Most people agree that elected officials generally should make decisions openly and transparently. Government of, by and for the people, you know.
But the line between what must be done publicly and what can be done behind closed doors can get fuzzy fast. Charlottes City Council might have crossed that line in its secret talks about helping the NFLs Carolina Panthers, and the question now might go before a judge and conceivably on to the state Supreme Court.
Council members privately voted in February to give the Panthers $144 million for stadium renovations and other needs, pending legislative approval. The plan would have raised taxes by nearly a billion dollars over 30 years, and paid for a slew of projects beyond helping the Panthers. The vote culminated five months of confidential negotiations and no public input.
The decision divided the community. The question now, though, is not whether the city made a good deal. It is whether it violated the Open Meetings Law.
The pertinent law says elected officials can go into closed session to discuss matters relating to the location or expansion of industries or other businesses in the area served by the public body, including agreement on a tentative list of economic development incentives that may be offered by the public body in negotiations.
A group of former and current broadcasters, led by Mike Cozza and Wayne Powers, plans to file a lawsuit in Mecklenburg Superior Court on Thursday morning, alleging the council violated that law in four ways. City Attorney Bob Hagemann says the city abided by the law.
I dont know or care about whether the plaintiffs have any motives beyond good government. I wanted to delve deeper into the substance of their allegations. To my eye, they and the city each have strong arguments and weaker ones.
• The first question is whether the Panthers were a flight risk. If not, their location is not in question and the law does not apply. The plaintiffs point out that Richardson repeatedly said he had no intention of moving the team. Hagemann points out that Richardson never said he wouldnt sell the team, and the new owners could move it. Hagemann adds that Richardsons lawyer indicated that was an immediate possibility if the city didnt act. Advantage: City.
• The plaintiffs argue that the law allows secret negotiations only about paying incentives, not raising taxes. Hagemann says there is no established case law addressing this question. He points to the statutes wording matters relating to Raising taxes to fund the Panthers incentives is a matter relating to the incentives, he argues. Close call, but I doubt the statute was written with the intention of allowing governments to craft plans to raise taxes or create new ones in closed session. Advantage: Plaintiffs.
• The City Council voted to support a 1 percent hike in the prepared food and beverage tax for 30 years. That would have raised hundreds of millions more than needed to fund the Panthers incentives. The rest could be used to build a large array of publicly owned amateur sports facilities, city officials said at the time, and perhaps renovate the Panthers stadium again down the road. Hagemann defends this, saying the city needed the hospitality industrys support to get the new tax through the legislature. Again, Hagemann argues, its a matter related to the incentives. I follow the logic but its an interpretation that renders the laws restrictions meaningless. Advantage: Plaintiffs.
• Finally, council members extensively debated in closed session whether they should be doing this in closed session. The law says such debates should be held publicly. Hagemann dismisses the charge. I just view that as political hand-wringing and debate. It was caught up in debate over whether we should help the Panthers at all. Advantage: Plaintiffs.
I think of Hagemanns as the If you give a mouse a cookie defense. In Laura Numeroffs childrens book, if you give a mouse a cookie, hes going to ask for a glass of milk; if you give him a glass of milk, hes going to want a straw and on and on. If you give the Panthers incentives, youre going to need a tax to pay for it. If you need a tax to pay for it, youre going to need to give a bunch to the hospitality industry to win political support. And so on.
Both Hagemann and the plaintiffs raise important questions. However the lawsuit turns out, it will be valuable to have a court interpret just what the law allows when discussing tax dollars for private business.

Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Obviously the big draw with this product is the mSATA interface. There are a growing number of mSATA SSDs on the market, but very few are capable of SATA III speeds. As we mentioned before, RunCore currently makes two mSATA products, one with a SandForce SF-1200 SATA II controller and the one we are looking at today that runs at SATA III speeds and uses a SandForce SF-2281 controller.
The SF-2281 was the top controller of 2011 and it looks to be the early must have controller for 2012 also. The RunCore mSATA T50 model uses that controller to achieve 540MB/s read speed and up to around 500MB/s write speed.
We ran into some issues with this drive early on, as did many others as observed in reports online from consumers that turned early adapters. These issues were taken care of with the latest firmware release put out by SandForce and RunCore. Since the update all of our problems have been elevated and our 120GB sample now runs problem free without the BSOD errors we ran into early on.
On the RunCore website we found that RunCore released three capacity sizes for the T50; 30GB, 60GB and the largest 120GB model we are looking at today. Online we managed to find the 30GB for 99 Dollars, the 60GB model for 179 Dollars and the 120GB model that we are reviewing today for 319 Dollars, all at MyDigitalDiscount.com. These prices seem a bit out of place when measured against similar equipped 2.5" SSDs, but the mSATA interface is new so it doesn't get the same breaks as the mass produced products on the market. We suspect that prices will start to drop as the interface picks up steam and demand picks up. Storage companies can't help but over supply the market these days.

Here's a story I filed Thursday:
An Oregon women's basketball team that enters 2010-11 with just one underclassman in the backcourt has secured its future after a big recruiting weekend.
The Ducks have secured three verbal commitments from guards in the current recruiting class, including two who visited Eugene this past weekend. Lexi Petersen of Seattle and Jordan Loera of Moses Lake, Wash., each committed this week, joining Amanda Delgado of Henderson, Nev., in the class expected to sign with UO coach Paul Westhead's program this winter.
Petersen and Loera knew of each other from playing club basketball in Washington, and visited Oregon on the same weekend.
"I think we both knew then that we were going to end up together," Petersen said.
Petersen projects as a small forward with the Ducks. Loera, one of the top recruits in the Northwest this year, can play all three perimeter spots, and Delgado got the Ducks' attention with her jump shooting at the End of the Trail club tournament in July. Click here for the complete story.

Unmaking Motorola's Q
CowboyNeal posted more than 8 years ago | from the under-the-hood dept.
144conq writes "BusinessWeek has a breakdown of Motorola's Q Phone, looking at the cost of each of its components. From the article: 'It costs Motorola about $158 to build the phone. That includes components and assembly but excludes other expenses such as marketing, distribution, and licensing fees to Microsoft, which makes the phone's Windows Mobile operating system.' By comparaison, the BlackBerry 8700, only costs $123 according to the article. The difference between the two, the BlackBerry 'doesn't play video or music, and unlike the Q, it doesn't have a camera.'"

