The September results are now complete, and I'm happy to announce a new record high. Last month, we had 36,159 unique visitors and 58,586 unique visits. Our Alexa number is up to 211,003 (a three-month average - that's up 60,739), although our ranking for this past week is 165,026. Alexa also reports that 177 sites link to us. Interestingly, their numbers seem to indicate that the Buglarian site is outpacing the English site - 58% vs. 42%!
As of this writing, there are 7,893 total pages in the database, of which 1,842 pages that are probably "real" content pages. There have been a total of 3,377,708 page views, and 40,339 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 5.11 average edits per page, and 83.73 views per edit. We have 1,967 registered users.
OrthodoxWiki has surpassed the Church of Greece (Ecclesia.gr), whose Alexa ranking rose slightly to 277,143. As far as I can tell, by these standards, we are the #3 site on the Internet for Orthodox Christianity - behind OCA.org and GOARCH.org. I suspect here are some Russian-language websites which would beat us out, but I'm not sure. Let us know if you think we've missed anything.
ROCOR's website (http://www.russianorthodoxchurch.ws) is currently ranked at 258,105. The Moscow Patriarchate (http://www.mospat.ru) is at 419,695

October 27, 2005 Update
OrthodoxWiki is almost a year old!
It's been awhile since we've had an update on OrthodoxWiki's web stats. I was happily suprised to find an exponential increase in traffic.
Through the month of October, we've been averaging about 1200 unique visits a day -- that's how many we used to get in a whole month.
As of today, we've had 12975 unique visitors, averaging 2.23 visits each, and 11.53 pages. About 70% stayed less than two minutes, but more than 10% stuck for more than an hour.
The top 25 countries represented (according to internet reckoning) are (in order): United States, Great Britain, Australia, Unknown, European Union, Canada, China, Germany, Greece, Romania, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Egypt, France, Singapore, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Spain, Italy, Japan, Denmark, Russian Federation, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
More of our referral traffic (excluding search engine traffic) is still coming from blog sites, with various Orthodox link directories making a nice showing.
Other facts you might find interesting:
- 90% of folks accessing OrthodoxWiki are using some kind of Windows system, with 244 hits coming from "Windows Codename Longhorn." 6.3% are from Mac users, and 3.4% for all others, including 0.8% for Linux.
- 73.1% of people are using some variation of Internet Explorer, 13.1% Firefox, 1.6% Netscape, 4.9% Mozilla, 4.2% Safari, and 0.7% Opera.
- Though still a very small number, more hits are beginning to show up from cell phones and PDA's.
- Monday and Tuesday beat out Saturday and Sunday as the most trafficked days.
- The Main Page is most frequently landed on, and the List of American monasteries is number two, but Harold of England beats out John Chrysostom for third place.
From Special:Statistics
As of this moment, there are 4,631 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about OrthodoxWiki, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 1,164 pages that are probably legitimate content pages.
There have been a total of 505,495 page views, and 17,464 page edits since the wiki was setup. That comes to 3.77 average edits per page, and 28.94 views per edit.
There are 475 registered users, of which 11 (2.32%) are administrators.
Feb-April 2005 Updates
With the spike in content over the past month, OrthodoxWiki has experienced a marked rise in visitors from various search engines, especially Google. Some of the more interesting search queries can be found at OrthodoxWiki:Keyphrases. At this point, we're also averaging well over 1500 unqiue visits a month, from at least 50 countries around the world including every continent except Antarctica. As of early February, the top five countries are: the U.S., Austrailia, the Russian Federation, Greece, and Great Britain. Stats for the wiki itself are available at here.

