Good Housekeeping (.com) did a nice little piece on how to clean your water bottle. They offer solutions like buying a bottle brush or cleaning tablets...and then they highlight ALEX as the innovative bottle that doesn't require either of those options. We don't think you should have to have a brush at your sink JUST for your water bottle, and we definitely don't think you should spend money on a cleaning tablet just because you want a bacteria free bottle. We think your bottle should be smart enough that you can actually clean it without extra props. With ALEX, you buy the bottle and that's it. So simple, right?

2012 BEST House Cleaner
The Maids Home Services
The Maids didn't so much clean our apartment as unleash a hellfire of spic-and-span. Wearing vacuums on their backs and armed with motorized bottles (seriously), the housecleaners left no corner, crack, or crevice undusted, unscrubbed, or unwashed. They even tackled that war zone underneath the couch cushions.

5 Tips to Curb Holiday Travel Costs
Posted By Jeff Yeager On November 18, 2013 @ 5:03 pm In Money Talk | No Comments
[1]Holiday travel these days is a Santa-sized hassle and it can be a real budget buster [2]as well.
To curb your travel expenses, consider these tips:
Leave your wheels parked at home. Since most rental cars nowadays come with competitive rates and unlimited free miles, it may pay to rent a car — and prolong the life expectancy of your own wheels. You might also be able to save on gas [3]costs by renting a more fuel efficient car than the one you drive. Also, many auto insurance policies provide coverage when you drive a rental vehicle. Buying additional — and expensive — coverage from the rental car company is often unnecessary. Check your policy or call your insurance agent to make sure you're covered.
Check for cyber deals. Cyber Monday (Dec. 12 this year) is the day when online retailers offer their holiday deals, similar to Black Friday [4] (Nov. 29), the big sale day for traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Airlines, hotel chains and other travel service providers often offer special deals of their own. Websites like CyberMonday.com [5], GetaTravelDeal.com [6] and CyberMondayDealsLive.com [7] include listings of some of the most popular travel deals available for purchase on that day. It also pays to check the websites of your favorite hotels and airlines on Cyber Monday for possible bargains.

Alternative accommodations. If you have a family or large group that needs lodging over the holidays, try searching on websites like Airbnb.com [9], HomeAway.com [10] and Booking.com [11], where you'll find private apartment units, guest houses and homes available for rent by their owners. Sometimes a minimum stay of two or three nights is required (or gets you a lower rate), and booking fees by the website may apply. Nonetheless, rental charges may well be below hotel rates in the same area. And you'll probably have access to a kitchen, which would save you even more because you could cook some of your own meals. If you'd prefer to pay nothing for a place to stay, check out the website TrustedHouseSitters.com [12]. This membership-based website hooks up volunteer house sitters with homeowners around the world [13]who are looking for someone to take care of their homes, and often their pets, while they're away, in exchange for a free stay.
Hop on the bus. Private bus companies that provide express service between major cities have been sprouting up across the country. Many of the original companies were started along the Eastern Seaboard and were known as "Chinatown buses," since they typically traveled between the Chinatown districts of various cities. Now national companies like Megabus and GoToBus.com [14] (a website that allows you to book on multiple, independently operated Chinatown bus services) provide service throughout much of the United States and Canada. People who haven't traveled via these bus services are usually surprised by how clean, on time, and comfortable they are (most include complimentary Wi-Fi), and by how little they charge. I recently paid $30 round-trip for a bus trip from Washington, D.C., to New York. Last time I drove to New York, it cost me more than five times that amount in gas, tolls and overnight parking.

Airfare blues. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of good news this holiday season when it comes to finding affordable airfares. According to data from the Airlines Reporting Corp., recently covered in The Wall Street Journal, airfares for Thanksgiving are up almost 10 percent from a year ago. Christmas fares are up by about 8 percent. If your schedule allows, perhaps you can find a lower-priced ticket by flying on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, when demand is usually down and fares are more reasonable. If at all possible, you should avoid flying on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and the Sunday after Christmas, which promise to be among the busiest and priciest travel days of the year.[16]

