United States, Department of Housing and Urban Development (Agency) and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 3258 (Union)
[ v62 p52 ]
62 FLRA No. 14
March 23, 2007
Before the Authority: Dale Cabaniss, Chairman and
Wayne C. Beyer, Member
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Robert Whitman filed by the Agency under § 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Regulations. The Authority ordered the Agency to show cause why the exceptions should not be dismissed as interlocutory, to which the Agency filed a reply. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
The Arbitrator requested that the parties address the issue of arbitrability prior to reaching the merits of the case, and found that the grievance was arbitrable.
For the reasons that follow, we find that the exceptions are interlocutory and dismiss them without prejudice.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The Agency confiscated an employee's identification (ID) card because she allegedly made statements about using a gun against some of the employees in her office. The employee filed a grievance contesting the confiscation of her ID card and the Union invoked arbitration when the grievance was not resolved.
Prior to the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator directed the parties to submit briefs addressing only the question of jurisdiction. The Arbitrator also stated that, "if [] [I] decide [I] do have jurisdiction, then we will have a hearing, at which both sides can present evidence and argument. [I]f [I] decide [I] do not have jurisdiction, there is nothing more that [I] can do." Agency's Motion to Dismiss, Ex. 2. The Agency moved to dismiss the grievance, claiming that the ID card issue was not arbitrable under the parties' collective bargaining agreement (the agreement) and § 7106(a)(1) of the Statute. The Union filed a response to the Agency's Motion to Dismiss, asserting that the issue was arbitrable pursuant to the agreement and Authority precedent.
The Arbitrator found that the ID card issue was arbitrable. According to the Arbitrator, the confiscation of the ID card did not fall within the "suspension or removal" exemption of Section 22.05 of the parties' agreement, which provides that suspensions or removals relating to national security matters under 5 U.S.C. § 7532 are excepted from negotiated grievance procedures. Award at 3.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Agency
The Agency argues that the award is not interlocutory. The Agency contends that the Arbitrator's award is final because the issue of whether the grievance is arbitrable was the sole issue before the Arbitrator. Citing United States Information Agency, 32 FLRA 739 (1988) (USIA), the Agency argues that the Authority has found that arbitrability decisions prior to a hearing on the merits are final and that this case should be treated in the same manner.
The Agency also argues, in the alternative, that if the Agency's exceptions are interlocutory, then the Authority should consider the exceptions because they present a plausible jurisdictional defect in the award, the resolution of which will advance the ultimate disposition of the case. In this respect, the Agency contends that the plausible jurisdictional defect is that management's right to determine internal security practices precludes arbitration under § 7106(a)(1) of the Statute.
B. Union
The Union claims that the Agency's exceptions are interlocutory because the Arbitrator ruled only on the threshold issue of arbitrability, and has not made a final decision on the merits of the case.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
Section 2429.11 of the Authority's Regulations, 5 C.F.R. § 2429.11, provides, in pertinent part, that "the Authority . . . ordinarily will not consider interlocutory [ v62 p53 ] appeals." Pursuant to this regulation, the Authority ordinarily will not resolve exceptions to an arbitration award unless the award constitutes a complete resolution of all the issues submitted to arbitration. AFGE, Local 12, 61 FLRA 355, 356 (2005) (Local 12); United States Dep't of Transp., FAA, Wash., D.C., 60 FLRA 333, 334 (2004) (FAA); United States Dep't of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving & Printing, W. Currency Facility, Fort Worth, Tex., 58 FLRA 745, 746 (2003) (Dep't of Treasury). Consequently, an arbitration award that defers the determination of all issues submitted does not constitute a final award subject to review. See id. In particular, exceptions are considered interlocutory when the arbitrator has not made a final disposition as to a remedy. See id.
However, the Authority may review arbitration awards that are not final where the interlocutory appeal raises a plausible jurisdictional defect, the resolution of which would advance the ultimate disposition of the case. United States Dep't of Transp., FAA, 61 FLRA 634, 635 (2006) (Dep't of Transp.,). The Authority has explained that a "plausible jurisdictional defect is one that, on its face, is a credible claim . . . ." Library of Congress, 58 FLRA 486, 487 (2003) (Member Pope dissenting).
To begin, we reject the Agency's contention that this case is similar to USIA, which held that the agency's exceptions were not interlocutory because arbitrability was the sole issue submitted to and decided at arbitration. In USIA, the only issue submitted to arbitration was whether the dispute was arbitrable, and there was no indication that the parties had agreed to bifurcate the arbitration process. In contrast, here, the parties agreed to bifurcate the proceedings and, consistent with the parties' agreement, the Arbitrator resolved the a

I got a little relief this week exploring a new (to me) group, Vacationer.

