WORK FORCE BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Proposed pension changes rattle the rank and fileBy SCOTT SUTTELL 9:10 am, April 16, 2013
MarketWatch.com reports that a coalition of unions and employers "is proposing changes to the federal law that governs the pension plans of about 10 million people, including reducing benefits paid to retirees" — the first time in four decades that such cuts would be allowed.
If your kid plans to attend Ohio State University, you might want to steer him/her to the College of Engineering.
The gap between the wealthiest Americans and the rest of the nation "doesn't seem to be narrowing in Ohio or elsewhere," according to a Business Courier of Cincinnati story based on the latest PayWatch report from the AFL-CIO.

Governor Hassan asks Fuller Oil to pay more than $20,000 for hotline
The call center handled 3,832 incoming calls and 1,862 different cases involving Fuller Oil Co. customers whose oil tanks were either at or near empty, but couldn't reach the Hudson-based company to order more oil, Plummer said. The call center also made 2,745 follow up calls.
Fuller Oil Co. has blamed its problems on a failed telephone system and the media for inciting panic among its customers.
Attorney Simon C. Leeming, who represents Fuller Oil Co., said he could not comment on the matter Thursday night because he had not received any information. He was not immediately available Friday.
The state Attorney General's Office is reviewing Fuller Oil documents detailing how many gallons of oil the company agreed to provide customers under prepaid heating contracts it entered into during this and next year's heating season, Senior Assistant Attorney General James T. Boffetti said. The state will determine if Fuller Oil got futures contracts with its supplier in which it commits to buy at least 75 percent of the oil it contracted to provide customers.
Boffetti, who heads the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Bureau, said Fuller Oil provided the documents to his office late Wednesday and he is reviewing them. He said he asked for additional information and that Fuller "has been responsive."
Boffetti said the documents will show whether Fuller Oil complied with state law governing prepaid home heating contracts by entering into futures contracts with suppliers. Violations are considered unfair or deceptive business practices.
While Boffetti acknowledged the company had legitimate telephone system problems, he noted that doesn't adequately address what happened.
"They should have quickly come up with an alternative way for customers to reach them," Boffetti said. For instance, Fuller Oil could have bought a number of cell phones to replace the failed telephone system. Instead, the state had to step in and set up the emergency hotline.

