I've got what amounts to a 19-minute poem to lay on them.
Is about to adress the class of 2010 from Northwestern Connecticut Community College
Q: What do 12,000 "Like-Free Zone" stickers look like? A: Like this (all 70 pounds of them!)
For 10 years now, ever since "Poems from the Like-Free Zone" came out, I've been passing out these stickers at my gigs. I think it's one of the reasons that the CD still sells well. I order them from a great company called The Sticker Guy, and I've probably given away 100,000 by now. Whatever it takes.
Poet SAYS, "I wasn't going to read this, but it was requested." Poet MEANS, "I have nothing new so I'll pretend someone twisted my arm."
Other useful translations:
When a Poet Says . . .
"I just wrote this today," what the poet really means is . . .
Either "So if it sucks be nice to me."
Or, "So if it's awesome, then what can I say: I'm awesome!"
When a poet says, "This poem is in three parts," what the poet really means is . . .
"I came here wanting to read these three poems, but I didn't know there was a one-poem limit in the open mic so I've put them all together and hope you won't notice."
When a poet says, "I'm going to give you a choice
between two poems I could read," what the poet really means is . . .
"I don't have anything new to read so I'll let the audience decide
between these two tired, old signature poems that everyone has heard
way too many times so that I can pretend it was beyond my control."
When a poet says, "This poem is relatively new," what the poet really means is . . .
"I wrote this a month ago."
When a poet says, "This poem is newish," what the poet really means is . . .
"I wrote this two months ago."
When a poet says, "This poem used to be new" what the poet really means is . . .
"I can't believe I've been calling this a new poem for a year already!"
When a poet says, "I wasn't going to do this poem tonight
but someone requested it," what the poet really means is . . .
"Again, I have nothing new to read tonight so I'm going to pretend that I have a fan
in the back who insisted that I read this tired, old signature poem."
When a poet says, "I'm going to try to get through this."
what the poet really means is . . .
"This poem is old, but I still pretend that it makes me cry so back the fuck off!"
When a poet says, "How am I doing on time?" what the poet really means is . . .
"I know that I am probably way over time already."
When a poet says, "Do I have time for one more?" what the poet really means is . . .
"I'm hoping there's no one in the audience with the guts to tell me I'm over time already."
Vacation ended last night. Work started again at 6:20 am. Why do I schedule things this way?
I love what I do (what I GET to do), but sometimes I don't think things all the way through. Like considering whether I'd want to start back into teaching less than eight hours after I got home from a glorious week diving in Mexico celebrating our anniversary.
On the first day of vacation in a tropical locale try to get NO SUN WHATSOEVER. Don't go for "a base coat," or . . .
. . . a light bronzing," or tell yourself that since it's already late afternoon, the sun's burning hours are gone. Actively seek to get no sun. Assiduously apply the sunblock. Wear your hat. Stay in the shade. You can afford to squander one day of the precious poison. The next morning, standing in front of the mirror, dripping, catalog yesterday's failures. The spot you could not reach is red. There is a pale outline of your lazy lotioned left hand on your right arm.The sun requires this vigilance.

This review is from: Sangean AM/FM Stereo/SW Radio ATS 505
Pros: Good size, nice pouch for the unit when not in use. Came with the AC adapter, a real-in SW antenna, (like a fishing rod,) and bud type stereo head phones. More than I expected. For what I paid for it, this is a nice unit. I'm looking to replace a 20 year old Panasonic AM-FM-SW receiver with a dirty band selector.
Cons: I miss a signal strength meter. Auto-scan stays within a given "Broadcast" band, repeating itself instead of sweeping the entire SW band. Scans too fast, you have to push the manual tuning wheel to get a better fine-tune on the frequencies. It will be better once I get used to it.
Other Thoughts: It picks up WWV. I'm a bit surprised how little their is on the Short Wave frequencies now days. It's been a few years since I was into listening the bands. I wonder if I can wrap this up in some aluminum foil and have it survive an EMP attack for emergency use? Sangean has a better optioned out unit but NewEgg doesn't offer it. I'd like to get one of those, (With a signal strength monitor, and a few more goodies.) Put this one in the food-water back-pack for emergencies. HELLO NewEgg.

This boy appeared on my doorstep about a week ago, and attempts to find his home have been unsuccessful. He's on the big side, but a real sweetie. While he's staying with me, I've dubbed him "Rocky."
This boy appeared on my doorstep about a week ago, and attempts to find his home have been unsuccessful. He's on the big side, but a real sweetie. While he's staying with me, I've dubbed him "Rocky."
Kicked out of the Webelos.
Oh, he's so cute!
He is fortunate indeed that he went to your doorstep, eh? I take it that he's not microchipped, tattoed, no collar?
East Hill
how long have you lived at your place? maybe he was the owners before you and tried to go home? When I moved, my dog used to do the same thing. We got on a first name basis with the new owners because of it.
" The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime."
He had a collar--a rather old and weathered one--but no tags and no chip. Also, when I say that he showed up on my doorstep, he was one house down from me, crossing the street when I first saw him. I've lived here for almost eight years now. I know he doesn't belong to any of the neighbors in the immediate area.
Anyway, even if the owner were to come along at this point, I'd be reluctant to give him back. He's clearly been neglected. He's at least about 10 lbs. underweight, heartworm positive, and had a pretty good case of fleas when I first found him. The heartworms are sufficiently advanced that he's had them for at least five or six months. I think it very unlikely this boy has been out on the street for that long. (His temperament is too good, and he showed absolutely no fear of me.) Anyway, that likely shows that whomever he lived with before didn't bother to spend the lousy six bucks a month it would have taken to get him heartworm preventative or to feed him properly. Just doing the former would have prevented what this boy's going to have to go through to get fully healthy again.
Kicked out of the Webelos.
He's a good looking boy, and you will have to get us some more photos when he's shed his current coat and looks better .
It sounds as if he has escaped to a better life.
East Hill
If you can afford it, I'd recommend taking the dog to the vet for a checkup, shots, and an oil change.
The reason I say this is because I try to take all stray cats near me to the vet for shots and checkups every six months or so, and I've ended up with cats with advanced stages of FIV and feline leukemia that had to be put down before they would infect other cats. Yes, its $1000-$2000 a year, but there are stray cats over a decade old still prowling around.
It sounds as if bluebottle1 has already had Rocky to the vet if he knows that Rocky isn't microchipped, and that he has advanced heartworms.
But, that's still good advice.
You are kind to take the stray cats in to the vet...I've done that before too, and with the same result of having to have them put down due to FIV and Feline leukemia .
East Hill
If he's in that bad a shape, I doubt his owners want him back. I hope if you keep him long term that you become good friends.
Work: the 8 hours that separates bike rides.
I'll likely be keeping him through his heartworm treatment. I'm in touch with a local rescue group for his breed (Great Pyrenees), and they'll subsidize some of the veterinary treatment. In the meantime, he and I have bonded well, so it'll be nice to have him around. We'll worry about finding his forever home once he's healthy.
Right now, he could use a bath and a good grooming, but his coat's not in too bad a shape. That big nasty collar he has in the picture is gone. I actually had to cut it off of him with a pair of metal shears, it was so weathered and stiff. And his breath really isn't bad. Well, it's dog breath, but whatcha gonna do?
Kicked out of the Webelos.
He seems like a happy guy, bluebottle. He's lucky you found him.
"Real wars of words are harder to win. They require thought, insight, precision, articulation, knowledge, and experience. They require the humility to admit when you are wrong. They recognize that the dialectic is not about making us look at you, but about us all looking together for the truth."
Kicked out of the Webelos.

