Softball Splits Two With Chattanooga
Saturday, March 23, 2002Chattanooga, Tenn. (March 23, 2002)-- East Tennessee State fell 9-1 but then prevailed 3-1 to split a doubleheader against Southern Conference rival Chattanooga Saturday afternoon at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn. Chattanooga jumped out on top early, scoring three runs in the bottom of the second. They would add another run in the bottom of the third and three in the fifth before the Bucs would strike in the top of the sixth. After sophomore pitcher Tiffany Vandergriff (Sale Creek, Tenn.) walked with two outs and then stole second. She would score on a single to center field by freshman outfielder Danielle Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.). But that was all that ETSU's offense could muster against Chattanooga starter Beth Alexander as the Lady Mocs plated three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to make the score 9-1 and end the game. Vandergriff (3-4) went the distance, allowing eight earned runs on 10 hits, striking out one in 5.1 innings of work. Spetar and sophomore left fielder Rhea Holler (Peoria, Ariz.) collected the only hits of the game for the Bucs, both singles. Beth Alexander fanned 12 Bucs, which was just one shy of her own school record. Interestingly, Alexander struck out 13 ETSU batters last season to set the record. Alexander (12-2) had a perfect game through four innings and yielded just two hits and one walk on the day. Jada Pescatore set a new school record with seven RBIs for Chattanooga in a game to lead the Lady Mocs. She smashed two three-run homers and was at the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth. UTC broke on top in the first inning of the second game on a RBI double by Jill Crawford, which plated Melissa Ramirez who had doubled earlier in the inning. ETSU came back with three runs in the fifth when Spetar stroked a three-run double to right-center, which chased UTC starter Awbrey Winckler. Sophomore designated player Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.) and freshman pinch hitter Amy Moore (Jacksonville, Fla.) drew back-to-back walks to start the inning and one out later, Vandergriff was intentionally walked. Spetar spoiled the strategy with a deep double in the gap. UTC had chances to score but stranded eight runners, including two each in the sixth and seventh. ETSU senior pitcher Marsha Giles (Jonesborough, Tenn.) (5-5) pitched around six walks with one strikeout and five hits to record the victory. Spetar went 2-4 with 3 RBI in game two of the series. Vandergriff collected the other hit of the afternoon for ETSU. ETSU (13-12 overall, 3-2 SoCon) and Chattanooga (18-8, 3-1) play the final game of their series Sunday at 1 p.m. at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Museums Count Workshop: Data Definitions Expert Reviewers Group
January 25, 2011
IMLS Press Contact
Mamie Bittner,
Washington, DC—
On January 25, IMLS, together with White Oak Institute and the American Association of Museums will convene a group of museum experts to discuss data definitions for Museums Count, an IMLS initiative to build a comprehensive, real-time, web-based database of museums in the United States.
Lack of comprehensive information about the scope and size of the museum sector is a significant barrier to the development of sound museum policy in the US and also contributes to difficulty in sharing information among museums.
"To be successful, this effort must engage a broad cross section of museums and provide useful data for practioners, the public, researchers and policy makers. We are delighted that this project has generated so much enthusiasm," said Susan Hildreth, director of IMLS. "Museums Count is an important step toward building a stronger evidence-based story about the integral role museums play in urban and rural communities across the United States."
The purpose of the meeting is to develop a short list of high priority data elements and definitions that will be used to establish baseline information to characterize the US museum sector. The IMLS definition of museum includes aquariums, arboretums, botanical gardens, art museums, children's museums, general museums, historic houses and sites, history museums, nature centers, natural history and anthropology museums, planetariums, science and technology centers, specialized museums, and zoological parks.
IMLS will provide future opportunities for all interested parties to review and comment on the data elements and definitions.
IMLS is planning for a May 2011 launch of the Museum Count website and will encourage every museum in the US to participate.
Participants in the January 25 meeting include:
Christine Anagnos, Association of Art Museum Directors
Jessica Cahail, Pew Cultural Data Project
Margo Carlock, Virginia Association of Museums
Randy Cohen, Americans for the Arts
Brian Crockett, Independent consultant
Terry Davis, American Association for State and Local History

Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis? Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. Most develop in the lower leg or thigh, but they can also occur in your arm, chest and other locations.
Why is DVT a problem? The danger of DVT is the possibility that the blood clot will break loose, travel through the blood stream and lodge itself in one of the smaller blood vessels of the lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism (PE), a very serious condition. (Pulmonary=of the lung, Embolism=obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has broken loose.) The lodged blood clot then blocks blood flow to that area of the lung, causing serious life-threatening consequences and, potentially, death.
A pacemaker, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or a catheter in an arm vein can increase your chances of developing DVT in the upper body, as these can irritate your vein walls and cause a clot to form. Having cancer near a vein is also a risk factor for DVT.
If a PE is suspected, additional tests will be needed for diagnosis.
Thrombolysis – a procedure that dissolves the clot. In this procedure, your doctor injects clot-dissolving drugs through a catheter directly into the clot. Your doctor may use thrombolysis if you are likely to develop a pulmonary embolism or if you have DVT in your arm.
Trellis Peripheral Infusion System – a procedure that isolates the clot and prepares the area for targeted treatment. It is designed to remove clots from the veins quickly in order to help restore normal blood flow and reduce symptoms.
Venous Thrombectomy – for people who have a severe form of DVT called phlegmasia cerulea dolens, which does not respond to non-surgical treatment. This surgery removes the clots from the veins. If not adequately treated, phlegmasia cerulea dolens can cause gangrene (death of tissue in the body that does not receive enough oxygen and blood), which can lead to amputation.
Vena Cava Filter – for people who are not candidates for blood thinning medication or if the medication did not reduce the clots. A vena cava filter is a device inserted into a major vein to prevent a blood clot that breaks away from entering the lungs. For very high risk patients, a filter may be used in addition to blood thinning medications.

Openbox, the desktop environment of my choice
Through the times I have been using Linux, I have tried numerous of window managers. At first back when Gnome was not what it is today I was mainly fascinated by Enlightenment, however it was always too bloated and sluggish for the computers I tried to use Enlightenment on 10 years or so ago. As distributions started to cater to the desktop users and Gnome became the standard desktop environment for the installations of a desktop Linux distribution, I naturally was using Gnome because I found it sufficient for all my desktop needs.
Granted the Gnome desktop environment with all its bells and whistle is great for many users. As I first installed Archlinux on my desktop computer, I did of course think I wanted all the bells and whistles that the Gnome desktop environment and Ubuntu had previously provided me. The installation of Gnome on Archlinux is a long and arduous task and in the end the experience will not match the one which Ubuntu will give you as Ubuntu provided their own added spice to the desktop environment that does not come as standard with Gnome.
Now I am using Openbox and I am glad I left my Gnome days behind me. Openbox is easily configured and very fast. I pieces together different Openbox themes I found around the internet and for my desktop environment I use nothing but openbox, no panels, no taskbar, no icons, no filemanager, it is just plain simplicity and I have yet again control over my desktop. The computer is faster then ever before, so simple to configure that even a newly initiated computing geek could do it and by moving away from the GUI in favour of using the command line through a terminal, accessing files and executing programs are easier and takes less time then ever before.

