"They Thought They'd Be Safe. They Were Wrong": 20 Gazans Killed in Israeli Bombing of U.N. Shelter
Dozens of Palestinian civilians have been killed in the most intensive 48-hour bombardment of Gaza so far. At least 50 Palestinians have died over the past day, bringing the death toll from Israel's three-week assault to more than 1,250. Earlier today, two bombs hit a school in the Jabaliya refugee camp used by the United Nations to house displaced Palestinians. Around 20 Palestinians were reportedly killed, including a medic and an infant. Scores were injured. The United Nations has accused Israel of bombing the school. It marks the sixth time a U.N. shelter has been attacked since Israel launched its offensive 23 days ago. We are joined from Gaza City by Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous, just back from visiting the bombed-out school.
Henry Siegman, Leading Voice of U.S. Jewry, on Gaza: "A Slaughter of Innocents"
Given his background, what American Jewish leader Henry Siegman has to say about Israel's founding in 1948 through the current assault on Gaza may surprise you. From 1978 to 1994, Siegman served as executive director of the American Jewish Congress, long described as one of the nation's "big three" Jewish organizations along with the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League. Born in Germany three years before the Nazis came to power in 1933, Siegman's family eventually moved to the United States. His father was a leader of the European Zionist movement that pushed for the creation of a Jewish state. In New York, Siegman studied the religion and was ordained as an Orthodox rabbi by Yeshiva Torah Vodaas, later becoming head of the Synagogue Council of America. After his time at the American Jewish Congress, Siegman became a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. He now serves as president of the U.S./Middle East Project. In the first of our two-part interview, Siegman discusses the assault on Gaza, the myths surrounding Israel's founding in 1948, and his own background as a German-Jewish refugee who fled Nazi occupation to later become a leading American Jewish voice and now vocal critic of Israel's policies in the Occupied Territories.
"When one thinks that this is what is necessary for Israel to survive, that the Zionist dream is based on the repeated slaughter of innocents on a scale that we're watching these days on television, that is really a profound, profound crisis — and should be a profound crisis in the thinking of all of us who were committed to the establishment of the state and to its success," Siegman says. Responding to Israel's U.S.-backed claim that its assault on Gaza is necessary because no country would tolerate the rocket fire from militants in Gaza, Siegman says: "What undermines this principle is that no country and no people would live the way that Gazans have been made to live. … The question of the morality of Israel's action depends, in the first instance, on the question, couldn't Israel be doing something [to prevent] this disaster that is playing out now, in terms of the destruction of human life? Couldn't they have done something that did not require that cost? And the answer is, sure, they could have ended the occupation."

Justin Timberlake Attends Marine Corps Ballby Free Britney at . Comments
Justin Timberlake and Kelsey de Santis attended a U.S. Marine Corps ball Saturday night. She's the Marine corporal who asked him to the event via YouTube in July.
Timberlake was snapped by a fellow Corps member looking dapper - and a little shell shocked - at the Richmond, Va., event, seated at a table surrounded by Marines.
The wife of one of the other U.S. Marines at the ball said that the singer/actor "posed for pictures and seemed like a normal guy," according to the N.Y. Daily News.
Here he is with his date:
De Santis, whose YouTube invite was inspired by Justin's encouragement of Friends With Benefits co-star Mila Kunis to accept a Marine's invite to a similar ball, was talking tough before the event, telling reporters she planned to challenge him.
"My friends all keep saying, 'Dance-off!' They know about my skills," she said, leaving the door open to things that might happen after. "Of course, I'm single! I don't know [if a kiss will happen]. That's all up to JT and what his plans are."
Here's the video that brought Justin to the event:
Mila Kunis is still planning to attend the Marine Corps ball she was invited to, as well. That event is slated for this coming Friday, November 18.
"Mai-Trang Thi Nguyen This female marine needs to chill out hanging out with dudes too much for she is beginning to look like a dude. Put on more skirts and dresses woman, you act like dude asking another dude out on a date." Pathetic. You think a woman is only a women if she dresses in skirts? How narrow minded! That proud marine doesn't need to change anything to satisfy the silly biases people like you have. Dresses and skirts do not make you a woman.
You need to chill and stow the out dated morality.
This female marine needs to chill out hanging out with dudes too much for she is beginning to look like a dude. Put on more skirts and dresses woman, you act like dude asking another dude out on a date.
You should know that Mila kunis' date isn't until Nov. 18 and it's been confirmed that she is going. They were invited to two different balls.
KUDOS Justin!! I praise you for having enough respect for your Country and the men and women that fight for our freedom. Good job! Too bad Mila Kunis didnt make it. I would of liked her so much more.

