Hey Guys,
What the roadmap on getting the Outlook Connector to be able to open another users calendar. I have people that are currently using Outlook/Exchange just for calendaring. They share their calendars with their admin assistants who enter all their appointments/reminders for them in Outlook. Right now the only way I can see to do this is to create a different profile with the executives zimbra info. I really don't want the admin assistants to have full access to the executives email....just the calendar. In Outlook they have it setup shared on the Exchange server and they just click a link in the Outlook bar to open. They need to keep using Outlook instead of adding cal events in the web client. Can we get something like this in the next release of the Outlook connector?

R. Crumb, Countercultural Icon
Being a fan of the comics medium, it's fair to say that I was excited to see R. Crumb's recently released Book of Genesis, which illustrates the first book of the Old Testament. An icon of countercultural underground comics, Crumb gained infamy in the 1960s and 70s with outlandish stories that ranged from surreal sexual fantasy to scathing social critique to drug-addled nonsense. One might expect his take on the Bible to be cynically irreverent, if not downright blasphemous.
However, the artist also has a history of presenting sober and nuanced works of biography, with subjects such as writers Franz Kafka and Philip K. Dick, and a variety of American blues musicians. He applies this more refined approach to Genesis, drawing on research to inform the look of the peoples and places of the Bible, and he includes the full text (as translated by Robert Alter), without abridgement or interpretation.
Old Testament Comic
The story of creation gives way to the history of humankind as descended from Adam and Eve. Lengthy lists of generational offspring are interspersed with sometimes-puzzling stories of sibling rivalries, tribal feuds and alliances, and more than a few odd bedroom affairs. As a first-time reader, I was pleased to find that Crumb has included an appendix with research notes on each chapter. These were particularly helpful when addressing the roles that women such as Sarah and Rebekah played. Crumb suggests, drawing on Savina Teubal's book Sarah the Priestess, that many oddities in Genesis may be explained by the existence of matriarchal priestess societies, which were being usurped by patriarchies during this time.
I found this to be very interesting material on multiple levels, brought to life by Crumb's detailed illustrations of the characters and settings. Masterful pen-and-ink crosshatching and realistically expressive likenesses of characters bridge the gap of thousands of years of history.
NPR has an interview with Crumb, along with a preview of the book , called 'Genesis': R. Crumb Illustrates The Bible. To read the book, please come borrow one of our copies.

There's been some speculation that Jay-Z doesn't own as much of the Brooklyn Nets as he lets on, with some stating that he only holds a stake of one-fifteenth of one percent. Dr. Cornel West, who has been friends with Hov for some time, recently spoke on the
"Jay-Z came from the Marcy projects, but look at him now. He owns the whole - no, he owns one-fifteenth of one percent of the whole stadium. Let's get it right, now," he said. "They got a Russian gangster who owns 80 percent."
He said that Jay should be held accountable for how much he actually owns of the team and that he's only encouraging him to be honest "out of love."
"Now I love Jay-Z, I've spent much time with the brother. He's a lyrical genius. But we've got to tell him the truth," he said. "Tell the truth, Jay-Z. You tell the truth on Reasonable Doubt in 1996, that's what he started out with. He's telling the truth, we love you negro. But we gon' make sure you're accountable too. All of us in this together, and I'm saying it out of love."

Business North Carolina's
Best Hospitals
Best Hospitals
The best of health
For the third consecutive year, Rex Hospital tops Business North Carolina's annual ranking of Tar Heel hospitals. A partner of Chapel Hill-based UNC Health Care since 2000, the Raleigh hospital achieved the highest composite score on the list, which is based on 18 criteria. Rex, founded in 1894 by tanner John Rex, distinguishes itself because fewer of its patients are readmitted or suffer complications from surgeries. The 660-bed hospital scored high in patient satisfaction, which reflects considerations including attentiveness of staff, cleanliness and a patient's overall outlook on their stay.
Click here to view a slideshow of the 10 Best Hospitals.
The rankings include the state's adult, acute-care hospitals with 50 beds or more. Specialty hospitals and government hospitals, including those run by the Veterans Health Administration, are excluded. Scores are calculated by examining data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, U.S. News & World Report and The Leapfrog Group, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that advocates for hospital transparency. New criteria for 2015 include overall hospital readmission rates and readmission rates for hip and knee replacements, which Medicare reported for the first time last year. Other metrics include readmission and death rates for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia. More weight is assigned to some criteria, such as patient satisfaction.

Patient picks
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems is a survey administered to adult hospital patients between 48 hours and six weeks after discharge. These are the top acute-care hospitals in the state with 50 or more beds, based on the percentage of patients who would recommend the hospital to others, as of December 2014.

