Building Steel Buildings in California
Constructing pre engineered steel buildings for california can be complicated depending on the buildings codes. Some of the seismic requirements are extreme and the building must be beefed up to support these conditions. With the proper engineering anything is possible, no matter what the building codes are. Gertting permitted to build in California is usually harder then most common places, due to the high seismic coefficients (Earthquake) getting permitted to build is not simple. However with a good engineering company this task becomes much easier. A qualified engineer will take the time in making sure the building is built to code and also send you proper drawings for permitting.

How to Insulate a Metal Building
If you have or are planning on assembling a metal building in a hot or cold climate insulation is a must.
The three materials you will need to insulate your building are: insulation, double-sided tape, and metal tape.
To assemble insulation on a new steel building you sandwich the insulation between the sheeting and the Girts/Purlins. Add the double-sided tape in your kit to the Girts/Purlins. Unroll the insulation on to the Girts/Purlins assemble metal tape to hold the insulation in place, just make sure you leave a small gap for air space.
To assemble insulation on an existing building simply take the sheeting off your building and repeat the first process allowing a bit of sag for air to ventilate.

Historic church faces razing
East Bridgewater's demolition delay bylaw is all that stands between the wrecking ball and a grand church that was central to 19th-century life in the once-bustling Elmwood section of town.is
The 40-member East Bridgewater Society of the New Jerusalem Church has applied for a permit to tear down the 156-year-old Elmwood New Church on West Street. It plans to replace the drafty old church with a single-story metal building, saying the change will allow for a downscaled, handicapped-accessible structure more in line with the size of the congregation.
The local Historical Commission can invoke the town's demolition delay bylaw, but that would only stall destruction of the church for 120 days. Invoking the ordinance would require the congregation to explore viable alternatives to razing the historic building.
The plight of the Elmwood New Church is sadly a sign of the times, said Brian McNiff, spokesman for the Massachusetts Historical Commission.
"The issue comes up frequently: to keep a building by preserving it, or to tear it down,'' he said. "Right now, well over 100 towns in Massachusetts have demolition delay bylaws to give people a chance to pause and look at alternatives.''
Those alternatives can be hard to come by, especially when the age and condition of the structure make reuse impossible or extremely costly.
In the case of the Elmwood New Church, the decision to raze it was triggered by renewed focus on the building's poor condition by the town's new building inspector. When Edward Gardner took over last spring, he began by touring public buildings. He found the church had several structural deficiencies, and the roof supports were so rotted he feared the listing steeple might crash right through, said the Rev. Donna Keane, the congregation's minister.
"Lack of maintenance over the last 50 or 60 years created most of the problems,'' said Keane. "The congregation is dwindling. We didn't have the money to pay for the required repairs.''
The church building has since been condemned. An attached community hall, built in the late 19th century and used by neighborhood groups for everything from theater performances to flea markets, was shut down several years ago, when building codes got tougher following the Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island.
The congregants are temporarily meeting at the local Methodist church.
The old church held its final service on Nov. 7, drawing about 150 townspeople.
"There was sadness, gladness, anger, and joy,'' Keane said. "Change is difficult on everyone.''
The history of the Elmwood New Church dates to 1820, when a local group studying the religious teaching of Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg began meeting.
In 1854, they built the church, which was crowned by a soaring steeple with a clock believed to be fashioned by Edward Howard, a 19th-century Boston clockmaker. Later, the congregation installed stained glass in the church's largest window frames.
Nineteenth-century Elmwood was a bustling village, comprising many homes, shops, and shoe factories.
Local historians say President Abraham Lincoln requisitioned shoes for the Union soldiers from the village's shoemakers. In reaction to the 1861 First Battle of Bull Run, the first major land battle of the American Civil War, Elmwood New Church minister, poet, and scholar Timothy Otis Paine carved a poem into a rock in a Cottage Street grove owned by his church. The rock, with its carving, remains.
The 16 acres owned by the church on Cottage Street will serve as the congregation's seed money for the future church building. "We already have a purchase-and-sale agreement for a residential development,'' Keane said.
Peter Swanson said he can trace his family back to the church's earliest congregations.
"It's very emotional and sad for me and for all the generations of my family,'' Swanson said. "But I'm young enough to look at this as 'The future is rebuilding.' Change is inevitable, and this building has been breaking down for 20 years.''
The East Bridgewater Historical Commission is set to open discussion about the church's plan at 7 p.m. Monday in the town hall.

Importance Of Engineering
Engineering of metal buildings result in the ease of the buildings construction. When a buildings engineering is poorly done the buildings pieces wont fit and hundreds of other problems will come up, costing you time money and stress. A buildings engineering will determine the buildings strength, lifespan, and appearance.
Poor engineering usually results in problematic permitting issues, what can be problematic? and why would anyone choose a company of such? Poor engineering is usually premeditated to earn business with low price, the buildings permitting is up to the customer and many companies will not mention anything about permitting. Once the customer makes a deposit the drawings are produced, if there is a problem with the drawings the customer will have to pay to have them redone, usually costing arms and legs. When a customer is getting quoted, their quotes will very. A good amount of quotes will seem much cheaper, due to cheap engineering using lower grade materials and minimum requirements. In the steel buildings industry price should be the last thing a customer looks at.

Steel Garage
In the twentieth century a device came along that revolutionized the way we live. Thanks to this device, distances that were previously took weeks to complete now take mere hours. In the past, people would spend a day walking to travel the distance that now days we do twice a day, to our workplace, to our school, or wherever we want to go. This device was called the automobile, and it has even been said to symbolize the ideals of the United States of America: freedom of movement, technology and speed.
Now, it is interesting that such handy tool, used by millions of people around the globe, day by day is often just stored on the street, free for vandals to defame and weather to wear. In the olden days, people would treat their travel facilitating equipment (horses) with proper care. They would keep them in stables to protect them from the coldness and dampness. Nowadays however, we live in such wealth that we tend to take everything for granted. The reader may be wondering, how does this have anything to do with cars? Aren't they supposed to withstand rain and snow? Well this is true, but so are coats. No sooner should you leave your brand new expensive coat outside in the rain than should you leave your car under similar conditions.
It is a simple matter of protecting your investment. All over the world, people spend millions of dollars a year in keeping their cars in shape. Millions of cars are being sold and bought every month. Many of them are used cars. When you look at a used car, you can tell which one has spent years in the rain, and which one has been in a garage. Buying and setting up a simple steel garage nowadays is quite inexpensive. It is not a luxury by any means! In today's economy, what truly is a luxury is allowing our vehicles condition (and therefore price) to deteriorate when we can prevent it from doing so with the simplest means.
The answer to this is easy. Having no garage is simply no excuse for careless laziness. If you have a car and you live in a place which does not have ideal weather conditions, a garage is a must. Steel garages are not only inexpensive and simple to set up, they are extremely easy to set up. It is no more difficult than to set up a tree house and yet these buildings provide the protection against weather, burglars or everyday accidents that you need.
If you don't have a garage, buying a car is a waste of money if you don't invest in buying a steel garage to protect it.

