Tony Emerson Leaves CULC for IC FCU
Credit Union League of Connecticut President/CEO Tony Emerson has been named the new president/CEO of the $465 million IC Federal Credit Union in Fitchburg, Mass.
Emerson succeeds retiring CEO Tony Cali at the 21,000-member Massachusetts credit union. He has been CEO at the CULC since 2008 after previously serving as vice president at Maine Savings FCU in Hampden.
Cali has been at IC FCU since 2008.
Emerson joined the credit union industry in 2001 at Penobscot County FCU after working for a global manufacturer and serving in the U.S. Air Force as a contracting officer, his new employer said.
"After an extensive national search process and many strong potential candidates, the board feels Tony has the skills and leadership capabilities to take IC Federal Credit Union to the next level of growth" Ken Stone, chairman of the IC FCU Board of Directors, said in the credit union's announcement.
"The board, staff and members are all loyal and dedicated to the success of the credit union. I look forward to working with all of them well into the future to ensure the continued growth and prosperity of the credit union," Emerson said.
In addition to this credit union and league responsibilities, Emerson has consulted on business strategy and strategic management and been published in various publications, including Credit Union Times.

Has President Obama ended a second cold war? A cascade of news stories and editorials are creating the impression that his newly concluded START agreement with Moscow heralds a breakthrough in an intensifying standoff between Russia and the United States. "The new treaty represents perhaps the most concrete foreign policy achievement for Mr. Obama since he took office 14 months ago," gushes the New York Times. The Washington Post, for its part, hails the treaty as "the most extensive nuclear arms-control agreement in nearly two decades"; it represents "President Obama's first victory in his ambitious agenda to move toward a nuclear-free world."
This narrative rests on a single premise: namely that between the 1991 START agreement and Obama's new treaty, nothing of genuine significance occurred in the arms control arena with Russia. Particularly under the George W. Bush administration, the argument goes, the nuclear standoff with the Kremlin was treated with benign neglect as security perils multiplied. But all this is myth wrapped in a legend, shrouded by fable, and also almost wholly irrelevant—except in the imagination of arms-control enthusiasts—to American security.
One central development largely airbrushed out of the picture is the 2002 Moscow Treaty negotiated by President Bush and ratified 95 to 0 by the Senate seven years ago this month. The Moscow Treaty required each side to reduce its operationally deployed strategic nuclear warheads to a level of between 1,700 and 2,200 by the year 2012. At the time the treaty was signed, the United States had roughly 6,000 of such warheads. In May of last year, before the Obama administration had gotten even a toe wet in the nuclear realm, the number had already been cut to 2,126. The Bush administration had brought about a radical decrease of more than 60 percent—retiring 4,000 warheads from operational service—from the 2002 level, achieved nearly four years ahead of the Moscow agreement's schedule.
By contrast, President Obama's START agreement cuts American warheads from the current 2,100 to a level of 1,550. The United States will thus be making, thanks to Obama's negotiating prowess, a reduction of, at most, a mere 550 warheads. Which president made the larger cuts, and which president reaped a larger reward?
Of course it was Obama who won a free trip to Oslo to pick up a Nobel Prize even before he had a single arms-control notch with Russia in his belt. Though Bush's legacy remains far more significant, it is unimaginable that the former president would ever be considered even a runner-up for such a tribute. His abiding inability properly to pronounce "nuclear" was the least significant of many peccadilloes that made him ineligible for plaudits even when, by the stated objectives of arms-control advocates, praise was heavily warranted. The pillars of the liberal establishment would no doubt prefer to sit all day on plutonium pits than give Bush credit for beating warheads into ploughshares.
But ironies abound here. There may be conservatives in Congress and elsewhere who also prefer to sit on plutonium pits rather than support Mr. Obama's new treaty, which they say weakens America's deterrent or is inadequately verifiable. The trouble is that many of these voices were quiet or silent while George W. Bush slashed the U.S. arsenal over the course of his two terms in office. This raises the question of whether high strategy or low politics is behind the criticism of the new START agreement.
Whatever the answer, a plague should descend on both camps. For the disquieting reality is that arms-control accords with Russia are a diversion from the real security challenge before us in the nuclear arena. In the world we live in today, whether Russia has 2,000 or 1,000 nuclear warheads matters far less than whether North Korea and Iran have one nuclear warhead or zero. North Korea's Kim Jong Il and Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad can thus share a chuckle at our tragicomic celebration of a treaty with Russia that leaves the central security issue of the day untouched. The fundamental flaw of the new START treaty is that it will do nothing to end their laughter.

AJR Members Gather to Commemorate Kristallnacht
Members of the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) gathered on Thursday 9 November at the AJR Centre in West Hampstead, London to commemorate the 68th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass.
AJR members participated in a commemorative service led by Reverend Larry Fine, which concluded with the lighting of memorial candles. For the first time, the AJR's commemorative service was attended by AJR members from Scotland and the north of England as part of a three day visit to London.
During the course of the evening of 9 November 1938 more than 1,000 synagogues were destroyed and more than 20,000 Jews were arrested and deported to concentration camps.

For the same period this year compared to last, there were 11,471 deer killed in just over a month in our state. This year only 7,671 were killed at the time of this writing. Katie bar the door tomorrow, because the statewide public lands modern gun doe hunt is open, and I'm sure we'll see a catch up with this year's total harvest numbers. See www.ark.org/agfc/gamecheck/reports.php to see the up-to-date harvest numbers.
I remember years ago when I always looked at the statewide deer forecast for Arkansas. There were an estimated 400,000-500,000 deer in our state back in the early 1980's. Today our deer herd is estimated at around 1 million. That's quite a growth in our deer population, considering the increase in the bag limit and the liberal hunting season we enjoy. I'm sure many of you can remember even farther back when just seeing a deer track was worth celebrating.
I've seen very few nice bucks killed by local hunters, but that's not saying they're not being killed — just that none of my friends have been doing the killing. That is, with the exception of one who killed a huge 8-point that scored in the low 160's, which is a world-class deer for Arkansas. He had been hunting this deer since last year and connected with him on one warm, mosquito laced morning in the Arkansas delta.
I received a lot of comments from my column from last week titled "It's a sad day when …" Well, I need to add another one to the list that just came across my desk. Seems as though the left coast, specifically California's governor, just signed a bill that prohibits the use of lead ammunition when taking wildlife with a firearm.
The last I checked, shooting marshmallows at animals just annoys them. I'm glad I don't live in California. All that "sunny and 75" weather has fried all their brain cells.
Many local hunters are still trying to figure out whether they'll be able to hunt during the upcoming muzzleloader permit hunts at White River National Wildlife Refuge. The government shutdown has shuttered the refuge, too, and all the wildlife has been furloughed. Hopefully those with permits will make alternative plans and find other places to enjoy the great Arkansas outdoors. The world will keep on turning, regardless.
As the trees begin to show a hint of autumn, deer season will begin to reach its stride and hunters will become more successful as they find deer movement becoming less nocturnal. The toughest thing to hunt is a nocturnal deer with no flashlight. They are cagey animals and smarter than most humans. That's why we celebrate like we do when we finally kill a mature buck.
If you have success this season, we want to know about it. Send us your photos and we'll be glad to publish them. We don't want any blood and guts photos, so keep this in mind when you're setting up your photo.
Respect the animal, and create a lasting memory that you can look back on for many years. Great photos are timeless and we encourage all hunters, young and old, to spend a couple extra minutes staging their photo so the animal and hunter are the focal part of the picture.
Good luck this season and as one of my friends always says, "hold it on 'em."

