If you work at the Boston Globe, and have any bright ideas on how to stop that paper's downward spiral, management is all ears. At least, that's the party line. On January 8 — in a missive arguing, basically, that the Globe will survive because the alternative is unthinkable — publisher Steve Ainsley vowed that while "the solutions may not be obvious . . . working together we will create them." A few days later, in a memo announcing 50 upcoming cutbacks in the Globe newsroom, editor Marty Baron urged employees to weigh in on what "fundamental changes" the Globe should make after losing 12 percent of its editorial staff.
Unfortunately, recent conversations with Globe staffers suggest that the paper's employees won't be much help. "I'm not sure I have much to say," one told the Phoenix. "I don't know what the answer is." "I wish I had all the answers," echoed another. "But the Globe's challenges are not unique. The whole industry is grappling with the same basic problems."
True enough — but a tad gloomy, no? Fortunately, your correspondent is here to let in the sunshine. The Globe, after all, whatever its weaknesses, plays a crucial role in Boston. (Its investigative reporting, for example, recently helped drive Massachusetts House Speaker Sal DiMasi from office.) In that spirit, here are 10 changes that could help it survive and thrive.
1) DANCE, EDITORS! Forget about hiring another ombudsman who'll simply field reader complaints, talk to the powers that be, and then offer a printed analysis. This is the YouTube era, dammit! Ergo: once a month, get five grumpy, randomly selected readers on video airing their beefs, and then get Baron (or managing editor Caleb Solomon, or metro editor Brian McGrory) responding, in kind, on video. If this happens — and if it isn't always the top-viewed item on boston.com, the Globe's Web site — I'll eat my anachronistic hat.
2) BUY UNIVERSAL HUB AND HIRE ADAM GAFFIN It's not enough to provide (spotty) links to Boston blogs, as the Globe's generally strong Web site, boston.com, currently does. Instead, the site should aggressively cover and critique Boston's burgeoning blogosphere. Adam Gaffin — who runs the must-read Boston-blog aggregator Universal Hub while working a day job (!) — is clearly the best person for this hypothetical post. Gaffin's past criticisms of certain Globe foibles and staffers, including McGrory's previous work as a metro columnist, might pose diplomatic problems. But his sharp wit and mastery of the Web justify ruffling some feathers inside the thin-skinned henhouse on Morrissey Boulevard.
3) FREE IDEAS The premise of the Sunday Ideas section — that Boston is a cerebral city with a natural readership for stories on intellectual affairs — is sound. That said, Ideas itself is frustratingly uneven: sometimes a great read, sometimes boring and pointlessly esoteric. Make intellectual affairs a beat of its own, and reward the best stories with prominent placement on whatever day they happen to run.
4) GET TRASHIER One former Globe staffer contends that the paper should get a bit less . . . how to put it . . . uptight. "Log on to Corriere della Serra," this person says, referring to the Italian daily (online at corriere.it). "The fact is, there's a lot of 'T and A' on that Web site. . . . That's a radical example, but I don't see anything wrong with admitting that we have a varied readership, and not being a complete prude."

What are you doing to support the All Whites? Share your photos and videos here.
Serengeti golf and wildlife estate
Johannesburg, South Africa
Who would have thought the All Whites would be heading into their last group game with a chance of progressing? Who would have thought we'd be sitting equal second and who would have thought we'd draw with the world champions? The 23 players along with the coaching and support staff, that's who!
Heading into the tournament, football fans in New Zealand had to choke on their breakfasts while reading the negative rubbish written in certain media. "Be careful what you wish for" was one headline I was reminded of by a friend in Wellington today. Not surprisingly, the media are singing a different tune now. If anyone doubted the result against Slovakia was the country's greatest sporting moment, then the Italian result has certainly shut them up.
Ryan Nelsen said in his post match press conference that there was something special in this team. For me, it's that man himself. Nelly's leadership skills both off and on the field are so impressive I giggle when some of the younger players seem to get nervous around him.
Without a natural born leader a team will never succeed and his pre-match talks have been truly inspirational. We always had the desire and hunger for success in South Africa, but his words an hour before kick-off solidified the belief within this group.
Those that questioned if New Zealand had the right to be at the World Cup, with only 25 professionals, now have an answer from thousands of All Whites fans.
We said we are not here just to compete and make up the numbers. Now, with that incredible support and fighting Kiwi spirit, we've proven that.