Building in Mid-Autumn
Constructing a pre-fabricated structure is best done before winter's snow fall. If you are interested in putting up a building before winter, mid autumn is the latest time to get your building materials ordered. It is not possible to pour a concrete slab in the winter due to all the snow fall.
The steel buildings construction process is much easier to do in spring or fall, when the temperature is just right. Working in summer heat or in the winter cold slows down the erection process. Waiting to order a building at the end of autumn is a common thing to do, the problem with that is everyone is ordering at that time. Everyone is rushing to beat the snow fall, and manufacturing gets backed up. MBMI steel buildings can guarantee a basic building delivery within 30 days.
MBMI will have approval drawings to you within a few days, stamped engineered drawings within 2 weeks, and your building delivered to your job site within 30 days, MBMI metal buildings is has engineers in-house available to assist you from the design stages to the erection stages.

Pre-engineered metal buildings: from churches to rodeo arenas
There are several things to consider when you decide on building. Choosing the right materials, the right sizes and the right dimensions are no small task, its also very important to choose the right manufacturer. Some of things you will need to take into consideration include safety, cost efficiency, time and durability. You will want to choose a manufacturer and materials that allow modern, safe, economical and quick solutions for your building needs.
These days prefabricated steel buildings are gaining popularity in a number of areas. Prefab steel structures are suitable for a number of purposes such as airplane hangars, storage areas, garages, workshops and even churches. They also offer one of the best, safest, and most durable solutions for agricultural buildings and horse riding arenas.
Not only are they more safe and comfortable for the animals and the people working with them, prefab metal structures also enable owners to cut operating costs, and optimize space. A traditional wooden barn is much more susceptible to fire and other natural disaster than a steel building. Not only is a steel barn built with an I-beam more durable than a light gauge pole barn, the nature of the structure also provides more usable space.
Agricultural steel buildings can be designed to make optimal use of natural lighting, which saves a lot of money in the long run, and also offers an environmentally friendly solution. Using insulation packages the structures can efficiently be kept cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Steel riding arenas can be constructed with or without walls, the latter offering great ventilation, while simultaneously keeping rain out. Fully insulated, enclosed riding arenas make for ideal riding temperatures even in the winter time.
Pre-engineered metal structures are suitable for small storage sheds as well as over 200 feet wide clear spans great for horseback riding and rodeos. The convenient thing about prefab metal buildings is that they are expandable. If you choose to build a riding arena, you can later add stables, pens, metal barns or spectator stands as needed. Another advantage of structures consisting of several components assembled on site, is that they save time. They are constructed faster than conventional buildings.
Whether you need a place for your hobby, need extra storage room, want safe and comfortable housing for your livestock or horses or if need a clear span space for safe and enjoyable horseback riding, or almost anything else you can think of, these modern, economical and versatile structures are definitely a solution to consider.

Advantages of Prefab Steel Church Buildings
Steel buildings are renowned for their versatility and designed to easily accommodate custom demands without the expense of conventional construction. Unlike buildings made of wood, steel buildings will meet the strictest of the demands. To choose steel means that you can rest assured knowing that your investment is well protected.
They are available in a variety of sizes and designs: they are easily designed for use as a barn, heavy equipment storage, garage or even a church, and can be fully equipped with numerous accessories to provide windows, doors, and other necessary options. Unique features and layouts are also available, whereas costs can be kept on a low level. Lined with insulation packages they make it possible to keep the cold out in the winter and keep cool in the summer, thus saving you money. Let us now focus our attention to church buildings to see the various benefits these constructions provide.
When planning your religious facility, economy and efficiency are of paramount importance. Pre-engineered steel buildings are unique and versatile facilities that can be used for metal church buildings, steel school buildings, steel community centers, educational facilities and metal religious centers, just to name a few. Metal buildings offer the advantages of design flexibility, energy efficiency and the predictable stability of a steel building. The main reasons for the popularity of metal churches are the cost advantages of the pre-engineered construction, the ability to erect them fast, the flexibility in construction and use, attractiveness, and safety.
Providing your congregation needs a gathering room, a choir room, a vestibule, a youth room, metal church buildings can accommodate all of these needs. The entire metal building system is pre-drilled, pre-punched, pre-engineered and pre-fabricated so you save time and money. Compared to wood, stick or brick buildings, steel church buildings are more energy efficient, easier and faster to construct, and up to 50% cheaper to purchase.
The construction costs of pre-engineered metal buildings are significantly less, typically cost about half of a conventional construction. There is no welding or fabrication on site, and no waste. You can use unskilled labor, or even church volunteers can help.
Additionally, another important factor can be taken into account. With steel you can go green, it is highly recyclable, which makes your steel church environmentally friendly. Thus your congregation will be the proud owner of a green metal building, doing your bit to make the world a cleaner and better place to live.
To sum up, steel church buildings possess various benefits potential costumers might take into consideration. Typical pre-engineered metal buildings take less time to build and reduces financing costs. They can be modified easily and in many different ways without any major structural change, so it can really grow and change as the church's needs grow and change. You can construct steel church buildings which are not only durable and cost effective, but are also environmentally friendly.

Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings
For the past 50 or 60 years, pre-engineered metal buildings have become a multiple billion dollar industry. They were originally used by the oil companies because of their ease of construction, versatility and low cost. Over time, they have evolved into much more elaborate structures that are currently being used for all type of warehouses, storage facilities including mini-storage, airplane hangars, store fronts, factories and virtually any type application you can think of. Some of these pre-engineered metal buildings do not even look like metal buildings at all. They are available in many colors and can be designed with sophisticated crane systems, mezzanines and even with solar panels for energy efficiency. Today most people refer to these buildings as "Steel Buildings" or Metal Buildings", but the correct term is: "Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings"

Mark and Derek are enjoying a drink outside the trailers, and Mark asks if Richard has any fetishes. I think that these worries speak volumes more about Mark himself than about the general idea of a Gentlemen's Evening at this point. Richard walks up, and Derek tells him they're freaked out and demands to know just what is a Gentlemen's Evening. As if it's the most obvious thing in the world, Richard throws up his hands and answers, "It's an evening with no ladies! Just gentlemen!" Mark can't believe that's it, but his gaping is interrupted by a female voice observing, "Pretty boys living in the woods. This is very charming. Or sad. Not sure which." Mark asks what happened to the "no ladies" part, and Richard just tells him, "Plans change."
As they leave the hospital, Lexie asks Alex what he's doing. Alex wants to know what she means, but being red-blooded young folks, you know she knows he knows she knows what he means, though she's a little bit embarrassed about it. He tells her, not unkindly, but bluntly, "Look. I'm not a nice guy. I don't date, I don't call the next day, I'm not looking for a relationship because I'm never good at them. And honestly I'm kinda hung up on somebody else, so, the only thing you're gonna get from me is sex. That's it. And that's never enough for girls like you." In an Alex way, it's a compliment, that she's a good girl who deserves more than that. She watches him go as Meredith's VO explains, "Deep down, everyone wants to believe they can be hardcore. But being hardcore isn't just about being tough."
Mark is yelling at Hahn that something isn't fair, but she just yells, "In your face!" over...Monopoly, America's favorite board game. VO: "It's about acceptance."
George and Izzie are in her room with enough candles going to start a forest fire, and as they lean in to kiss, her face crumbles. This has to be awful déjà vu for him, and in the same house where he last made a woman cry! I can't focus on anything other than the crazy bra Izzie is wearing, which has what appear to be yarn tassels hanging off of the straps. Really? Is that what the kids are wearing these days? She cries that she's totally exhausted and that she wants to do it, but she can't do it tonight. She's also clearly spent a little too much time with Mr. Arnold, because she gets crazy eyes as she tells him that this is like a rare bird for them to be together for the first time since their drunken encounter, and that she doesn't want to waste it. "I want to enjoy our rare bird, George! I need to enjoy our rare bird!" Well, if the mood hadn't been killed by the crying, or the yarn tassels, using the bird metaphor probably did it. He agrees, and makes a bad excuse that his hand is killing him from holding the dress. She'd probably be unconvinced if she weren't so upset. They lie down and curl up in bed to go to sleep, but he notices something and picks his head up to ask her if she only shaved one leg. She starts to cry anew and apologizes, and he works to calm her down again. Phew, safe for another week from having to witness the two of them doing the nasty.

