(Paul Alexander's cover for the 1977 edition)
3.25/5 (Collated rating: Vaguely Good)
I have long been a fan of Frank Herbert. In my youth I scarfed down Dune (1965) and all its sequels and cried (metaphorically) when his son Brian Herbert made a mockery of his vision. I even read the more dubious novels in Herbert's canon: from The Green Brain (1966) to the co-written (with Bill-Ransom) novels of the Pandora sequence i.e. The Jesus Incident (1979), The Lazarus Effect (1983), and The Ascension Factor (1988). I have found many of his non-Dune novels worth reading (Destination: Void (1966) and The Dosadi Experiment (1977), etc).
More recently I have started to read/review the handful of his novels I missed as a child—so far the solid and unexpectedly complex The Eyes of Heisenberg (1966) and the lesser Continue reading

CNA is lying and is hurting workers
by adamterando, Sun Mar 16, 2008 at 08:03:51 PM EDT
Late last week SEIU indefinitely postponed a planned unionization vote for over 8,000 nurses within the Catholic Healthcare Partners (CHP) hospital system in several states including Ohio and Kentucky. The vote for unionization was expected to pass and nurses in these extremely anti-union areas would have won a victory for on-the-job representation and for the entire progressive movement. So what happened? A rival union decided they knew what was best for these workers before the vote occurred and sabotaged the whole thing. Why? That's what these nurses are trying to figure out now...and the answers are enough to make any progressive's blood boil. More below the fold.

Following the effectively moody first trailer for "Battle: Los Angeles" -- oops, sorry, "World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles" (we guess the title change is there to make sure that folks know shit is going to blow up real good) -- the film's marketers have opted to show less footage and deliver more voiceover in the decidedly less thrilling second spot for the film.
The film stars Aaron Eckhart as the leader of a Marine platoon trying to make it across a battle-ravaged LA in the midst of a global alien invasion. The cast also includes Michelle Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Michael Pena, Lucas Till ("X-Men: First Class"), Ramon Rodriguez ("Transformers 2") and rapper Ne-Yo, and it's helmed by Jonathan Liebesman ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning") so, you know, take that for what it's worth. If the something about this recalls "Skyline," that's because the directors of that film, Colin and Greg Strause, did the special effects here and similarities were so striking that lawsuits were threatened. But with "Skyline" more or less tanking, Columbia seems to be a bit a less worried about the competition.
As for use, the eye candy looks like nice enough in the trailers so far, but whether or not it can sustain a film remains to be seen. The movie opens on ow, on March 11, 2011 and we really hope the 'World Invasion' isn't going to be used as excuse to make sequels in other cities but we fear it will be. Synopsis and trailer after the jump (or in HD at Apple).
For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world - Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world's great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It's up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they've ever encountered before.
JoJo | December 7, 2010 3:44 AM
The link you provided still shows the title as Battle: Los Angeles. Trust me on this: as of now, "World Invasion" is *only* being used internationally. Also, if you just go to the URL at the end of this trailer, it takes you to the Sony international website.
Kevin Jagernauth | December 6, 2010 9:37 AM
IMDB has changed the title as well: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217613/
Pretty certain it's the new title.
JoJo | December 6, 2010 9:33 AM
This is the international teaser, which is why the title is different. In the U.S., it will still just be called "Battle Los Angeles."

