6.12: Theoretical and Experimental Probability
Suppose the numbers 0 through 9 were each written on a piece of paper and placed in a bag. If one piece of paper is chosen at random, what is the theoretical probability that it is an even number? If this experiment is repeated 10 times, and an even number is chosen 6 times, what is the experimental probability of choosing an even number?
Previously we worked on solving problems dealing with definite situations. In this concept, we will begin to look at a branch of mathematics that deals with possible situations. The study of probability involves applying formulas to determine the percentage chance of an event occurring.
Almost all companies use some form of probability. Automotive companies want to determine the likelihood of their new vehicle being a big seller. Cereal manufacturers want to know the probability that their cereal will sell more than the competition. Pharmaceutical corporations need to know the likelihood of a new drug harming those who take it. Even politicians want to know the probability of receiving enough votes to win the election.
Probabilities can start with an experiment. As you learned in a previous concept, an experiment is a controlled study. For example, suppose you want to know if the probability of getting tails when flipping a coin is actually . By randomly grabbing a penny and making a tally chart of heads and tails, you are performing an experiment.
The set of all possible outcomes is called the sample space of the experiment.
The sample space for tossing a coin is .
Let's list the sample space for rolling a die:
A die is a six-sided figure with dots representing the numbers one through six. So the sample space is all the possible outcomes (i.e., what numbers could possibly be rolled).
Theoretical Probability
Once you have determined the number of items in the sample space, you can compute the probability of a particular event. Any one possible outcome of the experiment is called an event.
Theoretical probability is a ratio expressing the ways to be successful to the total events in an experiment. A shorter way to write this is:
Probabilities are expressed three ways:
- As a fraction
- As a percent
- As a decimal
Suppose you wanted to know the probability of getting a head or a tail when flipping a coin.
There would be two ways of obtaining a success and two possible outcomes.
This is a very important concept of probability.
The sum of the individual event probabilities is 100%, or 1.
Let's determine the theoretical probability of rolling a five on a die:
There are six events in the sample space. There is one way to roll a five.
Conducting an Experiment
Conducting an experiment for probability purposes is also called probability simulation. Suppose you wanted to conduct an experiment to determine the probability of getting tails when tossing a coin 10 times. By grabbing a random coin, flipping it, and recording what comes up is a probability simulation. You can also simulate an experiment using a graphing calculator application.
Performing an Experiment Using the TI-84 Graphing Calculator
There is an application on the TI calculators called the coin toss. Among others (including the dice roll, spinners, and picking random numbers), the coin toss is an excellent application for when you what to find the probabilities for a coin tossed more than four times or more than one coin being tossed multiple times.
Let's say you want to see one coin being tossed one time. Here is what the calculator will show and the key strokes to get to this toss.
Let's say you want to see one coin being tossed ten times. Here is what the calculator will show and the key strokes to get to this sequence. Try it on your own.
We can actually see how many heads and tails occurred in the tossing of the 10 coins. If you click on the right arrow the frequency label will show you how many of the tosses came up heads.
Using this information, you can determine the experimental probability of tossing a coin and seeing a tail on its landing.
The experimental probability is the ratio of the proposed outcome to the number of experiment trials.
Let's compare the theoretical probability of flipping a tail on a coin to the experimental probability of flipping a tail using the graphing calculator information:
There are two events in the sample space. There is one way to flip a tail.
The coin toss simulation the calculator performed stated there were six tails out of ten tosses.
The experimental probability (60%) in this case is greater than the theoretical probability (50%).
Finding Odds For and Against
Odds are similar to probability with the exception of the ratio's denominator.
The odds in favor of an event is the ratio of the number of successful events to the number of non-successful events.
Let's find the odds of rolling a 5 on a die:
What if we were interested in determining the odds against rolling a 5 on a die. There are five outcomes other than a "5" and one outcome of a "5."
Example 1
Earlier, you were told that the numbers 0 through 9 were written on a piece of paper placed in a bag and one piece of paper is drawn at random. What is the theoretical probability that it is an even number? If this experiment is repeated 10 times and an even number is chosen 6 times, what is the experimental probability of choosing an even number?
The theoretical probability of an event is the number of ways to get a success divided by the number of possible outcomes. In this case, there are 4 even numbers in 0 through 9 which is the result that we want. There are 10 pieces of paper in the bag since there are 10 numbers in 0 through 9.
The experimental probability is the number of times the event occurred divided by the total number of trials. If there are 10 trials, and an even number is chosen 6 times, then we have:
The theoretical probability is 40% and the experimental probability is 60%.
Example 2
Find the odds against rolling a number larger than 2 on a standard die.
There are four outcomes on a standard die larger than .
Notice the "odds against" ratio is the reciprocal of the "odds in favor" ratio.

