The night before the House Education Committee took up a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition, Rep. Robert Ramirez got a call from his Aunt Elena in Mexico.
"Bobby, this is Tia Elena," he recalled her saying. "I talked to your father, and I think it (the bill) is a bad idea for you to do this in the United States."
Ramirez, the only Latino Republican in the House, said he was pulled in multiple directions by fellow Latinos before he cast a crucial vote Monday against Senate Bill 126, killing it on a 7-6 party-line vote.
The freshman lawmaker from Westminster had even been lobbied by former Denver Mayor Fed erico Peña, who, Ramirez said, asked only that he keep an open mind on the bill.

Others in the Latino community were more insistent.
"I actually had people saying that because I was Latino, I should vote for it," Ramirez said. "And I told them straight up, 'That is the most racist comment I've ever heard in my life.'
"That's basing what I should do on my skin color or name."
Under the legislation, students who had attended a Colorado high school for at least three years and graduated would have been eligible to receive an "unsubsidized" in-state tuition rate at public colleges and universities. That is, they would have paid the in-state tuition rate but would not have gotten something called the Colorado Opportunity Fund scholarship, basically a direct subsidy provided to every student.
The students would have had to pay the difference — $62 per credit hour, which comes out to be $1,860 for 30 credit hours spread over a full year.
The bill also would have required qualifying students to sign an affidavit stating they had applied for lawful status to be in the United States.
Ramirez said the vote was tough for him because he does not think the country should be creating a permanent uneducated subclass. On the other hand, the lawmaker said, he draws from his own family's experience.
Ramirez's father immigrated legally from Mexico in the 1960s, a process that required thousands of dollars, several years, a job and a marriage to an American woman. Still, Ramirez said his father didn't support Senate Bill 126 either. "My dad is like, 'You know, they come here illegally, and they think it's OK to do whatever they want.' "
The lawmaker said he wasn't sure how he was going to vote before the hearing. When the vote was called and his turn came, he paused for several seconds before voting no. "The difficult part had nothing to do with being Hispanic," he said. "I have longer struggled with the fact of what am I saying to these kids. Am I saying, 'Yes, it's OK that your parents did what they did'? Or am I saying, 'No, we don't want to give you any opportunity'?"
Since the vote, Ramirez said, he has received "tons" of angry e-mails from Latinos. One e-mail said, "How do you dare call yourself a Mexican-American?"
"Well, I don't," Ramirez said. "I call myself an American."
Carmen Medrano, a community organizer for Metro Organizations for People, which supported the bill, said illegal-immigrant students attending Monday's packed hearing were furious about Ramirez's vote in light of his being the son of a Mexican immigrant.
"They didn't understand why somebody who is sharing that part of his story is turning around and voting no," said Medrano, who added that students complained of Ramirez's "theatrics about feeling guilty."
Peña said he urged Ramirez to support the bill, saying the lawmaker seemed to think illegal-immigrant students could return to their countries of origin for education. They can't, Peña said, adding that the students have adopted the culture of the United States and are estranged from their former countries.
"I would've hoped that he would have been sensitized to the real plight of these youngsters," Peña said. "His father could've immigrated illegally here without papers. He's one of the lucky ones, I guess."
Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, said she wasn't sure how Ramirez would vote but agreed with him that the bill shouldn't be viewed as a Latino issue. "I think it's an issue of equality for all children," Duran said.
But Rep. Ed Vigil, D-Fort Garland, scoffed at the notion that it wasn't a Latino issue and questioned whether Ramirez was trying to "deny his pedigree" by not wanting to identify himself as Mexican-American.
"Maybe it's not the most attractive label to have these days — Mexican-American, Hispanic-American, Latino-American — because of the way they're treated in other states."

MUNCIE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - Ball State University has appointed a review panel to investigate allegations that an honors course, exploring the nature of the universe, is religion disguised as science.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation prompted the review with a letter it sent last month to Ball State President JoAnn Gora urging her to investigate the allegations.
The class in question is an honors class called Boundaries of Science. The Freedom from Religion Foundation maintains the class teaches creationism rather than science.
A panel of four faculty members will evaluate the course.

Any one who uses a camera knows that nothing can ruin a moment more then wanting to capture it and have your camera go dead. This battery last a very long time but I always carry and extra especially when diving. The battery is good but it does not last forever. The best part is it is recharable and you do not have to worry about purchasing multiple batteries. I hope this helps those of you looking to purchase.

