Best Art Supplies (Nontraditional) St. Louis 2004 - Leftovers, Etc.
1759A Scherer Parkway
St. Charles, MO 63303
One of the first laws you learn in art school is, "Anything can be art." The corollary that follows right behind that is, "Don't throw anything away, because it could be art." Leftovers, Etc. operates on both of these principles. Just down the street from the Bevo Mill, their expansive St. Louis store (there's also a St. Charles location, at 1759 Scherer Parkway; 636-946-9779) is an art student's dream: Racks of salvaged tins, magazines, stationery and bolts of fabric. Phalanxes of empty Mrs. Butterworth bottles, a battered army of tiny athletes from years of unwanted sports trophies and towers of yogurt containers. Bins of pens and crayons, rolls of tiny red Marlboro stickers no bigger than your fingernail and a bucket full of the yellow plastic legs from the old Cooties toy that was popular in the '70s. There's a book exchange, an arts-and-crafts book library and new loads of stuff coming in daily, all of it for sale ($4 or $7 for a paper grocery sack full of goodies), all of it waiting to be transformed into art by clever, thrifty hands. Check out their Trash-to-Art Museum for ideas, or just imagine what you could make from 50 green milk bottle caps, a coffee can full of doll limbs and a surveyor's map of Indiana. You'll never hit the thrift stores again.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 22 February 2013 02:27PM
Marketing disclosed in January 2012 that Galaxy was to revive the strapline after a 13-year hiatus
Brand owner Mars initially employed the strapline in 1987, but dropped it in 2000. The new ad, which will debut on Sunday 24 February during 'Mr Selfridge' on ITV1, is made by AMV BBDO and uses CGI technology to showcase footage of the star seeking a place to enjoy her Galaxy chocolate.
The ad is set during the 1950s on Italy's Amalfi Coast and shows a young Hepburn sitting on a crowded bus, wondering when she will be able to indulge in her Galaxy chocolate bar.
A car pulls up alongside the bus and she catches the driver's eye. Hepburn seizes the opportunity to leave the bus to recline in the back seat of the open-top car, where she enjoys her Galaxy.
As they drive into the distance, the end frames remind viewers that with its silky, smooth taste, Galaxy is a pleasure worth taking.
The TV ad will be supported by press, sampling and digital activity.

Jesse James Cheated on Kat Von D With 19 Women
Kat Von D doesn't need to hear "I told you so" because she already knows everyone is thinking it. If you remember, Kat began dating Jesse James after he famously cheated on Sandra Bullock — she learned the hard way that once a cheater, always a cheater.
On Sunday, November 13, 2011, Kat posted a note on Facebook called, "Thank you, Jesse James." In it, she admitted that her biker ex cheated on her with 19 women (Yes, 19!!) over the last year and that she wants out of their "toxic relationship." Kat avoided tearing him apart and simply wrote about her hopes to move on without bitterness and regret. In fact, she thanks Jesse for teaching her that "[t]ime is something you can never get back."
To read her full note, click here.
Way to take the high road, Kat. Now run, and don't look back!
"Never have I felt so strong about True Love, than I do today. I believe in Love more than anything else, and more than ever before.
Today I encountered the 19th girl to add to the list of people Jesse cheated on me with during this last year.
I kept going back and forth in my mind as to what the best way would be for me to release and let go of any residual feelings remaining from that toxic relationship. All of this may sound petty or immature to some, but I assure you this is coming from a place of pure honesty and love.
There was a time when I was confident and excited at proving the world wrong, because I believed so deeply in people's ability to change for the better. Although this was not a primary purpose in the relationship, I did feel like it would be a positive thing for those who judged Jesse solely based on what they read in tabloids, to see that change is always possible - even in the people who seem hopeless.
I still believe that, even if that change never occurs inside of him - because I see proof of change everyday - in others, and in myself.
I'm far from perfect, but am willing to examine myself, and my patterns of dysfunction, and then put in the work to better myself. It's a daily practice, but it's working.
Sure, its easy to tell someone, "I told you so" especially if you're criticizing someone from the outside, but that attitude comes from a place called Ego, and not Love.
I know I deserve a big fat "I told you so," from everyone, and wish I didn't have to say, "You all were more right than you'll ever know" but you were.
Not to worry, I've gladly paid the consequences for every mistake I've ever made, but learned so much from each of them.
Yes, I am pretty tired of getting mistaken for the girl who everyone believes to have broken up Jesse and Sandra's marriage, just because I have black hair and tattoos like that other gal. That does get a quite annoying at times, and it would be nice to not be associated with her, but that's trivial in the grand scheme of things.
I think it just made me sad today to imagine him still in that dark place - where seeking validation through the attention of women takes precedence over being a good father, a sincere friend, a better coworker, and a happy individual.
I tried my best to go through all of this without venting, or complaining, or fueling more tabloid mumbo jumbo - but this isn't about any of that.
This is about me making peace with myself, and forgiving myself for making some bad mistakes.
I don't want to sink into the feelings of regret, or resentment.
Because right now, for the first time in my life I have felt regret, (for someone like me, who's never felt that before, this is hard to say out loud).
Time is something you can never get back, and what we do with this very present moment is the most real thing we have. So if that's the lesson Jesse forced me to face and learn by all of this, than all I can say is Thank You.
It would be nice to move on now, and kindly thank you all in advance for your support, love, and positivity.
Life is far too grand to focus on the negative and put each other down.
Sending Love and Light to everyone, especially those who weren't always so kind,
Kat Von D"