FISH EYES — SIXTH OF TEN BROTHERS Chinatsu Ban's 2005 sculpture is irresistibly cute.
The contemporaneous prints that captured this "ukiyo," or "floating world," are well known, but the MFA's "Drama and Desire: Japanese Paintings from the Floating World 1690–1850," in the Torf Gallery, provides a rare sampling of 83 "ukiyo-e" ("pictures of the floating world") paintings. All are drawn from the MFA's collection of more than 700, which it proclaims the "finest" and "largest collection of its type in the world." They were acquired in Japan in the 1870s and 1880s, when Boston and the MFA were visionary in their art collecting. Ah, the good old days.
The highlights include four large, rare, terrific kabuki-theater advertising signboards from the late 1700s that have been attributed to Torii Kiyomitsu or his school. Originally hung at an angle in the eaves of theaters to attract customers, they're boldly painted and often combine several events from the plays into one scene. One from 1758, said to be the "oldest known extant" kabuki poster, advertises a tale of an unfairly maligned poet, with two trios of actors giving one another the hairy eye along a riverbank. Other posters feature a tea seller haunted by a ghost and a tale of 16th-century warlord seeking revenge on a rival who had assassinated their common overlord.
But mostly the exhibit is girls, girls, girls. Hishikawa Moronobu's late-17th-century screens Scenes from the Nakamura Kabuki Theater and the Yoshiwara Pleasure Quarter provide a tour of Edo's "pleasure quarters": theatrical performances, bordellos, men gawking as prostitutes and their entourages promenade down streets. Throughout the exhibit, ravishingly elegant woman strum samisens, pick flowers, stroll along riverbanks, and just beautifully sit. A woman in a flaming red wig dances with peony branches in her hands in Katsukawa Shunsho's hanging scroll Shakkyo, theLion Dance (1787-'88). In Utagawa Toyokuni's large hanging scroll Geisha and Waitress (1804-'18), a woman smiles as she sits reading a love letter and curls her toes (what a lovely detail).
These paintings are often considerably larger than ukiyo-e prints, but the execution remains exquisitely refined. The colors are richer too, but the pictures are still driven by swooping calligraphic linework set against flat areas of pattern and color.

I haven't found them in the wild, but others in my area have apparently found them around my quasi-frequent visits to TRU, which really annoys me. Obviously, they aren't getting too many of them at one time or people are just buying them up in large numbers.
I just got my two units in the mail yesterday (at the time of this posting, you can order it here). I was able to order them at the start of the week using a gift card I got for my birthday. I have to say that, while they are nice, I found myself to be a bit underwhelmed by it. I don't really know what I was hoping for, but it's merely OK. The stand is what makes it for me. How simple is that? I think the new bike itself is fine and the scale is definitely better, but the Biker Scout figure doesn't really sit that well on the seat. I've finagled with it and got it as close as possible, but it's impossible to lean the figure forward and have his butt down. The cannon accessory is lame and falls apart pretty easily. I doubt that I will be doing anything with it, so it's going to go in the "the box". The Scout's gun doesn't really fit into the boot holster very well and you really need to jam it in there (in order for it to not fall out when you turn the bike upside down?).
I'd give the whole thing a B or an "almost" B-.

Technology may benefit most people, but it can put others at a disadvantage. Learn how to ensure students with disabilities benefit from technology as much as others.
The most recent government figures show that 11% of all undergraduate students in the U.S., amounting to more than 2 million students, have a disability. The majority have learning disabilities, such as dyslexia or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and about a quarter of students have physical, hearing or vision impairments. A significant portion of this population also includes veterans who have returned to school in higher numbers thanks to the GI Bill, Wounded Warrior project and other initiatives aimed at assisting veterans.
Having the responsibility of controlling the pace and manner in which you research, write and submit your assignments is a large part of taking classes online. Because of this, self-directed learning has become synonymous with the adult learner's approach to taking classes. But does the same concept apply to your orientation to a university?

