In her RedRoom Blog posting on September 15, 2008http://www.redroom.com/blog/susan-browne/missive-crescent-city#comment-10908Susan Browne wrote "Elk Crossing sign! Are they kidding? But I slowed down. And then I saw an elk. What a grand creature, pacing elegantly across the lawn of someone's house!I'm fourth generation Californian, but I fell in love all over again, even deeper and harder, on this drive."
Ah, yes...falling in love with California all over again. It happens to me ALL the time – most especially when I'm out on the road on my Harley.
The first time I noticed the Elk Crossing sign near Crescent City I got all excited in anticipation of the possibility. I was on the way home from a month long, 15,000+ mile, solo motorcycle tour of 13 Western States. Rather than blast straight home to California on I-5 from my son's house in Washington , I called all my clients from a payphone in Portland and told them I was "running late" (didn't tell them it was on purpose, of course) and turned West to find my way to the Coast Road home. That's the way I originally rode out of the Bay Area on my first solo journey on that Harley and I thought it was fitting that I should return from this trip via the same route. Close The Circle. Besides, the North Coast is oh, so seductive. Riding the Coast Highway has a feel that I imagine is akin to riding through a time long long before before.
And, the reason I got all excited about the Elk Crossing sign that day was that I had just barely two weeks before been in Yellowstone where I'd been an accidental participant in a Buffalo Crossing. I was out cruising the park one day, soaking up the sun, sights, sounds and sheer grandeaur of it all. As I neared a bridge crossing over the Yellowstone, I saw some black dots moving on the grass below , and I stopped in the road to look to see if they were Buffalo. I was in luck! They were - a large herd coming up the hill from the river toward the road. WOW! Buffalo Crossing! How neat is THAT? I thought. I let the herd of impatient SUV's behind me go ahead so I could ride at my own preferred pace (too slow) and look at the Buffalo as I pootled along behind. As the last two or three of the cars reached the other side of the bridge, so did some of the Buffalo and traffic stopped - dead. And there I was stuck in the middle of the bridge. THAT was when I realized that not only were The Great Beasts coming up on the side of the bridge in front of the cars but they were passing the cars and coming straight toward me. And there I was unprotected at the very rear. Cut out of the herd. Vulnerable. But, I wasn't really worried. My superior civilized city slicker mind decided, for some reason, that there was Nothing to worry about. Buffalo do not cross bridges.
The cars ahead managed to inch forward and clear the herd, but my Harley decided, at just that last possible moment when I could have made my escape, to run out of gas and stop – dead. By the time I'd figured out what the problem was and switched to my reserve tank, I was facing an advancing wall of massive heads with big horns, beady little eyes and almost-overpowering smell. Crossing the bridge! And, as I finally managed to fire up the engine again (VROOM! LOUD!) one of the smaller members in the vanguard – I believe it may have been an adolescent bull – decided to take exception to the noise ( I blame it on the Thunder Headers...), stepped forward, stamped his front feet, lowered his head, shook it violently, and snort/bellowed at me. OH SHIT! I'm gonna get trampled to death by Buffalo in Yellowstone National Park. Well, actually, that's kinda cool. I can see the headlines now. "BUFFALO'S REVENGE: GRANNY ON HARLEY KILLED BY RAGING BULL ON YELLOWSTONE BRIDGE!" (and, oh, my, what a legacy that would be to leave my grandchildren, hey? My grandma was trampled to death by buffalo in Yellowstone while riding her Harley... )
