MBTA sacks five more managers in alleged mileage scheme
The MBTA has fired five more managers for their alleged roles in doctoring mileage records to avoid regularly scheduled bus inspections, bringing to 13 the total number terminated since the scheme was made public last month, T officials said today.
Six others have received three-day suspensions for lesser roles, meaning 19 superintendents, supervisors, and foremen have been implicated -- or more than 1 out of every 4 of the managers overseeing the 600 technicians and laborers responsible with maintaining buses that transport hundreds of thousands of riders daily.
MBTA General Manager Richard A. Davey Jr. said the T has concluded a three-month investigation and officials do not anticipate more firings, barring new information. He also said the MBTA has largely caught up with the backlog that resulted from the manipulated records, which caused more than 200 buses to go as long as 35,000 miles without being checked for mechanical problems or receiving routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations.
"We've really turned over every stone, if you will, and I think we have a very good handle on what happened and new procedures in place to make sure it won't happen again," said Davey, who took over as general manager in March, midway through the internal audit and investigation. "I think the message is clear now for all of our employees that this behavior is unacceptable, and if they see it, I ask them to bring it to management's attention for us to take action."
T officials have said the deferred inspections and maintenance did not cause known safety problems -- in part because buses are visually inspected by drivers each day -- but likely contributed to poor performance and delays on some bus routes.
Six other foremen received suspensions for lesser roles, such as failing to log out of the computerized maintenance system, allowing others to then manipulate records, T officials said.
Davey characterized the fired employees as a small group that perpetuated a scheme at three of the T's nine bus facilities: Arborway, Charlestown, and Southampton Street.
But one of the fired superintendents said they were taking the fall for a widely acknowledged practice in which maintenance workers put off time-consuming inspections and service because of top-down pressure to keep buses running.
"Everybody knew, everybody knew," said the employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is contemplating legal action. "That's the mentality, that's the culture, that's the way it's been -- and to fire people because that's the way it's been done is crazy."
The terminated superintendent said it was common to treat serious problems immediately but postpone preventive maintenance inspections and service -- recommended by manufacturers and required by the T every 6,000 miles -- should it get in the way of calls for vehicles. He said most division managers knew about it, but only some actively falsified the records.
The T uses about 800 of its 1,050 buses on a typical day but presses more into service when subway or commuter rail routes are shut down because of emergencies or track repairs.
"If you're a foreperson and you get that call that the Green Line is washed out and they need every bus, they're going to tell you to put it out if it's usable," said the former superintendent. "They can't have all those people waiting out on the streets."

Here are the only issues/concerns that strike me:
Acacia (ah-kay-see-ah) - I would be concerned about pronunciation issues
Drusilla - this one strikes me as a little too out there and also…it just makes me picture an unattractive (in every sense of the word) girl who's destined to be an emo/goth type
Maude - I'm not sure this would be an issue outside the US (because I don't know whether it was shown elsewhere), but Maude was the title and main character of a tv show that was somewhat controversial and that, to a great extent, made its main character a caricature of a limousine liberal
Viola - just not wild about the idea of naming a child after a musical instrument
I really like some of your other names and just have to add:
Antoinette nn Etta - I'd actually like to see Antoinette used more than it is (it's one of the only names ending in "ette" that I actually like). Off with their heads, I say!TTCWhy yes, I probably should be working!

Genre: Rock
How come skinhead oi boys have no work
I bet if they did they'd go berserk
Shut up about the working class
A job is no big deal
You all look like Hitler youth - good job
That's some appeal
You oi-boys and oi-girls have quite the scene
At shows you love to gang up and get mean
The ones I know were racist then
But that's all in the past
Excuse my not believing you
It's happened much too fast
Little rich working class oi boy
Little rich working class oi boy
Little rich working class oi boy
You look and act and talk like Nazi goons
If you truly cared you'd change your tune
The aura you exude tells everyone just how you feel
I don't buy your bullshit boys
Sorry, there's no deal