Friday, December 20, 2002JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 20, 2002) - Before heading off for a short Christmas break, the East Tennessee State University men's basketball team started the holidays off right with a 93-82 victory over non-conference foe Coastal Carolina Friday night at Memorial Center. Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) led the way for the Buccaneers (4-4) with a game-high 22 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. He was joined by true freshman point guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.), who continuously impressed the crowd of 3,280 with a thrill-a-minute style that resulted in 18 points, four assists and six steals. ETSU head coach Ed DeChellis said he was happy with the win, but believes his team is ready for a break after playing a grueling non-conference schedule that included road games at South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia and UNC Wilmington. "Again we seemed to play very well in spurts," said DeChellis, whose team will return to action Dec. 28 against Belmont College in the two-day South Florida Invitational in Tampa, Fla. "Obviously, Zakee - other than his free-throw shooting - played great tonight. "But we seemed to run like we were in mud, and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we're ready for a break. I think we need four or five days off to regroup, and I think the break will help us to play with more energy when we get back on the court." Indeed, DeChellis' assessment of the game was right on the mark. While Coastal Carolina (4-4) held a 7-1 lead, the Bucs put together a 27-12 led and built a 28-19 cushion by the 9:26 mark of the first half. Another 17-4 run followed shortly after and with 4:44 left in the first half ETSU led by 21 at 44-23. The Chanticleers managed to cut that lead back down to 16 at 50-34 by the intermission, but Coastal Carolina head coach Pete Strickland knew his team was having trouble safely controlling the basketball. "I think our 27 turnovers in the game was an indication of the problems we were having," Strickland said. "ETSU did a good job against our half-court defense and (Smith) showed a lot of poise for a freshman. He is very aggressive with the ball. "Wadood hurt us last year and he did it again to us this year." Coastal Carolina slowly managed to cut the Bucs lead down, trailing by just 12 points at 61-49 with 15:43 left in the game. However, ETSU pulled back out to a 20-point advantage when a James Anthony (Brandon, Fla.) layup made it 77-57 with 11:23 left. From there, ETSU got every player on the bench in the lineup and coasted to the 12-point victory. Along with Wadood and Smith, true freshman Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) put together a solid game with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting from the floor and Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) went 4-of-5 from the field and scored 11 points. For the Chanticleers, Torrey Butler led the way with 19 points, while teammates E.J. Gallup, Tony Darden and Mihai Raducanu pitched in 16, 13 and 10 points, respectively. Once again, ETSU will return to play Dec. 28th against Belmont in Tampa, Fla. Tipoff is set for 3:30 p.m.

Comprehensive Virtualization Management
Automate Data Disaster Recovery
VMware® vCenter™ Site Recovery Manager™ is the market-leading disaster recovery management solution, providing automated orchestration and non-disruptive testing of centralized recovery plans for all virtualized applications. It integrates natively with vSphere Replication and supports a broad set of high-performance storage-based replication products to reliably duplicate workloads across sites. A deployment founded on vSphere and complemented with Site Recovery Manager dramatically lowers the cost of DR through management and testing automation that eliminates the complexity of traditional disaster recovery. Site Recovery Manager ensures fast and highly predictable RPOs and RTOs with a DR strategy that is always up to date. Other virtualization platforms lack complete, integrated DR solutions, resulting in customers being forced to purchase 3rd party tools to make up for the end-to-end integration that VMware provides.
With VMware virtualization we know we can switch our business over to our backup datacenter anytime—and be up and running within a few hours. And it costs a fraction of what we paid for the third-party disaster recovery service we used before.Tim Moudry, Associate Director of IT, Myron Steves
In 2012, SRM was selected the best Business Continuity product in the Virtualization Review Reader's Choice Awards & Buyers Guide, and it won Gold in the Windows IT Pro Editors' Best and Community Choice Awards in the High Availability Product category.
Site Recovery Manager is the only solution to offer:
- Application-agnostic Recovery – through the abstraction of vSphere virtualization, Site Recovery Manager automates the recovery of any virtualized application with reliability and consistency.
- Centralized Recovery Plan – SRM replaces paper-based runbooks, offering centrally managed and easy to update recovery plans integrated into vCenter Server.
- Automated Failover and Failback – SRM fully automates recovery plans, including re-IPing and ability to run scripts as part of the plan and within virtual machines. In addition, Automated Failback allows reversing recovery plans, back to the original site.
- Broad Choice of Replication Technologies – SRM leverages vSphere Replication, which is bundled with the vSphere platform, providing flexible and cost-effective capabilities to expand DR protection. Site Recovery Manager also delivers support for a vast number high-performance storage-based replication products provided by the VMware Partner ecosystem.
No other virtualization platform vendors deliver on all six key elements. Learn how VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager can take the disaster out of data disaster recovery for your business.

