I closed on my house there (east cobb/Marietta) 2 months ago but have not moved down yet. This put me in a position to need lawn service. I called and requested estimates from close to 10 companies. 7 out of 10 provided quotes, most within 2 days some within 5 days. 2 days was the earliest quote I got. Lame if you ask me. I can do better than that.
In addition, the lowest quote I got out of all of them was $50 per cut, trim, blow, edge. I was shocked, this would be a $35-$38 lawn where I am from. the $50 was from one guy, most of them were in the $65 range with one guy wanting $75. Maybe you can clue me in on why the prices are much higher there? By the way, Im not complaining Im loving the higher pricing for when I get down there.
I know Ive got a lot to learn.down there. You didnt answer my question, buy a small biz or spend on advertising?

Arland D. Williams, Jr.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2009)
|Arland Dean Williams, Jr.
September 23, 1935
Mattoon, Illinois
|January 13, 1982
(aged 46)
Washington, D.C.
|Alma mater
|The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina
|Known for
|Hero of Air Florida Flight 90
|United States Coast Guard's Gold Lifesaving Medal
Arland Dean Williams Jr. (September 23, 1935 – January 13, 1982) was a passenger aboard Air Florida Flight 90, which crashed on take-off in Washington, D.C., on January 13, 1982, killing 78 people. One of six people to initially survive the crash, he helped the other five escape the sinking plane before succumbing to his injuries.
A clergyman[who?] later said His heroism was not rash. Aware that his own strength was fading, he deliberately handed hope to someone else, and he did so repeatedly. On that cold and tragic day, Arland D. Williams Jr. exemplified one of the best attributes of human nature, specifically that some people are capable of doing anything for total strangers.[citation needed]
The 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River at the crash site was renamed in his honor.
Personal background[edit]
Williams grew up in Illinois and graduated from high school in Mattoon, where he acquired the nickname "Chub."[1] He subsequently attended The Citadel in South Carolina.[1] According to his high school girlfriend, Williams had been nervous about The Citadel's swimming requirement, as he had always had a fear of water.[1] After graduation he served two years in the military in a stateside post and then went into banking, eventually becoming a bank examiner.[1]
Air Florida Flight 90[edit]
On January 13, 1982, during an extraordinary period of freezing weather, Air Florida Flight 90 took off from nearby Washington National Airport, failed to gain altitude, and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge, where it hit six cars and a truck on the bridge, killing four motorists.
After the crash on the bridge, the plane then continued forward and plunged into the freezing Potomac River. Soon only the tail section which had broken off remained afloat. Only six of the airliner's 79 occupants (74 passengers and 5 crew members) survived the initial crash and were able to escape the sinking plane in the middle of the ice-choked river.
After the crash[edit]
News cameramen watched from the bridge, recording the unfolding disaster. There appeared to be no way to reach the survivors in the water. Bystanders helped as fellow passerby Roger Olian, with a makeshift rope, began an attempt to rescue them. At about 4:20 p.m. EST, Eagle 1, a United States Park Police helicopter based at Anacostia Park in Washington, D.C., and manned by pilot Donald W. Usher and paramedic Melvin E. (Gene) Windsor, arrived and assisted with the rescue operation. At one point in the operation the helicopter's skids dipped beneath the surface of the icy water.
According to the other five survivors, one passenger continued to help the others reach the rescue ropes being dropped by the hovering helicopter, repeatedly passing the line to others instead of using it himself. While the other five were being taken to shore by the helicopter, the tail section of the wrecked Boeing 737 shifted and sank further into the water, dragging Williams under the water with it.
The next day, the Washington Post described his heroism:
|He was about 50 years old, one of half a dozen survivors clinging to twisted wreckage bobbing in the icy Potomac when the first helicopter arrived. To the copter's two-man Park Police crew he seemed the most alert. Life vests were dropped, then a flotation ball. The man passed them to the others. On two occasions, the crew recalled last night, he handed away a life line from the hovering machine that could have dragged him to safety. The helicopter crew – who rescued five people, the only persons who survived from the jetliner – lifted a woman to the riverbank, then dragged three more persons across the ice to safety. Then the life line saved a woman who was trying to swim away from the sinking wreckage, and the helicopter pilot, Donald W. Usher, returned to the scene, but the man was gone.
— "A Hero – Passenger Aids Others, Then Dies", The Washington Post, January 14, 1982.
An essay in Time Magazine dated January 25, 1982, was written before the identity of Williams was known. Roger Rosenblatt, the essay's author, wrote:
|So the man in the water had his own natural powers. He could not make ice storms, or freeze the water until it froze the blood. But he could hand life over to a stranger, and that is a power of nature too. The man in the water pitted himself against an implacable, impersonal enemy; he fought it with charity; and he held it to a standoff. He was the best we can do.
— Rosenblatt, R., "The Man in the Water," Time Magazine, January 25, 1982.[2]
Honors, memoriam[edit]
The four other members of the Air Florida rescue who also risked their lives but survived were honored shortly after the disaster.
It took some time to investigate and establish without any doubt Williams' identity and actions. On June 6, 1983, Williams was posthumously awarded the United States Coast Guard's Gold Lifesaving Medal in a White House Oval Office presentation to his family by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth H. Dole. Mrs. Virginia Williams accepted the medal on her son's behalf. Other participants in the ceremony included the recipient's father, Arland, his children, Arland III and Leslie Ann, and his sister, Jean Fullmer. Also present were Vice Admiral Benedict L. Stabile, Vice Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, Senator Charles H. Percy and Representative Daniel B. Crane of Illinois.
On April 1, 1984, Flight 90: Disaster on the Potomac 1984 TV Docudrama is retold of Flight 90 and heroism of Arland Williams Jr. Donnelly Rhodes plays as Williams.
The repaired 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River at the crash site, which had been officially named the "Rochambeau Bridge," was renamed the "Arland D. Williams Jr. Memorial Bridge" in his honor by the city government of the District of Columbia in 1983.
On May 15, 1993, former U.S. President Ronald Reagan retold the story of Arland D. Williams Jr. and paid tribute to him during a commencement address at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.[3]
In 2000, The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina — and Williams' alma mater (Class of 1957) — created the Arland D. Williams Society to recognize graduates who distinguished themselves through community service. The Citadel also established the Arland D. Williams Endowed Professorship of Heroism in his honor.
In August 2003, the new Arland D. Williams Jr. Elementary School in his hometown of Mattoon, Illinois, was dedicated.
Pop singer Sara Hickman's song "Last Man in the Water" [4] is a tribute to Williams.

