Senator Chuck Grassley today sent a letter to a Pittsburgh law firm asking for the rationale behind a video posted on www.youtube.com that advises participants in a seminar on how to bypass qualified American workers when hiring foreign employees. Specifically in the video the firm advises businesses "to meet the requirements as inexpensively as possible, keeping in mind our goal. And our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. In a sense that sounds funny, but it's what we're trying to do here."
A letter was also sent to Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao asking about the level of fraud monitoring done at the Department.
Grassley sent the letters with Rep. Lamar Smith.
Here is a copy of the letter to the law firm as well as the letter to Chao.
June 21, 2007
Cohen & Grigsby
11 Stanwix Street
15th Floor
Pittsburgh, PA 15222-1319
To Whom It May Concern:
As members of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, we have a responsibility to oversee and evaluate our country's visa programs. We have become increasingly concerned about fraud and abuse of the H-1B program, and the impact of this program on American workers.
While many companies insist that they are not participating in fraud, many are finding loopholes around government rules and regulations in order to bring in cheaper foreign workers. These loopholes lead to abuse that ultimately displace qualified Americans. The abuse is evident thanks to a video produced by your firm during the Seventh Annual Immigration Law Update Seminar conducted in May 2007 in Pittsburgh.
In the video, Lawrence Lebowitz, director of marketing for your firm clearly states that an employer's goal is "to meet the requirements as inexpensively as possible, keeping in mind our goal. And our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. In a sense that sounds funny, but it's what we're trying to do here." In fact, Mr. Lebowitz states that other members of his team will help employers bypass Americans. The video provides evidence of how your firm recommends employers accomplish this.
The spirit of the H-1B visa program was intended to bring temporary workers to our country to fill a void in the high tech sector, and to enhance the United States' position in the global marketplace. The video made by your firm advises potential employers that they can fulfill Department of Labor PERM certification requirements by advertising the position in places where they will not find the most qualified applicants. Your firm asserts that an employer can advertise in regional publications with limited circulation, while internally listing the job for a foreign worker. We would like you to please explain how this practice does not constitute outright discrimination based on nationality and why your firm so blatantly promotes this type of behavior.
When applications are received, firm members Jennifer Pack and Jennifer Barton tell employers how they can disqualify U.S. applicants based on their resume or by personal interview when the resume lists all requirements of the job posting. Very qualified applicants are brought in for an interview for the sole purpose of finding a basis to disqualify them. Why does your firm undermine the recruitment effort by coaching potential employers to "find a legal basis to disqualify Americans" to hire a foreign worker?
In addition to explaining the video, we respectfully request that your firm provide us with the number of H-1B visa holders who have been petitioned for or hired by your firm in the past five years. We would also appreciate knowing exactly how many and the names of your clients who have been assisted by your firm to bring in H-1B workers.
The H-1B positions are available in limited quantity each year and the PERM certification process was created to fill positions where no qualified U.S. worker is available. Your firm's video advises employers how to hire only foreign labor, while making it nearly impossible for a qualified American worker to get the job. We look forward to hearing from you on how such advice is ethical and does not undermine the programs by enticing fraud and misuse.
Charles E. Grassley Lamar Smith
United States Senator United States Representative
June 21, 2007
The Honorable Elaine Chao
Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20210
Dear Secretary Chao:
Attached, please find a letter that we sent to Cohen & Grigsby about a seminar conducted by their law firm in May of this year. The firm videotaped the Seventh Annual Immigration Law Update Seminar, exposing the blatant disregard for American workers and deliberate attempt to bring in cheaper foreign workers through the H-1B program.
As outlined in our letter, we are concerned that companies are abusing the H-1B program. The video explicitly shows how attorneys are aiding companies in this effort. We seek your assistance in this particular case by reviewing the video and investigating the law firm's unethical procedures and advice to clients.
In addition, we are concerned about the level of fraud monitoring of the H-1B visa program by your Department. Given that the immigration bill before the Senate includes a provision to allow your Department to divert special fraud monitoring funds to other operations, we would like to know how many dollars have been used specifically for H-1B fraud efforts. Specifically, we would like to know:
$ Annually, what is the total amount of funds deposited into the Fraud Fee account under INA Section 286(v)? Of this amount, what amount is provided to the Department of Homeland Security under 286(v)(2)(C)?
$ How have the funds provided pursuant to 286(v)(2)(C) been used in FY2005, FY2006, and thus far in FY2007? How many funds are not expended in a given year?
$ How does the Department plan to spend the remaining dollars left in FY2007?
