It's everything I do.
And this is my other thing, where I eavesdrop on people: tinytinymoments.tumblr.com
Change is good, right?
I know I'm new to this area so I haven't had a focused eye on the Bay Citizen (or the artist formerly known as the Bay Citizen) for long, but it will be interesting to see how this all works together, regarding the merger. The CIR will do what the CIR does. But will the BC be the East Bay's version of CIR, focused on investigative journalism in the area only?
I liked the daily news coverage of the BC, but I also like what CIR does ('cause you have to if you care about journalism). So the BC is no longer doing the daily grind of news. Well, there is A LOT of daily grinders out here. The outlet will be missed but, it appears, it will be replaced with an even stronger CIR.
(Still, in my short time here, I'll miss their daily news.)

A "Stay-cation" Sun Valley-style
A local family enjoys a few days in America's original ski resort
By Nicky Elsbree
In recognition of one's dedication to Sun Valley Company, they offer "R & R" packages to employees who have reached certain milestones in their careers. At the end of my 5th season of teaching skiing, I was awarded a three-night stay, all food and activities included, at a Sinclair Company (Sun Valley's parent company) run resort.
The vision of scooting down to Utah and experiencing Snow Basin's light and fluffy powder seemed attainable. The reality of our energy levels, however, caused my husband and me to reconsider. In other words, we were tired and the thought of loading up and traveling five hours south with two young kids didn't sound as glamorous or easy as it once did.
So, instead of letting the certificate collect dust for a couple more years, we took action. With one of their nicest resorts right next door, Spring Break Sun Valley-style here we come!
At 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoon we loaded Clayton (7) and Hadley (3) into the car with DVD player and drinks available (their bags stashed secretly) for our long road trip. "Hot Springs? Camping? Boise? C'mon! Where are we going?"
As we took a left onto Saddle Road and crossed Highway 75, they were really befuddled. Without saying much, we pulled into Sun Valley's parking lot and walked to the big doors of the Lodge where we were treated like royalty, as everyone is.
It was not until I presented a key to Clayton and told Hadley to hit the elevator button to the third floor that they started to engage in the possibility of…drum roll please…being able to spend the night at a hotel here in their hometown.
Yes, room #325, staring out at Baldy and over the hot pool, beckoned us. The kids were delighted as they chose their beds and took a few spins around the room, trying on bright white robes and too big spa slippers and even discovered a tiny box wrapped in gold ribbon hiding some fancy chocolates. For a moment, I think they forgot where they were… the transformation from locals to visitors was complete.
At Bald Mountain Pizza the atmosphere was relaxed, but we still reminded our kids of their manners. Our waiter Jonathan was cool and engaging without, you know, over doing it.
When he drifted back to the kitchen, we discussed the idea of "being from somewhere else," in effort to make ourselves more, well, touristy. Clayton promptly decided he wanted to be from San Jose. I guess the fact that he's a hockey fanatic and a huge Sharks fan came into play. So as we gobbled up pizza, we had fun trying on our new identity and then weaved our way back to the Lodge.
Clayton even got nervy enough to tell another elevating family when asked, that we were from San Jose. The mom, who mentioned they were from Idaho Falls exclaimed, "Wow, we've never met anyone from there before and isn't that exciting?" Clayton's everlasting grin grew even bigger.
The next day the rain came crushing and I actually felt bad for the "real" visitors. Skiing in the rain can be good, but this was a soaker and back-up plans, which included raincoats, came into play. For us it was breakfast at Gretchen's followed by feeding the ducks and out to the hot pool. The temperature dropped just enough for the rain to transition to large wispy whiteness floating down. My daughter, Hadley, thought the flakes looked like the swan feathers she had found outside by the pond. They did and it was magical.
It felt like camp when we received a message in our room about an impromptu matinee showing "The Big Miracle," with Drew Barrymore. As all good movies do, it provided an escape out of our own little world into someone else's.
Ah let's see, what next, a little bowling. We saw local friends and a plethora of visiting families as kids wore their cool kicks and hurled bedazzling balls down the lanes. Parents tried to remember how to score as a few "oh yeahs" and "oh shucks" echoed throughout.
Dinner in the Lobby Inn and ambling about the Sun Valley grounds brought us up to 9 o'clock. After reading the kids "Little Clyde, Horsing Around in Sun Valley," falling asleep to an NHL game on TV was an easy end to an enjoyable day.
The next morning was filled with a series of "Happy Birthdays" shrieked to my husband, Mark. Good thing we were on the end room as to not disturb many people with our off-tone singing. We marched to the Konditeri for a casual breakfast and out to the hot pool for a finale soak prior to checking out.
Two nights and a couple days of crossing over into Sun Valley's fancy laid-backness gave us a refreshing perspective on the town next door. No, we didn't ski and it was too wet to skate, but we did what young kids inherently like to do. Sleep in a hotel bed, ride the elevator and get tired out at the pool. It was fun to play the "we are from San Jose" game and easy to understand why people travel great distances to experience this special resort. With the pop of our tourist bubble, we hopped back in the car for our 12 minute drive home out Warm Springs Road.
And then the birthday boy grabbed his skis and headed for Baldy, the reigning king of Sun Valley, while the kids and I unpacked from our stay-cation.

