Supreme Court declines to hear whistleblower case
The Ohio Supreme Court declined to hear arguments in a case that could give Ohio workers who blow the whistle on misconduct more protection.
The case between former employee Joseph Sommer and the Bureau of Workers Compensation coming out of the Franklin County Court of Appeals limits a whistleblowers protection, which will deter state employees coming forward, according to an appeal filed by Sommer in February.
Sommer was a former attorney in the Bureau of Workers Compensation legal department and received a letter of reprimand after bringing forward knowledge of a failure to follow state law in the nomination of candidates to serve on the Industrial Commission to the inspector general in 2009. He argued the letter violated whistleblower protections and appealed to the State Personnel Board of Review and then Franklin County Common Pleas Court, losing in both.
The appellate court ruled in December that state workers have no protection when reporting noncriminal matters.
"I feel that the appeals court made some serious and blatant mistakes in its opinion," Sommer said in an email yesterday. "I was hoping the Ohio Supreme Court would have more interest in those subjects than the appeals court seemed to have."
Two different bills have been introduced in the Ohio House aimed at strengthening whistleblower protections. One sponsored by Connie Pillich, D-Montgomery, and Nick Barborak, D-Lisbon, and another sponsored by Bill Hayes, R-Harrison Twp., and by Mike Dovilla, R-Berea.
"I hope the Court's failure to take up this subject will motivate additional members of the General Assembly to support strengthening Ohio's whistleblower protections," Sommer said.Posted by Michelle Everhart on May 30, 2014 12:31 PM

Portman off to Ukraine, Poland
Sen. Rob Portman leaves for Ukraine Friday where he plans to visit polling places in the Kiev area Sunday during Ukraine's presidential election. In a conference call today with Ohio reporters, Portman, R-Ohio, said he will meet with Ukraine Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a pro-Western politician who assumed the post earlier this year after the fall of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Portman said when he was U.S. trade representative under President George W. Bush he met Yatsenyuk, who was then minister of economy for Ukraine. Portman said he would be in Ukraine to "show our support from the United States of America for self-determination for the Ukrainian people."
Following the elections, he travels to Poland where he plans to meet U.S. soldiers in the NATO country.Posted by Jack Torry on May 22, 2014 11:48 AM

Brown backs bill to push FDA on sunscreen
Calling a delay in approval of a sunscreen product by the U.S Food and Drug Administration "unconscionable," Sen. Sherrod Brown yesterday urged passage of a bill requring the agency to review its entire list of pending sunscreen applications within eight months of the bill being signed into law.
In a conference call with Ohio reporters, Brown, D-Ohio, said the FDA has delayed approval of production by an Ohio company of a key ingredient used in sunscreen. That company, Ashland Inc., has a factory in Columbus and it expanded the facility hoping the FDA would approve its application. Ashland is allowed to sell the ingredient for sunscreen in Canada and the European Union.
An FDA spokeswoman said that "consumers have access to a number of sunscreen products that contain active ingredients already included in the monograph for use in sunscreens in the United States. The FDA remains committed to allowing sunscreens containing additional ingredients to be made available to consumers if there is enough data to show that they are generally recognized as safe and effective for use in over-the-counter sunscreens."
"The FDA recognizes the public health importance of sunscreen use, and has prioritized reviewing the safety and effectiveness of additional sunscreen ingredients as quickly as possible given the Agency's resources."Posted by Jack Torry on May 22, 2014 10:34 AM

Summer's almost over, school's about to begin, and the government still hasn't updated the list of jobs identified as too risky for teenagers.
Annually, about 200,000 teenagers under 18 are injured at work and about 70 die. But the government has been slow to update its decades-old list of jobs deemed too perilous for teens.
A National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health report advises, for instance, that teens not do construction or roof work. But a 1998 study of more than 500 teen employees in North Carolina revealed that about a third use forklifts, tractors, or riding mowers. Also, most working teens under 15 die on farms, and more than half of them work in family-owned businesses.
So who's to blame? Parents must ask questions, visit their teens at work, and inquire about training and supervision. But at the very least, employers are expected to train teen workers and a supervisor should be on site all the time. Yet that isn't always the case when four-fifths of teenagers' injuries occur when no supervisor is around and other injuries are due to improper training.
Existing laws must be enforced. Massachusetts forbids anyone under 18 from operating motorized vehicles, including golf carts. Still, a 16-year-old boy with little training in operating a golf cart died trying to operate one.
Also, a fifth of the teenagers who died while working between 1998 and 2000 were Hispanics, who tend to be exposed to jobs with greater risks. That's a disgrace. Meanwhile, the feds are considering regulatory and statutory changes in light of the safety and health report. For teens' safety, let's hope they move before next summer.

