By Chris RuddickMLB Editor
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) -
If you believe the reports that are coming in, it appears as if the defending world champion Chicago White Sox are on the verge of making an already powerful lineup even better with the possible acquisition of Washington Nationals slugger Alfonso Soriano.
It was no secret that the Nationals were shopping the All-Star Soriano, but the White Sox didn't figure to be major players in the sweepstakes. Offense is nowhere near the problem in Chicago, as the Sox already have three potential 40-home run threats in their lineup in Jim Thome, Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye.
Unless Soriano is going to bridge the gap to Bobby Jenks in the seventh and eighth innings or unless he is going to be able to get starters Mark Buehrle, Javier Vazquez and Freddy Garcia back on track I just don't see how this makes sense for the Southsiders.
Sure you are getting an outstanding player in Soriano, but giving up any prospect for a player that could be around for the next 10 weeks and then bolt makes little sense to me. Especially when he does not address the team's glaring weaknesses in the rotation and bullpen. I know the team acquired Mike MacDougal from Kansas City on Monday, but he won't be confused with Mariano Rivera anytime soon.
Chicago general manager Ken Williams has said that 23-year-old right-hander Brandon McCarthy will not be part of any Soriano deal, but initial reports have indicated otherwise
I guess if you are in favor of the deal you can make the argument that there just aren't any difference-making starting pitchers available and the asking prices on some of the relievers are just astronomical.
Supposedly Chicago inquired about San Diego setup man Scott Linebrink only to be told that it would cost them Triple-A All-Star third baseman Josh Fields, another player Williams will supposedly not part with.
So with that said I guess if you are going to give up a top prospect you might as well give him away for someone the caliber of a player like Soriano. Plus, and more importantly, you keep him away from the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers, two teams that you are competing directly with and were rumored to be going hard after him
I think the deal is not as close to being finalized as it is being let on, though. I do think Soriano will be moved, but it won't be to the White Sox. I still think the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are the team that is going to get him.
Soriano, who if moved will become just the third player in major league history traded in-season with at least 30 home runs, makes too much sense for the Angels not to get him. They have a ton of young talent to offer and who better to provide protection to Vladimir Guerrero than Soriano.
I will say this. If the Angels get Soriano, they will win the World Series this season. Mark it down. Considering I am right on my predictions 30-percent of the time, though, I wouldn't put much stock in that statement.
If Soriano is indeed dealt to Chicago it could set off a number of moves. LA might pull the trigger on a deal that could net it Miguel Tejada or the Yankees might be more inclined to include prospect Philip Hughes in a deal for Bobby Abreu.
However, after watching Sidney Ponson in Toronto the other day, the Yanks should get Hughes up in the Bronx now. How much worse could he do than Ponson?
Detroit has also been mentioned in some potential deals for a slugger, but the Tigers will likely stand pat. They are starting to run away with the AL Central and can pretty much cruise to their first postseason trip in 19 years.
More likely than not though with all these big names being thrown around, nothing is going to happen. Last year there were a total of five trades completed at the trade deadline. And not one of the players made a significant contribution to a playoff team.
Let's take a look at some of the bigger names that will be available as Monday's deadline draws near.
Bobby Abreu - A few weeks ago I thought for sure he was headed somewhere. However, his price tag ($31 million over the next two seasons) is scaring people off. Especially since Phils general manager Pat Gillick is not looking at any potential Abreu deal as a salary dump. He wants major league ready talent in return. Good luck with that.
Pat Burrell - Gillick is finding it hard to find a taker for Burrell. I don't know why. Who wouldn't want a disinterested outfielder hitting .260 that makes close to $10 million a season. St. Louis and Baltimore, though, could be willing trade partners.
Carlos Lee - A free agent at the end of the year, but probably will stay put. In fact for the first time in a long while the Brewers may actually be buyers at the deadline, as they are just 4 1/2 games back of the NL wild card.
Miguel Tejada - If the Angels can't pull off a deal for Soriano their attention will definitely shift towards Tejada. An AL MVP in 2002 Tejada has struggled at times this season, but a change of scenery may just be the shot of B-12 he needs.
Julio Lugo - The Mets were supposedly interested before the season began and are probably still interested. It would probably cost them reliever Aaron Heilman. Omar Minaya maybe a little gun shy dealing with Tampa after his predecessor made one of the worst deals in the history of baseball with the Devil Rays at the trade deadline a few years back.
Freddy Garcia/Javier Vazquez - Chicago has let it be known that it is willing to deal starting pitching for a reliever. The Mets were rumored to have interest in one of the White Sox's arms, but may not be willing to part with either Heilman or Duaner Sanchez. However, if McCarthy is part of the deal for Soriano I doubt one of these two will be available.
Greg Maddux - Anyone interested in a 300-game winner and a future Hall of Famer? Milwaukee supposedly made overtures a few weeks back and that makes sense considering Maddux's brother Mike is the pitching coach for the Brewers.
Jon Lieber - One of the Phillies that actually does have some trade value. Pitched well for the Yanks in the postseason in 2004 and could be headed back to the Bronx. Boston and St. Louis are also possible destinations.
Barry Zito - General manager Billy Beane has stated that he won't deal Zito, but recently has made overtures that that may not be the case. Will likely stay put and help the A's win a division title then leave after the season.
Livan Hernandez - An innings eater that will be coveted by any team looking for a starter. Has got it done in the past in the postseason. He, like Tejada, probably just needs a change of scenery.
Tom Gordon - Teams should be banging down Gillick's door to get him. And Gillick should do anything in his power to dump him. At 38 years old his value will never be higher than it is right now. Buyer beware though, Flash has a tendency to disappear once the postseason begins.
Roberto Hernandez - Reportedly close to being acquired by the Yankees. A veteran of 16 years, Hernandez will hopefully fill the role Kyle Farnsworth and Octavio Dotel were supposed to fill in bridging the gap to Mariano Rivera.