Two weeks have passed since Daniel Tosh joked that it would be funny if five guys raped a woman in his audience and the shit hit the fan. But did no one learn anything about how to handle a heckler?
Seemingly not. Comic Eddie Griffin is going to may be sued — and he took a thrown drink to the face! — for taunting a female audience member about being a lesbian.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Fiona Walsh, 39, of San Jose, went with her partner Leslie Champlin to go see Griffin perform at Tommy T's Comedy Club. During the show, they sat in front of the stage. As the set wore on, Walsh thought the comedian was drunk and not very funny. Onstage, Griffin noticed Walsh wasn't laughing and (drunkenly perhaps) told her she looked "rigid" and like a "librarian." At some point during all this, he noticed Champlin's hand on Walsh's shoulder and started yelling at the couple about their sexuality; he offered to have sex with them, saying he would "show them a good time," and pumped his hips in Walsh's face from the stage. She then threw a drink at him and he threw water bottles right back. The couple was "escorted out" of the club while other audience members hollered.
Again we have a case of a comedian 1) acting like a major dick to his audience and 2) not being funny while doing so. But this situation is different than the recent one with Daniel Tosh. Keep reading »

GoHorseShow is sad to hear of the unexpected passing of the top show mare, Show Diva. Our thoughts are with the Moran family and everyone at Highpoint Performance Horses. The 2001 sorrel mare by Good Version and out of World Champion pleasure mare, Chocolate Zipper, passed away due to complications associated with colic surgery.
The Morans and Highpoint would like to thank Dr. David McCarroll of Interstate Equine for taking very good care of her.
"She was a very special horse. She was the first horse we bought for the Morans, and she was very special to all of us," Jason Martin told GoHorseShow. "I was Reserve World Champion in Western Pleasure on her and that's not an easy feat. We have a lot of babies out of her so her legacy will live on. She is the dam of, Only In Showbiz, who won the Green Hunter Under Saddle at the Congress last year and the Novice this year with now owner, Kaylee Mellott."
The four-time Congress Champion was bred by Clarice Cooper of Maysville, Georgia and accumulated over 2300 points in her outstanding show career. She is also a two-time Reserve World Champion in the Western Pleasure and Reserve World Champion in the Junior Western Riding. This talented mare also has placed in the Top 10 at the Congress and AQHA World Show numerous years in different events.
We know she will be greatly missed, our condolences go out to everyone who has been involved with this great mare.

I'm very happy to say that I'll be joining the Editorial Board of Jacobin; actually, it seems I already did in December! Since it appeared about a year or so ago, Jacobin has been publishing some of the most interesting stuff on the web. Anytime Peter Frase or Mike Beggs or Seth Ackerman has something posted over there, I drop everything and read it right away. Also, they've got Remeike Forbes, the smartest and coolest designer I've had the pleasure of talking (and listening!) to since I worked with Ginny Blaisdell at HERE. Lastly, they've got Bhaskar Sunkara, the young visionary behind it all, an intellectual and political impresario I insist on describing as the "Philip Rahv of our age." Here's hoping.
5 Responses to "I'm a Jacobin"
We know. ;)
I applaud your excellent taste and discerning eye, but you are way too kind.
This is good. Not only a terrific magazine but a welcome solution to my nomenclature problem. I've become tired of calling myself a Radical Democrat. I did it so as not be confused with a 'Democrat' (as in acolyte of that party). But I dislike limiting Democracy with any adjective (whether 'Liberal" or–as Pinochet liked to call his, 'Protected Democracy'). Now I'm just calling myself a Jacobin. Your blog actually led me to the magazine. I followed the link to Peter Frase's brilliant 'the anti-Star-Trek society' , from there to his blog, from there to the magazine. Three degrees of separation.
The sentiment is most assuredly mutual, Corey. Welcome aboard!
Hmm… Mike Beggs' attack on David Harvey in Jacobin's "Zombie Marx" article was quite shallow. He mischaracterizes Harvey's argument with DeLong in the very same way that DeLong did, and then proclaims, supposedly contra-Harvey that "The limits to stimulus have been political, not financial." But that is exactly what Harvey argued in the first place.
Beggs then argues that neoclassical economics is "a mature, prestigious academic discipline" while Marxism is "academically marginal". Good grief. As the documentary "Inside Job" so effectively dramatized, academic economics is a deeply corrupt and intellectually dishonest exercise. The fact that it covers itself in academic "prestige" just shows how irrelevant and out of touch the academy has become.

