Make your own beautiful mossy landscape terrariums. The fun is truly in the making.
Spend some time outside. Ethically harvest some moss and other small plants. Stones, shells and even small pieces of bark can look very nice in your landscape. To start, mound some potting soil or garden soil on a dish or tray of your choosing. Arrange moss to the desired effect. Add embellishments like a stone or an acorn. Cover with a glass cloche.
This one has a stone path.
I love this tree-clubmoss (Dendrolycopodium obscurum) that grows on my property!
This one has an empty snail shell that I found in my garden.
I made these cloches from glass juice jugs that I cut the bottoms off. I will give instructions on that another time.
Remember to lift the glass and mist your mini landscape from time to time. Place in indirect sunlight.
I also like to use a little plant with red berries called partridge berry (Mitchella repens) and it can be found locally and grows nicely in terrariums like these. Here is what the plant looks like.

Norwegian Gold® Super Critical Omega is an advanced fish oil formula with 1,125 mg Omega-3 per softgel. Super-concentrated with 95% total Omegas and 800 mg EPA Omega-3, this maximum-strength fish oil supplement provides potent heart and joint support and may reduce the risk of heart disease.*‡ It also has 1,000 IU of Vitamin D3 and provides enhanced digestion and absorption with lipase and enteric coating—all in a single fish gelatin softgel.* Norwegian Gold Super Critical is a burp-free formula with no fishy aftertaste, and is guaranteed for quality, purity, and potency through expiration.
Why Choose Norwegian Gold Advanced Fish Oils?
Renew Life formulated Norwegian Gold Advanced Fish Oils with you in mind. Our formulas are ultra-concentrated with Omega-3 EPA and DHA so you only have to take one softgel per day. With other brands, you might have to take up to 3 or more softgels to get the same amount of Omega-3 as Norwegian Gold. And because digestion is so important to us, our softgels are enteric coated to help them bypass the stomach for no fishy aftertaste and better absorption of the Omega-3s.* Plus the natural enzyme lipase is added to further aid in absorption.* Lipase is essential for oil digestion, yet other fish oils lack this powerful fat-splitting enzyme.*
‡Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA & DHA Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease

California public schools would be required to allow transgender students to use school facilities and participate in activities and on sports teams that match their gender identity under a bill introduced at the Capitol.
State law already prohibits schools from discriminating on the basis of gender identity, but backers of the measure, AB1266, say some schools and school districts don't provide access to restrooms, locker rooms or sports teams that align with the identity of transgender students.
The bill would make it clear that the law requires that, they said.
"Transgender boys are boys, and transgender girls are girls, and this bill ensures they are treated as such," said Masen Davis, executive director of the Transgender Law Center, which is backing the bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco.
Barring a transgender student from using a locker room that aligns with his or her gender identity can create barriers to achieving needed credits for graduating, backers said, and stopping a student from participating on a sports team diminishes involvement in school.
They said some students feel unsafe at school when they are required to use a restroom that doesn't match their gender identity. The proposed law includes the phrase that the access to programs, facilities and activities shall be granted "irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records."

Mission Statement Introduction and Background
At Columbia University, the desire to enhance the teaching environment and support the teaching mission of the faculty led us to develop the Glenda Garvey Teaching Academy.
Dr. Garvey, who was Professor of Medicine at P&S, embodied the traits of the ideal educator First, she was a recognized expert in a body of knowledge. Second, she was an effective communicator who transmitted concepts, facts and her own enthusiasm for learning. Third, she was dedicated to her students, both during the time when they were under her tutelage and in subsequent stages of their careers. And finally, she, had the highest professional standards which she demonstrated in her own behavior and expected from her students.
The Glenda Garvey Teaching Academy is composed of four teaching academies, each representing one school on the CUMC campus.

He contends the purpose of King's sustained agitation is to provoke violence. He feels the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should become the mechanism for opposing discrimination, not further boycotts and sit-ins.

Make-A-Wish grants girl's wish
BLACKFOOT — Mckenzie Barbre is getting an extra-special gift for her seventh birthday—she is going to Disney World with her family courtesy of the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Mckenzie was diagnosed one year ago with rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that develops in soft tissue. Mckenzie developed a tumor on the muscle of her eye.
She underwent six months of chemotherapy and one month of radiation at Primary Children's Medical Center and the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City. It was then, when she was staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City, that she heard about Make-a-Wish and Disney World.
"I haven't been there before and there's lots of rides," Mckenzie said.
Mckenzie—who turns seven Friday—and her family will be going to Disney World this week. She will be joined by her mother Brandie Reynolds, brothers Jordan, 11, Riley, 8, baby sister Alyssa and family friend Steve Fowler.
Brandie was pregnant with Alyssa when Mckenzie was diagnosed, and said Mckenzie was strong during her treatment and was supportive of her during her pregnancy. She said she had two wishes—to go to Disney World and to have a little sister.
"She never ever, ever complains," Brandie said.
Mckenzie's last test came back clear and the cancer has not returned. She must return for additional tests every three months.
Mckenzie attends Stalker Elementary and will be in the second grade next year. She said she enjoys hanging out with friends—her best friend is cousin Ashley Penoyer—and riding her bike. In addition to Disney World, Mckenzie said she also wants to have a water fight for her birthday.

