I make this punch every year for my son's birthday. It's perfect for Halloween. I changed the sodas to Diet, since we have diabetics in the family. It tastes great!

The next Google or other high-tech company may get its start in Statesboro. The city and Georgia Southern formally opened their new addition downtown.
Called an "innovation incubator", it gives small start-up companies a low-cost place to start and access to resources that will help them grow and succeed.
"This is a golden opportunity to help build new businesses in our community, generate new jobs and put more people to work. City Campus can be a catalyst for economic change in our region," said Georgia Southern president Dr. Brooks Keel.
City and university leaders said the project would not have been possible without $1.1 million in federal grant funding from the Economic Development Administration with the help of Congressman John Barrow.
Barrow told those gathered for the opening that Georgia Southern was the only university in the state besides Georgia Tech to receive a grant for such a center.
The center will offer office and work space, high speed internet and conference and classroom areas.

From the July 8 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
Loading the player reg...
In contrast to official temperature records showing a consistent warming trend, Fox Business reporters have claimed that the "temperature basically hasn't changed much since the ice age" and that it's actually "getting colder." Fox News figures have also denied the scientific consensus that human activity is driving climate change, claiming that carbon dioxide "literally cannot cause global warming" and suggesting that "Mars wobbles" or "wind farms" may be causing it instead. Those are just some of the 10 dumbest things Fox News, Fox Business and their websites said about climate change in 2012:
1. Fox Reporter: "The Temperature Basically Hasn't Changed Much Since The Ice Age." During the Ice Age, much of North America, northern Europe and southern South America were covered with ice sheets. Natural climate cycles led to the end of the Ice Age tens of thousands of years ago. In the last century, temperatures have increased dramatically as a result of our massive emissions of greenhouse gases. Yet Fox Business reporter Tracy Byrnes claimed in March that "the temperature basically hasn't changed much since the Ice Age," before confusing global warming with the depletion of the ozone layer:
2. During Record-Breaking Heat, Fox Anchor Claims "It's Getting Colder." During the third warmest summer on record in the U.S., David Asman, who hosts shows on both Fox News and Fox Business, claimed "it's getting colder":
3. Fox "Expert": Carbon Dioxide "Literally Cannot Cause Global Warming." Joe Bastardi is a meteorologist that is often presented as a climate change expert on Fox News, even though he has no climate science training. Bill O'Reilly has cited Bastardi as the reason that he is "skeptical" about global warming, but scientists have called Bastardi's statements "completely wrong," "simply ignorant," and "utter nonsense." In March, Bastardi attempted to "throw out 150 years of physics" by dismissing the greenhouse effect -- the reason there is life on Earth -- as impossible. Bastardi stated on Fox Business that carbon dioxide (CO2) "literally" -- yes, literally -- "cannot cause global warming" because it doesn't "mix well in the atmosphere." But physicist Richard Muller told Media Matters that CO2 is actually "completely mixed."
4. Fox Reporter: "Mars Wobbles" May Be Causing Climate Change. Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox Business reporter who often appears on Fox News, incorrectly said in November that "there's no consensus on what's causing climate change, and asked "is it solar flares? Is it the Mars wobbles? Is it the earth's axis tilting in a different way? I mean, that's the issue." After being subject to mockery, she tried to walk back her comments saying she doesn't "think Mars wobbles cause hurricanes," but did not explain her previous comments.
5. Fox Website: "Wind Farms Cause Global Warming." In April, a study found that nighttime temperatures in areas around Texas wind farms were higher than in areas without wind turbines. Fox Nation, a section of FoxNews.com, linked to a story about the study with a headline declaring that wind farms "cause global warming." But the study's authors called this coverage "misleading," explaining that it is "[v]ery likely" that "wind turbines do not create a net warming of the air and instead only re-distribute the air's heat near the surface, which is fundamentally different from the large-scale warming effect caused by increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases."
Fox News revealed its closing argument against President Obama, which consisted of a falsehood-laden attack on the president's record.
Fox & Friends ignored growth in real gross domestic product and private-sector jobs under President Obama to falsely claim that there has been negative economic growth since 2009.
Fox's Neil Cavuto and his guest used Tuesday's attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya to push for more domestic drilling and construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. But experts say that neither will reduce our vulnerability to price spikes, and that the only way to achieve true energy security is to use less oil.
Cavuto hosted the Consumer Energy Alliance's David Holt yesterday, who claimed that "we can drastically reduce our imports" by expanding offshore drilling and natural gas extraction, and approving the Keystone XL pipeline:
But Cavuto did not disclose that Holt has a financial stake in extracting tar sands. In addition to working for the industry-funded CEA, Holt is also a managing partner at HBW Resources, a lobbying group with "close ties to Alberta's tar sands industry," according to a Salon.com exposé.
National Review columnist Deroy Murdock echoed Holt's argument today, urging President Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline to give the U.S. access to "friendly oil." But an analysis prepared for the Department of Energy found that U.S. oil imports are "insensitive" to "whether or not KXL is built" because much of the oil transported by the pipeline would be exported overseas:
Fox News is twisting comments Michelle Obama made to claim she said that voting for Republicans could cause people to "die from cancer." In fact, the first lady was simply pointing out that repealing health care reform would increase the number of people without health insurance.
At a campaign event in Los Angeles on Monday, Michelle Obama discussed the presidential election and noted calls from the right to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The first lady pointed out that the reform bill was in part an effort to expand health care access, including a hypothetical "woman dying of cancer whose insurance company wouldn't cover her care."
Here's Fox & Friends' sinister interpretation of Michelle Obama's comments:
CARLSON: Let's talk a little bit about Michelle Obama, the first lady, out on the campaign trail, and she was talking about this cancer ad, the controversial one, or was she? Do you believe that she was insinuating back to that ad when she said that if you elect Mitt Romney, women will die from cancer?
MICHELLE MALKIN (Fox News contributor): Well, it's an interesting parallel -- it's an interesting echo of the ad's theme, of course, which is that somehow, if Republicans are elected to the White House, that all of these people are going to die, die, die.
Text aired during the segment read:
Later, on America's Newsroom, Fox News contributor Deroy Murdock said, "We've got President Obama's supporters and even Michelle Obama saying that if you vote for the Republicans, people will get cancer."
Fox did not make clear when Michelle Obama supposedly said this, but Carlson's commentary echoes a Washington Examiner post from August 13 highlighting comments Obama made at a campaign event that day. And in those comments, the first lady did not say that "if you vote for the Republicans, people will get cancer." The full context of her remarks shows that she was pointing out that prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, which conservatives have said they want to repeal, more people lacked health insurance:
But this election is also a choice about the health of our families. Now, the fact is that over the past century -- all right, 100 years -- there have been so many Presidents who have tried and failed to meet the challenge of health care reform. But fortunately your President was determined. Fortunately he was driven by the stories of people he'd met. We all know these stories -- the grandparents who couldn't afford their medications; the families going broke because a child got sick; the woman dying of cancer whose insurance company wouldn't cover her care. And let me tell you something, that's what kept Barack going day after day. That's why he fought so hard for this historic reform.
And today, because of that reform, things are different for so many Americans. Our parents and grandparents are paying hundreds less for their prescription drugs. Our kids can stay on our insurance until they're 26 years old. You know what that means for our young people? That when they graduate from college, and they're out there looking for a job, trying to get themselves settled, they don't have to go without health care. Because of this reform, insurance companies have to cover basic preventative things like contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care, with no extra cost. Because of this reform, insurance companies can't discriminate you because you have an illness that they call a preexisting condition. And if you get really sick, a real serious illness -- something like breast cancer -- and you need expensive treatment, you really need your insurance to work for you, no longer can your insurance company tell you, sorry, you've hit your lifetime limit and we're not paying a penny more. Today, because of health care reform, that is now illegal. (Applause.)
But make no mistake about it, this November we're going to get to decide: Do we want these reforms to be repealed? Because there are those who do. Or do we want the people we love to have the care they need? That's the choice we face.
Following relentless attacks on the solar industry in the wake of Solyndra's bankruptcy, wind power has become the latest target of the right-wing campaign against renewable energy. But contrary to the myths propagated by the conservative media, wind power is safe, increasingly affordable, and has the potential to significantly reduce pollution and U.S. reliance on fossil fuels.

