I guess AT&T just needs some target for its Institutional Bigotry.
One more reason not to go with Cingular, I guess.
Not that I blame you, but
Not that I blame you, but you seem to be a little angry at AT&T lately.
I also can't imagine trying to fight (?) a company like AT&T. Kind of like trying to get the US Congress to do the right thing. Ha!
I have a member in my family (overall family for me is a huge gothic group that numbers around 90 on any given day) that who works for AT&T, the part that used to be Cingular. What I hear from him is that everybody is treated equally no matter what. My greater concern is how when AT&T took over the work environment overall went from good to bad overnight. Quotas were doubled with less support. Management who had been managing their own schedules were put on a strange work schedule that took away flexability that had been given so long as work was done. And, this is a small thing, but money was cut for management retreats. To quote my relative, "I work for a Fortune 500 company, they can afford a one-day work retreat that includes food and a meeting room."
My guess is that it's the individual's in this situation that aren't following policy.

Article: Predicting the environmental risks of radioactive discharges from Belgian nuclear power plants[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An environmental risk assessment (ERA) was performed to evaluate the impact on non-human biota from liquid and atmospheric radioactive discharges by the Belgian Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) of Doel and Tihange. For both sites, characterisation of the source term and wildlife population around the NPPs was provided, whereupon the selection of reference organisms and the general approach taken for the environmental risk assessment was established. A deterministic risk assessment for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems was performed using the ERICA assessment tool and applying the ERICA screening value of 10 μGy h(-1). The study was performed for the radioactive discharge limits and for the actual releases (maxima and averages over the period 1999-2008 or 2000-2009). It is concluded that the current discharge limits for the Belgian NPPs considered do not result in significant risks to the aquatic and terrestrial environment and that the actual discharges, which are a fraction of the release limits, are unlikely to harm the environment.Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 08/2013; 126C:61-76.

ABSTRACT: An exercise to compare 10 approaches for the calculation of unweighted whole-body absorbed dose rates was conducted for 74 radionuclides and five of the ICRP's Reference Animals and Plants, or RAPs (duck, frog, flatfish egg, rat and elongated earthworm), selected for this exercise to cover a range of body sizes, dimensions and exposure scenarios. Results were analysed using a non-parametric method requiring no specific hypotheses about the statistical distribution of data. The obtained unweighted absorbed dose rates for internal exposure compare well between the different approaches, with 70% of the results falling within a range of variation of ±20%. The variation is greater for external exposure, although 90% of the estimates are within an order of magnitude of one another. There are some discernible patterns where specific models over- or under-predicted. These are explained based on the methodological differences including number of daughter products included in the calculation of dose rate for a parent nuclide; source-target geometry; databases for discrete energy and yield of radionuclides; rounding errors in integration algorithms; and intrinsic differences in calculation methods. For certain radionuclides, these factors combine to generate systematic variations between approaches. Overall, the technique chosen to interpret the data enabled methodological differences in dosimetry calculations to be quantified and compared, allowing the identification of common issues between different approaches and providing greater assurance on the fundamental dose conversion coefficient approaches used in available models for assessing radiological effects to biota.Biophysik 11/2010; 50(2):231-51.

Article: Predicting the radiation exposure of terrestrial wildlife in the Chernobyl exclusion zone: an international comparison of approaches[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is now general acknowledgement that there is a requirement to demonstrate that species other than humans are protected from anthropogenic releases of radioactivity. A number of approaches have been developed for estimating the exposure of wildlife and some of these are being used to conduct regulatory assessments. There is a requirement to compare the outputs of such approaches against available data sets to ensure that they are robust and fit for purpose. In this paper we describe the application of seven approaches for predicting the whole-body ((90)Sr, (137)Cs, (241)Am and Pu isotope) activity concentrations and absorbed dose rates for a range of terrestrial species within the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Predictions are compared against available measurement data, including estimates of external dose rate recorded by thermoluminescent dosimeters attached to rodent species. Potential reasons for differences between predictions between the various approaches and the available data are explored.Journal of Radiological Protection 06/2010; 30(2):341-73.

