The latest round of poll numbers for Gov. Kathleen Blanco doesn't bode well for the Fourth Floor.
In a poll conducted over 10 days in early November by the Alabama-based Southern Media and Opinion Research Group, a mere 19.3 percent of the 600 Louisiana voters questioned would "definitely vote to re-elect" Blanco. In New Orleans, the number hovered around 9.8 percent. Meanwhile in Blanco's home base of Acadiana, only 19.4 percent said they would back Blanco again.
The same scenario plays out in the latest poll by SurveyUSA, which is funded by a consortium of media organizations. From the 600 samples taken on Nov. 14, the governor yielded a 34 percent approval rating ' compared to a 55 percent approval rating in May.
The Louisiana Republican Party is throwing gasoline on the fire by distributing freshly made bumper stickers that read, "Don't blame me. I voted for Jindal."Â ' Jeremy Alford
The federal tool that allows crawfish processors to collect money from tariffs on foreign competitors could be repealed by year's end.
In an effort to cut spending, the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to repeal the Byrd Amendment, which is the mechanism that triggers payments from importers of Chinese crawfish, among other goods. Since the Byrd Amendment was enacted in 2001, Louisiana's crawfish industry has received $25.4 million. If the repeal passes, that same money would go to the U.S. Treasury in coming years.
Chinese tail meat was so inexpensive during the mid-90s that dozens of Louisiana processors ' many in Acadiana ' were forced to shut down. When the Department of Commerce initiated tariffs on their foreign competitors, the move brought some relief to domestic interests.
Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Bob Odom, who partly oversaw the tariff initiative, says he hopes Congress will preserve not only the current Byrd Amendment, but even consider expanding it to include crawfish farmers, not just processors. "We fought long and hard to get the tariffs in place, and the money collected rightfully belongs to the industry," Odom says. ' Jeremy Alford
Last week, Lafayette Republican Sen. Mike Michot confirmed his interest in running for late Secretary of State Fox McKeithen's position next year. "I think it would be a good job to have," Michot told WAFB. Michot hopes to formally announce his intentions soon; New Orleans Democratic Sen. Francis Heitmeier is also mulling a run for the post.

Bob Johannessen, a spokesperson with the Department of Health and Hospitals, says deaths resulting from Hurricane Rita are not being compiled on a statewide level yet and the dissemination of such information is being left to parish coroners.
Numerous reports, however, have quoted state officials in recent weeks and months as saying there have been no deaths attributed to Rita, which made landfall around Cameron Parish.
But there has been at least one. According to his death certificate, Lawrence Blanchard of Chauvin died on Oct. 26 from an infection he contracted after entering floodwaters caused by Rita.
For the time being, Johannessen says the state will only continue to update related fatalities from Hurricane Katrina. "We're only putting out the Katrina numbers because of its sheer size and scope," he says. ' Jeremy Alford
The state Ethics Board will decide this month whether an employee of the Lafayette Parish School System can buy a home from a vendor she does business with on a daily basis.
Donna R. Denny, the technology director for the school system, wants to purchase the home of a Dell Computers sales representative in Lafayette, but state law prohibits public employees from receiving anything of economic value from people they do business with. An item of economic value can be anything from a free t-shirt to a discounted price on goods, according to the law. It was enough of a grey area for Denny to request a hearing.
"Before I do anything here, or make an offer, I definitely want to make sure this is possible because we do have business together," she says. Denny says she was approached about buying the home by the sales rep, and both parties are still waiting for an appraisal. ' Jeremy Alford
The UL Lafayette School of Architecture, in concert with Tulane University in New Orleans, will be coordinating a $100,000 grant project from the federal government to incorporate energy-efficient and sustainable design practices into Louisiana's rebuilding efforts.
The United States Department of Energy award will bring together national experts to share building design concepts at scheduled forums to be held in the hurricane-affected regions of the state starting in January.
"Our goal is to bring together our collective resources, building research and lessons learned from past hurricanes to create safer, stronger, more energy efficient communities," says Douglas L. Faulkner, acting assistant secretary at DOE.
Scheduling dates, locations and possible plan details will be announced in the coming weeks. ' Jeremy Alford

NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.

NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

Manu Ginobili for the most part, performed horridly in the NBA Finals. And in the immediate aftermath of the San Antonio Spurs succumbing to the Miami Heat in Game 7, a lot of folks suggested that the Argentinian guard should hang up his kicks and call it a career now that his contract expired. In the postgame news conference following Game 7, Ginobili was noncommittal either way about possible retirement and said that he wasn't ready to make a decision. Well, according to a story by Pro Basketball talk via the San Antionio Express-News, Ginobili put any debate about retirement to rest when he wrote this in an Argentinian newspaper. "After much thinking, going over and over the bad plays, I feel better and content in spite of the bad outcome, and I find it difficult to believe that I won't play anymore," he wrote in La Nación. "I don't feel exhausted or frustrated playing basketball, I mean not enough to say I'm done. I don't know about everything; I haven't made a decision, but I see it is unlikely that I will not play anymore. "I try not to let the tree in front of me block the forest. This is practically an unbeatable situation in sports. A moment of anger and frustration should not cloud the day-to-day and how well I am doing over here. "… I think they want me here again; but I'm not certain because I still can't talk to the franchise" under NBA rules. I think Ginobili still has something to offer a team, his bad play in the Finals had more to do with bad decision making than any sort of extreme drop off physically. Will the Spurs bring him back at a reduced price? I think that's definitely a plausible outcome.
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat
He is a top candidate to represent the "HAIR CLUB FOR MEN".

Published August 09, 2012 12:00 Canadian rising star Eugenie Bouchard was among those in attendace at the Rogers Cup's All-Access Hour. As was Canadian No.1 Aleksandra Wozniak, a former World No.21 on the brink of breaking the Top 50 again. The 18-year-old Eugenie Bouchard was also among those taking the runway at the Rogers Cup player party. Galina Voskoboeva was a breakthrough star at last year's Rogers Cup, making the quarters as a qualifier. Also among those taking the runway was Marie-Eve Pelletier, one of Canada's most seasoned veterans. Aleksandra Wozniak reached the quarterfinals at the Rogers Cup – the first Canadian to make it that far at the tournament since 1992. Caroline Wozniacki and Agnieszka Radwanska, long time friends and Top 10 players, at the player party. Jelena Jankovic, a former No.1 and 2007 finalist at the Rogers Cup, stepped out at the player party too. Fellow Serb and former No.1 Ana Ivanovic has done one better at the Rogers Cup - she won it in 2006. Daniela Hantuchova, whose best result at the Rogers Cup was the semifinals back in 2002, at the party. World No.10 Marion Bartoli is France's No.1 player by a long way - the next highest is down at No.47. Sara Errani, one spot above Marion Bartoli at No.9 in the world, is the WTA's newest Top 10 player. Former French Open champion Li Na is looking to rebound from early losses at Wimbledon and the Olympics. Dominika Cibulkova also lost early at Wimbledon and the Olympics, but won the San Diego title in between.

The Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Bankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German (and, later, of German-American) Jewry. They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries, endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents. But their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods for anti-Semitism, and their sense of patriotism became increasingly dangerous in a Germany that had declared Jews the enemy.
Ron Chernow's hugely fascinating history is a group portrait of a clan whose members were renowned for their brilliance, culture, and personal energy yet tragically vulnerable to the dark and irrational currents of the twentieth century.
Praise for The Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family…
"Splendid.... Chernow does a wonderful job fleshing out the lives of the major characters in this family drama."
-- Wall Street Journal
"[Ron Chernow] has surpassed himself in this absorbing chronicle."
-- The New Yorker
"This is grand-scale scholarship .... It is all here, along with so much of the painful, tumultuous history of our time, all in one splendid book."
-- David McCullough, author of Truman

Thursday, October 30, 2014
The last papers for my teaching subjects were today. For the record, i'm quite satisfied with what was tested and how it was tested, though inevitably some students still were unable to cope. We'll just have to wait and see how the results turn out. I still feel the same level of worry and stress over how the paper will turn out as i did when i had my first batch of graduating students though. Guess it's part and parcel of what to expect in the years to come.
A few years ago i'd have thought that the end of the final exams and the start of the holidays for the students would mean that things would start to wind down. Am certainly much the wiser now, and perhaps also much more able to tackle the final wave of work before the true holidays start. Nevertheless, it's going to be a long three weeks ahead.

red season
It's full swing into marking season again (the so-called off-season seeming to have gotten shorter and shorter). As of late, in an attempt to do something purposeful apart from school-related stuff, I've been borrowing a book from the library every six weeks or so (or however long the maximum loan period is) and trying to read it during my free moments (which nowadays mainly would be the time spent waiting for and riding in public transport). However, the demise of the aforementioned off-season has put that plan to rest, at least for now, as it's back to marking on the bus or train while valiantly trying to keep my marking hand synchronized with each jerk and turn of the vehicle. Somehow i doubt that's an image that will be making its way to any recruitment ads anytime soon.