Despite the scientific consensus that human-caused global warming is real and is negatively affecting the planet, the media have repeatedly provided a platform for critics who argue that the Earth is in a period of "cooling" or that the issue of global warming does not need to be addressed.
MSNBC's David Shuster allowed columnist Deroy Murdock to repeat the claim -- first made by climate change skeptic Martin Hertzberg -- that global warming is not occurring because "the Earth temperature has gone down 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1997." Rather than challenge that claim, Shuster named Murdock "our Muckraker of the Day" and "congratulat[ed]" Murdock for "stirring the pot." But climate scientists warn against cherry-picking yearly temperature averages as purported evidence that global warming is not occurring, especially from years in which El Niño and La Niña events occurred, as Murdock and Hertzberg did.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has announced that the University of North Dakota, in a joint bid with Ralph Engelstad Arena, is one of four finalists to host the NCAA Women's Frozen Four tournament for the 2014-18 championship seasons.
Cities were able to bid for one or more years of the same championship and UND's bid included each of the aforementioned seasons. Other finalists to host those championships include Minneapolis, Durham, N.H., and St. Charles, Mo.
"We're thrilled to potentially have the opportunity to host a NCAA Women's Frozen Four event," said UND Director of Athletics Brian Faison. "Ralph Engelstad Arena is the pre-eminent college hockey facility and has demonstrated a history of staging world-class sporting events. At UND Athletics, we constantly seek opportunities to bring major sporting events to the Grand Forks community that will showcase our University and facilities, while also providing positive economic impact for our city and region."
The finalists for all sport championships were selected by the respective sport committees, which are made up of coaches and administrators from NCAA member schools and conferences, from an original pool of 1,948 bids. The committees will select the winning sites, which must then be approved by the appropriate divisional championships cabinets/committees before being announced via webcast at NCAA.com on Dec. 11. The announcement also will include all pre-determined regional host sites.
UND had also previously submitted bids to host the NCAA Men's and Women's Ice Hockey Regional Championships.
Previous large-scale sporting events hosted by Ralph Engelstad Arena have included the 2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship, the 2006 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey West Regional Championship, the 2008 World Men's Curling Championship, the 2003 WCHA Women's Final Face-Off, and the 2005 NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Elite Eight.

