Hiring based on intangible elements
As you hire graduates for premium entry level positions at your organization, it's important to keep in mind quantifiable elements of candidate's professional and academic experience. For instance, level of performance at a past college internship or a glowing recommendation from a professor can help you understand an applicant's ambition and work ethic. Likewise, GPA and writing samples shed some light on the quality of work you can expect from a particular individual.
While these considerations are vital in selecting the ideal hires for your company, it's often the intangible elements that will help you make a final decision. This is especially true when you come up against two seemingly identical candidates and only have one available position – qualities like personality, attitude, charisma, personal responsibility and ability to improvise can point you toward the better of two great applicants. Though you should never hire based solely on these intangibles, they often indicate where someone will or won't fit and success in at your organization.
When considering such subjective traits, it's important that you have an idea of what the position demands of an employee. Failure to understand which intangible qualities are essential for a particular job is a surefire way to be led astray by personal biases.
For instance, a person with natural charisma and charm may have you gushing about how he or she is the next great talent at your organization, but these are not vital qualifications for a position as a computer engineer. Unless that natural charisma is balanced by vast technical knowledge, the candidate simply isn't right for the job. However, if that same person is applying for a career in sales or public relations, you can be sure that he or she will be great in that role.
Early in the hiring process for any position at your company, make sure you come up with a list of particular intangible traits that you believe an ideal candidate should have. Then, you'll know what is and isn't relevant to the position as you begin interviewing applicants. And above all, don't forget to balance these considerations with the most important tangible traits.

While reviewing the security camera footage from the night before, Officer Adam Herst discovers that JP Dubois was fucking around with another inmate. The angry cop threatens to send JP to the hole but when the frightened prisoner promises to do anything to avoid solitary confinement Herst has a better idea. He orders Dubois to strip out of his orange jumper and bend over his desk with his huge bubble-butt in the air. Herst forces JP to spit on his wooden nightstick and shoves it deep in the young stud's tight hole. The anal attention makes Herst's cock rock hard so he strips naked and shoves his thick dick down JP's throat. The dominant Herst shows JP no mercy, fucking his face until he gags then pushing him back on the desk to fuck his ass. Grabbing onto Dubois' thick uncut cock for leverage, Herst slams his dick deep inside the inmate's hole. He pummels JP's ass until both men work loads out of their huge horse-cocks.

We asked Backroom bad-boy Adam Herst if he'd like to return for another scene and he said yes, if we could find him a hot red head. Everyone knows that when you're looking for someone red-hot you go Blu! When we introduced Adam to Blu Kennedy we barely had time to yell 'action' before they were 69'ing and fucking each other!

Tall, handsome Rusty Stevens catches steamy Adam Herst relaxing on the sofa. Rusty strips out of his clothes to reveal a perfect swimmer's build with bulging pecs and abs. Adam gets on his knees and pulls out Rusty's fat cock which he sucks until he can't wait any longer and bends over to take it up the ass. Rusty fucks him down, then they switch places, giving Adam a change to work his huge cock deep inside Rusty's hole.

Now that would be the definition of Bookends!! We need a little nasty on this team.
sounds like he would be too much trouble.
It's probably take the risk and draft him.
Where are the draft lewan so we can move free to guard chants.
I'd probably take the chance if he's as good as they say he is. Gotta have a little nasty out there, then just hope he keeps it in check.
RTs with nasty demeanors have worked well in the past for the Cowboys (Erik Williams and Marc Columbo).
Don't like him.
He sounds a lot like Eric Williams and Williams is one of my all time favorite Cowboys...he is the guy that you want on your side in a fight and more than that, you DON'T want him on the other side of the fight
Watch the game tape, besides being a turd the dude holds like crazy. He will be a penalty machine in the pros.
Don't think this incident changes Lewan's stock much unless he bombs the interviews
I don't know the details about what happened, but I could care less when a big O-lineman gets into a fist fight. Our favorite players from yesteryear got into fights all the time and we loved that about them. Now, things like suspicion of rape, drugs, laziness, attitude, missing practice, even DUI concern me. But a bar room brawl for a tackle doesn't bother me in the slightest. Not his fault the other guy was a wimp.

Reston VA (SPX) Nov 30, 2007
Looking ahead to the U.N. Climate Change Conference that begins next week, a diverse chorus of elected officials and citizens are speaking out to assure the international community that Americans are moving global warming solutions forward, despite the lack of White House leadership. "The other U.S.A. will be with the world in Bali," said Larry Schweiger, president and CEO, National Wildlife Federation.
"Despite a cold shoulder from the White House, delegates in Bali should know that from coast to coast, Americans are responding to the urgent need to reduce global warming pollution."
"We represent millions of Americans who want to leave a healthy planet for their children-where people and wildlife are not threatened by global warming. We will not sit idly by when the world's scientists predict catastrophic flooding, heat waves and global warming refugees by the millions. We will not sit idly by when 20-30 percent of the world's plant and animal life are threatened with extinction because of global warming."
"America can lead the world in solving the global warming crisis, and it is long past time that we took up this moral challenge," said Martin Luther King III, chairman and CEO, Realizing the Dream. "I am filled with hope. Every generation has had to tackle threats of magnitudes that are almost unimaginable to us today."
"We know we must do what's right for America and what's right for the world," added Larry Schweiger. "Momentum to provide global warming solutions is surging-from city, state and regional levels to the U.S. Congress."
More than a dozen states across the U.S. have set targets to cut global warming pollution. For example, in Florida, Governor Charlie Crist said in a press statement that his executive orders to cut global warming pollution provide "the moral leadership" to preserve Florida's natural environment.
"Growth in American driving habits and related emissions tell us that to contain climate change we as a country must get out of our cars-and on to buses, bicycles and sidewalks," said King County (in Washington state) Executive Ron Sims, who recently testified at the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on strategies to reduce transportation emissions. "King County and other regional transit agencies of the United States are therefore on the front lines of investing in critical climate change solutions."
"With Seattle leading the way, more than 720 American cities have pledged to reduce carbon pollution," said Seattle (in Washington state) Mayor Greg Nickels. "Our experience shows what can be done on a local level, but we need the federal government to share our commitment and sense of urgency. Cities are moving forward like there isn't a moment to waste. So, too, must our partners in the other Washington."
Global warming solutions can contribute to local economies and provide global benefits. "The research and development of these alternative technologies will create good jobs at a time when traditional factories are closing down," said Jerome Ringo, president, the Apollo Alliance, a coalition of labor, environmental, national security, civil rights and business leaders. "Our leaders need the vision, investment and political will to chart a new course for a clean energy future."
"Climate change is a human rights and environmental justice issue," said Pat Spears, a leader among indigenous people in the U.S. He is a member of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe and president, Intertribal Council on Utility Policy. "Wind energy generated on Tribal lands can supply one-quarter of U.S. energy needs. Tribes have the vast wind resources to build sustainable renewable energy economies and demonstrate actions that reduce global warming pollution. We want to use the gift and power of the wind to sustain our communities."
"We cannot afford to lose momentum in the international arena because the White House is out of step with the rest of America," said Larry Schweiger. "There are many of us in the United States that are committed to ensuring that our country moves from being a global laggard to being a global leader in reducing global warming. We have a moral responsibility to do everything we can to reduce global warming pollution."

