COVINGTON – Newton County's former lawn care contractor, Billy Durden, seeks to sue the county, claiming wrongful termination.
Durden, owner of Durden's Lawn Maintenance, also claims the county slandered and libeled him after it made the decision to hire another lawn care service.
The ante litem notice filed by Durden's attorney, John Strauss, states there was "no cause in termination" and the county failed to provide 90 days notice of termination to Durden.
Strauss sent Chairman Keith Ellis the ante litem notice on Nov. 19 of Durden's intention to pursue a lawsuit, but no one from the county has responded, Strauss said.
"I have not received any response from Chairman Ellis; nor have I received a response from Mr. Tommy Craig, to whom a copy of the ante litem notice was also sent," Strauss said Friday. "Occasionally I also receive responses from an insurance adjuster for a local governmental entity, but I have not received any such contact in this instance."
Strauss said he sent another email a couple of weeks ago to County Attorney Craig, but again has received no response.
"Although I had hoped that the parties would have an opportunity to explore settlement options before litigation, it appears that such an opportunity is not available," Strauss said. "The next step would be to file suit, which I anticipate beginning in the near future."
When contacted by the Citizen, Craig said the county is not ignoring Durden's claim.
"The county always takes ante litem notices seriously. The county has not yet responded to Mr. Durden's ante litem notice because the county is now in the process of investigating his claims," Craig said. "The investigation should be complete very soon. After the investigation is complete, we expect to report its findings to the Board of Commissioners in executive session."
County commissioners renewed Durden's contract on Feb. 5, 2013, with a 3-2 vote, locking in the county's lawn care costs of about $98,000 for five years. County Manager John Middleton noted during that meeting that Durden needed to renew his business license.
Following the meeting, the Citizen examined the business license files and discovered that Durden was operating without a valid license. Durden had also operated without a license from 2002 to 2006, during which time he held the county contract for lawn care.
Durden received a termination letter from County Manager John Middleton dated March 13, 2013, about a month after county commissioners voted to renew his contract. The letter stated the contract with Durden had been "terminated for cause and will not be renewed."
Middleton's letter stated that the Board of Commissioners met for a special called meeting on Feb. 26 and voted unanimously not to renew the current agreement since Durden's Lawn Service did not renew its Newton County business license before it expired in 2012.
The county's termination notice to Durden stated that the failure to renew the business licenses was not an "isolated occurrence as Durden's Lawn Service has allowed this business license to expire yearly prior to the annual expiration date."
County commissioners agreed to issue a Request for Proposal for the landscape maintenance service in late February — the first time since 2006 — and awarded the lowest bidder in May. Lawn care maintenance is now provided by Rockdale County-based G&G Landscape Management at a total cost of $67,680.

Survey: 25% of SMBs hiring in 2013
Twenty-five percent of U.S. small- and mid-sized businesses have hired or will hire in 2013, according to Sage North America's SMB Hiring Outlook Survey released today. Forty-seven percent expect their staffing levels to remain the same in 2013 and 7 percent of respondents said they will decrease their staff in 2013.
Of those companies that have hired or plan to hiring this year, 82 percent will staff with full-time employees; 29 percent will hire part-time employees; 10 percent plan to hire contract workers; and 19 percent plan to hire seasonal workers.
"In previous Sage surveys, small and mid-sized businesses have repeatedly reported that taxes and regulations are a roadblock for their business growth," said Connie Certusi, executive vice president and general manager at Sage Small Business Solutions. "However, what this survey indicates is that while taxes and regulations are factors that influence hiring, the No. 1 driver is a demand for products and services or lack thereof. Uncertainty in Washington, the Affordable Care Act, the minimum wage increase and other issues are secondary."
Sage North America surveyed 973 businesses in May 2013.

Plastic bollard covers (also referred to as "sleeves" or "bumper post covers") provide cost-effective protection for steel pipe bollards. Plastic bollard covers keep security posts in their best condition, extending their service life and replacing the need for regular painting. Plastic bollard covers are available in a range of colors and styles to ensure the best visibility and design for existing buildings and landscapes.
Prices subject to change without notice.
Plastic covers ensure perimeter security doesn't detract from site aesthetics. Standard steel-pipe security bollards offer minimal visibility or decorative appeal and require regular painting to protect from weathering and rust—especially in areas with regular exposure to moisture and high-saline conditions where bollards are exposed to salt-water spray or de-icing salts.
A range of colors and styles are available in sizes designed to fit all steel pipe diameters. Choose from utility or decorative designs to enhance visibility or match existing building and landscape decor.
Security bollards perform best when they are highly visible—providing visual guidance as well as physical protection. When drivers can't see them, inconspicuous steel posts can do more harm than good.
Plastic covers increase safety by providing better visual presence for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians—clearly identifying roadways, parking spaces and off-limit areas. Plastic covers are especially suitable for industrial and high-traffic commercial areas. Due to their height and physical presence, bollards provide ideal traffic guidance to avoid collisions and maintain site walkability.
Reflective strips are available for utility covers to increase visibility in low-light and adverse weather conditions.
Plastic covers are made from durable polyethylene and won't fade or chip. Covers resist physical marking from collisions and chemical wear from solvents and de-icing salts. They are fully recyclable and will last up to 5 to 15 years depending on the environment.
Easily install plastic covers with foam compression strips to ensure they remain securely fastened. Covers can be trimmed to suit individual bollard heights or surface gradients. Upon request, Reliance Foundry will trim plastic covers to specified lengths.

