To commemorate the first Division I home game for the men's basketball program in 29 years, the Seattle University athletic department released a list of the top 29 men's basketball players from the previous Division I era.
As the game between Seattle University and Loyola Marymount at KeyArena at the Seattle Center has now concluded in SeattleU's favor, the athletic department has completed a countdown of the top 15 players in Seattle University history. From a list of about 45 names, the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee voted to narrow the list to the top 29. The players occupying spots #29-16 were previously released.

Sewing box
My daughter's birthday was a couple of months ago. Because the nut doesn't fall far from the tree, she is a "maker," like her Mom, so I decided to decorate a box in which she can keep all those little things. I am unable to use my sewing machine now, so I've been finding projects I can do while resting.
The plain box below was for sale for $14.95.
I used paint and objects I found around the house.
Above: Open right drawer of box. Includes a rose packet of vintage needles.
Above: The other level, open, on the right side of the box. I used a vintage pattern, and gave her some bling.
Above: An image of the girl herself is in the front top center drawer.
Above: a portion of the back of the box.

Novak Djokovic survives scare with Cilic to book semi-final with Grigor Dimitrov
Novak Djokovic booked his sixth Wimbledon semi-final appearance and a showdown with Andy Murray's conqueror Grigor Dimitrov by edging a five-set battle with Marin Cilic.
The top seed prevailed 6-1 3-6 6-7 (4/7) 6-2 6-2 to cement his status as the hot tournament favourite after Bulgaria's Dimitrov saw off defending champion Murray.
The 27-year-old has missed just one grand slam semi-final in the last 17, but continues his quest to improve his record of just one victory in his last six major finals.
Until this match, Djokovic's biggest problem had been recovering from a heavy fall in his routine third-round victory over France's Gilles Simon.
The 2011 champion feared he had dislocated his left shoulder and would have to abandon his All England Club campaign, only to discover the popping noise he heard on impact caused minimal damage.
Czech battler Radek Stepanek had proved the only opponent to claim a set from the fuss-free Serbian on his straightforward run to the last eight.
World number 29 Cilic offered a stern examination, once he found his bearings - but even though Djokovic never found full flow, he still located enough poise to step into the final four.
This match was as much Boris Becker against Goran Ivanisevic as Djokovic taking on Cilic, the respective coaches renewing old court rivalries from the cheap seats.
Both mentors have battled to toughen their charges' mental strength: Cilic showed admirable tenacity to shrug off a poor first set, but it was Djokovic's focus that held.
Nerves nearly paralysed Cilic from the outset, as he struggled to settle into the occasion.
The first set whizzed by in a blur, with the 25-year-old fighting a losing battle for control of his faculties.
Limp returns, wayward serves and a glut of unforced errors gifted Djokovic control.
When Ivanisevic won Wimbledon in 2001, he played on the idea of having a host of personas, including '911 Goran'.
Facing an emergency of his own, Cilic might have recalled Ivanisevic's pre-match instruction to "play like a real man".
Somehow Cilic managed to still both nerve and hand in the famous fashion of his mentor and coach, and give the top seed a real contest.
The Croatian saved two immediate break points in the second set, helping to smooth those frazzled edges.
Confidence, big serve and power line-shots reaffirmed, Cilic then converted his first break point of the match for a 3-1 lead.
Try as Djokovic might, he was unable to overturn the deficit, his opponent and friend serving out the set solidly to level the match.
Cilic's resolve had hardened to such an extent that he fended off six break points across two separate games in the third set.
A vital break to lead 6-5 left him serving for the set, only for Djokovic to wrestle immediate parity and set up a tie-break.
While Djokovic was expecting to turn the tide, Cilic stayed relaxed, forced enough openings - and swiped the breaker to lead the match two sets to one.
Losing patience with his own shortcomings and the course of the clash, Djokovic stormed into control of the fourth set.
Two straight breaks secured a 5-2 lead, with the Serbian able to serve out the set unencumbered.
Rejuvenated Djokovic started the final set as he had the fourth, claiming an immediate break - another jab into the midriff of Cilic's resolve.
Cilic denied Djokovic the double break he enjoyed in the fourth set to scramble a foothold at 2-1 - only to hand his opponent that very luxury four games later.
Djokovic then produced a routine service game to secure victory, and that last-four battle with 11th seed Dimitrov.
Djokovic hailed his next opponent Dimitrov as this summer's form man on grass, after the 23-year-old added Murray's scalp to his Queen's Club trophy.
"It's a big win for Grigor: he's on fire these last six months, winning tournaments on different surfaces," said Djokovic.
"He's won at Queen's, he's unbeaten on grass this year, and he's the player to beat.
"I've seen that (Murray's loss). The first three sets we played the points and we could hear the crowd.
"Somehow you can hear Centre Court from Court One, and it was distracting to be honest for both of us - but no excuses."
Djokovic admitted frustrations with his own form, but was at least relieved to raise the tempo for a victorious finale.
"I knew Marin would play aggressively," he said.
"I had a couple of chances to break him early in the second and didn't use that.
"It was a pretty even match in the first few sets, but in the last two I felt like I regained control.
"He raised his game but I allowed him to come back into the match.
"I allowed him to step in, he used his opportunities.
"I was frustrated, because I allowed him to come back into the match and gain control of the rallies.
"But again, I managed to find the right pace when I needed it."

