Estrada, old Cabinet discuss new job
But new mayor does not plan to appoint them to any post
Insisting the city is in a mess, former President and Manila Mayor-elect Joseph "Erap" Estrada has assembled a powerhouse lineup of former Cabinet members to help generate revenues for the supposedly cash-strapped local government.
Estrada, who defeated incumbent Mayor Alfredo Lim in the last election, sat down with members of his old economic team over lunch at Mandarin Hotel in Makati City on Wednesday.
With him were his former Finance Secretary Jose Pardo, former Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno, former Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Felipe Medalla and former National Treasurer Leonor Briones.
"I decided to consult my old team to help me out in Manila," he told the INQUIRER. "They are people of competence and unquestionable integrity."
Estrada clarified that he was not about to appoint any of them to a post, saying they would just provide suggestions on how Manila could generate more revenues during his three-year term.
"So much is expected of me but it's difficult to start a project without funds," he said. "So I need their ideas too."
Throughout the campaign, Estrada had insisted that Manila was in financial dire straits with a deficit of more than P3 billion, an allegation denied by Lim's camp.
Among the incoming mayor's plans to raise funds was to reassess pieces of real property and speed up the issuance of business permits.
"I want permits to be released within 72 hours so that investors would feel more welcome in Manila," he said.
Estrada added that he would also roll out a comprehensive urban renewal plan for Manila, a project that would address problems in sanitation, environment and crime.
He said he was still forming his "transition team" that would coordinate with the outgoing administration. Asked if he would bring his trusted aides in San Juan to Manila, he replied: "Very few."

The first thing you thought was: 'oh God no' they would all agree and the world would end before your very eyes.
France and England first, then Russia, and lastly Japan.
But to your surprise Francis' suggestion was met with dissonance
"No! Not on Christmas" "Yeah let's just open presents now"
You sighed with relief and relaxed next to your boyfriend of three years, Tino.
"But whose presents should we open first?" Alfred piped up staring at a huge package with his name on it.
"How about, we set the presents up in a circle and spin a bottle in the middle?" Francis suggested.
Ok you had to admit, that was pretty brilliant. Everyone agreed and got up to set up the circle.
When finished you flopped down in the middle of the largest couches, to your surprise both Alfred and Francis dived to occupy the spaces taking up either side of you.

So close… yet so far. You reflected on the events that had occurred a mere few seconds ago…
You frowned, staring at the bottle. Kneeling down you gently took it in your grasp and spun it. Mathias glanced around "hey where's Emil?" he shouted just as the bottle slowed to point at him.
"He's not getting out of this one! Come on guys lets go get him" the circle dissolved as you spluttered and protested.
Your last chance had slipped out of your hands. "What a troll" you muttered reaching the top of the five story mansion to be confronted with an old door.