Relief, much like Vacationer's debut, combines island influences with hip hop and alternative into a blend that has been dubbed "nu-hula."

|Vontaze Burfict must answer questions about his maturity and inconsistent production. (US Presswire)
All eyes will be on Andrew Luck as he familiarizes himself with the environs in Indianapolis and Lucas Oil Stadium this week.
Luck is widely expected to be the Colts' choice with the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft.
While off-field agendas are worth tracking this week -- players meet with individual teams for face-to-face interviews in hotel suites in between psychological and medical testing and the all-important workouts at the stadium -- there are several players who need to put together a great week in all phases of the combine.
Each session, from the 40-yard dash to the Wonderlic to the cattle call that is weigh-in and the shuttle to head-to-toe medical testing, can affect a player's final grade.
Here are the players the NFLDraftScout.com staff considers squarely in scouts' crosshairs:
|More on NFL Draft
|Related links
|NFL coverage on the go
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
The Heisman Trophy winner has been an impressive performer on and off the field, and the combine will represent an interesting test for him. First, what are his accurate height, weight, hand size, body type? And although he is expected to interview well, Griffin will also need to show an above-average football IQ when NFL teams talk X's and O's at the blackboard. Finally, will he throw in Indianapolis in an attempt to show a competitive edge or wait until his pro day in Waco?
Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
The emergence of Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham as verifiable No. 1 targets in 2011 will have teams searching for similar matchup nightmares in the 2012 draft. Allen won the Mackey Award as the nation's top college tight end, but his position atop NFLDraftScout.com's rankings is far from secure with both Stanford's Coby Fleener and Georgia's Orson Charles nipping at his heels. Charles in particular is expected to put up exciting workout numbers. Allen's superior size and blocking won't matter if his closest competitors prove significantly more athletic at the combine.
Vontaze Burfict, MLB, Arizona State
Since he first stepped foot in Tempe, Burfict has garnered comparisons to Ray Lewis for his ferocious hitting and short-area burst. But his undisciplined outbursts and fits of rage have also been well-documented, leading to strong concerns about coachability and maturity. Even more troubling to some is his lack of consistency and production. Burfict will need to do some major damage control in face-to-face interviews to secure a top-100 pick.
Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
Dennard entered the 2011 season rated higher by some scouts than former teammate Prince Amukamara, the Giants' 2011 first-round pick, but his senior season was a disappointment because of injury and inconsistency. Dennard's stock is slipping after he was beaten for big plays by South Carolina's Alshon Jeffery in the Capitol One Bowl and then by numerous receivers in the Senior Bowl. The 5-foot-10, 203-pound Dennard may have to work out well to slow the growing sentiment that his NFL future involves a position switch to safety.
Dont'a Hightower, ILB, Alabama
Considering his frame (listed by Alabama at 6-4, 260) and penchant for big hits, some consider Hightower to be the best run-defending linebacker in the 2012 draft. To earn a top 50 selection, Hightower has to run well at the combine. A number of teams operating out of the 4-3 defense question whether he has the speed to beat NFL backs to the edge.
Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
Despite posting gaudy career statistics against quality competition, few players have more riding on their performance in Indianapolis than Jeffery. Scouts not only will be very interested to see him perform in athletic drills testing his straight-line speed (40-yard dash) and burst changing directions (shuttles, cone drills), the former Gamecock could also be a popular interview target. Teams will heavily investigate Jeffery's fluctuating weight and production.
Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
The Ex-Florida Gator was a first-round caliber prospect in Gainesville, but multiple arrests and his eventual transfer to North Alabama in 2011 have surrounded the cornerback with doubt. He needs to interview well and be up front with NFL teams regarding his past encounters with the law to convince them his problems are in the past. But Jenkins also needs to run well to prove he has worked hard off the field to maintain his quick-twitch athleticism despite the lower level of competition. With a positive week in Indianapolis, he has a chance to secure the distinction as top senior cornerback and top-20 pick.
Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
In leading the nation in sacks (16) and forced fumbles (nine), he proved every bit as merciless to opponents as his surname would imply. Scouts question how much of his production was because of his motor and Illinois' hyper-aggressive scheme rather than elite burst or bend. North Carolina's Quinton Coples is the only defensive end universally regarded as a first-round talent. With an impressive showing in Indianapolis, Mercilus could join him.
Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis
Listed at 6-5, 350 pounds, Poe has rare movement skills and body control for a player with his frame and natural girth. But NFL decision-makers will look to get a better read on the mammoth tackle at the combine to find out how important football is to him. He comes with some questions, but stout and rangy nose tackles capable of carrying their weight as well as Poe usually don't last long on draft day.
Chris Polk, RB, Washington
After a mediocre showing at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Polk needs to show he has the necessary athleticism to be productive at the next level. Going through the short shuttle, three-cone and other agility drills will help answer questions about his natural burst and body fluidity to quickly change direction. After Alabama's Trent Richardson, the running back class is wide open, and Polk will have every opportunity to jump into the top 40.