Liability of Farm Employers
Stephen F. Matthews and Timothy W. Triplett
Department of Agricultural Economics
Farm owners and operators who hire employees increase their potential liability. The farm employer may be held liable for the acts of employees as well as for injuries to them. This publication provides a general discussion of the farm employer's exposure to liability and steps that could be taken to protect against such liability.
A farm employer can he held liable for damages to third parties caused by the negligent acts of his or her employees on a strict liability basis, regardless of the innocence of the employer. Circumstances under which a farm employer may be liable for the acts of employees are as follows:
- One of your farm workers kills a neighbor's cow with a rock in attempting to remove her from your corn field. Can you be required to reimburse your neighbor for the value of the cow?
- Assume you give your farm manager $50 with instructions to buy two new tires from a local service station you have dealt with before. If he keeps the money and has the tires charged to your account, can the service station owner force you to pay this bill?
- You hire a pilot to spray your row crops with a weed and insect killer. If the drifting spray damages your neighbor's property, are you liable?
The employer's liability under these three cases is determined by the legal classification of the person employed. Such persons may be grouped into three categories: servants, agents or independent contractors. These legal classifications are defined as follows:
If the employer has the right to direct and control the physical manner by which the hired person performs his tasks, that hired person is a servant.
An agent is a person hired with authority either to
- Transact business or
- Manage certain affairs for her or his employer.
Independent contractor
An independent contractor is a person contracted to do a certain job according to his or her own methods.
The purpose of this publication is to provide information regarding some of the farm employer's liabilities for persons in the legal categories as defined previously. Since only the general legal concepts are cited, this publication is not intended to replace the services of a competent attorney when you are faced with a specific problem.
Potential liability for acts of servants
A major factor affecting the legal classification of a hired person is the degree of control which an employer has over his or her employee. An employer has the greatest right of control over the servant. A general farmhand whose work is either supervised by the employer or completed by following the employer's detailed instructions may well be classified as a servant. The relationship here is legally referred to as a "master-servant" relationship.
Farm employers are legally responsible for the personal injuries or property damages caused by employees who are acting as servants. However, the servant must be acting within the scope of his employment at the time the injury occurs. This type of liability placed on the employer or "master" is referred to as vicarious liability. In the first case cited in the introduction, the farm worker who killed the neighbor's cow probably would be classified as a servant, and, therefore, the master (employer) would be held liable for the servant's act.
It is important to point out that the employer in the first example may be held liable for the act of his employee even though he had not told his employee to drive cows from the fields by throwing rocks at them. In fact, he may have discouraged this practice. It is not necessary for the employer to have instructed his employee to do the very act that caused the injury. If this were the case, few employers would ever be held vicariously liable. It is only necessary to find that the servant was acting within the scope of his or her employment when the injury occurred to hold the master liable.
The issue of whether the employee is indeed a servant, and whether the servant was acting within the scope of her or his employment at the time of the injury, are both questions to be resolved by the jury during a trial. This is often a difficult task, and the determination of these issues may vary from case to case as the facts differ.
Potential liability for acts of agents
An employer has a lesser degree of control over a person classified as an agent. An agent is a person with authority either to
- Transact business or
- Manage certain affairs for the employer.
The employer-employee relationship, in the case of agents, is legally referred to as a "principal-agent" relationship. For example, a farm manager who makes business decisions for his employer could be classified as an agent.
An employer is responsible for his agent's acts committed while "within the scope of his authority." There are basically two distinct types of authority: actual authority and apparent authority. If the agent carries out express employer directions, then the employer is responsible for the agent's acts since they are within the scope of his actual authority. For example, if the employer instructs his agent to buy tires for him, the employer would be obligated to pay for them when the agent carries out these orders.
An example of apparent authority might be the second case cited in the introduction. The employee may have had authority to purchase tires on credit on several occasions. Even if the employee keeps the money on this occasion, it would probably reasonably appear to the tire dealer that your employee was authorized to make this credit transaction because of previous credit purchases. Since your agent appears to be within the scope of his authority, you may be liable for his acts regardless of whether he actually had been authorized to purchase the tires on credit.
To protect yourself in this situation, it would be necessary for you to contact the tire dealer, informing him that your agent no longer has the authority to buy tires on credit.
It may not be clear if a given transaction is made with "apparent" authority. The rule that "you deal with an agent at your own peril" is often stated, because apparent authority exists to the extent that it is reasonable for the person (in our example, the tire dealer) dealing with the agent to believe that the agent actually is authorized to conduct certain business. This means the tire dealer is dealing with the agent at his own risk.
Under this rule, if the agent does not have the purported authority, the tire dealer is the party who must stand the loss. Thus, the dealer has a duty to contact the employer if he is in doubt. Because of the complex nature of this area of the law, it is difficult to make generalizations. Specific questions should be directed to your attorney.
Under some circumstances, a contract made by a person claiming to be your agent may be binding on you, even though the purported agent has no actual or apparent authority to make such a contract. In order to be bound, you must he aware of all material facts and, either by words or conduct, ratify the purported agent's act. This is another area where you should contact your attorney before completing any deal.
Potential liability for acts of independent contractors
The employer has the least amount of control over an independent contractor. As defined, the independent contractor is hired to do a certain job. In contrast with the servant, the employer has minimal control over the manner in which an independent contractor completes a job. As a general rule, an employer is not responsible for the acts of an independent contractor.
There are important exceptions to this general rule which make the employer liable for the acts of independent contractors. These exceptions are:
- Negligently selecting an independent contractor
- Furnishing the contractor with faulty plans or specifications
- Hiring a contractor to perform a task which is inherently dangerous.
The first exception flows from general negligence law. Selecting a known incompetent as an independent contractor increases the chances that someone may be injured during the course of the job. Therefore, an employer remains directly responsible to those injured if he hires an incompetent contractor.
Secondly, if your building collapses, then you are liable for injuries to third persons if you gave the contractor deficient specifications that caused the building to collapse.
The third exception recognizes that some tasks are simply inherently dangerous. An employer is not allowed to avoid liability for injury or damage by delegating such tasks to a contractor. Rather, the employer remains fully liable, unless an agreement is made with the independent contractor whereby he knowingly agrees to accept all responsibility for harm done, and to indemnify the employer for all losses. An example of an inherently dangerous task might be the aerial spraying situation set out in the third case at the beginning of this publication.
Of course, an employer also remains responsible for her or his own negligent acts which cause injury to others during the time an independent contractor is completing his task. For example, if the employer in our aerial spraying example had negligently failed to warn the pilot of special hazards or dangers like power lines across the field and the pilot was injured as a result of this lack of knowledge, the employer might be directly responsible for the contractor's injuries and the damages he caused.
Where the ultimate liability may fall
Even if you as an employer should be held liable for an employee's conduct, the ultimate liability for the damage or injury is upon the employee. The wrongdoing employee must indemnify (repay) the employer for any payments made for damages and injuries.
However, an employee may be "judgment proof." That is, he has few or no assets with which to pay a judgment rendered against him. Therefore, the aggrieved party may sue the employer because he has "deeper pockets." Quite often an employer may have sufficient assets to pay a judgment where his employee does not.
If you are sued as an employer in a master-servant relationship situation, you can bring your servant or employee into the suit as a "third-party" defendant. Since the employee is also a party to the lawsuit, a determination that you are responsible for his act also will require the conclusion that the employee is ultimately liable. Thus, if the employee later acquires money, he could be required to reimburse you for your expenses.
Employee classification can change
The legal classifications for employer-employee relationships can change quite often. It is possible that you may have one person who serves in the capacity of a servant, an agent and an independent contractor all in the same day. Thus, the factor determining liability for an employee's conduct is the legal classification existing at the time of damage or injury.
Injuries to employees
Every farm employer also has a responsibility to see that his or her employees are free from physical harm in the performance of their duties. For example, suppose your employee is plowing with a tractor that has a defective lift. The plow falls on his foot, causing severe injuries. In this case, you knew that the lift was defective and even had promised to repair it. Are you liable for his injuries? An Illinois court said yes in the case of Fox vs. Beall, 314 III. App. 144 (1942).
The rules that determine responsibility for your employee's injuries fall into two distinct categories:
- Coverage by worker's compensation insurance
- No such coverage.
Who is required to carry worker's compensation?
Missouri amended its worker's compensation laws as they affect farm labor in 1978. Before this amendment, employers of farm labor were required to carry the insurance if they had more than five employees and a total annual payroll in excess of $2,500. The 1978 law exempts employers of farm labor from carrying worker's compensation insurance. Employers of nonfarm labor are required to carry worker's compensation insurance if they have five or more employees. If laborers work more than 5-1/2 consecutive work days per year, then each counts as an employee. Family labor, including minors, may be counted.
What are the pros and cons of coverage?
The farmer-employer
By voluntarily choosing to carry worker's compensation insurance, farmers are offering their employees the fringe benefit of assured compensation for farm accidents.
In times when good hired labor is difficult to find, worker's compensation coverage is another attraction to offer laborers. At the same time, farmers are limiting their liability for farm accidents to the coverage under the insurance policies no further action can be taken against the farmer-employer. However, if the employee's injury or death is caused by the employer's failure to comply with any safety statute, then the compensation or death benefits may be increased by 15 percent.
Although cost to the employer is a negative aspect of worker's compensation insurance, the cost for such insurance is an income tax deduction.
The employee
Under worker's compensation insurance, the primary disadvantage to the employee is that compensation is limited to the maximum set out by the policy. But this is offset by the advantage to the employee of usually assured compensation for job injury. However, if the employee willfully inflicts injury or commits suicide, compensation will be denied. Also, if the employee's injury is caused by his or her willful failure to use safety devices provided by the employer or by his or her failure to obey work rules that the employer has posted conspicuously, the compensation or death benefits will be reduced by 15 percent.
The premiums for the insurance must be paid by the employer. The statute forbids the employer from charging employees for any part of the insurance premiums. The premiums are approximately 4 to 6 percent of the total payroll.
For example, consider the employer with one full-time employee and four part-time helpers who qualify as employees (work more than 5-1/2 consecutive work days per year). If the premium rate were $5.33 per $100 annual payroll, a total payroll of $15,000 would cost the employer about $800 in premiums. In light of the liability protection for the employer, this cost may be reasonable. Thus, employers may want to consider voluntary coverage by worker's compensation insurance.
No worker's compensation coverage
If you do not carry worker's compensation, your legal responsibilities to employees who are injured while working for you are governed by the general court-made law of the state. Basically, you can be held liable when the injury of your employee is caused by your negligence. The negligence can be either an affirmative act that a reasonable person would not have taken in the same or similar circumstances, or a failure to take an action that a reasonable person would have taken in the same or similar circumstances.
The common law outlined certain duties that an employer must take for the protection of employees. These protective measures included:
- The duty to provide a safe place to work
- Providing safe appliances, tools and equipment
- The duty to give warnings of dangers about which the employee might reasonably not know
- The duty to make and enforce rules for the conduct of employees that would tend to make the work safer.
Without coverage under worker's compensation, the employee may not recover damages for an injury simply because it occurred as a result of a work-related accident. The employee must prove that the injury was caused directly by the negligence of the employer. It is also important that the employee did not contribute through his or her own negligence to the accident that caused the injury. Nor can the employee recover if the jury finds that he or she "assumed the risk" of the injury-causing activity.
However, the farm employer should be aware that, unlike coverage under worker's compensation insurance, the damages a jury may award to an injured employee not under worker's compensation are not limited by a statutory schedule of benefits. Rather, the amount of damages to be awarded to an injured employee are assessed by the particular jury deciding the case. Because these jury awards may be very high, it is important for the farm employer to carry some type of liability insurance to cover injuries to employees.
Although at first glance it may seem difficult for employees to prove that the negligence of their employer caused their injury, employees often do recover large money judgments against negligent employers. The farm employer should consider this important factor before deciding against worker's compensation coverage.
There are circumstances under which you are responsible for the acts of your employees. Your liability varies depending on whether you and your employee have created a master-servant, principal-agent, or an employer-independent contractor relationship.
The master-servant relationship usually exists when an employee performs a task requiring no particular training. Here the employer has a high degree of control over the worker's activities and is responsible for employee-inflicted injuries when they occur within the scope of the servant's employment.
The principal-agent relationship usually exists when you hire someone to transact business on your behalf or otherwise represent you in your affairs. You are liable for contract damages or losses suffered because of your agent's acts if he or she acts within the scope of actual or apparent authority.
The employer-independent contractor relationship exists when you hire someone who has full control over the physical manner in which the work is done. As a general rule, you are not liable for the acts of an independent contractor. However, you may be liable for injuries he or she inflicts on others if
- You are negligent in the selection of the independent contractor
- You furnish faulty plans or specifications
- You hire an independent contractor to perform an inherently dangerous task.
You also may be responsible for injuries suffered by employees. The extent of your personal liability depends on whether you carry worker's compensation insurance. If you are not under the protection afforded by worker's compensation insurance, your actions are governed by the rules of the common law. It is necessary, therefore, for you to carry some type of liability insurance to cover the injuries of your employees to protect yourself from possible high damage awards set by a jury.
Other information
The material contained here is only a general statement of the law. Therefore, if you have specific questions, you should discuss them with your attorney. This publication discusses only liability for the acts of your employees and for injuries suffered by your employees.

