The door has been opened for exceptional 15-year-olds to play in the OHL.
The league announced yesterday it has adopted a policy that will allow 14-year-old John Tavares of Toronto, who turns 15 in September, to be selected in Saturday's draft.
The Oshawa Generals, picking first after finishing last overall, will announce today they will take Tavares.
He had 83 goals and 147 points in 77 games with the Toronto Marlies minor midgets. He also played 16 games in Tier 2 junior with 23 points, including 11 goals.
Commissioner David Branch said the league acted under a proposal headed to Hockey Canada's annual general meeting later this month. If passed, it will allow only exceptional 15-year-old Canadians to play major junior.
At the moment, Hockey Canada permits 15-year-olds in major junior, although the OHL prohibits it.
Branch, who is also president of the Canadian Hockey League, is a member of a Hockey Canada committee that is studying the development of juniors.
Branch said an area the committee has been asked to look into is how to keep young players in Canada. He said the committee agrees that 15-year-olds shouldn't be eligible for major junior, except in cases where a player is deemed exceptional.
"The only reason there are restrictions on 15-year-olds in the OHL is because we put them in place," Branch said.
"If Hockey Canada flat-out rejects the ruling that allows John Tavares to play in our league, I would suggest we will continue to have a process in place to deal with exceptional players on a regional basis.
"But the only reason we have this is because Hockey Canada asked us to look at how to deal with the exceptional player."
There was speculation Tavares was headed for the United States Hockey League if he wasn't in the OHL next season. But Branch said the Hockey Canada committee was formed 18 months ago before the Tavares case.
The OHL drew up a panel to review an application by Tavares that he be granted exceptional-player status. It consisted of Kevin Burkett, a labour mediator and minor and Tier 2 coach; Frank Bonello, a former coach and GM and current director of NHL central scouting, and retired NHL player and current minor hockey coach and parent Doug Gilmour.
Branch said the panel had full and binding authority.
"We were mindful of not only the athletic challenges but also the emotional and academic challenges that would occur should a 15-year-old be permitted to play in the OHL," Burkett said.
The panel considered several reports, including one from Paul Dennis, a sports psychologist who interviewed Tavares to determine if he has the life skills to qualify as an exceptional player.
The panel also heard from a teacher; a coach, Bob Kitamura; the OHL's chief scout, and Tavares's mother.
Tavares also submitted an essay and was interviewed.
"We've also given the league a mandate to supervise his off-ice conditions and development during his first year of play," Burkett added.
Branch said the Hockey Canada committee has proposed that a national panel be established to hear future applications. There also would be a $1,000 fee, non-refundable if the application is rejected.
Tavares is represented by Brian Deasley of Siskinds Sports Management, a division of Siskinds The Law Firm, which has its head office in London.

Police in Howard County are warning residents about a possible holiday thief.
A security camera at a home in Columbia recorded a man following a UPS truck and stealing delivered packages from the front door area. It happened along Tamar Drive Nov. 28.
The man could be seen taking the boxes then putting them in a green Subaru station wagon. Police say the tags on that vehicle came up as stolen. They say it's unclear if the same tags are currently on his car.
There have been no other reports of stolen packages but police say it's possible someone didn't notice. They say you should check all of your holiday purchases to see if anything is missing. Police also suggest checking with family members to ensure they've received items you shipped.
If you recognize the man in the surveillance photo above or need to report your own case of stolen packages, you should call Howard County Police at (410) 313-2200.

Fundraising keeps school board member from behind bars
District 833 School Board Member Jim Gelbmann got himself out of fundraising jail Thursday, June 18. His fictional bail-bond money came from some unexpected sources.
Gelbmann, also Minnesota Deputy Secretary of State, has been raising money for the past two months for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The Maplewood-Woodbury chapter asked him to participate in the jail scenario and set his "bail" at $1,600.
When he achieved the goal, his bail bondsman upped the ante and said he had to raise more money. When he achieved that goal, it went up again.
"They told me I'm a flight risk," he told potential donors. "Maybe that's because I've had so many jobs."
Gelbmann was also very busy during the senate race, recount and subsequent court actions to decide the winner between Al Franken and Norm Coleman.
During the effort to sort and ratify ballots he came in contact with judges and with attorneys for both sides.
While looking for MD donors, he got money from Matthew Haapoja, one of Coleman's attorneys, Judge Elizabeth Hayden from St. Cloud, who served on the three-judge panel, and Judge Edward Cleary, member of the state canvassing board.
"It's well known that I'm a Democrat," Gelbmann said while waiting to hear from enough donors to make $5,400 and get out of the make-believe jail at the Woodbury Fire Department.
He feels good about support from both Republicans and Democrats, which confirmed his opinion that he was truly non-partisan in performing his job in the secretary of state's office.
Gelbmann, who headed the Minnesota office for former Sen. Mark Dayton, got a donation from his former boss, and from people he worked with during that time.
Many state legislators also donated including State Rep. Denny McNamara, R-Hastings.
A friend from his college days also contacted him.
"I told him it must be a sign from on high that I should ask him to help with my bail," Gelbmann said. "He first wanted to know how much it would cost to keep me there."
Gelbmann said he had the highest bail of anyone in the Woodbury-Maplewood area and had fun doing it.
His involvement in the effort is mostly because muscular dystrophy strikes children, whose lives he hopes he's improving as a school board member.
"I see several who have muscular dystrophy at graduations," he said "My heart goes out to them."
Gelbmann also got numerous donations from District 833 teachers and administrators.

CNN, April 11, 2014
Honesty may be the best policy, but when delivering bad news to patients, physicians must prepare to pay a price for that honesty. You simply do not like the doctor who tells you what you are afraid to hear. In this age of greater accountability in health care, the satisfaction of patients and the subtle nuance of likeability is connected directly to doctor payment. And patients who don't like what their doctor tells them won't "like" that doctor on the growing number of physician rating services springing up on the Internet. The complex task of adding unwelcome and difficult content to a conversation may impede physicians from having dialogues about the most sensitive issues.

