Outgoing Las Vegas City Schools board member Ricky Serna nominated Ernesto Salazar to his position on the board during a special work session earlier this evening.
Serna's resignation from the school board becomes effective tomorrow, Sept. 16 - just several months after his election to the board.
Other interested applicants announced during the Thursday evening meeting are: Christopher M. "Chris" Torres and Sean Medrano. They both expressed written interest in Serna's board position.
A Las Vegas man was killed early Wednesday morning during a domestic dispute, Las Vegas police said.
Angelo Padilla, 40, died after sustaining what appear to be stab wounds, Police Chief Christian Montaño said. Padilla was pronounced dead at the home, located on the 200 block of Commerce, near the Interstate.
Shirley Griego, the woman who police said killed Padilla, sustained injuries that required medical treatment, Montaño said. He did not know how old
Griego is, nor the spelling of her first name.
A renovation of city public housing units on Church Street and New Mexico Avenue is aimed at increasing curb appeal of the duplexes, but a mixup with the contractor put the residents safety at risk, city Housing Director Robert Pacheco acknowledged during a public meeting on Tuesday.
Sidewalks were torn out, brick was pulled off the facade and windows remain covered with plastic.
Wendy Armijo, Leonore Encinias and Gina Marie Medina are on a mission to battle DWIs in San Miguel County.
The three work for the DWI County Program, a prevention, educational and compliance program designed to combat problem drinking here. They strive to educate everyone from young children to DWI offenders.
"One of the goals is to teach children at a young age how to make good decisions," Medina said. "Once they learn to make good decisions we hope it continues onto adulthood."
The San Miguel County Commission has directed staff to develop a bicyclist safety ordinance.
Details are still being worked out, but, if enacted, the ordinance would likely require motorists to allow a right-of-way of at least five feet for bicyclists along county roads. The ordinance would likely apply only on county roads that are wide enough to accommodate it.
In 1911
September 14 — Restriction of the number of saloons within the limits of the city is the provision of an ordinance introduced at the regular meeting of the city council last night by Alderman Raynolds. The measure was read and discussed and action upon it was withheld until the next regular meeting. The ordinance provides that the number of saloons shall not be increased until it can be shown by a government or special census that the population of East Las Vegas has increased to 4,000... At present there are but six places in the city where liquor is dispensed over a bar.

Football Granger's Lynch PP&K national champion
Truth Staff
Kristina Lynch is once again at National Football League Punt Pass & Kick national champion.
Two years after reigning in the girls 10-11 age division as an 11-year-old, the 13-year-old Lynch won the 12-13 girls title Saturday morning at Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
In a contest where distance and accuracy count, the Discovery Middle School seventh grader put together a total of 328 feet, 1 inch.
How about jitters?
"I kept telling myself with the amount of practice I put in, I could do it," said Lynch. "I replaced my nerves with confidence."
Lynch, representing the Indianapolis Colts, advanced through local, sectional and team levels to make the national finals.
The daughter of Granger's Greg and Diana Lynch and older sister of Ryan (11) and Brandon (7) will be among the 10 national champions — five girls and five boys — to be recognized between the third and fourth quarter of today's Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Falcons playoff game today on Fox. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.

Clsx takeaways
From LCA2016 Delegate wiki
Revision as of 18:00, 23 January 2016 by email@example.com (Talk | contribs) (→Talks)
clsXlca 2015 Takeaways
We summed up the day by sharing our take aways from the day. Turns out to be a nice summary of the day's discussions.
- Post it Thank Yous. See http://instagram.com/p/xz1NAHFGt8/
- Support - how do we support our communities? Doing this stuff is hard. Supporting the work is key.
- Communicate and Collaborate (this was echoed by others too) and soon, and often. Don't keep it to yourself. Share.
- Burnout is a thing.
- Inspired to get my community going, and will write a blog article sparked by ideas today. Culture!
- Recognition: working towards a recognition culture across, up, down and the tree.
- Types of recognition. Just ask.
- Surprise! Pleased that these conversations are happening.
- It's possible to generalise the issues.
- Recognition is important. The non-code work is hard to measure.
- We don't have to solve ALL the problems. Sometimes they solve themselves, sometimes they just stop being problems.
Code of conducts are important. We need them now. Stop procrastinating.
Understanding what other people are doing validates what we're doing too and shows how and where we can improve.
- Context Appropriate Tone
- Protecting your community - umbrella'ing
- funding, budgeting and fundraising
- community manager therapy
- docs process
- hiring
- metrics
- one off advice
- best and worst practices
- marketing
- breakouts
- sustainable handover and pipeline
- burnout, retention and recrutiment
- diversity - correct vs importance
- management
- problement people and managing them
- creating engagement leadership diversity
- succession planning
- managing conflict
- governance and politics
- lifecycle growth / wind down - detecting mission accomplished
- inductions and introductions
- how to recognise all contributions - how and feel part of the community
- making people feel safe - and flipside - people who make our communities feel unsafe
- creating a truly *global* community
- interdisciplinary skills - and working across domains
- choosing not to be offended if you have the ability to
Order of events
- Introductions
- Agenda from the room
- dot voting on topics
- Clinton Roy - diversity- and how it affects people's lives, and the difference it can make
- SUz - diversity within the fab lab - think about poeple who have been excluded on the basis of difference - who have been excluded from the school system. Peopole who are unemployable - people need time and patience to help them become useful.
- Tridge - project leaders as umbrellas. Came about linuxcare auslabs joined IBM, Hugh Blemings was the manager withi the group - part of his job was to act as an umbrella - to protect the geeks. In some communities, discussing all this stuff up front is good, but in others this can be a barrier because they don't want to have to think about all the peripheral stuff - they just want to code and send packets. A lot of communities the project leader bears the brunt of this stuff - ie leader as an umbrella.
- Victoria - human being - until I was welcomed into the group I was an outsider, and Donna welcomed me. This is all about welcoming and introduction. How do you know what to do? Do people want to be welcomed? You have to ask your community. What is the right welcome for your commuity? They will know how to raise issues, they will feel safe, because it is part of the welcoming practice. You need to tell people how to get involved. Talk to your people - find a way to speak to them individually.
- Donna additional: code of conduct, this is where it is, EULA - this is where the rules of engagement are.
- Darrell - changing funding paradigms. How groups maintain funding. In AU now, small groups are being defunded because they are seen as not effective. But the small groups are effective - but you're not seen as effective if you don't make a profit - so there is a pressure to make a profit. As one example Lifeline is now spending their time running a book fair, and selling solar energy and coffee so that they can be sustainable financially. The issue is though that the people who call Lifeline now are put on hold, because Lifeline cannot take all their calls - because they are busy selling books and coffee. Is this the right way for non-profits to work? We have non-profits because we've found that some services are best run by non-profits because those services are not seen as valuable by government, which is validated by conversations by politicians. Services are increasingly user-pays - particularly for social servies, and this is where AUstralia's social services are headed. This is a call to action to revers ethe trend.
- Joshua Hesketh - succession planning is very important for the strength and helath of the organisation. Josh is tryin to encourage the pipline for Linux Aus council. If you'r einvolvedin the community, how do you want to be involved in the future of the community. Part of this picture ismentoring - ie having someone come in at a junior level and mentoring them up. If you're burning all your members out, maybe you *should* shut down.
- Adam - learnings from dealing with problem behaviours at MakeHakeVoid. Paassive aggression was our first step, and it was a mistake. Then, engagement turned to the mailing list. Engagement with the problem behavoiur using the medium they were using for the problem behaiour didn't work either. Instead, a safe space was created for a converation, and a trusted friend was present, and the conversation directly addressed the problem behaivours. Unfortunately the mailing behaviours moved into the person to person space. His behavioru contributed to the burnout of others, so we tried to address it. We tried to established new rules and behaviours. We found we were stacking rules upon rules and it was unsustainable. We realised that the community that he wanted wasn't the comunity we wanted. The person needed structure and predictability, whereas the Hackerspace needed more flexibility. This was met with threatening behaviour from the person, and legal action. The next stage was a thrid party mediator. The parties wanted different things from the mediation process and was less than successful. Finally an email was sent where the person was excluded from attended. The lesson is that sometimes excluding someone *is* the right decision. Unfortunately the person is also on another local group in the area and I'm now in conversations with the leader of the other group about the person's behaviour.

