Fantastic! I would think the moral at your work is much better as well. Keep up the good work.
LA82- you stated your opinion. now here are the facts!!!
Y. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.Fact!!! Unless you can pull it from thin air!!!
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.FACT!!The government has nothing! EVERYTHING they get is from the people that work and earn it, unless the government takes it away!!!!!!
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."* Common sense!!! you should get some!!!!!
> Adrian Rogers, 1931
This is probably the five best sentences you'll ever read. This is one paragraph that should be in every book in every school room in every city in every state in our great Union . Our educators should make a lesson plan on this one statement and beat these words into every head in every class in every state in these United States of America . And, every elected official should commit it to memory and repeat it out loud everyday.
> "You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

He has no back bone, not man enough to take responsibility. He is definitely NOT a leader in any way, shape, or form!
Just an embarrassment to himself, his family, and the city that he has run even further in the ground.
He obviously has no conscience, and what about what his kids will learn in the coming years. How he sold the city down the river? Legacy? that's not one I would want to leave.
pygmalian - Thanks for the link, I thought for sure that was a pic of the North Shore. It did look like a cow pasture.
They will get it, they almost always do. The people who will back it or the ones who will benefit from it by jobs and favors. Just like there is no such thing as a temp increase in anything. Just like gambling only on water. It's all just a game to get a foot hold then they ease their way into what ever they want. Like a poison once it gets in your system it just keeps spreading.
35taxpayer - You know I think you may have hit on something.
JohnRingo - I think if you got together with 35taxpayer you both would have it made.
That was one of if not the best and most articulate blogs I have ever seen on here.
My hat is off to you...
I almost forgot why I stopped writing to these blogs.
Too much hate and no answers, just blame everyone without even knowing who is at fault.
This problem and most of the others have been going on before I was born. That would be in the 40's.
Nothing has changed and from the looks of it, never will.
The best cure for all of these problems is education. Know the problems, know the issues, and know the people who are running. Only then will we see a change. Just is important is to hold each and everyone of them accountable.
EnuffBS - I like your style.
It will be interesting to see what everyone is saying 6 months or a year from now, when things are even worse.
Voting for a bill that no one has even read is like buying a used car without seeing it. Is that a good idea? Is that the kind of representation anyone wants? What happened to all the promises of a transparency of government?
us, them
white, black
rich, poor
etc, etc...
He is guilty and so is Vince, I think he will be going down the river as well.
Does anything else matter. Do the crime and hopefully you do the time.
New Orleans has been shrinking for generations now. It's not because of Katrina but the city politicians. Nothing will change until all the crooks are gone. Its embeded in the history it's the way things have been done here for so long. New Orleans has so much potential and all of it wasted because of greed. It's just a matter of time before it will be no more.
Sorry to be so pessimistic I just don't see any changes coming.
I ride a bike for fun and exercise, but I refuse to ride on any street. I was almost hit twice. I have learned my lesson. It's dangerous enough to drive in this city, riding a bike is suicide.

ignit citizens of N.O. why dont you all back off of the mayor. He is a good leader but apparently none of you can see that. He challenges those who screw up and makes sure they do their jobs. That is a good mayor in my book. He keeps those city council members in line as they should be. Thank you Mayor Nagin and please forgive these blogger for they know not what they say
Timmy, you've been sniffing way too much crab boil.
Astrid - Thank you for all of your posts. I agree with almost everything you say, and you say it better than I could.

Anything better than what dumbo (bush) did in eight years would be great.......girleeeeeeeeeeee
You better hope so Crudearl, because a lot depends on it. Keep in mind Bush warned the Dem congress of the problems with Fannie and Freddie. They stuck their heads in the sand. Lets hope they come up for air and take a look around before its too late.
girleeeeeee? grow up!
Posted by Crudearl on 11/09/08 at 11:37AM
You're right, but a President with a majority can get things done.........bouyeeeeeeeeeeee
THE QUESTION IS!!! What; What is he going to get done. Raising taxes when in a recession or worst yet a depression?........ bouyeeeeeeeeeeee
Another point where is he going to get the money to pay for everything he promised. One he could put the country further in debt which will only make it worse, much worse. Second he can tax,tax, and tax.
Which soloution sounds best to you?
All of Obama's promises sound great. The problem I have is where is he going to get the money?
McCain said one thing in one of the debates that summed it all up.
If you charge a company a higher tax rate, knowing they can go somewhere else and pay less what do you think they are going to do. One they will charge more and who do you think in the end will pay for the higher taxes not the company; you and me. Second they may just decide to leave. Haven't any of you heard about all the corporations going overseas?
Ask yourself what would you do it a job paid say $1,000.00 a week and you had to pay 40% in taxes or you could take another job paying the same and pay only 30% taxes, which job would you take?
I voted for McCain, but now that Obama is President elect than I will support him; as long as he is helping our country. All any of us can do now is wait and see what direction he takes us in.
I did not vote for McCain because of his race. I voted for Nagin the first time. I would have supported Thomas. Problem you never know what their real agenda is until its too late. BUT when that happens please, please don't elect them for another term, no matter what race they are. Another example is Mayor Price. Case in point they all do it or at least most of them. Them being politicians.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. We have been together for 5 years and this scent is what he used when we first met. Since that time when he finished the bottle he had, we could never find the product again. A friend had suggested to check fragrance x for the scent and i was shocked it was available. He was so excited when he opened it on Christmas. Definitely will buy it again

