It is Monday, April 23rd, and Hasbro has been kind enough to provide answers to the questions we asked last week!
Keep in mind that JoeSightings collaborated with several other Joe fansites out there to provide the most diverse selection of questions possible. General's Joes will be providing a central repository for the Q & A's from as many sites as possible to try and keep everything all in one spot.
Round One Questions and Answers:
Q - What is the current status of the figure tooling that was to be used for future DTC products, and is there any chance the Collectors' Club might get access to those tools?
A - We are currently focused on building Anniversary as the new standard in 3.75". However, we are aware that collectors are interested in DTC and will do our best to factor it into future plans.
Q - What are the chances of getting Anniversary style figures of characters that haven't gotten the action figure treatment yet (Kwinn the Eskimo, Pythona, Dr. Venom, etc...)?
A - This line is targeted to the fan of G.I. Joe from the 80s including current collectors and potential collectors. This fall's lineup was designed to welcome back fans of the brand that have not been actively engaged since the 80s and serve as a tribute to those fans that have been with us collecting since the beginning. As we grow our fanbase we would love to continue to take fans back deeper into the history of the brand and characters that they know and love.
Q - Since there seems to be a strong focus on 3 3/4" again, what does that mean for the 8" scale?
A - Our 8" will continue. As you can see from this fall's lineup, Kung Fu Grip will help lead the charge into the next generation of 8" product.
Q - While designing these figures, do you keep "tool reuse" in mind right from the start? For instance, did you design the Duke figure originally with the idea that you might use it for Flint in the future?
A - Yes, we create a tooling plan that will allow us to forecast how a tool will be re-used. In the case of the Annversary line, we have the added advantage of knowing which tools were re-used in the 80s. We can actually use their plan to help develop ours. This also allows it to remain a faithful tribute to the past 25 years.
There was a fifth question, but we are still waiting on an answer to that one. We will keep everyone posted as to the progress of that last question.
Everyone give a big thanks to Hasbro for taking some time to answer our questions! The 25th Anniversary is coming, YO JOE!

Some great questions and answers here and I love the fact that General Joes has links to all the different questions with their answers. A one stop shop. I think one of my favorite questions and answers was this one....
Q> Any chance of a return of the "Comic Pack" format?
A> The G.I. Joe comic was such a strong staple of the 80s that we would be remiss to neglect this part of our history. Stay tuned . . .

Only 6 weeks ago Hasbro really thought they were producing 3.75" figures, so this seems to be some sort of production oversight. This gives me hope that they will fix the scale in the next waves.

WACO (March 27, 2013) -- Baylor's 34th-ranked women's tennis team lost its first match in Big 12 match on Wednesday at the Hurd Tennis Center against No. 42 TCU, 4-2.
To kick off the match, BU struck first when its 29th-ranked doubles tandem of Ema Burgic and Victoria Kisialeva notched an 8-5 decision over No. 74 Millie Nichols and Olivia Smith.
TCU's Frederica Denti and Kelsey Sundaram followed up with an 8-4 victory on court 2 against Alex Clay and Jordaan Sanford.
The deciding match on court 3 was a back and forth contest. After mounting a three-set comeback to tie the match at 7-7, BU's Alex Leatu and Kiah Generette lost two sets in a row to fall 9-7 against Monika Sirilova and Gabi Barbosa.
"Every point helps, so obviously we would have liked to win the doubles," head coach Joey Scrivano said. "It would have put pressure on TCU in singles. That didn't happen, and we still had plenty of matchups that we felt like we were strong enough to win. We didn't."
In singles, Generette opened play with a straight-set 6-2, 6-1 victory over Nichols. Baylor pulled ahead 2-1 when 10th-ranked Burgic overcame No. 75 Olivia Smith 6-2, 6-3 on court 1. Burgic has now won six matches in a row to tally a 14-5 mark in dual-match play at the top of the lineup for Baylor.
"Ema and Kiah have been playing pretty well lately, but we need more positions to play better," Scrivano said. "That's just not happening."
However, the Horned Frogs would sweep the next three matches off, beginning with Sirilova's 6-2, 6-2 win against Maria Biryukova. On court 2, 120th-ranked Kisialeva was unable to pull off an upset against No. 71 Tan, and lost 6-3, 6-1. TCU would earn its final point on court 3 in a 6-1, 6-3 contest against Sanford. Leatu's match against Denti went unfinished.
"The thing is, you have to keep paying the price every day," Scrivano said. "Just because you're losing tough matches doesn't mean you stop fighting and stop putting in the work every day. There's still a lot of season left, and this is a younger team. There's a lot of tennis in front of them. We can not let one or two losses here and there really affect what you do every day."
TCU leads the all-time series 16-14. This is the first time BU has lost against TCU since 2004, snapping a seven-match win streak.
The Lady Bears will take a break from Big 12 action to face former league foe Texas A&M at 5 p.m. on Wednesday at the Hurd Tennis Center.

Wal-mart hired MTripp after he made some very strong assertions.
MTripp - are you worried that people you may have stopes might escalate the level of violence in subsequent shoplift/exit attempts?
Are you part of any union? I know in Australia there is a union for retail workers though I'm not sure if store 'Security' falls under this umbrella. I'd be getting the employees together and executing a peaceful protest to management. You shouldn'tbe made to feel responsible for workers not getting their bonus when your hands are tied by the company's ludicrous policy.

Wal-mart, have a union??? What color is the sky on your planet?
Seriously, no. Nor am I worried someone might come back. I wish someone would shoot me; so its a hope not a worry.