Remote backup services get affordable
StorageTek makes its foray into remote backup; Iron Mountain adds stronger encryption to its e-vaulting service, and HP and EMC unveil backup products for SMBs.
Remote backup services, traditionally reserved for major banks and cash-rich Fortune 500 companies, are now available to small and midsized businesses (SMBs). Two vendors -- Storage Technology Corp. (StorageTek) and Iron Mountain Inc. -- are the latest to get their feet wet in this market.
StorageTek's service, called ViaRemote, backs up data over a standard Internet connection to StorageTek's remote site in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. It's a subscription service that costs approximately $20 per gigabyte (GB) of stored data, or $20,000 per terabyte, plus additional fees for guaranteed services.
ViaRemote is actually Arsenal Digital Solutions Worldwide Inc.'s service, which uses Avamar Inc's software to back up files to the disaster recovery site. StorageTek will resell this service. It enables users to schedule and monitor online backup and restores via a Web-based portal. The software makes eight daily, five weekly and four monthly snapshots, and stores them for a minimum of 90 days.
According to Tony Asaro, senior analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, companies have wanted to backup data over the wire for years, but it hasn't been practical or important enough. "The combination of new regulations around corporate governance and technologies, such as incremental backups forever, compression and data deduplication have made it possible to backup over a small WAN pipe," he said.
He believes it makes sense for StorageTek to move into this market as the company already makes around $1 billion in revenue from break-fix and professional services a year. "It's partly why Sun bought them … online backup just extends StorageTek's core competency in data protection."
This kind of managed backup service offer users, particularly in SMBs, a way to alleviate the growing burden of managing backup, according to Adam Couture, senior analyst with the Gartner Group.
"Backup is one of the most onerous IT tasks and it's usually assigned to junior, entry-level people, and they want to get out of it as soon as possible. It's not something you want to make a career out of -- it just keeps cascading onto the new guy," he said.
By way of illustration, Couture recalled a hotel desk clerk who checked him in late at night with one of the hotel's data backup tapes in hand. "Talk about bad procedures … But it's more common than you might think."
Iron Mountain steps up online securityMeanwhile, Iron Mountain, which has been selling its electronic vaulting service for about a year, has beefed up encryption of the service from 128-bit Data Encryption Standard (DES) to 256-bit DES over the lifecycle of the data, not just as it's transferred across the wire. "We also recommend that customers escrow the keys away, it's not a good idea to print them out and lock them in a drawer," said Wayne St. Armand, product marketing manager of Iron Mountain's electronic vaulting service.
Like StorageTek, Iron Mountain has added a disk-based backup appliance to its service that resides at the customer site to speed up restore times. It also offers users the ability to take a snapshot of their data to tape once it reaches Iron Mountain's vault and then send this tape to a third site. "We have to be more secure than you could do it yourself," said John Clancy, executive vice president of Iron Mountain's electronic vaulting service.
Clancy noted that tape backup still has its place because of the sheer volume of data that has to be saved at some companies. "The laws of physics limit the amount of data you can push over the Internet." Pricing ranges by volume as well as service level requirements, but an Exchange server with 50 GB of data can be protected for about $20 per GB, per month.
Other companies selling managed backup services include LiveVault Corp., EVault Inc., AmeriVault Corp. and IBM.
HP, EMC stick to the old fashioned wayHewlett Packard Co. (HP) has an alternative, introduced this week, that keeps backup in house -- three new tape products aimed at SMBswith little or no IT staff.
The first, a new set of digital audio tape drives, offered in 72 GB and 40 GB densities, uses a Univeral Serial Bus interface eliminating the cost of SCSI interface equipment. The second, an < a href=https://searchdatabackup.techtarget.com/definition/Linear-Tape-Open-LTO>LTO Ultrium 232 tape drive, based on HP's Ultrium 215, offers improved performance and thirdly, a new tape autoloader.Also aimed at small businesses, EMC announced Monday that its Dantz Retrospect backup software offers AES 256-bit encryption and support for Microsoft Windows x64 operating systems. Also new to Retrospect is the ability to perform scheduled grooming of disk backup sets. This deletes unneeded older backup data automatically from a hard drive to make room for newer backups on a scheduled basis.

I, like most people here, sometimes get asked where do I get my meaning in life without God? Where is the wonder? One answer is as clear as your hand in front of your face. Except for great apes, a few marsupials and a few reptiles we are the only species with an opposable thumb. We owe it a great debt. Without it it's unlikely we would have evolved very far. Thumbs made most tools and writing possible and gave our early ancestors critical advantages over other species such as better fine…Continue

Many of us remember Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Brother Bear, Sister Bear, and Honey Bear. Up until 2005 when Stan Berenstain passed away the Berenstain Bears had appeared in well over 100 books, three TV series and several specials and half a dozen computer games. They entertained and educated children on countless topics important to them from homework and friends to stealing, teasing and other life issues that affect them.

