MADISON (WKOW) -- Mayor Paul Soglin announced the implementation of the city's open data policy on Tuesday.
The open data concept makes information created and used by government employees, like license applications or building permits, available to the public.
It's meant to be a tool for Madison's tech community to provide that data which can then be used to create applications for smartphones, tablets or the web.
"It provides opportunity for people who think and who create to look at this resource and to figure out how they can make the lives of Madisonians better," said Soglin during Tuesday's presentation.
Madison is the first city in the state and only the second in the nation to pass an open data ordinance.

Valdosta - Will Shelton is learning about the dangers of alcohol.
"I've learned that it's really hard to operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and I definitely don't want to do it," said Shelton.
From breathalyzer tests to law enforcement lectures and simulated drunk driving activities, VSU students are feeling the heat from the consequences their actions can bring.
"The law enforcement around here really takes it serious and I don't want to drink and drive and then end up in jail," said Ryan Carpenter, College Freshman.
Amazingly, 50% of all fatal accidents in Georgia are alcohol related.
"Every weekend eight out of ten people on the roads will be impaired drivers," said Jamie Sullivan, Georgia State Patrol.
But thanks to awareness fairs like the one at VSU, people will be more informed of the dangers alcohol can pose, and help reduce those deadly statistics.

A better look at Christopher Eccleston's villain in "Thor: The Dark World" emerged today. Both a new bit of banner art, and a video clip focused on the character, have gone online.
In the comics and film, the character of Malekith the Accursed is the ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim. The forces of Asgard must confront this dark army following the destruction of the Bifrost at the end of the first "Thor".
The clip is likely from early in the film as the banner above, and other stills, have showcased the character sporting a heavily scarred visage:

Compare GPA, SAT and ACT Data for Other Illinois Colleges: Augustana | DePaul | Illinois College | IIT | Illinois Wesleyan | Knox | Lake Forest | Loyola | Northwestern | University of Chicago | UIUC | Wheaton
The University of Chicago is one of the top-rated private universities in the country. With an acceptance rate around 20%, the university sends out far more rejection letters than acceptances. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. As you can see, students who are admitted to Chicago tend to have an A- or higher GPA, SAT scores of 2000 or higher, and an ACT composite score of 28 or higher. The higher the numbers, the better your chance of admission.
Note that there's a lot of red hidden behind the green and blue -- many students with grades and test scores that were on target for Chicago still got rejected. Note also that a few students were accepted with test scores and grades below the norm. This is because the University of Chicago has holistic admissions -- the admissions officers are evaluating students based on more than numerical data. A rigorous high school curriculum, winning essay, and interesting extracurricular activities all contribute to a successful application.

Can someone explain how Shanahan can justify how many games he's suspending players for?
I don't get it. I thought they seemed slightly random before but the latest two takes the biscuit.
Bourque gets a boarding call on Seabrook. He gets a major and a misconduct in the game. Seabrook left the game but is apparently not injured. Bourque has not been disciplined before. 2 game suspension.
Lucic gets a boarding call on Rinaldo. He gets a major and a misconduct in the game. Rinaldo was not injured. Lucic has been warned, fined and suspended before. 1 game suspension.
Both decisions handed out on the same day.
How does that make any sense?
The message he's sending is that Leino's accidental elbow on Read is as bad an offense as blatantly boarding a player if you're Lucic, but not if you're Bourque? Also ignoring the fact Leino and Bourque haven't been disciplined while Lucic has?

