A Labor House Divided
Charles Ensley, the veteran leader of the 20,000-member local representing the city's welfare workers, held an exuberant kickoff rally last week for his campaign to unseat incumbent Lillian Roberts as executive director of District Council 37, the city's largestand once most powerfulmunicipal workers' union.
"We are embarking on a mission today to return this union to its former glory," said Ensley, 62. Thirty of the council's 56 local presidentsrepresenting 70,000 of the council's 120,000 memberswere present to support his candidacy, Ensley said, and he had them raise their hands as the crowd of 100 cheered and shook blue signs proclaiming a "Unity Slate."
The rally was held on a plaza at the rear entrance of the council's huge headquarters at 125 Barclay Street on the far west side of Lower Manhattan, offices purchased back in those glory years when anything the council's then influential leaders said had impact at City Hall and in Albany. Those days are long gone, however. Now the plaza is notable as the site where investigators for the Manhattan district attorney's office hauled away truckloads of records in 1999, in a probe that resulted in criminal charges against some 20 officials of D.C. 37 and a seismic shake-up in what had always been perceived as a sedate and corruption-free labor organization. The investigation opened a Pandora's box of long-hidden secrets, ranging from the blatant rigging of contract votes and local elections to the theft of union treasuries and even hushed-up mob associations. The plaza was also the place, union veterans knew, where the leader of a key local was savagely beaten by goons dispatched by a mobster dissatisfied with the size of his tribute.
The D.A.'s probe felled several of the heads of the so-called Big Five locals, the largest of the 56 within the council. Some, like Charles Hughes, of the low-wage school aides, and Al Diop, chief of the clerical workers, went to prison for grand larceny and other crimes. Others, like James Butler, of the city hospital workers, were forced out of office amid exposés prompted by the winds of change. Stanley Hill, the once proud militant leader-turned-Rudy Giuliani ally, was booted from his post as executive director of the council, banished by his own international leadership for having failed to intervene in the tidal wave of corruption, both large and petty, that surrounded him in the union's headquarters.

Almost alone of the top leadership, Ensley emerged unscathed. No charges were pressed against him or his top officers. No misdeeds were revealed by the expensive and painstaking forensic audits of the entire council compiled by two top private investigative firms. If anything, the close-up examinations revealed a local that excels in its own internal democracy. From its offices more than 30 blocks away from the council's Barclay Street headquarters, the local publishes its own newspaper, The Unionist. Unlike the other big locals of D.C. 37, where the top executives awarded themselves immense salaries and perks (Hughes took in $240,000 while representing some of the council's lowest-paid members), Local 371 caps its own officers' salaries at the highest wages of its own members. Ensley receives a total of $87,0000, a combination of the $57,000 he is entitled to as a Supervisor Three title in the city's workforce, and $30,000 for other union hats he wears, including as a vice president of the parent body, the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees.
Once deemed an outsider with a penchant for making trouble, Ensley earned credibility after loudly claiming that he believed the union's infamous 1996 contract vote was rigged. This was the vote in which members mysteriously ratified a contract that included two years of no pay increases. When Ensley demanded an accounting, he was met with icy silence. Later, investigators determined that ballots had been handwritten by union aides close to Hill and phony figures had been provided by crooked local leaders.
"Charles is supremely democratic; his election could change the whole course of this union," said Mark Rosenthal, a onetime insurgent who helped spur the investigation and ensuing cleanup. Rosenthal, president of Local 983, which represents parks workers and motor vehicle operators, won election as treasurer of the district council last year on a ticket headed by Roberts, a former union leader brought back as a peacemaker for warring factions inside the council.
Roberts, 75, Ensley's opponent, was a feisty teenage organizer in Chicago when she caught the eye of former labor strongman Victor Gotbaum, who brought her to New York to organize hospital workers. She was Gotbaum's heir apparent to head the council, until he became unenthused about her leadership qualities and urged her to accept a post as state labor commissioner.
After being forced out as labor commissioner by Governor Mario Cuomo in 1986, Roberts became a vice president of Total Health Systems, a health maintenance organization that was accused of running afoul of city rules by paying city union officials to sign up members. No charges were ever pressed, but Roberts later quit the business and retired. She said that reading the newspaper stories about the squalid scandals unearthed in the council had made her sick at heart, so she became a consultant to international trustee Lee Saunders, who had his hands full dealing with both persistent law enforcement inquiries and the ever fractionalized council.
Roberts said she was approached by most of the council's key officials to take a leadership role and help end the three-year-long trusteeship imposed by the parent international. "They could never agree among themselves," she said in an interview. "I was delighted to do it."
"The union was fragmented. We needed a mother figure," said Rosenthal. Yet Roberts's honeymoon ended quickly. The reform faction lost faith in her because of her insistence on keeping her nephew's law firm on the council payroll long after the union's outside ethics monitor advised her to drop it. She also seemed adrift amid the ongoing municipal labor negotiations, unable to prevent layoffs of city workers or effectively rebut City Hall.
To those who observed her, Roberts appeared to show more vigor in the internal battles than she did in dealing with the city. She left important positions within the council unfilled, including that of its political director, a crucial role for a union that relies on government for key assistance. City Council leaders watched in puzzlement as Roberts continued to bring legislative proposals before the Civil Service and Labor Committee headed by Queens councilmember Alan Jennings, long after Jennings became a pariah with Council Speaker Gifford Miller for his opposition to the budget. At the recent Municipal Labor Coalition confab on Long Island, officials of other city workers' unions described Roberts as distant and unfocused.
Roberts insists that's not the case. "We've had our most active legislative year ever," she said. "We got more than 18 bills passed." She credited her research work on city contracting for prompting the city to make major changes.
The decision by Ensley and his allies to mount a campaign against her re-election, in a delegate vote to be held in late January, amounts to a distraction from her job of winning a new contract, she said. "I think their ambition got ahead of their concern for the rank and file," she said. As for her role in the union, she said, "I am the 'former glory' that they keep talking about."
Richard Steier, editor of The Chief, the weekly paper read religiously by civil servants and municipal union officials, said that despite Ensley's large bloc of votes, the contest is far from over. "Don't count out the sentimental factor or the power of incumbency," he said. Adds Deidre McFadyen, the Chief reporter who has broken many of the stories about misdeeds within the council, "This union is much too fluid for anything to be wrapped up yet."