I recently purchased the Sealife DC800 Pro Kit and Pro flash. I love it. It was a great buy. I have not tested it in open water yet, but did go to the local dive shop for a test run. The pics came out great. You do need to read the manual and play around with the flash a little. One thing I was kinda bumbed out about was that you cannot change from picture mood to video under the watet.To all those that would like to purchse and have read other reviews I would like to put you mind at ease. The camera functions great under water. I never had any blury pics and the seal did its job. I did find it is easier to adjust this camera for pics under the water then pics on land. Again It takes great pics you just have to play with it to learn how to set it. I hope this reveiw will help you purchase a camera and make you fell as lucky for your purchase as I do.

The Democratic sponsor of a bill to ban concealed firearms on colleges in Colorado defeated his own proposal amid strong opposition from Republicans and gun-rights advocates, while other measures will move ahead.
Boulder Sen. Rollie Heath on Friday moved to postpone the bill until after the Legislature adjourned for the year, a procedure that kills the bill.
The bill would have banned concealed weapons on public college campuses.
Several victims of college rape had testified against the measure in a Senate committee days earlier. They said that students are vulnerable in areas where law-abiding citizens can't carry concealed weapons.
Five of seven gun-control measures advanced. One more round of votes is required next week before the measures clear the Senate.
Measures that will move on to a final reading Monday morning include a prohibition on magazines larger than 15 rounds and requirements for background checks on all purchases of firearms, including private sales of firearms.
The other measure that was killed would have held owners and sellers of assault weapons liable for damages caused by the weapon.
The Legislature will meet Monday morning for a final reading on the five remaining measures.

Greetings for the coming week, and did Thursdays public holiday in the last one, give you cause for thought, celebration, irritation, or pleasure if you had a day off work.
Muungano, or Union Day is to remind us when the exotic little Spice Isles, joined forces with the mighty mainland of Tanzania..."and they all lived happily ever after" as children's story books say, except of course they didn't…not completely, but they're getting there.
Mwalimu Nyerere, was intractable on two of the 'projects' he helped to broker. One was the decision to make Dodoma the nation's capital, and the other the union with Zanzibar. And both have an ambiguous status.
Dodoma - the capital city, but not quite. Basically, it becomes the capital, and the seat of government, only when policy makers bottoms reside on those parliamentary seats during the Bunge sessions! After that, it reverts to being a minor township, or it did, till the university brought added kudos and change.
Zanzibar - an independent group of islands with its own government, but with numerous anomalies that make it neither one nor the other, automonous, yet dependent at the same time. And how confusing for tourists, having passed through mainland immigration control, to do so again here, confounding the 'one nation' myth.
To test this, a foreign resident from Dar es Salaam went there without a passport, and was refused entry. In 2006, I was allowed in after loosing mine, but on leaving, an angry immigration man, said "you're not on the mainland now, but a separate country with its own president, I could arrest you". There lies the dichotomy. One country or not…and can reconciliation of the nearly five decade union be sustainably maintained?
Another inequitable aspect of the Isles, are the inflated boat prices for foreigners, as all visitors have to pay in dollars, not equivalent to the local rate, but double or even triple it. I hope the East African Community harmonisation process, might end this unfair practice. Imagine the outcry if Unguja citizens visiting European countries experienced similar blatant discrimination.
Ministers I've lobbied over the years to help change this, seemed uncertain where their limits of authority lay, but the response was usually the same, "it's decided by the boat owners, and Zanzibar government". As though the exploited tourists, weren't mainland visitors also. Such capitulation on an issue that ought to come under the union government, but appears not to, is pandering to the sensitivity the union still represents.
Over the years, many Tanesco managers learnt this to their cost….and the nations. A media report in January this year, put the unpaid power bill for the Isles at a staggering 6.4bn/- and apparently classified as an 'uncollectable debt'!
On first going to Zanzibar decades ago, I thought it was the definitive tropical paradise, with the cultural integrity of its courteous friendly people, untouched by the negative aspects of westernisation and tourism. Not any longer.
In its infancy, the tourist sector was described as potentially dynamic, but potentially catastrophic might be just as accurate today. In little over a decade and a half, the social and environmental ravages have yet to be fully quantified, though they're increasingly apparent, as the character of this unique place is altered. A tourist officer once told me "we must market our island in a way that brings in the most money", and they're certainly doing that...but not in their own currency!
Their thinking is in dollar digits, with the negative indicators of it ignored, as long as the money rolls in…… but how much rolls out without benefit to the wider economy?
A few years ago two foreign doctors at the Mnazi Mmoja hospital, told me they asked the same question, when buying their own thermometers. And they also noticed, that in areas outside of the ever increasing holiday enclaves, the long term neglect, and absence of urban or social regeneration was shamefully obvious.
Visitors are often shocked at the squalor and decay in the Stone Town, which requires big funding and commitment. But why can't basic street cleaning be done efficiently? What has always been needed here, is a vibrant new mind set, and not just a fat municipal wallet.
We know about the scramble for Africa, but the scramble for Unguja is just as hectic. Much of it has been treated like a private fiefdom, as local power brokers have colluded with the new colonisers in hiving off beaches, islands and public buildings. I wonder where the famous turtles are, and if they can still be freely viewed, without a dollar transaction?!
Recent media reports that the Aga Khan Development Network, has suspended its projects in Zanzibar, is a blow for all who valued the wonderful work they've always done, with their high standards setting the reference point for excellence.
And whilst not there in a 'watchdog' capacity, their presence was nevertheless reassuring.
The building abuses in the Stone Town are striking, as if the authorities have given up, and adopted the 'chai' and turn a blind eye approach. And with much of it constantly watched by prospectors close to those guarding 'the goose that lays the golden egg', Unesco, having granted World Heritage status, now also appears to be having a little shut eye!
Prime defaulters in the guardianship of their heritage, it's unlikely the Isles government will ever want to define limits, or slow down the tourist sector, a cash cow that can be milked for the mighty dollar!
Requesting prices in shillings at shops and hotels, can be met with bewilderment, or outright refusal. The dollarisation of Stone Town's economy and other tourist areas, has reached such levels, that tourists could depart, almost unaware of the local currency.
Since they get special concessions, perhaps the Isles have an opt out clause from fiscal mainland laws!... Well, no they don't, because citing the Foreign Exchange act of l992, which prohibits the use of foreign currency as a medium of exchange for local transactions, the P.S. in the Ministry of Finance, Ramadhan Kijah, in July, 2010, asked the public to expose people flouting this act.(as his government does!)
Anyway I'm off to Zanzibar today without any dollars, so I expect to be doing a lot of fighting on behalf of the shillingi,...if I'm not on the page next Monday, you'll know I'm in an Unguja lock-up…wish me well!