I work at a septic tank cleaning company in Hollywood, FL. I usually use my iPhone 4s to take pictures of the work being completed and the inside of the septic tank. Yea I know risky business, but I do have the lifeproof case and this thing has held up for over a year. Well I was doing a pumpout at a house went to take a picture of the inside of the tank and the hose jumped and knocked the phone into the bottom.
Me looking for the phone.
This system is designed to handle all of the ordinary waste production in a household. The size of the system should be large enough accommodate the needs of the dwelling. A system should be large enough to allow adequate detention time (time it takes to breakdown waste)with as much separation as possible . It should also allow for as little scum and sludge carry-over as possible. all of this will prolong the life of the leeching system.
This system is reliable and sanitary. But like any other system, it does require regular upkeep. The settlements left from the breakdown process will accumulate. The accumulation leads to a build up of sludge that needs to be pumped. A thorough cleaning when needed will prevent problems in the system. Enlisting the help of a professional service to perform this service is vitally important. Companies that are trained in this area will not only be able to clean the system but can guide you in the appropriate measures needed to keep the system working at its best.
The failure to get the system pumped and cleaned can later lead to problems. It can cause the pipes to backup into the house. It can cause the leeching field to be clogged making it necessary to replace or enlarge it. Any of these problems will not only make a huge mess, but will cost you money. That's why having your system cleaned periodically is so important. It saves hassle and money in the long run.
To prevent later problems, it is advisable to seek the input of septic tank professionals that can diagnose potential hazards and perform necessary upkeep. If you don't know when your system was last pumped, it may be a good idea to have it checked as soon as possible. If you wait until a problem arises, it may very well cost you more than what you'd pay for preventative measures.

The increase in childhood obesity has contributed to a rise in type two diabetes among kids. For the first time, the American Academy of Pediatrics has developed a set of guidelines to treat the disease in this young population.
Experts say children who have such low blood sugar that it can't be determined whether they have type one or type two diabetes should be put on insulin therapy.
Everyone else should be treated with the popular diabetes drug metformin, and speak with experts about changes they can make to their diet and exercise routine.

