Initially named the Local Defence Volunteers (LDV), the name was changed to Home Guard as a result of the slightly derogatory slang term of Look, Duck and Vanish, that became associated with the LDV.Operational between 1940 to 1944 the Home Guard was localised defence organisation with 1.5 million volunteers. Most of these were otherwise ineligible for military service due to age (a subject matter expertly tackled in iconic sit-com Dads Army). The Home Guard served as a secondary defence force around coastal areas, airfields, factories and explosive stores throughout Great Britain.

Financially strapped dot-coms are questioning costly ad deals, and that means less online ad revenue for portals and other properties that had seen Internet start-ups as key advertisers. To tap a potentially more lucrative advertiser base and be top-of-mind in media-buying decisions, online players such as America Online, Yahoo! and EarthLink have recruited people to help build relationships with traditional ad agencies.
Some online players are making the move because they anticipate that interactive ad shops and traditional agencies ultimately will merge.
It's a smart strategy for online companies that want to stay financially viable, said Marissa Gluck, a Jupiter Communications analyst.
"They need to keep building their ad revenue," Ms. Gluck said of portals and other dot-coms. "They can't rely on dot-com advertisers because they have run out of marketing money. They need to develop relationships with automotive manufacturers, healthcare companies, financial services providers . . . all the marketing categories that have traditionally been big spenders" and that increasingly want ad agencies to develop integrated campaigns.
Yahoo!'s ambassador to the agency world is Murray Gaylord, a veteran advertising executive and former exec VP-chief operating officer of the Advertising Council. He joined Yahoo! in April as director of Fusion Marketing.
"The goal is to get traditional agencies to understand what [the Internet's] all about," said Mr. Gaylord at the time of his hiring.
Last week, Yahoo! joined the American Advertising Federation and secured an AAF board post for Mr. Gaylord.
The company historically has gone to big advertisers for big projects; last July, for example, Yahoo! partnered with Procter & Gamble Co. for in-house-developed integrated promotions of certain P&G brands.
But Yahoo! wants to create more integrated marketing opportunities for advertisers as well as educate agencies about the value of the online medium, and is banking on Mr. Gaylord's industry contacts to do that.
In a similar move, AOL this month promoted Richard Ward, formerly VP-business development in the interactive marketing department, to VP-agency relationships with the charter to build ties with ad agencies. Mr. Ward, a former head of FCB Worldwide's San Francisco office, will seek ways to involve agencies in marketing packages with AOL and, after its pending merger, Time Warner.
AOL was due for some agency relationship-building, admitted Myer Berlow, president of interactive marketing.
"Our relationships with agencies had become almost non-existent because the decision [to buy ads on AOL] was made at the CEO or [chief operating officer] level of a company and not driven by the marketing group of a company," Mr. Berlow said. So the marketer's agency was rarely, if ever, part of the loop.
"We were sort of puzzled over what we should do," Mr. Berlow said. "So the assignment we gave Richard was to work with the agencies to both develop relationships with agencies as well as work with agencies to develop a business model that includes them in the process."
Mr. Berlow denied, however, that Mr. Ward's appointment is an attempt on AOL's part to seek more ad revenue from traditional marketers over dot-coms. "I don't think we are seeing ourselves in a position of having to go beyond the dot-coms because the dot-coms don't have the money anymore. Truth is, online marketing from traditional companies has grown 8,000%. We have deals with Unilever, General Motors, Coca-Cola Co. . . . All of those (deals with traditional marketers) predate the dot-com reality."
Mr. Berlow said he believes the era of the standalone, interactive agency is coming to an end.
"The idea of having an online agency is like what having a TV agency would have been in the 1950s," Mr. Berlow said. "It doesn't make sense. This [online] medium has got to be seen as part of the marketing arsenal," which AOL wants agencies to understand.
Howard Lefkowitz, VP-business development at EarthLink, agreed.
"Clearly, not unlike all previous media, the Internet is looking to assist in the marketing of durable and non-durable goods manufacturers as part of the overall marketing mix," said Mr. Lefkowitz, who for three years has headed content and advertising partnership efforts for the ISP, which also operates a portal for registered members.
EarthLink's advertiser base is a mix of dot-coms and traditional marketers, including American Express Co., eBay, Godiva Chocolatier and kids site MaMaMedia. "There are things that we can do uniquely that other media can't because it's interactive, individual, identifiable and quick. Agencies need to understand that.
"We are in the middle of that heavy lifting: To educate advertisers and agencies, it's one person at a time. We are going to work with them, answer their questions," he said.
In addition, many multiyear, multimillion-dollar deals dot-coms struck with portals in 1997 and 1998 will come up for renewal soon. Many industry executives said they're not sure they've gotten their money's worth.
"We're looking at each and every one of [the portal deals]," said Steven Babowski, senior VP-marketing at CDnow. "So much as changed. A regular portal deal isn't what it once was."

Neways, lately, I've been thinking about nail polish more. Maybe it's cos I've been doing a lot of traveling: weddings, graduations, work here and there. I like artificial nails on most girls (when it's not too darn long and curvy... bless your soul). But I am not an artificial-nail kinda girl either. So I walked into a nail salon and I told them exactly that. "I don't want nail extensions but I'd like my nail polish to last forever." The guy said, "Well, you can get gel nails done." He didn't stay too long convincing me so I just trusted. The lady assigned to me was a darling.
About 30 minutes later or so--maybe 45 actually, I had gel nails and a nice dark purple color to go with it. What are gel nails? Gel nails do not require nail extensions. You can use the powder or the polish. I did the polish. So, they perform a regular manicure on your nails. Then the gel polish is applied, left to dry with UV rays. I believe about 2 or 3 coats were used on me with the clear polish applied last. It lasted over 2 weeks. By the 3rd week, the sides had begun to peel slightly but the tips of my nails were still just great!
The wahala (trouble) with the gel nails was in the removal. I had to soak my nails for over 15 minutes in acetone I think. Make that 10 mins for the first scrape attempt and another 10 or 15 for the second. My fingers looked like they were drying out badly in that chemical. I was getting scared. But after it was off, my nails looked so strong and healthy it was insane. I just applied clear polish for the rest of the week. The removal time was a bit discouraging but I think I will do this again.