Tribune enterprise editor
Haynes International reported quarterly earnings were down more than 18 percent from the second quarter of 2012 as the Kokomo-based alloys manufacturer struggles through a downturn in demand for aerospace-related products.
"The current economic environment for our products is somewhat muted and visibility is very poor," Haynes CEO Mark W. Comerford said in a conference call Friday. "Whereas our second fiscal quarter was better than the first fiscal quarter with land-based gas turbines, chemical processing and our other market showing a sequential increase, we were still negatively impacted as customers continue to be very conservative."
Comerford cited issues with the global economy and declining commodities prices as factors in the quarter, as the company's price per pound revenues fell.
Haynes net revenue in the second quarter of 2013 came in at $129.2 million, down 18.7 percent from last year's $158.9 million. Net income in the quarter was $6.4 million, down 57.9 percent from fiscal year 2012's $15.2 million.
Company officials said a slowdown in orders from the aerospace industry contributed to the downturn, as revenues from the sector, which is 38 percent of Haynes' business, were down over 20 percent from last year.
Revenues from the chemical and land-based gas turbine industries increased from the first quarter, and Comerford noted that 2012 had been a record year in the land-based gas turbine sector.
Comerford and Haynes Chief Financial Officer Daniel W. Maudlin said they expect the downturn to be temporary, and said the company is still on schedule for expansion projects in Kokomo and Arcadia, La., to come online in early 2015. The company is expanding production capacity for flat-rolled products in Kokomo and for tubular products in Arcadia.
Both officials indicated a drop in nickel prices may have prompted some customers to put off restocking Haynes products in hopes of discounts.
"We believe this period of uncertainty, low visibility and sluggish consumer demand is temporary. As we navigate through this period, we continue to focus on the long-term demand drivers and growth potential of our markets. When the economy recovers, we feel we are well positioned to capitalize on those future opportunities," Comerford said.
"People are being rewarded right now for putting off purchasing by the fact that nickel keeps going lower. ... People are playing a little bit of a nickel game right now, and that's where we've expressed a lot of concern to people that you can't keep doing this. We can't just turn the faucet on and off."
According to Maudlin, net income in the third quarter may be lower than net income for the second quarter.
Haynes stock was trading up slightly Friday, at $46.94, after dipping close to a 52-week low in early trading. Net income for the second quarter was $6.4 million, or $.52 per diluted share, compared to the net income of $15.2 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, in last year's second quarter. Haynes (HAYN) is traded on the NASDAQ exchange.

FORT OGLETHORPE, GA. (Times Free Press) -- Erlanger at Hutcheson lost nearly $1 million in January, but overall losses at the North Georgia hospital have slowed since last fall.
Financial numbers showing the hospital had budgeted for a $580,000 loss compared to an actual $982,000 loss were presented to the hospital board during its monthly meeting Wednesday evening.
The hospital has lost $4.2 million since the beginning of its fiscal year in October. Both Hutcheson and Erlanger Health System, which manages Hutcheson, have struggled to return to financial viability after deep losses.
The slow but steady improvement in numbers comes less than a week after new CEO Roger Forgey announced the hospital would cut less than 5 percent of its 825-member staff over next 60 days to trim costs and "right-size" the hospital.

Sore legs force Manny to rest for Dodgers
Move prompts team to recall DeWitt, put Milton on DL
SAN DIEGO -- A suspended Manny Ramirez had 50 games to keep himself in game shape, but his absence from Sunday's lineup because of sore legs contributed to a roster move, and manager Joe Torre said he's likely to ration the outfielder's playing time until the All-Star break.
The Dodgers recalled infielder Blake DeWitt from Triple-A Albuquerque because they need a left-handed hitter off the bench. Juan Pierre would be that left-handed hitter, but he's become Ramirez's designated replacement, taking over in the sixth inning the first two games and starting in left field Sunday.
To make room for DeWitt, the club returned pitcher Eric Milton to the disabled list with a thoracic back injury "that never went away," according to Torre. It's the same reason that put him on the disabled list June 6 when the Dodgers had off-days upcoming and didn't need a fifth starter.
In a stroke of fortunate timing, Monday is an off-day. But it's not great timing for Milton, who had been scheduled to start Saturday in Milwaukee. Instead, Torre said he's considering Jeff Weaver, who has made four spot starts earlier. Torre said he'd decide Tuesday.
As for Ramirez, Torre said: "It's his legs -- he's not in game shape yet. He can pinch-hit today and we can leave him in the game. He has to get his legs under him. Running back and forth to the outfield, it takes some time. By the time the second half starts, he should be all the way back. That's what Spring Training is all about and, unfortunately, he had his season interrupted."
Of course, the club was hoping Ramirez would work the kinks out during the 10-game Minor League assignment that is provided for players returning from drug suspensions. But Ramirez took advantage of less than half of the assignment, playing part time in only five games. In those games, he had only 10 at-bats and played left field for a total of 20 innings.
In his first two games since returning, Ramirez is 1-for-6 with a walk, the only hit a line-drive home run Saturday. In both games, he was replaced by Pierre after a sixth-inning at-bat.

