Town sets sight on signs
Date: May 20, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
There are 24 road signs in the half-mile section of Gulf of Mexico Drive between the mobile-home parks and Royal Road.
That's one sign every 100 feet, and that's 24 signs too many for Planning and Zoning Board member Walter Hackett.
At recent planning board sign code public hearings, Hackett released his own statistics, counting 405 state road signs along 9.7 miles of Gulf of Mexico Drive.
To make his point that the signs are overkill, Hackett counted 122 signs that reference bicycles, 87 Sarasota County Area Transit trolley stop signs and many "no parking in the right of way" signs.
Hackett's memo struck a nerve, prompting the planning board to invite Florida Department of Transportation officials to its Tuesday, May 12 sign code public hearing.
Florida Department of Transportation District Traffic Operations Engineer L.K. Nandam told the planning board that so many signs exist on Gulf of Mexico Drive for a reason.
"We are required to install bike signs to advise motorists of the bike lanes on your road," said Nandam, who also explained that the counties don't need state permission to place bus-stop signs in the right of way.
But former planning board Chairman David Brenner wasn't buying it.
"We have an awful lot of signage out there," Brenner said. "Is there any flexibility about how many of those signs are required?"
Temple Beth Israel Rabbi Jonathan Katz also chimed in, urging the town to fight the state on its signage claim.
"A sign is a permanent presence that violates sight lines," Katz said. "Signs mar our beautiful view, and we shouldn't accept what the state is telling us."
Assistant District Traffic Operations Engineer Keith Slater tried to deflect the criticism by explaining that the bicycle signs are frequent because of the amount of driveways on Gulf of Mexico Drive and the number of out-of-town visitors the island gets on an annual basis.
But in that same breath, Slater also admitted that his department "does have some leniency in backing off."
The statement was all the planning board needed to request the department and town work together to take out some of the signs.
"Two-hundred signs on each side of this road is too much," Hackett said.
Nandam said that road projects such as the Gulf of Mexico Drive repaving project provides his department with the perfect opportunity to revisit the number of signs along the road.
"Some signs will be removed because they don't meet our standards," Nandam said. "And when we repave the Sarasota side of the road next year, we will perform the same evaluation."
Brenner also asked state officials to provide the town with a map that defines the Gulf of Mexico Drive right of way, which will be helpful for residents and real-estate-agents when deciding where exactly they can place signs on their property.
Hackett said he was happy to discover that the state is willing to revisit what he and others perceive as excessive signage.
"We do the best we can to make this island as appealing as possible," Hackett said. "And the state throws up a bunch of signs whenever it wants that detract from the aesthetics of this island."

Woman Hit by Car Asking for Lower Speed Limit
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP -- A grandmother of 37 was hit by a car walking to her mailbox and the driver took off.
Now, she's home and wants to change the speed limit on Clyo Road, saying it's unsafe.
We first told you about this accident last month.
And we asked the Montgomery County Engineer if the speed limit on the stretch of road was too high.
We're happy to report the engineer's office is taking what happened to Sue Carter very seriously, and it's forced them to take a second look at the speed limit here.
"I feel like I'm getting a little better everyday," said Sue Carter.
Sue and her husband Blake are thankful they still have one another to hold on to, but they add their life will never be the same after a car ran off the road and hit Sue while she was getting her mail at night.
"You think about things that I love to do, that I don't know if I'll ever be able to do them," said Sue.
It's because of that that Sue and Blake want to make sure no one else has to go through this.
So they're asking the county to lower the speed limit.
It's something ODOT did in 2010.
They lowered the speed from 50 mph to 45.
The Carters say it's still too high though, and after watching our story and hearing about Sue, the Montgomery County engineer decided they will do a speed study.
"We have to follow a very prescribed format of doing a study and collecting various types of data about the roadway, the speeds and the traffic volume," said Paul Gruner, Montgomery County Engineer.
They then give the results of the study to ODOT who decides if the speed limit should be lowered.
"He has to start somewhere, so if a speed study is where they want to start then that's good, that's a good thing," said Sue.
The possibility of getting the speed limit lowered could be the silver lining in this terrible situation that's forever left a mark on Sue and Blake.
"They've changed our live forever, their lives might be the same, but ours will never be the same," said Sue.
The Carters have also asked if the county would put in a street light at the intersection of Rooks and Clyo. They say it's very hard to see at night.
The county engineer said he's looking into the possibility as well.

