It is often said that the United States is a nation of immigrants. Is the US still the best place to settle in?
United States total immigrant admissions for lawful permanent residents (LPRs) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 decreased by 2.9% from the previous year to 1 031 000.
On the occasion of the OECD High Level Policy Forum on Migration taking place on December 1 and 2 2014, Secretary General Angel Gurria congratulates President Obama on taking action to address the unsustainable situation of undocumented immigrants.

Whether migration can be an equilibrating force in the labour market is an important criterion for an optimal currency area. The migration reaction to high labour market disparities is of interest particularly within the Eurozone, which lacks an exchange-rate mechanism. This paper compares pre- and post-crisis migration movements at the regional level in both Europe and the United States.
The economic crisis is likely to cause the first major fall in the number of migrants coming to work in OECD countries since the 1980s, according to a new OECD report.

"Rescission" is a term that refers to bank loans. The "Right of Rescission" is the legally sanctioned ability of a consumer, that is, the borrower, to back out of a loan within a specific period of time. It is a federal statute that makes up an important part of the 1968 "Truth in Lending Act." This act was designed to protect consumers from fraudulent or otherwise unethical banking practices.
What is Is
One way of explaining the rescission right is that of a "cooling off" period. Impulsive people who sign papers without thinking are protected. If you can find a lower rate elsewhere before the grace period expires, the right applies. The general purpose is to protect both consumers and banks from loans entered into in haste, or through illegal or immoral practices.
How it Works
The consumer has three full business days to back out of the loan. "Business days" refer to Saturday, even if the lender is closed on that day. It does not refer to Sundays or federal holidays. The three-day grace period begins only when the documents are signed, all disclosures are given and the copy of the rescission notice is given from the bank to the borrower. Before midnight on the third day, the consumer has the right to renege on the loan. The reneging must occur in writing, and the postmark on the envelope must be within the three-day period. Once this is done, according to section 226.23 of the law, the bank then has 20 days to give any property back that it has taken at the time of the signing. No monies are to be given to the borrower during this time.
Where it Applies
The 1968 law, Section 226.23(f), makes an explicit exception for those loans taken out in order to purchase your primary residence. If the loan exists as a direct purchase for your main house, then there is no right of rescission. If you are using your primary residence as collateral to buy a non-primary home, then right of rescission applies, but only in that case. Section 226.15 of the act holds that "continuous credit" is not part of the rescission process. This means that credit cards or other "lines" of credit are governed by the original loan terms, not each time the card or "line" is used.
The right of rescission can be waived. This can be done at any time within the three-day grace period by the borrower and for any reason. If the money is needed for an emergency, such as a sudden health problem or disaster relief, there is generally no right of rescission granted. Declaring this sort of purpose for the money automatically constitutes a waiver of the right. The borrower must inform the bank in writing of the nature of the emergency.

Romney-Ryan economics: yes to millionaires, no to Medicare
With the selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney's message to seniors and the middle class is the same as his message to the American auto industry—let them go bankrupt.
The Romney-Ryan plan would end Medicare as we know it, privatize social security, and slash Pell grants.
Jim, a retired teacher in Zanesville, shares why he's opposed to it:
"We're talking about elderly people paying more. I've worked in public schools for 40 years, and I deserve Medicare. Without it, I'd be paying quite a bit of money for my health insurance, and to turn that into a voucher program would be awful."
Jim is concerned about what a Romney-Ryan ticket means for Ohioans:
"It's about the middle-class, and having a good retirement. A lot of people depend on social security, and it has to be saved, and they'd privatize it. We've got to protect programs that help America's seniors."
"They want to get the rich to get richer. If they won the election, they would also try to repeal Obamacare. That would be bad for seniors who rely on healthcare, for people with pre-existing conditions, and private insurance companies would be able to charge what they wanted. It would be a huge financial burden on everyone."
Under the Romney-Ryan plan, seniors would be forced to pay an extra $6,400 to keep up with rising health costs.
That's an economic plan that Ohio just can't afford. To get the facts on the Romney-Ryan plan, visit www.gobackteam.com, and say you're with Obama-Biden while you're at it.

See the links below for details of rides that can be done as day trips from Taipei and further afield. They will take you into the mountains where the clean air and beautiful scenery will make you feel like Taipei is a million miles away.
Bikes can be taken on the MRT in Taipei although conditions apply. In summary only on weekends and public holidays and only at certain stations. Pick up a leaflet in English from any MRT station for more details or check the official regulations on the MRT website. This can be a convenient way to access the network of bike paths along the rivers in Taipei. A map of the paths in Taipei County can be found here. You can also download the Taipei Metro's Guide to Hiking and Cycling (5MB pdf file).
It is also possible to take bikes on trains in Taiwan. Taiwan in Cycles has compiled detailed information in English about the Taiwan Railway Administration bicycle policy.
It is possible to hire bikes at many locations around Taiwan. There are bike hire stations at most places where bike paths have been built. For example, in Taipei they can be found at numerous places along the riverside bike paths including Bali, Guandu, Dadaocheng, Gongguan and Xindian. If you want to hire a high quality bike for touring then you can rent a Giant from one of twenty stores around Taiwan. More details here. Alan's Mountain Bike in Taipei also rent quality mountain bikes and organise rides on weekends.
This Taipei Times article contains information about many of the bicycle paths around Taiwan. Have a look at Rides and Trails on the Formosan Fat Tire Association's web site.

There are dozens of roads and trails offering great riding so just get out there and explore!

As soon as you begin the lawsuit process, you're essentially entering a war zone. You will be fighting an insurance company that doesn't want to pay you, their attorneys who will work hard to reduce the insurer's liability, or your company's attorneys who don't want the company to be held liable for its negligence.
How to Win Your Injury Case is a guide to understanding what it means to win or lose your case. It is not legal advice; instead, this book is meant to enlighten you on what goes into a successful case. Essentially, it's a guide to how you can win the war.
Brian Beckcom will show you the common factors he sees in cases that are won. He will answer the most common questions asked by injured people and their families. What he will describe in the book is based on what he has seen in his many years of handling injury cases.
"Did you wake up one day and think that today would be the day you would be in an accident? Of course you did not. No one thinks that way. But here you are, either dealing with an injury from an accident or helping your injured family member recover. Either way, it is important that you get an idea of how personal injury cases are won (and lost)."
This excerpt from the book highlights why Brian wrote this guide. Injured people and their families don't plan on getting hurt. But, when it happens, they need to know what to do. How to Win Your Injury Case is designed to answer many of the questions you might have and to also warn you about the things that can hurt your chances of recovering money for your case.

