Town Square
Atherton Police Negotiations – Status is right here
Original post made by Wow, Atherton: other, on Apr 11, 2013
April 4, 2013
Dear Atherton Resident,
I am writing to you as the President of the Atherton Police Officers Association (APOA) to call your attention to some important decisions before your Town Council. These decisions may change the way the Town provides your safety and security services. Ultimately, the Council's choices may lead to the outsourcing of the Atherton Police Department to another local agency.
* Staffing
The Police Department is experiencing a staffing crisis. Only 3 of the allotted 5 Sergeant positions are filled. The Town has repeatedly failed to attract qualified candidates to fill open Police Officer positions. Several of our Officers are unable to adequately perform patrol duties due to illness or injury.
Many shifts are being run without a Sergeant and often there are only 2 Officers in the field. This does not allow us to safely provide the services you desire.
This situation will deteriorate if the Town is unable to attract and retain candidates with the proper background, skills, and abilities. The Town must be willing to compensate fairly if it hopes to maintain its Police force.
* Parcel Tax
The Town has no retail businesses providing sales tax income. It relies on property taxes for the majority of its income. Following the implementation of Proposition 13, the Town supplemented this revenue with a Parcel Tax, which expires every 4 years and requires a 2/3 majority for passage.
The Council must soon make a decision about the Parcel Tax. The current Parcel Tax measure expires in July 2014. If it is not renewed, the Town will simply not be able to afford its Police Department.
The Parcel Tax has been $750 per typical parcel and the rate has not been increased in decades. In September 1999, the Atherton Police Department had 31 members. Today the Atherton Police Department has 21 authorized positions, some of which are not filled. Shrinking the organization, not increasing revenue, has accommodated the growth in expenses
Without an increase in the Parcel Tax the Town has seen a shrinking dollar to provide the services the Parcel Tax is supposed to accommodate. Could this be why we have a shrinking Police Department?
* Sworn Police Officer and Dispatcher Contract Negotiations
The APOA has a contract with the Town, called a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The current MOU will expire September 30, 2013. The Town Council has tipped its hand on several occasions in public forums that they will mandate a series of reductions in salaries, pension, and medical benefits.
If the reductions imposed upon the Police Chief and Lieutenant earlier this year is any indication, these cuts will be severe. In fact, if the cuts are similar in scope, many Officers, Sergeants and Dispatchers will find they are unable to
provide for their families. As much as they enjoy working in this town, they may have no choice but to seek other employment opportunities.
In the face of budget cutbacks, other neighboring communities went for years without hiring new Officers. They are now hiring again. They are competing for officers that would consider leaving their agencies saving them a considerable training investment. If Atherton does not compensate at market levels, they will not only be unable to attract officers, they will lose their Officers, Sergeants and Dispatchers to these other agencies.
This has happened before. From 1998 through 2004, there were a series of police layoffs and resignations. They came in the midst of two failed Parcel Tax measures, staff reorganizations and layoffs. The Town reduced compensation to a level where Atherton became non-competitive. Many officers and dispatchers went to work for neighboring jurisdictions. It took several years to rebuild the Police Department.
The San Jose Police Department provides insight into what could await Atherton. SJPD has lost fully a third of their trained and experienced officers. They left SJPD because of severe reductions in compensation and benefits. San Jose Police Department cannot train and replace officers quickly enough, resuhing in a department which is seriously understaffed. Crime has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.
The Council will need to decide if it will continue to compensate at existing competitive levels or reduce salary and benefits.
* How You Can Help
The Atherton Police Department has been in existence since the founding of the town in 1923. The APOA wants the APD to be one of the best Police Departments on the Peninsula. We are proud to work here and want to continue the tradition of high-quality service. We believe Athertonians share our vision.
These upcoming decisions are now before the Council. It is very important you express your views to the Council. For your convenience, we have enclosed an addressed response card. Please use this card to send your opinion to Mayor Lewis and the rest of your Town Council. Please let them know you support us. Thank you.

There is NO way the parcel tax will either be extended or increased if the council does not bring the taxpayers who will pay the bill into the discussions on the forthcoming negotiations and the resultant proposed labor agreement.
From: PETER CARPENTER
Subject: A formal request regarding police contract negotiations - keeping the taxpayers informed
Date: April 11, 2013 5:06:00 PM PDT
Dear Town Council,
This is a formal request that the Town not begin labor negotiations until there has been a public discussion of the " set of objectives for the discussions" that the council has decided in secret and that any proposed agreement resulting from such labor negotiations be made public at least 15 days before that proposed agreement is voted on by the council.
The taxpayers will be required to bear the cost of any proposed agreement and they should be given the opportunity to give you their input BEFORE negotiations begin and BEFORE a proposed agreement is voted on by the council. The labor negotiators will clearly do the same for their membership. Nothing in this request suggests that the negotiations themselves be open to public scrutiny.

" The Town has repeatedly failed to attract qualified candidates to fill open Police Officer positions."
Could it be because most police PROFESSIONALS aren't interested in being glorified security guards? Maybe I'm wrong, but all the real cops I know and have worked with wouldn't work in Atherton to save their souls. There's your problem attracting qualified officers - no one worth a damn wants to be a security guard, they want to be police officers. REAL police officers.
"Many shifts are being run without a Sergeant and often there are only 2 Officers in the field. This does not allow us to safely provide the services you desire."
What services? Picking up your newspapers? Bringing in your mail? Bringing you your key when you lock yourself out of your house? Responding to false alarms?
"This situation will deteriorate if the Town is unable to attract and retain candidates with the proper background, skills, and abilities. "
You mean candidates that wish to be glorified security guards? That shouldn't really be a high bar, should it?
" In fact, if the cuts are similar in scope, many Officers, Sergeants and Dispatchers will find they are unable to
As much as they enjoy working in this town, they may have no choice but to seek other employment opportunities."
Where are they going to find other opportunities to work as glorified security guards at police officer salaries?
"The San Jose Police Department provides insight into what could await Atherton. SJPD has lost fully a third of their trained and experienced officers. They left SJPD because of severe reductions in compensation and benefits."
Sorry, SJPD lost those officers BECAUSE THEY LAID THEM OFF! SJPD wouldn't hire any of the existing security guards from Atherton. They'd have to send them through the police academy all over again.
"The APOA wants the APD to be one of the best Police Departments on the Peninsula."
Then you should refuse to be glorified security guards and start acting like REAL police officers. No more picking up mail. No more watering lawns. No more of the other nonsense BS the town is asking its police officers to do. If you truly want to be PROFESSIONAL POLICE OFFICERS. START ACTING LIKE IT! There isn't a San Jose cop I know that would even consider working in Atherton no matter what the pay. They are PROFESSIONAL Police officers and they do a professional police officer's job.
"These upcoming decisions are now before the Council. It is very important you express your views to the Council."
Yes folks, think long and hard. Is your ability to drive DUI in your town and get away with it really worth the additional 2 million dollars that you don't have to spend if you contract with the SMCSD like your neighbors in Woodside and Portola Valley? They seem quite happy with the service they are provided.

