Joseph Anthony 7a - 11a |

Wednesday, March 7, 2012
A federal civil rights lawsuit against the Calhoun County sheriff and a deputy has been set for trial in July, according to a judge's order.
The trial was originally set for next month, but an order filed last week by Judge Robert Propst states the case should be ready for jury trial by July 10.
Sheriff Larry Amerson and Deputy Wendell Ward face civil rights accusations stemming from a lawsuit filed in April 2011 by an Anniston woman.
That woman, Stacy Brown, claims Amerson and Ward physically and verbally abused her 14-year-old son while he was participating in a Calhoun County Jail program for teens.
Last month, attorneys for Brown and her son -– identified in the suit as J.B. -– met with lawyers representing Amerson and Ward and jointly asked the judge to approve a schedule that would push the trial date back to February 2013.
But Propst denied that request.
"This case has been pending too long to be put off for over a year," the judge wrote in an order issued on Feb. 21.
Attorneys met again after that decision and submitted a new schedule for the case timeline, this time showing the case would be jury-ready by July 10.
"We intend to conduct some discovery over the next couple of months to get ready for the trial," said Anthony Bush, one of the attorneys for Brown and her son. "There is nothing unusual with the case; it's going through the system as most cases do."
Reached Tuesday, a lawyer for Amerson said he is confident that the sheriff and Ward will win the case.
"We will vigorously defend the sheriff," attorney Randy McNeill said. "I've looked at almost every minute of video … recordings; that one little segment that seems to be out there so much, it's a small slice."
McNeill said he and the other defense attorneys were pleased when, in December, Propst dismissed three of six of the allegations against Amerson and Ward, including one that the defendants violated the federal Juvenile Justice Act.
On Dec. 7 the federal judge filed an 11-page memorandum opinion that, in essence, stated the actions of Amerson and Ward did not violate the Juvenile Justice Act, because Brown's son was not a youthful offender or charged with a crime when he participated in the jail program.
That allegation had been a key component of the plaintiff's suit.
Bush said he and Peyton Faulk, the other attorney representing Brown and her son, were "both very disappointed" with that ruling.
"We disagree with it, but we do respect the judge's opinion," Bush said.

It's not easy being Nelson Mandela's granddaughters. Though no matter how much pressure that lot in life poses, it's got to be a breeze compared to staring Jaws in the face. Speaking with Film Festival Radio host Janice Malone about their new Cozi TV series, Being Mandela, Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway and Swati Dlamini reveal the depths to which they went proving that political activism can go hand-in-hand with adventure. "It was absolutely frightening and scary," Swati says of shark-diving off the coast of their native South Africa. "I talked my sister into doing it. But by the time I got on the the boat, I was like, This is such a bad idea. Can we get off this boat? But in the end it was fascinating to swim with great white sharks in their natural environment."

Nope, you are crazy about Madcatz. That is for Japanese fighting games, it uses Sanwa, delicate and precise ball-top (not bat-type) joysticks, which are great for smaller hands to perform fighting combinations. Sanwa sticks are not good at all for classic games and they are very delicate. Anyone using those for 6 months will tell you they are so precise (which is great for winning), but like a baby-girl.
American parts (bat-top) are more rugged and authentic for the classic arcade games. You will see this joystick on the original Midway, Galaga, and most classical 80's arcade machines. Different products for different people.. Played arcade games in the 80s--buy this. Play fighting games like Street Fighter competitively, get Sanwa-parts. (hori or qanba are both better than your suggestion of Madcatz) |
Everyone's morals are different, of course. |

the game gets really old very fast when the xbox controllers don't take in the inputs the way you want, so I wanted to buy some fight sticks to make the experience better, but not more than 60 dollars... any advice is much appreciated. |