- United States Grand Prix
Webber excited by 'awesome' Austin
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
- Championship:
- FIA Formula One World Championship
- Drivers:
- Mark Webber
- Teams:
- Red Bull
According to Red Bull's Mark Webber, the new Austin circuit will provide drivers with one of the most challenging layouts on the calendar in 2012.
The US GP returns to Texas this weekend after an absence of four years when it was previously held in Indianapolis. And Webber is excited by the challenge the new Hermann Tilke designed circuit will bring.
"We need to see track temperatures and how the asphalt is for the car in terms of grip - we've got a lot of unanswered questions which we only learn on Friday, but the layout looks awesome," said Webber. "It's probably one of the best layouts of the year in terms of being challenging for the drivers and the cars.
"I've been to Austin a few times, I've got some buddies there. It's a really vibrant city, similar to Melbourne, and I know the locals are going to really embrace it. They obviously have the huge music festivals and they pull those off really well in terms of the organisation and getting everyone around."

Jerry Meyer is the national basketball recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. He tackles your questions in his weekly mailbag feature.
Previous mailbags
Got a question? Click here to send it to Meyer's Mailbag
Is Kansas on the verge of landing a pair of five-star prospects?
Where will recent UNLV commitment Nigel Williams-Goss likely land in the Rivals150 for the class of 2013?
And when will the Rivals150 for the class of 2011 be updated?
National Recruiting Analyst Jerry Meyer addresses these questions and more in this week's mailbag.
Waiting it out
Any word on which direction late signees Ben McLemore and DeAndre Daniels are leaning, and a timetable for their decisions?
- Tim from Topeka
Daniels and McLemore are presently the two major recruiting newsmakers as the highest ranked unsigned prospects in the 2011 class. Daniels is scheduled to visit Texas December 19 for his fourth official visit. My gut feeling is that will be his last visit. He has already visited Kansas, Kentucky and Oregon.
At this point I think Kansas is the team to beat and Texas has significant ground to make up to bring back Daniels, who was once committed to the Longhorns.
Kansas has a need for a small forward with Daniels' abilities, and Mario Little's recent legal troubles may very well open up a scholarship for Daniels to enroll over the semester break. Word out of Daniels' camp, however, is that he will wait till next year to start playing.
McLemore has stated his desire to settle on a school after meeting with his family over the Christmas break. It is down to Kansas and Missouri. Kansas has been his leader, but Missouri is trying to pull an upset and land the talented St. Louis, Missouri native.
Big get for UNLV
Nigel Williams-Goss' verbal was a big step for UNLV. Do you think he will be a top 50 player in 2013?
- Jimmy from Mt. Laurel
Landing Williams-Goss was a great get for UNLV. He has an extremely high basketball IQ and is a tremendous passer. His all-around game is solid as well. The knock on his game is that he is not the quickest of guards, but his strength, IQ and skill level make up for that deficiency.
It is tough to pinpoint where he will end up in the 2013 Rivals150, but he will likely be around the No. 50 range. He has a game that is quite comparable to 2011 Vanderbilt signee Kedren Johnson. Both are tall, big-bodied point guards with high-level basketball IQs and passing abilities. Johnson is currently ranked No. 75 in the 2011 Rivals150.
Only the strong thrive
Frank Martin seems to recruit players that go under the radar. Is there a certain type of player that he tries to recruit, kind of like Bob Huggins?
- Shane from Mahattan
Coach Martin is certainly doing an outstanding job with the Kansas State program and has put together a roster with a nice mix of prospects. Yes, he does have under-the-radar prospects who are performing well, but at the same time Curtis Kelly, Rodney McGruder and Wally Judge were highly ranked prospects.
The common thread between Martin and Huggins' recruiting is that both coaches place a high premium on toughness. Both are demanding coaches who are tough to play for, so it takes a certain mentality to thrive in their system. Developing players with mental and physical toughness has produced success on the court.
Mike Anderson and his Missouri program also comes to mind as a program that operates along similar lines as the Kansas State and West Virginia programs.
Western's class
Where does the incoming class of Western Kentucky rank, and how much impact will they have in moving Western in the right direction?
- Carlos from Morgantown
Western Kentucky actually had a nationally ranked recruiting class for 2011 prior to the decommitment of four-star prospect Cezar Guerrero. The Hilltoppers still have a strong class which easily falls into the top 10 of mid-major recruiting classes.
The top recruit in the class is Rivals150 prospect Derrick Gordon, who is a powerful combo guard. Forwards Vinny Zollo, Nigel Snipes and George Fant are three-star prospects who have had success on the travel circuit and should be productive players in the Sun Belt Conference.
Western Kentucky has traditionally had a strong program, and this recruiting class will help continue that tradition.
Final 150
When will your new Rivals 150 come out for the class of 2011?
- Matt from Flint
The final 2011 Rivals150 will come out after the spring all-star games in April. The McDonald's All-American Game, The Jordan Brand Game and the Nike Hoop Summit provide a platform to evaluate the top prospects one last time.
The major adjustment which will have to be made is deciding where reclassified Pittsburgh commitment Khem Birch fits in with the five-star prospects in the 2011 class.

Storen reaches one-year deal with Nationals
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
The Nats have not commented on the agreement.
Storen sat out more than half of last season after undergoing right elbow surgery in April but finished the regular season strong, posting a 2.37 ERA with four saves and 17 games finished in 30 1/3 innings over 37 appearances. Storen's most memorable moment of the year, however, was his part in the Nationals' collapse in Game 5 of the National League Division Series, when he fell one strike short of pushing Washington into the NL Championship Series.
In three Major League seasons, Storen has racked up 52 saves with a 2.96 ERA and 150 strikeouts in 161 innings over 164 games.
The right-hander became eligible for arbitration as a Super Two player, ranking among the top 22 percent in service time among players with between two and three years of service time. The previous collective bargaining agreements required a player to rank among the top 17 percent in that category to receive Super Two status.
The Nats are now left with six remaining arbitration-eligible players: outfielder Roger Bernadina, reliever Tyler Clippard, shortstop Ian Desmond, starter Ross Detwiler, reliever Craig Stammen and starter Jordan Zimmermann.

Damn Metro, i have been reading these threads for years and this is as negative as I seen you...did you give up on the Knicks or something?
wow, and i'm usually the negative one.....the wife tells me to "Think Positive" all the time....lol
Hey ya gotta admit, no one thought the Knicks would finish 2nd in the east last year (including me)
Im not losing sleep over this , players get better by practicing with their team not on paper. We have been paper champs / "better" by our offseason moves and then nothing comes of it. You have to play the game not gonna predict anything until I actually see the teams on the court healthy and contributing.
Learned this being a Knicks , Mets , and Redskins fan
Knicks, Pacers, Heat and Bulls all pretty much stayed the same
Wanna know what they all have in common a strong core while the Nets added 2 dudes literally done playing at a high level
I would have more impressed if they added Kirilenko, Korver, Brewer and Boozer(rumored)
you guys forget that a team with defined roles and players who fit those roles will outplay a team that throws together names like Proky did and thinks he's got a modern day dream team
If they're 5th then we're are we? We're still superior to them therefore they aren't a factor... so did you cheer for the knicks? Did you cheer for melo?

