As an alternative, you could also attempt including additional sugar to hold a yeast holiday and restore the yeast to prominence.

- Title
- Training system effectiveness
- Author(s)
- Selvarajah, Christopher T.
- Abstract
- Organisations are becoming more complex in the modern day setting. They tend to include a multitude of internal and external relationships, involving a number of sub-units and individuals. Kerr (1973) concludes that the nature of the formal organisation structure is so complex that the patterns of authority, responsibility and power are difficult to define. This is mainly due to the complex nature of the environment in which these organisational units operate. The purpose of this paper is to relate the theoretical studies of organisational effectiveness to the findings in the training systems effectiveness construct. As stated earlier, the study of systems effectiveness is futile without reference to all the factors that relate to the effectiveness of training systems. In this research overall training system effectiveness is related to the training subsystems. The four categories of training subsystems are: the control, the socio-technical, the psycho-social and the external interface subsystems. The training system effectiveness factors that are related to the four categories of the training subsystems are shown in Figure 1 at the end of this paper.

Fluval 206 reviews
I bought a 40B yesterday and it came with a light and glass top. My next purchase will be a filter for the tank and I have decided to try out a canister filter. I was looking online and came across the Fluval 206 for $89.99. The reviews had nothing but good things to say about the filter, so I was wondering if any of you have used this filter before. Any pros, cons, or other recommendations?
I have the 105, it's pretty good, probably functions as well as any, but there are issues that would probably keep my from buying again.
1 - no spraybar - had to make my own with plumbing supplies
2 - the quick release/shut off valve for the hose attachment is difficult to operate at times
3 - the brackets that hold the hoses over the side of the tank are cumbersome
Unless they've changed these things with the 06 models, I won't be a buyer. Looking around at alternatives, I think I personallly would go with either the Eheim classic 2211 (cheaper) or the Rena XP1 (probably about the same price, maybe a little more) rated at 40 gals and 45 gals, respectively
I am pretty much set on getting the Eheim Ecco Pro after reading a lot of reviews and watching some videos. Now it is just a matter of which model to get. The 2232 (35 gallons, 127 GPH) or the 2234 (60 gallons, 145 GPH). The filter is for a heavily planted 40 gallon breeder stocked with tetras. I'm just thinking out loud here, but feel free to chime in if you see any flaws in my thought. Your input is always appreciated.
The classic series is definitely old school and the ecco has added some nice features.
Looking at the specs, the 2232 is closer to the 2213 (rated for 66 gals) than the 2211 with regard to gph and filter capacity (Eheim website shows 106 gph for the 2232). I'm not a big fan of overfiltering (as far as the amount of current produced) so personally, for the set-up you describe, I would go with the 2232 even if it may be rated for a slightly smaller tank. You only really need it for mechanical filtration in a heavily planted tank anyway.
The only thing about the ecco is that it doesn't come with a spaybar. This may not be a big deal, especially since in a larger tank you may be able to diffuse the current more easily, but after seeing the difference in my tank with a spraybar vs single nozzle outlet I think it's worthwhile.
I'm a big fan of the new Fluvals. Wow!
The new design makes these so convenient to use now. The stop valve, better/quieter motor, and priming mechanism. When word gets around about these, you'll see them dent the HOB filters for the casual hobbyist too. The lack of spray bar is an issue I hadn't considered before (not an issue for me). Easily remedied for most of us, though.

I've been all over Mint Julep's latest album, Save Your Season, since its release in late November of last year.
A few weeks ago, you may remember that I featured my favorite track off the album, To The Sea. Well, do I have a good ear or what? To The Sea has just been released as the 3rd single off Save Your Season and if you haven't heard it yet, you need to. Holly's breathy vocal + dark synthy beat + a hook that won't quit = get into it.
Watch the (typically amazing) video for To The Sea below.

