text: Affirming No. 95-UC-04 & -05 Reversed, CV-95-311 STATE OF MAINE MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Case No. 95-UCA-02 Issued: September 6, 1995 ____________________________ ) TOWN OF LISBON, ) ) Appellant, ) ) v. ) DECISION AND ORDER ) ON UNIT CLARIFICATION APPEAL TEAMSTERS UNION LOCAL 340, ) ) Appellee. ) ____________________________) This unit clarification proceeding was initiated by a petition filed by the Teamsters Union Local 340 (hereinafter referred to as "Teamsters") on October 27, 1994, requesting inclusion of the newly-created position of Solid Waste Supervisor in the existing collective bargaining unit of Public Works employees. The Town of Lisbon ("Town") opposes this accretion, and contends there is no community of interest between the Solid Waste Supervisor and other unit positions. The Town then filed a petition for unit clarification on November 9, 1994, requesting that the positions of Shop Supervisor and Highway Foreman be removed from the Public Works employees' unit on the basis of greatly enhanced supervisory duties. The union contends that these two positions, which have been included in the bargaining unit since 1981, should remain in that unit because their community of interest with other unit positions remains unchanged. The petitions were consolidated and an evidentiary hearing on the merits of both petitions was conducted on January 27, 1995. The unit clarification report which is the subject of this appeal was issued on May 11, 1995. The Town appealed the report on May 25, 1995, and submitted a Memorandum of Appeal on May 30, 1995. The Town challenges the hearing examiner's determination that the Shop Supervisor and the Highway Foreman continue to -1- share a community of interest with non-supervisory employees in the Public Works unit and, therefore, should remain in that bargaining unit. The Town also challenges the hearing examiner's determination that the Solid Waste Supervisor should be included in this same unit in that he shares a strong community of interest with the two other supervisors and his inclusion is consistent with the Board's policy of discouraging the unnecessary proliferation of small bargaining units. The Board, comprised of Chair Peter T. Dawson, Employer Representative Howard C. Reiche, Jr., and Alternate Employee Representative Gwendolyn Gatcomb, heard oral argument and deliberated this matter on July 6, 1995. The Town is represented by Roger R. Therriault, Esq., and the Teamsters by Carl Guignard, Business Agent. JURISDICTION The Town of Lisbon is an aggrieved party within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 968(4), and is a public employer within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 962(7) (Supp. 1994). Teamsters Union Local 340 is the bargaining agent within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. 962(2) of the unit of Public Works employees of the Town of Lisbon. The jurisdiction of the Maine Labor Relations Board to hear this appeal and to render a decision herein lies in 26 M.R.S.A. 968(4) (Supp. 1994). FINDINGS OF FACT Neither party has taken exception with any material finding of fact contained in the hearing examiner's unit clarification report issued on May 11, 1995.fn1 Those findings of fact are hereby incorporated in and made a part hereof. _______________ 1 The Town cites two factual errors on pages seven and eight of its Memorandum of Appeal related to hourly wage rates and a bargaining unit which is no longer in existence. We decline to resolve these factual disputes in that neither is determinative of our decision in this appeal. -2- DISCUSSION Petitions for unit clarification are subject to the provisions of 26 M.R.S.A. 966(3) and the Board's Rules and Procedures, Rule 1.16. The statute requires the party seeking to include or exclude positions from a bargaining unit to show that circumstances surrounding the formation of the existing bargaining unit have changed sufficiently to warrant the requested modification. Similarly, our decisions have delineated the requirements necessary to prevail in a petition for unit clarification: [The requirement for changed circumstances] is a threshold question on which the petitioner in a unit clarification proceeding "bears the burden of alleging the requisite change and, further, of establishing the occurrence of said change in the unit then at issue." MSAD No. 14 and East Grand Teachers Association, No. 83-A-09, slip op. at 7, 6 NPER 20-14036 (Me.L.R.B. Aug. 24, 1983) (quoting from State of Maine and MSEA, No. 82-A-02, slip op. at 16, 6 NPER 20-14035 (Me.L.R.B. June 2, 1983)) (Interim Order). The standard by which we review a hearing examiner's unit clarification report is also well established: We will overturn a hearing examiner's rulings and determinations if they are "unlawful, unreasonable, or lacking in any rational factual basis." It is thus not proper for us to substitute our judgment for the hearing examiner's; our function is to review the facts to determine whether the hearing examiner's decisions are logical and are rationally supported by the evidence. AFSCME, Council 93 and Town of Sanford, No. 92-UDA-03, slip op. at 4 (Me.L.R.B. May 7, 1992); State of Maine and AFSCME Council 93, No. 91-UCA-02, slip op. at 2 (Me.L.R.B. Feb. 21, 1991), aff'd on other grounds, Bureau of Employee Relations v. Maine Labor Relations Board, 611 A.2d 59 (Me. 1992). -3- We will first address the Town's petition requesting removal of the positions of Shop Supervisor and Highway Foreman from the existing bargaining unit. The gist of the Town's petition is that there is an inherent conflict when supervisors are permitted to join forces with their subordinates, both in terms of their relative status and in the collective bargaining process. The Town appeals to the Board to acknowledge the realities of today's economy and the evolving role of first-line supervisors in a changing labor-management relationship. The Town contends that the Board will limit the Town's ability to effectively manage and negotiate if these supervisors, or "working foremen," are not on management's side of the bargaining table. We are mindful of the current economic realities and the public's interest in "getting more for less" from its government. We understand the need for public employers to require their supervisors to do more than oversee the job performance of their subordinates. This present-day reality does not, however, preclude placement of supervisors in bargaining units with their subordinates in every case. The Municipal Public Employees Labor Relations Law recognizes that in some situations supervisors ought to be excluded from bargaining units comprised of subordinate employees. Section 966(1) of the statute specifically sets forth the types of duties which may preclude a supervisor from joining forces with subordinates, if such duties are "the principal functions of the position": In determining whether a supervisory position should be excluded from the proposed bargaining unit, the executive director or his designee shall consider, among other criteria, if the principal functions of the position are characterized by performing such management control duties as scheduling, assigning, overseeing and reviewing the work of subordinate employees, or performing such duties as are distinct and dissimilar from those performed by the employees supervised, or exercising judgment in adjusting grievances, applying other established personnel -4- policies and procedures and in enforcing a collective bargaining agreement or establishing or participating in the establishment of performance standards for subordinate employees and taking corrective measures to implement those standards. 