These have been my go-to pants since I got them. With the soft cord material and stretch they are insanely comfy. The fit is slim, but really not that slim at all. Far from actual tight pants, just a nice looking cut. Someone with skinny legs would probably even find these to be baggy almost. I'm not a fan of button flies, but I've learned to live with it since everything else is perfect.

Ricky Ponting exhausted and exasperated many a bowler during his career. Four of them look back at their battles with him

Darren Gough: "He wanted to bully you"
v Ponting: Tests 9, dismissals 8, avg 32.12
You surprise me there when you say I got Ponting eight times, because I always found him really hard to bowl at. The most difficult batsman I bowled to was Adam Gilchrist, and that was purely because he would come in as No. 7, when the ball was old, and he would score so quickly. But there were two top-order batsmen I always found difficult: Michael Slater and Ponting. They wanted to bully me and I wanted to bully them. So as far as the contest goes, those two were the best. I had good duels with Mark Waugh, too, but I knew I could get him if I bowled back of a length. With Ponting and Slater, I never knew where I stood.
The one thing that was always on my mind against Ponting was to try and not bowl short at him, because he was so quick on that pull shot. I knew he was the player we had to get out, because he was a batsman who could accelerate the run rate quickly. Gilchrist did that down the order but Ponting did that early on.
My plan to him was quite high-risk: start with an early dose of pitching a foot outside off stump, which tempted him. In most of my dismissals, if you notice, he was caught at second slip as he was going after balls which any other guy would not have chased. But once he got in, he would murder me all day. Most people looked to bowl straight at Ponting, but I didn't. I knew he wanted to get on with it, hit me for a four, bully the bowlers. So I just tended to bowl full and wide at him, and that is how I did him so many times - nicking it.
He played some wonderful innings [against England], including his maiden Test century, which came at Headingley in 1997. It was a pretty flat pitch, but he just destroyed anybody in his sights.
For a batsman to be great in my eyes, he needs to be able to score off both the front and back foot. That is vital. I knew if I bowled back of a length and shortish to some batsmen, they were never going to affect my bowling figures. But Ponting could score quickly against me. No bowler likes to go for runs, especially being hit for boundaries. Ponting was a run-getter and he got them quick. He always wanted to get on with it. He was in the top three batsmen of all time, for me.
In 2005 I had the opportunity to be on the same team as Ponting during a charity match for the tsunami victims between the ICC World XI and the Asia XI. It was the first time I watched him go about his business and how he prepared. And, oh my word, what an innings he played. It was amazing to see how he prepared, compared to the other players you played with.
Even at a young age he was a powerful character and that is why he became the leader he became, earning a lot of respect. Ponting was part of a great Australian batting order, but it was his attitude, his determination, that made him tower above everyone else. For someone who is quite a small guy, he carried so much power. He was an unbelievable competitor.
He never smiled at you, really. You never knew whether he liked you or hated you. That just sums him up.
Shoaib Akhtar: "He had no fear"
v Ponting: Tests 9, dismissals 3, average 4.66
On his day, even a demon would be scared to bowl against Ponting. This is a guy who never stepped back. I never enjoyed bowling to him because if I could not get him out in the first few overs, then he would make sure I would have to stay on the field for another 50 overs.
He had no fear. The final Test of Pakistan's tour of Australia in 1999-2000 was held in Perth, and I remember bowling at my fastest. It was a good WACA pitch and I was bowling at about 97mph consistently. Justin Langer, Ponting's partner at the other end, was literally laughing, since Ponting could not connect. Ponting made use of my pace to let the balls go by easily. I think I bowled some of my fastest bouncers, which were flying over the wicketkeeper's head, and Ponting just stood there. It was my most unfortunate day, I felt at the time. He took apart a bowling attack that consisted of myself, Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq and inflicted huge damage with a big century [197].