Giants, Rockies testing depth early in season
Lefties Bumgarner, Morales square off for middle game of series
DENVER -- The early weeks of the season are testing the depth the Rockies spent the winter building.
Pitcher Jhoulys Chacin is close but has yet to make a start because of a right shoulder strain, and lefty Brett Anderson suffered a broken left index finger in his third start. They're working through their first injury to a key player, having placed outfielder Michael Cuddyer on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a left hamstring strain.
That's not all. Through judicious rest, the Rockies avoided a major issue when shortstop Troy Tulowitzki battled right quadriceps tightness and now are working through Carlos Gonzalez's left knee tendinitis.
The Rockies also have struggled at times with hitting on the road yet have hung around the middle of the pack in the National League West. They hope to gain ground Tuesday night, when they send left-hander Franklin Morales (1-1, 4.82 ERA) to the mound against the Giants and lefty Madison Bumgarner (2-1, 3.48).
An injury to someone like Cuddyer, the defending National League batting champ, could have created big problems for previous Rockies teams. But players such as leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon and third baseman Nolan Arenado, who shifted into Cuddyer's No. 2 spot Monday, plus the added depth in outfielders Corey Dickerson, Drew Stubbs and Brandon Barnes give the Rockies more experience than they've had in recent years.
"It's part of the game, every team's going to deal with injuries," Tulowitzki said. "We have some depth. Hopefully, you're going to see that play out and these guys will step up and do a good job. But it's never easy to lose one of your better players on your team.
"You've got to hold your ground. It gives some young guys a chance to step up. When [Cuddyer] comes back, it's going to be a little shot in the arm. There comes a time you're going to need everybody on your roster, and we're proving that early. If we can play good baseball then get healthy, it helps your team that much more."
The Giants also have been relying on their depth.
San Francisco has been carrying an extra pitcher since last Wednesday, when Jeremy Affeldt returned from the disabled list after recovering from a right knee sprain and outfielder Juan Perez was optioned to Triple-A.
Manager Bruce Bochy was in no hurry to go back to 12 pitchers and five bench players with a six-game road trip to San Diego and Colorado, where starter Ryan Vogelsong didn't make it through the second inning in the series opener Monday.
"Here is where you want an extra pitcher," Bochy said of Coors Field. "We'll see how we get through this series. It's something we'll discuss once we get home, see where we're at with this pitching and if we think we're going to need an extra bench player. Right now, no, we're not talking about it."
Coors Field also provides a question regarding Michael Morse, a big bat in the middle of the Giants lineup but a player Bochy often pulls defensively for Gregor Blanco. Colorado's outfield is one of the more expansive in baseball, but it's also a park that thrives on a lumber-heavy lineup.
"Sometimes you get in a slugfest and you want to keep your bats out there," Bochy said of the challenge the park presents. "You get kind of caught there. But we'll run it like we've been running it. [Morse] will be out there five or six innings if it's going out way. If not, he'll stay out there."
Giants: Needing to ignite
The Giants have averaged two runs a game over their last seven, and nothing has helped them find their rhythm -- not even the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field.