Article: Proposal for new best estimates of the soil-to-plant transfer factor of U, Th, Ra, Pb and Po[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is increasing interest in radiological assessment of discharges of naturally occurring radionuclides into the terrestrial environment. Such assessments require parameter values for the pathways considered in predictive models. An important pathway for human exposure is via ingestion of food crops and animal products. One of the key parameters in environmental assessment is therefore the soil-to-plant transfer factor to food and fodder crops. The objective of this study was to compile data, based on an extensive literature survey, concerning soil-to-plant transfer factors for uranium, thorium, radium, lead, and polonium. Transfer factor estimates were presented for major crop groups (Cereals, Leafy vegetables, Non-leafy vegetables, Root crops, Tubers, Fruits, Herbs, Pastures/grasses, Fodder), and also for some compartments within crop groups. Transfer factors were also calculated per soil group, as defined by their texture and organic matter content (Sand, Loam, Clay and Organic), and evaluation of transfer factors' dependency on specific soil characteristics was performed following regression analysis. The derived estimates were compared with estimates currently in use.Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 09/2009; 100(9):721-32. DOI:10.1016/j.jenvrad.2008.10.014 · 3.57 Impact Factor
Article: Proposal for new best estimates for the soil solid-liquid distribution coefficient and soil-to-plant transfer of nickel.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to compile data, based on an extensive literature survey, for the soil solid-liquid distribution coefficient (K(d)) and soil-to-plant transfer factor (TF) for nickel. The K(d) best estimates were calculated for soils grouped according to texture and organic matter content (sand, loam, clay and organic) and soil cofactors affecting soil-nickel interaction, such as pH, organic matter, and clay content. Variability in K(d) was better explained by pH than by soil texture. Nickel TF estimates were presented for major crop groups (cereals, leafy vegetables, non-leafy vegetables, root crops, tubers, fruits, herbs, pastures/grasses and fodder), and also for plant compartments within crop groups. Transfer factors were also calculated per soil group, as defined by their texture and organic matter content. Furthermore an evaluation of transfer factor dependency on specific soil characteristics was performed following regression analysis. The derived estimates were compared with parameter estimates currently in use.Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 03/2009; 100(4):342-7. DOI:10.1016/j.jenvrad.2008.12.002 · 3.57 Impact Factor
Article: Root Uptake : Temperate Environment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In particular, in 1994 the IAEA published Technical Reports Series No. 364, Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of Radionuclide Transfer in Temperate Environments. Over the years, it has proved to be a valuable reference for radioecologists, modellers and authorities in Member States, and has been quoted in numerous impact assessments. Technical Reports Series No. 364 was based on a review of available data up to the end of 1992. It was assumed that there is sufficient new information available to warrant reconsideration of a significant proportion of the values given in Technical Reports Series No. 364 and to initiate an updating of Technical Reports Series No. 364 in the framework of the IAEA EMRAS (Environmental Modelling for RAdiation Safety) project. The present IAEA-TECDOC is intended to be a support to the update of Technical Reports Series No. 364, overcoming the limitations of the former, and comprises both revised transfer parameter values, as well as missing data, key transfer processes, concepts and models that were found to be important for radiation safety. The publication was prepared by members of the EMRAS project Working Group 1, Theme 1 Revision of IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 364.
Article: Environmental modelling of NORM[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Within the IAEA EMRAS programme, a working group was established to look at the modelling of naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) in a variety of environments. There are many models already available. However, guidance on how and when to apply specific models is lacking in many cases. Development of models has often been carried out without a clear understanding of the possible applications of the models. Some models have been developed only for specific applications in specific industries, and are not generally useful. The work carried out during this program has resulted in the identification of several important issues that require consideration in the selection and utilization of computer models for NORM risk assessment. These issues discussed below cover suitability, selection, use and misuse of available models, as well as training and guidance for modelers, and acquisition of data for model inputs.Radioprotection 01/2009; DOI:10.1051/radiopro/20095011 · 0.60 Impact Factor
Article: Findings and recommendations from an international comparison of models and approaches for the estimation of radiological exposure to non-human biota[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There is general international acceptance of the need to demonstrate that the environment is protected from ionising radiation. In some countries requirements and guidelines for the protection of non-human biota are already in place. As a consequence a number of models and approaches have been proposed for the estimation of the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiation. The IAEA EMRAS programme's Biota Working Group has conducted the most comprehensive intercomparison of the predictions of these approaches to date. In this paper, we present an overview of the activities of the Biota Working Group concentrating on its conclusions and recommendations.Radioprotection 01/2009; DOI:10.1051/radiopro/20095104 · 0.60 Impact Factor
Article: Inter-comparison of models to estimate radionuclide activity concentrations in non-human biota[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A number of models have recently been, or are currently being, developed to enable the assessment of radiation doses from ionising radiation to non-human species. A key component of these models is the ability to predict whole-organism activity concentrations in a wide range of wildlife. In this paper, we compare the whole-organism activity concentrations predicted by eight models participating within the IAEA Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety programme for a range of radionuclides to terrestrial and freshwater organisms. In many instances, there was considerable variation, ranging over orders of magnitude, between the predictions of the different models. Reasons for this variability (including methodology, data source and data availability) are identified and discussed. The active participation of groups responsible for the development of key models within this exercise is a useful step forward in providing the transparency in methodology and data provenance required for models which are either currently being used for regulatory purposes or which may be used in the future. The work reported in this paper, and supported by other findings, demonstrates that the largest contribution to variability between model predictions is the parameterisation of their transfer components. There is a clear need to focus efforts and provide authoritative compilations of those data which are available.Biophysik 11/2008; 47(4):491-514. DOI:10.1007/s00411-008-0186-8 · 1.58 Impact Factor
Article: An international comparison of models and approaches for the estimation of the radiological exposure of non-human biota[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Over the last decade a number of models and approaches have been developed for the estimation of the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiations. In some countries these are now being used in regulatory assessments. However, to date there has been no attempt to compare the outputs of the different models used. This paper presents the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency's EMRAS Biota Working Group which compares the predictions of a number of such models in model-model and model-data inter-comparisons.Applied Radiation and Isotopes 06/2008; 66(11):1745-9.