The 120th International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 19-23, 2013. The IACP is the world's oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives, with more than 20,000 members in more than 100 countries. IACP's leadership consists of the operating chief executives of international, federal, state and local agencies of all sizes.
Since its formation in 1893, IACP has met annually to share insight, learn about promising practices and discuss up-and-coming technology. With renowned keynote speakers and the largest exhibit hall of products and services in the law enforcement community, leaders from around the globe come together at the IACP Annual Conference to foster a continuing exchange of information and experience.
At the IACP Conference you can stay informed on critical issues and new strategies that allow you to stay on top of your profession. IACP 2013 can provide the best educational resources in the world at your disposal, all in one single location.
The IACP Conference and Expo provides useful and relevant education and training sessions focusing on a wide range of important issues, new tactics, and up-and-coming technology. There will be more than 200 program sessions presented by law enforcement experts and leading police executives, all designed to increase your job performance and your agency's effectiveness.
The exhibit hall will offer live demonstrations of the latest technology and test the newest products available at the largest exposition ever for law enforcement.
More than 750 companies will showcase products and services across six category-specific pavilions including communication/IT, vehicle accessories, weapons and tactical/protective equipment, administration and training, forensic/investigation, and personal equipment that could significantly impact the industry and allow your agency to operate more efficiently and effectively for years to come.
The Philadelphia Police Department
The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) is the nation's fourth largest police department, with more than 6,600 sworn members and 800 civilian personnel. The PPD is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for serving Philadelphia County, extending over 140 square miles with approximately 1.5 million residents. Geographically, the department is divided into 22 police districts each headed by a captain, which comprise six police divisions each headed by a Divisional Inspector.
The police districts are divided into two major sections of the city, Regional Operations Command North (ROC North) and Regional Operations Command South (ROC South), each headed by one Chief Inspector under Patrol Operations. Personnel are assigned to work in 55 different locations throughout Philadelphia, with police headquarters located in the 6th Police District, in Center City, at 750 Race Street.
Philly's Sights & Sounds
Big cities typically come with big buildings, and Philly doesn't disappoint. While most of Philadelphia's high-rise buildings are in Center City, the 437-foot Cira Centre sits just west of downtown, across the Schuylkill River. The city once abided by the unwritten "Gentleman's Agreement," meaning no building soared taller than William Penn's hat atop City Hall. Today, skyscrapers like this one contribute to Philadelphia's distinctive skyline.
A great place to view that skyline is Philly's South Street Bridge. Built in 1876, it stretches over the Schuylkill River and connects West Philadelphia to Center City. In 2010, a new bridge opened with wide pedestrian sidewalks, bike lanes, and an impressive lighting scheme that appropriately complements the Philadelphia skyline.
Located in West Philadelphia's Powelton Village neighborhood, Drexel Park boasts arguably the best skyline view of Center City Philadelphia. Residents and students flock to the 2.5-acre oasis for its walking paths, benches and open green space, where picnics, Frisbee games, reading and sunbathing are the main activities. Penn Park, which sits along the banks of the Schuylkill River, provides fields and tracks for sporting enthusiasts, as well as a perfect location for a picnic with a skyline view.
On hot summer days, Philadelphia's Swann Memorial Fountain, also known as "The Fountain of Three Rivers," serves as a favorite oasis for city residents and visitors alike. The fountain's three main figures, sculpted by Alexander Stirling Calder, represent the city's major waterways: the Delaware, Schuylkill and Wissahickon Rivers.
A diagonal interruption through Philadelphia's horizontal/vertical grid layout, East Passyunk Avenue runs through the heart of South Philadelphia. The area along and around the thoroughfare boasts a wealth of independent boutiques, coffee shops and cafes, plus some of the city's most authentic red-gravy restaurants. Situated about midway along the street's length is Passyunk Square, where the "Singing Fountain," benches, a chess table and the surrounding Italian eateries create a European vibe.
If drinking is more your game, Philly can accommodate you. Along Baltimore Avenue you'll find one of West Philadelphia's main thoroughfares, indie shops, ethnic restaurants and cool bars contribute to the neighborhood's distinctive personality. Housed in an old firehouse, Dock Street Brewing Company draws crowds with its traditional and experimental brews and locally sourced food.
If coffee is more your cup of tea, Shot Tower offers serious coffee and tea lovers a comprehensive menu of brewed beverages. Appropriately named for the Italian phrase meaning "beautiful site," the Bella Vista neighborhood of South Philadelphia is known for its quaint row homes and charming cafes and coffee shops, including Shot Tower. In between attending the numerous seminars, workshops and special events hosted by IACP 2013, take some time to enjoy everything Philly has to offer—from the cheesesteaks to the great views.
Philly Cheesesteaks
In Philadelphia, cheesesteaks are a civic icon, a tourist draw and a cultural obsession. Often imitated around the world, the cheesesteak is rarely duplicated successfully outside of Philadelphia. So what is an authentic cheesesteak and where did it come from? Here's the lowdown on this region's favorite sandwich.
A cheesesteak is a long, crusty roll filled with thinly sliced sautéed ribeye beef and melted cheese. Generally, the cheese of choice is Cheez Whiz, but American and provolone are common substitutions. The art of cheesesteak preparation lies in the balance of flavors, textures and what is often referred to as the "drip" factor. Other toppings may include fried onions, sautéed mushrooms, ketchup and hot or sweet peppers.
Some sandwich shops also offer a cheesesteak hoagie, a hybrid version that combines the cheesesteak with cold hoagie dressings like lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Cheesesteaks are fast, portable and readily available at steak shops, delis, food trucks, pizzerias and even some high-end restaurants throughout the region.
Pat Olivieri's Invention
Everyone agrees that the cheesesteak, the celebrated Philadelphia sandwich invented by Pat Olivieri in 1930, should be made with chopped beef and melted cheese. The degree to which said beef is chopped and the type of cheese to be melted, however, is where there remains plenty of debate among cheesesteak aficionados.
The cheesesteak made its official debut in 1930. Pat Olivieri was a South Philadelphia hot dog vendor who one day decided to put some beef from the butcher on his grill. A taxicab driver noticed the alluring aroma and asked for his own steak sandwich. The next day, as the story goes, rumor of the delicious lunch had spread, and cabbies around the city came to Olivieri demanding steak sandwiches. Soon after, Olivieri opened up a shop on 9th Street and Passyunk Ave., Pat's King of Steaks, to sell his new creation.
Eventually, according to legend, he added cheese to the recipe. Today, Pat's grills are sizzling 24 hours a day, as are Geno's, the rival shop across the street. For 40 years, the two shops have waged a friendly competition to win the title of best cheesesteak in town, with Geno's founder, Joe Vento, claiming it was he, not Olivieri, who first added cheese to the cheesesteak.
How to Order a Philly Cheesesteak
When ordering a cheesesteak, the idea is to let the cashier know: a) that you would like a cheesesteak, b) what type of cheese you want, and c) whether or not you want fried onions. And you have to be as concise as possible while doing so. Locals have become so adept at this practice that they basically have it down to three words.
Saying "one wiz with" to the person behind the counter means that you would like one cheesesteak [denoted by the "one"] with Cheez Wiz as your choice of cheese [denoted by the "wiz"] and with fried onions [denoted by the "with"]. Similarly, saying "one provolone without" would secure you a single cheesesteak made with provolone cheese and without fried onions.
Where to Go
Those who prefer thinly sliced and finely chopped beef on a light roll often cite Roxborough's Dalessandro's as cheesesteak perfection. Others who prefer more coarsely chopped beef topped with gooey Cheez Wiz swear by Pat's on Passyunk Avenue. And still others refuse to even consider that a finer sandwich could exist than the thick, extra-cheesy steak sandwich from John's Roast Pork in South Philadelphia. Wherever you decide to go while you're in town, you'll definitely be experiencing an authentic Philly Cheesesteak.