@ Free Britney,
Good Morning!!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful photo of Marine Corporal de Santis and her Marine Corps Ball date Justin. He appears to be enjoying the moment surrounded by The Few and The Proud.
This picture can be a reminder that stars don't have to come out of Hollywood. The medals that Kelsey has earned is a highlight of her career, and just think that ever a gentleman, Justin got to enjoy the evening with a totally different group of stars. BRAVO!!

text: Perry Indictment Looks 'Pretty Thin' "Fishy' and 'Sketchy' Say ...Far Left Libs? by Debra Heine 16 Aug 2014 View Discussion Share This: In what is being viewed as a blatant political hit-job, Governor Rick Perry was indicted yesterday for abuse of power for following through on his threat to veto funding for the Travis County District Attorney's public integrity unit. Perry was pressuring Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to leave office after she was arrested for driving while intoxicated last year and her disgraceful behavior made national headlines. In April 2013, Lehmberg was arrested after a witness called 911, describing her as driving erratically, swerving back and forth into the bike lane, and into oncoming traffic. Officers at the scene reportedly found an open bottle of vodka in her car, and a blood sample obtained later that evening purportedly showed a blood alcohol level of 0.239—almost three times the legal limit—even that many hours later. Not only did her arrest attracted headlines, but her belligerent behavior after she was brought to the police station—all captured on video tape—drew attention, as well. Lehmberg is seen blaming the police for destroying her political career, yelling and insulting them; demanding that they call Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton; sticking out her tongue; making faces; kicking at the door to her cell; and eventually getting restrained with leg irons, being strapped to a chair and wearing what is commonly referred to as a "spit mask," which is usually used when a detainee is spitting or biting. Many on the right are welcoming the indictment because they don't believe it will go anywhere and it may actually benefit Perry's political fortunes. In this nakedly partisan hit job, one party comes off looking much better than the other. Some on the left are thinking the same thing. Via Twitchy, Timothy Noah, "a left-of-center journalist and author who writes for MSNBC.com" warned Democrats to "proceed with caution." Even ThinkProgress thinks the Perry indictment looks fishy. Texas Democrats: I think you just messed up big time. http://t.co/QiE3VxGmy3 — Timothy Noah (@TimothyNoah1) August 16, 2014 I'm no fan of Rick Perry & I'm no lawyer. But this indictment looks pretty thin to me. Dems: Proceed with caution. https://t.co/w52PnCGYqT — Timothy Noah (@TimothyNoah1) August 16, 2014 Tom DeLay, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Rick Perry ... when's last time they prosecuted a prominent Texas Republican and actually made it stick? — Timothy Noah (@TimothyNoah1) August 16, 2014 This footage of Rosemary Lehmberg won't help Perry's prosecutors at trial. http://t.co/7vUELLxTEC — Timothy Noah (@TimothyNoah1) August 16, 2014 "The overarching goal is to indict Perry for something," @EricaGrieder wrote in April. http://t.co/cj2TA2Urna — Timothy Noah (@TimothyNoah1) August 16, 2014 Even David "the Red" Axelrod thinks the indictment is "pretty sketchy."

