PLEASANT HILL — Frustrated by repeated delays in getting complete meeting minutes for the past year, four council members have called on embattled City Clerk Kim Lehmkuhl to resign.
This saga has been dragging on since January, when it came to light that Lehmkuhl failed to produce council meeting minutes during her entire first year in office, despite repeated entreaties from city staffers and council members.
The City Council on Monday was scheduled to approve the final 11 sets of outstanding minutes dating back to February 2013, which city staffers hastily produced when it became clear Lehmkuhl wasn't going to meet the March 31 deadline.
Concerned about mistakes in the documents before them, the council gave the staff until May 12 to provide accurate and complete minutes up through Monday's meeting.
The decision was a tacit admission that council members no longer have confidence in Lehmkuhl.
"I view this as just another issue that tells me the city clerk isn't able to do her job," said Councilman Michael Harris, who renewed his call for Lehmkuhl's resignation.
At the March 24 meeting, Lehmkuhl assured the council that she would complete the outstanding minutes by March 31.
During the week before the deadline, Lehmkuhl did not respond to at least one phone call from the staff to discuss the minutes, according to City Manager June Catalano. Since Lehmkuhl had partially drafted just three sets of the remaining 11 meetings, several staffers and a professional minutes taker worked through the weekend of March 29 to complete all 11 meetings, according to Catalano.
"We sent her the draft minutes on the 31st asking her to edit and certify them, and we did not hear back from her until yesterday," Catalano said Tuesday.
On Monday, Lehmkuhl blasted the staff's work, saying the minutes were poorly written and riddled with errors. She certified just one set, from the May 6 meeting.
"I do not turn in incompetent work and I will not sign off on incompetent work," she said.
Councilman David Durant suggested that the council postpone approving the minutes.
"It's clear to me that this was a bit of a rush job," said Durant, who added that he was frustrated that Lehmkuhl hadn't edited the minutes before the council received them. Saying he is "tired of explanations and excuses," Durant called on Lehmkuhl to step down.
Councilman Ken Carlson appeared exasperated by the situation. Resignation would be the easy way out for Lehmkuhl who should be fired instead, he argued. But since that decision is up to the voters, Carlson also urged her to leave office.
"The time is now for you to resign, to pack your bags and go," he said.
Councilman Jack Weir has also called for Lehmkuhl's resignation.
Voters will decide in November whether to change the city clerk position from elected to appointed. The election will cost Pleasant Hill about $19,000. If voters approve making the position appointed, a staff member who answers to the city manager will assume the clerk's duties. The change would go into effect after Lehmkuhl's term expires in 2016.
But Lehmkuhl could be tossed out of office this fall. A group of residents is trying to collect the 3,800 signatures required to place a recall on the November ballot. Residents who want to sign a recall petition can email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.recallphclerk.com for the locations where organizers will be collecting signatures.

text: Elliott Bay Design Group of Seattle recently completed stability tests and calculations for the KLONDIKE SPIRIT, an all-steel side-wheeler recently built on the Yukon River in Alaska. The vessel, which can carry up to 120 passengers, will be used to take tourists on daytrips through the scenic Yukon canyons downriver of Dawson (Yukon, Canada) when it begins operation in June, 2005. Constructed in Eagle City, Alaska, by Nick Turner and Charlie House, the vessel offers three passenger decks, a food service galley and two staterooms for crews. Eagle City is located along the Yukon River approximately 9 miles west of the Canadian border. The KLONDIKE SPIRIT is the first side-wheeler to be built on the Yukon in decades. Historically, side-wheelers were used to navigate rivers because their configuration made them extremely maneuverable. However, the location of the paddles along both sides of the boats made them vulnerable to damage, and their popularity faded. The KLONDIKE SPIRIT brings back a piece of nostalgia that complements Dawson's "Gold Rush" tourist theme. According to Turner; "The recommendations made by Elliott Bay Design Group enabled for U.S. Coast Guard plan approval, while preserving each detail of our design concept." The side-wheeler is 88 ft long with 18 ft beam and a 4 ft hull depth. Maximum draft is 30 inches. The hull was fabricated by Eagle Boat Company and the Northern Lights 20 kW generator was furnished by Alaska Diesel Electric. The main engine is a 400 HP Cat 3406 that drives Denison hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic motors power each side wheel through a separate Brevini gearbox and 3:1 chain reduction drive. Paddle wheel speed is 40 RPM. Elliott Bay Design Group's contributions included structural calculations and scantling determinations for U.S. Coast Guard approval. The firm also performed tonnage analysis, designed the tonnage plan, and performed the admeasurement survey on behalf of Germanischer Lloyd. Currents in the Yukon River and the absence of a dock made performing stability tests a challenge. Typically, such tests are executed in protected water with the vessel tethered to a dock with no outside forces affecting the boat. Because that wasn't an option, Elliott Bay Design Group engineers tied the KLONDIKE SPIRIT to trees on the river's shore, and then floated the boat onto an eddy. Currents flowing down one side of the boat at four knots and up the other side at two knots kept the side-wheeler steady and the mooring lines slack for the duration of the test. EBDG performed the tests and inspection in early October 2004, just before the river froze for the winter.