Peacock's Regan Silversides, left, Emmett Harrison and Graeme Harrison compete in the South Central district cross country meet. Matthew Gourlie photograph.
The day after a football game it isn't always easy to get out of bed, never mind go for a long run.
A trio of starters for the Peacock Tornadoes football team are logging a lot of kilometres in addition to the pounding physical toll they get during the football season.
Regan Silversides, Emmett Harrison and Graeme Harrison finished one-two-three in the senior boys 6 km race at the South Central district cross country meet at Wakamow Wednesday.
"The Harrisons are awesome. We always push each other," said Silversides who admitted pulling double duty is a grind, but it's worth it.
"It's a double workout most days. It's exhausting, but you just keep going," said Silversides. "It's been four years like this, so I'm starting to get used to it."
Silversides won the race in a quick 19 minutes and 55 seconds. Emmett Harrison was second in 21:31 and Graeme Harrison was third in 21:42.
Graeme Harrison's time was especially impressive when you consider he ran the course with a sprained ankle.
Peacock's Tye Buettner won the senior girls race, covering the 5 km in 15:57. Jillian Egroff finished second and Taylor Stevenson was third ensuring a Peacock podium sweep at the senior level.
The top 10 in each of the high school age groups earned the right to compete at the SHSAA provincials in Regina on Saturday, Oct. 16.
The races had 86 total runners which is the best total since the amalgamation of the districts.
Top three finishers in each category:
Bantam Girls — 1. Libby Epoch (King George), 2. Cierra Strutynski (Coronach), 3. Jennifer Packet (Lafleche).

2003, 1996, 1984 and possibly 2008. These are considered among the greatest drafts in NBA history, producing stars of both the past and the present.
The Question is often asked, "Who is the next (insert great player)?"
I think these drafts give us a clue.
The idea that history resets about every 12 years. If only in the NBA.
To prove this point, I will create the "Next Lists." These will be lists of great players and their "Heirs," for lack of a better word.
Even Including a player taken in the initial draft of 1947.
Note; Every rule is defined by its exceptions. this one has an allowance of one year either way, based on circumstance.
Three picks must occur within a 25 year period, but no less than 23. there may be certain height discrepancies, with 'Big' players allowed slightly more leniency.

Days after his trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce, rapper Jay-Z released a song he wrote, Open Letter, about the controversy surrounding the excursion.
On the track, produced by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, Jay-Z takes aim at politicians who condemned the trip and extends an offer to President Barack Obama.
Among the lyrics: "Politicians never did s--- for me / Except lie to me, distort history . . . / Obama said, 'Chill; you gonna get me impeached' / You don't need this s--- anyway / Chill with me on the beach."
The couple spurred a buzz after touring Havana on their anniversary; U.S. Treasury officials said the trip was licensed as an educational exchange.
Yesterday, Swizz Beatz called a New York radio station to talk about the song. It emerged, he said, from a Wednesday discussion with Jay-Z: "I had the portable drum machine with me; then we went down to the 40/40 (Club) to watch the game. Then, . . . (Timbaland) came by and was like 'That beat is crazy.' Next morning, Jay called me with verses."

Petersheim: 'Bravo for Ned Lang'
It's easy to forget that Ned Lang's successful entry into politics began because the current town board singled him out for a zoning infraction, attempted to fine him $90,000 for a sign, and tried to charge him with felonies for infractions far less than other examples all over town. He fought back, the town residents respected it and have now elected him twice to the town board. Bravo, Ned Lang—that's exactly what America is about.
Mr. Lang also fought tooth and nail for more financial transparency from a non-elected group spending town money and brought to light the fact that the supervisor sold a truck to the town. Just because Mr. Lang has been forced to be loud and vocal to counter the entrenched self-dealing of some board members, doesn't mean he's wrong. The fact that he has to be so loud actually proves how entrenched the self-dealing is.
As a businessman who has contributed over $15 million in economic development to the Town of Tusten over the last 12 years, I can say without hesitation that his voice is direly needed and is an excellent counter-weight to this board. I've never seen a town board use their zoning and codes to punish a political foe like has happened in Tusten, and I applaud the courage of Ned Lang. He's fighting for the little guy and doing a great job.

