OAKLAND — Two reputed gang members, one already in custody and the other a fugitive, were charged Friday with the December 2011 fatal shooting of a 23-year-old Merchant Marine Academy graduate killed over a minor traffic accident, police said.
Giovonte Douglas, 21, of Richmond, who was arrested Oct. 1 in Sacramento, and Cartier Hunter, 24, of Oakland, who is being sought on a no-bail warrant, were each charged with murder in the Dec. 22, 2011, killing of Charles H. Butler Jr, who was shot about 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of 46th and West streets less than a block from his home. The suspects did not know him, police said.
Police said Hunter was the suspected shooter and Douglas the getaway driver. Hunter, who has a prior burglary conviction, is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Investigators said they got the information they needed to get charges filed after Butler's father, who has a terminal illness, made an emotional plea in a television interview Sept. 5 for tips. Officer Phong Tran said witnesses then came forward and identified both Hunter and Douglas as the suspects. Douglas has denied being involved, police said.
Police said the shooting stemmed from a minor accident that happened a short time earlier outside a store near 45th and Market streets. Police said Butler was trying to park and accidentally brushed Douglas' 1992 Lexus.
Tran said the two suspects then followed Butler's car to 46th and West in Douglas' car where Hunter opened fire on Butler and killed him. Some of Butler's organs were later donated to others.
Douglas was arrested on suspicion of murder in April 2012 but was released a few days later pending further investigation.
Anyone with information about Hunter's whereabouts is asked to call police at 510-238-3821.

We have long been advocates of fiscal responsibility, as evidenced by previous =inherit"Markets at a Glance" such as =inherit"The Detroit Template", "Have we lost control yet?", "Ignoring the Obvious" and =inherit"The Solution…is the Problem" series. The perpetual underlying issue is that governments promise too much, then borrow to try to keep up, but given the scale of the promises relative to their means, inevitably have to renege on those promises. This creates a situation where ordinary citizens are fooled into thinking that the government will provide for them =inheritad infinitum [forever], and as a result do not save enough and consume too much.Thanks to Boston University's Larry Kotlikoff, it now seems like the U.S. might be getting closer to acknowledging that it has a serious fiscal problem; or at least this is what one might infer from the strong support from Congressmen and Senators from both sides of the aisle, as well as from fifteen Nobel Laureates in Economics (see Figure 2 for a complete list) and thousands of business leaders and economists from all stripes, for a new bill called the Intergenerational Financial Obligations Reform Act or "Inform Act".We find it appalling that, while some of the world's brightest economists consider this an issue of paramount importance, notwithstanding its introduction to the Senate and the House, the "Inform Act" completely flew under the radar of the mainstream media. Hopefully, if this becomes law, it will not be possible for people to keep their head in the sand on fiscal responsibility.The "Inform Act" is a bi-partisan bill that was introduced in the Senate and that will be introduced shortly in the House of Representatives that would require the =inherit"Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the General Accountability Office (GAO), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to do fiscal gap accounting and generational accounting on an annual basis and, upon request by Congress, to use these accounting methods to evaluate major proposed changes in fiscal legislation."=10px1 In other words, it would require the U.S. government to evaluate its budget deficit by estimating the net present value of all its future payments and receipts, instead of arbitrarily deciding which items make it to the budget or not, as is currently the case. Thus, fiscal gap accounting would better represent the present and future liabilities of the government to its citizens and, as the thinking goes, allow for better decision making.While not perfect, fiscal gap accounting is a huge improvement to the current system of "cash deficit accounting", which ignores most future obligations the government has and henceforth prevents any meaningful discussion of issues before they occur (i.e. prevents the government from being proactive). For example, while politicians in Washington regularly argue about extending the debt limit, they fail to recognize that most of the Federal government's obligations are not in the form of public debt, but more akin to pension and benefit commitments.Another benefit of this method is that it takes into account not just current U.S. citizens but their offspring as well. While it is not politically very rewarding (for obvious reasons), taking into account future generations of taxpayers makes perfect sense when designing multigenerational policies such as social security, medical care and environmental policy. A failure to consider the future impact of policies is most likely what put the U.S. public finances in such a bad shape in the first place.The direness of the situation is quite obvious in Figure 1 below, which shows the difference between expected spending and revenues, as calculated by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and which is also the basis for the calculation of the fiscal gap. While Washington congratulates itself for its slight forecasted decline over the next few years, it should reaccelerate quite meaningfully afterwards if no change is made to future commitments. This is why the Inform Act is so important; it forces politicians to focus on the longer term, not the next few years until re-election.Figure 1: Total Federal Government Deficit (Spending minus revenues) – Constant 2013 Billion
=11pxSource: CBO Long-Term Budget Outlook & Sprott CalculationsBut, as discussed in our previous article =inherit"The Detroit Template"=10px2, chronic underfunding of future liabilities is a broad problem which affects corporations, municipalities and states as well. Unfortunately, those issues are ignored by the mainstream media until, as in the case of Detroit, it is already too late. As a result, most citizens remain uninformed about the unsustainability of the income or benefits they receive and cannot plan accordingly.The case of Detroit should not be brushed off as an anomaly but rather should be viewed as a template for what will happen if the government continues to overpromise relative to its means. As calculated by Professor Kotlikoff, the current fiscal gap is about $222 trillion and closing it would require either a permanent tax increase of 64% or a 40% reduction in all expenditures=10px3. Clearly, this cannot end well.To conclude, we support the "Inform Act" as a first step in the right direction. Once passed, the mainstream media will not be able to ignore those important issues. However, it is only that, a first step, as simply acknowledging the extent of fiscal unsustainability does nothing to remedy the problem. The real pain will come when pensioners see their benefits cut or, alternatively, when the ever shrinking workforce has to contribute more in the form of higher taxes. As evidenced by the case of Detroit, the longer we wait, the worse it gets. So far, the mainstream media seems reluctant, as per normal, to inform us about the "Inform Act".For more information on the "Inform Act", please visit: [www.theinformact.org]figure 2: Nobel Laureates supporting the Inform Act