We acknowledge gymnasts' leotards leave little to the imagination, and while we've never attended a competition in person it's just assumed that, like on a nude beach, staring is the sort of thing most would consider gauche.
This gentleman, I guess, is gauche. Or he's at least creepy, as he gets himself quite an eyeful during yesterday's women's gymnastics prelims. Is he a coach, judge, interloper? If you watched last night's NBC broadcast with the sound on, you might know; we watched the stupid thing live and weren't left with much interest in the replay.

I have a few questions on the history of PDE.
- Who first wrote down the formula for the solution of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation involving the heat kernel? I have seen it called Poisson's formula. If it is true Poisson has a formula for each of the heat, wave, and Laplace equations.
- Who is the discoverer of the analogous formula for the wave equation in 2 and 3 dimensions? I have seen they were called both Kirchhoff's formula and Poisson's formula.
- Is there a book to look up such questions? I have Dieudonne's History of functional analysis, but it does not have much on PDEs other than the Laplace equation.

Muscles in the pelvic floor are important in controlling the flow of urine. These muscles help support organs in the pelvic area like the bladder and help to stop the flow of urine. Like any muscles, these pelvic floor muscles can weaken over time or after an injury. One result of this weakening can be urinary incontinence, or unwanted leakage of urine. Incontinence is common in women after the stress of childbirth. Fortunately, a little exercise can help strengthen these muscles and improve urinary function. Pelvic floor muscle training has been shown to help control symptoms in women who have incontinence already.
Researchers from the United Kingdom reviewed previous trials to see if pelvic floor muscle training in early pregnancy could reduce the risk of developing urinary incontinence after giving birth. The review, published in the Cochrane Database, found that pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy does appear effective at decreasing the risk of urinary incontinence after childbirth.
About the Study
The systematic review included 22 randomized trials with 8,485 women who were pregnant or had recently given birth. The trials compared pelvic floor muscle training to no training or standard care for prevention of urinary incontinence. Some women had signs of urinary incontinence at the beginning of the trial.
The review found that women who had no urinary incontinence at the beginning of the study and who did pelvic floor muscles exercises during pregnancy had a decreased incidence of urinary incontinence in:
- The first 12 weeks after birth
- The first 3-6 months after birth
There was no clear benefit with the pelvic floor muscle training in preventing incontinence while the women were still pregnant. Also, there was not enough information to assess benefits more than 6 months after birth.
How Does this Affect You?
A systematic review is considered a reliable form of research by pooling several smaller studies. A larger pool of participants increases the chances that the results of the review are true. This review was also made up of randomized control trials which are also considered very reliable forms of research. Overall, several studies have shown that pelvic floor exercises can help reduce urinary incontinence. This review adds that starting these exercise before symptoms show up may help prevent incontinence.
Pelvic floor exercises are a safe activity with no known side effects. They can be done at any point in life but may be most beneficial during and after pregnancy when the pelvic area is stressed. The exercises may be started once symptoms appear but using them in people at high risk may prevent incontinence from even starting. If you are pregnant, discuss these exercises with your doctor.

Charlie Hufnagel, working with TaskRabbit, will stride through the Apple store's glass doors on Friday morning at Union Square on behalf of someone else -- pocketing $1,500 along the way.
With demand apparently at an all-time high for the new iPhone, busy people who want the latest thing are willing to employ any means to get their hands on the new handheld. The prices TaskRabbit is offering vary, depending on the length of wait time requested, time of day, etc.
The going rate seems to be around $55.
A man in Chicago, who is not with TaskRabbit, was offered $500 for his spot at the head of that line -- making TaskRabbit look downright economical.
Their site reads that within 48 hours a rep will reach out to you, so you may be a tad too late to order, however:
You've waited long enough for the iPhone 5, why should you have to wait in line too? A TaskRabbit will wait in line for you for up to four hours the morning of the release, Friday, September 21st. Then you'll swap places and buy your shiny new iPhone — it couldn't be easier.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 5 set a record with 2 million units sold in the first 24 hours.

Sunglasses Care
The best way to clean your sunglasses is by using a cleaner developed especially for eyewear lenses, along with a lens cleaning cloth, or a premoistened towelette. Improper care can damage sunglass lenses, resulting in scratches or haziness, which in turn may cause eyestrain. To avoid damage, do not clean your glasses with paper towels or clothing, which can grind dust and fibers into lenses leaving scratches. Avoid using household detergents or soaps. While a few mild soaps donnot harm lenses, today s extra strength soaps are powerful enough to slowly disintegrate lens coatings. Also avoid glass cleaners, which are highly corrosive and can damage your lenses quickly. They are not made for the nonglass lens materials used in sunglasses. While none of these products will do immediately apparent damage to your lenses, over time and with repetition the damage will become apparent.
Ordering of Goods
Generally, when a product is sold out, it is likely that we will receive another shipment.