How to Choose Snow and Ski Goggles
The right pair of goggles will eliminate glare and provide excellent eye and face protection for any rider during various weather conditions.
On clear days, goggles can cut the harsh glare caused by the reflection of the sun off of snow and ice and provide a barrier against dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays. In inclement weather, they can block sleet, snow and biting winds from pelting the sensitive eye area of your face and causing you to squint.
Ultraviolet (UV) Protection and Safety Standards:
Skiers and riders are especially at risk to UV rays. The wide expanse of snow that blankets the slopes provides the perfect reflecting board for UV rays to do damage to your eyes.
It's important to choose a pair of goggles that block out 100% of UV rays and to wear your pair in all types of lighting conditions.
If goggles are listed as passing the ANSI Z87.1 Impact Standard Test, the goggles will have completed and passed an impact test where a 1" diameter ball is dropped from 50" onto the front of the goggles. This is a commonly used test in ensuring maximum safety while on the slopes.
Goggle Structure:
There are a few attributes to consider when purchasing a pair of skiing or snowboarding goggles: the first, lens shapecylindrical or spherical.
Lens Shape
Polycarbonate Lenses
Scratch-Resistant Coating
Lens Tint
Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
Interchangeable Lenses
Anti-Fogging Technologies:
Fogging can be anything from an annoyance to a serious safety hazard that can obscure your vision. Manufacturers are continually creating new strategies to help prevent fogging. Here is a list of some common anti-fogging technologies available:
Double Lenses
Anti-Fog Coating
Proper Fit:
Goggles are generally available in two sizes, adult and children.
Focus on which type of straps and buckles can be adjusted to easily fit your face. Your goggles should be secure enough to create a good seal that will keep out moisture and cold. Other fit considerations include:
Prescription Glasses

Holiday cheer comes in many forms. And while there is something to be said about roasting chestnuts and chipper carolers, we admit we're partial to merriment of the liquid variety ... because nothing warms our hearts (and fingers and toes) quite like yummy, wintry flavors mixed with a bit of bourbon, rum, or port.
To turn up the heat, we enlisted the help of Blackbird Bar owner and drink mix-master Shawn Vergara to show us how to create three delicious (and hot!) DIY cocktails, perfect whether you're entertaining or sipping something by an open fire. With flavors ranging from chocolate to tea to apple spice, you're sure to find one super satisfying — no matter your seasonal craving. So, queue Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Mariah, pump up the holiday spirit, and let the drink-making festivities begin.

