An attempt by the Victorian government to avoid paying two public servants' relocation expenses has cost almost $120,000 in six months in legal fees – $30,000 more than the workers were initially claiming.
Legal invoices, seen by Fairfax Media, reveal the taxpayer bill from the Department of Primary Industries' fight to deny two officers reimbursements for transferring to another part of the state.
The Community and Public Sector Union said the high taxpayer cost of the legal stoush was a ''shameful waste'' of public resources.
It is the second time this week a government agency under minister Peter Walsh has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money.
A Victoria Ombudsman's report tabled on Tuesday lashed the recently abolished Office of Living Victoria for lacking ''accountability for its use of public funds'', criticising its $10 million spend on consultants, contractors and staff.
In 2012, the two DPI officers were transfered elsewhere in regional Victoria for work, with one of the officers commuting an extra 320 kilometres a day, taking more than three hours, before relocating.
Transfers arising from advertised vacancies or redeployments entitle public servants to reimbursements for costs of the journey to the new location, removal, storage and insurance, as well as costs associated with purchasing a comparable home.
After the legal fight lasting almost a year, the department has paid $17,000 to the workers. The union said one of the workers was paid all of his out-of-pocket expenses, totalling $11,000, plus the cost of stamp duty when he buys a house closer to his new workplace, which is yet to be calculated and paid. The other worker, whose relocation was not as far, received $6000, which was less than he had initially claimed.
CPSU state secretary Karen Batt said the government had been ''crying poor to justify savage cuts'', but the minister seemed ''happy to feed his hungry lawyers''.
''The whole sorry saga provides an insight into the government's approach to their workforce ... the department deliberately concocted an artificial argument to deprive two valued employees of their rightful entitlement.''
A spokesman for the Department of Environment and Primary Industries said it was committed to providing relocation assistance where warranted, but stressed the importance of considering the legitimacy of claims.
"The department is conscious of the need to carefully consider applications for relocation assistance to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria," the spokesman said.
The settlement was subject to a confidentiality clause and the department could not comment further.

Studies Suggest Higher Risk Of Blood Clots With Some Birth Control Pills
A couple of papers just published by the British Medical Journal add to the evidence that the latest type of birth control pills may confer a higher risk of blood clots than older kinds of oral contraceptives.
The newer pills — including Yaz and Yasmin — contain a synthetic hormone called drospirenone. Many older contraceptives rely on levonorgestrel, another type of the progestin hormone.
As NPR's Richard Knox reported last year, Yaz quickly became the best-selling birth control pill in the U.S. after its introduction in 2006. More than
Here's a recap of the latest data.
In an analysis of a sample of U.S. insurance claims, the researchers found that women taking contraceptives with drospirenone had more than twice the risk of developing blood clots than those taking contraceptives that used levonorgestrel. The rates of blood clots (as calculated using the number per years of 100,000 women taking the medicines) was 30.8 for drospirenone and 12.5 for levonorgestrel.
A second study looked at cases of blood clots in British women who started taking an oral contraceptive containing either the new kind of progestin or the older one. The researchers found women taking the drosperinone contraceptives had a 2.7 times greater risk of developing a blood clot than those taking the older type. The rates for clots were 23 vs. 9.1 (again calculated using the clots per years of 100,000 women taking the medicines).
So what does it all mean? The increased risk suggested by these studies is about two to three times those from older pills, but the chances that any particular woman taking the newer medicines will get a blood clot is still pretty low.
Still, the studies aren't definitive, as editorial in BMJ notes. Women concerned about the issue could consider other, older options, if there's no medical reason to rule them out.
In a statement, Bayer, maker of Yaz and Yasmin, criticized the studies as flawed and affirmed the safety of its pills. "Given the already large and robust scientific body of evidence, in Bayer's opinion, these studies do not change the overall assessment about the safety of Bayer's oral contraceptives," the company said.

Vt. man facing arson charge in horse barn fireThe Associated Press | March 22,2013MONKTON - A 31-year-old Vermont man is being charged with setting fire to a horse barn in Monkton that he owned with his wife.

The barn was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived after a resident reported seeing "an orange glow" in the area of the barn.
There were no injuries and none of the 14 horses being kept at the barn at the time were hurt.

The traffic signs in this photo, taken by Wave editor Howard Schwach, are in front of the new Rockaway Diner on Beach 116 Street. The signs, constructed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) make some things clear. You cannot park or stand in that section of curb unless you're a truck driver from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Also, the streetcleaning hours are from 7:30 to 8 a.m. every day but Sunday. So far, so good. You can park there and feed the meters on Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. A question remains, however. What happens between 6 and 7 p.m. on weekdays? Can you park there at all? Do you have to feed the meter? What to do? The DOT says that their signs are all adequate for anybody who can read. Perhaps, perhaps not.