CATEGORIES Movies"Skyfall" wasn't heralded as the "best Bond ever" for nothing. According to Deadline, the newest James Bond movie has just becoming the highest-grossing movie in U.K. history, making 94,277,612 pounds ($151,795,059) at the box office, enough to de-throne James Cameron's "Avatar."
"We're overwhelmed with gratitude to the cinema-going audiences in the UK who have made 'Skyfall' the highest-grossing film of all time," producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said of the achievement. "We are very proud of this film and thank everybody, especially Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes, who have contributed to its success."
Earlier this month, Sam Mendes relayed his happiness to Moviefone about the film's reception. "Skyfall" has currently raked up nearly $870 million worldwide in ticket sales.

A piece of Mishawaka history, up in flames.
It all started Monday evening at the RMG factory, formerly the "Dodge" building.
It's right next door to the Mishawaka fire department at the corner of Union and 9th Streets.
Battalion Chief, Jim Cocquyt says crews were on scene all day Tuesday putting out hot spots.
Cocquyt says, they've been on booms, 25 feet above the ground, moving material out of the way to get to those hotspots.
Cocquyt says the state and city Fire Marshals were also on scene Tuesday doing some preliminary investigating, but they still aren't able to get into the side of the building that collapsed. He says it could be a couple days before it's safe to do that.
Cocquyt says the building is actually owned by some family members of his, the Cocquyt Brothers.
It was a storage facility that people rented out for many valuable things like snowmobiles, vintage automobiles, RV's, even large boats.
"There's insurance on the building plus, most of the people who had their stuff stored in here have their insurance. It's going to be a mess to sort that our for a while," says Cocquyt.
Cocquyt says he's actually never fought a fire of this magnitude here before.
It's something they always talk about possibly happening, but it's difficult to prepare for.
"It's organized chaos when it happens. But luckily we work very closely with South Bend was here, Penn Township was here, Clay township was here. Our mutual aid system worked. We got a lot of help and we doubled the amount of manpower that we provided within the first hour," says Cocquyt.
Cocquyt says the wind was also a huge factor for firefighters last night and the logistics of getting around the massive building safely.
He says, all things considered, crews did a really great job of keeping the fire from spreading even more.

Fifteen feet of water may not sound that deep to an experienced swimmer, but it was apparently too much for an 11-year old Long County girl. Authorities say the child drown Sunday evening after swimming in a neighborhood bar pit. The pit resembles a pond, and is dug for drainage purposes. The victim was identified Monday as Anjalia Drake, 11.
Long County Deputy Coroner, Robert Parker, said the body of the young girl was recovered from the bar pit or pond adjacent to the Country Manor Mobile home park on Tibbet Road. The youngster apparently drowned while swimming in the 15 foot deep pond shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday. A private dive team was called in to retrieve the body. There was another child swimming with her at the time of the drowning. Stay tuned to WSAV News 3 for a news update, and keep watching this site for more details as well.

The good: The Sony STR-DN1040 is the most feature-packed AV receiver you'll find at this price. There's built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay, plus eight HDMI inputs, which is more than any of its competitors. It also sports a truly modern user interface with crisp, high-definition graphics. And the sound quality is fittingly excellent for a premium AV receiver.
The bad: It's somewhat expensive and more than what most buyers need. The included remote is cluttered with buttons, sure to put-off nontechies. And Sony's automatic speaker calibration wasn't quite perfect in our listening environment.
The bottom line: The Sony STR-DN1040 is a truly first-class AV receiver, boasting tons of wireless technology and a pretty user interface, at a premium price.

