The Golden Malrin® Fly Bait two-phase action knocks out nuisance flies quickly and effectively. First, Muscamone® fly attractant draws flies in. Then, as they feed on the sugar-based bait, the active ingredient methomyl delivers the final blow, killing flies after ingestion. Golden Malrin® bait provides excellent control of nuisance flies for commercial and other rural applications as well as dumpsters, meat and poultry plants and more. Golden Malrin® bait can be applied directly from the container or can be placed into a bait station such as the Starbar® Fly Bait Station.
With the active ingredient, Dinotefuran, QuikStrike® Fly Bait kills nuisance flies quickly and controls those resistant to carbamate and pyrethrin baits and sprays. Its homogenous formulation contains Z-9 tricosene to attract flies and can be used daily where flies are a problem.
Scatter baits are an effective and economical fly control method for areas with high fly populations. Flies are drawn in by the powerful attractants and die rapidly after feeding on the bait. The Starbar® Fly Bait Station makes the use of scatter baits easy by reducing the associated mess and exposure concerns due to spreading the bait over the open ground where children, pets and livestock may come in contact. Simply use one ounce of product per bait station.

While I was a bit too preoccupied at ASUS's press conference to really pay attention to the details of its products (you can find said details here), later in the day, I headed over to the ASUS booth on the MWC show floor to check out the Padfone Infinity and the Fonepad.
The Padfone Infinity was first on my list. After a few minutes with the phone portion, I wasn't particularly impressed, but I wasn't appalled, either. While the Snapdragon 600 processor moves the Padfone's... phone... along quickly, I don't really know what else to say about it - the device feels relatively solid, but looks exceptionally generic.

Don't take this the wrong way, I have no idea what really happened.
Hypothetical only:
From my experience, when someone waits that long to eject, there's a certain amount of pride involved.
The old joke in the fighter community was:
"I rather die than make an a$$ of myself."
It really wasn't that much of a joke.

That's odd. I've always heard Eagle Drivers say that the best thing to do if an F-15 departs on you is hands off the stick, and ride the spin out. Why didn't that work here?...or was he fighting the controls?
I wonder why he didn't punch tanks?...and 586 AGL beyond the specifications for a safe ejection in an ACES II? That doesn't compute with me either.
This is definitely one of the stranger Eagle mishap fatalities that I've known about.
That altitude may be within the specs for ACES II, but he was going down really fast, too.

If a jet is out of control you have a problem. Hopefully, you can solve it with altitude and time. You don't jettison tanks in an out of control situation because you don't one or two additional problems to deal with namely two additional pieces of heavy metal in close proximity that are also out of control and now able to hit your jet.
Ejection seats have designed operation envelopes just like airplanes. Descent rates can easily exceed that design envelope. Recommended ejection altitude for an uncontrolled situation is 6000' AGL.
Outlaw is probably correct to some extent....but I don't think that the plane was being flown recklessly and the pilot was trying to correct a mistake.

I don't fly but admire the folks selected to fly our fighters.
There is a lot of sh*t that can happen in flight at any given time and a lot of emergency procedures that need to be remembered and accomplished, and then the situation still may not be remedied!
In this incident the pilot had numerous hours in the jet and was trying everything in his power to regain control. Since the F-15 is very sensitive to hi AOA departures, I'm assuming the switches he was looking for was roll/pitch ratio to emergency or trying to turn CAS off … all whilst spinning out of control!
Reminds me of an incident that happened at MO back in the day with F-111s. Upon take-off the right hatch popped open. Both pilot and WSO were trying to close it without paying attention to flying the jet. Yes it was a class A
Point is … no one wants to dust off a jet for s**ts and grins and will do everything to recover. Sometimes "time" just isn't on your side.

