American Airlines to buy 460 new planes, spin off American Eagle
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — American Airlines is buying at least 460 new planes over the next five years and splitting the order between aerospace giants Boeing and Airbus.
American's parent, AMR Corp., said Wednesday it will buy 260 planes from Airbus and 200 from Boeing. It will also take options and purchase rights for up to 465 additional planes through 2025.
The airline expects the new, better-mileage planes will save money on fuel and provide more enticing amenities to passengers.
Also on Wednesday, AMR said it expects to spin-off regional carrier American Eagle, but it still won't completely rule out a sale.
The company didn't offer a timeframe for the plan, announced Wednesday. American Eagle carries passengers from smaller cities to American Airlines hub airports.
AMR, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas, says making American Eagle an independent company allows it to compete to provide regional service for other big airlines and grow larger. All major U.S. carriers use smaller airlines to run their regional flights.
As it proceeds with the spin-off, AMR says it remains open to other options, including a sale, as the deal moves forward.

Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist announced on Twitter Friday that he has joined the Democratic Party.
Crist was first elected to the governorship as a Republican in 2006. He ran for the U.S. Senate as an independent in 2010, losing a three-way race to Republican Marco Rubio. Crist's tweet read:"Proud and honored to join the Democratic Party in the home of President @Barack Obama!" Crist signed the papers changing his affiliation from independent to Democrat at a Christmas reception at The White House, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Crist spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte that nominated Obama for a second term, and had campaigned for Obama's reelection in Florida. A message left for Crist by The Associated Press wasn't immediately returned Friday night. Crist, 56, is viewed as a potential Democratic challenger to Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott in 2014. |

Lottery Win Means More State Tax Collections
A Kansas lottery ticket winner is helping the state's bottom line. The still-anonymous resident won a nearly $160 million jackpot in a lottery drawing last month.
Legislative staffer J.G. Scott told a Senate committee today that the win will mean a bump in state income tax collections.
"In the individual income tax estimates, we did include $7.9 million for the winner of the lottery," Scott said.
The nearly $8 million in taxes has been added to the revenue estimate lawmakers are using as they write the state budget. Some legislative committees are meeting this week to work on the budget in advance of the Legislature reconvening next week.

Navy mulls extending NMCI contract, increasing contract ceiling
The Department of the Navy has announced it may spend up to $1.2 billion more for support of its Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI). In a Feb. 20 FedBizOpps posting, the Navy issued sole-source justification, detailing a notice of intent to increase the price of Hewlett-Packard's continuity-of-service contract (CoSC). The notice also allows the Navy to extend the CoSC services from April 2014 through September 2014 to ensure the department can complete the transition to its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN). However, that contract option would only be exercised if the NGEN transition is further delayed.

As the Navy scours its IT systems to determine exactly what it owns, it's discovered it operates double the data centers and tens of thousands of servers and applications more than it previously thought. The findings come more than a decade after the Navy implemented its Navy-Marine Corps Intranet, which was supposed to reduce the number of disparate systems run by the agency and eliminate stovepipes. All told, Navy's IT budget could be as much as $4 billion more than it initially thought.

Could cutting service contracts avert sequestration furloughs?
In an analysis prepared for the American Federation of Government Employees, contracting expert Charles Tiefer said that agency managers have a number of tools at their disposal to legally scale back service-contract spending and that doing so would be preferable to federal furloughs.

Michael Tinsley, CEO of NeoSystems Corp., tells The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp, there's little contractors can do to influence agencies facing impending sequestration beyond maintaining good communications and weathering the storm.

DoD slow to codify some interagency contracting standards
Despite a big policy push from the administration, some agencies have lagged in implementing guidance dealing with interagency contracting, according to a recent report from the Government Accountability Office. Still, GAO said the creation of a policy framework by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy had gone a long way toward ameliorating some of the issues that landed interagency contracting on the watchdog agency's high-risk list eight years ago, such as duplication and unclear lines of authority between agencies.

