Council sets stormwater drainage standard
By TIFFANY RAZZANO
Article published on
Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014
SEMINOLE The Seminole City Council approved a resolution to establish a Stormwater Level of Service standard for public drainage facilities at its Feb. 11 meeting.
It is important that we do establish a level of service as we move forward with drainage issues and drainage concerns, said City Manager Frank Edmunds.
The city hired Tampa Bay Engineering to study its drainage facilities and to create a Master Drainage Plan. TBEs plan is based on a 25-year/24-hour storm event (with approximately 9 inches falling in a 24-hour event).
The plan utilized an A through F grading system, which was used to identify current drainage service levels. TBE then recommended adopting a Level of Service D, which provides the most cost-effective approach for adequate drainage protection.
In other action items, the council also:
approved a $1,200-contract for Roadtrip Productions to sound and lighting for the Pow Wow Festival.
We have had some experience with this particular vendor, Edmunds said. Its the low-cost proposal to provide such services.
Roadtrip Productions has provided similar services for previous Pow Wow events and the Music in the Park series.
authorized a $500 donation to be given to Cross Bayou Little League.
The council gave Cross Bayou a similar donation last year and intended it to be a one-time donation. So it wasnt written into the budget this year, Edmunds said.
But theyve suffered a lot as a result of vandalism since last year and are seeking some funding to bring it back up to its prior status and condition, he said.
Though located in an unincorporated part of the county, Cross Bayou attracts some players who are Seminole residents living east of Seminole Boulevard.

Nine California Surgery Centers, 60 Physicians Sue Aetna, Alleging Attack on Out-of-Network ASCs
More than six dozen physicians, medical associations and surgery centers sued the insuer in California court on July 3. They alleged the company retaliated against physicians and patients for using surgery centers that do not have contracts with the company.
The plaintiffs asked a Los Angeles court to prevent Aetna from terminating physicians from contracts for referring patients to out-of-network facilities. The new lawsuit alleges that Aetna violates state fair business and false advertising laws by selling insurance policies with out-of-network benefits, and then intimidating physicians and benefits into referring to and using in-network facilities only.
"Aetna's practice of forcing doctors to preclude Aetna patients with out-of-network benefits from actually using those benefits constitutes a clinical gag clause," the plaintiffs alleged in the lawsuit.
The group suing Aetna includes 60 named physicians, nine surgery centers, the California Medical Association and the medical associations of Los Angeles, Santa Clara and Ventura counties.

Shelby Baugh Bruner decided she wanted to be an optometrist when she was 10 years old.
"I required visual correction at a young age," said Baugh Bruner, who is wrapping up her third year in the University of Missouri–St. Louis' optometry program. "I was in a situation where neither of my parents needed glasses, so it never really came up until I started struggling, telling them I can't see the board."
Her first visit to an optometrist sealed her lifelong goal.
"In the beginning it was all the cool technology they had in the offices I went to," she said. "I thought, 'This is so neat they get to play with these machines all the time!'"
Those first experiences also contributed to her passion for infant vision screening, said Baugh Bruner, who was recently awarded the 2016 first place $5,000 InfantSEE Scholarship sponsored by Vision Quest, Inc.
InfantSEE is a public health program, managed by Optometry Cares – The American Optometric Association Foundation. Under the program, AOA optometrists provide a no-cost comprehensive eye and vision assessment for infants 0-12 months regardless of a family's income or access to insurance coverage.
Through Vision Quest, Inc., InfantSEE Scholarships are offered to optometry students who plan on becoming program providers and demonstrate academic seriousness about preparing professionally for the program.
Baugh Bruner gained familiarity with InfantSEE during her undergraduate years at Missouri Southern State University. She worked with Dr. Gregory Goetzinger, an AOA optometrist who offered InfantSEE examinations through his practice in Carthage, Mo.
"The earlier you find a problem, the better the outcome is going to be," Baugh Bruner said. "A lot of the time people say, 'I look at my baby, and they're doing everything normally. I'm not seeing any delays.' But some visual problems can go undetected for long periods of time, and they're going to have a bigger impact once the child gets into school.
"Maybe they're having trouble even with colors and sitting still. It may look like a behavioral problem, but it's really just that the patient can't see. And they don't know how to tell you that because it's always looked like that to them."
Baugh Bruner plans to use the InfantSEE Scholarship to fund an extensive yearlong externship experience, which she said will allow her to see many different types of patients and practice a broad range of vision assessment and care. Externship opportunities were actually one of the reasons Baugh Bruner chose UMSL.
"UMSL's College of Optometry has one of the best externship programs," she said. "They have a lot of options where you can do your eight-week rotations your last year."
Baugh Bruner will start this summer in St. Louis, rotating through St. Louis Children's Hospital, People's Health Centers, Myrtle Hilliard Davis Comprehensive Health Centers, Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments and the Lindell Eye Center.
"Many of these clinics serve the uninsured and medically undeserved populations of St. Louis," she said. "These clinics are important because they enable people to receive eye care who otherwise would not be able to."
The majority of her scholarship will fund her living expenses for externships outside of St. Louis. Those include stints at the Missouri Eye Institute in Springfield, Mo., the Carl Albert Indian Health Facility in Ada, Okla., and Carthage [Mo.] Eye Care owned by Dr. Tamra Soriano.
It won't be Baugh Bruner's first time working with Soriano, who she job-shadowed in high school.
Baugh Bruner wants to practice primary care and full-scope optometry, making her broad externship experience valuable. Thinking about her approaching graduation next year, she teased she's not turning down any early job offers. No matter where she practices, Baugh Bruner plans on always being an InfantSEE provider.
"Early detection is the biggest and best step you can take to improve a child's long-term vision health," she said. "This is my way I can give back to the community. Not only am I directly giving back to that child and that family, but it helps that I'm also instilling in their minds the importance of eye care for life."