By Dave Razzano, Playmaker Correspondent
Baltimore ( C )
DC Jimmy Smith is a "character risk" with loads of talent. WO's Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss will help the Ravens pass attack. DB Chykie Brown could surprise as a DS/DC combo player. DT Pernell McPhee is an underachiever with potential.
Buffalo ( B )
Love the idea of taking three Defensive players right out of the gate. DT Marcell Dareus will pay immediate dividends. Thought DC Aaron Williams was overrated but can't have enough DC depth. OT Chris Hairston and RB Johnny White could both surprise as mid round picks.
Cincinnati ( B )
WO A. J. Green is a dynamite receiver. QB Andy Dalton should develop nicely under new Offensive Coordinator Jay Gruden. He is both efficient and accurate with the look of a winner. LB Dontay Moch should impact as a Nickel rusher with his 4.35 speed.
Cleveland ( B )
Taking DT Phil Taylor was a tad risky due to his lazy streaks. DE Jabaal Sheard has a motor and will help the pass rush. WO Greg Little is a solid pick who should help Colt McCoy's progress. FB Owen Marecic is an outstanding all around player who will bring energy. OT Jason Pinkston has starter ability and looks like a late steal.
Denver ( A )
LB Von Miller will help the pass rush but could be a liability in the run game. DS Rahim Moore is a ball hawk who could start as a rookie. OG Orlando Franklin plays with a nasty streak. TE Julius Thomas has loads of upside. DS Quinton Carter brings a physical demeanor. His Oklahoma teammate DE Jeremy Beal looks like a late round find.
Houston ( A )
With one of the NFL's most explosive offenses, the Texans were smart to add defense early. Their first four picks, DE J J Watt, LB Brooks Reed, DC Brandon Harris and DC Rashad Carmichael could all become rookie starters. Late pick OT Derek Newton is an excellent developmental prospect.
Indianapolis ( B )
OT Anthony Castonzo gives Colts a solid starter at a crucial position. OT Ben Ijalana will take some time to develop. DT Drake Nevis is a high motor, productive player who will help early. RB Delone Carter adds quickness to the backfield.
Jacksonville – ( B )
The obvious key to this draft is Blaine Gabbert, who the Jags traded up to get as their QB of the future. I am not a big Gabbert fan. OL Will Rackley adds quality and versatility to a young offensive line. WO Cecil Shorts was dominant at the small college level, amassing over 60 career TD grabs. DC Rod Issac is a nice sleeper worth following.
Kansas City ( A )
The Chiefs 1st pick WO Jon Baldwin is talented but comes with "character" issues. OC Rodney Hudson should start as a rookie. Middle round picks DE Allen Bailey and DC Jalil Brown are great values. QB Ricky Stanzi brings needed insurance at the game's most critical position.
Miami ( D )
OC Mike Pouncey is solid but the Dolphins still lack a quality QB. The next two picks of RB Dan Thomas and WO Edmund Gates look like back-up types. Late round DC Jimmy Wilson will contribute early on special teams.
New England ( A )
OT Nate Solder is outstanding and 2nd round pick DC Ras-I-Dowling is a first round talent who fell some due to injuries. RB's Shane Vereen and Steven Ridley give QB Tom Brady more weapons for an explosive offense. QB Ryan Mallett is a good value pick in the 3rd round.
New York Jets ( B )
Drafting Massive DT's with the first two picks is smart. Muhammed Wilkerson and Kenrick Ellis should bolster one of the league's top defenses. RB Bilal Powell is a productive "under the radar" type who will add depth. The sure handed WO Jeremy Kerley is another good mid round value.
Oakland ( C )
I like the Raiders 2nd round pick OC Stefen Wisniewski. Their next pick of DC Demarcus Van Dyke was a forty yard dash reach who didn't even start in college. DC Chimdi Chekwa and RB Taiwan Jones are great mid round values. Tall WO David Ausberry could be a 7th round steal after being underutilized at USC.
Pittsburgh ( A )
Getting solid starting linemen in DE Cam Heyward and OT Marcus Gilbert show why the rich get richer. I felt DC Curtis Brown was arguably the best cover guy in the draft and a 3rd round steal. LB Chris Carter could be a 5th round gem.
San Diego ( A )
The Chargers drafted smart, starting with DT Corey Liuget, who will start early, and 2nd round pick Marcus Gilchrist who is both fast and athletic in coverage. Mid round picks WO Vincent Brown and DC Shareece Wright are two of my favorite players in the entire draft and should contribute early.
Seattle ( D )
I thought the Hawks reached a bit for OT James Carpenter in the first, especially needing help on defense and at QB. Another offensive lineman was added in OG John Moffitt, who will add depth. LB K. J. Wright will compete for playing time at OLB. DS Mark Legree had 22 picks in college and should boost the special teams in year one.
Tennessee ( A )
The Titans got their QB of the future in Jake Locker, who is outstanding both on/off the field. LB Akeem Ayers needs to be more consistent but has big play potential. 3rd round pick DT Jurell Casey is an absolute steal and makes this one of the league's better drafts. 5th round DT Karl Klug brings energy and toughness.
Arizona ( A )
The Cards got the best DB in the draft in Pat Peterson as well as the best RB in 2nd round pick Ryan Williams. TE Rob Housler gives the team a speedster at TE. I thought DE Sam Acho was a fourth round steal as one of the better pure pass rushers in the draft. LB Quan Sturdivant was an excellent value pick in the 6th round.
Atlanta ( D )
Though Julio Jones is very talented, I was shocked the Falcons gave up four picks to move up for a WO. Productive LB Akeem Dent was a solid pick. RB Jaquizz Rodgers is talented but extremely tiny at 5'6". OG Andrew Jackson can be a quality back-up with added weight.
Carolina ( D )
The Cam Newton pick will define this draft. I thought he was a major reach and picked purely on potential, which is extremely risky at the top of the draft. After that, it looks like a bunch of back-ups, the best being mid round pick DT Sione Fua and late round grab LB Lawrence Wilson.
Chicago ( D )
The Bears landed a starting ROT in 6'7" Gabe Carimi. The next two picks I thought were reaches, DT Stephen Paea and DS Chris Conte. 5th Round pick QB Nate Enderle has one of the best arms in the draft and could develop nicely.
Dallas ( C )
The extremely athletic OT Tyron Smith could become a great LOT in time. LB Bruce Carter needs to play more physical. RB Demarco Murray is a home run threat but a finesse type. WO Dwayne Harris could surprise, as well as late round gem DC Josh Thomas, who brings a physical demeanor to the Cowboys.
Detroit ( D )
Though not entirely sold on the inconsistent Nick Fairley, I do like the idea of taking defensive linemen early. Thought they should stick with defense but went for WO Titus Young and RB Mikel Leshoure in the 2nd. 7th round pick OT Johnny Culbreath is a developmental type with some potential as a back up only.
Green Bay ( A )
Again, the rich get richer. OT Derek Sherrod is a great value in late one. Randall Cobb is another exciting WO for an explosive offense. LB D J Smith is one of my favorites after amassing over 500 tackles in college. LB Ricky Elmore will fit perfectly as a 3-4 OLB projection.
Minnesota ( B )
It appears the Vikings wanted Jake Locker but settled for Christian Ponder who is talented as a West Coast offense type. Kyle Rudolph is the Vikings TE of the future and a solid pick. Mid round picks DC Brandon Burton and OC Brandon Fusco could both surprise. Late rounder DE Deandre Reed has a good motor and tons of potential and WO Steve Burton was one of the more productive receivers in all of college football the last few years.
New Orleans ( B )
DE Cam Jordan is an instant starter and a solid player in both phases. RB Mark Ingram gives the Saints a big back who can wear down defenses. LB Martez Wilson is a fringe type who "times" a lot faster than he plays. DC Johnny Patrick and DE Greg Romeus are both good late values.
New York Giants ( A )
Not crazy about DC Prince Amukamara but the Giants hit "home runs" after that. DT Marvin Austin should be disruptive early. WO Jerrell Jernigan is explosive on the outside and can also return. Gigantic and athletic OT James Brewer is a 4th round steal who could become a 10 year starter. Like former late round pick Ahmad Bradshaw, the Giants might have found another 7th round running gem in Da'rel Scott.
Philadelphia ( A )
Another quality draft for the Eagles. OG Danny Watkins is solid. DS Jaiwquan Jarrett is a big hitter. DC Curtis Marsh is a speed demon. LB Casey Matthews brings great value in the 4th. PK Alex Henery is one of the better kickers to come out recently. 5th Round picks RB Dion Lewis and OG Julian Vandervelde are both highly productive. LB's Brian Rolle and Greg Lloyd both bring nasty demeanors and 7th rounder Stanley Havili was the best all around FB in the draft.
San Francisco ( C )
Wasn't crazy about OB projection Aldon Smith in the early first round. QB Colin Kaepernick has big time upside and will be the 49ers QB of the future. DC Chris Culliver was a "work out" reach in the 3rd. I Love 4th round pick RB Kendall Hunter who should excite fans in year one and was an absolute steal. Mid round WO Ron Johnson is an excellent route runner with nice hands.
St Louis ( B )
Taking DE Robert Quinn in the 1st round was a great move. TE Lance Kendricks was a reach in the 2nd. Taking two of my favorite WO's back to back, Austin Pettis in 3rd followed by Greg Salas in the 4th round give QB Sam Bradford some needed weapons. Late round LB Jabara Williams brings 4.5 speed and over 500 career tackles to the Rams and could challenge for play time in year one.
Tampa Bay ( A )
I consider this the NFL's best overall draft. Adding two top 10 defensive linemen in one draft is amazing. DE Adrian Clayborn is outstanding and DE Da'Quan Bowers slid all the way to the middle of the 2nd due to medical concerns. Solid LB Mason adreFoster is versatile, TE Luke Stocker is productive as both blocker and receiver and DS Ahmad Black hits with authority. Late round RB Allen Bradford was one of my most underrated players in this draft.
Washington ( B )
DE Ryan Kerrigan has a non-stop motor and will likely convert to OLB in the Skins 3-4 front. WOs Hankerson, Paul and Robinson give the passing attack a needed boost. RBs Roy Helu and Evan Royster bring both size and versatility. DC Brandyn Thompson was overlooked a bit and is a solid cover guy with ball skills. Late round OG Maurice Hurt from Florida could be a steal.