Accurate face recognition and merge features are well worth the ducats.
Alfred E. Newman
Needs multicore optimization and an easier way to recognize more photos.
Every fall, you should set the clock back an hour, change the battery in the smoke alarm, and determine whether it's worth paying for the annual update to Photoshop Elements.
This year, Adobe hits the lucky number eight with the popular photo management app and finally adds the Holy Grail of photo organization tools: face recognition technology. Face recognition software is a boon to those of us who like to push the shutter button but aren't organized enough to tag the photos with anything useful. With face recognition, the promise is that you won't have to search through gigabytes of photos anymore, you'll just ask Elements 8.0 to find all the pictures of Susannah taken in 2009. Elements 8.0 combines the face recognition technology with its smart tagging, so you could also tell it to find all pictures of Susannah that are in group shots that are in focus. Again, the feature goes a long way toward taming our vast gigabytes of digital images.
But Adobe wasn't the only company to introduce a face recognition feature this year. Google rolled similar technology into its freebie Picasa 3.5. To find out which app was better at faces, we imported 20GB of photos into each organizer. The verdict? We found Photoshop Elements 8.0 to be more accurate, especially with children. However, the recognition process was tedious compared to Picassa 3.5, which would automatically recognize all of the photos and then ask you to approve them. Photoshop Elements 8.0 required us to select the photos we wanted recognized. But since Picasa isn't as accurate, you might end up spending more time sorting out the misses.
Performance was also an issue. While Picasa 3.5 felt snappy, Elements 8.0 felt slow on our 2.66GHz Core i5-750 box. Disappointingly, neither app was optimized for quad-cores.
Elements isn't just about face recognition, of course. It's also a powerful full-scale photo editor with RAW support for the latest cameras. As always, it's almost like a wrapper for the full version of Photoshop. In complexity terms, if Photoshop is Flight Sim X, Photoshop Elements 8.0 is HAWX.
Other new features in Elements 8.0 include a really handy exposure merge for combining photos. For example, you can take a night photo where the foreground is well lit by flash and merge it with one where the background is well lit. Also borrowed from Photoshop CS4 is the ability to intelligently "squeeze" photos together. This lets you easily move objects, such as two people standing too far apart, closer together.
There are a few other small updates to the app, such as thumbnails of changes before you apply them, but for the most part, the Elements package isn't radically different from its predecessor. So, unless face recognition is a feature you've been pining for, Photoshop Elements 7.0 users will be fine skipping the update. For folks who are currently on the hunt for a photo editor, it's a worthy choice and still our top recommendation for tyros.

If you have a spare 7mins I suggest you watch this video of Perry Clarke (Exchange PM) talk about Exchange 2010 Storage, SSD, Hot and Cold Data.
on youtube? Doesn't Microsoft have several video sites where this would be better suited?
good vid. i wonder how this plays into Microsoft's decision to allow archives to be stored on seperate disks in SP1. doesnt that conflict with the spirit of this vid?