Here's a look at some noteworthy players with college connections and other things going on in the world of college baseball…
The Ax Man Cometh…
If you have spent any time watching the MLB Playoffs, Baseball Tonight or the MLB Network this season you have likely heard the incredible story about how Milwaukee's John Axford has gone from cell phone salesman to Big League closer in the course of the last few years. However, that's not even half of the journey that "Ax", "The Ax Man" – pick your moniker – has gone through to get to where is is now.
Axford, who posted a 1.95 ERA with 46 saves for the NL Central champs this season, turned down the Seattle Mariners after they drafted him in the seventh round of the 2001 MLB Draft. He opted to play instead at Notre Dame, where he went to the College World Series as a freshman in 2002.
He was 5-2 that year after making 12 starts with five appearances out of the Irish bullpen. His fourth relief appearance was one of his most memorable. Axford entered game two of the Tallahassee Super Regional in the middle innings of what would be a 12-5 Irish loss.
In the fifth inning of that game, Florida State fans did what they always do-sang Oh Canada as the Seminoles prepared to bat in the home half of the inning. It's doubtful the FSU faithful even gave thought to the fact that the lanky 6'6 Axford-a native of Port Dover, Ontario-was on the mound during their spirited chorus. "It fired me up a little," Axford told me the next day.
While Axford's 4 2/3 innings in that loss won't go down in the Irish records books, they were important none the less. Axford did that day what a pro does. He did the same thing Tim Wakefield did for the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS when he chewed-up 3 1/3 innings in relief in a blowout loss to the Yankees-he held the line. Notre Dame, led by current LSU skipper Paul Mainieri (current Virginia head coach Brian O'Connor was his pitching coach), knocked off the top ranked Seminoles 3-1 the next day to advance to Omaha.
Axford made one relief appearance at the CWS, but it would be the last NCAA Tournament appearance of his career. While teammates like Steve Stanley and Brian Stavisky were drafted that year by Billy Beane and eventually mentioned in Michael Lewis' book Moneyball, Axford is one of just two players from that '02 team to make it to the MLB (they other was Matt Macri who missed the postseason due to injury).
He pitched for Mainieri and O'Connor again in 2003, missed all of '04 after Tommy John surgery and then complete his collegiate career at Canisus in 2006.
But it wasn't the elbow surgery that held Axford back as much as his problems with control. The Ax Man had 133 strikeouts, but walked 109 with 21 wild pitches in his two seasons under the Golden Dome. Things were no better as Canisus, where he walked and struckout 79 with 15 wild pitches in 70 innings, while going 3-8.
The guy who was considered by some publications to be the top prep player in Canada in 2001 could lather and rinse, but he just couldn't repeat. Axford could be brilliantly dominant one day and then dumbfoundedly disastrous the next. Think Nuke Laloosh.
It was never more evident that two midweek starts for the Irish in 2003. Axford struckout 12 with no walks in 7.0 innings in an April 9 win over Western Michigan. However, he followed that start with 5 BB and just 4 K in a win over Central Michigan. Throw-in a 7 BB performance in 2 1/3 innings of relief in a Big East Tournament loss to Rutgers that May and it's easy to see why it took the guy who now sports the second most recognizable facial hair in the Big Leagues to matriculate his way to Milwaukee.
Ask anyone who knows John Axford though, and they will tell you he is as good a person as he is a pitcher. He's a case study in perseverance paying off over the long haul. Axford is doing now what he did that day in June in Tallahassee-holding the line.
The Dan Man Can…
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman, Dan Johnson, is another big league player with college connections. Johnson is probably now best known for his two-out, two-strike home run in the bottom of the ninth last week against the Yankees to help propel the Rays into the AL Playoffs. Like Axford, Johnson is also well traveled.
Johnson started his collegiate career at Butler University in Indianapolis before transferring to a junior college and eventually Nebraska. He batted .361 with 25 home runs and 86 RBIs in 2001 to help the program reach its first ever College World Series.
The 32-year-old made his Big League debut with the Oakland A's in 2005. He stayed there through 2008, when Tampa Bay claimed him off waivers. Johnson then spent the 2009 season with the Yokohama Baystars in Japan. He has spent the last two seasons back in Tampa. His last hit prior to last week's dramatic home run was in April.
Johnson and Axford are among 175 former college players on the 40-man rosters of this year's MLB Playoff teams. Click Here to see more.
Who Needs High School…
Bryce Harper is probably the most famous player to skip his final year of high school to prepare for a future in baseball, but he is not the only one. Harper skipped his last two years of high school to enroll and play for a year at a junior college before the Washington Nationals made him their top draft pick.
Like Harper, Chris Harvey has jumped from high school to college early. However, unlike Harper, Harvey is doing at a higher level – both academically and athletically.
Harvey, a catcher like Harper, should be a senior at Germantown Academy in Pennsylvania, but instead he is working toward a shot to be Vanderbilt's catcher in a year Tim Corbin's Commodores are coming off their first College World Series appearance.
The 6'6 Harvey was projected by many to go in the first three rounds of the 2012 MLB Draft, but the itch to play college ball was something he could not resist.
"It's something that I wanted to do for a while," Harvey recently told Max Preps. "This gives me an extra year of college, it helps me become a more well-rounded person, and the academics had a lot to do with it. I always wanted to come to Vanderbilt, and to be honest, me and my family weren't really depending on what we were hearing [from Major League scouts and teams]. I think they basically all said what I wanted to hear."
Other players who left high school in recent years to begin their college careers early include Levi Michael of North Carolina and UCLA's Trevor Bauer. Things worked out well for both of them, as both made it to Omaha with their teams. Bauer was the third overall pick by Arizona in this year's MLB Draft, while Michael went 30th overall to Minnesota.
Who Needs Two?
Speaking of Vanderbilt, tickets are on sale now for the DeMarini Fall Classic between the Commodores and Cal State Fullerton. The two games will take place October 22 & 23 at Vandy's Hawkins Field in Nashville. The Titans are led by first year head coach Rick Vanderhook, who was an assistant on UCLA's 2010 CWS runner-up team. Vanderhook was hired after Dave Serrano left Fullerton to become head coach at Tennessee.
Missouri and Iowa Lending A Helping Hand…
The Missouri and Iowa baseball teams will play a pair of fall exhibition games this weekend (October 8 & 9) and the proceeds from the games will go to a worthy cause.
All proceeds from those games will go directly toward rebuilding Joplin, Missouri's Little League baseball programs, which were ravaged by tornadoes last May. Saturday's baseball game will be held prior to the Missouri-Kansas State football game. First pitch for the exhibition is set for 12:30 (Central Time) and kickoff for the football game is at 2:30 pm. Sunday's game starts at 1 pm.
Fans who can't attend the games but would like to donate to the cause can contact Missouri director of baseball operations, Evan Pratte, at 573-882-1917 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
CLICK HERE to see a video with Mizzou head coach Tim Jamieson further discussing the Joplin relief effort.
Schedules, Schedules and More Schedules…
Now that October is here, we will continue to see more and more college baseball teams release their 2012 schedules. we will link them along with team rosters on our master Schedule Page as they are released.
Long Beach State has the best non-conference slate that I have seen so far. Cal, UCLA, USC, Oregon, Arizona State Washington State, and Wichita State are all among the teams the Dirt Bags will face in 2012.