No more helping evacuees
Native firefighters vote to back away; Job a multimillion-dollar headache
OTTAWA -- The organization facing controversy over its handling of Manitoba native flood evacuees will no longer be involved in what has become a multimillion-dollar headache.
The board of the Manitoba Association of Native Firefighters, which is being audited by Ottawa to verify it has done what it said it has, voted late last week to pass a resolution to step away from helping evacuees and informed the provincial and federal governments Friday.
Manitoba Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson flew to Ottawa on Monday for an emergency meeting with federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt. The two governments are now engaged in talks with the Canadian Red Cross to take over the service.
"It's a pretty big story," Robinson said.
Ottawa is working with MANFF on a transition plan to the Red Cross, which will conduct an assessment of the needs of the evacuees going forward.
There are about 2,000 First Nations evacuees still living in hotels or private accommodations more than two years after floods in the spring of 2011 forced them from their homes. MANFF was tasked by Ottawa to co-ordinate the evacuations, which so far have cost Ottawa more than $70 million. Among MANFF's duties were registering most evacuees, finding and paying for hotel accommodations or reimbursing evacuees for rent paid for private accommodations, arranging food and delivering daily per diems.
Robinson said he was not surprised by the move, because MANFF has been asked to do something that, for the most part, falls beyond the scope of its abilities. MANFF's mandate is to provide training for firefighters and conduct fire-prevention work for Manitoba reserves, help prepare emergency-management plans for reserves and oversee emergency evacuations.
However, the organization is small and providing evacuation services to thousands of people over the course of two years has proven to be more than the organization could manage, one source said. MANFF has been subjected to repeated criticism for its handling of the evacuee file, however, and the federal government is currently engaged in a management review of the organization.
Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada insists the review is not a real audit but more a value-for-money examination.
Among the concerns were millions of dollars in unpaid bills to several hotels housing evacuees, excessive payments for food bills and allegations from some hotels MANFF staff were abusing their positions, such as hiring relatives as co-ordinators who then did little to actually help evacuees on site.
AANDC provides MANFF with $685,000 in operating funding each year. It also reimburses MANFF for most of the costs associated with evacuations including hotel fees, rent and food.
Ottawa is refusing to pay some of the costs MANFF has invoiced, including a $1-million bill for snacks from Mona Lisa Ristorante Italiano. The cost of snacks provided for evacuees in Winnipeg hotels grew from $10 per person in 2011 to almost $60 a person a year later. Ottawa deemed that price tag far beyond the scope of what was reasonable and said it would not cover it.
Retha Dykes, general manager of the Misty Lake Lodge in Gimli, said the Red Cross will be a welcome relief for her and others at the hotel.
"We would be ecstatic to deal with the Red Cross over MANFF," said Dykes. "I think this would be a welcome change for everybody."
She said the co-ordinators MANFF provides do almost nothing to help and rarely leave their rooms when on the premises.
Bertha Travers, an evacuee from Little Saskatchewan, has been pushing the governments to call in the Red Cross for months.
"The Red Cross has experience in humanitarian services and emergency management," she said. "I believe MANFF was ill-prepared (for the job.)"
The governments hope many evacuees may be able to start returning home by the end of the year.
Lake St. Martin, the one reserve that was entirely evacuated, is in final negotiations to move to higher ground adjacent to the existing land. A meeting is expected later this week to begin working on a community plan, and the residents need to vote in a referendum to accept the new location before much else can be done.
Manitoba and Ottawa have also agreed to share the $12-million cost of building new homes at Little Saskatchewan and will move 40 modular homes to higher ground near the reserve.
AANDC has also approved funds for new houses at Pinaymootang and Ebb and Flow, is working on long-term flood management at Peguis and is completing an assessment of flood damages in Dauphin River.

What would you look for in a school?

If you were moving to a new area and checking out the schools, (not necessarily sitting in the classroom), what are the things you would look for in the schools?
What things tell you that the school is "better" than another down the road? What things are different when you are looking at an elementary school vs middle school vs High school?
|Thu, 03-26-2009 - 9:50am
For me in elementary school, I would look for a school that has:
Artwork on the walls that hasn't been there for a long time (for example snowmen in May - would indicate a long time).
In the artwork itself, it is evident what the students were studying, but every picture has its own unique aspect. For example, do all the painted sun flowers look exactly the same, or are they variations on a theme?
I would peek into the classrooms and see if the desks were groups together in small bunches or lined up in neat rows and columns. I don't like the rows and column type of teaching. I like small group type of teaching.
Is the cafeteria out of control noisy or completely silent- both would be red flags to me. I would hope to see a medium noisy environment.
I would look to see if there was an active PTA and try to attend one of their meetings to see if it is a diva show or if there is a good working relationship between the Principal, teachers and parents.
I would look for a district that still has music and art classes.
I would look at the faces of the people working there. Are they smiling generally happy faces? Even if it is May (our schools end in June)?
I would look around at the general cleanliness of the place - at the end of the day. I would observe a recess to see how the kids play and interact with each other.
I would ask the Principal what his/her educational philosophy is and how it has changed through the years.
Those are of the top of my head and deal with more of the school culture than curriculum issues. It is not exhaustive.