What Makes Your Website Search Engine Friendly?
In the previous posts, I have already discussed about the must know reasons why every start-up needs to have a website now, and even gave away some helpful tips on what effective website design principles to include in your web design trends to drive more traffic in 2015.
However, this time, I have decided to take some time and energy to write an article that explains to readers the reasons why web designers and developers need to know SEO.
Why does your website design need to be search engine friendly?
That is because, a website once put up, has an important role to play. It needs to be easily accessible to the target audience when they look up from the search engine platform. In other words, a website design needs to be SEO optimized so that it can become friendly to both the search engines and the humans.
Learning how to build or modify a web page to make it search engine friendly is a necessary guide for anyone involved in a website construction, be it programming or designing. That is why, allow me to get down to the basic technical aspects to understand why your web design needs to be SEO friendly. It is often preferable for a website owner to have some knowledge about his/her own site. This can help him/her understand better the next time he/she sits down to discuss about a project with a web design and development company.
#1 – Why Your Content Should Be Indexable?
Indexable content placed in HTML text format, allows better search engine listing. That is because, contents having flash files, images or anything that has no text, are left devalued or ignored by the search engine bots. Placing your words and phrases in HTML text format ensures that the search engine crawlers too can view the content just like the viewers.
Some of the more advanced visual display styles and formatting that you can try out are –
- Add crawlable and navigation links in the search boxes
- Include Alt text for your images to provide a description to the search engines regarding the visual content
- Add texts to the pages where you have Java or Flash plug-ins
- You can supplement your audio or video content with texts that the search engines can index
How do the search engines view your web page? – Well you can find this out by using tools like Google Cache, which will show you how your web pages are visible to the search engine bots.
#2 – Why Keyword Optimization Is Important?
That's because this is the fundamental step to every search process. A user can make use of a keyword to retrieve information and you have to make sure that the content on your web page has been optimized with the right search word. When the search engine bots crawl the contents of a web page, they track down the pages based on the indexed keywords. This helps them store millions of small databases, all centered around a particular key phrase or term. The search engines can extract the information within seconds using the keyword.
Keywords dominate the manner in which humans and the search engines communicate. But you need to make sure how you are placing them; for the order of the words, punctuation, spelling and capitalization are things that help the engine bots measure the manner in which keywords are used on a web page. This helps them to determine the relevance of a document to a search query. Therefore, it is important that you use the keywords in the text, title and the meta data of a web page. I do not need to specifically mention this, for you I take it that my readers know by now that bad keyword usage leads to more harm than help, with your search engine ranking.
Some of the best ways that you can optimize your keywords on-page are –
- Keep your keyword phrase near the beginning of your title tag
- Include variations of the targeted word in your body content.
- Add once at least to the alt attribute in your image, for that can bring in traffic to your page via image and web search.
- Add the keyword at least once in the URL.
- Add to the meta description tag (this is used as a text snippet by the search engines to help readers find out what each result on the SERP talks about)
With all these said, you should not however use keywords in the link anchor text that point towards other website pages. This is called Keyword Cannibalization.
#3 – Why Your Website Needs An External CSS Stylesheet?
A CSS Stylesheet helps to format a web design to give a website its standardized appearance. There are some web designers who practise the use of internal CSS for convenience. However, using the internal CSS stylesheet is of no use, for an external stylesheet makes HTML coding become concise.
#4 – Why Be Mindful About Web Elements Like Title Tags?
Title tags provide a concise way to describe a page content and hence is important to both the search engines and the users. Therefore, you need to make sure that your title tags are well optimized for the sake of usability and search engine friendliness.
The general length of a title tag for most search engines and social media sites is around 65 – 75 characters. However, if you have multiple number of keywords to use, then it is advisable to increase the title tag length.
Place the important keywords in the front part of your title tag, because the closer they are to the start, the better the chances of website ranking. In addition to this, it also becomes easily identifiable by people on the search engine results page.
Including brand name in the beginning of your title tag, on the home page heightens brand awareness. This in turn makes your website more familiar with the browsers, thus additionally increasing the number of click through rates.
SEO friendly web design is more about user experience than just strategic keyword usage and optimization. The title tag is the first element on a website to enhance user interaction with the particular brand. Hence, your title tag should be able to convey a positive impression to the target audience.
#5 – Why URL Construction Should Follow Strict Guidelines?
The URLs appear in many important locations like in the address bar of a web browser or on the search engines. They are of great importance when seen from the search perspective and hence, a poorly designed URL framework can often lead to negative user experience.
Some of the best ways for optimizing a URL construction –
- Transform your dynamic URLs into static that are easily readable and are not made complicated with overly used numbers, symbols and parameters. This is because even a single dynamic URL could lower a website's overall indexing and ranking.
- There are web applications that do not interpret separators such as plus signs, underscores, spaces accurately. Therefore using characters like hyphen in the URL to separate words will give it a fresh good factor.
- Make sure your URL is as simple as possible so that it could be easily memorized by a user. Therefore, minimize the length and the trailing slashes so that they are fully visible when placed in text messages, emails, blog posts and even when they appear on the search engines.
Web design is about striking the right balance between a fancy design and SEO. A website does not make successful conversions unless you can optimize it to make it search engine friendly. It turns effective only when you combine the joint elements of design, content and programming to communicate with people who use the search engines daily. If your web design optimization needs are far more critical than this, you can consult a reputed web design and development company for further assistance.