Dan Tordjman with his wife Marti.
When asked about my lifelong love of horse racing, my answer is never as simple as it is for the usual "why do you like this?" question. For example, I like sushi because it tastes good, I like Pearl Jam because they make awesome music and I like Vanderpump Rules because my wife likes the show. But with horse racing, where do I start? If I had to boil it down to one thing, I guess I'd say horse racing makes me feel young, like a carefree child. Of course, I can't help but elaborate.
Like many hardcore race fans, my father introduced me to the game. He didn't grow up around horses, never owned any (until we recently joined a partnership) and despite living in New York, probably would've gotten lost trying to find Belmont Park in the mid 1980s. That's because until 1981 my dad, who was born and raised in Morocco, had mostly been exposed to racing in France. So, when he went apartment hunting in Brooklyn, the appearance of the off-track-betting parlor on East 16th St. must have been a welcome sight. He ended up moving into an apartment three blocks away and has lived there ever since. In fact, he's outlasted the OTB. I've rarely seen him more devastated than when it shut down, along with the rest of the New York City OTBs, a few years ago. We were together on the day of the shut down, as we were on the day I fell in love with racing.
On May 6, 1989, I was just 6 years old and it isn't very likely that I had any concept of what was about to unfold in Louisville, Ky. I also apparently didn't understand that every New York racing fan was throwing their support in the Kentucky Derby behind a locally based horse named Easy Goer. All I remember was instantly falling for the horse who would become Easy Goer's main nemesis, Sunday Silence. It might've been the striking contrast of his imposing dark coat splashed with a powder white blaze or it might've been as silly as the fact that I just liked his name. Whatever it was, Sunday Silence was my horse and when he won the Kentucky Derby, horse racing was my game.
As the years went on, my early racing memories remained vivid but life went on. I got lost in the usual interests that appeal to young people and ultimately, the responsibilities that fall on adults. I attended Syracuse University and graduated with degrees in Communications & Rhetorical Studies and Broadcast Journalism. After graduating, I spent almost a decade traveling the country while working in the TV industry. While working at an NBC News affiliate in South Carolina, I met my amazing wife, Marti. She has been a constant source of support and encouraged me to do the single thing that led to my formal introduction to the industry and America's Best Racing.
I started out small and launched a website in early 2013. DanonymousRacing.com initially focused on only handicapping. I analyzed races, wrote elaborate analysis and posted picks at major tracks all over the country. I didn't know if anyone would ever see the site. I decided to share my posts on social media and that's when amazing things started to happen. People on Twitter not only saw my picks, they started using them, winning with them and spreading the word about my site to the horse racing fans they knew.
TORDJMAN (center) WITH FRIENDS
Things began to snowball as I started to connect with race fans all over North America. Sharing picks turned into sharing stories about why I love racing and why others love the sport. Before long, the site turned into a forum for horse players and regular fans to reflect on the sport, be giddy about it and to tell stories that might inspire non-fans to give racing a try. The memories shared in the stories I kept hearing and reading spoke to that magical feeling of being young again, carefree and open to endless possibilities.
I am beyond thrilled to be able to share my horse racing love story, and those of so many others, as a Brand Ambassador for America's Best Racing in New York. I strongly believe in the mission of ABR and in the power of the racing experience. If we can get young people to the track we will surely build a new generation of fans who are just as passionate about the game as our fathers were and as dedicated to strengthening it as many of us have become.
In the coming years, I also hope to wave the ABR flag while promoting multiple charitable causes that are vital to the success and integrity of horse racing. I am proud to have already coordinated fundraisers that have raised thousands of dollars for the Permanently Disabled Jockey Fund and several off-the-track Thoroughbred organizations. I hope to continue this good work and get others involved in it as well. There are so many great things going on in horse racing. We've just got to keep telling people about those things and show them how rewarding it can be to get involved with the greatest sport in the world.