Tristan, I like your list. Very practical advice. I think most people would try to set out to lead by these principles and then when under pressure many of them fall away. I'm thinking what underpins these to make them sustainable. For me it's the ability to be mindful, even when under pressure, so that you can be aware of your thoughts, feelings and actions and have the self discipline of these 12 principles. Thanks for sharing. Very useful. Terry
12 Most Obvious Signs of a Wise Leader
We live in an era of haste-based folly. These are the days of rapid rewards, speed dating, quick trim and slim fast. As impatience increases, decisions grow more and more short-sighted. The faster we move, the more likely we are to speak and act without thinking of long-term consequences.
Folly, the opposite of wisdom, can be defined as "a tragic lack of forethought." I assert that today's leaders, in all walks of life, are increasingly acting, speaking and making decisions with a short-term focus. This must change or the consequences will be painful.
The surest way to reverse this trend is by applying age-old wisdom to modern times. In all types of organizations, we must swiftly empower those are willing to choose renewable leadership. In short, it's high time we find wise leaders.
To assist with this, I offer twelve suggestions on how to identify wise leaders around you:
1. They align their actions with their ideals
Wise leaders let internal values rule their calendars, not external influences. They determine what matters most to them and then live each day accordingly. Wise leaders ask if each choice moves them "closer to" or "farther from" their objectives. This allows their daily decisions to drive them toward their noblest goals.
2. They take care, not advantage
Wise leaders don't extract value from others, they exchange value with them. They understand that the key to long term success in an era of empowerment is to intentionally facilitate the success of others. Much like a race track pit-crew chief, a wise leader's aim is to make others great.
3. They hunt down hope and hand it out
A hopeful voice is a flashlight in the fog. As a result, wise leaders proactively work to protect their team from despair. They find acorns and describe oak trees. The wise leader whispers possibility into willing ears and then smiles as it blossoms.
4. They model the kindness they hope to see in others
If leaders a're kind to their team members, they'll need fewer new ones. In an age of incivility, workers thirst for courtesy. Wise leaders know that kindness can transform chaos into collaboration and deliberate kindness from either side of a chasm can build a bridge between two sides.
5. They study their words before setting them free
Wise leaders know when to push their own mute button. They know the prudent often outlast the indignant. When tempers flare, they choose introspection. As a result, the wise leader neither insults when irritated nor pounces when provoked.
6. They prioritize what they "want most" over what they "want now"
Character is built by repeatedly choosing the best option over the easiest one. They have the foresight to exchange short-term buzz for long-term joy. Though they may show mercy to new mistakes, they always show recurring mistakes the door.
7. They defend principles, not territory
Wise leaders never discard friendship to save face. Instead, they patiently wait for battles that matter. The wise leader values the "strength to finish" more than the "minutes between mile markers."
8. They know when to reason and when to empathize
Sometimes a team needs a logical explanation and other times it needs emotional motivation. Wise leaders take time to read the room and then they respond in the most helpful manner.
9. They brave each issue before it escalates into an impasse
Victory often requires gracious honesty at pivotal moments. They understand that truthfulness and kindness are not antonyms, but that truth, when spoken with kindness…is a kindness.
10. They welcome any input that increases their effectiveness
Wise leaders study and avoid the errors of others. They are humble enough to listen and change. The wise leader would rather "Watch and Learn" than "Live and Learn."
11. They know that vocal appreciation bolsters motivation
In matters of motivation, wise leaders know that meaning is a new form of currency. Selfish leaders use intimidation, but they choose inspiration instead. The wise leader takes great care to recognize the deserving.
12. They nurture a culture of genuine customer concern
Wise leaders value current customers much more than prospective ones. They recognize that customer connection is an investment, not a cost. The wise leader knows that every customer comment carries meaning. As a result, wise leaders proactively capture concerns and use them to drive experience improvements.
I hope these attitudes clearly delineate the line between the foolish and the wise. It is time to find, anoint and appoint those who'll lead with an eye toward tomorrow.

