Greenpeace Says Dow's Freeport Chemical Plant Has Lousy Security
Think all those toxic chemicals stockpiled at industrial plants around Houston are safe and secure? Well, think again.
According to Greenpeace, the giant holding tanks and railroad cars full full of hazardous materials are ripe for disaster -- be it by terrorist attack or work-related accident -- potentially harming hundreds of thousands of local residents.
To prove its point, the national environmental advocacy group recently inspected the Dow Chemical plant in Freeport, one of the largest chemical manufacturing facilities in the world.
"There was no security whatsoever," John Deans of Greenpeace tells Hair Balls. "There were rail cars with stickers on them saying 'Inhalation hazard,' and the only thing standing in between us and it was a little ditch, and we just didn't want to get our feet wet to walk across."

Deans says the rail car was full of ethelyne oxide, a recognized carcinogen, which is used to make a compound chemical that helps produce consumer products such as plastic bottles, clothing, furniture, detergents and automotive coolants.
After inspecting the Dow facility, which spans more than 5,000 acres and has 65 production plants, Greenpeace issued a report, essentially flunking the chemical security at the plant.
One issue of contention is the possible worst-case scenario. The facility is required to give the EPA such an assessment, which according to Greenpeace, states that the release of 23,000 pounds of phosgene would potentially be felt 25 miles from the plant, impacting 131,000 people. Phosgene, a possible respiratory toxicant, was used as a chemical weapon during World War I and today is a building block to make plastics and pesticides.
Greenpeace says that the data is misleading, because it only accounts for a single holding container and not the total amount of dangerous stuff kept on site. The group says that the plant stores eight times as much phosgene as detailed in the facility's worst-case scenario, and that the scenario does not address the 7.6 million pounds of chlorine gas stored there.
According to the EPA, Texas has the most chemical facilities with the potential to harm more than 100,000 people than any other state. Texas has 100 such plants; the next closest, California, has 58.
There is, however, apparently a solution in the works. Greenpeace claims that chemicals such as phosgene "could be made and used with a just-in-time process that would eliminate the need for the bulk storage and transport in rail cars, which make this facility high-risk."
Last year, according to Greenpeace, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would force high-risk chemical plants use safer processes. The bill is now in the Senate.
Greenpeace is holding a forum to discuss chemical security at Dow and other plants on Saturday from 3-4 p.m. at Rice University's Sewall Hall, Room 309.

Alexander: I Told You, Matthysse's Power is Overrated
By Rick Reeno
IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander was not surprised with Danny Garcia (27-0, 16KOs) retaining his WBC/WBA junior welterweight titles last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Garcia won a twelve round unanimous decision over mandatory challenger Lucas Matthysse (34-3, 32KOs).
Alexander, at 140-pounds, won a ten round split decision over Matthysse in 2011. That was Alexander's final match at junior welterweight. Alexander noted afterwards that he struggled to make weight for the bout with Matthysse.
Although he wasn't surprised that Garcia won, he was surprised at how well Garcia was able to deal with Matthysse.
"I told people that Danny Garcia, this kid is tough and he don't get the credit that he deserve. I told people that Matthysse's power was very overrated. He caught Danny a few times and he caught me a few times clean. His power is very overrated. I try to tell people, but I was surprised that [Danny beat] him in the fashion that he did, I was surprised about that. Danny was too much for him. He's one-dimensional. If he don't get you with one big shot then oh well," Alexander told BoxingScene.com.
Judah hurt Danny in their fight??? Smfh what's wrong with ya??? Danny mopped the floor with him 80% of the fight. And then it got COMPETITIVE! Judah aint hurt sh1t.Comment by animalfan10 on 09-23-2013
Judah barely stunned Garcia in the 11th round and got his ass kicked for the vast majority of the fight...To think he could have "stopped" Garcia is ridiculous...Flint is either Black and biased towards the black fighter or he doesn't…Comment by ny123 on 09-18-2013
[QUOTE=flint;13757651]judah had garcia hurt and could have stopped him. garcia was never hurt in the mathysse fight. who cares about a mouth piece flying across the stadium.mathysse got his ass whoopped. thats what i saw.[/QUOTE] Judah got his ass beat…Comment by Da Machine on 09-17-2013
[QUOTE=Frank Ducketts;13757960]Devon beat Matthysse, but Danny put the smack down on his ass. Look at the pics of Matthysse's face. He beat Matthysse's ass!.[/QUOTE] Your a joke, since when did a 7-5 fight become an ass whooping? Go talk boxing…Comment by MrClutch85 on 09-17-2013

By Edward LopezSeptember 13, 2011
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J., Sept. 13, 2011 -- Achieving its best performance to date, the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center here placed six out of 10 winners in the Army Greatest Inventions Award competition for the 2010 calendar year.
The achievement is particularly meaningful for Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center, or ARDEC, because the Army Greatest Inventions, or AGI, Award is considered somewhat of a "Soldier's Choice Award."
A panel of noncommissioned officers with recent combat experience as well as practical, hands-on experience judged the nominations. In addition, a panel of field-grade officers from the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command also judged the nomination packages.
"The 2010 Award winners demonstrated significant impact to Army capabilities, potential benefits outside of the Army, and inventiveness," said Maj. Gen. Nick Justice, commander of the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, which is ARDEC's parent command.
"This program's unique selection process reflects the voice of the warfighter and insight into the future of Army equipment," Justice added.
The AGI awards from ARDEC are:
• 40mm Infrared Illuminant Cartridge, M992
• 5.56mm M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round, or EPR
• Green Eyes -- Escalation of Force Kit Integration with the CROWS System
• Jackal Explosive Hazard Pre-Detonation System
• M240L 7.62mm Lightweight Medium Machine Gun
• Mortar Fire Control System -- Dismounted, or MFCS-D
In announcing the AGI awards to the workforce, ARDEC Director Gerardo Melendez thanked all the teams that submitted nominations and noted that 2010 was ARDEC's best year ever in the number of awards received.
"This is a testament to the importance of your work and a validation of the impact of all the hard work you put in day after day," Melendez said. "This speaks volumes of how ARDEC is leading the efforts to take care of our Soldiers through technology and innovation. I am really proud of all you do and humbled to be part of the ARDEC team."
In the 2009 calendar year, three technologies developed at Picatinny Arsenal were named among the 10 greatest Army inventions. Since the Army Greatest Inventions Awards began in 2002, Picatinny teams have won 30 of the 90 greatest inventions awarded through 2010.
Melendez said that effective team Picatinny relationships, especially the collaborative efforts that take place at the project level, are the critical elements that contribute to developing technologies that Soldiers appreciate.
ARDEC, which develops 90 percent of the U.S. Army's armaments and ammunition, was the first government organization to win the prestigious Baldrige National Quality Award in 2007.
Greatest Inventions Award winners from other organizations in 2010 are:
• Husky Mark III 2G 2 Seat Prototype (U. S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center)
• mCare Project (U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command)
• RG-31 Robot Deployment System (U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center)
• Soldier Wearable Integrated Power Equipment System (Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center)
ARDEC's contributions to the Army have been recognized in the past. Last year, the Secretary of the Army awarded the Superior Unit Award to the Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, or RDECOM.
ARDEC is one of the subordinate elements of RDECOM that contributed to the achievement cited in the award. In 2007, ARDEC developed four of the 10 Army Greatest Inventions.
The most recent award winners will be recognized at a ceremony in conjunction with the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting Oct. 10-12 in Washington, D.C.
Gen. Ann Dunwoody, commanding general, Army Materiel Command, will present the awards.

