All updates for this rule:
The proposed rule is needed to clarify the department's rules and policies around payment of temporary partial disability, also known as loss of earning power or LEP. The department's rules currently provide payment of LEP to medical fixity, which occurs when no fundamental or marked change in an accepted condition can be expected, with or without treatment. However, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals has consistently held in significant decisions that LEP is to be paid until legal fixity, or claim closure.
The rulemaking effort is in response to Chapter 280, Laws of 2008 (E2SHB 3139). These rules will be reviewed for changes to ensure consistency with the new law as well as make any other changes that may be needed for clarification purposes.
The proposed rulemaking will assist in the implementation of Chapter 297, Laws of 2007 (SHB 1244). The proposed rulemaking will amend existing rules that conflict with the law and may include new rules that clarify when the employers contribution for health care benefits is included in the workers monthly wage.
The proposed rules will assist in the implementation of Chapter 77, Laws of 2007 (SSB 5443). The proposed rulemaking will: Define bona fide workplace safety and accident prevention program and first aid, and establish the penalty structure for employers when there is a finding of claim suppression. Consideration will be given to when and how employers may be required to notify workers of a finding of claim suppression. In addition, the rulemaking may address additional issues identified in the rule development process.

The Tribune-Star
Build it… and they will come. The Missouri Valley Conference and Indiana State University made that famous line from the movie "Fields Of Dreams" reality Thursday.
The MVC announced that ISU will host the 2014 MVC Baseball Tournament at Bob Warn Field. The Sycamores successfully out-bid Wichita State for the tournament and won the right to host it by a 6-2 vote by MVC Joint Committee, which is comprised of university administrators.
ISU has not hosted the MVC Baseball Tournament since 1982 – the only time it had previously hosted the event.
"We're all excited and happy they voted to give us the tournament. When the commitment was made by the administration to build the facility, this was something we had in mind," ISU baseball coach Rick Heller said.
ISU found out it would host the MVC Tournament two weeks ago, but waited until the MVC made public all of its 2013-14 tournament sites before going public with it. Baseball will be the only MVC Tournament sport ISU will host in 2013-14.
ISU bid a $25,000 guarantee to host the tournament. It will also have to reserve hotel blocs for opposing teams.
ISU has bid for the MVC Tournament in every season since Bob Warn Field was renovated in time for the 2010 season. Bids in 2011, 2012 and 2013 proved unsuccessful. ISU Senior Women's Administrator Angie Lansing, who represents ISU on the MVC championships committee, made the pitch for ISU.
"I just pitched what a great facility we have and that our community will embrace it. We have great hotel partners. Many are corporate sponsors. That was huge," Lansing said.
"I think the fact that [ISU] is another alternative in the Valley, another location, and the fact we haven't hosted plays in everyone's mind," she added.
Lansing also said the MVC's Student Athletic Advisory Committee, a group intended to give student-athletes more say into some MVC decisions, played a role in the championship site vote for several sports.
Wichita State hasn't hosted the tournament since 2010 and was considered a favorite by outsiders to regain the tournament.
"I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought there was a chance it would get awarded to Wichita. When Greg [Walter, MVC Assistant Commissioner for Institutional Services] read off our name, I did a private little celebration. I think ultimately, surprised or not, more people voted for us, and from that perspective, there wasn't much surprise [in the room]," Lansing said.
Indiana State and Terre Haute have experience hosting major athletic events. ISU hosted the NCAA Cross Country Nationals from 2003-11 and the Nationals will return in November after one year at Louisville. ISU has recently hosted MVC track and field and women's golf championships.
Though the improvements made at Warn Field made it possible to host the tournament, the facility will no doubt be subject to scrutiny from the rest of the league.
The facility meets the minimum requirements set by the MVC and the successful bid was done with the facility "as is." Still, Warn Field lacks amenities that have unofficially been considered standard at MVC Tournaments of the recent past.
Warn Field does not have clubhouses for both teams, nor a bathroom on the third base side. It does not have a permanent building to host hospitality facilities and the press box is considered very small considering the amount of television, radio, print and university staff that typically attend the event.
ISU is cognizant of this. ISU Director of Athletics Ron Prettyman will meet with ISU President Daniel Bradley within the next month to discuss improvements to the facility. The hope is that the successful bid for the tournament could be a catalyst to make further improvements to the facility.
