Shabwa is north of present day Ataq on the edge of the Ramlat As-Sabatayn. It stands on two hills near the town of Irma, the Principal ruined city and religious centre of the ancient state of Hadramaut. Today, the remains of palaces, walls, streets and steps suggest a sophisticated past; a French archaeological team has been working there for many years. Shabwa has been identified with Sabota- the place pliny describes as having 60 temples, an important stopping- place on the incense road- although evidence of the early salt mines suggests this was a trading route long before the heyday of the incense trade. The buildings in the region are made of stone and lime, and much of the ruins have been reused for local building.
Nearby, the major town of the Shabwa Governorate, Ataq, lies on a broad sandy plain flanked on the west by hills of granite, to the east by a sandstone escarpment and to the north by there low volcanic hills of very recent origin. The main road runs through Al-Mahfid where traditional mud buildings have taken on a new elegance with brightly coloured windows and shutters. Further westwards along the uplands towards Lawdar there are some interesting buildings on which external decoration using stone set into cement has produced a creative and contemporary vernacular style. From Lawdar one road leads up the magnificent Kaur Al-Audhilah escarpment, which offers some outstanding views down to the Gulf of Aden. It passes through Al-Bayda and Rada to Dhamar where it joins the main route from Taiz to Sana'a.
South and east of here stretched the discontinuous coastal Lawdar Plain, which is of variable width and is bordered by a coastal mountain belt. The plain itself is composed largely of gravel flats and alluvium interrupted by cliffs of older rock and some tracts of recent lavas, as well as Pliocene and recent raised beaches, terraces and areas. Many of the wadis fade out in sand dunes within a couple of kilometers or so of the sea, although a flow of water continues underground in channels which can be roughly traced from the alignments of trees and shrubs.
Other sites at Timna, by Byhan, Raybun and Zafar and Qana at Bir Ali are all worth seeing, although little is known about their origins and development.
Salt deposits found in domes near Shabwa are still mined for local consumption using simple tools, much as they have been for centuries. The rock salt was formed about 150 million years ago but has only recently flowed to the surface due to the density difference between the salt and the overlying rocks. There are at least ten of these deposits in the vicinity of the Ramlat As-Sabatayn, and most of them were mined in antiquity; they include Shabwa, Safir, Bayhan, Iyadh(Haid Al-Milh), Ayadim, Layadin(Jebel Al-Milh), Al-An-Nuqu and Milh Kharwah. Their presence is thought to be the principal reason behind the siting of the ancient city of Shabwa, and even before then- in Neolithic times, when the climate was wetter- these deposits would anyway have influenced the movements of game and attracted Neolithic hunter populations to the region.
From Mukalla the main road to Aden runs along the coast for 140km to Bir Ali, famous for its sandy beaches and craggy black basaltic lava fields dotted with small extinct volcanoes. One of these, the Husn Al-Ghurab ('Crows' Fortrees), called Urr Mawiyat in ancient times, guards the entrance to a shallow harbour suitable only for small vessels.
On its landward side, at the foot of the volcano, basalt blocks mark all that remains of the streets and houses of the ancient port of Qana (most of which has been cannibalized to provide building material for modern Bir Ali on the other side of the bay).
On the spit connecting Husn Al-Ghurab to the mainland, and on quiet beaches all along the coast, sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. Burrowing ghost crabs, Ocypode sp., also leave their mark in the form of regimented lines of mounds strung out along the strand line as on Bir Ali beach. These mounds built be the male ghost crabs are spaced with almost mathematical precision on or above high tide mark. The male stand on the mounds to make a display, which attracts females. By contract, the females simply dig their burrows at forty-five degrees into the shore, scattering the sand over the beach. They emerge to feed on insects, sea turtle eggs and hatchlings, which