Stile: Morris Plains GOP assemblyman touted for U.S. Senate run in 2014
By CHARLES STILE
But he was still outpaced by Sen. Paul Sarlo, the Wood-Ridge Democrat who represents the 36th District, which includes a stretch of towns in South Bergen and the city of Passaic. Sarlo netted $64,750 in contributions.
Sarlo has always been an aggressive fundraiser and his role as chairman of the powerful Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee certainly hasn't hurt.
But Sarlo may also be salting away the money to help secure support for a possible bid for Senate president if Stephen Sweeney of Gloucester County decides to run for governor this year or the U.S. Senate in 2014.

LOWELL — Haverhill fended off Lowell for as long as it could.
Forcing five turnovers kept the Hillies in the Thanksgiving Day hunt, but motivation ended up playing a bigger role. With a share of the MVC Large title on the line, Lowell literally beat up Haverhill, 36-23.
The Red Raiders finish at 9-2, tied with playoff representative Andover and Central Catholic. Haverhill wraps up its best season in recent memory with an 8-3 record.
Four of the turnovers came in the first half as a Joshua Dion fumble recovery turned into a 30-yard Patrick Yale field goal 13 plays later for a 3-0 Hillie lead, and a Stephane Bristol swipe thwarted Lowell a yard away from the end zone.
But the Red Raiders wouldn't be denied. They forced an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone for a safety followed by three straight touchdown-scoring possessions in the second quarter to take an insurmountable 23-9 advantage into the final 24 minutes. Lowell rang up four takeaways of its own on the day. Battling through a leg injury suffered against Chelmsford in his last game, quarterback Cam Latta was stellar for Lowell, completing 16 of 26 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns, two in the game-changing second quarter.
Just as importantly, the Red Raiders were able to effectively bottle up Hillie standout Chance Brady, holding the senior without any breakout runs until the final minutes of the contest. He did become the fifth player in area history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season and scored his 32nd touchdown of the fall.
At the end of a 30-yard dash — his best of the day that got him over the 100-yard plateau, Brady was clobbered by two Lowell defenders. After several tense minutes, he was assisted to the sidelines and later carted off the field after the game.
"He's a little banged up, his head's a little woozy, but he'll be fine," Hillie head coach Tim O'Connor said of Brady, who joined Jordan Hunt, Joshua Dion and Shain Roche in the injured ranks yesterday. "Lowell did a helluva job, they were very physical on both sides of the ball, and that's where the game was lost.
"The loss is definitely painful, but we have nine coming back on defense and eight on offense. The next Chance will come in, the next (quarterback) Tommy Morgan will come in. We'll be fine. I'm here for the long haul."

The fallout from Rev. Jeremiah Wright's long weekend media blitz finally got under the skin of Barack Obama late on Monday, as he held a hastily scheduled news conference on the tarmac in Wilmington, North Carolina.
"I think certainly what the last three days indicates is that we're not coordinating with him, right?" Obama said to reporters.
"He's obviously free to speak his mind, but I just want to emphasize that this is my former pastor. Many of the statements that he has made to trigger this controversy are not statements that I've heard him make previously. They don't represent my view and they don't represent what this campaign is about," said Obama.
The comments came after Wright's morning performance at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where he rattled off a littany of quotes that are sure to be repeated for Obama in the weeks ahead, at a time when Obama wants to focus on other matters.
Wright's main point was a simple one. The attacks leveled against him in recent weeks are not personal, but more racial in nature.
"This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright. It has nothing to do with Senator Obama. It is an attack on the black church launched by people who know nothing about the African-American religious tradition," said Obama's former pastor.
Wright repeated for reporters his assertion that the US government invented the AIDS virus as a way to control minority populations.
"I believe this government is capable of anything," Wright said.
It was the last thing Team Obama wanted to hear right now.
While black church leaders in the DC audience gave Wright thunderous applause, the quick review in Washington was that these were not the type of remarks that would help Obama win over white, working class voters.
Obama obviously knew that as he spoke with reporters before the evening news on Monday.
"Some of the comments that Reverend Wright has made offended me and I understand why they offend the American people," Mr. Obama said. "He does not speak for me. He does not speak for the campaign," said Obama.
I'm not going to jump to any conclusions and say that this episode is going to doom Obama. But it certainly doesn't help him right now. Just read a few lines from Dana Milbank's review in the Washington Post:
"Should it become necessary in the months from now to identify the moment that doomed Obama's presidential aspirations, attention is likely to focus on the hour between nine and ten this morning at the National Press Club," Milbank wrote.
I'm not ready to say Obama is doomed. But the Rev. Wright PR Tour hasn't helped.