How to Write Effective "Reason" Statement in the FamilySearch Family Tree
Whenever you add, edit, or delete information about an individual in your family tree, you should explain why you are making the change. This reasoning is intended to prevent improper changes and to direct other interested researchers to the sources that prove the information.
In your explanation, include the following types of information, as appropriate to the situation:
- Write clearly. Use complete sentences.
- Avoid using "I" statements (such as "I found that... or "My research indicates..."). Write in third person (such as "The census shows that..."). This keeps the tone professional and neutral. It also focuses the explanation on the the ancestor whose data is being recorded and the sources used to find the data.
- Indicate what information is clearly supported by sources and which is not. For example, if the birth month and year came from a census, say so.
- Identify the sources you used. If possible, you should also attach those sources to the individual.
- If the records contain contradictory or incorrect information, explain why you think the version that you added is the most correct in spite of the evidence provided by other records.
- Explain why the information contradicts family stories.
- Explain why the information is correct, even though it may seem illogical.
- If you derived or estimated the information, explain how you reached your conclusion.
- If you are deleting information, explain why the information you are deleting is not correct and why it should be deleted instead of corrected.
- Point out relevant discussions.
The reason fields are not the place to hold a dialog or debate with other users. Do not use them to post questions or requests for information. If an issue needs to be discussed or if you need to request additional information, use the Discussions feature rather than a reason field.
All Sources Agree
If all of the sources about a piece of information agree, you can simply state those sources. For example:
Mary's birth certificate, 1920 U.S. census, marriage certificate, and death certificate all indicate that her full name was Mary Ellen Blackshaw.
Sources Contradict Each Other or Family Stories
Frequently, sources contradict each other. Sources may contradict family stories that have been passed down. In these cases, your reason statement should explain why you entered the version you did.
Here are two examples:
Mary's birth certificate and marriage certificate indicate that her full name was Mary Ellen Blackshaw. On the 1920 U.S. census, her name is shown as Ellen. Throughout her life, she went by her middle name to distinguish her from her older cousin, whose name was also Mary.
Mary always told her family that she was born in 1902. Her church membership records (which contain information that she provided herself) state that she was born in 1902. She listed that as her own year of birth on the birth certificates of her children. That same year was listed on her obituary and on her tombstone. However, she appears on the 1900 U.S. census as a 6-month-old baby. Her birth certificate also indicates that she was born in 1900.
No Source Exists for Information Being Deleted
Sometimes information appears in the tree, and no source can be found to validate it. If you delete the information, provide a reason for doing so:
Mary's name has been documented on several sources, including her birth certificate, various censuses, church records, and so forth. None of the original sources found to date indicate that she had a middle name.
An Index Contains an Error
Indexes of original records frequently contain transcription errors.
The Utah Marriage index shows their date of marriage to be 14 June 14, 1927, however, the marriage license, church records, and Western States Marriage Index indicate they were married 15 June 1927, in Manti, Utah.
Estimated and Approximated Dates
Sometimes a source contains partial information. It may list only the person's age instead of providing a birth date. In the Family Tree, you can enter the estimated birth date and explain how you obtained it:
A family journal indicates that William was seven years old during the 1918 flu pandemic.

Dell takeover fuels Mac panic
When Dell announced a buyout of systems management appliance company KACE last week there was one big question customers wanted to ask — did that mean support for Macs and Linux was about to get dumped from its products?
A large part of KACE's business has been Windows-focused especially with many companies seeking to migrate directly from Windows XP to Windows 7 KACE marketing vice president Wynn White told APC. However even smaller organisations (KACE's main target) typically have to deploy and manage multiple OSes White noted and support for Max and Linux platforms has been a major selling point for the company since it begin selling its appliances in 2005.
As such last week's surprise news that Dell was acquiring KACE for an undisclosed sum quickly got the phones ringing at the company's Mountain View headquarters. "Since we announced the acquisition on Thursday a bunch of our customers have been calling in and saying 'Look I'm really concerned that I've got a lot of Macs and Dell are not going to care about that'" White said. While Dell offers Linux options on several server models and a handful of laptops its business PC and server marketing has been dominated by Windows.
Despite that perception nothing will change White stressed. "It couldn't be more untrue. One of the reasons why Dell acquired us is because we have support for both Mac and Linux and we intend to enhance it going forth" he said. The last major update to the KBOX software used on its appliances incorporated support for both Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
KACE boasts around 1400 active customers and is currently expanding its Australian presence to spearhead a push into the Asia-Pacific. It's also about to move into new offices in Mountain View having finalised a long-planned move just prior to the Dell buyout. At least that neighbourhood has given it practice in big-company politics: a large chunk of the local real estate is owned by Google.

Tom Higgins has a few guidelines for the bye week, but the first rule is the time off doesn't start until Saturday.
The Calgary Stampeders coach's biggest fear is having 42 players whose minds have left town before their bodies follow.
But once the Stamps play the B.C. Lions tomorrow night at McMahon Stadium (8 p.m., TSN, subject to blackout), they can get ready for nearly eight days off.
"It's already been addressed," Higgins said. "Having been in the CFL for many years, I've seen teams go on the bye before they play their game. That can be disastrous.
"We had the opportunity to talk about it -- to make sure to take care of it afterwards -- but make the necessary arrangements beforehand.
"They knew about this when we gave them the yearly practice plan, so this shouldn't be a surprise to them. Half the players are splitting town, and that's not a bad thing. We want them to be out of town when they're supposed to be out of town, but not before."
Higgins has a few rules for what they should do on their time off.
"What we don't want them doing is motorcycle riding without a helmet, skydiving without a parachute or rock climbing without safety harnesses," Higgins said with a smile.
"White-water rafting is OK if they have a life vest and a tour guide. Common sense needs to prevail.
"Everyone lives their life a bit differently. I won't be jumping out of an airplane, although it would be exhilarating. I will keep my feet on the ground for the time we have off."
George will see action
With the return of Anthony Gargiulo from his ankle injury, the Stampeders are working on keeping Tearrius George on the field.
George has taken a few reps this week at nose tackle and would likely rotate with Randy Chevrier and Demetrious Maxie. George has a sack in each of the past two games, while seeing more action because of injuries to Gargiulo and Keron Williams (groin).
"He's developing into a decent inside pass rusher in this league," said defensive line coach Casey Creehan. "Teams know his number now. They're going to be talking about him in game planning.
Stamps DB Crance Clemons has returned to his starting spot at cornerback, moving Sadrick Williams to the halfback position in place of Calvin Bannister ... OL Jay McNeil still hasn't participated in drills and appears set to miss his third straight game.

Reading Group Guide
Discussion Questions
1. The story opens with a riot at the Palais Garnier opera house. Why do you think the author chose to begin the story with this incident? What thematic or other connection does it have to the rest of the story?
2. Consider the characters of Léonie and Meredith. How is each woman shaped by the era in which she lives? Do you think the story would have gone differently if their places were reversed, and Meredith had been in born the eighteenth century and Léonie in the twentieth?
3. Claude Debussy is a presence throughout the book, yet he never appears in person. What is the symbolic importance of his presence in the story? More broadly, what thematic role does music play in the novel?
4. Victor Constant commits a series of murders in order to convince the people of Rennes-les-Bains that the demon who terrorized the town in Jules Lascombe's time has returned. Do you believe that these earlier attacks were genuinely the work of the demon? Or does the demon always work through the hands of men?
5. It appears that Audric Baillard is much older than he seems. What secrets do you think he is hiding? Is it more than a coincidence that he died in the presence of Shelagh O'Donnell, who then plays an important part in revealing Julian Lawrence's crime? What do you think he was looking for in the Sabarthès mountains?
6. Did you find Anatole's decision to face Victor in the duel heroic or foolish? How is this decision indicative of his character? Are there flaws in that character that made his fate inevitable?
7. Victor Constant, Julian Lawrence, and the demon Asmodeus are all described as having the same penetrating blue eyes. What is the significance of this? Is it possible that, as with Meredith Martin and Léonie Vernier, there is a blood connection between them?
8. By the end of the novel, we have learned that the story we have just read was written by Meredith Martin. Does this alter your view of the story in any way?