There's a certain amount of self-imposed pressure in a loss of control situation that doesn't exist, for example, in a single engine fighter when the engine shells out. In a way, one situation is "you" against "you" & the other is "you" against the airplane.
In a "loss" of control situation, you're probably leaving a perfectly good aircraft from a fairly high altitude (if you adhere to the guidance) with a lot more room left to work, and doing it voluntarily, whereas without an engine in a single engine fighter, if you're not in a position to conduct a flame out landing or, as in some earlier jets if it was not recommended, you have no choice. It's easy.
As F-16guy says, a loss of control certainly doesn't imply reckless operation or even necessarily a mistake. The guy involved had to have been an exceptional aviator or he wouldn't have been an aggressor pilot.
But in your chosen line of work you are still potentially meeting a board over the destruction of a perfectly good machine. You want to give yourself every possible chance to recover. It's a fine line. You would like to continue in your chosen line of work.
The F-4 unit I was in lost only two F-4's, both to loss of control accidents. In both cases they were maneuvering on the defensive against A-7's. In both cases the crews delayed their ejections until well below the minimum recommended loss of control bailout altitude (back then with the older systems, it was 10,000 AGL). Fortunately every one made it (a couple with non-critical injuries, broken bones, etc.)
The common themes here (and probably in many other accidents of this type) were, first, the pilot's high level of confidence in his ability to handle the situation, and second, the underlying negative motivation to stick with the aircraft and bring it home safely.
("I hope nobody notices the collapsed drag chute when I land.")
The flying safety guys pound the "timely ejection" thing into you, but they know.
There needs to be a hold harmless way to remove the "negative motivation" factors. Make sure the folks know they get plenty of credit for leaving the machine at 6000 AGL if necessary. I don't think you'd have any more or any less loss of control accidents, just more survivors. (I know, it's easy for me to say, because I don't have to answer to anyone.)
BTW, one of the F-4 pilots when asked by the board what he thought was the cause of the accident, simply held up both of his hands, and said "these, sir". The board was entirely satisfied, and the pilot, who was also exceptional, flew for many more years.

(for sferrin: For those keeping score at home, and had this been the real thing, those A-7's would have been credited with 2 maneuvering kills on fighter aircraft.)

Actually, in a way, I think what I'm getting at is the sky below you doesn't do you a d@mn bit of good if you're no longer in the airplane.

Upon take-off the right hatch popped open. Both pilot and WSO were trying to close it without paying attention to flying the jet.
The pilot that was killed was a FAIP with me. He was going through F-111 Initial Qual at the time of the accident.

My Variax horror story from last nights gig
Like (0)
It's all my own stupid fault but halfway through Led Zeppelin's - Dazed & Confused my Cherry Sunburst JTV-59 suddenly changed sound and tuning so I looked down and realised the battery had died. Luckily we were in a part where a little bit of jamming was appropriate and I swapped for my Tobacco Sunburst JTV-59 and continued. We play in Eb but I tune normally and drop it to Eb so that's why I went out of tune. A few songs later we're playing Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath and the battery on that one died so we extended the quiet bit a bit longer while I tuned down to Eb and was able to finish the night.
Two lessons learned -
1) Check batteries
2) Tune to Eb just in case.
Anybody else got a live gig Variax horror story?
Frankly, as gig horror stories go, that's not too bad... Judging from your title, when I opened the post, I expected something much worse.
If you guys play in Eb tune the guitar in Eb, you can't go wrong you can switch to the magnetic pickups in case of a battery problem.
I tune to Eb due to the band I'm in you just have to think a little if you set up custom tunings on the guitar for different songs.
For the first year I did tune to Eb but I got complacent and decided to let the guitar do it for me. I've just done a setlist in my HD500 and got it changing sounds and tunings on my JTV-59 so I've got to make sure my battery is charged.
I don't understand....
You have an HD500 and JTV, and the HD500 is changing sounds and tunings on the JTV therefore must be using a VDI cable.
The VDI cable provides power from HD500 to JTV and you don't need to have the battery in the JTV at all.
I have mine taken out but in the gig bag with a standard cable just in case I have to plug into a normal amp.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

INDIANAPOLIS (LIN) – For most of us, owning a Jason Wu anything is financially impossible. His designs have graced the red carpet and fashion runways, but have really never been obtainable by the general public. With prices in the $2000 range for simple dresses or tops, most people are likely to shy away.
On Feb. 5, all that will change. Jason Wu releases his "Wu for Target" line, available only for a short period of time, with dresses, separates and accessories ranging in price from $19.99-$59.99.
Wu's pieces in this collection are simple, with good lines and bright colors. They are casual enough to wear every day, to work or for fun, and the prices seem to be more than reasonable for this quality of designer. Missing are the runway frills, lace and frippery, delightfully replaced by straight edges, boxy purses and playful designs.
"My goal was not to duplicate anything from my main collection... Instead I designed completely new clothes and accessories that reflect my taste and have a voice of their own," Wu shared with the New York Times.
There is a whim of late 60s Euro-style fashion, hip and cool, yet soft and sweet.
This line will only be available from Feb. 5 to March 6. Will there be another bit of fashion chaos like "Missoni at Target" and "Versace at H & M?" Most likely, yes. You might see me camping out at the nearest Target when Wu's line hits the racks, and perhaps I'll see you there.
Milan Fashion Week:
I have basically one thing to say about Milan this year. Prada wins all fashion shows forever more. It, of course, has no bearing on the fact that I am head over heels for Gary Oldman or Adrien Brody. Not one bit.
Involving actors in runway shows is not a new thing, but Prada's over-the-top line-up of thespians this year premiering their menswear line is pure genius. See more of this show's highlights over at GQ.

