For two years (December 2010 to December 2012), SMS Pro Lite was provided free to:
During that time, 880 companies signed up for the software and 560 followed through to complete their portal registration. Another need arose with many small operators that we wish to fulfill. These airports, start-up flight schools, MROs and FBOs have fewer than ten employees, and we want to provide them the BEST DEAL with SMS Pro™ 10/100. This provides ten employees for $100 monthly FULL access to all SMS Pro™ modules (over 60 as of 2012). SMS Pro Lite is no longer free. However, we continue to have many free resources. See below links to access these free templates and checklists.
Remain Aware (24"x36")
Stay Alert When Low Visibility (24"x36")
Follow Cockpit Procedures (24"x36")
Keep Communications Clear
Modify these to suit your needs. Optionally change the message and insert your safety URL. More coming soon...
Aviation SMS Implementation Plan checklists help aviation safety managers to review their safety management systems implementation progress. Safety managers can use these guidelines as a "gap analysis" against their SMS implementation.
These Implementation Plans serve as templates for aviation service providers and can be tailored to suite the needs of your airline or airport. The success of EVERY safety management system requires the support, commitment and participation of top management, supervisors and employees.
These next implementation plan links have more info.

The company, which built palm-shaped islands off Dubai's coast, has received offers from local and foreign banks to refinance its sukuk, on which it pays annual interest of 10 percent, Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said at a press conference in Dubai today. "Refinancing will not be an issue," he said.
Profit rose to 2.02 billion dirhams ($549 million) from 1.28 billion dirhams a year earlier, the company said in a statement. Revenue jumped 91 percent to 7.8 billion dirhams as the company handed over more homes and sold land, Lootah said.

Biggest thing - take it EASY! Work on their schedule, not yours. Stop to check out the little things.
Look into renting a stroller from an offsite rental service rather than the ones onsite, if you aren't bringing your own. It would be much cheaper. However, the onsite strollers do offer a lot of area for the kid to take a nap in. But please, watch out for other people's ankles!
If you are staying on property, consider taking a break mid-day and go back to the resort to nap and get refreshed. Without park hoppers, you can go back to the same park you were in earlier. With park hopper, you can go to a different park.
For yourselves, read up about Rider Switch (see the link in my signature). On attractions your child can't ride but you want to, you can at least take turns, especially while the little one naps.
Will your child be 3 at the start of the trip, or during/after? Children who are under three at the start of your trip do not require a ticket - even if they turn 3 during the trip.

I'm thinking about getting a Texas Ebony tree. Any problems, issues I should aware of? Invasive? Invasive roots? Allergies? Any thoughts on this tree would be great. |

I have one in the front yard. It has absolutely no problems or pests. It loves heat and grows fastest during hot summer. Keeps leaves in winter, but leaves arn't as green then. Thorns are sharp! Very sharp. I like it though, and selected it because it has a smaller canopy and needed that. |
- Posted by reversethong (My Page) on Mon, Apr 20, 09 at 23:45
Thanks I'm now debating that or the Texas Mtn Laurel |
- Posted by eric_tucson (My Page) on Tue, Apr 21, 09 at 19:06
I have one of those too! It was slow getting started and did not do well the first two years, but I think this year it is going to make real headway. It is no way as tall a tree as the TE. |
- Posted by reversethong (My Page) on Tue, Apr 21, 09 at 23:39
Do you have a preference Eric? That's cool that you have both trees. I need shade and privacy screening. Which one is likely to cause fewer allergic reactions? It will be fairly close to my window. The Ebony thorns scare me. I've heard nothing but good things about the Laurel, but I've seen them come in variety of shapes. I'm heading the nursery on Friday to look at the selection. The fragrant blooms of the Laurel are tempting. I also looked at Chinese Pistache, but it isn't evergreen and I believe they can get very large. |
Texas mountain laurel: entire plant is poisonous. But its a good choice. :-) (from the web - It forms a seedpod that contains red, round beans by late summer. The beans cause hallucinations at low levels. The beans are also very poisonous if the alkaloids within are released. The same seed coating that protect the seed from drought, however, will allow it to be swallowed and pass through our bodies without harm, in most cases.) |

The is laurel safe to keep around edible plants? My entire backyard is edible plants. |

I'd go with Texas Ebony - get a decent 15 gallon variety and within a few years you'll be rewarded with a handsome very green (but thorny!) tree that stays green all winter and eventually develops a beautiful canopy. Not too messy, it does develop brown pods at some point in the year but not to the point where it litters the yard. Easy to maintain with basic pruning maybe once every spring to help develop the canopy, is definitely drought resistant and can go on a low maintenance drip system! |
I don't have any experience with the Texas Ebony, but did have a Texas Mtn Laurel for several years. It has the beautiful purple flowers in the early summer that smell like grapes, but these do form pods that will drop later. Also I had a continuing battle with caterpillars eating the leaves. Here is a little info on that problem: "Its only pest problem is the Genista caterpillars which occasionally will feed on the plant's foliage but which may be easily controlled with an application or two of B.t. spray". I eventually gave up the battle with the caterpillars and cut down the tree. |