November 20, 2013, 2:30-4 p.m. Lance Gould, Executive Education Director for Huffington Post
(Colloquium Series)
This colloquium session will be hosted by Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey and features a discussion with Huffington Post Senior Editor Lance Gould. Sacirbey and Gould will discuss how new media is changing the way nations interact and how average citizens can now have direct impact in world politics. Location: University Hall, Room 1020
Gould and Ambassador Mo met twenty years ago at the United Nations as a journalist and diplomat respectively. It was a time of great tumult as the old Iron Curtain had collapsed and the former Yugoslavia was disintegrating in a series of conflicts and genocide (Ambassador Sacirbey represented Bosnia & Herzegovina at the UN). Traditional diplomacy was already losing its hold in favor of more transparency and public outreach. Today, journalism is undergoing rapid transformation and diplomacy has gone mainstream through the new media and revolution in communication. The Huffington Post has become a compelling platform that, and along with social media, offers citizens the possibility of greater interaction and access to international political and intellectual leaders.
Lance Gould is Executive Special Projects Editor for The Huffington Post (AOL). As Op-ed editor, he is responsible for making sure content on HuffPost blog platform reflects zeitgeist/news Cycle (Oklahoma tornadoes, Boston-marathon bombing, Syria, "Breaking Bad," etc.), as well as forming blog-series partnerships with major partners, such as: White House, Clinton Global Initiative, United Nations, World Economic Forum, Aspen Institute, (RED), hundreds of US college/university presidents, NBA/NFL/MLB, etc. He is also a speaker/moderator at various panels/events (United Nations Youth Assembly; Aspen Institute's Franklin Project; Education for Employment's forum on youth unemployment in Middle East; etc.). Gould has served as Editor in Chief of the Boston Phoenix and Deputy Managing Editor of the New York Daily News.

On Friday morning December 6, CBS2 anchor Kristine Johnson will visit Montclair State to receive the Allen B. DuMont Broadcaster of the Year Award and participate in the SCM colloquium series.

Kristine Johnson currently co-anchors the 5 p.m. & 11 p.m. news at the CBS owned and operated station in New York City. She joined CBS 2 in the fall of 2006.

Bush and current President Barack Obama in attendance. She broadcasted live in the days following the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. And she traveled to Boston to broadcast live following the bombings at the Boston Marathon. CBS has called upon Kristine to guest co-host the daytime talk show "The Talk" from time to time.

The new king of versatility NIKON ProStaff 4-12x40 Rifle Scope, BDC Reticle, Matte Black (6729) offers the superb optics, Zero-Reset turrets, optimum magnification and field of view to help put virtually any shot in your comfort zone. This may be the perfect riflescope for hunters who travel the country and hunt various game in diverse conditions.
The ProStaff riflescope comes with a generous, consistent eye relief, which keeps your brow safe - even with the heaviest recoiling cartridges, lightweight rifles, and severe shooting angles. Fully multicoated optical system provides up to 98% light transmission and maximum brightness from dawn to dusk.
Precise, 1/4-MOA hand-turn adjustments get you zeroed in quicker and maintain your setting - even with heavy recoil. Quick focus eye piece allows the shooter to instantly bring the reticle into sharp focus.
To simplify field adjustments, Nikon has integrated Zero-Reset turrets into all new riflescopes. Just sight-in as usual, then lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your "zero", and reengage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing-in your subsequent ranges.
Patented BDC reticle allows hunters to hold "dead-on" at ranges exceeding those previously thought possible. The BDC's unique see-through ballistic circles offer an incredible advantage for long range shooting - yet allow a normal sight picture for shorter-range shots where the crosshair itself is the aiming point.
The ProStaff 4-12x40 Riflescope is fully waterproof and fogproof. Optional accessory sunshade eliminates glare in bright conditions and keeps dust and rain off of the objective lens.
All ProStaff riflescopes are covered by Nikon's Lifetime Full Warranty.