His survival skills are sharp after years on the streets, but he moves warily at times, and feels for the sawed-off wooden chair leg attached to his belt and hidden under a sweater tied around his waist. He remembers how that man looked after the horrible beating. Maybe it was a drug deal, he says, or a hustle gone bad.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
I ask Nathaniel if he ever thinks about sleeping on safer streets, or cleaning up a bit and getting an apartment somewhere.
No, he says. This is his turf.
"I'd rather die where I know my way around. I'm out here breathing fresh air, and I'm not trapped in some apartment, cooped up and unheard of."
This is exactly what's so frustrating about Nathaniel. He can sound so sensible, even eloquent. But his irrational choices reveal the depth of his mental illness.
Nathaniel takes a cloth strap and lashes his shopping cart to the metal door of the storefront. Then he unpacks for the night, a ritual he performs while telling me the meaning of his music and his life.
"My vision -- I hate to admit it -- but I'm going to have to do what Mozart did, and die. My vision is to stay in good with God and not worry about far-off stuff, just get across the street safely and be thankful. Honor thy mother and father, don't be disrespectful to people, be good, and maybe the music will take care of itself."
Not five feet away, a young ashen-faced man slumps down and lights a crack pipe.
Helicopters chop up the night, an amputee rolls by in a wheelchair and Nathaniel chases away cockroaches the size of Volkswagens.
"My god doesn't have a special name," Nathaniel says without my asking. "Beethoven could be my god."
He'd been to the library earlier in the day looking for sheet music, carrying a list of the pieces he wants. A Brahms double concerto. Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme for cello and orchestra. Mendelssohn's Third and Fourth Symphonies. Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. Strauss' "Don Quixote."
He couldn't find them, but was thrilled to come away with Camille Saint-Saens' Concerto for Violoncello.
"There's something like 18 or 19 notes in a single pickup," he says with a child's awe. "It's very pleasing that Saint-Saens had all those ideas and was fast enough to get this all down."
Out comes a whisk broom and Nathaniel, perhaps the most compulsively neat person I've ever met, sweeps the sidewalk where he intends to sleep.
"Have to get all this nasty business out of here," he says. He's particularly disgusted by cigarette butts.
The job done, he turns to me.
"Welcome to my humble abode."
Then Nathaniel reaches into the bottom of his cart and offers me a can of Shasta Tiki Punch soda.

You're right about that promise of Murphy's. Promises are meant to be broken. But really I luv Ricky Martin. He's a great singer and dancer. I've seen him on a soap-a really good actor too. So ready for salsa music. As much as I was disappointed in s2, s3 is much better but still has a way to go. I am liking some of the story lines this season. So glad Quinn is not crazy anymore. No more Puck and Shelby- now that was wierd.

"Theo and Helen" theo1006's Profile
We, Theo (1942) and Helen (1952), have chosen to live our retirement years in Java. Theo, a Dutch national, worked here in his former life for 16 years. Helen, born in Suriname, lived in France and the Netherlands, before she teamed up with Theo.
We love travelling off the beaten path, discovering places that most tourists pass by. In Java and Bali we do this with our own ISUZU minibus. And we find that Indonesia is also a good starting point to visit other countries in South-East Asia.
December 2006/January 2007 saw us in Helen's country of birth, Suriname, where we spent 2 months discovering the interior and other places.
In October 2007 we explored the region round Wilis mountain in East Java. This trip resulted in the tips on Madiun, Nganjuk, Ponorogo and Tulungagung, the towns which lie near this mountain.
in 2008 we did more exploring on Java, and visited Vietnam as well.
2009 was a busy year. We had occasion to visit West Timor twice, and also Timor Leste. See our tips on Kupang, Soe and Kefamenanu.
We also spent time on the Karimunjawa islands, and in China.
The year 2010 saw us in Thailand and Banda Aceh.
In 2011 long-standing travel wish was fulfilled, we took our car island-hopping from Java via Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa to Flores, where the Kelimuti lakes were our farthest destination.
In 2012 we circled around the globe: Indonesia - Netherlands - Suriname - Venezuela - Costa Rica - USA and back to Indonesia by way of Korea.
At the time of writing this update we are in Suriname for a 3 months' stay, where Theo has taken up a teaching assignment.
Our own minibus brings us everywhere in Java and Bali. It has ample space for 2 to 4 people with luggage and is just right for the road conditions.
Travel wishes
Now that we have done Java to Flores by car, the next wish is to traverse the length of Sumatra.
As for other countries, Spain is on our wish list.
Java is an overpopulated island. The population has about doubled since Theo first set foot here over 40 years ago. The effects of this are visible everywhere.
On public holidays popular destinations are crowded with domestic tourists. Unless of course you like to mix with these crowds, you better plan your journey to avoid these days, or seek out a remote destination on them.
Consult the General Tip on our Indonesia page for the holidays in Indonesia for the years 2013 and 2014.