As cool as that headline (and legacy) might have been, however, some vestigial instinct for survival kicked in and, without thinking, I cut the engine. That's when I started to realize that American Bison are not the most intelligent species in the American West. As soon as the Harley went silent, the brave young bull (job well done, you'll have many strong calves when you take over the herd) stopped threatening, ceased to be a distinct individual, and blended back into the herd. WHEW! Alrighty then, dodged THAT bullet.
And, THAT'S when I started to realize that American Bikers may also not be the most intelligent species in the West. Because, while ALL of my attention was focused on The Beasts Ahead, I failed to notice The Beasts Behind... the rest of the herd (or, even worse, ANOTHER herd?) had been coming up the hill behind me. And had also begun to cross the bridge (but Buffalo don't…DOH!). And now I was completely surrounded. And as the two groups met in the middle they also stopped – dead. And just stared at each other. Then began snorting and shuffling and trying to sort themselves out.
Dood, you were SUPPOSED to follow us up on the OTHER side.
Hey, I was just followin' HER...
Aw, shucks, Vern, what are we s'posed to do now?
Turn around, go back the other way. No, YOU turn around and go back, we got here first.
Whatchu doin' on OUR side of the bridge, Esse?
And, THAT was when I suddenly heard the fight scene music from West Side Story playing in my head.
Tadadada DUM, TadadadadaDAda…Boy, boy, crazy boy, keep cooly cool boy…Gotta rocket in yer pocket, keep cooly cool boy…
If this were NOT a true story, here would be where I would insert the tale of how I valiantly fought my way out of the melee…Southside Gang vs. Northside Gang, fighting for control of the bridge... dodging switchblades and swinging tails, BUT, alas, the fact is, they all just stood there in a steaming matted stink, blowing out really really BAD breath, occasionally shifting a skinny rump from one foot to the other, or stepping tentatively forward, or just leaning on each other – for comfort? For a moment I had a vision of myself as part of the herd, and leaned (for comfort?) toward – then on - the cow immediately to my right. How ya doin, Old Girl? Wolves treatin' ya OK this year? She didn't answer. I guess she didn't even notice that I was there, much less did I register as possible predator on a Harley babbling nonsense in her ear – I must have been just another cow in the herd to her, because she seemed to lean companionably back. PHUEEEEEEEEUW! DANG! What a nasty stink!!!
And, THAT'S when it occurred to me that, rather than be trampled or gored to death, I was in danger of being leaned, or stinked, to death. Oh, Shit Shit Shit, I've got to get the feck OUT of here! So, I fired the Harley back up as quietly as possible SHHHHH, SHHHHH, SHHHH...don't make so danged much noise.... and proceeded to walk it through and around and past, muttering Excuse me… pardon me…coming through…on your left…watch it! right behind ya ...until I was out of the crowd of Buffalo…and into the crowd of applauding tourists who had been watching the whole scene from the other side. It was all I could do to remember to put down the kick stand when I parked the bike. And, no, I didn't climb off the Harley all too cool badAss biker momma ( I ain't afraid of no…). Nope. I FELL off, with a thud. onto my back, and just lay there staring at the way too blue to be real sky and the circle of faces peering curiously down at me, wondering if anybody was going to notice the wet patch on the crotch of my jeans, but not really caring.
Whoa, there, now THAT was something to see, by golly
Yessirree Bob, yer braver than me, little girl.
Are you OK?
How do you feel?
What are them Buffalo like up close?
Glad you enjoyed the show.
Not brave – peeing my pants TERRIFIED!
Yeah, I'm OK, maybe…just gimme a minute to think about it…
Small, very very small.
Big, very Very BIG.
Um, did anybody think to take a picture? …No? Oh, well , that's ok [in my head: stupid city slickers...and why didn't I think to take a picture? Nobody's gonna believe...]
I've been stone cold in love with wildlife crossings ever since…
And, no, I didn't see any Elk that one day near Crescent City...but I will...
Ride EZ, take the long way home and enjoy the wild life...

