Biometric screening company CLEAR will soon have a growing presence at United Airlines hubs, after the Chicago-based carrier announced an equity investment in the company. As part of the new partnership, some flyers may qualify for free or discounted memberships based on their United MileagePlus Premier status.
United Airlines flyers will soon have a new way to bypass long lines at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints, thanks to their latest investment. In a press release, the Chicago-based carrier announced a "strategic equity investment" in CLEAR, the biometric screening company that allows members to skip security lines at airports and sporting events.
Under the new agreement, CLEAR will open lanes at all six domestic United hubs. While CLEAR is already active at United's hub airports in Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), the company will open lanes in the future at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).
CLEAR is also extending discounted membership offers to United MileagePlus members. Elite members at the Global Services and Premier 1K levels will receive a complimentary membership, while all other Premier elite members and United co-branded credit card holders can get their membership for $109 per year. All other MileagePlus members can get a CLEAR membership for $119 per year, reflecting a discount of $60.
On the FlyerTalk forums, top-tier United MileagePlus elites were quick to enroll for CLEAR service for free. Overall, flyers had positive reactions toward how the expansion could affect their wait times at the airport.
"It seems like all airports I fly to from DEN [Denver International Airport] never have CLEAR, so that is a bummer," FlyerTalker pseudoswede writes on the forums. "But CLEAR at DEN is very useful. I am looking forward to avoiding the masses of humanity at MCO [Orlando International Airport] just after New Year's."
"I had not rejoined [CLEAR] so far because, at the airports I usually fly out of, PreCheck is fine, and CLEAR would be only a tiny increment faster," writes United Premier 1K member Artpen100. "But it is a nice perk added when [United] seems more often to be taking them away."
"It's not uncommon to have long [TSA PreCheck] line-ups," at San Francisco International Airport, notes FlyerTalker Kacee. "With CLEAR I don't hesitate to lounge hop across terminals at SFO, because I'm through security in just a minute or two."
What's your opinion of the partnership between CLEAR and United Airlines? Make your thoughts heard on the FlyerTalk forums!

Coming Up at The Forum
Thursday, September 12, 2019
The Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forums
The Measles Outbreak: Why Vaccines Matter
Presented jointly with PRI's The World & WGBH
Live webcast will stream on Thursday, September 12, 2019
Noon-1pm ET
An on-demand video will be posted.
Questions for the panelists: firstname.lastname@example.com
The U.S. officially eliminated measles nearly 20 years ago. Yet, this year, more than 1,100 cases have been reported, despite being preventable by vaccine. The CDC says the majority of cases are among those who were not vaccinated.
This Forum will look at the drivers of the 2019 outbreaks and, more generally, the challenges of vaccine acceptance. Why do some parents delay or decline vaccinating their children? How might their concerns be addressed? What about exemptions? Why does the global picture matter? And what can be done once an outbreak begins? New polling data will frame this discussion, providing a uniquely current picture of vaccine acceptance in the U.S.

In Jan. 2019 the EAT-Lancet Commission report published the world's first global reference diet, designed to guide food systems towards healthier and more environmentally sustainable consumption patterns. The report aimed to help guide public policy and private sector activity towards reduced intake of red meat and other potentially harmful foods in higher-income countries, and also increased intake of fruits and vegetables, leguminous grains and other potentially beneficial foods.
A new study published in November 2019 uses data on food prices, nutrient composition and human requirements to compare the cost of meeting EAT-Lancet targets to the cost of nutrient adequacy, and compares those diet costs to household income and expenditure in every country of the world. This webinar will discuss implications of that study for food systems research, food policy and the agriculture, nutrition and health agenda of ANH Academy members.

Wow – I can't believe the summer is almost over and the football season is here. For the past few years I have thought about having a weekly football pool and this year we are glad to say we are doing it!
It will be VERY easy to participate and here are the rules:
- Every Monday (unless it is a holiday then it will be Tuesday) we will post a link to the weekly pool.
- All you need to do is click on who you think the winner is
- We are just picking winners the point spread means NOTHING in this pool
- Every week we will have a winner, the winner will be the person who has the most correct games.
- If there is a tie, the tiebreaker will be the total points of the Monday night game
- If there is still a tie there will be multiple winners
- All picks need to be in by Friday at 5:00 CST UNLESS there is a Thursday night game and then the picks need to be in by Thursday night by 5:00CST.
The weekly prize will depend on how many people participate in the pool. If there is more than 100, the winner will get a $75 American Express gift certificate. If there is less, the winner will get a $50 American Express gift certificate.
There is a bonus as well!
The pool will go on like this for 16 weeks. For week 17 only the winners of the prior 16 weeks can participate for the grand prize which will be a $400 American Express gift certificate. If a person wins multiple weeks in the first 16 weeks they can have multiple entries in week 17.
I will be playing as well but CANNOT win the pool. I hope everyone will enjoy the football pool and I can't wait to see who wins the first prize and has bragging rights until next year!
Good luck to all and click here to let the games begin!