It does get pests. My Texas Ebony has small holes in the trunk. The tree guy said it is horn beetle bore. He wants $400.00 to treat and prune. It is about 25 feet tall, 13 years old, multi-trunk. Very pretty tree but how do I get rid of these beetles. Thanks for any information you can provide. |

we've had a scare with the texas mt. laurel. The seeds in the pods are extremely poisonous and very attractive to kids because they rattle like marracas and they're red. I made the mistake of bringing some home and letting my kids play with the pods and seeds. Then I read up on the plant and freaked out in the middle of the night because we couldn't find all the seeds they played with and we weren't sure if someone had swallowed any. Nothing happened, but yes, if someone did swallow them without chewing, they would most likely pass through without problems, but if it was chewed, you might as well say goodbye, because the poison is very potent. The natives used to use them in their ceremonies to induce hallucinations, but they used them in very minute amounts and in a controlled environment. The other scary thing is that after doing research on it, I called the poison control people, and the lady totally had her plants mixed up. for some stupid reason she thought we're talking about peyote. (I guess the beans are also refered to as "mescal beans" and the active compound in peyote cactus is mescaline so maybe that's where she got her stuff mixed up). but that's scary. Suppose someone really did have an emergency and this person was giving them bogus info. anyway. I have kids, and I wouldn't grow the plant, otherwise it's beautiful, but very slow growing. I thought that BT pretty much takes care of the caterpillar problem. Texas Ebony is a beautiful tree. Too bad I don't have patience for it LOL... I'm the sissoo type of person. Get a 20 ft shade tree in 2 years... wam bam... thank you ma'am. :) |

We have a Texas Ebony that is very messy, dropping pods and their berries plus lots of small leaves on our patio. The thorns make it painful to trim and it grows quickly and to the ground. The doves love to nest in it so that makes a huge mess on our pavers. We are considering cutting it down and are looking for a native Arizona tree that is not so messy and requires little water. |
A native that's not messy and requires little water... hmmm... that's gonna be tough. Mexican fan palms are probably pretty clean, as are the big blue ones (sorry, I'm blanking on the name - Bismark, maybe?). Just about all the natives are deciduous, so they're going to drop leaves. Those that flower, like the Desert Museum Palo Verde might not have pods, but the flower drop is like a carpet - a rather pretty one, IMO, but that's me. Ironwoods have thorns, too, and are pretty slow to grow. Maybe a non-native, some of the Eucs or Acacia? Acaia willardiana is a very light, feathery tree with cool peeling bark, you might like that. Not sure if it's native, but it is drought tolerant. |

One Thing to Claim
As you strive to please God in 2010…
- What is one promise you need to claim?
Even though Samuel had anointed young David as the future King of Israel, for years it looked like it would never come to pass.
When David found himself again on the run from King Saul, he tried to find safety among the Philistines. Deciding his best play was to act crazy, he found himself awkwardly caught between a rock and a hard place.
That's when David implied that there were many things he didn't know. But there is one thing he did know for sure. Psalm 56:9-10 in TLB says, "This one thing I know: God is for me! I am trusting God-oh, praise his promises! I am not afraid of anything mere man can do to me! Yes, praise his promises."
Although David didn't know much, he knew that God was with him.
Scripture is full of God's promises. Here are a few.
God promises:
- To meet every need you have from his riches. (Phil 4:19)
- You won't be tempted beyond what you can handle. (1 Cor 10:13)
- To forgive all your sins. (Eph. 1:7; 1 Jn. 1:9)
- To make everything work for your good. (Rom 8:28)
- He'd never leave you or forsake you. (Heb 13:5)
- To be your ever present help in trouble. (Ps. 46:1)
- To give strength to the weary and power to the weak. (Isa 40:29)
- To guide you and give you direction. (Ps. 32:8)
- To give you a peace that goes beyond your understanding. (Phil 4:7)
- To give you power to defeat Satan (James 4:7)
- Nothing would separate you from God's love. (Rom. 8:39)
- You are more than conquerors. (Rom. 8:37)
- Eternal life through Christ (John 10:27-28)
What one promise (not limited to this list) do you need to claim?

Just days after President Barack Obama announced an executive order and presidential policy directive to bolster federal cybersecurity, the Government Accountability Office has released a new report calling for government officials to better define and implement cyber strategies.
GAO has been studying the government's information security posture for more than a decade; in 1997 the agency designated federal information security as a governmentwide high-risk area. In 2003, it expanded that designation to include cyber-vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure. A decade later the issue is more prominent than ever, but do the latest efforts stack up to the watchdog's recommendations?
Some of GAO's enduring areas of concern are explicitly targeted in the new White House orders: designing and implementing methods for assessing risks and sharing information, particularly within critical infrastructure; detecting, responding to and mitigating cyber incidents; designating roles and responsibilities; and instituting milestones and performance measures.
National Strategy, Roles, and Responsibilities Need to Be Better Defined and More Effectively Implemented
The lexicon sounds familiar as top officials from the agencies closest to the new cyber policies have been making the rounds in Washington, fleshing out the executive order, the PPD and initial plans for how they will be executed. Yet while the measures directly address some priorities that GAO laid out in the report, they are far from a panacea.
"The report that GAO released does raise a lot of very familiar stories," said Michael Daniel, White House cybersecurity coordinator. "The issues it raises unfortunately are not new -- we've been trying to deal with a lot of these problems for some time. I would say that if you take what we're doing with the executive order and the PPD, we're really trying to address some of those key areas."
Daniel, speaking Feb. 15 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, added that the two new documents represent a catalyst for the government in addressing some of GAO's core issues.
"Can we raise the baseline level of cybersecurity in our critical infrastructure?" he said. "Can we continue down a path -- you've already seen, in response to incidents over the past year, the government has improved its information-sharing with the private sector. And we need to keep doing better."
One of GAO's primary recommendations is for the White House cybersecurity coordinator to develop an overarching federal cybersecurity strategy that provides more efficient framework and better ensures progress. Daniel said that effort is now under way, but the White House initiatives alone won't be enough to tackle the full range of cyber issues the government faces.
"There are things in that GAO report that deal with, for example, how the federal government works to protect its own networks. And there are improvements that we need to make there - some of which we're already starting to make with DHS," Daniel said. "But some of that we need legislation to do. In the long run, the executive order and the PPD will address some of what the GAO identifies, and we've got other efforts we have ongoing. There still is some additional legislative work that remains."