26 M.R.S.A. 966(1). In order to prevail in its petition, the Town must establish there has been a substantial change in the positions in question, with regard to the functions enumerated above, and that there no longer exists the community of interest between them and the remaining members of the Public Works unit that existed when the unit was formed in 1981. We note at the outset that the Town does not seek to exclude these supervisors on the basis of the exemption found in 26 M.R.S.A. 962(6)(C).fn2 Nor does the Town contend that these supervisors should be removed from the unit because they are "professional employees."fn3 The Town argued before the Board that these supervisors serve a vital role for management as information sources for bargaining issues; however, there is no evidence on the record that this issue was explored with witnesses or that the parties were given the opportunity to develop and challenge the evidentiary basis for this argument. Although a supervisor's role in bargaining, if established through competent evidence in the proceeding below, is relevant to the "distinct and dissimilar" analysis required by section 966(1) and could persuade us to assign supervisors to a separate unit from their immediate subordinates, no such evidence exists _______________ 2 Any person whose duties as deputy, administrative assistant or secretary necessarily imply a confidential relationship to the executive head, body, department head or division head is not considered a "public employee" for purposes of this law. 3 26 M.R.S.A. 966(2) provides that no unit shall include both professional and nonprofessional employees unless a majority of such professional employees vote for inclusion in such unit. The term "professional employee" is defined in 26 M.R.S.A. 962(5) and includes, inter alia, any employee engaged in work involving the consistent exercise of discretion and judgment in its performance. -5- on this record.fn4 Similarly, the Town's petition asserts a "potentiality of problems involving supervision" and the "develop[ment of] a tension in having the work supervisor as part of the bargaining unit." If there was any evidence of this actually being the case in Lisbon the Board might have been persuaded that a community of interest no longer exists in this unit. The record is devoid of any evidence of actual conflict caused by the inclusion of these two positions in the bargaining unit over the last fourteen years. While the newly-appointed Solid Waste Supervisor anticipates such problems, the persons employed in the other two supervisory positions for quite some time have not experienced any impediment to their ability to effectively manage their subordinates and prefer to remain in this unit. See M.S.A.D. No. 14 and East Grand Teachers Association, No. 83-A-09, slip op. at 17, 6 NPER 20-14036 (Me.L.R.B. Aug. 24, 1983). (Unit decisions are based on the employees' actual duties and responsibilities and not on the basis of future intended responsibilities.) The hearing examiner's finding that the Shop Supervisor and Highway Foreman continue to share a clear and identifiable community of interest with employees in the Public Works unit, which is not outweighed by any conflict of employment interests, is logical and rationally supported by the evidence on the record. The Town has failed to meet its burden of showing a substantial change in the principal functions of these two positions since they were originally included in the bargaining unit in 1981. _______________ 4 We have recognized the potential for conflicts of interest and of loyalty when supervisors and their subordinates are in the same bargaining unit in the case of Richmond Employees Association and Town of Richmond, No. 94-UD-09, slip op. at 28-29 (Me.L.R.B. Apr. 26, 1994). Nevertheless, the statute requires a showing of a substantial change in this regard before the Board may remove supervisors from existing units and there is no evidence that this is the case in Lisbon. -6- We now turn our attention to the union's petition for inclusion of the newly-created position of Solid Waste Supervisor. We have held in the past that the creation of a new job classification is a change that is usually deemed sufficient to satisfy the threshold requirement of "substantial change." See Portland Public Library Staff Association and Portland Public Library, No. 88-UC-03, slip op. at 9 (Me.L.R.B. June 2, 1988). We see no reason to make an exception here. The Town raises the same objections to this position's inclusion in the unit as it does for the other two supervisory positions. While this supervisor, arguably, has less of a community of interest with his subordinates than do the other two, the hearing examiner's finding that he shares a strong community of interest with the other two supervisors in the unit is supported by the evidence. This community of interest is the primary basis for the hearing examiner's conclusion that the Solid Waste Supervisor should be included in this unit. Contrary to the Town's contention at oral argument, the Board's policy against the unnecessary proliferation of small bargaining units is not the determining factor in our decision to include this supervisor in the existing unit. It is an important factor, nonetheless. We take this occasion to reiterate our firmly-held belief that the creation of small units does nothing to advance the important public policy set forth in Section 961 of the Law to promote the improvement of the relationship between public employers and their employees. See M.S.A.D. 60 Teachers Assoc./MTA/NEA and M.S.A.D. 60 Board of Directors, No. 89-UD-13 (Me.L.R.B. Sept. 8, 1989). We hold that, in addition to the traditional justifica- tion for our policy that small bargaining units require the public employer and the bargaining agent to expend as much, if not more, time and money in negotiating and administering collec- tive bargaining agreements as do larger units, an additional -7- rationale for our policy is the concept of the viable bargaining unit within the context of the particular employer organization. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and discussion and by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor Relations Board by the provisions of 26 M.R.S.A. 968(4) (Supp. 1994), it is ORDERED: that the May 25, 1995 appeal of the Town of Lisbon, filed with respect to the May 11, 1995 unit clarifica- tion report in Case Nos. 95-UC-04 & -05, is denied and the report is affirmed as set forth above. Dated at Augusta, Maine, this 6th day of September, 1995. MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD The parties are hereby advised /s/_______________________________ of their right, pursuant to Peter T. Dawson 26 M.R.S.A. 968(4) (Supp. Chair 1994), to seek review of this Decision and Order on Unit Clarification Appeal by the Superior Court. To initiate /s/_______________________________ such a review an appealing Howard C. Reiche, Jr. party must file a complaint Employer Representative with the Superior Court within fifteen (15) days of the date of announcement hereof, and otherwise comply with the __________________________________ requirements of Rule 80C of Gwendolyn Gatcomb the Maine Rules of Civil Alternate Employee Procedure.