In desperate need of a complete rebuild the Cubs have started to do just that by adding plenty of high-end talent through the draft. This year's Top 15 list is littered with players that were either nowhere to be found last year or had just been signed out of Latin America. The Cubs have a lot of building to do but this list of raw, high-ceiling players puts them on the road to doing just that.
1. Javier Baez – SS (Last Year's Rank: 2)
Baez represents one of the most impressive raw offensive talents in the minor leagues. While his game requires refinement and maturity, Baez could have plus-plus grades for both his hitting ability and power. His approach will have to catch up with his raw talent, but his offensive ceiling is undeniable. Scouts question his ability to stick at shortstop long term and his bat could progress fast enough that his move down the defensive spectrum – likely to third base – could come quickly.
2. Jorge Soler – OF (NR)
Once Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes signed with the A's, the next big Cuban domino to fall was Jorge Soler. The Cubs were rumored to be in the mix very early on and they ended up inking to a massive deal. Soler profiles as power-hitting middle of the order threat that fits squarely in right field. The Cubs could get aggressive with him and send him to High-A in 2013, but don't expect him to fly through the system.
3. Albert Almora – OF (NR)
This may seem low for the Cubs top pick last June, but it is more a testament to the impressive talent ahead of him. Almora has the potential to become a first-division player in center field and he has a chance to move much quicker than the two players above him on this list. While he lacks the individual standout tools of Soler and Baez, his wealth of solid-average to plus tools makes him a relatively safe bet to reach his ceiling.
4. Arodys Vizcaino – RHP (NR)
The Cubs received Vizcaino as part of the package that sent Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm to the Braves. After missing the 2012 season with injury, Vizcaino will have a chance to take on a major role in the Cubs bullpen in 2013. With a power fastball that can get into the mid-90s with ease and a quality breaking ball, health is the only thing holding Vizcaino back from being an impact big-leaguer.
5. Christian Villanueva – 3B (NR)
Villanueva will never be mistaken for a star but you also have a difficult time finding a scout that doesn't view him as a big leaguer. An excellent defender, Villanueva has the profile to stick at third base and be an asset while there. Villanueva's bat doesn't carry the same profile but he has enough hitting ability and pop to hit sixth or seventh in a lineup, making him a solid regular.
6. Dan Vogelbach – 1B (9)
I openly admit a general dislike for first-base prospects. With a first-base only profile, there is almost no margin for error in the development of the offensive skill set. Vogelbach has the type of offensive tools – in approach, hitting ability and legitimate power – but that set of skills has to fully mature for him to be an impact player at an offense-oriented position. I like Vogelbach's bat, but my predisposition against first base prospects pushes him down in my rankings.
7. Brett Jackson – OF (1)
The drop from #1 to #7 isn't as extreme as it may seem. The drop speaks to the infusion of talent into the system over the last year and also represents an acknowledgement of the warts in Jackson's game. Jackson has average defensive potential in center field and he has some pop in his bat, but the swing and miss issues are very real, limiting his ultimate offensive ceiling. Jackson will contribute in the big leagues but he lacks the star power of many of the prospects ahead of him on this list.
8. Pierce Johnson – RHP (NR)
Johnson was a first-round pick in June and he could slot in the middle of a future Cubs rotation. Johnson's physicality has come into question, particularly as he misses more time with injuries. When healthy, he shows a solid-average fastball and curveball, along with a cut-fastball and change-up that are at least useable. If he can stay healthy, Johnson has the raw stuff and feel for pitching to slot in the number three slot of a big league rotation.
9. Arismendy Alcantara – SS (NR)
Alcantara doesn't always get the love he deserves, at least in part because he missed time with a broken foot over the summer. A 21-year old switch hitter, Alcantara is a very natural hitter with plus-plus hitting potential and the ability to spray line drives to all fields. He has some pop in his bat and could be a dynamic offensive option at a premium defensive position. His actions fit at shortstop and he just needs to settle down and let the game come to him more.
10. Dillon Maples – RHP (3)
Injuries held Maples back in 2012 and he pitched only 10 1/3 innings for the year. When healthy he can run his fastball up to 96 mph with tons of late life and his curveball has plus potential. Even before the actual injuries in 2012, there were concerns about Maples durability because he has effort in his delivery and his arm doesn't always keep up with the rest of his body. Maples has an enormous ceiling but comes with enormous risk as well, and without health, he may fit better in relief.
11. Duane Underwood – RHP (NR)
I was very high on Underwood entering the 2012 draft, and to be quite honest, I'm surprised by my own ranking of him. He very well could show up as a mistake in my Accountability Check next year, but this is where he seems to fit for me. With a fastball that can reach 97 mph when he needs it, Underwood has tremendous velocity and surprising feel for both his curveball and change-up. For all his raw gifts, Underwood is far more thrower than pitcher at this time and he will require a lot of development to reach his considerable ceiling.
12. Junior Lake – SS (10)
Lake forces a great divide among some scouts, showing incredible raw tools but precious little ability to translate them to game action. He is a supreme athlete but doesn't seem natural at shortstop, leaving him as a man likely destined to move down the defensive spectrum. He has some hitting ability, mitigated by an aggressive approach, and some pop in his bat as well, but it never seems to consistently play in game situations. Despite his extensive minor league experience, Lake remains a boom or bust prospect.
13. Jeimer Candelario – 3B (15)
Candelario draws attention for his offensive potential. His approach is highly refined for a player his age and allows his natural hitting ability to shine through. He can hit a variety of pitches to all fields and can also drive those pitches with power. Though he is listed as a third baseman now, Candelario does not project to stick at the position and lacks the athleticism for an outfield corner, making him a first baseman and putting a ton of pressure on the bat.
14. Luis Acosta – SS (NR)
Acosta represents a bit of a long shot on this list but his tools are hard to ignore, particularly for someone like me with an affection for loud tools. He can already drive the ball to fall fields with hard line drives where the ball explodes off his bat. With that ability at such a young age, Acosta has outstanding offensive upside. Defensively, he is likely destined for an outfield spot long term, but if his bat matures as projected, that won't matter.
15. Marco Hernandez – SS (14)
Hernandez has the defensive tools to play on both sides of the infield with at least average ability. His shortstop defense is solid, if unspectacular, and he can make all the necessary plays. He is a bit of a hacker at the plate but has the easy contact ability to make it work. With added strength he could develop gap power, making him a quality utility player and possibly a second-division starter.