Maybe i'm looking at things through Rose colored glasses (I don't think I am tho) but people who agree with this thread must not have seen all the things written last season about Nets being such a good team, and Celtics winning the division and the Knicks being a 6 or 7 seed in the East etc. "Il Mago" is an upgrade from what Camby and Novak brought to the Knicks last season, it just is, whoever believes its not doesn't know basketball. Unlike some of you, I think JR Smith will get better this season, Shumpert will get better, I think Stat will get better. and I think Woodson was humbled in the playoffs getting out coached by Rivers and Vogel, and I hope he gets better and smarter with his subs and hopefully hires an "offensive coordinator" . But, reports of the Knicks demise is greatly exaggerated.

What happens if the Cavs sign Bynum this week? a healthy Bynum & Varegao with PG-Irving and the #1 pick Bennett run run game of young teammates will make the playoffs.
The Detroit Pistons signed a new coach in Chauncey Billups, plus sign Star Josh Smith .. GM Dumars is not finish if he want to make Billups his future HC.
Toronto Raptors have a full roster of cheap trade-able decent role-players at $2M to $6M to trade during the season to become a playoff team. The Raptors are no longer stuck with the silly idea of building around a 2nd-tier $12M per Bargani to win .. They made a dollar off a ten cent from the Knicks.
Then u have the Hawks, Bucks, Celtics, 76ers, Wizards, and Bobcats making deals the next 3 months ..
The Knicks have 7 players contracts that brings the team over the luxury tax bracket ($76M), and only 2 of those players play defense. The other 5 players (Felton/JR/Melo/Bargani/Amare) are easy to score and rebound on .. Coach Woodson is going to wish he was back in Atlanta...
Knicks are getting better, Nets are getting older, I still think we can beat them in 7...
HELL NO! I was mad as HELL when we made that Melo-Trade, u dont recall.
u still dont understand what Kidd and the OLD-HEADS brang to the Knicks (Superiority).
We are left with ISO-ISO-Melo calling all the shots ..
Stat will not b Stat untill Melo is out of the rotation ..

2010 was a tough year for Paramore after the shock departure of founder members Josh and Zac Farro, but 2011 kicks off on a great note; a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.
Last.fm Trends looks at the band's competition to see who Last.fm listeners want on top.
There might be a groundswell of support for the Glee Cast, there might be an army of Train fans urging them on, but not a one of Paramore's four fellow nominees comes close to denting the band's lead in this category.
216,690 listeners have played nominated track "The Only Exception" 2,445,817 times so far, almost 500,000 times more than Train's nominated track "Hey, Soul Sister."
Maroon 5, Sade and the Glee Cast languish a long way back, with a combined play count of just 1,103,983.
"The Only Exception" is one of Paramore's best performing tracks. It's currently number two on their weekly charts, pulling 13,008 listeners in the last seven days. That number's remained stable, fluctuating only occasionally as the Recent Trend graph on the right shows.
For a band to have such a consistent playcount so long after their last new release is a sign of a rabid fanbase. After two nominations without a win for the group this year could be their time.
Find out when the 53rd Annual Grammy awards are broadcast on CBS, at 8pm on February 13th.

SNOW HILL — Although police are still seeking the wanted Delaware man, the lockdown of schools in the Snow Hill and Pocomoke areas has been lifted, authorities confirmed this afternoon.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
At 8:30 this morning, according to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations, the Snow Hill Police Department was advised on a tip that a Jessey Dean Dudley was wanted in Delaware for Escape and Burglary charges. He was spotted in the area of Pleasant Manor in Snow Hill, and the Snow Hill Police Department attempted to apprehend the suspect as he fled on foot into a wooded area. He was described as a white male, wearing a Blue hooded sweatshirt, and Blue jeans. Due to the general clothing description there were numerous false sightings.
The Worcester County Sheriff's Office, Maryland State Police, Maryland State Police Aviation, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, Worcester County Bureau of Investigations and the Pocomoke Police assisted with the search in an attempt to locate and apprehend the subject.
Due to the fact the Pleasant Manor Apartment complex is near Snow Hill High School, it was determined to place all of the schools in Snow Hill on "lockdown" as a precaution. Local law enforcement remained at the schools for safety. There was no risk of danger for anyone at the schools.
Law enforcement utilized several K-9 dogs to track the direction the suspect fled. The Maryland State Police had deployed a helicopter and assisted with the search. However, the suspect was not located.
It was later learned that the suspect had walked off at a "work release" minimum security facility in Delaware and had not returned. Authorities in Delaware obtained a warrant for his arrest for escape. He was serving an undisclosed amount of time for a burglary conviction.
Police have determined that the areas around the school had been thoroughly searched with negative results and it was decided to lift the "lock-down" of the schools and resume normal activity.
The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation is currently actively investigating this case. Any information related to this case may be forwarded to the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations at 410-632-1111, or to the Lower Shore Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

Middlebrooks exits with soreness in right wrist
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Third baseman Will Middlebrooks left Wednesday night's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles in the first inning with soreness in his right wrist and will be re-evaluated on Thursday.
Middlebrooks, facing Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman with two outs and runners on first and second, tried to check his swing and immediately stepped out of the batter's box clutching the wrist. He was met by members of the training staff as he walked back toward the dugout, flinging his helmet as he exited the game. He was replaced by Pedro Ciriaco, who got the Sox on the board with an RBI single in the third inning.
Middlebrooks fractured his right wrist last August but said earlier this spring that he is "absolutely 100 percent right now. ... I feel as it did before it got hit."
Boston can hardly afford to lose the 24-year-old Middlebrooks for long. Middlebrooks obviously brings a powerful bat in the middle of the lineup, as he posted a .288/.325/.509 line in 286 plate appearances as a rookie in 2012.
But more important, the Red Sox don't have much Major League-ready depth at third base. Ciriaco would likely fill in for the short term, and top prospect Xander Bogaerts -- a shortstop who should play some third base for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic -- will likely become part of the conversation if Middlebrooks is out for an extended period of time.
Ciriaco played 76 games as a utility man for Boston last year, batting .293 with a .705 OPS while playing all three outfield positions, second base, shortstop and third base. Bogaerts, 20, reached Double-A Portland as a 19-year-old last season, compiling a .307/.373/.523 line with 37 doubles, 20 homers and 81 RBIs between Class A Advanced Salem and Portland.