Britain's Got Talent judges wowed by singing kids Malakai Paul and Molly Rainford
10:16 28 April 2012
Two young singing hopefuls from London are seen wowing the Britain's Got Talent judges tonight.
Malakai Paul bursts into tears during his audition prompting Alesha Dixon to rush on stage to comfort him.
The nine-year-old, from north London is allowed to try again and wins the judges' hearts with his swooping voice while trying out for the ITV1 show.
The youngster himself warned before: "Sometimes I get a bit nervous and get stage fright."
Simon Cowell tells him: "What I like about you - you're brave. You got off to a bad start, picked yourself up and people are going to like you a lot."
And Dixon declares: "You are a star. It's a natural raw talent. That's what we're looking for."
The judges are also dazzled by another school-age soul sensation, Molly Rainford, 11.
Molly, from Barking, wows the stars, with Dixon telling her: "You sing with such maturity and control - you've just blown me away."
And Cowell agrees, telling her: "You've got soul - I really do believe that."

NATIONWIDE (WIFR) -- Not enough jobs were created last month to bring down the nation's unemployment rate. Just 155,000 jobs were added, keeping the unemployment rate at 7.8%.
The biggest gains came in healthcare, food services, and manufacturing.
There are some concerns those numbers are only a result of seasonal hiring. More than 12 million Americans are still looking for work.