Given your name and location is associated with your post, is it safe for you to post the story here and claim that what you stated was an accident was actually intentional?
Don't get me wrong, you're entirely justified, I'm just paranoid about internet detectives.
Good story regardless."Emevas,

Stories of physical violence and proof of judo working is awesome and all, and I don't mean to be a Negative Liberal Nancy, but...
...you may or may not be legally allowed to detain people if they refuse to let you see the receipt. Does Wal-Mart's contract stipulate that one must submit to a search? It might.
...and many people consider receipt checking to be a dick thing anyway.

The summer Olympics kicked off today with a spectacular barrage of fireworks that ended with China's Li Ning, a six-time medalist, vaulting through the air on wires to take a victory lap around the rim of the massive stadium.
The lavish pageant -- and a blanket of security -- dwarfed anything previously seen at an Olympic opening ceremony.
The countdown to the Games was marked by 2,008 drummers pounding out the final seconds and, as the rockets were launched skyward, acrobats on wires descended from the rim of Beijng's new National Stadium, whose unique design has made it a star of the Olympic show.
Inside the stadium, dubbed the Bird's Nest, 91,000 people, including heads of state and royalty, were awed by the pyrotechnics overhead. To accommodate the crowds in the sprawling capital, fireworks were launched from 32 sites around the city. A worldwide television audience was expected to be as large as 4 billion.
The ceremony was full of elegant touches carried out by a cast of thousands that thrilled its audience.
When the lights went down in the stadium at 8 p.m., the Bird's Nest looked as if it had been transformed into a grand theater. A giant scroll unrolled as dancers dressed in black glided across the paper, painting Chinese characters with their arms and legs.
At one point over a thousand Chinese dancers wearing boxes over their heads formed the Chinese character for harmony, delighting the 91,000 in the stadium.
The Beijing crowd was boisterous and exuberant. Typical were the thousands of people at Ditan Park in central Beijing watching two large screens.
They cheered wildly and waved flags when the camera panned to Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin arriving. But when it showed President Bush entering the stadium, they jeered. Bush has criticized Chinese repression over the last two days.
The crowd, as fired up as any in a U.S. ballpark, also happily booed when a glitch cut the video for several moments.
The biggest outburst came when the last of the 204 teams entered the Bird's Nest. That team was Team China, led by Houston Rockets star Yao Ming holding the hand of a second-grade boy who survived the devastating Sichuan earthquake earlier this year. A deafening roar rose up in the city and Hu was seen on TV giving the team a special salute.
The fiery climax of the four hour extravaganza was the lighting of the Olympic torch. A relay by eight top Chinese Olympians brought the torch to four time gold medal gymnast Li Ning who was lifted by a wire into the air, through the roof of the Bird's Nest. After running a lap around the rim of the stadium roof carrying the torch, he finally lit the flame, triggering a barrage of fireworks throughout Beijing.
"I am so moved and proud tonight to see my country put on such an Olympic Games," gushed Wei Yiping, a journalist with the night off watching the beginning of the Games in the park.
Wang Dan, a student at the University of Economics and Foreign Trade, was just as proud. "This is the biggest holiday for Chinese people... This is a chance for the world to meet China," she said.
The extravaganza was billed as the largest-ever opening ceremony for the Olympics and it boasted some truly Olympian numbers:
- 30,000 fireworks
- 14,000 performers
- 80 world leaders
- 100,000 cops

The 31-year-old's initial deal expired following Vale's 4-0 home victory over Plymouth last weekend, but he will now remain with the League Two promotion chasers for the second half of the campaign.
Valiants manager Micky Adams said: "Liam has signed a contract to the end of the season and we're happy with that.
"We know what he's capable of doing. He's a steady Eddie. There's nothing flashy about his game and he doesn't get many headlines, but we're pleased to get him, particularly with the injury to John McCombe."
McCombe recently suffered knee ligament damage, and Chilvers will again take his place in the squad for Saturday's top-of-the-table clash at leaders Gillingham.

