As of Monday, May 14 here are the ranking of teams in the two professional leagues under MLS, the North American Soccer League (NASL) and the United Soccer Leagues Professional Division (USL-Pro), in terms of average home attendance:
- San Antonio Scorpions: 10934 [NASL]
- Rochester Rhinos: 7953 [USL-Pro]
- Orlando City: 7681 [USL-Pro]
- Atlanta Silverbacks: 4301 [NASL]
- Minnesota Stars: 4185 [NASL]
- Wilmington Hammerheads: 4070 [USL-Pro]
- Charleston Battery: 3745 [USL-Pro]
- Fort Lauderdale Strikers: 3483 [NASL]
- Richmond Kickers: 3224 [USL-Pro]
- Carolina Railhawks: 3147 [NASL]
- Tampa Bay Rowdies: 3030 [NASL]
- Harrisburg City Islanders: 1223 [USL-Pro]
- Los Angeles Blues: 1217 [USL-Pro]
- FC Edmonton: 1197 [NASL]
- Antigua Barracuda FC: 1067 [USL-Pro]
- Puerto Rico Islanders: 1019 [NASL]
- Dayton Dutch Lions: 882 [USL-Pro]
- Pittsburgh Riverhounds: 784 [USL-Pro]
- Charlotte Eagles: 702 [USL-Pro]
As of Monday, May 14 here are the averages for each of the two leagues:
- USL-Pro: 87223 total over 35 games makes a 2492 average per game.
- USL-Pro team median is 1223.
- The average of the top half (teams above the median) in the USL-Pro is 5335.
- NASL: 101041 total over 26 games makes a 3886 average per game.
- NASL team median is 3315.
- The average of the top half (teams above median) in the NASL is 5726.
These compiled data point to the fact that while the NASL has a higher average attendance, several USL-Pro clubs can hold their own and impress in a national comparison.
Though I am a fervent supporter of a USL-Pro club, I am not one for the bickering between leagues. I find it very good news that one half of the top ten teams in terms of attendance are from each league respectively. However, it troubles me that six of the bottom eight teams are from USL-Pro, including all the teams currently drawing an average under 1000. Both the Dayton Dutch Lions and Charlotte Eagles have played matches at multiple sites and neither team nor the Pittsburgh Riverhounds has its own soccer specific stadium.
Speaking of stadium facilities, Atlanta Silverbacks deserve a round of applause for routinely reaching or approaching the capacity of Silverbacks Park. Though the team itself has come under some scrutiny for its overtly abrasive style and physical dramatics, the fan-base in Atlanta consistently packs into the stadium to support their team. Kudos there.
San Antonio Scorpions are experiencing the boom of expansion fever impressively drawing five figures to Heroes Stadium. As of this week, they continue to draw a higher average than the New England Revolution of MLS (10934 for SAS vs 10394 for NER). Without wanting to disparage the organizational efforts in San Antonio, these figures are unlikely to hold up but the team will still probably end the season with the highest attendance.

John Jamail, the Eastern Ohio Art Guild's first director, has resigned from the position.
"First, I want to thank again all the members in the Eastern Ohio Art Guild who worked so diligently with me to put together our first ever Art Center," he said, "a beautiful place to display and sell your art, a place to teach art classes, and a place that enhances Cambridge's downtown. The Art Center is now up and running, and with nearly 30 artists displaying their work, it will be able to sustain itself indefinitely, as a new volunteer art director is chosen."
Jamail reflected on the creation of the Art Center.
"Since last September when the EOAG decided to start an Art Center, we invested a great deal of time and energy to bring this about, thanks to all the volunteers," he said. "We found an appropriate location; scrubbed, painted, and fixed up; had an influx of generous charter members and community donations and a grand opening on Nov. 3, 2006. Rack cards for advertisement were designed, printed and distributed to various locations around town, to motels, and to all the road side rest areas. The Art Center has conducted a variety of classes, and hosted art shows with another being planned in the fall."
Praise for the Art Center has come from many visitors, both local and out-of-town. Recently, the Art Center received notice that their grant application for a fall after school art program will be funded by a TANF Award for $2,500.
"We have even been visited by an out-of-town art gallery who wanted to learn about our business model," noted Jamail.
Jamail said he must step down due to pressing business matters.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the excitement, growth, and development of our art center," he explained. "Unfortunately, I now have other personal business matters that require my time and attention, so I must tender my resignation as of June 30, 2007. I feel there are many qualified persons in the guild who can fill this position, and I will work for a smooth transition with the new director. We should all be very proud of our combined efforts, and look forward to continued community support and growth of the EOAG Art Center."
Business hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours on First Fridays.

Today is Day 6 of my Descensus Averni ritual. I have to admit, I passed out last night without doing the ritual. I think fasting and then gorging myself afterwards took its toll on me. I have debated whether to break my fast before or after the ritual. I'm not sure which would be more [Read More…]