are abundant along these shores. The crabs actually run an efficient mining operation probing and excavating the beach for its treasure of turtle eggs. Although they are always on the lookout, their daytime sorties indicate that the threat to their lives from predators is not extreme. The greatest potential danger to them would come from black kites, but these are generally absent along the coast between Aden and Oman. In their efforts to escape back to the burrow they are able to run forwards, backwards or sideways across the sand at speeds of up to 16 kilometres an hour. It is hardly surprising the family name Ocypodidae in Greek means 'swift- footed'
West of Bir Ali, the main road continues along the coast for a while but then turns north and climbs inland. Eventually it reaches Habban, a magnificent town on the edge of the Wadi Habban, with its massive clay housing complexes, traditional mosques and clumps of acaias and fruit trees. The town is home to a religious aristocracy and was well known for the work of some of its population of 300 Jewish silversmiths, in its day the best in southern Yemen. Habban was severly affected when Yemeni Jews left for Israel after 1948; the craft is now lost and today many of its houses are deserted.
South Arabian belongs to the southern Semitic group of languages- which includes Arabic, the Ethiopian Semitic languages and more recent and contemporary Southern Arabian languages- the remnants of which are still current in such Yemeni survivals as Mahri, Shuhuri and Socotri, which are spoken in Yemen and Oman. Little research has been done into the relationship between these and other ancient languages, but it is known that they have connections with modern Arabic and Geiz, the liturgical language of Ethiopia. Thousands of inscriptions in ancient South Arabian, made on stone or bronze, have been discovered, and many have now been interpreted. The texts tend to have religious significance or else document the history of a people, their leaders, events and the building of significant structures. They mention many gods, but there is no poetry nor literature, nor even numbers to be found.
The origins of the South Arabian alphabet are unknown. Some suggest that, like the Greek, Latin, Arabic and Hebrew alphabets, it has its roots in the Phoenician alphabet, which was made up of 29 consonants- vowels were not inscribed. What is perhaps most astonishing is its stability, for between its emergence in the sixth century BC and its disappearance in the seventh century BC only two rather infrequent letters changed shape. The ancient languages of the six major kingdoms of south Arabia were probably rather similar and, like Arabic, were read from right to left- although some inscriptions before 500 BC are written in boustrophedon(lines that read from right to left and left to right alternately). The earliest examples of Sabaean inscriptions are probably those found on smooth rocks throughout southern Arabia, some of the best being from around Marib, where ancient scripted lintels are also seen above doors. Other ancient inscriptions can be seen recycled in more recent buildings, such as the gateways of the highland towns of Amran and Thula.
Many copies and impressions of early inscriptions were collected by early travelers to Yemen. Joseph Arnaud, a French pharmacist working in the 1830s and 1840s was one of them; he visited the Sabaean centres of Marib and Sirwah in disguise accompanied by a Bedouin guide, probably being the first European to see them since antiquity. His copies of 56 Sabaean inscriptions, along with those copies in 1834-5 by Lieutenant J R Wellsted at Husn Al-Ghurab, the rocky outcrop of Bir Ali, and at Nakab Al-Hajar some distance inland, eventually laid the foundations for interpretation of South Arabian Semitic script un 1841 by Emil Rodiger and Wilhelm Gesenius.
Anyone who takes the short cut from Marib into the Hadramaut across the Ramlat As-Sabatayn, can see the profusion of Bedouin settlements, sustained through animal husbandry, so evident after the rains. Camels- essential to life in the desert, can be seen in abundance and provide not just transport but thirst-quenching milk, food and clothing. There are also goats, whose thicker milk is processed and dried. Today, the men are more likely to be seen in a four-wheel drive vehicle than riding their camels.