Center for Historical Studies
My first year as director of the Nathan and Jeannette Miller Center has been a real delight. I have been able to host distinguished scholars from around the world and to discuss their work and their ideas with them. At the same time, I have had the chance to interact with faculty and students in shaping our program and planning individual events. This year's theme of "Empire Revisited" proved remarkably suggestive, leading for example to a day-long undergraduate symposium planned in conjunction with two other departments and bringing together students in three campus courses with an internationally known distinguished keynote speaker.
Much of the intellectual life of our campus happens, of course, in the classroom, and the Miller Center puts special effort into providing funds and coordination to help faculty members bring guest speakers into their classes. This lets students meet, and interact directly with, those who were personally involved in great historical events. And the chance to meet and debate with an author helps students better understand and internalize the books they are reading.
If the Center's first task has been to bring scholars to the College Park campus, I have found that the Center can also make a significant contribution to the educational experience of both graduate and undergraduate students. Thus, we have hosted a regular meeting for Ph.D. candidates facing the rigors of writing a thesis, we have sponsored seminars on teaching and writing, and we have begun to explore how the Center can help improve undergraduate teaching in history under a special grant from the University. Through its prize program for undergraduate papers, the Center has recognized the excellent work done in our Department.
The Center aims also to provide an informal meeting place for faculty and students interested in history. Whether it is a group meeting to discuss a recent documentary movie about immigration into the US or a film about the philosopher Hannah Arendt, the aim always is to encourage communication and discussion of the serieous issues that shape the study of history.
I look forward to new initiatives in the 2014-15 academic year, and invite everyone to stop by and make use of the Center's programs and services.

CHICAGO Declines in new orders, inventories and employment helped drive the November manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) down 2.2 percentage points compared with the previous month, according to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).
"This months reading reflects the lowest level since July 2009," ISM manufacturing business survey committee chairman Bradley J. Holcomb said in a statement Monday.
The new orders index fell to 50.3 percent from 54.2 percent; the inventories index fell 5.0 points to 45.0 percent and the customers inventories index fell 6.5 points to 42.5 percent; and the employment index fell 3.7 points to 48.4 percent, the lowest reading since September 2009.
"The fiscal cliff is the big worry right now," said a survey respondent in the metal fabrication industry. "We will not look toward any type of expansion until this is addressed. If the program ... put in place is more taxes and big spending cutswhich will push us toward recessionforget it."
Metal producers and fabricators reported a decline in business in November compared with October. New orders and order backlogs shrank for both sectors. Fabricators had higher production rates, while metal producers saw output decline. Employment grew among metal producers but fell among fabricators.
Both sectors reported lowering their inventories and said that inventories among their customers had become too low.
Although the price index fell 2.5 points to 52.5 percent in November, aluminum and hot-rolled steel prices rose, survey respondents said. Metal producers and fabricators reported paying higher prices for raw materials.
Fabricators reported an increase in export orders last month while primary metal exports declined, but both sectors saw imports decline.
Comments by members of the Chicago chapter of the ISM were mixed. "The economy really seems to be hanging on a thread," one purchasing manager said. "I do not think that upward price movements can be sustained at a time when real growth is questionable."
Another said that a slowdown in sales is "becoming very alarming."
But one manufacturer said, "We are officially swamped and doing everything we can to get our machines out this year. Some will bleed into 2013."
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Running back traded to Colts, McGahee to join Browns Aaron Wilson
In a rare blockbuster trade, the Cleveland Browns have traded starting running back Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2014 first-round draft pick.
The Browns are bringing in veteran running back Willis McGahee for a physical and will sign him if he passes.
"Trent's a great player and we expect him to have success in this league," Browns CEO Joe Banner said. "Right now, based on how we're building this team for sustainable success, we're going to be aggressive and do what it takes to assemble a team that consistently wins."
Prior to the NFL awarding compensatory selections this spring, the trade gives the Browns 10 draft selections, including a pair of first-round selections. Cleveland previously had acquired the Steelers' third-round selection and the Colts' fourth-round choice.
McGahee is a two-time Pro Bowl selection who has four 1,000-yard rushing seasons.
Richardson was the only running back to carry the football during a 14-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, gaining 58 yards on 18 carries.
Richardson rushed for 950 yards as a rookie while dealing with broken ribs.
He was drafted third overall last year after starring at Alabama.
Brown has rushed for 1,055 yards and 11 touchdowns with 58 catches for 418 yards and one touchdown.
At Alabama, he helped the Crimson Tide win two national championships and rushed for 3,130 career yards and 35 touchdowns.