He was one of the toughest batsman I bowled against. There were three or four batsmen I felt I should be scared against: Ponting, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Brian Lara and Adam Gilchrist. Ponting's ability to finish games was amazing. But his ability to face fast bowlers like myself and score runs was equally praiseworthy. He was a batsman who could play as well as win games, no matter what the match situation was. A fearless and ruthless batsman. Always a match-winner.
Chris Martin: "I would sit down and follow him bat"
v Ponting: Tests 12, dismissals 4, avg 51.50
As cricketers we don't actually sit down and watch other players play other than when playing against them. So the ultimate compliment I will give Ponting is that even when I was not playing, he was the one batsman in the last decade I would follow on TV.
He had a full array of shots, and that always put the bowler under pressure. In an Australian team full of legends he was the one man you wanted to get out, and a lot of thought went into figuring out ways to do so - not just as a bowler; as a spectator, I would watch how other people bowled at him.
As a top-order batsman he was the most difficult one to bowl to. With the new ball in hand, when you have the most energy to tackle your opponent, you fancy your chances, but Ponting was always capable of picking up lengths incredibly quickly, and he tried to put me on the back foot just as quickly. Guys like Ricky and Sachin Tendulkar, and to an extent Jacques Kallis, always get the best out of the bowler when they are scoring runs. And it was fun to stand up to the task.
In the Christchurch Test in 2005, the ball was reversing and I kept bowling him outswingers. I was successful in keeping him quiet for a couple of overs but I was getting heckled by Merv Hughes, the former Aussie quick, who was leading a tour group. Hughes kept saying I did not deserve to be on the same pitch as Ricky and that basically I was wasting everybody's time. But I eventually turned the ball around and managed to bring it back sharply towards his off stump. It didn't bowl him, but the next ball, similar in line and length, went straight through and forced an edge on its way into the gloves of the wicketkeeper.
When you get someone like him out with a little bit of savvy and nous, you feel good about yourself. But that was an exception to the rule - Ponting was a batsman who definitely had the better of most of our battles.
Harbhajan Singh: "The kind of cricketer, who could win matches on his own"
v Ponting: Tests 14, dismissals 10, avg 22.30, ducks 3
Ponting the batsman did not change much, at least in the first decade of his career. He was a quality batsman, but somehow I always held an edge over him.
Our first duel occurred in our first series together - the 1998 Sharjah Cup ODI series. It was my debut series and I got Ponting stumped after he hit me for a six. Both of us were charged up. I made some gesture and he responded aggressively. The match referee imposed fines on both of us and I sat out a match. It was the first of our many run-ins.
In the 2000-01 Test series I got him in all the three Tests, and also in the first warm-up match, in Nagpur. He went for a drive and was caught at short midwicket.
In the latter part of his career, he tried to do something different compared to how he batted on his first few tours of India. In those early days he would tend to play across and get out a lot caught at short leg or other close-in positions. Later he looked to step out more and play towards the mid-on and midwicket areas rather than towards cover and mid-off, which were the areas where I wanted him to play. He was not only playing more on the front foot but had also started waiting a lot on the back foot, like in the 2008-09 Bangalore Test, where he got a fine century.
Ponting will be in the top five Test batsmen I have played against. He was the kind of cricketer who could win matches on his own. He was an aggressive captain and had the ability to lift the team from difficult situations. He was the kind of batsman who played all round the wicket and scored runs quickly on any track. He developed the aura of being among the greatest because he performed consistently over the years.

High-traffic corridors such as I-75, I-275, US-23 and Telegraph Rd. criss-cross Monroe County.
The coal-burning Monroe Power Plant and Whiting Power Plant sit along its Lake Erie shoreline.
These are sources of auto and industrial pollution.
That's not news.
What might be news is a recent University of Michigan study that concludes that air pollution from industrial sources near Michigan's public schools is jeopardizing children's health and academic success.
It certainly sounds like news, but upon closer examination, it might not be. It might not even be true.
Let's face it, UM does some fantastic research. And this particular study made the reasonable suggestion that maybe the feds should be more diligent in setting rules for where schools should be built, despite the fact that more schools are being closed than built these days.
