laminate flooring over basement door in floor...
Hello everyone...
I am remodeling a room that used to be a screened in porch. The previous owner put an addition above the screen room. The screen room had something like 14 windows in it and heating and cooling was costing to much due to the room. So i went ahead and pulled out 13 windows and boarded them up as a regular wall. I also went ahead and tore out a iron spiral staircase and put in a regular real staircase. turned out good for doing it myself though it has been an all year project. So now i just finished the drywalling and painting and redid the electric outlets and switches. I even added track lighting as I will have a pool table on whells in this room when finished. I decided to go with a 7mm laminate flooring from lumber liquidators for about 300 dollars not bad at all. the floor will be here in about 7 days so i am preping everything now. My dilema now is that in the middle of this room is the entrance to the basement which the door is built into the floor like a trap door and for the love of god I do not know the actual name for this door. Now once i install the floor i see that this door will be a problem because it opens nice now becuase it was just very thin carpet before i ripped it out. but with 7mm thick floor boards it will not open all the way and i can see damage happening. I think i figured out how to re install the door so that the door will swing down avoiding hitting the 7mm floor boards. I am going to undo the piano hinge and install a new 2x4 about two inches from the board the hinge is on now. I will then install the piano hinge on the new 2x4 which will place the hinge a few inches from the end of the door so this way when the door is lifted the end of the door will have 2 inch gap for the end of the door to swoop down with out having to hit the floor boards. I then thought well the door will be heavy now with the floor boards glued in place. I was thinking of how to make the door open with ease and thought to use gas struts.... Well, then this morning i came across a gate opener alittle pricey but i can install a switch in the wall to push to open the door automatically. Has anyone ever used a gate opener or made an automatic trap door opener? thanks |

'Perfect storm' brings crab shortage in markets
Friday - 6/29/2012, 10:59am  ET
The Daily Times
FENWICK ISLAND, Md. (AP) - Spring's crab glut has quickly become summer's crab shortage.
And with crab consumption a July Fourth holiday ritual on Delmarva, crustacean connoisseurs could be in for some disappointment.
Despite a spring of plentiful crabs, various takeout seafood shops in the area have been struggling to obtain a full supply for the summer.
"It's flip-flopped from the spring," said Dave Long, manager at Ocean View Seafood.
While crabs are typically plentiful during the preseason, a cold spell followed by hot temperatures and more wind than she has seen in her 30 years in the business have made the crustacean scarce, said Mary Ellen Ball, co-owner of Tom and Terry's Seafood Market.
"It shows you how much nature can turn," she said. "It's Mother Nature."
Combine that with a typical summer increase in demand, and there's one outcome.
"It's the perfect storm for a shortage," she said. "Right now you can barely get crabs because of the weather problem," she said.
What there are plenty of, Long said, are juvenile crabs, but those won't do the trick as they take about a year or two to develop.
And Ball's not seeing enough large and jumbo crabs, she said.
"They're, like, nonexistent," she said.
Brenda Davis, blue crab program manager at the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, said during a winter dredge survey -- the only baywide fishery independent effort to estimate the number of blue crabs living in the Chesapeake Bay -- the state recorded the highest recruit abundance in the history of the survey, which was first conducted in 1988.
Of the 764 million crabs recorded this year -- an increase from 461 million in last year's study -- 587 million of them fell into the recruit category. Recruits are considered to be crabs with a carapace -- the distance point to point across the back -- of 2.25 inches and smaller.
Davis is hearing from commercial crabbers that in the upper bay, things are slow but down the bay, crabs are being caught.
"The season is starting slow," she said.
Crabs hit the soft-shell market once they have a carapace of 3.25 inches, while the minimum size for the hard-shell crab market is 5 inches, Davis said. Those two figures each increase by .25 inches after July 15.
Crabs mature in about 18 months, she said.
While Long stopped short of saying there is a crab shortage, he said his distributors have been supplying fewer crabs.
"I'm definitely not getting as many as I order," he said.
On Father's Day weekend, Ball paid record prices to purchase crabmeat. The crabmeat she uses for crab cakes costs $21 per pound; she can make three crab cakes with a pound of meat, she said.
"We sell hundreds and hundreds of them," she said about the crab cakes. "I'm scrambling now."
On July Fourth weekend, Ball said she buys $10,000 of crabmeat.
"I'm really afraid for July 4 and what's going to happen," she said.
She said it's tough to predict whether she'll be in a predicament for much longer.
"Weather is everything, you just don't know," she said.