Getting itchy?
When the posts here are limited to one a month, appear predictably towards the end of each month, and consist mainly of random cryptic fluff, you know it's been busy days. Or weeks. Actually, make that months.

Eating too much?
Not enough exercise?
Just getting older?
Hoping for the least of the three evils =P
Thursday, June 26, 2014
So we're reaching the end of yet another school holiday period, with just days to go before it's back to the reality of work. I was tempted initially to call it a 'holiday', but in all honesty i did get a somewhat decent break, though of course as usual it was hardly long enough. Ideally, i'd have an extended period of time abroad coupled with a similarly extended period of time simply relaxing back at home. Given the limited duration of the holiday though, i'd have to be content with just one of those. And i'll never pass up an opportunity to travel, which means that i yet again missed out on spending enough quality time back here. Even though i'd made a conscious effort to arrive back here with some days to spare before having to get back to work, i ended up spending much of my free time recovering from the effects of the travel (alas, that's just me feeling my age, i suppose).
I do have Friday and the weekend left, though i do need these days to do some work, if i'm planning to meet at least some of my deadlines and not make next week a thoroughly miserable one. It's going to be a challenge though, as i can hardly get into the right frame of mind. We'll see how things will go..

net loss
For sure they did not have this in mind when designing the structure of the school year here, but somehow it seems as though the past 21.5 weeks (two terms of ten weeks + three extra days and one week of March 'holidays') has just about done it for me, such that today i find myself at home essentially wasting time while trying to decide on what to do (there's always stuff to do, but with the marking season over, what exactly i need to do becomes less concrete), not having managed to do anything yet, while in just about every previous Saturday this year i would have found myself stationed in some cafe with a (rather) affordable drink that would hopefully warrant my presence there for hours on end, getting some form of work done (as i find myself far less inefficient - very deliberate choice of words there - than i would at home).
In keeping with the spirit of the aforementioned March 'holidays', next week i'll still find myself in school for every working day, no doubt trying to squeeze out every last ounce of energy and willpower i have to last me through before the actual June holiday. Speaking of the June holiday, i must say that i'm rather apprehensive about it because i've yet to plan anything to do with the trip yet with a week left to go, which is a first, as normally i'd at least have some accommodation and itinerary matters settled after finally finding some time to take my focus away temporarily from work to get some planning done. This time though, the amount and complexity of work up till now and continuing from here, has really been unprecedented, hence my current unintentional 'as the wind takes me' approach. I hope that i'll at least have some chance to recharge during the holiday, lest i end up in a worse state than this when i come back just in time for another hard half-year slog. Don't know how to look at this positively in terms of my ability to last beyond a couple more years..

Productivity Pressures
With the first of May just a couple of hours away, the Labour Day messages have been coming in. I haven't bothered to read any of them, but it's safe to say that one major theme, at least from the messages from any government/government-linked body would be that of productivity, or more specifically, the need to boost it.
Whenever i encounter such calls to increased productivity, inevitably my eyes roll (though granted cynical me rolls my eyes at plenty of things). I do not doubt the validity and urgency of such calls at the national level (in any case, i'm far from qualified to be able to pass any judgement), but at least when i think of my own example, increased productivity just doesn't seem like a viable and sustainable option. I'm very aware of my own failings, which include being highly inefficient and lacking focus when it comes to vital matters such as marking and setting of papers. However, i can't help but feel that i draw upon those wasted moments for energy in order to keep myself going, especially given the sheer number of tasks that there are to complete at any one time, which really take a lot out of me. In other words, if i were, by some miracle of nature, to become extremely focused and productive in my work, i doubt i could even last beyond this year before succumbing to burnout.
Something to think about as i prepare for another day of labour this Labour Day.