How one man's pledge on paper has helped fill Newcastle Art Gallery with generosity
AT face value, it is just a sheet of paper with some writing scrawled on it.
Yet it is the first two words that hold the true value of this piece of paper: "My Pledge".
Those words were written by renowned sports and entertainment manager and art lover James Erskine.
When he scribbled on the paper, Erskine was in the Newcastle Art Gallery, with a crowd sitting before him. He was the guest speaker at a gallery foundation function. The Sydney-based businessman was talking about the joys of being a benefactor.
Yet more than speaking about it, Erskine gave a demonstration of benefaction that night in August 2017.
He gifted a John Olsen painting, Excitable Tree, to the gallery. Having already electrified the room with his gift, he wanted to raise the mood even more. Erskine came up with the idea of a pledge from him – and a challenge for the gallery.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment thing," recalls Erskine. "It was unplanned."
While sitting with the gallery director Lauretta Morton, James Erskine took a piece of paper and began writing. He quickly noted the three terms of the pledge: He and his wife Jacqui would give contemporary Australian artworks from their collection, up to the value of $250,000; that gift had to be matched by the gallery and its supporters, and; a time limit was set. The gallery had six months, until the end of February, to reach the target.
Then he signed the paper and handed it to Lauretta Morton.
"Because he'd just unveiled such a remarkable gift with the John Olsen work, I couldn't quite believe it, to be honest," she recalls.
"I actually did pick up the [paper] and say to him, 'Are you serious?'. I remember saying that to him.
"And he said, 'Yes, yes, let's give them another push, something for the gallery, let's get them excited'. And it certainly did.
"I did have a giggle and say, 'You realise this is a contract. You've put that in writing!'."
Those words on a page have led to the gallery's latest exhibition, The Erskine Pledge: a gift to Newcastle.
The exhibition, which opens Saturday, unveils 12 major works donated by James and Jacqui Erskine, and, in response to the pledge, a stainless steel sculpture gifted by the gallery's foundation, with help from the gallery's society and private donors, and 36 pieces of art that have been given by local art collectors.
And all of this from a piece of paper.
"That's the thing that kicked everything off," says Lauretta Morton says.
WHAT makes the Erskine pledge so remarkable is that this is not some generous act of giving back to the hometown. He is not a Novocastrian.
But James Erskine knows what it's like to grow up in an industrial area and having a passion for art.
"I come from the north-west of England," he explains.
Erskine grew up in Southport, just up the road from Liverpool. In his home region were two signposts to his future life.
One was the Royal Birkdale golf course, where young James loved to play a round (he would later manage famous golfers, such as Tiger Woods and Greg Norman, and he worked with, and became good friends with, Newcastle's Jack Newton).
The other was a local art gallery owned by a mate's father. The gallery represented L.S. Lowry, a 20th century artist acclaimed for depicting English industrial life in spare but evocative paintings.
For his 21st birthday, Erskine was offered a Mini Minor as a present from his grandfather. Erskine asked that instead of the car, could he be given a Lowry painting. After he moved to Australia in 1979, Erskine converted that painting into real estate: "It bought me a house in Vaucluse."
In Australia, Erskine was at the forefront of sports marketing, with IMG (International Management Group), before he co-founded SEL (Sports & Entertainment Limited) in 1997. Erskine has managed and guided sports and artistic icons, from Muhammad Ali and Shane Warne to TV host Sir Michael Parkinson.
Erskine has maintained a love of art, collecting works created by not just the biggest names in Australia, but international figures, such as Frank Auerbach.
Sometimes, business and art pleasure have combined. Through Michael Parkinson, he met Lloyd Rees, one of Australia's great landscape artists and whose work is in the Erskines' collection.
And pleasure has morphed into business for Erskine. He established Liverpool Street Gallery in Sydney, and he has a ceramics gallery in London.
Yet for his own collection, James Erskine says he never looks at art with an eye for investment.
"I've never bought a painting to make money, I've bought it because I like it," he explains.
It was business, not art, that usually brought James Erskine to Newcastle. For large-scale productions he was involved in, such as Jesus Christ Superstar, he would often bring them first to Newcastle.
"Newcastle was our trial; if it worked in Newcastle, it worked everywhere else," Erskine says. "It's a no-nonsense group of people, and they like value for money."
But Newcastle was about more than business. He would visit his friends, Jack and Jackie Newton, and there was that working class atmosphere by the sea that reminded him of his childhood home. As he has written in the catalogue for The Erskine Pledge exhibition, "I just like Newcastle."
That fondness intensified after the gallery contacted him via "a most delightful letter" a couple of years ago, requesting he loan works for a landmark John Olsen exhibition. Erskine lent five paintings for the John Olsen: The City's Son show in late 2016.
James Erskine firmly believes that art is made to be shared: "If you've got a collection, it's an obligation on you to have it be seen on public display. I don't think art is made to be closeted up at home, seen only by your family or people who visit you."
Erskine regularly lends work to major galleries. But he was particularly touched by Newcastle's reaction to his loan for the Olsen exhibition.
Not only did he receive an invitation and catalogues, but when it was over he received a "thank you" letter, which, he says, he doesn't always receive: "You make a mental note of who says 'please' and 'thank you'."
As a result of the Olsen exhibition experience, Erskine writes in the new exhibition's catalogue that, "I suddenly felt part of a new family."
Like most members of a family, he wanted to do his bit, first with the Olsen painting donation then, out of the blue, the pledge.
Newcastle Art Gallery was built on generosity. In 1945, when surgeon Dr Roland Pope promised to bequeath his extensive collection, it came with a condition: a gallery had to be constructed to house it.
The purpose-built gallery may not have been realised until 1977 (before then, the art lived in the cultural centre next door for 20 years), but donations and bequests have continued to bolster the collection. Now the collection has grown with 49 more works, largely due to the Erskine pledge.
"He didn't need to do it, but he felt empowered to do it," Morton says.
In turn, the gallery's supporters felt empowered. They grasped the challenge.
"Straight away, people were saying, 'Well, I've got this work. Would this be of interest to the gallery's collection?'," Morton says.
"So straight away we got reactions from people, 'I'm going to pledge this much money, I'm going to pledge that'. It was just wonderful."
"There was that 'Are we going to make it?' moment each month."
As donations rolled in, and works were given, Morton sent updates to Erskine. Then, at the six-month mark, she contacted Erskine to tell him they had met the challenge. The gallery and their supporters had raised $250,000 in artworks and donations of money.
Now the Erskines would fulfill their side of the bargain.
"I didn't tell them this," Erskine reveals, "but I would have have donated them [the works] anyway."
Morton and a couple of gallery foundation board members were invited to Erskine's Liverpool Street Gallery, where he had hung the works for their consideration.
"I knew he had some fantastic Newcastle artists in his collection, and he knew for me the priority was Newcastle, to have local artists represented," Morton says.
On the walls were a couple of mystical, light-infused seascapes and landscapes by Chris Langlois, whose training and early career was in Newcastle, and an abstract work by another local, Brett McMahon.
There were also major paintings by Dick Watkins, Karl Wiebke, Steven Harvey, and Peter Sharp. As Erskine says, "I've always bought paintings that would work in a museum."
Noticing the gallery director's reaction, Erskine went to the stockroom and pulled out another McMahon painting and a third Langlois work. Then, as they walked upstairs to his office, Morton was stunned by the works on display – "my eyes were hurting" – and when she showed interest in two sculptures, he gave those as well.
Lauretta Morton left with 12 new works for the Newcastle Art Gallery collection.
"The combined 12 works of art from James and Jacqui Erskine far exceed the $250,000 pledge," Morton says.
James Erskine hopes his pledge leads to more generosity.
"I think Australians don't donate enough; we're hoarders," he says, explaining those who could give art, but don't, are missing out on the pleasure of seeing others enjoy the work. "There's a sense of pride, a sense of doing the right thing."
So Newcastle Art Gallery's collection has expanded. But the long-discussed expansion of the gallery itself remains somewhere over the horizon, lost in the fog of political debate and controversy.
There's hope the Erskine pledge and the donations from local art lovers will provoke generosity from governments at all levels to finally fund the gallery redevelopment.
"It's very timely, because when I'm talking to people, such as James, it's, 'Why haven't you got an expanded gallery?'. These are the people asking that question, it's not just Newcastle asking it," Morton says.
"And I love that it's not stopping people giving. It's almost spurring them on to give, to leverage needing the bigger space, and needing to get our collection out on display more."
Actually, the gallery's collection has grown by an additional work. The piece of paper that James Erskine wrote on has been preserved in the archives.
As she sits in the gallery, amid the art that materialised from that one sheet of paper, Lauretta Morton smiles broadly and shakes her head.
"Even now, I have to pinch myself that this has actually happened," she says. "Now that we're sitting here among the works, it's really hitting home, what he's actually done."