November 21, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A dancer who worked with Michael Jackson says she expressed concerns about the singer's health as he prepared for a series of planned comeback concerts.
Dancer and choreographer Alif Sankey told a jury hearing a lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother that the pop star appeared thin and unprepared for the rigors of the shows.
She testified that a month before Jackson's June 2009 death, she wrote an email to tour director Kenny Ortega urging him to try to improve the singer's health and spirits. She says she never received a reply.
Sankey worked with Jackson beginning on his music video for 1987's "Smooth Criminal" and was an associate producer on the singer's planned comeback tour "This Is It."
She is testifying in a negligent hiring trial filed by Jackson's mother against concert promoter AEG Live LLC.

Plea for more adult volunteers to support Cumbria's Scouts
Last updated at 14:28, Friday, 09 May 2014
Increasing numbers of young Cumbrians are becoming Scouts – and more adult volunteers are needed to support them.
The annual Scouting census has revealed the organisation's membership has grown nationally for the ninth successive year.
That trend's been mirrored in Cumbria, with just over 4,200 young people now members of the movement in the county.
In the Reivers District, which covers Carlisle and the surrounding area, membership has increased by two per cent in the past 12 months, taking its total to 832.
Rising membership rates has brought with it rising demand for adult support so that even more youngsters can sign up to Scouting and enjoy its activities.
The number of adults volunteering with the movement has jumped by 136 in the past eight years to 704 – growing by 60 per cent to 140 in the Reivers' area in the past seven years.
But the plea for more adults who can give some time continues.
Niki Iveson, a Scout leader from Carlisle, is among those shouting for support.
"Being a Scout leader is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done," she said.
"It's something I can do on a flexible basis when I have enough time to spare. It's great helping young people get the most out of life and watching then develop week in, week out.
"I've also picked up loads of transferable skills that I'm able to use in my job and wider life."
And it's not just younger children who are sticking with Scouting.
Across Cumbria, the organisation's teenager membership has increased by 19 per cent in the past.
The influence of television adventurer Bear Grylls as chief Scout has been credited with attracting more teenagers, many of whom are young leaders in other sections of the movement.
Mr Grylls says he's "super proud" at the successes in Cumbria.
More girls are taking part too. Female membership in the past 13 years has risen from 111 to 639 across Cumbria – and from 20 to 157 in the Carlisle area. Countywide, more than 40 female Scouts have signed up in the past year.
The movement, whose image has evolved greatly in the past decade, still embraces camping and its other traditional pursuits.
It also embraces a lot of other adventure, with young members able to enjoy activities including glider flights, skiing and rock climbing.
In the Carlisle area, work has been enhanced by on-going upgrades at the organisation's Ratlingate centre at Kirkandrews-on-Eden, where a new adventure barn was unveiled earlier this year. Young members say their involvement in Scouting has had a real impact on their lives.
Ben Goodman, a 17-year-old Explorer Scout from Carlisle, said: "Getting involved in Scouting is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I get the opportunity to take part in so many different things and get involved in helping my community, raising money for good causes and taking part in community events."
Chris Mells, also 17, and an Explorer Scout from Kirkby Stephen, added: "I've enjoyed a huge wealth of activities which have really built me as a person, inspired me and created new friendships."
Nationally, the Scout Association is launching a plan to recruit another 58,000 young people, as well as 18,000 more adult volunteers by 2018. Its current membership total is 550,000.

People in Charlottesville had the opportunity to celebrate and see a new partnership between local schools and the University of Virginia.
Charlottesville's Buford Middle School hosted a ribbon cutting and open house for the Buford Engineering Design Academy.
Buford is the first public school in the Commonwealth Engineering Design Academies, a lab school partnership with the UVa's School of Engineering and Applied Science and Curry School of Education.
The project is pairing UVa professors with Charlottesville and Albemarle public school teachers and students. Classrooms link via video to the partner lab at UVa, allowing UVa professors and students to offer lessons and create ideas for the participating schools.
This network of labs, professors, teachers, and students will form the Commonwealth Engineering Design Academies.
"I think all schools are gonna benefit from it. Hopefully, this will serve as a model to a lot of schools in America that, you know, this type of learning, this type of facility, is gonna advance kids' learning," said Eric Johnson, the Buford Middle School Principal.
"A UVa student comes and she actually helps us in the engineering classroom along with our teacher. And they both help us," said Lamia West, a Buford 8th grader. "So, they're teaching us more. So, we're learning so much more with UVa."
People who toured the new labs were able to see speaker systems that students developed using a 3D-printed design, along with other demonstrations.
Charlottesville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Rosa Atkins, Charlottesville Mayor Huja, professors from the UVa Curry School of Engineering and the Curry School, and others spoke before the ribbon cutting.
"It's good to see all the people come together and it's a sense of community. I feel very proud to be a part of a community that values education the way the city of Charlottesville does," said Johnson.
The Buford Engineering Design Academy will be followed by similar high-tech labs at Charlottesville High School, Albemarle County's Jack Jouett Middle School, and Albemarle High School.
"It means a lot. You know, we talk about we love our kids, we care for our kids, we're very passionate for our kids. Well, it's time for us to go beyond words. I think the city of Charlottesville, the citizens, and now we're at the action phase, and I think you're gonna see that our kids, they're gonna produce," said Johnson.
The labs have been open at Buford for about two weeks and West is already learned a lesson she thinks she'll remember.
"It's been amazing. I think it's been a awesome experience and I've learned so much," said West. "I am the type of person that likes to be perfect. And, one thing my engineering teacher taught me is, it's engineering, you're gonna mess up quite a few times but that's just the learning experience. So that is one thing that has really stuck with me. And I probably will never forget it."
"It's quality. And, so, the kids love it. They appreciate it. The teachers, you know, they benefit from it as well. So, we all appreciate all the things people have done for the labs," said Johnson.