Fellow senior Chris Martinez swept her competition at No. 3 singles, against Montana State she knocked off Ivette Duran 6-0, 6-1 and defeated Gonzaga's Kendall Bates 6-0, 6-1.
Sophomore Amy Toth isn't too far behind Burduli with dual match singles victories, Toth grabbed one win to give her 12 since dual match play began. Toth soared past Gonzaga's Sirrah Williams 6-0, 6-3 to grab win number 18 on the season.
Sallai and freshman Aleksandra Stefanova were the two Cougar players who won both of their singles and doubles matches. Stefanova , at the No. 5 position, defeated Montana State's Allison Fey 6-1, 6-2 and moved on to knock off Erin Humphrey of Gonzaga 6-2, 6-2.
Fellow freshman Kara Konomos went 1-1 on the day, she posted a victory against Bobcat Laura Richert 6-1, 6-2 and then was put down by Sydney Lederhouse of Gonzaga 6-2, 6-1.
The Cougar freshman combined to go 5-1 in singles competition at the 1, 5 and 6 spots, respectively.
"I'm proud of the confidence and composure we had in our matches today," Washington State head coach Lisa Hart said. "We are looking forward to preparing for our remaining conference matches these next couple of weeks."

Triple Gemini? Natalie Portman, Benjamin Millepied & New Son Share Sign!Sunny Chanel
Natalie Portman, Benjamin Millepied and their new son all share something else besides just being family. Each one of them – Natalie, Benjamin and their brand new baby boy all were born under the same sign!
Sure, Gemini usually refers to twins, but this time there are three. And their birthdates are all very close:
Natalie Portman was born June 9th, 1981
Benjamin Millepied was born June 10th, 1977
and their new son was born on June 14th. (although there has been no official announcement of the exact date but that is when the news broke.)
Gemini's are said to be "highly adaptable and versatile, has great communication skills, intellectual, and youthful in appearance" as well as "witty, eloquent conversationalists, which seem to draw other people to them." But "their fly by night attitude does not allow Geminis to become very dependable."
And this months horoscope? It says for Gemini, "You could find yourself suddenly, totally intrigued by the idea of helping others on the 12th and 13th. Follow that impulse and see where it leads!" I bet Natalie and Benjamin will do just that!
Congrats, Benjamin and Natalie– Check out more of this year's First Time Celeb Fathers!

Is what i was told by the ENT i saw Monday.He said that there is NO CURE for Tinnitus if there was they would be out of bussiness.He said that i was to a point that an ENT could not help me that i need to go a step up and see a Neurotologist. so I asked if inflamtion would be affecting my ear and making the tones go up.He said there is no way they can physical see if there is inflamiton that bascially the systoms the patient has is what gives them the somewhat ability to know what the problem is. I would like to add that the hearing test made my bad ear worse. Does anyone have nerve damage and if so do you know if there is a cure?

I suffer from nerve damage or a neuropathy. I have my belief that my tinnitus and tinnitus in general is caused by nerve damage. There is no cure for nerve damage that I know of. I am getting relief from MrT with 5-HTP and a Super B vitamin. Because of my neuropathy sometimes I have to knock myself out at night with codiene. I have found that meditation helps a great deal as well as just keeping busy. I know that my brother(oldest one) has had tinnitus for a very long time. I dont believe his is as loud as mine. I am into my second year with it.

Hi Ledli, interesting. Thanks for posting the info and update on your condition.
I don't understand what kind of nerve damage you mean, though. Nerve damage requires some kind of cause.
What nerve(s) have you damaged and what damaged them?
Or did the ENT just say "uh.. nerve damage is the cause" and that was it?

What type of nerve damage and neuropathy do you have, Pat?
|View More Posts Ignore
Somewhere around the year 2000 I got really ill and my body started to shut down. Unfortunately in Eugene, Or the doctors her really stink and couldnt tell me what I had. I ended up pretty much bedridden for 3 months. We thought it might be MS but the doctors thought it was guillan barre like(not ms). I had all the tests but nothing. Finally I started to get better, But the illness had eaten the lining off of my nerves. Things would go numb for no reason what so ever at one point completely lost use of my left pinky(which doesnt help when you play guitar). Everytime I would see a neurologist they would run the expensive tests and tell me yep you have a neuropathy, but theres nothing we can do, cept bill you and offer you drugs.Now most nights when I lay down to sleep my left arm will begin to hurt and the longer I lay down the more it hurts till I get up for awhile. If I want to go right to sleep I need to tale the codiene. Its my wifes codiene(from an old prescription) and I only take a small amount(1/4 of a pill) but I am down to my last dose and dont know what I will do to get more.