Committee Charge and Membership
Position Table
Position Request Form
Library Executive Committee
January 8, 2007
1:30-3:00, 428 Library
Present: Karen Schmidt, Chair; Chris Prom, Vice-Chair; Cindy Ingold, Secretary; Tim Cole, Michael Norman, Nancy O'Brien, Janice Pilch, Lynne Rudasill, John Wagstaff;; Recording- Kim Matherly
1. Question Time
There was a question about the meeting arrangements of certain divisions. Karen will contact the appropriate individuals.
EC continued its discussion of the new reporting process for annual reviews, and agreed this was a Faculty Review Committee (FRC) issue. EC recommended we discuss this at the February 6 faculty meeting. In the meantime, Lynne Rudasill, a member of FRC, will poll the committee to see if there is consensus concerning the new process, and whether we need to set up a separate meeting to discuss this. We also need to update our Bylaws so they conform to Communication 21: Annual Faculty Review.
Karen was asked if she had any updates about the Global Campus. She did not. She will update the Library faculty and staff when she has more information.
2. Women's Studies Move to Social Sciences Division
Karen had sent EC an email summarizing her meeting with the Area Studies Division (ASD) to discuss the Women and Gender Resources position moving to the Social Sciences Division (SSD). The ASD accepted the position's move to the SSD. EC advised Karen to send an email to LIBFAC asking for input about the proposed change.
3. ICR Request-Ensemble Project
Discussion postponed until next meeting.
4. December 1 Position Requests-continued discussion
EC continued its discussion. We received some comments from faculty on these requests. EC discussed in detail the positions with the highest rankings, and tentatively approved two positions. A third position was approved, pending input from another committee. We will continue the discussion at our next meeting.
Discussion postponed until next meeting.
EC discussed how Visiting Faculty are evaluated for annual reviews. There is some confusion about how this is done from year to year, but Tim Cole noted that FRC has evaluated visiting faculty in all three areas at least for the last several years. The process does need to be clearly articulated, and visiting faculty do need to know when they are hired how they will be evaluated for annual reviews. Karen will talk to Paula about this.
Discussion postponed until next meeting.