Rayman Advance
Review by CKY2KWC
"Before Globox and The Teensies"
Never before did I think a game could be so good besides the original arcade version of House of the Dead (see my review). This is also another game I remember from my childhood on the Sega Saturn, so naturally I had to pick it up for GBA, along with F-Zero. Although this version is noticably tuned down, it makes a great addition to game collections anywhere. Lets begin with the review:
Wow, Ubi Soft really set the graphical benchmark for the Advance here. Colorful backgrounds, beautifully designed enemies, fluid movements, and a great looking main character all add up to a visual feast. I wasn\'t expecting the Saturn game to port over so well. The only complaint I have here is some things (Mr. Dark, those green flying balloons in Band Land, and the checkpoint photographer) look a tad too pixilated. Fortunately, these are easy to overlook, and dont deter the overall experience.
Not enough can be said about this beautiful music. Let me put it this way, I whistle the theme to the first level more than any other tune I know. Some of the most memorable music I have ever heard in my life. Also, not a bad job of transferring it from the Saturn and PS1 to GBA. Does sound a bit staticy but who cares. Sound Effects are top notch. No complaints in this department. Rayman\'s fist winding up adds a nice cartoony sounding touch to it. Also that annoying theme it plays when you die in the Saturn and Playstation versions has been removed.
You would think this was a typical platformer but you couldnt be more wrong. Rayman is a very unique character with his lack of limbs and cartoony approach. I love some of his powers too. Run?? Hang from ledges?? Man, if he can do that then I must be Superman. Although I can\'t shoot my fist but that would be cool. Replayability probably should be in its own catagory, but there isnt much to say about it besides that there is very little. I like to just go back to various levels and listen to their music. For others of you, there probably isnt much, sadly.
Man, this is one tough game. Whoever thinks this is only for kids should give it a try. You wont get very far. Thankfully you would think this game was made originally for GBA. The controls are mapped out perfectly and this will become important later on in the more difficult levels (Space Momma\'s Crater anyone?) THe most frustrating part is when you beat the blisteringly difficult Space Momma\'s Crater, and Mr. Dark kidnaps Bertila the Fairy. To continue on to save her, you must collect EVERY protoon cage in EVERY level and then the next stage will open up. Boy Howdy, that was tough. Use one of the guides so generously provided on GameFAQS, and this wont seem so tedious of a chore.
Overall 9/10 (Not an Average)
On a closing note about the controls, I played this game on a regular advance, not an SP. I am not sure how more difficult it is to control using a smaller shoulder button and the SP D-pad. I imagine it would be mostly the same, but MAN this game is hard. If you want more Rayman reviews, check mine out for Rayman 2 (DC) and Rayman 3 and Rayman Arena (GCN). Later
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Episode Synopsis: When technology begins to interrupt their lives Bryan (Andrew Rannells), David (Justin Bartha), Goldie (Georgia King) and Shania (Bebe Wood) reluctantly give up their various electronic devices for one day. Shania, however, takes it one step further by suggesting they give up all modern technology including heated toilet seats. Meanwhile, Rocky (NeNe Leakes) unleashes an online beast when she shows Jane (Ellen Barkin) how to use twitter. Hoping to gain more followers, Jane posts a private video from Bryan which was meant to surprise David on their future wedding day. Shocked at the invasion of privacy, Bryan is appalled until the cast of his show "Sing" tells him what they think of the tweet. Show Summary: These days, families come in all forms – single dads, double moms, sperm donors, egg donors, one-night-stand donors… It's 2012 and anything goes. Bryan (Andrew Rannells, "Girls," "The Book of Mormon") and David (Justin Bartha, "The Hangover") are a Los Angeles couple and they have it all. Well, almost. With successful careers and a committed, loving partnership, there is one thing that this couple is missing: a baby. And just when they think the stars will never align, enter Goldie (Georgia King, "One Day"), an extraordinary young woman with a checkered past. A midwestern waitress and single mother looking to escape her dead-end life and small-minded grandmother (Emmy and Tony Award-winner Ellen Barkin), Goldie decides to change everything and move to L.A. with her precocious eight year-old daughter. Desperate and broke – but also fertile – Goldie quickly becomes the guys' surrogate and quite possibly the girl of their dreams. Surrogate mother, surrogate family.

Milano, IT
TERM: Spring 2012
COURSE: Restauration Workshop
OTHER TEAM MEMBERS: Berton Marco, Brugnara Paola,
Conte Giulia, Dalla Valle Chiara,
Ottaviani Elisabeta, Sperotto Giulia
CRITICS: Prof. Arch. Alessandra Quendolo
LOCATION: Ronzo Chienis, Trento, Italy
The Church of San Michele is situated in Ronzo - Chienis, a small center in Val di Gresta, a province of Trento. Presently the building does not hold its original function, initially being used as a Church
and afterwards in 1949, being used as a cinema and as a theater. The church though remains even to us today as an importan symbol of indentity for the community, even thought today in a continuous state of degradation. The major problems which the building faces are those related to its structural stability, even though consolidation interventions have been made throwout the years. The project consists of research, analysis and retauration proposal for the church, always trying to find the best suitable function to be used and the best restauration and consolidation method to be utilized.
MY ROLE: Mainly i have participated in the research part both on site, and in public and religous archives, also on drawing and generating the facades and 3D model of the church as well as the understanding and finding of the stages of evolution, and entirely working on the project proposal of the function to be given for the new church.
Status: School Project
Location: Trento, IT

SYKESVILLE, Md. (WJZ) — A runaway goat on the loose for days is now with Carroll County Animal Control. Several sightings sparked a countywide search for the goat.
As Gigi Barnett explains, Animal Control officers believe he's come a long way.
"Little Boo-Boo" his name is not, but "Billy the Kidd" could fit. For nearly a week, this goat has been on the lam, running away from everyone, especially Carroll County Animal Control workers.
Phones started ringing off the hook about the renegade goat.
"Everybody would see him, either at the gas station. He was over at the Catholic church parking lot running through," said dispatcher Jane Muller.
He even caused a school to go on lockdown and tracked miles under his hooves.
"People get out of the car or people approach him and they push him," Muller said. "He just keeps moving because now he's about half paranoid."
Then by Thursday, tired of running, a team of control officers finally got the goat.
"It just got tired and it just laid down behind a vacant building. When he finally bunkered down and we were able to catch him," said Senior Animal Control Officer Mike Keiner.
For now, he's in the Animal Control lockup, right next to a pig who seems to wants out, too. But this runaway goat has ear tags, and officers say they may be able to track how far he's come.
"We believe he may have come from Texas, but we have to check into that. Maybe a stockyard or something," said Keiner. "We can come up with an owner, possibly get it back to where it belongs."
Animal workers say because the goat is livestock, they have to spend a little more time searching for its owner–longer than they would if it were a dog or a cat. If they don't find the owner after that time, then they will begin the process of adopting it out.
Carroll County Animal Control says it's already received offers to adopt the goat.

Has anyone been here to this little Sicilian cafe and bakery next to Sahadi's on Atlantic?
I stopped in yesterday and I was very surprised and excited with the offerings, although the selection is still quite small. I'd be interested to read anyone's reviews of the food, especially the sweets which i have yet to try, but look enticing. Even though I wasn't hungry, I couldn't resist getting 2 items--an anchovy and olive stuffed bread/pastry thing. It sort of looked like a fried calzone (please forgive me, I can't remember what it is called and I'm not terribly familiar with Sicilian food). It was really delicious. Salty, but not overpowering and with a greasy (in a good way), crunchy crust. I also ordered sardines which were stuffed with raisins and parsley (maybe nuts?), breaded and fried. These were spectacular. I'm still thinking about them and thankful that I still have half left in my fridge to have for dinner tonight. Anyway, I'd encourage others to try the place as it is definitely atypical for the neighborhood(s) and from my little sampling, it's also delicious.

Curling might not get the same attention as other Olympic sports like skiing and figure skating, and some might not even consider it a sport.

