Japanese educators visit elementary school to go green
A group of elementary school children at Lipscomb Academy are making a difference across the country and around the world as they shared their environmental stewardship program with a delegation of 24 educators from Japan today.
The visitors from Japan traveled to Nashville as part of the Japan-U.S. Teacher Exchange Program for Education for Sustainable Development.
"We want to see the kinds of projects and activities that students are doing at Lipscomb Academy that we can learn from and take back to our schools," said Takashi Yasumi, administrator director of the Japan-United States Educational Commission based in Tokyo. "It's great to see students this involved and excited about the environment. We want to involve students in projects that are sustainable through time and to help them develop a love for caring for their environment. This also gives teachers an opportunity to collaborate and share ideas."
The program is administered by Fulbright Japan and jointly funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State and the Japanese Government's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Next week, a delegation of teachers and administrators from the United States will meet up with the Japanese delegation in San Francisco and will travel to Japan in June to learn about ESD efforts there. Throughout the program two groups of educators will collaborate on joint projects that can be implemented in both countries.
A 2013 U. S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School, Lipscomb Academy Elementary School has received numerous state and national awards for its integration of environmental sustainability into its curriculum and culture. Yasumi said the group wanted to visit Lipscomb Academy because of the success of the program and because there are many portions of the program that can be implemented in Japan.
The delegation toured portions of the elementary school campus including an outdoor classroom equipped with a sundial, a fishpond, a math patio, a butterfly garden, and a covered pavilion. Each grade level maintains a garden, including a pizza garden, a healing garden, a flower garden, a "five senses" garden, a gourd garden and a square-foot garden. Students also maintain a National Wildlife Foundation-certified Monarch butterfly way station, which provides a habitat for Monarch butterflies as they migrate through Tennessee.
In addition, the Japanese educators met with kindergartners in one of the school's gardens and learned how they harvest food for use in the cafeteria. Guests enjoyed refreshments, including kale chips, artichoke dip and vegetables made from produce grown in the school's gardens. Students who are part of the school's "Green Team" also met with the group to answer questions about the program and to get the "student perspective."
"It is interesting to see how a different culture teaches sustainability," said Kimiyo Vanase, a teacher from Kinjo Gakuin Senior High School in Nagoya, Japan. "We have a student council at our high school who does green projects. I'm very interested in what students do at an elementary school level."
Ginger Reasonover, science coordinator for Lipscomb Academy Elementary School, said she is pleased that the school's program is a model from which others can learn.
"It's exciting to see the impact that these young children from a small private school in Nashville are having on their city and around the world," she said. "At Lipscomb Academy Elementary School students see environmental education in action. The children are learning to reduce waste and reuse items so that less refuse is sent to landfills. They understand ecological connections between the needs of butterflies, other creatures, plants, and people. While working in the square-foot gardens, students experience the joy of growing and consuming their own vegetables. As these environmental practices become automatic to them, they become better citizens, using thoughtful practice with appreciation for their responsibility in the natural world. When you change a child, you change the world. Having a delegation from Japan who want to learn what we are doing is evidence of just that."
Just last month, a group of students, parents and administrators from a charter school in Rochester, N.Y., visited the elementary school to learn more about how to achieve Green Ribbon School designation.
"We are impressed with the fact that other schools want to learn what we are doing with our environmental stewardship program," said Jonathan Sheahen, Lipscomb Academy Elementary School principal. "Being recognized for the quality of our program leads us to share with others. It shows how our students can make a difference and are leaders in this area. We want other schools to implement programs like this because everyone can play a role in caring for the environment."
Lipscomb Academy Elementary School is quickly becoming a model for other schools. In addition to its Green Ribbon designation, the school is the 2013 national award winner for the National Energy Education Development Project's 33rd Annual Youth Awards for Energy Achievement Primary Level School of the Year and the 2013 Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation's Office of Energy Program's Primary School of the Year.
In 2012, the school's third-graders earned first-place honors in Tennessee as part of Disney's Planet Challenge. Lipscomb Academy was the eighth-ranked elementary school in the nation out of 1,900 schools entering the contest nationwide. Last year the school also received the 2012 SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Environmental Excellence Award in its category along with a $10,000 grant to help fund an environmental initiative at the school in recognition of its School Children's Recycling Action Program (SCRAP). The school was also named Tennessee's 2011 Recycling School of the Year. In 2009, the school received the Governor's Award for Excellence in Green Schools - K-12.

Melodrama pert near sold out
January 22, 2013
Tickets are sold out for the weekend shows of "Take a Gamble on Nevada" or "This May be Your Last Harrah," but some are still available for the Feb. 7 cocktail show.The Douglas County Historical Society's eighth melodrama fundraiser is Feb. 7-10 in the Carson Valley Museum & Cultural Center."This year we have an unusual twist with a female villain. She's very elegant, but sneaky and conniving," writer and director Dave Thomas said. "Join us for singing, dancing, and plenty of zany gambling humor at the Casino Mindenville. From the evil villain lurking about to the wisdom of the Great Spirit, this melodrama is guaranteed to amuse and delight."Casino boss John Stephans is tasked with the job of finding a thief lurking about Casino Mindenville."I'm trying to find out who's the villain if there is one, and what the problem is," he said. "It seems like each year we get better and better at either remembering our lines or ad-libbing them."Linda Diego portrays an older, funloving showgirl."She's a little sassy. She tells it like it is. She's been a showgirl for 30 years, and he loves it," Diego said. "The melodramas are always fun and this is my seventh. It's like going to a party every practice."Dee Bauer has the honor of being the first female villain in Carson Valley melodrama history."She's mean and nasty and loves jewelry," Bauer said. "I think part of the true me gets to come out."What makes a melodrama a melodrama is the pianist who ties it all together setting the tone with the music.Linda Sandstom has served as the scene-setter for the last five shows."It's a lot of work initially because the music isn't written into the script. We have to put it in as we go, and that's the fun of it," Sandstom said. "You mix the classics, all the way up to Broadway, to pop, to country. The louder and bouncier, the better."New to the melodrama is Mark Jensen of the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park."I recruited him because we did a melodrama at the Dangberg Ranch, and he owes me," Thomas joked.Jensen plays an out-of-town casino developer."He has misconceptions about what he can accomplish," Jensen said. "I'm enjoying learning how to deliver the lines."The 14-character play is produced by John and Mary Stephans. The 6:30 p.m., no-host cocktail show Feb. 7 costs $10. The Feb. 8-10 dinner and lunch shows are sold out. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 782-2555.