To tackle film industry's problems
Producers' organisation agrees to revive production
Steps to float welfare fund to be intensified
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The State government will form an Entertainment Regulatory Authority with sufficient legal backing to tackle the problems dogging the film industry, Minister for Cultural Affairs M.A. Baby has said.
Briefing presspersons about the discussions he had with fraternal organisations of the film industry here on Wednesday night, Mr. Baby said the Film Producers' Association had agreed to repeal its decision to stop production and to revive production of films in full swing from Saturday.
The government would intensify the steps to float a welfare fund for those involved in the entertainment industry, including indigent artistes and workers.
Chitranjali Studio
The Chitranjali Studio here would soon be developed into a premier facilitation centre so that the State could emerge as the hub of Malayalam cinema. The structure, responsibilities and the ambit of the authority would be worked out through discussions.
Special support
The government would lend special support to quality films and they would be exhibited in government theatres. A panel, headed by Additional Chief Secretary T. Balakrishnan and Chalachitra Academy chairman K.R. Mohanan, would hear the problems and issues in the industry. Organisations and individuals could raise their views before the panel so that these were taken up by the government.
Another round of discussions would be held here on May 27, he said.

Jamie Carragher insists that fourth place in the Barclays Premier League, and the Champions League football that brings, is a realistic possibility for Liverpool this season.
The Merseyside club ended a run of five matches without a win at the weekend, beating Wigan Athletic by 3-0. The win moves Liverpool up to 11th place, eight points behind 4th spot, currently occupied by West Brom.
Talking to the BBC, Carragher said: "Beside the top two, and even Manchester United lost on Saturday, a lot of teams are dropping points all over the place," Carragher said.
"From our own point of view, we now want to kick on and make a challenge for that top four place because it seems that everyone is throwing it away."
Carragher came on as a late sub for the Reds - a brace from Luis Suarez, and one from Jose Enrique gave them the three points.
Next up, Liverpool face Young Boys in the Europa League on Thursday, followed by Brendan Rodgers' return to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea.

Ron Howard changes gears with family friendly twisted fantasy tale!
Based on the award-winning fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book centers on young Nobody Owens, who is adopted and raised by the occupants of a graveyard following the murder of his family.
Animation legend Henry Selick (Coraline) was at one point set to direct The Graveyard Book in stop-motion but left the project. Ron Howard (Apollo 13) has some experience with dark fantasy family films, having directed the movie adaptation of Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey.