But to a non-academic like me, who was schooled at a time when most everyone thought industrial pollution was good for America, this study smells a lot like junk science.
I admit that science wasn't my strong suite as a student, undoubtedly because I inhaled too many emissions from cars fueled by lead-based gasoline.
But let's look at the UM study a little more closely.
The researchers based their conclusions on the finding that schools located in areas with the state's highest industrial air pollution levels had the lowest attendance rates. They said low attendance rates are a key indicator of poor health.
Whoa! Low attendance rates SOMETIMES are an indicator of poor health, but these days often are a more reliable indicator of poor parenting, poor transportation, poverty issues and other socio-economic factors that aren't accompanied by a cough due to cold, nor pollution.
As if that wasn't a pretty small hook to hang one's dunce cap on, the study also threw into the mix the proportions of students who failed to meet state educational testing standards — as indicated by 2007 MEAP scores.
The study's researchers mapped all 3,660 public elementary, middle, junior high and high schools in the state and overlaid that map with EPA pollution data. They then checked the MEAP scores — just the scores for reading and math —- and found that 62.5 percent of schools with lower MEAP scores were in places with high levels of industrial air pollution.
The results showed that many Southeast Michigan areas, including Monroe County, have a correlation of lower 2007 MEAP scores and higher sources of industrial pollution.
Sorry, folks. Lacking an epidemiological study, you can't convincingly make a direct cause-and-effect linkage. It's sort of like saying motorcycle riders suffer the most serious traffic injuries probably because they're poorer drivers. There's a correlation between motorcycle accidents and serious injuries, but it often has little to do with rider skill.
Besides, in my pollution-clouded mind, the MEAP is a flawed academic measure. It's a snapshot of a given school population. If you sampled trends over years, the best you could conclude is that a low-performing school has had a string of classes larded with low-performing students. And some of those students will become low-performing adults, regardless of the purity of air they breathe.
Indeed, startling and seemingly unexplainable improvements or drops in MEAP scores from one year to the next in the same district might be due simply to school populations that are strikingly more or less studious from year to year, not more polluted.
The study authors also noted that they used attendance as their only indicator of health. That's odd because the state health department probably could have provided reams of stats on the incidence of specific diseases that cause high absenteeism in Michigan schools. Couldn't the UM researchers at least try to substantiate that the kids who were absent from school actually suffered from the kinds of illnesses that might be related to pollutants? That surely would have added some more weight to the findings.
Beyond that, schools in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula often are more crowded, due to higher populations. That could mean lower teacher-student ratios and less individualized teaching — factors that affect learning — as well as a better chance for kids to spread diseases that cause absenteeism.
I know academics don't do this, but it almost seems as if someone had a pre-conceived notion and was determined to prove it.
Clearly, industrial pollution isn't good for anyone, but this effort to tie it to academic performance doesn't pass my sniff test.

Idina Menzel is trying to get back into the dating scene, but it seems the "Let It Go" singer is having a tough time of it. After ending her 10-year marriage to Taye Diggs in December, Menzel summed up dating as a single mom to Valentine in the Morning: "It all sucks."
"I don't want to keep introducing him to people and having him form bonds and then take 'em away, you know," she said, referring to the couple's son, Walker, 4. "It's bad enough his mom and dad are getting divorced."
The hottest celeb beach bods
A few days after Menzel's comments, Diggs made his first red carpet appearance with his new girlfriend Amanza Smith Brown at the BET Awards. The new couple reportedly had been dating a while before going public four months after Diggs and Menzel split.
Unlike her ex, Menzel is less likely to rush into another public relationship because she knows the hardships that come when one's parents divorce firsthand. "I went through it when I was 15 years old. I keep telling myself, because I feel so badly for him, it's better that he's 4-and-a half than when he's 15," Menzel said. "He has two parents that love him very much and we want to be great moms and dads. At 15, I was too aware. I thought I was an adult, and I got in the middle of everything and I took on the stress for both of them."