Stream-of-Consciousness Notes 2011 BCS Championship Fourth Quarter
By Pete Fiutak - Auburn Wins The National Title - CFN Analysis - The Fizzling Oregon O - CFN Analysis - The Auburn D On Fire - CFN Analysis - The Better Team Won - CFN Analysis - The Duck D Did Its Part - 2011 BCS Champ. SOC Notes - Pregame - 2011 BCS Champ. SOC Notes - 1st Quarter - 2011 BCS Champ. SOC Notes - 2nd Quarter - 2011 BCS Champ. SOC Notes - 3rd Quarter - 2nd and 9 for Auburn on its own 25. - Oregon is only eight points down, even though it seems like Auburn is in full control of the game. One stop. One takeaway. One big play, and this changes. - Michael Dyer is taking over the game pumping the ball up the middle. Oregon's defensive tackles are getting ripped apart. - Cam wants the home run. He keeps trying to look down the field for the one big play, but Darvin Adams slipped and Newton had to throw it away. - The key to this game has been manageable third and shorts for the Tigers ... - But Newton misses with Adams on what would've gone for a long gain. Auburn is dominating but it can't put the game away. - Oregon is getting badly outplayed, but it's one big play, one big score away from being right back in this. - Ooooh. Cliff Harris is fearless on his punt return attempt and got blasted. Oregon on its own 16 - This is actually a great game, but I guarantee that dumb media people all over America who aren't into college football have fallen asleep. Just wait for the backlash of idiocy tomorrow complaining there weren't more points. - Oregon hasn't trailed in the fourth quarter all year. - Darron Thomas can't seem to find any sort of a groove, and with the running game not working, Oregon is living on one big play. - Holding. 2nd and 18 is an issue. - 13 minutes to play. - HORSE COLLAR? Nick Fairley grabs LaMichael James by the collar, but it isn't called. Now it's 3rd and 18. - The throw of his life. Thomas holds up against the fearsome pass rush, Josh Bynes flies into the backfield, and Thomas connects with David Paulson for a 33-yard game. That's going to wake Thomas up and get him going. - 12 minutes. - Ohhhhhh. Zac Ethridge almost came up with a pick and should've gotten an offensive pass interference call on Jeff Maehl. - 3rd and 8. Oregon can't survive with too many more third and longs. - Auburn's D looks fresh and fine. - Auburn dials up the pressure, sends Josh Bynes into the backfield, and the play gets blown up. - 11 minutes to play. - 4th and 8 ... Chiiiiip. Kick it. Don't think ... - Here comes the punt. - Has Oregon been hit with a delay of game penalty this year? - Awful punt. Auburn gets it on the 21. Auburn on its own 21 - Cam, Gus, Gene. This is it. This is the national championship. You are one long drive, and one score of any kind away from winning it all. Use the power game, bleed the clock, and pound your way to a title. - Chip, Casey, Kenny. This is it. Sell out and make Cam connect on the deep ball that hasn't been there all night. Make him try to go for the ring with one throw and try to come up with the pick. - Onterio McCalebb makes an appearance and gets dropped for a loss. - Cam doesn't care a lick about the Oregon pass rush. - Why aren't you running it? You could've easily have had 3rd and 6 with a run up the gut and now it's 3rd and 12. - Cam, you're a Heisman winner. It's time to show why ... - And he does with a run for a first down before getting drilled. - Oregon, realize what just happened. It's going to be a handoff Dyer up the middle. - Ten minutes. - Handoff Dyer up the middle, and Oregon can't stop it on a six-yard gain. - 3rd and five after two conservative runs. Cam has an easy throw to Mario Fannin who makes his first play of the night. - Oregon has to guess, and it keeps guessing wrong. - Eight minutes. - Oregon gets a stop to make it 2nd and 12, but now it's seven minutes. - No, no, no, no, no. Auburn goes for a pass in space, and Newton gets rid of the ball, the clock stops, and now it's 3rd and 12. Run it and it's under five. - And now Auburn goes deep, Terrell Zachery catches it out of bounds, and instead of it being under four, there's 6:42 left and Oregon is STILL alive. Oregon on its own 20 - Alright, Oregon, enough is enough. You have the best quick-strike attack in the nation. Act like it. - Oregon defense, you did your job. Auburn has 