OCEAN CITY — If the full City Council would have been in attendance on Wednesday, both the city bus and the Boardwalk Tram could have seen their duties lightened a bit in the name of cost savings.
There have been indications that the City Council will look to trim the scope of services of both the off-season city bus schedule and the Boardwalk Tram, but with a few members short on Wednesday, they shelved the presentation from Public Works Director Hal Adkins and Transportation Superintendent George Thornes until next week's budget wrap-up session.
"I think we should wait and do this when everyone is here," said Mayor Rick Meehan. "Otherwise, we are going to have to go over all of this stuff twice."
Council members Doug Cymek, Lloyd Martin and Margaret Pillas were absent from Wednesday's budget hearing, which heard presentations from the Municipal Airport, the water and wastewater departments, as well as the heavily scrutinized transportation department.
As expected, the council had taken the hints from City Manager Dennis Dare that scaling back certain services or amenities offered in Ocean City, like the tram or the winter bus schedule, might be one of the only ways for the council to find additional savings in their quest to lower the tax rate from the proposed 40.5 cents per $100 assessed valuation.
Thornes reported that the transportation department had trimmed over a half a million dollars from last year's budget and had already decreased man hours in both tram operations (1,616 man hours) and bus operations (6,984 man hours) substantially.
"We have cut 344 deployments of the city bus over the course of a year's time," said Thornes. "We saw 140,000 less riders last year, and we are finding that we are running too many buses in the early morning hours, so we are starting them later, which will give us a better presence when people are using the buses late at night, and in doing so, may actually increase ridership and revenue."
Last year, the council considered completely eliminating the "graveyard shift" during the winter months for the city bus, but the majority of the council thought that it wasn't time to ask the people who rely on the service to get to and from work to make that much of a sacrifice.
Next week, the full council will consider the same idea and perhaps others in hopes of saving a notable amount of money.
Still, there were some members of council who are concerned with just how fine a line this decision could be in going too far with asking the public to sacrifice.
"We have to be careful that we don't cut a service that some people really rely on when they come to Ocean City," said Meehan. "Even though a smaller amount of people use the tram or the off-season bus, the people who do are really appreciative that it's there and have come to expect it."
Councilman Joe Hall, on the other hand, was looking to increase revenue by pitching an idea to raise the West Ocean City Park-n-Ride one-way bus fee (to the S. Division St. bus station) from $1 to $2.
"The Park-n-Ride does very well on the weekends, but Monday thru Thursday, it's pretty much where its always been and that's mostly empty," said Hall. "I don't think that people would have a huge problem or we'd lose ridership if we raised it a dollar to $2 each way, because no one really seems to mind paying $2 for the city bus."
Ironically, Hall also queried Adkins when the last time the city bus fare was raised each way.
"Councilman Hall, it was at least in the last eight years, and as I recall, you were on the council when we raised it (from $1 to $2)," explained Adkins.
The Park-n-Ride, by comparison, lost 31,000 riders last year, and with the city's decision to cut 600 man hours from the Park-n-Ride, coupled with the city's new traffic routing system after this week's squabble with a local business owner, in which it will instruct traffic to go to the West OC Park-n-Ride, Thornes was concerned he would be short-staffed.
"This is as conservative of a budget as we can have and still operate at the level we have been, but if there is a hiccup or an 'uh-oh' we are not going to be able to make it, so the traffic diversion to the Park-n-Ride concerns me," Thornes said.
Meehan said that he didn't believe that people would "drive off the island, just to get a ride back onto the island", despite the fact that city signage will now recommend motorists driving towards the Inlet lot utilize the Park-n-Ride.
In the end, all departments showed a trimming of their budgets, including a 27-percent reduction in the purchasing department's budget, thanks largely in part to the trimming of hours at the city's impound lot.
Water, wastewater and solid waste make up the largest of the town's departments, but all noted sizeable budget decreases, thank mainly in part to the recent decision to eliminate recycling and the city's retirement incentive plan.
"We've cut everything down to the bone", said Adkins.
Next week, the council might attempt to cut into that proverbial bone during the budget wrap-up, and consider altering the bus, the tram, and perhaps the Park-n-Ride, but few on the council think that they will come close to saving the million dollars needed to lower the proposed tax rate by a penny.

Commission Opinion [COM(1999) 69 final - Not published in the Official Journal]Commission Report [COM(1999) 508 final - Not published in the Official Journal]Commission Report [COM(2000) 708 final - Not published in the Official Journal]Commission Report [COM(2001) 700 final - SEC(2001) 1751 final - Not published in the Official Journal]Commission Report [COM(2002) 700 final - SEC(2002) 1407 final - Not published in the Official Journal]Commission Report [COM(2003) 675 final - SEC(2003) 1206 - Not published in the Official Journal]Treaty of Accession to the European Union [Official Journal L 236 of 23.09.2003]
The 1999 Opinion emphasised the protectionist nature of Malta's economy, the difficulty of assessing Maltese industry's ability to withstand competitive pressure within the European Union (EU) and the clear need to restructure local industry before accession.
The 1999 Report concluded that Malta had to restructure its industry and the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) sector.
In its November 2000 Report, the Commission stated that Malta had made good progress in defining an industrial strategy, and that the Government had taken steps to improve the business environment.
The November 2001 Report commented that Malta was continuing to make good progress towards establishing an industrial policy and promoting investment. Privatisation and restructuring were making less headway. As regards SMEs, progress had been made in the area of enterprise policy and in adopting measures aimed at helping their development.
The October 2002 Report took stock of the progress made by Malta in the field of industrial policy and SME policy, particularly with regard to improving the business environment.
The November 2003 Report recognises that Malta meets the commitments and requirements arising from the accession negotiations in the field of industrial policy and SME policy.
The Treaty of Accession was signed on 16 April 2003 and accession took place on 1 May 2004.
The aim of Community industrial policy is to increase competition so as to raise living standards and boost employment. It is intended to encourage the creation of an environment conducive to initiative, the development of business within the European Community, industrial cooperation and to improve the exploitation of the industrial potential of innovation, research and technological development policies. The European Community's industrial policy brings together instruments drawn from several different Community policies: some of these concern the functioning of the market (product specifications and market access, commercial policy, State aid and competition policy), while others concern the ability of businesses to adapt to change (stable macroeconomic environment, technology, training etc.).
Industry in the candidate countries will have to have attained a certain level of competitiveness at the time of accession in order to be able to cope with the competitive pressures and market forces within the European Union. The candidate countries will have to show that they are following a policy aimed at creating open, competitive markets in accordance with the provisions of Article 157 (ex-Article 130) of the Treaty on European Union.
Malta is continuing to develop its industrial policy. The business community is more involved in the policy-making process. No progress has been made as regards investment promotion. The privatisation process has made little headway. Malta needs to speed up privatisation and restructuring. The administrative capacity of the privatisation unit within the Ministry of Economic Services needs to be strengthened.
Malta has made progress in developing and implementing an industrial policy since the 1997 opinion. This chapter has been provisionally closed, no transitional arrangements have been requested and Malta has met its commitments (see the 2002 Report). Prior to accession, Malta needs to finalise its industrial strategy, privatisation programme and restructuring of the shipbuilding sector.
As regards SME policy, a Business Incubation Centre programme has been launched. Malta signed up to the European Charter for Small Enterprises in April 2002.
Business support services have been rationalised to improve the business environment. The definition of SMEs does not yet totally conform to the Community acquis.
Malta has managed to adapt its industrial policy since the 1997 opinion. This chapter has been provisionally closed, no transitional arrangements have been requested and Malta has met its commitments (see the 2002 Report). Prior to accession, Malta will have to help its SMEs restructure and further simplify the business environment.