First-class battle over Saturday mail delivery
The USPS has said it will stop weekend service, but Congress is mulling a move to block the change.
When the U.S. Postal Service said it would halt Saturday deliveries starting this summer, many customers and postal workers complained and even organized protests.
Now Congress is getting into the debate, with the Senate considering a provision that would require the Postal Service to continue six-day-a-week deliveries, according to The Wall Street Journal. It's similar to a provision the House passed and in effect would tell the USPS that it must keep delivering on Saturdays. The Postal Service operates as an independent agency but is subject to congressional oversight.
Congress' message isn't going down smoothly.
For one, the plan to end Saturday delivery was designed to reduce costs by $2 billion and limit losses at the Postal Service, which mounted to $15.9 billion last year. That's rallying several Republicans to the USPS' defense, including Senator Tom Coburn (Okla.) and Representative Darrell Issa (Calif.), The New York Times says.
By telling the Postal Service it must continue Saturday delivery, Congress is "hastening (the service's) demise and probably adding additional financial burdens to U.S. taxpayers," Senator Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said earlier this month, according to TheHill.com.
Currently, no law mandates that the USPS deliver mail six days a week. So Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe earlier made the announcement about ceasing Saturday delivery without congressional approval, notes The Times.
That has reportedly frustrated some lawmakers, who see Donahoe as trying to bypass Congress. Through a spokesman, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg, D-N.J., told The Times: "The Postal Service will still have to deliver mail on Saturdays."
While it remains unclear what will happen with the provision, it's increasingly turning into a brawl between Congress and the USPS.
The Postal Service "will continue its planning for the August implementation of the new delivery schedule, while Congress debates," a spokesman said on Friday, according to The Journal.
USPS was doing alright until REP. ISSAC got a bill passed by GOP to have USPS pay 75 years of benefits in 10 years for future employees. Taxpayer didn't support USPS Before this bill was passed USPS was self sufficient. the GOP"S goal was to put USPS out of business so private companies can take over.
When I was very young we had mail delivery twice a day before Truman cut it to once as an emergency provision for the Korean War. We learned to make do with that very easily.
They should not eliminate Sat delivery, instead they should go to three days a week. Each carrier would have two sets of routes. One Mon, Wen. Fri & the other Tues, Thurs & Sat. Those routes that were mostly businesses would as much as possible be on the Mon, Wen & Sat schedule.
Those who felt the need for all six days could get a Post Office box & the box sections should be expanded if necessary.
That would not only cut the number of carriers nearly in half but also the vehicles & mileage. The increase in volume to be delivered would make the total cuts a bit less than half. Many of the excess people could be retained to eliminate overtime.
..... What every American should know
Most Americans probably just didn't care when they found out that the U.S. taxpayers have unknowingly and wrongfully paid approx. $75 Billion
to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Are people talking about this? How can this be? could it be only millions, no way billions? Most people just brush it off thinking it's unbelievable............ Wow, If they only knew!
Read this and let it sink in...billions, not millions .......of your money.
--- Over and over again the U.S.Postal Service has taken the blame for postage rate increases. But, did you know the real reason why ? Was it necessary? This article will tell the reason behind that issue.
First, many do not know that the Postal Service must prepay every employee's pension as mandated by law. This is the only government agency required to do so. Something of this magnitude is unheard of in any business in America... Can you think of any Company anywhere that does that....fully fund an employee's pension before they retire ........None! That reason alone is what will probably put an end to what is now called the U.S. Postal Service. But the most interesting thing about this is that you (the taxpayers) have wrongfully overpaid for that.
The Government screws one of their own .... that's right, The OPM overcharged the U.S. Postal Service...one government agency screwed the other ...
The Post Office did nothing wrong. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) actually manages the federal government and civil service. The(OPM) is another branch of the US Government . (OPM) is responsible for the Postal Service retirement funds. The OPM tells the Postal Service what amount is necessary for this retirement funding and the Postal Service pays it... which they did. Eventually, the Post Office had an audit which discovered OPM overinflated the payments using the wrong calculations based on projected pay & future inflation. The audit results were presented to the Postal Service, Management, Office of Personnel Management & Congress, and all agreed that $75 billion was an overpayment. That in a nutshell is simply what happened. It's hard to believe that one branch of the Government could do this to the other, but that's exactly what took place. Now it will take Congress to return the money. To date nothing has been repaid on the $75 billion. During a recent hearing before Congress, one Congressman suggested it ($75 billion) should be returned to the tax payers, since it's been funded through postage rates and rightfully belongs to the them (taxpayers). If Congress does not return the money, all taxpayers will in some form or another have to cover the Post Office current shortfalls... in the end we all pay.
Now you finally understand the postage rate increases for the past few years, Many often wondered why they needed to do it. It was simply because the Postal Service had to overpay year after year on pension overpayment making them fall short on their yearly buget and forcing postage rate increases to cover this mistake. If the $75 billion is returned to the Postal Service (which is rightfully theirs), it can be used to cover current fiscal year deficit and beyond ......That $75 billion would have had the Postal Service in the black every year.
............. looks like Government bites themselves in the _ _ _ on this one! Silly for anyone to think that Social Security will someday do the Government in, their doing it to themselves !!!!!
Thinking maybe this article is not true? ... Actually it's FACT, go ahead and verify it ... Google it, contact your congressman, or better yet, next time you're at the Post Office ask the person behind the counter about the ..." $75 billion pension overpayment"................ anywhere you look you'll see It's true ....
What every American should know...Unbelievable, but true!