ABSTRACT: A number of approaches have been proposed to estimate the exposure of non-human biota to ionizing radiation. This paper reports an inter-comparison of the unweighted absorbed dose rates for the whole organism (compared as dose conversion coefficients, or DCCs) for both internal and external exposure, estimated by 11 of these approaches for selected organisms from the Reference Animals and Plants geometries as proposed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Inter-comparison results indicate that DCCs for internal exposure compare well between the different approaches, whereas variation is greater for external exposure DCCs. Where variation among internal DCCs is greatest, it is generally due to different daughter products being included in the DCC of the parent. In the case of external exposures, particularly to low-energy beta-emitters, variations are most likely to be due to different media densities being assumed. On a radionuclide-by-radionuclide basis, the different approaches tend to compare least favourably for (3)H, (14)C and the alpha-emitters. This is consistent with models with different source/target geometry assumptions showing maximum variability in output for the types of radiation having the lowest range across matter. The intercomparison demonstrated that all participating approaches to biota dose calculation are reasonably comparable, despite a range of different assumptions being made.Biophysik 12/2007; 46(4):349-73.

ABSTRACT: The BIOMOSA (BIOsphere MOdels for Safety Assessment of radioactive waste disposal) project was part of the EC fifth framework research programme. The main goal of this project was to improve the scientific basis for the application of biosphere models in the framework of long-term safety studies of radioactive waste disposal facilities and to enhance the confidence in using biosphere models for performance assessments. The study focused on the development and application of a generic biosphere tool BIOGEM (BIOsphere GEneric Model) using the IAEA BIOMASS reference biosphere methodology, and the comparison between BIOGEM and five site-specific biosphere models. The site-specific models and the generic model were applied to five typical locations in Europe, resulting in estimates of the annual effective individual doses to the critical groups and the ranking of the importance of the exposure pathways for each of the sites. Uncertainty in the results was also estimated by means of stochastic calculations based on variation of the site-specific parameter values. This paper describes the generic model and the deterministic and stochastic results obtained when it was applied to the five sites. Details of the site-specific models and the corresponding results are described in two companion papers. This paper also presents a comparison of the results between the generic model and site-specific models. In general, there was an acceptable agreement of the BIOGEM for both the deterministic and stochastic results with the results from the site-specific models.Journal of Radiological Protection 07/2006; 26(2):161-87.

Article: Development and comparison of five site-specific biosphere models for safety assessment of radioactive waste disposal.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper describes the development and application of site-specific biosphere models that might be used for assessment of potential exposures in the framework of performance assessment studies of nuclear waste disposals. Model development follows the Reference Biosphere Methodology that has been set up in the framework of the BIOMASS study. In this paper, the application is to real sites at five European locations for which environmental and agricultural conditions have been described and characterised. For each of the sites a biosphere model has been developed specifically assuming a release of radionuclides to waters that are used by humans, for example as drinking water for humans and cattle and as irrigation water. Among the ingestion pathways, the intakes of drinking water, cereals, leafy vegetables, potatoes, milk, beef and freshwater fish are included in all models. Annual individual doses were calculated, and uncertainties in the results were estimated by means of stochastic calculations. To enable a comparison, all results were normalised to an activity concentration in groundwater of 1 Bq m(-3) for each of the radionuclides considered ((36)Cl, (79)Se, (99)Tc, (129)I, (135)Cs, (226)Ra, (231)Pa, (230)Th, (237)Np, (239)Pu, and (238)U), i.e. those that are usually most relevant in performance assessment studies of nuclear waste disposals. Although the results do not give answers in absolute terms on potential future exposures, they indicate the spectrum of exposures that might occur in different environments and specify the interaction of environmental conditions, human habits and potential exposure.Journal of Radiological Protection 01/2006; 25(4):343-73.