Be nice to read to redsky's review
Seems over-hyped
I've pre-ordered the vinyl of this album, and only listened to the two tracks that they put up for download on last fm.
"With post-hardcore on the verge of extinction, bands like La Dispute, Touché Amore, and Pianos Become the Teeth stepped out of the realm of post-clichés, and decided to revolutionize the genre"
That statement is the only problem I have with this review. Those bands epitomize cliche, but whatever.
Album Rating: 4.5@FilupLees
great review
This is pretty promising so far.
Digging: Delta Sleep - Management
Album Rating: 4.5@FilupLees I was aiming at modern corporate funded post-hardcore bands. I mean, honestly, this is really just some SOLID post-hardcore that is topped with technical excellence. It doesn't really escape any cliches of GOOD post hardcore, but it sure isn't modern "post-hardcore."

When Georgia flanker Israel Troupe learned that he would be redshirted his freshman year, he was not happy.
But having a year to become familiar with the playbook and the weight room has provided the 6-foot-1, 212-pound Tift County native with a different insight on the subject.
"At the time, I was not excited about it," said Troupe, one of nearly a dozen Bulldogs who have caught at least one pass this season and a member of a receiving squad that includes Mohamed Massaquoi, Kris Durham and A.J. Green. "But thinking back on it now, my redshirt year enabled me to understand the offense a little bit better and recognize the different coverages, and it also got me in the weight room, to get bigger and faster."
The coaching staff's vision - and Troupe's patience - is starting to pay off as the redshirt freshman has appeared in all three of Georgia's games, recording three receptions for 31 yards. It is expected that he'll be part of the receivers' rotation today when the Bulldogs face Arizona State in Tempe.
"That's going to be real important (against Arizona State)," he said. "Their stadium is called 'The House of Heat.' Keeping guys fresh is going to be critical. It makes me feel good inside to know that the coaches have noticed me at practice and are giving me a shot to go in. I just want to contribute and help us reach our goals."
Troupe's coaches have definitely taken note of his progress, especially in terms of his self confidence.
"He's coming along very well," said Georgia coach Mark Richt of Troupe. "He's caught every ball thrown to him, he's tried to block extremely hard and he knows what to do. He weighs 212 pounds, and he had a good offseason in the weight room. He's a redshirt freshman and he's got plenty of career ahead of him, but he's earned some playing time."
"His confidence level has picked up," added receivers coach John Eason. "We had a conversation about what he needed to do. He was concerned about his playing time and was told what he needed to do to earn more playing time, in terms of blocking and effort and the overall game. He's picked that up and he's responded very well."
Massaquoi has also observed Troupe's increased poise, and he's not surprised to see it.
"The confidence is growing," said Massaquoi. "Whenever you have a chance to go out there and have success, no matter how big or small, it's something to build off of and it can really become a snowball effect where you get better and better every opportunity you get. I've always had confidence in him. I've had a chance to see him every day - from the spring to the summer to now. I'm very excited seeing him and the other young receivers doing what I know they can do."
While Troupe's speed and sure hands are welcome commodities, he's also finding out how important blocking is for a Georgia receiver.
"We harp on downfield blocking because you never know when Knowshon (Moreno), Caleb (King) or Richard (Samuel) is going to come out," he said. "Any of our backs can take it to the house at any time, so you have to be ready and in position to block."
"His downfield blocking still needs to improve, but I'm really pleased with the direction he's headed now," said Eason. "He's getting after people."
Describing last weekend's visit to South Carolina - his first road trip as a Bulldog - as "nerve-wracking," Troupe said he's anxiously awaiting today's Arizona State battle.
"This is going to be a fun trip," he said. "I'm looking forward to it. It's a different thing out west - they say the air and the heat is a whole lot different, so we'll have to get accustomed to that. I'm trying to work hard this week and hopefully it will carry over to (today's game)."

As with each and every event, there will be an unprecedented delegation of thought leaders attending, including: Carlos Raimar, CSO for Telefonica Vivo; Wesley Schwab, Head of Marketing Innovation for Telefonica Vivo; Marco Goncalves, Head of OSS for TIM Brazil; Virgilio Amarel, CTO for TVA; and Cecilia Pedraza, CTO for Cablemas. There will also be a selection of big-name sponsors at the event, including: Cognizant, Peer App, EMC, Oracle and Acme Packet.
Dan Acton, CTO/COO/Co-founder of Crown Interactive, was an attendee at last year's summit. He said: "The event has a very focused and a very time-efficient way of organizing workshops and meetings. At the same time, we have had the opportunity to delve into topics with those solution providers and service providers on some of the current topics of the day."
Agustin Muñoz was another attendee at last year's summit. In agreement, he says: "The event has been great - it's one of the best events I've ever been to of this kind. It's very important to us that we attend next year's summit as well."
Joseph DeForca, NG Telecoms LA 7 Project Director for GDS International, the global events company behind the event, says: "Latin America is currently an emerging market, and represents massive potential in the telecom sector. With this in mind, GDS International's NGT Latin America summit is set to utilize the wealth of opportunities on offer. We have an exceptional program lined up and some of the most influential delegates in the region scheduled for attendance - I believe this will be our best summit globally."