35-year-old Andrea Lenette Culver has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of her 6 month old son.
The incident started Sunday around 10:25 a.m. at 611 Ashland Drive.
Medics arrived at the scene after the baby was reportedly not breathing.
The infant was taken to southeast alabama medical center ... Where he was pronounced dead.
News 4 spoke with a family member off camera who says the whole thing was an accident.
She said the baby boy got caught between a head board and mattress.
Investigators have not confirmed this information.
However they did say the baby was left unattended for an extended period of time.
"Anytime you have a death it's a serious matter but everyone kind of takes the death of an infant to heart. This little guy, he didn't have a chance. So we are here to speak for him and make sure that justice is served, " says Dothan Police Department's Lt. Will Benny.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Drugmaker Roche says U.S. health regulators have delayed a decision on whether to expand approval of its drug Avastin for breast cancer, a use that has generated vigorous debate
among cancer specialists and patients.
The FDA granted Avastin accelerated approval for breast cancer in 2008 based on studies suggesting it halted the progression of the disease for more than five months. Roche submitted two additional studies last year designed to win full approval for the drug, although they did not confirm the results of its first study.
The FDA is now considering whether to revoke the drug's approval for breast cancer.
A panel of cancer experts supported that action in July, although cancer patients have petitioned the FDA to keep the drug available.

MARION -- All but two candidates who filed petitions will be on the March 6 primary ballot after the Marion County Board of elections voted to certify them.
The two candidates whose efforts to run in the primary fell short both filed as members of the Libertarian Party.
Sophie Rogers, elections director, said Spencer Phelps and Sulu Kelley III lacked the number of valid voter signatures needed to be certified.
"The reason is just not enough signatures," Rogers said. "That's the only reason for both of them."
Phelps had filed to seek the county recorder office currently held by Mary Jo Osmun, a Republican who has not filed to seek re-election. Karen Douglas, a Republican, has filed for the recorder office.
Kelley had pursued the county commissioner seat currently held by Andy Appelfeller. Appelfeller, a Republican, is on the primary ballot, as is Democrat Ayers Ratliff, a Marion city 2nd Ward councilman.
Kelley and Phelps were certified for the state central committee man, 26th District, race because they each had the five valid signatures required, Rogers said. A total of 25 valid signatures was needed for the other offices for which they filed petitions.
All of the county races are uncontested in the party primaries.
Candidates who were certified for the March 6 primary ballot are:
» Marion County Common Pleas judge, term commencing Jan. 1, 2013: Robert Davidson, Republican, incumbent; Jim Slagle, Democrat.
» Marion County Common Pleas judge, term commencing Jan. 2, 2013: William Finnegan, Democrat; Warren Edwards, Republican.
» Marion County commissioner, term commencing Jan. 2, 2013: Dan Russell, Democrat; Kerr Murray, Republican.
» Marion County commissioner, term commencing Jan. 3, 2013: Ayers Ratliff, Democrat; Andy Appelfeller, Republican.
» Marion County clerk of courts: Julie Kagel, Republican; Lori Maynard, Democrat.
» Marion County sheriff: Tim Bailey, Democrat.
» Marion County recorder: Karen Douglas, Republican.
» Marion County treasurer: Jan Draper, Democrat; Tom Oyster, Republican.
» Marion County engineer: Brad Irons, Republican.
» Marion County coroner: Dr. Marc Comianos, Republican.
» State senator, 26th District: Dave Burke, Republican; Tanyce Addison, Democrat.
» State representative, 86th District: Dorothy Pelanda, Republican; Cheryl Johncox, Democrat.
» State central committee man, 26th District: Sulu Kelley III, Spencer Phelps, Libertarian; Randy Weston, Democrat; Charles Knight, John Matthews, Justin Smith, Brad Culbert, Republican.
» State central committee woman, 26th District: Karyle Mumper, Lisa Cooper, Republican; Sandra Wise, Democrat.
Deadline to register to vote in the primary is Feb. 6, 2012.

Tucson Expediting & Development
We have used TED´s expediting services for many years. Their rapport with municipal officials and knowledge of the various regulations has been vital in our obtaining approvals, and they have saved us thousands of dollars. We recently used them to facilitate our development plan on a 350 unit multi-family complex, a complicated transaction with numerous issues. They were able to knock down issues prior to them becoming issues. When they say TED will get it done, they mean it.

VANCOUVER -- The Stanley Cup arrived at Rogers Arena roughly 3:30 p.m. Pacific time Wednesday. Cup-keeper Phil Pritchard looked calm, tie knotted and ready to help hand out the most treasured trophy in sports.
But that's today. There was a bit more drama and logistical sweating during Tuesday's transcontinental Cup journey from Boston to Vancouver.
The Cup was in a Boston hotel Monday for Game 6 but never transported to TD Garden due to the Bruins' big early lead. So chalk it up as an uneventful Game 6 night for Pritchard and the Cup-keeping crew.
Tuesday more than compensated. Pritchard and the Cup were delayed flying to Toronto from Boston due to overcast skies. There appeared no chance at making a connecting flight from Toronto to Vancouver.
Air Canada staffers had other ideas. To begin, they held the plane. Then the Air Canada employees sprung into a Hall of Fame shift.
"Air Canada made it all work," Pritchard said. "I understood the timing to be would not make the connection. But the Air Canada people on board said, 'Bear with us, we'll see what we can do.'"
Pritchard said two Canada Customs agents and an Air Canada representative met the Cup and its keepers at the gate in Toronto, quickly escorting Pritchard and crew to a side door where their luggage, the Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy were already waiting on a Customs cart. A police escort on the airport grounds weaved through other planes, taking Pritchard and colleague Craig Campbell to the Vancouver-bound plane. The luggage and trophies were placed in a special cargo spot and the humans with hardware made the flight.
In Vancouver, Air Canada representatives met the Cup and crew to reach a special side exit to avoid media (at the airport to cover the airline's strike and aware the Cup was arriving).
"We went out a different exit, got our bags and they took us to the rental car location," said Pritchard, a Hockey Hall of Fame employee who has traveled with the Cup for years. "It was all amazing. I think everybody is a hockey fan."
Certainly, some of those Canuck fans are superstitious along with hockey players. Pritchard said the Air Canada officials in Vancouver did not want a look inside the Cup case to see the silver symbol, nor take pictures with it.
"They said they want to see it if the Canucks win," Pritchard said, "but not before the game tonight."