Japan's current account surplus unexpectedly expanded in September to the widest since April as a weaker yen boosted the value of overseas investment income.
The surplus rose 14.3 percent from a year earlier to 587 billion yen ($5.9 billion), against a median estimate for a 401 billion yen excess in a survey of 24 economists. The income surplus gained 24.6 percent to a record for September, lifted by higher interest receipts and dividends from foreign investments.
The bigger surplus in Japan's widest measure of trade offers support to a recovery that Prime Minster Shinzo Abe jump- started with fiscal and monetary stimulus. With a national sales tax set to rise in April, Abe needs to sustain momentum in the world's third-biggest economy.
"The current account will probably remain in surplus as a robust income surplus will make up for the trade deficits," said Masamichi Adachi, a senior economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Tokyo and a former central bank official. "Along with fuel, robust domestic demand is also pushing up imports, so we are unlikely to see a trade surplus in the near future."
The trade balance marked its longest string of deficits since 1964 in September, weighed down by increased imports of fossil fuels after nuclear plants were shuttered in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.
The yen was little changed at 99.08 per dollar at 10:03 a.m. in Tokyo, down almost 20 percent over the past year. The benchmark Topix index was up 0.8 percent after closing down last week.

How to avoid buying a flood-damaged car
The flood waters from Hurricane Harvey have damaged tens of thousands of cars in Texas. But we have floods in Alabama, too.
The flood waters from Hurricane Harvey have damaged tens of thousands of cars in Texas. But we have floods in Alabama, too.
Experts say flood-damaged cars that are sold, instead of scrapped, can have electrical, mechanical and even safety issues that can put your life on the line.
Alabama has one of the highest rates in the nation for having flood-damaged cars back on the road or up for sale. That's according to Carfax—the company that provides vehicle history reports on used cars.
In fact, Carfax spokesman Chris Basso called flood-damaged cars "ticking time bombs."
According to Carfax, there are about 5,300 flood-damaged cars in the state that are on the road or for sale.
Flood-damaged car dangers
Here's the danger from flood-damaged cars:
- Brakes, air bags and seat belts could fail
- There could be engine or exhaust system failure
- Bacteria in the ventilation system
How to avoid buying a flood-damaged car
Here's how to avoid buying a flood-damaged car:
- Shop at a well-established dealership that receive top ratings from the Better Business Bureau. You're safer.
- Avoid cars with a moldy smell and those that smell like air freshener.
- Avoid cars where there's any sign of rust, corrosion or dampness on the interior.
Carfax offers a free flood check. Go to Carfax.com/flood. Enter the vehicle identification number, and your email address, on their website to see if the car you're considering was flood-damaged.
Finally, get the car checked by your own mechanic before you buy it.