Cards sign eight Draft picks
ST. PETERSBURG -- Second baseman Darren Seferina (fifth round) and outfielder Nick Thompson (eighth round) are among the first wave of eight players the Cardinals have signed from their 2014 First-Year Player Draft class. Both will report to the Cardinals' short-season club in State College (Pa.), which begins its season Friday.
The Cardinals did not release signing bonus figures for each player, though the two bonuses will count against the Cardinals' total money pool of $7,087,200. The slot value assigned for Seferina was $280,100 and $152,400 for Thompson. They are not bound to sign at those figures.
Also coming to terms on an agreement were left-hander Jordan DeLorenzo (12th round), right-hander Matt Pearce (13th round), second baseman Casey Turgeon (24th round), right-hander Landon Beck (25th round), right-hander Tyler Dunnington (28th round) and left-hander Sash Kuebel (38th round).
Dunnington and Kuebel, a St. Louis native, will begin their professional careers with the Cardinals' Gulf Coast League club in Jupiter, Fla. DeLorenzo, Pearce, Turgeon and Beck have all been placed on the rookie-league Johnson City (Tenn.) roster. Both of those teams begin play next week.
The Cardinals have until July 18 to sign players taken in the Draft. They cannot yet negotiate with right-handers Andrew Morales (2nd round) or Dominic Moreno (33rd round), as both are on teams that have advanced to the College World Series. Morales and his University of California-Irvine teammates open play against the University of Texas on Saturday. Texas Tech University, which has Moreno on its staff, plays its first game on Sunday.

What she did: In a close meet against Novato and Justin-Siena, she won four individual events, setting Marin County bests in two sprints. She won the 100 and 200 meters in Marin-best times of 12.74 seconds and 26.14 seconds, respectively. She also took first in the long jump and the triple jump. She has not lost in any of her four individual events in a dual meet all year.
What she said: "I think I'm improving and set to peak later on in the (North Coast Section meet)/MCAL meet area and go from there. I set overall target goals each meet, but there hasn't been an overall, 'You have to get to this figure,' yet. I just try to constantly improve and I'm always competing with myself. I love having serious competition; that always sparks me to be competitive and try to outdo the other person. But it's always friendly competition."
What's next: After qualifying for the state meet in the long jump last year but having to skip the event because of a prior commitment, she is determined to both qualify and compete in the state meet this year before heading off in the fall to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where she hopes to compete as both a sprinter and jumper for the track team. Coach Bob McLennan said she has a legitimate shot to reach the state meet in the long jump, triple jump and 200 meters.
Off the track: She wasn't involved in any other sports at Tam this year, but she said she is active away from the track. "I have plenty of other hobbies and activities," she said. "As far as athletics, just keeping in shape I do plenty of recreational sports hanging out with my friends throwing around footballs and stuff like that."
Trivial matter: Though not superstitious, she does like to maintain a routine before a meet. "I like to have everything sort of laid out and planned out, like my bags all packed and do the same thing," she said. "Consistency helps me keep calm and keep focused about everything."
Coach Bob McLennan: "She actually hasn't lost a race all year, and except for Stanford and Arcadia where she was competing in the long and triple jump against national competition, she hasn't lost a single event. This last meet, her biggest competition was Isabel Jennings of Justin-Siena in the long jump — who had a jump that was six inches better than Jessica — and she still beat her by an inch and a half."

A SELF-STYLED Muslim imam accused of sending offensive letters to the families of dead Diggers has had his appeal against the charge dismissed.
Man Haron Monis, also known as Sheikh Haron, and his co-appellant, Amirah Droudis, are accused of sending letters to the widows and family members of several soldiers, referring to the dead men in what one judge described as ''a denigrating and derogatory fashion''.
Their pre-trial application was for the dismissal of the charge that it was a crime to use a postal or similar service in a way that reasonable people would regard as offensive.
The men's lawyers had argued that the material was ''purely political'' in nature, and were protected as political speech.
The High Court decision, published on Wednesday morning, said the co-accused had allegedly sent letters (and in one case a recorded message) to the relatives of Australian soldiers killed in action in Afghanistan and to the mother of an Austrade official killed in Indonesia.
''The communications criticised Australia's military involvement in Afghanistan. They opened with expressions of sympathy for the grieving relatives but then proceeded to criticise and condemn the deceased person,'' the decision read.
The High Court was divided 50-50 on whether the constitution prohibits the postal service being used to deliver ''seriously offensive material''.
Under the Judiciary Act, when the High Court is equally divided, the decision that is being appealed is upheld.
The High Court was told in October the letters, which were also sent to various politicians including the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader, contained ''expressions of sympathy'' for the soldiers' families.
But they also included passages such as: ''The Australian government represents the Australian nation. The Australian nation has approved the oppressive behaviour of its own government. How? By its silence. Insane people and children are exceptions.''
The High Court Judge Dyson Heydon questioned whether passages expressing sympathy could add to the offensiveness of the letters.
''You cannot offer condolences for the loss of someone's son and speak of the dirty body of a pig or say that Hitler was not inferior to them in moral merit,'' he said.
The barrister David Bennett, who appeared for Mr Droudis, told the court in October the letters were ''purely political'' and should therefore be protected as free speech.
''It is putting an extreme view,'' Mr Bennett said. ''It is putting what is no doubt very much a minority view, but it is purely political and it requires considerable imagination to see how that can be regarded as offensive in any way. That, of course, does not matter. If it is offensive it is offensive because the views are offensive, which is exactly what the freedom is designed to protect.''
The Chief Justice, Robert French, in October suggested the letters could be offensive because of their context and the fact they were addressed to military families. But Mr Bennett said wounding a person's feelings should not invoke a criminal offence.

The 119th Devon County Show is in full swing after an opening day where crowds created a happy atmosphere, livestock exhibitors saw the son of a great champion take glory and traders did brisk business.
The 25th Show at the Westpoint showground didn't so much defy the elements as take advantage of them as relaxed visitors dodged the showers in what Show Secretary Ollie Allen described as "ideal show weather".
"It's been a really brilliant day," she said. "We've welcomed big crowds who enjoyed the hot sunshine to watch all manner of entertainment in six arenas and when the rain came sought cover in the many pavilions housing features which reflect the countryside and life in Devon."
Although the car parks were wet and a few cars had to be towed out by tractors, the drivers said it was all part of their 'great experience'.
The Show's reputation as one of the foremost agricultural shows in the country brought visits by both the Defra Secretary of State, Owen Paterson, and the new President of the NFU, Meurig Raymond.
Highlights in the livestock rings included the coming of age for Yeomadon Luther who was crowned Devon breed champion. He is the son of Yeomadon Ferdinand, a former, great Devon breed champion.
Devon Girl Guides, Young Farmers and early visitors joined Andi Peters on ITV's Good Morning Britain.
Headline entertainment included the Kangaroo Kids acrobatic quad bike display watched by their dog Bruce. Matt Coulter and his son Sam brought Bruce, half dingo, from Australia to join them on their tour of the country this summer.
The Devon & Cornwall Police Dogs caught the attention of visitors, a well the arms of villains, as they demonstrated their role in modern policing.
The UK Snail Racing Championships along with the new-look West Country Crafts Pavilion featuring four room sets of all things made locally proved particularly popular.
Yesterday evening, the first Devon Farm Business Awards were presented at a gala evening overlooking the main arena. Celebrating excellence and innovation in Devon farming, the Devon Farmer of the Year went to dairy farmers Peter and Di Wastenage of East Budleigh.
The Show, in its 119th year, continues on tomorrow with visit by HRH The Duke of Kent and Saturday.

By peer recognition, the Society encourages participation in all pharmacy activities. Since membership crosses fraternal and organizational lines, the Society does not compete with other pharmacy organizations.
Phi Lambda Sigma honors leadership. Members are selected by peer recognition and faculty recommendation. No greater honor can be bestowed upon an individual than to be recognized as a leader by one's peers. Such recognition instills and enhances self-confidence, encourages the less active student to a more active role and promotes greater effort toward the advancement of pharmacy.