A quick update.
Despite being initially unwilling and then nervous about coming into the house, Rocky has now quite taken to it. The initial shyness he had seems to be pretty much gone, and he is learning to appreciate a good tummy rub with new friends in attendance.

MSNBC Uses Fake, 'Sexy' Photos of Sarah Palin on Air; Will Network Correct and Apologize?

<object width="240" height="194"><param name="movie" value="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=GdqG8zVr8z&c1=0x8CA2B9&... name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/eyeblast.swf?v=GdqG8zVr8z&c1=0x8CA2B9&... type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="240" height="194"></embed></object>
On Friday's edition of Morning Meeting, host Dylan Ratigan featured fake photos of Sarah Palin during a mocking segment on why Americans are fascinated with the former vice presidential candidate. While listing the show's top ten reasons, Ratigan showed a doctored photo of Palin's head on the bikini-clad body of a woman holding a weapon.
The host never admitted or addressed the fact that his network was passing off counterfeit pictures to his viewers. Earlier in the segment, Ratigan displayed an image of Palin in a short, black mini-skirt. This photo is also not real. MSNBC should immediately apologize for presenting such false information.

It's important to remember, several hosts on the network, including Chris Matthews, have mocked <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/11/jon-stewart-catches-sean_n_3534... News host Sean Hannity for taking video images from the 9/12 rally and then portraying the footage as from a more recent tea party event. After it was brought to his attention, Hannity <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/11/hannity-admits-to-using... on Wednesday. How long will it take MSNBC?

During the segment, Ratigan repeatedly and dismissively referred to Palin's looks. One reason he mentioned for the Republican's popularity: "She's also very hot." Talking to a fellow MSNBC host, he wondered, "Hey, listen. That's big, wouldn't you say, Contessa [Brewer]?"

Ratigan began the piece by acknowledging, "I could not feel more stupid doing what I'm about to do, which is make fun of Sarah Palin." He also touted the, supposed, main reason for Palin's draw: "Number one...she has family drama that makes you feel better about your own."

Time magazine Jay Newton Small sneered, "Well, certainly her headlines are more suited to People magazine than, say, Time magazine these days."

Although there were some positive comments about Palin during the segment, there is no excuse for MSNBC to use false and doctored information on air. How will the network remedy this situation?

For more information on the fake photos, see Snopes.com and Patteric....

A transcript of the segment, which aired at 10:36am EST, follows:

DYLAN RATIGAN: [Pivoting off of a serious story by Contessa Brewer]: And having digested everything you just said, I could not feel more stupid doing what I'm about to do, which is make fun of Sarah Palin. So I feel peculiar right now is the truth, because I feel like that is terrible and this is silly. I don't know what to do with that, quite honestly. So, I'm going to attempt to make the transition. But you can call our next segment Palin Palooza. Next week, in fact, you can expect to see the former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin everywhere. Her new book Going Rogue hits store shelves next week. And to drum up publicity, she is appearing on Oprah and launching on a 13 city book tour. Not that the book needs a big PR push, mind you. It's already number one on Amazon's book list of best sellers, which leads us to this question: What is it about Palin that drives America wild? We at the Morning Meeting have some ideas on why America is infatuated with Palin. And to have some fun, we have Time magazine writer Jay Small Newton. She covered Sarah Palin on the campaign trail and our own Contessa Brewer is with us as well. And, so, let us commence the conversation. [Reading off the Morning Meeting top ten list.] The tenth reason why she's people are so obsessed with her, Jay, we say is because we say she is the strongest man in the. Republican party. You agree with that?

JAY NEWTON SMALL: She is definitely the only superstar in the Republican Party has right now. She is the one drawing the crowds and the money.

RATIGAN: "She's also very hot." [Fake photo of Sarah Palin in a bikini appears onscreen.]

NEWTON-SMALL: She's very pretty.

RATIGAN: Hey, listen. That's big, wouldn't you say, Contessa?

CONTESSA BREWER: You know what? Being attractive does not hurt.

RATIGAN: Yes. "She's also the only member of the GOP that knows how to use Twitter and Facebook." That's actually huge.

BREWER: I actually think that is one of her best features because she is authentic. American people see her as accessible and she is using the best tools at her disposable to reach out and communicate with the people who are her best audience.

RATIGAN: I'm going to burn through a couple more of these. Hang on, for a second. [Reads from Morning Meeting Top Ten list.] "Drill, baby, drill." I don't know what you have to say about that. "Ultimate capitalist. She'll sell anything for anybody for any reason." "She does looks like Tina Fey which makes her more attractive." This one, I like, though, Jay. "No one else can wink and smile and rip an opponent all in one breath." Pretty good skill.

NEWTON-SMALL: Absolutely. She can- she has what they call the velvet stiletto. She can rip your heart out with a big smile and looking great about it.

RATIGAN: She also, of course, sticks to her guns.

BREWER: She tends to be pretty dynamic when she is on a particular topic.

RATIGAN: Number two, she is not Bush.

BREWER: Well, there is that. That helps anybody at this point! [A fake picture of Palin holding a rifle and wearing a bikini appears onscreen. Next to it is a real picture of Cheney with a gun.]

RATIGAN: Number one, Jay, she has family drama that makes you feel better about your own.