The measure of success
Published: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 3:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 3:46 p.m.
Editor: When we think of success we think of money, power and fame. In coaches lives, we think of success as wins and championships. Real success does not come to someone in just one area of their life. God created humans to be a successful parent, provider, partner and proclaimer. Coach (Mike) Crowell excelled in these areas.
Witnessing the events at South Davidson the week of Coach Crowell's untimely passing, he certainly achieved real success. Just as God did not create Adam to sit around all day, Coach Crowell did not just have a job, he had a profession. He had a passion for his community. He was often the first to arrive at school and one of the last to leave. He had been the head football coach the last five years and wrestling coach for more than 25 years. Crowell had also coached golf and girls' track. He would do what needed to be done.
But Crowell, as he was affectingly known to his students, was much more than just a coach or teacher. Present and former students took the stage at the South Davidson gym to present testimonies of what he meant to them. Children from broken homes would describe how he kept them in school by calling or sometimes even going to their house to pick them up. Some said that he was the father they never had. Crowell had a sincere interest in all students, not just athletes.
Crowell's wife, Kathie, always supported him. A fruitful and fulfilling marriage is a sign of real success. Crowell was a "giver" not a taker. He provided well for his family by working odd jobs to supplement his income. He taught his son to fish, to play ball and the importance of making an honest living. He was proud of the type of woman that his daughter had grown up to become. The character qualities he instilled in his children he modeled in his thoughts, words and actions.
The sign of real success is when God's hand smoothly guides our actions. The students and the staff at the school had that guidance. Just hours after his passing several hundred young men and women gathered at the football stadium honoring their coach, teacher and friend. The entire week the students at South Davidson conducted themselves in a manner that words cannot describe. The faculty, staff and the students all acted in a divine manner out of their respect for Coach Crowell.
The homecoming game was another testament of real success. Both teams honored Coach Crowell by walking out together and praying together before and after the game. One retired coach at the game stated that he had never seen anything like it in his more than 40 years in coaching.
Mike Crowell was more than just a coach. He was friend, a teacher and a mentor. In the few short years he was on this earth, Crowell made a difference; he was an example of real success.

Some of the sad details:
- Only four have returned to mining. Two others are selling fruits and vegetables out of a truck. One gives motivational speeches. The majority are unemployed.
- Edison Peña, the Elvis Presley-loving jogger, became the biggest celebrity of the group, appearing on CBS's Late Show and visiting Graceland. He's since been abusing drugs and alcohol.
- Multiple miners have been experiences nightmares and sleeplessness, and are on a regimen of sedatives and antidepressants.
- Many are waiting patiently to cash in on a planned Hollywood adaptation, which has yet to be written. (Oy. Bad idea.)

(WBIR-Jefferson County) A mother and her adult daughter were charged with theft and forgery after police said they stole thousands of dollars from a local Girl Scout troop.
Patricia Graf, 49, was arrested Monday on theft and forgery charges. She was the leader of Girl Scout Troop 20072 in Jefferson City.
Her daughter, Jennifer Bryant, 31, was an assistant leader and was charged with forgery. Both were released Monday evening.
Parents said what started as suspicions turned into a full investigation.
"We noticed that no matter how often we asked to see the finances, to see where the money went, it was just an outright refusal," said Timothy Cummings, who had two daughters in the troop. "It was apparently the chief motivation for her to push that troop so hard during cookie season to make more and more money. Every year was a record-breaking year for this troop."
The Jefferson City Police Department started investigating the possible theft in the fall of 2013. Officers said receipts from June of 2012 to June of 2013 showed the duo stole up to $5,300.
Cummings said Graf cashed in on sales beyond cookie season, which typically ends in March. Since his wife started a new troop, they have dozens of boxes of cookies leftover from 2013 that he said Graf bought to make money.
"What we have here are about 900 boxes of cookies from the last season that the former troop leader checked out from council on the last day of the cookie season," said Cummings.
10News called The Girl Scouts Council of the Southern Appalachians. Council officials said while there are exceptions to the rule, the organization did not give Graf or the troop permission to sell cookies in July of 2013. But, a picture posted in The Jefferson County Post on July 8th shows Graf and a few girls at a booth during a Dandridge car show.
"She was selling beyond the season to make money for herself," claimed Cummings.
Graf was dismissed as the leader in September. Cummings said his wife started the new troop to try and get things back on track for the girls.
"I don't want any parent or girl to be afraid to join Girl Scouts because the whole point of cookie sales is to teach ethical entrepreneurship to the girls," said Cummings. "We teach ethics and fair business practices now because this is the type of stuff that they're going to grow up with and hopefully change the world with when they become grown up girls."
Graf and Bryant are scheduled to appear in court in February. Jefferson City Police said they pulled bank records from the four years Graf was in charge, but could not disclose the findings due to the ongoing investigation.