Food Donations Heading to New Jersey After SandyBy Daniel Cherry | Published 15 Nov 2012 05:45pm |
Mississippi charities are lending a helping hand to New Jersey residents recovering from Superstorm Sandy. MPB's Daniel Cherry reports, a large food donation will soon head to the East Coast.
In the parking lot of Walmart in Madison, volunteers with the Jackson Salvation Army are preparing to fill an 18 wheeler with food donations bound for New Jersey. Governor Phil Bryant is calling on Mississippians to be generous as the holiday season approaches.
"One hundred thousand citizens, our fellow Americans in 24 different states, primarily New York, New Jersey and Virginia, will be without electricity. They won't have a warm home for Thanksgiving or a warm meal, without us."
One resident, William Creel of Yazoo City, drove down to Madison so he could donate a box of food. He has family and friends in New Jersey and New York, and between Katrina and the 2010 Yazoo City tornado, he feels he should help those in need.
"They're all well, my people are, but there's a lot of people suffering up there. It's terrible. And of course being in Katrina country we understand their hurt, and we want to help all we can. They've had our prayers all along."
Those in the Jackson metro area who want to help out can pick up a box at the Madison Walmart, fill it, and load it into the truck. Major Ken Chapman, with the Jackson Salvation Army says to pack a box full of non-perishable items, it usually costs about 30 dollars.
"Things that have protein, like pasta and tuna and canned meats and vegetables. And the list is very specific because a box...if you go by the list, it will fit in the box, and if you get four of each one of those kinds of items. That will feed a family of four for a week."
For those not in the Jackson area who still want to lend a hand, reputable charities like the Salvation Army and Red Cross are taking monetary donations to help those affected by the storm. Daniel Cherry...MPB News.

5/26/14, Food good & cheap, ordered a pulled pork sandwich covered with cole slaw, 2 onion rings & 1 side for $6.99. I got a slab of ribs for 16.99 w/2 sides. All was good, Now for the only issue, my slab came with only 8 bones (instead of the norn of 12-13), so I asked the server and she said it looked a little small since it usually hangs over the plate, so I asked to speak to Mgr, she came out and said that they just changed over to a "NEW" style of ribs and they are only 8, but meatier. HA HA, WHO are you trying to kid?? So I asked her to show me a PIG that has only 8 ribs! She said I was right, but that is what they are serving now (but all pictures on table & menu show full slabs), so to make me a little happier, she gave me 1 more rib. ALSO, the slab is cut in 1/2, 4 bones each and 1 side were real long & skinny bones and the other side were short & fat bones, SO, she did not serve a continuous portion Not sorry to say, WILL NOT be back.
Ive given this place three chances to impress me and it failed every time. The appetizers taste like the frozen food stuff from a grocery store. And my food was always over cooked. But the sweet tea wasnt terrible. Overall, a disappointing experience
We stopped there after driving 500 miles and was very disappointed nothing was fresh , Will never go again !!!
Stumbled upon Boondocks BBQ and Grill while enjoying Hocking Hills. This BBQ is easily on par with some of the top notch places in Nashville, Memphis, or any part of Texas. Pulled pork was melt in your mouth and ribs were fantastic. Service was great and prices were very reasonable. Like I needed another excuse to drive route 78.
I have traveled the world with the privilege of visiting many extraordinary restaurants, but Boondocks always feels like home. Almost always a large, friendly, local crowd. The service is top-notch, and as repeat guests we've been impressed that they remember us. It's unusual to find such a high-quality place with such a talented chef in a location like this, but it's what keeps us going back. Near enough to Athens, Ohio and the Hocking Hills area to make it worth a special trip to go to McConnellsville and the Boondocks!
Stopped at Boondocks just today. Busy busy place! Excellent pulled pork sandwich, the sweet potato fries were delicious!! Service was wonderful, clean friendly place at very reasonablr prices! Will definately go back!! :)