Summary: I am not going to cover all the inputs or specs here; you can look all that up and decide if they meet your needs or not. I want to talk more about my experience using the receiver.Edit:
In the past I have had Yamaha and Onkyo receivers. My Yamaha HTR-5280 receiver was from before receivers had HDMI. I have kept the same Aperion Audio 5.1 speaker setup in use ever since. Up until now the Yamaha was the receiver that produced the best sound in my opinion. None of my Onkyo (TX-SR705, HT-RC260, and TX-NR709) receivers have sounded as good, they didn't sound bad, they just didn't have the same sound to me. This Sony receiver has me really impressed with how it sounds and I think it sounds as good as or possibly better than my Yamaha. I like it a lot.
I have used auto calibration on all my Onkyo receivers using Audessey and they go through a lot of steps to calibrate. The Sony was quick and used some nicer sounding tones to auto calibrate. For all the steps that the Onkyo receivers made me go through I think the Sony sounds better with its quicker calibration. All my Onkyo receivers needed a boost in the center to hear voices well. This wasn't the case with the Sony.
All of the sources that I use now are HDMI. One thing that I didn't like about the Onkyo receivers was the slow startup and detection of HDMI sources. This receiver is much quicker. When the format from a source changes you will see the screen on the receiver show what it detected and is playing now.
I have a Marantz receiver that I am also reviewing right now and it, like all the other receivers that I have had do not have very good GUI interfaces. This Sony receiver is miles ahead of the others. It feels much quicker to respond, the layout is better, things are easier to see and read, just all over better. I am not saying it is perfect but after suffering through the others it is nice. There is still room for improvement though. I think the receiver's network app interfaces could use some brushing up as they aren't the best but they do work. When you are in the receiver's main menus and settings they display on the TV. However I don't see any overlay on the current picture when adjusting settings or volume. I am not sure if this was a decision to preserve picture quality or something else but be aware if that if you have the receiver someplace where you can't see it.
When it came to network and phone connectivity I didn't have any problems connecting a MHL cable or using Bluetooth on my Galaxy Nexus. The receiver has Wi-Fi and I used it. I had no problems connecting to my router and I haven't had any random network disconnects. So far it seems pretty solid. I have a Sony Music Unlimited Premium subscription and was able to use it with the app on the receiver. The receiver was able to find my Plex server and play music from it. I was also able to control the receiver using my phone with the Sony TV SideView app. A tip for registering the device and app together is to hit Home Network on the remote then the Options button and then scroll to find and select device registration. It took me a few minutes to figure that out. I also updated the firmware without a problem. It takes a little while but didn't seem to take as long as my Onkyo receivers did; they all take a long time to update.
Overall I think this receiver is great. There isn't anything about it that really annoys me. I think it sounds great. There are a lot of ways to get music content to it. It is pretty easy to use. It has a lot of inputs. The network connectivity is solid. It detects and switches formats quickly. Just about everything seems to come together and work well with this receiver and I think that it is going to have a home here for quite some time.

Summary: After reading the reviews I was really pumped about getting my new STR-DN1040 receiver. It appears you will get a great product or a lemon. I got the lemon. After 2 days it started loosing the picture on the TV. "Signal Lost". Then it would come back and then go out aprox every 3 seconds. It would continually do this until I would unplug and plug it back in. Then it would be good for the rest of the day. It took just seconds on the internet to learn I was not the only one having this issue. Sony refuses to admit it could be the receiver. Stated it has to be my Direct TV DVR. Replaced, No help. Replace your HDMI cables. Did that, No help. It must be your TV. Sorry, I am not replacing my $1700 TV. I took the receiver back and purchased the Yamaha RX-V675. Everything is working great. One thing I was not expecting with the Yamaha, but the picture is amazing compared to the Sony. Because I could not find one fix for this issue on the net or even Sony's site, I did not even think of swapping for a new Sony receiver. So if you do decide to get the Sony, make sure you can return it if you get the lemon. There is no fix for the ones that have the HDMI output issue. Just do a quick search on internet and you will quickly see what I am talking about.

Summary: I'm no audiophile, but I know what my ears like to hear and this SONY STR-DN1040 delivers quality sound in every mode, TV, streaming, BD or gaming and really, isn't that the ultimate goal of any receiver?
And to have such an awesome GUI interface just adds to the value of this box. The GUI is lightning quick, well laid out and so easy to use. True the remote is a little busy, but just like anything you use often, it becomes second nature.
The only issues I've come across was the speaker setup wizard, it took me about 4 tries to get it to set the speakers correctly, but once it did, it was very close to perfect. Another great GUI advantage is the manual setup you can do on the speakers. Once the wizard got it close, it was easy to make the minor tweaks to each speaker I wanted to adjust.
I've paired my receiver with the Energy 5.1 Take Classic's along with the Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8" Woofer and the sound is fantastic.
Football games (or most any sporting event) sound like your in the stadium and movies are off the chart with the sound quality.
I think I'm most impressed with the quality of sound with any streaming device. I think that is the real test of any receiver, is how music sounds from various sources and this one is fantastic. It's crystal clear with absolutely no distortion. The highs are crisp and the bass is not muddy at all.
This thing seriously rocks.

Pros: The standout feature is definitely the networking aspect - BlueTooth, AirPlay, and WiFi makes this thing so convenient to use with ALL of my devices that it is simply heaven. The 8 HDMI inputs, MHL, and USB are just frosting on the top of the cake.
Cons: Only one issue so far and that is the sometimes jarring noise it makes when starting up - sounds as if it is trying to suck up all the electricity in the house. Well, that is a bit of an overstatement, but it is surprising.
Summary: Previously I've had a high end Yamaha, high end Sony, and a mid-market Onkyo - the Yamaha and Sony were impressive, but the Onkyo began to fail after only ...
Summary: Previously I've had a high end Yamaha, high end Sony, and a mid-market Onkyo - the Yamaha and Sony were impressive, but the Onkyo began to fail after only 2.5 years of use, so it is nice to return to Sony at a lower price point, but seemingly with no loss of quality.
The tight integration with my mobile devices and PC makes this receiver perfect for me and my networked family and the sound is definitely worth it. I love being able to turn it on (or off) and control it from anywhere around the house and anyone in the household can immediately stream their own music to it easily.