I've said on a post before that we need to consider the last two years a "wash" in Washington. We were coached by Jim Zorn for crying out loud. Now, I know a lot of you think "Jim Zorn's a nice guy", to which I will agree. But "nice guys" finish last, and surely, that's where we
are were. Yes, we can blame Snyder for selecting him as an Offensive Coordinator. We can even stomp the gates of FedEx field for Snyder making Zorn the Head Coach. But Zorn wasn't that nice of a guy to turn down money. No, no, no. Zorn was just like every other Free Agent that came through Washington looking for a paycheck, except he didn't have the "big name" associated with it.
I've read countless blogs comments discussing the disarray of the Redskins, especially offensively, and I don't see much acknowledgement of Zorn's part in all of this. Why isn't he to blame for accepting a job that he KNEW he was well over his head with??? That's like offering me a job as a neurosurgeon, and I've never held a scalpel in my life. But I take the job anyway, because it pays six figures and I get to tell all my friends I'm a doctor. Never mindthe countless jobs I've cost or the lives I've ruined, I'm getting paid.
Yes, Zorn is as much responsible as anyone for this two year embarrassment. The first thing he did, was try to establish "his own version" of the West Coast offense. An offense that has NEVER been seen. NEVER been used. Every play ran through him, with no audible rights given. Sure, it worked in his first eight games, but any real team adjusts. It was only a matter of time, before coaching staffs in the league watched enough game film on "his version" of the West Coast offense, before they shut it down. So what would a REAL coach do when that happens??? Adjust like the rest of them. Problem was, he made no adjustments, made no changes in his schemes, and when the injuries started to pile, he thought he could just plug in another player and walla, problem solved. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting different results (not the actual Webster's definition, but don't be a wise @ss...)
And every week, it was the same speech after another losing effort. "We're going to go back and look at the tape". For what??? I would have had much more respect for him if he got up in front of the media and said, "Guys, I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing". No, Zorn's not scottfree...
Coaches coach to the strength of their players. Players play to the strength of their coach. So for every play you saw Portis take off, a part of that goes on Zorn. Every pass that you thought that Campbell should have made, a part of that goes on Zorn. For every play that was called that made you want to throw something at the screen, a HUGE part of that goes on Zorn. Coaches demand respect and make the team play to their highest potential. And when you're a player that's playing for someone who hadn't called a play in the NFL before, how much respect did you think that locker room had?
And some would say, "Players still have to play". No they don't. Not in Washington. All they had to do was make enough noise to get a paycheck. I've worked for idiots before, and trust me, there's NOTHING that motivates you to come into work when you're working for one. Let's stop pointing blame to a QB, to a RB, to a WR, and recognize that they ALL were an incompetent bunch, because they followed behind an Incompetent Coach.
The blind lead the blind and they both fall into a ditch...
Time to dig ourselves out.

As you are all aware by now, a potential snow storm is setting up for Tuesday evening and Tuesday night. But these snow storms are extremely tough to predict the key parts of them; where will it fly and how much will you get… especially in the fall and spring months. It takes nearly perfect atmospheric conditions for a snowstorm to occur which is the big reason why these don't happen on a daily basis. There are always many variables working against it; will the atmosphere be cold enough, is there enough moisture, is there "just enough" dry air to help with evaporative cooling, when will the rain switch to snow, how intense will it be, what will the snow to liquid ratio be of the snow that does fall…. I could go on. A couple of those variables, you were probably like "what?" Exactly…. There are many pieces to this puzzle that cannot be seen ahead of time which is ultimately why it can be hard to determine whether your location will get 8 inches or will it get 1. We will dive into all of the variables listed above at some point in the next few weeks on this weather page, so check back, but right now I want to show you just a glimpse at what we are dealing with.
So, as you all probably know, we use computer forecasting models to interpret what's going to happen in the days ahead. Well many of them give us an output of how much snow it thinks is going to happen. Then we have to interpret why it thinks that and ultimately decide a probable outcome based on what we see… there is a lot of experience and past events that go into decision making. So here are 4 different computer models including our very own in house computer model. You can see the amounts key on either the top or bottom of the first three.
Band of 5 to 10 inches with anywhere from an inch or two in the northwest metro to upwards of 7 in the southeast metro.
Much lighter amounts of snow with a band of 1 to 3 inches with the metro generally around 2 inches. Notice the band width is quite a bit wider than the first.
This puts most of the heavier stuff just to our southwest in South Dakota and Nebraska giving the state 1 to 4 inches but keeps the snow out of the northwest metro and gives the rest of the metro generally an inch or two.
Here is our in house model showing a band of 1 to 4 inches statewide and also metro wide depending on your location. This time, the heaviest snow is in the northwest metro versus the southeast metro.
So you see now why this is hard??? Most of the models are showing lighter amounts of snow, but that's only because they are ever so slightly warmer than the first one, which would keep us in the rain longer before switching to snow. The model that gives us a band of 5 to 10 inches is "typically" a little heavy on its precipitation, meaning its "likely" on the high side of the totals. But what if this is the one time it gets it right? That's what we have to weigh. Either way, it does look pretty good for at least some accumulating snow Tuesday evening into Tuesday night, but just how much…. Well you can see why that's a tough call. IF enough cold air can arrive quickly enough, then we may be dealing with quite a bit, but if it holds off, even a few hours, then very little may end up falling. We will keep you updated on our thoughts as it moves through and will just have to wait and see!