Stop there on my way to Virginia Great food and great serves . Well stop again .
The Boondocker burger was totally awesome with onion rings. This is an excellent place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, enjoy the food. Former Ohioian now Phoenician.
Went there new years eve...ribs must have been left over from the night before. Meat quality was poor and there wasn't a hint of smoke flavor. Perhaps we should give it another chance but it's a little tough to find and not worth the drive.
We stopped by the Boondock's BBQ & Grille today. They have a very diverse menu with something that should appeal to almost anybody. We had the Boondocker, a pulled pork and onion ring sandwich with BBQ sauce on it. For our side we chose the sweet potatoe fries. The meal was excellent. It had a wonderful flavor, was served with what appeared to be thin sliced homemade dill pickle slices, and topped off our meal with a slice of peach pie. We are only abour 45 minutes from here, so we will definitely be back to try some of the other entree's on their menu. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to any DDD follower that is looking for an interesting place to eat. The facility was clean, well decorated, and the wait staff were friendly and very attentive. If your near the area check this place out. You won't be disappointed. :)
Actually this sounds like what happens on a regular bases there. The last time I went there the food was just so so and the appertisers my dad and brother got tasted like they were store boughten frozen food section crap.... not Food Network quality, that's for sure. When I heard Guy had been there I laughed and said that I bet he walked away rolling his eyes. AND I have yet to see it on TV which says a lot about Guy and his true "taste". Good for you Guy! I wouldn't put "special" frozen food on my show either.
Amazing food for minimal prices.!!!
You are completely making this up!!! Ten bucks says you're someone from that dive bar Wingslinger up the road causing trouble again!!! get a life!!!!!
They were filmed by DDD -- have yet to be shown. tHEY'VE ALSO WON COOKING COMPETITIONS AROUND THE mIDWEST and beyond. Mcconnelsville is a sleepy little town like Mayberry. Thats what makes it special. People expect prime rib service & walk into a place like The Boondocks w/ bologna money and lunch meat attitude. And out-of-towners? The place is PACKED on the weekends. The articles are on the bathrooms as part of the "funny" theme in the decour...maybe you should've dined at Ruth's Chris? Or are they above your refined palettes as well?
Wow. You people are being a little harsh, dont you think? I know thw owner personally, not sure he would ever tell anyone not to say anythikng bad b/c it was going to be on DDD... nice to see America still supports the little guy.
Nothing special except in McConnelsville where there isn't much else. Drove down from Columbus on a nice day wanting the drive - we were the only people in the place on a Saturday at lunch - Scary. Food was good and service was service. Classic BBQ. If you are in the area, eat and enjoy but don't make a special trip - PS Hasn't been on DDD yet but they have been filmed and our hoping for the best - local news article to read on the wall in the bathroom - yes I said bathroom.
Was this place really featured on DD&D? I cant find it on the episode list at all?
Great little place to eat. We had a great time and the food was fantastic!
Boondocks is known for the bbq, cooking from scratch, low prices, and warm from the oven chocolate chip cookies for dessert
Not a good experience AT ALL! Went on a Sunday afternoon. Hubby ordered the pulled pork sandwich (which WAS excellent) but so much else was just wrong, wrong, wrong. First off, found a shell in our crab cakes. Their flavor was excellent, so we just let it go. Next, side salad was a little lame: iceburg lettuce, one tomato slice, one crouton, one carrot slice, a plop of cheese, and bottled dressing. Nothing amazing, but, hey! main course was a comin'! I ordered "signature dish" sliced sirloin with red pepper butter, cooked medium, with sweet potato fries. What I got was basically beef tips: tough, flavorless, full of sinew, overdone, and cold. SP fries were OK. Hubby's potato wedge fries were incredibly greasy and undercooked, like the oil was not hot enough. Service was perfunctory, but not at all attentive. There were very few patrons in the place. We got there at 1:30, they were open until 3. When the waitress brought our ($30!) check, we mentioned the problems. I guess we could have forgiven it all and chalked it up as a lesson learned until the owner came out and challenged us. Now, we are NOT big complainers, and we are NOT picky eaters. This food was truly substandard. The owner then proceeded to tell us he was going to give us a "discount", but we told him repeatedly that we did not want one. He came back not with a refund, but a postcard worth 10% off our NEXT $15 purchase. AS IF! He told us we shouldn't say anything bad about him because he was on Food Network. Then he said he hated working on Sundays because he got nothing but complaints on Sundays, and if we were going to use our discount, we should do so soon because he was leaving McConnelsville because he couldn't make anyone happy here. He was taking his restaurant to Columbus where people appreciated good food. His arrogance was just astounding. I hope if you do go, you get good food and service. Just stick with the pulled pork. :o/
We visited this Triple D stop when back in Ohio visiting family, Our family will definitly be back and happy we found it for them. We stop at alot of DDD places in our travels from Colorado and this one was great! The pulled pork was excellent along with tender fall off the bone ribs. Nice to have this one close to our old home town. My 7 year old son had the monster burger and it was also pretty good(I had to share it with him of coarse) We will see what we find on the way home to colorado.
Try the Brisket and Pork combo... Its breath taking

Bob Melvin Fired
As AZ Snakepit said, "Bob Melvin has gone from National League Manager of the Year to 'Do you want fries with that?' in barely eighteen months." Arizona throwing up a "Now Hiring" sign and Manny being suspended for 50 games. Hey Rockies, do you hear that? That's the sound of opportunity knocking.


text: According to the Texas Department of Transportation, there is no timetable as to when the missing overhead sign along I-37 near Port will be replaced.The sign was knocked down during an accident on Tuesday afternoon. A black truck had lost control and hit a barricade, causing it to run into the back of an 18-wheeler. The big rig then jackknifed and slammed into the support struts for an overhead sign, sending it crashing to the ground.TxDOT says a major redesign of the sign must be done so that the sign can withstand hurricane force winds. They said all options can be considered."TxDOT is scheduling the demolition and removal of that structure, the truss. The signs on the truss, they appear to be in good shape and salvageable," TxDOT's Rickey Dailey said. "As a cost saving measure, we are going to take those signs off and put them on the new structure."Dailey said an early estimate of the cost will be anywhere from $250,000-$325,000.At this time, travel lanes are open. All of the exits are marked and electronic message signs are in place.

Ryan Keller to Genève-Servette
Another OKC Baron has flown the coop (is that what the landed nobility do? Fly the coop?), as Mr. Keller is off to Genève-Servette of Switzerland's National League A. I am having trouble seeing this as in any way a good thing for the Barons in '12-'13 - didn't Keller get some consideration for a call-up to the NHL at one point last season?

Just before 3:30 Saturday afternoon, an electrical problem caused the monorail train to stall.
Dallas Fire and Rescue were on scene quickly and passengers were trapped for only about 40 minutes.
This isn't the first time the zoo has had problems with one of their monorail trains.
In September 2011, a similar incident was blamed on a breaker that shorted out.
None of the trains will run Sunday while crews try to figure out what went wrong.
No one was injured and everyone involved got their money back.

Where Have All The Left-Handed First Basemen Gone?
Baseball is so steeped in tradition that most changes spark outcry from die-hards and purists. Rarely does a marked shift occur without anyone noticing. Yet one trend has eroded conventional wisdom — gradually over the last 60 years and drastically over the last decade — with nary a comment: lefties are disappearing from first base.

Title: Priests: A Calling in Crisis
Author: Andrew M. Greeley
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Equally critical of both liberals and conservatives
Analysis of the Catholic Churchs sexual abuse scandal
Argues against both conservative and liberal critics of the priesthood
Defends priesthood and priests
Book Review
There are a lot of different opinions out there about how to reform and improve the priesthood, with the elimination of homosexuality and celibacy being two of the most popular. In reality, though, it seems unlikely that either are good answers to what is going on at least, if one looks at the sociological data about Catholic priests. Thats what Andrew M. Greeley, himself a Catholic priest as well as a professor of social sciences, has done in his book Priests: A Calling in Crisis. He minces no words in his sharp criticism of both liberals and conservatives.
As to liberal critics, Greeley argues that the statistical data demonstrates that priests arent particularly worse off for being celibate.
They dont suffer psychologically or emotionally because they dont have intimate, sexual relationships with women. He doesnt argue that celibacy must necessarily remain, and in fact acknowledges that there may be very good reasons for and consequences to allowing married men into the priesthood. His point, however, is that there is no good data to support the claims that celibacy causes priests to be psychological wrecks and that this, in turn, increases the likelihood of committing sexual abuse:
- Patently, most men who leave the priesthood do not leave because of celibacy. They must also dislike the work of the priest to the extent that they say they would not choose again to be a priest. ...If the celibacy rule is abolished, fine. But let it be abolished for good reasonsthat it is right and proper and good for married men to be in the priesthood, not because celibacy has driven out of the priesthood most of those who have left and not because celibacy as such is the cause of the vocation crisis. These two reasons are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Moreover, they are false prophecies and those who proclaim them false prophets.
This does not mean that priests are always happy, however:
- Most priests as individuals are happy as priests, but they do not think others are happy. As individuals they do not find celibacy a serious personal problem. But most priests (it would appear) believe that the majority of their fellow priests are unhappy because for them celibacy is a serious personal problem. The reason is that at most gatherings of priests the lowest common denominator of envy, misery, and mediocrity tends to dominate the conversation. Hence the astonishment among many priests at the findings I reported from the first Los Angeles Times study. Astonishment and blunt denial.
At the same time, Greeley is just as critical of conservatives who think that getting rid of all the homosexuals will save the priesthood (he finds that only about 16% of priests are gay higher than in the general population, but hardly an overwhelming number):
- There is nothing in this book that justifies the hysteria among some Catholics on the subject of homosexual priests.
- Nor is there anything that will persuade the Vatican that homosexuals should not be banned from seminaries and the priesthood. The fury of the homophobia in the Church will not yield to data. It would be a wise policy for church leaders to tone down the hysteria and leave homosexual priests alone...
According to Greeley, the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church is not the result of any particular problem with priests; instead it is a problem with humans generally. The real problem within the Catholic Church lies with the efforts to keep the problems quiet and, later, the efforts to lay the blame on gay priests.
Quite a lot has been written on the problems that have been plaguing the Catholic Church and Catholic priests, so what makes this one so interesting? Most of the books on this subject have been written from a very partisan perspective and typically with an ideological axe to grind. Greeley, however, criticizes both liberals and conservatives. Greeley makes a good case for why both sides have made mistakes and that both sides have used the abuse crisis to advance their own agendas. Greeley certainly isnt an independent observer, but he does a good job at being even-handed in this comments.

