We investigate the pretilt characteristics of a nematic liquid crystal [LC] in terms of ion beam exposure conditions on the homeotropic polyimide alignment layer. The pretilt angle of LCs in the case of high-energy ion beam treatment was decreased considerably almost the same to that of the homogenous alignment layer though we used homeotropic polyimide film at first. Increasing irradiating energy, we could control the pretilt from 90° to 1° with several steps. We believe that this is because the side chain with hydrophobicity in the used polyimide is broken by ion beam exposure. To confirm it, contact angle measurement was carried out. With this result, we can easily control the LC pretilt in the pixel with appropriate exposure conditions which is critical to achieve excellent electrooptic characteristics and good image quality.
In practical applications of liquid crystals [LCs], the study of the LC alignment near the surface including in-plane and out-of-plane directions is crucial. Various alignment techniques have been introduced to create physical/chemical anisotropy on the surface of the alignment layer [1–11]. The most representative skill used in industry is the rubbing method which has high productivity. However, since rubbing is a contact method, it often produces a fine scratch on the alignment layer during the process, and it results in several disadvantages, such as the rubbing mura at a dark level of liquid crystal displays [LCDs].
To overcome such problems, various alternative non-contact methods are suggested for high-resolution LCDs such as photo-alignment technique with ultraviolet [UV] light and ion beam technique [1, 7]. The polarized UV irradiation technique has many merits such as a clear image without the mura at a black level and an easy creation of multi-domain in a pixel. However, it also has a problem such as an image-sticking issue due to a low-surface anchoring strength.
Since the extremely collimated ion beam to confirm a high linear motion can induce an excellent anisotropy on the polyimide surface by selective destruction of π-bonding which plays an important role in the alignment of LCs, it could be a good option of non-contact surface modification method [2, 10]. Also, this method is relatively free of the image-sticking problem since it generates a strong anchoring strength like the rubbing method. Therefore, we can conclude that an appropriate LC pretilt control technique considering LCD modes is essential to obtain better electrooptical characteristics of LCDs and to develop new LC device applications.
In this paper, we investigate the pretilt characteristics of a nematic LC in terms of ion beam irradiation conditions using homeotropic polyimide alignment layer. The modification of LC pretilt with different ion beam exposure parameters was studied experimentally. As a result, we successfully changed the pretilt angle from 90° to 1° with several sub-steps.
After coating and baking, this homeotropic polyimide film was bombarded by an argon ion beam to change the LC aligning properties of the surface. In this experiment, various ion beam exposure conditions such as the irradiation energy, exposure angle, exposure time, and current density are modulated to examine how the surface property is changed according to them. As an ion source, a cold hollow cathode [CHC] is used to yield a highly collimated ion beam. In order to collimate the ion beam, two perforated grids are used as electro-focusing lenses. The CHC represents a separate cooled chamber which is equipped with a magnetic system and is connected to a discharge chamber through an orifice. Argon gas feeding into the ion source is carried out through the CHC only.
In order to investigate the pretilt angle of treated polyimide surfaces, we had fabricated several LC cells by using the substrates with different ion beam exposure conditions. The cell was filled with a nematic LC (MLC-6610 from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) with negative dielectric anisotropy, and the cell gap was maintained by 12-μm glass spacers. The LC injection was carried out at room temperature. The pretilt angle was measured by the extended crystal rotation method which can measure a wider range of the pretilt [12, 13].
where θ is the contact angle. As known in Equation 2, when the liquid is water with chemical polarity, the lower the contact angle is, the higher the surface energy and the hydrophilic property are. Meanwhile, the higher the contact angle is, the lower the surface energy and the hydrophilic property are.
In this measurement, we used distilled water having chemical polarity as a liquid. The ion beam-treated polyimide AL-00010 substrate of which the ion beam conditions are ion beam energy of 300 eV, ion beam current density of 50 μA/cm2, exposure angle of 30°, and exposure time of 30 s was used as a sample. The ion beam condition is enough to modify the surface as shown in Figure 2. As a comparison, the sample with untreated polyimide AL-00010 substrate was examined.
In summary, we investigated the LC pretilt property according to the ion beam exposure conditions on a homeotropic LC alignment. The LCs on a higher energy ion beam-treated surface is aligned almost homogenously. We assumed that it may be caused by the breaking of the side chain with hydrophobic property in the used polyimide by ion beam exposure. It was confirmed from the result of the contact angle measurement. LC pretilt which may create new LCD applications with excellent electrooptic characteristics and good image quality can be controlled by an ion beam condition with proper ion beam parameters.