Town Square
Republican About-Face on Big Oil
Original post made by Cindy Cross, Parkside, on Apr 25, 2011
House Speaker John Boehner (Ohio-Rep.) announced Monday that Congress should consider cutting the $4 Billion in subsidies and tax incentives oil companies currently receive.
Boehner told "ABC World News" the government is low on revenues and oil companies "ought to be paying their fair share." Boehner said he was confident that Obama would lose the 2012 election if gas prices were $4 or $5 per gallon.
Obama unsuccessfully fought against big oil during the last Congress; wanting the money to go towards green energy alternatives and research. Congress ignored Obama's request.
Oil companies argue that abolishing tax incentives would cost jobs and increase our dependence on foreign oil.
Why the sudden about face from the Republicans who are traditionally pro oil company?
With oil up to $110 per barrel, and average gas prices going past $4.00 per gallon, American's are fed up. The Republicans are listening and possibly see an opportunity to help them in 2012.
Are Boehner and the Republicans trying to win over American voters by taking on the oil companies? Perhaps Obama didn't make take his fight against big oil loud enough. If Congress agrees with Boehner, and America finally gleans taxes from big oil—the Republicans would be hailed as heroes.
The Republican argument that Obama is a poor leader may have some merit if Boehner prevails against big oil.
How can the Democrats save face if the proposal by Boehner passes?

Considering the depths of the horrors our US economy is trying to cope with, the last thing we need is more hits on our economy.
I can still see Speaker Pelosi's buck teeth talking about foreign oil.....at the same time she was daily blocking all forms of US oil, like shale, delaying natual gas, and other forms of energy. She stopped or blocked US drilling, off-shore drilling....all the while lying to us that wind and solar would take care of us. WELL, elec cars are being sold, without enough power to 'plug into'....and of course wind and solar combined are still 5% of our supply. We are losing valuable time, because of the political roadblocks she created AGAINST our country. Zealots like her did more harm than most enemies in sticking us behind the 8 ball. Sadly, Americans are her victims. The cost of FOREIGN fuel this week is strangling most Americans,like the ones having trouble making their house payments and those that are unemployed.
Cindy you just popped up this month. Are you based in DC and check in on active blogs in the country, fixing the talking points of the week ? ? I've never seen your name around Pleasanton.

Sounds like a good idea, but I surmise another cynical Republican attempt to attract voters. Of course, just because Boehner suggests that subsidies to big oil be cut doesn't mean he'll aggressively promote the idea. My hunch is that any Republican-instigated move in this direction would be offset with loopholes and other protections. The strategy would be to give the appearance of going after big oil without actually going after it. To actually go after big oil, however, I think is something most Republicans will resist, just like they resisted removal of tax cuts for the rich.
Obama's best strategic move would be to lasso any congressional move in this direction and call it his own. The congressional move is consistent with what most Democrats want, and so its 'appropriation' as a truly Democratic one would play well with the public.
Knowing Obama, he'll embrace movement in this direction and attempt to turn it into a bipartisan effort. Not such a bad idea. At the end of the day, Obama remains the best man for the job.

This looks like it belongs on dailykos rather than a Pleasanton political forum. Cindy Cross just wrote a blog about "fluff journalism" and proceeds to produce this pablum on political angling within the congress.
There is no significance to the $4 Billion, it is, almost quite literally, a drop in the barrel when the annual revenues of one large oil company exceed $370 billion
After her initial attempt at opining, "Is the tea party heartless", I am going to ask one question only, Will the Pleasanton weekly also publish a conservative pundit?
a resident of Del Prado

'radical' -- as in radical ignorance -- can only get excited when cuts are mentioned about NPR or Planned Parenthood. otherwise, 4 billion in subsidies to an industry that makes untold billions in profits is just a drop in the barrel. 'radical' bellows in an ignoramus's indignation about teachers making a decent salary; but so much as mention reducing subsidies to his revered oil companies and he off to the bloviating races. this is tea party logic, folks. that's why the tp is a dying species.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

In reality, the profitability of big oil companies is a matter of public record, and the republican angling on NPR and planned parenthood are more diversions from debating the actual size of government and the astronomic level of deficit spending.
The progressives cannot document a single instance of a single tea partiers complaint "about teachers making a decent salary" (no doubt purposefully ambiguated by the previous poster) -- the left once again show why they are losing in the arena of ideas

'The progressives cannot document a single instance of a single tea partiers complaint "about teachers making a decent salary"'
This is one of radical's less idiotic remarks compared to his other doozers, but it's idiotic nevertheless. Proportion? Perspective? No one home. (See virtually any and every PW thread on Measure E. Judge for yourself.)