Strapping into a modified Mustang or Sea
Fury sounds like a lot of fun. Fans and pilots alike watch the Reno
National Championship Air Races from the grandstands or the pits and
quietly wish it was them out there. Sure - it's one thing to say and
wish that, but it's another to realize the cost, sacrifice and
environment you are wishing to be in. Do you really want to push a
Merlin to 140 inches and 3,400 rpm? Do you really want to fly at 100
feet and 490 mph with several other aircraft?
The big names of unlimited air racing have shared their experiences and outlook so you can make up your mind.
|Bob Hoover - Pace and Safety Pilot - P-51D Mustang
"I think the most significant thing is be calm. Don't think you're the only person that gets excited. I don't know of any aviator that's in a crisis that isn't excited. The important thing is to really control that excitement. You've got to be on top of things at all times.
You need to be thinking, 'What am I going to do if this happens?' You don't just have an engine failure, you have something else that comes with it; oil all over the windshield, fire, or smoke it the cockpit. Any number of things could spell disaster for you. If you think it all out, that's a big step in the right direction.
I remember one occasion when Rick Brickert was on fire in Dago Red. I mean, he really had a bad one. He was covered in oil and smoke, and he had jettisoned his canopy. I was sitting right there on his wing, and I'm telling you he couldn't see anything. I was telling him to turn left, now back to the right, easy does it... Talked him right through it. It took 13 minutes for the fire trucks to get to him on the runway. But he had done everything correctly."
|Brian Sanders - "Dreadnought" Super Sea Fury
"You want somebody who's willing to take a bit of a chance, but knows the limitations. It's what they talk about with a fighter pilot. You don't want somebody out there, as they say, with their hair on fire. You don't want to make a bad decision and not only jeopardize your life, but somebody else's. But you want to be aggressive. There's a fine balance there.
You've got to be able to fly formation and watch the guys on both sides of you. You're primary objective is not to hit the guy you're following; but you can't always trust the guy that's on your wing. It's a difficult thing to keep an eye out on both sides of you. Then things get more complicated... You're turning on systems, bringing the power up, closing the coolant doors, bringing the water on, monitoring pressures and temperatures. All the while you're flying formation and coming down the chute. It can get pretty busy.
I was in it at full power, and I was seeing the most horsepower we've ever seen in Dreadnought - 75 inches and 3,000 rpm. It was pulling some really good manifold pressure. The most I had seen before was 72 inches. I was pulling enough MP so the temperature on the plugs started to break them down. I heard a tone change in the airplane, and then it backfired through the carburetor. It sneezed hard. It's impressive from the cockpit, but it didn't throw me around or anything. I told Dennis, 'I'm getting out of it," which was an unfortunate choice of words. What I meant was I was getting out of the power. Everybody with a radio thought I was going to bail out of the airplane. I have the distinction of backfiring Dreadnought twice, and still get chided about it."
|Skip Holm - Multiple Unlimited Racers
"I think you have to spend ten percent of your time flying and the rest enjoying it. Otherwise, you're never gonna win. You're never gonna get around. Also, you can't be flying the airplane now, you've got to be flying it ten to fifteen seconds ahead of you. If you don't do that, the airplane won't go. Finally; it's better to be lucky. When I was flying Stiletto, I wore a shirt that said, 'Better to be lucky than good.' The owner of the airplane, Alan Preston, had a shirt that said, 'Better to be rich than lucky.'
Ninety percent of the guys out there could never fly a race and win, because they don't have the skills to push the power up. They're too afraid to die or that somebody is going to kill them. It's kind of an individual spirit thing. There's only one guy in there; you don't see a four man racer.
In Tsunami, at the start of Sunday's race, I almost ran it into the hill out there because the trim ran away on it. I stopped racing, initially, and I pulled the power off of it. After I got the trim all squared away, I had only come up to 90 inches and 3,200 rpm on the first lap. I only got a half lap behind at that power setting, which kind of amazed me. It also surprised me that nobody else passed me.
The second test flight I did in Tsunami, I had asked JR how fast he'd had the airplane. He said .8 Mach and 460 knots.. So I take the airplane up over the top of the airport and start diving it down across the runway. I was doing 447 - 450 indicated, and about .78 Mach. About 50 feet over the runway, the airplane just exploded. The whole bottom scoop came off the airplane, and it scattered pieces from one end of the airport to the other. I pulled up and landed. JR asked how fast I had the airplane going, and I said 447 and .78. He said, 'What!?!? We've never had the airplane that fast before!' I reminded him he told me it had been to .8 and 450. JR said, 'Yeah, but I was lying.'"
|Bill "Rhino" Rheinschild - "Risky Business" P-51D Mustang
"People think that race pilots are reckless, but that's not what I think. I think that race pilots are very precalculated. You're flying - obviously - very fast and very close to the ground. You use your tremendous hand-eye coordination, quicker reflexes, and putting all the things you've learned to use.
There are a lot of race pilots that we know about that probably don't have great pilot skills or ability. Some of them are no longer with us. Some of them are very good friends of mine. Most of the old race pilots are ex-military. Tiger, myself and Billy Speer were probably among the few non-military unlimited air racers.
Rick Brickert and I didn't get along 100 percent of the time, but he was a very good person. All of us basically watched him crash in the Pond Racer. He, apparently, had a double engine failure and wasn't able to bring the aircraft back to the field. That was a tragedy. I still feel like I can pick up the phone and call him, like it didn't really happen. But he's really no longer here. That's pretty difficult; not because I'm afraid it's going to happen to me. It just takes a lot of the fire out of it. Is air racing that much fun to lose your life?
When I go out there, I'm thinking this the most stupid thing in the world. This is a tremendous waste of energy, time and effort, and there is absolutely no reason to be out here because it's not even fun any more. By the time you join up, you're heart rate is a little higher, and now it's pretty cool. This is ok! This is worth it now. To think about all the great aviators that have preceded me in this exact same position in the sky. It's such an honor to be there. By the time you're coming down the chute, it's 'Look out, sucker!' During the race, it's the longest and shortest period of time. Why are these laps taking so long to finish? When it's over, you wonder 'what happened?'"
|Bill "Tiger" Destefani - "Strega" P-51D Mustang
"I think it's more than just flying, 'cause there are some pilots up there that got a lot of hours - thousands of hours - that simply can't fly the pylons. There are some up there who don't have thousands of hours, but they can fly the pylons. When it comes to racing, I think it comes down to having the will to win. We understand that you have to have definite pilot skills - that's a known. The ability to open your mind up and learn from the guys that have already done it. If you have those two attitudes, you can do it. You gotta look - and watch - all the time.
I only go to win. That's the only reason that keeps me racing. The headaches of running a racer, putting up with 12 different minds, different crew attitudes, putting up with all that bullshit over as many years as I've done it. The only reward is when you're coming down the chute and you put that thing to full power. So "competitive" is the only reason I go out. I only go to win.
The best mayday I had was when we blew an engine completely up. I've got it wicked up to 120 inches and calling for the qualifying clock coming around the backside at pylons five and six. At about six, it goes 'bruuuuuup!' No big deal... I just started climbing and circle to the left, and I'm looking good to come right around on 14. I'm watching - all the time watching... I'm trying to get it slowed down to gear speed, and pull the nose up even more. I hit 170 and select gear down, and then the engine quits totally. I lay it over to the left and I'm headed for that runway and about one-third of the way down it. I start feeling a pull on my shoulder straps. This thing is decelerating. What I don't know is the engine is totally blown up. There's no more pressure to the propeller, and the blades have gone to flat pitch.
So now I'm committed. I'm not going to want any flaps now. I'll save them until the last second. The Mustang propeller in flat pitch is equal to full flaps. I keep nosing it over, nosing it over to probably thirty degrees to maintain speed. And it's still decelerating! About halfway down, I'm thinking, 'Jesus... I hope I can make the overrun!' All kinds of smoke is coming off of the right side of the engine, so I pull the fire handle on the right side. I washed the window once. I don't know if I am going to make it. I'm coming, I'm looking, I'm flaring, I'm holding, I'm holding, and I see the black of the runway.
From the point I see the black to the time I touch is one second. The only reason I know that is we got film. Then I pulled the left fire extinguisher. That was the hairiest one."
|Lyle Shelton - "Rare Bear" F8F Bearcat
"You need to have a competitive nature, a competitive instinct. You have to have a background in demanding flying; crop dusting, military flying or some pretty hard aerobatic flying. You have to maneuver in a gaggle safely. You have to observe some of the basic safety rules that become second nature in military formation flying.
The cockpit is a hostile environment, that's for sure. We thought it was about 160 degrees in there, but we've rigged it so it isn't so hot any more. The noise; you can hardly hear the radio the engine is so loud. A lot of times you miss transmissions because it's kind of garbled and there's so damn much noise. I find that when I'm really working, like the 1991 race, I was gasping for oxygen. I couldn't get enough oxygen for my body.
At the top end, it gets to be a two-handed affair. The controls get pretty stiff at speed. If you're running 450 up at Reno, one hand is ok. But you get up around 480, and now you're two hands on the stick to control the airplane. The -51 has stiffer ailerons, so I know damn well those guys have two hands on the stick up in those speed ranges.
My 1992 engine failure was one of the hairiest ones I ever had. I got a pretty good bang out of the engine on the west side of the course. Coming up the north side it started popping and banging pretty good, and I knew it was all over. I declared a mayday and pulled up, got the prop back and started looking around at where I was going to put it down. I've been there. It certainly wasn't the first time I had gotten into a deal.
I was coming off where I could either come back in on 14 or the closed runway, 17. I turned back to the south, but the engine was shaking so badly. I was letting it idle, so if you need a little nudge of power to help you over the fence, it's there. This damn thing was shaking so badly, I jerked the mag switch off and shut it down. My sink rate picked up, so I wasn't sure I could make 14, so I turned into 17, which is wrong way with the world out there. I kept about 160 knots and made the runway alright. It was all business; I was as busy as I could be. It had my full, undivided attention."