To a charcutier, sausage making is a beautiful thing.
Rusty Bowers is the owner of Pine Street Market in Avondale Estates, Georgia. He and his staff create a range of charcuterie (cured meats) from every part of a pig, from an award-winning coppa and an 18-month-old prosciutto, to a wide variety of salami, bacon and hot dogs.
They buy whole pigs from a local farm, so creation of any given sausage format is closely tied to the production of all the rest. Bowers explained the process of curing salami and coppa, a symphony of salt, seasonings, meat and mold.
After the meat arrives, his team does the initial breakdown, separating certain large formats like the coppa (which comes from the shoulder) and removing all the little bits of meat and fat. The separated meat and fat are recombined later in specific ratios based on the kind of sausage or salami is being made.
It's also important for Pine Street Market's style of salami that the fat be refrigerated nearly to the point of freezing so that when it's put through the grinder, it maintains integrity. This produces a salami that still has discrete fat and meat when sliced, or as Bowers says, "like a kaleidoscope" when held to the light.
The team adds salt and seasonings to the meat, then reintroduces fat as it is ground. Liquids such as wine and the starter culture are added afterward.
The culture is a lactobacillus similar to the one found in yogurt, and Dextrose is introduced as a feeding agent. After the team stuffs the salami meat, they put their handiwork into in a "greening room" or fermenting room which Bowers describes as "similar to a rainforest." This humid environment kickstarts the fermentation process.
After a couple days the team checks the pH of the salami. If the number has has dropped enough, the meat is moved to the "cave" or aging room, which is maintained at 55 degrees and 65 percent humidity. The salami then age for about six weeks before they are ready for sale.
The cave aging and culture produce a white mold on the outside of the salami. Another benefit: flavor. Bowers explains that the culture is responsible for the "harmony" of flavors in the salami. Without the culture it would be a "single note...almost like a jerky." (Not that there is anything wrong with jerky.)
After it's separated from the shoulder, the coppa is given a dry rub, then is refrigerated in a tub with the other coppa for 25 days. The rub becomes liquid as it draws moisture from inside the meat, so the liquid is rotated every two days. Then the coppa receives a white wine bath before its six month stay in the cave.
Cuts become other products with the application of various combinations of smoke, salt, and age. Belly becomes bacon, jowl becomes guanciale, ham becomes...ham. But for high end offerings like the 18 month prosciutto, a careful prediction of future demand must be made. For a large ham to take up space for that long in the cave, a maker must keep track of how many are coming out at a time, and how many they'll be likely to sell.
Bower's favorite product is the speck, which is a ham that is both aged and smoked. He sees it as a synthesis of European refinement and Southern United States flavor.
"It's the closest thing we are going to have to a country ham while still celebrating the prosciutto."

|Team Three
Team Three
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #102
|Appears in
|Team Info
Team Three was formed when the Three-Tails appeared. Their mission was to seal the Three-Tails using the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier technique. To do so, all the members of the team needed to have precise chakra control.
Main article: Shizune Due to her really strong skill in medical ninjutsu, Shizune can perform tricky techniques using precise chakra control. She was the leader of the team.
Sakura Haruno
Main article: Sakura Haruno Sakura's chakra control is probably the most advanced in the team, as she can perform complex medical ninjutsu which comes to great service in the sealing of the Three-Tails.
Hinata Hyūga
Main article: Hinata Hyūga Though not trained in the precise chakra control required in medical techniques, her inheritance from being part of the Hyūga clan is quite fortunate and her chakra control is up to par with that of a medical ninja.
Ino Yamanaka
Main article: Ino Yamanaka Ino is another member of the team that can perform advanced medical ninjutsu, which requires a lot of controlled chakra, though her control was not at the level of that of Sakura and Shizune as yet.
Main article: Katsuyu A replica of Katsuyu, is sent to aid Team Three, along with the two other teams. She attaches herself to every member of the three teams and supplies them with extra chakra so they can finish sealing the Three-Tails and fend off Guren and Orochimaru's subordinates.

The Pipe Bomb is a weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto V.
Pipe bombs are homemade explosives that are a little stronger than Grenades, but they release smoke after they are thrown, giving away their position. They become very useful when thrown under parked vehicles. They are also incredibly efficient when thrown into crowds of people as the smoke from the Pipe Bomb will blind them at close range.
The pipe bomb is seen in the gameplay video for GTA V at about 3:14.

Groundhogs in North Carolina's two biggest cities disagree on the forecast for the next six weeks.
Sir Walter Wally in Raleigh saw his shadow around noon Saturday, predicting six more weeks of winter. But in Charlotte, Queen Charlotte didn't see her shadow when she came out around 11:30 a.m., predicting an early spring.
Sir Walter Wally missed his prediction last year, while Queen Charlotte was on the money as temperatures in February and March of 2012 were well above normal in North Carolina.
Sir Walter Wally makes his predictions at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, while Queen Charlotte made her appearance at the Charlotte Nature Museum.

Comments On Apr 21, 2015:These grip as well as expected. They need about a mile or so to warm up. Mind you, I leave about 7 a.m. in 50 degree weather so take that into account. My ZX9R has 130 hp and when the tire is cold, they will slip around a bit. I didn't take these in the rain, but when I hit a puddle, they would initial let go. When they get rid of most of the water (ten or twenty feet) they grip again. So take it easy in the wet. Sold the bike, so not sure about longevity.

