Federal employee pay has been a target in cost-cutting efforts by the President and Congress, aided by a public perception of feds as overpaid "fat cats." Claims about public vs. private pay have swung widely - from the Federal Salary Council's data that shows feds are paid 24 percent less than the private sector, to a Cato Institute report that says feds are paid double the private sector. What's the reality? Federal News Radio brings you interviews and analysis on the federal pay debate.
Cost-cutting targets public unions
Tuesday - 1/4/2011, 2:38pm EST
As states face growing budget deficits, elected officials across the country are trying to limit the power of labor unions, particularly the ones representing government employees.
The New York Times reports that in states with Republican majorities, lawmakers are trying to weaken the bargaining power and political influence of unions, including those presenting private sector employees.
The Times reports that many of the proposals to curb union influence may not become law. But whatever does pass will probably reduce the influence of unions in elections.
The attacks on unions come as officials from both political parties look to cut government pay and benefits to lower the deficit.
However, the two-year federal pay freeze does not apply to any increases required by current collective bargaining agreements.
Bob Gilson writes in FedSmith that employees exempt from the pay freeze include the ones in the Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Securities and Exchange Commission, National Credit Union Administration and "a fair number of obscure or small agencies [that] bargain pay for their organized employees."
These are some of the highest paid feds, Gilson writes.
So, did the executive order to freeze pay accidentally let unions slip through the cracks? Or was this in return for unions' support of the Obama administration in the 2008 election?
Gilson writes, "Let's test the logic trail: unions support current President in election, President issues unpopular pay freeze covering everybody but some unionized employees, if they're left out, who will notice, ergo let's do the unions a favor."

Recent Review
Casita was our home.
The area is not without its challenges. English is not widely spoken, and some facilities (i.e. laundry) are elusive. A car is an abolute essential. With a vehicle, many amenities and world class attractions are within easy reach. The local people are patient and helpful, and a visitor needs to be accepting and patient in turn.
We are already considering a return as early as next year. We enjoyed it that much.

Great secluded brach!
They suggests to keep all your windows open so the breeze can come through and it really makes a difference.
You do need to make sure that you stock up well with groceries either in Progreso or Merida since this small town has very little to offer other than then small "tiendas" you find in every corner, which are fine for snacks or drinks but not much real food. There are also a few fish shops in Chuburna where we ended up buying a delicious fried fish thee times during our stay.
This is a great spot to just relax and enjoy miles of white sand beaches where you will seldom run into other people.
A car is a must since there is not much you can get to by walking. Also make sure you bring bug repellent since they get pretty "audacious" at dusk.
Thanks Mauricio and his dad Jose.
Lovely stay at La Casa del Xix
My wife and I enjoyed the comfort's of Mauricio's home. From having breakfast under the Palapa to taking a late night swim in the Mayan pool. We enjoyed being steps from the beach and taking our early morning swims and taking afternoon siesta's in the hammock's. It was quite an peaceful. It was also reassuring to have either Mauricio or his father check up on us to see if we needed anything.
They made you feel like family. We enjoyed sharing a drink of Tequila with both Mauricio and his father upon arrival.
The hardest part was having to leave. But we will be back.

Semi-Western? Well actually Eastern!
View Single Post
New User
Join Date: Aug 2012
Posts: 81
In "My Life and Game," Borg (and/or Gene Scott, his co-author) actually described his forehand grip as being semi-western but many today would probably see it as "strong" eastern or "weak" southwestern. I think that over the last several years there has been a subtle shift in how the grips are identified by instructors. The eastern forehand (traditionally found by "shaking hands" with the racquet or running the flat palm of the hand from the string bed to the handle) seems to have remained the same but all the others have moved over about a half-bevel or so from where they used to be taught. For example, we used to refer to the full western as the "frying pan" grip. Lay the racquet flat on the ground, pick it up like a skillet and, viola, western forehand. Now it seems that move would be seen as creating more of a semi-western grip as it doesn't result in the index knuckle being centered on bevel 5. Same with the eastern backhand. Index knuckle on bevel 1, like Federer, used to be considered an "extreme" eastern - now it's the standard.
It appears to me as though these shifts occurred as a result of the eventual acceptance of mid and oversize racquets as the norm. With an old Kramer Pro Staff one could not get too extreme with their grips (moving the plane of the string bed away from being perpendicular to the court) as it would dramatically increase the likelihood of a mis-hit. As such, the change in hand position from eastern forehand to continental to eastern backhand was described as being much more subtle than it is today.