As much as I ache for love, I fear it, and I'm at a loss for how to proceed.
I am naive. I am inexperienced. I am afraid.
I am too much of a coward to admit it to those who deserve to know.
I am a clusterfuck.
CancerousYou are the cigarette between my lips - the smoke that creeps it's way into my lungs.Cancerous by FlyMeAway4nb8
Toxic. Addictive.
My yearning for your ruin has turned to self-harm, as I no longer resist the satisfaction that your blight brings.
How does destruction create such a feeling of comfort?
You wrap yourself around my lungs, infesting and tainting the air I breathe.
Warm. Soothing. Suffocating.
The day fades away as I drag on.
Time halts.
Embers burn.
My soul attempts to make sense of the whispers that pass my parted lips.
Inhale one poison.
Exhale another.
InfestationMemories, music, quotesInfestation by FlyMeAway4nb8
the small things
keep us awake at night and
infest our dreams.
So here we are,
hiding from our own fear of the past.
Watching cars drive by
while we search for the stars,
we're waiting on fate to heal old scars.
|I write what's on my mind and find myself wherever my feet take me.


text: Et tu, Kid Rock? by Christian Toto 19 Jan 2009 post a comment Share This: Wasn't Kid Rock one of the few pop stars not to pledge allegiance to the destruction of President Bush? The Bush daughters even wanted him to play at the 2005 presidential inauguration concert. Now, it seems Kid Rock is going all bipartisan on us. He's expected to be one of the performers at the Youth Inaugural Ball, to be broadcast tomorrow night (Jan. 20) on MTV. What happened? Well, maybe he's smarter than we all thought. Don't celebrities realize when they align themselves so vocally to one party they potentially alienate those who support the other party? You know, roughly half the country. Kid Rock isn't hailed as a genius, but he's smart enough to know he shouldn't mouth off about politics. So expect some grungy rock tomorrow night and hopefully he'll stay true to his word and let his guitar speak for him.

Raymond Francis' NEVER BE SICK AGAIN Gives Advice on Good Health Choices
News about the severe flu season is everywhere and we are hearing how emergency rooms across the nation are overwhelmed by people admitted with acute flu symptoms. Scientist, health expert and author Raymond Francis is an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal health maintenance. The expert advice in his book, Never Be Sick Again, shows us how to make good health choices and restore that critical sense of well-being.
His Beyond Health model, a revolutionary new understanding of health, is explained in Never Be Sick Again. This model is based on cutting-edge cellular biochemistry and molecular biology that can prevent and reverse disease. The human body, like every living organism, has specific daily needs that must be met. Without meeting these needs, the body will not function properly and optimal health cannot be maintained.
"Keeping a healthy outlook is both one of life's great challenges and one of life's great opportunities. Having a purpose, a higher meaning to your life than mere existence, is a critical part of the whole picture of health," says Francis.
But the lifestyle of the average American does not provide for these needs and, unfortunately, disease is the logical and inevitable result. "It does not have to be this way," says Francis. "Health is a choice. Every choice we make from the time we get up until the time we go to bed affects our health. If you're willing to work and provide for your health, you'll discover that, with even a modest amount of education and effort, it is possible to make better choices."
Francis will soon release a new book focusing on aging and the Beyond Health model. He is an MIT-trained scientist and an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal-health maintenance. In addition to being a best-selling author, Francis is the creator of the internationally-presented Beyond Health Seminar, author of the "Pathways to Health" newspaper columns, and has been a guest on more than 1500 radio and television shows.

The Salvation Army will be celebrating 100 years of service in Charlottesville February 12. To help celebrate the milestone, organizers are asking people to share stories and pictures of how the Salvation Army has helped them.
"It amazes me how some things have changed dramatically and some things have not, it is still the same basic thing of meeting peoples needs that they have at that moment," said Major Melinda Johnson of the Salvation Army.
Organizers say they plan to create a website in honor of the anniversary. They also hope the milestone will inspire people will volunteer their time to the service. The Salvation Army serves nearly 30 million Americans in need of assistance each year.

|I adopted BONNY two months ago when her owner died Small Jack Russell aged 5 Never been out on long walks not been around traffic on buses or trains hence my order She took to the sling well especially when scared Took a while to settle and thanks to her carriage the day was a big success
|I have four toy dogs all enjoy a good daily walk My toy poodle has Addisons disease and can be affected by weather fatigue etc I can pop her in the sling if need be and still have 2 hands free for controlling the other dogs I was looking for a light product that I can carry at all times but not always need on the day
|Haven't used this for any length of time but have used it around the house so my teacup Yorkie can get used to it. I have tried a few different types but this seems the most practical. Nice and comfortable to wear and she sits well in it and gives her nice support the sides are big enough to keep her secure and allow her to sit and watch what is going on around her. All in all a nice practical product. Very quick service too
|This pet carrier is light weight and easy to carry when my dog is walking happily but is there to carry her when the grass is long or the going gets really tough My dog loves being in it she can see the countryside and is close to me
|Elderly Pekinese and loves going out but not fit to walk all the way. This gets him to the park for a run around but as I'm elderly myself some instructions would have been nice and useful but I eventually figured out how the straps held him in.
|My elderly blind quite small dog has become very needy and wants to be held all of the time This nifty carrier has made life easier for both of us
|Ideal for my chihuahua havent used it yet but have done a practice run indoors and Caspar seems comfortable enough Cant wait to try outdoors Would recommend
|I was a bit sceptical about this sling as my chihuahua is very small and I wondered if he would be too small to see out but it is just perfect for him He feels safe in it when we are shoppingso he is away from all the scary feetbuggies and carsand can curl up to sleep or pop his head out to look around easily The strap is comfortable to wear and the bottom of the carrier is well padded for the dog to rest on It folds up into quite a compact parcel which I can fit into a large handbag to use if and when needed I find it to be a great purchase and would highly recommend
|I am 100 satisfied with both the product and the fast delivery and value This has proved invaluable for socialising our very young pup whilst waiting for first jabs The product looks good is easy to clean and great value