When you charter a private jet you are hiring the entire aircraft. The charter price for the aircraft does not change if you fly alone or with every seat occupied. The only slight variation in cost will be when airport passenger tax is applied on the flight. Each country has different regulations for passenger tax and this will be fully explained during the quoting process.
Most larger airports have either separate private jet terminals or buildings called FBOs (Fixed Based Operators) where private jet passengers check in for their flight. At many airports, private jet passengers can be driven straight through security to their aircraft. The time from arriving at the private jet terminal to boarding your aircraft is normally less than 5 minutes. If however there is a delay to your flight or perhaps you have chosen to arrive early, the FBOs will normally have private executive lounges for you to relax or work in.
PrivateFly recommends that our passengers arrive at the airport 30 minutes before the expected departure (airborne) time. At some airports such as London City Airport, this can be reduced to 15 minutes.
The flying speed of a private jet varies dramatically depending on the type of aircraft. For example the fastest civilian aircraft in the world is the Citation X (ten), however many smaller jets including the range of aircraft called VLJs (Very Light Jets) are relatively slow compared to airlines. The time saving of flying privately is made on the ground. With minimal check in times and no delays waiting for luggage and clearing customs, flying by private jet is much faster than using a scheduled airline. Also on longer flights Air Traffic Control (ATC) will be able to offer private jet many more short cuts than a scheduled airline. This is because most private jets have a higher rate of climb and can fly higher than a normal air scheduled airline.
Depending on your flight destination and nationality you may not require your passport when travelling by private jet. However PrivateFly always recommends that our clients travel with a passport, even for domestic flights within their own country.
Private jet charter involves paying to use someone else's aircraft when they are not using it. This is normally a one off adhoc charter agreement with no long term financial commitment. Fractional ownership involves sharing the full cost of purchasing and operating an aircraft. As such chartering a private jet can is often described as subsidised flying as the fixed costs (such as aircraft purchasing and depreciation, pilot salaries, aircraft maintenance and insurances) are paid for by the owner. When you charter someone else's aircraft you are only paying for the fuel, airport fees and a small amount of extra cost to allow the aircraft owner to offset some of his annual tax bill.
PrivateFly has a safety policy that maximises the safety and security of our registered members. The aircraft operators who quote for your flight through the PrivateFly network are licensed to commercially charter their aircraft and are governed by their national civil aviation authority. PrivateFly is able on request to send detailed reports concerning the companies and crews that operate your selected aircraft.
The type of aircraft that is most suited for your itinerary will depend on many factors including; flight distance, number of passengers, runway lengths, global region and of course your budget. Please do contact a PrivateFly representative to ask more about the type of aircraft required for your private flight.
The cost of flying by private jet depends on many factors including; flight time, aircraft hourly rate, positioning sectors (where the aircraft is flown empty before or after the passenger sector) and airport fees. To find out how much it costs to fly by private jet, use the private jet cost calculator, which gives all-inclusive price estimates for any global trip. All prices that you receive from our network are fully inclusive, there are no hidden costs.
Using the closest airport to your house or work can save hours on the length of a journey. Private jet passengers are not limited to the same airports that scheduled airlines use and therefore can often use airports much closer to their final destination.
To find your closest airport use a private jet airport finder.
To find your closest airport to your final destination use PrivateFly's easy to use airport finder.
Flying with pets is possible when using a private jet as long as the animal has the required documents and when required dedicated pet airports are used. Please do contact a PrivateFly representative to ask more about travelling with your family pets on a private jet.
PrivateFly always recommends that you have 2 pilots on every flight - indeed this is often a legal requirement depending on the type of aircraft. There are some examples of when only having one pilot is acceptable, such as daylight helicopter flights.
Private aviation is all about flexibility, so if you need to change your departure time it is generally not an issue. However, please do give PrivateFly as much notice as possible so that we can arrange new Air Traffic Control and airport slots to match your schedule.
For most private jet journeys it is normally easy to add extra passengers onto the flight at the last minute. However to save any embarrassment with or delays for your guests, it is advisable to check with PrivateFly first. Some destinations (such as Russia) require pre-clearance of customers. Also for shorter runways, there may be a limitation on the maximum number of passengers due to the aircraft landing and take off weight limits.
VIP catering suitable for the time of day will be provided on-board. For small cabin aircraft this will normally be pre-prepared buffet style options. All flights will also include a fully licensed bar and soft drinks. For larger cabin aircraft which have galley facilities, catering can be prepared on-board and hot meals served. Special catering requests will always be accommodated when possible.
Special catering requests can nearly always be sourced as most private jet hubs have arrangements with catering companies or nearby restaurants and hotels.
PrivateFly is able to filter your aircraft options by the aircraft's year of manufacture. This is a very common request by many of our private jet customers.
The speed of response of our registered aircraft operators depends on the complexity of your flight request. For simple flights in Europe and the USA you can expect quotes to be submitted within minutes. Requests for larger airline aircraft and for flights in particular regions of the world, the response time may be longer.
Actual aircraft images will be sent with every quote. PrivateFly also is building a library of 360 degree virtual panorama images of our registered aircraft.
PrivateFly has an extensive network of helicopters. Helicopter landing sites outside of airports require the landowners permission. Please contact your PrivateFly representative to discuss your helicopter charter requirements. Private helicopter charters are organised as an offline service only.
The amount of luggage that can be taken on a private jet depends on the size of the aircraft and the number of passengers travelling. For a small jet the normal baggage limit is one per passenger seat plus cabin luggage. Larger jets such as a Gulfstream have large baggage holds which can have up to 20 large suitcases.
PrivateFly has over 2000 aircraft operators globally with over 7000 aircraft in total. The number of aircraft operators quoting for your flight will vary depending on the region and the type of aircraft you are requesting.
PrivateFly is a completely transparent booking network and we can give you full information on any of the aircraft operators who are quoting for your flight.
At your departure and arrival airport you will be escorted to/ from the aircraft by both the aircraft captain and a representative from the handling agent (or FBO). If you require ground transportation to or from the airport please ask your PrivateFly representative who will be happy to arrange this for you.
Most airports have dedicated private jet check-in facilities. These are normally provided by specialist handling agents (often called FBOs). PrivateFly will send you detailed directions to the airport facilities and your aircraft captain will be waiting for you at the entrance.
Customs and immigration procedures must be complied with for all private jet flights. Private jet customers are often not aware of any checks as in most cases these can be completed prior to the flight. At larger airports the private jet terminal will have dedicated customs and immigration staff. At smaller airports it is rare to see Customs and Immigration officials although they will be aware of your flight and can occasionally make special visits to the airport to meet a flight.
Private jets can be organised very quickly, depending on the location of available aircraft. This can be as quick as 30 minutes from your flight request or may take longer, subject to availability and your location. You just need to submit your request to PrivateFly and all operators will be invited to quote instantly.

The importance of saving summer
During the fall, when the leaves start to turn and the distinct nip of winter permeates the air, I cannot help but reminisce about summers past. I dedicated my youth to celebrating that wonderful time of year.
My heart goes out to children when they don knapsacks filled with books and bravely wave good-bye to their families before boarding buses, as if they were little soldiers going to war.
I know that they have resigned themselves to accept the inevitable — nine months of daily incarceration.
When I was growing up, summer belonged to children. Nobody dared violate the sanctity of summer.
Until the day that an unscrupulous teacher decided children were having too much fun and they should be strapped with summer reading.
At first, we could read whatever we wanted, barring comic books and magazines. We had to read actual books.
Every spring, teachers across the country announced that students would be writing book reports on summer reading assignments when they returned in the fall.
The morning following the last day of school, I refilled my knapsack with a swimsuit, fishing tackle and a few staples that included a jar of peanut butter and a box of Malt Balls.
We had long forgotten the summer reading assignment by the time I hit the road with my friend, Brian, at six o'clock in the morning.
We spent the summer fishing, communing with nature and living off the land. We laughed constantly, drank pure water from icy, spring-fed streams and took showers in sun-warmed rain. We made Huckleberry Finn look like a city slicker. Life was fabulous.
We didn't think about the summer reading assignment until we were back in school the following fall. The teacher didn't broach the subject of summer reading until two weeks before the quarterly report cards came out.
At the beginning of class, she said that we would spend the period writing a report on the book we read that summer. The report would count for one third of our grade.
I hadn't read anything other than Mad Magazine, but I didn't panic.
I'm not sure if I had a premonition of how I was to spend the rest of my life, or if nothing more than my survival instincts kicked in and saved me, but I wrote a report on a fictitious book.
I fictionalized a real-life experience by making the story much more dramatic than it really was.
When I was nine years old, a classmate saw two school bullies stealing lunches from the lunchroom refrigerator. The bullies didn't see him watching until after they had stolen the lunches. They told my classmate that they would beat him within an inch of his life if he told anyone. Then they followed him to class.
The kid was smart. He wrote a note on his homework that told the teacher to check the bullies' knapsacks. When he handed in the assignment, she read the note and indeed did check their knapsacks. The bullies were caught with the stolen lunches and they never figured out how the teacher knew.
That story turned into a report on a fictional book called "Ozzie." It was a story about Oswald Mc- Creedy, a kid who lived in a small town in the Midwest.
He saw two local ruffians rob a hardware store early in the morning, when he was going fishing. The robbers saw him and recognized him. They called him by name and threatened him. A chase ensued, but they couldn't catch him.
I wove a convoluted tale of how Ozzie got word to the sheriff and solved the crime. My teacher read the report and said that she had never heard of the book. She asked who wrote it, and I invented a name for the fictitious author. She looked suspicious, never having heard of him either.
She asked to see the book, but I told her that I found it on my great aunt's bookshelf. She lived on a farm more than 100 miles away. The latter was the only part that was true.
The teacher gave me a good grade, but the following spring, the assignment was different. We had to choose a book from an approved list of titles — most of which were literary classics.
Nonetheless, I saved one summer from being violated by schoolwork, and I got away with it. Taking summer away from kids is part of this system that I will never understand.