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
IFRANE, Morocco, Feb. 13, 2006 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld thanked Moroccan leaders last night and today for Morocco's cooperation in counterterrorism efforts.
Rumsfeld met with King Mohammed VI at the king's mountain retreat here today to wrap up a three-day visit to North Africa designed to strengthen the military relationships between the United States and Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
The king is Morocco's head of state and also serves as the country's defense minister. Earlier, the secretary held talks with Prime Minister Driss Jettou, Foreign Minister Mohamed Benaissa, Deputy Defense Minister Abderrahmane Sbai and other government officials.
"We've had an excellent trip to Morocco," Rumsfeld said. "We've had a longstanding treaty of friendship with Morocco since, I believe, 1787 - a very longstanding relationship, and a very positive and constructive one."
The Treaty of Peace and Friendship negotiated in 1787 between the United States and Morocco and renegotiated in 1836 is still in force. It's the longest unbroken treaty relationship in U.S. history, State Department officials said.
In June 2004, the two countries signed a comprehensive bilateral free trade agreement, and Morocco was designated a major non-NATO ally of the United States. U.S. Navy ships make scheduled port visits in Morocco, and the country allows coordinated access by U.S. forces to its facilities, air space and territorial waters.
Rumsfeld said he told Morocco's leaders how much the United States appreciates their cooperation in the counterterrorism effort.
"It is important," he said. "It is a danger to the world that can only be dealt with by the very close cooperation of a great many countries, and the thoughtfulness and energy that they put into these activities makes a big difference to our success and to their success."

ERWIN — The Joint Economic Development Board of Unicoi County has answered a complaint filed last month by the Unicoi Water Utility District Board and is seeking its dismissal as a defendant in the case.
In a complaint filed in Chancery Court on Jan. 14, the water board said it was tasked with replacing a 4-inch water line with a 10-inch water line from Unicoi Elementary School to a tract of property located off Exit 32 owned by Exit 32 LLC, a company promoting a development at the site that was to include a hotel, convenience center, restaurant and other businesses.
The complaint said the project's final cost was $82,219.13, and Exit 32 LLC had agreed to reimburse the utility district one-third of the cost if the development was not "generating significant water usage in three years."
In September 2008, the town of Unicoi also agreed to contribute one-third of the project's cost, and the economic development board later agreed to do the same, the complaint said. These two local entities, along with Exit 32 LLC, are named as defendants in the complaint.
The complaint said Exit 32 LLC has not paid its $27,739 contribution toward the project as promised. The water board is not seeking damages or money judgments from the town of Unicoi or the economic board, but is seeking a declaratory judgement from the court that says that even though these two entities have interest in the project, they would have no right or legal ability to prevent the utility district from taking the water line out of service until it is more "fiscally feasible."
The water board said in its complaint that the water line continues to require maintenance and upkeep, even though the proposed development has not come to fruition.
The economic board met Feb. 3 to discuss the pending litigation and voted to hire attorney Doug Shults and approved Shults' recommendation to seek dismissal from the complaint.
In the answer and accompanying motion to dismiss filed Wednesday afternoon in Chancery Court, Shults said:
- The complaint filed by the water board does not allege the economic board has any legal or regulatory authority over the utility district.
- The economic board acquired no propriety or security interest in the water lines by virtue of its monetary contribution of $27,739 for the water line upgrade project.
- The complaint does not allege that any controversy or dispute exists between the utility district and the economic board.
"All parties agree that the installation of these water lines was to promote economic development for the county and town of Unicoi," the answer document said. "The mere fact that this defendant assisted other entities in economic development does not create grounds for a lawsuit from a party that received the benefit of the contribution."
The answer also said the proposal to take the 10-inch water line out of service, while not in the best interest of economic development, would not harm the economic board.
"This defendant would note that said proposal may harm the co-defendant, the town of Unicoi, which is the owner of real property, served by the new water lines in the Unicoi Village Development," the answer said.
Economic Development Board Executive Director Tish Oldham said the board has no additional comment on the matter at this time, as it is still in the court process. Neither the town of Unicoi nor Exit 32 LLC had responded to the complaint as of Friday afternoon. No court date has been scheduled in the matter.
In a news release issued Friday, Chairman John Mosley said the utility district "had no other choice" but to take legal action, as it must find a solution to the ongoing expenses associated with the water line project since the proposed development project has not been successful.
"The town of Unicoi and the Unicoi County Development District were our partners in this project, and are necessary parties to this legal matter because we believe they deserve a right to have a say in the outcome," Mosley said in the release.
"Even though we regret that we had to take legal action, we felt we had to try to recoup the expenses that have not been repaid from the project by Exit 32, LLC and to stop the ongoing monthly expense.
"We intend to and want to partner in the future with the town of Unicoi and the Unicoi County Development District for the betterment of the county and of all our citizens. We hope this present difficult situation can be used as a way to bring all of these involved groups together to resolve our problem and make our community stronger and more prosperous."comments powered by Disqus

