Banjo's Info...
Breed: | Pug | Color: | Tan/Yellow/Fawn | Age: | Adult |
Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Male |
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
I remind my foster mom of a miniature silver back gorilla. I have had seizures in the past and I am stable on two medicines. I have not had a seizure for over ten months.
I am a mellow dude except for meal times. I want my meal as fast as you can feed it to me. I get along with all five other pugs at my foster family's house. I love children. I sometimes play with a stuffing free animal.
My foster mom laughs when I do my pug Pilates. I lie on my back and I reach my back feet to my mouth. What a workout for the abs! Do you have room in your home for me? If so please fill out an application to adopt me.
Complete an adoption application here. My adoption fee is $250. If you love me but can't adopt me, please send a donation to help pay medical bills for not just me but my fellow foster brothers and sisters. They sure could use it!

We promise, we will get back to you via e-mail, on the phone, or via mail and let you know the status of your application, if you are or are not a candidate for adoption of a rescue pug, and the next step(s) in the process, if applicable.
You can expect the process to take up to 2 weeks (sometimes longer) from receipt of application to the adoption of your dog, depending on the availability of pugs and whether or not a pug you are interested in is ready to be adopted (if on medical hold).
Available Pugs: You will find our available pugs by clicking here. All pugs, whether on medical hold or not, are available for adoption. This section of the site is a guide to help you in finding your perfect match. Please take the time to read each dogs profile, as this is the best way to know which particular pug is best for your home. If you do not see a match at the time being, please fill out an application, as we constantly get dogs in and may match exactly what you are looking for.
Pug Puppies: Yes, puppies are cute and adorable. However, we rarely have surrendered puppies. If a puppy does become available, all applications will be reviewed and the puppy will go to the home PROoF feels is best to take on such a handful. Thank you for understanding.
Completing an Adoption Application: All adoption applications are subject to acceptance based on a review process that may require collecting information from references and visiting the applicant's home. All decisions on placing dogs in adoptive and foster homes are based solely on the judgment of the volunteers and coordinators of PROoF.

Money Laundering Explained
On October 18, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) reported detaining employees of Cartu Bank, who were carrying a large amount of cash (according to the reports, EUR 1 million and USD 2 million were seized) and were suspected of engaging in grand money laundering.
Obscure Lease of Mushtaidi Park
Georgian media reported in June that the Tbilisi Mayor's Office had handed over the Mushtaidi Park to a private company with a long-term lease. A representative of the Property Management Agency of the Mayor's Office (which was cited as the source of the information) stated that the Geo Gold company had acquired the park's management rights for the next 49 years and would invest GEL 1 million in the park over the next five years. The same official said that the Mayor's Office was planning to employ this kind of management model for the city's other parks.
New approach to Charity in Adjara
By the decision of Adjara's authorities numerous homeless people, including the elderly, single mothers, and ill people were forced to leave the only charity house in the region.The Batumi Charity House had been managed by the charitable fund of St. Francesca and St. Nino since 1995, when it was granted to the fund by a decree of the ruler of Adjara at the time. In 2006 the new government of Adjara refused to recognize the validity of the 1995 decree and forced its residents to leave, after which the new owners (whose identity is unknown) demolished the building.
Coerced into cheering Nicolas Sarkozy
What would you do if you wanted to see or cheer for a prominent political leader, like Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president? If that leader is giving a public speech, you would simply go there, right? But what if you were ordered by your superior to attend that event? Despite your interest in seeing the speech, you might refuse to go there or if you did go, you might have lost your original enthusiasm.
Six Questions: Georgia shouldn't rest on its laurels
A recent report from the Centre for Law and Democracy and other international organizations called "Ask Your Government! The 6 Question Campaign" ranks Georgia second in the world for support of the right to information in practice. In fact, despite Georgia's high rank, there is substantial room for improvement in the government's responses to Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. Because researchers from TI Georgia contributed to the report, we want to provide some context for the information it contains, and some clarification regarding the reporting of the research results in the Georgian media.

