The Braves are one of those teams that are just kinda there. Chipper Jones has been around forever and he's been remarkably consistent, but you kind of forget about him. Escobar is having a breakout season and nobody is noticing and McCann is one of the best offensive catchers in the league but doesn't get much notice. Besides those three? They got nothing. Prado is having a good year and McClouth is alright, but there is nothing special about this team. They don't scare me.
Have a good weekend. As you may have noticed the Brewers are starting to make me crazy.

Special Program: Press Freedoms On Global Decline
Guests: Jennifer Windsor and Thomas Dine
WASHINGTON — The Newseum's 36-foot by 20-foot map illustrating press freedoms around the world served as a backdrop for the April 29, 2008, release of Freedom House's annual survey of global press freedoms.
According to the survey, which has studied media independence in 195 countries and territories since 1980, press freedoms have suffered a six-year decline. Journalists are working in increasingly hostile environments in almost every region in the world.
"This exhibit provides a unique platform to depict global, regional and country trends," Jennifer Windsor, executive director of Freedom House, said of the Time Warner World News Gallery where the map is located.
The map is color coordinated to reflect the different levels of press freedoms. Countries painted in green enjoy press freedoms. Those in yellow have partial press freedoms. The countries in red allow no press freedoms.
"One of the core messages at the Newseum is that a free press is the cornerstone of democracy," said Joe Urschel, executive director of the Newseum. "The two go hand in hand, as do the missions of the Freedom House and the Newseum."
The Newseum's map, which Urschel said would be updated every year, was updated prior to the program. The status of press freedoms in five countries — four in Africa, one in South America —changed.
- Benin went from a "free" press to "partly free."
- Central African Republic went from "partly free" to "not free."
- Egypt went from "not free" to "partly free."
- Guyana went from "free" to "partly free."
- Niger went from "partly free" to "not free."
"Daily headlines are reminding us that freedom is fragile," said Thomas Dine, a Freedom House trustee member.
Freedom House is a nonpartisan, non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., that promotes freedom and democracy around the world.
The Newseum, which opened on April 11, 2008, is a 250,000-square-foot museum of news that offers visitors an experience that blends five centuries of news history with up-to-the-second technology and hands-on exhibits.

Overall rating:100% Write a Review
When I saw myself in a small group photo, I realized how bad my posture had become. A friend told me about the Spider Med which I tried and soon found I was regularly correcting my posture even while not using the Spider Med. Soon, good posture came naturally for me and when I moved back to Portland, so many of my friends told me how fit I looked. Since I was not working out (as I should), I can attribute my fit look to better posture. Thank you Spider Med.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

Medicare Program at Ralph Ellison Library
There is no doubt that the cost of prescription medications has risen so high, millions of Americans need help paying for them. That's why the federal government initiated the Medicare program 40 years ago.
The Ralph Ellison Library, 2000 NE 23rd, is co-sponsoring with the Senior Health Insurance Counseling Program (SHICP) a workshop on Wednesday, March 28, from noon to 1:30 p.m. called "Learn What You Need to Know About Medicare."
A representative from SHICP, will be at the library to answer questions from the public.
So if you've recently turned 65, or will be turning 65 soon, and you're eligible for Medicare but have no idea how it works or what it can do for you, this program will present an overview.
"Medicare can be the difference between a good life and one with additional burdens," said Ralph Ellison librarian Sharon May, "and we want to make sure everyone knows just how to take advantage of it in order to receive the financial assistance they need."
The program is free to the public but pre-registration is appreciated. Call the Ralph Ellison Library at 424-1437 for more information.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org