Arsenal produced a truly magnificent performance against seven-time winners AC Milan at the Emirates only to bow out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage.
The Gunners lost the first leg 4-0 in Milan and needed a miracle to progress, but Laurent Koscielny gave them hope when he headed in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's early corner.
Tomas Rosicky doubled Arsenal's lead on the night when he slotted in after great work from Theo Walcott, and Robin van Persie struck from the penalty spot after Oxlade-Chamberlain was fouled.
Arsenal suddenly only needed one goal to take it to extra-time and they went agonisingly close when Gervinho's shot was blocked by Christian Abbiati and Van Persie's effort from the rebound was also brilliantly saved.
But Arsene Wenger's side could not find a fourth goal and Milan held on nervously at the end to book their place in the last eight.
Chelsea began life after Andre Villas-Boas by booking their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup courtesy of a fifth round replay win at Birmingham.
Villas-Boas parted company with the Blues on Sunday as Roberto di Matteo took charge for the first time and Chelsea went in front in the second half when Juan Mata poked home inside the Birmingham box.
A superb goal doubled the lead as Raul Meireles rounded off an excellent move by hammering in from 25 yards, and though Mata had a penalty saved, Chelsea will now play Leicester in the last eight.

The Sebastian - Vail
|#5 in Best Vail Hotels
|Hotel Class 4.5-star
|Critic Rating Excellent
|Guest Rating
U.S. News Review
Having opened in 2010, The Sebastian has made a good impression among boutique hotel-lovers, with many recent guests claiming that the customer service — especially interactions with the ski concierge and the front desk staff — is some of the best they've ever experienced. While this hotel strives to maintain the ambience of a classic ski lodge, recent visitors love the trendy atmosphere found in the Leonora restaurant and FROST, the hotel bar. Although some note that rooms here are small compared to competing properties, many visitors compliment The Sebastian on its common areas, like the outdoor fire pit and the library. And despite their cozy size, accommodations house all the luxury amenities you'll need, including a flat-panel HD television, a fully-stocked mini-bar and a Nespresso coffee machine. If you're in need of some extra pampering, you can always make an appointment at Bloom Spa, which offers a full menu of massages and skin treatments.

David Beckham unveiled his new Armani ad on Oxford St. in London this morning, and I'd probably be enticed to buy these briefs if I was part of the target demographic. Sadly, for Armani, I'm not a gay sailor on the S.S. Ropecock.
David Beckham holding a giant rope in his underwear
Man guys are as much haters..if NOT MORE SO than woman.The man is HOT! get over it…That is what women want and fantasize over..not you hairy beer bellies and lack of muscle toned bodies.
I don't care for the hair in the ad, but he is FUCKING HOT!!!
One of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen.
He is the finest piece of ass I have ever seen in my entire life, and he must split Posh in half. That lucky bitch.
Andie @8 we need to talk.
>>Sadly, for Armani, I'm not a gay sailor on the S.S. Ropecock.<<
I think that might be the funniest thing you ever said.
Queer as a three dollar bill.
Good day!Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby or a woman have sugar daddy?Different person has different style,
you can experience the site *******C o u g a r C i r c l e . c o m******** you can sign up for free. it is very good a place!HAVE A TRY!!!!
He looks ludicrous – no point in doing beefcake shots when you have virtually no beef.
His trapezius, forearms and biceps need to be exercised more.His pectoralis major could be better as well.
One of the most beautiful men to ever walk the face of the earth
that's just not hot. and I'm a horny 19 yearold chick.
Yeah the ad was obviously meant to appeal to gay men, but regardless, he is smokin' hot. Guys, go take off your shirts and look in your mirrors, then come back and tell us again why we shouldn't be impressed with David Beckham. We wouldn't have to fake it with him…
It is my great pleasure to visit your website and to enjoy your excellent post here. I like that very much. I can feel that you paid much attention for
those articles, as all of them make sense and are very useful. Thanks so much for sharing. I can be very good reader&listener if you are same searching for
all to be good. Appreciate for your time!