I dont know what to think of this one. the UI is a mess , its all over the screen the animation and tracking are off , and i had no problem fighting a lvl 28 monster with a lvl 11 toon geared in nubbie starter gear. But even with all this there was something fun about it . what it was i dont know . I couldnt help but notice when i finshed my chain of lvl 10 quests , i was lvl 25 . that in its self was a bit odd . i prob will log back in to play atleast 1 more time , just to try to pin point the fun aspect  |
This is a great little game actually. 1-25 is very easy, 25-30 is kinda easy . Once you hit 30-40 you'll find yourself screaming at the screen , because it takes 15 hits to kill a monster . But, once you hit 40 and make you're 2nd class change + you get you're new class weapon, the game changes 100% . You will find that most normal mobs in the game do like -1 damage to you, but this isn't the case in Instances , 46, 61 and 71 Instances you'll need a party, or you'll find yourself eating dirt fast. I've been max level, max crafting for awhile now, and I still find myself logging in everyday , lol. If you're gonna try this game out, give it to level 46 at least . |
As being part of Luv through the Open Beta, i think I pretty much qualify as a long time Player. So I can say pretty much, what the Game Strong and Weak Points are.. only Problem all in all: The Game is dying. Many older Player are leaving the Game for good, I myself dont check in regular anymore. Sooo, before I list if this Game is for you, you might want to think about, if its worth trying a sinking Ship that probably wont have a Comeback, or not? Jump in the Water, you decide. So, let's get more into the Game. Duly noticed, the Game is "easy". And I mean really easy. First Levels fly by, you level up really fast, and only between 35-50 you have a bit of a challenge, because its not worth making Gear in that Level Range and you might not be lucky to farm some from the Mobs. After 50 and getting your Stardust Gear (yeah, its pretty much a given to get it), it again gets easy. You can even skip Lvl. 60 Gear. and Lvl. 80 Gear is also later only needed for PVP, which is on the other Hand starting to lose sense to, because the Players in the High Levels are starting to leave the Game. Also, Lvl Cap is 83. If you play every Day, have a good Guild, are really into the Game.. its a breeze. The only Reason Players took the Time and didnt Level was the Gear and the fear of outgrowing it to fast. Around Lvl 1, you decide what Jobs to take, from where on out you can go in different direction. Rogue, Mage and Warrior can change Jobs on Lvl 40 and again from these Subclasses on Lvl 80 to the final Classes.... Job Changing is also a breeze, dont worry. If you have any Problems, the Game will make it after the second or third try easier. And thats one of the biggest Problem of the Game. Its so unbalanced. You have a lot to do. Bountys and Dailys, and Mini-Games, but they feel so soon like a Core and that sucks the Fun out of it. Because you really need to do every little thing. Nothing seems like you can skip it for a Day. Also on one Hand, the Mobs arent challenging, you can kill as a Lvl 60 probably Lvl 80 Mobs and dont get a bloody nose. Instances can be challenge, but in a good Group they are good manageable. Which wouldnt be a Problem, but if the Group all gets the Final Gear of their Lvl.. Instances are again far to easy to soon. Also the Drop Rate in later Levels is now so unbalanced, to create Fake Challenge, that it sucks another Layer outta the Game. Also, the Game has lots of Events, but mostly they are made in such an Time-Rate, that if you are in an Time-Zone that is like the one in European, you wont have much fun. The biggest thing you have to fight in the Game.. what, PVP? Oh no, we dont even come to PVP yet. Its the Game itself. Its so terrible Unstable. From Beta to now, it was never really stable. But its getting to a Point where it is beyond annoying. Specially after an Maintance, loveable named: Destroy-Tance. One Day after each one of them, the Game is nearly unplayable and one has to wait till they fix it again. Oh yes, and dont think that Maintance take as long as they say. 3 Hours can be 8 Hours, Time is relative, you know? PVP is a strange little Beast in this Game. Now we finally have on some lower Level Maps protection, on the other Hand than Lower Levels cant test the Water around each other. You can basically PVP in unprotected Maps anyone who you want and it doesnt matter much, accept if you PVP your own Faction. Attack an Lower Level? Who cares. No Punishment. Losing Equipment and Stuff from your Bag is another Part of PVP, a nice Bonus you can say. Like always, PVP is more made for whose who have CS Allowance. Which wouldnt be so bad if normal Players who just wander the Map get into it (though of course High Geared Players dont have to win.. I won an PVP Match against someone who was higher geared than myself too.. Was a nice Revenge~) Cash Shop Items are.. strange. Some are usefull, others only to look into, the Prices are.. well, very Pricey. Most things you might need you can buy from Gold from other Players, so that is nice at least. In the End, what comes to the Game is.. that it gets boring. The new Content was very scarce, Outspark let many thinks out for there CashShop, which wouldnt be to bad, if they maybe changed it and brought it in another way. Translation are still a bit off, some new Skills are still Bugged (I still can't get one of my new Sage-Skills and I dont know why) and all seems so unfinished. New Jobs are also right now in a strange Balance where no one knows what comes, because the new Cap was so stupid set. All in all. The Game feels right now raw. Its easy, its boring. It has unfair Drop Rates on Higher Levels. The Players are jumping off, its unstable like Hell.. What kept myself so long was the Guild I was in. Friendly Peole who liked the Game, saw what it could have offered to us.. Because the Game has so many Things in it that could make it really shine. So many Ideas and Angles, so many things you could do.. This Game could easily shine, it really could.. instead its dying and broken with burned out Players. Luvinia is a fun little Game. It has Charme and Ideas, it has an pretty good Community which had a lot of Drama in it, but most of the World-Chat Drama-Players are.. well, you know by now, they left. If you think new Blood might help the Game, and wanna try out an not Bad-MMO which is not to hard, well, choin us. Who knows, maybe the Game will have an Comeback^^ I certainly hope so, because Luv still has a Place in my Heart. An small (and slightly bitter) Review of the Game. Lvl 83 Sage, fading out. |
thanks for the review, i will definetly download and check out this game now. like 80% of what you said is true to Eden Eternal game drops after patch/maint . just maxed at 60 and dont feel like playing anymore. all my guildmates just run solo bard/engineer dungeons for gold to buy new costumes lol. i learned when to move on when nothing left to do haha, it was a really fun 3 months though. |

