With NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledging that owners could vote on a proposal to expand the regular season at their next round of meetings in May, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said through a spokesperson that the union hopes to engage in talks before a vote is taken.
"Mr. Smith has a basic philosophy when it comes to these issues," said George Atalllah of Qorvis Communications, according to Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal. "He'd like the league and the owners to consider the players as equal business partners when making any decision, particularly when it comes to a decision like extending the season. Mr. Smith is confident that all parties can work collaboratively on this issue and all other items so that everyone involved can benefit."
Setting aside for now the somewhat bizarre reality that Smith has hired an outside entity to serve as his spokesperson when there are folks on the union payroll who serve that function (then again, they possibly won't be for much longer), the statement represents either a shrewd effort by Smith to make the expanded season a subject of bargaining separate and apart from the Collective Bargaining Agreement or a fundamental misunderstanding on Smith's part regarding the concept of collective bargaining.
The NFL can't unilaterally impose a fundamental change in the work conditions like an expanded regular season without bargaining. So even if the owners vote to add games to the season, the vote won't be binding on the players.
For now, we'll give Smith the benefit of the doubt regarding this fairly basic concept of labor law (notwithstanding the fact that he has no labor law experience), and we'll assume that Smith is hoping that bargaining as to the expansion of the season won't be engulfed by the league's broader effort to foist a litany of new terms down the union's throat in exchange for not changing the current formula that gives the players 59 cents of every dollar earned.
Even if that's Smith's goal, it probably won't work. The league won't want to bargain over the expansion of the season in a vacuum; the league will want to make this part and parcel of the CBA talks, with the hopes that, if the league relents on its vow to reduce the players' current take, the union will make all sorts of other concessions.
Smith Wants Talks With League Before Vote On Expanded Season
With NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledging that owners could vote on a proposal to expand the regular season at their next round of meetings in May, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said through a spokesperson that the union hopes to engage in talks before a vote is taken.

Labor law is not my area of legal expertise…so I would be curious whether there could be an 18 game regular season, without the player's consent, for any season after the current CBA has expired and a new CBA is not in place.
4thFloor says: Mar 25, 2009 5:21 PM
Why didn't you just throw your name into the NFLPA President fray buddy, since you seem to be the smartest lawyer/NFL guru around……
NYJetsFan says: Mar 25, 2009 5:23 PM
I'd surmise that Smith understands that dialoguing early on the subject (before owners make up their mind without input from the union/players) can be very beneficial to the process and time line. Otherwise, the sides get together with a "NFL position" and an "Union position" and battle it out. If the Union communicates any questions / issues upfront, the owners will have an opportunity to discuss and address them in crafting their proposal.
Just because Smith's approach isn't the way it has always been done, doesn't mean it is wrong or that he doesn't know what he is doing.
inmymind says: Mar 25, 2009 5:32 PM
Smith is going to be a total tool isn't he? He seems the type to try to put his face in the media, puff out his chest and do what is in the best interest of him, not the players every opportunity he gets.

After playing a half of a tough physical NFL season the league wants these guys to turn around on 4 days rest and play a Thursday Night game.
Play 16 Thursday Night games. Give each team their regular bye and another bye before their Thursday Night Game. The participating teams on Thursday Night would then be off the following Sunday (in essence the Thursday Night game would have been the game they would've played on Sunday). A bye before the Thursday Night game takes away the advantage for the home team of not having to travel on 4 days rest.
This would expand the regular season by another game, 18 weeks instead of 17. No extra wear and tear for the players. And the NFL could sell the Thursday Night package to TNT, ABC, or another station and increase their revenuer to boot.

After playing a tough physical first half of a season, the league wants the players to turn around and play on 4 days rest for Thursday Night games in the 2nd half of the season.
Play 16 Thursday Night games (32 teams equals 16 games). Give each team their regular bye week and another bye before their Thursday Night game. The bye would take away the advantage the home team has by not having to travel on 4 days rest.
This expands the regular season from 17 weeks to 18 weeks, and no extra playing time for the players. The NFL could also sell the Thursday Night package to TNT, ABC, or another station and increase their revenue to boot.