I missed the 1st quarter, and the 2nd half was not at all what I expect to see from this team going forward but how did Amendola look in the 1st half?
Yes, for the most part the 3rd down defense has looked decent.
Far more of the face that we haven't been able to pass the ball at all.
Note, that's the third 1st down of the half
It's a weakness for any team.
Calm down chicken little
That too.
We've had TWO, count them, TWO first downs this half so far.
An extremely minor one. Pass protection and run defense were the big downfalls of today.
(On that note, Wake was damn good today)
LaFell is not the reason we're most likely going to lose today, not by a looooong shot.
Normally the announcers aren't bad but what the **** today, I actually had to mute the TV
Holy **** thats ****ing awful

Commissions ClosedI might be able to open the window again later this year.The commission details and rules are on my top page, bottom left.I'll keep on taking free suggestions so please write it as a comment under this journal, although I don't have much time lately to pick something from here x_x Maybe if you're lucky I might draw your suggestion when I got free time.I advice you to do a search on my gallery (the search window is on top of the gallery page) to see if I've already drawn something you like to see.I WILL draw:Fanart of any games/animes/etc. if there are references you can give me.I probably WILL NOT draw:>>Scenes from Fanfics and OCs (I'll draw them for commission)>>Animals, Dragons alone>>Requester him/herself>>Weird CrossoversThanks !
Louis, Louis, Always Whining ..."I'm not whining, I'm complaining. Do you want to hear whining?" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?featurelayer_detailpage&v=l8r7ZNrKxFI&listLv0aJNOpaJrotahQ1swwUQd8wjr9TfWVQ#t=450s Okay, no, on a more serious note: I've just had to re-draw the last two days' worth of frames and in-betweens for Louis because I realized I'd been drawing him "wrong".Throughout Louis's character progress he's undergone several changes, most based on my own personal decisions, but many were also due to feedback from you guys here on DA, and I realise now that the "Louis is too skinny I don't like it" comments got to me more than they should have.What these people don't realize is that Louis is ridiculously tall and skinny on purpose: he's a cartoon. He's not meant to be realistic, he's meant to be an exaggeration of the flamboyant gay stereotype, the skinny French stereotype, and his design reflects his wiles and cunning when it comes to out-witting his opponents. Out of al
{~~~~Art-thiefs and you~~~~}Toward the unpleasant incident, that I had this week on DA, I have to ask you some things, my dear watchers.It's hurts a lot to see, how you're fighting against trolls, and give them a chance to call you as abusers and fanatics. ):Please, don't let yourself to be involved into discussion with people, who want to abuse you! Even if it is an art-thief troll, don't speak to them. Just send the note to the artist of the original work. If you see an art-thief on DA,the best thing to do is to send me a note.By an art-thief I mean the person, who knowingly makes a copies/redraws some parts of another artist's art without any permission and don't credits the artist after all, even the artist tries to talk to them.I always send notes to the artist three times before I decide what to do. It's very rare, when I need to report somebody. ~Thank you for all comments, that you wrote here, it's very interesting t
About My School?I frequently get questions about LASALLE College of the Arts, where I study.

ADAM LAMBERT LIVE IN SINGAPOREI pride myself on being an "old soul" when it comes to music taste. As a kid I was raised on classical greats like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, and the list goes on by my dad. My mom weaned my sister and I on goldies like ABBA, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, and Boney M. I listen to copious amounts of 70s and 80s bands that make me look like a bit of a dweeb to my classmates, ranging anywhere from Alice Cooper, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Joan Jett through to Adam Ant and Dead or Alive. As a result, I'm heavily biased against what I call the "mainstream crap on MTV".But just give me this one thing. Just this one.Because I am a complete and total Glambert.When I found out Adam Lambert was coming to Singapore March 8th I was both excited and conflicted, because I had already bought tickets to see Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin) live on the 21st this month as well. But I'm glad I caved into my te

I actually haven't drawn in ages either...Its too hot here and I've been so busy T3T I can only draw when I'm nice and comfy and I hate the heat!

The Ultra-Flexible WMD Definition
Despite finding saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and despite various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who sold them, apparently, the only thing that would have satisfied the left that Saddam had WMDs would have been discovering a giant SPECTRE-sized Ken Adam-styled laboratory with men in white lab coats hard at work caught in the act. But as Elizabeth Blackney, AKA "Media Lizzy" notes on her Facebook page, my how the definition of WMDs has changed:
Just read Abdulmutallab charging docs. He's charged w/having a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Hmm. So, since we're using the 'criminal' standard, shouldn't all those thousands of pounds of mortars, bombs, missiles, etc in Iraq as WMDs? (leaving yellowcake out of it, since that was sold to Canada for energy)
WMDs — they're anything you want them to be. And less.
Update: On Twitter, "SeeDubya" notes hand grenades were once judged to be WMDs, having been almost used in a foiled 2006 Christmastime terrorist attack on an Illinois mall.
Update: The left's flexible definition of WMDs brings to mind this passage from near the end of Orwell's 1984:
'What are the stars?' said O'Brien indifferently. 'They are bits of fire a few kilometres away. We could reach them if we wanted to. Or we could blot them out. The earth is the centre of the universe. The sun and the stars go round it.'
Winston made another convulsive movement. This time he did not say anything. O'Brien continued as though answering a spoken objection:
'For certain purposes, of course, that is not true. When we navigate the ocean, or when we predict an eclipse, we often find it convenient to assume that the earth goes round the sun and that the stars are millions upon millions of kilometres away. But what of it? Do you suppose it is beyond us to produce a dual system of astronomy? The stars can be near or distant, according as we need them. Do you suppose our mathematicians are unequal to that? Have you forgotten doublethink?'
No, but I suspect most of the left internalizes it, so they don't have to think about it. Let me check with Antonio Gramsci and get back to you.