$ How many complaints have been lodged to the Department of Labor regarding the H-1B visa program? Of these, how many investigations have been opened by the Department in the last year? How many have been closed and why have they been closed?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Charles E. Grassley Lamar Smith
United States Senator U.S. House of Representatives

Ryan Jensen
Cove Manager
I spent my childhood in Northern California and grew up in a home where much of what we ate came from our backyard garden. Wanting to stay connected to food and how it affects our world I studied Environmental Science and Public Policy in College as well us received a degree from Western Culinary Institute.503-943-7339
I have been working directly in the restaurant industry since 2000 and with Bon Appetit since 2005. I have worked at the Adidas Campus and Lewis and Clark College accounts prior to joining the team at UP.
I believe food security on a global level will radically affect us in our lifetime. Having the opportunity to share ways we can all work to support positive change in our food system gives me hope we can face the challenge together. Bon Appetit gives me a chance to have an impact on the purchasing and consumption patterns of future consumers; which is in my mind one of the most critical steps to move us toward a sustainable food future.
Meet Our Team
Tim Green
Cove Head Chef
I have been cooking as long as I can remember my passion for food and the kitchen started when I first picked up a knife and fired up the grill in my uncle's restaurant. My first job taught me not only how to cook, but also how to take pride in the food that I cook.503-943-7339
I have worked in kitchens all over the Portland area. I started with Bon Appetit here at UP back in 2011 and have loved every minute of working here. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I feel very connected to this region and I enjoy working with the local farmers and producers to bring healthy alternatives to the students, staff & faculty of UP.
I am proud to work for Bon Appetit because it is committed to sustainability and sourcing food from local growers and producers. As a chef I also appreciate how bon Appetit encourages culinary creativity on a level not seen in other institutional food service operations.
Kirk Mustain
General Manager
As the General Manager of Bon Appetit here at the University of Portland I am lucky to come to work every day and work side by side with all of the talented and creative staff that work hard to prepare, cook and serve over 4000 meals a day. A University environment is also a refreshing place to work, while we are able to teach the next generation to look at food in a new light, we also learn from the students and their fresh perspectives.503-943-7330 email@example.com
Born and raised in California I have worked in the Foodservice industry since I was 14 years old. I spent 18 years working in kitchens all over the country, studied at culinary school here in Portland and at the CIA in Napa Valley California, the last 15 years I have worked "out-front" managing the operation as a whole.
I have been working for Bon Appetit since 1992; over these past 20+ years I have been proud to watch Bon Appetit truly change food service in this country. Being part of a company that works tirelessly to build better relationships with our farmers and change how food is purchased and prepared keeps me coming back year after year.
James Green
Executive chef
As the Executive Chef here at UP I spend my days not only cooking but also helping to create an environment of success for the amazing staff that works for Bon Appetit. Yes, Bon Appetit is at the top of the game with sustainability and serving healthy, environmentally conscious food. But what pushes me each day, what I am proud of are the relationships that I have been able to foster working here at the University of Portland. Over my years here we have built great relationships with not only the Bon Appetit staff and local farmers and producers but also with the faculty, staff and student body on campus.503-943-7330 email@example.com
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest I started working in my family's restaurant at the age of 12. I learned the business from the ground up; bussing tables, washing dishes and of course cooking on the line. I first started with Bon Appetit at the OHSU campus in 1995, after two years I moved to the University of Portland as the sous chef and have been here ever since.
Each new school year is a chance to start fresh, to re-invent what we do here. I am excited to continue my journey with Bon Appetit and the University of Portland; working closely with the local farmers and producers as well as the staff here to provide the highest quality food available for our clients.
Tamee Flanagan
Operations Manager
I spent my childhood in Indiana and California, but Portland has been my home now for almost 20 years. Some of my best memories as a child were cooking and canning with the family, food has always been an important part of my life but it took me a while to land in foodservice as a career.503-943-7329 firstname.lastname@example.com
I spent years working in various places as a welder, pipefitter and engineer. Before working for Bon Appetit I also spent time as a loan processor, bartender and cook.
I was lucky to join the University of Portland Bon Appetit Family in 1999 and have worked for the company ever since, here and at our OMSI operation. Bon Appetit at UP is more than just a job for me, the people here are my family.
I am proud to work for Bon Appetit because of what the company stands for; healthy and delicious food, made with social impact in mind. I feel fortunate each day to come to work and do my part to serve restaurant quality food while still thinking critically about protecting our resources for my children and our future generations.
Vickie Long
Director of Catering
Born and raised in Huntington Beach California my food service experience started at 17 as a hostess, but my passion for food started when I worked in a 4 star restaurant, serving only the finest cuisine.503-943-7330 email@example.com
Along with attending college and raising a family I have spent 30+ years in the food service industry, the last 16 of which have been with Bon Appetit here at the University of Portland.
