U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Black Employee Endured Crude Racial Slurs, Threats From Swastika-Wearing Foreman And Was Forced to Quit Over Abuse, Federal Agency Charged
ATLANTA – Towersite Services, LLC, (TSS) a Roswell, Ga.-based firm that provides installation and testing of cell phone towers for companies located throughout the Southeast, violated federal law when it forced an African-American employee to work under severe and repeated racial harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it recently filed.
According to the EEOC's suit, Granville Ritchie was hired by TSS in January 2009 to perform all aspects of cell phone tower installation, testing, and maintenance. Throughout the course of his employment with TSS, Ritchie was regularly subjected to racially derogatory comments, hostile gestures and threats from the foreman who was assigned to lead the team for which Ritchie worked. The supervisor, who wore a swastika on his arm, claimed he "cut an African from belly to neck," and said he "likes killing blacks and Mexicans," adding, "just hang them and burn a cross on their homes." He called Ritchie "boy," said "whites run things," praised burning crosses on lawns, screamed and yelled at Ritchie and threatened to harm him physically, the EEOC said.
Despite several complaints by Ritchie to management officials concerning the misconduct, the harassment continued. The harassing conduct was so hostile that Ritchie quit his position in fear for his safety, the EEOC said.
All this alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-02997-TWT-JFK) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. The EEOC is seeking back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for Ritchie. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief designed to stop race discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
"The extreme abuse that Mr. Ritchie suffered is something that no American employee should be forced to endure," said Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office. "The purpose of this lawsuit is not just to vindicate the rights of Mr. Ritchie, but to make sure that no one else will be forced to endure similar misconduct."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

The Oktibbeha County School Board will hold a special meeting Monday to cover some issues that were not addressed in its last meeting.
The superintendentŌĆÖs office was packed up in late June in preparation for relocation to a new building on Main Street in Starkville. Some of the items needed for the regular meeting held on July 5 were still packed away in boxes, Superintendent James Covington told the board.
However, the move was pushed back until the end of July after an inspection of the new building revealed numerous cosmetic issues, according to Covington. He said the office will be moved to its new location by July 29, just days before the county schools open for the new year.
There are several important issues on the agenda for the special meeting. The board plans to approve handbooks for the elementary and secondary schools as well as the staff for the entire district.
The board will approve the resolution to purchase eight new buses for the district, four new and four used. The busses will help the district phase out some of their older models in their fleet. Each campus will receive one new and one used bus.
The budget adoption calendar and insurance for the upcoming school year are also on the list for approval by the board.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Office of the Superintendent at 800-A Louisville St., next to Dirt Cheap in Starkville.

FROM THE BACKYARD to the front, from the planting strip to the rooftop, no unpaved part of Portland has been safe from gardeners. We've been at it a long time—both for food and good looks. The luggage hauled in the wagons on the Oregon Trail included everything from our prized strawberries to cuttings of our namesake rose. Over the decades, we built a Japanese and a Chinese garden that know no rivals outside their countries of origin. Meanwhile, the Willamette Valley chapter of Tilth designed an organic certification program in 1982 that eventually became the model for the nation.
Today, a walk through virtually any neighborhood will attest to how seriously Portland home gardeners take their yards. The sopping winters and bone-dry summers had the savviest digging up their lawns years before water-conscious xeriscaping became a civic mandate in many American cities. Crafty Stumptowners were recycling all kinds of cast-offs into art well in advance of Martha Stewart's flashbulb.
In the following pages, we present a modest guide both for those who aspire to be the ultimate Portland gardener and for those who already are, but just want to refine their chops. Download this handy list of plants, nurseries, and other resources. But of our 50 tips, #1 requires nothing more than a shovel to …
Tip 1
DITCH THE LAWN. The first step to becoming a true Portland gardener is to go grass-free—at least free of the thirsty kind that's been bioengineered for the conventional American "lawn." Start by planting a rich tapestry of perennial flowers that will provide hummingbirds, bees, and other visitors with a feast from spring through early summer. Just figure out how tall you'd like your meadow to be, and get ready for a sweet, blowsy look.

I remember when I went to the White House as a little girl when the first President Bush was in office. I received a little wooden Easter Egg that was signed by President Bush himself. We stood in line for what seemed an eternity. It was very exciting but a little bewildering for a girl my age. What could all the fuss be about?
Perhaps you're new to the tradition, or perhaps you've never even heard of it. But every year, the White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll for the masses. This is one of the oldest traditions of the White House that started with Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878 and continues on to this day. The tradition came to a halt during the World Wars I & II and during the White House renovations, however, it was later revived under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
No event would be complete without help from the First Ladies. It was Pat Nixon who brought the Easter Bunny to the annual festivities. In 1981 Nancy Reagan hosted an Easter Egg Hunt that included wooden eggs. This soon became the official keepsake item to collect for this event. I still have the egg and it is somewhere in my home unto this day. I could never throw it away-how could I?
The theme for this year's Easter Egg Roll was "Let's go, let's play, let's move" to keep in line with the First Lady's "Let's Move" Initiative, in order to fight childhood obesity.
The Easter Egg Roll attracts the latest and greatest in children's writers, education, and entertainment every year. J.K. Rowling as well as many others have come to perform and talk to children. And guess what? Our very own Yo Gabba Gabba came to perform this year! Not bad for an event that draws more than 35,000 people, right?

