- The head of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is retiring. Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar said he will be leaving at the end of March. He has spent 32 years with the agency including decades in the border patrol. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has not named a successor to lead the agency. (Federal News Radio)
- The National Weather Service announced Sunday that Louis Uccellini will be the agency's
new director effective immediately. Uccellini is a 24-year veteran of the agency. He was previously director of the National Centers for Environmental Protection in College Park, Md. He is a fellow and two-term president of the American Meteorological Society. Uccellini has also co-authored the two-volume title, "Northeast Snowstorms." Laura Furgione, who had been acting director, will return to her job as deputy. (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
- The Recovery, Accountability and Transparency Board, which was supposed to expire this September, will instead have a new, two-year lease on life. Government Executive reported that the extension comes courtesy of the Hurricane Sandy relief bill President Obama signed into law last month. A provision to keep the RAT board alive for the purposes of tracking Sandy relief dollars is buried deep in the $50 billion bill. The board was created by the 2009 economic stimulus bill to track and report on the nearly $900 billion that law authorized. Under the Sandy law, the board will send quarterly reports to the House and Senate appropriations committees. (Gov Exec)
- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he plans to put holds on John Brennan and Chuck Hagel's nominations for CIA chief and Defense secretary, respectively, in order to prevent the vote of both confirmations. Graham wants to find out more answers from the White House as to what happened on Sept. 11, 2012, when the State Department outpost in Benghazi, Libya was attacked by terrorists resulting in the deaths of four Americans. Graham told the "Face the Nation" talk show on Sunday that he wants to get to the bottom of Benghazi. The White House calls the move unprecedented and unwarranted. (Federal News Radio)
- The White House Office of Management and Budget Controller Danny Werfel said hundreds of thousands of federal workers will have to take leave without pay if the government follows through on $85 billion in broad spending cuts next month. He said agencies should have informed employees last week. But agencies that actually go through with furloughs must give employees who are affected more detailed, personalized notices at least 30 days in advance. Werfel said he has not heard of that happening yet and some agencies would make immediate cuts under sequestration while others might aim for gradual decreases in spending and services. He added agencies may not have a choice without reprogramming authority from Congress. (Federal News Radio)
- A worker who is a victim of domestic violence does not have to prove it and definitely should not be forced to go to the police, according to tips in new guidance by the Office of Personnel Management. The handbook for agency leaders stems from a 2012 presidential directive on stopping domestic violence in the federal workforce. The guide addresses sexual assault and stalking too. It recommends agencies assemble planning groups of managers, union representatives, human resources experts and security professionals to assess current policies. It said agencies must have reporting procedures and incident response plans. Each agency has four months to tailor a draft policy based on the guidance. (OPM)
- It looks as if President Barack Obama will propose a 1 percent pay raise for federal wokers in his fiscal 2014 budget plan. It comes after more than two years of a pay freeze followed by a 0.5 percent raise that is supposed to begin in March. Federal unions said it's better than nothing but not good enough. The American Federation of Government Employees said a 1 percent raise does not tell feds that the White House values their work. (Federal News Radio)