Ashes bet odds 2nd Test England Australia
The Australia press has initially placed most of the blame on bowler Mitchell Johnson, describing his performance as as inoffensive as a primary school teacher. Spread buyers of his performance may share this sentiment, whereas those who sold will feel rather differently towards the 29-year-old. The spread made up a grand total of zero.
Looking to the second Test in Adelaide, there are many factors for spread betters to consider. Its worth mentioning that in 29 test matches played between England and Australia at the Adelaide Oval, only five have resulted in a draw, while Australia have won 16 Test matches to England's eight there. However, England's RPO rate is much closer to the home sides at 2.47, compared to Australia's 2.82, which could indicate yet another closely fought match, possibly of note to those buying or selling the Australia/England 1st innings supremacy spread.
The home side will be desperate for a win, and will want to put on a big-hitting, high-tempo display, as will buyers of Australias win index spread. Sellers, or buyers of England's win index spread might be concerned that the Three Lions last won here in 1995. If the Aussies cant contain themselves though both England's bowlers and batsmen could take advantage, especially the likes of Cook, Strauss and Trott who have already shown they can keep calm in the headlights of a full-blooded bowling attack.
Cook, coming off the back of his record breaking display is likely to be feeling confident ahead of the second Test and Sporting Index's cricket traders will be wary of setting his runs spread too low. However, the first Test was his best performance for some time and is the only factor pointing towards him hitting good form. Of the other player spreads available, Ian Bell is sure to attract attention. The Warwickshire man possesses the necessary patience to frustrate an aggressive Australian attack and could prove a solid return for buyers of his 50-ups spread. Sellers on the other hand may see Bells consistency as his downfall, as he rarely turns in blockbuster performances.
Australian fall-guy Johnson's performance spread throws up to a difficult decision to either buy or sell. The left-arm pace-bowler has taken a lot of flack in the Australian media which could either spur him on or cause him to lose confidence. Going either way with Johnson may be risky – a mediocre second Test is unlikely, given his previous Ashes efforts.

Czech products shine in Brussels
11.07.2011 / 17:02
Minister of Agriculture Ivan Fuksa presents Moravian wines to ambassadors and top officials from EU institutions.
Products from the Czech Republic – mainly Moravian wines and traditional Czech delicacies – have been acclaimed in Brussels. The were presented by the Minister of Agriculture Ivan Fuksa at the annual "Wine Party" organised by the Czech Ambassador to the EU Milena Vicenová on Wednesday 29 June 2011.
The event brought together a number of top officials from the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, as well as Ambassadors from EU Member States, from other parts of Europe, from regions of the Black Sea and Central Asia and from as far as the Pacific, and also the most important Czechs working in EU institutions.

The South Moravian region also demonstrated its support to research and innovations by presenting a Wine Guide for mobile phones. This application has been developed by LifeWeb Interactive s.r.o, originally a student start-up company that is part of the incubation programme of the South Moravian Innovation Centre.

In a lobby for my second series which I had lost my first. Then an error pops up "yada yada there has been a problem we're sorry about this", I'm then forced to exit which has led me to lose my series.
Seriously, I'm pretty over these technical problems, I need some sort of loss forgiven of some kind surely.
It was on my OCE account which is R3acharoundwally
Words really can't express how annoyed I am right now.

Two cited for illegal drugs in WinhallOctober 22,2013Two cited for
illegal drugs
WINHALL The Winhall Police Department investigated two cases recently which both unexpectedly resulted in citations for drug charges.
On Oct. 14, around 10:45 a.m., police received a report of a stolen stove from a home on French Hollow Road. While investigating the report, officers interviewed Brian Schwartz, 21, of Winhall, a tenant of a nearby cabin and found evidence of possession and sale of illegal drugs.
The next day, around 5:10 p.m., Winhall Police executed a search warrant at Schwartzs home and discovered about 11 ounces of processed marijuana.
According to police, the marijuana has an approximate street value of $2,200.
Schwartz was arrested last week and cited to appear in Bennington criminal court on a felony charge of possession of marijuana.
In a separate case, Alexandra Thomas, 22, of Londonderry, was stopped on Winhall Hollow Road on Oct. 9, around 4:20 p.m., for a minor motor vehicle infraction.
Further investigation and a search revealed Thomas was in possession of heroin and was operating with a suspended license, according to police.
Thomas was arrested and cited to appear in Bennington criminal court for possession of heroin. She was also issued a ticket for a third offense of driving with a suspended license.
Officers with the Winhall Police Department have asked that anyone with additional information about either incident contact them at 297-2121.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