Truck Of The Year - New Platforms For Cool - Ground Zero
Recently, the staff of Truckin' embarked on our annual Truck of the Year competition to test the latest offerings from both import and domestic manufacturers. These tests allow us to get a hands-on feel for what will be on the showroom floor in the coming year, and they also give us a chance to assess the positives and negatives of each truck. Obtaining this information through driving impressions, results at the drag strip, and a little seat time off-road helps us give readers and consumers the information needed to choose the right truck that fits their needs. The difference this year in our testing was the off-road portion. The trucks were put through their paces for assessment of suspension travel, handling, traction, and suspension articulation. Our two-hour 'wheeling session on the trails of the San Bernardino Mountains was proceeded by extensive dragstrip testing at the L.A. County Raceway in Palmdale, California, where each truck was rolled into the burnout box, the rear hides heated up, and the gas mashed for a trip down the quarter-mile. Our data was recorded via laptop, and after each truck either came out smelling like a rose or fell significantly short in the performance department, we proceeded to the brake testing trials, where each truck was measured for stopping distance from 60-0 mph. Once things were wrapped up at the track, we were off to Big Bear, California, for an overnight stay in a private cabin accompanied by an evening of barbecuing, beverages, and good conversation with my colleagues. It was great to hang out and shoot the breeze with my fellow workers and custom truck enthusiasts outside of the office, since we rarely get the opportunity to do so.
We rose with the sun on Friday morning. Continued was the quest for the all-around best truck in the group. At 10 a.m., we were deep in dust trampling across a rugged trail that stretches from Big Bear on down to Yucca Valley. Tight cliff-side corners were negotiated while the calm waters of a few streams and mud pits were disturbed by our fleet of 4x4s. Only one truck was left behind. The two-wheel-drive Dodge SRT-10 was not fit for the trail, so we planted expert driver and Truckin' Tech Editor Bob Ryder behind the wheel to negotiate the twisty mountain switchbacks and stretch the Dodge's legs a bit while we pounded the other four trucks through the dirt.
Included in our assortment of new haulers was the '05 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4, '05 Nissan Frontier NISMO 4x4, '05 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4, '05 Ford F-250 Super Duty 4x4, and '05 Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab. Each truck had its own unique features that were both appreciated and disliked by each staff member, and spending a fair amount of time in each truck allowed everyone to figure out which truck best fit their lifestyle.
The last area the trucks were judged on was their aftermarket potential. Being in the business we are in and being the gearheads we are, a truck just isn't worth purchasing if we can't tweak the suspension, add wheels and tires, and increase the performance. Considering the '05 models have not hit lots and the aftermarket products have not yet come into the market, we have to assess the trucks carefully to see if their body lines lend themselves well to aftermarket products. We also have to see if suspension systems are designed to accept suspension alterations, such as lift and lowering kits. Larger wheels and tires come into play here, as do fenderwell configuration and space. A few trucks failed in this arena of our test because of limited suspension travel and zero room for larger rubber. As a tip to the consumer: These things definitely need to be looked at when purchasing a new truck if you are considering extensive aftermarket upgrades.
After our testing ended, I drove home with some great memories and a bit of on- and off-road knowledge to pass on to potential new truck buyers. I also had a chance to reflect on what I do and realized that I enjoy this event more every year. It was a nice break from walking the hot blacktop at a truck show, spending several hours photographing every detail of countless rolling masterpieces. While my true passion lies within customized show trucks and the scene that surrounds them, I truly do have a new appreciation for getting behind the wheel and putting a truck through its paces both on and off the asphalt. As of right now, a winner for our Truck of the Year competition has not been established, but stay tuned. The Jan. '05 issue is sure to have a full report on our testing, some great photos, and a winner. Until next month, keep hitting those switches, cranking good tunes (such as The Clash, Triumph, and Ratt), and cruising until your heart's content.

Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics II
Review by Videogamer
Reviewed: 11/01/99 | Updated: 11/01/99
One of the greatest sequels ever made
This game came out in 1994, just before the NES was officially discontinued. Since most people weren't playing the NES anymore, not many people knew about this great game. This is one of the best games for the NES, and is definately a classic.
Story: 9 out of 10
The story is that Mike has returned home and starting to live a normal life again. His uncle, Dr. Jones, has been trying to decode a cither he found on the hub of the alien ship. Mike walks in and his uncle tells him to check the book (I can't remember the exact name) and he "slips to another time and space" then ends up in cave man times. I'd tell more, but that's the first five minutes of the game.
Graphics: 10 out of 10
The graphics are simply spectacular! The first time I saw it, I had to make sur I didn't turn on my Sega Genesis. The graphics are always at a top-down perspective, but everything is very well detailed and the use of color is very good. I also have never seen any slowdown.
Play control: 9 out of 10
The play control in this game is greatly improved from the original. In fact, that was my only real complaint about the original when Mike would sometimes slide when walking. In this game, the play control is very tight and responsive. There is also very little tile hopping, but when you do have to, it can be difficult because his jumping isn't always perfect.
Gameplay: 9 out of 10
The gameplay is the same as the original with less hopping on tiles. Well, that pretty much sums that up.
There are many difficult parts in this game where you just don't know what to do, so it can be frustrating at times, like the original.
Overall: 9 out of 10
This is definately one of the best games for the NES. It's mainly aimed at experienced gamers and the modern story gives it a much broader appeal than most adventure/rpgs.
Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

The definitive guide to Australian Wines

Southern Tasmania
Ian Roberts purchased the Riversdale property in 1980 while a university student, and says he paid a record price for the district. The unique feature of the property is its frontage to the Pittwater waterfront, which acts as a buffer against frost, and also moderates the climate during the ripening phase. It is a large property, with 37ha of vines and one of the largest olive groves in Tasmania, producing 50 olive-based products. Five families live permanently on the estate, providing all the labour for the various operations, which also include four 5-star French Provincial cottages overlooking the vines. A new cellar door and French bistro opened in Jan '16. Wine quality is consistently good, and can be outstanding.