Forecasting the future of business in America can be problematic. Technological change can shift the demand for different products. Geographic preferences could lead to business relocations. Global uncertainty continues as many states and countries struggle to gain a footing in the economic malaise caused by the Great Recession. Although some indicators point to slow, steady increase in economic growth, this growth in many places is still tenuous at best. The key to sustaining any growth will be in identifying advancing industries and taking innovative steps to ensure their long-term economic health.
For those searching for clear signs that the economy is pulling itself out from under the weight of the past four years, one may not have to look far beyond the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., metropolitan region. Studies show that the market for the Greater Baltimore area is growing considerably, both in terms of employment and in the production of goods and services, and the region is home to one of the most highly educated workforces in the United States. Reports have ranked the Baltimore-Washington area as one of the top places in the country for technology job growth and innovation, while a 2011 U.S. Census American Community Survey lists Washington, D.C., first and Baltimore fourth for the percentage of the population with graduate or professional degrees.
How has the Greater Baltimore area achieved this growth during a period of uncertainty, and what might this mean for the both the future of business and business schools? In this month's feature, J. Thomas Sadowski, president and chief executive officer of the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore, explains how Baltimore-Washington is well-positioned to compete and evolve in today's market. Sadowski discusses the future of business in Baltimore and other cities, growth industry trends, and the prospects for graduate business students and business schools.
What is the current makeup of industry concentrations in the Greater Baltimore area and how does it compare to past economies in the area?
The Greater Baltimore market is heavily concentrated in key high-wage, high-skill, and high-growth industries, such as professional, scientific and technical services, educational services, and health care. The move toward a more technical and professional service-oriented economy has been ongoing:
It is important to note that while the manufacturing industry has lost almost half of its employees since 1990, manufacturing is still an important part of the regional economy. At its core, the Greater Baltimore economy is one that is driven by innovation. New technologies and next generation manufacturing principles have therefore made industry much more productive. Manufacturing GDP and value added per employee in the region is consequently higher than ever. New public/private improvements being made at the Port of Baltimore have enhanced our competitive profile globally and we expect the manufacturing sector here to grow and thus benefit from what is a rich tradition in manufacturing excellence.
Financial services has contracted to a smaller degree related to the national recession, but a healthy base of financial institutions, employment base, and our value when compared to other major U.S. market puts Greater Baltimore in a solid position to gain in this key sector. We are and will continue to be heavily concentrated in federal government operations. While this area is subject to fluctuation related to the federal budget, the strategic importance of these operations (health care, medical research and development, and information technology) suggests they will continue to be major contributors to the region's economic base.
Do these industry changes in Baltimore relate in any way to larger national trends?
These are certainly reflective of national trends, though they seem to be more magnified in Greater Baltimore. For instance, many metros experienced an employment shift away from manufacturing and trade toward education, health care, and professional and business services. Greater Baltimore has markedly higher concentrations in the latter sectors. In fact, as of year-end 2011, Greater Baltimore had 78 percent more employees in educational services than the national average due in large measure to the quality of educational and research institutions, career opportunities, and standard-of-living factors enjoyed here.
(This is no different in Greater Baltimore, except education and health services serve the region's largest economic sector.)
What are other growth trends in industrial concentrations or economic sectors are you seeing?
Health care and educational services continue to grow at an extraordinarily fast pace. It is the fastest growing sector in the U.S. economy. The professional, scientific, and technical services subsector in Greater Baltimore has grown nearly 80 percent since 1990, which is faster than the U.S. average.
Baltimore has been recognized by a variety of media outlets (link to E.A.G.B. Regional Economic Update report) as arguably the strongest growing information technology market in the United States? Can you elaborate on the factors that have led to this growth?
The No. 1 factor right now is proximity to key federal government, research labs, and installations that rely heavily on private sector innovators and technology service/solution providers. There is no better place to locate an IT or cyber security firm than Greater Baltimore. The region is home to two technology-driven military installations at the U.S. Army's Fort George G. Meade and Aberdeen Proving Ground. The National Security Agency and the U.S. Cyber Command both reside at Fort Meade and rely on technologies developed by private industry and higher education institutions in the region. The world's first general purpose computer was produced at Aberdeen Proving Ground and today the Communications-Electronics Command is located there. Many of the federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the FBI and even the Social Security Administration and Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services rely on IT, security services, and systems developed by private industry. It's no surprise that this region is dubbed the cyber security capital of the world.
The region's educational institutions are vital, innovative partners in this area, structuring their programs to reflect the needs of private employers and their federal clients. Their coursework continues to evolve to ensure that its students are getting the proper skills needed to compete in the workforce. This creates a pipeline for the federal government and private IT firms and also an attractive place in which to learn and pursue career advancement.
The State of Maryland has made this a particular area of focus (through its Cyber Maryland initiative) and Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore is working closely with the state to market the state's assets and resources and help further establish a supportive eco-system. That eco-system would not only sustain current economic activity but also encourage public/private investment in new innovations, tech transfer, collaboration, commercialization, and entrepreneurship.
The key to success here is the partnership between government, industry, and higher education. This dynamic relationship is central to fostering innovation, attracting new investment, attracting and cultivating talent, achieving higher productivity, and fostering business retention and growth.
What do these discussed trends mean for those with advanced degrees or current graduate students in the Greater Baltimore area?
We've been able to build a concentrated network of very bright, highly skilled, and educated workers in a variety of fields. People with advanced degrees have access to a network of skilled professionals to serve as a resource or potential partner. Current students have the opportunity to receive mentoring from a pool of professionals in their chosen field. Not only is this good for the market and firms or organizations that are located here, but it also makes it a unique place in which to learn and grow.
Business schools must continue reaching out to private sector and federal customers to better address skills and needs with program offerings. Limited financial resources have posed some challenges but online course offerings, on-site training programs, and creative research partnerships are helping address immediate needs and longer term opportunities
Do you have additional advice for our readership?
This is a world-class market. We have taken delegations of government, industry, and higher education leaders on visits to California, New York, and Texas. We have learned a great deal from what is going on in these key markets—resulting in new business opportunities, government programs (such as Invest Maryland), and educational initiatives (mostly in the area of tech transfer). What has been most valuable however is the sense of pride we take back home. Beyond the numbers and statistical rankings, this region is pioneering new technologies, protecting the nation's critical infrastructure, discovering new treatments for disease, while providing the best health care and innovative educational programs in the country. Our charge going forward is to make sure there is a greater appreciation for what is happening in Greater Baltimore—the projects, the people, the institutions, and the companies making things happen for the better, here in our own backyard.