The Flying O.H.N.O. Twins can explain, and will tonight at BMoCA
The Flying O.H.N.O. Twins do a lot of things, but it's also kind of hard to explain exactly what they do. Since the end of September, Donald Fodness and Alvin Gregorio's (they're the twins, you know) installation Shut Your Face Off has been intriguing and mildly confusing people at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art with a combination of found objects, video projection, sculpture and two really large heads, one of which is also a meditation chamber.
It all has something to do with social media and the fragmentation of consciousness in a continually connected postmodern landscape -- as evidenced by Face Off: An Endurance Challenge, a performance-art tie-in to the installation back in November that had the twins facing off in a tofu dog-eating contest while communicating via Facebook, among other random events. Again, compelling, but kind of baffling. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with absurdity for absurdity's sake.
All the same, there's a message lurking underneath all that randomness, and if your interest is sufficiently piqued to make the trek to Boulder, Fodness and Gregorio will be happy to shed a little light on the subject tonight at 7 p.m. at BMoCA's Artist Talk with the pair, where they'll chat about where they're coming from and what they do. It's free for members and just $5 for non-members.
You might learn something, if you can pay attention long enough with your fragmented consciousness and everything.

DATE: December 28, 2001
TO: Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee members
FROM: Marc Cavaillé-Coll, M.D.,Ph.D.
Medical Team Leader
Division of Special Pathogen and Immunologic Drug Products
SUBJECT: Clinical/Statistical Background Information for January 24, 2002 Advisory Committee Meeting
Drug name: Rapamune® (sirolimus) Oral Solution
Indication: Cyclosporine withdrawal at 2 to 4 months after transplantation
Applicant: Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories
Rapamune® (sirolimus) Oral Solution was approved in 1999 for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients receiving renal transplants. It is recommended that Rapamune be used in a regimen with cyclosporine and corticosteroids. A daily maintenance oral dose of 2 mg is recommended for use in renal transplant patients, with a loading dose of 6 mg. Although a daily maintenance dose of 5 mg, with a loading dose of 15 mg was used in clinical trials of the oral solution and was shown to be safe and effective, no efficacy advantage over the 2 mg dose could be established for renal transplant recipients. Patients receiving 2 mg of Rapamune Oral Solution per day demonstrated an overall better safety profile than did patients receiving 5 mg of Rapamune Oral Solution per day. In controlled clinical trials with concomitant cyclosporine, and corticosteroids, mean sirolimus whole blood concentrations, as measured by immunoassay, were 9 ng/mL (range 4.5-14 ng/mL [10th to 90th percentile]) for the 2 mg/day treatment group, and 17 ng/mL (range 10-28 ng/mL [10th to 90th percentile]) for the 5 mg/day dose. (See current approved package insert included in the Appendix to this memorandum).
A brief description of the phase III clinical trials that supported this approval is included in the Clinical Studies section of the approved package insert. More information on FDA's analyses of these studies is included in the July 19, 1999, memorandum to the Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee, which is included in the Appendix to this memorandum. In phase III studies, mean serum creatinine was increased and mean glomerular filtration rate was decreased in patients treated with Rapamune and cyclosporine compared to those treated with cyclosporine and azathioprine or placebo controls (See Tables XII to XIX of the July 19, 1999 memorandum). It was observed in those double blind studies that mean whole blood trough cyclosporine concentrations tended to remain at or above the upper limit of the protocol specified target concentrations ranges through the first 12 months post transplantation. However, there were no significant differences in cyclosporine doses or trough levels across the treatment groups.
II. Proposed Labeling Change
The applicant is proposing to modify this indication to allow consideration of cyclosporine withdrawal at 2 to 4 months after transplantation. To support the proposed change the applicant has submitted the results of two clinical studies that evaluated the safety and efficacy of cyclosporine withdrawal while using concentration-controlled sirolimus, study 310 and study 212. In study 310 the dosage of sirolimus was increased after cyclosporine withdrawal, and adjusted to maintain whole blood trough concentrations (measured by immunoassay) in the range of 20 to 30 ng/mL. In study 212 the dosage of sirolimus was increased after cyclosporine withdrawal, and adjusted to maintain whole blood trough concentrations (measured by immunoassay) in the range of 10 to 20 ng/mL. The applicant is recommending a target concentration range of 15 to 25 ng/mL (immunoassay) for concentration-controlled sirolimus, when used without cyclosporine. We are in general agreement with the applicant's description of these studies and the reported results in their Summary for the FDA Advisory Committee.
III. FDA Analyses
The analyses that we will present at the advisory committee meeting will focus on renal function (calculated glomerular filtration rate [GFR]), rates of acute rejection after cyclosporine discontinuation, patient and graft survival, as well as the safety profile of the regimens, with special emphasis on the types of adverse events that are associated with sirolimus or cyclosporine.
It is noted that the proposed therapeutic window for sirolimus is similar to the range of concentrations observed in the groups treated with 5 mg of sirolimus per day in the earlier phase III studies, and would represent a higher exposure to sirolimus than observed at the approved recommended dose of 2 mg per day (See Blood Concentration Monitoring in the DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION section of the appended approved package insert). Particular attention will be paid to decreases in platelets and hemoglobin and elevation of triglycerides and cholesterol that occurred in a dose related manner in patients receiving sirolimus in the earlier phase III studies.
The overall exposure to cyclosporine measured as whole blood trough concentrations was lower during the months prior to randomization and in patients randomized to cyclosporine maintenance in open-label studies 310 and 212 compared to the exposures observed in the earlier double blind phase III studies. In studies 212 and 310, the majority of the patients maintained whole blood cyclosporine concentrations within the targeted concentration range. Despite lower cyclosporine concentrations, the calculated GFR in the groups treated with sirolimus and cyclosporine were similar to those observed in the earlier phase III studies (See Tables 18.104.22.168A and 184.108.40.206B in the applicant's summary).
The applicant's summary analyses of renal function include only observed mean values for on-therapy patients. Therefore patients who may have discontinued study drug or dropped out due to worsening renal function and/or rejection are not included in these analyses. Exploratory sensitivity analyses using standard approaches to account for missing observations will be presented.
Episodes of acute rejection are a potential concern after randomization to cyclosporine withdrawal. In both study 310, and 212 an excess of acute rejection episodes were observed in the first few months after cyclosporine withdrawal compared to those who remained on sirolimus, cyclosporine and corticosteroids. Lack of statistically significant differences in rates of acute rejection after randomization do not allow one to assume that the rates are equivalent or that one is not inferior to the other. There may have been insufficient power to exclude a clinically significant difference. Overall, one may not be able to reliably exclude that cyclosporine withdrawal was inferior to cyclosporine maintenance, with respect to occurrence of acute rejection, because of the multiple comparisons, the low rate of events and relatively small sample size. Analyses of the effect of rejection on renal function will be considered.
The open-label design creates a potential for bias in the assessment and comparison of rates of acute rejection, because the investigator who is informed of the treatment assignment may make treatment or diagnostic decisions that ultimately influence the rate of rejection. Thus, differences of rejection rates after randomization should be interpreted with caution.
Attention will be paid to the selection criteria, and what populations were chosen for randomization to cyclosporine withdrawal. Your advice will be sought to explore whether it is possible to define up-front which populations are likely to benefit from cyclosporine withdrawal with concentration-controlled sirolimus, and which ones would be placed at an unacceptable risk.
IV. Potential Questions to the Committee
Tentative draft questions to the committee are included in this briefing package. These reflect the areas where we will seek your advice and comment. Finally, this supplementary application following the large phase III development program, which was presented to the committee on July 27, 1999, provides the opportunity to reflect on endpoints for clinical trials in maintenance immunosuppression in renal transplantation. We look forward to your comments and recommendations.