One soldier who fought in Afghanistan was in a self-induced coma in the hospital's intensive care unit. His mother was there to greet a group of Sharks that included Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Scott Nichol. While expressing her thanks to the group of players for taking the time to visit, emotion overwhelmed her and she broke down in tears.
"It's real humbling, that's for sure," Nichol said. "It's moving, for sure. That's going to tug on every heart string you got in there."
Defenseman Andreas Lilja was in a different group touring the hospital. He spent time talking with Staff Sergeant Albert Castillo, who was recovering from surgery after suffering two gunshot wounds resulting from sniper fire in Afghanistan. Less than five minutes earlier, Castillo was walking through the ward in an effort to get his blood flowing and start the rehab process that would return him to the front lines.
Even with fresh holes in his hip and leg, Castillo wanted nothing more than to get back with his troops. It put things in perspective for everyone, especially Lilja.
"I get hit by a puck and I'm out," Lilja said. "These guys are rushing to go back."
It was a visit that served to both lift the spirits of the patients at Landstuhl and open the eyes of the players as to what a real warrior looks like. Thornton talked about hearing Castillo's story of how he was wounded.
"He said, 'I felt this thing go through my leg and I didn't know what it was. I thought it was a hard paintball.' We're like, 'What?'" Thornton said. "We take a slapper off the shin pad and we think it kind of stings. These guys really are warriors. We like to say that term throughout sports. But these guys are the real warriors."
Sgt. Jason Livingston was still visibly dazed from taking shrapnel to the back of his neck but welcomed the visit. LCpl. Michael Allen -- a Fresno, Calif., native -- was confined to his bed, but still offered encouragement to the Sharks for their upcoming games in Stockholm against the Columbus Blue Jackets, part of the 2010 Compuware NHL Premiere series.
"You guys should give them hell," he said.
It's easy as a jaded sports fan to think a visit like this might not have an impact on soldiers who aren't necessarily from the San Jose area or aren't die-hard hockey fans. Castillo explained why appearances like this mean so much to wounded soldiers who are fighting a war.
"It shows that we've evolved throughout this conflict to where there's real support," Castillo said. "I signed up when I was 17 to serve my country and it was kind of sad at first when the war kicked off, people saying we shouldn't be involved, we shouldn't take part.
"We're from a country where it's all volunteer service. To get this kind of support from guys that could be back home or training for games or just living it up, they go out of their way to come here. This is awesome. There's nothing better than this."
Grown men trained to be lethal killers suddenly turned into giddy children as the Sharks approached. Josh Taylor, an Airman First Class in the Air Force and the Eagles' goaltender, could barely contain himself after meeting the players.
"I'm pretty excited," said Taylor, a St. Louis native who especially was overwhelmed to meet Mayers, who joined the Sharks this summer but spent 10 seasons with the Blues. "It's just a blast being around them."
From there it was off to Landstuhl's "Warrior Center," which serves as a recreation room where patients can gather to watch television, eat and socialize with one another. Not by coincidence, "Slap Shot" was playing on the flat-screen television for the Sharks' arrival, where they were greeted with a pasta dinner and desserts, all cooked by volunteers who wanted to show their appreciation.
The Sharks blended in seamlessly. Pavelski sat down with a paper plate full of ziti and chatted with a group of patients. Niemi and Thornton posed for pictures. Mayers signed autographs. McCarthy cut a specially made cake with a Sharks logo on it. Nichol held court with a mixed group of walking wounded and Kaiserslauten Eagles as if he'd known them forever.
It was an experience no one on either side of the visit ever will forget.
"Everyone is so supportive," Nichol said. "They were happy for us to come and support them. We really appreciate what they do for us. There's a few of them in there with gunshot wounds and they're an hour and a half out of surgery, in such good spirits and joking around with us. Just talking to them and the men in their units, it's similar to the guys on our team who would do anything for each other. We have a lot of similarities, but those guys are unbelievable. They lay it on the line every single day."
"They were really appreciative for us to come over and kind of take some time, but really it was great for us to give them thanks for what they do for our country and so many countries around the world," Thornton said. "It was something really cool."

Before you stock up on time-saving gift bags and silver tissue this season, Rachel Zoe, Lela Rose and more want you to consider switching back to old school wrapping paper.
Seven major designers and taste makers—including Zoe, Rose, Rachel Roy and Simon Doonan—have created festive wrap for homegoods site One Kings Lane. Proceeds from each collection—one roll costs $15—will go to the charity of the designer's choice.
The limited-edition gift wrap isn't your average drugstore-bought, fat-snowmen-ice-skating kind. Zoe's animal prints, or the roses by Alice + Olivia's Stacey Bendet, will work for occasions far beyond December 25.
As of today, only the first trio of styles—designed by Zoe and benefiting the Save the Children Foundation—are available on the website. But in the slideshow below you can peek the rest, along with each one's corresponding charity and release date.