Having The Climate Cake And Eating It Too
Morogoro, Tanzania (SPX) Nov 30, 2007
Is it possible to solve climate change, reduce poverty and save biodiversity at a single stroke" It might seem like a dream, but this is exactly the issue that is being discussed at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC) in Bali 3-14 December 2007. The key is to include reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in the Kyoto Protocol so that developing countries can be compensated for saving their forests and woodlands.

Looking at the 2011-2012 snow season thus far, it's hard to imagine any snow-dependent destination turning a solid profit. How do you run a business based on something as unpredictable as the weather? This was the question posed to Rob Katz, CEO of the largest ski resort company in the United States, Vail Resorts, by Derek Thompson at The Atlantic. Katz told Thompson simply, "Make your business about much more than snowfall." This year, Vail Mountain saw its snowfall decrease by 80%- the mountain's driest season in 30 years- and yet visits were down a mere 15%. In order to understand this, one must take into account the fact that Vail's ticket sales only account for 46% of its overall income. Another resort following Vail's thriving business model is Whistler-Blackcomb; the two-mountain ski area offering more average snowfall, trails, lifts, and vertical drops on the continent. Similar to Katz's strategy, Whistler-Blackcomb bases its profits off of the membership of its visitors, rather than the individual ski days. Both resorts sell season passes that allow for massive discounts for the rider- about 90% by season's end- but allow for a higher earnings base surrounding lodging and dining at their resorts.
"Creating packages is fundamental to our business," said Kevin Smith, executive vice president and CFO of Whistler/Blackcomb. "Especially if families pre-commit to a package that includes lift tickets, lodging, and ski school, we lock up that business before the snow falls."
An additional key to Vail and Whistler's success can be found in their extensive ownership of businesses from the base area on up. Snow schools, rentals, retailers, and restaurants; all fall under the resort's umbrella. Also vital is the actual layout of the lifts and trails- visitors crave wide-open vistas, as well as varying levels of technicality in order to accommodate all types of riders. A well planned area will cater to families, first times, and thrill-seekers all the same.
"With the right design, skiers come down the mountain like water," Katz said.
By employing their profitable business models, resorts like Vail and Whistler-Blackcomb are able to remain stable, even amidst the unreliable, erratic conditions that come with mountain weather.

Absence of Integrin 21 Alters MMP Expression and TNF-Dependent Inflammatory Cartilage Destruction

Integrins are main receptors for cell-matrix interactions, and integrin signaling is critical for a variety of cellular functions such as adhesion, cell spreading and inflammatory responses. a2b1 integrin functions as a major receptor for type I collagen on a number of different cells, including fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. Although a2 integrin deficient mice appear normal apart from mild platelet dysfunction and abnormal angiogenesis, it was shown that a2 integrin contributes to the induction of MMPs in tissue remodeling. Based on the hypothesis that under stress conditions such as chronic inflammation, a2 integrin may be involved in the activation of synovial cells, we investigated the role of a2 integrin in inflammatory arthritis.
To determine the role of a2 in TNF-mediated joint disease, we crossed a2-deficient mice with arthritic human TNFalpha transgenic (hTNFtg) mice. Clinical signs of arthritis and weight as well as the histological degree of synovitis and cartilage destruction in hind paws were investigated using standard clinical evaluation and histomorphometric analysis. In addition, we analyzed levels of cytokines and MMPs using serum and synovial fibroblasts from all genotypes. In addition, we used an established in vitro assay to investigate the role of the a2-subunit in the attachment of mouse synovial fibroblasts to healthy and IL-1 damaged articular cartilage.
We found that loss of a2 integrin in hTNFtg mice resulted in improved clinical signs and symptoms as compared to hTNFtg mice arthritis score. hTNFtg/a2(-/-) mice had less paw swelling (1.87 vs. 2.66), increased grip strength (-1.83 vs. -2.66) and a less pronounced weight loss. Histological analysis of these mice revealed that loss of a2 integrin lead to a decrease in synovial inflammation as compared to hTNFtg mice. To evaluate the role of a2 for MMPs we analyzed serum levels of a2-deficient and wt mice and found no significant difference in MMP3 or MMP9. However in a2(-/-) synovial fibroblasts MMP3 expression was downregulated, compared to wt synovial fibroblasts (127.5 vs. 170.5 ng/ml). This downregulation was similar in synovial fibroblasts from hTNFtg/a2(-/-) mice compared to fibroblasts from hTNFtg animals. In addition, we found a diminished attachment of a2-deficient mouse synovial fibroblasts particularly after induction of proteoglycan loss in IL-1 treated cartilage pieces in vitro.
Our findings suggest that although a2 integrin appears to be dispensable for normal development, the loss of a2 leads to a decrease in inflammation and bone destruction in an animal model of inflammatory arthritis.

