Demolition crews working at the site of the old Wailuku Post Office and Federal Building Tuesday morning discovered a time capsule dating back to 1959, according to Maui County officials.
Contract workers for Betsill Brothers Construction were in the process of removing the cornerstone of the building when they discovered a rectangular metal cannister underneath. Workers were at the time trying to preserve the cornerstone which says "United States of America, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President, 1959."
Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa was on Oahu at the time of the discovery. In his place, Managing Director Keith Regan removed the time capsule and its contents.
Inside was a letter from the general contractor who built the building, Thomas T. Tanaka of Honolulu, a book of blueprints of the building itself and a copy of the Maui News with the story of the new Post Office building on the front page, dated September 19, 1959.
"What a great find," said Regan. "Our records did not indicate there was a time capsule in the building."
According to the contractor's letter, the price to build the Post Office was $639,055. The cost to demolish the building is $604,000.
Workers began tearing down the building on Jan. 7 as part of the county's Campus Master Plan for Wailuku. The old building had issues with asbestos, black mold and other infrastructure problems.
Once demolished, the county will use the property as a temporary parking lot. In time another building will be constructed that will enable departments to move their offices out of One Main Plaza, saving the County about $1 million in rent each year.

What is art? While its essence and boundaries are hard to encompass, Webster's defines it as "Stuff made with paint and clay and shit. Sometimes it's dancing around too or doing something kinda queer." This vagueness has allowed for all manners of oddities to be stamped as art and sold at exorbitant prices.
Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the gullible schmuck with too much cash. However, this flexibility has allowed far too many "artists" to abandon enriching the zeitgeist in favor of being a smartass at art's expense.
6Marcel DuChamp's "Fountain"
What the Hell is That?
You are in the presence of greatness. In 2004, 500 British art world professionals, all clad in berets, selected Fountain as the most influential artwork of the 20th century. It was emblematic of the entire Dada movement and has since inspired independent thinkers everywhere to buy matching uniforms at Hot Topic and brag online about how O.G. their atheism is. The masterwork that sparked all of this is a urinal rotated 90 degrees from its functional position and signed with the pseudonym "R. Mutt."
Why We're Calling 'Shenanigans'
We get that the Dada folks loved the anti-rational, but everybody knows the fundamental underpinning of any work of art is a firm understanding of plumbing. Even with adequate water flow restored to this appliance, it would merely pool, leech up residual mystery crusts, and drain into the back. It would in no way function as a fountain.
Okay, so maybe that's the point, that they're calling it "Fountain" and it's not one. Of course that overlooks the fact that most everything in the known universe that doesn't have a urinal cake in it is also not a fountain. A brick or a wad of tissue would have actually been more poignant entitled "Fountain" respectively. Hell, you can stick that title on that video of a monkey peeing into its own mouth and you'd have ramped up the irony to award-winning levels.
Regardless, Duchamp, awash in the heady daze of knowing he could sell anything with his dazzling French accent, tipped over the nearest slab of porcelain and called it Le Art. More specifically, shenanigart.
5Serrano Andres' "Piss Christ"
What the Hell is That?
Religion has always been a hotbed topic for art and the forms of expressions around it are accordingly inflammatory. For years, attempts at artistic blasphemy played out like a round of Name That Tune.
"I can denigrate that messiah in a triptych"
" ... I can denigrate that messiah in two erotically posed statues."
"I can ... denigrate that messiah ... in one photograph."
"Smear that deity."
Many have opted for subtle jabs, others for outright defamation, but Serrano Andres' stab at it stands out as being the most fratboyish. What you're witnessing is a small plastic crucifix submerged in the artist's urine, as captured by photograph.
Why We're Calling 'Shenanigans'
Probably more striking than anything is the undeniable shoddiness of the photograph. It looks more like Christ captured in amber, a notion that has Michael Crichton creaming his jeans over the potential for a Jurassic Jesus trilogy. We don't know what creative lighting was employed to give the effect Serrano created, but we can say that the coloration indicates that he should probably be seeing his urologist about his failing kidneys pronto. The Lord acts in mysterious ways.
Submerging a crucifix in urine sounds more like a preamble to a stunt on Jackass than it does art. You can practically hear Serrano goading Johnny Knoxville in the background to "Drink the Jesus Piss, dude! C'mon! Drink it, pussy!"
Still, peeing on the son of God is pretty ballsy--perhaps Serrano had rich artistic intentions? Or not. Consider that Serrano received $15,000 from of the taxpayer-funded National Endowment for the Arts for the work as well. This saucy bastard made a quick fortune sponsored by an overwhelmingly Christian tax base to dunk a crucifix in his piss, a process that probably cost him $5 to develop at a Fotomat kiosk. It was such a tremendous payday that he even went on to produce Madonna and Child II, in which the subject is likewise submerged in urine. Mysteriously, the motif had managed to play itself out already.

SBA.gov Website Focuses on Specific Needs of Small Businesses
After gathering feedback in small business focus groups in Baltimore, Richmond and Washington D.C., SBA is moving ahead with a series of communication initiatives that highlight how its programs and services can help entrepreneurs. In the process, the agency's website at SBA.gov is pulling in increased traffic and engaging more entrepreneurs via social media.
Using a variety of tactics, including the SBA.gov website, email campaigns and social media, we're packaging and sharing information about our programs to provide small business owners with a one-stop resource built around key topics.
For example, through targeted outreach and social media, one topic -- how small businesses can sell to the federal government and tap into the $100 billion that the government awards to small businesses each year -- saw a 72 percent increase in visits to the government contracting classroom page. Those visits resulted in a 255 percent registration increase in "Gov't Contracting 101" courses.
Another topic highlights resources for women-owned businesses and has spurred a 92 percent total increase in page views by current or aspiring women small business owners. Other topics include tips to help reduce their taxes and how to take advantage of the President's Startup America campaign.
The SBA has listened and acted and is putting the needs of small businesses front and center to demonstrate SBA's continued commitment to better serve the needs of the nation's 29 million small business owners.
Interested small businesses and prospective entrepreneurs should go to http://www.sba.gov/ and follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Blogs.

Laurier unveils new Teaching Fellowship Program to recognize teaching excellence
Aug 26/13
A new Laurier Teaching Fellowship Program will provide faculty members and librarians with opportunities to pursue teaching and learning initiatives, and high impact practices that foster integrated and engaged learning and student success. It will also give fellows the chance to be part of a network of teachers with whom to collaborate and promote teaching excellence.
The one-year fellowship will provide up to five faculty members and librarians per year with $10,000 each in support of their proposed program of activities. In addition, fellows will work together with Pat Rogers, associate vice-president: Teaching and Learning, to organize an event or initiative to benefit the Laurier community.
We want to honour faculty for their educational leadership and excellent teaching, said Rogers. We also want to make visible Lauriers enormous strengths in teaching and learning, and have fellows act as university-wide advocates for initiatives that support these efforts.
The idea for a teaching fellowship was championed by student leaders and developed by the teaching and learning council, an advisory body to Rogers. The council was established by Deborah MacLatchy, vice-president: Academic & Provost.
"Research funding is critical in ensuring success of the scholarly work done at universities, said MacLatchy. It is equally important that we value and support the work of faculty and librarians who are engaged in strengthening approaches to teaching that will enhance learning outcomes and the engagement of students in their academic programs.
The Fellowship, which will be administered through Teaching Support Services, is open to full-time associate or full professors, including professional teaching faculty, or full-time professional librarians III or IV.
The selection committee will be looking for candidates with a record of excellence in teaching and learning and/or teaching and learning support, as well as leadership in teaching within their faculty, library, department or program. The dean, university librarian or department/program chair or coordinator must also endorse the candidate.
Some examples of programs fellows may be interested in pursuing include adapting a course into a blended format, establishing a discipline-specific teaching development program for teaching assistants, or developing a system of metrics for assessing teaching quality and learning effectiveness.
There will be a maximum of one fellow per faculty or library per year. After the first year of the fellowship program, fellows may apply for a one-year extension. After five years they may apply for a second fellowship.
Interested candidates are asked to submit a recent curriculum vitae, a teaching dossier, a project plan, and letters of support by Sept. 20, 2013. For more details, visit: www.wlu.ca/teachingandlearning.