Ukraine rebels, flattops and battlewagons, ISIS-hunting and Desert Storm nukes: Nine new Command scenarios available
Miguel Molina has posted a new revision of the Command community scenario pack, the compendium of Command scenarios crafted by the user community. The new release contains nine brand-new scenarios:
- They Came From The Museum, 2015: Soviet/Russian tactical aircraft have a long history of 'inexplicably' showing up in various conflicts under the hands of 'rebel', 'advisor' and otherwise non-official pilots. This scenario assumes that the "little green men" in Ukraine take this strong tradition one step further and piece together a hodgepodge air force from various odd sources, including a number of exhibits from the Luhansk Air Museum. How will these Cold War cast-offs and their mysterious pilots fare against Ukrainian air defences?
- The Battle of Langkawi, 1973: By 1973, the communist insurgency that erupted in Malaysia has taken control of most of the state of Kedah. They have captured a number of artillery pieces, armored cars, and other military equipment, including a number of aircraft. An international coalition, led by the UK, and including forces from Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore are assisting Malaysia in its fight against the insurgents. However, the Soviet Union, China, India, North Korea, and Cuba have all recognized the self-declared People's Republic of Kedah – and will actively assist it against blockades of its ports in the Kedah region, including the island of Langkawi.
- The Clash Of Titans II, 2018: India started the year with intensive naval activity in both Indian Ocean and Arabian sea. The brief Indian incursion into littoral waters of French island Reunion was condemned by French diplomacy. Further diplomatic tension eventually resulted in a double embargo between France and India. A week ago, the French CVBG led by the Charles De Gaulle CV left Toulon naval base and headed to Suez. INS Vikramaditya with its escorts was ordered to head towards the Gulf Of Aden. Politics will continue by other means from now on.
- Closing the Kurile Gap (The War That Never Was) – US, 1989: The Soviet Pacific Fleet would have faced a difficult problem with geography if the Cold War ever went hot. Their largest base, Vladivostok, faces the Sea of Japan. Any units transiting to the Pacific either need to pass through the narrow Tsushima Strait, flanked by likely-hostile South Korea and Japan, or they need to head northwest and pass through the disputed Kurile Islands. The other major Soviet naval base, Petropavlovsk, opens to the Pacific. However, it is located at the end of the remote Kamchatka peninsula and has long, vulnerable supply lines. This scenario examines the Soviet Pacific Fleet's ability to break out through the Kuriles, and the US Navy's role in plugging the gap.
- Closing the Kurile Gap (The War That Never Was) – USSR, 1989: The Soviet side of the above scenario.
- Those Who Face Death, 2014: In this hypothetical "from the headlines" scenario ISIS has captured much more intact military equipment from the Iraqi and Syrian Armies; they also have the technical capabilities to put it to use. Expect to see American, Iraqi, Syrian, Iranian military equipment. You are hunting a convoy of artillery and APCs heading to Mosul from the south before turning west towards the Yazidi camp at Mount Sinjar. You will need to airdrop supplies and parachutists to the Yazidi camp to achieve success. You are sending British and American aircraft from bases in Turkey, Kuwait, and Cyprus.
- Log Bridge, 1989: World War III has been raging. The fighting over Keflavik has been so heavy that what remains of the airfield, currently held by NATO, is unusable. At the same time, the fighting in Europe has pl aced demands upon available resources that preclude either side sending long range aircraft to attack or defend Iceland. The fate of Iceland will therefore be decided by a decisive surface battle. The big guns are coming out – literally.
- Nuclear Storm, 1991: Desert Storm is underway, and the unthinkable has happened: Saddam's forces have launched chemical attacks on coalition troops, with significant casualties. Now a retaliation is in order – to illustrate within limits that some lines are not to be crossed.
- No Time for Mischief, 1995: Mischief Reef is in a disputed area of the South China Sea. In 1995, China angered the Philippines by occupying the reef and constructing structures on it, ostensibly as shelters for fishermen. In history, the matter did not escalate into violent confrontation. This scenario assumes the government of the Philippines has taken a more aggressive approach, assuming that if worst comes to worst they will be backed up by the United States.
As always, the community scenario pack is available for download at the WarfareSims download section: http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876

