On Monday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinals series. The Thunder jumped out in front early and the game turned into a veritable romp as Oklahoma City took the first game by a final score of 119-90.
The Lakers were trailing by 15 points at halftime, but things only got worse from there. While Los Angeles needed nothing more than to regroup and use their experience to take control, they instead fell behind by 30 points by the end of the third quarter. It was never close the rest of the way.
Andrew Bynum put up a big double-double for the Lakers, finishing with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Kobe Bryant had 20 points in the game. Russell Westbrook led all scorers with 27 points and Kevin Durant was close behind with 25. James Harden came off the bench for the Thunder to put up 17 points.

Fighting for school crumbs
Students and families in Richmond, Pinole, San Pablo and El Cerrito threatened with massive school closures demand justice
by Malaika Parker, Justice Matters
As I sat in solidarity with hundreds of families from all over the district, I was struck by the number of children, young children, pleading – crying – that their communities not be torn apart. As I listened to story after story of what the closure of a community school would mean for families, I thought about my daughter, a beautiful, vibrant preschooler who will soon enter the ranks of public elementary schools. I thought about what such a conversation would mean for her life.
For years the WCCUSD has been bitterly embattled in a monetary fight. This has resulted in a never-ending cry from students and families begging for schools to stay open in their communities.
As a community member, a mother and a former student of WCCUSD caught in the midst of the constant threat of school closures, I wonder at what point will the financial failure of this district be dealt with in a proactive way so that we may move on to the conversation about what happens in the classrooms of our schools. At what point does the conversation move from money – the fallacy that there is not enough in a country that spends trillions on war, bank rescue plans and so many other wasteful things – to what we are doing to ensure that the over 50 percent rate of school pushouts can be addressed.
When will it be time to address the fact that we are failing our students? When will we face the fact that hundreds of thousands of Black and Brown students who deserve an education that prepares them to live out their full potential are instead being pushed out of schools directly into prisons?
After an extremely heated meeting filled with the voices of teachers, students and families, many of whom are parent leaders with the Real Schools Now Campaign of Justice Matters, which works on policy and action to achieve a racially just classroom for students and families of color, Richmond and Pinole stepped in to save schools in their respective cities, with other cities expected to follow.
This action by cities in WCCUSD will spare many young people from being shipped off to schools completely disconnected from the strong heritage and sense of belonging of their communities. In addition, families will be spared the burden of paying an increased cost for transportation to and from school in these hard economic times.
Finally, it is not acceptable for a district to engage in a constant deficit approach to operating schools. Our children deserve abundance! A district without the wherewithal to balance a budget and keep schools open is sending a message to all of us families who have hoped for something better that we have a long way to go.
Malaika Parker, mother of Imani, is the campaign coordinator for Real Schools Now, a project of Justice Matters. To get more involved in the Real Schools Now Campaign, call (510) 860-3002 and visit www.justicematters.org.
A Recipe for Racially Just Schools
A community workshop on how to transform West Contra Costa County schools into safe and supportive spaces for students and families of color
At the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, 339 11th St. in Richmond, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, California Tomorrow will present a community workshops for parents, students, teachers and allies on how we can transform West Contra Costa schools into safe spaces that support young people of color academically, that honor students' lives, individual language, cultural identities and rich experiences, where the diversity of the student body is valued, and where students can learn and work together across groups.
"To be strong allies and advocates for their children, it is important that parents learn what is possible in their children's classrooms," said Olivia Araiza, parent, WCCUSD resident and executive director of Justice Matters, a non-profit policy and research institute which works on racial justice in education policy and launched the Real Schools Now Campaign in WCCUSD in 2006.
Food and musical performance from the Richmond Jazz Collective will be the featured. For more information, call Malaika Parker at (510) 860-3002.

Melbourne (Head Office)03 9859 6499 or1800 338 142
This document has been produced to address questions of equal opportunity.
The intention is to make clear:
At the Australian School of Performing Arts (ASPA) we believe that all employees and students should be able to work and learn in an environment free of discrimination and harassment. Discrimination and harassment are unacceptable forms of behaviour. An employee or student's intention is irrelevant when it comes to discrimination. We will not tolerate unfair treatment or discrimination under any circumstances.
We recognise that you can't do a good job or be fully productive if you feel someone at ASPA is treating you unfairly, discriminating against or harassing you because of a personal characteristic. That is why we will not support discrimination or harassment.
It is also against the law for any employee to discriminate against or harass any person in the organisation.
This document aims to describe the best possible environment in which choristers and employees of ASPA can excel and enact their responsibilities to ensure the peak performance of the organisation.
ASPA expects all students and employees to abide by the following Code of Conduct. With regard to discrimination and harassment employees and students will:
Procedures For Handling Allegations Of Discrimination & Harassment
We, at ASPA, undertake to deal with any complaints brought to us concerning a breach of this Equal Opportunity Policy sensitively and promptly. We will respect the privacy rights of individuals.
Should a complaint arise, ASPA encourages the complainant to consider the following options:
1. In the case of a staff member, the complainant may wish to approach the person(s) causing the problem - and ask them to stop the behaviour. In the case of a student she should report first to her Venue Manager or Tutor.
2. If the behaviour continues - or if it is not reasonable to approach the person - contact either:
for advice and support on procedures.
3. If the complainant chooses to proceed, a designated Grievance Officer will investigate the complaint.
4. The purpose of investigation is to establish whether discrimination or harassment occurred and, if so, what action should be taken to resolve the matter. If the complainant requests the Grievance Officer to investigate the complaint, this Officer's role is to:
5. If no resolution is achieved, the Grievance Officer will give all records to ASPA management, who will determine the appropriate course of action.
6. If the complaint is not resolved, the complainant may put a written complaint to an external organisation for mediation and/or arbitration, eg the State Equal Opportunity or anti discrimination agency.
No Direct Discrimination and No Indirect Discrimination - There is to be no direct discrimination at ASPA based on anyone's sex, race, age or any other reason that is against the law and there is to be no indirect discrimination for any of these reasons.
Direct discrimination - Direct discrimination is when someone proposes to treat you or has treated you less favourably because of your sex, race, or other protected attribute.
Direct discrimination often happens because people have stereotyped views about what all or most people of a particular group are like, or what they think all or most people of a particular group can or can't do. At ASPA we aim to treat people as individuals, not as a stereotype.
Indirect discrimination - This is when:
In this sort of case, if the treatment is not 'reasonable in all the circumstances' it will be indirect discrimination and against the law. In this workplace we aim to get rid of any form of indirect discrimination.
No harassment - In this workplace there is to be no sexual harassment, disability harassment, racist harassment, or any other type of unlawful harassment. This means no behaviour based on sex, race, age or other protected attribute that is:
Disability - Disability refers to the total or partial loss of any function or part of the body (for example, faulty vision, speech impediment or hearing loss); the malfunction of any part of the body; the malformation or disfigurement of any part of the body; the presence of an organism which may cause disease (for example, HIV, hepatitis); permanent or temporary loss or imperfect development of mental faculties (except where attributable to mental illness) resulting in reduced intellectual capacity; a disorder or malfunction that results in a person learning differently from others; a disorder, illness or disease that affects a person's thought processes, perception of reality, emotions of judgement or that results in disturbed behaviour.
The term disability covers physical, intellectual and psychiatric conditions.
Racial Discrimination - The race of a person means the nationality, country or origin, colour or ancestry of the person or of any other person with whom he or she resides or associates.
Racial discrimination involves a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.
Sexuality - Discrimination on the basis of sexuality means treating a person less favourably because of their heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality or transsexuality.
Pregnancy - Discriminating against a woman because she is pregnant is unlawful.
Age Discrimination - Age discrimination means treating a person unfairly because of their age.
Age discrimination often arises because of stereotypes and incorrect assumptions about people's abilities, based on how old or young they are. It can occur against people of any age, and deny them the opportunity for full participation.
Since our inception in 1984, the AGC has been the country's leading
performing arts organisation for girls, and today has 4,500 choristers training in singing, dancing and performing across Australia. All girls aged 5 and above are invited to begin by trying a free class at your local rehearsal venue.