Dan Carter has returned to the All Blacks' starting XV for Saturday's Test against the Wallabies in Hong Kong but there's no room for Sonny Bill Williams.
Carter missed the third Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney with an ankle injury, but has recovered from surgery to reclaim the No 10 jersey from the axed Aaron Cruden.
But Williams, a rugby league recruit who has played for Canterbury in the national provincial championship, has been overlooked by coach Graham Henry and may have to wait until the Scotland match in two weeks' time to make his All Blacks debut.
'We didn't want to fire Sonny Bill into the deep end,' Henry said. 'We think he needs a bit of time to get accustomed to what we are trying to do out there and I think he needs clarity of what this All Blacks team are trying to do. It would have been a big ask to throw him out there in a big Test match like this without having time to get his feet under the table.'
Henry has made three other changes to the side that beat the Wallabies 23-22 with Joe Rokocoko returning to the left wing for Israel Dagg (injured), Jimmy Cowan at halfback for Piri Weepu (injured), and Jerome Kaino at blindside flanker for Victor Vito (not on tour).
New Zealand – 15 Mils Muliaina, 14 Cory Jane, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Joe Rokocoko, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Brad Thorn, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Keven Mealamu, 1 Tony Woodcock.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day column, said the Springboks did what was expected of them at Newlands.
Expected win. Great win. Not a 'good enough' win. Just a win?
Why don't we deal in reality?
Does it scare us? Does it make us think? Does it make us responsible? Does it confuse the escapism of sport because it forces us to be satisfied? And if we are satisfied, does it mean we can't feel a different sense of satisfaction a week later?
The Springboks don't lose against Argentina in South Africa. Traditionally they win by 20 points. There was one occasion when they won by a point. There was another when they won by 54. On balance it is 20.
They also don't lose in Argentina. There was one occasion they nearly did but that was because Springbok coach Harry Viljoen in 2000 did the unthinkable. He challenged a mindset. He told his players they were not allowed to kick the ball and they produced rugby for 40 minutes never played by a Springbok team.
It was a masterstroke, but the point had been made at half-time. And instead of applying logic so the point could be made the next time, he refused to believe in the reality of the situation. The Boks were not conditioned enough to play a match of rugby for 80 minutes without kicking the ball. Mentally no one was conditioned to accept it was possible.
Argentina, who wouldn't come out of their change room after half-time because of exhaustion in being forced to tackle for 40 minutes, defied the IRB rules and stayed there for 20 minutes instead of 10.
They knew the game could not be called off. They knew they couldn't play without legs. We forget that. We call it a lucky win. The day the Boks kicked the ball for the first time on 73 minutes and Braam van Straaten kicked a 78th-minute penalty to win the game 37-33. The day it all nearly went so horribly wrong. The day Harry showed he belonged in business and not rugby, apparently. The day Braam's kick restored sanity, stereotype and allowed our minds to rest.
We won. We should have lost. So South Africans said.
One British newspaper columnist wrote that it was the day the Boks defied the accepted norms about kicking and not keeping the ball; that it was about possession and not field position; and that it was about what we wanted to make it and not what others wanted us to believe it to be.
But he said it would never be remembered for how it all could have changed forever; it would be used as an example of why it should never change. Apparently we nearly lost when the story should have been about a victory of the evolution of the game and the mind of the player.
The Boks, 12 years later, beat Argentina with the tested formula of giving us what we have always had. Now it isn't good enough. The social networks are a reflection of the comfort in what has always been done and not what can be done. A day before the Test, some feared the Boks could lose. Some said they just had to win. Some said it should be 20 points. And when they won 27-6 some said they failed because they did not score a bonus point.
Argentina said they were happy. They had been competitive. South African coaches were not happy but at kick-off they would have taken a 20-point win. Why not now?
The All Blacks, having beaten the Wallabies 12 out of the past 15 times, won for a 13th time in 16. They apparently had not won; it was the Wallabies that had lost.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said his team were not where they wanted to be but they would be there next week. They will be in Auckland, where they haven't won since Moses parted the Red Sea, but there will be condemnation in Australia when they lose on Saturday and outrage in New Zealand if the All Blacks don't score the four-try bonus point.
What can we learn from Sydney and Cape Town? Nothing. What should we have expected to learn? Nothing?
The big guy simply strangled the little guy. Why dissect it? Unlike 2000, nothing was produced that shocked, surprised or made us think. And we remember 2000 for the day the Boks nearly lost, when it was the day rugby came so close to winning forever.
Mendoza and Auckland respectively will provide no new insight because it is still a big guy strangling the little guy and applying a formula that allows for the minds to be comforted and not challenged.
This weekend it will be 10 to the Boks in Mendoza and possibly 20 to the All Blacks in Auckland. It is expected, but it will not be good enough.
Rugby, as we want to know it, isn't ready for the unexpected although too many are never satisfied with the obvious.