The National Safety Council (NSC) congratulates AAOHN on its 70th anniversary. As the largest group of health care professionals serving the workplace, NSC greatly appreciates all the work of AAOHN to protect worker health and well-being.
Workplace safety is one of the key initiatives of NSC, as it has been since we were established nearly 100 years ago. Incredible strides have been made in workplace safety throughout the last century. Within the past two decades alone, workplace fatality rates have decreased by 35%.
When it comes to occupational safety, NSC believes organizations of every size are on a continuous Journey to Safety Excellence. NSC supports our partner safety and health professionals in our joint efforts to help save more lives and prevent more injuries.
Efforts such as those provided by AAOHN to educate and provide resources to occupational and environmental health nurses help organizations advance on their Journeys and make a difference. AAOHN also clearly understands that promoting safety is not only the right thing to do, but also a sound business decision for employers worldwide. Providing a safe and healthy work environment allows an organization to maximize its productivity.
As we look toward the future of safety, we believe it will be critical to continue to work with organizations such as AAOHN to help the work force bring their safety knowledge home to their families and communities, where injuries and illnesses continue to occur. Safety is a 24/7 pursuit, and we know that AAOHN understands the value of prevention on all fronts. NSC looks forward to continually improving safety through collaborative efforts with premier organizations such as yours.

We look forward to continued success and collaboration for the next 70 years.