Creme de la Femme
Vaginal Lubricants | Vaginal Cream Dangers
Not all Vaginal Lubricants | Vaginal Cream Are Created Equal
Vaginal dryness is a problem for millions of American women. Whether the basic problem is menopausal vaginal dryness or one of many other causes of intimate dryness—the discomfort can escalate quickly. And it can get bad enough that women are inclined to try anything that promises relief.
Unfortunately that's a mistake. Be aware that over-the-counter vaginal lubricants or vaginal cream are NOT all created equal.
Beware of Vaginal Cream with Glycerin
Glycerin is the most serious danger. An ingredient often found in vaginal cream, glycerin carries with it a medical hazard sign in the U.S. Chemical Catalog. So before you purchase any over-the-counter product intended to serve as a vaginal dryness treatment, check the list of ingredients because glycerin can be given many other names. For example:
- glycerine
- propane-(1,2 or3)-triol
- (1,2 or3)-propanetriol
- (1,2 or3)-trihydroxypropane
- glyceritol
- glycyl alcohol
All these ingredients are byproducts of fermented carbohydrate, otherwise known as sugar. That makes them dangerous to anyone with a sensitivity to blood sugar variances. Those with diabetes are especially at risk. For them, vaginal lubricants containing glycerin can cause bladder infection, vaginal irritation and vaginal yeast infection following intercourse.
Avoid Vaginal Lubricants with these other "red flag" ingredients …
Alcohol, dyes or added fragrances. It's also best to avoid any personal lubricant that includes alcohol, dyes or added fragrances. All these ingredients can result in burning and inflammation. And some women actually have allergic reactions to them that result in painful vaginal irritation.
Water-based vaginal lubricants. Water-based lubricants can irritate yeast infections. Yeast proliferates in water. So it's not uncommon for a woman to experience the itchiness of yeast infection within just a few days of using most vaginal lubricants. For this group, in particular, an oil-based vaginal cream is a much better option.
Choose a Vaginal Cream That is Oil-Based
There are advantages to an oil-based lubricant. In addition to avoiding yeast-infection irritations, an oil-based lubricant is self-cleansing, so there's no messy residue or follow-up douching required. It won't run or dry up quickly. That means it can be applied hours before intercourse, and still protect delicate vaginal tissue. That protection lowers the risk of vaginal trauma and the vaginal irritation that follows. It also lowers the risk of excessive friction, which can leave women vulnerable to bladder infection.
Creme de la Femme: the ultimate vaginal cream
Creme de la Femme is one of a rare few glycerin-free, oil-based vaginal lubricants. Formulated by a woman doctor, Creme is a soothing vaginal dryness treatment that can be used safely by every woman. It can be applied externally after bath or shower, for all-day comfort. Some women prefer to apply internally, using the sleek applicator that accompanies every purchase.
Our vaginal lubricants are made entirely without alcohol or dye, blending pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil with petrolatum. Just a bit of paraffin and ceresin are added, creating an ultra-sheer vaginal cream that stays semi-solid at room temperature. Then, the minute it touches warm skin, it melts into silky moisture that lasts for hours.

Courtesy Spokane Chiefs
Spokane's chase for the Memorial Cup came to a close on Wednesday night as the Chiefs fell to the Winterhawks 5-0 in front of 4,012 fans at the Spokane Arena. Portland defeated Spokane 4-0 in their best-of-seven series to advance to the WHL Western Conference Finals.The loss ended an impressive year for the Chiefs, who reached the 40-win plateau for the ninth time in franchise history and qualified for the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. Spokane finished with an overall record of 48-31-2-0 including the postseason.Portland and Spokane traded shots for the first 10 minutes of the game before Chase De Leo put the Winterhawks on the board with a goal at the 10:53 mark. Spokane looked poised to tie the score on a power play starting at 12:28 but an errant pass from the Chiefs led to Taylor Peters' short-handed goal and a 2-0 advantage for the Winterhawks. Portland outshot Spokane 11-8 for the period The Winterhawks notched the only goal of the second with Ty Rattie scoring on the power play at 1:42 to push Portland's lead to 3-0. The Hawks outshot the Chiefs 15-10 in the period.Portland added two more goals in the third, with Joey Baker scoring at 10:55 and Taylor Leier lighting the lamp at 16:31, to cap the game's scoring. Williams finished 30 of 35 on save opportunities while Mac Carruth was 30 of 30 for Portland. Spokane went 0 for 1 on the power play and 3 of 4 on the penalty kill.Tonight's three stars: Mac Carruth (1st), Taylor Peters (2nd) and Eric Williams (3rd).

Indiana was able to achieve welcome decreases in teen-driving deaths after adopting graduated drivers license laws. But it appears some of the benefits of easing teen drivers more slowly into the responsibilities associated with driving are leveling off. A recent rise in fatalities among young drivers shows that state leaders, parents and, most important, young drivers need to remain vigilant about safer driving practices.
Teen traffic deaths are on the rise throughout the nation, but Indiana has experienced the highest increase in deaths.
After several years of steady decline, preliminary data collected by the Governors Highway Safety Association show that fatal crashes involving 16- and 17-year-old drivers are increasing.
The report compared data from the first six months of 2011 with data from the first six months of 2012. It found a 9 percent increase in fatal accidents nationwide. There were 240 deaths in the first six months of 2012.
It also found Indiana has the highest increase in fatal crashes in the country. In 2011, there were three fatal crashes involving teenage drivers, compared to 16 last year.
While the number of teen deaths is nowhere near the numbers from more than a decade ago, it does mark the second consecutive year that researchers saw an increase. The deaths of 16- and 17-year-olds had been steadily dropping since 2002.
The increase comes at a time traffic accident deaths are up overall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates an 8 percent increase in all traffic deaths when all the numbers for 2012 are tallied
As Jeff Wiehe's story Monday explained, there are several possible factors contributing to the increase in teen traffic accident deaths, including a leveling off of the benefits of state's graduated driving license laws, the improving economy and distracted driving.
As the economy has improved more teens are driving. Teens are more likely to have extra cash on hand for gas and parents are increasingly able to help fund the purchase of a car.
Driver distraction is quite likely another contributing factor. The Governors Highway Safety Association report did not include data about the involvement of distracted driving, but a recent study from the National Safety Council found the number of crash deaths involving drivers using phones is seriously underreported. However, that study was looking at traffic accidents involving drivers of any age, not just teenagers.
The safety council study found strong evidence that 180 fatal crashes from 2009 to 2011 involved a driver using a cellphone. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's accident database listed only half of those accidents as involving a cellphone.
Many people, but teenagers specifically, are habitually attached to their cell phones.
The study shows that graduated drivers licenses were a good start, but that the work of improving teen driving safety is not done.

