5 U.S. Code § 5347 - Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee
(a) There is established a Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee composed of—
(1) the Chairman, who shall not hold any other office or position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia, and who shall be appointed by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management for a 4-year term;
(3) two members from the military departments, designated by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management;

(5) an employee of the Office of Personnel Management, designated by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management; and
(b) In designating members from among employee organizations under subsection (a)(6) of this section, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall designate, as nearly as practicable, a number of members from a particular employee organization in the same proportion to the total number of employee representatives appointed to the Committee under subsection (a)(6) of this section as the number of prevailing rate employees represented by such organization is to the total number of prevailing rate employees. However, there shall not be more than two members from any one employee organization nor more than four members from a single council, federation, alliance, association, or affiliation of employee organizations.
(c) Every 2 years the Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall review employee organization representation to determine adequate or proportional representation under the guidelines of subsection (b) of this section.

Conclusions and recommendations of the Committee shall be formulated by majority vote. The Chairman of the Committee may vote only to break a tie vote of the Committee.
(f) The Committee shall meet at the call of the Chairman. However, a special meeting shall be called by the Chairman if 5 members make a written request to the Chairman to call a special meeting to consider matters within the purview of the Committee.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), members of the Committee described in paragraphs (2)–(5) of subsection (a) of this section serve without additional pay. Members who represent employee organizations are not entitled to pay from the Government of the United States for services rendered to the Committee.

The return of warmer temperatures offers the opportunity for relaxation and exploration outdoors. Whether you're relaxing in the backyard, turning up your garden, enjoying the pool or taking part in another outdoor activity, you'll want to be sure and keep your distance from disease-causing pests. Here are some ways you and your family can remain healthy while outdoors this spring and summer.
Prevent Mosquito and Tick Bites
Warmer temperatures aren't just attractive to people, but to mosquitoes and ticks as well. Small as they are, these tiny creatures can cause severe illness, and in some cases, even death. There are several simple and effective ways to avoid their bite without missing out on your favorite outdoor activities.
One of the most recommended ways to avoid mosquitoes is to avoid going outdoors when they are most likely to bite - from dusk to dawn. Unfortunately, in Western North Carolina, we have some mosquitoes, such as the tree-hole mosquito, that tend to be out and bite all day.
To enjoy your outdoor activities at any time, repel mosquitoes by regularly using a mosquito and tick repellent that contains DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
Ticks are out all the time. Young ticks are so small that they can be difficult to see, but both young and adult ticks look to animals and sometimes people to bite.
Keep ticks at a distance by avoiding tick-infested areas, especially places with leaf-litter, brush, and high grasses.
Keep Mosquitoes and Ticks out of Your Yard
Look around your yard and neighborhood and remove any items that may collect standing water, such as buckets, old tires, toys and flowerpots.
Beware of Bats
Bats are fun to watch as they flutter around at dusk. In many camp areas, the sighting of bats is common and normal; however, bats can be infected with rabies and may pose a risk for exposure to humans.
What To Do If You Find a Bat
If you find a bat in your residence, do not release it. Leave the room, closing the bat inside if possible, and call animal control or law enforcement for your area.
Don't forget to protect your pets!
While you're outside enjoying the weather, remember to protect your pets too. Keeping healthy pets will help keep you and your family healthy.
Dogs, cats and ferrets need to be kept up-to-date on their rabies vaccines. In Buncombe County you can get low-cost rabies vaccines for your furry friends at clinics sponsored by Buncombe County and the Asheville Humane Society. Click here to learn more.
Protect family pets from ticks and fleas by keeping them on a flea and tick control program. Talk to your veterinarian for advice on the appropriate anti-bug products to use on your pet.
You don't have to let the threat of illness from mosquitoes, ticks or bats dampen your outdoor fun in warm weather. Take these simple precautions, get on outside and enjoy! Have a safe and healthy spring and summer!
For More Information
If you have questions or concerns about diseases that may be transmitted through bites, contact your healthcare provider or the Buncombe County Communicable Disease Program at 250-5109.
For questions about eliminating ticks or mosquitoes from your yard, you may call Buncombe County Environmental Health at 250-5016.