Article: A comparative radiological assessment of five European biosphere systems in the context of potential contamination of well water from the hypothetical disposal of radioactive waste[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the framework of the BioMoSA project for the development of biosphere assessment models for radioactive waste disposal the Reference Biosphere Methodology developed in the IAEA programme BIOMASS was applied to five locations, situated in different European countries. Specific biosphere models were applied to assess the hypothetical contamination of a range of agricultural and environmental pathways and the dose to individuals, following contamination of well water. The results of these site-specific models developed by the different BioMoSA partners, and the individual normalised dose to the exposure groups were compared against each other. Ingestion of drinking water, fruit and vegetables were found to be among the most important pathways for almost all radionuclides. Stochastic calculations revealed that consumption habits, transfer factors, irrigation rates and distribution coefficients (Kd(s)) were the most important parameters that influence the end results. Variations in the confidence intervals were found to be higher for sorbing elements (e.g. (36)Cl, (237)Np, (99)Tc, (238)U, (129)I) than for mobile elements (e.g. (226)Ra, (79)Se, (135)Cs, (231)Pa, (239)Pu). The influence of daughter products, for which the distribution into the biosphere was calculated individually, was also shown to be important. This paper gives a brief overview of the deterministic and stochastic modelling results and the parameter sensitivity. A screening methodology was introduced to identify the most important pathways, simplify a generic biosphere tool and refine the existing models.Journal of Radiological Protection 01/2006; 25(4):375-91.

Article: Application of biosphere models in the BIOMOSA project: A comparative assessment of five European radioactive waste disposal sites[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The BioMoSA (Biosphere Models for Safety Assessment of Radioactive Waste Disposal) project was part of the EC fifth framework research program. The main goal of this project was the improvement of the scientific basis for the application of biosphere models in the framework of long-term safety studies of radioactive waste disposal facilities. Another aim of the project was to provide operators and regulatory bodies with guidelines for performance assessments of repository systems. The study focused on the development and application of site-specific models and a generic biosphere tool BIOGEM (BIOsphere GEneric Model), using the experience from National programs and the IAEA BIOMASS reference biosphere methodology. The models were applied to 5 typical locations in Europe, resulting in estimates of the annual individual doses to the critical groups and the ranking of the importance of the pathways for each of the sites. The results of the site-specific and generic models were then compared. Uncertainty in the results was estimated by means of stochastic calculations which allowed a comparison of the overall model uncertainty with the variability across the different sites considered.Radioprotection 05/2005; DOI:10.1051/radiopro:2005s1-102 · 0.60 Impact Factor
Article: Models and approaches available to estimate the exposure of non-human biota: an international comparison of predictions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Over the last decade, there have been a number of models and approaches proposed to estimate the exposure of non-human biota to ionising radiations. Some countries are now using these within their national regulatory frameworks for nuclear and other sites which may be releasing radioactivity to the environment. To date validation of these approaches has been limited and there has been little attempt to compare the outputs of the different models being applied. To address this gap, a new Biota Working Group (BWG) has been formed by the IAEA as part of the EMRAS (Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety) programme. The primary objective of the EMRAS BWG, as set by its participants, is: 'to compare and validate models being used and developed by Member States for biota dose assessment (that may be used) as part of regulatory process of licensing and compliance monitoring of authorised releases of radionuclides in order to improve Member State's capabilities for protection of the environment'. Initial exercises are directed at the comparison and validation of screening level models. In this paper, we will report on a recently conducted comparison of predicted activity concentrations in a range of non-human biota assuming a simple scenario. Unweighted internal and external dose conversion coefficients will also be compared for a selection of reference organism geometries, as currently being proposed by the ICRP, in environmentally relevant media. The models and approaches used encompass those being developed and applied in the USA, Canada, France, Belgium and the UK, as well as the outputs from international collaborative programmes. The results of this work will be discussed in the context of the longer term objectives of the EMRAS Biota Working Group.
Article: Impact of afforestation on long term 137Cs and 90Sr recycling from a waste burial in the Chernobyl Red Forrest[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Following the Chernobyl reactor fire in April 1986, acute irradiation caused complete decay of pine trees in forest located in direct vicinity of ChNPP. The so-called "Red Forest", a 1500 ha of Scots pine stand where the absorbed doses values exceeded the destructive value for coniferous species (> 60 Gy), is still today one of the most contaminated terrestrial ecosystems on Earth. Emergency clean-up activities consisted of in situ burial of contaminated topsoil layers and dead trees in about two hundred sub-surface trenches involving 1 million m3 of radioactive materials. The trenches of Red Forest waste dump were then covered with 20-30 cm layer of "clean" sand and the site was revegetated with a mixture of pine, birch and bushes to prevent secondary contamination due to soil erosion or wind resuspension (Kozubov and Taskaev, 2002).