I have had a fantastic experience living at Eitel. The staff, management, and maintenance are all wonderful! The apartments are incredibly clean, and the entire complex is clean and safe. The underground parking is a huge perk, along with the numerous other amenities. I looked at many different apartments when moving to Minneapolis, but honestly none of them compared to Eitel, especially for the quality and size of the apartment for the price. The location is also great - you have all the perks of living downtown, but it's not on a busy street so you don't get all the "craziness" of downtown living, such as the noise. I have never really had any issues living here - but they do take care of anything I need right away. I think the management went through some changes awhile back (hence the not so great reviews over the past few years...) but everything seems to be very 'settled' now and has been nothing but improvements around the apartment. I would highly recommend checking out Eitel - and be sure to ask any questions you may have when you visit!

I've lived in the Eitel Building for almost 2 years and love it. Not only is my apartment perfect for my dog and I, but the amenities are great and the staff is even better. Always helpful, prompt and direct, they are always there to lend a helping hand when needed. The rooftop patio is gorgeous, and the fact that Loring Kitchen & Bar is apart of the building doesn't hurt either. I'm walking distance from everything, and couldn't have asked for a more welcoming experience when I made the move to MN from NC.

Great Apartments! The location is fabulous near downtown, major highways, Uptown. The floor plans are very unique with beautiful floor to ceiling windows and tall ceilings - something you can't get in the burbs. Great sky roof overlooking Minneapolis. Also, the management is very responsive and provides excellent customer service. Having Loring Kitchen downstairs is a plus! Highly recommend

I've been living here for a full year now and am soon moving out...along with a lot of other tenants. Everything looks great on the tours but there are a lot of things about these apartments that stink. 1. Good luck getting hot water in the morning...how is it possible that im paying 1500+ a month and it's 50/50 on whether I will have hot water? Terrible. Even when I do it takes a good 20 minutes. This includes the main kitchen sink. Have had mgmt in a couple times and they say they're "working on it". They clearly are not. 2. The workout room was built for a complex of 50 not 250. Stuff is always busy and it's impossible to get on the treadmill after 4 pm. 3. Parking is 110 per space. Unbelievable. The parking garage is extremely dirty as well. Leaving your car in there a couple days guarantees the need for a carwash. I'd rather leave mine outside. 4. For the price I'm paying these apartments should be sturdy. The sliding doors are crap, the toilets are cheap, the shower head is awesome but like I said it rarely spews hot water. 5. I used to live in a fraternity house and on weekends here I feel like I'm doing it again. People smoke in hallways, there are cigarette burns in the carpet, I can hear the people above me having sex all the time, and people's music is incredibly loud. Don't call before 10 pm though because mgmt will tell you you're out of luck. There are some positives here though: 1. Great location with lots of nearby restaurants, events, and the park is great for running when it's nice. 2. Luke is a great property manager it just appears whoever is above him is blowing it. 3. The facilities are very nice. The skypark is an awesome touch however I wish they would have gone one floor higher and included a pool somewhere. I loved the place when I moved in but so many little things have happened and keep happening that I am not too impressed. 4. They are very pet friendly. I don't own a pet but I considered getting a yellow lab and they were very accommodating to the idea. In summary, eitel is ok. For the price? It's not good. You can do much better for less.