Hertz 24/7® offers PlatePass® for toll roads!
It's an electronic means for paying road tolls. If you choose to use it, you'll avoid delays at toll lanes and be on your way faster. If you use PlatePass®, the credit card that you used for your rental will automatically be charged for tolls incurred at the Toll Authority's cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate, and applicable service fee, and you'll be able to bypass long cash lanes. PlatePass®, a division of American Traffic Solutions, administers this service for Hertz.
PlatePass® is currently available on multiple toll roads in multiple states across the U.S. The PlatePass® service may be used on toll roads administered by the following toll road services: EZ Pass in DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, VA, WV; I-PASS in IL, IN; EZ Tag/TX Tag in TX; Sun Pass/E Pass in FL; EXpress Toll in CO; FasTrak on the Greater San Francisco Bay Area Bridges; and Good to Go! on the SR 520 Bridge and Tacoma Narrows Bridge ONLY.
Depending on where you go, the systems work slightly different.
For E-Z Pass & I Pass toll roads, PlatePass® is used with a toll transponder located within a shield box that is affixed to the windshield below the rearview mirror. To use PlatePass®, simply pull out the transponder from the shield box, so that the toll agency can electronically read the pass. If you don't want to use PlatePass®, please make sure the transponder remains fully within the shield box and pay all tolls with cash or your own toll transponder compatible to the toll road.
For all other toll systems on which PlatePass® may be used, the toll road system will automatically read the vehicle's license plate if the vehicle passes through a toll lane without paying the toll with either cash or a compatible toll transponder. There is no device inside the car that needs to be used. If you don't want to use PlatePass®, you must pay all tolls with cash (if cash option is available) or with your own toll transponder compatible to the toll road.
For more questions, please visit www.PlatePass.com.
If you use PlatePass®, you will be charged a $4.95 service fee for each day of the rental including any days on which PlatePass® is not used, up to a maximum of $24.75 per rental month, plus incurred tolls at the Toll Authority's cash toll rate or highest undiscounted toll rate. PlatePass LLC will automatically charge the credit card used for the rental, typically one-to-three weeks after the rental closes. Processing of charges can at times take up to a month or more. Cash customers will be invoiced by PlatePass LLC. PlatePass® charges will not appear on your invoice for your rental. PlatePass® charges can be viewed at www.PlatePass.com.

Plan B
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 10/27/08, 06:49am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
The Clippers still have no idea who they'll put on the floor to open the season Wednesday night. From Lisa Dillman at the LAT:
Just saying.
...for Clippers Coach Mike Dunleavy, it's down to two options and all about one $65-million point guard.
"We've pretty much got Plan A and Plan B, right?" Dunleavy said. "Baron plays or doesn't play."
That remains the burning question hanging over the Clippers, and Baron Davis' status wasn't made much clearer after Sunday's practice. Davis, who continues to wear a splint on his sprained left ring finger, and Tim Thomas (strained groin) participated in some aspects of training but were kept out of anything involving contact.
There are other concerns. Marcus Camby (bruised right heel) is behind Davis and Thomas in terms of progress and didn't play a minute in the preseason. His appearance in any of the games this week would be a genuine surprise.
This was the grand fear, wasn't it? That the Clippers' roster -- ripe with talent -- would fall victim to a combination of nagging injuries, grievances, and uncertainty. For a team that, for all practical purposes, is still wearing name tags around the training facility, it might be helpful to complete a single full-contact practice in unison before the season starts.
Just saying.

Amid a pre-holiday frenzy of press functions and device releases, there's yet another event slated for the season. This week, HTC and Verizon began sending out invitations for a joint event in New York City November 13.
And while many other events have had a healthy enough rumor mill to prematurely supply answers to the inevitable questions, the HTC/Verizon to-do doesn't.
The main speculation surrounds a possible unveiling of the new HTC-made Droid DNA handset. The Verizon-bound smartphone's existence has already leaked in pricing lists, and the assumption is that the two companies will be using their November 13 event to launch the device.
But that in itself has only raised more questions. The event invite hints at "our latest collaboration." Does that phrase refer to the Android-powered Droid DNA? if so, will the HTC smartphone be a Verizon exclusive?
Or, as Engadget has speculated:
"What if this is just a coming-out party for HTC's 8X Windows Phone flagship? It's not a far-fetched idea: we already know it's coming to Verizon, but the exact pricing and on-sale date have yet to be revealed. Then again, the 8X has already been shown off at a press event or two, and we're not sure a Verizon-branded variant would merit such a high-profile news conference."
Still, with just a sparsely-worded invitation to go on, there's not much we can say for certain at the moment. It looks as though we'll have to just sit tight and wait for all to be revealed next week.
That is, unless we catch a break and the whole thing leaks. One can always dream...