Peter taxpayers were already part of the discussion. It's called the election that took place last November. Two candidates ran on a platform of respecting the will of Atherton residents to keep the police department, and to end the practice of Kathy Mckeithan to disrespect and destroy the morale of these Officers. The residents decided not to shortsightedly look at costs in keeping the police department.
As the letter from Mr. Mattes pointed out, Officers will leave if they are not compensated competitively. I ignore what Menlo Voter says...he obviously couldn't make it as a cop and has axes to grind, but we all know San Jose isn't Atherton.
Restoring competitive compensation is just a first step in trying to repair the many years of damage caused by Kathy Mckeithan. For example, a decision was made by a town manager who just stayed a few months to bring in an outside chief, something totally inappropriate for Atherton in my view. If there are no internal promotion opportunities, Officers are going to look at the here and now, which is current salary and benefits. I say promote an internal candidate to chief. There are several highly qualified ones.
It's going to wind up costing this town tons more money to rehire qualified Officers when the ones we have leave because of compensation, or to reconstitute the police department when outsourcing plans fail.
If you want something, you have to pay for it.

Police supporter, you advocate "restoring competitive compensation"? What's not competitive about having a contract that requires compensation at the 70th percentile? What's to "restore"? You guys are already well ABOVE the average. What are you talking about?

Mr Carpenter, While you sit from your lofty perch and pass judgment in you're empirical manner you apparently have missed the process now underway by the Council and Town Manager to commission a survey to discover the preferences and choices to be made by the residents on keeping the parcel tax and increasing it. Maybe you forgot as you already denigrated the survey unless they used your outfit.
To be empirical like you there is NO WAY the residents of Atherton can wade into the details of salary and benefit compensation even if they were interested as they have no standing in the actual process. Yes they pay the bill and they can always express their opinion but in the end the process is in the hands of George Rodericks and our elected representatives.

"here is NO WAY the residents of Atherton can wade into the details of salary and benefit compensation even if they were interested as they have no standing in the actual process."
Atherton's residents are a lot smarter than you give them credit for and time and time again citizens in other communities have used the referendum process to directly dictate compensation issues. I understand that this may be beyond some individual's capabilities or interests.
My preference is to rely on our elected council but I believe that that should inform the taxpayers in advance as to what are their objectives and get feedback and then give the taxpayers the opportunity to vet the proposed agreement before it is voted upon.
As for the survey issue - I object to a costly, narrowly focused, unvalidated, unstandardized survey that only deals with the parcel tax question rather than a much broader, standardized and well validated survey that covers taxpayers' assessment of the entire range of Town services. And I have NO relationship or financial interest with the National Citizens Survey.

no, Atherton isn't San Jose. Atherton doesn't have a highly trained, professional police force. It has over paid security guards.
No axe grinding here. I just happen to know of what I speak. You are obviously an Atherton cop.

I know she's the mayor, but I just have to laugh at Mattes' enclosed return envelope addressed to Elizabeth Lewis. Wonder if these materials were already printed up before her election......
a resident of Atherton: other
on Apr 12, 2013 at 9:02 pm
Let's separate Mattes' propaganda from some actual facts.
Percentage of compensation that San Francisco cops contribute to their pension plan? Between 10 and 11%, and going up.
Percentage of compensation that Santa Cruz cops contribute to their pension plan? 20% That's TWENTY PERCENT.
Percentage of compensation that Atherton cops contribute to their pension plan? ZERO. 0%. NADA. NOTHING.
And they're paid at the 70th percentile of the wealthiest county in California.
And they're still complaining they're underpaid.
And the costs are going up 50%.
And their jobs are nowhere close to as dangerous as San Francisco or Santa Cruz cops. Not even in the same universe.
Maybe Menlo Voter can fill us in on what San Jose cops pay towards their pensions. Maybe the Almanac can run a piece on the real economic issues and compare them with other cities in the Bay Area.
This is a ridiculous situation.
a resident of Menlo Park: other
on Apr 12, 2013 at 9:27 pm
I'm not up to date on what SJPD officers contribute, but last I heard it was around 9%. Even with the 70 percentile guaranteed pay and the non contribution toward their retirement, I don't see SJPD officers breaking down the doors to apply with APD. APD has always been viewed as a joke by real police departments.

Katrina's lessons still not learned 5 years later
Posted on August 28, 2010
By Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP President and CEO
Cross Posted from TheGrio.Com
Ms. Sadie is an African-American woman who was born and raised in Pointe a la Hache in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. When Hurricane Katrina struck five years ago she lost the only home she had ever known. Due to a series of administrative and procedural gaffes, Ms. Sadie is still living in the trailer assigned to her by FEMA after the storm. In April of this year when the Gulf oil disaster occurred, Ms. Sadie watched her entire community crumble under the devastating weight of economic and cultural loss.
Now as she looks out of the window of her trailer, she sees fishermen just meandering about because their place of work has been defiled and many weren't even afforded the chance to engage in the "vessels of opportunity" program. Ms. Sadie and her community embody the conundrum faced by coastal dwelling communities and beyond-- the interconnectedness of cause, effect, impact, and response to climate change.
Five years after Hurricane Katrina, we are still failing to absorb the lessons that Katrina and the multiple subsequent disasters should be teaching us. US over-dependence on fossil fuels is wreaking deadly short and long term destruction, and we've only seen the tip of the impact.

LOVE my foundationless foray using starter strips. After their first delay at doing their first two, they now prefer working on them to the foundation. I interlace foundation/starter strip/foundation and they make their own comb straighter and nicer than the foundation. No burr or brace problems. The difference is shocking. So glad I didn't listen to all of the nay-sayers. On the other side of this frame, they've stored honey in those giant cells, so that goes to show you they don't lay it full of brood. The eggs are now nice uncapped larva. I'll be curious if these will be drones or workers. My bets are on drones, but then again, these are large pure Russians-- they might want a bit more room.
Click for High-Res Photos: With great pictures of eggs! (Probably drones, but this shows I have one good laying queen in there-- somewhere!)
A comparison of foundation (top) and foundationless (bottom). The top one, of course, is older. But notice the size difference.
Pretty eggs!