Report: Collison Deal Worth Roughly $11M
According to a report by ESPN.com late Tuesday night, Thunder forward Nick Collison's four-year contract extension is worth slightly more than $11 million.
The Web site reported that Collison's deal is a carefully- and creatively-constructed, front-loaded contract that will pay the eight-year veteran more than half of his money in the remainder of this season.
With the Thunder still more than $6.5 million beneath the $58 million salary cap, the organization was allowed to offer Collison a signing bonus of that amount to cover most of the deal. When Collison's new deal kicks in during the 2011-12 season, however, his salary will decrease to just over $3.3 million, according to the report, and falling to $2.2 million in 2014-15, the final year of the deal.
The uniquely constructed deal is expected to allow the Thunder to retain a key veteran glue guy while also maintaining maximum financial flexibility to keep its younger players, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, James Harden and Serge Ibaka, together once their future extensions kick in.
"(Thunder GM) Sam (Presti) came to me with an opportunity to maybe get something done," Collison said following Tuesday's practice. "We worked on it and got to a deal we thought was good for both parties. I think we're both happy with it."

Feb 20 Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn Knoxville, TN Sure, in the abstract, a banjo duo might seem like a musical concept beset by limitations. But when the banjo players cast in those roles are Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck—she with the earthy sophistication of a postmodern, old-time singer-songwriter, he with the virtuosic, jazz-to-classical ingenuity of an iconic instrumentalist and composer with bluegrass roots— it's a different matter entirely. There's no denying that theirs is a one-of-a-kind pairing, with one-of-a-kind possibilities. Fleck and Washburn have collaborated in the past, most visibly in their Sparrow Quartet with Casey Driessen and Ben Sollee. Until last fall, though, any performances they gave as a two-piece were decidedly informal, a pickin' party here, a benefit show at Washburn's grandmother's Unitarian church there. It was inevitable and eagerly anticipated by fans of tradition-tweaking acoustic fare that these partners in music and life (who married in 2009) would eventually do a full-fledged project together. Now that Fleck, a fifteen-time GRAMMY winner, has devoted time away from his standard-setting ensemble Béla Fleck and the Flecktones to a staggeringly broad array of musical experiments, from writing a concerto for the Nashville Symphony to exploring the banjo's African roots to jazz duos with Chick Corea, while Washburn has drawn critical acclaim for her solo albums, done fascinating work in folk musical diplomacy in China, presented an original theatrical production, contributed to singular side groups Uncle Earl and The Wu-Force and become quite a live draw in her own right, the two of them decided they were ready to craft their debut album as a duo, Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn (releasing October 7 on Rounder Records).There was one other small, yet not at all insignificant factor in the timing: the birth of their son Juno. Says Fleck, "I come from a broken home, and I have a lot of musician friends who missed their kids' childhoods because they were touring. The combination of those two things really made me not want to be one of those parents. I don't want to be somebody that Juno sees only once in a while. We need to be together, and this is a way we can be together a whole lot more." learn more

National Pan-Hellenic Council
NPHC Convocation Spring 2015
January 21, 2015, 7:00 pm
Guest Speaker: Eddie Francis
GUC Performance Center
Business attire is required
The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated (NPHC) is currently composed of nine (9) International Greek letter Sororities and Fraternities: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions.
On May 10, 1930, on the campus of Howard University, in Washington DC, the National Pan-Hellenic Council was formed as a permanent organization with the following charter members: Omega Psi Phi and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternities, and Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta and Zeta Phi Beta Sororities. In 1931, Alpha Phi Alpha and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternities joined the Council. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority joined in 1937 and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity completed the list of member organizations in 1997.
The stated purpose and mission of the organization in 1930 was "Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations." Early in 1937, the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and became known as "The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated."
The NPHC chapters on UNA's campus have a history of almost three decades and seek to continue the traditions of excellence and involvement with campus life.

