An employee in the Columbus City Schools treasurer's office is under investigation by the state after thousands of dollars in cash turned up missing.
Late last year, the district reassigned Tina Dorsey, 43, from her job as an area treasurer, responsible for traveling to schools to help with recording and depositing cash collected for lunch programs, athletic events and other programs, district Treasurer Penny Rucker confirmed yesterday.
The move came after records showed that thousands of dollars in cash deposits didn't reconcile with receipts, Rucker said. She couldn't estimate how much money is missing.
Rucker reported the missing money to state Auditor Dave Yost's office, which is investigating.
State auditor spokeswoman Carrie Bartunek said she could confirm only that the office is conducting a special audit involving an area treasurer in the Columbus school district.
After being reassigned out of the cash-handling post, Dorsey began calling in sick and, when her sick time ran out, stopped coming to work, Rucker said. Under civil-service rules, the district plans to hold a personnel hearing in the coming weeks that could lead to Dorsey being fired for job abandonment, Rucker said.
"We just really haven't heard from her," Rucker said.
Area treasurers have routes that they travel among schools to assist in cash-handling. District records show that Dorsey was paid $40,110 during the 2010-11 school year. She has worked for the district since 2001.
Dorsey couldn't be reached for comment.

Source Select panels These panels are designed to control two independent heat sources. The Source Select is used when combining a solar system, geothermal system, wood boiler or other alternative heat source with a gas or oil-fired boiler as a back up. The primary source, typically, solar or geothermal, must utilize a water storage or buffer tank.
The alternative heat source is utilized first as long as the tank temperature is sufficient. In the event the alternative heat source is unable to satisfy the system load, the Source Select panel will use the secondary heat source until the primary source has been replenished. This panel is designed for use with a buffer tank, a Primary panel, and a Distribution Panel. Source Select panels are typically connected to the inlet side of any HydroNex Primary panel. A 2-conductor 18 gauge thermostat wire must be connected between terminals in the Source Select panel relay box and the P-Series panel.
Standard equipment includes:
Maximum flow for entire panel is approximately 22 gpm. Maximum flow for each 1" secondary is approximately 8 gpm. Each Watts Radiant 1558 circulator is capable of providing approximately 10 gpm at 10 ft hd.

It's just one of those things that makes Michigan, well, Michigan! We all know that thanks to the state's 10 cent deposit, each of our cans is worth one dime when you make that return to the store. If you drink much pop or beer, you also know that those dimes can add up pretty quickly. But a Northern Michigan mom and her son say their can collecting isn't paying off. They had questions. The answers I found for them are the subject of this Fact Finder.
With a smile, Andrea Kasper explains when it comes to finding cans for their deposit, its just not that hard, "I guess, they are everywhere form the disc golf course to around the neighborhood, out on back roads, they are everywhere." In fact, Andrea and her son Kole are doing their part, and then some to keep, pop cans from littering up Northern Michigan. Andrea says "last year we did it a lot more often. We were out there several times and a week, but really it's whenever the opportunity arises."
They do it for the environment, to keep the roads they drive clean, and also for that dime deposit. The way Andrea sees it, in this economy, every dime helps, "I can't see passing them up. I mean that's just money laying on the side of the road."
If you're like Andrea, and you find a lot of cans, you're bound to find to some that are less than perfect. Often times the cans are smashed flat, maybe a little rusty, or at least dented, which makes getting the deposit back on them difficult. (To read more about Michigan's Deposit Law click here.)
Pouring out bag after bag, Andrea claims she has close to 1000 crushed cans she found along the road in the past year. At a dime a piece, that's around $100 in refunds. The problem with getting that payout is that the automatic machines won't accept crushed or flattened cans. They can't read the bar codes on the cans, or if flattened enough, the cans won't even fit into the machine's opening. So if the machines won't take them, why not just return them to places that still do it the old fashioned way?
Andrea says "the small party stores will accept some, but they will in turn be getting ripped off." It turns out small, non-machine retailers don't want crushed cans because they get paid by the distributor $24 for a bag full of normal cans. If they fill up the bag with crushed ones instead of nice round one, it takes a lot more cans to reach the fill line; the problem is the retailer still gets paid the same $24.
Andrea hasn't given up, but has tried just about everything," I have contacted the distributors themselves, Pepsi. Pretty much I am getting the run around I think. There is not one place that will take them. It's a catch-22, it's against the law to pitch them, but no one wants to take them back."
Andrea has even looked at selling the cans for scrap metal, but at 50 cents a pound, she essentially would be giving up around $95 in possible deposit refunds. Before she does that she wanted to make sure that she had explored every possibility. That's why she called me.
I made some phone calls for Andrea to the Michigan Department of Treasury. They oversee the bottle deposit program. I explained to them the situation. That Andrea would like to get the deposit for the cans, but at the same time, doesn't want to see her local retailer end up getting under paid for them. They told me, crushed or not, if a store sells the brand, and if the cans are clean, the store has to pay you for the can. So Andrea, according to the Treasury Department, is protected by the law and should get paid her $100. That's good news for Andrea, but is that bad news than for stores? Does the store then loose out? No, legally, pop and beer distributors have to buy the cans, crushed or not, from the stores and pay them a dime a piece for them. Distributors can request that stores separate the crushed cans out into separate containers. So by law, everyone in this case should get what they are owed.
That's the policy at least. As we all know, sometimes reality and what is on paper are two very different things. Andrea still need find a retailer that would be willing to deal with a large quantity of cans. I made some phone calls to Meijer corporate headquarters. I explained to them the situation, and asked if they would be willing to work on a solution for an extraordinary set of circumstances. A Meijer spokesperson told me the corporation was impressed with Andrea's commitment to keeping our environment healthy and the responsible lesson she is teaching her son about stewardship. They said that in cases like this, every situation would have to be addressed on an individual basis. After evaluating the cans and determining their source, Meijer was able to make an exception to their $25 return policy, make good on Andrea's wishes to finally get the cans out of her garage, and in the process, help this single working mom put a little money back in her pocket for doing her part in keeping Northern Michigan beautiful.