BP brands itself a friend of the environment, an energy company that goes "beyond petroleum."
That image, worth billions of dollars, is being sullied by the company's inability to contain a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
As the expanding oil slick threatens marshlands and wildlife along the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi, BP faces perhaps the biggest public relations challenge an oil company has experienced in the U.S. since the Exxon Valdez tanker disaster in Alaska in 1989.
BP's environmentally friendly image — its logo is a green and yellow sunburst — has outlasted past accidents, including a Texas refinery blast and Alaska pipeline spill. But last week's deadly explosion on a BP-operated oil rig and the looming environmental damage are shaping up to be a major problem, experts said.
Since the accident, BP's stock market value has declined by roughly $25 billion.
An estimated 5,000 barrels of oil per day are spewing into the Gulf, and the company is spearheading the cleanup. But on Thursday, the government sent in equipment to support BP's efforts as the spill was reaching the coast. The Obama administration said BP is responsible to pay for the cleanup, which the company says is costing millions of dollars per day.
Marketing experts and environmentalists say BP's response so far has been superior to Exxon's treatment of the Valdez crash. BP devoted most of its home page on its Web site to the disaster, and it's held regular news conferences.
But it's had some slips. Most notably, BP appeared to initially downplay the extent of the oil spill. It estimated that 1,000 barrels of oil were seeping from the sea bed each day. The government later corrected that figure to five times as much.
In addition, local officials in communities in the path of the spill have expressed frustration with the lack of communication from BP officials, as well as the government.
"They have to repair the problem. I'm not sure if anything else is going to matter until they do," said Kelly O'Keefe, managing director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Brandcenter. "And they should apologize."
BP says it's not focusing on its public relations effort.
"It's about tackling an oil spill as aggressively as we can," said Robert Wine, a spokesman at BP's headquarters in London.
BP has had its share of recent high-profile accidents:
— An explosion at a BP refinery in Texas City in 2005 killed 15 people and injured 170. Regulators in October hit BP with a record $87 million fine for failing to correct safety hazards at the plant. BP has formally contested the fine.
— More than 200,000 gallons of oil spilled from a BP pipeline in Alaska in March 2006, the largest-ever spill on Alaska's oil-rich North Slope. BP paid about $20 million in fines, including $4 million to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for Arctic environmental research.
— Last year, BP paid nearly $2 million in fines for not operating with the proper equipment at oil fields along the North Slope.
The costs could be much higher this time. Besides cleanup expenses now running at $6 million a day, BP faces potential fines and costs to ensure better safety on the rigs it operates in the Gulf. And there will be legal costs. Two lawsuits have already been filed related to the blast and potential damage to the commercial shrimping industry.
The immediate concern was the oil slick threatening hundreds of species of fish, birds and other wildlife along the Gulf Coast.
Eileen Campbell, chief executive of market research company Millward Brown, said BP risks becoming associated with photos of oil-soaked wildlife.
That would stand in stark contrast to the green image that BP took years to build. The company has invested in solar and wind energy projects. It devoted $500 million on biofuels research, and CEO Tony Hayward supports capping carbon emissions. It spent nearly $76 million in the United States on radio and TV last year, according to Kantar Media.
Altogether, the company's efforts have contributed to a brand name worth about $17.3 billion, according to the marketing firm Millward Brown.
BP is considered the most environmentally friendly of major oil companies, the firm said. In contrast, Exxon's brand is based more on its reputation for innovation, corporate citizenship and communication with shareholders.
In the grand scheme, BP hasn't gone much beyond its core business of petroleum. Of its $73 billion in revenue in the first quarter, about $72.3 billion of that came from the exploration, production, refining and marketing of oil and natural gas. The rest came from "other businesses" such as solar and wind energy.
David Oesting, an Alaska lawyer who represented the plaintiffs in a class-action suit that followed the Valdez crash, doesn't believe BP will suffer as much as Exxon did.
Exxon eventually spent more than $4.3 billion on the cleanup and on lawsuits to compensate residents. Two decades later, it continues to pay for the damages. Oesting said he won $1 billion in the suit, and years later he's still cutting checks to the victims.
BP will benefit from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which was established after the Valdez crash by collecting 8 cents from the industry for every barrel of oil produced or imported to the U.S. The fund has about $1.6 billion available to cover damages suffered by coastal residents, fishermen and other affected businesses, according to the Coast Guard.
BP now is at the front lines of what is likely to be a renewed attack on Big Oil.
The Obama administration signed off a few weeks ago on a plan to allow more drilling along the East and Gulf coasts. Edward Markey, the chairman of a House energy committee, has asked the heads of BP and four other oil companies to testify at a hearing about the spill.
Richard Charter, senior policy adviser for Defenders of Wildlife said the rig explosion will reverberate for years in public debates about whether to expand offshore drilling. He said the unfolding environmental damage along Louisiana's coast will linger in memories of the American public.
"It will remind people that there is a risk with this kind of industrialization of the coast," he said.