He was shot at and his car was stolen. Now the Texas Tech Sophomore speaks out. Police arrested 18-year-old Adam Soto Wednesday afternoon. Soon after Soto's arrest, detectives also took 18-year-old Matthew Gonzales along with 19-year-old Andrew Ramirez into custody. Police charged all three of them with attempted capital murder for a carjacking and shooting in the 4800 block of Kemper Street back in July.
All three teenage suspects are now behind bars at the Lubbock County Jail each on a $250,000 bond. Police allege more than three months ago they took part in a carjacking and shooting, which put 20-year-old Donald Adkins in the hospital.
It's been just over three months since that terrible summer night. However, 20-year old Adkins still walks with small painful reminders.
"The neck and the chest, like all over my chest. I have bullets in my gums. Police responded here to the 4600 block of Kemper Street near Centennial Elementary School just before 1 a.m. on the morning of July 18.
"They shot through the windshield and it kinda hit me and sprayed me and I got out of the car and ran," Adkins said. Adkins tells NewsChannel 11, he ran to his girlfriend's car, fled the scene and went to the hospital. Police say the suspects stole Adkins car. The same car, Adkins says the couple was chatting in when a red truck with several Hispanic males rolled by.
"Basically they demanded what I had. And I guess I kinda got down to put the car in reverse and I guess they thought I might have been reaching for a gun," Adkins said.
Adkins was shot several times with pellets from a shotgun. Detective Rey Martinez with the Lubbock Police Department has investigated the case for the last several months.
"One of the Hispanic males in the back of the truck was holding a shot gun and pointing it at the victim," Martinez said.
Police recovered Adkins' 1980 burnt orange Pontiac Bonneville in the alley behind the Tech Inn just a day after the shooting. Adkins says it had been stripped of nearly everything, including the chrome wheels. However, about a month and a half ago detectives located the wheels.
"At a local tire shop, they were on display for sale," Martinez said.
Martinez says this is a drug related crime. However, it is not because of Adkins' involvement in the illegal world.
"Drug users committing crimes to buy drugs or to get property or money to trade for drugs, and then it becomes drug related," Martinez said.
"I guess it was just kinda being at the wrong place at the wrong time, because it was not drug related. I didn't owe them any money," Adkins said.
NewsChannel 11 was told a juvenile is also expected to be arrested in this case. But the investigation doesn't end there. Martinez says the suspects are connected to other shootings, robberies, home invasions, car burglaries and home burglaries across the Hub city. He tells more charges are likely to follow.