NEWTON-SMALL: Well, certainly her headlines are more suited to People magazine than, say, Time magazine these days. But, you know, she's- it's fascinating to watch. Levi drama, the baby, is he going to reconcile with Bristol, are they going to get married or not?

BREWER: And how do you invite him to dinner after he poses for Playgirl?

RATIGAN: He's a hockey stud.

BREWER: I don't really see it that way. And I'm not really sure that Sarah Palin would either.

RATIGAN: Everywhere that Sarah Palin goes, she's going to have this hockey stud somewhere nearby posing.

Over the holidays, between days of complete relaxation and hanging out with family, I had a few chances to see good friends while enjoying a tasty meal and a nice glass of wine.
I was back on the West Coast visiting and one of my nights out included a fabulous dinner at Vancouver's Two Chefs and a Table, which is right on the edge of Gastown. The small but open and inviting space was cosy, the food fantastic. As was the glass of red wine I had.
Although a longtime lover of wine, I'm only recently getting into drinking reds. I'm more of a an off-dry white wine kind of girl; give me a good Gewurztraminer, Ehrenfelser or Riesling and I'm a happy camper. I'm equally happy with a really good rose. But with reds, my inexperience drinking them usually flummoxes me when it comes to ordering one to go with my dinner (in this case, a flavourful ribeye with traditional fried shoestring potatoes).
So, I've got into the habit of asking servers for their suggestions. I know that I like new world-style reds, something a bit lighter and more fruit forward and based on that I've been the recipient of some really good recommendations. In this case, the server offered me a glass of Gnarly Head Zinfandel. After a couple of sips, I had her write it down for me so that I could be sure to track it down when I got home. Rich and plush with the flavours of dark fruits, it was a fabulous wine.
And, thanks to Liquor Connect, I can see there are plenty of places to find it here in Calgary. (Just punch in the name of wine or liquor you're looking for and find out where it's sold anywhere in Alberta. This is a fantastic tool that I use all the time after trying great wines that I want to drink again at home.)
So, while not a new year's resolution per se, I'm definitely going to be asking for more wine recommendations in the year to come. Unless, of course, there's a particular Riesling or Gewurz jumping out at me from the menu . . . .

Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano said Wednesday he will cut more than 500 workers from the county payroll to close a $176 million budget gap identified by a state fiscal watchdog.
Mangano, who lost a court fight last week opposing a fiscal control period imposed by the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, said he opted to slash the county's $2.6 billion budget rather than increase property taxes.
"This is a plan where no one is insulated," said the first-term Republican who ran on a "tax revolt" platform when he was elected in 2009. "Everybody is sharing in the sacrifice."
NIFA voted in January to impose a control period after identifying a $176 budget shortfall. The six-member panel appointed by the governor meets Thursday to review Mangano's revised budget.
His plan calls for the elimination of 213 county workers in virtually every department of government and will not fill more than 300 positions where openings currently exist. He also is asking NIFA to impose a wage freeze on all employees and is proposing a 13-day unpaid furlough for all county employees.
The affluent county east of New York City has about 9,000 employees.
He also plans to realign the county police department, taking more than 100 officers in administrative and community policing positions and putting them back on patrol. He said closing one of the county's eight police precincts was being studied.
Mangano, who said the layoffs would not go into effect until July 1, left open the possibility that some staff cuts would not be necessary.
"Labor leaders will have time to offer voluntary concessions to lessen the severity of these actions," the county executive said.
Union leaders who say they have made concessions for several years as the county struggled with its finances, did not initially seem open to further negotiations.
James Carver, president of the Nassau Patrolman's Benevolent Association, called the proposal "devastating." The county executive has repeatedly said these are the lowest staffing levels since the 1950s.
"In 1950 we had 670,000 residents in Nassau County," Carver said. "We have 1.3 million residents right now.
"And now you're going to reduce police patrols even more? Insane is what it is."
Mangano insisted that patrols would not be reduced, and pointed to statistics showing Nassau's crime rate is among the lowest for a municipality of its size.
Carver countered there would still be "quality of life" implications.
"None of this is good for the residents of this county," Carver said.
Jerry Laricchiuta, president of the Civil Service Employees Association, which represents about 6,500 county workers, said he intends to fight Mangano's plan to furlough county workers.
"We're angry, we're frustrated, we're sad and we feel a little betrayed," Laricchiuta said. "We don't believe he's correct on that."
Nassau residents last year paid an average property tax bill of $11,500, nearly the highest in the country. The county portion of that tab is 16.4 percent. The majority goes to finance local schools, although the county has no say over school district spending.
Despite that, in an arrangement created decades ago, the county pays refunds to property owners who claim their school tax assessments were too high. For many years it has forced the county to borrow as much as $100 million annually to pay for those refunds.

8 Bay Area Startups Disrupting the Worlds of Media and Publishing
Newspapers, magazines, books, radio, TV, and even web-based publishers have all suffered major setbacks in recent years, with massive layoffs in some sectors and stagnant growth, at best, in others.
Meanwhile, dozens of local startups are exploring creative ways to transform old media industries into data-driven mobile/social/local services that collectively represent the prospect of a much more diverse new media landscape in the years to come.
This post highlights eight of those disruptive companies, listed alphabetically, that we have been able to profile at 7x7.com during 2011. Half of them are focused in one way or another on challenging the traditional book publishing industry, as ebook sales continue to explode.
BookLamp, a "Pandora for Books," Launches Today
Aaron Stanton is a book browser – he loves to hang out in libraries and bookstores.
At least since 2003, while still a student at the University of Idaho, he has been dreaming of a way to improve the book-browsing experience with the help of technology.
Over the past eight years, he organized a "book genome project," dedicated to "breaking books down into their constituent elements on a large scale," which in turn led him to form a company, BookLamp, which is debuting today.

San Diego-based stock tip messaging service Stocktwits said last week that it has raised a new round of funding, and named a new CEO. The company said the new funding brings its total raised to $10M. As part of the funding, founder and CEO Howard Lindzon said that he has named a replacement, John Melloy, and will become Chairman of the company. Melloy was previously at Bloomberg, and was the Executive Producer of CNBC's Fast Money. Stocktwits operates an online, micro-messaging service focused on trading stock tips, and has often been likened to a "Twitter for stock traders".

