You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh'ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don't let someone steal your tenderness. Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it's a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you- all of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.
I cannot live without books.
Keep on truckin
August 30, 1943: Happy birthday, R. Crumb! The underground cartoonist's work is often a satire of the glorious mess of the modern world. He illustrated the phrase "Keep on truckin'" and it became a popular hippie motto. Crumb turns 70 years old today.
When all else fails, there's always delusion.
It's not hoarding if it's organized.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My experience had been that this school was working hard to make academic progress. According to the PARCA report given annually this had been the case until a change in leadership.This school has a new principal who carries a paddle around and beats it on desks to get the students to listen. He also is rude to his teachers and raises his voice to them in an unprofessional manner. Many of the teachers have left the system or transferred to other schools.
This school is an okay school but since all the new teachers and stuff came in its been getting worse... if you send your child here he will love the memories ...Well until he gets to 8th grade XD
Girard isn't bad. Discipline begins at home. Most of the children that attend this school come to learn and get educated and there are those that only come to socialize and interrupt the learning process and there are places for these children. The principal is caring and goes Above and beyond for his students and faculty. Parents should be more involved and follow up on what is going on at the school. A great tool to use is Parent Portal or just call the school and request a conference 334-794-1426. I have a daughter that attended Girard grades 6-8 and is doing great. She is getting ready to graduate from North view. I have a daughter that attend Girard now and is wonderful but sometimes makes bad choices as at some point we all have and have to get focused and back on track. The teaches that teach my girls are absolutely wonderful. I haven't encountered a bad teacher at Girard . The counselors are great. The children have a choice they have access to more teachers, tools, counselors, education then ever before. Parents and students should be involved with all the educational opportunities. Math competitions. There are so many good things about this school. God Bless GMS! FM
Girard is the best. I am in the 6th grade and love it. I am really glad that i didn't go to Carver. I am not going to say that some of the student's don't misbehave ,but still overall Girard is not bad. The students get a choice of which exploratory they want computer,band,choir,or art. I picked band and play Alto Saxophone and our band/choir teacher is the best.(!!!!) Some teachers are really strict but some are pushovers. :( Our principal is awesome. The assistant principal and the girls assistant coach are okay. There are many more great things i can name about my school but i won't b/c by reading these few sentences you can tell Girard is the place to be!!!
I can't beleive school borad and parents of Girard. My son has 2 children at Girard in the 6th grade. All of the teachers there are the worst. They have no interest in the children only a pay check. School board please do something about Girard. Years ago it was a good school why have you the school broard let this school go down. Please get some good caring teachers at Girard. Get new teachers. Parents please voice your concerns about these teaches. Make Girard a good school again. Take some lessons from Kelly Springs. Get teaches like Kelly Springs has. They help the children and they care about them.
The teachers are amazing. The food is okay... Then again its cafeteria food. Overall i am so happy there and would no possible chance of me changing schools
I have been very disappointed with Girard Middle School for the 07-08 school year. I recieved poor teacher communication, I feel my child learned very little this year. He wont be going back, we've decided to move him out of that school. I also find it very strange that in the neighborhood where this school is located, the parents do not send their children to this school......Why is that ?
The principal and teachers are wonderful. The school and grounds are immaculate. The level of discipline is very strict, with lots of rules, and a dress code that is strictly enforced, but it results in what i feel is an incredibly safe environment. The only improvement i could suggest would be to get the tests graded in a timely manner and return the grades to the students so that they would have a better idea of their performance/standing ( if a student needs to bring their grades up, the last minute is not the time to realize it.)
I feel it is run in a backwards way. I remember things being this way 40 some years ago. The teachers could do a much better job of communicating with the parents.
I love my school! I am a 7th grader here at Girard Middle. There are many things for the students to be involved in. We have LINK which is Talent Pool, Un team, acadmeic team, and student goverment association which I belong to every one!! besides that we have office aides, lunchroom aides, basketball team, volleyball team team, cheerleading team, and much more! I feel so welcome here! There are black, white, hispanic, chinese, you name it! This school is a melting pot! I absolutley love it! It is awesome and everry child my age should have a chance to go to a school, at one point in thier life as so very awesome, welcoming, and F-U-N as this school! It is a great learning environment, the teachers are great, we have a wonderful bunch of students and just by stepping in the hallways for 5 minutes you will know what I mean!