Q. Thanks for your excellent work Oracle I wonder if you could clarify has Chris relocated to LA for a while?
The Oracle replies:
As you may know, I'm not keen on commenting on any personal aspects but the work part is something you need not worry about. As far as I know Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol lives (at times) in the U.S. and that works for both his bands. It doesn't really matter to be honest.

Nuggets guard Ty Lawson hit a last-second game-winner over Thabo Sefolosha to defeat the Thunder 105-103 at Denver's Pepsi Center on Friday night.
With less than 10 seconds remaining and the score tied at 103-103, Lawson milked the clock to the end before attempting a pull-up jumper with two ticks remaining. The shot went cleanly through with 0.2 seconds to go and the Thunder could not convert on the other end. Lawson backpedaled after he let it fly and then appeared to celebrate his winner with a "Bernie Lean," a dance that recalls the 1980s movie Weekend at Bernie's.
Lawson finished with 11 points (on 5-for-14 shooting), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes. Nuggets wing Wilson Chandler finished with a team-high 35 points.
Russell Westbrook scored a game-high 38 points for the Thunder, and Kevin Durant added 25 points and 14 rebounds.
Denver improved to 38-22 on the season; Oklahoma City dropped to 42-16.Video via YouTube user firstandskol | Hat tip: @CJZero

Impeller Removal Video Vdrive 8 minutes
I shot a video and timed my impeller removal. It took a total of 14 minutes but at least 6 was spent using large needle nose vise grips and looking for silicone spray lube. Anyways , the previous impeller was coated with anti seize on the brass splines internally, once silicone lube was sprayed thru the exit port of impeller housing it took 3 seconds to pull the impeller out with small needle nose vise grip pliers. The majority of time is spent getting the pliers on the impeller between the veins. I grabbed the impeller at the 12 o'clock position. Video is boring but shows how long it takes from cowling removal to impeller in my hands.

HEREDIA, COSTA RICA -- The LA Galaxy touched down in Costa Rica on Tuesday evening ahead of their CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal first leg against C.S. Herediano.
The Galaxy were met at the airport by a group of Herediano supporters who chanted at the team as they entered their club bus. The group even had their own chant for LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas, who scored a goal against Herediano in the 2011 Invierno final. LA hit the training ground tomorrow afternoon.
Below are photos and video from the airport...

Anything more than an F... you're just kidding yourselves. To only draft 4 players and not get any stars, let alone quality starters... pathetic. F-
All the NFL draft is about is throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks... No matter where a player is drafted, or what his combine numbers are, or what his scouting reports says, can ever really assure you what will happen when they hit the field in the NFL. 1st round players flop, 6th round players become All-Pro's, nobody can precisely predict anything.
That's why it's wiser to stockpile picks and even trade back for more picks if you can so you can throw more stuff up against the wall in training camp to see what sticks. That's all the draft is about and that's all it ever will be about.
With a veteran free agent player you know what you're looking at, good or bad. With a freshly drafted rookie, you've got no idea... and anyone who tells you different is lying.

Why is everyone hard on Conner? He was fine without injuries.
2) Rex is not in charge of who we draft. Get over it. The Tanny reign is over.
3) The only good thing you can say about Wilson is that most of the other reasonable selections at/after him were not that good either
but let's face it, Wilson is AT BEST average.
Sanchez(moved up to 5) well below average
Greene(moved up to 65) just below average
Slauson(193) average
Wilson(29) just below average
Ducasse(61) well below average
McKnight(112) below average
Conner(139) well below average
Wilkerson (30) well above average
Ellis(94) jury's out
Powell (126) jury's out
Kerley (158) well above average
The rest stink or the jury's out except Coples who is well above average.
One average player, Wilson who was overdrafted. If we re-do 2010 he's a 3rd rounder not a 1st.
Here's the Pats draft in the same year :
1st Round (27th Overall) Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers
2nd Round (42nd Overall) Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona
2nd Round (53rd Overall) Jermaine Cunningham, OLB, Florida
2nd Round (62nd Overall) Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida
3rd Round (90th Overall) Taylor Price, WR, Ohio
4th Round (113th Overall) Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida
5th Round (150th Overall) Zoltan Mesko, P, Michigan
6th Round (205th Overall) Ted Larsen, C, NC State
7th Round (208th Overall) Thomas Welch, OT, Vanderbilt
7th Round (247th Overall) Brandon Deaderick, DL, Alabama
7th Round (248th Overall) Kade Weston, DL, Georgia
7th Round (250th OVerall) Zac Robinson, QB, Oklahoma State
Yeah, they whiffed a bunch but with those tight ends, they recreated that team. We lost a lot of ground to them in 2010.
Wasn't 2010 the year we traded for Cromartie and Holmes and picked up Tomlinson? You can't assess the value of the draft without entering those players in the equation.

Locals fighting an Alaskan wilderness mine
Anglo American promised it would not touch the pristine habitat of Bristol Bay without our blessing. It must honor its word. Among our Alaskan native tribes, a promise made is a promise kept. Such promises over the generations have kept our populations of wild sockeye salmon, which sustain our culture and feed our families, plentiful and healthy. And last year, Cynthia Carroll, chief executive of London-based mining giant Anglo American PLC, made a promise.
In a private meeting with Alaskans in London (including one of this piece's authors), Carroll promised her company would not build its proposed Pebble mine if local residents didn't support it.
The vast majority of Bristol Bay residents, joined by the Alaskan commercial and sport fishing industries, are strongly opposed to the proposed open-pit copper and gold mine project in the headwaters of the bay – spawning grounds for the largest and most valuable wild sockeye salmon on Earth. The Bristol Bay fishery supplies a third of the world's commercial supply. It is the lifeblood of many Alaska native communities and is critical to the state's economy, generating an average of $400m (£250m) a year and more than 5,500 jobs. The UK is the largest consumer of tinned sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay, with $43m-worth (£27m) of salmon exported to the UK last year.
While Anglo American has yet to file a complete application with state regulators, presentations by the company and water rights applications make it clear that the mine will be the largest of its kind in North America, and one of the largest in the world. If built, it would alter this special place for ever. Such a major industrial development will destroy productive salmon habitat and leave behind 10 billion tonnes of toxic mining waste that would stay here for ever. The sulphides in the rock make water pollution a near certainty. Even minute increases in certain metals interfere with a salmon's ability to navigate upriver to spawn.