Weiner, Spitzer Out: Thank You New York – CNN.com
Twelve years ago, New York City taught the nation about resilience in the face of a massive attack.
On Tuesday, New York again taught the nation that character counts.
There is, of course, no comparison between the horror of 9/11 and a mayoral primary in America's largest city. But while the shadow of the twin towers still hangs over the hearts of many in New York, the persistence of daily life remains a quiet sign of defiance.
This year, city politics seemed determined to hit a new low rather than aspire to new heights. A series of scandal-scarred candidates sucked up the oxygen amid an otherwise forgettable field. And for a while, Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer seemed likely to win their respective races on the strength of name ID and notoriety. Read More…
Why 'The Newsroom' matters – CNN.com
Aaron Sorkin's HBO show "The Newsroom" represents the reality of working in television news about as accurately as "The West Wing" captured working in politics — which is to say, not at all.
But both dramas did something more worthwhile: They expressed the idealism that should animate these careers. And in this time of creative destruction throughout the news industry, it's more important than ever before. That's why "The Newsroom" matters.
When "The West Wing" debuted in 1999, the political arena was suffering from a well-deserved dose of post-Monica cynicism. The smart kids were all making piles of money on Wall Street by surfing the tech bubble, and with the 2000 election looming between Bush and Gore, the status quo of peace and prosperity seemed boring.

'Sopranos' a Violent Fantasy for Middle-Aged Guys – CNN.com
Why do we love gangsters — at least the ones on TV and in the movies?
The sudden death of actor James Gandolfini at age 51 has brought a round of instant nostalgia for the HBO show he led at the turn of the millennium, "The Sopranos." It helped define the time for people living it, stretching between the excesses of the Clinton years and the grim patriotic grit of the post-9/11 period.
There was very little admirable about the character of Tony Soprano — most of us don't murder on our lunch break — and yet he became a kind of elevated everyman. Read More…
How Did 'Patriot' Become a Dirty Word? – CNN.com
On Memorial Day, we honor those patriots who gave "the last full measure of devotion" — in Abraham Lincoln's words — and died defending our freedom and union.
But this Memorial Day is partly clouded by the resurgence of partisan scandal in Washington. At the IRS, employees filtered through the exploding number of tax exemption applications by politically associated organizations by being on the lookout for groups that had the name "Tea Party" and "Patriot" in their name. This was improper, illegal, unethical and outrageous.
But hold on — when did the word "patriot" become a partisan pejorative? How did such a bipartisan positive word get identified as a sign of hyperpartisan politics?
It's actually an interesting story. Read More…

2008 Summer Volume 8 No. 1
Stay in the Race!Purchasing, Maintaining, and Recycling Your Equipment
Just as in racing, the relative success of your portable sanitation business can stand or fall on the quality and performance of your equipment. Purchasing the right equipment, maintaining it, and recycling it are core components of your success.
Kevin Keegan is the founder and president of KeeVac Industries, a custom designer of sanitation service trucks located in Sheridan, Colorado. JohnTalk asked him to give us some insight into this very important subject.
Determine What's Best for You
Before purchasing trucks, says Keegan, ask yourself what your needs are: What will your annual mileage be. How many toilets do you service in a week? What percentage of your equipment are hand-washing sinks versus portable toilets? Do you operate in a primarily cold or hot climate?
When you identify and can list your specific needs, a competent body builder will be able to help you with the proper design of your pumper. Next, work with your tank supplier to achieve the best value for your money, remember the cheapest is not always the best value. Then, work with your accountant or controller to determine whether it makes more sense for your business to lease or purchase the equipment.
Maintaining Your Equipment Assets is Key
According to Keegan, where trucks are concerned, following the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer is always best.
Your pumping system requires daily maintenance to ensure a long service life. On a daily basis, you will need to drain the secondary moisture trap and oil catch muffler. Most vacuum pump manufacturers recommend daily flushing of your pump—a simple procedure that will maximize pump life.
Daily inspection of the vehicle by the driver prior to the start of the day, using the Driver's Daily Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) is a D.O.T requirement and also ensures the safe operation of the vehicle systems.
Planned Replacement and Recycling
Most trucks have outlived their useful life and should be replaced about every seven to ten years. Good, well maintained tank and pumping systems should last fifteen to twenty years and can be recycled by remounting on a new truck chassis.
KeeVac's vacuum "pumper" trucks can be used for portable restroom service, septic tanks, liquid waste disposal, waste water, sewer cleaning, grease, sludge, and other hazardous waste disposal. They can build service trucks on a variety of chassis including Ford, Chevy, Isuzu, Peterbilt, Freightliner, International, KW and Sterling, using all 1/4" aluminum tanks and the industry's best pumps, hoses and accessories.
KeeVac Industries Inc. helps vacuum truck owners improve their efficiency through lightweight aluminum tanks mounted on correctly specified chassis. Keegan's personal experience in servicing portable toilets and septic tanks has resulted in many improvements for operator ease, operator safety and reduced maintenance costs.
Stay on Track
The time, energy, and money you spend on your equipment are central to the successful operation and growth of your business. Cutting corners here is a foolish economy that can cause your business to spin out and crash into the wall. Stay on track. Buy or lease the right equipment; maintain it; and stay on the sure road to a winning finish!