Laura Shunk dishes out some tips for the new Cafe critic
In advance of Gretchen Kurtz's debut next week as the new Cafe critic, we asked some of our previous restaurant reviewers to weigh in -- and given their jobs, we do mean weigh in -- with advice for our new newest critic. Kyle Wagner, our reviewer for close to a decade who's now the travel editor at the Denver Post, served up her thoughts first (read them here.)
Laura Shunk, who's now in New York City working with Baltz & Company, a public relations firm that works with restaurants, offered a list of the Denver spots she'll miss most on her way out of town in June. And now she has some advice for her successor:
Greetings, Gretchen! Best advice? Gird your loins...
1. I saw a reader already gave you this advice, but it bears repeating: Don't take the comments personally. You probably did a lot of work on your first review. You likely went three times, dutifully noting a deluge of insightful details, which you carefully crafted into a narrative that you are proud of. That is awesome. Here's the thing: Your review is going to run, and a lot of people aren't going to care about your nuanced observations or awe-inspiring prose. They're going to care that you are apparently the new restaurant reviewer, which means that you are a new target. And like maggots to a dead carcass, the haters will take to the comments section to suck all form of life out of you. You have landed a much-read column that allows anonymous Internet commenters. You are about to learn where your confidence comes from. "You're the most boring person that has ever walked the planet earth," they'll write, under fake names like poopy5 or, better yet, yousuck. "You're a horrible writer, and you're most likely fat and ugly." "We miss your predecessor. Westword sucks for hiring you." If you're extra lucky, they might even start a Yelp or Reddit thread about just how bad you are. And so after your first review runs, when you should be celebrating your accomplishments over a few too many beers, you may, instead, be sitting by your computer with anxiety in your heart wondering, am I boring? Horrible? Fat and ugly? Does Westword suck for hiring me? And why on earth did I do this? Do not fret: Gradually, your fans will come out of the woodwork and bat down your detractors like cats pawing dusty, fluttering moths. And weirdly, some of those dusty, fluttering moths will undergo a metamorphosis to become fan-cats ready to defend you as if you were their own sister.
2. You're going to realize quickly that people have incredibly romantic misconceptions of what it means to be a professional restaurant critic in Denver. In reality, being a food critic isn't that much different from being a professional binge-eater, except for the fact that most real binge-eaters get to blessedly shroud their habits in secrecy. Food critics are frequently forced to order five entrees for two people and endure a waiter's smirk. Or order a giant round of dessert after polishing off enough food to make the people at the next table stare in unashamed, wide-eyed wonderment. I've eaten five hot dogs in two hours for research purposes before. And I can't even count the number of times I've had two lunches and two dinners in one day in the name of the job. A lot of those second dinners took place on the side of the road while I was seatbelted into my car, shoving my face full of take-out entrees after a full meal. Because of efficiency, obviously. Sometime, perhaps while you're mid-bite of a doughnut saddled with a bacon cheeseburger that you're consuming after you've polished off a monstrous meal and milkshake, you're going to look at yourself in the rearview mirror and wonder seriously whether you need an intervention. You don't, but you might want to think about picking up a hiking hobby. And some heartburn medication.
3. As a side note to my last point, "I'm writing about Denver's restaurants" is an unbelievably convenient excuse to justify having nine cocktails on a Tuesday. But remember that former Times critic Frank Bruni paid the price for that surely universal mentality with a diagnosis of gout, and the only thing worse than trying to write drunk is trying to write hungover.
4. It's okay that you don't know everything there is to know about food, and it's definitely okay to ask experts for education. Before I had any inkling that I'd ever hold this job, I imagined food critics as the type of people who worked hard in journalism courses before flitting off to Paris or Italy to get a culinary education while they wore sundresses and meandered through farmers' markets sniffing fruit in the sunshine. They were the children who said their favorite food was foie gras, who knew that Chardonnay pairs well with lobster by the time they were eight, who've known which piece of silverware to use since they popped out of the womb and pulled themselves up to the white linen-ed table, unable to gum so much as a Cheerio, but, by god, instilled with the knowledge of just the moment to pick up the salad fork. In my imagination, they'd had mothers in the kitchen stirring big bubbling pots and engraining the secrets of cooking deep inside of their souls. They'd later use those tips and tricks against a chef who let the butter brown too long or -- gasp -- couldn't make a proper hollandaise. Food critic-ing, I thought, was a fancy profession for fancy people, the type of people who could name oyster varieties or rattle off every spice in a traditional Ethiopian wot with a comfort level most of us don't even have when we're reciting our own addresses. That was not me. I'll spare you the details, but the greatest culinary wisdom imparted from my childhood surrounded the incredible creativity my mother and grandmother employed in using the microwave and the crockpot in order to avoid ever turning on the stove. Sure, I had received a decent culinary education before I started writing. But being voraciously obsessed with food and acquiring food knowledge, I learned quickly that half the fun of writing about food is doing the research on food -- and then bringing others into what you've learned.

It's nice to see people that live and work in close towns like St. Michel, Princeton, and Maple Grove. How about this weather we've been having over the last culpa of weeks. Can't complain compared to what it should be like. |
I don't think you would call it the frozen north today. I live in Duluth and it's raining today. Big snowmobile race this weekend and there's no snow. Makes winter feel a little shorter with the nice weather. |

Monday Morning Chat: Five minutes with Karrie Booth, owner/manager of Hollistic Health & Fitness
Sunday, November 18, 2012
"I don't really have one. I kind of grew up all over the place. I lived on the east coast until I was 12. I lived down south until I was 18. Then I've been in Colorado since I graduated from high school. College brought me out to Colorado. I went to CSU."
What brought you to Craig:
"I wanted to be in Steamboat, couldn't afford it. Ended up in Hayden. When I got divorced, I ended up in Craig. Long story short.'
How long have you lived in Craig:
"10 years"
Job title:
"I don't know how to answer that, I do everything here. The chicken with her head cut off. (laughs) Well I'm majority owner, manager, I'm also a personal trainer, I do exercise classes, and a massage therapist, wellness coach. I guess owner/manager would be it."
How did you get started in your job:
"This was my brainchild. I've always been in to fitness and nutrition and all that stuff. When I became a massage therapist my clients would ask me, 'How can I feel better?' And to me exercise is a huge component of a healthy lifestyle. But when I have clients that hurt all the time and they don't work out. So it was kind of a concept of a place where you could get body work therapy type stuff. The concept that this originated from was much bigger than what we ended up with. Because we're in Craig we didn't have the resources to put in the physical therapy aspect and the chiropractic aspect. It kind of evolved. I still would like to have that bigger picture. It is what it is."
Motto or outlook on life:
"I have a lot of them. If I could boil it down to one word it would be believe because whether it be something that you can do personally, losing weight or whatever, but on a bigger scale this place I believed it could happen and it did. So in anything you do believe."
Favorite thing about live in Northwest Colorado:
"You know I'd say the only thing that keeps me here other than my family and my situation would be the people. You know the weather is great except for when it's wintertime."
Least favorite:
"Winter. I love winter. I don't mind short winters, but the really cold, frigid cold winter. I want to be on the beach. My ideal vision is doing massage on the beach."
Favorite restaurant:
"I'll tell you, recently the butterscotch cake at the Double Barrel Steakhouse. This is coming from a fitness and health person that doesn't normally eat those and I did. I had like a cheat meal. Everybody go out and eat it because it keeps me in business (laughs). But it was incredible."
Favorite movie you've seen recently:
"Magic Mike"
Pet peeve:
"The word 'I can't'"
Words advice to someone trying to get started with fitness or weight loss:
"Ask for help but don't believe everything you are told. There's a lot of misinformation out there. Just again it goes back to my word believe and don't say I can't. Believe it can happen. You can make anything happen, any transformation can happen if you have a goal. Set a goal and believe it cane happen."