Reo-Coker, 28, has played for several English Premier league sides, including West Ham, Aston Villa, and Bolton Wanderers.
The Whitecaps sent second-round picks in both the 2014 and 2015 MLS SuperDraft to the Portland Timbers in exchange for the first right of refusal for Reo-Coker.
Also Thursday, the Timbers signed midfielder Michael Nanchoff, adding another player who played for new Portland ...

The epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes: weapons of mass dispersion
Trends in Parasitology, Volume 22, Issue 9, 1 September 2006, Pages 424-430
Chris Drakeley, Colin Sutherland, J. Teun Bousema, Robert W. Sauerwein and Geoffrey A.T. Targett
AbstractMuch of the epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum in Sub-Saharan Africa focuses on the prevalence patterns of asexual parasites in people of different ages, whereas the gametocytes that propagate the disease are often neglected. One expected benefit of the widespread introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapy for malaria is a reduction in gametocyte carriage. However, the factors that affect the transmission of parasites from humans to mosquitoes show complex dynamics in relation to the intensity and seasonality of malaria transmission, and thus such benefits might not be automatic. Here, we review data on gametocyte carriage in the context of the development of naturally acquired immunity and population infectivity.

AbstractIn vertebrate hosts, malaria parasites produce specialized male and female sexual stages (gametocytes). Soon after being taken up by a mosquito, gametocytes rapidly produce gametes and, once mated, they infect their vector and can be transmitted to new hosts. Despite being the parasite stages that were first identified (over a century ago), gametocytes have remained elusive, and basic questions remain concerning their biology. However, the postgenomic era has substantiated information on the specialized molecular machinery of gametocytogenesis and expedited the development of molecular tools to detect and quantify gametocytes. The application of such highly sensitive and specific tools has opened up novel approaches and provided new insights into gametocyte biology. Here, we review the discoveries made during the past decade, highlight unanswered questions and suggest new directions.

M Dyer and K.P Day
AbstractTo achieve transmission, a subpopulation of asexually dividing bloodstream forms of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum withdraws from the cell cycle to develop into gametocytes – cells specialized for sexual reproduction and invasion of the mosquito vector. For natural selection to maximize transmission to new hosts, a balance must have evolved between asexual replication and sexual differentiation. Here, Mike Dyer and Karen Day consider observations on the process of commitment to gametocytogenesis and use this information as the framework for a model that begins to explain the control of the dynamics between asexual and sexual development.

Plasmodium sex determination and transmission to mosquitoes

b Unité de Recherche Paludologie Afro-tropicale de l'IRD and Institut Pasteur de Madagascar, BP 1274, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar
In order to be transmitted by their mosquito vector, malaria parasites undergo sexual reproduction, which occurs between specialized male and female parasites (gametes) within the blood meal in the mosquito. Nothing was known about how Plasmodium determines the sex of its gametocytes (gamete precursors), which are produced in the vertebrate host. Recently, erythropoietin, the vertebrate hormone controlling erythropoiesis in response to anaemia, was implicated in Plasmodium sex determination in animal models of malaria. This review examines the available information and addresses the relevance of such a sex determining mechanism for Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes, with special reference to low gametocytaemias.

All of a sudden, I'm missing everyone, my dh, Ethan, mum, dad, sis & all my close friends.
Yeah I know, I see both my dh & son everyday but I really do miss them when I'm at work. I just couldn't get enough of them! Hahahahahahahaha!! Call me crazy but I love my family!! I can't live a day without hearing or seeing them. They make me a happy woman & a mother.
Sometimes I just wish I could stay at home & be with Ethan, see him grow each day & giving him all my love & time. I felt that I have short changed him of the quality time, especially at his age now when he needs someone to guide him & help him build a good foundation.
I have so many wishes & yet I can't fulfill them, not every one of them. If only I could just fulfill a couple of wishes, life would be so much easier. Since when life is easy???
Guess what? Mum & Dad will be visiting in about 2 weeks time!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee………………….. Hahahahahahaha!!
I'm so happy that they're coming to visit again. Can't wait to see them & there's so much to talk. I think they're looking forward to this visit too expecially when Mum has been calling so often to ask about Ethan!! She just simply can't wait to see him. He's her favourite grandson, obviously spoil him to bits!!
Ethan has been talking about them too, occassionally he'll just point out to a car on the street that looks just like Dad's car & said, "That's Kong Kong's (grandpa in Chinese) car!! Mummy, that's Kong Kong's car!!". He'll repeat this endlessly & when I called Dad & let Ethan speak, he'll talk to Dad like there's no tomorrow. And half the time Dad was laughing away because he don't know what Ethan was blabbering away. Hahahahahahahaha!!
They haven't seen Ethan for 3 months and Ethan has grown so much taller & he's talking in full sentences now.
I just can't wait!!! I'm counting the days………………..

No, I don't think so. If you don't bind the unconstrained array then it remains unconstrained within the entity/architecture, and that makes no sense. For example, what would happen if you tried to make use of "O'length" within the architecture?