Owatonna, MN (PRWEB) June 27, 2012
The time it takes to develop a habit varies. The average rule used to be 21-28 days, but some researchers say it's closer to 66. It depends on the individual, but the keys to creating these habits are repetition and consistency.
Healthy eating as a habit is a goal many of us strive for. The new MyPlate icon announced by Michelle Obama and the USDA last June introduced an easy and achievable way to create those healthy habits. Daily reminders are needed to enhance our understanding of MyPlate and bring us closer to developing healthy habits.
New dry erase menu boards developed by Learning ZoneXpress serve as a vibrant visual reminder to incorporate all food groups into every meal. Promote healthy meals by displaying daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus categorized by food group segments of MyPlate. This not only makes the connection between fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and low-fat dairy, but it also ensures we have the proper portions of each present in our meals.
These boards come in two varieties making them versatile for any location:
Each menu boards is available from Learning ZoneXpress in two sizes, 18" x 24" and 32" x 45", to fit any size space.
Learning ZoneXpress, based in Owatonna, Minn., is a leading source of "edu-taining" and award-winning teaching tools. Its mission is to help improve the health and vitality of children by providing relevant, creative and affordable learning tools about life skills, healthy behaviors and nutrition. Learning ZoneXpress offers a wide variety of learning aids and affordable education DVDs, posters, games, lesson plans, and PowerPoint presentations.

The N.C. Department of Transportation's snow and ice removal efforts went smoothly last night, despite arctic temperatures throughout the mountains and foothills.
Temperatures overnight in some mountain counties reached 14 degrees below zero with wind at 20 mph. A few counties reported minor technical difficulties when equipment froze because of the extreme cold, but those issues didn't significantly impact snow removal.
Most interstates in the region are clear, but as temperatures stay below freezing today, icy patches are possible. Motorists are encouraged to use caution and look out for any NCDOT crews working along the roads.
Here's some information on road conditions throughout the western region:
Division 14 (Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Polk, Swain and Transylvania counties):
Conditions across the Division 14 range from no snow in several counties to snow showers over a period of 29 hours along the Tennessee border. Across the division, interstates are open and primary highways are mostly clear.
There was no snow in Henderson, Polk, and Transylvania counties. Macon, Clay, Jackson, and Swain counties received some snow, and crews in those counties have already finished clearing the roads.
Cherokee, Graham, and Haywood counties received the most snowfall. Crews will finish clearing secondary roads in those counties today.

The revelations of the merciless beating of students by the CEO of Priyadarshani School, Bhosari, highlight the deep malaise that exists in academic institutions, both in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
What is shocking, say parents, is the complete failure of the State Education Department to infuse a sense of discipline in schools — among principals, teachers and the management — which ultimately could translate into a healthy academic environment. Parents allege that the education department has become a puppet in the hands of school managements and that the department is not serious about implementing the Right To Education Act.
The latest incident clearly highlights much that is wrong with the way schools are being run in Pune. Parents and activists believe that the incident leaves little doubt that schools are being run according to the whims of the managements and principals. Most schools, they allege, focus their energy on ensuring an impressive SSC result so that they can publicise their students' performance and thereby get more students and raise fees.
Encouraging students to take up sports, exercise, develop oratory skills and learn proper public behaviour is not given any importance, say civic activists.
"What right does a CEO have to beat students the way he did?" asked RTI activist Sachin Godambe who said he has decided to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission. Earlier last month, Godambe had filed another complaint with the commission against schools in Pune that begin their day very early in the morning, depriving children of the chance to have a good breakfast and forcing them to learn on an empty stomach.
"There is something seriously wrong with the way schools are run. But the big question is: who will rein them in? Isn't it the job of the State Education Department? Why is it allowing the schools a free run?" asked Godambe.
The Bhosari incident is not the first time a school has been found guilty of what parents describe as 'cruel behaviour.' In November last year, Samruddhi Pawar, a Class IV student of Modern Primary High School on Ganeshkhind Road, died suddenly after she collapsed in the school complaining of chest pain. In another case, a 14-year-old student of Warje-Malwadi died while playing basketball on the school premises last June. He too had no known history of illness. About four years ago, a student of a Nigdi school died on the very first day of the academic year. The girl was not feeling well on that day, but she was made to attend the school that had threatened to punish "any student who remains absent on the first day."
What is unnerving in all these incidents, say parents, is the response of the State Education Department, which reportedly did not take any strong action against the schools, like de-recognising them or filing police complaints against the principals, …continued »