Fat Loss in the "Land of Tea"
I'm going away to India in February for my cousin's wedding. I like to call it the "Land of Tea" because everywhere you go, you are offered "Chai" or Tea. In fact, after my first visit to India (as a teenager), I became addicted to Indian Chai.
One of the problems I always have is maintaining my weight. Last time I went to India I had gained a tremendous amount of weight due to horrible food choices and lack of exercise. I have prepared a video to explain what went wrong and how I plan to remedy the situation in the future:
How to Design an Effective Vacation Training Program
Creating a vacation program is easy once you have the right tools in front of you. So before you leave for your vacation I want you to do three things:
Step One: Determine the type of training equipment you have access to. If you do not have access to a gym, then you can create a bodyweight or resistance band training program. If you do have access to a gym, try to figure out what kind of equipment will be in that gym.
Step Two: Determine the amount of time you have to exercise. Be practical here. Try to figure out what your itinerary is ahead of time. If you have a family like mine, there won't be any itinerary. In that case, prepare for the worst.
Step Three: Use the methods below to develop your training program.
3 Methods to Training on Vacation
It's a good idea to have a "bag of tricks" while you're on vacation. Here are three more tricks to add:
Max Rounds in 20 minutes – This is classic density training and something that's been repeated several times on this website. I'm repeating it again because not enough people use this format of workout design.
- When you're on vacation, you have limited time. You may have 10-20-or 30 minutes to workout before you leave for some enchanted getaway tour bus. I know for myself, I'll be needed in more places than I can pronounce.
- The main idea is to set up a circuit and perform it as many times as you can within a given time frame.
Tabata Training – Here is another training method I've talked about numerous times on my site. I think people are too scared to try this method. But I'm telling you, it'll save you a lot of time and prevent you from gaining any vacation weight.
- Tabata training revolves around intervals of 20 seconds work, and 10 seconds rest. Traditionally, you perform 8 rounds for a total of 4 minutes, and then you're done. Most people will choose 3-5 exercises for a 12 to 20 minute workout.
- Create a Tabata routine based on the amount of time you have. Don't be afraid of modifying already established training protocols.
One of the best ways to help you with your intervals is to use the GymBoss Interval Timer. It costs just $19.95, and you can program it to help you keep track of any sort of intervals you may use. Click here to grab yours today.
Singles for Strength – Here is something I have never talked about on this site. If you get a chance to hit a gym with a lot of free weights (most hotel gyms just have machines), then you can perform something called Singles Training.
- Choose one barbell exercise and perform anywhere between 5 to 10 sets of singles. You can gradually add weight to the bar as you progress, or just start off with 80-90% of your maximum and perform 10 sets of singles. (By the way, singles means performing just 1 repetition)
- Singles are a great way to maintain or even boost your strength levels while on vacation. If you have just ten minutes to workout, then perform 5 singles with 60 seconds of rest between each set.
What a Great Way to Workout while on Vacation! – Image by tinatinatinatinatinaBodyweight Training Resources
I've come across a lot of great bodyweight training resources along the years. Check out these two resources before embarking on your journey:
Workout Without Weights – This is an eBook written by Coach Lomax. It has taught me pretty much everything I know about bodyweight training. The eBook is concise and easy to follow. It comes with six "mini" eBooks for additional information. One of the mini eBooks is a full 4-week Tabata training program. This may end up being your full program for you vacation. Check it out here.
BodyweightCulture.com – Bodyweight Culture is a no nonsense forum with a lot of people who are genuinely there to help you out. If you're a complete beginner to bodyweight training, no one will yell out you (the way they do on various other forums – I won't mention any names), but instead they'll kindly ask you to use the search function for your question. The information is GOLD and the people are NICE. Check it out here.
Fitting Exercise into Your Busy Itinerary
As mentioned earlier, when you're with my family, anything can happen at any time. I have thought of some survival techniques to help you fit in at least three workouts per week while you're on vacation:
Technique #1: Exercise First Thing In The Morning – Before anyone can tell you to do something, or before that tour bus leaves, just get up a few minutes early and perform a quick workout.
Technique #2: Get it Done on the Side of the Road – When your family or tour bus makes a rest stop find a good park bench or open area and start cranking out pushups, jumping on benches, and pulling on tree branches.
Technique #3: Make it an Event – If you're going to be with cousins or friends, then get them to workout with you. If they're not interested offer to teach them, or make a compromise. Say, "Your Art Museum on Sunday, and my Gym on Monday."
Relaxing While on Vacation
Most often when you're on vacation, you want to get so much done in such a short amount of time that you forget to relax. I've had my best memories when I'm with my family, all sitting around at the dinner table, or playing cards at 2 in the morning, or with my cousins lounging around at a hookah bar. Don't forget that you're there to see family and old friends, not just to take some picture of the Eiffel Tower.
Relax, Have some Chai – Image by Veralyn AdeyinkaRelaxing your body is important. If you want stress, then go to work. But if you're going to spend money on a plane ticket to a distant land, do it stress free. If you are extremely limited on time and need to choose between relaxing and exercising, choose the former. You can always get back into the groove when you come back home.