Actually the love trial can still be three-way. Shannontrice has the problem of not being able to be Beatrice without dealing with Shannon's disappearance if Kanon rejects being Shannon. Kanon choosing to remain as one of either Shannon or Kanon obviously destroys the other, but also creates complications for Shannontrice.
The main problem is we have the "one soul" thing, not "two souls for three people." It's equally a dilemma in either case, as there's one who gets left out, but ep6 says only one of them can win, so...

Something about the series has been nagging at me for a while, but I'm not sure if it's because I haven't been paying attention or because we take it for granted. Why do we give Meta-related events and characters any credence at all? Are we supposed to take it for granted because it outlines the rules of the game board?
I realize the happenings in the Meta and the rather spotty barrier between the meta and the game board in the Chiru episodes is to shape our thoughts in the right direction, but it feels like we are constantly being told to think of this as a mystery and to be detectives in a situation where the story detectives directly interact with the people directing the story. Taking into consideration the rules the story claims to follow, how does a detective work with a narrative that a detective typically would not be presented with? Is this supposed to be an original and innovative storytelling tool for a mystery setting?
There was a lot of time spent arguing about red text and blue text ever since they were introduced, and what golden text meant, but does that contribute anything other than provide the reader a crutch to fall back on? A crutch made from dubious material, from dubious origin, and handed to you by characters the author has shown to be unstable, untrustworthy, or otherwise grounded in inexplicable systems shrouded from the reader yet to be introduced? Certainly we know to distrust what is presented to us but hasn't the Meta been used to condition us on what to trust and doubt?
Why not just read each game board as a mystery novel without paying heed to meta interludes and dismissing fantasy sequences as psychotic episodes? Why not just read each story from the perspective of the designated detective whose head we are in?

hmm...let me sum something up:
- "Yasu"
- "Lion"
- "Shannon-Prime"
- "Yasu-Shannon"
- "Yasu-Kanon"
- "Kanon-Prime"
- "Kanon-Shannon"
- "Beatrice"
Our job right now is how we create an equation from these pieces together so we can get closer to the truth.
The original single Shkanontrice theory goes like: Yasu=Yasu-Shannon=Yasu-Kanon=Beatrice, with both Shannon and Kanon-Prime separate entities if they exist at all, with the assumption made from ep.7 that Yasu=Lion.
But then again:
Will witnessed both Shannon and Lion exist as a different person at the same time at the chapel in the very beginning of ep.7. Also, it seems Will doesn't expect anything wrong with both Shannon and Kannon both existing at the same time until pointed out by Shannon.
This made me think that the current double Shkannon might not be so outrageous afterall. The double Shkannon equation would look like:
Shannon Prime's existence is doubted, Yasu=Yasu-Shannon, possibly our Beatrice and with Yasu-Kanon non-existent. Kanon-Prime=Kanon-Shannon.......something like that?

Since Lion and Yasu development in the two worlds is totally different then they exist as two different persons in that catbox.
How did you miss the part where Will says there are two culprits the "dead cat" and the "alive cat"? Even if we don't see it, at one point Lion faces her other self of the other world, and they are there at the same time. And that culprit had to be present in the chapel where Will was brought to.
So I really can't see how there can be any doubt about this issue. Why people insist that it's impossible for Lion to face her other self of another world where it's clearly shown that it's possible?
It is also quite evident that Shannon and Kanon do not exist in Lion's world and Lion does't exist in Shkanon's world. So no matter how you want to put it, they normally couldn't be found in the same universe, and the easiest explanation to this is that they are the same person.
As for each game I think that at this point simply using Will's statements I can solve 80% of them, with Yasu as the culprit.

Actually "double Shkannon theory" sounds misleading because it sounds that both Shannon and Kannon can switch each other's places, but actually Yasu as Shannon never crossdress as Kanon, while Kanon crossdress as Shannon once in a while, and this makes Kanon Yasu's accomplice. In the end, Yasu is still the ultimate culprit so it doesn't really sound that strange. Kanon could've agreed to help since as we've seen many times before Kanon thinks Shannon as his own sister, although sometimes he questions her too.
Edit: though yes, it seems in Lion's world, Lion doesn't react too familiar with the name "Shannon" and "Kannon". But, if that world is a closed cat box like Jan-Poo suggested, it could also be that the Shannon and Kannon represented there is the original Kanon who periodically crossdress as Shannon in the other worlds.
Edit2: also, Will already explained that the Dead Cat and the Alive Cat refer to Lion and Yasu, though I forgot which refers to which.