Like many college students, Dan Mueller stands at a crossroads where he must choose a path forward at the University of Missouri–St. Louis that best reflects his personal interests while also allowing him to build a marketable skill set.
Although Mueller could see himself as a police officer, politician or accountant, community leadership will remain a constant for his professional and personal growth.
"Developing your character in every way is a big part of studying at a liberal arts university," said the Pierre Laclede Honors College sophomore. "Serving your community and meeting people is one of the best ways to develop different facets of your character. Learning how to do a little bit of service for other people can get you pretty far in life."
Making the most of his roles in UMSL Student Government Association, Sigma Pi, the Emerging Leaders program and the Pierre Laclede Honors College Association, Mueller has participated in the Altruistic Campus Experience project and the Big Event, among other community outreach programs.
He has planted flowers at the Early Childhood Center, cleaned up abandoned properties in Jennings alongside the police department and mediated relations between students, faculty and staff.
Campus Compact has recognized his years of community service and honored him with the Newman Civic Fellows Award, a national accolade that encourages undergraduate and graduate students who have taken action in pursuit of long-term social change.
"Getting the award was a complete surprise," said Mueller. "I opened my email, and there it was."
Mueller's achievement was no surprise to Jenna Bartak, coordinator of the Emerging Leaders program in the Office of Student Life.
"Dan is an exceptionally charismatic individual who became highly involved on campus right away," she said. "He has already become a strong leader within the UMSL student body, and I know that he will continue to grow as a leader and influence other students to become connected on campus."
Mueller attributes his leadership success to a keen focus on listening skills.
"The best way I find to relate to people is to just listen to them. If you sit down and have a conversation with someone you never met before, you can learn so much," he said. "We're all humans. We all have the same basic tendencies. If you compare someone else's story to your own, the circumstances might be different, but you'll find the emotions and the reasoning are generally the same. This way you can build common ground."
By facilitating understanding between himself and others, Mueller is able to lead by example.
"If I want to influence others to come and spend time at a service event, I'll tell them, 'Hey, I'm rolling up my sleeves, too,'" he said. "'You should come out with me and lend a hand.' And next thing you know, you've got a big group of friends having fun cleaning up."
For next semester, Mueller is considering changing his major from criminology to accounting as he weighs whether he can do more good through community policing or fundraising efforts. Either way, his contributions to his community will continue.
"I think there will always be a way for you to give, whether it's through philanthropy or hours or raising awareness for a cause," he said.
Five area students from among the hundreds who descended on the University of Missouri–St. Louis earlier this semester for the National History Day district contest are headed to nationals this summer.
The advancing students, who finished in first or second place in their respective categories at the state competition April 30, will travel next month to the University of Maryland in College Park, Md., for the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day finals June 12 to 16.
"Every year I am inspired by the work and passion the students bring to their National History Day projects," said Peter Acsay, associate teaching professor in the Department of History and coordinator of Missouri's Region 5 contest, which is sponsored as well as hosted by UMSL. "It is gratifying to follow some of these projects from the St. Louis region to success at the state level and beyond. But I am just as impressed by the many who do not advance but have on their own researched and developed an entry."
Among those representing St. Louis in the nation's capital this summer are Evan Cox of St. Margaret of Scotland School in St. Louis and Hannah Decker, Bridget Farrell, Tabitha Wilkerson and Jared Wilmas, all of Pattonville High School. Cox, whose teacher is John Adams, finished second at state with his entry "Herman Cortes and the Conquest of Mexico."
Decker and Farrell finished first at state with their group documentary "The Fight to Flight: Amelia Earhart." Their teacher, Janet Baldwin, also teaches Wilmas, who finished first at state with his website "The Fastest Innovators on Earth." Wilkerson was the second-place finisher in the same category, with her website "Auguste Piccard: Encountering and Exploring the Unknown."
UMSL's Department of History will offer a clinic for those advancing to the nationals, Acsay said, adding that he's excited to see how they will do at the final competition for the year.
"This is as hands-on as it gets," he said. "These middle and high school students make the transition from being 'consumers' to 'producers' of history. That is impressive."
Student who finished in third place at the state competition will serve as alternates. Those representing the St. Louis region include Ben Khotsyphon, Lilly Mitchell and Abby Wingron of St. Raphael the Archangel School for their "Berlin Airlift" entry; Julia Arbanas of Kirkwood High School for her "War of Cultures: American Ballet During the Cold War" exhibit; and Deanna Schmidt of Cor Jesu Academy for "Encountering Desegregation," a senior historical paper.
Making the state run-offs were Thaliyah Mosley of Westview Middle School, LeeAnn Rout of Jefferson Northwest R-1, Jillienne Hays of Pattonville High School, Audrey Kelly and Celia Rose of Kirkwood High School, Hannah Myers of Jefferson Northwest R-1, and Sophie Lodes, Holly Shah and Maggie Kutz of St. Joseph's Academy.
National History Day is the nation's leading program for history education in schools, annually engaging 2 million people in the U.S., Puerto Rico and overseas. For more information on the St. Louis contest sponsored by UMSL Admissions, the College of Arts & Sciences, the Advanced Credit Program and the Department of History, contact Acsay at email@example.com.]]>