"It wasn't true for a long time here, but most facilities are works in progress. There's always a little bit more to do. We found that out with the baseball facility," Prettyman said.
"It was a night and day difference the first day we played, but we later realized there were some more things that needed to be done. We did the outfield, we upgraded some other things. As we get closer to the championship, there will be more things that need to be done," he added.
Prettyman said the press box is a priority and it "must be addressed." He said the commitment is there to do it, but that how to do it hasn't been decided yet.
ISU will be the second "non-traditional" MVC baseball host in as many seasons. Illinois State, which will host the MVC Tournament next week, might serve as a sort of litmus test for ISU. Illinois State's Duffy Bass Field was remodeled in 2011, but some of the same concerns that will no doubt be projected onto ISU have been cast upon Illinois State as well.
In the end, Prettyman feels winning the tournament is not only a boon for ISU, but for Terre Haute itself.
"There will be thousands of people coming to this event between players, coaches and fans. They'll stay in our hotels and eat in our restaurants. It's good for our town. It's going to be a part of moving the baseball culture of Terre Haute forward," Prettyman said.

Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — With LeBron James playing at his best level yet, the Miami Heat powered into the All-Star break with a reminder to the Oklahoma City Thunder that the NBA championship still resides on South Beach.
James had 39 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, and narrowly missed extending his record-setting streak of high-scoring games combined with top-notch accuracy, as the Heat trampled Oklahoma City 110-100 in a Thursday night showcase.
James was in position to continue his NBA record run of games with at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting to seven, but missed from a couple steps beyond the 3-point line as the shot clock ran down with just over a minute left and Miami up 10.
That dropped him to 14 for 24 in the game, or 58 percent. All that mattered to him, though, was that Miami's winning streak reached a season-best seven straight games — and the Heat beat the Thunder for the sixth time in a row, dating to last year's NBA Finals.
"Winning is hard to come by in professional sports. That's what it's about," James said. "Sixty percent doesn't matter. Winning is all that matters."
Chris Bosh chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who won the last four games of last season's Finals after losing Game 1 in Oklahoma City and continued their dominance in the series after winning on their home court on Christmas Day.
"I thought we imposed our will, playing our style of basketball," said Dwyane Wade, who had 13 points and eight assists before fouling out with 3:29 to play.
"But have their number? No, we're not feeling that way. We've just won two games against them. That's it."
Kevin Durant had 40 points and eight rebounds, but missed his first seven shots as Oklahoma City fell hopelessly behind. After the slow start, he wound up making half of his 24 shots — going 8 for 10 in the fourth quarter to get Oklahoma City within 108-100 after trailing by as much as 23.
It wasn't enough to measure up against James, who beat him in last year's MVP race and then the Finals before the two won a gold medal together at the London Olympics.
"It's fun. I take on the challenge every time we're playing," Durant said. "He had a great game. He was making some tough shots, man — one-leggers, fadeaways in corners, 3s. So, you've got to tip your hat to that.
"I just wanted to keep putting pressure on him. I missed a few and then I started to hit in the fourth. I just tried to will my team back in the game, but it didn't work."
Russell Westbrook had 26 points and 10 assists, with six turnovers, for the Thunder. He had 20 points in the first half to keep Oklahoma City from getting run out of its own gym.
Despite playing without injured starting forward Udonis Haslem (leg) and then losing two starters to foul trouble in the first 6 minutes, the Heat took control by scoring 11 straight points midway through the first quarter and went up 28-13 when Ray Allen made the free throw after Durant drew his 11th technical foul of the season.

On paper we win this, but on paper we should've also won against Philadelphia and Sacramento. It's a matchup of the third and fourth highest scoring teams, and the worst and third-worst defensive teams. The Warriors have 17 wins on the season and have lost six straight by an average of 10.2 points.

Or if you leave it unattended for too long...
I didn't think that mattered... how long unattended? I assumed it would just sleep until the battery dies. I've accidentally left mine powered on on my desktop for days, and when I went back and noticed, I touched the shutter and the screen came back on.
That's true !!!