Hi Theo, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Family : )
Thanks for your answer to 'Can I stay in Ubud and Sanur and travel around, or should I spend some nights in another place?'. I appreciate your advice.
It really depends of what kind of attractions you take an interest in. As I said you can do quite a lot in daytrips while staying in Ubud - in Ubud itself you can spend a couple of days: Monkey Forest, Ubud Museum and other art museums, and not to be missed a dance performance in the evening. See: Ubud Things to Do Tips by theo1006
But if you like to move around (and not go diving), my choice would be Tirtagangga water palace, near Amlapura in the east. The palace is best seen in the morning when the sun is in the east, and for this you have to stay over. See: "Tirtagangga water garden" - Bali Things to Do Tip by theo1006
There is both budget and luxury accommodation right on the edge or within the grounds of the water palace. While in the area you can also visit the somewhat similar Taman Ujung water palace. And on yor way there or back do Tenganan traditional village and Besakih temple - if these are on your list.
You're welcome
Thanks for your answer to 'Any beautiful places to see in Bandung other Kawah Putih?'. You've been a huge help.
Thanks for your answer to 'How to go to Ijen from Mt Bromo'. I appreciate your advice.

Can someone explain to me why the "liberal-biased main stream media" has yet to snuff out Governor Palin and her irresponsible name calling? She has direct connections to the Alaskan Independence Party, a pro-violence extremist group with ties to Iran, yet she gets to parade around and attempt to smear Obama as "anti-American"?
The articles in Salon, the Toronto Star and Huffington Post should be enough to shame Presidential Barbie into silence on the issue, and yet she blathers on.

OK. It was late, I was getting really agitated and used the wrong language in my posting. I'll attempt to provide a fuller explanation of it, without going off on a rant.
That the media reports it isn't their fault outright, but the 24-hour repeating of it can drive people into raving lunatics (myself included, on occasion). The idea that someone can come along and casually link two random people and turn one person into a terrorist based on the actions of the other person from forty years ago is practically the definition of a witch hunt. That we are currently hearing one side of it from Palin and not much from Obama/Biden tells me personally that yes, Palin really is crazy and/or petty. I would like to think that everyone is thinking this instead of believing the lie and imagining ways to "string up that terrorist Obama", but I just don't feel that confident.
It all just scares the crap out of me, but then it's fear and panic that are running the show right now anyway. What I really need to do is just try to unplug. Breathe deeply and calm down. I think I'll go play outside for a bit.
Thank you for the reality check.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
I believe that the plots in these novels are mostly there to provide a background for the machinations of our intrepid bounty hunter and her friends and relatives. The plot has been pretty well described in the 300+ previous reviews, so I'll just give it a very short discussion before getting into the part of this review that's the most fun for me.
In her position as a bounty hunter (officially bond enforcement agent), Stephanie is given the job of apprehending and bringing to court, the man who taught her everything she knows about the art of bounty hunting, the elusive man known as Ranger. Ranger, who is out on bond, has missed a court appearance. He is the suspect of choice for a murder. Stephanie, and everyone else, knows that bringing in Ranger is impossible -- no one captures Ranger. No one! But, it does seem that everyone wants to find him, the good guys, the bad guys, and a few intermediate semi-bad guys. This situation provides background for the true meat of the novel, Stephanie's adventures and misadventures along the way.
To give you a an idea of just how good a bounty hunter Stephanie is, consider the following: Most of the time Stephanie sets out on her apprehension tasks by leaving her gun at home in a cookie jar. When she does take it, it usually has only one bullet, or even none, because she has forgotten to buy more.
Read more ›In the sixth installment of the Stephanie Plum series, HOT SIX is yet another fun and exciting novel featuring this accident-prone bounty hunter. This time around, Grandmother Mazur has had a fight with Stephanie's father, so guess who is moving in with Stephanie?
Besides dealing with Grandmother Mazur's snoring at night, Stephanie's latest assignment is to track down her old buddy Ranger who is now a fugitive with the law. She also has two bumbling idiots following her wherever she goes, thinking that she would lead them to Ranger. Morelli is of course in the picture, and things are getting hot and heavy between the two of them. And Stephanie has also temporarily acquired a huge dog that cannot seem to stop eating.
I cannot express how much I enjoy this series. HOT SIX was yet another fun read and I am looking forward to the next one. Janet Evanovich, please do not stop writing these books!

