initiative. His manners were perfect, and his courtliness was that of a typical southern gentleman of the highest type.
Ah, well. I'm very picky about things. Don't let my bitching deter anyone else from seeing this movie.
I feel happy...I feel happy!

HRC to Host Roundtable on LGBT Asylees and Refugees
September 3, 2014 by Ashley Fowler, Assistant, HRC Global
As the United States moves closer to attaining equality for LGBT people, the U.S. is becoming a safe-haven for LGBT individuals from abroad who face violence, harassment, and discrimination. Same-sex activity is criminalized in 78 countries and can be punished with the death penalty in 10 countries. Some individuals from these countries -- and others -- are fleeing their homes and seeking refuge in more accepting places.
As refugees and asylum seekers enter the U.S., new concerns surrounding their safety and survival arise. The Refugee Congress, an organization comprised of refugees in the U.S., has commissioned a caucus that focuses specifically on the needs of LGBTI refugees. They are convening a timely discussion, entitled "Hear our Voices," on these needs in Washington, D.C., on September 10, 2014. The discussion is open to the public, but is designed to provide a space for LGBTI refugees and asylum seekers to voice their needs and concerns.
Click here for a full agenda of the day's events. If you plan to attend or have questions about the event, please RSVP to Luzau Balowa, the Nevada delegate of the LGBTI Refugee Caucus, at firstname.lastname@example.com. This roundtable is a first step in bringing together refugees, U.S. policy makers, the UN Refugee Agency and NGOs to discuss coordinated efforts to advance the rights and increase protections of LGBT refugees and asylum seekers internationally and in the U.S.

Reply to: How Can the Postal Service Reduce the Costs Associated with Postage Stamps?
I think "Forever Stamps" are a very good idea, and Postal service should do less stamps. Now, the advent of online postage vendors has given individual customers an alternative to stamps.
Reply to: The Changing Change of Address System
It really is ridiculous that you can't print a COA form from the USPS website. My wife and I go to Canada in the summer and forward our mail there while we're up there. You can't find a PS form 3575 to download, and then fill it out and take it down to the Post Office as you are not allowed to forward mail internationally without going into the post office. Where's the logic in that??? You should make the PS Form 3575 available to download for customers with similar situations. Or if you would put international options on the interactive way I'd be more than willing to pay $1.00...maybe even $2.00!

Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
The vehicle maint. staff @ Oklahoma are very good, and their programs are worth every penny. But the fact is, it might take YEARS before you schedule training you need. In the meantime, the trucks need to be fixed.
Because the PO can't stop thinking that everone is out to get them, you would never believe this, but we spend our own time and money, going to trade shows for seminars, taking training from parts companies that we worked with before the P.O. We go to manufacturers websites, and take online training specific to our vehicles. Becuse the manuals are on CD's we can print out sections of the manuals, and study them at home, all on our own time.
And what's our reward?
More Accusations of "Getting Over on the PO".
Yeah, I feel smart :(

I remember the first training session I attended at the USPS orientation.
I quoted exactly, because I wrote it down on my Blackberry.
The "trainer" described the cardinal rule of the USPS. (don't know the qualifications of them, if any, as reflected in their mastery of the english language)
Like the so called training experts at FEMA/PEMA. The qualifications,
like the qualifications of the Transportation Managers where I work,
are...... ahem.... "loose"... if existent at all....
You see, training requires demonstrated skills aquired over years of experience, or education.
You simply can't invent education or learned skills with a Power Point

Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
I am a MPE and would not be against the proposed idea if the system of training were the same as the private sector! Many posters have already stated how the current system is abused by management forcing people to attend classes for reasons unrelated to the business. Likewise, they withhold classes as punishment and unrelated reasons also.
If employees were notified before accepting a position that they would have to take certain classes and given schedules then I believe the idea to retain the employee for a certain period would be proper.
The current system and contract language as well as the general lack of knowledge on the part of most Maintenance managers and supervisors leaves this idea (One of the more coherent ideas I have read on this blog) floating in the toilet.

Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
I have been employed by the Postal service since Jan, 1995. I have attended training at NCED in Norman OK over 20 times. Very few of the courses translate to the "outside" world. If areas such as vehical maintenance are experiencing a problem, than I would think the real issue is we are not paying the VMF Mechanics enough. I would have to see documentd proof that this is a wide spread problem befor I would aggree to such drastic measures. Others have already brought up the issue of attending training close to retirement. I can see the potential for abuse from both management and craft. But the contract controls how people are selected for training. Senior volunteers and involuntarily by juniority. How do you force a employee who is retiring within 6 months? I would think this individual would be at the top of the seniority list and everyone below him/her would have had to already been to the training.
Reply to: Taking the Postal Platform to the Digital World
I would like to know why in Chicago if there are new opening for employment,for clerk, mailhandler, etc and u have already pass the postal test why do u have to take it again. If there are opening in these areas why not pull people who already pass the test so they can be hired. It doesn't make since to take the same test again when u have people in line waiting for these jobs and u are telling them they must take the test all over again because the is something new. So what hire US, we been on the waiting list two years or more now because it something new we have to take the test again and that's fair. Can somebody look into this.
Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
Your argument almost makes sense but takes the typical postal view of the bad employee, you should consider the opposite employee's view, that if I am better trained then I would be worth more. How about incentives for completing training? Scaled incentives for higher scores when attending training? How about we drop the stick and offer more carrot for a change?
Reply to: Neighborhood Mail and the Future of the Postal Service
The story below shows another of the possible uses for Neighborhood Mail. This type of thing could become more common if Neighborhood Mail was known by every American and it was easier to do from your home computer.
Randi Slocum with Kaylee.
When Randi Slocum's dog Kaylee ran away from her Stillwater, NY, home, Slocum and her friends did what any group of concerned pet owners would do — they formed a search party and knocked on neighbors' doors looking for the chocolate Labrador mix.
But Randi's mother, Carolyn, had a better idea — use Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) to notify residents in Stillwater and nearby Schuylerville, NY, of the dog's disappearance.
Carolyn Slocum, a board member of the local Postal Customer Council, had just attended an EDDM seminar given by Albany District Grow Your Business Coordinator Natalie Dolan. "I knew that the best way to reach every household was through the new EDDM program," said Slocum. "Since many people work all day, this would be the most likely way to reach them."
By the next morning, Carolyn had the mailings prepared to EDDM standards and dropped them off at the Stillwater and Schuylerville Post Offices. The flyer helped unleash a series of phone calls, and that helped lead to Kaylee's safe return.
Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
This type of thinking should apply to everyone, salary and craft employees. And, when an employee is FORCED to go to training, the USPS eats the cost, or recovers the cost from the responsible party. If it is known that said employee was soon to leave the USPS, the manager or supervisor responsible for forcing the employee to attend training should now liable for the cost.
Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
I would suggest a distinction needs to be made between voluntary and involuntary training.
If an employee volunteer for training then it seems reasonable that he or she has to pay it back. If an employee is involuntarily assigned to training that it seems unreasonable to me.
I think we all have known at least one fellow employee who has abused the system i.e. attending training with full plans to retire and "pay management back" or other nonsense.
Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
I believe it would be more cost effective to retain the employee's with the most schooling and knowledge and aptitude. Why doesn't the Postal Service give ET's a monetary award to stay on another 3 or 4 years? Just like in the Military
Reply to: Neighborhood Mail and the Future of the Postal Service
Interesting article, but from observation, it seems like a big part of new business is in the online purchasing area. I have always liked the personal service of the Postal Service employees,you get to know your carrier and they are always helpful. UPS drivers are also helpful but not as well know as the mail carrier. So I guess I wonder why the Postal service doesn't try to compete more with UPS and Fed Ex. I think with a little more computer tracking that the postal service would win hands down.
Reply to: The Postal Strike of 1970
labor relation failure has waste postal monies by the millios with total impunity.
Reply to: Training . . . Stay or Pay?
Thank you for your comment. You bring up an interesting point. If in fact the employee you refer to has officially notified USPS management of his intention to retire and a retirement date has been set, then it would cause us to question whether sending such an employee to six weeks of very specialized and costly training was really necessary. Should these actions prove to be widespread, this is an issue that could be considered for further review.