Admit it, you thought I died. Promise I've just been busy. I hope you're all doing well! I have been churning out costumes, and am presently working on a few new ones, which will be premiered at Megacon next month. Can't wait!
In the meantime, I have a big request to ask. I have entered a photo of my Sugarplum Fairy (Cabin in the Woods) into a photo contest. I don't ask this very often, but if you have a second to check out the photo and give it a like (if you enjoy it!), I would greatly appreciate it. The photo is actually doing pretty well, which makes me crazy happy, since it's a horror shot (my favorite thing to cosplay). But if you could give it a little love, I would greatly appreciate it! And check out the other photos as well! There are some great ones there!
The photo can be found at:
You are allowed to like it on both pages, if you feel so inclined. Thank you so much in advance, and I promise not to spam you with any more requests like this any time soon!
Happy crafting everyone!

There'll always be an England, people used to say. Now the emphasis is on used to say. Because one report after another from that once sceptered isle is less than encouraging. For years the talented Anthony Daniels, who also writes, prolifically, under the name Theodore Dalrymple, has been chronicling Britain's social disintegration. His reports from once jolly old England make it sound like something out of "Clockwork Orange."
Maybe it was his day job as a prison doctor that gave Dr. Daniels so sour a perspective. Let's hope his is a skewed vision. Because in this Age of Obama, Americans are being told to adopt policies that seem strikingly similar to the just rejected Labor Party's nostrums -- in everything from health care to taxation, political correctness to economic regulation, labor law to foreign policy.
If that's going to be the shape of our progressive, Social Democratic, oh-so-advanced future, let's get off this roundabout now and head straight back to the past.
Skimming a choice selection of headlines from the Daily Mail's website is not exactly a cheery way to start the day:
"A-level student, 17, stabbed to death at home in front of parents 'was victim of mistaken identity' "
"Soap actress left blind in one eye after being attacked with wine glass in bar row"
"50,000 British women warned their breast implants could explode"
"Council to ban the word 'obesity' -- so fat children don't get offended"
"Teenager who blinded man with her stiletto heel in drunken brawl is jailed for 18 months"
"Man suffocates to death after falling into clothes recycling bin"
"Nurse who told heart patient to mop up his own urine is free to continue working"
"Woman, 86, threatened by M&S security staff for eating biscuit in wrong part of the store"
And so depressingly on. Britannia, where have you gone?
Mark Steyn, who writes the back-of-the-book essay for National Review, picked out these headlines to illustrate Britain's social disintegration. His conclusion: "What strikes you about the peculiar combination of drunken depravity, random violence, petty officiousness and political correctness is the sheer bloody pointlessness of it all."

It is a common belief that a prolonged, nation-wide outage of communications networks would hit developed countries harder than developing countries. A study made by Scott Dynes et al. in 2006 has estimated losses for three segments of US economy if communications networks go down (see "Costs to the U.S. Economy of Information Infrastructure Failures: Estimates from Field Studies and Economic Data", 2006 for details). The study highlighted three important areas of potential impact: electric, automobile, and oil refining. In a case of an outage affecting the first two segments, the study looked at losses if the Internet goes down. The study found that oil refining is not as dependent on the Internet, so the losses were estimated if their SCADA systems would become unavailable. Total losses for these three segments of US economy are estimated to be in a range of US $500 million for a 10-day outage.