Cortez and Garcia were stopped in a 2007 BMW near the 85 eastbound mile-marker of Interstate 40 on Thursday for a lane violation, according to an ASP report. The trooper reported smelling marijuana and Garcia and Cortez gave conflicting stories, leading to a probable cause search of the vehicle. The trooper found bags of marijuana in a duffel bag, a speaker box and under the car's spare tire, as well as six ounces of methamphetamine in a suitcase.
The marijuana weighed approximately 46 pounds. Street value of the drugs was estimated at more than $87,400.
Cortez, of Pico Rivera, Calif., and Garcia, of Tulane, Calif., are believed to have been transporting the drugs from California to North Carolina.
• Crettes Wilson, 65, fraudulent use of a credit card, theft of property — $5,000.
Russellville police responded to Legacy Heights Nursing Home on Wednesday morning, where a woman reported she had recently lost her debit card and noticed $170 had been charged to her account from Budget Inn on East Main Street. She said when she called the motel to ask about the transaction, an employee told her that Wilson, who had been recognized as a regular visitor to the nursing home to see family members, had used the card to rent a room for a week on Nov. 11 and was still at the motel.
Upon arrest, Wilson allegedly admitted to stealing the card from a purse in the nursing home's office.
Wilson also owes $2,204.99 in district court fines for 11 misdemeanor hot check violations and faces an additional $443.12 in fines for six pending hot check violations.
• Robby J. Gann, 30, theft of property — $30,000.
According to a warrant filed in Pope County Circuit Court, Walmart employees reported to the Russellville Police Department on Oct. 21 that a man had attempted to use a stolen bank card at the store. Later, a man reported that his vehicle had been broken into and his bank card stolen, and his bank notified him that his card had been used at multiple locations on or about Oct. 21.
One transaction, a withdrawal at First State Bank, totaled $1,600.
Car information retrieved from surveillance video led to police linking Gann with the theft.

That is right.
The juubi is trying to revive itself.
We know, that zetsu is created with the gedo mazo and that the gedo mazo is actually alive.
It is not just a dead statue.
Madara is plugged to the mazo and is unconsciously, following the juubi his orders.
Nagato got plugged to the mazo (the rods) and the juubi got control over him as well.
Obito is using a zetsu body implant, created with the mazo, unlocked ms on top, the juubi took control over him.
The ones that are controlled by juubi, all have the eyes + a connection to the mazo by some means
(zetsu implant and/or being plugged to the mazo).
They are not following their own goals, they are puppets of the juubi.
The more negative emotions they feel, they more they search for power, the more they lose control over themselfs, leading them down a path of darkness.
Jincs were shown to lose control over their bijou as well, when negative emotions peeked to high.
The juubi his control is especially strong, during a full moon.
The younger son of the sage his ways, is the way for true peace. Because humans would come to an understanding with their bijou. They would reach a friendship, like bee and naruto have, with Gyuki and Kurama. Eventually this could be possible with the juubi, if all befriended bijou become one.
Love will prevent getting taken over.
The elder son of the sage his ways, are not about reaching that friendship. His are a search for power and control over the bijou is forced, it is not gained through friendship. Eventually this could turn into the juubi getting revived as being full of hatred.

But this a good thread and I think it's a recipe for success history has shown you win with your stars in their prime or around their prime and with veteran role players.
Miami's role players besides Chalmers and Cole all vets
Dallas in 11' all vets
Lakers in 09 and 10' role players were vets
Boston in 08 another team filled with veteran role players
What people don't get is that this Knicks team would be a bust most likely if they were calling for Kidd to be the starting PG and play heavy minutes or Camby being the starting C or Sheed being like a 6th man or something playing heavy minutes.
The Knicks have a plethora of savvy vets who will be playing no more than prob 15-20 mins a game and in short sports they will produce consistently unlike young players who often struggle with limited inconsistent minutes.
I'm a Lakers fan but I really like the way this Knicks team is put together besides health I can't see this team falling apart there's too many vets and experience in that locker to allow mental lapses and inconsistent play.
These days signing Allan Houston is no longer a joke!
Serious, I think we will benefit from the experience that these players bring. I think Camby backing up Chandler is what we really missed last season.
The way i see it is weve signed a few coaches in uniform. This can only be a good thing, and as you say, it not going to be a long term thing
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
We do not simply have "veterans" who are "old." We have veterans who have had illustrious careers and who will command respect even from our somewhat younger principal players.
Lets face it, despite athletic capacity both Melo and Amare' have a tendency to let down on defense. Sheed, Camby and Kidd, given their time in service and standing, will have no reluctance to call them out on the occasions they manifest defensive disinterest. Melo and Amare' are more likely to pay attention to criticism from veterans who were prime time stars in the not so distant past.


text: Its true what I said about Madara, but about Sasuke. He could have gotten all that by himself, except those that only have 1 option like getting the EMS. Madara couldn't have gotten his power by himself. But Kishi wrote it so Sasuke got the MS from being the one that lead to Itachi's death, and later the EMS from taking Itachi, and since it was Sasuke fault that Itachi died at that very time then he kinda deserves and dont deserves Itachi's eyes.

First Look
You know what they say about a man with a nice shiny car. He's
either compensating for something or loves the adrenalin rush of the illegal
street racing circuit. No word on the virility of the folks at 3DO, but they've
definitely taken the competition route in their latest racing title, Street
Racing Syndicate.
SRS will feature more than twenty licensed vehicles, 90 races
spanning the cities of Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, and loads of
customizable car parts from real manufacturers. Jeff Cretcher of 3DO explains,
"Most of our competitors have more of an arcade feel, which is fun, but we
wanted to make SRS more of a simulation." The cars are realistically
responsive, and they all conform to real physics and real-time damage. There
will be three different types of races, drag races, point-to-point races, and
circuit races all yielding purses with money and respect.
As any accomplished street racer knows, the sport is about street cred as much
as cash. Many will claim that respect is even more important, and in this
sport, respect often leads to more money, but not necessarily vice versa. SRS
features one of the more complex respect systems of the latest slew of upcoming
street racers. Players must challenge opponents wisely. No one will respect a
souped-up Lexus driving against a battered old Pinto. Respect can be gained in
a close loss to a worthy competitor and lost by backing down from a challenge.
Acquired respect may lead to bigger things such as invites to large races and
sponsorships, but everyone knows that respect is all about getting the chicks,
and SRS takes this to heart.
SRS features 18 of the world's most famous street racing models
such as the coy Flo, the seductive Francine, and the sexy Cheri. Okay, so I
made up the adjectives, but trust me, the ladies' reputations precede them.
Don't take my word for it, check out the in-game video of the ladies in bikinis
shaking their bits. Winning and respect brings the ladies flocking, and losing
races and dignity sends them packing. And much like sultans in Turkey or
deranged cult leaders, it's okay to have more than one girlfriend. Collect them
all, in fact. And how's this for a little male chauvinism: gamers can even
enter the ladies in bikini contests to earn even more respect and possibly
cash. Makes me want to go out and by an Acura right now.
Street Racing Syndicate is scheduled for an early August release.


text: ^But there's no reason to call it "Ceti" anything unless it's located within the Cetus constellation. The word "Ceti" has no meaning besides "of Cetus." So regardless of word order, "Ceti Alpha" is going to mean "the Alpha star of the constellation Cetus," and that's Alpha Ceti. In fact, in Vonda N. McIntyre's novelization of the movies, she corrected Ceti Alpha to Alpha Ceti. And who says TOS wanted to avoid disparities with real astronomy? They constantly used the names of prominent real stars: Rigel, Vega, Antares, Deneb, Aldebaran, Capella, Canopus, Altair, Arcturus, Izar, Merak, Regulus, Alpha Centauri, Pollux, Omicron Ceti, Gamma Hydra, Gamma Trianguli, Epsilon Indi, etc. And they quite commonly put inhabited planets around stars that are too young and hot, or too far past the Main Sequence, to support them, since they went with well-known stars and those are usually the abnormally big, bright ones.

