T his is serious.The current energy situation is a lot more serious than a matter of turning off lights and putting up a clothesline, and a lot more serious than the city's shortening library hours and shutting down an escalator.
The brutal fact is that Alaska Electric Light & Power Co.'s fuel bill is everyone's fuel bill. When those bills hit our mailboxes next month, life in Juneau is going to change dramatically; few people here can afford a fivefold increase in their utility bill without drastically curtailing almost all of their other spending: That will hit every business in town except those that rely exclusively on tourism.
The lights in our houses aren't what are causing those diesels and turbines to spin and we need to do something about the things that are: large-scale heating, lighting, and refrigeration loads. Juneau is a relatively crime free community and the days are getting longer, so we can turn off all the streetlights and parking lot lights.
We can first ask and if necessary demand that all outdoor decorative and advertising lights be turned off. We can first ask and if necessary demand that large stores reduce their operating hours; life went on quite well in this country when stores weren't open 24/7. Coolers not necessary for the safety of products, e.g. soft drinks, beer, and wine, can be shut down; chill your own or drink warm beer, the Brits live on it. Shelf stocking can be done during business hours so that the lights can be off when the store is closed. I drove home from a class downtown Wednesday night and the lights were still on in many of the large office buildings downtown. That may make custodial work easier and may even make sense as a part of the heating load in normal times, but these are not normal times. Custodial work can be rescheduled and the heat is a lot cheaper from oil alone, if it is indeed necessary overnight at all.
A huge percentage of the workforce here works 8 a.m. to 4:30 or 5 p.m., so every light and appliance in town comes on between 5:30 or 6 a.m., causing those generators to all spin up. We can ask and if necessary demand that businesses and offices stagger their working hours to reduce the instant loads. And maybe work appearances can become a little less fashionable; a half hour a day with a 1500 watt hair dryer is going to cost you about $40 a month.
Even though school is almost over, some staggering of school hours might well be considered. Little sports activity this time of year is on lighted fields, but where possible, the start times should be shuffled so that the lights can remain off. Unless you live aboard, boats in the water don't need engine or cabin heat and the water heater(s) and refrigerator(s) can be turned off. Hot tubs are really nice, but mine is off now and will stay off until this is over.
I'm as much into individual rights and choices as the next guy, but this isn't an individual issue. Every gallon of fuel that you cause to be burned, I have to pay for too. AEL&P can get a rate increase, but few of the rest of us can get a wage increase to cover this. Because of my work, I have a pretty good handle on what people here make; utility bills are going to wipe out the discretionary spending of all but the most well off and place the less well off in dire economic straits. I can afford a $3-500 electric bill, but the money I spend on electricity won't be spent on clothes, home improvements, meals, entertainment, boat gas, or anything else that is discretionary. Every business in town is going to feel that fact and it will result in reduced earnings or even layoffs of people much less able to afford their electric bills. We're all in this together, and small individual measures won't do.

To show appreciation for the toops, EKSuccess Brands is teaming up with Operation Christmas Cards to send holiday cards to troops deployed overseas.
Operation Christmas Cards began in September 2009 at Liberty church in Shrewsbury, MA. Its mission is to "love our troops one card at a time," ensuring that service members know they are appreciated, supported and loved by the people they are sacrificing their lives to fight for.
According to statistics, the cards will be the only correspondence half of the troops will receive over the Christmas season. This statistic became an important incentive for EKSuccess Brands to offer to boost card collection by 25,000 cards through a multi-level approach that includes online instruction, partnerships with retailers, class opportunities, and community and marketing initiatives. The Operation Christmas Cards organization, which sends cards to bases in Afghanistan, Japan, Iraq, Egypt and Germany, has a goal to send 175,000 cards for the 2011 season. The EKSuccess Brands' education program, Spotted Canary School will also provide participating Spotted Canary School independent retailers with card-making classes featuring K&Company and Sticko brand products.
To get involved, register for classes both in-store and online at www.spottedcanaryschool.com/classes and send holiday cards with encouraging and supportive messages by November 11th to EKSuccess Brands, C/O Operation Christmas Cards, 100 Delawanna Ave. Suite 700, Clifton, NJ, 07014. Please do not seal the envelopes, or put individual postage on them. Anyone wishing to contribute monetarily or for any cards sent after November 11th should coordinate directly through Operation Christmas Cards at www.operationchristmascards.org.

text: NACS / Media / NACS Daily NYC Restaurant Owners Voice Opposition to Foam Foodservice Ban Concerned restaurateurs and citizens fill City Hall to object to a proposal that they maintain would raise costs and increase waste. November 26, 2013 Page ContentNEW YORK — New York City restaurant owners, business leaders, and local residents voiced their strong opposition yesterday at City Hall against a bill that seeks to ban the sale of polystyrene foam foodservice products. The Bloomberg Administration introduced the bill earlier this year, which has since faced objections from the American Chemistry Council, businesses, unions, community leaders and taxpayers. "This bill will have serious implications not only for New York City small businesses, but upstate New York manufacturers," said Mike Durant, New York State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business. "Product bans imposed absent solid scientific backing like this are threatening the viability of small businesses within the City and across New York. The very fact that New York City is looking to threaten thousands of jobs and small businesses is alarming." Business owners complained about the potential for increased costs if the Council proceeds with the ban. "Polystyrene foam is the best option for my business because it keeps my food fresh and at the same time, it allows me to charge a fair price," said Jimmy Moncion, owner of Nelson Paella Restaurant in Brooklyn. "The cheapest alternative is much more expensive than polystyrene foam — plus, they don't work as well for my customers. If this ban goes through, it will mean cutting workers so that I can keep my doors open." According to a recent study, for every $1.00 now spent on polystyrene foam products, businesses would have to spend nearly $2.00 on the alternatives, which often do not insulate food as well as foam. A ban on polystyrene would impact upstate manufacturing companies, increase costs for restaurants and foodservice establishments, and ultimately impact the consumer, said Assembly Leader Brian Kolb. "I have continued to urge Mayor Bloomberg to consider alternative measures, including instituting a recycling program to help preserve jobs in our communities and rein in the cost of doing business."