Film, Class: Roger Ebert's Passion for His Work Should Inspire Us All
When Roger Ebert announced on April 2 that he was taking a "leave of presence," it was a shocking reminder that the seemingly indefatigable movie critic and author was human after all. He just seemed superhuman with the prolific amount of content and critiques he culled together over his career.
But even with the announcement, somehow it didn't even dawn on me that the end would be so near for the Chicago Sun-Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, who died April 4 at the age of 70. It seemed unfathomable to me that he had penned his last words. While I never met the man, I feel like I lost a friend, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. He had a way of connecting with people that was uncanny.
With the health issues he dealt with later in life, no one could have criticized him for withdrawing from his work. But he didn't. He remained in the workforce until the end, and in the process became an inspiration to the millions of people who followed his career.
As a child growing up in the '70s and '80s, my brother or I would turn the dial on our TV—we didn't have a remote back then and there were only a few channels to choose from—and stumble upon the PBS show Sneak Previews or later At the Movies. It starred Ebert and the Chicago Tribune's film critic, Gene Siskel. I was captivated. Thumbs up, thumbs down. At the time, I was a Siskel guy. I always felt he was more critical of the films he reviewed, and I liked that "let 'em have it" attitude. Of course, Ebert panned his fair share of movies, but it always seemed gentler.
After Siskel died in 1999, Ebert carried on. He would team with a number of different hosts until he finally chose the Sun-Times' Richard Roeper to be his permanent partner on At the Movies With Ebert & Roeper. The two would work together until Ebert's health wouldn't allow him to continue on television.
As I matured, I came to appreciate Ebert for something that was lost on me as a child: his humanity. And I say this to intentionally contradict what I said in the beginning—Ebert was indeed always human. The organic quality that emanated from everything he wrote or spoke paid tribute to the deep appreciation he had for life and the cinematic world in which he thrived. He also never let his many health issues stop him from carrying on the work that he loved so much.
He lost his speaking voice following a cancer-related surgery, but he never lost his voice. He kept writing and working, continuing to review hundreds of movies each year. And I can never recall reading a "woe is me" comment from him. He lost the ability to eat and drink, but he said that didn't bother him as much as not being able to converse with friends and family over meals.
Ebert's path over the past few years couldn't have been an easy one, but his perseverance should be an inspiration to people everywhere who are dealing with health issues—whether it be employees or their employers. For workers, they shouldn't feel that their careers have to end because of a serious illness. They can still be productive, even if they aren't physically able to do some of the things they once did.
And companies can learn a lesson, too, about supporting people with serious illnesses and making some accommodations to help those people remain a part of the team, as my colleague Rita Pyrillis wrote about in her enlightening article about cancer in the workplace. To help companies learn how to help people deal with cancer, for instance, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and National Business Group on Health have a helpful reference guide.
The balcony is now closed forever with Ebert's passing, but his lessons on passion and compassion should never go away.

Sandia National Laboratories has become a pioneer in large-scale passive optical networks, building the largest fiber optical local area network in the world.
The Sandia network pulls together 265 buildings and 13,000 computer network ports and brings high-speed communication to some of the labs' most remote technical areas for the first time. The network will save an estimated $20 million over five years through energy and other savings and not having to buy replacement equipment. Sandia expects to reduce energy costs by 65 percent once the network is fully operational.
Sandia, which will spend about $15 million on the project, needs superb computing capability for the problems it tackles as part of its support for the mission for NNSA.

Using equipment that expands on technology funded by NNSA's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program, an international team has achieved the first successful measurement of the spin rate of a supermassive black hole. The team included scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In addition, Livermore's High Energy Focusing Telescope served as the predecessor to NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, which was used to complete the study. The findings are significant because they enhance scientists' understanding of how black holes and galaxies evolve.

Valdosta, GA -
If two 16 year olds in a consensual relationship send each other naked photos, they could face felony charges of child pornography. But that is expected to change now that House Bill 156 has been passed by Georgia's senate and house. The new bill would make it a misdemeanor. Which has Valdosta divided.
Valdosta resident Kusheka Goodman said "they should have kept it the same as it was [a felony]."
Another Valdosta resident said "it can lead to pregnancy, you can end up with sexually transmitted disease."
Valdosta resident Shiela Johnson said "I don't think they should be charged with felonies or even misdemeanors. Because by the time they're twenty one years old you already got all these charges. It's hard enough for them as it is being a kid."
The bill also closes a child pornography loophole. prosecutors will soon be able to go after anyone who advertises online for minors involved in the sex trade.
Valdosta resident Dennis Follendore said "they should be prosecuted, fined. Yes sir I do, you know how would they feel if that was their kids. Yes I do I think they should be prosecuted to the fullest max."
The bill now goes to Governor Nathan Deal for his signature to make it law.

I wish I could be at least as dirty as this with Illustrator, all the time.
Good job!
This one was really quick-and-dirty. I needed a deckplan fast, so I knocked this one out before my game this week.
I wish I could be at least as dirty as this with Illustrator, all the time.
Good job!
Nice! Very clean.
Yeah, it's mostly a matter of just getting really comfortable with the Pen tool. I use Bezier splines almost constantly at work, so it's really natural to me.
The fuel tank also wraps over the top of the ship. It carries 30 "tons" of fuel, but Traveller tons are not equivalent to real-world tons. 1 ton = 14 cubic meters, and the volume shown accounts for about 20 tons.
Little information is given in the base rulebooks concerning the power plant, but it does say that the fuel is typically hydrogen, which leads me to believe that the ships are fusion powered.
Interesting. Let me know if you need a publisher for it.
Now that's an interesting idea. I hadn't thought of publishing, but some passive income would certainly be nice, particularly if it's earned from something I'm going to be doing anyway. Do you happen to know what kind of a market is out there for deckplans in this style? I'm assuming pdf would probably be the way to go for something like this.
As they are now, you could publish them as a stand alone booklet. I'd be glad to help you put it together, including helping with the write up, and stating. I'd price it at about $2.00 on DriveThru.