It's Crazy That The Media Called These 11 Celebrity Women Fat
Ashley Judd fought back this week against critics who called her "puffy." Who else has the media given flack for fat?
1. Ashley Judd
When a number of news outlets called 43-year-old Judd was "puffy" recently, she responded with a thoughtful essay in The Daily Beast in which she said "the insanity has to stop" and called the constant attacks on her and other famous women "misogynistic."
We have a tendency to have some attention deficit problems when it comes to celebrity news, which means we quickly forget the awful, cutting commentary that so often gets made about famous women's bodies.
But if you take a look at ten other examples of some of the flat-out ridiculous things the media has said about women's weight, I think you'll agree with Judd that the "insanity" does "have to stop."

Opinion: A Few Brave Newspapers Endorse Romney Fighting Tide Of Liberal Press
The newspapers that are not endorsing President Barack Obama are extremely brave. They are to be positively recognized for their courage to stand up against the onslaught of the liberal media which refuses to speak in the best interest of the country as the presidential election nears.
Opinion: Selectively Presidential: Obama Chooses To Be Presidential When It's Convenient

By now it's obvious that Obama and his administration did not handle the situation correctly. Rather than taking a presidential stance during the horrendous incident, Obama kept his mind and actions on his 2012 reelection campaign and tried to alter the obvious reasons for the deadly attack.

Hillary Clinton is a glowing example of the heights women are reaching in the United States in recent times. She contradicts the notion thrust forth by President Obama and his political party that there is an alleged-"War on Women".
Opinion: Why Did The White House Take So Long To Admit Libya Attack Was Terrorism?
With Americans watching the nearing of the date September 11, 2012 on the calendar for weeks – if not months – and dreading the stark reality that something disastrous may happen to innocent Americans again, the president and his political cronies refused to believe what happened.

Reports say that he surprised everybody after he gifted the copy of five speeches of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (the great Indian scholar and freedom fighter) to Nikhat. Aamir Khan is a descendant of the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
It is said that when Aamir played the recording at the family get together in Pune, everyone in his family were left emotional and teary-eyed. Well Aamir, your unique intellectual gift might be the best one that you have ever given to your dear sister.

Purpose: To assess the effect of citicoline on visual field rates of progression in patients with progressing glaucoma. Patients and Methods: Forty-one patients with a diagnosis of progressing glaucoma received citicoline in oral solution for 2 years. Included were patients with a disease progression of at least -1 dB/year (at MD, mean deviation) for at least 3 years before entering the study despite controlled intraocular pressure (IOP). Patients were followed with 4 visual field examinations per year for 2 years. Results: At baseline, the mean rate of progression was -1.1 (±0.7) dB/year despite the fact that the IOP had been below 18 mm Hg for at least 3 years. At study inclusion, the mean IOP was 15.5 (±2.6) mm Hg and the mean MD was -9.2 (±6.7) dB in the worst eye. Starting from the first cycle of treatment with citicoline, the mean rate of progression significantly changed to -0.15 (±0.3) dB/year at the end of the study (p = 0.01). Conclusions: This study seems to indicate that supplementation with citicoline might significantly slow down glaucomatous rates of progression.