I'm not even going to go into the gala again. We addressed that. It's over and done with, but has anyone noticed a pattern of some who so eagerly speak bad about the rest of us in their interviews (but not to our faces)? And as Cristy says, "let's not talk about 'charity'." "Charity"? I am not going to apologize for talking about a charity that helps those in need!
While we are on the subject of charity: in the brief clip where I was making an appearance at another charity (not my own), I lament that many of these young girls' stories, and the content of our class wasn't shown to a greater extent. They are the heroes, and you would have been just as inspired as I was by them and how open they are to creating a better future for not only themselves, but for those also in need! I think they were nervous with the cameras there, and yet brave enough to tell.
Next week has some of the lowest moments of bad behavior, and some of the most hilarious moments to laugh at (hope ya'll get the jokes! LOL!), and ends with an experience that I have learned from, taken some praise and criticism for, and had lots of hearty laughs over.
Meanwhile, the gala is coming up soon with Dionne Warwick, Pharell Williams, Pit Bull, and more. And of course I'm still running three businesses, loving my son and hubby beyond words, and have lots of plates spinning, and lots more to talk about other than the charity and other people.
Keep the peace and spread the love.

Strong words at a church youth group meeting land a teenager in a juvenile detention center.
Police say a 16-year-old boy told someone he planned acts of violence using a gun.
"We took a report from some individuals about some criminal threats," says Derby Police Lt. Jimmy Queen. "Earlier in the evening, a juvenile male, 16-years-old had made some threats towards certain individuals and towards the Derby High School and the Derby Middle School."
Police interviewed several witnesses and then took the boy into custody late Wednesday night. USD 260 has been notified and has launched its own investigation.
"In the day and age we live in and we just had a recent school shooting, you can never look at these things as, 'Well, some kid just popped off or some kid was just blowing off steam,'" says Michael Pomarico, USD 260 Superintendent. "You have to take it seriously and we are."
Many Derby High School students hadn't heard about the threats, but they don't think anyone would actually carry out that type of crime in their school.
"Even though you hear about it, it doesn't really effect me, because I don't think it would happen at Derby," says Derby student Hannah Lewis.
"I don't think it'd happen here, it's just too good of a school," says student Mike Mortimer.
Police plan on meeting with the district attorney's office to talk about possibly filing felony criminal threat charges.

A group of 20 swimmers dived into the water at Oyster Bay Cove beach to celebrate life and swim a mile to raise awareness and funds to support brain aneurysm research and education, on Saturday, Aug. 21. All proceeds support North Shore University Hospital Manhasset Brain Aneurysm Center and Long Island Volunteer Center, an affiliate of HandsOn Network. Joanne Turnier was there representing the hospital.
Erik Scherbner, 26 of Bayville, who sustained a frontal lobe brain injury in a 1998 assault, had family members and his girlfriend Nina cheering him on. "It was great to see how people connected with each other to support such and important cause," said Eric.
Madison Callinan, aged 10, said, "I swam this for my dad's dad Thomas Callinan, who died of a brain aneurysm and for my nan, Joan Imhof, who survived one. I felt good that I actually swam back to the beach."
Maria Ehlinger of Oyster Bay, of Active Motion Physical Therapy and St. Dominic High School added, "I swim because it's a way of giving back – I do it for the people who are unable to do a physical activity."
Other swimmers included Brian Dillmann, Patricia Farnell, Taylor Flanagan, Kristi Halpern, Mandy and Chris Hundling, Joan Imhof, Joe LaCorte, Bonnie Millen, Chris and Frank Murdock, Jeanette Murray, Dr. Peter O'Neill, Randy Pullman, Mark and Darlene Galla-Spechler.
Providing safety were Nassau County Police Marine Bureau officers Mario Boccabella, Frank Borgi and Billy Sharp; Bay Constables from the Town of Oyster Bay; and Bob Walles, Kevin DeSimone Sr. and EMT Mary Anne Kemmer of the Atlantic Steamer fire rescue boat. Three lifeguards, Eric Karahalis, Kohn DeStefanis and David Rupp paddled on boards close to the swimmers in case assistance was needed. Mike Dunn, Maurice and Carol Baron and John Imhof were also manning safety boats.
A beautiful array of raffle prizes were added this year. Event organizer Joan Imhof praised local merchants and friends who generously donated prizes and gift certificates. They included Active Motion Physical Therapy, Best Nails, Buckingham Variety Store, Canterbury Ales, Doubleday Babcock Senior Center and Jack Halyards American Bar & Grill in Oyster Bay; Dr. Patricia D'Imperio, Frank M. Flower & Son, Inc. Oyster Company; Serene Freier; the Holifield family; Ruth MacArthur; Carolyn Mason of Bayville; the McClellan family of Locust Valley; Jan Shaw of Centre Island; as well as Cliffco Mortgage of Westbury; American Dream Abstract; and Burns, Russo, Tamigi & Reardon Law Firm; and Lana Gluck and Diana O'Neill of the Long Island Volunteer Center.
Judi Pullman of Oyster Bay Cove announced the raffle winners. Jackie Callinan, 8, held a jar of life savers and asked people to estimate the amount in the container, labeled "Thanks for being a Lifesaver! Brain Aneurysm Support Group.
"Enjoy your swim. I'll be here when you get back," she called out.
Locust Valley High School Interact Club officers Melissa Bales, Meredith Carr and Hollace Francy did a great job of helping with the set up and running the event.