Comments about Regal Tip Hickory Drumsticks:
I play a lot of Steely Dan, Dixie Land, and swing (with a small ensemble), and these sticks are great. My previous go-to sticks for this kind of music were the Vic Firth 5AJ. I still like those sticks a lot, but they are wood-tipped, and while wood tips sound nice and mellow on cymbals compared to nylon, they don't last long (maybe a week) - once the tips chip, play becomes funny.
The Regal Tip Combos were the answer for me. They are slightly thinner and lighter then the 5AJs, but they feel a little stiffer and play well, and for the kind of music I've mentioned, they'll last a long time.
Lighter sticks will bring your volume down, which leads to a word about drum heads. The sound of drum heads are a personal preference, but many people don't realize that different heads sound better with different weight sticks. I'm using Evans G12s on my toms, and the lighter sticks make them sound wide-open and they really sing. Just as too big an amp can overdrive a woofer and cause distortion, I've found that too big a stick can overdrive a drum head and cause distortion. Conversely, using too small a drum stick on double-ply heads often will not sound good. I mention this because if you have something like an Evans EC2 on your toms, you probably won't like these sticks, but if you have G1s, G12s, or their near counterparts from Remo or Aquarian, you'll probably like these sticks a lot for the sound they will give you.
Best Uses
Comments about Regal Tip Hickory Drumsticks:
As I get older, I like lighter sticks. Wife likes the lower volume, and I can play with MP3 and radio at a lower sound levels. Also a lot easier on the left fingers. Much less damage on heads, cymbals, and ears too. These are my sticks from now on.
Best Uses
Comments about Regal Tip Hickory Drumsticks:
I got these on a lark because I had every other stick Regal Tip makes that might work for jazz from 5A on down, and didn't know what to expect, but these are "perfect", just the right blend/mix of the light touch of a 7A (15" in RT) and 5A or 8A, or other "jazz" sticks, even ones w/ that label on them (16") since these are 15.5" and have a great "alive" feel to them. The shaft is sightly thicker, ideal for my big hands, but the "bouncy" response is just what I was looking for. Game over. Fyi, the JC-model, by Calato himself, is identical except it's 16", also great if you want that standard stick feel w/ a touch more weight.
Comments about Regal Tip Hickory Drumsticks:
I have used this size sticks for more than twenty years. I do not have a long reach but if I'm playing jazz or switch up to swing or even southern rock I can "FLIP" my left stick to achieve a great attact, rebound and the quality sound I require.

Enter date and time:
Did You Know...?
- Plan B One-Step® works in a similar way to birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. However, it should not be used as regular birth control as it is not as effective.
- Sperm can live in the female reproductive tract for 5 to 6 days.2
- A woman's chances of becoming pregnant from unprotected sex are approximately 20%-25% each menstrual cycle—even if it's her first time.3
- Douching, washing, or urinating after sex does not decrease the chances of pregnancy, as sperm enter the cervix immediately and are out of reach.4
- A woman can become pregnant from unprotected sex that takes place any time from 5 days before ovulation to 1 day afterwards.5
- A 28-day ovulation cycle is only an average; every woman's cycle is different and varies.6

The plastic parts on this just don't hold up to the strain from the folding system. This work stand broke right away and even the replacement part broke immediately. I would spend a few bucks more for another brand work stand.

You can't beat this stand for the price
By Fudloe
from Dickson City, PA
See all my reviews
This stand has all the features of the expensive stands the big guys sell, quick release clamping, 360 rotation, height adjustable and it's stowing footprint is negligible (which for Captain Bachelor and his three room mansion, here, is a huge plus)The only issue I had was the rubber gripper pad in the clamp was a little slick and the bike rotated inward over time when clamped at the seatpost. A little 400 grit sandpaper fixed that post haste.Built well, easy to use and cheap. Trifecta of awesome for a buster like myself.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
OK for occasional use, but...
By grease under my nails
from Long Beach, CA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I was so happy to finally have a work stand, and this one was fine until I repositioned the clamp to work on a different bike. The heavier bike must have been too much for the flimsy bolt that attaches the clamp to the vertical post. It's an odd design that seems fragile and fiddly, with the 1/4" bolt I mentioned running parallel with the post, and just waiting to bend with the weight of a bike suspended at right angles to it. At least now I know what to look for when I get my next stand.
Merchant response: Hi Grease - We can get you a replacement part for your stand. Give our product support department a call at 1-877-688-8600 (weekdays 9am to 6pm easter time) and we can get one out to you. Thanks Bike Nashbar
Why didn't I do this sooner!