LARGO — New teachers in Pinellas County could become the highest paid in the Tampa Bay area under a tentative agreement reached late Tuesday that bumps their starting salaries to $40,000.
All of the school district's 7,800 teachers would receive a raise, which works out to 5.6 percent on average.
The Pinellas teachers union accepted the terms after a three-hour meeting with the school district's negotiating team. The raises are expected to take effect soon and would be retroactive to July 1, pending ratification by union members and School Board approval.
The Hillsborough County school system was tops in the region last year, paying its new teachers $37,569 a year, compared with $37,000 a year in Pinellas, $36,420 a year in Pasco County and $35,000 in Hernando County. For the 2013-14 school year, Pasco has a tentative agreement to pay new teachers $37,000. Hillsborough and Hernando are still negotiating raises.
Pinellas School Board Chairwoman Carol Cook said she hoped the change in starting pay would draw the "best and brightest" to the district. "I'm thrilled that we've been able to do that," she said.
Kim Black, president of the teachers union, called the agreement a "fair settlement."
Pinellas received about $18 million from the state this year to pay for teacher raises, as part of a $480 million effort by Gov. Rick Scott to provide a $2,500 across-the-board pay bump to Florida's classroom teachers. The money was subject to local bargaining, so each district has come up with its own plan.
Under the tentative agreement in Pinellas, a first-year teacher earning $37,000 would get a $3,000 raise. A teacher with 10 years' experience would get a $1,688 bump, while a teacher with 20 years' would get a $3,280 increase. Those numbers don't factor in advanced degrees.
Bruce Proud, the union's executive director, said negotiators set out to provide teachers with more money earlier in their careers. It took a teacher 10 years to reach $40,000 under the old salary schedule. Under the new one, new teachers can earn $42,000 by their 12th year of teaching instead of their 16th.
Proud acknowledged that the change could cause resentment among teachers who already have invested 10 years in Pinellas.
Teachers nearing the 10-year mark also won't see as much benefit. Teachers entering their eighth year, for instance, would get a $1,260 raise to $40,360. Teachers entering their ninth year, would get a $1,321 raise to $40,723.
Left unresolved was the issue of pay for teachers who work in some after-school programs. The district offered to bump their pay to $20 an hour, up from the current $15 an hour. Black wanted them to be paid their regular hourly rate.
She said the district's proposal for after-school teachers would be a "double slap" to some of the teachers getting the smallest raises this year. The two sides will continue to negotiate the point.
Cook said the district had to consider how it will be affected by state-mandated performance pay in the 2014-15 school year. Some teachers will be eligible for extra money under that system, and the district has to be able to pay for it, she said.
The tentative agreement also includes a 6.47 percent increase in health insurance costs. The district's health care provider originally asked for a 22 percent increase.
In addition, teachers would be paid $20 an hour, instead of $10, to participate in professional development. Trainers would be paid $20 an hour instead of $13.

Please say a prayer for the families who will be suffering. Had Romney won, many of these companies would now be hiring. Teco Coal officials announce layoffs Momentive Inc plans temporary layoffs […]
Mitt Romney wasn't a bad candidate. He ran a fairly strong race. He made a few errors. And he made many good moves.
Certainly he was adequate. And he was probably the strongest Republican candidate among the primary field of contenders. That is, he was the best man available to run against Barack Obama.
And he did a pretty good job.
Obama, on the other hand, was a horrible candidate. He was mean and vindictive. He was contemptuous and superficial. He ran on irrelevancies like abortion and a fictitious Republican war against women. He didn't give his supporters any reason to feel good about themselves.
Instead, he used class warfare to stir them to hatred of their countrymen.
Yet Obama won. And Romney lost.
In retrospect it is possible that the race was over before it began. A strong case can be made that Obama secured his reelection in 2009 when he bailed out the US auto industry and so temporarily stanched the hemorrhage of jobs in Ohio and Michigan. And maybe, with the youth of the 1960s now the Medicare recipients of the 2010s and '20s, there are simply too many Americans dependent on government handouts to care about what happens in the future.
http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/333049 Next to the American people themselves, Israel is no doubt the biggest immediate loser in the U.S. presidential election. President Obama's foreign policy is predicated on the false notion that the U.S. and Israel themselves are the principal causes of the Islamic world's antipathy toward them. Consequently, Obama has cultivated the anti-American, genocidally anti-Jewish […]
I went to a meeting Wednesday of Jewish grandees. I was horrified to hear them blame Prime Minister Netanayhu for the total collapse of Amerca/Israel relations.
Long before Netanyahu was Prime Minister, President Obama embraced the anti Israel and pro Arab Moslem agenda of his radical friends- Edward Said, Rashid Khalidi, Rev. Wright and a host of other radical friends and cohorts.
In 2003 when Obama dined and wined with Said and Kahlidi, his anti Israel bias was already ingrained and the Prime Minister was Ariel Sharon. The fact is that Mr. Obama does not like Israel regardless of who would be Prime Minister, and, as evidenced by the loud booing at Israel during the Democratic Convention, neither does the party.

What Have They Done to James Bond?
'Skyfall' gives us a kinder, gentler 007. Please, don't shake or stir his beer.
James Bond, of all people, has turned metrosexual. "Skyfall," the 23rd movie in the genre—directed by Sam Mendes and opening in theaters Friday—has somehow turned the all-encompassing man's man into a kinder, gentler Bond.
There are still the casual killings and car chases, of course, but Bond has been shorn of that subtly menacing blend of sadism and political incorrectness that set him apart from Jason Bourne, Ethan Hunt and all the other identikit espionage heroes. By making Bond less personally dangerous, and even hinting at a bisexual past, the guardians of his brand are undermining precisely what has made that brand so special. This is all the more astonishing since the first 22 Bond films cost $1.55 billion to make but made $10.41 billion at the box office.

FRAIZER Campbell insists Sunderland's hopes of a top 10 finish remain alive despite their failure to beat three of the bottom six.
The Black Cats head to Craven Cottage on Sunday a point adrift of 10th-placed West Brom and four shy of ninth-placed Fulham.
Successive draws against Wolves, Aston Villa and Bolton have hampered Sunderland's hopes of a second successive finish in the top half of the Premier League table.
And with Fulham suffering just four home defeats all season and Sunderland facing title-challenging Manchester United on the final day of the season, Martin O'Neill's men may come to regret their inability to take maximum points from last month's meetings with the top flight's strugglers.
But Campbell, expected to continue on the right-hand side of midfield on Sunday, says the top 10 remains a realistic goal, even though Fulham's win at Liverpool on Tuesday night gave has given Martin Jol's men some breathing space from the bottom half.
Campbell told the Echo: "To be fair, I think we've played well in the last couple of games, but a few mistakes have cost us.
"I don't think the chance has gone to get a top 10 place because it's still very tight.
"One win gets you right up there, particularly if results go for you.
"Fulham will be on a high after getting a 1-0 win at Liverpool the other night.
"We always knew it would be difficult going down there with their home record, but now it is doubly so.
"It will be tough for us, but we want to finish the season well."
Campbell is one of a five-man former Manchester United contingent who will inevitably come under scrutiny next week before the title race concludes.
However, the 24-year-old has shrugged off the focus which will come on him, along with John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Phil Bardsley and Kieran Richardson, prior to the final day.
"We could still be going for eighth by then and they will be hoping the title has not been decided," added Campbell.
"They might have to score a few against us too, if goal difference comes into it.
"There's a lot of ex-Man U players here and I'm sure a lot will be made of that.
"But we're at Sunderland now, so that doesn't come into it."