Where I stayed
Guest Inn Muntri
We spent another day with Jass and he took us and Matt to the national park where we walked through the jungle to Monkey Beach. Although the beach wasn't great we had a hard trek through the jungle which was fun!
The other great thing about Pinang is the food
the local street stalls. As a chef he tries to visit a few times a year for inspiration, it was an eye opener for us. Here's some of our faves, we can't remember the Asian names for most dishes:
Fish head curry
Chinese egg (preserved and planted for over three months)
Peanut balls - delicious!
Ban Chan Kuih - a peanut pancake, like a pancake taco filled with peanuts and sugar
Chinese noodle soup with Char Sui pork in.
Laksa - spicy noodle soup usually with seafood in.
Mango lassi shakes - fresh fruit and yogurt drinks
Meat rolls
Banana leaf curry - three indian curries served on a banana lead with three dips, rice and poppadums, Lizzie was in heaven!
Chicken satay sticks
We loved our time in Pinang so much so that we think it's one of our favourite places so far. It has a European feel to it with the best food Asia has to offer and full of friendly faces.
It helped that we met Jass and Matt that we great company, and we are hoping to see Matt again in Oz. We'd recommend it a thousand times over - Jo wanted to live there!

This appears to be Breaking News: CIA Dir. Petraeus Responds Re: Benghazi
Original post made by Anyone But Obama, Amador Estates, on Oct 26, 2012
Web Link
It should now be clear...Obama not only knew, but it would have been his decision not to rescue anyone there.
This pathetic excuse of a President and Commander-in-Chief has to be defeated if America is to survive.
We need to demand answers about what Obama was doing when he found out, and what precisely happened. He knows (but would rather campaign in Vegas and engage in juvenile rants about binders, horses, bayonets, etc) when the mid-east in is flames, not to mention our economy.

And where is the outcry and coverage in the main stream media? This obvious coverup and ineptitude by obamas administration should be their undoing, but the willing idiots that support him will ignore the illegal and immoral actions that killed our ambassador and 3 others in Libya. What has become of our country.....

Let's all vote for the bold faced liar, Romney. It will be like the good old days of GW Bush. How I long for unnecessary wars with the killing and maiming of our young soldiers, the futile hunt for Osama Bin Laden and the abuses at Abu Graib and Guantanamo. I'm sure the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians killed in the war would agree. In fact, I hear Iraq is planning on changing the name of Bagdad to Bushdad to honor the liberator. And Falluja will become Cheneygrad. Those were the good old days. Running up the deficit with tax cuts and war spending all the while blaming the other party and espousing a balanced budget. Good times, good times. Oh, and how could I ever forget the stock market crash of September/October 2008 that wiped out my retirement savings and cut the value of my home in half! What fun we had when our line of credit was pulled by the bank. Those were the days. And who would ever forget the $700 Billion TARP bailout of the banks? It was fun seeing the free market capitalist Republicans beg for money from the government. And what a hoot it was to find out that the government was wiretapping Americans without a warrant. There was just so much fun and frivolity going on, we just forgot about the 4th amendment to the constitution. It was such fun and hilarity that John Ashcroft almost left his hospital bed to go back to the White House and join in the fun and listen in on a few steamy phone calls. Yes, it's the liar Republicans we want to vote for because they will tell you whatever you want to hear and do whatever they damn well please - and that is the American way!

Just remember, Obama will have the same color skin when he is defeated, as he was when he was elected.
Many who voted for BO in 2008, will not be voting for him in 2012, and it's got nothing to do with the color of his skin.

Four years of BO lying and stats to prove his ineptitude and you still are going to vote for someone who is trying to destroy America? What are you smoking? Let's start with the recent Benghazi issue, then look at his constant manipulating the media to cover stats (ie. lower unemployment:FYI, Ca. did not (somehow) get its stats in on time...Hmmm, wonder how that happened?). So many examples, so little time.
Remember, in Socialism (which BO is promoting), just remember, SOMEONE HAS TO PULL THE WAGON!! Tell me, who will that be?

Hey Megan,
Wise up.
Do you know what "pulling the cart" requires?
It means those in the private sector must pay for more and more government services and govt employees.
Given that Obama is (deliberately) destroying the private sector, industry-by-industry, those of us who are left in the private sector will find it impossible to pull anymore ... if this Marxist is re-elected.
My motivation to achieve has been reduced significantly by this president, and it will absolutely die if he is re-elected. I'll be done...as will America.

Your motivation to achieve has been reduced significantly.... Wow, you must be a pretty impressionable fellow. Just don't ask for a handout while you're sitting on the curb watching hard-working immigrants drive by you in their bmw's. Also, find one name and stick by it. I'm tired of responding to the same old racist curmudgeonly troll who populates the PW Forum as if his very identity depended upon it. Go do volunteer work for the Red Cross or something. Or do you hate them and the people they help too?

Meger, 'just don't ask for a handout?' That's what you leftists are all about...handouts funded by working Americans. And, if you tired of responding, just say no. Go do volunteer work for planned parenthood or maybe an organization that is interested in saving lives.

I have been a Red Cross volunteer all of my adult life. This morning, the Princeton Electoral Consortium, which puts over a quadrillion variables into its computer model, says there is a 98% percent certainty that Obama wins the election. Sorry Mittens, but you're in for another unhappy four years at the prospect of Americans moving toward greater peace and prosperity.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
Wilson is not even remotely responsible for this loss...how many times does Bradshaw run into our blockers??? A-****ing-lot! Our run blocking sucks bad! Zone blocking like the skins have makes everyone look good...when the Giants were a good running team we had a zone blocking scheme and we were number one, now our Oline is old and our center sucks on the run to boot...Snee is aging and now Diehl is in there...No syncronicity on the line on defense or offense.
Wilson is the last thing I am worried about
The kid I was high on but I admit that his confidence maybe be hurting cause of that fumble. He ran hard and physical and TC took that away from him with preaching ball security. I say just let the kid run the way he does.
Dudes a 1st rd pick, not some guy u just say "oh well" 2.. Every other RB i've seen in NY back to Joe Montgomery was better there rookie seasons, then this guy.. I mean, everyone.. Bradshaw, Jacobs, Tiki, Montgomery, Dayne, Wheatly..etc Every single RB was better there Rookie yr.. At what point, can u say this guys stunk his rookie yr away?
This kid is fast but he takes some serious hits.
All of the great RB's seem to have a knack for avoiding the big hit . . . . so far, he shows no such knack.
This thread is pointless...Wilson was not an issue, problem, or solution tonight. Defense, penalties, play calling (not throwing the ball more) were all bigger issues.
Everyone said "oh JPP is a rookie, he won't do much this yr" and he contributed.. As a 1st rder, u should at least contribute.. Hes not only not contributed, hes been utterly terrible.. Like i said, outside of 2blowout garbage time games, where he had some easy runs, hes got 19carrys 32yrds and some drop passes... Thats ridiculous...