I'm happy with it.

Fusion is fantastic with a 2012 ultimate with I7, 8GB, 512 SSD. I also had an 2011 11" with just 4GB and it was fine. Granted, I could not have much open on the Mac side of things, but Fusion was fine with Windows 7. Now having 8GB, it's even better.

I use to run Parallels on my 2008 Macbook, and the fans would go nuts on them when it was running. On the new MBA I just got, the fans are almost inaudible even when running windows! I love it.
Of course I'm not doing anything taxing in windows. I actually like using parallels with 2GB of RAM so the footprint of the virtual machine is smaller. I don't seem to need 4GB of RAM for it just yet.

You don't need the i7 for Fusion. VMware products will benefit far more from lots of memory and fast i/o. The cpu does very little. I've got the MBA 2012 with the i5, 256GB ssd and 8GB of memory. I don't have any problems running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS at the same time. I still have enough memory to even run another vm with OS X (10.7 or 10.8) and some OS X apps but that's maxing it. My MP 2010 only excels in graphics because it has a much more powerful GPU (5870). Memory is about the same but if you put more in the machine it will obviously be better and allow you to run even more vm's at the same time. I do have an ssd in this machine though.

Sorry, I read my post above and was not clear. I have an I7 processor but it's definitely not needed to run Fusion. The MacBook Air can run fusion without issue; my MacBook air from two years ago ran it fine. The main thing is RAM; the more better, but that's always the case. My 2011 Air only had 4 GB and I made that work just fine with Fusion.

To Die a Living Death: Phantasms of Burial and Cremation in Derrida's Final Seminar
Department of Philosophy, DePaul University, 2352 N. Clifton Ave., Chicago, IL 60614, USA

Abstract: In the Third Session of his seminar The Beast and the Sovereign, Volume 2, Jacques Derrida turns from a close reading of Heidegger's 1929–1930 seminar on The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe—the two books at the center of the seminar—to the question of what it means for a large and growing number of people in the Western world to have to decide, in a seemingly sovereign fashion, about how their bodies are to be treated after their deaths, that is, whether they are to be buried or cremated. This question marks a rather surprising turn to the present—even the autobiographical—in the seminar. This essay follows Derrida's treatment of the question in the rest of the seminar. It considers, first, what Derrida calls the phantasms attendant upon all speculations regarding this supposedly binary alternative between inhumation and creation and then what this alternative might tell us about Greco-European modernity and certain modern conceptions of the subject and the subject's putative autonomy and sovereignty over its life, its body, and its remains.

Lady Liberty: The Untold Story of the Statue of Liberty : Located on a 12 acre island, the Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, designated as a National Monument in 1924 and restored for her centennial on July 4, 1986. But the story behind the Statue of Liberty is a fascinating one, linked by the involvement of many interesting individuals and a difficult birth. Filled with period photographs and journal and diary entries, this book shows the dedication many people felt to the project as it often times struggled into being. Even after it was born, the statue was handed off from government agency to government agency, falling more and more into disrepair. In fact, as author Lenore Skomal and her excellent research point out, the Statue was left to the elements alone until a generation or two of immigrants, who remembered the statue as their first memory of the United States, came to her rescue, lead by the famed industrialist Lee Iacocca. A fascinating story.