State troopers lend hand so Conway Police can attend funeral
CONWAY (KATV) - Wednesday was a difficult day for Conway Police as fellow officer William McGary was laid to rest. But state troopers did more than send their condolences, they made it possible for these officers to say their last goodbyes.
"It's horrible it really is," said Keith Eremea, a state trooper.
He says he knows what it's like to lose a fellow officer in the line of duty. But he wanted to do something for Conway Police to make things just a little bit easier.
"We started answering calls for them about nine o' clock this morning and we'll finish about five, five thirty this afternoon," said Eremea.
Twenty officers from Conway, Garland and White County volunteered to pick up the shifts of Conway officers. All were able to attend McGary's funeral.
"A lot of the citizens when we first arrived wanted to know why it's a state trooper. But then when we tell them today was the day of the funeral they've been very supportive," said Eremea.
Firefighters also volunteered. Familiar with the city, they helped outside officers get around. Even if it meant coming in on their off day.
"They are on 24-hour shifts and they're normally off 48 hours," said John Skinner, a firefighters. "They're using their own time for this," he said.
And although none of these officers knew McGary personally, his death hit home for them.
"The ultimate goal is to come home at the end of the shift and be able to see your wife and family," said Brad Lann, a State Trooper. "And unfortunately it takes a turn for the worst and it doesn't always happen that way," he said.
But most importantly, it was a life lost that they say added something valuable to the Conway Police Department.
"He was an outstanding young man and an outstanding officer and that's what we need more of," said Chuck Lewis, a State Trooper.

Men Fashion 2015: Green, The Evergreen Color
The evergreen color
Green coloring in fashions is liked by the public because these are helpful to enhance beauty and prettiness. People can wear these colors as they can make them gorgeous and attractive. Right now the most famous enriching shading, green symbolizes nature. It is the least demanding shading on the eye and can enhance vision. Green color is an appropriate choice for the public and it is useful to make life pleasant. Ladies in the medieval times wore green to symbolize fruitfulness. Dim green is manly, moderate, and infers riches. On the other hand, sewers regularly decline to utilize green string on the eve of a design show for apprehension it will bring bad fortunes. Green involves more space in the range unmistakable to the human eye than most hues, and is second just to blue as most loved shading. Green is the pervasive shading in the characteristic world, making it a perfect setting in inside outline on the grounds that we are so used to seeing it all around. The regular greens, from backwoods to lime, are seen as serene and invigorating, with a characteristic equalization of cool and warm hints. Green is viewed as the shading of peace and nature. On the other hand, there is an "institutional" side to green connected with disease and government-issued green cards, that evokes negative feelings, as do the bilious greens. So, people can use green colors and this process should be done with the use of professional dress designers which are working well in the market. This scenario is likable for all human beings because this is cause of accomplishment in social and professional relations successfully.
Men fashion 2015: Green, the evergreen color:
- Utilization of shining dresses for making communal life shining:
Utilization of grooming techniques is favorable to make life agreeable and winning without any complexity. Colors need not be limited to center closet things. Hued frill are a flawless approach to demonstrate your perky side. A splendidly shaded sash is a quick, reasonable and simple approach to improve all your current outfits. Thus, people should be careful in selection of outfits that are attractive to make life attractive and eye catching in the social order. Splendid blue, green and red D-ring sashes are all extraordinary increases for those men who are somewhat careful about wearing shading.
Pair the cinch with pants and a white catch down shirt for an easygoing look amid the day. On the other hand, to include shading in your business wear or nighttime wear, think about including as a shaded pocket square to your jacket one pop of shading can go far. One striking bit of shading can be amazingly eye-getting, yet more than one will basically abandon you resembling a jokester; this is on account of the hued pieces will be rivaling each other. A woodland green trench layer worn with bald-faced state of mind looks faultlessly snazzy when matched with dull denim or khaki trousers. The essential thing to recall with this guideline for wearing shading is that whatever remains of your outfit ought to be kept to neutrals and fundamental cut with sensation. Thus, people can wear green colors and they can make them successful by social point of view. This is also fact that green colors are useful for human beings by spiritual point of view because this is a sensational matter.

I can't repeat this. The first time that I do this, I get the expected

YR 2005 SN 0838639682 9780838639689 AB "As its title suggests, The Critical Waltz: Essays on the Work of Dorothy Parker focuses on the writing, rather than the life, of one of the twentieth century's most famous underappreciated authors. Although Parker (1893-1967) is known as the caustic wit of the Jazz Age, her work embodies a range of sensibilities informed by the twin tensions of modernism and feminism." "What is the significance of Parker's work? This is the question that The Critical Waltz begins to answer by offering the first collection of criticism about Parker's writing. Five new essays, as well as two student essays, join thirteen essays published in journals and books since 1977. Organized into four parts - Modernist Contexts, Feminist Issues, Classroom Encounters, and Conversations - the arrangement of this volume reflects three broad categories that have emerged in the critical discussion of Parker's work since the late 1970s, followed by an interview and letters in which Parker speaks for herself."--Jacket.

Sale: "The Citadel of Weeping Pearls" to Asimov's
Quite pleased to announce I've sold my novella "The Citadel of Weeping Pearls" to Asimov's for their Oct/Nov 2015 issue, aka "Xuya meets time-travel". More info (including rough cover copy) here.
It's about the same length as On a Red Station, Drifting, so more of a short novel, really (34k words); with four POV characters and a fairly complex plot that includes an entire imperial court, thirty-two dead emperors emulated on complex hardware, and a science laboratory in a derelict tea-house; and a lot of familial relations and moral quandaries. Basically, if you liked On a Red Station, Drifting, you'll probably love this one (and it has a cameo from Linh, too!). And if you didn't like it–it's a way more ambitious piece with a bigger scope, so maybe more to your taste *g*
This blog will now lapse back into darkness while I sort out my childcare and my copy edits simultaneously (hint: neither of them are particularly efficient…)