"We haven't really been swinging the bat real well lately," Brandon Crawford said after losing the first game of the series to the Rockies. "It doesn't really matter what's been thrown at us lately, we're just not hitting them."
When the Giants could create opportunities Monday, they couldn't bring them home. They scored one run on a double-play grounder and a second run on a two-out error in the ninth, leaving eight on base and going 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position.
"As bad as it went there in the early going, we had our chances to get back in the game," manager Bruce Bochy said. "We just couldn't get a hit to get it going. A couple double-play balls kind of stopped our rallies there. In this ballpark, anything can happen. We just couldn't get the hit line moving."
Rockies: Morneau no longer left behind
In recent injury-affected seasons, first baseman Justin Morneau lost his touch against left-handed pitching. After hitting .325 against them before suffering a severe concussion in 2010, Morneau hit .144 in 2011, .237 in 2012 and .207 last year -- when at least he was able to play 152 regular-season games for the Twins and Pirates and was able to re-establish himself as a full-time player.
This year, Morneau has been far better against lefties -- .333 (5-for-15) with a home run (a blast Sunday off Phillies lefty specialist Jake Diekman) -- and three RBIs.
Morneau said he is returning to the days when he didn't care.
"Coming up through the Minor Leagues, you never even pay attention to it," said Morneau, who on Monday was named National League Player of the Week. "You just play. In the big leagues, you come up and don't really think about it. But when the numbers start to go the other way, you start to pay attention more.
"Now I'm feeding off the confidence of Michael Cuddyer, Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez. They don't care if the guy is right-handed or left-handed or throws 90 or 100. They think they should get a hit. That's the mentality I've tried to get myself back to, not concerning myself with anything but having a good approach. That's the way it's supposed to be."
Worth noting
• Lefty reliever David Huff knocked his first career Major league hit with a single in the second inning and scored his first run. However, he left the game with a left quadriceps strain.
• Tulowitzki walked in his first two times up Monday night to extend his run of reaching base to eight plate appearances.
• Arenado's first-inning home run extended his hit streak to 12 games, during which he has hit .375 (18-for-48) with four doubles, a home run, five RBIs and four runs.
• The Giants have dropped seven of their last 12 and three of the first four games of a six-game road trip.
• Outfielder Charlie Blackmon's four homers from the leadoff spot are second-most in the Majors from that position to the five by the Brewers' Carlos Gonzalez.
• The Rockies' five homers Monday night were their most in any game against the Giants at Coors.

Shop NowA proper kneeling chair creates the open body angle by lowering the angle of the lower body, keeping the spine in alignment and the sitter properly positioned to task. The benefit of this position is that if one leans inward, the body angle remains 90 degrees or wider. A misconception regarding kneeling chairs is that the body's weight bears on the knees. In a proper kneeling chair, some of the weight bears on the shins, not the knees, but the primary function of the shin rests (knee rests) are to keep one from falling forward out of the chair.
Kneeling chairs were designed upon the ergonomic concept "A strong back is a healthy back." By promoting good posture, the chairs strengthen the lower back muscles helping spinal alignment and support. A kneeling chair also encourages you to find your natural balance line, which runs in a line from your ear, to shoulder, to hips and ankle when you are seated.