If "Radical" would stop being irradical long enough to actually read the posts of Ms. Cross he/she would find that her reporting has been balanced left to right and is usually in the form of think tank style questions on the political issues we all face as a nation. Her {cross} personal opinion has been restrained. It is apparent that radical never made it past the titles of previous crossroads articles and left the rest to his own self proclaimed interpretation of what he thinks should have been written. This way of political {non} thinking is the biggest challenge our leaders face while the common citizen can just pass radical's idiotic spouting as just that.
An empty can rattles the most.

Casual Reader - tea party is drying up
gordice - tp is a dying species
Outside of the obvious conclusion that both of these comments are from the same person, it is apparent, from Scott Brown in Massachusetts, to the Republican blowout in November 2010, on to the Wisconsin victory (being repeated in other states as we speak) right down to the Measure E battle in Pleasanton, that the TEA Party is alive and well.
The media would love to follow the talking points of Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer and believe one CNN poll to mean that the TEA Party is losing influence or power. The liberal media machine and the Democrats in Congress can slobber all over each other all day.
Cindy Cross is prima facie evidence of all of this. Let's have a look at a few quotes from the PW's new "think tank style" commenter whose "personal opinion has been restrained"
Why the sudden about face from the Republicans who are traditionally pro oil company?
How can the Democrats save face if the proposal by Boehner passes?
Mr. Hoenig...is saying that the U.S. government should slash certain programs and leave certain segments of society out in the wind—"shrinking government." (FALSE statement, blatant straw man for the purpose of conservative bashing)
Trump is supporting the standard Republican ideals such as pro-life, anti-gay marriage, promising to not raise taxes, and anti-Obama care. (ALL of these are OPPOSITE of Trump's stated positions in the past)
Of course the classic "Is the Tea Party Heartless? By Cindy Cross"
I would also ask - will the PW also publish a conservative pundit or are the "crossroads" just a couple of one-way streets?

I'm requesting that you turn this into a genuine educational experience for us. In your own words, might you kindly explain what you meant by: "Regarding the oil companies - they don't pay taxes. No business does. People pay taxes." Please, in your own words in a way that clearly spells out what it is you mean, and what you are driving at. Thank you.

on Apr 26, 2011 at 10:31 pm
I was hoping for obmij to provide a clear explanation in his own words; instead, Stacey provides a rather unhelpful citation of a concept that strikes me as having no relevance whatsoever to obmij's puzzling claim.
I realize that some contributors to this post consistently have a difficult time being understood. The cryptic recommendation to look up 'tax incidence' seems to be a case in point. Opaque reference to a concept embedded in a largely discredited economic view I don't think qualifies as a genuine learning experience.
So, perhaps either obmij or Stacey, in their own words, will educate us on what it means to say, "Regarding the oil companies - they don't pay taxes. No business does. People pay taxes." Still awaiting a clear and coherent response.

In case I wasn't clear, permit me to reiterate. Here's obmij's comment again: "Regarding the oil companies - they don't pay taxes. No business does. People pay taxes." I find the statement to be incoherent at best.
Stacey, um, 'jumps to the rescue' with a call to "Look up 'tax incidence.'" I find this contribution to be no less incoherent, as well as being pointless and directionless.
I do recognize the inability of some to clearly express themselves by means of using their own words. This difficulty contributes not only to incoherence; it also reflects unclear thinking.

I think you are being far more polite than the posters obmij, Stacey, and esbc deserve. Their responses to you are what you'd expect from idiots. They are unable to put clear and coherent thoughts into words. Their thinking processes are severely impaired, can't you recognize that?

They're angry and caught up in a largely discredited ideology. They have no words beyond that which the ideology provides. At times they'll present numbers as 'data', but they always stumble for lack of having provided any accompanying evidence of clear and rational thought. One in particular can only resort to hateful name-calling; the other is constantly attempting to assure readers that what she has said isn't in fact what she meant to say. Clowns. All of them.