Football kicked off in the Monroe County Region with eight football teams playing home games.
To capture the excitement of family, players and supporters, Reporter Danielle Portteus visited five of the games tracking down what the night was like for football fans.
6:12 p.m.: Arrived at Whiteford High School to groups of fans setting up their tailgating for the game against Blissfield.
615 p.m.: Football mom Kara Schelton was enjoying a hot dog before the game with some friends. "I love the school spirit," she said. "It's amazing what the parents do for this team, they have bonfires and all kinds of things." She said she was also looking forward to the start of the season to see how the players looked.
6:20 p.m.: Brittany Eitniear was busy getting her tailgate meal while chatting with other Whiteford fans. "I love dressing up, the camaraderie, the team spirit."
Just a few moments later, parents and cheerleaders started to line up to form a tunnel welcoming the team into the stadium. "Oh, I love this," Mrs. Eitniear said.
6:25 p.m.: A group of young cheerleaders leads the crowd chanting, "Let's Go Blue" as players and the coaching staff walk down the line of tailgaters and into the stadium.
6:49 p.m.: Arrived at Summerfield High School for the beginning of the game pitting the Bulldogs against the Eagles from Erie Mason.
6:55 p.m.: Members of the Summerfield marching band take the field and play the school's fight song and the National Anthem.
7 p.m.: Mason's football players are the first to take the field to line up to receive the kickoff. Just a minute later, Summerfield kicks off the 2012 season.
7:02 p.m.: Mason runs its first play of the game, a running play gaining a couple of yards.
7:05 p.m.: Cheerleaders from Mason try to pump up the crowd of fans with a series of cheers. Kara Davis is the cheerleaders' head coach. It takes a lot of work to get the team ready for football. "We've been practicing for two to three hours a day four days a week since July," she said. "We have to do a lot in the summer to get ready."
7:12 p.m.: Craig and Garrett Linenkugel of Petersburg said they were enjoying the start of football season. "I enjoy coming here," Mr. Linenkugel said. "I like watching it and seeing the hits and the big runs," 12-year-old Garrett added.
7:18 p.m.: Shelby Spencer, 17, is a senior and the drum major at Summerfield. She explained that the marching band was a little unsure heading into this season. "We had lost our band director and we weren't sure we would have band camp," she explained. "We shortened band camp to two days and had instructors lined up." The band pulled together and practiced to be able to play at the first game.
7:22 p.m.: Summerfield scores its first touchdown of the season.
7:48 p.m.: Arrive at Dundee High School just a few minutes before half-time for the game against Grass Lake.
7:49 p.m.: Susan Arting was busy selling Dundee memorabilia for the Parent Teacher Student Association at the school. "Our football is important to our community," she said. "Just look at the turnout." Mrs. Arting and her sister, Jennifer Thorton, helped to run the concession stands as well. "I don't miss a game," Mrs. Arting added.
7:55 p.m.: Players head to the locker room for half-time.
8 p.m.: Members of the Dundee marching band take to the field. The group performed songs with the theme of "Dreams."
8:08 p.m.: Dundee seniors Vanessa Ewing, Kelly Scharboneau and Allison Salenbein said they were excited for their final year of high school football. "I love everything because it's our senior year," Vanessa said. "I like the break-away runs," Kelly added. "I just want to watch our boys on the field," Allison said.
8:14 p.m.: Both teams take the field for the second half.
8:34 p.m.: Arrived at Monroe High School for the game against Detroit Southeastern.
8:36 p.m.: Monroe scores a touchdown, but misses the extra point to go up by a score of 27-0.
8:45 p.m.: Monroe's game concludes the third quarter of play.
9:02 p.m.: Arrive at Navarre field for the St. Mary Catholic Central game against Detroit PEC.
Players are gathered on the field because the game concluded with a final score of 44-6. Family and friends are filing out of the stadium. Coaches are talking with players at one of the end zones.

Reiterating the Importance of Security
Written on January 27, 2013 by Victoria
We have discussed the many reasons a person should be vigilant about online security. There really is no way around going online to do some kind of activity. Today, classes and even homework is given and reinforced online. So instead of remaining backward or hiding from the inevitability of the Internet, it is better to know how to protect yourself and to exert all the necessary effort to do this.
The problem is that we often do not think negative things will happen to us. As long as it is a hypothetical, then it's importance is not deeply felt. Let's look at the latest case of online security fraud that has caught the nation's headlines. Footballer Manti Te'o and his girlfriend who supposedly died from leukemia but who in fact never existed is a classic example of how online security must be strictly applied. The latest news that the image of his girlfriend was actually a picture stolen off Facebook is further proof that it can happen to anyone, anywhere.
Let's remember to be safe and to apply our Internet security protocol at all times.

Robust competition for new and middle-age assets is helping to keep the price of assets high, but not all players are willingly to pay frothy figures in a less than stable economic environment.
"We are exercising a lot of discipline when we bid on assets, unlike our competitors, as we don't know if we are heading into another recession," says a lessor. "At Chi-Stat this year, we spoke with airlines that are deferring maintenance, as all of their assets are encumbered. They are trying to put off their problems until 2012, but that is when austerity cuts will really start to bite the average person on the street".
The lessor describes prices on new and 10-year old assets as "very strong".
On the bright side, he says, 2012 could see capacity pulled in response to a weakening economy, which could "put a lot of these overpriced assets on the ground, creating an ideal time to buy aircraft."

I really needed a brief walk on the positive side in the midst of educational budget bludgeoning in the media. This came in the form of Mount Airy City Schools Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) Coaches Patty Burgess and Lee Hunter and the Surry County Schools Teaching Technology Conference.
Part of what these educators are involved in really makes (get ready for the Shakespeare reference) a sea washed change in the way many of us are used to the Three Rs being delivered to us. Previously, the model was a cafeteria-style curtly described as "sage on the stage." Students walk in, sit down and shut up. The teacher, standing between students and knowledge (the blackboard), tells you what you need to know. That's it. No lather. No rinse. Just repeat.
Don't get me wrong. A lot of learning happened this way and as a parent I have used aggressive lecturing to reinforce positive behavior. (My kids hated the talk and sometimes longed to be given a spanking instead.) My impression is teachers are not abandoning many parts of this approach. The shift, the change will make teachers more of a "guide at the side."
As teacher Brittany Guy said, using technology to get the point across about the lesson during homework that night means less time the next day on what should have been learned. This frees time up for students to roll up their sleeves for some hands-on learning because there is more time for teachers to teach. How novel. That was the intent at the beginning of the process.
Cultural neutron bombs being what they are has forced me into using the Kentucky Fried Chicken bowl metaphor. You know, these are the bowls filled with layers of potatoes, chicken and what not. You always see more things added not subtracted in the commercials. It's like that with educators. More and more has been added on to schools which families used to do. Frankly, I don't think there's a way to turn the clock back on this. I just think it's sad that in previous years year-round education was discussed not because of learning but because the schools in some areas were the safest place for children.
Honestly, I like the potential for students to be more guided that goaded. What is being attempted could ultimately allow flexibility for students actively learning. It could allow a savvy child to have their freshman year of high school out of the way by the end of middle school which could be really handy in light of trends asking the younger to make up their mind what they want to do in life.
We all at some point have lived the saying "Just when I knew all of life's answers they changed the questions." Our children face a bewildering, quicksilver world where that educated guess becomes little more than a roll of the dice. Not the firmest footing for confident decision making but the good news is learning has and will continue. There's something endearing in the very core of teachers. They do what they do because they love children and making a difference in lives.
We could give them a lot of lemons and I have faith they will continue to make lemonade, spinning straw into gold. Up on your feet hometown fans, there is a lot of excitement out there about the new school year in Surry County.