Peter Pan's Birds of a Feather ~ Ostrich and Homie
HATS OFF to the Annisquam Village Players for a Spectacular Peter Pan
Sofia Gadbois, Elliot Davis, Jared Gilman, and Charlie Rousmaniere
A huge shout out to co-directors Terry Sands and Mary Curtis and the outstanding cast and crew of the Annisquam Village Players for once again creating a fabulously wonderful summer theatre event. The cast is stellar, the production flawless, and every act left you wondering, how can they top that! The children in the audience were especially mesmerized, rooting audibly for Peter Pan (played by the tremendously talented Elliot Davis), and grumbling loudly at the villainous and hilarious Captain Hook (featuring Rick Gadbois). Three Cheers and a Standing Ovation for All!!!
It was a joy to see families working together both behind the scenes and performing on stage, including the funny, fun, and talented Rousmaniere's Will, Charlie, Julia, and Jack (Dana, when will we see you on stage?); the always entertaining Rick Gadbois with his beautiful and accomplished daughter Sofia (what stage presence!); and the charming Think Pink Flamingo, Lidi Sands, with her adorable son, Baby Rabbit Alex Sands.
With an extra special shout out to Terry and Mary for their superb direction and casting, Krisitna for her beautiful choral direction, to Chicki and her crew for yet another year of ingenious sets, to Deej Viau for brilliant choreography, and to Cem Uslu and orchestra for exquisite music. And with a special note of appreciation to Linette and her helpers for their always kind assistance to all.
An extra, extra shout out goes to costume designer Hanna Anderson and the very adroit costume committee for their utterly fantastic ensembles. Every costume was pitch perfect and beautifully executed. Hanna grew up in Annisqaum and now lives in Boston. She is only 21 years old. We'll be saying—we knew her when…
And, to AVP's newest stage manager, GREAT JOB Deb Michel!

Annisquam Village Players audition for ANNIE
WHEN : Sunday May 30th starting at 6pm. (Callbacks on Monday May 31st.)
WHERE : Annisquam Village Hall on Leonard Street, Annisquam
WHAT TIME : Children to audition at 6pm; adults to audition at 7:30pm
AUDITION SONGS: Children (boys and girls) should prepare
"Tomorrow" and "It's a Hard Knock Life."
Adults (both men and women) should prepare "NYC" and "Easy Street."
Cast to be announced during the week following auditions. Cast to gather for a read-thru
on Wednesday June 23; rehearsals to begin on June 28. Show opens on August 10 and
runs through August 15.
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow… In Annisquam.
You can bet your bottom dollar that this summer there'll be fun. ANNIE is set in the
era of the Great Depression, which bears unfortunate but timely similarities to present
day events. But the show is far from depressing — it offers upbeat music and a fast-paced, humorous script with many zany characters.
There are numerous opportunities for children. There's Annie and the girls from the orphanage,
the rapscallion boys of the hobo village, the "NYC" chorus including both boys and girls, and even as Sandy, the dog.
ANNIE has some of the best adult roles of the Broadway stage, starting with Miss Hannigan,
the mistress of the orphanage who everybody loves to hate, and whose song "Little Girls" is a
guaranteed scene-stealer. Miss Hannigan, her brother Rooster and his girlfriend Lily St. Regis,
soft-shoe to one of the best songs of the musical stage, "Easy Street." And of course there is
bald Daddy Warbucks and his beautiful confident Grace Farrell. Politicians abound, starting
with FDR and members of his Cabinet. At the other end of the spectrum is the hobo village, replete with both savory and unsavory characters; there are the lovely Boylan Sisters, who croon a tune in long, slinky gowns, and the starlet who sings her way to fame in "NYC."

The project evaluation component provides the opportunity for GCI staff to meet periodically with the OWHC Board to discuss the issues that concern World Heritage Cities. On the basis of these discussions, the GCI will identify and select the conservation issues that it believes it can address with its resources and in partnership with other institutions and municipalities.
The project evaluation component will also examine the possibility for the OWHC to adapt a model approach for all its future World Symposia. This approach entails selected conservation experts and mayors presenting issues of common interest that are then discussed by all the participants. The approach also includes the pre-conference course, an introduction to conservation, for newly elected mayors and officials.