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating why an airplane crashed just after taking off from a small Chanceford Township airport Thursday morning, injuring its two occupants.
"There wasn't enough lift and they weren't able to get over power lines," Sgt. Joseph Christaldi said. "For whatever reason, they couldn't get enough height."
The plane took off from Baublitz Commercial Airport, but quickly became entangled in power lines and crashed in a cornfield near Muddy Creek Forks Road.
Christaldi said Thursday afternoon that troopers, possibly with the help of the Federal Aviation Administration, would continue to investigate.
"We need to find out if there were any malfunctions that could have contributed to the crash," he said.
A representative of the FAA did go to the crash site Thursday, according to a spokesman for the agency.
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash because the aircraft was destroyed, according to the FAA.
NTSB planned to have an investigator at the site either Thursday or Friday, according to a spokesman for the agency.
The crash, reported to 911 at 10:34 a.m., triggered a power outage in the Chanceford Township area, New Bridgeville Fire Company Deputy Chief Terry Snelbaker said.
State police identified the pilot as Randy Shoemaker, 20, and the passenger as Laurence Stone, 61, both of Windsor. The two men suffered non-life threatening injuries in the crash, and both were taken to York Hospital, Trooper Rob Hicks said in a release.
According the Federal Aviation Administration Registry, the aircraft is a 1975 fixed wing single-engine Piper aircraft.
Bruce Eveler, manager of the Baublitz Commercial Airport, said the plane, a small Piper Cherokee, got snagged in some wires after taking off from the airport's single runway.
"When they were taking off, apparently, they didn't get enough altitude," Eveler said. "They hit the power lines at the end of the field."
The crash drew several residents to the area, which consists mainly of farms and fields, dotted with an occasional house.
Louise Amalfitano, who along with her husband Tom, own a farm nearby the crash site, said they lost power and use of their telephone just after the crash.
"My neighbor said he heard a big bang, like an explosion, and he called it in, but they (911) had already heard," she said.
She added that when she reached the scene, she saw medical technicians helping to one of the plane's occupants, while an ambulance with the other was leaving.
Bonnie Barker, who lives on Forry Road, said she was hanging planters on her back porch when the crash occurred.
"Something white caught my eye and then I heard this big noise and I saw all the white smoke coming up," she said. "I hopped in my Jeep and came to the road to see what was going on."
While she drove, she thought, "Oh my God, I hope the people are OK."
Barker's boyfriend, Tom Cordwell, who has lived in his house for 37 years, started ticking off on his fingers the number of airplane crashes that have occurred at or near Baublitz Airport over the years.
"Off the top of my head, there's eight," he said. "So far."

I think the first was probably a cassette tape of Duran Duran's Seven & the Ragged Tiger. So much hairspray! The last I downloaded was The Groove Sessions by Chinese Man and Darker Days by The Q4.
12. Something you do when you're procrastinating?
Read blogs.
13. What is your most defining characteristic?
I have no idea!
14. What is your greatest fear?
Death is only terrible for who you leave behind. Pain and losing the ones I love are what scare me.
15. The moment you realized you were an 'artist':
Probably when I was in grade school and drawing pictures for people. I wince to call myself 'an artist' because it is such a loaded word. I feel much better calling myself a painter or a creative person.
16. Your greatest quality:
I am loved.
17. Something you wish you could change or alter about yourself:
I wish I was more confident and outgoing.
18. What is the biggest risk you've ever taken and was it worth it?
To trust that I would be OK in the world. It was definitely worth it.
19. Something you wish you had known five years ago:
To get my wisdom teeth out before they cause painful problems.
20. What do you hope to accomplish in the next five years of your life?
Paint and create more and find time to try new things and visit new places. I wish I could find a way to live with less sleep so I could get more done in a day!

So Research in Motion has finally gotten rid of its two CEOs, as your cards and letters demanded. But the stock is going nowhere, because it turns out that just getting rid of a couple of people doesn't actually solve anything by itself.
In fact, the new guy, Thorsten Heins, doesn't sound like he's going to do anything all that much different than the old guys, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis, did.
The stock initially popped on the news Balzaridis, as we'll call them for short, was out. After a conference call with Heins, in which he said he was going to stay RIM's already rocky course, the stock is now down 7% in early trading.
You shouldn't be so worried, says Jennifer Fritzsche at Wells Fargo:

In this famous essay, now widely available for the first time in English translation, Weil challenges the foundation of the modern liberal political order and proposes that politics can only begin where the party spirit comes to an end. The volume also includes a portrait of Weil by the Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz and an essay about Weil's friendship with Albert Camus by Simon Leys.
The great Polish poet Aleksander Wat's memoirs provide a powerful and moving account of life in Eastern Europe in the terrible twentieth century.

|The association between early minor motor difficulties in extreme low birth weight infants and school age attentional difficulties.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16337099 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: Extremely premature infants of normal intellectual ability have an increased prevalence of motor and attentional difficulties. Knowledge of the relationship between early motor difficulties and measures of attention at school age would enhance understanding of these developmental pathways, their interrelationship and opportunities for intervention. OBJECTIVE: This study examines whether an association exists between early findings of minor motor difficulties and school age clinical and psychometric measures of attention. METHODOLOGY: 45/60 eligible ELBW(1000 g) or preterm (< 27/40 gestation) infants born at the Mater Mother's Hospital were assessed at 12 and 24 months for minor motor deficits (using NSMDA) and at 7-9 years for attention, using clinical (Conners and Du Paul Rating Scales) and psychometric (assessing attention span, selective and divided attention) measures. RESULTS: NSMDA at 12 months was only associated with the psychometric measures of verbal attention span. It was not associated with later clinical measures of attention. NSMDA at 24 months was strongly associated with specific clinical measures of attention at school age, independent of biological and social factors. It was not associated with psychometric measures of attention. CONCLUSION: The major finding of this study is that motor difficulties in ELBW infants at 2 years are associated with later clinical measures of attention. Possible mechanisms underlying this relationship are considered.