You know those buffets that seem to have been set up just for you? The ones with a little bit of everything you love? The ones with chicken strips, nachos, mashed potatoes, potato wedges, mac and cheese, pickle spears, olives, pizza, and burgers? (I admit, I have the palate of an eight year old) The ones where you pile your plate sixteen inches high and push it back to your table with a dolly? And only after you tear through the first five chicken strips, three pickle spears, and half of the mashed potatoes do you realize, holy god, how am I going to finish this? You look over and see the old guy at the next table shaking his head and mumbling something about this wasteful generation--or maybe he's just upset because his jello wasn't jiggly enough. You begin to panic. You wanted it all, but have barely made a dent. Those poor potato wedges...how are you going to make room for them? Then a calm hits you; a sweet and all-encompassing calm as you realize that all is going to be just fine. Why? Because you've yet to burp.
This is precisely where Albert is in the 2009 season. He started off fast. Fast even for Albert. Fast. And now all he has to do is catch his breath. The man had 87 rbis, 32 bombs and a .332 batting average at the All-Star break (better than most of the top players, not Nationals, do in a season). And even that wasn't much of a break for him. He helped host the game, participated in the home run derby, signed autographs, probably planted trees, hell, even the Leader of the Free World wanted to throw him a pitch (which was low...I'm just saying...I voted for you, but when you're throwing out the first pitch to, arguably, the only man more famous than yourself, you spend your evenings loosening up in the rose garden). Then he came back with a multi-home run game his first series back? Hey. Stop. Take a minute. Grab some gatorade. It's okay, it's the yellow stuff over there in the cooler. Yes, it's legal. It's fine. What's that? You didn't know there was a bench in the dugout? Yeah, that's where everyone else cools off between innings. You should try it out. No, you just squat down until your--yeah, like that. See? Isn't that nice?
The point is, there's nothing to worry about. This is the guy who gets the video game three weeks before anybody on the block has even heard about it, learns all the moves late at night in his basement, then invites you over and destroys you while you're still trying to figure out where the start button is. Only he's doing it against Major League pitching, not the scrappy red-head from down the street. He's making Roy Oswalt, Zack Greinke, Ben Sheets, Johan Santana, Zach Duke, Jake Peavy, Randy Johnson, and Tim Lincecum look like batting tees. Seriously...do youself a favor and look up his lifetime numbers against Johnson (during which time Johnson won 2 Cy Youngs).
He just needed a minute to take a deep breath, cover his mouth and let out some of the first half. He's going to dig right back in before this series is over, and I guarantee he'll have room for dessert. Then the owner of the restaurant will come out and hand him a crown with three perfectly marvelous jewels...No, he's not eating at Burger King....

Dear Jesse
Executive Vice President and Provost Tom Sullivan asked that our office respond to your concerns about the email you received from him regarding possible strike issues. The purpose of the email was to be as informative as possible with respect to both the legal obligations and University expectations of all those with teaching responsibilities.
The Public Employment Labor Relations Act (PELRA) explicitly requires non-striking University of Minnesota employees to report to work in the event of a strike by another union. In addition, under PELRA, non-striking University employees who refuse to report to work as directed, are absent from any portion of their work assignment without permission, or who abstain wholly or in part from the full performance of their duties, are considered to be engaged in an illegal sympathy strike and are subject to discipline. The reasons for requiring classes to be held on campus, and the University's expectations in that regard, are set forth in the email you received, and we expect those University employees with teaching responsibilities to carry them out as assigned.
We certainly appreciate your and others' desire to be supportive of the striking employees. However, you must do so consistent with your University obligations. The two are not mutually exclusive. We encourage you to explore other ways in which you can lend your support to the strikers while fulfilling your assigned teaching obligations.

To which I sent the following reply:
This is an interesting stance that the University has taken, but it is both morally reprehensible and legally questionable. While I'm well familiar with PELRA, it in no way applies to the current situation.
By taking classes off-campus we are not striking. A strike would be a refusal to work, e.g. not holding class. We are instead following our legal right to not cross a legally recognized picket line. It is actually the University who would be in violation of PELRA by disciplining faculty and staff who refuse to cross a legal picket line.
Furthermore, there has been no explanation of why this rule has not been enforced before. If there is something about the University course that it must be taught on-campus at all times, why have not the many faculty who have previously taken classes off-campus been disciplined? I have personally had multiple professors hold classes off-campus for a variety of reasons, but nothing ever happened and they most certainly did not receieve thinly veiled threats from the Provost.
It is incredibly humorous that the University officials paint themselves as the ones operating in the parameter of the law when you are implying that you will fire anyone who practices their completely legal right to not cross a legally recognized picket line.
If I were you folks, I'd start worrying about counter legal action, because there are far more people than me who are upset about the University illegally trying to pressure us into crossing picket lines.
Or, you know, you could develop a heart or even the most basic level of human compassion and simply pay these people a living wage. Either one is fine by me.
Jesse Wozniak
I know it will not amount to anything (or even be read by anyone), but I figure if they can threaten us for no reason, well, the least I can do is threaten them right back.
But as always, for more info, be sure to check out uworkers.org for updates.
Also, if you can spare it, be sure to donate to the strike fund. The union doesn't have a pre-existing strike fund for its workers, so many of these folks are going on strike knowing full well that they may not be getting a paycheck for sometime now. The least you can do is chip in a few bucks and help out, ain't it?