Air traffic safety is under increased scrutiny by federal authorities following an incident in which two passenger jets landed without controller assistance at Reagan National Airport because no one could be reached in the airport tower.
An aviation official said that an air traffic supervisor — the lone controller on duty around midnight on Tuesday when the incident occurred — had fallen asleep. The official, who spoke on grounds of anonymity because an investigation is ensuing, said the incident has led the Federal Aviation Administration to launch a nationwide inquiry into airport tower staffing issues.
Peter Knudson, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday that the pilots of the two planes were in contact with controllers at a regional Federal Aviation Administration facility about 40 miles away in Warrenton, Va.
He said that after pilots were unable to raise the airport tower at Reagan by radio, they asked controllers in Warrenton to call the tower. Repeated calls from the regional facility to the tower went unanswered, Knudson added.
Responding to the incident, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement that he has directed FAA to put two air traffic controllers on the midnight shift at Reagan National.
"It is not acceptable to have just one controller in the tower managing air traffic in this critical air space," LaHood said. Reagan National is located in Northern Virginia just across the Potomac River from Washington.
LaHood also said he has directed FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt to study tower staffing at other airports around the country.
NTSB is gathering information on the occurrence to decide whether to open a formal investigation, Knudson said.
Regional air traffic facilities handle aircraft within roughly a 50 mile radius of an airport, but landings, takeoffs and planes within about three miles of an airport are handled by controllers in the airport tower.
The planes involved were American Airlines flight 1012, a Boeing 737 with 91 passengers and 6 crew members on board, and United Airlines flight 628T, an Airbus A320 with 63 passengers and five crew members.
"The NTSB is conducting an investigation and we are doing our own review," United spokesman Charles Hobart said in an email.
FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency "is looking into staffing issues and whether existing procedures were followed appropriately."
It's unlikely the safety of the planes was at risk since the pilots would have used a radio frequency for the airport tower to advise nearby aircraft of their intention to land and to make sure that no other planes also intended to land at that time, aviation safety experts said. At that time of night, air traffic would have been light, they said.
Also, controllers at the regional facility, using radar, would have been able to advise the pilots of other nearby planes, experts said.
The primary risk would have been if there was equipment on the runway when the planes landed, they said.
But the incident raises serious questions about controller fatigue, a longstanding safety concern, said John Goglia, a former NTSB board member.
"You have to watch your schedules to make sure (controllers) have adequate rest," Goglia said. "It's worse when nothing is going on. When it's busy, you have to stay engaged. When it's quiet, all they have to be is a little bit tired and they'll fall asleep."

3 Responses to "What happened in the control tower of Reagan Airport?"
We have a declared war on terrorism in effect. FAA controllers being government employees although not military fell asleep on 'guard duty'. The punishment traditionally during " real wartime" is summary execution.
Is 'Homeland Security' and their subsidiary TSA going to demand the maximum penalty for such malingering while on duty…?
Terrorists could have taken over the control tower and had a field day with traffic control. I'm surprise they don't have armed security at the elevators and stairwells to such along with armed guards 24/7 topside within major ATC towers monitoring for any unusal activity. Well I guess another useful 'thought' slipped through the cracks until there's a major disaster related to such a hypothetical. Hopefully they'll fire the overpaid slug who fell asleep while on "watch".
Nah, in a few months or less they'll promote the individual to a FAA Regional supervisors job. / : |
Carl Nemo **==
I'm looking forward to the story about Reagan firing an air traffic controller.
What happened, in a beautiful irony, is that Ronald Reagan fired the entire Air Traffic Controllers Union, and hired a bunch of scabs in their place. And now, at Reagan National Airport, in a situation that would have been forbidden under union rules, comes back to bite him.
Um, er, ah. Well, as is typical of all cost-cutting measures, those who cut the costs do escape with their bonuses happily before the cows come home. So Reagan, the fundamental cause of this, gets off scot-free.
However, when the cows do come home, guess who gets stuck with the bill?

Ever since Google's announcement of its mass digitization project including several high-profile university and public libraries in 2004, legal suits have accompanied its continuing development. Not long after the Authors Guild and the Association of American publishers sued Google for violation of copyright.
In the intervening years Google continued to add contributing library partners, including several non-US libraries to the project. After two years of negotiation in the Authors' and Publishers' law suit, a settlement was reached in 2008. The settlement avoided the need to get a ruling on the merits of the copyright issues
Instead an agreement was reached for Google to compensate the plaintiffs in exchange for the right to make millions of books available to the public. But the settlement triggered hundreds of objections from such stakeholders as journalist, fantasy writers, foreign authors and publishers and Google competitors, Amazon and Microsoft.
A revised agreement was also heavily challenged. The litigation continued until March 2011 when Judge Chin finally rejected the attempted settlement. The judge concluded that "the ASA is not fair, adequate, and reasonable." However, he urged the parties to consider further changes, esp.around the issue of going from an opt-out option for authors and publishers, to opt-in option for copyright holders.
All the while, Google has continued to scan materials from participating libraries. There was an explicit inclusion of some magazines by agreement with publishers, in 2008. While this limited addition of magazines was authorized back in 2008, the recent evidence of millions of additional magazines having been scanned by the Google Book Project, might raise additional new copyright claims from magazine article authors.
An article in the May issue of "AALL Spectrum", "Will Google Books Library Project End Copyright?", by Barbara Kevles, makes the case that Google has been including a massive inventory of magazines and periodicals in a system that claimed to be scanning books.
She says that periodical tiles do not belong as part of the Google Book settlement. She points out that the labeling of these works as "books" is disingenuous and incorrect. Also, since they have not been properly identified, there is no corresponding opt-out option as book authors would be provided.
Ms. Kevles sites the landmark Supreme Court case of "The New York Times Company ,Inc. v. Jonathan Tasisni, et al.", as a possible basis for magazine authors to claim compensation for their work product in the scanned periodicals. Under that decision major electronic databases and publishers have to "compensate freelance authors for the use of digitized articles displayed standing alone, outside their original context."
However, the "outside the original context" provision is key in deciding whether the writers can actually sue for compensation. Probably most of the magazines that were scanned by Google from the participating libraries, were probably all complete bound issues from their shelves.
Any single article is part of a magazine content that is presented to the end user in its original context which the publisher is entitled to make use of. If anyone were to sue Google for the unauthorized scanning and use of entire magazines, it would have to be the publishers or database owners.
While Ms. Kevles seems to be encouraging law suits by the writers or their associations. It is not clear whether they actually have standing to do so. However, as her article points out, the legal uncertainty created by all the litigation and lack of a widely accepted settlement, by itself, chills the market for subscribers to a Google Book product.
They may fear the legal uncertainty or potential copyright liability, still affecting these products. If the legal pot continues to be stirred, that might be an indirect way to restrain Google Books' scanning and distribution efforts.
The article makes an oblique reference to the recent decision in THE AUTHORS GUILD, INC. v. HATHITRUST in which a cooperative of non-profit libraries won convincingly on similar issues of fair use for transformative purposes, esp. for the benefit of print-impaired users. However, Ms. Kevles says that the Google is not a non-profit entity, and its scanning and distribution project should be seen as a commercial activity for its own economic benefit, at the possible expense of other economic actors.
She quotes from an Authors' Guild argument that "Google undertook the Library Project for commercial reasons…. to gain a competitive advantage over other participants in the search engine market, by offering a wealth of content not available elsewhere ... to attract visitors to its website, thereby increasing its attractiveness to advertisers."
Since non-profit status was one of the key factors in evaluating "the purpose and character of the use", in the Hathi Trust case. This line of argument might mean that the ruling in the Hathi case does not bar authors and publishers from continuing to pursue their case against Google, as a for-profit company.