Lynn following in Gloucester hero Derrick Daley courageous' footsteps
Posted: April 13, 2014|
CHARITY hero Derrick Daley's legacy is living on as his daughter prepares to get her running shoes on.
Lynn Walsh has vowed to carry on in her father's brave footsteps after he lost his long battle with cancer last year.
Derrick, from Kingsholm, died after losing his fight with bowel cancer aged 65. He had been given only 18 months to live when he was diagnosed aged 57.
During his eight-year battle, he became a fundraiser and set up Race4Men, taking part in the annual 5km run at Plock Court despite his ill health.
Related content
Lynn, 42, from Cinderford, said Derrick faced countless visits to hospital for a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.
She added: "Tough as it was, he persevered and kept the treatment going. He was in more pain than he ever admitted, but with the love and support of his wife, Sandra and the rest of his family, he found a reason to keep fighting before he developed secondary lung cancer and he died a year ago".
Now Lynn and her daughter, Shannon, nine, will be raising money by taking part in Race for Life at Gloucester Park on Sunday, June 22.
Cancer Research UK's Race for Life is inspiring women to take part in a series of 5km and 10km events.
Lynn said: "My dad was an incredible fighter and during the years he survived he wanted to help others. He ran the Race4Men many times, including when he was having chemotherapy.
"I have encouraged my daughter to join me in the Race for Life as it is really important the next generation is aware how important it is to help in the fight against cancer."

Definición de Yugoslavia en inglés:
Yugoslavia was formed as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes in the peace settlements at the end of the First World War. It comprised Serbia, Montenegro, and the former South Slavic provinces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and assumed the name of Yugoslavia in 1929; its capital was Belgrade. After the Second World War, during which Yugoslavia was invaded by Germany, the country emerged as a non-aligned Communist federal republic under Marshal Tito. In 1990 Communist rule was formally ended. Four of the six constituent republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia) then seceded amid serious civil and ethnic conflict. The two remaining republics, Serbia and Montenegro, declared a new federal republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. This was dissolved in 2003, being replaced by the Union of Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006 Serbia and Montenegro voted to become independent republics

The Marriage
When they were canopied, and had the
To lace their spirits in the trembling cup,
And all the holy words sang round their
In tribute to the maker and the vine,
He saw the leeching sea lap, like darkness,
Up her summer's gown, as if dark time
And he should race to claim the maidenhead.
When he smashed the cup, then ruin spread.
The dazzled floor showed sea and blood.
Beyond this harvest that the ritual bore
(Their mothers weeping on the farther
They saw the journeying years extend.
And Zion's hill rose for their reckoning.