Jul 25, Armor of God – Object Lesson
Think about it - why do we where shoes? Well for starters, they protect our feet from sharp objects, parasites & other crawly things, hot concrete, stickers, etc. Something else happens to my feet when I go barefoot too often though - my feet get dry and calloused. Not too long ago when I was studying the armor of God listed in Ephesians 6, God had me focus on "shod your feet with the Gospel of peace." This got me to thinking....it's a lot like when I go barefoot, if I neglect wearing the shoes of the Gospel of peace. The Gospel, or Good News, changed my life! Through faith I was able to have peace with God. That means that no matter what life brings my way - sharp objects, spiritual parasites, hot concrete or just stickers, I am protected because of the work of the Gospel in my life. Also, if I neglect putting on the shoes of the Gospel of peace, my heart can become dry, hard and calloused toward others and towards God. The Gospel of peace prepares us to walk in His love as we take the Good News to others! Yep, wearing shoes is important in this world in which we are sojourning. So when you put on your physical shoes, remember how important it is to also "shod your feet with the Gospel of peace!" "For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. Ephesians 6:15 NLT

As they say, "Why be normal?"
We certainly have been anything but normal this month with almost everyday near or above the average.
Check: Current Conditions | Weather Map Center | Interactive Radar
With the next 3 days expected to be above normal, this could likely end up being Boston's warmest November on record.
Watch Joe's forecast:
This morning SW winds have made for a very mild start in the 50's for most. Abundant high-mid level cloud cover will continue to stream through the region creating a cloudy appearance to the sky…but there will be breaks of sun. How much sun we see will determine how warm we eventually will become by this afternoon. A more active wind with gusts to 20-30 mph will bring temps into the lwr-mid 60's by this afternoon. I am expecting a thinning to the clouds for the second half of the day…any substancial sunshine will boost temps into the upper 60's…especially across Metro west all the way to the coast…but we'll see.
South flow remains in place tonight with much of the region remaining in the warm sector of the pattern. Clouds will be thickening overnight with some patchy fog or even spotty drizzle overnight with lows in the Lwr 50's
Tuesday will be watching a low tracking up the Ohio Valley up into the St Lawrence valley. Cloudy overcast skies with breezy SE winds…but still mild air in place will keep temps in the Upper 50's and Lwr 60's. Warmest temps will be in SE MA away from the coast with highs 62-64. Deepening moisture and high relative humidity through the day…but mainly dry. Light rain and drizzle will begin in western new England by late afternoon. By Tuesday night, the main batch of rain will push through with an occluded front. Briefly heavy downpours, maybe some embedded thunder which will produce a quick moving .50-1″ rain in downpours.
A mild start Wednesday morning with temps near 60 with showers quickly pushing off the coast. Colder air will be wrapping in on the back side of this departing low, so temps will begin to fall in the afternoon. High pressure builds in for Thursday with sunshine and Lwr 50's. A more seasonal feel to end the week.
Upper level shortwave will push through late Friday with a few clouds/brief rain/snow shower with a cooler shot of air to start the weekend. Sunshine Saturday mid 40's, Increasing high clouds Sunday 46-50.
A more significant shot of cold air is likely to come out of Canada into the northeast by Next week. This will have us reaching for the warmer coats and turning on the heat again as we will likely begin the transition to a cooler weather regime for December…very typical for this time of year.

Thought that I had to wait until this Friday, but the trailer is o u t ! I have been w a i t i n g for this movie to open, and I'm so stoked to, finally, see the trailer. The few ( and only ) available photos I have googled, are amazing. The book has been a favorite since I was a kid, and the drawings are always such an inspiration. oh, and Spike Jonze?! I just love.. beautifully shot films. cinematography. Sometimes, I can get a little teary eyed.. .dream-like films. ohhh<3 Do I need that poster in my office? yes, yes I do <3

Hi Jo!ReplyDelete
Also can't wait to see this movie and hope posters are available soon!
You commented on a very very old post about the Susan Bijl bags!! I got two of them and they are so handy! Always have them with me so I don't need plastic bags. They are 100 % nylon, the fabric they make parachutes from.

Former Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, the club announced Wednesday.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the deal is for two years.
The 32-year-old started 15 games for the Jets last season in what was statistically the worst year of his 10-year career.
The Jets cut Revis last Feb. 28, which freed more than $9 million in cap space.
Tags: Darrelle Revis
RB Matt Forte (knee), LT Kelvin Beachum (personal) and CB Rashard Robinson (illness) were the only Jets to not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Forte was injured during the Jets' 34-21 win against the Bills on Nov. 2 and has not practiced since.
CB Morris Claiborne (foot), DL Mo Wilkerson (foot), and G Brian Winters (abdomen) were limited participants.
Coming off their bye, the Jets return to action Sunday when they meet the Carolina Panthers at MetLife Stadium at 1 p.m.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - There was a time this summer when it seemed that the only quarterback decision Jets GM Mike Maccagnan would have to make next spring was "Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen?" The Jets were going to stink. They were going to have one of the top two picks in the draft. One of those quarterback prospects would belong to them.
Three months and four wins later, the name of the future Jets quarterback is a little hazier. Darnold and Rosen remain in play, but it may take some maneuvering for the Jets to land them. They have options on the roster and can be players in free agency, too.
So it's a wide-open competition to see who'll be the Jets starting quarterback on Opening Day of the 2018 season. Here's a look at some of the choices they're likely to have...

Jets head coach Todd Bowles recently said he won't be switching quarterbacks anytime soon, and current starter Josh McCown agrees with him.
Despite losing four of their last five games, the Jets are still in the thick of the AFC playoff race as they sit just one game back of the final Wild Card spot. McCown has been leading the Jets' offense all season, and with playoff implications still relevant, he doesn't see a reason to change now.
"I guess we're both kind of on the same page with that," McCown told NJ.com's Darryl Slater. "There wasn't a scenario where I saw it either. I think it's good to hear it, but we were already on the same page. So I don't know if that was necessarily a new thing."