Five Burning Fantasy Baseball Draft Questions: Starting PitchingFebruary 11, 2009
1. Who should be the first player off the board?
Many players have started to make this closer than it used to be, but the answer to this question has been the same for years now, Johan Santana. All Mets' fans were incredibly frustrated with their bullpen, but no one had more of a beef than Santana. Seven times he left and was in line for a win and the pen blew it. At 2.53, he had his best ERA since 2004, and won 15 plus games and broke 200 plus strikeouts for the fifth straight season.
Not only is Santana the best pitcher on the planet, but he is also incredibly durable, an attribute that every fantasy player craves from their pitching staff. Santana has made at least 33 starts and pitched over 200 innings in every season since 2004 when he was made a full-time starter.
Brandon Webb is a great choice, but doesn't get the strikeouts that Santana does. Many people are considering Tim Lincecum the best pitcher this season, but he plays for an awful team and also doesn't have the track record that Santana does. He looks to be the "next big thing" but I'd rather take the guy who has done it for four years instead of just one great season. Santana dominates every pitching category (except for saves, obviously) and is the only pitcher worthy of a first round selection.
2. Whose statistics will start to drop off?
Before last season's "breakout" at age 31, A.J. Burnett had never won more than 12 games in a season, he had only made 30 or more starts twice in a ten year career, and was a whole three games over .500. You can't deny that he is a strikeout artist, but between his injury history and his so-so record, I wouldn't look for more than 13 wins out of Burnett, with 175 Ks and close to a 4.00 ERA. That is, if he can stay healthy. He will most likely be drafted by an overzealous Yankee fan far before I would be ready to pick him.
Following a season where he was sent back to AAA, Ervin Santana had a huge 2008 for the Angels. Throughout his career, Santana was unable to pitch well on the road. Well, in 2008 he was 11-2 on the road and only a .500 pitcher at home. He tied his career high for wins, lowered his career best ERA by nearly a run, and struck out people at an incredible rate.
Given that these factors are so far away from his norm, I just can't believe that he will be able to replicate them. How does a guy go from a 7-14 with a near 6.00 ERA to a 16-7 record with a 3.50 ERA and 214 strikeouts? Expect more of a 14-10 record with a 4.10 ERA and around 165 Ks.
A reliever for the previous four seasons, Ryan Dempster enjoyed great success on his return to the starter's role. Although he had some pretty good years as a starter for the Marlins in the early 2000s, few could have predicted the 17-6 record with a sub-3.00 ERA and nearly 200 strikeouts.
Is it possible that a guy can have close to a 5.00 ERA as a closer, and below 3.00 as a starter? Dempster has always had a pretty solid strikeout rate, so even if his other stats suffer, he still should help you in one category. If he wins more than 13 games I would be surprised, and you should expect a 3.75 ERA as well.
3. Who can be called a "value pick?"
Since a rough rookie campaign, James Shields has become a consistent option. In the last two seasons, Shields has averaged 13 wins, 172 strikeouts, and around a 3.72 ERA. He also goes deep into games as evidenced by his three complete games last season and 215 innings pitched in each of the last two years. He doesn't allow many walks at all (just 40 in 215 IP in '08), so his WHIP is also helpful. He won't go among the top 10 or 15 starters, but perhaps he should.
He might not be the most exciting pitcher, but damn it, Mark Buehrle takes the ball every five days and you can take that to the bank. For eight seasons the guy has thrown over 200 innings and won at least ten games. At a position that is the hardest to predict due to inconsistency and injury, Buehrle is a rare breed. He doesn't get a ton of strikeouts and his ERA fluctuates greatly, but you can always do much worse than Buehrle. Another season of 13-11, 3.79 ERA, and 145 Ks is within reach.
Another work horse, Ted Lilly has started 30 or more games in five of the last six seasons, and has won 15 or more games in the last three. Lilly is always in the neighborhood of a strikeout an inning, and his ERA is usually around the high 3.00s or no higher than 4.30. The Cubs should win the NL Central again, which should keep Lilly in the 15 win range in 2009. I am projecting a 16-9 record with a 3.81 ERA and 170 strikeouts.
4. Which young gun is ready to take the next step?
Yovani Gallardo was most likely in this same spot last year, just waiting to break out. Unfortunately, a knee injury cost him almost the entire season after just three starts. I would be much more concerned about his ability to return from such an injury, but the guy came back in the last week of the season and threw a gem over four innings, and then pitched for the Brewers in the NLDS.
He has nasty stuff, gets great strikeouts (110 in 77 IP in 2007 at AAA), and plays for a team that could contend for a division title. From the lower levels of the minors, all the way through AAA his ERA never even touched 3.00 (except injury rehab), and if he falls a little bit in your draft, don't hesitate to grab him. People might be scared by the injury, but he already showed that he was back from it last October.
Even though the guy threw a one hitter last season, I don't think people are on board with Matt Garza just yet. You have to remember that guys like Tim Lincecum and Cole Hamels are the exception. Most young pitchers struggle right out of the gate, and it is hard to say that Garza struggled too much, as his ERA in the last two seasons have been 3.69 and 3.70.
But the guy threw two shutouts last year, got playoff and World Series experience, and is still just 25 years old. His strikeout numbers might not wow people, but if you look at his minor league stats, there is reason to believe that his "K" numbers should be on the upswing in the near future. The guy has "ace stuff" and could realize that potential fully in 2009.
Although the Reds thought they would get plenty out of top prospect Homer Bailey and new acquisition Edinson Volquez, the contributions that they got from young Johnny Cueto were a surprise. Sure, Cueto threw out some horrible efforts, but in 14 of his 31 starts he gave up two earned runs or less. He is only 23 years old and this was his first major league experience.
The fact that he was able to complete a full season of 31 starts is also impressive, and his minor league statistics suggest that his strikeout numbers are for real. His ERA on the farm was never over 3.50 which means there is room for improvement there as well. He should be better than .500 this year, with a 13-9 record with a 4.10 ERA, and 180 Ks.
5. Can Rich Harden stay healthy and be your ace?
Let me start by saying that if Rich Harden does stay healthy, he has the stuff to be a definite number one pitcher for your fantasy team. Even in his finest season, which 2008 may have been, he still missed some time. Harden was only able to make 25 starts, but boy were they awesome. He was 10-2 with a miniscule 2.08 ERA and an eyepopping 181 Ks in just 148 innings.
In 14 different starts, Harden struck out eight batters or more, and in 22 of his 25 starts he allowed two earned runs or less, including a streak of nine consecutive starts. Now that the lovefest is over, let's take a look at the rest of the package that you get if you draft Harden. He has made over 20 starts in just two of his five seasons, and twice has made less than ten.
He is already having some issues with his shoulder and is no guarantee to start the season healthy. He has perhaps the best "stuff" in all of baseball, but it is his inability to stay on the mound that scares some fantasy players away. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to draft him among the top ten pitchers, and truth be told, it would have to be very, very late in drafts before I would think of taking a guy with such a serious injury risk.