Clarence, pardon me if I bow out. I could give you links that would provide you with the information you seek but if you are really interested, you could easily find the information yourself. It is not a wisdom I could provide "in my own words" as you say but rather simple facts that need no rewording.
I will say "in my own words", judging from the some of the comments that came after yours, that this forum has become nothing more than a blog and honestly, not very interesting. Regardless, there's work to do so good luck and goodbye- say or believe whatever you will. : )

In other words, obmij is too gutless and clueless to support his (and Stacey's) incoherent claims. He criticizes this post for becoming too much like a blog. He is troubled when people use full sentences in order to express coherent thoughts. He'd prefer, no doubt, that the post simply be a propaganda board that permits false, incoherent bits of tea party graffiti to be thrown up on the wall. He has been requested to defend his nonsense. In stating an unwillingness to do so, he has confirmed what a small person he is.

a resident of Birdland
on Apr 27, 2011 at 11:14 pm
Oh, so now she admits to putting forward the claim. But it remains incoherent, which is why perhaps someone has experienced so much frustration in terms of being understood by others.
You might just as well have uttered 'brussel sprouts'. They are equally incoherent, because neither 'tax incidence' nor 'brussel sprouts' is provided with a context: i.e., both are without text.
Stacey, go eat brussel sprouts. As far as I can make out, brussel sprouts are no less far removed from bringing coherence to obmij's remarks than is tax incidence. Even the cognitively deficient obmij felt a need to flee from the incoherence of his remarks.

Perhaps you should do a blog post on tax incidence in order to clarify any incoherence perceived by other posters. Educate the masses so that they are able to understand the working concepts underlying the discussion. Of course, you may be accused of embedding claims, but I guess that's the kind of conspiracy theories that come with the territory.
a resident of Birdland
on Apr 27, 2011 at 11:54 pm
Perhaps Stacey, who raised the concept of tax incidence, might be so kind as to illuminate us, in her own words. By so doing, I would hope she'd show how the concept gives support (or not) to obmij's idiotic remarks. Or does Stacey perhaps agree that obmij's remarks are idiotic?
Re. 'embedded claims'. Nothing conspiratorial about it. All speech acts -- whether they be promises, warnings, requests, or any 1000 or so others -- all carry in addition to their illocutionary meaning a propositional content. That is, they purport to claim something while simultaneously expressing an illocutionary meaning. In examples of promises and the like, the claim is embedded in the speech act. See for example the illustrious Cal Berkeley Professor of Philosophy of Language and Brain Science, John Searle. Especially see his Theory of Speech Acts (Cambridge University Press).
Giving this some context: omjib offered one of his routinely ridiculous statements. Clarence asked for clarification from omjib (which I realize is like asking a goat to fly). Stacey then chimed in with an explicit invitation for Clarence to read up on 'tax incidence'. Contained in her invitation (illocutionary level) was a propositional claim, viz., that 'tax incidence' would help Clarence clear up omjib's incoherence. Nothing conspiratorial here. Only stating the facts. Stacey made a claim, then denied making a claim, and only after being presented with irrefutable evidence, she owned up to the claim. Did she attempt to defend or clarify the claim? No. Did she even attempt to explain how her claim was not as incoherent as it appeared (and still appears) to be? No. Instead, she acted like ombij. In all his wisdom, ombij referred Clarence to google.com. Stacey ... appealed to a blogger to perhaps shed some light on her (and omjib's) own incoherence.
In order for Stacey to best digest my remarks, she should eat her brussel sprouts.