March 9, 2012 (F1plus team).- The 2012 Formula 1 season is here, and it seems that excitement over the tournament is running high, especially given the obvious uncertainties in terms of predictions, and the choosing of a clear favorite.
In general, the McLaren team and its drivers feel confident the MP4-27 will deliver, even though it is basically the only car –along with the Marussia- that does not have the "stepped nose" job followed by the other manufacturers, which raises eyebrows as why taking a different route.
At the end, it might bring huge dividends, or simple underperform. Regardless, McLaren has proven through time that they are good at adjustments and come backs. Besides, the team did well during the pre-season testing.
There are two main things that all three: Button, Hamilton and the team Principal Matt Whitmarsh found consensus.
One, the Australian GP is an excellent place to start the season because of the ambiance is always really good and welcoming, given the friendly nature of the Aussies. Also, there is usually a lot of sunshine and warm temperatures, something that provides plenty of motivation to get back to the track.
"It is a special race – you step off the plane after a long, cold European winter and it's usually very sunny and the people are incredibly welcoming" commented Button.
As for Hamilton words like "smiling faces" and "positive vibe" complement statements like this: "Melbourne is a city that has sport running through its veins – and the crowd lives and breathes it".
Two, it is hard to project how the team and its drivers will do with so many open questions about the rest of the field. Testing went well for the team, very "balanced" as Whittmarsh put it, but there is a lot more to it.
It is palpable that overall sentiment is one of prudence when expressing the season's expectations, but they do think the MP4-27 is definitely up in the mix with the title challengers.
Jenson Button said: "I'm happy with our preparations. You always want more laps and more time in the car, but, unlike last year, we've had a very solid start to our pre-season. It's been very difficult to read pace over the winter because a lot of teams have been playing their cards close to their chests: I think it's going to be extremely close, and I can't wait to find out where we sit in the pecking order."
As for the 2008 champion, Lewis Hamilton, it seems that most of the troubles from last year are in the past: "I actually feel more relaxed and ready for the new season than I think I've ever done. Everything has gone smoothly with the car – which is more than we can say for last year! – and it just seems to be a responsive and reliable package. My final day in the car – with the aero package we plan to run next weekend – also felt good: the car was a useful step forward".
Team boss, Whitmarsh tried to play down any spike in emotions because of the new season: "I've never lost my enthusiasm, optimism or motivation for the start of each new Formula 1 season – and this year is no exception." He said.
As for the testing, he is definitely cautious: "the winter's testing has been so finely balanced that it's particularly difficult accurately to judge who'll be the quickest. And that's fantastic for Formula 1 fans across the globe.
Make no mistake, this will be a long, arduous and difficult campaign, and I'm naturally reluctant to stick my neck out and make any predictions"
Whatever the case is, we are all very excited and counting the minutes for the season to star on happy Friday of March the 16th.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
The latest traffic enforcement products provide officers with advanced acquisition and durability. Photos courtesy of vendors.
A group of officers spent one week evaluating four frontline lidar units and two specialty units for POLICE Magazine. View this gallery for details on each unit, and then read the full results in "Lidar Technology Comes of Age."
Some two decades after its arrival, the speed laser is rapidly becoming a commodity. POLICE Magazine gathered all of the most recent arrivals and spent weeks evaluating their performance, utility, and user-friendliness. Then they were placed in service with a local PD for one week each.
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology has been the "oh, wow" gadget for the past few years, and with good reason. ALPR can identify, screen, and record the license plates of more vehicles than an entire squad of police officers could handle, and can do it with greater accuracy and no fatigue factor.
Anybody who thinks he is going to beat a ticket in court may want to take a look at the latest tools in your arsenal. Here's a quick look at some of the more innovative radar and laser systems on the market.

Maersk Line reaches 2020 CO2 target of 25% reduction; now targeting 40% reduction by 2020
25 January 2013
Maersk Line, the world's largest container shipping company, has reached its 2020 target of reducing CO2 emissions by 25% from its benchmark 2007 levels.
The CO2 emissions of Maersk Line are measured in accordance with the methodology developed by the Clean Cargo Working Group (grams of CO2 per container carried 1 kilometer). The data is independently verified by Lloyd's Register.
We are proud to hit this mark 8 years ahead of schedule. It is confirmation we're on the right track. And to keep that momentum we're raising the target to a 40% reduction in CO2 by 2020.—Morten Engelstoft, Chief Operating Officer, Maersk Line
Engelstoft said that the shipper reached the target largely from a combination of operational efficiency, network and voyage optimisation, slow steaming and technical innovation. The line will see the arrival this year and next of the Triple-E vessels—the largest and most energy efficient ships on the water. (Earlier post.)

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Maersk Line reaches 2020 CO2 target of 25% reduction; now targeting 40% reduction by 2020:
So....20% and even 40% reduction in GHG is possible while making $$$$$$? A good example here?
50 million cars carry, on average, 60 million people who's average weight totals 12 billion pounds.
One cargo ship carries 10,000 TEUs, each TEU holds up to 48,000 pounds.
480 million pounds vs 12 billion leaves a lot of room for improvement.
On board nuclear power plant and/or on-board very large fuel cells may be good alternative cleaner power solutions for large ships?
LNG sounds like a good way to go. They would need the refueling facilities, but if enough worked together they could do it.
CNG is no panacea. Worldwide, it is not at all as cheap as in USA. It is only about 15% to 20% cleaner than high quality diesel fuel and 25% cleaner than coal. It could possibly be somewhat better if used to indirectly feed on board FCs installed in ships and locomotives together with appropriate e-energy storage buffers?
LNG produces fewer particulates, sulfur and benzene than diesel, LNG has been used on LNG tankers for years.
It depends on what is called "pollution", some is more harmful. Their heat recovery method saves fuel which reduces pollution, that can be used with LNG.
The ships could run SOFCs on natural gas and combine cycle them, but that is a major retrofit at huge cost. Making the diesels run LNG in not as costly.
It's also important to note that "high quality diesel" isn't often used in ships. What you need to compare LNG to is "heavy Fuel Oil" (HFO).
HFO is not clean stuff, per unit of energy, natural gas reduces NOx emissions by around 80%, SOx by virtually 100%, CO2 by around 29% and PM by 90%.

How to plan for and mitigate a Barracuda vulnerability

vulnerable to attack. What do these back doors expose on the network, and what can we do to secure them?
Ask the Expert!
Have questions about enterprise security? Send them via email today! (All questions are anonymous.)
According to Barracuda Networks, the affected appliances were Barracuda Spam & Virus Firewall, Barracuda Web Filter, Barracuda Message Archiver, Barracuda SSL VPN, Barracuda Web Application Firewall version 7.6.4 and earlier, and CudaTel.
In a nutshell, Barracuda enabled remote management functionality on those devices as a way of providing support to customers. When a security administrator at Company X runs into problems with his or her device, the admin simply places a call to Barracuda's support desk, and the technician can access the device over the Internet. This is fairly standard practice in the world of IT, right? Microsoft, Cisco and all of the other big boys do business this way all of the time. However, security researchers discovered that attackers could potentially gain access to some of the preconfigured management accounts by bypassing the preconfigured access control lists, giving them full access to the device. What was most disturbing is that Barracuda specializes in firewalls, so one would think that the vendor would have a better handle on the importance of allowing undocumented administrator accounts in its products.
In response to this vulnerability, Barracuda released a series of security definitions that helped to lock down the vulnerable devices better. The company also issued an apology for hardcoding back-door access into its products. As a security best practice, Barracuda recommends that end users place their Barracuda network device behind another firewall that places heavy restrictions on who and what can access the management side of the affected devices, which is something that I wholeheartedly agree with.