Annular Eclipse
On May 20, 2012, U.S. national parks saw their first solar eclipse in the United States in 18 years. The eclipse began over the Pacific Ocean and, from south of the Aleutian Islands, traveled to the California coast at Redwoods National Park. Then, from there, traveling at 1,000 mph, the shadow of the eclipse raced south and east over 30 national parks in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, and even into west Texas before sunset. More than 125 national parks had views of a partial eclipse.

One of the things that was surprising to many people was the simplicity of the camera in T-Mobile's G1. The Android platform always seemed ideal for a really feature-rich camera, which isn't what the G1 shipped with. Even the camera in the Cupcake OS release is a little weak.
Camera Pro is an app that replaces the built-in camera app that adds an incredible number of really useful features. The first is zoom. Camera Pro offers a sliding zoom level. The app uses digital zoom. With digital zoom, the camera doesn't physically zoom. It crops the image to include only the image area included on the LCD. When zooming in, the camera actually crops a lower resolution image from the overall image that is seen by the camera. This process is seamless to the user, so appears to be a zoom function. In spite of its potential resolution problems, this zoom feature is outstanding, fast, and a very welcome addition to the G1.
The second higher end function is white balance. White balance adjusts for the varying color temperatures of different types of light. Incorrectly set white balance is the reason that many photographs taken under incandescent lights look yellow and others under fluorescent lights look blue. Although Auto is quite good, in some cases you may want to set manual white balance. Camera Pro supports white balance for Incandescent, Fluorescent, Daylight, Cloudy, Twilight and Shade.
Camera Pro also offers a number of compositional aids. Compositional aids are: Crosshairs, Circle, Golden Ratio, and a very cool function that uses the G1s accelerometer to correctly photograph straight horizons.
Although many of the filters are extreme, and as a result of limited usefulness, Camera Pro has a number of filters. The most useful ones are Mono and Sepia. In addition to these two filters, the following filters are supplied: Negative, Solarize, Pastel, Mosaic, Posterize, Whiteboard, Blackboard and Aqua.
Camera Pro can be set to replace the default camera app. It supports a number of other useful functions, like default image size and JPG quality. The default white balance and default filter can also be set from the app settings.
Camera Pro is a reasonable $1.99 in the Android Market and is a very good, very capable replacement for the default camera app.
A full list of features includes:
- Digital Zoom(up to 4x)
- Effect filters(b/w, sepia, aqua,…)
- Whitebalance
- Grid lines (using acceleroemeters, golden ration,…)
- Stability, autofocus
- Just tap screen for a snap shot
- Sending photo via email/MMS

SOURCE: Cytonics Corporation
October 23, 2012 11:53 ET
JUPITER, FL--(Marketwire - Oct 23, 2012) - Cytonics Corporation, a biotechnology company focused on proteomic-based diagnostics and treatments for musculoskeletal disease, announced that the United States Patent Office has granted a Notice of Allowance for a patent related to the company's FACT™ (Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex Test). The Notice of Allowance is for Cytonics' Patent Application Number 12/570,279 titled "Biomarkers and Methods for Detecting and Treating Spinal and Joint Pain."
Cytonics' FACT assay detects the presence of a Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex in a fluid specimen taken from patients with spine or joint related pain. The presence of this complex has been shown in clinical studies to be associated with inflammation due to cartilage and spinal disc damage or degeneration.
The recently allowed patent includes diagnostic kit claims for detecting the Fibronectin and Aggrecan Complex that may be used by a physician to pinpoint the source of musculoskeletal pain. This new patent further expands Cytonics' intellectual property portfolio protecting FACT, including diagnostic and therapeutic claims in U.S. patent number 7,709,215 and U.S. patent pending number 61/601,434.
"Identifying the source of back and joint pain is a major challenge for physicians," said Gaetano Scuderi, MD, Clinical Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University's School of Medicine and Cytonics' founder. "Musculoskeletal pain is often due to a biochemical inflammatory cascade, independent of anatomical abnormalities. MRI identification of variations in anatomy can lead to unnecessary and risky treatments, including steroid injections. Cytonics' FACT assay detects a unique biomarker in the inflammatory cascade that can pinpoint the source of pain, allowing physicians to determine the most appropriate treatment."
The full Cytonics portfolio of diagnostic technology including FACT has been licensed on an exclusive worldwide basis to a leading orthopedic implant company, which is in the process of commercializing the product for market introduction.
"We look forward to FACT's commercial launch and believe that it will improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs," commented Ray Johnson, President of Cytonics.
Research supporting the use of the Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex as a biomarker for the source of pain is detailed in a number of peer reviewed journal articles, including the "Identification of a Novel Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex in the Synovial Fluid of Knees with Painful Meniscal Injury" published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Feb 2011, and "Clinically Significant Improvement in Functional Outcome after Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection for Radiculopathy Is Predicted By Assay for Novel Fibronectin-Aggrecan Complex," published in SPINE, August 2011.
About Cytonics Corporation
Cytonics is a privately held biotechnology company focused on proteomic-based diagnostics and treatments for musculoskeletal disease. The company has developed the FACT diagnostic to identify the source of back and joint pain and assist physicians in determining the most appropriate treatment. Cytonics is also developing therapeutic products for effective treatment of musculoskeletal related pain. Cytonics has raised over $14 million to date, including the sale of a 20% ownership stake to DePuy Synthes, a division of Johnson & Johnson. The company has relationships with leading research institutions, including Stanford University and the Scripps Research Institute. Cytonics was founded in 2006 and is based in Jupiter, FL.