About Me Competitive Cyclist
This bike stand is great. I've ridden competitively and for personal enjoyment for about 40 years now on two Continents and have always done my bike maintenance myself. I've never purchased a bike stand though because I never thought I needed one - boy was I wrong. My wife says I always do things the hard way and apparently she has been right, up until now. This is a great bike stand, especially at the price I got it for. I read every review I could find on every bike stand available within my price range and this was the only one that NOBODY had anything bad to say about. Everybody else was right - it is a great stand at a great price. Sturdy, easy assembly, great adjustability, takes up very little space and makes working on my bikes (mountain and road) a breeze. I have to keep asking myself - Why didn't I do this years ago? Apparently, the answer is because I couldn't have gotten this bike stand at such a great buy forty years ago.
Great stand for the money
By Living The Dream
from Colorado
On sale this a deal. Very sturdy. Bike clamp works well for road or mountain. Bottom clamp for stand legs needs to be tight or will slide down. But after one try this was not an issue. Stand works well for luging chain, doing maintenance, washing, etc. Folds for storage. For the price can't be beat.
Great buy
By Ken
from Paris,TN
Easy to assembly. Use for minor bike repair at home. Have never used pro work stand so cannot compare. Great buy for the price and quick delivery. Very pleased and would recommend to a friend.
Needs A Little Re-Engineering
By Mike
from York, PA.
This is my first bike stand, bought it for my mountain bike. Like the adjustability and versatility. The one "knock" I have is the bike clamp. I might have been using it incorrectly, but after 3 or 4 uses the roller pin for the clamp handle broke. After some re-engineering (a heavier roller pin and a large washer under the clamp handle) seems to work fine. Otherwise no complaints.
Very good for the price
By Gettin' older but feelin' younger
from Houston Tx
I live in an apartment so this work stand is perfect for my needs. I set it up and work on my bike while watching TV. When done it folds up and gets put under the bed, out of the way. I looked at stands from other on line stores, but nothing looked as good as this for the money spent.Very happy with this purchase.
Design could get better
By Stnoel
from Franklim Park, NJ
Everything looks durable except the material used to connect the head clamp to the main tube/base is plastic. Just imagiine the weight of the bike to be just placed on that weak part. Metal or some alloy should have been used.
Once head clamp is in, it's fine.
By Tom B.
from Middlebury, VT
I had a hard time installing the head clamp and thought it was broken. But once I figured out how it was supposed to fit, it worked fine.

Peer Review Instructions
Read the paper, and comment on the draft. Note what isn't clear, what sentences are awkward, etc.
1. Write an outline (sometimes it helps to number the paragraphs when you do this).
Instructions: Please read this sheet carefully in order to know how you are to help your peers.
Bring 3 copies of your paper to class.
This is to give you an idea of the type of things you should be looking for and accomplishing in both your own paper and that of your peer(s). Use what follows as a kind of checklist for determining what is working effectively in a paper and what is not.
Art 236
Answer all the following questions for each paper. Write on a separate sheet, not on the draft itself. Include your name and phone number (or e-mail address) on your evaluation. Don't worry about "surface errors" (spelling, punctuation, etc.); let the author do her own proofreading. Your job is to spot more important problems.
There's little consensus among instructors as to what kind of student combinations make for the best peer workshop groups. Some instructors have found it helpful not to place two or more men and one woman in a group, or one student of color in an all‑white group.
After many semesters using peer review in my own composition classes and helping colleagues in Geography, Women's Studies, Political Science, Slavic, and Art use peer review successfully in their classes, I have several specific suggestions for instructors trying peer review for the first time or refining their own methods of using peer review.

Wednesday, June 17 - tech called and came out to try and fix laptop
Monday - June 22 - Dell laptop working.

Laptop Working - satisfied
Future Dell Customer? - unknown

It's working! Lets just hope it stays that way. If I where you I'd keep stepping on Dells toes to get at least a partial refund for lost hours. If you wait too long they won't do anything. I hope your able to finish your books soon now, can't wait!

Thing about it: not too many years ago, it would've taken a month or more to fix your laptop. Now, with modern on-line support and in-home technitians, you have your laptop fixed in 12 days. That's not even two weeks.
Do you really have that much to grumble about? I will admit, a refund may be desireable, but all in all, Dell provided pretty snappy service.