A Market Based Tax System
Several years ago I was introduced to the idea of a market based tax system that allows taxpayers to choose where their money will be spent. I began my career as a tax accountant and am actively pursuing the CPA, should be complete soon. I hold a bachelors and masters in Accounting.
Given my background in tax, I cannot imagine working in this system without trying to improve it. That is why I want to get a group together to discuss, trade, write, and begin a process that completely overhauls the US tax system.
I firmly believe the fundamental issue with our tax system is not the percentage that we pay, or the method we us. Instead, the fundamental issue is taxation without representation. Give me a flat tax, marginal, progressive tax system, it does not matter. When the tax payer gets to the line on a 1040 that says "tax" I would want them to fill out one additional page. Yes I know... more forms.
The additional page will allow the taxpayer to select funds (like a stock), or a pool of funds (like a mutual fund) for where their tax dollars will be spent. ALL government agencies and Federally Assisted groups will need to register with an oversight board that will place the entity in an " index." The entities will submit a budget, and hope the taxpayers help fund the budget. Those entities that receive tax dollars, will do so because taxpayers believe in the entities public service. Those that do not receive funding will scale down, or diminish all together. Once an entity meets its budgeted amount, the remaining money selected by a taxpayer will go towards the taxpayers second, third, fourth choice.
This is the only type of system that can bring transparency to the tax code, and give people fair representation in tax matters. Nay Sayers say this overhaul cannot be done... I say they have no vision or background in tax. If we can create an efficient stock market, we can do the same with the tax code. It is important to have an efficient tax market.
pat gilbert
Jul 17 2012: I would settle for a consumption tax instead of an income tax.
- +2
Jul 19 2012: I'm ignorant of how a consumption tax would work. Wouldn't we run the risk of discouraging spending and lowering product demand? Would it slow down the economy? I guess we would be more encouraged to save.
Jul 19 2012: Basically the idea is to encourage people to produce, which means no tax on production, rather on consumption. This is a workable idea.
I will add that anytime that you have an individual who discourages production you need to look at him with a jaundice eye as he is evil. That individual is Woodrow Wilson who Glenn Beck calls the worst president in the history of the U.S. He gave us income tax, the federal reserve, and took away the states rights to appoint a senator which was a save guard against the tyranny of democracy, and who the communist countries said they learned everything they know about propaganda. Nice eh?
Jul 19 2012: Thanks Pat. Would you levy a sales tax to implement this, or some other method? I agree about Woodrow Wilson. I've read that he regretted his decision on the federal reserve, but I still resent him for his perfidy to the constitution.Jul 19 2012: savings would be greatly encouraged, which in fact speeds up the economy through increased accumulation of capital.Jul 20 2012: Eric
Yes a sales tax. The problem is that the whores in DC would add the tax call it a VAT and not get rid of any other tax. So it ain't gunna happen unless we can get enough people to small the coffee but that is a real ditch digger unless we can get someone like Paul Ryan to bring in a backhoe.
Aug 6 2012: Less than 5 minutes ago: Pat, as I mentioned it does not matter what tax system we use to discover our "tax liability" Marginal, flat, consumption etc. A consumption tax has its own set of issues. What is consumption? If your wife buys a $20 purse that is perfectly fine is that consumption or an investment? That purse will last 5 years, it will hold her money, it is a necessity. I can argue this is an investment. Now imagine your wife buys a $1,000 Louis Vuitton purse. Both purses serve the exact same purpose. I would argue $980 (1,000 minus 20) is consumption, and 20, is an investment. Consumption tax like most tax systems are going to require many stones to turn over.
A consumption tax has been played with in theory, but I do not think we are prepared for a consumption based tax system. However, the fundamental issue still remains of taxation without representation. I cannot stress to everyone enough that it does not matter what method we use to discover our "tax liability" it matters where that liability is being spent!
Comment deleted
Aug 6 2012: What? pretend that I'm an idiot and splain me slower.
I cant find a location that will post below your last comment.
I watched 2 of your videos. The point you make about how the budget is being spent is good yes it need to be less.
Aug 6 2012: Please watch these videos in the following order taken from Khan Academy. My intent is not to shut down consumption tax, or to disprove consumption theories. Merely to point out that consumption tax has many questions to answer. The longer we debate on the type of system we use to discover our tax liability, the less time we spend on the real issue of how that tax liability is being spent.
http://www.khanacademy.org/finance-economics/core-finance/v/investment-vs--consumption-1Jul 17 2012: the only problem with this system is that the government absolutely does not want anything like that. what's good about power if you don't get to decide what money is spent on? you will not find a single politician supporting such an idea. ever. it is like offering the chance to a bank robber to rob a bank, but don't keep the swag. what's the point then?
Jul 22 2012: Just so you know, this is a voluntary society, as I meant it. I only started using the term after hearing Adam Kokesh talk about it with Ron Paul on Adam vs the man.Aug 6 2012: Kristzia, I understand that many politicians won't like this. But to say you cannot find a single politician to support it is false. We can get support of a market based tax system if the people of the United States are informed of the system and vote for those politicians who accept it. Don't ever forget about the power that does lie with the people of the United States. That power is the ability to vote their constituents into congress.
As far as the comment "it is like offering the chance to a bank robber to rob a bank, but don't keep the swag. what's the point then?"
I actually see no similarity between implementing a market based tax system and offering a chance to a bank robber to rob a bank, but not "keep the swag." Unless of course you are referring to the American tax payers as bank robbers? Kirstzian, you are on the "nay - sayers" I mentioned in my original post lol. We have to see outside of the box.Jul 22 2012: This is exactly the type of system I was talking about when I wrote my recent debate "When libertarians and hippies realize they are the exact same group of people with the exact same goals the world will change for the better".