After I read replies about "...leaving it for too long" I told myself "that might be it" so I tested it again pressing the shutter button halfway right when the screen turned off but again it didn't turn back on
It's not a big deal but so annoying to me. It's not a cheap camera and you expect something as simple as this works flawlessly :p

Many Americans recycle today and more say they are educated on environmental issues than ever before. Still, levels of recycling could be increased greatly, despite heightened visibility of public recycling receptacles and the existence of curbside programs in about 60% of communities. In 2011, Americans generated approximately 250 million tons of trash and recycled and composted 87 million tons of this material, equivalent to a 34.7% recycling rate.
The Recycling campaign, sponsored by Keep America Beautiful, aims to reinvigorate the recycling brand. The campaign will also generate awareness, explain how and where to recycle, mobilize individual ownership and emotional connection to recycling through community building, and transform recycling into a daily social norm. The campaign shows consumers that their recyclable materials want to be something more, and promotes recycling as a way to give garbage another life.

In places such as Murrieta, California, and Oracle, Arizona, the message is clear: Thousands of immigrant children fleeing Central America are unwelcome in Small Town U.S.A.
The children, many of them arriving unaccompanied from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, have traveled up to 3,000 miles across deserts and rivers, clinging to the tops of trains.
They sometimes face rape and beatings at the hands of "coyotes," smugglers who are paid thousands of dollars to sneak them across the southern border with Mexico.
Earlier this month in Murrieta, busloads of babies in their mothers' laps, teens, 'tweens and toddlers were turned back from a detainee facility.
They were met by screaming protesters waving and wearing American flags and bearing signs that read such things as "Return to Sender."
And so it goes. Southwest border towns, West Coast suburbs, and middle-America enclaves have become the newest battleground in the vitriolic political debate over immigration.
The showdowns highlight the scope and depth of challenges the Obama administration grapples with as officials try to use immigration-related fixes to resolve what politicians on both sides of the aisle have called "a humanitarian crisis."
Here's a snapshot of how things are playing out across the country:
Arizona: In Oracle, a town of roughly 3,700, protesters faced off Tuesday at Sycamore Canyon Academy, a nearby boys ranch that is to be used as a temporary housing facility for the immigrant minors, according to CNN affiliate KOLD.
Protesters representing both sides of the debate screamed and waved signs reading such things as "Send 'em to Coyote Obama," according to video from CNN affiliate KPNX. One man trumpeted a Mariachi-version of the "Star-Spangled Banner" as people around him yelled. Protesters even tried to stop a bus of kids from the local YMCA , which they had mistaken as the immigrant children. But the Central American children never arrived, according to media reports.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said accepting the unaccompanied juvenile immigrants only encourages more to come.
"Their very hope was realized when we took them in. Nobody was turned back and what I believe, and I think a lot of Americans would agree, is instead of accepting these 90,000, they should have -- the humanitarian way to address this is reunite them with their families and their country of origin because this 90,000 is going to be hundreds of thousands," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo Wednesday.
"These children should be returned to their home country -- not to Oracle, Arizona, paid for by American taxpayers," Babeu said earlier in a statement on the department's Facebook page.
California: In sharp contrast to the reception similar children received in Murrieta, Central American immigrant children have been welcomed by the community of Fontana.
Just over 40 immigrants on Homeland Security buses arrived at the St. Joseph's Catholic Church there on Thursday and were greeted by staff and community donations of food, clothing and toys, according to CNN affiliate KTLA.
And a group of California state lawmakers headed to Central America on Monday to discuss the surge of immigrant children with leaders from that region, according to CNN affiliate KCRA.
Texas: Protestors in Waco, Texas, meanwhile, are demanding better conditions for the 250 men from El Salvador being held at the Jack Harwell Detention Center, according to CNN affiliate KCEN.
And the League City, Texas, City Council approved a proposal banning the housing or detention of undocumented immigrants within the city at a recent meeting, according to KHOU.
New Mexico: In Artesia, New Mexico, hundreds of residents turned out for a contentious town hall meeting to decry the hundreds of women and children being housed at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, a facility that also trains Border Patrol agents, according to CNN affiliate KOAT.
Iowa: Gov. Terry Branstad told CNN affiliate WHO on Monday that he does not want federal officials to send Central American children to his state, adding that by accepting them, the United States is sending "a signal to send kids illegally."
Some local aid groups are appalled.
"My God. This is a humanitarian crisis," said Kathleen McQuillen, the Iowa Program Director of American Friends Service Committee.