Once heard, the hauntingly beautiful cello melody in Schubert's Unfinished Symphony is never forgotten. Yet the work's ultimate power lies in its gaze into darkest despair culminating in the serenely beautiful second movement. In his Cello Concerto, played here by CSO Principal John Sharp, Edward Elgar gave sincere and heartfelt voice to his grief, defiance and wistful nostalgia in the face of World War I.

Oakley Fit Pant - Women's
Parachute Pants
These pants are enormous! Unless Oakley is in the business of making ladies feel better about themselves, they really dropped the ball here. I'm 5'3", 120 pounds, athletic build. I'm a small or medium in most things, opted for the smalls in the Oakley Fits. I was looking for a light-weight, vented, NON-INSULATED spring pant for lap days and Sierra sun. While the tactical elements of this pant (crotch zips, gaiter cuffs) are prime, the pant is just not what anyone is going to be looking for. First off, they're huge. The smalls are at least twice as large as my size 6 jeans. Even if I sized down though to get the fit right in the waist, I'm afraid they'd simply be too wide. The bell-bottom look is extreme. Second, they're super heavy for a non-insulated pant. They're multi-layered, and while there's no fill in them, I'm sure they'd do fine in sub-temps. There's just no way this pant is good for lap days, as advertised. Extra warm and extra huge. If that's your thing, then these will probably work for you. Construction and seams are good.

By Teri O'Brien -
Thursday is September 11, the two-year anniversary of the attack on the Benghazi compound, and the 13th anniversary of the murder of nearly 3000 people on American soil by our determined Islamofascist enemy, so it seems like a good time to revisit the effects of Barack Obama's "lead from behind" strategy.
Are you aware that there was another ISIS beheading yesterday? Do you know what's going on in Libya, Obama's template for "how the international community is supposed to work?"
Under Obama's brilliant leadership, we intervened to dispatch wacko dictator Mohamar Gaddafi. How's that working out? Don't worry about the threat of our determined, vicious, murderous enemy. Focus on the "war on women," and racism in local police departments like the one in Ferguson, MO, the current hobby horse of the worst attorney general in America history, Eric Holder.

RDEPEND is linktime ... see my statement above RDEPEND is execution requirements; to use the binary, this is what needs to be in the graph. Clarifying my statement; we don't break our DEPEND down into "this is what is executed in building the package" (toolchain), vs "this is the crap the binaries we build against need avail to be linked against", literally what winds up as -l args. If punting the old lib (as I assumed), means we would potentially be making certain DEPEND atoms unusable if they're required in an execution context (rather then just winding up as a -l arg). So... ignore that bit since you're talking about lingering files. > > > - once all the packages requested have been merged, you start the second > > > phase and calculate everything that needs to be rebuilt. as ABI libs are > > > no longer needed on a system, portage can scrub them out > > > > "as ABI libs are no longer needed on a system", phrasing of that > > implies you're suggesting that portage should leave the older package > > in place till it's updated all revdeps, then wipe it. > > no i am not; read my previous e-mails where i said it would leave behind the 1 > ABI lib required ... aka whatever is encoded in SONAME Yeah, missed the "presvered" (woot for 5am wakeup). In that case, wouldn't mind a response to the "what about ctrl+c during the run?" The potential for orphaning there sucks; recording the old library in the new version sucks also since it complicates the merge process, that lib *must* be removed else it's a potential collision-protect minefield. Finally, even if the lib is temporarily left behind, this solution doesn't gurantee the library actually would *work* still- it only can work if the lib is standalone from the rest of the pkg and doesn't rely on any external data from the pkg. Example would be pkg foobar that internally has libconvience, used by it's libs but not externally linked, contains (oddly enough) convience bits shared across foobars libraries. libconvience is *not* to be externally linked against, consumers must access the other libs (say libfoo); any soname bumps to libfoo, the old version gets broke in the process despite due to it linking internally against an unversioned so. Granted, semi retarded, but gnomes libegg comes to mind as a potential case of this. Basically trying to point out that what you're proposing only works in a subset of the cases revdep must deal with, and that revdep itself doesn't deal with *all* situations as is; hence BINCOMPAT as a way to try and shift it under maintainers control. Maintainence of it *should* be pretty simple also; for sane upstream soname handling, you just bump it with the majors; for the rest, its a knob that can be fiddled to at least give up front warning of the issue. ~harring

U.S. Department of Energy employees at Oak Ridge donated 11,437 pounds of food last week to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee.
The donation was part of the national Feds Feed Families campaign.
This is the third year DOE's Oak Ridge site has participated in the annual summer campaign, which helps replenish food banks and raises awareness about the prevalence of hunger nationally.
Coalition of Oak Ridge Retirees will have its annual meeting at 2 p.m. Oct. 8 in Heritage Fellowship Church at 121 N. Illinois Ave., Oak Ridge. Parking is available at the church.
All Oak Ridge retirees, their spouses and surviving spouses are urged to attend and are encouraged to bring other retirees and guests.
When readers or friends recommend a place for an "Out to Lunch" visit, I immediately add it to my prospect list.
Several folks mentioned Captain Ernie's Seafood on Campbell Station Road in Knoxville.
I noticed last week that the building they occupied was empty. I did a search to see if they had relocated, because I was planning to eat there soon.
Not only did I discover they had moved to Lenoir City but found numerous online positive comments about the food at the new Captain Ernie's Seafood Bar and Caribbean Grill.
After increases in the first two months of summer, Roane County's unemployment rate dropped in August to 7.8 percent.
That's 0.5 percent lower than the July rate of 8.3 percent, according to statistics released late last week from the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The state's figures indicate the county's rate for July was 8.3 percent, an increase of 0.1 over June's 8.2 percent.
The number was higher last August, when the state recorded Roane County's jobless rate at 8.2 percent.
Bob Alford never envisioned himself in the restaurant business, let alone the owner of a burger joint serving Roane Countians for a quarter of a century.
Bob's Burgers, which he and his wife Debbie operate in Midtown, celebrated its historic 25-year anniversary earlier this year.
Joseph Eskridge of Harriman is the first of six Roane County residents to receive an entrepreneurial grant to start a new business.
Eskridge's $1,000 grant will enable him to work toward opening a recording studio and eventually a radio station.
The grant was presented by Mel Clemmons during a Roane County entrepreneur workshop and motivational seminar at the Princess Theatre in Harriman.
Clemmons led the free workshop and launched his Superheroes Foundation, which is giving out the six business grants.
Individuals who use a domestic kitchen to prepare, manufacture and sell food to the public can ensure their facilities meet Tennessee Department of Agriculture regulations through one of two upcoming courses presented by the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture's Department of Food Science and Technology and UT Extension.
UT will present Domestic Kitchen: Tennessee Food Safety Certification in Knoxville this fall.
Tennessee employers will pay unemployment insurance premiums at a lower rate for the first time in more than three years.
Unemployment insurance premium rates for state employers decreased because the balance of Tennessee's Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund on June 30 was more than $568 million, triggering new premium rates.
This "Out to Lunch" adventure is filled with scenic countryside travel, a museum visit, educational films, shopping at an "old time" general store and, of course, outstanding food.
You might even enjoy getting to know more about TV personality Duke the dog, famous for being denied his attempts to sell the secret family recipe for Bush's Baked Beans.
The latest store to open under the cheerful red awning on Rockwood's South Front Avenue carries an array of products for health and well being.
Ross and Linda Cole, of Cole's Health Essentials at 119 S. Front Ave., have a variety of health foods and other products. They range from gluten-free foods, protein and energy bars, vitamins and minerals to soy candles.
The focus is particularly on alternative medicine.