Ledliyl, this post is long winded but please read it to the end as if may help. I was told by my ENT that I have nerve damage but he didn't go into detail. He told me it takes a long time to heal which I know to be true due to nerve damage I experienced to my left hand. He also told me that even though it may heal, it will never be the same again. To be honest, until the medical geniuses find a cure, your ENT may be correct in that there's nothing he can do. They typically say something to the effect of go home and live with it; that's what mine said. Although I know my tinnitus will never go away (unless somebody finds a cure), I do maintain the hope of helping it quiet down a bit.
For me personally, I say "personally" because we're all different, I try to stay off prescription meds and go natural as much as possible. Although I have no hopes of the nerve damage being completely cured, I do have the hope of it healing to a point where the sound is more tolerable and easier to habituate to. So in search of something to help my body heal the nerve damage, below is what I've tried that hasn't worked and what I'm currently trying that seems to be working:
What has not worked for me:
• T-Gone (snake oil) in my worst moments --
didn't help.
• All the vitamins that are supposed to
help -- didn't help.
• A lot of the herbal supplements that are
supposed to help – didn't help.
• Cutting back on caffeine, salt, etc. –
didn't help.
• Acupuncture – I was told by the
acupuncturist if I didn't notice a
difference within 6 treatments it probably
wouldn't work. Although it didn't help
with the tinnitus, it did help me to relax
which is very important when trying to
cope with it. After 6 treatments (2 per
week) the noise was as loud as ever so I
stopped. In conjunction with the
treatment, the acupuncturist also included
her own herbal concoction which I felt
just made my tinnitus worse.
What is/has worked:
• Education about the affliction. Knowing
what Tinnitus is and advice on how to cope
has helped me deal with it better.
• Daily Strength, RNID and other tinnitus
forums have help immensely by reading the
experience of others and following their
• By the end of the day, I would be
exhausted from struggling to keep both my
emotions and anxiety under control. St.
John's Wort helped immensely for that.
For some, I've heard the 5-HTP supplement
works where St. John's Wort does not.
What seems to be working today:
Vitamins are touted over and over again to help with tinnitus. The problem is the body is only able to absorb a small amount of what's taken in pill form. I stopped taking St. John's Wort, packed up all my vitamins/supplements, etc. and started taking Spirulina and Chlorella which is classified as a superfood micro-algae. It's known for its many benefits which include helping to rebuild nerve tissue. Since it's a natural source of vitamins, protein and much more, the body is able to absorb the nutrients more efficiently and in greater amounts. The jury's still out as I've only been taking it for about two weeks now, but so far I'm pretty sure it has helped with both my hyperacusis and the loudness of my T. For the first time since last August, I've had 7+ days of less sound and am finally better able to cope with noise. I believe the pitch has dropped some as well but I can't verify that. I take the recommended maintenance, a 2:1 ratio of Spirulina (5 grams twice a day) and Chlorella (2.5 grams twice a day) keeping in mind it's a food. It has given me a huge boost in energy and has greatly improved my frame-of-mind which may be a big part of the change I'm experiencing which includes finally starting to habituate to my tinnitus. The only side affect I'm aware of is it turns your poo green :-). The bottom line is it seems to be helping. Below are two links on these two superfoods:
I got the link below off RNID. I thought you'd find it helpful if you want to track the pitch of your T:
Tuesday (4/28), I started taking Vinpocetine (recommended dosage of 10mg 3 times a day) as it's known to help with both tinnitus and nerve damage. Vinpocetine seems to be close to Ginkgo but I decided to give Vinpocetine a try as the Ginkgo I was taking for about two months was making my tinnitus louder. I know this to be true as the sound dropped within four days after I stopped taking it and it remained lower for more than a few days. Plus, as an added bonus Vinpocetine seems to help with healing nerve damage. I have provided two links on Vinpocetine:
So in the hopes of helping my body heal the nerve damage and quiet down my T a bit I'm taking the superfood Spirulina, Chlorella and the supplement Vinpocetine. I don't know about the Vinpocetine yet, but the micro-algae really does seem to be helping. For me anyway.
I hope this helps. God bless.

The "cure" word gets thrown areound a lot. I will love to hear of one, but substantial relief would be just as good to me. I lived with tinnitus for a year and a half and it didnt bother me until january of this yr when I was playing a gig. Yes a cure would be great but it's not at all nessisary, at lease not for me if I can get relief from some basic changes or treatments. My ENT was one of the biggest jack @$$ Ive ever met and was absolutley no help. They must teach them that in "ear" school. lol

I couldn't agree with you more "lowedt". It would be nice to cut through the ?#$% and determine what may offer at least some relief without detrimental side effects.
As for your ENT, you must of had the same one I had. In the 5 minutes that I saw him, he states "You have tinnutus, there is no cure and learn to live with it". I ask him a question or two and he states while looking at his watch, "I don't have time to answer your questions make another appointment".
No additional appointment was made. I'm learning to suffer with it and make the best of it.

Snow I beleive he was referring to the ear apparently he came to that conclusion b/c of my hearing problem.I told him i had all the test done too.He said that the symtoms of the patient is bascially what tells them alot.He said if someone has vertigo,ringing ears,fullness in the ear all those are indicators of meneries.He looked in my ears and said it looked good,but as for the inside they cant see.He said that maybe the neuro will have some kind of technology that could help me.So im hoping that the neuro will at least tell me why does the tone im my ear goes up when i strecth,yawn or when i go to get up from laying down.The valuim supresses it.I hope the neuro can also telll me if the vestibular is okay or what. I see him on the June the 8th and i will post what he says but im not going to say what the ENT said about the nerve damage i want to see what conclusion he comes up with.Whenever i see a different doctor i never tell him what the other thinks or says. b/c they will take that and run with it and you never get anywhere.Sometimes they specialize in one thing but have different training or sometimes that one doc has had a patient with the same thing and knows what to do but some docs have never seen certain things in patients and instead of helping them they just send them home to live with it.
Seattleite I have treid accpunture,herbal,cutting back on salt and caffiene.I have seen diffent ENT,Saw the the TOP specialist he said up your xnax and see a shrink.This last ENT saod see a neuro so while i still have insurnace im going to go
education about the affiction does help alot. I feel that i could take the exam to be a ENT and pass with flying colors.I have done so much research and study the ear. I have read about the spirulina and chlorella.I will probaly give those a try I have nothing to lose and something to gain if it works for me.Thanks for the links
The vinpocetine gave me real bad head pain that tylenol didnt take away and that is that i was taking a lose dose of it wont do that again.The Ginkgo make me have loud roaring cant do that one either.The TRT made my hypercusis worse so did the hearing test i had done.thanks for the information.
Darkson the 5-HTP helps you with your T?

Attester I guess i was lucky b/c i had about 6 questions to ask my ENT and he answered them all.He even explained on the ear chart they have in the office.I have been to some other ENT and had a bad experience.I just hope the neuro im going to see is not a ?#$% I hope he has the patient to treat me like a human being and not like cattle in and out.

Pat, sorry to hear that. There is worse but neuropathy can be especially frustrating. Almost as frustrating as your body shutting down leaving you in bed for 3 months without any clear reason. Glad to hear you made it through the spell even if it meant a little wear on the nerves. The left pinky thing is especially odd. The mind and body are nothing if not a mystery at times, and the truth is there is rarely enough money and/or available expertise to address it effectively when timing is so key. Not always the docs fault, most of them are just as helpless as we are, but they need to pay for their rent just like us.
it sounds like Ledli's ENT was referring to general auditory nerve damage which is as general, catch all, guess-diagnosis as they come. You could pretty much tell anyone with tinnitus "you have nerve damage" and be partially accurate. That's what sound damage is --damage to the auditory nerve