Firefighters use Harlem Shake to plug smoke alarm test
11:30am Tuesday 5th March 2013 in News
SOUTH Wales Fire and Rescue Service has joined in the Harlem Shake craze to promote the importance of testing smoke alarms.
Staff members across the service used the current viral craze in a video to promote the 'test your smoke alarm' message.
The video features staff dancing to the latest trend and holding 'test your smoke alarm' umbrellas, smoke alarms and smoke alarm testit sticks to promote the message: "Test your smoke alarm on test-it Tuesday."
Chief fire officer at South Wales Fire and Rescue Service Huw Jakeway said: "The message within the video is a simple but serious one – test your smoke alarms once a week – it could save your life. A big well-done to everyone involved."

Morning all,
After a brief flirtation with the Empire at the start of 8th, I'm thinking about getting back into Warhammer with my perennial faves, the Vampire Counts. Being a resourceful fellow (not to mention a touch skint) I'm going to use Mantic's Undead range to build the core, with a few token GW purchases for elements not yet covered elsewhere as and when I want them.
After a quick search on the web I found a Mantic boxed set that would provide me with 40 Skeletons, 30 Zombies, 20 Revenants (Grave Guard) and 20 Ghouls. A rummage around various bits boxes revealed a wraith, a banshee, a (very old) Vampire and a Wight King conversion based on the old Krell model, alongside 6 metal Chaos Hounds to be proxied as Direwolves and 5 Black Knights that I cobbled together using Empire and Zombie parts years ago. At a push, I can proxy my Amethyst wizard as a Necromancer.
I'll be buying the army book at the weekend, but does this seem like a reasonable start to an army or am I buying a lot of models that would be useless in game terms? I'm thinking of expanding the cavalry side of the army once the core is painted by getting 20 or so of Mantic's Revenant Knights and would probably include another unit of Ghouls if that helps to give a picture of where I can see this army going, but any other suggestions would be welcome.
Apologies to the mods if this is in the wrong section - feel free to move it as necessary.

This paper describes the patient journey mapping tool and frameworks used in the Managing two worlds together (MTWT) project. Through interviews and focus groups with patients, their carer/family, and health care providers, the paper explores the barriers and enablers, gaps and strategies in relation to the journeys of country Aboriginal patients from rural and remote locations to city hospitals and their return. The primary aim of the MTWT project is to enhance existing knowledge of the strengths, and areas of improvement, in the care of Aboriginal patients from rural and remote areas of South Australia by exploring what happens when they come to Adelaide for hospital care. The project is comprised of two stages, with Stage 1 focusing on the problems, and Stage 2 focusing on solutions. The patient journey mapping tools are the first output of Stage 2.

Boston Metropolitan Area
WebMD has identified 362 Eye Doctors in the Boston area (8 counties and 418 zip codes).
A Visit to the Eye Doctor
Think you don't need to see an eye doctor because your vision is fine? Think again.
Eye exams aren't only for people with poor vision. They're an important way of detecting eye problems before you have symptoms. Eye doctors can also catch other health problems -- like diabetes -- early.
If it's been more than a few years since your last appointment -- or if you've never had one -- it's time to schedule a trip to the eye doctor.
What to Bring to the Eye Doctor
- Your glasses or contacts (if you wear them)
- You may want to not wear your contacts for a few days prior to the visit to allow for more precise measurements -- ask the doctor's office when you make the appointment
- A list of any health conditions or allergies
- A list of all medications and supplements that you take
- A list of any specific questions you have about your eye health
- Your insurance information -- most policies will cover some eye care