I cannot imagine working for another company or at another account. Bon Appetit gives us the knowledge and tools to provide great food but also do our part for a better tomorrow. I have built strong ties with my clients here and am so familiar with their needs that sometimes I feel like I can read their minds. What makes them happy makes me happy. The school and Bon Appetit have more than just a client/provider relationship; we are truly a family.
Shane Winters
Concessions Manager503-943-7330 firstname.lastname@example.com
Brian Armstrong
Catering Operations Manager
I grew up in Virginia, the home of Smithfield ham, blue crabs, and Suffolk peanuts. My passion for food began when I was young in Virginia Beach with my family. Home cooked meals using wholesome ingredients from farmers markets was not as popular back then but it was just as delicious! I received my BS from Old Dominion University while working full time in the food service industry.503-943-7327 firstname.lastname@example.com
After moving to Portland, I began working for Bon Appetit at Reed College in 2012. I love being able to say I serve local, sustainable, environmentally, and ethically conscious food. Seeing a local farmer drop off apples, pears, or wild chanterelles reminds me of the kind of company I work for. Commitment to delicious and real food like I remember from my childhood makes me proud to work for Bon Appetit!
Darrell Veltkamp
Originally from Bozeman Montana, I spent 4 years in the Navy, completing one tour in Vietnam aboard the USS America. After the Navy I attended college at the University of Nevada and graduated in 1975 with a Major in Accounting and minor in Finance & Economics. Before Bon Appetit I worked a number of different jobs; from entry level accounting, to CFO positions in a variety of industries. I first started working with Bon Appetit, here at the University of Portland in 2006.503-943-7330 firstname.lastname@example.com
From my very first job at age 13, working as a dish washer at Montana State University I learned that to do food service right it required hard work, a great product and exceptional service from exceptional people. All of these elements exist in the culture of Bon Appetit. That is why I love working for this company. The mission of Bon Appetit is to provide uncompromising quality; both food and service, a rarity in institutional food service these days.

Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
While it can be difficult to find the perfect flooring contractor Murfreesboro, TN has to offer, it just doesn't have to be. You won't have to spend any of your personal time and effort finding the best contractors. The Flooring Pro Guys work hard to earn our reputation as the most qualified and trustworthy flooring professionals in Murfreesboro. Here are some of the important things you should thought about when employing someone for your flooring project.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
It's a tough thing to find that perfect balance between pricing and value when you are considering hiring a flooring contractor. Always keep in mind that hiring the cheapest contractor will most often end up costing you more due to the poor quality materials used and the poor quality of the job. If you want to make sure that your project only must be done once, you might not really want to hire the cheapest contractor you can find. You can go to the internet to do some research on the various flooring types and their quality before you buy.
If a flooring deal seems too good to be true, there's probably cause for concern. Ensure your service provider stays in business, to protect your warranty's integrity. A warranty isn't worth very much when you have no way to collect on it because the business no longer exist. Get the warranty info in writing before proceeding with the negotiation.
Local References
References for flooring customers who worked with your local contractor before are smart things to acquire. Do not work with any contractor who may have anything less than excellent references to offer. There are a lot of previous customers who're happy to speak with you on our quality of work. The Flooring Pro Guys make sure you get to talk to customers who love the work we've done for them.
Make sure that you contact the references that the flooring contractor gives and be inquisitive on how the crew treated their property. You should always find out how the references' clean up process was handled. A great contractor will probably be competent when it involves returning your property to the way it was before they got started. Working with a contractor who could be careless with your property or furniture should be avoided.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Liability insurance on behalf of the local contractor should be insured before you hire. If there's a pretty high liability insurance policy for flooring in place, you understand that a licensed insurance company has underwritten them as an acceptable risk. Coming to any type of business agreement with contractors who may have no insurance should not be an option. Lawsuits will increase insurance premiums and cost a lot of money to a licensed contractor, therefore a professional contractor will make sure to pay attention to the details.
A simple and important task of verifying a licensed contractor is checking their vehicle for professional signage and advertising content. Do not forget that pretty much anybody can rent a pickup truck or even borrow one. Examining the given phone number can easily be determined to be local or long distance. Ensure you put a call across to the number on their vehicle to decipher just how professionally they answer their calls.
A Quality Flooring Installation
If you will be present at the area where the undertaking is happening, a guru should furnish you with the nitty gritty general directions and will showcase how he can and will handle the chaos. Even when you're not planning to stay on the property, the service provider should still be in a position to draw up and present you with a pre-project plan. When you can anticipate that the undertaking will be done, the calendar and the subtle elements encompassing the task should be given to you. You will absolutely be taken care of throughout the entire project as this is certainly the objective of The Flooring Pro Guys.