19 points. - The line is Auburn -2.5. Why do I see a Tiger win but no cover? - Darron Thomas has thrown for 295 yards, but he has to be smart, and ... - He has to stop telegraphing his passes. He's locking on to his target and Auburn jumped all over the first two throws. - Jeff Maehl is awesome. Thomas throws a strike, Auburn misses the tackle, and Oregon gets a first down. - Six minutes. - Oregon, don't ignore the run. There's still time. - Maehl slips his way to a nice gain and a manageable third and three. Oregon is on its 36. - Antoine Carter destroys Thomas, and here comes the punt. - Don't forget how big that goal line stand was last quarter. Auburn on its own 31 - Five minutes. - Someone should be fired if Newton and Dyer don't run this up the middle for a few plays. - Time out Oregon. 2nd and 9. - FUMBLE! FUMBLE! FUMBLE! Casey Matthews popped the ball out of Newton's hands and ... - ... penalty ... - Personal foul on Oregon, but the Ducks still get the ball. - Oregon defense, you've done your job. Oregon on its own 44 - Auburn, you might want to cover Jeff Maehl. - A draw to James would open up big. - OHHHHHHH. Josh Bynes almost came up with the pick. RIGHT IN HIS HANDS. - Nick Fairley has cemented a top three selection. - Great call. Thomas gets on the move and runs for a nice game for a 3rd and 5. Two downs to get five, you can run it. - Thomas had Lavasier Tiuinei open and missed him. Fourth down, 4:18 to play. - James is one on one with Josh Bynes ... SEE THIS, Darron ... - D.J. Davis catch and run to get down to the ten. - Four minutes. - Back in the red zone. Oregon. THROW THE BALL INTO THE END ZONE. FOR ME. PLEASE. - Offsides Auburn. Down to the two. 2nd and 1. - Nope. James is stuffed. - Three minutes. - MAEHL. END ZONE. TRY IT!!! - OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!. Thomas has to take a time out. That's it. That means Oregon HAS to score and get two here now that it has just one time out left. - Lavaier Tuinei is 6-5, 206 pounds. Lob it up to him. - TOUCHDOWN!!! Thomas makes the right read and pitches it to James who cuts it up for a score. - There are a LOT of ticket holders right now concerned about that half a point and desperately hoping for a ... - GOT IT!!! Maehl in the end zone! Thank you. I feel cleansed. - Again, Cam, you're the Heisman winner. 2:33. Two time outs. You have a clutch field goal kicker in Wes Byrum. It's time to cement your legacy. Auburn 19 ... Oregon 19 Auburn on its own 25 - I don't have a dog in this fight and I'm about have an accident. I can't imagine what Tiger and Duck fans are going through. - Nice, easy throw to the outside, first down ... - Wasn't Michael Dyer down?! He rolled over a Duck defender, didn't touch the ground, and kept on running. - Does a wrist equal a knee? - It's being reviewed, but Kelly signaled a time out. That should be it for the Duck time outs, but it's not - Weirdest big play in national title history. - Two minutes to play. - His knee didn't go down ... - Play stands. A 37-yard run. - Auburn has it on the 22. - Dyer up the middle across the 20. - Line is 2.5. - One minute to play. - Newton down to the 16. 3rd and 4. - Wes Byrum, your table is ready. - Kick it now on third down in case there's a bad snap. - Or else Michael Dyer can be an Auburn legend plowing in for a score ... was he down? - Ten seconds to play. - Uhhhhhh, ESPN. You have 72 networks, 1,239 cameras, and 3D. WHERE'S THE GOAL LINE CAMERA? - Down at the one should be the call. Ten seconds left, Cam, pound it once and let Oregon slide off the Teflon. - Auburn has two timeouts left. - Down at the half-yard line. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING KICKING A FIELD GOAL?! YOU DON'T NEED TO!!! - Two timeouts, a 250-pound quarterback ... WHY ARE YOU TAKING A CHANCE AT A MISSED SNAP?! - And Gus Malzahn shows why he's the coach of the year by lobbying for one shot at the end zone. - Worst ... sneak ... ever. - Now, that's the worst of all worlds. You don't really try for the TD, and now you HAVE to hit the field goal. If you're not going to give it an honest shot, then yeah, you should've tried the field goal with ten seconds to play in case the snap sucked. - And for the national title ... - Auburn wins the BCS national championship. - Just like everyone thought it would happen. - YEEEEEEEEESH.