@KnowledgeBishop@knowledgebishop Tristan, I'm digging #5. Our words create realities. The deeper we understand this the more thoughtful we become in using our words to enable and not disable people and undo progress.
Solid list, Tristan! I would add that wise leaders know how to help others become wise leaders.
All great, several brilliant, but my favorite? 7. They defend principles, not territory. If we lead with principles, the right choices will happen seemingly by themselves. I love it! You inspire me, my friend. Keep it up.
You forgot one: They have angel's wings, a halo, and shine like the sun. Now we're good...
I'd go back to work for someone if I could have THAT boss!
Tristan this post is one I want to print out and hang on the wall by my calendar. I love it! It's perfect and so appropriate as we all seek to learn how to lead from the heart #leadfromwithin, and for me as I try to advise clients who are start-ups and eager to lead well and develop the very best teams. I love all 12 @KnowledgeBishop -- especially, like @PegFitzpatrick #3 THEY HUNT DOWN HOPE AND HAND IT OUT!!! That is so key, every day in every way what we must do as leaders. Thanks, Tristan. this is invaluable advice to us all!
Excellent post, Tristan. Where to begin on what I enjoyed? I really like "Wise leaders know when to push their own mute button", and that is something that generally comes with experience/hard knocks. And I think vocal appreciation can remain sincere yet be consistently applied to make everybody feel better about themselves and strive to achieve more!
I also like defending principles vs territory. Even then, we need to ensure we are actually defending a principle and not our own pride.
Awesome and inspiring post! Servant leadership is critical.
Tristan, this is really a great one. Welcome to the 12 Most Leadership team!
What a great way to kick it off!
Great timely post after last nights LFW - your call to action for wise leaders is exactly what I try to do each and every day.
Thank you for your continued inspiration Tristan.
Latest blog post: Busy Executive? Become A Social Executive in 1 Hour A Day
Hello and welcome to the 12 Most Community Tristan - super happy to have you here!
Such a great post. I especially love this "A hopeful voice is a flashlight in the fog. As a result, wise leaders proactively work to protect their team from despair. They find acorns and describe oak trees. The wise leader whispers possibility into willing ears and then smiles as it blossoms." Hope is something that seems to be lacking in today's world of rushing from one activity to the next and ticking off the day's until the end of the week without enjoying the time and space that we are in at the moment.

@libbytalks Thanks Libby, I always wanted to be on a calendar (back in my "boyband singer" days anyhow).
Yea, @PegFitzpatrick is so right about the essential need for a daily dose of hope.
I appreciate your encouragement Libby. I'm glad these thoughts are helpful!
@dbvickery Thanks for your kind words! Yes, even when defending Pronciples, one must stay vigilant that wounded pride doesn't distort perspective. Hard to do, but well worth it! Grateful for for your input.
@BenWoelk Thanks so much, Ben. I appreciate it!
@Biebert It's an honor. Grateful for the chance to contribute!
@danielnewmanUV You are a stellar example of the principles in this post, sir! All of you at 12 Most live out these truths.
@PegFitzpatrick Thank you, Peggy. Hope is like oxygen or water. Without it, we can't live long. Wise leaders like you know to find and bring it! Delighted to be here with you all.
@PRbySweetTooth@danperezfilms Don't make me turn this car around! :)
@dbvickery And I can't fathom why my IPhone autocorrect wants to defend "Pronciples" - Sounds like a shrimp Popsicle. :)
That was very kind Tristan. We are thrilled to have you. :D