Posted on June 30th, 2011
Google have at last released details on their new Google + project which aims to make Google more social and it appears trying taking on Facebook at its own game.
There are multiple parts to the new plus project, dealing with every element of our "social" daily lives, below is a breakdown of what to expect.Google Circles
The first part of the project is called Google Circles, which is aimed at creating different social circles from your Google contacts. The idea behind this is that we interact differently with people depending on the type of relationship we have with them, for example you would talk and interact with your boss differently to the way you would with your friends down the pub.
By creating different "circles" you can then interact with these circles separately, sharing photos from your night out drinking with just your friends and not your boss or in-laws! Although this is not any different to Facebook's groups it looks like a more interactive method than the Facebook way.
Google Sparks looks to provide the user specialised news & content feeds based on your interests. You simply search for something that "sparks" your desires & interests and you are provided with a list of traditional & media results. You will also be able to see what is "sparking" other people's interests around the world (possibly via your circles also?) within a featured interests area.
Google Hangouts is Google's attempt to implement an online video version of hanging out down the shops or at the park with your mates. Hangouts lets you inform people in your circles that you are "hanging out" and therefore are available to chat, the idea being that your friends will virtually drop in for a chat. The system will support multi person video which means a whole group of friends can potentially catch up face to face from the comfort of their own home.
Google Mobile is starting off with a small collection of cool mobile phone functions.
The first one called Google Location will allow you as a user to add your location to every post you make (exactly like Facebook's places). This will be an opt in or out feature meaning those who are concerned about privacy need not worry.
The second function which is again opt in or out is called Google Instant Upload. Instant Upload is aimed at making sure all of your mobile phone photos are backed up online and are available to share at anytime. When taking a photo on your phone the picture will be automatically uploaded to a private album on Google's cloud server ready to be shared with your friends.
It is not clear yet whether this will also be the case for mobile video clips but this is one part of Google+ I can see being a huge success.
Finally Google Huddle is a group messaging service allowing you to co-ordinate with a circle of friends making sure everyone is in the loop.
Google+ is currently available on the Adroid Market and mobile web with it coming to the App Store soon.

Supernatural Watch: Season 9, Episode 20 - Bloodlines
By Josh Raymer 2 years ago comments
For the second straight week the Winchesters were relegated to second fiddle and an episode struggled as a result. Last week it was Sheriff Jodys turn to be the focal point of a vampire family story. This week we were treated to the backdoor pilot for Supernatural: Bloodlines and introduced to approximately 17 characters that were called by name far too often within a 42-minute span. At this point in the season it was frustrating to see another hour wasted on an episode that had no bearing on the shows big story arcs. I dont care about setting up a spinoff (well get to that in a second) when Im watching a season of Supernatural wind down. I want what Arrow gave viewers last week with its third-to-last episode: an incredible hour of television that was one of the shows absolute best, one that jumpstarted the finale way ahead of schedule. Now with only three episodes remaining, I fear the writers will try to cram too much resolution and setup for next season into a little over two hours of actual running time. If this ends up happening, Im going to hate-watch Bloodlines with far more hatred than I would have otherwise.
Lets start with the best part of this backdoor pilot: Chicago. Seriously, I love the Windy City, and it was such a nice change to see Sam and Dean in a recognizable metropolis rather than some unknown Canadian town posing as a dot on the American map. I hope the showrunners take time to explore the city and make it as authentic as possible. The second best part of this pilot was Lucien Laviscount, the actor playing Ennis. His character was poorly written in this episode (see Line of the Week below) and the reason he got pulled into the monster world was half-baked (quarter-baked?) at best. We only spent a few minutes with Ennis and his girlfriend and the time we got wasnt enough to sell me on her as anything more than a lazy plot device. For crying out loud, Ennis was going to propose to this girl and SHE GOT MURDERED! You know what wouldve happened if my wife had been murdered before she could answer my marriage proposal? Infinite amounts of sobbing, depression, and gaining 50 pounds of sadness weight, thats what. Ennis only cried over the death of his almost fiancée when she died in a way which honestly shouldnt have given her more than a mild concussion. Alas.
More DOA than Ennis girlfriend was the writing in this episode. Dear Lord it was abysmal. I was tuned out halfway through and I can give you five lines that tell me everything I need to know about the writing on this new show: 1) Margos elbow line 2) Davids we shift our shape" line 3) Davids laugh track line 4) Davids blondes have all the fun line 5) Ennis monologue (see below). Sensing a pattern here? David was a train wreck in this episode, which is a shame because I can see that his character has potential. I was much more interested in Julian, played by Never Back Down star Sean Faris. His scene with Violet showed how rotten he is and I like that hes already trying to cut deals with other families to amass power in his war against the shape shifters. Why couldnt we have spent more time with him? Instead we got David and his cache of clichés. Typically this could be explained with the old every pilot has its problem adage. We all remember the Supernatural pilot, correct? That first hour grabbed me like no other show Ive ever watched. The writing was snappy and fun. I loved the characters. A show built around Ennis and David has a long way to go to be in the same zip code as the Winchesters.
Im also unsure why the writers chose a lame human villain for the backdoor pilot. What a wasted opportunity to dive right into the conflict between the monster families. Instead we got yet another hostage situation where the victim breaks free and is saved, only this time instead of Sam or Dean, it was David and Violet and the two tons of cheese their relationship injects into any scene. If youre reading this recap, comment below with the approach this pilot could have used that would have hooked you. Is a Freddy Krueger impostor anywhere near the top of your list? Are you like me and would have preferred some family feuds to start things off? Perhaps Sam and Dean needing to be saved by Ennis? Let me know. Maybe we can all get jobs on the Bloodlines writing staff. Im sure theyre not hiring but they should be after this performance.
I wish Supernatural: Bloodlines the best of luck. With Supernatural in its final years, the CW needs a show to fill the void its impending departure will create. Im just not sure Bloodlines is that show. To me it has The Vampire Diaries written all over it. (If youre wondering why vampires arent one of the five ruling families, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals are why. Dont buy that crap about vampires being down and dirty people like truckers and bikers.) Nothing can replace the lightning-in-a-bottle pairing of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki that has sustained Supernatural for almost nine full seasons. Nothing should replace those two characters. But solid writing and a better pilot would be a nice start. Pilot episodes dont have to stick the landing perfectly. But they cant crash and burn, either.
Someone call the Chicago Fire Department
Line of the week
But I couldnt walk away. This is my fight now. Hell, its a damn war. And I gotta start somewhere. Ennis (Seriously just gouge out my eyes at this point)
Next week on Supernatural
Way too much will happen in 42 minutes. Thanks filler episodes.

I have .xsd file i need to convert it into wsdl,how would i do so?and is this conversion the right approach. I have request and response data in same .xsd file
You can not do that so easily. Usually, the
I don't see how a tool could "reconstruct" the operations out of only the xsd only, except if it uses naming convention. E.g. messages
Manually creating the wsdl shouldn't be too long.
Have a look at WSDL essentials to get the general structure of the wsdl.
Or you can give a try to the tool WSDL Generator (from http://www.theprogrammerfactory.com/) whose purpose is apparently to ease this task. (Note that I never used it).
Another approach would be to generate classes out of the xsd, then use them to define the service class manually (this is the tedious part of matching types together into the corresponding operation) and then use another tool to transform the service class back into a complete wsdl. There are various tools available to convert to/from xsd and wsdl, for both Java or C#: wsgen, wsimport, xsd.exe, wsdl.exe.