Well, since we are even discussing that someone is disguising as someone else (or that Shannon is actually both Shannon and Kanon), then we will always have the issue of fake boobs.
If you are willing to accept that single Shkannon stuffs their bra to make the illusion work, then you should be willing to accept that Kanon in double Kashannon stuffs their bra to make their illusion work.
But just about anything else, like red, clues and motive, is up for grabs.

The one thing made more difficult is motive, as now you have somebody proposing to the other that they do this, and the other actually having cause to do it. Granted, it more readily explains Kanon's turn to resistance of the plan, but not why he'd go along with the plan in the first place.

In my opinion, in some games he goes along with the murders for the sake of love with George (or Jessica), but in others he turns against Yasu-Shannon.

I sort of wonder about another angle this could take, because it seems out of place for Yasu-Shannon to go around killing people. I'm wondering if her play as Beatrice was some kind of trick she wanted to play on the adults so that by way X she could get closer to Battler. Somehow that trick goes wrong by adult X realizing/finding out who Beatrice really is, thus she becomes an unwilling accomplice to murder. Adult X could be Kyrie for all intents and purposes, since she is the smartest out of the bunch. Kyrie, wanting to take advantage of Beatrice's game with the other adults, sets out to murder the others knowing that if they figure out who Beatrice is (Shannon), they will stop looking for the true culprit?
That's just sort of what I've been sitting on since the end of arc 4. Minus the Yasu-part. I still wonder who the stakes are supposed to be. If Kyrie is the true culprit, then I wonder if she would still be the stake of envy in my old theory.

according to ep.7. the stakes are the servants
and other stakes may correspond to other servants we haven't seen. (also note that 音 can be read as -on, -non, or -ne)
also, I'm pretty sure I've seen Satan's sprite as a servant, though her name wasn't given or I forgot. It may or may not be Shannon.

Germaine Gemberling Live at Lee's
Germaine Gemberling is a singer-songwriter born and raised in St. Paul. She began studying music a child, and grew up in the midst of the indie-rock explosion that brought us the Replacements, Husker Du, Jayhawks and Soul Asylum. She fronted her first band at 17—the all-girl punk band SMUT—who signed to Spanish Fly/Twin-Tone Records in 1992. A few years later Germaine left the Twin Cities for the beauty and solitude of northern Minnesota. She performs with her folk-rock band, Junkboat, as well as acoustically with Rich Mattson and Ol' Yeller. Her most recent release, Generator, was recorded at Sparta Sound in 2013.
This program was recorded at Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis by Tom Garneau.
Africans in the Snow
A performance inspired by Africa and hosted by Ms. Kenna at Patrick's Cabaret in Minneapolis. This independently produced show featured spoken word, live music, dance and more, with a focus on the African diaspora. The theme "Africans in the Snow" comes from poem by Louis Alehemayu, who was inspired by a photograph of two Somali women in a snowy Minneapolis parking lot.

Volunteerism in Minnesota
Produced by Michelle Alimoradi
Altruism is proving to be something of a natural resource here in Minnesota, particularly in the Twin Cities. Since 2008, Minneapolis-St. Paul has come in first for rates of volunteerism per capita; and overall, has consecutively landed in the top five states. In this audio documentary, KFAI's Michelle Alimoradi explores what it means to volunteer in Minnesota. Mary Quirk, executive director of the Minnesota Association of Volunteer Administration (MAVA), and board member Judy Russell provide in-depth analysis of three local nonprofit organizations that rely heavily on volunteers. Jay Haapala, volunteer director at the Minnesota Children's Museum, talks about service-learning opportunities for high school and college students. Secondhand Hounds founder Rachel Mairose recounts "pro bone-o" services from the animal rescue's incredible volunteer pool. And One Brick offers a new way to connect volunteers with organizations.

On Wednesday, January 11th, I took the long journey over to APPRISE, a center for public policy research that is located on Nassau Street. As soon as I arrived, I was welcomed into the office and introduced to everyone over a breakfast table of bagels. At the start of the day, I shadowed a Policy Analyst named Jen who has been intently working on the National Weatherization Assistance Program Evaluation for quite some time. Other projects that she spoke to me about included the CFL Saturization Market Characterization in New York, followed by the Cell Phone Landline Study through which they would compare landline phones to cell phones. She then introduced me to the process of survey research which proceeds as follows: pretest, survey revisions, contacting of the phone center to program the survey in CATI, testing of the CATI, correcting the mistakes, writing memos to train interviewers, and checking in on the phone service to monitor calls. After giving me some background on survey construct methods, Jen talked to me about the indoor air quality and the staff survey parts of the Weatherization evaluation.
After receiving a wonderful background from Jen, I went over to shadow Brian. It was his last day at APPRISE, so he was attempting to finish up a report for the Weatherization Project. He told me about the goals of weatherization, in attempting to reduce energy costs and find ways to make the home more energy efficient based upon the auditor's inspection. During my time with Brian, I read over the report from the social scientist, which discussed how the auditor visits went, and the final inspection reports. Brian's current task was to write the reports for the WAP program for different states. He showed me how he transformed the report he obtained from the social scientist and from the weatherization expert into a summary report to provide to the agency.
Next, I shadowed Jeffrey who was working on the survey for the EEPS Workforce Development Program. In this survey, the main questions being asked were whether individuals had heard about the program or not, and if not, what would make them more interested. He introduced me to the idea of coding, and told me that if a question with verbatim responses had at least 5% of a selective response, they would create a new code for that response to clarify the analysis. He then showed me the disposition form, and told me that they use this to determine if they need to give the call center more sample in order to reach the desired number of survey completes. He explained that both APPRISE and the call center want to reach a certain number of completes in order to get the survey out of the field and begin the analysis process. The disposition form allows APPRISE to make sure the phone center is on track and performing correctly.
After the morning of shadowing, I went to lunch with Dan, Colleen, and Jeff at Theresa's in town.
Next, I shadowed Colleen, who talked to me about her Puget Sound Energy Survey, which examines home energy reports, and examining how much energy saving is double counted. She also described to me the specific details in the way that she, as a Policy Analyst, must edit the surveys,.
Finally, I shadowed Daya who talked about the National WAP evaluation that she is currently working on. She described the WIPP initiative that involves a set of funds that are put aside for innovative methods, different uses of technology, or different financing techniques to enhance energy efficiency. Her role was to do pre and post-weatherization surveys, field visits, and billing analysis. Daya further taught me some of the details of the Microsoft ACCESS she uses to maintain a relationship between charts and enter data. I discovered that the main differences between ACCESS and Excel are that it is easier to set up data entry forms, it minimizes errors, and it automatically saves your work.
Once I had shadowed all of the Policy Analysts that were in for the day, I did a debriefing with Daya and Colleen. Some things that were surprising to me were the low target for complete samples on various projects and how high success rates were for people whose households had been weatherized. In the debriefing, we discussed further the major objectives and responsibilities in APPRISE, concluding that sometimes their role is from the beginning with the evaluation plan, and sometimes they come in at the middle stage of a project to do the data processing.
Overall, I had a great time at APPRISE and I gained a wonderful insight into data processing and survey research. I never knew how much programming and specificity was incorporated in the process of getting surveys to a phone center to conduct to various individuals. I found the research performed at APPRISE fascinating and I would love to learn more about the subject matter and research methods in the future. I want to thank everyone at APPRISE for spending the time to show me what they were working on and for being such a welcoming group of people.