I'd look for consistency in test scores all the way up, from elementary to high school. Many school principals really want to get their test scores up, so they'll focus on that, even having test coaching in place of other teaching. This happens at quite a few elementary schools around here. But when those children go to middle school, the scores collectively drop.
|Thu, 03-26-2009 - 3:36pm
Others have brought up many good points. We've also looked for schools with diversity and where parents are involved and encouraged to be involved in their kids' education. Probably the biggest thing for us has been finding schools that suit our kids' individual learning styles, personalities, and academic needs.
I don't have a high schooler yet, but in looking at middle schools, finding the right school for my older dd was very much about her learning style, interests, and academic strengths.
|Thu, 03-26-2009 - 3:49pm
We just did the hs dance with my oldest dd. The public school hs is perhaps academically superior to the one she chose, a parochial hs. She was attracted to the traditional academic program, the smaller school size, the school family feeling of the community, and the competitive athletic program that fits her skill level. She'd rather be a big fish in a small pond, than a slightly smaller fish is a large pond. I have no doubt that she'll be successful wherever she goes, but she got to choose the one she felt was the best fit for her.

The recession might finally be over for the refrigerated warehouse industry.
Operators in the U.S. and Canada expect revenue to grow more than 4 percent in 2013, according to a recent survey by the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses. Some of the growth will be from expanded capacity, but the IARW survey found that most of the businesses expect customer demand to boost growth.
The forecast contrasts sharply with a study done by the IARW in 2010, when member companies expected growth of less than 1 percent.
Companies now are finding financing for expansion, another sign the financial crisis is easing. IARW members, spread throughout 65 countries, report current total capacity of 121.5 million cubic meters of temperature-controlled space, 6.5 percent more than companies reported a year ago.
But the biggest change can be seen by comparing the group's Global Top 25 and North American Top 25 list to previous years. AmeriCold, the world's largest refrigerated warehouse company, has 958.5 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled space in Australia, China, the U.S., New Zealand and Argentina, up 5.2 percent from last year, but 61.3 percent higher than in 2009. Four years ago, AmeriCold had 591.6 million cubic feet of storage in the U.S. and Canada.
Lineage Logistics, now the second-largest cold storage company with 290 million cubic feet of storage, ranked seventh in 2012 when it had 127.5 million cubic feet. Lineage didn't even exist when the IARW put out its list in 2011.
Both companies grew quickly through acquisitions. Several years ago, AmeriCold acquired most of the assets of No. 2 VersaCold, which now operates only in Canada and is the world's eighth-largest reefer warehouse company, with 117.3 million cubic feet of storage.
Lineage was created by Bay Grove Capital, which has acquired nine U.S. cold-storage companies in the past three years and combined them under the Lineage banner last April. The largest company, Castle & Cooke, was added last summer and instantly doubled Lineage's size.
The buying spree continued this year, when Lineage added Seattle Cold Storage. Lineage this month also began operating two Tennessee cold-storage facilities with 9.6 million cubic feet of capacity for Rich Products.
It's hard to get a handle on exact market values in the industry because only one of the 25 largest companies is publicly traded and financial information on deals is rarely disclosed. No. 3 Swire Cold Storage and United States Cold Storage is owned by Swire Group, which is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
AmeriCold's majority investor is Yucaipa Cos., owned by billionaire Ron Burkle. As sole owner in 2009, Yucaipa announced an IPO to list AmeriCold on the New York Stock Exchange, but withdrew the offering. A second IPO offering aimed at the NASDAQ exchange would have been the stock market's largest IPO of 2010, but was also withdrawn.
Instead, Burkle raised $975 million in 2010 to buy 51 percent of VersaCold, having acquired 49 percent in 2009. The transaction was funded by raising $375 million from two new investors and issuing $600 million of fixed-rate debt.
One of those investors is China Merchants Holdings International, whose infusion followed a partnership between the two companies forming China Merchants AmeriCold, the largest cold-chain company in China.
A Burkle connection also exists in the creation of Lineage Logistics. Kevin Marchetti, managing director of Bay Grove Capital, was previously an investor with Burkle and Yucaipa and worked for Burkle while he was investing in AmeriCold.
Bay Grove invests in a number of industries, but Lineage is its biggest holding and one Marchetti says will grow. "We view food as a core fundamental market, and we view this company as a best-in-class logistics provider," he said. "Together, that makes Lineage a very attractive best-in-class investment. We want to be a thought leader in the industry and a service leader for our customers."