Dining for Democrats
Political volunteers survive on the great restaurants of South Lake Avenue
By Erica Wayne 09/27/2012
With less than six weeks to go before Election Day, both Democrats and Republicans are tense. They're biting their fingernails as they count off the days, chewing on the latest tracking polls and digesting all the most recent statements from their candidates and surrogates (not to mention the mountains of chips, cookies, lukewarm pizza, soft drinks and doughnuts) trucked in by the headquarters staff to stoke the volunteers manning (and womanning) the phone banks, minding the store, organizing the door knockers and poll watchers and inputting data to make sure not a single eligible voter is left uncontacted.
Luckily for the Dems this year, their Pasadena headquarters is located in a prime spot on South Lake Avenue (519 S. Lave Ave., to be exact). This means not only plenty of free parking for both patrons and recruits behind the store, but a chance to temporarily escape the ingestion of fingernails, polls, partisan blurbs and room-temperature fast food for some way more interesting meals within easy walking distance and, even better, some necessary R&R away from the boiler-room stress.
The simplest comfort food is right around the corner at Pie 'n Burger on California Boulevard, open from early morning till 9 or 10 at night. As the name suggests, this '60s spot made its fame from pies and burgers. But if you're on the morning shift at headquarters, Pie 'n Burger's breakfast hotcakes and sausage or homemade pecan sweet rolls might fortify you before work.
Afternoon shift? Take a break and check out what's available of the approximately 20 homemade pies on their roster. My faves are definitely peanut butter meringue and pecan. Of course, fresh peach and ollallieberry (à la mode, of course) take precedent if they're available. And rhubarb, well that's just a perfect pie for the animosities of this election period as well as being a delicious option.
Just a few steps south of the headquarters on South Lake, and with even longer evening hours, is Burger Continental, where I've often felt overwhelmed by the seemingly all-encompassing menu. From 7 to 11 a.m., Dems in need of sustenance can overindulge at a buffet including not only the usual breakfast offerings such as omelets, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, potatoes, fruit etc., but also baklava and, occasionally, kebabs. As soon as the morning items are cleared away, a meat and salad-focused lunch buffet takes its place!
One of the plusses of these buffets is not having to make choices among the dozens and dozens of individual platters on the menu. But, still, the siren song of the many kebabs, combos, pizzas, pita sandwiches, chicken specialties and salads cannot often be ignored. I'm addicted to the Mediterranean platter with hummus, taboule, eggplant, falafel, stuffed grape leaves and cheese boreg.
Another plus is BC's beer and wine license, especially if the latest polls show a shrinking lead. If the Dems are feeling celebratory, there's live entertainment including a jazz band on Wednesdays (think Nov. 7 if there's a win) and belly dancers Thursday through Sunday (think Nov. 8-11 if it's a landslide).
Dems I know are less likely to be red meat eaters than their Republican brethren, if I may use the word in these polarized times. So some may want to head directly across Lake Avenue to Noda Sushi for tempura, teriyaki and, of course, a wide selection of fish on rice. There is no entertainment here, other than watching the sushi chef work his magic as you sip your sake, but the sushi and specialty rolls are delicious. Seafood is definitely good for the brain and heart, two organs that need to be kept in tip-top order for the work at hand.
And, finally, if the pressure's getting so intense that a stiff drink is in order, volunteers and staff can head a short block north to Neapolis. When it first opened earlier in the year, the Italian restaurant was only open evenings, but starting last month it began offering lunch, with additional main course salads and sandwiches added to many of the dinner specials (including pizza, pasta, main courses, side dishes and sweets).
If a chicken salad with dried apricots, arugula, candied hazelnuts, goat cheese and apricot dressing, or a house-poached tuna, fennel caper, tomato, potato and radicchio sandwich on artisinal bread, or a spinach pizza with scallions, feta, gruyere, Parmigianino and lemon zest, or a warm chocolate pudding cake with summer cherry curd, crema fresca gelato and fresh cherries can't lift your spirits, Neapolis' own high-octane spirits can probably do the trick.
In addition to a truly interesting wine and beer list, the cocktail selection is absolutely riveting. Perhaps a Moscow Mule to help with the slogging or a doctor for a quick pick-me-up? A millionaire? Nope, that's definitely for the Republican 1 percent!
In addition to these four unique gems, Democratic staff and volunteers have plenty of chains to visit: Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins, Winchell's Donuts, Peet's Coffee and Einstein's Bagels to the south, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Cold Stone Creamery and Beard Papa's Cream Puffs to the north. If those aren't enough to encourage folks to volunteer and keep spirits (and weight) up through Nov. 6, I don't know what can — except, of course, increasing indications that Obama's re-election may be more of a probability than they assumed when the campaign began.

Sima Qian - Historian and Litterateur of the Western Han Dynasty
Zhang Sanfeng
Yuan Liaofan ( or Liao-Fan Yuan) - A Famous Scholar and Thinker in the Ming...
Zhang Yi - An Important Strategist during the Warring States Period
Sima Qian (145 BC-87BC) is a historian and litterateur of the Western Han Dynasty. Born in a historiographer family, Sima Qian had once left home for a long journey in his 20s, with the purpose of knowing about local customs and historical records. As a government official, he had accompanied Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to go on tours for many times, and served as an envoy abroad upon the command of the emperor. Such experiences had laid a solid foundation for writing Historical Records later.
Later on, Sima Qian suffered from castration (a cruel punishment in ancient China) because of his bold remarks against the emperor. Since then, he devoted himself to writing. His masterpiece Historical Records, a precious cultural heritage, enjoys high reputation at home and abroad. Sima Qian also wrote A letter to Ren An, which depicts his imprisonment and torture as well as his ambition to writing. This book has also been passed down from generation to generation.