So here I am sort of going through my 2008 race/organized ride schedule and I see THIS:
Saturday, April 26th
My annual season kick-off, the WiSport road race in Whitewater, WI
This would be my fourth year of competing in it.
Saturday, April 26th
The WCA Whitnall Park Crit, where 'real' racers gather all day long to compete on basically my home training route. Where a certain BF member named recursive will be racing again, as was Cromulent and a couple others I believe last spring.
Now what?
Two great events on the same day, too far apart to do both.
I could be at UW Whitewater doing this:
I could be enjoying myself photographing and cheering on THESE guys:
Of all the weekends in spring, why did these two events have to share a date?

LG G3 rumored to have laser-guided autofocus system for rear camera
updated 02:34 pm EDT, Fri May 23, 2014
Clenched fist gesture rumored to trigger selfie photographs in LG G3
LG will be using a laser-based focusing system in its upcoming LG G3, according to a rumor. The imaging detail comes at the same time as new teaser videos surface for the flagship smartphone in South Korea, ahead of its expected launch on May 27th, with the videos giving a few glimpses of a case seen before in multiple earlier leaks and rumors.
The Verge claims the G3 will use the laser in a similar way to the second camera on the HTC One M8, next to its 13-megapixel OIS+ camera, sensing the depth of a subject and in theory reducing the time between the user pressing the shutter button in the camera app, and when the image is taken. The camera will also use gesture recognition with its 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, automatically taking a self portrait when the user clenches their fist in front of the device.
The first of three teaser videos on LG's Korean website gives a clear view of the G3's rear, showing it to either have a brushed metal casing or one mimicking the texture. The second, for the display, confirms it will have a resolution of 2560x1440, while the last one teases its camera.
A recent "secret" pre-launch event revealed the LG G3 will have a 5.5-inch display, a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 3,000mAh battery. It will also ship at the same time as the QuickCircle case, a cover for the phone with a circular window, allowing users to read notifications and perform a variety of functions without removing the cover.

- Minnesota Twins' Justin Morneau to Boston? Not likely, source says

- Minnesota Twins' Justin Morneau clears waivers
Traditional baseball logic: If you're going to be lousy, it's better to be lousy as inexpensively as possible.
The Twins are going to be lousy for a couple more years -- make no mistake about that. The lack of progress at the big league level the past three years has been astounding. Not one position player, with the possible exception of Brian Dozier, has grabbed hold of a job. Not one starting pitcher has made himself a part of the future.
So on Saturday, the Twins traded Justin Morneau to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The compensation is irrelevant. This is about clearing veterans and salary. They couldn't possibly justify signing Morneau for next season because the team is too far away from being halfway decent. My educated guess is that the front office would turn a cartwheel if it could find a way to unload Josh Willingham, too.
The Twins field the worst everyday lineup in baseball. It's about to get worse.
Over the years, Morneau and Joe Mauer became the faces of the franchise. Morneau grew tremendously as a ballplayer and as a person with Twins. A converted catcher, he arrived at the Metrome in 2002 as a sketchy first baseman with a questionable clubhouse attitude. He broke all the rookie rules of behavior to the point where team leader Torii Hunter once took a poke at him.
But Morneau quickly evolved and became the epitome of class, setting a proper example for the many young players that followed.
Morneau became one of the most illustrious, recognizable players in franchise history. As a result, the Twins might have tried to find a way to bring him back for one more season. But they didn't even try, refusing all requests to negotiate an extension. Clearly that's because they don't think he can play up to his previous level, and that may be a legitimate concern.
Morneau has been banged up since 2010 and hasn't shown the same consistent pop. Pitches once clubbed over the fence landed in outfielders' gloves. Sometimes his swing was so out of sorts against lefties he looked like Ichiro, bailing and reaching at the same time.
Recently, he's had a power surge; whether it's an aberration or a sign of things to come, I don't know. I hope it all comes back to him and he hits 40 home runs next year. But at 32, and with his history of injuries, he's not a sure thing. Obviously, the Twins didn't think so, either.
The most frustrating thing is that three years into the collapse, the Twins still are dismantling. They're much better at getting rid of old pieces than they are at adding reliable new ones. It's been one failed audition after another. In the meantime, everyone waits for Class A and Class AA players to get here and save the day. It's as if we're all just biding time.
I understand why Terry Ryan traded Justin Morneau. I just wish I knew if there was more to the plan that just dumping salaries and waiting for a bunch of 20-year-olds to develop.

Paywalls for All or Not? The Real Issue is What's the Core Offering
Posted: 4/1/2013 | By: Charles Arthur | The Guardian
Begin talking about putting paywalls around online news content and all sorts of things happen. In my case, you get accused of being a "soft leak" for forthcoming
plans (I'm not: I have no idea whether Guardian News & Media has any such plans), along with a parade of the polarised arguments.
The news that the
will introduce some form of charging (probably a fence around Premier League video clips), and the
will erect a so-called "porous paywall" offering a certain number of articles per month free before you start paying, certainly has people thinking.