"The NFL can't unilaterally impose a fundamental change in the work conditions like an expanded regular season without bargaining. So even if the owners vote to add games to the season, the vote won't be binding on the players."
Are you sure about that? Why can't the Owners say something like:
"We currently have a 24 game season (4 Pre-Season, 16 Regular Season and 4 Post Season).
Currently, only 20 of those games count toward a teams record but going forward, 22 of those games will count and only 2 will be exempt from the final record."
Do the players get paid the same amount of money for pre-season as they do regular season games? If so then what gives them the ability to refuse to play in those games?
If they don't get the same game check then that's different.
stboyd says: Mar 25, 2009 6:40 PM
Seems to me that Goodell is not looking at the labor issue. He is making an attempt to gain public sentiment for the owners side of the up and coming labor negotiations/dispute.
Every season ticket holder would love to see more regular season and less pre-season games. If the owners champion this cause, and the union nixes it, the public perception could be that the greedy players are cheating the fans.(or at least that's what the owners hope it will be). I think it is a smart play by Goodell.
empty13 says: Mar 25, 2009 6:50 PM
he will have plenty of chances to screw up at the actual talks.
warpaint88 says: Mar 25, 2009 7:30 PM
I really hope they keep it at 16 games.. I feel like it's pretty perfect where it's at right now. Players already start wearing down toward the end of the season, so extending it 2 games would kinda suck.
empty13 says: Mar 25, 2009 8:17 PM
Demaurice looks like he was an owners' psyop
I agree with mc
Make them all play a thursday game
illspaz says: Mar 25, 2009 8:25 PM
So when Adrian Peterson rushes for 2,200 yards in a few years, in 18 games, everyone will have to put an asterisk next to it and call Erik Dickerson's 2,105 the "Pre-Goodell Era" record.
What's wrong with just cutting 2 preseason games? Is adding games to the regular season really "for the fans" or is it to make the NFL more money and give Goodell a legacy?
SkinsFan says: Mar 25, 2009 10:11 PM
the owners would never just cut 2 preaseaon games because they are huge money makers for the owners! everybody agrees that the pre-season needs to be shortened, but the owners arent going to give up an exta revenue generating home game. they will however be willing to exchange it for another home game that counts towards the standings.
the owners can do anything they want once the current CBA expires. the CBA is a loabor contract agreed to by the owners and players. when the contract expires there is nothing binding either side to any of the provisions in the expired contract. but obviously it would be an issue when / if they ever negotiated a new CBA
SkinsFan says: Mar 25, 2009 10:21 PM
Strategically speaking I understand why Smith wants to get in and start discussions this as well as other issues related to the CBA. Afterall, he wants to get a new CBA negotiated before the current one expires. However, I believe the owners are going to use this against him (and the NFLPA). They will continue to strategically line up all their ducks in a row and present the NFLPA with their list of demands for a new CBA at the eleventh hour, and they either take it or leave it (they will leave them as little time as possible to negotiate anything). I originally thought that a lockout was inevitable, but I am starting to there is a slim chance it can be avoided. Either way I still believe the owners will come out way ahead on these negotiations. The players don't want to be locked out and I am really starting to think they don't really want to see that uncapped season either. (i know it sounds bizarre but there are a lot of negatives to players that will be associated with that uncapped season)
moonbeam says: Mar 26, 2009 8:40 AM
"mr smith has a basic philosophy when it comes to these matters"
that's like saying,it's an old family tradition for the last four years.
smith has never been in the football game and now he has a tried and true theory of managment?give me a break.
this guy has empty suit written all over him.
the fact that the union dismissed cornwell says everything,the union deserves what it gets.

Ollie Cakes
The Ollie Cakes started from a dream for over 20 years. The Ollie's Cakes began operations in Miami (Florida), directed the cakes and pastries. Were over 12 years of dedication to the world of sugar, fashioning cakes, supplying raw materials and accessories and teaching courses. All their cakes are amazing. My favorite cake is the 2 tier Wedding cake with the beautiful elegant looking orange flowers on the first layer and the white flowers starting on top and draping itself down the cake. Beautiful cake.
If you want to see more of their creative cakes visit their Facebook page or website. I also like the 3 tier Wedding cake with the blue flowers. My cousin would love to have the 15th Birthday cake for his birthday. I love cupcakes especially with chocolate icing. Keep baking and have fun.

Bindings for Ride Bigfoot
Hello everyone. I thought I could have get some information from here, the snowboard enthusiasts' forum. My problem is that I can't find bindings to fit my US size 18 Ride BigFoot boots. I searched the forum a bit, and some random comments suggested Ride Revolts. Is there any other options? I could get those Ride Revolt's (11/12) pretty cheap, about 140 (~185 dollars).
Thanks for your comments in advance.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0072470356, Spiral-bound)The I-Series Applications textbooks strongly emphasize that students learn and master applications skills by being actively engaged- by doing. These texts have been written with clear, error-free, and unambiguous steps to accomplish tasks that lead to a finished document, worksheet or database table. The authors made the decision that teaching "how" to accomplish some task is not enough for complete understanding and mastery. Prior to introducing steps, the authors discuss why the steps students are about to experience are important and what role the steps play in the overall plan for creating a document, workbook or database.

I also just upgraded to Windows Vista and although I really like the 3D desktop, there are some features I'd just like to turn off. How can I do that? Please help!
Here's WorldStart to the rescue again! I've heard so many varying views about the new operating system of Windows Vista that it's not even funny anymore. Some people hate it, some people love it and others just ride along in the middle. Yes, Vista comes with a lot of brand new features and although it would be in Microsoft's best interest if everyone fell head over heels in love with them, but that's just not very realistic.
So, if you want to change your Vista computer around a little, have at it! Now, as the person who asked today's question stated, one of the new features in Vista is the 3D desktop. And while it's cool to look at sometimes, it can also be a little overwhelming. The 3D desktop has to do with Vista's appearance and performance and all the other Windows versions allowed you to make some changes within those realms, so why would Vista be any different? Come along with me as we make your Vista desktop all that you want it to be!
First, right click on the Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties. From there, click on the Advanced System Settings link that is located off to the left side of the dialogue box. Once you click that, you will be asked if you're sure you want to continue on (since they're advanced settings and all). Just click Continue and go on. Next, choose the Advanced tab and then hit the Settings button. From there, you want to be under the Visual Effects tab.
Once you're there, you will see three options at the top of the window. They are: "Let Windows choose," "Adjust for best appearance," "Adjust for best performance" and "Custom." Below those options, you will see a list of settings. The list is pretty long, so it may take you awhile to scroll through them all. As you look through them, you may want to start picking and choosing the ones you want to keep on your computer. Think about each one and picture in your mind what it would do to your PC. Here are some of the settings you have to choose from:
- Animate controls and elements inside windows
- Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
- Enable desktop composition
- Fade or slide menus into view
- Fade out menu items after clicking
- Show shadows under menus
- Show shadows under mouse pointer
- Slide taskbar buttons
- Smooth scroll list boxes
Okay, I think you get the picture. There's so much to choose from. Alright, now, let's go over a couple of the options I mentioned above again. If you click on the first one (Let Windows choose), the Windows operating system will choose what it thinks are the best choices for your computer. Now, this may be a good choice, but it still may leave you wanting more (or less) from your desktop experience.
On the other hand, if you click on the Custom choice, you can make your own decisions. You can just check or uncheck certain settings and everything will come out just the way you want it. I think this is the best option for anyone who likes to do things on their own. That's why I told you to really pay attention to the options in the list as you're reading through them. If you picture in your mind what a certain setting will do to your computer, you'll have a better reason for choosing what you choose.
When you're all done customizing your 3D desktop, just click the OK button and they will all be saved. You can then go and test your new settings out. See how everything changed? Do you like it? Not so sure? Either way, you now know how easy it is to change these settings and you can go back time and time again until you have everything set perfectly for your Vista experience. Have fun!
~ Erin