LIVE BLOG: Liverpool vs Manchester United
633 Comments
Shirt sales maybe. Who the fuck would want to wear the shirt of that feckin guppy. He looks like hes being continually kicked in the stones. I cant see the japanese or those in the far east going for that one
^a fuckin joke
Just watched the game again. liverpool defended for 87 minutes with at least 9 players back.
I agree that United should have pressed more after 60 minutes gone but to suggest that Cleverley was the problem today is just lazy analysis. A 4-2-3-1 does not expect one of the CDM to be the creative force. I saw the issue of Young and Giggs not beating their man and playing square to Carrick or Cleverley. Seriously, you cannot win in a 4-2-3-1 without a better penetrating wingman creating space.
Moan all you want about Moyes destroying the side. I think he set the team up to contain and counter. It did not work that way due to a lucky shoulder flick. Counter attackin liverpool at Anfield is exactly how you beat them.
I do not know the solution of breaking down a solid 10 man front. Maybe United need to push Carrick up and protect the back 4 with Anderson and Cleverley? Maybe. Until Kagawa and Rooney return of course. Then the attacking 3 MF can be Rooney, Kagawa, and Nani. Not a bad setup once everyone is fit.
"WHY ARE UNITED NOT IN ADVANCED TALKS TO SIGN OZIL ? … absolutely furious."
He only has about 80-90 assists in the last three years. Not the type of player we need, apparently. Couldn't hack in in the Prem, apparently.
A very different player to Bale, but can anyone say he's inferior to Bale? Very good player. Real signed Beckham and all of a sudden Makelele etc were on the market. Then Robben/Sneijder a few years ago. Very good day or two for Wenger and Arsenal, pretty much overshadowing all Spurs' efforts with one win and one signing.
Mind you, Arsenal and City aren't in crisis anymore so to the press it'll be us in crisis over the next week or two.
That's because you don't know anything about it. I've fought in Northern ireland, kosovo and afghanastan so i know a fair bit about it. I can tell you that football has nothing to do with it
Wee Toms Ligaments
Exactly how I saw it.
You are right it doesn't and its a figment of speech. I was a signaler myself.
Sky are reporting arsenal in advanced talks for ozil? Why the fuck are we dicking around if he is available we should have been in for him. Just when I thought this transfer window couldn't get any worse think we are in for a long season and the most depressing thing is we don't even look exciting to watch at the moment. Pray I'm wrong but think we will end up with fellaini and he is not the creative spark we need also we need to sort out what we are doing with kagawa as he is supremely talented but completely misused. Gonna be a long season this one….
dannysoya LOVES USAIN BOLT says:
Why can't we just admit that we were beaten FAIR AND SQUARE by Liverpool today? It wasn't a "lucky shoulder flick" like many of you are trying to force, Sturridge was very smart on that play and got himself in the right position. If that was Van Persie we would be praising him for his superb movement but now that it's sturridge it's lucky? Fucking hilarious rubbish.
And even on the judge of play their win was by no means "Lucky". How many times did we work Mignolet? Don't worry i'll wait. Our clearest chance fell to our best player and he missed it in the 86th minutes, Four mins to the END of the game. We did not deserve ANYTHING out of the game cuz we were very poor and did not put the ball to more efficient use. Simple. Tired of everyone constantly putting their tinted glasses on. There comes a time when you need to take them off and face the realities. This is that time. We absolutely MUST strengthen tonight/tomorrow or else we face a serious battle to even finish in the top two this year. And oh yeah, don't look now but Spurs are coming and Arsenal, by the looks of it, are strengthening tonight. We better get going.

No they didn't they won because they were better in the middle of the park. Henderson,Gerrard and Lucas were better than Cleverley, Carrick and Giggs and agger and Skrtel snuffed out the one or two half attacks United created. Liverpool were better on the day, it doesn't mean they will win the league or finish above utd but they were better today.
if you were a signaler then you should know better. you're someone who's represented your country and acting like one of those yobs who just goes to matches to fight isn't what you should expect from yourself. your comments about the 96 were pretty awful and even if you did mean it as banter it's no joking matter.
I think there is a distinct possibility we are being left behinde. United will end up being the grandparent at christmas who gives the grandchild a £2 postal order, completely out of touch with todays valuations. Ive always championed Sir Alexs frugal stance and the unwillingness to spend 30 million on decent but not world class stars but I guess that time is up. Money has gone made and we have to be stupid just to catch up with the stupidity. The days of Scholes, Raul, Del Piero and Giggs are dead, now we enter the world of Rooney, Ronaldo, Eto, and the biggsest scum bag of them all Anelka. Suits the modern money crazed youngsters but certainly makes the gulf wider between the old and modern football. I suppose its the way its supposed to be, Bridge for me, lol.
My grandpa always told me 'hunger' and 'war' are worst experiences for human in this world.
He was involved in Bama {spl} and Japan. I don't know why I like war songs he used to sing. Touching words with message of encouragement.
My Cousin was at Kosovo and told me they were offensive as bees and defensive as a brick wall Roomers say Afghanistan are stealthy, I still don't know if that's. My question is which one is hard to deal with?
We are all different, with different journeys. I WAS a signaler, I WAS proud of my country, I USED to care about my fellow man. Things change. No remorse, feelings of guilt or apology's here.