TORONTO - The Argos made a big push to fill the Rogers Centre for the 100th Grey Cup on Monday.
Tuesday or Wednesday they could see an even bigger push to right the franchise with the expected hiring of Scott Milanovich as the teams new head coach.
The irony is a coaching change in Toronto could very well push Grey Cup sales much further than any promotional sales day the Argos marketing department could envision.
Jim Barker, who carried dual titles of head coach and general manger would retain the GM portfolio if Milanovich, a guy Barker brought into the league when he was with Calgary in 2003, took over the sideline duties. Barker was not available for comment Monday and through the weekend was maintaining an undecided status on whether he was ready to relinquish either of his titles.
Coming off a 6-12 season there was always the chance team owner David Braley would insist upon Barker giving up one of the job titles.
TSN was reporting earlier on Monday that Milanovich had agreed verbally to a deal but the two sides had yet to come to a contractual agreement.
Milanovich would appear to be the perfect tonic for what primarily ails the Argos namely a punchless offence. Over the past three years he has overseen the most potent offence in the league and while you can argue he had Anthony Calvillo to carry it out, the identity of the Argos quarterback of 2012 remains very much up in the air.
This past season in Montreal, the Als didnt finish the way they wanted (with another Grey Cup) but they were the leading scoring team in the league and had more first downs than any other offence in the league.
Individually Milanovichs offence produced the leagues most dangerous quarterback, tailback and receiver. Granted you dont get far without individual talent, but Milanovichs system has to receive some of the credit for Montreals offensive dominance.
Milanovich entered the league in Calgary but it was in Montreal where he made his name. He joined the Alouettes in 2007 as quarterbacks coach and has been the teams offensive coordinator over the past four years a stretch that included three trips to the Grey Cup championship game and two wins once there.
Reports this past weekend that Milanovich would join the good ship Argonaut as the teams offensive coordinator were premature. For one thing, the Alouettes would not allow Milanovich to make a lateral move. In order to receive permission to interview Milanovich, the Alouettes required that any move he would make would be a promotion.
Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman, in an e-mail to the Montreal Gazette, confirmed an interview took place last week.
Milanovich is also up for consideration for the Saskatchewan Roughriders vacant head coaching position. Like the Argos, the Riders have received permission to interview Milanovich who interviewed for the same job last off- season when the Green Riders opted to go with defensive whiz Greg Marshall.
The Argos made what turned out to be a half-hearted effort at recruiting Milanovich for the same job two years ago before they hired Barker.
Their offer at that time something in the $190,000 a year area was deemed too cheap and Milanovich remained in Montreal as the offensive coordinator for $40,000 less.
The Argos coaching carousel since Michael Clemons stepped down in 2007 has played a huge role in the Argos inability to be consistent contenders.
Never has that ability been more important than this season when the Argos play host to the historical 100th Grey Cup.
Barker followed up a solid 9-9 season with a disappointing 6-12 mark in 2011. Milanovich, at 38, is still young enough that he would have plenty of growing years left with this team.
It would be a nice first step in the restoration of a once revered franchise that has fallen on some hard times.

Oh Valentine's Day. Perhaps society's most emotional holiday, which is saying something considering the vast majority of this goddamn country celebrates another festive occasion in which their savior was tortured and murdered. Slowly. Yet, everyone still earmarks this one on their calendars–usually with a little heart. How thought-provoking.
In honor of Cupid and his contumelious nature, Cinema Blend writer Jessica Grabert and I have decided to join forces on the greatest mixtape ever created. Yesterday, we took a little field trip to Staples and loaded up on Post It Notes. Then we took meticulous, irreverent and sometimes pointless musings and wrote them down throughout the day on said little yellow pads of paper. Only the most steamy and judgmental made the final cut, and each of the chosen few were given their own accompanying song. Side 1 is all Jessica, and side 2 is all Mack.
1) Bitch by Meredith Brooks: On the bus, minding my own business, my iPod dies while I'm having this feminist moment and I'm subjected to the following conversation. Girl 1: "I know it's only Valentine's Day, but John just doesn't like get it. I told him nothing under two carats this year." Girl 2: tittering in a girlish manner, "Like he can't afford it, Seth already bought me roses, but I can't wait for tonight." Girl 1: "What do you think he's going to get you?" Girl 2: "I don't know, but it better be something good if he expects any tonight." Sick.
2) Let Go by Frou Frou: Between classes, I go home to grab lunch. My roommate's watching the part of The Holiday that is offset by "Let Go." She's also canoodling on my chair with some boy I've never seen before. I think I liked it better when she had a steady boyfriend. I know I could have gone a full day without the blatant image of her bare tits bouncing while Frou Frou croons gently in the background.
3) Rape Me by Nirvana: Five minutes later, I'm eating a fiber bar on my bed and blaring this ode to everything unromantic through my speakers. I'm amused.
4) Stardust by Louis Armstrong: Comparative literature. A mixed breed of English, tin pan alley, and that basic kindergarten "Match Game." The waste of life rich kids take over the back, playing on their laptops and writing notes to their friends. Yes, as if it is middle school all over again. I know this because I sit in the back, but only so I can read without being subjected to judgmental looks by my professor. Anyway, there are three I'm-killing-myself-to-tan clones in my class—a blond, a brunette, and a redhead, aptly enough. They typically sit in their own little cancer corner, filing away on their nails and chatting idly. Today, two of them are desperately flirting, almost cooing, rubbing, touching, and complimenting the posse of boys sitting near them. The queen bee redhead is sitting back, filing her nails as usual. I bet she already has a date, that bitch.
5) Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker: English. I'm busy writing "Notes 2/14/08" at the top of my crisp white paper, when I glance over. Instead of the date, the pretty boy next to me has written "Valentine's Day!!" in bold bubble letters. He's carrying around a single rose in the side pocket of his backpack. Funnily enough, we're discussing sexual violence in Blues music from the Delta. I find it fitting.
6) Happiness is a Warm Gun by The Beatles: I don't have a date. I'm dating someone, but they live practically halfway across the universe, making Valentine's Day all the more uninviting. On the other hand, I get the privilege, nay, the pleasure, of waiting tables during this holiday hell. I've put on The White Album and am blaring "Happiness is a Warm Gun." Not. Excited. At. All.
7) Don't Talk (Put your Head on my Shoulder) by The Beach Boys: Walk into work. We're crowded already, at least for early afternoon. I'm momentarily excited because Brian Wilson is crooning through the speakers. Then I realize what song is playing and come to the conclusion that the corporation who runs this joint has no idea what they are doing. Seriously, this is the best song a seafood chain can play on Valentine's Day? I mean, this song is brilliant, but harrowing. Am I really supposed to pass out chocolate martinis with a sidecar of Hershey's kisses while Brian Wilson is making me want to slit my wrists?
8) Yellow Submarine by The Beatles: I'm breaking the mix tape "no doubles" rule, but I can't help it. My fourth table is a college couple wanting nothing whatsoever to do with me. C'mon, I just bring the food people. I'm momentarily irritated, until I realize the female half of the couple is all doe-eyed and misty looking—like she's just gotten out of bed or…or possibly been crying. I think he might be breaking up with her. To think, all she has is Ringo for solace? I kind of wish The Beach Boys would get thrown back on.
9) 1,2,3,4 by Feist: (Note: this should never appear on a well-thought out mix tape. Ever.) There's only one song I can think of that I dislike more than "1,2,3,4" and it's about an umbrella, which is saying something. The point is, business was dying down and I assumed I would be sent home when I received one last table. Of course, Feist plays while the guy paying leaves me four dollars on a fifty dollar ticket. Four? That, my friends, is bizarre. I'm fairly certain he and Feist have some sort of number conspiracy going on, or maybe the man simply needs help counting. I don't need this, the man was with his wife, but kept staring at my chest. He could of at least thrown out a fiver. It's my firm belief that rednecks should be banned from eating out.
1) Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran: It's colder than a Yeti's nutsack outside. Some poon clown told me it was supposed to get up to fifty-five today. Too bad that blind optimism doesn't extend to my defrosters, which may or may not have decided to hibernate for the winter. At least my iPod will emancipate me from this godawful, hellish slavery. Nope. It's chosen "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran. Perhaps, this is Steve Jobs' idea of a joke. God, I hate Apple.
2) Talk Dirty To Me by Poison: I'm in my Creative Writing class. We're brainstorming words and phrases associated with St. Valentine and his economy-boosting debacle of a holiday. Candy. Cards. Chocolate. I throw out crying. My teacher laughs, no doubt repressing memories of her last five February 14ths, all of which likely ended in uncontrollable sobbing. Now, we're being forced to write a six line poem. This'll do...
I wanted to pick you flowers.
I wanted to buy you roses.
I brainstormed for hours.
But then I discovered.
The only gift I'd give
thrusted in your satin covers.
3) Turning Japanese by The Vapors: I drive to class everyday. Most people take the bus, but I'd rather pay a dollar seventy-five a half hour to avoid the proletariat. Plus, I get to park twenty yards from the building. The endless stream of cars waiting to pay look like early photographs of those heinous, long lines at Ellis Island. What the hell is the holdup? Oh my God. An attractive woman has just left the tollbooth. She has frazzled hair and a rose. You've got to be kidding me. The creepy Asian guy who collects tickets for a living is going to get more ass than me today? God and I aren't friends anymore.
4) Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel: I'm at the gas station, procuring my Mountain Dew for the day. I normally wait until the evening, but eleven thirty seems like just as good at time as any right now. The cashier is in her fifties. Her nails are freshly painted, and her cheery smile contrasts sharply with the sad eyes it half-circles beneath. I can tell she used to be beautiful, but decades of gradual disappointment and broken hearts have darkened her still slightly rosy cheeks. I want to make her feel beautiful, if only for a second. I want to excite the tired little girl inside her. It didn't need to be like this. One or two different choices, and she could have been a trophy wife with two kids in Medical School. I make small talk–mostly about the weather and slippery driving conditions. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will tell her how gorgeous she is.
5) Splish, Splash by Bobby Darin: I just got out of the shower. I'm a huge whore for hot water hitting me all up in the face. Plus, it's a temporary escape. Everything is always fine within the narrow, elongated confines of the bathtub. Bookend Bobby Darin's goofy voice against the drain's slurpy chortle, and it's an instant pick me up on par with caffeine or cocaine, if you're feeling swirly.
6) Boom Boom Boom by Vengaboys: The wacky tidal wave of senseless dancing has manifested itself into a typhoon of family room tomfoolery. If Norman Rockwell was resurrected, he'd surely ask for a second round of swift death after catching sight of my uncoordinated, 90s pop slice of Americana. Fuck him, though. His Prozac paintings mock my current level of ironic detachment.
7) Can't Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon: I've given up, aborted the cynical fight and accepted the cheesy, melodramatic embrace of sappy love songs. And what better place to start than with Billy Madison's favorite band? I always thought the third stanza contained the line You're a candle in the window, on a corndog winter's night. It never made sense, but I just went with it. The internet just told me it's cold, dark winter's night. I'm not sure why this is so depressing, but I feel lied to and violated.
8) Joy To The World by Three Dog Night: I'm suddenly in a phenomenal mood. Why? Because I fired up my hookah and packed in a large pile of mint tobacco. I'm not supposed to be smoking; in fact, I shouldn't be inhaling and blowing fumes everywhere. I quit, well, am trying to quit. This'll just be our little secret. I'll probably be pissed tomorrow morning at relieving my agitations all over my self-imposed ban, but what else is Valentine's Day about, if not immediate gratification?
9) Shelter From The Storm by Bob Dylan: It's dark outside. I just got home from dropping a friend off at the impound lot. He told a meter maid to go fuck herself. Apparently, Rita and her coworkers don't take kindly to that sort of abrasive jargon. Oh well. I'm finding comfort in Bob Dylan's sage-like advice right now, and I'm glad to know in less than three hours, I'll have found shelter from the shitstorm that is St. Valentine's Day.