The thrill of the hunt
At 17, Erik Olson, of Pequot Lakes, and Austin Mesenbrink, of Crosslake, figure they've been friends since before they could walk.
They're pretty certain they've been hunting nearly as long. Deer, pheasant, duck and turkeys — the Pequot Lakes High School students have hunted them all.
In September the pair embarked on an elk hunting trip in the Colorado mountains that they say they will never forget — and can't wait to do again.
Olson, a senior, and Mesenbrink, a junior, were part of a 10-day, father-son, cross-country trip that culminated with 5 1/2 days of archery hunting for elk in the North Park area of Colorado. The trip included their dads, Dave Olson and Brad Mesenbrink; another father-son pair, Scott Bredemeier and his son, Ryan, 22, of Eden Prairie, who own a cabin in Crosslake; and family friend, Troy Florell, of Jenkins.
They left Sept. 19 for Colorado to hunt with Medicine Bow Outfitters near Walden, Colo., a family hunting guide business owned by Florell's cousins.
Erik had been rifle hunting in Colorado for elk four times before and had shot a cow while out there on a previous trip with his dad. Austin accompanied his dad out elk hunting in 2006, but he was too young at the time to hunt. This was the first time both teens were going to archery hunt for elk.
While Erik and Austin both rifle and archery hunt for deer, they prefer the excitement and challenge of archery hunting. For months before their trip, they practiced their elk calls and archery, trying to prepare for their elk hunt.
They spent their first night in a cabin on the outfitters' ranch, then rode horseback, along with all their camping gear and food, for an hour up the mountain to base camp. They left base camp and trekked another 2 1/2 hours up the mountainside on horses until they reached spike camp, a large tent that contained a gas grill, stove and cots, found in a clearing among a thicket of trees.
The high winds made hunting difficult, since it prevented the hunting party from hearing elk calls. They also had to become acclimated to the higher altitudes.
For the first few days of the hunt, no one got anything. Two days before they were to leave, Erik was asked by Jamin Florell, a hunting guide, if he'd want to hunt with him at a lower camp. Erik strapped his sleeping bag on his back, along with some dehydrated food, and walked down the mountain in search of Jamin.
While hunting, Erik and Jamin found an elk herd, a nice, large bull accompanied by about a dozen cows. Jamin, who only had a license to shoot a cow, got one with a long bow. Later, they tracked her blood trail for about three hours, but it wasn't a good shot and they never found her, Erik said.
Soon after Jamin took his shot, Erik had his compound bow aimed at the bull. He was shooting into the sun and took a shot when the bull was about 30 yards out — and missed. The arrow was deflected off a tree branch.
"It was kind of a heartbreak," Erik said with a smile. He had shot a cow with a rifle as a ninth-grader while elk hunting in Colorado, but archery hunting was a different sport.
Elk hunting in the mountains was physically draining and a challenge in itself. It had snowed twice while they were on the mountain, and most days the temperature ranged between 40-50 degrees. Erik and Jamin hiked for about 15-16 hours hunting that day.
In early evening, Erik said they could smell elk in the distance. The winds had calmed down a bit for the first time in days, and they knew a herd was near. They used their cow calls to "get the cows mewing to each other," he said. It took about 20 minutes before the cows started responding by heading in their direction.
As Jamin made another bugle call, the bull responded, walking up out of a ravine and within shooting range. Erik took a shot at about 20 yards and this time, his arrow met his target. It took about 1 1/2 hours before the bull went down, and in total darkness other than their lanterns, they field-dressed the bull and left it hidden by branches on the mountain until they could return during daylight. By the time they returned to base camp it was 11:15 p.m. and they were exhausted.
The next morning they headed back up the mountain on horseback with more help to carry the elk down. Four of them, including Austin and Erik, wore frame backs with 85- to 115-pound portions of meat strapped to their backs. During the five hours it took to get back up the mountain, clean up the elk and bring the meat down on their backs, it had snowed, rained and hailed, and they had endured 50-mph winds.
Erik was the only successful hunter this time around. They all decided to split the elk meat. The Bredemeiers fashioned a large, homemade cooler in the back of their pickup to bring the meat home, which was processed locally.
Erik and Austin both said they want to go back and do it all over again.
"It was an awesome experience. If we all had rifles, we would have all got one, and that's what is tough about archery hunting," Austin said. "It's a lot more challenging and the rewards are better when you're successful. This was Colorado hunting at its finest."
Erik's elk hunting trip nearly didn't happen for him. Six weeks before they left, he suffered a dirt bike injury, knocking him unconscious. He broke his collarbone and suffered a compressed T7 vertebra in the accident.

I Wish all flats would be like this one
and every owner would be like Salvatore.:)
Charming apartment, great design, you feel like being home.
Everything you can imagine is there, all the facilities.
The location is great, you have old town with all
Beautiful streets and restaurants all over,
You have a flower market and fruits just in front of the house,
Beach is 5 minute walk.
The best flat I have ever had.
Salvatore is so polite and helpful, answers all the questions
Within minutes.
The only bad thing you have to leave for home.
Thank you so much, Salvatore
Great apartment with the best view of the ocean and a friendly staff welcoming their guests. The only downside was that they don't have a system to take care of guests luggage after checkout time at 10am. If your flight is later but still want to have a relaxed day before the flight, you must find lockers for a fee in the city or the airport (14 euros per bag in Terminal 2 or 1 euro per hour in the city). It should be included for the money spent. Other than that, great place.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people
We (3 girl friends) spent a very pleasant weekend in the appartment. The terrace is spacious, the appartment in a very good condition. Everything was clean, incl. towels and bed covers.
The host couldn't meet us but his helpful and very friendly cousin. He let us in earlier so that we could leave the luggage- a big help!
The location is good, the bus from the airport stops close by and if you want to take a bus to the center it is quick and easy.
We would come back any time and recommend the appartment.
The apartment is very good located, infront of the main entrance is a tramstation. You are on a main street filled with bakery, boutiques and stores, but you dont hear anything when you're inside the flat. we had at the start problem with the door, but salvatore took care right away, so when we came back from exploring nice, the door was working. I really can recommend the apartment!
we had a wonderful time at the cote d'azur :)
Apartment complety new, very nice, warm and comfortable, bigger than pictures.Excellent location, 1 minute to old Nice, tram stops in front of the door. Salvatore helps a lot answering very quickly and keeping the luggage last day. In the same street, avenue de la Republique, you can find bakery, supermarket,..Garibaldi place is closed the apparment. The only thing it can be improved is the light in the dinner room that the room needs a stronger light during the night.
Nice appartement in a good location; also if it takes a bit of walking to the old town.
All the appointments with Salvatore were perfect, we got the keys for the appartment and a few instructions.
OK. I liked everything. The apartment in the city center. All nearby. Recommend.
Thank you a lot! A great place near the sea where you can enjoy the seaview. Very cozy and charming!
Nice, tiny appartment which was clean and tidy, very close to the shopping strip and 10 min to get to the beach. We didn't meet salvatore, but his cousin who nicely explained everything and handed out the keys.