It is even rarer for one of the teams to be ranked in the South Region. The Bisons head into Saturday morning's Vanderbilt Invitational with the No. 15 spot in the South Region in a poll by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The Lady Bisons will compete at 9. The Bisons will run at 10. The races will be held at the Vaughn's Gap Course at Percy Warner Park.
A pancake breakfast sponsored by the Student Government Association and Student Involvement will begin at 8.
"We have talked about the ranking, but I learned a long time ago not to get too worked up about rankings," said Bill Taylor, Lipscomb's cross country and track coach. "Sometimes you are not ranked when you should and sometimes you are ranked when you shouldn't be.
"They are just a gauge. But for us it is great. What I am most surprised about is people outside of Lipscomb are noticing us."
This the second race of the season for the Bisons and Lady Bisons. The men were third and the women were eighth in the Belmont Opener.
Ryan Chastain, the team leader last season, missed the Belmont Opener to start the season. He is ready to go this weekend, but sickness and injuries have taken a toll on the men's team for this week.
"Our team is beat up and pretty sick overall," said Taylor. "Ryan should be pretty good, but I don't think he will be 100 percent this weekend."
Taylor is counting heavily on his freshmen to set the pace for the Bisons this season, especially Tim Muller, Ashton Fisher, Isaiah Greer and Jeff Musick.
"We have a special group of freshmen on this team," said Taylor. "They are more mature than I think most freshmen would be. "They are going run an 8-K for the first time, but I don't think it will be that tough. They are very competitive. They are excited to be here. They can really see what is possible here."
Taylor thinks that Chastain's return will be a plus for the freshmen as they run the 8-K distance.
"Muller should be right there," said Taylor. "Isaiah Greer has been a pleasant surprise. I knew he was decent runner, but he has really exploded and showed himself to be extremely tough.
"The freshmen, after this 8-K, should be stronger in the next one. It is psychological. Cross country is a painful endeavor. Mentally, you have to keep you mind on the race."
The women opened the season without Ashley Lehman and Catherine Beals. They are both expected to participate for the Lady Bisons.
"I think the women's team is getting stronger and stronger, but they are a different team mentally right now," said Taylor. "The guys are more aggressive and attack. The women are a bit more cautious so far.
"They don't necessarily need to be like the guys, but they need to be more aggressive and believe in themselves more. The women's team can be incredible by the end of the season, but they need to make decisions as a group to get them there."
Caitlin Anderson, an All-A-Sun performer, has taken the lead for the Lady Bisons. Taylor thinks that once the women make a few more adjustments there are several runners who could challenge for the top spot.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss. I must say he is one of my favorite children's books authors, and person with the most quotable quotes.
Seusville is the official site for everything trademarked Dr. Seuss it is owned and operated by Random House Children's Books. Lots of cool stuff to explore in Seusville.
You can find some history of Dr. Seuss on Wikipedia. You don't have to travel very far to find quotes from all your favorite Dr. Seuss books. I love spending time on this page trying to guess which book the quote comes from. Some of the quotes are more famous than the book that it is found in.
Want lesson plans for your favorite Dr. Seuss books, here are some great ones. Here are some more, and more.
The wealth of information out there is enormous, the problem I have is keeping it all in one week. I plan the week out by the book. I share the book then we do activities that are linked to the book. So, however you plan to spend your week, share a few of your favorites with your kids. Dr. Seuss is the man who made children's literature what it is today! So, go celebrate, I think our celebration is going to be in a box, with a fox, in a house with a mouse, or maybe in the rain on a train?
Don't forget to stop and make a pledge for Read Across America.

Epidural anesthesia refers to the placement of a catheter into the spinal space to administer medication to numb the abdomen and legs.
Reasons for Procedure
An epidural is used to decrease pain during labor. An epidural directly affects the nerves that come from your spinal cord. It numbs the pain in the lower half of your body. It will also help to relieve the lower back pain that is often associated with childbirth.
After an epidural, you should no longer be able to feel:
- Intense pain with your labor contractions
- Lower back pain
- Episiotomy (if needed) or vaginal tears from labor
- Incision in your abdomen, if cesarean section (C-section) is needed
Possible Complications
An epidural may make labor take longer. It may also increase the chance that you are not able to feel your contractions or feelings to push. If this happens, the medication can be decreased until some feeling returns.
An epidural can lower the mother's blood pressure. This can affect the amount of oxygen that reaches you and your baby. Before an epidural is given, you will be given IV fluids. The baby's heart rate will be watched with a fetal heart rate monitor attached to your body. You will be positioned on your left side, so that your enlarged uterus will not compress the large blood vessels returning blood to your heart.
You may have a headache after having an epidural. This can be treated.
You cannot have epidural anesthesia if the following occurs:
- Low platelet counts
- Blood is too thin because of blood thinners
- Bleeding (hemorrhaging) or you are in shock
- Serious infection in your back or blood
- Labor is moving too fast and there is no time to place the catheter to administer the drug
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate will be monitored. Your baby's heart rate will be checked. Before an epidural can be placed, IV fluids will be started.
Description of the Procedure
You will need to arch your back and remain very still. You will either be lying on your side or sitting up. The area around your waistline on your middle back will be wiped with an antiseptic solution to reduce the chance of infection. The solution may feel cold on your skin. A small area on your back will be injected with a local anesthetic to make it numb. A needle will be inserted into the numbed area in your lower back. A catheter (small tube) will be threaded through the needle into the space that surrounds your spinal cord in your lower back. The needle will be removed and the catheter taped to your back. The catheter will be used to put more medicine in, if necessary.
Immediately After Procedure
After the epidural is placed in your back, you will need to move from side to side. Doctors will attach a belt that monitors the heart rate of your baby. You may experience the following side effects:
- Shivering
- Ringing in your ears
- Backache
- Soreness where the needle is inserted
- Nausea
- Difficulty urinating
How Long Will It Take?
The initial numbing of the walls of the uterus will take only a few minutes. You should feel the full effect of the pain relief within 20 minutes after the catheter is placed. Additional doses of medication can be given through the catheter so that the numbness lasts until the baby is born.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Placing the needle into your back may hurt a little bit. Most people feel only a little pressure as the catheter is placed in the lower back.
Post-procedure Care
- If labor continues for more than a few hours after the epidural, you may need a urinary catheter. This is a tube that your urine will pass through when you need to go to the bathroom. It will be removed after the baby is born.
- Rarely, the effect of the epidural may progress up your spinal cord causing difficulty in breathing. Tell your doctor if you experience this.
- A few hours after the baby is born, you may feel a tingling in the lower half of you body. This means that the anesthesia is wearing off. You may need help to walk until the anesthesia wears off completely.
- If you have a headache, let your nurse or doctor know.
Call Your Doctor
The epidural will have worn off before you go home. Call your doctor if you have:
- Lingering or worsening back pain
- Severe headache
- Signs of infection such as redness or swelling
Revision Information