So far, progress towards the Copenhagen meeting in December to determine the successor to the Kyoto protocol has been mixed at best. China is holding out for concessions the developed world is highly unlikely to grant, the US climate bill has been heavily criticised, as has Japan's recent commitments, while Australia's emissions-trading proposals languish.
The G8 commitment yesterday to an 80 per cent reduction in emissions by 2050 sounds quite encouraging, until you get to the baseline vagueness.
But hold on a moment. Perhaps things aren't so bad?
Point Carbon, an emissions trading consultancy, puts the chances of an agreement at Copenhagen at more than 50 per cent. Not much more than 50 per cent, but still. Their reasoning is partly based on the relatively fast passage of the Waxman-Markey bill through the House of Representatives. Although it passed only narrowly and the Senate looks somewhat dicey, the Point Carbon report estimates the bill to more likely than not to pass in time for Copenhagen. A US commitment to an emissions cap and trade scheme will make a multilateral agreement much more likely.
Meanwhile Rajendra Pachauri, the chair of the IPCC, says he is 'cautiously optimistic' of an accord being reached. Pachauri was similarly encouraged by Waxman-Markey's passage through the House.
However Dr Pachauri's comments bear some closer examination:
"If you didn't have someone like President Obama who repeatedly has been emphasizing his commitment to this issue, I would have had no hope at all."
It seems closer to desperation than optimism.

That is hardly 10% and actually around 47%, and you have to consider the guilds that don't have more then 10 players, which won't make it to this list but some might do Gruul pugs (like a few people I know on my server that do).

Many basic human activities are difficult in a pounding monsoon. Like, say, walking, or seeing anything. So from that we can deduce that the difficulty of football activities is also multiplied. Want to throw down field? Ha, good luck running around those small ponds while the pocket collapses and holding on to that slippery ball, and then catching said ball.
I just described the conditions for today's Browns-Raiders game in Oakland. That is, if the game was being played at about 10 a.m. local time, which it isn't. And if the game was kicking off during the height of an overall brutal day of weather on the left coast, which it isn't. React to the weather reports you're seeing right now plastered all over your Twitter timelines, but don't overreact.
The players in question with such extreme weather are, of course, primarily the quarterbacks and wide receivers. You weren't starting Brandon Weeden anyway unless you're in a two QB league, but Carson Palmer is a fine play for the deep-ish leaguer. And Denarius Moore and Josh Gordon are solid plays in various spots for any owner in any league, even with Moore facing Joe Haden for much of the afternoon.
So understandably you're worried about reports of possibly over an inch of rain falling in Oakland between Sunday morning and Monday morning. But when we activate the 100 Yards and Running radar system we learn that the heavenly powers above are unleashing that pounding almost entirely before the game is set to kickoff at 1:00 p.m. PT, with the heavy rain turning into lighter, scattered showers around noon.
From then on the concern lies with the wind. At the height of mother nature's fury this morning in the Bay Area, gusts are expected to reach up to about 27 miles per hour. Yeah, nuts. But around kickoff that drops to a still gusty although now very manageable nine miles per hour.
The field will, of course, be soaked, with water hazards, and perhaps even a few muddy sand traps popping up. That alone is a concern, and if you're in a situation on your roster where there's a difficult decision involving Gordon at the WR3 or flex spot, then you can use the field conditions as a tie breaker.
But with the weather at gametime expected to be only unfavorable and still very playable, the conditions shouldn't be weighed too heavily beyond that. They're a factor, but a small one, so don't overreact and make a rash, regrettable last-minute decision, like one that ends with Moore on the bench. Obviously Darren McFadden should be benched, because he's likely not playing as the Raiders protect his recently recovered glass body from the slop fest. There's one easy decision, with Marcel Reece's value now quickly rising against a middle tier run defense.
Again, though, the weather and the conditions it will produce is a tie breaker, and nothing more.

Ballin: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 71 points on 56 percent shooting. The entire Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup had 69. LeDwyane Jades also added 13 rebounds, 16 assists, eight steals and two blocks for good measure.
Not so much: Kevin Love shot 8-25, which is terrible. But he finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds, so it at least looks good.
Looking is for jerks: Standard alley-oops are old and busted. No look alley-oops are the new hotness.
If you're scoring at home, that's a "Men in Black II" reference in the year 2012. You're welcome.
Shocker: Reggie Evans, Kenyon Martin and Francisco Garcia shared the court for the first time this season. Naturally, the three of them got in to a skirmish and Kenyon got T'd up. It's his fourth technical in just 11 games, good for 17th in the league already. He hasn't lost a step.
Stupid: This shot is just so stupid. So, so stupid.
Are you kidding me, Kevin Durant? This shot, man. So dumb. In a good way.
Welcome back: Joel Przybilla is back, you guys, so I hope you've kept your Ghostface references up to date. After not playing a single minute for nearly a year, Przydawg had six rebounds and four points in 19 minutes, for he is Joel Przybilla.
Other things: Here's Marc Gasol clapping during the All-Star Game — while he's playing … Lamar Odom is headed to the D-League … Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas are your Rookies of the Month for February. RIP Ricky Rubio … Eric Spoelstra and Gregg Popovich are your Coaches of the Month for February. RIP Vinny Del Negro … Byron Mullens just became British and will join Luol Deng on Great Britain's national team for this summer's Olympics