Sobran's Conservative Foreign Policy
American Way of War: How Bush's Wars Became Obama's,
Tom Engelhardt, Haymarket Books, 269 pages
On Nov. 9,
1989 a number of students crowded into a tight dormitory room, one
of the few with a TV, in Zahm Hall at the University of Notre Dame.
They had gathered to watch history unfold, as thousands of East
and West Germans came together armed with sledgehammers, hope, and
joy to tear down the Berlin Wall, skipping, sliding, and shimmering
across the top of that concrete monstrosity. Only eight years before,
President Reagan, under the watchful eye of Our Lady of the Lake
atop her Golden Dome, had stood a few buildings down from Zahm and
identified communism as "some bizarre chapter in human history
whose last pages are even now being written." The prophecy
was coming true, right there on the screen.
Since the early
1960s, Ronald Reagan had been planning an end to the Cold War in
what might only be described as the equivalent of a mixture of fantasy
baseball and the board game Risk. He stated his aim openly throughout
his two terms as president, but predictably few believed him. The
kind dismissed his words as simple optimism from a lovable actor.
The cynical – including those who helped shape public opinion
– dismissed Reagan's words as misguided, destabilizing,
idiotic, colored by too many White House screenings of "Star
But even after
Reagan's vision was fulfilled, the Cold War did not end. The
events of 1989 should have offered the West some breathing room,
a time to rethink the purpose of our nation and reinvigorate republican
ideals. Instead, the past two decades, under Republican and Democratic
administrations alike, have revealed America and the West as morally
and spiritually bankrupt. Plunder and torture best symbolize the
bloated American Empire of the last 20 years, a force that exists
merely for the sake of self-perpetuation. Our standing in the world
has declined precipitously. At home, many are angry and want to
change, organize, and harangue. Despite their best intentions, they
stand impotent, comprehending neither the past nor the present,
looking at the future – when not navel-gazing – with understandable
When voters
elected Barack Obama in 2008, his supporters acclaimed him higher
than a prophet; he was messianic. As one fine and intelligent person
– an expert in high tech as well as a farmer – wrote to
me in immediate post-election euphoria, "Brad, why are you
so upset, don't you realize that we finally have a chance to
end war and poverty, permanently?"
What the Obama
administration has delivered, of course, is not only the continuation
of the policies of the previous three administrations but a profound
exaggeration of them. If anything, we suffer more violations of
our privacy and civil liberties now than at any time during the
Bush administration, all in the name of a national-security state
that keeps the populace in its place while perpetuating war abroad.
In his soul-searching,
illuminating, and often depressing look at the unholy ménage
of Demos, Leviathan, and Mars, Tom Englehardt probes deeply into
the war culture of Washington, D.C. He notes that only two positions
have any real voice in contemporary public-policy debate: those
who want more of this and those who want more of that. The key word
is "more." As Englehardt writes, when it comes to conflict
overseas "however contentious the disputes in Washington, however
dismally the public viewed the war, however much the president's
war coalition might threaten to crack open, the only choices were
between more and more." More drones, more troops, more nation-building.
So much for
campaign promises and the new messiah who would end war and poverty
permanently. The first military budget Obama submitted, Engelhardt
notes, was larger than the last one tendered by the Bush administration.
"Because the United States does not look like a militarized
country, it's hard for Americans to grasp that Washington is
a war capital, that the United States is a war state, that it garrisons
much of the planet, and that the norm for us is to be at war somewhere
(usually, in fact, many places) at any moment."
Further, as
the Washington Post revealed this past summer in a penetrating
series on the intelligence community, no one knows exactly how many
persons in how many agencies are spending what levels of taxpayer
dollars to keep the espionage machine running. Engelhardt argues
the intelligence communities are as bloated as any part of the Department
of Defense. (Too bad we don't still call it the Department
of War, which would be far more honest.)
As further
evidence of our degeneration into a martial empire, the U.S. sells
70 percent of the weapons in the international arms trade. In almost
every way, Engelhardt contends, the United States precipitates the
militarization of the globe.
How far and
fast we've fallen since the relatively peaceful days of the
Reagan era. Four interventionist administrations later, we find
ourselves as the leaders of international vice and terror. What
happened, Englehardt asks, to the republic our Founders bequeathed
to us? What have we done with and to our inheritance?
In the background,
I can hear Steve Horgarth's wonderfully English voice from
the film Brave: "The Cold War's gone, but those
bastards will find us another one. They're here to protect
you, don't you know. Get used to it." He was right.