30 Minute Spicy Red Fish Stew
In my bedroom I have a cabinet with a huge collection of food magazines going back about 20 years, mostly Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Fine Cooking, with some assorted issues of other publications. My magazines are arranged by month, and when a new month starts, I love to look at the past issues for that time of year to see what recipes the magazines were featuring.
I'm usually looking at magazines a few months in advance, so when I looked at magazines for May, this recipe for Spicy Red Fish Stew from Bon Appetit, May 2004, was the one that jumped out at me.
We all should be eating more fish and there are plenty of Fish and Shellfish Recipes on this blog, but my usual fish dinners are nothing like this stew where onions, tomatoes, and roasted red peppers simmer with garlic and red pepper flakes and then chunks of white fish are added to cook for just a few minutes and flavor the stew. And wow! This was absolutely delicious.
Saute the red onion or shallots in olive oil until they're soft and starting to brown.
Cut the fish into pieces about 1 inch square, and blot dry with paper towel if needed.
While the pepper-tomato mixture simmers, zest a lemon and chop the cilantro.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and some of the chopped cilantro to the mixture.
Then add the fish pieces and stir just enough so the fish is gently combined in the mixture.
30 Minute Spicy Red Fish Stew
(Makes 2 generous servings, recipe can easily be doubled. Adapted from Spicy Red Fish Stew by Meriel McDonald for Bon Appetit Magazine, May 2004.)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion or shallot
1 T olive oil
1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with juice
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (I used Aleppo pepper; use more if you like it spicy)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (plus more for garnish if desired)
1/2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
8-10 oz. cod, halibut, or tilapia fillets, cut into 1 inch pieces
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Heat olive oil in small frying pan, add chopped red onion or shallot and saute over medium heat about 3-4 minutes, until onions are soft and starting to brown. Add chopped red bell peppers, diced tomatoes with juice, finely minced fresh garlic, and red pepper flakes. Let mixture simmer 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until garlic is cooked and flavors are well-blended.
While stew mixture simmers, zest and juice the lemon, and chop the cilantro. Cut fish fillets into 1 inch pieces and blot dry with paper towel if needed.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to stew mixture, then add fish pieces and gently stir to combine. Let stew simmer 5-7 minutes or until fish is barely turning opaque and some liquid from the fish is being released into the stew. Stir again, season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper and serve hot, with additional chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.

if the next time it is super windy out you refuse to go play, then the answer is no.
you get better at what you do, and you do not get better at what you don't do.
when i started dg, 3 of the worst 4 wind courses in the metro area (~36 courses) were the 3 closest courses to where i lived. now that i have moved, the other course is one of my home courses. at those 4 courses the average is about 20mph with gusts > 60 mph.
needless to say i am a very good wind player.
if you try to throw max d into the wind, you have already lost.

Stafford Reversible Tansu Step Chest
10 0
false pdp {"scheme":"product1_cr"}
false pdp {"scheme":"product2_cr"}
Stafford Reversible Tansu Step Chest is rated out of 5 by 163.
Rated 5 out of 5 by EcclecticCollector from Pleasantly Pleased with the Purchase I have been wanting a real step tansu forever, but they are so expensive. When I found this, I was a bit leery, but I decided to finally purchase. The first box arrived very quickly. It was heavy, but I manged to get it up my steps. The second box took longer, and was heavier. I had to unpack it piece by piece. There was quite a bit of wrapping, but it was in great condition, no scratches or dents. I had my daughter help me unpack and clean off all the Styrofoam bits, then she put most of it together, with only a little help from me. It looks lovely in my bedroom. I left off the very top drawer, as I wanted a larger base to put a large silk Geisha doll I've had, and she looks beautiful sitting atop it. You also can leave the smaller drawer off, the one on the second row. There are two sets of instructions, depending on whether you want it assembled from the left or the right, so pay close attention to the front of the booklets, or you will wind up having to disassemble it. For the price, I thing this is an excellent piece of furniture.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tansu1 from Tansu Step Chest We needed more storage in our bedroom, but I wanted something different. The Tansu Step Chest is perfect. The walnut finish was a close match with the existing furniture, and fit the spot where we needed it perfectly. We are very happy with the chest and would recommend it to anyone who wanted a smaller storage option.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Farmchick1 from Great for storage without having the storage appearance Thought about this product for months before finally ordering it. Ordered it, got it here, all pieces were included and easy to assemble if you set everything out in order and have two people working together. Once you get started on assembly, easy to figure out and looks very nice once you are finished. Great for storage of things without the appearance of storing things. Glad we finally ordered it.

Is the chest finished on all sides?
The back is not finished but all sides and tops are finished on each piece.
Date published: 2014-06-21
is each level a seperate piece that could be arranged differently?
My area is larger than this, so I was considering ordering 2 and rearranging the levels, so it would fill the space better? so is it a base, a large box and 3 drawer pieces that would work independently? Or could I make an L out of two for a corner rearranging them?
Although each level is separate they need to be attached to each other. You can attached the pieces to have the higher side on either the left of the right. To use in an L shape would cause me to be concerned about opening the drawers. Of course if the were spaced apart enough then it may not be an issue. It's a beautiful piece, I love mine and always get compliments. Once last comment - your question mentions 3 drawers however the larger 'drawer' is actually a cabinet that is hinged on one side and pulls open - I hope this is helpful.

What is the height to the top of the 3rd-tier sliding cabinet?
We want to use this as a room divider, between an office and sitting area. Our desk height is 30", and it will be behind the cabinet. We want to make sure it is at or below the top of the sliding cabinet. Thanks!
Well, the sliding cabinet is actually the 2nd tier and it is exactly 29 3/4 inches from the floor. The 3rd tier, which is a single box with a door measures 38 3/4 inches from the floor. Hope that helps!

In which country was this piece manufactured?

Can cubes be rearranged?
I would like to be able to display a couple of sculptures on this but the individual open spaces are too small. If I move the topmost cube down to sit on the bottom tier, beside the sliding doors and cube already there, will it fit? I've looked at the measurements in the specs but suspect those are internal measurements as they don't add up to the overall total. I'm concerned if Imove the top cube down it will overlap the bottom tier. Will it work?
If you move the top tier to either the next tier down, or the far right side of the bottom tier it will overhang by about an inch. However, if you put the top tier on top of the box that is the same size as the top tier, it will match up with out any overhang and it will be flush with the top of the big cabinet with the slider doors( I measured to be sure). I should clarify that I set mine up with the steps ascending right to left. I don't think that it makes a difference either way, but, there you go.

