House Ways and Means Committee Members,
The proposed House Supplemental budget, if passed as proposed, will have a severe adverse impact on local law enforcement in our state, effectively turning the criminal justice clock back to 1974.
* Many agencies may opt not to send new hires to basic training since the training is now a fully unfunded mandate under the proposal. Local law enforcement agencies have already approved their budgets and this will be an unbudgeted expense for them.
* Agencies will not be able to send officers to trainings important to the Legislature, as set in statute, such as Crisis Intervention Training, Biased Based Policing, and Child Abuse Training because they have no funds in their budgets to pay these costs. These trainings were mandated by the state and thus should be paid for by the state.
* All officers in Washington are currently trained to the same standards. This change will result in officers receiving different training for the same tasks, putting officers and citizens at risk.
* Since 1974, there has been an assessment on traffic citations, written by local law enforcement officers, dedicated to fund this training (formerly collected by the PSEA until 2009). Although times are tough, the diversion of these dedicated funds severs the agreement between local governments, state government and the public regarding the use of these funds, and is inappropriate and puts the entire training system in jeopardy.
* This budget cuts 100% of the training for prosecuting attorneys who pursue cases on behalf of the state of Washington.
The CJTC currently charges local agencies for non-mandated training. The agency has already made the required budget reductions. The traffic ticket assessment has paid for mandated training for local law enforcement and prosecutors and these funds are still being collected today. This funding relationship should be retained.

Wads are essential for shotshell reloading. They fill extra space in the hull to make sure there is no room for the shot and powder to move around. They also act as a barrier between the powder and shot charges to ensure proper powder ignition, protect the shot from hot gasses and seal gasses behind the shot so that it can be propelled down the barrel. The wad also acts as a dual barrier to protect the barrel from becoming damaged by hard shot and to protect soft shot from becoming deformed by contact with hard barrel steel.

CONCORD — Contra Costa County has joined forces with the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California to tackle long-term health care issues facing West County residents in view of the financial crisis and possible closure next month of Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo.
County Health Services Director Dr. William Walker will serve as the chairman of a new task force of representatives of hospital, community clinic and county government officials. The group held its first meeting at the John Muir Medical Center's Concord campus Friday.
The council, a nonprofit hospital and health system trade association that represents 185 hospitals in California, will fund a technical advisory group of experts in health care finance, medical law and medical reimbursement to develop strategies to meet the community's health care needs. A representative of the California Health and Human Services Agency is also expected to participate.
"I believe it is important to note that (Doctors) hospital will run out of cash and close in July before a final solution can be implemented," Contra Costa Supervisor John Gioia, who spoke at Friday's meeting, said in an email. "Therefore, I made a specific appeal to the group, at the meeting today, that other hospital systems partner with the County in providing funding to keep Doctors Hospital open beyond July while a solution is developed and implemented in order to have a smooth transition."
On Monday, the county Emergency Medical Services Division will hold a public hearing from 6 to 8 p.m. on the impacts of the potential downgrade or closure of emergency services at Doctors. The hearing will be at Maple Hall, 13831 San Pablo Ave., San Pablo.
In a news release Friday, Walker noted that other regional medical organizations have made "significant investments" in Doctors to help the facility avert its financial crisis.
"It's clear we need to find a more sustainable health care delivery system, one that provides superior care and is financially viable in the long run," Walker said in a statement."
In the event that Doctors closes, other hospitals and medical facilities will step in to find and provide care for the medical center's patients, Art Sponseller, CEO of the hospital council, said in the news release.
"Residents will continue to receive inpatient and emergency room services from nearby hospitals, as they always have," Sponseller said.
Said Walker: "We believe a sustainable, long-term solution is attainable, but it will require the willingness of all parties to consider creative alternatives that are affordable in this period of great transition in the health care industry."
The task force's nine members include county Health Services Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Pat Godley, county Emergency Medical Services Director Pat Frost, Doctors interim CEO Dawn Gideon and officials of John Muir Health, Sutter Health East Bay Region, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and LifeLong Medical Care.

Release Date: 2012 |
Not the best reviewer around, but I wanted to review this album. Comments on how to improve my reviewing would be much appreciated.
Good review, maybe make it a little shorter or something but I pos'd
Digging: Information Flash - Ego Murda Sound
Yeah, I thought it was very huge. Trimmed out an entire paragraph and a huge sentence from the large paragraph. It's still huge, but looks much better now.
And thanks .
used to dig the debut album back in the day, but i probably wont check this out.
good review anyway
No problem man. And just another note, some people (including myself) like a bit of band history in a review, but others don't, so just bear that in mind for future reviews
Nice review man, pos
Thanks, guys .
@ Visions: Yeah, I know. But in case of this album, I thought it was necessary because there was Vicious Thinking popping out of nowhere last year or so, and this is their first actual studio effort in the last 6 years. I'll keep it in mind, thanks :D.
What a shame. Their first album was entertaining.
Album Rating: 3.0You're too harsh. I thought the riffs on this album were really cool. It was quite catchy in places too.
Digging: Rina Sawayama - RINA
Well, kinda, maybe. Because it's a major letdown from their debut. But it's the fact that we've heard most of the riffs before really gets on my nerves. Many even come directly off from their debut album, like how similar "Fiend" sounds to "Brother".
Album Rating: 3.0You're right and I'm digging Fiend. I found this album decent, definitely an improvement over their last LP. The songwriting could have been stronger though. It's def way ahead of the new Shinedown album when it comes to radio rock.
Decent review man, your wording is a bit odd in places but the content is solid so I'll pos. I was just thinking the other day whether I should get this or not, even after listening to a few preview songs, but because those were absolutely forgettable and since you make it clear the album as a full is incredibly formulaic, I'll pass.
Album Rating: 3.0It's formulaic, but it's a fun listen too imo.
In terms of originality and structure, this is incredibly lacking indeed, yet I don't find it that bad overall either.
I remember being really into the first album when I was kid because they so fierily promoted this. "Brother" was my fucking jam.
Thanks, guys.
"...your wording is a bit odd in places but the content is solid so I'll pos."
I blame the Literature club. I'm toooo used to writing too much narrative and checking narrative essays.
""Brother" was my fucking jam."
Yeah, "Brother" was awesome. I could play that song in the drums and do the vocals at the same time a few years back. Damn, education took away all my music time =3=
Album Rating: 2.5I would have enjoyed this album more if they hadn't remastered the tracks from the bsides/hail mary albums that they released on itunes. I wished they could have added Good Bye that was an awesome track.
Album Rating: 3.5This is ok. Not as good as I remember thinking it was back in February, though.