What would Steve Jobs do at your Nonprofit?
Steve Job's death on 5 October unleashed a worldwide outpouring of grief that, to me, was surprising. Why did the world care so much about the departure of a corporate CEO? Why was I sad about his passing – someone I'd never met?
I think the answers are found in what Jobs meant to the millions of people who bought, loved and used his products every day. A few observations:
Wow your donors
Yes, Steve Jobs will be missed. And as I thought about the lessons of his life, I wondered: are there many nonprofit organisations out there that would be similarly mourned if they disappeared overnight?
Tough question. Unfortunately, many nonprofits wouldn't be missed. They're competent, good and provide life-changing services, but they have yet to wow their donors like Steve Jobs amazed his customers. So, for just a moment, imagine what Steve Jobs would do if he were CEO of your nonprofit.
The world won't see another Steve Jobs soon. However, each one of us can borrow from his playbook and do our part to make the organisations we serve even more amazing to the donors who support them.
This article was first published on SOFII in Nov 2011.
Steve was unique
What do you mean, "The world won't see another Steve Jobs soon."? There will never be another Steve. Steve, just as you or any of us are. You-nique! I'm wanting to be positive here. I am really expecting another person to step up and improve on Steve's jobs. In reviewing his biographical articles, people were paid to worship him and his ideals instead of taking care of their families with Steve's jobs. I would like to see the results of people's lives who produce these technical icons of daily communications lead wholesome extremes by example and keep on changing the world into a better place. Tweet this.
I am not sure you're talking about the same Steve Jobs
Much of what you describe is accurate. His drive for perfection in design and execution, that sense of what the market (you say people)will want next...But From the reading I have done the attributes you touch on were counterpointed with the Selfish, arrogant, tyrannical, Impish, taciturn Steve Jobs that through his life allowed him to be almost as destructive as constructive.
I don't think either, we should compare Apple products to have the same level of life transforming capability many charities deliver to their constituents. it is a long bow.
And it should finally be remembered Mr. Jobs was not a philanthropist by any stretch of the imagination.
Having stated this I too admire much of what he achieved. It does inspire awe and many aspects of his focused attention to a given task might - it can be argued - be emulated by people in other organisations trying to make a difference on a large scale.
And for the record there are lots of Steve jobs out there. They just aren't in the headlines or making hundreds of millions of dollars. But in the way they work, raise their families and contribute to their communities they make every bit and in some cases much greater a contribution than Mr. Jobs ever did.

Alumni Return to BU for Homecoming Weekend
10/13/2013 (Updated 10:47:04 PM)Binghamton University was buzzing this weekend as alumni came back to celebrate homecoming. The weekend was packed with sporting events and reunions.
Saturday the university hosted a tailgate party at the events center with food, music and games. Alumni from all different years came with family and friends. They say coming back to the city and university they graduated from is exciting.
"It's a great idea. You know, just meeting all the people you haven't seen in years, almost. I mean for me it's been two years but other people here it's been five, ten, fifteen years and see people again from what is considered the best years of your life. It's pretty awesome," Michael Raguso, 2012 Graduate, said.
President Stenger also met with alumni, Saturday to talk about the university's plan for continued growth and progress.

MSNBC host Martin Bashir announced on Wednesday that he had resigned from the network.
Earlier this month, MSNBC host Martin Bashir had blasted Palin after a speech in Iowa, where she had said that borrowing money from China was "going to be like slavery when that note is due."
Bashir read remarks from the diary from notorious slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood, who allegedly forced slaves to eat human feces. He said that if anyone was deserving of such punishment, it was Palin.
The MSNBC host later apologized, insisting that he had "brought shame upon my friends and colleagues at this network."
But in an email obtained by Mediaite on Wednesday, Bashir said that he had decided to resign.
"Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of MSNBC, I have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments," Bashir wrote. "I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences."
"I would also wish to express deepest gratitude to my immediate colleagues, and our contributors, all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast."
For her part, Palin has said that she accepted Bashir apology and thanked God for giving a platform to speak out on Fox News.
"I move on and I charge forth," she told Fox News host Chris Wallace late last month. "However, if Mr. Bashir or anybody else in this media elite bubble that they put themselves were to attack someone who is defenseless like a vulnerable child who does not have the podium, that microphone that God has blessed me to be able to express my opinion, if they don't have that type of platform to defend themselves, well, if you want to see a mama grizzly get riled up and slap that person down then you come after a vulnerable child."
"As for the apologies, well obviously, you know, who am I not to accept an apology? Everyone must humble themselves and accept that offer to — of apology."

House fire "tragedy" highlights importance of safe furniture
The Assistant Chief Fire Officer for Cumbria, Adrian Buckle, has described a house fire in Carlisle - in which a man died - as a tragedy which shows the dangers of not having fire retardant furniture.
"This tragedy highlights the important of fire retardant furniture, cushions and bedding.
"Fire can spread incredibly quickly and it takes hold much more rapidly if it catches older items that don't conform to current fire safety standards.
"I'd urge people to check items around their home to make sure they are fire retardant and look at updating them if they're not.
"Replacing out of date furniture does not need to be a major expense – many second hand furniture stores and social enterprises such as Impact, stock furniture that meets modern fire safety standards."