Worth Celebrating: Your Heart!
February 9, 2012 at 11:24 am , by Amelia Harnish
When I think of February, I think of red—lots of it. Not because of all the cheesy (but fun) Valentine's Day stuff, but because it's American Heart Month. February doesn't really start until that first Friday when we celebrate National Wear Red Day.
Did you participate last week? (We did! That's us, the @lhjHealthLadies on Twitter, above.) This year, Go Red for Women is hosting a challenge on its Facebook page to spotlight its most spirited supporters. All you have to do is submit a photo of you and your coworkers or friends (or pet!) wearing red. Then, until February 23 people can vote via "Likes" on their faves. Winners will be announced February 25.
Here at the Journal we start gearing up for February way in advance, when we plan our heart health coverage for the magazine. Yes, some of it can be glamorous—like the beautiful photos we shot of a model hooked up to an EKG (below) for this year's story. But the real reason we devote pages to cholesterol, blood pressure and the myths and realities of heart disease is that unfortunately, it is still the number one killer of American women. And women between the ages of 35 to 54 appear to be dying from it at an increasing rate, despite decreasing rates among other groups. This year, we also learned that nearly half of women say they wouldn't call 911 immediately if they thought they were having a heart attack. That's crazy! Women are also less likely to be diagnosed correctly, making them less likely to receive life-saving therapy right away.
All of this is why we sent one of our over-stressed writers with all the wrong risk factors to see a cardiologist and report back. And why we decided to interview a heart attack survivor turned blogger about why doctors dismissed her symptoms at first. Sometimes personal stories say it even better than statistics.
But that doesn't mean stats aren't useful in their own way. Yesterday, I went to a briefing hosted by the Mayo Clinic, The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and WomenHeart where I picked up a few telling numbers:
- 1 in 2 women will die of heart disease or stroke, versus 1 in 25 who will die of breast cancer.
- 8 million: the number of American women with a history of heart attack or angina.
- Do you smoke? Besides the fact that 30 percent of heart disease deaths are caused by smoking, your risk of heart disease is 25 percent higher than a male smoker's. (And social smoking counts—you don't have to smoke a pack a day, or even a pack a month, to hurt your heart.)
- 90 percent of women have at least one risk factor.
But the most important number is this one: 80 percent of heart disease cases are preventable. There are lots of things you can do to keep your heart healthy, and the sooner you start the better. Check out our resources page if you need a little direction.
Happy American Heart Month from the LHJ Health Ladies!

Our progress and achievements in the 1970s
The 70s were a time of turbulence as an energy crisis led to a three-day working week for many.
The UK went decimal, replacing shillings with pounds and pence, while violence flared in Northern Ireland and England in the struggle between loyalists and unionists.
Hippies grew their hair long and wore tie-dye, kids rocked out to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, while the Sex Pistols outraged many with their punk antics.
In labs and hospitals across the UK, our researchers continued to search for new ways to beat cancer. Here are some highlights from that time.
During the 1970s, overall cancer incidence and mortality rates remained fairly stable, with no real changes seen for breast or bowel cancer, or rates of lung cancer in men. However, rates of lung cancer in women increased, reflecting the post-war rise in female smoking.
Incidence and mortality rates for non-Hodgkin lymphoma rose in the 70s, while death rates for Hodgkin lymphoma fell by a third in this decade, similar to the 25 per cent drop in death rates seen for testicular cancer.
In the 1970s, five-year survival from testicular cancer improved from 69 per cent to 78 per cent, the biggest change seen for any cancer, for any decade. Today testicular cancer five-year survival has reached an impressive 98 per cent - this is partly thanks to the drug cisplatin (see below).
In the 1970s around 900 children died of cancer each year - today the number is fewer than 300, thanks to improved treatments developed through research.
Professor Sir David Lane - now Cancer Research UK's Chief Scientist - discovered the p53 protein, which is faulty or inactivated in many cancers. 1 This fundamental discovery paved the way for treatments that are being tested in clinical trials today.
There's more about Professor Lane and p53 on our Science Update blog.
Our scientists were among the first to show that the drug cisplatin had strong activity against cancer. 2 The vast majority of men with advanced testicular cancer now survive the disease thanks to treatment with cisplatin in combination with other drugs.
Dr Renato Dulbecco, Deputy Research Director of our London Research Institute during the 70s, shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his work on how viruses can convert normal cells into cancer cells.
In the 1970s we made a major breakthrough in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The four-drug treatment, known as MVPP, was used extensively in the UK for many years and helped to improve survival. 3
In the 1970s, Cancer Research UK worked in partnership with the NHS to set up five medical oncology departments to stimulate research on cancer medicines and develop expertise.
This move established medical oncology as a new clinical specialty in the UK. Our first centres were established at St Bart's Hospital and at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, now the largest cancer centre in Europe.
And we're still going strong