Steppin' OutWritten by on August 12, 2002 Replacing Doorsills and Rocker Panels on '55-59 Chevys
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. The same is true of custom-crafted pickups, especially when you open the door to let a passenger climb in. Will that guest be greeted by nice carpet and custom paint, or frayed fabric and rust holes?
On '55-59 Chevy pickups, passengers enter the cab using a wide doorsill, one that can be likened to a step or running board that sits inside the doors. As you'd expect, these sills take a beating over the years and are often riddled with dents and rust--not the sort of qualities that make good first impressions. Fortunately, replacement panels are readily available and not too difficult to install. Over the next few pages we'll be showing you the highlights of such a procedure using a pair of replacement panels from Brothers truck parts.
Our patient for this operation is Paul Darden's '59 Chevy cab, which you may remember from last month's "Perfect Patch" story chronicling cab corner replacement. Once again our surgeon is Bryan Fuller, one of the metalworking masters at GMT Quality Metalwork & Fabrication in
Huntington Beach, California. Compared to last month's cab corner surgery, the doorsill replacement is a little more cut-and-dried since the panels fit along factory seams. In other words, you don't have to figure out where to cut and splice because the seams are already there to work with. That doesn't mean that the procedure is a total cakewalk, though, because drilling out the spot welds along these seams can be a time-consuming chore in itself. Just like with anything else, patience and perseverance will pay off if you take things one step at a time.
As we mentioned last month, Bryan's first task before replacing anything on the truck was to make sure the cab was square and the doors fit properly. This meant adjusting hinges and doing some "convincing" on the door openings using a Porta-Power. "The cab has a lot of its strength in the rocker panels [which are part of the sills], so it's a good idea to have the doors fitted and on while doing this operation," Bryan says. "That way you can check the door gap on the bottom of the door as you're installing the rocker. You wouldn't want to get it welded in, hang the door back on and find it doesn't shut because you didn't double check."
With everything square and the cab thoroughly braced, Bryan made his rough cuts, slicing out most of the old sills with a plasma cutter. Getting the bulk of the old metal out of the way made it easier to concentrate on the next chore--drilling out the spot welds.
When cars and trucks are welded together on an assembly line, spot welds are the most common means of securing panels to each another. It's called resistance welding--where two (or more) panels are sandwiched between electrodes and zapped by current until the metal is molten and becomes one. When one of those panels needs to be replaced, the spot welds must be drilled out so the parts can be separated. Most auto body suppliers carry special bits designed for drilling spot welds that make the task a lot easier, although panels will often need some additional convincing to come apart after sticking together for so many years.
Once the old sills are out you'll need to make any necessary repairs to the flanges (fixing rust holes, hammering the metal straight, etc.) before trial fitting and installing the replacement panels. From the factory the L-shaped sill panels sit on top of the lower flanges and vertical flanges, and slip behind the upper flanges where they meet the floor. Bryan did the same with the replacement panels, although he opted to position them on the outside of the upper flanges so the welds would be hidden. He held the sills in place using Cleco-style clamps, then plug-welded the new panels using the holes from the spot welds.
Plug welding the panels may seem pretty self explanatory, but Bryan had a few words of advice on this matter. "When welding spot welds, most people don't turn the heat up enough," he says. "Do some test pieces with the material size and some 5/16-inch holes to test. If done right, the welds should turn out almost flat, requiring little grinding."
As we mentioned before, the rocker panels on these trucks are integral parts of the doorsills. They tie into the cab corners with a seam at the rear of door, where the rockers overlap flanges on the cab corners. Since the cab corners on this truck were being replaced too, all of the old stuff was just cut away and the junction recreated with the new parts (the seam was welded smooth for a cleaner appearance). If your cab corners don't need replacing you have a couple of options. You can drill the spot welds of the seam, separate the panels, then weld them back together like original. Or you can cut the rocker ahead of the seam, trim the replacement panel accordingly, butt weld the old metal to the new, then grind and finish this new seam until it disappears. As we showed you last month, Bryan also welded a piece of 1 1/4-inch tubing along the back side of the rocker panel, adding some extra strength to this damage-prone area. This bracing should also prevent excessive flexing, which Bryan wanted to minimize after welding the rocker panel seam.
The accompanying photos highlight the basics of Bryan's doorsill surgery. Check 'em out and see what it takes to get an old Chevy steppin' out in style.