DETROIT -- Gordon Beckham has arrived just in time for the wounded White Sox.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Marcus Semien slid into third base in the sixth inning Sunday and pumped his fist.
ARLINGTON, Texas -- That he only allowed two runs and a hit over five innings might lead one to assume Erik Johnson had it pretty easy Sunday afternoon.
Tuesday night's White Sox-Red Sox game was generally boring, a three-and-a-half hour frigid slog through walks, pitching changes and feeble offensive rallies.

St. Andrew Comments
Andrew, like his brother Simon Peter, was a fisherman. He became a disciple of the great St. John the Baptist, but when John pointed to Jesus and said, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Andrew understood that Jesus was greater. At once he left John to follow the Divine Master. Jesus knew that Andrew was walking behind him, and turning back, he asked, "what do you seek?" When Andrew answered that he would like to know where Jesus lived, Our Lord ... Continue Reading

Thunder Road International Speedbowl in Barre, VT will enter their 55th season of stock car racing with the 16th annual Merchants Bank 150 on Saturday and Sunday, April 26 and 27. The stars and cars from the American Canadian Tour Championship Series (ACT) will tackle both the high banks of the famous Thunder Road Int'l Speedbowl, and one of the largest fields of regular Thunder Road Late Model racers in recent memory. The Merchants Bank event has been the season opener at the ¼-mile speedbowl since 1999.
Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. (Pole) from Hudson, NH is looking for his first win in a Merchants Bank opener. When asked why Thunder Road is so tough, the 2014 ACT title contender said, "I love racing at Thunder Road and I hate racing at Thunder Road. It's been good to me and frustrating for me. Man, you earn everything you get every lap at that place. First, you have to race the track, which is high-banked, narrow, two grooves and pretty wild. Then you have to take on what is probably the largest and best group of weekly racers in the country, along with the Tour regulars. I have won some big shows (Governor's Cup 150 in 2009 and the People's United Bank Milk Bowl in 2010), but I've always wanted to win the Merchants Bank opening race. It would give our team tremendous momentum toward our goal of winning the ACT title this year," concluded Pole.
A stacked field of potential winners will be on hand for the opening weekend at Thunder Road. Brian Hoar is an eight-time ACT Champion and former Thunder Road Champion from Williston, VT. Hoar will look for his third consecutive Merchants Bank win. Coming off a disappointing finish at Lee USA in the ACT opener on April 13, Hoar joins two-time Thunder Road Champion (2010, 2012) Nick Sweet of Barre, also a back-to-back winner (2010, 2011) in the Merchants Bank race.