The Lakers and 76ers have held discussions involving a swap of Andre Iguodala for Lamar Odom, according to league sources.
The deal would save Philadelphia a significant amount of money, as Odom is entering the final season of his contract while Iguodala is owed a combined $44 million over the next three seasons.
The Lakers would have to include more salary in order for the deal to consummated.

An additional constraint has been introduced, as assistance vehicles will not have access to this bivouac. Vehicles will be parked in a maintenance area, to which only competitors who are involved in the race will have access
From what I recall it is usually typical to have a "marathon stage" with no support trucks for a night. However, usually all racers (bikes, cars, and trucks) are at the same bivouac so the "race trucks" which are really "support trucks" are there to help the bikes. This is the first one I know of where the bikes and quads will not be with the race trucks. Might level the field a bit if the big KTM guys (i.e. Cyril and Mark) truly do have to work on their own bikes.

His parents worried that he wouldn't keep up. "As he grew older, every year he'd be expected to concentrate a little harder and sit a little longer in his seat," his mother says. "When it came time to do his homework, he'd be rolling around under the table or running into the next room. He'd shout out the answers to us. He always knew the answers. He just couldn't sit still to write them down." When Adam turned 10, his parents decided to try the medication. On Adam's first day on Ritalin, he came home from school and declared it a success. "I felt clearer," he told his parents. "I could sit in class and pay attention." The drug wasn't perfect, though. It was tough to get the dosage right. Sometimes it kept him up at night. Sometimes it made him lose weight, which was worrisome for a skinny kid like Adam. His doctor prescribed Ritalin, then Adderall (a different mixture of amphetamine salts), then some others, then back to Ritalin. "There's a little parental guilt involved in giving your child a Schedule II stimulant," says Jeff Leibovitz. "But the bottom line was: Does the medicine work or not?"
Around the same time, Adam began going on bike rides with his father. Jeff is a Category 2 masters racer. He'd attach a trailer cycle to his bike and tempt Adam to come along on Saturday-morning training rides. "I'd lure him with the promise of fresh doughnuts," Leibovitz remembers. The boy took to riding quickly, almost preternaturally.
There was no way Jeff Leibovitz could have known it then, but that simple weekend ritual would eventually change the boy's life.

|All UPS Agencies
|Ronald S. Mitchell, Director
|New Hire Reporting and Multistate Employers
"New Hire Reporting" was legislated to provide for an efficient method of tracking parents to enforce support obligations. The Federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 requires that employers report newly hired employees to a designated state depository, effective October 1, 1997. The depositor for Louisiana is the Department of Social Services (DSS). Attached is a brochure with more information on New Hire Reporting.
Beginning with pay period 09/22/97 - 10/06/97, a new biweekly report, (BL1505-01) REPORT OF NEW HIRES, will provide a listing of any employee who appears on the ON-LINE AUDIT REPORT as an "add". The report will include the name, social security number, and address of those employees, along with the name, address and federal identification number of the employer. Agencies will not be provided a hard copy of this report; however, each payroll it will be available in BUNDL view for 14 days. Until magnetic media specifications are received from DSS, OSUP will forward a hard copy of the report to DSS. Please update your agency's OSUP Payroll Reports Manual with this information; a formal revision will be distributed at a later date.
Eventually, OSUP will report new hire data to DSS via magnetic media. Until that time, reporting for multistate employers (those employers/agencies with employees in more than one state) must be handled by each agency. To comply with multistate reporting, each agency must submit a copy of a W-4 to the designated out-of-state depositor (see attached) within a specified period, usually twenty days, of the employee's date of hire. Each state will have a different designated depositor and may have different reporting requirements and time frames. If, for example, an employee of the La. Department of Natural Resources lives and works in Texas, that agency (DNR) will submit a completed copy of the employee's W-4, plus any additional data required by the State of Texas, to the Child Support Division of the Office of the Attorney General in Texas. The attached brochure includes contact numbers for each state. Multistate employer agencies must contact each state in which they have employees to obtain details on that state's reporting requirements. Agencies are only required to report this information for newly hired employees working in a state other than Louisiana.
If your agency is affected by the multistate employer rules and you require additional information, please contact a member of the User Services Unit at (504):

Findings for PPC in Fremont
Fremont Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in Pacific States
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Fremont was the 10th most expensive city in Pacific States in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of April 2015. Fremont also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in California, ranking 9th. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in Pacific States for keywords, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Fremont Rise in April 2015
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Fremont keywords increased by 12% in April 2015.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 11% Lower in Fremont than Sacramento
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Fremont are 11% lower than in Sacramento. The average price of a click in Fremont is $18.15.
This price differential is expected however, as Sacramento has a larger population than Fremont.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another similarly sized city, Arlington, and found the average price of a click in Fremont was 33% higher than in Arlington.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Sports Illustrated isn't announcing their Sportsman Of The Year until December 1st, but I'll save you the wondering.
Last year I spilled a lot of digital ink telling you who should have won (Joe Maddon, not that drug addict swimmer). This year I could do the same (Ben Zobrist), but could it be any more obvious who'll they'll give it to?
Fifth "world title." Broke (a minor) Lou Gehrig record. Won the Gold Glove and the Silver Slugger (just like Ryan Zimmerman!). Even won the Roberto Clemente Award (for a mix of community/on-field excellence, not for likelihood to die in a plane crash).
But most of all the bastard sells magazines. Oh and really loves winning to an extraordinary extent, let's not forget that.
Who else could beat him? Kobe won his fourth this year, and Phil Jackson his tenth — both are clearly more deserving, but just as clearly less marketable. I can't think of anyone else who could come close to Jeter's mix of coverboyness and 2009/lifetime "achievement."
Feel like watching videos? Over on NESW Sports I got Eight Random Videos #2: Shaq, Iverson, Palin, Nuts up.
how is phil jackson clearly more deserving? by standing there and going "pass michael the ball" and "pass kobe the ball"?
Does anyone really care about SI Sportsman Of The Year? It's seems convoluted to compare athletes across sports. Put this one in the "who cares" category.
Don't forget Jeter is acting in a movie with Marky-Mark, Samuel L. Jackson, The Rock, and Will Ferrel. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com.....8;c_id=nyy This has been one hell of a year for the guy
Ben Zobrist, really? 28-year old has breakout year, I'll say it again, 28-year old. He had a 'nice' year, but it wasn't that special.