No. 6 University of Missouri–St. Louis earned a runner-up finish at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament, falling to Indianapolis, 7-1, in the championship game. After having Saturday washed out because of rain, the Tritons were forced to barrel their way to the title game by winning three straight games. In all, UMSL played 30 innings of softball on Sunday, which included two extra-inning contests. Sophomore Jennah Perryman led the Tritons at the GLVC Tournament with 10 hits and six RBIs, while junior Alex Stupek added eight hits, five RBIs and five runs. UMSL (52-7) has earned a bid to its fourth straight NCAA Division II Tournament and will host Midwest Regional play this week. The Tritons will face crosstown rival Maryville in their opener on Thursday at 2:30 p.m.
Men's Tennis
UMSL advanced to the semifinals of the GLVC Tournament with a 5-3 win over Lewis in the quarterfinals. Indianapolis knocked out the Tritons, 5-0. UMSL (17-7) will await word from the NCAA on a possible tournament berth Tuesday night when the field is announced.
Women's Tennis
UMSL ended its season with a 5-2 loss to Indianapolis last Friday in the GLVC Tournament quarterfinals. UMSL scored at No. 3 doubles with seniors Chandler Duchaine and Natalia Carvalhais securing an 8-4 win, while at No. 6 singles, sophomore Annie Hays was a 6-3, 6-1 winner. The Tritons finish their season with a 17-8 record, which ties a school record for victories.
Men's Golf
UMSL begins play in the NCAA Midwest/Central Regional today in Allendale, Mich. The Tritons will play a total of 54 holes Monday to Wednesday.
Women's Golf
UMSL begins play in the NCAA East Regional today in Springfield, Ill. The Tritons will play a total of 54 holes Monday to Wednesday.
UMSL posted a 2-3 record last week. The Tritons lost a 10-1 decision at Southern Indiana during the week before, winning one of four against Missouri S&T in its home finale. Junior Nick Ulrey finished the week with six hits, including two doubles, while senior Jose Ortiz also recorded six hits. UMSL (25-20, 8-16 GLVC) travels to McKendree on Wednesday afternoon before a four-game series at Drury Friday to Sunday to conclude the season.
For two and a half decades, Michael Cosmopoulos has taken students to Greece where they immerse themselves in a rich intersection of history, archeology and mythology.
"Travel allows students to get to know other cultures and appreciate both the differences and similarities to their own," said Cosmopoulos, the University of Missouri–St. Louis Greek Studies professor. "When our students travel, they are exposed to other traditions, customs and social circumstances. In turn this expands their minds and helps them to develop critical thinking."
Cosmopoulos has facilitated student growth and engagement by inviting study abroad groups to work on the Iklaina Archeological Project, an interdisciplinary research project conducted in Pylos, Greece, that aims to discover more about Mycenaean civilization.
English alumna, Assistant Professor of English at Saint Charles Community College and part-time UMSL Gender Studies faculty member Bryonie Carter traveled with the Greek Studies program in 2005 and 2006. Along with field school in Pylos and excursions to Athens, she noted the journey to Cape Sounion as a major point of interest.
"Greek myths were my childhood bedtime stories, so traveling to Greece was a great opportunity to see where these stories originated," she said. "Cape Sounion is a crucial setting in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. In that story, after Aegeus, King of Athens, believes his son Theseus has died fighting the Minotaur, he jumps off a cliff in grief. This is why the sea that surrounds Cape Sounion is called the Aegean Sea. When I visited the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, I went to the very cliff where Aegeus might have jumped — or at least this is where archeologists would believe he jumped. Although myths have symbolic and literary value, connecting that value to a concrete place makes the myths more real."
Cosmopoulos also believes in the lasting power Greek myths have in culture throughout history.
"The most important contribution of Greek culture is that it helps us to understand our humanity. To make this knowledge accessible, the Greeks used stories that are timeless and useful today," he said. "The story of the Trojan War, presented in Homer's epic poem the Iliad, is a story about war and violence, and how it impacts our personalities. It is not an accident that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs uses the Iliad to help veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder."
While Carter used the Greek Studies program as a pathway to intensify her focus on symbolism, literature and language, senior anthropology major Corri Mader's study abroad experiences have firmly rooted her career path in archaeology.
"The exposure that I got from the studying in Greece made me more competent in my abilities as an archaeologist," Mader said. "Archaeology combines the best parts of psychology and history, allowing you to study the past through material remains, and I guess that's what drew me to it."
Mader participated in the Iklaina Archeological Project over the summer of 2015 and got her hands dirty unearthing artifacts.