Most books on the history of mathematics concentrate their attention on Western mathematics. There is usually some mention of other cultures, but it is not extensive. Mathematics Across Cultures is an attempt to tell the rest of the story. It collects articles on the mathematics of non-Western cultures and on the historiographical issues raised by studying this mathematics.
The articles can be divided into three groups. First, there are several methodological articles. These deal with how mathematics is (or can be) communicated across cultures, with what is usually called "ethnomathematics", with philosophical issues about rationality and logic and how they might vary from one culture to another, etc. D'Ambrosio's article, proposing a broad historical framework for understanding the relationship between Western and Non-Western mathematics, is particularly interesting.
The second group of articles discuss the mathematics of cultures that are often discussed in history books: Ancient Iraq (aka Mesopotamia), Ancient Egypt, Medieval Islam, India, China. What is particularly interesting here is the point of view: the authors insist on viewing these mathematical traditions in their own terms, and not in terms of how they anticipated or influenced Western mathematics. The articles by Robson and Ritter are particularly nice.
Third, there are articles on cultures that are discussed much less often: the Hebrew mathematical tradition, the Incas and other Mesoamerican cultures, the Sioux, Pacific cultures, Australia, Subsaharan Africa, Korea, Japan. These are fascinating, and mostly new to me.
Overall, we have here a valuable corrective and supplement to the usual history books.

blocking out specific website from firefox/safari?
is there a way? there is a certain website I dont want my gf going to... is there a way I can do this? perhaps through a router or something?
Choosing which websites users can view:
If you have an administrative account on a computer, you can control which websites users can view in Safari. Users will be able to view only those websites that are in the bookmarks bar. In addition, they will not be able to enter web addresses in the address field, use the Google search field, or modify any of the bookmarks.
Log in as the user, and open Safari.
Choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, and deselect "Enable parental controls."
Enter an administrator's name and password when asked.
Add bookmarks for the websites you want the user to visit in the Bookmarks Bar. Remove all other bookmarks from the Bookmarks Bar.
When you're done, choose Safari > Preferences, click Security, and select "Enable parental controls."
When you add a page to the Bookmarks Bar, the user will be able to visit any page on that site. For example, if you add a bookmark for http://www.apple.com/index.html, the user will be able to visit any page at apple.com, and not just index.html.
While you're still logged in as the user, try to access the sites you want that user to view, so you can make sure the user can still view them. For example, some web pages don't display content but transfer you automatically to a page on a different site. If you want a user to view that content, both sites (the original site and the site you're transferred to) must be in the bookmarks bar.
Parental controls does not prevent a user from viewing websites in other browsers. To prevent a user from using other web browsers, use the Accounts pane in System Preferences to set up the parental controls for Finder & System, and choose the applications the user can open.
safari's parental controls are really dumb. he would have to bookmark EVERY site he wanted her to be allowed to use
Firefox can do it with the BlockSite extension.
if it is just a few sites i suggest you do it via your router....

If the house has been there since 1988, why didn't the assessor's office notice it was there for the past 20 years?
I also will find out on the Legislative website who voted against this bill and will also give them a campaign donation. This is a shameful act.
My condolences to everyone who affected by this tragic accident. My prayers will be with you all.
To those talking about driving rules, I have a question. I have never looked in my mirror before making a left hand turn to see if someone was on the wrong side of the road. After learning of this tragedy, I will certainly do so in the future. Is this the law?
I am so sorry for the residents of this fire district. Their homeowner's insurance willl go out of sight, if they can even get any without fire services. They will also have to pay more for loans or whatever other funding may come their way. The residents are being punished for the incompetence of the commissioners and fire administration who should be there to protect them. They should all be replaced.
Shame on the bond commission for punishing the residents of this district because of the incompetence of a few. We all need to pay more attention.
Why are St. Tammany taxpayers subsidizing federal and state prisoners? If they take up more than half of the prison population, why aren't they paying more than half of the cost?
This doesn't sound right at all.
I am furious that this is the result of four years of work. I wouldn't have a job if four years after a major project was assigned, I reported back six options, four of which said MOVE AWAY.
And they wouldn't let us talk or question. At one point I wondered if I was still in America.
I felt as if I was expendable last night- 'we're sending extra water your way to protect Orleans but can't help you cause it will cost too much and may send extra water to Mississippi.' It was obvious that they never looked at the region as a whole to make plans.
Shame on them. I pray our leaders in Washington put a stop to this insanity.
I hope a good candidate emerges. Under no circumstances will I vote for a Senator Vitter. I don't care who he sleeps with. I care that he presents a 'holier than thou' facade and does as he pleases. He does not represent the honest people of this state.
I wanted to be able to vote on a casino. I have no problem with legitimate, regulated gaming. It can be fun.
This, however, appears to be backdoor and shady. How can the state license this in our community without a vote? The parish council needs to step up and stop this now.
This is an outrage.
Isn't $10 million enough for St. Tammany Parish citizens to pay to house local prisoners? Why not shut down the parts not housing local prisoners, reduce costs by half, and there might even be a surplus AND we'd keep local prisoners off the street. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
If the state prisoners are taking up almost half the beds, the state should pay half the cost. St. Tammany citizens should be asked to pay more.
I wish they had passed the raise to take effect after another election cycle. I believe that the legislators should have better pay but it is bad form to vote it in the way it was done.
It seems to me that right now you need to be a lawyer or very wealthy to be financially able to serve in the legislature. A regular businessperson, or employee, would not be able to take off work or business for 6 months of the year.
The alternative is fewer sessions and less state government legislation, which may also be a good idea. I'd much rather have government at the local level.
I don't understand your comment. No one asked for money.
I wish they'd just buiild the shopping center. I'm tired of having to drive across the lake to do a lot of my shopping. We need this here and might as well keep the sales tax here too.

