Vince Ready declines request to mediate B.C. teachers dispute
According to several media reports, veteran labour mediator Vince Ready will not step into the negotiations between the B.C. Teachers' Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers' Association.
This likely means teachers will be off the job on Monday (June 23) to start the second week of their full-scale strike.
The B.C. government and the teachers' union both asked him if he would be willing to serve as a mediator in the dispute.
Ready is reportedly too busy to do that right now.
Both sides are still quite far apart in their negotiations.
The union is seeking an eight percent raise and a signing bonus and a five-year contract.
In addition, the BCTF wants a $225-million annual workload fund to address staffing ratios, class composition, and class size pending the outcome of the B.C. government's appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling in the teachers' favour.
The union has also asked for a $225-million "retroactive grievances fund", which is in response to Justice Susan Griffin's court decision that found the B.C. government had violated teachers' constitutional rights by shredding a contract in 2002.
The employer has offered a $1,200 signing bonus if a deal is reached by June 30, as well as a seven percent hike over six years.

Vince Ready is a very smart man!!....until the demands of the BCTF become somewhat resonable there is nothing to mediate!

No peter G, Vince Ready is currently occupied. Sheesh, trolls.

BCTF has dug themselves into a very deep hole and Ready did not want to get near them. Moreover, what fool (ie BCTF leaders) would make such a spectacle of getting Ready involved knowing full well that he was booked solidly pretty through to the end of the year. Grossly incompetent union leadership.

Xtina - according to Global TV's Legislative correspondent Keith Baldrey, Ready would most likely not want to get involved until the two sides are much closer in demands, since success would be unlikely. He called it a few days ago and said nobody was surprised, especially anyone who knows Ready (as he does). Baldrey has remained neutral throughout the negotiations so I have some confidence in his opinion, unlike the biased hackery that takes place in this rag.

The strike will continue until the teachers have lost so much that the strike-ending wage hike will actually be revenue-neutral. Then the respective negotiators can crow to their membership that they won.

Several weeks ago I predicted, and I will repeat it. The parties are so far apart and so entrenched only time will force them together. I say the Prov. will risk the one-time-only political hit and leave the schools closed 'til late October then put their original offer on the table with a signing date of Nov. 1st. A lot of people, including many teachers, are fed up with the way the BCTF have handled things for almost 1/2 century. If you think people are upset because their children missed a month of school just wait 'til the monsoon season hits. You haven't seen an angry mob 'til you've seen upset Moms.

School's out for summer....
Wonder how many of our grades 10 - 12 students got I's they are now not going to be able to make up? Seems incredible to think the gov't is going to drag this strike on and lose all that revenue from summer school and international students.

Nobody forced the teachers to go on strike. This is all on the BCTF.

It's not the fucking money-yeah who wouldn't want a raise after 2012 or even 2002-but it's the classroom composition. Ask any one who worked the trades then decided to work with kids, you know, as a teacher-how fucking easy it is. Then add extra responsibilities and less authority, add inclusive class rooms and well, what an easy fucking job. Way overpaid; absolutly stupid-'cause they only listen to their union (sort of like the trades too-real "left-wingers"),and presto! Anyone could do this very unimportant job. Wimmpy guys looking after kids all day, eh; what a fucking gravy train. Yep-just attend to the Main-Stream Media; they'll tell ya. Yep.

Elizabeth A. Eisel
Missing since December 15, 1985 from Bellevue, King County, Washington.
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Eisel was last seen in Washington in 1985. Eisel's adoptive mother died in 1977 and Eisel began to show interest in locating her birth mother afterward.
After attending the University of Minnesota she moved to Orange County, California, and lived with a relative. Eisel arranged a family reunion, where she met and took up company with her half-brother, Steven DeLoge, who is her birth-mother's son. At the time he was wanted for arson and had already been in prison. Eisel changed her name to Danielle DeLoge in 1982, and they began traveling as husband and wife. She gave birth to Steven's son in 1983. The three of them moved into an apartment complex near Main Street and northeast 108th Avenue in Bellevue, Washington in early 1985, but the relationship began falling apart. Eisel began dating another man and Steven became interested in another woman.
Eisel's boyfriend witnessed a violent verbal argument between Eisel and Deloge in late 1985. Shortly before her disappearance, Eisel had a fight with DeLoge and moved in with her boyfriend. After spending Labor Day weekend with him, she returned to the apartment intent on breaking up with DeLoge.
She was never seen again. She left her 2 year old child, belongings and vehicle behind at her residence. DeLoge told police she just took off. Three months after she disappeared, he and his girlfriend abandoned the child with a baby sitter and left Bellevue.
Eisel's father reported her as a missing person in 1998, 13 years after her disappearance.

Beat the First Date Blues: Quirky & Fun Date Ideas
Have you ever been on a really terrible first date? The kind where you plan on dinner and a movie, and you're only half an hour into the dinner when you realize you're staring at your date in frozen silence and trying to think of ways you can pretend your phone is ringing with an emergency that requires you to leave right now? If you've been dating for a while, you've probably been there. Some of it is down to chemistry, but it's possible to have fun on a first date even if you wind up discovering that you're not interested in a second date. Dinner and a movie is the worst possible setup. During the movie half of the date, you can't talk, and during the dinner half, you don't have anything else to do but talk. Here's a handful of offbeat first date ideas to get you started

At Gearld Wright Elementary School, "green" isn't just a trendy buzzword.
Caring for the environment colors everything that happens at this West Valley City school.
The building itself recently became LEED-certified, recognition given to structures from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
The 4-year-old school, designed by architect Jim Day, was built with energy conservation and cost-efficiency in mind.
Ninety percent of the space has an outside view, and less electricity is needed to keep it bright. And -- unlike the builders of Stonehenge, who transported slabs of rock great distances -- the brick and concrete used to erect Gearld Wright Elementary was bought just 5 miles away.
Fifteen percent of the building was made from recycled materials. Inside, the school is full of "low-emitting materials," says Principal Marilyn Laughlin, noting the carpet and paint don't give off toxins, a benefit for asthmatic students in particular.
The school, Laughlin says, has ambiance, a feeling of openness and no sharp corners.
While sitting in the environmentally healthy building, students learn to do their part to save the planet. Recycling and conservation are emphasized, and teachers "incorporate the natural world" into lessons, Laughlin says.
Students also participate in "service learning" by planting tulips, and they spend time in an "outdoor classroom."
It's not just the students who have caught the "green" bug.
"A lot of our teachers have jumped on board, not only with the recycling in our classrooms ... some of our teachers walk and bicycle to school," Laughlin said.
"The children know they are our future," the principal said. "They can be a productive and a vital and important part of looking at the world in a different way."