The wraps are set to come off a thrilling successor to the famous Land Rover Defender at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show.
First images will be released next week, and sources have told us the model is a futuristic reinvention of the current car, rather than a simple facelift.
A few weeks ago, we reported on the enormous responsibility bearing down on the marque, given that the Defender has been on sale since 1947. Company boss Colin Green told Auto Express: "If we get it wrong,
we are messing up one of the industry's biggest icons."
Ditching the model altogether was one of Land Rover's options, with Green adding that the firm could "abandon that section of the market". However, it appears that bosses have opted instead to introduce a brand new car, which is expected to sit on an updated version of the heavy-duty platform that underpins the Discovery 3.
The model would feature an enhanced Terrain Response System. This advanced traction control set-up – which adjusts the engine, suspension and gearbox settings to suit different surfaces – would give the car unrivalled off-road ability.
Under the bonnet will be a range of new four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, developed in-house at Land Rover. The firm also has big plans to update the Defender's interior, introducing the latest satellite navigation and communication systems.
I'd put the Defender in the same 'Icon' category as the Jaguar E-Type. There is a behemoth of responsibility on Land Rover's heads on the replacement model. What made the defender so unique was that it was basic, but was a miracle mechanically. Land Rover's of present are fruitful with technology and laden with luxurious leather. Look what happened when Disco 3 arrived - heavier and more expensive. Yes, it sells well - but it's just a Range Rover that's taken one less steroid tablet before leaving the factory. KEEP THE DEFENDER TRUE TO IT'S ROOTS.
I'd really love to agree with Chaardy, and I do philosophically... but if you don't go forward in business you're going backwards.
It's true the Defender is an icon, but LR has been so terrified to change it for fear of messing it up for too long, and the Shoguns, Warriors, L200s, Navaras and LandCruisers of this world have encroached onto what was once its sole territory.
Something's got to happen to solve the problem of the Defender being outclassed and left behind, and change always involves risks.
I think Chaardy and every other fan of the Defender should put their faith in LR and keep their fingers crossed that an all-new, more technologically advanced, 21st century is up to the responsibility of keeping the legend alive.
The point of roots, after all, is they give provide the means for new growth...
Rather than basing it on the Defender, they would be better looking at utilising technology from or for commercial vehicles in their wider group. I note that in the days of Freight Rover, Defender bits were used to make a 4 wheel drive version of the Sherpa.
Another alternative is that its platform is the basis of a range of modular light military vehicles similar to Iveco range. The Defender becoming the entry level "Civi" versions.
The Defender has evolved over the years and is still THE best off roader in it's particular market niche. One can only hope, as chaardy does, that Colin Green and his teem are not going to pamper to the "Chelsea Tractor" section of the market, which has plenty of choice including Land Rover/Range Rover products at the moment. Keep to the faith, and keep the Defender as it's name implies: THE DEFENDER.
Unlike AE's picture, which is the current model.
I would agree that they must keep it basic, mechanically and in the looks department. durable engines is a must and of course it needs to be made of aluminium. All this sat nav stuff sounds a bit OTT but i guess it won't do it any harm. I also think to mark this occasion of the old shape they should come out with a limited edition brute defender with a supercharged V8 and set of beefy tyres, ideally its for the celebs who enjoy off roading to the max.
Er Ben Foulds, it wasn't actually called the Defender until many years after the 1947 launch! The Land Rover is the grandad of all 4x4s defined by it's classic styling and it is important that this is reflected in any re-vamp, a bit like how the Mini has retained it's original lines. Also it maybe a good idea to include a basic version in the re-launch without all the electronic bells and whistles and other non-essential gizmos - are they really needed to get from A to B or for off-roading?
They got it wrong years ago.
Save the heartache and buy an old Shogun, they're half the price, won't fall apart every time you drive it or leak fluids from everything that hold fluids.
And don't give me all the crap about LR's being the best off roaders, a Shogun will go everywhere you will ever need it to, I've done it in 20 years of off roading and I've waited on plenty of recovery trucks in Land Rover products ranging from old ones to the latest 2010 RR Sport with transmission failure!
Chaardy I think you're evaluating the Defender from the comfort of your armchair and not like Skyliner38 above had any real experience. I spent 12 years living in Africa and I can tell you that when a Defender worked it was truely fantastic but the problem was it was unreliable. One of the greatest issues with the Defender was the transmission. When your 4X4 is your only means of access to a remote mountain village that you've spent maybe four days driving to I can tell you that the Defender was left in the car park everytime. Instead it was Toyota Land Cruisers and Toyota Hiluxs (particularly the King Cab) that were prized for their reliabilty and endurance. And before anyone starts to rant I am a major fan of the Defender and like justeddie I think the evolution should be tasteful. There is a market for an alternative rugged 4X4 and the Defender has lost ground due to its reputation for reliability (unless you have the might of a miitary mechanics brigade). Using the Discovery 3 platform might be an ideal way to ensure that it recaptures the ruggedness it was once deemed to have before BL penny-pinchers ruined it.
Us Brits pioneered so many ways into the engineering world.... it annoys the hell out of me that we come up with brilliance and then stick with it despite time and technological improvements.
In terms of road vehicles, we have done it with every form of transport from buses, trucks, bikes & cars.
The market for a Defender must be a) An enthusiast or b) A commercial user.
a) Just look at how much old rusty defenders cost. Wonky doors, locks that don't work and rough engines/transmission - of course along with a cave-like interior.
b) Farmers, rugged off road users etc - both would buy new. But why buy a defender when you can buy something better - probably more reliable and economical and cheaper? Like a Diahatsu Fourtrak????
Many countries support their own manufacturers - how many French customers are there driving around in something other than French manufactured cars?
If we supported our own manufacturers they would have the £££ to put back into R&D and make the vehicles better - OR WOULD THEY? How can we put our trust in manufacturers when time has shown over again that they simply come up with brilliance and stick with it.........
The Japs/Germans are here to stay & have a strong foothold - so the choice is simple, if it's cheap buy a Brit based car & if it you REALLY need it - buy something else.
Sad :(
I've owned 14 or 15 second hand Land Rovers so I'm a typical enthusiast. What we love about them is their lack of complexity and the lego approach to construction - a panel gets broken, you bolt another one on. In the 1950's and 60's, this was a prime requirement for new buyers too, particularly in the less developed world. But those days have gone, with much of the export market mopped up by Toyota. Land Rover have to build cars for the first time buyer, and they won't care a fig whether they're made from aluminium or steel or whether they can change a half shaft in 25 minutes. The new model has to be rugged, reliable and ritzy if it is to claw back market share. I fear we will lose the icon, but LR might recover profitability.
Great to see a new model, however I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall and have always found it very difficult to get in/olut and drive all the L/R model,s dont you think it about time L/R came up with a better drivers seat lateral adjustment should I need to drive one my knees are around my ears (almost) and the window needs to be open. Great utility vehicle but does not cater for us tall one's.
Well, this is excellent news. I won't repeat some of the concerns mentioned above, they do need addressing, particularly the reliability issue.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the new 'Defender' needs to be as practical as the current model, simple to maintain and have easily replaceable body panels (ditch the expensive aluminium panels and swap to cheap composite body panels aka Smart). I'd also suggest that the new 'Defender' chassis be modular. This would keep maintenance costs down and also allow the vehicle to be tailored for various purposes utilizing different body types.
Who said "a Shogun is a good as a Defender off-road"? That's the funniest thing I've heard since Bill Clinton uttered those famous words "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"! LOL
The Defender is not the grandad of all 4x4s. American Bantam pioneered the 'General Purpose' vehicle, which in 1941 was then manufactured by Willys Overland for the US and Britain. The name was shortened to 'GP', which was pronounced by WII soldiers as "Jeep", which is what Willys eventually changed their name to.
Maurice Wilks, who was the father of Land Rover owned a Jeep and wanted to make a British version. The first Landie prototype was built on a Jeep chassis in 1947.
If Jeep can stay true to their roots of the Willys GP but still evolve with modern times and regulations, aka the Wrangler, then I am sure Land Rover can achieve the same with the Defender - as long as the accounts and management don't mess it up.
It'll be over styled.
Over the top with gimmics.
And over priced for the "look at me, looking down on you" image conscious, small brained, vertically challenged chavs.
There's nothing quite like a little objectivity, and that was nothing like a little objectivity. Your sweeping comment about 4x4 owners lifestyles is puerile at best, and offensive at worst. Incidentally, I do not own a 4x4 but have no problem with those that do.
Let's just wait and see what appears at Frankfurt shall we?
At leas defender is a real 4x4 not a toy
It is fantastic news [AE September Special Issue 1,181] that Land Rover is to keep the legendary Defender alive! It is no less than brave of the firm to create and build an entirely new machine to replace a vehicle with a pedigree spanning seven decades. And the official DC100 pictures suggest a loyalty to the iconic design by mixing tough angles and a purposeful, go anywhere stance, with 21st Century build and technology. WIth one important exception! The Land Rover Defender and all of its ancestors have had a flat nose with a 90 degree drop from the bonnet. A sloping Evoque-ess face is a bit like giving Martin Johnson a Gemma Arterton look nose job. Wrong!