Former Germany captain Michael Ballack scored a hat trick in his farewell game in Leipzig on Wednesday, as he officially brought the curtain down on a glittering career that lasted
for nearly two decades. The 36-year-old invited his friends to join him against a World XI coached by Ballack's former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho.
Rudi Voller took charge of the Friends of Ballack XI, which included Didier Drogba, Roman Weidenfeller, Philipp Lahm, Ulf Kristen, Andriy Shevchenko, Michael Essien, Miroslav Klose, Lothar Matthaus and Formula One legend Michael Schumacher, in front of 44,000 at Leipzig's Zentralstadion. Team Ballack won the encounter 4-3.
Ballack chose Leipzig because he began his career in 1995 in the former East German town of Chemnitz, which is just 50 miles from Leipzig. "I intended not to cry," Ballack said when he was substituted 83 minutes into the game. The former Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea midfielder fought back the tears with Frank Sinatra's My Way playing in the background.

I've taught students from more than 100 countries, including many from Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan) who were eager to share their languages and cuisines with me. However, there are very few cookbooks that focus on this region, even less so from a vegetarian context, so this is one cuisine that remained relatively unknown to me."

Pakistan newspaper office attacked
The offices of a Pakistani newspaper have been attacked after it published a letter alleged to be derogatory towards Islam.
Hundreds of Islamic protesters ransacked the offices of the English-language Frontier Post newspaper in Peshawar, in the North West Frontier Province.
Seven staff members, including two editors, were charged with blasphemy - an offence punishable by death in Pakistan.
Student activists belonging to the hardline Islamic Jamaat-e-Islami party stormed the newspaper building after gathering at a nearby mosque.
Newsprint rolls and machinery inside the premises were set on fire while riot police watched.
"The press has been totally gutted," the AFP news agency quoted an eyewitness as saying.
Students at the nearby Peshawar University also held demonstrations against the newspaper and demanded its editors to be executed.
Roads were blocked and traffic diverted as the protesters marched through the city, which is close to the Afghan border.
On Tuesday the Frontier Post carried large advertisements in national dailies apologising for publishing the controversial letter.
"We once again beg pardon from the Muslim Ummah (nation) from the depths of our heart," the advertisements said.
The letter, apparently sent by e-mail from an unknown place, was headed Why Muslims Hate Jews.
Peshawar's district magistrate issued a statement saying the letter was highly objectionable and hurt the feelings of Muslims.
The Frontier Post's managing editor, Mahmood Afridi, said the publication of the letter was a mistake which he regretted.
The country's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, also condemned the letter.
"The government will not allow publication of such objectionable material," the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan quoted him as saying.
Pakistan has extremely stringent blasphemy laws which mean if someone is accused of blaspheming, the police are obliged to register a case and make an arrest.
General Musharraf had said he would change the laws which human rights workers said were used against religious minorities.
However, he later decided against this, apparently under pressure from Islamic groups.

There comes a time in every Packer blogger's life, when they must take their young and set them free into the scary wilderness known as the blogosphere. That said, today is a sad day, but it appears my baby Jersey Al is all grown up.
I am sure you have already seen the news over at CHTV this morning. If you haven't, congratulations are in order for young blogger Jersey Al as he makes his way to his own page. It is a bitter sweet day for any mentor, but sometimes you just have to throw your chick off a cliff and see if he can fly or not. Once in awhile you get lucky and a guy just soars.
I remember when Jersey Al first got to my doorstep. He was just a humble guy from out east. He was so quiet I could barely hear him speak when he whispered to me, "Do you think I can write about the Packers?"
I remembering chuckling to myself a little bit and telling him that it would be a long hard road, but if he was really and truly a die-hard Packers fan, that some day with a lot of hard work and dedication he too could make his mark in the Packer's blogosphere.
And so, he did. With riveting articles about the next great running back in Green Bay, and praise to our leader, Jersey Al slowly has carved his name into the anals of Packer's history. Once only known as Jersey Al, now the name Bracco is commonplace at every corner.
So, it is with much regret that I must now direct you to Jersey Al's own baby, Jersey Al's Packers Blog where I expect everyone to visit and comment today on Al's latest article (especially Jeremiah's Johnson). Although it doesn't appear here, thus further sending our credibility deeper down the toilette, we extend our sincere wishes to Al and send him out into the unknown with hug to the man only a mother can love.
I'll miss ya, Al...

Can anyone recommend an app for someone with a poor memory and taste for beer (there may be a relation there). Every now and again I come across stuff that is brilliant and stuff that is poor and it seems like an ideal function for an app. Of course I could just take a pic and tag it but where is the fun in that. Anyone come across anything like that? I'm guessing that there are wine apps that would probably do the job
Chat Forum
Recommend to me... a beer app
I take a pic of every new beer I try.
odd.....I think so....
rate my beer app
I thought about that but I thought there had to be something a little more structured. It seems like more and more new stuff is coming out and I didn't want to waste all that testing...
Dunno Rikster but if you can find it try Windswept Torpedo, it's ace.
There's an android app called pintley that might be what you want.
also played with rate my beer and another one
tried 4 new beers yesterday.......got to say, the explosion in the small brewery business is awesome.
it is a good time to be a ale man.....
Pintely looks great but I'm a windows man so untappd wins. Ratemybeer looks good as well.
tx all. Now suggestions for a wine app...

I for my summoner spells ran clarity and ignite, you may find your self replacing ignite which I might as well, to flash or ghost for extra mobility when running from other champs. I ran clarity mainly to be more adc friendly if they poke a lot and she seemed very mana hungry.
I ran ignite for a more deadlier feel, like if the adc or support was getting away.

Great sunset. I wonder if straightening this photo would help too - as the horizon is such a key feature.
ydarias (679) 2005-07-27 7:05
Hello Kristine. Welcome to Trekearth. I like very much your first photo. It's simple but effective. Congratulations.
P.D: Take notes of Beto's clues.
DarkoG (8) 2005-09-01 19:33
As betoqrein write "Good picture to begin". But you really have to watch the horizon on picture like this. Not only the angle of horizon but also a position in the picture. Here horizon divide picture in two almost equal part. Streighten horizon and crop about halph of the sky, and I believe you'll get much better picture. And use smaller f apperture (8 or 16) to get more depth sharpness (sharpnes spread for about 1/3 in front of focus point and 2/3 behind it).
Greetings Darko