Grey Cup 100 Tour coming to Wilfrid Laurier
WATERLOO, Ont. (October 31, 2012) - This year marks an important milestone for the Canadian Football League - the celebration of the 100th Grey Cup which will be played on November 25, 2012.
There is no other all-Canadian annual professional sporting championship in existence, let alone one that has been awarded 100 times. This year-long celebration is a unique opportunity to celebrate our Cup, our Country, and the tremendous bond between them.
The trophy which has inspired so many pilgrimages will embark on its own proud journey this year. It will visit 100 communities, inspire the telling of thousands of stories about football and friendship, and touch millions of Canadians.
The Grey Cup 100 Train Tour, presented by RONA, is an epic 4,100 kilometre journey that will carry the Grey Cup trophy to communities across Canada in celebration of this year's 100th Grey Cup.
The tour, mostly by train, will ultimately visit more than 100 communities across Canada before delivering the Grey Cup, in late November, to Toronto for the 100th Grey Cup game and festival. The Grey Cup will be transported by road to other cities and towns not directly accessible by rail, visiting schools, hospitals and community centres.
The Grey Cup is visiting Wilfrid Laurier University on Tuesday, November 6 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the concourse of the Fred Nichols Campus Centre. Members of the Laurier football team as well as TSN's Kate McKenna will be on hand at the event.
About the Canadian Football League
The Canadian Football League is our league. The Grey Cup is our national championship and Canada's largest annual single sporting event. We are proudly preparing for the 100th Grey Cup in 2012. The celebration will span the country and culminate in a tremendous festival and game in Toronto this November. We invite all Canadians to be a part of it.

Football: AL Brown at North Meck
Kickoff: 7 p.m. Kannapolis Brown (2-2) at North Mecklenburg (1-3). Last meeting: Kannapolis Brown won 40-16 last year. Players to watch: Brown – RB Sandon McCoy, RB Jayln Cagle, WR Casey Walker; North Meck – QB Nolan Beasley, WR Ledante Daniels, RB Corey Patton. THE SKINNY: This is the MECKA 4A conference opener for both teams. North Meck has a one-point loss and a seven-point loss, so their record is a bit deceiving. Last week, Beasley passed for 346 yards and four touchdowns. Daniels caught eight passes for 199 yards and two scores.

At the closing awards ceremony of the 48th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Janos Szasz's "Le Grand Cahier" (Hungary) took the top prize, the Crystal Globe, which comes with $25,000 to be split by director and producer (Sandor Soth). The film also earned the Europa Cinemas Label. (Full list of winners below.)
Based on Agota Kristof's award-winning World War II novel "The Notebook," "Le Grand Cahier" is about 13-year-old twins who go to live with their grandmother during the war. The first feature backed by the new Hungarian Film Fund, "Le Grand Cahier" is co-produced with Austria's Amour Fou, France's Dolce Vita, Germany's Intuit and Hungary's Hunnia Film Studio.

"There has always been a tension that haunted me way before Vietnam. My mother; my father; life itself, all my life. All these tensions will not allow me to let this award – or any this or any others – to stop me looking for the next undiscovered land. I was born an explorer and when I cease exploring I will die. In that spirit I will say do not cease being out there young dreamers that exploration of yourselves. You will meet again and again deceit. But the next time out you will win this battle. Persist. The world Is always in need of regeneration and – filmmakers amongst others – can combine that somewhere out in this crowd. So if you can you, or several of you, can truly contribute to this world."

The events that transpired during a recent commissioners court meeting has Roy Galvan defending not only his selection for the veterans affairs officer, but his process of selection.
"The legality of the committee format was not questioned until after the interviews were completed," Galvan told the county leaders during their meeting Friday morning. "Unfortunately, the applicant that Commissioner Eloy Rodriguez and the local veterans group wanted was not selected."
Commissioner Dennis DeWitt, who was on the committee, voiced concern about this meeting and the Monday, Oct. 14, meeting when accusations of favoritism were made.
"In my opinion we are in the process of creating a hostile work environment for the community affairs director. There is a hint of retaliation in this process," DeWitt said.
Rodriguez responded, "There is no retaliation involved. We were just not familiar with what happened and I wanted to bring up some facts that were not done correctly.
"That was my intent. No more. No less."
Galvan, who himself previously served as veterans affairs officer before his promotion to community affairs director, reminded the court that two of its members were on the hiring committee — including the commissioner who had called for the questioning.
This discussion would usually have been held behind closed doors; however, after the events of Monday's court meeting, Galvan made the request that it be held in front of the public.
Judge David Silva read, "I, Rogerio Roy Galvan, have requested an open meeting to defend my decision of hiring Ralph Anthony Ferguson as the new veterans service officer."
Rodriguez, who made the request to discuss the community affairs position, said that the feelings of the veterans organizations were not considered during the hiring process.
Galvan disputed this claim.
"The letter of recommendation by local veterans organizations was considered, until I asked for a reference of the applicant from one of the persons whose name was on the recommendation.
"The person was not aware of the letter, nor did they know who was being recommended, in fact, they did not know the person."
Rodriguez said, "Armando Musquez had talked to the four leaders of the veterans service organizations. They had all agreed to support that candidate.
"They knew they had supported this candidate. They did not know about the letter."
Galvan said that he felt the county was being pressured to hire the person the veterans organizations wanted — not the best person for the job.
"Honorable Judge and Commissioners, I feel that the local veterans organizations are not just recommending their best candidate, they are demanding who to hire."
Rodriguez said, "They were not demanding, they were recommending a particular person going by what that particular gentleman has accomplished and done for the veterans already on a volunteer basis."
Also called into question, was that the decision of who to hire was made by Galvan and not the court — as Rodriguez said should have been done.
"After we finished interviewing all of the applicants, I stated we were merely the interview committee but the final decision was going to be made by the commissioners court.
"I mentioned that to all of the applicants. Not once was I told that was not the way it is going to be.
"Why did you not tell the applicants that is not the way it is going to be done?"
When questioned, both Galvan and DeWitt said, "I don't remember that, sir."
Rodriguez responded, "Well, I said it.
"I wish we would have kept records of it. All five of the applicants would probably tell you the same thing."
Rodriguez also questioned whether Galvan had initially asked Ferguson to apply for the position.
"Did you approach Mr. Ferguson to apply for this position?"
Galvan said that he told Ferguson of the position when he came in to fill out paperwork, as he would any veteran who asked about it.
"You are taking my words out of context," Galvan said.
Rodriguez, who said that Ferguson told him a different version of the event, responded, "He told me. I was there. He said it in front of me. I am not taking anything out of context."
Rodriguez said he felt that the entire hiring process was tainted.
"Two of the applicants, one in particular, has been involved with the veterans organizations," Rodriguez said.
"He is very familiar with all of the forms and processes.
"(Ferguson) has never appeared at any of the veterans meeting.
"He has never lifted a finger to assist any of the local veterans as have two of the gentlemen.
"If this interview was being conducted by an independent board, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the candidate that was selected would not have been in the top two."
Rodriguez said that even as a committee they did not discuss the candidates.
"We did not discuss the pluses and minuses of each candidate," he said.
"That gave me the impression that it was already known who you were going to hire.
"I told you I felt this was already a done deal and I was pretty upset.
"I came back and I was still upset.
"I came back and told you and Mr. DeWitt that the wrong candidate was selected."
Something not known at the time of the hiring was that it is the court's responsibility to hire the veterans officer and not the responsibility of the overseeing department head. That is spelled out in state statute.
Silva, in response to this news, said, "We might have erred but it wasn't intentional.
"By not even knowing that statute was there, we did the right thing.
"It is not right for Mr. Ferguson to be hanging out there.
"Mr. Ferguson is not hired at this point.
"We have gone through the whole process. A selection was made.
"A selection was presented and a job offer was presented and accepted and Mr. Ferguson has worked for a week."
Ultimately, during that past Monday's court meeting, commissioners could not get a majority vote to formally hire Ferguson so his employment was canceled.