A TEACHER at a specialist education unit has been suspended after being found guilty of kissing a 14-year-old pupil and making sexual remarks to a class at a previous school.
Danish Bilha Maider Khan, 31, who has worked at Stratton Education Centre and Riverside since 2006, was last month found guilty of two counts of misconduct by a General Teaching Council for Wales professional conduct committee.
It related to allegations dating back to 2004 and 2005 while he was a teacher at two separate schools in Gwent, South Wales, before he was employed by Swindon Council.
Since the allegations came to light last month, the council has suspended him while it conducts its own investigation and waits for the GTCW's decision on sanctions.
Two parents contacted the Adver after reading about allegations against Mr Khan and the GTCW decision, raising concerns as to whether their children were at risk.
Mr Khan had denied both allegations but, following a two-day hearing on June 15, the committee concluded he made sexual and inappropriate remarks to a class at Cwmcarn High School between September 2004 and January 2005.
It also ruled he had an inappropriate relationship with a female pupil at West Mon comprehensive school, in Pontypool, in March 2005, which had involved the pair kissing in a science room.
The second allegation, which included emails sent from Mr Khan's account to the pupil, was investigated by Gwent Police in 2008, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute.
During the hearing, the teacher claimed the remarks allegation was based on malicious falsehoods. He said the school's investigation process was flawed, as pupils were able to collaborate on their evidence before making statements and he claimed a former friend of his had sent four of six emails to the 14-year-old girl.
Later messages referred to a "snog" with the teenager and mentioned a science room in which the teenager told police the incident occurred.
His friend told the hearing he had made up the references to "snog" and "science room."
Mr Khan admitted to a "stupid mistake" in contacting the teenager three years after leaving West Mon, but said he sent only the first two emails.
The committee concluded that Mr Khan committed unacceptable professional conduct falling short of the standard expected of a registered teacher. The hearing was adjourned and sanctions will be imposed at a later date.
A spokesman for the General Teaching Council for Wales said: "I can confirm that two counts of unacceptable professional conduct were found proven against Danish Khan at a hearing on June 18. The hearing was adjourned to a date to be fixed. The case was referred to the GTCW on the 26 July 2010."
A spokesman for Swindon Council said it was unaware of the allegations at the time it employed Mr Khan, who was put through the standard vetting procedure.
"Mr Khan was suspended from his job at Stratton Education Centre in June this year immediately after these allegations came to light, as is normal when allegations such as this are made," he said.
"He remains suspended. We are carrying out our own investigation, which is not yet complete, and we are also awaiting the judgment of the GTC in Wales.
"Our decision about his future employment therefore depends on the outcome of our investigation and the level of the sanction that the GTC choose to impose.
"One of the sanctions available to the GTC is a prohibitive order, which prevents anyone subject to it from working as a teacher in England or Wales.
"Mr Khan went through all the normal checks that are made when employing a teacher, which include gaining references from previous employers, in 2006.
"There was nothing on his record which prevented him from being employed. The allegations were not made until after this date."

Sonkajärvi is a municipality of Finland.
It is located in the province of Eastern Finland and is part of the Northern Savonia region. The municipality has a population of 4,279 (31 March 2016)[2] and covers an area of 1,465.82 square kilometres (565.96 sq mi) of which 110.86 km2 (42.80 sq mi) is water.[1] The population density is 2.92 inhabitants per square kilometre (7.6/sq mi).
The municipality was founded in 1922. Before it Sonkajärvi was a part of Iisalmen maalaiskunta.
The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
Wife carrying competition[edit]
Sonkajärvi has gained a worldwide fame for Wife Carrying (Finnish: akankanto or eukonkanto) which is an alternative sport of carrying women. The first Wife Carrying World Championship dates to 1994, but the creation of the contest, apart from its humorous aspects, has deep roots in the local history. In the late 19th century there was in the area a brigand called Rosvo-Ronkainen, who is said to have accepted in his troops only those men who proved their worth on a challenging track. In those days, it was also a common practice to steal women from the neighbouring villages.
In the Wife Carrying competition each team has one male and one female member, the objective being for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track. The basic rules are that the woman must be over 17 years of age and have a weight of at least 49 kilograms (108 lb). If she is below that weight, she must be burdened with such a heavy rucksack so that the total weight to be carried by the man is at least 49 kilograms. The only equipment allowed is a belt worn by the carrier. The track in Sonkanjärvi used annually for the World Championship has a length of exactely 253.5 metres (832 ft).
There are 204 lakes in the area of Sonkajärvi. Biggest of them are Laakajärvi, Sälevä and Kiltuanjärvi.[6]
Unique nature sights[edit]
There are unique nature sights in the municipality of Sonkajärvi, for example the northernmost in Finland reliably confirmed habitats of wild Small-leaved Lime (Tilia cordata) in the vicinity of the lake of Kangaslampi, 63° 45′ N and near the hill of Salmisenmäki, 63° 43′ 42" N.[7][8][9]