This book first teaches learners how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. The book¿s two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications. For physicists and engineers.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Unlike Newton's mechanics, or Maxwell's electrodynamics, or Einstein's relativity, quantum theory was not created—or even definitively packaged—by one individual, and it retains to this day some of the scars of its exhilarating but traumatic youth. There is no general consensus as to what its fundamental principles are, how it should be taught, or what it really "means." Every competent physicist can "do" quantum mechanics, but the stories we tell ourselves about what we are doing are as various as the tales of Scheherazade, and almost as implausible. Niels Bohr said, "If you are not confused by quantum physics then you haven't really understood it"; Richard Feynman remarked, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."
The purpose of this book is to teach you how to do quantum mechanics. Apart from some essential background in Chapter 1, the deeper quasiphilosophical questions are saved for the end. I do not believe one can intelligently discuss what quantum mechanics means until one has a firm sense of what quantum mechanics does. But if you absolutely cannot wait, by all means read the Afterword immediately following Chapter 1.
Not only is quantum theory conceptually rich, it is also technically difficult, and exact solutions to all but the most artificial textbook examples are few and far between. It is therefore essential to develop special techniques for attacking more realistic problems. Accordingly, this book is divided into two parts; Part I covers the basic theory, and Part II assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes, with illustrative applications. Although it is important to keep the two parts logically separate, it is not necessary to study the material in the order presented here. Some instructors, for example, may wish to treat time-independent perturbation theory immediately after Chapter 2.
This book is intended for a one-semester or one-year course at the junior or senior level. A one-semester course will have to concentrate mainly on Part I; a full-year course should have room for supplementary material beyond Part II. The reader must be familiar with the rudiments of linear algebra (as summarized in the Appendix), complex numbers, and calculus up through partial derivatives; some acquaintance with Fourier analysis and the Dirac delta function would help. Elementary classical mechanics is essential, of course, and a little electrodynamics would be useful in places. As always, the more physics and math you know the easier it will be, and the more you will get out of your study. But I would like to emphasize that quantum mechanics is not, in my view, something that flows smoothly and naturally from earlier theories. On the contrary, it represents an abrupt and revolutionary departure from classical ideas, calling forth a wholly new and radically counterintuitive way of thinking about the world. That, indeed, is what makes it such a fascinating subject.
At first glance, this book may strike you as forbiddingly mathematical. We encounter Legendre, Hermite, and Laguerre polynomials, spherical harmonics, Bessel, Neumann, and Hankel functions, Airy functions, and even the Riemann zeta function—not to mention Fourier transforms, Hilbert spaces, hermitian operators, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, and Lagrange multipliers. Is all this baggage really necessary? Perhaps not, but physics is like carpentry: Using the right tool makes the job easier, not more difficult, and teaching quantum mechanics without the appropriate mathematical equipment is like asking the student to dig a foundation with a screwdriver. (On the other hand, it can be tedious and diverting if the instructor feels obliged to give elaborate lessons on the proper use of each tool. My own instinct is to hand the students shovels and tell them to start digging. They may develop blisters at first, but I still think this is the most efficient and exciting way to learn.) At any rate, I can assure you that there is no deep mathematics in this book, and if you run into something unfamiliar, and you don't find my explanation adequate, by all means ask someone about it, or look it up. There are many good books on mathematical methods—I particularly recommend Mary Boas, Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, 2nd ed., Wiley, New York (1983), or George Arfken and Hans-Jurgen Weber, Mathematical Methods for Physicists, 5th ed., Academic Press, Orlando (2000). But whatever you do, don't let the mathematics—which, for us, is only a tool—interfere with the physics.
Several readers have noted that there are fewer worked examples in this book than is customary, and that some important material is relegated to the problems. This is no accident. I don't believe you can learn quantum mechanics without doing many exercises for yourself. Instructors should of course go over as many problems in class as time allows, but students should be warned that this is not a subject about which anyone has natural intuitions—you're developing a whole new set of muscles here, and there is simply no substitute for calisthenics. Mark Semon suggested that I offer a "Michelin Guide" to the problems, with varying numbers of stars to indicate the level of difficulty and importance. This seemed like a good idea (though, like the quality of a restaurant, the significance of a problem is partly a matter of taste); I have adopted the following rating scheme:
* an essential problem that every reader should study;
** a somewhat more difficult or more peripheral problem;
*** an unusually challenging problem, that may take over an hour.
(No stars at all means fast food: OK if you're hungry, but not very nourishing.) Most of the one-star problems appear at the end of the relevant section; most of the three-star problems are at the end of the chapter. A solution manual is available (to instructors only) from the publisher.
In preparing the second edition I have tried to retain as much as possible the spirit of the first. The only wholesale change is Chapter 3, which was much too long and diverting; it has been completely rewritten, with the background material on finite-dimensional vector spaces (a subject with which most students at this level are already comfortable) relegated to the Appendix. I have added some examples in Chapter 2 (and fixed the awkward definition of raising and lowering operators for the harmonic oscillator). In later chapters I have made as few changes as I could, even preserving the numbering of problems and equations, where possible. The treatment is streamlined in places (a better introduction to angular momentum it! Chapter 4, for instance, a simpler proof of the adiabatic theorem in Chapter 10, and a new section on partial wave phase shifts in Chapter 11). Inevitably, the second edition is a bit longer than the first, which I regret, but I hope it is cleaner and more accessible.
I have benefited from the comments and advice of many colleagues, who read the original manuscript, pointed out weaknesses (or errors) in the first edition, suggested improvements in the presentation, and supplied interesting problems. I would like to thank in particular P. K.

Man already faces unrelated homicide charge in Okla.
WAUPACA, Wis. - An Oklahoma man charged on suspicion of a 1990 sexual assault in Wisconsin and considered a person of interest in a 1992 double murder will stand trial in the Wisconsin case.
Glendon Gouker, 41, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Friday in Waupaca County.
The Post-Crescent reported an arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 27.
Gouker is accused of sexually assaulting a then-20-year-old woman in November 1990 in Iola.
The break in the case came in 2011, when evidence was resubmitted to the state crime lab for analysis as part of an investigation into the 1992 fatal stabbings of 23-year-old Tanna Togstad and 35-year-old Tim Mumbrue.
Sheriff's officials said Gouker is a "person of interest" in the homicides.
Gouker was extradited from Oklahoma, where he's charged with killing a 19-year-old man.