Sample Testing:
Decennial (for Luckyscent) - Lys du Desert -- initial impression is that it's too sweet/floral and too heavy in this regard for my tastes; I got a similar overall vibe from Bogart's Arabian Nights (thank you mr. easyfish!) in the first hour, but it's developing in a different direction as more of the amber and woods are kickin in. Not for me.
Decennial (for Luckyscent) - Bois Bourbon -- initial impression is very favorable. Boozy, peppery, and dark rose. This one, so far, is very good. Get a sample.

"I used this card for my twins 1st bday pool bash and was able to make it work with two names and the "1" inside the ball! It was so cute and easy to coordinate colors with :) Steph"
"The finished product was EXACTLY as pictured online with regard to coloring and picture print quality. This invitation turned out absolutely adorable and the paper quality was great. I highly recommend this cute invitation!"
"Using these for my son's 1st birthday--a July pool party. They look fantastic and came super-fast! Another great tiny prints experience."
"This invitation was perfect for my son's first birthday at the beach. We personalized the back with additional info about the event, and really enjoyed the final product. Furthermore, Elise in customer service/editing helped us to make changes to the invite as proofs were created. Her edits were quick and thoughtful, and she was extremely gracious if we requested one more small change. Overall, great experience."
"I was in search for a simple, yet fun, style for my daughters 1st birthday party (pool party) invite. So glad I came across this design. I kept the main design elements the same as the default options because they matched our theme perfectly. Quality of the paper is great, and the color is good. I think the colors are much stronger online, however the invite results matched my expectations. The only thing I would have liked to do that I couldn't was to include more text. We needed to include some description text, but were limited in what we could say. I wish that this card, and others, allowed for more text - even it if it's on the back. All in all, love this card and have received many compliments."

Comments about Maxxis Ardent SC 29er Tire:
Even though this is not the tubeless-version, I was told by multiple sources that it would work tubeless with stan's fluid. Put a hole in it on my first ride, then after patching it and re-mounting, part of the bead ripped off and leaked air. Apparently for aggressive riding on rocky trails, the tubeless version or perhaps the 2.4 width are necessary.
Best Uses
Comments about Maxxis Ardent SC 29er Tire:
Considering the knobs and the volume, this tire rolls pretty darn fast. I am running them with super light tubes front and back and so far no complaints. I gave it 4 stars because I have only ridden it a couple of times and could not account for durability.
Comments about Maxxis Ardent SC 29er Tire:
I have these on my SantaCruz Tallboy Aluminium front and back. Night and day compared to the stock crossmarks. Not to wide but not to narrow either. They roll pretty fast considering the weight. I am running them with super light tubes. On dry conditions, they roll fast, but onces the trial gets moist. You can feel the weight. But overall I would recommend these tires if you are not worried about weight and ride on fairly dry trails.

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
Thanks for that. The last dunk on the tape shows that Okafur will easily bring what TC brought in terms of the open dunks. Of course, TC is a bit more athletic, but Paul is the master with floor spacing, and this is why Okafur will take off here.Originally Posted by Saints Fan in A
It's going to be a fun season. Tough, but fun.
Time for some football!!!
a lot of my North Carolina friends have been emphasizing that Okafur is NOT a good defender... i was under the impression that they were about even, though TC is more athletic.
they say he's a good shot-blocker but frequently gets pushed around down-low.
i still say we made off like bandits, but that's the one area that concerns me
This is probably why people say the trade is not as one-sided as many may think. TC seemed to go as far he could get in terms of development and as such he had some defensive liabilities in the paint/post. He couldn't seem to develop any real offense beyond hanging around the rim. Hanging around the rim is great, but that is where the injury problem comes in. If he isn't set back with a chronic injury, I am not sure we trade the guy. Really.Originally Posted by neworleanshoo
Hey, someone told me they heard on the news the deal is DONE!!