|Stephane Tchakam, Charge de Communication Pan Africa ILGA
Normally tranquil Botswana has plunged into a fierce public debate about whether homosexuality is "un-African", sparked by a new lawsuit against the country's sodomy law. Wedged between liberal South Africa, which allows gay marriage, and conservative Zimbabwe, where President Robert Mugabe regularly lambastes gays, Botswana has emerged as a testing ground for competing visions of African social values.
The court case was filed on March 4 by Caine Youngman, founder of a group called Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Botswana (Legabibo), which the government refused to register in 2009.
He argues that the sodomy law violates his constitutionally protected freedom of expression, and he has won support from the Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV (Bonela) and other civil forums.
"I never freely express my sexuality because of the law that criminalises sex between people of the same sex," Youngman said in an affidavit.
He originally announced the lawsuit two years ago, but delays in gathering paperwork for the court meant it was only filed early this month. During that time, Botswana's gays received an unexpected – if cautious – voice of support from no less than former president Festus Mogae.
As head of the National Aids Council, Mogae last year began speaking out against sexual discrimination, saying prejudice was hindering efforts to fight HIV in a country where one in four adults had the disease. "We do not want to discriminate. Our HIV message applies to everybody," he said last year in his first remarks on the issue.
"If we are fighting stigma associated with sex, let's apply it to sexual discrimination in general," Mogae said.
He has continued speaking out, telling the BBC last weekend that during his 10 years in office he had instructed police not to arrest or harass gays.
"I could not change the law because that would be unnecessarily stirring up a hornet's nest. I was not willing to lose an election on behalf of the gays," he said.
"The majority of our people are still opposed (to homosexuality) so I must convince them first before changing the law unilaterally," he said.
But the backlash has been vocal.
Parliament's deputy speaker, Pono Moatlhodi, told local media that gays were "demonic and evil" and had no place in African society.
"On this point I would agree with Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe who once described such behaviour as that of Western dogs," he said. "I don't like those gay people and will never tolerate them. They are demonic and evil."
Conservative religious leaders have also claimed that homosexuality runs against Botswana's culture.
"Our nation has done well to keep these legally and customarily unacceptable, and we must resist any suggestions that would lead to homosexual marriages in our nation," said Biggie Butale, head of the Evangelical Fellowship of Botswana.
Such intense debate is rare in Botswana, which prides itself on its stable democracy, but has few public disagreements with a largely homogenous population. The nation's diamond wealth is generally seen as well-managed.
Current President Ian Khama has straddled a middle line, saying he had no problem with homosexuals as long as they "do their things" behind closed doors.
Derision of gays as "un-African" infuriates Youngman, a 27-year-old inspired by the freedoms he sees across the border in South Africa.
"Enough is enough. Gays are Batswana, and were not made in a cocoon somewhere and put in this country to corrupt the Batswanas," he said.
"I need to be free in what I do. Gay people are no different from the rest of the nation and they deserve that freedom."

As the Golden Gate Bridge Transportation District makes a major shift to an all-electronic toll system this weekend electronic kiosks for cash paying customers have been rolled out in Marin and San Francisco.
At the kiosks (scroll down for location details), drivers can pay for their bridge toll up to 30 days before or 48 hours after they cross the iconic span, allowing them to avoid receiving an invoice in the mail for their toll.
District Spokesperson Mary Currie demonstrated using one of the kiosks inside a San Rafael Chevron station on March 1. (See the above video.)
The machines appear straightforward, but have one counter-intuitive element — users have to hit a green "next" button each time they want to move to a new entry line on a form.
"If I were to give anybody advice, learn to use the 'next' button," Currie said.
Drivers can also use the kiosks to add money to a FasTrak account, add money to a license plate account, pay a mailed invoice or pay a violation. All they need is cash and their license plate number. See more information about the different options cash-paying drivers will have here.
People from any U.S. state can use the kiosks. Also, people with a vehicle that doesn't have a license plate yet are still required by California law to pay the toll, Currie said.
Some Kiosk locations (up to 150 are being added through the end of this month):
- Country Club Shell, 5821 Nave Drive, Novato
- Chevron, 1320 2nd Street, San Rafael
- Gateway Gas, 1005 Northgate Drive, San Rafael
- Variedades Cellulares, 26 Medway Road, San Rafael
San Francisco
- San Francisco Farmers Market, 4929 Mission Street
- DJ Market, 3278 Mission Street
- Family Market, 198 Broad Street
- 19th Avenue 76, 1400 19th Avenue
- Alcatraz Market, 757 Beach Street
Daly City
- Daly City Market, 333 87th Street
Officials plan to have 150 kiosks rolled out by the end of this month.
Drivers can also make a one-time payment on the district website, where there is also information about opening a FasTrak account and using other payment options.
The all-electronic system will save the district $16.8 million over eight years, district officials said, and Currie said cost savings, particularly on salaries and benefits, are the biggest driver of the switch. The move will lead to 14 toll workers losing their jobs at the end of March, she said. Of the 28 full-time toll collectors employed by the district when the electronic switch was decided upon, 14 have either retired or transferred to jobs elsewhere in the district.
The all-electronic plan has generated some controversy among Bay Area drivers.