It was a disappointing end to a once promising FSU Basketball season. Despite, the strong talent including third-team All-American Al Thornton, the Noles failed to make the Big Dance, and it's hard to imagine that things are going to be better next year when Thornton is in the NBA, unless there's drastic improvement across the board.
Perhaps if the games of Isaiah Swann and Jason Rich blend a bit. Have Swann learn to slash to the basket, while Rich improves his outside jumper.
Have Uche Echefu and Ryan Reid combine a bit, with Reid knocking down the jumper, while Uche plays more aggressively inside.
In the off-season, there's plenty to keep your mind on before stumbling back to the disappointing season finish.
Coach Leonard Hamilton states, "I'm just going to say that we didn't get the job done, we didn't play as well as we had to play in order to overcome the obstacles that we had and that's part of the development process, but I do feel that we're moving in the right direction, but now we have to get the job done."

Anyway, for a while, I considered adding water bottle bosses to my old bike, and actually bought them, but have not really done anything with the Mapp torch other than stuff I could have done with propane. Now I have read that Mapp gas has gone away, and map-pro is its replacement. Anyway, I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this stuff, and if it is a direct replacement for Mapp.

"The Department of Health has made important progress in raising the profile in NHS trusts of the control of hospital-acquired infection, culminating in its key publication Winning Ways. However, I am concerned that, four years on from my original report, the NHS still does not have a proper grasp of the extent and cost of hospital-acquired infection in trusts. "The war against hospital-acquired infection must be pursued on many different fronts: ranging from tackling the factors which inhibit good practice, including a more robust approach to antibiotic prescribing and hospital hygiene, though instituting a system of mandatory surveillance, to persuading all NHS staff to take responsibility for, and contribute towards, effective infection control."

"The war against hospital-acquired infection must be pursued on many different fronts: ranging from tackling the factors which inhibit good practice, including a more robust approach to antibiotic prescribing and hospital hygiene, though instituting a system of mandatory surveillance, to persuading all NHS staff to take responsibility for, and contribute towards, effective infection control."
Sir John Bourn, 14 July 2004
There has been notable progress at trust level in putting systems and processes in place and strengthening infection control teams to improve the prevention and control of hospital acquired infection, but the NHS still does not have enough information on the extent and cost of hospital acquired infection. These are the principal findings of a National Audit Office report, examining progress since the NAO's last report four years ago and against subsequent recommendations by the Public Accounts Committee.
According to today's report by head of the NAO Sir John Bourn, progress in preventing infections and reducing their number is dependant on changing staff behaviour, but change continues to be constrained by the lack of data, limited progress in implementing a national mandatory surveillance programme that meets the needs of the NHS, and a lack of evidence of the impact of different intervention strategies.
Robust comparable data (other than on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections, for which mandatory surveillance was introduced in 2001) are not currently available for the NHS in England. This makes it is impossible to quantify with any certainty if there have been any changes in NHS trusts' infection rates. But the limited information that is available, from the voluntary reporting on surgical site infection surveillance indicates that the degree of improvement has been small, and the mandatory MRSA bloodstream infection surveillance shows that the number of MRSA bloodstream infections has continued to increase.
In its original February 2000 report, the NAO noted that hospital-acquired infections were each year costing the NHS around £1 billion and resulting in at least 5,000 deaths. According to today's report, these are still the best estimates available, although the Office for National Statistics estimated that MRSA alone was mentioned in 800 death certificates in 2002. Because of the complexities involved in identifying costs, few trusts have attempted to calculate their own costs nor have any attempts been made to refine or validate the cost estimate as stated in the original NAO report. Other countries have also had difficulties in evaluating the economic impact of hospital acquired infection.
Increased demands on infection control teams, with more surveillance and external inspections, has meant that there remains a mismatch between expectations placed on the teams and resources allocated to them. The increased throughput of patients has generally resulted in higher levels of bed occupancy – which complicates good infection control and bed management practices. Some trusts are also concerned about the lack of suitable isolation facilities, the increased frequency with which patients are moved within hospitals and the fact that there are not enough beds to separate elective and trauma patients.
The continuing problem of increasing antibiotic resistance and the emergence of strains of multi-resistant bacteria have increased the complexity of managing and controlling infection. The Department of Health's mandatory MRSA reporting system has revealed an 8 per cent increase in the number of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections from 17,933 in 2001-02 to 19,311 in 2003-04. Of these, about 40 per cent are MRSA, making the UK's rate among the worst in Europe.
Even though the profile of hospital acquired infection is increasing and guidelines on the measures required to contain the problem have been published, there continues to be non-compliance with good infection control practices. Hospital-acquired infection is still perceived as a problem for the infection control team alone and not enough staff accept personal responsibility for this issue.
In consequence, many of the barriers to effective infection control practice which the NAO identified in its original report still apply. Considerable improvements could therefore still be made in the following areas: the coverage of education and training in infection control to all groups of staff, particularly doctors; compliance with guidance on issues such as on hand hygiene, catheter care and aseptic technique; antibiotic prescribing in hospitals; hospital cleanliness; and consultation with the infection control team on wider trust activities such as new build projects.
Among the NAO's recommendations are the following:
- that the Department of Health work with the Health Protection Agency to expedite development of national mandatory surveillance of hospital-acquired infection, in a way that meets the needs of the NHS and provides robust comparable data;
- that the Department of Health continue to work with Royal Colleges and professional bodies to ensure that infection control is a key component in undergraduate training, and require induction training in infection control to be made mandatory for all staff;
- in conjunction with the Health Protection Agency, the Department of Health should commission research on bed management and isolation, and develop evidence based guidance to help trusts balance bed management and infection control requirements;
- that NHS trusts should require consultation with infection control teams to be a mandatory step in contract tendering procedures for new build projects, and for cleaning, laundry and catering services;
- that NHS trusts should increase public awareness of and compliance with good infection control practice and encourage their active participation in improving staff and visitor compliance.