Last week's round of public meetings on the future of our local councils drew a good turnout from the public in Wairarapa.
I was surprised and pleased to hear the high numbers attending, which shows people were making an effort to keep themselves informed about the changes ahead for local governance.
Was it a good "consultation" though?
Some of the feedback I've heard suggested it was more of a show-and-tell of what local council representatives have already decided is best for us, rather than an opportunity for them to garner any meaningful feedback.
There were no alternatives presented, no other options to consider against the councils' preferred scheme, and no hard data on what the impact would be on rates.
The council's preferred option has also suggested bringing parts of Tararua District, which currently comes under the umbrella of Horizons Regional Council, under the proposed Wairarapa unitary authority. Have those councils and affected residents been consulted?
The meeting schedule last week didn't include Eketahuna, so how have those residents been included in the consultation? It will be interesting to see whether the working party comes up with any changes to their plan as a result of their roadshow.
It seems as though the reaction from throughout the community has been that there isn't yet enough firm information for anyone to know what the best option is.
We also need a clear time frame on when the proposals will be put to the Local Government Commission, and how these proposals will impact on the next local elections - now only 10 months away.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A woman is dead after being fatally shot in the Wal-Mart parking lot in the Hillview area.
According to Louisville Metro police, Michelle Hahn, 46, of Shepherdsville was shot in the head in the parking lot of the Walmart in the 11900 block of Standiford Plaza Drive just after noon Saturday.
Hahn came out of the store, and was shot near her car.
"We do believe this is a domestic situation," police spokesperson Carey Klain said.
Witnesses said Hahn was putting groceries in her car when she was gunned down.
John Winter had just walked into the Walmart when a woman ran in screaming saying someone had been shot. He says he ran out to the parking lot. Hahn was killed three spots away from where he had just parked. He says he tried to help her, but she was dead.
According to LMPD spokeswoman Klain, the male shooter fled the scene, but shortly after reports of gunfire came in to police from McNeely Park.
Police found a man matching the shooter's description in the getaway car. According to police, Charles R. Fickentsher, 44, had shot and killed himself.
Police have not said what type of relationship the victim and the shooter had.
Walmart remained closed for nearly five hours while police investigated.
Funeral arrangements for Michelle Hahn are being handled by McFarland Troutman in Mt. Washington.

Really? It seems excessive to me. A nurse? For what? My kids don't have a nurse any other place including schools. If they want to see a nurse they need to show up at a hospital (in which case there better be something wrong or they'll never actually see anyone) or they need to book an appointment with their family physician.
Same with education. Are they working or going to school? Many high school students do both and the restaurants and other similar employers need not give their education a second thought. Kids are free to work as many hours as they like at part-time jobs (as far as I know) without the workplace providing any special benefits. Can a child actor/model who decides to work (and gain whatever advantages that provides) really expect that it will not have an impact on their education?
States in the US have differing laws about minors in the workplace. In Pennsylvania students can only work a certain number of hours a week. I think it has to do with age and grades in school. Excessive? Not really when you think of how many adults in the industry take advantage of children and unsuspecting adults. Hollywood has structure that includes work hours, tutors on set, etc. Why would modeling be treated any differently?
Actually there are several errors of fact here, depending on the jurisdiction in which the employment takes place. Generally, however, the number of hours and circumstances in which a child may be employed are tightly restricted. Most venues do not permit school-aged children to work at all during schools hours. There are also safety concerns and the more ad hoc the workplace, such as construction sites, runways, motion picture and, yes, photographer's studios the greater the oversight and restrictions must be in order to protect the child.
I worked all through my middle school and high school years, often in shops that skirted or openly flaunted the law, such as some of those industries you mention. In the process I was hit by bowling balls and golf balls and scalded by large containers of soup and dishwater on catering trucks. I was delighted when i could get to the relative safety of a radio station, a recording studio or a theater stage, where the protection of the young performers was a given.
All IMHO as always, of course.
I am still shaking my head over some of the requirements.
Of course I am for the protection of children... however, a 17 years old girl is not a child in my eyes (it's a cultural thing I guess)... except for fashion week, which is in fact a week long event, all other shoots are maybe one or two days a few hours.
Providing a nurse for one or two kids, for, let's say a GAP print shoot... and a tutor.... TUTOR???
Shoot is 4 hours... do they have to ad one more hour that has to be paid so that the models can do an extra hour of algebra on the set???
When would they have to do their schoolwork, during the shoot, before, after?
Comparing this to the film industry, where a teen actor/actress might be for weeks or months on the set to a commercial/fashion shoot that lasts a day, but putting those requirements on the shoot...
I really don't know if that was thought through properly.
I agree it's a bit of a stretch for a few hours on a shoot, but I'm not sure it works that way either....They will look at it again and adjust it to work eventually, after some backlash.
I see this as a game changer in regards to casting for the shows considering the restriction on work hours; employers could have restrictions on scheduling these models for fittings after midnight on a school night and will have restrictions in regards to models on call hours to return work.
The State DOL will surely need to adapt many of the current regulations in place for employment of child performers to the modeling industry and these adaptations may be extensive.
Employers may be permitted to file for variances to some of the regulations if compliance would show a hardship?, Yet I believe this would drive additional complications when consideration casting a model. I suspect clients may become more prone in defaulting to a policy of directing casting directors and agencies to forgo the under 18 model altogether.
Wait! Your child's school doesn't provide a Nurse? what have Schools come to!? That's scary!
Let's not confuse issues. As I understand it we're not discussing whether it is a good idea to allow child workers to be hit by golf balls or scalded by hot water - we're discussing whether it is reasonable for the employer to have to provide a nurse and tutor for a photo shoot.
As many above have noted this sort of thing makes a lot of sense for TV/movie actors which may be on set for very long hours many days a week for many weeks in a row. Modeling jobs don't tend to have that sort of longevity or intensity and for that reason I don't think it requires this sort of regulation.
Scary? Our schools don't provide police, doctors, nurses, lawyers, or any other services. They are schools - they provide teachers.
Why would a school require a nurse?
In the USA it is standard to have a school nurse for any number of reasons... A student could get hurt during Physical Education, have a sudden headache/stomach ache/other pains. Also when I was in middle school, I had to take epilepsy medicine every day and would have to go to the nurse to get it (we can't carry prescription medicine ourselves)... Don't know if that's still the case because that was awhile ago but I think you get the idea of why a school nurse is there and needed.
From the news reports seen from time to time an American student would be lucky to get away with carrying a Tic-Tac in school. Woe be unto them that even share a piece of hard candy with another student. Zero tolerance and all that!
Looks a bit like DRUGS to me!
Agree 100%.
It's been years since I've been in school, but even then we had a nurse and security guards (actual police officers). No lawyers though.
Really good point.
It will apply to any underaged model in New York working legally in the U.S. It makes no difference if they are foreign nationals.
In California we have a similar statute for motion picture and video (it doesn't apply to shoots that are still only). In any case, if a California company does a shoot in another state with an under aged actor, we are still required to comply with California law. We are subject to it in any location, even out of the country.
I have no idea if New York has the same covenant, but in California, they claim jurisdiction over us no matter where we shoot motion picture or video.