Miami-Dade County commissioners signaled Tuesday they are prepared to overhaul regulations that govern the powerful taxi and town-car industries, which they described as dysfunctional and behind the times.
"It has taken us too long to get to where we are today," Chairwoman Rebeca Sosa said.
Just how far they are willing to go, however, remains to be seen.
Most commissioners said they intend to support legislation that at any other time would have been the focus of attention: requiring most or all cabs to provide credit-card payment machines.
But there's an even more contentious proposal on the commission's plate: deregulating the town-car industry to allow certain mobile technology companies that dispatch drivers to passengers, such as San Francisco startup Uber, to break into the South Florida market.
A majority of commissioners seemed to favor that legislation as well, but their support was far more tentative, tempered by questions and suggestions for improvement before it comes before commissioners for a vote later this year.
Commissioner Dennis Moss, who spearheaded the last revamp of taxi regulations in 1998, said he has qualms about doing away with limits on the number of black sedans allowed to offer their services in the county, as proposed in the measure sponsored by Commissioner Audrey Edmonson.
"We're not New York, and we're not D.C.," Moss said. "Maybe an unlimited open market doesn't work here."
In contrast, the board was so enthusiastic about Commissioner Juan C. Zapata's proposal to require taxis that pick up passengers at PortMiami and Miami International Airport to provide credit-card machines that several commissioners urged him to expand his measure to all cabs — as long as neither cab drivers nor passengers bear the brunt of the processing costs.
The commission also seemed receptive to Commissioner Jose "Pepe" Diaz's plan promoting an "ambassador" cab decal for airport and seaport taxis, as proposed by Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Aviation Director Emilio González. That program would go beyond requiring credit-card machines and also equip taxis with SunPass transponders and require drivers to provide more courteous service.
But it was the proposed town-car deregulation that was at the center of Tuesday's meeting, a chance for commissioners to hear from the public and discuss several related pieces of legislation without having to make any decisions yet. They spent much of their time emphasizing poor work conditions for taxi drivers, citing that as a key reason for backing regulatory reforms.
The daylong meeting drew throngs of lobbyists, executives and taxi and town-car drivers to County Hall, where an overflow was accommodated outside the commission chambers. Inside, much of the audience was visibly split, with one group opposing town-car deregulation wearing yellow T-shirts and another supporting it wearing black ones.
In addition to allowing an unlimited number of drivers to obtain town-car permits, Edmonson's proposal would eliminate requirements that town-car rides be pre-arranged at least an hour in advance and that fares be far higher than those charged by taxis.
Those changes would allow Uber and its competitors to set up shop in Miami-Dade. Uber does not hire its own drivers or own its own cars; instead, it provides a smartphone app to connect partner drivers to would-be passengers willing to pay for a car service more expensive than a taxi in exchange for the convenience of requesting it from their cell phones.