I am also getting tired of the AGG. TLT may be a better ETF to follow, but bonds were certainly strong yesterday. I'm not sure why the TSP did not pay off the F-funders.
The answer is likely on this MB somewhere. I looked at tsp.gov and couldn't answer the question. Don't have time to look more.
How does AGG show a .29% gain and the F fund share price go down .2%?
I am also getting tired of the AGG. TLT may be a better ETF to follow, but bonds were certainly strong yesterday. I'm not sure why the TSP did not pay off the F-funders.
It's called Barclay's Math.
Neither seem to be working for us. AGG is useless on a day to day basis, but it is much closer year to date than TLT. I guess I better go back to AGG as the lesser of two evils.
TSP posts daily prices. Why follow AGG?
AGG and F are two different funds. There is no reason that they should give the same return on a daily basis. They both follow the same index, so over the long term they should have similar returns. But not day to day.
The C and S funds have been figured out. The I-fund can be as well, although with fair value it can be tricky at times. So why not look for something to help with the last fund, the F fund? The AGG has been about the closests we've found, unfortunately.
The TSPLookup utility has done pretty good as well, but not everyone can run this at work.
Didn't know that a bond fund paid dividends ?
I just noticed that BND may be tracking our F fund better than AGG. This was apparent on Friday.

(Source: dictionary.com)
Letting other people dictate my actions has truly gotten out of hand! These people feed off of my energy, my spirt , my drive to remain a positive person. I'm far from innocent and I often make mistakes. What I don't need is people that act like I'm important to them.
What's my favorite color?
What's my middle name? How old am I? When is my birthday? Do I have tattoos? If so, how many and where?
These people are ugly on the inside and could care less about my well being. They rather see me suffer along with becoming my necessity Therefore making them grow and feel better about themselves while I just dwindle into darkness
It's the little things that matter…..
I get lost often but, I know I'll find my way back eventually. Anybody can guide you…what happens if people let go mid way or right at the finish line??? Who's to say you don't stray away
I have the ugliest toes! I mean they aren't the worst but, toes aren't the most attractive part of the body. I realize exactly why I take soooo long to redo them. They are hidious!
All I do is scrub, scrub, scrub to get the Polish off and I'm like
GEEZ, this is taking forever!
I'm not the skinniest to bend over while laying down in the most comfortably uncomfortable position because I'm in my period!
It hurts! The cramps! Oh man!
What color am I wearing again?
I get so distracted! Smh
Another day or two goes by and someone wants to come over. Oh shytt, they are gonna see your toes! He's gonna make fun of them! My unpolished toes along with my ashy feet and ankles!
Where are my socks or the house shoes that cover those monsters?!?
Gotta stay away from my best friend because during our ENTIRE friendship she told me how hidious my toes are! I hate her but, she's right. She's my only true and honest friend
I pick the prettiest colors so it hides those mini creatures. Maybe, that's why why everyone lies to me.
Oh your toes are so cute. I love that color, who did them?
Uh thanks. I did them. I got the color from CVS/walgreens/that random store on the corner. (Inserts side eye)
Even after all of that, it still takes forever to do them. Oh, and don't let me mess up especially after I did my fingernails!
They need to be tamed! They are out of control! Where are all the tools that scrape, clean, pinch, dust and buff these things to make them look decent?!? PLEASE!!!
I don't wanna do them!
My aunt screams:
OH YEAH! that's why! They fix ugly toes and feet.
I need to go more often
She said she watches me everyday as I grow into a wonderful young lady. keep and open mind and make every decision mine.
She said you're just like me but more influential. You can stand on my own 2 feet.
She said every mistake I've made has made me better and every wrong doing I've encountered has made me stronger
She said put your heart into everything you do. Think about what you wnat and get it liek it's the last item on the shelf
SHe said don' be scared. Face everything head on with your head held high and take everything in stride.
She said if no one else believes in you….I DO. I'll stand beside you
She said don't hold back your tears as they are the release of every pain and fear.
She said its ok to let go, be free, be me and be selfish for once. Don't be so defensive. let someone in.
These are the things she has said to me. I'm not sure how to go about it or what to think about it. Where do I start??
How does she know everything that is going on when she's been gone for so long? So far away but seems so close. So close that I can feel your presence
Why now? Whats wrong? Whats right? Seems like you arrive in time for every fight
I can pretend that nothing is wrong and act like I don't care what people think but I would lying to everyone including myself. At times I feel trapped within with the fear of truly letting go and letting people in. I'm surrounded and appreciated by many people but what you fail to realizeis that every night I sit wanting, wishing, thinking that someone could come save me. A shoulder to lean on and a chest to bury my face in and let all the tears run… Looks can be very deceiving and I'm guilty of deception…..I don't want to show the struggle but I'm scared and can hardly breathe
Scared to tell those how I truly feel inside. Loud, outspoken, strong and stable is what i seem. I am those things but I'm also sad, confused, guarded and frightened! At times I feel like I'm the only person i can tell my secrets too. Wishing i could open up and tell you but your perception and expectations of me puts those wants aside. Ive never felt so unaccomplished and accomplished at the same time!
Have you ever felt like all you're doing is working, working, working, but not hard enough to cover up or fulfill what you really want? Do you keep yourself occupied most of the time to ease the mind?
I do…..all the time
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or going at the right pace. I'm truly lost within. My minds consumes me and to trust one person with my thoughts seems impossible. All the people that surround me: facebook friends, twitter friends, co workers, family, random people I've come across and those that have known me for years say 'hey you can tell me anything, I CARE'
Do you? I don't believe you.
I often wonder what I'm actually capable of…