Events that Shaped the American Nation's Labor History & Culture
The story of America is the story of its working people—their struggles and successes and their hopes for a better future for themselves and their families.
These days, the town of Cripple Creek, Colo., is best known for casinos—14 of them. A century ago, Cripple Creek was famous for important, dramatic battles where workers fought to win their rights.
It all began in 1894. Cripple Creek had become a boom town after gold was discovered. Some 150 mines sprang up. So did a strong miners union—the Free Coinage Union No. 19, which was part of the militant Western Federation of Miners (WFM).
Workers started pouring in from around the country desperate for jobs, and soon Cripple Creek had a huge labor surplus. That's when the mine owners pounced. In January 1894, they proclaimed that the working day would increase from eight hours to nine and 10—with no increase in pay. However, the owners did offer an alternative. Workers could keep the eight-hour day, but for a reduction of 50 cents in their daily pay.
The WFM members opposed both plans. Miners went on strike, set up roving picket lines and closed most of the mines. They showed what solidarity is all about. The miners who were still going down in the working mines assessed themselves 10 percent of their wages to support the strikers, and the union set up soup kitchens.
There had been plenty of labor battles in the West, but this one differed in several ways. The mine owners failed to get the military or police force they demanded to suppress the strikers. The Populist governor of Colorado, David Waite, was no help to the bosses. They did have County Sheriff Frank Bowers under their thumb, but when he sent a team of six deputies to defend a mine, they were captured by the local marshal's "special police," who were on the side of the strikers.
The mine owners were furious. They secretly organized and paid for a small army to protect strikebreakers and put Sheriff Bowers in charge. When the first group of deputized gunmen under Bowers' control arrived by train, they were greeted by a dynamite explosion at a nearby mine. They climbed back on the train and backed away.
A small war was beginning with shootings and dynamite explosions on both sides. Then, Waite intervened as a benevolent neutral. He sent the state militia to calm things down. Just as important, he sat down with labor and management and helped negotiate an eight-hour day and a $3 daily wage.
As labor historian Sidney Lens writes, the outcome was "a stunning victory for the Western Federation of Miners."
Another great battle at Cripple Creek that had a more tragic ending. When miners went out on a sympathy strike for striking miners at the Standard reduction mill in nearbyColorado City, the employers retaliated. This time, they had a powerful tool in their arsenal lacked previously: a viciously anti-union governor, Jim Peabody. He sent in hundreds of troops under Gen. Sherman Bell, who arrested union leaders and activists, city and county officials, and staffers of a newspaper that published an editorial he didn't like—all without legal warrants or any charges other than "military necessity."
The Mine Owners' Association was at least as ruthless. The owners blacklisted pro-union miners, and a mine explosion was blamed on the union despite evidence of the mine owners' guilt. The anti-union tactics worked. The strike was broken and the WFM in Cripple Creek was crushed. It was years before the miners could—and did—organize openly and win their rights.

The 1892 Homestead strike inPennsylvania and the ensuing bloody battle instigated by the steel plant's management remain a transformational moment in U.S.history, leaving scars that have never fully healed after five generations.
The skilled workers at the steel mills in Homestead, seven miles southeast of downtown Pittsburgh, were members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers who had bargained exceptionally good wages and work rules.Homestead's management, with millionaire Andrew Carnegie as owner, was determined to lower its costs of production by breaking the union.
Carnegie Steel Co. was making massive profits—a record $4.5 million just before the 1892 confrontation, which led Carnegie himself to exclaim, "Was there ever such a business!" But he and his chairman, Henry Frick, were furious workers had a voice with the union. "The mills have never been able to turn out the product they should, owing to being held back by the Amalgamated men," Frick complained to Carnegie.
Even more galling for them was that, as Pittsburgh labor historian Charles McCollester later wrote in The Point of Pittsburgh, "The skilled production workers at Homesteadenjoyed wages significantly higher than at any other mill in the country."
So management acted.
First, as the union's three-year contract was coming to an end in 1892, the company demanded wage cuts for 325 employees, even though the workers had already taken large pay cuts three years before. During the contract negotiations, management didn't make proposals to negotiate. It issued ultimatums to the union. The local newspaper pointed out that "it was not so much a question of disagreement as to wages, but a design upon labor organization."
Carnegie and Frick made little effort to hide what they had in mind. Their company advertised widely for strikebreakers and built a 10-foot-high fence around the plant that was topped by barbed wire. Management was determined to provoke a strike.
Meanwhile, the workers organized the town on a military basis. They were "establishing pickets on eight-hour shifts, river patrols and a signaling system," according to McCollester.
Frick did what plenty of 19th-century businessmen did when they were battling unions. He hired the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which was notorious for such activities as infiltrating its agents into unions and breaking strikes-and which at its height had a larger work force than the entire U.S. Army.
When Frick plotted to sneak in 300 Pinkerton agents on river barges before dawn on July 6, word spread across town as they were arriving and thousands of workers and their families rushed to the river to keep them out. Gunfire broke out between the men on the barge and the workers on land. In the mayhem that ensued, the Pinkertons surrendered and came ashore, where they were beaten and cursed by the angry workers.
At the end of the battle between the Pinkertons and nearly the entire town, seven workers and three Pinkertons were dead. Four days later, 8,500 National Guard forces were sent at the request of Frick to take control of the town and steel mill. After winning his victories, Frick announced, "Under no circumstances will we have any further dealing with the Amalgamated Association as an organization. This is final." And in November, the Amalgamated Association collapsed.
According to labor historian David Brody, in his highly acclaimed Steelworkers in America: The Nonunion Era, the daily wages of the highly skilled workers at Homestead shrunk by one-fifth between 1892 and 1907, while their work shifts increased from eight hours to 12 hours.
That was not the only measure of the steel workers' defeat. As Sidney Lens pointed out in his classic The Labor Wars: From the Molly Maguires to the Sit-Downs, membership in the Amalgamated Association plummeted from 24,000 to 10,000 in 1894 and down to 8,000 in 1895. Meanwhile, the Carnegie Steel Co.'s profits rose to a staggering $106 million in the nine years afterHomestead. And for 26 long years—until the last months of World War I in 1918—union organizing among steelworkers was crushed.
At the end of the 19th century, Homestead inspired a song well known around the country, "Father Was Killed by the Pinkerton Men." The lyrics of this deeply angry ballad began: "'Twas in Pennsylvania town not very long ago,/Men struck against reduction of their pay./Their millionaire employer with philanthropic show/Had closed the works 'till starved they would obey./They fought for home and right to live where they had toiled so long,/But ere the sun had set, some were laid low."