The strangest thing about The Voice and My Kitchen Rules was not Delta's shoulder pads, Joel Madden's hair or watching wannabe chef Dan Mulheron say with a straight face: "I get excited anytime there's a mention of sausage."
It was not scat music or the use of "confit" as a verb (as in "I had better start confitting that duck"). Nor Ben Lee telling a singer to "get freaky in your own planet". No, the strangest thing is that we were watching at all, in such numbers. Last Sunday night, an estimated 2.95 million people tuned in to see the MKR winner crowned on Channel Seven, while 1.97 million watched musical battles on Nine's The Voice. It was the biggest night of television viewing this year.
Not so long ago, some pundits predicted the rise of digital TV and on-demand devices would supplant such mass viewing events. The TV audience would fragment via a multitude of channels and technologies. And yet, last Sunday night just under 5 million homes were tuned in to one of two commercial channels - which equates to roughly half the households in Australia. Many viewers chatted about what they were watching in real time via social media and the next day with friends and colleagues.
Reports of the death of the "watercooler effect" - programs with such mass appeal they become the topic of conversation in the office or home - appear to have been greatly exaggerated. "We still have a human and social need for some kind of media that allows us to gather," says media professor Catharine Lumby, of Macquarie University.
"We see that with sporting events that are broadcast, we see that with the Olympic Games. There are certain moments in media that bring most people together and families look for those things."
What has changed is what we watch together. Watercooler-type conversations once dominated by dramas and comedies such as Melrose Place or Friends are increasingly turned on by so-called "event TV": reality shows that run from the inspirational (MasterChef) to the idiotic (Celebrity Splash). ''If you flashback to a few years ago we were all watching Friends and Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy but they have all died off now. It is mostly now about Australia and about reality,'' says TV Week editor Emma Nolan.
"After the heyday of Big Brother and Australian Idol, everyone was saying reality TV is dead but it never happened. MasterChef was just around the corner, rating millions, followed by My Kitchen Rules then the bonanza that is The Voice."
An estimated 3.7 million Australians tuned in to the July 2009 final of Network Ten's MasterChef - about three-quarters of that night's total TV audience. ''It was a new format that felt fresh, where the whole family sits down and watches together,'' Nolan says. Ratings for the cooking show's latest season fell victim to other event-TV offerings - MKR and Channel Nine's The Block.
Such programs have managed to corral a large audience through ''the illusion of liveness'', says Sue Turnbull, professor in media studies at the University of Wollongong. ''The arrival of reality television means we have to keep watching TV every day because of the notion it is unfolding in real time, no matter how false that is.''
In most cases it is an illusion. The crowning of the MKR winner was filmed last December but producers cut two possible outcomes, so not even the teams in the final knew the result until Sunday.
Many viewers now watch TV dramas via downloads or DVD boxsets. But canny networks have countered the threat of fragmentation by creating local reality TV shows many viewers feel compelled to watch as they go to air. Seven's director of programming, Angus Ross, says predictions of the demise of watercooler shows was driven in part by the ailing ratings of US imports, such as the CSI franchise and Desperate Housewives. ''The way you counter fragmentation is producing quality programming that viewers want to watch.''
For the commercial networks that has meant reality shows strip-screened in prime time several nights a week. ''The first or only time you can see those is on the network that is broadcasting them,'' Ross says. ''We view them like a sporting contest. You pick the team you like and cheer for them, and over multi nights you build that momentum.''
The spread of social media has enhanced the appeal of event TV.
The spread of social media tools, such as Twitter, has enhanced the appeal of event-TV, Ross argues. ''A lot of the watercooler talk is happening now as you watch the show. That also forces people to watch the shows live to feel part of that conversation but also to avoid any spoilers.''
Networks have sought to keep viewers together by offering online platforms - such as Seven's Fango or zeebox on Ten and Foxtel - which encourage them to chat and interact while they are watching. ''Now we can second-screen and share our thoughts on Twitter while the show is on air,'' says David Knox, of website TV Tonight.
''Shows like Q&A and My Kitchen Rules provoke social media. Even Offspring triggers huge online conversations.''
Dr Lumby says fragmentation has brought a ''new energy'' to programming. "If we go back two decades, getting a slice of the audience was easy peasy. Today's audience is incredibly fragmented into age groups, demographics and gender, so the shows that really draw the crowd are the ones that cross boundaries and speak across a broad group of people,'' she says.
''Everyone has some kind of interest in a show that has a narrative, end game or competition to it. That's why those programs come into their own because they are one of the few spaces in media where people from a whole range of age groups can actually connect.''
Which is not to say we are returning to an era of entire families sitting around the box after dinner. Fragmentation, at the very least, has lowered the bar of what is considered worthy of a watercooler-type conversation. ''Anything over a million is pretty good these days because television has diversified so much,'' Nolan says.

'50 Shades of Grey' Drama + HOT GUY PICS
Apparently the role of Christian Grey was offered to Hollywood Heartthrob Ryan Gosling, but he turned down the highly anticipated 50 Shades of Grey lead.
Sons of Anarchy hunk Charlie Hunnam eventually scored the part of sex crazed billionaire Christian Grey, but the UK actor has been getting some push back from "50 Shades" fan online who wanted E.L. James' first choice, Robert Pattinson, to take on the project.
The jury is still out over whether or not Charlie can pull it off, but until the flick is released in August 2014 you can enjoy some HOT pics of Hunnam:

COAST GUARD AND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 2005 -- (House of Representatives - September 15, 2005)
Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I want to thank Chairman Young for his attention and leadership on this issue. I want to thank the ranking member, the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Oberstar), and the gentleman from California (Mr. Filner). I think this is one committee and one area where we are probably a role model for the rest of the Congress to look at in terms of the way we have come together in a bipartisan way to recognize the needs and form a consensus and conclusion.
Chairman Young outlined some of the basics of the bill, the $8.7 billion that we are authorizing. He talked a little bit about Operation Deepwater, and I want to sort of reemphasize a little of that. We are asking for $1.6 billion for the Deepwater System, which will result in the complete recapitalization of the Coast Guard. If there were ever a time and a need for it, it is now.
While we have not talked about homeland security that much in the wake of Katrina, the Coast Guard's primary mission has been that of maritime anti-terrorism and homeland security. They are not able to conduct that mission with assets that are failing on a more regular basis, and every day Coast Guardsmen must deal with the reality and the possibility of asset failures that put the safety of the personnel and the success of their missions in jeopardy.
This is an opportunity for us, in an authorization bill, to clearly state how important we think it is for the Coast Guard to have the right assets to go along with the extraordinary training and dedication they are bringing to the mission. This is a very good step forward, and I would urge all my colleagues to support this legislation.
Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.