NYC Shelters Turning Away Families Despite Dangerously Cold Temperatures
Despite this winter actually acting wintry and cold, NYC homeless shelters have been turning away homeless families on freezing nights if they cannot prove they have nowhere else to go, the Daily News is reporting. Turning homeless individuals and families away has long been a practice of New York City's Department of Homeless Services, which relentlessly insists that you must stay with a relative or at some prior living arrangement if it is still available to you, leaving many homeless no choice but to sleep on the street rather than return to a bad living situation.
But what makes this shift in policy different is that these families are still being turned away during a "code blue" — when the city declares temperatures dangerously cold and has tried in the past to get as many people indoors and safe as possible. The Daily News describes a family's ordeal:
Take Junior Clarke, 23, and his family. The dad said city workers told him to leave the Bronx PATH Center - an intake hub for families - during a cold snap last month.
"They tried to send us outside into the cold," said Clarke, 23, who was with his his wife, Kaneesha, 23, and 4-year-old daughter, Janiah. "They threatened to have us thrown out by police."
The city historically invoked "code blue" status when the temperature dipped below freezing, easing shelter restrictions to get people indoors.
It's not clear when, exactly, the city altered its policy and started enforcing rules requiring some shelter residents to prove they have nowhere else to go - even on cold winter nights.
The Clarke's story is pretty boilerplate for many families left out in the cold by DHS. They were told to go back to a relative's house that was on file from a 2008 stay in the shelter system, a house they were no longer welcomed at. Luckily the Clarke's refused to leave the shelter, instead contacting The Legal Aid Society which "convinced intake workers to give the family a place to stay for the night." Despite the happy ending for the Clarke family, a good amount of homeless individuals and families end up sleeping outdoors in freezing weather.
The city recently admitted to changing their "code blue" policy last winter.
Record homelessness, especially among children, will be one of the main legacies of the outgoing Bloomberg administration, which has consistently failed to provide affordable housing.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by MHT1138, Nov 12, 2012.
[RIGHT]When do people start listening to Christmas Music?[/RIGHT]
The first Sunday in Advent.
I love Christmas music! I am in fact listening to it right now. I will listen to it all year round, but I start in earnest sometime in November.
I don't actively listen to Christmas music, but I can't help hearing Christmas music since it's all over the radio from the day after Thanksgiving (sometimes earlier) until December 24.
I just started listening to some today! It was by accident; I went to stream a station from back home and forgot that they start playing Christmas music very early. I listened to a few songs while cleaning.
When I lived in Illinois, I usually started listening when it started feeling like winter outside. Right now I think I'll cool it with the Christmas music until at least after Thanksgiving. But I do really enjoy the songs.
Generally sometime before Christmas Eve.
I loved it for years. Handel's Messiah, Elvis singing carols, wonderful choirs harking the herald angels. My favorite christmas hymn was, and I guess still is, O Come O Come Emmanuel.
And then one day I was like.. I NEVER WANT TO HEAR THIS STUFF AGAIN.
Kind of like Hotel California. Enough already with these damn songs.
Mind you for the last 10 years we've played Shakira's Laundry Service album every Christmas so it's easy to make new traditions.
One of my friends used to work in a Christmas store, so she heard it every day. So consequently, for years after she stopped working there, she refused to listen to Christmas music.
Could Greensleeves be considered Christmas music? I love that song during the holidays.
I threaten my kids with grievous bodily harm if they play Christmas songs before December 1st. I don't mind some Christmas music, especially traditional carols, but I like anything Christmassy to be confined to December.
I cannot put into words how happy I am to work in one of the few retail chains which never plays music. It makes up for the years I worked in a place which had just three Christmas cassettes: Barbra Streisand, Bony M, and The Chipmunks. It's amazing no employee ever went postal during the holiday season.
In my country, children go from house to house on Christmas Eve and sing carols, so, after the first bunch of them come to my house, I usually get in the mood and listen to some festive music. So, Christmas Eve it is!
I avoid Christmas music whenever possible.
Ever since I read this thread two hours ago I've had Feliz Navidad in my head.
:: swats head ::
They can confine it Christmas week for all I care. Don't get me wrong nothing against it per se, but working in retail. Come Christmas you are fed up of listening to Christmas music.
As for poll options, shouldn't there be a sometime December in there? Rather than two options for November (Some time in November and Thanksgiving weekend as last I checked that's sometime in November)
In my case, never.
christmas music in britain basically means being subjected to Slade and Wizzard in every shop for the entirety of december.
Thus any possible joy is sapped from the concept of christmas music.
^Now Now, Don't forgot about Sir Cliff, Wham and The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl
This, at the earliest.
I love Christmas music but try to restrict it to the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But, of course, the local shops began playing holiday music on November 1st.
Separate names with a comma.

Chris Brown Charged With Criminal Hit and Run, Which May or May Not Violate His Probation
Chris Brown may have escaped trouble in that nightclub assault, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's become a fine upstanding citizen.
This time? An alleged hit and run involving a car accident could violate his probation.
You may remember that not long ago, Brown rear-ended a Mercedes and possibly gave fake insurance information to the driver before leaving the scene of the crime — and as a result of that, he's now had two criminal charges filed against him by the L.A. city attorney.
He's been charged with a hit and run for leaving after giving the fake info, and has also been slapped with a "driving without a valid license" charge. Both crimes carry a maximum sentence of six months in jail for each individual offense. (But don't count on it — Brown's previously dodged jail time for possible fraudulent community service and a parking space brawl.)
The city attorney will also be bringing the charges to the attention of the L.A. county district attorney to see if Brown violated his probation (the one he's under for the 2009 beating of then-girlfriend Rihanna). If it's determined that he did, he could get four years in jail.
Which is, again, highly unlikely. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
Chris Brown, on the other hand, just had more denials to make, writing on his Twitter account:
It's not a hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars).This is really ridiculous
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) June 25, 2013
I have a valid drivers license and I gave the woman the right info. She saw cameras and wanted to make a scene.
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) June 25, 2013
She contacted the cops thinking of a payday from Chris Brown when I followed the proper procedures.
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) June 25, 2013
@tmz is the devil.. Just yesterday you guys were accusing me of assaulting someone( which was false) and now today it's some more bs.
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) June 25, 2013


text: That's the amount of points our defense actually gave up in 2012, which ranks 26th overall. Might not seem much better, but perhaps that's why Munchak is holding onto Gray? 42 total points came directly from turnovers our defense had no control over. Now obviously every defense is susceptible to this happening. QB throws a lob, CB breaks on it and runs it back for a TD in turn making the D look worse than it may be.