The month of May is been named in honor of the goddess of death and fertility. Maia, one of the so-called mountain goddesses, who, along with her sisters was chased by Orion and turned into doves in order to keep them safe. On the first day of May, she was sacrificed by the Vulcan priest to a pregnant sow.
May Day is celebrated on May 1 in very different ways around the world. The ancient festival was called Beltane by the Celts, it is the Pagan celebration of the renewal of life and is possibly the oldest of all religious festivals in the northern hemisphere. Beltane was celebrated as the day which divided the year in half, with the other half being Samhain on November 1. Beltane was celebrated by setting a fire, which was thought to give life to the spring sun, after which cattle were chased through the fire for purification, and finally couples would walk through the smoke, which was said to give them good luck.
When the Romans occupied the British Isles, they celebrated Floralia, in honor of the goddess of flowers, Flora. The celebration lasted from April 28 to May 2, and the two festivals were eventually melded together. It was from this coupling of celebrations and rituals that the tradition of the maypole, or tree of life, was born.
The Library of Congress is in charge of the month-long celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. The library offers its online resources about Asian Pacific American history and culture, which contain more than two million books, newspapers, and periodicals as well as manuscripts and electronic items. The month of May was chosen for the celebration because of its significance in Japanese-American history as May 7, 1843, was the first wave of Japanese immigration in the United States, and on May 10, 1869, the transcontinental railroad was completed, and the majority of those who built the tracks were Chinese immigrants.
The National Barbecue Association designates every May annual National Barbecue Month and it invites members, restaurateurs, and barbecue aficionados spend the month celebrating and promoting the flavor and fun of barbecuing by planning events and promoting sales.
More eggs are sold during the Easter season than any other time of the year. After that, sales take a nosedive, which is why National Egg Month was established in the month of May. Hens keep laying eggs after Easter, and so the price of eggs go down.
National Backyard Games Week is designed to bring families and friends together through fun outdoor activities. It is celebrated every year from the Monday before to Memorial Day to the Monday of Memorial Day. This year will be the seventh annual event and was started by a Beloit, Wisconsin, toy manufacturer.
This year, Memorial Day falls on May 25. Considered by many as the official beginning of summer, it is the first day that the fashion police allow women to wear white shoes. It is also the day that Americans observe the holiday that commemorates its servicemen and women who died while serving the United States. It was originally called Decoration Day and honored Union soldiers of the Civil War, though after World War I, it was expanded to include all American casualties of any military action. Americans across the country celebrate the long weekend with friends and family at picnics and barbecues.
Famous people with birthdays in May include Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Orson Welles, Emilio Estevez, Fred Astaire, Clint Eastwood, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Eva Peron, Harry S. Truman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Patrick Henry.

USDA Grants Protection to 29 New Plant Varieties
AMS No. 270-10
Hakim Fobia (202)690-0488
WASHINGTON, March 1, 2011 -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued certificates of protection to developers of 29 new varieties of seed-reproduced and tuber-propagated plants. They include bluegrass, fescue, mustard, onion, ryegrass, sorghum and watermelon.
The Plant Variety Protection Act provides legal protection in the form of intellectual property rights to developers of new varieties of plants.
A certificate of protection is awarded to an owner of a crop variety after an examination shows that it is new, distinct from other varieties, and genetically uniform and stable through successive generations, said Administrator Rayne Pegg, Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The public benefits as the recipient of lower prices from increased productivity, and from quality food, feed, fiber and other products, that result directly from improved plant varieties.
The term of protection is 20 years for most crops, and 25 years for trees, shrubs and vines. The owner of a protected variety has exclusive rights to multiply and market the seed of that variety.
The 29 certificates are:
--the Sudden Impact variety of Kentucky bluegrass, developed by J.R. Simplot Company, Post Falls, Idaho;
--the Katie and Rhythm varieties of Kentucky bluegrass, developed by DLF International Seeds, Halsey, Ore.;
--the Blue-Rriffic variety of Kentucky bluegrass, developed by Pure-Seed Testing, Inc., Hubbard, Ore.;
--the PENN RK4, Cochise IV, 3rd Millennium, Traverse and Rhambler varieties of tall fescue, developed by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, N.J.;
--the Gazelle II and Dynamic II varieties of tall fescue, developed by Pure-Seed Testing, Inc., Hubbard, Ore.;
--the Shenandoah Sport variety of tall fescue, developed by NexGen Turf Research, LLC, Albany, Ore.;
--the Pacific Gold* variety of india mustard, developed by Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station, Moscow, Idaho;
--the NuMex Serenade* variety of onion, developed by New Mexico Agricultural Experiment Station, Las Cruces, N.M.;
--the Catalina II, Quicksilver, Manhattan 4 and Silver Dollar varieties of perennial ryegrass, developed by Pure-Seed Testing, Inc., Hubbard, Ore.;
--the Charismatic variety of perennial ryegrass, developed by Lebanon Seaboard Corporation, Huntsville, UT & Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, N.J.;
--the PHBNS1BLIT, PHKUKZQKE, PHBKKCBVIE, PHKUWMVKE, PHBKCKBVIT and PHOUOVXKT varieties of sorghum, developed by Pioneer Hi-Bred, International, Inc., Plainview, Texas;
--the R07007 variety of sorghum, developed by Texas AgriLife Research, College Station, Texas; and
--the 4XCS34, 4XASSS4 and 4XMSAS varieties of watermelon, developed by Syngenta Seeds, Inc., Nampa, Idaho.
*In the United States, seed of this variety shall be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed, and shall conform to the number of generations specified by the owner of the rights (84 STAT. 1542, as amended, 7 U.S.C. 2321 ET SEQ).
AMS administers the Plant Variety Protection Act, which provides time-limited marketing protection to developers of new and distinct seed-reproduced and tuber-propagated plants ranging from farm crops to flowers.