What did you think of the incident and suspension of the Jets' assistant strength coach -- Sal Alosi -- sticking out his leg and tripping the Dolphins' Nolan Carroll? --Frank C.
I was watching the game but didn't notice it until the replay when I looked at it and said, "Did that really just happen?" Countless players and coaches have thought about tripping an opposing player running by but actually doing it? Shameful.
Alosi will receive a suspension for the rest of the season along with a $25,000 fine and not have any interaction with the team. NFL assistant strength coaches earn approximately $100,000, so this discipline will be felt, as it should.
Ironically, the "get back" coach, the person who is always telling players to move back off the sideline, is usually the assistant strength coach. Wouldn't it be interesting if Alosi was the "get back" coach for the Jets!
My thoughts turn to the injured Dolphin, Nolan Carroll. What if the injury ended his season? What if he had playtime or performance incentives in his contract that he could not reach because of the actions of a opposing coach?
Carroll is a fifth-round pick this year who certainly has a "split" contract with a lower salary if he is placed on injured reserve, meaning his $320,000 salary would revert to a $225,000 salary. If he were indeed injured from the trip and placed on IR, would he be made whole? I would think so, whether from Alosi, the Jets or the NFL.
Players assume the financial risk of injury at the hands of other players or even the playing surface. No player, however, assumes the risk of a deliberate act from a coach on the sidelines inserting himself into the action.
What goes into moving a game like the Vikings-Giants? --Kelly R.
It is hard to understand all the logistics involved in what the collapse of the Metrodome roof caused this weekend for the Giants, Vikings and Lions (the hosting team for the Giants-Vikings game).
The Giants, due to the massive snowstorm in Minneapolis, were diverted to Kansas City, where they had to park themselves for four hours before eventually spending the night there.
Can you imagine the Giants travel director calling the Kansas City Airport Marriott and the Detroit Westin, where they stayed on consecutive nights, saying the following: "We are coming to your hotel now and need about 60 rooms, meals for 100, meeting rooms and tight security for our team." Uh, ok. Giants executives have told me the efforts of these two hotels and their Continental charter personnel were above and beyond the normal level of service.
As for the Vikings, they were on a call with the league office soon after the Metrodome collapse and were wheels-up eight hours later having addressed the logistics they needed.
Some of the other issues involved with the cancellation of the game at the Metrodome are:
There were also rare intersections of teams. While the Giants cooled their heels in the Kansas City airport, they watched the Chiefs board their charter to San Diego. And while the rival Packers were on their way out of Detroit, the Vikings were arriving to play in the same facility the next day.
The ripple effect of the roof collapse of the Metrodome is large, certainly larger even than what is mentioned above. Vikings ownership has another card to play with the Minnesota legislature in its drive for public funding of a new stadium. They will now certainly have more support from the Giants and the NFL.
Weren't the Chiefs, who have just given new deals to Derrick Johnson and Jamaal Charles, one of the lowest paying teams in the NFL this year? --Ed G.
They were, and having success with that low payroll.
This unique year has proven that the key fact about a Cap is not its ceiling – the upper limit – but its floor, the threshold for spending a team must exceed. A number of teams have made this a "recovery year", spending less on player payroll and getting ready for the next system, whenever that may be.
Teams that have spent well below the last "minimum" from 2009, $108 million, include teams doing well – Chiefs, Jaguars, Buccaneers – as well as teams not doing well – Broncos, Cardinals, Bills, Panthers.
Buoyed by their success, the Chiefs have now extended two core players: running back Jamaal Charles and linebacker Derrick Johnson. Between the two of them, the Chiefs have committed a potential $70 million of total value (although that is highly unlikely) and a reported $28 million of guaranteed money ($15 million to Johnson, $13 million to Charles). While most teams are standing pat in the face of the expiration of the CBA in a couple months, the conservative Chiefs are opening up the checkbook. Maybe it's the holiday cheer.

The Bulletin compiles news from in and around the US South. We hope these posts will provide space for lively discussion and debate regarding issues of importance to those living in and intellectually engaging with the US South.
- On Thursday, the New Orleans Times-Picayune announced that it "will significantly increase its online news-gathering efforts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while offering enhanced printed newspapers on a schedule of three days a week." Residents of greater New Orleans will only be able to read the 175-year old paper via the print edition on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays or in its online form at www.NOLA.com. Three Alabama newspapers (The Birmingham News, Mobile's Press-Register, and The Huntsville Times) also announced that they would be publishing three days per week and focusing on online news; all four papers are owned by the media company Advance Publications.
- The Alabama Legislature passed Senator Gerald Dial's (R-Lineville) plan for redistricting the state's thirty-five Senate districts in the wee hours of Thursday morning. State Democrats—none of whom voted for the bill—have suggested that the Department of Justice will not approve the plan because it reduces the influence of African American voters across the state. The Alabama Legislative Reapportionment Office details the changes, which reduce the number of majority-white districts in which African Americans make up at least 25% from eleven to six, in this helpful interactive map.
- The US Department of Labor is investigating Florida's implementation of strict new rules for unemployment insurance eligibility after the National Unemployment Law Project and Florida Legal Services jointly filed a detailed complaint which argues that the new rules violate Section 303(a)(1) of the Social Security Act, which requires states to "establish methods of administration reasonably calculated to insure payment of benefits when due." The rules in question are a part of a series of changes to the state's Unemployment Insurance law enacted in December of 2011 (HB7005).