I am a fan and will always be a supporter of local music. However that doesn't negate the fact that I consider myself at times to be a pretty harsh music critic. It's easy to say the artist would have to make a huge impression on me in order for me to jump on board 100%.
When I come across an artist who I will blindly stand next to it is a definite rare occasion. It just doesn't happen very often. So I was a little taken back when I heard music from local rappers DeNero and Nilo Stari.
Immediately I felt these two had that certain "it" factor that is necessary in making it as a professional musician.
I could not help but think that the two reminded me of one of my favorite duos from the 90′s Lord Tariq and Peter Guns. They were two rappers with each their own style that complimented the other.
Before you all go on to slaughter me on my comments by saying that DeNero and Nilo Stari sound nothing like Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz, realize I never said that they did. I said that they reminded me of them.
Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz could have gone on to have long successful careers, but for whatever reasons went on their separate ways after only one successful commercial LP.
DeNero and Nilo Stari claim they met in a 10th grade history class where they began their friendship cheating off each other's school papers.
Stari (age 20) and DeNero (age 21) have moved on to be entrepreneur aspect of the music business and started their own independent record label deemed "Money Magnet Mafia". The two also operate "Money Magnet Mafia & Acclaimed 2 Fame Studios" in the Downtown/Westside area. They are also in development of their own clothing line, merchandise, and print services as well.
More recently they've inked up with one of the biggest sought after local artist in the city of San Antonio, "Question" . Nilo Stari and DeNero were invited as last minute guest and asked to appear on Question's latest Album "XANAX3″ along with more well known names such as Talib Kweli, Bun B, Trey Songz, B.O.B. and others.
The song that made the "Xanax 3″ LP is known as "Planets" A song that was not scheduled to be on the album. However when the song was created between the three scribes, the vibe fit the album like a puzzle piece and was later added by Question himself. All three and their respected teams are in the making of an insane music video equipped with fresh, original ideas with a crisp, clean HD quality (teasers can be found on vimeo.com/14873687)
With the video on the way and the ball finally rolling, they also have plenty of upcoming projects to anticipate. DeNero has just released a project known as "Tha Family Guy Mixtape" mixed by Chamillionaire's own official DJ, DJ Rapid Ric. Which includes an extremely original collectible set of artwork for the fans to enjoy masterminded by DeNero himself and brought to life by none other than 3x Justo Awards winner Miami Kaos.(Teaser video can be found on vimeo.com/13345351). The mixtape is now available locally and internationally upon request at email@example.com.
Other projects coming soon also include a collaboration of Nilo and DeNero called "The Invasion" that includes a handful of local artist as well as two original albums. The first is entitled "A Breath of Fresh Air" produced by local super producer DJ Doomzday and another that has yet to be named. However it will definitely be one of their biggest projects ever.
This is the perfect opportunity for these young rappers to be discovered in a city that is not considered "on the map" when it comes to mainstream music. I urge everyone to give them and their music a shot. I did, and at the end of it all I emerged a fan.

Hubby and I stopped in to Khans bar and grill today for lunch. It's a Mongolian style BBQ grill spot. What a great choice on a sunny 80 degree day in the city!!!! I enjoyed the $10 lunch which included a fountain drink and a bowl of items I selected from the self serve veggie bar to have grilled along with my choice of meat and sauce. Veggie selections include broccoli, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, and more. Although you start off with a bowl, you end up with a very nice sized portion of food to work on after being grilled and served to you on a plate (along with steamed rice if you'd like). I loved the concept, the fast and friendly service, quality and freshness of food, cleanliness, eclectic mix of patrons, and the price this place has to offer. I will definitely be back :-D