Brainerd man dies in shooting at his residence
Crow Wing County Deputy Scott Goddard of Breezy Point received a gunshot wound to the shoulder Wednesday, Aug. 14, during an incident at a residence south of Brainerd where one man died.
Donald Peter Johnson, 50, was fatally shot in the incident that occurred on Sleepy Hollow Road in St. Mathias Township.
Goddard, who was treated and released from the hospital, and Deputy Adam Kronstedt were placed on administrative leave after the shooting incident, which is policy.
Both deputies were doing well and, per policy, both will remain on leave until ready to return to work, according to a news release from Sheriff Todd Dahl.
According to the news release, at 12:49 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14, the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office received a call from a man requesting emergency service to his location.
The caller was unclear as to the nature of the emergency so deputies were dispatched to conduct a welfare check at the residence on Sleepy Hollow Road in St. Mathias Township.
Upon arrival, there was no answer at the residence. While still on the scene a single gunshot was heard coming from the woods just south of the residence. During a search of the wooded area, deputies were able to locate the subject — Johnson — in a tree stand.
Johnson was armed and threatened to shoot officers at the scene. Additional resources were deployed and negotiations started. After several hours, Johnson began retreating from his location and appeared ready to comply with the requests to surrender. However, he began to retreat back to the tree stand and began shooting, wounding Goddard.
Gunfire was returned and Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene. Goddard was taken to Essentia Health-Brainerd Medical Center and later released.
Johnson was transported to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office pending an autopsy.
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Baxter police, Baxter K9 Unit, Brainerd police, Minnesota State Patrol, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and North Ambulance. Members of the Crow Wing County Tactical Team were also on scene.
Further investigation by the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office and the BCA will continue.

I think sometimes we in the North Country forget there is more to do up here than just ski/snowboard/repeat. I know I did.
It's hard not to get caught up in the season, especially around a ski resort. The constant clack of bindings on staircases, the telltale trail of snow behind everyone's boots, the red cheeks and frozen eyelashes–all signs that the slopes are prime.
But there is more. Much more. And it took the winter-version of an old favorite to remind me.
Monday morning, blurry-eyed and head aching from Super Bowl festivities, I made my way to the mouth of Devil Track River just a hair norheasterly of Grand Marais.
There I met my good buddy Carl (of Grand Marais Fusion fame) for a little hiking action. It was an 'everybody's welcome' activity to get locals out and about for exercise, but apparently I was the only one in town that was feeling guilty about my Big Game Day consumption. The small turnout was just fine by me, as it lent itself to the quiet calm of the morning.
If it's not clear by now: I was about to hike a frozen river.
Was I a little nervous? Yes. Of course. First of all, it's me. Second of all, how many movies have you seen where a character walking on frozen water actually stays above said water?
But as I got a few strides into the trek, I got used to the hollow sounds of my footfalls, the gurgling of a flowing river beneath a sheet of ice–a sound both soothing and unsettling.
As I followed Carl up the river, he pointed out otter and beaver tracks, the prints of what might've been a big cat. We sidestepped gaping maws of open water. Places where dark currents flowed past daggers of ice like jagged fangs.
Over mounds of frozen rapids and around fallen logs, we trekked deeper and deeper into the canyons, feeling smaller and smaller as the walls of the chasm grew higher and higher. We came upon a waterfall whose cascades had seemingly been flash-frozen into a slope of yellow, translucent curdles of ice.
I didn't even realize its true height until I saw Carl's picture of me taking a picture of it.
Insignificant, was all that I could think of myself when I saw that picture. And I didn't mean it in the usual self-deprecating, writer-y way I usually do. On the contrary, it made me feel better. Suddenly all my worries, problems, and fears seemed so tiny. For the first time in a long time I wasn't the egotistical star of a reality show with a captive audience of one…I was just a speck of a guy staring up at a massive, raging rush of water that had been frozen into silence by nature.
What really struck me, as the hike continued, was the confluence of events that had brought me there. I realized we were following tracks–lots of'em–from snowshoes to cross-country skis. Carl and I weren't the first ones to brave this river, not by a long shot. I found myself asking him about others who had done this, or if he'd done it before. He said he hadn't for a couple years; that the conditions hadn't been right. Seems the river needed a just the right amount of pre-season rain so as not to be raging, but also not shallow. It needed a couple cold snaps and then some fresh powder and–most of all, in my opinion–a warm day to bring out adventurous trekkers to pack down a trail.
Confluence of events.
Round-trip, the hike ended up being about 4 miles, an hour in and an hour out. Too short, if you ask me. So I hiked a different river the next day. A familiar river that I hike many times a summer, but which now I could see from a different vantage because of those ultra-cold Minnesota elements that I often thought of as a hassle.
So, yeah, I think you should hike up a frozen river. Definitely. I mean, bring a friend, of course, and watch where you step. But also remember not to take your "setting" for granted. Lutsen and the surrounding towns are more than just a place to catch some primo powder, slam a PBR, and call it a day in the hot tub.
There are hidden gems around every bend.

Anyone ever tried to squeeze honeycomb with a sausage stuffer? I can't see why it won't work, especially if honey is warm, any thoughts, Thanks, Mike
Anyone ever tried to squeeze honeycomb with a sausage stuffer? I can't see why it won't work, especially if honey is warm, any thoughts, Thanks, Mike
Sounds like a good idea for crush and strain to me!
Coyote Creek Bees
Thats what I'm thinking, put some cheeze cloth in the botton to strain, get your honey warm and it should flow out the spout!
Its a shame i didn't think of that, or my press for making wine. Don't tell my wife , she used her hands
I hope you dedicate a new sausage stuffer to comb squeezing! I try to be real careful when I clean my verticle stuffer but I can always find a bit of missed grease on it somewhere. I do wonder how the honey would be affected if you picked up a bit of Listeria or E Coli from the stuffer?
Probably effected about as much as your next round of sausage. I'd have to say that even in the most cleanliest environments you will find bacteria growing. If you don't think this is true, then I would refrain from eating out anywhere except your own kitchen where atleast it's your bacteria.
Coyote Creek Bees
The difference being that the sausage I make with the stuffer is either brought to safe internal temperature or has been cured with Sodium Nitrite.
I find presses,grinders,hand squeezing to be unnecessary
I use a table fork,scrape half the thickness of the comb off each side and let drain through a filter/cloth/strainer at room temp.
"Wine is a constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy" Ben Franklin
Are your apple and maple sausage pork or beef?
We use pork on all sausages except summer sausage and pepper sticks, in those cases it's usually venison!
We haven't tried a chicken sausage yet either, or the seafood one, although that sounds really tasty!