Birds Close Popular N.C. Fishing Beach
I am a little behind posting this story but here it is. The Pilotonline.com and several other papers report on the North Carolina Department of Wildlife's closure of the popular fishing beach Cape Point on the Outerbanks. The closure is a measure to protect a small group of nesting shore birds. A group called the Defenders of Wildlife based out of Washington, DC threatened to sue the state of North Carolina if they did not close the area. The beach should reopen once the Piping Plovers fly away. I hope they don't nest on your house.

Supreme Fly Fishing
AZcentral.com reports about another famous and powerful fly fisher. The honorable Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner is visiting Montana for a few days of fly fishing before starting her retirement in earnest. I think she has an unfair advantage when it comes to fly fishing though. If there is no hatch on she can simply tell the bailiff to tell the trout to "All Rise".

What Happens in Vegas Stays In Vegas ...Specifically your Money!
Well I have returned from my recent visit to sin city. Thanks to Zug for some excellent blogging in my absence. I took my PDA in hopes of doing some Moblogging (mobile blogging) but it was very hard to find wireless internet access in Vegas (free wireless that is..). I guess the Casinos don't want you hanging out in your room. I was able to experience history in the making as the High last Tuesday was 117 degrees. That is the highest temp ever recorded in Las Vegas. It may be a "dry heat" but 117 is hot no matter if it is wet or dry. Also for those of you who are interested I did hit for 10k on the new Star Wars slot machine. Yep 10,000 pennies. Also for the record, Zug's theory of betting on snake eyes to come up at 30-1 at craps is indeed crap.

Start practicing your double and triple haul and sign up for this contest to be held at the Fly Fishing Retailer World Trade Expo. The expo is being held in Denver, Sept. 8-10th. I should be in Arkansas fishing the White River that week. If so I will be casting to a big brown trout instead of a hoop at the end of a 2 inch deep casting pool.

Fly Fishing Raft "Monster Garage" Style
The Brothers Paisley with a limited amount of help from Zugbug and I, have semi-completed the fly fishing raft project.

Introduced with the 2011 Q2 Release of the RadControls for AJAX, WinForms, WPF and Silverlight is the new Toolbox Grouping functionality. Controls in the toolbox will be delivered in multiple tabs, organized by type and role, right after installation.
The users of the Toolbox Configurator wizard will also benefit from the improvement. For those who aren't familiar, it can be found under the Visual Studio Telerik menu. Using the toolbox configurator will add the items in the toolbox organized in groups, although the old 'one-tab' look will still apply for previous releases.
If you find it hard to keep up with all the items in your Visual Studio Toolbox you may have taken the time to sort them manually. You no longer have to to do this chore. It is high time Telerik did this for you, as we are always striving to improve your developer experience.
Happy Coding!

Not reallyReader comment on item: Turkey's Ironic Electoral System Submitted by cuneyt (Italy), Jun 14, 2011 at 13:32 The reason for the rule was to set up a strong parliament. Before the military coup, there were small fractions in the parliament, and nothing could get done. Bickering and blatant politicking had people disgusted with the parliament. For example it took 12 months to elect a new president in that atmosphere. The 10 percent rule was set up long before Kurds had political parties. We are talking about 80's when Kurds voted for leftist or rightist parties in Turkey. Kurdish parties rose to prominence in late 90's. ...

I am trying to keep hopeful that this works out. Brad needs to stop talking in absolutes because it makes it harder to admit you've made a mistake. I think that if this is going to explode it will be Emily that has to walk away because I can't see him doing it.

NiGHTS Community, a site for obsessive NiGHTS fans, came into possession of some rare Journey of Dreams memorabilia earlier this year when Sega gave the administrator a private demo of the game (!) Instead of hoarding it forever or selling it on eBay, the site has decided to give it away in a contest. And the prizes are all being given away individually instead of as a giant pile, so you have half a chance.
You could win a PAL copy of NiGHTS or much more interesting (but less playable) stuff, such as a glow-in-the-dark sticker sheet, a Japanese promotional poster, or a two-track soundtrack sampler which apparently was never made available outside of Sega of Europe! We hope you can fulfill your dreams of having stuff with pictures of NiGHTS on it.