The Hornets announced today that they have acquired center Emeka Okafor from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for center Tyson Chandler.
"Emeka is one of the premier centers in the NBA with All-Star caliber scoring and rebounding averages throughout his career," said Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. "His potential to improve is endless once you put him on the court running with Chris Paul. We appreciate what Tyson has done for our club in the past and wish him the best, but our intention this summer was to improve our team and this trade is definitely a positive move in that direction."
Okafor (6-10, 235), a five-year veteran, has averaged a double-double his entire career, averaging 14.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in 330 games over five seasons with the Bobcats. Last season, Okafor averaged 13.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocks while playing in all 82 games.
He ranked second in the NBA in offensive rebounds (3.4), fifth in rebounds, sixth in field goal percentage (.561) and 12th in blocked shots. Okafor was the second overall pick in the 2004 Draft and earned Rookie of the Year honors with averages of 15.1 points and 10.9 rebounds during his rookie season.
More about Emeka Okafor:
Born in Houston, TX and attended Bellaire High School
Played for the University of Connecticut from 2001-2004
Graduated with Honors in Finance from UConn in 3 years with a GPA of 3.8
2004-2005 NBA Rookie of the Year
Launched a mobile texting campaign to raise money for the One Million African Lives Initiative (OMALI)

I real post presence on offense is going to help us immensely. This trade excites me more than anything I thought could have happened this offseason.
Cudos to Bower......wait, did I just say that?
Funny since those professional scouts and coaches at DraftExpress are saying that he is a great post defender who can even play some defense in the midrange.Originally Posted by neworleanshoo
I know he's a good defender and shot blocker cuz he has a lock and a hand under him on NBA Live.
Okafor is a better finisher than Chandler is. I remember saying at times in the 07-08 season that Chandler is overrated. He gets frazzled easily and unless he gets a wide open dunk he really doesn't finish, I especially noticed in the playoffs when the tension and pressure is higher. But on that note he will be missed because when his head was in the game and healthy he was fun to watch and he was a loveable guy.
I don't think size is as big a factor as heart, and Okafor has that and then some.
Also, lets dispell the rumor that the guy can't get up. His highlights show he can.
Bower pulled off a robbery, simple as that.