This piece from the excellent Tony Blankley in the Washington Times is called "Nix Blix." The article isn't really about the Swedish diplomat per se. Rather, it's about how, in this dangerous world, we need to "get about the business of killing our enemies." In this regard, though, Blankley finds Blix to be a "lethally foolish little man." According to Blankley, "the problem is not that [Blix] is not a premier member of world's diplomatic corps — it's that he is." Blankley is confident that President Bush will ignore "fretting diplomats" like Blix and he takes the occasion of the coming holiday to be thankful for Mr. Bush. We can also be thankful for journalists like Tony Blankley.

Vixen Boombox: Michelle Williams feat. Kelly Rowland and Beyonce 'Say Yes'
It seems Beyonce's full of more surprises than her demeanor lets on. Thankfully this time it's for a much needed Destiny's Child reunion. Michelle Williams snagged Kelly Rowland and Mrs. Carter for her gospel track, "Say Yes." The first church-meets-twerk song infuses heavy beats as the ladies praise their almighty for their uptempo collaboration.
Their latest church tune—which we hope is one of many—will be featured on Michelle's upcoming album, Journey to Freedom. Press play and let DC take you to church.

Hello everyone.
I hope you're all doing well. This is my first time posting, but I have lurked around off and on for a while.
I generally support BART and look up to it as a civil, efficient, and trustworthy transit system. However, what happened yesterday is something that I consider ridiculous.
I was coming home from Hayward via the Richmond line. I knew there would be delays when I went to transfer in Downtown, but was expecting a smooth trip until that point. Well...I was wrong.
Just a note on service animals.
#1 The "Rules" for service animals have changed and this is by law, not by BART.
#2 There are only two animals that are now recognized as service animals; Dogs and Mini Horses. I feel sorry for the dude with the service chicken near 16th and mission.
#3 Because of all the complaints and obvious bullshitters ALL psychiatric/Emotional support/Comfort dogs are now CONSIDERED PETS as defined by law except for... P.T.S.D. dogs.
#4 Service animals must be leashed or teathered and under the owners control.
Nothing worse than standing in a packed car and having to breathe in some person's armpit with no air flowing through the car. For the sake of the species, please keep the air flowing!
Quick question- I have daily parking permit (costing 5.50$) for fremont bart station. Can i use them for Santa clara caltrain parking lot?
Anybody know what ever happened to the Rocket Scientist the District hired to explain the f ups of negotiations from last years>
It seems that the walls in the Embarcadero station are actually white! Who knew? I'm glad to hear that they're finally getting a thorough cleaning. I hope this doesn't stop with Embarcadero: it'd be great to see all the other stations similarly cleaned up. And I'm glad to hear that that ugly overgrown macramé thing at the end of the platform has been dumped.
on Feb 10,14 I was coming down the escalator and I heard a loud clank like something broke a second later the escalator suddenly stopped. I was thrown forward I held on to the rail to break my fall. the agent asked me if I was ok and rushed and blocked off the bottom and the top. I asked him what had happened his reply was "I don't know sometimes they just stop. Bart PD came and took a report and also the agent. the agent called a ambulance. and I was taken to the emergency were xrays showed that I had trauma to my neck shoulders and lower back.
It threw my entire schedule for the day in the city, for which I was already significantly tardy, completely off!
If you are riding Bart and a guy announces in a loud voice that his son is stuck at the airport because his bag is overweight and needs cash DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY! It is a scam. He claims to be military and works at Kaiser but does not have money. He is a male black, approx. 6'0/muscular build, bald headed and wearing glasses. This piece of crap does this constantly and preys on the generosity of people who actually think he needs help. He collects money and quickly gets off the train. Yesterday he got off at Concord. Very aggressive. Don't give him anything, please pass on.
Went to the car of the future preview this week. Not bad at all--yes, the seats are rather cramped, but less so than I thought they'd be. I can actually sit down properly in them, which I hadn't expected to be able to do, as I'm 6'7" tall. I also liked the displays inside that show a live map and the current station, though the displays could be larger to be more readable from across the car.
What did others think?
Does anyone know of any resources such as for finding carpools? BART is getting to be a bit expensive commuting to work each day. I'm not looking for entirely free rides and would be happy to give the driver a buck or two for gratitude. I'm looking for a way to get from WC to downtown Oakland to get to work.
Does anyone know when BART will be hiring train operators again?
Yesterday, my daughter car was stolen from the bart stations and it was found next day at E street near elementary school. Not sure if this was some school kid (or) professional car theif. I want to contact the elementary school to check if they have any video recording of car and theif.
Car conditions was so bad with both Airbag busted and Power Steering wheel so hard, that it won't move.
Great idea, but how are people going to use this when large parts of the system has no/very bad cell phone coverage? (especially data, which you would need for sending pictures)
An empty train derailed Friday night on its way back to the Concord yard. FOR SOME REASON PASSENGER TRAINS ARE ALWAYS STUCK WAITING FOR THESE ANNOYING EMPTY TRAINS GONG BACK TO CONCORD YARD. THEY SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN PRIORITY OVER PASSENGER TRAINS. SOMETIMES WE'RE STUCK AT CONCORD YARD 5-10 minutes WAITING FOR SOME WORKER TO MOVE THEIR FUCKING TRAINS AT THE YARD. When will BART get its shit together.
Perhaps dedicating one car per train for bikes and their riders would benefits everyone.
KTVU recently aired a report on a set of crossover tracks that BART built between Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek stations from 2009 to 2011. Fast forward to 2014 and the crossover tracks are still not working. According to the report BART blames computer and wiring problems for the crossover not working since according to BART they are merging "new" and "old" technology...even though this isn't the first set of crossover tracks BART has built since the system opened.
OK, when will Moe, Larry and Curly learn. Here we go with another quarter million dollar consultant to tell the public what went wrong in negotiations. At the end of the day, the report should be worth five cents. Egos and assholes is what went wrong. The workers wanted a simple cost of living raise plus a bean or two for the past 4 years of zip and management put up the middle pinky. Mgt determined that our place in society was too high and we needed to continue to tumble down the class scale. Yet they demand top performance.
OK, so I think we all get that BART Management is two people. No names need to be mentioned, but just check the lunch lines around the office and you will figure out. Anyway, Obama talked about the need for employers to improve stagnant wages and thus improve employee moral and the like. I guess the dud duo missed their opportunity to be ahead of things, rather they continue to be reactive in every way. Sad state of moral at BART, all for what turned out to be a simple cost of living wage. The cost of the strike is well published in the millions.
When are the two feed baggers responsible for the strike going to pay the price for the $8.4M bill run up for the strike. This is quite the example of competent decision making with tax payer dollars. We will see how many times these bloated clowns pick up the phone and order limitless sandwiches and pizzas when they are on their dime. Time to lube the hinges on the out door and swing it a few times. The only guy that will miss these two Hefers is Nick downstairs. Have a nice day...........