Vivid Entertainment director in Albuquerque to talk pleasure positivity at the Pornotopia film festival
Tristan Taormino is trying to take a deep breath. When we speak, she's about to embark on a four-week tour and is using the day to read books. The titles are telling: When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön, an ordained Buddhist nun, and Wide Open: On Living With Purpose and Passion by Dawna Markova, described on Amazon.com as teaching "how to live with heart and mind wide open to all life's possibilities."
Taormino didn't know she was going to become a pornographer. She went to Wesleyan University where she majored in American Studies. She had good grades and great recommendations. Aside from her just-average LSAT scores, her application to law school looked great—or so everyone said. "In the spring of my senior year, I got rejected from every single law school I applied to, except for two, where I was wait-listed." Her plan had jumped the rails, and that was the only plan she really had.
"A lot of critical thinking and writing was done on it, so I didn't feel like, Oh my god, if I'm a pornographer, I'm going to be objectifying women."
Tristan Taormino
Her adviser bent her ear and blew her mind with this observation: "Tristan, I don't think you want to go to law school, and I don't think you want to be a lawyer. I think you want to write about sex." She said this because Taormino's senior thesis focused on lesbian sexual identity. It was 1993, she was 22, and she didn't think writing about sex could actually be a career. "There were certainly people doing amazing work in sex, but most of them had other jobs. And there was no such thing as a sex expert. Besides Dr. Ruth."
That was then. Taormino just completed her sixth book, The Big Book of Sex Toys. She's finished editing an erotic anthology for Cleis Press called Sometimes She Lets Me. And she's working on three new movies for Vivid, the largest adult video producer on the planet, according to Forbes. "It's hard for me to sort of stop working," Taormino says from her home in New York state's Hudson Valley. "I'm working on stopping working."
She's got no problem reconciling feminism and adult films and says that ease may be generational. "Some of the very first porn that I saw was feminist porn," she says. "I grew up when the sex wars of the '80s were already over, and there were already these voices within feminism that said not all porn is bad, and porn can actually be a good thing." If Taormino was born 10 or 15 years earlier, she estimates, the idea of feminist porn would be a lot harder to grapple with. "A lot of critical thinking and writing was done on it, so I didn't feel like, Oh my god, if I'm a pornographer, I'm going to be objectifying women."
Her first book was The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, published by Cleis Press. When it came out, she started teaching a workshop based on the guide at stores and conferences. Participants often asked when the video was coming out. Most of the sex-ed videos Taormino remembers seeing at that point, "they were certainly educational." She knew she could do it better. "I wanted my video to be instructional but also to have hardcore sex in it and be really hot." She produced it herself, got friends to work for free and borrowed equipment. But she wanted to hit the mainstream and so shopped the project to the big adult studios. And just like with law school, all of them turned her down. Except John Stagliano of Evil Angel production company. "I felt like although a lot of good stuff had been produced, there still weren't enough female voices behind the camera, and there certainly weren't enough feminists," Taormino says.
"They've had this amazing life experience being porn performers that is unmatched by anyone else. I think they have a lot to teach us."
Tristan Taormino
She says she likes working for Vivid because the company gives her complete creative control, even when push comes to shove. She hasn't been censored by Steven Hirsch, who heads the company. "He believes in me enough to see my ideas all the way through," she says. "I have this tremendous freedom there, although sometimes they sort of cock their heads like, Huh? What?" For instance, when she decided to make the Expert Guide to Oral Sex: Cunnilingus, she wanted her film to be focused entirely on that—without dissolving, as other films do, into average, heterosexual porno-intercourse.
Identifying as a feminist pornographer, she's tinkered with the process of making a film. Her goal is to create working environments that are safe, fair, respectful and positive. She collaborates with performers on what they're going to do. "I want them to be part of the images and share a part of their sexuality—whatever part they want—with the viewer." Her sets are atypical because she wants the sex to be as organic as possible. "If I feel like the energy's there and the connection between the performers is good and they're really getting into it—but, oh my god, there's a cable in the middle of the floor—I'm just going to quietly have someone grab that out of the shot rather than stop them or try to reposition them."
The best part of her job, she says, is getting to know porn stars. A diverse crowd, porn stars have each had a different path to this profession. "They've had this amazing life experience being porn performers that is unmatched by anyone else," she says. "I think they have a lot to teach us." That's why she includes interviews in her films. "We don't, as a culture, let porn performers speak for themselves enough."
When she casts people, she asks them who they want to work with. "The focus really is on the connection and also on them doing stuff they want to do." That translates to the screen, she says, because viewers can see people are genuinely having a good time. "The pleasure is mutual, and there's a lot of female orgasms in my movies." That's different than what she calls "bad porn," which caters only to men. Still, there's no pat way to make porn appeal to women, Taormino adds. "The first thing you have to do is abandon all hope that you'll be able to speak to all women," she says. "I've spoken to thousands of women about what they want to see, what kinds of porn they like, what kinds of porn they don't like, and there is no single female viewer."
Taormino wrote a sex column in the Village Voice for nine years. She has also written a Q&A advice column for Taboo Magazine for a decade. The kinds of questions she's received have made her pretty intimate with American sexuality. "People are getting more sexually savvy and sophisticated," she says. "Just the kinds of discussions that we're having and the ways in which we're having them have definitely shifted."