The Israeli cabinet Sunday approved a bill that will allow the government to compensate Jewish settlers who lose their homes under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's proposed Gaza withdrawal plan. The bill allows the Israeli government to issue evacuation orders to Jewish settlers living in the Gaza Strip, and includes provisions that will jail resistors for up to five years. Some 1,500 families (9,000 settlers) are expected to be affected by the plan, and under the bill will be eligible for up to $300,000 in compensation. BBC News has more. JURIST's Paper Chase has background on the Gaza withdrawal plan.
The US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Sunday issued a stay of a District Court order requiring some provisional ballots in Michigan to be counted even if they are cast in the wrong precinct. The court overturned a similar ruling out of Ohio on Saturday. Opponents of the court's decision claim the stricter rules disproportionately hurt poor people, and violate the Help America Vote Act. The court has promised to hear an expedited appeal of the case, but it is unclear if that appeal will occur before the Nov. 2 election. A copy of the District Court's ruling may be read here [PDF]; it was reported in JURIST's Paper Chase here. AP has more.
A day after it pledged $100 million to the African Union's peacekeeping efforts in Sudan, as reported Saturday on JURIST's Paper Chase, the EU Sunday expressed its concern over repeated breaches of the cease-fire agreement in Darfur and urged the Sudanese government to unilaterally sign protocols to allow access for aid. EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said "everybody" is violating the cease-fire, but did note displeasure over the movement of government helicopters. Peace talks are to resume on Monday, the first talks since they collapsed when rebels refused to sign humanitarian protocols agreed on by all sides. Reuters has more. For more on the crisis in Darfur from JURIST's Paper Chase, click here.
Following up on a story previously reported on JURIST's Paper Chase, Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon has charged 17 people for their roles in attempting to blow up the Spanish National Court in Madrid, a center of the country's investigations into Islamic terrorism. The group, comprised of Moroccans, Algerians, and one Spaniard, is believed to be part of a cell named the "Martyrs for Morocco," created by Mohamed Achraf, who had already made preparations to acquire the explosives. Eight of the suspects were arrested this past week, while 10 were already imprisoned for other offenses. The charges, filed late Saturday, are not considered a formal indictment and await further investigation. AP has more.
The Washington Post reported Sunday that in response to a request by the CIA, the US Justice Department drafted a memo in March 2004 that authorized the transfer of detainees out of Iraq for interrogation. International law experts say this is an unconventional and disturbing circumvention and reinterpretation of the Geneva Convention, Article 49 of which prohibits "[i]ndividual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory . . . regardless of their motive." The memo of March 19, written by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, acknowledged that both Iraqi citizens and foreigners in Iraq are protected by the Convention, but permits the CIA to take Iraqis out of the country for interrogation for a "brief but not indefinite period." It also permitted the CIA to permanently remove persons deemed to be "illegal aliens" under "local immigration law." One intelligence official said that the CIA has used the memo as legal support to transfer nearly a dozen detainees out of Iraq in the last six months, concealing them from the International Committee of the Red Cross. The Washington Post has more.
Preliminary results show interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai has won a majority of the votes cast in Afghanistan's October 9th presidential elections. The results are still being reviewed to eliminate allegations of voter fraud, but early results show Karzai winning 4,105,122 votes, more than half of the estimated 8,114,071 votes cast. The official announcement may be made next week. The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan provides the very latest preliminary results here, broken down by candidate, region, and other crieteria. AP has more.
Sunday's London Telegraph reports that British leaders have set March 2006 as the date for a UK referendum on the proposed European Constitution. EU leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, will sign a draft of the document on Friday in Brussels. A recent poll found 59% of Britons are against the Constitution, most believing that it shifts too much authority to the EU, and the UK Green Party has already pledged to campaign against it. The Telegraph has more.
Voters in Florida are raising questions about the reliability of new touchscreen voting machines deployed in 15 counties to end the problems with paper ballots and "hanging chads" that plagued the 2000 election. Some critics of the new system fear that thousands of votes could be inadvertently deleted, misrecorded, or lost. US Representative Robert Wexler (D-FL) is already suing to force all Florida counties to produce paper results, saying that the new electronic system violates equal protection requirements. AP has more.... The Iowa state Attorney General has ruled that votes cast by provisional ballot in the wrong precinct will still be counted so long as voters are registered to vote in the state. VoteLaw has the AG's opinion here [PDF]. From Iowa, the Quad-City Times has more.... Voters in Arkansas will decide on November 2 if an amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman should be made to the Arkansas Constitution.

Sproul & Associates, a consulting firm employed by the Republican National Committee, has been accused of destroying Democratic voter registration cards in Oregon, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It is illegal to tamper with voter registration cards and is a felony in some states. AP has more. On Friday, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported that workers using a project name associated with Sproul may have changed the registrations of PA and Oregon students from Democrat to Republican. The PG has more.
Sunday's New York Times highlights the way US military law has been secretly rewritten since September 11, 2001. The Times also covers the US Supreme Court's denial of Presidential candidate Ralph Nader's plea to be placed on Pennsylvania ballot, the contentious nature of judicial elections in the US, and how California is rethinking its "3-strikes" sentencing law.Today's Washington Post reports on a US Army Captain's lawsuit designed to block his pending deployment. The Post also covers a federal appeals court holding that will prevent some provisional ballots in Ohio from being counted.