From being pregnant to Erin's birth and then to being a parent, this is not what I imaged it to be at all! I didn't enjoy pregnancy whatsoever and Erin's arrival was not at all what I expected. I ended up being induced and she was born early at 36+4 and on New Year's Day! There is so much that I have learned since becoming a parent, here are 5 of them!
Things I Have Learnt Since Becoming A Mummy
It's okay to have questions– For some reason, I sort of felt like as soon as Erin was born I was supposed to know what to do about everything. I must have spent so long on Google for so many different things.
Accidents happen– I dropped Erin was she was only a few weeks old. It was only from a short height after getting out of the bath but I was still recovering from surgery and I slipped. Erin was totally fine and got over it really quickly.
At the beginning of the year Erin tripped in the living room and cut her head open on the fireplace. I felt so much guilt because I was with her when it happened. We had to go in an ambulance and have her head glued together. I was so much more upset than she was!
The thing is, you can't wrap your children in cotton wool. I've come to terms with the fact that Erin will get bumps and bruises and I can't stop that!
Parenting is not natural– I don't think parenting has ever really felt completely natural to me. You know when you tell people you're pregnant and they give you the 'Oh, you'll be a natural' reply? Well, I think they all lie.
Being a non parent is not even close to being the same as being a parent. Your whole life changes and you have to think about everything differently. What part of that is natural?
My child is awesome–Okay, so I know everyone will say this about their children and it is, of course, true! I guess with this I have learned to let emotions in that I wasn't prepared for. Before I became a parent I wasn't prepared to feel the joy, love and be as proud of my girl as I am. I have learned to see how amazing the little things are, like her learning how to howl at the sky like a wolf. I have learned that in my eyes, everything Erin does is amazing and I am so proud of every single thing she does.
Is Being A Parent Different Than How You Imagined?
I have learned so much in 19 months and I will only continue to learn more.