Few logo redesigns have created such a furor as Gap's, which was unveiled last week. To catch up, Gap rolled out a redesigned logo that looks like it took two minutes to create in a Graphic Design 101 course. Or, if you prefer your opinions more crass, there's Your Logo Makes Me Barf's take on it. A satirical Twitter account was even set up for the mournful logo.
Then Gap did a complete about-face, scrapped the new design and brought back the old one. But more on that in a moment.
It turns out this isn't just a bad logo to laugh at and forget about quickly – last week Gap posted on its Facebook page that, following the high amount of response and emotion the redesign prompted, now the company would "like to see other ideas. Stay tuned for details in the next few days on this crowd sourcing project." Hmmm … crowdsourcing? As in, controversial practice that has the potential for contract- and wage-free work?
Needless to say, the graphic design community swarmed the Internet with its thoughts. AIGA tweeted that it sent a message about spec work to Gap management "on behalf of all designers." Your Logo Makes Me Barf posted an easy, five-step process to tell Gap where to take its spec. And Brand New compiled the best memes and blogs, my favorite being an open letter from branding firm Siegel + Gale asking Gap, its "neighbors across the street," to meet for coffee to discuss Siegel + Gale's ideas about how to correct Gap's "misstep." Click on the link to see how Siegel + Gale ensured it would get Gap's attention.
Personally, I think a lot of this fuss about the actual logo redesign is a bit much – it's not the worst logo fail ever. The more I look at the old – now new again – logo, the more I think it's quite old-fashioned, and the serif font gets a bit lost in the deep blue box. While it was a familiar logo, I wouldn't call it iconic. I think if Gap had left well enough alone, the attention would have died down, and the public would have moved on to the latest subject of outcry. But with its teasing posts about crowdsourcing, Gap only succeeded in raising the ire even more of graphic designers, who now wonder why the company hadn't sought out their opinions to begin with.
When Tropicana rebranded last year, sales plunged 20 percent, and the company scrapped the new packaging after it'd been on shelves for less than two months. Perhaps Gap's crowdsourcing campaign would have been an effort to engage customers rather than watch sales slide.
What do you think – could you come up with a worse redesign than Gap's? Was the redesign and return to the old design a publicity stunt?

In a future world with expensive oil and limits on carbon emissions, rail is a leading contender for freight and passenger transport. High speed rail has been deployed successfully in Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. The United States has a large rail freight industry and there are proposals to build high speed rail passenger services between major population centers. A notable example is the planned $18 billion project to link San Francisco to San Diego in California. The first leg of this project has been announced recently with some controversy. Due to protests by residents of the San Francisco area plus limited funds, the first leg will not connect any major cities.
First leg of California high-speed rail project chosen, critics call it a 'train to nowhere'
Citing a need for jobs and fast-approaching federal deadlines for funding, the California High-Speed Rail Authority board on Thursday unanimously approved construction of the first leg of the project — a 65-mile section in the Central Valley that would not operate trains until more of the system is built.
Costing at least $4.15 billion, the segment would run between Borden and Corcoran with stations in Fresno and Hanford, which are located in an area of the state hit so hard by the recession and declines in agriculture that it has been dubbed the New Appalachia.
Let's compare the benefits of electric rail with electric aviation:
- Carbon dioxide emissions – both forms of transport use electricity and can potentially use carbon neutral power sources like wind and solar. They have equal ability to offset existing emissions from conventional aviation and road transport.
- Capital costs – Electric aviation does not require the construction of rails, bridges, viaducts and tunnels. The capital costs for rail are much higher than aviation.
- Passenger convenience – Electric aviation would allow much more frequent journeys and point-to-point transport. Train schedules would be limited by access to the single track. Typically, inter-city services operate hourly or less often.
- Speed – Electric aviation would be faster than rail. Modern aircraft typically travel at 500 mph or faster. High speed trains operate at 200-250 mph.
- Noise pollution – Electric aviation would be almost silent for the take-off and cruise phases. The landing would cause moderate noise in the vicinity of the airport. High speed rail would generate considerably more noise for the length of it's journey.
- Land use – high speed trains require dedicated corridors of land for rails and supporting infrastructure. The land purchases are a major obstacle to the roll-out of rail to new routes. Electric aviation does not require new land purchases and will be deployed using the existing footprint of airports.
- Geographic distribution – Most small regional towns in America have an air-strip. It is possible to deploy electric aviation at thousands of towns in a decentralized fashion. Realistically, high speed rail will only reach a small fraction of towns between major population centers. Aviation will have much wider distribution due to the lower capital costs and land requirements.
High speed rail has been successful in some European countries, but it is notable that conventional aviation still provides a high percentage of the inter-city travel in Europe. The capital costs and limited distribution of high speed rail are major issues. Electric aviation can potentially deliver greater environmental benefits at lower cost.