Ryne Sandberg likely to stay with Phillies as Triple-A manager
Nov 15, 2011, 12:48 PM EDT
For the second straight offseason Ryne Sandberg failed to land a prominent big-league coaching or managing gig, so Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that he's expected to stay with the Phillies as their Triple-A manager.
Gelb writes that the Phillies "are quite fond of Sandberg" and speculates that the Hall of Fame second baseman could be the heir apparent to Charlie Manuel, whose contract expires after the 2013 season.
In the meantime Sandberg will surely take another shot at interviewing for managerial openings next offseason, but given how often he's been passed over sticking with the Phillies might be his best chance anyway.
- kellyb9 - Nov 15, 2011 at 12:49 PM
Glad to see the future manager of the Phillies is still on our farm system.
- Francisco (FC) - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:00 PM
I just Hope Ruben doesn't trade him next year at the deadline… "Ok Ed, we've run out of good farm players, we've pretty much shipped all of our talent to you in the last three years… but I've got one card left to play… I have an excellente HoF player managing my AAA team…"
- CJ - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:03 PM
LOL. fortunately, I think Houston's fresh out of talent we could use. Now, if Wade ends up GM for another team (stop laughing), then it's time to worry.
- paulsdamnblog - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:04 PM
Yeah, but with Ed Wade, that may be enough to get the Astros best 2 players at the major league level.
- CJ - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:10 PM
True. but right now that doesn't say much. Their best 2 players might not crack the lineup. Who would that be? Wandy and Bourjeois (or whatever his name is)? Meh.
- 12strikes - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:01 PM
2012 in Triple A, 2013 as bench coach for the Phillies, and 2014 manager.
I like that!
- paulsdamnblog - Nov 15, 2011 at 1:02 PM
I'd like to see him moved up to the Phillies bench with Charlie this season.
- oikosjeremy - Nov 15, 2011 at 3:22 PM
So in 2014 Sandberg inherits a massive rebuilding project…
- cosanostra71 - Nov 15, 2011 at 3:35 PM
why aren't the Cubs interested?
- blueintown - Nov 15, 2011 at 3:52 PM
- jeremyb91 - Nov 15, 2011 at 9:49 PM
Interesting the Cubs don't want him and he could lead the team who drafted him in two years instead of the team he played as a Hall of Fame second baseman. This kind of reminds me how the Yankees chose experience with Joe Girardi over fan favorite Don Mattingly who is now earning his stripes with the Dodgers. This doesn't mean one day either coach won't return to the their respective teams either, but with experience Sandberg could be a great candidate for the Cubs 5 plus year from now as will Mattingly after the Yankees eventually sour on Girardi similar to how they did to Joe Torre.

From early folk tales to the "penny dreadfuls" of the 19 century, vampires have always fascinated audiences. Bram Stoker published his classic Dracula in 1897. By the 20th century vampires had become such a popular subject that authors began toying with the nocturnal bloodsucking ghoul stereotype found in most gothic fiction. In contemporary fiction we find good vampires, vampire hunters, romantic vampires, funny vampires, and vampires as victims of a virus. Vampire novels tend to come in series, so keep an eye out for titles that are the beginning of a multivolume narrative.
Vampire stories have always involved lots of sex and violence. Parental discretion is advised.
None of these lists are comprehensive. If you need more recommendations, ask a librarian. WE LOVE TO HELP!

Tommy Black ft. Pr1me - U Had What You Had
Artist: Tommy Black
Producer: Tommy Black
Album: The Medkit
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 6 votes )
Previously heard manning the boards on Supernatural, a summer 2011 release featuring the lyrical stylings of Ab-Soul, buzzmaking producer Tommy Black returns to our pages with another fresh leak off his forthcoming full-length. On U Had What You Had, the Nomad, Sweden beatsmith serves up a slow-rolling, bass-driven groove as Long Beach rhymesayer Pr1me (one-half of the Blues Brotherz, with Butch Cassidy) shakes his head at rappers who won't put in the work necessary to earn respect. Digging it? This laid-back cut is just one of many bangers set to appear on Black's The Medkit LP, scheduled for release following the arrival of side project The Nine Lives of Tommy Black.

During the final week of our 2014 session, Burlington's weekly paper Seven Days covered Classical Encounters with a fine article by arts writer Amy Lilly. Read it here:
Renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz will again be our guest in 2015 for a residency from July 14-17. The residency will include opportunities for cello students and chamber ensembles to receive coachings, a presentation on musical entrepreneurship for festival students, a chamber music master class open to the public, and Haimovitz's performances on our July 17 Artist Faculty Series concert.
Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival is "where the future of classical music resides." Enjoy this video, made for Burlington's CBS affiliate during Eugenia Zukerman's week-long visit in July of 2012.
Framed by sweeping views of the Green Mountains and by the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, the eleventh season of the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival will take place on the campus of the University of Vermont from June 29 to July 25, 2015. The 2015 Green Mountain concert series will comprise seven faculty concerts played at the UVM Recital Hall. Past series included works at the heart of the chamber repertoire, unusual pieces such as the 19th century octet of Bruch, and music by fresh compositional voices of our time such as Judith Shatin, Dan Visconti and Gabriela Lena Frank.

G-Technology by Hitachi throws dual drive 8TB RAID Thunderbolt external HDD onto market
It's no surprise that G-Technology by Hitachi has unveiled a new external HDD today that has 8TB of storage inside. Seagate unveiled its own 4TB external yesterday and it's normal for others to come out with similar gear shortly thereafter. The G-Technology drive has some really cool features though and looks like it was meant to coordinate with a Mac style wise. The drive is called the G-RAID and as you might guess, it has a pair of HDDs inside.