Tom Hayden: The peace movement can and will have to merge with the populist movements opposing austerity budgets and Wall Street crimes.
Heart Attack Iraq
Tom Hayden: Obama, the black candidate, the liberal candidate, the anti-war candidate, the candidate with not a moment of military experience, certainly saw a strategic opportunity to focus laser-like on bin Laden, from the 2008 primaries right through the first two years of his presidency.
The Fight for Peace Heats Up
Tom Hayden: The fact is that Democratic constituencies and leaders, responding to overwhelming public sentiment against the war, have been uniting in recent weeks behind a call for "substantial and significant" troops reductions and a transfer of war funds to job creation at home.
Deficit Debate Ignores War, Labor Leaders Speak Out
Tom Hayden: It's ridiculous to claim to be a deficit hawk and a war hawk at the same time.
Afghanistan Withdrawal Resolution Passes DNC
Tom Hayden: The policy resolution demands a "swift withdrawal" of troops and contractors starting with a "significant and sizeable reduction [of troops] no later than July 2011.
Barbara Lee: We Need to Convince Obama to Campaign Against War
Tom Hayden: President Obama needs to be convinced to "shift his political calculus" and campaign in 2012 "on a platform of ending the war in Afghanistan," Rep. Barbara Lee told representatives of several peace organizations in a conference call on Dec. 10.
Mehserle-Grant Verdict Aftermath: Oakland Lives Another Day
H. Scott Prosterman: Regardless of the verdict, some element of violent protest was inevitable. Ironically, most of those arrested were white, suburban anarchist, rather than black activists.
Why Winograd Matters
Brad Parker: Marcy Winograd is more relevant than most of us, today, right here, and right now. Through six years of campaigning to win a seat in the House of Representatives, she has revealed the true inner workings of the Democratic Party, both in California and nationally. Her epic struggle to unseat Representative Jane Harman, in the 36th Congressional District of California, has proven Winograd's true grit and revealed the Party's soulless Status Quo Establishment in inexorable decline.
Kicking the Can Down the Street
I am afraid to say that President Obama is even risking his presidency by this decision. From this point forward, he will lack the support of the rank and file Democratic majority and become dependent on the very Republicans whose highest priority is to defeat him in 2012.
In Congress: 32 Heroes, 21 Frauds
The congressional elections of 2006 and 2008 were almost universally understood as shaped by public desire to end the war in Iraq. Last month, when a war supplemental spending bill (another $97 billion for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) was expected to easily pass in the House with bipartisan support, 51 Democrats sought to please […]
From the California State Democratic Convention in Sacramento
From the celebratory atmosphere over the weekend at the California Democratic State Convention, titled: "California Democrats — A New Era," held at the Sacramento Convention Center, one could get the impression that the Democratic Party's base is strong and the leadership of the State Legislature has made all the right moves. There was a stunning […]
Yellow Doggin' It in D'Town
Thunderheads roiled the Rockies surrounding D'Town. Surging through the 16th Street mall came the massed and masked desperadoes, demanding an end to the war and the empire.

Color of Law: Breaking Down the Far Right's Attacks on Michelle Obama
Are the spouses of the presidential candidates fair game? Republican presidential candidate John McCain – as well as McCain surrogates at Fox News and elsewhere – seems to think they are open for attack, particularly when they are Black. The Far Right decided to wage warfare against Michelle Obama after she stated in a Feb. […]

"Another Elegy" by Jericho Brown
by Ernest Hilbert on 15/06/12 at 9:26 am
This is what your dying looks like.
You believe in the sun. You believe
I don't love you. Always be closing,
Said our favorite professor before
He let the gun go off in his mouth.
I turned 29 the way any man turns
In his sleep, unaware of the earth
Moving beneath him, its plates in
Their places, a dated disagreement.
Let's fight it out, baby. You have
Only so long left. A man turns
In his sleep, so I take a picture.
He won't look at it, of course. It's
His bad side, his Mr. Hyde, the hole
In a husband's head, the O
Of his wife's mouth. Every night,
I take a pill. Miss one, and I'm gone.
Miss two, and we're through. Hotels
Bore me, unless I get a mountain view,
A room in which my cell won't work,
And there's nothing to do but see
The sun go down into the ground
That cradles us as any coffin can.