Bond Providing Lady Sharks With Offensive Punch
Courtney Normandin
Sophomore Jordyn Bond, a 5-foot-10-inch combo guard, who transferred from Owens Community College in Ohio, is providing the Lady Sharks (2-1) with some much needed offensive punch this season.
Bond, who is averaging 18.8 points and eight rebounds per game, scored a season high 29 points in a 81-79 loss to Sante Fe College on Nov. 3.
"Jordyn is a ballplayer," said Lady Shark's Head Coach, Susan Summons. "She can attack you from multiple positions and is a solid rebounder who can get it done."
Bond, who played high school basketball at Romulus High School in Michigan, was a second team All-Conference player last year at OCC; she averaged 7.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
According to Bond, she left OCC after encountering academic issues. She found her way to MDC through a trainer who knew Summons, and the Lady Sharks are reaping the benefits now that Bond has fully recovered from a hyperextended knee that caused her to miss five games last year.
In addition to scoring 29 points against Sante Fe College, Bond snatched eight rebounds and added six steals. During the first game of the regular season, she scored 15 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had four steals.
"She [has] adapted very well," said Kiara Redman, a team manager for the Lady Sharks.
Bond said she knew the transition to MDC would not be easy. Growing up in the midwest, she is far from home.
"The practices are longer and harder, but to get to where I want to be, I knew I was going to have to step up," Bond said.
She eventually wants to play Division I basketball and in the WNBA, but for now, the focus is on making the best of her opportunity at MDC.
"I want to be known as one of the great players that came out of Miami Dade," Bond said.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Remnants of Skystone] Reason the game is dying
I feel almost alone, the only person to see this is vrdn: The reason for the game to die/to become dying/is dead/etc. is NOT the inaccessibility of weapons and other stuff. It's the fact that the game does'nt receive any attention from Flipline studios, the kreds play a role in making the game die a bit, its hard to actually make a balance system that involves getting money safely without ruining the game. Lots of players leave this game because they've done a lot, Sure there's new coop every week, but when's the LAST time flipline actually updated the game itself? The last time the game was updated, everyone was really excited. But all they got was more ways to spend money: Furniture. And when was that? That was in 2008! FOUR YEARS AGO! The game stopped updating. Try to look at other games in general, The ones which are good and recieve more content+bugfixes get high positive feedback. All this dying/dead stuff, is all because of lack of updates. <I can't use the originally posted thing for some reason, I keep making it look weird when it doesn't work>

"Great easy to listen story."
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
"Perfectly Fryed Potter"
Dark times have come to Hogwarts. After the Dementors' attack on his cousin Dudley, Harry Potter knows that Voldemort will stop at nothing to find him.

When Dumbledore arrives at Privet Drive one summer night to collect Harry Potter, his wand hand is blackened and shrivelled, but he does not reveal why.

Harry will need powerful magic and true friends as he explores Voldemort's darkest secrets, and Dumbledore prepares him to face his destiny....
"Twists, turns and shocks!"
The Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts. Only wizards who are over seventeen are allowed to enter - but that doesn't stop Harry dreaming that he will win the competition.