It actually took about 2-3 weeks to come together. The Bobjohnsoncats wanted to learn more about TC's condition and track his progress after the surgery.Originally Posted by Spaniard
Title: What are the Charlotte Bobcats thinking?Originally Posted by DSchexnaydre
Usually when a trade happens, I'll write something like, "On the surface, it makes no sense," and then proceed to walk you through all the cap ramifications to show why a seemingly lopsided deal actually makes some sense.
This isn't one of those.
I'm just as puzzled as anyone why the Bobcats would agree to trade Emeka Okafor to the Hornets for Tyson Chandler, because in terms of both basketball and cap implications, the deal makes a lot more sense for New Orleans than it does for Charlotte.
The Hornets pulled off the rare feat of saving money while becoming a better team. Yes, Okafor's contract runs three years longer, but that matters much less than the near-term implications of having a lower payroll this year and next year because of the luxury tax calculations.
He'll save the Hornets $1.1 million in salary and another $1.1 million in luxury tax this year, and he puts them close enough to the tax line that they could put themselves under by bribing somebody to take Antonio Daniels at the trade deadline. That will be difficult, yes, but it's not impossible.
Ditto for next year. The Hornets already are threatening the lowered tax threshold for next summer, and the trade would give them an extra $1.2 million in wiggle room to add players. (This presumes Chandler doesn't opt out of the final year of his contract at $12.7 million, which, based on his present production, would be fiscal insanity.)
And, as I mentioned, Okafor is the better player. Both players consistently have been honorable mentions in my all-defense picks, but Okafor is the superior scorer. That might not be saying much -- both players are somewhat limited offensively -- but Okafor can score on post-ups occasionally and make short bank shots, while Chandler's range ends at the charge circle. Over the past three seasons, Okafor has averaged nearly five more points per 40 minutes -- that's big.
The health disparity between the two also has been mentioned, but look closer, and I'm not sure there's any difference. Okafor has averaged 66 games per season over the course of his career, Chandler 67. Chandler has a bad toe that already nuked one trade, but Okafor has a problematic back. Okafor has played 82 games each of the past two seasons, but over their careers, their injury histories show little separation. Age isn't an issue either -- they were born four days apart.
Nevertheless, the Hornets have to be stoked. Getting a not-quite-All-Star caliber center who will do the dirty work on D and score a little improves their chances of hanging with the West's upper crust, although there remains much work to be done.
... (It goes on, but I don't think I'm allowed to post the whole thing.)
don't shoot the messenger but I hear Hornets are now in talks with the celtics for a sign and trade of Big Baby to the Hornets for Posey. Anybody else hear this?
Bringing it back to the bottom of the map!
this is awesome... I really like TC, but after the 2nd half of last season and the playoffs. I really dont him getting any better.
This guy sorta reminds me of brandon bass. Really athletic and moves quick.
Cant for CP to show him the ropes.
Yeah i did too..and as i said, i tried to smash my head jumping to the ceiling! This is one incredibly fantastic trade! Kudos to bower, for real!Originally Posted by Beezwax
Recently? Cause the last I heard Boston were talking to New Jersey about trading him for Yi Jianlian or in some kind of a three way deal for Marquis Daniels. I know the offer was out there, but I am not under the impression that was close. And I haven't heard anything about it in a couple of weeks. I think the Celtics decided to go a different direction.Originally Posted by Jujube
I think it's pretty clear at this point that Okafur isn't a superstar. He probably can be compared to Pau Gasol in that he was his team's best player but his team was pretty awful. He can't carry a team by himself.
Now he'll be the 2nd or 3rd best player on his new team. Now the Hornets actually can have a starting lineup where every player is a legit threat offensively. Tyson's only threat obviously was dunks and put-backs. The reality is, when Tyson put up 10 points and 10 boards, we were almost unbeatable. Okafur has averaged a double double every season of his career. And I also expect his points per game to go up slightly here. I'm expecting 15 and 11.
I don't think this puts the hornets over the top yet (Artest to the Lakers, RJ to the Spurs while getting Ginobli back, and Rasheed to the Celtics while getting KG back), but this should put them back to competing for the 2nd or 3rd best spot in the West. That's certainly better than watching them get knocked out of the first round of the playoffs.

A tenant is not generally responsible for normal "wear and tear" of the premises. However, if the damage left behind is more than normal "wear and tear," the landlord may be able to use the security deposit (or a portion of the security deposit) to pay for the damage. The landlord also might be able to sue for damage to property in Conciliation Court (less than $15,000) or District Court (over $15,000).

Wendy Shuler's bright red food cart has long gone hand-in-hand with home improvement, enticing hungry customers at Lowe's with the aroma of all-American hot dogs.
Shuler was given her 30-day notice after calling the Gaston County Health Department last month to report that another vendor was selling food from the parking lot illegally. The second vendor was there as part of a parking lot promotion sponsored by Valspar Paint and Lowe's.
Officials with Lowe's aren't talking about why she's been cut loose. Neither is anyone from the third-party company that oversaw Shuler's now-forfeited contract.
"I just don't have any comment on the matter," said Paul Spencer of Minneapolis-based Best Vendors Management.
Shuler feels what happened is clear.
"This was a safety violation the people at Lowe's turned their eyes away from and did nothing about," she said. "To me, them getting rid of me was very clear retaliation."
Reporting a violation
Shuler has sold hot dogs outside numerous stores in Gastonia over the years, and she's well known to locals. Since 2002, she said her contract with Best Vendors Management allowed her to be the sole food vendor at the local Lowe's.
On March 20, she was manning her cart when she saw the Valspar Paint demo going on under a tent. She walked over and realized the vendor was violating several health department rules, including selling barbecue and hot dogs without a permit.
She reported it, and health inspectors showed up soon after.
"We try to jump on those things and catch them," said Gaston County Environmental Health Director Curtis Hopper. "We just want to make sure people are legitimate."
The push cart operator said he was hired by a Missouri catering company, according to a health department complaint investigation report by David Littman. He first stated he was "selling" the barbecue and hot dogs, which is illegal without a permit.
"After further questioning, he rescinded the 'selling' statement and said he was giving the food away," Littman wrote in her report.
Littman noted a slew of other violations and told the vendor he would have to throw away the barbecue or take it home. He was allowed to give away the hot dogs.
In addition to looking out for her business, Shuler thought she'd been responsible by preventing someone from potentially getting sick from unregulated food.
"Because I'm educated in food service, I felt that was not only my right, but my duty," she said.
No more dogs
But Shuler said the Lowe's store manager fielded a complaint from Valspar Paint, then criticized her for calling health inspectors and making Lowe's look bad.
A couple of weeks later, Shuler was notified in a certified letter that her contract to sell hot dogs at Lowe's had been canceled. An official at Best Vendors told her Lowe's had given them a directive, she said.
"He said, 'I'm just acting on what Lowe's told me to do, which is fire you,'" she said.
Steve Kirby, the district manager for the Gaston County Lowe's stores, referred questions to the corporate office.
Lowe's spokeswoman Karen Cobb said it wasn't up to them.
"It's really inappropriate for us to comment about this situation," she said. "Food vendors that work at our stores are contracted through third-party contractors who are responsible for them."
The hammer dropped on Shuler just as her busiest period of business was kicking in. She makes more money in April, May and June than during the rest of the year combined.
Shuler said she has one employee, and is a single mother with three children. She contemplated filing a lawsuit, but said she can't afford to invest the time and money to do so.
At this point, she's trying to find new places to do business.
"I'm just upset that they didn't understand I was protecting them from liability involving their customers' health," said Shuler. "I find that irritating."