Three factors are driving consolidation in the historically fragmented industry, Marchetti said. "Large national customers want to simplify and reduce the number of logistics companies," he said. "It is a matter of efficiency on their part, so they want someone they can work with everywhere."
And costs for investing in the business are mounting and moving beyond the reach of many family owned businesses that historically dominated the industry. "The cost for infrastructure is growing," Marchetti said. "Our business is highly capital-intensive, requiring investment costs for land, construction, labor, materials and equipment before the warehouse can even operate. Larger companies have the financial wherewithal to fund expansion and growth."
Government requirements also are driving industry consolidation. "There are more and more food safety regulations, and the cost continues to increase to be compliant," Marchetti said. Larger companies can be more efficient by spreading the cost of the safety training and infrastructure across a large company, and new growth allows us to leverage our best-in-class practice more efficiently."
Although market geography matters, Marchetti said he's mostly driven to acquire companies that are best-in-class and run by industry leaders. He says he's still seeking additions to the company. "We are always looking around opportunistically. We would like to add additional geographies within our network to provide greater flexibility and options for customers, but mostly we are looking for best-in-class companies in robust markets," Marchetti said.
One strategy the company uses focusing operations around major seaports. "We see the consistent expansion in global trade and sourcing of products internationally," Marchetti said. "Commerce continues to grow, and it makes sense to contribute to that growth."
Short-term growth likely will be focused in North America, but he said Lineage wants to expand internationally. "We certainly intend to grow into other countries," Marchetti said, but any transactions would have to be preceded by "a lot of homework and diligence."
Marchetti said the industry is fragmented not just in terms of company size, but also scope of work, with customers dealing with separate companies for transportation, storage and other parts of the process. "We offer many complementary services to cold storage right now, including blast freezing, custom services, repackaging and transportation," he said. "We want to figure out how to be a one-stop solution for our customers and continue to find ways to be a value-added partner who makes their lives easier."
Those expanded services may be done directly or in partnership with other companies, he said.
One market research firm said it expects market consolidation to continue in the refrigerated warehouse industry, but not at the rapid pace seen in the last five years. "Among the leaders in the industry, I don't expect mergers, but the larger companies will continue to acquire smaller companies," said Irshad Ali, researcher with Lucintel. The Irving, Texas-based company in April published a report analyzing the five-year period to 2017 called "Global Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage Industry 2012-2017: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis."
Lucintel's growth forecast, which exceeds the IARW's, estimates global refrigerated warehousing revenue will reach $130 billion by 2017, a 34.9 percent increase from the 2011 base of $96.4 billion.
That increase will come not only from expanded capacity but also through diversifying business with freight transportation and increasing value-added service options. "What we're seeing is the drivers coming from frozen food, pharmaceuticals, dairy products, frozen fish and game," Ali said. "A big driver for growth is technology development in the food industry and an increase in the prepared food market. Microwaveable meals are a global phenomenon these days, not just a trend in the U.S."
The strongest growth potential is seen in the Asia-Pacific region as the retail market grows and becomes available to millions more customers. "Ready-made meals and pharma are relatively new there, and it is spurring a lot of growth," Ali said.
Lucintel expects the frozen food business to grow 18 percent in North America, 15 percent in Europe and 13 percent in Asia-Pacific from the 2011 base through 2018. The rest of the world is expected to grow 19 percent.
Lucintel expects pharmaceuticals to grow by bigger margins from the 2011 base through 2017, 28 percent in North America, 23 percent in Europe, 46 percent in Asia-Pacific and 48 percent in the rest of the world.
China's cold chain will continue to develop, but Ali said he didn't expect major growth in Tier 3 or 4 cities," he said. "The biggest expansion will remain in the coastal regions near port areas. We expect the market in China to focus on using trucks for distribution of the product to inland regions."
The biggest development in the Chinese market in the next few years will be growth in refrigerated trucking, he said. "The retail companies have their own refrigerated trucks, and they are viewing them as portable refrigerated warehouses," Ali said. "This is where they are going to expand because everything in the truck can be very tightly controlled just as if it was in a stationary warehouse."
In such a rapidly expanding market, companies view trucks as portable warehouses that can be taken where needed with the option of parking a truck anywhere.