"Modi is the representative of the party as the Prime Ministerial candidate. And whenever a dynamic person moves with the support of the party, he creates a very strong sympathy and support for him, because of the track record. So it is not a highly personalized thing, it is a representative wave", said Murli Manohar Joshi, when asked about the wave of Narendra Modi that everyone seems to be talking about. He further went on to say that he did not favour a "straitjacket" model of one particular state as far as development was considered.
Unsurprisingly, the statement spurred a controversy. It would have done so with any other leader but the context of Modi sidelining Joshi to contest elections in Varanasi, not long ago, added some spice to it. It was also insinuated that the delay in manifesto of BJP was due to the differences between Modi and Joshi.
The rift within the party has been spoken about for quite some time now. Precisely since Modi was declared the Campaign head of BJP.
Since taking over as the campaign head, and then being anointed as the Prime Ministerial candidate, Modi has been running a self-obsessed campaign. His speeches are all about mein, mera, mujhko. Even in Gujarat, he is not only the Chief Minister but has many more portfolios like home, industry, information, ports, general administration, science and technology, climate change, Narmada, Kalpsar and all policies. It is technically a one-man show. In a rally in Gujarat, Advani said, 'Ab ki baar, Bhajapa sarkar' but the crowd roared back, 'Ab ki baar, Modi sarkar'.
Aakar Patel said that Modi is a very insecure person and that is why he has not allowed any leader in Gujarat to grow and if he becomes India's PM, the next Chief Minister of Gujarat will be Modi's choice.
Moreover, Five-time sitting MP, Harin Pathak, was replaced by actor Paresh Rawal from Ahmadabad. It would be a handy reminder that Pathak is an Advani loyalist. This brand of politics seems akin to Indira Gandhi. Janardan Thakur, in his book 'Prime Ministers', has written, 'She maneuvered her personal party favourites to become her satraps in the states. The traditional local-level politicians and their mahanths were thrown aside.' One commentator had written, 'she is the only eagle in a political community of twittering sparrows'. Had he seen Modi today, he might have used similar words.
This dictatorial tendency of Modi seems to have made BJP's senior leaders insecure. While it will be a lot tougher for Modi to replicate this in Delhi, his love of power is manifest.
It seems more than just a coincidence that Modi's growth in stature has been directly proportional to the growing rift within the party. BJP's patriarch LK Advani resigned but then relented. His disillusionment came forth on two occasions after that. Jaswant Singh was denied the ticket from Barmer and he went on to say that the party is now split between 'real and fake BJP'. Sushma Swaraj too, explained her sadness over it. She was quite candid on twitter as well, expressing disappointment over the inclusion of BS Sriramulu in the party. Plus, the announcement of Shyama Charan Gupta as BJP's candidate from Allahabad Lok Sabha seat left veteran leader Keshri Nath Tripathi livid.
Modi keeps harping on the theme of uniting the country. However, if he becomes India's PM, the initial task he might have to undertake is uniting his own party, which seems polarized because of the man himself.
The views are writer's own

Life in the Green Lane
The Fall issue of Green America gave several suggestions on how to make your neighborhood more pedestrian friendly. My neighborhood has a lot of dog walkers - so it's fairly foot happy. However, just beyond the neighborhood, a major set of streets pose very dangerous walking situations. Sidewalks are available, but using them is treachorous. In fact, crossing not at the crosswalks is the safest way to go. A long-time resident, KF, told us that the best way to cross is through the medians - and only when we know that there is absolutely no traffic coming by.
Last year, northern Georgia was hit with exorbitant gas prices - up to over $4/gallon. Less cars travelled the streets, and more people took to foot and bikes - it was beautiful! But after the gas prices normalized - it was business as usual. I can't even walk my kid to school which is only a five minute drive from the house - it's too dangerous - no matter how green I would like to be!
A good suggestion from Green America was to drive the speed limit - be a "pace car". I can do that! Actually, with cops setting up surprise speed traps around here - it makes for an even better reason to do this. Driving 35 - not 40 - helps slow traffic down so that people who do walk can feel safer - and it gives me the courage to embark on my own pedestrian (!pun!) adventures this year.
Here is the web-site for more information on taming traffic:
In this area, pedestrian traffic is truly a novelty. If you walk (that is, as a mode of transportation, not as exercise) on the main streets outside the neighborhood, people think that you're either poor or mental. My goal for the next year is to be able to walk to my church each Sunday - to praise our neighborhoods, our community, and our spirits.
***Inspired by: Green America - "Take Back Your Neighborhood"
A green-minded friend subscribed me to Green America (thanks, LD!). It's a wonderful publication filled with practical ways of living sustainably - and they also have a great directory of green companies.