Off with the old and on with the new. Though the old doorsill on this '59 Chevy looks fairly decent in this photo, GMT's Bryan Fuller felt it would be just as well to replace the whole panel rather than patch and fix the multiple trouble spots. The replacement panels are from Brothers truck parts.Bryan used a plasma cutter to quickly get the bulk of the old metal out of the way. This isn't totally necessary, but makes things a little easier when you start separating the panels at the flanges.To make the repair as clean as a factory installation, Bryan separates the panels at the seams. This process begins by locating all the spot welds and drilling pilot holes with a small drill bit.Drilling spot welds is made easier and cleaner if you use a spot weld drilling bit like this. These are available through auto body suppliers or specialty outlets like The Eastwood Company.It's probably unfair for us to jump ahead to this photo because it makes the process of panel separation look so easy. Nevertheless, this is what you're aiming for--bare flanges ready to accept new panels. A little prying persuasion is generally necessary to separate the panels after the spot welds are drilled out, so the flanges will typically have to be straightened out with a hammer and dolly. We should also note that the panel is not just attached around the perimeter--notice the support brace in the center.Bryan uses a weld-through primer (phosphate-rich) to cover the bare metal flanges before trial fitting the new panels. The primer will help prevent corrosion within the seam once the panels are welded together.Next the new door sill panel is trial fit in place. Note that Bryan also has the replacement cab corner mocked in place at this point. Since the two panels join together, it only makes sense to make sure they fit together properly before beginning to weld either one.With proper fit achieved, Bryan holds the new sill panels in place using Cleco-style clamps. You can see here that Bryan strayed slightly from OEM specs by placing the new sill panels on the outside of the upper flanges, rather than slipping them behind the flanges. This will simplify the repair and make the finished product tidier by keeping all the welds on the back of the panels.
A look at the rear of this sill shows how it fits together with the new cab corner. Note how the rocker panel portion of the sill panel overlaps the cab corner where they join. This seam was spot-welded from the factory, but Bryan eventually welded the seam shut and metalfinished it for a cleaner appearance.Now it's finally time to begin welding. Bryan uses a TIG for most of his work, although a MIG machine would work fine for a repair like this. As mentioned before, the sill panels were primarily plug welded on the back side using the drilled-out spot weld holes, but Bryan also had to fill a few Cleco holes on the top sides. (All seams were coated with seam sealer on the back.) Note that this cab corner has been tack welded in place at this point, and the seam between it and the sill panel is already welded and ground smooth.A view from underneath and a couple from up top show the repairs after welding and finishing. Pretty slick, huh? The panels look as good as new originals -- even better because most of the welding was done on the back of the panels, hiding the welds and eliminating a lot of finish work. Spray on a little primer and they will be ready for prep and paint.

ATLANTA -- Roman Catholic organizations in the Atlanta region have been told to end their support for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure cancer charity.
In an internal memo disseminated Monday, October 1, 2012 to all parishes the Archdiocese of Atlanta gave credit to Komen for its work in finding a cure for breast cancer, but took issue with the foundation for a larger reason.
"The Archdiocese of Atlanta acknowledges the beneficial work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the area of breast cancer education screening, treatment, and programs for those in financial need. We are also aware of the concrens raised regarding grants given by some Komen affiliates to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider and promoter of abortion, a group whose goals and activities are in direct opposition to the teachings of the Catholic Church on the sanctity of human life."
While Komen has contributed money to Planned Parenthood on a national level, that is not the case in Atlanta. The local Komen affiliate hais said it has never given funding to support Planned Parenthood Southeast. Komen officials said any decrease in funding impacts its ability to serve women.
Catholic officials said social media postings by the Komen affiliate in Atlanta made church officials think local members of the cancer charity were working behind the scenes to overturn a now-dropped ban on funding to Planned Parenthood.

|Medical marijuana ordinance adopted
|Written by Chris Lee
Medical marijuana dispensaries and grow operations within Holyoke city limits will be prohibited following the city council's vote to adopt the ordinance at their Tuesday, Oct. 19 meeting.
The vote was on a first reading of the ordinance and will be voted upon again after a public hearing at the Wednesday, Nov. 3 meeting.
Council members adopted an ordinance in October 2009 placing a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries until the council could come up with something for regulation.
City Attorney Al Wall reported on a conference he attended recently. The main topic of conversation was related to medical marijuana. He noted a lot of towns are moving forward with ordinances similar to the one Holyoke passed on first reading last Tuesday.
The ordinance states it is unlawful for any person to operate or permit to be operated a medical marijuana center or cultivation operation within the city. All such uses are prohibited in any location within the city, or within any area annexed to the city in the future.
A full version of the ordinance may be found in the Oct. 28 print issue of the Enterprise.
Another item on Tuesday's agenda included the business lease for Veronica's Hair and Nail Salon. There was some discussion as to whether to keep the lease at three years or drop it to one year. Council members also suggested increasing the lease from $175/month to $200/month as they felt $175 was fairly low.
The council voted 4-1 to increase the rent to $200/month and have the lease signed for one year instead of three. Ray Bailey voted no; Orville Tonsing, Brian Akey, Steve Moore and J.C. Peckham voted yes; and Kevin Scott and David Churchwell were absent.
Dangerous building to be taken down
Mayor Orville Tonsing addressed the status of demolition on the Baldwin building located on West Denver Street. The council received a letter from the owner prior to the Sept. 21 meeting stating demolition would begin within 30 days. The 30 days were up Oct. 20 and council members were concerned with the progress.
City Supt. Mark Brown said he spoke with the owner prior to the letter being received in September. Brown said he was told Greg Koellner of Koellner Enterprises was hired to take the building down. When contacting Koellner before the 30 days were up, Brown was told by Koellner he had been called and told he was no longer the one in charge of the demolition.
Councilman Akey said the owner told him a group from Wray was contacted to complete the job at a lesser rate. However, the new contractor possibly wouldn't be able to begin until November. The owner was going to be contacted Wednesday, Oct. 20 to clarify progress on the project.
Reports of city officials
Council members heard a report from Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer. He said officers have picked up patrol efforts in school zones and have issued tickets to those traveling too fast. He also said the department has investigated multiple traffic accidents. One included a car colliding with a bicycle.
Council member died Friday
Council members were saddened by the news that councilman Ray Bailey died Friday, Oct. 22. Services were held Wednesday, Oct. 27 at Phillips County Event Center.
Just three days before his death, Bailey updated the council toward the end of Tuesday's meeting on the CML Policy Meeting he attended recently. He had many good things to report and urged his fellow council members to attend the meeting in the future.
Other business
In other business Oct. 19, council members:
—allowed Supt. Brown to advertise the city will be accepting bids for the half section of farm ground.
—allowed Tonsing to sign the Colorado Discretionary Aviation Grant Application for apron expansion phase II in 2011.
—held a 40-minute executive session for a conference with the city attorney to discuss specific legal questions.
—renewed the volunteer accident medical plan with CIRSA for 2011.
—accepted the 2011 quote and renewal for Boiler and Machinery insurance from CIRSA at $945.92.
—approved liquor license renewal for First Dragon Chinese Restaurant.
—approved travel request for Rich Wittman to attend basic meter course in Scottsbluff, Neb. Nov. 3.
—noted the next regular meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. 3 instead of Tuesday, Nov. 2.
—held a short work session for the 2010-11 budget.