TEK, or TIE-2, is an endothelial cell-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is known as a functioning molecule of vascular endothelial cells. TEK comprises a subfamily of RTK with TIE, and these two receptors play critical roles in vascular maturation, maintenance of integrity and remodeling. Targeted mutagenesis of both Tek and its agonistic ligand, Angiopoietin-1, result in embryonic lethality, demonstrating that the signal transduction pathways mediated by this receptor are crucial for normal embryonic development. TEK signaling is indispensable for the development of the embryonic vasculature and suggests that TEK signaling may also be required for the development of the tumor vasculature.

What do a Buddhist geshe who escaped from Tibet, a local couple, and book all have in
common? The Humboldt community.
A local couple, Cyndy Phillips and Peter Jain, are working toward making a Tibetan geshe's dream come true. For the last two years, they've been arranging to bring Venerable Geshe Lobsang Tenkyong, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and friend, to America. In particular, they seek to bring him to Humboldt County for a two- to three-month visit in order to give free teachings on peace, youth involvement and Tibetan Buddhism. As the last round of his visa permit is being processed at the American embassy in Italy, the couple turn to the Humboldt community for help
in raising the final funds necessary to fulfill this dream.
Phillips, associate faculty in English at Humboldt State University and College of the Redwoods, first met Geshe Tenkyong while teaching English at Kopan Monastery in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal in 2005. At that time, Geshe had been teaching and living at Kopan for over a decade, but his life beforehand bore the weight and trauma common to many Tibetans who fled religious persecution in Tibet.
After traveling by foot for months over mountainous terrain, he arrived at the Tibetan government in exhale in Dharamsala, India. From there, he was sent to study at Sera Jey Monastery in southern India, where he ultimately received the title "Geshe," the highest academic degree in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, before he came to reside at Kopan. As Phillips left Nepal, she helped Tenkyong secure safe passage to Italy, where the Dalai Lama requested he transfer to head a Tibetan Buddhist Center near Padua.
Supporters can also go to wildeearthpress.com and order advanced, signed copies of Peter Jain's book "Let the Dance Begin: Greetings From Humboldt" (with local release set for Arts! Arcata on Sept. 12 at Northtown Books. Jain, a local elementary school music teacher, first created the prose poetry contained in this book shortly after his daughter was born, tucking it away for over a decade. When his 13-year-old son was tragically killed last year in a car accident, his grief manifested in a number of ways, including trying to make sense of life and trying to find beauty and healing again. As part of that effort, he returned to the poem stored away, and he developed a newfound love of photography.
The revised poem as well as a collection of scenic photographs of Humboldt County he took over the following year as part of his healing efforts, as well as those added by Phillips and local photographer Thomas Dunklin, transformed into a heartfelt, unique collection of words and images available to book lovers as either a paperback or hardback edition. All proceeds from the first year of sales will go toward
the Geshe project.

Back in high school I signed up to take English Literature, which for me at the time was a rather unusual departure. One of the reasons I decided to take the plunge was due to the rather passionate sales pitch by the teacher at the time, Mr. Chadsey. As it turns out, it was one of my most enjoyable courses ever, and many of the poems and prose I read at the time has stayed with me throughout most of my adult life.
One play we read at the time was The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. Due to the controversial (at least at the time) life of Oscar Wilde, the play didn't get performed much while he was alive. But it's become a bit of a classic since that time, and he's now recognized as an important playwright.
It turns out that Oscar Wilde was Irish, something I didn't know until yesterday. While going around the Irish city of Galway on a walking tour, we encountered a statue of his and learned a bit of his history. He spent time in prison due to his homosexuality, and eventually moved to France later in life. He died young and mostly penniless.
But if you're a history or literature buff, then make sure you check out the statue while in Ireland. You can find it on the main street in Galway – just look for the tourists snapping photos.
One response to "Oscar Wilde Statue In Galway, Ireland"
There's an awesome statue of Oscar Wilde in Dublin – he's lounging on a rock, looking every bit the dandy that he was in life. And the statue has real leather shoes that are polished every day! If you head to Dublin, you should check it out!