I am on research leave this term, aiming to produce the full first draft of a book I have been working on for a while. I got the idea for the book a long time ago, back in 2005 while finishing my PhD, which means I have been living with and developing on the idea for a decade. Although I have been engaged in several other projects during these last ten years, this particular book in progress has continued to be a favourite child of mine. In fact, this blog is the result of my ongoing work on the book project, as are several other papers and articles I have written since 2008.
The preliminary title of the book is, as it has been for quite some time now, The Transmission and Transformation of 2 Baruch: [Catchy, Yet Informative, Subtitle]. As the working title suggests, this is a book on the history of transmission, circulation, use, transformation, mushrooming, etc., of the so-called 2 (Syriac Apocalypse of) Baruch. I am structuring the book to make it readable on three levels. Reading it as an exploration of the history of transmission of the writing 2 Baruch is obviously one of them. It may also be read more broadly as an input to the ongoing research on the history of the transmission and transformation of the so-called Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. Third, and importantly, I use the transmission history of 2 Baruch as a laboratory for exploring and discussing theoretical and methodological issues which are important to all those who somehow use medieval and late antique manuscripts as sources to texts that are generally assumed to be ancient. In other words, the book reads well as a discussion of dilemmas produced by a historical critical paradigm and by text critical methods, from the point of view of a perspective inspired by New Philology.
At the time being, the TOC looks like this,
Introduction. Quite traditional, but with a strong focus on method and theory.
Chapter 1. Imagining and Re-Imagining 2 Baruch. I discuss the challenges of having just one, dominant, text witness. I show how this singular text witness, and the subsequent representations of it in text editions, have shaped the scholarly imagination of the assumed early writing 2 Baruch. From the theoretical point of view that texts change, also after scholars tend to assume that they are "finished" and, based on the manuscripts sources available, I explore how 2 Baruch may have developed after it assumedly started circulating in the 2nd century up until it was copied in the manuscript that serves as the text witness 500 years later. I end the chapter with a discussion of how we might re-imagine 2 Baruch based on the material that has come down to us.
Chapter 2. Engaging with 2 Baruch. I study 2 Baruch in the context of the main manuscript in which it is in fact found, the 6th to 7th century Syriac Codex Ambrosianus. My interest in this chapter is to study 2 Baruch as a meaningful component of this particular codex, exploring, e.g., the order of books, paratextual information and layout, and narrative lines across book units. I trace signs of use of the codex and how theses signs matter to our understanding of 2 Baruch and, I explore how the inclusion of a copy of 2 Baruch in this venerable textual artefact may have affected the further history of circulation of the writing.
Chapter 3. Reading 2 Bar 72:1-73:2 on Easter Sunday. I explore the 13th century liturgical use in monastic circles of a lection excerpted from 2 Baruch. Starting with the lectionary manuscript that contains the lection (BL Add 14687) and the information found there, I provide a "thick description" of a very different historical context of reading than the one scholars normally allow for a passage of 2 Baruch (i.e., a 1st to 2nd century Jewish context). How does the excerpted text become meaningful in this, other, context?
Chapter 4. The Epistle of Baruch – What Is a Text Witness? I trace the history of editing the Epistle of Baruch as a unit integral to 2 Baruch and, I rub this editorial history against the information provided by the extant Syriac manuscripts containing it. With one exception, these manuscripts suggest that the Epistle is something else, i.e., another "work." I discuss critically the paradigmatic procedures that have decided the dominant scholarly representation, which subsequently has paved the way for, for instance, the use of this Epistle as a context for understanding 1st-2nd century letter writing.
Chapter 5. The Transmission and Transformation of 2 Baruch – Categorisations, Status, and Complexities. In this chapter I explore some of the scholarly categorisations and discourses that have effectively decided our modern day representation and understanding of 2 Baruch: the categorisation of 2 Baruch as a "pseudepigraphon"; the analytical potential of understanding a writing as "scriptural-to some"; our understanding of excerption and independently circulating textual entities; the confusion of books and textual units ascribed to Baruch; the importance of the co-circulation of 2 Baruch and 4 Ezra, as well as the observable effects of ascribing books to authoritative figures. In the last part of the chapter, I offer an outlook on the transmission histories of other, comparable, Old Testament Pseudepigrapha.
Conclusion. Well, I conclude, but I don't want to share the conclusion with you yet!
The book will be out as soon as it is finished, I have a publisher.
Right now I enjoy being completely immersed in the writing process!

Get Files from the Server to Your Workspace (Team Explorer Everywhere)
As a general rule, you should get the latest versions of files from the server on a regular basis. Using the latest versions makes sure that the code you develop is compatible with the code developed by others on your team. It also minimizes the risk of creating bugs when you check in your code. You can download the latest version or a previous version of one or more files from your Team Foundation Server to your workspace on your dev machine.
Required permissions
You must be one of the Contributors for your team project. See TFS default groups, permissions, and roles [redirected].
What do you want to do?
You should get the latest versions of files from your server after you set up your dev machine. Then you can begin developing your app.
Later, as you develop functionality in the workspace on your dev machine, your code is isolated from the changes that are made by other developers. But when you are ready (for example, you have completed and checked in the code that completes a task), you should get the latest version of your team's files.
To get the latest version of some files
In Package Explorer or Project Explorer, select one or more resources, open their shortcut menu, and choose Team, Get Latest Version. Or,
In Source Control Explorer, browse to the files or the folders that contain the files that you want to get, select them, open their shortcut menu, and choose Get Latest Version.
In special cases (for example, to fix a regression bug), you might need to get and work with a specific version of one or more files.
Keep in mind that if you get an older version of a file, make changes to it, and then try to check it in, there is an increased chance that you will need to resolve conflicts before you can complete the check-in.
To get a specific version of some files from the History window
In Package Explorer or Source Control Explorer, browse to the folder or file, open its shortcut menu, and choose View History.
In the History window, open the shortcut menu of a version and choose Get This Version.
To get a specific version of some files from Source Control Explorer
In Source Control Explorer, browse to the files or the folders that contain the files you want to get, select them, open their shortcut menu, and choose Get Specific Version.
The Get dialog box appears.
Choose an option from the Type drop-down list:
Changeset Get a version by specifying a changeset.
Date Get a version by specifying a date. If selected, select a date in the Date list.
Label Get a version by specifying a label.
Latest Version Select this option to get the latest version on the server.
Workspace Version Get a version by specifying a workspace
(Optional) Select the Overwrite writable files that are not checked out option.
If selected, files from the server will overwrite all files that do not have the read-only attribute associated with them and are not checked out. Only files on the server, which are different, will overwrite the files in the local workspace. By default, this option is not selected.
This option is equivalent to running the following command: tf get-overwrite.
(Optional) Select the Overwrite all files even if the local version matches the specified version option.
If selected, files from the server overwrite all files.
This option is equivalent to running the following command: tf get-force.
Choose Get.
Source Control Explorer appears. If you chose Latest Version in step 5, the system updates the Latest column with the status of Yes.
The system does not get files that you have checked out.
When you get files and folders from the server, the system also deletes any checked-in files from your local workspace that have been deleted from the server. Files that have been renamed or moved on the server are changed in your workspace to match the changes on the server.
In Source Control Explorer, you can verify whether you have the latest version of a file in the Latest column. You can see specific version information about an item by opening its shortcut menu and choosing Properties.
If you are using a server workspace, and you have accidentally deleted some files that you want to restore, you must use the tf get-all command to restore the deleted files.