Haha OP is so sweet.
But seriously OP, he doesn't act like how most guy does - at least from my experience as one - with "just friends" when he's around you. He could be terribly leading you on, but that's just not a thing guys do usually (more often girls are foud doing that).
You're stepping up into each other's comfort zone, when you hug. It's not nothing. And anyway, he initiated it two times; I bet it's now safe for you to just hug him (okay, maybe not too strong, and maybe the kiss-on-the-cheek stuff would be too much but then again I don't think so).

The whole department works as a team to offer cost-effective and reliable results. The damage restoration companies tie up with certain insurance companies and also help them to choose an insurance advisor for their clients to help them meet all the insurance formalities for making a claim.

Water Damage Restoration Specialists in Lewiston Me
Water Damage can be a devastating event for homeowners and most times will happen without warning. To be aware of possible leaks in the home, its a good idea to do monthly checks around the home. By checking hoses behind dishwashers, and clothes washers, and also checking pipes in the bathroom and kitchen you will be able to detect a problem before it becomes a disaster. Replacing old washer hoses with the new steel mesh hoses is a way to prevent leaking, and replacing old, rusty or decaying pipes will lessen the chances of a pipe breaking and causing water damage. Acting quickly in response to water damage in the home will save you time and money from potential structural problems, mold problems, and other future costs. When water is discovered in your home the best thing to do is act quickly by removing the water. This can be done with a water pump, brooms, and or buckets. If carpet has been soaked or wet, you will need to remove the carpet and padding, or once the water is gone you can use a vacuum, or air mover to dry out the wet carpets.
Removing any furniture or items in the room will also help with the drying process and keep those things dry. Removing other wet items will reduce the moisture in the room and the possibility of mold growth or black mold growth. Doing these things also preps the home in case you seek out professional help. A water restoration company can do these things for you too, but by starting earlier you can reduce the risks of mold growth, and other decay in your home, which can happen 24-48 hrs after water damage has occurred. Mold grows in moist, wet, and humid areas of the home. That is why fixing water leaks, and cleaning wet areas is very important. When a devastating event like a flood happens, or when a water pipe breaks, the home is vulnerable to growth due to the massive amounts of prime areas for it to grow. Mold can cause structural damage to the home and can be toxic for those that live in the home. Cleaning and drying affected areas will stop mold from growing or coming back. If water damage has affected you recently you can call a mold remediation company who will assess the damage and work to eradicate mold.