Entering Canada as a Canadian citizen, but with a NON-Canadian motorcycle.
This was submitted by a border guard for Canada:
I work at the border in Canada and am a motorcycle junkie/RTW researcher (can't afford to go yet). While working a couple months ago, a rider pulled up to the border and was sent in to fill out paperwork. The whole scenario and situation was somewhat unique to the border crossing I work at and I ended up having to deal with it. It all started when a dirty, road-weary rider came into the office and began talking with the other officers that the real problem presented itself.
The rider was a Canadian who had left Canada on a RTW trip and had bought a nice new bike in South Africa that he had used to travel around before flying it over to South America to begin his trip north to Alaska. Nowhere along his journey did he encounter more problems than when he hit the border to his home country. The issue was/is that a Canadian RESIDENT cannot drive a non-duty paid vehicle (any vehicle plated in another country) in Canada. The only exemption is made when a rental vehicle is used in an emergency to bring that person back home etc. The man was told that he would have to IMPORT the vehicle into the Canadian market and pay all applicable duties and taxes on it to allow it up. No other options.
It seems that when people research RTW trips, they take for granted/dismiss their own country or don't ever think there could ever be any issue with returning home. The man in this story was not returning to Canada to live, resume residency or even stay for any period of time. He was only returning as part of his trip to Alaska and eventually over to Russia. The man was understandably bothered and surprised at the realization that his bike was not allowed to come into his home country. I overheard him ask one of the other officers if they knew the documentary Long Way Round, HUBB and Horizons Unlimited. I informed him that I did and that I knew fully his intentions, what he was doing and why. It created an environment of understanding since I had some understanding of the lifestyle, choice, determination and cost of his dream trip.
I discussed the issue at length with my supervisors and argued on the gentleman's behalf that he should not be considered a resident of Canada as he had been absent for so long and had evidence that he was intent on taking up residency in another country. The problem was that since the man had not taken up residency in any other country, he (by default) maintained his Canadian Residency and could not be allowed to enter Canada with the motorcycle unless he imported it. That would have been impossible even if he had accepted it, as the vehicle was manufactured for the South African market and did not meet Transport Canada's safety requirements.
It was a difficult situation. Eventually, we allowed the man to enter Canada as it was my belief that he would be exporting the vehicle and that he had done all he could to terminate his residency in Canada. It became an issue of officer discretion as the law clearly prohibited the entry of that vehicle by the man unless he was the resident of another country.
I just thought I would pass along the story. I can't remember his name but my thoughts go out to him and hope his trip is going well.
editors comments:
FWIW, the Transport Canada safety requirements are a boondoggle so far as I've been able to determine - the problem is the bike doesn't have the STICKER - not that it doesn't meet the requirements. The bike is almost certainly identical in all respects. While there are indeed often differences for all sorts of things, there are a lot less now than there used to be. (When I was a Suzuki dealer in the '70's, the parts books were 50% "differences" for each country - but it was all very minor stuff, like different coloured parts, or racks and footpegs etc. Today they are mostly standardized.) For instance, this traveller would certainly have to change the headlight, as South Africa drives on the left, so the headlight would point left on low beam, not right as in Canada and the USA etc. But that's no big deal and is easily dealt with. It's Transport Canada's absolute ban - without an inspection system to see if it IS safe - that drives me nuts. When I imported my bike into Australia it was straightforward - pass an Aus$125 inspection and you're in. It's up to you to make sure it passes. All I had to do was get the headlight swapped and the rest was fine. UK the same, no problem. Transport Canada however says no, and that's that. Not right. :(
Also, the very important detail: "... Canadian RESIDENT cannot drive a non-duty paid vehicle (any vehicle plated in another country) in Canada." is interesting - why on earth not? Why couldn't I borrow a bike from a friend who is travelling through? I'm insured, his bike is insured, so that's not an issue. The rest is just an annoyance. aaaargghh!
paperwork... mutter grumble...
get it right and know what you're doing before you leave!

NASA's Fermi and Aqua satellites captured two different views of bursts of strength show by Hurricane Julio as it intensified. NASA's Fermi satellite saw a gamma-ray flash from Julio, while NASA's Aqua satellite saw Julio become more structurally organized as a hurricane.
On August 6 at 22:30 UTC (6:30 p.m. EDT) NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricanes Iselle (right) and Julio (left) approaching Hawaii. This image was created using three satellite passes.

A red cross marks Fermi's position at the time it detected a TGF above Tropical Storm Julio on Aug. 4. Green dots show lightning locations from WWLLN data 10 minutes before and after the TGF (magenta). Background: A GOES 15 image of Julio taken 19 minutes before the flash.

Fermi Spots Julio's Gamma-Ray Flash
Shortly after 4:19 a.m. EDT on Monday, Aug. 4, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope showed that Julio packs a wallop of a very different kind when its Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected a quick flash of high-energy light.
This type of outburst is known as a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF). Produced by the powerful electric fields in thunderstorms, TGFs last only a few thousandths of a second but emit gamma rays that make up the highest-energy naturally-occurring light on Earth. Scientists estimate that, on average, about 1,100 TGFs occur each day.
Fermi's GBM instrument can detect TGFs within about 500 miles (800 km) of the spacecraft, which is too imprecise to definitively associate these flashes with specific storms. In 2012, however, Fermi scientists used lightning location data to show that TGFs also emit strong radio bursts, signals that can pinpoint the flashes with much greater precision.
Lightning emits a broad range of very low frequency (VLF) radio waves, often heard as pop-and-crackle static on AM radio broadcasts. The World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), a research collaboration operated by the University of Washington in Seattle, uses these radio signals to pinpoint lightning discharges anywhere on the globe to within about 6 miles (10 km).
According to WWLLN data, a lightning-like radio burst occurred near Fermi just 1.89 milliseconds after the spacecraft captured the gamma-ray flash above Julio, then a tropical storm. The timing is so close that the two signals must be related. "As far as I know, a TGF from a tropical storm has never been reported before," said Michael Briggs, a member of the GBM team at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Aqua Spots a More Organized Storm
Two days after Julio emitted a gamma-ray flash, NASA's Aqua satellite passed overhead and captured a visible image of the storm that showed it had become more structurally organized.
On August 6 at 22:30 UTC (6:30 p.m. EDT) NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricanes Iselle and Julio approaching Hawaii. The visible image was captured from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument. The hurricane appeared more compact and symmetric. By August 7, the National Hurricane Center noted that Julio's eye had cleared of clouds.
At 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) on August 7, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that Julio's maximum sustained winds had increased to near 100 mph (155 kph). The
NHC noted that some additional strengthening is possible before the storm begins gradually weakening at night and over the weekend of August 9 and 10.
The eye of Hurricane Julio was located near latitude 16.8 north and longitude 134.9 west, about 1,340 miles (2,155 km east of Hilo, Hawaii. Julio is moving toward the west-northwest near 17 mph (28 kph) and this general motion is expected to continue for the next 48 hours. The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 millibars.
The NHC intensity forecast calls for Julio to remain at hurricane strength for the next 2-3 days (through August 9 or 10). Only gradual weakening is anticipated at the end of the forecast period since Julio will be moving over increasingly warmer waters to the north and west of Hawaii.