McQuillen's group, a Quaker-based organization, questions how the country could spend trillions on war and not have the pennies on those dollars to spend to take care of children in dire need.
She said, "It's a simple thing to begin to say, what's important in this world?"
Nebraska: At a National Governors Association meeting in Nashville earlier this month, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman complained that federal officials did not notify him that they were placing hundreds of immigrant children with family members in his state.

With postseason play approaching, the Harrisonville girls basketball team is happy to have a winning streak.
The Wildcats made it two in a row Feb. 18 when they beat Excelsior Springs 45-33 at their home gym. Fresh off winning at Oak Grove Feb. 13, the Wildcats won back-to-back game for the first time since defeating University Charter Academy and Oak Grove in early January.
Behind the strength of Brianna Kendrick's 18 points, Harrisonville established a 15-point first quarter lead. Excelsior Springs matched the Wildcats bucket for bucket in the second half, but the Tigers never could overcome that early deficit.
"This year we are not so talented where we can show up and beat people," Harrisonville coach Mark Rovig said. "We have to get up for every game or the little mistakes will hurt us,"
This is a young Wildcat team that, despite its 7 – 12 record, feels like it has a chance to do well in district play.
With back-to-back wins, the Wildcats may be creating the momentum they need to pull off some excitement later this season in district play. While a conference championship is out of reach for Harrisonville, a district title may be obtainable.
"We still have two weeks to prepare for districts, and to me the district tournament is a wide-open race," said Rovig.
The Wildcats will open the district tournament against Warrensburg, then potentially face Missouri River Valley West Conference rival Pleasant Hill. Playing a team three times in a season is not an easy task and the Wildcats know that possibility exists.
"It could go one of two ways, because we know what we need to improve and work on," said Harrisonville's Brianna Kendrick. "Just because a game went one way the first time doesn't mean it will go that way again."

Welcome to Architecture Month!
It's the time of year when we can associate with our peers and friends as well as stopping to reflect on our passion for the craft of architecture. As usual, the AIA Orlando Programs Committee has prepared a slate of exciting events to celebrate architecture. It all starts off with the Design Party. Hosted by the Allied Professionals Committee, it once again features Art by Architects. This event continues to grow and is a great showcase of all the artistic talents of architects in our community. If you have not yet attended this event, make plans to do so….you will be amazed at the variety of talents and exceptional artwork displayed.
Mid-month there will be a walking tour of the downtown core area hosted by the Women In Architecture Committee. This tour will look at the past, present and future of downtown Orlando and how it has been shaped by architecture. It's a great opportunity to stop and explore our city rather than just passing through it on our normal routines. In addition, don't forget about entering the Canstruction competition. This annual event showcases creative talent along with helping to supply needed food items in the community.
At the end of the month, there is a special treat for BIM-minded individuals. BIM BAM BOOM is a building information modeling design competition featuring a shoot-out between competitive software experts from Autodesk, Nemetschek and Graphisoft. There will be lots of fun and interaction during this design charrette. If you are a seasoned BIM user or just work around the edges, you will be sure to enjoy this exciting event.
These are but a few of the offerings to members during October. Be sure and take advantage of the many programs developed and share in the celebration of Architecture Month in Orlando!

FY 2014 Annual Special Education Data Collection Status Update
The Annual Special Education Data Collection consists of the following sections: Exit, Discipline, Personnel, Teacher Attrition Rate Survey, Preschool Transition (if applicable), Parentally Placed Private School Students (if applicable), and Secure Care Survey (if applicable).
Please see attached alert for detailed information.
All PEAs are required to complete the Annual Special Education Data Collection requirement each year. Currently, 66% of PEAs have not yet begun data entry for this data collection requirement. The due date for this requirement is 6 weeks away. Please see timeline below for specific dates.