Polaroid Z340 Camera Printer Review
Terribly convenient, but also terrible printer.
Appealing to users that remember the Polaroid instant cameras of old, the Japanese company rolled out the Z340 recently, that gives users instant photos, but this time, they allow you to store them digitally. Unfortunately, it seems like nostalgia is the only thing that will draw users to printing their photos with this device, because frankly, they're awful.

I use 1 click publish to a few servers to deploy website from VS2010. All servers are running IIS7 under Windows 2008R2.
1 server is a bit special because it listens to port 80 but the firewall will map this to port 80 internally on that server.
Now I am trying to setup web publishing there too, but I always keep getting 404 from the publisher. I use these settings: https://192.168.3.51:8172/msdeploy.axd Site/application: DeployFrontend
The site is exactly the same as in IIS7.
I tried even switching to port 80 again but still no luck.
What could be wrong here? The logs don't give me anything either.

My first Maytag and I am thrilled! I was not sure about the new concept, but the water sensor and no agitator work flawlessly. I like the idea of using only the water needed for the size of the load and this washer seems to spin dry the clothes better than any I've ever had previously...hence, less dryer time!I've even put in my king size bedspread and had no problems with the capacity of this washer.It's a win-win machine for sure!

I'm not please with the Locking feature but understand the purpose as this is a very different design that most washers (water saving feature). But it is very loud and I've found that sometimes my clothes are not consistently cleaned (dry spots on the fabric, fabrics appeared scrunched up more than any washer used in the past, and streaks of residue, not sure if that is lint or what). I would not recommend this model.

Too many breaks
By Self help and Do it yourself-er
from STL
I've had this washer for over 2 years. PURCHASED NEW. 2 days before my 1 year warranty, it broke and the repair people had to come and fix it. Here it is another 13 months later and it is broke again. The entire unit won't start. As if there is no power, or the start button doesn't work. I'm trying to find information on the internet to repair it myself. I've ran the diagnostics, but can not find anywhere in the manual or online, what the light up buttons mean after the diagnostics are ran. I have a feeling it is a simple switch on the hideous locking mechanism on the washer, which sucks when you find out you dropped a sock or 1 article of clothing. Come on Maytag, this machine does not have a huge agitator, I can't imagine I'd have my arm ripped off if I threw in a last minute pair of socks, bra or article of clothing.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