Negotiating Union Labor Contracts on Behalf of School Districts and Municipalities
By James R. Macy
Negotiating for school districts and other municipalities can be rewarding yet challenging. In the era of open government, with the stresses of tax consciousness and budget constraints, greater pressure is placed upon municipal collective bargaining teams to reach a collective bargaining settlement that is satisfactory to the bargaining unit, yet still responsible to the taxpayers as a whole. In addressing such collective bargaining, the municipal bargainer considers a number of factors toward reaching appropriate resolutions. Although negotiating styles will vary, consideration of certain fundamentals will help the negotiator reach a successful resolution.
Do Your Homework
Preparation for negotiations is a key to effectiveness. Think about the makeup of the municipality's bargaining team. Consideration should be given to who will be the chief spokesperson, which administrative personnel will be present, and to what degree elected officials will sit at the table as part of the team. Due to the growing complexity of negotiations, it is becoming more common to enlist the assistance of a professional negotiator knowledgeable about negotiations in the public sector to act as spokesperson. It is common to have some administrative staff as members of the team, because they know the day-to-day operations.
Although elected officials may also sit on the team, an elected official is rarely the spokesperson, to avoid various political ramifications. If elected officials are members of the negotiations team, the team should never consist of a quorum of the municipal body. If this is the case, full authority to reach consensus on every issue is always available––a concept in conflict with timing your decisions and bargaining in a give-and-take setting.
Preparation also includes consideration of past concerns under the collective bargaining agreement. The administration should be asked if there were any problems in applying the terms of the agreement. The administrative staff and supervisors responsible for implementing the past contract often will have direct knowledge of areas of concern. These key people will have suggestions as to where there may be a need for change within the collective bargaining agreement. There may be a need to clarify language or propose new language to solve the problem. In addition, the team should review past grievances to see whether language changes are indicated.
Many municipal collective bargaining agreements are driven by data about comparable wages and benefits found in collective bargaining agreements of similar or comparable bargaining units. Therefore, negotiations preparation must include the gathering of relevant data so that the municipality can determine its strengths and weaknesses in terms of benefits and wages compared with those of similar units. For example, if the negotiations team knows that the particular municipality pays an hourly rate of two dollars more than comparable bargaining units, the team can accurately address the wage increases sought by the union at the bargaining table. More and more, private sector data is becoming helpful in making these kinds of comparisons and determining the true economic conditions within a community.
The Bargaining Process
The municipal entity also needs to consider a variety of issues involving the bargaining process itself. For example, at the first negotiation session, ground rules should be established between the parties outlining how negotiations shall proceed. The following points should be decided:
• Who will be the chief spokesperson?
• How many members will be on a team?
• Will negotiations be open to the press and public?
• When and how long can caucuses occur?
• Where will the negotiations take place?
• Is there a limit to the number of proposals parties can present?
• Is there a limit to the timing as to when new proposals can be added?
• Once a matter is resolved, will the parties initial the documents to demonstrate finalization of that issue?
• Once a complete tentative agreement is reached, will both parties recommend the tentative agreement to their respective voting bodies?
These are some of the ground rules for negotiations, but this list is not all-inclusive.
Successful negotiations include the presentation of specific, written proposals that are submitted on behalf of the municipal organization. While some employers may not bring proposals to the table and prefer to respond to what is presented by the union, this minimizes the effectiveness and value of later employer proposals. Remember, negotiations truly is a give-and-take process. Therefore, the employer should bring concerns to the table. The proposals should be clear, and rationale should be given in support of each of the requested changes.
The successful negotiations team must have a sense of timing. Negotiators should not be too quick to assert their full authority because in doing so, they may eliminate the give-and-take process. As a political entity, the union cannot readily accept an immediate offer without having the sense that the municipal entity has more to give. Keep in mind that the negotiations process may be the only opportunity these employees have to meet formally with the administration and elected officials. Quick responses and short meetings can be perceived as indications of indifference and lack of concern. At the same time, the negotiations do not need to take numerous meetings. Do not schedule multiple dates without a clear purpose for each meeting.
The process of negotiations also requires that specific language items be drafted in writing and not left to concept. A fatal mistake in negotiations is to agree in principle and then have the deal fall through based on the failure to write out the exact, agreed-upon language. While the agreement may be reached late at night, the true professional negotiator does not leave the meeting until that agreement is put in writing, reviewed by both teams, and initialed by each chief spokesperson. In addition, always try to make your proposals in writing. Doing so adds to clarity and creates a history of what the employer intended.
Successful negotiators focus on specific goals and establish a negotiations schedule and strategy toward reaching those goals. A municipal entity must know going into the bargain what its economic authority is for reaching resolution. Proposals should be costed out to determine the impact on the budget. The employer should strive to develop a historical perspective that the municipality will not and cannot exceed its established goals. By doing so, protracted negotiations can be minimized.
Finally, a municipal team must be cohesive. Another common, fatal mistake made in municipal public sector bargaining occurs when the union is able to split the management team through political pressure. The municipal team may disagree on various issues among themselves, but it is a critical error to discuss these differences in public or expose them at the bargaining table. A cohesive team with single-minded goals and a single-minded message in negotiations will have more success at reaching a successful, timely solution.
Seeing Eye to Eye
Upon reaching a full tentative agreement for a successor contract, the full tentative agreement should be reduced to writing and approved by each team. The union should proceed first in gaining ratification. Only after the union ratifies the tentative agreement should the municipal employer take up the matter for ratification.
Following ratification by both parties, the successor collective bargaining agreement should be drafted and reviewed by both teams. Upon approval of the new agreement, signatures should be attained to complete the process.