"Contained in her invitation (illocutionary level) was a propositional claim, viz., that 'tax incidence' would help Clarence clear up omjib's incoherence."
See?! You DID understand the context! It wasn't incoherent at all. Causality still rules the day! Of COURSE understanding a working concept underlying another poster's claim would clear up any perceived incoherence, or are you refuting that? If someone didn't understand it, they should go look up the concept, become educated. I simply put a name on the concept to help other posters in their quest to be informed. This whole time I thought you were saying that I was making the same claim as obmij's about the oil business not paying a tax because you put my name next to "his ... claims". Thanks for the clarification!
a resident of Birdland
on Apr 28, 2011 at 12:48 am
I'm not convinced that Stacey understands how her embedded propositional claim fit into the context. Any reasonable reader would have to deduce that Stacey's invitation to Clarence to read up on 'tax incidence' was meant to help Clarence disambiguate ombij's incoherent remarks. Inasmuch as my understanding of 'tax incidence', so far as I can fathom, helps not a bit in understanding ombij's incoherent remarks, I must also deduce that Stacey's invitation to Clarence was no less incoherent than were ombig's remarks.
But I've acknowledged that the problem might be my own. So I have asked and I ask again: perhaps Stacey could spell out, in her own words, how in the world 'tax incidence' might help clarify ombig's incoherent remarks? Because without Stacey spelling out what she meant by inviting Clarence to read up on 'tax incidence', her claim is incoherent. It makes as much sense to say: go read up on brussel sprouts.
This isn't a matter of 'causality' ruling the day which appears to be central to Stacey's mode of communicating with her readers. Causality works with the object world; animals cause one another to react through signals, gestures, etc. Humans are different. Our words do not cause, in any sense of the meaning of the term. Perhaps that is why Stacey gets in so much trouble with people she attempts to communicate with. She means her words to 'cause' people to act in one way or another. In genuine communication, however, we seek to have our intentions understood. We might hope that once our intentions are made known, that people will then act in ways that are consistent with our intentions. But this isn't a matter of causality. At all. Unlike animals, objects -- or numbers -- we are agents who may be moved, inspired, repulsed, etc., by what people say, but we are not 'caused' by words.
So, back to the task at hand. ombij stated, "Regarding the oil companies - they don't pay taxes. No business does. People pay taxes." Clarence pleads for clarification. Stacey invites Clarence to look up 'tax incidence'. This strikes me as incoherent. She might just as well have invited Clarence to try a brussel sprout omelet. Both invites are equally incoherent.

The bottom line is that we need to end our dependence on foreign sources of energy, if for no other reason than for national security. We need to transition to other sources, chiefly nuclear/electric/fuel cell. A gas tax can get us there. We need to make it happen.

You say you can't speak for the other posters you cited, then you go on to speak for them. Why would I waste my time trying to convert posters who possess the mental disease of liberalism?
I'll leave it at this--Greg's post above was correct and I'll take it one step further--not only do we need to get off foreign oil, we need to do it primarily by driling for our own resources domestically.
We've wasted a lot of our taxpayers funds tilting at windmills and casting a shadow over the landscape with solar, only to obtain a fraction of our requirements for energy. Stop wasting time and money and provide a resource we already know works.

Why haven't Repubs moved more quickly on this, especially since they all voted to maintain oil co subsidies? Well,
Republicans got more than three-quarters of the oil and gas money contributed to political campaigns in 2010. That's more than $16 million, and that's only including the stuff that needed to be disclosed.