The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
A review of a Leicester Friends of the OCHS talk, given by Ramesh Pattni on 2 August 2014.
To an audience of approximately 60, Ramesh introduced his topic – The Three Faces of Vedanta:Shankaracharya, Madhavacharya, & Ramanujacharya – with a brief overview of the six systems of Indian philosophy, giving us a context into which Vedanta sits.
A talk by Ramesh Pattni of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
Vedanta, as one of the six orthodox systems of philosophy in Hinduism, has had a deep effect on Hindu thought for many centuries. It has been subject to a variety of interpretations of the three primary texts: the Brahmasutra, the major Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita. Although the common factor in all these interpretations is the acceptance of Vedic authority, the perspectives on reality, God, the individual, and the universe are quite diverse. In this talk we explore the lives and thoughts of the great Acharyas of Vedanta.
A talk by Dr Rembert Lutjeharms of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
The Upanisads are among the most influential Hindu sacred texts. Though often cryptic, they form the foundation of Vedantic discourse, and still influence the religious imagination of countless spiritual seekers, both traditional and modern. Its 'secret' teachings are often presented through the voices of Vedic teachers, and the roles these teachers play is central to these teachings.
Focusing on the stories found in these religious texts, this talk will explore the character of the Upanisadic gurus, the roles they
A talk by Anuradha Dooney of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
Despite global recession India edges closer to being one of our wealthiest nations, yet the face of poverty also continues to portray India to the world. In a country of economic and social contradictions it is easy to play one off against the other. But wealth and India are not new bedfellows, either materially or spiritually. In this talk Anuradha Dooney asks if wealth is generated by hard work or by destiny? How can debt be a blessing and not a curse? Who decides what is valuable?
A talk by Gopal Patel of the OCHS Bhumi Project
In 2009 the OCHS launched the Bhumi Project, an international initiative to encourage Hindus to address environmental concerns, including climate change. Since then the Project has developed partnerships with interested parties in Africa, Europe, the US, and India. Initiatives include the Green Temple programme, which was launched at the White House in 2011, and the Green Pilgrimage Network – an effort to make pilgrim sites across India environmentally friendly.
Mr. Pramod Thakkar will be retiring from the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Board of Governors. Mr. Thakkar has been on the Board since June 2007, during which time he has provided a wealth of expertise and advice to the Centre.
Mr. Thakkar was instrumental in establishing a relationship between the OCHS and the Jalaram Mandir of Leicester. From sponsorship of OCHS programmes at the temple, and educational activities held on temple premises, the partnership naturally contributed to the development of a Friends of the OCHS organisation in Leicester.
Yoga has become a multi-billion dollar commodity with over 30 million people in the US alone practising one form or another of Yoga. Where did all these forms arise from and are they traceable to earlier scriptures? What does Patanjali's have to say about what has come to be known as the Classical text of Yoga called the Yogasutra? We look at Patanjali's text in detail and trace some of the developments in Yoga philosophy and practice from ancient times.
A talk by Shaunaka Rishi Das of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
In modern, secular society Hinduism is sometimes regarded as backward looking and the source of conflict and communalism. On this view, as scientific knowledge and technology develop, Hinduism will fade into the past and people will leave behind a superstitious phase of their development. Yet in spite of this assumption Hindu culture continues to exert force in the contemporary world.
The word yatra usually refers to treks to holy cities – in India. In Leicester, however, the Friends of the OCHS take a different approach to this ancient religious practice.
On Sunday 16 March, the Friends will conduct their annual Holi Yatra. On the auspicious day of Holi, this sponsored walk will start at 8:30 am (registration starts at 8:00), taking participants on a 13 mile walk to visit the following 12 temples:

Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jason24 Overall a great choice I was first drawn by the teal color and the compass logo which really pops in contrast and is three-dimensional. New Era does a great job with attention to detail in the cap design and fit. I have gotten similar hats in M/L, but ordered this one in L/XL and was concerned it might look too big. Not so and it is nice to know the sizes have some wide-ranging fit. I love the mesh fabric which breathes well and is comfortable in all types of weather. The brim shapes well and the crown is not too high. It is overall a great choice whether you are a hard-core Mariners fan, or just an all-around baseball fan like me. September 8, 2015

tUnE-yArDs at the Ready Room stole the attendance award on Thursday night in St. Louis. As the Demo's neighbor nabbed heads for Merrill Garbus' looped avant-pop recital, Wampire stared down a mellow gathering of perhaps 25 fans. It's worth noting that October 7, 2014 was the release date for Wampire's sophomore effort "Bazaar." Few in that room, save for the band, seemed to be aware.
A line of 50 people stood before the entrance of the Firebird some time around 8:30 p.m. Steeped in the well-known buzz of "stoked," they chatted amicably amongst themselves and fellow waiters.