The impending departure of H. David Kotz, inspector general of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, looks bad for Kotz. But his resignation, announced Tuesday, looks even worse for the SEC.

Kotz wound up with a bruised image after Bloomberg News reported that he'd purchased three hard-to-get football tickets from a Pennsylvania investment adviser who posted an interview with Kotz on his Web site. There's a definite "What was he thinking?" aspect to this episode, and it's a blunt reminder that regulators should always separate their business from their personal lives.

Yet Kotz's quitting raises an even larger question for the SEC itself. Kotz has, to put it mildly, detailed for all the public to see that the SEC had become a paragon of dysfunction. During his four-year tenure, Kotz and his staff issued 52 audit reports and 140 investigative reports, frequently detailing the agency's fumbling. His reports, which covered everything from the SEC's boneheadedness (and I'm being kind here) in missing the Bernard Madoff scandal to the bizarre Web-surfing practices (read: cruising porn sites) of some staff members, could not have been more embarrassing.

He was a sitting duck for those humiliated by his work, and for his target's friends.

It was pretty clear to me in September 2011 that Kotz's days were numbered. Kotz had issued a report saying that, while David M. Becker was SEC general counsel, he had pushed a legal concept for compensating victims of the Madoff fraud that could have benefited Becker financially. Congress was holding hearings into the matter, and several dozen Becker supporters leapt into action. During his testimony, Becker read from his February 2011 farewell speech to SEC staffers that described employees "weeping with fear" over Kotz's investigations. Former SEC chairman Harvey Pitt testified that Kotz used an "unprincipled approach" in his work, adding that Kotz didn't follow the law and didn't know what he was talking about. (We won't get into details of Pitt's own stormy 15-month stint as SEC chief, which ended with his 2002 resignation letter to President George W. Bush noting the "turmoil" surrounding his chairmanship.)

On Sept. 22, the day after Becker's "weeping with fear" testimony, 52 securities lawyers, academics, and sitting securities regulators wrote to congressional committee members to defend Becker's high "moral and ethical fiber." Richard G. Ketchum, CEO of the self-regulatory agency Finra, signed the letter. So did Linda D. Fienberg, president of Finra's dispute resolution operation, though she described herself only as "Former Executive Assistant to SEC Chairman and Associate General Counsel." Pitt signed, too.

Kotz succeeded Walter Stachnik, who became the agency's first inspector general in 1989. Kotz got the job after a 108-page Senate report issued in August 2007 said Stachnik's office had "failed in its mission" to investigate allegations that hedge fund Pequot Capital had engaged in insider trading. Kotz was supposed to be the tough investigator who would restore confidence in the tainted inspector general's office.Don't get your hopes up that his replacement will have a comparably intrepid approach.

There's a moral in here somewhere. Maybe something like this: If you want to tell it like it is with the financial industry and its regulators, be sure to keep an updated version of your resume handy.