In the mid-1990s, the legal community began to consider how the Internet would impact the ethical rules of the legal profession. Spurred by commentary on budding technological issues, the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules) were amended in 2002 to address issues presented by "email" and "real-time electronic conduct." But, in 2012, the American Bar Association (ABA) returned to the drawing board with next-generation issues like globalization, cloud computing and social media on the top of the list. The result: changes to several core ethics rules that will shape how corporate lawyers address the digital issues of tomorrow.
The 2012 Amendments
With respect to technology, the ABA House of Delegates approved several amendments to the black letter and commentary of the Model Rules forwarded by the ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20 during its annual meeting held August 2-7, 2012. Perhaps the most important rule change from August 2012 involves competence. The commentary following Model Rule 1.1 was revised to state that "lawyers should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology."
The commission explained that the clause relates to "how lawyers conduct investigations, engage in legal research, advise their clients, and conduct discovery." Competence in the practice of law is inextricably tied to nearly every other ethical obligation on the books—the implications of bridging technological awareness to this overarching duty are substantial.
In a descriptive overview of the changes, the commission stated that "lawyers need to know how to make and respond to electronic discovery requests"—making and responding to e-discovery competently is a deceptively involved process. Competence surely requires lawyers to understand that electronically stored information (ESI) is discoverable—but just how far does it go? Can a lawyer be competent while ignoring format of production issues, not cooperating with opposition, exclusively using keyword search, failing to consider predictive coding or technology assisted document review, letting client-lawyer preservation communication fall through or skimping on quality control? While the iron hand in the velvet glove for these ediscovery issues remains with the courts, it will be interesting to see how high the commission sets the bar on tech-competence.
In a similar vein, the commission noted that conducting investigations, engaging in legal research, advising clients, and conducting discovery also requires "lawyers to have a firm grasp on how [ESI] is created, stored, and retrieved." More and more, it seems like wherever communication flows, relevant ESI follows. Today contracts no longer live in desk drawers—they reside on hard drives, shared drives and the cloud. Communications about terminated employees have likewise migrated from voicemail inboxes to instant messages, text messages, social media posts and e-mail. This amendment is a clear affirmation that there is no 'opting-out' of e-discovery.
Outside the realm of competency, several other changes from August 2012 affect how lawyers will maintain confidentiality in the 21st century.
- The reference to "e-mail" in paragraph (n) of Model Rule 1.0 (Terminology), which defines "writing," was changed to "electronic communication." This change accommodates for other forms of electronic communication (e.g., social media) that are becoming increasingly prevalent in the practice of law.
- Similarly, in comment [4] to Model Rule 1.4 (Communication), the obligation to promptly return "client telephone calls" was replaced with "client communications."
- The House of Delegates approved the addition of new paragraph (c) to Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality of Information). Paragraph (c) states that "a lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client." The commission stressed that this new rule does not "impose upon lawyers a duty to achieve the unattainable." Instead, the duty is couched in terms of reasonableness; comments [16] and [17] highlight the factor-based approach to determining the adequacy of a lawyer's efforts in safeguarding client information.
- Model Rule 4.4 (Respect for Rights of Third Persons) now directly addresses the issues a lawyer faces when receiving inadvertently disclosed ESI. Comment [2] provides additional guidance regarding when a lawyer must notify a sending party of a disclosure. Further, the commentary articulates that inadvertently disclosed ESI includes metadata.
The amendments also address how new marketing services "such as law firm websites, blogs," and "social and professional networking sites" are affecting the practice of law. The House approved amendments to Model Rule 1.18 (Duties to a Prospective Client) and its comments to bring to light the potential repercussions of client-lawyer electronic communication. The House also approved amendments to Model Rules 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer's Service), 7.2 (Advertising) and 7.3 (Solicitation of Clients). The final amendments address the thorny issues of lawyer mobility and outsourcing in an age of rampant globalization (via amendments to Model Rule 5.5 (Unauthorized Practice of Law; Multijurisdictional Practice)). As business and technology becomes increasingly intertwined, it is critical that corporate counsel fully understand what it takes to practice law in the 21st century.

Drilling may have caused Indonesia mud volcano
A team of scientists said in a report on Friday that they had found the strongest evidence yet linking a devastating mud volcano in Indonesia to drilling at a gas exploration well by local energy firm PT Lapindo Brantas.
Lapindo has denied triggering the disaster through its drilling activities, arguing the mud volcano near Indonesia's second-biggest city of Surabaya was triggered by an earthquake.
The hot mud started spewing from the East Java drilling site in 2006 and has now displaced nearly 60,000 people.
A scientific team led by Richard Davies of Britain's Durham University said data released by Lapindo provided new evidence indicating that drilling caused the disaster.
"We found that one of the on-site daily drilling reports states that Lapindo Brantas pumped heavy drilling mud into the well to try to stop the mud volcano. This was partially successful and the eruption of the mud volcano slowed down," Davies said in a statement.
"The fact that the eruption slowed provides the first conclusive evidence that the bore hole was connected to the volcano at the time of eruption."
The team led by Davies had previously said in 2008 that it was almost certain drilling caused the disaster.
Mark Tingay, a member of the team who is based at Australia's Curtin University, disputed Lapindo's assertion that mud flow was partly triggered by an earthquake in the Central Java city of Yogyakarta two days earlier.
"The earthquake they claimed was responsible had trivial impact because of the distance" between Yogyakarta and the disaster site, he told Reuters by telephone. Yogyakarta is over 250 km (155.3 miles) south west of the mud volcano site.

I am having a lot of luck recently with cheap (€15), low-featured LogiTech webcams like the C250 & E3500 which work literally plug-and-play out-of-the-box under GNU/Linux.
(My Windows-era dead-expensive €99 Creative Live!Cam Voice would not work under GNU/Linux.)
However, after installing LMDE XFCE I was having a problem with Skype not willing to use the webcam microphone nor my rear internal mic.
Running alsamixer or deleting its .conf file would not solve my issue.
Then I learned about this little jewel from the Arch fora...
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
It allows one to configure sound channels in a GUI.
I am now very happy to see Skype automatically grab the webcam mic.

WASHINGTON, April 20 (UPI) -- U.S. well being is linked to marital status, with married people reporting the highest levels of well being and separated people the lowest, a survey indicates.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found U.S. adults who were married had the highest levels of well being -- 68.8 percent -- followed by singles, who had a well being index score of 65. Widowed people had a score of 63.5, domestic partners had a score of 63.3, divorced people had a score of 59.7 and separated people had a score of 55.9.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index data involved a range of subgroups including 6,000 separated U.S. adults to more than 190,000 married adults.
"The differences in well being by marital status were some of the largest Gallup finds within any demographic subgroups," Gallup officials said in a statement. "For example, the roughly 13-point difference in well-being index scores between the highest and lowest scoring marital status groups compares with a maximum 5.2-point difference by racial group, a maximum 3.2-point difference by age group, and a 0.1-point difference between genders."
The well-being index score is an average of six sub-indexes, which individually examine life evaluation, including emotional health, work environment, physical health, healthy behaviors and access to basic necessities. The index is calculated on a scale of 0-100 -- a score of 100 would represent ideal well being.
The survey was conducted from Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2011, with a random sample of 353,492 adults. The margin of error for all adults was 1 percentage points, but for the subgroup separated adults it was 2 points.