Aquatic exercise is so much more than swimming. From shallow- and deep-water training to Ai Chi (aquatic Tai Chi), the unique properties of water make the pool a suitable environment for people of all abilities. A 3-D liquid fitness room, water lends itself to a well-balanced workout that improves cardio, strength and flexibility all at the same time.
Did you know?
Let's Jump In!
This 30-minute aquatic workout is broken down into two sets, with each set consisting of cardio-wall work, upper-body and core exercises, and cardio running. Use this workout when you can't get to your favorite aquatic class, as a supplement to your existing workout schedule, or as your first introduction to aquatic fitness.
Before getting started, remember to bring your poolside essentials: towel and a water bottle. And if you are taking this workout outdoors, wear your sunglasses and a hat, and load up on sunscreen.
Workout Exercise List
Back Wall Glide (targets lower body): Grab onto the pool ledge and place your feet on the pool wall. You should be in a tucked position. Push off the pool wall and glide on your back as long as you can. Tuck your knees into your chest, place your feet down, and run back to the wall. Repeat.
Side Wall Glide (targets lower body): With the right side of your body facing the pool wall, grab onto the pool ledge with your right hand and place your feet on the pool wall. You should be in a tucked position. Push off the wall and glide on your right side as long as you can. Tuck your knees into your chest, place your feet down and run sideways back to the wall. Change to the left side and repeat.
Horizontal Chest Fly/Reverse Fly (targets chest and upper back): Lift your arms up and out to the side toward the top of the surface of the water. With your palms facing forward, close the arms to the front and then return back to the starting position.
Front-to-back Shoot Out (targets abdominals and low back):This is a buoyant exercise—your feet will not touch the ground. Lift the knees into a tucked position. Shoot the legs out to the front and lay out (think "suntan"). Tuck the knees back into the chest, rotate and shoot the legs out to the back (think "superman"). Tuck the knees back into the chest, rotate and you're ready to shoot the legs back out to the front.
Arm Scoop-up and Back (targets shoulders, biceps, triceps):Begin with the arms by your sides, palms facing out. Scoop the arms up toward the surface of the water. At the top, turn the palms down and push the arms back to the starting position.
Side-to-side Shoot Out (targets obliques): This is a buoyant exercise—your feet will not touch the ground. Lift the knees into a tucked position. Shoot the legs out to the right side (3 o'clock). Tuck the knees back into the chest and shoot the legs out to the left side (9 o'clock).
Running: Run in place by lifting the knees toward the top of the pool, moving the arms vigorously and striking the bottom of the pool with a flat foot (or as close as you can). Running on your toes may lead to tight and sore Achilles tendons and calf muscles.
"Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch (4:30 pm)
At a moderate pace, begin the warm up with one minute of each of the following exercises:
Aquatic Set #1
"Surfin U.S.A." by The Beach Boys (2:30)
"California Gurls" by Katy Perry (4:00) Perform each of the following exercises for one minute each:
"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves (3:41)
Aquatic Set #2
"Wipeout" by The Surfaris (2:35)
"Hot, Hot, Hot" by Buster Poindexter (4:10) Perform each of the following exercises for one minute each and then repeat for one more set:
"Vacation" by The Go-Go's (3:00)
"Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince (3:57)

text: I put a CNC Warrior AK74 style on my CZ-58 and that seems to do a real good job for me, I like to "rip it up" once and a while too. There pretty reasonably priced and do a good job with none of the cheap breaks fit and,finish issues. Just screwed right on and snapped in place with perfect alignment, no muss no fuss. I'm not sure if they have one for that application, but they had it for the CZ, so I'd be willing to bet they'll have one for your application. There a pretty nice and that's what I'd recomend. 1Biggun or coils might know better as they do allot of AK stuff, more than me, and they may have a better sugestion, but the CNC worked well for me, and good quality.

Sliding dovetails aren't just for building bookcases. This technique works extremely well for constructing drawers that will be mounted with mechanical drawer slides.
When you follow these instructions you'll end up with an inset drawer that has a perfect 1/2″-wide space for a drawer slide. By merely putting the socket in a different place you can create an overlay or lipped drawer, too.
A couple notes on this technique: You need the right-size bit for the joint. The common 1/2″-diameter dovetail bit is too big when using 1/2″-thick drawer sides. You're better off with a 3⁄8″-diameter dovetail bit, which is commonly available.
Also, you need to take some care when making the test cuts on the male portion of the joint. If your drawer uses a different species of wood for the sides than for the front, check the fit of the male portion of the joint in a socket in both species. This might sound a bit odd, but different species react differently to a cut. It might just be .002″ difference or so on each side of the joint. But with sliding dovetails, even small amounts matter.
Finally, cut all your parts 1⁄16″ wider than your finished size. The router bit will tend to blow out the grain when it exits the work. After you mill all the joints, run each long edge over your jointer to remove the inevitable tear-out. — CS
To cut the socket, set your 3⁄8″ dovetail bit so it protrudes 5⁄16″ above the top of your router table. Set the fence so there is exactly 9⁄16″ of space between the bit and the fence. Make a test cut to confirm your settings.
Cut the sockets on both ends of the drawer front. Note that I use a backing board faced with sandpaper. This minimizes tear-out when the bit exits the work. The #220-grit sandpaper keeps the work in place during the cut.
Using the same setting, cut the socket on the back end of the side pieces. This socket holds the back in place.
The finished result. You can see the tear-out on one of the joints. Also note the "cabinetmaker's triangle" drawn on the edges. This reminds me of which way my parts will be oriented as I machine and assemble them.
To cut the male portion of the joint, leave the height of the bit the same. Shift the fence so only 7⁄64″ of the bit protrudes from the fence. This measurement worked for my Oldham bit, which measures .275″ at its smallest point. Your bit may vary.
Make a test run before cutting the groove in the sides and front for the drawer's bottom. The parts should slide together easily and require just a couple taps from a mallet to seat them firmly.
In the end, this technique produces a wicked-tight mechanical joint with just a couple tool setups. It's one of those few techniques that is both fast and strong.