A Golden girl in Spain
On this day in 1992, the Summer Olympics opened in Barcelona, and a 16-year-old American would become golden. Jennifer Capriati defeated Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in the semifinal and upset Steffi Graf in the final. Capriati, who had been in the world spotlight since turning pro as a 13-year-old, would go on to win three Grand Slam titles in her career and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2012.

|Effects of adiponectin on oxidative stress and apoptosis in human cardiac myocytes cultured with high glucose.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23217388 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to investigate the effects of adiponectin on oxidative stress and apoptosis in human cardiac myocytes (HCM) cultured with high glucose.
METHODS: The cells were assigned to three group: control group, high glucose group and high glucose plus adiponectin group. After culture for 24, 48, 72 hours, oxidative stress was evaluated by detecting levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the supernatant of culture media. The expression of p66Shc and Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Flow cytometry was designed to observe and detect cellular apoptosis.
RESULTS: Our findings showed significant increase in MDA levels and decrease in SOD activity in the high glucose group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). However, MDA levels were significantly decreased and SOD activity was significantly increased in the adiponectin group compared with those in the high-glucose group (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of HO-1 in the high glucose group was significantly increased in a time-dependent manner compared with that in the control group (P < 0.05). Adiponectin further increased the mRNA expression of HO-1 induced by high glucose in a time-dependent manner (P < 0.05).The expression of p66Shc was significantly increased in high glucose group compared with that in the control group (P < 0.05). Adiponectin significantly suppressed the upregulation of p66Shc induced by high glucose (P < 0.05). The apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes was significantly increased in the high glucose group compared with that in the control group while the apoptotic rate in the adiponectin group was remarkably declined in comparison with that in the high glucose group.
CONCLUSION: Adiponectin reduces high glucose-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis and plays a protective role in myocardial cells by upregulating the HO-1 expression and downregulating p66Shc expression.

November 26, 2015
Nashville (AP) -- The 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of execution Thursday for Donnie Johnson.
He was scheduled to die in the electric chair next Wednesday and would have been the first prisoner put to death by that method in Tennessee in 46 years.
Johnson, of Covington, was convicted in 1985 of suffocating his wife by stuffing a plastic garbage bag into her mouth in Memphis.
Kelley Henry, one of Johnson's lawyers, said the stay was issued based on an argument filed by Johnson's attorneys in a brief a month ago, alleging that the state had made a deal with a co-defendant in exchange for his testimony against Johnson.
The state could challenge the stay.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- September 9, 1996 -- Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq:SYMC) today announced that Hewlett-Packard Company will OEM Symantec's Exposé as the exclusive technology for managing PC servers through HP's OpenView Professional Suite.
The new HP Exposé provides server monitoring, control, alerts and graphs from the OpenView Workgroup Node Manager console to manage NT and NetWare network operating system (NOS) environments.
In addition, trial versions of Symantec's pcANYWHERE32 will be available on OpenView Professional Suite. These award-winning components allow administrators to proactively manage heterogeneous networks and seamlessly manage remote network resources including remote servers and mobile users.
"Symantec and Hewlett-Packard have a long-established relationship for providing network administrators with the tools they need to better manage today's complex IT environments," said Ted Schlein, Symantec vice president, Networking and Client/Server technology. "Symantec's best-of-breed PC network administration products, coupled with HP's leadership in network and device management, make OpenView Professional Suite a comprehensive solution."
"The combination of products from two market leaders means network managers have industry leading tools to manage their environments," said Rob Millier, marketing manager, Hewlett-Packard's OpenView Operations. "We are pleased to team with Symantec to bring an integrated, out-of -the-box solution to our customers."
HP Exposé from Symantec for Integrated Server Management
HP Exposé from Symantec provides OpenView Professional Suite administrators with real- time server management, including event management, server alarms and graphs. A library of built-in alarms and graphs are supplied for both NetWare and NT servers, for a kick-start in implementing PC server management. Administrators can create custom libraries using graphical scripts to construct business process work-flow designed responses to common server problems. HP Exposé can collect and manage server NOS data and forward information onto the OpenView Professional Suite console, alarm engine and logging system. The program will be included and integrated into all copies of OpenView Professional Suite.
Norton Administrator for Networks and pcANYHWERE32
In addition, HP's OpenView Professional Suite includes limited node versions of Symantec's popular Norton Administrator for Networks and pcANYWHERE32. Norton Administrator for Networks delivers immediate return on investment by providing an integrated LAN-to-WAN scaleable solution for hardware/software inventory, software distribution, and software license metering across heterogeneous desktop and LAN environments.
With pcANYWHERE32, administrators can remotely manage Windows95 and Windows NT workstations and servers from the OpenView Professional Suite console. With more than three million active users, pcANYWHERE is the best-selling remote access software available. Once connected, users can securely log into their office network, access documents, and remotely operate Windows-based applications. pcANYWHERE32 further increases productivity by letting users remotely access devices on their PCs and networks, such as printers and CD-ROMs.
Symantec's Norton Administrator for Networks and pcANWHERE32 easily integrates into the OpenView Professional Suite console. Administrators who would like to extend their limited node version to a greater number of nodes, need only to call Symantec at (800) 441-7234. Hewlett-Packard will also provide its customers with a 45-day live trial of Symantec's Norton Administrator for Networks and Expose' at popular trade shows, including Networld+Interop and Comdex.
HP OpenView Professional Suite is a standards-based solution that helps network administrators control and proactively manage their heterogeneous PC LANs. With a single installation process, common graphical interface and out-of-the-box integration, HP's new suite helps companies reduce the cost of maintaining their IT network through the use of automated inventory and software metering, and faster problem recognition and diagnosis.
Hewlett-Packard is a leading global manufacturer of computing, communications and measurement products and services recognized for excellence in quality and support. Hewlett-Packard has 105,200 employees and had revenue of $31.5 billion in its 1995 fiscal year.