Israel leader vows to pass nationality law
Conflict in the Middle East
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's prime minister has vowed to pass a contentious nationality law, but is leaving the door open to negotiations to soften the language.
Benjamin Netanyahu told members of his Likud Party on Monday that he is determined to pass the legislation.
The bill seeks to define Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people in the country's de facto constitution. But opponents say that some of the language is illegal or racist, and undercuts Israel's democratic character.
Earlier, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni warned that passing the bill could topple the governing coalition and force early elections.
Officials said they were working toward delaying a scheduled vote on Wednesday for at least a week.

Harmony (Music)
In music, harmony is the use of simultaneous pitches, or chords. The study of harmony involves chords and their construction and chord progressions and the principles of connection that govern them. Harmony is often said to refer to the "vertical" aspect of music, as distinguished from melodic line, or the "horizontal" aspect. Counterpoint, which refers to the interweaving of melodic lines, and polyphony, which refers to the relationship of separate independent voices, are thus sometimes distinguished from harmony. In popular and jazz harmony, chords are named by their root plus various terms and characters indicating their qualities. In many types of music, notably baroque, romantic, modern and jazz, chords are often augmented with "tensions". A tension is an additional chord member that creates a relatively dissonant interval in relation to the bass. Typically, in the classical common practice period a dissonant chord "resolves" to a consonant chord. Harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In simple words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tense" and "relaxed" moments.

Hudak says wage freeze just beginning of austerity blitz
Freezing the wages of 1.06 million Ontario public servants should be merely the first phase in an all-out effort to rein in salaries, the Tories say.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Freezing the wages of 1.2 million Ontario public servants should be merely the first phase in an all-out effort to rein in salaries, warns Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak.
"What comes next? If we don't have bold reforms to actually drive down the cost of government then we're going to hit these unaffordable heights once again once the wage freeze comes off," Hudak said Monday at Queen's Park.
"We'll be right back where we started from and staring at a mounting, job-deterring provincial debt load," he said.
To that end, the Tories are reviving their 2011 election pledge to revamp a "broken arbitration system" that routinely awards pay increases to unionized workers not legally allowed to strike.
These include police, firefighters and Toronto Transit Commission employees.
"You can't get blood from a stone," said the Tory leader, flanked by MPP Jim Wilson (Simcoe-Grey) who has introduced the Ability to Pay Act.
Wilson's legislation, which will be debated Oct. 4, would force arbitrators to factor whether an employer, such as a municipality, can afford a settlement and would increase transparency over any decisions.
Ironically, the Conservatives sided with the New Democrats in the spring to derail an attempt by the minority Liberals to revamp the arbitration system.
"We'll be taking action and reintroducing the sections of the budget bill that Hudak instructed his party's members to vote against, even though it was in their election platform," a senior Liberal official said.
At the time of that budget standoff, which had Ontario on the brink of an election, the Tories insisted the Liberals' measures did not go far enough.
Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, who has a $14.8 billion deficit, is expected to expand the Liberals' wage-freeze push from teachers to other public servants in the weeks ahead, before tackling arbitration.