Panthers Hold On For 10-7 Victory Over UALR
March 9, 2013
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Senior Cale Tassi allowed just one earned run in 7.0 innings and struck out nine and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team held on late to earn a hard-fought 10-7 victory over the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Saturday afternoon in the APSU Riverview Inn Classic at Raymond Hand Park.
The Panthers (4-8) built a lead of 8-3 in the top of the eighth before the Trojans (9-6) rallied. Senior Alex Erdmann came on in the ninth inning with the tying run at the plate to earn the save and close out the victory for Milwaukee.
"Baseball is a crazy game," UWM head coach Scott Doffek said. "Yesterday we played really well and lost and today we did not play as well as we could have and won. The real positive though was Cale Tassi. He was sharp today and it was great to see him get into a good rhythm. We did a nice job of making them make pitches and came up with some big two-out hits. We just need to find our focus in all aspects as we move towards conference play."
Sophomore Luke Meeteer went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs and freshman Mitch Ghelfi was 3-for-5 and scored a pair of runs. Sophomore Derek Peake added two hits and drove in three. Tassi (1-2) gave up just five hits in his outing, walking two to go with his nine punchouts.
The Panthers jumped on the scoreboard in the first inning on an RBI-single by senior Jonathan Capasso. UALR quickly tied it, but UWM went ahead by two in the second on a single by Meeteer and a sac fly from sophomore Michael Porcaro.
They tacked on from there, scoring another in the third and two more in the sixth inning on Peake's two-out, two-run single to make it 6-2 on the scoreboard. The Trojans made a dent in the deficit in the eighth, plating three runs after they were helped along by a pair of errors.
Freshman Nick Unes came through with a key two-out single in the ninth that added a pair of insurance runs.
Up 10-6 in the ninth, UWM allowed one run before UALR eventually loaded the bases with just one out. Erdmann then induced an infield pop up for out number two and a fly out to left to close it out.
The Panthers will wrap up the weekend with an 11 a.m. start Sunday, taking on Creighton University.