VCRs and DVRs are common devices used for recording purposes. Oftentimes, users operate these devices with a remote-controlled product. An IR, or infrared, blaster, is a kind of remote-controlled device.
An IR blaster is a device used to independently operate electronic equipment that is normally controlled by remote key presses.
IR blasters are often used to enable recording devices like DVRs to switch channels via common tuner devices like satellite receivers and cable boxes. This allows the recorder device to select the appropriate channel before recording. IR blasters are also used to extend infrared signals to equipment or devices that are behind closed doors.
Video of the Day
An IR blaster acts as an infrared remote control, or remotely operated control device, that communicates with other devices via infrared signals. Infrared signals are made up of infrared light, or electromagnetic radiation. IR blasters use infrared LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, to emit infrared radiation. This radiation is focused via a plastic lens into a narrow beam, which directs the signals.

My church and our small group are very intentional in making time for play and feasts and festivals. Escape rooms, bowling, or concerts in the park form tight bonds. Dietrich Bonhoeffer taught his Christian community that it's important to pray for and play with one another. It's difficult to hate a man that you pray for and play with. Here's a wonderful article on A Serious Theology of Play by David Naugle. It's only about a 10 minute read and it's very interesting.
Whataya think?Naugle wrote:Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once observed that Christians "have no joy." He also said, should he ever come to believe in God, he would only believe in a "God who danced" (40). Sadly, he was never able to locate such a God. . .
Play, defined quite broadly as any legitimate and moral activity engaged in for enjoyment or recreation (including sports), is an essential part of our divinely created humanity as the image of God and is therefore an intrinsic good. . .
The[se] unenthusiastic references to play . . . represent what is undoubtedly a considerable portion of the story about play that has been told to countless numbers of Christian believers throughout the ages. It often seems like Christianity has no place for play or for the joyous celebration of life. It's no wonder, then, that play seems out of bounds for many believers.
The universal and transcultural fact is that children are natural born players. This well-attested observation is sufficient in and of itself to establish the idea that play is an indelible characteristic of human . . .
The riotous and uproarious play of animals also teaches us something about the authenticity of play as a vital part of natural life . . . Surely the animals tell us something about the playfulness of the God who made them . . . and about ourselves as made in His image.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Audio recordings indicate a state trooper pursued a speeding SUV carrying Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, but did not pull the driver over after realizing who was inside the vehicle.
The recordings released Tuesday to The Associated Press capture dispatchers laughing about the April incident near Fort Dodge.
Now, the Iowa Department of Public Safety is reviewing the handling of the incident.
A Division of Criminal Investigation special agent who initiated the pursuit, Larry Hedlund, has been placed on leave. Hedlund's attorney, Tom Duff, says Hedlund was put on leave after complaining that the governor's driver — a trooper — had put public safety at risk.
Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht says the governor and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds were inside the SUV, but were unaware of the incident until Tuesday.

Humans in a goblin game?
...but hell, it's a magical world, or even a dreamscape, so trying to define everything in scientific terms is probably pretty futile
What really grabs my interest about the Labyrinth setting is the fact that the "Goblin King" looks so human. In the descriptive historical work for the goblin tarot, I hypothesized that the concept of a "goblin" king might be related to the old stories of changelings. These are the stories where fey creatures abduct human children and leave their own children in return. Thus we have goblins growing up as humans in our world, and humans growing up as goblins in the "otherworld". The goblin king is a human brought up to think that he is a goblin, an exceptionally large goblin with an exceptionally long lifespan (comparatively), he would think he was immortal and a god among these small green-skinned creatures.
The goblin king wouldn't be the only human captured in this manner, but such humans would be few and far between. They'd be hidden by secretive cults in sanctified temples or sacred spaces designed to look like a human bedroom. Why would they abduct such humans into their world? Perhaps as the source of dreams to harvest? Perhaps as a prestige thing? Our village has a human under it, does yours? Of course, if the goblin king found out about such others in his kingdom, he'd make life exceptionally difficult for them. He might try to drive them back to the mortal realm, or ask that his minions "take care of the intruder".
Playing a human in the goblin setting would be incredibly hard. You'd either be a slave to a village or community, or some kind of wanderer trapped in the great labyrinth. As a wanderer, you'd probably be tricked at every turn by goblins who wanted to enslave you. You'd be a valuable commodity and you'd have to be very careful to keep your life your own.
I'm really wondering whether to include humans in the game. There would certainly be some interesting room to tell some great human stories portraying them as monsters and powerful forces of nature compared to the creatures around them, but they'd detract from the essential goblin-ness of the setting. Perhaps I'll just use them as potential story elements.