Defensive lapses hurt BayHawks in loss to Charge
CANTON, Ohio -- The Erie BayHawks' defensive woes continued Sunday as the Canton Charge pulled out a 107-95 win in D-League action in front of 2,183 fans at the Canton Civic Center.
Erie (1-10) got off to its usual fast start with a 23-21 lead after the first quarter. Canton (9-4) controlled the action the rest of the game.
The Charge used a 15-4 run over the final 3 minutes, 28 seconds of the first half to take a 51-45 lead at halftime. Sergey Karasev had five of his 16 points during the run, while Gilbert Brown added four points. Brown finished with 11, and Kevin Jones led Canton with 21 points and nine rebounds.
Erie was without big man Jeremy Tyler, who was instead traveling to New York City on Sunday. He could be re-signed this week by the New York Knicks, the team that released him in camp.
Ricky Davis and Scott Suggs each scored 21 points in the loss, while Mustafa Shakur added 18. Justin Brownlee started and played more than 44 minutes in Tyler's absence and finished with 10 points and eight rebounds.
The BayHawks return to Erie Insurance Arena tonight for a game against Reno before leaving Erie for nearly two weeks. Erie heads to Delaware on Friday before the D-League Showcase next week in Reno. It is unclear if Tyler will return to the BayHawks anytime soon. The Knicks are off until Thursday and could sign Tyler to a 10-day contract or return him to Erie.

2014 Subaru Impreza WRX STI STI 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
I got the 2014 hatchback STI in white.Engine: strong mid-range power, but weak top end.Some turbo lag, power comes on around 3k rims and dies off around 5.5k rpm.Redline at 7k.Fuel economy is poor even in intelligent mode which saps the power.I avg 22 mpg and I mainly drive like a grandma.Expect 18 mpg avg if you have heavy foot.Exterior: what can I say it looks aggressive.I swapped the gun metals for gold bbs and it looks good.Custom molded the base impreza mud flaps to fit.Looks great.Interior:the stock Bluetooth sucks.Seats are good not brz good.Nice overall not great.Hatchback folds down, tons of space, although u don't wanna stratch that leather.
Looks and mid-range power.
Awd sticks awesome in dirt and muddy roads.
Rear kicks out and fronts pulls me through.
Kinda exclusive car, not too many people have them.
Get kudos everywhere I go.
Alacantra seats are nicely done.
Visibility is good.
Big brakes give confidence.
Subaru needs to redesign the exterior to reduce wind noise which I find is unacceptably loud at freeway speeds with windows open or closed.
Tire noise is acceptable for sports car.
Suspension is not too soft, just right, but I say that there is too much body roll.
Needs stiffer sway bars.
Steering is wayyyy over boosted at highway speeds.
Kinda scary over long sweeping turns as the wheel is just too sensitive and moves too much.
Fine around parking lots.
After owning a 2007 STI, I consider the 2014 STI a great improvement. Much improved seats and lower road noise over 2007 STI. 2014 STI is a bit more refined than 2007 STI, however the 2007 STI car was a bit more raw and in-your-face. I chose the hatchback over the sedan as it offers the best of both worlds in performance and utility. Plus the hatchback does not appear to draw as much attention as the sedan with the big wing. While I could've waited for the new 2015 STI,but with the next STI/WRX being more road focus I felt like the next car would lose little bit of it's rally heritage and that what makes STI unique.
By far my favorite feature is the performance and utility. The cars just versatile from trips the Home Depot or cutting it up on a back road this car can do it all and do it fast.
The gas mileage on this car could be better but it's not too far other all-wheel-drive cars with 300+ hp. But we all know you don't buy in STI for the mileage.
The nav system could use some improvement and a higher resolution display.
We all know the sound system use some improvement and a backup camera. The OEM nav system can support a backup camera but the car not prewired for it.

DENNIS HAYSBERT is still smarting a bit about his final exit from Fox's "24," in which his character, former President David Palmer, took a bullet to the head.
And it's not because Palmer's assassination last season put Haysbert out of a job.
The actor, who was visiting the new 15th and Spring Garden streets studios of KYW (Channel 3) yesterday to talk about "The Unit" (9 p.m. Tuesdays, Channel 3), said he'd already filmed the pilot of the CBS military drama when "24" brought him back to film the scene he described as "the only thing in my career that I ever regretted."

Now, before we get too much farther into this idea, I think I should point out that "soaring" in this context is not being used as a synonym for flying but, rather indicates that Sugarbush Soaring operates gliders and that the gliding community uses "soaring" to differentiate their mode of travel from those who go "flying" in motorized aircraft.

The clip kate is moving away Part 2 from The Family Man (2000) with Téa Leoni, Nicolas Cage Hey, kind of under a little pressure here. Hey, kind of giving up Christmas day for my ex-boss here. Hey, didn't mind offering to help when she was opening the Prada bag I gave her. Maybe it's by the wardrobe boxes. Thank you. So you're moving. Yeah, to Paris. My firm has an office there. I'm gonna be heading it up. Paris. Paris, France? That's the one. So you're... you're not at a nonprofit firm? God, no, not with what they pay me. Are you married? No, I never got married, Jack. You? Not exactly. Look, could we take a minute here, maybe go get a cup of coffee or something? I'll go for a cup of coffee. Yes. I found it. Congratulations. Your earlier flight was canceled, but I got you out of Kennedy on United at 7:00. Excellent. Am I good or what? Yes, you're brilliant. Thank you. You're welcome. Here you go. It's just some old stuff of yours. Do you ever think about us, Kate? About what might have happened? Jack, I'll tell you what. If you're ever in Paris, look me up and we'll go have that cup of coffee, okay? Or cafe. Or cafe au lait. Oh, wait. No, no, no, no! Don't close that up. I will never find this box again. Well, I marked it. Just be more specific next time. We'll leave it open then. I was just trying to close it up.

Pain after endoscopy
Q: Had an endoscopy yesterday and since have been suffering with pain in my chest, it gets worse when i drink or eat, was in tears this morning eating toast. was given omeprazole 20mg which i have to take 2 a day. my hospital have rang me today (procedure done privately) to see if im ok , i explained and i can ring at any time and the y will get in touch with the doctor. should i do this or will this go?
I realize how concerned you are about your symptom. After upper GI endoscopy, patients may feel bloated or nauseated. You may also have a sore throat, which can stay for a day or two. And will likely feel tired and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Unless otherwise directed, you may immediately resume their normal diet and medications.
Chest pain might also be felt after this procedure, remember that gas is introduced into your intestines to increase the visibility and some volume might remain inside until your body release it, however if the chest pain worsens it is mandatory that you contact your physician. I wish you the best.