Gabriel is writing an important letter. Will you?
"This is not the kind of world we want to live in. Whole families are happy families, and it should be kept that way."
— Gabriel, 12 years old, Portland, Oregon
When twelve-year-old Gabriel learned that U.S. immigration policies are separating children from their parents, he was shocked. It was hard for him to imagine that 5.5 million children just like him have at least one parent who is at risk of deportation, and that over five thousand children are in foster care as a result.
So Gabriel decided to do something about it. And he's not alone.
Thousands of children around the country are writing letters to express one, shared wish: keep all of our families together. They are participating in A Wish for the Holidays, a letter writing campaign that will bring children's voices to policymakers in Washington, DC.
Please join Gabriel in helping to keep families together this holiday season. Click here join the A Wish for the Holidays campaign.
Will you help the young people in your life write a letter to keep families together? You can find everything you need to get started at www.WeBelongTogether.org/wish, including information on the issues, tips for discussing them with children, and age-appropriate activity guides. Our goal is to collect 20,000 letters by the end of November from children around the country, and then deliver them to the members of Congress who most need to hear from our young people.
For Gabriel and his family, A Wish for the Holidays has already been a powerful experience. Gabriel's mom, Aimee, has told her children that "we all have a role to play, and unless all communities are safe, there is no safety for anyone." Gabriel wants other young people to know that "every little letter counts towards the big picture, no matter how small you might feel."
Please join Gabriel. Help us keep families and communities together. Click here to get started.
Thank you for your participation in this important project,
Ai-jen Poo, National Domestic Workers Alliance
Miriam Yeung, National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum
A Wish for the Holidays is a project of We Belong Together, a collaboration of women's and immigrant rights groups working to expose the negative impact of anti-immigrant policies on our families and communities, and to achieve a society that upholds possibility and dignity for all.

Over the weekend, Correa said Vice President Joe Biden asked Ecuador to reject Snowden's request.
Obama said Monday that Snowden had traveled to Russia without a valid passport or legal papers and that he hoped that Moscow would handle the case as it would any other travel-related matter.
Here's a rundown of what countries are saying about Snowden's asylum requests:
• Austria: His request is not valid, because applicants must be in Austria and submit their applications in person.
• Bolivia: Despite WikiLeaks' statement, Morales, the Bolivian president, said Bolivia has not received a request for asylum on Snowden's behalf, Itar-Tass reported.
• Brazil: The country won't grant asylum or even respond to the request, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing a Foreign Ministry spokesman.
• China: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tuesday it had no information to offer on Snowden's case.
• Cuba: No response yet.
• Ecuador: The South American country has said that it's considering Snowden's request but that he needs to reach its territory.
• Finland: "We don't have an official application from Snowden," Jorma Vuorio, director general for the migration department of the Interior Ministry, told CNN. "He just left a letter requesting asylum at the Finnish Embassy in Moscow. According to Finnish legislation, it is not possible to leave an asylum application outside the Finnish territory."
• France: Hollande, the French president, said he has "not received any particular demands from Mr. Snowden," according to French television reports.
• Germany: Asylum requests must be made from within the country, but an Interior Ministry spokesman also said "the German right of residence principally entails the possibility of acceptance from abroad, if this seems necessary for international legal or urgent humanitarian reasons, or for the ensuring of political interests of the federal republic of Germany. This needs to be examined thoroughly in the case of Mr. Snowden."
• Iceland: Officials have said asylum seekers need to be in Icelandic territory in order to apply.
• India: Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said Tuesday that India will deny the request.
• Ireland: The Irish Justice Ministry declined to confirm whether it had received a request on Snowden's behalf, but said Irish law requires that applicants reach the country's borders before a request can be considered.
• Italy: The Italian Foreign Ministry said it received an asylum request by fax. The country accepts requests made in Italian territory or at the border, the ministry said.
• The Netherlands: Snowden would need to be in Holland to formally request shelter, a spokesman for the Dutch state secretary said Tuesday.
• Nicaragua: No response yet.
• Norway: The country confirms the receipt of his request, but usually, asylum seekers must be in the country already to be allowed to apply. The Ministry of Justice is considering whether or not to process his application.
• Poland: Snowden's request for asylum doesn't fulfill requirements, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tuesday.
• Russia: Snowden has withdrawn his request for permission to stay in Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday, according to the news agency RIA Novosti.
• Spain: The country is not reviewing Snowden's request because it must be made from within or on its borders, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.
• Switzerland: Applicants for political asylum have to be on Swiss soil, a spokeswoman for the Swiss federal office for migration said Tuesday. Swiss authorities aren't aware of any application by Snowden, the spokeswoman said.
• Venezuela: "We haven't been asked for help, but when he asks, he will have an answer," Maduro, the Venezuelan president, said Tuesday.