Ballooning graduate programs look for way to control growth
Faced with declining state support and increasing numbers of graduate students, campus administrators are looking at ways to fund graduate education and to manage enrollment in graduate programs.
In the spring semester 2000, there were 7,433 graduate students on campus; this semester, there are 9,050, an increase of 1,617 students, according to the Division of Management Information.
"Our graduate programs are growing and have grown pretty steadily over the past several years," said Richard Wheeler, vice provost. "And we're at a point where growth is not a good thing for the university, so we need to find a way to control that growth."
Some graduate programs have ballooned beyond what units can support, given their resources, their graduation and time-to-degree rates, and other markers of graduate-program quality.
The challenge facing the campus is how to cover the direct costs of educating graduate students when it is not receiving tuition or other support. Campus administrators are looking for means of empowering the college deans to limit the number of graduate appointments that generate tuition waivers.
The Fellowship Office of the Graduate College collects tuition or payments in lieu of tuition from external funding agencies that provide it – but "there are several very prestigious fellowship programs that don't, and we don't want to lose those students, so we need to leave enough room in our system to make sure that we can capture those students where possible," Wheeler said.
Many external fellowship-funding agencies provide support directly to the student, but provide no funds to the campus unit incurring costs in educating that student.
Likewise, similar problems arise with endowed fellowships, which provide stipends to the students but nothing to the university units that provide classrooms, laboratories, faculty members and other components of their educational experience.
"The real question is: 'Should we expect donors who are contributing to endowments that will fund graduate fellowships to help pick up part of the cost of educating that student as well as the stipend?' " Wheeler said. "We would love to be able to capture some of those costs because the costs are very real. But we're kind of fellowship-poor here on campus, and we don't want to discourage people who otherwise could be persuaded to donate a significant amount of money to endowed graduate fellowships."
The committee also is considering closing a loophole with regard to gift funds and private contracts that pay stipends for research assistants but heretofore have been exempt from tuition remission to cover the cost of the students' education.
Over the next few weeks, Wheeler said he and the committee plan to continue discussions with campus units and complete a set of recommendations.
"If there is support for them at that point, then we will move ahead to implementation," Wheeler said. "There will be some phasing in. It will not affect students that already have assistantships. Indeed, for nearly all students with assistantships and most programs that support their teaching and research with assistantships, the proposed changes will have no effect at all. Every effort has been made to preserve the good work done by the current policies on graduate tuition waivers.
"This process has been extensively consultative. We've tried to provide assurances that we are not out to take away people's waivers. That's just not our task. Our task is to put together a policy that works better than the one that we have now."
Two proposals that were under discussion – one to increase minimum waiver generating assistantship from 25 percent to 33 percent time, and a proposal to create a category called "tuition-supported" assistantships that would not generate tuition waivers – have been put on hold and are no longer being considered, Wheeler said.
The proposal to increase the 25-percent assistantships was strongly opposed by many master's level programs that depend heavily on 25-percent assistantship appointments and by the Graduate Employees Organization, which represents many graduate students on campus.

Dr. Reese receives MSU Alumni Association Undergraduate Teaching Excellence Award
Dr. Robert Reese
During Mississippi State's 2006 Faculty Awards and Recognition Program Wednesday, Dr. Robert B. Reese received a university-wide honor, the MSU Alumni Association Undergraduate Teaching Excellence Award. The recognition program is organized by the alumni association and Office of Academic Affairs.
In the late 1980's, university faculty in electrical and computer engineering departments across the nation faced the challenge of bringing computer aided design (CAD) tools for chip design into the classroom. Industry tools were specialized and expensive, and available university tools were relatively primitive and problematic. Coming to MSU with related industry experience at MCC in Austin, Dr. Reese assumed the leadership role in meeting this formidable challenge and his success significantly enhanced the University's position nationally in this important area. His efforts provided the infrastructure for one of the components that led to the selection of MSU for an NSF ERC: expertise at MSU in VLSI hardware design. As a nationally recognized university leader in university CAD environments for education, Dr. Reese held a workshop for U.S. university faculty on The Use of Logic Synthesis in the Classroom under a National Science Foundation award.
The most important result of these efforts has been the opportunities
afforded to his students. Dr. Reese can count among his graduates employees
of essentially all of the major VLSI design houses across the nation (Intel,
Cypress Semiconductor, Motorola, Dallas Semiconductor, Sun Microsystems,
etc.). He has done this through a systematic integration of design synthesis,
simulation, and implementation into his classes.
Dr. Reese's educational philosophy is that you have "to do"
in order to learn. He makes sure every course has a strong out-of-the-classroom
component, either a formal lab that follows closely with the course or
structured homework or project exercises. He says he has also learned
"not to underestimate our students - if you challenge them, they
will respond, often with surprising results." In the words of one
of his computer engineering students, "The quality of his instruction
is unmatched by any faculty member I have had thus far at MSU. He teaches
his subject thoroughly and clearly, and provides as much outside-the-classroom
help as is needed."