The City of Fayetteville said the flyover will be closed overnight for the next few days to allow for completion of the bridge painting.
The flyover bridge will be closed from 12:00am midnight on Monday July 7th thru 6:00am Tuesday morning on July 8th. From July 8 through the morning of July 11, the flyover bridge will be closed nightly from 8 pm thru 6 am.
The Flyover will be closed to all traffic during the times listed.
The flyover opened for traffic on Wednesday July 2.
City officials said, "we apologize for the inconvenience to the traveling public, but the closure is necessary for the safety of the workers and to prevent damage to vehicles from painting overspray."

God willing, the Gulf Coast may be spared Prince-William-Sound-like images of waves of tarry goo slapping ashore, while wild birds and cuddly mammals struggle for survival in asphaltine muck.
Last Friday, the Lafayette Daily Advertiser reported on the rescue of the first oil-covered bird Louisiana:
It was the only animal being cleaned late Friday morning, but rescuers expected many more to come in throughout the day.
Hmmm. Seen any more pictures? Me either.
Today's news brings reports of dead jellyfish ...
... it's not uncommon to see jellyfish floating dead during high winds, but the number of dead found so far is beyond normal.
and sea turtles in Mississippi, at least 25 miles from the leading edge of the advancing oil.
Although this is the time of year when dead turtles are often found on the beach, scientists say the number is more than double what they would expect.
What gives?
Several factors may be at play in diminishing the shore impact of the current spill.
- Natural wave action will aerate and break up the slick. Chemical dispersants are being applied to speed up the process.
- The oil is lighter than the Alaskan crude from the Valdez spill, and hence is more prone to evaporate.
- The source of this spill is in open water some 50 miles from the nearest land, so the dispersants, the responders and Mother Nature have some time to do their thing before landfall.
If we apply a few calculations, we can figure out how dispersed the oil might be.
BP's estimate is that the well is making some 5,000 barrels of crude oil per day. For convenience, we'll say the well has been flowing for 14 days, or 70,000 barrels total. One barrel is 5.615 cubic feet, so the total volume of spilled oil is something like 400,000 cubic feet.
Let's say the size of the spill is 50 miles by 50 miles, or 2,500 square miles. (Actually, the size of the spill's extent as shown in the New York Times graphic below is more like 5,100 square miles. I've embellished the original NYT graphic to depict these theoretical & estimated areas.)
Four hundred thousand cubic feet of oil over 2,500 square miles is 160 cu ft per square mile, or just 1/4 cubic foot per acre. Spread uniformly over the entire 50 mi x 50 mi area, that would equate to a layer of oil 0.00007 inches thick.
And that's if none of the oil has evaporated, which it has.
As we've seen in the pictures, the oil does tend to clump up in thicker ribbons. But the fact remains that much of the 5,100 sq mi is covered by "sheen", which is what you get on the surface of a swimming pool if you go in after applying a generous layer of Coppertone.
None of this is intended to minimize the potential for damage to specific populations and localized areas. For example, a brown pelican rookery was devastated just a few years ago by a small volume of oil spilled in a very vulnerable place at a very vulnerable time.
As disappointing as it may be to some journos and enviros, the jellyfish and the sea turtle kills may well turn out to be natural events, unrelated to the oil spill. I'm praying that this spill event will end in the near future without a calamitous impact on either the wildlife or the human population of the Gulf Coast.

UW staff could be assigned to unions
Thousands of currently unrepresented academic staffers at University of Wisconsin campuses could be assigned into existing unions - rather than having the chance to vote - under a provision included in the state budget, state officials say.
The 2009-'11 budget plan, awaiting a final agreement in Madison, would give UW faculty and academic staff the right to collectively bargain, meaning faculty and staff could vote to form bargaining units at different campuses.
But part of the language added by state Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine), a former union lobbyist, and state Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), gives the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission the express authority to assign some academic staff employees to appropriate unions without a vote.
The language was added at the Joint Finance Committee level. It is not seen as a point of conflict as a conference committee hashes out differences between the Senate and Assembly versions of the budget and is thus likely to pass.
The language has already set off a push by unions to expand membership by absorbing some 4,000 of the UW System's academic staff into their units.
In all, there are about 12,000 full-time academic staff positions in the system. In the other cases, unions would have to spend time and money on organizing campaigns and then have to win votes by targeted employees.
The provision has also set the stage for a potential fight with the UW System.
System officials have remained neutral on collective bargaining rights for employees, but spokesman David Giroux said that once employees have the right to unionize, officials believe they should also have the right to vote on whether to actually do so.
UW officials also argue that the budget language expands the power of the Employment Relations Commission.
"That sort of arbitrary, unilateral move would be a great concern for us," Giroux said. "Employees should have the right to choose if they so want it."
Peter Davis, general counsel for the Employment Relations Commission, said he believes that the commission has always had such power and that the budget language merely makes the authority explicit.
Several unions are planning to file unit clarification petitions with the panel that argue thousands of academic staff do very similar work to existing union members, said Jill Bakken, spokeswoman for the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin.
Therefore, the unions will argue, the staff members should be absorbed into unions representing, for example, science professionals, patient care professionals or analysts.
Union leaders have already begun to discuss which academic staff would join which union, Bakken said. Potential unions include Wisconsin Professional Employees Council, Wisconsin Science Professionals, Wisconsin Physician & Dentist Association, and Professional Employees in Research, Statistics & Analysis.
The petitions would be filed after Doyle signs the budget, Bakken said.
The Employment Relations Commission would then conduct a hearing and receive written testimony from the unions and the University of Wisconsin or Office of State Employment Relations. Individual employees do not have standing at the hearing and cannot argue against inclusion in a union.
The Employment Relations Commission would make the final call on whether the employees should be reclassified into a bargaining unit. "In the end the individual employees do not have standing to say, 'I'm really academic staff or I'm not,' " Davis said. "We rely on and presume that the interests of the union and employer are distinct - that if there's a fight about it, they will fight about it. The agency will decide what the answer is."
While the unit clarification process is common, the scope of this move is unusual. Typically, petitions involve one or a handful of employees, not hundreds or thousands.
If the panel approved the union petitions, the UW employees would become voting members of the unions and would in some cases be required to pay fees, Davis said.
No one can be forced to pay dues, but people can be forced to pay fees to support collective bargaining and contract negotiation, he said.
Employees' pay and benefits would be subject to collective bargaining.
The union could seek higher wages for the employees. But if there wasn't anything in the existing contract that said what the employee's wages would be, it's theoretically possible that result could be a decrease in pay - but Davis said such decreases are unlikely.
The budget provision has flown largely under the radar. But some academic staffers who found out about the unions' plans said they were opposed to being forced into a union without a vote.
"The union has always supported the right of employees to decide whether they want to be part of the union or not," said Carol Weidel, a programming analyst at UW-Madison who is an academic staff member. "It's not something that's imposed on you."
Weidel is a treasurer for the United Faculty and Academic Staff, an American Federation of Teachers local on the UW-Madison campus that currently has no collective bargaining powers but plans to organize employees once the budget passes.
Mason, who worked as a lobbyist for AFT-Wisconsin for five years, emphasized that the unit clarification concept was already part of the law. He said the goal is to make sure workers are part of a community of interest.
It makes sense, he said, to group together the people who have most in common.
Mason said while reclassified employees wouldn't have the chance to vote on whether to become part of the union, they would become voting members with rights.
"Collective bargaining rights is something that I've cared about for a long, long time, and I'm someone who believes that if somebody's in a union they're likely to have more say on their hours, wages and working conditions."
Hansen did not return a call for comment.