Ralph Vacchiano | Facebook | Twitter | Archive: The bye week couldn't have gone much better for the Jets, who sat at home getting rest as the AFC playoff picture collapsed around them.
The Jets may have lost four of their last five games, but thanks to a group of increasingly mediocre, imploding, and very flawed teams in their conference, they just can't seem to slip out of the playoff picture. And in part because the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins lost on Sunday, the Jets will return to action this week just one game back in the race for the final wild-card spot in the AFC.
"I think it energizes us more than anything," Jets quarterback Josh McCown said. "We can't look back, obviously. Every team that has lost any game this year across the league would look and wish they had it back, especially if you are in the AFC. But more than anything it energizes us to know that we're still in the thick of things here with the last six weeks to play."
Yes, their schedule is difficult. But at this point, it's possible 8-8 might be good enough to snag the last playoff spot in this top-heavy conference. So the Jets are alive. And here - in current order of the conference standings - is a look at the rag-tag collection of "contenders" that might stand in their way:

When Bilal Powell was drafted in the fourth round of the 2011 draft by the Jets, he was joining a backfield that included the legendary LaDainian Tomlinson.
Powell only appeared in two games that season but the knowledge he picked up from Tomlinson in the Hall of Famer's final season was invaluable to his career...

Ralph Vacchiano | Facebook | Twitter | Archive: The most important football game for New York will not take place at the Meadowlands on Sunday. It will take place 2,800 miles away at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where the future of one or both of the New York teams may be on display Saturday night.
And yes, both the Giants and Jets will both have scouts in the press box watching UCLA take on USC - along with 18 other NFL teams. Their eyes will be fixed on Bruins quarterback Josh Rosen and Trojans quarterback Sam Darnold - the odds-on favorites to be the first and second picks of the 2018 draft.
The Jets, of course, are desperate to find their franchise quarterback. And the Giants are searching for the heir to their 36-year-old quarterback Eli Manning. Right now, the Giants seem to be in the best position to grab the quarterback they desire. But a few more losses over the final six games, and perhaps a trade up, and the Jets could be in position, too.
Jets CB Buster Skrine was fined $48,620 for his hit on Bucs WR DeSean Jackson last Sunday, per SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.
The third quarter hit on Jackson yielded an unnecessary roughness penalty. It was the 11th time this season Skrine has been penalized, which is the most by any defensive player in the NFL.
It is also the second time Skrine has been fined this season. He was docked for a hit on Raiders RB DeAndre Washington in Week 2.

Former Jet Bart Scott will join Chris Carlin and Maggie Gray as the team to replace Mike Francesa on WFAN, per the NY Daily News.
The annoucement has yet to be made by WFAN itself, but it was first reported that Carlin and Scott were to take part of the team taking over for the legendary Francesa.
Scott currently works with ESPN 98.7 while Carlin talks for WIP radio in Philadelphia. Gray works for SI Now and CBS Sports Radio.

The Jets put together their most complete performance of the season in an impressive 34-21 win over the Bills on Thursday night, rushing for almost 200 yards and racking up seven sacks and three fumble recoveries in the process.
Let's start this week by breaking down the performances on the offensive side of the ball:
With the running game working, Josh McCown didn't need to throw much this week, but he was efficient when he did. He threw just seven passes after halftime, completing five. In the first half, while the game was still in the balance, McCown gave the Jets the lead with a touchdown scramble, completing a drive he'd kept alive himself with another third-down run.

The Jets (4-6) are now on their bye week. Their next game is against the Carolina Panthers on November 26th. Here's what's going on today...

Unlike the previous week, the Jets offense looked stale in their 15-10 loss to the Bucs on Sunday.
Consistency is what the players didn't see from the unit after the game. As the Jets tried to find a rhythm, something would halt them in their tracks. Josh McCown says it's on the veterans like him because they didn't pull the team together.
"Myself and the other veterans have to pull these [young] guys along, help us find consistency and be better," McCown told Jets.com's Ethan Greenberg. "Because every unit, at some point this year, has played and shown that they can play with the best in the league. But we have to do that for four quarters week in and week out and we didn't do that today. We have to take these next two weeks to get healthy, look in the mirror and figure out ways to do that and be better, so we can make a run down the stretch."

The University of Tennessee has expressed interest in Jets DC Kacy Rodgers to become their next head coach, per Newsday's Calvin Watkins.
Tennessee fired Butch Jones on Sunday, leaving the school to hire a new coach following the season. No interviews have been scheduled as the talks are just beginning between both sides.
Rodgers played for the Vols from 1988-1991 was he was a linebacker/defensive end. He was also born in Humboldt, Tennessee.
The Vols do not need permission from the Jets to talk to Rodgers about the position.

After the win against Buffalo, there was a lot of hype about the "resurgent" Jets and some talk of Todd Bowles as a coach of the year candidate. However, after yesterday's dispiriting loss, the reality is that the Jets have lost four of five with their only win coming over a Bills team whose 37-point loss to the Saints yesterday suggests they have been overrated. Heading to the bye, it's probably time to reset our expectations.
Let's start this week by breaking down the performances on the defensive side of the ball...