Corbett: Gripes about transportation funding 'ballsy'
Gov. Tom Corbett defended his $27.1 billion budget proposal on Friday, calling Democrats who criticized him for not boosting transportation funding "ballsy" and the state's higher education system fiscally "flawed."
Corbett also said during a visit to Western Pennsylvania that officials put together a strong package in an effort to lure a massive petrochemical plant to the state.
Democrats didn't fix what has been called a transportation funding crisis when they controlled the House and had Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, in the governor's mansion, Corbett said. A special legislative session on transportation that was called during Rendell's last year in office produced no results, he said.
"For them to call on me and say, 'We need to fix this problem in the first 14, 13 months you're in office,' ... It's ballsy," Corbett said during a news conference at Calgon Carbon Corp. in Findlay, adding that efforts to close a $4.2 billion budget deficit last year dominated the early part of his first year in office.
Sen. Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, the Senate minority leader, blamed Republicans for torpedoing efforts near the end of Rendell's tenure to dedicate funding for transportation. He said there is bipartisan support now to get something done, but the governor has dragged his feet.
Corbett said Pennsylvania's transportation problems "didn't just get here."
Among problems, 23 percent of all state and locally owned bridges are structurally deficient, while 20 percent of Pennsylvania's state-maintained roads are in poor condition. Transit agencies face budget crunches, including Port Authority of Allegheny County, which receives most of its operational funding from Harrisburg and is considering a 35 percent service cut to help close a $64 million deficit.
Corbett's proposed transportation budget totals $5.67 billion, down 9 percent from this fiscal year. A commission Corbett appointed last year recommended ways to generate an added $2.7 billion annually for transportation within five years, but the governor has yet to offer legislative proposals.
Corbett said tough work lies ahead. The key question, he said, is, "Where is the Legislature going to be, particularly in an election year, when it comes time to make some very tough decisions?"
Rep. Frank Dermody, D-Oakmont, the House minority leader, said in a letter to all House members that he plans to "highlight Gov. Corbett's inaction" by introducing legislation to rename PennDOT the "Department of Deferred Maintenance."
Also yesterday, Corbett defended his proposed $230 million cut for higher education. "I look at that as a percentage of their operating budget that could be cut," he said.
Corbett said the proposed cut to the 14 Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education universities amounts to a 3.8 percent cut in their overall operating expenses, while cuts to state-affiliated schools would amount to 2.1 percent at Pitt, 1.8 percent at Temple and 1.6 percent at Penn State.
"Why is it automatic that they raise their tuition• Why aren't they looking at controlling their costs?" Corbett asked. He also questioned how they train future workers, noting the state system, for example, graduated 12,000 teachers last year in a state with just 3,000 vacancies.
State system spokesman Kenn Marshall said the schools have shed a combined $230 million in expenses over the past decade, and they constantly evaluate the effectiveness of their programs and Pennsylvania's work force needs.
Pitt Chancellor Mark A. Nordenberg said in a statement that Corbett's math "masks the depth of the reduction" because he based it on the university's $1.94 billion operating budget -- even though $800 million comes from sources that stipulate it must be used for research.
Corbett said officials "are working hard behind the scenes to put together a very good package" to entice Royal Dutch Shell plc to build a petrochemical, or "cracker," plant that would take ethane from Marcellus shale gas and use it to make the basis for plastic products. It could cost up to $4 billion to build and employ hundreds.
Corbett declined to offer specifics, citing a confidentiality agreement.