Border Station Construction: Minimizing Costs and Leveraging Private Dollars
"Border Station Construction: Minimizing Costs and
Leveraging Private Dollars"
May 18, 2016
Good morning Chairman Barletta, Ranking Member Carson, and members of the Subcommittee. My name is Michael Gelber, and I am Deputy Commissioner of the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Public Buildings Service. Thank you for inviting me to this hearing on land ports of entry (LPOEs) construction.
GSA's mission is to deliver the best value in real estate, acquisition, and technology services to government and the American people. As part of this mission, GSA maintains a close partnership with the Department of Homeland Security – Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to meet that agency's space needs along our Nation's borders. CBP is our primary partner among the Federal inspection agencies stationed along America's land borders.
Successful execution of these land port of entry projects improves trade and commerce, creates jobs, and bolsters our Nation's security. GSA works to deliver these land ports to accomplish these objectives while minimizing costs.
GSA's Ongoing Partnership with CBP
GSA works closely with CBP to design, construct, maintain, and operate land ports of entry along more than 1,900 miles of border between the United States and Mexico and more than 5,500 miles of border between the United States and Canada.
On a daily basis, approximately 380,000 people cross the U.S.-Canada border. From 2000 to 2014, the combined value of trade between the U.S. and Canada and the U.S. and Mexico via surface transport increased by over 80 percent, from $546 billion in 2000 to $987 billion in 2014. Safe, secure, and modern land ports along our borders are critical to ensuring an efficient flow of commerce and people that support jobs and economic growth.
Of the 167 land ports of entry along the U.S. borders, GSA manages 124, of which the Government owns or partially owns 102. GSA's land ports of entry encompass more than 5.5 million square feet of space. Additionally, CBP operates 40 primarily smaller locations, mostly in remote, rural areas; these land ports of entry encompass approximately 477,000 square feet. The Department of Agriculture – Forest Service controls one land port of entry, and the Department of the Interior - National Park Service controls two ports.
Minimizing costs to deliver these critical land ports of entry begins with effective targeting of resources at the highest priority projects. GSA looks to CBP's priorities, which are developed using multiple factors and analyses.
CBP's prioritization process includes gathering data through a Strategic Resource Assessment planning progress, scoring identified needs at each port, conducting a sensitivity analysis on the initial ranking of needs, assessing project feasibility and risk, and establishing an executable capital investment plan.
Over the past 16 years, GSA has invested more than $1.8 billion from the Federal Buildings Fund to deliver more than 20 new land ports along our northern and southern borders. Since 2013, GSA has requested over $1 billion in support of land port modernization, including GSA's FY2017 request of $248,213,000 to reconfigure and expand the land port of entry in Calexico, California, and $5,749,000 for design and construction of a new animal inspection facility for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at the Pembina, North Dakota land port of entry. Of these requests, Congress has provided approximately $700 million through FY 2016.
GSA works closely with CBP to ensure CBP's priority projects are integrated into GSA's larger multiyear priority plan. To this effect, GSA places at least one land port of entry in each fiscal year's priority planning list.
CBP and GSA consult with stakeholder agencies at the onset of project planning and continue this relationship throughout project development and execution. CBP and GSA are partners in the border master planning process on the U.S. - Mexico border. In addition to coordination with state and local agencies, the border master planning process also includes Mexican federal, state and local government entities as well as other Federal agencies including State Department, Department of Transportation (Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, etc.) and when appropriate, private partners as well (railroads, for example). The resulting Border Master Plan is a listing of project priorities that state and local governments rank regionally and provide guidance to help CBP and GSA rank projects nationally.
With respect to land ports at the northern border, GSA again works closely with the Department of State to coordinate with government offices at all levels in Canada.
Without the full funding requested in the President's annual budget, GSA cannot execute the land port upgrades that are critically needed.
Alternative Resources in Support of Land Port Projects
GSA's ability to fund land ports of entry has historically been supported by the appropriations provided by Congress. GSA has seen greater interest in finding alternatives to Federal appropriations to support the delivery of high-priority land port projects, including donations through GSA and CBP authorities.
Importantly, when assessing the viability of any project, GSA and CBP look comprehensively at the full life-cycle cost of a port. This analysis includes the funding amount and source of that funding to operate and maintain the facility. If an alternative funding source might be available to construct a land port of entry, GSA and CBP still may need to obtain funding to address the other costs associated with the project. Thus, acceptance of what appears to be a "cost-free" donation could ultimately result in additional costs to the Government. At the same time, if the investment is required to address critical commerce and security requirements at the border, a donation would result in lower costs to the Government than if the Government had to make the full investment. When evaluating a donation, GSA and CBP will continue to weigh these various cost implications relative to the opportunity's impact on CBP operations, border security, trade and travel, and local and regional economic benefits.
The Section 559 Program
GSA has longstanding authority to accept unconditional gifts of real and personal property from other public or private entities. GSA has used this authority on occasions when state or local governments, and in a few cases private sector entities have elected to donate land or other real property to GSA.
Congress has supported efforts to find land port of entry funding alternatives by providing CBP additional statutory authority to receive donations and reimbursement from State, local, and private entities. In FY 2013, CBP received limited authority to enter into reimbursable service agreements with private sector entities for the provision of certain inspection services[1]. Congress expanded CBP's ability to execute these reimbursable service agreements, while at the same time broadening GSA's and CBP's donation acceptance authorities, through section 559 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 (the "Section 559 Donation Acceptance Authority")[2].
As required by the Section 559 Donation Acceptance Authority, GSA and CBP worked collaboratively to establish robust evaluation criteria, incorporating feedback from a broad range of stakeholders. The jointly developed Donation Acceptance Procedures Framework (the "DAP Framework") outlines the criteria and procedures for evaluating donation proposals. GSA and CBP used the DAP Framework to evaluate seven donation proposals received during the first open submission period, which concluded on December 23, 2014. Under this program, projects are being further assessed and developed in the Cities of Donna, El Paso, and Pharr, Texas. In Donna and Pharr, for example, the cities seek to donate inspection booths and related infrastructure; while in El Paso, the City would like to remove medians near the inspection stations to streamline the flow of traffic. In all three cases, the Programs of Requirements are complete or near completion, meaning that the projects may be soon ready for construction, pending agreement of relevant stakeholders.
GSA and CBP are currently in the process of reviewing DAP fiscal year 2016 proposals, which may provide additional investment in, and expedition of, infrastructure and technology improvements at ports of entry. We expect the announcement to be made in coming weeks.
Cost-Effective Project Delivery
GSA has a consistent track record of delivering capital projects on time and on budget; in FY15 we achieved 98% on time and 99% on budget and 78% of our projects are obligated within one month of the projected obligation date.
Our success is the result of leveraging our project resources across regions, ensuring the best available team is assigned to the projects. This risk based project team assembly along with consistent application of industry best practices such as: proactive project and market risk identification and management; selection of a delivery method that matches those project and market risk conditions; and a collaborative team posture has contributed to the success of projects.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today about GSA's ongoing partnership with CBP to cost-effectively improve the Nation's infrastructure along America's borders. I welcome the opportunity to discuss GSA's commitment to strategic investment in the Nation's land ports of entry, and am happy to answer any questions you may have.