The 666th win for New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur could be one of the most costly.
The Devils goalie made 17 saves lead the Devils over the Florida Panthers, 2-1, at the Prudential Center. New Jersey paid a possibly huge price for the win. Ilya Kovalchuk left midway through the third period with an apparent right shoulder injury.
The right wing fell into the boards at 9:07 of the third period trying to curl around Colby Roback. He carried the puck down to the corner, but caught an edge. The 6-foot-3, 230 pound Russian fell into the end boards, his shoulder absorbing most of the collision. He remained down on the ice for a few seconds before skating off under his own power. He was not available to the media after the game.
Devils coach Peter DeBoer had no update on his condition, but said he expected Kovalchuk to be out for "a short time."
"Injuries are a part of this," he said. "Everybody is dealing with them. We have to be prepared for that. Coming into the season, we're prepared that we're going to have to lose key people and survive it. No one is feeling sorry for themselves."
"He's a huge part of our team," Travis Zajac said. "Every part of the game, he's dynamic. He makes our power play a lot better. Hopefully, it's nothing major and we can get him back. We need him here."
The Devils lost Tim Sestito less than a minute later. The center skated to the side boards for a loose puck when Robak slammed him into the boards. He stayed on the ice for a minute before heading off with Devils trainer Rich Stinziano. He also did not return and was unavailable to the media after the game.
David Clarkson scored the game-winning goal in the second period and Brodeur made that stand. The Devils goalie helped New Jersey win its second straight game and strengthen its hold on the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference. They lead the eighth-place Carolina Hurricanes by four points and trail the sixth-place Toronto Maple Leafs by one point.
"I think my brother is really excited about [win number 666]," Brodeur said after the game. "He already put in the call. He wants the stick; the whole thing. Maybe he's the real Devil."
Zajac had another strong game, finishing with two assists. It's the first time this season he's recorded multi-points in consecutive games.
New Jersey came out lifeless in the first period. They managed a season-low two shots on goal, both off the stick of Steve Bernier. Brodeur and the defense held them in the game, with Brodeur stopping all seven Panthers shots.
"We were standing still," Patrik Elias said. "We just threw the pucks at each other with no speed. Once we got in their zone, we had no support, so we couldn't get the pucks. We were just chasing."
"In the first, we came out a little bit asleep," Clarkson said. "We found a way to battle back. Marty held us in there, and in the second and third we came out and played hard."
Elias woke up New Jersey in the second period, scoring the game's first goal at the 1:24 mark.
Zajac took a loose puck at the Panthers blue line and skated into the right circle. He sent a pass to the Elias, crashing in the slot. The Devils left wing deflected it through the pads of Scott Clemmensen for his 10th goal of the season.
"We were fortunate to get the first goal, considering how we played in the first period," DeBoer said. "I thought we deserved to be behind."
Clarkson doubled the lead later in the period. Clemmensen stopped his initial shot from the left circle, but juggled the rebound. The puck fell in front of the crease, and Clarkson knocked it into the net for his 12th goal of the season.
"The rebound just sat in the part of the pad where it bends, and I kept digging and digging," Clarkson said of his score. "A little grinders goal."
Peter Mueller cut the lead to 2-1 with under ten seconds left in the period. Thomas Fleischmann stripped Brodeur behind the Devils net and found Mueller in front. The Panthers forward put it into the open net for his seventh goal of the season.
Brodeur started his second straight game after missing 13 with a pinched nerve in his neck/back.
"There wasn't much time. I could have thrown it into the corner and not tried to make a play," he said. "The more you play, the more you start adjusting to situations when you get the puck back there."
It was the single blemish on an otherwise outstanding night for the Devils netminder. He had a strong second period, shutting down rookie Jonathan Huberdeau. The first stop came on a Florida power play. Mueller found Huberdeau in the slot with a pass from the side boards, and the rookie moved the puck to his backhand. Brodeur stopped his shot from the slot with his right pad.
He robbed another Panthers rookie later in the period, sliding across his crease to pad away a shot from Quinton Howden on a two-on-one opportunity.
Clemmensen made 23 saves in his first career loss against New Jersey. The former Devils draft pick, Clemmensen went 33-20-5 in 65 games with the Devils from 2001-2007.
"I was thinking of him a little bit at the other end," Brodeur said. "It's always fun to play against old teammates. He's having a rough go in Florida, but tonight he looked pretty good."
The injury to Kovalchuk put a damper on a solid performance from New Jersey.
"Anybody that goes down right now in this room is important to this team," Clarkson said. "He's played through a lot of things I've seen him play through. When he goes down like that it's scary, but hopefully he's alright."
Game Notes
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Brodeur is the first goaltender in NHL history with 100 wins at two different arenas. He earned his 100th win at the Prudential Center last night and reached that mark at Brendan Byrne Arena/Continental Airlines Arena.
New Jersey outshot its opponents for the 13th straight game.
Zajac has a season-high three game point streak. He has five points (1g, 4a) during the streak.

We turn to 8TRACKstudios time after time for all our marketing and communication needs. I couldn't recommend David and his team more highly!"

Dan Finn – Finn Financial Group
"After frustratingly trying to design my own website using a template for a company I was starting, a colleague recommended I contact David Trotter and I'm eternally grateful for the introduction. I initially met with David for about an hour or so during which time he mostly listened. He asked some questions about my business but mostly let me tell him, in my own words, what I was trying to do. His intuition was almost mystical. From our brief talk and some direction I gave him, he designed a logo, slogan, website (graphics and content), took photographs, designed complementary brochures, stationery and business cards all within my budget. In no time flat, I had a professional image and was an established presence on the web. I have received countless compliments on my website. David always kept his word and always kept me informed. He continues to be available for additional marketing needs as my business evolves and I know he will long be the first, and probably only call I'll ever need to make. I have given his name to others looking for a marketing boost for their company or nonprofit and am only too happy to recommend him if you're looking for someone who can help you realize your vision."
Paul Martin – Holy Trinity Church
"Our organization contracted 8TRACKstudios to help with graphic design. They far succeeded our expectations. Their team spent inordinate amounts of time first understanding our needs. From there, they moved us from concept to completion, supplying us with a very clear timeline, task list, thoughtful communication strategy and the best in graphic design. They promised small, and delivered big. Their fees were very affordable. For that, we give 8TRACKstudios our highest recommendation."
Steve Morris – Morris Music, Inc.
"I contacted 8TRACKstudios to ask for a review and suggestions on updating my music publishing company's website. David was very creative, and in short order had redesigned the site to a far more professional level than it's original design created some 10 year ago. I am happy to recommend David's work to anyone considering new or updated website design work."
Suresh Kumar – Harvest India
"8TRACKstudios is a great tool and blessing to Harvest India. The creative ingenuity of the professional team has grown and encouraged greatness though our ministry. 8TRACKstudios offers professional and personal detailed service to develop and grow media development to benefit a wide spectrum of business needs.