Comments On Jan 17, 2014:The M5 is my go-to tire for my Speed Triple. The grip and overall handling is excellent for sport riding. You won't be disappointed!

Comments On Jul 12, 2013:I have had these one for almost 5000 miles and still have half tread left. The center hardly wears down after many road trips on these and the sides inspire confidence in the mountain twisties. I have always been a M3 fan and am in love with these. I will continue to use these time after time.

Comments On Sep 01, 2011: I have been running the M3's for years and have really liked them (see that review). I was expecting the M5 to be better, better feel, better grip, better mileage (given the hype and its sales presentation). Well I have to say for the extra money per set, they didn't grip any better, they didn't last any longer, they didn't seem to do anything differently than the M3 did. It is an excellent tire, but mileage was still the same as an M3, So I will stick with the M3.

Comments On May 29, 2011:This is an awesome tyre in both wet and dry. Have these tryes on my BMW S1000rr and the just hold in so well. Mind you turn the traction control off and unleash there full potential. The hold in so well at what ever lean angle. You wont be sorry buying a set of these tyres.

46 U.S. Code § 53704 - Funding limits
prev | next
(a) General Limitations.— The total unpaid principal amount of obligations guaranteed under this chapter and outstanding at one time may not exceed $12,000,000,000. Of that amount—
(1) $850,000,000 shall be limited to obligations related to fishing vessels and fishery facilities; and
(b) Additional Limitations.— Additional limitations may not be imposed on new commitments to guarantee loans for any fiscal year, except in amounts established in advance by annual authorization laws. A vessel eligible for a guarantee under this chapter may not be denied eligibility because of its type.
(c) Limits Based on Risk Factors.—
(1) Definition.— In this subsection, the term "cost" has the meaning given that term in section 502 of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661a).
(2) System of risk categories.— The Secretary or Administrator shall—
(A) establish, and update annually, a system of risk categories for obligations guaranteed under this chapter that categorizes the relative risk of guarantees based on the risk factors set forth in paragraph (4);
(B) determine annually for each risk category a subsidy rate equivalent to the cost of obligations in the category, expressed as a percentage of the amount guaranteed for obligations in the category; and
(C) ensure that each risk category is comprised of loans that are relatively homogeneous in cost and share characteristics predictive of defaults and other costs, given the facts known at the time of obligation or commitment, using a risk category system that is based on historical analysis of program data and statistical evidence concerning the likely costs of defaults or other costs that are expected to be associated with the loans in the category.
(3) Use of system.—
(A) Placing obligation in category.— Before making a guarantee under this chapter for an obligation, and annually for projects subject to a guarantee, the Secretary or Administrator shall apply the risk factors specified in paragraph (4) to place the obligation in a risk category established under paragraph (2).
(B) Reduction of available amount.— The Secretary or Administrator shall consider the total amount available to the Secretary or Administrator for making guarantees under this chapter to be reduced by the amount determined by multiplying—
(C) Estimated cost.— The estimated cost to the United States Government of a guarantee under this chapter for an obligation is deemed to be the amount determined under subparagraph (B) for the obligation.
(D) Restriction on further guarantees.— The Secretary or Administrator may not guarantee obligations under this chapter after the total amount available to the Secretary or Administrator under appropriations laws for the cost of loan guarantees is considered to be reduced to zero under subparagraph (B).
(4) Risk factors.— The risk factors referred to in this subsection are—
(A) if applicable, the country risk for each eligible export vessel financed or to be financed by an obligation;
(C) the amount of an obligation guaranteed or to be guaranteed in relation to the total cost of the project financed or to be financed by the obligation;
(F) if applicable, the projected employment of each vessel or equipment to be financed with an obligation;
(G) if applicable, the projected market that will be served by each vessel or equipment to be financed with an obligation;
(J) whether a guarantee under this chapter is or will be in effect during the construction period of the project; and

The dramatic declines in teenage pregnancy rates noted in the United States between 1995 and 2002 were largely due to improved contraceptive use, not to abstinence, a new study shows.
The article goes into far more detail but I just want to point out that this is evidence that teens can and do make responsible choices when choosing to be sexually active. Indeed, contraceptive use accounted for 86% of the drop whereas abstinence can only claim 14%.
In a perfect world, this study would be all that's necessary to make over the counter emergency contraception available to those under the age of 18. It would also encourage the government to make contraceptives more easily available and even promote their use with factual information instead of the scare tactics/disinformation that is currently being passed as sex ed. I'm not holding my breath for any of that but I do have faith that the STI rate (currently about 1 in 4) can be lowered the same way -- that is by more consistent safer sex.