AT&T 4G LTE Now Available in Ithaca
Customers to benefit from ultra-fast mobile Internet on the latest LTE devices
Ithaca, New York, January 31, 2013
AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Ithaca, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. The LTE upgrade to AT&T's existing 4G network includes Ithaca, Cornell University, University Hill, College Town, West Hill, Buttermilk State Park, South Hill and East Ithaca. In upstate New York, the 4G LTE network is also available in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Saratoga and Saratoga Springs.
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the largest 4G network in the nation, covering 288 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. That's coverage in 3,000 more 4G cities and towns than Verizon.** Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
"The expansion of 4G LTE wireless network coverage is an incredible benefit for the residents of Ithaca," said Ithaca Mayor Svante L. Myrick. "This is great news for the economic development of Ithaca and for our citizens who depend on their wireless devices for conducting business, gathering information and staying connected with family and friends."
Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Sony Xperia™ TL, LG Optimus G™, Samsung Galaxy S III, Motorola ATRIX™ HD, HTC One™ X, Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy Note™ II, HTC One™ X+, Samsung ATIV smart PC and ASUS VivoTab™ RT.
- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Ithaca responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices," said Marissa Shorenstein, president, AT&T New York.
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G, as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
AT&T recently announced Project Velocity IP, its strategic plan to invest $14 billion over the next three years to expand its wireless and wireline IP broadband networks. As part of Project Velocity IP, AT&T's 4G LTE network is expected expand to cover 300 million people by year-end 2014, and its wireline IP network is expected to extend to 57M customer locations, covering 75% of locations in AT&T's wireline service area by year-end 2015.

The November 2011 edition of Inbound Logistics featured on article on how to pick a third party logistics (3PL) provider. It was great to see that optimization was #2 on the list.
We are seeing a rising trend in the value of optimization to a business. Optimization helps organizations reduce costs and improve operations by sorting through the vast amount of data available and recommending the best decision. (Click here for a nice 3 minute video on optimization and click here for an article in Forbes on the rise of optimization) It is no wonder that optimization is important to 3PLs and their customers.
In a blog entry we featured earlier this year, we noted that Navistar selected Menlo Worldwide Logistics as their 3PL partner, in part, because of their optimization capabilities. Also, the 3PL's of Fidelitone in the US and AFL in India (now owned by FedEx) also highlight their optimization capabilities.

Men sue Seattle police after officer threatens to 'make stuff up'
Updated 6:26 pm, Tuesday, November 13, 2012
The city of Seattle is once again on the wrong end of a lawsuit that accuses officers of excessive force.
At issue this time is a case the KOMO Problem Solvers first exposed last winter when an officer arrested two young black men, then said he would "make stuff up."
It's been almost two years to the day since Joshua Lawson and Christopher Franklin were arrested by Seattle police. Though they were released without charges, the night still haunts both men.
"We need justice to be served," said Lawson.
"I was terrified," said Franklin. "It was a big, traumatic experience."
In November 2010, police stopped Lawson and Franklin blocks away from a reported assault. The 911 witness caller identified the assailants.
"It was two tall, skinny, African-Americans," said the 911 caller. "I could tell they were both wearing jeans."
There was no mention of the white sweatpants Lawson was wearing that night. But police officers stopped the two at gunpoint.
"An innocent man staring down the barrel of a loaded gun, ready to aim and fire at you? It's a life-or-death situation," said Lawson.
In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday, both men say they complied with police orders to get on the ground, but that one officer kicked Lawson in the face and another forced Franklin's face into the pavement.
Though one police report at the time indicated someone identified the men, no charges were ever filed.
At the jail that night, the audio from one police camera caught an exchange between Franklin and one of the officers.
Officer: "Well, you're going to jail for robbery, that's all."
Franklin: "For robbery?"
Officer: "Yeah, I'm going to make stuff up."
An internal investigation by SPD determined the officers had done nothing wrong. But an attorney representing the men says this case represents exactly what the Department of Justice investigation found was wrong with SPD.
"There's nothing that links these boys to the crime that started all of this. They don't fit the description," said attorney Lizanne Padula. "I've said this before and I'll say it again -- their crime was being black in Seattle."
Both men hope their lawsuit helps bring change to the department.
"Because I'm pretty sure there's very nice officers that work in Seattle Police Department, and you have these -- probably 3 percent -- that I ran into that make everybody look bad," said Lawson.
SPD says it is not admitting any wrongdoing. The department adds that with the DOJ settlement agreement, citizens should be even more confident of getting fair treatment from police.

Britney Spears might be the most memorable celeb to have shaved her head in recent history — but she's not the only star taking the "hair" out of hairstyle. Last month, fellow singer Cassie shocked fans by shaving off one side of her tresses and tweeting that the look was "Something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR." Many fans expected the singer's hairstyle to go away as quickly as it could grow back, but the half-bald look proved its staying power. Cassie is now revealing that her hair-free look isn't exactly carefree. "I get it touched up by a barber every three days," she tells WWD.com. When it comes to shaving, we have enough trouble just keeping our legs under control and don't know if we could handle having to worry about to our scalps, too. Tell us: Have you ever shaved your hair? Would you try out a style like Cassie's?

The 49ers' 41-34 victory at New England wasn't enough to earn them the top spot in the Associated Press Pro32 NFL Power Rankings.
The Denver Broncos and 49ers each received six first-place votes from a panel of 12 media members, but Denver ranked first after outpointing the 49ers 375-372 in the closest voting of the season.
The 49ers and Broncos both moved up one spot in the rankings. The Patriots dropped from first to third after losing to the 49ers, who led them by 18 points.
The No. 4 Atlanta Falcons swapped spots with No. 5 Houston Texans.
The Seattle Seahawks, the 49ers' next opponent, ranked eighth.
Here are the voters' comments on the 49ers after Week 15, as provided by the AP (voter affiliation and ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 1) -- Came into New England expecting to win and did so ... Wow!
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 1) -- Colin Kaepernick's playmaking adds to offense's explosiveness.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 2) -- Comment unavailable
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 1) -- Best defense in football right now and Kaepernick getting better each week.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 1) -- Maybe the biggest regular season win in the Jim Harbaugh era. Not only a dominating early showing against the Pats on the road, but a terrific recovery after New England's furious comeback. Now it's on to Seattle against the streaking Seahawks.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 4) -- Only two teams managed to go unbeaten in interconference play this season -- the 49ers and Falcons. San Francisco closed out its 4-0 sweep of the AFC with a victory Sunday over the Patriots.
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 3) -- It's not Colin Kaepernick that makes the 49ers so dangerous; it's the league's best defense, and I call Tom Brady to the witness stand.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 2) -- For one half on a rainy night in Foxborough, they looked Super Bowl-bound.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 3) -- What an impressive win in Foxborough. The Kaepernick experiment looks like a great move at this point.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 4) -- 49ers were extremely impressive winning on Sunday night in Foxborough. They stay behind the likes of the Broncos and Patriots and Packers because I still need to see more from Kaepernick. He can make the big plays, but will he give the ball away?
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 1) -- We now have our answer after San Francisco's 41-34 win at New England -- 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick (four touchdowns) is ready for prime time.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 1) -- If you throw out games against the Rams, they have won six in a row, including one of the most impressive victories of the year by any team Sunday.

Avoiding violative drug residues takes a well-developed and consistently implemented on-farm plan. Based on your current plan, what is your farm's risk level of a residue violation? Zoetis has developed a tool to help you find out.
The online "Residue Risk Assessment" from Zoetis is an interactive tool that evaluates a wide variety of factors that could help to prevent violative drug residues. Among the questions it asks are:
- Does a veterinarian regularly visit your herd and consult with you about management and health issues?
- Are treatment records reviewed prior to cattle returning to a milking string or leaving the herd for dairy beef?
- Are training programs in place for new employees and all personnel responsible for administering treatment?
- Are approved dosages and routes of administration checked and followed when treatments are given?
The Residue Risk Assessment was developed based on findings from actual FDA residue violation investigations. Its results are completely confidential and will not be shared in any way. Zoetis emphasizes that the tool is for educational purposes only. The results should be discussed with your herd veterinarian.