You should always get a second opinion... A lot of times car places will tell you something is wrong to get more money out of you. We have been told 3 consecutive years that "we should get our back breaks redone" because there only about a quarter of the beak pad left. The first time we were told this, I had my grandfather give them a peek. My break pads were just fine. The second year, we had actually taken a long road trip so we had gotten the oil changed twice on the trip before our vacation, our break pads were low, on the return trip, they were fine...
this last year, mind you I still haven't gotten my "breaks fixed" the back ones are fine but the front ones need replaced.. Huh.. Must be magic.
always get a second opinion. :)
It always seems that whenever we get a little bit of spending money (tax return, 3 paycheck month, etc.) there is something that needs attention. The Volvo we had before this car always needed something done to it. I love my car, it never needs anything expensive. It's new enough that I don't have to constantly take it in. We are probably going to get new tires with this tax return, but that's the first real expense, other than monthly payments, we've had with it since we bought it 3 years ago.

First off, how hilarious is it that Stephen Jackson was trying to direct Wes Johnson, and Wes Johnson started to listen to him. Second off, it seems that Johnson and Wallace are battling for that position closest to Tyrus Thomas look at how animated coach Rambis gets when trying to instruct Johnson to take that spot. But why is it so important? Well, the way that the players positioned dictates where the man taking the tap will try to go with the basketball.
A great look at what could have been a pivotal moment – sure, it wound up not mattering because of the missing free throws by the Wolves – but interesting to consider the thought process.

In Los Angeles, only Rumbankete comes close to sounding like a Cuban band (As of the summer 0f 2012, there may be more cuban salsa bands in LA). Their musicianship level is higher than most (if not all) of the bands in the State of California. The top Timba DJs in California are DJ Waldigz and DJ Saoco. The best dance floor to dance Timba music is at La Hacienda Hotel on Fridays and Sundays. There is no cover and there is plenty of parking.
Burbank has a Saturday Cuban venue at El Criollo. DJ Ricubana promotes this event.

The invitation to paint on Wet Canvas this month references a couple of lighthouses. In order to make challenge this more relevant to me, I thought I'd sketch some of North Carolina's fine lighthouses -- and so sketched this one of Cape Hatteras.
My reference photo (I live four hours from the lighthouse!!! LOL) showed a sunny summer day, so I thought, also fitting for our predicted showers today, to add a bit of a storm approaching.
I'd like to do this again on a larger sheet of paper so I can extend the lighthouse. I tend to be more relaxed about my daily practice sketching, and tend to freeze up a bit when I attempt a 'painting.' I'm going to have to think a bit of ways to change that!! LOL

I thought it was already dramatic, then i read you added the storm approaching -- which is really neat. Great results!

A large sheet of paper intimidates me. Yet it is easier to let the paint flow, yet I can't seee it so well. hmmm

Joseph Smith (1805–44) First President of the Church
"Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race" (History of the Church, 4:227).
Wilford Woodruff (1807–98) Fourth President of the Church
"The community whose hearts are open to the cries of distress, who are ready to administer of the substance which the Lord gives them to relieve their fellow creatures, may always depend upon the favor of the Lord, for He loves those who are kind to their fellow-men, and who administer to their necessities, whose hearts are tender, and who readily respond to applications of this character which are made upon them, or who anticipate them by giving freely to the destitute" (in James R. Clark, comp., Messages of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6 vols. [1965-75], 3:141).
Lorenzo Snow (1814–1901) Fifth President of the Church
"We should renew our covenants before God and the holy angels, that we will, God being our helper, serve him more faithfully during the ensuing year than we have in the past, that our public and private life, our actions and the spirit and influence we wield may be in keeping with the motto, 'The Kingdom of God or nothing'" (in Conference Report, Apr. 1880, 81).
David O. McKay (1873–1970) Ninth President of the Church
"A single, struggling individual may be stalled with his heavy load even as he begins to climb the hill before him. To reach the top unaided is an impossibility. With a little help from fellow travelers he makes the grade and goes on his way in gratitude and rejoicing" (Pathways to Happiness, comp. Llewelyn R. McKay [1957], 131).
Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) Eleventh President of the Church
"If you want to love God, you have to learn to love and serve the people. That is the way you show your love for God" (in Conference Report, Apr. 1973, 180).
Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985) Twelfth President of the Church
"My life is like my shoes—to be worn out in service" (as quoted in Gordon B. Hinckley, "He Is at Peace," Ensign, Dec. 1985, 41).
"None of us should become so busy in our formal Church assignments that there is no room left for quiet Christian service to our neighbors" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 256).
Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–) Fifteenth President of the Church
"No man can be a true Latter-day Saint who is unneighborly, who does not reach out to assist and help others. It is inherent in the very nature of the gospel that we do so. My brothers and sisters, we cannot live unto ourselves" (meeting, Columbus, Ohio, Apr. 25, 1998).
"Carry on! We've got a lot of work to do, a tremendous responsibility. We've barely scratched the surface, when all is said and done. … I hope we can be increasingly recognized as men and women of goodwill who want to make of the world a better place" (interview with Deseret News, Feb. 25, 2000).