Syrian troops pushed into a rebel-held town near the Lebanese border on Sunday, fighting house-to-house and bombing from the air as President Bashar Assad tried to strengthen his grip on a strategic strip of land running from the capital to the Mediterranean coast.
With the regime scoring gains on the battlefield, the U.S. and Russia could face an even tougher task persuading Assad and his opponents to attend talks on ending Syria's 26-month-old conflict. Washington and Moscow hope to start talks with an international conference as early as next month, though no date has been set.
Government forces launched the offensive on the town of Qusair just hours after Assad said in a newspaper interview that he'll stay in his job until elections — effectively rejecting an opposition demand that any talks on a political transition lead to his ouster.
Even though the regime and the main opposition group have not yet committed to attending the conference, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Sunday that he is hopeful it can take place "very soon," possibly in early June. In addition to the U.S. and Russia, he said he has spoken with Britain, France, China and other key parties.
Previous diplomatic initiatives have failed, in part because of divisions within the international community and because the regime and the armed opposition believed they could achieve more on the battlefield than in talks. Russia and the U.S. have backed opposite sides in Syria.
Still, neither regime forces nor rebel fighters have been able to create significant momentum since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011 and last year escalated into a full-fledged civil war.
The rebels control large rural areas in the north and east of the country, while Assad has successfully defended his hold on the capital, Damascus, the coastal area and parts of Aleppo, Syria's largest city.
Before Sunday's offensive, Qusair had been ringed by regime troops and fighters from the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, an Assad ally, for several weeks.
Qusair lies along a land corridor between Damascus and the Mediterranean coast, the heartland of Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. Many rebel fighters are Sunni Muslims and Qusair, overwhelmingly Sunni, had served as a conduit for shipments of weapons and supplies smuggled from Lebanon to the rebels.
Hadi Abdullah, a Qusair activist reached by Skype, said regime troops and Hezbollah fighters began shelling the town late Saturday, followed by airstrikes early Sunday that sent residents taking cover in basements. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group, said warplanes resumed bombing raids later Sunday.
By Sunday afternoon, regime forces had advanced into the town, engaging in house-to-house battles with rebel fighters, Abdullah said.
Syrian state media said Assad's troops took control of the main square, the area around the municipal building, a sports stadium and a local church. Syrian state TV said troops arrested rebel fighters who tried to flee Qusair dressed as civilians.
A government official said the regime left an escape road open to civilians, a claim denied by Abdullah, who said thousands of noncombatants were trapped in Qusair. "We tried to get civilians out four times. They are not allowing us," he said of regime forces.
The Observatory said 52 people were killed in Qusair, including 48 fighters, three women and a male civilian.
Abdullah said the air raids destroyed at least 17 houses. A field hospital was damaged last week, leaving the town with only one medical center which was unable to handle the influx of some 400 wounded Sunday, he said.
The main political opposition group, the Syrian National Coalition, said some 40,000 civilians are currently in Qusair and expressed concern for their safety. It urged the international community to step in to protect the lives of the civilians and called on the U.N. Security Council to denounce Hezbollah's involvement in the attack.
Six mortar rounds, apparently fired from Qusair, struck in nearby Lebanon, causing damage to a carpentry shop where a fire broke out, Lebanese security officials said. There were no reports of casualties.
In the northern Lebanese port city of Tripoli, clashes erupted between residents of a predominantly Alawite area and a majority Sunni neighborhood, Lebanon's National News Agency reported. It said at least five people were wounded in the fighting.
Events in Syria often raise tension among rival sects in neighboring Lebanon, particularly in Tripoli.
The Qusair offensive was just the latest indicator that the joint U.S.-Russian diplomatic initiative faces challenges.
Russia, despite its stated commitment to Syria peace talks, has reportedly delivered an advanced version of its Yakhont anti-ship cruise missiles to Syria, prompting U.S. complaints last week about an "ill-timed" step. Russia is a key political ally and arms supplier of the Assad regime, along with Iran.
The Obama administration, meanwhile, wants to avoid getting drawn into the Syria quagmire, despite pressure to find a way to end the bloodletting that has left more than 70,000 dead. U.S. concerns have been heightened by the growing dominance of Islamic militants among the fighters, including those linked to the al-Qaida terror network.
"For the U.S., (the conference) is mostly about postponing the tough decision-making Obama has been loath to get himself involved in, because he fears Syria will suck him in," said Peter Harling, a Syria expert at the International Crisis Group think tank.
In a further complication, Israel could get drawn in.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that he is ready to act if Syria attempts to ship advanced Iranian weapons to Hezbollah, saying that "we are prepared for every scenario." Earlier this month, Israel struck twice near Damascus, to intercept purported shipments to Hezbollah.