ARTICLE ~ I don't starve to remain fit" - Shaheer Sheikh
Sunday, June 29, 2014 | 10:12:58 AM IST (+05:30 GMT)
Handsome hunk Shaheer Sheikh is a fitness freak and works out to remain fit. He shares his fitness mantra with TellyBuzz.
Telly actor Shaheer Sheikh is seen in Star Plus' show Mahabharat. The fit actor works out and does cardio exercises to maintain his shape.
Let's see what Shaheer has to share with us…
What does fitness mean to you? What's your idea of fitness?
Fitness means a lot to me. I think it is important to be fit because at the end of the day your health matters. Being healthy helps you to remain happy in life. My idea of fitness is how to live a healthy life.
What efforts do you take to stay in shape?
I do a lot of exercise, I do cardio and cross fit training.
Are you conscious about your food choices?
I am a complete foodie, if something tasty and spicy is served on my table I can't control myself. Instead of starving I believe in working out more so that I lose weight.
Three things you do every day to remain fit:
1. Jogging.
2. Playing a sport.
3. Free weight exercise.
Do you take protein supplements?
If the source is natural I avoid taking supplements.
Is there any sport you are skilled at?
I like playing Cricket and I am very fond of Swimming.
A celeb body you admire?
I feel it is better to admire your own body instead of others. I admire myself.
What is your fitness secret?
I believe in burning calories by working out, I don't starve to remain fit.
A fitness tip for your fans?
Nowadays children don't play outdoor games they are busy in indoor games. I would advice children to go out to play because this will make you strong enough. I feel residing in village made me stronger because in this urban lifestyle you don't get a chance to play outdoor games.

Be it Chicago, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh or Boston, whoever perseveres in this year's Stanley Cup Final, the next day their fans will flock downtown for the victory parade.
It doesn't quite work that way when you win soccer bronze at London 2012.
Now some 10 months on from last summer's Olympics, Canada finally gets to celebrate on home soil the astonishing journey of the Women's National Team Sunday afternoon at BMO Field.
Adding an extra layer of spiced cake to the occasion, those damned Gold medal-winning, Centennial-celebrating, formidable U.S. team play the role of invited guests.
When tickets went on sale in late March the public responded so well that all 20,000-plus tickets sold out in about the same amount as time as it takes Abby Wambach to count to six very loudly.
That's all for the history books now.
What can't be forgotten though is that a seismic shift of the soccer platelets occurred when Christiana Pederson blew the final whistle at Old Trafford.
If the immediate dramatic upward shift of interest in soccer across the country were a share price the Mounties would have immediately been called in to investigate a case of insider trading.
Although soccer stabilized to its newly-revised lofty equilibrium over the winter another shift along the demand curve has occurred this week.
Whilst the men's team were lamenting Tuesday night's defeat to Cost Rica in Edmonton, the buzz and excitement around Toronto as the Women's National Team prepared for what is set to be one of the biggest occasions in the 100-plus year history of the CSA has not gone unnoticed.
Ever since Christine Sinclair led her nation out as flag bearer during the closing ceremonies at London, the national governing body has slowly but very assuredly inked new partner agreements behind the scenes.
With each new partner deal the CSA's over-reliance on fees from soccer clubs and associations across the nation diminishes dramatically.
As a result any thought of any more dramatic increase to those fees become a thing of the past, a relic.
It's no coincidence, then - in a week where the spotlight is shining so brightly on the WNT - that the CSA announced the latest corporate partner to jump on board: a manufacturer of sun protection products.
Following practice on Thursday evening Christine Sinclair proclaimed to the media that since London 2012, "Life has changed for a lot of us."
Although Sinclair was speaking specifically about her fellow WNT players she may also have been speaking about the burgeoning corporate squad which now surrounds and embraces Canadian soccer.
Two of the more prominent ones - Bank of Montreal and Umbro - have been mightily active this week as they utilize the regal stage of Sunday afternoon's encounter to showcase themselves to a growing and captivated audience.
Umbro - identifying the public practice at BMO on Thursday as best opportunity to launch the WNT's new away kits – marked the culmination of 2012's centenary season with bronze in London.
Third place on the podium it may have been, but it may as well have been gold to the nation's apparel manufacturer.
"After the Olympic bronze medal performance we saw an immediate 40 percent spike above anticipated demand," Umbro Canada V P Mike Shoemaker disclosed to TSN.ca yesterday.
"The support on both the men's side and women's side led to the largest ever year of CSA jersey sales," he added. "The centenary kit sold out of our limited run and we continued that trend on all CSA product through the year."
"Thursday night's launch showed us yet again that with success on the pitch and Umbro Canada continuing to provide new and innovative products, the fans will continue to support," Shoemaker concluded.
BMO, who first moved into the soccer space when the national soccer stadium was developed, also formed a partnership with Canada's first MLS club ahead of Toronto FC beginning play back in 2007.
Over barren years for Canadian soccer BMO stayed the course and has continually reinvested in the beautiful game across the nation. The sponsors have provided desperately needed oxygen for the nation's grass roots.
"As the bank of soccer in Canada, BMO supports all aspects of the Beautiful Game in Canada - from the jerseys of local teams across the country to BMO Field in Toronto," said Susan Bundy, director of sponsorships at BMO Financial Group told TSN.ca yesterday. "At the national level, BMO has been a proud supporter of the Canadian Soccer Association for more than six years."
Yesterday at BMO's flagship branch in downtown Toronto fans were given opportunity to get up close and personal to their new idols - something altogether rather unimaginable pre-London 2012.
Bundy explained: "Fans were able to meet their favourite players, get autographs and take photos in advance of the highly anticipated friendly match between Canada and the U.S."
When BMO first gambled on allocating sponsorship dollars with Canadian soccer back in fall 2006 the business of the sport was rudderless.
Over these intervening years we have witnessed many of Canada's best known companies play out the business of soccer as they jostle for space on the pitch. Demand continues to grow.
Meanwhile for Sunday's match itself and as the configuration process of BMO Field has been completed, the CSA was able to announce on Friday additional seats were now available.
Adding to soccer's newfound lustre some of those tickets are for seats at premium field-side tables where you will be so close to the action you might be able to hear Abby Wambach count.
Welcome Canada to the professional era for soccer both on and off the pitch.