Term Limits for District Judges?
I'm referring, of course, to the race for District Judge in which Mike Craig defeated 20 year veteran Dewey Burchett.
It was more than a hard-fought race; it was a bitter race to the end.
The DA's influence definitely came into play. I'm not saying that he 'ran' Mike Craig in a move to increase his own power base, but it cannot be denied that Schuyler Marvin has some stroke with the voters.
Burchett supporters are wondering what treatment they will receive in the courtroom. The other judges realize that they could be next. Other parish officials are sitting on the sidelines taking notes.
I believe that when Mike Craig becomes Judge Craig, he can do a lot to allay the fears and to restore equilibrium to the process, and I am confident that he will.
Marty Carlson expresses similar sentiments in The Forum. Carlson says:
"Allegations flew both ways in this race. Craig does have significant tax debt; Burchett has made a number of questionable rulings. But a good deal of insignificant minutiae also tainted both political campaigns, none of which was pertinent to the qualifications of the candidate."
The Times has suggested that appointed judges are the answer. Carlson suggests that perhaps term limits would be the more suitable answer.
I like her idea better, although it will take a lot of thought to get it right.

I do not think any of us should be treated any differently because of who we vote for. We have a right to our own opinions and a right to vote for whomever we choose. If I decided to run for judge, I would expect there to be opposition. Like I have said before, a woman run for judge in Bossier -- this would be new!
I agree Jim, I hope a lot of these worries are eased once the new judge is on the bench.- AnonymousOctober 19, 2008 at 3:22 PM
this article seems to be a little bit about fear mongering. dont expect the Da to treat any lawyer differently based on who they support politically. Just look at the DA's race in 2002-03. Lots of lawyers who did not even support the current da get fair, unbiased treatment from the da and ada's. Heck, i supported the da and lawyers who didnt get the same treatment as i do on a daily basis. In 6 years, i haven't seen the da be petty or biased in the courtroom - even when dealing with his own, past opposition. you can criticize the da for other things, but ive never seen this-- and I am in the courtroom almost every week in bossier parish.
ReplyDelete "this article seems to be a little bit about fear mongering"
Not really. The fears are out there, this article is attempting to soothe them somewhat:

I don't think we need someone to run for judge when the ink on their law degree is still wet.

Consumer Education and Information This page is from: Food Safety and Inspection Service |
What is Jerky? | This product is a nutrient-dense meat that has been made lightweight by drying. A pound of meat or poultry weighs about four ounces after being made into jerky. Because most of the moisture is removed, it is shelf stable – can be stored without refrigeration – making it a handy food for backpackers and others who don't have access to refrigerators. Jerky is a food known at least since ancient Egypt. Humans made jerky from animal meat that was too big to eat all at once, such as bear, buffalo, or whales. North American Indians mixed ground dried meat with dried fruit or suet to make "pemmican." "Biltong" is dried meat or game used in many African countries. Our word "jerky" came from the Spanish word "charque." |
How Can Drying Meat Make it Safe? | Drying is the world's oldest and most common method of food preservation. Canning technology is less than 200 years old and freezing became practical only during this century when electricity became more and more available to people. Drying technology is both simple and readily available to most of the world's culture. The scientific principal of preserving food by drying is that by removing moisture, enzymes cannot efficiently contact or react with the food. Whether these enzymes are bacterial, fungal, or naturally occurring autolytic enzymes from the raw food, preventing this enzymatic action preserves the food from biological action. |
What are the Types of Food Drying? | There are several types of food drying. Two types of natural drying – sun drying and "adiabatic" (shade) drying – occur in open air. Adiabatic drying occurs without heat. Solar drying sometimes takes place in a special container that catches and captures the sun's heat. These types of drying are used mainly for fruits such as apricots, tomatoes, and grapes (to make raisins). Drying from an artificial heat source is done by placing food in either a warm oven or a food dehydrator. The main components of an electric food dehydrator include:
Why is Temperature Important When Making Jerky? | Illnesses due to Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 from homemade jerky raise questions about the safety of traditional drying methods for making beef and venison jerky. The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline's current recommendation for making jerky safely is to heat meat to 160 °F before the dehydrating process. This step assures that any bacteria present will be destroyed by wet heat. But most dehydrator instructions do not include this step, and a dehydrator may not reach temperatures high enough to heat meat to 160 °F. After heating to 160 °F, maintaining a constant dehydrator temperature of 130 to 140 °F during the drying process is important because:
Why is it a Food Safety Concern to Dry Meat Without First Heating it to 160 °F? | The danger in dehydrating meat and poultry without cooking it to a safe temperature first is that the appliance will not heat the meat to 160 °F – a temperature at which bacteria are destroyed – before it dries. After drying, bacteria become much more heat resistant. Within a dehydrator or low-temperature oven, evaporating moisture absorbs most of the heat. Thus, the meat itself does not begin to rise in temperature until most of the moisture has evaporated. Therefore, when the dried meat temperature finally begins to rise, the bacteria have become more heat resistant and are more likely to survive. If these surviving bacteria are pathogenic, they can cause food borne illness to those consuming the jerky. |
What Research Findings Exist on the Safety of Jerky? | There have been several scientific studies of meat dehydrating and lab tests on jerky samples by the following professionals: Judy Harrison, Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia; Mark Harrison, the Center for Food Safety and Quality Enhancement, Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Georgia; Richard A. Holley, Food Research Institute, Agriculture Canada, in Ontario; and William Keene of the Oregon Health Division. In studies, the meat dehydrated included slices of beef from the round, loin, or flank; corned beef slices; and ground beef formed in jerky presses. Keene examined homemade venison jerky which infected 11 people with E. coli O157:H7. In a related work, factors affecting the heat resistance of E. coli O157:H7 was the subject of an April 1998 piece by J. Kauer et al., Letters of Applied Bacteriology, Vol. 26, No. 4, page 325. In the jerky studies, some samples showed total bacterial destruction and other samples showed some bacterial survival – especially the jerky made with ground beef. Further experiments with lab-inoculated venison showed that pathogenic E. coli could survive drying times of up to 10 hours and temperatures of up to 145 °F. A recent study by the Harrisons and Ruth Ann Rose, also with the University of Georgia, was published in the January 1998 Journal of Food Protection, Vol. 61, No. 1. The authors analyzed ground beef jerky made with a commercial beef jerky spice mixture with and without a curing mix containing salt and sodium nitrite. Half of the ground beef was inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 before making it into jerky strips and dehydrating it. The authors found that in both the heated and unheated samples, the jerky made with the curing mix had greater destruction of bacteria than jerky made without it. The jerky made with the mix and heated before dehydrating had the highest destruction rate of bacteria. They concluded, "For ground beef jerky prepared at home, safety concerns related to E. coli O157:H7 are minimized if the meat is precooked to 160 °F prior to drying." |
What are the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline's Recommendations for Making Homemade Jerky? | Research findings support what the Hotline has been recommending to callers. Additionally, safe handling and preparation methods must always be used, including:
Are There Special Considerations for Wild Game Jerky? | Yes, there are other special considerations when making homemade jerky from venison or other wild game. According to Keene and his co-authors, "Venison can be heavily contaminated with fecal bacteria – the degree varying with the hunter's skill, wound location, and other factors. While fresh beef is usually rapidly chilled, deer carcasses are typically held at ambient temperatures, potentially allowing bacteria multiplication." |
Is Commercially Made Jerky Safe? | Yes, the process is monitored in federally inspected plants by inspectors of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. Products may be cured or uncured, dried, and may be smoked or unsmoked, air or oven dried. The following terms may be on processed jerky products:
What is the Safe Storage Time for Jerky? | Commercially packaged jerky can be kept 12 months; home-dried jerky can be stored 1 to 2 months. |