I'm praying that Di Maria becomes available cos it looks like we need a wide man and he's better than Young and Valencia cos he can actually dribble and go past a couple of players.
with rooney out i actually think kagawa will get his chance today, but moyes (again) decided to play safe with giggsy and young. i know giggsy is a legend, he bring calmness and experience but experience alone won't win the game, u need pace, stamina and sharpness things that unfortunatelly our giggsy lacks of these days. now apparently we wont make any signing this transfer windows (big thanks to our american dealer woodward), i really hope moyes able to maximaze the squad, give more game time to the youngsters (zaha, januzaj, lingard, powell) yes they might lack of experience on the top level but we know they have potential and i believe they cant do worse than valencia, young or even giggsy did…
http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/david-moyes-wrote-a-letter-to-man-united-fans-attending-liverpool-match-picture/? Pure class by Moyes compared to some pathetic fans we have in here.
"rumors" sorry not "roomers"
time to take more risk moyesy!!
That's a difficult question. I think it really depends on the individual who's deployed. I would say i felt more on edge in kosovo but i felt the tasks I had to do was harder in afghanastan. It also depends on which part of the military you are in, for example if you are an army surgeon and your in afghan, some days you will get cases where your own troops have been shot and it's pressure to for them to fix you up quickly before they can fly you to the nearest hospital ship but other days they can get wounded enemy troops from the taliban in who spit in their faces as they are being taken in to the field hospitals, but by law they have to give them medical care. your question is so hard to answer as there are so many different tasks for different soldiers.
Unconfirmed reports, but 42 Million for Ozil is pretty steep. Thats almost half the reported Bale fee.
Less that 24 hrs to the close of the window, will we make any moves? Can we make any move?
I can't believe we dropped the ball on this. That said, i'd like to see how Moyes handles the same problem SAF had. We've looked , in the past, as poor as we did today. I 'd like to see how Moyes reacts.
I said it over the summer that Moyes has to be his own man and should be the star signing to really kick things for us. I'm still hopeful that the man is willing to change things up.
Kagawa not being fit must be the dumbest shit i've heard anyone say on here in years. It beats the lot of the foul shit i've heard in the is place. Not fit eh ? Yet Rooney pissing off the summer and no competitive match or training is fit start the season . Add to that ,two injuries that kept the Golden boy at home.
Collision with Phil Jones my arse. He got decked.
RedEric, I would be very interested to hear your grandfathers stories. I'm a self confessed history geek from medieval to modern times and have admit to being greatly fascinated by war if at the same time repulsed by it. I've probably read more books on world war 2 though than any other war and in particular on the battle of Stalingrad. Pictures and stories can't replicate what it must have been like so you can only immerse yourself in that subject to try and get an understanding of the madness and suffering that caused to innocent people and tools of war. I've been to Japan a few times as well and can honestly say visiting Hiroshima peace memorial park for the first time had a huge affect on me. They pull no punches in the museum and found the stories almost unbearable and I've never been moved like that before. I went and sat down in the peace memorial park at night and just looked at the Hiroshima Dome (the only building left standing at the hypo centre) and tried to take in just exactly what had happened on that spot. Was a very strange feeling and one I'll never forget. It literally took a monumental tragedy like that for Japan to completely change their ways. We can only learn from history, but sadly there will always be power crazed monsters out there and circumstances that will allow them to brainwash people even now in this day and age.
nice touch
read the comments section and tell me how nice the scousers really are.
WE ARE APPARENTLY ONE OF THE 4 BIGGEST CLUBS IN THE WORLD along with Barca, Real and Bayern;
Real Madrid – Gareth Bale, Isco
Barca – Neymar
Bayern – Gotze, Thiago, Lewandowski (next season)
Infact apart from RVP..who was our last world class signing?
Thanks I understand. Just like I thought Afghan feels nervous. The Tilibans and their Islamist believes {sorry no offense to Muslims}, the Alqueda link, Illegal trade in drugs and fire arms,lack of Governing body, Guerrilla warfare and the climatic condition of the region, are least to name and too much to handle at the same time.
@The Hound
No problem mate, better to Email it though, but now its already passed midnight at my country. Please let me type it tomorrow if you don't mind.
WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN MEAN? Like I am so confused as to the connotation of him saying this. Ugh
A couple of signings today… Young, Welbeck, Clev and Giggs out of the side, Kagawa, Chicharito, Nani, Rooney and Herrera in.
To be honest I wouldn't pick Young, Welbeck, Clev and Giggs to start in the Maltese League which is medoicrity of highest order and nauseous to watch.
gd says:
Said earlier that we began with a conservative set-up, but was happy to see Moyes replace Jones with Valencia and not Smalling. As Wee Toms Ligaments mentioned, Liverpool sat back a lot after the goal esp in the second period, but didn't see a change in tactics much?
That said, we will surely improve once our attackers return to full fitness. Does anyone know how long Rooney will be out for?
Jesus wept, we are three games into the new season and already people are getting their panties in a twist. I know it hurts to lose to the scousers but I think people need to get some perspective, we have a few injuries, we have a new manager trying to find his feet but above all we didn't actually play that badly in the second half and didn't give Liverpool a sniff, had RVP had his shooting boots on we could easily have scrapped a draw, possibly even the win.
Now I've made no secret of the fact that I was pretty underwhelmed by the Moyes appointment but give the poor bloke a chance to prove himself before jumping all over him. Moyes isn't responsible for transfers either though he would/should have identified his targets leaving Woodward to wrap up the deals, if anybody should be copping flack its Woodward, not Moyes.
Loosing to liverpool is always bad, really bad, all of us I am sure have had a terrible time since last evening. But I am not going to say its the end of the world. Its only three games into the season and we will respond. The only thing that troubles me is Manchester United havent scored for 180 minutes now, any idea when was the last time this happened?