REDLANDS - For the city's 125th anniversary celebration, I interviewed Barbara Hauser, a 97-year-old native with a clear memory of this town in the 1920s and after.
She says there were no supermarkets, and housewives didn't have their cars, so milk, ice, bread, produce and other things were delivered, sometimes by horse-drawn carts.
She remembers the first streetlight going up at State and Orange streets.
She describes the trolley car system that used to be the main method of transportation in town, and recalls going to the Smiley estate, Canon Crest park, to picnic with her family.
She said there were little huts Redlanders called "spoon holders" because lovers would go in there, and they're activities were referred to as "spooning."
She talks about her memories of smudging - lighting oil in the smudge pots in the orange groves when there was a frost. Men and boys did that work, she said.
"It created a dense smoke that surrounded the trees and for the homes nearby, anywhere the wind didn't blow it away, it would get in the houses, seep through the windows. You couldn't keep it out. The curtains were black. Everything you touched was greasy and black."
Citrus owners made sure to listen to the radio at 8 p.m. to hear forecaster Floyd Young give the frost report. She said everybody in town would stop whatever they were doing to tune in.
"They all were eager to know how dangerous it was going to be that night."
One time, she said, the smoke from smudging was so thick a trolley car missed a turn and caused a crash that was heard throughout the town.
For entertainment, she says there was the Wyatt Opera House, and at the end of the Vaudeville era, the Fox movie theater. The Wyatt was ultimately condemned and destroyed about when the Clock Auditorium at Redlands High School was built.
In the early century, teens would go downtown to a triangle space at the corner or Orange and Citrus and hang out at the Triangle Chocolate Shop.
Down Brookside there was a root beer stand, where children drank free out of mini steins.
She said that in mid-century people used to go to Smiley Park and play games under a palm-thatched roof. People gathered there and played croquet and checkers.
One time her grandfather was playing checkers there with another man and he announced he had just become a great-grandfather for the first time. The other man said the same was true of him. It turned out they were talking about the same baby, Barbara's son.
Barbara's late husband, Joel, collected petrified rocks. Part of his collection is on display at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, but much of it is at their home and shown in the video.

Mobile application monitoring breeds business possibilities
Click here to download now
Overview: Mobile applications are radically altering the way businesses operate and how they interact with their employees and customers. The way applications are managed is going to have to change as well. The challenge this poses for IT organisations can be summed up in a single word performance. The systems and practices most organisations have in place are oriented to the hard-wired infrastructure.
While IT organisations may be able to monitor and manage their legacy applications effectively, the solutions theyre using wont be adequate for the new complexity mobility brings. They will need new techniques to confidently provide the same high levels of service for mobile applications that their traditional applications deliver and to meet and exceed customer expectations.

Supports Longevity
Resveratrol is one of a group of antioxidant compounds called polyphenols found in numerous plants and in red wine that has been reported to support a healthy inflammation response as well as cellular health properties.

Resvantage Canine is Nitrogen Packed.Oxygen is the enemy of Resveratrol and many other natural plant compounds. In order to protect the resveratrol content in each capsule from degrading and to insure maximum potency, Resvantage Canine is encapsulated by the Capsugel division of Pfizer in an oxygen-free, nitrogen-rich environment utilizing their patented Licaps process. And the liquid filled capsules are opaque, further protecting the resveratrol from losses due to exposure to light.
A Nutritional Supplement manufactured to strict pharmaceutical standards insures that your pet is getting the highest quality and safest supplement available on the market today.
What is resveratrol and how does it support cellular health?Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol called a phytoalexin, a class of compounds produced as part of a plant's defense system against disease. It is produced in the plant in response to an invading fungus, stress, injury, infection, or ultraviolet irradiation. Resveratrol is present in 70 different plant varieties including: grapes, pomegranates, raspberries, peanuts, and other plants.
Resveratrol has been shown to support cellular health in animals by maintaining cells through development. Evidence also exists that it supports a healthy inflammation response. Resveratrol is also an antioxidant.