You're Going to Need to Hire an EditorMarch 10th, 2014 . by Peggy
(This is an excerpt from my book "Your Book Title Here", available on the Kindle platform at Amazon.com, $2.99 USD.)
The editor is the one bit of outsourcing that I must recommend no matter how good a writer you are. With editors, you are paying for something that cannot be achieved any other way: objectivity.
Editors come from many paths. Some of them are language specialists, but many come from other, far more interesting sources. Some of them are industry experts, and some of them are teachers or business people. In my experience, the degrees on the wall matter very little to the quality of the service and work you will get. Instead, focus on their communication style. Do they seem to understand what you're trying to achieve? When they read your work, do they make intelligent criticisms, and explain the reasons for them clearly? If so, great. You've got the foundation for a wonderful working relationship. Don't just look for someone that agrees with you on everything. Not only is that not objective, but it means that they're not telling you the whole truth of what they observe in the work.
Criticism is a big part of the editing process, and I'm here to tell you right now, get over any personal feelings you might have about the process. You have bigger stuff to care about, like creating a high-quality product. You need to focus on the big picture, not your personal feelings. Think early on in the process about your budget to hire an editor, and it will be easier to make happen.
Ouch! Peggy is really mean! Yes, I am. I've been on both sides of the editing fence. And now, I truthfully enjoy being the writer receiving help from the editor, because I can really see the improvement it makes in my final product: I'm actually becoming a better writer because of good editing. The thrill of working with someone who also believes in your book is so satisfying. You'll know they believe in making it successful if they offer plenty of constructive criticism. This will happen for you too. I'm not saying it will be easy, but you will be better, and the praise you'll receive as a quality writer will hopefully make up for any hurt feelings.
What does an editor cost? OK, prepare to be angry at me again: I can't tell you that. The fact of it is, it fluctuates wildly. As I said, editors come from different backgrounds, and they all charge differently. Some charge by the word, and some by the hour. Some will only do certain types of editing, and the charges for different types of editing are also different. Some types of editors, like style and content editors, will only offer big-picture advice, rather than picking through your manuscript line-by-line.
At the very least, a copy-editing pass should be done before you finalize your work. This means just checking for things like spelling and punctuation mistakes, along with things like proper sentence structure and grammar. An abundance of copy errors will ruin the credibility of the entire work. However, I find that someone who can point out things like "You drag on a bit here," or, "I would leave out that entire paragraph," or, "You need to explain this further," are extremely helpful, and that stuff is what really makes me improve. Simple copy-editing is also often better performed by a different editor than the one who does any style editing on your work. A fresh pair of eyes will catch stuff you wouldn't believe.
Despite all editing you may have done, don't freak out when the inevitable happens: your manuscript will still have errors. And I don't just mean one, as there will probably be a bunch. Of course, you will only see them after the book has been sent to a major newspaper for review, or when your mentor is reading it. Relax. All authors cringe at this thought. It happens. Move on.

Establishing students' LLN needsa. Prior to the course
As part of the pre-course information sent to students and clients, students are encouraged to advise of any learning support needs they may have, including in the area of LLN. Where the organisation is aware that a student has specific LLN needs, they will endeavour to:
- Discuss those needs with the student or a client representative prior to the course to establish whether the student should be attending the course, and if so, how they can best be supported, AND
- Advise the facilitator about the needs of the student
At the start of a course, facilitators should:
- Ask students to indicate privately if they feel they need extra support. Encourage students to be forthcoming early in the course so that the facilitator can record the issues and make reasonable adjustments in a timely manner. If anyone does express a need, ask them what type of support they may find useful, AND
- Undertake some form of LLN diagnostic assessment to identify the students who may need additional support. This form of assessment is usually informal and can be incorporated as part of an initial icebreaker / warm-up activity. For example, on a Safety & Health Representatives course, participants could be asked to complete a form that asks for details about their safety knowledge, experience with the health and safety legislative framework, etc. They can then be given the opportunity to exchange information with each other. In the first instance the trainer will have some evidence about their reading and writing, and in the spoken exchange the trainer has the opportunity to observe and evaluate their speaking and listening skills.
- students can interview each other and then write a note to the trainer about their partner
- they can write a description of their workplace, share it with a partner, then the partner can report back to a larger group, or the whole class
- facilitators can provide a newspaper article about a relevant topic which students read and answer some questions about, and then write a response – including, possibly, some numeracy elements
The facilitator should inform a Training Advisor if any student's LLN levels are substantially below the pre-requisite level and together formulate a strategy for managing the students' progress. In some cases, it may be determined that the students' low LLN levels will not be sufficient for them to complete the course in the set time.
As the course proceeds, trainers can continually assess and gauge their students' LLN proficiency, progress and respond to their needs. There are many opportunities to diagnose and review the students' LLN levels. This should present a clearer picture of the strengths and areas of LLN that may require further development, practice and feedback. If students are struggling, the option to discuss their case with a Training Advisor remains.