Feds Using Banks To Target Gun Stores
Unable to enact its gun control agenda through Congress, the Obama Administration appears to be using the regulatory power of the federal government to crack down on gun sales. Since 2011, the FDIC has increased enforcement actions against banks that do business with so-called "high risk" industries. Those industries include businesses that sell porn, drug paraphernalia, and now gun dealers as well. "This may be a way for the administration to implement their policy that they haven't been able to do on a legislative front, so they're looking at the regulatory front," says John Heasley, president of the Texas Bankers Association.
In addition to the FDIC crackdown, the Justice Department has launched Operation Choke Point, aimed at banks and credit card companies that process transactions for "fraudulent merchants who harm consumers," according to the DOJ. But the crackdown has also caused a chilling effect on banks doing business with gun retailers, even those who are legit. Patrick Woods from Spring Guns & Ammo tells KTRH that gun shops have fewer options to process credit card transactions. "Really, it limits the ability you have to run a viable business if you can't get competitive credit card rates," he tells KTRH.
Woods sees this as just the latest in a series of anti-Second Amendment moves by the Obama Administration, including government agencies buying up ammunition and the EPA cracking down on gun ranges. "It seems like it's coming from all angles," he says. "We are having more and more difficulty operating a viable business, and we consider ourselves to be standup, American businessmen."
Heasley says the banking crackdown hasn't extended to Texas, and is unlikely to do so. "From the Texas perspective, we're a pretty pro-gun state. And I think you'll see a lot of pushback from customers or business owners if it's applied here."

355 MAV Furnace
I have a Bryant 355 MAV furnace & is is throeing Error code 33 Limit or flame roll out switch is open. What do I need to do to fix the problem?
Roll out switches trip when the heat exchanger has a crack or the flue is plugged up. Heat exchanger inspection is beyond most home owners ability. You can make sure the flue is clear though simply by looking through it.
Limits trip because it has gotten too hot from lack of air flow. Most common causes are dirty filters of a failed blower motor.
Where is the flue located at? Any other options you can think of?
start with easiest ... by replacing the air filter..it may be plugged up with dust etc. Also could have dirty A Coil if there is Air Conditioning..The A Coil is in the supply air plenum ...usually above furnace.
The flue is the pipe coming out of the top of the furnace and isn't that easy to see sometimes. If gas fired then niot likely blocked however chimney could be blocked by birds nest or dead birds etc. Can check by removing "clean out at base and using a mirror or flashlight to see if any signs of blockage
Why would the fan run all they time also?
which fan..I'll assume you mean the induced draft fan on the front of the unit..it will run in start up mode waiting for the air switch to prove air flow prior to pilot and main ignition..but I don't think it will run indefinitely
check air proving switch by removing sensing line and blowing/sucking on line ...should hear clicking of switch..also clean out orifices where the line connects to fan and switch..use extended paper clip or similar to clean out..let us know what happens
Its the blower fan that wont shut off?
Call your local bryant dealer.You are describing what sounds like a plugged secondary heat exchanger, causing burner box to get hot and makes limit trip.The repair is replacement of secondary and is covered under a warranty program by carrier.
Also ,Im guessing you are using LP gas, and if so you should have primary and secondary HE replaced along with burners.
No I am using natural gas. The furnace was working fine till now. I even took the thermsitat off the wall & the blower motor to disperce the air is still running & it shows a fault code of 33. It wont even try to lite. Anything else I can also try?
burners are inclosed in a box.on outside of box on the right hand side is a limit with two red wires and a small button in middle.If u push button and it clicks, it has tripped do to too high temp in burner box.If furnace comes on and fires , look in sight glass and you will probable see flames not being pulled into heat exchanger properly and rolling out.If you see this and limit trips again, dont reset it because it is dangerous to keep resetting limit which defeats its purpose to tell u somethings not right.Call a dealer to correct problem.
Probably have a tripped high limit that isn't closing. Check it. When its tripped, the blower will run all the time.
doesn't a tripped hi limit close to energize the fan? Then open to stop the fan once the heat exchanger has cooled off, therefore wouldn't that be a hi limit that isn't opening/is stuck closed? AND if so does that also prevent start up therefore, there is another set of contacts that open and cut off the limit/start up circuit? Therefore it is a hi limit tat won't close. I think I just answered my own question but, hopefully this helps the OP,
First part of fix is to replace the Hi Limit.
No, a high limit opens, so it can shut off the burner. has no direct control over the blower. The blower runs when the high limit opens because the board is programmed/wired to close the fan relay when the high limit opens.
Thanks. Beenthere.....that's what I said..almost...only, differently:laughing:

Content and structure
The MDes International Fashion Production Management course is situated in the School of Design and Technology and is a new course which has been developed to address the contemporary requirements of the fashion industry. A global economy has led to truly international supply chains within most product areas and this is especially true within the fashion industry. Sourcing, production and management of international supply chains has meant that fashion companies have needed to redevelop their skills in order to be successful. It has been recognised that more traditional fashion education courses are not fully addressing the skills needed within such an international management role. This course addresses the needs of the industry and offers you a dynamic and potentially highly successful future career path. Through live projects with industry and a supply chain management placement, your understanding and expected level of delivery will progress to the degree which is required within the work place. This will also bring a level of reality to all your work, a richer understanding of industry expectations and overall will present you as increasingly employable.
The integrated Masters award is a four year programme which allows you to develop your skills and knowledge through a series of units which begin at undergraduate level in the first year, progressively move through the second and half of the third year at this level, and then move into postgraduate level from the middle of the third year and conclude at the end of the fourth year, where on successful completion you will be a awarded a postgraduate Master of Design qualification. The integrated Master's programme affords you the opportunity to have a holistic educational experience, moving from undergraduate into postgraduate study all in one specialised subject field, without having to identify and apply for additional courses. The course is taught firstly in the School of Design and Technology, with an over-arching management structure to ensure quality and parity throughout the entire course.
MDes International Fashion Production Management is based at Mare Street in Hackney. The surrounding area boasts a number of east end art galleries, fashion and clothing enterprises, interesting shops and the famed Hackney Empire theatre. London Fields, with its excellent open air lido (heated in winter), and Victoria Park provide nearby green spaces, and the Regent's Canal runs through the area from east to west. A short bus ride will take you to the V & A's Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green and the Geffrye Museum in Kingsland Road.

Developing your skills
All our undergraduate courses are concerned with the development of your personal and professional skills. On your course you will evolve from learning basic skills in your discipline through to a position where you are an independent creative thinker capable of making an effective contribution to the relevant sector of the fashion industry. Personal and Professional Development (PPD) skills are embedded in all units on every course. Speaker programmes with contributions from alumni, members of industry and others are a part of many courses, as are work placement opportunities in industry. Where relevant, students have the chance to attend trade fairs, enter industry competitions, visit exhibitions and go on field trips and visits. The central position of our John Prince's Street site in the West End affords students easy access to all sectors of the fashion retail market. In addition, our position as a constituent College in the University of the Arts London means that our students have access to the wide range of activities and events that occur in all the Colleges and at the University's centre. Last but not least, being in London gives every student opportunities to explore and be inspired by the cultural, intellectual and social life of one of the great capital cities of the world.
Future Careers and Graduate Prospects
Graduates who wish to continue their education at a higher postgraduate level are encouraged to progress to suitable research options within the College, the University or elsewhere.
Many postgraduates prefer to seek employment as soon as they have completed their MDes. This is a relatively new course, so as yet we have no final year graduates, however we are confident that when we do our graduates will be highly employable within the global fashion industry.
LCF Careers
LCF Careers provides a comprehensive career management service supporting our students to become informed and self-reliant individuals able to plan and manage their own careers.