The use of SQLCODE to retrieve the internal Mimer SQL return code for an exception has been replaced by the use of SQLSTATE and GET DIAGNOSTICS with the NATIVE_ERROR option, see Run-time Errors, in Mimer SQL.
For compatibility reasons, return codes can still be retrieved in SQLCODE, as in earlier versions of Mimer SQL. Mimer SQL will assume the existence of an SQLCODE variable in the application if no INCLUDE SQLCA statement is found and neither SQLSTATE nor SQLCODE is declared between BEGIN DECLARE SECTION and END DECLARE SECTION.
The values of SQLCODE are the same as the values for the internal Mimer SQL return codes described in Return Codes.

This article is a stub. You can help the W3C wiki by expanding it.
The AB refers to the W3C Advisory Board.
W3C Process
W3C process improvements are discussed in the community group:
See process for more details.
Use of Github at W3C
- See Github.
Taxi sharing for meetings is organized on the wiki: MeetingTaxis
Twitter Account
Freshly created 2013-06-04, there's an unofficial @W3CAB Twitter account.
It would be great to grant permission to every AB member to post anything regarding AB-related matters.
The methodology is to empower individual responsibility and trust by default, especially in such a small group. This method has worked well with the CSSWG (any CSSWG member may "have the keys" to @CSSWG) and it's been hugely successful in engaging the broader developer community.
If you are a member of the AB, contact Tantek Çelik on a secure communications channel and he'll gladly share access to @W3CAB.
Suggestions for the AB.
Minor Process Tweaks
The Process document hasn't really been maintained in many years. There's talk of overhauling the Process, but meanwhile, how about making some simple changes that address particularly frustrating points in the Process?
- Allowing REC to refer to CR (treating PR as a transitional phase, like LC). fantasai 04:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. I'll see what I can do to help this along. - Tantek Çelik 14:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Inter-W3C-spec normative referencing policy is apparently not an explicit part of the Process Document. See CG W3Process issue 33 for more info/updates on this. - Tantek Çelik 14:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
- Creating a "Proposed Edited Candidate Recommendation" stage (or pick a better name) to allow CRs to be updated without going back to Working Draft. This would be identical to LC--just a renaming of an existing process--so qualifies as a Dead Simple Change. fantasai 04:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- What about simply combining LC and CR, and allowing a document in that phase to be updated and stay at that phase? - Tantek Çelik 14:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Background about this page.
I (Tantek Çelik) ran for the AB on a platform of greater openness in how we do things. As part of that, feel free to add your suggestions for improving the AB and W3C Process as a whole here and I'll see what I can about them. I'm going to encourage other AB members to similarly consider using input from the wiki as another source. Thanks, - Tantek Çelik 04:44, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

WASHINGTON — Workers probably won't feel the full brunt of next year's tax increases in their January paychecks, but don't be fooled by the temporary reprieve.
No matter what Congress does to address the year-end "fiscal cliff," it's already too late for employers to accurately withhold income taxes from January paychecks, unless all the current tax rates remain unchanged, which is an unlikely scenario.
Social Security payroll taxes are set to increase Jan. 1, so workers should immediately feel the squeeze of a 2 percent cut in their take-home pay. But as talks drag on over how to address other year-end tax increases, the Internal Revenue Service has delayed releasing income tax withholding tables for 2013.
As a result, employers plan to withhold income taxes at the 2012 rates, at least for the first one or two paychecks of the year, said Michael O'Toole of the American Payroll Association.
If employers don't withhold enough taxes in January, they will have to withhold even more taxes later in the year to make up the difference. Otherwise, taxpayers could get hit with big tax bills, and possibly penalties, when they file their 2013 returns.
The tax increases could be steep. If Congress fails to act, workers at every income level face significant tax increases next year as part of the year-end fiscal cliff.
A taxpayer making between $50,000 and $75,000 would get an average tax increase of $2,400, according to the Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group. If the worker is paid every two weeks, that's about $92 a paycheck, on average.
O'Toole said it would take most employers two weeks to four weeks to update their payroll systems, once new tax withholding tables are released. For some small businesses, it could take longer.
"Employers can't really just come up with withholding tables on their own, depending on what the rates are," O'Toole said. "The smaller companies that do not use a payroll processing service probably would have more problems than anyone else."