More Efficient and Effective Government:
Opportunities to Reduce Duplication, Overlap and Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance Revenue

What GAO Found
We identified 51 areas in our 2012 annual report, including 32 areas of potential duplication, overlap, or fragmentation as well as 19 opportunities for agencies or Congress to consider taking action that could either reduce the cost of government operations or enhance revenue collections for the Treasury. These areas involve a wide range of government missions including agriculture, defense, economic development, education, energy, general government, health, homeland security, international affairs, science and the environment, and social services. Within and across these missions, the 2012 annual report touches on virtually all major federal departments and agencies. We expanded the scope of our work for this years report to focus on areas where a mix of federal approaches is used, such as tax expenditures, direct spending, and federal grant or loan programs.
In our 2011 follow-up report, we assessed the extent to which Congress and the executive branch addressed the 81 areasincluding a total of 176 actionsto reduce or eliminate unnecessary duplication, overlap, or fragmentation or achieve other potential financial benefits. As of February 10, 2012, Congress and the executive branch have made some progress in addressing the majority of the 81 areas we identified; however, additional steps are needed to fully implement the remaining actions. Specifically, our assessment found that all actions had been addressed in 4 areas, partially addressed in 60 areas, and not addressed in 17 areas. In addition, OMB has instructed agencies to consider areas of duplication or overlap identified in our 2011 report and by others in their fiscal year 2013 budget submissions and management plans. The OMB guidance also advised agencies to take a number of other steps to enhance efficiency, such as identifying and including in their budget submissions cost-saving efforts that will improve operational efficiency and taxpayers rate of return, including program integration, reorganizations within and between agency components, and resource realignment to improve public services.
Under requirements established by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act). OMB is also required to coordinate with agencies to establish outcome-oriented goals covering a limited number of crosscutting policy areas as well as goals to improve management across the federal government, and develop a governmentwide performance plan for making progress toward achieving those goals. The Presidents budget for 2013 includes 14 such crosscutting policy goals. Aspects of several of these goalsincluding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education, Entrepreneurship and Small Businesses, Job Training, Cybersecurity, Information Technology Management, Procurement and Acquisition Management, and Real Property Managementare discussed in our March 2011 and February 2012 reports. The Acts requirements provide a much needed basis for more fully integrating a wide array of potentially duplicative, overlapping, or fragmented federal activities as well as a cohesive perspective on the long-term goals of the federal government focused on priority policy areas.
Opportunities exist for the Congress and federal agencies to continue to address the needed actions identified in our March 2011 and February 2012 reports. Collectively, these reports show that, if the actions are implemented, the government could potentially save tens of billions of dollars annually. Cost savings related to reducing or eliminating duplication, overlap, and fragmentation can be difficult to estimate because the portion of agency budgets devoted to certain programs or activities is often unclear, or needed information on program performance or costs is not readily available. In some cases, there is sufficient information to estimate potential savings or other benefits if actions are taken to address individual issues. In other cases, estimates of cost savings or other benefits would depend upon what congressional and executive branch decisions were made, including how certain of our recommendations are implemented. Nevertheless, considering the amount of program dollars involved in the issues we have identified, even limited adjustments could result in significant savings. Additionally, we have found that agencies can often realize other kinds of benefits, such as improved customer service and decreased administrative burdens.