Time to sweep away the confetti and move the extra chairs back to the kitchen. Pick up all those plastic cups and take out the recycling. The party is definitely over. The blog has turned three, and change is on the horizon. Not the kind of change that makes people's lives qualitatively different, but the kind of change that makes you remember when things were different.
The gas station up the street has finally caved in to the four dollar a gallon mark, while a few others in the neighborhood are clinging to the illusory "$3.99". I suppose you might want to believe that this is a change in the quality of life, but I can't see how paying more for something that we're not supposed to be using anyway changes anything but the quantity. Watching my son mull over which toy to buy last week, I had the same feeling. We had spent the weekend before clearing off shelf space for new things when the old things had only recently stopped being new. Should he get a Transformer, or a Bionicle? I confess that I have become numb to the differences between robot-type-action-figures-for-which-some-assembly-is-required. But I knew that for him, this was a great dilemma.
Please understand that I continue to live very close to the edge in my own private economy. I buy a tremendous amount of stuff I don't need: that jar of "Goober and Grape" for starters. I am presently fighting the suburban urge to re-sod my lawn. Looking out of the office window, it looks fine, but when you get out and roll around on it, you notice the bare patches and the weeds.
And that's what this feels like: Looking out the window at the last three years and seeing how things have changed, and how much they're still the same. I'm still here.

Town snap up Irish winger
Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Irish winger Stephen Hunt on a short-term deal until January.
The 32-year-old has 39 caps for the Republic of Ireland but has been without a club since leaving League One side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer.
Hunt is certainly no stranger to Tractor Boys boss Mick McCarthy, with McCarthy having signed the midfielder for Wolves in 2010.
The wide man is available for Saturday's match at Blackpool, a club he ironically nearly joined earlier in the season.

Redmond couple has new home for the holidays
Updated On: Dec 10 2012 10:45:38 AM CST
Volunteers, neighbors and well-wishers came together on Saturday to help a couple celebrate a new home right in time for Christmas.
It was the first-ever home remodel for the Redmond Habitat for Humanity, and many volunteers and donors came together to remodel a house in Redmond for a couple who until recently had only dreamed of owning a home.
Sam Durso and Resha Spero moved into their new home in September, but just recently signed the official ownership paperwork.
The couple told NewsChannel 21 they are grateful for all the community support and want to thank everyone who lended a helping hand.
""It's just a different feeling, owning your home, being able to paint your walls whatever color you want," Spero said.
Redmond Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps low-income families achieve home ownership.

If the math I'm doing is correct, why don't have enough assets to swing for the fences and try to bring in Lebron and another max deal player?
The belief has been that the Cavs would rather let Lebron walk than get back mediocre pieces that eat cap space in a sign and trade. Plus they don't want anyone else to be able to offer 6 years to Lebron. So with approximately $20 million in cap space, we can sign Lebron outright. If we are able to woo Lebron and lay out our plan, I think we have enough to bring in a big like Bosh or Stoudemire.
As for acquiring another piece, we have McGee, Young, and Thornton combining for about $7 million. We would still have about $3 million in cap space after signing Lebron. We have a $6 million dollar trade exception. That adds up to $16 million in salary we can take back in one deal. That's about how much we would need for another max player. We also have the sign and trade rights to Josh Howard and Mike Miller to further add to any package.
Maybe throw in future draft picks. Toronto seems to have accepted that they will sign and trade Bosh. Could the really turn down a combo of 1st rounders that includes SG, SF, an athletic 7 footer, and future picks? I think Phoenix could be more picky, but I feel like Amare could potentially push the issue more to force the organization to make the deal. This could be a championship roster where the top 4 would be locked up for at least 4 years:
PG Wall
SG Arenas
SF James
PF Bosh
C Blatche
The rest of the roster will take care of itself. We'll have the #30 and #34 picks. We can still bring over Preldzic and Veremeenko. That's 9 players. Then bring in 3 more minimum salary guys to fill out the roster. Plus we will still have our $4.5 million and $1.4 million exceptions to keep making moves. Next year, we will have the MLE to keep building.

(11/21/12) - The family of Saginaw's latest murder victim is speaking out for
the first time. 16-year old Walter Riley III was shot in broad daylight last
Friday. His body was found in a vacant lot on the city's east side. Police are
still searching for his killer.
Family members say Walter was like most boys his age out-going and fun, and
he enjoyed playing football. They believe someone saw or heard something last
Friday and they want that person to come forward and help police.
"It's time for us to put an end to the silence in the streets," said Walter's
great uncle Larry Cole. Cole is also a member of the newly organized Tri-County
National Action Network, a chapter of the civil rights group founded by the Rev.
Al Sharpton. Cole says the organization works with police to keep the peace.
"What we are trying to do is make a difference in the community," he said.
Ironically, he found about his nephew's murder while working with the group.
"We had just assembled a grief committee that Thursday before this killing
happened and I began to call up different people on the committee and let them
know that there was a homicide and then as we gathered and got there on the
scene of the crime we learned that it was my great nephew."
A devastating way to learn of a loved ones untimely death. Now a man who
volunteers to protect his community is asking others to speak up, and to keep
his family in their thoughts.
"We are going to need much prayer in this situation, so we ask that ya'll just

|Jeremy Roenick finshed out the regular season with nine points in his last eight games. Roenick highlights
Sixteen years ago, Jeremy Roenick was a brash 21-year-old playing for the hard-nosed, demanding Mike Keenan in Chicago. Together, the player and coach guided the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup Final before being swept by Mario Lemieux and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
At the time, hockey fans everywhere figured Roenick was destined to win at least one Cup, possibly two, or more. They thought he would do it in Chicago. They just assumed Keenan would be his coach.
Well, Keenan left for the New York Rangers two seasons later and found gold on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 33rd Street. Roenick, who left Chicago after a disappointing 1995-96 season, is still waiting to get back in the Final.
However, the 38-year-old Roenick believes his team this season, the San Jose Sharks, affords him the best opportunity to end years of postseason misery. All he has to do first is knock out his old friend and former coach.
Keenan's Calgary Flames, the seventh seed out West, open the Playoffs tonight against Roenick, Joe Thornton, Brian Campbell and the No. 2 Sharks at HP Pavilion.
"Oh I've got a lot of Mike Keenan stories," Roenick said during a conference call Monday. "Mike is by far one of my most favorite coaches I have had in my career. He's near and dear to me. He is the guy who made me the type of player I am in terms of my mentality and the way I play."
Not many in the NHL these days are as familiar as Roenick is with the playoff version of Keenan, who hasn't coached a postseason game since he was in St. Louis in 1996.
"During the 1992 Stanley Cup Final, I got slashed in the hand by Kevin Stevens and Mike threw a cast on my hand and put me in front of the media in a press conference to get a point across that they were cheap-shotting us," Roenick recalled. "He used me as the bait, the guinea pig to show everybody how he thought we'd been screwed by the refs. It was kind of embarrassing, but you have to do what Mike Keenan says."
Even though it's been a dozen years since Keenan has coached a playoff game, Roenick fully expects the same kind of shenanigans from his old coach.
"Absolutely," he said. "I think Mike is a genius when it comes to head games, when it comes to getting into the referee's heads or the player's heads. He's a genius at the mental part of getting people to play. That is what has made him so successful for so many years.
"He's very slippery, very sly," Roenick continued. "He can manipulate people by the things that come out of his mouth. That's a gift. He made every one of us in Chicago play like it was our last game. I have the utmost respect for Mike Keenan."
When – not if – Keenan starts chirping at the refs, the Flames, the Sharks, heck even the hot dog vendors from the bench in this series, Roenick plans to tell everybody on his team to ignore it.
That's just Mike being Mike. He knows what that's all about.
"I'll just say turn the cold shoulder, put the earplugs in," Roenick said. "I think he has toned down a lot in his older years as I have myself. The game has changed and I think Mike has changed with the game. I'm just really happy that he's still banging it out and coaching and doing a great job doing it."