A ghost ship possibly filled with disease-ridden rats is adrift in the Atlantic Ocean and may be heading for landfall on the coast of Britain.
The Independent reports that the Lyubov Orlova is an abandoned ocean liner that was being towed to the Dominican Republic for salvage in Feb. 2013 when the tow line broke, setting it adrift into the Atlantic without a crew or a tracking beacon. Nobody has seen it since. Maritime law allows salvage hunters to claim abandoned ships if they can hunt them down, but nobody can find the potentially rat-infested Lyubov Orlova.
One salvager reported that there are likely "a lot of rats" onboard and that they would likely be diseased and eating each other for survival.
Several reports speculate that storms could drive the Lyubov Orlova toward the English, Scottish or Irish coast. However, the BBC quotes representatives of the Irish and British coast guards as saying they have set to see any sign that the ship is heading their way.

Film aims to capture positive view of cityBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | July 09,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Nick Grandchamp, left, and Sarah Schreiber are featured in a new anti-drug movie that will open Saturday at Merchants Hall in Rutland.Kyle Finck and Hannah Bristol arent from Rutland or Vermont for that matter.
But after seeing the way the city was portrayed in national media stories about heroin abuse in Vermont earlier this year, the two Middlebury College students began work on a documentary premiering Saturday in Rutland.
They hope it represents a more accurate depiction of the citys people and spirit.
The focus of the documentary, Straight Out of Rutland, is a young couple Nick Grandchamp and Sarah Schreiber who are followers of straight-edge punk, a subculture of the punk music scene whose members abstain from activities such as drinking, smoking, drugs and promiscuous sex.
We wanted to tell a different story, said Finck, who graduated from the college in May and now lives in New York. The traditional story was about urban blight and drugs but thats not what we were seeing.
Bristol, who spent a semester working in Rutland as part of her environmental studies program, said it was a conversation over breakfast and a New York Times story about heroin in Rutland that focused the project for her and Finck.
I was telling him about the class and about working in Rutland and the people Id met there, when I saw the front-page heroin story and couldnt believe the contrast between what I read and what Id seen.
Finck, who had just finished a documentary on mens basketball, suggested using the camera and editing equipment he still had to make a documentary about Rutland.
The straight-edge scene in Rutland wasnt their first choice.
Originally, we were trying to connect with the mayor, a police officer and a community member, Finck said. We wanted to follow them and shoot from a fly-on-the-wall perspective.
But before those participants could be lined up, the filmmakers met Grandchamp and Schreiber, a young Rutland couple trying to change their community through music and straight edge concepts.
Grandchamp is a member of two straight-edge punk bands, including Get A Grip, which will play after the 20-minute documentary is aired at Merchants Hall on Saturday. He he loves the city he grew up in and hopes to change views of it and the young people living there through his music.
I want to show people they can do something besides drugs, said Grandchamp, 27. They can do something theyre passionate about and they love.
The punk music he loves is the perfect vehicle for change, he said.
Sometimes to make change you need to get angry and the music is like a call to action, he said.
Schreiber, 22, isnt in a band, but she said she follows the straight-edge tenet of doing good works in her community through her job at the Homeless Prevention Center in Rutland.
In the documentary, the filmmakers followed her on visits with clients, including a trip to the Serenity House residential detox program in Wallingford.
I think the film is more about raising awareness that theres something being done about the problem than just the fact that there is a problem, Schreiber said.
Straight Out of Rutland will air at 6 p.m. on Saturday in Merchants Hall followed by a question and answer session and musical sets by four bands, including Get A Grip, Morning Comes Early, Phil Henry Acoustic Trio and George Nostrand.

LMYAO on discovering/reading this blog! Related to this would be the hypothetical "do you want to see me die?" Once, during mouthy rebellious youth (yes, oxymoron) period, I made critical error of flippantly responding "sure, why not?". Don't think that I sat comfortably for a week. Life lesson learned early: no responses required for hypothetical questions.
Looking forward to visiting blog when time permits :)

There was a period during my teen years when my mom would scream that because of me, she was going to die early.
This cause me so much stress and grief...
- August 29, 2010 at 7:01 AM
SO TRUE. my mom (japanese) not frequently said she wanted to die, but threatened to kill herself because i was too embarrassing of a daughter. i often disagreed with her and expressed my sadness to her openly about not understanding where all of her hatred and disapproval of everything i did was coming from. multiple times she has locked herself in the bathroom with bottles of pills and a few times with a knife with me screaming at the other side of the door and begging her not to kill herself. so traumatizing to me still.

LOL! This is awesome! I just discovered your blog today, and I am ROLLING on the ground laughing so much that I can barely breathe!
I'm a 36 year-old "Korean Mom" to a beautiful Korean/Hispanic/European 6 year-old girl, and my husband (who is Hispanic European... my family's initial reaction to his ethnicity is a whole different talk show) and I laugh at how the way I parent my daughter is looked down upon by a lot of Koreans because I usually do the opposite of the things that my parents did while raising me (and traumatizing to a certain degree). Your blog lightens the traumatic moments of my childhood and gives me something to laugh about as I look for a counselor to work out my repressed anger! LOL!!!

I really loved this album, and now i just want to listen afterlights EP
Written by peggazuzz on 02.10.2012 at 15:43
The rating here is gotta be some kind of conspiracy.. This band is continuing their way downwards, and the new singer is nothing special. Do not in any way deserve a place on the top list of 2012..
Written by peggazuzz on 03.10.2012 at 17:08
Maybe I will. But a Gathering without Anneke is not the same...
Quote:When The West Pole came out, I was worried the The Gathering's story was over. It wasn't awful, but it was clearly their weakest (barring the similarily transitional Almost a Dance, of course). It felt like the band had lost their direction. The lack of cohesion was probably in part due to three different lead singers, but the songwriting was also uneven. Needless to say, I was nervous to hear if the band could pick up the pieces on this album. They did.
Disclosure continues in the guitar-driven rock direction of its predecessor. Gone are much of the reverb, electronic sound effects, piano balladry and heavy beats of their last few Anneke records. All those elements are still there, but the overall sound has a different focus. Some strings and a trumpet accompany the band, making it the warmest and most organic album they've ever made.
As Shoulton states below, the vocals are pretty central to moving the songs along when they're around. While their new sound is pleasant and airy, it does lose some in depth and substance. With their high point on Souvenirs, almost every element was important and powerful. This time there's just less going on beneath the vocals. But then we come to the spaced-out jams between verses. They are the best thing this album has the offer. They grow to spectacular heights and show what these guys are capable of. I can only imagine the mindbend it would be to hear I Can See Four Miles live; it's like Black Light District with fireworks and color. The trumpet on Meltdown and Heroes for Ghosts is divine and took me completely by surprise. Especially in the former, it's in stark contrast to the very electronic beginning.
The album does have a bit of filler, unfortunately. Namely, I don't care for Paralyzed or Missing Seasons. It's not that the melodies are necessarily weaker, but the songs are too straightforward and don't really have anything other than the vocals driving them. Paralyzed at least has a familiar, darker vibe, but Missing Seasons is way too saccharine for me. Surrounded by all these epic tracks with two-minute post-rock interludes, they just fall woefully short.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this album is. It's still growing on me and might gain a full four stars with time. I can't put the band's albums into order of preference, but it stands comparison to their earlier work. It's a clear step forward in their evolution, but it retains the core of what makes The Gathering great and in many ways harkens way back to How to Measure a Planet?. It's also the album where Silje Wergeland comes into her own and solidifies her place at the band's front.
Also, I love how they pulled the In Motion thing again on Gemini I & II.
Highlights: Paper Waves, Meltdown, Heroes for Ghosts and I Can See Four Miles. Yeah... that's half the album.