Pakistan: Abduction of human rights defender Mr Aijaz Ahmed, whose whereabouts remain unknown
On 23 July 2012, human rights defender Mr Aijaz Ahmed was abducted from his home by a large contingent made up of security forces officials and employees of individuals involved in land-grabbing and the illegal degradation of mangrove forests
The human rights defender was taken to an unknown location and police deny any knowledge of his arrest. Aijaz Ahmed is a member of the Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum (FPP), and campaigns against land-grabbing and the illegal degradation of mangroves in Kakkapir Village, Maripur, Karachi, Sindh Province.
On 23 July 2012, at approximately 3:00am, Kakkapir Village was cordoned off by a group of between 70 and 80 people largely comprised of local police officials from Maripur Police Station, as well as other security forces officials and employees of individuals involved in land-grabbing and the illegal degradation of mangrove forests. The group went to Aijaz Ahmed's home and arrested him without producing an arrest warrant. They took him to an unknown location and his whereabouts remain unknown. When villagers asked about the defender's whereabouts, officials at Maripur Police Station denied any knowledge thereof.
It is believed that the abduction of Aijaz Ahmed is linked to the legal battle to halt the illegal cutting of mangrove forests. Following the killing of two leading FPP activists in Kakkapir Village in May 2011 a month after the High Court had given a stay order against the cutting of mangroves, Aijaz Ahmed took up a legal battle against one of the alleged killing perpetrators named Haji Younis, the Sindh Province Administration, the Board of Revenue of Sindh Province and the Maripur and West Zone Karachi Police.
On 9 June 2012, a committee established by court order to monitor the cutting of mangroves visited Kakkapir Village in order to assess the condition of mangrove forests there and record any encroachments.
During the visit, the committee witnessed the illegal destruction of mangrove forests, and this information led to the issuance of a court order to immediately cease these activities. After the court order was issued, individuals engaged in the illicit destruction of mangrove forests began intimidating Aijaz Ahmed and others involved in the campaign to protect mangrove forests.
Front Line Defenders is gravely concerned for Aijaz Ahmed's physical and psychological integrity, and believes that his abduction is directly related to his peaceful and legitimate human rights activities, particularly his campaign to stop the illegal degradation of mangrove forests.
Action Update Needed. Before taking further action on this case please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for further information

- Selectively stains F-actin
- Outstanding fluorescence performance
- Excitation/Emission: 591/608 nm
- Superior to antibody staining
- Optimal for fixed and permeabilized samples
Get Superior Results in Actin Staining Studies
Phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide belonging to a family of toxins isolated from the deadly Amanita phalloides "death cap" mushroom and is commonly used in imaging applications to selectively label F-actin. Fluorescently-labeled phalloidin has virtually identical binding properties with actin from different species including plants and animals. Phalloidin binds F-actin with high selectivity while Texas Red®-X provides red fluorescence with superior brightness. Demonstrating very little nonspecific staining, Texas Red®-X phalloidin allows high-contrast discrimination of actin staining.
Use in Multiple Applications
Texas Red®-X phalloidin can be used to visualize and quantitate F-actin in tissue sections, cell cultures, or cell-free preparations. Texas Red®-X phalloidin staining is fully compatible with other fluorescent stains used in cellular analyses including fluorescent proteins, Qdot® nanocrystals, and Alexa Fluor® conjugates including secondary antibodies.
For research use only. Not intended for human or animal therapeutic or diagnostic use.

Richard I (Dictionary of World Biography: Middle Ages)
Article abstract: Although Richard I has not gone down in history as a particularly good king, he was the epitome of the literary medieval knight—brave, skilled, and chivalrous.
Early Life
Richard I, King of England, was born on September 8, 1157, in Oxford, England. He was the third son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, two historical giants of the era. Tall, with blue eyes and golden hair, he inherited from his mother a sensitivity for music and poetry which made him very popular with the troubadours. His real interest, however, was warfare, and it was because of his great valor that he was called "the Lionhearted." He was plunged into the game of international politics very early, when at the age of three he was betrothed to Louis VII's daughter Alice. When he was eleven, he rendered homage to Louis for his mother's duchy of Aquitaine, and in 1172 he was formally installed as Duke at Poitiers. A year later, he joined his brothers, the younger Henry and Geoffrey of Brittany, in a revolt against their father, which ended only after Henry II had invaded Aquitaine twice to subdue his rebellious son. Richard was soon forgiven, however, and reinstated in his duchy.
From 1175 to 1181, Richard's reputation as a warrior grew steadily as he was forced to crush...