The Parc del Centre del Poblenou is located in the Poblenou neighburhood of Barcelona. It
is designed by Jean Nouvel, a French designer and architect. Except from this park, he
also has designed the Torre Agbar in Barcelona also, located in Plaza Glories.
The park has an incredible area of 5,5 hectares and is a gigantic garden said to be a
sustainable area. It has been designed as a "meeting point" and "acoustic microclimate"
where these expressions are found in the lighting and shadowing of the park. It includes
three gardens. The main garden contains a forest where the end of it has a ramp of
volcanic soil. The second garden includes woodland that surrounds the building of an old
Oliva-Artés factory. Finally, the third garden includes the most prominent feature of the
three parks, a crater in the form of a spiral.

A Wild Night's Bride
by Victoria Vane
(The Devil DeVere #1)
Erotic Historical Romance
April 27th 2012 by Breathless Press
WITH THE DEVIL IN CHARGE…THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY… What happens when a struggling actress and a grieving widower come together in a night of unbridled debauchery orchestrated by a bored and machinating rake?
She's a lonely lady down on her luck…Phoebe Scott, alias Kitty Willis, is a struggling Covent Garden actress with a bruised heart and a closely guarded secret.
He's steadfast and eminently respectableSir Edward Chambers, Ned to his intimates, is guilt-ridden over his beloved wife's death and avowed to live out a rustic and mundane life … of celibacy.
With the devil in charge — there will surely be hell to pay. Devil in disguise, Viscount Ludovic DeVere, is determined to return his best friend, Ned, to the land of the living. His meddling machinations result in a night of mind blowing passion after which "dull dog Ned" awakes to find himself in the King of England's bed!
A WILD NIGHT'S BRIDE, a sexy, rollicking Georgian romp!
Sexual Content 5/5
→ Opinion | Fun, sexy, clever! Those are the three words I would use to describe this book! The plot is terrific, the adventurous romance Victoria Vane presents is fun without forgetting to be deliciously erotic and fascinating.
Phoebe, Ned, and DeVere were fantastic – I loved the chemistry between them! All characters were very interesting, including Vesta and Diana who are next in The Devil DeVere installments, and the historical references were greatly appreciated.
I was a little reluctant towards Phoebe's plans cause I didn't feel how important acting really was for her and how lightly she accepted the "easy" path. She could have pondered and considered her other options before we saw her readily taking the part as a courtesan. Maybe she wouldn't be able to go very far with her plan if it wasn't for Ned, it left me curious to know more about her thoughts anyway. But because of her, I was glad that Ned could finally be himself by the end of the book!
The story also lacked some physical description, which is imperative for erotic romances in my opinion – I like to create their image in my mind as well as knowing their actions and feelings. I understand others appreciate having the liberty to picture the main characters their own way.
I wish the experience I had with this book would never end, and it definitely left me wanting more. I was extremely happy and I believe this title fulfilled all my expectations – Victoria outdone herself, splendid well done. She knows her story and develops well-drawn characters to support her new series - starting with DeVere, a rogue that doesn't miss an opportunity to enjoy life to its fullest. He will, without a doubt, be a very versatile and charming character with no lack of opportunities to grow into one of my most beloved heroes. He intrigues me!

Have you ever wondered why most of the entries in Library and Archives Canada (LAC) Soldiers of the First World War – CEF database have attestation papers, but roughly 8% do not? I know that I have, and I've also wondering if LAC would ever get around to adding them. I knew that they existed; I had ordered complete copies of some records from LAC for soldiers with no on-line papers, and the attestation papers were included in the packet. So why weren't they on-line?
The answer comes from Arnie Kay, a former LAC employee who now does freelance record searches.
According to Arnie, some years ago the Military "vetted the CEF files and removed various non historical docs from these files. They also removed all the surplus Attestation copies and put then into large binders. You guessed it. When they did the Attestation project they used the binders and of course there were many of the CEF files that only had one copy and this is the reason why so many gaps in the Attestation data base. They have no intention of trying to resolve this oversight.
At least we now know why they are missing, and that LAC will not be attempting to fix this at any point in the future.
Note: if you are want to track down more information on any Canadian who served in the Great War, check with Arnie kay. He has very reasonable rates and a sterling reputation as a researcher.