Happy New Year!
In the photos, David displayed his chiselled muscles and torso covered in oil. His hair was combed to the side, in the style of the 50s and lush Becks was holding on a rope.

Catholics and Contraception: Letters From the Laity Paint a Very Different Picture Than the Bishops Want You to See
9:09 am in Uncategorized by RH Reality Check
Written by Jon O'Brien for RH Reality Check. This diary is cross-posted; commenters wishing to engage directly with the author should do so at the original post.
New York Times/CBS News polling released this week backed up what most of us already knew: the majority of Americans (66 percent) support the ruling by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to include no-copay birth control in employee insurance plans. A similar number, 61 percent, believe that religiously-affiliated employers such as hospitals and universities should be expected to comply with this policy.
Though it's harder to quantify emotions, quickly skimming the headlines these days is all it takes to see: Catholics are upset. The reasons for these strong feelings are much more complex than can fit into a headline, however, and in most cases very different than the ones expressed by the US bishops.
For Catholics, as for everyone, contraception is personal.
Ever since the HHS decision was made public, Catholics for Choice has been hearing from Catholics who are indeed upset. We have heard from young women and retirees, fathers, mothers, lectors and church employees, many of whom have sat in a pew and listened to letters from their bishop condemning the HHS decision, experienced their personal contraceptive and political decisions becoming an issue in church like never before, or seen news coverage that didn't reflect their own Catholic support for contraception. Parishioners may be encountering a new, political Catholic hierarchy, but the experience may yet create a new, political progressive Catholic movement in response.
A selection of the letters we received appears below. Read the rest of this entry →

Tuesday, June 17 will mark the first Blu-ray release of Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle of Wight, the enrapturing film that documents the guitar legend's August 1970 performance before an audience of 600,000. It was the largest show attendance-wise he would ever play and came just 18 days before his untimely death. Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix Live At The Isle of Wight, is available on Amazon and will be released by Experience Hendrix LLC and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment.
Blue Wild Angel draws heavily upon Academy Award winning director Murray Lerner's vast archive of previously unseen performance footage and presents some of Hendrix's finest ever concert performances, including Jimi Hendrix Experience classics such as "Foxey Lady," and "Red House," but also songs such as "Freedom," "Ezy Ryder" and "In From The Storm" that he was working on for his new studio album just before his passing in September of 1970, in addition to his timeless version of Bob Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower." The band kicks things off though with a unique medley of "God Save The Queen" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," a tune the Beatles themselves never performed in a live setting.
England's Isle of Wight Festival, which had its original run from 1968 to 1970, could be considered the Woodstock of Europe, and it provided the perfect setting for Hendrix's return to the country that birthed his career, after an 18-month hiatus. This was the first time his new band, consisting of bassist Billy Cox and original drummer Mitch Mitchell, performed on UK soil.
In depth interviews with Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell, and others set the stage for the concert footage that follows. In addition to providing the definitive look at one of the landmark events in Hendrix's storied career, Blue Wild Angel features both a stereo and 5.1 audio surround soundtrack mixed by Hendrix's original recording engineer Eddie Kramer.
The Blu-ray version of Blue Wild Angel contains all of the outstanding extra features included in the DVD, such as footage of "Hey Joe," which was not in the original release, a behind the scenes interview with Murray Lerner, rare artifacts and memorabilia, including reproductions of original tickets, festival posters, and even Hendrix's own handwritten directions to the festival site. Lerner's multiple cameras present Hendrix's distinctive guitar playing onstage like no other film, and like the DVD, the Blu-ray version allows for simultaneous viewing of multiple camera angles – expanded to include "God Save The Queen," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Spanish Castle Magic," All Along The Watchtower, "Machine Gun," "Red House," "Foxey Lady," and "In From The Storm."

Sheriff's Office Responds to Questions About the Hiring Process
Like almost everything in life, the raw numbers involved in your requests do not tell the whole story. What follows is a detailed explanation of how and why we hire people. I hope this will shed some light on the process for you.