Scientists working in embryology have long clamored for the complete freedom to create, manipulate and destroy embryos as they see fit. On top of this clamor, they demand a blank check from the government in pursuit of this research and are indignant at any restrictions. The British government recently considered a ban on the creation of cybrids, but quickly "retreated after a revolt by scientists."
The scientists hold out the promise of "cures" for diseases and disabilities in order to circumvent ethical concerns. These supposed future cures are the carrots with which the scientific community is manipulating the politicians.
Sadly, the truth about these ghoulish practices is usually buried under complex scientific verbiage and ambiguous promises. Professor Neil Scolding of Bristol University, a Catholic researcher into stem cells, stated that the practical prospect of human and animal DNA working in harmony and producing a useful organism is "a big ask".
Professor Scolding also refers to the new, more successful developments in adult stem cell research as an approach which could hold great cures while also avoiding the ethical problems of "cybrids" and embryonic stem cell research. He comments that these promising adult stem cell developments make it "all the more inexplicable why a small minority of UK stem cell scientists wants to pursue the extraordinarily complex and frankly speculative hybrid approach."
Unfortunately, the British Commons has completely acquiesced to the limitless pursuit of embryological science. Instead of seeking to ban this practice, they have proposed a "Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill" which would give an official stamp of approval on the manufacture of cybrids.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien, Archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, responded effectively to the idea that morality and restraint should be sacrificed on the altar of "cures". He said, "It is worth remembering that France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Australia have all banned the grotesque procedures we seek to legalise. Could it be that the citizens and politicians of those countries care nothing for the chronically ill among them? Perhaps they don't want to develop cures for therapies; perhaps they are simply anti-scientific luddites! Or could it be that we are wrong and these democracies see no reason to attack the sanctity and dignity of human life when many alternatives exist?"
The Cardinal is right to sound the alarm. Human dignity will be lost completely if mankind does not act to create ethical boundaries for scientific investigation. Respect for human life must be the pole star that guides science and technology. The foundation of human dignity is that human beings are created in the image of God. If we lose sight of that fact, all humanity will suffer and radical science will become one of the chief instruments that produces that suffering.

On the Fox News special Saving Our Economy, Bret Baier repeated or failed to challenge numerous false assertions about the role of affordable housing initiatives in the financial crisis and Democratic responses to the crisis.
In a blog post, Jay Carney claimed that Sen. John McCain's "campaign has released a 60-second ad that uses Bill Clinton's words to pin the blame for the mortgage crisis on Democrats" without noting that in the interview clipped in the ad, Clinton actually said that "the biggest mistake" was the SEC's repealing of a regulation on short selling, when President Bush was in office.
Several conservatives in the media have recently blamed the Community Reinvestment Act for the current financial crisis -- when, in fact, the CRA does not apply to institutions making the vast majority of troubled loans underlying the crisis. It applies only to depository institutions, such as banks and savings and loan associations. Experts have estimated that 80 percent of high-priced subprime loans were offered by financial institutions that are not subject to the CRA.
In a column, Bill O'Reilly falsely claimed that Rep. Barney Frank "sat by as mortgage brokers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made bad loans." Also, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace did not challenge a similar claim by Sen. Jon Kyl that efforts by the Bush Administration and Republicans in Congress to regulate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae "were stopped at every turn by Democrats." In fact, more than a year ago, Frank sponsored a bill to create the Federal Housing Finance Agency, granting that agency "general supervisory and regulatory authority over" Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and directing it to reform the two companies' business practices and regulate their exposure to credit and market risk.
Fox News' Stuart Varney misrepresented the cost of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, falsely asserting that the "House, right now, [is] voting on that $300 billion housing bailout bill." During the segment, on-air captions read "$300B Bailout Bill," and "House Voting On $300B Housing Bailout Bill." In fact, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill "would increase budget deficits (or reduce future surpluses) by about $24.9 billion over the 2008-2018 period."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer made the misleading assertion that "the House of Representatives just passed a $300 billion plan to help struggling homeowners." In fact, while the bill to which Blitzer referred would authorize the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in homeownership retention loans for qualified homeowners, the Congressional Budget Office estimated a total cost of $2.7 billion for the program.
Fox News' Neil Cavuto misrepresented the projected cost of a federal "housing rescue package" by saying it was going to cost "300 billion bucks," while an on-air graphic read, "House lawmakers set to pass $300B housing bill; bailout?" In fact, while the legislation would authorize the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in homeownership retention loans, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the program would cost the government $2.7 billion between 2008-2013.
Responding to an ad by John McCain's campaign, which asserts that in response to "home foreclosures mounting, markets teetering," "[Hillary] Clinton and Barack Obama just said they'd solve the problem by raising your taxes -- more money out of your pocket," Joe Scarborough said the ad would "probably work." But Scarborough didn't note that the ad's central claim is false: Neither Clinton nor Obama has asserted that she or he would respond to "home foreclosures rising" by raising taxes.
On Fox News' The Live Desk, Martha MacCallum, discussing with correspondent Major Garrett a report about Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Maggie Williams, stated that Williams "sat on the board of one of the nation's once-largest and now bankrupt mortgage lenders, Delta Financial." However, neither Garrett nor MacCallum mentioned Sen. John McCain's reported ties to the mortgage industry.
A link on BillOReilly.com, the website of Fox News and conservative radio talk-show host Bill O'Reilly, was titled "Those weren't veterans John Edwards, they were sex offenders," and linked to an Associated Press article about Florida's efforts "to dissolve a community of sex offenders living under a bridge." Media Matters for America has documented the back-and-forth between O'Reilly and former Sen. John Edwards over homelessness and homeless veterans.
On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity stated that "The Wall Street Journal reported that John Edwards had invested in and worked for a company that is foreclosing on residents of New Orleans," adding: "The Edwards campaign has since announced that the senator will divest from the company." However, Hannity did not note that the Journal also reported that Edwards "pledged that he would personally provide financial assistance to New Orleanians who are facing foreclosure by [the company] or have lost their homes already."