�Peace Be With You�
John 20:19-31,
Holy Humor Sunday, April 27, 2003
Purpose: For a second year in a row, our church has celebrated Holy Humor Sunday. This sermon on Thomas, and Jesus� statement, �Peace, be with you!� tries to bring some sense of �holy humor� into an otherwise less than humorous world.
Easter is a time of surprises. While worship has always been in a state of tension between our understanding of piety and the joy that fills the heart by hearing the good news, today to laugh or not to laugh, becomes the question. To restate Shakespeare, �Whether �tis nobler in the mind to control the impulse and maintain decorum, or to give in and enjoy this day, is totally up to you!�
[There�s a time for the congregation to share their humorous stories or jokes (provided in the bulletin or of their own) immediately proceeding this sermon. We took the jokes/stories from Holy Humor and More Holy Humor complied by Cal & Rosie Samra.]
Illus. There was a lady who on the Saturday afternoon before was doing some baking for her Easter dinner the next day. There was a knock at the door. She went to find a man, dressed in shabby clothes, and looking for some odd jobs. He asked her if there was anything he could do. She said, "Can you paint?"
"Yes," he said. "I�m a rather good painter."
"Well," she said, "there are two gallons of green paint there and a brush, and there�s a porch out back that needs to be painted. Please do a good job. I�ll pay you what the job is worth."
He said, "That�s great. I will be done quickly."
She went back to her baking and did not think much more about it until there was a knock at the door. She went, and it was obvious he had been painting for he had it on his clothes. She asked, "Did you finish the job?"
He said, "Yes."
She said, "Did you do a GOOD job?"
He said, "Yes. But lady, there�s one thing I would like to point out to you. That is not a Porsche back there. That is a Mercedes."
Or how about the man and a women who had been friends for many years, who had died and gone to heaven. They told St. Peter that they wanted to be married.
�Take your time and think about it,� said St. Peter, �you have eternity so take fifty years and see me then.�
Fifty years later, the couple returned and again told St. Peter they wanted to be married. �Well,� said St. Peter, �take another fifty years and really think about it�.�
But the couple was insistent, �We know we want to be married now�.�
St. Peter replied, �Well, take another fifty years and if we don�t have a preacher up here by then, I�ll
marry you myself.�
Easter is a time full of surprises�
This second Sunday of Easter BUILDS on the good news we celebrated LAST Sunday - Jesus was dead, now alive; the women come to the tomb in despair then leave the tomb in delight. Quite a story. Lots of questions, but as we learned last week, the bottom line, what this season is all about is that CHRIST IS RISEN...and your response�(HE IS RISEN INDEED!)
Holy Humor Sunday continues in the celebration. It celebrates the fact that the resurrection of Jesus is God�s ultimate joke on evil and death. It is a testament to the God who, as the Psalmist says in the second chapter, fourth verse, "sits in the heavens and laughs" at the foolishness of humanity and any forces that might seek to thwart divine purposes.
And in churches all around the world,

Photoset with 310 notes
For the past couple weeks I've tried on and off to get some feel to the version of Pitch from the concept art, specifically this one: http://shaneprigmore.blogspot.fi/2012/11/rise-of-guardians-part-01.html
I don't know, to me he looks to be bit more youthful an innocent, and like he's totally coming to your apartment to comment on your choice of curtains and help you find better ones, like that's Pitch in his 20's and not yet totally cynical and sour to the world.
Also he's ridiculously hard to draw for me.
So you're not going to see much of this one

How old, or young, do you have to be to be classed as a young offender? Find out here, plus info on ASBOs and getting back on the straight and narrow...
If you're aged 10-17 and have committed an offence, you're a young offender.
It's always a last resort. The main custodial (prison) sentence for 12 to 17-year olds is the Detention and Training Order (DTO), which lasts from four months to two years. It combines time in prison with time in the community under supervision of a probation officer.
If you've been in trouble with the law but want to get back on the straight and narrow, it can be difficult. Being tempted back into crime, not being able to get a job, not having enough money, family problems and staying away from drink and drugs are some of the problems people can face when trying to turn their lives around.