Hello !!!
Just wondering if some of you guys have floyd rose tremolos on your guitar. What do you think of them ... pros and cons
I have a floyd rose and i think it's one of the greatest things ever invented i mean, the floyd roses make guitar playing to go a level further and to be much fun. unlike strat's classic system the floyd rose can be used hours without stopping and the guitar will still be in tune. And when the strings break you can reuse them for months it's so great the only thing i don'T like about fr is that you cant tune your guitar very low, but since i don't tune it very low i don't care

I was told this was a must visit because they have over 60 taps. In downtown Halifax it was easy to find and the inside was just another bar with plenty of young folks enjoying some brews. Our server knew very little about beer but she kept our glasses full at least. I must admit I was very impressed with the beer list both taps and bottles even some stuff I've never heard of and in Canada that doesn't happen that often. I had a pitcher of Pumphouse IPA and it was one of the biggest surprises of my trip. We only had mussels to eat but they were quite tasty. My jug was only 10$ and everything was priced pretty fair but I'm from Calgary and everything out East is pretty cheap compared to what I'm used to. I would go back here for the beer menu alone so I recommend you stop in for a beer if in the area.

Been here a number of times, not by choice mind you. I've decided to review it. This it collectively over many visits.
The place looks like a typical bar, dimly lit with a projector playing the current sports game. Nice outdoor patio. Bathrooms were retrofitted into the place, a number of skinny stairs, narrow uneven floors brings you there. Not my kind of place to be.
Only once have I gotten a waitress that was 'kind' (er apathetic) and most others never seemed to be enjoying the work there and disliked questions. Not happy about that. Ice cold mugs are given, but that doesn't bother me much as you can get a non frozen one if you ask.
The selection is quite grand. As the sign (large banner hanging on the outside wall) says: "60 beers on tap". Yeah, huge selection with most being macro. They have Garison's DIPA and Mclausin's Oatmeal stout which keep me content when I go for a beer or two. Other than that, there is a selection of bottled beer, some good (DDC) , some bad. The one thing I did like, was every Friday Garrison makes a firkin of some new beer. I've never come late enough to see this tapped out, then trying them, I see (taste) why.
The cost of the beers are outrageous too. Any half decent beer will cost you an arm and a leg, any good beer will cost you a small child. They have some deals like a 80 oz brewtender for a reasonable price, but the beer to go in it is not.
The food is worse than pathetic. Collectively (from a number of people at the table), I ordered a steak that contained a ton of fat, under cooked and cold. The sliders (5 burgers for 5$) were terrible, their breakfast is not so good. Honestly, pub food is not difficult to make properly, but it happens.
The thing that gets people to buy their food i the deals they have. Half priced appetizers, half price this and that, it seems like a good investment at the time.
Overall, it's not a place I enjoy going to, but I still end up there from time to time because others enjoy the brewtenders.

Well to start off, I was not overly impressed with this place.
After spending over a week in Halifax and some of the outlying harbor towns, I'd been to many places to compare this too. This was the final place I visited before heading back to our cottage in Indian Harbor for the final voyage home.
The sign was blatent and what got us there in the first place. 60 beers on tap! The first question that entered my head, was what beers are on tap? The local list was ok, but sub-par compared to other places I'd visited. Garrison Imperial pale, which was served ice cold, not to happy with that. Also served into a super thick mug. It siad 12 oz pour, but it seemed a bit shy of 12 ounces.
Which is somthing they could probably improve on. The only option was 12 ounce, pitcher and the giant thing that looked like a blender. I was really hoping to get a pint.
We sat on the patio, ample seating for several tables. Inside was the typical bar scene, wood furnishings, ugly green walls, tv's all over. The bathrooms were upstairs, through a narrow hall and up eneven steep stairs. Not a place you would want to visit when tipsy. Although the bathrooms were clean, a bit cramped though for the amount of people here. 2 urinals and one stall.
Service was good, the waitress came back repeatedly to check on us. She seemed to have empty glass radar.
Food was decent, typical bar food. A bit greasy though, it seemed like everything was doused in grease.
I can think of many other places to visit other then this one. If you like cheap watered down beers with 50 ontap to choose from, or smirnoff ice in all flavors. Then this one is for you. I'd say there was less then 10 micro locals ontap.