System type
The type of camera system this model belongs to - different systems have different ranges of compatible lenses.
Resolution Mp
The measured effective resolution, in megapixels. This sometimes differs very slightly from the manufacturer's claimed figure.
Sensor size (inches)
Most condumer DSLRs have relatively similar sensor sizes. APS-C sized sensors are 1/0.9 inches, though four-thirds and micro four-thirds sensors are smaller, at 1/1.17 inches. Generally, larger sensors give better results in low light.
Optical zoom range (mm)
When the lens is fitted to this camera, the optical zoom changes.
Weight (g) with lens
With kit lens, lens cap, strap, battery and memory card.
Image stabilisation
Image stabilisation sharpens images that might otherwise be blurry (due to hand shake). Refers to built-in image stabilisation. Lenses sometimes have image stabilisation built-in. When the kit lens has image stabilisation, it is noted.
Test programme date
We change and improve our testing and scoring procedure on an annual basis, so cameras tested in different years aren't directly comparable
Live View
Live View lets you compose a shot on the LCD screen, previewing picture settings.
HDMI output
An HDMI output allows you to connect the camera to an HD TV to watch videos in high definition - you will also need an HDMI cable, which may not be included with the camera.
Scene Modes
Face detection
Face detection lets the camera intelligently focus on and expose faces detected within a shot - it only works in automatic mode, usually.
Manual focus
Useful when the autofocus doesn't work or focusses on the wrong thing. Manual focussing is done using the ring on the lens.
Max manually selectable ISO
Setting a high ISO setting helps you to achieve good dim light pictures, without flash. Noise increases though.
Movie mode
720p, 1080i and 1080p are all high definition recording resolutions, though 1080p, or 'full-HD' is more detailed and tends to be the smoothest.
Stabilisation in Movie Mode
Some DSLRs allow you to use the image stabiliser during movie recording, if there is a mechanical stabiliser in the lens or body of the camera.
External Mic input
Some DSLRs allow you to connect an external microphone to improve sound quality during movie recording
Shutter delay close
The time it takes for the camera to take the picture, after you have pressed the button from a completely unpressed position (as opposed to a half-pressed position which cuts shutter delay considerably). Subject is close.
Shutter delay far
The time it takes for the camera to take the picture, after you have pressed the button from a completely unpressed position (as opposed to a half-pressed position which cuts shutter delay considerably). Subject is farther away and lens is zoomed in.
Start-up time (s)
When you switch the camera on, there is usually a delay before the camera is ready to take a picture
Shot-to-shot time (single shot mode)
After taking a shot in single shot mode, there is usually a delay before the camera is ready to take the next shot. The time shown is the delay measured when no flash is used (this delay is normally longer).
Shot-to-shot time (burst mode)
Many cameras can take several shots a second in burst mode. Our test data is for the average time between sequential shots using a total burst of ten shots in a row.
Focusing (Auto)
We rate the speed and accuracy of the camera's autofocus system - this is dependent on the tested kit lens as well as the body of the camera.
Operating speed
A total score for the camera's speed in being ready to take a shot, its speed between shots, and how quickly it can autofocus and take a shot.
Image Stabilisation
How well the camera's mechanical image stabiliser can compensate for trembling motions, reducing image blur.
Video sound quality
We judge the quality of sound captured on the camera's internal microphone.
Overall video quality
A total assessment of the camera's video quality in various lighting conditions, taking into account sharpness, focusing, colour accuracy and smoothness.
Face Detection effectiveness
We judge the camera's ability to intelligently focus and expose multiple faces at different distances. Not all DSLRs have face detection.
Picture Resolution
We judge the sharpness of photos taken over a variety of ISO settings and in different light conditions.
Low light picture quality
Some cameras perform much better than others in low light conditions. Poorer-performing cameras tend to display more graininess, and colours can be murky.
Overall picture quality
A total rating for the camera's picture quality based on our extensive testing.