Channel your inner Lucy and get ready for some chocolate factory-style fun. Hopefully minus the mishaps, of course.
For the most part, wedding invitations are assembled in size order. The invitation itself is first. The enclosure cards are stacked on top of the invitations, not inside. The reception card is placed on top of the invitation. Then the reply envelope is placed face down on the reception card. The reply card is slipped face up beneath the flap of the reply envelope.
Any other enclosures are added face up in size order (usually at-home card, directions card, accommodation card, pew card, etc.). The single-fold invitation and its enclosures are placed into the inside envelope with the fold of the invitation at the bottom of the envelope and the engraving facing the back of the envelope. You can tell whether or not you stuffed the envelope correctly by removing the invitation with your right hand. If you can read the invitation without turning it, it was stuffed correctly.
The procedure for assembling traditional invitations (those with a second fold) is similar. The enclosures are placed on top of the lower half of the invitation's face in the same order described above. The invitation is folded from top to bottom over the enclosures. The invitation is then placed into the inside envelope with the fold toward the bottom of the envelope. As with other invitations, traditional invitations are correctly stuffed when they can be read without being turned after being removed from the envelope with your right hand.
Once stuffed, the inside envelopes are inserted into the outside envelopes. The front of the inside envelope faces the back of the outside envelope.
It is easy to tell which envelopes are which. The outside envelopes have glue on them; the inside envelopes do not and they are also a bit smaller. To avoid confusion when addressing envelopes, it is best to work with one set of envelopes at a time. Address all the outside envelopes first. After those are all addressed, start addressing the inside envelopes. That will make it almost impossible to address the wrong envelopes.
All wedding invitations were once shipped with small pieces of tissue separating each invitation. This prevented the slow-drying ink from smudging. Before mailing her invitations, the bride removed the tissues, as they were merely packing material and served no point of etiquette.
Through the years, many brides, unaware of the impropriety of sending tissued invitations, left the tissues in. As this practice grew, tissued invitations became as proper as non-tissued invitations.
Today, wedding invitations are properly sent both ways. Tissues are starting to serve an important function again, as the postal service's sorting equipment can cause smudging on invitations sent without tissues.
Since the tissues are meant to prevent smudging, they should be placed over the type on each invitation and enclosure.
If you're sending invitations without tissues, you may be able to ask your local post office to hand-cancel them. Hand-canceling also prevents the postal service from printing their advertising, disguised as part of the cancellation mark, on your wedding invitations.
Have more questions about wedding etiquette? Email our Crane Concierge at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tweed Rides are getting immensely popular around the world… and if you haven't heard of them before – here's a description of London's "Tweed Run" from wikipedia:
"The Tweed Run is a group bicycle ride through the centre of London, in which the cyclists are expected to dress in traditional British cycling attire, particularly tweed plus four suits. Any bicycle is acceptable on the Tweed Run, but classic vintage bicycles are encouraged. Some effort to recreate the spirit of a bygone era is always appreciated"
There's been some talk of a Toronto Tweed Ride in the past… but the organization has not really happened, so we thought we'd help organize one by bringing together people who are interested and go from there.
We've established a Facebook Page that you can "like" if you're interested in helping plan one… or merely want to participate when it happens.
We are in the beginning stages now… we still need to decide the when, where, how… not to mention tweed resources in Toronto… but enough people are interested that this will happen sooner or later.
Like the Toronto Tweed Ride on Facebook!
Possible slogans:
- Tweed is the new neon spandex
- Yeah, it's cool, bow ties are cool.
- Party like it's 1899.
- I say, dear chap, where did you get that absolutely smashing velocipede?
For some visual interest… here are some promotional graphics from Tweed Rides from other cities!
[also, if you can spot the Doctor Who reference in this post, you shall receive geek points! yay!]

From the IRS
The Internal Revenue Service today issued an alert to payroll and human resources professionals to beware of an emerging phishing email scheme that purports to be from company executives and requests personal information on employees. The IRS has learned this scheme already has claimed several victims as payroll and human resources offices mistakenly email payroll data including Forms W-2 that contain Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information to cybercriminals posing as company executives. If your CEO appears to be emailing you for a list of company employees, check it out before you respond. Everyone has a responsibility to remain diligent about confirming the identity of people requesting personal information about employees.