Retailers are assertively preparing their shipping operations to avoid delivery and service issues this year, according to Shop.org's eHoliday survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, which found that nearly 80% of retailers surveyed will set their standard shipping deadlines for guaranteed Christmas delivery to expire at least one week before the big day, compared to just over 73% who said so last holiday season. Additionally, roughly 21% will set those deadlines to expire Dec.
Sales in November and December are expected to increase 3.9% to $602.1 billion, according to the National Retail Federation. The forecast is over 2012's actual 3.5% holiday season sales growth and higher than the 10-year average holiday-sales growth of 3.3%.
"Our forecast is a realistic look at where we are right now in this economy—balancing continued uncertainty in Washington and an economy that has been teetering on incremental growth for years," says NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay.
General retail-industry sales will increase 3.4%, according to the National Retail Federation's recently released 2013 economic forecast. The projection follows the recent 3% growth seen in holiday sales, as well as the NRF's preliminary projection of 4.2% growth seen in 2012.
Online sales are expected to grow between 9% and 12%—possibly just above the 11.1% growth seen in online sales this past November and December—according to Shop.org, NRF's digital division.
Online retailers are intensifying their efforts to attract eager shoppers with free shipping deals and other exclusive online promotions. More than 61% of online retailers started their online holiday-marketing promotions by Halloween, according to Shop.org's eHoliday survey conducted by BIGinsight. More than 38% will begin marketing their online promotions by mid-November or later.

Cooking and Baking
Quick and Easy Mac and Cheese
I'm in a bit of a quandry as my MIL passed away a few months ago and now, no one can find her recipe for an easy mac and cheese. None of us ever made it, it was just something she would serve when we had dinner at her home.
I do have my own recipe for mac and cheese, but it is more sophisticated and a lot more work. Plus my husband really wants this "comfort food." What I do know about her version is that you used uncooked elbow macaroni, shredded cheese (definitely cheddar and maybe another kind?) and poured milk, pretty sure whole or 2%, over the dish once assembled. Then it simply baked.
Can anyone help me with my problem?

Kim Kardashian has one thing to say to everyone criticizing her pregnancy weight gain: There's just more of me to love!
While the reality star has been catching a lot of flack lately for her growing baby bump (and hit-or-miss maternity style), she's trying not to stress out about it.
"I've always been curvy and I've always embraced my curves," she told Jay Leno last night. "Now there's just more to love. I have the rest of my life to be skinny and lose weight and I'm not really worrying about it."
While on "The Tonight Show," Kim also revealed one of her favorite baby names for her and Kanye West's son or daughter ... and no, it's not North, but it's close.

Good cause, interesting fit
These are fun looking and support a good cause. The fabric is very smooth. The fit is a little unusual in that the fabric stretches, but a little differently than other fabrics. It does not fit like a racing brief at all. As a result it is somewhere between a racing brief and a drag suit. I use for the latter. I originally ordered my normal size but had to go back and size up.

A TN.GOV Service
Tennessee Professional Geologists Licensing Program
Tennessee Professional Soil Scientists Licensing Program
Notice of Public Chapter 921 and Public Chapter 815
Pursuant to Tenn. Code. Ann. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession. As such, please accept this email to notify you of the passage of Public Chapters 921 and 815.
Public Chapter No. 921, amends Title 62, Chapters 18 and Chapter 36, relative to regulatory funds. This Act combines the geologist and soil scientist regulatory funds. Public Chapter 921 has been signed into law and takes effect July 1, 2014. A copy of this new law is available for review on the website of the Tennessee General Assembly at http://www.tn.gov/sos/acts/108/pub/pc0921.pdf.
Public Chapter No. 815, amends Title 40, Chapter 29, relative to restoration of citizenship. This Act allows certain persons beginning on January 1, 2015, who have had their rights of citizenship restored to petition the court for a certificate of employability. If a person obtains such a certificate, an agency may not deny the issuance, restoration or renewal of an occupational license solely on the person's past record of criminal activity but, instead, must consider each such applicant on a case-by-case basis. The certificate of employability preempts any existing rule that authorizes or requires the denial or refusal to issue, restore or renew a license based on the person's past record of criminal history; however, any agency may promulgate new rules which allow or require such a denial or refusal to issue, restore or renew a license notwithstanding the certificate based on the time elapsed since the criminal offense or the nature of the offense having a direct bearing on the fitness or ability to perform any duty or responsibility necessarily related to the sought license. Further, employers that hire individuals holding a certificate of employability may be provided with defenses to certain civil actions based on such hiring. This law became effective on April 28, 2014. A copy of the new law is available for review on the website of the Tennessee General Assembly at http://state.tn.us/sos/acts/108/pub/pc0815.pdf

Will Icahn sell his Apple Apple stake, just so he can buy Google Google stock? Then he can coax Apple to take over Google and end the Google Glass project! Will an activist join forces with Netflix Netflix, throwing in billions of dollars worth of shares to make a hostile bid for Time Warner, ending the Game of Thrones wars of 2014, and finally bringing the hit show to people who don't have HBO?
While I hold out hope for easier access to Game of Thrones, in all seriousness, if Ackman's move goes unchallenged, the new deal structure would provide a template for other ambitious activists to change the way companies are bought and sold. Major investors, long building up power and clout, would become the new power brokers for deals.
And as for Allergan? Well, we delved into the options open to the besieged and no doubt very surprised company in our coverage. But whether Allergan finds another suitor, fights to remain independent or makes a protective acquisition of its own, the clear winner here is Ackman.