OSEP requires the Annual Special Education Data Collection information in order for Arizona to receive Part B IDEA funding. Therefore, failure to promptly submit your PEA's data may cause an interruption of your federal funds and may also impact your PEA Determination.
|Monday, April 28, 2014
|ESS Annual Data online application opened
|Tuesday, July 8, 2014 @ 5:00 PM
|Deadline for submitting discipline data to Az SAFE
|Monday, August 4, 2014
|Final Submit process begins within the ESS Annual Data online application; manual corrections to special education discipline data can be made
|Friday, August 15, 2014
|Deadline for completing the Final Submit process and making any manual corrections to SPED discipline data; signature form due to ESS Data Management
Discipline Data Extract from Az SAFE
All SPED discipline data must be submitted to Az SAFE by 5:00 PM on Tuesday, July 8, 2014. This data will be finalized prior to August 4, in preparation for the final submission process (see additional information below). The discipline report within the ESS Annual Data application is pre-populated with Az SAFE data. Please take this opportunity to review these reports and submit any necessary corrections via Az SAFE by the abovementioned deadline.
Exit Data Extract from SAIS
All SPED exit data should have been submitted by June 30, 2014. This data will be finalized after the FY14 Statewide Recalculation scheduled for July 16, 2014. We have been and will continue to work with PEAs that have outstanding integrity errors related to their exit data to get these corrections manually entered for inclusion in the Exit report.
ASDB Student Reporting
As the district of residence (DOR), PEAs that voucher preschool students to ASDB are responsible for reporting preschool transition data for their students. The home district receives the referral from AzEIP and is ultimately responsible for the IEPs of its students.
As in the past, ASDB will continue to report its personnel by FTE, respond to the Teacher Attrition Rate Survey, and report discipline (via Az SAFE) and exit data (via SAIS) for students to be extracted and reported out in the application.
Final Submission
The final submission process will commence on Monday, August 4, 2014, and signature forms are due to ADE/ESS by Friday, August 15, 2014. During this time period, PEAs will have the opportunity to complete any outstanding agency reports, review exit and discipline reports, proceed with the final submission process (which will allow PEAs to confirm the accuracy of their discipline report and elect to do manual corrections to discipline data if necessary), and submit the required signature form.

|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (May 2012)
Motorcycling is riding a motorcycle. For most people in the world, motorcycling is the only affordable form of individual motorized transportation, and small displacement motorcycles are the most common motor vehicle in the most populous countries of the world, including India, China and Indonesia.[1][2][3][4]
In the developed world, motorcycling goes beyond being just a mode of motor transportation or sport. It is also leisure activity and numerous subcultures and lifestyles have evolved around the use of motorcycles. Although mainly a solo activity, motorcycling can be very social and motorcyclists tend to have a strong sense of community with each other which is expressed in many idiosyncratic manners.[5][6]
For most riders, motorcycle is a cheaper and more convenient form of transportation which causes less commuter congestion within cities and has less environmental impacts than automobile ownership.
Others ride as a way to relieve stress and to "clear their minds" as described in Robert M. Pirsig's book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Pirsig contrasted the sense of connection experienced by motorcyclists with the isolation of drivers who are "always in a compartment", passively observing the passing landscape. Pirsig portrayed motorcycling as being in "completely in contact with it all... in the scene."[7] The connection to ones motorcycle is sensed further, as Pirsig explained, by the frequent need to maintain its mechanical operation. Pirsig felt that connection deepen when faced with a difficult mechanical problem that required walking away from it until the solution became clear. Similarly, motorcyclists experience pleasure at the feeling of being far more connected to their motor vehicles than in a motorcar, as being part of it rather than in it.[8]
Speed draws many people to motorcycling because the power-to-weight ratios of even low-power motorcycles rivals that of an expensive sports car. The power-to-weight ratio of many modestly priced sport bikes is well beyond any mass-production automobile and rivals that of supercars for a fraction of the price.[9] Hunter S. Thompson's book Hell's Angels includes an ode to the joys of pushing a motorcycle to its limits, "with the throttle screwed on there is only the barest margin, and no room at all for mistakes ... that's when the strange music starts ... fear becomes exhilaration [and the] only sounds are the wind and a dull roar floating back from the mufflers"[10] and T. E. Lawrence wrote of the "lustfulness of moving swiftly" and the "pleasure of speeding on the road". A sensation he compared to feeling "the earth moulding herself under me ... coming alive ... and heaving and tossing on each side like a sea."[11]
Not only is the sensation of speed greater but motorcycles negotiate turns by leaning, therefore the greater the speed, the greater the lean, sometimes to the point of scraping parts of the motorcycle on the road. Some riders will point proudly to the worn-away parts of their motorcycle, proof that they take turns so fast that they must lean the motorcycle over to the limits of its capabilities.