One week down in this offseason and the World Series just finished today. Congrats to my 3rd Favorite Team the Giants. Their GM was the one fleeced by Ryan in the Liriano / Nathan trade so its interesting to see how he has bounced back and won two WS while the Twins went in the other direction. In my mind this team is a blueprint for the Twins. With a reasonable payroll of only 120+ Million, they kept their own players, and filled gaps with revenue derived from one of the best stadiums in all of baseball. They made mistakes like Zito but mitigated those mistakes with player development, smart Free Agent signings and spending big when they had to.
Now that the offseason can officially begin, we have learned that Ryan expects to get three starting pitchers from this free agent class. I will leave the speculation of who that might be to others but the big league team needs pitching and only Kyle Gibson has shown the talent to become an impact arm in 2013. If they do bring in three new guys, its stands to reason that Gibson would have a chance to grab the finial starting spot out of spring.
This week In the Arizona Fall league we learned Herrmann is out with an injury so Dan Rohlfing was called into his place. Rohfing is another "happy to be there guy" but it will be interesting to see what he can do to showcase his talent. he was a 14th round pick out of High School in 2007. After 5 years he made it to AA and looks to be role of organizational catcher. So its a nice reward for him for sticking with it for so long. Also he is only 24 so he does have a chance to evolve into a role player if he is opportunistic with his chances. The injury is a bummer as Herrmann had been playing well with a 1.18 OPS and out hitting vaunted Mariner prospect Mike Zunnino. However Herrmann only played a few games so we can't look too much into those stats. I think this injury ruins any chance that he wins a MLB spot out of spring in 2013. Unless injuries take their toll its sweet Drew as the 3rd catcher (who is playing in the Dominican league now and doing OK)
Oswaldo Arcia is looking like he is finally making contact as he connected for his first HR over the week. He started out pretty terrible so his stats still look poor but what's nice about his HR is it came against a LH. Arcia needs to start showing that he can hit LH pitching so this is a big hit, hope it continues. Nate Roberts is still dominating the AFL. He is not hitting any HR's but keeps hitting singles and getting walks. He has an unreal .647 OBP going right now and hitting .552 with a 1.29 OPS. I still don't think he has a chance to play as an MLB regular based on his regular season stats, but what he is doing now is pretty fun.
This week we saw the first appearance of one of the young twins pitchers I am watching named Yorman Landa. The 18 year old pitched out of the GCL last year and did very well. Now he is getting his first taste in the Venezuelan leagues and he is doing pretty poor. From what I can tell via google translate he hit a guy in the hand and broke some team prospect's wrist, he was pulled after 3 IP in his first start. He started again on Saturday and got only 1 out Walking 3 and giving up 1 hit. Not a good start. However keep in mind he is facing guys who are probably 6-8 years older than him so just the fact he is out there is interesting to me. The fact they are starting him is also interesting because this is not a developmental league. They are down there to win so someone on the coaching staff must think he has talent. Too bad he has not rewarded that faith they showed in him. The Venezuelan ended the regular season with a 2.43 ERA, 20 BB with 27 SO, and opponents hit .204 against him in the GCL. I expect him to be a contributor to E-Town in 2013 as a 19 year old.
Since I am talking about young GCL pitchers, I thought I would mention again my favorite, Randy Rosario. Not to be confused with the "other" Rosario, Randy is a 18 year old pitcher out of the Dominican who hasn't given up a HR for the Twins during his Career with a 1.64 ERA, 38 IP, 19 BB and 42 SO with a killer GB rate. I keep checking the Dominican league in the hopes he makes an appearance but so far nothing. I fear I will have to wait for E-town to get started in June before I can start seeing fresh data from him. Landa and Rosario are two guys for Twins fans to watch to find glimmers of hope in the short season rookie leagues and part of what makes prospect watching fun.
One low Minors guys who is looking to graduate to full season low A starter is Angel Mata. He continues his nice run working out of the Bullpen in the Venezuelan league. 11 SO to 3 Walks in 8 IP. He is impressing me against competition probably at or near the AA level and his performance bodes well for next year's Cedar Rapids Rotation. The Kernals should see an interesting slew of pitchers next year. With many of the 2012 guys like Bard, Burris and Baxendale getting a shot to start but with Berrios and Mata in my mind locks to be starters in the rotation. A lot is riding on that crop of pitchers hopefully good things can happen and injuries can be avoided.
My Darkhorse to pitch for the Twins in 2013 is David Bromberg and he did nothing to validate my hope in him. He got another start and pitched 5.1 Innings, gave up 8 hits 2 runs and 4 walks. Bromberg still holds a very respectable 2.04 ERA but opponents are hitting .284 against him and he needs to do better. Unless he can get more SO and limit base runners he is looking like a AAA pitcher and nothing more.
Some other performances with a 2013 MLB impact: Anthony Slama is pitching well in the Mexican league. Deolis Guerra is off to a shaky start. Butera as mentioned above is doing OK. Starting SS Florimon is not hitting at all with utility man Escobar also not hitting well. Their performances make me wonder if Alexi is coming back next year. Aaron Hicks seems to have hit a slump. After his hot start he is struggling at the plate. He had 4 days off from Oct 20 – 25th. Since then he has 1 Hit in 4 games. It early but most prospect watchers are hoping for consistency from Hicks and so far he is not showing it.
Here are some links I found this week:

There is a picture of Evan Bigley's autograph which is very elaborate, especially for such a marginal player. He must have spent a lot of time perfecting that on the long bus trips. With that signature, it'll be a shame if he doesn't make it to the big leagues.

Yet there was no consideration given to asking for minor concessions when the new contract was rushed through a few months ago. A four percent salery roll back would have saved all jobs and programs. Suspending step and collumn raises would save one and a half million dollars per year. TWO special elections (one pending) equals over a half a million dollars, with a high probability of zero return. Addressing the underfunded pensions? Well, let's just kick it down the road and hope for the best, eh?
Real leadership requires honestly negociating without conflict of interest and recognizing that goverment services must expand and sometimes contract with available revenue. You can't continue to hand out raises and unrealistic pensions when the well is clearly dry. Yet that's what continues to happen.

The next meeting of the negotiating teams from APT and the district is March 10. There is still the possibility of concessions.
It's also very important to realize that the board and the district have no influence over teacher or staff pensions. The rules about CalSTRS are made at the state level -- objections about those issues should be directed to your state assembly representative or your state senator.
All the scientific polling conducted so far indicates a high probability of passage for measure E.

Mike Watson
Ever wonder about chance encounters, random acts that happen at just the right moment, or why some things just seem to work out? As a child those mysteries captivated me, and those experiences are why I began innovating and creating as a means of problem solving. The excitement and energy these seemingly unconnected acts generated are positive opportunities to push boundaries, and realize possibilities. It explains my passion for a variety of subjects and my love of the question WHY. It is why I am a convener of people and ideas, to connect the unconnected.

So a week or two a go a couple of us were talking in a gameday thread about meeting up at a pizza joint for a game. I've taken it upon myself to create a FanPost to see who all is interested and what people's thoughts are on when and where we should do it.
I think the conversation started with us thinking about High Five Pizza, but there are other options as well. They definitely have some big screen TVs to watch the game on, which is going to be important wherever we go. Other places that got tossed around I think were Round Table, Mountain Mike's, Pizza Chicago, and Amici's. Those last 2 I'm not so sure would be great places to watch the game. And if anyone else has suggestions, then please go ahead and mention them in the thread. This is more to get a feel for what everyone is interested in.
Also, there is the question of when to do it. Personally, I think we should do it for an away game so that people who go to the home games don't have to miss out. We have 4 more away games coming up: Thursday, March 24th at 7:30 against LA, Saturday, March 26th at 6:00 against Phoenix, Wednesday, April 6th at 7:00 against Anaheim, and Friday April 8th at 7:00 against Phoenix. I think the best option is April 8th against Phoenix, our last away game of the year and second to last game of the year. It's on a Friday at 7:00 and gives us plenty of time to prepare.
However, if anyone has any preferences please discuss them, I'm just trying to maximize the number of people that can come. Also, if anyone has any other ideas or suggestions on how we can make it better or anything else we can do, please share them as well.