poorly made washer
By Very disappointed
from Gastonia NC
We have had this washer for two and a half years. Within the first year we had to have the water pump replaced and had to have the transmission replaced about six weeks ago. Now when the washer tries to sense the load to sense the amount of water for the load it just makes a humming noise and won't do anything. I am going out today to buy a new washer which won't be a Maytag and I will junk this one after only two and a half years.
Piece of Junk
By Unhappy Camper
from Florida
No Stars. Minus ZERO.
Absolutely the worst machine I have ever owned!
By Nomore Maytags
from Richardson, TX
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE MAYTAG name and hype! I am MORE than disappointed in this Maytag Product. This machine has never cleaned my clothes thoroughly. It goes out of balance multiple times during the wash cycle. Many, many wash loads are partially dry when the wash cycle has completed. If you prefer clean clothes after washing, then I do not recommend this machine. THE WARRANTY IS USELESS! At the time of purchase I was given a booklet indicating the machine had a 10 year limited parts warranty for the motor, when in reality this is untrue. To compound the poor performance of the product, the Maytag Warranties are pretty much useless! Even if Maytag/Whirlpool honors a limited parts 10 year warranty, it is only for two parts of the motor (not even the motor as a whole) and it does not cover the service fees required to install it. So you just have to know that after year one, if anything goes out ... plan to buy a new machine.

Terrible washing machine
By frustratedconsumer69
from Houston, Texas
I bought this washer a few years ago. I have replaced many parts on it in that short time. Sometimes it washes properly, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes your clothes "seem" clean, sometimes they don't. The "trouble shooting" section of the manual is terrible.. I am forced to continue to replace parts until it starts (and stays) working properly.FYI, I have had similar results with my Maytag dishwasher.. I have had to replace multiple parts on that as well (mainly the control panel @ $150.00 each time).. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER buy another Maytag product!
My last Maytag
By Ehren
from Lebanon, IN
Well, It almost lasted 4 years. Became noisier by the load, to the point we couldn't bear to be in the house while it was on the spin cycle. Once it became worse than intermittent when attempting to sense at the beginning of the cycle, sometimes taking half an hour to start, replacement became inevitable. Hard to believe a formerly reliable brand couldn't last for 700 loads of laundry.
Highly Disappointed!
By karmalady
from 28120
I would never buy another maytag appliance. The washer does not clean my clothes and there is always lint left on the clothes and because of this I have to sometimes hand rinse my clothes. I have used the clean washer cycle with not avail, have sometimes ran the cycle after each load. This takes a lot of water and electric so as of now I have chosen to use the laundromat until I can purchase a new washer, it will definitely not be a MAYTAG.

Subway Sandwich Artist Foils Robbery, Throws Soup At Thief in Ghost Mask
Thanks to the seasonal boom in masks and disguises, Halloween is prime time for criminals. That is, unless they tangle with the wrong sandwich slinger...
Thanks to the seasonal boom in masks and disguises, Halloween is prime time for criminals. That is, unless they tangle with the wrong sandwich slinger...
Heather O'Rourke, the actress who played little Carol Anne Freeling in the 'Poltergeist' films, would have turned 37 this year, if she hadn't passed away at the age of 13 from a chronic illness. To this day, YouTube users create tribute videos memorializing O'Rourke, with results ranging from charming to downright strange.
Apparently people haven't always celebrated Halloween the way that we do today, which is weird, because we sort of assumed "Sexy Referee Costume" was one of those timeless classics that had been around since the days of ancient Rome. It turns out people used to actually be kind of charming and thoughtful, instead of just smearing their bodies with glitter and pointedly refusing to drink anything less than 100 proof. Here's an example.
If you're thinking of celebrating Halloween by going to a haunted house attraction, you also might want to schedule an appointment with a psychologist the following morning.
It's Halloween in just a few short days, and that means a lot of brains: Frankenstein monsters looking for them, zombies munching on them, aliens exposing them in creepy experiments...
Dressing up our furry friends means they're usually subject to embarrassment among other pups. However, we think it's the small price they pay for being so darn adorable. That being said, we've already made our Star-Wars-meets-puppies obsession pretty clear, what with the discovery of Ewok dogs and Princess Leia pugs. Could the fantasy flick and canine combo get any cuter?! Luckily for us, yes.
Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early. The fourth annual event, put on by the folks at Forced Meme Productions, gives people the chance to dress up like their favorite internet sensations. There were lots of McKayla Maroneys and Psys, but people also repped some less-popular memes as well. Skull Trumpet and High Expectations Asian Father both made appearances, and of course there was a 'Gangnam Style' dance-off and plenty of Honey Boo Boos. Here is all that, plus our personal faves.
Not content with typical card tricks or a rabbit in a hat, magician Rich Ferguson puts a spooky Halloween spin on his act by literally losing his head in front of freaked-out spectators. How in the world does he do it?
This Halloween season, if you're going to get lost in a corn maze, it may as well be a cool one. That way when you're recounting your weekend to your bros you can say, "I totally got lost in Darth Vader's nostril," instead of, "I got stuck in a bunch of corn for like six hours and was crying like a little girl." Cred = intact. Here are 10 corn mazes we wouldn't mind merrily traipsing through. Or, you know, conquering like a boss.
Between your foolproof stencil of Justin Bieber's face and an endless supply of premium 99 cent carving tools, you probably envisioned yourself minutes away from that dreamy pop star pumpkin glowing all over your neighbors' jealous faces. What could go wrong?
Few things are most satisfying than pulling off a really, really good prank. We're talking about the scare-your-pants-off kind that leaves our unsuspecting little siblings and friends falling victim to tons of spazzing out and the occasional tear or two. Basically, it's the best kind of mean joke around, but it's all in good fun!
A few weeks back, a tiny baby burrito kicked off our craving for kids dressed in food costumes. (Not for actual baby. We're not zombies or anything.) It's such a simple concept, yet it yields such hilarious results. Talk about Halloween genius at its finest. Luckily, we can continue laughing and aww-ing over miniature tasty attire, thanks to the 'Babies in Food Costumes' Tumblr.
You GUYS! It's almost Halloween! We sincerely love Halloween around here, in case you hadn't noticed. Here's one way we've been getting into the spirit of the season -- awesome Halloween light shows. Some of them are more traditional ('The Haunted Manion,' 'Monster Mash'), whereas other are scary in a more timely way -- what could be more terrifying than a giant light-up neon pumpkin singing 'Call Me Maybe'?
We've seen a lot of incarnations of Psy's 'Gangnam Style.' Even still, we never predicted we would see the song in spooky Halloween light show form.