April 02, 2001, 9:27 AM — IF YOU HAVE been waiting for the digital revolution to eliminate the reams, if not mountains, of paper that pass through your departments and workgroups, it's time to face the facts: Paper is not going away. If anything, increased computer use probably has led to a rise in the number of documents that are printed, copied, collated, and mailed -- at significant cost to your company.
For sales, marketing, human resources, and other departments burdened by the hassle and costs of distributing paper documents, Adobe Systems has introduced an application, aptly named Acrobat Messenger, that transforms a Windows NT 4.0 workstation and attached sheet-fed scanner into an easy-to-use document-scanning and -distributing kiosk.
Messenger allows you to scan documents into Acrobat PDF format and e-mail them, fax them, or post them to the Web, helping to eliminate the cost and time associated with sending hard copy documents. In terms of ROI, the more paper you distribute in your daily operations, the more you stand to save by using Messenger. Your biggest savings will come from reduced shipping expenses (sorry, FedEx). Of course, because electronic documents can be delivered immediately, you'll also gain from faster workflow.
A third benefit is that Messenger allows you to create an archiving system of PDF files, thanks to the included Apache Web server and OCR (optical character recognition) software. Although each scanned document appears exactly like the original, allowing you to preserve handwritten notes and signatures, all of the text is searchable using Acrobat Reader. Because Messenger offers a complete solution to the corporate paper problem, I gave it a score of Very Good.
Simple scanning and sending
Messenger's scanning and delivery functions are seamlessly integrated into a very easy-to-use interface. Anyone with rudimentary mouse skills can scan documents using Messenger and save them directly to a networked desktop system, send them as an e-mail attachment or as a fax, or post them to Messenger's built-in Web server.