These forks are really nice and sturdy. You can do so much to them they are durable and a good option if you don't want the plastic look.
Chana M. Posted on 02/24/2014
Bought these with the knives and spoons for my daughter's wedding. They are cute and go well with her rustic/western theme. They also go well with the Bambu plates. More importantly, they are waaaay cheaper than renting! Haven't eaten with them yet, but none broke during shipping even though they come in a plastic bag and were rattling around in a far too large box with 4 heavy small boxes!
Steven T. Posted on 02/05/2014

Cece B. from Cece Brune Posted on 06/27/2013
These wooden forks are so unique. Our customers often comment on them. They have a slight concave, so they are a little like a spork.

My fiance and I ordered these forks after seeing a similar product in a local store. They go perfectly with our Eco-Friendly Wedding theme! We received an email from Customer Service after our order was placed that they were out of stock, but they received the product and filled our order within the week. The quality and look is exactly what we expected and we can't wait to use these at our September wedding!
Nicole H. Posted on 05/22/2013
the fork tines are a little shorter than I had imagined but overall they fork works fine. I have not tried it with salad yet, but it seems to pickup pretty well.
Samantha S. Posted on 05/15/2013
We bought these as cake forks for a rustic BBQ wedding and decided to write phrases on the handles for something fun to do. They were perfect for what we wanted, only a couple out of the 100 in the pack had any imperfections, otherwise, they are just as advertised and are a great alternative to plastic for the eco-friendly minded. Arrived in 2 days, and easy online ordering makes this a pleasure to do.
Lynne M. from Lynne Posted on 04/18/2013
this is the best price for the case, I look for these everywhere because of how amazing they are for parties and I have yet to find better pricing. Eco friendly and very durable
Florencia M. from Doula Flor Miami Posted on 03/04/2013
At Rock River Fresh & Local Restaurants, we take care in sourcing our ingredients and our supplies to purchase local and to purchase eco friendly. I researched our take out cutlery choice thoroughly, as I was concerned about the environmental impact this choice would have in our beautiful Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Hiawatha National Forest area we do business in. I am very happy with this decision. I don't have to worry about whether or not this item will biodegrade or compost. It's wood. The items are high quality, serve the purpose for food consumption, and can immediately return to our planet. What more can you ask for?
Patricia N. from Rock River Lunch Bag Posted on 02/02/2013
I bought these for an art project to make little puppets because they are wooden and a good size for children. Came out great, and very inexpensive for an art project.
Ariella K. Posted on 10/18/2012
The color in the batch of forks that I bought was very attractive. The feel of the wood is pretty smooth and the packaging was in perfect condition.
Catherine H. Posted on 10/06/2012
These just arrived today and they are so cute! I got the spoons and knifes to match for my wedding and I couldnt be happier can't wait for my guests reaction!
Zach K. Posted on 10/01/2012
All my customers just loves the wooden utensils! They are always asking where I get them from...of course I say WEBstaurant.com! I had already ordered the spoons and I just had to get the forks as well!
Desiree T. from Desiree's Desserts Posted on 09/17/2012
These scream picnic!!! Great disposable forks for outdoor events! Nice for tasting in a kitchen too! Affordable and a great alternative to the common plastic ones!!
Eric K. Posted on 05/11/2012
These wooden forks are just great! On top of being better for the environment than traditional disposable cutlery, they are cute too! You can personalize them or use them for a rustic wedding setting, and the price is great. Webstraurant is great, fast shipping and GREAT customer service!
Rita M. from Tulle & Twig Posted on 05/09/2012
These are sturdy and look nice. They work well. I think they can be used for all occasions. They mix well with the bamboo plates!
Amanda H. Posted on 04/23/2012
I love this product as I always feel terrible using disposable plastic utensils. You get a lot of these for a low price. I started keeping a bunch of them in my drawer at work so that I could set them out to be used for the cakes I shared instead of plastic.
Xiaolu H. from 6 Bittersweets Posted on 01/07/2012
I absolutely love these forks. I use them with the matching spoons and knives for a complete to go set. My customers love them and request them over the plastic alternative. Great product, and price.
Aaron h. from The new haven cafe Posted on 11/26/2011
If you can get past the handle resembling a tounge depresser, these are great! Our customers love that it's an easy switch to a greener store.
Deanna N. from Scratch Posted on 09/23/2011
I do cooking demos at a very eco-concious local farm market. People love they way they look and always ask where they can get them. They love that the wood is sustainably forested and the forks are biodegradable. I love the price and the matching spoons and knives!
Jonathan B. from Jonathan Bardzik at the Market Posted on 09/19/2011
These forks are really stylish and a great alternative to plastic cutlery. One thing I noticed was that they feel like a tongue depressor when they are used with dry foods. Some people may not like the feeling of the wood since it reminds them of the dentist !
Jesse C. from JAM Vegan Bakery Posted on 06/24/2011
These wooden utensils were perfect for our appetizer course at the event. Our clients loved them because they are attractive and functional and fun to use.
Praparat S. from Thai Gourmet House Posted on 03/29/2011
great style plus great for the environment. the function is no different from a regular plastic fork. we use it our restaurant instead for plastic. GO GREEN!!!