Qupe Syrah Bien Nacido Hillside Estate Vineyard 2008
Syrah/Shiraz from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
The Hillside Estate Syrah shows notes of black pepper, raspberries, cola and Provençal herbs. The flavors round out into friendly accents of sweet French oak. This is a high-quality wines that could benefit from a few years in the cellar.
Critical Acclaim
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Black cherries, plums, menthol, licorice and tobacco all burst from the glass in the 2008 Syrah Bien Nacido Hillside Estate. This is one of the most intense, powerful wines I have ever tasted from Qupe, but there is more than enough depth and pure texture in the fruit to fill out the broad shoulders nicely. A dark, brooding finish full of intrigue adds character and complexity. The 2008 is big, explosive and exuberant. And drop-dead gorgeous. If opened today, the 2008 needs quite a bit of air, but it is fabulous. Bob Lindquist gave the 2008 20 months in Francois Freres barrels, 50% new."
Wine Enthusiast - "Massive blackberry, cherry, currant and mocha flavors characterize this dry, potent Syrah. At the age of five, it's round and mellow in the mouth, with firm tannins and a gentle scour of acidity. Just beginning to show its stuff. Drink now–2018."
International Wine Cellar - "Glass-staining ruby. Vibrant aromas of cassis, cherry-cola, candied licorice and Asian spices. Juicy, supple and sweet, with intense cassis and red berry flavors complicated by notes of lavender, licorice, fresh herbs and black pepper. Very syrah in character. Bright acidity adds cut to the long, gently tannic, penetrating finish."
Wine & Spirits - "Grown at a five-acre block planted for Bob Lindquist in 1992, this is pent-up in dense tannin and wood, along with a suggestion of salted plum fruit. With a day of air the tannins are still resolute, but the wine is more layered—its stony, foresty savor supporting a bright ping of cool blue fruit. There's plenty of acidity to freshen the imposing frame, it just needs time—a 2001 Hillside Estate tasted recently was just hitting its stride; a '96 was perfectly resolved."

Qupe Winery
Qupe was founded in 1982 by Bob Lindquist. Located at the Bien Nacido Vineyard in northern Santa Barbara County, Qupe's current production is about 25,000 cases. Varietals produced include Chardonnay, Syrah, Marsanne, Viognier, a Syrah/Mourvedre blend, a Viognier/Chardonnay blend and Roussanne. View all Qupe Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