Aug 17, 2013Wonderful hotel on the Embarcadero, with a stunning view of the Bay Bridge. The entire staff, from the doorman to the concierge, to the bartenders in Americano and the housekeeper, was extremely welcoming and hospitable. I stayed in an amazing room with a breathtaking bay view on the 7th floor (there are 8 floors in this lovely boutique hotel). Although there was no jacuzzi tub, there was a huge shower with a rainfall shower head and the bathroom was stocked with Fresh products - my favorite! The bed was super comfy with pillows that I wanted to take home with me.

Jul 05, 2012If you want a really hip hotel that is close to everything, then i would highly recommend Hotel Vitale. With great views and interesting decor and design choices like sunken tubs, this is a great option that is literally across from the Ferry Building. Staying here will give you easy access to some incredible eateries in and around the Ferry Building and close enough to the Bart/Muni to get you around town.

Jul 05, 2012Hotel Vitale is a beautiful spa hotel with the best view of the Bay Bridge and ideally located near the Ferry Building. They offer FRESH brand bath products, which are amazing. I also thought it was pretty great to walk into the lobby and smell fresh lavender everyday.

Oct 22, 2013With a view of the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace, Hotel Vitale garners a top spot on our 'favorite hotels for foodies' list. Its Italian farmhouse restaurant isn't your ordinary hotel diner; their handmade pasta dishes and homemade wood-fired oven pizzas would confuse even the most Italian of mamas. Plus, the hotel is just a stone-ground grit's throw from the Ferry Building, as well as Chinatown, Italian North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf (where you won't find much fine dining, but who needs more than hot clam chowder in a bread bowl on a windy day?).

Aug 27, 2013Can't beat the location a block from the Embarcadero, which makes the bay view rooms amazing. Perfect view of the bay bridge and the ferry building. If you're stuck in a city room, you can still enjoy the view from the rooftop terraces with lounge chairs and space heaters--a must in SF!
Excellent customer service. They try to accommodate every request, including placing a complimentary mini fridge in your room (for all those farmers market purchases!).
Not a perfect rating because the phone in our room didn't work, making it difficult to contact the front desk. And one of my towels had a spot of blood on it.
But still recommended for your next stay in SF.
- Hotel Vitale, a Joie de Vivre hotelLudovicDec 07, 2012
Been staying in this hotel for 4 nights and I must say the rooms are big enough. The shower bathroom is sized normally. The room is quite calm, so sleeping was good (except for the jetlag of course). Wifi is terrible - use the wire. There is a $10 option for faster internet but I didn't try it. Breakfast card is small and they are expensive ($25 -> $30)

Aug 15, 2012What a "wow" location. View of the bay bridge, right on the embarcadero, walking distance to some of the hottest restaurants and bars in downtown San Francisco.
This boutique hotel does a really good job of making you feel like a uniquely special guest.
The rooms are comfortable and most of them have spectacular views of the city.
Bonus: the bar/lounge downstairs has an outside terrace right across the street from the bay, with some of the best views of the bridge in the city. It's really prime space, and always seems to be a hotspot for after-work/pre-dinner cocktails.
- Hotel Vitale, a Joie de Vivre hotelNallyJul 13, 2012
Hotel Vitale is a comfortable, modern hotel on the Embarcadero and across the street from the Ferry Building Marketplace. From the roof deck, there is a fantastic view of the Bay Bridge. Americano, the hotel's restaurant, seems popular with the afterwork crowd.
- Hotel Vitale, a Joie de Vivre hotelV.B. FlaughenhausJul 04, 2012
I really enjoyed my stay at the vitale. I was on vacation with my family and I can't say enough about its location on the embarcadero...right across the street from the ferry building and just blocks from union square etc. The restaurant downstairs, americano, was also great and the concierge was really helpful in booking an alcatraz visit for us.
- Hotel Vitale, a Joie de Vivre hotelVickyJul 04, 2012
We stayed here the night after our wedding in the circular suite. The view was amazing and the soaking tub in the room was luxurious. Staff was extremely accomodating and the service was superb! Can't wait to go back!!!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I loved this product because they are small enough to read but not too large that they will take over the table. Again, very simple to personalize and the colors are so vibrant!"
"I used these place cards for our wedding and they turned out great! I changed the green to a light blue color to go with our wedding colors and they looked very modern and classy. Once I received them, instead of writing the guests names on the cards I ran them through my printer at home. Turned out great and looked professional!"
"This placecard is beautiful! The quality of the paper is excellent and the raised lettering gives it an elegance. The cards come already scored, making folding them very easy, and they come in a beautiful green box wrapped in tissue paper. The design is simple, classic and sophisticated, with an air of romance and whimsy. They are the perfect placecards for your wedding!"
"We requested that this product be customized so that the text and stripes were in brown instead of black. We are very happy with the results! I also appreciated the option to change the "table number" text to best fit our needs. Darling design! Great quality! Customer service was very supportive through the whole process!"