A creature in classical mythology who had a hundred eyes. Hera set him to watch over Io, a girl who had been seduced by Zeus and then turned into a cow; with Argus on guard, Zeus could not come to rescue Io, for only some of Argus' eyes would be closed in sleep at any one time. Hermes, working on Zeus' behalf, played music that put all the eyes to sleep and then killed Argus. Hera put his eyes in the tail of the peacock.

Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission sting finds 11 area locations that sold alcohol to undercover minors
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission cited 11 area stores for selling alcohol to minors during an undercover sting operation last month.
The citations came after the commission targeted 60 locations in Nueces and San Patricio counties, sending in undercover teens to try to purchase alcohol. The teens were told not to lie about their age or use fake identification. They were told to wear age-appropriate clothing, in some cases wearing a T-shirt with their high school logo on it.
Even so, 11 locations licensed to sell alcohol sold it to the minors, according to a news release.
Commission officials said they typically issue two or three violations per month.
Store employees in violation each were charged on suspicion of sale of alcoholic beverages to a minor, a Class A misdemeanor. The charge carries as much as a $4,000 fine and up to a year in jail.

Tigers offense struggles against Zimmermann
The Nationals took a 2-1 lead on an unearned run in the fourth. Adam LaRoche led off with a single and Danny Espinosa singled him to second with one out. Kurt Suzuki flied to right and LaRoche tagged and went for third. Torii Hunter's throw hit LaRoche, eluded Cabrera and went out of play. LaRoche was awarded home and Espinosa third.
"That's baseball for you. There's nothing I did wrong, nothing Miguel did wrong, (it's) just . crazy," Hunter said. "I hate it though, trust me."
Harper made it 3-1 when he hit Sanchez's first pitch over the wall in right center with two outs in the fifth for his 10th home run.
"It was a 0-0 curveball, a pitch he hadn't seen yet in the game, and it was a good 0-0 pitch," Tiger catcher Alex Avila said. "A lot of guys just take that pitch, or if they do swing, they don't hit it out of the park normally. That was pretty impressive."
Washington tied it in the bottom half when Denard Span tripled and scored on Harper's sacrifice fly.
NOTES: Cabrera appeared to grab his right hip after grounding out in the sixth. "My back was tight, a little sore, my low back," he said. "But no big deal. I was able to play nine innings, so, hopefully tomorrow, it will work out, regular stretch and ready to play." . Detroit's RHP Doug Fister (4-0, 2.48) and RHP Dan Haren (3-3, 5.01) will start Thursday's finale. ... The start of the game was delayed 57 minutes by rain. ... Managers Johnson and Jim Leyland were meeting for the first time since Sept. 19, 1999, when Johnson's Dodgers defeated Leyland's Rockies, 5-2.