We at WALB recognize the importance of keeping our streets safe. That's why we're launching a new crime fighting program called WALB's Most Wanted.
Starting Monday, we will regularly feature mug shots of South Georgia's most wanted criminals. You'll get an up close look at their faces and hear why they're running from the law. And you, our viewers, will play a big role in apprehending them.
Dozens of law enforcement officers, Sheriffs and Police Chiefs have pledged their support for this program, as was evidenced at a kickoff event earlier this week.
These law enforcers, from 31 South Georgia counties, will provide WALB with the mug shots and background information on criminals on our streets.
We commend these law enforcement leaders for their commitment and we ask you to work with us to put away the bad guys.
WALB's Most Wanted debuts Monday, April 23rd on First News at Five. We hope you'll watch because you could be the one who busts a bad guy.

Your cat loves to get toys and treats and Christmas is no exception. Why not get them a super duper Christmas kitty stocking so's Santa can fill it up on the big day? Better yet, why not make your own?

But if you haven't got the time to make one, you can always buy one.

So make your cat happy and spoil them rotten with a fancy pet stocking and lots of goodies to go with it!

First off, I am sorry I haven't kept up with this blog. The job hunt (albeit, an unsuccessful one) has been keeping me fairly busy. Well, that and watching Supernatural on Netflix. However, I'm writing this because it's to dang important not to write. Anywhoo, I'm going to cut the crap and get to it.
Because 9 years ago today, I was supposed to commit suicide
Warning: There is going to be some very dark imagery here. You have been warned.
Yes, I had it all planed out. Where I was going to do it, the knife I was going to use to kill myself, everything. I had the perfect plan. I thought "All my pain and suffering is finally going to end."
Now obviously, I didn't go through with it. Why? Not because I suddenly realized how great my life was (it wasn't), not because of my own willpower. I am alive today because of one reason.
As a broken man, I cried my eyes out in a bathroom at Advent, I finally realized that just how messed up I was. And then I said JESUS, IF YOU ARE REALLY REAL, THEN FIX ME. IF YOU REALLY ARE LORD, THEN REIGN IN ME AND HEAL MY PAIN. COME ON GOD, COME ON!!!
The one reason I'm alive today has a name. His name is Jesus Christ.
Before I go any further, here's how I got to that moment. This is from an old blog that I wrote a few years back.
My life before I knew Christ was full of ups and downs. My parents were divorced since I was 5, but they both treated me with nothing but love. However, when I went to school, it was a completely different story. I was often picked on by other kids because of my height and weight. I was always teased as the "fat kid" by everyone else. I also was very shy, meaning that I didn't have very many friends when I was young. Even though they were divorced, both my parents went to Advent Lutheran Church in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Naturally, they pushed me through Sunday school. Honestly, I only went because my parents made me. But I did enjoy it somewhat, and I always thought God seemed like a nice guy. This continued until I was 13.
The events that led to my conversion to Christ were extremely dark times. When I was 13, I met some friends named Zack and Chad. I was so happy I finally had some good friends. All was good for about a year, and then things went bad quickly. In 8th grade, Zack decided to start treating me very badly. He started telling me how stupid I was, and got other people to join in too. As a frail teenage boy, this hurt me extremely deeply. I became extremely depressed, and stopped trying in school. I also turned to pornography to try to feel better. After going through this for about two months, I decided one night I wanted to commit suicide. Chad, the one friend I still had, talked me out of this. In my sickness, I decided that Zack had caused all this pain, and killing him was the only way it would end. Over the next few months, I thought of ways to do it. One Monday afternoon, I decided that I would do it that Saturday night after I got back from a church retreat. Looking back, it is obvious how depressed and messed up I was.
That Friday, I made plans to hang out with Zack at my house that Saturday night. While he was sleeping, I planned on killing him, and then immediately killing myself. However, I had an overnight church retreat. It was fairly typical, and I still can't remember what it was about. At the end, our church's youth pastor J.C., decided to play some worship. And when he did, he played a song called "Lord, Reign in Me." In the song, the singer asks God to take control of them in their darkest hour, and to reign over their lives. I was completely paralyzed by the Holy Spirit during the song. And at that moment, I realized just how sick I was and how desperately I need a savior. I then ran into the Church's bathroom and started crying my eyes out. I then asked God to take control of my life, because I obviously couldn't do things right myself. I ended up going home and sleeping that night. I had asked God to take control of my life. On Saturday, February 21, 2004, I began my journey towards Christ.
And He did heal me. It didn't get better right away. I still struggled with school, and I still got picked on. But, in his mercy, Christ decided to bless me with friendships that lasted a lifetime. I became closer than ever with Chad, who's still one of my best friends to this day. I met Nick, who I EVENTUALLY became best friends with (long, funny story there). Finally, he blessed me with Jared, who ended up leading me to formally accept Christ about a year later. Jared is still my best friend, and has done more for me than I can ever possibly say. The most important thing Jesus gave me was hope in Him. Hope that no matter how tough things got, he was always there with me. Hope that no weapon formed against me by the devil shall prosper. Hope that he had a plan for me beyond my wildest dreams. And finally, hope that when others mocked me, I knew how much Jesus loved me.
This isn't my story. This is how God used me in his story. I didn't climb out of my own personal hell; I was pulled out of it by the man that conquered death itself. Friends, if you are hurting, lay your cares upon the Lord. He cares for you. He loves you. He wants to help you. We cannot get ourselves out of our own messes. Only He can.
After all, I've seen firsthand: Jesus is always there to save you, no matter how deep of a pit you're in.
I'll leave you with these songs:

Plan calls for complete excavation, removal of radioactive wastes
By Terry Duffy
"We now have a path forward; we're now ready to take this to the next level."
So said LOOW Community Action Council member Joe Gardella Jr. Tuesday in response to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' recent proposal for the Interim Waste Containment Structure at the Niagara Falls Storage Site in northern Lewiston. A 10-acre cell constructed in the mid 1980s, it houses high-level K-65 radioactive wastes dating from World War II-era uranium processing, plus lower-level R-10, L-30, L-50 and F-32 residues.
On Dec. 7, the Corps Buffalo District released its feasibility and proposed plan for the IWCS - one that calls for a complete excavation, partial treatment and off-site disposal of the entire contents of IWCS under alternative No. 4.
"The release of the proposed plan for the Niagara Falls Storage Site represents the culmination of years of hard work and informational exchanges and interaction with the local community and stakeholders," Buffalo District Cmdr. Lt. Col. Karl D. Jansen said. "The preferred alternative in the proposed plan will provide the best overall protection of human health and the environment, and is responsive to the feedback and input received from the community and stakeholders during development of the feasibility study."
LOOW Site project engineer John Busse and Corps staffers met with the LOOW CAC to outline, in detail, the Corps plans for the IWCS. For northern Niagara County residents, the $490.6 million plan, once completed, will mark a radical transition for the LOOW site, originally a 7,500-acre parcel that, in past decades, has seen assorted government war-related activities, including dumping.
"The feasibility study/proposed plan came out this year. Our current schedule has us coming out with a record of decision in 2017. From that point forward we're ... targeting 2020 to get a decision," Busse said of the ultimate future of the IWCS.
So what does that mean for area residents? Plenty according to the Corps. As noted under alternative 4, all of the material inside IWCS would be excavated and disposed of off-site.
Corps reps report the IWCS, when constructed, was divided into subunits A, B and C.
Subunit A, containing 28,440 cubic yards of wastes, is where the highest percentage of radioactivity - 98 percent - is found. This includes K-65, L-30, L-50 and F-32 residues - wastes placed within the confines and basements of former buildings 411, 413 and 414 at NFSS, now demolished. Also found in the subunit are assorted contaminated materials, including soils and building rubble and debris from the demolished structures on the NFSS. Subunit A is found in the central and south-southwest portions of the IWCS cell.
Subunits B and C, found in the middle and northern sections of the IWCS, contain assorted rubble and debris associated with K-65 waste handling, demolished building structures, contaminated ore-processing residual materials, and lower-volume contaminated soils. The estimated total volume of both units is 249,632 cubic yards, yet the actual percentage of radioactivity is just 2 percent.
According to Busse, the cleanup process would involve a complete encapsulation of the IWCS cell and the use of robotics to open it up and remove the subunit A materials.
Lower level wastes in subunits B and C at the IWCS would be handled using standard Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program protocols and equipment, similar to that used earlier at a Corps cleanup at a Linde facility in Tonawanda, Busse said.
No human contact would be involved within the encapsulated unit whatsoever, and the entire IWCS would have safeguards to protect the community with regard to air monitoring and release. Busse pointed out this removal method was successfully utilized by the Corps when it performed a similar radioactive landfill cleanup back in the 1990s at Fernald, Ohio.
"Basically, we'll put a big, tent-like structure over the facility - put it under a vacuum so we'll be sucking air out of there," Busse said. "We'll have remote controls that will be digging into the material."
He said the material would then be put into an airlock enviornment en route to the waste handling facility and there would be zero exposure to workers. All air would go through radon control systems prior to release.
"We'll capture it (the air) and push it through carbon prior to release in the stacks," Busse said.
He explained the high-level K-65 wastes would be encapsulated via robotics into sealed IP-2 canisters 6 feet in diameter and approximately 10 feet in height, and then placed onto flatbed trucks - two canisters per vehicle for transport. A total of 3,800 canisters would be involved and upward of 28,400 trucks would be used in the removal process - one which would see all IWCS wastes removed for ultimate disposal at a WCS-secured radioactive waste site in western Texas.
Busse said the entire remediation removal process would take two to four years.
As to a timeframe for doing this, none was provided Tuesday.
Busse said an ultimate decision on what future action will follow at IWCS would be dependent on government funding, placing the IWCS NFSS project into a competitive funding determination process with a number of other similar-like Corps projects, many classified as still active sites. The IWCS cell in Lewiston serves as a waste repository and is not viewed as an active site requiring immediate remediation.
"We're put in with all the other (sites under) the national program. Then we'll sit there and wait for funding like several of the other sites," Busse said.
He said the priority for funding under the national program, both for feasibility studies and for actual work, goes to the ones that are considered active for remediation work.
"There's a lot of big sites out there," Busse said. "Until they finish up, there's slim pickings (of available funding) for the other sites."
Discussions were left Tuesday with LOOW CAC to pursue further contact with the area's federally elected officials in Congress toward obtaining priority government funding for the project. No cleanup work would be expected until committed funding is available. Busse indicated a "best-case scenario" for this could be anywhere from 2022 to 2032.
But with the Corp's selection of alternative No. 4 - the complete cleanup at IWCS - the process has already begun.
The Corps will hold a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016, at the Town of Lewiston Senior Center, 4361 Lower River Road. The session will include a historical video, a poster exhibit with Corps Buffalo District staffers, expanded discussion of the proposed plan and Corps alternative No. 4, and opportunity for public comment.
The Corps' public commentary period opened Dec. 7 and continues to Feb. 6, 2016.