Chelsea to sign Suarez if Guardiola becomes manager
English football club Chelsea, who are eyeing Luis Suarez, believe that they can land the Anfield star by installing Pep Guardiola as boss, according to a report.
Roman Abramovich wants former Barca chief Guardiola as his next manager and dreams of linking Suarez with Atletico Madrid's Radamel Falcao, that is believed to be heading Chelsea's way in January.
But in the background is Jose Mourinho, who would love to manage Chelsea again and whose daughter Tita has enrolled in a London college, the Daily Mirorr reports.
According to the report, while Mourinho is still on good terms with Abramovich and is keen to return to the Premier League, sensing his time at Real Madrid is up, Chelsea fans may think Guardiola is the better option if he can guarantee Suarez's signature.
Manchester City are also in the Suarez hunt but Chelsea will match their salary offer a possible 50 million pounds once they sell Fernando Torres, the report said.
Guardiola is on a year-long sabbatical but currently there are eight clubs that are interested in him, City included, and he will discuss his next move with advisers at Christmas, the report added. (ANI)

National team competitions
16-18, 17-13, 24-20, 29-29
BCM Gravelines pulled away in the second half and then held on at the death to consign Hapoel Holon to a third straight defeat in the EuroChallenge Last 16, 86-80, putting themselves firmly in the mix at the top of Group J.
Jerome Dyson accounted for more than half of Hapoel's points but it was not enough for their first win in the Last 16.
Gravelines broke a tight game open in the second half, with a 12-2 run turning a one-point deficit into a 54-45 lead when Abdoulaye Mbaye hit a three-pointer with 2:59 left in the third period.
Hapoel - almost entirely dependent on Jerome Dyson and Franklin Hassell to do their scoring - fought back, and the lead was 57-53 when Hassell made a lay-up to start the fourth quarter.
However, Gravelines moved clear once more as Julius Johnson found his range from three-point territory, his second in quick succession making it 69-58.
Hapoel did not give up and once more closed the gap back to four, with Dyson hitting a three and then two free throws which made it 71-67 with 2:35 left.
The fightback was still on, and although Johnson followed his third three-pointer with a pair of free throws, Dyson led another Hapoel charge, and two threes in the space of 10 seconds as time ticked down made it 82-80 with just seven seconds left.
Dwight Buycks went to the line for Gravelines and held his nerve to make both shots with five seconds on the clock, and then a turnover from Lawrence Hill was punished as Cyril Akpomedah settled it with a jump-shot on the buzzer.
Buycks led Gravelines with 15 points while Yannick Bokolo had 14 and Johnson 11.
Dyson poured in 42 points while Hassell collected 24 with 12 rebounds - together accounting for 82.5% of Hapoel's points.
Hill got most of the rest with 13, while also collecting nine rebounds and six assists.
The only other player to register for Hapoel was Dominic Waters, with just one point.
The result leaves Gravelines with a 2-1 record, level with both Paris Levallois and Szolnoki Olaj.
Hapoel Holon head coach Dan Shamir "We came here in a pretty tough situation with only 6 players available, I can't be mad at anybody. We played hard but came out short. We had a long trip to come here and we played two days ago? We did our best, congratulations to Gravelines."
Hapoel Holon player Jerome Dyson "It was a tough game, they made key plays when they had to and we didn't rebound the way we could have. We gave them some easy buckets, it's hard."
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque playe Yannick Bokolo"We found some solutions when they tried to slow the game and Dyson was on fire tonight. We have to keep working now to make sur we'll qualify."
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque head coach Christian Monschau"It's an important victory after our trip to Nancy in the French League. Dyson's awesome performance from long range disturbed our organisation but we made a good job agaisnt a tough team."