Part I: Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner on the Campbell Conversations
By Grant Reeher
In recent months Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner has been an evangelist for fiscal sustainability and a clear-eyed look at the financial challenges facing the city. Before that she was a town crier regarding the Destiny project.
In this conversation, the first of a two-part discussion, she talks about the city's financial challenges, their origins, and what might be done about them. She also reflects back on the Destiny saga, its likely future effects, and the sometimes odd current discussions about how it all could have happened.

SIOUX FALLS (AP) - William Tell lived in Switzerland in the 14th century. That is, if he was a real person. There's a chance he's pure fable.
Either way, the fact that he has any name recognition in contemporary America is a testament to the time-honored fascination with (and recent cool factor) of archery. The sport is experiencing something of a renaissance at the moment, thanks to inclusion in several blockbuster movies.
Bows and arrows are featured in "The Hunger Games," ''The Avengers" and the upcoming Disney/Pixar flick, "Brave," exposing millions of people - many of them children - to archery.
So far, their response is on target.
USA Archery has reported spikes in web hits and social media involvement as more young people embrace the sport. The group's Facebook membership, for example, went up 175 percent over the last two years. The largest age division at most national events: 15-17.
Not surprisingly, the outlook is the similar in South Dakota, which is fast becoming one of the hotbeds of the sport.
More than 200 schools and 20,000 students participated in the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) this year, according to Jason Cool from Game, Fish and Parks - double the number from last year.
Resident archery licenses for deer hunting are also on the rise, growing from 12,600 in 2001 to 24,700 in 2011.
Kim Meester, owner of Archery Outfitters in Sioux Falls, said his store has experienced a "huge increase" in bow sales. He's heard there's a waiting list for equipment because suppliers can't keep up.
"It's really taken off again," Meester said. "I think the economy might have something to do with it, too. There's a little bit of an initial investment, but once you have that done it's a pretty inexpensive sport. And there's a pretty good offering as far as what you can do."
Coincidentally, Meester got involved in archery in 1985, not long after the "Rambo" series - another Hollywood offering that featured bows and arrows - debuted on the big screen.
As for the variety, there are different types of bows and different objects at which to take aim with carbon arrows.
The two most popular bows are the recurve and the compound. The compound is comparatively stiff and incorporates a pulley on each end, making it more energy efficient and requiring less strength to draw. In theory, it's modern and easy to use.
But it's not gaining as much steam as the recurve, a more traditional, basic and difficult bow. The recurve is used in the Olympics - another upcoming event playing into the boom - and the movies, hence the recent popularity.
Likewise, target shooting - both the paper kind and 3-D foam animals - is on the rise because that's most commonly associated with recurve bows than game hunting.
"It's my favorite sport," 8-year-old Simone Schneekloth said during a break in her indoor lesson at Archery Outfitters.
Schneekloth picked up the sport in April because her younger brother, August, had tried and liked it. She got hooked up with some gear - her bow is pink - and a coach, local archery pro Hugo Barrientos.
During 60-minute sessions, Schneekloth fires five arrows over and over at a paper target stationed maybe 15 feet away. It's extraordinary to see a recent second-grade graduate, twin braids in her hair and minus one front tooth, draw a bow, steady herself and then sling a carbon arrow into a waiting bull's-eye.
"Children can compete at just about every tournament available because there are set ranges that are shorter to accommodate them," explained Barrientos, who finished eighth in the pro division of indoor nationals earlier this year. "That's the future of the sport."
Canton High School students Jordan Wiebe and Kendra Rock were on the other end of the same indoor range earlier this week.
They bought bows during the school year, excited by an archery unit - part of NASP - in their agriculture class. Already an avid hunter, Wiebe sees the sport as a new challenge and plans to get deer and turkey licenses in the coming seasons.
As for Rock?
"It's something different to do," she said.
The sport has found a foothold in South Dakota. In 2007, the National Field Archery Association, the largest archery group in the country, moved its headquarters from California to Yankton.
Since then, it has opened a 22,000-square foot, multi-million dollar facility with support from sporting goods giant Easton, organized the most lucrative indoor archery event ever with a total purse of $165,000 and helped start an archery team at Mount Marty. (The NCAA classifies archery as an emerging sport, meaning it's working toward official sanctioning.)
Did Hollywood create all of that? Hardly. The NFAA, for example, has been around since 1939 and has affiliates in all 50 states. But including archery in so many recent films has encouraged the masses to get involved with programs that have long been in place. That's good for the sport.
"This has been the national shot in the arm that we've needed," said NFAA president Bruce Cull, "because it's just perpetuated things. The support is already there through organizations like us and USA Archery. Now, (kids) can revert back to those coaches and teachers and people who are already there to help them."