This is exactly what almost every human being on earth wants, especially libertarians and hippies.
Aug 6 2012: I am not sure exactly how accurate you are that "every human being on Earth wants, espcially libertarians and hippies," but I am a libertarian and this is what I want lol.
I hope you are right though, because if everyone wants it, then we can get it by electing future politicians that are willing to take on a long term strategy to fix the current tax system and financial flaws.Jul 20 2012: Fair TaxJul 18 2012: Joseph, I agree that there needs to be more transparency in government spending. However, being a middle class family in California, I pay over 60% of my income in taxes. Plus, there's federal income tax, sales tax, FICA, Social Security, property tax, cell phone taxes, restaurant taxes even when ordering take out (I believe this is a violation of tax code but you'll see it at every fast food restaurant you place a To Go order), state income tax, etc... oh yeah! And this new health care tax!
If we start with a flat tax, then we can entertain other transparency issues. You may have a good point, but a flat tax evens out the playing field for all people. The "rich" will no longer be able to hide their money through tax codes that law makers arbitrarily create to push their own agenda. The "poor" would also be able to pay taxes. A percentage of your income is fair to all citizens. I say shrink government and encourage individuality, personal freedoms, civil liberties. Less government = more personal freedoms, less taxes.
Aug 6 2012: Trish, I understand the level of taxation you are hit with in California. I spent 2011 and part of 2012 working with a Financial Services and Wealth Management firm in San Diego. Not only did I feel the tax burden on the personal side, I witnessed it through my experience in tax planning for roughly 100 clients. The taxes you mention are uncertainly hefty, however they are not a violation of the tax code.
Like I said, you can give me a consumption tax, flat tax, marginal tax etc., but without transparency in govt funding and expenditures, a problem will continue to exist. I do not think we can say for certain a flat tax is the method we should use. I have recently relocated to Hong Kong where I am now on a flat 15% tax rate, with no capital gains. Even the HK flat tax incorporates certain exemptions. For example you can receive a HKD $120,000 (USD $15,000) exemption. Effectively you "enter" the 15% flat tax system once your income is greater than HKD 120,000. (These numbers are all round to nearest 1,000).
I do not think overhauling the tax code to match Hong Kong, for example will be effective. I believe that certain tax exemptions, deductions, credits, and tax free or tax deferred investments should exist. Trish, as a resident of California, you will also relate to the fact that around 48% of all residents pay no state or federal income tax. They may pay sales tax, but lets face it, that is pennies on the dollar to the income tax burden.
The current tax code does not allow the rich to hide their money, in fact the tax code takes great measures to stop tax evasion altogether. Rich people may create financial plans that place the individual in lower income tax brackets, but I assure you that their money and assets have a tax time bomb which come in the form of Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) and DEATH! Those over 70 years old can relate. I will take the current tax code to determine my tax liability, so long as I have a choice where my tax is spent.Jul 17 2012: Joseph, In order for your system to have a chance I would recommend that step one would be to reduce government to a managable level. Once we are back to a Constitutional government level we can set administrative and operational costs then optional items can be funded in the manner that you propose.
Kids would never fund Social Security or Heralth Care as that is not the priority of the young so I would see the military being a problem in funding as the liberals would oppose that expenduture. Thus the problem.
So what if we went back to a Constitutional government and reduced the NEED for taxes returning the power to the states. This would take care of career politicians and all of the pork and perks. So far I have talked myself into this idea. Congress would have domain over the four areas the Constitution allow for. Yea!!!!!
All the best. Bob.
Jul 19 2012: Maybe it would be a good thing if we could basically have a referendum on government spending by choosing based on our values. Roughly half of the people are conservative, so I think the military would still get enough funding. One drawback that I would see is that it may cause unpredictability in funding from year to year, causing a set of fluctuating programs that can't plan ahead.
Aug 6 2012: Eric, I think you are correct about military spending. I believe a market based tax system will force many American's to evaluate their priorities in determining where their tax dollars were spent. We want our children to learn, we want our women and men the opportunity to find work, and we want to provide security for old age. I can imagine a market based tax system will reward programs that successfully offer us these luxuries.Aug 6 2012: Robert, the thought that popped into my head when reading your first paragraph was the "chicken or the egg" argument. I completely agree that government needs to be reduced to a manageable level, undoubtedly! I am just not sure that the govt. will be reduced to a manageable level, without an overhaul of the tax system that brings more transparency to federal programs that receive tax dollars first.
As far as kids funding programs like social security, I would not hold back on our youth too much. I am in my early twenties, and there is no way I am holding my mom and dad out to dry ha! Besides, if administered properly, even social security sounds good to younger people such as myself.
In reality though, we would not implement this system overnight. It would be a many years process. For example in year one we would mandate 25% of all federal expenditures to go towards agencies listed on the index. Leaving congress with 75% to continue their current spending habits (funding social security/medicair). Throughout the next 7 to 10 years, my idea would be to have the system fully implemented and at maximum require 90% of all federal expenditures to be provided to agencies listed on the index, leaving congress with 10% for misc. govt. actions. As a taxpayer I have trouble even leaving the 10%, but I realize we will need to make some compromise to get any legislative action in an overhaul like this!
Robert, before I can fully agree with your third paragraph I would have rephrase where you said "Taxes returning the power to the states." I will rephrase your words to include "taxes returning the power to the PEOPLE."
Best Regards, Joseph