Samantha Among The Bretheren

Chapter 9
But truly the labors that descended onto my shoulders immegiately after Lodema's departure wuz hard enough to fill up my hull mind, and tax every one of my energies.
Yes, my labors and the labors of the other female Jonesvillians wuz deep and arjuous in the extreme (of which more and anon bimeby).
I had been the female appinted in a private and becomin' female way, to go to Loontown to see the meetin' house there that we heard they had fixed over in a cheap but commojous way. And for reasons (of which more and anon) we wanted to inquire into the expense, the looks on't, etc., etc.
So I persuaded Josiah Allen to take me over to Loontown on this pressin' business, and he gin his consent to go on the condition that we should stop for a visit to Cephas Bodley'ses. Josiah sets store by 'em. You see they are relations of ourn and have been for some time, entirely unbeknown to us, and they'd come more'n a year ago a huntin' of us up. They said they "thought relations ought to be hunted up and hanged together." They said "the idea of huntin' us up had come to 'em after readin' my books." They told me so, and I said, "Wall!" I didn't add nor diminish to that one "wall," for I didn't want to act too backward, nor too forward. I jest kep' kinder neutral, and said, "Wall!"
You see Cephas'ses father's sister-in-law wuz stepmother to my aunt's second cousin on my father's side. And Cephas said that "he had felt more and more, as years went by, that it wuz a burnin' shame for relations to not know and love each other." He said "he felt that he loved Josiah and me dearly."
I didn't say right out whether it wuz reciprokated or not I kinder said, "Wall!" agin.
And I told Josiah, in perfect confidence and the wood-house chamber, "that I had seen nearer relations than Mr. Bodley'ses folks wuz to us,"
[Illustration: "CEPHAS SAID IT WUZ A BURNIN' SHAME FOR RELATIONS TO NOT KNOW AND LOVE EACH OTHER."]
Howsumever, I done well by 'em. Josiah killed a fat turkey, and I baked it, and done other things for their comfort, and we had quite a good time. Cephas wuz ruther flowery and enthusiastick, and his mouth and voice wuz ruther large, but he meant well, I should judge, and we had quite a good time.
She wuz very freckled, and a second-day Baptist by perswasion, and wuz piecin' up a crazy bedquilt. She went a-visitin' a good deal, and got pieces of the women's dresses where she visited for blocks. So it wuz quite a savin' bedquilt, and very good-lookin', considerin'.
But to resoom and continue on. Cephas'ses folks made us promise on our two sacred honors, Josiah's honor and mine, that we would pay back the visit, for, as Cephas said, "for relatives to live so clost to each other, and not to visit back and forth, wuz a burnin' shame and a disgrace." And Josiah promised that we would go right away after sugerin'.
We wouldn't promise on the New Testament, as Cephas wanted us to (he is dretful enthusiastick); but we gin good plain promises that we would go, and laid out to keep our two words.
Wall, we got there onexpected, as they had come onto us. And we found 'em plunged into trouble. Their only child, a girl, who had married a young lawyer of Loontown, had jest lost her husband with the typus, and they wuz a-makin' preparations for the funeral when we got there. She and her husband had come on a visit, and he wuz took down bed-sick there and died.
I told 'em I felt like death to think I had descended down onto 'em at such a time.
But Cephas said he wuz jest dispatchin' a messenger for us when we arrove, for, he said, "in a time of trouble, then wuz the time, if ever, that a man wanted his near relations clost to him."
And he said "we had took a load offen him by appearin' jest as we did, for there would have been some delay in gettin' us there, if the messenger had been dispatched."
He said "that mornin' he had felt so bad that he wanted to die - it seemed as if there wuzn't nothin' left for him to live for; but now he felt that he had sunthin' to live for, now his relatives wuz gathered round him."
Josiah shed tears to hear Cephas go on. I myself didn't weep none, but I wuz glad if we could be any comfort to 'em, and told 'em so.
And I told Sally Ann, that wuz Cephas'ses wife, that I would do anything I could to help 'em. And she said everything wuz a-bein' done that wuz necessary. She didn't know of but one thing that wuz likely to be overlooked and neglected, and that wuz the crazy bedquilt. She said "she would love to have that finished to throw over a lounge in the settin'-room, that wuz frayed out on the edges, and if I felt like it, it would be a great relief to her to have me take it right offen her hands and finish it."
So I took out my thimble and needle (I always carry such necessaries with me, in a huzzy made expressly for that purpose), and I sot down and went to piecin' up. There wuz seventeen blocks to piece up, each one crazy as a loon to look at, and it wuz all to set together.
She had the pieces, for she had been off on a visitin' tower the week before, and collected of 'em.
So I sot in quiet and the big chair in the settin'-room, and pieced up, and see the preparations goin' on round us.
I found that Cephas'ses folks lived in a house big and showy-lookin', but not so solid and firm as I had seen.
It wuz one of the houses, outside and inside, where more pains had been took with the porticos and ornaments than with the underpinnin'.
It had a showy and kind of a shaky look. And I found that that extended to Cephas'ses business arrangements. Amongst the other ornaments of his buildin's wuz mortgages, quite a lot of'em, and of almost every variety. He had gin his only child, S. Annie (she wuz named after her mother, Sally Ann, but spelt it this way), he had gin S. Annie a showy education, a showy weddin', and a showy settin'-out. But she had had the good luck to marry a sensible man, though poor.
[Illustration: "So I SOT IN QUIET AND THE BIG CHAIR."]
He took S. Annie and the brackets, the piano and hangin' lamps and baskets and crystal bead lambrequins, her father had gin her, moved 'em all into a good, sensible, small house, and went to work to get a practice and a livin'. He was a lawyer by perswasion.
Wall, he worked hard, day and night, for three little children come to 'em pretty fast, and S. Annie consumed a good deal in trimmin's and cheap lace to ornament 'em; she wuz her father's own girl for ornament. But he worked so hard, and had so many irons in the fire, and kep' 'em all so hot, that he got a good livin' for 'em, and begun to lay up money towards buyin' 'em a house - a home.
He talked a sight, so folks said that knew him well, about his consumin' desire and aim to get his wife and children into a little home of their own, into a safe little haven, where they could live if he wuz called away. They say that that wuz on his mind day and night, and wuz what nerved his hand so in the fray, and made him so successful. Wall, he had laid up about nine hundred dollars towards a home, every dollar on it earned by hard work and consecrated by this deathless hope and affection. The house he had got his mind on only cost about a thousand dollars. Loontown property is cheap.
Wall, he had laid up nine hundred, and wuz a-beginnin' to save on the last hundred, for he wouldn't run in debt a cent any way, when he wuz took voyalent sick there to Cephas'ses; he and S. Annie had come home for a visit of a day or two, and he bein' so run down, and weak with his hard day work and his night work, that he suckumbed to his sickness, and passed away the day before I got there.
Wall, S. Annie wuz jest overcome with grief the day I got there, but the day follerin' she begun to take some interest and help her father in makin' preparations for the funeral.
The body wuz embalmed, accordin' to Cephas'ses and S. Annie's wish, and the funeral wuz to be on the Sunday follerin', and on that Cephas and S. Annie now bent their energies.
To begin with, S. Annie had a hull suit of clear crape made for herself, with a veil that touched the ground; she also had three other suits commenced, for more common wear, trimmed heavy with crape, one of which she ordered for sure the next week, for she said, "she couldn't stir out of the house in any other color but black."
I knew jest how dear crape wuz, and I tackled her on the subject, and sez I -
"Do you know, S. Annie, these dresses of your'n will cost a sight?"
"Cost?" sez she, a-bustin' out a-cryin'. "What do I care about cost? I will do everything I can to respect his memory. I do it in remembrance of him."
Sez I, gently, "S. Annie, you wouldn't forget him if you wuz dressed in white. And as for respect, such a life as his, from all I hear of it, don't need crape to throw respect on it; it commands respect, and gets it from everybody."
"But," sez Cephas, "it would look dretful odd to the neighbors if she didn't dress in black." Sez he in a skairful tone, and in his intense way -
[Illustration: "WHAT IS LIFE WORTH WHEN FOLKS TALK?"]
"I would ruther resk my life than to have her fail in duty in this way; it would make talk. And." sez he, "what is life worth when folks talk?" I turned around the crazed block and tackled it in a new place (more luny than ever it seemed to me), and sez I, mekanickly -
"It is pretty hard work to keep folks from talkin'; to keep 'em from sayin' somethin'."
But I see from their looks it wouldn't do to say anything more, so I had to set still and see it go on.
At that time of year flowers wuz dretful high, but S. Annie and Cephas had made up their minds that they must have several flower-pieces from the city nighest to Loontown.
One wuz a-goin' to be a gate ajar, and one wuz to be a gate wide open, and one wuz to be a big book. Cephas asked what book I thought would be preferable to represent. And I mentioned the Bible.
But Cephas sez, "No, he didn't think he would have a Bible; he didn't think it would be appropriate, seein' the deceased wuz a lawyer." He said "he hadn't quite made up his mind what book to have. But anyway it wuz to be in flowers - beautiful flowers." Another piece wuz to be his name in white flowers on a purple background of pansies. His name wuz Wellington Napoleon Bonaparte Hardiman. And I sez to Cephas - "To save expense, you will probable have the moneygram W.N.B.H.?"
"Oh, no," sez he.
Sez I, "hen the initials of his given names, and the last name in full."
"Oh, no," he said; "it wuz S. Annie's wish, and hisen, that the hull name should be put on. They thought it would show more respect."
I sez, "Where Wellington is now, that hain't a goin' to make any difference, and," sez I, "Cephas, flowers are dretful high this time of year, and it is a long name."
But Cephas said agin that he didn't care for expense, so long as respect wuz done to the memory of the deceased. He said that he and S. Annie both felt that it wuz their wish to have the funeral go ahead of any other that had ever took place in Loontown or Jonesville. He said that S. Annie felt that it wuz all that wuz left her now in life, the memory of such a funeral as he deserved.
Sez I, "There is his children left for her to live for," sez I - "three little bits of his own life, for her to nourish, and cherish, and look out for."
"Yes," sez Cephas, "and she will do that nobly, and I will help her. They are all goin' to the funeral, too, in deep-black dresses." He said "they wuz too little to realize it now, but in later and maturer years it would be a comfort to 'em to know they had took part in such a funeral as that wuz goin' to be, and wuz dressed in black."
"Wall," sez I (in a quiet, onassumin' way I would gin little hints of my mind on the subject), "I am afraid that will be about all the comforts of life the poor little children will ever have," sez I. "It will be if you buy many more flower-pieces and crape dresses."
Cephas said "it wouldn't take much crape for the children's dresses, they wuz so little, only the baby's; that would have to be long."
Sez I, "The baby would look better in white, and it will take sights of crape for a long baby dress."
"Yes, but S. Annie can use it afterwards for veils. She is very economical; she takes it from me. And she feels jest as I do, that the baby must wear it in respect to her father's memory."
Sez I, "The baby don't know crape from a clothes-pin."
"No," sez Cephas, "but in after years the thought of the respect she showed will sustain her."
"Wall," sez I, "I guess she won't have much besides thoughts to live on, if things go on in this way."
I would give little hints in this way, but they wuzn't took. Things went right on as if I hadn't spoke. And I couldn't contend, for truly, as a bad little boy said once on a similar occasion, "it wuzn't my funeral," so I had to set and work on that insane bedquilt and see it go on. But I sithed constant and frequent, and when I wuz all alone in the room I indulged in a few low groans.