Net shakeup looms as IPv4 resources start running low
A new study has called into question the previous received wisdom that IPv4 addresses are running out, forcing the long-heralded move to IPv6. The migration to IPv6 is needed because it offers a massively increased address space as well as advantages in mobility and security. The use of technologies such as Network Address …
There's no technical reason why RFC1918 IPv4 space behind company's firewalls should be an obstacle to taking up IPv6 - Just configure your internal routers to prepend your TLD to the IPv4 addresses and Bobsherunkle*.
*Yes I know this is a bit simplistic, but in principle that's what is needed.
Private address space???
Is it not the case that alot of mobile network providers are assigning private addresses to the end user devices for content access? surely this counters that argument about the upsurge in mobile internet access. Also, did not the numbering authorities issue huge blocks to the colleges & universities - can't these be pulled back.?
hard rules of economics
"Mismatch between supply and demand in any market creates problems."
No it doesn't. Mismatch creates an opportunity. Mismatch is indication to suppliers to adapt to new situation on market. Is there any real business person that would call high demand "a problem"? Unless of course you run state garanteed monopoly...
So may be hard rule of economics is something like "...creates problems in any scheme where the nature of free market was thought not to apply..."
Don't 3G phones already use IPv6?
"The allocation rate of IPv4 addresses continues to increase due to the growing number of devices that require IP addresses - mobile phones <snip>"
Don't want to be pedantic or owt, like, but isn't IPv6 support a requirement for 3G phones? Or is he saying they need an IPv4 address *as well* as an IPv6 address?
All enlightenment gratefully received. After all, it's been twenty years or so since I did my first "IPv6 is the future, IPv4 is dying" training course. Oddly enough, IPv6 still is the future.
Does it?
*runs BlackBerry Diagnostics*
Signal Level: -60 dBm
Radio Access: UMTS
Network: xxxxxx
IP Address: 10.225.60.15
Hm... that looks like IPv4 to me. There are probably a bunch of mobile devices that don't support IPv6, which means "the big switch" is still far from becoming a reality. :(
not only does that look like an IPv4 IP
but it looks like a private one. that means that on the outside you could be IPv6. also everyone on you network could be useing just a handful a IPs. still kinda invalidates the who IPgeddon.
(seriously, I thought i was told we would run out by now... and the ozone was going to eat us. is it any wonder so many take reaserchers with a piller of salt? they keep crying "wolf!")
Silly pricing
Part of the problem is that big blocks of IP addresses are essentially handed out for free (or a token handling fee) - not as badly as in the early days, when individual universities and companies were handed 17 million addresses each, but far from efficient. GE, IBM, Apple, MIT, Ford and the UK Department for Work and Pensions all hold blocks of 17m addresses each, and HP have TWO such blocks thanks to inheriting DEC's! Do they really need all 33 million addresses? Seriously?
Meanwhile, the university I work for is hogging a whole /16, when a /24 and NAT would be plenty. Once the LEGACY-8 allocations have been revoked and universities bumped to a /24 each, claims we are "running out" might hold a bit of water - but not while so much of the address space is still being squandered so profligately.
Moving to IPv6 still makes a lot of sense, but it's not as if IPv4 space is really in short supply - it's just horribly misallocated at present.
Yes, i agree, just been doing a quick look:
General Electric Company: 22.214.171.124 - 220.127.116.11
Level 3 Communications, Inc, 126.96.36.199 - 184.108.40.206, 18.104.22.168 - 220.127.116.11
IBM Corporation: 22.214.171.124 - 22.214.171.124
Xerox Corporation: 126.96.36.199 - 126.96.36.199
Hewlett-Packard Company: 184.108.40.206 - 22.214.171.124
Couldnt be bothered looking any further. However, those five companies by themselves hold nearly 2.5% of all the IPv4 addresses. (Probably a bit more if you factor in the reserved ones)
I'm not optimistic about this...
... because we've been here before. Back before the Internet was the dominant networking technology DEcnet had the same problem - running out of (16-bit) address space as networks became increasingly interconnected - and planned a whole new network-layer infrastructure. The trouble is that you have to migrate your entire network to use the newer protocols before you run out of "old" addresses - otherwise you end up with partial connectivity. DECnet at least had the advantage that the name of the remote system was passed across the application interface so that you didn't have to recode every application to understand the new address format. With IPv6 it's not just every system that has to be upgraded but every application (in principle) before you can start using the increased address space.
It's a chicken and egg situation - not everyone is going to go through an IPv6 migration until they need to; by the time they need to, it's going to be too late.
I think we're going to see a bastardised DNS/network-layer relay that provides backwards compatibility for IPv4 systems wanting to talk to IPv6 networks (the DNS server notes the lack of IPv4 address, allocates a temporary one and relays to the IPv6 network) and that many end systems might continue to use IPv4 as an access protocol for years to come.
"with built-in support for Windows coming with the introduction of Windows Vista." Me thinks a copy and paste was done here considering vista has been out for some time now, or did you mean windows 7?
may be easier to understand as "with built-in support for Windows came with the introduction of Windows Vista", but as written is still valid in common usage.
Apples and oranges
It's true that the vast majority of IPv4 addresses are not doing much - they're allocated to various US government bodies and companies that have little need for them. A global reallocation of the address blocks would give everybody some breathing space and cost little.
That said, current NAT strategies, particularly in Asia where the imbalance is greatest, are starting to cause problems of latency and security. But IPv6 rollout requires a great deal more work on the consumer electronics side of things. It's less about the PCs and more about the routers, DSL units and particularly mobile phones.
Mobile Devices
My mobile (on o2) doesnt have a public IP address. I think this would actually be fairly common, as providers would want to shield their users from the threats of the internet
The problem with IPv6
Is that there was no nice, neat, predefined way to adapt IPv4 addresses on top of it. Yes, you can pu the IPv4 address space inside of IPv6, but they never nicely defined a nice way for a router to "cross over".
If course, there are some who think that 128 bits of address is a bit much, but considering how many things that MIGHT be connected, it may not be. I suspect that they might assign IPv6 addresses to every key on your keyboard (and hav a few left over).
Mobile devices? Really?
Most (all?) mobile providers run NAT - my iPhone is currently on a 10.x.x.x IP and my 3G dongle with 3 does the same. I agree we need to move to IP6, but factual inaccuracies don't help the cause. Also, there's a *lot* of public address space that's wasted:
Do IBM et al all *need* those /8s? I think not...
Mobile IP addresses
My Three phone gets its own public IP address if I use the "3internet" APN, or a NAT'd address if I use the "three.co.uk" APN. It's nice to have the choice.
"...with built-in support for Windows coming with the introduction of Windows Vista."
This sentence is factually and semantically correct, it's just the way that you are reading it.
I can see that the meaning could be a bit ambiguous, but it is perfectly valid and is in the past tense.
Home routers
Still not seeing IPv6 going anywhere until cheap and cheerful home routers support it out of the box
Running out of space?
240/8 --> 255/8 are reserved for future use (i.e. they're not in use yet!)
Add on 18 unallocated /8 blocks.
That's a heck of a lot of address space that nobody's using yet!
Take Back all the behind-NAT Class B
having worked actively on the iEFT IPv6 committees for years, why is IANA not requesting full use of the Class B address space sitting behind so many firewalls/NAT's? I know for firms I've worked for over the last 20+ years that there are numerous companies that begged/B.S.'d their way to Class B's back in the day that will NEVER use all that address space and probably already have 10.'s other non-routable addresses deployed. Having also worked on the DHCP committees the transition can be an orderly one to non-routed external addresses that getting back probably close to 70% of the Class B's would carry the public internet for a while.
As for comments that IPv4 and IPv6 don't overlap well, that's mostly B.S. as the core routers all support both, it's the carp ISP's that don't route that causes most of the trouble as 4's route via 6 networks quite fine thank you very much.
Lazy network admins and carp ISP's are causing most of the problems here. Many ISP's will "sell you a IPv6 address" for an additional fee. Trash the fee and make the addresses available to any customer wanting on, and move all new customers onto IPv6 would help immensely.