»AJ Cann, Peer Review, 2008. |
We get a lot of inquiries from potential authors about the submission and review process here at Southern Spaces. In addition to special series, we accept submissions on a rolling basis. We look for pieces that engage with our mission of critically interrogating the real and imagined spaces of the US South and their global connections.
Southern Spaces has an online submission process that helps us keep submissions and media organized and streamlines review. Once an author has submitted, our editorial staff begins the process of internal review. The staff looks at several criteria:
- Quality: Does the piece do critical/analytical work, or is it only illustrative/descriptive? Does the content meet our standards in terms of research and quality of writing? Would the piece require a substantial amount of editing/reworking?
- Fit for the journal: Does the piece use a spatial approach to its subject? Does it focus on the role of space, place, or region within its main arguments? Does it deal with the US South in some way? How might this piece work in terms of formatting/layout? Does it come with practical, usable media or media ideas?
- Originality: Has the piece been published elsewhere? Do the arguments seem fresh, or have you heard them before? Does the piece traffic in new and progressive ideas about US Souths or southern distinctiveness and nostalgia?
- Permissions: Would using the content or suggested media require extensive, expensive, or impossible permissions?
If the piece meets our criteria, the staff either returns the work back to the author for edits or sends the piece to peer review. Southern Spaces has a double-blind peer review process—neither the author nor the reviewer knows the other's identity. We have over one hundred editorial reviewers, and we're constantly adding new specialists. The majority of authors are asked to revise and resubmit work in the internal review stage; it's fairly rare that a piece is sent straight to peer review. Revise and resubmit isn't a rejection; it's how Southern Spaces makes sure that we're sending the highest quality work to peer reviewers.
Once authors have received their peer review feedback, we begin the final round of revision and copyedits. Southern Spaces generally has a fairly short turnaround time—depending on the amount of revision necessary, we can generally publish articles in three to six months from the initial submission.
Submission Process

Twin Branch, West Virginia. Once very nice, owned by Ford. About four years ago when an attempt to organize it was made, Ford closed it down completely rather than have it unionized. Around 1000 men used to work there. They won't sell it, rent or let 'squatters' live in the deserted homes that are rotting away." LC-USF34-050274-E. |

»Southern Spaces is excited to announce a collaboration with the Southern Labor Studies Association. We will publish selected pieces from their 2013 conference in a special series, growing our labor studies offerings and presenting significant new scholarship. We encourage scholars to submit panels that engage with ideas of space and place. Below is the SLSA's call for panels.
The Many Souths
Southern Labor Studies Association, New Orleans
March 7–9, 2013
The Southern Labor Studies Association is soliciting panels for its 2013 conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The conference theme, the "Many Souths," invites a broad range of panels on southern working-class history, while at the same time it asks participants to examine how we have conceptualized the region: as rural and/or urban; as a single region, or as multiple regions, e.g. the Mountain South, Deep South; as part of the Caribbean, Gulf Coast, and/or Atlantic World; and as a region defined by particular sets of race, class, and gender relations.
New Orleans is an ideal place to do this, as it is often set apart as somehow "exceptional" or outside the South in popular culture and historical accounts. For some, it is a city distinct from the rest of the South, even as for others, it is very much part of the South's economic and racial framework. Others see New Orleans as a Caribbean capital. In fact, New Orleans, like much of the South, is often "exemplary" of larger historical trends related to migration, de-industrialization, the rise of the service economy, the importance of tourism, race relations, violence, and working-class struggles.
To this end, we welcome full panels on a broad range of southern labor themes, including panels related to slavery and unfree labor; prisons and labor; oil, fishing, and the Gulf Coast; work and disaster capitalism; tourism and the service economy; music and cultural workers; sex workers; the Global South; African American labor history; Latino and migrant workers; gender and labor activism; and migration throughout the South.
Please submit panels by September 14, 2012. Panel submissions must include a brief synopsis of the panel (250 words), abstracts for each paper (250 words), a 2 page CV of each participant, contact information for each participant, and contact information for panel organizer. Please submit panels to both Jana Lipman at email@example.com and Steve Striffler at email@example.com.

»John Vachon, Workers leaving Pennsylvania shipyards, Beaumont, Texas, 1943. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, FSA/OWI Color Photographs Collection, LC-USW36-839. |
Southern Spaces recently added six new images to the rotating selection on our home page's nameplate. We selected these images from the newly digitized Library of Congress collection of Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Color Photographs. This collection includes 1,600 color photographs taken between 1939 and 1944. Many of the images depict rural farming practices, social life in towns, factories and their environmental effects, and aspects of World War II mobilization.
The FSA/OWI Color Photographs collection complements the LoC's Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives collection which, with 175,000 images, dwarfs the color collection. The black-and-white collection includes such iconic images as Dorothea Lange's 1936 Migrant Mother photograph and images by Let Us Now Praise Famous Men photographer Walker Evans.
These black and white photographs—many of which represent places in the US South—have become seared into the southern imaginary. Calling up associations of segregation and depression-era rural poverty, the photographs both tie the present-day South to these associations, and due to their black and white format, consign them to the distant past. Mediated by this representation, the South itself becomes separated from the present.
In color, however, these images present themselves as relevant to the present, rather than consigned to the past. By displaying the problems they depict—such as segregation, poverty, and environmental degradation—in a contemporary form, the images imply that such problems may continue to be critical today.
Southern Spaces will be posting images from the FSA/OWI Color Photographs collection, with captions, to our Featured Images series in the months to come. The images we chose to include in our banner are collected below.

- Powerplant: unknown/not released
- Type: UAV
- Role: reconnaissance UAV

Since the RQ-170 is declassified in December 4th 2009 in 2007 once in Kandahar international airport a B-2 or X-45 like aircraft was found taxing but it was classified during that time and another one was also spotted over Afghanistan.
Operational historyEdit
The Sentinels is operated by the 30th reconnaissance squadron based at Tonopah test range airport in Nevada and used over Tilaban and Al qaida bases for enemy ground actions, but both of the terrorist organizations have no radar so some people guess that it was used to spy on Iran or pakistan but there is no evidence. According to the south korean JongAng daily newspaper released in December 2009 that the RQ-170 was been test flighted in South Korea for the past flew months and will be replacing the U-2 permanently in 2010 that also means replacing the older replacement that is retired because it is taking it's role.