Wind farm firm to buy gas from Cheniere
The 10-year agreement, announced Thursday, allows for 600,000 units of natural gas a day to transfer between the two companies. PPM is a subsidiary of Scottish Power PLC (NYSE: SPI and LSE: SPW).
High energy prices have generated an interest in liquefied natural gas as a fuel source, and that has resulted in a flurry of LNG projects along the Gulf
Please see CHENIERE 3D
Coast. Cheniere is moving forward with one of three LNG projects proposed in the Corpus Christi area, the other two by Occidental Energy Ventures and ExxonMobil.
"(Liquefied natural gas) will become a vital part of U.S. natural gas supply over the next several years and PPM will be well positioned to offer LNG along with domestic supply and storage services to its growing gas customer base," said Terry Hudgens, PPM's CEO, in a prepared statement.
Keith Meyer, Cheneire's president, said PPM had taken a proactive step in addressing this shortfall and said PPM's assets complemented Cheniere (AMEX: LNG).
"We view this venture as a stragetic relationship that will play off the strengths of both parties to our mutual benefit," he said.

Discussion in 'USA Men: News & Analysis' started by Mutiny RIP, Jun 24, 2010.
I dont know about Gooch or Buddle. Probably will be Findley which is stupid because we'd try to match a "fast" findley against a fast Ghana team. Edu needs to start
I'm still not sold on Bornstien, but he's quick and Gooch has been a step slow. Against Ghana that would be trouble.
This is a solid lineup with speed, two things we will need to have to beat Ghana
My Lineup
[LINEUP-4-4-2]Clint,Jozy,Landon,Edu,Bradley,Holden/Benny,Boca,DeMerit, Gooch, Dolo, Howard[/LINEUP-4-4-2]
I don't understand the lack of Holden in this tournament, but Bob had led us this far.
But this is what we will see
Bob's Lineup
[LINEUP-4-4-2]Jozy, Buddle/Findley, Landon, Bradley, Edu/Clark, Dempsey, Boca, DeMerit, Gooch, Dolo[/LINEUP-4-4-2]
Any chances we see some surprise starters on defense or at forward due to this being the 3rd game in 8 days for some of our players?
Here's my guess at the line-up
DeMerit was my odd man out here (trying to think of something different). He's played the whole tournament, and I have a feeling that Bob will want to put Onyewu back in the line-up. I know how Bob likes playing Bornstein as well, and with a solid game from him against Algeria I don't see Bocanegra going back to LB. There's also a small possibility of seeing Spector in as well, but Dolo has been solid.
Also there is a sizable chance we'll see Fielhaber in for Edu here, but will Bradley really go with 4 different starting CMs in 4 games?
Buddle for Jozy/Findley....maybe. I don't see Findley sitting though as long as he can play, sorry.
It's a little tough to judge because we don't know how Ghana will play. If they are compact like they were against Germany, having Buddle at forward could be a big help, giving us an extra target on crosses. It seems likely though that Ghana won't give us the same respect they gave Germany and will play more openly, which will leave spaces for Findley and Gomez to operate in.
Ghana is an opponent that cries out for a Bradley/Edu midfield.
They are fast and strong and we need to match them.
Their defense is better than ours but our keeper is better and our finishing is better.
I predict a 1-0 win for the US.
guys, think about the 5 best usa pk takers...
you want them out there IF it goes to them...
so, donovan, dempsey, jozy for sure...
for me, gomez and holden would be the other 2...
so with gomez there, it's either findley or buddle to start...
i can see findley troubling them a bit, causing cards or even PK...
major question is gooch OR bornstein...
gooch has 2006 and that suspicious pk...
but NO essien and a lot of u-20 kids on their roster...
some one's getting a RED or PK in this match...
who's the ref
Ghana plays as compact as any team I've seen thus far, both in terms of width and depth. Here's a quote from John Mensah in Wilson's game preview:
We know they'll play 4 in the back with Annan holding, similar to how I imagine the US will line-up with Edu. We know Gyan will play as a lone striker, with Ayew and Asamoah supporting from the second line of attack.
The middle of the field is going to be a congested mess, regardless of how we start. As such, I want Bradley-Edu in the middle. The key will be winning any second balls off of headers and intended passes, and I like our chances best with those two in the middle.
Up front, I want to see Altidore and Buddle start. Again, with a crowded middle AND a holding midfielder AND 4 in the back, I think space will be hard to come by - both Buddle and Altidore can hold up the ball back to goal and connect with the midfield. I also like Buddle as an asset on set pieces (I'm anticipating more fouls around the box than shots on goal.)
Given Bradley's comments from Wahl's twitter feed, I expect we'll see Onyewu return for this one, resulting in the following:
[LINEUP-4-4-2]Altidore, Buddle, Dempsey, Bradley, Edu, Donovan, Bocanegra, Onyewu, DeMerit, Cherundolo, Howard[/LINEUP-4-4-2]
I'm not going to post one because after BB's job against algeria, I don't think he needs my help anymore. I can finally just sit back and root for the team and not bother second guessing BB's decisions.
Haha. I'll second that.
While I am personally fine with this, I think Bob sticks with this tactical strategy which means Finley up top making diagonal runs to open up the middle for D & D to attack centrally.
The hard part here is deciding how much to unleash the outside backs. We need some width against Ghana but they counter quickly. I personally would put Boca on the left and have him stay home (except on set plays) and have Dolo give us width on the right side. Leaving these 3 in the back allows the two CM's to have a little more lee way to get forward.
If we need a goal, I sub Holden for Buddle/Finley, and push Dempsey up top.
No matter who we play I want to start with an Edu Bradley midfield pairing. The two of them can help us establish some defensive bite early on. If more offense is needed later, I would replace Edu with Holden or Feilhaber.
I think we all agree here, Its Bradley and Edu in the middle to start the game.
I recognize the intent, but did Findley really accomplished this at all against England or Slovenia? (Not arguing with you, just hashing out our potential options for Saturday)
I think for this match, having Buddle up top actually opens up the space for Donovan and Dempsey. Ghana - with a defense that hasn't opened for anybody - will at least be physically preoccupied with both Altidore and Buddle. Ideally, it draws Annan further back on the field to help the centerbacks, thus vacating the space for our attacking mids or a late Bradley run.