The Indiana Pacers host the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Pacers will try to win their 10th straight home game and more importantly try to continue making up ground in the Eastern Conference standings where they currently stand in third place, two games behind first place Miami.
The Pacers lost their only other meeting with the Bobcats in their second game of the season at Charlotte. In that game, Kemba Walker torched the Pacers for 30 points as the Bobcats scored 35 points in the third quarter. The Pacers tried to rally and limited Charlotte to just 16 points in the fourth quarter but the blue and gold had their own offensive struggles and couldn't put out the win, instead losing 90-89. New coach Mike Dunlap employed an effective zone defense that stymied the Pacers .
That game seems like a few years ago at this point and the Pacers are currently playing at a much higher level. The Pacers still can't just show up and beat anybody, proof of that is how they have struggled recently to put away the Washington Wizards. Charlotte was shut down by the 21st rank defense in Toronto last night, scoring just 78 points so you would think pride would bring out a better effort against the Pacers. Fortunately, the Pacers have the top ranked defense to throw at Charlotte and that may be just what then need to get a W tonight.
UPDATE: Paul George sitting out with the flu!

text: The Iowa State Cyclones have been competitive in every game they have played this season losing their four games by a total of 23 points... Including a 42-35 loss this past weekend to 16th ranked Texas Tech. That's why it is kind of surprising that the odds makers have made Iowa State a 32 point underdog to 12th ranked Baylor. By comparison---last week Jacksonville was a 28 point underdog to Denver--which is the largest NFL point spread ever. The Bears do lead the nation averaging 63 points a game---but the Cyclone players feel very disrespected.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, please keep them coming! They are extremely helpful!
One of the problems I have with going APS-C is that I do see myself going full frame in the future, and I don't want to spend any more money on Crop lenses, if I won't be able to use them in the future (unless in crop mode). And the reason I don't just get a 60D with a 24-105, is with the crop factor, I don't know if 24mm-->really 38mm is wide enough.
Given your future is NOT aps-c, then a used 5d2 with a 24-105 sounds like a pretty good way to start. Good luck.

This year's annual enrollment period is Monday, July 14th through Friday, July 25th. This is your opportunity to make changes to your State Benefits as well as your TWU Voluntary Benefits. This is the second year of the TWU Voluntary Benefits Program and the enrollment period will be combined with the State Benefits enrollment period.
To apply for TWU Humana Supplmental Benefits log into the Humana Enrollment site.
ERS has announced information regarding plan changes for plan year 2015.
- Please see the ERS Annual Enrollment page and plan year 2015 rate sheet at http://www.ers.state.tx.us/Employees/Annual-Enrollment/.
- A new Dental Discount Plan has been added as a 3rd option to the two dental plans currently offered. Careington International Corporation was selected as the provider for this plan. This is a dental discount service plan and not a dental insurance plan.
- Based on a survey conducted of ERS participants, the TexFlex health care plan will take advantage of new IRS rules allowing employees to carry over $500 for TexFlex health care plans. This change is effective for the plan year starting September 1, 2014. This change will eliminate an employee's ability to incur additional claims during the grace period but will not affect the deadline to file claims during the grace period. Participants will have until August 31 of each year to use all but $500 of the money in their health care accounts, and can file claims for reimbursement through December 31 of that year. The TexFlex dependent care accounts will not be impacted by this change.

Freshwater mussels have a particularly unusual system of reproduction. Males release their sperm into the water with the hope that a nearby female will siphon them up to fertilize her eggs. Once fertilization occurs, the female produces larvae called glochidia, which she then releases back into the water. At this point the mother is out [...]Keep reading »

I am making an application for Planning Permission where the property has no direct frontage to the public footpath or road.
The location is urban but the house is set back approximately 15 metres from the public footpath, and the land they own extends 7 metres in front of their house. To access their land, and park their car, they have a right of way to cross the land in front which is owned by the next door neighbour.
Relations are not good with the next door neighbour and the client does not think the neighbour would give permission to place a Site Notice on the neighbour's property.
However to position the Site Notice within the boundaries of the client's property would mean that it would not be able to be read from the public footpath.
Would anybody know what the legal situation is? Does somebody have a right to place a Site Notice on a piece of land over which they have right of way?
Alternatively, is there another place that Site Notice could be positioned that would satisfy the planners?