BREWERTON, NY – Larry Wight out of Phoenix, NY used a power move on the top groove of the speedway to get by race leader Jimmy Phelps with 3-laps to go in the 35-lap Tracey Road Equipment Big Block Modified feature. Once out-front Wight drove away for his third straight win at the Brewerton Speedway Friday night.BREWERTON, NY –
Other winners on Xtreme Auto Recovery, Ingles Performance night were, Nick Krause and Will Shields (SUNY Canton DIRTcar Sportsman) Justin Williams (STARS Mod Lites) Ray Bechler (JB Logging Firewood 4-Cylinders). Will Shields won the Northern Welding Fabrication Sportsman dash for cash.
Tim Kerr would lead the opening couple laps of the 35-lap Modified feature until Tom Sears Jr. would grab the top spot after a quick caution and restart.
With 10-laps complete Sears still led, but he had company with Jimmy Phelps who was now putting pressure on him with Max McLaughlin right there in third waiting for any mistake by the top-two. Larry Wight and Gary Tomkins were slugging it out for fourth and fifth.
Sears opened a slim six car length advantage with 15-laps showing on the scoring tower. Phelps, Tomkins, Wight and McLaughlin were using every inch of the speedway battling for second through fifth.
On lap-20 Sears was still running the top of the speedway with Phelps digging hard on the bottom looking for a way by Sears. Tomkins and Wight were running side-by-side just a few car lengths behind the top-two and still in solid contention for the win.
Finally, on lap-26 after hounding Sears, Phelps found the power he needed to drive into the lead.
On lap-27 the final yellow flag would wave, slowing the intense battles for positions all over the speedway. The restart would see Phelps, Sears, Tomkins, Wight and Tim Sears Jr. at the front of the field for a mad dash to the checkers.

Beginning in May, CME Group will require brokers for which it is the designated self-regulatory organization (DSRO) to submit daily customer fund levels.
In the notice sent to brokers, CME Group emphasized the importance of customer segregation to the futures markets. "Customer segregation is the cornerstone of the futures industry, and it is critical to ensure the protections afforded under segregation are as strong as they can be for our market participants," it said.
Although CME Group did not name MF Global as the catalyst for the change, many industry analysts are attributing the notice to it. "It became really apparent after MF Global blew up," says Jay Gould, partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. "Before, if [brokers] had to report it monthly, that money could have been doing all sorts of things during the interim."
According to Larry Dyekman, director of communications and education at the National Futures Association (NFA), the new requirement came out of a committee, consisting of CME Group, NFA, the Futures Industry Association and other DSROs, formed after MF Global's collapse. The purpose of the committee was to get all DSROs on the same page and to find ways of improving the system.
In a case related to customer funds, JPMorgan recently agreed to pay $20 million for mishandling customer funds from Lehman Brothers from 2006 to 2008. As Lehman's main clearing bank, it counted client money as belonging to the firm itself while extending loans that let Lehman take positions in markets, the CFTC announced in a statement. When Lehman filed for bankruptcy in 2008, JPMorgan refused to release customer funds for two weeks until the CFTC ordered it to.