We were wandering around Halifax after getting of the boat looking for a place to eat and grab a pint or two, when my wife turned and said to me "Does that sign say 60 Taps". Like manna from heaven. We walked in and it had a nice English pub feel. Dark wood, a centralized bar, and high tables. We sat down and saw that they had an all day happy hour up till 7pm and since it was 2pm it made it all that much better. Since it was early the place was almost dead. Maybe 3 other tables and a couple guys at the bar. Our waitress was very responsive since they were pretty dead. Right when our pints were about to kick, she was bringing another one over. The food was pretty good and relatively cheap. We split the Poutine (gravy, cheese curds, and fries) and a grilled cheese sandwich and both were very good. The selection of the place was very good. I don't know whether it was the fact that we weren't from that area, but they had several breweries on tap that I had never seen before. It seemed like they had several locals and not that many big macros. The downsides were that they had a couple big TV's and they were turned up, which was a bit annoying. The other was that the beer was pricey. I think we paid 3.99 (a dollar off each pint) per 12oz pour, and we were at happy hour. They have these big clunky mugs that make you feel like you're picking up 16 but only getting 12. Other than that, it was a very good outing and would plan on coming back if I ever make it back to Halifax.

First time visitor to Halifax; impressed with this place, with over 60 taps.
Always good to see lots of local brews, with Garrison, Propeller, and Pump House well represented.
Be sure to have the Garrison Imperial Pale Ale
( waitress warned we it was very hoppy, would be a terrible shock for a Keith's drinker)
Beer $ 3.95 for a mug during day, with various specials. Fairly expensive other times.
They have the 80 oz Beer Dispenser for a good price ( good for groups )
Food specials every day, incl $6 fish & chips on Friday, very tasty
2-burger platter for $7, $4 mussels
Busy place, with flat screen TVs for sports.
Highly recommend if you're visiting Halifax

Editing my review, as I've been here many times and the overall impression has certainly improved.
The atmosphere is quite Halifax faux-english pubbish here. Plenty of dark wood on the bar and the tables/chairs, some odd light fixtures that don't quite fit any particular decor, and sports on large screen tvs. It's a little confused, but it's not ugly.
The beers on tap run the gamut from local micros to macro swill to imported. The imports are nothing special, big-name quasi-macros of varying quality, but the local offerings are solid. The beer is served in hefty mugs that look big, but only hold 12oz. If you come early enough on a week day, they only cost $3.95, which isn't bad. Otherwise, you have to pay almost $6.
Service was sketchy a few times I went - even when quiet they weren't always concerned about our well-being - but other times the service has been excellent; attentive staff, will answer questions, and if they don't know the answer will ask someone who does. Quite pleasant, even the times they were generally inattentive.
The selection on tap is better than most places in Halifax, at least as far as quantity goes, but the 60 on-tap is quite padded by the large number of macros (Molson, Moosehead, Labatt's, BMC, etc). They have some locals, though, and during the off-hour "happier hours" they are decently priced.
The food is mostly pub food, and they deep-fry quite well. The food is served hot and fresh, and they have a few items that are quite substantial. The burger platter actually has two burgers on it - and when it's only $5 during the week (before 5), that's a damn good deal. Don't come here looking for gourmet, just solid pub fare to help wash the beer down.
The value of this place depends somewhat on the time of day - evening and weekends it's a little pricey if you want a few pints. During the middle of the day, though, it's quite fair.

The largest draught selection in Halifax, by virtue of lack of competition. They serve everything in deceptively chunky mugs whose volume I generously estimate at 12oz. For these they charge you somewhere in the neighbourhood of $6 - I can't remember precisely what it was last I went, but I assume it'll be another quarter higher next time I'm lured in. The food is good, and less ludicrously priced - they used to serve a good two-burger platter for $5, although they've raised that price too. Also, there are no more free peanuts. Why do I bother?
Well, because I can get St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout there. It has a fair sampling of Propeller, Garrison, Pumphouse, and McAuslan products, in addition to an unusually wide selection of macro domestics and imports.
This place has been declining. At this point, I'd save it for a one-beer lunch or perhaps a sampler tray. And when you need your Oatmeal Stout fix, go to Premier and pick it up for a quarter the price.

Visited here during a recent trip to the province and while not completely proficient in knowledge of Halifax's pub scene, I will at least say that Maxwell's Plum has the most taps I have seen in Nova Scotia (Regional BAs may know better). Located a few steps downhill from the Citadel, which we visited prior, Maxwell's Plum is a pseudo English pub having a large bar area, with several tables and high tops and a floor covered in peanut shells, the aforementioned legume being obtained non-gratis. Anyway, they have at least 60 taps and a very extensive bottle selections that cover Canada and Europe. For those not familiar with
drinking in Nova Scotia: beware the HST tax - about 20% extra. Not a bad place to quaff when in Halifax. A couple of rounds along with a few Stan Roger tunes and you're ready for a night on the town.