Think about this:
Today, a freelance writer can receive two writing/editing assignments from South Korea with a requested turnaround of 24 hours - payment on delivery.
Dell sells a Next Day Service repair option for those willing to pay for Next Day Service. I am one of those. Twelve days can often mean life or death to a small business. I had a backup PC for some work, but not all. I lost billable work.
Yes, I have something to grumble about. I don't even have my backup PC anymore because it's now running a CNC machine in Florida for testing.
If you consider this snappy service, you should not ever start a small business.

I'm glad you got your PC fixed. If you paid for next day service repair option, you should get next day service repair. I'm assuming they refunded you the money for the next day repair option? Good luck on the billable hours...unless they gave some hard and fast guarantee of service, I don't see you getting very far.
Happy Writing,
- Jun 23, 2009, 10:42:00 PM
- Jim Kelly said...
No, there was no written guarantee - as with all things, the small print gets them out of actually having to provide next-day service... which makes it all the more aggravating because that's what they're selling... I wonder how many hours of labor have been lost due to people not getting their next-day service the ACTUAL next day.
I'm disappointed in Dell... been a long time customer - 3 Dell laptops in the past and many many desktops in a previous job.
I'll be posting a follow-up to this in a couple of weeks... I want to give Dell time to address this issue with me over the phone or via email... this blog has over 45,000 visitors per month and my experience with Dell may influence one or more of those readers to buy (or not buy) a Dell in the future... all I'm asking is that Dell make this right. I lost over 30 billable hours of time but made up about 10 of those... some of those billable hours will not come back my way because of deadlines that were missed for other small businesses. Most of my long-term clients understand and have been flexible, but many one-time-job clients may be gone forever.
Again, I'm going to wait and see how Dell handles this before I post a final follow-up in a few weeks.

I had a Dell. I dumped Dell and went the Apple was about a year ago. It's probably added a couple months to my life just in not having to wait for the fool thing to boot up alone.

Madonna and Child with Saints James Major and John the Evangelist, altarpiece
This altarpiece was completed with depictions of just two saints flanking the Madonna, rather than the more customary four. Saint James is shown with a pilgrim's staff, though not with his other traditional attributes of a hat and seashells. Saint John the Evangelist, a young man with golden hair, carries as his attribute a book, referring to his authorship of the Fourth Gospel and the Book of Revelation.
Recent conservation treatment has revealed the refined qualities and vivid colors of the painting, as well as the decorative detailing of the textiles behind the Madonna and beneath her feet.

The snow had come suddenly last night. I couldn't help but think of the guys at school. They'll be happy. All they had talked about the whole Christmas vacation was whether it was going to snow or not. Mother said she reckoned it was about five inches. Well, to be honest, the snow wasn't all they talked about. The Hinson brothers were bragging about the new bikes they were going to get. Dennis was eyeing that B-B gun Mr. O'Connell had in his store-front window. Karl wanted a Swiss Army Knife. And Alan Hinshaw laid it on thick about something called an erector set. I didn't even know what that was…..didn't care! It sounded expensive, but shucks, his dad owns the sawmill; he can get anything he wants!
I wish I'd a'brought my cap, it's colder up on this mountain than I thought it'd be. I just left in too big of a hurry. This is where I come to think. And I've got a heap of thinking to do what with Christmas Day being tomorrow and all. We're getting nothing again this year. Mother said, "Ryne, I'm sorry, it's 1934, there's a depression. Someday you'll understand. If your dad hadn't a—"
That's when I got out'a there! That's the same thing she said last year. Is this depression going to last forever? And the Lord knows it's not Mom's fault. She's doing all she can do. There just ain't no work. And I don't care about the presents. I don't want nothing. But Billy has talked about a toy train and I'd give my right arm if I could get Coleen that Raggedy Ann doll she keeps a'studying on in that picture book. I ain't being completely honest. I'd love to have a new bike. A shiny red Western Flyer. I'd wheel into school and park right between Jeff and Chuck. Wouldn't that be grand!
Shoot a mile, who am I trying to fool carrying on like that. I ain't got a chance. Why do guys like Alan Hinshaw get all the luck? Nobody cares about us. Why, I'd leave in a minute if—
"Hello, son."
I near 'bout jumped out of my skin. I didn't hear nobody coming up.
"What's your name?"
"Ryne, sir. Ryne Bernier." How did he get up here without me hearing him? How did he know about my secret place?
"How old are you, son?"
Well, I don't make a habit out of talking to just anybody. But this guy looked O.K. He was dressed in overalls and looked as common as me. And he wasn't a real old man, looked kinda young – in an old sorta way. Timeless. You know what I mean? His eyes were gentle and friendly, and he liked me – kids can tell about things like that.
"Twelve, sir."
"Are you sure about that, Ryne?"
"Well, I'm eleven, but my birthday is just next month." He smiled like he knew I got it right.
"What are you doing up here?"
Before I knew it I was spilling my guts to a perfect stranger; told him everything – except the part about me wanting a bicycle. I figured he might think I was selfish. He never said a word except for when I was telling him how I wished I could carve out a wooden train for Billy. He said I could do it – it would just take a little practice – that he used to be a carpenter himself; he kinda' smiled and said he'd never carved out a train though.
I also upset him a little when I got down to the part about nobody caring a whit for a nothing boy like me. He looked me right in the eyes, didn't scare me mind you, but it sure got my attention. "Don't say that, Ryne. And don't you ever believe it for a minute. Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
We didn't talk much longer – he stood up and placed his hand on my head – guess he was wondering why I was out here bareheaded. He didn't say nothing about my missing hat and I played like I didn't notice those awful scars on his hands. He said he had to go and that I'd better hurry home – a storm was coming. Ha, I had him there! Listen, I'd lived in these hills all my life. Too clear and crisp; the storm had done passed through. He didn't know as much as I thought he did, "Hey, Mister, you're plum wrong about—"
He was gone. I looked all around. I couldn't even find his tracks.
It started snowing before I got to Calumet Creek. And I got a little turned around where the trail forks behind the old Sutton place. Dark was setting in. And I wasn't exactly sure where I was. I stumbled around looking for a tree or a rock that I could recognize – I couldn't be lost – the house has got to be close by! I climbed up on a ledge and there was the light from the barn. Thank goodness! I was home in ten minutes.
Mother was all over me. "Son, come look, you won't believe it!"
You could have knocked me over with a feather! Billy was on the floor, pulling the finest wooden train I ever saw between the legs of that old cane bottom chair Uncle Wyatt let us have. Seven cars with a Red Caboose! Perfect. And Coleen was a'hugging a Raggedy Ann so hard I don't think either one of them could breathe.
"Son, he just stopped by, appeared out of nowhere; said he'd picked these things up a while back and wondered if we'd have any use for them. He said you were all right and that you'd be home soon. Land sakes, he was gone before I could even thank him proper. Ryne, do you know—"
"Mother, how long has the barn light been out?"
"Son, that light hadn't worked in over a year."
I made a dash for the back door. I had to see for myself. It was so dark out there I fell over the bicycle parked right slap dab in the middle of our back porch. The brand new bicycle. Western Flyer. Red!
Merry Christmas,
Ryne and His Friend