Blessed/cursed with an incorrigible daemon which expresses itself in both the written and audio-visual medium, I am continually honing my skills, and developing my professional relationships to allow this spirit to manifest the best results. Currently at Troika Imagineering Works, I enjoy various copy-writing tasks, often requiring lateral, creative thinking. Producing animated content at Bugbox was a lesson in team management, and completing highly detailed job on brief and budget. Quirk was an education in the full spectrum of digital marketing, while practicing and learning WebPR on the job.

With the exception of Erin Burnett and Anderson Cooper it's easy to see why CNN is in the toilet. pMSNBC is a joke and they know it. They're nothing but the propaganda arm of the DNC. I guess NBC feels it's worth keeping them on the air so they can push the agenda that NBC wishes they could. snerd05-17-2012, 18:46Dinosaur Media Death Watch vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

Muammar Qadhafi's wife and three of his children fled Libya to neighbouring Algeria on Monday, firm evidence that the long time leader has lost his grip on the country.
Mr. Qadhafi's whereabouts were still unknown and rebels are worried that if he remains in Libya, it will stoke more violence. In Washington, the Obama administration said it has no indication Mr. Qadhafi has left the country.
Rebels also said one of Mr. Qadhafi's sons, elite military commander Khamis, was probably killed in battle.
The Algerian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Mr. Qadhafi's wife Safia, his sons Hannibal and Mohammed, and his daughter Aisha entered the country across the land border. It said Algerian authorities have informed the United Nations Secretary General, the President of the U.N. Security Council, and the head of the Libyan rebels transitional leadership council.
Ahmed Jibril, an aide to rebel National Transitional Council head Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said officials would "demand that Algerian authorities hand them over to Libya to be tried before Libyan courts."
Mr. Qadhafi's children played important roles in Libya's military and economic life. Mr. Hannibal headed the maritime transport company; Mr. Mohammed the national Olympic committee. Ms. Aisha, a lawyer, helped in the defence of toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the trial that led to his hanging.
Ahmed Bani, military spokesman of the council, said he was not surprised to hear Algeria had welcomed Mr. Qadhafi's family. Throughout the six-month Libyan uprising, rebels have accused Algeria of providing Mr. Qadhafi with mercenaries to repress the revolt.

PETALING JAYA: The Royal Malaysian Navy experienced its first combat in the new year when its Fennec helicopter drove off two pirate skiffs pursuing Indian crude oil tanker MT Abul Kalam Azad in the dangerous pirate-infested Gulf of Aden.
KD Sri Inderasakti commanding officer Kapt Mohamad Adib Abdul Samad received a distress call at 6.30am (local time) from the Indian vessel.
The vessel, with 40 crew members, was heading for the Suez Canal with a full load of crude oil, said RMN Fleet Operations Commander vice-admiral Datuk Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badaruddin yesterday.
During the 40-minute combat, seven pirates on board the two skiffs were shooting rapidly at the tanker damaging the bridge, ship quarters and the radar, he said.
"It was a tense morning," he said. "Sri Inderasakti received the SOS call from the Abul Kalam Azad about 15 nautical miles away at the time," he added.
In rapid response, Kapt Mohamad Adib dispatched the ship-borne Fennec helicopter gunship armed with twin general purpose machine guns and an elite Naval Special Forces (Paskal) airborne sniper.
"The Abul Kalam Azad was
also advised to make its way toward our ship for better protection.
Sri Inderasakti too had turned
and was heading to the scene by then," Ahmad Kamarulzaman
The Fennec, piloted by Leftenan Muliadi Mohd Noor reached the scene where the two skiffs were chasing the tanker and shooting at it with assault rifles.
A Saudi Arabian navy vessel HMS Al Dammam, believed to be part of the European Union's Coalition Task Force 150, had also dispatched its own Dauphin helicopter gunship at this point, he added.
Both ships took turns to deter the pirates while giving the oil tanker cover, he said, adding that the skiffs then escaped south-east.
The vessel then headed west, escorted by the Al Dammam.
The encounter was the second time the Sri Inderasakti helped to foil hijack attempts by pirates in the gulf, the first one being the Chinese crane vessel Zhenhua 4 on Dec 18.