The Seer-Sucker Theory: The Value of Experts in Forecasting
AbstractPeople are willing to pay heavily for expert advice. Economists are consulted to tell us how the economy will change, stock analysts are paid large salaries to forecast the earnings of various companies, and political experts command large fees to tell our leaders what the future holds. The available evidence, however, implies that this money is poorly spent. But because few people pay attention to this evidence, I have come up with what I call the 'seersucker theory': 'No matter how much evidence exists that seers do not exist, suckers will pay for the existence of seers.'

Kitty Litter Killer: Toxoplasma gondii (PDF)posted by Blasdelb at 3:22 AM on February 1, 2013
Toxoplasma gondii, which is transmitted through cat feces, has neurological effects on other mammals. When kitty litter i s flushed down the toilet, parasitic spores end up in the ocean where mammals such as sea otters ingest the spores. These spores alter the mammals' brain functions causing them to approach their natural predators rather than avoid them. This has been leading to a decline in sea otter population. This is a serious issue that can be solved by educating the public about the proper ways to dispose of kitty litter.

Alcatel-Lucent's Turn Around
Hans is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) seems to have been going through permanent restructuring since the merger between Lucent Technologies and Alcatel was completed at the end of 2006. This uncertainty and continuous change needs to stop for Alcatel-Lucent to turn the business around.
If Alcatel-Lucent is going to be successful, it needs to define what it is, once and for all. For too long it has tried to be the one stop shop for everything and everyone. As a result, it has created a reputation as the "Jack of all trades, Master of none."
When you think of Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), you immediately know that you are speaking to the leader in wireless network infrastructure, managed services, and a company that is in the process of transforming itself into a telecom OSS/BSS power house. But Ericsson is also quietly laying off 1,500 of its people, and its results have not been that stellar.
In November 2011, Nokia Siemens Networks announced 17,000 lay-offs by 2013, or almost 25% of its workforce. After 4 years of operating losses, NSN concluded it had digressed too far away from its core business. As part of the restructuring program, they have also publicly committed themselves to returning to their core business: mobile (broadband) infrastructure and services.
Despite these facts, the market views two of Alcatel-Lucent's biggest competitors as relatively positive. In the mean time, Alcatel-Lucent is struggling to keep its head above water and its share price above $1. Why? I think it is because the market understands Ericsson's and NSN's identity and the recovery path they are on, and that allows them to measure progress. With Alcatel-Lucent, it is all still too cloudy beyond another reorganization and a round of lay-offs.
I think Alcatel-Lucent can be a very lucrative turnaround story if its true identity can resurface. It has many core elements in place that could cause it to come roaring back:
- The IP unit is absolutely second to none. It is the rock star of the company. 20% year over year growth.
- The Optical unit has captured the #1 market position in the highest growth segment: 100G.
- The Wireless unit is leading the industry with its lightradio (a mini 4G LTE base station that can be placed on walls, on top of light poles, etc) architecture.
- In three to four years CAPEX investments in small cells are expected to be $2 billion annually. In the US, Alcatel-Lucent already won a major deal with Sprint (NYSE: S), which is in the midst of an estimated $4 billion multi-year 3G and 4G LTE network improvement initiative. This set Alcatel-Lucent up perfectly for wins with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT&T (NYSE: T), who recently announced an increase in capital spending to $22 billion per year through 2015 from an estimated $19 billion in 2012.
- Following a decade of failure to capture market share in macro wireless networks, Alcatel-Lucent's wireless unit finally seems to be capturing a sizable piece of the pie in 4G LTE, including wins in Latin America with America Movil and Oi, and in China with China Mobile.
- The Wireline unit, in difficult times, continues to grow at 16% annually.
- Bell Labs – Innovation, Innovation, and Innovation.
The right sized and focused business can be a very profitable one.
What I want to see as a potential investor is Alcatel-Lucent taking bold decisions that will define its identity. Alcatel-Lucent has to re-create its "go-to brand." I want that brand to be about building end-to-end seamlessly integrated networks that drive the best business value to its customers. No more distractions. No more diversifications. Do what you are good at, and strive to become better at it every day.
That is the right formula as network operators are rethinking their entire network architectures and business models because they will continue to have to deal with the massive data usage explosion that is clogging up their networks, which have become too complex and too expensive to maintain and support.
Ericsson cannot do this. Nokia Siemens in its new model cannot do this. Huawei can, but I am confident that as a leaner and more focused business, in head to head competition, Alcatel-Lucent would beat Huawei more than half the time. It has proven it can beat the Chinese in Latin America, where it is growing in the lower double digits the past 3 years in fierce competition with Huawei and ZTE.