Apple Remote app adds new Apple TV, iPad support
Apple has updated its Apple Remote app, adding support for the company's new Apple TV and iPad in the process.
The remote, which allows you to control the company's pseudo set-top box, also gets retina display support for the iPhone 4 and iPod touch (4G) and support for Shared Libraries on iTunes and new Apple TV.
Not surprisingly you'll also get support for the new iTunes 10 and of course the usual barrage of bug fixes.
Those who aren't fussed with control over their iTunes library from their phone should move on, there is nothing else to see here.

Ecological Niche
Discussion of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how these properties are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment
Moderator: BioTeam
5 posts • Page 1 of 1
Ecological Niche
Could someone please explain to me what this is, I have found multiple definitions, some conflicting. I would also love to know how to use it in a sentence.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Ecological Niche
Niche is where species or population is in its ecosystem. In lesser term, how they make a living. There are diffrent dimensions of a niche that has a wide variety of aspects of the environment which must be considered.
• 3 sets of parameters:
I.Range of physical factors for survival and reproduction: temperature, humidity, pH, soil, sunlight, etc.
II. Biological factors: predators, prey, parasites, competitors, etc.
III. Behavior: seasonality, diurnal patterns, movement, social organization, etc.
Example: Bristlecone pines - They are only adaptive alone the treeline of snow-cap mountains. Another is the Devils Pud fish in Nevada. Thermophiles too are great example of niche.
Hope this helps.
An ecological niche is the role an organism plays in a community in terms of the habitat it occupies, e.g., both a wolf and the wolf spider are predators. So they occupy the same ecological niche, albeit in a different habitat (even though they can live together in the same area, the habitat of the spider is of course much smaller than that of the wolf). While the lynx and the wolf could occupy the same ecological niche, which means they then would have to compete for the same resources (prey). So there can be ecological niches such as: predator, herbivore, detrivore, etc.
Re: Ecological Niche
Niche is usually defined as a way organism lives its life.
Re: Ecological Niche
The definition I like is from http://www.nps.gov/glba/forteachers/marine-environment-instructional-resources.htm
; however, for completeness I would also include procreate.
while searching for the source of this definition, I came across this http://www.montana.edu/screel/Webpages/Bio%20303/Biol%20303%20niches.pdf
From Mitchell, Paul; Ecology, 101 Key Ideas; NTC Publishing Group; Chicago, IL; 2000; p069

Because it just didn't live up to your expectations? Or because it seriously upset you somehow?
Mine would be, and that might surprise some, not be Unseen Academicals, but Folklore of Discworld, which I bought after reading the 'note from the publisher' in UA. As a more casual Dicworld fan I went and bought the book in hope it would explain some things UA didn't deliver an explanation for. But, oh surprise, the needed information were NOT in the version of Folklore that was out at the time, no, those came in a new edition much later on. (which I didn't buy after using amazon's 'search inside' feature...only to discover that a trip to wikipedia and looking up 'orcs' 'goblins' and 'medieval football' provided the same, if not more and better information)
The second book I actually regret buying even more is Jo Walton's Tooth and Claw.
The text on the back promised a book that combined one of my all time favourite themes, th victorian age, with one of my crazes at the time: dragons. It promised a world full of dragons living in a victorian setting.
Combine that with a very boring and clichéd standard plot and you have a book you can only regret buying.