The Culture Diaries
A Day in Culture: Jeremiah Moss, Blogger and WriterBy Jeremiah Moss
It's the final weekend for Ray's Pizza, the true original, which has been on Prince Street since 1959, so I head down for a last slice.
3:55 P.M. From the East Village I take a roundabout way, across Houston Street, where the two artists known as Faile (Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller) are putting the finishing touches on their giant mural, a comic-booky collage that brings to mind the organic degradation of street advertising and art, layer upon layer, ripped and peeled. The city is like this in places, one stratum revealed beneath the next, except in the places that have been excavated down to bedrock to make the past disappear. I end up talking to one of the Patricks while the other Patrick is pasting a Chairman Mao to the wall. Patrick tells me how the images and text have all been pulled from comics, movie posters, and other ephemera. He says, "We consider ourselves scavengers" of pop culture. And then Chairman Mao needs direction. "Tear it a little more," Patrick tells Patrick. "A little more. That's right."
4:05 P.M. Houston takes me to Eldridge then to Stanton, where I think to detour into the Fusion Arts Museum, one of those places I've been meaning to visit but never have, only it's not Fusion Arts anymore. It's a new gallery, something called Lambert Fine Arts. The once colorful gate of bicycle parts, propellers, and bombs has been painted solid gray. I go inside anyway and check out Terrenceo's paintings on pizza boxes, portraits of people taking their own photos in mirrors with cell phones, our tepid new expression of despair. Downstairs, Allison Berkoy's spooky dolls are muttering to each other with their talking video faces, none of them listening to what the others have to say. Read More

The NHL trade deadline is Wednesday at 3 p.m. To prepare, Sporting News' Jesse Spector answered a series of reader questions.
— NHL trade tracker | Flyers should sell—now | Rangers bank on Clowe
"I say the following 'cause for the first time since 2004, there's a good possibility the Leafs make the playoffs. ARE THE LEAFS INSANE? Why do they want to acquire Miikka Kiprusoff when James Reimer in a lot of games has been the sole reason why they were in them? Reimer to this point has a .920 save percentage while Kipper's is well under .900. The last time Miikka was in the playoffs, his save percentage was .884 and his GAA was at 3.52. I need some bourbon in me pronto!" — Mohamed M.
It makes no sense whatsoever for Toronto to bring in Kiprusoff. None. Reimer has been great all season, and Ben Scrivens has been fine in his own right as a backup, with two shutouts. Whether Kiprusoff has completely lost it this season or is just in a slump, it doesn't matter: goaltending is not the area where the Maple Leafs should be spending assets for a legitimate upgrade, let alone a speculative one — and the fact that Kiprusoff reportedly wants a contract extension to even consider a deal, well… how does that make any sense?
Reimer's .926 save percentage at even strength is the same as that of Ryan Miller and Tuukka Rask, and better this season than Kari Lehtonen, Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Cam Ward, Jaroslav Halak, Mike Smith, and Jonathan Quick. Another thing to remember is that Reimer is 25 years old. Kiprusoff is 36. Assuming the Leafs aren't a Stanley Cup team this year — and do you really see them beating the Penguins or Bruins in a seven-game series? — the guy that you want to build around into the future is Reimer.
If the idea is to bring Kiprusoff in as a veteran backup, as some have suggested, that's also nonsensical. The Leafs have 12 games left, and still are not assured of a playoff spot. How many games is a backup going to play? Three? And if you're in a position where you're using your second goaltender in the playoffs, odds are you're toast anyway. Not to mention that in a salary cap world, paying out a $5.83 million cap hit for a backup goaltender is ludicrous – that's why Roberto Luongo has been on the trade block for so long.
The player the Leafs should have been after from Calgary was Jay Bouwmeester, as our pal Cam Charron wrote the other day, but the Flames traded him to the Blues instead. While trying to make a trade with Jay Feaster is a fun exercise these days, the Maple Leafs' needs – for once – do not include a goaltender.

A GYNAECOLOGIST who was unfairly dismissed from his job at Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital said he had been told there were "negative vibes" following his dismissal.
The Argus reported in April how an employment tribunal ruled that Dr Olufunso Oyesanya was unfairly dismissed by Aneurin Bevan Health Board, formerly Gwent Healthcare Trust, from his employment.
His job was a 12-month appointment as a locum consultant from March 2008, specialising in gynaecology.
It was found that although his employers had notified him he was to be dismissed at the end of his appointment, they had failed to hold a meeting with him.
Giving evidence at a remedy hearing held at Cardiff's Caradog House this week, Dr Oyesanya said he had applied for several other jobs before and after leaving the Royal Gwent. He said that on a number of occasions he had been asked: "What happened in Gwent?" with one clinical director at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, telling him: "I just wanted to let you know there are negative vibes following what happened in Gwent."
He said that if he had been interviewed in a meeting with his employers, he would have been able to "clear the air" over complaints made about him and felt he would have been offered other opportunities.
He said: "I would have gone through the complaints and they would have seen I hadn't done anything wrong."
At the previous tribunal hearing, Christopher Childs representing the health board said it was previously made clear to Dr Oyesanya it was a 12-month post.
Dr Oyesanya is seeking re-engagement in a consultant post in one of the board's hospitals.
The case was adjourned and closing statements are expected to be made at a later date before a decision is made.

This drives me crazy... I've noticed that if I have some code on my block diagram (or controls on my front panel) the scroll bars indicate that there is more stuff outside the view of the window that can't be seen. It would be nice if the scroll bars only activated if there was actually code outside of the screen to be found. Every time I see this, my OCD kicks in and makes me try to move my diagram to show the hidden code, only to realize that LabVIEW is just messing with me...
Of course an image is worth 1024 words..
> It would be nice if the scroll bars only activated if there was actually code outside of the screen to be found.
That's actually a tricky one because I think the scrollbars should always be there. We might need them! In fact the scrollbars should have a larger dynamic range to what they currently have (see below)
Some scenarios:
Hi Altenbach, you make some very good points. I agree it can be useful to get to parts of the screen outside of the window. However I think that using Ctrl-drag and ctrl-shift drag would allow you to get around this problem.
If Ctrl-shift-drag is what you mean by the Pan tool, I use this every single time I program LabVIEW. It makes it very easy to navigate a diagram or panel.
I just think that the way it is now, it's very deceiving.
I agree with David's idea, and further, that the mouse wheel should not scroll past existing code. Even better if this works the same for horizontal scrolling. But to partially address Christian's concerns, I'd go along with the Pan tool still being able to scroll outside the existing code, and perhaps also the scroll arrows on either side of the scroll bars.
Ctrl+shift+alt+anything is magic -- it isn't discoverable in the interface, which makes it hard for a lot of users to learn. I like the scrollbars for their findability and accessibility.
If scrollbars only showed existing code, it would be very difficult to ever write NEW code, like dropping new structures and such.
What if the arrows on each end of the scroll bar still worked to move left and right, but the position of the scrollbar displayed that it was all the way to the end. I've seen this behavior in other programs, such as Excel and it's very intuitive.
I think that combined with the Ctrl-drag and ctrl-shift drag mechanisms would have all the bases covered for extending code outside the visible window.
> What if the arrows on each end of the scroll bar still worked to move left and right, but the position of the scrollbar displayed that it was all the way to the end.
Not a standard behavior of scrollbars. You would have to do *something* to indicate that "these bars do not behave like the bars in every other application you've ever used." It might be a good idea to do that, but you can't just monkey with the behavior without changing the visual feedback that users rely on to know how things work. Any suggestions?
How about something like this:
It shows that the scrollbar is active, however there's nothing out there yet...
Looking at my Excel inspiration, it does not seem that they do anything special to indicate that you can go further beyond the scroll bar. Anyone familiar with Excel would probably be able to pick up on it.
Finally, I think this hurdle will only affect the most beginner of users, and only the first couple of times they try it. Once you realize "hey, I can think outside the box" it shouldn't be too hard to remember how to move out there.