I love these leather jeans, they are really god quality, l was surprised at the fit. I am a girl and bought a size 30 men's, they are great because they come high up my back and keep me warm. New Zealand winters are cold. Great buying
Great Fitby Michelle - verified purchaser
I bought these pants for my boyfriend and he loved them. They fit perfect and he had had no complaints. I will be ordering more from Jafrum.
Mens Leather Pants with Side Laces Reviewby Gerard McMullen - verified purchaser
These pants are very heavy gauge leather, and are really warm, but I ordered a size larger as recommended and wish that I hadn't. I normally wear a 36 in jeans, so I rdered a 38. Could have gotten the 36 and they would have been fine, even over my jeans.
My leather pants LP901 reviewby Ed - verified purchaser
The pants are excellent, they fit just right and I use them as often as I can. They feel great and I love to be in them. Great purchase for the quality and price!
Great Pantsby J R - verified purchaser
these pants last week and am thrilled with my purchase. These are high quality pants. Sizing can be tricky. I wear between a 32 to 34 waist depending on the cut. Usually a 33 is perfect. My inseam is a 36. Based on other reviews, I ordered the 32. When I first received the pants, I started to try them on and thought there is no way I can button the pants nevertheless wear them. However, after some encouragement from my wife and some sucking in of my gut, I got them on. Now, after wearing them for about 6 hours, they are starting to fit like a glove. Also, the length was perfect for me. I did not need to trim the length at all (in fact, I hope to stretch the length a bit). I wouldn't hesitate buying these again.

Great pants... had to order 2 sizes smaller than my actual waist. Been getting lots of looks & compliments (mostly from the ladies ; )
Jafrum black leather lace up pants are a winner!by John M. Hoyt - verified purchaser
I ordered these pants for a halloween costume... I intend on going as a fat, old, burned out 80s rocker to a gig my band is playing (I'm 48, so I fit the old and fat part)... Anyway, I have not purchased leather in years, the last pair I bought were when I was riding, and they were quite pricy, so to be honest, when I purchased these at this price, I was not expecting much. Boy was I surprised. These are leather pants, with pockets, belt loops, and snaps. The side has expansion/flexibility via the laces, allowing you to keep it loose in the knees for riding. Picture a leather pair of jeans. I did not know whether they were true to size or not, so I ordered a pair of 40s and a pair of 38s, thinking that leather has traditionally been tighter on their sizing. 38s in jeans fit me just about right, and 36 are a little tight. The 40s I ordered are certainly too big, and the 38s fit JUST LIKE a pair of Levi jeans. Higher wasted like jeans. With the lace panel, I probably could have gone with 36s and I might still, haven't decided. The lace panel is enclosed, so you do not see skin - there's leather there, but others have mentioned they have cut that out. I believe the build quality on these is exceptional, and the feel is awesome - thick leather, but still very soft and supple. They should last many years, or until I get older and fatter and outgrow them or something. Just a note to the rockers out there - as others have mentioned, these are NOT "fashion" pants. They are heavy, designed for riders and a lifetime of use. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a punk rock, or metal type look, I don't think you are going to be disappointed. If you are looking for that tight, fitted glamour look, get vinyl and be happy. Two thumbs up to Jafrum ....
LACE UP LEATHER PANTSby Heather - verified purchaser
I bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them! I ordered his pant size and they were too big, but Jafrum customer service is great and the return was easy. Then I ordered a size smaller for him and they fit perfectly.
Like them very muchby Mel - verified purchaser
Nice grade of leather, shipped promptly. The only issue I would have is that the size tag had been scribbled out with what appeared to be a sharpie marker, with "40" written over what was originally a "38". I had read earlier reviews stating that they ran big, and was hoping that were true in preparation for fall riding season, so I could wear a pair of sweat pants beneath on chilly days. Not so after the scribbled resizing. They do fit, and I like the look of them, so I kept them. But won't be able to wear them for fall riding. I'll just keep wearing my old chaps.
Cool Pantsby Andrey - verified purchaser
The Extremely good pants. I ordered the same size like I wearing and I have very pleased!
LP901 Leather Pantsby Dawn "soon-to-be" Meeks - verified purchaser
Excellent price for such an amazing pair of leather pants! Runs a little bigger than true to size, but works very well for the more muscular legs, such as my honey has :) Great company!
Good Qualityby Z-Man - verified purchaser
I started out reading the reviews and ordered my pants a size 32 instead of a 34 which is what I wear. WAY TOO SMALL...so I sent them back and ordered a size 36 which is what the girl on the phone said to order. So I did...too big...but not so big that I didn't keep them for the real cold riding days with a pair of longjohns wore under them. So I reordered my regular size 34 and wouldn't you know it, they fit just like my jeans. I am happy with the quality of the leather, just watch out for the zipper, not much material behind it so it can catch other things. Over all a good pair of leathers so far...we will see with time.
Very Niceby Melissa W - verified purchaser
These are very nice pants, the only problem with them was the laces were a bit to long and stiff.
Great pantsby Daniel Parent - verified purchaser
These pants are great. They look good, are well made and are affordable. I'm just glad that i read the reviews as far as sizing goes. I usually wear a 32 but ordered a 30 as suggested and they fit great!
Great quality - great priceby S Maines - verified purchaser
These pants are much more than expected for the price. Great quality leather, soft and supple, and well made. Size was perfect. Shipping is always fast.
Leather Pantsby Jim - verified purchaser
These pants rock. Totally true about sizing. Since they didn't have 34's, I got the 36's anyway. Yeah, they were large, but the leather is so thick, they did not droop. Sweet pants!
Love themby Mark - verified purchaser
It took a second try to get the size right.. The delivery was quick and the response was prompt. Excellent pair of leather pants. I purchased them too large because I measured where they would button and adding a size. If you measure with a tape measure you will find they are accurately sized but the waistline is lower than jeans. It is a quality pair of pants.
Leather Motorcycle Pantsby HtD - verified purchaser
Yes, you'd better get it 2 sizes smaller than you normally would. I did the same mistake as most of people before me. Size 38 pants arrived and upon equipping there was a gap big enough to put a fist or two (if you know what I mean). But the return process was very easy - all necessary info and instructions were conveniently included in the package. So after successfully getting a refund I ordered size 36 pants and they fit perfectly. They are very long, but can be cut to fit any desired length. After all, a great purchase.