The Public Policy Center regularly publishes the results of its applied research, event proceedings, and contract research, as well as periodic briefs and memoranda on emerging policy issues.
The Annual Public Policy Survey began in 1990. The Social Science Research Center (SSRC) at Boise State University has conducted a statewide survey of Idahoans annually to identify public policy opinions and concerns. The results of the survey are available to both policy makers and the public. The survey includes a set of "core questions" asked on a rotating basis that relate to the problems facing Idaho, perceptions of and confidence in government, opinions on taxes, and satisfaction with program and service areas. Additional questions are asked that attempt to identify or clarify contemporary issues of interest and concern to Idaho citizens.
Our podcasts highlight topical policy issues and present background, context and data from the Public Policy Center's applied research. Additional publications include targeted surveys on regional issues, conference presentations, white papers, and bi-annual State of the Region Reports.

Kinnear: Dynamo never get a handle on it in loss to LA
CARSON, Cailf – One of the keys to the Houston Dynamo's run to the MLS Cup final has been their ability to take the game to their opponent. Home or away, in minute one or 90, the Dynamo have been able to gain a grip on the pace of the game and dictate how it was played.
In Sunday's 1-0 loss to the LA Galaxy in the final, that was not the case.
"We were a little bit slow, but we were getting it forward," Houston head man Dominic Kinnear said in the postgame press conference. "We just weren't clearing our lines fast enough for me."
Consistently worried about battling a tactically precise Galaxy attack — led by a surgical midfield and opportunistic frontline — Houston found it difficult to commit to the attack.
"We had one or two good balls in the box," Kinnear said. "I did think we played a little bit better in the second half than we did in the first, but you still need to score a goal. When we got into those good areas, our delivery was off to not put them under pressure.
"In that sense, we kind of let them off the hook. You want to put good pressure on them so you kind of pin them in a little bit. It took one goal to win it, which sometimes that's what finals are all about."
The one-goal defeat is exacerbated by Houston being unable to create and capitalize on their best weapon: Set pieces, which were few and far between for the Dynamo.
"Even on the set pieces we had we were just off," Kinnear said. "It wasn't one particular person. You have a corner kick or free kick, you want to put them under pressure and I don't think we did that enough tonight."
In a postseason where they had come up with big performances and found ways to conjure crucial plays, Houston found themselves a beat slow on Sunday night and ultimately on the wrong end of the scoreline after 90 minutes.
"They created more opportunities to score than we did and they scored a very good goal," Kinnear said. "And they defended well. I think our effort was there but sometimes you don't play the way you want to play."

The son of a Standardbred owner has suffered an accident that has caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down. John Morris, the 23-year-old son of Joe Morris, fell from a balcony in California in July and is working to rebuild his life. A golf tournament is being held as a fund-raiser on Monday, Oct. 15, in Georgetown, Ky., but even if you can't participate, you can help. Joe Morris is a nephew of the late well-known Maine horseman Loring Norton and a cousin of Bruce Ranger. The Morris family has lived in the Lexington, Ky., area, and in addition to keeping a Standardbred or two in training, Joe has worked with the Standardbred industry through the NTRA Purchasing Group. This year he has been serving as a vice president and general manager at Golden Gate Fields in San Francisco, and his son John was staying at his apartment, where the accident occurred. John got the mail and walked out on the apartment's balcony to read it and instead of sitting in a nearby chair sat on the balcony railing and it gave way, dropping him 35 feet to the ground. On Tuesday (Oct. 9) the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper published an account of the accident and the resulting ordeal that was written by John's mother and Joe's wife, Deborah. Deborah Morris writes a regular column for the Herald-Leader which focuses on saving money. "As John worked on his rehabilitation, his father and I learned the nightmares of dealing with insurance companies," Deborah wrote. "Our insurance wouldn't even pay for the bench John needs to take a shower. The horse industry, which my husband has been involved in since learning the business from his uncle Loring Norton…has banded together to help our son."
If you wish to play in the golf tournament, it will be held Monday, Oct. 15, at Canewood Golf Course in Georgetown, KY. Contact Heather Brown at the NTRA office in Lexington to sign up for the $100 per person event. Her number is 859-422-1201.
Contributions may be made by mail to: "John Joseph Morris 2012 Trust," c/o Chase Bank, 1785 Alexandria Dr., Lexington, KY 40504. For additional information call Evan Ezell at Chase Bank at 859.231.2554. |