What does Shane Costa have to do to get in the line up? What is he, ten for his last ten. Sure seems like it. He has led the PCL in hitting on at least one occasion. What does he have to gain by being sent back to AAA? Does the fact that he is out of options play a role on why he can't showcase his talents. If he did play more this spring, other teams might realize how good he truly is and claim him if the Royals try to send him to the minors where he truly does not belong.
What does Shane Costa have to do to get some playing time? What is he, ten for his last ten? Sure seems like it. What does sending him back to AAA do for his development? He has led the PCL in hitting on least one occasion. Does the fact that he is out of options have anything to do with the fact that the Royals are not playing him. Obviously if he plays and does well, it will be extremely difficult for them to send him down to the minors. I am sure someone will claim him and he will not make it through waivers. Doesn't sound quite right nor fair to me. It appears that the Royals are trying to "hide" Shane before sending him down. He truly does not belong in the minors. He has nothing to gain by playing there nor anything to prove.

Iowa Remains Dry
(LeMars) -- Despite the wide spread rains of last week, Iowa is running short on moisture levels. The hot and dry summer have all but depleated most moisture from subsoils. Iowa climatologist Harry Hillaker says the southeastern region of Iowa is the driest, even though it started out the season as the area with the most moisture. He says even northwest Iowa has shown signs of dry conditions.
Listen here
Hillaker says under normal conditions Iowa generally gets enough rain and snow during the fall and winter to replenish the subsoil moisture levels to accomodate spring planting needs.
Listen here
The state climatologist says LeMars has received only half the amount of rainfall during the summer than for normal years.
Listen here
Hillaker believes the hot, dry days of summer are behind us, and now the weather will showcase autumn weather with cooler temperatures, but he doesn't anticipate much rain in the near future.

(Undated) -- Today, of course is Labor Day. Often thought of as the end of summer. But you may have wondered how did Labor Day get its start? The origins of Labor Day go back as far as 1882 when on this day, September 5th, the Central Labor Union of New York first observed Labor Day. It was first proposed by Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor in May of 1882. Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day a holiday in 1887, and by 1894, 30 states were officially celebrating the holiday. Perhaps the greatest influence upon having a special day designated to acknowledge the labor and productivity of this nation was the Pullman strike that occured in June of 1894. Within days, 125,000 workers on 29 different railroads had agreed to quit work rather than handle Pullman rail cars. The reason for the strike was due to the Pullman Palace Car Company cut wages and demands for their train cars plummeted and the company's revenue had dropped. President Grover Cleveland had ordered the military and U.S. Marshalls to go in and put a stop to the strike. When it was over, the Pullman strike resulted in 13 deaths, 57 people wounded and more than $340,000 worth of property damage, or in today's dollar value, it would equal $8.8 million dollars. President Cleveland and Congress passed the national holiday in just six days following the end of the Pullman Strike. And that is how Labor Day got its start.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - State investigators say cases of
municipal embezzlement are on the rise in Iowa.
The Iowa Auditor's Office conducted seven special investigations of finances
in cities with fewer than 700 residents between 1996 and 2005.
Since 2006, the number of investigations has grown to 32.
Auditor David Vaudt says that he believes that's only a portion
of the actual cases of embezzlement.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials acknowledge an
abundance of Homeland Security grants in the wake of 9/11 has led
to waste and lax oversight of how the money was spent.
An investigation shows Iowa has spent almost $250 million to purchase equipment to fight terrorism since 9/11. However, the assessment of 24 grant requests shows poor accountability of the items purchased.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette found money for a $92,000 video camera actually
bought bomb suits and $150,000 worth of body bags, chemical suits
and a radiation detector were never put into use. Other items are
missing or obsolete.
Iowa Homeland Security spokesman John Benson acknowledges poor
record keeping of the purchases and says the state needs to know
what equipment it has in case of a disaster.