Sodium Rhythms In The Body Revealed By Space-Simulation Study
Maintaining the right sodium levels in the body is crucial for controlling blood pressure and ensuring proper muscle function. Conventional wisdom has suggested that constant sodium levels are achieved through the balance of sodium intake and urinary excretion, but a new study in humans published by Cell Press in the journal Cell Metabolism reveals that sodium levels actually fluctuate rhythmically over the course of weeks, independent of salt intake. This one-of-a-kind study, which examined cosmonauts participating in space-flight simulation studies, challenges widely accepted assumptions that sodium levels are maintained within very narrow limits.
"The study highlights the importance of measuring salt excretion in urine over a longer time period to accurately estimate salt intake," says senior study author Jens Titze of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. "This information is very important, given the emphasis on salt intake in terms of risk for cardiovascular disease and healthcare outcomes."
Past studies in humans have shown that when dietary salt intake increases, a steady state of sodium levels in the body is achieved through rapid urinary excretion. This process is under the control of a hormone called aldosterone, which causes sodium to be retained in the kidneys. However, most of these studies were short-term and did not examine fluctuations in sodium levels in response to constant salt intake.
To address these limitations, Titze and his team took advantage of a unique opportunity to control salt intake and study salt balance over the course of nearly seven months in 12 male participants in the Mars105 and Mars520 studies. These men spent 105 and 520 days, respectively, in an enclosed habitat consisting of hermetically sealed interconnecting modules at a spaceship simulation facility in Moscow, where they lived and worked as if they were cosmonauts at the international space station. As expected, their aldosterone levels increased when they consumed less salt. But surprisingly, a decrease in salt intake led to a reduction in levels of the "stress hormone" cortisol.
When the researchers kept salt intake constant, sodium excretion and the levels of aldosterone and cortisol fluctuated together in weekly cycles. On the other hand, sodium levels in the body exhibited longer-term rhythmic changes that were independent of salt intake. Over this longer timescale, elevated sodium levels were associated with high aldosterone levels and low cortisol levels, suggesting that the two hormones work in opposite ways to control sodium storage and release.
"To the best of our knowledge, the long-term rhythm we observed in sodium levels in the body has not been previously reported, and it was not known that cortisol and aldosterone work in opposite directions to regulate sodium metabolism," Titze says.
Rakova et al.: "Long-term space-flight simulation reveals infradian rhythmicity in human Na+ balance."

Good morning! It should remain cloudy today in the Capital Region, with scattered showers. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in Albany, and will hold a cabinet meeting this morning. Here are today's headlines…
Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent a letter offering Sen. Roy McDonald a "full endorsement" if he decides to move forward with a third-party candidacy.

So you want to be a managing director in an investment bank? You might not want to work in compliance or in technology.
We looked at the CVs uploaded to the eFinancialCareers CV database over the past year, and at the percentage of them containing the words "managing director" or "MD" for different levels of experience. The results are shown in the table below.
If you want to become a managing director (MD) in an investment bank and to earn the big pay associated with that big job title, our data suggests you ought to be working in either M&A or capital markets. In these sectors, 20%+ of the people in our database with more than 15 years' experience are MDs. This compares to just 5% of our very experienced technologists and just 6% of our very experienced compliance professionals.
For all the publicity surrounding people who make MD young, our data suggests you have next to no chance of reaching the rank before you're much beyond 36. – And still very little chance of reaching it when you're older than 36. If you do get promoted within 5-7 years of joining, however, you're most likely to be in trading or research.
The data also confirms that you've got far more chance of making MD when you're in a revenue generating role. – It's not just technology and compliance professionals who don't get promoted: the odds aren't that high in operations and risk either. This may be changing, however: 32% of Goldman Sachs' 2015 MD list was comprised of people from its 'federation' (infrastructure jobs). Curiously, it also seems that you have slightly more chance of making MD in compliance when you have 5-7 years' experience than when you have 5-10 years', suggesting banks might be promoting new joiners more quickly.

Voters To Consider Multi-Generational Pool
A rendering of the potential multi-generational pool. Courtesy Image
By KIRSTEN LASKEY
Los Alamos Daily Post
Los Alamos Daily Post
A multi-generational pool at the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center is one of the projects included in the Los Alamos recreation bond. If voters pass the bond, the pool would offer features for infants to senior citizens to enjoy.
While all the features are conceptual at this point, Community Services Director Brian Brogan said typical characteristics for these pools include zero depth entry, water slides and lazy rivers. Also, water temperatures would run higher than in a conventional pool, around 83-84 degrees.
The total probable cost for construction of the multi-generational pool is $8,684,000. The total annual probable cost for operations at the new pool is $426,000. The money for the project would come from a $20 million general obligation bond that voters will decide whether or not to approve in May.
The special election will be mail-in ballots that will be mailed out on May 2 and the County Clerk must receive them by 7 p.m. May 23. If voters approve the bond, Council anticipates utilizing up to $13.4 million of Capital Improvement Project funds in order to supplement the bond proceeds toward the construction of the five recreational improvements.
The other projects include a recreation center, softball field improvements, a splash pad and improvements to the golf course.
The multi-generational pool is not a new concept; Los Alamos has tossed the idea around for years.
Public Works Director Philo Shelton said more than 20 years ago, $140,00 in donations were raised for a kiddie pool. That money has sat in the bank, waiting for the project to reach fruition. "It's one of those projects that have been on the books a long time," Shelton said.
Originally when the Larry R. Walkup Aquatic Center was built, Aquatic Center Subcommittee Member Shelby Redondo said, it was going to have a leisure pool but the County decided to cut it to save money. Instead, the therapy pool was constructed, she said.
In 2011, voters were asked in a special mail-in election whether or not a leisure pool should be added to the center but it was voted down.
The problem is the current large pool is designed for competitive team swimming, Redondo said; it's depth and water temperature are perfect for it; in fact, the Japanese Olympic swim team once used the aquatic center for high-altitude training. However, the pool is not really designed for very young or first-time swimmers, Redondo said. As a result, she said toddler-aged swimmers are taken to the therapy pool where a table is rigged in the water to help them out.
"It's inappropriate using the therapy pool to teach swimming," Redondo said.
Plus, it seems a growing number of children do not know how to swim, which can lead to safety concerns if they ever go into the water, she said. Also, learning to swim can inspire a life-long love.
"I just wish our community would support it. It's so important; it's a life long health commitment. Once you learn to swim and you enjoy it, it's a life-long love," she said.
The multi-generational pool is also a way to keep people and their money in town.
"A lot of families, young families, they want their kids to have a fun experience swimming so they go to Santa Fe (to the Genoveva Chavez Community Center). So we're not keeping our income in town," Redondo said.
If the new pool were built, she pointed out, it would also attract outside communities such as the Pueblos or Valley residents to come up to Los Alamos. Plus, if Los Alamos is hosting other sporting events, athletes and their families may be looking for other things to do in town and a multi-generational pool would be a good option for them, Redondo said.
"I think by having the multi-generational pool, it will actually increase revenue," she said.
The aquatic center already has a healthy draw. According to Brogan, last year, the number of people entering the center totaled 159,440. Of this total, 80,018 were swimmers, 5,190 were individuals registered for swimming lessons or private lessons and 74,232 came as spectators or to register for an event or do rentals at the counter.