Our vision is that clean water can change the lives of people and whole communities. The three primary kinds of projects being done are: 1) New boreholes and hand dug wells, 2) Mechanized Water Systems, and 3) Repaired Wells. We prioritized where this work was done based on the highest incidence of disease. The primary disease was Guinea Worm Disease until it was eradicated in Ghana in 2011. In 2012 and beyond, the priority disease will be Buruli Ulcer in Ghana. We are also planning a humanitarian grant for 2012-2013 in South Sudan to drill boreholes and repair wells there so that we can work with the Carter Center to eradicate Guinea Worm from the world.
1) New Boreholes and Hand Dug Wells are the key way we provide clean water. Boreholes are usually drilled in locations where a drill rig can be used. We use two main drill rigs which impact the cost of the borehole. The smaller drill rig can get to more remote locations without getting stuck and the cost is about $5,000 to $7,000. The big, industrial drill rig will go through rock and more difficult terrain, but the cost is $10,000 to $15,000 per borehole. The hand dug wells are very important in communities where the roads don't exist to bring in the large drill rigs. The hand dug wells also are more successful in certain areas of Ghana where the bigger drill rigs are not able to go. We use the standard pumps such as Afridev and Niri so that maintenance is easier. We tried rope pumps, but they are not a good idea in large cities and mid-sized communities where the rope tends to wear out quickly.
2) Repaired Boreholes and Wells are probably the most cost effective way to provide a community with water. It can still be expensive to buy the pump parts especially for the hand dug wells. The concrete pad may need to be repaired. The handle will need parts. The pipe going down the borehole or well may be needed to be lengthened or replace where a break or cut in the pipe prevents the water from flowing.
3) Mechanized Water Systems are used in situations where the water is at a distance to a community or a school. Mechanized water systems are a lot more expensive and cost more to maintain. The mechanized water systems pump water from an existing high yield borehole to the center of a city or school. We've used electricity, solar and wind power to pump the water to the city center. We learned that electricity places a hardship on the community to pay the electrical bill each month. The solar cells are effective and yet they run the risk from theft. Wind power needs to be used where the wind studies prove that the necessary wind exists to pump the water. It also may be necessary to combine pump options so that the water flows when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow.
4) Other Water Projects include biosand filters, water purifiers, and rain catchment systems. We've implemented biosand filters in a few communities, but it is not a usual part of our projects. We've tried to find places where a water purifier can be operated successfully, but we haven't found the right place for the water purifier to be used successfully. Rain catchment is probably one of the projects that will be included more in the future. We also want to repair or build dams for reservoirs in areas where it is difficult to find water.
5) Sanitation and Hygiene will become a bigger part of our projects. Improper sanitation will destroy the quality of the water and the health of a community. Basic hygiene can also prevent disease and poverty. The lessons learned is that we don't have to built an expensive latrine to make a difference. We also don't have to build the most expensive hand washing stations to improve hygiene. We can include sanitation and hygiene if we explain how critical the need is to complement the clean water projects.
These projects show what can happen when people come together to make a difference. Someone asked Walter Hughes in 2005 how we could dig a well in Africa. We didn't have the answer at the time, but that simple question turned into these projects. We have implemented a lot of different projects. Most of these projects involve people across the USA, Canada, Switzerland and Ghana. We are coming together to get things done. These grants were started in Virginia, New Hampshire, and in Ghana. The funds are providing over 232 new and repaired wells, 4 small town water systems, 54 household latrines, and medical care over the last four years. We fought to eradicate Guinea Worm. Ghana had 4,136 GWD cases in 2006. The last case of Guinea Worm Disease was found in May 2010! Rotary is impacting lives of 246,000 people in four regions.

In 19 playoff games for that team, he scored 23 goals and added 13 assists for 36 points. Puempel was chosen in the first round, 6th overall, of the 2009 OHL Priority Selection by the Peterborough Petes.
2009-10: Puempel played in his OHL rookie season for Petes, appearing in 59 games for that team. He scored 33 goals and added 31 assists for 64 points to go along with 43 penalty minutes. In 4 playoff games for the Petes, Puempel scored 1 goal and added 1 assist for 2 points. Puempel earned several honors on the season, as he was named both OHL and CHL Rookie of the Year, as well as being named to the CHL All-Rookie Team and the OHL All-Rookie First Team. He topped OHL rookies in points and goals in the regular season. Puempel played for Team Ontario at the 2010 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, scoring 2 goals and chipping in 3 assists for 5 points in 6 games for the silver medal squad.
2010-11: In 55 games for the Peterborough Petes, Puempel scored 34 goals and added 35 assists for 69 points while also picking up 49 penalty minutes. Puempel played fo Team Cherry at the 2011 CHL Home Hardware Top Prospects Game.
2011-12: Puempel made his pro hockey debut — skating in nine games for Ottawa AHL affiliate Binghamton — following his junior hockey season with Peterborough. After a disappointing junior year which saw him play just 30 games due to a nine-game suspension and then the lingering effects of a concussion, he scored 1 goal and was plus-one with 2 penalty minutes in limited ice time with Binghamton. Puempel scored 17 goals with 16 assists and was minus-three with 31 penalty minutes for the Petes; playing his last game on January 5th. Puempel signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Ottawa in December 2011.
Talent Analysis
Puempel has high-end finishing skills and exceptional vision which complement his natural knack for scoring. His passing skills and willingness to get to the scoring areas are underrated plus he has the ability to make his line-mates better. Improved skating, strength and intensity should enable him to move up to the next level.
Puempel will spend the 2012-13 season playing for the Kitchener Rangers.