Real Salt Lake Captain Kyle Beckerman could be in line for a start for the U.S. national team in its World Cup Qualifier against Mexico on Tuesday night.
With center midfielders Michael Bradley (injury) and Geoff Cameron (yellow card suspension) out for Tuesday's qualifier in Columbus, Beckerman – who dressed but did not play in the U.S.'s 3-1 loss at Costa Rica on Friday – could very well get slotted into the middle of the park for Jurgen Klinsmann's side.
Beckerman has had some success against Mexico, turning in a gem of a performance in the U.S.'s 1-0 win at El Tri on Aug. 15, 2012 – the first and only time the Americans have beaten Mexico south of the border.
Other candidates to start alongside likely lock Jermaine Jones in the central midfield for the Stars-and-Stripes include Mix Diskerud and late call-ins Jose Torres and Joe Corona.
Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando is also on the U.S. roster for Tuesday's match, which will kick off at 6:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on ESPN. The U.S. can clinch a spot in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil with a win over Mexico and a Panama loss/draw at Honduras.

Looks like that whole quality over big market idea has some merit.
Here's a tweet from Sports Business Journal's Media Reporter John Ourand regarding ratings for Friday's RSL-Portland match and Saturday's New York-D.C. game, both of which were televised on the NBC Sports Network.
MLS on TV: NBCSN's Portland-Real Salt Lake drew 171K on Friday night. NBCSN's DC United-Red Bulls averaged 67K on Saturday night.
— John Ourand (@Ourand_SBJ) September 4, 2013
Of the 19 teams in MLS, Salt Lake is the 19th biggest media market; Portland is 16th; D.C. is ninth; New York is first.
'Nuff said.
I've got some bad news for you, Real Salt Lake fans: Your team doesn't play a Wednesday night fixture tonight. Nor do they play this weekend, or next Wednesday. No, RSL doesn't take the pitch again until next Friday, 10 long days away. For whatever reason, MLS decided to give the Claret-and-Cobalt a break for the upcoming international dates while the rest of MLS plays on. Now I don't like the lack of RSL games either, but as we shall see later, if you're going to have a weeklong break, this is the time for it.
So what's a Real fan to do with no game to watch for the next week? Well, there are plenty of great World Cup qualifiers going on around the world, including those featuring RSL men Abdoulie Mansally (The Gambia), Alvaro Saborio (Costa Rica), Nick Rimando (USA), and Kyle Beckerman (USA). Thanks to this break in the schedule, none of these players are going to miss any club matches due to international duty. But there are plenty of MLS clubs that do have games, and many of these games will affect the Supporter's Shield and playoff races that RSL is right in the thick of. So I would suggest that there are still matches worth watching and/or following, and I've got your guide to the ones that most impact RSL below:
Chivas USA at Seattle Sounders (Wednesday 9/4, 8:00 MT, MLS Live)
The Sounders are eight points behind RSL, but thanks to scheduling quirks they have played four fewer games than Salt Lake. That means they have 12 points worth of games in hand, which means any points they drop as they play those extra games would be very helpful to Real's Supporters' Shield chances. That starts tonight as Chivas USA visits. You may be tempted to think this is a guaranteed three points for the Sounders, but not so fast: They are missing both starting strikers (Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson) to international duty, and midfield stalwart Brad Evans is injured. On top of that, the Goats are playing some decent soccer at the moment, and their striker Erick Torres is one of the hottest players in the league right now. They could snatch a point against a depleted Sounders side.
Chicago Fire at Seattle Sounders (Saturday 9/7, 8:00 MT, NBC Sports Network)
Here we have another Seattle game that may be tougher than you might think. Those internationals will still be away for Seattle while the Fire are unaffected. Mike Magee has scored goals aplenty for Chicago, and Seattle will be playing on three days' rest. Tune in to see if all those factors conspire to work against the Sounders.
Colorado Rapids at LA Galaxy (Saturday 9/7, 8:30 MT, MLS Live)
The Galaxy are the hottest team in MLS along with RSL, and currently RSL's greatest Supporters' Shield threat. It would help Real greatly if somebody could slow them down a bit and Colorado has first crack at it. Like Seattle, LA is missing some key pieces due to international duty; Robbie Keane, Omar Gonzalez, and Landon Donovan will all miss this one. When Donovan missed games earlier in the year, the rest of the Galaxy struggled to score goals and win games. And with Colorado fighting for their playoff lives in the midst of a brutal schedule, the outcome here is definitely not a given.
New York Red Bulls at Houston Dynamo (Sunday 9/8, 3:00 MT, UniMas)