News Detail
Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Cora Weiss Coming to Fisher October 22
Cora Weiss, President, Hague Appeal for Peace and three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will be a guest speaker at St. John Fisher College on October 22 in conjunction with the "1,000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe" exhibit now on display in Lavery Library. Her talk will begin at 6:00 p.m. in Cleary Auditorium, with a reception immediately following. Tony Jenkins, Vice President for Academic Affairs of the National Peace Academy (NPA) and peace education expert, will accompany Weiss for her talk. The event is free and open to the public.
Weiss has been a well-known peace activist since the early 1960s when she was a national leader of Women Strike for Peace, which played a major role in bringing about the end of atmospheric nuclear testing. She was a leader of the Vietnam anti-war movement, co-organizing demonstrations and directing the committee that arranged for regular correspondence between prisoners of war (POW) and their families. That committee brought three POWs home during the war.
She has devoted her life to the movements for civil rights, human rights, women's empowerment, and peace. She was particularly engaged in supporting African liberation from colonialism and apartheid.
Weiss is a founder of the Global Campaign for Peace Education; Honorary Patron and frequent speaker for the Committee on Teaching about the United Nations; Member of the Council on Foreign Relations; and Member of the NGO Committee on the Status of Women. In addition, she was President of the International Peace Bureau; Co-Founder and Director of The Riverside Church Disarmament Program; Non-governmental Representative to the World Conferences on Women (Nairobi, 1985) and (Beijing , 1995); and Executive Director of the African-American Students Foundation (Airlift). In the 1970s, she had her own radio show called, Cora Weiss Comments - A Microphone for Women.
She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 and 2001, and again in 2005, when she was among the "1,000 Women for Peace" nominated as a group. She and her husband, Peter, received recognition from the Phelps Stokes Fund for their service to Africa and commitment to justice and peace. She was the first recipient of the William Sloane Coffin Award for Peace and Justice offered by the Yale Divinity School in October 2003.
Tony Jenkins
Prior to joining the NPA, Jenkins was the Co-Director of the Peace Education Center at Teachers College, Columbia University, for 10 years. He has worked around the world supporting the development of "learning communities" of peace educators to address and transform local manifestations of violence through education and active citizen participation. His current work and research interests focus on examining the impacts and effectiveness of peace education methods and pedagogies in nurturing personal, social, and political change and transformation. Tony's areas of expertise include teacher training in peace education, peace pedagogy, gender and peace, and disarmament education.
Lavery Library, the Ethics Minor Program, and the Jennifer Koon Peacemaking Fund will also sponsor a free Peace Education Workshop featuring Jenkins on October 22 at 3:00 p.m. in the Lower Level of the library. Space is limited to 20, and lunch will be provided. Contact Linda MacCammon (email@example.com) to reserve a seat.
The "1,000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe" exhibit will be on display at the College until November 30. The exhibit has been seen on an international level and features 1,000 women who have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Weiss is one of the featured women.
For more information about the event, text "PeaceWomen" to 99000, or visit the Library's website.

WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative—frequently asked questions
The WorldCat Search API terms and conditions will be updated to link to the new WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities policy. This change will result in libraries now having two different situations when accessing bibliographic records as they relate to WorldCat Search API usage:
- For records that your library currently has holdings attached, the WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities would apply. And the WorldCat Search API can be used to provide the full MARC record for any potential user.
- For all other records identifying items not held by the library, the API can still be used for discovery purposes with no change to the current API terms and conditions for these records.
An OCLC member may make normal and customary use of data extracted from WorldCat that represents or enriches the member's own holdings in the member's system(s) and services. Such uses might include loading data into a library catalog, discovery system, library consortium catalog, resource-sharing system or the like for the purposes of supporting discovery of and access to the member's collections, supporting bibliographic verification, inventory control, circulation or supporting private study, teaching, learning, academic or scientific research.
Additional uses of data extracted from WorldCat that represent or enrich the member's own holdings that involve transferring or making the WorldCat data available outside the member's systems or services to another party are discussed below.
Yes. Please note, however that the policy asks that in deploying such transfer and/or redistribution protocols involving WorldCat data, members use them in the context of OCLC member community norms, OCLC's public purpose and this policy's intent.
In the context of machine-to-machine transfers of WorldCat data, OCLC member responsibilities include making reasonable efforts to ensure awareness of WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative among those who make subsequent use of that data. If a member becomes aware of machine transfers and subsequent uses of its WorldCat data that are inconsistent with the policy, the member is encouraged to discuss the matter with OCLC (email firstname.lastname@example.com) and/or the organization or individual.
Yes, the member may make available or transfer WorldCat data that represents its own collections to an agent (see policy Glossary); however, the policy asks members to take certain steps.
- OCLC has in place existing agreements with many agents. To transfer or make WorldCat data that represents its own collections available to these agents in connection with the receipt of services from the agents, the OCLC member need only check this list to confirm that the agent has a written agreement with OCLC covering the service(s) the member is to receive.
- If the list does not indicate the existence of such an agreement, and the agent's use of the WorldCat data is limited to performing services contracted for by the OCLC member, the OCLC member library can establish its own agreement with the agent. The policy suggests that the agreement contain language limiting the agent's use of the WorldCat data (see Appendix 1 of the policy).
- When language limiting the agent's use of WorldCat data is not appropriate for the agent's required use of the WorldCat data or acceptable to the agent, the OCLC member should request (email email@example.com) that OCLC approach the agent to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement between the agent and OCLC. The agreement will generally contain terms comparable to those described in Appendix 2 of the policy.
Yes. Please note, however, that the policy asks that in making extracted WorldCat data available or transferring it, members consider such actions and subsequent uses of the transferred WorldCat data (including copying, displaying, publishing, modifying, reformatting and/or creating works or services from) in the context of OCLC member community norms, OCLC's public purpose and this policy's intent.
If the scholar requires large amounts of WorldCat data, the scholar may be referred directly to OCLC (email email@example.com) to request access to WorldCat data for the purposes of academic or scientific research. In keeping with its public purposes, OCLC has a long-standing tradition of providing qualified researchers with access to WorldCat data for the purpose of qualified academic or scientific research or study.
To determine the answer, the OCLC member should determine the type of nonmember or agency:
- Is the requestor an individual scholar requesting use for his or her personal academic or scientific research or study, a library consortium (see policy Glossary) or a public agency working on behalf of libraries, or another library, or an educational or cultural or scholarly institution requesting use for its institutional or collaborative re-use ? If yes, grant the request provided the requestor's intended subsequent uses of your data are consistent with OCLC member community norms, OCLC's public purpose and this policy's intent.
- Is the requestor an 'agent' (see policy Glossary) that you have retained to provide services to your library? If yes, which case applies?
a. The agent's use of my WorldCat data is limited to what is necessary to perform the services contracted for my institution. If this is the case, grant the request, ensuring either (1) the services to be provided by the agent are covered by an agreement between OCLC and the agent as indicated on OCLC's list of existing agreements or (2) that your agreement with the agent contains language limiting the agent's use of your WorldCat data as suggested in Appendix 1 of the policy.
b. The agent wishes to retain copies of my WorldCat data for the agent's own business purposes, beyond what is necessary to perform the services for me. If this is the case, check OCLC's list of existing agreements and (1) if an agreement with the agent authorizing use for the agent's desired business purpose is listed, grant the request or (2) if such an agreement with the agent is not listed, ask OCLC to approach the agent to propose a mutually acceptable agreement between the agent and OCLC. The agreement will generally contain terms comparable to those described in Appendix 2 of the policy. Please contact OCLC via email at email@example.com.
- Is the requestor another type of organization? If yes, check OCLC's list of existing agreements and (a) if an agreement with the organization authorizing use for the organization's desired business purpose is listed, grant the request or (b) if such an agreement with the organization is not listed, ask OCLC to approach the organization to propose a mutually acceptable agreement between the organization and OCLC. The agreement will generally contain terms comparable to those described in Appendix 2 of the policy. Please contact OCLC via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
It is impossible to anticipate all of the conceivable uses to which members might want or need to put WorldCat data. OCLC members are encouraged to discuss with OCLC any uses that do not appear to be covered by this policy. You can contact OCLC at firstname.lastname@example.com. If a particular use is determined to not be covered, OCLC and the member will seek a mutually agreeable resolution of the matter.
As stated in the policy Section 2C, "while, on behalf of its members, OCLC claims copyright rights in WorldCat as a compilation, it does not claim copyright ownership of individual records." These rights are based on OCLC's intellectual contribution to WorldCat as a whole, including OCLC's selection, arrangement and coordination of the material in WorldCat. To the extent copyright rights exist in an individual bibliographic record in WorldCat, the copyright rights in the record would vest with the author of the record. Modifications, corrections and enhancements to a record may vest the author of those changes with copyright rights in the changes.
Having said that, the policy takes a very different starting point than who owns the records, what that means, or whether WorldCat data is public or proprietary. Instead, the policy begins with a new premise — the conviction that WorldCat is a shared community resource that is intended to benefit the cooperative of members who contribute to its growth and financially support it. Another principle underlying the policy is that the cooperative relies on WorldCat to share resources, reduce costs, and increase members' visibility and impact in the communities they serve. To that end, the policy sets out a framework of self-governing behaviors intended to sustain WorldCat, the services based on it, the outcomes those services produce, and the cooperative itself over time.
Consider what would happen if WorldCat (or a significant portion of it) were released into the public domain: in transferring large swathes of WorldCat records to non-member organizations, members in effect would be transferring the cooperative's chief asset to organizations with no obligation to invest in it. The Record Use Policy Council's analysis suggests that this would increase free riding, diminish the incentive to be a member, and eventually compromise the economic viability of the cooperative. The utility of the database for members, their partners and agents, and other organizations, would also be compromised as WorldCat fragments, resulting in a less comprehensive record supply, scattering efforts at collaborative knowledge organization, raising the costs of resource sharing, and reducing the global discoverability and visibility of members' collections.