Evangelista sits at the biggest desk in the biggest office. In the desk is a copy of an essay his seventeen-year-old daughter, Dana, wrote about heroism when she was fourteen, in which she declared, "I will forever regard my father as my true hero." The words "You can Run but you can't hide" slide endlessly across the screen of Evangelista's computer when it's on but he isn't using it. In the distance behind the computer rises the granite face of the Queens House of Detention, with its many small, impenetrable windows.
THERE are perhaps 3,000 bounty hunters working in America today. They recover a majority of the people who jump bail each year. One bounty hunter recently became a specialist in locating deadbeat fathers. Another beguiled a fugitive with a phony certificate of presidential amnesty. A man from Arizona traveled to West Hollywood and posed as a rabbi to get an elderly mother to reveal the whereabouts of her son. A New York bounty hunter had a holding cell built into his motor home. A woman from New Jersey went to Atlanta, put on a hat and gloves, and attended a church service in order to handcuff a fugitive minister sweating at his pulpit.
Evangelista's cases are often strange and dicey. He has told me of approaching a fugitive who lay in bed waiting for him, a high-gloss black wig listing on her head and a samurai sword under her pillow. He has watched a fugitive's children scurrying to bury their father beneath dirty laundry. Once a fugitive zipped himself into a portable plastic closet; Evangelista noted the minute respiratory expansion and contraction of the closet walls. He has watched a fugitive fill his boat's cabin with propane rather than sign the boat title over to the bondsman Evangelista represented; Evangelista had given up arguing and called the cops and gone home when the explosion lit the dock and leveled the adjacent sailboats like a big hand (the fugitive was killed). Once he broke into the padlocked room of a professional car thief and found, amid tumbled pristine car-stereo equipment and scores of master-key rings, four steering columns mounted on heavy wooden blocks: practice sets. For two solid months two years ago about half the fugitives Evangelista caught declared they'd found Jesus and thanked him. Once Evangelista went into twenty crack houses looking for one guy. He has negotiated crack houses whose clustered booby traps included pits with glass-blade-embedded floors concealed beneath carpeting, and trip wires (of extremely fine fishing line) that released pit bulls or spring-loaded maces. In insular communities mobs sometimes try to kill bounty hunters; Evangelista once escaped a mob the police could barely contain. On several occasions, approaching the door of a staked-out house, he has felt the hollow, chilly tip of an undercover cop's service revolver against his neck.
Here are some of Evangelista's many investigative precepts. Scan cell-phone conversations just after someone has denied knowledge of a fugitive's whereabouts -- the person will probably try to brief the fugitive. Never go after a guy as he's entering his house -- let him go in and feel the peace of his sanctuary for a few minutes, and then knock on the door. Take a drug addict when he's in the deepest depths of sleep, usually around noon. Never forget what an excellent source of detailed personal information trash is -- if a fugitive's addresses are stale or questionable, begin surveillance in the garbage. Be respectful and polite whenever possible, and do not abandon this manner when making threats involving financial or legal action. Page a fugitive (a high percentage depend on beepers) using a special tracing service called a trap line, which immediately yields the location of the phone used to return the page (the fugitive gets a generic message telling him the person he's calling is unavailable).
Also, avoid complicated confrontations like brawls and shoot-outs and car chases at all costs -- if you can't isolate and surprise a fugitive, go home and try again another day. Remember that behavior tends to be repetitious, and concentrate on human connection -- serious illness and significant holidays and pregnancy and sexual desire and the vulnerability of small children all draw fugitives to their families and friends and lovers. If a fugitive takes prescription drugs, search his last known residence for pill bottles, noting the pharmacy address and refill date (collaborating with the pharmacist, who can stall the fugitive by telling him his prescription won't be ready for a few hours, is always a possibility). If financial desperation may be distorting a fugitive's thinking, or if he might be particularly gullible, send him an advertisement-like card telling him he has won something, such as an expensive TV, and how to claim it. (The most famous episode of this kind of baiting, Evangelista says, was orchestrated by the U.S. Marshals Service, several years ago. The story goes like this: a high-level Mafia boss who had flipped agreed to pretend that his son was getting married. He sent invitations to fifty East Coast bosses and their families. The Marshals Service created a lush phony wedding, at which the bride and the priest and the best man were all marshals. The event unfolded lullingly, its true nature finally revealed in the reception hall by the best man, who toasted the groom and then asked the guests not to move, as the many patient, smoothly tailored marshals drew their guns.)

Although yellow is expected to reign supreme with its optimistic, cheery warmth, there are other hot wall color trends for 2009 that may appeal to your design style. If you're looking to liven up your home in a more subdued way, paint experts also predict simple, warm, natural and neutral shades as key themes for the year.
Similar to '08's earth-inspired collections, you'll see lots of beautiful neutrals taking their cues from organic materials like wood, stone and natural fibers. A raw, minimalistic feel will be big this year as we create a calm, peaceful atmosphere by going back to basics. Doty Horn, Director of Color at Benjamin Moore, suggests accomplishing this monochromatic look by using paint in whites and sands, then adding depth with texture from organic fabrics and found objects. That's good news for all of us who jumped on the gray bandwagon last year—that new favorite hue isn't going anywhere.
For those who need a little more drama, try adding personal touches to your otherwise subdued decor with accents in bold, high-gloss or metallic pigment.
Most color collections are slightly warmer than last year's, according to the experts at Sherwin Williams, who are offering their popular violets and plums in more red-based shades for the New Year. You'll see reds hot as ever, with rich warmth from hints of fiery orange. And last year's soft green trend gets lively with an infusion of yellow to brighten up this popular palette.
Or, take Horn's advice and introduce dramatic black to mossy greens and blues. If that scares you, start by painting the frame of a mirror with this chic shade.
With just a few cans of a new hue—whether it's one of these new trends or your tried-and-true favorites—and your living space can be transformed. Choose your color, review painting tips and tricks, and you'll be on your way to a fresh new look that's perfect for the year ahead.
Happy painting, Rachel