Course units
Year One
In the first term you will study two units.
Introduction to Study in Higher Education gives you an understanding of your personal and professional development at university, with three core purposes: to introduce you to the necessary learning skills for undergraduate study; to show you where you are situated within the College and the University; and to help you understand what you will learn on your course and how you will develop your skills.
The Concept to Product (Sourcing and Development) unit explores the international fashion supply chain and key stage management within the product lifecycle of taking a concept through to realising an actual product stock on the retail floor. You will explore case studies for this within the continually changing global fashion industry and have the opportunity to make your own suggestions and test learning-based theories around this subject area.
In the second term you will study two units.
Introduction to Cultural and Historical Studies introduces you to key concepts and ways of thinking about fashion and its context in society and culture. You will attend lectures, seminars and workshops, and do a significant amount of reading of academic texts in order to complete a formal academic essay for assessment. Completion of this unit will allow you to make an informed choice of subject for study in the second year Cultural and Historical Studies unit.
Product Technologies introduces you to the essential technical skills required for the development and production of fashion products. Through workshop demonstrations and practice you will learn about the materials and processes involved, together with the pattern cutting, construction methods, production techniques and prototyping skills that are necessary to become a successful product developer.
In the third term the Production Management unit introduces you to the management process for the development and production of fashion garments. You will explore fashion trend predictions, textile treatments, pattern cutting, Gerber technologies, fit, and sourcing and development for a 3D realisation of a directional fashion product for a specified market level.
Year Two
In the first term you will be able to study a Cultural and Historical Studies unit of your choice that will broaden or deepen your learning of areas relating to your interests in your chosen field. You will have the opportunity to participate in lectures, seminars and workshops with students from other courses within your School, and will read relevant academic texts and complete a formal academic essay for assessment.
Also in the first term, the Product Economics unit explores the detail of international production management through looking at areas such as realistic costing, legal issues, shipping, sustainability and ethics, and lead times. You will study international cultural awareness to understand how the business practices of different countries can affect aspects of the process. You will produce a product logistics report on a fashion product which takes into consideration the factors studied in the unit.
In the second term the Research Methods for Product Development unit provides an overview of the philosophy and practice of different modes of research. You will examine relevant marketing tools, customer markets, and business analysis in order to expand your research skills. This will enable you to choose the most appropriate research methods for any given project, thereby helping you to explore what research you need to do, how you will do it, and how you will manage and evaluate the process.
Also in the second term, the Product Futures unit gives you the opportunity to look at new and emerging technologies and their products. These often trigger the development of new fashion products, and you will be able to explore the potential for both redeveloping existing fashion products, and offering new and directional products for the consumer.
In the third term the Industry Practice unit develops your skills to date by exposing you to the reality of working within the fashion industry through a live project that is set and supported by a fashion industry partner. You will look at the partner company's current supply chain and production management strategies, and undertake research, analysis and experimentation to produce new and viable opportunities for that company. The industry partner will review your work at key stages, including your final presentation at the end of the project.
Year Three
For the whole of the first term and the first half of the second term you will undertake the Industry Challenge unit. This will involve you in an industry placement with a company that has global supply chain and production infrastructures. This will give you the opportunity to experience first-hand the reality of working day to day in a company, which may be a manufacturer, supplier or retailer. This will take place in the summer break and/or in the first half of the Autumn term. During your placement you will be exploring the company's global operations, understanding the systems and processes, making contacts and identifying future opportunities. When you return to college you will produce an evaluative dissertation of your findings which uses and references personal, industrial and academic research. From this research you will build and support case studies, and identify new opportunities for your placement company. You will conclude with a series of recommendations that will be beneficial to your host company.
In the second half of the second term and the third term you will move into the postgraduate phase of your degree and undertake the Global Contextual Studies unit. This gives you the opportunity to appreciate and draw upon the perspectives of other countries and cultures in order to fully understand and analyse the economic, technical, cultural, ethical and business issues that will impact on the future of the fashion industry. There will be a forum for debate around the relevant issues within the design, technical, cultural and communication industries. Where possible, visiting speakers from industry and leading researchers will be a feature of the programme.
Also in the second half of the second term and the third term you will undertake the MDes Proposal and Planning unit. Research methodologies will be further explored, and a series of workshops, presentations and case studies will support you in the development of your final project proposal. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences so far and decide on your focus of interest for your MDes.
Year Four
In the first term you undertake the Research and Development unit, which helps you to build upon your previous knowledge and experience to develop an innovative skills set. It is envisaged that many students will work at the boundaries between existing accepted disciplines, developing practical experimentation, management, innovation and/or technological development to create new ideas and possibilities to support projects. These will be of direct relevance to industry or education, or will lead on to further study. You will undertake in-depth background research to consolidate the knowledge, ideas, context and resources necessary to achieve the realisation of your project. You will be expected to self-direct your study and skills development, although formal interim reviews to assess your progress will be built into the unit, as will the final assessment review.
The MDes Final Project unit takes place over Term Two and Term Three. It is the culmination of four years of study that support your personal ideas and investigations, leading to the realisation of an original body of work. You will be guided and supported through your project by tutorials and peer and staff evaluation, and the project in its final negotiated format will be presented for assessment, together with an evaluative commentary on the development of the project. Your MDes final project realisation work will also build upon the collaborations and contacts that you have made to date through working with existing fashion retailers and their suppliers and manufacturers.

Description: Revolutionary War officer Nathan Hale, one of America's first spies, said, "Any kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary." A statue of Hale stands outside CIA headquarters, and the agency often cites his statement as one of its guiding principles. But who decides what is necessary for the public good, and is it really true that any kind of service is permissible for the public good? These questions are at the heart of James M. Olson's book, Fair Play: The Moral Dilemmas of Spying. Olson, a veteran of the CIA's clandestine service, takes readers inside the real world of intelligence to describe the difficult dilemmas that field officers face on an almost daily basis. Far from being a dry theoretical treatise, this fascinating book uses actual intelligence operations to illustrate how murky their moral choices can be. Readers will be surprised to learn that the CIA provides very little guidance on what is, or is not, permissible. Rather than empowering field officers, the author has found that this lack of guidelines actually hampers operations. Olson believes that U.S. intelligence officers need clearer moral guidelines to make correct, quick decisions. Significantly, he believes these guidelines should come from the American public, not from closed-door meetings inside the intelligence community. Fair Play will encourage a broad public debate about the proper moral limits on U.S. intelligence activities.

text: Just received a certificate from my GM card offering an additional $1500 towards a 2011 SRX. My lease on my 2009 CTS ends in October. The certificate is good till July 5th. Was going to wait and get a 2012 but should I pull the trigger on a leftover 2011 and get an extra $1500 off? Interesting changes announced for the 2012- especially the new engine. Should I wait for the 2012 or not? Also, thinking of getting the CTS again but would like more carrying capacity. Any advice? Thanks