Hornets-Nuggets Preview
The Denver Nuggets haven't put together full 48-minute efforts lately, but they keep finding ways to come out on top. A visit by the lowly New Orleans Hornets could help them continue their winning ways.
Denver will try to match a season high with a fourth consecutive victory Sunday night when the Hornets look to snap their six-game losing streak.
After rallying from 14 down at halftime for a 101-94 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday, the Nuggets (7-6) outscored Golden State by 17 in the final 24 minutes of Friday's 102-91 win.
"We've been doing good adjusting out of halftime. The only negative is we can't let ourselves get down,'' said Andre Iguodala, who finished with a season-best 29 points and six rebounds. "We've got to be ready to start off well, take leads in the first half and try to put them away with those big runs in the third quarter.''
The Hornets (3-8) had one of those on Friday - a 16-6 stretch to open the season half behind four 3-pointers from Ryan Anderson - but they let a 19-point third-quarter lead slip away in a 111-108 overtime loss at Phoenix. New Orleans, which opened its four-game trip Wednesday with a 115-107 double-overtime defeat to Indiana, have lost by eight or fewer four times during its skid.
"We have a lot of games like this,'' Anderson said after setting a career high with 34 points and matching one with eight 3s. "We've just had a lot of games come down to the stretch.''
Anderson is expected to make a fourth consecutive start in place of No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis, who has been out with a ankle injury.
Anderson had 11 rebounds on Friday, but without Davis and forward Jason Smith, who is questionable after suffering a corneal abrasion on Friday, the Hornets could have major problems on the glass.
Led by Kenneth Faried (149 rebounds) and Iguodala (86), the Nuggets are grabbing a league-best 48.5 rebounds per game. Denver is also first with 16.2 per game on the offensive end, contributing to its NBA-high average of 19.7 second-chance points.
The Hornets can't afford to give the Nuggets any more chances, as their defense has been awful during their skid, giving up 109.2 points per game and 77 3s in 171 attempts (45.0 percent).
Denver's perimeter defense hasn't been overly impressive this season, and the team has allowed 23 3s during its winning streak. However, the Nuggets are giving up just 92.3 points per game during this stretch.
Coach George Karl gives point guard Ty Lawson plenty of credit for that. Lawson had 18 points and nine assists on Friday while holding Warriors leading scorer Stephen Curry to a season-low six points.
"Ty's pressure in the last couple of games has been getting better," said Karl, whose team plays eight of nine on the road following Sunday's game. "He's understanding he can be a pest on that end of the court."
That could be helpful against Hornets point guard Greivis Vasquez, who set career highs with 25 points and 14 assists on Friday. Vasquez averaged 8.5 points and 6.5 assists as these teams split four games in 2011-12.
Denver's 110-97 victory March 9 helped it avoid a third straight home loss to New Orleans.
The Hornets' last 0-7 stretch was an eight-game slide from Jan. 29-Feb. 10.

Seattle Mariners' Luke French Survives Mediocre DebutAugust 6, 2009
Thankfully for Luke French, the Mariners offense came to play, and he was facing Kansas City, a team with one of the worst offenses in the majors, or his debut could have been a disaster. French left the ball high in the zone all night, leading to a grip of hard hit balls and deep fly balls.
The first time through the line up French was successful at keeping KC hitters off balance by complimenting his fastball with an above average change-up. His lack of a solid out pitch caused him to repeatedly get worked deep into counts, and made it difficult for him to retire hitters after their initial plate appearances.
Although French's numbers, four earned runs over five innings and one walk, could be shrugged off as a mediocre performance, French was lucky to be facing a team ranked 28th in hits and 26th in home runs, or his numbers would have been ugly.
French was only able to record one out in the third inning before blowing his two run lead from the top of the inning, by allowing Billy Butler to crush a belt-high fastball over the left field fence.
Seattle responded by putting up six runs on six hits in the top of the fourth, which made the second two-run blast, courtesy of Alex Gordon on another belt-high platter ball, a bit less painful.
French made it out of this game alive.
Bottom line, the Mariners won.
But he's got some work to do.
If he is going to have success against better teams, he is going to need to keep the ball lower than he did tonight.
If the Mariners expect French to throw deeper into the game than the fifth inning, which he accomplished once so far this year, in July against KC, they're going to have to help him develop and control his mediocre slider.
His change-up gives him the potential to be a good starter, but he needs one more pitch that will allow him to mix it up a bit more after hitters have seen him once.

The very first Chevy Camaro television commercial can still be seen on YouTube. It features a white Camaro RS/SS with the distinct bumble-bee nose band emerging from a volcano. The voice over happily presents "The intense brand-new Camaro from Chevrolet … something you have actually never seen before."
While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger cars they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, advertising and marketing group prepared the world for the introduction of an automobile they called the Panther.
All through the summer of 1965 virtually every aspect of the vehicle's design and development, from initial design sketches to clay designs, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy used the assets to develop a 30 -minute motion picture The Camaro for sale in Hopewell VA , which was later on shown on TV and in cinema. They likewise presented females's clothes called the Camaro Collection and even a Camaro roadway race game.
Classic Camaros- Buy Them Here
In November, Chevy sales executives and imaginative individuals previewed prototype models at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's age-old advertising agency, instantly started deal with brochures, direct-mail advertising and sales promotion materials, in addition to print, outside and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New york city Auto Program Interview, Chevrolet sales executives confessed no name had been selected for the new vehicle, but did reveal that rates of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Hopewell VA design will be in the Corvair-Chevy II variety.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive connotations of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac version, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its brief lifetime, the F-car had been called by lots of names including Wildcat, Chaparral, Leader and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy thought about using the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which progressed into GeMini and lastly Gemini. However, GM's upper management banned the concept, fearing the vehicle might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet lastly proposed the name Camaro and upper management quickly agreed. Although the name has no real meaning, GM scientists reportedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." It's rumored that Ford Motor Business scientists likewise found other meanings, consisting of "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Due to the fact that a number or pre-launch products had actually currently been launched utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's many pressing obstacle was to now rename their new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Hopewell VA by looking for classic car dealers.