Draft Principle 1: Open access to information – a default position
Information held by the Australian Government is a valuable national resource. As recommended by the Government 2.0 Taskforce, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary, access to that information should be open, that is:
- free
- based on open standards
- easily discoverable
- understandable
- machine-readable, and
- freely reusable and transformable.
This places a proactive and pro-disclosure obligation on agencies to:
- use information technology to disseminate public sector information, particularly by publishing information online
- maximise the amount of information that is published voluntarily, rather than waiting for specific requests under the FOI Act, and
- apply a presumption of openness when deciding whether and how to publish public sector information.
Principle 1: Open Access to Information a Default Position is supported.
Australian Bureau of Statistics notes that while it is important that a Government Information Policy should mandate that there be standards for Government information, in a high level Policy it is not necessary to define what those standards should be.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
1. Information held by the Australian Government isn't just a valuable national resource – it's an essential national asset and resource which is publicly funded and underpins our ability to operate effectively as a modern democratic nation
2. There are a complex set of stakeholders for government-held public information, and they all have legitimate needs and rights to access and use public information
3. The concept of "pragmatic information quality" defined by Larry P English provides a useful mechanism for addressing the varying requirements of different information stakeholders – it addresses key concepts including:
- what information
- completeness
- context
- accuracy
- format
- timeliness
- accessibility
- ...
... purpose
4. The 'transduction' principle described by Stafford Beer in his Viable System Model is critical – it states that information moving across a system boundary (eg from agency to public domain) must be in a form that is comprehensible to the receiving system
5 The Gov 2.0 principles are not comprehensive or robust – I will address this in my formal submissionVA:F [1.9.22_1171]
In addition to making information open and accessible, significant benefits could also be derived from providing appropriate access to high quality information in a timely manner.
Information which is of a high quality and is up-to-date can assist in ensuring effective and efficient decision-making.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Good morning folks
Thinking about the principle of open access to information in conjunction with creating a pro-disclosure culture I suggest the following:
There are many types of information concerning the internal functioning and organisational health of agencies that should be made openly available to all citizens on the basis that the APS is their public service. A good example of this type of information are the results of culture and engagement surveys. I am sure people can think of many more.
Providing open access to this type of information would be an important lever in terms of creating a pro-disclosure culture. I ...
... imagine some agencies would baulk at this by evoking the mantra of 'damage to reputation'.
However, the obvious response to this is that the public would much prefer to see a public service that is open and transparent about such information. And let's not forget that invariably this type of information contains good messages and bad.
So my first suggestion is that it should be a requirement that all agencies release all information concerning what is essentially their organisational health and the views of their people.
My next suggestion relates to whistle blowing. It seems to me that by the time we get to the whistle blowing stage the horse. So to speak, has already bolted. This is the import of the article Are you creating a whistle blower
In terms of creating a pro-disclosure culture across the public service I suggest that what we should do is establish a secure and anonymous means for public servants to disclose information concerning the performance and organisational health of their agency. I also suggest that this information should be openly available.
I appreciate that this may be considered a somewhat radical proposal for some and do emphasise that a lot of work would need to be done to ensure that public servants provided such information in the spirit of providing useful information.
What we need is an approach that encourages the disclosure of information of this nature in a timely manner and with that, one that gives individual public servants a direct voice.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I have been thinking more about my suggestion of establishing a secure and anonymous means for public servants to disclose information.
Freedom of information is, I suggest, crucial to innovation within the public service. The focus of the disclosure facility I am suggesting is not so much about whistleblowing as the free flow of information about issues, what needs improving, or is just plain broken. Establishing such a facility would kick start cultural change in relation to disclosure and innovation.
The default position should be anonymous and such disclosures should be public. A critical component would be setting a tone that is ...
... positive. That is not overly difficult as demonstrated by the various AGIMO blog and, of course, the work of the Gov 2.0 Taskforce.
Education to ensure every agency and employee is on the same page as to the purpose of this would be needed and agencies would need to shift their stance on what constitutes risk. I am quite sure the community would prefer their public service to be, as it were, open and inviting in a substantive way.
So the message is Freedom of information is also Freedom of innovation.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I would like to suggest that we do not just dump all our (agency) available data on the "unprepared" public. Refer to my comments on Item 10 – Community Engagement and my electronic submission (27/1/2011).
The community engagement process needs to proceed (open) data release. Driving a community engagement initiative up front will ensure we certainly "prioritorise" the release of high quality data and might also lead to a lot of inconsequential data not being dumped on the public.
I feel once government covers the "key" information that the public requires (it will have done its job on data release – as ...
... far as the community is concerned). The public will judge the open data (release) project and should be given the opportunity to do this, through on-going engagement.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I appreciate that this is a broad policy statement but some of the dot-pointed adjectives are relative terms that need to be spelt out in more detail.
For instance:
If I wanted to know the complications rate from my local hospital, where would the information have to be to be "easily discoverable"? On the hospital website? On the Health Department's website? How would you define "easily discoverable" for people that don't have web access?
If I want access to crime data from the suburb in which I work, what makes it "understandable"? While I haven't read crime data, I would imagine that there ...
... are all sorts of things you need to do make sure the data is not misinterpreted (e.g. standardisation by population). In this case, is it understandable by anyone but only by someone who could be expected to understand similar data?
These issues aren't intractable but they aren't that simple either. Moreover, they are legion.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Also, can you please add another post to facilitate comments on the principles overall? Currently if I have something to say that concerns principle 3 and 6 together (chosen at random), I would have to comment separately on both of them.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
To add to Steve's second point, I offer a third:
3. Building relationships with the media that encourage constructive discussion and analysis of existing information.
This would help to reduce media dives on minor embarrassments, in turn reducing the risk averse approach from APS staff to publishing government data.
The trade off that would probably be required in return is a willingness to engage in a balanced discussion of departmental information, rather than being excessively optimistic in interactions with the media.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I think there also needs to be a greater understanding in the APS of what information will be available in their Agency under a pro-disclosure policy and what is already available under the various senate orders and other mandatory publishing requirements.
I'm sure a lot of people hear "every email you send and every document you produce might be able to be requested under FOI" but think it will never happen to them. At the same time, the senate order on contracts is already publishing huge amounts of data about spending.
I recently saw the Canberra Times concluding in a Page 1 ...
... story that certain agencies were mismanaged because they Direct Source everything (according to the data) when in fact they had simply misclassified a lot of contracts. http://www.itnews.com.au/News/247121,comment-why-agencies-skirt-tender-guidelines.aspx
Ironically, I think that story led a lot of agencies to revise their understanding of that data and improve their processes for reporting it… more than the CFO's annual checks ever have! So even though the premise of the article was bad, the act of making it public and letting the media misinterpret it had some beneficial effect.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
Sir Tim Berners-Lee puts it a bit more simply.
The same star rating should be applied to Australian Government information.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I suspect the major challenge in this area is going to lay in a tendency to over classify information due to the well documented tendency for risk aversion in the public service. As has been commented elsewhere, this is a question of organisational culture.
However, we can be more concrete than just putting this issue in the organisation culture basket by addressing two issues:
1. Providing greater guidance and examples to assist people to classify documents correctly in a world of open information.
2. Having conversations within agencies and on this blog to build an understanding around the fact that just because some ...
... information may be embarrassing does not mean it should not be released to the public.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