As the restriction of mobility is common element in oppressive circumstances, motorcycling is also a significant tool of mobility[12] and a symbol of independence, adventure and self-reliance.[13]
Motorcycling is a more dangerous means of transport than other road alternatives: the relative risk of a motorcycle rider being killed or seriously injured per kilometre travelled was around 54 times higher in Great Britain in 2006 than for car drivers.[14] However, motorcycling is less dangerous than many other popular outdoor recreational activities, including horseback riding.[15]
To address motorcycle safety issues, motorcycle-specific training and personal protective equipment is important for motorcyclists' survival on the road, and mandated in many countries and several U.S. states and counties.
Motorcycling lifestyles have been adopted by many different groups spanning nations and cultures. They include commuters, mainstream motorcycle clubs such as long-distance riding clubs, adventurer touring, trail riding and those involved with motorcycle sports, such as motocross riding, drag racing, circuit racing and trick or stunt enthusiasts; and those involved in customizing their vehicles in various different styles. Organized rides are a key element of many groups.
Around the world, motorcycles have historically been associated with highly visible subcultures.[16] Some of these subcultures have been loose-knit social groups, such as the scooter riders and cafe racer riders of the 1950s and 60s in Great Britain, and they often are seen as inhabiting the fringes of society.[16] Numerous books about motorcycle subcultures have been written, including Hunter S. Thompson's Hells Angels, Lee Gutkind's Bike Fever, and Daniel R. Wolf's The Rebels.
Clubs, lobbying groups, and outlaw gangs[edit]
Motorcycle clubs[edit]
Social motorcyclist organisations are popular and are sometimes organised geographically, focus on individual makes, or even specific models. Example motorcycle clubs include: American Motorcyclist Association, Harley Owners Group and BMW MOA. Some organisations hold large international motorcycle rallies in different parts of the world that are attended by many thousands of riders. Many social motorcycle organisations raise money for charities as a secondary activity, through organised events and rides, and others exist primarily as social benefit organisations, such as Bikers Against Child Abuse.[17]
Since the late 20th century, motorcyclists have formed political lobbying organisations in order to influence legislators to introduce motorcycle-friendly legislation. One of the oldest such organisations, the British Motorcycle Action Group, was founded in 1973 specifically in response to helmet compulsion, introduced without public consultation.[18] In addition, the British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF), originally founded in 1960 as a reaction to the public perception of motorcyclists as leather-jacketed hooligans, has itself moved into political lobbying. Likewise, the U.S. has ABATE, which, like most such organisations, also works to improve motorcycle safety, as well as running the usual charity fund-raising events and rallies, often for motorcycle-related political interests.[19]
Outlaw gangs[edit]
At the other end of the spectrum from the charitable organisations and the motorcycle rights activists are the "outlaw motorcycle gangs." These are defined by the Provincial Court of Manitoba as: "Any group of motorcycle enthusiasts who have voluntarily made a commitment to band together and abide by their organisations' rigorous rules enforced by violence, who engage in activities that bring them and their club into serious conflict with society and the law."[20] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Criminal Intelligence Service Canada have designated four MCs as Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs), which are the Pagans, Hells Angels, Outlaws MC, and Bandidos,[21][22] known as the "Big Four." [23]
The motorcycle manufacturing industry and many government entities around the world have taken actions to clean up the reputation and activities of motorcyclists.[24][25]
Motorcyclists will refer to maintenance or repair of a motorcycle as wrenching in the USA and "spannering" in the UK. A do it yourself self-sufficiency is said to be part of motorcycles allure in an "increasingly monolithic, unfixable world"[6] and being able to maintain one's own motorcycle is seen as part of the competency of being a motorcyclist.
Historically, motorcycle maintenance was a necessary skill for riders, since the materials and technology used in motorcycles often meant that repairs had to be done on the road-side miles from home. Modern motorcycles are as reliable as automobiles but many riders feel that their motorcycle is more than just a means of transportation which leads them to want to do maintenance on the motorcycles themselves.

October 15, 2013 -- This week on "Off the Shelf", Chris Payne, senior economic analyst and Cameron Leuthy, senior budget analyst for Bloomberg Government, discuss the impact of the shutdown.