Last night, Warner Bros released the first trailer for next summer's comic book adaptation The Green Lantern. So far, the fan reaction to the footage has been decent but nothing to write home about. Do you have any idea how particular Green Lantern fans are? Just in case you missed a few important moments in the trailer, we've put together some screencaps that feature all the faces and actions you might have overlooked. Check them out…
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.
The one thing about the trailer that we undoubtedly like are the alien Lanterns. We love the way Kilowog, Abin Sur, Tomar-Re, and especially Sinestro look in their costumes. Because their mostly CGI characters, they seem to look better in their suits than Hal Jordan does. In some of the scenes it looks a little fake. As for Hector Hammond, the jury is still out on that. He sort of looks like a villan from an eighties movie here. We're not digging his make up.
The Green Lantern hits theaters on June 17, 2011.
What do you think of the screencaps from the Green Lantern trailer? Did you pick up on anything we missed?

Retail Sales Surge in May, Electronics Drop
Retail sales posted a huge gain in May, rising 0.6 percent over the previous month and 4.8 percent over the same time last year.
The electronics and appliance category, however, dropped 0.4 percent.
"The economy is improving, albeit slowly, but we still have a long way to go," NRF chief economist Jack Kleinhenz said as part of the announcement.
"Stagnant salaries continue to constrain further economic acceleration. While sequester and tax increases dampened sales growth in the first quarter, it appears that the economy absorbed most of the blow."

RCRA Environmental Indicators
Environmental Indicators
While the ultimate goal of the RCRA Corrective Action Program is to achieve final cleanups, we are measuring the intermediate success of the program against our GPRA goals. The program is monitoring intermediate progress by tracking two Environmental Indicators (EIs), the human exposure and groundwater EIs, which are the main focus of the corrective action GPRA goals. These indicators measure progress in environmental terms rather than administrative process steps. Measuring and recording our progress toward these goals will be a top priority for EPA and the states over the next several years. More detailed information is available via EPA's national RCRA Corrective Action Environmental Indicators page.

Tusten zoning plan to expand business district
NARROWSBURG, NY — The final draft of the proposed changes to the Tusten zoning code call for an expansion of the Downtown Business District in Narrowsburg. Specifically, the district would expand to include all of Erie Avenue on both sides of the street. Currently the district includes only the lot on which The River Reporter is located, the lot of the Yard Sale building and a small stretch of the street across the street from the Narrowsburg School.
The new zoning would make it possible for developer Ilwon Kang to proceed with his plan to open an 80-bed hotel on the school property, although it is unclear if Kang will still move forward with that project. At a town board meeting on September 12, supervisor Peg Harrison noted that the proposed zoning change was significant and asked if there was any comment from the council members or residents. No one offered any comment.
Public hearings on the zoning changes, which include significant restrictions on high-impact industrial uses such as gas drilling, are scheduled for September 26 and October 10.
Wayne deputies honored for rescuing snake bite victim
MILFORD, Pa. — Pike County sheriff deputies Wesley Vigh and Danila Parks received awards at the Pike County Commissioners meeting on September 7 for saving the life of a man who had been bitten by a rattlesnake and might otherwise have died.
Dan Marchione, a reptile enthusiast from Wayne County, was hiking in a remote area between Promised Land and Skytop Mountain looking for snakes to photograph. He found one and it bit him in the hand. At first he was so excited by the find that he kept taking pictures, but soon he was experiencing blurred vision, pain and shaking and he couldn't get himself to the main road two miles away.
Before he lost his ability to move he had called his fiancé to let her know what had happened. She ran into the deputies who followed her to the pre-arranged pick-up point with their emergency lights on, and the officers found him two hours later.
Marchione was taken by hospital to Scranton Community Medical Center with his hand swollen and purple, not sure if he would survive the incident. He spent four days in the hospital but ultimately recovered.
FEMA and state disaster aid available to renters
ALBANY, NY — New York State renters who lost their home or personal property as a result of Hurricane Irene's flooding may be eligible for assistance from the New York State Office of Emergency Management (NYSOEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"Disaster aid is not limited to homeowners," said state coordinating officer Andrew Feeney. "Eligible residents who sustained damages in this disaster can receive assistance thanks to state and federal rental support programs designed to help them get back on their feet."
FEMA offers funds to rent alternative housing for a limited period of time while repairs are made to their dwelling. Renters may also be eligible for a program designed to help survivors with uninsured, but necessary, expenses and serious needs caused by the disaster, such as medical and funeral expenses.
Residents can apply for assistance at www.disaster [1]
assistance.gov or by calling 800/621- 3362.
State and federal officials also urge those affected by the floods and storms to have their furnaces checked for damage to make sure they are ready for winter.
PA included in disaster declaration
WASHINGTON, DC — The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced on September 13 that federal aid has been made available to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and ordered federal aid to supplement commonwealth and local recovery efforts in the area affected by Tropical Storm Lee beginning on September 3, 2011.
Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured or underinsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
The action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in the counties of Adams, Bradford, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Luzerne, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Schuylkill, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Union, Wyoming and York.
It is not yet known if residents in Wayne County will also become eligible for FEMA funds.