For developers, Google is finally adding support for the Do Not Track privacy setting to its Chrome browser. "Do Not Track -- which aims to help users opt out of being tracked across Web sites for the purposes of targeted advertising -- is contentious and still somewhat theoretical," AllThingsD reports. For instance, some critics say the setting has the potential of giving consumers a false sense of security. "But since Chrome is close to becoming the world's most-used browser, if it's not already, its support for DNT is pretty important."
Apple's fated social network is now officially scheduled for shutdown at the end of the month. "After making hints about its future back in May, Apple has announced plans to shut down Ping as of September 30th," The Next Web reports.
"Ping was announced to great fanfare, but the feature never quite took off," writes PCWorld.
"You don't need hindsight to figure out why Ping didn't work," reasons AllThingsD. "The most obvious problem with the service was that it didn't sync up with the world's most popular social network.
"But now Facebook and Apple have worked ...
On the eve of Apple's latest iPhone launch, Google wanted everyone to know how well its Android mobile operating system is faring.
"Today is a big day for Android," Hugo Bara, Android's director of product management, announced in a Tuesday blog post. "500 million devices activated globally, and over 1.3 million added every single day."
"I see @arubin tweeting Android stats again," MG Siegler tweets. "Must be an iPhone event tomorrow."
Yes, the boast is "clearly meant to deflect attention from Apple's iPhone 5 announcement," VentureBeat concurs -- adding that, in fact, "those figures show ...
This summer, news broke that Apple was dropping YouTube from its list of built-in iPhone apps. Firing back, YouTube on Tuesday debuted its own -- new and improved -- iPhone app.
"Though YouTube lost its prominent place on the iPhone's home screen, it gained something arguably more important: the ability to show mobile ads," The New York Times' Bits blog writes.
Indeed, "Because the new app is built in-house by YouTube, it is no longer subject to Apple-enforced restrictions, meaning ads are now fair game," AppleInsider explains.
"For Google, this means it can now earn some serious coin ...
Oh, the crazy things they make models wear.
In a cross-promotional, buzz-building stunt, models walking in Diane von Furstenberg's fall runway show wore Google Glass on Sunday, while the designer's team has been testing the "smart glasses" for the last week.
What are the critics saying?
"Google glasses look dumb enough that you might expect to get beaten up for wearing them," according to Gizmodo. "But they've now made an appearance at New York Fashion Week and... they still look dorky, even on super models."
"Honestly, everything at Fashion Week is so weird and heavily sponsored anyway that this ...
Taking on Pandora and other ad-supported music streaming services, Apple is reportedly in talks to license music for a radio service of its own.
"Several online music services … have recently added Pandora-like custom radio features," The Wall Street Journal reports. "But Apple's outsize presence in online-music sales and massive installed base … could make it a much more serious threat."
Also, while most such services operate under limited licenses that restrict what they can do with the music, "Apple is seeking direct licenses with record labels that would give the company more flexibility in using music," reports With consolidation in mind, enterprise social media platform HootSuite is buying (another) social media platform Seesmic. "The companies are not disclosing the price, but we have been told it will be based on how well HootSuite manages to convert Seesmic users on to its own product," TechCrunch reports. Remarkably, "HootSuite and Seesmic were founded around the same time in 2008, though it took a year for Seesmic to move into its social network marketing platform development," WebProNews writes. "HootSuite focuses heavily on marketing its services to its business clients, which it says includes 79 of the Fortune 100 ...
Facebook this week took measures to appease investors and spark demand for its beleaguered stock. To rein in supply, the company canceled its secondary stock offering, and announced it will use cash instead to pay for taxes on its restricted stock units. What's more, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has vowed not to sell his stocks over the next year, while board members Marc Andreessen and Don Graham promised to hold onto their shares for the foreseeable future. "While that does not mean other insiders won't sell as hundreds of millions of additional shares become free trading in the months ahead, investors ...
Hoping the second times's a charm, Nokia is taking another crack at the streaming music space. "And this time, it's completely ad-free and no cost," GigaOm writes. "Lumia 710 and 900 device owners can grab it now from the Windows Phone Marketplace to start streaming or customizing their playlists; even when offline." "It's Pandora without the ads," as Gizmodo puts ...
"With a US-based team of 'musicologists' running the show… users will have access to more than 150 playlists that span all major genres as part of an all-you-can-eat pro bono offering," according to Engadget.