TIG says Glass Lewis recommends Zale holders vote against Signet merger
TIG Advisors, a stockholder of Zale Corporation (ZLC) owning approximately 9.5% of its outstanding shares of common stock, announced that Glass, Lewis & Co. has recommended that Zale stockholders vote AGAINST the proposed merger with Signet Jewelers (SIG) for $21 per share in cash. According to TIG, Glass Lewis concluded in its report that, "In our view, shareholders would be better served rejecting the transaction in favor of a more robust strategic review and -- in the absence of a compelling alternative -- the continued pursuit of Zale's stand-alone operating plan."

For more information on habitat, vegetation, and weather of the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge when this observation was made, please see the written journal entry for April 1, 2012. This insect was found on the observation deck area next to the large clearing at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. It started out on a shirt and escaped to the ground where I finally got a picture of it. Stoneflies are common in areas with running water, which explains why we found it right next to the Nisqually River. They are intolerant of water pollution and their presence in a river shows that the water is relatively clean. These insects start out as nymphs living in water and become terrestrial in adulthood. The specimen we found was in adulthood.

Thank you for sharing your situation with us - I have found this thread very interesting and thought-invoking.
As you have noticed we all "do poly" in different ways...which I find fascinating, since the way that I "do poly" differs depending on what my present configuration looks like.
Originally Posted by

We do not operate our lives quite that independently, or have one foot out the door. We discuss everything. We check in with each other ....make sure what we are doing is in keeping with comfort and commitment levels. We have been together more than 20 years...are raising a child, and are committed to growing old(er) together. So, we don't just say, choose your secondary or choose me. That's just not our scenario.
A lot of what you say here applies to my relationship with my husband. We have been together for 2 DECADES, we have built something together (although we don't have kids), we share a history and common goals. I would never give up what I have with him, regardless of who else is involved in my life.
Originally Posted by

Hmmm...interesting, I (myself personally) agree with part of the sentiment but not with the reasoning. I think it is because I don't "date." By the time I would consider myself in a "relationship" with someone they would already have had to pass the hurdle of NOT causing pain in my relationship with my husband...or in my relationship with Dude.
It's not that my husband is "first, always" (although he is the first chronologically)...sometimes Dude is first...sometimes I am first - depending on the circumstances. It's more that ... if a "potential" relationship is damaging to a "proven" relationship, then, to me, that "relationship" is just simply not going to work. Why would i want to be with someone that damages the things that are important to me? An analogy: If a friend of mine came in and set fire to my collection, say, of Heinlein novels - they wouldn't be my friend.

While we have caring feelings for those we date and love some of them in nurturing, non-posssessive kind of way, I would not say we are "in love" with them in any way close to the way we are in love with and committed to each other. So, our polyamory may differ from yours.
...While I like having a primary secondary I really connect with -- that sounds awkward -- I may also have periodic dates with others, as might my husband (which I fully support), for whatever reason. New experiences? New connections? Doing things our regular secondary or primary is not into? Just plain fun?
So this may very well be a way that "your poly" is, in fact, different from "my poly" (and every person's "poly" is different). I agree with the "New experiences? New connections? Doing things our regular secondary or primary is not into? Just plain fun?" part, but, for me, I am also a proponent of letting relationships evolve to whatever level is right for that relationship, without restriction. (And, to be fair, I hate the very concept of "dating.")
My relationship with Dude is not at the same place my relationship with MrS is. How could it be? They are different people, we have been together different lengths of time, we have shared different experiences. 20 years from now could my relationship with Dude be near where MrS and I are now? Certainly, or it could be somewhere completely different. My relationship with Dude doesn't have to follow the same trajectory, it is it's own entity.
With regards to this:

No solution has become apparent yet. We talk and I say I will think about it. But whenever it comes up, I have such a negative visceral reaction, it doesn't go much further.
... He realizes I have legitimate concerns and that she (or the relationship I guess, to be fair) caused major drama before. He justs wants this because she is a fun fuck and low maintenance (which I understand -- very appealing). For him. He is not desparately in love with her and my saying it pains me for you to do this won't end his world.
Aside from the "few times a year" that he brings it up, how much effort are you putting into "trying to get [your] head around it"? Do you ignore it between conversations? (This doesn't seem to be the case, since you are here talking about it.) It sounds as though the two of you don't date looking for "co-primary" type life-long relationships. So it sounds, from my perspective, that he is really looking at her as a potential "fuck-buddy" (i.e. "fun fuck and low maintenance"). - to me, that is less-than a relationship. So you either set swinger-type boundaries (you can see her x times a month, and I don't want to hear about it) and let him get her out of his system or you say "No, anyone but her." and put and end to the discussion.
Just some random observations.
Me: poly bi female, in an "open-but-not-looking" V-plus with -
MrS: hetero polyflexible male, live-in husband (23+ yrs)
Dude: hetero poly male, live-in boyfriend (4+ yrs) and MrS's BFF
Lotus: "it's complicated"
SLeW: platonic girlfriend + BFF
+ "others" = FBs, FWBs, lover-friends, platonic G/BFs, boytoys, etc.

comfy but....
"These shoes were extremely comfortable. So comfortable that I wore them everyday... HOWEVER, if your feet tend to sweat during your workday, I would not recommend these shoes. The memory foam started to stink so badly from not being able to breath. I wish these shoes did not have this problem. I had to throw them away after 3 months because of the smell!"

Politicians running for elective office have gotten away for too long with platitudes, generalities and tired, old sound bites. Do you have a question you have been yearning to ask a politician? Do you want answers from gubernatorial candidates Jerry Brown or Meg Whitman? What about U.S. Senate candidates Carly Fiorina or Barbara Boxer? If you have a question you wanted answered, here is your chance.
10Questions.com is a new digital project supported by the Personal Democracy Forum and which aims to take political discourse to the next level technologically. Voters ought to participate en masse.
10questions.com is an online experiment to get candidates in 46 of the top political races in the nation to answer 10 tough questions selected by regular people. Anyone can post a question – via text or video – on 10questions.com that they want candidates to answer. Once questions are posted, website visitors vote on the questions, and the top 10 vote-getters will be submitted to the candidates. Every race will have a separate set of questions. Each candidate will respond by video on YouTube.com.
Two California races – governor and U.S. Senate – have been selected to participate. Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina and Barbara Boxer have agreed to participate. Jerry Brown is the only candidate that has yet to commit but if enough Californians are watching, Mr. Brown would be remiss not to participate.
The outcomes of the Nov. 2 elections could change the direction of the country and have global reverberations.
Citizen engagement in the electoral process is crucial, and one of the best ways to engage is by getting the toughest questions answered by those who say they will tackle the biggest challenges facing the state and nation. 10question.com needs questions submitted by Sept. 21. This is your opportunity to demand answers.
Letters to the Editor: E-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please provide your name, city and telephone number (telephone numbers will not be published). Letters of about 200 words will be given preference. Letters will be edited for length, grammar and clarity.