Spring is around the corner and hopefully the snow blowers and their owners will get a break. In the meantime, I located a similar question form a previous expert for the pull rope. The model is a bit different but the information provided brings us to the second link below which is how to replace the entire recoil on your model machine. This may help while you wait for the expert to review and answer. The third link to Sears Parts Direct offers the schematics and parts if needed. Hope this helps!

This blog will provide daily photos and news of the idol of many teenagers, Disney's superstar Miley Cyrus. We like her show, Hannah Montana as well as her great singles. I try not to miss her concerts. Miley Cyrus born in 1992 in Nashville. Her real name was Destiny Hope Cyrus but she officially change her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. The name Miley comes from her childhood nickname: Smiley. She had a constant smiling as a young child.
Miley Cyrus has a close friendship with Ashley Tisdale, Emily Osment and Demi Lovato. Emily Osment is a co-star in "Hannah Montana" where she also plays her on-screen best friend.
The talented superstar was dating with Nick Jonas in 2007.
We want to publish photos of Miley but you will not be able to see Miley Cyrus nude in this site for now. She was spotted going to the LA hotspot Voyeur. She was looking hot with a tiny shorts and shirt and high heels. You may not know what Voyeur is. It's a club where there are dancers, S&M displays and many kinds of debachery. Miley Cyrus racy photos hit the internet for years but now she is 18. We are hoping to see her new hot photos.

A Third Perspective: The 'Duck Dynasty' debacle
"Duck Dynasty," the A&E reality show starring a vivacious family of Southern entrepreneurs, has hooked TV audiences across the country and is now the most watched nonfiction cable series in America.
The swashbuckling, carefree attitude exhibited by the Robertson family provides nonstop entertainment and bewilderment; viewers can't help but laugh as they watch the Robertsons manage their wildly successful duck hunting company whilst stumbling into misadventures in the backwoods of Louisiana. There's something about that Southern charm that keeps people coming back for more.
However, disaster struck this past December. In an interview for "GQ" magazine, Phil Robertson - the head of the family and a beloved star of the show - landed in hot water for comments that were widely viewed as offensive. In expressing his views on homosexuality, Robertson began with a vulgar comparison between the anatomies of men and women, and then later added, "Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there."
Later in the interview Robertson switched gears and expressed his firm belief that African Americans were happy and content before the Civil Rights Movement, stating, "They [were] singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people'-not a word! ... Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."
Although not intentionally malicious, Robertson produced some of the most insensitive and cringe-worthy quotes of the year-all in one interview. This is no small feat considering the competition provided by a 24-hour news cycle, crass politicians and a smorgasbord of reality TV.
The backlash to these comments was swift and widespread. GLAAD, one of the most outspoken LGBT advocate organizations, called Robertson's ramblings "the vilest and most extreme" comments ever directed toward the LGBT community. Jesse Jackson, a prominent civil rights activist, weighed in on the GQ interview claiming, "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago," referring to the bus driver who ordered Rosa Parks to sit in the back of the bus.
Desperate to preserve the crown jewel of their programming, A&E suspended Robertson indefinitely and quickly condemned the reality star's diatribe.
Yet the controversy had only just begun. A double backlash (of sorts) emerged from conservative radio and television pundits who claimed that Robertson was entitled to his opinion and that his views fall under the protection of the first amendment-more specifically freedom of speech. These commentators were joined by Fox News contributors, socially conservative politicians and an "I Stand with Phil" petition that garnered nearly 200,000 signatures and demanded Robertson's immediate reinstatement on the show. Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin chimed in on Twitter writing, "Free speech is [an] endangered species; those 'intolerants' hatin' & taking on Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing personal opinion take on us all." Many in this cohort felt that A&E had acted unconstitutionally in suspending Robertson.
During this period of First Amendment solidarity, however, the "Duck Dynasty" defenders lost sight of what they were purportedly fighting for. While it is true that Robertson's opinions are protected by the First Amendment, freedom of speech is, to the chagrin of his most loyal fans, guaranteed to those "hatin'" on Robertson as well. In calling the denouncement of Robertson an attack on free speech, Sarah Palin and company inadvertently attacked free speech themselves. After all, no one prevented Robertson from expressing his beliefs; social conservatives are simply upset about the popular reaction to them.
The First Amendment applies to every American citizen, organization, interest group and company, and each is equally entitled to an opinion. Those who believe that Robertson is a quack and that his comments were nasty and draconian have the liberty to express such sentiments, and those who disagree are free to defend the man and his actions.
What's more, A&E has every right - constitutionally and otherwise - to kick Robertson off the show. A private company has the authority to terminate a commercial contract with an individual if that individual violates the contract. Making incendiary remarks that could damage the reputation of a company, or in this case a TV network, is among standard grounds for dismissal-Robertson is no exception.
As of January, however, A&E announced that the "Duck Dynasty" star would return to the show sooner than expected, which is likely related to a decline in the show's ratings rather than a feeble effort at appeasement.
In the final analysis, the entire fiasco had little to do with free speech but much to do with the changing social attitudes within the United States. A growing number of Americans are comfortable with homosexuality and many have become ardent supporters of marriage equality (it pains me to even have to mention racial equality), which is why the condemnation of Robertson sounded louder than his defense.
In a reactionary movement that hints at desperation, social conservatives have decided to use the First Amendment as their go-to defense. This is a tragic mistake; freedom of speech is guaranteed to everyone and reflects both ephemeral and permanent shifts in American public opinion. The appropriate response is to come up with reasonable ways to challenge, debate and change that opinion, rather than dramatize our right to have it.