If California American Water goes it alone to build a desalination plant of its own near Marina or anywhere else, it should be required to make the project similar to the long-discussed regional desalination project that also involved Monterey County and the Marina water district — and to get a move on.
With the possible exception of downsizing, dramatic changes in design and approach would almost certainly draw out the approval process and require another full environmental impact report — which, for practical purposes, could mean another environmental impact report after that.
A Cal Am official told a Public Utilities Commission judge this week that the company hopes to simply modify the PUC's existing approval of the seemingly defunct regional project to expedite the process. Cal Am wanted 90 days to come back with a new plan, but was told to return by March 1. That is a positive sign from the PUC, because Cal Am faces a state order to start reducing the use of Carmel River water, the Peninsula's primary supply, by 2016. The need to find or create an alternate suppy becomes more urgent with each passing day.
The future of desalination here is in question because of a dizzying combination of factors, including lack of a financing plan, a court order requiring a new environmental impact report, a legal dispute about water rights, a criminal case and state investigation about conflict of interest allegations and fracturing of a three-way partnership that had been heading the regional project.
One partner, Monterey County, is eager to get out and stay out of the process but the other, the Marina Coast Water District, is fighting legally, politically and administratively to remain attached. If the regional desalination project is finished, Marina Coast gets a large supply of cut-rate water that could be used for significant development at Fort Ord. If it isn't completed, Marina Coast stands to lose millions of dollars that it has already sunk into the process.
In formal arguments filed with the PUC in advance of Tuesday's status hearing, Marina Coast lawyers argued that Cal Am has selfish motives to end the partnership.
Cal Am's effort "appears calculated not to benefit Cal Am's ratepayers but to benefit its bottom line," said Marina Coast's legal brief. "Instead of providing desalinated water at cost from (Marina Coast) under the regional desalination project, the...alternative would add some $300 million of desalination plant assets to Cal Am's rate base. Cal Am would then be in a position to earn a return of more than 10 per cent from its ratepayers on an annual basis on those additional rate base assets."
Complicating Cal Am's current plan, a Monterey County ordinance requires desalination plants to be publicly owned. Cal Am's expressed approach to that obstacle is to persuade the county to drop the ordinance or to persuade a judge or jury to order it dropped.
Rather than spending time and ratepayer money on more political and legal battles, Cal Am should be looking for the most expeditious, most efficent ways to solve the Peninsula's water woes and ward off the state's cutoff order. It has all become so complicated that the most direct route may not be the most obvious one, but the PUC has the power and it should have the expertise to make sure Cal Am stays on the best path — the best path for the Peninsula and not just for its shareholders.

Who knows. Seems like it happens at least once every year. I have to think they know about it. If it keeps up, I'll send them an email.
Hey! What're you kicking me for? You want me to ask? All right, I'll ask! Ma'am, where do the high school girls hang out in this town?
My guess is it has something to do with dates changing to 2011.

ok all is back to normal now
My guess is that it might have something to do with the games that were postponded due to snow storms.
They might have had to tweek their scheduling thing-a-ma-bob
So the games are being held up again, what gives? I have a 4 game winning streak waiting to be posted right now and I've only won 6 games all season! The John Wall experience is finally healthy again!

Sudden Impact: The Need for the Mid Card Title
by, 04-12-2013 at 11:33 PM (3250 Views)
Hey fans. DK Savior here, way ahead of his homework this week and had time to do a special edition of Sudden Impact. Though this should be more of a Coffee Talk, I've decided to do this TNA focused blog without doing a report on what was a very hyped, yet, someone deflating episode of Impact from Corpus Cristi, TX. The 2 out of 3 falls turned out to be a pretty decent match even after the first 2 falls were done in about a minute. The TLC match was also good with the spots, but lacked that climatic feel. The rest was sort of...ehhh. But that's not the point for this week's blog. The point is adding certain relevancies. And I'll tell you what I mean by that.
It's no secret that Devon wears a title around his neck that hasn't been defended in months. This lack of a mid-card title generates pointless matches that are looked at as more like grudge matches. The lack of this mid-card title relevancy is hurting TNA in my opinion. There's too many people on the roster with virtually nothing to do. Not everything can be about the war with Aces & Eights, the conflicted AJ Styles, and wrath of Matt Morgan. It seems that wrestlers who aren't directly involved with these three main storylines are left off Impact way too much. And that's where the TV Title can come into play. Let's look at some contenders that could vie for that title.
Devon: Reigning Television Champion
Devon, much like the majority of his Aces & Eights brothers, hardly ever wrestles. He's been television champ for several months but also hasn't defended it in several months. Hopefully, Joseph Park pulls some legal mumbo jumbo to make him defend it.
Joseph Park: Likely Next Contender
If what I said above holds true, then perhaps Joseph Park will be the first to get a TV Title shot in forever. Since Devon suckered him this past week, I'm hoping he gets that shot. I'm not saying he needs to win it, but the title surely needs to be defended.
Rob Terry: The Next Mid-Card Favorite
Rob Terry made minced meat out of Joey Ryan this past week. I find it to be a sad thing considering the great storytelling they did with Joey Ryan to bring him in, just to have him be irrelevant. But former Bigger Rob would make a nice TV Champ. People are starting to like him and if he holds that title and is on tv more, he could get a decent following and the tv title could be one of those stepping stones that could maybe get him to the next level.
Christian York: Time to Leave the X-Division
I like Christian York. But I don't feel his style meshes well in the X Division, especially with the new X Division rules. He's clearly much slower than his counterparts and looks awkward trying to do some of the crazier moves that typical X Division wrestlers do. He's built well and I think pursuit of a mid-card title would suit him much better.
Robbie E: Former TV Champion
Robbie's feud with Bigger Rob should be finished now. I think Rob Terry has created that separation and is ready to move on. This should bring Robbie back into the division. He's not an X Division guy and I don't ever see him in the World Title picture. So, the only goal for him is this mid-card title.
Eric Young: A Return to the Title Picture
Let's face it. At this point, Eric Young is not a viable contender for Bully Ray. And with moving away from the war with Aces & Eights, EY should return to get his title back. In fact, he could be the next true contender if they don't go with Joseph Park. This way, he still battles A&E, and gets himself into that title picture. The new, serious Showtime Eric Young, would make a great TV Champ and we'd get to see him much more.
Samoa Joe: Giving Him a Goal
Samoa Joe is someone I've been waiting for to get a World Title shot and it just never seems to happen these days. He falls short in the BFG series and gets involved in being one of 4 or 5 guys to battle Aces & Eights. He's popular and should be held in much higher regard. He's someone I can see taking to TV Title back into the realm of relevancy.
Magnus: Another One who Needs a Goal
Magnus' popularity has increased since his return during TNA's UK Tour. While he's been involved in the war with A&E, and meshing well with his former tag partner, Samoa Joe, I don't see these two reforming a tag team and pursuing that title. He needs something to work toward. He's not used enough and he, like Joe, could definitely bring relevancy back to that title.
DOC: The Big Man Enforcer of Aces & Eights
Aces & Eights don't fight enough. They do more gang attacks than having actual matches. I think DOC is getting lost in the shuffle with this approach. He's a big, strong guy and would be perfectly suited for a mid-card title like the TV Title. He would obviously not fight Devon for the title, but if Devon loses the belt, DOC can become a contender for it. Devon, as the SGT in Arms and Bully's brother and right hand man, he can definitely get involved in other things that don't involve a mid-card title and still be relevant. DOC on the other hand, needs something like this. And I'd much rather seem him working at this, rather than being thrown into a make-shift tag team with Knux or something like that.
So there you have it. I've just listed several guys who would make up a nice division for the mid-card title that currently doesn't really exist in TNA. It's a title that needs to exist though. Much like how WWE needs something for guys like Kofi Kingston, Wade Barrett, and R Truth to fight for. TNA needs the same thing. There's too much actual talent who can be utilized and it also gives more for the fans to focus on. If all we focus on is Aces & Eights and AJ Styles, that's where stale comes into play. The TV Title. It needs to become relevant once again.
I hope enjoyed this rather unique edition of Sudden Impact. I've got 4 weeks until graduation, then I'll be able to blog more reguarly with it.
Thank you again for reading. If you haven't done so yet, go to www.facebook.com/voltageentertainment and become a fan. I'll be posting an update on my wrestling web series later this weekend.
Have a Great Weekend and Be Safe Everyone!