Richard I (Magill's Guide to Military History)
Article abstract: Military significance: Richard I achieved significant victories over the Muslim warrior Saladin in the Third Crusade; although he never retook Jerusalem, he gained permission for Christians to visit the Holy City.
Richard, the third child of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, became heir to his father's lands (including major holdings in France) when his older brother, the Young Henry, died in 1183. Six years later, Henry II died, and Richard became king of England and lord of possessions in France. Almost immediately upon ascending the throne, Richard left England on what was to become known as the Third Crusade (1187-1192). On the way to the Holy Land, he joined forces with the French king, Philip II. Richard's relationship to Philip was complex: The English king was betrothed to Philip's sister but wanted to marry another. Richard asked Philip to release him from the engagement and was granted his request in return for a large sum of money and certain lands in France. Wary of each other but committed to the crusade, the two kings arranged to meet in the Holy Land. Before that happened however, Richard seized the island of Cyprus from its Byzantine ruler.
Richard's first victory in the Holy Land was over the coastal city of Acre, which had been seized by the Muslim leader Saladin in 1187. In July, 1191, Richard's troops combined with Philip's to besiege the walls of the fortified...

Best wishes, Ray: The dean is on the mend
Treatments for a curable form of kidney cancer have required the 73-year-old executive councilor to take a break from his normal nonstop schedule and forced him to check into Woodsville's Cottage Hospital. He's home now, but Burton still faces another month or two of chemotherapy. That powerful medicine often leaves patients half his age exhausted, which means it is just about as tough as Burton's typical work week.
For decades, this editorial page has criticized Burton and questioned his outsized political clout. But we understand why his popularity has been so high for so long. It's not just about the dollars he brings back to District 1. While many politicians feign a love for their district, Ray Burton's commitment is real. After decades of phone calls, meetings, ribbon-cuttings, radio shows and civic events, many voters believe they have no better friend in Concord.
In last September's primary, a feisty GOP challenger did not hesitate to praise Burton's years of service. "I know Ray has an excellent record," the underdog said. "He's the best one in the state in the way he responds to his constituents." The incumbent promptly trounced him, winning 71 percent of the vote. In the general election, his opponent felt it necessary to salute him as "a legend." In the midst of the Democratic sweep, Burton easily won his 18th term.
There will be less wear and tear on New Hampshire's rural byways while Ray's car is parked and he is at home. Perhaps the state should shift some highway money to other districts. No, we're not serious. But if the councilor believes anyone might try, he's likely to recover even quicker than his doctors think possible, just to protect his beloved road projects.

about surface Retention of soil with the plant magic range..
Think thats what you call it's kind of where if you where to pour say some water
ontop of the soil it just sit's there until the water retention is broke which then
allows water to pass through the rest of the layers..
Thats only way i can think of explain this,I find with the plant magic soil
it seams to dry very quickly and also with the problem i mentioned above with
the surface retention issue..
Has any one else has issue like this and how do you combat it im not sure if
its me or some thing im doing temps are fine i water allot more than i do with
any other soil maybe 2-4 times a week and then a feed inbetween.
I also use auto pots i love all the range that the plant magic guys create
all have played massive rolls in my success just cant get away with the
I wanted to just put this up as to see if others think the plant magic soil
has issue with water retention like breaking the film on the surface.
The reason for my post was to put my $2 into this as i and a few others
who used the soil recommended that it was drying out very quickly..
I dunno is this not beneficiary to the plant to get more watering and
feed cycles..???
I chose to go with another brand to try with the plant magic range
and compliments it really well with out the over drying issue i
was having..
Maybe i just got an old batch from the grw shop :-)
Will try again next time with the plant magic soil..
Any ways enough rambling from me..
And keep up the good work guys making a huge difference in the growing

Sometimes you just don't know and have to rely on the reporter. Maybe some triagers are overactive in using it. E.g. closing just because of a new GNOME version isn't right. But if the bug is old and/or lots of new development happened in between, then it can be ok to ask if it still applies. But it is up to the triager/developer to make a judgement call.
Bugsquad decides entirely on how it is done in general for triagers. They used to ask the reporter and wait a while (e.g. 6 weeks, 3 months). But they noticed that often there was no feedback at all. So instead of leaving it open ("NEEDINFO"), they're closing it more quickly.
The reporter has the ability to reopen, so don't see anything wrong with this? It should say to please reopen, no?
Anyway, if you have suggestions on the stock answer, could you please email email@example.com (I tend to ignore LWN articles after a few days; hard to track if not a subscriber)? Or followup now and I'll mention it to them. Entire process change is better if you discuss directly (I'd just be a postman).

I don't see anything wrong with requesting more information on a specific bug and closing it if the reporter doesn't provide that information. I just object to having to babysit a pile of bugs and mechanically reopen them each time someone mechanically closes them.