Re: Haz-mat regulations
As to Cheri I believe an apology is in order for your defamation of yours truely and the company I lease to. The saftey dept. obviously has the load planners and customer service reps trained and have never offered me a load that I could not take. Your constant targeting of my posts has got to stop. I would not consider a post by Turtle as "hearsay". I respect his knowledge in the industry. Do you? Oh, and please don't PM me anymore and call me names likeyou childish and petulant little weasel.
You frigin' people... you have no idea how to defend a nation. All you did was weaken a country today, Obama. That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.
Re: Haz-mat regulations
OK, this thread too has far too much direct personal messaging of an unacceptable nature. It's apparently time to stop reading posts by some members and definitely stop replying to posts by some members unless mature civility can be restored. I'm really exhausted from all the moderator work recently. I trust there will be no need for any more and I can go back to just reading again.It's okay if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.
Re: Haz-mat regulations
One time I had to pick up one drum of some chemical, and the proper shipping name was misspelled according to the hazmat book. I could not get them to change it even after showing them in the book. They started getting nasty...
Re: Haz-mat regulations
Turtle did give some excellent "refresher" hazmat training in his post. His words are correct. Couple of additional pointers for you. Look at the Bills of Lading on each and every shipment you haul. Hazmat bills of lading must list the hazardous materials first. Many Hazmat BOL's will also have a Red border to them and may also contain a "column" that is checked if the commodity is hazardous.
He is also correct that some materials are considered "Hazardous" when in quantities greater 1,000 pounds by themselves, or in combination with other hazardous materials, and these loads would require placcards. Keep in mind that some materials, such as Class A and B Explosives, Radioactive and some of the Toxic (by inhalation), are placcardable, regardless of quantity.
You may encounter "ORM-D" products. ORM-D products are materials normally considered hazardous, but because they are packaged in smaller containers, and intended for consumers to purchase off the shelf at stores, they are not required to be placcarded - regardless of the quantity. In other words you could leagally haul 3,500 pounds of ORM-D products in your van without placcarding.
As for hauling any amount of hazmat in a cargo van - I have never been a proponent of that. Regardless of how great of a bulkhead you think you have in a van, there is NO protection for you, the driver, from the hazardous materials should a spill or leak occur. Think of how many times you have hauled non-hazardous products, such as "coated" or "treated" auto parts and have become sensitive to the smells from the product in your van.
Anytime you are unsure if loads are hazmat, you should contact the Safety Department at your Carrier. There is not one of the major Expedite companies that DOES NOT have a top-notch Safety Director.
Hope this helps.

Re: Haz-mat regulations
This is really interesting.
I won't write all of this but here is the short story. I am responsible for that shipment on the road. If I have an accident and my paper work is sloppy, than I will end up with the problems, not the shipper, not the carrier. Even though the shipper will get p*ssed off, and I have had a couple of them get really mad, I don't move the truck with a Hazmat load on it unless their paper work is perfect and they sign my contact info.
I can't afford the cost of messing up and you can't either. Just the clean up of one Hazmat spill near where my truck vacations cost the driver and carrier more than a million dollars and that was just the clean up company's work, the state charge the carrier somethign like $125k for tying up the emerguency vehicles and closing down the road and the City of Detroit has yet billed the carrier for the extra work from what went down in the drains.

Re: Haz-mat regulations
O.K. , here's what you need to know . How to Comply with Federal HM Regulations - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration . Take particular note of the training requirements . A hazmat endorsement alone does NOT qualify you to transport hazmat . Additional training by the carrier is required . This training must be renewed every 3 years and you are required to carry a card showing you have current training . I have been asked for this card during inspections .

Re: Haz-mat regulations
There is an odd category of radioactive called "DOT Exempt." It is an amount or radioactivity level that falls below the DOT's definition of what constitutes radioactive and above what the regulatory agency for nuclear power, etc. (sorry for the senior moment, can't remember the specific agency name...DOE maybe? NRA? Can't remember...) calls radioactive. It seems the two agencies don't agree on what constitutes regulatable or covered materials. It is a small difference, but it exists.
When transporting DOT Exempt Radmat there is a form or form letter that should accompany the paperwork which explains that the material is Exempt from DOT Hazmat. The trick is usually trying to explain this to a dispatcher who wants to do a hazmat checkout and doesn't understand that though technically radioactive the shipper hasn't done hazmat paperwork on it. I had to hand the phone to the shipper to explain it to a dispatcher the one time I ran into this type of material.