By Eric Woodroof, Ph.D., CEM, CRM
In Hong Kong, where high-rises account for 85 percent of the carbon footprint, the government subsidizes energy and carbon audits in high-rise buildings.
Author Eric Woodroof visits Hong Kong.
A universal access card called an "octopus" is a pre-paid debit card that works on all Hong Kong's trains, buses, and trams. You can even use it to purchase items in local stores.
In my overseas travels over the last two months, I have seen a variety of energy and green solutions that I hope will inspire you as they have inspired me.
In many hotels throughout the world, I find the guest rooms are activated by inserting your access card into a special slot located just inside the room. Until you place your card in the slot, nothing turns on in the room (lights, HVAC or TV). These systems save about 30 percent and have a 1- to 2-year payback. You can't misplace your key card in the room because it must stay in the slot to operate equipment. I have found these systems in 10-year-old buildings in China, whereas in many U.S. hotels I find that the lights and HVAC are on before I enter the room.
In the Middle East solar water heaters are common; in fact, in Israel 90 percent of the buildings use solar heaters. This cost-effective solution can save natural gas in many locations besides the desert.
Speaking of solar, I must mention a domestic example: Frito Lay has a manufacturing facility that uses solar thermal to cook potatoes for the Sun Chips brand. In addition to the solar heating loop, the facility filters the cooking water for re-use, separates the organic material (potato skins, etc.) and burns this material in a waste heat boiler for "bio-based" process heating. Any leftover waste heat is recovered via an economizer.
A Cooling Tower Becomes a Water Feature
In Melbourne, Australia, an innovative cooling tower was designed for a LEED building. Instead of the typical metal box shape, this design is a 60-foot tall, 3-foot diameter tube of membrane material, which runs along one of the sides of the building. Condenser water is sprayed onto the inner diameter at the top of the tube and flows along the surface area, releasing some of its latent energy to the air. At the bottom of this cylindrical waterfall, the water hits a glass awning, creating an aesthetic feature and sound. The cool water is then reused for cooling within the building.
Did you know that some cities use seawater for toilet flushing? This idea can be expanded to other places where seawater is abundant and fresh water is not.
In Hong Kong the government subsidizes energy and carbon audits in high-rise buildings, which account for 85 percent of Hong Kong's carbon footprint. In addition, Hong Kong charges 50 cents per plastic bag when you buy something in a retail store, which truly incentivizes people to reduce their use of plastic bags.
I was also impressed with Hong Kong's transportation system, which is one of the best in the world. If you are landing at the airport, it is easier, faster and less expensive to use the subway than any other transportation mode. After getting your luggage, you walk about 100 yards and jump on the airport express train, which gets you to the city in about 22 minutes. From the downtown station, you can get almost anywhere quickly on trains arriving every 1 to 2 minutes during rush hours.
A universal access card called an "octopus" is a pre-paid debit card that works on all Hong Kong's trains, buses, and trams. You can even use it to purchase items in local stores; just tap your wallet when next to the proximity badge reader and it deducts your fare or purchase from your card's balance.
In Brazil some buildings have card access systems that recognize you when you enter the building and activate the lighting and HVAC in your work area. The access data can also be used for security, time clock reporting and other applications.
If you have a success story from anywhere in the world, I would love to hear it. Feel free to send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Andy Sisco Rumors
Rosenthal On Abreu, Garland, Glavine, Sisco
The latest from Ken Rosenthal…
- The Mariners and Giants are interested in Bobby Abreu, if the price is right. Yesterday Buster Olney suggested that Abreu is willing to take a one-year deal. The A's and Nationals have other targets, while the Mets, White Sox, and Braves are seen as long shots.
- Rosenthal examines the nuances of Jon Garland's December 7th decision to reject arbitration, saying that it wasn't an obvious mistake at the time.
- Tom Glavine's agent Gregg Clifton did not attend yesterday's meeting with Frank Wren; it was a health update and not a contract negotiation. Rosenthal says Glavine figures to seek a Freddy Garcia-like deal. The Braves need to save money to add an outfielder, with Nick Swisher atop their list. The Yankees' goal in moving Swisher or Xavier Nady would be to recoup prospects.
- The Brewers are not interested in projects such as Kris Benson, Jason Jennings, Mark Redman, and Victor Zambrano. They're just lukewarm on Mark Mulder. Benson is drawing interest from the Dodgers, Rangers, and Cardinals; one exec reviewed his audition as "so-so."
- Rosenthal doesn't seem to buy the idea that Jason Varitek and Scott Boras feared the Red Sox could cut him if he accepted arbitration, noting that Boras client Travis Lee was advised to accept years ago.
- The Braves have reservations about re-signing Andruw Jones, who could be a Spring Training cut.
- The A's deal for Russ Springer will be worth more than $3MM plus incentives. They're also eyeing Brian Shouse and Andrew Sisco as possible pen additions. Sisco, recovering from Tommy John, has also auditioned for the Rockies and Giants.