Society Hill, South Carolina
South Carolina Darlington County Society Hill
Society Hill is located in the northern portion of Darlington County on US 15.
Just prior to the Revolutionary War, a group of prosperous planters from nearby Long Bluff formed the St. David's Society to promote education in the area. The War interrupted their work, but in 1777, they built St. David's Academy on a hill about a mile from town. The Academy attracted the colonies' most highly educated tutors to the area.
Around the same time, a well-established baptist church moved from the east side of the Pee Dee River to the lot adjacent to the school. The village that grew up around the school and the church was first known as Greenville, but the name was soon changed to Society Hill in reference to St. David's. The original town of Long Bluff was eventually abandoned in favor of the new village on the hill.
Society Hill, with its old, respected, and influential baptist church; its academy; and its library society was recognized as the cultural center of the Pee Dee Region well into the 19th century.
Hartsville is the largest city near Society Hill. Here is a map of the Hartsville area.

2. Upgrading Embedded Design Firmware via USB (By Rakesh Reddy) – http://www.eetimes.com/design/other/4026877/Upgrading-Embedded-Design-Firmware-via-USB
3. Common USB Development Mistakes – You Don't Have To Make Them All Yourself! – (By Steve Kolokowsky and
Feb 19, 2010
A print ad in 'Spirit' - Southwest Airline's inflight magazine - caught my eye. Quite predictably, my colleague and I flicked a copy .. for keeps. A few discussions later this USB ad warranted a blog post.
It is always a pleasant surprise to see the developer community (USB-IF in this case) attempt to make the world more aware of the underlying technologies that drive our day to day gadgets. The fact is overwhelming - 6 BILLION USB devices! Thats more than the # of phones in the world. Thats even more than the # of toothbrushes in the world (last I know there are only 5B of these)!
I like the clarity of message - buzz words like charging, plug and play, ease-of-use are mentioned explicitly to highlight why USB has been so successful. Also, I like the strategy of promoting USB2.0 (Hi-Speed) and USB3.0 (SuperSpeed) which is the next wave in USB development.
Skeptics would argue "who is this really addressed to?" They may say - A layperson might just flip through the page and an engineer might find it too 'marketing oriented'.
Regardless of the downsides - I think its a great attempt. Jeff Ravencraft (president of the USB-IF) and team - I applaud your efforts. The USB ecosystem (which includes Cypress as a dominant player) only stands to gain from this.
Feb 02, 2010
A friend once told me that USB is genius. "You can charge your device while transferring data. Brilliant!"
The simplicity of connecting my phone to the computer for a quick 'synch and go', and the flexibility of charging it while I drive to work everyday, always remind me of my friend's remark about USB – "Brilliant!".

- Jack Wilshere has handed Arsenal and England a major boost with news his foot injury isn't as bad as first feared.
New checks by the Gunners' medical staff on the hairline fracture suffered by the midfielder on international duty have revealed he could return by mid-April.
- Manchester City are capable of winning ALL of their last 11 games to clinch the Premier League title, says Manuel Pellegrini.
However, the Citizens will have to attempt that without top goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who has been ruled out for a further two games with injury.