As a girl equally happy eating at Tao Las Vegas or from the sushi stand at HEB, I fell in love with Koi before I ever stepped foot inside. I'm not a sushi connoisseur or snob, just a girl who grew up with the most underdeveloped palate in the world (This fact is unverified by any authority outside of my family).
If it wasn't bread, cheese, or fried chicken, I refused to eat it. That is, until I tried sushi.
So why do I love Koi? Aside from the meticulously decorated interior that feels both elaborate and simple at the same time, a creative menu, and long list of saketinis, I love Koi because unlike many local restaurants that settle for being the best of Southeast Texas, Koi's selections would make it competition for restaurants in Houston, Dallas and beyond.
If you're going to try out Koi with a drink in hand, I recommend arriving during happy hour or after the dinner rush clears out.
Happy hours run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. weekdays with both sushi and drink specials. Saketinis are $5 during these two hours, and I highly recommend trying more than one. Sake is, by nature, lower alcohol than liquor, so the drinks tend to be weaker than your average martini, though infinitely tastier.
Happy hour is also the perfect time to sample the menu and people-watch. Out on the patio, you can see the dinner customers arrive as you sip your saketini. Chances are, someone you know will be walking up — I seem to run into a friend every time I visit Koi.
The second best time to go to Koi is after dark, since this place is open until 2 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Quiet dinners turn into boisterous affairs as the music rises and bottles of wine empty.
Late dinners are best with a group of your friends, so long as you don't mind speaking a bit louder than normal. If you have a view to the sushi bar, you might just see people get up to dance in the empty space beside them.
Whether you're in the market for a classy night out on the town, a quiet happy hour conversation, or a late-night sushi party, take yourself over to Koi and see for yourself how Koi redefined sushi in Southeast Texas.
Happy Hour
$5 Saketini/well drinks/bombs/house wine/Crown Royal drinks
$1 off Beer ($2.50 domestic/$3.50 imported)
$2 piece Nigiri
$3 Edamame
$5 Cali Roll and $1 off a regular Makimono

It's a sad day for NSW regional dining, with the owners of Cowra landmark Neila announcing the restaurant's closure. Anna and Jerry Wong have put the 14-year-old restaurant on the market and are moving to Sydney for their son's schooling.
"We're opening one more night to honour our vouchers," says Anna, "but we've got the restaurant up for sale and it's ready for somebody to take up and open instantly."
Anna's honest, benchmark-setting food and dedication to the region made Neila a dining destination, attracting patrons from across the nation.
The good news? You'll still be able to get a taste of her cooking through Neila's popular condiments range, which she and Jerry will continue to produce in full force.
"We're keeping the farm, we're keeping our label and our range," says Anna. "We won't be doing the restaurant side of it any more, but we're still growing the produce."
And will we find her getting back behind the pans in Sydney?
"Who knows?" she says. "We'll see how it goes from here".

Siena announced today that former basketball player Billy Harrell, whose No. 10 was the first retired by the school, died this morning. He was 85.
Here's the college's news release:
Billy Harrell '52, perhaps the most transformative student athlete in Siena College history, died peacefully Tuesday morning. He was 86.
Harrell was the first person to have his Siena jersey retired when his No. 10 was unfurled from the rafters at Times Union Center on Friday, January 13 2006. On March 8 of this year, Harrell was one of 20 inductees into the MAAC Basketball Hall of Fame Honor Roll.
Harrell played for Siena from 1949 to 1952, and during that time, the Saints (known as the "Indians" back then) compiled a gaudy 70-19 record. Harrell was the leading scorer, averaging 9.7 points per game, and top rebounder with 12.1 boards per game, for Siena's 1949-50 team that compiled a 27-5 record and won the National Catholic Invitational Tournament title.
Harrell averaged 14.6 points per game for the 1951-52 team which went 24-6. He is still in the record books, tied for No. 2 for Siena's top single season rebounders with his 12.1 average in 1949-50 – a record that stood for 60 years. Known as the "Flash," he earned UPI Honorable Mention All-America honors in 1952. Harrell then went on to play four seasons of major league baseball, three with the Cleveland Indians (1955, 1957-58) and one with the Boston Red Sox (1961). Harrell was the third person inducted into Siena's Athletics Hall of Fame in 1966.

Orioles Lock Up MarkakisJanuary 19, 2009
A day after trading former can't-miss prospect Garrett Olsen to the Cubs, the Baltimore have locked up can't-miss superstar Nick Markakis to a long term deal, putting aside arbitration talks.
The Orioles and outfielder Nick Markakis agreed to a six-year, $66 million extension, pending a physical, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Markakis, 25, hit .306 last season for Baltimore, leading the team. He has hit at least 20 home runs in two of his three seasons and has a .299 career average in 465 games with Baltimore.
Link: ESPN
The extension is a move in the right direction for the Orioles under the direction of President Andy MacPhail, who has received heat during his tenure with the club.
With the departures of Erik Bedard and B.J. Ryan, the Orioles made a commitment to rebuilding the once proud franchise. Although the process is long from over, signing Markakis to a long-term deal can let the fans of Baltimore to rest easy over the right fielder.
Along with the addition of former Cub prospect Felix Pie, the Orioles' have plenty of youth in the outfield with Markakis, Pie and Adam Jones. The club now has lots of speed and pace in the outfield, but the growth of all three are at different stages.
While Markakis is the face of the franchise at just 25, Adam Jones will be 23 in 2009, and is not as far behind as you would think. He hit .270 last summer in 477 at bats and as a full-time starter again this year, he should grow nicely for the O's.
Pie, on the other hand, is a different story. Once coined as the next big thing in Chicago, his play has been mediocre at best in the big leagues, although his play in the Pacific Coast League is all-world. If he can piece his game together and fix the loops in his swing, Baltimore could have the best young outfield in the majors, but give it time as that is a big "if" and an even bigger "could."
For now, having Markakis as a corner stone in the franchise is a key piece to the resurrection of the Orioles.

TAMPA, Fla. Cory Sarich flicked the bouncing puck into the neutral zone, hoping to keep it away from the Montreal Canadiens. He wound up giving the Tampa Bay Lightning a whole lot more.
Vincent Lecavalier caught up to the pass at the blue line, swooped in on Canadiens goalie Jose Theodore and scored his second goal Sunday, virtually assuring the top-seeded Lightning would go up 2-0 in their Eastern Conference semifinal playoff series.
''I didn't know Vinny was there,'' Sarich said. ''I knew they had three guys coming up, so I was just getting it out there.''
Nikolai Khabibulin stopped 26 shots to improve to 6-1 in the playoffs, and Lecavalier scored twice for the second straight game as the Lightning won 3-1 and put the Canadiens into a deep hole for the second series in a row
Game 3 is Tuesday night in Montreal.
Flyers 2, Maple Leafs 1
PHILADELPHIA Robert Esche stole another game for the Philadelphia Flyers.
Esche made 26 saves and Alexei Zhamnov scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period, helping Philadelphia take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Game 3 is Wednesday night in Toronto.
The Flyers have never lost a best-of-seven series in which they won the first two games, going 16-0.
Despite getting captain Mats Sundin back, the Leafs couldn't generate much offense, getting their only goal from enforcer Tie Domi.
Flyers tough guy Donald Brashear also scored.
Zhamnov put the Flyers ahead 2-1 with a power-play goal with 11:35 remaining. His shot from the side of the net trickled between goaltender Eddie Belfour's legs.
Belfour stopped 22 shots.