Happy Thanksgiving from the Wildlife Conservation Society...and our many furry, scaly, splashy, snowy, wild representatives across the globe.
We're feeling especially grateful today. We've accomplished so much together on behalf of wildlife this year – and we have you, our loyal supporters, to thank. We'd like to offer a personal note of gratitude to each and every one of you. But of course, no single message fits all.
...After all, some of you tend to be quite modest.
And some of you love the limelight.
Whatever your type, you are a true gift to wildlife.
And believe us, we know we ask a lot of you.
But somehow you always come through.
We accomplished an incredible amount together this year, saving wild animals and wild places all over the earth. Together, we're unstoppable.
So today, we just want to say: thank you.
Happy Holidays to you and yours. Enjoy your feast! (But please, don't hoard.)

Method Homes Unveils Net-Zero Prefab Paradigm Series at Greenbuild in San Francisco
Designed for Method Homes by New York-based Bogue Trondowski Architects, the Paradigm series is planned in its entirety to be as low-impact as possible. Clad in FSC-certified western red cedar (but available in other cladding), the wood is sourced from sustainable forests located within 200 miles of Method Home's plant. The decking—which expands the Paradigm home's square footage to 722—is created from a composite of recycled materials and bamboo, while the flooring inside the home is all renewable bamboo. Non-VOC paints and finishes, and formaldehyde-free FSC bamboo cabinets maintain a sustainable, non-toxic atmosphere. A perforated corten steel brow provides shade from the southern summer sun, but does not obscure lower winter sunlight.
A 4KW photovoltaic system on the building's roof provides the home with all the energy it needs, and more. Method Homes explained that in theory the house can "run on the energy of a hair dryer," and as such, they have employed a number of tactics in order to attain a net-zero energy rating. The building is highly insulated with R-48 ceiling insulation, R-33+ tapered foam roof insulation, and R-31 exterior wall insulation. A mini split HVAC system and energy recovery ventilator help further drive down energy consumption, while automated shading and a lutron radiora system help to provide greater control over energy usage.

Friday's network television special may have marked Garth Brooks' last solo shows at the Wynn Las Vegas, but he's not done there.
Brooks will bring his full band to the Wynn for two nights in January. Garth Brooks: The Man, His Band and His Music will run Jan. 3-4, with shows at 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Tickets, priced at $200, will go on sale Friday.
"I've been itching for the chance to bring my band to Vegas to play this room," Brooks said in a statement. While Brooks' solo Wynn shows focused on his roots, eventually leading to the release of an eight-disc boxed set, Blame It All on My Roots, last week, the full-band shows will highlight the singer's hits.
Brooks won't go so far as saying these two shows might be the precursor to a full-blown tour down the road. "Will there be something else down the road? Who knows!" he says. "I'm just going to enjoy getting to turn it up in Las Vegas and play with the band again."

Did not take photos of the repair.
So I will attempt to describe the repair
I cut the entire floor out of the welder. Using a Matabocutting grinder (a true favorite tool).
Checked the windings. And they were intact and not grounded.
So I made angle iron Frames. That used threaded rod. Andnuts to sandwich the laminated core of the windings.
Welded in a new floor. And welded the angle frames back inthe welder.
Also replaced a capacitor, a fuse. And cleaned most of theelectric connections.
Loads of work. But I now have a nice working unit. For afraction of used.
I enjoy repairing and restoring nice quality vintageequipment. But trust me this was a gamble most would no attempt.
Youshould see my John Deere 318.
That is repowered with a Kohler 25HP V-twin (without a kit).
Drive shaft, Mufler, PTO clutch & adaptor, Runs and looks like new.