I want to see Alcatel-Lucent exiting everything that has nothing to do with what should be its core business, including:
- Exit Enterprise. Not Alcatel-Lucent's core customers.
- Exit Managed Services. Not a few of the contracts. All of them.
- Exit Applications. Not core to the business.
- Exit non-core geographies, which is already part of the restructuring program.
- Stop reselling third party products or services. The margins are terrible. Instead, commit to a channel program for the long haul for the countries it is exiting.
Alcatel-Lucent has to become what it has forgotten it was, an end-to-end Network Infrastructure vendor for telecom service providers driven by the industry's best and brightest innovators: Bell Labs.
Nothing else.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin snowmobilers are being told to stay on their designated trails – or else they might lose them.
Duane Meyers of the Dane County Council of Snowmobile Clubs says he's been getting more complaints than ever from private landowners. One of them has already cut off his property because of the riders who stray elsewhere on his land.
Meyers tells WISC-TV in Madison that the vast majority of snowmobile trails are on private land.
When property owners cut them off, it's a problem to set up detours – and riders who follow the rules are hassled because they must go out of their way to get someplace.
Meyers says riders who stray off trails can kill the crops that are underneath. He says it's an especially big problem in Dane County, because of the four large lakes that surround Madison.
So far, Wisconsin has had two snowmobile deaths this season. They've been reported in Sawyer and Iron counties.

Physiologic Response to Glucagon at Varying Insulin Levels

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this research study is to test how different levels of insulin block the effect of glucagon. Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood glucose. Glucagon raises blood glucose. Both are natural hormones made by people without diabetes. Sensor-based blood glucose control studies have been done by our research group using glucagon in small doses to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, sometimes glucagon does not work to raise blood sugar. The investigators believe this is because of too much insulin in the body. This study will help determine how different levels of insulin in the body affect the ability of glucagon to raise blood sugar.

|Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
|Official Title:
|The Hepatic Glucose Response to Glucagon at Varying Insulin Levels: Implications for Closed Loop Glycemic Control.
- Area under the curve for glucose above baseline [ Time Frame: 60 minutes after each glucagon administration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The change in the rate of glucose appearance will be assessed by measuring the stable glucose isotope (dideuterated glucose, D2) using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry assay.
- Peak glucose value above baseline [ Time Frame: 60 minutes post glucagon administration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Venous blood glucose values will be assessed with the Hemocue Glucose 201 Analyzer.

|Primary Completion Date:
|March 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Glucagon
We investigators have been working on the development of a closed loop (artificial endocrine pancreas) insulin and glucagon infusion system since 2005 and are part of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Artificial Pancreas Consortium. As part of our studies, we give small doses of glucagon to prevent hypoglycemia. As we assessed the success and failure of glucagon administration during these studies, we found the use of glucagon reduced the frequency of hypoglycemia by about 75%. However, the fact that approximately 25% of administrations of glucagon are ineffective remains a concern.
The primary question to be addressed by this study is, in the setting of low dose subcutaneous glucagon administration, how do plasma glucagon and plasma insulin quantitatively interact? In other words, as the rate of insulin administration is increased, how much more glucagon is necessary to overcome the effect of insulin to prevent hypoglycemia? This study is designed to address this question. Subjects will be brought in to a Legacy Hospital for four 10 hour experiments on each of four separate days. On each study day, there will be a continuous infusion of a different rate of IV Regular insulin in order to achieve different steady state free insulin levels. At each insulin level, there will be four subcutaneous glucagon doses given. Octreotide will be infused by IV at a constant rate to suppress endogenous production of glucagon. A stable glucose isotope will also be infused to allow for measurement of hepatic glucose production and glucose turnover. Arterialized venous blood glucose will be measured by the HemoCue Glucose 201 Analyzer.

I am getting up there and my lips were looking very thin and I wanted a fuller lip. We also did a little Juvederm around the nasal folds which turned out great and Botox around my eyes and forehead...boy and I cute now! Figure this will last close to a year so well worth the cost and no down time!
Awesome, Natural Looking Lip Enhancement! - Dallas, TX
I am getting up there and my lips were looking...
Dr. Polder was so knowledgeable when I was asking her about lip enhancement. I'd had some Juvederm injections before for my lips but didn't see any difference so I explained to her what I wanted and she listened! She explained the appropriate balance of upper and lower lip size and when she was done, my lips were perfect! Bigger but very natural looking! I am SO happy with the result!!