TOKYO--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) today announced that Toshiba and SanDiskR (NASDAQ: SNDK) have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on the reallocation of wafer output and equipment ownership and funding at their two joint ventures producing NAND flash memory on 300 millimeter (mm) wafers at Toshiba's Yokkaichi Operations in Japan, in response to a proposal from SanDisk. The move is designed to enhance the production flexibility of NAND flash memory in line with the rapidly changing marketplace and to optimize each company's business strategies. The details will be set forth in definitive agreements.
Fab 3 and Fab 4 at Toshiba's Yokkaichi Operations are currently operated by Flash Partners, Ltd. and Flash Alliance, Ltd., the production joint ventures between Toshiba and SanDisk. Investment in the manufacturing equipment installed at the two fabs is equally shared by Toshiba and SanDisk through the JVs, with the same capacity allocated to each company. The revised allocation will make Toshiba the sole owner of some 30% of the total capacity. The remaining about 70% will still be owned by the JVs, and the production capacity allocated to the JVs will be divided equally between Toshiba and SanDisk. As a result, Toshiba's overall allocation of capacity in the two fabs will increase by about 30%. By expanding its production capacity efficiently, Toshiba aims to increase sales of NAND flash memories.
Toshiba believes that the NAND flash memory market will continue to grow in the medium to long term with average annual bit growth rate of more than 200%, supported by such established applications as cellular phones and digital camcorders, and by emerging applications such as solid state drives (SSDs) for notebook computers and servers. Sole ownership of some 30% of the total capacity of the two fabs will allow Toshiba to be even more flexible in making decisions on production volumes in line with changes in market demand. Acquisition of part of the existing production equipment in use will also allow Toshiba to quickly expand its manufacturing capabilities at a lower cost and with a shorter ramp-up time than by procuring new equipment.

Romney in Denver next week; GOP heavyweights backing him again
The last time he was in Colorado, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was casually rubbing elbows with business owners over chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant in Aurora.
Next week, though, lunch will cost $500 per plate when Romney appears at a major fundraiser in downtown Denver that will be attended by some of Colorado's top Republicans. The event takes place at noon on Sept. 9 at the Marriott City Center at 1701 California St.
His Colorado co-chairmen are former Gov. Bill Owens and former U.S. Sen. Hank Brown, and the honorary hosts for the event include former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton, Attorney General John Suthers, Secretary of State Scott Gessler, former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez, state Sen. Nancy Spence and Longmont Councilwoman Katie Witt.
The list doesn't end there, though. Romney's former business partner, David Roberts, of Morrison, is on the host committee as is Blair Richardson, managing partner of Bow River Capital Partners in
Denver and chairman of the Pinnacol Assurance board of directors.

Annular groove and lubrication holes
To facilitate efficient lubrication, all bearings in the NNU 49 series and bearings in the NN 30 series with a bore diameter d ≥ 140 mm, have an annular groove and three lubrication holes in the outer ring (fig.1, designation suffix W33).
Bearings without an annular groove and lubrication holes are typically lubricated either with the requisite minimum quantity of grease or with accurately metered, small quantities of oil or oil-air. In this case, the lubricant is delivered through a nozzle, positioned to the side of the bearing (fig.2, → product table).
If NN 30 series bearings with a bore diameter d ≤ 130 mm (table 1) require an annular groove and lubrication holes, check SKF for availability early in the design phase.

But upon her first scandalous encounter with the exotic Earl of Augustine-the American whom everyone is whispering about- Cecily is intrigued by the possibility of a more exciting life. If only she could contrive some way to marry the unconventional earl instead….
Around town he's known as Earl Savage. Although he inherited his title legitimately-and, with it, responsibility for his three half sisters-Augustine is half American and part Iroquois. He can't wait to settle his father's estate, marry his sisters off, and return to his native soil. Until charming Lady Cecily has him considering a prolonged stay in England…

Every day, we evaluate the people around us: It's one of the most important things we ever do. Making Sense of People provides the scientific frameworks and tools we need to improve our intuition, and assess people more consciously, systematically, and effectively.
Leading neuroscientist Samuel H. Barondes explains the research behind each standard personality category: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. He shows readers how to use these traits and assessments to do a better job of deciding who they'll enjoy spending time with, whom to trust, and whom to keep at a distance. Barondes explains:
What neuroscience and psychological research can tell us about how personality types develop and cohere.
The intertwined roles of genes, nurture, and education in personality development.
How to recognize troublesome personality patterns such as narcissism, sociopathy, and paranoia.
How much a child's behavior predicts their adult personality, and how personality stabilizes in young adulthood.
How to assess integrity, fairness, wisdom, and other traits related to morality.
What genetic testing may (or may not) teach us about personality in the future.
General strategies for getting along with people, with specific tactics for special circumstances.
Kirkus Reviews
A succinct look at personality psychology.
As a psychiatrist and neuroscientist at the University of California, Barondes (Molecules and Mental Illness, 2007, etc.) has spent years studying human behavior, and this book reflects his systematic, scientific approach for personality assessment. The average person isn't likely to have time to research a difficult boss or potential love interest, but the author supplements intuition with a useful cornerstone for gauging human behavior: a table of the "Big Five" personality traits, among them Extraversion vs. Introversion and Agreeableness vs. Antagonism. To learn how to apply the Big Five, Barondes supplies a link for a professional online personality test, in addition to a basic introduction of troubling personality patterns–e.g., narcissism and compulsiveness. While genetics may play a heavy hand in influencing personality, Barondes writes, it's awareness of a person's background, character and life story that is paramount in unearthing reasons for adult behavior. Readers might like to see the author weave more everyday examples into the text–his exercise in fostering compassion by imagining an adult as a 10-year-old child is a gem–but there is plenty here to ponder.
Those looking for traditional "self-help" advice won't find it here, but this book clearly lays the groundwork for deeper human interaction and better life relationships.