MasterCard Phone Scam Hits Northern Illinois
Many consumers in Northern Illinois are reporting that they are receiving automated messages stating that their MasterCard has been compromised. The consumer is instructed to call and verify their information in order to get a new card. The Better Business Bureau warns that if an automated system calls asking for credit card information it is probably a scam. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is offering tips on what consumers need to know to protect themselves. If you should receive one of these calls you should: Not return a call from a pre-recorded message. If speaking to a live "operator" ask for his/or her name, department and extension.

IRS Warns About Continuing Scam Phone Calls
The IRS is continuing to warning to taxpayers not to be fooled by impostors posing as tax agency representatives. These callers may demand money or may say you have a refund due and try to trick you into sharing private information. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They may know a lot about you, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. If you don't answer, they often leave an "urgent" callback request. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money, here's what you should do: If you know you owe taxes or think you might owe, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. The IRS workers can help you with a payment issue.

Pequot Lakes tax levy to drop .34 percent in 2013
Unlike in recent years, the Pequot Lakes City Council on Tuesday, Dec. 4, unanimously passed the 2013 budget and general revenue tax levy with no discussion.
The general revenue tax levy is $1,458,000, plus a $28,432 tax abatement levy, bringing the total levy amount to $1,486,432. That's 0.34 percent less ($5,094) than the 2012 total levy, which was $1,491,526.
Historically, council members Tom Ryan and Jerry Akerson have opposed any budget and levy increases. In Ryan's last council meeting after not being re-elected in November, he had no comments regarding the budget and levy. Nor did anyone else.
The levy reduction comes from re-organization of city office staff, elimination of part-time police officers, a decrease in overtime hours, a decrease in capital outlay for roads and streets, and other miscellaneous items.
The city's tax abatement levy pertains to the Pequot Lakes Supervalu project. This is the second of 13 years for that levy. Before the store was built, the city agreed to abate the city's portion of taxes on the increased value of the development back to the developer from 2012-24.
The council also approved the HRA budget and levy at $38,250, the same as this year.
A committee met several times since the council approved a preliminary budget and levy of $1,563,362 in September to lower the budget and tax levy. After reducing the levy to $1,454,000 by November, the council approved a slightly higher levy ($4,000 more) after considering 2013 police contracts.
Mayor Nancy Adams pointed out that tax statements residents recently received in the mail reflect that preliminary levy, which now has been reduced and should lower property taxes.
Both the general city tax rate and rural service tax rates increased — by 0.838 percent (from 74.466 percent to 75.304 percent) for the general city tax rate and by 0.421 percent (from 37.780 percent to 38.201 percent) for the rural service tax rate.
Tax rates are calculated by dividing the property tax levy the city sets by the total tax base that the county determines every year.
In a presentation, city finance director Nancy Malecha listed other factors that could increase a resident's property taxes. Those included a levy increase for the county, city or township, school district and special taxing districts; property market values; property classification changes; and a decrease in total market values for the county, city or township.
The HRA budget is funded through a special levy.
In the end, the council approved the 2013 tax levy fund budgets and levy, 2013 special revenue fund budgets, 2013 enterprise fund budgets and the 2013 HRA budget and levy unanimously.
No one spoke during a public hearing regarding the budget and tax levy.
The council also approved a 1.25 percent cost-of-living increase for 2013 non-union employees.

It's darlin' Fraew! You'll be able ta use it this Christmas. Hooray!
You are all so sweet and kind. Thanks for the encouragement. Now to finish my April UFO. :)
Some finishes for April. These are old and been in bags just waiting to be done. The turtle did not turn out as nice as I would have hoped, but he will work as a pin cushion. I have four tops to quilt, two baby quilts to quilt that are lined up and ready to go and hopefully finish two 30's quilt tops to quilt. That is the agenda, now to be sure time allows.
Great job Quilter Momma, keep them coming. You can do it. I hope your very proud of yourself. That was one long list of UFO's your working your ways through. It's awesome seeing all your finishes. I'm enjoying the show.:) :thumbup:
Oh, I just love the iris, it was my mother's favorite flower, and now it is mine too. Well, one of mine. LOL, I have so many favorites. And the Bluebirds are so adorable, I love that wallhanging!! Great jobs on the finishes and how I love hearing that bell ringing, even if it's not ringing for me. At least I rang it once this month so I am happy and not going to complain at myself for not getting more done.
Starting Saturday is a week of quilting/sewing with family at my S-I-L's home in Webster, NY. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and having time with them and laughs and fun and games. I am bringing along 2 UFO projects as well as the kaleidascope I started in Ohio and the quilt I want to start for my DH for our 40th anniversary this year. I like having options to work on. :D
2 sides left on binding and I will have an April finish, whoo hooo!
on the list for May, more placemats and journal covers.
Customer quilt need to come first, so I am a bit behind on my UFO finish list:(
this weekend away for 4 days with some girl friends to quit, hope to get alot done, but nothing will get "finished".
Hi everyone - I have been off the QB for what seems like ages, and am just now catching up on posting pictures.
These are my February UFO's.
#1 is a mystery quilt I started in 1999!
#2 is a tool panel
#3 is my granddaughters birthday gift....while other grandma's are doing pink and cute, I've got 'day of the dead' for the 19 year old. To each her own, I guess.
#4 is some fabric I picked up at our guild yard sale for $2.00. I did add a little more to it, though.
I am enjoying seeing all the UFO's being finished!
Now for March:
#1 are two of the four 'All About Poppa' quilts that I finished in March. I made a total of seven. One has been done for awhile, and I still have two more to quilt. These were made to keep my husband's memory alive for the grandkids. Each family will receive one.
#2 is a wall quilt to hide my daughter's ugly walls (she lives in an old house and the walls are not the best).
#3 was started in 2007 and is based on an antique quilt I saw in a magazine.
#4 is a small baby quilt. No story on this one!
#5 is a Halloween quilt made with blocks received in a block swap last year on the QB.
Wow, Kris, awesome finishes!! Thanks for the lovely show over coffee this morning. Can't wait to see more. :) Yes, I'm drooling a bit. LOL beautiful quilting.

Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. Bring 7 cups of water to a boil in a 4-quart pot over high heat. Add 3/4 tsp. salt. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally and adding more boiling water as necessary to keep the quinoa covered, until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse the quinoa with cold water to stop the cooking.
Transfer the quinoa to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, and toss lightly to coat. Spread the quinoa on the baking sheet and cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Put the lemon juice in a small bowl and gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice or olive oil as needed.
Put the cooked and cooled quinoa in a large serving bowl and toss to break up any clumps. Add the sugar snaps, bell peppers, avocado, almonds, cilantro, and basil and 1/2 cup vinaigrette and toss. Taste and season as needed with more vinaigrette, salt, and pepper. Serve or refrigerate for up to 1 day. If making ahead, let sit at room temperature so it's not refrigerator-cold and season with more vinaigrette, salt, and pepper before serving.

Restroom/chamber building bids lower than expected
Bids for a public restroom/chamber of commerce building came in quite a bit lower than Nisswa City Council members expected, but discussion on the proposed project was still lengthy Thursday, April 11.
Before possibly awarding the bid, the council wanted research done on the low bidder and wanted to hold a public hearing regarding an abatement bond that would fund the building, as well as improvements to the city park and community center.
That public hearing will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, at Nisswa City Hall.
The April 11 meeting was to review bids, which the city sought to determine more specific costs for the public restroom/chamber of commerce building before deciding whether to go forward with it.
The city received five bids. Country Pride Construction of Stanchfield submitted the lowest bid at $343,384. The city isn't familiar with that company so wanted more research done.
Other bids were $349,950, HyTec Construction of Brainerd; $379,192, Gopher State Contracting of Rice; $393,600, Rice Lake Construction of Deerwood; and $415,000, Nor-son of Baxter.
The city had estimated the project would cost $380,000, and Mayor Brian Lehman said he expected bids to be $100,000 more than they were.
When the council first decided to pursue an abatement bond for three projects — a public restroom facility, park improvements and community center improvements — the chamber of commerce portion of the public restroom building wasn't part of considerations.
The chamber later asked the city to include that portion, saying it wanted to return to its downtown location after having moved to Nisswa Square. The current public restroom/former chamber building wasn't built to be a year-round facility and needs to be updated, officials have said.
The council will consider a 10- or 15-year abatement bond to pay for the three projects, and learned $615,000 would cover the cost. That includes an estimated $108,764 for community center improvements and $126,350 for park improvements, as well as the public restroom/chamber building cost.
The city budgeted about $58,000 in 2013 for a bond payment this year. Conservative estimates on a 10-year bond peg the annual debt service at $68,597; those estimates on a 15-year bond put that annual debt service at $53,723.
Interest rates could be more favorable than that conservative estimate.
"If we include the chamber building with $800 per month rent, that would be $9,600 per year applied back to the debt service payment," Lehman said. "So we're definitely in the ballpark, which is really, really good."
While council member Lenny Hodgson agreed bids were lower than expected, he questioned how much of the public restroom/chamber building project the city should fund.
"I can't imagine the city wants to bite off $260,000 of $343,000 and say that's the cost of the restroom side," he said.
That $260,000 is what the city previously estimated public restrooms would cost, before adding the chamber portion of the building. An idea was that the chamber would be responsible for costs beyond that $260,000.
"Why, when we get a bid we feel is low, are we going to assume that all of that good news goes to the chamber side?" Hodgson asked.
Lehman said he wasn't saying that. But the city was willing to go forward with the project for the estimated $260,000, he said.
Hodgson asked why the $260,000 figure was referred to and reiterated that he wondered what percentage the city would pay for and what percentage the chamber would reimburse to the city through lease payments.
"I can't see the city paying 70 percent of this deal and the chamber 30 percent just because we got good bids," Hodgson said.
After preliminary talks with the chamber, a tentative idea has been for the chamber to pay $800 per month for 10 years and $900 per month for another 10 years. But no agreement has yet been signed.
"Ultimately the building is the city's," Lehman said. "We have a tenant that is the chamber of commerce.
"The bid is $100,000 less than what we thought so this is a great problem to have," he said.
Lehman later said, "This project should be a go because it falls within the realms of money we budgeted for."
Hodgson responded, "You don't have to spend it just because you talked about budgeting it."
Again, Lehman said that wasn't what he was saying.
Hodgson said, "I want to be assured the city is not biting off $260,000 or anywhere near that for the bathroom side of that project. If we were bidding just for the bathroom, there's no way it would have been $260,000."
Council member Jan Pierce said at the end of the day, the city will own the building. The question is whether the city wants to assume more of the debt upfront or have the chamber pay more in rent based on some percentage that still must be determined.
Hodgson said there are limits to what the city can do with the building. It couldn't lease to a retailer.
"I want to make sure the city has its back side covered," he said.
Mark Ronnei of Grand View Lodge asked the council to look at the lease with the chamber as a long-term lease.
"You're (city) a landlord and you're (chamber) a tenant," he said. "It's healthier for the chamber and the city that way."
Ronnei said the city and chamber aren't partners. The lease should run forever, as long as the chamber occupies the building.
The council was expected to talk more about this issue at its Wednesday, April 17, council meeting. And the council will get questions answered before the May 4 public hearing regarding the proposed abatement bond.