Get the full list of processes involved with the project from beginning to its end when working with a flooring contractor. Even though some contractors will do one room at a time, there're those who would rather do the entire property at the same time. Flooring jobs are inherently messy, so find out whether the local contractor will remove the trash daily. Before the mess is created, ask how the cleanup process works after completion.
It's A Messy Job!
How mess is prevented and handled is a service the flooring contractor should have outlined for you. Heavy plastic are used to loosely cover the room by professional flooring contractors. Dust barriers need to be perfect and a professional contractor will have a special technique to effectively ensure the barrier. The room under construction can also be wrapped in red tape stating men are working.
Find out beforehand if the price quotes will cover you for use of plastic drapes to keep children from going into unfinished areas of work. Exposed nails can be a danger to youngsters who aren't properly supervised. Flooring contractors who are professional should be in a position to avoid a possible mishap. The service provider creating a high risk environment is certainly the last thing you want for your kids.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
Professional flooring contractors who have been in business for just about any length of time will know their product lines from memory and be able to quote them for you. He should ensure he has on him a professional portfolio detailing products he has available. They should have the ability to present the advantages and drawbacks of the flooring products they offer and give you price quotes on their products from memory. Those without the knowledge of product lines should be hired with caution.
At the beginning of a project, your service provider should have your specific requirements outlined within the contract to sign. You'll save yourself the possibility of later disputes and expensive rework if you review the contract carefully before you sign it. It might be a smart idea to wait until the contractor has seen all of your wants and worries before you sign any contract. Legal terms could be tricky to decipher, having a legal representative review the contract is good bet for all involved.
It happens more than you may expect, that a customer would like to go with an entirely different color scheme after paint application has already started. Fear of having to redo the work later isn't a reason to select the least expensive stain. The very best possible outcome for your flooring project is what you deserve to have.

Things got a little tense during a match between Rubin Kazan and Terek Grozny.
When the Russian Premier League referee Mikhail Vilkov sent off captain Rizvan Utsyev in the second half, Grozny's PA announcer got a little excited, all for the wrong reasons, and called Vilkov a 'donkey' over the loudspeaker.
Quite obviously the announcement and the incident got caught on camera. You can watch and listen to it in the video above.

Defense Management:
DLA Has Made Progress in Improving Prime Vendor Program, but Has Not Yet Completed All Corrective Actions
GAO-07-396R: Published: Feb 26, 2007. Publicly Released: Feb 26, 2007.

The Department of Defense (DOD) operates a worldwide supply system, with the vast majority of the items being managed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Media reports in October 2005 raised concerns about the use of the prime vendor concept and the prices that DLA was paying for items acquired through a prime vendor, and the House Armed Services Committee held a hearing on the matter on November 9, 2005. As a result of the hearing, DLA officials recognized the need to improve management oversight and internal controls over the program, and they proposed a series of corrective actions. Under the prime vendor concept, DOD relies on a distributor of a commercial product line, who provides that product line and incidental services to customers in an assigned region or area of responsibility. Products or services are to be delivered within a specified period of time after order placement. The prime vendor provides the product either at the cost paid to obtain it or at a price agreed upon in advance with DLA plus a handling fee. The use of prime vendor contracts is governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. DLA manages the program and the Director of DLA reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics through the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness. The Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), a field activity of DLA, is the lead center for managing prime vendor contracts for three major supply chains: medical materiel, subsistence/garrison feeding, and construction and equipment. In June 2006, we summarized the main findings of DLA internal reviews, and an external review conducted by the Defense Contract Management Agency at DLA's request, of DLA's prime vendor programs. The findings highlighted five deficiencies, as follows: (1) management metrics that were too narrowly focused on sales; (2) a prime vendor concept that was not suitable for all commodities; (3) a lack of management oversight; (4) inadequate pricing reviews; (5) a lack of knowledge or skills in the workforce. We also reported that DLA had experienced persistent problems in overseeing prime vendor contracts, despite the existence of oversight policies and procedures and the identification of corrective actions prior to November 2005. Those problems persisted because DLA and DSCP management had not provided the oversight needed to ensure that the policies, procedures, and corrective actions were implemented. We therefore recommended that the Secretary of Defense ensure that the Director of the DLA provide continual management oversight of the corrective actions DLA was taking to address the problems in its prime vendor program. A House Armed Services Committee report accompanying the fiscal year 2007 Defense Authorization bill directed GAO to review DLA's actions and submit a report to the defense committees no later than March 1, 2007. Our objective was to determine the extent to which DLA's corrective actions have addressed the main deficiencies in the prime vendor program.