Make It Real
Tonight it's been a year
we met each other here
Here I am all alone
as thoughts of you go on
Hear me cryin' out to you
you said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
and maybe it will make you hear me
I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real
In a dream you are here
You smile and hold me near
And in my heart I'll pretend
that you are hear again
Hear me cryin' out to you
You said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
and maybe it will make you hear me
Give me one more chance to
Make it real

Monsanto Named a Great Place to Work While Making the Earth a Terrible Place to Live
There is something truly rotten about Monsanto.
The bio tech agricultural giant has been named #12 in the "prestigious" World's Best Multinational Workplaces by Great Place to Work. A dubious award, considering this innocent Google search:
Evil, bad, unethical, and harmful. Sounds like a really great place to work, huh? More on that in a minute, but let's discuss the merit of this particular award first.
Great Places to Work is a San Francisco-based research and consulting firm that decided three years ago to begin naming the best places in the world to work. The criteria is based on workplace culture, and companies can only be eligible for the list if they have at least 5,500 employees—40 percent of which must work outside the company's home country.
These accolades, bestowed upon 25 companies, aren't based on ethics, fair business practices, or community service—they are survey-based and reflect the feelings of millions of employees from thousands of different companies. All of Monsanto's happy employees might frown if they knew about the evil practices of their employer. The fact that McDonald's—the fast food chain that basically admitted their full-time employees couldn't survive on their wages—made this list even more suspect.
In short, Monsanto has not won a humanitarian or global stewardship award, and probably never will.

Guest Post: The Biggest Conflict Of Interest In Finance?
Submitted by John Aziz of Azizonomics
The Biggest Conflict Of Interest In Finance?
Maybe this is a naive question, but as Goldman clients get skinned again and again and again and again and again by Goldman's failed calls — while Goldman itself continues to rack up prop trading profits — I keep wondering just why anyone would take investment advice from a trading firm?
And beyond that, why is it even legal for trading firms to advise clients? Isn't this the biggest conflict of interest possible? We know firms including Goldman have advised clients to buy junk that the trading arm wants to get off its books.
A few months back former Goldmanite Greg Smith wrote:
What are three quick ways to become a leader at Goldman?
a) Persuading your clients to invest in the stocks or other products that we are trying to get rid of because they are not seen as having a lot of potential profit.
b) Get your clients — some of whom are sophisticated, and some of whom aren't — to trade whatever will bring the biggest profit to Goldman. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't like selling my clients a product that is wrong for them.
c) Find yourself sitting in a seat where your job is to trade any illiquid, opaque product with a three-letter acronym.
It makes me ill how callously people talk about ripping their clients off. Over the last 12 months I have seen five different managing directors refer to their own clients as "muppets," sometimes over internal e-mail. Even after the S.E.C., Fabulous Fab, Abacus, God's work, Carl Levin, Vampire Squids? No humility? I mean, come on. Integrity? It is eroding. I don't know of any illegal behavior, but will people push the envelope and pitch lucrative and complicated products to clients even if they are not the simplest investments or the ones most directly aligned with the client's goals? Absolutely. Every day, in fact.
How is intentionally misleading clients to offload junk not illegal? Is this not a huge regulatory oversight? And why — when there is ample evidence that this has happened before and continues to happen — are so few people talking about making it illegal?
And beyond that is it not blazingly obvious that the supermarket megabank model that puts clients' interests under a single roof with the banks own trading book breeds fraud? Should there not be a new Glass Steagall not only to separate retail from investment banking, but also to separate prop trading from flow trading?
Or are we going to leave the world to the vampire squid?
- advertisements -
Aziz: this "How is intentionally misleading clients to offload junk not illegal?" has been covered to death. It IS just as illegal as money laundering is and yet the fines and penalties are less than negligible.
When you employ the clowns who write the laws, you don't have to worry about "legal"
Yeah, I bet Corzine is just shitting himself after reading the Sentinel ruling.
Greg Smith's points a, b, and c are identical to those employed by the pump and dumpers at the ficticious firm "J.T. Marlin" in "Boiler Room."
Just doing God's work...
"NotApplicable Yeah, I bet Corzine is just shitting himself after reading the Sentinel ruling"
Jamie Dimon too the Sentinel ruling gives new meaning to laughing all the way to the bank
Legality of MF Global Asset Transfer to JP Morgan Questioned
Is Freeh looking out for MF Global customers?
And provide the regulators for your "business".
The shearing of the sheep continues only until there are no sheep to shear.
Goldman produce nothing, make nothing and are a waste of oxygen.
Even the Name is a lie
I like what goldman does it provides a trading strategy for me, that is almost fool proof
And you'll wake up one day and find out that "your account" really isn't yours, but rather, actually belongs to whoever took out your broker.
Sleep well! (You're gonna need a good night's sleep when that day comes)
and don't forget if you deposit your money in a bank the 1st call on your money if the bank erupts are derivative fraudsters
it's magic ....no it's Da Law ...all praise Govt and the Justice system
There hasn't been a "justice" system for some time - it's just the legal system now, get with the program man.
*and a good lawyer will tell you so.
He didn't say he did business with squiddly; he said they provided him a trading strategy. He could just be fading Stolper.
Even so, one must point out what happened to MFGlobal customers.
How do we make sense of this? Goldman Sachs emails call their own investments "junk" and "crap," and Goldman Sachs salespeople refer to clients as "muppets" and "elephants."
John, why are you engaging the facade as if it's reality?
There is no conflict of interest here that isn't imagined as a "should" or an "ought." Reality, meanwhile clearly displays a criminal cartel that has it's "tentacles" reaching into ALL facets of modern life.
Oh, and those "laws" you're going on about? Well, who made them, again?
Who stands to halt the control of the banks? Nobody.
it's down to where it should be at anyways
...the individual
...i'm referring to that old fashioned system we've long forgotten since we handed (shirked?) all our responsibilities to 3rd parties (Govt) to look out for us and simply walking out this rotten monopoly money banking system with your lolly
Hell if we all did it guess what, 'Game Over' for the likes of Goldmans and JPM ...this shit goes on as long as we allow it
this shit goes on as long as we allow it
Yes. So long as we obey them and stay inside their game, we are the Muppets.
...i'm referring to that old fashioned system we've long forgotten since we handed (shirked?) all our responsibilities to 3rd parties (Govt)
Ah the olden days, back when people were free and individualism ruled all!
Did this time period ever exist? No, but who cares.