Someone could be a couple hundred million dollars richer after the Mega Millions drawing Tuesday night.
The jackpot total - $636 million – is the second largest in history. The largest was $656 million last year.
If no one wins on Tuesday, Friday's drawing could be upwards of $800 million. If no one wins that, Christmas Eve's drawing could be about one billion dollars.
Several people who bought tickets were feeling lucky, especially Ron Malkemus.
"My odds, probably one in 250 billion…Somebody's got to win it," he said. "I got the winning numbers already, but I'm buying more just in case, just for backup."
If only one person wins it Tuesday, their one-time cash option would total $341 million.

For several months Alaskans have been bombarded with concerted, corporate-generated television, radio and print advertising campaigns advocating a roll-back of oil taxes, support for development of the Pebble mineral prospect, and the defeat of an initiative for renewal of the state coastal zone management program.
More recently, corporate money has begun to flow to candidates for election to the state Senate who would break the coalition there that has so far successfully resisted the roll-back of ACES.
The money supporting the development of Pebble comes ultimately from the owning corporations: London-based Anglo American and Canadian-based Northern Dynasty Minerals, Ltd., an arm of the global conglomerate Hunter Dickinson. Funding for the ACES roll-back comes primarily from the dominant oil companies operating in Alaska, ConocoPhillips, Exxon and BP, who also oppose the coastal zone management initiative.
As these global corporate giants seek to shape Alaska politics, a closer look at their nature provides insight into their motivation. The ultimate goal of corporations, their raison d'etre, is to generate profit for their shareholders; that is the fiduciary responsibility of their managers. The managers also have a legal responsibility to operate within the law, though the law can often be generously elastic.
On April 21, 2010, as workers on the Deepwater Horizon oil-drilling rig were completing an exploration well into the Macondo prospect, an offshore oil-and-gas drilling block in the Gulf of Mexico, the well erupted, the rig burned and sank, and the well poured an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf over nearly three months before it was capped and sealed. The event created the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. The national commission on the Gulf spill in its report to the president issued Jan. 11, 2011, wrote that the Deepwater accident was wholly avoidable, that it was the result of corporate irresponsibility regarding risk management.
The commissioners observed that the disaster necessitated "the oil and gas industry's reinvention: sweeping reforms that accomplish no less than a fundamental transformation of its safety culture."
That finding was particularly arresting when compared to the conclusions reached by the Alaska Oil Spill Commission which investigated the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989. The ASOC chair, Walt Parker, wrote that the Exxon spill was the result of "bad seamanship, bad management and bad luck," and could have been prevented "by an advanced oil transportation system designed to minimize human error." In fact, Parker wrote, a deeper responsibility lay in company policies that permitted "excessive work hours leading to officer and crew fatigue, route shortcuts to save time, and a general misunderstanding in the maritime industry of the overall advantages, disadvantages and effects of automation."
Neither the managers of the Deepwater project nor of Exxon's Alaska operations intended to endanger lives, property or the environment. They were highly competent, conscionable people who would not drive the family automobile without putting their four-year olds into proper car seats. But corporate organization gives people license to justify actions they would not undertake as individuals, legal and moral cover for imprudence. The justification is profit, the ultimate corporate responsibility.