Research has shown that students who are involved in campus life are more likely to graduate from college and more likely to be satisfied with their overall college experience (Light, 2001). We certainly see this at Babson as well; and there are more than 95 clubs and organizations with which students can get involved. If a particular interest area is not covered within the current set of offerings, students will create one. Every semester, we see at least a half-dozen new clubs be founded.
It is even more important that first-year students become involved with campus life to balance out the demands of their academic life. When students arrive on campus, they need to find a niche—a place where they feel a sense of purpose and where they feel they belong. Becoming involved in or founding a campus organization, participating in student government, participating in Greek Life or volunteering for community service are all positive ways for students to quickly find their place and feel comfortable and excited about being a member of a new community.
The only caution is to be careful not to become overinvolved. The opportunities on campus are limitless, and students have four years to try out a number of leadership roles and organizations.

3 lbs away from my prom goal? woo!
i can do it! this long 5 day weekend is all about intense cardio sweat sessions and loading on the veggies.
I CAN DO THIS. (165 here i come, then it's only 5 more lbs to 160! ahh!)
went running (in the fog and mist) and got a reeeeeaaaalllly good arm workout in!
guys i'm obsessed with hydration.
people always make fun of me because on average i'll have at least 4 glasses at any given meal. i'm obsessed with water! then they laugh because i get up to pee every ten minutes, BUT:
- water=great, zit free skin.
- helps with bloating/excess sodium retention
- it allows food to digest a little easier
- it keeps me cool
- keeps that water weight off (*see retention)
moral of the story: people may laugh, but water's doing you a whole lotta good(:

Silicon Valley Nation: What's wrong with Harvard, Penn?
Brian Fuller
But it's the issue of "alumni leakage" that raises questions about the effectiveness of the startup culture at Harvard and Penn, where two thirds of entrepreneurs put down roots elsewhere.
"The 65% alumni leakage stat is ... alarming as Massachusetts is consistently a top 2 or 3 market for VC deals and funding," the authors wrote. In addition, a majority of startups emerging from nearby MIT choose to stay in the Bay State, the report noted.
"For Penn, the retention of 35% is actually quite respectable given that [Pennsylvania] is not a VC/angel investment juggernaut as it is typically ranked 6th-9th in VC funding and deals in our quarterly reports," the reports authors wrote.
The highest-profile example of that Harvard leakage is Facebook, the brainchild of Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, who quickly pulled up stakes and moved to Silicon Valley to grow his business.
In some ways, this may not matter to the universities, which often have equity stakes in many startups that slip from their ivy-covered walls. Then again, universities surrounded by a healthy community of their spawn benefit in many ways, not the least of which is a by enjoying an employment funnel for new graduates.
More importantly, however, it matters tremendously to the cities, counties and communities around the universities, where robust economic development usually hinges on small businesses exploiting new technologies.
This notion is a small but key reason the Silicon Valley is what it is today. The legendary Stanford engineering professor Fred Terman was frustrated that, in the 1930s and 1940s, most Stanford graduates were leaving California for the East Coast, where jobs in the emerging electronics industry were. His idea for the Stanford Industrial Center, an incubator (before the word was used in this way), ultimately created a place where graduates could stay and build businesses in the Santa Clara Valley.
The CB Insights study also suggests location isn't about the weather. Seventy percent of startups from NYU stay in New York State; 60 percent of MIT startups stay in Massachusetts.
How would you fix the situation at Harvard and Penn?

It is unfortunate that so much trust is put into the numbers from this report. These CB Insights numbers seem as accurate as the Startup Genome project, which is not very accurate. We have tried to contact CB Insights numerous times to understand how they got them because they simply don't make sense. We have gotten no call back unfortunately. As soon as we saw them, we did a quick back of the envelop calculation of what we knew off sub-set of MIT companies and found them to be off for MIT by at least 2.5x. This calls into great question the data. We want to promote entrepreneurship and are much less wrapped up in the ratings headlines game than we are about wanting to learn something to improve our service to out students. For this to be possible from these reports, the data has to be credible which it is not from what we can tell. It is also true that we measure output and not inputs at MIT as they are much more important so the proper measurement is economic impact (companies, jobs, revenue, etc.). This is not to say that Stanford is not wonderful - it is and we all work together to promote entrepreneurship for our students. It is a common cause that unites us. All I will say is that in this thirst for "rankings", we are unfortunately seeing a lot of unrigorous data analysis.

Bill, I can't disagree too much, but I wanted to use it as lever to raise the larger issue of nurturing regional innovation cultures.

2 Years : From May 2011 to May 2013
DuPont (DD), Suntech Power Holdings Co. (STP) and six other companies have formed a lobby to promote solar power worldwide and to combat complaints of low-cost solar panels being dumped on European and U.S. markets, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.
The other companies include Siemens AG (SIE.XE), Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT), Dow Corning, Phoenix Solar AG (PS4.XE) and Lanco Infratech Ltd. (532778.BY), according to the report.
A complaint from SolarWorld AG against Chinese solar-panel firms led to tariffs on panels, which could lead to increasing costs for consumers, according to Bloomberg.