I don't have much to offer as far analysis, all I know is we owe Ghana a stomping from 2006. Honestly, if you had to pick, would you pick a win against Ghana in 2006 to advance out of the group or a win on Saturday? I'll take Saturday. Go get 'em, boys!
given this cab be 120 minutes...
whos' the better pk taker bewteen buddle and findley??
the weaker guy starts....
i'd trust gomez too as a pk taker, so how's jozy, gomez at 118 IF he's better than jozy...
donovan dempsey i trust...
also feilhaber and holden...
i see PKs here, although it might be a PK in regulation
I am not sold on Dempsey. Anyone else remember the Revs playoff game against DC United when he passed on taking a PK leaving it up to Heaps who shot weakly at the keeper ?
PS - I just looked it up. It was 2004. Clint had won rookie of the year that year so I will give him a "pass" on not taking a kick since it was his first year.
This makes sense, but also they both are very similar players, although that may not be bad. Instead of power/target player with power/target player, if you stay with the same starting XI as against Algeria you have the power/target player in Altidore with the movement/poacher in Gomez.
I thought Gomez had a very good first half against Algeria, Buddle was solid but made a couple poor decisions and was indecisive on the ball, Findley hasn't produced, and moving Dempsey or Donovan upfront takes away how deadly they have been breaking out of the midfield along with Bradley in transition.
If it's up to me I would have the exact same starting XI as against Algeria, I thought that team was very well balanced, strong defensively, athletic, dangerous on the break, skillful, and had great balance tactially all over.
I think the movement of Gomez will create a little extra space than Buddle basically replicating Altidore.
It is unlikely that there will be much change from the lineup that started against Algeria. Maybe Buddle or Findley at forward. With the possibility of overtime, I think Findley makes more sense as a sub coming on when the other team's defense is tiring. So Buddle would be my choice. Gomez had a couple good chances against Algeria and I wouldn't object to another start for him.
A Formation/Starting XI accounting for fatigue
I am really worried about expecting 90 minutes out of some of the guys who have played 3 games in 8 days. Because the U.S. relies so heavily on pressure, hustle, and fitness, the mileage on the American players is pretty heavy, heavier than the same scenario for most other teams. I fear that guys like Donovan, Dempsey, and Bradley will be too worn out to play at their accustomed level. But they are among the core of the team, so what's a coach to do? This is probably crazy, but I could see an argument for changing things around a fair amount to account for the likelihood of fatigue.
On the front line, Findley is coming back with fresh legs, so he starts for sure, and a coach worried about exhaustion might start Buddle over Altidore. Yeah, I know Altidore played great against Algeria, but he is not known for either his fitness or stringing together games at a consistently high level of play. He and Buddle have a lot of similarities, and a fresh Buddle would probably outplay an exhausted Altidore.
On the back line, the solution is pretty easy since center backs often suffer less from short rest than other field positions. A coach worried about exhaustion would retain DeMerit, bring back Gooch and slide Bocanegra out to the left, figuring that the captian's full game at CB didn't wear him out as much as Bornstein's 80 minutes at left back wore Bornstein out. That leaves the choice at right back between hoping Cherundolo has something left in the tank and replacing him with an out-of-form Spector. Were it up to me, I would start Cherundolo and hope for the best since Spector seems way off his feed lately.
There are two easy choices in midfield. Feilhaber played half a game on Wednesday and Edu played only 63 minutes, so they should be able to play fresh on Saturday, especially since they have been playing every game this tournament. Michael Bradley is a young man, and his bite is needed most at the beginning of the game to avoid falling behind early, so he is a logical starter. Then one would start Donovan or Dempsey and figure that the other guy will come on later. Benching Donovan risks cutting the heart out of his team, so he would be the one to start. If Donovan has the gas to play the whole game, great. If not, Dempsey spells him at halftime.
If one went this way, which Bob Bradley won't, the coach would be looking hard at Donovan, Bradley, and Cherundolo, quick to replace any of the three as soon as they looked gassed. It might mean foregoing tactical substitutions in favor of endurance substitutions.
Maybe this would be silly, benching stars like Dempsey and Altidorre, but it might be less risky than the chance that replaying the American starters will result in a loss due to fatigue.
I wouldn't be opposed to Gomez. I thought he had a good first half as well. My concern is if he'll find the same space against Ghana that he did against the 3-man backline of Algeria.
For better or worse, Altidore tends to drift in to wide spaces as well. I think Buddle will help anchor down the middle of the field.
PK takers in this order
1) Dempsey
2) Holden (or Feilhaber.. whoever is on the field)
3) Bradley
4) Donovan
5) Cherundolo
How big a factor is the formation to the total package? In the end, after playing some and coaching for 9 years, it is my view that it is just a a base from which to assign general player responsibilities. Once the game starts all the same concepts and principles of attack and defending are applied - regardless of starting formation. Whoever does the better job of applying those concepts and principles with the better technical ability controls the game.
BTW, Findley could be a great second half sub. Ghana will likely start playing very compact leaving very little open space for Findley to run through. In a compact defense, guys with muscle and good touch are more important than speed. You need the strength to keep the defender off the ball, and the touch to be able to the ball close to your body and away from defenders particularly when you receive it from a firm pass. For this situation, Jozy and Buddle are out best choices. However, if the game heads into overtime, even Ghana will open up a bit. That is the time to put Findley in.