To me, there are a few pros and cons to this.Pros:-Stronger-More intimidating-Gives more scoring optionsCons:-More weight on knees(yikes)-Might lose quicknessI am aware that Bayno said that Aldridge didn't lose any quickness. I just hope it stays that way. As for the more weight on knees, I think we are the only team in the NBA who is very aware of weight (Oden anyone?). As long as his knees can handle it, but I'm quite confident in him. He's been pretty consistent with games played.

Comptroller's Office
|Effective: 01/01/2000
Revised: 12/16/2013
To permit reimbursements to faculty and staff for authorized expenditures under the IRS Accountable Plan rules.
University policy
IRS Publication 463 Travel, Entertainment, Gift and Car Expenses
GAO Technical Bulletin 11-08 "Untimely Filed Employee Travel Claims
Background and Basic Policy
For NAU to reimburse faculty and staff for authorized business expenses incurred on behalf of NAU, the reimbursement must meet the requirements outlined in the IRS Accountable Plan rules.
NAU's reimbursment policy incorporates all of the required IRS Acountable Plan rules, as follows:
Faculty and staff must have paid or incurred expenses while performing services as an employee of NAU.
Faculty and staff are required to properly account to NAU for the expenses within a reasonable period of time.
a. Requests for reimbursement of travel related expenses should be within 5 days of return but no longer than 30 days after return.
b. Requests for reimbursement of non-travel related expenses must be requested within 60 days of when the expenses were paid or incurred.
3. Any excess travel advance must be returned to NAU within 30 days of trip return date. If funds are not received within 60 days of return date, the university may pursue
t the funds through payroll deduction.
When these three rules for Accountable Plans are met, reimbursements are not included in the taxable compensation of the faculty or staff. However, if the above requirements are not met, the amount that is paid to the employee is treated as paid under a Nonaccountable Plan and is taxable as compensation, subject to income and payroll taxes, as applicable.
Documentation of Expenses and Original Receipts
Proper documentation is required for reimbursements. Elements of proper documentation include records to establish the following:
Amount of expense
Time and place
Public purpose
Where receipts are required for faculty/staff reimbursement of university expenses that serve a legitimate business need for NAU, the original receipts must be provided. If only an emailed receipt is available, it may stand as the original.
All faculty and staff must adhere to this policy and follow the Accountable Plan rules. These requirements also apply to non-employees (e.g., independent contractors) on University business. If the non-employee does not properly account to the University for their reimbursed expenses, the reimbursement will be reported as compensation to the non-employee.
Post-Payment Adjustment
Subsequent to the initial reimbursement to claimed expenses, an audit or other review may identify an error that resulted in an over- or underpayment to the employee. In these cases, a repayment to the university by the employee, or an additional payment to the employee by the university, may be made.
Travel Expenses
Policy detailing allowable travel expenses can be found in current travel policy on the Comptroller's website.
Business Meals and Food
Faculty and staff may be reimbursed for business meals and other food expenses as outlined in CMP 420-02, Food and Refreshment Policy).
Moving Expenses
New faculty and staff may be reimbursed for moving expenses for moving their household goods and personal effects and for traveling to their new home as outlined in CMP 420-03, Moving Expenses.
Other Expenses
Faculty and staff may procure goods or services for $1,000 or less directly from a vendor and request reimbursement if adequate documentation as described above of the purchase is provided.
Purchases prohibited in CMP 401-03, Prohibited Transactions, or identified in Purchasing 400, Special Procurement, cannot be processed as an employee's reimbursement.
Payments that constitute compensation for services rendered should not be paid for by faculty or staff directly. Compensation includes, but may not be limited to, payments for services performed by employees or independent contractors/consultants, payments for student support, and payment of expenses incurred by an employee or independent contractor/consultant. Additional information can be found on the Accounts Payable web page.
Purchasing Card
The Purchasing Card is the preferred method of making off-campus small-dollar purchases. For more information visit the Purchasing Card web site.
Exception Procedure
Exceptions to the reasonable time period may be filed.
The employee seeking reimbursement will compose an email with the following information:
Nature of the extenuating circumstances that prevented the employee from meeting the accountable plan
Documentation of the expense.
Plan to ensure that an exception request is not required in the future.
The email will be sent to the following people, in this order, for evaluation and approval of the request:
Employee's supervisor
Dean or director
Assoc. Comptroller for Financial Controls ( Box #4069 )
The request may be denied at any of these levels. Common reasons for
denial include repeated requests for exceptions, insufficient
explanation of the circumstances, insufficient plan to prevent
exceptions in the future and lack of an extenuating circumstance.