New York sits in second place in the Eastern Conference, but their chances of overtaking Montreal took a hit this week as they learned that midfield wizard Tim Cahill will miss several weeks due to injury. This week they take on the Jekyll-and-Hyde Dynamo, who seem to alternate between jaw-dropping and cringe-worthy soccer each week. Regardless, it's never easy to play in Houston, and it would help RSL if the Dynamo could send New York home with nothing.
Montreal Impact at New England Revolution (Sunday 9/8, 5:30 MT, MLS Live)
Montreal is currently RSL's greatest threat in the East, but they recently got some bad injury news of their own. New Designated Player Hernan Bernardello is out for multiple weeks with an ankle injury which will make it harder for Marco Di Vaio and company to score. In this fixture they travel to take on the upstart Revs who are clinging to the final playoff spot in the East. New England knows three points at home are a must, so look for them to try to keep the Impact on the back foot all night.
So there you have it - even with no Real Salt Lake, there's plenty going on that will be of interest to RSL fans. The Supporters' Shield race is still murky but it will get much clearer over the next week, so tune in and see how it all unfolds.
We're a little bit notorious around the league for railing about RSL's lack of national TV games.
One of our favorite topics, the Claret-and-Cobalt's dearth of nationally broadcast matches – the team has just three this regular season – was brought to the forefront again last week when Portland came to town for RSL's only home national TV game of 2013.
Players and coaches were asked about the lack of national exposure for RSL in the build up to Friday's game, with defender Nat Borchers giving the money quote, calling it a "joke" that the Claret-and-Cobalt isn't on national TV more.
Of course, RSL put on quite the show for the NBC Sports Network on Friday, slamming the Timbers 4-2 in front of a raucous, sold-out crowd of 20,252 at Rio Tinto Stadium. It was a great spectacle for the league – and a great advertisement to put RSL on the national airwaves more often.
Unsurprisingly, observers around the country picked up on the high quality on the field and in the stands from Friday's match, with some now calling for RSL to be put on national TV more.
Best Soccer Show host Jared DuBois – give him a follow @jrodius – had plenty to say on the subject on Tuesday's edition of ESPN 700's OnFrame, going on for about four minutes when asked about the subject. Part of his quote is below – click here to listen to Jared's entire interview.
"I think when we talk about viewership and tuning in and ratings and everything like that, we need to get out of just the numbers aspect and start looking at the quality aspect," he said. "What do you actually gain when you have a Chicago vs. Colorado match on national TV? Not much. I'm sorry, but not much. I'd much rather see the quality teams than the big market teams. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm naïve, I don't work in that industry, but from a peripheral view this is a fan telling you I don't even tune in if it's not a quality product on the field. You guys have that at RSL, and you guys have every reason to be aggrieved by [the lack of national TV games]. I'll be honest with you, watching that Portland game last week, RSL-Portland, I'm watching that game and RSL has a chip on their shoulder. They've got something to prove, not just to the other teams in the league, but to the league itself. They said, 'Listen, put us on.' That result I saw was Eddie Johnson saying pay me. It's RSL's team saying 'Pay me, put us on TV and this is what you get.'"
We couldn't have said it any better ourselves. Time to pay up.
RSL will be on national TV once more this regular season, taking on the Seattle Sounders on NBC Sports Network at CenturyLink Field on Sept. 13.
RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis made a very interesting comment toward the end of his press conference following the team's 4-2 home win over the Portland Timbers on Friday.
Asked by RSL Perspective's Denzel Eslinger what he credited the team's seemingly changed, more easy going attitude to, Kreis said that he thought this edition of the Claret-and-Cobalt is "tighter than any team I've ever been a part of, any I've ever been a part of, playing or coaching. They're fantastically together."
Check out the 5:50 mark of the above video to see Kreis's full response.
Real Salt Lake again proved their offensive prowess on Friday, getting four goals to down the Portland Timbers 4-2 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Here are a few interesting numbers from Friday's match:
Friday's 4-2 win and the team's 4-0 win over Columbus on Aug. 24 mark the first time in RSL history that the team has scored four or more goals in consecutive regular season matches. The Claret-and-Cobalt has now scored a total of 11 goals in its last three matches, with seven of those goals coming against a usually-stingy Portland side.
Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio scored his tenth goal during MLS play on Friday – only his thirteenth appearance of the season. Saborio's 0.83 goals per 90 minutes is tops in MLS among players with more than eight games played.