which version are you using?
I've got issues with thumbnails on category pages: they are distorted. Please see the example here: Gaggia | Raw Espresso
I've tried to upload another picture for post, it didn't work. I also uploaded new thumbnail and adjusted the change in custom field. It did work but thumbnails in the right hand sidebar changed too: for the worse, they look badly distorted. Is there any way I can have nice thumbnails in both category page and side bar? Would disabling automatic image resize script help to solve the issue? If yes, how do I disable it?

The 2008 Royals finished 13 games out of first place in the AL Central -- an improvement on the recent past with much work still be done.
The 12-game losing streak was out of the ordinary. Few saw the 13-2 finish coming. But at Jose Guillen's last angry glare, the club's record stood at 75-87 -- below average, not embarrassing and pretty much on par with spring-training predictions.
The hitting of Alex Gordon and Billy Butler didn't take the forward leaps that many foretold. At the same time, it was easy to imagine Brian Bannister, the brainy but hardly overpowering starting pitcher, struggling in his second full season, and that no good would come from journeyman Ross Gload getting 400 at-bats. Only the frequency and content of Guillen's outbursts were unknowns, his antisocial behavior being a fact as certain as his right-handedness.

If I had one word to describe the class attitude last night, it would be "pissy." Everyone was in a sour mood the entire time. Despite the culture of the celebrity chef, there are no stars in a kitchen, just a team. When half the members of that team are in a bad mood then the other half feels it and pretty soon everyone is in a bad mood.

Beck, with MGMT
September 29, 2008
The Uptown Theater
By RICHARD GINTOWT
Click to view our slideshow.
For the first five years of Beck's mainstream career, it seemed like each of his albums were paradigm shifts. Each invented an entirely different context with a unified body of material. That started changing about the time of Guero, and though all his subsequent releases have been worthwhile affairs, they no longer come with the requisite excitement of "what in the world will this guy do next?" At some point, Beck just started sounding like Beck. It's like what marriage feels like after a decade or so: not terribly exciting but pretty darn good. (Ok, actually I have no idea what marriage feels like after a decade.)

Emo Boehner is very sad. The Fed is furiously printing new money, since sad congressional Republicans' feelings got hurt by a MEAN STUPID LADY,causing them to reject the Wall Street bailout plan and go listen to Death Cab while cutting on themselves because AT LEAST THEN THEY CAN FEEL SOMETHING! Specifically, the Fed is coughing up around $480 billion in emergency lending programs and injections of cash into foreign money markets. I'm no economist, but I am extraordinarily sexy. And I know that Venezuela's 1990s experiment in printing money resulted in runaway hyperinflation, and I am totally dreading paying upwards of $500 for a veggie burrito.

In times of crisis, people revert to canned goods. Yesterday, only one stock on the S&P gained. Only one out of 500! That stock you ask? Campbell Soup. (Wonkette)
Speaking of values, food marketers are now shying away from pushing expensive new lines and reverting back to "cost-value" safe foods. That is, safe foods with a very healthy profit margin. (WSJ)
Something fishy's going on. Or at least something is 40 percent breaded minced fishy when it comes to these fish sticks. (Consumerist)
All right, I'll come out and say it. I subscribe to both and right now New York Magazine is kicking the New Yorker's butt, in story ideas, content, humor, lists, you name it.

Kansas City already has plenty of famous mob bosses. Add Babette Geer to that list.
As soon as the Brookside resident saw Brent Schulkin's video, she knew she had to recruit a "Carrotmob" of her own. "It just talked to me," the environmentalist says. "I thought, I've got to do this."
Unlike the notorious Pendergast family, Schulkin's -- and Geer's -- mob aims to battle global warming through coordinated consumer spending. Like any organized crime ring, though, the business benefactors need to earn the mob's patronage by promising to funnel some of their profits into green retrofits.
In the past six weeks, Geer and a small volunteer team have been working to make this cowtown just the fourth city in the world to mobilize an underground army of green consumers and direct their financial arsenal at one specific location at one specific time.
Click here for a new YouTube video the group posted this weekend explaining Carrotmob's roots and why it wants you to buy generous amounts of liquor on October 21.

An investigation into the firing of nine U.S. attorneys confirms the rumor that Missouri Sen. Kit Bond can't stomach Jeff Roe, the sharp-elbowed Republican operative.
I had heard that Bond and his people didn't like Roe (pictured) in 2004. I was reporting a story about Roe and the rough tactics he deployed against Republicans and Democrats alike. Congressman Sam Graves' longtime political adviser, Roe is famous for negative campaigning at Lee Atwater-Karl Rove altitudes. In an effort to beat back Kay Barnes' challenge this fall, Team Graves has resorted to homophobia, airing ads that decry the former Kansas City mayor's "San Francisco values."
Todd Graves, the congressman's brother, was among the nine U.S. attorneys who were told to resign in 2006 and 2007. An investigation of the firings released today found "significant evidence that political and partisan considerations were an important factor," as Bush administration critics have alleged.
Graves was the first attorney ordered down the plank. The Justice Department investigators who looked into the firings determined that complaints from Bond's office prompted Graves' removal.

Supposedly, it's hard to get a date in Kansas City. Maybe it's just easy to get laid here. So says Mingle2, an online dating Web site, which ranks KC in the top 10 most promiscuous cities in the United States.
Mingle2's Dating Report says the average Kansas Citian has slept with 11 people. But we don't have shit on Mobile, Alabama, where the average is 16.
Not sure how accurate information is since the "study" is based on Mingle2's online survey.
Wrap it up, sluts.