Ryan off to perfect start at plate for Mariners
OAKLAND -- As a guy who dueled with the Mendoza Line -- and lost -- last year, Brendan Ryan shouldn't be blamed if he smiles at the sight of a 1.000 batting average next to his name going into the second game of the year.
Ryan only had one hit in the opener, but it was a key single in the two-run rally that fueled the Mariners' 2-0 win over the A's. And he also walked twice, stole a base and scored a run. Not to mention a dazzling defensive play to stifle Oakland in the fourth inning and help preserve the shutout.
The defense? That comes with the territory from the 31-year-old veteran. But getting on base all three times?
"I'll take that the rest of the way," Ryan said with a grin.
Ryan hit .194 last season, but has been a much better hitter in his career and has worked hard to get back to using the whole field and doing the little things to help his team win. Which was exactly the case Monday when he blooped his single to right. Dustin Ackley aggressively hustled to third on the play, narrowly beating a throw from strong-armed Josh Reddick, as Ryan smartly scooted into second.
When leadoff hitter Franklin Gutierrez followed with a single up the middle, both runners scored for the only tallies of the night.
"That was a great read by Ack, a great time to be aggressive," Ryan said. "Obviously it worked out. That's something we want to do, be aggressive in the right times. Most of the times it'll work out for us, but we need to be able to live with it if it doesn't, because we're doing the right thing. It was just a good read by him and I tried to follow."
"Ack and I are trying to have some fun, score some runs and be a spark down there at the bottom of the lineup."

WILMINGTON - Winter is right around the corner in the Olympic Region - believe it or not - and the Whiteface Mountain Ski Center will be giving skiers and snowboarders something to look forward to in the form of a new expert glade trail.
The glade is the first new trail added to Whiteface in more than five years and will be open in time for the 2013-14 winter season, state Olympic Regional Development Authority officials recently announced.
"Adding this new double black diamond glade will give skiers not only another great trail, but for the first time they can go directly from lookout mountain to the summit lift," Whiteface General Manager Aaron Kellett told the News. He said that work has already begun on the trail.

Image — Whiteface Mountain Ski Center Facebook page
The highlighted area of this image shows the location of a new glade being cut at Whiteface Mountain Ski Center. The glade is located on Lookout Mountain. The trail to the right of it is Hoyt's High. The trail to the left of the glade is Lower Skyward.
The 680-vertical-foot expert glade, which hasn't been named yet, will begin halfway down the Hoyt's High trail, which is accessible via Lookout Mountain, and exit onto the Lower Skyward trail, near the base of the Summit Chair lift.
Naming contest
A contest is under way on the Whiteface Facebook page to name the new glade for Jay Rand, who served as general manager of Whiteface for 14 years until he stepped down in 2009 to become executive director of the New York Ski Educational Foundation.
More than 600 possible names had already been suggested as of Wednesday, including Jay's Lookout, Grand Rand and Rand's Resolve. The winner of the contest will be invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony and get first tracks down the glade on its opening day as well as lunch at the J. Lohr Wine Bar and Cafe at Whiteface.
To suggest a name, go to www.facebook.com/WhitefaceLakePlacid?rf=149086855121531.
Other improvements
Other mountain improvements this year include the addition of 35 low-energy snow guns for use on the Easy Street, Broadway and Excelsior trails. The mountain has also purchased an energy-efficient boom fan snow gun that will be used to cover the Lower Valley trail.
"Our overall goal is to always improve upon our guests' experience, while at the same time use less energy and be more efficient," Whiteface Kellett said in a release. "The purchasing of the 35 additional guns and the boom snow gun keeps us moving in that direction."
A new Pisten Bully 600 Winch Cat has also been added to Whiteface's fleet of cats and groomers.
The first day of the ski season at the mountain is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 29, weather permitting.
"We're pretty excited about this plan. It's the resort's first new trail since the opening of Lookout Mountain in 2008," ORDA President and CEO Ted Blazer said in a press release. "Last winter the mountain added snowmaking to Hoyt's High, and this will make another exciting addition that will enhance our guests' overall experience at the mountain."