Eugene V. Debs, arguably the foremost union activist in American history, described the 1909McKees Rock, Pa., strike this way: "The greatest labor fight in all my history in the labor movement." Yet today, few remember this struggle when immigrant workers rose up and changed the course of American unionism.
The strike took place at the huge Pressed Steel Car Co. plant in McKees Rock, a few miles down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, where between 5,000 and 8,000 mostly immigrant workers from some 16 nationalities created railway cars. Hailing mainly from southern and eastern Europe, they included "Russians who had served in the 1905 Duma [parliament], Italians who had led resistance strikes, Germans who were active in the metal workers' union," according to historian Sidney Lens. "But because of the language barrier they were easily divided, and thoroughly exploited."
At McKees Rock, "exploited" literally meant daily injuries and deaths. Labor historian Charles McCollester quotes from an article in the Pittsburgh Leader, one of the city's daily newspapers, which reported that when a worker is maimed and mangled in his work, "some foreman or other petty 'boss' pushes the bleeding body aside with his foot to make room for another living man, that no time be lost in the turning out of pressed steel cars. The new man often works for some minutes over the dead body until a labor gang takes it away." A former county coroner testified that the death toll averaged one person a day.
The workers also were subjected to a corrupt "pool system" in which their pay was determined not by any established wage rate but by the whim of the foremen. On July 10, 1909—a payday—workers received less pay than normal and 40 riveters told the company they wouldn't work unless they were told the pay rates. When they returned to work three days later, they were fired. That was the breaking point. Within 48 hours, 5,000 workers went on strike.
When management brought strikebreakers to the plant on a steamer along the Ohio River, strikers fired their rifles at the steamer and it fled to the opposite shore. Soon, there were more skirmishes when the company brought in hundreds of deputy sheriffs and state constables. One striker was killed at the plant entrance, and 5,000 mourners marched in his funeral procession.
The Pressed Steel Car workers received welcome support from other workers. Railway trainmen on lines leading into the city and the motormen on the local streetcar lines all refused to haul scabs. This solidarity was critical. In the end, the workers won what Lens called "a victory of towering proportions." As he recounted, management "agreed to end the pool system, raise wages by an immediate 5 percent and 10 percent more in 60 days, fire the remaining scabs and rehire all strikers."
The victory at McKees Rock extended well beyond the plant. This was the moment when immigrant workers who had no power—"persecuted, robbed, and slaughtered," as one local priest described them—found their voice. The turning point may have come at a giant rally on Indian Mound, a hill near the Ohio River, when 8,000 workers joined together and heard fiery speeches in nine languages. After that, they and the union movement itself were never the same.
Eugene Debs correctly interpreted the workers' victory. He predicted the McKees Rock success would be "a harbinger of a new spirit among the unorganized, foreign-born workers in the mass production industries who can see here in McKees Rock the road on which they must travel—the road of industrial unionism."

Employers rethinking five-day workweek

five-day workweek for himself and his staff of
28.Starting next month the entire company is
going to work for four ten-hour days instead
of five eight-hour days, and the company's
workweek will stay that way if productivity
and profits stay the same or increase. It's all
part of Martinez's strategy to take back his
personal life, and his general inclination to
shake things up at the firm.
"I want to spend more time with my family,
and I'm really curious to see if results are

happens."Martinez may be onto something. While his
experiment may sound unusual, it's actually
part of a growing movement to rethink the
standard five-day, 40-hour workweek that
has been around in this country since the New
One larger example of the phenomenon is
seen in Utah. In 2008, then-Gov. Jon
Huntsman launched the "Working 4 Utah" plan
to shift state workers who were putting in
five-day weeks to a Monday-through-
Thursday, 7 a.m.-to-6 p.m. work schedule.
The verdict: Employee satisfaction, energy
savings and a boon for the environment.
"I don't think we have any plans to go back to
five days," said Jeff Herring, executive director
of the Utah Department of Human Resource
Management. Still, he added that the state is<

Some see improved productivity, but old habits die hard
make sure it's saving money and working both
for employees and the public that uses state
services.It's a radical idea and not without its critics.
Utah State Rep. Michael Noel called the
initiative "stupid" in a New York Times article
last week that said other states are
considering following Utah's lead. Some
experts question whether we would ever be
able to abandon the five-day grind so
entrenched in corporations and society at
But others are questioning the very notion of
the formal work day.
"We are in fact seeing many more companies
willing to be flexible in all areas of the
workweek — fewer days, fewer hours per day,
some long days and some short days, etc.,"
said Allison O'Kelly, CEO of Mom Corps, a
staffing and search firm.
The trend is driven more by the bottom line
than any desire to improve work-life balance
for employees. In the case of Utah, the move
to four-day schedules was driven largely by
the tough economy and budget issues.
Many companies also shook up their
workweeks at least temporarily, implementing
steps such as furloughs that sent employees
home without pay for a few days.
some sort of compressed workweek benefit,
up from 26 percent in 2008, according to the
Society for Human Resource Management. But
will these initiatives grow more widespread
Whaples, a professor of economics at Wake
Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C. He
said the traditional five-day, 40-hour week
simply has been in place too long.
Whaples said the move to the five-day week
began in the 19th century, when a six-day
workweek was more standard. Workers got
Sunday off for religious reasons, but as the
country's affluence grew people wanted more
leisure time.
"The kind of jobs they were doing wore them
out. It was tough physical labor on farms, in
factories and mines," Whaples said. "It made
sense to have time off."
Since then there has been little movement to
change the basic five-day week. Calls for
change by some working parents represent
only a small subset of the population, he said.
The problem, according to Cali Yost, CEO of
consulting firm Work+Life Fit Inc., "is that
many if not all human resource policies and
corporate financial reporting systems are built
five-days-a-week, in the office model."Karissa Thacker, a management psychologist,
thinks it goes even deeper.
"The five-day workweek goes back to
kindergarten," Thacker said. "The structure
and conditioning people have around the five-
day workweek is huge."
Despite technological advances that should
have led to radical changes in the structure of
the workweek, she added, "we're still very
early in the curve in terms of how the
workplace is changing."
Some believe we're actually going backward
when it comes to rethinking how and when we
"It's pathetic," said Nadine Mockler, founder of
Flexible Resources Inc., a staffing firm. "Most
companies are not allowing flexibility. They
want people there, they want face time, they
want to make sure work is getting done, and
now people are working even longer."
This is happening, she added, even though
providing such flexibility makes the workforce
more efficient.
Leigh Steere, co-founder of management
research firm Managing People Better, agreed
and pointed to a study done by Microsoft in
2005 that found workers who put in 45 hours
a week said they were only productive for
about three days.
"Employers should be paying based on results
delivered and not hours worked," she said.
"Should a person who can deliver a project in
two days be paid the same as a person who
takes six days to perform the same work?"
four-day advocates it's more about gaining
personal time."I'm a better husband and a better father,"
said Utah's Herring about his extra day off.
The state has also seen a rise in volunteerism
among its workers as a result of the four-day
There were some early challenges, including
figuring out how to find child care with
extended hours for employees who were now
working until 6 p.m. Public transportation was
another issue. State officials worked with
transit authorities to adjust scheduling, and
officials put resources into helping working
parents find child care options.
Martinez, the CEO from Houston, is hoping his
experiment is as successful. The father of five,
including 10-year old twins, is optimistic he
can find a better work-life balance.
"We were told that by being connected to the
Internet we would get more done and have
more time to ourselves and with our family,"
he said. "That didn't happen. Now I'm looking
for my own rest and recovery. Let's see if it makes us more productive too."

DELAND, Fla. (AP) Willie Green scored 15 points and Stetson erased a 3-point halftime deficit to beat East Tennessee State 64-58 on Thursday.
Stetson (3-14, 1-4 Atlantic Sun) outscored East Tennessee by nine in the second half to earn its first conference win of the season. Kentwan Smith had 13 points and Brian Pegg added 11.
East Tennessee (9-8, 2-2) was led by Hunter Harris' 13 points. Jalen Riley had 12 while Rashawn Rembert and Lester Wilson added 10 apiece.
The teams were tied at 24 with 2:46 left in the first half, but East Tennessee made three straight buckets and took a three-point advantage to the lockers.
They were tied again at 56 with 2:17 left in the game, but Green made a pair of free throws and hit a jumper, while East Tennessee managed just a pair of free throws by Riley in the last two minutes of the game.