The Riot Room
Better than: Making every green light from the River Market to Midtown on Main in the middle of the day.
By BERRY ANDERSON
Troy Van Horn of Federation of Horsepower.
Last Friday night, even though entertainment options were as numerous as dancing baby boomers in the P&L, I had no trouble choosing my destination for the evening. At that point in the week, I was tired as fuck and if I had balls, they needed to be rocked off. The only solution was the Riot Room.
Parking my car a block away, I could already hear the thunderous drum beats of Buddy Lush. A previous spectator of many a Buddy Lush Phenomenon matinee show at the Brick, I quickly recognized that Duh-duhduh-duh-duh that ends most, if not all of their songs. This time however, it was on real drums and not that pickle bucket bullshit normally used for their early evening shows.
Seven dollars for the door dude and a stiff ass Smirnoff Watermelon and Roaring Lion later, I moved to the front of the sparse indoor crowd to hear frontman Jon Paul open a tune with something about "old folks" and "back before any of you can remember." Buddy Lush can be described as a three-piece of highly seasoned, hard rockin' older dudes that have been around these parts for a piece (heard any Sin City Disciples lately?). They pretty much don't give a fuck either. That being said, they really didn't have much patience for my questions, my camera and me.
Middle aged lady...now EVERYONE knows Bruno was a firefighter. Now everyone knows Hubbard lies. He…
The whole kcfd vs kcpd argument is tired and played out. The officer didn't know…
Bruno was blackout drunk and seriously assaulting a cop, it was not a slap fight,…
So Ti, in your opinion, black-out drunk, assault and resisting arrest justifies taking this young…
Obvious answer for FiveO watch the video. The officers were asked if they were ordered…

Nokia 920 in China hardware restricted to (crappy) China Windows Marketplace
I live in Beijing and just bought a Lumia 920 for my wife as she wanted a sturdy phone with a large screen that our baby isn't likely to break. (I'm a happy iPhone user myself and no fan of Windows, which I ditched 10 years ago for Linux and Mac after suckling at MS' bosom since Win3.1, but I must say that the Lumia 920 is a beautiful piece of hardware, arguably the best of any phone so far. And while I find the WP UI a bit frustrating, I think they hit on a winner with Live Tiles.)
I started trying to set her up with collection of useful apps only to find out that every single one I wanted was "unavailable" in the China Windows Marketplace. I'm not referring to the usual suspects like FB and Twitter, but pretty much any good app that I looked for. Even Skype, owned by MSFT, wasn't available!
After hours of frustrated attempts at switching Marketplaces (which, unlike iOS, can only be done once when first setting up the phone--if you want to change it later, you have a to a full factory reset—stupidity) and getting nowhere, I finally got ahold of a MSFT support staff online who was helpful, friendly and informed, but unfortunately told me that the model sold in China (the 920T to be specific) is hardware restricted to the China Marketplace. This piece of rather critical information isn't mentioned on the Windows Phone site anywhere (and a Google search didn't turn up the info either). There's no such thing as returns here in China (not with phones at least), so we're stuck. Thankfully my wife doesn't care as much about apps as I do, so it's not the end of the world. If it were my phone ... It made me realize how little use I would get out of a smartphone without a good selection of apps.
Anyway, besides wanting to get some good from my experience by warning people to make sure that the WP model they buy outside the US isn't hardware restricted to the app store in their country (which may or may not be full of crap), I was wondering if anyone in other countries has had that experience with their WP or if it's something specific to China, or any experiences related to Marketplace restrictions. Why are there so few apps on the China Marketplace anywhere? Do devs have to submit their apps to each country's store individually (in which case, I can see that being a hassle that many would not bother with).

John Keith - EMBA 2010
Career Overview
I've been with BNP Paribas since 2011, establishing and building the financial and official institution coverage team within Corporate & Investment Banking. I also work as a non-executive director for Atomo Diagnostics, started by a fellow Global EMBA graduate John Kelly, and for Room to Read Australia, part of a global not for profit. My earlier roles include positions with Nomura Securities Australia & Hong Kong, as Deputy Managing Director Australia and Regional Head of Capital Markets Asia Pacific. I became a banker through the Barclays Bank New Zealand and Australia Graduate Programme, within the derivatives group and credit/underwriting group.
Why did you decide to do the EMBA?
To learn to look, to wonder and then try - and then repeat. So I was trying to reverse the manner in which I had been approaching most things in my career.
What was the most fulfilling part of the EMBA program?
The most fulfilling part of the program was becoming immersed in each experience, among friends in extraordinary situations. For example, we found ourselves lost in the maze of downtown Bangalore while trying to find the offices of one of India's largest construction companies. We were on our way there to discuss their use of solar hot water systems.
When we did find the office, the resulting discussion proved to be pivotal in allowing us to identify a silent barrier to foreign firms doing business in India. This barrier lay in the terms of the considerable lending subsidies that were available from India's government agencies.
That same day, we very nearly paid a visit to Ravi Shankar's house, but it did prove too elusive. The experience was important to us as a group - but not as fulfilling as Sunday night Italian in the Languedoc, or taking up ski-shooting in Palo Alto.
How did the EMBA change you - both professionally and personally?
Professionally, I learnt to develop genuine patience and integrity in looking and listening - and only then to draw insights and offer a different, useful point of view. Personally, I found that accepting uncertainty as a vital step to understanding the possibility of change was of pressing importance.
Tell us about your EMBA experience
The EMBA experience was a compelling exercise in humanity and humility. Fourteen of us met for the first time, early one Sunday morning in February 2010, on a steamy Sydney morning. We had been drawn together as the first cohort, a fact that bonded us instantly. We recognised quickly that we had individually and now jointly made a sizeable commitment to a new, unproven program.
Within 72 hours, we had sung, acted, listened and laughed together. Twelve days after that, we had all reached an agreement: there would be no turning back, and no-one would be left behind.
We were exposed to truly extraordinary minds, ideas and experiences. We wrote reflective essays in an effort to capture some of what we had learnt from each other. The changes that we all underwent structured and propelled the entire experience.
How did you achieve work/study/life balance whilst undertaking the EMBA?
I am not sure that I did. It's very tempting to throw yourself into participating. There is a lot of preparatory work before modules. Each of the modules had such a profound effect that I found myself with plenty of work to do at their end. I think it's important to get out and about during the modules and to plan a holiday or short break at the end.
Since completing the EMBA what are you most looking forward to in your career?
I am really looking forward to working with growing, emerging companies that practice a core unorthodox belief in "human centred design".
Greatest challenge of your career to date?
Starting a capital markets business in Asia during the Asian Financial Crisis - guessing at what would make sense, finding courageous colleagues and setting out.
Current Position, Organisation:
Managing Director, Head of Financial & Official Institutions Group, BNP Paribas
Nationality/cultural identity:
New Zealander
Languages spoken:
English, French (poorly)
Countries lived/worked in:
Australia, New Zealand & Hong Kong
Education overview:
- BA (Hons) - Honours paper Economic Cost of Apartheid Policies in South Africa Victoria University Wellington
- Master of Applied Finance - Macquarie University
- Executive MBA - Research paper Client Centric Investment Banking University of Sydney
- University of Sydney
Best business book/motivational book you have read in the last 12 months?
- Uncommon sense, common nonsense Jules Goddard and Tony Eccles - please read if you read nothing else.
- Managers not MBAs Henry Mintzberg - this is a great book. I read it then realised why anyone would want to enrol in Sydney's MBA or EMBA program.
- Reinventing Management Julian Birkinshaw - a chance to see why commonsense needs to be restored through practice.
- Try Seth Godin's Graceful as an entertaining summary of contemporary business and workplace possibilities.
- Raising the Bar, The History of Clif Bar Inc. Gary Erickson - a compelling business story set in California and the Italian Alps.
- Hard Facts, Dangerous Half Truths & Total Nonsense Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton - title says it all as does Pfeffer's Power, both compelling lists of candid heuristics.
- Change by Design Tim Brown, CEO at Ideo and so immediate descendent of the designers of the first Apple computer, mouse and interactive graphics (on screen visuals for programming)
- Be Excellent at Everything (Why We're Working Isn't Working) Tony Schwartz and others - valuable insights into engagement and reflection.
- It's All About the Bike Robert Penn, a great story of craftsmen and travellers
Daily website 'favourites':
- Financial Times