The prosecution opened their case Thursday in the William Wesley Wilder trial. Wilder, 41, has been charged with first-degree rape (victim under 12 years of age), first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy (victim under age 12), first-degree sodomy, first-degree sexual abuse (victim under age 12), and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
During opening statements, Commonwealth Attorney Karen Greene Blondell went through each individual charge for the jury via a power-point presentation. The seven counts involve two separate girls, who will be referred to as alleged victim one and alleged victim two. Six of the charges involve victim one and one sexual abuse charge involves victim two.
Blondell stated she would show proof that between 2004 through 2010 the alleged victims lived with Wilder along with their mother, who was married to Wilder for several years, in Brownies Creek community.
She said evidence would show that throughout the home, while the mother was away to work, Wilder had sexual intercourse with alleged victim one multiple times between 2004 and 2010. She also said there were instances involving sodomy.
Alleged victim two never had sexual intercourse with Wilder but was allegedly improperly touched by him.
Blondell stated another alleged incident occurred that involved the improper touching of another child in 2007 (alleged victim three) while on a routine summer trip to visit her father. The child currently lives in Texas and no charges were ever pressed in the incident.
Blondell introduced the names of several professional witnesses including Jackie Crawford, Beth Shaw and Tracy Miller.
One key witness in the case was the mother of alleged victims one and two. While the mother was at the stand, Blondell introduced exhibits two through seven into evidence. The exhibits were photos of alleged victim one from age 10 through 15, which were the ages when the alleged events occurred.
The mother testified that 2010 was the year, while eating at a McDonald's, that alleged victim one told her mother about the alleged abuse involving Wilder. After a confrontation with Wilder involving the allegations, Wilder never attempted to return to the home, according to the mother.
Another key witness for the day was Crawford. He has been licensed to practice medicine since 1999 and worked alongside an advocacy center in London.
Crawford was the doctor that performed a gynecological examine on alleged victim one in August 2010. He testified that from the examine that the alleged victim had sexual intercourse several times.
He testified the scaring that was found were not "fresh" meaning it had not been done recently. In cross-examination, Crawford told defense attorney James Hodge that there was no evidence of sexual assault recently.
Alleged victim three also took the stand for the prosecution. The alleged victim testified that while her and Wilder were sitting on the couch, he put his hand up her shirt and grabbed her breast.
After telling him to stop, Wilder allegedly attempted to do it a second time. The alleged victim told her cousin who in turn told other family members. Alleged victim three left the house and never went back again, according to testimony.
The alleged victim also testified that Wilder had been drinking alcohol when the alleged incident occurred.
One key witness during cross-examination for Hodge was a male juvenile. In earlier testimony, it was mentioned that the juvenile had angrily confronted Wilder after finding out what he had allegedly done to alleged victim one. It was also stated that the juvenile willing stayed with the mother of alleged victims one and two. Blondell had also mentioned that this juvenile had been the one to encourage alleged victim one to tell her mother about the alleged acts.
When brought to the stand, the juvenile denied giving any encouragement to the alleged victim. He also denied having an angry confrontation with Wilder and spitting on him. When asked about leaving from the house, the juvenile said he did not have a way to leave.
The juvenile also stated that he had sex with alleged victim one at least 15 times. Blondell stated that testimony will show that the two only had one sexual encounter with each other.
The juvenile told Hodges the alleged victim enjoyed being around Wilder and that she would get mad anytime he and Wilder were alone together.
After nearly four hours of testimony, Bell County Circuit Court Judge Robert Costanzo adjourned for the day. The trial will pick up at 10 a.m. today. The Daily News will have more coverage on this trial in the weekend edition of the paper.

A lot of people have money issues for different reasons. Sometimes financial situations arise that demand extreme measures. Cash advance loans can be a good way to get the money you need to quickly pull through such difficulties. However, there are potential pitfalls to this method. You'll find some suggestions below that will be an excellent start to your payday loan education; with their help it will be easier to decide whether or not this is the sort of loan for you.
Anyone who is considering accepting a payday loan must have a good idea of when it can be repaid. If you cannot repay them right away there will be a lot of interest added to your balance.
Anyone who requires quick cash and who lacks other options may find cash advance loans to be the answer. However, these people should realize exactly what they entail prior to applying for these loans. The exorbitant interest and fees that are typical of these loans can make repayment difficult.
Make sure you know exactly how much your payday loan will cost before you get one. It can be quite surprising to realize the actual amount of fees charged by payday lenders. Don't be afraid to simply ask the company about the interest rates.
Payday loans are available in various amounts. How much you make typically sets your limits. Lenders calculate the amount you can borrow based on your income. You should only take a payday loan if it is an emergency
Firms pop up all the time offering payday advances. These types of loans involve quick money without a credit check. The loan is for a short time; you have to pay it back quickly. Though these types of loans can be lifesavers in some ways, they also tend to carry extremely high interest rates for repayment.
Know what fees the payday lenders charge before doing business with them. As an example, you may get a loan for two hundred dollars and there is a lender fee also attached for thirty dollars. The annual percentage rate for this kind of loan is about 400%. If you cannot pay back the loan completely with your next paycheck, the fees will go even higher.
Use payday/cash advance loans minimally. If you are in trouble, think about seeking the help of a credit counselor. Many people are forced to go into bankruptcy with cash advances and payday advances. Be aware that it might be most prudent to avoid taking out even one payday loan.
False Information
When filling out your paperwork for a payday loan, make sure your information is accurate. You might think that false information can help get you the loan, but payday lenders are geared towards helping people with low credit scores and less stable jobs. It can only damage your loan prospects if you put false information on the loan application.
With the information you've just learned with regards to cash advance loans, you are now ready to put forth that information to get the best deal for your situation. You should not have to worry about money problems. There are many payday lenders to choose from so be sure to do your homework to get the best deal.