A public groundbreaking ceremony for the Weld County Fallen Officer Memorial will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Bittersweet Park, 35th Avenue and 16th Street, Greeley.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with fallen deputy Sam Brownlee's family and Greeley City Councilman Rob Casseday, began work on the memorial in January 2011. As the process developed, the city of Greeley became a partner in the project, and a host site for the memorial was provided in Bittersweet Park.
A nonprofit organization was started to raise funds for the construction of the memorial. Private residents' donations and corporate donations from Home Depot and Roche Constructors also helped aid the memorial.
Custom engraved paver stones are available for $200. The timeline for completion of the memorial is May 2012, with a total project cost of $160,000.

Why I Dress the Way I Do: Introducing Physical Graffiti.
Periscope Date: 12/17/15 Replay link: http://www.mzsadie.com/videos?vid=58qT
Scope Topic: Hello World
I found myself defending the way that I dress in my role as CEO of my business so I decided to write this blog to inform everyone who is interested about the way I really feel about clothing and fashion.
My corporate partners and I have been involved with the ownership and/or executive management of literally dozens of different types of companies over the years, including those in the fashion industry.
Before digging deeper into fashion, for those of you who tell me that I do not dress appropriate for the business world, all I can point out to you is that this is AMERICA and I can dress however I please. I will spend 16 hours a day running my global conglomerate in whatever attire I find most suitable and I invite you to run your business in whatever attire you see fit. Apparently, based on my success in every endeavor that I undertake and the fact that my business continues to grow, I am in fact dressing appropriate to success.
Fashion is a big business. The truth is that if the fashion industry here in the US disappeared, the US economy would collapse. And literally millions of people in a huge array of related industries would simply lose their livelihoods and be homeless in six months. Now here is the hard part for many people to accept. While it's true that majority of men and women buy clothing sizes far larger than would be worn by myself or any of the aces, those buyers are not the backbone of the fashion trade. The truth is that the average young adult Millennial spends far more money in clothing stores than does the average Mom or Dad. It makes sense as Mom and Dad have a variety of other obligations competing for their hard earned dollar. Having the latest and greatest magazine look just isn't at the top of the average struggling family leader nor should it be.
In my everyday business, I formulate, manufacture and distribute over 1,000 different products. I believe that we have the best nutrition products in the world. I believe we have the best skin care products in the world. The best jewelry products for the money. The best CBD products. The best health products. Our products are sold in many different venues but we are primarily an internet company that is fueled by the under 50 demographic.
When you see me or one of the aces on Periscope, you will normally see fashion built for the younger demographic. Our fashion is IN FACT the backbone of the fashion industry and it is not going to disappear – ever. Nor should it since it would send the country into an economic tailspin.
You may not personally like a short dress. Or a top that shows cleavage. In fact, it may even offend your sensibilities. Maybe you think that this type of clothing is only worn by hookers and drug users (incredible to me but yes I have heard that!). I cannot stop you from thinking the things that you do. I can only tell you that I am not forcing you to join our Periscope channel. I support the fact that you are entitled to your beliefs even if I do not agree with them. I just wonder why you would put the effort forward coming here to attack us for the way we dress.
Look it works both ways. My friend is 55 years old and wears a size 16. She wears huge over-sized loose fitting t shirts when she goes shopping and over the top types hats to Church. I can't stop people in the gym she walks by thinking that she is fat and lazy or that she is wearing a road kill peacock on her head. I don't think those things about my overweight elders. Nor do a majority of intelligent, compassionate people in America think that about her or think that the way I dress is offensive to God. The bottom line is that the world is about diversity, support and love. That all we are trying to promote here with our words, appearance and our products; can't we all just get along…why do you have to be so negative and judgmental.
Here is the real purpose of this blog. As the chief executive of a business that cares about EVERYONE, even the more rigid thinkers that make up our diverse culture, I am always looking for ways to satisfy most of the people most of the time. So I have exciting news. In the near future, I am going to give people who feel that dresses above the knee are scandalous, who feel a model who is built more like Barbie than a beach ball is an embarrassment or who feel that a man wearing an embellished, tight shirt is a hoodlum the same access to express their own personal style in custom made clothing as their Millennial counterparts.
We will be launching, during the first quarter of 2016 a new fashion enterprise called Physical Graffiti. Physical Graffiti will be a custom clothing manufacturing business that gives you the power to create your own, one-of-a-kind, textiles to have sewn into custom made clothing items of your own choosing. In addition to creating custom fabric, you can make your designs available to sell to others for fabric-item combinations that can't be found in any store in the world. Physical Graffiti lets you choose the item that you want in the size, cut, fabric print and embellishments that suit you best. Each item is then hand sewn and customized for you in the USA by Physical Graffiti and shipped to you with 48 hours at a price competitive with the typical Mall clothing retailers.
Is that cool or what? We plan to open our first 15,000 square foot production complex by the end of March 2016.
I thank everyone for their continued support of myself and all the aces and always look forward to hearing the diversity of opinions out there – when they are clean and non-judgmental.