Remember all the discourse and disclaimers several years ago about drilling for natural gas on the Roan Plateau?
I certainly did last week, after a U.S. District Court judge ruled the plan the Bureau of Land Management came up with - after about four years of meetings, public comment, tours by everyday citizens and elected officials, and enough news stories by yours truly to kill at least hundreds of trees - didn't consider an alternative backed by local communities, including Rifle.
That alternative would have had companies recover the gas beneath the surface through directional drilling from wells on the edge of the plateau and leave the top of the plateau, at least the public lands portion, free from drilling.
The judge also ruled the BLM did not sufficiently address cumulative effects of drilling on air quality from drilling on both public and private land in the area, and failed to consider potential ozone impacts.
Environmental groups sued in 2008, after the BLM approved a phased drilling plan for the Roan, including the top of the plateau.
What I recall after the BLM announced its decision four years ago was that no one seemed happy. Well, maybe the BLM, I guess, since they could finally move on to something else. But the industry, conservation groups and sportsmen's groups all said the plan didn't meet muster.
At the time, I thought meant it was a pretty good plan. I've always thought that a compromise should do just that, leave all parties thinking they gave up something but accomplished something else in the end.
But I also realized even before the plan was announced that it would end up in court, one way or the other. That's just the way our society works, I guess.
We've all seen how things have changed since then in terms of gas drilling. Whether you think that is good or bad is up to you. With natural gas prices so much lower, I can't see a rush to drill on top of the Roan. But, who knows.
Whether or not the BLM now comes up with something different is up in the air. They may not, according to the judge. But they have to take a closer look at the plan Rifle and others thought made the most sense, and look closer at the other impacts in the ruling.
So we'll see. The top of the Roan is a mishmash of visual areas. You have wide open, pristine pastures of trees and fields, and you have roads and fences, even a few structures.
I always thought the BLM had a tough job coming up with a management plan.
I imagine it's still going to be a challenge.

2006 Lexus IS350 RecallsPotential Fuel Leak
Due to the remnants of anti-corrosion plating, a fuel leak may develop from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe. Any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will clean and reseal the area of the fuel pressure sensor to correct this concern.
Many modern engines use a computer controlled mechanical system known as Variable-Valve Timing (VVT) to adjust engine valve timing based on operating conditions. Vehicles equipped with a V-6 engine and VVT are being recalled because bolts securing components of the VVT system could become loose due to normal impacts generated immediately after starting the engine when cold. The loose bolts could cause the VVT gear housing and sprocket to separate. This would cause the engine to stop while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash. Lexus dealers will replace the VVT unit on affected engines to correct this concern.
The nuts that secure the windshield wiper arms may not have been tightened to the correct specification during vehicle assembly and as a result, if the wipers are restricted by an external load such as a build up of snow, one or both or the wipers may become inoperative. Inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Lexus dealers will install new wiper arm nuts to correct this concern.

Lot of difference between 80lb and 180lb animals.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."

Lot of difference between 80lb and 180lb animals.
the wolves did not come from alaska. I have heard that fairy tale, to many times.
I live in part of the state of idaho, that is always at the top or near the top for hunters killing wolfs. Last night, my wife made the comment, that elk are every where, she looks. And she is right. Granted still winter big time in the high country, so lots of elk down low. but there are alot of elk out there.
tim is right, the wolves were imported from Canada, not Alaska. (Insert joke about them ending their howl with "eh"!)
It's good that you have lots of elk around too, but wolves effect the elk. They may not decimate them while you have healthy populations of elk, deer, whatever, but they sure can keep them down, or worse, when trying to recover from a bad winter or die-off of some sort.
These wolves are apex predators and do a lot of killing all year long and it make all other species adapt to them. Up here, you'll find moose doing more calving in urban areas when they get overrun by predators in their traditional calving areas. That may be a reason that you see lots of elk around.
I happen to love seeing wolves and am glad they are here. I see lots of them. But they need to be actively managed if we are to have healthy populations of all wildlife.
There was a article in the Billings Gazette a few days ago regarding two wolves killing 5 ewes and 8 lambs on a ranch north of Gardiner. The rancher was given two permits to kill the wolves, but only if they are on his property.
Another problem people don't realize is that it is very hard to manage a predator species. Ever try hunting one? Also they reproduce at a faster rate than their prey and while yes at some point things will balance out there will be a lot of damage inflicted. Here's a little news flash to the wolf lovers out there, we ARE an apex predator. In fact we are the #1 apex predator on the entire planet. We have enough hunters out there to manage wildlife populations without getting extra "help" from wolves. I'm a southerner from Louisiana and before you say what could I possibly know about this subject I will say I have read a great deal about the subject and can tell you first hand a scenario that I believe can be compared to the wolf problem. In just the last few years I've seen the turkey population and now beginning to see the deer population decline in one of the areas I hunt in southern Mississippi. Coyotes are the culprit here. We did not introduce them but they are here nonetheless. The damage inflicted on our turkey population is undeniable. The birds that are left are much more quiet also. Makes sense? I'm pretty sure an elk can put two and two together if a turkey can. I think the reintroduction of the wolf was a major screw up. They should be considered a predator and hunted year round just like we do with our worthless coyotes. If you feel I am being too hard, sorry that's how I feel. God made us stewards over wildlife. I don't believe in hunting to extinction but I believe where humans and wolves are competing for the same game animals we should not cater to the frickin' wolf and give them precedence or even protection.
I have been torn on this subject for years. I like the idea of having them, and I think some people want to manage elk and deer like a food crop. We have seen the positive impact when the elk heards are not allowed to lay around and eat the aspen all day. I am not educated enough on the subject to get into a debate, but it seems like the wolf population has quickly gotten away from the managers, and that was where it went to pieces. I do believe that opening year round hunting on them with no limits would take us right back where we started. There are enough people who want them "gone" to likely get the job done.
Those were my thoughts..............now I learn that these wolves aren't even from here to begin with?? WTF
Now I am more torn than before, but you can rest assured that I will be buying at least 1 wolf tag for idaho this year and try to help "manage" the population.
We (and I say we humans collectively) have depended upon our fish & game for survival for all time. We definately "manage" them today as a "crop". We limit the take, the size and the methods used in this "harvest". If we didn't it would be like the early 1900's when our fish and game here in the US was basically harvested almost out of existance. If it wasn't for the sporthunters and fisherman, we would not have what we have today.
The real problem with the wolf introduction into Yellowstone NP was that no sport hunting is allowed there and the game was allowed to overpopulate. A similiar situation is evident in Rocky Mt. NP. IMHO introducing a species that was not native to the area to control the game animals and classifying them as endangered, borders on criminal. It is surely not what Congress intended when they enacted the ESA. Pretty sad deal.What they should have done is put a 10" fence around the NP so the wolves could not get out and let them eat to their hearts content. Instead we all have to deal with them in our own way.
Sorry for my rant, but its not right and I have been and still am pretty ticked of about whats happened.