Technology has made March Madness madder than ever, giving the term a whole new meaning around the office. Especially with games tipping off between the hours of 9 and 5. According to a recent survey of 500 IT professionals (conducted by Braun Research), the NCAA college basketball tournament has been identified by 42% as a corporate network inhibitor. 37% reported slower speeds and 34% say the hoops tourny shut down their network for an extended period of time. It's easy to imagine how this is happening with employees streaming games from their work computers. The chances of your employees engaging in the same type of activity is relatively high. Bracketology, after all, can leave pride, money, and other unspeakables on the table.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) eliminates the need to install applications on the customer hardware. SaaS applications are typically accessed from a web browser and a single instance of the application often serves all the customers. Since the same application instance needs to fulfill different needs for different customers and there may be no option of creating a custom build for each customer, customizability of SaaS applications becomes an important aspect for delivering personalized software to the users. Customizability enables easy integration of the SaaS application with the customers existing systems and also empowers partners and resellers to easily configure the solution according to their and their customer's requirements.
Did you know that around 45% of the mobile workforce has a job that is compatible with a certain amount of mobile commuting? Wow!

Now that we're a FISMA-certified company, we've become the preferred solution for many Federal agencies.
Last Thursday hundreds of people gathered around the ring to witness Apple's widely hailed iPad 2 take on the kindle fire, a contender on the rise in the tablet world (released on November 15th). It was a great day in tablet history and a dramatic fight until the very end. The fighters kept the crowd in it for the whole match and two lucky folks walked away with a free tablet of their own! Thanks to all who followed this event on Twitter (hashtag #maas360webinar). If you haven't had a chance, please share your thoughts about the webinar! For those who weren't in attendance I'll do my best to give a blow-by-blow account of each round, though I highly recommend you watch the official recording here.
Do your employees use smartphones at work? Do your employees access business resources from their devices with or without permission? Does your staff use social media services like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to do business or for recruiting talent? If the answer to any of the above questions is Yes, your organization is hit by the "Consumerization of IT" trend.
Just five years ago, probably even two, it was more than likely that the mobile phone you had for work was a BlackBerry smartphone from Research In Motion.

I wasn't literally naked, of course. It's February, and this is a crowded, popular public diner, so, you know, being actually naked would be both freezing cold and inappropriate.
The amazing actors & director |
However, and I don't mean to get too titillating here*, that naked sense of anticipation and exposure is also undeniably exciting.
When the play reading begins, the experience slowly unfolds as something akin to a first date.** In fact, it is very much like being on a first date. Only instead of fumbling through an unscripted exchange, you've already scripted out the entire conversation, and if it doesn't go over well in the first few moments - you're screwed, because unlike in a real conversation, you can't shift gears. The words are set. Autopilot is a go. Someone(s) else is speaking your pre-determined words. You have to hope you got it right, and that the audience will therefore get you.
And oh God, here it comes, the first joke, oh hell damn monkey monkey monkey, what if they don't laugh?
And then they laugh.
And then the actors ease into the parts even more. They are breathing life into the characters. They're doing great.
In other words, the conversation is going well. And you realize, like, whoa. You might get a second date. You might get a metaphorical phone number. They get it. We're connecting.
And all that connecting between you and the audience is made all the more magical by the fact that many of them don't even know that you're there, sitting in the back, feeling a little less naked but still plenty nervous - a writer-creator watching her creation brought to life by other people.
That's what last night's play reading was like for me. I tried to avoid too much conversation during intermission, wanting to wait until the whole story was shared (ugh, intermission! again with the hell damn monkey monkey monkey!). I still felt too vulnerable. The story wasn't finished. Don't get me started on having to deal with an audience halfway through one of my shows - or on having to do a greeting reception-line at the end of a show I've performed in - those are posts for another day.
When the second act concluded, I went up to sit with the actors and participate in the talkback. The conversation following the reading was terrific. Thought provoking. A real exchange of ideas, reactions, questions, suggestions, insights, affirmations.
The conversation clothed me. I no longer felt naked and vulnerable - rather, I felt part of a larger artistic whole, warmly wrapped in that exhilarating feeling of sharing a story.
Those are the good nights, folks. May all of us writer-types be granted the inspiration and fortitude to keep writing, be blessed with actors and directors and audiences like these, always nurture this love of story - and not be afraid of sitting there, naked, while someone else speaks, reads, or shares our words.
*Who am I kidding? As soon as you USE the word "titillating," you ARE titillating. It's magic that way.
** Yet another situation where being naked in a public diner would be really awkward.