The Hernando County Sheriff is calling on the community to help ease issues with animal control work. A tight budget has field officers overloaded with calls.
Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis is the first to admit the Animal Enforcement Unit is working on overload.
"It is a tough job and I want to get them a little bit of help," Nienhuis said Friday.
Right now, there are just four officers covering the entire county for animal complaint calls and transports to the county's shelter. It's leading to some problems. Just this week, an abandoned pit bull was dropped off by an enforcement officer to Animal Control, but vets were never alerted of the dog's dire condition. The next day, it was found dead.
That officer is now under investigation, but the sheriff says it highlighted the overall need for extra help.
"We had talked about it quite a bit, but this kind of gave us the push we needed to get it back to the front burner," Nienhuis said.
Right now, animal enforcement officers handle on average more than 800 service calls a month. Nienhuis hopes volunteers will help bridge the gaps caused by their budget.
"We still haven't fully recovered from the economic downturn, so this will be a relatively quick fix," Nienhuis said.
Volunteers will be trained to help officers with paperwork and responding to low-risk calls.
"If they can even take a little bit of load off these animal services officers, I think it'll be a win-win. It'll be great for the animals we're trying to help, it'll be great for the service we give to the citizens," Nienhuis said.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office just announced the need for volunteers on Friday and already they're seeing a huge amount of interest. For more information, contact Sue Raffensperger at 352-797-3660.

GEEN 2400: Innovation for the Community
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - $8900.00This E-Team-focused course, Innovation for the Community, offers lectures on entrepreneurship, IP, and team development from visiting mentors. E-Teams learn first-hand about product development by designing, building, and testing interactive learning exhibits for K-12 classrooms. Students explore the market potential for such products and evaluate competitor products at the Association of Science-Technology Centers conference. An important part of this course is that students "learn by doing."
The course is offered to sophomore engineering and business students who have not taken the course First-Year Engineering Projects. Experience has taught the PIs that students work harder and produce better products when they serve a real client. Students gain an understanding of how innovation causes people and society to change for the better. The course is part of the Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program that began as a grassroots, college-wide initiative to reform the engineering curricula to incorporate hands-on, team-oriented, project-based learning

City OKs three more First Weekends
PLATTSBURGH — City of Plattsburgh councilors agreed to party time in downtown.
The Common Council unanimously approved a request to close a section of City Hall Place from Bridge Street to Lower Court Street to vehicular traffic for three First Weekend events, set for the first Saturday of July, August and September.
That portion of the street will be blocked off to vehicular traffic from 2 to 5 p.m. to allow for music, exhibitions and other entertainment. The idea is to draw people downtown and generate revenue for local businesses.
Downtown merchant Colin Read said a group of business owners met recently and talked about the plan for First Weekends.
"There was a lot of enthusiasm in the room, and all agree on getting more visitors to downtown and creating more economic impact," he told councilors at Thursday night's meeting.
First Weekend premiered the evening of June 7 and all day June 8 in conjunction with the Biggest Loser Race events. All the music and entertainment was provided for free by volunteers.
Councilor Mark Tiffer (D-Ward 2) said the weekend was a big success, as many people attended and enjoyed the music and entertainment.
Initially, only one such weekend was planned for September, but the Biggest Loser provided an opportunity to do one earlier in the season. He said that with such success at the first event, the downtown merchants decided to try for three more.
"It seems like a viable event for the rest of the summer," Tiffer said.
"There were multitudes on hand to make downtown more vibrant for a three-hour period. I can't see any negative with this."
Councilor Timothy Carpenter (D-Ward 1) said he was concerned initially about closing off the street, but after meeting with the merchants, he was convinced.
"I'm on board to allow this," he said at Thursday night's meeting.
Councilor James Calnon (I-Ward 4) said the plan was a good idea, but he encouraged more use of nearby Trinity Park as well.
"We will see how this plays out, and we may have to re-visit this at some time, but the comments about it generating more business are right on," he said.
Councilor Chris Jackson (D-Ward 6) also supported the plan.
"Anything that can improve business downtown and get people used to going downtown is a good idea," he said.
Musician Kevin Sabourin, who performed at the June First Weekend, said such events help the arts community.
"The city taking a proactive stance helps," he said.
"I believe in the community and in the arts, and a lot of people want to believe in it."
The remaining First Weekends will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. July 6, Aug. 3 and Sept. 7.

BART unions approve 4-year contract

I hope no one is surprised...Why shouldn't they approve the contract...They got what they wanted and demanded. The BART Board created a big BS show.
We the people get screwed again and again...
I am sure the Cholo thing is smiling and maybe laughing...

Cholo, Tell us the permanent source of funding for this new agreement.

Turns out we don't have only to worry about the permanent source of funding, much of what BART management is spinning isn't accurate. As pointed out elsewhere, some of the claimed concessions are subject to arbitration and, likely, additional compensation. Also, the whopping $37 a month more for benefits (slow increase to the membership over four years) is only good for the life of the contract--it is not permanent.

does anybody think that perhaps they were lied to by BART management during the recent Union negotiations? just axing...

Maybe, maybe not. They certainly have switched to super spin now.
on Nov 11, 2013 at 10:24 am
What does it mean to "lie" if you represent/support BART management?
Has anyone studied the manner in which BART mgt. has lied to the public in the past 10 yrs.?