NUHW Trounces SEIU 283-13 to Win Santa Rosa Election
by Randy Shaw' Dec. 21' 2009
The National Union of Health Workers (NUHW) has won a landmark victory over SEIU for the right to represent non-union workers at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. The vote was 283 for NUHW, 263 for No Union, 13 for SEIU, with 17 challenged ballots. The challenges are not expected to alter the outcome.
NUHW has now won organized labor�s biggest hospital election victory of 2009, overcoming a joint �No Union� campaign mounted by management and SEIU. SEIU�s full-page newspaper ads, mailers, and visits to workers resulted in a per vote cost greatly exceeding that of New York�s Mayor Bloomberg, who at least won his election. Many factors led to NUHW�s win, ranging from a strong worker committee, to active support from the North Bay Labor Council and area religious leaders. Former UFW activist Fred Ross Jr., who spent much of the ten days prior to the election helping NUHW, saw in the victory a parallel to the UFW�s success against the well-financed Teamsters in the 1970�s: �NUHW had dedicated organizers surviving on stipends and living off the land through meals from workers and community supporters; SEIU had folks flown in from Ohio and elsewhere who had no real commitment or connection to the workers.� The UFW connection was heightened when Dolores Huerta visited workers on the first evening of voting, and then returned to the hospital at 6:00am the next day to urge the morning shift to back NUHW.
Election Night Rollercoaster
I�ve sat through a lot of election cliffhangers, but the scenario at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital as the votes came in last Friday night was almost surreal. With nearly a third of ballots counted, NUHW and No Union were tied at 160 with SEIU at 13. The NLRB then changed the way the votes were counted, so that instead of announcing votes one by one randomly, they had separated the votes for each side into piles and then delivered the results � without telling the crowd outside the overflowed counting room about this change.
So when NUHW leaped to a 220-160 lead, its supporters � which comprised the entire crowd � assumed that the votes of certain pro-union departments had come in, and that victory was at hand. But it seemed odd that �No Union� had not picked up a single vote, and the crowd soon learned that the NUHW pile was being counted ahead of voters rejecting any union.
Once the �No Union� votes were announced, NUHW�s lead fell to 248-245. �No Union� then went ahead 263- 250, and many thought all the NUHW ballots had been counted and that defeat was imminent (apparently management inside the counting room reached the same conclusion, and was ecstatic.)
But as if from a contrived television movie ending, the last batch of announced ballots went 33-0 for NUHW, bringing shrieks of joy to the crowd. NUHW had done what many saw as impossible, defeating powerful anti-union campaigns from three forces: the �Memorial Bridge� committee of anti-union workers, management, and SEIU.
Since the challenged ballots involve the NLRB�s questioning employees� hiring date for voting eligibility, both management and NUHW sought prompt resolution after Friday night�s count. But SEIU refused, stating it �was not prepared to resolve the challenges at this time.�
So while the NLRB will not likely certify the victory until January, SEIU�s delaying tactics will not change the outcome. NUHW now heads to Los Angeles with momentum for elections against SEIU at Kaiser hospitals in January, and some of its Santa Rosa organizers left for LA immediately after the vote count concluded.
Why NUHW Won
As Fred Ross, Jr.�s quote above indicates, NUHW out-organized, out-strategized, and out-worked SEIU. But it became abundantly clear as I watched Election Day events that the main reason for NUHW�s success was this: pro-NUHW workers and staff wanted it more. SEIU gave no impression it ever cared about SRMH workers, using them as mere cannon fodder in its larger war against NUHW.
Pro-NUHW workers desperately wanted to be part of a democratic union, and the NUHW staff � unlike SEIU�s Ohio-based leader who was only in Santa Rosa because he was assigned there � were involved in the campaign because they so truly believe in their mission that they have effectively worked for much of 2009 as volunteers.
Anyone talking to Gabby Martinez, a NUHW supporter at St. Joseph�s Mission Hospital in Orange County who spent the last two weeks on the campaign, soon realizes that this fight in Santa Rosa was not about money. Nor was it about power or ego. Rather, it was about workers passionate for respect, dignity and fairness in the workplace.
That�s why SEIU�s relentless attacks on NUHW leader Sal Rosselli, and his allegedly �corrupt� allies, fell flat. SEIU never focused on what workers cared about, while NUHW spent all of its time focusing on how a union could help workers lives.
The North Bay Labor Council understood that it was NUHW who truly cared about the workers, which is why it
urged SEIU
to leave the campaign.
The religious community, led by
Monsignor John Brenkle
and Father Ray Decker, also saw NUHW as the proper representative of workers.
written a book
praising SEIU for adopting the UFW strategy of building community and religious alliances, I know of no campaign prior to Santa Rosa where SEIU expressly fought their usual allies. This alone should have told SEIU leadership that it was on the wrong side of this fight.
A Disaster for SEIU
After a relentless campaign attacking NUHW, its staff, and its very right to call itself a union, SEIU lost 283-13 among workers desiring a union. It�s going to take a heckuva spinmeister for SEIU to explain to workers in other hospitals why they should trust SEIU over NUHW when those at SRMH clearly did not.
SEIU�s brand is badly tarnished in California, both from its fight against NUHW and its failed struggle against UNITE HERE. The union has alienated multiple local labor councils, threatened John Burton (the state�s leading progressive and union hero), and is burning bridges with the religious community.
SEIU paid a steep price for its all-out campaign in Santa Rosa, and should have withdrawn from the election months ago, as many urged. Now, it has undermined its ability to compete against NUHW for the nearly 9000 other non-union workers in the St. Joseph's Health System chain, and will be under statewide pressure to withdraw from contesting NUHW's organizing rights in these facilities.
How does a union spend that much money and only win 2% of the total vote? And only 2% despite multiple attack pieces on NUHW, while the victorious union only could afford a single glossy leaflet during election week (the NUHW piece was designed at no cost by San Francisco political consultant Eric Jaye, and explained why workers needed a union and only referenced SEIU as a purple grinch in the corner)?
NUHW spokesperson Jon Borsos thinks he has the answer. He described NUHW�s win as a �tremendous victory for democratic unionism, as health care workers stood up to corporate health care and to corporate unionism.� Longtime SRMH union supporter Nancy Timberlake echoed Borsos, adding �to win against a behemoth like SEIU and our employer�s own anti-union campaign is true vindication and a true miracle.�
Tis the season for miracles, something SEIU also overlooked when it successfully delayed the election until a week before Christmas.