Healthy Meals at Home continued...
Little Dippers: Set out a "party tray" of vegetables and fruits for your family, Fischer suggests. Mix it up with interesting, lower-fat dips -- even melted chocolate and strawberries once in a while for dessert.
Freezer-to-Table Main Dish: "For a dinner that's ready in seven or eight minutes, start with a frozen healthy meal like Healthy Choice or Lean Cuisine," Fischer says. "They don't give you a lot of meat, which is good." If you use a frozen-in-the-bag vegetable dinner, don't add much meat; keep it the size of your palm, she adds. "Some huge chicken breasts are enough for two servings."
Speedy Side Dishes: Keep frozen, canned, or fresh veggies on hand to round out a healthy meal. "A lot of frozen vegetables are frozen fresh, right on the spot, so they still have all the nutrients," Fischer says. "Canned vegetables are also good. And you need some fresh vegetables, like celery, carrots, and tomatoes and fresh fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and grapes."
Quick Baked Potato: It's a perfect addition to a healthy meal, and you can get oven-baked taste in less time than you think. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Wash the potato, then microwave on high for about 4 minutes. Rinse it again so it's wet. Finish baking in oven for 10 to 15 minutes. "It's nice and crispy outside, with the texture of an oven-baked potato inside," Fischer says.
Quick Chicken Dinner: Chicken is a yummy beginning to a nice, lean meal, Fisher says. Skin a whole chicken. Then shake on the spices -- lemon pepper, Cajun spice, or paprika. Thyme and rosemary can go into the cavity, if you like. Place chicken in an oven-cooking bag. Then microwave on high for 10 minutes.
"I arrange the chicken on a platter of lettuce, surrounded by fresh asparagus or green beans or both, lots of grapes, orange slices," Fischer tells WebMD. "People can pick and choose whatever they want. It makes a marvelous steamed chicken."
Easy Black Bean Soup: Soup is a great filler-upper and can be a very healthy meal. Heat black beans and corn (frozen or canned) in the microwave. Ladle into bowls. Top with any of these: chopped tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, black olives, shredded reduced-fat cheese, "plus a few lime slices, to make it look really pretty," says Fischer.

Files are being created in ../wp-content/cache but as stated - don't appear to be served and there's no "supercache" action happening at all!
Also noted, with super cache (or cache) enabled, my sites RSS feed invalidates. As soon as it's off it's fixed. Noticed a few other posts on this - but no solution.

Played the free hour with the given $1000 did 100 bets on blackjack, afterwards moved to Roulette and set my bets on all odd numbered. Ended up there at $1105 and got the $100 bonus. I deposited $100 and the bonus was put on my casino account as well. Played there some risky hands and stopped playing at reaching 385$.
I didn't play the full wager requirement because I already won 185$. So I forgot about the bonus (wagering requirement b&d x20) and withdrew to my MoneyBookers.

I apologise in advance if this is a silly or easy question but I really need an answer ASAP.
I have been asked to make some simple modification to a web page for a client. They already have a website from a previous web designer and want to give the website to me as he has quit.
The old web designer asked me for my 'root.'
I never hosted a website before, only created and hence I have no idea what he's on about. I thought he would just pass his login details and that's all.
What does he mean?

We enjoyed this simple-to-make dish using the Snapper option . Some of the ingredients were unfamiliar to me so I used green onions for the spring greens, rice wine for the Chinese wine and cornstarch for the corn flour. Thanks for sharing!