A new tray pack line for Sweet-Pac brand corn on the cob will is designed to give consumers convenience while saving retailers labor costs and providing easy display options, according to officials at Scotlynn Investments.
Production started July 20 on the new line and will run year round at the company's Vittoria, Ontario, facility, said Joe Didiano, director of produce sales and operations.
Didiano expects the line to pack 600,000 to 700,000 cases of corn trays this year. He said Scotlynn believes that volume will double in the second year of operation.
"We invested in a tray pack line due to significant customer demand in Canada," Didiano said Aug. 1. "Retail chains are moving more toward value-added products for their customers and tray pack corn provides a quick and convenient pick-up-and-go pack for consumers."
Consumers literally see another benefit with tray-packed corn because they can see the quality of the cobs and kernels without having to husk the corn, Didiano said. That translates into savings for retailers who don't have clean-up costs.
The trays also save time for produce aisle employees when it comes to stacking displays.
Scotlynn launched the tray pack line with 12x5 count and 8x5 count packs. Soon the Vittoria, Ontario, company plans to offer 12x8 count club packs and 12x4 count packs for U.S. customers.
The company packs Sweet-Pac branded corn and has private label programs for retail customers. Scotlynn farms about 4,000 acres total in Florida and Georgia, with another 3,600 acres in Ontario, giving the company year-round availability.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner held a news conference Friday morning to follow through on a campaign promise he made in response to a question from The Watchdog, ending the city's red-light camera program.
He held the news conference at the city's most prolific intersection for spitting out the $490 tickets, North Harbor Drive and West Grape Street, near San Diego International Airport. A work crew went to work immediately dismantling the equipment.
"Until midnight last night this system used robotic technology to capture unsuspecting motorists in the San Diego version of a traffic trap," Filner said in a statement prepared before the news conference. "This is not the way to enforce the traffic laws or teach people about the traffic laws. The best deterrent is a police officer, writing citations and talking to citizens.
"I have listened to residents who are angry and confused about the reliability of this system. I have heard from traffic engineers about accident statistics and changing traffic patterns on our roadways," he said. "These cameras are history on San Diego city streets."
That makes today the first day the city's red light camera program has been shut down since 2001, when it was shut down for a year to evaluate its effectiveness amid public outcries and lawsuits calling for it to end. The program dates to 1996, when the City Council first approved it, but contract issues kept the first cameras from becoming operational until 1998.
The city's 21 cameras at 15 intersections produced photos that officers used to issue nearly 20,000 tickets in 2011, with nearly a quarter of those coming from Harbor and Grape. In addition to the fine, the tickets cost drivers in auto insurance rate hikes.
The program's stated purpose is to reduce accidents, but a 2002 audit of the city's camera program found the Harbor and Grape intersection had so few accidents that the city should move its cameras elsewhere. The city did not follow through on that recommendation, and The Watchdog found a decade later there have been no accidents since 2001 at the intersection, according to the state's accident database and the San Diego Police Department.
View the Video Mayor Bob Filner Red Light Camera News Conference
The city's transportation department said the cameras at Harbor and Grape are there to encourage drivers to stop obstructing the notoriously-gridlocked intersection.
After the county and the state take their share of fine revenue, the city received about $1.9 million for the tickets in fiscal year 2011. The city kept about $200,000 after paying the officers who issued the tickets, a camera vendor and other costs.
The city's contract with its camera vendor expired on Thursday, in part because former Mayor Jerry Sanders decided to hand off a renewal decision to the next mayor, after The Watchdog determined that both Filner and unsuccessful mayoral rival Carl DeMaio opposed the program.
Filner told The Watchdog during the campaign that he opposed the program as set up, especially the high fines — which the city has no ability to lower, as they are set by state law.
"Right now, the program costs too much in terms of its fines, gives way too much money to the private contractor and does not serve as a safety and education program, but as a program to make money for the city," Filner said during the campaign. "I would end it without those safeguards. Let's educate. We want safety. We don't want to make money off it."
Several other San Diego County cities continue to operate red light cameras, including Del Mar, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, Solana Beach and Vista.
San Diego joins a long list of California cities that have ended their red light programs. Most recently, voters in Murrieta ended their program by ballot, banning the cameras from their city. Other cities that have banned cameras include Los Angeles, San Juan Capistrano, Pasadena, Grand Terrace, Bell Gardens, Corona and Glendale.
It was not immediately clear what would become of the thousands of tickets currently being processed through the justice system, but other cities that have ended their programs have usually allowed those to be processed as they normally would.
An unscientific U-T San Diego online poll on the subject (now closed) garnered 2,276 votes, 82 percent in favor of ending the program.
What should San Diego do when the red-light camera contract expires in January?
Renew it with the current 15 intersections 4% (96)
Renew it with more cameras 13% (290)
Renew it with fewer cameras 1% (29)
End the program 82% (1861)
2276 total votes.