Covert sub ops, water wars, nuclear feints and Chinese disarming strike: Five new Command scenarios available
Miguel Molina has posted a new revision of the Command community scenario pack, the compendium of Command scenarios crafted by the user community. The new release contains all existing scenarios updated to the latest databases accompanying the v1.07 release, plus five brand-new scenarios:
- Probe of Feint, 1963: As Red China edges closer to a usable nuclear weapon, many actors, including the United States, watch with increasing alarm. Eventually pre-emptive action is decided upon – but in a way that will not be obvious…
- Water Wars, 2017: For over 100 years Bolivia has tried to reacquire territory lost to Chile in a series of conflicts in the late 19th century, particularly the valuable province and port of Antofagasta, which provides access to the Pacific. In December of 2015 the ICJ delivered a shocking verdict that Chile had illegally acquired the land from Bolivia and must provide them sovereign access to the sea in the form of a "national corridor" some 20kms wide. Chile immediately responded negatively. In retaliation, Bolivia built a dam diverting the Silala river, a waterway vital to Chilean economy. The matter will no longer be settled on the courts or negotiating tables…
- Angamos Goes The Distance, 1980: A Peruvian submarine must conduct a covert extraction of Peruvian government personnel (i.e. spies) from Chile. The Chilean navy will shoot unidentified intruders first and ask questions later.
- Andaman Sea Clash, 2005: In 2004, tensions between Thailand and Myanmar increased. During the summer of that year, a Thai fishing boat was sunk by a Burmese patrol boat. Seven months later tensions have remained high and Thailand has started to conduct regular patrols in the Andaman Sea to protect Thai fishing boats. Myanmar has not protested this action, but has made it clear that it will not tolerate Thai fishing boats violating its territorial waters or its protected fisheries.
- Operation Fei Lian, 2019: The baloon is going up in the Korean peninsula – but it's not the conflict that everyone planned and prepared for. Radical elements of the North Korean military are attempting a coup, and back-channel talks with the Chinese leadership lead to Beijing decide to support the rebels. As the General in command of the Shenyang military district, you are ordered to destroy the North Korean air force as well as the NK "strategic" nuclear forces, using the PLAAF assets in your command.