By the eighth day of this year's Sundance Film Festival, director Andrew Fleming's comedy Hamlet 2 remained the biggest acquisition, selling to Focus Features for $10 million. The comedy revolves around a high-school drama teacher (Steve Coogan) who stages a sequel to Shakespeare's play in order to save his department from budget cuts.
On the afternoon before the film's premiere, EW.com chatted with Coogan and his fellow cast members David Arquette and Elisabeth Shue at EW's photo studio. (Sadly, Hamlet 2 costar Catherine Keener did not make the trip to Sundance this year.)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Are you excited for tonight's premiere?
DAVID ARQUETTE: I haven't seen it yet, so I'm nervous. It seems like people have been enjoying it, though.
And you play...?
ARQUETTE: I play Gary. I'm the guy who lives at [Steve Coogan and Catherine Keener's] house. They only let me live there because I have a car. They don't have a car. I drive them everywhere. I think I'm supposed to be a trainer in it. I'm very fitness-oriented, but I don't have any actual clients. I have a small part. I only have about 10 lines in it. And I think one of my scenes got cut, too. I was sad. I play a dumb guy in it. Which I tend to do well.
Well, you're playing against type.
ARQUETTE: I hope so. [Laughs] Or maybe I'm just dumb.
[Arquette gets called to get his picture taken. Elisabeth Shue steps up.]
Hello. Are you enjoying Sundance?
ELISABETH SHUE: It's really fun to be back. The most moving time I've had at Sundance was two years ago because Davis [Guggenheim, Shue's husband] premiered An Inconvenient Truth [which he directed] here. That will go down as the most meaningful trip to Sundance. I remember the first screening of An Inconvenient Truth, they gave it a standing ovation. I was crying so much. It still makes me cry thinking of it.
It'll be hard to measure up to that ever again.
SHUE: I know, it'll never measure up to that, but it doesn't have to. I love this movie, actually. It's really funny. Unique and different. And I just think Steve is a brilliant comedian. I want to do another comedy and with him. [She points to Coogan, who's been sitting nearby, ostensibly minding his own business.] I want him to write me a movie where we can be lovers. [Laughs]
[To Coogan] Would you like to join our conversation?
SHUE: Don't you think he's hot?
He's not bad.
STEVE COOGAN: I'm not too pale for a Brit.
SHUE: With his new haircut! He's got really funny hair in the movie.
COOGAN: It's kind of '80s: long, wavy. I had this long, fair hair. It was dyed and bleached and straightened. And then it got so brittle I just had to get rid of it all.

While attending a Bluestar demo yesterday with the regional rep (reps Lynx too), I had the opportunity to cook on one. The ProSear was awesome. I like the wood and charcoal boxes that come with the grill. The rotiss looked heavy duty with three speed options. Brass burner with lifetime warranty.
They are closing out the current model and had stock of the 30" freestanding (my builder says he can make it look built in) for $2600 vs original pricing of $5000. Great price! If u have Lynx, what are pros/cons? What other brands did you consider before purchasing. Thanks in advance for your feedback. |

I have one, perhaps an older model. If I were to do it again (and paying full price), I'd probably go for the Fire Magic. FM has a better system for using charcoal for smoking and for using wood chips. It also has the 'fire tubes' for lighting the burners if the ignition system goes out. There are others out there that have this but the Lynx does not. Also, I notice that it takes a bit longer to warm the unit up. I contribute this to the fact that there is a lot more steel (mass) in the Lynx than in a cheap $200 grill. It does mean that it will use more gas than a cheap grill. But in the same situation with the same reduction in price, I bought the Lynx. You can get one that is just the power head. I'm not sure if you can simply remove the base, I never looked. If so you would still need to put 'something' around it to make it a built-in unit. It is not designed to be built-in with anything combustible around it. |

M--I'm not looking for a bbq. Should I be? Lol. Although I was looking at bbq grill vent hoods! |
At full price I would get the Firemagic too. Lynx at almost half off is tempting. But you are not really using the cart? You want to build it in? Here is the Firemagic built-in for $3365.15 with free shipping. |

@Bee - sadly we have to leave our grill when we sell so have to purchase another one. @Deeageaux - I can get the 36" built in Lynx for $3500 (with rotis and as a closeout item - new). For the Firemagic, I could get the 32" built in but would need to add another $500 for the rotis or $3900). A 36" Firemagic with rotiss ranges from $4700-5800. Are they that much better than the Lynx? Thanks again! |
Below in link you will see a burner comparison. You can also see different stats if you click manufacture comparisons. Lynx temperature range 250-1350 degrees. The more important number here is 200 degrees if you do not have a dedicated smoker and plan to "BBQ" not just grill here. Cast brass burners will not "burn through" but warp compromising performance but not invoking warranty claim. Cast SS like on the Firemagic will not burn through or warp. Ultimately, you can only decide if you need the extra space of 36" grill or not and if you are willing to pay the premium from a very good grill to the best. That marginal cost to get the very best always seems to be quite dear. |

Not sure if you got a FM or not yet. I have access to them now @ wholesale. |
When you are talking that much for a Grill then whats an extra $400 over the life of the grill? I would opt for the FM because of the ability to go down to "smoking temp" and the slightly better quality. deegeaux makes all good points. Myself unfortunately $4000 for a grill isn't going to happen unless I win the lottery. I just smoke/roasted a fresh ham in it a few days ago and came out fantastic, smoke/roasted it at 325 degrees for 4.5 hours on Hickory and Cherry wood mix. |
that ham looks good! I bit the bullet on a E790. Its a completely ridiculous amount of money (the cart versions do jack up the price), its also pretty lame you have to spend another $300 or so on a roto kit after the fact. So I have high expectations. They infrared burners looks like run of the mill 1st gen. infrared. i hope I burn my eye brows off and it outlasts me (not including the electrical). It wont be here for about 2 weeks. |

I think the only way those brass burners are going to warp is if I hit them with a sledge hammer. They're really thick and heavy. One thing that bothers me about the Lynx is that even though there are 3 burners there are only two cooking grates. I wish there were 3. Eventhough the Lynx has a glowplug lighting system I which it had the 'fire tubes' (how one lights the burners when the power is out) that other units have. The rotisserie is great. Heavy duty motor. Room for a turkey or small pig. I wish it had a slide-out tray for the fuel tank (propane). |