Fixing a swollen steel entry door
My parents have a leaded glass entry door that over-expanded (the foam insulation inside the door over-expanded after installed and bellied out the door skin) sitting in their basement. I am going to confirm if the hinges and knob line up. If they do, I would love to replace our solid slab front door with this one. Any one have any ideas if and how this can be fixed so it can be used?
Please tell more, I have installed many doors over many years, what you say makes no sense to me.
Are you saying the door is now thicker then it should be?
What exactly expanded?
The expanding foam used for insulating the door (the core of the door) over-expanded and bellied out the door skin. So, it looks like someone pressed the skin outwards from the interior of the door. I understand this is common with dark painted doors that have a storm door added and get a large amount of direct sunlight in the summer.
it sounds like it was sitting near the furnace or some other source of heat.. based on the issue the door is toast. toss it
Bad Foam. Maybe you can get a new door out of it, but maybe dad already did? Isocyanurate foam is used on commercial low slope roofs and it is subject to a lot more heat up there than in a door, so the problem is probably poorly formulated foam.
How old is the door? Sounds like it should be covered under warranty if it is less than 10 years old.
The problem occurred while the door was hanging. Door has already been replaced under warranty and is currently just taking up space in the basement. Just looking to see if it can be fixed and reused.
Might look great on my garden shed.
I would not bother with it on my front door to the house.

The Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Advisory Committee to the S.C. Natural Resources Board will conduct a series of eight public meetings around the state in January and February to receive input on a proposed hatchery permit and a proposed game zone restructuring.
These proposals are part of the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) 2005 legislative agenda, and state Rep. William D. "Billy" Witherspoon of Horry County and chair of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee suggested the public meetings to gather input from constituents. For more information on the scheduled public meetings, call (803) 734-3886 in Columbia.
The proposed hatchery permit would cost $5.50, and be required of anglers harvesting striped bass, striped bass hybrids, smallmouth bass, brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. Populations of these species are maintained by stocking from DNR hatcheries. All revenues from the sale of this permit would support DNR hatcheries. Budget cuts have already forced the closure of two DNR hatcheries, and hatcheries operating now average 61 years of age.
The proposed game zone restructuring is an effort to streamline hunting regulations by consolidating game zones that currently have the same seasons for most game species. The proposal would reduce the number of game zones from 11 to six and does not include any calendar changes to deer or turkey seasons. This type of consolidation will simplify the hunting regulations and allow hunters more freedom to hunt different areas without wondering if seasons are the same. The proposal will also simplify the annual hunting "Rules & Regulations" booklet because repetitiveness found under the current format will be eliminated.
All of the public meetings begin at 7 p.m. DNR staff will be on hand to answer questions. Following is the schedule for public meetings to receive input on the proposed hatchery permit and proposed game zone restructuring:

Hello CCCR,
My 2007 STS has about 83K miles and I have already fixed or need to fix the following list of items. I'm thinking this is a bit ridiculous and I am hoping someone can make some recommendations.
Replaced power steering pump - $636 parts and labor - complete
Replaced water pump - $638 parts and labor - complete
Replaced front head lamp (after spending $100 on bulb that couldn't be put in) - $956 - complete however it did come with a 12 month warranty - although I know from experience it won't last more than 4-5 years before it fills up with water again & Ill have to buy another)
Recall Pinion Seal - Free (Thanks GM)
Yet to be fixed:
Replace other head lamp - $956 at dealer
Replace MRC Shocks - $3000 parts and labor at Belle Tire - and you expect us to replace these every 50K miles? at 3K a pop?
Chrome Rims leaking through the rim! - my understanding from the Belle Tire guys is that the chrome wheels basically rot out and allow air to leak out the bottom of the rim - $ Cost unknown
Tire Monitor System (completely useless IMHO) - $ Cost Unkown
And then the small items such as broken seat control panel, heated steering doesn't work and am expecting the timing chain to go out before it hits 100K. And this is the best car GM makes? I mean I can understand some maintenance costs for the premium brand, but this is a bit ridiculous; and approaches ludicrous.
Of course, shame on me for not knowing what it would take to maintain a Cadillac. My last Cady a 1996 STS was a much higher quality car; it only needed a transmission. I wish they made manufacturer's list part replacements costs at the time we buy the car - but then again Cadillac wouldn't like that would they.
Thoughts or comments?

With financial meltdowns all over the world, confidences shattered in the stock market because of some fraudulent swindlers, and to top it all, the menace of a flu pandemic still hovering, it is time for this year to end.
Yet many good things will be remembered for 2009 including the Grand Lodge's 10th anniversary celebrations, and there is much to look forward to. In fact, Chez Borivage is inaugurating a new winter menu, our brand new website will soon be online, and although we are still waiting for snow to fall as I write these lines, the winter season is expected to be a busy one.
Indeed, the first snowflakes remind us that the Grand Lodge is close to several ski resorts as well as many snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails. Le Grand Lodge is therefore the best choice to enjoy winter time.
Before heading to the slopes, you still need to organize your holiday celebrations. Along with our special holiday dinners, we have coaxed a very busy jolly fella all dressed in white and red, to join us for Christmas and help give our young V.I.P. guests a holiday they will remember forever. On the 31st, enjoy fireworks from your balcony as they light up the midnight sky above Lake Ouimet. There is still time to reserve your holiday suite at 1.800.567.6763.