Cholo, Both sides stretched what little truth there was to be had. The losers are riders and taxpayers.
on Nov 11, 2013 at 1:58 pm
Oh, I see. We've got to get rid of the unions AND we have to get rid of BART management. Because Kathleen sat in on the negotiation sessions, has perfect understanding of the issues, and has thought about all of this without being personally biased. What? None of the above? She didn't sit in on sessions? She has no understanding beyond what select quotes she's taking from media? And she's unable to overcome a personal bias that was birthed early on in her life? Thought so! I think she should stand in front of a BART station with a sign in order to prove her relevance to the voting public.

Saul, Sorry the media, who has the contract, isn't good enough coverage for you. But nowhere did I indicate anyone, other than the BART board, should be eliminated. But then, you have to make these fallacious, fantastical leaps to express your faux outrage. Tell me which parts aren't true based on your research and knowledge, and maybe that stumper of a question about the permanent source of funding.
on Nov 11, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Sorry, MY outrage? I'm not the one calling for people's heads. Maybe you can wage a media campaign? "They lost to the union thugs; now Bart Board members must go!" While I cannot take your comments seriously, surely there are some out there -- da veg and others -- who might help supply you with the crayons you need.
on Nov 11, 2013 at 4:07 pm

That would be my opinion; they gave away the store despite the backing of the public. You didn't respond to which parts aren't true . . .

The Union out-slicked BART mgt. and now the Kathleen the college graduate! is working hard to ketchup because she got out-licked and just now figured that something bad most likely happened!
tee hee hee...
happy trails friends...

Interesting, Cholo, what "something bad most likely happened"? . . . the potential for the bottom half of ridership being hurt by fare increases; the grandfathering clause that will cannibalize future union members in favor of those who are already members?

Kathleen Ruegsegger is a registered user.
Nope; born here in the good old U S of A.
on Nov 11, 2013 at 8:20 pm
Cholo doesn't ride BART, so he could care less if the fares go to to support the union welfare contract. Once he figures out how to purchase a ticket a the electronic kiosks, maybe he will feel the same pain that middle class commuters feel daily riding this public welfare project.
on Nov 12, 2013 at 4:33 pm
a loud applause for the UNION...HIP HIP HOORAY! VIVA!
on Nov 14, 2013 at 6:00 pm
A loud raspberry for the union thugs and their knuckle dragging spokesperson and all those who support more commuter subsidized welfare for BART employees who couldn't find gainful employment anywhere else.

Back to the drawing board with these knuckle dragging BART employees. Gimme, gimme, gimme.....they are just like spoiled children. Cholo, you know I'm Right. These 'workers' don't deserve the amount of salary and benefits they are extorting. If they weren't working for BART, they'd be dealing on the streets with the skills they've acquired......

How could the attorney consultant for BART not have seen or read the contract thoroughly? I head from BART management that he was paid $400,000 for a few months work while he vacationed in Paris, France! tee hee...
How could BART management not have read and understood the contract before signing?
I think that the Unions! should be allowed an additional 2% salary increase over the next 4 yrs. to make this a fair deal.
Otherwise some will have to pay through the nose and I don't mean maybe!
i rest my case...
on Nov 17, 2013 at 9:49 am
I strongly recommend that all those pork-chops on the BART Board and BART management team all STEP DOWN! go away...far far away...
and i mean it...tee hee...made my day!
tonight my friends will gather around my table and we will share 3 pizzas...tomato, boiled potato and basil; spinach, black olive, & pesto; and a 3 cheese pizza...HOORAY! YUM YUM PLENTY! GORA!
I suspect my kitchen will sound like a room full of hyenas as we joke about BART and have what senior citizens refer to as FUN! FUN! FUN! HOORAY!

Create a Culture of Flexibility
Flexible work will benefit your business and your people if it is part of your organization's cultural DNA. But that won't happen if:
- Telework, flexible hours, compressed workweeks and reduced schedules are stand-alone, uncoordinated "programs."
- HR develops flexible work policies and the technology group rolls out products in isolation.
- "Flexibility" refers to the toolkit on the HR website that no one knows about or how to use.
- Work flexibility is not part of an employee's everyday or potential long-term career path.
This is the traditional, top-down, programmatic approach to work flexibility many organizations continue to follow.
It's a good start and doesn't require a lot of people, time or money; however, it won't make telework, flexible hours, compressed workweek, or reduced schedules part of your corporate culture.
To create a culture of flexibility, leaders, managers and employees need to be involved at all stages. Together they define the business case behind a more strategic approach to flexible work. They determine how people at all levels will have to do their jobs differently.
This change management and work innovation--based approach builds broad and deep buy-in that helps an organization:
- Discover the current state of flexible work in your business
- Create a shared vision of what flexibility will look like for people and the business
- Develop a tailored strategy that gets you from your current state to your vision
- Build readiness across the organization to embrace strategic flexibility
- Conduct "how to" orientation/learning sessions across many platforms
- Evaluate and improve your flexibility strategy after initial implementation.