In Alaska, Exxon, BP and Conoco Phillips, and Anglo American and Northern Dynasty, seek freedom, freedom from taxation and from environmental regulation, because both constrain their potential profitability. And the managers of those corporations seem willing to take risks with the environment and to undertake to shape Alaska's taxing policy in the interest of that freedom, risks and actions they might not endorse as individuals.
This is the same freedom the Alaska canned salmon industry demanded in the mid-1950s when they staunchly and stridently opposed Alaska statehood, freedom from taxation and from environmental regulation, with no obligation to Alaska's people. Former Alaska Gov. Ernest Gruening and Territorial Delegate Bob Bartlett called them out on that freedom, reminding them that freedom is not license to act irresponsibly and immorally, just as the Alaska oil spill and the Deepwater investigating commissioners identified and labeled modern corporate irresponsibility.
We should not be so beguiled by the idea of freedom in today's Alaska that we forget the nature and motivation of the corporations that seek to develop our resources and shape our politics.
Steve Haycox is professor of history emeritus at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Albany, N.Y. • Sexual harassment accusations against a New York assemblyman that emerged over the summer are hardly unusual in a state capital.
That's especially true in Albany, which has a history of sexual misconduct by lawmakers.
But what began as a relatively tame scandal surrounding Democratic Assemblyman Vito Lopez has pierced the veil of secrecy. It's now the subject of review by a state ethics committee and a criminal probe.
A secret six-figure payoff to the accusers with taxpayer money was approved by Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
How effectively the Joint Commission on Public Ethics handles the politically charged case will reflect on the man who created it as part of his campaign promise to "clean up" Albany. That's Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, long considered a possible presidential candidate in 2016.

There is no record of the architect. ... Much furniture and equipment was brought back from Pensacola, Florida, when General Jackson was appointed Governor of the Floridas. In 1824 the chapel was built, most of the work having been done while General Jackson was in Washington as senator from Tennessee. The Hermitage is owned by the state of Tennessee and is under the control of the Ladies' Hermitage Association.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.

Huernia | |
Huernia macrocarpa var. penzigii | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Plantae |
(unranked): | Angiosperms |
(unranked): | Eudicots |
(unranked): | Asterids |
Order: | Gentianales |
Family: | Apocynaceae |
Subfamily: | Asclepiadoideae |
Tribe: | Stapeliae |
Genus: | Huernia |
Species | |
Some 60, see text |
The genus Huernia (family Asclepiadaceae) consists of some (30-)60 species of stem succulents from Eastern and Southern Africa. The flowers are five-lobed, usually somewhat more funnel- or bell-shaped than in the closely related genus Stapelia, and often striped vividly in contrasting colours or tones, some glossy, others matt and wrinkled depending on the species concerned. To pollinate, the flowers attract flies by emitting a scent similar to that of carrion. The genus is considered close to the genera Stapelia and Hoodia. The name is in honour of Justin Heurnius (1587–1652) a Dutch missionary who is reputed to have been the first collector of South African Cape plants. His name was actually mis-spelt by the collector.
Various species of Huernia are considered famine food by the inhabitants of Konso special woreda in southern Ethiopia. The local inhabitants, who call the native species of this genus baqibaqa indiscriminately, eat it with prepared balls of sorghum; they note that baqibaqa tastes relatively good and has no unpleasant side-effects when boiled and consumed. As a result, local farmers encouraged it to grow on stone walls forming the terraces, where it does not compete with other crops.[1]