Virtual Canary in the Digital Mine #3: Total Pre-Cull (Part 1 of 3), Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Predictive Coding
Presented by AccessData
In a land that is right here and in a time that is right now, a technology has arisen so powerful that it can replace basic human document review. Is it time to bow down before our new robot overlords?First, here's a little story about me: my life in the legal world began as a paralegal. My first case was a GIANT patent infringement case that was already six years old and had involved as many as five companies, multiple US courts, the ITC and an international standards committee. I knew nothing about any of this.
On my first day, my supervisor (a paralegal with at least eight other cases driving her crazy) sat me down in front of a Concordance database with a 100,000+ patents and patent file histories. "Code these," she said. I learned that "coding", for the purposes of this exercise, meant manually typing the inventor's name, the title of the patent, the assignee, the file date, and other objective data for each document. I worked on that project – and only that project – for at least the first six months of my job. After a week or so, time began to blur.
What I know, in retrospect and with absolutely certainty, is that as time began to blur, so did my judgment. So did my attention to detail. If you could tell me that I did not make at least one mistake a day – one inconsistent spelling, one reversed day and month, one incorrectly spaced title – I frankly would need to see your evidence. I would not believe it. The human mind is trainable but it is not a machine.

Fitzgerald talks transit and jobs at Chamber Breakfast
Category: Business Written by Christian Morrow - Courier Staff Writer
As always, when Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald speaks at the African American Chamber of Commerce PowerBreakfast, it's a command performance.
But his April 19 appearance was even more so. Not only were all the county government department heads present, but so were Fitzgerald's parents, as was former Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Director Kathleen McGinty, who recently announced her candidacy for governor.
Fitzgerald almost immediately spoke of shoring up the Port Authority of Allegheny County, noting his part in helping to avoid a 33 percent service cut last year. But he wants to do more.
"U-Haul just released its report that said more people are moving to Pittsburgh than any other destination in the country right now, so I'd like to see us get to where rather than just maintaining service, we can expand again," he said.
He said the residents of the Hill District, Uptown, and Oakland should have the same rapid transit options that commuters from the South Hills have with the T, especially given plans to revitalize that corridor with business, retail and housing development. But there's a catch—cost.
"That tunnel under the river was the last of the 80-percent federally-funded transit deals. If you want light rail in the Hill, you'll have to wait 15 years because that's how long it will take us to raise the $1.5 billion that would be our share," he said.
"But Bus Rapid Transit is basically rail on wheels; dedicated lanes, timetables, stations. It could be done for a tenth the cost, in less than four years. The Rockefeller Foundation just recommended four cities for BRT, Pittsburgh was one of them."
Fitzgerald praised the growth in the city and surrounding areas, praising the development in Pittsburgh's Hill District, East Liberty, Larimer and Bloomfield. He also noted companies upgrading facilities and expanding to meet new orders created by Marcellus Shale development, like Dura bond, a pipe company in Duquesne and US Steel with the $750 million upgrade to its Clairton Coke Works.
"Workforce development is key to getting our people especially those in the African-American community ready for these jobs," he said. "We have Alex Johnson over at CCAC working on that."
Fitzgerald also said since he has become county executive, more African-Americans are being included.
"With African-Americans historically underrepresented on authorities and boards, 26 percent of my appointees are African-Americans and 17 percent of county employees are African-Americans," he said.
He summed up by saying he would be holding a forum with Black Political Empowerment Project founder Tim Stevens at Duquesne University on May 13 focusing on compelling private corporations to adopt a "Rooney Rule" when interviewing for top executive positions.
Chamber President and CEO Doris Carson Williams thanked Fitzgerald and his parents for coming and reminded members that the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement executives still needs volunteers to help with its National Conference, which is coming to Pittsburgh in August.
"And our annual meeting and luncheon is May 1 at the Omni William Penn hotel," she said. "And our mayoral candidates forum is the following day right here at the Rivers Club. We'll open at 4 p.m. and begin at 4:30. All the candidates have confirmed."