He will face death-defying tasks, dragons and Dark wizards, but with the help of his best friends, Ron and Hermione, he might just make it through - alive!
"Seriously Good Potter!"
As he climbs into the sidecar of Hagrid's motorbike and takes to the skies, leaving Privet Drive for the last time, Harry Potter knows that Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters are not far behind. The protective charm that has kept Harry safe until now is broken, but he cannot keep hiding. The Dark Lord is breathing fear into everything Harry loves and to stop him Harry will have to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes. The final battle must begin - Harry must stand and face his enemy....

"Should be taught in Primary Schools!"
When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves.... But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss....

"Loved it , characters were intriguing"
There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings. The story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.
"An Epic and Griping Tale"
Five hundred years ago no one died of stress: we have invented this concept, and now we let it rule us. Rest has become a dirty word, and our idea of satisfaction is answering the last email. We're sleepwalking through our own lives. Ruby Wax shows us how to wake up from this stupor with a scientific solution to modern problems: mindfulness.
The best things in life are never free. Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer.... Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him. But Cain is not a free man. And he's about to find out that when his wife Caroline said 'til death us do part, she meant it.

Patti Page: 1927-2012
For the longest time I thought this song was the reason Cape Cod went to the dogs — Patti Page sings a sappy song and the hordes come rolling over the bridges looking for the vision the song painted. Then, homesick and a coast away in California, in a pizza parlor way out in the Sunset of San Francisco on Clement Street, down to my last $20 bucks, a calzone, a pitcher of Anchor Steam, and a couple college buddies, I drop a quarter in the jukebox and there she was: Old Cape Cod. There's only one other song that is more evocative of the Cape gone-by, and that in my mind is the Thompson's Clam Bar jingle. Anyway, I punched in the buttons, sat down, picked up my beer, and toasted the Cape as she began to sing:

Thought this was a really nice mini-eulogy, David. I have to say, as a music nerd and jazz aficionado, I take it hard as each icon of the golden age leaves us. I always think of the "Great Day in Harlem" photo of jazz greats–Life Magazine re-staged it years later and it was chilling to see all the deceased musicians missing from it.
I wrote this piece when a documentary came out on the subject: http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/a-great-day-revisited/Content?oid=1191509
Hope you're well–think of you often here in the social media trenches.

13+ Beautiful and Touching Example of Black & White Photography
Black-and-white photography is the creation of monochrome images using photographic techniques. Through the use of either a traditional film camera or digital camera, the artist exposes an image media, such as film or a digital image sensor, to light. The light then affects the image media in such a way as to leave a permanent imprint of the scene on that media. This media is then processed to create a final image or photograph.
A modern black-and-white photography can be either film-based or digital. The process remains the same in that the film or digital sensor is exposed to light through a lens, and then the resulting image is processed either in a darkroom or by computer to create the final black-and-white image.
For me black and white photos are timeless and classy,and its also a challenge to some photographer to be able to send a message with the absence of colors.
Here are some of my favorite beautiful and touching black and white photography,i do hope you will enjoy it.

bought it the other day...washed it a few times with warm soapy water, but i cant seem to get the awful rubber taste out of it. is this just part of owning one, or is there a way to get rid of the flavor?
bought it the other day...washed it a few times with warm soapy water, but i cant seem to get the awful rubber taste out of it. is this just part of owning one, or is there a way to get rid of the flavor?
Mine has a rubbery taste, but it's not very strong. Mine is 5 years old now, so maybe it has worn off over time. You could try mixing some lemon juice in with your water which may cover the rubber taste as well as clean the reservoir.
got a good tip from the LBS on that one. go get some bicarbonate of Soda, pour a bit in, half fill with water and let it sit overnite. make sure you run some through the tube as well. empty it out in the morning and it shouldnt be so bad.
You don't need proof when you have instinct.
Im on the Floyd Landis Jack Daniels training program.
ok guys thanks for the help
I use a spoonful of Clorox beach mixed with all the water it can hold. Be sure to rinse thru the "straw" tube too. This technique can also aid in keeping mold & mildew from forming inside the bladder.
Rinse the whole thing out twice with clean water to remove the bleach taste....
BTW, I don't fill my packs with any type of sports drinks or anything containing sugars. This only contributes to the formation of molds if any residue remains in the bladder between fillings. Salt, I mean sport drinks are meant to be consumed "after" the workout anyway....
Yah, I do the soda routine as well. When your Camelbak is new, you may perform this process a couple of times to totally get rid of the taste.Originally Posted by HDTVKSS
I also do this every few weeks or so, just to keep my Camelbak nice and clean!