Dear Foreign Service Colleagues,
Implementation of the United Airlines PetSafe waiver for the Foreign Service is not going smoothly. Some of this may have to do with post-merger management challenges, but many problems and unanswered questions persist and AFSA will continue to address them and seek clarification.
Your feedback on the problems encountered or overcome in traveling or attempting to travel with your animal companions is both welcome and needed, please continue to e-mail your experiences to email@example.com. AFSA needs to collect this data in a central location for use in our ongoing campaign.
As a reminder, AFSA posts information and links to relevant materials as they become available at www.afsa.org/pets. The previous update from May 17 is linked here. Below is the latest update, including some United documents that may assist you in your efforts to book transportation for your pets.
To date, our collective effort has resulted in some practical pluses:
The big issues still outstanding are:
On May 25, United VP Hershel Kamen responded to AFSA's letter of May 15, which sought clarification on points in Kamen's letter of May 1. You can read the May 25 full text of United's letter at the link below. The points below raise a number of questions for which we are seeking further clarification:
You will recall that United's Senior Vice President Heshel I. Kamen's letter of May 1st said that "effective June 1, 2012, Foreign Service Personnel will be able to transport their pets as checked luggage at the terminal ticket counter areas." The letter also states that while Foreign Service Personnel will not be required to ship the pet as "cargo," "checking a pet [in crate] incurs [PetSafe/cargo] rates charged under the United PetSafe program." Reservations can be made under this program beginning May 20, for pets weighing 99.9 pounds or less with travel crate and travelers with pets will not be required to use professional pet shippers. This is verified in United's Customer Service Bulletin 12-49R, an internal United document which we are still analyzing.
AFSA sent a letter on May 15 seeking clarification of some of the points in United's May 1 letter. United's May 25 response is posted to our website here. AFSA is preparing a response to this letter. We would like United to provide AFSA the following:
AFSA post reps in a couple of countries have obtained and sent us copies of United's Customer Service Bulletin and Ramp Services Advisory. You may find it useful to refer to the Customer Service Bulletin CSB 12-49R if you find yourself dealing with United agents and employees who appear to be unaware of the waiver for Foreign Service personnel. This bulletin announces the waiver extension to Foreign Service personnel on PCS travel orders and explains what actions United/PetSafe should be taking for U.S.Military and Foreign Service personnel under the "waiver" and why. United's Ramp Services Advisory contains the instructions United personnel are provided for handling pets under the waiver.
AFSA will keep you informed as more information comes in. Please keep sending detailed feedback and any information about how United is or is not implementing the waiver. We will continue to work to clarify the outstanding issues and do all we can to ensure that:

In his crowded workshop fit snugly on the corner of Hudson Ave. and South Water Street in Peekskill, Earl Johnson works putting the soul back into lost and broken shoes. Known as the (the name of his shoe repair store) to locals, Johnson is one of the only shoemakers in town and offers much more than shoe and leather restoration and repair.
Johnson specializes in horse saddles and larger things like awnings, and is also a DJ, keyboardist and driftwood artist. Since he moved his shop to Peekskill from Beacon three and a half years ago, he has started a big band, ballroom music group called the Rhythm Brothers. The group is a DJ band that incorporates singers from around the region and musicians on the horns.
"When Johnny sings you would think Frank Sinatra is in the room with you," Johnson said of singer John Forcelli, of Fishkill.
Johnson has a passion for the big band music of the 1940s. You'll hear it playing in the background if you visit him at his shop, where large beautiful driftwood birds and other sculptures peer down on you from 10-foot high shelves, on which bags of repaired boots, purses and leather goods are placed.
"There are a lot of DJs here that play newer music and they leave out a whole generation. I'm reaching out to do a whole new thing and always thinking of how to add a new twist to it," Johnson said.
He recently held a well-received event at the and is looking for other similarly ballroom appropriate venues to hold his shows, he said. Johnson hopes to rent a tent on the Peekskill waterfront this summer for a concert. He emphasized that the mix of recorded and live music provides a bigger sound with more instruments.
"I want to show Peekskill how nice it would be (to have a ballroom style show)," Johnson said.
Patch will bring you the latest on Johnson's next show.
The Sole Man Shoe Repair is located at 52 Water Street, Peekskill. It is open Mondays through Saturdays. M-F hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday hours are 10 to 3 p.m.