wikiHow to Recruit Using Twitter
Recruiting via Twitter is one way for finding the right person. If you're following people who have the same interests as your business or work in the same field as your company, it is just possible that you'll spot someone who could be a great part of your team. Or, you could simply put out a call via Twitter for finding people for your company. This article suggests ways in which you might consider recruiting via Twitter.
1Start a Twitter account for your business and for you as an individual. If you haven't already started a Twitter account, get moving! It is recommended that you have an individual account as well as your business account because you'll find you interact with people quite differently depending on which account you're using. Different people will follow you as an individual and your business too.
2Watch for people who seem to be stellar performers on Twitter in your field of interest. The ones who are leaving updates that are perceptive, clued in and state of the art might be the sort of person you're looking for. Or perhaps it's someone who shows a very specific expertise and knowledge of a particular area. Seek to build a relationship with promising people with a future eye to approaching them about recruitment.
3Send a DM (direct message) to ask a promising person to meet up with you. Arrange a meeting in a cafe for a "casual chat". Don't make it obvious that you want to discuss work arrangements initially in case things don't work out but once you have a fair idea that this person is likely to fit in well as part of your business, then make an offer.
4Actively ask for job applications from people on Twitter. This is a different and less informal "head-hunting" approach but it's still pretty informal by the usual job advertising standards. Simply tweet that your business is looking for an "XYZ" person who can do "XYZ" and provide a short URL to the job specs. Ask for it to be retweeted about to increase the interest.
- Make the tweet interesting and leave all the details to the webpage the URL directs people too. Remember that Twitter is about short, sweet and catchy.
5Send out ongoing updates about the perks of working for your business even when you're not actively seeking recruits. This can tease people and make them think that they'd like to work for you when there are vacancies or to make the effort of sending in their interest even without an active call for applicants.
- You might let your followers know how much enjoyment current employees are having at work doing something, to both boost morale of current employees and to build a desirable picture among potential future employees following you or your business. For example, you could tweet "Our games team are having a ball with the new island they've just invented", or "All staff are having a half day volunteering at the SF zoo to help out", or "New flexi hours voted best in town by our staff", and so forth!
- Keep it light, fun and interesting. Don't bog down Twitter with the heavy, drab details!