Pillowtex avoids default of debt with amendment
September 30, 2002,
Kannapolis, NC — Getting some much-needed relief from its lenders, Pillowtex Corp., fresh out of bankruptcy, said lenders have cut it some slack by amending debt covenant requirements for the current third quarter, keeping the major mill out of a possible default on its debt.
Michael Harmon, Pillowtex cfo, said the company was caught between a rock and a hard place — falling sales of its products and debt requirements based on overly optimistic sales forecasts — and asked its lenders for more breathing room, and got it.
Pillowtex is now regrouping and preparing an updated sales forecast, Harmon said, "and once the revised projections are completed, the company and the term-loan lenders will review the financial covenants in the term-loan agreement as they apply to future periods."
The major mill also said it expects "to be in compliance with all of the covenants in its revolving credit agreement at the end of the third quarter" and that availability under the revolver was about $76 million as of Sept. 23.
Wall Street applauded the move and gave a boost to Pillowtex stock, moving it up by 11.4 percent a share, or $0.20, to a level of $1.95. Even with the move higher, Pillowtex stock is now down about 78.7 percent from a high of $9.15 recorded after the company exited Chapter 11.
Deeply in debt following a long string of costly acquisitions, including the buyout of Fieldcrest Cannon, a company twice its size, and hammered by falling sales, Pillowtex ousted its former ceo Chuck Hansen and was forced into bankruptcy last year. As part of a sweeping overhaul of operations, the company has sold or shuttered 13 manufacturing plants, reduced its asset base by half and cut its work force by about 35 percent. Coming out of Chapter 11 in a debt-for-equity swap that surrendered ownership of the company to its lenders, Pillowtex whittled down a crushing debt load of about $1.1 billion to roughly $205 million.
In subsequent moves to rebuild the company and fortify its arsenal of powerhouse brands, Pillowtex hired brand-builder David Perdue away from footwear producer Reebok as ceo and more recently hired a Sara Lee exec, Michael Gannaway, as new president and coo, replacing Tony Williams, who has resigned.