Houma-Terrebonne Soccer Association: Blackhawk Dev Program for U9 & U10s
Registration for Fall 2015 BDP now open!
To Register for BDP (Blackhawk Development Program) click HERE!
Thursday, June 4
Overview: The Blackhawk Development Program (BDP) is an Academy program for U9 and U10 players. The BDP is designed to act as a bridge between our recreational and competitive programs by offering additional training to build skills and further technical development.
What is an Academy Program? An Academy Program is designed to offer a higher level of training by trained coaches at younger ages. It also offers maximum flexibility of rosters. Therefore, players in the BDP will not necessarily be assigned to a team and depending on the numbers could be playing on a different team from week to week. The BDP is not an "All-star" team. The BDP will play 8v8 on a larger field than rec and play longer games. Coaches will be encouraged to follow the 50% play rule.
The BDP for the 2015/2016 season will be an optional addition to the rec program. Therefore, all players must register as normal for recreational soccer. Recreational teams and schedules will not be affected and players cannot play in the BDP only. Click Here to register for Fall Recreational Soccer
BDP Schedule: A tentative schedule has been developed to give parents an idea about the commitment. There will be two weeks of concentrated training before the rec season in fall and spring. During the rec season there will be Friday night training and on every other Sunday there will be scrimmages or friendlies. The BDP teams will play in one tournament in the fall and one in the spring. For a tentative schedule, click prior Link.
The BDP will be a program that develops coaches and managers for the competitive program. For 2014/2015 season there will be one head coach assigned to the boys and one head coach assigned to the girls. Depending on numbers, additional coaches will be added to the program.
Cost: $100 per season ($100 for the Fall & $100 for the Spring)
To register reply to firstname.lastname@example.com with the name of the player and birthdate. Fees will be collected by your BDP coach.
I am looking for at least one manager on the boy's side and girl's side of the program. Please do not hesitate to call or email me with questions. I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the pitch.
Bobby Leaber
BDP Director

France on Sunday said it would replace its Serval operation in Mali that broke the grip of Islamists in the north with a sweeping initiative covering the broad, largely unruly Sahel region.
Launched in January 2013, the Serval operation initially sent 2,500 French troops to northern Mali to help local soldiers push out Islamists and Taureg rebels from the country's dry vast north who seized control after a coup.
The new operation, dubbed Barkhan, will start in the coming days together with five countries - Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad - in the Sahel-Sahara region, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Sunday in a television interview.
The operation aimed at combating extremist violence would consist of around 3,000 French soldiers, 1,000 of whom would stay based in northern Mali and the rest deployed to the other four countries.
Le Drian said that drones, helicopters and fighter jets would be used.
"The president wanted a reorganisation of our troops in the (Sahel) zone," Le Drian said.
France had initially planned to pull troops out of Mali in May but fresh clashes between rebels and the army in the northern town of Kidal prolonged the operation.
Le Drian said the effort had been successful but that concern has shifted to countries in the wider area to ensure that there is no upsurge in terrorism.
"There are still major risks that jihadists will develop in the zone that goes from the Horn Africa to Guinea-Bissau," Le Drian said.
Le Drian also brought the security risks home by adding that the aim is to prevent a global highway for jihadist groups.
"It's our security which is at stake," he said.

Death Toll In Bangladesh Factory Collapse Surpasses 650
The grim toll from the collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh last month has risen to more than 650, as more bodies have been pulled from the rubble of the eight-story complex.
The number of people confirmed dead has now reached 657, CNN quoted Col. Sheikh Zaman, a military official overseeing the recovery operation in Savar, as saying.
Meanwhile, Adidas said Monday that it is encouraging workers in Asian factories where its popular sports gear is produced to use a new hotline to report possible grievances.
The Germany-based Adidas AG said in a statement that workers had only to "send an SMS [to the hotline] when they feel their rights are breached."
The Associated Press says: "Adidas' efforts to improve control of labor conditions coincide with a renewed debate on working conditions at the suppliers of Western firms in the wake of deadly incidents in Bangladesh's garment industry."
As we have reported, last month's collapse of Rana Plaza has put several Western retailers supplied by factories in Bangladesh in a difficult position, forcing some of them to take a stand on poor working conditions in the country.

So, as most of you know, we are in a home that has not been updated since it was built in the 60s. We love the character, but we don't love these wonderful details…
I have always wanted a picket fence, just not this one
We participated in the *junkrestore* market this weekend and I bought these beauties from one of our amazing vendor Shabby Junker!
This inspired my hubby and I to get busy on the kitchen. Down the road, we plan to do a full reno of the kitchen (Dream land) but for now we needed to make it at least a little cute.
My little men jumped at the opportunity to "help"
Yes, we are painting over wallpaper. I would normally not do this, but these walls will be coming down eventually, so I wanted to put as little time and effort in this project as possible to make it cute until the big redo.
We primed the walls and it opened up the kitchen already!
I have a dilemma though. We will not be replacing the counter tops until the big redo, so we have to live with these ugly things.
They are a speckled off white and tan with really dark and dirty grout. Believe it or not, these are sparkly clean. Yuck!
I would normally do white cabinets and white walls and use the EAT sign as the pop of color, but I fear the counter top will look worse against all white. So I was thinking dark grey cabinets and a cream color on the wall.
I also am planning on painting our old fridge with chalkboard paint.
What do you think?

I've just seen the practice times for this weekend's Spanish GP and declared to the office – or the two people within earshot anyway – that I'd love to see Williams win another GP.
Everyone was curious as to why.
I think it's the ethos of the team to be honest. Rumour has it that Frank Williams is a bit of an awkward chap to work for, but that doesn't bother me.
He's created a team that doesn't pander to egos – remember Mansell in '92? – and is entirely focused on simply getting the job done.
I like the way it's still independent after all these years, and that it harks back to the days of F1 when marketing and PR didn't play such an integral part.
Maybe that's the key.
Williams' success reminds me of when I first got into F1, when Nigel Mansell was an absolute hero of mine, when things were entirely black and white and there seemed to be an incredible honesty to the F1 circus.
Of course that's all rose-tinted viewing, but it's what I remember. Williams doing well again would bring a bit of that nostalgia back.