These graphs show carbon dioxide measurements at the Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii. The graphs display recent measurements as well as historical long term measurements. The related website summarizes in graphs the recent monthly CO2, the full CO2 Record, the annual Mean CO2 Growth Rate, and gives links to detailed CO2 data for this location, which is one of the most important CO2 sites in the world.
This activity uses geophysical and geochemical data to determine climate in Central America during the recent past and to explore the link between climate (wet periods and drought) and population growth/demise among the Maya. Students use ocean drilling data to interpret climate and to consider the influence of climate on the Mayan civilization.
In this activity for undergraduates, students explore the CLIMAP (Climate: Long-Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction) model results for differences between the modern and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and discover the how climate and vegetation may have changed in different regions of the Earth based on scientific data.
In this activity from the Deep Earth Academy, students divide into groups to read and discuss one of nine short articles (1-2 pages) about research done by the Ocean Drilling Program. These articles discuss our understanding about past climate based on collected data. These articles briefly describe the research conducted and the findings. Students use the information from the article to complete a write-up that they share with other students. An extension activity involves examining ocean drilling data using Google Earth.
Key figure from the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that shows changes in global average surface temperature, global average sea level, and Northern Hemisphere snow cover from as far back as 1850.
This video describes the role that dendrochronology plays in understanding climate change, especially changes to high elevation environments at an upper tree line. Dendrochronologists from the Big Sky Institute sample living and dead trees, describe how correlations between trees are made, and explain how tree cores record climate changes.
Two graphs from the NASA Climate website illustrate the change in global surface temperature relative to 1951-1980 average temperatures. The NASA plot is annotated with temperature-impacting historic events, which nicely connect an otherwise challenging graphic to real-world events.
This activity with a lab report instructs students to solve and plot 160,000 years' worth of ice core data from the Vostok ice core using Excel or similar spreadsheets to analyze data. Students learn about ice cores and what they can tell us about past atmospheric conditions and the past atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CH4.
In this activity, students will use oxygen isotope values of two species of modern coral to reconstruct ambient water temperature over a four-year period. They use Microsoft Excel, or similar application, to create a spreadsheet of temperature values calculated from the isotope values of the corals by means of an algebraic equation. Students then use correlation and regression techniques to determine whether isotope records can be considered to be good proxies for records of past temperatures.
This graph, based on key ice core data sets and recent monitoring programs, shows the variations in concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere during the last 400,000 years.

Founder of Aikido (07): Self Education and Independence
by Kisshomaru Ueshiba
Aiki News #36 (May 1980)
We would like to thank Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba for his kind permission to publish these chapter summaries.
This chapter concerns the Founder's attempts to define his future role in society, near the beginning of his psychological and physical evolution from weakness to strength.
When the Founder entered the newly-established (1896) Tanabe High School, he was groping in the dark with respect to his future. The priesthood which his mother wanted him to pursue was neglected and budo had not yet come into his life, and his physical frailty seemed to rule out farming or fishing. According to his sister Kiku, he was interested in physics and mathematics at this time, and may have been considering a teaching career.
His mathematical leanings and his inclination toward striking out on his own are both reflected in his persuading his family to let him quit high school after only one year and enroll in the Yoshida Abacus Research Institute, a local private school with an excellent reputation in its field.
Endowed with a quick hand, an excellent memory, and the ability to calculate quickly in his head, he quickly became an outstanding student. He may well have had the makings of a calculating genius, and it is interesting to speculate that he later put this talent to use in his aikido. It is not merely "Divine Technique" resulting from rigorous training and austerities, but perhaps this intellectual element as well, which best explains his ability to perceive the opponent's movement completely and instantaneously, and then to choose the best possible response in evading the attack.
After achieving top grades at the Yoshida Institute, the Founder got a job with the tax office as an accounting specialist. One day a tax official from Tokyo, a Mr. Akabane, happened by the office on an official audit. He was greatly impressed by the Founder's efficiency and offered to arrange a transfer to one of the Tokyo offices. Although a transfer to Tokyo was the first step toward advancement for any government employee, the Founder politely refused the offer. However, according to his sister Kiku, Mr. Akabane's words may have moved him to the realization that his destiny was somehow bound up with going to the big city, and apparently the Founder once said that this was what he owed Mr. Akabane.
It was at about this time, at the age of 17, that the Founder became involved in the "Sulfur Affair," a movement by the hard-pressed local fisherman to protest the grievances they were suffering from the harsh and sometimes corruptly inequitable enforcement of a strict new "Fishing Industry Law." Filled with sympathy for the fishermen and with indignation at the fact that some of the wealthiest fishermen were using political influence to block the licensing of their poorer competitors, the Founder disregarded his own interests, as he often did later in life when moved by a principle. He quit his job at the tax office to work on the protest movement, which he pursued with great boldness. On one occasion when a local official appeared on Oki-no-Jima, an island in Tanabe Bay where the fishermen were having a meeting, "If you make any complaints, I'll throw you into the area that the Founder had cast away any lingering shadows of his boyhood weakness.
Nevertheless, his participation in the ill-fated protest movement undoubtedly exacerbated feelings of humiliation and inferiority, which emerged in constant showers of self-criticism: "Why do you have to be so young!", "What were you doing wasting your time at some low-level, paper-pushing tax job!" and even "Why do you have to be a five-foot shorty!" were among his outbursts at himself.
At this time he made a firm decision to go to Tokyo. His father, despite the inconvenience which he had undoubtedly suffered, as a city council member, from his son's activity in the "Sulfur Affair," gave him some money and said, "Do whatever you want with this." So at the age of 18, in 1904 [actually 1901], Morihei set off for Tokyo, alone.
After a couple of months as a live-in apprentice to a merchant, followed by a modest but successful half-year selling stationery items and school supplies from a push-cart, the Founder came to realize, as he told Mr. Takashi Sanji, "That my personality was destined to do 'Musha Shugyo' [austere Martial training by travelling and training with as many teachers as possible]."
After a full work-day, he studied jujutsu at night with Mr. Takisaburo Tobari [actually Tokusaburo Tozawa] at a dojo for the study of Kito-Ryu [actually Tenjin Shinyo-ryu jujutsu], located in the area of Asakusa Nanamagari. (Later, in life, the Founder would recall this teacher by the name of Tokusaburo Tozawa, but my investigations reveal no one by that name teaching jujutsu at that time. So I think that he must have had a slip of memory. Mr. Tobari was a well-known teacher in Asakusa, and, pending further investigation, I have put his name into the record.)
Despite the respectable pedigree of this Kito Ryo, tracing back to a "Yawara" system founded in the time of the fourth Tokugawa shogun, the Founder had some doubts about both the efficacy of the techniques and the spiritual training that this ryu could offer. After a while, he also took up kendo in an Iidabashi dojo of the Shinkage Ryu, but this association seems to have been very brief and to have left only the vaguest of memories.
Perhaps as a result of the unhealthy city food the Founder contracted a severe case of beriberi, and when the time came for his physical examination for military conscription, he turned his business over to his employees and bought a first-class ticket home. Kiku recalled,"He just suddenly popped in empty-handed and said, I went up to Tokyo with only one kimono and I have returned… with only one kimono. At that he and his father both burst out laughing."