forget class B space: IPv4 will be used up in a couple of years
>> why is IANA not requesting full use of the Class B address space sitting behind so many firewalls/NAT's?
Because it's not IANA's job. It's not easy to take IP space away from someone once it was allocated to them, no matter how poorly they use it. Though an RIR will stop them getting more IPv4 space until they've made better use of their original allocation. The RIRs have policies which cover this.
Even if /16s (Class Bs in the land of old farts) could be recovered, they're not going to make much difference to the outcome. The world is consuming ~16 Million IPv4 addresses every month. So reclaiming a few hundred /16s would delay the crunch point by a month or two at best. It's not worth the fucking hassle.
Paris icon 'cos she can last longer than a month or two.
yes, IPv4 is running out
The comments about the unallocated /8s and the /8s that went to the likes of IBM and HP in the early days are true but irrelevant.
Whingeing about reclaiming inefficiently used /8s of IPv4 is like re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. It's not going to make a difference to the eventual outcome. And even if those /8s could be recovered, it's very unlikely it could be done in time. Can anyone renumber a live global net with SLAs for tens of thousands of nodes in under 12 months?
On average IANA hands out a /8 to one of the RIRs each month. Assuming that rate continues, IANA will have no more space to hand out by August next year. The RIR reserves will go about a year after that. Of course, things could happen much more quickly than that: a last-minute panic to grab for what's left before the shelves are bare. See http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/index.html
So even if IBM (say) paid for an expensive renumbering to hand back 9/8, that would only give the Internet another month of breathing space. It's just not worth it. BTW I believe IBM and HP use their /8s to provide network services to multinationals, so renumbering these would be even more tricky and expensive. Even if the will was there to do that and it made sense. Which it doesn't.
Wider uptake of IPv6 is the only answer. IPv4 might still be available after the run-out. But it will probably be expensive. And the space might not be usable because ISPs can't be persuaded to route it. Using IPv6 will avoid these uncertainties and other unknowns.
Problem of practicality?
I'm of the impression that there are two main problems with IPv6:
1. Every legacy device that will not ever support it. I don't know about you, but there are certain devices that I am not willing to give up or stop using "just because all they know is IPv4".
That may be something of a moot point, with 6to4 routing and other sorts of solutions to the problem. I guess we'll see.
2. The bigger problem, at least as I see it, is knowing an IP address for a given machine. I have no trouble remembering something like 192.168.1.1 (or what-have-you) but do you really think that I'm going to remember 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334 (cribbed from Wikipedia, for those who are wondering)?
Maybe that's not a problem either, given that the IPv6 implementation on the Macintosh (the only place I've seen it used so far) sets itself up automatically....?
For those of you with home routers and a mild-to-moderate sense of adventure, check to see if you can run DD-WRT on your hardware. DD-WRT does support IPv6, although I've never tried to use it. (I mention this only because it might keep a few dozen "unsupported" home routers/access points out of the bin for a while longer.)
What's really needed
is slightly less terrifying notation for the damn addresses. I mean, 10.0.0.1 any fule can get their head around that with some training.
But try telling someone over the phone to point their browser to "zero eff colon colon bee one colon opening curly brace colon colon ..." (etc) or even remember it yourself for any length of time - not a hope.
Am I just getting old?
fugly notation
This is also my complaint on IPv6. Granted, the numbers are bigger, but even something like 220.127.116.11.126.96.36.199.22.214.171.124.188.8.131.52 looks much prettier than 2001:dead:beef:6666:9999:blahblah. Also, an ugly side-effect of IPv6's implementation is that you actual MAC address will turn up in the IPv6 addy, which means that anyone sniffing your IP has your MAC address, which can be used to bypass MAC filtering. Whoops!
Does mobile Internet run over NAT? i.e. when I use my iphone I don't get a public IP allocated from O2 temporarily just for my own handset right (like I do with my home broadband)?
If so that would seem to cancel off the mobile device growth argument as the market can grow massively without any impact on public address space.
Help? Please?
My internal network is IPv4. It isn't going to change as I'm pretty sure the router (DLink DIR-100) doesn't do IPv6. But then it is no big deal as the intranet is not connected to the internet. Though, not to mention if I ever put my RiscPC online, there's no IPv6 there... Oh, and my mobile, via Virgin (aka Orange rebranded) had a 10.x.x.x address, which is a much more logical way of providing support for mobile devices.
Anyway. I played with Microsoft's IPv6 networking (XP SP3). I could get a DNS lookup for an IPv6 address, but after that I was not able to do anything. There's a resource for "6bone" online, but these URLs do not seem to be accessible, even trying "telnet6" to get to it directly.
Is there an up to date simple do-this-and-this-will-happen guide to enabling and using IPv6? It would be an interesting exercise to see exactly how much stuff works or breaks.
ISPs - where's my IPv6 service then?
Until ISPs are actually able to offer it for home and business, we're going nowhere.
(There's no/few "home" grade consumer DSL modems that'll support it yet, either.)
They easily could
IP isn't implemented in hardware. Any ISP-supplied modem/router should be capable of doing IPv6, they just need to get off their arse and push a firmware upgrade. My ISP already had to do this once when they went ADSL2+, and this is (in some ways) simpler. *Their* end of the pipe is probably a harder proposition than your end.

"Endure. In enduring, grow strong."A character who has been through utter hell, and came out sad, cynical, and Wise Beyond Their Years. Part of their wisdom is knowing that it is wasted on most people, so they don't go around babbling it to everybody. Instead, they wait until they see somebody who is worthy, and serve as the worthy one's Mentor. Like an ancient Zen master, a Zen Survivor never gives straight advice. Instead they speak in odd riddles and hints, delighting in Cryptic Conversation. They also make bizarre demands, and do cruel, seemingly pointless things to their student. This is because (also like a Zen master) they have an Omniscient Morality License. They know not just the world but their student better than the student does — each of their cruel tests is designed to teach a lesson, and the lesson is always right. Usually, the Zen Survivor does this because simply giving advice doesn't convince anybody, while odd tests do. If their student is too stubborn to believe them, the Zen Survivor will pretend to give in... and provide just enough rope for the student to hang themselves. Inevitably, the student will come crawling back. Distinct from the All-Powerful Bystander in that they hold back knowledge, not talents or powers. The Zen Survivor can also be evil and generally realize it themselves, but they justify their actions on the basis of ruthless pragmatism (often in the name of the greater good).