Danielle Staub's Ex Reveals A Coke Whore Past (Giudice Was Right!)
Real Housewives of New Jersey bad girl Danielle Staub has always been known for having quite a soiled past. And that shit is not going away quietly. Her ex-husband Kevin Maher recently testified about Danielle's life when she was still known as Beverly Merrill.
Maher reports in a videotaped deposition in May 2010 that he wed Danielle (even though he was already married) in 1988 because otherwise their dating could have sent her to prison for parole violation seeing as he was a convicted felon.
He says their relationship was marked by copious amounts of cocaine ("just about every day of our lives"), sex (saying Danielle is a nymphomaniac and that they were having sex at least 4 times a day), and violence ("I can't recall a time where I hit her that I was not defending myself").
Sounds like Danielle alright. The testimony is part of a lawsuit Maher filed against Staub for what he claims are untrue statements she has made against him. She's alleged that Maher raped her on a bed of glass, inserted a gun into her vagina and played Russian roulette, and killed her dog by hanging it.
My real question is – did Bravo know what the hell this woman was all about when they asked her to be on RHONJ? I mean, she's ratings gold, but damn she's a stockpile of human garbage!

I got a sample of this in the VIB clutch. Before I tried this I rarely ever used primers but once I tried this I got a bit hooked. lol.
This gives me the most beautiful glow once all my makeup is applied. The first time I walked by a mirror that morning I actually stopped & had to do a double-take. I had always avoided glowy products before because they were too shiny/glittery for me. But this changed my mind. Now when I don't use it, I feel a bit disappointed in the way my overall makeup looks.
Big downside is that this product is $42. The regular Smashbox primer is $36, which was already a bit high. Despite my positive review, I won't be purchasing this. Mostly because I also needed a setting powder so the cost of both items ended up being more than Guerlain Meteorites which would give me the glow & the setting.
But if you need a primer, like glowy skin & don't mind the price, go for it!

Break out the Rolling Rock, everyone's favorite nerd (with serious anger management issues) is finally getting close to releasing his first feature length film and today fans are treated with the first trailer — loaded with enough filth, cursing and potty humor in three minutes to rival many of the show's full episodes.
The long running web series has grown since its humble beginnings as a YouTube video game review back in 2004. Going by the title "Bad NES Games", star James Rolfe's liberal use of profanity and rampant alcohol consumption mixed with a humorously vicious review of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest earned him the respect of gamers who remembered the title with both love and disdain (a common theme of the show). The Angry Video Game Nerd, as he's come to be called, went on to create a web series where he mercilessly tore apart retro games, particularly those that were either incredibly difficult or severely flawed due to poor game design, to the delight of fans who enjoyed the nostalgia or simply wanted to learn a bit of gaming history.
The production budget was never particularly high, but as it evolved, the series saw the use of multiple actors, video graphics and even an admittedly catchy theme song, through support from friends and fans. The movie, however, needed even more support and James reached out to fans for financial help by asking for donations through IndieGoGo, an international crowd funding site — outlets growing in popularity as a major resource in funding gaming projects. Through this service, the film far exceeded its asking goal of $75,000, reaching $325,327 by the end of the campaign — evidence that the show has a seriously dedicated fanbase. With the trailer's production quality clearly surpassing its online counterpart in just about every respect, it's evident the money is being put to good use.
Since filming began in Spring 2012, fans have had to be patient while the show took an extended hiatus from regular video updates while James focused on the film — which is promised to be more than a simple video game review, it's an epic adventure about a video game review. But not just any video game, the most notoriously awful game of all time: E.T. for the Atari — which just happens to be the only game The Nerd hasn't reviewed, and is also the most requested.
Fans will see that request finally fulfilled sometime Summer 2013, when it is expected to release on DVD and Blu-ray.

Prospects Will Break Your Heart
What Could Go Right for the Chicago Cubs in 2011
According to baseball mythology, the Cubs are a tortured team, hexed by goats and cats, by the selfish hands of fans, and by Mark Prior's flawless mechanics. For all the "torture"—and trust me, Cubs fans will always remind you of the torture—Chicago can still boast about playing in the third-greatest city in the United States (behind NYC and San Fran; deal with it, Chicago), plus-plus uniform aesthetics, Bill Murray, and Starlin Castro's hit tool. See? That's a lot to live for.
Nietzsche said, "The miserable have no other medicine but hope," and because I took a shot at the city of Chicago right out of the gate, and because I'm basically suggesting that fans of the team are miserable (which they are), I want to bottle some of that hope and deliver it you, the aforementioned tortured fan.
Instead of feeding you reasons to remain miserable, I'm going to move away from the norm and break down the top five prospects in the Cubs' system, giving you reasons to be optimistic heading into the 2011 season. While not exactly a ritualistic sacrifice of a goat on the pitcher's mound, or a public humiliation of Steve Bartman, this exercise will offer a brief respite from the pain you must feel every season. But before I provide the dreams that will soothe your aching wounds, I want to satisfy my own bloodlust and hurt you one last time: Hee Seop Choi.
Prospect #1: RHP Trey McNutt
Prospect #2: Brett Jackson
In 2011, Jackson will advance to Triple-A, with a good chance of reaching Chicago by the end of the season. Because his tools are all 50-grade (or slightly above), Jackson shouldn't encounter major setbacks on his way to the 25-man roster, and even if he does stumble, the maturity of his game will allow him to make the necessary adjustments to the level. Jackson is a prospect without major holes and without major red flags, and if you are looking for a high-floor/average-ceiling type, he is basically the poster boy for what a solid-average major leaguer will look like.
Prospect #3: Matt Szczur
Could it get bumpy? Yes; I assume it will ebb and flow over the next few seasons. But now that Szczur is devoted to baseball and baseball alone, the league (and Cubs fans specifically) gets to sit back and watch an interesting prospect develop into an exceptional one. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a household name, albeit one that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Prospect #4: Chris Carpenter
In 2011, Carpenter could have an impact in the major-league pen, first throwing heavy doses of smoke and then getting players to chase with darting sliders. He isn't going to be as effective in longer spots, throwing in the low 90s with average-at-best control. His secondaries also don't look so hot when you get multiple looks at the arm. Carpenter will play much better in short stints, and even though his ceiling in the pen isn't elite, he has impact potential in the late innings.
Prospect #5: Josh Vitters
When I look at Vitters, I see crazy bat speed and excellent strength, but I also see an impatient hitter, closer to a young Dominican than a 21-year-old former top-three pick. I get the fact that he loves to get his bat in the zone and test his ability to touch anything thrown. That's an awesome party trick. But making contact on bad balls is a quick ticket out of advanced baseball, and without a better all-around approach, Vitters might just find himself at the peak of his developmental arc.
What could go right in 2011 is really about putting the tools together with a more mature approach. Vitters is a gifted hitter, perhaps owner of one of the best raw hit tools in the minors. But his offensive attributes have been suppressed by his approach, and unless that takes a turn in '11, it could be all she wrote, at least as far as his prospect status is concerned. Now, if Vitters can learn to lay off bad balls (remember: It's not that he swings and misses, it's that he swings and connects, which leads to poor contact and poor strength utilization), he can work himself into more favorable counts and situations. It's not out of the realm of possibility for an ultra-aggressive hitter to find a more moderate approach to hitting, but it's certainly not a given that these intrinsic habits can be refined. Personally, I think Vitters will show more maturity at the plate in 2011 and work himself back into Chicago's plans for the future. While I don't think he will become the star his draft status suggests is possible, I do think his offensive attributes can eventually find a home at the highest level. Dream on that.