It was a banner day for two NNSA/NNSS contractors as they were re-certified as Star Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). National Security Technologies (NSTec) and WSI Nevada Team received their certificates and banners from NNSA Nevada Site Manager Stephen A. Mellington. VPP promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management and labor establish cooperative relationships at the workplace to implement a comprehensive safety and health management system.
For NSTec this is their fourth Star Certification, which is the highest level under VPP. WSI is in their 11th year of VPP Star Status.
"Achieving this status demonstrates the willingness of NNSS contractors to collaborate for efficiency and establish continuity. In this case, it is in the areas of worker health and safety," said Mellington.
About the picture:

This year, 23 children and seven spouses of Pantexans were selected to receive scholarships of up to $1,000 to help with their college education. B&W Pantex has been administering the annual scholarship program since taking over as the Pantex Management and Operating contractor in 2001.
"B&W Pantex recognizes the importance of education," Woolery said. "These students have worked hard and we look forward to seeing what they will accomplish as they continue their studies."

The 2012 NNSA Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Symposium is set for Tuesday, June 12. This year's theme is "Discovery and Innovation for National Security" featuring highlights of game-changing, mission-relevant research supported by the LDRD Program throughout NNSA.
The program includes keynote presentations by:
•Neile L. Miller, NNSA Principal Deputy Administrator
•Charles V. Shank, Senior Fellow, Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Former Director, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
•Norman R. Augustine, Retired Chairman & CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation
•Thomas A. Kalil, Deputy Director for Policy, White House Office of Science & Technology Policy
The symposium also includes technical talks and poster presentations by NNSA laboratory researchers relevant to national security missions. At day's end, Victor Reis, Senior Advisor, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy, will lead a panel discussion on discovery and innovation issues for national security.
The Y-12 National Security Complex today held a ceremony in celebration of receiving Voluntary Protection Plan (VPP) Star status from DOE for excellence in occupational safety and health protection. The ceremony marked the start of Y-12 flying a VPP flag over the site's New Hope Center.
Dan Hoag, NNSA acting site manager, said achieving DOE-VPP Star status is a significant achievement for B&W Y-12. "It is a symbol of excellence in the pursuit of health and safety," he said. "VPP represents a strong commitment by Y-12 employees, the unions and management to continually strive for a safe workplace."
Only 28 entities across the United States hold DOE-VPP Star status.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have for the first time simulated and quantified the early stages of radiation damage that will occur in a given material. A full understanding of the early stages of the radiation damage process provides knowledge and tools to manipulate them to the fullest advantage.
Nuclear radiation leads to highly energetic ions that can penetrate large distances within matter, often times leading to the accumulation of damage sites as the projectile passes through the material.
During this process, the energetic ions eventually slow down as energy is lost by friction with the materials' electrons. Like a speedboat moving through a calm body of water, the passage of fast ions creates a disturbance in the electron density in the shape of a wake.

About the graphic:
Model of the electronic wake (blue surfaces) generated by an energetic proton (red sphere) traveling in an aluminum crystal (yellow spheres). The resulting change in electronic density is responsible for modification of chemical bonds between the atoms and consequently for a change in their interactions.
Maintenance Support and Utilities Management personnel at NNSA's Y-12 National Security Complex have taken steps to make sure old utility poles aren't sent to the landfill. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division and Y-12 staff collaborated to deliver utility poles to Lone Mountain State Forest's parking lots.
Mike Disney, Y-12 Power Operations section manager, said, "It's good that we can help other agencies, save tax dollars, and help save the environment all at the same time. Opportunities like this don't happen very often."
After the old utility poles were inspected and approved for off-site use, six forestry service employees brought five lumber trucks on site in October 2011. Y-12's line crew cut the 90-foot poles into smaller sections and helped load the trucks. The lumber trucks eventually hauled away more than 100 poles.
Cables pass through holes in waist-high sections of the poles, creating a border and confining vehicles and horse trailers to designated parking areas. In the near future, forestry personnel will use some of the poles as structure posts for a much-needed pavilion that will provide cover for Morgan and Roane County wildland firefighting equipment. Other sections of the poles will be used to block motorized vehicles from using the horse trails.
Additional uses for the old poles have been found. The U.S. Department of Energy is using some of the old poles at its secure transportation courier training facility in Oak Ridge. Some of the poles have been used to build a façade for a bunker on a live firing range. Additional poles have been stockpiled, and a combat conditioning course will be built as soon as funding is provided.
Pantex volunteers recently made lunch for 350 honor roll students as part of the plant's ongoing efforts to support academic achievement in area youth, particularly in areas such as science and math. This is the second year in a row Pantex has cooked lunch for the A and A-B honor roll students from Sam Houston Middle School in Amarillo.
Thanks to Sandia technology, radioactive material from more than 43 million gallons of contaminated wastewater have been removed at Japan's damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power.
Sandia developed a technology that uses crystalline silico-titanate, or CST, as a molecular sieve that can separate highly volatile elements from radioactive wastewater.
The CSTs were developed in the early 1990s response to a need for materials to remove radioactive contaminants from wastewater. During that time, researchers found that a certain class of synthetic zeolite is more effective in capturing some radioactive elements, like cesium, than other technologies.