I Can Has Art Show?
Hurford Humanities Center Associate Director James Weissinger '06 co-curated "Kat Culchur," an exhibition exploring the unique relationship between humans and felines. Organized by the Philadelphia artists of FLUXspace, the show debuted in London's Tate Modern art gallery this spring and is now on view through August 15 in Philadelphia.
You might not expect to see "Lolcats"—the popular computer-generated images of furry felines with grammatically incorrect captions—at London's Tate Modern art gallery.
Yet these and other cat-related miscellany were displayed in the Tate's Turbine Hall this May as part of "Kat Culchur," an exhibition co-curated by Associate Director of the Hurford Humanities Center James Weissinger '06 and organized by Philadelphia art organization FLUXspace. Weissinger and FLUXspace were participants in the Tate's "No Soul for Sale—A Festival of Independents," which brought together 70 independent art spaces and artists' collectives from around the world. Delaware Valley residents can see "Kat Culchur" for themselves as it runs through August 15 at FLUXspace's Philadelphia headquarters.
Weissinger had previously worked with FLUXspace on a project about Historic Yellow Springs in Chester County, Pa. For this show, he and seven fellow artists shared their own concepts of worldwide "cat culture," particularly humans' fascination with cats. Weissinger considered questions of domesticity. "We are the only animals who take other animals into their houses and live with them," he says. "Why do we do this? Why do we name animals, and pamper and infantilize them?"
The FLUXspace artists used these questions and other ideas to design a faux-anthropological exhibition. "Using the admittedly insane frame of a post-apocalyptic future where cats don't exist, we created a futuristic museum looking back at cats, to get at how humans and cats live with each other right now," says Weissinger.
Besides the Lolcat images, "artifacts" in the "Kat Culchur" show included primary texts, such as an 1860s New York Times piece about London cat shows, recent research about the psychology of a cat person, and even made-up articles from the near-future, including an obituary for the last domesticated cat on Earth and a New Yorker "Shouts and Murmurs" piece written by Weissinger. The exhibit's centerpiece was a miniature moon bounce for cats, an artifact "misinterpreted by the future," built by Philadelphia artist Leslie Rogers.
During the weekend of the "No Soul for Sale" festival, 93,000 people from across the globe came to the Tate. Weissinger and the other FLUXspace artists acted as docents for curious "Kat Culchur" visitors.
For Weissinger, the most exciting aspect of the experience was being in the Tate from 10 a.m. to midnight and interacting with so many international visitors and artists. "It was like a temporary town that had popped up," he says. "It was a bazaar, a fair, and a networking space all rolled into one."

Thanks to all for the nice thoughts on my new avatar, and for the comments on the sketches, No I don't think I will add any paint to them they are just sketches. I'm not happy with one of the skates so I plan to work on it and yes they need to be grounded with a little shading. Thanks again.
All C & C's always welcome
Claudia, you handled stripes beautifully before and now checks! Nice job. Like how you made the crowd recede with the diff. coloring and also made the main char. stand out this way. Have a nice trip this wkend.!

In keeping with the theme, I thought of this watercolour I did some time ago, when I fist started painting. My granddaughter in my flower garden, each dear to my heart. This is the spring with short iris, chives and larger alium, in front is creeping phlox. For anyone interested the chives are a fav of bees, and the larger alium a fav of butterflies. Kayla looks a little older than she was and although her arms are long, not quite that long. I gave it to her for her birthday so don't not sure of the size, app 8x10 on arches w/c paper.
Shameer, very nice work.
Bonnie, this is very nice, Iespecially like the little girl.
Charlie Gunn
C&C welcomed
http://www.facebook.com/CharlieGunnArtist My Art Work
Bonnie your painting of your granddaughter and the flower garden is beautiful. If you had not mentioned the arm I would not have noticed it being a little long. I wished I would have something like that from my grandparents. She will treasure it especially when she is older. There are a lot of darks and highlights that makes it more interesting.
Very well done.

W.Va. lawmakers propose 'home rule' renewal
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Some West Virginia lawmakers want to experiment further with granting increased governing powers to cities and towns.
A bill discussed Monday by a House-Senate study subcommittee would add four more municipalities with at least 2,000 people to the state's home rule pilot project.
The pilot has been deemed a success for Charleston, Huntington, Wheeling and Bridgeport. Their mayors have raved about improved services and reduced costs for residents and businesses.
The draft bill would forbid any municipal changes related to annexation, pensions or crimes. Any tax changes would require the approval of at least 55 percent of residents.