3rd best city? Jason, do you realize that non-ironic mustaches never went out of style here? You need to do a comprehensive dive-bar tour here. On a baseball note, I'm most intrigued by Sczur's upside and definitely most worried about Vitters' issues. I wholeheartedly agree with your high-floor assessment of Jackson- which will fit in with their existing young talent base and some wise FA signings as money frees up.

It's unequivocally a plus! People in CHI know how to eat, drink , and don't take themselves too seriously. That being said, it isn't a cultural backwater, like a lot of other "blue-collar" cities.
Mar 23, 2011 08:39 AM
Williamsburg has become a little hard to handle; too much effort. I find myself enjoying Bushwick a lot more, although the food/drink status of the area is underdeveloped.
Mar 23, 2011 08:49 AM
It's not Patrick in the quote, it's Pepper - their Pitching coach.

McNutt will be a star. I also agree that Carpenter would be better off in the 'pen.

Why is Szczur not in Goldstein's top 20?
Mar 23, 2011 08:53 AM
KG seems to be taking a wait-see approach with him. Callis of BA is very high on him. I'll add that Keith Law seems to be holding back judgement , like KG.

I'm not holding back judgement, I simply have plenty of questions about the hit tool. Some scouts thought it would need a complete reworking.

#3 vs. #?
Mar 23, 2011 09:07 AM
Like Kevin, I'm a tools whore, but I'm certainly putting it on the table with this ranking. It's more than a little optimistic, but the upside justifies it for me.
Mar 23, 2011 09:14 AM
I'd love to see an article series where Kevin and Jason argue over prospects like Szczur. It would be great to see a more in depth breakdown of "He projects to hit for average and power" and "I simply have plenty of questions about the hit tool. Some scouts thought it would need a complete reworking".
Mar 25, 2011 06:28 AM
Al Skorupa
Also, KG's Cubs list came out in December while Szczur didn't actually commit to the Cubs until the end of January. He had signed a two sport deal previously, which certainly was a concern for me with regards to his prospect status.
Mar 23, 2011 12:30 PM
I know you guys hate comps, but the description of Brett Jackson reminded me an awful lot of Marlon Byrd (current version), maybe with a little more power. Is that fair?
Mar 23, 2011 10:49 AM
Another name to bring up some past heartache for the Cubs: Bobby Hill.
Mar 23, 2011 11:17 AM
Hee Seop Choi got the Cubs Derrek Lee. Bobby Hill got the cubs Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton in 2003. If that's the worst things you can bring up, well, I can live with that.

I love this series, and I love that you're writing for BP now. After listening to the podcasts, I definitely was hoping this would happen! Please keep it coming.....

If Brett Jackson develops into a solid-average major league outfielder, he will be the first one the Cubs have developed in the last half-century, unless Tyler Colvin beats him to it. Last year Colvin hit 20 HRs and posted a .279 TAv. If he manages to again hit 15+ HRs, or posts a .270+ Tav, he'll become only the second home-grown Cub outfielder to surpass one of those rather mundane thresholds in successive seasons since 1954. The only other one? Billy Williams.
Mar 23, 2011 13:25 PM
Ken , who has a better chance between Colvin & Jackson of developing into a useful, everyday OF? I know Colvin has his detractors but his power is for real. Jackson , on the other hand, seems more well-rounded with much better plate discipline.

Pretty bold talk of McNutt.

Can anyone blame Cubs fans for being miserable when there hasn't been an article written, or video segment produced, about the team in nearly a decade that didn't mention Steve Bartman or goats?

New York (Jun. 28)
The state Commission of Judicial Conduct has ordered a 68-year-upstate judge removed from the bench after a lengthy inquiry into a letter he wrote to a motorist he addressed as "Kikie."
Judge Morgan Bloodgood of Malta, in Sarasota County, has 30 days to appeal the ruling and presumably will continue serving in his $21,000 a year part-time position pending the outcome of the appeal according to a report by Gerald Stern, commission administrator, in a telephone interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Stern declared, after the commission's investigation, that the Judge's behavior was "shocking."
Judge Bloodgood wrote a letter in April, 1979 to David Rosenblum, a Pennsylvania motorist picked up by state police for speeding. Rosenblum pleaded guilty by mail and sent a personal check for $15 dollars to Judge Bloodgood, but then stopped payment.
Judge Bloodgood said he had made good on the check himself. He said he then wrote to Rosenblum declaring he would notify officials in both New York and Pennsylvania that Rosenblum was a scofflaw. The judge added, "It is a shame that people like you make it difficult to trust anyone else."