Throw the big one back, then go get your trophy
When he initially set the hook and cried "fish on," I thought Auburn's Dale Milam was snagged. We were drifting quickly downstream and the rod was so doubled over that it seemed impossible that he was hooked into a fish.
Then I noticed his line streaking toward the center of the river!
The rod started bucking then, too, and line whizzed off his reel at an alarming rate. So quickly, in fact, that I had to fire up the boat and chase the leviathan — which was streaking upstream at such speed that it would have emptied his reel in a few short seconds.
After an epic battle on the light gear, I hefted the beast over the side. Milam's giant striper pulled the BogaGrip's scale down to 40 pounds! After a quick photo session, the huge hen was back in the water and off to complete her spawning mission.
Let 'em go!
Some folks would have considered us crazy for letting that fish go… but it's actually crazy not to. In this day and age of declining fisheries, big females like Milam's striper (and their genetic material) are much too valuable to be killed. Instead, consider turning them loose and, if you really want a mount, go with a fiberglass replica.
Get it mounted
The replica trend is the big thing in fish taxidermy these days. You can have a model of your big catch made up and, if you get the length and girth measurements and some good close-up photos, a skilled taxidermist can make an exact copy of your fish.
The replica thing is pretty cool — not only do you not have to kill the fish to get a mount of it, but they also look better than skin mounts and last forever. Skin mounts start to look like bad science projects over time as they dry out and the rats get to them — and they can also start to smell as oil leaches out of the skin. All you really need to do to keep a glass mount looking good is dust it occasionally.
To allow the taxidermist to make as good a copy of your fish as possible, take care to get a few broadside shots of it with a digital camera. Lay the fish on its side in shallow water and be sure to zoom in as close as you can while still keeping the entire subject in the frame.
It's helpful to put something like a fishing rod or ruler next to the fish for scale. You may also want to take close-up pictures of any distinguishing features the fish may have and it's always good idea to get a zoomed-in shot or two of its head.
Next, measure the fish's length and girth. If you don't have a tape measure, stretch a piece of fishing line from its nose to tail and then use another one to get the girth. When you get home, you can measure those lengths of line to get accurate dimensions of your catch.
The weight of your fish isn't as important in the mounting process but it can be helpful. The best way to safely get a weight on a fish that's to be released is to use a soft mesh musky-style cradle and a BogaGrip or digital scale. However, if weighing the fish is going to cause it too much harm, don't worry about it.
Choosing a taxidermist
There are zillions of outfits out there making fish replicas and you have to do a little homework before you commit to buying one. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay $12 to $18 an inch for a mount. Be wary of people who will mount a fish for a lot less than the going rate — there's usually a good reason that they're less expensive.
There are sometimes hidden costs that you need to know about as well. Be sure to ask what the shipping and handling rates are before you sign a contract… some companies will stick you with serious shipping fees that can almost double the price of your fish.
Also, ask about turn-around time. Most good taxidermists are booked out for months or even years, so be prepared to wait awhile before you get your trophy. It doesn't hurt, either, to find out if the taxidermist guarantees his or her work and if they carry insurance. You can also check to see if the person you're considering is licensed — in some states, taxidermists must be licensed through the state.
I know there are a lot of good taxidermists out there and I can't list them all. However, I can vouch for a few. I've seen the fine work done by Luke Filmer of Blackwater Fish Replicas (www.blackwaterfishreplicas.com). Also, the folks at Advanced Taxidermy & Wildlife Design out of Southern California (www.advancedtaxidermy.com) do really nice work.

Microsoft: 8.1 update issue limited to Surface RT
Microsoft says small percentage of Surface RT devices 'brick' when downloading Windows RT 8.1
REDMOND, Wash. (AP)—Microsoft Corp. said Monday that a problem caused when updating computers to Windows RT 8.1 is limited to its own Surface RT devices. It's another knock on the machine that Microsoft has struggled to sell, even as it launches the latest version, Surface 2, starting Tuesday.
The issue was discovered over the weekend, three months after it slashed prices for Surface RT by $150 to $349, without a cover. Microsoft has booked a $900 million write-down for unsold product.
Some users who tried to download an update to the year-old Windows RT 8 operating system would find their machines would shut off during the download and become inoperable, a phenomenon known as "bricking."
Microsoft said the problem affected less than 1 out of every 1,000 Surface RT machines. It hasn't yet found out what the problem is exactly.
For now, the Windows RT 8.
Surface RT units will continue to be sold alongside the new Surface 2, which sells for $449 without a cover. The issue doesn't affect units that have Windows RT 8.1 pre-installed, such as Surface 2.