City by city, county by county, California is well on its way to banning single-use plastic bags.
More than 75 municipalities, including San Jose, San Francisco and Los Angeles, have their own ordinances. The movement has gained enough momentum that even the 400-member California Grocers Association has seen the light and favors a statewide ban.
In that respect, the state Senate is far behind the times in rejected a bill by Democrat Sen. Alex Padilla of Los Angeles. His measure, SB405 -- which had support from business groups -- would have eliminated a patchwork of policies across the state and would have phased out the use of single-use plastic checkout bags in grocery, drug and convenience stores. But he lacked the votes on Thursday, and the measure was defeated. Some of Padilla's fellow Democrats said the ban would cost hundreds of jobs in plastic bag manufacturing factories.
The Senate needs to see the world for what it is by putting an end to the scattering of "urban tumbleweeds" littering our parks and waterways.
It's incredible that Californians use more than 14 billion plastic bags a year, draining 2 million barrels of oil in the manufacturing process. Environmentalists have made a massive effort over the past two decades to improve recycling efforts, but only 5 percent of plastic bags are recycled statewide.
Some consumers object to the notion of having to buy reusable or paper bags. But most shoppers fail to realize that they're already paying; supermarkets pass on the costs of plastic bags, the annual equivalent of $10 to $40 per household. Padilla notes that consumers pay again for the privilege of using plastic bags when their tax dollars are used to clean up waterways and fund landfills.
Plastic bags take hundreds of years to biodegrade. In the meantime, they break into hundreds of smaller pieces, injuring and killing thousands of birds and other animals every year and contaminating the food chain.
Padilla's bill would have superseded local ordinances and prohibited plastic bags in grocery stores and pharmacies beginning Jan. 1, 2015. Shoppers would pay a small fee for paper bags. Smaller stores would have another year to comply.
Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, earlier this year offered competing legislation that would add a 5-cent tax to all plastic and paper bags. Wolk's bill was held over until next year for good reason. California needs to severely limit the use of plastic bags, not just increase the cost to use them.
Padilla's approach has proved effective in cities throughout California, virtually eliminating plastic bags and significantly reducing the use of paper bags, sometimes by as much as one-third in grocery stores. The blight plastic bags create in our communities and the damage they do to our waterways far outweigh the convenience for consumers. The Senate made a mistake in not passing his legislation.

week 4 – focus52 – leading lines
This weeks theme evoked an unexpected irony for me… I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to photograph but like always I end up with something completely different. This is good. I tend to be a planner and when things don't go exactly the way "I plan " I quite frequently feel overwhelmed. For some reason this weeks theme has helped me realize that life does not always go as planned and that you have to accept and deal with what is dealt to you. Easier said then done, right? Knowing is half the battle.

Who said Spring cleaning needs to wait for Spring? This morning I was trying to tidy up my bedroom. I was just planning on changing sheets and picking clothes off the floor and such. I've been pestering Knut to put up curtain rods in there and I figured the room might as well look clean when they got up.
It kinda all snowballed from there because I haven't put all of my maternity clothes away yet, but I have brought out some of my "regular" clothes and both sets of clothes do not fit in the dresser and closet, so I gutted the dresser, reorganized, and put away regular clothes, and then put away all of the maternity clothes that I have been washing and stashing in a corner of the room until I got to it. But when I put away all of the maternity clothes from the corner and dresser, I realized there were some maternity things hanging in the closet too, and I might as well put everything away at the same time.
Well, then I realized the closet was a mess. It's long and narrow and you know what happens to odd storage spaces after a few months. So I gutted that too, and discovered there was actually a floor and shelves in there. Not only that but I found a few bags of clothes for me that a family at church gave to me that their teenage daughter didn't want. I was about 6 months pregnant with Solveig at the time they gave the bags to me so I couldn't try them on. I had just stashed the bags in my closet to go through later.
So I figured there was no time like the present, so I went through the bags and tried a bunch on. I got a beautiful wool Norwegian sweater in there, some cute dresses that fit like a glove, some shirts, some super soft and cute sweatshirts. All in all, it was a good shopping trip in my closet. There is no shame in hand-me-downs…even as an adult. In fact, it's one of the coolest ways to get clothes that I'm aware of. Well, I had to make room for all these fun "new" clothes so then I started going through my regular clothes and pulling things I haven't worn in years to send to Goodwill.
So now that the closet is clean, the dresser is clean, I should actually clean the rest of the room like I was supposed to this morning. However, Solveig just woke up from her morning nap, and the older kids need some direction for their lessons, so it may not actually get done this morning as I had hoped. As off track as it got me for the day, I love the feeling of "Spring" cleaning!

Valve 4 Linux
Valve is looking for Linux gamers to install and test their new Steam for Linux client. They are primarily interested in experienced Linux users. If you want to join their survey just visit their page.
Also a new title seems to arrive for Linux. Team Fortress 2 for Linux is currently on beta. Ok is an old title (2007) but never mind :)
By the way games (and entertainment software in general) is a special (IMO) category of software and been close source is totally fine. Otherwise I doubt if gaming industry would be able to economical survive -in the best case scenario they couldn't spend so much money for developing.
Hardware with Style
System 76 is a company that builds Desktop for Linux ..and more specifically Ubuntu Linux. But you can install anything anyway. Their latest series is called Sable Complete and is all-in-one box, similar to Apple's style. Prices begin from $799 but they can go up to some thousands, depending your build.
See more images @ their official page
Of course there are many brands which look better than this and you can always install Linux in a every Apple box. But it is always a plus when Linux comes pre-installed because it guarantees hardware compatibility -which some times can be proved painful!
Ubuntu and Google Nexus 7 Tablet
Nexus 7 Tablet is the tablet that Ubuntu will use for testing and tweaking Unity in touch screens. Ubuntu maintains a wiki with instructions on how to install Ubuntu in -$199- Nexus, but the irony is that every other Desktop (Gnome 3, KDE) runs better than Unity on it. At least this is the impression I have by Googling around. So don't get this as a fact!
In any case it is super nice that Canonical step up for bringing Linux Desktop in Tablets.
Nexus 7 with an iControl Pad 2 will give you a nice gadget for less than $300!
Fedora is also working on a ARM Arch and looking on YouTube some guys have already install Fedora in Arm devices.
84 Million Stars and Counting
Space has always been and always will be an interesting topic.
Read more [at] eso.org
Using a whopping nine-gigapixel image from the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory, an international team of astronomers has created a catalogue of more than 84 million stars in the central parts of the Milky Way.
This gigantic dataset contains more than ten times more stars than previous studies and is a major step forward for the understanding of our home galaxy. The image gives viewers an incredible, zoomable view of the central part of our galaxy. It is so large that, if printed with the resolution of a typical book, it would be 9 metres long and 7 metres tall.

Next Unity will offer a solution to anything!
Canonical according to OMG! Ubuntu! hired James Matthieu for working in Ubuntu Icon and GTK themes, which is kinda funny because pt3 (just a reader) had left us a comment "Sound like Ubuntu might have hired him" about that some weeks ago! Good luck to Matthieu!
But there are some more hot news. Canonical also hired Billy Mays for their marketing department!
This is a comic with tribute to memory of Billy Mays who passed away in 2009 -don't take it wrong.
If you suffer from hair loss, itching, you can't sleep at nights, you can't clean the dirt from the clothes or even if you are looking for a date, Unity will provide you with the right solutions and products for your problems. Bellow is work in progress and the first designs for Ubuntu 13.04.
Go on Ubuntu ;)
PS. I really do think that Canonical overdone it with the ads inside Unity in 12.10..