Motto to live/work by:
How might we? Prudence, justice, temperance & courage

Thomasville-- They've been home for almost a month, so h ow are members of the 1148th Transportation Company adjusting?
The 1148th served overseas in Kuwait and Iraq for 15 months.
Now, after a warm welcome home celebration, the soldiers are adjusting to a more normal life, back with their families and friends.
It's been just under a month since a homecoming parade was held through downtown Thomasville. In the time since, the soldiers have been readjusting to life at home, doing simple things like mowing the grass, and we caught up with Staff Sergeant Lamar Young and his wife Judy.
For 15 months, every time Judy Young sat on this couch, she did so alone, but not anymore. "It's just good to see my husband back in one piece," she says.
Young served in Operation Iraqi Freedom for 15 months. Now, he's learning how to serve again on the homefront. "I'm working in that yard, that's the main thing, getting that yard straight. Like I said, painting, painting rooms, gotta redo the kitchen," Lamar grinned.
And of course, he's had some time to relax. "Sitting down doing nothing, a couple of days, here and there."
Those days of relaxation are well deserved. After being deployed to Kuwait, and having their stay extended, he and the rest of the 1148th, needed some TLC. "It was pretty rough, the morale kind of went down once everyone got the word that we were going to be staying longer."
But now, his spirits are high and he's enjoying spending time with those he loves in a safe environment. "I'm glad to be back. That's the biggest part of it, getting back here seeing your family and all."
Because, after all, he's "Got a lot of making up to do."
The Youngs have been married for five years, but they're still practically newlyweds. He's missed two anniversaries, and his son's birthday, so he's glad to be back.
Before Staff Sergeant Young goes back to work however, Young says he is going to redecorate the kitchen for his wife. He'll be painting the cabinets and laying tile flooring.

the thought of becoming an adult one day is the scariest thing ever why cant i live the rest of my life blogging about fictional characters and laughing at stupid shit
I am going to let you in on the worst-kept secret in fandom: we're actually mostly adults around here.
I am thirty-two years old. One of my oldest friends is pushing forty. His older sister is forty-six. We all blog about fictional characters and stupid shit. One of the first people who ever GMed a tabletop RPG for me still goes to cons. He's at least fifty.
We are all, in theory, grown adults who are holding down jobs and have cars or rent or morgage payments or student loans and/or marriages and/or children. We vote and eat bran-tastic food for our hearts and buy sensible shoes.
Also, the first song I danced to at my first Homecoming dance was recently played on a local oldies station, dear god.
I mean, seriously. Grownups. We made it to the other side, fan-brains intact. So can you.
Becoming an adult is not scary. Becoming an adult is not about stopping with the tumbling and the cat videos. It's just about doing that shit between work and errands instead of between school and chores. It's about being able to do different kinds of epic shit — I may not be able to write another 50k fanfic, but I can decorate my entire kitchen in Captain America stuff and re-wire my rice cooker so the light looks like an arc reactor.
If you're worried about no longer being fannish and not liking ridiculous silly shit (I assume 'for no good reason', aka 'growing out of it'), you're worried about becoming boring, not old.
So what if people call what we do childish? A: they're wrong, there's some serious grown-up badassery going 'round in fandoms, and B: what's wrong with being childish? Are children something we should avoid being like? Doesn't everyone wish they could return to childhood?
We are living a friggin' eternal youth on the internet. Anyone tells you 'grownups don't do this stuff' is just jealous. Hmph.
Now get off my damn lawn, kid.

Pet ducks are dumped
9:30am Saturday 28th April 2012 in Bicester
Two men jumped out a van and dumped five ducks in a car park.
Passers-by watched the men drive to an area behind the Co-op, in Bassett Avenue, Bicester, then dump the domestic ducks and drive off in a white Transit van.
Onlookers ushered the ducks to a safer area and called the RSPCA.
Inspector Andy Eddy said the ducks had been left in a "dangerous place" and could easily have been hurt by another animal or run over.
He said: "This is quite a bizarre incident and it is hard to understand why someone would dump five domestic ducks. It is also quite a strange area to leave them in.
"The ducks seem to be in reasonable health and they are with foster carers now.
"But it was a dangerous place to have dumped them and they could have easily gone on to the road or been attacked by another animal."
He urged anyone with information about the incident, at 1pm on Wednesday, April 11, to call the RSPCA cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.

Ten years seems like a blip in the life span of many bands.
Black Sabbath has been playing for four times that long and they just got nominated for three more Grammys.
For local bands, being around 10 years is an achievement.
"It seems bands come and go so quickly now," says Mat Bolden, who sings and plays rhythm guitar for The Remedy, which has been playing since 2003.
And the current lineup — Bolden, along with Eric Wilson on rap vocals and rhythm guitar; Jason Awbrey on drums; Stephen Tasy on lead guitar and Blake Winter on bass — isn't looking to quit anytime soon.
"We joke that we'll still be playing in this damn band when we're at the old folks home," Bolden says.
Here's more of Bolden's take on the band and its longevity.
Aside from lineup changes and the like, how has the band changed since the early days?
Our style has changed quite a bit. We had a more pop-punk sound when we were starting out, and I guess you could say we got heavier and heavier throughout the years. Also, the lyrics and a lot of the melodies we used to write just sound plain cheesy if you listen to them now. At the time, we thought we were brilliant … but reflection is really how you grow as a musician and songwriter, I think. We were kids and we had a lot to learn. We're still learning. Hopefully we won't look back on these songs 10 years from now and think a similar thing.
What is the secret in keeping a band around for 10 years?
Don't do it for the money because there ain't none. Play rock shows because they are fun, not because you have delusions of grandeur. Be friends first and bandmates second. Check your ego at the door. Be open to new and different ideas and musical styles. Don't take life too seriously. Drink lots of beer.
I'm gonna throw out some terms I'd associate with the band. Melodic metal, hip-hop, hardcore, post-punk. Do any of these (or all of them) accurately describe the band?
Yes, probably all of those terms, plus (I hope this doesn't sound pretentious) anthematic. We like to mix it up a bit but still stay within the realms of "heavy rock." Who likes listening to the same song over and over?
Tell us about the new EP.
We recorded our new EP with Robbie Olsen of Rolsen recordings earlier this year. It was an awesome experience — the most professional but time-consuming recording we had ever done. It features three songs that we are all pretty proud of.
Where can people track down a copy?
You can download our album from iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Google Play, music stream it on Spotify, or get a download card/sticker from one of us personally at a show. Or wherever, really. Send us a message.