In the recent Mission: Impossible movies, Tom Cruise has basically played a charismatic body under stress. While Mission: Impossible III is still the most satisfying film of the series because it takes the Ethan Hunt character and gives him personal stakes to fight for, Hunt's main appeal has always been his charm as a humorless beast of burden. No film in the series makes this more apparent than the fourth and most recent entry in the film franchise, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Here, Cruise, who gets a prominent producer credit in the film's opening credits, shows his age; in fact, he flaunts it. Not in an "I'm getting too old for this shit" kind of way. More like a "My body has seen better days but I'm still pretty amazing, so shut the hell up and watch me scale the tallest building in the world...one-handed" kind of way.
Okay man, sure, I just came for the movie, I swear, don't hurt me!
Tom Cruise in Ghost Protocol is intimidating-looking. In fact, watching the grooves on Cruise's scored face is so distracting that it's sometimes just as thrilling as watching the film's immaculate set pieces. The bags under his eyes are always more pronounced, the contours of his face more angular and the wrinkle lines etched into his cheeks like stone always suggest more texture than his co-stars' features. Take note: Tom Cruise's body hasn't gone to seed. But Hunt's hair is longer than usual and his face is certainly showing signs of age.
So Ethan Hunt in Ghost Protocol is going around doing incredibly impossible missions. He's not developed well enough to be treated like most characters, with ulterior motives and "feelings" that extend beyond the circumstantial peril Hunt is constantly forcing upon himself. So in this film, he's just a really versatile guy that takes it upon himself to do much of the heavy lifting of tracking and disarming an evil Russian madman, codenamed "Cobalt" (Abduction's Michael Nyqvist).
Until Hunt and his team catch Cobalt, they're in the shit. But even though he's working with them throughout the film, Hunt has to basically lead the group because none of them are capable of doing things with restraint, improvisatory skill or much brawn without him. He's the Mr. T to their A-Team; if they were replaced by other actors mid-film, no one would notice or care. That lopsided team dynamic is sort of a given until the film's last big set piece, which reminds us that the film is about a team of spies, some of whom, unlike Hunt, are actually both charismatic and capable of laughing at themselves, too.
Cruise's Hunt has no such default setting. His onscreen persona throughout the series has been, and continues to be, pretty brittle. So it's a very good thing that Cruise is naturally charming. The curious thing about these Mission: Impossible movies is that in them, he's constantly trying to remind us of this by performing spy hijinks and superhuman acrobatics, like his big Dubai Spider-man act in Ghost Protocol, where he climbs up 11 stories using magnetic gloves, one of which short-circuits mid-climb. This only momentarily fazes Hunt. He keeps climbing.
Director Brad Bird (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles) and Ghost Protocol's capable stunt choreographers play up Cruise's glassy charms by making a sight gag of Hunt's malfunctioning magnetic gloves. After he callously shucks the glove off, Hunt soon finds the errant glove stuck to a pane of glass just a few stories below where he originally ditched it. This is a rare thing in Ghost Protocol, a joke involving Hunt's man of action. But it should be noted that the joke is not on Hunt but rather the malfunctioning equipment that Benji (Simon Pegg), a geeky and relatively effete fellow spy, gave him. Modern technology can't even keep up with Tom Cruise!
Yes, there is actually a sequence where Jeremy Renner, a new macho action hero for our times, is floating around with his arms outstretched in front of him like he's Supergirl. And he's sweating. Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt doesn't sweat, not even when he's fighting Michael Nyqvist's Cobalt, a villain that is so hardcore that he'd rather kill himself than let Hunt get the upper hand. Cruise's Hunt, by contrast, is all upper body strength and an unending supply of physical endurance and facial tics when he wants to show you just how hard he's pushing his body (note: pretty freaking hard). Without him, Ghost Protocol would be nothing.

Great ideas from RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2012
We searched the prize-winning gardens at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show this week for the best flower combos to help you dress up your garden at home. And because the wet weather has made the soil so soggy, it's a good time to plant. So indulge your imagination with these stunning flowery fusions…
Go on – indulge yourself!
The Essential Indulgence by Raine Clarke-Wills and Chris Holland (above) with plants from Van Arnhem Nursery in Godalming was a lovely small garden full of great ideas. We liked the lavender set into the middle of the deck and the surrounding elegant scheme of box topiary balls, catmint, and burgundy heucheras.
Pass the grass
This elegant combination of grasses helped to secure The Bridge Over Troubled Water garden by Anoushka Feiler the supreme accolade of Best in Show. To recreate this wonderfully wispy arrangement you will need the annual bronze grass Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum', together with its perennial sister, Pennisetum orientale 'Tall Tails', which has arching stems of fluffy pink-tinged white flowers. Combine these with red dotty Sanguisorba tenuifolia and the rich pink Dicentra 'King of Hearts' and you have the essence of this gorgeous mix.
Peachy dreams
The contemporary urban garden by designer Catherine MacDonald of Landform Consultants was our absolute favourite of the entire show. Catherine swaddled a sunken patio with a peach colour-themed smorgasbord of sumptuous plants, including Achillea 'Terracotta', Achillea 'Walther Funcke', spiky-flowered Eryngium 'Jos Eiking', the grass Anemanthele lessoniana, and the ferny foliage of Selinum wallichianum.
Time-poor planting
Gold-medal-winners Susan Willmott and Adele Ford put together an exquisite seaside garden called Coastal Drift, sponsored by Wyevale East Nurseries. The planting was sublime and one of the best things about it was that you could take the ideas home, install them in your garden and then relax, since most demand very little maintenance. We loved this little gravel pathway planted with houseleeks (Sempervivum), different forms of thyme, and the fabulous diminutive daisies of Erigeron karvinskianus, which will all grow happily in free-draining soils without much fuss.
Classic combo
What could be easier than this simple, elegant combo of white agapanthus set among domes of box topiary and feathery ferns. Chic and sophisticated, this scheme by designers One Abode Limited won them a gold for their efforts. But be warned if you live in a cold spot – agapanthus are not completely hardy so plant them in pots and bring them close to the house or under cover in winter.
Falling for you
This garden, aptly named Falling Leaves and designed by Elizabeth Seymour just blew us away. It was so original and so beautiful, and so deserved the gold awarded. The ivy hanging down was planted in troughs set into this contemporary structure, while that funky tiny-leaved climber scrambling up the rusted steel posts is called Muehlenbeckia complexa – a bit of a mouthful but well worth seeking out.
Colour perfection
Nilufer Danis of Landform Consultants knows her colour theory and put together a rich palette of blues and yellows, a classic design combination, in her garden entitled Our First Home, Our First Garden. Wouldn't you love her to draw up a scheme for your first home? Or even your second or third, come to that. If you can't push the budget for a personal consultation with Nilufer, just order the blue spikes of Salvia 'Ostfriesland', thistle-like Eryngium 'Sapphire Blue', the pompom-flowered Allium caeruleum 'Azureum', and the rich gold Achillea 'Credo' to recreate this scheme.
East meets West
The Japanese Reconstruction garden by Makiko Sato was delightful, partly because of designer Makiko, who was so passionate about helping the victims of her devastated homeland, now recovering slowly from the tsunami, and about her plants and flowers. She combined a traditional Japanese gravel garden with this English-inspired shade garden, which surprisingly worked a treat. If you're after a cool white shady scheme beneath a birch tree, try her mix of Astrantia major 'White Giant, Geranium 'Kashmir White', white hydrangea, and the annuals Ammi majus and cow parsley, which you can grow from seed next spring.
Bring on the butterflies
Bring your garden to life by planting a butterfly haven like the Butterfly Jungles Transitions garden by Paul Allen, Lucy Hughesdon and Lydia Harvey. They selected plants to feed these coveted insects, and it worked – can you see the butterfly on the bright pink phlox in the background here? The other great plants for butterflies and nectar-loving insects shown here are Buddleya davidii, cornflowers, red clover, holly for the holly blue butterfly, marjoram, and scabious.
And if all else fails…
You could simply go for the only 'no-maintenance' garden in the show, which raised a few eyebrows when it won a Silver Gilt medal – three cheers for the judges for being so brave. 'Chaos' comprised a brick patio and no plants, a first for an RHS flower show. Designed by the king of contemporary gardens, Tony Smith, it brought a wry smile to all those gardeners (or was it just me?) fed up with waterlogged allotments, plagues of slugs and flowers covered with mildew, which we've have had to endure this year.