TDSB's $143 school pencil sharpener just the beginning
Just when you thought high costs for small jobs at Toronto schools couldn't get worse, the Star obtains Toronto District School Board work orders that show they can
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The high cost to perform tens of thousands of small jobs — hanging pictures, mounting bulletin boards and yes, more pencil sharpener installations — are costing the Toronto District School Board a small fortune, according to data obtained by the Star.
At one school, Emery Collegiate Institute in North York, a work crew was summoned to hang three pictures one day in March 2011, a job that took seven hours and cost $266. Eight days later, workers were once again called to the same school to "hang three pictures on the wall." That time, workers billed for 24 hours at a cost to taxpayers of $857.
The 293,000 work orders covering a two-year period ending this fall represent $158 million in construction and maintenance jobs done for Toronto's 600 elementary and secondary public schools.
Last week, the Star asked the school board to provide an explanation for some of the more glaring costs, including the work done at Emery Collegiate. The TDSB is preparing a response, which it estimates will be done in January.
Meanwhile, reacting to an audit and information earlier unearthed by the Star, the provincial education ministry has offered to assist the TDSB in fixing the problem. A PricewaterhouseCoopers report recommends closing schools and contracting out some jobs.
There is also a police investigation underway, looking at allegations of fraud involving some former TDSB workers.
The Toronto public school board is in a cash crunch. It estimates $3 billion of work needs to be done to bring its aging schools up to an acceptable level.
About 900 workers belonging to the Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council carry out the work as part of a long-standing contract that is radically different from many other boards in Ontario, which contract out many jobs to the lowest bidders. Schools also have janitorial staff, which could do the smaller jobs that have been routinely assigned to the council workers.
Teachers have contacted the Star saying they would like to put up a shelf, a coat hook or attach a pencil sharpener but believe that they are not allowed to. "I was told flat out by my school that we are not allowed to do this work," said one teacher, speaking on condition of anonymity because the teacher fears job repercussions for talking.
The data obtained by the Star is a mix of small jobs that appear to take too long, and big jobs that take many, many weeks. The data is raw — no conclusions are made in the data as to whether the job was done properly or on time.
When the Star first asked under the freedom of information law for the data, the school board wanted $3.6 million. When the Star pointed out that the electronic records could be extracted from their system with relative ease, the board relented and handed over the data at no cost.
Here's a short tour of some jobs that caught our eye. The TDSB has not responded yet to questions about these charges.
• $147.88 to cut one key at the board's "East Education office."
• $167 for a job at R.H. McGregor Elementary School described as "four guys needed to move a bench."
• $118 to install a pencil sharpener at Vaughan Road Academy (this is cheaper than the $143 sharpener installation the Star found earlier at another school).
• $190 to replace a broken toilet seat in the staff washroom at Kensington Community School. That price included the seat, which was $126.
• $312 to replace two malfunctioning smoke detectors at Highfield Junior School, plus $58 for new detectors. The data indicates this important work took seven days from when job was requested to completed.
• $810 to "remove unpleasant words on (washroom) stall" at Elkhorn Public School.
• $1,614 (representing 49 hours for a painter) to paint a vice-principal's office at the Etobicoke School of the Arts. Materials were $82, likely two cans of paint.
• $2,441 to install a whiteboard on the wall at Rouge Valley Public School, plus the $127 cost of the board.
• $2,670 to replace "burned-out bulbs in lunchroom" at H.J. Alexander Community School. That job took 70 hours, and the bulbs were an additional $337.
The data also includes big jobs, such as $21,592 labour (which works out to 745 hours) and $1,849 in materials to replace a broken water main at Hollycrest Middle School. The detail provided makes it impossible to tell if this cost is a fair one. In all cases, the Star has arrived at the number of work hours using the hourly union wage at the TDSB for each trade.
Here's how work gets authorized: each TDSB janitor has a computer terminal in his or her office that is linked to the public school board's work-order system. When a teacher or principal, or the janitor, decides something needs fixing or to be installed, the janitor is asked to create a work order. The janitor inputs the information into a computer terminal. At TDSB maintenance head office, a worker is assigned. Depending on the type of work, one of the 900 skilled tradespeople (electricians, carpenters, plumbers, general maintenance, etc.) with the Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council is dispatched.
The trades council, run by Jimmy Hazel, said in a recent dispatch to trustees that it agrees on-site janitorial staff should be allowed to do some of the smaller jobs.
Meanwhile, at TDSB headquarters, managers are trying to construct a system that will allow them to monitor workers. One suggestion being tossed around is to install GPS systems on trucks. This was discussed after managers discovered some workers said they were at a job site and were actually at a Tim Hortons, a bar, delivering pamphlets for a paving job using TDSB equipment or, in one case, kissing a girlfriend in a school board van.

Netanyahu's Statements Raise Fears of 'Disengagement'
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told a closed meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday, "I don't want one state from the (Mediterranean) Sea to the Jordan (River)...we must separate from the Palestinians," according to a Friday report by Makor Rishon. Several of the MKs who attended, both from the political right and left, reportedly called Netanyahu's statements dramatic and requiring clarification, and warned that they hinted plans for unilateral action.