selling named cultivar plants at market
Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and pretty new to market gardening. I kind of fell into it and started selling cut flowers at my local farmer's market last year. I'm still learning a lot as I go along.
Today I was dragging some of my many potted perennials out of my garage, where they spend the winter. I noticed that some of the daylilies were getting crowded in their pots, and the thought crossed my mind that I could sell some at the farmer's market. (I sold some annuals and a few perennials last year which I started from seed, but that was the extent of my plant sales.)
My question is, are there any ethical/legal issues regarding selling named cultivars? (I'm very fuzzy on the whole hybridizing/naming process, and quite frankly don't even know if I'm using the right vocabulary here, but hopefully everyone can understand what I'm getting at) If I sell a named daylily, for instance, is there someone somewhere who should be getting a cut? And how do I go about doing that? Or is it okay to sell named plants?
Can anyone help me on this issue, or direct me to where I can get more info?
Thank you,
If the cultivar is patented then you can't sell it without permission from the patent holder (most often you pay a fee to propagate these varieties).
Look up the names in any current index (any catalog or trade publication) and if the PPAF or patent pending info is included in their listing then the plant is off limits for propagation.
Question....Let's just say I have some patented daylilies growing. What if I just sold them as lemon yellow day lilies(or whatever) If I didn't say they were a certain cultivar, could I still sell them?????
I've seen it done. It is a way some people get around the patent protection thing. It does seem that customers do respond to the marketing jobs done on named cultivars though. So you may not move as much of your Lemon Yellows when you tell people "they're just as good as Megapatent Yellows". If you look through much of the plant material available (especially the showy foliar perennials) you will see plenty of identical twins, at least to the untrained eye. And I have a problem with some of the old timey favorites that are now offered as an improved version under a different name and patented. To me, if you want a patent protecting your hard research efforts, do a better job of refining the cultivar.
Added note re: Heidi's question. Ethics here! What if you are the patent holder? It is quite a process to get a plant or seed stock patented and you want to recoup the expenses. The customer has a right to expect pure stock, too. I've even seen seed exchangers offer hybrid seeds of a known item when you know right well they had no access to the parent lines.

UK's Cameron cuts short holiday over Iraq, resists calls for air strikes
LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his holiday to return to Britain to chair a meeting to discuss the Iraq crisis on Wednesday, but resisted calls to intervene there militarily and ruled out recalling parliament for now.
Cameron returned as Iraq's new prime minister-designate won endorsements from uneasy mutual allies the United States and Iran. He also called on Iraqi leaders to end feuds that have let jihadists seize much of the country.
UK's Cameron will lose election on ethnic minority vote: Muslim ex-minister
LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives will lose next year's election because they have neglected ethnic minority voters, Britain's first Muslim cabinet minister, who last week resigned over the government's Gaza policy, warned on Sunday.
Sayeeda Warsi, a former Foreign Office minister who has played a key role in the Conservatives' appeal to Muslim voters, last week embarrassed Cameron by resigning via Twitter over what she said was the government's "morally indefensible" approach to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
British police raid pub in search for 'Holy Grail'
LONDON (Reuters) – British police raided an English country pub this week in search of a stolen wooden relic believed by some to be the Holy Grail – a cup from which, according to the Bible, Jesus is said to have drunk at his final meal before crucifixion.
The Grail has captivated religious experts for centuries, spawning myriad theories about its location and inspiring numerous fictional accounts from the Middle Ages onwards.
Colourful London mayor, potential Cameron successor, plans return to parliament
LONDON (Reuters) – London's colourful mayor, Boris Johnson, widely regarded as a potential challenger for Prime Minister David Cameron's job, said on Wednesday he would try to run for parliament in next year's national election.
Winning a parliamentary seat would be the first step in any bid to succeed Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party – a job that Johnson has coyly denied interest in for years while at the same time fuelling constant media speculation.
Britain eyes regulation for virtual currencies
LONDON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – Britain on Wednesday took its
first steps toward regulating the rapidly expanding use of
virtual currencies, launching a study to look at the
opportunities and risks presented by digital currency Bitcoin
and its rivals.
The announcement came in a package of measures unveiled by
finance minister George Osborne aimed at boosting financial
innovation in London to help fend off challengers to the city's
status as the world's leading financial centre.
UK minister quits over 'morally indefensible' Gaza policy
LONDON (Reuters) – Sayeeda Warsi, a senior minister in Britain's Foreign Office, resigned on Tuesday, accusing Prime Minister David Cameron's government of taking a "morally indefensible" approach to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
While the British government has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Cameron has come under criticism from political opponents for what they say has been his reluctance to condemn Israel's actions in stronger terms.
NATO must change to better repel Russian threat: UK's Cameron
LONDON (Reuters) – NATO must overhaul itself to be able to better defend its members from a potential Russian military threat, British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Saturday,
He said the U.S.-led Atlantic alliance had to rethink its ties with Moscow because of the Ukraine crisis.
Britain cuts EU migrants' access to welfare payments
LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday set out new welfare rules to cut access to social security payments for migrants from the European Union, the latest in a string of British measures aimed at addressing voter concern over immigration.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph newspaper, Cameron said that from November migrants coming to Britain from the EU to find work would be entitled to claim unemployment and child benefits for three months, rather than the previous six months.
Ukraine crisis puts Britain's Cameron on spot over Russian donations
LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister David Cameron came under pressure over the Ukraine crisis on Wednesday after he was forced to defend a party political donation from the wife of a former minister in Russian President Vladimir Putin's government.
Lyubov Chernukhina, the wife of Vladimir Chernukhin, a former deputy finance minister in Putin's government, agreed to pay 160,000 pounds ($272,500) to Cameron's Conservative Party at a fund-raising gala this month in exchange for a game of tennis with Cameron and Boris Johnson, the mayor of London.
Hardline Muslims tried to impose Islam in British city's schools: government report
LONDON (Reuters) – A British government inquiry has found that hardline Muslims tried to impose an "intolerant and aggressive" Islamic agenda on some schools in the city of Birmingham, including separation of boys and girls in lessons and banning Christmas celebrations.
Some of the majority-Moslem schools invited speakers with known extremist views to assemblies and promoted organizations that would be categorized as 'extremist' under government classifications, according to the report by Peter Clarke, former head of London Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command.