Arizona is in line to get $661 million for K-12 schools and community-college facilities if Congress passes President Obama's jobs plan.
Arizona's share of the federal money has the potential to support 7,100 construction-related jobs, according to a White House fact sheet. The American Jobs Act bill requires the funds to be spent by Sept. 30, 2012.
"The American Jobs Act will lead to new jobs for construction workers, jobs for teachers, jobs for veterans, jobs for young people, jobs for the unemployed," Obama said during a speech Tuesday in Ohio. "It will provide tax relief for every worker and small business in America. And it will not add to the deficit. It will be paid for."
Under his plan, the Tucson Unified School District would get $56.5 million.
"We haven't had any state (building renewal) funding for the last few years, so we have a lot of things that need to be addressed," said Marcus Jones, TUSD program manager for bonds and architecture.
As the school district has prioritized its maintenance and repair issues, some secondary issues have gotten worse and others have dropped off the priority list altogether, he said.
Jones said about $20 million a year is needed to keep the district's schools in good shape.
If Congress passes the bill, Arizona's community college districts would share $116.6 million for facilities repairs and upgrades.
The colleges haven't gotten state funds for buildings in recent years, and they have had deep state budget cuts.
"This would be welcome relief," said Michael Kearns, president of the Arizona Community College Presidents Council and president of Mohave Community College in Kingman.
The annual deferred maintenance needs at Pima Community College in Tucson for equipment and facilities are around $8 million, said college spokesman C.J. Karamargin. The college has delayed replacing computers and repairing roofing, parking lots, sidewalks, flooring and ceiling tiles, he said. PCC also postponed a planned new classroom building at its East Campus.
Estimated deferred maintenance needs at Cochise College campuses in Douglas, Sierra Vista and Benson add up to $16.5 million.
Kearns said community-college leaders are cautiously optimistic about the passage of the president's job plan.

Kyle Farmer chose to return for his senior season based on little more than a gut feeling.
So when an invitation to play for Team USA arrived days after his decision to stay in school, it seemed like a confirmation that he had done the right thing.
"I was shocked. That's been my dream since I was a little kid," Farmer said. "During that whole draft process, I was thinking that everything happens for a reason. I was kind of searching for something to back me up. That whole Team USA thing backed me up. Everything does happen for a reason."
Georgia starts its 2013 season today when it begins a three-game set at Georgia Southern. Game 1 starts at 6 p.m. at J.I. Clements Stadium in Statesboro. Game 2 is at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Game 3 is at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Georgia's first home game is on Wednesday against Kennesaw State. Farmer will be the starting shortstop for the fourth consecutive season after turning down a chance to go to the professionals last summer.
"When Kyle decided to come back, that's when this team's fate changed," Georgia coach David Perno said. "We knew we had a rock in the middle of the field and we were going to be able to fill around him again.
"That was a huge day for us, draft day, when he decided to come back. I think we're going to have a special year."
Despite all of Farmer's personal accomplishments at Georgia, the team has gone through massive emotional dips, and many of those had nothing to do with baseball. Farmer has seen two teammates, his roommate, Chance Veazey, and Johnathan Taylor suffer paralyzing injuries. Georgia used a miracle finish in the 2011 Southeastern Conference Tournament to make the NCAA Regionals. But last year, Georgia faded in the last week of the regular season and missed regionals for the second time in Farmer's career.
"That was one of the reasons I came back," Farmer said. "I'm the type of person who wants to leave something in return for everything somebody's given to me. I want to leave something to the University like the University's given to me. I've got life-long friends. I've got great teammates. But I feel like there's something more in the tank that this team can bring to the University and can bring to the program. I wanted to come back because I don't like leaving on a bad note. I've grown so close to Chance and J.T. (Taylor) and seeing what they've had to go through, I want to be with them when they graduate and have one more year with them. Baseball will come and go, but your friends will last forever."
Farmer has a .313 batting average with 15 home runs and 124 RBIs in his career. He led the Bulldogs with 41 RBIs and 71 hits last season. As a freshman, he set Georgia's fielding record for a shortstop at .962 with just six errors despite playing with a hamate bone injury most of the season.
"If we would have got to a regional last year, he probably would have moved on," Perno said. "But we didn't, and he knows there's some unfinished business and he's come back to make sure it happens. That stint with USA Baseball was just icing on the cake for him. He made a tough call and a tough decision because he didn't know about that until afterward. That was perfect. It just reiterated that he did the right thing. To have the opportunity to do the USA Baseball thing was probably an experience he's never going to forget."
Farmer has been an All-Southeastern Conference selection the last two seasons and was projected to go in the first 10 rounds of the 2012 Major League draft. But just before the draft, he let the clubs know that he planned to return to Georgia. On the same night, the New York Yankees took a chance and drafted him in the 35th round. Farmer announced that he would come back.
"I was sitting in my dad's office and my adviser called and said that the (Cincinnati) Reds were thinking about taking me in the seventh round," Farmer said. "I was stuck. I didn't know what to do. I looked at my dad (former Ole Miss pitcher Bryan Farmer) because this was a life-changing moment. Do you come back to school or do you start a real job? I went with my gut feeling and my gut feeling was to come back to the University of Georgia."
Farmer did not know it at the time, but an invitation to play for USA Baseball on a history-making tour of Cuba and The Netherlands was on the way. Farmer won the starting shortstop's job as a team representing the United States playing in Cuba for the first time in a generation. At 22, he was also the oldest member of the squad and his teammates dubbed him "Grandpops." One of Farmer's teammates was former Oconee County player Adam Frazier, who is now at Mississippi State. The college-age Team USA also played wooden bats, which was a departure from the composite materials in NCAA-sanctioned bats and against teams primarily staffed with professionals.
"USA hadn't played there in 16 years," Farmer said. "Playing in Cuba was probably the most interesting thing I've ever done. We walked into the stadium that first night and it was an all-blue stadium and it was packed. Everybody was there to watch us hit batting practice. It was like a soccer game. Everybody was yelling and chanting and blowing air horns. It was crazy. It was so packed and the Cubans really know baseball. They liked to get involved in the game. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my summer."
Team USA's college-age team played Cuba's senior national team that, the bulk of which would play in the world championships. Farmer made an instant impression of the Cubans with a highlight reel defensive play on the first at-bat.
"I get the first ground ball and the infield was a very hard clay," Farmer said. "It was a one-hopper over the pitcher. I came up and made, I want to say it was a top-10 play. The whole stadium got quiet. They'd never seen a bunch of college kids, 18-to-21 years old, come in and do something like that. They started calling me 'Cubano Blanco,' the white Cuban, because of my defensive skills. It was pretty cool."
Cuba won three of the five games in the series against the Americans. Then Team USA traveled to The Netherlands for an international tournament where they finished third against teams made mainly of professionals. Farmer and his teammates entertained the Dutch crowd during a rain delay by pretending they were hunters.
"Baseball in The Netherlands was like a party, it was crazy," Farmer said. "They sold alcohol at the stadium and people were drinking at 10 o'clock in the morning. They had all these songs that they'd dance to. There was this rain delay, so we all went to the outfield and acted like we were hunting each other with our bats as rifles. One guy would go down and then everybody would cheer and they'd start a dance. It really brought out the fun in baseball when you get involved with the fans like that."
Farmer batted .250 and had eight RBIs as Team USA went 12-5 in the tour. Farmer returned home with a new perspective on baseball that he said he hopes to bring to Georgia this season.
"I watched every single team out there, and every one of them looked like they were all having fun," Farmer said. "No matter what they were doing, they were having a great time and they were happy to be out there. That's what I learned the most, and that's what I want to take into the season — to go out there and have fun. You're going to get out. But there's nothing better than being on a baseball field."