First and foremost, the Sheriff has absolute authority to hire deputies as he sees fit, per Colorado Revised Statutes §30-10-506 which states in part: "Each Sheriff may appoint as many deputies as the Sheriff may think proper..."
With the passage of 1A, the Sheriff committed to increasing the size of the Patrol Division, which had not seen an increase since the early 1990's. In that same time frame, the population of El Paso County has increased from 397,491 people (1990 census) to over 644,964 (2012 census).
The Sheriff's Office is like any large organization, in which we are losing people on a regular basis. Historically, our average loss per month is approximately 2.3 FTE (Full Time Equivalent) positions. Per year, that averages out to about 28 positions.
Simplistically, the answer then, is to hire 28 people a year. However, Law Enforcement has some unique challenges that necessitate a lengthy hiring cycle.
Our hiring process is very particular and includes written testing, a detailed background check, CVSA exam, psychological exam, a drug screen, and interviews. This generally takes 4-6 months.
After being hired, every sworn member of the Sheriff's Office is required to attend our POST approved Basic Recruit Academy. The actual time for this varies, but is generally is about 20 weeks for a large academy and 17 weeks for a smaller academy. The variation is due to the need to break the large academies into 2 groups for skills training, holidays and other factors.
In that time, we expect to lose at least 10% of the recruits for various reasons.
After the basic academy, all recruits are assigned to the Criminal Justice Center, where they undergo 6 weeks of Detention specific training, partnered up with a Detention Training Officer. After they pass that phase of training, they are able to work a ward at the jail by themselves.
So, at minimum, it is approximately 40 weeks from the time the Sheriff says "We need to hire more people" to the time they are fully qualified to work in the jail.
Generally, deputies will work in the detentions bureau for a while before testing to come to Patrol. During that time, they will attend additional training of various sorts, usually at least 2-3 week's worth. After they are selected to transfer to Patrol, they attend a week of Patrol specific training, (mostly report writing) and then a 14 week Field Training cycle, partnered up with a Field Training Officer.
Patrol is a very challenging and demanding job and typically, we have 5-15% of the patrol applicants that do not work out for one reason or another. These applicants usually return to the jail where many of them excel. For example, if we take 12 transfers from the jail, historically only 9 of them will complete field training and become fully qualified patrol deputies.
All of this, mind you, is in a perfect world and does not account vacation, illness, injury, and any one of the hundreds of other factors that may extend that time.
So, from the time a recruit starts the academy until the time they are able to work a road district by themselves involves at least 37 weeks of our training and usually 2-3 weeks of outside training, for a total of over 40 weeks of training and, in reality, at least 18-24 months of actual calendar time.
Taking the academy that started on August 18th for example, the numbers break down like this:
Hiring process starts. About 4 months later, an academy begins. We are now down, through normal attrition, 9 people in the agency.
20 recruits hired. In the academy, we will have lost 2 of them.
17 weeks later, 18 recruits will start at CJC. By that time, we have lost 9 more people in the office through normal attrition.
6 weeks later, the recruits will be able to work by themselves. By that time, we have lost another 4 people.
So, of the 20 people who started the hiring process 9 months ago, we will actually only put 18 employees in place. During that time, we will have lost 22 employees.
If half of them elect to test to become Patrol deputies, we would put 9 into Field Training. Of those, at best, 6 or 7 would pass everything and become fully qualified patrol deputies. For those employees to become Patrol Deputies it will be at minimum another 9-12 months, during which time we will have lost another at least 21 people.
Further, at any given time, we average 30 people on short and long term disability, modified duty, light duty, military leave, FMLA, workers compensation and other situations who are not available to perform their primary duties. This is also taken into account when we plan our hiring cycles and over hire needs. In a Law Enforcement organization, we cannot simply carry on without those people; if we are short it impacts both officer and more importantly, citizen safety.