Tonganoxie Mayor Mike Vestal and his family said Tuesday that it was a reaction to new medication — not a suicide attempt — that sent him to the hospital on Sunday.
During a telephone interview from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the mayor said he's had problems getting to sleep and his previous sleep medication was not working. So he tried a new medication.
"I guess it was some bad stuff," Vestal said. "It was new. I was only taking it one day. I had a very bad reaction. I don't remember Sunday."
Vestal was in critical condition on Monday, but his condition has improved and he hopes to be home later this week.
Tonganoxie police had been investigating the incident as a pain medication overdose — and had considered it a possible suicide attempt.
But Vestal's daughter said her father had not tried to kill himself.
Because Vestal had not been completely coherent in recent days, police had not interviewed him, so the investigation is ongoing, said Chief Kenny Carpenter. Carpenter did say it's possible some people might have jumped to conclusions about an overdose — "us being part of that, maybe before we should have."
Vestal, who has used a wheelchair since a 1970 auto accident, takes medication for other ailments, to combat low iron, as well as low blood pressure, according to his daughter, Katie Underwood.
Vestal said he plans to participate in Tonganoxie City Council's next meeting, which is April 12.

Comment Re:Windows 10 Now On 400 Million Active Devices, S (Score 1) 153
I'm actually curious as to what their definition of active is. I have a Windows 10 / Android hybrid tablet. It pretty much just run Android, but, I have booted it into Windows a couple of times and have even let it apply the anniversary update. But, this machine is really only being used when it is running Android. So, how is it counted?

Should you purchase followers for Instagram?
A new photo sharing social networking application by the name of Instagram is ruling the roost. After all, everybody likes a comprehensive social network, a network that has immense potential and helps people to connect. It is this social interaction that can attract Internet marketers. They prefer to manipulate the mindset of people, ensuring that they can get a lot of sale from affiliate income as well as from selling their own products through such social networking platforms.
However, for a new person to make it big while selling products through Instagram is virtually impossible until and unless he has gathered a substantial amount of fan following. Now, as a newbie, getting followers can prove to be a very big problem for you. Under such circumstances, you have a resource in your hands; you can buy Instagram followers from reputed dealers.
Well, the job of the false followers would be to inflate your following number, thereby attracting the real people, who look upon you as an authority on the subject. You can get quality followers from isocialmike, the website that is dedicated to providing such services for social networking profiles. It helps if the inflated rankings and the exposure of the product is mainly due to such false followers.
However, it needs to be done with the utmost secrecy, as it is against the rules and regulations of the social networking websites. So, it is important that you place a lot of emphasis on getting the right people to take on the job of providing you with followers. Prefer to get a comprehensive package that deals with drip feeding of the followers rather than providing everything on a single instant. This is surely going to trigger red flags, and you would be banned from the network very soon.