30:0165(20)AR - Michigan Air NG, Adjutant General of Michigan, Department of Military Affairs and Michigan State Council of the ACT -- 1987 FLRAdec AR
[ v30 p165 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
30 FLRA NO. 20 30 FLRA 165 23 NOV 1987 MICHIGAN AIR NATIONAL GUARD ADJUTANT GENERAL OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY AFFAIRS Agency and MICHIGAN STATE COUNCIL OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CIVILIAN TECHNICIANS Union Case No. 0-AR-1393 DECISION I. Statement of the Case This matter is before the Authority on exceptions filed by the Agency to the award of Arbitrator Elliot I. Beitner under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor - Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union filed an opposition. For the reasons that follow, the Agency's exceptions are denied. II. Background and Arbitrator's Award The grievant applied for assignment to the alert function in response to an announcement requesting volunteers for the assignment. 1 The alert function consists of 12-hour shifts by technician mechanics, who work 7 days on and 7 days off duty for 84 hours per pay period. The mechanics are responsible for maintaining aircraft in a state of readiness to fly at all times. The parties negotiated the following provision in Article XIV of their agreement, Workweek and Hours of Work: Section 10. Consideration for assignment of employees to the alert function will be made by the employer from employees that indicate a preference to work in that function. Selection will be based on seniority, merit, ability and other selective placement factors. An alert tour will normally be a minimum of one (1) year. Consideration will be given to the reassignment of an employee after one (1) year consistent with mission requirements. When the grievant was not selected for the assignment, he filed a grievance which was submitted to arbitration. In the absence of a stipulation, the Arbitrator accepted the following issue proposed by the Agency: Did the Agency violate Article XIV, Section 10, of the collective bargaining agreement when it denied the request of (the grievant) for assignment to the Alert Function? The Arbitrator heard testimony as to the bargaining history of the agreement provision and particularly as to the relative weight to be assigned to seniority as compared with merit, ability, and other selective placement factors. The Union asserted that seniority should be the basis for making assignments to the alert function and that the other factors operate only when an employee is removed from the function. The Agency maintained that all factors must be given equal weight and that it was justified in not selecting the grievant because of his "attitude, interpersonal relations, and conducting (private) business on government time." Award at 14. The Arbitrator agreed with the Agency that under Article XIV, Section 10, seniority is only one of the factors that govern selection for assignment to the alert function. He also determined, however, that if the Agency relies on criteria other than seniority, "adequate proof (concerning the other criteria) must be offered." Award at 20. The Arbitrator found that the Agency failed to prove by direct testimony or evidence that the grievant had performed private work on Government time, or that he had a bad attitude and poor interpersonal relations with the air crew. The Arbitrator concluded that without proof of those allegations, the Agency did not have sufficient basis to deny the assignment to the grievant, an otherwise qualified applicant] who had the required seniority and ability. He granted the grievance and ordered that the grievant be assigned to the alert function with any backpay that might have been lost. III. First Exception A. Contentions The Agency contends that the Arbitrator substituted his judgment for that of management when he ruled that the grievant should have been selected over other available qualified candidates for assignment to the alert function. The Agency maintains that the criteria for selection contained in the agreement are intended to be guidelines without any specific weight assigned and that management had the right to select the candidate it chose for the assignment under section 7106(a)(2)(B) of the Statute, using the agreement criteria as a guide. The Agency contends that it was justified in not selecting the grievant because it questioned his reliability, exercise of independent judgment, and ability to get along with other members of his team. The Union contends that the award constituted a finding that management did not substantiate its stated reasons for not selecting the grievant, who was otherwise qualified and possessed the necessary seniority for assignment to the alert function. The Union denies that the award interferes with management's right to make assignments to the alert function and asserts that the Agency is simply disagreeing with the Arbitrator's finding that the Agency failed to follow the negotiated procedure for making those assignments. B. Discussion We find that the first exception fails to establish that the award violates management's right to assign work under section 7106(a)(2)(B) or that the Arbitrator improperly substituted his judgment for that of management as to which employee should be assigned to the alert function. Proposals which establish procedures to be used by management when selecting from among employees previously determined by management to be qualified to perform the work required by a reassignment are negotiable. Local Lodge 830, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL - CIO and U.S. Naval Ordnance Station, Louisville, Kentucky, 20 FLRA 848, 850 (1985), enforced sub nom. U.S. Naval Ordnance Station v. FLRA, 818 F.2d 545 (6th Cir. 1987). Similarly, proposals concerning the criteria under which assignments to shifts are made are not outside the duty to bargain when management retains the discretion to limit the selection to "qualified employees." National Treasury Employees Union and Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, 14 FLRA 243 (1984) (Provision 6). See also Department of Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, Baltimore, Maryland, 21 FLRA 735 (1986), aff'd sub nom. American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1336 v. FLRA, No. 86-1851 (8th Cir. Sept. 28, 1987). In this case, the agreement provision in dispute concerns the assignment to the alert function tour of duty of employees already determined by management to be qualified to perform the duties of that tour of duty. In fact, the assignment to the alert function of technician mechanics concerns the performance of duties already assigned to those employees on a different shift or tour of duty. The assignment of employees to the alert function tour of duty does not constitute an assignment to a different position with different duties. Thus, the provision constitutes a negotiable procedure. See International Plate Printers, Die Stampers and Engravers Union of North America, AFL - CIO, Local 2 and Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engr