Automatic Standby Generator
An automatic standby generator is a back-up electrical system that operates whether you are at home or away. It automatically supplies power to essential circuits of your home within seconds of a utility outage. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and awaits the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane and sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.
A 17KW whole house generator with a 200 amp service rated transfer switch provides 80 amps of power at 120/240 volts. These are rated at 200 amps, which is typically the standard size service in most homes. The unit switches from utility power to generator power in a matter of minutes, allowing your entire house to be repowered. Generators run on either natural gas or propane.
With the cover closed, these generators run more quietly than a lawn mower. Maintenance is minimal. These generators will automatically exercise once a week for fifteen minutes allowing the batteries to charge and the system to check itself. A tune-up and oil change are recommended once a year.
Portable Generators
safe way to supply power during a power outage is to use a portable generator of the appropriate wattage for your needs (at least 4000 Watts for starters) have an electrician install a power transfer switch connected to the house's main electrical panel. Just fire up the generator, run a single extension cord into the transfer switch and power the circuits you need through the main circuit breaker. This eliminates the risk of electrical "back feed" injuring utility workers repairing downed power lines.
A 30 amp transfer switch allows six circuits to be powered by a portable generator. A small portable gasoline-powered electric generator can provide power for TVs, small kitchen appliances, hair dryers, power tools, lights and other devices.

But now they are shilling for the Russians & are all in on killing innocent Americans, doesn't really matter what they used to be…
1977 is the key date to remember for the birth of the modern NRA. That's when an internal coup installed a racist murderer named Harlon Carter as the organisation's leader and set it on its course to becoming the right-wing lobbying body for the firearms industry it is today.
Obligatory additional reading for anyone thinking that a Democratic candidate should take one red cent from these scumbags:
Check out today's "Intercepted" podcast with Jeremy Scahill.
Turns out the NRA loved gun control especially when it came to African Americans. (Especially the black panther party - NOT the "new" black panthers which is a totally different thing)
I would hope their members could pull them back from the insanity that they have embraced.
The idea of black people with firearms has always made right-wingers very nervous. BLM could really do us all a service by instituting neighourhood "copwatching" patrols featuring open carry of AR-15s. Within 24 hours we'd see the NRA and GOP politicians scrambling to institute gun controls like Reagan and the California GOP did in 1967:
Don't hold your breath. The members the NRA really serves are the manufacturers, and the dues-paying individual members are conservative rubes who think they and the Second Amendment are the org's primary concern.
Do check out the podcast…it was quite informative
I'm not, but there's always hope that (the collective) "we" can make a difference. Saw this last night and it brought me hope.
There was also this good news:
Heck, as recently as 1999 Wayne LaPierre was saying they wholeheartedly supported "Gun Free Schools." They've gone so far off the rails that they think their own positions from 20 years ago are unacceptably extreme, let alone their positions from 50 years ago.
Please post transcripts with videos.
- I can read faster than most people can talk
- Text lets me back up and re-read something quickly
- You might actually have people who are deaf using this site.
I love how the NRA can bad when they support gun control because it was "racist", even though I challenge any one to read the 1968 law and tell me which law you feel is NOT "common sense" gun control. I don't think you will find a single law in that bill that one would say should be repealed. I'll wait. (Though I acknowledge that some of the black radical groups were PART of the reasons for these laws, I still challenge any of you to point out which part of the law you would have repealed today.)
Also during that time, there were NRA groups helping blacks in the South set up their own chapters during the 60s. If one looks into the actual history of state gun control laws, one will see that most of them were racist in nature and Jim Crow laws. Examples would be getting Sheriff approval for buying a hand gun.
Since the leadership change in the 70s they have been a hard line rights group. I will admit their sky falling propaganda is hyperbole at times, but at the same time sweeping, restrictive laws can be voted in at any point, thus their vigilance is prudent. I also admit their spokes people are some times way off base. But others aren't.
The reality is, no matter what branding one wants to put on the NRA, since the leadership change they haven't supported a single racist charged gun law. So while I am sure some members of the NRA are racist, the charge they are some racist org is baseless ad hominem. It is why radicals like Killer Mike is a member (or at least was up to a few years ago) - he may not agree the rest of the members on a bunch of other politics, but they are all on the same page about their rights.
Lastly, blaming the NRA for other people misusing and abusing firearms, is like blaming the ACLU that Nazis have a right to free speech.
Obviously false
I know I know fake news …
I assume you meant the link to the Mulford Act to refute my statement, and not the personal opinion post?
So - The Mulford Act. Are you saying you support the rights of a person to open carry a loaded firearm? Then we are in agreement! If you don't think they should be allowed to open carry a loaded firearm, then I have to ask why you are supporting a racist gun law?
But as I said, since the leadership change in the 70s, the NRA hasn't supported laws like this.
Which was put into place (gasp) Because of the black panther party. I'm assuming you know that right…or is there more revisionist history going on in that head of yours you'd like to share.
Oh wait you mean overtly… rather than it's every day dog whistle demeanor?
Did you miss the line where I said: "Though I acknowledge that some of the black radical groups were PART of the reasons for these laws"? Or are you intentionally being obtuse?
So while I'd be fine if the Mulford Act or the 1968 Gun Control act were repealed, the question I have is - would you or anyone else calling for "common sense" gun laws? If so - then welcome to the team! If not, then why are you supporting laws that obviously was in reaction to (at least partly) people like the Black Panther party?
Curiously the majority of their members still support gun control. Particularly when you poll specific policies without politicized language.
Many of the NRA members I know are only members because the NRA is considered the only game in town. They run the safety and training classes. Target shooting competitions. They handle all shooting related activities for scouts. And I constantly hear from members about how the national organization is different than the on the ground membership. Or complaining about the organization backing/enabling manufacturers and corporations over their membership.
It strikes me that if these frustrated members would leave. Either start their own more functional thing. Or join one of the smaller less insane groups out there. The NRA would see a big check to its influence.
While the Mulford Act preceded the right-wing NRA coup by a decade, the right-wing racist mindset that inspired that hypocritical "change of heart." has only hardened in the GOP as a result of the Southern Strategy and has become the standard line for the NRA's national leadership since 1977.
Um, I know that's just a thought, but I'd guess that many BLM members would respond to such a suggestion with something like, "Thanks but no thanks, we're fighting for our own lives over here. Care to join us, for once?"
Reminds me of people pointing out that the largely white women's marches and #metoo and such have been comprised of people who don't often show up for other marches.
Again, I know it was just a thought, but enlistment calls issued to those who have their own battles to fight – battles in which those doing the calling to another battle typically have little active interest – don't really come across well.
Yeah, to be clear it's more a hypothetical to point out the hypocrisy of the NRA and GOP politicians on the issue of black people with firearms. BLM pulling a Huey Newton move in 2018 would likely end up with a lot of dead and wounded African-Americans.