There's hints of grapefruit and orange, but nothing dominates for me. I made it hot tonight, but it is lovely iced as well. Tonight's cup I added just a dash of sugar and it was exactly what I needed for my goodnight cuppa.

Apple is officially moving into San Jose.
The company received unanimous approval from the San Jose city council this week to develop on property it has leased in North San Jose for the next 15 years. The council approved Apple to build up to 4.15 million square feet of space, but what Apple plans to do with it is still a mystery.
Apple's senior director of real estate development, Kristina Raspe, told the city council that the company still doesn't have any firm plans on how the space will be used.

"Basic Instinct" screenwriter Joe Eszterhas is moving from racy to religious for his next Hollywood project.
The writer whose credits include the sexually explicit megabomb "Showgirls" plans an original screenplay on the Virgin of Guadalupe, an icon of the Virgin Mary that supposedly appeared to a Mexican peasant in the 16th century.
Once notorious as a heavy boozer and smoker in Hollywood, Eszterhas overcame his addictive habits and found God after he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
"This is a labor of love for me," Eszterhas said. "I have been hoping for some time to write a film that is both entertaining and inspiring."
Eszterhas' as-yet-untitled Guadalupe project is being written for Mpower Pictures, founded by producer Stephen McEveety, whose credits include Mel Gibson's religious blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ."
"Basic Instinct" with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone established Eszterhas as one of Hollywood's top screenwriters, while the much-anticipated "Showgirls" became one of the industry's all-time flops.

Cowboys' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan believes he'll eventually get a head coaching gig in the NFL--and when he does, he believes he'll be better than his brother Rex Ryan, who has gone to two consecutive AFC Championship Games (and defeated the Cowboys in week one).
In an interview with Al Michaels during the broadcast of Sunday Night Football--which featured the Cowboys' drubbing at the hands of the Eagles--Ryan was asked if the fact that he hadn't yet had the opportunity to be a head coach ate at him.
"I mean, I don't think it's going to eat much further," Ryan said, via the Dallas Morning News. "My chance will come. It only took my dad 25 years to get a chance and hell, he's better than me and [Jets coach and his brother Rex Ryan] put together."
When asked about his brother's work in New York, Ryan also made clear that--much like his brother--he doesn't lack for any confidence.
"He's had an opportunity," Ryan said. "He's done great with it. I'll be better than him, so I'll get my chance."

Utility officials say they will work with oceanographers to study offshore faults near the San Onofre nuclear plant.
Southern California Edison tells the Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/IyHu67 ) that it will collaborate with Scripps Institution of Oceanography in the seismic studies, beginning later this year.
The San Onofre plant's license expires in 2022, and the outcome of the studies could play into Edison's decision whether to renew it.
The plant is currently out of service as the utility tries to figure out why steam generator tubes are showing more wear than they should.
The group Alliance for Nuclear responsibility has called on regulators to require an independent peer review panel to oversee the studies, to make sure the right studies are done.

TWO shootings in Adelaide's northern suburbs have taken the total to nine across the state since New Year's Eve
The latest shooting was the fifth in less than a week but police again moved quickly to reassure the wider community the incidents were not random.
A man in his 20s was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital after he was shot in the leg outside his Taunton Ave home at Enfield, at about 8pm on Friday.
The man told police the shooting, in which three shots were fired, was a dispute over money but he didn't know who the gunman was.
It was the second shooting at Enfield in three days.
On Wednesday, several shots were fired through a garage door and window of a Learmonth Tce house once occupied by alleged former gang leader Vince Focarelli.
Then, early yesterday, a shot was fired at a house on Rose St, Prospect.
At 5.15am the occupant rang police to report someone trying to break into his house before neighbours heard a loud bang.
A bullet casing was found near the driveway. Police said the shooting was over a dispute and they were not treating it as a random incident.
Neighbours, who did not want to be identified, said there had been trouble at the house in the past. One neighbour said he heard people bashing on the front door and screaming "give me my money" during an incident there about two months ago.
Another neighbour said he was concerned about the shooting because a young girl was living at the house.
Acting Police Minister Michael O'Brien said the Government had persistently worked towards introducing new laws ensuring people responsible for gun crime were punished appropriately, despite the Opposition continually blocking them.
"South Australians deserve and expect the right to enjoy themselves without the fear of gun-related violence," he said.
But the Opposition insists the Government has failed to get tough on firearms crime and has promised a crackdown on gun-wielding offenders.
Opposition police spokesman Dan van Holst Pellekaan said, if elected, a Liberal government would "put a genuine focus on identifying, arresting and prosecuting the people with illegal firearms because without doubt they are the perpetrators of these crimes", but he failed to detail a policy.
"The police must be given the resources they require to stop these shootings," he said.
"Clearly, the shooters are laughing in the face of the Government's hollow words about being tough on crime.".

Last week, we got some sketchy images suggesting that Duck Hunt Dog, Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, Dark Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising, Bowser Jr., and Doctor Mario are joining the roster for the new Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U titles. Well, now we have some legitimate footage, it seems. A leaker has taken to Youtube to post up five videos featuring gameplay footage of characters like Shulk, Lucina, and Bowser Jr. We also get to see Ganondorf in action who, unfortunately, seems to retain his moveset found in both Melee and Brawl and not a reworked kit like people expected.
In the first video: Bowser, Bowser Jr., Pikachu, and Kirby duke it out on Battlefield.
In the second: Lucina and Shulk finish up their teams match against Ganondorf and Charizard on returning stage Yoshi\'s Island from Brawl. Here, we get to see Shulk in the results area.
The third video seems to be the full match that precedes the second video.
The fourth video is a brief snippet that shows Bowser Jr.\'s screen KO.
And the final video is a continuation of the earlier match on Battlefield.
Whereas Shulk and Bowser Jr. have a lot of screen time here, it\'s interesting to note that Dark Pit and Doctor Mario do not show up at all, as well as Duck Hunt Dog. Where could they be?

No.1 MomentToday, April's nursery held the Awards Given Ceremony & Children Day. I purposely let her wear the dress that I bought from Kids Islands. I also reminded her to say "Thanks", and smile to camera, when she was up on stage. In the car, she opened up her bag, and showed me her trophies
, the Top Student Certificate and a balloon. She also brought back a pack of goodies that she didn't want to show in her pictures. May be she felt that the goodies were not something worth to show off in picture. lol!
Back to baby sitter's house, she wanted to show the trophies to the babysitter. The bigger trophy was Top Student, the other two was one for Maths Contest Champion and Best Writing.