You can buy the camelbak cleaning tablets.
Best advise I had was rinse in water and lemon juice, it works no nasty rubber taste.
it is also worth buying the reservoir dryer to dry the bladder.
**********************************************************************Originally Posted by flyingscotsman
I've never heard of that one. I've been using a backpack type apparatus for 12 yrs. & never used one of those "dryers"....
The Camelbak Reservoir Dryer allows you to dry your Camelbak reservoir quickly and thoroughly. Developed specifically for Camelbak systems, the Camelbak Reservoir Dryer allows your reservoir to dry quickly and thoroughly. The collapsible design allows for easy insertion and removal without damaging filler port (stores great, too). Sections are designed to be trimmed to specific reservoirs to ensure complete drying of the reservoir. Can be trimmed to fit all Camelbak reservoirs except the AeroForm Baffled Reservoir.
CamelBak Reservoir Dryer
Bottom Line: Don't let your Camelbak reservoir get slimy with mold dry it out with this handy little accessory
I just use Chlorox every month to get rid of the mold/bacteria... Cost = .09 per cleaning.... That was a good idea nevertheless....
I only use the drying rack to keep ventelated but cleaning it I use Chlorox as well.
Try Dawn dishwashing liquid. It is very good at cleaning. About 1/2 tsp. in a cup of water vigorously agitated and rinsed through has cleaned all 3 of my Camelbak's very nicely.
Holy bringing back dead threads.
Wait wait wait... before you try any of the other advice in this thread, the Camelbak cleaning tabs are... gasp... DENTURE tabs!!! Yes, for like 1.99 you can get 100 of these tabs at Walgreens. Don't get the mint ones. They disinfect, disflavor, and clean very nicely with no excessive rinsing or scrubbing.
Honestly. I haven't ever cleaned mine out. (Haven't had it for long and haven't had any problems with it) I'm trying to find some good ways to clean without horrible tastes that get stuck in the bladder and make my water taste like sh*t.
To clean mine I just rinse it with scolding water then stick it in the freezer empty of course. Then when I need it just take it out fill it up and it works fine for me.