Re: Double standard
Boller has many supporters, they just are tired of defending him to lamebrains.

Re: Double standard
I understand your points.
But, perception has always been about expectations.
Boller was a first round pick. The expectation is that first round selections should be major contributors to the team. The expectation was that he was the QB of the future and someone to build around. He was unfairly "given" the job as a rookie, and forced to learn on the job while the vets he had to lead around him openly questioned the decision. He wasn't ready for it but when the front office gives you the only option of a bum shouldered Chris Redman, what would you do?
Smith was a Heisman winner but as history has told us, that counts in the NFL as much as leading your 9-10 rec team to victory in Pop Warner. He was a sixth round pick. The expectation for him was that he was a third stringer with chance to learn. He wasn't being counted on even in the near future, in fact Billick bristled at even giving him a chance this year. Fate intervenes and injury allows him to play. It's certainly way too early to pronounce Smith a starter based on two games. But, at least you have some small idea of what he might bring to the table as an NFL QB.
This leads to the next point. Has Boller reached the maximum of what he is capable of? He enters year six of his career after playing 53 games and has thrown 45 TDs against 44 INTs.
As the team has reached a crossroads, is he the man to anoint the starter? I feel that it is hard to say that will true confidence. We will see into next year but, you still have 3 QBs under contract? Is McNair done? Do you try and sign a Jeff Garcia or McNabb short term? Do you allow a competition between Boller/Smith, or his Kyle the #1 and Smith the #2 into next season? I can't answer any of these things yet.
So, yes, it's a double standard. Much was expected of him and perhaps unfairly but, the question remains for me- Is he a NFL starting QB? I feel that he is a very capable backup but I'm not sure if he is the next one to lead the Ravens into a new era.

Re: Double standard
Honestly, no matter how you slice it, I don't think either one of them is TRULY the answer"IT'S NOT ATTITUDE, I'M JUST THAT GOOD!"
Re: Double standard
If the line doesn't protect, nobody is the answer at QB. That's my primary point.
Peyton Manning is a great quarterback - I think nobody disagrees. Look at his numbers when he's forced from the pocket - far from great. When his left tackle missed a game, and he was pressured on most attempts, he threw six picks. Did he suddenly become a lousy QB that day? Of course not.
People have complained about letting Anderson go, because he's done well in Cleveland. He's also been protected by a good line. Perfect example - Browns' game here. Boller was sacked six times, and hurried ten (our line didn't even show up in the first half.) in the second half, with a little protection, Boller led us to 23 points and a lead the defense blew with 16 seconds left. Anderson was sacked once, and hurried maybe five times.
When Boller gets some protection, he plays well (see New England game.) If he would ever get the protection Manning and Brady get, he'd play well consistently. His entire career here, he played first behind lines built to run block, and now a line with rookies and aging, injured veterans. I think he did a lot better this season than should have been expected with that line. 61.1% completion rate, including big plays downfield. I hope the new staff looks at his games when he got some protection, and doesn't just buy into the media and fans' line re Boller. We CAN win with him.Al
Re: Double standard
I very much agree with what your saying about the Oline and such, good points"IT'S NOT ATTITUDE, I'M JUST THAT GOOD!"
Re: Double standard
Look guys. Right now our QB situation, as big a lightning rod as the subject is, is on hold right now.
We need to actually have a Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator first. Now we're down our top two positions, and however many coaches were given the boot.
And you have NO idea what any new HC is going to think of who is here. Maybe the next HC thinks he can build the offense AROUND one of our two young QB's. Maybe he comes in and says he doesn't want ANY of them and wants to start with a new QB altogether.
Oh yeah, BTW we have this issue of whether Ogden is going to retire or not. That is going to shape the OL next year.
How about we let some other chips fall first. THEN let's fight about Boller and Smith again?