DEAR JEANNE AND LEONARD: My parents are establishing a marital trust that calls for my brother "Richard" to inherit both of the homes they own. That's roughly twothirds of their estate, with the remaining one-third going to my sister and me. "Richard" and his family live rent-free in one of these houses, and my parents live in the other, a mountain home that Richard says he loves. Mom and Dad want to make the three of us co-trustees, and they've told us they expect us to have an "unwritten agreement" that my brother will pay my sister and me the difference between his much larger share of their estate and ours. This "agreement" seems crazy to me. Just for starters, unless Richard sold the house he lives in, he wouldn't have the money to make my sister and me whole. Should I talk to my parents about my concerns? — Jo Ann DEAR JO ANN: Has Richard also let your parents know how much he loves their new Mercedes?

HAMDEN ——The largest residential environmental cleanup in state history has begun in the town's Newhall section, a venerable neighborhood of closely clustered former factory housing built on what amounts to a massive landfill.
The project, a decade in the planning, has been received all along the way with skepticism and uncertainty by this community of largely African American homeowners. They are tired of living with sinkholes and digging up car batteries and shell casings from the old Winchester Repeating Arms factory in their back yards, but do they don't have a great deal of faith in the cleanup either.
The area, including a former middle school, ball fields and a park, was polluted by arsenic, lead, heavy metals and partially burned waste from decades of dumping in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to fill the mosquito-infested swamplands of south Hamden. The unfettered dumping solved one problem, but spawned another.
The officials say it will take three to five years and $50 million to $70 million, half paid by state taxpayers, to truck away the dirt and replace it with hundreds of thousands of tons of clean material. The houses will remain, but decks, porches, shrubbery and anything else in the way will be yanked out and replaced.
Some trees have already been removed; the big dig starts in earnest this week on the first wave, 22 homes.
Tough Decision
The contamination goes down 18 feet or more on some of the properties, and residents are questioning whether the 4-foot dig goes deep enough. The state Department of Environmental Protection says four feet of fill is enough to bury any potential threat, but the uncertainty lingers even as the backhoes get to roll Monday morning.
First stop for the heavy equipment: the yard around Charlie Patterson's tidy brick home on Morse Street. Late last week, the 80-year-old former New Haven police officer, paper-supply salesman and small-business owner was wrestling with what to do. His face was creased with consternation.
On Wednesday afternoon, he said he shared the concerns that the cleanup didn't go far enough but was ready to accept the work. Wednesday night, he spoke with the indomitable Elizabeth Hayes, the neighborhood resident leading the opposition, and after that conversation, Patterson decided to sign a statement rescinding the permission he gave to contractors for Olin Corp., the company that is shouldering the other half of the cleanup cost, to come on his property.
Thursday afternoon, Patterson got a visit from the DEP's Raymond Frigon, the project manager, who said Patterson and the rest of the homeowners had the right to reject the service, but if they did, they'd "own'' the contaminated soil and would be responsible for paying for it to be removed. On Thursday evening, Patterson went to visit attorney Howard Lawrence of New Haven, who is advising the coalition that opposes the DEP plan.
Thursday night, Patterson reported on his session with Lawrence.
"His advice was to go ahead and let them do the work,'' Patterson said, adding that he'll heed that guidance. "If they don't do the work properly, then there would be some sort of a course of action in the courts.''
On Friday, Lawrence said: "I've reviewed the science and the promises made by the DEP. My best advice to the homeowners in phase 1 is to accept the service. If the state does it right, then we've done the right thing. If they do it wrong, we can pursue an action. In the spring, when the next phase is about to start, we can see how it went.''
The properties in the first wave have the least amount of contamination, and the DEP has promised that for this group, 100 percent of the tainted soil will be removed, Lawrence said.
Hayes, who lives in the neighborhood but does not have contamination on her property, said she is trying to get the DEP to go down eight feet and needs the whole neighborhood pushing together for that effort to have a chance.
She asked why, if the four-foot cap is sufficient, homeowners are required to disclose the presence of any remaining contaminated soil to prospective buyers when selling their homes?
"If four feet is enough, why not call it clean?'' asked Hayes, who is convinced property values will remain depressed in the neighborhood even after the cleanup.
Frigon, of the DEP, said the disclosure is intended to protect owners of properties with deep contamination in the event that they want to dig down below four feet to build an addition. He said properly owners can dip into a fund being set up to pay for the removal of the deep contamination.