[Question]Water Flow To Direct Bottom Waste
I've seen in various comments that people point their flow in a certain direction to collect bottom tank waste in a dead spot for easy siphoning.
If anyone has that setup would you elaborate on how it's done please? (Also do any conflicts occur with other filters/sump because of that flow?)
(Just googling aquarium water flow, types of water flow, aquarium eddy, bottom water flow, etc doesn't turn up anything too usable for me)
If possible could you include drawings/pictures? Helps with visualizing~~
My view is that this can work in bare-bottom tanks but should not be attempted otherwise. The substrate should naturally collect organic waste which the various bacteria [and we are talking bacteria other than the nitrifying species here] can break down. This is explained in more detail here:
This allows for a natural biologically-balanced aquarium.
Another problem with a filter flow that is strong enough to achieve what you suggest is that this is not tolerable by most fish, at least not on a long-term basis.

Don't Get It Twisted
J. Cole brought T-Boz and Chilli from TLC on board for his latest single "Crooked Smile." The BET Experience performer decided to show people everywhere that everyone is perfectly imperfect and with lyrics like these, he'll definitely help someone feel better about who they really are.
"A perfect smile is more appealing, but it's funny how/ My sh-- is crooked, look at how far I done got without it/ I keep my twisted grill, just to show the kids it's real/ We ain't picture perfect, but we worth the picture still."

A preview of new German and Austrian restaurants
2400 Polk Street (at Union)
Sunday-Thursday, 5:30-10pm, until midnight Fri-Sat.
GAUMENKITZEL, meaning 'delight for the taste buds', opens later this week (if all goes as planned) in an open, sunny space on San Pablo Ave. in Berkeley. Owner Anja Voth brings restaurant and patisserie experience from Hamburg and Berlin. Her husband Kai Flache constructed and designed the restaurant with his local firm. They operate as a gracious, complimentary team.
A rustic wood ceiling, huge windows and skylight illuminate the yellows, whites, reds and oranges of the clean, modern room. A spare collection of German china and ceramic dolls line the shelves, adding a homey touch. While the main portion of the room is eat-in, one can order take-out or baked goods. A section to the left of the entrance offers stools and countertops for a quick meal.
A pastry chef bakes fresh breads and pastries in-house, including a delicate Linzer torte with red currant jam. Anja operates as chef with assistance from a chef who worked 15 years at Oakland's now-defunct Citron. I stopped in for a preview lunch, savoring baked goods, beet salad, an addictive caramel custard, and beef roulade with braised red cabbage and creamy mashed potatoes. The beef roulade is Anja's mother's recipe, rolled up with pickles and onions, while red cabbage is equal parts apple with a tart, spiced kick.
A breakfast menu lasts all morning with items like German porridge, house-baked rolls, cold cuts, müsli. There's afternoon tea (2-4:30pm), while lunch and supper entrees cover the gamut from salmon with rhubarb compote to wild mushrooms with spaetzle. They also make their own seasonal jams, like a pleasantly tart/bitter Meyer lemon marmalade I sampled. Menu prices had not yet been finalized on the menus I previewed, but it will be affordable, mid-range.
The joy here is dishes with a predominantly North German focus, a rarity as local offerings are typically of the South German kind. Influences from Anja and Kai's port city hometown of Hamburg are showcased, like curry (poached fish with curry sauce) and fresh fish (from Monterey Fish Market). Expect authentic German, reliant on local and seasonal ingredients, prepared with care from a couple involved in every aspect of the place.