Do You Know, Or Care, What A "Filibuster" Is?
Richard 2012/12/04 15:35:34
No, a "filibuster" is not another name for a Nor'easter. It's kind of hard to explain in a few words other than, as I said, is not a Nor'easter storm, but, has as much wind as one. Details on all this wind blowing stuff and exactly what a "filibuster" is on today's MisfitWisdom blog at http://misfit120.wordpress.com

- geenaroses 2012/12/04 16:30:29I know what it is and.............Now lets see, I remember this one from 8th grade, Sister Clarissima saying the filibuster in such a unique way...wait, wait...I think its when someone in the Senate can start a debate abt any issue they choose and just keep talking and try to get a vote on it once a majority is there unless someone stops it from happening. But if I remember correctly there are certain stipulations to this ie what can be debated and when.
- geenaroses Richard 2012/12/10 19:00:59Oh my goodness....I am so excited!! I dedicate this "A" to the late Sister Clarissima and that awful Catholic School uniform. May they both be resting in peace.
- Just MEH....Piwan 2012/12/04 16:14:07None of the aboveI believe it is a very long, drawn out speech, usually related to POLITICS, and yes, lots of wind..the same type that comes out of people's butts when they get gas!
- FeedFwd ~POTL 2012/12/04 16:05:22I know what it is and.............+1I don't really care. If I were a senator, I might care more. The senate really doesn't have filibusters anymore. It has votes on cloture. Filibusters are painful for the one(s) filibustering. Now those who want to hold up a vote don't have to find something to talk about for hours like Huey P Long did back in the golden age of filibustering.

We do not want majority rule in America. That's dangerous.

Neither the GOP nor democrats would dare.

learning objectivesAfter reading this chapter you will be familiar with the following:
• the economic rationale for environmental regulations;
• general criteria used for evaluating a specific environmental policy instrument;
• deterring environmental abuse through liability laws;
• the Coasian theorem and its implications for environmental regulations;
• emission standards as a policy tool for regulating environment pollution;
• the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its legal mandates in setting emission standards.
The tragedy of the commons as a food basket is averted by private property, or something formally like it. But the air and waters surrounding us cannot readily be fenced, and so the tragedy of the commons as a cesspool must be prevented by different means, by coercive laws or taxing devices that make it cheaper for the polluter to treat his pollutants than to discharge them untreated.

The doctors further commented that they could not explain what was happening and that this was nothing more than miraculous! She left the hospital returned home, continued with the alternative therapy, re-established her weight and life was great... this lasted for approximately 2 years before she was diagnosed with cancer yet again, this time the cancer went through her every bone.

Thanks Sam, good luck with the move mate. Whether Jesus lived or not, does that even matter ? Can we refute what he stood for and what he said whether he was a real living human or not ? I can't and i certainly give this the man the benefit of the doubt. I have attempted to live by Jesus' principles, i get massive rewards spiritually for doing so when i get it right, but you see how evil the world has become, you have to pray to the great creator for guidance, strength etc you realise the weakness of flesh and Earthly desires. I know god forgvies us all if we'd just ask. I know i am on the right path lately as like i have said, i truly feel like a 2 year old kid again, i look at 2 year old kids and they look back at me and smile, it's like we could stare into each others eyes and be happy for all eternity. Oh boy, love, what a rollercoaster. In death we will all be delivered, paradise would be nice lord, i would like be be a part of it ASAP.

Ok, a lot of of us are genetically predisposed to develop a huge variety of diseases, but I can't stress enough that it's about what you "bath" said genes in that plays a huge part in whether one develops the disease or not.Gold. My mother used to work for Marie Curie cancer care and she told me about a patient that talked about gold; tell you more later if interested, not a long story but I gotta tend to me cooking. Makes me think that the lust for gold now is lost in translation from a time when people knew it's true worth.Oh before I go Dr J. You looked up CoQ10? That stuff could kill the statin trade. You remember the course I told you I was doing? (I won't say too much - patient confidentiality etc). Well we had a person come to clinic because they refused to go on statins and wanted our help. The GP wanted to put her on statins with a LDL cholesterol reading of 3.1 !!!! See what we're up against?!?!Anyway, keep up the fight.