Hey mr I know what easter pizza is .
Your rite so we are not all perfect , but we could help those less fortunate .
My brother is a high school history teacher. I have seen some of the reports his students write and it looked to me like they were doing just fine. I think when it's required they will do what they're supposed to but when it comes time to text it's whatever is fastest.
Changes in language don't scare me at all. In fact it's kind of exciting to have "official" new words in our language every year. I don't mind that nobody double-spaces after a sentence anymore. I don't care if they spell something phonetically as long as their intent is clear. The idea of knocking out a few useless letters from a word seems like a good plan to me. Why do we need that U after Q every single time? What good is that C in BACK. Back could be bak and it would just as clear and easy to read.
But what do I know? I'm just a high school drop-out.
Oh hush! Don't talk like that.
I only care what's in someones heart, I usually have enough intelligence to work out what someone is trying to say.
They most likely are proficient in the English language, only the spell check on their android is a bit loopy, like mine. I have to double check everything I write to be sure people will understand what was written. :)
Atleast they can speak and can understand than they dont even one word. Right.........?
Not everyone on this site is a native English speaker. English is one of the hardest languages in the world (especially to write), so cut them some slack. But yeah, in general, even among native speakers there is a lot of terrible spelling and grammar!

Whereas I was thinking: Two of my most favorite things, hacked machines and silly-fied use of DSP software.
I also don't mind the harmless spiritual ritual, particularly when delivered with this pastor's self-deprecating levity. It's the nasty ones such as crusade, jihad and human sacrifice that bother me. Belief in ghosts doesn't phase me as long as they don't use it as an outlet for evil.
Auto-Tune and religion are merely human inventions, it's how they're leveraged that counts.

Hmm, my last eloquent comment of "….." was in response to another comment that disappeared. Weird.

Chain-weighting: the new approach to measuring GDP
Recent dramatic changes in the U.S. economy's structure have compelled BEA to revise the way in which it measures real GDP levels and growth. By switching to a chain-weighted method of computing aggregate growth--which relies heavily on current price information--BEA will be able to measure GDP growth more accurately by eliminating upward biases in the incoming data.Download Info

Rita Ora has taken the hearts of many fans over the last few months – including celebrities such as Conor Maynard. He reveals in the video below that he has a major crush on Rita.
When asked whether Conor will try to get her number, he responded with, "To get her number? Rita's number? I've got her number for a long time! I've known her for years, we go way back!"
He also adds that he 'fancies' Rita Ora's sister, but she wouldn't be too happy to hear that (as he giggles away).