Robert (Baloo) Dunehew was born after Sputnik but before manned space flight. He displayed a high degree of mechanical aptitude and scientific curiosity from an early age. When he was only 3, he painted the garage floor, "fixed" mommys vacuum cleaner, and "discovered" electricity (with the aid of a screwdriver). That was a typical week.
In elementary school, he discovered science and science fiction, though it would take a few years before he could distinguish the difference between the two. At age 6, while watching a Gemini launch on television, he was suddenly disillusioned when he realized that this meant the "Jetsons" was only a cartoon. At 8, Baloo saw his first episode of "Star Trek" on a friends color TV. The only thing he clearly recalls is that this "Spock" guy was either supposed to be an alien or, judging by his color, was about to lose his lunch.
At 12, our hero began reading such classics as "Lucky Starr, Space Ranger" by Paul French (a.k.a. Isaac Asimov), "Danny Dunn, Boy Scientist", and "Tom Sawyer". It was at this time that he decided to be an engineer, whereupon his brother-in-law (an engineer) gifted him with a cornucopia of drafting instruments. Baloo immediately began drawing planes he thought the Air Force ought to have, based upon aesthetic considerations rather than actual need.
In High School, Baloo excelled in math and science though, much to his teachers annoyance, he often brought science books into class to read when the teacher was boring (a frequent occurrence). In college, Baloo had two excellent semesters before he discovered the fine art of carousing (during which time he added a few refinements of his own), followed shortly by poor grades and a not-quite-voluntary decision to enter the workforce and worry about college later.
Baloo worked a range of jobs from graphic artist to sheet rock hanger with varying success until he finally decided to join the Air Force, under the advice of his last civilian boss. In the Air Force, Baloo joined the electronic Jack-of-all-trades career field of Electronic Warfare. (Hed tell us more, but then hed have to kill us, and he says that he already has enough to do as it is.)
Baloo is still in the Air Force, and has only since October of '97 gotten "on the web". Despite this, he is learning HTML and many other useful acronyms. His interests are science, science fiction, humor and human behavior (of which these last two items amount to much the same thing). In his spare time he lives with his wife and infant son in Clovis, New Mexico, about 50 miles from Earth. No Kidding! On the highway to Lubbock, Texas theres a sign that says:
It's been a while since I updated the above. What's happened since hasn't been particularly good news, and I was constrained to not discuss the matter until things were settled.
In September of 1999, I discovered that That Woman (hereinafter referred to as "TW") was seeing someone else. by the end of the month, she had moved out (I came home one afternoon to find the house devoid of furniture). I will go into no details, except that TW had no intention of leaving me a forwarding address nor a phone number, though I eventually discovered this information. I filed for divorce shortly thereafter.
The day before the court appearance, I discovered, through my Attorney, that I had been legally divorced from TW since December 21st of 1999. The final details (child support, division of property, etc.), were to be decided before the Judge.
On April 18, 2000, the Judge decided that TW and I would swap cars (I wound up with the minivan, but she has to pay for the Concord), and that she would retain all other property in her possession, and I would retain all property in mine. Well, I suppose I can someday replace the washer and dryer. And everything else.
We have joint custody of Jordan (my son). This means that I have him every Tuesday for 3 hours, and alternating weekends. Plus, I'll have him for 2 weeks in the summer. She gets him the rest of the time.
A pic of Son & Me
TW also gets approximately 1/4 of my take-home pay for child support. I don't begrudge a penny of it as long as it's actually used to support Jordan. However, this leaves me paying a large number of bills we accumulated jointly, while she retains the property I'm paying the bills for.
I haven't got any disposable income to speak of, for the time being. For example, if I want to take in a movie, I might have to skip lunch one day, or make dinner of a sandwich -- not a bad prospect, actually (I like sandwiches). If I want to go out and possibly meet someone, it had better be at the laundromat or the library. It's just as well, for right now, I'm still working through my feelings over what happened. I don't think I'd make a good prospect myself, in my current frame of mind.
I'm not as bitter as I was when this began, and my prospects of getting the bills caught up and maybe doing something for fun (apart from reading or watching TV) is not far off (perhaps 2 or 3 months, if I'm a real tight-fisted S.O.B. ;)). For now, I just go to work and come home. At least I still have the dog.
PS: I will probably update this again as things change (for the better, one would hope).