Pundits Weigh in on Their Primary Winner PicksBy Daniel Cherry | Published 01 Aug 2011 09:07pm |
The U-S Justice Department will be monitoring Mississippi's primary elections today. Officials will be in 11 counties to ensure black voter's rights are protected. Across the state the polls just opened, and MPB's Daniel Cherry talks with the experts about their predictions in today's election.
Every statewide office and legislative seat, is up for grabs today in the primary election. Two popular Mississippi political pundits are giving their predictions on who wins the statewide seats. Republican analyst Andy Taggart says the hottest race to watch today is between Billy Hewes and Tate Reeves for Lieutenant Governor. He expects Hewes to win...but not by much.
""I will tell you that the buzz makes me feel as though the momentum that Hewes has enjoyed in the last two weeks has brought him a long way, really fast, to make up a lot of ground, and the question of course is: has he come far enough, fast enough?"
Taggart also says he's picking Phil Bryant to easily win the Republican gubernatorial nomination. The only contested statewide primary by Democrats is for governor with two main candidates. There Bill Luckett has more money. But Johnny DuPree has done more campaigning on the ground. Democratic pundit Jere Nash says that makes it a tough one to call right now.
"It will be interesting to see which one of those campaigns gets traction. Whether the overwhelming about of money that Bill Luckett has been able to spend will be enough to overcome a pretty effective ground operation in the Democratic primary."
So far these primaries haven't seen many political showdowns or highly exciting races. Dr. Marty Wiseman is the director of the Stennis Institute of Government. He says the most sparks are going to come from the Lt. Governor's race.
"Races like that between two very good candidates do tend to tighten up inevitably as you approach election day, and I think that's exactly what's happened here. I don't know anybody that's willing to make a call on how that's going to come out."
The polls are open until 7 o clock this evening.

Falcons wear big bull's-eye
PROVO, Utah - The record doesn't exactly show it. The final scores don't necessarily reflect it. But make no mistake, during the first half of its Mountain West Conference schedule, Air Force didn't just beat some of its opponents.
The Falcons embarrassed them. And so today Air Force will begin the second half of conference play facing what is sure to be a common theme over the final eight games: an opponent in BYU that has been waiting for a chance at payback. "We know that we will get BYU's very best punch," Falcons coach Jeff Bzdelik said. As well they should. In the first meeting Jan. 5, Air Force buried the Cougars 75-59 on national television. And the final score didn't re- flect the severity of that beating. Air Force raced out to a 42-16 lead late in the first half and didn't need to do much but run out the clock from there. The Falcons stuck to a similar script in blowout victories against TCU, Utah and Colorado State at Clune Arena. Air Force knows it will have to beat a lot of revenge-minded teams in order to stay in contention for the conference title. The Falcons are one game behind San Diego State, which plays tonight at Colorado State. "Teams aren't going to let you come in and walk on them back-to-back times," senior guard Antoine Hood said. "The ante is up for everybody. You've got to bring it. You've got to want it more than the other team." Unlike those other three blowout victims, the conference title and a postseason bid are very much in play for BYU. On Jan. 25, BYU was 2-3 in the league and down seven points at home to lowly TCU with less than a minute to play. But the Cougars stormed back, won in overtime and followed up with road victories at Colorado State and New Mexico to end the first half at 5-3. "They've been playing great, probably better than anybody in the Mountain West Conference right now," Bzdelik said. In addition to the momentum, BYU also should have a big crowd on its side at the 22,700-seat Marriott Center. Athletic department officials this week dropped upper-bowl ticket prices to $1 for the game. With all of that going against them, the Falcons know they'll have a much bigger challenge on their hands than they did in the first meeting. "They're going to come at you with a different game plan than before, so you have to be prepared for them to change it up against us," forward Dan Nwaelele said. "It's a lot more intense (playing a team a second time). You've got to be able to execute more." CONTACT THE WRITER: 636-0258 or email@example.com AFA WOMEN NEXT Teams: No. 19 BYU (18-1, 8-0) at Air Force (11-8, 2-6) Tipoff: 2 p.m., Clune Arena Radio: 1300 AM Series: BYU leads 15-0 About the Cougars: BYU is coming off a 60-55 victory over No. 16 New Mexico, a victory that extended their winning streak to 10 games. The Cougars won despite two starters fouling out. BYU has not lost since Dec. 21 to North Carolina State, 67-65. They have scored at least 60 points in 14 straight games. Doherty graduate Ambrosia Anderson leads the team with 18.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. About the Falcons: They are coming off a 76-60 win at Colorado State. They lost 64-43 in the earlier meeting with BYU. Alecia Steele leads a balanced offense with 10.3 points per game and also averages 6.8 rebounds.

Conventional wisdom says to be a great leader, we must imitate other great leaders' successes. So for decades, business books have fed us story after story of successful leaders, insisting that the only right path is to mimic these individuals. Why do we assume copying someone else's strategies and actions will lead to success on our own journey? Our research actually shows most leaders don't learn this way at all. In fact, the most common method they use to develop and enhance leadership skills is trial and error—the key word being "error." Clearly, there are two sides to every story. And most of us have only seen half the story when it comes to being a great leader.
The Wisdom of Failure challenges conventional wisdom. Instead of providing a list of actions leaders must take, qualities they must develop or steps they must follow, we delve into the darker (and frankly, more interesting) side of leadership. We explore the failures and pitfalls of leadership at all levels by talking to leaders from various industries about the mistakes they've made and witnessed in their careers. Through guidelines and key takeaways, we reveal the critical attributes great leaders share—and more importantly, contrastthose attributes with the deal-breaking mistakes that can cost leaders their jobs and threaten their companies' survival. Additionally, we show aspiring leaders how they can transform their own company cultures – viewing mistakes as growth opportunities rather than failures.