I understand there has been some concern directed towards your news agency regarding the possibility of layoffs soon after Sheriff Maketa leaves office. I can assure you, there is absolutely no reason or justification to be concerned about that. Our 2014 budget supports the new hires without any additional funding and the referenced Colorado law supports the hiring.
In fact, with 1A monies, we are actually underspending $924,240.13, which would allow us to hire another 40 deputies this year IN ADDITION to the 20 who started on August 18th. As our organizational chart shows, we are currently short 23 people in the Patrol Division. We have a group just about to finish Field Training, which will then allow for us to take another group of candidate transfers from the jail.
This is not a new process for us and we have been doing it with the full knowledge and support of the County administrations going back to 1997. In fact, our recruit pay is 10% less than Deputy III pay to assist with funding the over hires.
I hope this sheds some light on the hiring process for you. It is a lengthy and exacting process that we will not compromise. We have very high standards as an agency and the processes detailed above help us ensure those high standards.
The responses to the CORA request questions are below.
1. The total number of personnel the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is authorized to staff.
We are currently authorized to staff 785 personnel. Of those, 603 are General Fund, 131 are 1A, 39 are Restricted and 12 are "Frozen" giving the total Office-wide of 785.
2. The current personnel number at the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
We currently have 799 employees. (As a note, in the few days it has taken to compile this information, we went from 800 to 799 employees.)
3. The number of new hires attending the new academy scheduled to begin in August.
We currently have 20 people attending the Academy that started on August 18th.
4. Costs associated with training and paying (salary and benefits) the new hires. This should include the cost of testing and background checks.
Recruit class 14-2 will cost, including salary and benefits, $424,189.24. There is no record of costs associated with testing and background checks as we do all of those, including psychological and CVSA, in house, using current EPSO employees.
Regarding the CORA Request:
1. The EPSO Organizational Chart showing all the FTE's (full-time employees) positions in your organization.
Our organizational chart is attached. Also attached is the redacted roster of employees who are not on full duty status.
2. The list and total number of authorized or budgeted strengths (which positions are authorized and how many are budgeted for)
Documented above and in the org chart.
3. The list and total number of actual strengths - how many employees the department currently has on staff, including civilians.
Documented above and in the org chart.
I believe this will answer both of the CORA requests you sent in. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Compressed air and other gases are used extensively in food processing operations, presenting an invisible and underappreciated risk for food contamination. U.S. federal regulations state clearly that "Compressed air or other gases mechanically introduced into food or used to clean food-contact surfaces or equipment shall be treated in such a way that food is not contaminated with unlawful indirect food additives." However, there are no clear and widely accepted industry standards for achieving this goal. The purpose of this symposium is discuss the complexities and shortcomings of current regulations, standards, and best management practices for the quality of compressed air and other gases in food processing applications.

First-Time Support Vehicle Drivers
Sat, May 2, 2009 | byShare
For information on buses, please visit the Department of Transportation.
• Be sure to attend the RAGBRAI support vehicle drivers meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at the Mid-America Center Arena in Council Bluffs.
• Participating in RAGBRAI as a support vehicle driver could be addictive. (You may catch the RAGBRAI bug like everyone else.)
• Stay off the bicycle route. Support vehicles will have a different route to the next overnight town.
• Bring an Iowa state road map along. It can be very helpful to supplement the support vehicle map the Register provides and will assist you in determining on which roads you should be driving.
• Make sure you check in with the Information Center at every overnight town. This helps your group find out where you're camping, and also gives the In Please be courteous. You are a guest in the community and should act like one. Turn your generators off when they're not needed. It is hard to enjoy the great outdoors with the fumes and noise of multiple generators.
• Be patient. There will be lines everywhere you go, even when you're driving.
• Be careful. When driving a large panel truck or pulling a trailer, be especially aware of what or who is behind or beside your vehicle. Overhead clearance is critical. Remember, you may have a bike rack on top of your vehicle that could hit tree branches or signs.
• Share. You are sharing camping sites with more than 10,000 bikers. Give everyone his/her space.