Kudlow: You Can Hug and We Won't Ask, If You Don't Tell
by omnipotentpoobah, Mon Oct 04, 2010 at 10:38:39 PM EDT
First, it was the terrorist fist bump between the POTUS and FLOTUS. Then came that scandalous bow to the Saudi King. Now, we have the bro hug between Rahm Emanuel and Obama. Could these complaints GET any dumber? It's like a freakin' dispute over flag pins … on steroids.
CNBC goob, Larry "Loud Suit" Kudlow, has found it inexcusable that the two shared a hug when Emanuel left the White House. His complaint was that the hug was somehow unpresidential – unlike the double-cheeked smooches every other potentate in the world unloads onto a shocked worldwide audience.
Was it as unpresidential as the time the Pretzel Choker-in-Chief locked himself in a room during a trip to China and then mugged it up for the cameras? Or, how about the time he gave the unwanted back rub to Angela Merkel or carried on discussions with his willing dupe, Tony Blair, while open-mouthed chomping a dinner roll in a blizzard of French bread crumbs? Bush had the manners of a cowboy – a cowboy born in a barn in a cradle of horse apples at that. I heard rumors he farted at state dinners and followed up with the old, "the one who smelled it, dealt it" gambit too.
Remember folks, you heard it here first.
Now I know that Big Screaming Heads like Kudlow aren't subject to the same stringent rules under which Presidents labor. If they were, the markets would collapse every time they screamed their inane "financial" analysis over top of every guest the crapweasels host.
Hey, wait a minute! They did collapse! KUDLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
As long as we're going with the insulting stupid, what about Kudlow's clothes? Bravo needs to reprise an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to get the sartorially challenged asscake some help. Those horizontal striped ties go so well with his Mafioso striped suits. He looks like a damn TV test pattern.
Have you seen him in HD? It's a truly frightening experience in the same way IMAX theatres make people bilious.
Kudlow, it's time for you to learn to luv the hug. It's time for you to troop over and visit that other offensive CNBC jackwad, Jim Cramer.
Here's my boffo idea for ending each segment. When Cramer stops his crack-induced diatribes, and after he's shut off the bull grunts, bear growls, cowbells, and explosions – hug him. Just a little. Maybe a hug combined with a manly handshake or perhaps an NFL-style butt grab. Then, glory in it. Feel the freedom? Feel the tender moment of true friendship? It's OK even if you feel a little wood – a twig really, nothing ostentatious that would clash with your suit.
If you try it just once, I know you'll like it.
Then again, humanity isn't your game, is it?

Robot that can understand what user's say to it
I just used an mobile chat application 'Nimbuzz', where I see that their Chat Bot is very good. Whatever I say, it gives me relevant answer. How I can make such robot in PHP? What should be the correct approach?
People say that computer don't understand english, but in this situation, they did.I love to help and also to get helped.

It is not that computers don't understand English it is that it requires a lot of processing and programming. Can this be done in PHP? Sure, but it would require a lot of work.Logic without the fatal effects.

They don't understand English, they are engineered by creative people to mimic the appearance of conversation but it's really not. SIRI is a good example.

The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic MedicinePsychiatric Care of the Medically III, Second Edition
Edited by James L. Levenson, M.D.20111,200 pages
ISBN 978-1-58562-379-2Hardcover
Item #62379
This book captures the diversity of the field, whose practitioners—scholars, physicians, and clinicians of varied backgrounds—represent a multiplicity of perspectives and do not always agree on some issues. A quarter of the chapters are entirely new, and all have been extensively revised. This comprehensive text
Up-to-date, scholarly, and encyclopedic in scope, this text also reflects an understanding that the clinician must approach each patient as a unique individual coping with illness and medical treatment. A central task of the psychiatrist working with the medically ill is to empathically apprehend each patient's subjective experience of illness in order to design therapeutic interventions that modulate the patient's behavioral or emotional responses, decrease the patient's distress, and improve the patient's medical outcomes. Clinicians who evaluate and treat medically ill patients with psychiatric disorders will turn to The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine time and time again for guidance in this task.
"The second edition of the Textbook of Psyshosomatic Medicine: Psychiatric Care of the Medically Ill edited by James L. Levenson, M.D. provides up to date, evidence based information about the diagnosis and treatment of the common conditions seen in consultation-liaison psychiatry. Once again he has called upon a variety of national and international experts to write chapters on their particular areas of expertise. This will remain the classic reference book in this important subspecialty of psychiatry."—Daniel K.

The medical hub of Tyler just got a little bigger. Today the Tyler Cardiovascular Consultants opened up their new facility off the south east loop in Tyler.
There was a short ribbon-cutting ceremony with the consultants and the Tyler Chamber of Commerce.
The free-standing cardiac catheterization lab and imaging center make up much of the new facility. The center will offer stress testing, research, echocardiograms, nuclear imaging and PET imaging. CVC said this facility was a long time coming.
"This is really a dream come true. This has been part of our plan for the past couple of years. To see this come to fruition is very satisfying. All the partners have been very supportive on this, as well as my wife being very supportive on this, so I'm really excited," said Dr. Robert Carneys.
Construction will continue on additional footage within the facility for a sleep lab, exercise classes and educational classes.