Megan's Tempeh Reubens Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Recipe: Tempeh Reubens
Category: Vegetarian
How long does it take? 30 minutes, tops. Often more like 20.
Name: Megan
Why is it a favorite meal? It feels so special, and yet it is insanely simple. Like any really good sandwich. It also needs no accompaniment, but goes great with my other favorite weeknight quickie–sweet potato fries.
Tempeh Reubens
Makes 2 sandwiches.
Easily doubled (or more), and actually quite good for repurposed leftovers the next day (this tempeh makes a nice side with rice and vegetables, too).
For the tempeh:
1 8oz. package of your favorite tempeh
1/4 c olive oil
1 T toasted sesame oil
1 T tamari
1/4 t paprika
1 dash chili flake
1/4 t thyme (fresh or dried)
1 medium garlic clove, crushed or minced
you'll also need sauerkraut and cheese to complete this sandwich, and exactly how much of each depends upon both your appetite and your personal favorites. I like about 1/3-1/2 c sauerkraut and 1-2 slices swiss cheese for each sandwich.
For the dressing:
1/3 c mayo (ok to sub vegan mayo)
1 T ketchup
1/2 T Annie's Goddess Dressing (optional)
Heat 1 T olive oil in your favorite skillet. Whisk together the olive oil, sesame oil, tamari, spices, herbs, and garlic. Cut tempeh into pieces about the size of a pack of playing cards, and then split them so they are about 1/4 inch thick. Dip the slices into the marinade (just turning to coat them–don't let them sit or they turn crumbly), then place into hot oiled pan and cook on medium high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.
When tempeh slices are golden, whisk 1 T water to your leftover marinade, and pour the mixture into your skillet. Lower the heat. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes more, then remove the lid and allow the tempeh to crisp up for just another minute. Set it aside and make the dressing.
To make dressing, stir together the mayo, ketchup and Goddess Dressing, if using. These sandwiches also taste fine with good mustard and mayo, but the dressing really makes it feel like an event.
Now assemble the sandwich: Heat skillet (a clean one) on medium heat. Take 2 pieces of your favorite sandwich bread, and butter one slice. Slather about 1 T dressing on the inside of each piece of bread. Top the unbuttered bread with 2 pieces of tempeh. On top of that, spread out your desired amount of sauerkraut and top with your preferred amount and type of cheese. Place the buttered bread on top of your sandwich filling and drop about a small pat of butter into your warm skillet. Place the sandwich on the melting butter, unbuttered bread side down, of course, and cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes. Using a spatula and some courage, flip the sandwich and allow the other side to brown.
Serve sliced in half with a little extra dressing.
Thanks Megan, and good luck! Readers, give Megan a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

If a Lifetime movie had a one-night stand with a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, and their Afterschool Special love child were weaned on a steady diet of "Teen Mom," "Davey and Goliath" and "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," it might grow up to look a little something like "Gimme Shelter."
If a Lifetime movie had a one-night stand with a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, and their Afterschool Special love child were weaned on a steady diet of "Teen Mom," "Davey and Goliath" and "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," it might grow up to look a little something like "Gimme Shelter."
On the surface, it's the story of 16-year-old pregnant runaway Agnes (Vanessa Hudgens), who prefers to be called Apple. But writer-director Ron Krauss mostly uses Agnes/Apple as a way to celebrate the work of real-life humanitarian Kathy DiFiore (Ann Dowd), who was homeless before getting back on her feet and founding a shelter for girls who want to keep their babies. "Gimme Shelter" is even populated with actual shelter mothers which, to be as kind as possible, is glaringly obvious from their performances.
When we first meet Agnes/Apple, she's chopping off her hair in the bathroom of a unit of one of those rundown buildings that may be a skeevy motel, may be a sketchy apartment complex, but is most certainly nowhere you'd want to spend a couple of minutes, let alone the night.
She quietly reassures herself that she's not scared before embarking on one of what we'll come to learn have been several attempts to escape the grasp of her junkie mother, June (Rosario Dawson), who only wants her around for the welfare money.
After a violent confrontation in the lobby, during which June throws in a "Mommy loves you" or two in between calling her a whore and a slut, Agnes/Apple makes her way to a lush estate, where she crawls under the gate and is promptly arrested. She's so unkempt that, with her prominent neck tattoo, multiple piercings and the new homemade 'do that makes her resemble a younger version of "Entourage's" Vinnie Chase, the police are surprised to find out she's a girl.
But Agnes/Apple isn't there to rob the place. She's just looking for Tom (Brendan Fraser), the Wall Street bigwig dad she never knew, and "a place to stay for a lil bit." Street tough and practically feral, Agnes/Apple doesn't exactly fit in with their white-bread world. When she learns she's pregnant, Tom urges her to "turn the page" on that part of her life. His icy wife, Joanna (Stephanie Szostak), schedules an abortion for the next day. And when Agnes/Apple protests that she's not sure that's what she wants, Joanna sneers, "It's not about what you want, honey."
It's all so cartoonishly dastardly, it's a wonder Joanna doesn't just skip the clinic altogether in favor of twirling her mustache and tying Agnes/Apple to some railroad tracks to let an oncoming train take care of things.
Agnes/Apple runs away yet again and is shown breaking into cars for warmth and eating out of dumpsters before ending up handcuffed to a hospital bed. There, she meets a kindly chaplain (James Earl Jones), whom she initially rebuffs. "God don't care about me. Don't waste your time," she says, echoing a scene from pretty much every faith-based movie ever.
Before long, though, Agnes/Apple moves into DiFiore's shelter, where the movie tries mightily to establish a bond among her and the other residents. Little of it, though, feels real. The scene in which the girls break into DiFiore's office to read their case files mostly exists so the characters can throw out a laundry list of horrors: prostitution, drug use, rape, personality disorders, chronic depression and mental and physical abuse. Agnes/Apple herself was abused and molested, taken to a mental hospital when she was 8 and had lived in 10 foster homes by the age of 12. She's even shown being attacked by her mother with a razor blade in a church.
Filmed in 2011, "Gimme Shelter" was Hudgens' first onscreen attempt at blowing up her "High School Musical" image, something she accomplished to greater effect in last year's "Spring Breakers." You can tell she wanted it to be great, serious work, and she uglies herself up to be taken seriously. But as the marble-mouthed Agnes/Apple, she spends too much of the movie wrestling with an accent that refuses to be tamed.
Her characters' parents were teenagers who barely knew each other when she was conceived, which makes Fraser about a decade too old for the part.
And the ending is not only insulting but borderline reckless.
"Gimme Shelter" resembles the sort of thing that's usually screened at churches before passing a collection plate. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It just feels out of place on the big screen.
And it certainly means well, virtually to a fault.
Because the road to movie hell is often paved with good intentions.