I was able to edit page content in Sitefinity for the past 2-3 months with no problem. We are sing the standard edition, and didn't purchase the licence yet. Since yesterday., I am not able to edit the page contents (i.e, add controls to the page or edit the static content). However, I am still able to add pages and upload user controls. Also, my colleagues at work is able to o do all editing with no problem (we are using the same SQL 2005 back end). Any advice of what could be my issue?
Thanks Ivan for the reply.
I don't get any errors. The content of the page is greyed out in "Edit mode", and I am not able to drag and drop any control, or even get the edit tab when mouse hover over the page content.

No matter our age, we're never too young or old to learn from other cultures. Ten teens from St. Joseph parish in Milford, Iowa, discovered this lesson when they took a service trip to the Lakota Reservation in Rosebud, South Dakota. The annual mission trip was founded by parishioner Teresa Goehring and led by Father Tom Flanagan.
"Our primary work [at the reservation] was to paint the inside walls of a small building that functioned as a church for the small resident community," Father Flanagan explained.
But the young people's experience at the Lakota Reservation extended far beyond physical labor. "I liked getting to know everyone on the trip better," volunteer Gabe Goehring pointed out. "I liked working with the Lakota children. Kids have a simple faith that I admire…I feel closer to God when the world is less busy."
"It is in the giving that the participants also receive," Father Flanagan confirmed, "perhaps in a new awareness of themselves as part of the larger body of Christ."
Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul. (Acts 4:32)
Jesus, may we always be generous to those in need.

A group of 70 Bochrim from the Gerer Yeshiva came to the Ohel to daven and farbreng with the Rebbe's Mazkir Rabbi Leibel Groner.
Rabbi Groner spoke for two hours about the Rebbe's Sichos on Peisach-Sheiney, and the special connection between the Rebbes of Chabad and Ger.
The Rosh Yeshiva requested of Rabbi Groner that the Bochurim could ask questions in writing.
Two of the Talmidim introduced themselves as being the grandson and great grandson of the Rosh Yeshiva of 770, Harav Hagoen Reb Yisroel Piekarsky OBM.

The RCGP has identified cancer as an 'enduring priority'. It aims to develop and implement a cancer strategy for primary care. The College is now working with Cancer Research UK and other partners in promoting models of best practice and pathways of care and will develop learning and educational resources. Please find below a range of cancer resources.
The College has published an e-Cigarette position statement in partnership with Cancer Research UK.
The RCGP has produced three cancer toolkits in partnership with Cancer Research UK, Macmillan, NHS England and HeadSmart. The following toolkits provide intuitive collections of resources for specific areas relating to cancer within primary care.
RCGP and Cancer Research UK hold annual training event for GP Cancer leads. The focus of these is to explore approaches for developing effective communication with local GP colleagues in relation to early diagnosis and management of cancer patients, how to translate data into meaningful messages, how to work with colleagues in the secondary sector and the role of Cancer leads in the new NHS environment. Most people who have attended the event gave positive feedback and RCGP and CRUK are now holding a new programme of sessions across the country. Sign up here.
This audit was undertaken in 2009/10 as part of the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis Initiative. It was led by Professor Greg Rubin, with the RCGP, the National Cancer Action Team and the National Cancer Intelligence Network.
Throughout 2016, The College, in partnership with Cancer Research UK and Macmillan, is currently running an enhancement of the previous national audit to gauge how NICE guidance has affected recognition and referrals of suspected cancer. To take part in this year's audit, please register.
The report is available to download.
The report found that
The report also looked at use of investigations and found that some cancer patients, including those with brain, ovarian, pancreatic, liver and kidney cancer, were more likely to have benefitted from better primary care access to diagnostics including
Overall, rapid access to investigations would have altered the GP's management of the patient in six per cent of cases.
The Cancer Education Hub includes a range of e-learning courses and other resources covering issues concerning: screening, early diagnosis and management in primary care. New courses and resources are being added all the time.
Building on the experience gained through the RCGP/DH National Cancer Audit programme, we have developed a toolkit for practices to use as they consider ways to improve their diagnosis of cancer in primary care.
The RCGP, in partnership with the National Cancer Action Team and Macmillan Cancer Support, ran up one year pilot which offered external paper assessment of SEAs of cancer diagnosis. A total of 95 SEAs were assessed. Important recommendations have been made following the pilot.