"There's a lot of dirt to go through, and you're mostly worried about excavating as gently as possible, but then at the end, you've exposed a skeleton. You're standing over someone's final resting place. And you think about how the skeleton is posed. Are the arms crossed? Is it in a fetal position? Is it lying on its back? The pose and how the skeleton is perverted tells you about the culture, and when you find more, you're going to be able to give this find a story."
Years of providing students with unforgettable experiences has earned the Greek Studies program high praise. In honor of the program's 20th anniversary celebrated on Feb. 3, U.S. President Barak Obama and the President of Greece Prokopis Pavlopoulos wrote letters lauding the program's commitment to culture and education.
While Cosmopoulos mines the past for knowledge, he keeps an eye on the future and continuing the goals of the Greek Studies program.
"We are now at a crossroads as universities tend to reduce the teaching of humanities and liberal arts for the sake of skills-only education," he said. "Greek Studies stands firmly by what the true mission of the university is: to create educated citizens with critical thinking."
Whether lessons are learned in the past, present or future, Carter thanks the Greek Studies program for experiences that motivate her to this day.
"I took a nine hour ferry ride to Santorini, and I remember just feeling a sense of wonder as we passed these little homes and beautiful windmills on the island of Ios. In the middle of the Mediterranean, I realized how lucky I was to be there, and it really changed me," she said. "What Dr. Cosmopoulos was able to provide us with was so inspiring. My students probably get sick of my saying 'when I was in Greece…'"
When University of Missouri–St. Louis faculty member Sally Barr Ebest stepped into Lucas Hall 494 to attend a departmental reading earlier today, she didn't know that major congratulations were imminent.
UMSL Chancellor Tom George surprised Ebest on behalf of the University of Missouri System, awarding her the President's Award for Service. The seventh of eight UM System President's Awards to be presented to faculty in 2016, it includes a $5,000 award and recognizes faculty for distinguished service and exceptional contributions to achieving the university's goals.
Ebest, a professor of English and director of gender studies at UMSL, has been a constant source of service within the UMSL community for almost three decades. She joined the university in 1987 as director of freshman English and has since served as a mentor to hundreds of students.
Her work has elevated the level of mentoring provided to graduate assistants, resulting in numerous articles and research grants as well as a dramatic increase in the number of teaching assistant applicants to the university. In 2001, she developed UMSL's first campus-wide teaching assistant orientation and was the first in the country to expand the program to include a track for research assistants.
She also developed UMSL's graduate Certificate in University Teaching. The program allows graduate students from across disciplines to prepare for careers in teaching through course development, classroom and lab management, grading and assessment, scholarly productivity, use of technology and more.
"The teaching practicum enhances the UMSL experience by offering students practically the only opportunity for them to reflect on their teaching, to be observed and to receive feedback," wrote nominator Kathleen Nigro, associate teaching professor of English. "Through its format, CUT promotes social and academic interactions and high-impact learning experiences; moreover, it is used as a recruiting tool by departments such as psychology and political science."
In 2010, Ebest was named director of the UMSL Gender Studies Program. In this role, she has collaborated with all four UM System campuses to present a STEM symposium, initiated a new online Gender Studies certificate for students pursuing a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies and developed three certificate programs: Women's Leadership, Military and Veterans Studies, and Gender and the Military. In 2014, she led the planning committee for Missouri's first Transgender Spectrum Conference, which has attracted more than 400 participants annually and earned UMSL the Show Me Award sponsored by SAGE and PROMO.
"Sally is a leader in the mentorship of graduate students and junior faculty for excellence in university instruction. She is a visionary leader of the Gender Studies Program, known for fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations and bringing thought-provoking speakers and conferences to the St. Louis campus," wrote nominator Thomas Meuser, associate professor and director of the Gerontology Program.
Ebest has authored numerous books, including "Writing from A to Z," the royalties from which she assigned to a department fund to provide financial support for students to attend national conferences. She serves on the Mentoring Committee of the National Women's Studies Association and as an advisory board member to UMSL's Center for Teaching and Learning. She is a past recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence.
The UM System President's Awards are presented annually to faculty members across the four campuses of the UM System who have made exceptional contributions in advancing the mission of the university. Ebest will be formally recognized by UM System Interim President Michael Middleton during an awards celebration to be held in June.]]>