I dunno why he plays anyway, DJ White is better than him at everything except blocking shots.
Out to rest legs? Are you kidding me? Waste of money.
SWAG=Something We (South)Asians Got
I dunno why he plays anyway, DJ White is better than him at everything except blocking shots.
Judging from our schedule, I figure him to be out again next week if the schedule is too much for him.
Just get rid of him already
I am seriously getting annoyed with him, he is not worth keeping. He has not been playing up to par, plus he is always injuried!
100% untradable.
I can't believe someone had the balls to tell Michael Jordan and Paul Silas he didn't want to play because his legs were tired
#workharder my ass
Per Rick Bonnell, Silas rested Thomas:
Still, we're talking about tired legs. What kind of shape is this guy in?
"Sam Vincent? To be honest with you, I don't know what his concept was." - Gerald Wallace
27 minutes.
the first number is how much tyrus makes per game. the second number is how many minutes it took him last night to earn what i earn in 1 year. keep in mind he had one of the best seats in the house (one that costs me and you $400 to buy that he gets for free) and watched while wearing street clothes. so with 3 minutes to go in the first half he made my salary.
hate to say i told you so, but i told all of you so.
He's moved to the top of the Amnesty List this offseason. I think the "potential/ceiling" hourglass is almost out of sand. Thomas has been one of my favorite players since we acquired him, but since the playoff run, he has been oft-injured and has been inconsistent. That contract is terrible and if he continues to underperform this year, I think he has to be considered our amnesty victim. Especially if there is a stud 6'9 - 6'11'' draftee that we snag in the draft.

Miranda Kerr Reveals Her 10 Minute Workout
Nicola Formichetti, the new artistic director of Diesel (and the former stylist for Lady Gaga), has released his first capsule collection for the brand. Entitled simply #DIESELTRIBUTE, the collection celebrates 35 years of the brands rebellious rocker aesthetic. Inspiration for the hand-assembled pieces came from the brands secretive historical archive. Formichetti viewed thousands of Diesel legacy pieces in order to design with the brands tradition in mind as well as his own personal take. "This collection is my homage to the DNA of Diesel," Formichetti explains. This is the first weve seen of Formichetti since his departure as creative director for Thierry Mugler last April.
The collection will include 45 pieces in total for both menswear and womenswear, including ready to wear apparel, denim, leather pieces, accessories, and intimates. The denim capsule collection will launch globally on November 4, and we can expect to see the leather capsule collection in February 2014. It will be made available in select Diesel stores internationally, as well as a number of luxury retailers. Formichetti will make his (hopefully) triumphant return to the runway for Diesel in March.