Captalism, its blessings, and its discontents
Some of us get paid to spend money because capitalism likes us. The credit card offers a little kickback and at the end of the month. The same thing happens to money that isn't spent. The bank account (or whatever) pays interest. Stocks pay dividends. And while we're at it, maybe we can spend a bit more upfront on insulation or fancy lightbulbs to see some huge savings later. It's not that we did anything to earn this money. It's just that we have some money, and we have an economic system that says that if you don't really need money, you can have a bit more money. And if you really don't need money, you can have a lot more money.
On the opposite end, it does the opposite thing. Companies demand that payments be made by certified check or money order. It costs money to spend money. Accounts with a negative balance collect interest. The nastier the financial situation, the nastier the costs of being in that situation. We have an economic system that feels that if you're struggling maybe the playing field needs to be tilted a bit more.
This isn't news to most people. It's just sort of something we live with. But whenever we're discussing policy, I think we need to keep two things in mind.
- In this particular division, it's not the 99% vs. the 1%. Most of the people reading this are probably on the winning side of this slanted playing field.
- We don't have a planned economy—but our economy does resemble one that was planned by a complete asshole. And, in a way, it sort of was. I mean, things didn't get this way by coincidence.

"This is the first recipe I have tried from the Food Channel that did not turn out as expected. The cake did not rise in the middle. While outside of the cake appeared to turn out okay, overall this was a huge disappointment. I reviewed the instructions to make sure I didn't miss anything so would be anxious to hear how others found this recipe...""

Akins, Rhett / Barnes, Max T. / Unknown Co-Writer
We've been standing on the edge of something
Bigger than the both of us.
And neither one of us had said it yet,
But tonight I got my courage up.
I was just about to let the L word rip,
When you stopped me in my tracks.
Oh, you came right out and said I Love You.
Well all I had to say to that, is..
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/rhett-akins-right-back-atcha-lyrics.html ]
Right back atcha,
Same to you.
Ditto Darlin,
I love you too.
The feelin's mutual,
It goes both ways you know.
It's reciprocal,
Emotion's identical.
I'm glad that you feel the same
Cause I was about to say those very words.
But darlin, since you said 'em first,
Right back atcha.
Girl I had everything worked out
It was right on the tip of my tongue.
Well I was waitin on that special moment,
But you beat me to the punch.
Yeah you took the words right out of my mouth
You must have been readin my mind.
Cause when you told me that you loved me,
Well I had only one reply, that's right
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Yeah right back atcha
Oh yeah
Ditto darlin
I love you too.
Right back atcha.

Join the community at First Congregational Alameda as we present our 133rd Annual Christmas Concert, "Hope, Peace, Joy, Love!" on Sunday, December 16, 2012 at 5:00pm in the church Sanctuary.
Childcare will be available for infants and toddlers only in our Angel Wing Nursery.
The concert will feature our Chancel Choir, the Joyful Ringers Handbell Choir, instrumentalists, soloists and more. There is no charge, though we will receive a love offering. Half of this offering will go directly to the Alameda Midway Shelter and the other half will go to offsetting our facility maintenance so that we can make space available to community organizations at reduced rates.
First Congregational Church of Alameda is an open and affirming congregation in the United Church of Christ.
No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!

Whirl Your Way Slim Get outside and grab a Hula-Hoop. Turns out this 50's playground fad is a fabulous waist slimmer—just ask Hula-Hooper Michelle Obama! Here's how: Move only your midsection, keeping upper and lower body stable and rocking hips from side to side or front to back, not in a circle. The longer and more often you do it, the better the results.
Practice Perfect Posture Heeding Mom's advice can make you look 5 pounds thinner (and your abs flatter) instantly. To straighten up, imagine a string tugging you from the top of your head toward the ceiling.
Add This Green Fruit to Your Diet Just half an avocado contains 10 grams of MUFAs, which halt blood sugar spikes that tell your body to store fat around your belly. Eat these in 1/4 cup servings to ward off belly fat without overdoing it.
Play Catch Get into a crunch position—lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor, shoulders and head off the floor with your abs contracted. Then have someone throw an exercise ball (or basketball) to you—first to your left side so you have to twist and reach to catch it, and then to your right. Do this as many times as is comfortable, and try to increase the number each week.
Skip Your Daily Soda Habit Where do you think all those bubbles from carbonated drinks end up? They gang up in your belly! Swap soda, diet soda, and seltzer for Sassy Water, a Flat Belly Diet staple beverage. Get the Sassy Water recipe here.