Re: Haz-mat regulations
Study for and obtain the HazMat endorsement. Why jeopardize your driving career or the safety of the motoring public?
Re: Haz-mat regulations
Some carriers don't require a CDL at all. Some require a CDL, but don't require a HAZMAT endorsement. Van and Sprinter drivers who opt for a Class C CDL will have to have an endorsement of some kind, either HAZMAT or Passenger, since there is no such thing as an endorsement-free Class C CDL. You have to take the CDL written test to get it, but a Class C CDL is essentially a Class D operator license with an endorsement. Some van drivers merely opt for a Class B license free of endorsements.
Regardless of whether you don't have a HAZMAT endorsement, it would behoove you to become familiar with HAZMAT, which is why I push that people at the very least study the HAZMAT section in the CDL manual and take the practice tests. This is your job, and you need to know how to do it, even if you never haul HAZMAT.
Panther, for example, like many other carriers, won't put placardable HAZMAT on a van. They won't do this because van drivers are mostly morons who don't know their job, the rules and regulations, and when they're placarded they have to act and think like an actual professional driver (or so the theory goes). The turnover rate for van drivers is obscene, so there's little reason to waste time in teaching van drivers the rules regarding HAZMAT, logging and scaling, for just a handful of loads a year. It's easier just to put all placardable HAZMAT on a truck that already logs and scales every day.
CSR's, load planners, Safety and dispatchers all try to ensure that placardable HAZMAT not be booked on cargo vans in these cases. However, have you ever received a Load Offer that turned out to be be very different with regards to number of pieces and weight? I've had it happen several times where, say, the load offer was 1-piece, 500 pounds, and I get to the shipper and it's 1 skid of 4 drums of 2000 pounds of placardable HAZMAT. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of van drivers would just load and go and never give it a second thought, that, or think about it, but wouldn't want to give up the loaded miles and they'd run it anyway figuring nothing would happen. <snort>
I've also been recently dispatched to pick up what turned out to be 600 pounds of PG I aluminum powder, which is a nasty 4.3 Dangerous When Wet, always-placardable HAZMAT material, that can explode if it gets a little bit wet (used to make flash powder, fireworks, pyrotechnics, cherry bombs, stun grenades etc.), and I had the shipper insisting that if it was less than 1001 pounds it was fine to ship in an unplacarded cargo van. Table 1 from the HAZMAT book says otherwise. If you don't know your job, you may be ignorant or stupid enough to just load 'er up and drive off.
Even if you don't have a HAZMAT endorsement and/or you never haul HAZMAT, you'd better know the difference between HAZMAT and not-HAZMAT. That's your job.

And just to expand on the point I was making in the OP -- I'm pretty sure that there'll be many posters on TF in 10 years' time, and many commentators in the tennis media, who WILL be saying that the new generation will be better than the Williams/Belgians/Sharapova era, on the basis of nothing whatsoever, and I'm sure many of the people who are currently huge tennis fans would be amazed by it.
I agree with you that when ANYONE starts introducing entirely subjective criteria and assumptions (such as "the game is so much stronger/has more depth than back then") -- which is why imo GOAT debates have to rest entirely on quantifiable achievements.
Sorry, but look at the other thread -- many people HAVE been saying Serena is better, that Peak Graf would have no chance against Peak Serena, etc, using the "the game has evolved" logic.
I don't understand why the subject matter has to be so black or white for you. I mean as a general rule, yes the game does evolve. For example, the Seles-Capriati USO 91 semi was a level of womens tennis not seen before. Two women hitting the ball flat and hard from the baseline, consistently. That match was an exception at the time. By the early 2000s that level of tennis at the top was the norm!!! Sadly that evolution plateaued by the late 2000s, and infact the level at the top has somewhat declined (yes I believe a prime Graf would be very successful in todays game)
Evert and Navaratilova raised the bar in the late 70s, Graf's athleticism took the game to new heights in the late 80s/eary 90s and Seles inspired an entire generation with her hyper-aggressive baseline game. For me, the WTA reached its supposed peak so far in the early 2000s. The WS (and Belgians) were on par with Graf in athleticism (Graf was arguably faster, but speed was the only athletic edge id say she had over the WS) and were more explosive offensively than Seles. In my opinion of course.
Of course I would agree with you that the argument that Serena is the greatest ever, using the 'game has evolved' is rubbish. Graf achieved far more against the competition she had and that's fact!!!
big support for... Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Petra Kvitova, Ana Ivanovic, Vika Azarenka

Google has sold off a portion of the business it acquired from Motorola in 2011.
Networking hardware specialist Arris said that it had agreed to a $2.35bn deal in which it will acquire Motorola Home from Google. Specialising in set-top boxes, Motorola Home develops hardware for home entertainment and streaming video services.
"This transformational combination of two complementary businesses will create a leading end-to-end provider of today's video, data, and voice products and tomorrow's next-generation IP-based broadband products," said Arris chief executive Bob Stanzione.
"Ever-expanding consumer demand for bandwidth will continue to drive growth across cloud and network technologies we provide that enable innovative home entertainment products and services."
The move will help to rid Google of one of the peripheral businesses it acquired when it shelled out $12bn for Motorola Mobility. The company said that it made the deal in large part to add to its Android mobile platform, though Motorola's extensive patent catalogue was also cited as a factor in the deal.
While Google has been relatively quiet about its plans for Motorola Mobility, the company has vowed to operate as a separate entity.
Arris, meanwhile, estimates that its new acquisition will help the company raise its annual revenues by some $3.4bn.
"Acquiring Motorola Home builds on ARRIS' rich history, creating a global player with significant footprint, revenue and cash flow. It also adds expertise in video and a larger presence in the home to our core strengths in voice and data, ensuring we are even better positioned to capitalize on and manage the evolution toward multi-screen home entertainment," said Stanzione.
"We look forward to working with the Motorola Home team as we integrate their complementary product portfolio and engineering expertise to accelerate best-in-class end-to-end solutions to a broader customer base and increase value for shareholders."