Sam and Rory: Sound off on Glee's New (Better?) Bromance
We loved it when Finn (Cory Monteith) took Rory (Damian McGinty) under his wing early on in the foreign exchange student's time at McKinley High. But by the end of Season 3, Episode 9, "Extraordinary Merry Christmas," it was clear Rory had something special goin' on with another Glee guy: Sam (Chord Overstreet).
And we can understand why! While Finn had a sweet, protective older brother way of interacting with Rory, Sam is like the cool older brother that lets you take a sip of his beer when the parents aren't looking. Or, agrees to show you how to woo the ladies — as depicted in that final scene of this year's holiday-themed ep — even if his advice isn't necessarily the best (again with the Sean Connery impersonations? Really, Sam?).
Though we're just happy to have Rory around more, we like the idea of someone helping him to grow and be a part of the McKinley High family rather than just some occasional Irish relief.
And with Finn all lovey-dovey with Rachel and sorting out his post-graduation plans, is Sam the best man for the job? Or is the Finn-Rory bromance as much a positive thing for Finn('s maturity and manhood) as it is for Rory?

"This tour will show the industry that the greatest power in America comes from families and communities who have chosen clean energy over dirty coal. Our safety and health and the future of our planet depend on shutting down these plants, and quitting coal for good."America's oldest and dirtiest coal-burning power plants are destroying communities, poisoning our air and water, making our families sick and driving global warming. According to the Clean Air Task Force, pollution from coal-fired power plants is responsible for 13,200 deaths a year; one person dies every 40 minutes because of coal pollution. It is additionally responsible for 20,000 heart attacks, 217,600 asthma attacks, and 1,627,800 lost workdays a year. And coal-fired power plants are responsible for about a third of the US's global warming pollution."We're going to gather testimonials from all over America that tell the story of how coal is compromising our children's health, increasing asthma rates, and poisoning our air and water," said Robert Gardner, Greenpeace Climate and Energy campaigner. The Coal Free Future ship tour is just the beginning—all around the country, people are organizing, protesting and speaking out against coal, and now Greenpeace is prepared to join that movement, and take on the coal industry in the greatest struggle of our time.THE ARCTIC SUNRISE:The Arctic Sunrise is a 50-meter long icebreaker purchased by Greenpeace in 1995. Since then, it has peacefully protested whaling in the Southern Ocean and documented the impacts of climate change at the poles. In 2009 the ship hosted scientists studying Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland, which calved an ice island four times the size of Manhattan in August 2010. In the Fall of 2010, the Arctic Sunrise hosted independent scientists on a three-month research expedition in the Gulf of Mexico, finding, studying and documenting the oil on the surface, in the water column, and on the ocean floor.ON THE WEB:Supporters can follow the Arctic Sunrise throughout the Coal Free Future tour online at: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/coalfreetour###Notes:To arrange an interview with Coal Campaigner Kelly Mitchell or the crew of the Arctic Sunrise, contact Molly Dorozenski, 917-864-3724, For photo and video requests, contact Tim Aubry, 202-319-2429,

Document Type
Publication Date
This article explores the contention of Jeffrey Skilling, former Enron CEO, that Enron's debacle was due to a perfect storm of events. It rejects his contention, arguing instead that Enron's downfall was more like Titanic's - hubris and an over-reliance on checks and balances led to Enron's downfall. The article then explores how character (especially of those at the top of an organization) can lead to Enron-like disasters, and discusses how cognitive dissonance can lead to very smart people making very stupid decisions. It ends with some musings about how lawyers can learn from Enron.

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
Talking about death is now fashionable, but how should we talk? Who should we listen to - priests, doctors, cousellors, or ourselves? Has psychology replaced religion in telling us how to die? This provocative book takes a sociological look at the revival of interest in death, focusing on the hospice movement and bereavement counselling. It will be required reading for anyone interested in the sociology of death and caring for the dying, the dead or bereaved.

Community Sanitation Overview:
Angoon is the only permanent settlement on Admiralty Island, located on the southwest coast at Kootznahoo Inlet. Angoon is 55 miles southwest of Juneau and 41 miles northeast of Sitka. The city operates and manages a Class 2 water treatment system, a Class 1 water distribution system, and a Class 1 wastewater collection system. System classifications are determined by the State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Water based on the type of components found in a treatment plant and the number of connections served by water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Angoon's drinking water is derived from the Tillinghast Lake Reservoir before it is treated and the piped throughout the community. Over 95% of homes in the city are fully plumbed. Piped sewage is processed at a secondary treatment plant that flows to an ocean outfall. The City of Angoon also provides a garbage collection service. On a weekly basis, refuse is collected and deposited at a municipal landfill located approximately two miles from the city. Diesel-generated electrical service for Angoon is provided by the Inside Passage Electric Cooperative (IPEC).
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
This quarter, Juneau RUBA staff has been in frequent communication with Angoon city officials for assisting the city in meeting essential and sustainable indicators on the RUBA assessment. This quarter, one of Angoon's water operators successfully passed the exam and earned a provisional certification in water distribution. Juneau RUBA staff is in the process of drafting ordinance updates to the water collection's title of the city code.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
RUBA staff continues to offer assistance to the community in managing its finances to ensure the long-term sustainability of sanitation services in Angoon. Next quarter, Juneau RUBA staff will conduct a site-visit to Angoon to meet with the mayor, utility clerk, and other members of the utility's governing body to address several community needs. RUBA staff present several drafts of ordinance updates for the city's water collections title. RUBA staff will provide financial management assistance to city staff. Staff will also work with the water operators to complete their consumer confidence report (CCR) for this past year and prepare to draft another CCR for the upcoming year. Juneau RUBA staff has been in constant communication with the mayor and other staff for assistance in meeting essential indicators for the RUBA assessment. The site visit will create a workplan that will be an essential step towards meeting these indicators.

Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
The City of Angoon adopted its FY12 budget by non-code ordinance on June 23, 2011. Both budgets appropriately separate the revenues and expenditures for city's various departments and enterprises. The budget seeks to address the city's annual deficits with a 5% cut to administration and finance expenses, a 7% cut to the water utility budget (primarily due to a reduction in water testing costs and electricity needs), and a 40% cut to the solid waste budget with the elimination of what appears to be an employee's position. According to the budget, the city plans to more than double its sales tax revenue and increase enterprise revenue by 18%. This appears to be an unrealistic projection considering that the city has not fully enforced its sales tax or utility bill payment policies in previous years. City officials have verbally acknowledged expectations for grant funding this fiscal year; however, financial reports submitted to RUBA staff do not reflect these additional funds. City officials, however, have been active in seeking assistance from RUBA staff to revise and enforce sales tax collection policies in order to increase revenue. Utility bill collections in Angoon also continue to be a concern. The city staff recently reported to RUBA staff that the number of utility customers who pay their monthly bills on time and in full remains very low. Considering these financial challenges, the utility's long-term sustainability is in question. Nonetheless, the city continues to maintain that it has a financial plan to purchase diesel fuel as necessary and to pay its water/wastewater electric bills. City officials have requested assistance from RUBA staff to revise the collections policy to make it more enforceable and effective.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
Title 13 of the Angoon Municipal Code (AMC) outlines the city's utility bill collection policy. According to that policy, bills are to be sent out by the tenth day of each month. Bills are considered delinquent if payment is not received by the last day of that month. Customers can pay their bills by mail, in person at city hall, or through scheduled credit card payments. RUBA staff also confirmed with the accounts receiveable clerk that the city also provides an incentive for customers who pay in advance. Customers who pay for six months of utilities receive a discount of one month free. Title 13 of the AMC also contains the current collections policy for delinquent customers. Due to lack of disconnection infrastructure, city officials seek to revise this collections policy and replace the disconnection penalty with a financial penalty for delinquent accounts. Water, sewer, and garbage service rates in Angoon are differentiated in such a way that assigns rates to specified customer categories. Generally, those categories consist of residential citizens, senior citizens, commercial, and public facilities. Each customer pays a particular flat rate for the three utility services together as outlined in the utility's price list. Utility bills include the customer's name and address, the dates of service provided, the amount due, and any unpaid balance carried forward from previous months. When customers pay their bill, they receive a numbered receipt which details the form of payment, the date the payment was received, who it was received by, and payment purpose. All payments are entered into the QuickBooks accounting system which is used to track utility customers and maintain both the accounts receivable and accounts payable systems. Purchases are requested with a standardized, numbered purchase request form. These forms must be reviewed and approved by the mayor and matched with a separate purchase order record kept by the bookkeeper. The purchase order record lists the particular order number, the date, who requested the purchase, what the purchase was for, and whether it was approved. All purchases are matched to the appropriate city department and supplier using a simple four- or five-digit code. The city also utilizes a standardized set of timesheets to identify all necessary employee information, the funding department, any annual or sick leave used, and leave balances. The timesheets must be signed by the employee and the supervisor at the end of each time period. Additionally, there are formal, written leave application request, payroll advance request, and check request forms that must be completed by city employees. The utility bank accounts are reconciled each month and records of all bank statements are kept in a secure, organized filing cabinet.

Tax Problems Comments
The city's bookkeeper uses QuickBooks to calculate, track, and report its payroll tax liabilities. The Internal Revenue Service's taxpayer Advocacy Office has confirmed that Angoon is current in its federal tax reports and filings and the IRS has no liens against the city as of December 6, 2011.

The City of Angoon has a workers' compensation insurance policy with the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) valid through June 30, 2012 and covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases up to the Alaska statutory limits for each occurrence. Proof of coverage is posted in three areas including City Hall, the city shop, and the water treatment facility. Personnel folders are well-organized and contain all necessary INS forms, IRS forms, acceptance letters, and records of any disciplinary actions. However, the city continues to work with AMLJIA to adopt a personnel policy for all city employees. Training opportunities are provided to city staff as funding allows. The city clerk, accounts receivable clerk, and planning technician have all travelled to various RUBA trainings in the past year.