DLA has made progress in identifying and implementing a series of corrective actions to address the five main deficiencies we indicated earlier in the management of its prime vendor program, but it has not yet completed all the actions, and some deficiencies remain. Until DLA completes all the actions, we cannot fully assess whether they will be effective in correcting all the deficiencies and sustaining the improvements. DLA has effectively rectified two of the deficiencies by completing actions to broaden its management metrics and adjust its acquisition strategy for commodities that were not suitable for the prime vendor concept. However, it is still in the process of implementing corrective actions to remedy the three remaining deficiencies noted in our June 2006 report--those relating to management oversight, pricing reviews, and workforce knowledge and skills. To address these three deficiencies, DLA has issued a new policy and DSCP has developed implementing procedures that prescribe oversight for prime vendor contractors; authorized additional positions to enhance oversight and developed training requirements for its staff; and introduced specific requirements for supply chains to conduct price reasonableness determinations and more price reviews. Nevertheless, these improvements are still a work in progress. For example, a new division at DSCP, established to ensure that supply chains are following procedures, is still in the process of hiring and training staff and has recently revised its procedures. Further, personnel responsible for one commodity within the construction and equipment supply chain had not conducted price reasonableness determinations as required by the new policy, resulting in a backlog of 11,260 items that needed review, representing an estimated value of $96 million. As of January 2007, DSCP personnel had reduced the backlog to 480 items that needed additional research. Finally, some supply chains have not yet been able to meet their staffing requirements. The shortage of personnel in the supply chains has led to heavier workloads for current staff as well as to delays in completing contract actions. Until DLA completes all the corrective actions that are still in process, it remains at risk of being overcharged for the products it is purchasing. DLA faces further challenges in sustaining the improvements it has made because of impending leadership changes and by virtue of its history of not following through on correcting deficiencies. Our prior work has shown that one of the elements needed for sustaining management improvement initiatives is demonstrated leadership commitment. While the current leadership at DLA and DSCP have demonstrated their commitment to implementing the corrective actions, personnel turnover can be expected in a large organization such as DLA--for example, the Commander of DSCP will reach the end of his 2-year term in mid-2007--and future leaders may not necessarily complete the corrective actions. DLA's history reflects the vulnerability of the prime vendor program to systemic pricing problems, because management has not always provided the oversight necessary to ensure that corrective actions were implemented. Because of these factors, and to mitigate its risk of being overcharged for its purchased products, DLA needs to ensure that the course of corrective actions is completed and the actions are working as intended and the improvements in oversight are sustained.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In February 2007, we recommended that the Director of DLA determine whether all the corrective actions being taken to address deficiencies in the oversight and management of prime vendor contracts had been completed and were producing the intended results, and to communicate the results in writing to the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics). In response to our recommendation, in October 2007, the Director of DLA reported to USD (AT&L) that all the required corrective actions had been completed and were producing the intended results. Based on our review of DLA's written report, we agree with the assessment.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to require the Director of DLA to determine whether all the corrective actions in DLA's prime vendor program have been completed and are producing the intended results. This determination should identify any remaining or additional actions necessary to remedy the deficiencies in the prime vendor program. This determination should also specify a time frame for the completion of these actions. The results of the determination should be communicated in writing to the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics within 6 months of the issuance of this report.

William Collins (Harper Collins imprint)
Collins Life-Size Birds is a photographic celebration of Britain and northern Europe's richly varied birdlife. The photographs are gloriously detailed, appealing to both beginners and experienced birdwatchers.
For decades, bird photography has been used to capture and create images of these photogenic subjects. Recent advances in technology mean that digital imaging has come of age and, as a result, contemporary photographs of birds can reveal as much detail as can be seen with the naked eye and the bird in the hand. This has allowed the creation of a book that depicts birds in intricate detail at life size, as well as larger than life in the case of many smaller species. The book measures 220 × 280 mm (W × H).
Collins Life-Size Birds is unique because for every species entry at least one image shows the bird in question, or the head and bill in the case of large species, depicted life size. The photographs used throughout Collins Life-Size Birds have been chosen carefully to show not only important identification features but also to depict a bird's typical posture, be that perched, standing, swimming or in flight. As many plumage variations as possible have been included. Annotations highlight key identification features that are discussed in the text.
For each species the main text contains descriptions of plumage and structural features that are useful for identification, plus further information about habits and behaviour. In addition, a 'fact file' section covers key details for each species: Common name; Scientific name; Length (an average, measured from bill tip to the end of the tail; Wingspan (an average, measured from wingtip to wingtip); Habitat (or habitats, if these differ seasonally); Food; Status; and Voice.

A $150,000 gift from UT-Batelle to the Boy Scouts of America Great Smoky Mountain Council will enhance STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education at Camp Buck Toms near Rockwood.
UT-Batelle is the contractor that runs Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy.