Riesling Cuvée Frédéric Emile is not produced every year, only when the Trimbach Family believes that the quality of the grapes is high enough to give birth to this wine. All the growing season was perfect during this vintage and the grapes were picked at very good quality level, at 13.0% natural potential alcohol. Thanks to the beautiful and constant air draft coming from the deep valley just behind Ribeauvillé, the grapes were picked ripe and in very healthy conditions. This Riesling is a text-book dry "Frédéric Emile", classic from the best terroirs of Ribeauvillé, which needs 5 years to blossom and then will continue to develop for another 20 years.
"The superbly-concentrated 2002 Riesling Frederic Emile is now on the market – still a touch austere, but with strikingly refined complexity, juicy and penetrating if relatively spare and restrained.
The superbly-concentrated 2002 Riesling Frederic Emile is now on the market – still a touch austere, but with strikingly refined complexity and sheer mineral mass. Broth-like carnal and chalky traits here put one in mind of Chablis. Here is a wine to strain through your teeth, and one possessed of vivacious, ripe acids, with lemon, grapefruit and faintly bitter black fruit notes over a foundation of chalk, leading to a long, juicy finish. Give this another year in your cellar and for it to be worth following for at least another decade thereafter.

A couple of years ago I bought a 6 month access pass to ithemes and I built a couple of sites using the Builder theme.
One of the clients I built a site for now wants some changes, starting with an upgrade of WP as he was running an old version still. however, the upgrade appears to ahve broken the theme as I can now no longer see the Widgets within the Appearance settings.
I understand there is a later version of Builder but surely I must be able to access the basic wordpress features - including widgets - without having to upgrade to a new version of the theme? Please help - I need to remove three widget areas as they are offering services he no longer offers!

TARP team honored as a Sammies finalist
Under enormous pressure, with little time to spare and no playbook to follow, the Treasury Department's newly created Office of Financial Stability (OFS) had to recruit highly qualified staff to administer TARP, build an operation from scratch, negotiate complex agreements to provide hundreds of billions of dollars, and ensure that their decisions were done according to the strict letter of the law and with strong fiscal controls. Timothy Massad, chief counsel, explains how they pulled that off.