Ken's game of catch-up fails to harden into winning lead
Related Articles
Published: 13 February 2012
First, the good news for Ken Livingstone. His pledge to slash fares is by far the most popular idea anybody has come up with yet in London's mayoral battle.
Seven out of 10 Londoners support the idea, in both inner London and the outer doughnut. More than half of rival Boris Johnson's supporters admit they like it.
The bad news for Ken is that less than half - 44 per cent - believe that Mayor Livingstone would actually keep his word once in City Hall. Cynicism about whether he would fulfil his pledge is highest among young voters aged 18 to 24, who are a key target group for Labour.
Ken's credibility question seems to be the main reason why the astonishing campaign momentum he achieved in January has been suddenly checked in February.
Today's poll puts the two great rivals roughly neck and neck again. A month ago, Ken had a two-point lead. Now Boris has a two point lead. That's within the margin of error for an opinion poll, so the two-point swing implied may just be an illusion.
What the headline figures do show, beyond doubt, is that Ken has failed to extend or harden his January lead. He is like a marathon runner who, in a stupendous effort, catches up with the leader only to find he cannot break ahead. Our survey by YouGov is packed with other insights about where the frontrunners stand.
In inner London, Ken is ahead by 53 per cent to 47. But the huge outer doughnut is sticking with Boris by 52 to 48. Among voters aged 18 to 24 the pair get 50 per cent each. Ken is somewhat ahead among 25 to 59-year-olds. But Boris has a massive "grey power" advantage, a two to one lead among the over-sixties.
On the four issues that matter most to Londoners, Ken is ahead on three. He has 15 and 16 point leads on improving transport and tackling the high cost of living, and a narrow three-point lead on creating jobs. On crime fighting, Boris is ahead by a slender four points. It goes to show that simple, bold pledges work best.
It is a bookmarkers' dream: a battle between two heavyweights that could go either way.
Boris is ahead by a nose. But with three months to go, the odds could change dramatically.

NLDS Preview: Phillies vs. Rockies
Oct 6, 2009, 11:58 PM EDT
The good news for fans of the Colorado Rockies is that their team — on the strength of their big 2007-esque second-half surge — is once again baseball's feel-good story.
The bad news? The Phillies don't really care.
Since firing manager Clint Hurdle and replacing him with Jim Tracy, the Rockies have gone 74-41 (.643) to go from last place in the NL West to within three games of catching the division champion Los Angeles Dodgers.
The NL wild card entrant scored the second most runs in the National League, were second in home runs, second in on-base percentage, second in slugging and fifth in stolen bases.
Even the pitching was improved with solid seasons from Ubaldo Jimenez and Jason Marquis, plus the emergence of Jorge De La Rosa (16-9), who finished 16-9 after losing his first six starts.
But now the bad news: De La Rosa will be a non-factor, as his injured groin will keep him out at least until the NLCS, should the Rockies manage to advance that far.
Also, the Phillies are simply a terrible matchup for Colorado.
2009 NLDS Probables
Game 1: Ubaldo Jimenez vs. Cliff Lee
Game 2: Aaron Cook vs. Cole Hamels
Game 3: J.A. Happ or Joe Blanton or Pedro Martinez vs. Jason Hammel
Game 4: Whoever is left vs. Jason Marquis
Game 5: Jimenez vs. Lee
The Phillies appear to have the edge in starting pitching, though maybe not as big an edge as it appears at first glance. Lee started hot after joining Philly at midseason, but had mixed results down the stretch, including a six-inning, seven-run outing against the Brewers on Sept. 25, and a three-inning, six-run outing against the Astros on Sept. 4.
2008 playoff hero Hamels was spotty all season, a maddening occurrence that continued into September. And Happ, the Phillies' most consistent pitcher over the course of the season, faces — against all logic — an uncertain role.
On the Rockies' side of things, Jimenez has blossomed this season , and Cook and Hammel have been solid. But without De La Rosa, and with Marquis coming back to Earth after a dazzling first half, the edge has to go to the Phillies.
As mentioned above, the Rockies have been a run-scoring machine this season despite the loss of Matt Holliday in an offseason trade. Troy Tulowitzki has been the star, reverting to 2007 form (better, actually) after a 2008 season hampered by injuries. His .297/.377/.552 line makes him the big threat in a solid Rockies lineup.
The problem is the Phillies' offense is even better. Put together a powerful lineup with stalwarts Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth, throw in a career season from Raul Ibanez, and you have a force to be reckoned with.
The Phillies led the NL in doubles, home runs, slugging percentage, RBIs and runs scored. They were also second in stolen bases, with Utley, Werth, Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino each swiping at least 20 bags. Once again, edge goes to the Phillies.
Phillies won season series 4-2
Phillies outscored Rockies 31-28
Runs per game
Phillies: 5.06
Rockies: 4.96
Runs allowed per game
Phillies: 4.38
Rockies: 4.41
Overrated angle
The Phillies bullpen: Yes Brad Lidge has had an awful season. Yes Ryan Madson has had moments where he has struggled. But this is a short series with two off days (if it goes to a fifth game), and the Phillies have a wealth of starting pitching. Some combination of Joe Blanton, J.A. Happ and Pedro Martinez could be available in relief, taking pressure off the back end guys. And Lidge finished the season with three scoreless outings. I'm not saying he's anywhere near 2008 form, but that's gotta be a good sign right?
Underrated angle
The lefty-righty matchups: With De La Rosa out, the Rockies have no left-handed starters to face a Phillies lineup dominated by lefties (Ibanez, Howard, Utley) and switch hitters (Rollins, Victorino). On the other side of things, the Phillies are loaded with left-handed starters (Hamels, Happ, Lee) to face a Rockies lineup dominated by left-handed hitters. This will give Philly a huge edge.
Despite the matchup problems, the Rockies — led by Tulowitzki — should be able to score some runs on the Phillies. The problem is Colorado's pitchers should struggle against that dominant Phillies lineup. And when you consider the Rockies' home/road splits (51-30 in Denver/41-40 away from Denver) the Rockies really needed homefield advantage to make this happen.
Phillies in 4.