The Real Salt Lake fan base flexed its muscles once more on Friday, with the capacity crowd of 20,252 marking the fifth sellout at Rio Tinto Stadium this year.
By scoring on Friday, RSL midfielder Luis Gil became the sixth Claret-and-Cobalt player to reach the five goal plateau this year. Gil joins Saborio, midfielder Javier Morales, midfielder Ned Grabavoy, forward Robbie Findley and forward Olmes Garcia as the six RSL players who have found the back of the net five or more times during MLS play. RSL only had two players hit the five goal mark in 2012.
Friday's win marked the club's 14th victory of the season, most in the league. Real Salt Lake is now one win away from reaching the 15-win, 50-point plateau for a fourth-consecutive year, something that's never been done in league history. The Utah side is in good position to also set a new franchise record for wins in a season – the record is seventeen, held by the 2012 team.
With his bicycle kick goal past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts on Friday, Morales tied his career-high with seven goals on the season. Morales' seven goals are good for second on the team – he leads RSL with ten assists in MLS play.
Real Salt Lake's four goals in Friday's match increased its league-leading goal total to 52 goals during the 2013 season. The L.A. Galaxy are a distant second, having scored 43 goals on the season.
Real Salt Lake forward Joao Plata notched two assists on Friday, giving him a total of eight assists in MLS play, good for fifth in the league. The 21-year-old Ecuadorian finds himself on the assist leaderboard despite only starting in 16 of the club's 28 games.
It seems like only yesterday that we faced Portland Timbers, and indeed, it sort of was. Or last week, but that's somewhat like yesterday.
Timbers have assumed relatively the same approach match-by-match, and that they do is a testament to Caleb Porter's belief in tactical consistency. By and large, that's a belief shared by Jason Kreis, who has been one of the most consistent coaches in MLS in recent memory. But Jason Kreis has this season showed a newfound tactical flexibility without sacrificing that belief, and he's changed the shape with relative frequency. The beauty, though, is that no matter how he's changed the shape, the approach and philosophy has remained the same.
With that in mind, Jason Kreis could deploy his side with a different shape to make more difficult the jobs of Porter and crew.
4-2-1-3: Rimando; Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy; Morales; Plata, Saborio, Findley
Good: In this shape, we'd see Plata and Findley tasked with keeping busy Portland's fullbacks, Harrington and Powell, on the left and the right, respectively. Those two generally are important players, as Porter is well aware of the same thing as Kreis: To succeed in an attacking system with no focus on long ball antics, getting one or even both full backs involved in the attack is essential. By pushing back on those two, a big part of the Portland attack is mitigated.
Bad: We lose something in midfield pressure, leaving Grabavoy and Beckerman to carry more of the pressing weight than they otherwise would. If Portland plays a packed midfield, there's a risk this could get overrun.
4-3-2-1: Rimando, Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy, Grossman; Gil, Morales; Saborio
Good: Here, we have introduced an additional midfielder to the mix. I've pointed to Cole Grossman as the option, because we have here three midfielders involved in defending. This would mitigate any risk of the midfield being overrun. Gil and Morales would both play in a wider arrangement, and perhaps Grabavoy would step further forward to fill in the gaps. Saborio is left as the sole striker, largely to play the midfield into the attack, which would be essential.
Bad: We lose a wide man in attack, which has been important for us. When we have a striker on the wing, we introduce a more dynamic attacking option that forces the defense to rethink their plans. Against an attacking Portland Timbers side, there should be space there — it would be good for us to take advantage of that.
4-4-2: Rimando, Beltran, Borchers, Salcedo, Wingert; Beckerman, Grabavoy, Gil, Morales; Plata, Findley
Good: Rather than taking the hold-up approach with Saborio, which brings us plenty of joy, we could give him a rest and allow him an opportunity off the bench, leaving Plata and Findley as the starting strikers. Those two would be tasked with both going wide, leaving the center for the midfield to run into — perhaps they'd start in a central position and move wide. It's difficult to say. This would give us plenty of attacking width and would surely be strong in transition.
Bad: Well, we'd lack a player to hold up the ball, which we've done before. If, as I picture it, we push Plata and Findley into wide positions, we'd be found sorely lacking in the middle, too, I'm afraid. In essence, it could end up looking like a poor parody of a strikerless system.