This product is fantastic

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Resvantage Resveratrol:
I give this product to our standard poodle Fletcher who was diagnosed with leukemia. He had chemotherapy and has been cancer free for over five years. He takes resvantage every day (despite the fact I live in New Zealand!) as it is the only product that helps to support his immune system and maintains his cancer free status. I am a huge believer in it being a key to his ongoing health and can't recommend it enough.

By Proudest Westie Mum
from Pa
I am the proudest mum of two beautiful West Highland White Terriers. My first born, Madison, has been battling a horrific illness for some time now. Last year, I had purchased this product, but was unable to administer it to her (she wouldn't take it - Westies are VERY smart and VERY feisty!) After suffering a ruptured abcess in her sinuses (horrifying!), I have been giving this product to her daily. Though she is quite small, giving her one capsule a day at one meal has not caused her any ill effects at all (which is exactly what the back label states.) The doctors believe that there was cancer in her sinuses and that is what caused the abcess and rupture. She is the strongest and bravest little dog and is battling this evil disease like the champion that she is! I truly believe that she would not be here now if it weren't for this medicine. We are praying for her complete recovery and I will continue to order this for her and give it to her daily. SO thankful for Only Natural Pet and their wonderful products to help my angels :)
Well balanced product!

Did not notice any change
By Corgi Mom
from Walnut Creek, CA
I bought this for my 6 year old dog. He is healthy other than environmental allergies and minor joint stiffness. Although he is on a joint supplement, I thought I might see even more improvement-and maybe help with the allergies. I did not see any affect (good or bad) from this supplement at all.

Doing WONDERS for my 16yr old Min Pin
By B
from Portland, Oregon
Our 16 year old Min Pin has been one of the healthiest dogs I've seen...and one day, it seemed as if her health was sliding extremely fast. After taking her to the vet to find out her condition could be caused by a neurological problem; a tumor; heart disease; cancer; kidney or liver failure, we thought about making her life as comfortable as possible. She was acting "drunk," and was barely eating anything. Unresponsive. I began researching her symptoms and came across Resvantage. We took a chance and it was the best decision we could have made! Just after 2 days her appetite increased tremendously, she was less wobbly, responding better. By day 3 she could jump up on the couch again and could go up/down a few stairs! By the end of day 3, she was wagging her "nub" tail again. I don't expect a miracle, but things have DRASTICALLY turned around in a few short days. This product can be so beneficial to prevent noted illnesses as well as helping animals who are getting older. We're starting our 7yr old shephard/lab on the product as well as our 3yr old chihuahua mix. This product is the real thing!

I like the health benefits but...
By Sashphia
from Wyckoff, NJ
According to the dosage instructions on the box; I am supposed to administer 1/4 of the supplement daily to my dogs who both weigh under 10lbs. However; this is extremely difficult because 1. The supplement is a liquid capsule and 2. You can't pull the capsule apart! It is fused. The only way I have been able to administer this supplement is by splintering the capsule open and kind of putting 1/2 of the capsule in one dog's bowl and the other 1/2 in the other and I get most of it all over my fingers. This causes problems with precise dosage administration. I am surprised that it's made this way and I'm hoping that it changes to accommodate smaller dosages for small dogs or hopefully there is another comparable brand.For this reason, I would not be able to fully recommend to someone with a small dog.
I wish I knew about this product sooner!

Anti-aging pill for dogs and cats

I learned of this product online doing research on Resveratrol. This is the only product available that is in liquid capsule format which actually retains its benefits without oxidizing. This can be taken by humans alike and is the equivalent of drinking your glass of wine a day without the negative effects. I'm sold for life and recommend it to all my family and friends for their pets, but more importantly, themselves!

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION In spite of modern brewing technology, this beer is brewed according to ancient traditions. It unites, now as in the past, the best products of our soil: rich barley and fine hops.. It's refined character, with a pure and rich taste, will captivate you. It is matured at length in cellar and bottle, and is guaranteed to be brewed only from pale malts. It is traditionally top-fermented and is 100% pure.