Mary Elizabeth Cooley Fry, 87, of Hutchinson, died Dec. 19, 2012 at Hester Care Center.
Mary Elizabeth Cooley Fry, 87, of Hutchinson, died Dec. 19, 2012 at Hester Care Center. She was born Nov. 24, 1925 in Cunningham, Kan. She was one of four children born to Glen Waldo Cooley and Beatrice Jones Cooley. She attended school at Cunningham and graduated in 1944. To fulfill her desire of becoming a nurse, Mary joined the United States Army Cadel Corp and graduated from William Newton Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in 1947 as a Registered Nurse.
On Dec. 20, 1946, she married the love of her life, Milton Shannon Fry. They were blessed with three children: James Milton Fry and his wife Jean, El Dorado, Marilee Ann Kruse and husband Al Kruse, Sterling, and Timothy Shannon Fry and his wife Connie Schrock-Fry, Emporia; a sister, Eugenia Wise-Moore, Derby; several beloved nieces, nephew, and cousins. In addition, six grandchildren, Jamie Ann Fry, Amie Kruse Long, Lori Elizabeth Kruse Raile, Erin Shannon Kruse Perkins, Hayley Loree Fry Jones, and Matthew Shannon Fry kept them busy through the years, as they attended band concerts, sports events, church and school programs. She was also blessed with five great-grandchildren, Colton Kruse Raile, Lucas Reid Raile, Carter James Long, Avery Ann Long, and Elayna Loree Jones.
Mary proudly served in the nursing profession in hospitals in Winfield, Lawrence, Newton and Hutchinson. She retired after serving Dr. John Mull in the Hutchinson Clinic for 15 years. Every patient who would see her outside the clinic would comment on her sweet, caring nature. After retirement, she was a volunteer for the Blood Mobile and as a "reader" in Hutchinson grade schools.
Trinity United Methodist Church played an important role in Milton and Mary's life. They were active members of the D.U.O. Sunday School class. Mary folded bulletins and newsletters for many years on Thursday mornings, but the love of her church life was singing in the chancel choir for over 40 years. Although she has not been able to sing the last two years, almost every Wednesday, the commented on how she missed singing in the choir. Thank you, Bill Anschutz and choir, for lovingly including her in your choir family.
Mary and Milton traveled extensively, visiting all 50 states, Canada, Ireland, and England. Their Good Sams camping club was a highlight of their retirement years.
A memorial service will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Trinity United Methodist Church with Rev. Mike McGuire presiding. Burial will be in the Maud Cemetery, Cunningham at 2 p.m., with Rev. Jim Rhaesa presiding. Visitation will 2 to 9 p.m. on Friday, with the family greeting friends Friday, from 6 to 8 p.m., all at Elliott Mortuary. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Trinity United Methodist Church Chancel Choir, or the D.U.O. Sunday school class, or to the Wesley Towers Good Samaritan Fund, sent in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, Kansas 67501. Friends may visit www.elliottmortuary.com to leave a condolence for the family.

Season ends, but Pirates' revival just beginning
ST. LOUIS -- As is his custom, Clint Hurdle began having exit interviews with his Pirates in mid-September.
It is a source of Hurdle's greatest pride that the players delayed their actual exit for a month, until they were collectively shown the door after a 6-1 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series.View Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- As is his custom, Clint Hurdle began having exit interviews with his Pirates in mid-September.
It is a source of Hurdle's greatest pride that the players delayed their actual exit for a month, until they were collectively shown the door after a 6-1 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Division Series.View Full Game Coverage
"We can't let this one game define our year," said Andrew McCutchen, who has a very good chance to come away from it with the NL Most Valuable Player Award. "Because we had an amazing year, a year to remember, a year that is going to go down forever as the one that turned around the franchise."
So Wednesday night hurt. Thursday will come with pain, too. There is actually pleasure in that, because it is the pain of privilege.
"It ended too soon," noted general manager Neal Huntington, "but yes, we earned the right to feel this pain."
And it comes with a bookmark. Managers of all postseason losers tell their teams the same thing. And now Hurdle was able to tell his players: "Don't forget this feeling. Come back next year and build on it."
Beyond the immediate murk, the horizon is bright for a team that won 94 games and won over a city that spent the summer dreading, and the autumn raising Jolly Rogers higher and blacker than ever before.
After all, this is the team that changed the definition of Bucs baseball.
"It's good knowing that we are the team that made the change in this franchise, not the team that lost again," McCutchen said. "We're the team that won. We can take a lot of pride in that; we were that team, we can hold our heads high. We should all remember that we are that team. It means a lot to me. This only feels like a beginning for us.
"It will be good for us. We didn't end up where we wanted to end up -- but a lot of teams didn't end up where we did. We've come a long way. We opened the eyes of a lot of people, not just in Pittsburgh but around the country. It's definitely just our beginning."
"We were able to take a huge step forward in restoring the pride and the passion of the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization, and rebonding our city with a ball team," Hurdle said. "It was evident during the [NL] Wild Card Game and through the playoffs ... the hunger and the passion that our fans have for their local team.
"So as I shared with the men in the locker room, their futures individually and collectively are in good hands. All they've got to do is look at the end of their arms, because that's where their hands are. They've worked their backsides off this year, and I'm proud of each and every one of them."
"Everybody is going to decompress a little bit," said Gerrit Cole, the rookie pitcher who took the loss in 2013's final game, but who also personifies the future, "then I'm sure everybody's going to get excited about showing up for Spring Training and getting after it, and just keep getting better. We'll all be homing at the bits to do that."
Not everybody, because not everybody in that clubhouse will be back. Certain of returning is the core of the team, and even a bitterly disappointed Neil Walker was able to look ahead after his personally difficult (0-for-19) NLDS.
"We certainly did not reach our goals," Walker said, "but we came pretty darn close. We exceeded a lot of expectations, but we believed in ourselves and what we were doing. So there's a lot of good things to look forward to in 2014."
Some of the team's veteran players will be in limbo. Others are more certain of never again wearing a Pirates uniform, and for them, the end was tougher to take.
"It's tough to talk about the postseason being over," said Clint Barmes, tears welling in the corners of his eyes, "because we definitely had the talent to go deeper into October and compete for a ring.
"But this team," added Barmes, who likely will bequeath his shortstop position to Jordy Mercer and try to find a regular role elsewhere, "is going to be something to watch in the years ahead. There is so much talent here. They'll be exciting."
"We are gaining so much experience on so many different levels. We are becoming tougher," Hurdle said. "These are lessons that will be put in play for years after this for these men as well. So I like the way they're showing up with a business mindset about going about it."
"This was one of our stepping-stones," McCutchen said, "and we have to take it in a positive manner. If you haven't failed, you haven't lived."
They lived it up in 2013. In '14, they will light it up again.