Today, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, highlighted key issues in Indian Country during the Congressional Response to the National Congress of American Indians' State of Indian Nations Address.
The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) represents the interests of American Indian and Alaska Native communities and Tribal governments. Founded in 1944, it is the oldest and largest organization of its kind. The annual State of Indian Nations Address outlines NCAI's priorities for Indian Country.
During her first official speech to NCAI, Cantwell committed to making sure that "Indian Country grows even stronger." She outlined several important issues for the 113th Congress, including: passing a Carcieri fix; strengthening the government-to-government relationship between Tribes and the federal government; taking action on climate change; and reauthorizing the Native American Housing Assistance Self-Determination Act, and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
"From the first treaties with Indian nations, the federal government has acknowledged that Native people are the stewards of our land," Cantwell said. "Native people have lived off the land and in harmony with the earth and its resources for thousands of years. You have a strong voice that needs to be part of the national dialogue. And when it comes to seeking solutions, whether it's on natural resources or subsistence or climate change, we all need to work together."
Cantwell also called for the U.S. House to send the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act with strong Tribal protections to the president for his signature.
"I am so proud that a few days ago we were able to pass out of the United States Senate the Violence Against Women Act," Cantwell said. "And fortunately, we were able to defeat two very harmful amendments that would have watered down the rights of Tribal women. And with a very strong vote of 78-22 we are now sending that legislation to the House of Representatives and I call on them today to take immediate action to pass this important legislation."
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act reauthorizes and improves previous versions of the bill by extending domestic violence protections to women in Tribal communities, who suffer disproportionately from domestic violence and face complex jurisdictional loopholes. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a reauthorization allowing Tribal courts to prosecute all individuals who commit acts of domestic or sexual violence towards Tribal women on reservations. Cantwell led the fight on making sure strong Tribal protections remained in the final Senate legislation.
Cantwell said in closing: "In Washington state, our state motto is "alki. That means hope for the future. Let's start off 2013 with much hope for the future."
Cantwell's full remarks as delivered follow:
"Well thank you President Keel and thank you for that wonderful address. And for your strong leadership at the National Congress of American Indians.
I think you clearly laid out some of the biggest opportunities that we face working together in this new Congress. I see my colleague is here, the former Chair of the Indian Affairs Committee, Senator Byron Dorgan. Thank you for your leadership in the past on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.
I'd like to say a special hello to the thousands of children who are watching throughout the country. You are the future leaders of our country and we certainly need you.
I'd also like to recognize two members of the National Congress of American Indians from my home state. Ron Allen, Chairman of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe, who is Treasurer of the National Congress of American Indians. And Fawn Sharp, from the Quinault Nation, who is the Northwest Area Vice-President. I know that both of them are strong members of NCAI and I look forward to working with them in this new capacity.
In his speech, President Keel spoke about Indian nations and their need to secure their futures. This reminds me of what Chief Seattle once said, "The earth does not belong to us. We belong to the earth. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. We did not weave the web of life, we are merely strands in it. Whatever we do to that web, we do to ourselves."
From the first treaties with Indian nations, the federal government has acknowledged that Native people are the stewards of our land. Native people have lived off the land and in harmony with the earth and its resources for thousands of years.
You have a strong voice that needs to be part of the national dialogue. And when it comes to seeking solutions, whether it's on natural resources or subsistence or climate change we all need to work together.
In President Obama's State of the Union speech this week he said, "The state of our Nation is stronger."
In many ways, we are able to say that the state of Indian Country is stronger today that is, than it was 50 years ago.
Tribes have greater autonomy in managing their resources, preserving their cultures, and utilizing their land base.
These accomplishments have come about for many reasons. One, we honor treaties. Two, we respect the government-to-government relationship. And we have grown together working to make sure that we can achieve all that is necessary.
One of my goals as the Chairwoman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee is to make sure that Indian Country grows even stronger.
By working together with President Keel and other Tribal leaders we are going to work hand in hand to accomplish many things in 2013. I am so proud that a few days ago we were able to pass out of the United States Senate the Violence Against Women Act. With a very strong vote and a new Tribal provision important to making sure that the federal government and tribal government work together to closely root out this issue of domestic violence on Tribal reservations.
And fortunately, we were able to defeat two very harmful amendments that would have watered down the rights of Tribal women. And with a very strong vote of 78-22 we are now sending that legislation to the House of Representatives and I call on them today to take immediate action to pass this important legislation.
Passing the Violence Against Women Act out of the United States Senate, passing the Sandy Relief Bill with the particular Tribal recognition in it. We have started 2013 on a good foot.
But, there is much work to be done in Indian Country during this Congress.
The Native American Housing Assistance Self-Determination Act expires this year. We have a Farm Bill that we need to reauthorize. The Elementary and Secondary School Act which expired in 2008 is well-past due for reauthorization.
The issues of tax reform and making sure that the IRS deals with Tribes in a fair way on Tribal taxation issues.
And we must address the 2009 Supreme Court decision which affected Tribes in its ability to take land into trust. For me, this issue is simple. I look at my home state of Washington where Senator Daniel Inouye and Congressman Norm Dicks worked hard on a Puyallup Tribe land claim settlement. With this Act, the Puyallups gained the lands and resources they needed to bring economic opportunity to the region.
Now, the Puyallup Tribe is one of the largest employers in Pierce County, with a payroll of over 3,500 people, 74% of whom are non-Native.
In the last year I passed a land bill for the Quileute and Hoh Tribes so that they can move their school and people out of harm's way of a potential tsunami or the constant floods that were dealt with every single year.
I'll never forget when I had one of the Quileutes testify before the Senate Indian Energy Committee. I asked them how close they were to the Pacific Ocean and they said "Well sometimes it's right out the backdoor. And sometimes it's right under the window.'
I think that showed us that we needed to move them to a higher ground. So this issue of making sure that tribes can take land into trust, be part of communities for economic resources and their own well-being, is an important and critical issue.
That is why I feel so strongly that Congress needs to pass a Carcieri fix. This will be one of the top priorities for the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. And we have already begun work on it.
When the National Congress of American Indians was established in 1944, it was to bring a voice to Native people and to enforce the treaties that had been signed. And these treaties live on in our relationship that is a tribal government to federal government relationship.
Which I say is a very mature relationship. It is built on these treaties, on the Constitution, and federal law.
President Keel stated that Indian Country is strong. That is true. But it is only as strong as our leadership and we need to continue that leadership.
I would like to read part of a statement from a Skokomish leader. His name was George Adams and he was an early leader in NCAI. Maybe some of you remember him. He was the first Native American legislator in Washington State.
At a 1951 Convention of the National Congress of American Indians, he said the following:
"The 370 Treaties which we were compelled to sign and ratify are our tribal and legal inheritance. They represent the blood, the tears and the lives of many ancestors; and they are the promissory notes for a great and strong nation.
The substance of people say those treaties were good of all mankind, and -- as long as the waters flow and the grass grows, and as long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west -- we are promised their substance and they shall remain important to us."
He urged our fellow Tribal leaders to, "Guard them and protect them." To make sure that there was opportunity for the future. And so I'm asking us today in 2013 to renew what that great Tribal leader said from my state.
I'm doing my part. Because it just so happens that his great-grand-daughter Mary Pavel, will be the Staff Director of the Indian Affairs Committee.
So together we will work to make sure that we honor these words and wisdom, get down to business, and do all we can for the next generation of Americans to make sure that they have the tools for economic opportunity for the future.
In Washington state our state motto is "alki.' It's an Indian word that means hope for the future. Let's start off 2013 with much hope for the future.
Thank you again for inviting me today."

Mike Florio talks with Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News to discuss how bad the New York Jets' season is going thus far and if the worse has yet to come. Facing off against a 4-0 Houston Texans team on Monday night, Mehta says that this is the lowest point in any Jets season he has been a part of and wonders how they can bounce back. They also say that while the Jets have Tim Tebow on their team, they haven't figured out how to use him yet and that Tebow Time may very well be right around the corner for Rex Ryan and the New York Jets.This video is no longer available.