8/26/2012 I love my 225 cc. I use it in the south of France (Mediterranean). The hull is perfectly fine and splits the waves. The build quality is top and the boat contains handy compartments. I am very proud of this boat powered by a 200 hp Verado, ideal for fishing or family outing.

7/20/2012 I bought this boat new 2005 Rigged it for lake erie walleye fishing with 9.9 kicker installed downrigger planerboard mast rodholders ect. been out 16 miles plus in some of the worst lake erie can give and it preforms like boats much larger and with open cockpit its easy to fish.
anthony - midland, PA
3/22/2012 I have had a 220LTS with a Yamaha 200HPDI since 2003. Amazing boat. I have been fishing out of the Morehead City area of North Carolina for about 40 years. In good weather we head out 25-30 miles for king, wahoo, and mahi. On foul days we head for the sounds and creeks for reds and trout. The water can get pretty tough in a hurry around here and this boat handles it well. I have thought about updating to a newer model, but why, to it's tribute very little has changed. Earl Bentz got it right the first time. If you want the most versatile saltwater boat out there, this is the ticket.
Bob - Winston Salem, NC
9/12/2011 I was down near Tequesta, Florida and chartered out of Jupiter Harbor, FL. Was able see first hand what this boat could do and I was truly amazed! Not only could it get into the shallowest of the shallows - it handled like a dream five miles plus later in the afternoon in 4 to 6 foot swells. I'm planning on going down to the factory to watch how Earl makes these beautiful boats and my order will be one of the first come Spring of 2012! I truly believe that his boats are the best in the business - period! I'm really looking forward to next year's fishing with the finest of what Triton has to offer. Thanks - DT
5/14/2011 I have looked at every bay boat company out there; from Pathfinder, Scout, Sea Chaser, Blackjack Marine, to Sea Hunt. Without a doubt, this boat takes the top. I'm a soldier who lives in Central Texas, but my passion is saltwater fishing. From fishing Bass Tournaments in Texas to 10 miles off Big Pine Key in 4-6 ft seas (not recommended) this boat has seen it all and never misses a beat. I have recently added a 4x7 Top to this rig and with the 8'6 beam still handles like a champ. I'm currently running a 250 Yamaha fully loaded w/ fuel will top 53 mph w/out a jack plate. This boat is HIGHLY recommended.

text: Former Massey official's sentencing delayed By Ken Ward Jr. July 29, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A sentencing hearing has been delayed again for a longtime Massey Energy official who pleaded guilty to mine safety violations and is cooperating in the criminal investigation of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster.David C. Hughart had been scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, after he pleaded guilty to two criminal charges that he plotted with other company officials to routinely violate safety standards and then cover up the resulting workplace hazards.On Friday, U.S. District Judge Irene Berger signed an order that delayed Hughart's sentencing until 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 in federal court in Beckley.Hughart's lawyer, Michael R. Whitt, of Lewisburg, asked for the delay because of a scheduling conflict involving a jury trial in a criminal case in Greenbrier Circuit Court, records show.The sentencing was previously delayed from June 25 because of another scheduling conflict.Hughart pleaded guilty in late February, and prosecutors confirmed that the former Massey official is helping them in a criminal probe that began with the deaths of 29 miners in an April 2010 explosion and has expanded into a broader examination of Massey safety practices.Hughart faces up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $350,000. In his deal with U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin, Hughart pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the government by thwarting U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration inspections and one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to violate MSHA standards.During a Feb. 28 plea hearing, Hughart alleged that former Massey CEO Don Blankenship was among those who took part in a decade-long conspiracy to subvert federal safety inspections at the company's mines. Blankenship has denied any wrongdoing.Hughart did not work at Upper Big Branch, and his plea deal involved crimes he has admitted committing between 2000 and 2010 at Massey's White Buck operations in Nicholas County, where two midlevel foremen and a Massey operating subsidiary were prosecuted five years ago for criminal safety violations. Prosecutors identified Hughart as having served as president of Massey's Green Valley "resource group," which included White Buck. But Hughart also worked for Massey for more than 20 years, serving as an officer or a director at more than two dozen subsidiaries, according to public records.In April, Goodwin's office revealed in court documents in a civil case that former Massey Energy executives and board members "may be, or may become" targets in the criminal investigation. So far in the probe, three people have pleaded guilty and a jury convicted a fourth.Last year, Berger twice delayed the sentencing of former Upper Big Branch Mine superintendent Gary May to give prosecutors more time to develop evidence based on May's testimony. May pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to thwart the federal government's mine safety efforts. He was sentenced in January to 21 months in prison, three years of probation and a $20,000 fine.Former UBB miner Thomas Harrah was sentenced to 10 months in jail after he admitted to faking a foreman's license when he performed key mine safety examinations at the mine between January 2008 and August 2009, and then lied to investigators about his actions.Berger sentenced a former Upper Big Branch security director, Hughie Elbert Stover, to 36 months in jail after Stover was convicted of two felonies: Making a false statement and obstructing the government probe of the mine disaster.Four government and independent investigations blamed the Upper Big Branch deaths on a pattern by Massey Energy of violating federal standards concerning mine ventilation and the control of highly explosive coal dust, both of which set the stage for a small methane ignition to turn into a huge coal-dust-fueled explosion. Goodwin reached a deal not to prosecute Alpha Natural Resources for any Upper Big Branch criminal liabilities that it inherited when it purchased Massey Energy in June 2011. That deal required the company to spend $80 million during the next two years on mine safety improvements and create a $48 million mine safety research trust fund. Alpha also agreed to pay $46.5 million in restitution to families of the disaster victims and $35 million to resolve pending Massey safety fines, including $10.8 million levied for violations related to the Upper Big Branch explosion.Goodwin's deal allowed federal officials to pursue potential criminal cases against any individuals -- including Massey executives -- for violations related to the mine disaster.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at email@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Most important: Managing change is more important than provoking it, and one manages change best by concentrating on people rather than on ideas. This is why Bush was so unpopular with the media and the intellectual classes while he was president: They wanted action, ideas, brilliant abstractions; whereas he focused on lots of personal phone calls to world leaders even when there was no crisis, so when a crisis came he had them in his pocket.
To wit, when the Chinese Communists killed large numbers of students at Tiananmen Square in the spring of 1989, the Bush Administration reprimanded Beijing, which angered the Chinese. But because Bush decided not to break or permanently downgrade relations with Beijing, that angered the intellectuals in New York and Washington. But it was Bush's middle path that safeguarded change in China and helped prevent a more sustained crackdown that might have set China back years. Indeed, by not humiliating Beijing, he encouraged the continuation of economic reforms that would transform the face of China — and Asia — for the better. And the Chinese leaders respected his views not only because he was the president but also because of the many years he had already spent in consultation with them while serving in other government positions (as the U.S. chief liaison to China and head of the Central Intelligence Agency).
Because of the way the Communist empire in Europe collapsed — suddenly, and on the whole peacefully — it is assumed that this was natural. It wasn't. The Kremlin allowed its empire to collapse because of two overarching reasons: the particular moral character of Mikhail Gorbachev and the calculated restraint of the Bush White House that was careful not to beat its chest over the fall of the Berlin Wall and thus provoke a Soviet military reaction. Bush's greatness was in the dog that didn't bark.