"Wanted to say a big thank you for the luscious tomatoes! Even when I was cutting them, I never saw such a gorgeous red color. But more importantly, I wanted to thank you (again) for giving such love and care to our furry babies. It absolutely means the world to me, to know that my 'kids' are in such good hands. Loving animals are wonderful, but knowing how responsibly and diligently you apply all your knowledge and experience with each pet - that truly gave me peace of mind, especially as we had…

Our Pack
Hug-a-Dog Pet Care provides professional pet-sitting services by nuts-about-dogs animal lovers. We offer daily walks, doggie daycare, boarding, puppy care and training, and in-home pet-sitting and house-sitting. We pride ourselves on tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of you and your pet. Out of town? Working late? Can't get home to smooch your pooch? Just give us a call and we'll run over and give your pet a little loving until you get home.
Challenged to find reliable, in-home pet sitting for their own dogs, Linda & Jorge Gonzalez created a pet sitting service to address the needs of pet lovers in their neighborhood. After starting the business in Florida over a decade ago, Hug-a-Dog Pet Care grew to a pack of over 200 tail-wagging pets and their owners. Years of exeperience in caring for our own and others' pets and being calm, responsive and resourceful make us the go-to professionals for pet care services since 2002.
Linda Gonzalez, Top Dog
Twenty years in the cold harsh winters of Chicago and another stint in the steaming chaos of Miami was enough for Linda to decide to finally head to the mountains. As a graduate of Clemson University and with a graduate degree in Business, Linda worked as a senior manager in operations, facilities and crisis management for both large and small companies before unleashing her passion - the furry four-footed variety!
As a professional pet-sitter, Linda has been the Top Dog for more than twelve years. She has helped care for hundreds of pets of all types, from the largest Great Dane to the tiniest finch. In 2008, she was chosen as a top finalist for Pet-Sitter of the Year by Pet Sitters International. She is certified in Pet First Aid and Canine CPR. Linda's dedication, compassion and just plain joy in her work are evident to all her clients, both two-footed and four-footed!
Jorge Gonzalez, Leader of the Pack
"No dogs while we live in the North. Period."
And then... "I'm going to melt into the pavement. Miami is burning me up..."
This was Jorge's mantra - no sunrise walks in 20-degree below zero temperatures for him! But the intense heat and chaos of Miami was too much as well. So he pulled on his boots and grabbed his fleece. Jorge now shares his home in the mountains with Linda and their pack of well-loved-but-never-spoiled pooches - Chesley the Clown and Kaya the Kween (terrier mongrel - ugly, but endearing). Jorge's background in logistics and manufacturing operations serves him well when "doody calls" for a pack of pooches eager to go for a sunrise walk!
As the "Leader of the Pack", Jorge is a master pooper-scooper, working with Linda for more than twelve years since the founding of Hug-a-Dog Pet Care. He is certified in Pet First Aid and Canine CPR.

Salon Della Sass pampers clients at every turn. Resident stylist Sassy Brooks offers each visitor a complimentary glass of of wine, beer, coffee, or juice as they arrive before settling in to discuss the hairstyle they have in mind. Then, with skillful snips and top-shelf products by brands such as Nioxin and Pureology, she brings their desired cut, color, and hair texture to life. Looking good isn't the only reward for scheduling an appointment—all hair services are accompanied by a refreshing peppermint warm-towel treatment and a gentle massage for the face and scalp.
Jenn Palacios hews toward a funky and edgy aesthetic. But she's just as adept at crafting a classic hairdo as she is cutting edge, thanks to her versatility and wide-ranging certifications. Jenn's a master colorist, a Deva Cut specialist, and possesses certificates in smoothing treatments and Babe extensions. At Amped Salon, Jenn draws from her artistic aesthetic and technical know-how to craft one-of-a-kind hairdos that capture her clients' own styles and embellish their most flattering features. Aside from cuts, coloring, and texturing treatments, notable services include waxing, makeup application, and "punk rock coloring" for those seeking an edgy new look or a change from the muted "elevator muzak" colors they've had for years.
The staff at Enlighten Laser knows that beyond just being really cool, lasers are also highly effective for a number of health and beauty concerns, ranging from hair removal to weight loss. Employing FDA-approved devices and techniques, the clinic's practitioners treat spider veins, sun-damaged skin, and acne with the power of their lasers' focused beams. The infrared sauna on site offers a more hands-off, relaxed approach to detox and beautification, helping increase blood flow with dry heat and by making visitors feel like they're staring in a film about submarines.
The beauty experts at Allure Laser & Day Spa rely on state-of-the-art aesthetic technology to help their clients look their best. Armed with Candela?s GentleLASE Plus laser, they zap away unwanted fuzz, reducing the need for razors, wax, and tiny lawn mowers.