Portadown progress
Portadown came from behind to beat Shkendija 2-1 and advance to the second qualifying round of the Europa League.
Having put themselves in a strong position with a 0-0 draw in the first leg in FYR Macedonia, Portadown undid the good work by conceding a fourth-minute goal as Ardian Cuculi finished from close range.
But Richard Lecky headed them level in the 58th minute and Ross Redman won it with a free-kick 10 minutes from time.
Portadown will now face Slaven Koprivnica of Croatia in the second round, with the first leg on July 19.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I can see you have done what you planned about these two women.
I can see how tough it seems to be for woman B and for you to do this, but you have chosen this option and decided to afford the consequences, and that's what is important here.
The ideal option for you would be, as I previously suggested, to consider individual counseling to work on yourself, at all these areas you clearly listed in your message, in order to make real and significant improvements, that could allow you to be and feel better about yourself, and play a healthy and positive role in the lives of those women who share part of their lives with you.
Can say I hate these consequences, and would do almost anything to diminish her pain and consequently mine. However, I do know if I just run back to her without working through this I will either be right back where I was before (undecided) or ultimately resentfully (of not having the opportunity to move forward with Woman A). Want to get moving on identifying important values for me. Any direction on this.
I suggest you to set a time every day for journaling. You would set a time when you do not have any concerns, distractions or responsibilities to take care of, where you could feel relaxed and focused, and you would reflect on your feelings and experiences, and write about them, like self-talking but writing your inner dialogue down in the paper or typing it in the computer.
You coudl do from venting process where you woudl just express your feeligns and emotions, positive and unhealthy, to explore what you truly value the most, your core values, beliefs, etc.
Have thought of that (counseling). Guess it is time to look into that. Hoping to avoid a long drawn out time. At age 62, want to get on living life. Spent 12-15 years caring for an mentally il wife, and am ready to enjoy company of healthy women. Woman B also cared for her cancer laden husband for years. he died 2 years ago. She wants to get going also at age 58.
You could also work on developing list of priorities, another of goals to achieve around your self-development; core boundaries to set around women and relationships, based on what you learned from experience; explore how much neediness and sense of emptiness and non fulfillment push you to get into relationships without playing a healthy role, and more.
The journalism might be a good direction. Just to organize my emotions. Seem to be repeating thought in a circle. Thought seem to just be random in my mind.. Writing them will help organize.
Regardless of time, as long as people do not work on themselves at the individual level, it would be unrealistic to expect and hard to experience really healthy and fulfilling relationships with others. One is a requirement of the other.
By "working on themselve", are we trying to teach an "old dog new trips"? Or can we just find someone compatible with us as is?
New tricks, not trips.
Your mind could easily fool you, perpetuating patterns, defenses, denial and avoidance, as well as many other defenses and pattern we create year after year, fortifying our ego, and that's why getting something concrete to actually see and monitor what we do, think and feel, could be very powerful and effective, from making obvious dysfunctional patterns and tendencies, to addressing issues and planning ways of action to make changes.
Compatibility is key, but if you only look for a partner fully compatible with you, including your ego deficiencies and distortions, then you would be getting a codependent partner to enable and empower what is already unhealthy in yourself. This is why I do never suggest people to refuse to consider change, their needs for improvement, for polishing from worldviews to attitudes and values, since from there they would actually be able to make concrete lief improvements. Obviously this is not the easy but the hard way, and that's why it si worthy and truly healthy and productive.
Remember my offer for confidential counseling through https://pearl.etherapi.com/connectme/164
Journaling my thought, emotions and values would be a way of organizing them. Not sure i am capable of identifying my own ego deficiencies and distortions. Doesn't our egos defend us from doing just that?
From there I could better support you without the limitations JustAnswers presents.
OK, I see the address now, Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX it some real consideration. Till then, I'l journal. Thanks.
You bet they do, and that's why we cannot be very objective about our own issues and experiences, and that's why counseling and psychotherapy appear as ideal sources of support to work on that.
Good. You're very welcome. Take gentle care and consistent action. Bye for now.