I'm not that fanatical about the meatless sausages. I normally use hog casings (like everyone else) but I have also used the collagen cases to make seafood sausages. Not sure if that qualifies as "meatless" but there again I'm not that strict with religious traditions. If some one is concerned with the meat in sausage they can use fiberous casings or hog casings and simply remove them before eating.

Apartment is very nice, clean, well cared for. The hotel has a bathroom kitchen patio so you can feel at ease and comfortable. Located in the center of Barcelona, close to the subway and shopping. Monika is a very friendly host. I would recommend this location and the host ;)
Mieszkanie bardzo ładne, czyste, zadbane. Do dyspozycji gości jest łazienka kuchnia taras dzięki czemu można czuć się swobodnie i komfortowo. Położone w centrum Barcelony blisko stacji metra i sklepów. Monika jest bardzo przyjaznym gospodarzem. Polecam tą lokalizacje i tego gospodarza;)
we had a very nice stay here!It is very clean, the room itself is spacious, good wifi connection and a nice balcony!The metro is very close by, 5 minutes walk.In addition, a 15-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia.
This was our first stay in an accommodation like this. Upon our arrival we were shown our room, and got a tour through an appartment. Place was clean and ready for guests. Since our host Monika lives just accros the hall way, she made herself available to answer any questions, or give us some advises. Thank you very much Monika for your hospitality.
Corey & Radka
We only had one night to spent in Barcelona for our Europe Trip and our arrival and leaving the city is a bit out of the "normal" schedule.
Monica was so nice to accomodate us. She was very hospitable and showed us their place. She was very kind to help us where should we go to take our bus to the airport and let us stay a bit longer while we wait for the time of our flight.
The room and the apartment is well kept. The apartment is very well located and is near Sagrada Familia.
We have had a nice week in Barcelona - and we had booked a room in a private apartement, and shared kitchen, bathroom and balkon with 2 other guests. We had a 16 m3 big room, everything was clean and nice - so we are very satisfied with staing at Monica Lopez.
Everything was nice and clean! The location is central and the airport, the train goes directly to the clot. From there it is not far to walk. The roof terrace with a beautiful view is wonderful in good weather! Only the mattress was a little soft for our tastes and how the Spanish standard of living is the usual flat quite noisy! We would book it but there again.
Alles war schön und sauber! Die Lage ist zentral und vom Flughafen fährt die Bahn direkt bis Clot. Von dort ist es dann zu Fuß nicht mehr weit. Die Dachterasse ist mit schöner Aussicht bei gutem Wetter wunderbar!
Nur die Matratze war etwas zu weich für unseren Geschmack und wie vom spanischen Wohnstandard gewohnt ist die Wohnung recht hellhörig!
Wir würden es aber auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
Very nice place to stay. Monica is very nice and helpful. Good value for money.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Monica ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis.
Me and my boyfriend stayed for a week with Monica. It was great! The flat was very clean and tidy. It had everything we needed. It was situated it a lovely area and we really enjoyed our stay.
Very pleasant stay, superb location (10 min walk to Sagrada Familia, 5 min to metro station). Clean house. Everything was great.
Thanks Monica

Literature, unlike so many other media industries, is technically a meritocracy. But that won't stop book marketers, bloggers, critics, and the literary community at large from collectively slobbering over a pretty author. No, the literary rules changed ages ago. Books no longer need to be serious in order to be published; there are fewer and fewer venues available for reviews (rendering competition more intense with every passing catalogue season), and critics aren't doing their job unless they are merciless. Perhaps as a response to all of this, publishers have begun to count on their authors to do double-duty — to act as sex symbols as well.
The definition of beauty worship is still evolving, but if you thought phrases such as chick-lit or post-apocalyptic were annoying, wait until bloggers and reviewers start pegging authors as everything from "Lit Boys" (WASP-y Ivy League graduates with floppy hair who've written yet another coming-of-age book) to "literary wunderkinds" (they're changing the state of fiction as we know it, right here, right now, grab your inhalers!) to "literary ingénues" (so endearingly innocent they'll wrap you and your $24.95 hardcover book budget around their soft little finger). Armed with such superlatives, many of these writers go on to be inducted, from the first flush of their careers, into the postmodern canon of Hot Young Authors. Every published writer is bound to receive a varying amount of raves and pans, sure, but this group is special: each has been held to scrutiny not simply because of the hype their books have received, but because it has been suggested that their youth and appearance have given them an advantage that a less striking yet more gifted writer would never achieve.

[quote user="Ntegrase96"]True. I remember watching Cruz in the preseason of 2010 and thinking he was a pretty good find. Didn't know that he got injured.
Austin took more time to develop and relies much more on tact than Cruz who seems to have more moxie.
Which kind of goes hand and hand with why he wasn't a big factor before 2009. I mean, the guy was behind Terrell Owens, Terry Glenn, and reliable Patrick Crayton, and was much more of a project receiver-- like I said, he relies on what he's learned rather than what he possessed already. Austin, too suffered a lower leg injury in the presason of 2008, when he looked like he was becoming a monster.
I like Austin because he's a good story and a Cowboy, so I'll stick up for him a little with 'reproducing his 2009 season'--
Miles Austin's game relies on Tony Romo. Their timing and rapport is what makes Austin dangerous. And in 2010, Austin had 3 140+ yard games before Romo went down for the season in the 6th game of the season. In 2011, Austin had injury problems, but had a strong showing early against two great defensive teams in NYJ and SF. (233 yards and 4 TDs)... then the hamstring issues started late against San Fran in week 2.
I really don't doubt that Austin can replicate his 2009 season. He and Romo just need to be healthy to do it.
And as far as the dancing goes, Austin's almost dunk, and circle around the FG post was much better than anything Cruz has ever done... not really, but that's all I got.[/quote]
Don't get me wrong. I think Miles is a very dangerous receiver. (I fear him more than Dez, truth be told).
But your question concerned comparing a different season for each player, and I believe Cruz comes out a bit ahead. We'll see how their careers pan out. Two very good-to-great receivers, in a wide receiver-rich division.