So where does that put Denver baseball on the respect level if you want to bring up all of this history?
– Minor league baseball city for most of the history of organized baseball.
– 2 championships is still greater than 0 championships – even with that there new fangled new math they do that thar in the mountains.
– No West Division titles in their ENTIRE 16 year history…really not one? – Phils have 4 since 1993 and 3 in the last 3 years.
Don't let the air being rare in Colorado/Denver get you all light headed about this whole respect thing.
What did you say – sorry I was all distracted looking at my ticket from Game 5 of the 2009 WS. You got a WS ticket from the series-winning game to look at?

Let's be objective here. There isn't anyone on the Rockies that could break into the Phillies starting lineup. Go down the list.
Rollins — MVP, best defensive Short stop in the league — Hall of Famer
Utley — Best second basemen of all time, Hall of famer
Howard — MVP, one of the best power hitters ever – Hall of famer
Felix — Best defensive third basemen in the NL, solid 7 hole hitter
Ibanez — starting all-star, numbers speak for themselves
Victorino — starting all-star, gold glover, world class speed — no contest
Werth — all-star, monster power numbers — no contest
Ruiz — great catcher, close by I'll take Ruiz
Cliff Lee — 2 time Cy Young winner, Hall of famer
Hamels — World series MVP — Hall of Famer
Happ — Rookie of the year, best #3 in baseball
Blanton — Best #4 in baseball
Am I missing something? Noboyd on the Rockies could crack the Phillies lineup or starting 4. This is the biggest mismatch in the post season

You can NEVER EVER count the Rockies out!! I don't care about stats!!

Hmmm… yeah. Rox lineup can't do ANYTHING. Except three hits in the first two innings. Mismatch??? Puhleeze. In your dreams.

The Rocks can't do anything against left-handed pitching. Please admit that nobody on the Rockies could suit up for the all-star/Hall of Famer Philly lineup.

NEWARK, N.J. -- One New Jersey lawmaker wants to add a new attraction to amusement parks along the Jersey shore: windmills.
State Sen. Jeff Van Drew is pushing to change state regulations to allow the construction of power-generating windmills on amusement piers.
The Cape May Democrat has introduced legislation that would change coastal regulations that now prohibit energy facilities within 500 feet of the high tide line.

Van Drew says the restrictions are outdated, and that easing rules on environmentally friendly sources of power makes economic sense.
"Every time we put a windmill in, or a solar panel field, we're relying on Mideast oil that much less," he said.
The idea has support from some environmental groups and the president of Steel Pier in Atlantic City, who is lobbying to build five windmills to power all the pier's attractions. State environmental officials couldn't be reached Friday as government offices were closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.
David Pringle of the New Jersey Environmental Federation says despite concerns over the impact of windmills on migratory birds, the structures are less invasive than large housing developments, casinos or other structures built on piers. Pringle says current restrictions on clean energy are too stringent.
"They (state government) hold clean renewables like wind energy to a higher standard than the Borgata (casino) or a large housing development," he said. "That doesn't pass the straight-face test."
The proposal comes as New Jersey, which already uses windmill power in parts of Atlantic City and elsewhere, is attempting to become a leader in wind power.
There's a plan to build a $1 billion wind farm in the Atlantic Ocean about 16 miles southeast of Atlantic City. And the federal government gave four companies permission to start exploring whether wind off the coast of New Jersey and Delaware can be harnessed to make electricity.