Necro swings his arm straight out. This attack lacks range and combos
into nothing. I would advise this move only as a desperate anti-aerial.
Necro crouches down slightly and swings his elbow over his back (I guess
you should see it for yourself). This move combos well into attacks
(i.e. Tornado Hook) , but, there are more effective alternatives such as
a Standing/Back Forward (MK) or Crouching Fierce.
Necro perform a stretching palm strike at an app. 45 degree angle. This
move is a great long range anti-aerial when your opponent is jump from
far to mid screen. For you Dhalsim players, imagine the standing
Forward (MK)and a slightly higher angle.
Necro's jumping Strong (MP) is perhaps the inverted version of his
Crouching Strong(MP). When in mid-air he/she punches downward at a 45
degree angle. Dhalsim players, similar to a jumping Fierce.
Fierce (HP)
Necro's Fierce is quite powerful and probably one of his most useful
basic attacks.
Necro stretches/swings one arm out horizontally at his opponent. This
move practically clears the screen and barely whiffs an opponent who is
near the edge of the screen. Good move to pressure opponent into jump.
Performing this move too often could result in a Dragon Punch counter or
any other move with solid priority.
Necro Performs an uppercut that goes almost completely vertical and can
reach the top of the screen for those high flying hurricane
kicks/floating Q's/ and other high, over the head, jumpers. This is a
anti-aerial move and a knock down move and sets your opponent up for a
juggle. This move can be followed up by various specials and the
Magnetic Storm super (I), but at this time I advise that it is followed
up by a Crouching/Back Fierce to produce the most
damage, floor your opponent, and distance him from you.
This is a low version of Necro's Standing/Neutral Fierce (HP), but it
does NOT hit low. From what I've seen there are no major difference
between a Standing/Neutral Fierce (HP) and a Crouching/Neutral Fierce
(HP). So it is your choice on what you would rather use, but I would
advise the Standing version.
Necro swings his elbow out (somewhat larger compared to his
Standing/Back Strong (MP)) and if the blow connects it will quickly
knock your opponent down and across the screen. As stated before this
is a good follow up to the Standing/Back Fierce (HP) uppercut. This is
also a good, quick counter (faster than a sweep) to opponent's who walk
too close.
Necro reaches out horizontally with both hands about 1/4 to 1/2 screen
length. I use this as my secondary jump-in attack. Necro's Jumping
Fierce takes out distance and close-range jumpers, and hits long-
distance projectile throwers.
Short (LK)
The same as all other character's Shorts (LK) in the game. Combos into
most moves. Leaves you wide open in mid-air.
Forward (MK)
Necro's Forward (MK) lacks solid priority, but has it's uses.
Necro stretches and swings his leg out between low and mid-level heights
and attacks at about the range of a standard shotokan sweep. This attack
is good for distancing your opponent, since it is much faster than
Necro's Crouching Forward.
Necro perform a small knee attack that can be comboed into his Spinning
Punch and is a good, close-range push move.
Necro kicks/stretches his leg out app. 1/4 screen length and hits low.
It's a long-distance low attack, but is extremely slow. Good for
keeping opponents who like to stay on the ground away.
Necro performs a diagonal kick upward which can be used to take out
opponents higher in the air than him (although it is a rare for this to
Roundhouse (FK)
Necro's Roundhouse is interesting to say the least. His sweep is
especially useful.
Similar to Dhalsim's standing Roundhouse (FK) although not as fast.
This a way to discourage opponents from leaving the ground or for
tapping long range.
Necro performs a much larger version of his Standing/Back Forward (MK)
attack. The knee is larger in size, the attack is much much faster, and
the knee hits much much higher. This move is an effective anti-aerial
IF you can get the timing down, although it doesn't allow you to juggle
like the Fierce anti-aerial does. I've found this move to be a good
counter to a jumping Chun-Li.
Necro's sweep is terrific. It hits low, has 1/2 screen range, and comes
out quickly. He basically performs the equivalent of Shotokan style
sweep, but the sweeping leg is much longer. Learn the length of this
attack and scare your opponents into crouching more often.
Necro's Jumping Roundhouse (HP) is like a longer air-born version of his
Standing/Neutral Forward (MK). This move hits people who are behind you
if you happen to jump over them, but Necro's jump movement is so slow
that this is an ineffective tactic. I suggest sticking to the jumping
Fierce (HP) if you plan to use a mid-air attack.
Special/Super Moves Notation: |
QCF - Quarter Circle Forward (D,DF,F) |
HCF - Half Circle Forward (B,DB,D,DF,F)|
QCB - Quarter Circle Back (F,DF,D,DB,B)|
HCB - Half Circle Back (D,DB,B) |
II. Special Moves
Drill Kick D+K (air only)
This move is very much like Dhalsim's Drill Kick. For those of you
who haven't seen it...well, try it out for yourselves. The only
difference is that Necro's Drill Kick hits twice. Having a Drill Kick
gives you the power to switch directions in mid-air at anytime. Also,
having two hits allows you to use the first hit to take out a jump
opponent and right when they land they'll get hit again. This move is a
good way to close distance with projectile characters and stop yourself
from jumping too far/short. The power of the kick button controls your
angle. A Short (LP) Drill Kick attacks at a 20-30 degree angle, Forward
(MP) at a 45 degree angle, and Roundhouse (HP) at a 70-80 degree angle.
Electric Shock F,D,DF+P
The Electric Shock move is only effective as an anti-aerial attack.
Jab (LP) hits 1 time, Strong (MP) hits 2 times, and Fierce (HP) hits
three times. The move does moderate damage and I suggest using the
fierce version all the time. This move is especially good when your
opponent begins to parry or you just can't get that basic anti-aerial
Snake Fang HCF+K
This move has moderate range, comes out pretty fast, does good
damage, and hits low. Basically Necro "snakes" his hand out a little
beyond sweep distance and grabs the opponent by the leg. He then