Caregivers and family members of Alzheimer's patients receive a special message today; you are not alone.
Speakers at the forum offered more than practical strategies addressing every day challenges as reason for hope, they shared their personal connections to the disease that claims the memories of a new person every 69 seconds.
Greg Kyrouac directs the School of Medicine pertaining to Alzheimer's related disorders at Southern Illinois University.
Today he's not just a voice of knowledge, but one of experience as well.
His grandmother suffered from the disease.
"It was difficult at times obviously she doesn't always remember everything. She doesn't remember my name. That can be upsetting to people but what she did remember is that she still knew how to play music."
Losing memory doesn't mean every detail is lost. While his grandmother didn't remember who Greg was, she recognized his role in her life and he says, that kept him going.
"She knew emotionally that I was somebody who loved her and cared for her. And even thoughs she didn't know the name, maybe she didn't even know I was her grandson. She knew that we were somebody that was connected and that was important to know."
With a slowly progressive nature Alzheimer's can last from 2 to 20 years
"When you start noticing something, memory-wise, it could be a good ten to twelve years before you're really in the full throws of the disease," says Susan Sklar, Alzheimer's Association.
Sklar's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 6 years ago. She passed just months ago and while watching her mother's condition deteriorate was heartbreaking, she considers herself lucky for a reason many cannot.
"She always knew who I was, thank goodness for that. But not having my mother, she forgot my birthdays, she really didn't know what Christmas was. It was very, very difficult not having that support."

Baltimore Ravens speedy wide receiver Torrey Smith has two touchdowns in the team's divisional round matchup in Denver against the Broncos. Those two touchdowns are the only two offensive touchdowns the Ravens have scored, the other being a pick-six off of Peyton Manning by Corey Graham. Those two touchdowns were also against Ravens cornerback Champ Bailey, and it could have been much, much worse.
Smith, the Ravens' deep-threat receiver, has made Bailey show his age on Saturday as he has two receptions for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Bailey has struggled badly to keep up with Smith down the field and has been burnt on more than these two occasions. Bailey was beaten badly by Smith on two other plays, one down the middle of the field but Joe Flacco overthrew badly. The other was down the sidelines, but Smith wasn't able to hold on to the ball or stay in bounds.
Had Flacco and Smith connected on both of those passes, Smith would have likely had at least 160 yards and three touchdowns at halftime.
It's fairly obvious that the Ravens are picking on Bailey, using Smith's speed to pick up big plays. However, while Bailey has been made to look a fool twice so far in the first half, he should feel lucky it isn't much worse for him right now.
Bailey's ability to go one-on-one with the opposing offense's No. 1 receiver is a big part of the Broncos' defensive game plan. It will be interesting to see what adjustments the secondary makes to help Bailey handle Smith in the second half and what other options potentially open up for Flacco and the Ravens offense.

Otley hit and miss but take the spoils
7:06pm Sunday 6th January 2013 in Sport By John Finch
Otley 32 Stockport 22
Without ever looking in danger, Otley made hard work of beating bottom club Stockport but they scored some delightful tries to excite their followers.
They made the perfect start when the ball was quickly shipped to James Twomey, who left the defence for dead to score just under the two-minute mark.
The visitors, however, settled into their game plan of hard running and close support.
They gave Otley a shock when full back James Drew came up the left wing to race through to the corner.
Ben Cooper kicked a penalty for the hosts but it was not until the 27th minute that the next try came, Robert Afoa-Peterson bursting through to put Michael Coady in at the posts, Cooper converting.
The home defence was proving a little unsteady and scrum half Sam Cottrell slipped through to put Drew away for a second try.
At this point, Stockport lost No 6 Daniel Eccles to a red card for punching.
Otley took immediate advantage, driving over for Jonathan Matthews to score.
It was 14 minutes into the second half before Otley were able to build on their score, Twomey setting off in his own half to chip the defence, collect a kind bounce and finish under the posts. Cooper added the extras before retiring with an ankle injury.
Dan Temm was next on the scoresheet for the Cross Greeners, stealing a long Stockport throw at a 40-metre lineout to run through a surprised defence.
To Stockport's credit they fought on, tries from lock Mike Waddington and winger Miles Hall earning them a bonus point, with replacement Richard Geary adding a conversion.

Administration division reorganizes staff
"I believe the time is right to better align the division to fulfill the strategic plan's objectives and gain some efficiencies," he said.
Major changes include:
• Hiring Leonard V. Kogut as associate vice president for administration and Jillian Harrington as director of compliance and risk assessment.
• Separating the Purchasing operation from Accounts Payable/Travel and providing additional managerial support in those areas.
• Realigning the functions in Campus Community Services to other areas of the division. The Office of Telecommunications will merge with Computing Services. Vendor Relations, the DIFR, Student Organization Liaison, BUC$ and the former Campus Community Services fiscal services will be incorporated into the Business Affairs organization.
• Assigning University Police responsibility for the card access program.
• Promoting Sylvia M. Hall from director of human resources to assistant vice president.
Some offices may eventually move, but not immediately, and none of the division's approximately 875 employees will lose his or her job as a result of the changes.
Kogut, who has experience with all of the operations he will oversee, will take Van Voorst's former position. Harrington's job is a new position that will provide a higher level of assurance that the campus is in compliance with regulatory requirements and policies.
The 20 people who work in Telecommunications will join Computing Services' roughly 90 employees. The new department will likely be renamed to reflect the more contemporary configuration and will be better positioned to take advantage of a variety of changes and advances in these fields.
Mark Reed, associate vice president for computing and educational technology, said he has long advocated merging the two operations.
"Our first goal is to make sure that things stay on course and continue to work," he said. "I think the campus should look forward to better integrated services in the future and the same high or even higher standards of customer service."
He noted that Telecommunications has a history of strong creativity and customer service as well as an entrepreneurial spirit. The new larger operation will have even better depth technically than the two units had individually.
Voice communications are increasingly being converted to digital signals that can be routed over the data network, Reed said. Hand-held mobile devices now combine telephone, e-mail, cameras and other technology. The campus needs to find ways to take advantage of these trends.
"It enables more streamlined planning about all these different services that are on the horizon," he said.
While Telecommunications will merge with Computing Services, Purchasing and Accounts Payable/Travel are being separated to give each area focused leadership. Ken Waskie will now be able to focus his leadership effort on Purchasing, while John Cordi, who had been director of revenue accounting, will add leadership for the Accounts Payable and Travel operation to his responsibilities.
Van Voorst said the arrangement is the best way to deal with the increasing workload and regulatory requirements. The two offices will report to Kogut.
The Campus Community Services organization will change so that the services and support it has provided will be better aligned within the division.
Van Voorst noted that JoAnn Navarro has done an exceptional job as interim associate vice president for Campus Community Services as she divided her time between this area and physical facilities.
"It is a tribute to JoAnn and the others who supported her dual role that during the time she was away, operations continued to run smoothly and many new initiatives took place," he said.
Navarro will return to her post in Physical Facilities in early March in an expanded role with a title change reflecting increased responsibilities.
The promotion of Sylvia Hall to assistant vice president is a change both to recognize the importance of Human Resources within the organizational structure and to acknowledge her contributions in the role and to the University.
Finally, the University Police will take over the card access program, which will likely expand in coming years. "Card access is about safety and security," Van Voorst said, "and it makes sense to put that program in the hands of accomplished professionals in that area."
Van Voorst added: "I plan to continually evaluate how we do our job. While these changes represent just the first step, they are fundamental and important ones."