Still, it would be nice to know the expiration date on this calamity.
And thanks for all the music that came with no expiration date.
Such prescriptions have no expiration date, and were swallowed as easily in 1974 as in 1934 or 2014.
When does a meme officially jump the shark and reach its expiration date?
Kerry himself recently identified an expiration date for the two-state solution within "a year to year-and-a-half to two years."
Of course, the rule change could mean that the accumulated wisdom of the Oscar watchers has passed its expiration date.
And yet, the owners have now, twice, asked for an extension to the expiration date of the Current Bargaining Agreement.
But these hugely popular series, like many before them, have an expiration date.
Have delis, purveyors of foods preserved and pickled to last, finally hit their expiration date?
Coupled with this is the fact that the two-state solution has no expiration date.

The apology, the Aboriginal dimension of Australian history and a national history curriculum : beginning a new chapter?
Henderson, Deborah J. (2008) The apology, the Aboriginal dimension of Australian history and a national history curriculum : beginning a new chapter? QHistory, December, pp. 8-22.
|Accepted Version (PDF 103kB)
This paper argues that history teachers should draw upon some recent initiatives in 2008, such as the Apology of February 13, the announcement of a national history curriculum and the release of its framing paper, together with the Melbourne Declaration, to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Aboriginal dimension of Australian history in the classroom. It explores the epistemological and heuristic challenges involved in teaching about Indigenous History and links this to an examination of the History Wars. It also offers some potential strategies that might be used in inquiry units on aspects of Indigenous history in the classroom.