Diabetes mellitus is a complex, multifactorial disease that is often associated with progressive retinopathy and visual loss. In Diabetes and Ocular Disease: Past, Present, and Future Therapies, 2nd edition, edited by Ingrid U. Scott, MD, MPH, Harry W. Flynn, Jr., MD, Dr. William E. Smiddy, MD, readers have a practical reference for the diagnosis and management of ocular disease in diabetic patients. In the excerpt below, from the opening essay by Robert E. Leonard II, MD, and David W. Parke II, MD, we learn about the consequences of diabetes.
Treatment of complications due to diabetes is a growing source of health care expenditures. While ophthalmologists focus on the retinal and ophthalmic complications of diabetes and their treatment costs, it is important to note that these represent only a fraction of the overall costs of uncontrolled diabetes. Chronic complications of diabetes include accelerated atherosclerosis and its associated macrovascular disease processes of CHD, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. These are responsible for the majority of diabetes-associated morbidity and mortality. Peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, renal impairment and failure, and diabetic retinopathy are associated with the microvascular complications of diabetes. As an example, Haffner and colleagues compared the 7-year incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects with and without prior CHD. Their data suggest that diabetic patients without a previous MI have a higher risk of MI than nondiabetic patients who have had a previous history of MI. Persons with diabetes have a nearly seven-fold increase in heart disease compared to nondiabetic patients. CHD is the number one cause of death in the developed world, and accounts for over 500,000 deaths per year in the United States alone. It is clear that the emerging diabetic epidemic facing the developing nations of the world will significantly change rates of CHD and associated mortality in coming years.
In the United States alone, the cost of treating uncomplicated diabetes is over 6 billion dollars per year. Acute complications of diabetes, such as emergent hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, raise that cost significantly. The chronic complications of diabetes, as mentioned above, totaled over 44.1 billion dollars in 1997. That represented 10,071 dollars per each diabetic patient in the United States. The total cost related to diabetic complications in the United States is estimated to be at least 100 billion dollars per year…
Numerous studies have shown that the key to decreasing diabetic complications lies with strict glucose control. The Diabetic Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) has shown the benefits of intensive blood glucose control in patients with type 1 diabetes. Intensive glucose control reduced the risk of developing retinopathy by 54%. Neuropathy was reduced 60% and albuminuria by 54%, respectively. With regards to type 2 diabetes mellitus, the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) was a randomized clinical trial involving 3867 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes. After 3 months of diet treatment alone, patients with a mean of two fasting plasma glucose concentrations of 6.1 to 15.0 mmol/L were randomly assigned to either an intensive glycemic control group or a conventional control group. This study showed a 21% reduction in risk for progression of diabetic retinopathy over a 12-year period in the intensive group. In addition, there was a 29% reduction in the need for retinal photocoagulation in the intensive group compared to the conventional group. Overall, there was a 37% reduction in the risk of an adverse microvascular complication with intensive control that was less strict than current guidelines. The UKPDS study also demonstrated that glycemic control appears to diminish with time. Clearly, the best indicator of glycemic control continues to be hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1c). Skyler and associates have demonstrated that HgbA1C levels correlate in a direct relationship with the relative risk of diabetic microvascular complications. Strict glucose control weight control and exercise, remain the essential elements to prevent the complications of diabetic disease.

Off-Road Wheelchair
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Science, Transportation
Travis Watkins got together with other students and the University of So. Florida to build a wheelchair for his father who has Lou Gehrig's Disease. He wanted the OFF-Road to roam on uneven surfaces such as grass, dirt, or sand. The University was so impressed that they will be offering the chair through their Rehab Ideas spin off company. We expect even with the $4,495.00 price tag, they will still have plenty of takers.

Baby Jesus Receives GPS
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: GPS, Internet
A baby Jesus statue was taken from a nativity scene in Bal Harbour's Founders Circle, Florida, although it was bolted down at the time. Cincinnati attorney Jeffrey Harris read about the crime online and generously replaced it with a new one. Dina Cellini, the overseer of the display, has equipped the new figure and its ceramic parents with GPS devices to avoid the same event happening again. We are thinking that this might be an excellent strategy for protecting our lawn gnomes, too.

Scientists Explore Underwater Turbine Usage
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science
Rick Driscoll, the director of Florida Atlantic University's CEOET (Center of Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology) and crew are developing underwater turbines that will create power from the Gulf Stream. They would be moored 1,000 ft. below the surface and should be capable of going through 8 billion gallons per minute. That's enough energy to power up one third of the state of Florida. The team will be testing a prototype early next year. We wonder if, when this becomes feasible on a large scale, someone will find a way to harness it in, let's say, a jacuzzi. We suspect the power companies would not be thrilled.

Autumn trademarks in San Diego — dense fog and Chinese flame trees
November is our real fall
8:30 a.m., Sept. 24
The San Diego Archaeological Center announces Early Ancestor Day.
Learn about our early ancestors by touching and examining real hominin tools, some dating back 900,000 years, and by watching how these tools were created during a stone tool making demonstration.
Dr. Shawn Carlson, MacArthur Fellow and Founder of LabRats Science Education Program, will lead children and adults through the primordial mist to a time when Neanderthals hunted mammoths and the first Homo Sapiens migrated out of Africa.
Participants will see one of the most extensive collections of authentic Neanderthal and Cro Magnon tools in North America. Anywhere else you would have to look at these through glass, but Dr. Shawn will let you pick up and hold the tools that our ancient ancestors created with their own hands! These original early ancestor artifacts have not been shown anywhere else in San Diego.
After families get the opportunity to investigate Dr. Shawn's early ancestor stone tools, they will get to watch a stone tool making demonstration by Victor Herrera, an experienced flintknapper and archaeologist. He will show everyone how these early stone tools were created by making them himself. This is the closest you can get to a direct experience between us and our prehistoric ancestors.
Questions are strongly encouraged. This is a unique opportunity to teach children about our human evolution in an extraordinary way.
Info: [email protected] or 760-291-0370.
The Mission of The San Diego Archaeological Center is to preserve archaeological collections and promote their educational, scientific, and cultural use to benefit a diverse public.

Montana Bulk Transmission Cultural Resource Assessment(11-MT)
Typically, early consultation and close coordination with the Montana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is necessary to prevent the inadvertent disruption of a historical site.
If heritage property or paleontological remains (hereafter "cultural resources") are discovered on the project site, developers must comply with Montana state law. The discovery of cultural resources may require obtaining a permit and providing public notice and notice to Indian Tribes. Heritage property and paleontological remains are defined in Section 22-3-421 MCA. If the developer discovers cultural resources on any lands owned by the state, the developer must promptly report the presence of cultural resources to the SHPO and the Montana Department of Natural Resources & Conservation (MDNRC) and take all reasonable steps to ensure preservation of the cultural resources. [1] Upon a cultural resource discovery, the MDNRC will consult with the SHPO and determine whether it is necessary to prepare an antiquities inventory for the project area. After preparing an antiquities inventory (if required), the MDNRC considers the potential project effects and may require mitigation measures or excavation in order for the project to continue.

Stereo LADSPA EQ plugin?
Tue, 2007-07-24 15:27
I'm currently doing the mix on some tracks by my band and I need some slight EQ on the drum and guitar submixes. However, I cannot find a stereo EQ; they are all one in / one out. I have all available LADSPA plugin packages for my distro (UbuntuStudio) installed.
Does anyone knows a good two in / two out EQ plugin? Preferably in an Ubuntu or at least .deb package.
Tue, 2007-07-24 18:39#1
You can use any mono EQ. Ardour creates similar instances of the plugin for both channels automatically.
Wed, 2007-07-25 11:28#2
It does? I'd swear it mono'ed a stereo bus when I tried it... I'll check again later this night. Maybe I did something wrong, or misinterpreted the output.