Lucky Seven: Command v1.07 has been released
So, the cat is officially out of the bag. The full release notes are available here.
We've talked extensively about the significant enhancements that the new v1.07 update brings to Command, but here's a quick refresher on the biggies:
- Weapon Release Authorization (WRA): All the endless arguments about how the AI pilots should double-tap MiG-29s while using cheap ammo against easy targets (etc. etc. etc.) are officially over. You are now in complete control. So no excuses when the enemy whips you
- Mission Editor 2.0: Putting up a complex multi-group, multi-axis strike package is now easier than ever. The enemy AI may also use this against you ;). Plus a lot more customization options for all mission types.
- Scenario Attachments (aka auto-bundling): Hesitant to spice up your scenario with map overlays etc. because so far it required manual action by the player? No more. Map graphics, custom Lua scripts, import files and even more attachment types coming soon. Get cracking!
Some smaller but also significant bits in this release as well:
- Tons of UI enhancements such as discrete range rings for anti-ship and land-attack weapons, even more hotkeys, redesigned manual weapon allocation window, contact filter-out (even more map declutter) and much more.
- Lots and lots of additional Lua scripts.
- Better performance on scenarios that use zones (ie. most scens out there).
- Massive overhaul of AAW missile endgame logic; target speed matters more, and the evasion bonus must now be earned instead of automatically granted.
- Bigger effect of crew proficiency on damage control & underway repairs (remember the Shinano?)
- Improvements to submarine battery recharge rates.
Plus of course the customary mile-long list of small fixes, DB additions and tweaks.
And we're not over yet…
New in v1.07: Scenario Attachments (a.k.a. auto-bundling)
Ever since Command's initial release, the players have been asking us for an automated, reasonably idiot-proof way of bundling various content items (primarily map overlays but also other types) together with their scenarios and have them referenced correctly regardless of the scen file's actual location.
Scenario Attachments, a.k.a. auto-bundling, is our response to this request. It is one of the flagship new features of the v1.07 update.
Scenario attachments are "things" (anything from a single file to a massive directory tree) that you can provide as attachments to a scenario (similar to attaching a file to an email message) and then use them via a new Lua command "ScenEdit_UseAttachment". What exactly happens when you use them obviously depends on the attachment type. When a scenario packaged with attachments is loaded, its attachments are transparently copied to the local repository and can then be re-used on any other scenario (much like .inst files). The use of a single-point repository solves the "I moved my scen file around and now it cannot find its attachments" problem (this may be familiar to anyone who moves saved web pages around in the file system without their accompanied images etc.).
Here is a concrete example:
a) Author-A constructs a scenario and wishes to enrich it with imagery of an area. From the "Editor" menu, he selects "Scenario Attachments". This brings up a window listing the attachments currently associated with the scenario:
Here we see we can construct a new attachment, use an existing one or modify (rename/delete) any already on the repository. Clicking on the "Create new of type: [...]" will prompt us to locate the source material for the attachment, in this case a geo-referenced image file (map overlay). Clicking on "use existing" brings up another window which lists all attachments already available on the local repository:
Selecting the desired attachment and clicking on "Use selected" will add the attachment to the scenario.
We can then select, from the "Editor" menu, the command "Package scenario for distribution". A file-dialog will pop up to prompt us for where to save the packaged scenario file. The "packaging" is essentially the process of properly bundling the scenario with the selected attachments on a single zip file, so that they can be correctly identified and loaded (automatically) by end users.
Author-A then distributes the bundled scenario as usual. User-A unzips the bundle file to "\Scenarios" (or anywhere else) and loads up the scenario. Under the hood, the program sees the unzipped "attachments" folder side-by-side with the scenario file and automatically copies the attachments (each one on its dedicated folder, uniquely identified with a GUID) to the user's local repository.
To use a referenced attachment, you can use the new Lua command "ScenEdit_UseAttachment", which accepts either an attachment's name or its GUID. So in this case, by bundling an image overlay to a scenario and creating an "on scen load" event that triggers its use, we can display map-overlay images to the end user without any manual action of his own.
Of course this infrastructure is meant to eventually exploit multiple attachment types, ranging from media files (audio, video etc.) to pre-fab Lua scripts, arbitrary text or binary files etc.

We started just above holy moly levels this morning, with a low temperature in the upper 20s.
With ample sunshine, we should warm up to a "seasonably cool" high in the 50s.
As we get closer to the weekend, a few days in the 60s are possible, but we're also looking at a major cool down next week.
As of right now, Tuesday could be a rough day, with temperatures plummeting colder and colder throughout the day, with mixed precipitation possible. Needless to say, we'll keep an eye on Tuesday as we get closer to it.

FAA suspends sleeping controllers, adds more staff
RENO, Nev. Federal officials are adding a second overnight air traffic controller at more than two dozen airports around the country, reacting swiftly after a sleeping controller in Reno forced a medical flight to land unaided.
The arrival at 2 a.m. Wednesday at Reno-Tahoe International Airport followed several other recent incidents of controllers dozing on their shifts.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the controller was out of communication for about 16 minutes when the aircraft carrying at least three people was landing. No injuries were reported.
"This is absolutely unacceptable," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. "The American public trusts us to run a safe system. Safety is our No. 1 priority and I am committed to working 24/7 until these problems are corrected."
It was the second case this week of a controller being suspended for sleeping on the job. A controller at Boeing Field-King County International in Seattle fell asleep during his morning shift on Monday and was suspended, FAA said. He was already facing disciplinary action for sleeping on two separate occasions during an early evening shift in January, the agency said.
The latest cases follow three previously disclosed incidents in which controllers have been suspended, including two episodes of controllers sleeping on duty.
The FAA said Wednesday it was adding a second controller to work the overnight hours at 26 airports and a radar facility.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association has warned against putting controllers alone on shifts and assigning tiring work schedules.
At most airport towers, there's no bathroom in the cab - the room on the top of the tower. With only one controller on duty, the position has to go unattended at times if the controller needs to use a bathroom. It's common for the nearest bathroom to be located down a flight of stairs from the cab.
Two controllers at the airport in Lubbock, Texas, were suspended for an incident in the early morning hours of March 29, the agency said. In that instance, a controller in Fort Worth had to try repeatedly to raise the Lubbock controllers in order to hand off control of an inbound aircraft. The controllers also failed to hand off a plane departing Lubbock to the Fort Worth radar center, FAA said.
"Air traffic controllers are responsible for making sure aircraft safely reach their destinations. We absolutely cannot and will not tolerate sleeping on the job," FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt said in a statement Wednesday.
Babbitt and Paul Rinaldi, the president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the union that represents FAA's more than 15,000 controllers, will be visiting airports and radar facilities around the country next week "to reinforce the need for all air traffic personnel to adhere to the highest professional standards," FAA said in a statement.
The FAA last month put two controllers on duty during the midnight shift at the Reno-Tahoe airport but went back to one controller several days later after implementing new procedures, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said. Reno is one of the airports that will now get a second controller.