In the minds of some critics, Alastor, published in 1816, represents Shelley's first mature poem of length and power (Bloom 8). Praised in contemporary reviews by Leigh Hunt in The Examiner in December 1816 and John Gibson Lockhart in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in November 1819, the volume also attracted critical censure from The Monthly Review and The Eclectic Review (see Barcus 95-105). Containing many of the themes, preoccupations, and ambiguities which feature in Shelley's later poetry, Alastor reveals the multi-faceted quality of Shelley's poetic vision (see de Man 44). Stuart Curran argues that the poem represents the middle ground between his early and his later work:

Fire on the Mountain
Fire on the Mountain by Neal Moore (CNN iReport) CAPE TOWN, South Africa. Raw video footage of firefighting helicopters battling the first fire of the summer season to hit Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Three Cape Town Fire helicopters are seen in use, dipping their buckets into the city's reservoir to battle the blaze from first light. As I was taking this footage between 6am and 7am, local time, the helicopters swooped in several times. Local news has reported that residents on the base of the mountain were evacuated the night before when the blaze and the winds were much stronger. It appeared the fire helicopters work was doing the trick as the amount of white smoke coming off the mountain subsided during the hour I shot video. Every year multiple fires break out on and near Table Mountain due to Southeaster or "Cape Doctor" winds that whip and whirl around the city at this time of year. Table Mountain in Cape Town has recently been declared a UNESCO world heritage natural wonder.

Bloomberg story
"One document showed he had traded $14 billion worth of Japanese equities in 2013 — about half of 1 percent of all the share transactions done by individuals on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that year."
""Of course I'm happy about today, but you win some and you lose a lot, too," he said, explaining the Greek financial crisis had cost him about $6 million."
"The latest trade began on Aug. 12, when CIS noticed a shift in equity markets he hadn't seen for a while. Shares in the major indexes were struggling to recover from sell-offs. He started shorting Nikkei futures: 200 contracts the first day and another 1,300 over the following week and a half.
The stakes were enormous. With 1,500 contracts at a notional value of about $160,000 each, his bet against the Nikkei was about $240 million. For every 100 yen move in the index, he stood to make or lose $1.25 million.
The market was mostly flat over the next few days; CIS bided his time playing video games. On Friday Aug. 21, the Nikkei dipped. Then on Monday, the index plunged the most in two years, and the futures fell more than 1,000 points to 18,410. By the close at 3 p.m. in Tokyo, his profit stood at about $13 million."

Mr Top Step, Danny Riley (Twitter)was nice enough to share this interview and Q and A with famed trader and Market Wizard, Marty Schwartz.
Before I go into the summary and what I learned from the interview, Danny O'Reilly points out that ideas should be shared by dedicating this video to Charlie D. Charlie was a floor trader that taught a lot of other new traders unselfishly and did very well for himself. I also agree with this. I see those willing to share, whether its on their blogs or twitter accounts, get a ton out of helping others. I don't know if it is karma but I appreciated the message.
The video runs one hour and is well worth your time. I've already watched it twice! Without further ado, here are some notes and key takeaways:
Marty Schwartz on: not being outworked by anybody, his trading, sucker plays (when the chart looks the best), being prepared the night before with levels, the emotions of trading (fading emotions), etc…
"The problem is when the opportunity presents itself, you usually are carrying some bad inventory or you are pissing in your pants" –I found this quite funny and on point. Most traders take risk and seldom are out entirely from the market. So in a bigger correction, when the time is ripe to go for the kill and get long, what holds traders back is their bad inventory (stocks with unrealized losses) or their fear (Ebola, Greek Exit, FED rate increase etc…).
"Am I craving the action or do I really want to win and be successful? Until you can answer that you should save your money." –If you play Black jack and count cards there are times when the count is not favorable. Do you walk around and find another table, go to the bathroom or do you keep playing even when the odds are not in your favor? It's quite the same in the stock market. Avoiding the sub optimal times in the market is a big battle for traders who love trading and love taking on risk.
Marty Schwartz said he could train 100 traders and only one or two would come out successfully. WHY? Its because you have to find something that compliments YOUR OWN style. –I've seen traders on Twitter with very good track records but followers unable to replicate the results even shadowing their trades. Why? Because its not their style and they are only picking a few trades instead of all of them. Either way, the point is to develop your own style of trading.
The mathematics of draw downs. Losing one third of your capital, you now must gain back around 50 % to get back to even. –Study this table of the mathematics of drawdowns by @SJosephBurns
Options premiums on puts have more premium than calls. Schwarz sells options on the S&P 500 300 + points OTM on puts and calls around 80-100 points OTM
Firewalls: Currently short 2180 calls but long 2200 calls on back spread so he can adjust and diminishes the margin requirement he needs to post.
"Oscillators precede price. You must use them over and over again until you can really tee it up."–This is a marathon, not a sprint. For Schwartz, the market gives him a feeling with his methodology. He is not systematic but is self described as a synthesizer, taking in all of the information and trying to setup lower risk entries with high rewards.
"The key to being a great trader is to be flexible." Schwartz can switch from long to short over a news event or something he sees. He talked about a story where one trader followed him into a trade and then shortly after flipped the position and went the opposite way. He owed nothing to that other trader, caveat emptor.
"Willing your position to win (adding to losers or pyramiding), does not lead to happiness."–A lot of self development teaches you to just believe in yourself and your goals will come true but the market cannot be willed by one person, so willing your way to success is a chance at blowing up.
Here is the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Scridb filter
I have been trying out CQG so that I can look into what they offer. So far, it's a bit annoying relearning all of the basics that I am so used to i.e. manipulating charts, the symbol methodology and market subscriptions, watchlists etc… But, one advantage is that it appears CQG is a total solution; charting, backtesting & research and execution. The integrated client is expensive at around $500 per month and they make you pay for data if you want real historical data. Or you can plug in your own third party data.
I found this video on the Turtles' Trend Following System that is a good primer if you have looked into trend following or read a book about the Turtles historic success.
Do you use CQG? Have you used it before and found something better for your style of trading? Do you trade similar to the Turtle's trend following system, breakout system or have you looked into it?
Let me know what you think in the comments section below. Happy Trading.Scridb filter
Life (trading) Parable: A woman moved to India to study with a guru in order to know everything in the universe. The guru supplied her with stacks of books and left her alone so she could study.
Every morning, the guru returned to the cave to monitor the woman's progress. In his hand, he carried a heavy wooden cane.
Each morning, he asked her the same question: "Have you learned everything there is to know yet?" Each morning, her answer was the same. "No," she said, "I haven't." The guru would then strike her over the head with his cane.
This scenario repeated itself for months. One day the guru entered the cave, asked the same question, heard the same answer, and raised his cane to hit her in the same way, but the woman grabbed the cane from the guru, stopping his assault in midair.
Relieved to end the daily batterings but fearing reprisal, the woman looked up at the guru. To her surprise, the guru smiled. "Congratulations," he said, "you have graduated. You now know everything you need to know."
"How's that?" the woman asked.
"You have learned that you will never learn everything there is to know," he replied. "And you have learned how to stop the pain."
As traders, one of the most important lessons you can ever learn is how to stop the pain. Go to a Casino and sit at a Blackjack table long enough and you will eventually hear a sad story about a losing player that keeps coming back. He boldly says that "the casino has been built on money that was won from me," as if that is a badge of honor. Clearly this man did not know how to make the pain stop.
When a trade is going against you, you have options. You can immediately start reducing size or you can take the trade off. You do not have to sit there and watch money leave your account. You don't even have to trade later in the day or even the next day. There will be opportunities next week or next month. Learning to stop the pain is indeed an invaluable lesson. Patience is of course a virtue.
As traders, we have to accept that we cannot know everything. We cannot follow every single stock. We cannot beat ourselves up for not buying the hot IPO that just won't stop going up (thanks GPRO, you are giving traders serious regret ;] ). We lie to ourselves, "I knew I should have bought that!" We cannot take advantage of every opportunity. We cannot sell the tops and buy the bottoms with consistency. We cannot know everything about trading. Face it.
I've read over 100 trading books. I cannot estimate how many scholarly papers and news articles I've read but I'm way up there too. I've interacted with other traders on social media. I've worked for a mutual fund and hedge fund. And guess what… I will never discover the holy grail of trading. I will never "perfect" this craft. I need to be okay with that if I am to be successful and happy trading.
Many of us traders love the pursuit. It's fun to wake up and try to be 1 percent better than we were yesterday. It's what man has always done. It's fantastic we found something to keep us engaged and mentally stimulated. It's fascinating to study the market from all the different perspectives. But in the end we need to be humble to the markets. We need to respect the money, the process and not break our own rules. If we can do this over a long enough period of time the success will come.