Skip to comments.Parents accused of flying to Vegas, leaving kids alone
Posted on 03/21/2012 7:39:08 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement
Child endangerment charges have been filed against an Uptown couple accused of flying to Las Vegas and leave their two children, 12 and 9, home alone for nearly two days, police said.
The couple took the trip last month, but the charges were not filed until this week, according to police. Shanpreta Howard, 34, and Antowain Johnson, 36, of the 4800 block of North Winthrop Avenue, are both charged with two misdemeanor counts of endangering the health and life of a child.
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
Did anything bad happen to the children?
A 9 and 12 year old are fine alone during the day but two days is a bit much in today's world.
12 years old is old enough to baby sit. I don't see what the issue is here.
It wasn't that long ago that people married at 12 and 13
My parents left me home for 8 hours as a 12 year old and boy what a mess I made of the house.....never let me stay home alone again. lol. I just wanted to cook and made a big mess of the kitchen.
Shanpreta and Antowain... clearly traumatized by the names given to them by their own parents.
I disagree. For a few hours or an afternoon, sure, depending on the children, but overnight? No way.
>> Shanpreta Howard, 34, and Antowain Johnson, 36,
Funny... I didn't think the Amish were *into* gambling!
I was babysitting for money at 12.
Pretty sure 12 year old is legal to babysit in most states... 2 days might be a bit of a stretch in terms of time unless you have a relative of neighbor close by/checking in on them, but I don't know if I'd make a federal case out of it.
I don't know if I'd personally do it, but a 12 yo and a 9 yo should be able to survive okay for a couple of days.
I agree, my son could handle such things at that age without any issues.
It's right on the line for me. If it was just a 12 year old, still not thrilled, but I could see it depending on the maturity of the 12 year old.
If it were a 14 year old and a 9 year old, two days is about the limit with frequent phone calls.
But I sure wouldn't suggest a 12 and a 9 year old alone for 2 days.
Does it rise to the level of "child endangerment"? I think that is an overreach by the government.
My parents went somewhere for several days when my brother and I were that age. We went to school during the days, and a neighbor's teenager, 16 or so, came over in the evenings to help us fix supper, and spent the night. Kids that age can be reasonably responsible, but for that length of time, I think sensible parents would have arranged someone to check on them and be available in an emergency.
Guess that race ...
more on the story (with plenty of pictures)
With both parents working, my sisters and I were home alone pretty much every day.
Having once been a Pit Boss at a casino, I can tell you that they are definitely *into* gambling. They also like to blame dealers for "taking" their rent money, light bill payments, children's shoes, etc. I often spoke up to point out that the dealer didn't "take" anything, it was willingly put on the table and lost.
I was babysitting for money at 12 as well...
For two days - that's a bit much. Don't think that neglect comes into play here though.
The chicago tribune doesn't care one bit about these kids. The story is meant to show how bad parents are and confirm the rightness of abortion. This is a disguised abortion story.
My Mom and Dad would leave for days.
But I kept finding them.
Hey - it's not like they sent the kids to Mexico with 12 of their friends.
>> Having once been a Pit Boss at a casino, I can tell you that they are definitely *into* gambling.
I defer to your real-world experience, but help me understand: are you talking about genuine buggy-riding Amish, or "Free Republic Quote-Unquote Amish"? :-)
Thx and FRegards
>> Those silly Amish and their Biblical names.
Refresh my memory, what book do those characters show up in? Is it I Yohomie, or II Whassup?
>> Flying to Vegas to gamble is NOT an emergency.
Not even if the brotha has, like, a REALLY bad gambling Jones?
The answer to that had been already provided:
They also like to blame dealers for "taking" their rent money, light bill payments,
Besides, I'm sure some of the true Amish might say that gambling is a sin.
I agree, and said as much:
"2 days might be a bit of a stretch in terms of time unless you have a relative of neighbor close by/checking in on them"
If they were completely on their own with no one checking on them at all for 2 days, that is definitely getting into a grey area.
However if they arranged for someone (neighbor, relative) to pop in and check in on them, I don't think 2 days is something that is worthy of anything. I don't think I'd personally do that, but I don't think its endangerment.
We have a winner!
I would imagine a couple of kids 9 and 12 would love to have mom and dad go off to Vegas for a weekend here and there.
I know I did.
And if there had been a medical emergency NO ONE would have been there to authorize care... and that's the least of it. Baby sitting is for a few hours. The folks left for several days. And pardon me it is a loooong time ago that people married when they were 12 or 13 ( certainly not in the modern era and less so even in the 1800s)
>> The answer to that had been already provided... *light bill payments*
(smacking forehead) Ah! Duh! You made the lights come on! Thanks!
Ha ha ha...well I guess if it's REALLY bad.
I was just agreeing and giving an example ;-).
It seemed from the article that no provision was made for any supervision of the children until the boy told a teacher they'd been left alone. At that point, a relative was contacted to watch over them.
"And if there had been a medical emergency NO ONE would have been there to authorize care"
In a medical emergency authorization is not needed.
"A 9 and 12 year old are fine alone during the day "
Obviously, you've never been to Uptown before. Even as a grown man, in the middle of the day, I try to stick to the main thoroughfares and get out as fast as possible. It's like the Mos Eisley spaceport from Star Wars... wretched hive of scum and villainy.
"Not even if the brotha has, like, a REALLY bad gambling Jones?"
Not when they built a Casino in Rosemont that is like 20 minutes away by car.
Not always true. Life threatening and medical emergemcy are not the same. Minor children have no ability to approve medical treatment. Guardians and parents or courts do and sometimes docs have to get court permission unless it is life threatening....
"Guardians and parents or courts do and sometimes docs have to get court permission unless it is life threatening...."
Right, "life threatening" being the important phrase.
If my child has a broken leg ( as opposed to an appendicitis attack) I still want that treated sooner rather than later. It is not considered life threatening but I want it handled today.
These parents were self centered in the extreme. They wanted to go so they did. Not good parenting by any measure
I do believe a child with a broken leg would be treated even if no adult was around to give permission. A broken leg is indeed life threatening.
However, I'd never leave my twelve year old with no adult supervision for two days.