Sustainable Indicators

The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The city does not fully enforce the utility bill collections policy set forth under Title 13 of the Angoon Municipal Code (AMC). City officials have requested assistance from Juneau RUBA staff to draft ordinances for a revised collections policy. The city council meets on the third Tuesday of each month as required by the AMC. In order to faithfully comply with Alaska's Open Meetings Act, the city clerk posts notices for these meetings at least twenty-four hours in advance in three public places. The utility is managed by the city's mayor, who has attended city council trainings and is versed in the general operations of the city's utility systems. The city employs an accounts receivable clerk who assists the bookkeeper. The accounts receivable clerk completed the RUBA 32-hour Elected Officials UTM course in March and a 24-hour introductory QuickBooks class in April. The accounts receiveable clerk, the city clerk, and the planning technician also attended the RUBA 32-hour Personnel Management for Rural Utilities training in Sitka July 25-29, 2011. The city of Angoon employs two utility operators, John Silva and Jeremy Martin. This quarter, Jeremy Martin successfully earned a provisional Class 1 water distribution certification. He and John Silva will continue towards further certification necessary to operate the water treatment, water distribution, and wastewater collection systems. Both operators currently receive technical guidance from utility support engineers with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.

Operation of Utility Comments
Jeremy Martin, one of the utility's opeartors, recently earned a Class 1 water distribution provisional certification. Both Martin and John Silva, the other water operator, are actively working towards further necessary certification. They both plan to take certification exams in the coming quarter. The city's water utility nonetheless remains on the EPA's Significant Non-Compliance (SNC) list for its continued high levels of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). In order to be removed from the list, the utility must not have any DBP violations for one quarter and must complete one round of valid lead and copper samples. The State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Environmental Health states that Angoon's water treatment plant may require further upgrades in order to address these elevated DBP levels, though a final plan for such upgrades has not been made. The water treatment facility was recently upgraded from a Class 1 system to a Class 2 system with the addition of new facility components. During that upgrade, the utility was able to secure a collection of critical spare parts that are kept on hand at the facility. These parts were recently itemized in a critical spare parts list with the help of the ANTHC utility support engineer. The operators, however, do not currently maintain a full inventory control list. A safety manual is available on site and safety meetings are held at least once a month with the utility operators and utility manager (the city's mayor). Records of such meetings are recorded in a safety meeting log maintained by the utility manager.

Great Pants Ben Waring Pants For 6 mounts , Great fit an Ware like IRON, Have three pair ,Wash an Dry, come out Ready to go NO WRINKLES , SOOOOO NICE March 10, 2015
Great Trousers. All I will wear For those of you having back problems Wear these and take your Wallet out of the back pocket and put it in your side pocket. Setting on that wallet for years through your spine out of alignment. Took me 8 years of suffering to figure this out. January 5, 2015
inconsistent sizes I like the slacks - but I have ordered several pairs of the same size (same waist and length) and the sizes varied greatly - - some fit just fine, some were too small in the waist, some were too long (by 3+ inches). On one order I made several months ago I had one pair of slacks rip (back pocket) the second time I wore them. December 12, 2014
The only Wrangler cargo pant in 38x34 length and no Navy color I am writing to say I really love Wrangler twill cargo pants. They are both strong and lightweight. I am extremely upset with Wrangler not making this pant in Navy though. Myself and a several other guys at my job would love to be able to use these for work, but without the option of Navy, sadly we're forced to use other brands. Please make this pant available in Navy. June 4, 2014
The best quality and value for your money. I have purchased cargo pants from many brands......Wrangler is the winner hands down. Great quality, good design, and well placed pockets, well-priced, etc. March 9, 2014

This Sunday, January 20th, is the Charlotte Minicon, a one-day show first launched in 1977 by my alma mater Heroes Aren't Hard To Find. I'll be tabling along with pros from both the indie worlds (like pals Rob Ullman, J. Chris Campbell, and Rich Barrett) and superhero worlds (like Jason Latour, Lee Weeks, and Brian Stelfreeze). Plus there'll be tons of exhibitors selling books, comics, toys, t-shirts, probably a ton of stuff I'm not even thinking about.
This year Heroes owner Shelton Drum is expanding the space (and cost) of putting on this free event by moving into the large Grady Cole Center. I love that Shelton puts these on basically just to do it, so I hope you'll think about attending if you're anywhere near the Charlotte area. In order to encourage you, I'm going to give away 50 prints that day, the two pictured above, absolutely free, one per family. All you have to do to get one is go to this link and follow the instructions to "Like" the Heroes Aren't Hard To Find page and register for the event via Eventbrite. Then email me at dustyATdharbinDOTcom–just include your name and MINICON somewhere in the subject line or body. I'll add you to my list, and then give the prints away to the first 50 people (one per person, per family) on the list who come to my table (Table 118) at the minicon! Totally free, no catch, just be sure and Like the Heroes page and/or register via Eventbrite and email me.
BUT I will certainly not turn your money away if you want to buy other stuff! Believe me I'll have tons of it there, and if I run out I'll give you a good deal on Rob Ullman. The show opens to the public at 11am this Sunday, runs until 5, and is family-friendly and FREE so bring it!

Reviews for the Velocity Micro T30
Source: Comp Reviews
Velocity Micro's T30 Italia may offer much on the style front but it certainly lacks in the features and performance. Costing $999, it would be nice to at least see a dual core processor and a hard drive that is bigger than those found in netbooks. It is nice to see an external USB DVD burner come with the system but this certainly doesn't equate to the overall cost and performance differences between it and other ultrathin laptops available on the market.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 09/20/2010
Rating: Total score: 40%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.
SU4100: Entry-level dual core processor for slim and light subnotebooks. Due to the Pentium name, the CPU may have less power saving features than Core 2 Duo processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.6 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Velocity Micro: Velocity Micro was founded 1997 in USA and focusses on gaming computers for the American market.
40%: This average evaluation is exceptionally bad. There exist hardly any laptops, which are rated so negative.