Good to know! I agree, being numb for a while isn't too fun. Thanks for filling me in :)

The one thing you should be sure you do, is, if you take an aspirin a day (I do) stop that for a week to 10 days before the procedure. No guarantee that you won't have a bruise or two but it makes a difference!!

That is amazing the numbing cream works that well! Do you remember how long it was left on to get that good of an effect?

Love hearing how good your results came out!
I've had Botox, but haven't tried any fillers...how much more did the filler hurt going in?

European funds are increasingly eyeing LatAm PE in an effort to gain exposure to the growth in middle class consumption.
But can they avoid the mistakes of the past?
The stock exchanges are quite small, and theres
not lots of listed companies on them, says Sven
Soderblom, a partner with Spanish firm Arcano Groups
asset management division which is also involved in private
equity. Arcano has about $1.4 billion assets under management,
with about 10%-15% in LatAm.
Most exchanges in LatAm still tend to be heavily weighted
toward companies in the natural resources sector, and offer
little in the way of consumer and retail...

Possibly because the "good things" happening in Iraq turn out to be sandcastles: "inspectors for a federal oversight agency have found that in a sampling of eight projects that the United States had declared successes, seven were no longer operating as designed because of plumbing and electrical failures, lack of proper maintenance, apparent looting and expensive equipment that lay idle."

The spectacular ruined settlement of HASANKEYF, an hour's dolmuş ride north of Midyat, is one of Turkey's most evocative historic sites. Poised on the very lip of a sheer cliff, carved from the mountainside by the swift-flowing waters of the Tigris, stands a remarkable series of remains of Selçuk, Arabic and Kurdish origin. Below the ruins, the Tigris is spanned by the arches of a vintage 1950s concrete bridge, itself overlooking the mighty piers of its medieval precursor. It's a photographer's dream, especially at sunset and sunrise, while a meal at one of the many simple fish restaurants lining the bank beneath the cliff is unforgettable.
While many of the four-thousand-plus caves in the surrounding hills were inhabited in prehistoric times, the original settlement was founded by the Romans as an eastern bastion of the empire, and later became the Byzantine bishopric of Cephe. In 640 AD, the conquering Arabs changed the town's name to Hisn Kayfa. During the twelfth century the Artukid Turcoman tribe decided to make Hasankeyf their capital, which it remained until the Mongols arrived in 1260. Hasankeyf then served as the stronghold of the Ayyubids, a clan of Kurdish chieftains supplanted by the Ottomans early in the fifteenth century.
The modern town of Hasankeyf is strung out either side of the road leading to the concrete bridge across the river. To reach the site, head to the southern end of the modern bridge, then turn left. The 1km road is lined by rows of souvenir stalls, selling everything from tasteful, locally woven goat-hair blankets to garish wall-hangings. Its initial section, fronting the river, holds simple restaurants – some with platforms out in the water at the foot of the cliff.
The first sight of note is the El Rizk Camii, built under the Ayyubids in 1409 AD, which has a beautiful minaret decorated with kufic inscriptions and tear-drop patterns, and is topped by a stork's nest. It also holds useful toilets.
The ticket booth, beyond the mosque, marks the start of the ascent to the cliff-top ruins. Climbing the time-polished stone pathway is demanding in the heat of the day. The path cuts back from the cliff edge and weaves up to the Ulu Camii, an evocatively ruined, partially restored Ayyubid mosque, built in 1305, which holds a long, narrow prayer hall, finely carved mihrab and truncated minaret. Scattered all around are the remains of abandoned houses, exposed cisterns (take care), and Muslim cemeteries and mausoleums. Below it, the twelfth-century building conjectured to be the palace of the Artukid kings is perched right on the cliff edge above the Tigris. At the time of writing, it was under excavation and off-limits.
Head back down the cobbled steps to the cliff top, now guarded by a rail, next to the so-called Kücük Sarayı or ''Small Palace", which is off-limits for safety reasons. The grill to the left guards the entrance to the stepped tunnel, which once gave secret access to the river below but has now been deemed unsafe. Look right to see the four massive pillars of the old Artukid bridge, once the largest in Anatolia. Its central span is thought to have been constructed from wood.
From the cliff top, you can also see the conspicuous fifteenth-century Zeyn El-Abdin Türbesi, a beautiful, onion-domed cylindrical building clad in glazed turquoise tiles and red brick, across the river to the left (northwest). To explore, head back down to the modern bridge, cross it and walk west for ten or fifteen minutes either along the main road or the river banks. Constructed in 1475, it was made for Zeynel Bey, the son of an Akkoyunlu sultan, Uzun (Tall) Hasan. Recent excavations around the tomb have revealed an extensive complex of buildings including a couple of medreses (theological schools).Read More
That sinking feeling: the drowning of Hasankeyf
That sinking feeling: the drowning of Hasankeyf
The remarkable historic site of Hasankeyf was put on the World Monuments Fund Watch List in 2008, as one of the hundred most endangered heritage sites in the world. Despite this, and a domestic and international outcry, much of the ancient city is almost certain to be drowned by the waters of the İlisu dam across the Tigris, part of the GAP project.
Pledges to save key elements of the site, including for example the brick-built Zeyn El-Abdin Türbesi, and remove them to a reservoir-side open-air museum are decried by critics, who say the remains are far too delicate to move. The most vociferous critics of the scheme are the eighty thousand or so locals who stand to be displaced by the flood waters. Several other groups also oppose it, including those who live downstream in Iraq, who fear the dam will wipe out their already scant water resources; Kurdish nationalists, who view the dam as a deliberate attempt to wipe out their cultural heritage; and assorted national and international environmental groups.
Meanwhile, work has started on the dam, 70km downstream of Hasankeyf, and a "new" concrete village of Hasankeyf can be seen emerging high on the slopes of the mountain across the river. Unhappy locals reckon the flood waters will subsume their homes by 2018 or 2019.