What Intel's Thunderbolt is
Thunderbolt is a latest I / O technology of Intel. This technology is also known as Light Peak technology. With this technology, users can transfer data through a port at very high speed, even up to 10Gbps or two times better than USB 3.0. Thunderbolt was made on cooperation between Intel and Apple. By using ThunderBolt, Apple claimed Macbook Pro can deliver data faster than the previous interface.
If the first Apple has a FireWire interface, now they have Thunderbolt. This interface can transmit data at a speed of 20 GB per second. As an illustration for you, 3 interfaces can only transmit data at a speed of 5 GB per second, or two times the speed of USB 3. In addition to the data channel, this interface is also used to distribute the Display port. As we know, USB and PCI Express were developed by Intel and Apple and a blend of this technology experience gave birth to the latest Thunderbolt interface which is more flexible. Although small, Thunderbolt has interfaces; PCI Express and Display Port. With the element of PCI Express on Thunderbolt, then a device that is using Thunderbolt can be connected to external devices such as RAID System and Video Capture and because it contains a Display Port also, Thunderbolt can deliver High Definition video standard.
Here are three advantages of Thunderbolt, which deserves to be known.
1. Super fast in transmitting data. Thunderbolt combines the capabilities of PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort protocols, and capable of Bi-directional data transfer between computers and peripherals at a speed of 10 Gbps, long fast enough to transfer a Blue Ray movie in under 30 seconds.
2. Answering "puzzle". Although initially positioned by Intel as optical technology, the first operation of Light Peak will use copper wires.
3. The future will be faster. Intel has stated that, in the next decade, Thunderbolt technology would be possible in achieving speeds of 100 Gbps.
How to Tell if an Online IPhone Case Seller Has Original Products
Sometimes people sell items online which are not the genuine article. They are cheap and look very much like the original product but they are just copies. Most people are not interested in a copy but want a genuine one.
If you are buying an iPhone 6 case online you may be concerned as to whether the items that you are buying are genuine or not. It can be very difficult to know when you are looking at a website. The photos of the items may look right but may not be or the photos may show the originals but the items being sold are not. There are things that you can do to check.
Some site will state that they are selling genuine items. Of course, they may not be telling the truth but they are more likely to actually have genuine items than if they do not make this claim. You may be able to tell by the ranges, descriptions and prices too as if they look cheap, do not sound right and are just too cheap then they may not be genuine. It is worth contacting the seller and asking them. Again they may not tell the truth but if you get no reply then they are probably less trustworthy.
It can be good to look at reviews of various sellers sites. You may find some online or discussions on message boards and places like that. This should give you an idea of which sellers are worth trying and which may not be.
Sometimes it is just a problem of buying iPhone 6 plus case and then looking at it to see if it is genuine. Buy on your credit card and then if they refuse to refund you if you are not happy then you can make a claim through your credit card.

Aegean Odyssey for Kids
Why Choose Aegean Odyssey?
- Focus on ancient civilizations and enrichment
- Like-minded passengers are intelligent and curious
- Relaxed dress code with no formal nights
Aegean Odyssey for Families
Because of the heavily educational nature of the itineraries and onboard programs, the brochure notes the cruises are "unsuitable for children under the age of 12." The cruise line's managing director told us travel agents are to advise potential passengers to think twice before coming aboard with children younger than 16.
There are no facilities or programs aimed at families or children. A handful of cabins can sleep three or four passengers.

Las Vegas Man Busted Here With 660 Boxes of Meth-Making Ingredient Pseudoephedrine
www.funnyaussiephotos.com |
What could someone possibly need with 660 boxes of pseudoephedrine?
That was the question Arizona Department of Public Safety officers were asking a Las Vegas man after they found an absurd amount of cold medicine in his car, and it didn't take long for them to figure things out.
DPS officials say 35-year-old Roberto Rodriguez was pulled over Tuesday night in Phoenix as part of a routine traffic stop. When he consented to a search of his vehicle, DPS officers found the 660 boxes of cold medicine containing the ingredient pseudoephedrine.
While Rodriguez may have just had the worst cold in the history of mankind, unfortunately for him, pseudoephedrine is the key ingredient in cooking up a fresh batch of crystal meth and is illegal to have in large quantities.

Rodriguez told police he had been going from store to store, buying small quantities of the drug and planned on selling it to other individuals for $10,000.
Hopefully those folks weren't relying on the cold medicine to relieve an actual cold because Rodiriguez was arrested and charged with possession of chemicals and/or equipment to manufacture methamphetamine.

In our blog post every Monday we select a reading from the Revised Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday, and pair it with a Frederick Buechner reading on the same topic.
On July 7, 2013 we will celebrate the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost. Here is this week's reading from the gospel of Luke:
Luke 10:1-3
After this the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves.
The following excerpt was initially published in Lion Country and later in The Book of Bebb:
Bebb said, "Antonio, I'm not kidding myself. What I do next may be in my hands or then it may not be, and that's what I'm waiting here to find out. They're always locking people up for the wrong reasons-the right people maybe, but the wrong reasons and the wrong times. Think of it, Antonio-this thing I've been dreaming about come true at last. I threw out the life-line, and the one caught it was Herman Redpath in all his wealth and power. And now the lock-up. But my ways are not thy ways, saith the Lord. Antonio, you take a man's been in prison a couple years, and he's ready for Jesus like he's never been ready any place else. He's ready for anything has got some hope and life in it. Life, Antonio, is what a prisoner's ready for. Freedom. Lion Country. It's worth breaking the law just so you can get put in the lock-up, where the grapes are ripe for the harvest and the Lord needs all the hands he can get for the vineyard. You should hear the way they sing hymns behind bars, Antonio. Makes you go all over gooseflesh."

Mirrored Table Brings Sunlight To A Room, Saves On Power Bills
A small furniture piece brings instant solar light into a home.
Igland Design of Norway has created a simple, but very elegant and effective table called the 'Pure Sunlight.' This table features internal mirrors that reflect sunlight inside a room to significantly reduce the need for using bulbs and other electric lights during day time.
Pure Sunlight is best placed by a window or a door to allow enough natural light to come in and comes with dials which can adjust the mirrors to best capture the sun's light throughout the day. What's more, it can also be used as a table top in the room.