Pour in the red wine, veal stock and bouquet garni (fresh herbs made up of thyme, rosemary, mint and coriander), then season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture boil until it reduces to 2 cups.
Wash the mushrooms and sauté with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Cook the onions in water with sugar and fine sea salt. Let it cook for 10 minutes or until they are well caramelized. Then add the julienne of smoked bacon.
Place the tenderloin in an ovenproof dish, brown it on all sides, cover it with Dijon Mustard and cook at 400 F for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the grease from the dish then add the sauce and bring to a boil with the fresh herbs. Let the herbs infuse the sauce until the desired taste and consistency.

please help me paraphrase
posted by Ayla .
"The Antartic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate,"[Jacques] Cousteau tole the camera. "The cold ocean water around Antartica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity."
We'll be glad to HELP you paraphrase. You start with your ideas and words -- and we'll be glad to work with you from there.
Secular arguments from finality are almost always combined with consideration about the fallibility of judicial institutions and doubt whether people who are accused of crimes are fully responsible agents.
Thanks to whoever can paraphrase this. It is in regards to the death penalty(my thesis)
Because of this fragility, it would seem obvious that of overarching importance
are Mali's stewardship of its land and the development of its land tenure system, with all
they imply for its social, legal and economic systems. In a very general sense and in
broad historical scope, the African conception of land tenure and private property was
that the land belonged not to an individual, but to a collective. It was received in trust
from a sacred deity, passed down from the village founder to the present-day village or
land chief, and held in trust for generations yet unborn. Man was simply a usufructuary.
That he could be the owner not only of the harvest produced by the land, but also of the
land itself was not African and was not Bambara, the major ethnic group in Mali.
The juvenile justice system was originally created to provide individualized rehabilitation to offenders of minor crimes such as truancy, shoplifting, and vandalism. But youth today are taking advantage of this lenient and outdated system and are committing violent crimes because they believe they will get off easy. In order to provide justice to victims and their families and to prevent more and more juveniles from committing violent crimes, the United States must hold criminals accountable—regardless of their age—and impose a tough punishment system. To that end, juveniles should sometimes be tried as adults
"The FDA receives pressure from lobbyists for pharmaceutical companies to push through the companies' own drugs or hold back approval of competitors' drugs."
Other predictors of procrastination include: task aversiveness, impulsiveness, distractibility, and how much a person is motivated to achieve. Not all delays can be considered procrastination; the key is that a person must believe it would be better to start working on given tasks immediately, but still not start.
"A good writer is one you can read without breaking a sweat. If you want a workout, you don't lift a book—you lift weights. Yet we're brainwashed to believe that the more brilliant the writer, the tougher the going."
"The truth is that the reader is always right. Chances are, if something you're reading doesn't make sense, it's not your fault—it's the writer's. And if something you write doesn't get your point across, it's probably not the reader's fault—it's yours. Too many readers are intimidated and humbled by what they can't understand, and in some cases that's precisely the effect the writer is after. But confusion is not complexity; it's just confusion. A venerable tradition, dating back to the ancient Greek orators, teaches that if you don't know what you're talking about, just ratchet up the level of difficulty and no one will ever know."
"Don't confuse simplicity, though, with simplemindedness. A good writer can express an extremely complicated idea clearly and make the job look effortless. But such simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve because to be clear in your writing you have to be clear in your thinking. This is why the simplest and clearest writing has the greatest power to delight, surprise, inform, and move the reader. You can't have this kind of shared understanding if writer and reader are in an adversary relationship." (pp. 195–196)

The problem with our imaginations is that they're held captive. They
tend to be reined in by our sphere of knowledge, tempered by that which
we have already experienced. But not always. Some people, somehow,
manage to cook up ideas that no one had thought of before. Steven
Spielberg comes to mind. And so does Tu Nguyen.
Tu Nguyen is a 23 year-old college student. His family, which emigrated
to the United States in 1989, owns and operates a Vietnamese restaurant
in, of all places, Omaha, Nebraska. The restaurant's chefs speak little
English. It's one thing for a Nebraska Cornhusker to order sauteed beef
with lemon grass and chili vermicelli, but if the chef doesn't get the
message to cook up a serving of Bun Bo Xao Xa Ot, well, dinner's going
to be a long time coming.
Fortunately, Nguyen let his imagination take flight; what he came up
with is fascinating. Using wireless Pocket PC technology and Microsoft's
.NET application-development framework (which is beside the point),
Nguyen single-handedly created something he dubbed iPODS (Intelligent
Pocket Order Delivery System).
It's a wireless application that lets a waiter take an order on a Pocket
PC in one language (presumably English) and have it translated into the
chef's native language. Now, when you order Com Tam Bi Cha Bo Nuong, you
can be sure it will arrive at your table as shredded pork with baked egg
and charbroiled beef served over broken rice, not as shredded pork with
baked egg and charbroiled pork served over broken rice (which is Com Tam
Bi Cha Thit Nuong).
For his imaginative use of .NET technology, Nguyen won the $25,000
worldwide grand prize at the Microsoft-sponsored Imagine Cup contest.
Second prize went to a team from India. Their entry integrates different
mobile devices to improve collaboration among health organizations. The
idea is to empower these organizations to provide mission-critical care
and treatment.
The winners retain all rights to their ideas. You can bet that Nguyen
will turn iPODS into a commercial product with other uses and additional
translation dictionaries. He's off and running; America truly is the
land of opportunity.
Being imaginative is hard. We all sell what we know, and we all push the
products likely to encounter the least sales resistance, even though
another, lesser-known solution may be a better fit. Vendors want you to
sell more of the same. We even raise the quotas on our sales staff,
pushing them toward the same end. And why not? We've all got a
for-profit business to run, after all.
Thinking different means making an investment in time and money to
breathe life into a solution we've probably all dismissed as just one
more crazy idea. Thinking different requires a certain amount of
daydreaming. Think Different. Yeah, it was Apple's slogan a couple of
years ago. Turns out they were right.
Perhaps Tu Nguyen thought his idea was crazy. And now that he's gained
worldwide attention from it, he just might use it to build an empire.
Certainly iPODS has broad application far beyond the restaurant
Think about something new and different that next time you and your
staff enjoy Bo Nhung Dam. Oh, it's fondue style sliced beef served with
vinaigrette sauce, rice paper and fresh vegetables.