The Rutland Herald and its sister paper, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, laid off four workers this week, a sign the newspaper industry continues to struggle.
Each of the papers laid off a news assistant. The Rutland Herald also laid off an information technology worker and a clerical worker in subscriber services.
Catherine Nelson, general manager of the Mitchell family-owned papers, said Thursday the staff reductions were driven in part by an overdue consolidation of certain job functions and the economy.
Nelson said while the economy is moving in the right direction, the pace of recovery remains "extremely slow."
"We see really kind of encouraging signs about that but we don't believe for a minute that we're going to have an economy that's going to grow significantly and everybody believes that," she said.
A major responsibility of the news assistants at the two papers was to handle obituary notices. But Nelson said that function will be transitioned to front office personnel, which is typical at most papers.
She said the IT position was no longer required because the company now outsources the printing of both papers.
The company lost its press in Barre during the flood of May 2011, resulting in several million dollars in damage.
The Rutland Herald and Times Argus together employ approximately 90 workers.
The papers are owned by the R. John Mitchell family.MORE IN This Just InBASEBALL Full StoryBOYS BASEBALL Full StoryFH planners set for meeting today Full Story -

In an effort to capture market share in the children's foods category, Disney Consumer Products (DCP) debuted a broad line of "better for you" foods, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to frozen meals, through a partnership with Kroger supermarkets. In answer to a global obesity epidemic, DCP reformulated existing products and introduced new ones which met stringent nutritional requirements. Disney--and by extension, DCP--is highly influential with children: can the company use its "magic" to get children to switch from sugary, processed foods and become lifelong converts to a more nutritious diet? What is the food industry's responsibility in this controversial space?

Commerce to buy IT more strategically
Friday - 6/17/2011, 5:52pm EDT
Simon Szykman, CIO, Commerce speaking with WFED's Jason Miller
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The Commerce Department is shifting how it buys commodity information technology.
Simon Szykman, the Commerce Department's chief information officer, said he wants to centralize the buying structure through strategic sourcing for technologies such as storage, email and other commonly used technologies.
"The Commerce Department's chief financial officer made a commitment to save $50 million next year through the use of strategic sourcing," Szykman said after a recent conference. "The strategic sourcing initiative is not all IT, but we plan to spend less on commodity IT."
He said Commerce also will look at office supplies, shipping and professional services, but IT plays a big role.
"The government is going to need to buy IT to support its mission. Some programs may shrink and go away, but there will be new programs and priorities," Szykman said. "We plan on spending less for the unit things we are buying when it comes down to commodities. [Vendors] have to be aggressive on pricing. People have to be willing to look at larger volumes and be willing to offer better pricing."
Szykman said the $50 million goal is a stretch goal set by outgoing Commerce Secretary Gary Locke. He said there are several different areas that his office will explore for savings, including hardware, software and services.
"The ones we are looking at first are the ones that are most ubiquitous, so that includes PCs and monitors, printers, copiers, faxes and those types of managed printing services, and wireless phones, devices and cell phone plans," he said. The General Services Administration recently kicked off a strategic sourcing effort around wireless plans. It released a request for information through its BetterBuy wiki in April.
Szykman said Commerce currently is doing its own analysis of wireless devices and plans in preparation to moving to a strategic sourcing effort - whether through GSA or done internally.
"We need to do a deep analysis of our overall spend in these areas," he said. "We are doing a lot of analysis now. We are doing planning. You need to understand what standard configurations you want to be purchasing. Right now we are at the stage where we are really focused on understanding our internal needs, developing baselines and developing requirements."
Commerce's analysis includes performing asset management assessment and a review of historical spending, which is most difficult because of the decentralized purchasing that has gone on over the years across the department.
But strategic sourcing is just one element of a larger acquisition reform effort across Commerce.
Szykman said he's also looking at expanding the use of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's IT services contract, NOAA Link, across the entire department.
"There are a variety of challenges [to expanding NOAALink]," he said. "Some of them are culture and some of them are in fact potentially legal processes that we need to put in place the right memorandum of agreements and then we also have to do a fair analysis on the impact of small businesses of doing some of these type of things."
Szykman said the discussion around NOAALink is an example of how the budget pressures every agency is facing are bringing a greater collaboration among CIOs.
He said the larger bureaus want to make available their contracts and technologies to the smaller bureaus, and more bureaus are partnering on acquisitions and services.
"There's a lot more emphasis on squeezing out the inefficiencies," Szykman said. "Every dollar that can be saved is now effectively becoming a dollar that may not be something that has to be cut out of programs. So there's a lot more pressure to find and eliminate inefficiencies."