For Sherry Benson-Podolchuk, the harassment began soon after she arrived at her first RCMP posting in Tisdale, Sask.
It was 1990 and she was 27, the only woman stationed in the Prairie community. She would soon become the victim of a steady stream of sexually laced comments from colleagues, and she was given nicknames that had sexual connotations.
One day, she went into the bathroom and closed the door of her stall. It fell on top of her and split open her head. Some of her fellow officers had thought it would be funny if they removed the screws that kept the door secure. On another occasion, she opened her locker to discover a dead prairie chicken dripping blood all over her belongings.
And on it went throughout much of her career. When she permanently injured her shoulder during a shotgun training exercise in 1994, the force started a medical discharge process. Even though the Mounties accommodated officers who suffered debilitating injuries playing recreational hockey, they weren't prepared to make room for a woman who'd seriously hurt herself on the job.
In 2005, Ms. Benson-Podolchuk wrote to then-RCMP commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli about her harassment issues and the efforts to push her out of the force. She received no reply. She filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission and followed it up with a lawsuit, claiming the Mounties had failed to accommodate her job-related injury and provide a harassment-free environment. The RCMP settled out of court in 2009. Ms. Benson-Podolchuk officially called it quits a year later.
Last year, she published a revised edition of a book she wrote in 2007 about her experiences. Women Not Wanted initially received little attention but is now particularly apt in light of the latest harassment controversy that has engulfed the force.
Sexual harassment has been a problem in the RCMP for decades. While the subject has occasionally created headlines, little seems to have been done inside the organization to eradicate this ugly workplace phenomenon. Lawyers representing a growing number of officers are readying a harassment-related class-action lawsuit against the Mounties. And a number of female members, past and present, have recently spoken out about their ordeals.
Ms. Benson-Podolchuk sympathizes with anyone experiencing what she went through. "I'm on the other side of despair now and I know how hard it was to get here," she says. "The fact is, the organization is terribly broken. Women feel isolated.
"I have two letters from RCMP headquarters – one in 1992 and another in 2009, both apologizing for the harassment I suffered and saying how the Mounties don't tolerate it. Did anything change over that time? No, absolutely nothing. It's still a terrible work environment for most females."
Women who break gender norms are the most likely to be harassed. That's why it's been so rampant in paramilitary organizations such as the police. Female firefighters have had a tough time, too. Guys often don't like it when women gain entry into their boys-only club. When it happens, the reaction can be swift and brutal – as many female RCMP officers have learned.
"The term sexual harassment is a bit of a misnomer because of the word sexual," says Jennifer Berdahl, a professor of organizational behaviour at the University of Toronto. "It really should be called sex-based harassment because the vast majority of it takes on an overtly hostile nature where it's really about degrading and humiliating the employee based on sex." That can entail talking about a woman's body or sexually explicit things that make her feel uncomfortable, says Dr. Berdahl. It all takes place in the historical context of male sexual dominance over women.
Or to put it another way: The RCMP has a bullying problem.
"Even though I'm mostly recovered, I still have nightmares about my experience," says Ms. Benson-Podolchuk. "It's simply a devastating thing to go through. The fact it's still so rampant in the RCMP is really quite …" Her voice trails off. I believe the word she is looking for is "shameful."Report Typo/Error

Meat at the Movies – Edition #7 (Trailers)
This week there are two movies out worth looking into, 'Godzilla' and 'Million Dollar Arm.' That big lizard one though, that one will be the big one this weekend.
Everyone knows about Godzilla, the big radioactive lizard that terrorizes cities. This new movie looks to be the best Godzilla movie to date. I don't want to put down 'Godzilla' from 1998, I did like that one, I own it on VHS, but this year's 'Godzilla' looks far too awesome. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the dude from 'Kick-Ass,' plays a Navy bomb expert who goes to Japan to help out his father, Bryan Cranston a.k.a. Walter White a.k.a. Heisenberg a.k.a. the dad from Malcolm in the Middle (I could go on, it's like I'm introducing a rapper). Anyway, Godzilla rises from the waters to battle other huge monsters and leave nothing but destruction between Japan and San Francisco. I'm going to put this one out there and say that I think this movie will be one of the top movies of the year. Take it or leave it but this is what I'm seeing this weekend.
The second movie out this weekend worth checking out is the based-on-a-true-story-movie of the week, 'Million Dollar Arm' with Jon Hamm, best known for being Don Draper in Mad Men. This one is more of a family movie with a moral at the end, that moral being about teamwork and family. Draper plays a sports agent trying to find the next best baseball pitcher in order to save his own career. He finds a couple of cricket playing teens who know nothing about baseball or the American life but can throw a mean pitch. Like I said, this one isn't going to be on top, but it's something to take the family out to when your family won't go see 'Godzilla' with you.
There are still a bunch of movies yet to be released that I'm excited about, a few of them still in this month, it's going to be a good summer! Until next week, we'll MEAT at the movies!

Subject: Re: [FreeHelp] address not reliably privatized
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:33:05 EDT
Someone with more techie knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe
there is the #number encryption and some sort of javascript routine that
deters address harvesting as well as the use of flybait which feeds tons of
bogus email address to any possible harvester to discourage attempts to get the
addresses. These may not all be obvious in looking at the code.
In a message dated 8/28/2008 9:23:16 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time,
I disagree. If you search a keyword (for me, I used "kasle") in the
archiver.rootsweb.com, the address of the poster is privatized, but
addresses still appear in the text of the messages when people reply
to a message.
Rootsweb should be privitizing the search results page for this, and
not just the message pages. I thought they used to do it, I tested
before starting to post.
And on your suggestion, I just viewed html raw source and the email
addresses are clearly there in the message body snippets in the
results page, including the whole address with an "at" @ sign in them,
in the raw html.

hooley: I remember [Reagan] telling a story on the flight—not a true story, he didn't mean for us to think it was true.
hooley (Reagan): We had a public event at the airport when we landed.
It was almost noon before Mr. hooley dared tell the camera men to "shoot the scene."
Ruth marveled at the types Mr. hooley had found in the village.
Patiently, over and over again, Mr. hooley had the principal characters try the scene.
Mr. hooley was using old John on this day in a character part.
"This stunt business," as Director hooley called the taking of such pictures as this, is always admittedly a gamble.
"The Boss is rather sore on the whole business," hooley said to Ruth.
The continuity was being studied by Mr. hooley, the director; and the principals had been furnished with their detail.
I so informed Sanger, suggesting that he book us for four weeks at hooley's.

Om Restaurant
"OM feels like a collector's private gallery, with over 50 commissioned artisans in Nepal, Tibet and Thailand contributing to its collection. Most notably, every door, archway and façade was custom carved by the Newars, whose mastery of intricate carving has been a Nepalese tradition for 1000 years. Strikingly large bamboo poles pave the way to the Buddha-embedded wall. What walls aren't graced with art, are covered with nature's elements like hand-placed stones and light-reflecting waterfalls."