"I trained to be a nurse because I watched my parents minister to the sick in the poorest towns of my country. Resources were bare and work appeared very difficult, yet they looked inspired and content. My personal goal became the desire to follow their example and to my pleasant surprise the rewards are priceless.
Reward for me is about opportunity. To be involved in the journey of a novice nurse toward expert practice is a privilege and a rare opportunity in the shaping of someone's career. Most impressive is when positive patient outcomes are recognized and the nurse is instrumental in the process. The nurse turns to you and says, 'Thank you for your mentorship.' I know that my work is done only to continue for the next one in line."

" These IEMs have an MRSP of $40. For that price they are not worth it. However, in many discount places, especially in Canada, you may find these @ $15 or less. If you find them for this price, grab them. I personally paid $10. Sound is great for the price. They look very rugged and feel solid, I believe they are made from aluminum.

Hi folks. I recently sold off my POTF2 collection & 12" collection to accumulate much needed cash for attempting to complete my Vintage 3 3/4 collection (not including Droids & Ewoks - no desire there!).
I'm using eBay for Playsets & Vehicles, but I'm very particular about the figures I want in my collection. Most of my 3 3/4 collection is from my own stash as a child which is in great shape. All I need to complete is the majority of the POTF figures. I'm a loose collector & don't really care about the coins.
Are there any good sites besides Brian's Toys that I can purchase C8+ figures?

The Biochemistry Section of EHLB measuers chemicals or their metabolities in blood and urine samples from random samples of particpants from the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (CECBP). The Biochemistry Section is responsible for sample management, the analysis and reporting of metals in blood for CECBP, and for the analysis and reporting of non-persistent organics and their metabolites in urine for CECBP.
The Lead Poisoning Prevention Unit (LPPU) of the Biochemistry Section laboratory can analyze blood and other biological specimens for lead content and other heavy metal content. This service is utilized by public health agencies in California for research and special projects, for confirmation of results reported by other laboratories, and to assist other laboratories in maintaining the quality of their blood lead level testing. The section also acts as a referee laboratory for proficiency testing programs and the Center for Disease Control in setting target values for proficiency testing materials and reference materials for blood lead, other heavy metals, and erythrocyte protoporphyrin.
The unit also evaluates new methods of monitoring the population for toxic metals poisoning and for monitoring human exposure to lead and other toxic metals in California.
The LPPU laboratory is accredited in the USEPA National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP). Environmental testing in the LPPU laboratory supports the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) of the California Department of Public Health and other public health programs. For commercial laboratories providing environmental lead testing services to the public at large, we recommend contacting a private-sector NLLAP laboratory.
Testing of suspected sources of exposure in cases of lead poisoning may include substances such as paint, soil, dust, and any other environmental sample commonly identified as sources of lead exposure. In cases where these typical sources of lead are ruled out, county and state public health organizations may submit samples of less commonly tested potential sources of lead such as: candies; ceramics; plastic ware; mini blinds; herbal medicines or home remedies; and other more unique items to the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch for analysis at the LPPU laboratory. California Department of Public Health and FDA Alert warnings were issued as a result of investigations and testing done at the LPPU laboratory.
The EHLB's Biochemistry Section is responsible for maintaining the list of Laboratories Approved to Perform Cholinesterase Testing (PDF) for Occupational Health Surveillance. The list is updated in January and June. of each year.
The EHLB's Biochemistry Section is responsible for maintaining the list of laboratories proficient in blood lead analysis for reimbursement by the California Child Health and Disability Program (CHDP). CBLPAP monitors the proficiency of Blood Lead Laboratories (PDF) and updates the list three times a year.