(02/06/12) - The U.S. Postal Service says it's ending Saturday mail delivery starting Aug. 1, but packages will still be delivered.
The Postal Service says this will help save a few billion dollars. They expects to generate cost savings of about two billion dollars annually once the plan is full implemented.
"What we're announcing today is not very complicated. Package delivery will continue Monday through Saturday. There will be no changes in terms of post offices hours. If we're open Saturday, we'll be open Saturday. We'll continue to deliver mail to post office boxes on Saturday, which is very important for a number of businesses. Mail delivery will occur Monday through Friday and we will not deliver nor collect mail on Saturday," said Patrick Donahoe, USPS Postmaster General.
Since 2008, there's been a steady decline in the amount of mail delivered.
"People pay their bills online. It's simple, it's easy, it's free. You cannot beat free," Donahoe said.
Seven out of 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the postal service to reduce costs, but people we talked with aren't thrilled about the reduction in services.
"It would definitely affect me. It would mean some of my bills wouldn't come in at the same time. No, I wouldn't like it at all," said Darlene Fisher, of Gaines.
"Yes, we'll have to plan ahead and plan around it knowing that in time past, it was taken for granted, now it's taken away," said Jerry Givens, of Grand Blanc.
The post office says employee attrition and retirements will reduce the need for layoffs.
"We're predicting we will be able to reduce about 54 million work hours making these changes," Donahoe said.
Some postal customers say they don't like the idea of people losing jobs over this.
"We don't need that anymore," Fisher said.
Postal workers affected by the reductions will have the next six months to prepare for changes.
The reduction needs the approval of Congress. The post office says by giving a six-month notice, it hopes Congress will have enough time to say yes to the plan.

The Herald Bulletin
Completing a pass in the NFL is a complicated process. The essential chemistry between the quarterback and his wide receivers begins taking shape with organized team activities in the spring and is honed through the heat of training camp in the heart of summer.
It often takes months to get everybody on the same page and fine-tune the engines to a point where the offense can execute seamlessly on Sundays.
After veteran Reggie Wayne went down with a season-ending injury Oct. 20 against the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck had to start the process all over again. There were fits and starts along the way, but everything finally seems to be coming together.
Something clicked during the second half in Cincinnati, six weeks after Wayne's departure from the lineup. And Luck's been heating up since.
He has six touchdowns and just one interception in the past two weeks — including five to wide receivers LaVon Brazill, Da'Rick Rogers and Griff Whalen, each of whom has spent at least a portion of the season off the active roster.
"That chemistry and continuity and all those things, that's starting," head coach Chuck Pagano said, noting the connection his second-year quarterback is beginning to make with the young receivers. "Obviously, you saw it at Cincinnati, and it will only get better as we progress."
The process got something of a jump start last week against the Houston Texans, when the Colts (9-5) opened the game with a no-huddle offense. A unit that had converted just five third-down conversions in the first halves of its previous six games went three-for-three on the opening drive. The result was an 11-play, 80-yard march that ended with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Whalen — Luck's former roommate at Stanford.
Indianapolis offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton said a number of factors — including the absence of fullback Stanley Havili — contributed to the decision to force the tempo early against Houston. But he hesitated when asked whether the Colts might repeat the tactic today amidst the epic crowd noise in Kansas City (11-3).
"It was great to start the game that way with 11 plays and finish with the touchdown," Hamilton said. "But we're going to do whatever it is that we feel is necessary to move the football. And being on the road factors into it, just being able to communicate."
Almost to a man, the offensive players praised the decision to pick up the pace. But Luck seemed more concerned with the overall execution.
Indianapolis put 20 points on the board in the first two quarters, just four less than the combined first-half total of the previous six weeks. But the Colts still left points on the field, kicking field goals on two drives that began in Texans' territory.
True to form, Luck is more concerned with ironing out the remaining kinks in his attack than with discussing the speed at which the offense is moving.
"No matter what tempo we're going at or what personnel is in the game, we know if we can execute we have a good chance of making positive plays," he said. "We do practice the no-huddle stuff, whether it's two-minute drills, guys have a lot of experience at it. It worked. I think any tempo, any personnel, any situation, if we execute we have a good chance."
With Luck playing the way he has in the past two weeks, the chances get even better.
He's spreading the football around, completing passes to 10 different receivers in the past two weeks, and he's not afraid to get out of the pocket when necessary. Luck rushed twice for 32 yards against the Bengals and five times for 29 yards against Houston.
For the season, he's rushed for a first down 24 times on 31 third-down carries. That's a conversion rate of 77.4 percent, and it adds another element to the Colts' offense.
"Powerful, powerful, powerful," Kansas City coach Andy Reid said of the 6-foot-4, 234-pounder's running style. "He's big and he's fast and he's powerful. People don't realize how big of a man he is, how strong he is."
Luck laughs off that type of praise, noting Indianapolis pays him to get the ball into the hands of athletes who can really run.
The only number that really seems to interest the rising star is wins. With two more of them, Indianapolis has a chance to leap frog Cincinnati and the New England Patriots and claim a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.
"Guys have always played hard and practiced well," Luck said. "Coach Pagano has set a great work environment and I think sort of ethos for the team. We understand there are some good possibilities left."