Yoon Jung Lee: Korean American Film Director of "Remember O Goddess"
My name is Yoon Jung Lee, and I'm a film director and visual artist. I've made various short films/media-performances/installations and exhibited them internationally, winning several awards.
I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I graduated from Sogang University in English Literature before completing MFA in Film & Video at California Institute of the Arts in 2005. As a visual artist, my experimental works have been introduced at galleries and museums. I also work as a visual director in various performances and as an editor for independent films as well as working in the directing team on feature movie projects. I was the script supervisor for the movies "THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD" (directed by Jee-woon Kim) and "MY SWEET, YET BRUTAL SWEETHEART" (directed by Jae-gon Son).

Purchase tickets to the Wedding Palace soon!Â
Konnect Magazine Sponsors "House of Suh†for the 2010 Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival
(By Moses Yoon) I've always been inspired by people who love what they do – whether it be teachers, artists, doctors, pastors, etc. There is something the drives them for the long haul. What is more remarkable are people who "work" – yet, they actually don't feel like they are working. Aren't you at times envious that people love what they do for a living that they don't consider it work?
That's how I view my long time high school buddy, Joe Kim. I remember the many Saturday nights when I'd pick him up at his house to watch movies at the 309 Cinema near Montgomeryville, Pa (Anybody who used to watch movies there, well, it's like a ghost town there now). We loved watching movies together. He was my movie buddy – him and me. No joke. I think that is when he developed a big heart for movies and the entertainment industry. In fact, he went to Temple to study film. Now, he and a group of other film enthusiasts are launching their 3rd annual Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival on October 21st to 24th, 2010.

Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz went to bat for himself with an expletive-filled reponse to insinuations that he might have used performance-enhancing drugs in the past.
Ortiz was angered by MLB Network analysts while commenting about Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nelson Cruz's 50-game suspension as part of the Biogenesis investigation that Ortiz might have received a "free pass."
Ortiz's name was on a list of players who apparently tested positive in 2003 during Major League Baseball survey testing.
"In this country, nobody gets a free pass," Ortiz said, according to WEEI.com. "He wants to make it sound like I got a free pass because nobody can point fingers at me directly. But the reason why I got that fake (expletive) free pass that he's saying is because they pointed fingers at me with no proof.
"It's easier to do it that way than having something that they can say, 'Yes, you did this, you did that.' My (expletive), I call straight-up bull. Let me tell you. You don't get no free pass here, especially a guy like me. I don't get no free pass. That free-pass B.S. that they want to talk about over there, they can shove it up their (expletive)."
Less than a year removed from the suspension, Cruz leads the major leagues home runs (28) and RBIs (78) this year and was voted to the All-Star Game. Cruz went 5-for-5 on Saturday night in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Red Sox and starter John Lackey.
After the game, Lackey said of Cruz, "There are some things I'd like to say, but I'm not going to. You guys (the media) forget pretty conveniently about stuff," Lackey said, according to ESPN.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter responded Sunday by saying, "Everybody needs to make sure that their own backyard is clean."
Red Sox manager John Farrell defended Ortiz.
"I will say this, the 2003 test I think that's being referred to ... I don't know how many times David has been tested since then," Farrell said Tuesday. "Whatever that number is, I'm sure it's a very high one.
"He's tested clean every single time. It's unfortunate that the innuendo continues to follow him. He's a heckuva player, one hell of a hitter. There's no reason other than hard work and talent that's produced that."