Skyrim: PS3 or 360?
By Duskwind 18 Comments
Well, Skyrim's finally out. I watched part of the 12 hour marathon with Greg Kasavin. It looks good, and I'm looking forward to playing it. Question is, should I get the PS3 or the 360 version? If I had a half decent PC, I would go with that, so don't even bother mentioning it.
From what I've read so far, Bethesda's been able to pack in higher res. textures on the PS3 version because of the increased capacity of Blu-ray discs. I hear it was a similar situation with RAGE. Some of you may say that whatever version I go with, the game's going to be great. No argument there. However, I'd still like to get the better version, even if the difference is only negligible.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
For the next few days we're taking a peek at the biggest buzz in craft beer, Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp collaboration with 12 other breweries. Maillard's Odyssey pairs up the legendary Sierra Nevada with the nearly as legendary Bell's Brewery out of Michigan for a hefty imperial black ale. Bell's knows their way around a dark beer—their Special Double Cream Stout—so this pairing is a good one. This jet black beer is a veritable swamp of charred molasses, burnt sugar, and chocolate-dipped tobacco. Some oily, coffee-like bitterness offsets the sweetness, but don't expect a lot of hops - this beer is a showcase for dark malts. This one-time only brew can be sampled at London Grill and Victory Beer Hall.

Was nice
Didnt like that there wasnt really a place to sit for the continental breakfast
It was cheap, the staff was friendly
No mini fridge, toilet wouldn't flush unless the handle was held down, sink wouldn't drain
Loved the Indoor heated pool, hot breakfast, location and a lot more. The staff was great, the room was big and clean.
There's nothing I didn't like about it
The room and hotel were pristine! The breakfast area and selection surpassed any of my expectations. Looking forward to using the pool only next visit.
We liked the helpfulness of the host. She was very familiar with the area and provided great information about restaurants in the area.
comfortable beds, amazing view (for all rooms) and heated bathroom floor.
office space like ceiling tile in bathroom took away from overall lodge feel and the restaurant on site closes painfully early (not many other restaurants open late in close vicinity either)
The rooms were decorated in a lodge/cabin theme and were done very tastefully. The beds were very comfortable.
Restaurant closes early, no one is present at the front desk after 9:00, Adirondack chairs were in need of repair, no lake access (just a view of the lake), old televisions in rooms.
Lovely hostess, whimsical decor & utterly delicious breakfast!
Shared bathroom
Cleanliness, location, amenities. Best B&B I've been to!
Front walk difficult to navigate.

New York City
Restaurants in New York City
New York's status as a melting pot of diverse cultures makes its dining some of the best and most eclectic in the world, merging international cuisines into high and low food offerings guaranteed to satisfy all taste. There are a few things synonymous with New York City restaurants and dining: fat, doughy bagels, hot dogs and pretzels bought from roving food cards, giant slices of pizza with every conceivable toppings, creamy cheesecakes. But restaurants in New York City have moved far beyond these iconic foods, and many celebrity chefs cut their teeth on the Big Apple's dining scene, reinventing classic dishes and bringing new ones to the scene with contemporary flair.
There's a restaurant, and a perfect meal, for all palates: you can slurp ramen at Momofuku, feast on smoked meat sandwiches and Montreal-inspired poutine at Mile End Deli, order authentic (and affordable) Chinese food at Xi'an Famous Foods, lap up borscht at the Russian Tea Room, sample the freshest sushi at 15 East, dive into tacos and tapas at La Palapa, or just get a New York slice at the iconic and ubiquitous Ray's Pizza. The possibilities at New York City restaurants are literally endless. And don't forget to wash your meals down with a signature cocktail or craft beer at one of New York City's many wine bars, cocktail lounges, and microbreweries.