HOUMA — A Dulac man already serving time for molesting a family member was convicted Thursday afternoon of raping another young relative.
Ernest Hazleton, 52, was found guilty of aggravated rape and incest for repeatedly forcing the female relative to have sex at his Shrimpers Row home when she 12 and 13 years old. The girl, whose name is being withheld because she's the victim of a sex crime, is now 16.
After two days of testimony, the jury took about 25 minutes to reach the guilty verdict. He faces a mandatory life sentence for aggravated rape.
Aggravated incest carries a minimum sentence of 25
years in this case.
In August 2008, Hazleton was sentenced to 15 years for molestation. He pleaded guilty to the charge, reduced from aggravated rape, in a plea deal with prosecutors. His latest charges stemmed from the sexual abuse of another relative that occurred prior to his first conviction.
During closing arguments, prosecutor Jason Dagate told jurors the level of detail in which the girl described the abuse proved the "disgusting acts of perversion" were true.
The girl said Hazleton asked her to dance to music so he could watch and threatened to not give her permission to leave the house unless she agreed to have sex with him.
The relative Hazleton was convicted of molesting, now 23, also testified. Both had similar stories of Hazleton telling them he'd rather them have sex with him than on "the street," Dagate said. Her identity is also being withheld by The Courier and Daily
"The similarities are astounding," he said.
Kerry Byrne, Hazleton's attorney, told jurors the 16-year-old "seemed to remember with great detail scintillating catch phrases," such as Hazleton's supposed remark about having sex on "the street."
He suggested the detail might have been shared by one relative to another.
The relative also described having sex with Hazleton in various parts of the home. Byrne argued the layout of the elevated home would make it difficult for Hazleton to hide such abuse.
"You mean to tell me that all this is going on and nobody notices?" he asked.
After the verdict was read, Byrne acknowledged the difficulty of defending an admitted child molester against aggravated-rape and incest charges.
"Having the victim of that testify, yes, that was difficult," he said of the 23-year-old.
Dagate credited the win to the work of the Child Advocacy Center, which counsels young crime victims and also interviews them as part of criminal investigations. The setting allows the children to talk freely about abuse, which aids in the
prosecution, he said.
Videos of interviews conducted at the center are shown in
"It's a room that's comfortable for children," he said.
Hazleton's sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 5 in District Judge George Larke's division in the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse annex.

One more question-- do you section your hair to smooth the products in, or just do the outisde of your hair and then the underside, or something else?
It sounds like a quicker way to apply products. I usually detangle in the shower, and then pretty much am detangling again as I am raking the product in.
ETA: I just looked at your album and I love your hair too! It looks so well-behaved and the curls are so uniform.

1989 YJ Wrangler Won't Start
Hi, I have a 1989 Jeep Wrangler YJ. It suddenly won't start. It's kind of a weird situation. I was driving it earlier, all over town. Looking for a couple of products. Finally found them and went to my cousins house in town. Spent some time there, and then as I was trying to go home, the engine wouldn't start. Here are the details of the engine.
It won't even turn over.
The fuel pump will come on, for a few seconds, but no starting.
The headlights are good and strong.
The battery connections are a bit corroded.
The battery itself is pretty much dead, within the red mark on the jeep.
The first thing I know I should try is to get rid of the the corrosion obviously. Anything else I should be watching out for? I imagine it could be as simple as the corrosion, but I'm betting it's probably something else maybe. Any suggestions?
Get a new battery, check the starter, spark plugs, and distributor.
Oh and make sure your battery connections are tight.
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to check the Jeep out today with my Uncle. It's almost 9am and he's about to be heading over here to pick me up. Unfortunately this all didn't happen at my house, so we have to drive into town to my cousins and check out a few things. Thanks for the reply.
yeah, i agree with nate. if you can get a new battery, bring it to your local auto zone or advance auto or something, and they can do a free diagnostic test on the alternator/charging system, and your original battery to see if a cell is bad or something. let us know how it goes
Just an update here. Got it fixed today. Here's all that happened. Went to where Jeep was located and cleaned off the connections. Tried jump starting it, and it didn't start. wouldn't turn over. Ended up getting a New battery, because the old one was over 6 years old. Yeah, it was a bad battery, but that wasn't all that was wrong with it. Ended up pull starting it and drove it home. Tested the starter at home, and it didn't look too good. Took it off and took it down to Advanced Discount Auto Parts, and got and tested the started. Nope, bad starter. Ended up buying a new starter to go with that new battery, and installed it. Once everything was installed, cleaned up a little, and fired it up. Fired up like a new Jeep. Basically, what I found out today is this, being a bad battery, trying to crank it, ended up frying the starter. So, got my Jeep running, and another $170 in the hole. Thanks for the tips. Was an interesting experience, seeing as how this was my first time doing a starter, or any major mechanic work lol.