Living in a ger is like being Alice standing under the caterpillar on his fleshy mushroom. The wood burning stove vents plumes of white smoke out of a rusty iron pipe just like the chain smoking caterpillar. An umbrella of wooden gills vein across the underside of the mushroom's meaty top. Woolen felt pounded to the thickness of steaks form a fat layer blanketing the ger's wooden skeleton and dampen all sound making one feel like a baby in the womb.
Our neighbor was a Mongolian baby and a marvel to me with his powder-soft pillowy cheeks, vice-lock gripping fingers, and easy smile. I'd peer out through my miniature door and see him riding belly first across the grass on a blanket pulled by his auntie. "Come outside, step through the tiny portal," he and the countryside beckoned.
Entering this world, normal is readjusted in the small differences. First, you meet the quiet. Here whirring of the winged crickets is shushed and not fat mouse nor bird dare peep. Quiet is an all consuming entity that stuffs fluff in your ears until sound foils its plans. Sound swims great distances in search of an available ear. The young herder girls' giggles sailed across the length of vast fields, like voices through a dream.
In this land of no ocean, the only waves found are waves of grazing animals. The ger camp must have been a stop on their favorite restaurant tour. A shuffling, first thought to be a person, revealed its un-human voice neighing to a neighbor. Cows, yaks, and their hybrid offspring, lumbered their furry rumps up and down the mountains everyday past us. Sneaking up on hundreds of sneezing goats I edged among a sea of incessant plucking of grass from ground to spend lunch time with my goaty friends. I wondered if they would ask me to tea, when I saw two struggle to dunk heads into a pot of raisin tea left by a silly human, but alas no tea for me just plucking pals.
I laughed at the mountains mocking the sky, and tickling the clouds, while patches of forrest gossiped in the rustling wind. That was until the clouds blackened, puffed to their puffiest, and boiled through the August sky, to pelt me with ice balls. Run, run to the safety of your mushroom! Lightening sizzled in the dark grey world, and bit a poor tree simply for being too tall. I hefted the felt up over my small door to peek out at the falling sky.
Night brought out giggling teens who helped in maintaining the ger's ceiling flap, and fed our stove, till a warm mesmerizing glow pulsed from its fiery heart. Sleep wiggled slowly in, as I watched a shadowy animation of flickers, dance on white felt walls. Somewhere in the night, the fire died and cold crept in, making layers of blankets tuck tighter around chins, to lock out the frost. I felt like the princess and the pea, only in reverse, being buried under a stack of blankets. Gray smoky puffs bloomed, coiled around my dreams, and transported me through my dark landscape…

As Certain as Debt and Taxes: Estimating the Tax Sensitivity of Leverage from Exogenous State Tax ChangesFlorian HeiderEuropean Central Bank (ECB) Alexander LjungqvistNew York University (NYU) - Department of Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI); Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN) December 15, 2013 AFA 2013 San Diego Meetings Paper Abstract: We use a natural experiment in the form of staggered changes in corporate income tax rates across U.S. states to show that tax considerations are a first-order determinant of firms' capital structure choices. Over the period 1990-2011, firms increase long-term leverage by 104 basis points on average (or $32.5 million in extra debt) when their home state raises tax rates. Contrary to static trade-off theory, the tax sensitivity of leverage is asymmetric: firms do not reduce leverage in response to tax cuts. Using treatment reversals, we find this to be true even within-firm: tax increases that are later reversed nonetheless lead to permanent increases in a firm's leverage – an unexpected and novel form of hysteresis. Our findings are robust to various confounds such as unobserved variation in local business conditions or investment opportunities, union power, or states' political leanings. Treatment effects are heterogeneous: tax sensitivity is greater among profitable and investment-grade firms which respectively have a greater marginal tax benefit and lower marginal cost of issuing debt.