|In wake of Rolling Stone controversy, Bruins revel in role as supporters of Boston Marathon bombing victims
|07.22.13 at 12:37 pm ET
While Rolling Stone magazine waxes poetically over the tragic downfall of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the victims from the Boston Marathon bombing continue to heal. Families that lost loved ones — like the relatives of Martin Richard, the 8-year-old boy who will never have the chance to celebrate 9, or the Campbell family, which was planning a 30th birthday party for beloved Krystle — are forced to exist for the rest of their lives missing an integral piece of their hearts.
Janet Reitman's story from the Aug. 1 edition of Rolling Stone attempts to humanize an alleged murderer, detailing the process of how a seemingly normal person becomes a terrorist. Though Reitman was able to detail Tsarnaev's smooth ways with his female classmates in high school, a glaring absence in the story is any mention of the victims. In addition to an outrageously callous cover designed solely to sell magazines, Reitman's story neglected to express any sorrow for the victims and their families that still suffer — with burns, broken hearts and lost limbs — as a direct result of the brutality allegedly caused by the subject of her very story.
The Bruins were the first team to play in Boston after the city ceased its lockdown. A matinee hockey game with the Penguins ensued on Saturday, April 20, mere hours after the suspect was captured by another set of heroes. Thanks to the work of the Watertown Police Department, also conspicuous by their absence in the Rolling Stone story, Tsarnaev was unable to cause any more carnage. From the moment the puck dropped at the Garden, Boston's professional hockey team captured the hearts of this city and, in its own way, helped the victims feel whole again.
Jarrod Clowery, a 35-year-old who watched the Marathon with a group of friends from Stoneham, had his hands and legs burned and, in some places, even shredded at the hands of the Marathon bombers' madness. During his still-ongoing recovery process, the first time he felt like himself took place at a Bruins game.
'I had the chance to be flag captain in Game 7 against Toronto,' said Clowery. 'We watched in the Heineken board room but we went out in the stands after the third [Bruins] goal. I was actually just fresh out of the hospital, so I had a tough time that night. But the whole overtime, I was normal. It was like I never was involved in a bombing. I was out with all the other fans in the stands and my adrenaline was pumping. Who cares if they lost the Cup? You can be proud to be a Bruins fan.'
Unlike many of his friends, Clowery is fortunate not to have lost any limbs during the explosion. Friends from Stoneham — Marc Fucarile and brothers J.P. and Paul Norden — lost limbs. Fucarile, who has been through 15 visits to the operating room and nearly 50 operations, had his right knee amputated above the knee. He also suffered first-, second- and third-degree burns over half his body, as well as two fractures in his left leg. Shrapnel from the bomb literally littered his body. The Norden brothers each lost a leg in the bombing. Their bodies also were ravaged by burns and shrapnel.
"I was hopping the railing when I heard the first bomb go off," Clowery recalled. "I told everybody, 'Get in the street, get in the street!' I was three feet from the bomb. The bomb blew under me, filling me from my ass to my ankles in shrapnel but, obviously, leaving me whole. The others were still flat-footed on the ground. That's why they took the brunt of the damage. But let me tell you something: My friends Marc, J.P., and Paul are pretty big guys. They saved people's lives by taking that blast. And now they need help."

Statement: I heard a while back that if bees make their own comb, they will make it smaller. This makes it harder for mites to reproduce, and it is more natural for the bees. Apparently, Ed and Dee Lusby have done lots of research on this and find that 4.9mm cells are ideal for their bees. I was told to look on here for stuff about that, but all I can find is references to it.
Question: I was also told that the further north someone lives, the larger their bees are. I gave my bees some foundationless frames and they made drones so big that they could not fit through the entrance reducer so, I had to flip it over and scoot it out a bit. (This was July/August, the reducer was put in after a split and they were getting robbed.) Where can I find research on size of bees as compared to latitude?