The results put all three teams in position to claim semifinal spots on Monday, with one more round of games still to be played on Sunday.Both Mountain WFC U-15 and U-16 Girls are not out of contention for the semifinals, but the two teams have their work cut out for them after results on Saturday.CLICK HERE FOR MATCH DAY 2 PHOTOSMountain WFC U-14 Boys 2 vs DC United 0It took Mountain and Devin Phelan just three minutes to jump on a tough DC United side for an early 1-0 lead. From there, Mountain withstood early pressure to end the half at 1-0. The second half was evenly balanced until a key substitution by coach Tony Francisco resulted in a goal from Jason Wahlla, with his first touch of the ball. Dalvir Sanghera was well supported by a strong defence and solid performance by Daniel Gazzola. Mountain goalkeeper Brando Ciccone was called upon to make one more spectacular save to preserve the shutout and the victory. Mountain now controls their own fate, as a win or a draw over Juventus Sport Club from California on Sunday will put them in the semifinals.Mountain WFC U-16 Boys 2 vs DC United 1Mountain continued their winning ways with a 2-1 win over Major League Soccer's DC United. Adam Bingham scored late in the first half to put Mountain up 1-0. Midway through the second half, DC United was rewarded for their pressure and equalized to make it 1-1. However, with ten minutes to go, Mountain snatched the late winner with a well-placed finish by Massimo Pannozzo. A win or a tie over California's Mustang SC on Sunday will put them into Monday's semifinals.Coastal WFC U-13 Boys 1 vs FC Delco 1Coastal came off the mark much quicker than game one, playing a composed but conservative opening fifteen minutes and absorbing FC Delco attacks. Coastal drew first blood when a trademark Danny Chahal free kick cleared the defenders and dropped nicely for the onrushing Tanner Wright, who clinically side-foot volleyed home from about ten yards out. Coastal controlled the tempo for the rest of the half, with Kiefer Sui and Bryan Fong particularly outstanding with their performances. In the second half, Delco raised their game and kept Coastal pinned for long stretches. With an injury to captain Julian Katz, Coastal was under further pressure. The bubble burst shortly after, as Delco leveled the game at 1-1. With both teams really needing a win to keep pace with Kalamazoo Kingdom (who beat Santa Cruz County Breakers 3-1), neither could get the elusive winner. The draw was Coastal's second in a row and leaves Group D up for grabs on Sunday. Coastal must win and hope that Kalamazoo and Delco play to a draw. A Kalamazoo win will give them the group title, while a Delco victory and a Coastal win will mean that goal difference will be needed to separate the two sides.Coastal WFC U-15 Boys 0 vs Parsippany SC 3Coastal were in tough against New York State champions Parsippany Soccer Club. The first half was a stalemate, as neither team were able to make good on the few scoring opportunities. Parsippany then made several substitutions that turned the game in their favour. After striking the crossbar, Parsippany converted a corner kick on the hour mark, making the score 1-0. They added two more shortly after for a 3-0 final. Joey Audia and Adam Staschuk were strong in Coastal's attack. Audia's tenacity made the Parsippany backline uncomfortable, and Staschuk's work in the midfield kept Coastal in the game.Mountain WFC U-15 Girls 1 vs California Odyssey 1Playing against a physical and speedy California Odyssey side, Mountain were on their heels early. Great goalkeeping from Mountain allowed the team to battle back into the game. In the second half, fresh legs up front and better possession produced several good scoring opportunities for Mountain. In particular, strong play and determination from Yvamara Rodriguez raised the level of play. After falling behind to the Odyssey, Mountain equalized with a spectacular header in the dying minutes. The 1-1 draw meant the U-15 Girls are still in the hunt for the semifinals, but they must beat first-place Cleveland Internationals and hope for some help from the final round-robin games on Sunday in order to gain the lone wildcard spot.Mountain WFC U-16 Girls 0 vs MPS Cape Cod 5Mountain were coming off a dramatic last-minute win over Northern Virginia on Friday, but there were no such heroics on Saturday, as MPS Cape Cod built on a 1-0 halftime lead by adding four second-half goals for an emphatic 5-0 result. The loss creates a three-way tie for first place, but Mountain are currently in fourth place on goal difference. A Sunday win over Juventus Sport Club - combined with a tie in the other match - will give Mountain the group title. A loss or a tie will eliminate the girls from contention for the group title or the lone wildcard spot. Previous Next

LEWISBERRY, Pa. —
Skiiers and snowboarders hit the slopes Saturday at Ski Roundtop for more than just a good time.
The ninth annual Ski 4 Life event was held to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Participants also enjoyed a bonfire, prizes and food.
"Every year it has grown to more and more participants. We are very fortunate here in south central Pennsylvania; we have a very giving and caring community and it allows not only this charitable organization but so many others to raise substantial monies for very important causes," said Bob Craci, event chair.
Organizers say they hope the money raised Saturday would bring the total amount raised since the event started nine years ago to more than $500,000.

Sienna Miller & Balthazar Getty Caught Kissing
Sienna Miller has been caught kissing married man Balthazar Getty while vacationing together on the glamorous Amalfi Coast in Italy.
While on a boat together, the 25-year-old G.I. Joe actress was seen topless and the 33-year-old Brothers & Sisters actor was seen shirtless. The pair were seen swapping spit and kept their arms wrapped around each other all day.
A source close to Ms. Miller reveals, "Siena is totally besotted with Balthazar. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength over the past month and Sienna finds him utterly irresistible. Balthazar arranged for the trip to one of the most beautiful and exclusive parts of the Med."
Sienna was last romantically linked to Welsh actor Rhys Ifans. Balthazar has been married to Rosetta Millington for eight years and they have four children together: Cassius, 8, Grace, 7, Violet, 4, and June, 9 months. The poor wife and kids!
Check out the NSFW pictures at UK's The Daily Mail and The Sun.
DO YOU THINK Sienna Miller is a homewrecker?

Thanks for visiting us at ICCI! Fotos & more
One of the biggest challenges of our time is the control and reduction of CO2 emissions. One way to reduce CO2 emissions is to employ alternative means of power generation such as solar energy.
Concentrated Solar Power is currently the 3rd biggest sustainable power generation industry. It is estimated that this will meet 7 % of the world's power needs by 2030 and this figure is even expected to rise to 25 % in 2050.