Another loss for the Sox as they continue their win a few/lose a few pattern of the past month. Inconsistent starting pitching has been a large part of the problem and that was the case last night as Tim Wakefield surrendered a couple three run home runs in the sixth inning to the Major League leading White Sox and the Sox fell 8-4. The Boston Globe
Archives for July 2005
Battle of the Sox
Out in Chicago, the first place Red Sox battled the first place White Sox in a back and forth contest that was tied in the ninth inning. Chicago pitcher Luis Vizcaino got Manny Ramirez to pop up in foul territory for the second out of the inning…but third baseman Joe Crede (who had been the hero for Chicago the inning before as his double tied the game off of Curt Schilling.)dropped the ball, giving Manny new life.
You could've guessed what happened next, as Ramirez crushed the next pitch 415 feet for the go-ahead home run. Jerry Remy on NESN had some very astute analysis on the Ramirez during that at-bat. He showed how Vizcaino busted Manny inside on the first pitch, and how Manny was looking for and adjusted to that pitched, by moving out in the batter's box. The pitch he hit out was in the same location as the first, but Manny was further off the plate, so it was as if the pitch was right down the middle. Steven Krasner says that Manny showed why he is paid $20 million a year with that sequence. Michael Silverman observes that the Red Sox saved their best for last in this one. Chris Snow writes that this win felt as important as any this season. Paul Doyle reports on Curt Schilling getting the win in relief after Ramirez's heroics. David Borges recaps the key plays of a back and forth contest in Chicago.
Gordon Edes looks at Chicago's Joe Crede, who went from hero to goat in the span of an inning last night. Tony Massarotti writes that the White Sox may not "have the insides to win when it matters". A curious statement after one game of four. Kevin Henkin writes that is time for Millar to take a seat. Joe McDonald looks at Dustin Pedroia's wrist injury slowing his ascent to the Majors. Silverman looks at Mark Bellhorn, seeking a fresh start after his injury. Edes writes that trades can often appear out of nowhere, as he looks at the rumors now circulating, and compares them to the rumors last summer and the trades that actually went down at that time. Massarotti has a look at the job Ozzie Guillen is doing as manager of the White Sox.
Snow's notebook looks at Manny taking some ribbing from his teammates because of his sore hamstrings. Borges' notebook looks at the battle Mark Bellhorn faces when he returns from his injury, not only to get his spot back, but perhaps even to stay on the roster. Krasner's notebook has Bellhorn hoping that the time away will help his struggles at the plate. Doyle's notebook examines the trade rumors involving Kevin Millar, Bill Mueller and the Minnesota Twins. Silverman's notebook has Millar shrugging off the trade rumors. Snow also cranks out a minor league notebook, with a look at Hanley Ramirez playing at second base, (not moving to second) and updates on Pedroia, Manny Delcarmen and Kelly Shoppach.
Bob Hohler has a feature on former Massachusetts schoolboy baseball player Joe Apotheker making accusations about steroid use on his Division II Barry University baseball team.
Kevin Paul Dupont and Stephen Harris look at the NHL players finally approving the new CBA. Nancy Marrapese-Burrell reports that the owners vote is due up next. Mick Colageo says that the NHL's future is still cloudy in many ways. Harris looks at the Bruins slim shot at getting the number draft pick in the league lottery being held this afternoon. Coverage of the lottery, as well as of the league press conference and Bruins press conference will all be aired on NESN, starting at 3:00 this afternoon.
Michael Felger continues his training camp positional previews, today looking at the defensive line, a position that is loaded for the Patriots – with or without Richard Seymour. Nick Cafardo reports that Tedy Bruschi never sought medical clearance to play this season, and that he will likely be placed on the PUP list, and in the meantime will likely have some input into coaching the linebackers. Felger has a second article noting that the Patriots have a lot more to replace than just tackles and sacks when it comes to Bruschi's absence this season. Jessica Heslam in the MetroWest Daily News talks to a Doctor who still has a hard time believing that Bruschi will ever play football again.
Bill Griffith looks at Comcast perhaps stepping in to fill the NHL cable void. John Howell looks at OLN enjoying their last chance to cover Lance Armstrong in the Tour De France, and also talks to Chris Collins about his "90%" report from earlier this week. Dave Doyle discusses 10 things he'd like to see disappear from sports and sports media. David Scott vents from the Vineyard in today's edition of Scott's Shots.
The New York Sports News is filled this morning with reports of the Yankees losing to the Angels, the new NHL labor deal, Larry Brown/Knicks rumors and at least one story on Chad Pennington and his recovering shoulder.
UPN38 has Red Sox/White Sox at 8:00. NESN has the NHL Press conferences and Draft Lottery starting at 3:00.
07.21.05 Afternoon
Eric McHugh says that we should not write off Tedy Bruschi for next season. He looks at Bruschi's passion for the game how it drives him to compete and always be proving himself. Glen Farley writes that the announcement yesterday put an end to months of speculation. Tom King has a very good, complete article on Bruschi's situation and decision and the impact it will have. Mike Lowe looks at how in so many ways Bruschi is the face of the New England Patriots. David Pevear rounds out the reports on Bruschi's decision. McHugh examines the options available to the Patriots as they attempt to fill the void left by #54.
More on the Red Sox, Mike Fine looks at the Red Sox drubbing the Devil Rays and then heading out on the road to face the best team in baseball, record wise. Bob Stern looks at the Red Sox once again providing David Wells with plenty of run support in yesterday's win. Alan Greenwood says that Tony Graffanino could see plenty of time in the Red Sox infield for the rest of the season. Chaz Scoggins looks at Gabe Kapler struggling in his second game with Lowell.
Jim Baker talks with former Bruins announcer Dave Shea, who is enjoying his new gig as announcer for the first place Washington Nationals.
This morning, to lead off the show, John Dennis told us all what sports radio is all about:
Alright let me see if I can explain something to you, with all due respect, let me explain something to you Bruschi, and then I