Watched most of a webinar on how to get women just out of curiosity, and of course it was a sales pitch. Read another list of 10 ways to get women, again out of curiosity, and quite frankly if it's that fucking difficult to find someone I think I'll just live alone. Yeah, I'm done. Been done. Not really news.
Replaced my car battery because for 3 days in the past week my car wouldn't start. Exciting right? Not really, but I learned how to install the battery on my car by watching the guy at autozone do it. It's relatively simple in my car, just undoing a couple screws and lifting it out and reversing the process for installation. Even more exciting right?
Downloaded rhinestone eyes and melancholy hill from the Gorillaz today. Good songs. I like melancholy hill better though. Just has the mellow weird comforting vibe I like in a lot of the music I listen to.
Watched religulous today. Funny flick despite it's offensiveness. It made a lot of religious people look silly, as well as a member of senate, one of the best quotes being "You don't have to pass and IQ test to get into the senate" or something like that, resulting in a reeeeeally stupid look from the utterer. He also spouted out a bunch of words that didn't make sense, such as the literacy (referring to how literal the bible was) and another word I can't recall that was used inappropriately as well. No wonder the country is going to shit. We have retards running out government. DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Oh brother.
Blah thats enough babbling for now methinks.

Suresh is suffering from the effects of poisoning from iron bullets, and the poisoning seems to be getting worse instead of better. He is grateful for Thane's help, but also wary, as humans don't much appreciate the elves' aloofness. What is more, the news of his failure to protect a squad of human soldiers paints him as a traitor. Yet Thane's nearness stirs the dormant desire in his body, and in its wake, powerful magic.
When Suresh's identity is revealed, Thane must decide whether he believes in the elf and questions his nascent affection. Suresh, meanwhile, must discover who threatens his life and decipher his feelings for this handsome, fearless human who risks himself repeatedly to save him.
Unfortunately, time is running short. Unless they trust each other, they might not have a chance at a future at all...

She Didn't Sleep with Matt Lauer, But She Was a Man
"I feel that my privacy and personal space has been invaded," Alexis said last week, before any of the past-probing hit the headlines.
"This is all made up," Lauer plainly said of the adultery rumors, which began with a National Enquirer report and a slew of "reliable source" comments across gossip blogs. HollywoodScoop dedicated a full "exclusive" to the affair both Lauer and Houston have now denied.
A friend of Houston's told the Post she had gender-reassignment surgery three years ago, paid for by the one-time cross-dresser's lover.
"[Alexis] told me they got married in Niagara Falls, but they have since separated," the source said.
Alexis released a demo CD in 2001 titled 'All's Well,' and Glasgow's Daily Record missed the memo that she was not related to Whitney Houston after all. "Whitney Houston's pop crown is under threat -- from her own cousin," the Scottish paper wrote. "Wellington Houston, 23, is being hailed as the next big thing in the US. But although Whitney sings on his demo CD, Wellington doesn't want to cash in on his famous family. He said, 'All I want from my family are good wishes.'"

Some straight men really enjoy transexuals it is a well known fact. It was interesting to see a recent photo of Matt's wife in the media, and I said at the time, wow her face looks like a dude. Nothing wrong with that mind you, only wish Matt and his life the best.

These are the very kinds of people, that make me stay alone.
I would rather have along lasting relationship with a murderer, then to have to sit next to a liar, for five minutes. A murderer can tell you why he killed. It wont be a good excuse, but at least he can talk about it.
A liar cant, and wont talk about his lying ways. Because the lies are only to benifit himself. He cant say that, it would make him look badly.
I will like the murderer much better.
Matt didnt touch that, its just another liar trying to make a easy buck. And to hel. with what ever it may do to Matts life. Theres a specaial place in he.. for these people.

Oh stop with the religious Bible garbage. The Bible also says all divorced people should be stoned to death and adulterers as well, but I don't hear the Bible thumpers advocating that, do we? And how about fathers selling off their daughters into slavery? That's in the Bible too but I don't hear anyone advocating that, either! BURN YOUR BIBLES! They are JUNK!

This was as much for me as the cat
posted 7 years ago
Like some other reviewers have mentioned, I also do not like George W and think it is hilarious to watch the cats play with this toy. They loved at first, but lost interest quickly. I did see someone had dragged the toy out just today.
Pros: it is funny, catnip
Cons: catnip seems to lose effectiveness

I was so excited to buy this toy! Grace did not disappoint me; she wrestles with it for hours! She loves when I throw it, so she can chase after it. It is very durable and great entertainment for both cat and owner!
Pros: Cat loves to carry Dubya in her mouth!
Cons: None

The cat's kind of politics!

This toy is hysterical. It has funny sayings all over it and is filled with catnip. My cat likes to bite and wrestle with it.
Pros: My cat loves to chew on the President, and wrestle with him.
Cons: The catnip seems to wear off after a while.