I love staying in hotels, I like the non-commitment of it. I love to explore the room, the features, the amenities, the hospitality, the view, the local surroundings, the fact that for once I'm not the one doing the cleaning. But some things do irritate me and here is a quick list.
- No free wifi. Or no wifi in your room but only in common parts (this is so frequent). Wifi is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Difficult wifi where you need a million logins and passwords to get into it in the first place (we aren't all paedos) and then jumps out if you pause for a minute.
- No bottle of water next to the bed. So many hotels don't. People get thirsty in the night.
- Early breakfast hours. As a freelance, I don't have to get up early at home why would I want to do that in a hotel when I'm ostensibly supposed to be having a holiday or at least a nice time. Stressful.
- Crap breakfasts: unimaginative muesli. Discount yoghurts. Cooked breakfasts. Sunny Delight rather than proper orange juice. They always assume everyone wants a full English cooked breakfast. No. I don't want to eat a big fatty meal at that time of morning. Small cups. I like big cups, mugs. And the worst: no marmite. There is never any marmite. Pretty much never.
- Awful vending machines. If you are going to have a vending machine then stock good stuff. I actually think fizzy drinks like coke should only used on special occasions, the odd night out or on holiday. (It's incredible to think that some people drink sodas several times a day: this would also be on my list of why young people have bad teeth. None of them drink tea anymore. Badly brought up.)
- Over-fussy bedcovers. So depressing. They are probably chosen to hide the dirt. The bedcovers in Alaskan hotels were particularly grim. You'd want folky patchwork covers or bear skins or something, but you got old lady nasty fabrics.
- Noisy air-conditioners. Air-conditioners that you can't figure out how to make work.
- Noisy fridges. I just pull the plug out.
- NO conditioner. Anyone would think the world was run by men. Women often have long hair. When you have long hair and you shampoo it, it becomes a tightly-knit fuzz around your scalp. You need conditioner to untangle it, if you try to do it with a comb or brush you tear it. Conditioner is a medical necessity. Oh yeah, and if you were thinking 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner was sufficient, think again. It's not. It's crap at both shampooing and particularly at conditioning. Again I've noticed that's a short hair/man thing.
- Bathroom mirrors placed too high. Anyone would think builders are all men. A mirror where I can only see the top/dome of my head is no good to me.
- Too high showers. Anyone would think the world is designed by tall people (i.e. men). If I stand in a tall shower, by the time the water gets to my body it is a but a thin mist-like spray.
- Hairs in the bath or sink. Yuck. They are so often left there by the cleaning staff.
- Terrible dining. Most of the worst and overpriced restaurants in the world are attached to hotels. Often you get that corporate businessmen's dining: mock Michelin star crap. It's nice however when the hotel restaurant agrees to serve you pudding in bed as recently happened to me.
- A fixed TV in the corner that is miles away from your bed. I mean c'mon. One of the luxuries of staying in a hotel is TV in bed.
- Good in-room snacks that aren't too expensive. The Ace hotel in Portland had great snacks: artisanal nachos, great salsa, a boutique chocolate bar, some home-made peanut butter cups.
- No tea facilities, particularly in foreign hotels. In America you sometimes get coffee facilities (but often unworkable). And too few milks. Or even, as in America, no milk. If they know the guest is British, they should put tea and milk in the room.
- Freezing swimming pools. I stayed in a Cape Town hotel this year where they had an outside pool which was literally ice cold, even though the weather was good. Torture. Plus they had loads of horrible splashy kids threatening to splash you with said ice-cold water. An ordeal.
- Being treated as if I don't exist just because I'm a woman travelling on my own. This doesn't frequently happen but it does often enough to mention it here. Standing at reception and being ignored because they think you are the little woman behind the suited-up man standing there. So even if there is more staff, they ignore you.
What drives you crazy about hotels? What do you like to see in a hotel?