Then, I went to her shop and realized I was in trouble.
I had to try to pick two from a collection of such adorable, vintage-y (that's a word, dammit) looking items.
I think you see where this is going. Cue stress.
The thing is, her jewelry line and I? We're birds of a feather, peas in a pod. In other words, I adore her line. I finally decided to go with a bird theme - though the starfish necklace was a close second.
I chose the swallow necklace because, let's face it, birds are very representative of spring and new beginnings.

A new restaurant in LA adds a 3% surcharge to every bill to pay for the health insurance of their employees
. Is this something you want to pay for or should it be included in their menu prices? What if the charge was for electricity or uniforms?
Should be included in the price of the menu items. Don't whine to me about the cost of running your business.ReplyCancel
The price of the dish covers that stuff already. Why would you split it specifically into a surcharge instead of just changing the prices?ReplyCancel
At least they are getting insurance. Where I am, the chains hotels etc. Are only hiring PT help ( maximum 30 hrs/wk) so they dont have to give benefitsReplyCancel
Should be included in their menu prices. When you make a statement like that on your menu or check, you're being political and letting everyone know just how political you are. They should include it in the price of the meal and get over it!ReplyCancel
It should be included in their price. Sounds like they're making a statement about the cost of Obama care. I'm a pastry chef; we wouldn't do that where I work for fear of pissing off some of our clientele.ReplyCancel
I practically have to pay for my valet's rent but that doesn't stop me from going out everyday.ReplyCancel
It's a ham-fisted attempt at social engineering on the part of the restaurateur. He's trying to make his diners feel like the Affordable Care Act is placing a burden on them. It's just another part of the cost of doing business, exactly like power or uniforms or cutlery, but he's making a point of separating it out so his customers will feel hard-done by.
I can find better places to eat that don't try to manipulate me in the voting booth in the process.ReplyCancel
You want to be political, post a notice. " Due to federal regulations via healthcare and small businesses, we are forced to raise our prices 3% Thank you"ReplyCancel
Good god, I would gladly pay an extra 3% on EVERYTHING just to know I was helping people have health coverage.
It's like when Papa John whined that they were going to have to up the price of pizza by 14 cents. WTF, is that all it takes to help people get preventive care and see the dr. outside of an ER? Seems pretty small to me.ReplyCancel
What makes it any different than any other business expense? You bake your costs into your prices or you go out of business. This is some fascist restaurant owner playing up on the racist insane reaction on the right to Obamacare. If they called it the Health Insurance Industry Full Employment Act (which is closer to what the law is – insurance industry lobbyists wrote the damn thing) nobody would care. Why are for profit businesses allowed to profit on the sick & dying? The whole thing is obscene. We should have setup a single payer health care system in 1948 when it was first proposed like every other first world country.ReplyCancel
This is just another way that employers shift costs from themselves onto their clients. Factor that into the prices like everyone else! That's one of the biggest points made by people who argue that mandatory tipping systems should be eliminated altogether, since having these systems shifts responsibilities away from employers. I disagree there but I digress. That being said, if you live in a country where many service workers live off tips and you don't tip, you are screwing the worker over twice because the employer isn't required to pick up that slack. I don't think the issue is what the surcharge pays for, it's whether the client or employer should pay for those costs. However, it sounds a lot better to say, hey you're paying for their health care then for our bills. Is that their argument for why this is a good thing? That these employees would not get these benefits if it were not for the surcharge? And I agree, they're trying to be overtly political & gimmicky with this.ReplyCancel
I like what JAS said. I think it's stupid. I hate tipping anyway (I always tip 20%). I think the job should be paid like any other at a decent wage that doesn't require tipping. I don't get tipped when I do a great job for my customers. No one ever reports their tips and my sister makes thousands tax free this way. She could use some of that to pay for health care.ReplyCancel
They are doing this to get around not being able to share tips with cook staff (state regulations). They are able to add the 3% to the bill & give that to the cook staff without any tax implications & meet state tip regulations. It is an optional fee – and you can adjust your tip to the server (say 17% in lieu of 20%) – the owners have said the staff is okay with that too – as the intent was to share the tips in a legal manner.ReplyCancel
There's a tea room I adore near my house but I won't go there any more because they became tea party crazies and think it's cute they own a tea room and post all their tea party BS all over. I come to your restaurant to escape. I don't want to be inflicted with your wacko political musings as I eat and try to unwind.ReplyCancel
Rational comments are my gateway drug, Liddy. Next thing you know, you'll be dehumanizing celebs and talking about buttsecks. It is a slippery slope 😉ReplyCancel
Here, the employer pays health-care benefits, but the premiums are deductible on their income tax.
I think it's stupid to put a surcharge like that on a patron's receipt. It must make the patron feel uncomfortable, and the server feel like a beggar. I think if the restaurant owner had ever actually served tables, he or she wouldn't have done that.ReplyCancel
"I hate tipping anyway (I always tip 20%). I think the job should be paid like any other at a decent wage that doesn't require tipping." Yes, this. Restaurant owners already get away with paying far less than minimum wage in many states, forcing wait staff to live on the tips (and the generosity of the people they serve).
I'd be willing to pay more to make sure that the people serving my food aren't coming in sick and passing it on to me!ReplyCancel
Yeah, Obamacare – the plan originally introduced by Republicans as the Heritage Plan, renamed Romneycare, then vilified when Obama became President – will totally destroy our country by offering health care to people instead of tax breaks to banks.
@WriterGirl, any business that brings politics (of either side) or religion (of any stripe unless it's directly related to religion, like a kosher deli or a Christian bookstore) gets no business from me. Act professionally and don't alienate customers, it's not that hard.ReplyCancel

This, too, is a lie.