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 48
This article appeared at Townhall.com on November 06, 2002
If you could conduct a survey of current and former federal employees, I'm certain you'd find that they agree on one thing: There is too much "deadwood" in the ranks of the federal employees.
President Bush tried to get rid of lazy, burned out, incompetent, uncaring or corrupt federal employees when he set about to establish a Homeland Security Department, but he met solid resistance from leftist union-loving Democrats who claim that if Bush can hire, fire or promote federal employees on merit alone, we'll be "headed back to the bad old days."
Most of us are realistic enough to realize that these are the bad old days.
So far, September 11, 2001, was the worst of the bad old days, and many mistakes leading up to that date were made by employees who were hired, and oftentimes promoted, for all the wrong reasons. But worse days are headed our way if the dire predictions of numerous intelligence experts are to be believed.
A combination of affirmative action programs, driven by hiring quotas, along with the installation of rigid, politically correct "management," guarantees mediocre federal employee performance. Moreover, these conditions are so well known that few are brave enough to argue against this claim.
They know all evidence points in the opposite direction, and yet, Democrats fight to protect the status quo. Why?
In times of peace, such a social experiment in our federal government - really a luxury - might be tolerable. In time of war, who can justify it? Would we use these same lax rules to staff our hospital operating rooms? Would we force commercial airlines to hire pilots because of the color of their skin, their national origin, their religion or their gender and ignore ability and skill in favor of some warm, fuzzy feeling brought about by hiring a favored minority applicant to meet a hiring quota?
When they failed to meet minimal expectations, would we find creative ways to keep them employed in order to avoid criticism or lawsuits?
Many statistics support my position. It was recently reported that while more than 80,000 federal employees were found to be performing at an unacceptable level, only a few hundred could actually be fired. When a career in the federal government can be as long as 40 years, one can readily see how "deadwood" accumulates.
In these dangerous days, too much "deadwood" can result in many dead citizens!
Those of us who have worked in the federal agencies can testify to the many high performing, outstanding minority employees who were hired because of their own accomplishments. To hire and keep less than qualified persons to meet a quota is not only dangerous and wasteful, but it's an insult to the minorities who have risen up through the ranks with ability and good old-fashioned hard work. I believe they would be the first to complain, if only they could! Everyone knows that whistleblowers are punished by their own agencies, so don't expect too many to come forward today.
Ironically, one recent example of political abuse was masterminded by Democrats Hillary Clinton, now a U.S. senator, and her husband, the president. They not only publicly humiliated and fired White House Travel manager Billy Dale - who had served many presidents - and his entire staff, but they called in the FBI and IRS to harass them!
Today there are many laws on the books that allow abused federal employees recourse through the civil courts. In aggravated cases, criminal laws can apply. To say there are not enough protections for federal employees is an outright lie. Not only are there enough protections, but there are also the media and whistleblower protection groups to call attention to abuse, if it's legitimate.
I would submit that instead of hobbling the entire executive branch with arcane and useless "protections" for do-nothing federal employees, Democrats might take a lesson from Republican leaders who know not only how to maintain high morale, but also how to generate hard work and loyalty from their staff.
It's widely reported that when Bill and Hillary Clinton finally left the White House, White House staff - who are among the federal employees that I'm talking about - cried with joy! That joy continued when George W. Bush and Laura, along with former President Bush and Barbara, walked back into the White House on January 20, 2001.
And as of today, Democrats are in charge of the U.S. Senate. They have formed a "blockade" to stop Bush from returning excellence to the federal ranks. Will that circumstance change tomorrow? Well, if the American voters know how their precious votes translate into a better quality of federal government employee, which in turn guarantees a safer nation because of better national security programs - then we should see a different political landscape tomorrow. If not, learn how to duck and cover!
I know that many federal workers visit the website where this article will be posted, so, tell me what you think. Do you think that my friends and I are correct in alleging that the federal workforce is riddled with incompetence and ought to be overhauled?
Or do you think the feds and their agencies are as good as they can ever be?
If you are a current or former federal employee, I would like you to send an e-mail telling me whether you think I'm right or wrong. Cite examples, and in a future column I'll give a report about what I've been told.
This is my prediction: If the Democrats maintain control of the U.S. Senate, get used to living in dangerous times.

Thanks for the Rep!
You SO nailed my argument in the "Father" thread. Good job!
Belated thanks for the rep. Have a great Christmas.
Life experience, I would say. Libertarianism sound really awesome as an ideology --if you don't examine the precepts very thoroughly. On paper, it sounds like life should just be as simple as "You work, you earn; you work more, you earn more. You should always be free to do these things." and then take this to the nth degree. Reality, unfortunately, is just a bit more complicated than this. You can't ignore the role that society plays on the individual, and I think it's really rather hard to maintain any form of libertarian philosophy after understanding this.
lmao, it's funny you repped that post that was 6 years old, given that 6 years later I'm a leftist, and I think that FDR was the closest thing we had to a decent president in the last 100 years. Although I'm still quite pissed at the whole Japanese concentration camps thing.
Wow, what happened to your ankle? I am sorry to hear it kid.
ty for the rep
Here's my quote as per the rep I left you...
[A]ccording to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal?

I tried it - my hair shined like a beacon and it is old hair!
I just bought the new formulation of your shampoo for dry and damaged hair. I had used this product in the past but didn't really like the way it made my hair feel. This new formulation is great and I will continue to buy it. The size of the bottles are quite good too – not too bulky to take with you if you're going away. Thank you!
I have always loved ecostore products, that's how I keep my clothes, dishes & surfaces clean! Imagine my surprise when I got an email offer for hair care products. I love my hair and I am VERY protective of it. The first time I used it I washed my hair (twice) and then conditioned and let it dry naturally – super soft and silky was the result, no fly-aways or frizz and it I actually went out Saturday night like that without styling it. It just looked naturally lovely. The next washes were similar, I washed twice and conditioned, but then I blow-dried and straighten it, the result was still the same, soft and very to manage and style for work and for the weekend. So, what are you waiting for?! Give it a go :)