House approves GOP plan to maintain tax rates for all after defeating Dem plan
From: Fox News | August 1, 2012
The votes Wednesday only served to put lawmakers on record as backing the positions that they've generally held for months, and it's unclear is where lawmakers and President Obama will go from here to try to avert at least some of the looming tax hikes set to go into effect in January when the Bush-era rates expire.

Cardiology Update & 4th Birthday
Jacob had his yearly cardiology appointment recently. We were lucky to be able to schedule with the outpatient clinic in Riverton which is an extension of Primary Children's Hospital but way less busy. I had tried to prepare Jacob for the appointment so he would understand what was going to happen by telling him he would get stickers on him (EKG) and then some fun goop (gel) on his chest for the Echocardiogram. When we got there he started saying "I don't want stickers. I don't want goop." He didn't want to take off his shirt for the EKG stickers. So the nurses bribed him. He got to pick a stuffed animal. He picked a cute monkey. He let me take off his shirt and held still for the EKG.
Then we went into the other room for the Echo. Again Jacob had more whining about the goop, but we put on Toy Story to watch and gave him a sucker. He laid down and cooperated really well. In fact the Echo Tech said "I wish all my patients today would act as good as you!"
We met with the the Cardiology Fellow. She was super sweet and asked a ton of questions about how Jacob was doing, how active he was, his development, any concerns, etc. I was glad to be able to tell her that Jacob is growing and developing right on target. He is potty trained and talking up a storm. He does gets extra tired some times (still takes naps), wants to be carried if we are walking a lot and will go a little blue if he is super cold. But there are no real things that we are worried about in his day to day activities.
Dr. Etheridge came in and talked to us. She is really happy with how Jacob is looking. They are still watching the Pulmonary Branch Stenosis and the Aortic Root Dilation, but neither has gotten any worse so that is wonderful news. We will go back in another year and do it all again. Yea for a good report!
Jacob is now a big 4 year old! His is excited to be a big boy. I am so glad he is potty trained. We are still working with him to stop sucking his thumb. He picked Tony the tiger cereal for his birthday breakfast cereal. He wanted to have a Red Birthday Party with our family. So we had everything red: plates, cups, silverware, napkins, streamers, jello, strawberries, kool-aid, cake, ice cream & chicken (regular color) but with ketchup. It was a great day.
During dinner my sweet husband was reflecting on where we were 4 years ago when Jacob was born. Our 10 year old daughter commented "I am so glad we have the church." When I asked her what she meant she talked about my husband having the Priesthood and gratitude that Jacob has been blessed to still be with our family. I want to echo her gratitude for having the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. I do not know how we would have coped without the comfort of the Holy Ghost, the understanding of the Plan of Salvation, prayers offered in our behalf, and the Christ-like service that was rendered (and still is) to our family.

Happy Birthday Jacob! He is adorable. I'm glad his check-up went well. It is always great to get good news. I haven't heard about being able to do the check-ups in Riverton. I'll have to look into that, it would be much easier.

He's darling. And growing up so fast! I love it when those cardiology check-ups go well. I'm always so anxious right before them, even though I know the outcome will probably still be good!
E is 12 and we were pleased with his last one, as was his cardiologist.
So glad Jacob is doing well!! - May 3, 2011 at 8:22 PM

My Fisher Paykel GWL15 Washer is making a progressively louder roar anytime the tub is spinning. I rotated the tub by hand and there is a noticeable noise, low frequency but not grinding yet. I've heard bad bearing noises before in my line of work, and am sure the shaft bearing(s) are failing.
Anyone have experience with this issue & what was done?
Note that there was also a high pitch noise when the pump was running. I removed the pump and found the rotor would chatter when spun by hand. The chatter went away when I lubed the outer bushing next to the fan blade end. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry I can't help you, but in the past I often referred for help on this forum. The techs that answer are pretty knowlegeable about American appliances. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Appliance411 Forum
This is a follow-up to document for others what was found and the repair accomplished. After obtaining the service manual and evaluating all the listed potential causes, I started disassembly and checking per the list. After I removed the magnetic rotor from the bottom of the outer tub, I hand rotated the shaft to see if the bearings seemed rough or binding. To my surprize, I saw the shaft retaining nut move too! The nut was loose and probably only kept from coming off by the mag rotor. The shaft rotated with both a gritty feel and a repeated binding effect. When I removed the shaft, I found that the tubular bearing spacer was very loose inside and after removal, appeared to have been wobbling to cause the repeated binding effect. The loose shaft retainer nut was probably the root cause of my problem: this allowed the bearing stackup to separate enough for the spacer to start wobbling/hanging, driving the bearings further apart. At some point the vibration probably caused some minor seal leakage, because I did find the upper or inner bearing was rusty on top and gritty when turned, even though it is a "sealed" bearing. It definitely was damaged and failing. I suspect the horendous level of noise had actually been generated by the loose spacer wobbling around. I replaced both bearings and the seal, and made sure the spacer was tight between the bearings (to comfirm not worn when wobbling), and that the retainer nut was good and tight. As a side note: The service manual called for a bearing replacement tool kit, which turned out to be prohibitively expensive. Having experience with changing bearings in various gearboxes, I came up with my own tool pkg, by purchasing a threaded rod, 3 nuts and assorted washers of necessary diameters. Since I knew I had to replace the bearings(comes in a kit), I just used a non metal rod to tap out the outer bearing first, but one has to be careful not to tap too hard due to potential to damage the housing. The rest of the process was performed with the threaded rod, nuts & washers. |