The atmosphere is really quite nice, carpeting and dark wood all over and piles of taps around the main bar. Lots of cans and bottles on display in cases, and a well divided floorspace which gives this place a much more intimate feel than a bar of this size would usually have. The TVs are a bit unfortunate, all over the place and quite large, but you can ignore them if you put your mind to it. Generally speaking, everything is of reasonably good quality, but they served my first beer in a frosted mug, which rather lowered my opinion of them. If you're going to advertise your beer selection you ought at least to know how to serve it. They don't have much in the way of glassware either: everything comes in a mug. They've got a bit of a reputation for poor service, but I went at a fairly slow time and found the servers pretty pleasant, and everything came pretty quickly. Selection is quite good, though it's mostly InBev affiliates and local micros. I'd appreciate a wider selection of imports, especially some top-notch English ones, as they are calling themselves an English Pub, but with 4 beers on tap from Propeller, 5 each from Garrison and the Pump House, and 6 from McAuslan I can't really be too put out about it either. Food is pub grub, but it's well made and tasty, so no complaints from me. Prices were pretty good, especially for local beer.
Not the sort of place I'd recommend for someone looking to get the Halifax bar scene on a visit, but if you're trying to get a good variety of Maritime and Quebec micros it's the place to go. Make sure to ask for a non-frosted mug though.

It's atmosphere is good for what it is. It's not a leisure pub, it's a sports bar basically. I like it because you can have loud conversations without disturbing anyone, and it's not too loud that you can acutally have a conversation. It's ideal for a medium sized group of people. Free peanuts, and you just throw the shells where you want. TV's with the game on, and VLT's if you're interested in that garbage.
Beer and food are usually of good quality, but often the cheap steaks are pretty bad.
The service is known for being bad. Sometimes it's ok, but often it's slow. I've been there a few times and waited up to 45 mins before being served, food isn't that slow, but expect to wait a while for a drink re-fill on a busy night. Also, the staff can be a bit sarcastic and are often uninformed about the beer.
Food selection is typical pub fare, but it has a great beer selection. Best selection in Halifax, with over 60 beers on tap I believe. You can get a large selection of the standard imports, with a few surprises in there too. Most Halifax micros and Pump House from New Brunswick.
Food is good, and they have many specials.
I recommend this place, it's a good place for a meal with friends or to start off the night.
Have been here a few times since the original review. The service is getting worse. Slow to take orders, slow to bring orders, often they screw them up, or just plain forget to place them. I often get brought the wrong beer, or receive the wrong bill.
Mandrake pointed to the glassware, yes it's terrible. Not only do they serve exclusively in heavy annoying mugs, they're often cracked! They also cannot pour beer properly, most times you can a 1/4 inch head.
I've adjusted my review accordingly.

text: A recommendation for tourists traveling to Peru to avoid the effects of altitude sickness is to spend time at lower altitude (such as Arequipa 7,000 ft - second largest city in Peru) prior to visiting Cusco or Lake Titicaca at 11-12,500 ft. For ordinary people who wish to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft), there are several treks that progress up the mountain in stages for the sole purpose of allowing the individual to acclimatize to the increasing altitude. Last year on the week of the PPA, I went to the top of PP and did some training above timberline. This was during the taper period, but assuming that some acclimatization can take place in only a few days, it seemed a reasonable thing to do. The intent was to send a message to my body that I was in thin air and that some adjustments were necessary, at the same time keeping in mind that this is during the taper just before the race. When I looked at the results, I noticed that I had one of the faster times from A-frame to the top for people around my finish time. HOWEVER, I purposely started out slow so that had probably a bigger effect than the brief amount of training at high altitude. I live at 8,000 ft and I have noticed that when I spend time at sea level and return home that I have lost some acclimatization. From my perspective, the acclimatization to high altitude disappears fairly quickly so high altitude training should probably be done close to the time of the upcoming race. For flatlanders, this may be an interesting link. http://www.ultimatekilimanjaro.com/high-altitude-training.htm

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
April 6, 2011 |
STAMFORD MAN INDICTED FOR EXTORTION David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that a federal grand jury sitting in New Haven has returned an indictment charging NICOLA MELIA, also known as "Nick," 78, of Brushwood Road, Stamford, with five counts of collecting extensions of credit by extortionate means. The indictment was returned yesterday, April 5. According to the allegations set forth in the indictment and statements previously made in court, MELIA made "street loans" to an individual in Fairfield County at high interest rates. On five separate occasions between November 14, 2010, and January 30, 2011, MELIA threatened this individual that he/she would be subject to violence if these debts were not paid. MELIA has been in custody since March 23, 2011, when he was arrested pursuant to a federal criminal complaint. He has been detained since his arrest. If convicted, MELIA faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years and a fine up to $250,000, on each count. U.S. Attorney Fein stressed that an indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Fairfield County Organized Crime Task Force, which includes members of the Stamford Police Department. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Hal Chen, Peter Jongbloed and Ray Miller. | |

The stakes are high for Mitt Romney in Michigan's presidential primary
Losing the Michigan primary would strip the last of the varnish off the image that Mitt Romney is the inevitable GOP nominee for president. It would also commit him to the long march he says he is prepared to wage.
A Rick Santorum victory next week would be bad for Romney — a public-relations nightmare for a native son of Michigan. But political observers say it would mean little to the campaign that still has more money than any other and remains better organized to compete to the end.
Santorum has shot up in the polls in Michigan and even leads Romney in some.
Romney is employing a familiar strategy: attacking his opponent's credibility. He did just that in vanquishing former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in Iowa and Florida.