Good and affordable nursing wears please.
Hello ladies!
I am totally new here.I gave birth to my 1st child 2 weeks back.And i hate getting out because i dont know what to wear.My pregnancy wears are becoming looser with time.And i have embarrassing leaking issues! I need to carry a shawl with whatever i wear.Please suggest me where can i get to buy good nursing wears .Online shopping is perfect.Oh,affordable is another word i would like to specify here.But please do not suggest thrift stores or second hand wears.Your help would be a blessing!
I like to wear nursing tanks under regular shirts.
You can wear nursing pads in your bras or tank tops to help with the leaking.
Look up the two shirt method on youtube. That's how I learned to nurse in public and what to wear.
I bought my nursing tanks at Walmart for 13.00 a piece. Target also has nursing tanks but they were 30.00 a piece. I've seen some nursing shirts at Burlington Coat Factory & Motherhood Maternity.
The absolute best nursing bras I used were actually Hanes (or Fruit of the Loom, don't remeber) sport style bras. They're soft, stretchy, supportive; and cheap to replace when either you wear them out or they don't fit. I'm pretty busty for my size and they worked great (I was a 38DD last time I nursed, started out as a 32B when I got married). That's what I suggest. Oh, and nursing pads; I used Lan...???somebody's for my first three, I don't remember them having adhesive on the back, but I used Johnson's for my last one and they have a little sticky tab on the back, so they stay put; it took a little doing, but I figured out how to position them such that they caught my leakage both right after a feeding and when I was full or engorged. Also, I had some Gerber reusable ones from a friend (I wanted to give them a try; I would make sure to have disposables on hand for backup/ NIP until you pin down how many you need/want to use for your nursing and laundry schedule).

Updated: How do companies get their massive distributive work forces to innovate and collaborate when they're thousands of miles apart? For social enterprise company Moxie Software and design firm IDEO, the answer was merging their ideas into a product called Spaces, which Moxie CEO Tom Kelly described at Net:Work on Thursday as delivering a brain dump that collectively ends up being our shared base of knowledge.
Spaces is an employee-profile-focused social network that uses tools like blogs, wikis, and messaging to merge employee ideas around groups, work flow and projects. As beret-wearing interviewer Stowe Boyd put it: the tool "is not a magic wand, it's a lever" for innovation.
The target customer is a company that is asking for help in "making us small again," said Kelly, and the profiles help collaborators be "engaged and fired up."
Doug Solomon, CTO of IDEO, said that after IDEO used the tool itself, the company saw "profound differences," in terms of the quality of collaboration and work flow with its employees. Spaces has also helped IDEO's employees figure out more similarities in personal likes, and has led to the development of new business around social impact, for example, said Solomon. (Update: Spaces was the result of an internal project from IDEO called the Tube.)

With a Class 5A-I football state semifinal game coming up Friday night, naturally Mountain Pointe is looking ahead.
But there are times teams reach the end of a season when they can look back and find a moment, even something seemingly insignificant at the time, that changed a season.
It isn't always something pleasant they want to recall.
But Mountain Pointe is riding a 12-game unbeaten streak going into the semifinal with Mesa Friday night at Gilbert Mesquite High School, so most of the memories are good ones.
Things could have been different for the Pride, who were trying to turn around a 2-8 season the year before, without a couple of subtle and not-so-subtle events.
"I hadn't thought about it," Mountain Pointe football coach Norris Vaughan said while the Pride were idle last week.
"Maybe coming back in the fourth quarter against Basha was the defining moment."
After winning the opening two games of the season against Mesa Dobson and Gilbert Highland, the Pride faced an aerial blitz from Bears quarterback Michael Benjamin and were trailing 10-0 at the start of the fourth quarter.
While the Pride defense shut out the Bears down the stretch, the offensive started to show it could come back.
Needing six yards on a fourth down, pride quarterback Austin Blom hit tight end Ben DeMarr with a 14-yarder to keep the drive alive and Davon Jones closed the gap with an 8-yard touchdown run with nine minutes remaining in the game.
A little more than two minutes later De'Andre Currie gave the Pride a 14-10 lead with a 15-yard run and then put the game on ice with a 69-yard sprint down the sideline.
It was a preview of what Jones and Currie could do in a pinch. They went on to take it to the opposition and have run for a combined 3,284 yards and 30 touchdowns this season.
"These kids say they believe in what you say," Vaughan continued, "but something like that has to happen to show them, so maybe that was the defining moment of the season.'
The Pride also came from behind to beat Desert Vista, 34-18, in the Ahwatukee Bowl, then really showed what they were made of this season when they pulled off another late run against Mesa Desert Ridge.
Mountain Pointe trailed 28-0 at halftime in that one, but rallied to win, 35-34.
"Coming back against Desert Ridge was big, too," Vaughan said. "It really made these kids believe what they could do."
There was some coming of age for individual players, too.
After Jones had a 99-yard kickoff touchdown return called back against Desert Vista, he fumbled on the Pride's first offensive snap of the game. Desert Vista's Jesse Clark turned it into a Thunder touchdown.
Jones ended up running for 217 yards and four touchdowns against the Thunder that night and hasn't lost a fumble the rest of the season.
"That was the turning point for Jones, not the team," Vaughan said.
What could be another defining Pride moment was in overtime during the team's playoff rematch with Basha when Jones was asked to pick up a yard-and-a-half on a two-point conversion run.
He went into the end zone standing up and the Pride moved on to the semifinals with a 22-21 victory.
"I thought the odds were heavily in our favor," Vaughan explained. "I was pretty confident that we could do it and if we didn't it would be my fault and no one else's."