These speakers are amazing..their craftsmanship is just uncanny to anything I've ever seen, or heard. Hands down if you've got the cash get these guys. They're hardly installed cause if rare complications with my interior. They are a solid fit, and are LOUD AND CRISP.... These dominate every speaker in my car, other than the sub in my trunk. I'd recommend over and over again..can not say enough. Get at em!!

Delivers a very clean sound that will stay clean for very high volumes. Mine personally fill the cabin perfectly and couldn't ask for better speakers
under $70. Even though I am getting subs later, these will provide lows into a certain range(more than you expect them to). All I have to say is I am very pleased and these punch nicely.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed recruitment, retention, and salaries of Senior Executive Service (SES) personnel at the National Science Foundation (NSF).
GAO found that: (1) NSF experienced recruiting problems at the SES level, but it did not maintain statistical data on availability of candidates who declined offers or chose not to apply; (2) although top quality candidates were reluctant to leave research for federal administrative positions, NSF attracted individuals whose salary levels did not meet the government pay cap; (3) as of April 1987, NSF filled 104 out of 114 authorized SES positions; (4) all career separations from fiscal year 1985 through April 1987 were due to retirement, resignation, or reductions-in-force; (5) salaries for Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) participants occupying SES positions were generally higher than SES employee salaries; and (6) IPA participants received reimbursement for consulting work for the period of their assignments.

Event Synopsis
"November 2nd. 3:00 PM in the afternoon. ~The date and time of Mutantkind's Decimation
After altering reality so mutants were the dominant race, the Scarlet Witch then changed reality again, this time attempting to rid the world of the mutant gene. 91.4% of the world's mutant population lost their powers overnight.[2] The Xavier Institute became a haven for those who still had their mutant powers, many of them attempting to escape persecution. Against the wishes of Institute professors Emma Frost and Scott Summers, the government assigned Sentinel Squad O*N*E to protect the mansion and its inhabitants.
The Sapien League took advantage of the situation by attacking the mansion and any mutants attempting to reach it.
Mutants at the Institute rallied around the number "198", an early government estimate of how many powered mutants were left in the entire world.
Reporter Sally Floyd interviewed a number of de-powered mutants for her Mutant Diaries report. However, a serial killer calling himself the Ghoul murdered several of those whom she interviewed, leaving "Not enough died" as a marker. The Ghoul was eventually killed in an explosion during an attempt to capture him by the X-Men. Given the nature of his teleportation powers, it's possible that the Ghoul survived.
The energy previously possessed by the mutants was orbiting Earth after the events of M-Day. While passing some orbiting rocks, the energy awakened Vulcan (Gabriel Summers). Eventually leaving orbit and entering atmosphere, the energy was absorbed by the Collective.
X-Factor has to face both with Rictor's powers loss, and the first step of Mutant Town end, shattered between sad or happy depowered mutants and anti-mutants activists.
Reversing the Effect
While the M-Day effect was initially thought to be irreversible, the following methods proved more or less effective in restoring mutant powers:
Using the Terrigen Mists of the Inhumans, Quicksilver was able to not only restore his own powers and those of others, but bring them back at an enhanced level. The side effect of this however, was that the powers often spun out of control and resulted in the death of the mutant. To date, the only "mutant" successfully permanently re-powered by this method is Luna Maximoff, who had initially her genetic markers mutant and inhuman cancelling each other. Pietro himself lost his terrigenesis-powers after he lost the Terrigen Crystals,[3] but his powers permanently returned to their normal level thanks to unknown means.[4]
In concordance with the High Evolutionary, Magneto was able to construct a machine to restore his powers, using the Dreaming Celestial and the product of what they called "a Celestial lobotomy". The machine however, was not only nearly impossible to construct but extremely dangerous. The process worked, and Magneto regained his mutant powers at the cost of the machine itself.
Apocalypse managed to restore the powers of Polaris (depowered by M-Day) after turning her into a Horseman. It was believed that Apocalypse simply gave her powers similar to her old ones through other means, but he seemingly managed to re-activate Polaris's X-Gene.[5]
After one of Legion's rogue personas, dubbing itself Moira, altered reality to create a world of constant war and struggle where he was a hero, some aspects of this reality bled through into the real world after Legion restored it. One of these aspects were the powers of Chamber. In this reality created by Legion, Chamber once again had his mutant powers in their old state, and upon returning reality to it's original form, Chamber kept his restored powers.
After falling into the M'Kraan Crystal and drifting into the White Hot Room, Professor Xavier regained his telepathic powers upon emerging.
Wanda Maximoff was able to reverse the M-Day effect on one mutant, Richtor. After losing the source of her enhanced powers, the Life Force, however, Wanda was unable to reverse it for anyone else.
The return of mutant messiah Hope Summers to the present triggered the first activated mutations since her own and M-Day. It is believed that this, along with Hope's unique ability to stabilise these mutants, were an extension of her relationship with the Phoenix Force.
The Phoenix Force travelled to Earth to claim Hope Summers as its host in order to reverse the Scarlet Witch's curse. It did so successfully, after Hope used its powers to re-ignite mutations across the world.
List of confirmed powered or depowered mutants
Known Powered Mutants
New Activates
Hope Summers is the first mutant born after the M-Day. After her return from the future she activated several new mutants:
Immediately after the "Phoenix No More" incanted by The Phoenix Messiah and the Scarlet Witch, the mutant race was restored. Although publicly known mutants regained their powers, about the same number of mutants as before M-Day popped up in the world. These list contains a few (mostly the first encountered by various teams of X-Men and their enemies).
Known Pre-M-Day Deceased Powered Mutants
It is possible that Jean Grey kept X-Gene in her DNA.[citation needed] Beast and Dark Beast have found none X-Gene in dead bodies of mutants in Genosha, so some dead mutants lost their powers. However, some have kept them, as seen in the Necrosha.
Known Depowered Mutants