The Orchestra of Northern New York, now in its 24th season, was founded by Mr. Andrews. The Orchestras mission is to improve the quality of life in the north country through live performances of orchestral music performed by superb musicians in professional settings. It is the only professional symphony from Burlington to Syracuse to Ottawa to Montreal.
The Orchestra continues to sustain its exceptional quality and at the same time keeps tickets affordable to make its performances as accessible as possible. It is funded in part by The New York State Council On The Arts with additional support provided by The Northern New York Community Foundation.

A massive shake table test in Japan could lead to safer wood-frame buildings in earthquake zones.
In the end, it swayed but didn't fall. Perched atop the largest shake table in the world and subjected to a massive simulated earthquake, this six-story, wood-frame condominium stood tall, and the success of the test may lead to safer, taller wood-frame building construction in earthquake zones.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) --D.C. Fire Chief Ken Ellerbe made news Monday when he disclosed plans to shuffle its resources, meaning fewer ambulances will be in service overnight.The issue isn't just on land but on the water as well. The DC Fire Department's boat rescue fleet isn't what it used to be.
The John Glenn, the D.C. Fire Department's main boat for large scale emergencies, is in desperate need of repairs. The 50-year-old rescue boat is still used to patrol. Given all of the potential threats to homeland security, there are questions about how effective this boat could be. That's because it's out there on the water, but the boats communications system is broken. The radio can't transmit a distress call and the documentation has expired.
So the question now is whether to apply for grants to repair the boat, estimated to be around $700,000. The other option is lobby Capitol Hill for money to buy a new state of the art boat.
As we mentioned earlier, there is also discussion about cutting down the number of medics working overnight that would be during this time of day.There are a lot of questions about this move: Will there is longer wait times? Will you have access to the same critical equipment if this move goes through?
Medic units have paramedics in them. Paramedics have a higher level of training than EMT's. Fire Chief Kenneth Ellerbe wants to move 14 advanced life support ambulances from the overnight hours and have that personnel work during the day.
Now when we say overnight hours we are talking about 1 a.m. until 7a.m. The rationale behind this is that there are twice as many calls an hour during the day as opposed to overnight. But the Chief says residents shouldn't be worried about it having an impact on safety.
"You will have access to top-of-the-line equipment and there is no anticipation that there will be extended wait times. We expect it to be the same. We know we have about 10 calls per hour at that time," said Ellerbe.

New Styles of Courage
All our connections are deeply interrelated (from a close up of a large scale woodcut by Paul Edmonds)
Sometimes I am overwhelmed with admiration for those who have faced danger and summoned the courage to step forward and act. It is easy to see them as different from the rest of us. But some recent experiences have shifted my focus to what we have in common with that class of courageous heroes. No matter where we work, there are opportunities to connect the dots, to create our own style of courage.
Good examples help reveal what this might look like. The Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship is the capstone event for an ecosystem built from the Ebay success of Jeff Skoll. It is a good place to hang out with courage counterparts. In addition to this global community of social entrepreneurs, there were about 20 corporate representatives in attendance this year. But what a boon it would have been if there had been over a hundred.
The Oxford Jam, a fringe conference happening alongside Skoll, offers more opportunities to connect. I met a former hedge fund executive there who is investing her own assets to address the obesity epidemic. Her courage will rally others to innovate while she is also able to turn a profit.
Both Skoll and Oxford Jam offer a panoply of ways for companies to connect with social enterprises. Corporate leaders who make the decision to get to Skoll next year a priority will find a uniquely rich set of courage leaders with which to interact.
Another opportunity for exploring new styles of courage is Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development. This Grand Challenge (issued by USAID, the Gates Foundation, Grand Challenges Canada, the Government of Norway and the World Bank) will fund efforts to combine technology, service delivery and/or demand innovations that can directly improve the lives of mothers and their newborns. Up to $15 million will be awarded in the next 6 months. This will include 25 awards of $250,000 that will test new innovations.
The collaborative conversations around Saving Lives at Birth has resulted in a broad range of proposals that reflect how multifaceted this sector is. One of the teams I am working with is led by the Royal College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (RCOG) and also includes an Ashoka fellow and Movirtu, an ingenious company that enables low-end cell phones to be shared while still maintaining individual identity and custom information (funding will develop simple applications such as calculating gestation month and providing tailored advice).
The proposal from SMILE (Saving Mothers and Infant Lives with Education) leverages relationships with governments, health systems and community health workers (CHW) that RCOG has been building for over a decade in Africa. Combining these relationships with Movirtu's technology will enable low-resource environments to become high-touch environments where lives are saved through tailored advice and learning. When scaled, this program expects 30% or greater improvements in outcomes.
Forward-thinking companies who have women as primary customers can participate in these outcomes by finding programs that feature innovations where their expertise could add value.
The Skoll World Forum and Saving Lives at Birth are just two examples where courageous investors—of both time and money—are visible and can play a part in the innovation networks of a corporation. The learning and innovation that flow from these connections can be transformative, and begins with a simple sense of how you and your organization can find new styles of courage in your own innovation spheres.