Following on from the great success of the Glendale 5 tent, Outwell now introduces the larger Glendale 7 Tent. As the name suggests, the Glendale 7 sleeps 7 people and features the new sleek tunnel design plus 'Rain-Safe' front pole over the doorway.
At first glance the Glendale 7 tent may look like any other tunnel tent but in actuality it has a a hybrid frame - a combination of steel and Durawrap fibreglass poles - that allows for its generous proportions while also keeping the weight and bulkiness of the tent to a minimum.
The Outwell Glendale 7 is essentially a five room tunnel tent with a versatile 2+3+2 berth sleeping compartment – which can be opened up to a full 7-person bedroom - a 5+2 arrangement or part of the inner removed completely if not in use. The main living space measures a very generous 4.3x2.8m and features a fully sewn-in groundsheet and a side entrance door.
Through a wide dividing doorway is a fully enclosed porch area which itself offers plenty of additional space to relax, dine or establish your kitchen area. This area has a detachable groundsheet for ease of cleaning.
There's a large canopy style front doorway which can be rolled up or propped out to form a sun canopy (porch poles not provided). Another feature are the multiple large windows throughout which allow in a massive amount of light but also feature adjustable toggle-up curtains (ideal for strippers) to adjust the light/privacy levels.
Other key features of the Outwell Glendale 7 Tent include:
The technical features include:
|Pack Size
|78x36cm (Flysheet); 66x17cm (Poles)
|21.5kg (Flysheet) + 10.5kg (Poles)
|120+160+120cm (430cm overall)
|215+280+180cm (700cm overall)
|Foliage Green/Granite Green

Recipe by Eugene Caccaitore
"This is a great and tasty recipe I'm sure you will enjoy. Check seasonings to taste. This has a heavy garlic and wine taste. When using a cooking wine do not add salt because there's salt already in the cooking wine. You can try sherry in place of the white wine. Top with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (16 ounce) package
linguine pasta
1/3 cup
extra-virgin olive oil
anchovy fillets
6 cloves
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
unsalted butter
1/2 cup
chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
2 (10 ounce) cans
whole baby clams, drained and juice reserved
1/3 cup
white wine
Very tasty. I misread the amount of pepper flakes which I accidentally tripled so it had a great big kick! Next time I will follow the recipe more carefully.
Oh my goodness...this was wonderful! I added in some sliced mushrooms and 2 more cans of chopped clams, I like it meaty! Also this recipe is even better reheated the next day!
6 Ratings
I love this recipe! I've been cooking it for years minus the anchovy. I'll probably try it next time. I use more wine and olive oil but no butter. I also add a cup of the pasta cooking water to make it thicker. Thumbs up!!
This was very good! I did use only 1 can of clams, which was plenty for 5 of us, used a tad more butter and skipped the oregano (just a personal preference). My Italian husband loved it! Seeing as he bought about 6 cans of clams recently, I think I'll be making this one again!
YUM! I love the combo of spices, never have put parsley in my sauce it was delicious. I'll use this recipe again.
Very easy an very good

Watch Francois Botha talk about fighting Sonny Bill in Cape Town.
Guerrero has been asking for a fight with Mayweather since Guerrero was a skinny 135-pounder. Now that Mayweather agreed to the bout this week for his Showtime debut, Guerrero plans to cash in on the chance.
Although he respects Mayweather's defence and skill, Guerrero thinks Mayweather has slowed down in recent years. He also expects Mayweather to be fighting ring rust after a year away and a two-month stint in jail.
A talkative former featherweight champion from Gilroy, California, Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KOs) says he's tired of top fighters avoiding him. He plans to use a win over Mayweather to propel him to the top of the sport.

Comfort and Stylish Boots
Very stylish boots ! I have ordered black/40, it is my usual size and this pair is a little, just a little bigger than I expected. But as the material of inside sole is stiff so I'm using a thin-soft inner sole and it goes very comfortable and fits perfectly. Inside sole and feet top are stiff (of course, it is Moto Boots...) but boots tube is soft so no stress for your ankle. I'm wearing this pair with skinny jeans and leg warmers, it makes my legs seem long and slender even it has very low heels. I think the design is very stylish, than other usual moto boots or engineer boots like FRYE for example. I once ordered FRYE 12R but I didn't like the design and returned it because my feet seemed bigger, but this pair, I love the style very much ! It worth the price.
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Lovely boots !
This is perfect boots as I expected. The color was lighter than the photos but I liked it very much, it matches every colors of skinny jeans I have. Only thing I have to add is the foot width is a bit narrow. I have wide feet and it was little difficult to put on but I had no problem to walk and also to drive my car for hole day long. If you have wide feet and want to wear it with thick socks in winter, maybe it is better to consider 1 size up. The calf fit is loose but the shape keeps straight. I love the back detail designs with zipper too, even I don't have to use it. Oh, one more thing, I couldn't undo the back zipper down to where it ends, only down to where the ankle back strap belt is, because the zipper is sewn and actually ends there. Anyway I love the boots and wearing it 3 times a week now !
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Police Files
A 34 YEAR-OLD man was arrested after a pack of suspected shabu was allegedly recovered from his possession while he was about to visit his cousin at the Talisay City Jail.
A small plastic pack containing white crystalline substance was found in the pocket of Richard Baguio, a resident of barangay Bulacao, Talisay City, police said.
Police said Baguio was frisked by JO1 Jindo Rodriguez when the man went to the Talisay City Jail to visit his cousin last Friday afternoon.
Police said the man's cousin, Gerald Baguio, was arrested by operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas in a buy-bust operation in November last year.
Appropriate charges will be filed against Richard, police said./CORRESPONDENT GABRIEL C. BONJOC
A 21-YEAR-OLD man was critically wounded after he was shot by unidentified motorcycle-riding assailants in barangay San Roque, Talisay City, southern Cebu.
Raymund Labaya Dechosa sustained gunshot wounds in the head, right shoulder and left thigh.
Police said Dechosa was standing by the road with his friends last Friday night when two men on board a motorcycle arrived.
The backrider alighted, drew a .45 caliber pistol and approached Dechosa, SPO4 Daniel Tarucan of the Talisay City police said.
Upon seeing the armed man, Dechosa ran toward the interior portion of the place.
The assailant chased Dechosa and shot him several times.
When the victim slumped on the ground, the gunman went back to the motorcycle and fled.
The victim was taken to the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center in Cebu City.
Personal grudges could be the motive for the attack, police said.
An operation to arrest the perpetrators is underway, police said./CORRESPONDENT GABRIEL C. BONJOC