�Structurally deficient�
A federal rating of �structurally deficient� doesn�t necessarily mean that a bridge is unsafe to use, it means that work is needed on beams, pilings or road surfaces � and sometimes all three. One possible impact for local highway departments is that they may be required to impose weight limits on a deficient bridge.
Appleton bridge work
One of the worst rated bridges in the state is the Prospect Avenue span over Jackman Street near the Fox River in Appleton. At the end of 2011, it held a rating of 6 on a 100-point scale (with 100 being the best). The bridge is scheduled to be rebuilt in 2015 at a cost to the city of $600,000. Another poorly rated span is the Lawe Street bridge, which will be rebuilt in 2014 and cost the city $180,000. The South Island Street bridge will be rebuilt in 2016 at a city cost of $243,000.
Four years after an interstate bridge in Minneapolis collapsed, killing 13 people and focusing attention on the condition of the nation�s transportation infrastructure, limited progress has been made in making repairs to spans in Wisconsin.
Some 1,200 bridges in the state, nearly 1 in 10, were considered �structurally deficient� at the end of 2011, a Gannett Wisconsin Media review of the most recent Federal Highway Administration data found. In 2007, the year of the Interstate 35W bridge tragedy, the total was 1,300.
Although Wisconsin has moved aggressively to repair or replace spans along major transit corridors like U.S. 41 and Interstate 43, authorities say the pool of money to fix bridges serving the next tier of roads � usually in rural or suburban areas � has not kept pace with needs. That can pose challenges for local officials.
�I would argue that there is never enough money for infrastructure,� said Paula Vandehey, public works director for Appleton, which has 34 city-owned bridges and five state spans.
The Olde Oneida Street bridge spanning the Fox River is among several in the city deemed structurally deficient. Its rating in 2011 was 37.8 on a 100-point scale (with 100 being the best). The span, now approaching 70 years old, carries 14,000 vehicles a day.
Vandehey said bridge work schedules mostly are tentative based on anticipated funding.
Earlier this month, crews reconstructing the bridge found serious problems with its steel substructure, which will increase the cost of the $2.5 million project by a yet-unknown amount and delay the completion by at least six weeks. State and federal money is covering 80 percent of the cost and Appleton will pay 20 percent.
While �structurally deficient� doesn�t mean that a bridge is unsafe to use, it means that work is needed on beams, pilings or road surfaces � and sometimes all three. One possible impact for local highway departments is that they may be required to impose weight limits on a deficient bridge, according to the state Department of Transportation.
About 85 of the structurally deficient bridges are the responsibility of the DOT, which maintains about 4,900 spans along the state highway system; the remainder are the responsibility of local governments. The data Gannett Wisconsin Media reviewed is from the National Bridge Inventory, an annual listing of bridge conditions throughout the country.
'Holding our own'
More than 700 of the bridges on the deficient list in 2011 also were on the list in 2007. Part of the reason, a Madison-based bridge expert said, is that the state focused on massive projects with major costs.
�We were doing very well in replacing our deficient bridges until about five years ago,� said Michael Oliva, a University of Wisconsin professor of civil and environmental engineering who has written extensively about bridge design and construction. �(But) in the past five years, four major replacement projects in the state have drawn large amounts of funding from the pool� of overall bridge-replacement money.
In recent years, the emphasis in Wisconsin has been to upgrade bridges along the state�s busiest highways to bolster a system through which commerce and tourism dollars circulate. Gov. Scott Walker has said repeatedly since taking office in 2011 that significant investment in transportation improvements would be key to the state�s economic future.
In that period, tens of millions of dollars were allocated to bring older sections of U.S. 41 to modern standards in the Appleton, Green Bay and Oshkosh areas. Millions more were spent to untangle knots at highway choke points in Milwaukee, and to improve conditions on Interstate 94 near Racine and Kenosha.
Some of the lowest-rated bridges carrying state and local highways have been replaced. But less money remains to pay for other bridge projects.
�We are sort of holding our own,� Oliva said in an email interview. �The more rural or regional replacements may be suffering a bit for lack of funding.�
At the end of 2011, according to the National Bridge Inventory, fixing all of the state�s deficient bridges would cost $81 million.
Limits on funding
Local officials used to be able to cover much of the costs of repairing key bridges by having their representatives in Congress designate earmarks for specific bridge repair, but earmarking has effectively been eliminated in recent years.
State officials say they�re doing all they can to maintain bridges, with a focus on those that serve the most traffic. But, they point out, there is a limited amount of money to go around, and other pressing needs for funding.
�If I were to go to the next local meeting and ask if road funding is an issue, the answer would be �sure,�� said Andre Jacque, a state representative from Bellevue in Brown County. �But a lot of other things would probably come up first � unfunded mandates, welfare fraud.
�I wouldn�t say that bridges are something that I hear a ton of complaints about.�
In Manitowoc County, Two Rivers City Manager Greg Buckley said his city was fortunate to receive a federal commitment to fund a bridge-replacement project while earmarks were more easily obtained.
�We lobbied long and hard for this,� he said of an $8 million earmark that�s helping to replace a 63-year-old bridge carrying 17th Street over the East Twin River. The bridge had languished under a weight limit for years.
Without the earmark, he said, �We would have really been hurting. � You want to tell your people there�s going to be no tax increase, but you have to keep the infrastructure from rotting.�
Still, he said, the city had to borrow $2.8 million to come up with its share of the cost of the project, which carries a price tag of $14 million. If the city didn�t replace the bridge, thousands of vehicles each day would be forced onto State 42, which becomes congested at times during the warmer months because it serves both locals and out-of-towners who are bound for Door County.
Replacement is scheduled to be complete in mid-2013. Until then, the 4,000 vehicles that were using the span daily are forced to find another route across the river.