Indian Railways (reporting mark IR / भा. रे) is an Indian state-owned enterprise, owned and operated by the Government of India through the Ministry of Railways. It is one of the world's largest railway networks comprising 115,000 km (71,000 mi) of track over a route of 65,000 km (40,000 mi) and 7,500 stations. As of December 2012, it transported over 25 million passengers daily (over 9 billion on an annual basis). In 2011, IR carried over 8,900 million passengers annually or more than 24 million passengers daily (roughly half of which were suburban passengers) and 2.8 million tons of freight daily. In 2011–2012 Indian Railways had revenues of 1119848.9 million (US$17 billion) which consists of 696759.7 million (US$11 billion) from freight and 286455.2 million (US$4.4 billion) from passengers tickets.
Railways were first introduced to India in 1853 from Bombay to Thane. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit, the Indian Railways, becoming one of the largest networks in the world. IR operates both long distance and suburban rail systems on a multi-gauge network of broad, metre and narrow gauges. It also owns locomotive and coach production facilities at several places in India and are assigned codes identifying their gauge, kind of power and type of operation. Its operations cover twenty eight states and seven union territories and also provides limited international services to Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Rail transport is a commonly used mode of long-distance transportation in India. Almost all rail operations in India are handled by a state-owned organisation, Indian Railways, Ministry of Railways. The rail network traverses the length and breadth of the country, covering in 2011 a total length of 64,460 kilometres (40,050 mi).:3 It is the 4th largest railway network in the world, transporting 7651 million passengers and over 921 million tonnes of freight annually, as of 2011.:3, 56 Its operations cover twenty eight states and three union territories and also provide limited service to Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Both passenger and freight traffic has seen steady growth, and as per the 2009 Railway budget presented by the Railway Minister, the Indian Railways carried over 7 billion passengers in 2009
Railways were introduced to India in 1853 from Mumbai to Thane, and by the time of India's independence in 1947 they had grown to forty-two rail systems. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit—Indian Railways—to form one of the largest networks in the world. The broad gauge is the majority and original standard gauge in India; more recent networks of metre and narrow gauge are being replaced by broad gauge under Project Unigauge. The steam locomotives have been replaced over the years with diesel and electric locomotives.
The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. Despite being generally known as the Salem witch trials, the preliminary hearings in 1692 were conducted in a variety of towns across the province: Salem Village (now Danvers), Ipswich, Andover and Salem Town.
The most infamous trials were conducted by the Court of Oyer and Terminer in 1692 in Salem Town. One contemporary writer summed the results of the trials thus:
Salem pronunciation (help·info) is a city and a Municipal Corporation in Salem district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Salem is located about 160 kilometres (99 mi) northwest of Coimbatore and about 340 kilometres (211 mi) southwest of the state capital, Chennai. Salem is the fifth largest city in Tamil Nadu in terms of population after Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, and Tiruchirappalli respectively and fourth in terms of urbanisation. The area of the city is 100 km2 (39 sq mi). It is the fifth Municipal Corporation and Urban agglomeration commissioned in Tamil Nadu after Madras (year 1919), Coimbatore (1981), Madurai (1971) and Tiruchirappalli (1994) respectively.