Does anyone know you are TTC?
|Thu, 08-25-2011 - 5:22pm
Have you told family or friends that you are TTC or are you keeping it private?
|Sat, 08-27-2011 - 8:00pm
My midwife and 1 co-worker (who had problems conceiving, also) are pretty much the only people who know for sure we are TTC. Others know my DH and I want to TTC (or at least know we are considering it). However, they don't know we are actively TTC. My friends and family have been an absolute great support system for us after Alayna died and I'm sure they'd continue that same support if they knew we were TTC...but I'm just not one to go "public" with the intimate details of my sexual life. My family is very open with me in stating that they hope we have a baby soon, so I'm sure they suspect it, but like I said, I've yet to confirm those suspicions. Ideally, no one will know we are even pregnant until I'm through my first trimester.

Sandy has done a lot of talking with very little action thus far. Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson has not given the Mets fans much to be thankful for so far this offseason. It is almost the end of┬ĀNovember,┬Āand all he has done is make a few minor league signings. At this point itŌĆÖs tough to say whether or not the players he has signed thus far are going to help us next year or not. But from the looks of the numbers those players have put up over their careers, it does not look promising. And thatŌĆÖs putting it nicely. There is plenty of time for things to change, but I am starting to think more and more that this is what we are going to see all offseason. I donŌĆÖt believe Alderson will make any significant free agent additions. The only way he will make a significant addition to this team is via trades, and I wonŌĆÖt believe that is going to happen until I see it.

Gear Alert
|I was climbing here a couple of weeks ago on that unnamed 5.9 that's only 3 bolts. I was toproping, and as I went to clean the route, I pulled a pretty big chunk of rock off right below the anchors. I don't know for certain if it compromised the integrity of the anchors, but I didn't trust it much (since I was up there!). It wasn't that the anchors were going or anything, but it was scary how easily I yanked off that big chunk. It just makes me wonder a bit about the rock that the anchors are drilled in to. I'm no rock master or anything, but I would suggest either not climbing it at all, and if you absolutely have to, then don't toprope it and rap off the anchors when you clean it. I'm probably being overly cautious here, and I'm sure it's probably fine, but I would feel awful if people didn't at least know about it and something did happen. Sorry to post as an "anonymous coward!" I don't have much time to set up a name.

Assault on I-89 reported Saturday
WATERBURY Vermont State Police are looking for information about an assault and attempted robbery Saturday at a rest area on Interstate 89 in Waterbury.
State police say they received a call from Bryon Stueber, 25, of Northfield, saying he was at the rest area on I-89 northbound when a male approached him asking for help changing a tire. Stueber told state police that when he approached the mans vehicle, the man assaulted him and a second man tried to take Stuebers wallet.
Stueber told state police he was struck several times in the head and was stabbed with a kitchen-type knife. The pair then left the scene.
Stueber was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Both men are described as white, with one estimated to stand 5 feet 9 inches tall with a slender build and a scruffy dark beard and hair. The other man is described as 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall with a slender build, dark hair and a buzz cut.
The vehicle is described as a smaller four-door sedan with Vermont license plates.

As electric utilities move ever closer to all-out competition, senior executives are streamlining their organizations, reducing spending, and developing strategic plans to ensure their company's...
Moving Off the Mainframe
computer software purchased from a commercial source or another utility can be tested, interfaced, and converted. The package can be installed "as is." You adopt certain functions and processes, and revise other procedures within your company to fit the new package. At the other end of the spectrum, you can modify the package to meet the specific needs of your company before testing and conversion. These options affect cost, depending on how well all the pieces fit. In practice though, it can prove difficult to gauge the "fit" before choosing the system. Being wrong can have major consequences.
Building a new custom-designed CIS to fit company needs is almost always the slowest and most costly alternative. Custom design calls for important decisions up front. Should we change all at once, piece by piece, or function by function? Which hardware platform? Do we run on a mainframe (already proven) or convert to "client/server" (unproven) technology?
Client/Server Benefits
If you want to move off the mainframe but retain as much as you can of your old system and codes, you can simply "re-platform" or "re-host" your existing CIS. This approach usually combines a single, heavy-duty computer with a UNIX operating system. Or, you can re-design your CIS from the ground up using parallel server processing technology.
Given past experience in the utility industry, a stand-alone CIS mainframe fully configured for a large utility will probably cost about $10 million. That figure might buy 200-250 MIPS (millions of instructions per second) and 1,000 gigabytes (GB) of disk storage (one gigabyte equals one billion characters). To buy 4,000 MIPS and 1,000 GB with fully configured software in a client/server environment might run as low as $1 million dollars (em a 10-to-1 advantage.
Software licenses in today's mainframe world are significant. For example, a utility can expect to pay somewhere around $3 million per year in system software license fees. Hardware maintenance may run about 8 percent of the purchase price annually. For the hypothetical mainframe proposed above, this would mean $800,000 a year over the life of the system. However, in a nonmainframe environment, a plan to gradually renew hardware by replacing the most outdated components with modern versions would seem prudent. For example, a utility might plan to replace the whole system every five years, maintaining the newest technologies, at a cost of about $200,000 each year.
But the greatest advantage in moving off the mainframe lies in human resources. Yes, workstations cost money. But whenever open, modular, downsized client/ server technologies are introduced, productivity climbs. Energy and enthusiasm start to rise. Today's information-processing professionals no longer want to be mired in mainframe-based systems. With new challenges, new things to learn, plus systems that look good and feel good to users, you have the main ingredients needed to build job satisfaction.
Long Weekends
For many years and at many companies, CIS conversions have meant rapid "Big Bang" conversions. Taking a single long weekend to convert the entire CIS usually involves the least cost, the fewest risks. But what if there isn't a weekend long enough