Money talks, you-know-what walks.
President Obama will apparently prove that adage Wednesday. According to published reports, that's when the administration will extend federal benefits to partners of unmarried federal employees. Only problem with this basic "domestic partners" regulation on the federal level is the timing.
This move comes at the end of several-weeks of frustration with the president's perceived abandonment of thier community by gay advocates. Obama had promised to repeal "don't ask, don't tell," but has yet to tackle it. After the way gays-in-the-military tripped up Bill Clinton 16 years ago, gays might have been ready to let Obama take his time overturning that policy. That wasn't the case, however, with the administration's unexpected defense of, well, the Defense of Marriage Act. In a court brief last week, the administration lumped gay marriage with incest and pedophilia as the various unions that states should have the power to ban.
Following that, Obama's gay support began to show cracks: The head of the Human Rights Fund wrote the White House sharing the impact of the DOMA brief: "I cannot overstate the pain that we feel as human beings and as families when we read an argument, presented in federal court, implying that our own marriages have no more constitutional standing than incestuous ones."
While that organization was polite in demonstrating its disappointment, others preferred to go further and put their money where their mouths were -- or, more accurately, remove their money. In protest of the court brief, several gay fundraisers on Tuesday announced that they would boycott the Democratic National Committee's fundraiser next week.
And so, it is only after the boycott started to get some traction that the White started leaking Obama's on federal benefits.
Question is: Will that suffice to Obama's supporters -- gay and otherwise?
After all, it is, relatively speaking, very thin gruel: Ten or 15 years ago, this would have been seen as a dramatically bold step -- especially given what happened to Clinton with gays in the military. But since that time, many municipalities and -- even more significantly -- large companies across the country offer de facto domestic partnership recognition. Don't expect much of a public outcry over this presidential action.
But, more importantly, this doesn't look like a profile in courage for Obama to go do this -- only after fundraisers start to balk. And consider how weak this seems. When six states have actual gay marriage, and many others are fully engaged in the debate, the best the president can do is issue an executive order that puts the federal government on equal footing with more than half of the Fortune 500 companies? Unlike when President Truman de-segregated the Army (yes, an inexact comparison), the federal government is trailing the private sector. Indeed, Obama is even trailing his own secretary of state! (Hillary Clinton announced a few weeks ago that this would be the policy of the State Department).
But, once again, this executive order comes after this administration has submitted a court brief likening gay marriage to an incestuous relationship.
Would the president's supporters be wrong if they considered this a case of too little, too late?

Pharmacy giant Walgreens has launched the Walgreens Pharmacy Prescription Refill API that allows mobile developers to integrate Walgreens' prescription refill technology. As long as an app has scanning capabilities (or another way of getting the ID into the system), developers can integrate the refill API and users can refill a prescription that was originally filled at one of Walgreens 8,000+ pharmacies.
Walgreens Chief Technology Officer, Abhi Dhar, commented:
"People continue to become increasingly engaged with their mobile devices and use the technology to help make their day-to-day lives easier....By incorporating the Walgreens Prescription API, mobile app developers are providing users with an easy way to refill prescriptions and help them properly take their medication."
Studies suggest that a many hospital and nursing home admissions result from failure to adequately maintain a prescription regiment. Walgreens looks to lower such admissions through mobile app development. Walgreens has already partnered with leading healthcare app developers to test the API (i.e. Healthspek and PocketPharmacist). Healthspek President, Randy Farr, praised:
"We are excited about our relationship with Walgreens. Walgreens leadership position in technology and consumer empowerment fits perfectly with Healthspek's message to consumers 'Own Your Chart!'."
The API uses REST protocol and returns calls in a JSON data format. Developers can integrate order refill capabilities as well as reminder alerts. Users simply scan the barcode on the prescription, and the app orders the prescription refill. Interested developers can register for an account at the developer page.
As Walgreens' Abhi Dhar suggested, consumers have become more and more dependent on mobile devices for day to day living. If Walgreens can leverage such behavior to improve general wellness and lower hospital admission rates, it will drive positive change throughout the world. Walgreens currently sits as the largest Pharmacy in the US and should continue to encourage healthy living by promoting innovation in its industry.

Nearly 400,000 of you have joined us to demand the products you use are forest and tiger-friendly. We don't believe that the products we use every day should contribute to the destruction of precious habitat for animals. That's why we are pushing brands, like Head & Shoulders, to commit to forest protection.
So on this World Wildlife Day, let's remind these companies of some of the things we stand to lose if Indonesia's forests are not protected and if companies don't clean up their supply chains.
1. There are as few as 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
Dirty palm oil from forest destruction is destroying their homes. How much longer these guys have before they're gone forever?
2. Pygmy elephants in Borneo.
These little guys number as few as 1,500. Gentle natured and downright cute, these animals are losing their homes to deforestation.
3. Sumatran orangutans are critically endangered.
Don't you think they're worth protecting too?
4. Indonesia contains up to 15% of all known species of plants, mammals and birds that make up the world's biodiversity.
5. Indonesia's forests are disappearing at a rate of 9 Olympic swimming pools per minute.
Take action to save their homes!
Last week revealed that the maker of Head & Shoulders, Procter & Gamble, was buying palm oil from companies trashing Indonesia's rainforests. Since we revealed the findings from our year-long investigation, P&G has tried pretend there's nothing wrong, claiming to be committed to "sustainable palm oil". But the scheme it relies on does not work.
This photo was taken less than a week ago. It doesn't look very sustainable to us.
Your voice is powerful.
While P&G might be burying its head in the sand, other companies like Nestlé, Unilever, Ferrero and L'Oréal are committing to No Deforestation. Just late last week, a big Indonesian palm oil producer called Golden Agri Resources committed to strengthening the forest conservation policy you helped them commit to in 2011. It now applies across all its suppliers and for all the palm oil they buy and trade. It's just one more sign that the palm oil industry is in transformation. Forests don't need to be destroyed for palm oil.
Tell P&G, the maker of Head & Shoulders, to clean up their act: commit to forest protection now.