The Lafayette Life Insurance Company began as the vision of a handful of turn-of-the-20th century businessmen, to provide the best possible insurance protection to people at the lowest reasonable cost. Their vision became reality on December 26, 1905, when the Articles of Incorporation established Lafayette Life as a mutual company, with headquarters in Lafayette, Indiana.
From its humble beginnings in the nation's heartland, Lafayette Life has emerged as a leading provider of insurance products and services. This has been achieved by taking advantage of strategic opportunities, by answering critical challenges, and by embracing changes that have positioned the company to grow and to prosper.
The company is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states except Alaska and New York. Guided by its three founding principles—solid and unquestioned financial strength, attention and service to policy owners, and close relationships with field associates—Lafayette Life has remained focused, yet flexible… allowing it to not only survive, but to thrive in an ever-changing marketplace and industry.
Lafayette Life has remained strong despite the impact of two world wars, the Great Depression, the stock market crash and the challenges of a changing marketplace, industry and society. Nothing has deterred Lafayette Life from meeting its primary obligation to policy owners. Additionally, although dividends are not guaranteed, Lafayette Life has never failed to pay a policy dividend to a dividend paying policy.
That bedrock of financial security and a sense of rightness allowed Lafayette Life to pay the war claims of World War I casualties, even though the company was not obligated to do so. During the Great Depression, when banks and other mortgage holders were foreclosing on delinquent accounts, Lafayette Life did everything possible to help real estate owners—especially farmers—keep their land.
In some cases, delinquent mortgage holders deeded their farms to Lafayette Life, which then leased it back to the owners. This allowed the farmers to keep their insurance, their farms, and their dignity. For more than a century of service, Lafayette Life's employees have contributed their time, talent, and financial resources to support civic, educational, cultural and religious activities.
Responding to challenges and strategic opportunities, Lafayette Life has continued to grow and evolve as a leading insurance company. In 2000, Lafayette Life reorganized into a Mutual Insurance Holding Company structure. This change added structural flexibility while allowing the company to retain its mutual culture. The reorganization enhanced Lafayette Life's ability to engage in mergers and acquisitions and to access the capital markets, if necessary, to remain competitive and to grow.
In June 2005, Lafayette Life aligned with Western & Southern Financial Group, a Cincinnati-based diversified family of financial services companies. This strategic alliance has made the company even stronger and more competitive, and it has provided Lafayette Life improved financial ratings and greater resources.
With the strength of our organization and our ongoing commitment to serving you and your family, Lafayette Life Insurance is a company you can depend on.
In 1717 the French government established Fort Ouiatenon across the Wabash River in what is now known as Tippecanoe County, Indiana. The fort became the center of trade for fur trappers, merchants and Indians. The town of Lafayette was platted in May 1825 just three miles north of the fort. Like many frontier towns, Lafayette was named for a French General named Lafayette.
General Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer born in Chavaniac, France. In the American Revolution, Lafayette served as a major-general in the Continental Army under George Washington. Wounded during the Battle of Brandywine, he still managed to organize a successful retreat. He served with distinction in the Battle of Rhode Island. In the middle of the war he returned to France to negotiate an increase in French support. On his return, he blocked troops led by Cornwallis at Yorktown while the armies of Washington and those sent by King Louis XVI prepared for battle against the British.
Lafayette is buried in Picpus Cemetery in Paris, under soil from Washington's grave at Mount Vernon. He became a United States citizen during his lifetime, and received honorary United States citizenship in 2002.

WPP Group, Publicis Groupe and Havas Advertising will compete to handle the accounts of Paris-based Sanofi-Synthelabo, which spent $58.4 million on U.S. advertising last year, according to TNS Media Intelligence/CMR.
The move to consolidate comes as Sanofi-which also markets Plavix, a preventative drug for second heart attacks, Aruxtra (thrombosis) and Eloxatin (cancer)-seeks to protect its top brand.
Ambien is the most widely prescribed sleep aid in the U.S., with anticipated 2003 sales of $1.3 billion, according to IMS Health. That accounts for nearly all of the estimated $1.5 billion in prescription sleep medication sales last year, according to Merrill Lynch analyst Gregory Gilbert.
IMS Health research showed a 25% growth in the sleep-drug market in the last two years. "Ambien is the prize here," said a Havas executive.
Ambien doesn't lose patent protection until 2006, but will face stiff competition in the category as soon as this month. Sepracor's Estorra, a sleep aid that can be taken for longer than the recommended seven to 10 days usually prescribed for Ambien, is close to Food and Drug Administration approval. Its launch will be backed by a $50 million campaign from Interpublic Group of Cos.' McCann-Erickson, New York.
Sanofi's accounts are currently scattered among various agencies and holding companies. Ambien, which gets the lion's share of the U.S. media budget, is split between Havas' Euro RSCG MVBMS Partners, New York, and independent healthcare specialist Abelson-Taylor, Chicago.
Havas is believed to be pitching with Euro RSCG and Arnold Worldwide. WPP is relying on Ogilvy & Mather and Young & Rubicam, as well as its CommonHealth Group. It was not clear which Publicis agencies are participating in the review.
All three holding companies will make presentations this week in Paris. Sanofi said a decision is expected by the end of the year.
"It's a very strange review in that it's being run out of Paris but it's mostly for the U.S. market. Even the briefs went out in French. We had to get somebody to translate it," said an executive from WPP familiar with the review. "They're looking for very specific tasks on each brand, especially Ambien."
Also looming is another rival, expected to hit the market in 2005: Neurocrine Bioscience's Indiplon. Indiplon will come in two forms, including one in which 75% of the drug leaves the body after five hours to avoid morning grogginess.
Some analysts expect Indiplon to be successful, in part because of the drug's effects and in part because Neurocrine chose Pfizer as its marketing partner on Indiplon.

Today I am going to write down the steps for creating a change request with a template from a release record automaticaly using Orchestrator. You may do the same using powershell but Orchestrator seems more easy for this type of projects. You can find the Powershell version (not the same but gives but gives an idea) in my previous blog;
I get bored of creating a change requset evey month for several services each having different CI's, start-end dates and Manual activities. There is no option for Scheduled tasks in Service Manager, therefore I
Here is the flow chart prepared in Orchestrator;
Steps in detail;
- Creating a release record from a RR template Manually from SCSM console
- Runbook triggered from RR template
- Getting the relationship between Runbook and RR
- Creating a new CR from a CRtemplate relatd to RR acquired in previous steps
- Updating Start and End dates of the new CR
- Building relation between
- Updating Areas in CR;
1) Searching SCOM servers from Active directory and adding to Change Request CI section
2) Filtering Active directory users and passing a desired user to Change Request's "assigned to user" and "created by" areas.
Next step is to add CI's and acitivity strat end dates to MA's in the CR template. I will add the steps and runbook screenshots later.