In the mid-1950's, before the Marion County Park and Recreation Commission was formed, Judge Rex Hartly and members of the County Court signed an order setting aside as recreational areas tax reverted properties along the North Santiam River. Minto Canyon Park is one of these areas. The park was named in honor of John Minto, who, in 1873, explored the Santiam Canyon in search of a natural pass into Eastern Oregon. The Minto Trail, which starts in Eastern Oregon and ends at Gates, is named after him. Minto Creek, which runs through the park, is also named for him. A Land and Water Development grant in the late 1960's reimbursed Marion County for one-half the cost of developing 14 picnic sites and the extensive trail system through the park and along the Santiam River. Work relief crews were also used to assist in development of the park.

FIJM: A packed house to close the festivities
July 7, 2008. Posted by David Tallacksen.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM
Mory Kante, the Guinean griot and master of the kora just wrapped up his set. It was the closer of the Festival, and appropriate - mixing influences and sounds from all over the world, sounds which you could hear in the preceding 11 days of FIJM. It was as good an audience as I've seen, packing the streets around Place des Arts. There's no good way to capture in one picture the feel of the night or the massiveness of the crowd, but here's one attempt, from high above the Hyatt - the stage on the bottom left of the frame, the lights of the Plaza upper-left, and the crowd filling every available nook and cranny:

Billy Bang is here in Montreal. He's part of the 25th Anniversary concert for Justin Time Records. Bang has released two recordings related to his experience in Vietnam - both the pain and the healing. Bang spoke with Michael Bourne about reconciliation, from the perspective of an artist and a former warrior. There are some memorable moments in this conversation, including this great line: "We live the music that we perform, and we perform the music we live. There's no separation."

The modern, clean lines of Diane's Sofa are complemented by its sculptural profile and tall tapered legs. Like many of the pieces in the collection, Beth Kushnick notes, "Diane's Sofa translates to both the home and the office."
Diane's Sofa by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, $2,095.
Mitchell Gold, cofounder and chairman of the 23-year-old home-furnishings giant, says of the collection, "The line is definitely a crossover between office and residential, traditional and contemporary, as is the show." Shown here is another view of senior partner Diana Lockhart's office, featuring a stainless-steel desk and a contemporary take on barrel chairs, inspired by a Scandinavian design from the late 1960s. (Although the Chicago skyline looms in the background, the show is filmed primarily on a soundstage in Brooklyn.)
Diane's Conversation Chair and Desk by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, $1,325 and $1,430 respectively.
The barrel-topped, X-base Zemico Side Table can fit into contemporary or transitional interiors. It can also be grouped together in multiples to create a rustic cluster.
Zemico Side Table by Interlude Home, available through Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams or Horchow, $299.
The show's lead character, Alicia Florrick, portrayed by Emmy Award–winning actress Julianna Margulies, is a single mother of two with a full-time job as a lawyer. Beth Kushnick was mindful that the character's world at home is devoted to her children and their comfort, so she kept the style casual with classic neutral colors. "Alicia's Sofa is an elegant and upscale sofa for people with children," says Kushnick. It features a slender, tufted bench seat, a graceful profile, and a trio of back cushions. The Mahima Twig Boxes, shown on the sofa table, are a personal favorite of Margulies.
Alicia's Sofa by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, $2,475, and Mahima Twig boxes by Interlude Home, $345.
Beth Kushnick, whose credits also include Fringe and Three Pounds, chose a classic French Deco leather chair for the office of partner Will Gardner, played by Josh Charles. "This has been his chair since season one, and out of all the pieces I have selected, I receive the most questions about Will's Chair," says Kushnick. The chair has a stylishly curved silhouette with tailored welting detail, and tapered wood feet. It sits at just the right pitch for a relaxed but commanding perch.
Will's Leather Chair by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, $1,995.