The Colorado Springs Gazette newsroom creates a reality cartoon
I happened across a Tweet from reporter Jeremy P. Meyer about the Colorado Springs Gazette starting their own reality cartoon. Turns out, they felt left out because they were too large for NBC's casting call for a newsroom for a reality show, so Editorial Page Editor Wayne Laugesen decided to make his own — in animation form.
There's some instances that speak to every newsroom. For example, this: "Angelo shot a wild boar down in Texas. It's out on the food trough."
Find a link to the first episode, where Wayne proposes forming a Gazette glee club, after the jump.

Hail Mazers of Beesource!
This thread is a request that I think will help all of us improve our knowledge of mead. For some reason many mazers just starting out seem reluctant to post in the forum, and prefer to private-message questions and ideas to individual members. Which is fine to an extent. But if we consider that having a dialogue in the general forum allows all of us to share in the discussion, where everyone can learn, I'd like to ask that when possible people post to the forum. Questions about vinegar-making (apart from with mead as a base), homebrewing, home sodamaking, and the like are welcome and encouraged, but are more appropriate for the Coffee Klatch forum.
Please help spread the wealth of knowledge around. Don't be shy! Beesource is the great resource it is because there are lots of people with lots of skills, experience and ideas to share, so don't limit yourself to one opinion when you can just as easily have several thousand to draw from.

Prom dresses: How to beat the high cost
It's been a while since I was surprised at what was being charged for just about any fashion item. Designer prices have escalated despite the challenging economy and people are spending lavishly on a variety of trendy items. But when Visa released its recent survey saying what the average family was spending on prom — $1,078 — even I was shocked.
It seems the desire to wear a chic dress and accessories, rent a limo, eat a fancy dinner, go to the dance and after-party and all the other things that go along with a high school prom have risen. To be fair, the poll commissioned by Visa asked people what they planned to spend, so they may end up spending less. And in our informal online poll this week, almost half of the 2,000 Denver Post readers responding say they're spending $300 or less, and another 20 percent will shell out between $300-$600.
Still, this is an expensive evening. Here are some ideas on how to save money and still look great.
Shop at big stores rather than the pricier, independent boutiques. J.C. Penney has a line of colorful dresses that range from $40-$90. Sure, you're more likely to run into the problem of another girl wearing the same dress if you go this route, but the way you accessorize the look – from jewelry to belts, scarves to shoes – can give it your individual stamp. David's Bridal has gowns that start at under $100 for prom, and some of the looks in its Vera Wang bridesmaid collection could work for prom, too.
Scope out the sale rack and off-price stores. Evening wear and special occasion clothes are often heavily discounted by retailers and you can find designer looks at a fraction of the original selling price.
Check out thrift stores, consignment shops and vintage boutiques. It's a treasure hunt, but you'll more likely score an affordable one-of-a-kind dress in these stores than at a traditional retailer.
Hold a swap. Get some friends together and swap dresses from previous seasons. Go beyond your immediate circle so the dresses aren't so familiar to the group and invite older sisters and their friends. Make it a party; have refreshments; and make sure you have changing rooms. Donate what's left over to charity.
Make or remake a dress. If you have sewing skills, you can whip up a dress at a big savings over what you'd pay at the mall. You might also be able to take a dress that's already in your big sister's closet and re-fashion it for prom. First, narrow down the style you're interested in by looking at magazines or photos and then let your imagination run.
Shop at an exchange. It's late for this season, but next year, keep an eye out for sales hosted by such groups as the non-profit Prom Dress Exchange Corp. They collect thousands of gently used dresses along with a selection of menswear and host an annual one-day event early in the spring (this year it was March 3) where students with a valid ID need only make a $10 donation to get a dress. They also recruit volunteer seamstresses to do on-site alterations. facebook.com/PromDressExchange

In 1900, 75 percent of urban Americans lived in rented apartments or flats. In contrast, last year homeownership in the U.S. reached a record high of 68 percent.1
Owning your own home - it's a cornerstone of the American Dream and there are many different jobs that all play a part in making it a reality for hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.
Although household growth may slow slightly over the coming decade, the demand for residential construction is expected to continue to grow. The demand for larger homes with more amenities, as well as for second homes, will continue to rise.
Employment in special trades contracting, the largest segment of the industry, should grow at about the same rate as the entire construction industry. Demand for special trades subcontractors in building and heavy construction is rising, and, at the same time, more workers will be needed to repair and remodel existing homes.