Ned Yost media session: September 4
Welcome to the big show!
Lucas May will make his Major League debut tonight. Yost sees the start as necessary in order to get a good look at the catcher and see what he's capable of doing. The manager doesn't plan on filling May's head with advice before the game, but does expect him to discuss strategy with tonight's starter, Bruce Chen. Yost believes the veteran Chen will pair up well with the "newbie" and will have the patience to hang with the young catcher and help him get through his first start.
Detroit catcher Max St. Pierre is also making his big league debut in tonight's ballgame after having spent nearly 14 years in the minors. St. Pierre spent 2007 Spring Training in Surprise with the Royals.
It's a balancing act
Yost also discussed his "dual thinking," meaning he first and foremost shows up everyday to win, but at the same time he is trying to figure out how to get better for next year. For example, Yost might let a player hit when he would normally would pinch hit for the player because he needs to see what the player is capable of doing in certain situations. He admitted it's tough to balance the two, but he tries to keep it as steady as he can.
In the two-hole
With Jason Kendall out due to extensive repair to his rotator cuff, Mitch Maier is now seeing playing time at the two-hole in the batting order. According to Yost, Maier is statistically the best situational hitter on the team (Kendall had been second). Situational hitting is something the team tracks from game one until the end of the season, and is also something the club works on everyday.

Hi, Want to check the part number for these weight pockets: Sherwood tell me I should be sourcing SWP08s. Are these them? Thanks in advance Andrew
These are the pocket you need for that bcd. Sherwood gave a generic answer without the sizing info. SWP is the part number for the pocket. 08, 10, or 15 would be the sizing in relation to the size of your bcd. The Small bcd uses the 08. The Medium and Large sizes use the 10 and the XL bcd uses the 15.
Hi I got an BC model Accent, of Scubapro and lost one weight pocket. It looks just lihe this one form the foto. Do you kwon if this model fits? And do you send to Brazil? Tks
Hello Marina, does your BCD have a Velcro or clip style connection. If you have Velcro then this pocket would work for you. If you have a hard plastic clip then this would not work for you. Here is the number to ScubaPro directly 1.800.467.2822. They will help you find the weight pocket you are looking for.

This product looks exciting. I would be all over it except the people in my company are heavily into blackberry usage. They need to see email in the palm of their hands 1 minute after it was sent. I am wondering if you have had any communications with blackberry about getting a server product to integrate with this.
I really wish we could use it now. Outlook with exchange is sucking my soul dry.

Born: 10/29/1971
Birth Place: Winona, Minnesota, USA
Winona Laura Horowitz was born near Winona, MN, on Oct. 29, 1971. The child of counterculture writers Michael Horowitz and Cynthia Palmer Horowitz, the young girl grew up surrounded by some of the brightest literary lights of the era, with Timothy Leary for a godfather and regular visits with poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The family relocated to San Francisco soon after Ryder was born and moved onto a commune in Northern California's Mendocino County when she was 10. There she cohabitated with seven other families on a farm without electricity or running water, though her mother used to screen movies in a nearby barn. It was there that Ryder was first inspired to act by wat... Continue Bio >>