The octagon house: a home for allReprints the mid-nineteenth-century work that extolled the merits of and provided advice on constructing an octagonally-shaped house |
What people are saying - Write a review
LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingI can't imagine building a house based solely on this book but many people did. Between 1848 when the first edition of this book was published and the Civil War, many octagon houses were built. Orson Fowler lived in his own octagon house between Route 9 and the Hudson River in Dutchess County for a relatively short time before moving to a more conventional (and cheaper) house. It was used as a boarding house and a school before being abandoned and vandalized. It is a testament to the sturdiness of the construction that local authorities finally had to dynamite the house to raze it. There is no longer any sign of the house on Fowler Road. Fowler claimed that the octagon house was cheaper to build and healthier to live in than a four-sided house.
LibraryThing Review
User Review - LibraryThingThis is a reprint of the 1853 book: A Home for All, or The Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building. The style was quite popular in the early to mid 1800s. The book consists chiefly of various arguments including both aesthetic and practical, for the superiority of the octagon over any other style of house. The aesthetic arguments are, as such things tend to be, somewhat humorous to later generations. People fond of the picturesque and the quaint would probably not agree with Fowler's argument that a dome is obviously more attractive than gables. The book is well-illustrated with 19 black-and-white photographs of octagonal buildings and 32 figures, including the floor plans of a variety of houses, including several different arrangements of rooms in octagon houses. It would be very interesting to see this re-issued with color photographs of octagon houses replacing and supplementing the original text and illustrations.

Wildcats boast easiest non-conference football schedule
If the Arizona Wildcats struggle to win games in 2013, it probably won't be due to their out of conference slate.
According to CBS Sports' Bruce Feldman, Rich Rodriguez's team has the softest non-conference schedule in the land.
Year Two of the Rich Rod Era sees the Wildcats face two of their three non-conference opponents coming off eight-win seasons, but it's FCS Northern Arizona and Texas-San Antonio, which lost its other four games by at least 20. Arizona's other non-con game is on the road but it's at UNLV, which was 2-11 last season.
Last season, Arizona's non-conference schedule included Toledo, Oklahoma State and South Carolina State -- all at home, with Arizona winning all three games. Including Pac-12 play they faced five top-25 teams, and they went 2-3 in those contests.
Along with their three non-conference games, the Wildcats will also square off with Pac-12 foes Utah, UCLA, Washington State and Oregon at home, along with Washington, USC, Colorado, California and Arizona State on the road.

Ludus are one of the less-known Manchester bands of the post-punk era. Formed in 1978 by former Manicured Noise guitarist Arthur Kadmon, the group initially consisted of former Nosebleeds drummer Philip Tolman, bassist Willie Trotter, and vocalist Linder (Linda Mulvey), a Manchester scenester who designed record sleeves and posters for Buzzcocks and Magazine. She also became a close friend of Morrissey, who was significantly inspired by her. Ludus debuted on Richard Boon's New Hormones label in 1980 with The Visit, a 12" single. Another single, My Cherry Is in Sherry, followed months later. By the time of 1981's five-song Pickpocket cassette, the band's membership changed to Linder, guitarist/bassist Ian Devine, and drummer Graham Dids. The cassette was followed with the Mother's Hour single and the debut LP The Seduction. Danger Came Smiling, the band's sophomore LP, appeared in August of 1982. The confrontational Linder, who wasn't foreign to taking the stage donning a dildo and slices of meat (her menstrual egg timer was given a catalog number by Manchester's infamous Factory label), eventually became less involved with music to be further involved with the visual arts. ~ Andy Kellman

Axis Boats is focused on providing riders and their families with uncomplicated style and big-wake performance — all at a low price point. That's why the Axis A22 includes everything you want in a wakeboard boat — and some things you didn't even know you wanted — at a price that won't slam your budget. We know all you want to do is look good while you ride, so the A22 keeps it simple with style and performance. It's an undeniably sick-looking ride, featuring an aggressively angular bow, shards of colorful gelcoat accents and a one-of-a-kind rear-sweeping wakeboard tower that's as easy on the eyes as it is to collapse.