This one demonstrates particular rudeness: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671744
These just use the stock template I mentioned:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672014 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671962 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671894 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671856 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671316 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671099
Valid reasons to close a bug: "can't reproduce that in the current version", or "the entire subsystem you reported the bug against doesn't exist anymore in the current version, and its replacement doesn't have that problem". Invalid reasons to close a bug: "there's a new version and we don't care about the old one anymore", without actually testing that the new version doesn't have the problem, especially when it turns out that it *does*.
Posted Mar 30, 2012 14:10 UTC (Fri) by ekj (subscriber, #1524) [Link]
That's not the behaviour I've been seeing though. Instead what I've seen are mechanical mass-closings of the "This is 9 months old, and we're released a new version, so it's being closed", even in cases where the bug was narrowed down to specific functions that hasn't had a single change in those 9 months.
If they instead put it at "NEED INFO" and didn't get any, in a reasonable amount of time, then okay, fine, close the sucker. But I've never once seen that happen. Instead the bug goes straight from "CONFIRMED" to "CLOSED" with no questions posed.
The routine should be to *either* investigate slightly to see if there's any actual reason to think the bug is probably gone, or else, to atleast ask the submitter "Has anyone tested this with a current release ? Is it still relevant?" *then* close it if 3 weeks later there's been no response.

Companies plan for possible swine flu pandemic
Following the outbreaks of SARS and Avian Flu earlier this decade, Sprint Nextel has taken the threat of a global flu pandemic very seriously. And in 2005, the company created a special group within its Emergency Incident Management team to plan what to do in such an emergency.
Late last week, when the World Health Organization started alerting the international community to the threat of the swine influenza that originated in Mexico, Sprint's four years of planning came into action and Sprint has been working through its checklist of actions. On Friday, it started posting information and updates on … Read more

What are political implications for unions?

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- much the president weighing in.
On the right to work debate during his visit to Michigan just yesterday take -- -- This so called right to work -- that they don't have to with the economic very very -- politics.
Whether -- thought about it.
They're giving you the right to work for less money.
Joining us now Bob Cusack managing editor of the hill is the president right is -- more -- do Bob with politics and it is about anything else.
Well I tell you -- you know these union battles there they rarely -- they're very intense.
And is obviously going to be the future battles now the unions is a big blow to -- you look at Wisconsin.
You look now at Michigan with this -- -- pass.
What Wisconsin -- -- with Scott -- collective bargaining battle.
That unions lost of course what -- labor and got their guy two win yet -- presidential election so but but this is a blow to to organized labor and I think that these.
These protests are just a message to other states listen if you do.
You try to do this we're coming after you.
But here's the question though does -- have more to do with the -- -- unions play.
In the workplace or more that of the role that unions play in electing democratic politician.
Well I mean union say listen.
This is this is direct assault on them and it will lower wages and also.
Lesson not working conditions.
Industry leaders pushed back I mean there's -- this is as partisan as you get on energy issues even immigration you have more regional differences.
These are basically Republicans and Democrats going at it across the board on on labor issues but these laws Bob they don't they and unions.
They just give people the choice as to whether they want to join and pay dues or not.
Again and Republicans say listen why should.
Why should a Republican union member contribute to a union that will then turn around that money and elect a Democrat they say that's unfair.
Com but unions say let's see if you go back this century when there -- you know that very little union presence and we're not no union presence.
-- the working conditions.
Were awful.
We've see this now happened in Wisconsin.
In Ohio.
Were watching -- play out now on the streets in Lansing Michigan.
Nationally speaking.
What what does this mean for the president who won a second term.
In no small part because of the support the financial backing of the unions and -- I think it's fascinating that Obama -- has injected himself in this battle by and large he kept the Wisconsin battle before it.
The election really at arm's length and and it frustrated union officials who were also frustrated with him for removing some trade deals and not seeking out single Payer health care.
Legislation instead of going in another direction on health -- obviously got that passed.
But Obama jumping into this debate and I think that this is a signal he's gonna he's gonna get -- back on this and other issues but remember he's got -- strike a fiscal -- deal.
And that deal is likely to contain some things unions don't like so I think sent back some of the politics going on right now.
Bob Cusack managing editor of evil good talking about thanks so much Patrick.