MLB Network has exclusive U.S. rights to broadcast the World Baseball Classic, but those rights begin and end with the English language. Lacking compelling content for a slow Sunday night, ESPN elected to use its loophole in owning Spanish-language rights to simulcast its ESPN Deportes feed of tonight's Dominican Republic-Puerto Rico game on the network's flagship station. Any time the WWL introduces a new audience to content usually found on another station, people react poorly. And ESPN's no stranger to stirring up a racist hornet's nest, either. So here's a sampling of what people are saying online about the broadcast, which we'll remind you cannot be shown in English on ESPN (and is being shown in English just a few channels away on MLB Net).

The community of East Elmhurst enjoys some of the best features of Queens living: tree-lined streets, excellent transportation, close proximity to Manhattan, two airports, Shea Stadium, and a branch of the Queens Library System.
The East Elmhurst community is a young and small community that was carved out off the Jackson Heights and Corona areas. One, two, and three family homes make up the architecture of the community. Some high rise apartments provide additional housing for a bursting community. At one time the area was mainly beach and recreational land space. The neighborhood of East Elmhurst has seen profound and rapid demographic changes over the years. The eastern Europeans who first settled in the area have since yielded to other populations including Italian, Greek, and Spanish-Americans, African Americans, and Haitians. More recent groups include Asians and Eastern Indians.
The East Elmhurst Branch opened for business in June of 1912 and was known as the Louona Park Library. Like many branches of the Queens Library system, the East Elmhurst Branch has claimed many different locations as its home over the years. Unlike the others, though, every time the branch changed its location, it also changed its name. It was renamed the Northern Boulevard Library when it moved to Northern Boulevard in May of 1927. In 1942 the library found a new home at 90th Street and Astoria Boulevard and brought with it the new but peculiar appellation of North Beach Library. The branch assumed its current name when a new city owned building was erected in 1972 at its present home at 95-06 Astoria Boulevard.
For many years, the East Elmhurst Branch was one of Queens Library's five Community Neighborhood Information Centers, offering referral services to people in need. This service was largely used by older adults who needed the aid of city agencies and community organizations, and young mothers who were seeking information on day care centers and schools. The branch continues to serve as a depository for the City's Department of Environmental Protection materials about the ongoing Flushing Bay project.
Over the years the East Elmhurst library has had the flavor of a "community center" which numerous community groups used as their monthly meeting place. Satisfying cultural needs goes hand-in-hand with fulfilling the informational needs of the branch's steady stream of small business owners, retailers, construction, airport workers, and students.
The East Elmhurst branch enjoys top ranking in sessions and attendance for its delivery of cultural, musical, and informational type programs. East Elmhurst is known for its large number of famous artists of all genres. An impressive number of branch programming originates from the community.
Among the many unique and outstanding programs and activities taking place at the East Elmhurst Library over the years, three memorable ones include: Former Mayor David Dinkins' use of the library for the filming of his last mayoral campaign commercial which included issuing to him a Queens library card; the celebration of the library's 100th anniversary in 1996; and the recipient of a Plaque for the New York Times' first Librarian Award in September, 2001.
A unique and successful feature of the East Elmhurst Community Library's services is its mission of "Keeping Jazz Alive in Louis Armstrong's Neighborhoods". A grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation Inc. makes it possible for Jazz artists, performers, and workshop presenters from throughout the Metropolitan area to help us accomplish our mission. The Louis Armstrong House is located in Corona, but is in walking distance to the East Elmhurst Community Library .

The name Meixiu is of Chinese origin.
The meaning of Meixiu is "beautiful grace".
In the U.S. in 2013 less than 5 girls were given the name. Less than 5 boys were given the name.

Just for fun, see the name Meixiu in Hieroglyphics, learn about ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics and write a Hieroglyphic message.
Learn about nautical flags and see your name or message written in nautical flags, on the Meixiu in Nautical Flags page.
Looking for something more mystical? Visit the Meixiu Numerology page.
Males are often given names which are linked to strength and firmness and females to names associated with beauty and flowers. Chinese children are never named after a famous person or an elder in the family as this is considered offensive.
Full names are used to address someone informally, and a salutation along with the family name is used to address someone formally. For example, Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets would be addressed as Yao Ming informally and Mr. Yao formally.
Some Chinese people who emigrate to or do business in Western nations, reverse the order of their names as a way of Westernizing their names. For example the cellist and composer Yo-Yo Ma, whose family name is Ma.

Hot House Video
- 9.7/10
Bike Messenger Dillon Crow returns, this time to make a pick up. Administrative Assistant Jackson Wild knows of Crow's reputation and takes advantage of his lunch hour to get his fat cock sucked. Crow drops and pulls out Wild's enormous cock and sucks it long and hard, his spit drooling down the shaft to Wild's huge balls. Crow crawls underneath Wild, eats his ass and sucks his cock, then stands up so Wild can go down on him. Wild gags on Crow's fat cock, then orders him to turn around and bend over the reception desk. Wild's fat cock slides slowly in Crow's hole but he builds momentum until he's pounding Crows fat ass. Just as Wild pulls out Crow gets on his knees and takes his thick load all over his face. Crow beats off and cums just as Wild's lunch break ends.

Hacienda On World Cafe
Originally published on Mon October 1, 2012 3:48 pm
San Antonio's Hacienda is a family band featuring brothers Abraham, Jaime and Rene Villanueva, as well as their cousin Dante Schwebel. The Tex-Mex rockers had just started the band and recorded their first demo when they had an encounter that would change the course of their careers. In 2005, they met Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys; after listening to their demo, Auerbach took them under his wing. Shortly thereafter, they toured with Auerbach as the backing band for his solo album, Keep It Hid, along with My Morning Jacket's Patrick Hallahan.
Hacienda went on to record its debut album, Loud in the Night, at Auerbach's studio in Akron, Ohio; he also produced the band's second album, Big Red and Barbacoa, as well as this year's Shakedown. The group has continued to gain recognition through its energetic live shows, and by opening for bands such as Dr. Dog, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and, of course, The Black Keys.
In this session of World Cafe, Hacienda plays tracks from Shakedown.