LISBON, Iowa - Council members voted to move forward with an issue that's been ruffling some feathers at Monday's regular city council meeting.
This comes after Chad Franks parked his truck full of chickens outside city hall to protest current city laws, which says it's unlawful to keep chickens unless a special written request is made to the council.
People gathered for a public hearing to voice their opinions about urban chickens in Lisbon.
It was the second time the council has taken up the urban chicken issue. Last month, city leaders said the council put a stop to the discussion after no one showed up to the meeting to voice their thoughts.
Franks said due to health reasons he couldn't be there.
After hearing the news, however, he fought to get his chickens back on the agenda for the council to consider again.
The Lisbon man bought six chickens for his 2-year-old daughter and said he plans to finish this chicken debate that he started.
In the meantime, the city surveyed people on their water bills to get a better feel for what people think.
We asked people to reply yes' or no' if they were for' or against' chickens, and we did have out of over 800 and some people in our billing cycle and about 150 did reply and it was a pretty split vote, said Interim City Administrator Connie Meier.
Meier said people who voted for the chickens were slightly ahead.
Franks said he was happy the council voted for the chickens as well during the council meeting.
I think it's long overdue. I don't know. This isn't my favorite thing to do to come to these city council meetings. I have been here for 28 years and haven't cared to attend one until this one little thing, and now I am stuck going to them until they pass [it], Franks said.
The new ordinance allows residents to have six chickens in the city as long as they get a permit. It also provides rules for proper care and lets the city go inspect the coops at any time.
The council will vote on this two more times.

Jack D. McConnell, 87, a resident of Green Township in Noble County, passed away at 6:15 a.m. Monday, Oct. 21, 2013, at the home of his son in Green Township following an extended illness.
Mr. McConnell was born April 5, 1926, in Green Township, a son of Isaac W. and Oma (Diffendarfer) McConnell. He spent his formative years there and graduated from Churubusco High School in 1944.
CHURUBUSCO — A decline in enrollment turned out to not be as grim as initially forecasted.
Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS) adopted its 2014 budget officially Monday. A total general fund of $7,498,714 was passed 4-0.
The situation is assisted by transfer numbers, which boosted enrollment. For the district, Fleetwood projected a decline of 12 students. It ended up being just a decline of five from last year.
Superintendent Galen Mast said that approximately 100 students in the school system have transferred in from outside the district.
COLUMBIA CITY— A woman accused of violating the terms of her probation will have the matter resolved next month.
Rita Elswick,19, was sentenced to eight years, with four to serve and four on suspended sentence, for dealing in methamphetamine.
She received this sentence in September. However, Judge James Heuer placed her on suspended sentence until March 17, 2014.
There were several reasons for this decision. Elswick is expecting a child in February.
Heuer also wished for Elswick to complete her high school education at the T.R.O.Y. Center.
LIGONIER — Whitko's volleyball team saw its season end against West Noble in a sectional quarterfinal Tuesday.
The Lady Chargers beat the Lady Wildcats 25-15, 22-25, 25-21 and 25-19.
"(We) could not put together consistent strings of points to beat an enthusiastic West Noble team tonight," said Whitko Volleyball Head Coach Brandy Smith.
Smith said the season did not end the way the team wanted it to, but she is happy with the progress of the team and excited for the future of the volleyball program.
COLUMBIA CITY— "I was just here to serve dinner."
Jill Daniel, owner of Daniel Menu & Party Consulting, expressed her surprise at receiving the Whitley County Chamber of Commerce's Small Business of the Year Award Tuesday night.
So many local merchants were nominated, that Chamber Executive Director Doug Brown said there was not time to name them all.
He cited Daniel for the hard work of her local business, and read notes of congratulations to her from her sons — Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel and Jeff Daniel.
WHITLEY COUNTY— Conventional sports wisdom says that, to be the best, one must beat the best.
That sage advice will be put to the test for Columbia City and Churubusco's high school volleyball teams this week.
Both schools, competing in Class 3A and 2A, respectively, have highly-ranked foes standing in their way on the path to a sectional title.
For Columbia City, the foe is a conference rival. Bellmont beat the Lady Eagles in three sets earlier this season.
COLUMBIA CITY — With the first frost of the season hitting the county less than a week ago, many find it hard to believe winter is just around the corner.
Tuesday evening brought the season's first snow showers, and Columbia City's Street Department is already prepared for the upcoming winter weather.
While Tuesday night's flurries didn't amount to any accumulation, this year's Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "bitterly cold" winter — "cold, wet and white."

Norman Finkelstein Debates Former Israeli Foreign Minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami
"NORMAN FINKELSTEIN: Well, on the issue of terrorism, I agree with Dr. Ben-Ami's definition. It's the indiscriminate targeting of civilians to achieve political ends. That's a capsule definition, but I think for our purposes it suffices. What does the record show? Let's limit ourselves to just the Second Intifada, from September 28 to the present. The period for that period, the record shows approximately 3,000 Palestinians have been killed, approximately 900 Israelis have been killed. On the Palestinian side and the Israeli side — I'm now using the figures of B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories — on the Palestinian and the Israeli side roughly one-half to two-thirds of the total number were civilians or bystanders. And if you look at the findings of the human rights supports — B'Tselem, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Physicians for Human Rights in Israel, and so forth — they all say that Israel uses reckless indiscriminate fire against Palestinians, and B'Tselem says when you have so many civilian casualties, you have, you know, 600 Palestinian children who have been killed, which is the total number of Israeli civilians killed. 600 Palestinian children killed.
They said when you have so much, so many civilians killed — I don't particularly like the phrase "collateral damage" — when you have so many civilians killed, B'Tselem says it hardly makes a difference whether you are purposely targeting them or not, the state has responsibility. So, you could say Israel — using numbers, now — is responsible for three times as much terrorism in the Occupied Territories as Palestinians against Israel. That's the question of terrorism.
Let's turn to an ancillary issue: the issue of torture. Now, the estimates are, up to 1994-1995, that Israel tortured — and I'm using the language of Human Rights Watch and B'Tselem — Israel has tortured tens of thousands of Palestinian detainees. Israel was the only country in the world, the only one, which had legalized torture from 1987 to 1999. The record on torture, on house demolitions and on targeted —
SHLOMO BEN-AMI: 1999 is when we came to office.
NORMAN FINKELSTEIN: Well, I wish that were — I wish that were the saving grace, but . . .
the fact of the matter is, being faithful to historical record, the record of Labour has been much worse on human rights violations than the record of Likud. It's a fact that the only Israeli government during the period from 1967 to the present which temporarily suspended torture was Begin from 1979 to 1981. On the record of house demolitions, Mr. Rabin used to boast that he had demolished many more homes than any Likud government. Even on the record of settlements, as Dr. Ben-Ami well knows, the record of Rabin was worse in terms of settlement expansion than the record of Yitzhak Shamir, and a fact he leaves out in the book, the record of Barak on housing startups in the Occupied Territories — "
AMY GOODMAN: Building more houses?
NORMAN FINKELSTEIN: Yeah — was worse than the record of Netanyahu. It's a paradox for, I'm sure, American listeners, but the record on human rights, an abysmal record in general, an abysmal record in general, and in particular, the worst record is the record of Labour, not Likud.
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Ben-Ami?
SHLOMO BEN-AMI: Well, he's — Dr. Finkelstein already said what needs to be said about the end of the practices or the legal status of tortures in 1999. . . ."