There you are, enjoying your favorite over priced beverage, when all of a sudden your "Spider Senses" kick in. It may be a broken bottle, a loud ruckus or an eerie silence, but you a certain of one thing. There's a fight about to happen! You glance around the room and then you see it. There's a muscular fellow with his veins popping from where his neck should be, an angry scowl, and a tiny penis complex. He's angry and no amount of Jaeger bombs can save him from his rage. As you're about to laugh at the spectacle you notice that he's glaring his angry, testosterone filled eyes at you.
As me and my roommate were discussing very important issues such as "Could Brock Lesnar beat Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard at the same time?" we stumbled upon a question that divided us more than any other topic. It started out simple enough. "So (pfffffff) what (cough, cough) fighting style is best for a bar fight?" This started a complex argument neither of us expected.
We started to break down the fighting styles one by one and added in any scenario that could happen in an everyday bar fight.
Wrestling: A ground fighting style that some would say is the most important base for any up and coming fighter. In a bar scenario everything changes. When you add in the fact that you could be fighting multiple people wrestling may not be the best practice to try.
BJJ: Another great and useful tool in the cage. I would jump up and down if I saw a guy throw up a flying arm bar in the middle of a pumped up crowd, but again it may not be the best against multiple attackers. Take the triangle for example. It's the perfect way to get reverse curb stomped.
Boxing: Boxing is near the top. The only problem is that boxing is limited and the outcome of the fight may not depend on your skill level. A bar fight does not resemble a Floyd Maywhether fight. A "boxing" bar fight looks a lot more like a Lenard Garcia fight.
Traditional Martial Arts (TMA): Unless you're the son of a piss breathed father I'd back off of this fighting style in bar fight. Not only do TMA's take a long time to master, but they also teach respect and discipline. Respect and discipline are great for everyday life, but in a bar fight I'd throw that out of the window.
Now here is where me and my roommate really differ. I said "(Pfffffff) Come on man is there a better style than Muay Thai? Most fights are in close quarters (pffffff). Man you got elbows, a clinch, and of course knees! What would be better than that?"
As the glow of being the all-knowing slacker that reads BE all day started to sink in he said something that rattled me."Could I be wrong? I forgot about that style. Shit that was a good answer." I pondered. His response?
(Pfffff) What about Judo? You could flip 5 or 6 dudes in a row. While you're getting punched in the ribs by the tiny dicked guy's secrete lover, I'll be hip tossing people and awaiting the next without even losing my breath. Judo man, Judo.)
Neither of us truly knew if the other was right. So I decided to take this conundrum to the fine people of Bloody Elbow.

Construction on the Ohio
Turnpike at Michigan Avenue in Maumee has sparked some concern for residents.
They fear the shutdown
will interfere if there's a need for emergency assistance. Residents north of
the Norfolk Southern railway tracks in particular worry that police, fire and
EMS may not be able to respond to emergencies if a train is blocking the Michigan
grade crossing.
Last week, residents
notified the Maumee Department of Public Safety about their concerns. The city
assured residents they will have a timely response.
"We've made arrangements
with the contractors," said Sgt. TJ Stratton of the Maumee Police. "They are
aware of the situation and will move equipment if need be. We also have another
alternative location that allows us to get access to that area, so the people
should not worry."
Construction crews
estimate that the Turnpike at Michigan Avenue will be open again by late July,
weather permitting.

Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine had hoped to name his regular-season starting quarterback today, but that was before Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel failed to impress during Cleveland's 24-23 loss to Washington last night. Manziel also raised the middle finger of his right hand as he jogged away from the Washington sideline after a play late in the third quarter.
Two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year Braxton Miller, considered among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy, reportedly reinjured his throwing shoulder in practice yesterday. Miller, a senior, had missed spring practice after surgery on his right shoulder. He had been held out of a scrimmage and practices during fall camp after experiencing some soreness. But he proclaimed last week he was healthy and ready to go. If Miller is unable to play in the fifth-ranked Buckeyes' opener on Aug. 30 against Navy, redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett would likely get the start.
The Nebraska men's basketball team has nabbed a 15-year old as their latest recruit. The Omaha World Herald reports that Omaha South's Aguek Arop is the youngest player to commit to Nebraska for basketball. Coach Tim Miles surprised Arop with a scholarship offer on July 13. The 6'4, 182-pounder with a 6-9 ¼ wingspan began to draw heavy interest while playing this summer on Omaha Elite's 15-and-under team. He averaged about 15 points and ten rebounds a game for Elite, which went 39-4 and was ranked ninth nationally. Nebraska currently has no instate players on scholarship, nor any entering for the 2014-15 season.

The council Monday night to allow the Norfolk Airport Authority to levy a property tax of a little more than $385,000 and a future additional property tax of about $60,000 a year to fund debt service of new hangers and a related taxiway. Currently, all of the Norfolk Regional Airport's hangar space is rented out. In the end the council voted 7-1 in favor of the allocation with Ward 1 Councilman Dick Pfeil casting the lone "no" vote.
Federal officials want Nebraska to repay nearly $2.5 million because they say the state mishandled some Medicaid prescription drug claims. The problem was discovered by an audit the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released earlier this month. The report says in some cases between 2009 and 2011 Nebraska officials failed to collect detailed information about prescriptions and failed to claim rebates from drug manufacturers. Nebraska officials say they are working to resolve the problem, but the state disputes the amount that will have to be repaid to the federal government.
Northeast Community College and the other five community colleges across Nebraska are sharing a half-million dollar grant from the Nebraska Community College Student Performance and Occupation Education Grant Program. Vice President for Student Services John Blaylock says Northeast's share is approximately $85,000. Much of it will be used to help students complete their degrees. Blaylock says they're looking for students who have had to quit school for financial reasons. Blaylock says the funds come from the Coordinating Commission of Post-Secondary Education.
Nebraska's crops are making good progress, but crops that lack irrigation are starting to show signs of stress in areas where there hasn't been much rain lately. The U.S. Agriculture Department released its weekly report on the state's crops Monday. The USDA says farmers in central Nebraska were able to reduce irrigation last week because healthy amounts of rain fell. In eastern Nebraska, cooler weather slowed crop development while warmer temperatures in western Nebraska helped dry more hay. The USDA estimated that 70 percent of both the corn and soybean crops are in good or excellent condition. About 48 percent of the state's pastures are also in good or excellent shape.
Willie Nelson and Neil Young will headline a concert next month in a Nebraska cornfield organized by opponents of a proposed pipeline that would carry oil from Canada south to the Gulf Coast. Bold Nebraska said Monday the concert will be held Sept. 27 on a farm near Neligh in northeast Nebraska. Tickets go on sale Wednesday. Earlier this year, protesters carved an anti-pipeline message into the cornfield, which is in the path of TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline. Pipeline critics hope the project will be rejected because they fear it could contaminate groundwater and contribute to pollution. TransCanada has said the pipeline will have upgraded safety measures and should be allowed. The company has already built and is operating the southern leg of the pipeline between Oklahoma and Texas.

Many people have decided to get behind the wheel this holiday season.
AAA projects nearly 30% of Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home between Saturday and January 1st. More than 90% of those travelers will be driving.
"I think that's due in large part to some of the frustrations of flying," says AAA Spokesperson Clay Ingram.
Air travel is expected to decrease this season. Spokesperson Toni Bast says the busiest time of the year for flyers is usually Thanksgiving.
But with the extra highway congestion due to holiday travel, speed becomes more dangerous. Ingram says allow plenty of space cushion, reduce speed and leave early.
"The volume of traffic is going to be big. Your margin of error is going to be smaller. Your reaction time is going to be less," says Ingram.