As a licensed medical aesthetician and certified laser technician, Tammy Alexander feels right at home in every corner of her beauty spa.

Alexander expertly removes fuzz during her bikini and Brazilian waxes. She also offers cosmetic treatments that include eyelash extensions, organic airbrush tanning, and jane iredale–makeup applications.
Inside Simply Irresistible, expert nail tech and independent contractor Maria Mock keeps phalanges looking polished with more than 20 years of nail-care experience, a skill she has taught throughout the world. Maria's dexterous fingers coax tension and miniature squadrons of army men out of feet during soothing pedicures, which treat parched two-steppers to several gulps of lotion. After whittling nails to desired forms, Maria dresses them up with a glitzy layer of polish. The spa Shellac manicure similarly dotes on hands with a massage but goes the extra mile by sloughing off dead skin cells and sealing in moisture with an exfoliation and paraffin hand dip. Maria files talons into shape and finishes with a coat of durable, high-gloss Shellac, which, like a sugar-cookie purist, resists chips. Groupon-holders can upgrade to a french Shellac manicure or a regular french polish pedicure for an additional $5.

Amazing 14-year-old girl swims across Lake Ontario to raise money for cancer!
Can we say that this weekend has been very inspiring for me? Not only is 62-year old Diana Nyad attempting to swim from Florida to Cuba, but Annaleise Carr at age 14 became the youngest person to complete a 31.6 mile swim across Lake Ontario, Sunday. How crazy is that?! I can barely doggy paddle across a regular pool let alone an entire body of water.
Carr wasn't just doing this trek because she wanted to get an intense workout in. Instead she was swimming for a charitable cause by raising money for a childhood cancer center called Camp Trillium. It's great to hear that there are still such giving people in the world and it's inspiring that they're willing to go to great lengths to prove how much they value something.
This dedicated teenager originally planned on raising about $30,000 for the camp, but fared much better than she thought, earning a total of about $80,000. Unbelievable! If I was her I'd call that a feat and she certainly earned it with her hard work.
Read more ¿Qué más?: Olympian will auction bronze medal to help sick 5-year-old girl!
Over 50 people have completed the swim across Lake Ontario, but Carr is the youngest to achieve the journey. Coincidentally, Diana Nyad also swam the body of water back in 1974 at the age of 24. Talk about some inspiring women!
But just keep in mind not just anyone can achieve a swim this intense. Carr has been swimming competitively since she was 4 with an expertise in distance swimming. She familiarized herself with the lake as she began swimming there about 4 years ago and then decided to swim its distance to raise money for a good cause.
Want to find other inspiring stories? Like us on Facebook!
Just reading Carr and Nyad's story inspires me to push my limits and do something life changing. Keep them in mind today as you're debating whether or not you want to hit the gym or if you want to push yourself that extra mile. If a senior citizen and a teenager can accomplish the hardest open water swims, you can run that extra mile.
Does Carr's journey inspire you to contribute to charity? Tell us in the comments below!

Mediterranean villa
On this project we completed before Hurricane Sandy, we transformed this home from a plain stucco home to a mediterranean villa. As the home was dated and in need of renovation, we tactled the entire home. All of the windows and terraces were replaced, the stucco repaired, skylights and roofing were also addressed. The Home in located across from the ocean and thankfully spared due to our due diligence. A great project overall.


text: does anyone have chest pain near your scar tissue? It can be sudden pain, burning feeling or general discomfort. I have had a recent heart cath, arteries are clean, they did heart mapping and heart function is fine, cardiologist said he didn't feel I would have any heart issues since my double bypass in Dec. 2010. But, I have chest pain on the right side, near my incesion. I can touch it and feel the soreness. It is sudden and can last days or weeks and then be gone. I am having home visits now as I am recovering from another surgery and the nurse suggested it is from the scar tissue. Has anyone experienced this? I have been to the cardiologist several times with the same issue and he said I can experience pain for up to a year but when it happens the question always arises...should I be concerned, is it my heart?