Members of the B&W Pantex Explosives Technology Division celebrated a significant safety milestone Thursday with a cookout to commemorate working three million man hours without a lost time injury.
Managers from the division grilled up lunch for approximately 150 workers to mark the achievement, which is made even more significant by the nature of the work done by Explosives Technology employees.
According to David Cole, acting division manager, safety is the absolute priority for Pantex and it is something they talk about every day."Explosives operations are a high-consequence area," he said. "If you have a mistake, the consequences can be very grave. We have to make sure we never forget that and never become complacent."
Explosives Technology staff have worked diligently to make sure everyone works safely, said Monty Cates, manager of the Materials and Analytical Services Department. At daily standup meetings, safety is always the first topic, and every month, department safety meetings are held. Explosives Technology staff also participate in the many safety programs that operate plant wide.
B&W Pantex Acting Deputy General Manager Rod Johnson said the fact the Explosives Technology Division was able to achieve such a milestone is testament to the dedication of the staff. "Safety, security and quality are the basis of all of our activities at Pantex," he said.
The hard work of the members of the division led to Pantex being named the High Explosives Center of Excellence for High Explosives Manufacturing by the Department of Energy.

There is a problem with the NVRAM size on this router. Have you looked at this?
Posted 20 September 2012 - 13:28
Posted 20 September 2012 - 15:20
Thanks a lot!
Ah that's interesting, didn't know about the NVRAM issue. I've had Toastman's Tomato mod running on this router since June 2012, but the firmware I flashed was less than 64k so it was never an issue on my end (I think I was using a 32k firmware). The firmware size issue seems to be fixed in Tomato now (Both Shibby & Toastman mods have the fix since August 2012 it looks like)
For DD-WRT, you'd have to try to get input from someone who was successful flashing that onto the router. Or I guess you don't need the input now if you got a new router.. good luck w/ the D-Link!

Keep in mind Tomato does not support wireless repeater bridge mode (AFAIK).
But thinking about this more, w/ Tomato you could just set it in Wireless Client Mode & then just connect your machines via the LAN ports. (be sure to turn off local DHCP & whatnot, you would be getting those settings from your neighbor's wifi)
And if you want to get fancy, once you have the Asus working in Wireless Client Mode just buy a 2nd wireless router & connect its LAN port (or use the WAN port if you don't mind double NATing) to the Asus' LAN port. Your 2nd wifi router would need to get its WAN/LAN traffic from the main wifi router from your neighbor, & should be on a different wifi channel to avoid issues. In effect you would be using the Asus to receive the wireless connection from afar & you'd be using your 2nd wireless router to extend the wifi for your own area. Plus b/c you're not doing a wireless bridge you won't impact the bandwidth (wireless bridge mode uses 50% of the wifi bandwidth).
I've never done this myself so your mileage may vary, but it seems doable?
Posted 25 September 2012 - 13:17
Posted 26 September 2012 - 13:54
The original Asus firmware wasn't too bad, so I imagine the asuswrt-merlin can only be a good thing (though I haven't tried it myself).
I mostly use Tomato b/c of its excellent QOS capabilities, besides the extra QOS configurations you can add on your own, it already brings a ton of pre-defined QOS rules (the Toastman Tomato mod does, not quite sure on the others). It's essential when you're sharing internet with other people IMO. Tomato can also handle fine-grained settings for port forwards, another essential for me. Most routers' default firmwares only allow basic settings for this stuff (though DD-WRT def has no problem in this area). And then there's Tomato's sweet, sweet web interface.
Though for the record, I think Asus' firmware has a better way of setting up a wifi guest network. It's not very straightforward to do this in Tomato (possible, but I had to attempt it a few times to get it right!).
But outside of that stuff maybe there isn't really any practical reason, ultimately you'd want to use firmware depending on what you're looking for & what you need.
Toastman insted Shibby? (AFAIK, shibby do exactly the same and much more)