British comedian Lee Evans and stage star Sheila Hancock will lead the West End world premiere of Barking in Essex, a new black comedy by Clive Exton, according to U.K.'s Daily Mail. Directed by Harry Burton, the production will begin performances at the Wyndham's Theatre on September 6, 2013. An official opening night is set for September 16.
Barking in Essex tells the story of Algie Parker, the most notorious gangster in Essex. As he comes home to collect his money—over 3 million pounds in untraceable notes—there's something his family has forgotten to mention. In order to keep Algie from finding out the secret, his family must figure out a way to hide it before his arrival. Evans will star as Algie's brother Darnley, while Hancock will play their mother, Emmie Packer.
Evans starred in The Producers in the West End. His film and TV credits include The World of Lee Evans, There's Something About Mary, So What Now?, Brooms, Funny Bones, The Fifth Element and MouseHunt. Evans is also a well known stand-up comedian—he played to a crowd of 10,108 at London's Manchester Arena in 2005, breaking the world record for a comedy solo act with the largest audience.
Hancock's London stage credits include Breath of Spring, Sister Act and The Last of the Duchess. Her film and TV credits include The Rag Trade, Now Take My Wife, The Bed-Sit Girl, The Girl on the Boat, Carry On Cleo, The Anniversary and Three Men and a Little Lady.

Reichert, Pascrell Protect Funding for COPS
Washington, D.C. – Last night, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed an amendment introduced by U.S. Congressmen Dave Reichert (R-WA) and Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ), co-chairs of the Congressional Law Enforcement Caucus, along with Reps. King, DeFazio, Grimm, Welch, Reed, Enyart and Johnson. The amendment, which would protect funding for the highly successful Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Hiring Program and allow the hiring of almost 1000 additional police officers, was included in the Fiscal Year 2015 Appropriations Bill for Commerce Justice and Science (CJS).
"Our local law enforcement is this nation's first line of defense," said Reichert. "When our country is threatened, they are first on the scene and the first to offer protection. We cannot leave them ill prepared or ill equipped, and the COPS program makes sure that they have the funding and personnel to adequately address all safety concerns. Ensuring adequate funding for them is but a simple way to say thank you to the men and women who serve to protect us every day and to support them in their efforts."
"As local police departments face increasing budget constraints, we need to ensure the safety of our communities does not suffer and our first responders have every resource available to them," said Pascrell. "Despite its importance to our communities, the COPS program has been a frequent target for cuts. This is why I'll continue to fight to ensure this program is well-funded so it can remain a cornerstone of the federal government's efforts to assist state and local law enforcement."
The COPS Office and its corresponding programs provide invaluable resources and technical assistance to state and local law enforcement agencies in an effort to keep our communities safe. Since its inception, the COPS office has placed over 127,000 sworn law enforcement officers in communities across the country by providing grants for the hiring of officers. These grants are critical for communities with public safety needs that may lack the resources to hire the officers they need to protect their citizens.
This amendment would restore $110 million to the COPS funding in order to maintain current year's level of funding and avoid a proposed 60% cut.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I have had the Toshiba Satellite L30-113 laptop for 2 years now and it has worked well. I bought it because it was a good offer at PC world for a laptop of that spec. It is not flashy but looks smart in black. The screen is good and clear and bright.
The Toshiba onscreen startup processes are a bit longwinded and there is more waiting around for things to load than I would like.
It has Vista preinstalled which takes up quite a lot of the HDD space and contributes to the waiting around. I would have preferred XP. My son tried Back-Track which is a stripped down Linux based OS which he ran on a USB pen. This made the machine much quicker, but there seemed to be a conflict with Microsoft's Vista, so he gave up using it.

Set in Manchester County, Virginia, 20 years before the Civil War began, Edward P. Jones's debut novel, The Known World, is a masterpiece of overlapping plot lines, time shifts, and heartbreaking details of life under slavery. Caldonia Townsend is an educated black slaveowner, the widow of a well-loved young farmer named Henry, whose parents had bought their own freedom, and then freed their son, only to watch him buy himself a slave as soon as he had saved enough money. Although a fair and gentle master by the standards of the day, Henry Townsend had learned from former master about the proper distance to keep from one's property. After his death, his slaves wonder if Caldonia will free them. When she fails to do so, but instead breaches the code that keeps them separate from her, a little piece of Manchester County begins to unravel. Impossible to rush through, The Known World is a complex, beautifully written novel with a large cast of characters, rewarding the patient reader with unexpected connections, some reaching into the present day. --Regina MarlerAbout the Author:

Remorseful Liverpool star Luis Suarez wants to play with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid
LIVERPOOL striker Luis Suarez has admitted his biting controversy was no one's fault but his own - but only after claiming he wants to link up with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
Suarez appears to be pushing for a move away from Liverpool this summer, stating the way he is treated by the English media as the reason for his desire to leave.
And the Uruguayan has again ramped up talk that he could be playing for Real Madrid next season by talking up a partnership with Portuguese goal-hero Ronaldo.
"Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he's a great player," said Suarez. "You never know, but it's complicated."
Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he's a great player
Suarez went on to discuss the incident with Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic that saw him banned for 10 games for biting the Serbian defender.
"The incident with Ivanovic - I know I made a mistake, it was me, my fault, and he did not do anything to me," he admitted.
"I was angry because I had given away a penalty for handball. I was the cause of the penalty against my team - I saw red and completely lost it. I can't really explain it.
"But still people can be very cruel, and the reaction was amazing."

Marion Co TOC
Graphics by Rhio
Marion County, AR Census Records
The census was taken by W. C. Mitchell Ass't Marshal 1 Jun 1860. Michell's handwriting leaves a lot to be desired. Mysty McPherson was kind enough to give me the correct spelling for some names. Her corrections are in red. Thanks Mysty for your help. If anyone else has any corrections please let me know.
The 1860 Slave census for Marion County consists of four pages set up so that each page contains two identical sets of columns with one on the left and one of the right side of the page. The Slave Census does not identify the slaves by names. The owner is listed and then all the slaves that person owns are given by age, sex and color.
There are only two color designations given. B=Black & M=Mulatto. (Mulatto refers to someone who is part white & part black.)