A long, rambling debate. What's the point?
Israel is the front line, so this discussion is important. Sometimes it is a little exasperating, though.
The Palestinians STARTED the intifada; they are the ones whose ideology allows for killing civilians. Israel has bent over backwards to try and solve the problem through concessions and the Palestinians continue to say "no dice."
I am far from an expert but the impression I have is Israel is playing by the rules of Western Civilization and the Palestinians play by the rules of no civilization at all.
Interesting that Labour has a spottier record than Likud on "human rights."
You have to admire the Israelis, after all they've been through, that human rights is still even a consideration.
Gee, Joe maybe the Palestinians have a few grievances, too. And your idea that you should throw out human rights if you've been through too much, kinda sounds like what the U.S. is doing now so I guess you do have to admire the Israelis since they have been through a lot more than we have. But I guess we're just wimps.
Lovely, Zimzo, just lovely. The Palestinian grievances entitle them to massacre civilians. Give me a break. The Palestinians could have a secure country right now if they were not inundated with sick ideology.
And I thought you were a liberal! What gives? Let's try a thought-experiment: Imagine you have the opportunity to relocate to either Tel Aviv or Gaza. Which would you choose? I'm guessing Tel Aviv would be much more similar to a U.S. city.
So why don't you support the people who have managed to establish a tiny reflection of the West in the hellhole that is the Middle East?
For god's sake, if you have a shred of honesty you have to admit Israel is a bastion of civilization in one of the most uncivilized places on Earth.
I see so every Palestinian is responsible for the massacre of Israeli citizens by terrorists. And because they are all responsible for the terrorist acts of some Palestinians I guess they're not entitled to any rights. But then following that logic I suppose every Israeli would be responsible for the Israelis who killed innocent Palestinians and all Americans are responsible for all of the bad things George Bush does. Which I guess is why our rights are being taken away. Because we don't deserve them. Brilliant understanding of the Middle East problem Joe!
Zimzo, that is not a bad point. I'll admit I do not have a huge amount of sympathy for the Palestinian people simply because their political reps are such murderous a-holes. But the celebrations on the Palestinian street on 9-11-01 also make me think the Palestinian people are suspect.
Maybe it's ok to dislike the Palestinians since they dislike us.
Not that I dislike them as a whole. I'm sure there is a solid constituency who think Yassar Arafat had robbed them blind and advocated needlessly for continual war against Israel.
But the Palestinians sure seem to be the bad guys in this conflict. If you want to argue otherwise be my guest. But the logic of your argument is not making a lot of sense so far.
The Palestinians elected those "murderous a-holes" to represent them.
Did you, Zimzo, do everything you legally could to prevent W's re-election? If not, you are partially responsible for his victory and subsequent actions.
This, of course, is the same argument the terrorists use, that no innocent lives were lost on 9/11 because all Americans were collectively guilty of things that were done by the American government. Reducing the world into "good guys" and "bad guys" may help you not tax your brain too much but its not a particularly intelligent basis for a foreign policy.
I guess if Americans were dancing and passing out candy in the streets every time the Israeli military killed some Palestinian civilians your parallel argument would work.
Americans don't need to dance in the streets. They have right-wing talk radio.
...and left-wing TV and newspapers.
Right wing talk radio? Who told you about that? That was supposed to be a secret.
Now we have to find somewhere else to celebrate Palestinian hardships.
Party at Zimzo's house!!
One thing I will say here is that I'm not sure Joe and Jack actually read the whole thing. It is long, I could hardly blame one.
You should look into differing points of view on the subject and do a little perspective taking. Blowing people up on buses and in marketplaces is deplorable behavior. So are a lot of things you don't hear about on the other side unless you make a concerted effort to learn about the issue and about why the Palestinians are so angry and upset. Do you seriously think it's just because they are hot-headed, irrational people who are acting on a thrill to reach paradise? Or do you think there might be rational reasons they might be pissed off?
By the way, now that the current administration is pushing to redefine ONE WORD do you think our adversaries will see us any less antagonistically than they already do? Do not legalize torture, it's unamerican. And certainly not Christ-like.
"Maybe it's ok to dislike the Palestinians since they dislike us."
this is true wisdom, and the path to a brighter future for all mankind
but seriously, Joe, your comment on, "where would you rather go, Gaza or Tel Aviv? Tel Aviv of course!" might be a clue in understanding the Palestinian point of view.
I think this has gone on so long that there's no "Good Side" and "Bad Side" Both sides have plenty of fodder for framing the other as a bunch of savage animals if they want to.
but look at this map:
sorry, it's a french map. ;) but I think you can interpret it. The green is Palestinian land, everything else is Israeli-controlled. It's a joke! On the other hand, when Israel gives them more land, that's more staging ground for the more extreme elements of the Palestinian population. so it's a complete stalemate, and the longer it continues, the more people sympathize with the more extreme points of view (on both sides), the more impossible it becomes to reach a solution.
on another note, it's un-Americans to put security above freedom.
Hezbolla and Hamas want Israel destroyed. The PLO was offered a homeland, and the offer was rejected.
Maybe they do have reason to be angry, but that does not justify terrorist attacks. Guerilla warfare is acceptable. Terrorism is not.
Two questions: What would Hamas and Hezbolla do if Israel disarmed? What would Israel do if Hezbolla and Hamas disarmed?