When good logos go bad...
Personally I think the older logo was great, and this newer one is much less than great.
Just my opinion, of course, but what do you guys think?
Also, please post any similar examples of logos/designs that you think should have been left alone.

I love Wacom products, can't stand their new logo. (Their old one wasn't anything ground-breaking, but at least it wasn't obnoxious and abstract to the point of nonsensical.) It looks like it's made of those stupid vuvuzela horns from the world cup!
.. I will say that I like the font better on the new one, though.

Old WACOM logo looks very dated, typical 80s-90s tech both in both color and type, look at how similar the aesthetic is to the 1987 Microsoft logo.
However, the new one is batshit retarded, almost on the level of the recent AOL rebranding or the London 2012 logo, both by the same company that made the Wacom one, Wolff Olins. I guess one should give them credit for going outside the box, but I'm not sure why they have decided to discard any and all rules of what people actually like looking at =p

The funny thing about the wacom logos is they weren't made with a wacom tablet. If there is any time when hand written script is necessary this would be it.

I like the new Wacom one. The old one feels static and conservative and techy. The new one feels friendly, fun, and the shapes remind me of colored light shining out, which I think is appropriate for a digital art-making tool. I think they are trying to appeal to a new market with their bamboo tablets, and the new logo seems appropriate for that. And I thought the 2012 one was garish when I first saw it, but when I saw all the different applications for it, it made a lot more sense to me. I'm not a logo expert though.

I don't know.. but i like the volution of most of the logos posted here(except in the case of "Wacom" & "AT&T".. i think that in most of the cases now they look more modern and clean.
In the case of "StarBucks" logo..the last one doesn't make a big change :B!(i would keep the previous one)

I agree some brand logos went so bad now, more like the older logos especially the Coca Cola logo before!

Well i guess you can add gap logo to the list. I loved their old logo, don't know why they chose to go with a default font and a tiny box for their new logo... it's just sad.

Finally! I never thought there'll people that dislike the new, current Pepsi logo! What's the new logo supposed to mean? A bird with a sun and sea? The 1973 is probably the most iconic for Pepsi - it was very popular.
And Coca-Cola? THE MOST ICONIC LOGO. EVER.

I'm rather impressed that Coke's logo has remained more or less unchanged for a hundred years or so. It's really only slightly different handwriting.
I don't much like the new Pepsi logo either. I think the 1973 one is my favorite- bright, colorful, iconic.
Also, wtf Wacom. I had not seen that logo. Is it on the new tablets and everything? o_O

I dont agree with the premise here. Improvements on logos tend to be far better than the original for modern times. The originals were modern when they were made, making them stand out. But as they get older they need to be reborn. From a graphic design perspective the improvements are really great on most of those logos. They are edgy, fun, and do the job they are meant to do. They dont stray too far from the brand to be unidentifiable but far enough to be new and interesting.

Times change, people change, core demographics shift in unusual/unforeseen ways... that's a crazy bunch of variables to try to keep up with.
That AT&T logo though just always bugged me. I understand the need to modernize it, I just don't like how they did it. But that's just an opinion.
Someone designed it, made some money and made a client happy.
Can't say anything bad about that.

I suppose technically it doesn't really have a predecessor, but I'm counting the default olympic logo. Anyway I don't care because it's just bloody horrible.

wow that olympic logo does look horrible. It really doesn't make me think of london or the olympics. It looks like some pattern you'd see on hammer pants.

I was going to post the London Olympic logo, what was pipped to the post. It annoys me that it cost the tax payer £400,000. Terrible, over priced piece of toss that gave people eppileptic attacks when it was first unveiled. Shame on those who commissioned it and shame on those who made it... That is a terrible piece of design work.
That £400k and the mounting billions the games are costing us Brits should have been spent on our Health Service or invested into solutions that would help ease the country's depbt that went into bailing out the banks.
What a waste of f**king money.