"If you were traveling in that area and saw anything suspicious between Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. and Wednesday at 11 a.m., investigators need your help. Please contact the GBI at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477) with any information pertinent to the investigation," according to a news release from the agency.
This was supposed to be a happy time for Vanita as this week marked the start of graduation season at Armuchee High. A virtual awards ceremony was held Monday night and the school's "drive through" graduation is set for Saturday, May 23, at 10 a.m. An in-person service remains scheduled for July 23 at the Forum River Center.
For now, her classmates are left to mourning. Floyd County Schools shared this note on Wednesday:
"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by the news of the death of one of our students, Vanita Richardson, who was scheduled to graduate next Saturday. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Armuchee Community and her friends and family at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. Vanita will be remembered for being a fun-loving, humble, and motivated student who was making strong plans for her future. Even throughout the school closures, Vanita's passing is felt by all. In particular, the staff members whose lives she touched with her caring personality and big heart. The Armuchee High social worker and counselor will be available for virtual grief and loss counseling sessions. Students who are interested should email them directly."

As the GBI continues the investigation into their deaths, Rome and Floyd County residents are mourning the loss of an Armuchee High graduate and her 30-year-old sister.
Wednesday night, the Facebook pages of Vanita Richardson, believed to be 18, and her sister Truvenia Campbell were filled with stunned reaction and tributes. Among the items posted: A photograph believed taken just days ago, Mother's Day, of the pair.
The victims were officially identified Thursday morning by Floyd County Chief Deputy Coroner Connie Chandler as Vanita Richardson, 19, and Clarese Truvenia Campbell, age 30.
Their bodies were found by a state Department of Transportation crew doing maintenance work on the bridge leading to the Etowah River below Grizzard Park. Both were found with bags over their heads. Their bodies were hoisted from the wetlands to the bridge and then taken to the Floyd County Morgue before autopsies were completed at the GBI crime lab.

In a year already marred by canceled in-school classes and the loss of many of the amenities enjoyed by seniors, Vanita's classmates and friends are leaving photographs and notes on her Facebook page recalling times together. One after another expressed shock. They talk about working together at an Armuchee fast-food restaurant or gathering on Harper Street in South Rome where the young lady would block traffic as she shared a story with friends.
Others writing on Truvenia's page told of her recent birthday and her desire to go "clubbing" in Atlanta to celebrate.
We'll have additional updates throughout the day on the investigation and what's next.
The GBI confirms it has been "requested by the Rome Police Department to investigate the deaths of two individuals. Agents are on scene at Loop 1 at Etowah Bridge gathering information," according to a statement from the state agency around 12:30 p.m. Two deputy coroners were on the way to the scene at 12:30 p.m.
What we know:
- Both Rome Police and the Floyd County Police Department responded to the scene around 11:15 this morning. Varying, unconfirmed reports were two bodies had been found, both female. It was determined Rome Police had jurisdiction and officers, in turn, summoned the GBI.
- Georgia DOT crews already were working in the area. One lane of traffic had been closed as the work continued. The GBI reports the DOT crew spotted the bodies. They later were hoisted from the under the bridge and taken to the nearby Floyd County Morgue.