White Sox May Deal Young Hurlers
This winter, Kenny Williams may shop three hard-throwing, recently acquired White Sox pitchers. Nick Masset, David Aardsma, and Andy Sisco have disappointed the Sox in their first seasons in the organization, and none earned September call-ups. Aardsma and Masset are out of options, so the Sox will probably lose them if they fail to earn spots with the big club next spring. Once a player is out of options he must clear waivers before he can be sent to the minors.
Masset will turn 26 next season. He came over from Texas in the Brandon McCarthy trade. The right has good command and can touch 96 on the gun. Masset struggled as a reliever with the Sox, and has been working as a starter in Triple A since July. He hasn't impressed in that role either.
Aardsma was acquired from the Cubs in November for Neal Cotts, a trade that worked out for neither team. Aardsma turns 26 in December; he's posted massive strikeout rates at both Triple A and the Majors this year. He was lights out for the Sox in April, whiffing 23 in 15.2 innings before it all fell apart. He's been closing for Charlotte. I'm surprised the Sox soured on him so easily, especially after since they've fallen out of contention.
Sisco, a southpaw, will turn 25 in January. He's among the tallest men ever to take a big league mound at 6-9. Like Masset, he failed in the Major League pen and was switched to starting this summer. His control has been a problem so far. "Wild Thing" came up in the Cubs' system, gaining notoriety when he broke his left hand punching a clubhouse wall in anger in '03. The Royals pilfered him in the Rule 5 draft in December of '04. He made the jump from A ball to the bigs in '05 and did a respectable job despite too many walks. But he bombed in '06 and the Royals saw fit to ship him to Chicago for Ross Gload.
Masset, Aardsma, and Sisco form an interesting albeit disappointing trio. I imagine many teams will be willing to take a shot on them.

White Sox Acquire Sisco For Gload
Baseball Digest Daily reports that the White Sox have acquired reliever Andy Sisco for first baseman/outfielder Ross Gload.
Seems like a big win for the Sox. Sisco, a big lefty, turns 24 in January. Since jumping from A ball to the Majors in '05 as a Rule 5 pick from the Cubs, Sisco has been in over his head. The White Sox could fix him up as a lights out reliever like they did with Matt Thornton, or else switch him back to starting.
How does Gload help the Royals? He'll turn 31 next season and the club has absolutely no room for another 1B/OF. Shouldn't Dayton Moore be stockpiling young arms instead of guys like Gload?