Nunyabiz1 -A real Komodo Kamado ranges from $3-4K. Or at least it does based on this link......what brand do you have for $500? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Komodo Kamado
Ceramic Kamado-style cookers are very cool but a ton of cash. If you're looking to smoke I would highly recommened the Weber Smoker (they make both an 18" and 22" diameter). For around $300 you could be smoking a lot of meat (I get 8 racks of ribs on mine--with a rib rack). |
MichelleDT unfortunately those particular Kamado's (komodo) are garbage. The guy making those is a scam artist and I wouldn't buy one for $100. The one I have is the "Vision Grill" which is sold by Costco for $540, complete with cart, side boards and very nice cover. On mine the first time I used it the firebox developed a crack which is not all that unusual for these types of grills, however I emailed the company, got a response from the CEO in 5 minutes and without any questions sent me a new firebox that very day that I received 6 days later free of charge. For the price I do not think there is a better BBQ/Grill/Smoker available anywhere. This is ours on our deck smoking away, have cooked on it 5 times so far and everything has come out perfect especially the Prime Rib. this is the inside firebox. Comes with very nice heavy duty thick stainless racks, it is 19" across. and a nice heavy well made cover. |
Another thing BTW about these Kamado type cookers is that you can adjust the temp just as good as you can with a gas grill. I start mine with a weed torch, you can not use starter fluid because it will soak into the ceramic and ruin it. All you have to do is make sure you don't let it get WAY hotter than what you need before adjusting the vents. When I did a Boston Butt I started it, got to 225 degrees in 2 minutes, closed the vents to just a crack it went up to 250-260 for about 15 minutes then down to 225 and stayed there for 11 hours without ever having to touch it again. I also had over 1/2 the charcoal left over after smoking for 11 hours. Weed Torch lights charcoal better than anything, ready to go in just a couple minutes and no lighter fluid taste ever. the stone at the bottom left is the Lava Stone heat diffuser so the heat is indirect for smoking or roasting, is also used for making wood fired pizza |
Nunyabiz1 Thank you for your informative posts complete with photos-an interesting option for outdoor cooking-Food for thought? |
Welcome, I think it is good to weigh all options, especially ones you haven't thought of or maybe looked over. I originally was looking for an infrared gas grill myself when I started looking several months ago. So I came to a Kamado as my choice because it basically does everything and does it very well plus most have a lifetime guarantee. I have even seen a couple ways you can rather easily add a Rotisserie to any Kamado. |

I like this stuff very much. Yeah, it's thin, but I just roll on one swipe and smack my lips to spread it around. It has SPF 15, vitamin C, and beta hydroxy acid to fight scaly dry lips. I like the citrusy scent, too. The label says it has natural flavors but I don't taste anything.
I really enjoy this product. I have full lips that tend to become very dry, making the lines in them very noticable. As soon as I apply this they plump up, even though it isn't advertised to do so. I've used city lips and tried other lip plumpers to fix the cracks but this is my favorite. My one gripe is that since it is an oil it wears off very quickly but the rollerball application makes it less of a hassle to reapply. However, the downside to this packaging is that dirt sometimes gets trapped on the ball and dumped into the bottle.
The word "treatment" should be stressed with this product. I don't feel it's meant to be used everyday. As one reviewer mentioned, this will make the lips start to feel dry if applied too often. I think this is due to the salicylic acid in the ingredients. It's fine to use in the daytime because it contains sunscreens, but I like to use this 2-3X weekly in the evenings...applied right before I go to bed. Lips are soft and smooth in the morning. The consistency is more of an oil rather than a gloss or balm, so it absorbs into the skin fairly completely after a few minutes - comes in a small tube with a rollerball applicator. This will definitely help with smoothing out the surface of your lips...it's excellent to use in the wintertime/cold months when chapping is prevalent. Smells and tastes as if I just ate an orange - citrus/slightly bitter.
i used this product when it first came out, but unless theyve changed the formula, i wouldnt recommend it. i actually liked the gloss idea, but after using it for just a week, my lips became cracked and dry. i stopped using it for a while and tried it again later, but the same thing happened. might be good as a gloss over another lip balm or something.
I bought this at the health store and I was quite pleased with it. It tastes like orange creamsicles and leaves a nice sheen on the lips. It has vitamin C in it along with other good-for-you ingredients.
My only complaint is that it's a liquid so it's very thin and I have a constant urge to reapply it because it's so thin. However, I fid it to be a delightful lip treatment and I will probably be purchasing it again.
***UPDATE: It's getting a little annoying that this lip treatment is thin. Even when I'm not eating anything it still goes away really quickly so I have to keep re-applying. Sometimes I get fed up and put other lip balms on top of it to moisturize my lips. I'm rethinking whether I'm going to buy this again. It does still smell yummy though.

This lotion is what my idea of heaven might smell like-- very summery and gentle. A guy I dated told me he loved the scent so that's a plus. Unfortunately, I found that it made my skin feel sort of itchy and... I don't know... just weird. I still have another full tub of it so I'll give it another go. I wrote that I would buy this product again, but I'm leaning towards a "maybe".
More reviews by coconutxmakeupxgirl
I love baby lotion, even though its made for babys, it makes your skin so smooth. Its pink (my fave color), and the smell is gentle and comforting. I use it all the time, and not to mention it is around 2 bucks for a nice sized bottle. I love it =0)
Ok, so possible TMI coming up, but I tend to get a really dry backside (especially at the hips where my jeans hit) after the shower. But I don't want a really thick lotion back there (like the Aveeno that I use everywhere else), because what happens if it's hot outside, and then the lotion goes all slimy and then you've got an awkward problem in your pants. Also awkward is itchy completely-non-reachable-in-public-ew skin. So I put this on after the shower, and since it's a light almost watery moisturizer (you can feel it almost "liquify" when you rub your hands together) it sinks in quickly to get rid of the dryness, but it doesn't sit on your skin and get all greasy. Even in the winter, it was just what I needed to get rid of that pesky little problem.
I bought this for my face; my oil-free moisturizer by biore wasn't hydrating my skin enough (I have combo, acne-prone skin, but it's really dry around my chin/mouth area). I love this; it's oil-free (I checked the ingredients at drugstore.com) and it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. My skin feels so soft! I'll admit, it does have that "baby" smell, but it is a baby lotion, so there's not much I can do about that. But for skin this smooth I can ignore the scent. It's a great buy, and i'd do it again. :)
This lotion feels more moisturizing than the other J&J baby lotions. It doesn't smell as good as the rest though. I use this mostly on my heels and elbows, and after shaving my legs. Skin feels supple afterwards. Definitely a staple.
This is a nice summer time lotion since it is too light for me to use in the winter. I have *really* sensitive skin and recently my skin reacted to a Suave body lotion so I was on the hunt for a light lotion that wouldn't bother my skin.
This glides onto my skin without feeling greasy and my skin feels nice and silky afterwards.
This would be a good moisturizer for people who don't have dry skin. I have kinda dry skin and it wasn't quite enough. Pretty good as an all over lotion if you hate greasy lotions.
I like to use baby lotion as a moisturizer for my body (i.e. after I shave my legs) because it's lightweight, mostly water based, and fights diaper rash, or, in adult terms, razor burn. Oh, and it's cheap. Really effective, makes your skin soft all day, and can be purchased scented or unscented. Pretty foolproof buy.