In about 18 months, Central Washington University's Science Phase II will become the newest facility on the Ellensburg campus. During this year's legislative session, $61 million was allocated for the facility, with an additional $6 million to connect the facility to university information, power, and other utilities.
See a video of what Science Phase II will look like
Science Phase II completes a project conceived and launched more than 15 years ago. Science Phase I was completed in 1999. The new facility will house three high-demand programs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM): the Department of Physics, Department of Geological Sciences, and Center for Excellence in Science and Math Education.
Science II will be built in the parking lot adjacent to the Japanese Garden on the Ellensburg campus. It will join Science I and Dean Halls in the southwest quadrant, known as the "Science Neighborhood."
The next step in the process is finalizing drawings, specifications, and the project timeline, and beginning the process required by the State Environmental Policy Act. The university expects to award a contract for construction by next January.

As more attendees carry their smartphones and tablets with them everywhere they go, meeting planners have faced a challenging task: increase engagement while overcoming an increased number of distractions. At Convening Leaders 2013, the PCMA Meetings Team embraced the potential of all those bright screens.
"Our Education Team had session development calls with speakers, and many of them indicated that they wanted to do some audience polling," Ann Johnson, associate director, programs, PCMA, says. "It was clear that more and more people are interested in this engagement tactic, so we partnered with Freeman to find the right solution."
That solution was Poll Everywhere, a web-based technology with pricing that allows meeting planners to collect 2,500 responses per poll for just $375 per month. Attendees can submit their answers via text messages, web pages or Twitter.
Every meeting planner can agree that any new technology brings a certain degree of uncertainty.
"There were a few nerve-racking moments," Johnson says. "When we first used the technology in the opening session with Morten Hansen, there was a bit of a delay before the poll began to populate."
SEE ALSO: Convening Leaders, Defining Innovation
For planners using the technology, Johnson says it's important to help speakers understand the potential for a slight delay.
"When there is a large group of people responding at once, it's a bandwidth issue," Johnson says.
"You don't want your speaker to panic," Johnson adds. "Take a deep breath, and be patient. Be sure to have a couple of comments to use as filler as you wait for responses to begin rolling in."
Morten Hansen's speech collected the highest number of responses, but PCMA used Poll Everywhere in 15 more sessions, too.
"A general session setting is perfect for Poll Everywhere, but the technology can be just as powerful in small group settings," Johnson says. "You can offer everyone a chance to weigh in even if they don't want to raise their hands and ask questions."
Poll Everywhere's social Q & A function gave Convening Leaders attendees the ability to do much more than simply respond. In four of the sessions, attendees could also submit text questions to moderators.
While the PCMA Meetings Team was focused on enhancing the on-site experience at Convening Leaders, Johnson says that giving virtual attendees a chance to feel part of the action was an important factor in selecting the right polling technology.
"You can arrange audience response systems on a closed network in your building, but we specifically wanted to include our attendees logged in around the world," Johnson says. "Because Poll Everywhere is web-based, we could give everyone with a connection a chance to be part of the action."