jackpot where did you get you manual. I am trying to remove the shaft be not having much luck at it. Binds have way. I have use from on the bottom with a hammer on a block of oak again the tip of the shaft.Any suggestions. |
I got my manual copy from a board member. If you still need it, I can provide it: email@example.com To remove the shaft, you have to buy the metric threaded bolt and 2 nuts, so you can use it to lock into the bottom end of the shaft, to then hold the shaft while loosening the shaft nut. It is complicated, and difficult to do without the tool kit you can't buy, and is expensive. |
I have just recently replaced the bearings and lipseal on my GW512 Excellence Fisher & Paykel washer and have writen up a blow by blow description on how to do it. Enjoy: Changing The Bearings On a Fisher & Paykel GW512 Excellence I used the Fisher & Paykel Parts Manual # 517751 as a reference. Remove washing machine to a safe area and lay on its side. Removal Procedure Reassembly 19. Lightly grease the metal insert where the bearings sit. Insert the top bearing and seat. |
Thanks to Joonya:- I used your comprehensive checklist to repair my F&P washer. I made a tool for removing the seal and bearings. It consisted of a 14" long X 1/2" rod with a small piece of 1/4" steel welded onto the bottom like a foot. It was ground and filed to allow it to pass through the bearings and , in use, was lightly tapped with a hammer in various positions to ease the part out evenly. I also had a threaded rod with nuts and flange to draw the two replacement bearings tightly together in the housing. I am a bit surprised that there was not a tag washer to lock the shaft nut in place below the bottom bearing. I used some non hardening liquid called 'Loctite" and hope it will do the job. Not sure what the model would be in the US but it was a F & P Pride 5.5 in Australia |

Deadpool Adds Two New X-Characters to His Cast
High Moon got Deadpool's approval to introduce fellow X-Force member Psylocke and frequent X-adversary Mr. Sinister to his upcoming action game.
It's not entirely clear what role these guest-stars will play in Deadpool, but the expanding cast of Marvel heroes and villains should do well to make fans happy. Unfortunately, that happiness may come at the expense of Deadpool's, as it's unlikely the "merc with a mouth" will be thrilled at having to share any of the spotlight in what's supposed to be a solo game.
You can check out Deadpool's character run downs of both Sinister and Psylocke below. Sadly, Psylocke appears to be stuck in her old costume, which reeks of the 90s, but at least she'll be appearing in game.
Which other Marvel characters do you want to see make an appearance in Deadpool?

Tournaments :: news
Walmart Bass Fishing League - Michigan
Grand River (Aug. 7, 2004)
Liechty wins Michigan Division event on Grand River
WEST OLIVE, Mich. — Jim Liechty of Fort Wayne, Ind., earned $3,906 Saturday as winner of the third regular-season Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Michigan Division event, held on the Grand River near West Olive. He caught five bass weighing 12 pounds, 8 ounces to claim the win and 200 points in the Boater Division.
Liechty is riding quite a hot streak, having won the July 10 Michigan Division event on the Detroit River and following that up with an EverStart Series victory on the same fishery two weeks later. For this Saturday's win, Liechty also earned a $1,000 bonus from Ranger Boats as the highest-finishing participant in the Ranger Cup incentive program, and he earned another $500 from Yamaha because his boat is powered by a Yamaha outboard. Garmin also awarded him $1,000 for using only Garmin electronics during the event.
Rounding out the top five boaters are Mark Flick of Delton (five bass, 12 pounds, 2 ounces, $1,953); Brian Rand of Mattawan (five bass, 11 pounds, 13 ounces, $1,328); Daniel Boersema of Muskegon (five bass, 11 pounds, 7 ounces, $1,016); and Thomas Overholt Jr. of Grand Rapids (four bass, 11 pounds, 1 ounce, $859).
Overholt earned $715 as the Boater Division big-bass award winner thanks to a 3-pound, 15-ounce bass he caught on a football jig.
Mike Haws of Osceola, Ind., claimed $1,817 as winner of the Co-angler Division with a five-bass catch weighing 12 pounds, 10 ounces that he caught on Senko.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Simeon Stearns of North Vernon, Ind. (five bass, 10 pounds, 3 ounces, $908); Stephen Roth of Syracuse, Ind. (four bass, 8 pounds, 11 ounces, $618); Rick Kovary of Waterford Township (two bass, 6 pounds, $472); and Kevin Burkhalter of Decatur, Ind. (three bass, 5 pounds, 6 ounces, $400).
Kovary also earned $323 as the co-angler big-bass winner with a 4-pound, 4-ounce bass he caught on a tube.
The Michigan Division's next stop will be Aug. 21 on the Detroit River in Trenton, and the regular season will come to a close Sept. 18-19 with a two-day Super Tournament on the Detroit River in Trenton.
Following the regular season, the top 30 boaters and 30 co-anglers based on year-end points standings will advance to the Kentucky Lake regional presented by Yamaha near Gilbertsville, Ky., Oct. 12-16, where they will compete against anglers from the Choo Choo, Great Lakes and Hoosier divisions for one of six slots in the 2005 All-American. With a $100,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and $50,000 to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in competitive bass fishing.
Every angler who receives weight credit in a tournament earns points, with 200 points going to the winner, 199 for second, 198 for third, and so on except for Super Tournaments, which award 300 points to the winner, 299 for second, 298 for third, and so on. These points determine angler standings. The Michigan Division boater who amasses the most points at the end of the regular season will earn $1,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader, and the co-angler earning the most points will earn $500 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points leader in the Co-angler Division.
The $6.3 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 24 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired, with boaters supplying the boat and fishing against other boaters and co-anglers fishing from the back deck against other co-anglers. For more information or to enter a tournament, call (270) 252-1000 or browse this Web site.