Left to Dorna WSBK series will be the global club racing championship of Superbikes with SuperStock 1000 tec rules, Supersport with SuperStock 600 tec rules and something for 250 4 strokes. RIP. As someone who fondly remembers the WSB mega races of say 1996 - 2001 HTF did all this go so wrong.

Apple has said that it is weighing ways to give shareholders more of its huge cash stockpile, after the David Einhorn-led hedge fund Greenlight Capital filed suit in an effort to press it in that direction.
Greenlight sued the maker of iPhones and iPads to block a shareholder vote that includes a management-backed proposal to make it impossible for the Apple board to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval.
Greenlight said in a letter to shareholders that it wants Apple to issue "perpetual preferred stock" to distribute a bounty from the USD 137 billion in cash the company is holding.
Apple responded yesterday by saying it has been "in active discussions about returning additional cash to shareholders," a statement that helped drive up its stock late in trade for a 3.0 percent gain.
"As part of our review, we will thoroughly evaluate Greenlight Capital's current proposal to issue some form of preferred stock," Apple said.
"We welcome Greenlight's views and the views of all our shareholders."
Greenlight's suit alleged that Apple violated US securities policies by "bundling" the proposal on preferred stock with two other shareholder-friendly measures.
Doing so forces shareholders to accept or reject all three measures together, rather than separately, which Greenlight says violates a Securities and Exchange Commission rule.
Einhorn, a prominent activist shareholder, wrote in a letter to Apple shareholders that his company "is dissatisfied with Apple's capital allocation strategy."
"The combination of Apple's low (and shrinking) price-to-earnings multiple and USD 137 billion (and growing) hoard of cash on the balance sheet supports Greenlight's contention that Apple has an obligation to examine all options to create and unlock additional value," Einhorn said.
Greenlight is seeking to build support for his proposal that Apple issue a "perpetual preferred stock" that could carry, in Einhorn's suggestion, a four percent dividend, allowing shareholders to better share in its idle cash pile.

Deegan Takes Best Trick at Winter X!
Posted By etnies, Skip To The Comments (0)
Jan 31 2005 / Monday
etnies pro and Metal Mulisha frontman Brian Deegan set a Winter X Games record by winning Moto-X for the second time (he also won in 2003) with a mid-blizzard no-footed flip. This Best Trick gold is also Deegan's 10th career X Games medal.
Deegan slammed hard during practice attempting a no-footed backflip/whip combo. As a result his crew was still trying to change his handlebars and straighten the front end on his bike only moments before the finals. However, neither the slam nor the snowfall fazed Deegs, and he came out on top again.
Deegan broke his left femur and both wrists when he bailed a 360 attempt and fell 40 onto ice during prelims at the 2004 Winter X Games and called this return one of the biggest thrills of his life. "I don't think many people have come from a broken femur to win again," he said.

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay area detectives say a French Bulldog that was stolen at gunpoint has been reunited with his owner.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reports that 27-year-old Derek McComber was walking his dog, named Bueller, at 12:20 a.m. on Saturday in Tampa when two men in a Honda Civic pulled up.
One of the men in the car showed McComber a gun and scooped Bueller in his arms, then drove away.
About 9:30 a.m. Saturday, a man in the neighborhood spotted the dog in his yard. Authorities said that the man was making flyers about the dog when he heard news coverage about the theft and called officials. Bueller and his owner were reunited Monday.

CDI Corporation
Engineering and Technology Solutions, Worldwide
Providing quality service is one thing. Being flexible to change as the client grows, being attentive to what the client truly needs and really understanding the importance of client service excellence is what sets a company apart.
"We sincerely value our client relationships," says Paulett Eberhart, president and CEO of CDI Corporation, a leading engineering and technology services firm. While CDI's capabilities are world-class, instilling a client-centric, quality-focused culture is the goal of CDI's new CEO.
Eberhart joined CDI in January 2011 and has taken steps to streamline the company's mission with a greater focus on client service excellence in select industries. "We give our clients access to our breadth of services through one point of contact. We listen carefully, work efficiently and find creative solutions to client challenges while remaining cost-competitive. Satisfying the client by exceeding their expectations is our primary mission."
In her first year leading the company, CDI Corporation's revenues were up 14 percent, to over $1 billion. Clearly she is doing something right.
CDI's services are called upon to help clients manage complex, multifaceted projects. For example, when a chemical or refining company needs to conduct major plant maintenance, install new equipment or deploy safety upgrades, it often faces inevitable lost production time, which has a domino effect on the company's other operations.
To minimize this downtime, CDI partners with the client, far ahead of the planned shutdown, to more efficiently identify specific goals and determine the best way to proceed to minimize disruption and ensure employee safety.
"It's not just a matter of doing it quickly and efficiently, but doing it in a safe manner," says Eberhart. "Our professionals augment the client's engineering capabilities to improve flexibility and reduce costs – saving the client millions, or even tens of millions, of dollars."
Clients benefit from the wide range of technical skills and scientific discipline that makes up the CDI team. The company's quality-focused, do-it-right environment has enabled CDI to attract the best talent for itself and its clients. The company's project managers are skilled in leveraging U.S.-based engineering centers of excellence with offshore and nearshore design centers, enabling them to meet client engineering needs, regardless of geography.
For example, an American drilling and technology company wanted to compete in the Mexican offshore oil platform market. CDI provided engineering design services at the client's facilities in Texas and Mexico, improving time-to-completion and ensuring project success, while at the same time saving the client millions of dollars.
CDI's excellence is noted not only by clients, but also by Forbes, Engineering News-Record and InformationWeek. "Our vision is to be an integrated, market-leading engineering and technology services organization, and my personal commitment is making CDI a great place to work," Eberhart says. "We are moving forward on both of these fronts. As our clients grow, so do the opportunities for our team."