The magic of Andalusia is crystallized in Federico Garcia Lorca's first major work, Poem of the Deep Song, written in 1921 when the poet was twenty-three years old, and published a decade later. In this group of poems, based on saetas, soleares, and siguiriyas, Lorca captures the passionate flamenco cosmos of Andalusia's Gypsies, ""those mysterious wandering folk who gave deep song its definitive form."
Cante jondo, deep song, comes from a musical tradition that developed among peoples who fled into the mountains in the 15th century to escape the Spanish Inquisition. With roots in Arabic instruments, Sephardic ritual, Byzantine liturgy, native folk songs, and, above all, the rhythms of Gypsy life, deep song is characterized by intense and profound emotion.
Fearing that the priceless heritage of deep song might vanish from Spain, Lorca, along with Manuel de Falla and other young artists, hoped to preserve "the artistic treasure of an entire race." In Poem of the Deep Song, the poet's own lyric genius gives cante jondo a special kind of immortality.
"Lorca was a minstrel, and he understood poetry as an oral expression. . . . In Poem of the Deep Song, Lorca did not try to imitate the lyrics or music of cante jondo, but he did, I think, rely on its compás in order to craft poems that would enact the experience of the solitary anguish that is cante jondo." —Ralph Angel, Words Without Borders
"[Garcia Lorca's] real impact, however, surely comes from the stark vividness of his imagery, his ability to conjure up primal subjective realms of love and death: The guitar makes dreams weep. The sobbing of lost souls escapes through its round mouth. And like the tarantula it spins a large star to trap the sighs floating in its black, wooden water tank." — David H. Rosenthal, New York Times
Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) was a poet, playwright, and theater director. He was well-known as a member of the Generation of '27 who introduced symbolism, futurism, and surrealism to Spanish literature. City Lights Publishers also published another book of poetry by Federico García Lorca titled Ode to Walt Whitman.
Carlos Baur is the translator of García Lorca's The Public and Play Without a Title: Two Posthumous Plays, and of Cries from a Wounded Madrid: Poetry of the Spanish Civil War. He has also translated the work of Henry Miller and other contemporary American writers into Spanish.

Author has written 15 stories for Dark Angel, Sailor Moon, Law and Order: SVU, Nikki and Nora, and D.E.B.S..
Twelve years on, and I'm still registered here. I think that says something.
From late 2000 through to mid-2007, I used the pen-name Ayrki on various forums, websites, mailing lists, and blog-sites. After this point -and a couple of additional months, I then settled upon a new name: Tristian Makhai. So, if you see this name here, or on any of the particular stories (or even off-site), it's still me. After 2007/2008, Life took over and proceeded to kick my ass pretty liberally with family drama, heartbreak, and completely losing my way with words. Oh, and that whole working thing. As of the end of 2012, I am still refusing to think the words have given up on me, so while it's been a few years, don't count me out yet.
Only a fraction of my work is showcased here, namely my earliest works as updated at the time, with most others being posted solely to mailing lists, forums, or communities at the time of their publishing due simply to the fact I wasn't keen on reformatting everything to post here again. And I tended to forget to post them. Mostly, I just forgot, and then became too intimidated by the notion of uploading 10 plus years of scribbling.

Key dates
Proposal Submission Deadline: Sunday, 27th May 2007
Speaker Notification: Friday, 15th June 2007
Papers/Slides for Proceedings Deadline: Sunday, 22nd July 2007
The theme for this year's conference is "Social Perl", which we hope will inspire submissions for this and related topics. If Perl has helped you or your company to get people together, or if you can report how Perl is "social" to other programming languages, or how Perl may profit from inspirations from other languages, we'd like to hear about it. Although this is our main topic for the conference, it will not be the only one, and as such we will also be accepting talks on just about any theme.
How to submit proposals
Please submit your proposals at the conference web site no later than midnight GMT on Sunday, 27th May 2007.
Each submission should be for one talk only, and include:
- a brief bio
- the talk title
- the proposed length for the talk
- a brief description of the talk.
An outline of the main points can also be helpful, and is required for tutorial proposals.
All accepted speakers, except lightning talk only speakers, will have their registration fee waived.
Type of talks
We will be offering a number of time-slots for talks:
- Standard: 20 minutes (the preferred format)
- Long: 40 minutes
- Tutorial: 60-90 minutes
- Hack-a-thon / BOF / Workshop: 3 hours
The preferred format is a 20 minute talk. It is expected that the majority of talks will be of this length.
Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a double-slot may be available. However you should also consider splitting it into two standard talks (perhaps an introduction and a more advanced talk).
Tutorials are available for beginner and introductory style presentations.
The three-hour slots are intended for a group of people who want to discuss a topic in depth, or even hack on some code. This events will take place in a fully equipped computer lab.
Conference organisers reserve the right to change the length assigned to a talk, if deemed appropriate.

For the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, whose lands straddle the North and South Dakota border, river water means drinking supplies. For Illinois farmers, it's irrigation for their crops, according to Bloomberg.
Rivers also power hydroelectric plants, provide recreation for boaters and give coal companies inexpensive access to export markets with barges to New Orleans.
Balancing these competing demands on the nation's water resources has never been easy. Global warming, linked to near-record low water levels on the Mississippi River this year as well as last year's severe floods along the Missouri River, is making the task even harder.
"You end up pitting one constituency against another, and then you mud-wrestle over the right balance," said Ben Grumbles, president of the Washington-based environmental group U.S. Water Alliance.
It may also mean more disputes such as the one that erupted in recent weeks in the Midwest. Shippers and political leaders from along the Mississippi River's midsection asked the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to adjust its dams so more Missouri River water would flow into the drought-shrunken Mississippi, keeping barges moving on the nation's busiest waterway. States along the upper Missouri opposed that and the Army Corps refused. Read more.