Hamas and Hezbolla are hungry for power and influence, and they're exploiting the situation of the Palestinian population to those ends. So Israel cannot disarm because these groups would probably compete against each other to get the props for being the ones who defeated the evil Israel.
It seems like these groups have created a nice little catch-22 for themselves. If Israel backs off, they gain influence by claiming victory over Israel, if Israel clamps down, they say, "join us in resisting the great satan" or whatever rhetoric.
There's also the problem that a lot of israelis are Europeans who moved there. No wonder Tel Aviv is so western-like; most Israelis are westerners. So it isn't hard to see why the indigenous population sees them as occupiers, and the extreme factions within the palestinians are able to rally the troops with talk of a modern day crusade.
There's also some weirdness with Israel having to be a Jewish state. This is kind of a unique situation in the world, and even though Israel is democratic, it's forced to sort of customize the constituency. A one-state solution wouldn't be a problem if an arab majority was acceptable to Israel.
So what can the solution be? Personally, I think the solution is economic. Someone needs to come up with a plan to make these two states economically dependant on each other. I don't know how. I also think it's important for the Palestinian state to be a continuous state (as opposed to the swiss cheese plan from the map in my previous post), otherwise they're always going to feel, and indeed BE, subordinate to Israel, and that's no way to foster peace and reconciliation
oh, if Hamas and Hezbollah disarmed, Israel would implement a 2-state plan based on the "swiss cheese map" Before long, the Palestinians would begin to recognize that they had the short end of the bargain, and we'd have another Intifada, followed by another Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, etc. etc. etc.
In biblical times, the Israelis would have slaughtered every last palestinian (in the name of God, of course) and that would be that. I don't think that's going to fly anymore...
...but here's a purely hypothetical question, based on your support for the Iraq war on the grounds that it will ultimatly save lives: what we knew for sure that the path to saving the most lives and restoring peace to a volatile region involved dismantling Israel, and the only outcome of Israel's continued existence was the endless cycle of violence and extremism that we have now. What path would you take?
Stay Puft, excellent points. Up to the last one. And it's a good point, I'll grant you.
After 9-11 someone suggested moving Israel to Baja California - if they could make something out of that arid section of the Levant they could probably turn Baja into a verdant paradise.
But in reality, Israel is what it is, and it's not going anywhere.
If we're going to engage in hypotheticals, let's think about what might be happening now if "Palestine" was still just Palestine. I submit the Middle East would still be a mess. Al Qaida did not mention the "Palestinians" until weeks after 9-11. The West would still be a huge problem for Islam, and vice versa.
We took out Hussein because he threatened us and our allies. Israel does not.
The statement "There's also some weirdness with Israel having to be a Jewish state", is akin to asking, "Must Japan be Japanese? What else should it be? The Jews were kicked out of their homeland by the Romans long ago and returned in the last century. Most of the land was either paid for (pre-1948), or won outright when the Arabs declared war in 1948 and attacked. Any other country that would be attacked by ALL its neighbors and beating them off would be celebrated.
The concept of "Palestinian Arabs" did not exist until the 1948 war, and most would have become part of the Syria, Jordan etc, but ALL of these states cynically did not allow them to apply for citizenship and kept them in camps for years. It is from this practise, coupled with some Russian funding and training, that the PLO was born. And the world has been soo much better for it.
So yes, Israel needs to be Jewish because it has a natural right to be, just as Switzerland has the right to be Swiss. The fact that the current Arab culture is rascist, bigoted and homicidal, only gives the Israelis even more cause to maintain a majority in their own country.
-JA the returning con
OK, I said it makes things weird, not that it should be different. Just because you can't remove the wrench from the gears doesn't change the fact that there is a wench in the gears.
I don't think Israel should be dismantled (I said nothing about Israel posing a threat to us), but you must admit that Israel's existence is the source of a lot of conflict in the region. You can't expect 6 million Palestinians to just roll over and play dead for the Israelis. Every time some radical spouts off about the West, Israel is included in that.
The idea that Jews were expelled by the Romans is kind of a contentious issue. Loads of them left the area at that time, but it's unclear that they were expelled. They were indeed exiled by the Babylonians, and also when 'they' were enslaved by Egypt. The trouble is, and the archaeological record shows this conclusively, every time the people were exiled, some of them stayed behind. Under the Babylonian exile, the big wigs in all the towns and cities were banished, but a lot of the common folk stayed behind. And every time the population in exile, or its descendants, returns to the land, there is conflict between them and the ones who stayed behind. My guess is that if this cycle continues as it has for the last 5 or 6 thousand years, at some point in the future, Palestinians living in exile will return to the land and claim it as theirs based on tradition and legend.
What are you doing with that wench, anyway?
Yes, Israel existence is a bone lodged in the gullet of the Palestinians. As far as I can tell, based on the words of their leaders, they will not be happy until Israel is destroyed. That is not a good starting point for negotiations.
well, leaders talk rhetorically, it's just what they do (ie. "they hate our freedom") the problem is that a lot of people feel like the Israeli's, with the aid of "the west" stole their land and put them in fenced-in camps with curfews and periodic raids with bulldozers and whatnot. It's not the sort of anger that just goes away in a day or a month.
Maybe they need something like the peace and reconciliation thing in South Africa. They need a Mandela or a Gandhi or something, I don't know...