VIDEO: St Georges softball opens season with win Gabrielle Clark recorded 10 strikeouts as St. Georges opened up its season with a 3-2 road victory over Wilmington Charter Friday afternoon. Charter got out to a fast start when Kylie Shivery's double drive in two runs in the bottom of the first. After allowing the early runs, Clark started heating up in in the bottom of the second when she struck out the side. Gabrielle Edwards tied the game at 2 for the Hawks in the 5th with an RBI single which plated Alexis Baughman, who had earlier doubled. The Hawks took the lead an inning later when Sarah Coyne tripled and then scored after a base hit by Emilee Thursby to give St. Georges a 3-2 lead. Charter made one last push in the bottom of the 7th by putting two on with no outs. After a pair of outs, Clark sealed the deal with her 10th "K" of the game to end the game. Clark pitched all seven innings allowing six hits and four walks for St. Georges (1-0). Charter's Erin Anderson went 2-for-3 with a run scored while Kylie Shivery had the 2 RBI's on the double. St. Georges will be at Dickinson on Tuesday, while Charter will take on William Penn next Friday. |

*NOTE We have reached capacity and registration for the conference is closed.
Conference sessions
* Door prizes will be given out at this time.
We spend much of our time talking to ourselves. But just exactly what are we saying and how does what we say make us feel? Negative self talk is so very powerful that it influences our entire lives from cradle to grave, and all our health in between.
Why are we afraid of failing? Those reason may be easy to understand. But why are we afraid of doing well, of succeeding? Why are women more afraid than men? In this workshop, we'll discuss these questions and how we might challenge and embrace our fears. So prepare to enter the danger zone and dare yourself to succeed.
In this presentation, Commissioner Terri White will talk about the prevalence of mental illness and addiction in Oklahoma; the mind/body connection; and the costs to society when these diseases of the brain go untreated. She also will discuss tips on maintaining good mental health, and why she chose to follow her "passion" into the field of behavioral health services.
In this "playshop", participants will learn quick "Stress-bursting" techniques for use in daily life to decrease muscle tension, increase mental acuity, and nurture the participant's spirit. All interventions can be utilized quickly, with minimal expense, in limited physical space.
Healthy boundaries are something many of us didn't learn about at home. Now we can learn how to say "No" to family, friends and even your boss and do it without anxiety. We will discuss how boundaries are not walls and what to expect from those around you. Do you have someone who is a rock around your neck? A fun interactive look at how we deal with personal dynamics.

'Livable Broadway' input sought by GPTC
By Carole Carlson firstname.lastname@example.com/302-0949 March 19, 2014 8:50PM
Angie Williams, of Gary, gets ready to board a Gary Public Transit Corp. shuttle bus Tuesday from a bus shelter in Merrillville. | Carole Carlson~Sun-Times Media
If you go:
What: Public forum on transit needs
When: 2-4 p.m. Friday
Where: Merrillville Town Hall, 7820 Broadway
For information: contact Gary Public Transit Corp., 885-7555

Updated: April 21, 2014 6:10PM
From its inception at the Indiana Toll Road in the shadow of U.S. Steel in Gary, Broadway stretches south about 15 miles.
Along the way, there are vacant storefronts, a university, strip malls, restaurants and banks. Crossing through two cities and one town, Broadway ends at Indiana 231 in Crown Point.
Broadway offers many options, but many depend on public transportation. The Gary Public Transit Corp. bus system is a lifeline connecting people to jobs, shopping and doctor's visits.
Buoyed by a $250,000 planning grant, GPTC is envisioning what a "Livable Broadway" would look like along the busy corridor in Gary, Merrillville and Crown Point. The GPTC is hosting a public forum at 2 p.m. Friday at Merrillville Town Hall, 7820 Broadway, to take input on the vision and fine tune it before hiring a consulting firm.
Serving more transit needs is the focus of the GPTC.
"In some trips we are already carrying more people than we have seats," said David Wright, GPTC marketing director. "If a huge development takes place, that could break the system because we wouldn't have capacity."
The Broadway Express carries about one-third of GPTC's monthly riders or about 25,000 people.
Angela Edwards, of Gary, walks four blocks from her Glen Park residence to catch the bus at 43rd Avenue and Broadway for her laundry service job at Lincolnshire Health Care in Merrillville. She boards the bus at 7:20 a.m. and it arrives at a bus shelter south of U.S. 30 at 7:48 a.m. "I punch in at 8 a.m.," she said.
Wright said after the forum, the GPTC board of directors will hire consultants to determine the needs and type of transit necessary along Broadway and how to pay for it.
"What we're looking for is consensus between community and transit system on what we can do," Wright said.
More transit options appealed to Antonio Martin, of Gary, who catches one bus, then transfers to the Broadway Express for the trip to Merrillville and his job as a prep cook at Applebee's.
Angie Williams, of Gary, took the Broadway Express on Tuesday to a bus stop on Broadway, just north of U.S. 30. From there, she is picked up by a GPTC shuttle bus for a trip to Southlake Mall.
She said the shuttle stop is packed about 9 p.m. each night as people leave their jobs at Merrillville and Hobart businesses and head north back to Gary.
"Other than this, we wouldn't have any transportation to get out there," said Williams, who favors expansion.
"We need this. We want to keep this and, if anything, expand it so we can get better jobs."
Wright said future bus demand depends on employment and population projections. He said the consultants will sit down with planners in the three communities and plot growth patterns.
"There's no expectations of making this something that will be put on the shelf," Wright said. "This will be a road map of how to maintain transit in the future."