POSTED: 2:16 p.m. HST, Apr 18, 2014
Maui police have arrested a 41-year-old Wailuku man in connection with a hit-and-run collision that killed a 51-year-old Kihei woman.
The crash occurred at 11:13 p.m. Tuesday on Piilani Highway. Police said Viki Deardorff was walking along the highway when the truck struck her. The driver fled the scene. Deardorff was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man turned himself in Friday at the Wailuku Police Station. He was arrested and later released pending further investigation.
Police said the Vehicle Homicide Unit went to his home, but no one had answered the door. They returned after he turned himself in and seized a bronze 2012 Toyota Tacoma as evidence.
Maui police had issued a request earlier this week for the public's help in finding the truck.
Deardorff's death marked the sixth traffic fatality on Maui in 11 days and the ninth death this year compared to four at the same time last year.

|Utero-ovarian interaction in the regulation of reproductive function.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10027608 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The physiological regulation of fertile reproductive cycle in mammals depends on interactions between hypothalamus-pituitary, ovarian and uterine stimuli. Over the past 20 years, much has been learned about the interrelation between the affluent and effluent lymph and vascular drainage in and around both ovarian and uterine tissues. An essential feature in the regulation of the fertile cycle is the functional status of the ovary, particularly the corpus luteum. During the time of implantation and the early pregnancy, an active corpus luteum is essential. As human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) is important in the maintenance of the corpus luteum, we investigated if it was produced by the cyclic endometrium. Immunohistochemical and in-situ hybridization reactions were performed but neither identified the presence of HCG during the proliferative phase. Positive staining and beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-HCG) mRNA were observed during the secretory phase in the glandular cells of the endometrium. The results were confirmed by Western blotting of secretory phase endometrium extracts and assessment of the functional secretory capacity of primary endometrial cultures. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) investigations showed a positive result in the secretory phase. We postulate that, based on the very close morphological interrelation between the uterus and the ovary, the beta-HCG of the endometrium is the primary factor for the maintenance of the corpus luteum and early pregnancy.

text: Ran across this post on e-Bay the other day, just a standard 750ml bottle. It says it is "very limited" and "extremely hard to find" and is a "collectible bottle". BT is on the shelves of every store I have been in. I sent the seller a message asking why this is sooo rare and hard to find. Have not received an answer as of yet. Is this really that difficult to find or is the seller just trying to push a bottle of whiskey on the unknowing? Hell, I can pick up a bottle of this for what they are charging just to ship it, $21!

The Civil War at Sea
How the Navy came of age in the War Between the States.
Dec 3, 2012, Vol. 18, No. 12 • By JOSEPH F. CALLO
The names of the epic Civil War land battles—Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga—have a certain ring to them. Even the term "Sherman's March to the Sea" is evocative. In contrast, there is little that reverberates in the names of the Civil War's naval actions, which include the Battles of Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Island 10, Fort Sumter, and Mobile Bay, as well as the occupation of New Orleans.
The Monitor meets the Merrimac, Hampton Roads, 1862
Yet knowledge of the naval component of the Civil War is crucial for a number of compelling reasons. Arguably the foremost is that it's essential in determining how that war was lost by the Confederacy and won by the Union. There's also the matter of the unusual number of technological advances in naval warfare that occurred during the war between the states, including steam propulsion, ironclad hulls, screw propellers, rifled cannons, explosive shells, rotating gun turrets, submersibles, and naval mines. And those technological advances did more than reshape the naval combat of the Civil War; they significantly expanded the ways that naval power would be employed in the future.
In a broader context, the naval component of the Civil War is also a unique chapter of the full narrative of American maritime power. In that perspective, it serves as a historical bridge, connecting the United States' stunning advance as a major maritime nation during the War of 1812 to the sweeping seapower concepts personified by Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan and President Theodore Roosevelt at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
Enter James McPherson's exceptionally well-illustrated descriptions of the Civil War's major naval events. Covered with relevant detail and clarity, these events include: the Union's blockading of the Confederacy's Atlantic
There are also well-detailed descriptions of specific combat actions, such as the series of Union Navy actions on the lower Mississippi River that resulted in the capture of New Orleans early in the war, and the Battle of Mobile Bay in August 1864, which helped seal the fate of the Confederacy. Between these two historical bookends is a complex and bloody narrative filled with the successes and failures of both sides, and the many lessons learned by a still-young United States.
Of particular interest is the important but often neglected connective tissue between the main events of the war. That connective tissue includes such diverse elements as international trade, interservice rivalry between the Union's Army and Navy, the potential and actual involvement of Great Britain, France, and other nations, and the oft-overlooked but significant influence of geography. And, by way of connective tissue, McPherson consistently illuminates how key military and civilian leaders influenced the war's storyline. In the second paragraph of his introduction, for example, McPherson presages his dedication to recognizing the importance of key players with a strong (and, for many, surprising) opinion about the Union's Admiral David Glasgow Farragut:
Another key leader, in this case a civilian, was Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, who served in that job from March 1861 until March 1869. During his tour he became known for his management skills and for refusing to rely on seniority when making key appointments. Early in his study, McPherson describes the secretary:
Later, McPherson leaves no doubt about Welles's important role in the Union's victory, and his strength of character in standing up to public criticism:

Great place. Almost everything on menu is Gluten Free. Refreshing to be able to dine at a steakhouse and have so many choices of delicious gf food. Definitely would recommend.
This restaurant has a lot of potential, but misses the mark for Celiacs. The restaurant was designed with the premise that most of the food is gluten free with only a couple of gluten foods on the menu. For a steakhouse, this is pretty easy to do. The food was delicious and the service was decent. A chef came to the table to discuss the order and they made substitutions. With some additional training, I think this restaurant has good bones and could really be successful so I don't want to write them off just yet.