Up to a point, questions such as these arise because the Pilgrims said so little about that first venison dinner in 1621.
Probably in October, the Pilgrims met their Wampanoag neighbors for three days of feasting on wildfowl and venison.
Then I cook the venison slowly and for a long time so that the result is tender, juicy, and not at all tough.
Add the venison to the pot and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
This chair by British designer Thomas Heatherwick is now on view in his show at Haunch of venison gallery in New York.
We had a haunch of the venison for dinner; it was very good, but without fat.
The lake furnished the choicest fish, and the forest supplied them with venison and every variety of game.
Away from the settlements buffaloes still yielded much beef, bacon was made from bears, and venison was a staple commodity.
He had probably swum the stream, floating the venison across on a log by his side.
If Esau had sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, Isaac was about to give away the blessing for a mess of venison.
late 13c., from Old French venesoun "meat of large game," especially deer or boar, also "a hunt," from Latin venationem (nominative venatio) "a hunt," also "game as the product of the hunt," from venatus, past participle of venari "to hunt, pursue," probably from PIE root *weie- "to strive after, pursue with vigor, desire" (cf. Sanskrit veti "follows after," Avestan vayeiti "hunts," Lithuanian veju "to hunt, pursue," Old Church Slavonic voji "warrior," Old English waþ "hunting," Old Norse veiðr "chase, hunting, fishing;" see Venus).

Engineering and property services firm
UGL qualified for a strike under the government's new executive pay legislation after a 30 per cent vote against its remuneration report at its annual meeting in Sydney.
Proxy advisers' concerns about the size of UGL chief executive
Protest votes of 36.7 per cent and 49 per cent were recorded against the UGL remuneration report in 2008 and 2009, while last year only 9.2 per cent of shares were voted in opposition of the report.
UGL chairman Trevor Rowe said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the vote as there were only minor changes made to the remuneration practices in place last year.
"It is quite striking," Mr Rowe said. "We did what we said we were going to do – nothing else has changed – and 30 per cent vote against it."
Proxy adviser CGI Glass Lewis recommended that shareholders vote against the remuneration report, as did the Australian Shareholders' Association.
CGI Glass Lewis argued that UGL chief executive Richard Leupen's pay was "far in excess" of the median of his peers and that the company had been deficient in linking executive remuneration to its performance.
Mr Leupen's 2010-11 salary package totalled $6,640,025, including fixed remuneration of $1,984,800, a cash bonus of $2,436,000 and share-based payments of $2,085,580.
Mr Rowe said the UGL board was of the view that it paid "the right market rate for quality people" and that was "very important" in delivering the outcomes sought by shareholders.
UGL provided specific earnings guidance for this financial year for the first time yesterday, after holding off from doing so when it delivered its annual results in August.
The forecast 5 per cent increase puts the company on track to post a net profit of $166.5 million. If it achieves this, it would be its eleventh consecutive year of earnings growth .
Mr Leupen said: "At the full year, we were somewhat concerned about the economic conditions in the US in particular, having seen what happened last time when the US slowed.
"In the past few weeks, we've been over there having a good look at the business, which has now seen one quarter's trading. We really haven't seen any significant slowdown so far."
UGL has a large presence in the US, employing 33,000 staff. Most of them work for the company's Equis division, which provides property management services to the corporate real estate sector.
Mr Leupen said Equis had weakened significantly when the financial crisis struck and reported a small loss in 2008, but the division was poised to have its best year in five years. He said profitability was almost back to where it was pre-GFC.
Investors took the lack of guidance with the annual results as a bad sign, marking UGL shares down on the day. Yesterday, however, the stock gained 47¢ to $12.94.

.270 browning a-bolt
Have a browning a-bolt chambered for .270. Everything is standard on it. I have been trying to shoot long range with it. I've had some what success with it out to 800 yards. I think most of problem is guessing where to aim with the scope that I have. Just a mil dot scope. Out at the 800 yard range with wind it's hard to shoot with in a foot rue to your guessing where to hold. Another hint thing that I'm wondering is, is my barrel good enough for shooting out at 1000 yards?
The 270 is a great round(I have one) but not the best choice for 500+ yard shooting. The 130 gr bullets get blown around in the wind. If you were intent on shooting at 1000 yards you should have went with a 300 Win mag or that newer 338 Lap round. The 270 lacks the case capacity and uses to light of bullets. Changing your barrel to a premium bull barrel will likely shrink your group size some (probably small) amount. At 800 yards a 1 MOA group would be about 8" and that would be unlikely group size with your light set-up in that caliber. JMHO
i agree with hiwall here.
i think a heavier barrel would help shrink the groups a tad, but not enough to consistently hit at 1000 yards or even 800 yards. if you wanna get out that far, i'd look into a new rifle. you can build a 1000 yard gun for around $1000 easy, sometimes less depending on what you go with.
what kind of scope do you have? you said it was a mildot, does it have adjustable turrets? you should dial the scope for the drop of the bullet at 800 yards, not just guess. then you can use the mils to account for wind at that range (or dial that in as well)
I agree with 762 in regards to the guessing hold over.
If you have a smartphone or pda there are alot of apps/software out there to help you practice and develope drop charts. No need to guess anymore.
Now about the cartridge, .270 is a bit light like previously mentioned, however, a .300wm or wsm/RUM/WBY. they are all excellent rounds with BCs that will help with the wind (especially if you reload and get a berger VLD to shoot well IMHO)
As for the rife an a-bolt is a solid rifle. I have an a-bolt II was a limited military edition, but shoot great, consistently under .5MOA @100yds. With good handloads that shrinks even more.
If your gun can shoot .5 and under, then its up to you to practice untill you are comfortable. And if you do decide to take it to the field. Make sure you practice different field positions at the range prone with bipod, sitting with bipods etc.
If you want an different rifle then, a savage/stevens action with an aftermarket barrel, stock, trigger, and decent optics will also do wonders and IMHO, is one of the cheapest ways to go....
btw, i forgot to add depending on what kind of stock you have, that could be holding you back as well. i dont know a lot about brownings, i've always shot a remington, so i dont know what an a-bolt is.
That's for the tips. I'm loading a 150 gr Berger vld with a bc of .531. It should do ok in wind. I know that the bigger built will do bigger bullet will do better. I'm looking to get a scope with turrets so I can just adjust and shoot. I'm already on with g7 for drop charts. Thanks
Yup I agree. I'm getting 1/2 moa groups now at 500 (3 inch groups). I'm in the process of up grading my scope for a little better power but more importantly turrets with .25 moa adjustments. I'm also looking into getting a wind meter to illuminate guessing the wind. I agree with shoot game closer as well. I think it would be irresponsible to shoot farther than you have to. Plus the .270 isn't the greatest caliber for hunting long range. According to the G7 online ballistics calculator and Berger bullets information I'm maxed out at about 650-700 yards for my bullet to preform.