"One of the things we've tried to do over the years is focus our community engagement around education, particularly science education and STEM," ORNL laboratory director Thom Mason said.
Brendon Seth Luffman had other intentions besides staying cool when he went for a dip in the swimming area at Roane County Park on June 30.
According to a Roane County Sheriff's Office incident report, three adults told a deputy they saw Luffman masturbate in the water while watching children swim.
"The same three complainants all stated they watched Mr. Luffman then clean his hands and genital area before exiting the water," the report said.
A Roane County sheriff's deputy out on patrol Friday discovered a meth lab off Old Elverton Road outside Harriman.
Four adults and a 6-year-old boy were decontaminated at the scene.
"EMS transported him to the hospital just for precaution," Chief Deputy Tim Phillips said. "DCS (Department of Children's Services) accompanied the ambulance to the hospital."
The adults were taken to the Roane County Jail. Phillips said they will face drug charges.
Kingston's utility service has grown by a factor of three over the last 12 years; in the last month, its course of expansion looks to be almost exponential.
Kingston City Council heard an annual report from Oak Ridge Utility District General Manager Ben Andrews at a recent session.
The Oak Ridge utility purchased the Kingston franchise from Rockwood in November 2000. Today, ORUD serves an area that Andrews describes as "the Eastern half of Roane County."
Goodyear in downtown Harriman is closed temporarily because of a fire that damaged part of the building in the wee hours Thursday morning.
Harriman Fire Chief Brad Goss said the fire was contained to the right side of the building.
"It was around about 4:30 a.m. when we got the page. It was in the office area and storage," Goss said.
"It appears to have started in the upstairs like where you have storage," he added.
Beginning Friday, July 13, registered voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the Aug. 2 state primary and county general elections.
Roane County Administrator of Elections Charles Holiway is encouraging voters to take advantage of early voting.
"Early voting is a convenient way for voters to be sure their voices are heard," Holiway said. "With this kind of flexibility, I hope that our voters will not miss this opportunity to exercise their right to vote."
Kingston Rotary Club presented its 2011-12 Annual Vocational Service Awards to The Roane Alliance and Allen Lutz, the Alliance's educational and workforce development specialist.
The awards were presented during an Alliance board meeting June 14 by Bobby Davis of the Kingston Rotary Club. The club honors one organization and one individual yearly for exemplary service to the field of education and workforce development.
Davis said Lutz received the award for demonstrating high ethical standards and values in the performance of his duties.
Roane County's unemployment rate increased marginally in April to 7.5 percent.
That's a difference of 0.3 percent, according to statistics released late last month by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The state reports 25,920 workers in the county's 28,010 labor force were employed in May.
In May 2011, the county recorded a jobless rate at 8 percent, 0.5 percent higher than the most recent figures.
More than 16,000 Tennessee tax preparers have now registered with Internal Revenue Service, as required by recent regulations, but about 7,000 of them must take an IRS competency examination by Dec. 31, 2013, or they will not be able to prepare tax returns for compensation.
So far, 54 tax preparers in Tennessee have passed the competency exam and, as a result, have been given the new credential of Registered Tax Return Preparer.
Enrolled agents, CPAs and attorneys are not required to take the exam because they already have testing requirements.
"BBQ with a View," is on the front of Rickard Ridge BBQ's menu.

A Wisconsin representative is looking to restore the right to bear arms in some schools for some people. From jsonline.com:
Town of Jackson — A state lawmaker said Saturday he would introduce a bill to allow licensed gun owners to carry weapons on the grounds of private schools, and he expects to advance similar bills aimed at public K-12 schools and college campuses.
State Rep. Jesse Kremer (R-Kewaskum) said the state's concealed carry law, which restricts permit holders from taking their weapons on school grounds, needs to be adjusted to match the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, which includes an exception for those with CCW licenses. He said the effort is targeting private schools first because "it's an easier lift" politically.
The problem with current law is that people who legally carry guns are required to leave guns in their vehicle every time they enter or leave school grounds. This presents a safety hazard that is real, as it multiplies the number of times that guns are holstered and unholstered. It also exposes the unattended firearms to theft.
There's an added increment of risk each time a gun is unholstered and stored, then retrieved and reholstered. There is a much more significant risk of the personal defensive firearm being stolen while stored in the vehicle.
The much safer option is to remove restrictions on legally armed individuals' ability to exercise their right to bear arms. Even in schools. Allowing them to carry keeps their firearms under their control, available to protect themselves and others, and makes them far less likely to be stolen.

11 Responses to Kimber Gun Rights Bulletin: Proposed Reform of Wisconsin Gun Law Would Allow Licensed Carry in Schools
Looks like they're explicitly banning Hi-Standard .22 target guns. NP… I do better with my MKII Volquartsen.