Um, cutlery and power are a cost of running a restaurant.
Health insurance?
Not so much.
The ignorance of the comments on this topic, totally depressing.ReplyCancel
You know what, Jay? You're an unpleasant ass who probably has no friends in real life because you can't talk to people respectfully when you disagree with them. Every time you post here, you're just a rude, snotty, and pretentious prick who is now on my ignore list. Go stick your head in Wendy Davis's armpit.ReplyCancel
I think they should just also list the server's wages separately on the list, too.ReplyCancel
In economic terms a business is an intermediary, which means it passes on increases in it's costs, including government mandates. This may be done directly, by increasing prices to customers, or indirectly by reducing staff hours, portion sizes, quality etc. If politicians increase taxes to pay for something they get defeated for re-election,. If politicans force intermediaries to pay for the same thing the public blames the intermediaries for the higher prices, lower quality etc. It honestly amazes me that 9 out of 10 people I speak to don't understand this simple fact of Bookkeeping 101.ReplyCancel
The news says that it is a NEW restaurant. Who says that the overall prize is not the one that would be anyway but disclosing what costs the restaurant in order to let the customers now where their money goes, which they usually don't know at all.
Imagine that the original price was 10.3 bucks. After this, the price of the dish is $10 plus the surcharge. All in all the same, but the customer doesn't think that all that money goes to the owner.
I'm OK with the idea.ReplyCancel
Trying to gin up some kind of frustration on the parts of your customers is only going to alienate them. I don't care if your rent has gone up, wages increased or the ACA has raised your health insurance — it is the cost of doing business.
I don't know about anyone else, but I like the thought of food service workers having insurance that is actually worth having. Shit policies — with high copays or out of pocket costs before it kicks in, are the sort of useless "benefits" that keep sick people from seeing doctors and showing up at work anyway. And, frankly, I would prefer that my salad not come with a side of strep.ReplyCancel
Lol@ Lord DReplyCancel
@Seven, you know I'm not rude or try to start things on here, but I have to admit I agree with Jay. Yes, people need insurance but the way the law is written is that a person has to have it or they will be forced to pay a fine. However, if their job doesn't offer insurance their employers will have to pay a bigger fine. It should be the persons responsibility to get insurance not the people that pay them to do a service. What's to stop Washington decide that since people need a place to live that the employer is supposed to give them a place to live, too?ReplyCancel
@Rowdy, I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with Jay – I was pointing out that the only thing he can say is how stupid everyone is because he doesn't agree with them. He never backed up why he disagrees, just noted how the stupidity of everyone in the comments was soooo very depressing (yet he keeps coming back, apparently depression turns him on).
Jay's smugness aside, if you look at the link I posted in response to Jay, the way the law looks now is very similar to the way the law was initially proposed by the Heritage Foundation. Whether or not you agree with the law itself, acting like Obamacare is a disaster simply because it came under Obama's administration means you're just against it because the Republican party told you it's bad. (I'm not saying YOU believe this, I'm saying that's often the argument used against Obamacare.)

I wouldn't want to do that. I pay a tip of 15% anyway. They need to take care of their own business. Or as suggested, hike the menu prices. I think I might find a different restaurant. Depends on the food. If I'm crazy about the food, I'd just make allowances and go anyway. Otherwise, no.ReplyCancel
It was awesome of @Jay to pop in and claim statements made here are all lies, without providing any proof or examples. Saying something is a lie doesn't make it so.
And Seven is right.
It's sort of like how a certain party were all for the NSA as well, until they decided they weren't.
Rowdy, it's not that Jay disagreed with Seven. We all welcome debate here most of the time. It was the snotty, condescending way in which he did it. If the comments here depress him, okay – fuck him. Let him be depressed. No hair off our heads.
I'm Ok with the extra 3% tax. Nobody's gonna call me a Mr. Pink.ReplyCancel
You wouldn't break down on your bill how much of that cost for the appetizer or entree food was specifically or how much went to your electricity. Why would one do it on a restaurant tab? It seems odd and a good way to alienate the customer. If it's not a legal requirement then there seems to be another agenda with this.ReplyCancel
I know a lot of people disagree with Obamacare, but what does a country do when a significant portion of the population can't afford basic healthcare or premiums? Is a person expected to die because they can't afford hundreds of dollars for medical treatment? What the hell sort of country lets that happen to its citizens? Rent and/or mortgages didn't used to cost 80 percent of one's income.ReplyCancel
@Leek: It is a band aid on a bullet wound. They should have just gone to a single payer system. Then if people want and can afford a better package, they can pay for it themselves.
Personally, I haven't had health insurance in almost 15 years, and I'm not getting it under Obamacare. 1% penalty is a heck of a lot less than the monthly premiums.ReplyCancel
@Jay: If you are going to attack logical, thoroughly thought out and factually supported claims; and especially if you plan on branding a fellow CDANer as a liar, please do so in an acceptable manner. Copy/pasting someone else's claims and writing "lies," without anything to support your claims just makes you look like a hater. I don't know you and maybe you had something compelling to add to the discourse, but you lost your credibility by resorting to name calling for no reason. Good day to you too, sir!ReplyCancel
@Rowdy. There's ways to appropriately disagree with people on here & you obviously know that, because you did that perfectly.
This is a place to come talk shit about Celebs & heckle Enty, not to needlessly start shit with other CDANers. Speaking of which, where is Derek? He didn't stop by today 🙁ReplyCancel

Bill Chait's restaurants are the toast of the town right now. What he and Walter are doing is a good thing. Closing the gap between the front and back of the house. These owner operator chefs are getting rich running a lone restaurant. You want equality in the workplace, and talent in the kitchen where cooks can actually afford to live in the cities they work on then pay for it. Lots of the people who whine about this shit are the same people who were so excited for the ahcaReplyCancel
Not sure what you're getting at here.ReplyCancel
The bad news is that doctors are pretty damn smart. They [and I've talked to MDs and their wives] won't take new patients primarily because they've got the 'new' insurance which doesn't pay a high percentage of charges.
They won't take existing patients who have Medicaid/Medicare unless they're willing to pay the higher charges in cash. The cost of elective procedures is already going through the roof.
I had Lasik surgery a couple of years ago at the same time I had cataract surgery; there was an additional $500 charge that I paid out of pocket. A friend now needs cataract surgery [paid for by insurance] but must pay $6,000 for the same [elective] Lasik surgery. The doctor/hospital is recouping the diminished insurance repayment by upping the direct cost to the patient for the desired but elective surgery.
The US healthcare system will evolve into the British system: People who can afford it will go to private doctors; people with government mandated insurance will go to a limited number of quacks and be put on long waiting lists for procedures.ReplyCancel
God people are so dumb. Why advertise that is why you are increasing the charge. The smart thing to do is to do like this health food restaurant I frequent. They raised their cost due to inflation across the board. Publicizing you are raising costs due to health care reflect badly on your establishment. DumbdumbdumbReplyCancel

West Michigan attracts major sporting events
Posted on October 11, 2013
Sports tourism is a $7 billion business and West Michigan can get a bigger piece of that pie, according to Mike Guswiler, president of the West Michigan Sports Commission.
Guswiler was the featured speaker for the Huntington Breakfast Lecture October 11 at the Seidman Center, sponsored by the Seidman College of Business. Guswiler said West Michigan offers many of the key components needed to attract major youth and amateur sporting events.
"Sports clubs and organizations are looking for cities that offer quality venues, with close hotels and access to restaurants and the city," he said.
Guswiler said in its seven-year existence, the West Michigan Sports Commission has sponsored 300 events for 315,000 athletes that have generated $100 million in visitor spending. He said the Pure Michigan campaign is helping promote the sporting industry with Pure Michigan Sports.
Several major sporting events are already planned in West Michigan for 2014 including the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Final Five Camp, The NCAA DII Track and Field Championships, the U.S. Table Tennis Open, the U.S. Rowing National Master's Championships, and the USA Triathlon Long Course National Championship.
Guswiler is currently overseeing the Meijer State Games of Michigan and construction and operation of the Art Van Sports Complex opening in 2015.