The oak-tree coat of arms of the former town of Ekenäs (Tammisaari in Finnish, but it is a predominantly Swedish-speaking area) in a removals box. Ekenäs, Karis (Karjaa in Finnish), and the municipality of Pohja were merged in the summer of 2007 to become Raseborg (Raasepori). Many more such heraldic devices would be consigned to history under the planned municipal reforms, which are causing political divisions and have also prompted worry among those in communities likely to be swallowed up by larger neighbours.

On the surface, Movistar has had a very nice lead up to the Tour. 26 year old Rui Costa notched his first major stage race win (first of several probably), Alejandro Valverde looked quite fit in a super domestique role and teeny tiny 22 year old Nairo Quintana won the Route Du Sud. Any team would have loved to have such a nice lead-up. But looking closer perhaps this team will be more competitive the next couple of years and should look at this year's race as a big tune-up.
Here's the Movistar Tour lineup:
- Alejandro Valverde
- JJ Cobo
- Imanol Ervitti
- Rui Costa
- Jose Ivan Gutierrez
- Vlad Karpets
- Vasil Kiryienka
- Ruben Plaza
- JJ Rojas

We arrived at the port a little early around 10:30, so when we finished checking our luggage and getting checked in (which went pretty smooth), we did have to wait about an hour to actually board the ship around noon, must have had some stragglers getting off the previous cruise.
Once on board we made our way to the Lido and found the buffet, usual buffet fare, it was ok. About an hour later our room was ready (1:30) and surprisingly our luggage arrived a few minutes later! So I went ahead and unpacked to get it over with and headed out to see what was going on around the ship. We explored for awhile and got ready to see the ship off before getting ready for dinner, when the ship didn't leave at the usual time around 4:30, we assumed maybe they were waiting on late arrivals or something, but soon found out there were mechanical problems with the propulsion system and they were working to get it going, so we got ready and went to dinner.......kinda weird having dinner and seeing the port of New Orleans still out of the window! There were a lot of discussion at dinner about how it would affect excursions in Progreso, there was to be a letter sent to the room the next day explaining options. Turns out they made up most of the time (we didn't leave N.O. until after 9pm) but made it to Progreso only 1 hour late! They adjusted the excursion times by 1 hour and stayed 1 hour later in Progreso so no one missed out, couldn't believe it! Way to go, Captain!
Enjoyed more of the ship on the last couple of nights and loved all the crew that took care of us along the way! If you have a chance visit the California wine Bar and chat with Lucia, she is awesome, we did the Mini Martini tasting, tried all 8 flavors, it was great!
Other favorites were Karaoke in the Club Rio, Cruise Director "Tex", Pizza at crazy hours of the night (liked the Caesar salad too), ice cream cones on Lido while watching movies on the big screen outside! Really enjoyed the Fun Farewell party on the last night, maybe a little too much ;) (free drinks!)
Loved dinner in the Main dining room each night, great service and great food, never a complaint from us, it was all great!
So to sum it up, we had a great time and enjoyed all the Triumph had to offer, met and talked to the Captain Angelo Los, and CD "Tex", two very nice people!


text: Gambling isnt allowed on this board. Lets face it without football it seems the only other sport being talked about is basketball. there are maybe two people on this board who will talk about Lax and softball and I am one of them.Notice there is almost no talk at all about our spring sports. Why is that? BB season is over for both the men and women. Both programs have a lot of work to do. All this speculation is moot until they begin playing for real next winter.


text: Heritage Kayaks designed its new RedFish model for ? you guessed it, redfishing. Of course, the trout, snook and stripers won't know the difference. Point is: This 14-foot 'yak has all the fishing amenities, including a bow storage hatch to keep tackle within easy reach and a stern tank to hold a bait bucket or cooler. The vessel weighs 66 pounds and also features two recessed rod holders, a paddle leash, padded backrest and four additional cockpit drain plugs. How does it paddle? Take it from editor in chief Doug Olander, who recently test-fished the RedFish. "I found that it paddles easily, and, with the water getting pretty cold, I appreciated the tight-fitting, rubber scupper plugs in the cockpit, enabling me to sit nice and dry as I fished. Also, I liked the two flush-mounted rod holders, well positioned to be within easy reach." Retail price is $749. Call 401-253-3408 or visit