Eyes of La Palma By: Serge Brunier |
Region: Europe | |||
Autumn constellations of Perseus and Cassiopeia with the elegant Double Star Cluster shine above a sea of clouds and a cluster of observatories. The image is photographed at the 2400 meter Roque de los Muchachos observatory in La Palma, one of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off Africa and a place for number of the world-leading observatories. From left to right the four more obvious telescopes are the 2.5 m Nordic Optical Telescope, the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope, the half a meter Dutch Open Telescope (solar), and the one meter Swedish Solar Telescope which currently has the world's sharpest eye of its kind.

A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting (in the style of an unconference) for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching with technology. These events are often organised to coincide with other educational events like the Scottish Learning Festival and the British Educational Technology and Training Show BETT.
Participants volunteer (via the TeachMeet website) to demonstrate good practice they've delivered over the past year, or discuss a product that enhances classroom practice.[1][2]
TeachMeet events are open to all and do not charge an entry fee.
Originally conceived in the summer of 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland, under the name "ScotEduBlogs Meetup". The new name TeachMeet was created by Ewan McIntosh and agreed upon by the attendees of the first event. The 2nd Edition was held in Glasgow on 20 September 2006.[3]
The 5th TeachMeet was the first to be held at the BETT Show in London.[4]
In 2010 TeachMeet 'Takeover' was introduced, where teachers took over vendors stands in the main conference to bring the TeachMeet discussion out of the Apex Room and onto the exhibition floor.[5]
TeachMeets are now regular occurrences in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, Australia, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, the USA, New Zealand. In New Zealand the Teachmeet is virtual and is run totally via Google+ Hangout.
Common features[edit]
The following features are often part of a Teachmeet, but the format changes according to the size of the meeting and the preferences of the organisers:
- Micro-presentations - lasting 7 minutes
- Nano-presentations - lasting 2 minutes nano presentation (3-5 one after the other)
- Round-table break-outs - lasting 15 minutes or so, allowing focussed discussion around a theme, with a volunteer facilitator
- Random selection of speakers - from a pool of willing participants
- Backchannel - to let non-participants participate

Be Afraid, be very afraid...
"President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Tuesday that the rule of Islam on mankind is the only way for salvation of human beings.
"There is no truth on earth but monotheism and following tenets of Islam and there is no way for salvation of mankind but rule of Islam over mankind," said Ahmadinejad in a meeting with Afghan Sunni and Shiite ulama at Iranian Embassy in Kabul.
President Ahmadinejad said nations are today distancing themselves from culture of materialism and selfishness and look for a new way for their prosperity, that is the path of Islam.
He said that the world is on verge of a great upheaval and ulama at this juncture shoulder a heavy responsibility that is introducing genuine Islam as it is.
"Nations today have no haven but religion," the Iranian president announced, cautioning Muslim nations against enemies' divisive plots.
He said, "All of us have the duty to resist the enemy by closing our ranks."
He said that the Iranian nation today feels more than ever the need to stand beside the Afghan nation.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has kindly received their Afghan brothers and will continue to do so in future. Minor issues will cannot affect Iran's policies on Afghanistan," he added.
The president said Islam belongs to all generations and Muslims should get ready for global mission of Islam." (source)
Is there anyone that thinks he plans to "rule the world" and impose Sharia law in a peaceful manner? Would Sharia respect our civil/human rights? Would it allow for Christmas celebration the way the US allows footbaths on public restrooms? I think not.

A plastic surgery specialist is a physician with extensive training in the execution of plastic surgery procedures.
Plastic surgery is the use of surgical procedures to rebuild or reshape injured or misshapen body parts. Congenital defects, such as a cleft lip or palate, can be corrected by a plastic surgery specialist. Injuries sustained during auto accidents also may require the services of a plastic surgery specialist. These procedures fall under the category of reconstructive plastic surgery.
The other category of plastic surgery is cosmetic plastic surgery. Plastic surgery specialists often perform procedures like breast augmentation, face lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, and lip injection as elective surgeries for patients who wish to make aesthetic improvements.
An otolaryngologist is more commonly referred to as an ENT, someone that can treat medical issues you may be having with you ears, nose, or throat. This is a physician who is specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the ear, nose, sinuses, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, head, and neck. These doctors treat patients through both medical and surgical means. For instance, an otolaryngologist may treat an obstruction of the nasal passage, caused by malformation of the nose, through rhinoplasty.

The native of Collingwood, Ontario played junior with the Hamilton Red Wings and London Knights. After scoring 100 points for London in 1971-72 he was chosen 27th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Amateur Draft. The young forward split the 1972-73 season between the Tulsa Oilers of the CHL and the struggling Maple Leafs.
Osburn was relegated to the minors after Toronto rebuilt its roster prior to the 1973-74 season. He went on to lead the CHL with 37 goals while skating for the Oklahoma City Blazers. Osburn and defenceman Dave Fortier were traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in May, 1974 for Bill "Cowboy" Flett. He only played one game for the powerful Flyers and remained in the minors until retiring in 1978. During his last 3 1/2 years as a pro Osburn was a consistent goal scorer for the Philadelphia Firebirds of the North American League and the AHL.