A record-breaking powerboat pilot has survived crashing at 130 mph on Coniston Water.
Keith Whittle, 57, from Hayling Island in Hampshire, was taking part in the Power Boat Records Week when his boat flipped. The annual event has been running in the Lake District for over 40 years.
Mr Whittle escaped with minor injuries but his accident was reminiscent of Donald Campbell's fatal crash in January 1967.
The accident was caught on film by a spectator and Keith reflected on the incident in an interview with the BBC: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJlt-WjeAIE

From my Forbes.com blog The New Persuaders:
Facebook's initial public offering in May was supposed to be the bellwether for an expected pile of IPOs this year, but the subsequent dive in the social network's shares appeared to put new offerings into a deep freeze. Now, it looks like the mini-Ice Age for IPOs is starting to thaw.
Today, two companies that were widely expected to file for an IPO before Facebook's IPO faceplant, said they plan to go public this month. Internet security firm Palo Alto Networks aims to raise up to $175 million with an offering at $34 to $37 a share. Kayak, which had put off an IPO expected late last year, also priced its offering, hoping to raise $87.5 million at $22 to $25 a share.
Given that Facebook's IPO was supposed to be a sure thing–and most assuredly wasn't–there's certainly no guarantee that these two companies will help bring back the IPO market. Investors will be cautious about every new IPO, not only because of Facebook, but because of the poor subsequent performances of tech IPOs such as Groupon and Zynga. What's more, the economy is simply too uncertain to bet on a momentum-driven market like IPOs.
Nonetheless, successful IPOs by Palo Alto Networks and Kayak–on top of another recent IPO success by ServiceNow in June–would inject new life into the technology investment cycle. Indeed, investors such as YCombinator's Paul Graham have warned that Facebook's face plant has already cooled early-stage tech investment. So any revival would be positive for the innovation and growth that comes out of that cycle. …

The Armed Forces Student Association will be planting a flag garden in the Arboretum in honor of Remembrance Day. One flag will be planted for each soldier that has been killed in theater since 9/11. This will be a fund and awareness-raising event. $1 will plant 1 flag. Proceeds will be donated to Bentley Conrad, 1-year-old son of Sgt. TJ Conrad.
Sgt. Conrad was killed in Afghanistan during a demonstration over the burning of Qurans earlier this year. His wife Holly moved to the Roanoke area so Bentley would grow up with his father's family. We want to show them that we have not forgotten the sacrifices they have all made for our country.
Donations are being accepted on an on-going basis. There is a collection jar in the financial aid office, and more will be popping up around campus. We are planning to have all the flags planted during the entire month of November.
Donations may be made in honor or memory of any soldier, from any conflict. These particular donations will be recognized on a memorial wall in Chapman Hall, also during November.
For more information, please contact Michele Hilts at 857-7395 or email@example.com.

Indeed. I know about the sex change and the fact that it was Norman Lovett got too stroppy so when he threatened to leave, they let him.
No, I was just wondering why Holly, which is usually a girl's name was used.
I don't think it's short for hologram, as he isn't a hologram. Rimmer is a hologram, so we know what they look like in the Red Dwarf universe.

It's probably a bad sign when you're starting to be called "President Present" and it doesn't mean that your being president is a present to the country...
Obama advisers are spinning their excuses for the president's absence (he needs to stay above the fray, he believes in international agreement). Conservatives, for their part, are beginning to argue the "incompetence" line. A combination of all is probably at work, along with an even greater impulse: political safety. Mr. Obama got a taste of falling approval ratings last year. The White House has worked hard to get those numbers back up and wants to keep them there until Mr. Obama has a GOP opponent and can go into campaign mode—where he's at his best.
See more at The Wall Street Journal
Why does this guy even want to be president?
Other than a record of indecision what can he possibly run on? ObamaCare? The "stimulus?" The only concrete decisions he has made to date came when he had congressional majorities that were lost because of those decisions.
How about that for change?
So now the strategy is to do NOTHING until it's campaign time? Why? So he can tell voters to vote for him over the other guy if they want more of:
Hmm...now that I've listed it out, you really do get a lot more than it seems. At first I thought Obama was like a bag of potato chips, with more air than chips. Now I see that he's more like a Taco Bell burrito, it doesn't look like you're getting much until they wrap it up and you bite in to it and get a surprise overloaded mouthful of bottom-scraped refried beans.
That's the Obama Administration in a tortilla shell...
I hope his campaign staff has a dictionary on hand when his GOP opponent mentions words like deficit, and terrorism, and leadership.
That's REALLY important, because when the campaigns sit down to hammer out the terms of the debates I really don't think the theme of any of them will involve NCAA brackets.