Understanding Auto-Scheduling and Related Functions in ProjectQuest
Saturday, February 26, 2011 4:08:55 PM
Automatic Scheduling of Tasks and Task Dependencies
Automatic scheduling of Tasks helps users to quickly create Project Plans without having to set Target Start and Due Dates for each Task.
Automatic schedule is calculated when the Auto-Schedule Task checkbox is checked. The Target Start and Due Date fields are disabled.
If Auto-Scheduling is disabled for the current Task, the user can manually enter Target Start and Due Dates. All fields related to Auto-Scheduling are disabled (hidden). The user can still pick this task as a dependency for another task.
Start Date
When Automatic Scheduling is on, Target Start Date is calculated based on the Due Date of the previous Task. For example, Task 2.2.4 will start when Task 2.2.3 finishes. This implies that the actual work of a task should be finished before its Due Date.
If a task is the first child of its parent Task or Phase, the Task will start when the task preceding its parent (its parent's previous sibling) finishes. For example, Task 2.2.1 will start when Task 2.1 finishes.
If a Task is the first task of a Project, the Task will start when the Project starts. Tasks 1, 1.1. and 1.1.1. will all have the same start date – the Project Start Date.
The user can override this automatic value and select a later date then the calculated.
Users may choose to override the automatic behavior and explicitly set which tasks need to finish before the current Task starts. In the dependencies field, user can pick multiple tasks. The Start Date of the current Task will be the latest Due Date of the selected tasks. For example, if:
- Task 1.1.2 finishes on May 16
- Task 2.3.1 finishes on May 20
- Task 1.2 finishes on May 22
- Current Task will start on May 22 (on the latest Due Date)
Dependency picker shows all Tasks in the current Project, except direct parents:
- For Task 2.2.3 it will NOT show:
- Task 126.96.36.199 – Task cannot start after its subtask finishes
- Task 2.2.3 – Task cannot start after itself
- Task 2.2 – Task cannot start after its parent finishes
- Task 2 – Task cannot start after its parent finishes
It will show all other Tasks.
Duration can be set for each Task, and also in the Task Template. If no Duration is set, automatic scheduling will not work.
Duration can be set in Days (elapsed days, not work days); Weeks (7 days); Months (calendar month)
If a Task has sub-tasks, Duration can be automatically shrunk or expanded to fit its sub-tasks. In this case, Duration will include the period from the starting of the earliest sub-task, to the finish of the latest sub-task. For example:
- Task 2.2.1 from May 16 to May 20
- Task 2.2.2 from May 21 to May 22
- Task 2.2.3 from May 17 to May 23
- Parent Task 2.2 will have a duration of 7 days, from May 16 to May 23
If a Task has a Duration set to 0 (zero), it displayed as a Milestone in the Gantt chart. Milestones can be used to display key dates, or to indicate tasks done by an external company, such as a supplier.
Due Date
Due Date = Start Date + Duration. Users can override this value by choosing a manual date. The manually set date should not precede the Task Start Date.
Lag Time
Some Tasks may require additional time after the actual work has finished. For example, painting a wall may last 3 days and then require two more days for the wall to dry. The next task will then start 2 days after this task has finished.
Exclude Tasks
Tasks that are not important to the schedule can be excluded from it by checking the Exclude from Schedule checkbox. In this way, the next task does not calculate based on this task's Due Date. It takes the previous one:
- Task 2.1 from May 16 to May 20
- Task 2.2.1 from May 21 to May 24 (excluded)
- Current Task 2.2.2 will start on May 20.
Users can still explicitly select the excluded Task as a Dependency of another Task by choosing it from the Dependency picker of the latter.
Disable Tasks (not yet implemented)
Disabled Tasks can be used when the Project is low on resources. In this way, task data can be saved for a later period when there are spare resources.
- Disabled Tasks are excluded from the schedule.
- They do not show in pickers.
- No notifications are sent to assigned personnel.
Project Team
Project Team is used to do batch assignments on multiple tasks.
Defining Project Team
- User: Clicks Project Team button on Project View page.
- System: Displays Project Team page. This page shows all Functional Responsibilities currently used by Tasks in the Project. There are 2 people pickers for each Functional Responsibility: Responsible Person and Record Administrators. Initially, these fields are empty.
- User: Selects people for each field. The people picker shows all personnel.
- U: Checks the Process? checkbox before each Responsibility they need to update.
- U: When she has finished selecting people, user clicks OK.
- System: Displays a confirmation showing the number of tasks that are about to be updated.
- System updates all Tasks that have Functional Responsibility field set. Current values in task fields are replaced with values from Project Team (if the Process checkbox was checked).
- Users can still edit a particular Task and make changes to the assignments.
Updating Only Selected Responsibilities
- User can update only selected Functional Responsibilities. This is done by checking the Process checkbox before each Responsibility.
- S: Only the selected Responsibilities are updated.
- Tasks that are assigned to other Responsibilities keep their current assignments.
Removing Assignments
- User can remove current assignment from multiple Tasks:
- User: Selects a Responsibility to update by checking its checkbox
- Removes all people from each people picker and clicks OK.
- System removes assigned people from all Tasks that are using one of the selected Responsibilities.
Management Views (not fully implemented)
Add a new menu item "Management Views" with 3 submenu items, navigating to 3 List Views:
- All Tasks Includes all Tasks for open Projects, i.e. Project Status is Not Started, In Progress, On Hold.
- Tasks Requiring Attention
- Overdue Tasks
- Tasks that are not yet assigned to anybody
- Tasks that have not started on their Target Start Date
- Open Issues Includes all Issues, except Completed issues.
Change Phase Content Type
Change the content type of Phases so that it is the same as Tasks – including Target Dates,
Improved Gantt Chart
The Gantt Chart can be filtered to display:
- Tasks from a certain Project;
- Only Tasks assigned to selected people;
- Only selected Phases / Summary Tasks;
Users may choose to display only a range of dates (and view the result as Days, Weeks or Months). Also, users can navigate to a specific date.
Hovering on a Task Bar in the chart displays Task Information as a tooltip.
Clicking on a Task or Phase filters the Gantt Chart to display only this Task / Phase and its Subtasks.