• Be neat. Encourage your group to pick up after themselves. Have garbage bags on hand for trash. Before you leave in the morning, walk your area. You'll find the misplaced billfold, watch, sunglasses and bike computer. Your group will appreciate your efforts.
• Always buckle up and don't drink alcoholic beverages if you're going to be driving.
• Make sure you're getting plenty of rest the night before driving so you stay sharp. Drowsiness can lead to becoming distracted and inattentive.
• Have a safe and fun trip!

"The Thing" Cake: Delectably Disgusting
January 22nd, 2014
I love old horror sci-fi movies like The Thing. And so does Instructables contributor leftmusing who made this "The Thing" cake for their significant other's birthday.
She asked what kind of cake he wanted and it turned out that he wanted something weird and awesome. Not a problem. Since he loves '80s sci-fi and horror movies, she got an image from John Carpenter's 1984 version of "The Thing" and went to work.
Using sculpture tools, some YouTube videos and an appreciation for the grotesque, she created this amazing cake based on the movie. It is so nasty and unappetizing, but that is the point. So, great job, leftmusing. You have achieved your goal.

The size is perfect on this bag. Big enough I can use it to use it for an overnight on the trail or a long ride on the bike. I like the pass through behind the long side pocket for stashing fishing poles. It fits well and has sufficient support for however much weight you want to put into it.
Pros: Very versatile, can fit more than it would seem, nice fit, side packets provide easy access to items, better than many more expensive packsCons: removable hip belt would be nice, lower mesh pockets and side pockets clash a bit This bag is hella dope for light outdoor travel. I use it when I'm going up to visit friends and head out into the woods for a weekend. Would not recommend for multi-day trekking
This Kelty pack is great for an overnight trip, or when I'm going on a long hike with my son (where I'm carrying all of his stuff!). It is very efficient and is a good price. Not too big or cumbersome, but can carry quite a lot of stuff if you're careful about how you load the pack (as all hikers should be). Plenty of useful dividers and interior pockets to keep everything organized. I absolutely love the tightening mechanism on the waist belt.
I bought this pack to use for one or two day ultralight backwoods camping. I have to say that I'm impressed with it so far considering the price. The waist belt sometimes slips loose and needs to be retightened but not that big of a deal. Ample space and ample individual pockets to store things in an organized manner. I do like the ability to strap things underneath the pack if necessary as it does include two strips of tie down points. After buying this pack, I was so impressed with it, that I went and bought a second for my girlfriend as she was wanting to steal mine. I would recommend this for the bargain shopper

The TVNewser Twitter Index: The Most-Followed Network Shows
Introducing the TVNewser Twitter index, where we take a look at how TV news programs are ranking on that other real-time medium, Twitter.
This week: the most-followed broadcast network morning shows and evening news programs. Next week we look at the primetime cable news landscape and in future weeks we will catch you up on the primetime broadcast shows, and the top TV news talent.
As the numbers clearly indicate, Twitter is still pretty small when compared to the vast reach of TV. Millions more people watch the network shows live than follow them on Twitter, nonetheless, there are some patterns that can be discerned.
The network morning shows:
ABC's "Good Morning America": 1.945 million followers
NBC's "Today": 1.569 million followers
CBS' "CBS This Morning": 58,184 followers
As the newest morning show, and with fewer viewers than its competitors, it isn't surprising that "CTM" is at the bottom of the follower pack. It is clear that CBS News as an organization places less emphasis on social media than ABC or NBC, and this is almost certainly a factor.
The evening newscasts:
"NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams": 166,178 followers
"ABC World News with Diane Sawyer": 151,758 followers
"CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley": 25,922
Once again, the CBS News program is at the bottom of the pack, with far lower numbers than its television ratings may indicate. All three programs have significantly fewer followers than their morning brethren, despite having more viewers. Why? It could be the older audience, or the shorter lengths of the shows. Maybe the morning shows just produce content that is better suited to being shared through twitter.