A Pitt County couple is facing 700 charges after a multi-agency investigation that deputies say solved 20 break-ins.
Jose Santos and Mari Crumpler, both who live on Stantonsburg Road, were originally under investigation by Pitt County ABC agents.
They discovered a possible connection to business break-ins, so Pitt County deputies were brought into the case.
The two are accused of breaking into businesses on Dickinson Avenue, U.S. 13 and Frog Level Road, stealing gas tanks, propane cylinders, generators, and tools. Those B&Es happened between October 15th and November 15th, during both the day and night.
Pitt County ABC was investigating the couple for financial transaction fraud, obtaining information under false pretenses and identity fraud.
Santos is in the Wilson County Detention Center on $75,000 bond, while Crumpler is in the Pitt County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.

Comments On Sep 01, 2015:I've had this belt for about 5 years now, and I've never had any issues with it. I've got about 150 hours of riding time with it, and it still holds good elasticity. The Velcro still works well, and the main rubber in the back is still all holding together. I wash this belt fairly frequently in a machine wash with the rest of my gear, and then let it air dry. I've seen other belts come apart from wash, but I have yet to have any issues or complaint with this belt. Thanks Rocky Mountain!

The (Somerset) Daily American (http://bit.ly/18c0rNW ) reports the Meyersdale borough council voted Tuesday night to close the Paul E. Fuller playground.
The manure spilled on a hill above the playground Aug. 23, and water flows onto the playground when it rains, apparently carrying bacteria from the manure. Borough workers treated the area with lime, but say bacteria counts including salmonella haven't decreased.
Councilman Roger Miller says his own unscientific methods have confirmed those findings saying, "My nose tells me there's a problem out there."
Miller asked a borough worker about the results of recent bacteria tests and says he was told, "You don't want to know."

A small amount of research has been conducted in the potential connections between caffeine use and obstructive sleep apnea.
One study showed that caffeinated soda use may be associated with more severe sleep-disordered breathing, such as obstructive sleep apnea. However, tea or coffee use didn't appear to be associated with more severe sleep-disordered breathing.
In another study, caffeine seemed to improve thinking (cognitive) function in people with obstructive sleep apnea.
In addition, doctors sometimes prescribe caffeine for premature infants to reduce episodes of interrupted breathing during sleep.
More research is needed to study how caffeine use affects people with obstructive sleep apnea.
These lifestyle changes may help manage some cases of obstructive sleep apnea:
Often, however, you may need certain devices to keep the airway open. In some cases, your doctor may recommend a surgical procedure.

Starting Jeff Baker At 2B
I couldn't care less about the Cubs being rained out Sunday.
With all the pending bumps and bruises this club could use an extra off day, even with the Pirates in town.
Instead, I was more interested in watching the fighter jets fly over the city as part of the Chicago Air & Water show.
The rain, however, cancelled out the jets too.
Meanwhile, I can't find a reason why Jeff Baker shouldn't become the Cubs' everyday second baseman.
Since joining the team July 2, Baker's quietly made 15 starts batting .333 with five doubles, two home runs and a triple.
In his last 24 plate appearances he's reached base safely 15 times, and is also 14-for-28 (.500) on the current home stand.
Mike Fontenot, on the other hand, is batting below .200 in his last 20 games–9-for-57–and only slightly better for the season (.228).
With the Cubs struggling offensively it only makes sense to play Baker full-time.
You can make a similar case for starting Jake Fox in the outfield, as well.
The most obvious replacement being Soriano, who's mired in another long slump (3-for-29), including 2-for-20 on the home stand.
Fox has four RBI in his last six games and is nearing the .300 mark for the season (.298).
It's even plausible to think Fox could provide better defense in left field, too.
Look, this isn't the stretch-run lineup we all envisioned in early April, but the Cubs' window to catch the Cards is rapidly closing.
Now's the time to start playing the guys performing, regardless of the names on the back of the jerseys.

Jeff Fisher gets the first win of the Jeff Fisher era in St. Louis after watching his team come back from a 14-3 defecit after the first quarter. Sam Bradford threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns and captained the St. Louis comeback.
At Least Robert Griffin III Is Exciting: Griffin III also ran for two touchdowns—a five yard run in the first quarter and a 7 yarder in the third—but this bomb to Leonard Hankerson will keep Skins fans happy despite blowing a then 21-6 lead, right? Right??