Nick Young scored a career-high 43 points, and Kirk Hinrich had 6 in overtime as the Washington Wizards survived a last-minute regulation meltdown to beat the Sacramento Kings at home, 136-133, last night.
The Wizards blew a 6-point lead in the final 14 seconds of the fourth quarter — and nearly blew a 5-point lead in the final half-minute of overtime — and finished the game without injured starters John Wall and Andray Blatche.
Young went 14 for 22 from the field, including 7 for 10 from 3-point range. Six Washington players scored in double figures in the team's highest-scoring output of the season, with Blatche tallying 16 points and 13 rebounds and Wall finishing with 22 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.
Beno Udrih and Francisco Garcia scored 26 points apiece — a season high for Garcia — and Carl Landry had a season-high 23 for the Kings, who have lost 11 straight on the road.
Spurs 107, Timberwolves 96 — Manu Ginobili had 19 points, including five technical free throws in a 10-second span of the third quarter, as San Antonio beat host Minnesota.
Richard Jefferson scored 17 and Tony Parker had 12 points and 13 assists for the Spurs, who beat the Timberwolves for the 16th straight time.
Kevin Love had 20 points and 20 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who have lost five in a row and came unglued during referee Ken Mauer's five-technical binge in the third. Michael Beasley had just 7 points on 3-for-11 shooting while playing on a sprained left ankle, and left late in the fourth quarter after aggravating the injury.
Nuggets 132, Suns 98 — Arron Afflalo scored a career-high 31 points and Carmelo Anthony followed up one of his worst shooting performances with a 28-point effort, helping host Denver beat Phoenix to snap a three-game skid.
Anthony, the subject of trade talks all season, was greeted early by the crowd with a smattering of boos but quickly reversed the mood with his hustle and hanging jumpers. He also grabbed 10 rebounds.
That was a sharp contrast to Sunday night, when Anthony scored just 8 points and drew jeers like he'd never heard before at
Pacers 107, 76ers 98 — Danny Granger scored 27 points, Darren Collison added 21 points and 13 assists, and Indiana snapped a nine-game road losing streak.
Indiana hadn't won a road game since a 107-98 victory at Sacramento on Nov. 30.
The Pacers had dropped three straight and 10 of 13. Jrue Holiday led the Sixers with 19 points.
Last night's Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks game was postponed because of a winter storm. It was rescheduled for March 15 at Philips Arena.

Notes: Holtz counts 7 drops among USF mistakes
PHILADELPHIA -- There were issues all over the field in USF's 37-28 loss to Temple on Saturday, but coach Skip Holtz was especially disappointed by consistent problems from receivers catching passes, stifling an offense struggling to move the ball early in the game.
"The glaring, glaring things today offensively were the inconsistency in catching the ball at the wide receiver position," Holtz said. "It made it very hard to get any consistency or anything moving. It seemed like as soon as you start to get some momentum rolling, you drop a couple passes, and then it was 'Punt.'"
USF's drops were worst on the Bulls' final drive of the first half, leading Temple 7-6 and trying to add to that lead. USF had three clear drops in a span of six plays -- by Evan Landi, Andre Davis and Terrence Mitchell, arguably three of the Bulls' best targets. Mitchell dropped another pass on USF's potential go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, setting up a fourth down for the Bulls. Quarterback B.J. Daniels went 18-for-31 passing Saturday, and Holtz said half of his incompletions could be credited to his receivers.
"I don't know how many drops (Daniels) had, but I bet he had seven," Holtz said. "We're not talking about hard catches. We're talking about balls that were hitting people in the sternum."
RECORD TIED: When B.J. Daniels scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, it was the 24th of his USF career, matching Andre Hall (2004-05) for the most in Bulls history.
Daniels' second-quarter fumble came on a play in which his helmet was ripped off his head -- no facemask call was made -- and Daniels said he didn't know what happened on the play.
"One thing I didn't understand was it happened on the right hash, and my helmet ended up on the left hash," Daniels said. "I couldn't explain that at all."
FIRST START: Defensive end Julius Forte, a Boca Ciega graduate, made his first career start, moving ahead of Armwood's Ryne Giddins. USF didn't get much pressure on Temple QB Chris Coyer, with the defensive line totaling 1.5 tackles for loss. Forte finished with one tackle, while Giddins had two; the other starting end, Tevin Mims, had the Bulls' only sack.
LAST ONE: Wisconsin got an interception against Illinois on Saturday, leaving USF as the only team in I-A football without an interception this season. The Bulls have zero defensive takeaways in their four-game losing streak.
"I certainly don't want to blame it on luck," Holtz said. "I'm one of those believers who believe if you pressure the quarterback and force him to put the ball up under pressure, you're going to get some opportunities to go get some balls in the air. We have not created turnovers, and that has definitely been a downfall in what we've been doing defensively."
THIS AND THAT: Walk-on receiver David Aristil, a first-year football player who was an All-American hurdler in track, made his Bulls debut on the kickoff coverage unit. ... Punter Justin Brockhaus-Kann had a strong game, with an average of 43 yards and a long of 60, with only 14 yards in punt returns. ... Temple had two kicks go off the uprights, missing the extra point on its first touchdown, then a 22-yard field goal. USF's Maikon Bonani missed a 50-yarder that would have been a career long. ... USF's only Big East win in the last 11 games was at Syracuse, so the Bulls' last outdoor conference win came in November 2010 at Louisville, where the Bulls return to play in two weeks.

But I really do think it is problematic when the Church appears to compromise fundamental principles in the name of 'ecumenism'. Today's news includes two stories that should send shivers down every orthodox Catholic's spine:
Islamic school to host pilgrims
First it seems some 300 pilgrims will be 'hosted' by the Malek Fahd Islamic School, a co-educational primary and high school in Greenacre.
'Scripture only' Stations of the Cross
Give me a break.
World Youth Day is supposed to be about teaching and showcasing the Catholic faith. A faith that honours both Scripture and Tradition.
This is not a good sign of what is to come.