Love the doctors and they got me in quickly
Less than 1 actually. Waited for 1.5 hours and never did get in to see the doctor. Two people with later appointments were seen before me. When I asked about what was going on the MA said "how do you know they were seen before you?" Well. Because we all waited for the past 15 minutes in the 2nd holding area and we all talked about our long wait. At that, there were still 4 people ahead of me. Dr . Rahal may be a great GI doctor but unless you have all afternoon to wait for him go somewhere else.
Awesome doctor, staff really make you feel cared for and usually I can get in within a day if I just call in. Facilities are clean and comfortable also plenty of handicap parking
A decent office, staff and care, overall satisfied. The facility needs more parking especially for handicap persons
very knowledgeable doctor. He takes his time with his patients, He was literally in our room for 45 minutes. Such a good doctor cares for his patients.
Office is very friendly and they have met all my needs. They been very efficient in calling my refills, returning message from the Dr. and Dr. herself has called me personally to talk to me too. Dr. Maheshwari is a very knowledgeable, compassionate, caring and has met all my medical needs. I would high recommend Dr. to all my friends and family.
Horrible! Totally incompetent and inept people ! God forbid you rely on them...You will be either dead or disabled before you know it! You need to know the doctor you want to go and to get them to approve it!They are idiots! They don't understand any thing! They are in this business just for the money and everything else is a Fraud! They ARE A FRAUD!!!!! If you can, go a way from them!!!!!
After 18 months of my husband going there for stage 3 Copd and severe emphysema we needed a refil on a emergency inhaler and our pharmacy and us contacted them 4 times! They kept saying they never got it we kept telling them he needed it. Never did get it! Girls in front office always RUDE, call you a few hours before your appointment to say we want you to come earlier because Dr Mehta wants to leave earlier! Always something! No longer go there
Been with Dr Jose Soto about 3 years. He has been my doctor since I had to be on kidney machine. Since I have a graft in my arm since he found out I could not use my vein. Every time I had to see him he informs me if he sees a problem and informs me what has to be done. He had to open up my graft 5 times do to problems of glotting. Not his fault just my make up of my blood. I've talk to a lot of patients that there doctor don't even see them after there procedure, that's sad! But Dr Soto sees me every six months since 2015 or sooner if I have a problem. One this year I had a problem of bleeding and Dr Soto was not available and had to see a different doctor and all I got was his name and will see me later. That's before I had procedure. When I was in operating room they prep me and covered my face. This doctor came in and left after procedure was done. Never did he see how I was or tell me what he did. Dr Soto has always informed me what he was going to do and how I was feeling before he started the procedure. In fact he has always informed me what he was going to do since I was not completely under. After procedure Dr Soto has come in and seen how I was after procedure. I'm glad that he found someone for front desk that he had to not tell what they had go do. It took 3 persons to make him happy and to smile. In fact he had to bring Jan back to train each front desk person. The 4th person finally was able to do her job and Dr Soto doesn't have to tell them what he needs them to do. I would strongly recommend Dr Soto to anyone. I'm very glad that Dr Soto can smile and laff again. Dr Soto great job!