Overlap of government organizations is nothing new, but it is causing us undue difficulties with food contamination. Foods from foreign nations often are contaminated, creating a toxic food supply for our nation. The way we have divided the responsibility of inspecting our imported food may prevent us from fully resolving the issue.
Tag Archives: Toxic Imports
"Free Trade" Has Been and Still Is a Disaster for America!
"Free Trade" is a Disaster! When will we wake up to the realization that some of the agreements we have signed—most specifically our agreement with the World Trade Organization (WTO) and our agreement with Canada and Mexico, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)—are preventing us from doing what is in our best interests? Currently, we are being controlled and directed–told what to do–by other nations, for their benefit and to our detriment. Our current direction in so-called "free trade" is not just hurting us–it is destroying us.
More Disgusting News from the Crop Fields in Mexico
Mexican vegetable imports are getting out of hand. A couple of weeks ago, human feces were found in Mexican crop fields. A bulk of cilantro comes from Puebla, Mexico where investigators found human feces and used toilet paper in the growing fields. Not just that, but plastic crates and tables were found that were filthy were used to sort out the cilantro. The latest news is that 358 people have fallen ill in 26 states linked to that cilantro.
The Truth About Fish and Why It Is Not Always Good For You
Beware of the supposedly "healthy" fish you are consuming. We hear left and right from nutritionists that fish is healthy and good for our bodies. Little do they know, however, that that statement is no longer true since 80 percent of the fish we consume is imported from third-world countries. On top of that, the Food and Drug Administration is underfunded and does not have the resources to inspect more than 1 to 2 percent of the food imports coming in.
7 Reasons Why We Should Support Food Safety Bill
The amount of toxic imported seafood in the U.S. is getting out of hand. A whopping 84 percent of the seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported and over half of that comes from toxic fish farms. The Food and Drug Administration only has the resources to inspect 1 to 2 percent of the seafood coming in, leaving the majority of the fish unchecked! This has caused Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana to introduce a bill this week that would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ensure the safety of imported seafood. Here are 7 reasons why we should support this bill:

Chicago Sees 'Most Violent January In More Than A Decade'
I have a pretty good idea what a number of you will be thinking as you read this post:
How's that gun "control" working out for you, Chicago?
From John Byrne, David Heinzmann, and Bob Secter on the Chicago Tribune website late last night:
Following the most violent January in more than a decade and the high-profile slaying of a 15-year-old high school band majorette, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his police chief moved closer than ever Thursday to reintroducing the very police strategy they dumped when they took over in 2011.
Emanuel said he would move 200 officers off desk duty to bolster the size of roving teams aimed at suppressing outbreaks of murderous violence that have been on the rise in the city for more than a year.
"The most violent January in more than a decade."
According to the Crime in Chicago blog yesterday, 44 people were murdered and 160 were shot in the city last month.
Now, back on New Year's Eve, I noted that at the end of a year in which Chicago surpassed 500 murders (534 according to CIC), the number of beat cops was less than before Rahm Emanuel became mayor.
So, why not just hire more police officers then?
Byrne, Heinzmann, and Secter (sounds like a law firm) added:
The head of the police union said retirements and a lack of new hiring amid tight budget years has reduced the size of the force well below what is needed to keep the streets safe.
"No matter how City Hall slices the numbers or spins this issue, the fact remains we have less officers on the street now than when the mayor was elected," said Mike Shields, head of the Fraternal Order of Police.
At the news conference announcing his new plans, Emanuel said "you don't ask the taxpayers to pay for additional cops until you make sure you're using every cop on the payroll today effectively."
Personally, I think City Hall is well-aware of the significant, fast-approaching fiscal challenges that are in store for Chicago, so basically "what you see is what you get" could be the case for Chicago Police Department manpower. As things stand, taxes will be going up- significantly- but one has to wonder how much of it will be earmarked for the following, which I blogged about back on August 1:
The "Windy City" has a $25 billion pension crisis that will require property taxes to be doubled by 2015 (from an anticipated $476 million this year to $1.2 billion in 2015) if no changes are made to both retirement benefits and City of Chicago employee contributions.
Remember that $2.98 billion the city received when the Chicago Skyway and parking meters were privatized under former Mayor Richard M. Daley? Only $623 million remains.
The analysis comes on the heels of year-end audit findings that show Chicago is in the midst of a debt crisis, adding $465 million of debt in 2011 to a total long-term debt that's sitting at just over $27 billion.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Chicagoans- be prepared to bust out those wallets very shortly.
To wrap things up, one sentence in that Tribune piece really stood out for me. Byrne, Heinzmann, and Secter wrote:
But the events of this week show that tragedy can strike anywhere, and calibrating how and where to stretch those resources is difficult in a city with a deeply entrenched culture of violence.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"Culture of violence?"
Sounds like Second City Cop wasn't too far off the mark with that "Culture of Death" comment the other day.
Watch your six, Chicago.