I'm not a big fan of the fundamentals in my trading strategy. However, it is important sometimes to step back and get the broader view. In the past two weeks traders (and I) have been surprised and hurt by the sharp sell off and increased volatility. As a result, they searched for answers, "WHY?!"
It's not all bad, the trend is still up. Christmas is coming up and surely some retailers will excel. Oil is down and might sport a "2" for a gallon at pumps which has to be great for the consumer. There are always opportunities on the horizon. Top calling has been a bad game to be in for many years and I continue to think that will be the case going forward. Have a plan, trade with the risk managed.
When volatility increases, trade smaller otherwise you risk getting stopped on the swings.Scridb filter
I have been lucky enough to work with and network with some amazing traders. Here are 7 things these winners do in the market to pull out millions.
1. They are patient with their setups and exits.
If what they are looking for is not there, it's just not there. No need to argue with yourself and put on a small position or get sucked into coming into a position too early. They have seen enough moves to know when to get in and they are very patient for the right setup.
If a position has moved against them, they aren't freaking out. Sometimes they trade around a loser as long as overall risk parameters are still in place and there is a real opportunity in the chart and not revenge trading or trading to "get back to even."
2. They move on very quickly from losses.
There is nothing to revenge or avenge against, since they pull money out of the market. There is nothing to get back from that one stock they lost with. They have the tools, skills and confidence to not fret over the losses. It happens and is part of the plan.
3. They are contrarian.
Yes, that means when everyone sees an obvious chart pattern that sucks in the shorts and scares out the retail money for the imminent crash, they are long in size. Sorry, but if CNBC knows about it, it's not likely to happen. They know when to trade against the sentiment and emotions of the market. It's not hard to understand, if you do the same things everyone else does, you will get the same results as everyone else. You must be different to outperform.
4. Their emotions are in check.
Sure they can celebrate a win or a streak and be proud of their trading results but compared to newer traders swearing at their screens, or turning away because positions are moving against them and they have no exit plan, these big time winners know that controlling your emotions is huge in this game. There's no room for an emotional error.
5. They have winners that greatly outpace their losers.
If you are scalping ES futures for 1-2 points and then take a 10 point loser your risk reward is skewed heavily out of your favor. You need to have big winners and hold onto them in this game. If you find yourself taking small winners and holding onto losers stop and regroup. Maybe the emotions are beating you into thinking you are winning taking these small profits, but over the long haul you will lose unless your win rate is extremely high. Reading Market Wizards, you find the same optionality across many different types of trading masters.
6. They adapt to what the market is showing them.
If the market is less favorable, they might still find trades but do it in smaller size. When volatility is increasing, most of them are trading smaller. The huge momentum winners of 2013 got whacked. People who only knew that one trade are now just figuring out that they need other types of trades. Big time traders adapt to what the market is showing them.
7. They are humble and generous.
The people that think they are something special get wiped out. Keeping the ego down is necessary. If you do your homework and approach these traders in the right way, and respect their time, they are more than willing to share a few things with you or answer a (relevant) question or two.