Nashville, Tennessee is a nexus — a point where tradition and innovation intersect, where commerce collides with art, and where The SteelDrivers have found a home.
The band plays Down Home Friday at 8 and Sunday at 7:30 p.m.
Nashville may be the only town around where salaried songwriters and full-time session musicians are as common as accountants and schoolteachers. Music is the product, and the factories line the street, from the swank Music Row mini-high-rises to the low-slung Sylvan Park bungalows. And only Nashville could give birth to a band like the SteelDrivers: a group of seasoned veterans – each distinguished in his or her own right, each valued in the town's commercial community – who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls' reward. In doing so, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design, bringing together country, soul, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band's fusion as simply "an incredible combination."
Since the release of The SteelDrivers (2008) and Reckless (2010), The SteelDrivers have been nominated for three Grammys, four IBMA awards and the Americana Music Association's New Artist of the Year. They were presented the International Bluegrass Music Association's award for Emerging Artist of the Year in 2009. That same year the band spent a week in Georgia as part of the cast in the movie "Get Low."
The movie, which starred Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray, featured a soundtrack that included four tunes by The SteelDrivers. In 2011, the English pop star Adele began performing the SteelDriver's song "If It Hadn't Been For Love" in her live performances. Her opinion of The SteelDrivers is: "They're a blues, country, bluegrass, swagger band and they are brilliant."
They have been invited to perform on numerous radio and TV shows ranging from The Grand Ole Opry to NPR's Mountain Stage to the Conan O'Brien show.
Down Home is located at 300 W. Main St. Tickets are $25 in advance. For more information, call 929-9822 or visit www.downhome.com.

|Very small seed -- press into surface of potting soil and keep moist until germination. Keep seedlings in a gallon pot for a year before transplanting outdoors, or maintain the plant in a large pot, as it does reasonalble well in potted culture.
|Does well in pots. The plant prefers a warm exposure -- full sun, fast-draining soils. I'd guess they are hardy to 20 degrees F. Heimia is really a woody bush, and the yellow flowers are very nice. The bush can be trimmed like a hedge, and it doeesn't mind this treatment a bit.

|Woody or herbaceous perennial bee plant bearing large yellow flowers. This plant is a source of the alkaloidal molecule known as crogenine, which is partially responsible for the hypotensive and sedative effects. Traditionally, the wilted leaves are made into a sun tea, allowed to brew and ferment for at least 24 hours before straining and drinking. The tea encourages a sense of well-being, tinting the vision with amber light, assisting with recollection of past events while promoting calmness and a sense of unity with all nature.