On Sept. 12, 2013, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Grey vetoed the "Large Retailer Accountability Act of 2013," which was passed by the D.C. Council in an 8-5 vote on July 10, 2013. This bill would have required large retailers to pay their employees a 50 percent premium over the district's minimum wage. Specifically, retailers with corporate sales of $1 billion or more and operating in spaces 75,000 square feet or larger would have been required to pay their employees no less than $12.50 an hour, as opposed to the D.C. minimum wage of $8.25 per hour. The bill included an exception for employers who collectively bargain with their employees. Current employers would have had four years to come into compliance.
In vetoing the bill, Mayor Grey stated that, rather than improve employment opportunities or wages for the D.C. workforce, the bill would "result in significant harm to the residents and areas of the District most in need of jobs, economic development, and new amenities." Although the D.C. Council has the ability to override Mayor Grey's veto, it needs nine votes to do so, making an override unlikely.

District Personnel Evaluations Update
The Department of Education has reviewed the initial district personnel evaluation status report released December 5 to address district reports that included duplicate individual personnel records. The updated report is now posted.
Classroom Teacher Category Example
Highly Effective | Effective | Needs Improvement | Developing | Unsatisfactory | |
Original Percentages | 22.2 | 74.5 | 1.9 | 1.0 | 0.3 |
Updated Percentages | 21.9 | 74.6 | 2.1 | 1.2 | 0.3 |
The percentages in each performance category for districts with duplicate records, as well as for the state overall, show very little change from Wednesday's report. Adjustments to the data did not affect any individual teacher's evaluation. Only the personnel counts for each category are different based on the revision.
It is important to remember this is an initial status report - a progress report - that represents information received from districts as of November 30, 2012. Some districts were not able to provide data by this date. A final report will be produced in January 2013 when all districts have reported.
Transparent data reporting as it is received is part of the department's commitment to keeping everyone informed of progress in major initiatives. Issuing progress reports, not just final ones, keeps everyone updated and engaged.
The Department of Education is committed to remaining transparent as we work together through this new personnel evaluation process. Staff at district levels have worked hard to learn a new way of reporting this data. New evaluation systems are part of Florida's effort to improve instruction and student learning.

Rejected Star Wars Promotional Products
There are tons of Star Wars products out there. Some are cool (like the LEGO sets) and some are less cool (like the lightsaber lamp). Well a long time ago (1999) in a galaxy far away (fine, the Milky Way) Pepsi and Luscasarts brainstormed a bunch of Star Wars promotional products. And these, my friends, are the rejects. There's everything here from the Han Solo carbonite fridge to a Death Star grill to an AT-AT Walker chair caddy. Check out the jump to see them all. And while Princess Leia lifesize dolls may exist, I was kind of hoping for a Darth Vader one. You know, so I could fulfill a naughty fantasy punch him in the mouth.

PAY 2 PLAYIn January 2010, the Supreme Court decision Citizens United vs. FEC declared that corporations could spend unlimited amounts to affect our elections. But even before then, politicians have been listening to their donors, not the voters. PAY 2 PLAY takes a look at the obstacles in running for office by creatively wrapping the experience around a board game parallel, with compelling insight into both the corruption that flourishes under our current campaign process, as well as exposing revelations about Citizens United. The film explores an array of campaign reform opportunities, proven legislation, and movements underway to reclaim America's democracy. (COMING IN 2013) TRAILER | |

The film follows the story of Adriana, a girl who left home at the age of six and had a daughter at age 11. After seeing the cycle that leads kids to the street, these women began addressing family issues at the root of the problem and working with both the mind and body to overcome their trauma.