During pregnancy, jeans can be your best friend – but you don't have to splash out hundreds of pounds to find the perfect pair. 'I wouldn't advise women to make a huge investment when it comes to maternity jeans,' says denim guru Donna Ida. 'You won't want to see them ever again once you've had the baby!'
Luckily, there are plenty of affordable options and according to Donna you could even consider having an existing pair altered. 'If your jeans are 'lived in' they provide a bit of thigh room,' she says. 'We advise women to have their jeans altered from four months, when they've put on their immediate baby weight and their bum and legs should stay where they are until the end of the pregnancy.'
Here's our guide to buying the best – and most stylish – pair of maternity jeans possible...

Product Highlights
Reticle: 300 Blackout Horseshoe Dot300 Blackout Horseshoe Dot 5.56/7.62 Horseshoe Dot
Price: $1,299.99
Sig Sauer outfitted its battle-ready 4x30 BRAVO4 Wide Field Battle Sight with enviable optical features such as fully multi-coated lenses, Low-Dispersion (LD) glass, and aspherical lenses. While the coatings provide glare-free, clear and bright images, the LD glass was given aspherical curvatures in order to deliver true colors with high edge-to-edge image flatness and resolution. Another highlight of the optical system is the MegaView advanced prism and ocular design, which increases field of view to 10°.
At the core of this gunsight is the illuminated horseshoe-dot reticle. It is calibrated for 300 Blackout cartridges and features an illuminated horseshoe and a fine center dot, a medium vertical hair with holdover markings, and horizontal arrowheads pointing towards the center. The reticle's illumination circuit also features a Motion-Activated Illumination function (MOTAC) that powers up brightness when it senses motion and powers down when at rest.
CNC-machined from a single piece of magnesium, the housing meets tight specs imposed by unfriendly battlefields: it is ultra-lightweight, compact, durable, and waterproof to 13'. To allow mounting secondary accessories such as lasers or flashlights, the sight features a Picatinny accessory rail on top. Additionally, it offers slip-free knurled adjustment rings and knobs and a rubberized eyecup. For easy and fast attachment when time matters, the sight is outfitted with a quick release Picatinny mount.

Tea party recalls could backfire
Tea party forces are seizing on a new strategy in their attempt to purge Senate incumbents from office: the recall.
While it's not entirely clear whether their approach will meet constitutional muster, that hasn't stopped determined groups of grass-roots activists from trying in nearly a half-dozen states.
Story Continued Below
The most prominent attempt to recall a sitting senator is currently unfolding in New Jersey, where Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez awaits a state high court ruling on whether a recall effort against him can go forward.
The New Jersey lawsuit — which questions whether tea party forces can legally gather signatures to petition for a ballot recall of a federal official — is emerging as the beachhead for a movement that some activists envision sweeping the country, the next step in the evolution of tea parties as a political force.
New Jersey Democrats have denounced the effort but are nevertheless nervous enough over it — and the press coverage it's received — to launch a Web page designed to slam it. Party leaders have gone so far as saying it's racially motivated against a Hispanic official, a claim tea party activists vehemently deny.
Other states where nascent recall efforts have been launched against Democrats include Louisiana, where Sen. Mary Landrieu has been targeted, and North Dakota, where Sen. Kent Conrad is the target. Tea party leaders said their allies in Colorado and Michigan are also closely monitoring the RecallNJ effort for clues on how to proceed.
If the suit succeeds — a decision is expected in the coming weeks — it will almost certainly raise the alarm among incumbent senators, even those who aren't on the ballot this year.
Still, there are several considerable obstacles to recall efforts: There's currently no explicit provision providing for the recall of a federal official, and case law in some states has gone against such efforts before.
And if it loses the legal fight, some critics argue, the tea party movement could find itself dismissed as a transitory political force, a high-impact media phenomenon that doesn't have many legs beyond the peculiar 2010 cycle.
"There's two trains of thought," said RoseAnn Salanitri, a 60-year-old, stay-at-home mom who said she came to the idea of pushing for the Menendez recall after doing months of research on the law. "It can be [a loss] if we were inclined to roll over and play dead if they don't agree with our position."
But "we're prepared to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court if need be. Sure, [that would] stall the petition drive in New Jersey, but should it go to the U.S. Supreme Court, it literally opens the door to the entire country to do this. This is not Vegas — what happens in Jersey won't stay in Jersey."
Not everyone agrees.
"A recall effort of a U.S. senator is a massive waste of time; it's a legal impossibility," said Dan Gerstein, a strategist who's worked for Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman — another frequent target of recall activism, albeit from the left.
"Courts have ruled, it's a settled matter, and the only thing the tea partiers will do by pursuing it is show how naive and ineffectual they are," Gerstein added.
A longtime Democratic strategist who's worked with senators across the country agreed, saying, "Every couple of years, there's a recall movement that someone tries to push. It never really goes anywhere."

Computer uses weather forecast and sensors to predict when flooding or overflows may occur
The City of Love, with its magnificent boulevards, has a dark and dirty side hidden under its pavement—just like any other major city. More than 10 million people in the greater Paris area produce vast quantities of wastewater picked up by a sewer network several hundred miles long, purified by treatment plants and finally passed into the river Seine.
Responsible for this mammoth task is the "Inter-departmental Syndicate for Wastewater Treatment in the Greater Paris Region," or SIAAP for short. "One of the major challenges of this authority is to avoid flooding during heavy rainfalls", said Claire de Bouteiller of the French company ONDEO Systems. "Therefore, we have developed a software system for SIAAP that is able to predict floods so that the center can take corrective actions as quickly as possible."
Heavy rains have frequently overloaded the Paris sewer system in the past. The result: Large amounts of rain water collects in the streets and flows untreated into the river Seine.
"This also washes pollutants from streets and roofs into the river including such substances as zinc, motor oil, gasoline and heavy metals", says de Bouteiller. Unusually heavy rainfalls more than 20 years ago, for example, had caused a local fish kill in the river Seine.
Today, a dense network of sensors in the sewer pipes continuously measures the water level and flow rate.
"Based on this data, our software will then calculate a virtual model of the Paris sewer system," says the expert. "Together with weather forecast information, the computer can look into the future and generate a forecast that also localizes greater flooding problems up to 6 hours in advance during heavy rainfalls." The calculated data is forwarded to the control centers every 15 minutes, which are then continuously informed about the current status of the sewer network and know hours in advance exactly which sites are threatened by flooding or overflows. They are then able to implement timely countermeasures, for example, by opening or closing floodgates to take the pressure off certain sections.
After a successful pilot phase in 2007, the system is in operation since 2008 and has already proven itself. When in July 2010 in Paris —like 20 years ago—95 millimeters of rain deluged the city in just three days, the river Seine did not become contaminated.