Stephen Harper's complete failure to read the mood of Canadians in these trying times will be his undoing. Canadians won't buy his latest attempt to distract from his failings and they will demand better. And Liberals aren't sitting idly by as Steve V noted, donations have flooded in since the Cons desperate ad buy hit the air. But I think we can do one better in making sure that the only purpose these ads serve is to fill our coffers. I'm reminded of a donation campaign started awhile ago in the U.S. to create an incentive for Republicans to give up their futile endless court challenges (which are still ongoing) in the race for the Minnesota Senate seat which Al Franken has won. The campaign is called Normdollar.com: A Dollar A Day to Make Norm Go Away. The idea is you can sign up to make donations of $1 a day that end the minute Norm Coleman finally concedes. The Democratic Party establishment didn't exactly take on this campaign themselves, but that's no reason the Liberal Party can't launch a similar campaign here.
Surely we can set up a recurring donation system equivalent to donating $1 a day (even if that's $30 a month) that ends the month after the Conservative ads go off the air.
What do you think, would you donate a dollar a day until the Conservative ads go away?
In the meantime, you know where to go.

Whoa. We heard there was going to be some pretty cool stuff at CES this year, but this is something we were definitely not expecting. Russian startup Displair is showing off a machine capable of illuminating a touch display powered by just mist. Put away that Gorilla Glass, Corning Inc. This is something else.
The Displair technology works by bouncing the reflection of an iPad screen to project onto the wall of misty air. Using sensors within the Displair machine and in front of the projector, the device can read where your fingers are moving to recreate the nature of physically controlling a touchscreen. All you have to do is stick your fingers through the mist to push or swipe. "Play with air," as the company slogan says. Of course, the nature of mist versus LED screens mean Displair is essentially more energy efficient, and the added benefits of mist in a room helps to moisturize skin and air. All this with just about 0.4 gallons (1.5 liters) of water per hour depending on the room humidity levels.
From what we can see at CES, the colors are vibrant and accurate, but because the machine is constantly blowing mist, some of the images can get obscured. For example, we sampled Fruit Ninja on the device (and we all know Natt Garun loves a good round of Fruit Ninja) and while the slicing actions were mostly accurate, it was hard to see what the current score or remaining time was. Additionally, practicality seems to be an issue as the machine is more of a one-time-use kind of deal rather than aiming to replace tablets. However, for parties and special events, Displair seems cutting edge enough to make your next event extra buzzworthy.
Displair is currently available for rent in Russia at approximately $1,000 per day, and the machine will be available by the end of the year for about $12,000.

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz
Re: Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (File No. S7-43-02)
Dear Mr. Katz:
Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") is pleased to have the opportunity to respond to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") regarding the proposals set forth in Release No. 33-8145 and 34-46788 ("Releases"). The Company is a self-administered and self-managed publicly traded real estate investment trust which specializes in multifamily property management, advisory, development, acquisition, disposition, operation and ownership activities.
The Company supports the Commission's efforts to reform the use of Non-GAAP financial measures by public companies. We agree with the need to improve the transparency and quality of public disclosures, including pro forma financial information. We agree with most of the Commission's proposals relating to the use of Non-GAAP financial measures. However, the Company is concerned that one aspect of the proposals could be counterproductive to the interests of investors. Associated Estates Realty Corporation opposes the Commission's proposal that would prohibit the use of Non-GAAP per share information in corporate earnings releases.
The Company supports the Commission's proposal that any Non-GAAP financial measure must be reconciled with the comparable GAAP measure. Additionally, we agree that any comparable GAAP measure must be presented with equal or greater prominence of the comparable non-GAAP measure.
However, we use a non-GAAP measure, Funds From Operations (FFO), as an important supplemental indicator of our company's operating profitability. Reporting FFO, as well as other Non-GAAP measures, on only an absolute basis, not on a per-share basis, would be inappropriate since the issuance of shares or the repurchase of shares could affect the absolute measure. Additionally, investors have advised us that these Non-GAAP per-share measures, including Funds From Operations and Net Asset Value, are important supplemental indicators of a real estate company's operating profitability and financial condition.
We recommend that the final rule allow per share reporting of non-GAAP measures and require that both the numerator (the non-GAAP measure) and the denominator (the applicable diluted number of shares) be reconciled to GAAP net income and the number of diluted shares used to calculate GAAP net income per share respectively. This position agrees with the alternative suggested in "Questions regarding amendments to Item 10 of Regulation S-K, Item 10 of Regulation S-B and Form 20-F" of the Release.
Associated Estates Realty Corporation thanks the Commission for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. Please contact Lou Fatica at (216) 261-5000 if you have any questions regarding this letter.

A few days ago I finally finished my consolidation period. I've had a week to readjust to non-nursing life, which involved not waking up and sleeping and random hours of the day and constantly thinking about when I could nap next for the longest amount of time. It was especially difficult to get out of night shift schedule and fight the temptation to stay up until 0400 doing nothing and then not waking up utterly confused and disoriented at 1500-ish. Instead, I've been trying to get out of nursing jet lag and catching up with friends and family. I vowed to myself that I would not think too much about hospital life and nursing, but I failed. Instead, I delighted my non-nursing friends with great anecdotes like describing the appearance and odour of C. diff stool (green, mucusy and smells like rotten death) and how fast blood can ooze out of places that were previously held PICC lines. Seeing their green faces and frantic attempts to avert their gaze towards anything and anyone but myself reminded me that in the normal world, graphic descriptions of bodily fluids and odours are not tolerated well.
Even mundane chores like cleaning are reminding me of my nurse-self – so far I've found enough alcohol swabs to open my own store, medical tape, a few pieces of sterile gauze, endless amount of post-its with vital signs and room numbers, a few stolen pens (I've told my colleagues repeatedly – if you leave a pen near me, it will be mine), two 3 ml syringes, and a butterfly. I had no intention of taking these things home with me (except for maybe the pens) but since I'm too lazy to go back to my unit to return them, I'll keep them as a souvenir of my time in consolidation.
On the other hand, it is getting much easier to indulge a few other loves of mine – namely reading magazines (give Bitch a chance) and baking. In fact, I've made an amazing carrot cake and banana bread so far. This leads to yet another point – ironically, I ate much healthier when I was working but now that I'm at home (and baking), I need to sample my creations (for umm… quality control purposes). My treadmill in the dungeon (the basement) will be paid a reluctant visit soon.
But while I'm glad that consolidation is over (working full time for free is not conducive to having a life that needs occasional bursts of consumerism), I'm scared of joining the 'real' world of nursing. For the past few months I've practiced under my teacher's license which provided me with a palpable sense of security. Now that that security is gone, I'm shaking in my boots about having to be solely responsible for the consequences of my decisions. But the increased pay (from $0/hr to $more/hr) should help alleviate some of those anxieties!

The 30-year-old Boardwalk Empire actor and the 29-year-old model welcomed their baby girl Sage Lavinia Huston on Saturday (April 6) in New York City.
The couple have been together for two years and announced back in October that they were expecting a child.

People was first to report the exciting news.