When most people hear David Schwimmer's name, the first thing they think of is his bumbling character Ross on NBC's mega-hit Friends. Sure, there's a couple fans of Simon Pegg that will stampede to his directorial debut of Run Fat Boy Run, but we all know that most will think of his television work.
Well, Schwimmer is distancing himself further from situation comedies with his new film Trust, which opens in limited release on April 1. Trust takes a darker angle than the bulk of Schwimmer's body of work, telling the story of a teenage girl who is targeted by a sexual predator online.
Finding the right star for a film like this is as challenging as getting a story about such a sensitive subject made. For the role, Schwimmer turned to then-14-year-old Liana Liberato to play the teenage lead of Annie. Liberato took some time to speak with Film School Rejects about how she handled such an emotionally challenging role.
"A lot of it was internal preparation, but I got a lot of help from David who's involved in The Rape Foundation," Liberato told Film School Rejects. "I was able to go to the Rape Foundation and listen to a girl who had actually been through something similar to what Annie went through. So that was very helpful, along with having David on set and him being so personable and always being open to talk to me about it."
The key to a film like this is developing an emotional bond among the cast, which also includes Clive Owen as Annie's father, Catherine Keener as her mother and Chris Henry Coffey as Charlie, the sexual predator. "I think that we all kinda made a point to bond during the filming process," Liberato said.. "Because of how beautiful the writing is and how raw it is, that kind of disintegration of what we'd built during that time on set just kind of naturally showed through the camera."
The biggest challenge for Liberato were her few scenes with Coffey, who hadn't even been cast when they started filming. "I had to keep in mind that whoever plays Charlie has to be extremely charming because he has to convince me to follow him into his car and go to the motel with him," Liberato said. "Chris did a phenomenal job. I think that he's an extremely talented actor. It takes a lot of guts to do something like that, and I really, really respect him for it."
Their scenes together were difficult for Liberato, not just because of the content. "My natural instincts would be to run," she said. "One of the hardest scenes for me was first meeting him just for myself personally, it was hard to really stay and talk to him."
Even with such heavy subject matter, Liberato said the atmosphere on set was surprising light. "People think just because it's a dramatic film, it's very hard on set, but it really wasn't at all," she said. "We had a lot of laughs, to the point that we couldn't be serious in scenes. We had to laugh. Everything was very lighthearted, and David definitely set the tone."
Prior to working on Trust, Liberato wasn't aware of the problem of online predators. "Of course, I was involved with MySpace and Facebook and everything at a very young age because it's so casual now, and I'm into texting obviously. But I've never been involved in any type of chat room. My parents are pretty cautious about it and know all my passwords and know who my friends are and who I'm talking to," she explained.
Still, she's just a regular teenage girl who isn't in any hurry to grow up. "I'm only fifteen years old," she said. "I've never had a serious relationship before. I'm very new to that as well."
Trust, starring Liana Liberato and directed by David Schwimmer, opens in limited release on April 1.

MoMA Nights with La Luz
Thursday, July 31, 2014, 5:30–8:00 p.m.
Musical acts for the 2014 series feature an array of vibrant, creative women who are making their mark on today's music scene. Veterans and up-and-coming artists perform a range of musical styles, including dream and synth pop, alt-folk, surf rock, neo-soul, and pop punk.
Tonight's Musical Performance: La Luz
Shana Cleveland guitar, vocals; Alice Sandahl, keyboard, vocals; Lena Simon, bass, vocals; Marian Li Pino, drums, vocals
The Seattle-based La Luz brings a relaxed beach-babe vibe to the sweet, thick harmonies of 1960s girl-group, garage, and doo-wop bands. Formed in the summer of 2012, La Luz is driven by thumping, energetic bass lines, danceable surf beats, trembling organ, reverb-soaked guitar, and a wild love of rock 'n' roll. Its music embodies that most elusive element of the human condition: longing, and the fleeting relief that tags along with deep desire. The band's first EP, Damp Face, was created with the help of friend Johnny Goss in a sweaty apartment across from the laundry room in a trailer park in Bothell, Washington. The initial run of 100 home-dubbed cassettes sold out after the band's first few shows, and in early 2013, Burger Records rereleased it. It's Alive, La Luz's debut full-length record came out on the Hardly Art label in October 2013. The band looks forward to inspiring damp-faced dance parties in clubs, basements, theaters, and backyard séances all over the world.
Set begins at 6:30 p.m. Regular Museum admission applies. Performances take place in the Sculpture Garden. In the event of rain, the Garden will close, and music will take place in Theater 1. Please note: Sculpture Garden and indoor seating are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Musical acts in July are presented in conjunction with the exhibition One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North. Organized in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center and Harlem Stage, each musician featured reflects the next generation of rising stars who will have an impact on jazz for years to come, and each has her or his own personal tale of migration. Drawing from genres including hip-hop, R&B, Latin, soul, jazz, gospel, and New Orleans second line, these artists are expanding musical boundaries with contemporary soul and swing.
Dates in August feature four buzzworthy bands. The music spans a range of genres from electronic to R&B, from post-punk to indie rock—and everything in between. Each concert begins with an opening set at 5:30 p.m. by a DJ from Newtown Radio. These evenings are organized by MoMA PopRally. For more information, visit moma.org/poprally and follow @MoMAPopRally on Twitter.
Snacks and beverages in the Sculpture Garden
Seasonal snacks, chef's-choice small plates, and specialty cocktails, draft beer, wine, and nonalcoholic beverages are available for purchase in the Sculpture Garden on Thursday nights. The Garden Bar, located at the northeast corner of the Sculpture Garden, sells savory and sweet treats, including baguette sandwiches and homemade soft pretzels with dipping sauces, locally made gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato, wine, beer, and specialty cocktails. In the event of rain, bars will be closed.
Terrace dining (rain or shine)
Terrace 5, located on the fifth floor, serves chef Daniel Jackson's light, seasonal cuisine, with a view overlooking the Sculpture Garden. During MoMA Nights, in conjunction with the Museum's concerts and other programming, Terrace 5 will offer a special of a half-dozen oysters paired with a glass of champagne for $20, both inside and (weather-permitting) on the terrace, as well as a focused à la carte menu of raw bar items, wine, and beer. The 10% MoMA member discount is not applicable.