Ethics panel says prosecutor-commissioner business OK
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A county commissioner may operate a business with the county prosecuting attorney, so long as the commissioner does not vote on any matters dealing directly with the prosecutor, the state Ethics Commission ruled Thursday.
According to the advisory opinion, the commissioner had started a business last year with the county prosecutor and another individual to refurbish and sell apartment buildings and houses.
Members of the Ethics Commission concluded that the business arrangement would not pose a conflict, although the county commission has oversight over the prosecutor's office, including setting the office's budget.
The commissioner may continue to vote on issues involving the prosecutor's office, but should recuse himself on matters directly involving the county prosecutor, the Ethics opinion concludes.
Commission member Douglas Sutton asked that the advisory opinion clarify that the county prosecutor's salary is set by law, and not by the county commission.
"I never think we can be too redundant," he noted.
Earlier this year, Beckley lawyer John Wooton withdrew as candidate for the Raleigh County Commission, after a State Bar advisory opinion concluded he would not be able to practice criminal defense law if elected.
That opinion concluded it would be a conflict of interest, since the county commission controls the budget for the county prosecuting attorney's office, and theoretically could cut its budget to limit the office's ability to prosecute criminal cases.
Identities of persons requesting advisory opinions from the Ethics Commission are confidential.
Also Thursday, the commission:
Although the assistant superintendent did not participate in awarding the contract, and has no direct involvement with it, the commissioners concluded it would be a violation of a state law that prohibits county officials from having a private interest in a public contract.
Scragg rents his home from a funeral home operator that has a contract with the state to transport bodies to the medical examiner's office.
At the time Scragg first rented the house more than 10 years ago, state Ethics law did not prohibit such an arrangement, but the law was changed in 2009 to prohibit state officials and public employees from leasing property from state vendors or persons regulated by the particular state agency.
Commissioners granted the exemption, concluding it would be a hardship to require Scragg and his family to move out of a house they've lived in for more than a decade.
As part of a conciliation agreement in January, Huffman agreed to pay $8,000 in fines to the Ethics Commission for ethics law violations stemming from his operation of a private environmental testing company during city work hours at the city's wastewater treatment plant, where he had worked as plant supervisor.
Huffman, who was fired from the city job at the time of the ethics investigation, cited financial difficulties in his request.
Besides Sutton, members of the Ethics Commission are Kemp Morton, Drema Radford, Jack Buckalew, Ronald Salmons, Jonathan Turak, Monte Williams, Robert Wolfe and Terry Walker.

ugghhh, seems like it's a pretty common issue.
I've got one Roku that I haven't loaded the new update on and it's running well right now. I think what we are seeing is a lot of people streaming at once and the streams get snarled up and the Roku has to reboot. When NetFlix starts streaming in 1080p it might clear up. We should get another update to the Roku boxes when that happens.

FAIRFAX COUNTY (WUSA) -- A family is displaced after their townhouse caught on fire Sunday afternoon.
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Dept. responded to the fire at the 5600 Chapel Run Court and found smoke and fire coming from the front of the two-story home.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire in the kitchen that was later determined to be caused by an unattended candle.
The occupants, two adults, one teenager and a dog were not home at the time of the fire. The Red Cross is helping the family.
The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Dept. provided the following candle safety tips:
• Do not place candles near combustible materials.
• Place candles in glass or ceramic containers.
• Place candles on a flat, sturdy surface.
• Never leave children unattended in a room with an open flame candle.
• Do not place candles on window ledges or near entryway. The potential air draft can "fan" the flame, catching curtains or other materials on fire.
• Do keep burning candles within sight at all times. Candles can present fire hazards outdoors on decks and patios as well as inside your home.
• Always extinguish candles before leaving the home.
• Place all candles on a protected, heat resistant, dry surface away from anything that can catch fire and out of the reach of children and pets.

Summary:The true story of journalist Stephen Glass, the twenty-something whiz kid who quickly rose from a minor writing post in Washington, to a freelance feature writer in such publications as the respected current events and policy magazine, "The New Republic," as well as for high profilers such as, "Rolling Stone," "Harper's" and "George." By the mid-90s, Glass' articles had turned him into one of the most sought-after young journalists in Washington, but a bizarre chain of events--chronicled in Buzz Bissinger's September 1998 "Vanity Fair" article on which the movie is based--suddenly stopped Glass' career in its tracks.

Birth Place: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Born in Cincinnati, OH on Dec. 18, 1946, Steven Allan Spielberg was the eldest child of Arnold and Leahanni Spielberg. Because of his father's job, the future film director spent much of his childhood in several places, as his family often moved. An awkward and lonely child growing up, Spielberg took solace in movies. The first film Spielberg ever saw, Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952), would have a lasting impact on the youngster's life and opened his mind to the magic of moviemaking. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Spielberg did not attend a major university film program and was thus, largely self-taught. At age 16, Spielberg fashioned his first film, "Firelight" - ...

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- The first of more than a dozen defendants charged in the hazing death of a Florida A&M drum major has entered a plea of no contest to third-degree felony hazing.
An Orlando judge on Tuesday withheld adjudication for 23-year-old Brian Jones. His attorney says that means no conviction will be on his record since Jones isn't admitting or denying guilt.
In agreeing to the deal, Circuit Judge Marc Lubet said Jones' role in the hazing death of Robert Champion was relatively minimal.
Champion died last November after being beaten by fellow band members during a hazing ritual aboard a bus parked outside an Orlando hotel following a football game
Ten other FAMU band members face felony hazing charges, while two others face misdemeanor counts for alleged roles in Champion's hazing.