XL Video is again supplying all video technical production including LED screen, cameras, media servers and control, to Snow Patrol's "Fallen Empires" world tour, the first leg of which kicked off in the UK.
Video director is Blue Leach, and the show's amazing visual design is a tight collaboration of imagination and style created collectively by Leach, lighting designer Davey Sherwin and Catalyst programmer and operator Robin Haddow. The three are dubbed 'The Art Department' on the tour!
XL Video's project managers are Jo Beirne and Phil Mercer ."With Blue, Robin and Davey working together on a project you are guaranteed some spectacular results and a beautiful, thought-provoking, different and intricately constructed show."
Six trussing pods are the architecture centrepiece of the stage visuals. They are all flown on a Kinesys automation system operated by Dave Jolly and move into different positions throughout the show, culminating in a giant snowflake - the band's logo - at the end of the set.
The undersides of the Pods are all clad with Barco FLX-24 'transformable' LED pixels, for which XL built bespoke PCB mounts that produce a 30 mm pitch surface. This relatively new product provides an extremely dynamic series of off-beat video surfaces that can work in multiple configurations giving a deconstructed jagged look, and also providing the total contrast of coming together in perfect geometric symmetry.
The Pods involved much co-operation between XL's team and the tour's lighting contractors HSL. Both their technical requirements had to be incorporated into the design, which also had to be tourable and practical for fitting into a variety of different sized venues.
The Pods are constructed to split apart, stack, and fit into custom designed dollies for transit and quick and easy deployment / de-rigging in the venue. They are looked after by the two set carpenters Ash Groom and Martin Barraclough. A fibre system is used to connect the Barco DX700 processors running each pod back to the racks side stage.
Upstage is a 60 ft wide by 30 ft deep hang of Element Labs Stealth transparent screen, which has a gauze hung in front and a grey cyc at the back, so with lighting applied to the different surfaces, it can be completely 'disappeared' for the numbers where no content is playing on it.
The screen surfaces are all fed with a mix of IMAG and playback footage, all of which is output, mapped and managed for the screens via the Catalyst media server operated by Robin Haddow via a Hog PC console.
The content was commissioned by the band and their management from two different production sources – Knife Edge and Atticus Finch– some of it follows song narratives and other footage is more abstract and dreamy.
It was left to Leach, Haddow and Sherwin to decide on the live treatment for each of the clips and how they actually appear onscreen .. and there is never a dull or repeated moment. By the end of the show you feel that they could double the length of the set and still have more than enough headroom to come up with an original video look and feel for each song.
Leach mixes from the FOH position using a pair of Ableton Novation Launchpad MIDI controllers. It's the complete antithesis of a standard vision mixing set up backstage, and really suits his hands-on, organic mixing style, where video is run 'live', often in chases and scenes, and bumped in and out, or coloured and effected to match / contrast with lighting cues.
Apart from that, working in the same FOH space as Sherwin and Haddow also helps the fluid three-way combination, intuition and teamwork of the evolving 'visual experience'.
He has a total of 15 cameras at his disposal.
Three are manned – a Sony D50 at FOH with a long lens and another hand-held that moves between the pit and the stage, plus a Toshiba TU48 Polecam.
Then there is a four way Sony Robo-cam system onstage – all in non-conventional positions. The first is under the drum riser which has a section cut out that's covered in scratch-proof Perspex to give idiosyncratic shots of the knees, elbows and the internal workings of the drum kit – areas normally hidden from view. The second is in the roof onstage, another is on the bass rig and the last one is on stage left in front of guitarist Nathan Connolly's rig.
In addition to these are a number of bullet cameras dotted all around, one of which is on lead singer Gary Lightbody's mic, so he appears to be 'wearing' it each time he touches the mic, and there is another on the goose neck clamp of his mic stand to capture its vibrations and movement.
Leach attached a GoPro Sports Cam to Connolly's and bassist Paul Wilson's guitars during one sound-check, and the output is played back 'as live' during the show.
He also uses his iPad running the Fluid Monkey App to activate certain effects including one where Haddow has keyed out all the whites in a piece of footage, which are replaced with camera footage from the left hand Launchpad. Some Catalyst effects are also activated via a Wii controller adding even more to the touchy-feely analogue modus operandi.
Current 'work in progress' for the show includes footage taken from a remote controlled car along with a never ending stream of other ideas that will be unfolded over coming months as part of the visual Big Picture.
All the camera inputs go straight into the Catalyst via HD SDI and are mapped to screens from there. The media server is running a special version of software written for the tour allowing them to run up to 20 inputs.
XL Video's crew chief is Roger Nelson, the chief LED technician is Icarus Wilson-Wright, Rob Wick is looking after cameras and operating the Polecam during the show, Al Bollard is also on LED duty and the semi-legendary Myway …… is engineering.
Snow Patrol is expected to tour for much of 2012.

Chair Cover Change-Up
A basic piece of furniture is practical, sure, but exciting? Verdict's still out. Jacey from Damsel In Dior dug up an old—but still perfectly functional—chair to create a super-simple DIY flipping a long-forgotten seat from drab to fab. Give it a try during your holiday downtime and take pride in your new crafty creation!
Remove the cushion from the chair by unscrewing the cushion from its base. Strip the old cushion of its fabric & be sure to remove as many staples as you can (use your screw driver to help get staples out).
Lay fabric with print facing down and place cushion facing down on top. Trim fabric so that there is enough to fold over the edges (leave about 1.5 inches wiggle room).
If your cushion is rounded, fold a flap of fabric on each edge and staple from the center out. Make sure the fabric is smooth and tight with as least amount of bunches possible.
Continue working the fabric from opposing corners so you get an even pull. Working in an "X" begin stapling one corner, then the opposite and so on. Continue stapling the fabric until you've gone around the entire cushion. If bunching occurs, make sure it is under the seat and not visible from the top. Secure every fold with a staple.
Trim any additional fabric left over as close as you can to staples. If a piece is sticking up that you just can't trim, staple it down—easy fix!

For a full twenty-three minutes, George Lucas throws at us everything we could ever want in a Star Wars film. A claustrophobic and suspenseful massive spaceship dog fight. Jedi masters running, jumping, and slashing at everything in their path. A terrific and plot-driven light-saber fight smack-dab in the middle. A fiery crash-landing to freedom. All that, plus successful comic-relief from R2D2 (his fire trick brought the house down at our midnight showing), dialogue that actually sounds authentic and snappy, and a chemistry between Obi-Wan and Anakin that actually feels genuine. It's as if, knowing full-well what darkness and despair the audience was about to go through, Lucas made sure that the prologue was as much sheer Star Wars fun as he could possibly manage... one last time. I know it's heresy, but Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is actually my favorite Star Wars film of them all (relax nerds, The Empire Strikes Back is second). And that gloriously gonzo go-for-broke first reel and a half is a big part of why.