Thank you for the comments on the photography. I've been at it for a very long time.
Yes, it seems we are dealing with a subject that has been very easy to overlook; the purity of RiO.
I have you and Min to thank for this revelation.
I had a similar experience with RiO going birds-egg speckled. See attached
Interesting to note that the normally white tin was colored dark ivory overall in addition to the dark crystal clusters.
The iron and tin were used in a high-calcium mat formula.
I'm not sure if the result is from the quality of iron or the combination of iron and calcium.
Ball milling will take care of the speckles. Min

Tracking Memory Use On the IBMs
[ Thanks to Jeff McAllister. ]
The amount of memory a job needs is often a more important consideration than CPU performance. Fortunately there are several ways to track a job's memory use on the IBM machines.
One tool all IBM users should be familiar with is ARSC's "llmap" utility, recently rewritten, and improved, by Shawn Houston.
Among the many useful things llmap summarizes is "minMB" and "maxMB", the minimum and maximum memory use, by node. In the following sample output, job J run by user jimjoe is running on 25 nodes. The total memory per node claimed by his job ranges from 3946 to 4043 MB. About 10 GB remains available on each node. Thus, if this were an MPI job, each processor could comfortably increase its memory usage by 1 GB.
iceberg1 627% llmap RUNNING JOBS: jid uname class usage #n ld minMB maxMB A 13720 bigbob single shared 1 8.4 6323 6323 B 13747 bigbob single shared 1 8 7031 7031 C 13845 bigbob single shared 1 8 7513 7513 D 13908 honey standard shared 6 8.7 7475 7651 E 13924 punkin standard not_shared 4 8.1 4932 4967 F 13926 punkin standard not_shared 4 8.2 3490 3552 G 13937 honey standard shared 6 8.2 7524 8553 H 13938 slim standard shared 4 8 5185 5216 I 13939 slim standard shared 4 8.2 5169 5522 J 13940 jimjoe standard shared 25 6.8 3946 4043 K 13941 jimjoe standard shared 9 0 2210 2418 L 13942 jimjoe standard shared 9 0 2100 2739 [ ... output truncated. See the next issue for more on llmap ... ]
For assessing memory usage, llmap is an excellent, quick start. However, it uses data obtained from LoadLeveler, which is not tied very closely to what's happening on the nodes. Thus, llmap can't provide the greatest accuracy.
A better estimate can be obtained from IBM's tool, "hpmcount." (See Newsletters Newsletter 281 and Newsletter 251 for more info on this utility.)
For single-processor codes, the following command will run hpmcount against your executable:
hpmcount ./a.out
For MPI codes, use this command:
poe hpmcount ./a.out -procs N
In a LoadLeveler script the number of processors is already known to POE, so the -procs argument is unnecessary.
When run on multiple processors, each creates its own hpmcount output. Setting the "MP_STDOUTMODE" environment variable to "ordered" ensures that the outputs appear in order instead of interlaced, as they appear when several processors try to write simultaneously. The following commands will produce ordered hpmcount output from a loadleveler job:
setenv MP_STDOUTMODE ordered poe hpmcount ./a.out
Alternately, each process can output to a separate file (see Newsletter 281 ).
The hpmcount utility outputs an astounding variety of performance-related counters and metrics. For the purpose of this article, we're only interested in one: memory usage (by processor). This value is reported as "Maximum resident set size."
In the example below, I've run a code known to use about 1.3 GB total across 8 processors on a single node:
b1n1 315% cat Output grep 'Maximum resident set size' Maximum resident set size : 156912 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 159736 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 161364 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 161364 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 161372 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 161368 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 162668 Kbytes Maximum resident set size : 162664 Kbytes
Using this method to reconstruct activity across several nodes is slightly more complicated. In theory, if you set MP_STDOUTMODE, the hpmcount output will be written in the order assigned by LoadLeveler, which is printed by this command,
llq -l jobidunder the 'Task' section.
Here is the task numbering scheme for a 2-node, 2 tasks/node job:
Task ---- Num Task Inst: 4 Task Instance: b7n1:0:(2474,MPI,US,1M) Task Instance: b7n1:1:(2472,MPI,US,1M) Task Instance: b7n4:2:(2476,MPI,US,1M) Task Instance: b7n4:3:(2472,MPI,US,1M)
Of course if memory use is fairly constant just multiplying an eyeballed average by the number of processors will be a close enough estimate.
Memory Limits on the IBMs
[ Another thanks to Jeff.]
As a quick reminder, there are two barriers to using the full memory of the IBM machines. You must deal with both :
The "data" shell user limit.
Increase this limit with the correct command for your shell:
[csh/tcsh]: limit data unlimited [sh/ksh]: ulimit -dS unlimited (ksh/sh)
The executable file's data address space limit.
Increase this limit in one of the following two ways:
- Compile with either of the compiler options: -bmaxdata:2000000000 or -q64
- Use the ldedit command to alter the limit on an existing executable file, as shown here:
ldedit -bmaxdata:2000000000' <<NAME OF EXECUTABLE>>
Note, the above limits apply to codes using primarily dynamic/allocated memory. If arrays are declared with "hard-coded" sizes, the stack limits should be adjusted instead.
Applications running into any of these limits will appear to be out of memory, even if plenty of physical memory actually remains available on the nodes.
If you're having trouble getting adequate memory for your job, contact ARSC consulting for assistance.
Debugging a Program Started by aprun on the Cray X1
[ Thanks to Ed Kornkven of ARSC! ]
TotalView is a well-known debugger made by Etnus and available on Klondike, ARSC's Cray X1. It is a full-featured debugger, with both a GUI-oriented mode and a command-oriented mode. The former is selected by entering the command "totalview", while the command-line interface is executed by the "totalviewcli" command.
TotalView documentation includes a reference manual and user guide, both accessible from the CrayDocs web pages, as well as man pages available on Klondike via "man totalview" or "man totalviewcli".
Hidden in those man pages is a trick for debugging a program started by aprun. The basic idea is to pause the executing program long enough to allow for starting a TotalView session and connecting to the aprun'd process. To do this, we will use two windows -- one for the aprun command and the second for the totalviewcli command (assuming we want to use the command-line interface of TotalView):Window 1:
1a. Using the command appropriate for your shell, set the SMA_TOTALVIEW environment variable to cause the zero-ranked process to pause for 30 seconds after startup. (The ">" symbol below is the shell prompt.)
For csh-like shells: > setenv SMA_TOTALVIEW "0,30 aprun ./a.out" For ksh-like shells: > export SMA_TOTALVIEW="0,30 aprun ./a.out"
1b. Run the program > aprun -n 2 ./a.out
Upon issuing these two commands, instructions will be displayed showing what to type in the other window in order to start TotalView. Type "totalviewcli" instead of "totalview" for the command-line interface.Window 2:
2a. Run TotalView as prompted in Window 1. > totalviewcli -pid <pid from Window 1> ./a.out
2b. Continue execution with the TotalView "continue" command. The "d1.<>" is the TotalView prompt and indicates that the debugger is currently "focused" on process 1 (and thread 1).
d1.<> dcontWindow 1:
1c. If your program requires input from the terminal on startup, the prompt for it will appear in this window. Enter the input here.
If the program crashes, you can examine it using TotalView in the other window.Window 2:
2c. To get a stack trace of where the program crashed, enter d1.<> dwhere -a
The "-a" means to show the parameters as well as the functions on the call stack.
2d. To change "focus" to another process or thread, e.g. to see the stack trace of another thread, use the "dfocus" command:d1 <> dfocus 2.1 d2.1 <> dwhere -a
These two commands will display the stack trace of thread 1 in process 2. We could have simply said "dfocus 2" since process 2 has only one thread in this example.
If any readers have any more tips for debugging on the X1, please share them!
Betty Studebaker Retirement
Most anyone who's visited ARSC's offices has met our office manager, Betty Studebaker. Since it's inception, 11 years ago, Betty has helped keep ARSC running in more ways than most of us can imagine. Prior to starting at ARSC, she worked for 17 years at University of Alaska Computer Network.
Among her accomplishments, Betty won an NFS grant in 2003 to establish an HPC internship program that draws students annually from around the country. The 13 interns for 2004 are already at ARSC.
Betty's final day at UAF was today. Local folks will wish her a happy retirement at a going-away picnic, tomorrow. Others can reach her at: email@example.com.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ How can I find out what this means? ftn-6205 ftn: VECTOR File = potnl1temp.F, Line = 392 A loop starting at line 392 was vectorized with a single vector iteration. ftn-6003 ftn: SCALAR File = potnl1temp.F, Line = 393 A loop starting at line 393 was collapsed into the loop starting at line 392. (This was output by Cray ftn on my code, when I gave ftn the "-rm" option, for loopmark listings.) # # Thanks to Brad Chamberlain. # For a quick start at understanding them, try: explain ftn-6205 explain ftn-6003 from an X1 command line. # # Editor's note: # Cray users should keep an eye open for "explain" codes. They're offered by many tools, not just ftn. For the curious, here're the "explanations" for the above: klondike% explain ftn-6205 VECTOR: A loop starting at line %s was vectorized with a single vector iteration. Also known as a short vector loop, a loop with a single vector iteration is one in which the code to initialize the loop counter at the top of the loop and the code to test the loop counter at the bottom of the loop are eliminated, because it is known at compile time that only one iteration through the loop needs to be executed. This is true when there is a iteration count known at compile time to be less than or equal to the maximum vector length of the target machine. For example, the following would cause a short vector loop to be generated: DO I = 1,20 A(I) = B(I) ENDDO klondike% explain ftn-6003 OPT_INFO: A loop starting at line %s was collapsed into the loop starting at line num. The optimizer was able to replace a nest of two or more loops with a single loop. The collapse eliminates some loop overhead, improving the overall performance of scalar and vector loops, and can greatly increase the speed of some vector loops by allowing greater vector lengths to be used. A simple example of a collapsable loop nest: DO I = 1,30 DO J = 1,20 A(I,J) = B(I,J) ENDDO ENDDO Q: How can I determine which shell I'm using? Nothing seems to work! Nothing!