They are the forgotten souls in the Staton-Draper prison cemetery in Elmore County, the bodies of inmates charged and convicted of felonies. The inmates died in prison, buried in the cemetery down the road because their families didn't claim them for one reason or another.
"We are not here to judge," said Peggy Shippen to an audience of about 15 during a dedication ceremony.
This is where Peggy Shippen comes in. Fulfilling her dad's dream, Sam Shippen, Peggy and her volunteers with two Master Gardener clubs built three large flower boxes officially known as the 'Freedom Gardens.'
"The idea here is to bring dignity to the cemetery because despite what they've done I believe we're all connected to higher being," said Shippen.
Sam Shippen was a Catholic deacon and very involved in prison ministry. Shippen was troubled by what he saw at the cemetery 20 years ago, a cemetery that was drab, non-descript and clearly a place where people rarely paid a visit. Mr. Shippen died in April of this year.
One garden was built in memory of Sam Shippen while another was constructed in honor of Denise Pavolini, another volunteer who wanted to make this happen. Mrs. Pavolini died 4 days before Shippen.
"This cemetery just didn't have any respect. I'm used to cemeteries with flowers," said Bob Pavolini, Denise's husband.
The gardens are dedicated to those who made bad choices in life. Peggy Shippen says this is more about dignity, Shippen's way of honoring her dad and making a difference through compassion and mercy.
On this day the Freedom Gardens were officially dedicated and now a permanent part of the prison cemetery. Shippen acknowledges not everyone would agree a prison cemetery would deserve such an honorable thing.
"We respect their views and here we are two days before Independence Day and we're all free to express our thoughts and I'm okay with that," said Shippen.
The volunteers say they spent 4 Fridays building the Freedom Gardens. It was a lot of work in the heat but they believe it was worth every minute of it and every penny.
The Alabama Department of Corrections didn't spend a dime on the Freedom Gardens. Volunteers contributed out of their own pockets while the majority of the materials were donated by businesses like Home Depot.
The Staton-Draper prison cemetery is about to receive another body of an inmate who died this week behind bars, one more grave in the Freedom Gardens, another soul Sam Shippen and Denise Pavolini would have welcomed.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- Wausau city leaders hosted law enforcement and government officials from nearby communities Thursday to discuss a possible area-wide ban on driving while talking on cellphones. Alderman Romey Wagner says it's a safety issue that has been brought to him several times. "I brought this forward six or seven months ago as constituents came to me about it, and I felt it would be very difficult for just the city of Wausau police department to have to address this if we passed the ordinance. Bringing the whole group together making it regional or area-wide, I feel is one of the more important things to do, and it seems like we've met everyone's expectations."
Tara Alfonso works with the Wausau City Attorney's office. She drafted two alternates for the possible ordinance, and they were distributed to Weston, Rib Mountain, Kronenwetter, Rothschild, Schofield, and some of the neighboring townships. She says the intent is to keep drivers focussed on driving while giving law enforcement a reasonable way to enforce the ordinance, if passed. "If you have a device and you're not touching it or operating or manipulating it, that device would be OK because it's not interfering with attention on the road."
Alfonso says the two draft ordinances both allow for use of smart phones and GPS units with a clear and simple rule. "The exception in both alternates of the ordinance exempts from a prohibition voice-operated or hands-free devices if the motor vehicle operator is not using his hands to operate them at that time."
Everest Metro Police Department Chief Wally Sparks recommended a change in the language of the proposed ordinance to simply prohibit handling devices and manipulating the devices while the vehicle is moving. "For us to be able to enforce this one, the presumption is in there that if they have a hand-held device within the vicinity of their ear, which is typical of cellphone use, that's a violation, but GPS devices are really, really common. Most people have them. If they don't have the actual GPS aftermarket devices, then they use a lot of their smart phones for this, so incorporating the physical manipulation of those devices (into the ordinance language) I think is an important aspect."
On the state level, Senator Jerry Petrowski is working on a statewide cellphone ban, but it only applies to construction zones. He says with 76 traffic fatalities in work zones, it's important to keep drivers focussed on safe driving first. "When you have those amount of fatalities, having distractions when drivers are going through, is important that we curb that, and I believe a hands-free cellphone would be better, and basically the bill restricts hand-held cellphones in work zones."
Petrowski says there is no statewide cellphone ban outside of the work zone bill being considered by the Legislature, but wouldn't rule it out in the future.

In 1999, the poverty rates for younger workers were about twice as high as the average for all workers.
Among workers age 16 to 19 years, 10.1 percent lived below the poverty level in 1999. For workers age 20 to 24, the poverty rate was about the same: 10.6 percent. These rates are about double the average of 5.1 percent for all workers.
Poverty rates of workers generally declined with age up to age 45. The poverty rates were about the same for workers age 45 to 54, 55 to 64, and 65 and over—all were around 3 percent.
These data on the working poor are from the Current Population Survey. The above figures are for individuals who spent at least 27 weeks in the labor force in 1999. Find out more in "A Profile of the Working Poor, 1999," BLS Report 947 (HTML) (PDF 60K).

Acute retroviral syndrome
Acute retroviral syndrome (ARS) is the first stage of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Symptoms of acute retroviral syndrome are similar to the flu (such as headache, nausea, diarrhea, and body aches) and disappear on their own within weeks.
Even though symptoms of acute retroviral syndrome may disappear, a person is still infected with HIV and can spread the infection. Although there currently is no cure for HIV infection, a combination of medicines called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) helps prolong life for most people.

Worlds end. And Worlds begin.Posted by Rusty Banks in Uncategorized
Writing at the End of the World by Richard Miller
I've been reading Richard Miller's Book about the place of humanities in education and in life. It's a thought-provoking read for anyone working in any purely creative field, though it is written from the prospective of someone who teaches writing.
The book searches for the purpose (point?) of things like poetry, prose, and music through the lens of a handful of tragedy's that have become part of our collective conscience: Columbine, The Unabomber, Chernobyl, 9-11. What place does something like a poem have in a world like this? Further more, what are we to teach people in our fields?
Miller gives part of his answer, or at least a reason for pursuing an answer, at the end of the preface.
"Schools currently provide extensive training in the fact that worlds end; what is missing is training in how to bring better worlds into being."
The book is not a new-agey feel-good testament to the healing power of the written word. It is a rigorous examination of assumptions about the limits of, place of, and usefulness of creative work. It is an exercise in critical optimism.
Educators, especially those in the arts and humanities, will find many of the questions they ask themselves tackled in this well-researched, probing book.

They're not colors I wear often, but I love to wear color when I work out. These tops move with you very well yet stay fitted, but are not constricting. I love the long sleeves, because I can pull them down for warmth or to block the sun. I wear these religiously 3 seasons/year. I am a true medium, and the medium is perfect. It is a little more fitted around the shoulders and top, with a little more room around the waist area so that it's not fitted all the way down (which I appreciate). I will have to exercise control in not buying more colors!