I am a mother of three children, two of which are closing in on their pre-teen/teen years. And I believe as a parent it is important to start teaching them now how to be productive members of society. I was raised in the south, and there they all say it takes a village to raise a child. That couldn't be further from the truth! I'm looking to start a group that can teach our children worth ethic and the value of charity and volunteering. If we start when they are young, it gives them a greater ch …

Ariel Winter's Father Files Objection to Guardianship Petition
After allegations continued to pound the headlines, more details have emerged regarding Ariel Winter'spersonal life.
One day before a hearing in the case was scheduled to convene, the young actress's father filed an objection to a petition that would strip his estranged wife, Chrisoula (Crystal) Workman, of custody of the 14-year-old.
In the documents, Glenn Workman states , "I am physically, emotionally, and financially capable of caring for my daughter, without limitation. No evidence has been produced that suggests any detriment to Ariel associated with my father-daughter relationship with her."
Insisting that money has nothing to do with his decision , Glenn continues, "I am a frugal and modest person with a moderate income who doesn't need Ariel's income to survive ... I believe Ariel has demonstrated a lot of maturity and is at an age now that she should have more control over her finances."
Winter's father also refers to her "strained" relationship with her mother, Chrisoula (Crystal), contending that the situation should not speak for his own relationship with his daughter. "We enjoy going on long walks together ... and I love to listen to her talk to me ... I find her to be very interesting," he says.
Workman closed by writing, "I ask this court to allow me the chance to function as a healthy parent and help Ariel through this ordeal."
Trying her best to carry on a daily routine, Ariel Winter went shopping at the farmers' market in Studio City, CA on Sunday (November 11).
Joined by her sister and her current guardian, Shanelle Gray, the "Modern Family" actress hid under a ball cap as she attempted to get past the mob of shutterbugs waiting for her outside the produce stands.
The afternoon outing came just days after Ariel was removed from her mother's home after abuse allegations surfaced.
Workman denies any of the claims, telling Celebuzz, "I love my daughter very much. I would never abuse her in anyway and I have always tried my best to always protect her and do what is right for her."
However, at this time, law enforcement officials have confirmed to TMZ that the Sheriff's special Victims' Bureau is currently investigating the allegations.

Although the SEALs were within Pakistan's borders for three hours, its military did not detect them.
"The radar systems were not looking for that kind of intrusion from the Afghan side of the border," terror expert Peter Bergen said. He feels sure that will change now.
The report also dedicated 22 pages to fighting terrorism and keeping people like bin Laden from taking refuge in the country again.
The report's authors blast Pakistani authorities at every level of government, intelligence and the military for not stopping the U.S. mission, calling it "a story of complacency, ignorance, negligence, incompetence, irresponsibility, and possibly worse at various levels inside and outside the government."
Pakistan's government considers the assassination operation a violation of its sovereignty, basically an act of war.

MIRACLE CELLS?: Can algae serve as the fuel and food of the future? J. Craig Venter hopes to make it so.