Starhawk, Sony's new third-person sci-fi shooter game that debuts on May 8, is a frenetic action game that requires you to be a good shot and a big-picture strategist at the same time. The company released more screenshots and videos today to get gamers stoked about the major release on the PlayStation 3 game console.
The game is a spiritual successor to Warhawk, a PS 3 multiplayer-only combat game that came out in 2007. That game let you fight in the air, on the ground, in vehicles, and on ships. But Starhawk features multiplayer, a single-player campaign, and cooperative play as well. It is set in a sci-fi universe where you drop into a battlefield from orbit and start doing your worst in a pitched battle for control of resources and bases.
I played a cooperative mission during a live demo at the Game Developers Conference. You can play with three bots or three human players. The multiplayer beta has been live since February, but Sony has been revealing more details about the game in recent days.
The developer is LightBox Interactive; Dylan Jobe, the company's chief executive just talked about putting the finishing touches on the game in an interview with the PlayStation blog. He said there are seven new multiplayer maps coming that no one has seen before and that the team brought back arcade flight mode from Warhawk due to fan demand. And yes, he really did say "unknown unknowns" in that interview.
In the coop mode, I had to defend a base from enemy attack along with one other defender. To spawn, I came down in a pod and smashed into the ground. (If I landed near enemies, I would have taken them out). I had to look around for a glowing green tower that gave me energy when I stood near it. The more Rift energy you collect, the more you can shop for extras that will help you fend off attackers.
We started out with credits and spent them building structures that we could plant on the perimeter of the base. The offensive and defensive structures can be ordered on-demand from an orbiting drop ship that literally drops them onto the battlefield.
I had to get a supply bunker, which has ammo and grenades as well as weapons such as assault guns, rocket launchers, or shotguns. Then I was able to build a structure that could make a mech (like the one pictured at top). Once built, it drops a new mech in if you have enough rift energy to build it. Then you can go stomping around on enemy infantry while shooting in all directions. The aim system is pretty forgiving, and it isn't too hard to hit targets that are far away. Clearly, if you have the right build strategy, you can win the battle more easily.
You can also get in a Razorback, a vehicle that resembles a dune buggy that can run over or shoot your enemies. (It's like the Warthog in Halo). I also tried out a jet pack that let me fly around. You can buy gun turrets to stop enemies trying to take down your base, and you can create walls and a shield generator. You want to keep your base functional so you can keep getting energy. You can also leave the base and pick up barrels of energy spread across the map. If you're playing with a seasoned coop partner, you could have them do this.
There are different controls for characters, vehicles, and aircraft that you have to master in order to get good at the game. It would be wise to do that in the single-player campaign before you venture out onto multiplayer turf.
Overall, I thought the game play was fun, but the graphics weren't really up to par. It seemed as if very little had changed with respect to the quality of the graphics since Warhawk came out. Sure, it looks good, but it hasn't climbed a trajectory in the same way that the Uncharted games have done. If you like action and don't care so much about photorealistic graphics, this may be your game.

Northrop Grumman to Support Roll-Out of NATO MCCIS
Northrop Grumman has been selected by the NATO C3 Agency (NC3A) to provide hardware and software support services for the roll-out of the Maritime Command and Control Information System (MCCIS) across NATO countries.
The MCCIS merges information gathered from satellites, wide area networks, computerized tactical data processors and machine-readable messages to create a common operating environment for maritime and other assets. It is integrated by NATO support staff and includes commercial-off-the-shelf products together with NATO-developed applications. The MCCIS is installed in every NATO maritime headquarters, which includes more than 300 workstations.
Under the new MCCIS proliferation contract, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems Europe will survey and manage the procurement, installation and activation of the new equipment baseline for the MCCIS to 47 NATO and other nation sites. The contract, which forms part of the MCCIS stabilization program, will provide equipment for development, reference, support and operational use and will include Northrop Grumman's advanced data link simulation capabilities.
Hewlett-Packard as principal subcontractor will provide the information technology equipment required to implement the new services in 21 countries.
The MCCIS stabilization program is part of the Bi-Strategic Command Automated Information System (Bi-SC AIS) portfolio, one of the largest NATO common-funded programs resulting from the 1999 summit and re-enforced by the summit in 2002. It includes more than 100 projects funded by a dozen capability packages, implemented by several host nations and helps establish the foundation of the NATO Automated Information System.
Northrop Grumman Mission Systems Europe has provided its Interoperable C4I Services software and other related products to NATO and participating nations as the core components of the MCCIS system since 1997. C4I and Link capability provided under the MCCIS contract is a core capability of Northrop Grumman and is also supplied into other systems in the , and more than 40 nations worldwide.
In 2006 it expanded its role with NATO to take in-house the NATO developed software and stabilize it to provide the foundation of the MCCIS stabilization program. The software delivered under this existing contract will provide the system capabilities for the new equipment baseline.
The NATO C3 Agency helps the alliance focus its common-funded programs, together with nationally funded initiatives, into a common coalition-based force. As NATO's designated C3 architect, NC3A works closely with national agencies and industry to ensure that the alliance gains maximum synergy from this process. The end goal is to deliver those viable forces that Allied Command Operations needs to execute the missions and tasks given to it by the North Atlantic Council.