Test ID: AMKPK
Amikacin, Peak, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring adequacy of serum concentration during amikacin therapy
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Amikacin is an aminoglycoside used to treat severe blood infections by susceptible strains of gram-negative bacteria. Aminoglycosides induce bacterial death by irreversibly binding bacterial ribosomes to inhibit protein synthesis. Amikacin is minimally absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and thus can been used orally to reduce intestinal flora.
Peak serum concentrations are seen 30 minutes after intravenous infusion, or 60 minutes after intramuscular administration. Serum half-lives in patients with normal renal function are generally 2 to 3 hours. Excretion of aminoglycosides is principally renal, and all aminoglycosides may accumulate in the kidney at 50 to 100 times the serum concentration.
Toxicity can present as dizziness, vertigo, or, if severe, ataxia and a Meniere disease-like syndrome. Auditory toxicity may be manifested by simple tinnitus or any degree of hearing loss, which may be temporary or permanent, and can extend to total irreversible deafness. Nephrotoxicity is most frequently manifested by transient proteinuria or azotemia, which may occasionally be severe. Aminoglycosides also are associated with variable degrees of neuromuscular blockade leading to apnea.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Therapeutic concentration: 20.0-35.0 mcg/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
For conventional (non-pulse) dosing protocols, clinical effects may not be achieved if the peak serum concentration is <20.0 mcg/mL. Toxicity may occur if the peak serum concentration is maintained >35.0 mcg/mL for a prolonged period of time.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Aminoglycosides are excreted primarily by glomerular filtration, thus, the serum half-life will be prolonged and significant accumulation will occur in patients with impaired renal function.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Blotting membranes are available in rolls, precut sheets, or convenient membrane/filter paper sandwiches.
Ideal for:
Bio-Rad's 0.2 µm pore–size nitrocellulose membrane is dense 100% nitrocellulose. Pure nitrocellulose is the most frequently used membrane for the transfer of both proteins and nucleic acids. It is a proven medium for western, Northern, and Southern blotting that produces excellent signal-to-noise results. Bio-Rad nitrocellulose is easy to handle, wets readily with water-based solutions, and resists the brittleness usually associated with nitrocellulose. The 0.2 µm pore size is optimized for transferring nucleic acids and low molecular–weight proteins: the smaller pore size minimizes protein sample loss due to transfer through the membrane.
Features and Benefits
See the Blotting Membrane and Filter Paper Selection Guide for more information on the different membrane types and size selections by gel type.
What is the education discount policy?
For more than 15 years, Bio-Rad has made science education a major priority. To support this effort, the company has implemented a discount policy that allows high school and college teaching laboratories to purchase kits, instruments, reagents, and other equipment at preferred prices.

Building Capacity to Improve Program Evaluation in Child Welfare
Program evaluation plays an important role in CB-funded projects and programs. A wide range of stakeholders rely on program evaluations to answer important questions about things like program design, capacity, collaboration, implementation, participation, service delivery, and effectiveness.
Training & Technical Assistance Network
Changes to the Delivery of Training and Technical Assistance Briefing - JooYeun Chang, the Children's Bureau Associate Commissioner, presents the upcoming changes to the delivery of training and technical assistance available to support states, tribes, territories, and courts.
Our Training and Technical Assistance (T&TA) Network provides states, tribes, courts, and other facets of the child welfare system with assistance in meeting federal requirements, reaching desired outcomes, and using monitoring systems and more to promote safety, permanency, and well-being for children and families. Specifically, the T&TA Network provides T&TA, research, and consultation on an array of federal requirements such as the Child and Family Services Reviews.
The T&TA Network provides both onsite and offsite T&TA. Onsite assistance might cover several weeks or months and comprise multiple visits; offsite assistance might consist, for example, of conducting a policy review or responding to a request for materials in a specific practice area. The Network has an open-door policy for making T&TA requests. Requesters may do any of the following to seek assistance:
- Contact the Training and Technical Assistance Coordination Center (TTACC), which coordinates the Network's T&TA requests: https://www.ttaccportal.org
- Talk directly with one of the T&TA Network members
- Contact an ACF Regional Office (for a list of ACF Regional Offices and the states they serve, visit the ACF website: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/oro)