Hello. Last fall I decided to do the Ruth Stout method and so I layed a nice layer of straw over 1/2 of my garden. (Didn't get to the other half fortunately!) Now, my garden is covered in grass! I could just cry. What should I do? Rake it up and burn it. Leave it there and cover with mulch (like Back to Eden) or just resign myself to pulling grass all season? Right now in Michigan, there is no snow so I could get into the garden. I do have garlic and shallots planted, nothing else. Thanks for any and all advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You did not use straw. Straw is what is left over after you've harvested a grain like wheat. The grain is cut off by a machine, leaving the stalks in the field. The stalks are them harvested and baled. Straw should have little or no seed in it be definition. Hay is cut grass that's used for animal food. Han is the whole above-ground plant, seeds and all. When the soil is workable, I would just get a rototiller and till in the weeds. If and when weeds come up, pull them by hand. Sometimes I think the Internet and access to all these different gardening methods is making things more difficult for a lot of people. You can have a great garden without using the fancy-schmancy method you saw on Youtube. |
- Posted by farmerdill (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 11:40
Lots of time, straw is full of seeds. Most likely wheat straw and you have wheat seedings. Wheat is annual grass, so tilling it in for green manure is an excellent option. Another option is to kill it with a herbicide and plant in the sod. Popular method with farmers. Same procedures will work even if you have rye or barley straw. Hay is a different matter as it may have broadleaf plants as well as grasses. |
Just run it over with a roto-tiller to mulch it into the ground and throw a sheet of weed cloth over it. |
Are you all listening? The OP says there is garlic in there, so no tilling. and no herbicide either. Your only way out is wood chips, 2-3 inches. They are heavy enough to suppress just-started grass blades, but garlic and shallots will push through. I have always used chips with garlic, with excellent results. Next time, if you have OM and it looks seedy, dig a trench and bury it. |
I used un-threshed Barley bales, and all you have to do, really, is wait till it is tall and strong enough to simply grab a handful, pull it out and use it as a mulch. I had the same result one year with poorly threshed wheat bales. |
Thanks all for the help! This is definitely straw and not the hay I feed to the goats. It must have been a really weedy batch and I won't get that again from the same person! Glib, would you say to put in the wood chips now or closer to spring? (I wonder if I can get that here this time of year.) I am amazed garlic will come up through the chips. Should the shallots be okay as well? I would love to try the Back to Eden method anyhow. Glad to hear all is totally not lost! Thanks! |
And by the way, I know to put the wood chips over the soil and not "in" like I mistakenly wrote. I'm full of typos today. |
yep straw often has seed in it, but it is from the left over rain on the straw so won't be grass, more likely wheat? all you need do is pull it and tuck it under for extra nutrient, the straw is a brown. we sue spoilt hay mulches grass hay or lucerne hey, never had seeds germinate from that, have used straw but too expensive here any growths we get like i said pull and tuck under, i let some grow one time they died off and they don't perpetuate. also lay mulch at least 6"s thick, so go to cover the whole garden. our latest gardens are covered with slashed grass, not much of an issue with what pops up we simply pull it as above. treat everything as an advantage. len |
I think it can be done anytime before the garlic and shallots push out (so now is best). I have noticed that if the grass blades are long enough they bend under the weight and die there. Call a tree company, and tell them you want a dump, you will pay gas. |
"Treat everything as an advantage." LOVE it. It sure looks like wheat now that I google it. Maybe I'll juice it! Ha! Gib, I'll see what I can find tomorrow regarding chips. Thanks! |
You may not want to give up on Ruth Stout. She always used hay, not straw, and she said "Lucerne Hay" which I think may mean second cut hay (which has fewer weed seeds). I've been using her method for about 6 years, sometimes first cut and sometimes second cut hay, and it works great. Yes, I get weeds from the first cut hay, but a lot of them are flowers and I let them grow. If a bed gets away from me (too many weeds) I just till it one year and start over. Yes! Juice it! That stuff is expensive, and you've got it growing all over your yard :) |
Lucerne = alfalfa |
If you have areas of the garden that don't have garlic or shallots, you might try the lasagna method. Cover with a layer of wet newspapers, top with alternating layers of green and brown. I top with composted horse manure. It all composts eventually. There are different versions of the 'no till' method. This works great for me since we don't have a tiller and the existing sod is very thick (old farmland). |
Re hay: I've been mulching with hay for over 40 years. Hay is cut properly before it seeds out. By the time grasses have seeded, they make lousy hay for animals. You want old hay, spoiled hay or hay that has been rained on. But you don't want hay cut too late in the field. Only twice have I gotten bad hay, and it was obvious as I began to spread it, so I piled it up and let it rot. Got very hot and made good compost. |
Thanks Rpr -- now I finally know what Lucerne hay is. laceyvail -- wish my neighbors knew about the not letting it seed out! But I'm just happy to have consistant sources of hay, and I enjoy the flowers. |
I was going to say exactly what laceyvail said (minus a few years, though my parents always used hay too, so maybe I could claim 40 years?). |
Now it snowed heavily so I may have to wait. The lasagna technique might work on the area without the garlic and shallots. This is indeed all good information and I do not feel like screaming anymore. (Except to say: "Enough snow already! I want spring! I want to garden!") |

"The Palestinian Authority has been undermined; it has [become] a nuisance… The only just solution that some Palestinian activists have started discussing is a secular, democratic state on the historic lands of the state of Palestine, which means the end of the Palestinian Authority and the end of the façade of the peace process doctrine."
Most Palestinians saw Hamas' steadfastness and ability to hit back during Israel's November attack as a victory. But will they put it to good use, asks Al-Shabaka Policy Advisor Haidar Eid, by ending Palestinian security cooperation with Israel – an opportunity missed after Israel's 2008-09 operation? He argues that no real reconciliation amongst Palestinian factions is possible in the shadow of such collaboration.
A day after the UN voted to admit "Palestine" as a non-member state, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly praised the Palestinian Authority (PA) led by Mahmoud Abbas for its collaboration with the Israeli occupation army.