She may have been out of the water for the next three decades, but Nyad didn't stray far from adventure. During the 1980s and 1990s, Nyad was an announcer for ABC's Wide World of Sports, covering three Olympic Games. She wrote a memoir, a fitness training guide for women, and a biography of an NFL player; she delivered dozens of motivational speeches and wrote for the New York Times and Newsweek. In 2001, Nyad became a contributor to The Savvy Traveler program on Minnesota Public Radio, making trips to Borneo, Bali, and dozens of other countries.
Four years later, Nyad and longtime friend Bonnie Stoll, a former professional racquetball player, founded bravabody.com, a website devoted to providing exercise advice to women over 40.
"Too many women we know are ashamed of their bodies," the pair wrote on the site. "We intend to lead our generation into the empowerment of feeling strong, free, and confident in every aspect of our lives."
For Nyad, the company's mission statement took on new meaning in 2010 when she announced she'd be attempting the Cuba swim again.
"The Straits of Florida has always loomed in my imagination," Nyad said in June. "Growing up in Florida, I felt that Cuba has always had a mystique."
And though she had lost some of her sleekness and speed, she believed when she announced her rematch with the Cuba swim that her age offered advantages for pushing through the rigors of a 60-hour swim.
"Physically, I'm stronger. I weigh a lot more," Nyad said after a training swim in Key West in June. "I was a fine Thoroughbred back then. Now I'm a Clydesdale. I power through, and nothing can get in my way."
There are also mental advantages to being older, says Steven Munatones, an expert in open-water swimming. "What you lose in strength and speed, you gain in focus and emotional resilience, which is something you need when you're swimming facedown in darkness for hours on end," says Munatones.
The second time around, the Cuba swim was about more than just setting another record — it was also about resilience with age.
"I hope older people will say, 'I want to live life like that at this age,'" Nyad said. "Our parents' generation considered 60 old age. I'm in the middle of middle age."
The 30-year delay helped Nyad move past the anger that fueled her as a younger woman. "I don't look back on my youth and say 'What a tragedy,' " says Nyad. "You don't ever get over that life sentence [of dealing with abuse], but I've reinvented myself to be happy, to take the tiger by the tail."

They will prepare anything - anyway you want it, even if not on menu. Waiters & owner know you by name. The waiters (who pool the tips) know exactly what you want. Sunday Brunch is exceptional.

Cannot believe the disappointment-- our salads were better tasting, the presentation was better, the portion (was a portion) compared to the lasagna. When have you ever seen a menu that would ask what filling for lasagna? NEVER -- The menu shows: meatball, sausage "OR" meat sauce. A good (Italian) lasagna consists of all three (ground), along with three cheeses: mozzarrela, ricotta and parmesan and between, layers of pasta. Plus a sizeable portion--not at Pulcinella's. The metal server, was placed on your dinner plate--the serving was extremely small and NO Layers of anything good. "MB" ordered the sausage and said "CJ", "IT" was like a hot dog sliced lengthwise, in the serving dish -- I will not say anymore. VERY SAD "CJ's" carbonara was not bad.
Posted by ma princess on 09/23/2010
I agree with the posts about this restaurant being VERY friendly. My 93 year old grandmother LOVES this restaurant. She always uses the upstairs bathroom and even though we only go once a month or so the staff know her by name, give her a table up front, and since she always orders the same thing they ask if she wants "the usual" :-) Great atmosphere and my family has never had a dish we didn't like. Dessert is great too. A little on the pricey side but WELL WORTH IT!
Posted by pulcinellafan on 09/17/2010
Pulcinella has amazing food! I have never tasted better.Everything is perfect. I do not like fancy reastraunts so this reastraunt is perfect for me. I go there all the time. I consider you all go there!
Posted by FrequentFeeder on 10/10/2008
I've eaten many a meal at Pulcinella's, and TheGIrlz couldn't be more wrong about handicapped accessibility. Yes, the main restrooms are downstairs, but there's a handicapped restroom on the main level that my 90-year-old mother uses every time we go there. As for the management not being responsive to her concerns well, I can't imagine that. With a handicapped facility right there and clearly marked with the blue handicapped sign on the door, how could they possibly be non-responsive? Now that that issue's been addressed, let me say that the food is consistently first rate, the service is superb, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. After you've eaten there a few times, you'll feel like one of the family!
Posted by Al the Pal on 09/09/2008
One of the best restaurants to get in and out during lunch in Tysons area (try and do that in tysons) and the food is delicious. Also, there is a restroom on the main level for people who can't make it downstairs (I assume the person who gave the previous review merely complained about the stairs, not actual handicapped accessibility).
Posted by TheGIrlz on 06/13/2008
This is the only restaurant I have ever been in where the restrooms are in the basement and there is no way for handicapped to get there. I complained to the management and they were disinterested, and then to Fairfax County but I'll bet nothings been done. Won't ever eat there again because of their total disregard for the handicapped. And might I mention that the stairs to the basement are very steep and its an unusually long trip so even the elderly would have to walk down very gingerly and hold the hand rail with both hands. I guess we're lucky there's a handrail.