Internet sales tax: What you need to know
Category: Business Written by Courier Newsroom
by Chris Isidore
Many online purchases could soon be more expensive, if a long-debated Internet sales tax law advances through Congress.
The law would allow 45 states and the District of Columbia to demand that online retailers collect sales tax on purchases.
Estimates are that consumers would be spending between $12 billion to $23 billion more a year due to the increased tax collection.
Here's what you need to know about the current law on online purchase and what would happen under the legislation:
When is an Internet retailer required to collect sales tax under current law?
Essentially states can only demand that online retailers that have a physical presence in their states—such as a store, a warehouse or a factory—collect sales taxes on purchases by residents of that state. Technically people who buy goods online tax free are supposed to make sales tax payments on those purchases to their home state. But estimates are that only about 1 percent of buyers comply with those widely unenforced laws.
Who would pay sales tax under the proposed legislation?
Sellers with more than $1 million a year in sales would be responsible for collecting the tax from buyers in the 45 states plus D.C. that currently charge sales tax. Even if an online retailer provides "tax-free" purchases as a way of attracting customers, the way many now offer free shipping, it would be responsible for paying the sales taxes to the various states.
That would likely raise the cost of the item charged consumers.
How much in taxes will be paid?
This is tough to say. The most widely quoted study shows that there would be $12 billion in taxes, but that study is from 2009 and online purchases have risen significantly since then. Some estimates are that tax collection could be nearly double that amount. The highest statewide sales tax is the 7.5 percent rate in California, but local sales taxes raise the rate to about 10 percent in some locations.
Who is supporting the legislation?
The National Retail Federation is one of the most active voices in support of the proposal, as it is concerned its brick- and-mortar members are losing sales to online competitors. Amazon.com, the largest online retailer, is also backing the bill. It is expanding the number of warehouses nationwide, so most Americans already pay sales tax on their Amazon purchases. So Amazon doesn't want a competitive disadvantage with other online retailers that have a smaller geographic footprint.
Who is opposing the proposal?
Many online retailers are opposed, saying it would create an administrative nightmare to comply with the law, and that higher taxes would hurt their sales. On Sunday, eBay CEO John Donahoe sent an e-mail message to millions of users asking them to contact members of Congress. The e-mails went to eBay members who simply buy online in addition to its millions of sellers. Donahoe advocates a threshold of $10 million in annual sales or 50 employees before an online retailer would have to start collecting sales taxes.
What is the status of the legislation?
The legislation has strong bipartisan support, with the lead sponsors in both houses being Republicans. But it has never been able to get out of committee for a vote on the floor of either chamber before now. Democrat Max Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, has kept the legislation from advancing. Baucus is from Montana, one of the five states without a sales tax.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has taken the unusual step of bypassing the Finance panel, and scheduled a procedural vote on the measure in the Senate later Monday. The legislation could be in its final form later this week, though a vote might not come until after the coming recess.
Passage in the House is less certain, but the measure does have bipartisan support there as well. Norton Francis, senior research associate of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Institute, said that even members of the House Republican leadership support the plan.

Time to embrace blackopoliticonomics
Category: Business Written by James Clingman
(NNPA)—As George Benson sang in Moody's Mood, "There I go, there I go, there I go…" making up words again. I couldn't resist this one in light of our penchant to choose sides when it comes to economics versus politics. It seems we cannot understand, nor act upon, the fact that by combining the two disciplines and leveraging the resulting power from such a sensible strategy we could build a stronger base and finally put an end to being ignored and taken for granted.
So I made up this word in an effort to indoctrinate us, to condition us, to program us, or whatever you want to call it, so that Black people can stop being sacrificial lambs led to the political and economic slaughter.
We do not have to choose between the two, but as I always say, if I had to choose I would definitely take economics over politics. Why? Isn't it obvious that while politics runs most of our lives (because we have no real economic base) it certainly does not run the lives of those who are economically empowered?
Whatever Wall Street wants Wall Street gets. The stock market hits record highs; but Black people are sinking lower in net worth and income. Black people are too busy watching the Wives of … or Scandal, or all of those BET Award shows to recognize the subordinated consumer-oriented role we are playing in the economy. Like sister Sweet Brown said about the fire on YouTube, "Ain't nobody got time for that!"
As the war machine cranks up once again, the moneychangers are rubbing their greedy hands together in anticipation of another windfall from supplying the tools of war, the food for the troops, the equipment, the uniforms, and all the accoutrements necessary to dispose of those pesky Koreans, Syrians, and Iranians.
This is the country of the Golden Rule—He who has the gold makes the rules. Blacks aren't making any rules; we are just playing by them, and being used as grist for profit mill. Sadly, some of us are so entrenched in the political shenanigans in Washington, so enamored by the celebrity of our president and those with whom he socializes, that we either ignore the weightier things in life or simply refuse to listen, even though we know that the road we are on leads to destruction.
Just watch the dueling news channels, MSNBC and Fox, and you will get a steady dose of Obama love and Obama hate. He can hardly do any wrong on MSNBC and can seldom, if ever, do anything right on Fox. I often wonder if these newscasters have a life outside of the bashing they do of each other's political parties. Even sadder is the fact that Black people, who have little or no skin in the game, take sides and start fighting one another over emotional rhetoric centered on who likes or dislikes the POTUS and his policies.
It makes little sense for us to spend 90 percent of our capital and time on 10 percent of our problem, as Khalid Al-Mansour suggested in his book, Betrayal by any Other Name. When it comes to choosing instead of combining and leveraging, Al-Mansour says, "Blacks feel helpless because they hear so many conflicting voices and so much empty rhetoric. It's easy to throw up one's hands, get drunk, and have another baby. The African-American has been hearing about the problem and the solution since he can remember and yet, his condition always continues to disintegrate."
We get a daily dose of political rhetoric and hardly ever take any economic medicine; it's no wonder that many Black people see no way out of our economic/political dilemma. We have chosen political rhetoric over practical tried-and-true economic initiatives to free us from psychological bondage—a prescription that has not and does not work.
The political hacks are doing what they do because they get paid to do it, not because they necessarily believe in everything they promote. Our problem is allowing these jokers to dominate our thinking and our actions, as though what they say, or who they support, or what ideology they promote will move Black people to a position of real power rather than mere influence. And if that happens at all, whatever influence we attain will have to be channeled through them, because they are the political gatekeepers.
As Malcolm said, "…you are chumps…" when it comes to politics; and I say we are pawns when it comes to economics. However, if we combine politics with economics and not be led around by the ears by so-called leaders who only care about themselves, their political connections, and the money they make from selling us down the road, we will be much better off than we are now.
So, turn off the television and start reading more, start learning more for yourself, and start initiating and participating in efforts, where you live, to combine and leverage your collective economic and political clout—a winning strategy for sure. In other words, start practicing "Blackopoliticonomics."