Payne outlines the economic ramifications of the potential failure to raise the debt ceiling.
He also makes the case as to why the debt ceiling makes no fiscal, economic or policy sense.
Leuthy talks about the budgetary impact of shutdown and what it means for government missions and contractors supporting customer agency missions.

The king sleeps through earthquakes. There have been two already this morning, both sizable enough to bestir gasps of panic and alarm. But the door to the king's sanctum remains closed; the jolts have elicited no reaction form within. "Where's Eddie?" the king's manager demands, himself looking a bit ashen, a bit unsettled. "Sleeping," he is told by the king's men, an omnipresent coterie of employees whose business it is to know what Eddie Murphy is doing every moment of every day. "Sleeping!" says the manager, incredulous, But it is true: Eddie is asleep, he is out cold, he is snoozing through the peril. Nestled on the expansive ebony sofa in his vast ebony office, he naps and feels nothing, nary a rumble. When he emerges much later, all eyes in the room intently scan him to ascertain his condition. He groggily rubs his face. "What earthquake?" he says. "Suits!" he hollers across the Paramount back lot later that day. Frank Mancuso, who is wearing a suit, sees trouble coming. Mancuso is chairman of Paramount Pictures, and he is presently loitering on the grounds, chatting with three studio executives, also in suits. Murphy, who's wearing black warm-ups, barrels up in his customized golf cart (festooned with ersatz Rolls-Royce grillwork) and bleats the horn. Aaaoooooo-gaaaaah! "Hello, suits!" he says, at once warm and defiant. The big shots chuckle at his insouciance. (Oh, that Eddie!) They are, after all, his subjects: He is Paramount's billion-dollar box-office sovereign, the nation's foremost comic commodity. And the back lot is where he reigns most conspicuously. He briefly schmoozes the Mancuso gaggle, then tears off again in his buggy, chasing down and hooting at pretty secretaries who appear in his path. "Yo! Yo! Yo!" he calls. Aaaoooo-gaaah.
His friends call him Money. He looks like money, like $40 million, if perchance one speculates. He looks crisp, controlled. He is twenty-eight yet not terribly youthful; he fancies himself much older, more world-weary. He stares straight ahead and seems to notice no one, but he see all and hears even more. Unless he's erupting into his deft repertoire of character voices, his presence is shy, inscrutable. Usually he is sullen, almost somber – but this creates a quiet aura of power. You feel him before you see him; first you see his men. He is insulated by bodies, a cleaving pack of old friends and relations on the payroll. These are Eddie's Boys: Fed, Larry, Jerry, Rough House, Roy, Fruity, Lee, Ray-Ray and several others. They attend to him, fortify him, whether back home at Bubble Hill – Eddie's palace in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey – or here in the balm of Los Angeles. They ride shotgun on the Rolls cart; they motorcade along in separate buggies, racing with Eddie around the lot (and letting him win); they flank, defer, cajole, tease, adore, grumble, serve, laugh approvingly and get beaten by him at chess ("Whaddya gonna do without no queen, you spineless fuck!" Eddie will say). Mainly, though, they just watch. Eddie makes his own ham sandwiches – his Boys just watch. Eddie falls into stride with passing female joggers – his Boys just watch. And crack up.
Because kings can do anything, Eddie does everything. He hyphenates recklessly. His astonishing talent gives him license. Since March, he's been directing his first film, Harlem Nights, on which he is co-writer, producer and costar along with Richard Pryor (his idol), Redd Foxx (his foulmouthed forefather) and Arsenio Hall (his close friend). It is a period con-game yarn – The Sting done black. The elders praise their nascent director. "It's turning out to be more pleasant than I expected," says Pryor. "He's wise enough to listen to people. I see him be very patient with his actors. It's not a lark to him. He's really serious." Foxx says, "He's on top of the world, and he's doing a hell of a job. He sure knows how to handle people with sensitivity. He'll come over to your side and give private direction – he never embarrasses anyone." Another thought from Pryor: "You walk around here and look at the people – have you ever in your life seen this many black people on a movie set? I haven't."