I like my little jc higgens (made by hi standard for sears) revolver, it was very cheap to buy, shoots as good or better than me and if you feed it shorts, has zero recoil.
If you've ever tried unloading a semi-auto discreetly and safely in your car without losing the ejected round under the seat, you'll understand why this proposal is long overdue. Unloading under those conditions is a disaster waiting to happen. When I know in advance I have to go to a school zone that day, I carry a revolver specifically for that reason.
Who said anything about unloading?
Wisconsin State Statute 948.605(2)(b)
(2) Possession of Firearm In School Zone.
(a) Any individual who knowingly possesses a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is in or on the grounds of a school is guilty of a Class I felony. Any individual who knowingly possesses a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school is subject to a Class B forfeiture.
(b) Paragraph (a) does not apply to the possession of a firearm by any of the following:
1r. Except if the person is in or on the grounds of a school, a licensee, as defined in s. 175.60 (1) (d), or an out-of-state licensee, as defined in s. 175.60 (1) (g).
3. A person possessing a gun that is not loaded and is any of the following:
a. Encased.
b. In a locked firearms rack that is on a motor vehicle.
So you wait til you get to the school to unload it? Uh, you already broke the law.
And as far as worrying about that round that falls under the seat, fuck it. I have thousands more exactly like that one.
For crying out loud, is it just me or are you really that dense. Do you load and unload handguns in the car right in front of your kids right before you drop them off for school? If you do, wouldn't it occur to you that maybe your kid's teacher is a liberal hoplophobe and you'd rather not have your kid chatting about daddy's gun in the car to his teacher? Do you think that maybe parking on the side of the road PRIOR to driving onto school grounds so you can unload and put away your handgun as required by law might get noticed by a passerby and attract unwanted attention? Or do you disarm yourself half the day while you drive to and from school through less-than-pleasant neighborhoods while there is a freakin armed carjacking epidemic going on? I know how to draw my damned gun, idiot. I'd prefer not to cause a freakin lockdown at my kid's school because a live round happened to fall out from under the seat in the school parking lot. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on life in Georgia, but you can keep your condescending snark to yourself about how easy it is to deal with something you obviously know little about.
No. I don't load and unload my gun in front of my kids as I drop them off for school. That was your premise.
I just keep my gun loaded and under my shirt all the time. See, that is what a free man does. One day, a free man like me might save your kid's life when a murderer comes on campus and a guy like me can intervene. Meanwhile, keep fumbling around trying to load your revolver while free men are already in the fight.
The problem with current law is that people who legally carry guns are required to leave guns in their vehicle every time they enter or leave school grounds. This presents a safety hazard that is real, as it multiplies the number of times that guns are holstered and unholstered.
I really hate when people make this argument. Yes, I understand that negligent discharges happen… but by making this argument, you're actively telling the opposition that gun owners are sometimes negligent. You're telling them that the simple act of unholstering/reholstering is unsafe, when it's not.
Yep. It seems that a large portion of the gun community, simply carry a gun and do not practice with it. Gun handling is very important to me. One day, I may have to do it for real. In the mean time, I draw and holster my gun (GLOCK 19) (GASP!) while loaded (DOUBLE GASP!) about 25 times a day. On the range, I do drills that incorporate the draw. There is target practice and there is gun fighting practice. I would hope the CC person would be more interested in the latter.
Thanks for an unbelievable post, would study one's others posts. thanks for your thinking for this, I experienced somewhat strike by this text. Thanks again! You earn a great moment. Has great report here. I think that when more individuals thought of it like that, they'd possess a better time obtain the hold ofing the difficulty.

I was married in 1997 to my American born husband. I submitted N400 and attended the interview but was asked to provide more info on my physical and continuous presence. So I decided to withdraw N400 because I realized I had over 1120 days listed on N400. I also had stayed out the country for more than 6 months in 2011. I returned to the US Jan 2012 those after 6 months. However, ever since Jan 2012, I have remained in the US. I was told that I could resubmit N400 anytime from Aug 2013 but I really do not want to waste my $700 again.

State of Hockey Tribute
Xcel Energy Center's State Of Hockey Tribute is dedicated to Minnesota's contributions to the sport of hockey. The museum exhibits are located throughout the arena and highlight high school and college hockey jerseys from across the state of Minnesota, Minnesota State High School League tournaments, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and several Minnesota college hockey award winners.
Below are listed the exhibits that can be viewed in Xcel Energy Center:
- Wells Fargo Jersey Wall: The jerseys of approximately 215 high school hockey teams (almost all of the boys' programs and about a third of the girls') are on display on the Bremer Bank Suite Level. These pose a striking tribute to high school hockey in the state and highlight the hosting of both the annual boys' and girls' MSHSL tournaments each February and March in the arena.