[ v47 p332 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
47 FLRA No. 25
April 2, 1993
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This case is before the Authority on a negotiability appeal filed by the Union under section 7105(a)(2)(D) and (E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and concerns the negotiability of four proposals submitted in response to the Agency's proposed revision of its merit promotion regulation.(*)
Proposal 2 would allow a technician who is appointed to a civilian position and who has a higher military rank than his or her civilian supervisor (a situation known as "military grade inversion") to retain his or her military rank for up to 3 years after the appointment. Proposal 3 provides that unit employees who have a higher military rank than their newly-hired supervisors will not be adversely affected because of the military grade inversion. Proposal 4 provides an exception to the prohibition on military grade inversion for civilian technicians who are currently in positions where they are of higher military rank than their supervisors. Proposal 5 would require the Agency to document reductions in military rank in the technician's military file and to indicate in that file that the reduction resulted from grade inversion and not from disciplinary action.
We find that Proposals 2-5 are nonnegotiable because they concern the military aspects of technician employment and do not concern conditions of employment within the meaning of the Statute.
II. Preliminary Matter
The Agency contends that the Union's petition should be dismissed because it was untimely filed. The Agency asserts that the Union did not file the petition with the Authority within the appropriate time frame after the "Agency's allegation of nonnegotiability was issued" on August 12, 1992. Statement at 1. The Union contends that the petition was timely filed in accordance with sections 2424.3 and 2429.21(b) of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union asserts that the Agency's allegation of nonnegotiability, "while dated August 12, 1992," was "hand[-]delivered" to the Union on August 17, 1992. Response at 1. The Union contends, therefore, that the petition, which was filed with the Authority on September 1, 1992, was timely filed in accordance with the Authority's Rules and Regulations.
Under section 7117(c)(2) of the Statute and section 2424.3 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations, the time limit for filing a petition for review of a negotiability issue is 15 days after service on the Union of the Agency's allegation of nonnegotiability. In this case, although the Agency asserts that it issued its allegation on April 12, 1992, the Agency provides no evidence as to how or when it served the Union with the allegation of nonnegotiability. The Union asserts that the Agency's allegation was served by hand delivery, and the Union's petition contains a copy of the Agency's allegation of nonnegotiability which indicates that this document was received by the Union on August 17, 1992. See Petition at 2-3, Attachment D. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude, based on the record, that the Agency's allegation of nonnegotiability was served by hand delivery on the Union on August 17, 1992. Therefore, under the Authority's Rules and Regulations, the Union's petition had to be filed by September 1, 1992. The Union's petition was filed on September 1, 1992, and, consequently, was timely filed in accordance with the Authority's Rules and Regulations.
III. Proposals 2-5
Proposal 2
When a technician is appointed to a position he or she has applied for and consequently is senior militarily to the supervisor, the appointed employee will be given an opportunity not to exceed 3 years to become junior to the affected supervisor.
Proposal 3
If a supervisor is hired and is junior militarily to any subordinates, it will not adversely affect those employees.
Proposal 4
This does not apply to any positions (grade inversions) already in [e]ffect.
Proposal 5
If any military reductions take place due to rank inversion, [they] will be documented in the affected employee[']s military and technician 201 file that the reduction was for technician employment purposes and was not a result of any disciplinary action. The documentation will be signed by TAG [the Adjutant General], and will not be a factor for any retention board.
A. Positions of the Parties
1. Agency
The Agency asserts that Proposals 2-5 "are directly related to military policy and priorities" and, therefore, "are not conditions of employment" under the Statute. Statement at 3.
The Agency contends that: (1) Proposal 2 allows a subordinate technician to keep his or her higher military grade for 3 years; (2) Proposal 3 "ensures that the hiring of a supervisor who is of lesser military grade will not affect his or her subordinates"; (3) Proposal 4 "grandfather[s] individuals who are of higher military grade than their supervisors"; and (4) Proposal 5 "document[s] military grade inversion reductions in the employee[']s military (201) personnel file[.]" Id. at 2. The Agency asserts that the proposals relate to military grade inversion and that, under Authority precedent, military grade inversion is a military aspect of technician employment which is nonnegotiable because it does not concern conditions of employment within the meaning of the Statute.
According to the Agency, military grade inversion is prohibited by section 7-10.c. of National Guard Technician Personnel Regulation (TPR) 300-302.7, which states that "[s]ituations of inversion of military rank are not permitted; i.e., a military technician may not be militarily senior to his or her full-time supervisor." TPR 300-302.7, section 7-10.c. The Agency states that military grade inversion is prohibited because "all military technicians must be military members of the National Guard and wear the military uniform according to military standards." Statement at 1. The Agency asserts that this policy "ensures that conflict does not arise in either the technician or military [workplace] because a subordinate is of higher military rank than his or her supervisors[.]" Id. The Agency further asserts that military grade inversion would result in a civilian technician supervisor giving direction to a subordinate who has a higher military grade than the supervisor.
The Agency states that its mission is two-fold: (1) to support the active military services when needed; and (2) to assist in the event of state disasters. The Agency contends that to allow military grade inversion would interfere with mission accomplishments by creating military rank status conflicts between employees and their supervisors, thereby interfering with the military chain of command. The Agency asserts that "where the military uniform is worn during the technician workweek and military customs and courtesies are followed, military grade is a key element in the work area in identifying supervisors and their subordinates." Id. at 3. The Agency contends, therefore, that "military grade inversion is directly related to military policy." Id.
The Agency also asserts that TPR 300 implements a legal mandate to the Agency pursuant to 32 U.S.C. § 709(b), which is "essentially nondiscretionary in nature." Id. at 2. The Agency contends, therefore, that there is a compelling need for its regulation under section 2424.11 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. Finally, the Agency contends that the proposals are nonnegotiable under sections 7106(a) and 7106(b)(1) of the Statute, concerning management's right to determine the organization of the Agency and the grades of employees assigned to work projects and or work functions.
2. Union
The Union asserts that the proposals were offered in response to the Agency's amendment to its regulation, TPR 335, which concerns merit promotion. The Union contends that this amendment "specifically prohibit[s] military grade inversion, that is, those employees selected to fill civilian jobs would not be militarily senior to the full-time civilian supervisor. Certified applicants who are senior would have their applications forwarded for consideration, but, if selected, the successful applicant '[would] have to be reduced or convert to a military grade less than the supervisor.'" Petition at 2 (quoting TPR 335, section 4-3e). The Union acknowledges that the reduction in rank of a technician selected for a position who is militarily senior to the supervisor "concerns a military matter which the Authority has held does not constitute a condition of employment," but argues that "a reduction in rank . . . has a very real impact on civilian conditions of employment." Id. at 3-4. The Union asserts, therefore, that the proposals are negotiable as appropriate arrangements under section 7106(b)(3) of the Statute.
The Union contends that a technician could be adversely affected in a number of ways. The Union explains that a reduction in rank: (1) would appear on a technician's record and, therefore, could be a factor in a decision by the Agency not to retain the technician because a technician must be a member of the National Guard as a condition of his or her civilian employment; (2) may require a technician to be reassigned to another position in the military unit which, if not available, could force the technician to be placed in a military position that is not compatible with the technician's civilian job and, as a result, the technician could lose his or her civilian job; (3) may require a technician to be placed in a slot for which he or she is unqualified, causing the technician to be non-deployable, which is a ground for nonretention; (4) would entail an often significant loss in military pay; and (5) would inhibit the ability of technicians to advance.
The Union asserts that the proposals seek to ameliorate these adverse affects. The Union contends that Proposal 2, "[b]y permitting the no-inversion requirement to be satisfied over the course of three years," would give the technician "additional time to move up in military rank," and, thus, "forestall an adverse retention decision[]" by the Agency as well as provide the technician with additional time for military slots to become available for reassignment. Id. at 5. The Union states that Proposal 3 seeks to "permit subordinate employees to maintain their upward mobility, and guarantees that rank inversion will not be used as a factor in directing them in their civilian work activities." Id. at 6. The Union explains that Proposal 4 attempts to "'grandfather' inversion situations which may already exist." Id. The Union asserts that Proposal 5 seeks to limit any adverse effects for retention purposes of a military demotion caused by the Agency's policy by requiring management to record in a technician's military personnel file that the demotion resulted from the Agency's policy.
The Union contends that "[n]one of the proposals would excessively interfere with the 'military chain of command[.]'" Response at 2. The Union asserts that the "proposals involve the accomplishment of technicians' civilian function[.]" Id. at 3. According to the Union, "[n]othing in the proposal[s] would interfere with the ability of military superiors to appropriately order military subordinates in the event technicians must assume military functions in their military capacity." Id. In sum, the Union asserts that the proposals "have been tailored to benefit employees . . . adversely [affected by management's policy] without excessively interfering with the ability of the Agency to accomplish its mission." Id.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
We find that Proposals 2-5 are nonnegotiable.
The Authority has consistently held that proposals which concern the military aspects of civilian technician employment do not concern conditions of employment within the meaning of the Statute. American Federation of Government Employees, Local 3013 and U.S. Department of Defense, National Guard Bureau, Maine Air National Guard, Augusta, Maine, 40 FLRA 203, 207 (1991). More specifically, the Authority has held that proposals relating to the implementation and application of the military grade inversion policy are nonnegotiable because they concern the military aspects of civilian technician employment. See, for example, Association of Civilian Technicians, Pennsylvania State Council and Adjutant General of Pennsylvania, 31 FLRA 824, 827-829 (1988) (proposal concerning the enforcement of prohibitions on inversion of military rank found nonnegotiable because it concerned the military aspects of technician employment); National Association of Government Employees, SEIU, AFL-CIO and National Guard Bureau Adjutant General, 26 FLRA 515 (1987) (Proposal 3) (proposal requiring that grade inversion policies be equally enforced found nonnegotiable because it did not concern a condition of employment within the meaning of the Statute); National Federation of Federal Employees, Local 1655 and Adjutant General of Illinois, 20 FLRA 829 (1985) (Adjutant General of Illinois) (proposal concerning, among other things, military grade inversion found nonnegotiable because it concerned the military aspects of civilian technician positions and did not concern conditions of employment within the meaning of the Statute).