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass
Light amber with no real head to speak of almost looks like a cider, laces a small amount down the glass due to the film it leaves around the edge
Smell is of light hops and some pumpkin sweetness as well as a subtle note of spices
Tastes near just like it smell, the puimpkin really feels likes it gonna come out in a big way when you first take a drink but it fades very quickly, there is alot of different flavors in this beer problem is there just isn't enough of them.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin but not to bad, compelxity is good the beers flavors blend well. Medium body but just barely.
Easy enough to drink just wish it had more flavor to be more appealing to do so

While Iam not a pumpkin pie fan,I haved enjoyed alot of the pumpkin ales I have had,I really enjoyed cottonwoods pumpkin ale down in NC.This one however fell a little flat,poured a nice deep orange color with pretty decent sized head,smell was not strong enough for me some hint of spices but not rich enough for me.Some spiceness and a very faint pumpkin taste just kinda left me wondering where the rest of it was.I'll be sure not to seek this out when Iam back in Michigan.

Appearance - pours a cloudy pale orange with a thick two finger white white head (dissipates quickly with some lacing).
Smell - Hop and spice notes are present with subtle but appropriate notes of pumpkin.
Taste - hop and malt notes are suprisingly noticable given the expected presence of sweetness, spices and pumpkin. While the latter can be identified, I was left wanting just a bit more.
Mouthfeel - light body with appropriate carbonation.
Overall - when i buy a pumpkin beer i'm really not looking for a whole lot more than some entertainment. this beer was decent and it satisfied my craving on the first chilly night of september, but there aren't any aspects of this beer that could be considered exceptional.

12 bottle poured into a Bell's tulip glass
It pours a transparent copper color with a minimal off-white, almost tan head capping the beer which dies ever so quickly. No lacing at all.
The nose is easily distinguishable as cinnamon and nutmeg. The spice level is restrained which I usually prefer but this might be a little too restrained.
The taste once again highlight the subtle spicing but it seems a little stronger than the nose which I like. A little mineral character seems present as well which is out of place.
The body is right where I would like in a pumpkin beer, medium/ full bodied. The added pumpkin may be adding some addition body or starchiness which I like and it finishes pretty smooth as well. Drinkability is above average. Overall a decent pumpkin ale.

served on draught at Old Chicago in Okemos, MI.
Mostly clear coppery amber in color with just a hint of haziness. Thin very white head dissipated very quickly to a thin white ring that stuck around through to the end. Light partial lacing.
A sort of malty pumpkin pie spice smell. Compared to other good pumpkin spiced brews out right now, this one seems a bit weak, but still a bit better than your average brew.
Nice solid amber ale, a bit on the dry side, good balance, and only a hint of pumpkin. Perhaps it's just me, but I would normally expect more pumpkin in a pumpkin beer. The finish is mostly clean and short and there is a bit of pumpkin spice in the finish.
Weight in the mouth is quite average - not bad, but not particularly good either. Carbonation is reasonable, but again, just middle of the road and nothing to write home about.
As for drinkability, one of these was plenty and I was ready to look for something different, even if it was a different pumpkin beer. It sounds like I'm really cracking on this beer and I don't mean to, but it is very average and, well, kinda boring.

Purchased from Discount Liquor in Milwaukee, WI. Pours a very hazy pale amber body with a thin white head. Aroma is pie spices, most notably nutmeg. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The nutmeg and spices are up front with the malt sweetness. Some faint pumpkin flavors are noticed in the finish. A good pumpkin beer, but not my favorite.

Pours into my glass an amber orange hue with a small off white head on top that quickly becomes a thin ring. Lots of particulate in suspension. Aromas begin with caramel toasted grains alongside plenty of cinnamon and nutmeg spiciness. Pumpkin aroma is light but comes through nicely. Slightly earthy and vegetal.
First sip brings a toasty sweet caramel malt that is quickly swept up by an array of spice flavors. Cinnamon and nutmeg all over the place. Vegetal pumpkin flavor moves in on the way down, but the spices really dominate here. Ends with a touch of lingering sweetness and a big spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a subtle creaminess. Good steady carbonation. It makes itself known while still being drinkable. Overall, this is a pretty good pumpkin ale, just a little too much on the spices for me. Not really a brew I'd drink more than one of in a sitting.

A- A plush dark Amber color. Looks like dark honey
S- Pumpkin spice. Faint nutmeg.
T- Tastes like a cold piece of pumpkin pie by itself. No creaminess.
M- Moderate body. Fuller bodied than most pumpkin ales I've had.
O- At this point, this is the best Pumpkin ALE I've ever had. I prefer Pumpkin Porter, but if you want a great pumpkin ale in mid-late October, steel gray sky and watching college football, look no further.