- Minnesota State High School League Tournaments: As a complement to the high school jersey exhibit, St. Paul Pioneer Press headlines from eighteen selected tournaments are displayed on eight support pillars that surround the lower level. The exhibit begins with the very first event in 1945 and includes representations from the second level boys' tournament as well as the girls' competition that began in 1995.
- College Hockey Awards: Located outside the Mich Golden Light Fan Zone just inside Gate 4 are the Hobey Baker and Patty Kazmaier Awards annually honoring the nation's most outstanding male and female college players.
- U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum Exhibits: The 100 level's Mich Golden Light Fan Zone features six exhibit cases relating to the Eveleth, Minnesota-based tribute to hockey in the United States. Two cases are dedicated to the museum and its exhibits while four rotate on a two-year basis and highlight various Iron Range communities as well as the area's outstanding players and teams. In addition, the walls feature murals of past senior, high school, and youth teams from across "the Range."
- WCHA: As the past host of the WCHA's Men's Final Five Tournament, Xcel Energy Center displays an exhibit just inside Gate 2 of the Broadmoor Trophy that goes to the winner of the Final Five event. In the same general vicinity is the restored original Zamboni from the St. Paul Auditorium, wall hangings recognizing historic moments in Minnesota hockey.
- St. Paul Champions: The RBC Wealth Management Club Level exhibits honor St. Paul minor league (plus one major league) champions representing the seasons of 1919-20, 1934-35, 1948-49, 1959-60, 1960-61 and 1964-65. These exhibits include a replica jersey and St. Paul Pioneer Press headlines and photographs that appear on six support pillars near the surrounding seating area. Also on this level, a hockey timeline features significant events in Minnesota history.
- Other Exhibits: Rotating exhibits on various aspects of Minnesota hockey can be found in the Hockey Lodge and at Gate 3. The latter area also features an exhibit on Mr./Ms. Hockey that annually recognizes the most outstanding male and female Minnesota high school hockey players. Other lower level concourse wall exhibits feature hockey legend Herb Brooks and former Wild players Sergei Zholtok and Derek Boogaard. The 200 level concourse highlights the state's first major league team, the St. Paul Athletic Club, and its greatest player Frank "Moose" Goheen.

The HTC 8X is no longer available at T-Mobile, but that doesn't mean that you can't use a little trick and have the phone enabled for Wi-Fi calling over T-Mobile's pipeline. An HTC 8X owner named James discovered that he could add Wi-Fi calling to his phone. The handset is running software version 8.0.10211.204/1532.20.20010.531, and by going to the T-Mobile website, James changed the name of the phone he is using to the BlackBerry Bold and selected the free Wi-Fi calling feature.
Once that was all set up, a factory reset of the HTC 8X was performed. Once the phone rebooted, the blue Wi-Fi calling tile appeared on the home screen. The service now allows him to make free phone calls over Wi-Fi, the same way that the entry-level Nokia Lumia 521 does for its owners.
Let us know if this little trick worked for you. If you are an HTC 8X owner using the T-Mobile network, follow the steps above and let us know if you are now able to access Wi-Fi calling on your phone.

Today we are politically polarized as never before. The presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 will be remembered as two of the most contentious political events in American history. Yet despite the recent election upheaval, The American Voter Revisited discovers that voter behavior has been remarkably consistent over the last half century. And if the authors are correct in their predictions, 2008 will show just how reliably the American voter weighs in, election after election. The American Voter Revisited re-creates the outstanding 1960 classic The American Voter—-which was based on the presidential elections of 1952 and 1956—-following the same format, theory, and mode of analysis as the original. In this new volume, the authors test the ideas and methods of the original against presidential election surveys from 2000 and 2004. Surprisingly, the contemporary American voter is found to behave politically much like voters of the 1950s. "Simply essential. For generations, serious students of American politics have kept The American Voter right on their desk. Now, everyone will keep The American Voter Revisited right next to it." —-Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of A More Perfect Constitution "The American Voter Revisited is destined to be the definitive volume on American electoral behavior for decades. It is a timely book for 2008, with in-depth analyses of the 2000 and 2004 elections updating and extending the findings of the original The American Voter. It is also quite accessible, making it ideal for graduate students as well as advanced undergrads." —-Andrew E. Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center "A theoretically faithful, empirically innovative, comprehensive update of the original classic." —-Sam Popkin, Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego Michael S. Lewis-Beck is F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Iowa. William G. Jacoby is Professor of Political Science at Michigan State University. Helmut Norpoth is Professor of Political Science at Stony Brook University. Herbert F. Weisberg is Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University.