Physicians and surgeons help to keep people - from infants to the elderly - as healthy as possible. These individuals provide diagnoses and treatments for a wide variety of ailments, and preventative care and early detection for more serious illnesses. Whether you love or hate going to the doctor, the fact is your physician is there to listen to your health concerns, take preventative measures against diseases and advise you on your options for staying in tip-top shape.
In 2013, there were more than 1 million doctors of medicine in the U.S., over 854,000 of which were active. Additionally, in 2012, there were about 18,000 active general surgeons in the country. It's important to know which type of physician or surgeon you need, how to choose the best one, and account for other considerations in order to stay healthy.
Patients can choose from a wide variety of physicians depending on doctor specialty and what problems they are experiencing. Here are a few of the most common types of physicians that you may see in your lifetime:
General Practitioner
Your GP is the doctor that you go to for regular checkups, vaccines and to identify health issues. GPs can treat many different illnesses and injuries, from the common cold to a broken arm. If your health requires a second opinion or expert care, the GP will refer you to a specialist who has the skills to focus in on the issue.
Heart attacks and heart disease are some of the most common afflictions seen across the country, making cardiologists important to your long-term health. These physicians specialize in studying and treating the heart and related diseases.
Other than a GP, the dentist is likely the most common physician you'll ever see. These professionals work with the human mouth, ensuring that your teeth and gum health are up to par. Patients typically go to the dentist twice a year.
Dermatologists are focused on skin-related issues and diseases, from skin cancers, to acute acne, eczema, psoriasis, and general cosmetic concerns like aging and scars. Most will also perform annual or semi-annual mole checks to screen for any signs of melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.
If you have a number of sinus infections or have had your tonsils taken out, you've likely seen an ENT specialist. ENTs handle ailments related to the ear, nose and throat, often related to taking out tonsils and treating hearing issues.
For many women, their gynecologist and obstetrician are the same person. These professionals work with the female reproductive system to focus on reproductive health, fertility issues, prenatal care, options for new and expectant mothers, neonatal care and childbirth. OB/GYNs can also help in the early detection of breast or cervical cancer.
There are obviously a number of physicians that you can choose from, but how do you know if they're the best choice for you? Here are a few considerations to help you pick a physician:
Look at Your Insurance
Before you get down to the details, you need to verify which doctors are covered by your insurance and whether they are in or out of your carrier's network. Rates may be cheaper if the doc is in network – a doctor can be covered by your insurance but not necessarily in network. Out of network is typically more expensive. Doctors often add and drop plans, so it's important to ensure that your options are compatible with your insurance plan. Doing your homework will help you avoid unexpected expenses.
Check for Board Certification
Your physician should be certified through the American Board of Medical Specialties. Doctors must earn a medical degree from a qualified school, complete three to seven years of residency training, be licensed by a state medical board and pass one or more ABMS exams to be certified.
Examine the Reviews
Reviews of a doctor can reveal a lot about what your experience may be like. People may grade on staff friendliness, availability and effectiveness of treatment. Looking at these evaluations and getting recommendations from family and friends can direct you toward a physician for your needs.
Surgeons can literally hold your life in their hands, and it's important to find the best one that can put you at ease and treat you effectively
Compatibility Factor
You need to feel comfortable with your surgeon. It's important to communicate your concerns and that your surgeon can respond adequately. Surgeons should be willing to go over the details of your procedure and answer any questions that you may have. They must take the time to discuss and address your worries.
Expertise Level
If you're going in for surgery, you want someone that knows what they're doing and has a high success rate. Ask how often the surgeon performs this surgery and try to find one that regularly does it. This will give you peace of mind that you're in capable hands.
Your decision on a physician or surgeon can be majorly affected by the insurance plan you have. You may have insurance through employment, your spouse, your parents if you're under 26, or the marketplace if the previous options don't apply to you. It's important to understand how your insurance works to have the full picture of what you'll need to pay for.
Your insurance will have a deductible, which is the amount that you're responsible to pay for covered medical expenses. Some plans have coinsurances, where you must pay a certain percentage of the bill, and insurance will cover the rest. Co-pays state a flat rate for certain services, like paying $20 when you visit your GP or a $100 co-pay for an emergency room visit. Once you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, which will differ if you're an individual or within a family plan, your insurance may pay for 100 percent of covered medical expenses for the rest of the plan year.
If you plan to go to the doctor, need medication or have been recommended for surgery, call your insurance provider or go online to see what your plan covers. You can choose the best doctor for your needs, understand your options and prevent yourself from being blindsided by medical expenses.
Most doctors require a phone call for an appointment, although some may provide online scheduling as well. Be sure to have your insurance card with you when you set an appointment, and to bring it with you to the actual appointment. They need the ID numbers to verify your coverage, and will usually make a copy of the card for their files so you don't have to show it again unless your insurance changes.
When you call, let them know if you're a new patient, as this will require you to complete some paperwork for your first visit. Tell them the reason for your visit, such as your symptoms if you're feeling sick. It's also important to inform them if you have Medicaid and to find out if you need to bring anything to the visit, like current medications or medical records.
From here, the receptionist will likely ask what dates and times work best for you. During your call, it's important to be honest about your symptoms and the reason for your visit. This information will help the doctor treat you and give him or her an idea of what to expect. Your appointment may progress faster as a result, and the doctor can come prepared with a list of options to better care for you.
Doctors see a number of patients in a day, sometimes in 15-minute increments in areas where the physicians are in high demand. This can leave little time for doctors to perform thorough examinations, and they can end up missing certain problem indicators. While some problems, like a cold or flu, can be diagnosed in this time, more complex ailments require attention, which takes up time. Reviews can illuminate which doctors actively spend the necessary time with their patients and which ones are pressed against the clock to meet demand.
Surgery has some more dire risks attached to it, so be sure to talk to your surgeon about the potential issues that can come up as a result of your procedure. If a patient has a reaction to anesthesia, it can cause very serious complications, but this is an uncommon occurrence. Blood clots can be a significant problem after surgery, often caused by inactivity during recovery. Infections, numbness, scarring, swelling and death are all possible, but the likelihood of these issues will vary depending on the type of surgery you're undergoing. Talk to your doctor about your concerns and your risk potential.
Surgery affects people in different ways, but as you begin to emerge from anesthesia, you'll want to alert your nurse to any issues you may have. The nurse will tell you how the procedure went, what effect it will have on your condition, what to expect when you get home and how long it will take to get back to normal. If you start feeling pain, the nurse may give you medication to stop it from getting worse. When possible, it's also advised to move around to avoid blood clots from developing in your legs. This can be as simple as occasionally flexing your knee or rotating your foot.
Some surgeries are outpatient procedures, where people are released the same day. For major surgeries, patients may stay at the hospital for a few days to be monitored and address any concerns before being sent home. Discuss with your surgeon the projected length of the hospital stay and what you need to bring.
Your recovery time and follow-up expectations will vary depending on your procedure. For example, you can be expected to be on your feet within a few days of having your wisdom teeth taken out, but it may be weeks before you have fully recovered from a broken foot or heart-valve surgery. Your surgeon will give you a list of things that you'll need to do during this time, including what medications to take and when you'll be able to get back to work and other activities.
Every surgery will have a follow-up call or appointment to discuss your recovery and allow you to ask any questions about unusual symptoms or changes in your overall health. If you have a major operation, like heart surgery, it's important to make regular checkups with your doctor or a specialist to ensure that everything is normal. Visiting a doctor will help deter infection and verify that everything is healing as expected. These appointments will give you peace of mind about your state of health and ensure that any issues are caught early on.

Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska star in Richard Ayoade's The Double
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Zombieland) and Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre, The Kids Are All Right) will star in a new comedy by Richard Ayoade, The Double, set to shoot in the UK in spring/summer this year.
Inspired by Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella of the same name, The Double is the story of an insignificant man driven to near breakdown by the appearance of his doppelganger. Funny, frightening and dream-like, the film will reflect on loneliness and our need to love and be loved.
Based on an original idea by Avi Korine, The Double is co-written by Ayoade and Korine, and produced by Amina Dasmal and Robin Fox of Alcove Entertainment. Andy Stebbing will co-produce. The project was co-developed with and will be co-financed by Film4.
Ayoade's confident and stylish debut feature Submarine, an adaptation of Joe Dunthorne's Welsh coming-of-age tale, was a huge critical success. Ayoade is also known for his performances in TV comedy shows including The Mighty Boosh and The IT Crowd, and will soon be seen in ensemble sci-fi comedy Neighbourhood Watch alongside Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn.
Tessa Ross, Head of Film & Drama at Channel 4, says: "Richard's joyous debut film, Submarine, established him as a unique voice and so we are really delighted to be supporting his next project, The Double. With Jesse and Mia now on board, it promises to be a wonderful journey."
The creative team will include Production Designer David Crank (The Master) and Submarine Director of Photography Erik Wilson (Now Is Good, Tyrannosaur).