Re: Double standard
if you don't want to talk about it, then butt out. Don't tell other people what they can or can not discuss. Well, unless you are paying for the web space.
Amazingly enough the offensive line seems to have its best games when Boller is not under center. After five years you would think people would notice a trend. Boller doesn't know how to work the pocket. He can't sense pressure, he can't avoid blitzers, and he makes the line look much worse than they actually are. McNair did too when he was in this year, but McNair was playing on one leg.
Re: Double standard
When the OL is perfect and the WR's are catching any and everything in site, guys like Jeff Blake can perform.
I don't see the point of beating the "if the OL gives Boller 5 seconds every time he will be good" drum.
You can say that about every QB this city has ran out of town.
Anyway, we don't have a HC like Stinger has said and I think that is the bigger issue than another Boller Hugger thread.
Re: Double standard
Hmm. . . I think this 'double-standard' perspective might just come from the fact that one player is a turnover-prone fifth year veteran (originally a much-sacrificed-to-earn-first round pick) and the other just finished his second start.
Re: Double standard
We sacrificed for Boller at the time because our only other QB was Chris "I wasn't juiced" Redman. We were desperate, and were forced to make sacrifices to get to 19.
Boller has been a disappointment, but other teams have done worse at QB with mid-first picks and higher.
Now it is five years later. We have had long periods with Anthony Wright and Steve McNair starting under center. We had some success with McNair last year, but then he got old suddenly before the Bills game and has not been young again since. Wright was a disaster.
Anyway we are where we are. Entering next year, on paper at least, we have McNair/Boller/Smith. Which means Boller is the backup quarterback today, before the playoffs even start in 07, for the 08 season.
Meanwhile the Entire Organization is in disarray with no coaching staff, and very high ranking officials who have suddenly been effectively told they are out of the loop on key organizational decisions.
Really, it is time for people to let go of their hatred for Kyle Boller, and see him for what he is. A backup quarterback who is under contract for one more year, and who can be cut or released depending on what else goes on in the off season. During his time here other quarterbacks have been equally/more ineffective (e.g., Wright), or starting ahead of him (e.g., McNair).
There, you have the whole story. Can we let it go now, and worry about the future, instead of wringing our hands about the past?Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Colin Powell is generally considered someone you absolutely must take seriously. Having served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of State, Powell isn't someone you would expect to be doing something like taking a selfie.
It turns out that Powell might actually be one of the earliest practitioners of a hobby that is featured so heavily on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Colin's own Facebook page featured a picture he took of himself, using an old school camera and what appears to be a bedroom mirror some 60 years ago.
As CNET reports, the caption for the post read:
"Throwback Thursday – I was doing selfies 60 years before you Facebook folks. Eat your heart out Ellen! The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
The best part about the Powell selfie is that you can see the respected war veteran the young man in the old black and white will grow up to be. He's dressed to the nines with nary a stitch out of place. Colin Powell, it should be pointed out is not smiling in the photo nor making a ridiculous face such as the one where iPhone selfie fans pooch out their lips in an odd pout.
Powell is straight faced and looks ready for business wearing a vest, tie and dress pants. Despite being obviously quite a bit younger, it's quite easy to see the Powell that will become one of the most influential political figures of the early 21st century.
Now officially retired from political life, Colin Powell has seemed to feel free to allow his personal opinions and personality shine through more. Once a man who seemed comfortable being seen and heard only when absolutely necessary, Powell speaks out about political issues and problems in our world more regularly.
Powell is a registered Republican and claims he still identifies with that party. Despite Colin's political affiliation, he endorsed President Barack Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 elections over Republican candidates he had fundamental disagreements with.
In more recent days, Powell has blasted members of his party for "idiot partisanship." Despite the backlash those comments received Powell has stood by his words while also remarking on issues like the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Powell's standing in the American culture as someone who should be listened to is exactly why the 60-year-old selfie is so cool. The photo shows that Colin Powell came from somewhere just like everyone else and it demonstrates he's got a better sense of humor than most would assume.

Randall Sanchez III is a second rate shyster of the first degree.
Prior to his start in radio, and just after claiming he invented the siren, Sanchez gained some notoriety as a concert promoter in the mid-west during the early 1970's. His infamous events were largely ill-executed rip offs of major acts, including shows featuring "The Rolling Stomes" and "The Beatle" - an all wind instrument tribute trio dedicated to Ringo Starr. During the 1980's, Sanchez crossed the border, where he quickly moved up the ranks and became leader of a Mexican lime cartel. The entire operation was closed down in 1987 when Sanchez realized that "lime" was not a euphemism for "drugs," but was literally just fruit. This bored Sanchez immediately.
He returned stateside with several species of plants and insects in tow that had not earlier been introduced to the United States landscape. Over the course of about three weeks, these new species caused a major shift in the natural balance of the environment and caused almost immediate extinction of several nationally treasured indigenous creatures, most notably, the stag-moose and the shrub-ox. When asked for comment on this global news story, Sanchez simply responded, "My bad."
In the early 1990's, Sanchez opened up a chain of moderately successful religious themed mall kiosks called "The Immaculate Concessions." It is estimated that his net worth soared to over $1 billion US dollars from that venture. Sanchez decided that with his new found wealth he would return to his true passion - the music industry. On December 31, 1994, he purchased his first two radio stations: WGAS and WGAF in Mobile, Alabama. His programming and managerial tactics caused internal chaos, with the final nail in the coffin being when he flipped the stations format to "SILENCE-FM." His last broadcast was on January 1, 1995 on "The Silence Hour with R. Blanchez Sanchez III." There were no last words spoken. From 2001 to early 2014, Sanchez intermittently napped and made crank calls to local politicians.
WHJY is proud to welcome the newly refreshed, rebooted and remixed Randall Sanchez III to the air waves here in Rhode Island - now known simply as "Randy" Sanchez. In the words of Randy Sanchez: "Listen. Or don't. I don't care. You can go screw yourself. I'm a damn billionaire, hombre."