Washington - At various points over the past two years, Internal Revenue Service officials singled out for scrutiny not only groups with "tea party" or "patriot" in their name but also nonprofit groups that criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution, according to documents in an audit conducted by the agency's inspector general.
The documents, obtained by The Washington Post from a congressional aide with knowledge of the findings, show that the IRS field office in charge of evaluating applications for tax-exempt status decided to focus on groups making statements that "criticize how the country is being run" and those that were involved in educating Americans "on the Constitution and Bill of Rights."
The staffers in the Cincinnati field office were making high-level decisions on how to evaluate the groups because a decade ago the IRS assigned all applications to that unit. The IRS also eliminated an automatic after-the-fact review process Washington used to conduct such determinations.
Marcus Owens, who oversaw tax-exempt groups at the IRS between 1990 and 1999, said that delegation "carries with it a risk" because the Cincinnati office "isn't as plugged into what's (politically) sensitive as Washington."
Owens, who is now a member of the law firm Caplin & Drysdale, said that before the agency's most recent reorganization, it had a series of "tripwires in place" that could catch unfair targeting of groups, including the fact that the IRS identified its criteria for special scrutiny in a public manual.
"There's no longer that safety valve, and as a result, the IRS has been rolling the dice ever since," said Owens, who worked at the agency for nearly a quarter-century and now represents some organizations seeking tax-exempt status.
The IRS came under withering attack from GOP lawmakers Sunday.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a moderate Republican, described the practice as "absolutely chilling" and called on President Barack Obama to condemn the effort.
"This is truly outrageous," Collins said on CNN's "State of the Union," adding that even though White House spokesman Jay Carney has said the matter deserves an investigation, "the president needs to make crystal clear that this is totally unacceptable in America."
In March 2012, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, told Congress that the agency was not targeting conservative groups. On Sunday, the agency declined to answer questions about whether senior officials asked IRS exempt organizations division chief Lois Lerner and her staff in Cincinnati about this heightened scrutiny before testifying it did not take place.
"There has to be accountability for the people who did it," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said on NBC's "Meet the Press," adding, "And, quite frankly, up until a few days ago, there's got to be accountability for people who were telling lies about it being done."
The appendix of the inspector general's report - which was requested by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and has yet to be publicly released - chronicles the extent to which the IRS's exempt organizations division kept redefining what sort of "social welfare" groups it should single out for extra attention since the 2010 Supreme Court ruling Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. That decision allowed corporations and labor unions to raise and spend unlimited sums on elections as well as register for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, as long as their "primary purpose" did not consist of targeting electoral candidates.
The number of political groups applying for tax-exempt status more than doubled in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case, forcing agency officials to make a slew of determinations despite uncertainty about the category's ambiguous definition.
On June 29, 2011, according to the documents, IRS staffers held a briefing with Lerner in which they described giving special attention to instances where "statements in the case file criticize how the country is being run." She raised an objection and the agency adopted a more general set of standards. Lerner, who is a Democrat, is not a political appointee.
But six months later, the IRS applied a new political test to social welfare groups, the document says. On Jan. 15, 2012 the agency decided to look at "political action type organizations involved in limiting/expanding Government, educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, social economic reform movement," according to the appendix in the IG report,
The agency did not appear to adopt a more neutral test for 501(c)(4) groups until May 17, 2012, according to the timeline in the inspector general's report. At that point, the IRS again updated its criteria to focus on "organizations with indicators of significant amounts of political campaign intervention (raising questions as to exempt purpose and/or excess private benefit.)"
Campaign reform groups have been pressing the IRS for several years to conduct greater oversight of nonprofits formed in the wake of the Citizens United case, given that many have become heavily involved in elections.
"But this isn't the type of enforcement we want," said Paul Ryan, a senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center. "We want nonpartisan, non-biased enforcement."
Loyola Law School professor Ellen Aprill, who specializes in tax law, said any group that has applied for tax-exempt status has "opened themselves up to scrutiny" by the IRS.
"It's part of their job to look for organizations that may be more likely to have too much campaign intervention," she said. "But it is important to try to make these criteria as politically neutral as possible."
Aprill said one of the problems is the agency's top officials have not provided clear enough guidelines on what constitutes too much political activity for a social welfare group because it's been "a hot potato," and that now with this new controversy, "it's going to make it even more difficult to do so."
Toby Marie Walker, president of the Waco Tea Party, said the IRS subjected her group to a series of unreasonable requests after they applied for tax-exempt status in June 2010. The requests came in early 2012, Walker said, after being initially informed by an official in the Cincinnati field office that he was "sitting on a stack of tea party applications and they were awaiting word from higher-ups as to how to process them."
The agency asked the group's treasurer to supply information on its "close relationship" with current candidates and elected officials as well as future candidates, along with detailed information about its contributors and members. The IRS also asked for transcripts of any radio interviews its officials had done and hard copies of any news article mentioning them.
"That would take me years to do," Walker said, noting that in some cases, Chinese media outlets referred to her organization. "Am I responsible for every news article across the globe?"
The group had even more difficulty providing transcripts and details of speakers at their event, since they hosted informal gatherings such as "rant contests" where anyone could come and express their views.
While the IRS awarded the Waco Tea Party tax-exempt status about six weeks ago, Walker said the group was now considering suing the agency since the process not only consumed time and effort but prompted the group to scale back its 2012 get-out-the-vote operation. "We were afraid to do it and get in trouble," she said.
Sal Russo, chief strategist for the Tea Party Express, said that even though the agency's actions intimidated tea party adherents, he gives the IRS "credit for standing up and admitting" it targeted them. And while only two of the agency's officials - the commissioner and the chief counsel - are political appointees, Russo said the administration needs to conduct better oversight.
"The culture is set at the top," Russo said. "Obviously you can't control what every employee does. But you have to set a standard, particularly with the IRS, to be squeaky clean."