What is up my brothas and sistas? That was one heck of a breath of fresh air for me. This team NEEDED a win like that. That said, the whole first half I spent asking my wife, "Who are they and what did they do with the Broncos???" Solid run game, aggressive pass game, solid defense...I'd say the team got something out of their Bye week.
- THAT is what you need to do with the offense in the beginning of the game...pounce on them and make them play from behind. That is the recipe for this team to have more victories this year. Now show me you can do it again McD.
- Defense got awfully predictable after the 1st half...I saw repeated blitzes from CB and OLB over and over and over...it looked a little over used to me and KC easily picked it up most of the time.
- I have nothing to say about the STs....and that is always a good thing.
- Orton was just absolutely en fuego to start the game. Great short throws, great long throws, and masterful running of the offense. Dude was killing it and I loved it.
- Keep working on getting Eddie more touches in space...the kid is just plain deadly and I think he looks under used.
- Thomas is going to be a sick WR...he showed some great flashes this game and you can tell he is getting more comfortable with the game.
- I'm absolutely a huge fan of Moreno...the guy plays with heart and that is all I want. Give him a lane and he will get you some yards.
- Big credits to the O-line. They looked like a completely different line than I've seen the first half of the season. They were opening lanes and pass protecting extremely well this game. They wore down a bit at the end of the game, but I'm not too worried about that when we had the game well in hand.
- TE looks like an area we are going to need some talent at this off-season. Graham has lost a step and the other two guys don't impress me in the least.
- These guys looked sharp early and did a great job of getting the heck off the field. Loved their play on 3rd downs early in the game.
- Bailey just looks like he is either hurt or he isn't "all in" any more. I wonder if the Broncos taking his offer off the table has left him jaded. I would expect not, but something is up...he was getting pwned by Bowe the whole game.
- McBath needs some time with the juggs machine...dude you HAVE to catch those INTs when they are square in your hands!
- I'm very proud of our LBs that have stepped up...Mays, Haggan, and Hunter all played exceptionally well. Way to step up your play men.
- Justin Bannan was just supreme this game...he blew up KC's line at least 3 times on big plays.
- Our pass rush still lacks...with only 4 guys we weren't doing much.
Let me say this overall: That was ONE great game. Now it is time for this team to Bronco up and take it to San Diego next week. We aren't even close to sniffing the playoff race yet. One game at a time and show me some FRIGGIN consistency from week to week. Go Broncos!

NBA Players Association Prepared to Decertify
Execs at the NBA and NBA Players Association are paying extra close attention to what's going on between the warring sides involved in the NFL labor battle, and CBSSports.com reports that the lifting of the lockout by NFL owners Monday by U.S. District Judge Susan Nelson got particular attention from the two sides. The NFL Players Association dissolved just before the lockout began in order to give it more legal flexibility and CBS reports that the NBA Players Association, led by Billy Hunter, "already has collected enough signatures to approve a vote for decertification" if a lockout occurs. The site goes on to report that top NBA negotiators for more than a year have been holding out hope that a decertification by the players would be ruled a "sham" by federal courts. That hope has now been thrown out the window as the NFL labor situation has set a new precedent. The upshot for the NBA's labor negotiation was clear and resounding: If the NBPA elects to decertify -- in effect, dissolving the union and forfeiting the ability to collectively bargain contracts and work rules -- then Nelson's ruling will stand as federal precedent rendering moot the NBA's presumed tactic of imposing a lockout. The NBA's collective bargaining agreement expires at 12:01 a.m. on July 1. Via CBS Sports and YahooSports

Why do I avoid writing? I believe it has to do with more than just being busy. What keeps me from writing are the very things inside myself that avoid meditating, praying, taking a walk . . . avoiding the connections with the deeper parts of me: feelings, going into what is true, what is hard, those scary places where heart and spirit can lead you. The places beyond the surface of doing. The home of Being, the connection to spirit (I call it Holy, but you call it what you want).
Clive Matson, writing mentor, who leads the Let the Crazy Child Write workshops around the San Francisco Bay Area, and once in a blue moon in Lake County, where I live, has an exercise he starts each class with: Writing the Present. Seven minutes of writing whatever is present for you: the smudge on the wall in front of you, your sister's death from cancer ten years past, the trip to Hawaii you always planned to take, but haven't yet. I've often asked myself: Alethea, why don't you do this on your own? Because when I have been in his classes, I've always been surprised. This poem came from an evening spent with Clive and other writers. My present was a picture on the wall:
Persistent Lover
I reach down and listen
to the wild place
I've been afraid to enter,
buried like Pluto's treasure
under raw and ragged truth.
This is a time for evolution.
The gods' tongues
are slipping, fracturing
cell and bone.
My skin is only
a covering. These hands hold
nothing. Oh, darkness, sing
my song to me. I am
too tired not to dance
into sunlight ribbed
by the filament of your wings.
Your wisdom rises
in inchoate speech, whispering
until I've been whittled
and burned. Let me
fly to the life that your shadows
have cast for me.
Persistent lover, greedy
Hades, I eat these
pomegranate seeds
willingly. Hunger is
sweetness on my tongue.
What I would like to invite you to do, if you're so inspired, is for you to add your seven minutes in the comments section . . . or just comment. I'm a comment slut and would love to hear what you have to say. I just ask no trashing of anyone's work. Be polite. This isn't a place for debate or criticism, but for letting each person's spirit speak it's truth.

Samhain spectacle (From Barry And District News)

Samhain spectacle
8:30am Thursday 8th November 2012 in Letters
ART4 U would like to thank all those who braved the elements to share in the celebration of Samhain. We experienced rain, thunder, hail and sunshine, all adding to the dramatic impact of the beach sculptures. A special thank you to all the volunteers who helped to construct the 90-foot sculpture and a thank you to Myke Morgan and Christie Leate Bowen, who constructed a magnificent fire sculpture that lit up the night sky.
The light shone out in the darkness during this celebration, symbolically helping to keep all those who experienced this artwork in touch with the cycle of the year. As we moved from summer to winter, with the warmness from the fire and the brightness of the lights giving us renewed vigour, we could focus on the guidance from our ancestors to lead us safely as we brave the coming winter months.
This was a truly spectacular and moving artwork that combined a celebration that no doubt will stay with all those who experienced this event for many years to come.