It is the perfect getaway for families with children, whether you are looking for things to do in Sussex on your holidays, enjoying a weekend break or simply having a fun day out with the kids. So, get nose to nose with nature and experience the most memorable fun finding out day out you can possibly imagine.
Animals are only half the fun at Drusillas! Our brilliant play areas including Go Wild! and Go Bananas! have masses of climbing, sliding, jumping and swinging fun, thoughtfully separated for different age groups. The interactive maze, Eden's Eye, takes visitors on an adventure style quest through a host of different worlds and indoors there is Amazon Adventure, a state-of-the-art soft play complex. There are masses of things to do for kids of all ages.
Every day is a Thomas day at Drusillas with Thomas the Tank Engine, Annie and Clarabel offering a train service 362 days a year! Don't miss Diesel around the track, James in the loco shed, Cranky at Sodor Docks and Bulgy the Bus. The Fat Controller also causes a locomotion when he alights at the Park to take control of the efficient running of the railway, see our event days for more details.
Come and explore our latest child-friendly themed attraction – Hello Kitty Secret Garden - which includes a specially designed Hello Kitty car ride, a tea cup ride and a "reach for the sky" hopper ride. And with a Hello Kitty bedroom, beauty parlour and meet and greet character days, it's a fabulous Hello Kitty experience for the whole family.

There are so many things to do and learn and our interactive displays are all designed to bring learning to life. Don't miss the Zoolympics Challenge and remember to pick up your free Animal Spotter Book when you arrive. All in all Drusillas is one of the best family days out in Sussex with plenty of children's activities to keep kids happy and entertained.
Enjoy a great day out with the kids at Drusillas Park, the best small zoo in Sussex, many would say the UK! Award winning Drusillas Zoo Park is home to a wide range of animals, many of which are endangered species.
Established in the 1920s, Drusillas is now home to over 800 animals made up of 100 different species, including children's favourites such as monkeys, penguins, lemurs and meerkats. All of our staff work hard to keep our visitors and our animals happy and safe. For kids who want to get even closer to the action we offer Animal Feeding and Keeper for the Day experiences too.
You'll find animals ranging from endangered species such as exotic Red Pandas and Fennec Foxes to farmyard favourites such as pigs and donkeys. Conservation and animal welfare are of the upmost importance to us and we are proud members of BIAZA (The British Association of Zoos and Aquariums) and EAZA (The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums).
Drusillas welcomes visitors of all ages but the Park is especially suited to families with children under 12 years old. We have a wide range of attractions and play areas to keep the kids entertained, including jungle themed Go Bananas! for the under 6s and Go Wild! for kids age 7-12, not forgetting Amazon Adventure - our indoor soft play, Explorers Lagoon paddling pool and Eden's Eye interactive maze. We also provide baby changing facilities in all our toilets (except those next to the Discovery Centre).
We are home to the South's only permanent Thomas and Friends train ride featuring kids' favourites; Thomas the Tank EngineTM, Annie, Clarabelle, James the Red Engine, Diesel, Bulgy the Bus and Cranky the Crane! After your ride, why not visit the Station Buffet for a sweet treat or the Really Useful Gift Shop for a Thomas the Tank Engine gift?
Drusillas is a fully accessible day out, with disabled parking, low level viewing and is wheelchair friendly throughout.
The park also hosts a wide selection of food and drink outlets to suit all tastes and budgets.

The Phils are swept at home as they lose a see-saw battle with the Blue Jays, 8-7.
The Phils are unable to avoid being swept at home as the tired bullpen is unable to stop the Blue Jays as the Phils lose a see-saw battle with Toronto, 8-7.
The Blue Jays took a quick 2-0 lead in the second as, with one man on, and two men outs, Raul Chavez hits a two-run home run, his second home run of the year, scoring Adam Lind, who had earlier singled. The Phils would get a run back in their half of the second, as Jayson Werth hits a lead-off home run, his twelfth home run of the year, cutting Toronto's early lead down to 2-1. In the third, the Blue Jays would increase their lead, as, with one man on, and one man out, Vernon Wells hits an RBI double, scoring Marco Scutaro, who had earlier walked, and then stole second, to make it 3-1 Blue Jays. The Phils would make it 3-2 Blue Jays in their half of the second as with the bases loaded, and with one man out, Werth would hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Shane Victorino, who had reached first on a force out, 5-4, as Jimmy Rollins, who had earlier walked, was wiped out at second base, had moved to second on Chase Utley's walk, and had then moved up to third on Ryan Howard's single. The Phils took the lead in the fourth as, with a man on, and two men outs, Rollins hits a two-run home run, knocking in Phils' starter Joe Blanton, who had earlier walked, to give the Phillies a 4-3 lead. The Phils increased their lead to 5-3 in the fifth as, with two men out, John Mayberry, Jr. hits a solo home run, his second home run of the year. Toronto would get a run back in the sixth as Lind lead-off the inning with a solo home run, his fourteenth home run of the season, cutting the Phils' lead down to 5-4. The Blue Jays tied the game up at five-all in the seventh as, with a runner on second, and one man out, Lind hits an RBI single, scoring Scott Rolen, who had earlier doubled. The Blue Jays took the lead in the eighth as, with two men on, and nobody out, Wells hits an RBI single, scoring Scutaro, who had reached base with a single, and had moved up to second on Pedro Feliz's error of an Aaron Hill grounder, giving the Blue Jays a 6-5 lead, while sending Hill on to second. One batter later, the Blue Jays increased their lead to 7-5 as Rolen hits an RBI double, scoring Hill, while sending Wells on to third base. The Phils got one of the runs back in their half of the eighth as pinch hitter Greg Dobbs, with one man out, hits a solo pinch hit home run, his third home run of the year, cutting the Blue Jays' lead to 7-6. Three batters later, with a runner on second, and with two outs, Victorino hits an RBI single, scoring Rollins, who had earlier doubled, tying the game up at seven-all. The Blue Jays would take the lead for good in the ninth, as, with one swing of the bat, Rod Barajas hits a lead-off pinch hit home run, his sixth home run of the season, making it 8-7 Toronto, which ended up being the final score as the Phils could get nothing together in their half of the ninth.
Joe Blanton received a no-decision as he pitched five and a third innings, giving up four runs on nine hits and a walk, while striking out two. Chan Ho Park pitched an inning, recording his second hold, as he gave up just a run on a hit and a walk, while striking out three. J.C. Romero recorded his first blown save of the season, as he gave up no runs on two hits and a walk, while striking out three. Clay Condrey got hurt as he pitched to five batters, getting none of them out, as he gave up two runs on three hits and a walk. Tyler Walker pitched a scoreless inning, giving up only a walk. Ryan Madson took the lost as he gave up a run on one hit and a walk, while striking out a batter. His record is now 2-2 with a 2.36 ERA. Brad Mills also received a no-decision as the rookie only lasted three and two-thirds innings, giving up four runs on six hits and four walks, while striking out two. Shawn Camp pitched a third of an inning, giving up a hit. Dirk Hayhurst pitched an inning, giving up a run on one hit and a walk. Jayson Carlson also pitched an inning, striking out the side. Brandon League pitched an inning and a third, giving up two runs on two hits, as he struck out three. Jason Frasor recorded his second blown save of the season before receiving the win, as he went a third of an inning, giving up a hit. His record is now 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA. B.J. Ryan recorded his second hold of the season as he pitched one-third of an inning, giving up a walk, while striking out a batter. Jeremy Accardo recorded his first save of the year, as he pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up just a hit.
The Phillies had twelve hits in the game, with Jimmy Rollins leading the team with three hits, including a double and a home run, knocking in two runs and scoring two, as he raised his average up to .225. Shane Victorino and John Mayberry, Jr., both followed with two hits apiece. Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth, Pedro Feliz and Greg Dobbs had the other five Phils' hits, with Werth and Dobbs' hits being home runs, along with one of Mayberry's two hits. Besides Rollins' two RBIs, Werth also knocked in two runs, while Mayberry, Dobbs and Victorino each knocked in a run. The Phillies' offense, with Raul Ibanez out for at least fourteen more days, will have to find ways to score runs so that they can give the pitching staff a chance to win some easy games.
The Phillies (36-28, 1st National League East) with conclude their home stand with a three-game weekend series with the lowly Orioles (29-37, 5th American League East) in some more interleague play. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and will begin at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will start Antonio Bastardo (2-1, 5.25), who is coming off a bad start against the Red Sox on June 13, where he only pitched an inning, thanks to the rain delay, giving up five runs, only four of which were earned, on three hits and three walks, while striking out only one, in the Phils' 11-6 lost. He will be trying to rebound from that bad performance before the home crowd. The Orioles will counter with Rich Hill (2-1, 5.81), who is coming off a no-decision against the Braves on June 13, where he only pitched four innings, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks, while striking out one, in the Orioles' 8-4 win. He will be trying for his third win of the season. The Phillies will be trying to take their interleague play and losing at home woes out on the Orioles while trying to see about adding some distance between themselves and the rest of the NL East, especially the hurting Mets.