Eric Martsolf Takes a Gamble!
Passions' Eric Martsolf (Ethan) may have his hands full, juggling two women and their babies and/or miscarriages, but coming this November, he will headline at a gala extravanza to herald the opening of a brand new, Palm Springs casino, owned and operated by the Agua Calienta Band of Cahuilla Indians.
The private VIP Grand Opening Celebration to launch the new Spa Resort Casino takes place November 17, 2003. The unprecedented entertainment extravaganza for 4,500 guests will take place in a 140,000-square foot outdoor theater and reception site constructed adjacent to the $95 million Casino, and will feature a special guest performance by headliner Natalie Cole.
The Tribe retained Palm Springs-based Dick Taylor Productions to produce the invitation-only event, which will also feature a performance by Ruben Studdard, voted this year's American Idol, as well as Eric Martsolf, star of NBC/s daytime drama "Passions" performing a medley of songs. The production will follow a private, official ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Tribal Council and other local dignitaries.
"We are looking forward to a spectacular show," said Tribal Council Chairman Richard M. Milanovich. "The Tribal Council is particularly delighted that the producers have secured such talented performers as Natalie Cole and Ruben Studdard. We expect the evening to be remarkable."
Plus, Soapdom has heard Martsolf sing! The man has a voice!
The VIP Grand Opening Celebration will include major contemporary musical numbers, aerial performers, acrobats, special effects and powerful live and video production, for an incredible evening that will engage the audience with a total sensory experience. More than 50 performers and musicians make up the talented cast, with Michael Orland of American Idol fame conducting the band, choreography by Lee Martino and stage direction from David Galligan. TV Production is being handled by Weller Grossman Productions.
Opening with a sensational number showcasing the rich history of Palm Springs, including the building of the elegant new Spa Resort Casino, the show progresses to a memorable duet of "The Prayer." Subsequently, seven magnificent flying performers thrill the audience with acrobatic stunts, leading into a special look at the Agua Caliente Tribe introduced and narrated by noted actor, Richard Thomas best known for his role as John Boy, The Waltons. Fantastic musical production numbers throughout will include Broadway stars Dale Kristien and Sean McDermott.
The patriotic finale will feature the whole cast and heart-stopping fireworks to light up the desert sky. The event will be followed by an exclusive gala for all invited guests, to be held both outside and inside the sophisticated new casino.
To ensure that traffic runs smoothly in the city for the considerable event, the Tribe retained a former Tournament of Roses Parade authority to develop a comprehensive traffic and crowd control plan in cooperation with the city and local law enforcement agencies. "Our celebration is of a significant size and we are aware of the impact the event will have on traffic in Palm Springs," said Milanovich. "Therefore, the Tribe took extra precautionary measures to ensure safety and a smooth flow of traffic."
The new Spa Resort Casino (www.sparesortcasino.com), which is already being hailed as a catalyst for Palm Springs revitalization, replaces the tented gaming environment at the 230-room Spa Resort. Located at 401 East Amado Road, across the street from the hotel, the 130,000-square foot Casino is casually elegant and offers 1,000 of the latest slot machines and more than 30 table games, including Blackjack, Let It Ride, Pai Gow and Mini-Baccarat. Famed La Jolla restaurateur Sami Ladeki brings two new restaurants to the Casino, Roppongi and Noodle Bar. Other dining choices include a 300-seat Oasis Buffet and the legendary Stage Deli & Café. The Sundance Bar offers cocktails and seven screens for viewing games and entertainment. The 150-seat Cascade Lounge provides live on-stage entertainment nightly.
One of the most progressive and financially successful Tribes in the U.S., the over-400-member Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians currently owns and operates multiple business ventures in the Palm Springs area including the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage and the Indian Canyons Tours in Palm Springs. The Tribe has a longstanding tradition of major activity and visibility in the Coachella Valley, and it set an historic precedent by becoming the first Native American Tribe to own and operate two gaming facilities in California. Over the past six years, ACBCI has donated more than $8 million to a long list of groups with special needs, including local community, civic and non-profit organizations. The ACBCI is headquartered in Palm Springs, California.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Getting sick while on vacation can ruin the fun. A local doctor tells of the must-have medications to pack before you travel. For trips inside the country, Dr. Brian Stephens of Little Black Bag Medical suggests the following:
1) Acetaminophen (Tylenol): Works best if you have a fever and safer for most people to take.
2) Ibuprofen (Advil, etc.): Use for aches and pains like a headache, sore throat or injury.
3) Diphenhydramine (Benadryl): Can be used to treat symptoms caused by allergies.
4) Pepto Bismol
5) Hydrocortisone cream: For insect bites and even sunburns.
6) Zinc Oxide Ointment (baby rash ointment): Can also double as a sunscreen.
7) Basic first aid kit with simple bandaging supplies.
8) Don't forget to pack your regular prescribed medications.
Other special considerations if you are traveling overseas:
CDC warnings and needed travel vaccines. See your doctor or a special travel clinic for details and remember you'll want to do this at least 2 months before you travel.
How to take care of your feet:
To prevent blisters and feet problems, Dr. Stephens suggests you soak your feet in strong tea (dark). "It has an acid in it that toughens the feet so they are less prone to blistering," said Dr. Stephens. Good synthetic socks, as opposed to cotton ones, reduce moisture to help prevent blistering. "You can also rub petroleum jelly all over the feet," said Dr. Stephens to reduce friction.
Motion sickness:
Car- Find a spot in the car that doesn't move as much, like the front passenger seat. If you have children who are too young to sit in the front seat, keep in mind, playing video games, looking down, reading or watching TV can increase their risk of getting motion sickness.
Roll down the window and have them focus on the horizon. A breeze in the car creates a distracting sensory stimuli to reduce motion sickness, another option is sucking on a peppermint.
Train- Sit near the engine
Airplane- Try to sit toward the front of the plane or at least in front of the wings.
Boat- To reduce motion sickness, sit in the middle of the ship near the water line.
Medicine: Benadryl, Dramamine or a Scopalamine patch can be used as a preventative for motion sickness.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
Rowena Buxton
Sir Philip Buxton raised three girls into beautiful and capable young women in a bohemian household that defied Edwardian tradition. Eldest sister Rowena was taught to value people, not wealth or status. But everything she believes will be tested when Sir Philip dies, and the girls must live under their uncles guardianship at the vast family estate, Summerset Abbey. Standing up for a beloved family member sequestered to the "underclass" in this privileged new world, and drawn into the Cunning Coterie, an exclusive social circle of aristocratic "rebels," Rowena must decide where her true passions — and loyalties — lie.
Victoria Buxton
Frail in body but filled with an audacious spirit, Victoria secretly dreams of attending university to become a botanist like her father. But this most unladylike wish is not her only secret — Victoria has stumbled upon a family scandal that, if revealed, has the potential to change lives forever....
Prudence Tate
Prudence was lovingly brought up alongside Victoria and Rowena, and their bond is as strong as blood. But by birth she is a governesss daughter, and to the lord of Summerset Abbey, that makes her a commoner who must take her true place in society — as lady's maid to her beloved "sisters." But Pru doesn't belong in the downstairs world of the household staff any more than she belongs upstairs with the Buxton girls. And when a young lord catches her eye, she begins to wonder if she'll ever truly carve out a place for herself at Summerset Abbey.
Rowena and Victoria, daughters to the third son of the Earl of Summerset, have always treated their housekeeper's daughter, Prudence, like a sister. But when their father dies and they move in with their uncle's family in a much stricter household, Prudence is relegated to the downstairs maids' quarters, much to the girls' shock and dismay. The impending war offers each girl hope for a more modern future, but the ever-present specter of class expectations makes it difficult for Prudence to maintain a foot in both worlds.
Vividly evoking both time and place and filled with authentic dialogue and richly detailed atmosphere, Summerset Abbey is a charming and timeless historical debut.

Harvey Norman: Retailer Reduces the Risk and Capital Costs of Launching Online Bargain Site with Highly Flexible Cloud Hosting
Based in Homebush West, New South Wales, Harvey Norman is a large retail chain with 230 stores. Like many retailers, Harvey Norman needs to compete aggressively online, and in 2011 the company decided to create a web site offering bargain purchases that changed each day. Escott's cloud options were influenced by a Microsoft strategy to expand the scope of the firm's hosted services. Originally designed purely as a hosting service for .NET developers, the Microsoft cloud computing platform, Windows Azure, was becoming available to a wider range of technologies and operating systems. As a result, the business can easily monitor and manage its costs of sale, accommodating increased sales without having to make new capital investments.

Managing your land for bees
Bumblebees are hard-working and versatile pollinators, providing an important service to agriculture. The yields of many commercial crops, such as tomatoes, peas, apples and oilseed rape benefit from bumblebee pollination. They are also key to maintaining our biodiversity as so many wild plants depend upon them for pollination.
Bumblebees' favourite habitats include wildflower-rich meadows and pastures, pollen and nectar-rich field margins, orchards, hedgerows, ditches, brownfield and industrial sites, heathland and coastal strips. Sensitive management of these habitats is essential to help bumblebees survive in the long-term.
For generic information on managing your land for bumblebees, click here to download our factsheet.
Alternatively, select one of the options from the left hand menu. Please be aware that each site is unique and the recommended management approach will depend on local site conditions and the historical or traditional management regime. For site-specific advice, please contact your local BBCT Conservation Officer – firstname.lastname@example.com.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.
can you explain what the cruise system is doing or not doing?
It will not do anything. It is steering wheel mounted and will not turn on at all. All of the other steering wheel functions are working properly (horn, stereo
controls, etc..)
ok, here is the testing procedure for this issue. you will need a high end scan tool to complete this test. the late model fords all require a NGS or wwt scan tool to perform the tests required to repair electronic problems such as this.
hope this helps
Is this tool only available at the Ford Dealership or are there other mechanic that can do this?
most quality repair shop should have one of the required scan tools, they have been required to diagnois fords since at least 1999 maybe 1998. your ford dealer will also have one.
If I could ask one more question, if not I will still accept with a positive response, for your answers. I think I need to have a ball joint on the car replaced. (I just bought it used and it is making a noise when I hit bumps on the front right side.) Will that be an expensive procedure?
here is the time from the labor guide for replacing the controll arm, (the ball joint is serviced by removing the controll arm) The ball jpint is a dealer only part and the local dealer in my area is closed right now, if you like I will call them and and get the price for you. the hourly labor rate will vary depend on what part of the country you live in.
hope this helps you.
thanks for using J.A. good night