Microbes will be the (human) food- and fuel-makers of the future, if J. Craig Venter has his way. The man responsible for one of the original sequences of the human genome as well as the team that brought you the first living cell running on human-made DNA now hopes to harness algae to make everything humanity needs. All it takes is a little genomic engineering.
"Nothing new has to be invented. We just have to combine [genes] in a way that nature has not done before. We're speeding up evolution by billions of years," Venter told an energy conference on October 18 at the New America Foundation in Washington, D.C. "It's hard to imagine a part of humanity not substantially impacted."
Venter turned his attention to the genetic manipulation of algae after a two-year cruise to sample DNA in the ocean. The goal was to harvest the building blocks of the future for a biology that has been converted from the bases A, C, G and T into 1's and 0's—a digitized biology. He found that most of the millions of genes collected came from algae, one of the tinier organisms on the planet but one that already has an outsized planetary impact, providing more than a third of the oxygen we breathe.
Venter is looking to boost that impact further. His reengineered photosynthetic cells would take in carbon dioxide and sunlight and spew out hydrocarbons ready for the ExxonMobil refinery (the oil giant that has provided Venter's company Synthetic Genomics with $300 million in funding to date). In the process, the algae will turn a problem—CO2 causing climate change—and transform it into a solution—renewable fuels and slowed global warming. "Trying to capture CO2 and bury it is just dumb; it's going to be the renewable feedstock for the future," he said.
His commercial enterprise, Synthetic Genomics, has now also formed a new company with Mexican investment firm Plenus dubbed Agradis. Given algae's multibillion-year track record with photosynthesis and genetic experimentation Agradis's purpose is to turn that genetic cornucopia into improvements in agricultural crops, whether corn or canola—as well as use algae as a model for testing various new genetic combinations. A similar partnership between Monsanto and algae company Sapphire Energy will "use our algae platform that we developed to mine for genes that can transfer into their core agricultural products," explained Tim Zenk, Sapphire's vice president for corporate affairs in a prior interview with Scientific American. "When you do genetic screening in algae, you get hundreds of millions of traits in the screen and that accelerates the chances of finding something that can be transferred."
If that's not enough, Venter sees a role for synthetic biology in food beyond crops and livestock—specifically the growing hunger for meat around the world. "It takes 10 kilograms of grain to produce one kilogram of beef, 15 liters of water to get one kilogram of beef, and those cows produce a lot of methane," another potent greenhouse gas, Venter observed. "Why not get rid of the cows?" The replacement: meat grown in a test tube from microbes thanks to synthetic biology.
It's not likely you'll be buying microbial meat in the immediate future, but it's also clear that biology should not be overlooked as a font of solutions for that future. "The problem with existing biology is you change only one or two genes at a time," he noted of today's genetic engineering. "We're building a robot to make a million chromosomes a day and be self-learning. … The only limitation is our knowledge of biology."
Scientific American spoke with Venter about his hopes for algae and synthetic biology.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
Why algae?
Looking at the yield of different agricultural crops, none of them is very impressive compared with what needs to be done [to replace oil]. Then you look at the potential output from algae, and it's one to two orders of magnitude better than the best agricultural system. If we were trying to make liquid transportation fuels to replace all transportation fuels in the U.S. and you try and do that from corn it would take a facility three times the size of the continental U.S. If you try to do it from algae, it's a facility roughly the size of the state of Maryland. One is doable and the other's just absurd, but we don't have an algae lobby.
It's been tried before, going all the way back to the turn of the last century. It's not a new notion to use algae to try to do something. But nobody's achieved the necessary level of production. Everybody is looking for a naturally occurring algae that is going to be a miracle cell to save the world and, after a century of looking, people still haven't found it. We hope we're different. The [genetic] tools give us a new approach: being able to rewrite the genetic code and get cells to do what we want them to do.
What are the big hurdles?
Everybody trying to grow stuff has all the same challenges. On the growth side, what we're doing with the [Synthetic Genomics] Exxon program, we're actually testing every technology on the growth side. Then there's the cell biology side, the manufacturing side. How do you manufacture on the scale of multiple–square-mile facilities and billions of gallons of liquid hydrocarbons that can go into ExxonMobil refineries? Half the money of the $600 million on the table is going to major engineering tests and concepts.
It's just the size, the expense—billion-dollar–plus facilities. Getting algae that are really robust and can withstand true industrial conditions on a commercial basis. You can't afford to shut down a plant for contamination. Most algae growers have to do that at a fairly frequent pace.
On the cell biology and strain development side of things, we have a large, greenhouse test facility in La Jolla [Calif.] We don't claim to have instant answers. We are talking a systematic scientific approach to trying all the past technologies and new ones with new twists. The thing that will make the difference is the engineered cell, cells that can produce 10 to 100 [times] as much. The same genetic engineering and genome engineering we have, we can make cells that are resistant to viruses.
The scientific breakthrough that we made early—that attracted Exxon—we engineered [a] cell to pump hydrocarbons out of the cell. Algae is a farming problem: growing, harvesting, extracting. It's a work in progress, and we're working hard.

UWA Softball Cruises Past Stillman
- 2-18-2010
- Categorized in: Softball
LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama softball team pounded out 20 hits in a doubleheader sweep of Stillman College on Wednesday afternoon at the UWA Softball Complex. UWA blanked SC 15-0 in the opener and claimed a 7-2 decision in the second contest.
UWA put together back-to-back seven spots in the second and third innings thanks to the long ball in the opener. Senior Angela Hanna cleared the bases with a three-run blast to centerfield, scoring Anna Shartzer and Ashley Frost, who started the second with a single and double respectively. Hanna has now turned in a home run in back-to-back games. Junior Stephanie Beahn joined the home run parade with grand slam over the centerfield wall in the second. In the third, UWA added a pair of round-trippers off the bats of Meagan Sloke and Hannah Billingsley. All 12 of UWA's hits in the first game came in the second and third innings.
In the circle, UWA junior Katie Ford came a few feet away from a no-hitter, but a bunt single by Stillman's Arnishkia Nelson in the third ended the possibility.
In the second game, Stillman jumped ahead 2-0 in the second inning with its only runs of the day. UWA answered with a four-run bottom half. Senior Lauren Mills opened the frame with a double and was plated on a miss-played ball off the bat of Mary Wright. The Tigers took advantage of two SC errors and scored on a pair of wild pitches. Shartzer and Brandi McGee led the Red and White bats with 2-for-3 performances at the plate. Senior pitcher Jessica Cervantes (1-0) picked up the win after tossing five innings and posting a career-best nine strike outs.
Stillman travel's to Concordia College in Selma, AL February 26.