You can also fund tax-advantaged retirement savings with income from a second job or side business -- a good thing to build up now, since you'll want to continue earning something in retirement.
Say you're making $5,000 a year selling jewelry on eBay (EBAY, news). You may be able to put it all away, pretax, in a simple IRA or other savings plan designed for the self-employed.
Investing with a late start
How should you invest your retirement funds? Most 401k plans have a number of mutual-fund options, and money in an IRA can be invested almost anywhere. Due to the continued volatility of stock markets, Hudick recommends low-cost bond funds for savers who are just getting started. That's because the chance of a loss of principal is minimal with bonds. The last thing that older savers need is to see a portfolio losing 20% of its value in the next stock market bust.
As your nest egg grows, you'll want to look more closely at stocks. Low-cost index mutual funds can be a good place to start.
Perhaps the biggest problem in starting a retirement plan later in life is the loss of an opportunity to capture the magic of compound interest.
At a 5% annual growth rate, an investment doubles in size in 15 years; at 4%, doubling takes 18 years. But even if you're in your 50s, you can still take advantage of compounded returns. That's because your retirement is likely to run upwards of 20 years. That's a sufficient period for investments put away today to bear fruit.
As you get the savings going, it's time to figure out where you stand financially and what you'll need. It's not hard to draw up a family net worth statement listing assets and liabilities, and an income statement showing income and expenses over the past year.
There are competing rules of thumb about the proportion of current net income you'll need to sustain yourself in retirement, ranging from 60% to 80% or more. But if you're new to retirement savings, don't be paralyzed because you won't reach those goals. Simply do the best you can and keep in mind that you're not starting from zero.
Learn what you're entitled to
This is a good time to paw through your files and find evidence of pensions you may be entitled to. For example, you may well have earned a monthly stipend from a previous employer.
Even more significant is Social Security, which replaces 42% of the salary of a median wage earner who retires at the "full" or "normal" retirement age -- 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954.
Replacement rates are higher than that for low-wage workers and lower for high earners. Plus, the replacement rate is higher for one-earner couples when spousal benefits are factored in.
Every dollar that comes from Social Security is one less dollar you otherwise have to provide for. (You can get an estimate of your Social Security benefits here.)
Although you can start drawing early retirement benefits from Social Security at age 62, it pays to wait. Delaying benefits is crucial if you got a late start to retirement saving. Postponing the start of Social Security benefits until age 70 can boost the monthly payout by as much as 80%.
Here comes the tough-love part. You're going to have to reduce your style of living. It's as simple as that.
Consider moving to a smaller home that's less expensive to own and operate, or even renting an apartment. (The first $500,000 of any gains on a principal residence sold by a couple is tax-free, meaning more to invest now.)
Even more dramatically, consider relocating in retirement to an area with a significantly lower cost of living.
It doesn't take a lot to start building that nest egg. A saver who puts $500 a month into a tax-deferred account -- assuming a 4% annual return, compounded monthly -- would have $74,000 in 10 years. That may not seem like much but, at current rates, that sum would buy a 68-year-old husband and wife an annuity paying out $433 a month for as long as either of them is alive.
This article was reported by William P. Barrett for Forbes.
"Although you can start drawing early retirement benefits from Social Security at age 62, it pays to wait."
No, it does not always pay to wait.
From age 62 on, no matter when you start drawing Social Security benefits, you'll have received the same amount at your actuarial age of death. For boomers born in the late 1940s, for example, they're "expected to live" - their life expectancy - is 79 or 80 years.
If they begin drawing benefits at 62, 66, or 70, they'll have collected the same amount at that age of 79 or 80.
Clearly, those dying earlier than their life expectancy age would have done better to have not waited, but to have begun collecting as early as possible. (And those dying long after that time would indeed do well to begin collecting as late as possible.)
It also bears noting that some may wish to draw benefits early not because they need the money to live on, but because they have investment opportunities. These individuals may well find the smartest thing they ever did was draw reduced benefits at first light, instead of wait years for a higher payout, when both their opportunities and the time of their life have dwindled.
I retired before I was 50 years old. I saved a lot of money. Now I have to worry about running out of money before the end of my life because all of my kids need financial help and I don't want them and their kids to be moving in with me. If I were to refuse to help them I know what would happen and that would be the worst thing. Thanks to what is happening in the US I and millions of other people have no income from interest now. I receive year end statements from a full service investment Co. and another on line stock trading firm with almost nothing in interest paid. Fortunately I have done well in the stock market during the last two years but along comes the problems in Egypt and Libya and thirty thousand disappears immediately.
Lynn X
True Patriot has it right.
The too big to fail banks are considered too big because the politicos don't want to lose their contributions. I say small business promotes liberty; big business diminishes liberty; and big govt precludes liberty. The "too big to fail" are actually too big to be permitted!!!
Excessive power corrupts in govt and in business..
My plan is to bury my retirement savings in the back yard - then claim no income only to recieve a socialist check because I have no income. The socialist check will keep up with inflation and taxes and I'll make more then, than I will if I "invest" with a 401K and be taxed to death as I withdraw.
Not really - but maybe a good idea.

The City of Harrisburg has been awarded a $900,000 loan to repair damage caused by a sinkhole last year.
State Senator Rob Teplitz (D-Dauphin/York) said the low-interest loan, administered by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST), would go toward repairs in the 2100 block of N. 4th Street.
Water and sewer lines were damaged by a sinkhole in the area last December.
City Council Public Works Chair Sandra Reid told abc27 the city is waiting for UGI to finish gas line repairs before crews can re-pave the road.
Teplitz additionally announced that the Harrisburg Authority received a $26 million low-interest loan through PENNVEST to upgrade the city's wastewater treatment facility.
He said the improvements will bring the plant's ammonia and nutrient reduction requirements into compliance with the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection.
The $53 million project will also receive $26.7 million in outside financing and a $973,000 H20 PA grant, he said.

Waste services leader Clean Harbors Inc. will acquire Safety-Kleen Inc. Kleen for $1.25 billion, the U.S.-based company has announced.

The acquisition of Safety-Kleen and its 200 facilities in North America will fulfill a number of Clean Harbors' strategic objectives, the company says.
"Safety-Kleen's talented group of employees is joining an exceptional, well-managed company with a track record of success," said Robert Kraycraft, Safety-Kleen's president and CEO.