The two candidates running for the new 109th Missouri House District are both hoping to put their past experiences to work in Jefferson City, but that's where most of the similarities end.
Paul Curtman, a Republican with a Pacific address who said he recently moved to Union in order to establish residency in the new district, has served one year in the House already.
Under the old district boundaries, Curtman represented the 105th district, which included Pacific and areas of Jefferson County.
The redistricting put Curtman's Pacific address in the district of the new speaker of the Missouri House, Tim Jones.
His opponent is Democrat Ann Schroeder, a lifelong Union resident who is completing her third four-year term as Franklin County second district commissioner.
Curtman was first elected to the house in 2010.
The 31-year-old Pacific High School graduate said he first got involved in politics with the "tea party" movement.
"In July 2009, the tea party helped bring politics to more kitchen tables than it had been at before," he said.
Curtman said his interest in politics grew after he returned from active Marine Corps duty in 2004.
He said politicians who had been in favor of military action suddenly were against the wars.
Curtman said that led him to develop a deeper sensitivity to things happening in government.
"There's nothing wrong with changing your mind, but not when it is done just to get more votes," he said.
Goals for Government
Curtman said his views on limited government are more easily exercised at a higher level, such as in Jefferson City.
That's why, he said, he didn't pursue a city or county office first.
Schroeder said her decision to run for the state office was because she didn't see any other quality, local candidates.
"When this opportunity came up, I had already decided I wasn't running for (county) commissioner," she said. "But I still believe in public service. It can and should be an honorable profession."
Following the redistricting, Schroeder said, Union, her hometown, is the largest city in the 109th.
The new 109th District includes Union, Pacific and a portion of Washington.
Campaign Funding
Curtman's campaign has received over $85,000 in contributions including thousands from Jan Brunner, the wife of former U.S. Senate candidate John Brunner.
Schroeder's campaign has generated under $12,000, according to October campaign finance reports filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
She said the majority of her contributions have come from individuals.
"Sometimes it is $25. Sometimes it is $50. To those people, that represents a lot of money and it means a lot to me," Schroeder said.
Different Backgrounds
Curtman has a degree in political science from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
He worked as a financial adviser following his time in the Marines.
Curtman said he wants to use that financial experience to help the state.
"The Marines taught me you can't count on the wrong people to do the right thing," he said.
Curtman said he'll continue to run for office "as long as there are people (in Jefferson City) making poor financial decisions.
"God puts opportunities in front of me. As a Christian, it is a responsibility to do what I can," he said.
Schroeder's education includes a high school diploma from Union High and a degree in administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Before her time on the county commission, she worked in the parks departments in both Webster Groves and Union for a combined 24 years.
Schroeder said her time working as a city government employee led to her decision to get into politics.
"You have to put yourself out there for public service," she said.
Planning for Growth
The candidates differ on their views of how the state can help encourage business growth.
Curtman said the state shouldn't be risking tax dollars for economic ventures, including on tax credit programs.
"The jobs will come, we just have to get out of the way," he said. "Economic prosperity will follow the path of least resistance."
Part of Curtman's plan includes revising and eliminating state regulations and licensing requirements.
He specifically noted interior designers, which he said have to be licensed in Missouri.
"Our government should cooperate with the people, not make it harder for them," Curtman said.
Schroeder said the state needs to concentrate even more on economic development.
"The state needs to give tools to the cities and counties. It's good for all of us," she said. "It means more jobs and more revenue for schools."
Schroeder said she takes a special interest in education and county government and hopes to become involved in legislation benefitting both.
"If something comes up, I'll take it on for the good of the county," she said.
Curtman said he will champion revisions to existing family law statutes and a bill he sponsored this year to allow precious metals like gold and silver to be used as liquid equity similar to a money market account.
Schroeder said she has no specific agenda, and will instead look to champion bills benefitting the county and its residents.
"I hope to work with our other area representatives and find similarities and common ground," she said.
Curtman said being respectful of constituents and fellow representatives helps in the absence of common ground.
"I'd rather make friends than enemies. Just making sure you have class will go a long way with people," he said.

After Ramsey Elementary gun incident, focus is on support
Efforts to ensure the safety of Gateway School District students after a series of scares in recent weeks will focus on emotional support for middle and high school students and a ban on book bags at the elementary level, district officials said recently.
"The administration believes that our efforts need to focus on proactive ways to address student behaviors," Gateway spokeswoman Cara Zanella said.
"We are focusing on addressing mental and emotional health issues in our schools now and next school year, These issues directly impact student behavior and how students learn to successfully deal with adversity in school and at home."
Some parents criticized a new policy that banned book bags for students up to the fourth grade.
The policy took effect a few hours after a 6-year-old discovered a loaded gun in his book bag while at Ramsey Elementary School on April 30.
The boy's mother — Stephanie Lynn Marie Roth, 32, of Monroeville — is charged with endangering the welfare of children, reckless endangerment and possession of drug paraphernalia, all misdemeanors, police said.
District Judge Jeffrey L. Herbst released Roth without setting a bond.
Police said they suspect another person stashed the gun in the book bag.
University Park Elementary parent Bobbie Robak said she's worried the new policy will result in her daughter leaving a book or homework on the bus.
"Why should students be punished when the student (at Ramsey Elementary) did the right thing by alerting a teacher?" Robak asked
Superintendent Nina Zetty said district officials considered the ban because children come to school with knives in their bags from weekend camping or fishing excursions.
"I know parents will feel this is a knee-jerk reaction, but we have been thinking about this and talking about it, and now is the time," Zetty said.
Some parents have suggested at recent school board meetings that metal detectors or additional security be added at one or more of the Gateway schools.
Administrators have researched the value of metal detectors in neighboring school districts and determined the equipment and manpower wouldn't necessarily stop a highly unusual event, such as the April 9 knife attack on 21 people at Franklin Regional High School, Zanella said.
"At this time, the district will not be pursuing metal-detector installation at any of the Gateway schools," Zanella said.
"It is our belief that, for the time being, metal detectors are not the right choice for our schools."

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Lolcats Replacement
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit User:PeregrineFalcon999/new article draft
I saw the article on Lolcats, and thought I could do a rewrite. I've got the concept set (i think), the basic content done, and all the pictures ready. However, as you can see it is very short and this makes it look ugly with the pictures squished together. Any suggestions for expansion? I need them. Some Idiot 10:03, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, and if you want to know, the first picture is actually different pretty much every time you go onto the page. --220.127.116.11 21:44, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
Putting it up onto the top of the queue because I want it reviewed... --Some Idiot 06:16, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
Aight ima do this, only cause i want to get in the TOP 5 of July and only got half a day left to, and just need one more review. --Happymonkey39 Dah Meme Master 19:55, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
|Ugh, this one is a bit of a doozy for me. I mean, i know your a great writer and all, but this article isn't your best work. I see how you tried to make it funny, it just didn't happen for me. You last made me literally lol a lot. This one, it made me chuckle here and there.
One main thing you missed out on were links...which confuses the hell out of me since you overdid them last time. I guess links are your problem in writing, mine is always grammar. Anyhow, contrary to last time i suggest you through in a few links, cause the page only has two (other then the table on the side). Again, a good thing to do would be those links that lead to something different. For example, you wrote the devil, followed by a sentence about 2nd grade. You can take out that sentence, and make the devil link say "Your geography teacher", like so. Devil. Sometimes the links are red, meaning there isn't a page like that, in which case you may want to find a similar link, but if you must, leave it. Another example could be thepart where it says geeky bill gates. Instead write: ...some Nerd. These are always better and will light your page up with links galore!
The first to quotes suck. I'm sorry to be rude, but they truly do. Change them. Maybe instead of the Hahaha, you could put a WTF? or even a classy lolwut? The first one is simply to obvious, it has to go. Maybe replace it with something to do with bad grammar or speaking Engrish.
The Garfield joke is a from of personal opinion and should not be used as a joke. I'm no Garfield lover, but a different caption should be used.
I like you sudden humor on how they are deadly, it's very unexpected, but at the same time it's what brought your article to it's knees, as said below.
|Ok heres the problem with the article. I can't find the concept. At the beginning you say they are funny and common and then eventually they become a global disaster. If this article had a time-line then it would make more sense, but it really doesn't. That is the biggest problem of this article, it's confusing and a bit pointless, since there isn't a meaning.
Another thing is that it doesn't have a reference to icanhascheezebruger.com, which it really should. Somewhere in the creation it should be mentioned, as some kind of joke or not.
This article is also all facts, and i hate to see that happen. Yes, jokes are here and there, but it trails on, only facts, no fiction...well except the killing humans thing.
You have a loldog picture with a short caption, yet loldogs are never mentioned in you article whatsoever, you should either ditch the picture or add something on loldogs.
On a last note (for this section), the article is rather short. Some articles are meant to be short, some are not. Memes and famous people, always must be long. Articles with messed up titles or UnNews, tend to be short. LOLcats are memes, therefor should be long, very long. You might even want to check out this page
|Prose and formatting:
|You did fine here. The page is neat and tidy, and no spelling or grammar errors that in sight. Yet again, im not the person that's good with that stuff, for a spell-check, use Microsoft word.
Only problem that i can see is that the first picture(s) is always too big. Make it smaller.
|Eh, images are satisfactory. The ones at the beginning are good, however i don't like the loldog and Garfield pictures. Also you may want to add some more here and there, that is of course if you can make the page longer first.
|(averaged scores) A quick mistake i found is that you said your playing wow and you get an e-mail...you can't read e-mails while playing WOW...well I'm pretty sure, i tried the week trial, and i don't remember anything on e-mails.
|Final Score:
|This wasn't your greatest work. I know your a great writer and i suggest you look over this one and add more jokes to it. I like your irony and your unexpected jokes, so keep that work up!