The United States is a country in the Northern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, and the Eastern Hemisphere. It consists of forty-eight contiguous states in North America, Alaska, a peninsula which forms the northwestern most part of North America, and Hawaii, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. There are several United States territories in the Pacific and Caribbean. The term "United States", when used in the geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. The country shares land borders with Canada and Mexico and maritime (water) borders with Russia, Cuba, and the Bahamas in addition to Canada and Mexico.
Salem is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, in the United States. The population was 41,340 at the 2010 census. Salem and Lawrence were the county seats of Essex County prior to the abolishment of county government in 1999. Home to Salem State University, the Salem Willows Park and the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem is a residential and tourist area which includes the neighborhoods of Salem Neck, The Point, South Salem and North Salem, Witchcraft Heights, Pickering Wharf, and the McIntire Historic District (named after Salem's famous architect and carver, Samuel McIntire). Salem was one of the most significant seaports in early America.
Featured notably in Arthur Miller's The Crucible, much of the city's cultural identity is reflective of its role as the location of the Salem witch trials of 1692: Police cars are adorned with witch logos, a local public school is known as the Witchcraft Heights Elementary School, the Salem High School athletic teams are named the Witches; and Gallows Hill, a site of numerous public hangings, is currently used as a playing field for various sports. Tourists know Salem as a mix of important historical sites, New Age and Wiccan boutiques, kitschy Halloween, witch-themed attractions and a vibrant downtown that has more than 60 restaurants, cafes and coffee shops. The 15th Annual Retailers Association of Massachusetts awarded Salem as the best place to shop in 2012. President Barack Obama on January 10, 2013 signed executive order HR1339 "which designates the City of Salem, Mass., as the birthplace of the U.S. National Guard.
Winston-Salem is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina, with a 2010 population of 229,617. Winston-Salem is the county seat and largest city of Forsyth County and the fifth largest city in the state.
Winston-Salem is the second largest municipality in the Piedmont Triad region and is home to the tallest office building in the region, 100 North Main Street, formerly the Wachovia Building and now known locally as the Wells Fargo Center. Winston-Salem is called the "Twin City" for its dual heritage and "City of the Arts and Innovation" for its dedication to fine arts and theater and technological research. "Camel City" is a reference to the city's historic involvement in the tobacco industry related to locally based R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's popular Camel cigarettes. Winston-Salem is also known for its traditional furniture company. Many locals refer to the city as "Winston" in informal speech. "The Dash" is referenced from the hyphen between Winston and Salem and was popularized by the nickname of the local minor league baseball team, the Winston-Salem Dash.
The Salem-Shotwell Covered Bridge, also known as the Pea Ridge Covered Bridge, is a locally owned wooden covered bridge that spans Rocky Brook in Lee County, Alabama, United States. It is located halfway down Park Road (formerly the east end of 7th Avenue) at Opelika Municipal Park, which is off North 5th Street in the city of Opelika. Coordinates are 32.6592944°N 85.3813722°W / 32.6592944; -85.3813722 / 32°39′33.46″N 85°22′52.94″W (32.659294, -85.381372).
Originally built in 1900, the 43-foot (13-meter) bridge is a Town Lattice truss construction over a single span. Its WGCB number is 01-41-B, formerly 01-41-04. The bridge was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on January 25, 1977. It was destroyed by a fallen tree in 2005 at its original location near Salem, then rebuilt in 2007 at Opelika Municipal Park. The bridge is maintained by the Opelika Kiwanis Club and the City of Opelika.