master blaster runs barter town
Since i have been uncovered by the puppet masters, here is my former trading system :
The week before the big treasury auction, short on Thursday or Friday, go long the next Wednesday. It was a gambling system borne out of the POMOs of yore. That is all.
Smells like bucket shop to me
"We know firms including Goldman have advised clients to buy junk that the trading arm wants to get off its books."
Get a clue before you write something as 'known fact': You have NO CLUE how a Goldman trading desk operates, particularly the FICC desks. Idiot writers. Go work on one of the deks and see how much freedom there is to trade. Not as much as you wish to think.
If you work at Goldman, fuck you you fucking fuck. If you don't work at Goldman, I am sorry for your incredibly pathetic nature for defending them. Actually, in both cases I am sorry for your incredibly pathetic nature. But still, fuck you.
would it be presumptuous to ask if you do know
did you forget </sarc>
They are all fucking thieves including Merril Lynch.
People are getting wise to it, but usually after it's too late.
Remember this article almost a year ago in the Telegraph: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100118071/goldman-sach...
"The new president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, Italy's new prime minister, Mario Monti, and the new Greek prime minister Lucas Papademos all reportedly have the US investment bank as a common denominator."
Just coincidence, right? lol. Just like that Mervin King and Bernanke used to share office back at MIT in the 80's. Just coincidence...

These conflicts of interest are permitted by regulation. Indeed, maintaining so-called "information barriers" in the firm and disclosing conflicts of interest in the fine print in the myriad documents that they make you sign to open an account absolves the firm of all responsibility, particularly with trading clients. As long as the firm's recommendations are suitable, your salesperson can recommend that you buy XYZ while the trading desk is busily dumping it to any and all comers.
Why do people continue to do business with these firms?
Vampire Squids Act...yeah..recommendations what it should contain..??
only looting from another banker is legal---
i don't get this post. in 1985, I was indoctronated to the once famous 55 Water Street office of Lehman Brothers. In one day, I figured out the conflict. We pumped, we dumped, we flipped, we pounded. Most of us were stock jocks back then, but hey, we were idiots! About the same time Michael Lewis wrote Liars Poker openly discussing the conflict detailed in this post.
The brokerage industry has always been willing to screw its clients AND ITS BROKERS while protecting the house. And there is no difference between Goldman, Morgan Stanley or any other major house.
one time vbone has seen a goldman call do well, but vbones have seen over 10 others do bad! not a good ratio
The money being traded via Goldman doesn't belong to the people actually making the trades, so it's more akin to a circle jerk. In a way it's like public unions who throw money at a politician who then gets elected and increase benefits of said unions. Muppets and voters be damned!
read liar's poker - is this news or editorial or either?
or for first time viewers....
I am bullish on Amerika und zink dot yoo Yenkiies r goot peeble.
Goldman's conflict of interest with respect to its clients is kindergarten stuff compared to central banks' conflicts of interest. Hell, a central bank is pretty much an institution of conflict of interest.
Goldman always wins because they own Washington and the worldwide financial markets. It ousts leaders in countries to put in place it's own people. Look at Draghi, Hank Paulson, etc.
Goldman wanted more money so over the weekend a few years back it became a bank.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
You don't smoke to be healthy. You don't eat to lose weight. You don't do business with Goldman to get rich.
Do yanks understand why much of the rest of he world refer to them as SEPOs?

Arriving in Syria
Mediterranean Expedition to the Ancient Wonders of the World
We boarded two buses for the four hour drive to Palmyra. Our guide, Adib, lacked the sophistication and easy, informative style of our Turkish guides, but he still did his best to provide an overview of Syria along the drive. Each town seemed to have numerous billboards with a picture of the Syrian president and the flag. This newly formed republic was anxious to demonstrate pride in its leaders.
I was surprised by how many women were dressed in western attire. Though the population is 75% Muslim, only about 50% of the women had their heads covered and very few wore more than simple headscarves. Most were quite fashionable with coordinated outfits that matched their scarves.
Unlike Turkey where polygamy is forbidden, it is allowed in Syria. Having one wife is still the most common approach, especially in cities where the expense from two households can be cost prohibitive.
We drove through the mostly green and fertile hills toward Homs for a rest break. Along the way, we skirted the Lebanese border, once coming within four miles of the border crossing. Syria and Lebanon are on very good terms, both speak the same Arabic dialect and frequently have families living on both sides of the border.
After our rest stop, we continued to the Archaeological Museum at Palmyra. We weren't allowed to take photos inside, but we did see several statues from the site. We also saw a large scale model of Ancient Palmyra, a bustling city and caravan stop for camel trains along the Silk Road. It offered a huge agora for trading, a Roman style theater, Bel Temple (equivalent of Zeus), and lavish palace. Built around 100 BC, it was a mix of Mesopotamian and Roman influences.
We drove to the Semiramus Hotel at the actual site of ancient Palmyra and had a lavish buffet lunch. This included a variety of Mediterranean salads, soft cheeses, stuffed grape leaves, rice, potatoes, and a tomato dish with spiced meat (similar to the sauce on Lebanese beans and rice).
After lunch, we headed to the ruins of Palmyra. We visited the Bel Temple, Tower tomb, and Underground Tomb of the 3 Brothers. Then we drove up to the Palmyra citadel, a medieval fortress, to watch the desert sunset.
Dinner was in traditional Bedoin tents with long tables that had squat sofas and pillowed stools on either side. There were a selection of common dishes to share along the table. With no serving utensils, we used our personal forks to dish up lettuce salad, beets, falafel, hummus, flat bread, and mashed eggplant with pomegranite. It was touristy enough that they provided us with personal silverware rather than eating in traditional Bedoin style with the fingers of our right hand.
Musicians arrived to play sitar music and other Middle Eastern instruments. The group leader invited us individually out to dance in the center aisle between the tables. Next they brought out two roasted lambs and tasty fried rice with peas for the main course.
After more dancing (and the whiny, buzzing music that seemed never ending!), we headed back to the hotel and a picture of the ruins by night.

Eight years after Palestinian leader's death, Al Jazeera unveils report suggesting he was poisoned with polonium
Elior Levy
Published: 07.03.12, 20:53 / Israel News

Conspiracy theories surrounding Yasser Arafat's
death have resurfaced eight years after his passing. The former Palestinian Authority chairman may died of radioactive poisoning, Al Jazeera reported Tuesday. The report is based on the findings of tests performed by a Swiss laboratory and exposed in a new documentary film.
Related stories:
The Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne tested samples taken from Arafat's personal belongings including his clothes, his toothbrush and even his iconic kaffiyeh. The personal effects were provided by Arafat's widow Suha.