Why Ghost Can't Make It
Granted, Ghostface Killah's new album won't be out – in stores, at least – for another week or so, but I'm going to go ahead and assume it will fail miserably. It hit Internets file sharing networks late this week and I reviewed it on my own site yesterday.
Like I said in my review, I find it to be a pretty good album, falling in his catalog somewhere between 2001's Bulletproof Wallets, definitely his worst album, and 2004's The Pretty Toney Album, which was incredible.
Ghost's albums ranked in order from best to worst:
- Supreme Clientele
- Ironman
- The Pretty Toney Album
- Fishscale
- Bulletproof Wallets
I wonder if people will beg to differ as far as those first three are concerned. I think an argument could be made for putting Pretty Toney number two, but I think (I hope) we can agree that Supreme Clientele is Ghost's best album by far. He still does like 3/4 of it in concert, compared to like one or two songs from most of his other albums and maybe nothing from Bulletproof Wallets.
[Note that I'm aware that Bulletproof Wallets was severly hamstrung by sample clearance issues and other issues with Ghost's label. I'd still rather listen to 718.]
Of course most of the people at my site disagree, but then my site is frequented by assholes and idiots. Most (basically all) of them haven't heard it yet, but the tendency is to want to believe that it's even better than The Pretty Toney Album. After all, XXL itself gave it an XL rating, and they don't just hand those out.
But regardless of where you think Fishscale ranks in the Ironman canon, I think it's about obvious at this point the album is poised to fail commercially just like its immediate predecessor. The Pretty Toney Album wasn't nearly as challeging a work, to use a euphemism, and that shit went wood like a mofo. You can't help but wonder if this is the end of an era.
I don't have the figures in front of me, but you'd have to assume that an album like Fishscale costs quite a bit to produce. It's got like 23 tracks on it, and most if not all of them feature at least one, if not multiple samples. Part of Ghost's problem with his old label Epic was that they didn't want to shell out for so many samples. Maybe they knew something Def Jam didn't.
I don't know how many more albums Ghostface's deal with Def Jam calls for, but I wonder how many more times he can put out an album like Fishscale before Jay-Z has Memphis Bleek leave a note on his desk (on a Friday, of course) telling him his services are no longer needed.

Characterisation of sugarcane juice particles that influence the clarification process
Thai, Caroline C.D. & Doherty, William O.S. (2012) Characterisation of sugarcane juice particles that influence the clarification process. In Bruce, Robin (Ed.) Proceedings of the Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists, Cairns, Qld.. (In Press)
Submitted Version
(PDF 273kB)
Problems associated with processing whole sugarcane crop can be minimised by removing impurities during the clarification stage. As a first step, it is important to understand the colloidal chemistry of juice particles on a molecular level to assist development strategies for effective clarification performance. This paper presents the composition and surface characteristics of colloidal particles originating from various juice types by using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and zeta potential measurements. The composition and surface characteristics of colloidal juice particles are reported. The results indicate that there are three types of colloidal particles present viz., an aluminosilicate compound, silica and iron oxide, with the latter two being abundant. Proteins, polysaccharides and organic acids were identified on the surface of particles in juice. The overall particle charge varies from –2 mV to –6 mV. In comparison to juice expressed from burnt cane, the zeta potential values were more negative with juice particles originating from whole crop. This in part explains why these juices are difficult to clarify.

A rendering bug is experienced on Windows 7 x64 on Intel Core i5 with Intel HD 2000 graphic subsystem, where using the full-screen menu, invoked by left-clicking "+ Menu" button causes panels to be partially or completely invisible. It is possible to minimize and restore Reor to reveal those panels. To work around this bug, use the alternative menu by right-clicking on "+ Menu" button and never use. Alternatively, invoke panels using keyboard shortcuts. It is not possible to use the shortcut keys as rapidly as it is possible to do so in other apps, such as Microsoft Word. For example, the shortcut for the unit converter is Ctrl+U and for the format toolbox, it is Ctrl+K. However, to invoke both, holding down Ctrl, tapping U and then tapping K does not work! You need to hold Ctrl, tap U, let go of Ctrl, hold Ctrl again, tap K and let go of Ctrl again. Reor always remains on top, does not show itself on the taskbar and minimizes to that cursed area known as "system tray". Its Linq feature is a poor replacement for a proper jump list.

Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants
Reviews Home
Hein Gericke opened his business in Düsseldorf, Germany in
1970. The company has grown dramatically since then, becoming what is
probably the best known motorcycle clothing brand name in Europe.
Although Hein Gericke apparel has been
sold in the U.S.A. since 1978, the brand has not been
well recognized by American motorcyclists. This
may be due to their focus on European styling in the
land of the cruiser, or it may have been caused by a
lethargic distribution system.
35 years in the motorcycle clothing
business is a couple of lifetimes of agony, for sure,
and the fact that they're still here and growing
certainly says something for the product.
The Hein Gericke brand has always been
known for style and innovation. Many younger
motorcyclists probably don't realize that there was a
time when the only motorcycle available with a factory
designed fairing was the late '70's version of the BMW
R100RS. The availability of motorcycle clothing
that was specifically designed and tailored for
motorcycle riding was just as rare. Motorcycle
clothing with Lorica, Gore-Tex, Cordura, Kevlar, armor
and carbon fiber were so far in the future that they
weren't even conceivable.
The Hein Gericke line of motorcycle
clothing was radically different, and people gawked over
the photos of black and shapely leather in European
magazines, wondering if they had the nerve - or body
shape - to wear it.
Hein Gericke was also on the leading
edge of mass marketing, distribution, retail and
advertising in those days, long before the global
economy, the Internet and even cable TV. I was of
mixed minds regarding their products; I couldn't figure
out if the stuff was for real or for poseurs.
The brand had its ups and downs, but
today's cutthroat market suffers no fools, and with
their huge product line, the brand is as popular as ever
in Europe and starting to make their mark in the U.S.A.
Several Hein Gericke clothing items have earned Ride
(UK) magazine's "Recommended" or "Best Buy" tags,
so we decided it was time to take a look for ourselves.
Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants
Of all the different combinations of pants and jackets
laying around the webBikeWorld offices -- and there are
many -- I have a few favorites. Whenever I'm
working in the garage in a pair of jeans and need to
make a run down to the hardware store, I reach for my
old pair of
Tourmaster overpants. I've worn them
for several years and although they have a few faults,
their ease of use wins the day.
Overpants aren't the most glamorous
apparel item one could wear, but I have to say that with
all the specialized gear we have laying around here that
a good pair of overpants is one of the items I simply
could not do without.
One of the big drawbacks of the old
Tourmasters is that they're hot, hot, hot. They
have no ventilation and the nylon lining sure doesn't
help. I've been on the lookout for quite some time
for what I imagined was the "perfect" pair of overpants
- easy to put on and take off, good quality, good
protection, with lots of good air flow and something to
keep out the water when necessary.
I searched high and low, and came up
empty until these Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants.
They're just the ticket: zippers from ankle to waist to
make them easy to slide on over boots and jeans; wide
adjustable waistband; loads of mesh in the thigh and
seat; and a "Sheltex" detachable membrane to make them
Bonus points for CE-approved knee armor;
a two year warranty; reflective piping and Hein
Gericke's "Safe Stich", which is a three-level stitching
method to help prevent unraveling in a crash.
The Cargo Overpants are available in
men's sizes 30 to 44. European designed clothing
used to be way too narrow for our corn-fed physiques.
But to be successful, modern apparel manufacturers now
know that they have to tailor their sizing for the
The pants shown here are size 38 and
they are, in our opinion, exactly size 38, so they
apparently run true to size. I have a 36" waist,
and the pants are slightly too large for me, so the 36
would have been perfect.
The Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants seem
well made and they have some heft, weighing in at 4
pounds including the liner. They're made from a
ballistic nylon that feels like a soft Cordura-type
The pants have no front pockets; only a rear wallet
pocket, measuring about 130 mm wide by 130 mm deep (5"
by 5"). Each leg has a front cargo pocket,
measuring about 170 mm wide (6-1/2") by 220 mm deep
Each pocket has a flap with full-length "hook and
loop" fastener, and a few rubberized nubs on one corner
make it easy to grab. The pockets aren't
Stretchy knee panels and wide belt
adjusters add to the comfort factor. I've noticed
more manufacturers offering adjustable waistbands and
generous amounts of stretch fabric lately, which is a
good trend.
The Sheltex liner attaches with a
full-length zipper inside the waist and three snaps at
the cuff. Both the pants and the liner have
full-length zippers. It's easy to slide the pants
on and off over a pair of boots when the zippers are
opened up about 2/3 of the way up the leg.
The liner uses an interesting type of
zipper that seems to be coming into vogue with removable
motorcycle clothing liners. When the zipper is
pulled, it appears to be catching on the fabric, but it
somehow closes a membrane that covers the zipper teeth
and helps to keep out the moisture.
The styling of the pants is subdued,
which is a good thing, because they probably won't look
dated any time soon as might happen with a more radical
design. There are a few panels of reflective
material here and there, but they are well integrated
into the design and not really noticeable until
illuminated at night.
One of the tradeoffs is the elimination
of any padding in the hips or rear. Padding in
these areas would probably decrease the amount of air
that can flow through the mesh, which is located mostly
on the thighs and rear of the pants. The knees do
have Hein Gericke's "Turtle" armor, which is removable
and also seems to be very comfortable.
The armor in these size 38 pants falls
slightly below my knee, and I think the size 36 would
again be perfect. Don't forget that armor will
only do its job when it stays in place, so a snug fit is
best. Most riders I've come across wear their
clothing at least one size too big. Baggy is not
better with motorcycle clothing!
The Hein Gericke Cargo Overpants are well made and have
just about every feature I can think of to make them my
new favorite. I wear them over jeans and I haven't
noticed any problems.
If you can only afford one pair of
motorcycle pants, overpants are probably the style for
you because of their versatility. And these are as
versatile as they get, because the mesh allows good air
flow and the liner blocks the wind and water for nastier
days. The list price is $199.95, which is very
reasonable, especially considering their all-season