Whangamarino wetland
DOC is implementing wetland conservation initiatives under the Arawai Kākāriki wetland restoration programme.
These initiatives aim to:
DOC's highest priority for this site is protection of the fen and peat bog type of wetland.
A key learning outcome under the Arawai Kākāriki wetland restoration programme is to increase understanding of wetland function and management in order to develop good wetland restoration and monitoring tools, not just for Whangamarino Wetland but for wetlands generally.
Monitoring mustelids in Whangamarino Wetland
The following research and monitoring is being undertaken in Whangamarino:
This will provide scientific data and baseline information for future management, both at this site and for application at other wetland sites (where applicable).
Read the Whangamarino Outcomes Report 2007-2011 (PDF, 8045K) from the Arawai Kākāriki Wetland Restoration Programme.
The Arawai Kākāriki wetland restoration programme has highlighted the need to do more to increase community awareness and appreciation of the value of wetlands; to maximize community involvement in management, restoration and sustainable land use and in particular, to engage and involve iwi in management of the wetland; and to improve facilities and opportunities for the public to visit Whangamarino.
Action includes:
If you live near the wetland or are a regular visitor, there are a number of things that can be done to help protect the wetland:
There is scope, as part of the ecological restoration of Whangamarino, for organised groups to get involved in planting native trees and shrubs and also pest control programmes to protect bird populations.
If you are interested in establishing a care group for an area of the wetland, we would love to hear from you.

ALWAYS in my cupboard
Posted by poshmeetspavement on Sep 01, 2012
This is a staple for me. NuNaturals is my favorite brand of stevia without and bitter or weird aftertaste. These liquid drops are in a flexible plastic container that is great to travel with (put it in your ziplock with your toiletries!) or keep in your purse or desk drawer at the office. These are unflavored drops of stevia that are perfect for coffee, tea, salad dressings, marinades, baking, oatmeal, and anything that needs a hint of sweetness without adding calories. If you are skeptical of stevia, I would give NuNaturals a try because it REALLY IS BETTER. A little goes a long way, so this is a great value.
Excellent, Consistent Product

I am wondering if it is possible to list the variables expected by a Python function, prior to calling it, in order to pass the expected variables from a bigger dict containing a lot of variables.
I have searched the net but couldn't find anything. However, the python interpreter can show the list of expected variables, so there surely must be some way to do it in a script?