The big news in telework last week was a report from the Office of Personnel Management that shows an overall rise in telework interest and use.
Based on agency-reported data, OPM's report states that the number of teleworkers increased by 11,046 from 2008 to 2009. That means more than 10 percent of eligible federal employees now telework.
On the downside, that represents only about 6 percent of all federal employees. But on the upside, those numbers only account for official teleworkers, and the number of feds working from home without formal telework arrangements appears to be much higher. Read more about that in Alyah Khan's report at FCW.com.
As part of Federal News Radio's coverage of Telework Week, Chris Dorobek interviewed Ronald Sanders, senior executive adviser at Booz Allen Hamilton and former chief human capital officer of the intelligence community. Sanders outlined the six key ingredients of a telework strategy. Check it out here.
Managers who still feel iffy about telework might want to check out this report issued last summer by the Partnership for Public Service. The report, notes Federal News Radio, found evidence that teleworking can help improve employee performance and job satisfaction.
Is telework "fraud, plain and simple"? Or does it actually reduce wasteful behaviors because technology makes it possible to monitor employees every minute? Washington Post readers expressed those extreme sentiments and everything in between in response to the Post's article on the OPM report. You can join the conversation here.
Meanwhile, the Daily Press, in Hampton Roads, Va., notes that one Virginia congressman wants to make it financially easier for employees to telework. Rep. Rob Wittman introduced a bill during Telework Week that would provide tax breaks for telework expenses up to $1,000, the Press reports.
Here are other recent telework stories from FCW.com:

To the writer above, as a general rule, you are not supposed to do work on a non-government computer as a Fed. So the reality is yes, the government is supposed to buy appropriate equipment for the purposes of telework, which in most cases is a properly configured laptop with VPN. This being said, the problem with many agencies is not that their isn't the capability technologically but rather a reluctance by managers to allow telework. My wife works at a shop where there is no telework, but for whatever reason everyone has a laptop. The reason why they have no telework is because the senior manager had one bad experience with an employee not working, and as a result now no one can get it.
There is a disconnect between the Telework Act of 2010 and the requirement for HSPD-12 (PIV) use of the federal ID for authentication. Unless federal agencies are willing to buy laptops for all staff that might telework, the HSPD-12 requirement will prevent using employee-owned equipment from being used. Since most agencies cannot affort to supply laptops to all employees, this will greatly compromise the telework effort.

VALKEALA, Finland -- Jayna Hefford of Kingston, ON and Geraldine Heaney of Weston, ON each scored twice to pace Canada's Women's Olympic Hockey Team to a 5-2 victory over the Finnish Women's National team in a three-country tournament game on Friday.
Karen Nystrom of Scarborough, ON scored the other goal for Canada, which won its second straight game in the double round-robin tournament. On Thursday, Canada defeated Sweden 5-3. The victories improved Team Canada's pre-Olympic won-lost record to 10-2 as the team prepares for the first-ever women's ice hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan in February 1998.
Hefford opened the scoring at 7:25 of the first period and gave Canada a 2-1 second-period lead with a power-play goal at 6:08, but the teams were tied 2-2 after 40 minutes. Tiia Reima and Sari Fisk were the goal scorers for Finland.
Heaney, with her two goals, including the game winner at 4:22 of the final period, and Nystrom, who also assisted on Heaney's second goal, provided the three-goal margin in the third period on Friday. Lesley Reddon of Fredericton, NB, faced 20 shots in goal for Canada, while Liisa-Maria Sneck stopped 25 of the 30 shots she faced in goal for the Finns.
Canada will play Sweden again on Monday and the Finns on Tuesday to wind up round-robin play. The top two teams following the round-robin will face-off in the tournament final on Thursday. Canada is 2-0 so far, Finland is 1-1 and Sweden is 0-2.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Central United Methodist Church was demolished in May, but pieces of the landmark church's history were uncovered Sunday.
Members of Canaan United Methodist Church opened a time capsule from Central after their Sunday service. The time capsule had been placed under Central's cornerstone in 1913.
"Last week I was saying to the congregation, it's sort of like receiving a telephone call from a hundred years ago," Carr Grubb, the Canaan United Methodist's lay leader, said. "How would you feel if you answered the phone and on the other end was a voice from a hundred years ago?"
Canaan United Methodist Church was formed in 2008 -- an intended consolidation of Central and other Charleston United Methodist churches.
"[The time capsule] is the last physical vestige we have of Central but the folks of Central are very much alive," Grubb said. "We're all here in Canaan United Methodist Church."
Noble Conner Jr., an 87-year-old member of Canaan, opened the time capsule. Conner's father, Noble Conner Sr., was one of the Central members that put together the time capsule 100 years ago.
Church officials and members have known what the members left in the time capsule 100 years ago.
Items include a Bible, a hymnal, lists of members of the choir and of Sunday school classes and newspaper clippings.