After having a bottle of Ichabod last fall, I was not impressed by the beer. It was an average brown ale with just the slightest hint of pumpkin and spice.
I had it again last night on-tap due to a lack of anything else interesting and it seemed to be an entirely different (for the better) beer.
Color was an appropriate cloudy 'pumpkin' orange with a slight white head. Smelled lightly of pumpkin pie. Tasted strongly of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Finished with a nicely balanced bite of hops. A fairly light beer with a good amount of flavor, though the mouthfeel was pretty thin. Perhaps a bit too sweet, but quite drinkable.
Not a tremendously complex beer, but unique and enjoyable. Recommended.

Notes from Fall 2010
Pours clear amber with one finger of head and nice slow rising carbonation.
Smell is pretty subtle, some nutmeg and a slight amount of pumpkin coming through, but not much.
Tastes of pumpkin and a bit of brown sugar. Some drying spice notes on the finish. Pretty good,but that's about it.
Has a lihgt/medium body with good carbonation; slight lingering bitterness, mostly from the spices.
Not bad, but the spices seem to hurt drinkability in this case. Nothing I would want more of.

TASTE: Smooth, moderate size body, toasted cracker, fermented pumpkin flesh, spice, nutty yeast, dates, dry grainy finish
An extremely tasty pumpkin ale. Best thing about this beer ... it tastes like a beer and one I would want to have more than one of. That is saying a lot for Pumpkin Ale IMO.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic pint.
Appearance: Amber-orange with the slightest haze. Very thin head with just a touch of lacing.
Smell: Caramel malts, English-style hops and very light spice (cinnamon mostly). No pumpkin detected.
Taste: Dried-out caramel malt body with a strong spiciness that seems to be a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and English hops. The pumpkin taste is noticeable but very subtle.
Feel: Moderately high carbonation, medium body, great dry finish.
Drinkability: Comes across as a dry, heavily spiced Amber Ale more than a Pumpkin Ale. Very refreshing, even if not quite as expected. The battle cap said "quaff" on the inside, which is very fitting for this beer.

12oz. brown bottle,served into a pint glass.
Hazy golden with an amber hue.1" creamy white head falls quickly to a collar of foam. Some nice tiny bubbles, tighly knitted together streaming from the sides of the glass.
Faint aromas, fruity,with a kind of apricot aroma. Some grainy/bisquity aromas. No real pumpkin or spices related to it in the aroma.
Spicy taste with some allspice/cinnamon. Has a astigent,powdered feel from the spice,also spicy tartness.A dry bittering finish with a touch of cirtus rind. Didn't taste any pumpkin at all.
Light body with a rough grainy texture. Uninteresting beer,just did't seem anything like most of the pumpkin beers i've tried. Not a beer i would recomend.

Hazard Mitigation
Mitigation includes any activities that prevent an emergency, reduce the chance of an emergency happening, or lessen the damaging effects of unavoidable emergencies. Investing in preventive mitigation steps now such as strengthening unreinforced masonry to withstand wind and flooding and installing shutters on every window will help reduce the impact of hurricanes in the future.
To withstand the forces of wind and water associated with severe weather, there are five major considerations:
Mitigation is defined as sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards and their effects. This definition distinguishes actions that have long-term impact from those that are more closely associated with preparedness for, immediate response to and short-term recovery from a specific event. The intent is to focus on actions that produce repetitive benefits over time, not on those actions that might be considered emergency planning or emergency services.
The rationale for mitigation is simple: it makes sense.

San Antonio's City Council gives the ok to plans for establishing a new registry for out of town porperty owners--whose homes have been cited more than once for code vioations. It's a problem many Councilmembers said they see in their own districts.
"We have a lot of absentee property owners from California or somehwere--that we can not really get in touch with--and talk about code compliance issues" said Councilwoman Elisa Chan.
The new registry could impact up to one-thousand homes said Assistant City Manager Rod Sanchez.
"They have two or more (code violations) within a 12 month period--those are the folks we want to have good information on so we can work on compliance" Sanchez said, adding the plan goes even further.
"We also want to require they have a local agent--someone living here in San Antonio that we can work with that once again--we can get quickler compliance" Sanchez said.
While Councilmembers are hopeful the registry will eliminate a problem, it does have it's critics as well.
"If San Antonio goes down a path of property registration, it's our fear that San Antonio will become a less attractive place to buy property" said Justin Landon with the San Antonio Board of Realtors.