Is Borders Bankruptcy Bound?
Barnes & Noble put itself up for sale in August, and in December, hedge fund manager William Ackman, who owns a 37% stake in Borders, said he was prepared to back a cash merger deal. Ackman proposed Borders purchasing Barnes & Noble for $16 a share.
"People who say the two shouldn't merge aren't looking at the whole picture," McTevia says. "If a merger doesn't take place it leaves two giant companies out there trying to compete in an industry that is going through major changes."
Given all of this, do you think Borders is bankruptcy bound or will it manage to turnaround its ailing business? Take our poll below to see what the consensus of
TheStreet is....

Half the Republicans You Know Are Insane
Photo Credit: shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
If I may, I would like to go over some figures with you regarding the current situation in America. I know numbers are boring and often perplexing in the main - I was an English Major, so if you put a pistol to my head and demanded I do long division, the pistol would have a better chance of coming up with the right answer before you painted the wall with my literature degree - but these numbers, I think, speak volumes, and have an unfortunately dramatic bearing on the state of modern American politics.
Public Policy Polling did a survey on the preponderance of belief in conspiracy theories among American voters, and the results are telling. For example, a question was posed about whether the respondents believe the Obama administration is coming to take their guns away, and 62% of Republicans answered "Yes." If you know five Republicans, that means three of them believe this, and a fourth has doubts. This, despite the fact that no gun legislation of any impact whatsoever has shadowed the president's desk since he took office.
When asked if they believe that Mr. Obama is secretly plotting to remain in office when his term expires, 44% of Republicans answered "Yes." If you know five Republicans, that means two of them believe this, and a third is halfway convinced. This, despite any supporting evidence whatsoever, and the fact that the man will be arrested and detained if he tries to enter the White House again after the inauguration in January of 2017.
When asked if Muslims are working to implement Sharia Law in America - the harshly medieval seventh-century Islamic code best represented by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Wahabists in the ranks of al Qaeda and (shhhh) a significant portion of the rebels in Syria - 44% of Republicans said it was true. If you know five Republicans, once again, two of them believe this, and a third is halfway convinced. Um...how? Where? In what way? Because women can now get free contraception and gay people have the same rights as you do? You think the Taliban is down with that?
Is the US government secretly staging "false flag" mass shootings all across the country in order to blame others and distract the country from their gun-grabbing, office-staying, Sharia-implementing ways? A full 26% of Republicans believe this, so if you know five of them, one is convinced of this, and another is well on his way. I'm sure all the left-leaning folks who believe that 9/11 was a Cheney-orchestrated "inside job" are thrilled to know their gospel has been co-opted by people who think 26 children were massacred in Connecticut so Mr. Obama could give everyone's guns to the Syrians, because that makes sense, too, apparently. Or something.
In short, and not to put too fine a point on it: if you know five Republicans, two of them are around-the-bend crazy, and a third needs a stern talking-to. That's not a majority, but it is pretty much half the crowd, and is a definite majority every time the crazy two convince the third to go their way, you know, just in case.
The thing is, those two-and-a-half Republicans you know are energetic voters, and they throw enormous weight in American politics. Thanks to the Republican gerrymandering process of 2010 and the berserk anti-information "news" bubble dominated by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, WorldNetDaily and the ceaseless gibberish machine that is Fox News, Republicans in general who even occasionally look to these outlets for information have been in an enforced state of flat-out derangement for years and years and years. The ones who go to the "liberal" news media for "information" are in a slightly leavened version of the same state, but vote Republican anyway out of habit and allegiance.