"What the heck? That's a Mobile Suit! IT'S A GUNDAAAAAAAAM!" The franchise bearing the name Gundam can be considered the anime equivalent of Star Trek. In 1979, a planned 52-episode series got cut down to 43 due to low ratings, but Mobile Suit Gundam (Kidou Senshi Gundam in Japanese) became easily one of the two most well-known and long-running series of the Humongous Mecha genre (the other most well-known being Macross). Created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, it's a veritable merchandising empire encompassing manga and video game tie-ins, plastic models and toys, (theme park rides and race team sponsorships). The comparisons to Star Trek line up in the rousing success of reruns, movies and the sequel series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, which solidified its status as a franchise, and where a western show would have a Trekkie, a Japanese show is likely to include a Gundam fanatic. Theme-wise, however, the franchise could be considered an antithesis of what Roddenberry's work represented; if there are strange new worlds to see, expect them to have a lot of the same problems we deal with on Earth.Gundam effectively invented the Real Robot genre, depicting mobile suits as mass-produced machines of war similar to planes or tanks, rather than unique creations solely responsible for defending against enemies. Of course, its Super Robot roots remain in the Gundams themselves — unique mobile suits (typically Super Prototypes or Ace Custom units) piloted by the main character(s) and the focus of much of the show.One of the most noticeable quirks of the Gundam metaseries is its prolific use of Alternate Universes; to date, there are eight different Gundam universes, each identified by the name of the calendar they use:— Mooks throughout the franchise. It usually ends badly for them. open/close all folders Universal Century (UC) The One Year War
Future Century (FC)
After Colony (AC)
After War (AW)
Correct Century (CC)
Cosmic Era (CE)
Anno Domini (AD) AKA "the current calendar system", notable for being the only Gundam timeline to avert the Alternative Calendar of other timelines.

The Gundam franchise is the Trope Namer for:
Gundam provides examples of the following tropes. Note that these are present in the metaseries as a whole; for specific shows, please use their individual pages.

The Food The food was good and very enjoyable. It wasn't the best I've ever had (it is, after all, basically banquet food), but never disappointed. Meals in the main dining room were more enjoyable than in the buffet. Unfortunately, the buffet was always chaos. This is partially due to the set-up - many foods must be served by a staff member which causes delay. However, the other issue here is that many of passengers ask a plethora of questions and complain, which slows everything down. The service in the main dining room is friendly, though a bit clumsy - drinks like iced teas and water go without refills ever after asking and for the first three nights of the cruise the service took so long that we either had to miss that evening's show or skip dessert.
The Service Again, service overall was very friendly, but often seemed to miss the mark. The major exceptions are the drink servers and the ship's librarian - both of which are stellar. On the first day when we arrived, the cabin was not properly configured for the number of people in our group, but they quickly fixed the problem. We also ran into an issue where one of our party members lost her hearing aid batteries - and none were available for sale on the ship. It's not Holland America's fault that the batteries were lost, but given the age of many of the ship's passengers it seems really bizarre that they do not stock any. We were told that there were assisted listening devices available for the show and that one would be delivered to our cabin, but this never happened. It took three days to find out that the devices were not compatible with the theater's equipment. However, on our first port day, someone from the ship delivered batteries to our cabin free of charge.
Amenities The new "Retreat" on the back of the Lido desk is visually a great space and will be really enjoyable when the ship goes to Mexico or other warm places. However, in Alaska sitting in a deck chair in a foot of water just seems like a bad idea. The Explorations Cafe (the library) is a really inviting space and the fact that there is a fulltime librarian helps to make it a really useful space, too. The Mix bar/lounge is one of the freshest spaces on the ship and many of the ship's entertainers come here to hangout. The pool area was kept nice and warm even though we were in Alaska - there is something strangely decadent about sitting in a hot tub while next to a glacier.
The Cabin The cabin was pleasant, surprisingly spacious, and functional. Plenty of closet and storage space. The cabin also had a new flat screen TV.