Eddie Murphy Speaks: The Rolling Stone Interview
Because Eddie can do anything, he also sings. It is a comedian's disease, this unfortunate urge. Carson wishes he could, but he can't. Jerry Lewis did but shouldn't have Eddie can, and he does. The first album, How Could It Be, came out four years ago and was timid fare – his voice was tentative, unconvincing in its conceit. (The dance single produced by funkmeister Rick James, "Party All the Time," however, was a novelty hit.) A second album, called So Happy, just released, is more confident and musically impressive. He takes kidding pokes at pop (in songs like "Put Your Mouth on Me" and "Bubble Hill") but also manages to display craft in the process. The voice is strong and practically unrecognizable; only the subject matter – and the occasional trademark Eeeh-eeh-eeh walruslike guffaw – betrays his identity. (Recurring lyrical themes include bondage, outdoor sex and distrust of women.) Still, he worries about the record; he has deigned to promote it and agreed to test his press paranoia one more time. Eddie takes care of business.
As such, Eddie is like Elvis. In many ways, he is like Elvis. He likes Elvis. "Are you going to butcher me?" he says, by way of salutation, to a reporter meeting him for the first time. He says this in Elvis Presley's voice, a voice he conjures up often. Between takes on the set of the "Put Your Mouth on Me" video, he becomes Elvis – strumming a guitar, sneering, singing.
"Heybabybossanovababy," he croons, Elvis-like. "Thankyouthankyouverrrmuch." Women beset him as they did Elvis, claiming to be incubating his love child or insinuating impropriety. (Most recently, actress Michael Michele filed a $75 million sexual-harassment and breach-of-contract suit against Murphy after he fired her from Harlem Nights.) His office is stocked with Elvis gold records, Elvis books, Elvis street signs, arcane Presleyana of all sorts. "Elvis looked like every hair was where it was supposed to be," explains Eddie, who is known throughout his household for interminable rituals spent each day before mirrors, combing and recombing his hair.
To interrogate Eddie Murphy, you must become one of his minions You must join his court, ride along in the tiny Rolls, wait while he directs his movie or while he sleeps through earthquakes. Dedication warms him. In conversation, perhaps as a reward, he is jarringly candid. (Bathroom habits! Sexual proclivities! Threats of violence!) "Everybody has something about them that nobody knows," he says buoyantly. "Except for me. I'm straight up." What follows then is an amalgam of several talks held in his Paramount office during days of pursuit. To ensure intimacy, he frequently tossed associates and several of his Boys out of the room. Only an unnamed and very pretty young woman was permitted to witness one chat – and then only from a remote corner. When her clanking earrings began to drown out Eddie's whisper-soft voice, however, he considerately instructed her, "Take 'em off! He's recording this. You're gonna fuck up the recording." She obliged. "That's what's gonna be in the article," he continued. " 'In the middle of the interview, a woman's earrings are clanking. Murphy demanded that she take them off.' Write it that way and you'll make me out like an idiot. Eeeh-eeh-eeh."
How much money does a box-office king carry around in his wallet? Let's see your dough.
Right now I've got nothing on me. I don't carry a lot of money – no more than $300 in my wallet at a time. I'm a credit-card fiend. I'm not like Mike Tyson, who walks around with between twenty and thirty grand in his pocket. But who's gonna try to take his money? If I walked around with thirty grand, I'd come in beaten up every day, going [shrugs helplessly], "They got me again!"Eeeh-eeh-eeh.
But where's your wallet? Don't you carry it yourself?
No, I never carry my wallet. There's a song on my album called "Until the Money's Gone" where I keep asking, "Where's my wallet?" That, in fact, is the question I ask most. Fifteen times a day, every day.
You mean there's one person who's in charge of holding your wallet?
No, I'll give my wallet to anyone who works for me. Which at one point caused me to change my staff. With my old staff, I'd say, "Hold my wallet," and then when I'd get it back, I'd say, "Waitaminute, there's only seven dollars in here, and it was full yesterday." They'd say, "Oh, you must spend a lot of money, Ed." I'd say, "I know I didn't spend $10,000 yesterday." "Well, Ed, I don't know anything about it, but I gotta go. My limo's here."
Do you have an idea of how much you're worth?
[Earnestly] Oh, yeah. To the dime. Oh, absolutely, I'm completely on top of that. It's an obsession. One of my major fears has always been that I'd get that call: "Your accountant's gone with all your money!" That kind of shit is spooky. So I know where every dime of my money is, and no one can sign checks for me. Which is a job in itself. I get crazy with that.