proceeds to toss them over his head against the other side of the
screen. I suggest using this move often and switching it up with
Necro's other High/Low moves (i.e. Raging Cobra) when your opponent is
rising or thinks he's a safe distance. There is possibility of a juggle
combo after this move if your back is to the wall, although nothing is
confirmed yet. I am not positive how using a stronger kick button
affects the results, but I'm assuming it does slightly more damage and
leaves you open slightly longer.
Raging Cobra QCB+K (Can be EXed)
This move has deceivingly moderate rage and solid damage. Necro lays
back on one leg, stretching/bending it in the process, and then, because
of the tension, springs back and kicks with his other leg. It's hard to
picture, but just try the move. The Raging Cobra acts as an overhead
attack and, to reiterate, has deceivingly moderate range (about Shotokan
sweep range). Using a stronger kick button does slightly more damage
and takes slightly longer to come out. EXing the move allows it to hit
2 times instead of the 1, although I believe it only hits for 2 when
you're right next to the opponent.
Flying Viper QCB+P (Can be EXed)
This is the good ol' anti-fireball SFIII series move (all characters
have an anti-fireball move). Necro jumps forward and up twice as high
as a hop overhead (Strong (MP) + Forward (MK)) and then chops/reaches
forward with both hands knocking the opponent down. This move is an
overhead and a good anti-fireball move when your opponent is about 1/4
to 1/2 screen away. Unfortunately this move is not as quick and in no
way as deceiving as the Raging Cobra. Although this move can also be
used for when your opponent falls short on a jump in and he/she's
prepared for the sweep. The EX version is faster and does slightly more
Spinning Punch QCF+P (Can be EXed)
This is your one and only solid combo move. Necro spins, swinging
his elbows, while moving forward. The Jab (LP) version of this hits 2
times, Strong (MP) hits 3 times, and Fierce (HP) hits 4 times. The
Strong (MP) and Fierce (HP) number of hits are not confirmed because
this move leaves you somewhat open if you perform this move too close.
This move connects with Standing Jab (LP), Standing Short (LK), and
Standing/Back Forward (MK). Also, if you connect with this move and the
last hit does NOT knock your opponent down, but instead spins your
opponent around so his/her back is to you (i.e. result of Alex's QCF+P
move), your opponent will be open for a Jab (LP) Spinning Punch or an EX
Spinning Punch. The EX version of the Spinning Punch is quick and can
be used after your you block an opponent's attempt to sweep you, after a
parried fireball, etc. Any ground move that leaves your opponent open
for a good second.
III. Super Moves
I. (1 Short Bar) Magnetic Storm QCF,QCF+P Repeatedly press P (25-35%
Considering how few of Necro's moves are good EXed this short bar
super isn't a bad choice. This move is a much more powerful version of
the Electric Shock move in which Necro steps forward and huge bolts of
electricity cover his body. Those huge bolts pull your opponent into
the super (similar to Ryu's EX Hurricane Kick). This super can only be
stopped by a projectile. If an opponent is in a mid-sweep, a jump kick,
etc. it will not interrupt your super. Necro is practically invincible.
Also, because Necro steps forward, you can hit opponents that are as far
as sweeping range. One more good trick is to perform a drill kick in
which you barely clip your opponent on the second hit and then perform
the Magnetic Storm right after. Many of your opponents will think
you're wide open after the second hit.
II. (1 Moderate/Long Bar) Slam Dance QCF,QCF+P Close Range (app. 30%
Slam Dance is a throw super. It has high priority (as do all throw
supers) and is great for taking down those turtles (people who block all
day long and play too defensively). Slam Dance has the same
invincibility that Magnetic Storm does although can only be used on
grounded opponents. This is a great wake-up/get-up move when your
opponent is standing right next to you. Especially effective against
those people who like to overhead, sweep all day long. Also, having the
large bar allows you to counter opponents who sweep non-stop with an EX
Spinning Punches (the only good EX move IMO).
III. (2 Short/Moderate Bars) Electric Snake QCF,QCF+P (app. 20-25%
The Electric Snake is not too flashy like the other supers. Necro
sends a flash of electricity along the ground and if it hits it shocks
and knocks down your opponent. The super only hits low and I believe
(not confirmed since I have not used this super often) that it goes
under most projectiles. I do NOT recommend this super as it does leave
you wide open for most attacks, does not do well in desperate
situations, and despite the 2 short/moderate bars for EXs, I would
recommend the more useful Slam Dance super.
Author's Strategy Notes
Necro can be played however you'd like. With Necro you have powerful
long-range and short-range attacks and any strategies I give are mere
suggestions or tricks that I use against opponents. I do NOT give
strategies on defeating the computer or in defeating a particular
character played by a person (since people's playstyle ALWAY vary). If
you do have problems with a particular person's style of play I will be
happy to respond to you via e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com).
IV. Strategies/Suggestions/Tips
Keep That Opponent on the Ground
Necro has lots of low/high ground moves and this strategy is obvious.
Necro has Snake Fang (hits low), a long-range sweep, Flying Viper
(overhead), and Raging Cobra (overhead). When your opponent is getting
up switch it up on him. Most opponents block low on getting up so the
Raging Cobra is a good choice. After you hit him with this mix things
up. Necro has a powerful close-range ground game.
Magnetic Storm Trick
If you're using Magnetic Storm as your super then this is a good way
to trick your opponent into getting hit by this super. Perform a Drill
Kick so the second hit barely clips your opponent. Most people will
then assume that you're wide open after the second hit and attempt to
hit you (sweeping being the most common reaction). Perform a Magnetic
Storm once you hit the ground and you'll almost always snag them with