The Sun is Strong
It's always important to be aware of the sun. Relaxing on a beautiful beach with a breeze can make you easily forget to check you skin for signs of a sunburn. We always slather on the sunblock; usually SPF 100 and make sure to re-apply requently. Liz and I both brings hats to ensure our faces do not fry in the sun.
The best thing to do is avoid peak burn times that are from 11am-3pm. We usaully get ourselves some lunch, drinks and shopping during this time to avoid getting crispy.
Do Not Remove Lava Rocks!
Yes, you want a souvenir of your vacation but do not remove any lava rocks. As superstition goes; removal of the rocks angers the volcano goddess Pele and brings bad luck to the person. So just go buy a souvenir from ABC...
"Take only pictures; leave only footprints." "Take only gifts you are given (like flower lei's); and leave only with Aloha."
if you are a haole
if you walk into a building and you are the only haole. get out because most locals hate you this is coming from a hopa with a grandma whom is an ancient but the younger generation for the most part no longger wants to be part of the states and their are rebel groups in the hills i am not like that so now you have been warned

- Family Travel
A common warning intended to...
A common warning intended to keep you from harm is 'Do not leave anything you care about losing in the car (not even locked in the trunk)'. This is good advice. However, my warning would be to remember that you are the visitor/foreigner ('haole') to this island. Treat the local people, the land, and the ocean with respect. With not always the best intentions, we (the visitors), over the past 200 years or so, have managed to change significantly the fragile landscape of these islands.
Not too much to worry about...
Not too much to worry about here. Common sense should keep you worry free. Don't leave your bags unattended on the beach, etc.

Keeps blades cool
posted 6 years ago
This is a great product. Spraying this on your clipper blades really does cool them down! When body clipping a horse they tend to get really hot. This keeps the blades from getting too hot for the animal. I would buy this product again.
Pros: Does the job

Best Act of Selflessness (2012)
Jim Norris benefits
We take care of our own. While this notion has always held true in Denver, the sentiment was never driven home more convincingly than when 3 Kings Tavern co-owner Jim Norris was unexpectedly hospitalized after being bitten by a brown recluse spider. Norris spent nearly a week in the hospital, racking up a mountain of bills. But soon after news of his dilemma spread, a number of good friends, including Jerri Thiel and John Baxter, organized a series of benefits for the local music champion, and tons of bands stepped in to lend a hand. Way to go, Denver.

More than a decade ago, President George W. Bush enlisted the National Security Agency in a blackmail scheme to dig up dirt to coerce UN Security Council members to approve his aggressive war against Iraq. But the plot was foiled by a brave British intelligence officer, Katharine Gun, as Dennis J Bernstein reports.

US Vets Join Gitmo Hunger Strike
Of the 166 detainees still at the Guantanamo Bay prison, 104 are on a hunger strike that has lasted over four months as they protest indefinite detentions without trial or even charges. They have now been joined by several U.S. war veterans, including former Army medic Diane Wilson who spoke with Dennis J Bernstein.
The High Cost of Deportations
As Tea Party activists and some Republican senators vow to stop immigration reform, the status quo means that hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants are deported under President Obama's aggressive enforcement policies, creating a humanitarian crisis for millions, writes Dennis J Bernstein.
Fighting the Secrecy/Surveillance State
The emergence of Bradley Manning, Julian Assange and now Edward Snowden represents just the tip of the iceberg of a popular resistance that is challenging the U.S. government's excesses in secrecy and surveillance, a movement that Iceland MP Birgitta Jonsdottir discusses with Dennis J Bernstein.
The Spillover from Data-Mining
U.S. government officials (and many mainstream pundits) assure Americans that there's nothing to fear from the electronic surveillance aimed at "terrorists," but some intelligence experts say the new techniques could ultimately intimidate people from participating in democracy, as author Christopher Simpson tells Dennis J Bernstein.
How Secrecy Stops Debate on Secrecy
Americans got a rare glimpse into the breadth of U.S. government surveillance of their communications with new revelations that phone and Internet providers have been turning over vast amounts of data to be mined for "terrorism" investigations, an issue discussed by human rights attorney Shahid Buttar with Dennis J Bernstein.
Justice at a Guatemalan Crossroads
The genocide conviction of Guatemala's ex-dictator Efrain Rios Montt has put respect for human rights at a crossroads, with one option to reverse the judgment and another to expand the investigation to Rios Montt's accomplices in Guatemala and the U.S., journalist Allan Nairn tells Dennis J. Bernstein.
Obama's Sub-Prime Conflict
From the Archive: President Obama has nominated Hyatt Hotels heiress Penny Pritzker to be the next Commerce Secretary. Pritzker, also a major fundraiser for Obama's two presidential campaigns, faced controversy because of her role in the sub-prime mortgage disaster, as Dennis J. Bernstein reported in 2008.
Behind the North Korean Crisis
U.S. propagandists and the mainstream media present foreign crises, like the current one with North Korea, as black-and-white morality plays with Official Washington behaving wisely and the adversaries as crazy. But the reality is always more complex, as Christine Hong told Dennis J. Bernstein.
Nobel Peace Prize to Bradley Manning?
As the Iraq War's architects and boosters remain respected figures in Official Washington, whistleblower Bradley Manning faces possible life in prison. To counter this injustice, media critic Jeff Cohen thinks Manning should get the Nobel Peace Prize, as he explained to Dennis J. Bernstein.