When Congress passes an admittedly unconstitutional bill, the President publicly acknowledges that the bill is unconstitutional while signing it into law, the unconstitutional legislation is then submitted to a bureaucratic commission instructed to write admittedly unconstitutional regulations to implement the admittedly unconstitutional law and everyone involved is content to let the courts figure it all out in the end limited, responsible, constitutional government is in a bad way.
This is precisely the chain of events leading from the drafting of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law to the
hearings being held right now by the Federal Elections Commission. Claremont Institute Fellow Robert Alt is testifying at those hearings today on behalf of the Claremont Institute.

Smoky-Sweet BBQ Beef Short Ribs Recipe
A big slab of beef ribs can be hard to find and intimidating to cook, so here I use short ribs. I also don't follow any prescribed style of cooking or flavoring, which makes this recipe an easy shortcut for beginners, or people who don't want to spend hours smoking their ribs. Start with a sweet and spicy rub to coat the meat, and let it sit overnight for the best flavor. In the meantime, make the slightly smoky chipotle barbecue sauce. Roast the ribs in the oven until the meat almost falls off the bone, then finish them on the grill, slathering them with sauce until the ribs are lacquered and slightly charred. Serve with a fresh corn salad and some herby potatoes.
Special equipment: You'll need a pastry brush or barbecue basting brush for this recipe.
What to buy: Look for flanken-cut beef short ribs—they're sliced through the bones, revealing four or five oval-shaped cross-sections. You'll need ribs that are 2 to 2 1/2 inches thick and 5 to 7 inches long. But don't worry if you can't find that exact size or cut: Though their shape is not ideal for grilling, English-cut short ribs (sliced parallel to the rib) can also be used in this recipe. Just monitor the cooking time in step 3—if your ribs are thinner than 2 inches, check them for doneness after about 1 1/2 hours; if they're thicker than 2 1/2 inches, check them after... read more
For the ribs:
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 5 pounds (2- to 2-1/2-inch-thick) flanken-cut beef short ribs
For the barbecue sauce:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups ketchup
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 chipotles in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Place all of the ingredients except the ribs in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Place the ribs in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and arrange them in an even layer. Evenly rub the spice mixture on all sides of the ribs and cover the dish with aluminum foil. (At this point, you can roast the ribs immediately, but for the best flavor and texture, refrigerate them for up to 24 hours.)
- Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. (If you rubbed the ribs in advance, remove them from the refrigerator and set aside at room temperature while the oven is heating, at least 20 minutes.)
- Place the ribs in the oven and roast until fork-tender, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
For the barbecue sauce:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, whisk to combine, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, whisking occasionally, until the flavors have melded and the sauce has reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to grill the ribs.
To grill the ribs:
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 350°F to 450°F).
- Place the ribs on the grill and brush them with some of the sauce. Cover the grill and cook until grill marks appear on the bottom of the ribs, about 5 minutes. Turn the ribs, brush with sauce, cover, and cook another 5 minutes. Flip and brush every 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened and formed a glaze and the ribs are heated through, about 20 minutes total. Transfer the remaining sauce to a serving bowl and serve with the ribs.

Documenting skills is value-add
ISA certification provides an objective, third-party assessment, and confirmation of a person's skills. It gives manufacturing and factory staff the opportunity to differentiate themselves from their peers and gain recognition. InTech covers two certification areas in this monthly Certification department.
ISA Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) program
Certified Control System Technicians (CCSTs) calibrate, document, troubleshoot, and repair/replace instrumentation for systems that measure and control level, temperature, pressure, flow, and other process variables.
CCST question
Which of the following is the standard wiring color for a Type K thermocouple in the U.S. and Canada?
CCST answer
The correct answer is C, which illustrates the very common Type K, Chromel/Alumel thermocouple.
A illustrates the very common Type J, Iron/Constantan thermocouple.
B illustrates the less common Type E, Chromel/Constantan thermocouple.
D illustrates the less common Type T, Copper/Constantan thermocouple.