Marathon training means so many different things to me. After having run six marathons I'm still discovering what it is all about.
I know that it is slow and steady long runs, fast tempo workouts and steep hills. It's endurance, power and speed. It's diet, nutrition and hydration.
But it is more...
It's peaceful runs out in the beauty of nature. It's running for the sheer joy of running. It's training not only your body but also your mind. It's the feeling of accomplishment, passion and discovery.
It's meeting new people and making new friends, it's anxious pre-race nights and thrilling early mornings.
It's blisters and sores, it's old shoes and new. It's starting lines and finish lines and everything in between.
It's the difference between feeling good and feeling that we need to do something. It's being able to eat that fifth chocolate chip cookie.
It's bringing out the best in yourself so that you can give others your best.
It's fun, it's exhausting, it's complicated, it's exciting.
It's hard but it is worth every ounce of effort.
The pride, the achievement, the sense of accomplishment after completing a marathon more than makes up for all those weeks of training and sacrifice that you put under those beloved running shoes.
It's something that only you can define and that might even begin to define you.
That is the marathon, that is running....that and so much more!
To put it simply, it's the movement of your skeletal muscles back and forth for the duration of 26.2 miles. But then again, is it really? I think it runs (excuse the pun) much deeper.
And so I ask, "What does it mean to you?".
How do you get there? How do you get to the finish line of a marathon? How do you run and train your body for 26.2 miles?
In these pages you can find and learn all about the "how to":
...and just about everything you need to step across that finish line.
This isn't just for marathoner's though. We have tons of stuff for the newbie, the 10K trainee, and the half marathoner!
Trust me, you won't regret your decision to run a marathon whether its your first or one hundreth. If you put in the time and the effort you will reap the rewards and prove to yourself that you can do anything.
But while we are on the topic, "Why trust me?".
Running has truly shaped who I am. I started running marathons when I was in 9th grade. The joy, the serenity, and the passion that it gave me has everything to do with who I am now. No, I'm not saying I'm some wonderfully, perfect person (ask my husband, *wink), but I can honestly say that I am happier with running in my life. (Again, ask my husband.)
With multiple races and marathons under my belt, I could not stop at the finish line and so earned a degree in Kinesiology (Sneezy, what?!) with a focus in Exercise Science (does that help? :-)).
I love, love, love the sport and the fantastic group of people that it draws. So say hi and stick around, which I know can't be forever since we all have some running to do!
Remember that as Benjamin Franklin said, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail".Commit yourself to your running and the marathon and use his adage in a positive light, "Successfully preparing is preparing for success."
You will succeed if you train properly. And in doing so you will find an incredible outlet that you can enjoy for many years to come.
You won't be able to help that running really brings out the best that you have to offer.
So lace up your running shoes, hit the road and discover or keep discovering the joys of running and marathon training!
It's time to run!

Progressive critic Dr. Roberto Rodriguez has a new commentary (New America Media, 6/2/09) demonstrating how the miserable press reaction to Judge Sonia Sotomayor's U.S. Supreme Court "nomination clearly shows us is that what this nation needs is more incisive journalism, not less." But, Rodriguez laments, "to be sure, the rise of right-wing media, which include Fox News and virtually all the known right-wing radio talkshow hosts, is the antithesis of journalism":
Their coverage of the Sotomayor nomination points to the need for honest debate, not simply on the issues of race, but on the right wing's aversion to truth. It also points to the right wing's pompous beliefs, on every topic, including affirmative action, that their positions are "American."
Extremist politicos Newt Gingrich and Tom Tancredo, both of whom have zero credibility but are stars of right-wing media, have led the charge that Sotomayor is a racist. They have been joined by the usual wingnuts: Rush Limbaugh, Gordon Liddy, Glenn Beck, Pat Buchanan, Lou Dobbs, to name a few. Even Juan Williams of NPR, has parroted the claim that Sotomayor's (out-of-context) statements are racist. The fact that the nationâ┚¬Ã¢"ž¢s discussion centers on whether she is a racist or not–or that she is an "affirmative action" pick (Buchanan)–points to both the power of the wingnuts and also to the virtual impotence, or complicity, of mainstream media.
While "these pundits who daily rant against 'illegal aliens,' and who daily clamor on the need to fortify the U.S.-Mexico border, are quoted as credible sources by the mainstream press," Rodriguez remains hopeful that "the majority of Americans can see through the false arguments…by these so-called patriots." Yet "this does not hold true for the mainstream media. As we are seeing with Sotomayor, all it takes is a handful of 'extremists' to control and shape the media debate."