"I can confirm to you that we measured an unexplained, elevated amount of unsupported polonium-210 in the belongings of Mr. Arafat that contained stains of biological fluids," said Dr. Francois Bochud, the director of the institute.
Polonium's most famous victim was Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian spy-turned-dissident who died in London in 2006 after a lingering illness, Al-Jazeera reported.
A nine-month Al Jazeera investigation also suggests that Arafat was in good health until he suddenly fell ill on October 12, 2004, countering rumors he was infected with HIV.

Aside from apparently changing on 3-0 and 0-2 counts, the strike zone changes slightly based upon the stature of the player.
"The Strike Zone is that area over home plate the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the bottom of the knees. The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball."
When I see the zone as drawn by PitchFX, I really have little idea as to how this compares to the one the umpire has in his head.
Is the strike zone the width of the plate or the plate plus the width of a baseball on either side?
I've also read various definitions of what part of the baseball must be over the plate for a strike.
Any part of the ball or seams?
The entire ball and seams?
The strike zone has changed before and I'm not opposed to seeing it change again.
What if, in order to generate a more standardized strike zone, we could make changes that would equalize one another and in the end have a "one size fits all" strike zone?
Ballplayer average height across position seems to be in a relatively narrow range:
Would it be so hard to develop a strike zone that didn't change, and it wouldn't matter if someone wanted to install Eddie Gaedel in the ballgame as a strike zone stunt.
A uniform strike zone would certainly change the game, but I think in more good ways than bad.

ThoughtFarmer releases new version, integrates with more office software
ThoughtFarmer, a program that utilizes social networking principles to improve office productivity and collaboration, has released a new version of their flagship software.
Vancouver-based ThoughtFarmer, which calls itself "the first social intranet software solution," says this latest version, 4.0, is about getting back to basics.
"I like Twitter and Facebook as much as the next person," says Darren Gibbons, president and co-creator of ThoughtFarmer. "But Twitter isn't going to help you complete your budget spreadsheet or collaborate on a proposal. For that, you need great document handling features, which our new release has in spades."
Document sharing capabilities are the major highlight, allowing staff to collaboratively edit proposals, contracts, budgets, drawings and images. The software integrates with Microsoft Word, SharePoint and Adobe Acrobat to allow easy document creation; copy-and-pasting from Word to ThoughtFarmer retains the original Word formatting, and Acrobat documents are created with one click from any ThoughtFarmer document.
You can find out more about ThoughtFarmer at their website here.

Business Case for Diversity, My Foot
May 27, 2016
As a result, you usually offer another employee, a man, the opportunity to stay late and work on overtime projects.
Your intentions may be good, but you could potentially run into some problems with the Equal Pay Act, which governs equal pay for men and women in similar jobs. You could also run into problems like discrimination (under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act).
A related tip: Are you offering men and not pregnant women (or women with children) the chance at second or third-shift positions with higher pay? This could also be a case of discrimination against women under the Equal Pay Act.

The Pay Phone
by Renard Moreau
In Trinidad and Tobago, people hardly use pay phones; the reason for this is: it is more economical to use a cellular phone.
Recently, I saw one at the roadside and reminisced about the days when there used to be a long line of people who waited patiently to use the pay phone (Those days are long gone).
There are still a few around the country, but I have a sneaky feeling that most of them are either highly problematic or non-functional.

Will the government shutdown for real this time? What happens to payments for workers, contractors and veterans?
The stop-gap bill to fund the government till April 8th is set to expire with no deal currently in place for further extensions. Unless a deal is reached by Monday, 11th April 2011 – many federally funded workers may be shut out from work next week.
Will Military, Contractor, and Federal Employee Pay Checks Stop?
Not initially for current recipients, though there maybe some delays in payments being made. Non-essential federal workers may be furloughed (i.e a few days off work without pay), and Congress won't be able to pass any new appropriations bills. Salaried employees will likely see no interruption in their payments, though hourly or contract workers may see temporary pay freezes since they will not be working.
During the mid-90's shutdown Federal employees didn't get paid,though they did get their back-pay checks later. The first shutdown, from Nov. 13-19, 1995, resulted in the furlough of about 800,000 employees (which is a similar number to today). During the second, from Dec. 15, 1995-Jan. 6, 1996, about 759,000 were either furloughed or worked without pay, according to the Congressional Research Service. If a shutdown occurred it would probably only affect 40% of federal employees, who are funded by the appropriations legislation that Congress is trying to renew.
A shutdown would close veterans' benefits offices, including claims processing, and could lead to delays in non-emergency or new appointments. Since disability and pension checks and GI Bill benefits are paid at the beginning of the month, no impacts would for recipients would be felt till May.
For the most part, military personnel remain on the job and continue to be paid. Civilian, contract and consulting workers would have to stop working and hence would not be paid
Contractors – Your employment and pay depends on which agency you are working for. Some agencies have told contractors that they could be locked out of their offices or forced to cut short any government-funded travel or RFPs. If contract jobs are suspended, contracting firms may ask employees to complete overdue training programs, take vacations (paid/unpaid). Worst case, some firms may need to furlough employees.
Excepted or essential workers would also continue working and receive their paychecks. This includes federal employees involved in national security as well as the military, FBI officials, and border and coastal protection personnel.
Interestingly, Congress and the President are also exempt from the funding cuts and will continue to be paid despite the fact that other services are suspended.
Other government and military services potentially impacted by the shutdown: (source CBS news)
– Social Security administration: Checks for seniors, those with disabilities, and survivors would go out as usual. But Social Security Administration employees could face furloughs, but the agency is still finalizing its plan.
– Homeland Security: Critical functions, like border control, would continue.
– Mail delivery: The U.S. Postal Service is owned by the government but self-funded – so operations would continue uninterrupted.
– Air traffic control: As a function of maintaining public safety, Air traffic control would be exempt from a shutdown.
– National parks and monuments: As the New York Times puts it, "The National Zoo would close, but the lions and tigers would get fed." National parks and museums, including those on the National Mall, like the Smithsonian, would shut down – just in time for spring break.
– Passport operations: All operations would be likely suspended, except for in cases of emergency.
– International Revenue Services (IRS): The IRs would close, but the April tax deadline would stay in place – so Americans would still have to pay their taxes on time. But according to the senior administration official, the processing of paper tax returns (which accounts for about 30 percent of all returns) would be suspended – as would refunds associated with those returns.
– The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA): The SBA, which is dedicated to supporting small businesses, would suspend approval of applications for business loan guarantees, as well as direct loans to small businesses.
The Federal Housing Association (FHA): The FHA would be forced to suspend approvals for new loan guarantees during peak home-buying season, according to the administration official.
Medicare: According to the administration official, Medicare is funded for the short-term – and would likely remain unaffected unless the government were to remain closed for a period of months or more. NIH, however, will not be able to accept new patients or begin new clinical trials.
Uniformed military personnel would continue to serve, but they would not get paid for their work until the government reopened. (Troops would get one week, not two weeks, pay in their next check, as the shutdown would go into effect in the middle of a pay cycle.) And a number of Pentagon civilians, State Department officials and USAID staff would likely be furloughed.
Veterans Administration receives its yearly appropriation in advance and thus has the money to fund services for the rest of the year.