NASA's Top Official Questions Global Warming

NASA's Top Official Questions Global Warming
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin Questions Need to Combat Warming
"I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists," Griffin told Inskeep. "I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with."
"To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change," Griffin said. "I guess I would ask which human beings  where and when  are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."
This is exactly right. I happen to live on the border of one of the very few places on the earth where plant growth has suffered in the past 20 years of warming – south central Texas. We don't need more sunshine or warmer temperatures. We need more rain. But I'm not complaining because the vast majority of the world has an improved climate for food production.
Update: Scientists Rally Around NASA Chief After Global Warming Comments
11 Responses to NASA's Top Official Questions Global Warming
Yes, but, they also have a worse climate for food consumption.
Oh of course. Silly me. Everyone likes to eat outdoors when it's cold. The colder the better. My personal preference is about 20 degrees below zero, in a blizzard, with 40 mph winds. You? 🙄
First of all lets get our facts straight. Refrigeration and air conditioning are very recent inventions in human history and even today billions of people have neither. Fire is not a recent invention and man has been using it at least since the time he migrated away from equatorial Africa. Relatively few people are without heat for cooking and staying warm. Refrigeration and air conditioning are luxuries compared to heating for cooking and shelter.
Although I wouldn't necessarily say the trend is sure to continue the current trend is the higher northern latitudes are warming more than the middle and lower latitudes. Plus we aren't talking about average temperature increasing by more than a few degrees unless the projections are all wrong. The globe is warming more where it's needed and less where it's not needed. It's almost like a warmer world is a natural thing and life is quite well adapted to a warmer globe.
While there will be some statistically higher number of heat related deaths among the elderly in warm climates it has been proposed (see here)that this will be more than offset by a reduction of deaths due to colds and flu. The "cold and flu" season is in the winter in cold climates. No one is saying there aren't downsides to global warming or there won't be both winners and losers. What is proposed is that the upside is greater than the downside – more winners than losers.
Refrigeration – surely you aren't telling me the only choices are fresh or refrigerated. Almost everything can be dried for preservation. Refrigerated foods are a luxury. Staple foods such as rice and corn are preserved by drying them.
As far as Hansen – do you expect him to voluntarily tarnish his reputation by saying he's been wrong all these years? Griffin is the one who is taking the risk by rocking the politically correct boat. Hansen isn't and no matter which way this plays out Hansen will be safely retired by the time he can be proven wrong.
People have been preserving grain and dealing with vermin for thousands of years in the hottest of climates. Ancient Egypt for instance. The global warming scare is all over preserving the status quo not about the greatest good for the greatest number. Keeping the global climate constant is unnatural. It changes and life adapts to the changes. In fact biodiversity may actually suffer when the climate is unchanging for too long. Consider the case of fire suppression. In the past forest management practice called for the prevention of forest fires. We now know this is a not a good thing. Suppressing natural fires caused combustable fuels to build up so when a fire did come along (and it always does eventually) the intensity of it destroyed things that normally survive lesser fires and made the intense fires impossible to control. Fires were a natural thing and many species need the old growth cleared out from time to time in order to get their turn at bat. The same thing might very well apply to climate change. Plants and animals better adapted for warmer or colder climates get their turn at bat when it changes. If they don't get a turn they might just disappear.

Q: I retired a couple of years ago. My youngest son had received Social Security benefits based on my work record until he graduated high school last spring. Since he will be attending college this fall, will his Social Security benefits resume, as long as he's a full-time student?
A: No. Normally, a child's benefit stops when he or she reaches age 18, unless the child is disabled. If the child is still a full-time student in secondary or elementary school at age 18, benefits can continue until he or she graduates or reaches age 19, whichever comes first. For information, go to Social Security's Web site at www.socialsecurity.gov or call (800) 772-1213 (TTY (800) 325-0778).

Weak support and X-oom Movie Clone does not work for 90% of the things you buy this software for.Only copies 40%, then hangs. They when you try to update your get an Access denied error. Support takes two weeks and two reminders, then it is a generic "errors are caused by copy protection", that is poor service and was NOT the problem.

I had doubt when Hargau said Oriental Pearl was outstanding.
When they first opened, we tried their weekend dim sum. Our conclusion was "don't even bother".
As it is more easy for restaurants going downhill then getting better, I find it hard to believe someone would say it is outstanding. But since it has been in business for a couple years now and someone from this board recommended it, we gave it a try last weekend and I have to tell you, maybe because we didn't have high expectation, we were amazed by the quality and the variety of the food.
First, for the dim sum which we had no expectation at all after the experience from Yangtze River, we were very satisfactory with them. Certainly, they are not of Chinatown's calibre which you pay $2.5 average for one dish, the Siumai and Chicken feet are not bad at all.
As for the buffet table, they have a wide variety of food. The items include raddish cake, salt and pepper shrimp, five spice beef, congee, soy bean milk. What drove us to keep going back to for more were the pig feet and beef chowfun. They are better than a lot of places in Chinatown. Thier Fuzhou fish ball also adds person characteristic to this restaurant as the owner came from Fuzhou.
The best way to tell you how much I like it is I will pay $7.95 just for the beef chowfun, not to mention other items that you eat it not because you want to get the value back but they actually taste good.

Good Points
Good image, good movie, lens, color, noise, looks, LCD, almost everything except for the bad points mentioned below.
Bad Points
Above average purple fringing (arguably very much high for a bridge camera of this level), bad manual focus, slowest shutter speed limited to 4'', min aperture 3.5.
General Comments
Considering the excellent Value For Money, the cons of this camera can be easily over looked. However in needy situations the Cons definately make their presence felt. But similar cons are seen in other cameras too, which are priced more than twice the cost of this little wonder from fuji.

At a dog show near my home, I watched a Cardigan Welsh corgi named Trevor perform. At his master's command, he ran several yards away and immediately returned, he jumped fences, and he identified objects using his sense of smell. After finishing each exercise, he sat down at his master's feet and waited for more instructions.
Trevor's careful attention to his master's instruction reminded me of the devotion God desired from His people as they followed Him through the wilderness. God led in a unique way. His presence appeared as a cloud. If the cloud ascended, He wanted His people to move to another area. If the cloud descended, they were to stay put. "At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed" (Num. 9:23). The Israelites followed this practice day or night, regardless of how long they had to remain in one place.
God wasn't simply testing the Israelites; He was leading them to the Promised Land (10:29). He wanted to take them to a better place. So it is with us when God asks us to follow Him. He wants to lead us to a place of closer fellowship with Himself. His Word assures us that He is loving and faithful in leading those who humbly follow Him.
Or we'll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey. —Sammis