Strange Tales From Other WorldsTue 10 May 2016 by Jim Purbrick
At the end of last year, Michael Brunton-Spall and Jon Topper asked me if I would like to give the opening keynote at Scale Summit as I had "lots of experience scaling weird things", by which they meant Second Life and EVE Online. I immediately thought of The Corn Field, a place in Second Life that is a reference to an episode of The Twilight Zone where naughty avatars were sent to think about what they had done. Several more bizarre anecdotes quickly came to mind and soon I had a talk: Strange Tales From Other Worlds. A few people who couldn't make it to Scale Summit mentioned that they wanted to hear the talk, but the recording I made at Scale Summit was somewhat disapointing. Luckily I was invited to give the talk again a few weeks ago to the Oculus team at Facebook London and made a Keynote recording which I've now uploaded to YouTube here. The strange tales are mostly true, but a few errors snuck in to the second telling: firstly MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon and secondly I forgot to credit Brian Bossé for his amazing work on TiDi the second time around.

Medical education faces problems caused by increasing restraints on resources. A multicenter consortium combined simulation and multimedia computer-assisted instruction (MCAI) to develop unique interactive teaching programs that can address a number of these problems. We describe the consortium, the MCAI system, the programs, and a multicenter evaluation of technical and educational performance.
The MCAI system uses computer-controlled access to full-screen, full-motion, and full-color laser disc video in combination with digitized sound, images, and graphics stored on removable media. The Socratic teaching method enhances interaction and guides learners through the patient's history, cardiovascular physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and therapy. Self-instruction and instructor-led modes of function are possible. The first five programs, based on simulations of specific cardiology problems, were distributed to four medical centers. Questionnaires evaluated technical function and medical student opinions, while behaviors and scores were automatically tracked and tabulated by program administration software.
The MCAI system functioned reliably and accurately in all modes and at all sites. The programs were highly rated. Student ratings, scores, and behaviors were independent of institution and mode of use.
A multicenter educational consortium developed a system to produce unique, sophisticated MCAI programs in cardiology. Both system and programs functioned reliably at four institutions and were highly rated by fourth-year medical students. With this enthusiastic reception, the economies and strengths associated with MCAI make it an attractive solution to a number of problem areas, and it will likely play an increasingly important role.(Arch Intern Med. 1995;155:197-203)