21 Grams
College professor Paul Rivers and his wife Mary find their union precariously balanced between life and death. He is mortally ill and awaiting a heart transplant, while she hopes to become pregnant with his child through artificial insemination. Cristina Peck, having matured since her reckless past, is a beloved older sister to Claudia, a good wife to Michael and loving mother to two little girls. Her family radiates hope and joy. Much farther down the socioeconomic scale, ex-con Jack Jordan and his wife Marianne struggle to provide for their two children while Jack reaffirms his commitment to religion. A tragic accident that claims several lives places these couples in each other's orbit. In the aftermath, Paul confronts his own mortality, Cristina takes action to come to terms with her present and perhaps her future, and Jack's faith is put to the test. If spiritual equilibrium is to be regained by any one of them, it could come at great cost to the others. Yet the will to live, and the instinct to reach out to another person for support, remains ever present among them all.

(Jan 16, 2013) On December 24, 2012, Indonesia's President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono signed the Tobacco Control Regulation. Within the next 18 months, cigarette producers and importers will have to comply with its provisions, which include stricter rules on distribution and marketing of cigarettes. (Arientha Primanitha, Tobacco Bill Requires Graphic Warnings to Be Displayed on Cigarette Packaging in Indonesia, JAKARTA GLOBE (Jan. 9, 2013); Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia Nomor 109 Tahun 2012 Tentang Pengamanan Bahan Yang Mengandung Zat Adiktif Berupa Produk Tembakau Bagi Kesehatan [Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 109, Year 2012, Concerning Safeguards Against Addictive Substances in the Form of Tobacco Products], Ministry of Health website (last visited Jan. 14, 2013).)
In terms of the packaging of cigarettes, the regulation prescribes that a warning label and image be placed on the top portion of the front and back of boxes; the message must be printed clearly and start with the word "Warning" in white on a black background. (
While tobacco farmers were concerned about the impact of the regulation on their sales (Primanitha, supra), the country's Minister of Health, Nafsiah Mboi, recently said that the regulation was not "fierce enough" and that it would be "a huge sin" for cigarette advertisement to remain at its current level or increase. (Dessy Sagita & Markus Junianto Shihaloho, Health Minister Says Tobacco Rules Not Enough, JAKARTA GLOBE (Jan. 14, 2013).) One response of the government to the objections of tobacco producers is to state that the rules will not apply to smaller-scale businesses producing fewer than 24 million cigarettes per year. A second is to mandate that local governments work to diversify crops. (Primanitha, supra.)
Article 27 of the regulation pertains to cigarette advertising, which "should not trigger or advise people to smoke." (
According to the Chairman of the Tobacco Farmers Alliance, Nurtantio Wisnu Brata, that group and others representing the tobacco industry plan to challenge the regulation at the Supreme Court. They will argue that the new regulation represents unfair treatment of tobacco farmers. (
Smoking is widespread in Indonesia. According to a September 2012 survey, about 67% of male Indonesians over the age of 15 smoke, and 80% of the people are exposed to tobacco smoke in their homes. (Margie Mason, Indonesia Smoking: Two-Thirds of Country's Men Smoke, New Study Shows, THE HUFFINGTON POST (Sept. 11, 2012).)

Coming to a Theater Near You:BLOGGERS' DAY OUT!
I had such a fabulous day with these girls! Thanks Susan, Laura, and Glenda, for allowing an Arkansan to join ya'll in Tennessee. Beware, Lauralu is an enabler! She could find the best junk for ME to buy! And yes, Susan really does carry batteries in her purse (don't ask me how that tiny little lady carries so much weight in her purse). Glenda just stayed with us through lunch, so I don't know about her shopping and enabling abilities, or what she might carry in her purse! What I do know is that all three of these ladies are a lot of fun!
I wish I could meet all of my blogging buddies, because you are a fantastic group of people. laurie