Despite massive street protests, threats, insults and political infighting, gay marriage is close to becoming a reality in two of Europe's biggest countries.
Parliaments in France and Britain have taken major steps this week toward legalizing same-sex marriages, despite fierce opposition from many groups including the Church of England and the Vatican.
On Tuesday, Members of Parliament in Britain, by a vote of 400 to 175, approved a bill that in principle will legalize gay marriage in England and Wales. That vote came three days after deputies in France passed a measure that allows marriages between any two people, not just a man and a woman.
While both countries have yet to adopt final legislation, they are on the way to joining Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Denmark which have legalized gay marriage. Scotland is introducing a similar law, while many other European countries, including Germany, have given legal recognition to same-sex unions for years.
But the new push this on gay marriage laws is an indication that a growing majority of people across Europe have become comfortable with idea of same-sex couples. In Britain polls show 55 per cent of people support gay marriage, with 36 per cent against it. There are similar majorities in France, as well as in Spain where the country's gay marriage laws were recently upheld by the top court.
Still, that hasn't stopped opponents from being heard and having an impact.
In Britain, the vast majority of Labour and Liberal Democrats voted for the bill Tuesday. But roughly half of the Conservative Party caucus defied their leader, Prime Minister David Cameron, and voted against the bill. Many Tory MPs were furious at the proposed legislation and criticized Mr. Cameron for bringing it forward.
"Where does [Mr. Cameron] have a mandate to inflict this massive social and cultural change?" Conservative MP Sir Gerald Howarth asked during the debate. "There are many major issues this country needs to deal with. This is an irrelevance," he added.
The Church of England also came out against the bill, suggesting that while it doesn't compel religious organizations to marry same-sex couples, the law could be challenged on that ground in the European Court of Human Rights. A court decision then, church leaders argued, could end up forcing churches to conduct such marriages.
Some evangelical churches also banded together in what they call the "Coalition for Marriage," launching a petition opposing the bill that has attracted more than 600,000 signatures. A video on the group's website claimed the bill could lead to further redefinitions of marriage including polygamy.
Maria Miller, the Women and Equalization Minister, rejected those arguments. "This bill, I believe, is about one thing. It's about fairness," she told the House of Commons. "It's about giving those who want to get married the opportunity to do so, whilst protecting the rights of those who don't agree with same sex marriage." She added that it was "inconceivable" the European court would interfere with religious organizations.
The debate in France has been even more heated. Deputies have been debating the proposed law for more than a week, including all last weekend. More than 5,000 amendments have been introduced by opponents in an attempt to derail it. And on the streets protests have attracted hundreds of thousands of people. Activists have joined the Roman Catholic Church in leading the opposition and they are show no signs of letting up, with more public protests to come.
But much of the public appears to have moved on from the issue and many experts doubt gay marriage will be much of an issue in the next national elections in Britain or France.
"For some people this … may push them into not voting for the [Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in Britain]," said Andy Walton, the co-author of a report on the religious opposition for Theos, a London-based think tank that studies religious issues. "What we know is that despite all the heat and light that we see around this issue at the moment, people in the 2016 [British] election are mostly going to vote on the economy."

About This Activity
We're sorry, but this class is over. The last meeting was Saturday, June 24, 2017.
(Ages 10 - 18)
The study of music theory is important to any comprehensive musical education, as theory introduces students to the basic elements and notational conventions of music. In this interactive class, students learn to apply analysis skills to the pieces they are studying in their private lessons. Students are invited to perform sonatas and the class analyzes the pieces together.
During the second half of the year, students concentrate on symphonic repertoire, building skills that help them become more perceptive and engaged listeners, as well as enhance their score reading abilities by following symphonic scores in class. Students participate in both group singing and dictation activities to hone their sight singing and ear training skills. Designed to help students improve music literacy and sight reading skills, this class teaches students the building blocks of musical grammar to provide the foundation for further explorations in harmony, history, counterpoint, and analysis.
Students who complete the course will be prepared to sit for the Music Development Program's Intermediate Rudiments Assessment. The Royal Conservatory's Music Development Program provides a recognized standard of musical success through a sequenced course of study. The program provides individual student assessments and allows students to celebrate accomplishment, as they complete the levels of the sequence. Students who earn certificates will have a measurable standard of success that can be placed on college applications and resumes. More information about the Music Development Program can be found at https://www.musicdevelopmentprogram.org/program/overview.

British-based energy group International Power ended the day yesterday as the FTSE 100's biggest faller after it said its talks with France's state controlled power giant GDF Suez were over and that no agreement had been reached.
Shares in the company closed down 11p, or 3.42%, at 341.97p.
The company had spent most of the day as the FTSE's biggest gainer, soaring as much as 9% to a 15-month high of 351.4p, after it was reported over the weekend that GDF Suez had made a tentative takeover offer for the company.
It was reported that GDF Suez, Europe's fifth-largest electricity generator, had been in talks with International Power since before Christmas. A person familiar with the deal had told Reuters that the French power and gas company was in talks with International Power about a possible asset swap to expand growth markets.
Shares in B Sky B also closed down yesterday after Ofcom, the media watchdog, said it will force Sky to drop the price it charges rival broadcasters for its Sky Sports channels.
BT and Virgin are expecting to capitalise on these plans and are set to kick-start a price war with rivals over TV's top sporting occasions.
Shares in B Sky B were down 6.50p, or 1.13%, at 564.85p. Shares in BT were up 1.9p, or 1.13%, at 566.96p.
David Buik, an analyst at BGC Partners, said: "Looking forward to the outcome of this spat! One gets the impression that BT is 'extracting the Michael' vigorously!"
The FTSE 100 ended the day up 39.02 points, or 0.72%, at 5494.39 as miners bounced back after last week's falls. Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC) ended the day up 38.50p, or 3.88%, at 1020.5p, while Anglo American closed up 86.50p, or 3.18%, at 2806.9p.
Miners were boosted by a rally in metal prices, which recovered as demand worries ebbed away and recent dollar strength faded. The sector shed 3.8% last week after weaker-than-anticipated data from China and the United States.
Among individual gainers, Cadbury rose 14p, or 1.8%, to 807.24 after the confectioner's chief executive, Todd Stitzer said the company could be worth more than £10 a share by 2013, in an interview published in the Daily Telegraph.
Predator Kraft, under British takeover panel rules, has until Tuesday Jan. 19 to increase its £10.5bn hostile offer for Cadbury.
Meanwhile, the FTSE 250 closed up 33.87 points at 9572.07.