Good luck against the O's; they tend to give the Red Sox a tough time.
Thanks. I'm just hoping the team will be up for this series. Else its going to be another home series lost to a team not named the Nationals.
The sweep was embarrasing. Hopefully they can win tonight.
I changed Swing and a Long Drives's URL from phanamanda.blogspot.com to swingandalongdrive.com.
If you could please change this on your blog roll, I would appreciate it.
Thank you. Sorry for the inconvience.
PS: You have a great site. I enjoy reading your posts.
Embarrasing? Oh, yes, it was. But now the team is about to become even more embarrassed as they look like they are going to be swept by the LAST PLACE ORIOLES!!!! That just stinks.
Thanks for letting me know that you had changed the url for your site. I'll make the change as soon as I can.
Glad to hear that you like my site. I hope to keep it going the same way I have in the past.
That sweep to the O's… Embarrassing is an understatement.
Hopefully they can get back on track on the road.
And thanks for changing the link. I appreciate it.
I know, and even worst, our ace acted like, well, an ace. Too bad the bats decided to stay at home while he was trying to do his Superman act. Wait, that Myers, and he's on the dl. UGH!!!! I hope so too, but considering the next two teams are American League teams, I am so holding my breath. Well, at least the Mets aren't having a better time of it.
And you're welcome on the link change.

Meet Bryant! Bryant is about 3-5 years old, neutered, and has short hair with Brown Tiger markings. This sweet boy can't wait to find his "furr-ever" home! Not only is he handsome (he thinks that's one of his best qualities) but he is also affectionate and friendly too! He loves to snuggle and this mellow boy hopes to find a home that has lots of big windows where he can nap and watch nature outside. Bryant's personality will make him a great match for any home. With parental guidance he should do well in a home with children of any age. With proper introductions and time to adjust, he should also do well in a home with other pets. He may even enjoy the company of another feline friend to cuddle with and keep him company while his human family members are away! Bryant can't wait to find a family that will appreciate him for exactly what he is a wonderful boy!

I think the future direction should be a bigger spread for the game with a bigger SL and the wealth should be spread around. I think expansion, not ring fencing, should be the policy.
I've done a financial model for an 18 team SL.
In this model I've added York, Doncaster, Fev and Fax.
Each team gets a £930,000 share of the TV money.
That will increase losses amongst the current 14 SL clubs by £270K each and thus SL losses will go out to around -£72M.
I can't project anything BUT losses at York and Donny (Fev already lose money, and Fax break even on a low turnover and £930K won't be enough for them to continue profit in SL)
So I've conservatively estimated losses of £250K a year each on the basis that they will probably drop their player spend (and not compete) so the SL losses will go out to £73M in the first year and rise year on year faster than they are doing now.
What is your profitable model for a larger Superleague please?? Please project your figures and justification?

When viewing groups in the Endpoint Manager-console, typically the "Lost and found" folder you are presented with an error message saying "An error has occurred".
The problem has been identified and a tool to remedy the issue has been made available.
How to use Noc_enable.exe:
a) Download the Noc_enable.exe below and copy it to [...]\Norman\noc\bin
b) Open Command prompt and navigate to [...]\Norman\noc\bin and type "Noc_enable.exe /fixstrings"
c) Wait until the command finishes, this can take some time depending on number of clients.
If you have a lot of printers, switches or other unmanaged devices detected by the Passive Discovery feature and do not have topology filter in place for sorting them into groups,
consider use "Noc_enable.exe /fixstrings /nopurge". The added /nopurge will skip deleting of unmanaged devices but in some instances this is also necessary.
If there is devices with weird names or you still experience the "An error has occurred" you must run the command again but without the /nopurge parameter.

Tractor repair work turns deadly
Two fatalities, one in Washington County and another in Athens County, were reported over the weekend.
A Stanleyville area man died at Marietta Memorial Hospital Sunday afternoon from injuries received after a piece of tractor equipment he was repairing blew apart, according to Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Adam D. Biehl, 31, of 1585 Stanleyville Road, was working on a tractor at a farm on 1385 Fisher Ridge Road in Barlow Township around 3 p.m. when he sustained serious injuries after a tractor part fractured.
Mincks said Biehl and two other individuals had replaced a bad fuel injector pump on the tractor and were revving the engine to test the pump and a cast iron clutch housing that had been installed about a month ago.
While accelerating the engine the clutch housing blew apart, sending large chunks of metal in every direction, the sheriff said, noting one piece of metal shot up through the roof of the garage that housed the tractor, and other large metal pieces were blown 30 to 40 feet away from the machinery.
"Several pieces of the metal also struck the victim, which caused his injuries," Mincks said. "The two other men with him were not injured."
Biehl was rushed to the MMH emergency room by the Barlow Volunteer Rescue Squad, but died at the hospital around 5 p.m. as a result of his wounds.
A second area fatality occurred following a single-vehicle crash early Saturday on Ohio 550, near milepost 5 in Ames Township, Athens County.
Jason W. Sharp, 33, of Glouster died at the scene, according to a report from the Athens Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers said Sharp was driving east in a 2002 Toyota Tundra around 12:38 a.m. when the vehicle ran off the left side of the roadway and overturned. Sharp was ejected from the vehicle.
Police said Sharp was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, and an investigation was continuing Sunday.
Ohio 550 was closed for about three hours following that crash.

Jerry stopped in to visit with Ken, one of his long time friends, and commented on how it seemed that as he was getting older he was having problems remembering things, and especially names. Ken told him that he had had the same experience and he had heard about a course that would help with the memory of names. He said he had been skeptical but he thought that he would give it a try and he was very pleased with the result. When Jerry asked how the course worked, Ken explained that it was done by teaching you to associate names with images. All you had to do was recall the image and you would have the name.
Jerry told Ken that he would enroll in the course and asked him for the name of it so he could look it up. Ken thought for a moment, and a troubled look came over his face, before he asked, "What is that flower that has the beautiful smell but has thorns on the stem?" Jerry suggested, "Do you mean a rose?" Ken said, "that's right," and called to his wife in the next room, "Rose, what was the name of that course I took for memory improvement?"
We all have problems remembering things at times, even in the spiritual area. At points in our past we make promises (commitments) to God and over time it seems we forget those commitments. Often at this time of the year, we remember those commitments, or make such commitments. We need to remember to keep those commitments to God.
Some have a problem remembering the last time they attended a church service. I remember a man I met when we were in the Navy together. He complemented me on my spiritual commitment, and said that he, too, was religious. For some reason, my response was something like, "When was the last time you went to church services?" He quickly responded, "Last Easter," but then he thought a moment and said "No, it was last Christmas." After another moment or two, he changed that to "A year ago, Christmas." He couldn't remember.
Some have a hard time remembering when they last attended a Bible class, or picked up a Bible to read it. Others have a hard time remembering when was the last time they prayed. All this is truly sad, but I have a "course" that will help you with your memory in each of these areas.
If you were to read your Bible every day, you would have no problem remembering when the last time was. If you attended Bible class, every Sunday morning (9:30 a.m.) and Wednesday night (7 p.m.), you would have that answer covered too. If you stopped often, and daily, to pray, that would give your memory a great assistance, if someone was to ask you, "When was the last time you spoke to God in reverent prayer?"
I was just thinking how, like a rose, most of my articles have a lot of flower to them, but you will usually notice there are often a few thorns thrown in as well. It is designed that way. If you got caught on one, or more of the thorns in this one, you don't have to remember Rose's name to get help with your spiritual memory, just ask me. My name is at the top of the article and that is what I like to do.
Do you have all the mentioned thorns covered? All of us have trouble remembering all that is contained in the Bible. The way to deal with that memory problem is to attend Bible class faithfully, and spend much time reading God's word in between.