Greenhouse Grown Petunia Infected with a Phytophthora!
Posted: June 8, 2012
ATTN: All who work with greenhouse operators and vegetable growers
The Plant Disease Clinic has received a greenhouse-grown petunia ('Madness', variety which is appropriate in this case and for a Friday afternoon!) infected with a Phytophthora.
It is my understanding that late blight (Phytophthora infestans) affected tomato and potato plants have been detected in PA already this year. Whether this petunia is infected with P. infestans or some other Phytophthora remains to be seen but my penny is on infestans. If not infestans, then maybe it is Phytophthora nicotianae.
Bottom Line:
Be certain greenhouse operators, particularly those growing petunias and tomatoes, are aware that the weather conditions we have been having (wet...frequently) are ideal for Phytophthora outbreaks. Sporangia may be blowing into the greenhouse.
They MUST be examining their plants carefully and frequently.
Look for collapsing, gray to browning foliage. Plants may look like they are melting away. Get a positive diagnosis as quickly as possible. Contact the PDA plant inspector and Penn State Extension for advice.

MUSAYYIB, Iraq — Emad Jabouri was buying fruit and ice for his five children Saturday evening when the explosion struck, severing his right leg.
"I'm finished now," the 42-year-old operator of a kebab stand said from his hospital bed yesterday.
Ali Khalil, a builder, was heading home from a day's work when the fireball engulfed him, spreading third-degree burns over 30 percent of his body. "I need oxygen," cried the 22-year-old, as he shivered in another bed.
Kadhem Aziz was at home when the blast badly wounded his nephew Qusay, 15.

"He was merely crossing the street on his way home," said Aziz, who lost several relatives in the blast. "Musayyib is a small city. This was like a nuclear explosion."
Law-enforcement officials in Baghdad and Hillah, the provincial capital, said the massive explosion that killed at least 90 Iraqis and wounded more than 150 at about the time of sunset prayers was part of an elaborate insurgent operation designed to inflict maximum civilian casualties.
A police official in Baghdad said the license plate of a gasoline tanker detonated by a suicide bomber matched one stolen by bandits a few days earlier on the road between the capital and Fallujah. Police in Hillah said the suicide bomber, who was on foot, set off his explosives as soon as the tanker's driver fled the scene.
"These people harbor satanic ideas," said the spokesman for the provincial police headquarters, who asked to be identified by his nickname, "Abu Hareth," for security reasons. "It was just like hell itself."
The Musayyib bombing was the deadliest single insurgent attack in Iraq since a Feb. 28 explosion in nearby Hillah killed more than 130 people. Insurgent attacks directed at Iraqi security forces continued in the capital yesterday, killing at least 20 people.
At funerals and hospital recovery wards, victims of Saturday's bombing struggled with their grief. Many described being caught in an inferno that shot flames 40 feet into the sky, towering over the minaret in a downtown mosque. Many unsuspecting families died when the blast shattered their homes.
Like Jabouri, many of the victims were milling around the town square, shopping for clothes and groceries. Others were heading home after a hot day.
The bomber apparently was sitting at a cafe along a traffic circle in the town square, sidling up to the truck as it stopped across from a Shiite mosque. Several witnesses said they saw the driver escaping moments before the explosion.
The explosion charred a 300-foot black circle in the town center, damaging nearby buildings. As the fire erupted, mortar rounds landed near the police station and the hospital, adding to the chaos.
Samir Ibrahim, 30, a computer engineer, watched in horror as men, women and children burned to death in a blast that destroyed 20 cars and torched ramshackle houses.
"A little one was only 3 months old, and she did not make it," he said.
Yesterday afternoon, residents walked amid broken glass and shuttered shops. Ali Khudair Mohammad, 58, a high-school teacher, tried in vain to wash away the horrific images of the blast. "I saw how the flames swallowed the panicked people as they ran away," he said. "The fire chased the people down and ate them alive."
Elsewhere yesterday, a suicide car bomb killed four civilians and two police commandos near a military base in Baghdad. Another car bomb killed a civilian and a police officer in the Saydiya district. A car bomb apparently targeting an office of the electoral commission in the Camp Sara area killed three people.


text: Does anyone here ride single speed road bikes as a workout? Is it just better to just workout with a normal road bike with gears? Im not looking for serious endurance or anything like that I just usually run about 15-20 miles a week and a friend recently suggested i check out cycling because he finds it to be much more fun and enjoyable. Ive always thought fixies and single speeds were interesting and I'm just wondering if anyone actually does use this as a workout or is it more of a just for fun bike? So what type of bike should I get to exercise not crazy intense but just a good workout a couple days a week? ( I should also add I'm in college and my budget is less than $400 =P )

Why such a primitive phone?
Go iPhone
You see, their morals, their code...it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...These "civilized" people...they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve
Just think of the fun trying to get on a plane.
We have met the enemy and they is us.
If it was my phone I'd be more worried about the scissors.

Three of Citadel Broadcasting's six Lansing radio stations are implementing big changes.
Oldie's 97.5 is now playing current hits and both of its morning show hosts are moving to other stations. Rich Michaels will move to Classic Rock 94.9 WMMQ to host its morning show with Deb Hart. Monica Harris will join Danny Stewart at 99.1 WFMK.
Citadel Broadcasting Lansing General Manager Rob Striker says it was time for a change in Lansing radio, a product of changing dynamics and demographics.
Dave Beagle, who joined Classic Rock 94.9 WMMQ as a morning show co-host after Tim Barron's departure, is moving to mornings at the new 97.5. Another programming note, Spartan football and basketball games will now be heard on Classic Rock 97.9 WMMQ.
The changes come two days after MacDonald Broadcasting switched one of its stations formats.

I forgot to post this on Friday. Bought 200 shares of Manitowoc (MTW) in after hours trading on Friday at $9.44 per share. Manitowoc's primary business is manufacturing and selling cranes. The company's shares have been punished by the economic recession. Manitowoc has $382 million in cash and only 247 million in debt. Manitowoc has almost $3 per share in cash on the balance sheet and is selling at a discount to book value. It may take some time but shares should rebound with increased spending on infrastructure.