I need not recite the Parecon (participatory economics) analysis; Znet readers can simply click on the links to the left for abundant references. But to make the point generally, what is important in my view is that Parecon provides the growing numbers of discontented Americans with something that is largely absent and urgently needed. It provides the language to understand what is going on, not just in terms of personalities and individuals, but also in terms of institutions. The difference is critical.
When we read the news about Iraq, for example, the language has to do with Bush, terrorism, deaths of innocents and combatants, the opinions of the pundits or members of government, levels of support among the populace and so on. The language and insights of a Parecon analysis would add to this mix such terms as class, property, markets, and participation. Such terms, and there are many others of course, provide an institutional understanding that helps to explain such things as larger economic interests, how just a tiny handful of people are able to make life and death decisions that impact millions and why adventures as Iraq ought to be expected.
Through the first set of terms, we see an individual president. Through the second set we see an individual president as part of a powerful class with very clear and specific interests that must be met. Within the first set, Iraq appears to be a disaster. It appears almost unprecedented. Within the second set, we see a history, a pattern of aggression. We are less sure that Iraq is a disaster; perhaps the owners of vast amounts of property are getting what they want in spite of the costs to others. Within the first framework, we are compelled to be anti-Bush. Within the second, we are compelled to oppose to the institutions that require Bush now – and tomorrow.
With an institutional analysis, such as the one Parecon provides, our opposition is cutting, forceful and ties into a compelling vision. Without an institutional analysis, there is no opposition. Only discontent.
But why the urgency?
Take a look at the kind of conversations we typically find in the media or have with friends in an everyday context. Such conversations largely turn on familiar, everyday categories – personal likes and dislikes, individual actions and choices, deceit and honesty. We see an incompetent president losing popularity, sinking in the polls. We sense that more and more people are agreeing that Iraq has become a quagmire; even "hawks" are calling for a quick withdrawal. We see the president's political allies, a number of neo-con leaders under criminal investigation. Everyday there seems to be new evidence of deceit at the highest levels of government. The concept of "Watergate" is bandied about. We might, from this perspective, agree with mainstream wise-man David Gergen that "The wheels are coming off." And so we might conclude that the tide is turning our way, that we stand on the eve of a period of promising social reform.
On the other hand, if we look through an institutional lens, one that illuminates the relationship between economics and politics as does Parecon, we see something entirely different. Let's start with a single feature of our economy, one that Parecon challenges, the right of individuals to privately own productive property and alone make decisions that impact the lives of others so enormously. From this perspective, we see a history. Iraq is not fundamentally new. It looks like Vietnam, yes. But it also looks like US aggression toward the Philippines in the 1880s or Mexico in the 1840s or the elimination of the Native American population that lasted over 100 years. In fact, the entire history of the US is the history of the unrelenting expansion of privatization.
Through our institutional lens, we see that the rush to privatize has become a runaway train, with 1% of the population now owning practically everything and deciding practically everything. We notice that the term "neo" in both neo-con and neo-liberal signifies a "new" agreement among both conservatives and liberal elites that further concentration of private ownership is a good and necessary thing.
Now, when the aggression toward Iraq is seen as a drive to privatize, Team Bush looks considerably more successful. Thus far they are getting away with it. And why shouldn't they get away with? If we aren't talking "privatization" we sure as hell can't oppose it. In fact, we won't even know that it is going on. Some opposition we are!
Well, what about the political side of things? Suppose we could impeach Bush, would that go a long way toward solving our problems?
Hardly. Again, take a look at our institutions. The Framers designed our political system so that the interest of the "opulent few" would be protected against the " the overbearing and interested majority," to borrow Madison's language. Our first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay, succinctly as anyone, captured the essence of the framework of our politics: "the people who own the country ought to govern it." And so they do – without their ability to do so being opposed.
"Our" public airwaves provide the basis of "their" thought control. "Our" Pentagon, by expanding domestic surveillance of "us," is shoring up its defense of "them." Suppose following an attack on Iran we took to the streets and were labeled "enemy combatants." "Our" federal courts, which recently have been stripped of their ability to hear applications for habeas corpus, would afford no protection. Off to the slammer we would go and the key could be thrown away. Looking through an institutional lens – as opposed to a personal one, it appears that we may be closer to marshal law than an historic progressive turn. And the kicker is that we often make the case, as many did following Katrina, that if only we got back to our founding principles, we would be much better off!
Again we see not just the necessity but also the urgency of Parecon. If we are at a tipping point, a Watergate moment, it would behoove us to articulate alternative sets of institutions – and not just personalities – that are capable of projecting our decency and our sense of equality, justice and peace.
If we fail to do this, if we inveigh against just the large corporations that "poison us" and "torture animals" – to cite just one example, without understanding that this evil has less to do with the largeness of corporations or morality of individuals than it does with the rights granted to them all by the very institutions which we call "free," then we shall remain beautiful souls all, keeping the faith deep within the bowels of empire.
On the other hand, if we are able to look through an institutional lens and have some familiarity with the way in which some institutions so powerfully structure our lives, we might then become a force. We might then have a better chance of moving past Bush and his class, when he goes down.

Appendix B
Postexposure Prophylaxis to Prevent Hepatitis B Virus Infection
This appendix provides guidelines for management of persons with nonoccupational exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV) through a discrete, identifiable exposure to blood or body fluids (Table). Guidelines for postexposure prophylaxis of occupational exposures have been published separately (1) and are intended for use in settings in which postvaccination testing is recommended for certain employees (see Appendix A, Postvaccination Testing for Serologic Response) and in which programs are available to implement testing and follow-up algorithms. Recommendations for management of infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)--positive mothers also have been published separately (2).
HBsAg-Positive Exposure Source
- Persons who have written documentation of a complete hepatitis B vaccine series and who did not receive postvaccination testing should receive a single vaccine booster dose.
- Persons who are in the process of being vaccinated but who have not completed the vaccine series should receive the appropriate dose of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and should complete the vaccine series.
- Unvaccinated persons should receive both HBIG and hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible after exposure (preferably within 24 hours). Hepatitis B vaccine may be administered simultaneously with HBIG in a separate injection site. The hepatitis B vaccine series should be completed in accordance with the age-appropriate vaccine dose and schedule (see Table 2 and Box 5).
Exposure Source with Unknown HBsAg Status
- Persons with written documentation of a complete hepatitis B vaccine series require no further treatment.
- Persons who are not fully vaccinated should complete the vaccine series.
- Unvaccinated persons should receive the hepatitis B vaccine series with the first dose administered as soon as possible after exposure, preferably within 24 hours. The vaccine series should be completed in accordance with the age-appropriate dose and schedule (see Table 2 and Box 5).
- CDC. Updated U.S. Public Health Service guidelines for the management of occupational exposures to HBV, HCV, and HIV and recommendations for postexposure prophylaxis. MMWR 2001; 50(No. RR-11).

Thank you
for your hard work in spreading the message of invasive species. Your knowledge
and experience in communicating about invasive species is why we now ask you to
help us celebrate Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week in Minnesota.
EAB Awareness
Week will be celebrated from May 22 through May 28 in Minnesota as a part of a nationwide effort. The purpose of EAB Awareness Week is to get the message out
about emerald ash borer, and in particular, how EAB moves by humans transporting
The last week in May was chosen to provide information about EAB and firewood before the start of the unofficial camping season--Memorial Day Weekend. Our theme for the week is: Keep our trees safe. Use MDA certified or local firewood.
Although you may already be educating your community about emerald ash borer, here are a few suggestions to reach audiences you may have missed:
- Talk to your church or local hotel/motel and ask them to post a message on the outdoor sign
- Facebook post and tweet about emerald ash borer awareness week
Ask these groups if you can set-up a talk with for for them: Chamber of commerce, Boy or Girl Scouts, Kiwanis, Junior League, Fraternities or sororities, Audubon Societies, Local schools, Tree boards
- Alert your local television/newspaper/radio station
- Contact a local business or college to spell out something like "no EAB" via window lights or window shades.
A power point and outreach materials are available to those who request them through the Arrest the Pest Hotline. The Minnesota EAB crew