For gods sake! PC gone mad… where will it stop….. I know I will be accussed of being Homophobic, I really am not, but these type of stories make me cross, I think its demeaning to the gay population to be highlighted as a minority, they are not! we are all different for gods sake!Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
"A new scheme promoting alternative lifestyles"- Sorry, was this article written by a gay journalist or a Christian fundamentalist. I thought we were trying to move on from the misnomer that homosexuality was a "lifestyle" choice and here we have a gay publication reinforcing that view. A VERY POOR choice of words.
The use of the phrase "alternative lifestyles" has been removed.
Until a two mums can have sex and have a baby, these gestures will remain meaningless -fairy tales indeed!

Apologies to the vets may not be necessary because it was respectful, but to all those kids who thought they were getting an action movie, they are waiting for your call.

Linkin Park- "One Step Closer" Lyrics
Artist: Wrestling Lyrics
Album: Combat Zone Wrestling
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)
I'm about to break!

Leavin' on a jet plane
"The graying of the IT workforce"
Federal Aviation Administration officials should begin preparing now because an exodus of retiring air traffic controllers could leave airports severely understaffed in a few years, according to a new General Accounting Office report.
The report predicted that half of all controllers — about 7,000 people — will retire during the next decade, and the nation's busiest airports would suffer the most. According to GAO officials, this prediction is especially worrisome because air travel has recovered since the industry's tailspin following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. According to government officials, the upcoming summer travel months could surpass previous summers.
"This problem is not sudden or unexpected," Ruth Marlin, executive vice president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's Aviation Subcommittee last month. "It jeopardizes the future of the system and America's leadership role in world aviation."
Among the agency's key hurdles, GAO officials found that the Transportation Security Administration's efforts to modernize traffic control systems have proven ineffective, despite consuming personnel resources. The report cited efforts to improve the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System that instead yielded a customized system that is costlier and takes longer to implement.
"Despite the importance of controller involvement in the development, deployment and refinement of new air traffic control systems, such activities can be very time-consuming, often take controllers off-line and place additional pressure on an already constrained workforce," the GAO report states.
The report noted that FAA officials do not have a strategy to address their hiring challenges, despite a report two years earlier that recommended the agency create a comprehensive plan. The FAA's challenges include the changing dynamics of the airline industry and air space regulations, limitations on training capacities and the length of time it takes to train new controllers. The Transportation Department's recent inspector general report also warned of dire air traffic control personnel shortages.
Attrition has an adverse impact on the remaining employees who experience heavier workloads and increased stress. It could create a cycle of retirements and staff shortages. GAO officials found that 33 percent of controllers said they would seek early retirement if faced with additional mandatory overtime.

"It's always hard to replace a great coach. I know that from my personal experiences, going into the Golden State situation where they had made multiple coaching changes and really had no stability as far as a coach, it was a much easier environment to come into because you could kind of do things exactly like you wanted. You could change the culture without having a lot of apprehension. The Sacramento situation was difficult for me, there's no question about it. Rick Adelman is one of the greatest coaches that the NBA has, and he had a system that the players were comfortable in. The players had success in it for multiple years in Sacramento and implementing a different style of offense than what they ran, which was kind of the corner series and some Princeton stuff, and they played off the elbows a lot, it was met with resistance at times. And for good reason, because they had been so successful.
But Mike is a proven winner. He proved that in Cleveland. At some point, change is going to happen and players understand that. The one thing with Mike is he's so prepared, he's so easy to get along with, that I think it will be a very, very smooth transition."
"It can be a work in progress at times to figure out style of play. Again, I revert back to Chuck Daly. He always used to say it took him 50 games to learn his team. I do think that there's some truth to that. After hearing him make that comment, every staff I've been on since then, right around that 40, 50 game mark you start figuring out exactly who you are. So it is a process for every coach in the NBA when you're in a new environment."

Fragmentation is not killing Linux
Trying to force people into roles for a collective purpose is a bit like communism, where the state forces people into jobs to build one super … ok ok I'll stop it. My point is you can't force people to contribute to projects they don't want to contribute to, so the idea of every distro being dropped to help support Ubuntu isn't going to happen. There's no boss here who can control the whole FOSS development resource like a big company. You just need to put this idea out of your mind. Accept it can't happen.
There is however more to discuss than just "can we coerce people to work together?". The following is just my opinion and I'm certainly open minded enough to change if people bring forward new points, so lets investigate some of the gripes people have with fragmentation.
"I continuously hear on Reddit tons of people saying Fragmentation is killing Linux. I think we all need to have this discussion."

This is the first official release for the RPi 3.
Casio Smart Outdoor Watch review: Android Wear climbs a mountain
Casio deserves a lot of credit for reshaping Android Wear into an original and unique new product, something I wasn't sure was possible. It overcomes many of the drawbacks of smartwatches while making total sense as a product in its category; if you're in the market for a hiking watch that also works as a smartwatch, and you use an Android phone, I think you'll be very happy with what Casio's produced. If you're not looking specifically for a hiking smartwatch? Maybe wait and see if Casio ever makes a G-Shock smartwatch, because this one really isn't the sort of thing you'll want to wear every day.

EU Slapping Cargo Vans With Carbon Tax
European companies using cargo vans in their operations could face higher costs after the European Union sets caps on carbon emissions for vans sold in the EU after 2013.
Automakers not complying with the caps would face fines, reports Reuters.
Automakers could face fines of $175 per vehicle for not meeting the new targets, which will be unveiled in October and are expected to largely mirror emissions caps previously announced for the general auto industry. That proposal faced stiff industry resistence, and a compromise agreement eventually was reached.
Under the plan, commercial vehicles smaller than 2.6 tons would have emissions capped at 175 grams starting in July of 2013 and 135 grams by 2020.
However, it appears that automakers are looking to weaken both the short-term and long-term targets, Reuters reports.

This is not a "carbon tax" – it is the imposition of performance standards on light vehicles. If you want to be taken seriously try providing a heading that reflects reality.