Video: Michele Bachmann challenged by "gay robot"
Post your comment

none story -move on!
none story – move on!
How stuffin' ridiculous! and this is News? What is worse, Hollywood fantasy, or American Politics..?
Well when it involves a protential US president hopeful it is news and needs to be too.
Every story about Michele Beardman and her not-at-all-gay husband only serves to keep them in the spotlight. There's way more interesting things happening in the world.
Very WEAK Mr Professor – See me! Could try harder.
Not Bender out of Futurama by any chance?
Can we please drop bringing attention to this arduous situation? It is just this type of heckling that strips us of our legitimacy and paints us no better than her antiquated attempts to undermined evolving intelligence. We further mutate our cause and add credibility to Mrs. Bachmann and her unique husband's platform.
She needs to be highlighted for the bigot she is, any attempt to silence the media on this is dangerous!
This wasn't about challenging Bachmann about her bigotry.
This was about someone seeking publicity.
Michele Bachmann's husband Marcus Bachmann is a gay robot hiding in deep space on planet Uranus and working for the evil dark xtian side and Emperor Popeatine to use their evil ex gay rays on LGBT people to destroy their minds and make them into gay robots like them. May the gay force be with you to over come these forces of xtian evil who seek to destroy all LGBT people on planet earth using their hidden war they are using in secret to destroy the gays from with in. Tricking the gays into fighting false enemies which waste the gays time and money while the evil xtians spend million in gold to destroy the gays with their secret xtian army. But there is still hope the gays can defeat the evil xtians before it is too late. May the gay force be with you.
That wasn't the robot I wanted to watch challenging Michelle Bachman. His delivery was pants. Why couldn't we book a Dalek instead or perhaps the Terminator?
Hell, Wall-e would've been an improvement on that.
Michelle ,you're done lady ,stop using Gay people for scapegoats .
You might become a better lady/women /mother if you thought outside of the box .
*as* not for scapegoats .
The fact he was booed says it all really. These people are so ugly and thankfully Michelle Bachmann doesn't stand a chance. Of course that will be our fault, somehow.
Here's our interview with the "Robot," University of Iowa Professor Kembrew McLeod, on who he is, why he dresses as a robot, and the effectiveness of pranks and pranking.

So if I disallow Digg digg on my homepage, it prevents other shares run. How can I solve that ?

The Arts Bus receives grant
RANDOLPH The Arts Bus Project picked up some help from Green Mountain United Way recently in the form of a grant to support the publication and distribution of its new book, Children, Trauma and the Arts.
The Arts Bus regularly drives to more than 10 villages in Orange, Windsor and Washington counties to give children an opportunity to discover their innate creativity, guided by inspiring artist-mentors. A mobile art studio, library, music space and theater, the project is able to bring the visual, performing and literary arts to kids in rural areas.
Grants are based on targeted areas of income, education and health. To be considered for a grant, local nonprofit organizations must exhibit how they will positively affect the eventual financial stability, improved early education of local children, or healthy food and physical activity choices made by those participating in these programs.
For more information about the Arts Bus, visit www.artsbus.org, or email director Cynthia Sandusky at email@example.com. Visit www.gmunitedway.org for information about Green Mountain United Way, or call 229-9532.MORE IN This Just In

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $2.60 (20% off)
Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Posted by Reviewer1878537 on Feb 20, 2011
Canada I haven't tried for too long, but seems up to the job. It is not sudsy, more like a cream that you have to put on scalp and leave for a while to clear the dandruff. I find that it cannot be used on its own, but combined with another shampoo at the end. I'll use once a week as a treatment and I hope it will be ok. The smell is strong, smells like sulphur but it's not that strong. Update:unfortunately, the shampoo doesn't work for me anymore. it makes my hair oily and the dandruff is back just as before...so sad,I had high hopes..:(
I'm not sure...
Posted by Reviewer3088677 on Apr 07, 2009
I have been using this shampoo for a little over a month now and my scalp is still flaky. The bottle is almost empty and at this point I'm not sure whether it's worth it to buy it again. Also, it has a very strong scent. It took me a while to get used to it and even now I still can't say that I like it.
Not really impressed
Posted by Reviewer2795166 on Mar 16, 2010
I have been using this for two weeks without any noticeable benefit.
The smell is too much for me to bear
Posted by Reviewer1733570 on Nov 26, 2012
I have only gotten to use it once and so has my wife, so can't tell too much about its effectiveness even though for a one time it seems good for dandruff control. I personally don't remember to have ever complained about a shampoo's smell and even if this one is not quite repulsive, I don't like it and I may have lived with that but it is very intense and persists for days

I tried this for my teenage son, but it wasn't fabulous. His dandruff improved a bit, but the sulpur smell was very strong and made his clothes smell as well.
Treatment Shampoo
Posted by 4897041006238789914 on Feb 02, 2014
I did not like. Smells under tapping French perfume. Stanovjatsja thin hair. And you feel the client depilatory salon. The impression that you do not get rid of dandruff and hair from. More deshovy shampoo I liked more. And all this, something with something.
Didn't work for me
Posted by lisamaree on Nov 29, 2015
This made my scalp worse not better and it is very strong smelling as well which I didn't like

Clothes and accessories
Make sure you wear clothing which is appropriate for cycling. You should be able to move freely without items covering your lights or getting caught in your bike's chain and wheels. It's important to dress to be seen, so consider wearing:
- light-coloured or fluorescent clothing that helps other road users to see you in daylight and poor light; and
- reflective clothing and/or accessories e.g. a belt or arm/ankle bands when it is dark.