A Lebanon man has been indicted for human trafficking in Washington County.
Gery E. Childers, 26, was indicted by a Washington County grand jury last week on three charges: human trafficking (victim under 18), a class B felony, unlawful transaction with a minor 1st degree, a class C felony, and being a persistent felony offender, 2nd degree. Bond was set at $10,000 full cash. He is to have no contact with complaining witness.
You may have to produce more than your Kentucky driver's license or ID card to enter some federal facilities in the near future, and if something isn't done by Jan. 22, 2018, you won't be able to board a plane without an acceptable form of ID, either.
Washington County Circuit Clerk JoAnne Mudd-Miller said the federal government has denied an extension for the commonwealth to come into compliance with REAL ID, a federal regulation on ID cards.
The remains of a woman who was murdered in Washington County have been found.
According to Bath County Coroner Robert Powell, Crystal Warner has been positively identified after her remains were found in Bath County earlier this week. She was murdered with her boyfriend, Robert Jones, in July.
Kentucky State Police said the remains were found under a brush pile and sent to KSP's central laboratory in Frankfort for identification.
The Washington County Commanders tipped off the regular season Monday night with a home game against Richmond Model.
"You've got to be happy getting a "W" first game of the year," Head Coach Bernard Smalley said.
Smalley's team jumped out to an early lead over the Patriots and were on top 16-15 after the first quarter.
The Commanders built on their lead and were up 36-33 at halftime.
When the dust settled, Washington County came away with a 79-70 victory.
Students at St. Dominic School got a lesson that can't be taught in textbooks when Fred Gross, a Holocaust survivor, told them the harrowing tale that took him to hell and back as a toddler.
The Washington County Commanderettes (16-13, 4-3) traveled to Central Hardin High School last week to take on the Bruins, but they came up short against one of the perennial contenders in the 5th Region, losing in three straight sets (25-13, 25-14, 25-13).
Growing up about 20 miles outside of Pittsburgh, Frank Mazur knew he wanted to be a novelist.
In fact, the blurb under his high school yearbook photo said: "Aspires to be a teacher and a novelist."
"I'd always been into writing, and I read a lot of novels, even in high school," Mazur said. "That was something that always just kind of stuck with me."
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7, and The Springfield Sun will be providing voters a closer look each week until the election at all of the contested races that will appear on this year's ballot in Washington County. This series, which will be presented in a question-and-answer format, begins this week in the race for the 55th District state representative seat between incumbent Kim King and challenger Tobie Brown.
It's been more than three months since Crystal Warner and Robert Jones were murdered in Washington County, and while a suspect is in custody and Jones' body has been recovered, Warner's remains have yet to be found.
According to Warner's mother, Mary Reeve, things have slowed down but the search continues.
The wheels have begun to turn with regards to moving the county's recycling center.
A committee was formed Monday morning during Washington County Fiscal Court's regularly scheduled meeting to recommend a location that would be convenient for the county and cost effective for the court. The committee consists of magistrates Billy Riney and Hal Goode, along with former county attorney Hamilton Simms.

Nvidia does better than expected
Chip demand rising as AMD snoozes
Nvidia forecast better-than-expected revenue for the current quarter demand for its chips has risen, while its rival, AMD has a knap while waiting for its Zen technology to arrive.
Scores 134,000 in AnTuTu benchmark, over 3x higher than Tegra K1
On Wednesday, a new Nvidia filing with the FCC surfaced online that shows a new 8-inch device closely resembling the current Shield and Shield K1 tablets based on Kepler GK20A GPUs. The tablet was filed as an application for "SHIELD Tablet" and is expected to feature Nvidia's newer Maxwell-based GM20B GPU and is based on the Tegra X1 chip, complete with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

AMD allegedly pulls Vega launch forward
From early 2017 to October 2016
It appears that Nvidia has struck a right chord with its Pascal-based GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards as it has allegedly forced AMD to pull the launch of its high-end Vega GPU forward, from early 2017 to October 2016.

Rooney Mara in Una
While standing in line for Una, the film adaptation of David Harrower's play Blackbird, earlier this week, one of the PR reps for the film told me she had already noticed an audience divide forming around it—men almost uniformly hated it, but women were moved by it.