With two games to go in the first week of the NFL season we have had three kick return touchdowns. The rule change moving kickoffs to the 35-yard line certainly created many more touchbacks with the intention of eliminating kickoff returns and the potential for injury on the high speed collision plays but all three return touchdowns were taken out of the end zone. Last season there were 23 kickoff return touchdowns but only seven came from out of the end zone for more than 100 yard returns. The unintended consequence of the new rule may actually create more of the epic end zone to end zone plays as coverage teams may anticipate touchbacks more frequently and there will be more room to maneuver on the plays when the kick returner takes the ball out of the end zone. It may have been a fluke result in week 1 and there may be adjustments to be made as teams become accustomed to the changes but more exciting kick return touchdowns is certainly not a bad thing from an entertainment standpoint.
The increase in touchbacks was expected to decrease scoring with teams forced to go longer distances on average but it also takes less time off the clock. The week 1 results produced an overwhelming run on the 'over' with 10 of the first 14 games playing 'over' the total. Three of the four 'under' games stayed below the closing number by less than four points and 30 points was the lowest score of any of the 14 games in the grind between Tennessee and Jacksonville. Only three teams failed to score double-digit points and surprisingly they were all division winners from last season. The most points were scored by the Super Bowl champion Packers but the biggest margin of victory belonged to the Buffalo Bills. Another surprise of the opening week was that in eight of 13 games where it applied, the team that had the worse record in 2010 won in the opening week. On the early week lines, betting on the team that had the worse 2010 record would have left you with an 10-2-1 ATS record (Pittsburgh & Baltimore was the only match-up of teams that had the same 2010 record).
New head coaches also struggled with only Jim Harbaugh winning in a debut game on Sunday as the first year leaders went 1-5 S/U in six tries. On Monday night Denver and Oakland will give another mark in each column for the first year coaches with their new teams, though John Fox is a re-tread in Denver and several of the coaches did have interim games on their resume. Rookie QBs had a good showing with Andy Dalton playing well before leaving the game with an injury and Cincinnati was a winner. Cam Newton also impressed in a loss against Arizona as that game pushed on the spread. Veterans on new teams were less impressive with Kerry Collins, Donavan McNabb, Tarvaris Jackson, and Matt Hasselbeck all posting very poor games statistically and all being on the losing end of the final scoreboard. The lockout and the limited time to prepare with their new teams certainly makes sense as a compelling reason for the rough early transitions.
After one week there is no reason to overreact however. Last year Atlanta lost its opener but went 13-3. The Eagles lost but still won the NFC East and the Jets also started 0-1 before an AFC championship game run. Seven teams that went 8-8 or worse last season won in the opening week. The Titans, Giants, Seahawks, Redskins, and Texans had arguably the most impressive week 1 wins in 2010 and only Seattle at 7-9 made the postseason
The college schedule was without any huge national title implication games but there was certainly some excitement and the Notre Dame/Michigan finish will go down as one of the all-time greats. Alabama's title hopes stayed on course passing an early season test at Penn State and the SEC featured two incredibly entertaining games as Auburn held off Mississippi State and South Carolina narrowly beat Georgia. There is a huge game this Saturday between Oklahoma and Florida State this week that will create waves at the top of the polls and couple of other top ten teams face games where there could be an upset risk, notably LSU, Stanford, Wisconsin, Boise State and Nebraska. It does not have the allure it had last season but Ohio State and Miami will face off in a primetime non-conference game and there will certainly be plenty of awkward things to talk about. On to this week's slate….

The Baltimore Orioles are desperate for a quality start, but recent history suggests theyâll be hard-pressed to get one Sunday when they host the Cleveland Indians in the finale of their four-game series. Left-hander Brian Matusz has lost four straight outings and has an 8.31 ERA during that span. He will try to pick up the Orioles, who have lost eight of their last 11 games and have seen their starters roughed up in five straight contests.
The Indians, who are 2½ games behind the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central following their 11-5 victory Saturday, have won two of the first three games against the Orioles. Shin-Soo Choo is 8-for-13 with two homers, six RBIs and seven runs scored in the series, including 4-for-5 with four runs and three RBIs on Saturday. Cleveland, which has 35 hits in its last two games, sends Justin Masterson to the mound. He has a 1.55 ERA in his last four starts, but only a 2-2 record to show for it.

– James Herenj speaks of hurdles in implementing rural job schemes in a rebel-hit district
ARTI S.SAHULIYAR-Tribal rights crusader James Herenj, who is associated with MGNREGS Sahayata Kendra in Latehar's Manika block, recently had his tryst with television when he appeared as a special guest in Season 2 of Aamir Khan-hosted Satyamev Jayate on March 23.
The episode, Sachha Loktantra Kisko Kahenge, saw discussions on various aspects of Indian democracy, including state employment schemes, RTI provisions, social audit and self-governance. Guests from various backgrounds and age groups shared their opinions on the issues.
Shyama Singh, also associated with the MGNREGS centre, appeared on the show with Herenj. Speaking to The Telegraph, Herenj said: "We were invited as special guests on show and during our interaction with Khan saab, we apprised him of our daily struggles for the implementation of MGNREGS in Naxalite-affected Latehar district."
On being asked how they got the opportunity to appear on the much-coveted programme, Herenj said that it all started when the show's research team visited Manika block in January.
"The team captured videos of our work under MGNREGS. These were shown to Aamir Khan and we were invited on his recommendation," he added.
Shyama Singh said that during the episode, they told Aamir and the audience how the benefits of government schemes did not reach most villages. "We also shared our achievements. We motivated residents of Swadih village in Manika block to construct roads without any help from contractors," she said.
The duo recalled interesting behind-the-scenes conversations with Aamir and other special guests on the show.
"A day before this episode was telecast, Aamir Khan asked us why we did this work. We replied, 'Aamirji, someone has to come forward and become the tribals' voice. In places like Latehar, villagers suffer in silence owing to fear. We decided to come forward and implement schemes like MGNREGS so that they can earn a livelihood," he said.
Both Herenj and Singh went on to say that even after six years of MGNREGS implementation in Jharkhand, people were unaware of their rights under the Act.
"We are struggling to ensure timely payment of wages to NREGA workers and making efforts to employ as many people as possible," said Herenj.
He added that in Manika block alone, there were around 22, 000 MGNREGS workers. Of these, only 50 per cent were currently employed. "We're trying our best to streamline this scheme. Now we have another problem. Due to forthcoming Lok Sabha elections, our people are again out of work," he said.

Re: Time to be ruthless! added photos
Tara, I love that you are documenting your process!I can't wait to see updates as you go along. All in all, I think your house doesn't look overcome with stuff, but I understand (all to well
the desire to minimize! Just some ideas from looking at your photos.
In general, I have discovered that clean surfaces and bare (or minimally decorated) walls help create the illusion of simplicity and calm my spirit. So even if you don't have time to get to every nook and cranny, tote and shelf, it can give you a place to start and motivate you to keep going as time allows. I ended up taking most of our family photos off the wall and most pictures/decor too. I realized I had become blind to them and wasn't enjoying them anymore - they were just another thing to dust. You might consider that. Although you don't have a lot of things on the walls, having a number of small things spread out all over can be visually distracting. Maybe you could make a grouping of all the items or you favorites on one wall. Keeping things like ledges, table tops, window sills, and the tops of cupboards clear goes a long way. How important to you are the plants, little framed items, candlesticks etc?
Living Room:
Your curtains all seem to be tucked up. Is this to keep little ones out of them? Could you just take them down? It looks like you have a beautiful wooded lot outside, why not enjoy the view : ) I like the toy storage with the open bins on the bottom! Can you pare down toys so that they will all fit there? I don't see many in other places, but (just a thought here) what if you were able to purge toys and books to the point that you no longer needed the small shelf in the living room? I agree with the pp that organizing the items on the big bookshelves will help. I'd take down the license plate.
Dining Room:
This room is already pretty simplistic. I love the hardwood floor. I'd remove the picture from the wall and the items from the top of the cupboard. I'd keep the globe, if this is your homeschool area. As time allows you can get to the hidden problem areas : )
I agree with pp about the dish drainer. Can it go? Do you need both tables? Imagine your kitchen with that open space... what could you make there? a small sewing nook just for mama maybe? Then could you create a library space in the dining room with all the shelves in a central location? I agree that the open shelves by the sink are a little visually distracting. I LOVE that big bay window, my mom had one when I was growing up. I remember that the window ledge was often a parking ground for stuff though... I guess I had this compulsion to minimize as a child too : )
Anyway those are just some thoughts. Can't wait to see what you decide to do! You can do it!