Australian Trucking Corporation Condemned After Firing a Female Driver for Making Emergency Pit Stop at a McDonald's
March 12, 2012
Male co-workers demand she be reinstated immediately; Toll Group's termination of union-supportive worker reeks of retaliation, discrimination and illegal surveillance
LOS ANGELES – An $8.8 billion Australian transportation corporation has escalated its attack on its Latino-American workers by firing a mother of three for stopping to use a McDonald's restroom during her delivery route. The cruel termination of Xiomara Perez, a 46-year-old port truck driver who has already been outspoken about the filthy, unsanitary outhouses that lack running water at her worksite, occurred amidst a rise of pro-union solidarity actions by Perez and her co-workers.
"I simply stopped because it was an emergency," said Ms. Perez, who is one of two female employees out of the 75 who drive trucks for the global logistics giant in a male-dominated industry. "It's not safe to 'hold it' when you have to relieve yourself. Toll's management has been looking for any little excuse to fire those of us that speak out in support of our union. They have obviously been spying on us and the worst thing they could pin on me as retaliation is a quick stop to use the restroom at a McDonalds."
Toll Group maintains an unreasonably restrictive work policy prohibiting employees from stopping – even to use a restroom – when delivering a load. Friday's discriminatory firing ironically occurred on International Women's Day — and during the week its local U.S. executives received a visit from three Toll drivers from Sydney and a union official for the Transport Workers of Australia. The union's rank-and-file and leadership are outraged that the company treats their U.S. counterparts as second-class citizens when the company allows its 12,000 Down Under drivers to negotiate strong contracts with middle class pay, benefits, and safety improvements. The delegation was the source of embarrassing international headlines for Toll as it is trying to stake out a growth strategy in the U.S.
"The behaviour by Toll is truly shocking. Our delegates, tough 'truckies' who have worked in the industry for decades, are deeply distressed at the treatment of Xiomara," said Michael Aird, Senior Official of the Transport Workers Union, who headed the solidarity delegation. "It was obvious to them all what a leader she is; her courage in speaking with her workmates to stick together in the true tradition of Aussie mateship for a fair go was truly inspiring. We know Xiomara was sacked for wanting a union, and any worker that must endure management who fires a woman for needing to make a pit stop clearly needs one."
Dozens of Ms. Perez' male co-workers intended to deliver a letter today to Toll's Southern California management demanding she be reinstated. It states in part:
When a worker can be fired for making a quick stop to use the restroom or grab a quick snack to avoid feeling faint while being behind the wheel of a 18-wheeler, we know it's time for our union. We demand that Xiomara be reinstated at once.
It is unbelievable that "company policy" denies truck drivers the ability to use safety judgment to make a quick rest stop if we feel faint, tired, or have to urinate while we haul cargo.
It is unforgiveable that you have paraded out this policy as a cheap and unconvincing excuse to fire someone simply because you know she would vote yes in a union election.
It is unreal to hammer us with intimidating tactics that are the opposite of the business and cultural values that America or Australia stand for – freedom, rights, respect, and democracy.
As skilled, professional truck drivers, federal regulations require that we uphold our obligations and training as front-line workers to operate safely. The Department of Transportation mandates that if as drivers we feel fatigued, faint, famished, or any other condition that would interfere with our ability to haul safely we must stop to rest or replenish ourselves. Xiomara simply relieved herself and ordered a sandwich at a McDonalds when she takes these rules seriously.
Each of us would have done the same under the circumstances.
The Los Angeles Toll drivers have sought representation by the Teamsters union. Toll has delayed their legal right to vote on a union by exploiting weak labor laws.
"Driving an 18-wheeler is a lot of responsibility, if a truck driver feels faint or needs to go to the restroom, he or she should have the right to make a quick stop to ensure he is able to continue driving without risking the safety of everyone on the road," said Teamsters Vice President and Port Division Director Fred Potter. The New Jersey-based union official, where Toll is headquartered in the U.S., added: "When a group of American workers can be fired just for using the restroom, then there is absolutely no doubt that port truck drivers need their union to be able to protect themselves from these types of injustices."
Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa and Transport Workers Union National Secretary Tony Sheldon arrive in Los Angeles this week and have invited Ms. Perez as their special guest. She will now speak on a panel at a conference on green jobs in Downtown Los Angeles this week The egregious firing has prompted outrage from these two international transportation unions. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will introduce.
Today the Teamsters filed formal unfair labor practice charges on behalf of Xiomara with Region 31 of the nation's top labor agency. Her full story of the experience can be found by clicking here.