Book Title: Computer Standards and Interfaces
Date: January 1, 2011
Abstract: Security is an important requirement in scenarios such as mobile computing that allow users to make meaningful ad hoc collaborations. Traditional security solutions are not feasible for these scenarios due to the varying nature of the collaborations. We propose an extensible framework that takes the semantics of the collaboration into account and uses semantics driven policies for enforcing security. Our policies are rooted in semantic web languages which make them amenable to interoperability and high level reasoning. We describe our policy based network that exploits packet content semantics to secure enterprise networks and the BGP routing process.

Girls' Volleyball
Coaching Staff:
Varsity Coach: Ann Marie Nee, firstname.lastname@example.com
Varsity Assistant: Doug Zani, firstname.lastname@example.com
Varsity B: Francesca Ferreira, email@example.com
JV A Coach: TBD
JV B Coach: Jeff Weigel, email@example.com
Welcome to Raider Girls' VolleyballWe have four girls volleyball teams at Scarsdale High School as follows:
- Varsity A is for the top volleyball players, regardless of grade-level.
- Varsity B is primarily for juniors and seniors who have a playing background on JV and are competitive, but do not make Varsity A. As space allows, freshmen and sophomores are also considered.
- JV A and JV B are for freshmen and sophomores. Some years these teams were evenly mixed between freshman and sophomores and other years we have had one team predominately from one grade, and the other team from the other grade.
TryoutsAll players must have their gold card from the nurse. Information on how to get a gold card can be found atTryouts begin on Monday, August 24, 2020 at 9:30am for players who wish to be considered for varsity (A or B). This will be a higher-level tryout for players who have played competitive volleyball in the past.On Tuesday, August 25, 2020, tryouts continue and are open to all players. We will be playing on 4-5 courts based on ability, but there will be times when varsity and JV will be mixed for some athletic assessments and activities.All four teams will be finalized by Wednesday, August 26 at noon. Practices commence Thursday and continue through the beginning of school. Some teams will have scrimmages beginning the following Monday. Players are expected to be at all tryouts and pre-season practices, scrimmages, and tournaments.The tryout schedule is: (note that times may be adjusted earlier or later due to heat index)
Tryouts consist of assessments of individual volleyball skills such as forearm passing, setting, hitting, serving, and blocking. Court play, communication, and positivity are also critical considerations.The coaching staff tests the athletes for general athleticism in speed, agility, endurance, and quickness through jump rope, shuttle runs, timed mile, sprints, vertical and horizontal jumping measurements, etc.Players are also evaluated on their cooperation with other players and their ability to take direction from the coaching staff to improve.
- Monday, August 24, from 9:30am-12:00pm and 1:30pm-3:00pm (Varsity level)
- Tuesday, August 25, from 9:00am-12 noon and 1:00pm-3:00pm (all levels)
- Wednesday, August 26, from 9:00am-12:00pm (all levels)
Preseason Practice
For Varsity A, there will be practice on Wednesday afternoon, August 26. For all other teams, pre-season practices will begin on August 27. The times depend on the team. Varsity A and B practice twice a day during the summer pre-season, but JV teams practice once a day, either in the morning or late afternoon. The first scrimmages and games will occur before school starts. Typically, JV games follow Varsity games.
Regular Season
Volleyball is a commitment of about 2.5 hours per day, 6 days a week and a few Saturday tournaments. Saturday morning practices are mandatory for varsity A. It is our expectation that athletes will be present for all team tryouts, scrimmages, practices, games, and tournaments.
For 2020, Varsity A and B will host ONE home tournament on Saturday, October 24. JV players are expected to help at the varsity tournament. Parent volunteers are also needed. Sign up sheets with be emailed once teams are established. These are two of the biggest athletic events offered at the school and everyone's help is appreciated in making them successful.
The regular season ends on Monday, October 26 for Varsity B, JVA, and JVB.
Varsity A is then eligible for post-season play, which we hope concludes with the state tournament in mid-November.