Somber students return to school in Newtown; N.H. principal's nephew is buried
Mourners line the road to watch the hearse containing the body of Sandy Hook Elementary School student James Mattioli, 6, drive past on the way to a cemetery in Darien, Conn., on Tuesday. (REUTERS/Lucas Jackson)
NEWTOWN, Conn. - Two more students killed in the Friday massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were buried Tuesday, one the nephew of the principal of Bishop Brady High School in Concord, N.H.
James Mattioli, described in his obituary as a "loving friend to all" and an insightful student in mathematics, was the nephew of Brady principal Trevor Bonat.
A message sent out to Brady parents via the school's electronic network let them know about the relationship. A video of a candelight vigil at the school on Monday focused on a candle labeled in memory of James. It was adorned with an angel figurine.
Efforts to reach officials and faculty at the diocesan high school in Concord were unsuccessful yesterday.
On-line websites portrayed a boy who enjoyed swimming, sports, wearing shorts and T-shirts in any weather and his family.
"He loved and admired his big sister and wanted to do everything that she could do. They were the best of friends, going to school together, playing games together, and making endless drawings and crafts together," read the on-line obituary.
James Mattioli was memorialized in church that has become a focal point for the grieving community, St. Rose of Lima Church. The church also celebrated a funeral mass for another student killed in the massacre, Jessica Rekos, 6.
Twenty first-graders and six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. It remains closed, and students and their teachers will attend a school in nearby Monroe, which had been previously mothballed.
Other schools in Newton opened on Tuesday.
Head O'Meadow Elementary was among a handful of schools in Connecticut where hyper-vigilant authorities responded to threats or questionable comments on social media such as Twitter and Facebook. In some cases schools were locked down briefly. Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said only a few incidents have been reported, but all will be aggressively investigated.
"Any (conduct) like this will be treated seriously," Vance said. "It's not funny." People found responsible could face state or federal prosecution, he said.
At Reed Intermediate School, not too far away from Sandy Hook, parents milled in the parking lot after dropping off their children.
At Hawley Elementary School, Peter Muckell dropped off his 8-year-old daughter.
"I just wanted to get them back into a routine," said Muckell, who also has a 13-year-old daughter in the school district. "I just told her I loved her, and I kissed her."
Muckell said the issue of gun control should be addressed.
"Are we literally going to watch all our kids get slaughtered before we do something?"
Newtown High School sophomore Mike Stierle, 16, said returning to school feels "surreal, definitely. Not expecting anything like this to ever happen to this community."
"I really got to get to class," he said, before running off toward the school.
In an email to Sandy Hook Elementary staff and parents on Monday, Superintendent Janet Robinson wrote that officials hope to open Chalk Hill School in Monroe in January.
Using that school "is a solution that allows us to keep the entire faculty together," she wrote. "In the meantime, we need to tend to our teachers' and students' needs to feel comfortable after this trauma in this new place."
She wrote that parents will be invited to visit the school with their children this week.
"For some children, it will be simply to re-enter a school and know that they are safe," she wrote.
Hundreds of Newtown teachers and staff prepared Monday to return to school, attending a session with a national expert on children and bereavement, followed by meetings with state mental health counselors.
Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor, who has been on site in Newtown since Friday and attended the sessions Monday, said that he has been "moved by the professionalism exhibited by school personnel, their determination and their positive energy - all despite the unspeakable and unimaginable circumstances."
At Newtown High School on Monday, all school employees, from administrators and teachers to paraprofessionals and cafeteria workers, came together to listen to David Schonfeld, director of the Cincinnati-based National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement.
After the meeting, Schonfeld said he gave the teachers and staff suggestions on how to approach talking to students about the tragedy that occurred last week at Sandy Hook.
While you don't want teachers to begin sobbing, Schonfeld said he told them: "It's perfectly fine for teachers to become tearful or choked up" or "to share with them that they were a little more scared when they came to school today."
By allowing students to see that they were upset by what happened, Schonfeld said, teachers can help children understand how to cope with their own distress.
"You can't expect kids to learn how to cope if everyone pretends they are not bothered by it," Schonfeld said. "They should show their emotions. ... If you want kids to talk about how they are feeling, you have to let them know how you're feeling."
Schonfeld developed talking points for teachers in Newtown - and also for use around the state. In general, Schonfeld suggested that teachers give an age-appropriate description of what happened last week, including the fact that the assailant shot and killed himself after the attack.
"This young man died on Friday, so we don't have to worry about him hurting anyone else," Schonfeld suggested saying.
Schonfeld also suggested asking kids what they've heard, what their friends are saying about this. This gives teachers a chance to correct any misperceptions, while also giving them a perspective on how students are doing. Also, in some cases it may offer a safe framework for students to discuss their own worries.
In his guidelines, Schonfeld suggests teachers reassure students that the school is committed to keeping them safe and that they are there for anyone who wants to talk.
"We want to create an environment where it's safe for kids to talk about their feelings," Schonfeld said.
But Schonfeld said he told the teachers, "We are not expecting you to create a therapeutic environment ... You're there to provide support, not therapy."
If a child needs more personal help, schools have counselors available.
Schonfeld, who spent several days in Newtown, said he thinks the response to the tragedy has been "in good hands. ... The state is providing a lot of support and advice."
Pryor said that after the session with Schonfeld, the staff broke out into smaller clusters and met with counselors from the state departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Children and Families, to discuss their own feelings and what to expect with students on Tuesday. Pryor said the state Department of Public Health has also been providing assistance.