I'm not a huge fan, but Blake looks absolutely breathtaking in that dress. Wow.ReplyCancel
Wonder if Hemsworth and JLaw have had sex? I still think she's gay and that her and Hoult are bearding for each other.
Wonder if Hemsworth and Hutcherson have had sex?
Wonder if McAvoy and Chastain have had sex. Apparently she's not really into guys unless they can get her into a movie.
Adrianna Lima enjoying some flora.ReplyCancel
You guys are right, Blake is just killing it.
I do not get the wee Hutcherson at all.
Blake and America look gorgeousReplyCancel
I think that Naomi looks better than Blake but yes, she does look good.
Just watched "Like Water for Elephants" this weekend and jeebus was Reese horrid and she had zero chemistry with Pattinson. At least Robert didn't phone in his performance. I'm telling you Reese was the worst!ReplyCancel
Wow. Blake really is gorgeous.
Josh Hutcherson really was miscast in The Hunger Games.
And YUM!! "Somebody" could Channing all over my Tatum!!ReplyCancel
Sherry, I like that movie. Reese was totally miscast, but I didn't think she did that bad. Just really miscast. Rob did a great job I thought. Have you read the book? It's wonderful.ReplyCancel
I liked "Like Water for Elephants," too. Rob was good in it. I agree that Reese wasn't the best choice, but she was good. Maybe she produced it?ReplyCancel

Seeing Naomi Watts reminded me that I had the weirdest dream about her last night. She was showing off some dance move, threw her legs up and totally exposed her vag. Then when my husband and I backed up for another look, it turned out it was just her belly button. The hubby was so bummed.ReplyCancel
Just break me off a piece of James McAvoy and send him on over.
Naomi and Jessica look great.ReplyCancel
Chaz Bono is in the Hunger Games???ReplyCancel
McAvoy,a fellow Glaswegian,makes me proud!!ReplyCancel
Love Blake Lively from The Town & Savages (never saw her on TV). I think she's a helluva lot more interesting than some of these other over hyped young actresses, she just needs to get a few more roles to add to her resume. James McAvoy can do no wrong. Anybody catch him on Graham Norton with Hugh Jackman and Fassbender? You'd never see a lineup that hot on US talk shows. Getting a Sailor Moon vibe off of Jennifer Lawrence and I agree about the Hobbit comment. That dude is SHORT! I think both guys are fairly dull for such an action oriented story. It's like I look at both guys and just don't freakin care about either character all that much. All the other major players in that movie have such presence. It makes Josh & Liam seem invisible.ReplyCancel

I was having a few drinks with David Cairns a week or so ago and we discussed the setting up of a Past & Present Players and Coaches Association.
David, Barrow's last Great Britain international back in 1983, has been keen on this concept for a long while now and so we decided to give it a whirl and see if there is sufficient interest.
"Joining" the association will not cost a penny and "membership" is open to all players and coaches who have been involved with any team connected to Barrow RFC – First Team, A team, Academy, Colts, etc.
The exact structure of things is by no means sorted yet and David's idea is still in the embryonic stage. However, as a minimum, we will organise social events and dinners and circulate contact details for all members so that players who have lost touch can get in contact again. I would also plan to organise a past players/coaches day at Craven Park at one of the matches next season.
To date I have sent details to around 100 ex players and the response has been excellent with around 60 responding with a resounding yes to the idea.
However, I am sure a lot of the email addresses I have are now no longer valid so this is an appeal for ex players to get in touch with me. There are a few ex players who come on here occasionally plus if people on here can also pass the message on to any ex players they know that would be helpful.
Anybody on here who is interested please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com in the first instance.

Good news!
Since I don't much read the Daily News, I found out from my boy Hot Foot that our Tommy's almost a Met for next year!
2 Comments
Hey Zoe…
Looks like Glavine and the Mets are talking a 2-year deal. I'd prefer one year for a 41-year-old, but we need him pretty badly in '07, so I can live with it. Just get us a ring this season!
And Mota… flunking a drug test?!? What a disgrace!
~ Eddie @ Willie Ball
Skeptical too for 2 but hey one year @ a time!
Mets in '07
Hope you are doing good girly!

Best Farmers Markets
Go get your veggie fix at these top five cream-of-the-crop farmers markets.
Every so often, even the most ardent green thumb needs a getaway. But why not plan a trip that entwines a little R&R with your favorite hobby the way a pumpkin vine wraps around a cornstalk?
Your options are as plentiful as a bumper crop of tomatoes. There are now almost 5,000 farmers markets nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, so there's likely to be one not far from where you're heading.
For your convenience, we've scoped out five well-known markets. Just pack your canvas or recyclable shopping bag and get ready to thump cantaloupes and sniff tomatoes. You're sure to feel right at home.
Top 5 Farmers Markets
Portland Farmers Market
Portland, Oregon
Open on Saturdays from late March through mid-December, this venerable feast for the senses, located on the Portland State University campus, appears on many lists of top farmers markets. Maybe that's because it offers great regional produce, live music, cooking demonstrations by top chefs and even a parcel pickup service for overeager shoppers. Four other affiliated markets run on weekdays in other neighborhoods. Go ahead and shop till you drop.
Santa Monica Saturday Organic Farmers Market
Santa Monica, California
From master gardeners and dietitians to top chefs and free recipe samples, this Los Angeles-area standby is clearly more than just a produce paradise. Along with the entertainment, you'll find a year-round cornucopia of fresh fruits and veggies. Bonus points: Was that Brad Pitt standing behind the avocados?
Union Square Greenmarket
New York, New York
When in the Big Apple, do as the locals do: Go gourmet and shop at this urban oasis, where city slickers learn what produce really tastes like. Manhattan's rock-star chefs come here to sniff, squeeze and scrutinize a plethora of produce from upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and beyond. The plentiful pluses include cheese, honey, jam and grass-fed beef. Dozens of other markets operate in New York City under the Greenmarket umbrella, but this is the group's flagship location. Take a bite and savor the flavor.
Dane County Farmers' Market
Madison, Wisconsin
About 150 regional vendors line the square around the state Capitol to sell mind-boggling mountains of fresh produce and, of course, cheese and other dairy products. Held rain or shine on Saturdays nearly year-round, the market also features live music and arts-and-crafts booths. A stop here is a capital idea, for sure.
Crescent City Farmers Market
New Orleans, Louisiana
Along with fresh produce, this colorful year-round market in the historic Warehouse District also offers baked goods and fresh seafood. Toss in live jazz and cooking demonstrations, and you've got a stew as sassy as a bowl of spicy, steamin' Cajun jambalaya. And leave it to the Big Easy to make shopping, well, easy. Vendors don't take plastic, but shoppers can convert credit- and debit-card allocations into Crescent coins, a sort of local currency accepted by all vendors. Laissez les bon temps roulez!