Britney Spears Cracks the Comeback Whip
Britney Spears continues her climb to fighting shape with the help of some backup dancers and choreographer Andres Fuentes, working out a new dance routine featuring a rather sexy prop.
Fans having been dying for a peak at new, legit Britney brilliance since an earlier dance video surfaced. Now Celebuzz can confirm that these images were snapped at rehearsals for Spears' second music video from Circus.
While the name of the second single has yet to be released, Celebuzz can't help but speculate—with that handy whip in hand, she's giving off a ringmaster vibe. And it just so happens that Circus has a title track.
Could she be whipping those dancers into an epic Big Top video?

Tips to help you keep the rules if you're keeping it in the family
Question : My son finishes school next year and is considering joining the family business rather than going to university. I've only ever employed experienced workers before. Are there different rules applying to employing family members and/or young people?
Answer: Jim Andrew, Tax Assist Accountants, Cregagh Road, Belfast, replies:
Many young people are thinking twice about a university education given the hike in fees and we've had a lot of small local businesses remark on the increase in job applications from school leavers.
Whilst there are no separate rules regarding employing a family member, there are regulations you need to be aware of if you are thinking of employing anyone under the age of 21.
For instance, if they earn above £102 per week, they'll need to be added to the payroll, but they can earn up to £136 per week before you need to start calculating any deductions.
In addition the national minimum wage that applies to under-21s is lower than that for adults.
If you're planning to recruit anyone aged under 18 and they work during term time, you should operate the normal PAYE procedures used for any other employee.
And it is also worth noting that there is a lower limit on how many hours these people can work.
You should also take a look at the National Apprenticeship Service website http://www.delni.gov.uk/index/successthroughskills/apprenticeshipsni.html as this gives employers the opportunity to have some or all of the training costs subsidised by the government.

Wounded Officer to be Removed from Life Support "In the Coming Few Days"
In a tearful statement, the family of San Antonio Police Officer Robert Deckard says they are beginning the process of taking the 32 year old officer off life support, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"Unfortunately, the doctors have reached a point where they can no longer do much to save Bobby's life," the family said. "Although it pains us to let him go, we must begin to, and are thankful for the fact that we have had these few precious days with him since he was injured."
Deckard was shot in the head by two fleeing armed robbery suspects as they attempted to evade Deckard and other officers in a high speed chase through south Bexar County and into Wilson County on December 8th. The two were arrested and are facing serious felony charges.
The family says Deckard's organs will be donated.
"We take pride in knowing that Bobby was doing what he loved doing, protecting the citizens of San Antonio," the family said. "We also take great comfort in knowing that Bobby will continue to offer others a second chance at life through organ donation when he time does come in the next few days."

Buick's mini-SUV, Encore, will start at $24,950, including shipping, when it hits showrooms early next year.
Despite Encore's diminutive size, Buick hopes to convince shoppers it's not too small to be a Buick, and it's not too expensive for its size.
Compared with the Honda CR-V, which starts at $23,525 and is the best-selling SUV in the U.S., Encore is 10 inches shorter and 2 inches narrower, riding on a 3-inch shorter wheelbase.
And Encore even is smaller than Chevrolet's Sonic -- nearly 5 inches shorter than the sedan (though 10 in. longer than the hatchback version of Sonic).
But compared with a Mini Countryman -- a logical rival in type of vehicle and price -- it is about the same width, about 3 inches taller and about 7 inches longer.
Buick says its mini-SUV will have plenty of standard features to ensure the vehicle gets proper respect as a premium machine. For example, active noise cancelation, 18-in. diameter wheels, rearview camera and 7-in. color display screen.
Steps up through the Encore line:
Those are front-drive models. Want all-wheel drive? Add $1,500. Other stand-alone options include navigation, $795 and sunroof, $800.
Power will come from a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated 138 hp, 148 lbs.-ft., coupled to a six-speed automatic. The FWD model is rated 25 mpg in town, 33 highway, 28 combined. Buick says the AWD isn't rated yet.

Back and forth they went, Gibbs and St. Petersburg, their game coming down to the final possession, the final moment. Every shot, every rebound, every defensive stop was met in kind.
That is how the second half unspoiled Monday night in the championship game of the Fossil Park summer league. For the Gladiators, who escaped with a 36-35 victory, that is how their offseason unfolded as well.
Gibbs' summer resume was filled with a series of close games. The Gladiators were involved in another one against the Green Devils. Trailing 35-34 in the final 11 seconds, Gibbs was able to come up with a much-needed stop. On their final possession, the Gladiators won on a shot by Undrea Bullard, his only basket of the game.
"I was kind of surprised to get the ball," Bullard said. "Barry Brown threw a great pass to me, and I was able to do the rest."
Shaq Speights led Gibbs with 11 points, including two 3-pointers. Darius Banks had a team-high 10 points for St. Petersburg.
Since losing to eventual state champion Jesuit in the Class 5A region semifinals, the Gladiators have been on a roll. Gibbs won every tournament or camp they were in this offseason, including the SEBA league in Tampa. Overall, they were 44-5.
That bodes well this winter considering Gibbs returns nearly its entire lineup and its bench will be bolstered by junior varsity team that went undefeated.
"It was a very productive offseason for us," Gladiators coach Larry Murphy said. "We played and won a lot of games. But we still have some work to do."

Hello Again!
It has recently come to my attention that there are many questions and debates concerning iPhone 3G Digitizer and Glass repair. We have been getting in a lot of orders for this type of repair so I wanted to clear up a few things.
So you've cracked the glass on your iPhone 3G…
I realize that you can buy an iPhone 3G glass panel on eBay for around $20, however, this will NOT fix your iPhone! These glass panels do NOT come with the digitizer, the second layer under the glass top, attached to them. In addition, there is NO way to UN-attach your digitizer and put it on this new glass panel. If you are wanting to do this repair yourself, then you need to be sure to buy a replacement glass panel with a digitizer.
This repair would be A LOT easier if you buy the entire front panel including the home button, bracketry, digitizer and glass panel. BUT…you do not need to have this "complete" assembly. It is also not available on the market at this time.
The repair process has several steps. First, disassemble the iPhone. Take off the front panel then carefully remove the cracked glass and digitizer from the frame. Other repair centers use a utility knife to get the glass out, which can cause scrapes and damage to your phone.
The good news for you is that here at Got Repair we have developed a sure fire method of removing the glass panel successfully and without damage. With this careful system we insure the safety of your phone!
That's all the information I have for you for now and I hope it is helpful! Take care if you are repairing your iPhone 3G yourself and if it proves effective then send us your resume :)! Great technicians are always an asset!
See you soon,