Philip is the younger son of King John of France.
He is a brave lad with a taste for battle and a blunt appreciation of realities, considering possession nine-tenths of the law. Confident of French victory, he sends Prince Edward a religious book as a consolation before battle, being certain that Edward will not live out the day. Philip is somewhat disquieted by the evil presages just before battle, but is quickly ready to reassure the common men. He is horrified at being defeated by such a smaller force. He is captured in battle. Historically, he was 14 years old at this time, and won the moniker 'The Brave' for his deeds in the battle of Poitiers.

During his lifetime, David Gilmour Blythe was regarded in Pittsburgh as a talented eccentric, but he was virtually unknown elsewhere. Today he is recognized as nineteenth-century America's leading satirical genre painter.
Pittsburgh in the 1850s was an affront to Blythe's Scottish Presbyterian morality. While most of his contemporaries painted idealized, happy, healthy children, Blythe squarely confronted and castigated the evils that surrounded him, portraying sickly, ill-fed, ill-tempered, and almost imbecilic young delinquents. He was similarly unflinching in his treatment of Pittsburgh's citizenry in Post Office.
Post Office shows part of the exterior of the old Custom House and Post Office building that once stood at Smithfield Street and Fifth Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh. At the center of the composition, men and women fight for a place at the narrow General Delivery window. The press of the crowd destroys the normally dignified appearance of mid-nineteenth-century costume: a woman's pink crinoline assumes a fantastic balloonlike shape, and the man next to her has his hat crushed and the seat of his trousers ripped in an attempt to reach the window. To the left of the melee, a street urchin deftly picks the pocket of a man absorbed in a letter; at the right, a markedly sleazy character holding a carpetbag surreptitiously examines an unsuspecting man's correspondence.
While Post Office has generally been regarded as a simple, amusing genre piece, free of obscure topical allusions
and Blythe's habitual bitterness, the painting makes a serious satirical comment. The Neoclassical bust over the delivery window alludes to the idealism and dignity of the American past, while the indifferent newsboy on the steps symbolizes the squalor of contemporary urban life. In pairing these figures, Blythe contrasts the noble ideals of the nation's founding fathers with the greed, self-interest, and venality he sensed in his own times.
Essentially unknown outside the Pittsburgh area, during his lifetime and for decades after, David Gilmour Blythe is now recognized as the principal satiric genre painter of nineteenth-century America. Born in East Liverpool, Ohio, into the family of an immigrant Scottish Presbyterian, Blythe grew up with a rigid sense of morality that consistently informed his brutal, grotesque caricatures of contemporary life, in which he used the grimy industrial city of Pittsburgh as a showcase for urban horrors. His personality was contradictory. A staunch Protestant, he married a Catholic. Vociferously Republican, he nevertheless counted prominent Democrats among his close friends. And although a number of his pictures graphically depict the evils of alcohol, Blythe himself finally succumbed to "mania potu," or delirium from drink.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. airline delays leaving passengers stranded on runways dropped sharply in August compared to a year ago, the Department of Transportation said.
In August 2009, there were 66 flights with passengers were stranded in planes for more than 3 hours, the DOT said. In August 2010, there was only one such incident, the department said Tuesday.
U.S. airlines made the improvement without any change in the rate of canceled flights, which could have affected the data.
The lone flight delay that left passengers stranded past the DOT maximum was a United Airlines flight leaving San Juan, Puerto Rico, that was a diverted flight.
The new rule mandating passengers be allowed off the plane if delayed for 3 hours or more on a runway went into effect April 29.
"These numbers who that the tarmac delay rule is protecting passengers from being trapped indefinitely aboard an airplane -- with little or no increase in canceled fights," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said.

Chevron Press Release - Thomas R. Moore To Retire After 33 Years Of Distinguished Service
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2001 -- Chevron Corp. today announced that Thomas R. Moore, president of Chevron Shipping Co., has elected to retire on Sept. 1 after a distinguished 33-year career with the company.
Also effective Sept. 1, Michael L. Carthew will succeed Moore as president of Chevron Shipping Co. Carthew is currently vice president and general manager of Marine Transportation at the company.
"Tom has been an effective and innovative leader during his career at Chevron and has advanced Chevron Shipping Co.'s reputation as an industry leader with an outstanding safety and environmental performance record," said Chairman and CEO Dave O'Reilly. "We have been fortunate to have worked with Tom these past 33 years and wish him well in the future," said O'Reilly.
A native of Johnstown, Pa., Carthew, 49, graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, N.Y., with a bachelor's degree in Marine Transportation. He obtained a master's degree in business administration from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. He joined Gulf Oil Co. in 1974 and held assignments in tanker operations and chartering and served as marine operations manager for Gulf's European businesses based in Great Britain. Following the merger of Gulf and Chevron in 1984, Carthew held a variety of commercial and managerial positions in Chevron's international and domestic businesses as well as an assignment in Chevron Corp.'s human resources department. He assumed his current position with Chevron Shipping Co. in 1999.
Moore, 56, a native of New Jersey, graduated from Cornell University with bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering. He began his career with Chevron in 1968 as a design engineer at the company's Richmond, Calif., refinery, and held various positions there.
In 1976, Moore joined Chevron Shipping Co. as a supervisor in the maintenance and repair division. In 1982, he returned to the refining side of the business and in 1984 was appointed manager of the Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, refinery owned by Chevron's then affiliate, Irving Oil Ltd. In 1985, he was named vice president and general manager for Irving Oil Ltd. with increased responsibilities including management of the Canaport Terminal and marine operations. He was elected to his present position with Chevron Shipping in April 1994 after serving for six years as its vice president of operations for the company.
Moore has represented the company with many industry organizations including the American Petroleum Institute where he was the chairman of the marine committee. He currently serves on the boards of the Oil Companies International Marine Forum, the American Bureau of Shipping, the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation, CRISTAL and the UK P&I Club. He has actively promoted initiatives to improve the performance of the oil tanker industry, which now enjoys an excellent record for the safe transportation of petroleum around the world.
"I am proud to have been associated with the industry over these years, and hope that I have helped influence improvements in its quality of performance," said Moore.

Washington -- FROM 1989 onward, after the Iron Curtain and Berlin Wall fell, the prognoses in this capital for that long-closed world east of Austria were overwhelmingly positive. Russia and Eastern Europe would democratize and free-marketize!
That euphoria is why the sudden turn of mood here is so dramatic.
It was a recent Wednesday downtown on K Street at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, brilliant analyst of the East, was reluctantly bringing everybody down from those initial highs.
"There is no longer any central power in the Soviet Union," Brzezinski told the CSIS advisory board, "so there is no Soviet Union. It is a region of despair. For the rest of the century, we are dealing with insoluble problems."