Study: Free birth control leads to fewer abortions (AP News)
Free birth control led to dramatically lower rates of abortions and teen births, a large study concludes. The findings were eagerly anticipated and come as a bitterly contested Obama administration policy is poised to offer similar coverage.
The project tracked more than 9,000 women in St. Louis, many of them poor or uninsured. They were given their choice of a range of contraceptive methods at no cost - from birth control pills to goof-proof options like the IUD or a matchstick-sized implant. (Read More)

The Barton Road Cemetery in St. Philips is believed to be the first in
Bristol following the return of Jews to England after the expulsion. There
is documentary evidence to suggest that it was first established between
1740 - 1750. (The earliest identified tombstone dates from 1762). Because
of the restrictions on Jews owning land it was leased for a number of years,
finally being acquired by the Bristol Jewish Community on 8th August
1859. It continued in use until the early 1900s with the final burial
taking place there in 1944. A fire in an adjoining building in 1901
resulted in one the Cemetery walls being demolished by firemen to
gain access to the blazing building. As a consequence, a number of
tombstones were toppled and graves flattened. The stones were
subsequently removed from where they had fallen and laid against the
boundary wall without any record of their original location.
In 1811 Lazarus Jacobs, an eminent glass maker, set aside part of his
Great Gardens dwelling in Rose Street for use as a private burial ground.
This burial ground was purchased from Isaac Jacobs by Moses Abraham in 1830
and, during the mid to late 1800s, was used for a relatively small number
of burials, the majority being in the St Philips Cemetery. The Great
Gardens site was compulsorily purchased by the Great Western Railway
in 1913 to extend the Goods Yard at Temple Meads but it was not until
September 1924 that 27 graves and tombstones were removed from there
to be re-interred in the Ridgway Cemetery under the supervision of
Mr. M. Nathan. Only about 50% of these tombstones remain partially
legible today.
The Ridgway Cemetery was purchased in several stages, the first section
being acquired in the late 1890s (the first burial was in 1898). The
second section was purchased in the late 1920s with the present prayer
house being dedicated in 1933. This cemetery continues in use today.
The information provided in this database covers over 200 years of
Jewish Burials in the following cemeteries -
Details of all burials are available on this database, together with
images of all legibile and partially legible tombstones as well as most

Egypt's government is no more. After days of violent clashes, a dramatic climax as the Egyptian military removed President Mohammed Morsi from power.
We spoke with an Egyptian journalist visiting the United States.
Kareem Awadallah was in Tahrir Square 18 months ago during the Arab spring.
He insists the ouster of President Morsi is not a military coup -- that the military is simply enforcing the will of the people.
"We started something and we didn't finish. The election of Morsi didn't really match the needs of the Egyptian revolution, so we are now finishing that," Awadallah told us via Skype.
Question: This is the growing pains you believe of the Arab spring that started all of this 18 months ago?
"I believe yeah. We are heading to a better direction. It's not a coup, it's a movement by the people and when it went into a phase where they needed backup the military said we will step in the benefit of the Egyptian people and we will support what the people want."
Awadallah believes the next Egyptian leader will be more moderate than Morsi.
He says the Muslim brotherhood which backed Morsi has completely lost credibility.

What is your poetry?
Poetry communicates what nothing other than poetry can. We all have those unspoken stories, the resounding silence and the brilliance of darkness that defy the structures of prose. Some of us can have poetry to speak for us, like Suheir does. Some of us do not have it and read it to know that someone else has spoken for us.
Leonard Cohen said, 'Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.'
How well is your life burning? How much ash did it gather? What is your poetry?

Alas! Poor Yorick!
When reading about politics, I consult the Christian Science Monitor, the LA or New York Times; the Atlanta Constitution ain't bad either!
For information on the economy, I read the Wall Street Journal, Forbes and the above newspapers.
For fun, I read Le Monde, Le Figaro, Le Canard Enchaine.
No, I do not rely on the Irrigator to provide information, news and world events as the above publications do so well.
The Irrigator provides fun with Ron Swift, the high school sporting events, a few very poor pictures and sometimes articles by locals who are admirably in a state of ennui and chagrin.
Such gamins and miscreants!
Please leave my friends alone. They don't do dirt!

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A new paperback edition of the revolutionary bestseller, with four million copies in print
Allen Carrs innovative Easyway method—which he developed after his own 100-cigarette-a-day habit nearly drove him to despair—has helped millions kick smoking without feeling anxious and deprived. Thats because he helps smokers discover the psychological reasons behind their dependency, handle the withdrawal symptoms, avoid situations when temptation might become too strong, and stay smoke-free. Carr discusses issues such as nicotine addiction; the social brainwashing" that encourages smoking; the false belief that a cigarette relieves stress; the role boredom plays in sabotaging efforts to quit; and the main reasons for failure. With this proven program, smokers will throw away their packs for good.