UNACCEPTABLY long response times are dogging the Los Angeles Fire Department and must be addressed immediately. It's a matter of life and death, as illustrated earlier this month by the case of a 16-year-old boy who collapsed while playing soccer at Wilmington Middle School.
It should not have taken 15 minutes for units to respond to numerous calls that Jesus Alonso Zambrano of Carson had suffered chest pains, clutched his chest and fell to the ground in front of his young friends. He later died.
The LAFD has come under fire over the past year for reporting conflicting information about how long it takes for units to respond to fires and medical emergencies across Los Angeles. A subsequent audit released in May by City Controller Wendy Greuel found that the fire department's response times have slowed by an average of 12 seconds citywide since $89 million worth of budget cuts led to the closure of some fire companies over the past several years. Response times were even worse in San Pedro with an average increase of 18 seconds, while callers in the San Fernando Valley are waiting about 20 seconds longer for firefighters to arrive.
Just weeks before Zambrano's death, LAFD Chief Brian Cummings acknowledged the need for a "transparent plan" to deal with the poor response times and assembled a task force to examine the issue. It's long past time to simply study what needs to be done. We need action, now.
It appears that the LAFD's response times are just as slow as their urgency in implementing solid reform. Budget cuts are just part of the LAFD's problem, but a lack of transparency remains the biggest culprit as does resistance to reform.
In Zambrano's case, LAFD officials are already in defense mode by shifting the blame on callers who provided "multiple" addresses for Wilmington Middle School. Paramedic crews arrived at the wrong location, prompting dispatchers to send out a second unit that arrived about 15 minutes after the first call was made. The problem with this argument is that there is only one middle school in Wilmington, which can easily be found in a simple online search.
Perhaps dispatchers need to undergo updated training, or maybe the LAFD should overhaul an antiquated emergency call system that requires operators to ask dozens of questions before paramedic and firefighting units are deployed. The protocols and prolonged amount of time it takes 911 dispatchers to transfer calls to the LAFD was addressed in Greuel's audit last spring, but it appears nothing has changed.
Rather than wringing their hands and waiting for the next tragedy to happen, the Los Angeles City Council should consider former Deputy Mayor Austin Beutner's call for an independent panel to seek out all of the deficiencies within the LAFD, which operates on a budget of more than $400 million. The same measures had to be taken more than 20 years ago, when the Christopher Commission was charged with probing the Los Angeles Police Department shortly after the brutal beating of motorist Rodney King.
While the LAPD has made great strides in reform and transparency, the fire department remains an insular agency closed to the public. It's time to end the secrecy in how response times are handled and implement real change so that this fire department can regain its stellar reputation.

Rezoning For An Aging Suburban Population
The first issue of a new journal on "The Dynamics of Aging and Our Communities, features an article by Marry Brizzel, Supervisor of the Town of Colonie, New York, about how the town is changing their planning and zoning to accomodate and plan for the town's aging population.
"As of the last census, one in four residents in the town of Colonie is over the age of 55, and that percentage is only going to grow in the coming years... The ultimate goal of the mixed use zoning and design standards is to transition our commercial corridors from auto-oriented strip malls to a more village like development, where people can walk from the pharmacy to the coffee shop."
The issue also features an interesting article on accessory uses, titled "Accessory Dwelling Units Can Aid in Intergenerational Housing Crisis."
[Editor's note: This article on rezoning begins on page 16 of the PDF document. You must scroll through the PDF until you reach page 16 in order to read the article. The article on accessory uses begins on page 13 of the PDF document.]

The belt routing path is not labeled. The user may need to read text on the labels to prepare and use the lower LATCH attachments.
|Evaluation of Instructions
The manual was attached to the restraint in a hard-to-find location when the restraint was removed from its packaging. In the manual, the section which details vehicle seat belt types does not provide complete information. The user must read text to route seatbelts correctly. Manual storage cannot be accessed when the CRS is installed in this mode of use.
|Securing the Child
The harness clip is not labeled to indicate its correct placement. The restraint uses a puzzle buckle that does not have an intermediate method of holding the two buckle tongues together.