Rooney Mara is a Well-Dressed Oscars Suck
I love, love, love the word 'suck'. Not like 'that sucks', although I do frequently employ that terminology— but like, 'you're being a suck'. Remember when we were kids and someone was always being a sucky baby? Now when we talk about it, we use kids' language and say someone is 'taking their toys and going home', but at least there's a bit of flounce and drama to doing that. Full Story
Rooney Mara is wishy-washy on whitewashing
Jenny Anderson/ Paul Morigi/ Ben Gabbe/ Getty Images
It is not my preference to go after actors in the ongoing #OscarsSoWhite and the Hollywood diversity crisis. (Want to be depressed? Read this super sad and regressive study of diversity within industry ranks from the studio C-suites on down.) But actors are usually the most visible people connecting a film to the general public, so they inevitably get asked about this, especially if they themselves are caught up in a whitewashing casting controversy.

Cannon USA (Cranberry Township, N.J., USA) reports that it has developed a work cell for the manufacture of carbon fiber/epoxy automotive parts at relatively high production volumes.
Craig Woolheater, product manager at Cannon, says the cell is being used in Europe to manufacture the passenger cage of a 2013 passenger vehicle. The cell focuses on the robotic dispensation of the epoxy resin onto a dry carbon fiber fabric. The fabric and resin are then cured in a heated 1000-metric-tonne press.
Woolheater says the system offers a 5-minute part-to-part cycle time, with minimal labor interaction and high levels of automation. The drawing at left shows how the cell is organized.

The latest BBRC WIP file indicates that the Slender-billed Curlew at Druridge Bay in 1998 is now no longer deemed acceptable - http://www.bbrc.org.uk/main-informat...rk-in-progress. A really tough decision considering all of the discussion about the bird, but it also needs to be ratified by the BOURC.
No doubt there will be even more....

Fresh, local and sustainable are words to live by for Burgerville, the Vancouver, Wash.-based burger concept. And the Chocolate Hazelnut Shake is no exception to Burgerville's philosophy. Aseasonal winter item that is available until March 27, the Chocolate Hazelnut Shake is made with hazelnuts grown by members of the Hazelnut Growers of Oregon, a member-owned cooperative. Customers also can order a "smoothie" version of the shake that's made with nonfat frozen yogurt rather than ice ...

B+L Recalls Soothe XP
03/07/2011 0 Comments
Related Topics: Eye Health , Industry News, Products > Medications, and Therapeutics
Bausch + Lomb is conducting a voluntary recall of its Soothe Xtra Protection (XP) eye drops based on testing that showed that specific lots (Expiration dates: February 2011 through August 2012) of the product were out of specification for preservative efficacy prior to their listed date of shelf-life expiration. While no adverse events have been reported for Soothe Xtra Protection (XP) eye drops, the company has chosen to voluntarily recall ALL lots in the interest of patient safety. Not only has Bausch + Lomb contacted eyecare professionals as well as the FDA to alert them of the recall, but it is also conducting an ongoing investigation to determine why these specific lots were out of shelf-life specification. Consumers who have Soothe Xtra Protection (XP) eye drops should not use them and should return the product to Bausch + Lomb. For recalled product details, visit www.bausch.com.

What do I use notes for on my iPhone?
- Shopping list
- Honey do's
- New project ideas
- Many other things
Apple had allowed for Notes to be synced to Google over the air but killed it in one of the latest updates to the OS. This was a great feature. You can still sync up your notes to Google but now you must do it through iTunes. Why must everything for the iPhone go through iTunes?
I wrote a guest post at www.lehsys.com that might help explain. It will be posted on 10/22/2010.
Let's get back on topic. How can I have my notes with me no matter where I am?
With Google you can download their application and use the Task or Doc service. Task and Doc are not applications on your phone. The Goggle application opens up your web browser to their site. Google does a great job with the web pages.
No, on to Microsoft, I have tried (without have to buy an app) to be able to create or edit a Word or OneNote document online, but can't. You can view Word, but not OneNote. This is a bad thing for me, as I want to use this service.
So, given what is out in the world, I use GoogleTask for my task list now. To find it when you are on a computer (I know your phone is a computer, but I mean one that is not an iPhone), go to Gmail and click on Tasks under the Contacts link in the upper left hand side.
I hope Microsoft catches up quick.
As for the Notes application on my iPhone, I no longer use it.

Frigid weather kept city workers busy
During the week of Jan. 27-31, the employees in the city of Elkins' Water Distribution found themselves overcome with water breaks, frozen meters and water flooding basements and homes from the below-zero temperatures in Elkins.
I have worked with these employees many years and I was extremely impressed with their attitude and compassion for our customers during this week. The thoughtfulness each of these employees gave our customers is to be commended. They were diligent in their work and applied their knowledge and expertise to each individual house and business they went to.
I heard them tell customers, "Don't worry, I will be right behind you," and "I understand what you are going through, I'll be right there."
These are exceptional employees and I, personally, thank them for all the work they accomplished during this difficult week.