Both queens are new this summer and seem to be doing well. I hate to have to kill one of the queens, but I dont think I have a choice. Is it too late here in northeast Ohio to do a combine? Or has anyone had success overwintering a single 8 frame deep? I could also stack these between two very strong 2 deep hives. Any suggestions? These are Carniolan/mutts.

HELENA - Governor Brian Schweitzer and Superintendent Denise Juneau have submitted the state's Race to the Top application and announced that a winning application could bring up to $74 million in federal funds for Montana schools. More than 700 local schools have committed to partner with the state, representing 94% of Montana's K-12 students. The application has also been signed by Board of Public Education Chair Patty Myers.
"This proposal emphasizes what is needed in a 21st century workforce," said Governor Schweitzer. "We have proposed historic investments in math and science education to position Montana for the jobs of tomorrow. We affirm our commitment to distance learning and dual enrollment to make sure all Montanans, no matter where they choose to live or how old they are, have access to college and workforce training."
"Montana's plan will allow schools to implement innovative programs to reach every student," said Superintendent Juneau. "It demonstrates the education community's commitment to improving education for all of our students."
Montana's application details the statewide plan – strongly supported by 344 local school districts representing more than 134,000 of Montana's public school students – to implement the strategies, innovations, and reforms necessary to fulfill Race to the Top requirements as laid out in the 'Montana Plan." The state will partner with local education agencies to strategically build upon on current education reform efforts that:
(1) refine and align Montana's rigorous state standards;
(2) provide new supports for teachers and principals to improve effectiveness;
(3) enhance local data systems and coordinating those with state data systems; and
(4) transform persistently lowest performing schools.
On July 24, 2009, President Obama and U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced federal eligibility and competitiveness requirements for states to compete for $4.35 billion in Race to the Top funding, the single largest pool of discretionary funding for education reform in U.S. history. State applications for securing a portion of the $4.35 billion education funding available nationally were due to the federal government by June 1, 2010.

Its odd to say he left us razor thin and then say he got lucky with locklear - why lucky? How bout he scouted well and knew he had a nice potential backup or swing who proved to be starter quality. Were we thin and perhaps less talented in the trench this year - yes, but every team EVERY TEAM has their weakness. Tough rolling with it in the trench and eli saves a ton of sacks with quick reads but yeah we were lacking a bit for sure. Lets see how he cleans it up.
Who to move and who to stick with:
Diehl - Love the guys durablility and loyalty but we all know he's a swinging gate now.
Baas - Not great but ok - hasn't really lives up to contract - does he go? doubtful - cordle hasn't shown much.
Boothe - FA, nice find - good player not special at all.
Snee - still a nice guard but seems to be declining.
Beatty - FA and i think he's a good one - would like him back.
Mosley off ir may get a chance - Brewer was awful in preseason but who knows if he has developed more, mccants is a huge project as is adams - as is capers. maybe time to go early on a guard or center or RT.

No one remembers who came in second.
I agree - - - after Locklear, the backup OL this year were garbage. Luckily, we didn't need to rely on them.
i find it amusing you guys are hammering JR for being thin at the OL spot but when he did find a good backup that was 'luck'.. you guys are never happy.. if we would have offloaded all our cap space and money on 2 or 3 more replacements and never used them.. then this thread would have been about how JR sucks because he wasted all the organization's money on a bunch of OL that weren't needed..
we had a small amount of OL.. we didn't need them.. this provided cap space and money for other positions.. i cant see this as any other thing as a WIN for JR.. luck.. prayer.. devine intervention.. whatever you want.. but JR made it happened and it work.. give the man his due..