Military Bloggers Call for DADT Repeal
Jim Burroway
May 12th, 2010
A group of influential military bloggers has issued a joint statement calling for the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell." The group of bloggers endorse holding off repealing DADT until the Pentagon finishes a study due December 1 on how (and not if) the repeal would be implemented. "We ask Congress to withhold action until this is finished, but no longer," the group says.
Sixteen military bloggers signed on to the statement, which Ben Smith characterizes as "often hawkish, critical of White House and military leadership, [and] devoted to both the First and Second Amendments." Bruce McQuain, one of the signatories, writes:
I've thought about it long and hard. I've actually changed my mind from years ago. I guess that's because I've known of and served with soldiers I knew were gay. And every one of them were good soldiers who served honorably and did an excellent job.
Another blogger, "Uncle Jimbo" recalls his evolution on the subject from five years ago, when he wrote:
"If I am lying by the road bleeding, I don't care if the medic coming to save me is gay. I just hope he is one of those buff gay guys who are always in the gym so he can throw me over his shoulder and get me out of there."
The complete statement is below:
We consider the US military the greatest institution for good that has ever existed. No other organization has freed more people from oppression, done more humanitarian work or rescued more from natural disasters. We want that to continue.
Today, it appears inevitable to us that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and law restricting those displaying open homosexual behavior from serving will be changed. And yet, very little will actually change. Homosexuals have always served in the US Military, and there have been no real problems caused by that.
The service chiefs are currently studying the impact and consequences of changing the DADT policy, and how to implement it without compromising the morale, order and discipline necessary for the military to function. The study is due to be completed on Dec. 1st. We ask Congress to withhold action until this is finished, but no longer. We urge Congress to listen to the service chiefs and act in accordance with the recommendations of that study.
The US Military is professional and ready to adapt to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell without compromising its mission. Echoing Sec. Def. Gates and ADM Mullen, we welcome open and honorable service, regardless of sexual orientation.