So DH is having some issues with our current sleeping situation with Darcy. She has been in bed with us, but like when DS was a newborn, DH is really uncomfortable with that. He doesn't sleep well because he's afraid of rolling over on the baby. Also, he's been super sensitive to her noises and is just not getting much sleep (who is at this point though, right?). We have an Arm's Reach next to the bed, but Darcy won't sleep in it - I think it's just too much space for her. We know that she'll be room sharing with us for at least 4-6 months, and DH is OK with that. I'm just looking for a solution that will help DH feel more comfortable and also a situation where Darcy will also sleep. Since she's in bed with us, she tends to want to be on the breast all night, which is another issue. We're trying to postpone offering a pacifier if possible, but I'm also wondering if that might help her sleep better in a location other than our bed. I hope this is all making sense.
We also have a Rock n Play that she sleeps in during the day downstairs. I've thought about bringing that up & trying it. Or maybe a Snuggle Nest or moses basket in the AR to make is a little more snug. Had anyone tried any of these, or have other suggestions?
My main fear is that DH will move back into the guest room again in his desperation to get a few hours of continuous sleep. He was in there for most of the pregnancy (because of my sleep issues) and I'd really like to have my husband back now. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!!

Why Do Scars Develop?
Are you an individual who is currently suffering from the appearance of scars? Do you constantly wonder how or why your scar has developed? Scars develop when the epidermis layer of the skin has become damaged and the skin begins its natural healing process. Scarring on the epidermis layer can result from a variety of skin issues and damage from other means: like trama. However, some of the common issues include acne, surgeries, or burns. Throughout the healing process of the epidermis layer, the body generates new collagen fibers, which helps repair the appearance of damaged skin. The final result of the healing process is that the wound has healed and the new scar tissue is then developed. After this process, a scar has successfully formed.

The same 36 at-large teams present in Chris Dobbertean's Tuesday projection remain there on Wednesday. That includes the Cougars, who fell in their conference final on Tuesday night.
Four more will join the party on Tuesday, the final night before the power conference tournaments get started. With only automatic bids awarded on Monday night, Chris Dobbertean's bracket is pretty much unchanged.
Selection Sunday is a mere seven days away, and time is quickly running out for NCAA Tournament hopefuls to gain the attention of the Selection Committee.
Harvard defeated Yale to book its place in the field of 68, and as a winner of an automatic bid, appears in caps.
Thursday night's action resulted in just a couple of changes from Chris Dobbertean's morning projection, and with a tournament-heavy Friday schedule, don't expect many revisions on Saturday either.
The Flyers and Cornhuskers have crashed Chris Dobbertean's Thursday bracket with Wednesday night road wins over Saint Louis and Indiana, respectively. The California Golden Bears and Minnesota Golden Gophers slide out for the time being.
After dropping their fourth game in their last five, the Orange are now residents of the three-seed line in Chris Dobbertean's Wednesday projection.
After Monday night's home loss to fellow bubble team N.C. State, Pitt now barely avoids a trip to Dayton in Chris Dobbertean's Tuesday bracket projection.
As March has arrived, it's time for bracketology to become a daily affair. On the final Monday of the regular season, the fourth top seed goes to the Jayhawks over sliding Syracuse.
Thanks in part to last night's wins, Arkansas and Oregon enter Chris Dobbertean's Friday bracket update, though they sit right on the edge of the field.

GOSHEN – Vishing is a new way thieves take your personal and credit information using a phone and your computer.
"There are some serious alerts coming from our server," said Chad Spencer with Maple Tronics in Goshen.
He recited a common pitch used by scammers known as vishers, people who scam you by phone. They are slick and their M.O. is simple: try to flip the script on you to get access to your computer and personal information.
Jackie Warrior, a WSBT news viewer, received one of those calls. On the other line, someone told her she needed to act fast because her computer had a virus and in just two days it was going to crash. That was when she started asking questions.
"Why are you alerted," questioned Warrior. "I have nothing to do with Global Tech."
Warrior asked the man on the other line why the company was in her computer. She said the man told her he was not but his company can get rid of a virus.
After a few minutes on the phone, she got to work. She took the number from her caller ID: 208-099-7526 and searched, online and discovered that it was not Global Tech. It was vishers on the hunt for another easy target.
"There are pages on there of complaints and different things," Warrior said.
Also featured were many people whose computers were hacked and the victims did all the work by following the visher's directions to visit their site. Spencer calls it "remote" control.
"Once they connect to your computer, they'll install a virus of some sort that will pull your personal information, banking, credit information and use it in a harmful way," said Spencer.
Warrior was one to be concerned.
"If they are in this area code, it may go through our area," she said.
In some of the forums related to the 099 number, unsuspecting victims lost between $200 and $1000 dollars. Some of the victims had to spend as much as $150 getting viruses removed from their computer.
WSBT learned Microsoft and other companies will not call you at home and ask you for your credit card information and they will not ask you go to a specific site to protect your computer.