Kirk Cameron provokes with anti-gay comments
3/3/2012Kirk Cameron alarmed GLAAD and all 12 of his fans after making statements on CNN against not just gay marriage but the existence of homosexuality. "I think it's unnatural, I think it's detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization," he said. When asked what he would say if one of his own children was gay, he answered, "Just because you feel one way doesn't mean we should act on everything that we feel." GLAAD tells TMZ that Cameron is "out of step with a vast majority of Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on their character and not condemned because of their sexual orientation."

Regulations have been adjusted this year in New Jersey to permit anglers to cut strips from a legal-size fluke for bait while retaining the carcass. Fluke fishermen have long been aware that it's hard to beat a strip of fluke as bait for that species. In years past, a small fluke was sacrificed for that purpose, but that's been highly illegal ever since a minimum size was imposed. Most fluke pros would be satisfied to be able to legally use fluke ribbons (the ribbon-like portion at the top of a fillet that's often lost in skinning if not cut away to serve as a prime strip during the next trip), but Law Enforcement has resisted efforts of the Council to make that exception.

As a senior staff scientist at the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco, Paul Doherty has taught kids, high school teachers and the audience of the Late Show with David Letterman about physics. But when he visited India last year, he had a different set of students: monks and nuns.
Doherty is part of Science for Monks, a program run by the Sager Family Foundation in Boston and the Library of Tibetan Works & Archives in Dharamsala, India. The two groups partnered after the Dalai Lama asked them to bring science education to exiled Tibetan monastic communities. In December, Doherty taught 18 monks and nuns who have completed their Tibetan monastic education. And this May, nine monks and nuns visited the Exploratorium to put on an exhibit called "The World of Your Senses" that delves into views of sensory perception.
"They are the best learners on Earth," says Doherty, who has a Ph.D. in physics from MIT. "I was in awe."
Doherty has a long-standing interest in education. In the 1970s, he started studying how computers could help students learn physics. After visiting the Exploratorium in 1982, he was so impressed by the science exhibits that he asked physicist Frank Oppenheimer, the museum's founder, to hire him.
For Science for Monks, Doherty traveled to the College for Higher Tibetan Studies near Dharamsala, where he taught physics concepts such as relativity and the nature of particles. His lessons on perception often overlapped with Buddhist ideas and prompted challenging questions, such as whether the ink inside a red pen — where no one can see it — is still red.
His students also showed a playful side: During an exercise with a "telephone" made of two cups and a string, one monk dropped his iPhone into the cup and sent music to another monk. "When they learned something new, they were not shy about laughing out loud," says Doherty. "For me, that was a joy." —Roberta KwokExperiments to contemplate