12 Signs It's Time to Get Out of Gaza
Operation Protective Edge needs to end.
More than three weeks ago, responding to rocket fire from Gaza, Israel launched a campaign of airstrikes against Hamas. Two weeks ago, Israeli ground forces went in. The balance of military power is so lopsided that Israel can do whatever it wants. But that freedom makes it difficult for the winning side to recognize when it's time to stop. Here are some clues that suggest that time is now:
1. Your enemy refuses to protect its people. Normally, if you invade a country and pound the daylights out of it, you can expect its government to seek, or at least accept, a cease-fire to stop the bleeding. Not here. Hamas has refused to endorse or honor a simple cease-fire despite the ridiculous imbalance of casualties.
Israel argues, correctly, that Hamas doesn't care about Gazan civilians. Hamas also seems fragmented, unable to make decisions. Arab governments aren't stepping in, either—they seem to hate Hamas more than they love Gazans. But the absence of competent advocacy for Gazans isn't a reason to keep shooting. It's a reason to stop. When your enemy shows no mercy for its own people, that responsibility falls to you.
2. You're killing too many civilians. Last time I checked, on a per-strike basis, Israel's rate of inflicting civilian casualties was lower than NATO's in the Kosovo war. But in just three weeks, Israel has launched so many strikes that its civilian casualty toll has eclipsed NATO's.
Even if you set aside mass-casualty incidents for which Israel has denied responsibility (sometimes with independent evidence), there are too many other cases in which its excuses don't begin to justify the death toll. On Wednesday, when the U.N. cited evidence that the Israel Defense Forces had killed 19 civilians in an artillery strike on a U.N. school, Israel said it was only shooting back at militants who had fired mortars "from the vicinity." On Thursday, an airstrike apparently injured 15 Gazans at a U.N. school during a strike on a nearby mosque (presumably targeted for housing military assets). Another 17 people died in a strike on a market on Wednesday. An Israeli military source told reporters that in two of these cases, terrorists "fired at IDF troops ... and our troops returned fire. It may be that one of our shells fell in the market."
That's unacceptable. There's nothing "pinpoint" about these strikes. What's happening is entirely predictable: Israel has shifted from guided weapons to old-fashioned shelling. Everyone, including Israel, knows that this will increase the error rate, with lethal results. "When they started naval bombardment, artillery and tank fire, that's just not as accurate as airstrikes," says a U.N. official in Gaza. "They can't see what they're shooting at."
3. Your civilian protection measures are failing. I've praised the IDF for its exemplary double-layered warning system: phone calls to residents of buildings, followed by dummy bombs designed to scare people out of the building before the real strike hits. The IDF has also robo-called and leafleted neighborhoods, warning people to clear out before the area is invaded. But these measures are failing. Some people never got phone calls. Others misunderstood the dummy bombs and went back into their houses, thinking the strike was over. Some stayed in targeted neighborhoods, afraid to move. Others moved only to end up in places they mistakenly thought were safe. The further the IDF advances into overpopulated Gaza, the harder it is for civilians to find a refuge. At some point, you have to acknowledge that your worthy efforts aren't enough.
4. Your mission and methods keep expanding. First the IDF was just going to hit Gaza from the air. Then it went in on the ground, but Israel assured everyone that the target was just the tunnels. Then Hamas killed a bunch of Israeli soldiers in a surprise attack, and Israel retaliated with widespread shelling. This week, the Israeli air force has been hitting 100 to 200 targets a day. How does that fit a campaign against tunnels? The strikes are on suspected weapon storage sites and "homes of terrorists." Israel keeps moving the goal post, redefining the conditions that would meet its vague objective of "sustainable quiet." That's the beginning of mission creep. Where does it end?
5. The payoff is declining. In the early days of the ground invasion, the IDF bragged about all the tunnels it had found. But in the last few days, the rate of discovery has trailed off. To find the rest, Israel would probably have to expand its areas of operation in Gaza, and that means more gunfire, bombing, shelling, and civilian deaths. Israeli soldiers would die, too. On Wednesday, three of them were killed on a tunnel mission.

You can get them with a flag on the front, your favorite flower, or maybe even one with a with a picture of an honored national figure. Postal stamps are ever changing and now the cost to get one will as well.
Anyone else who plans on sending out a first class letter, will be spending more money on these, the new 39 cent stamp. The reason? Beaufort County postal workers tell WITN since the last postal rate increase 3 years ago, Congress has mandated that postal workers overfund their own retirement plans to the tune of 3 billion dollars per year. Workers couldn't go before our cameras for an interview but say, it's not just the stamp, but across the board, all other services and products will increase for consumers at a rate of 5 percent.
Congress has earmarked the new rate change to go into effect at midnight Saturday night.