Latina Group seeking outside investigation on ambush by unknown subjects in camouflage clothing armed with rifles and affecting border crossers We are seeking outside investigation with regard to the incident that occurred in the State of Arizona involving an ambush by an unknown number of subjects in camouflage clothing armed with rifles.

We believe the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) should conduct a full investigation with regard to the possible militia men gone rogue.
U.S. foreign policy emanates from the domestic condition of its society, and nothing will affect its society more than the dramatic movement of Latin history northward. By 2050, as much as a third of the American population could be Hispanic. Mexico and Central America constitute a growing demographic and economic powerhouse with which the United States has an inextricable relationship. In recent years Mexico's economic growth has outpaced that of its northern neighbor. Mexico's population of 111 million plus Central America's of more than 40 million equates to half the population of the United States. Because of the North American Free Trade Agreement, 85 percent of Mexico's exports go to the United States, even as half of Central America's trade is with the United States. While the median age of Americans is nearly 37, demonstrating the aging tendency of the U.S. population, the median age in Mexico is 25, and in Central America it is much lower (20 in Guatemala and Honduras, for example). In part because of young workers moving northward, the destiny of the United States could be north-south, rather than the east-west, sea-to-shining-sea of continental and patriotic myth. (This will be amplified by the scheduled 2014 widening of the Panama Canal, which will open the Greater Caribbean Basin to megaships from East Asia, leading to the further development of Gulf of Mexico port cities in the United States, from Texas to Florida.)

Tribute to
The Oprah Show
's Audience
Oprah.com | April 25, 2011
When Oprah first came to Chicago more than two decades ago, she told her boss that she couldn't do
The Oprah Winfrey Show
without an audience. Back in those days, the staff rounded up metal folding chairs and filled them with a few dozen people to watch the show.
"I used to go out on State Street, where we were, and offer coffee and doughnuts just to get people in the building," Oprah recalls. "We've come a long way from State Street!"
Since then, more than 1 million people have sat in
The Oprah Show
's seats. They've hopped on trains, planes and automobiles, traveled across the country and across town, waited out in the cold Chicago weather, and donned their Sunday best to be a part of
The Oprah Show
's audience.
See what Oprah has to say about her loyal audience of the last 25 years
Whether they've helped the show make history or given us some of our biggest laughs, our audience members have been with us since the beginning—and have given us some of the most memorable moments season after season.
Catch up with some of your favorite
Oprah Show
audience members
Many times after a show tapes, Oprah settles in for a chat with the audience members. One audience member she says she'll never forget is Tommy, who told her his hilarious story of facing down his childhood bully with nothing but his pink Cinderella lunch box.
Watch Tommy tell Oprah the story
After posting the clip of Tommy on Oprah.com, it went viral. Since then, Tommy says he has had a wild ride and has turned a childhood memory into a catalyst for change. "I've been speaking to different groups since that time and with the gay community," Tommy says. "We're trying to get a halt to this bullying."
What's more, Tommy says he ran into the bully at a recent high school reunion. "He apologized, and I accepted his apology," he says.
Oprah says when she told
Tommy's story
to filmmaker
Tyler Perry
, she said everyone needs a pink Cinderella lunch box in their life. So, Tyler sent a pink Cinderella lunch box to Oprah.
"I'm going to send it on to you," Oprah tells Tommy.
Catch up with the Mariah Carey fans whose experience after the show ended up saving one of their lives
When audience members Will and Marcus stood up to ask a question after a taping of
The Oprah Winfrey Show
in 2009, they never dreamed where it would take them—and neither did we.
As two Mariah Carey superfans, the men asked Oprah if their idol would appear on
The Oprah Winfrey Show
that season. After hearing that Mariah would indeed appear on the show, Will and Marcus asked if they could attend the taping to watch her sing...but Oprah said she could do better than that!
Watch these two die-hard Mariah Carey fans ask their question and react to surprises from Oprah
Mariah herself
Now, Will and Marcus say that meeting Mariah and appearing on
The Oprah Winfrey Show
changed their lives in ways they never expected.
First, Marcus reveals that he lost 65 pounds. "I guess TV really is life's mirror because when I saw myself, I was like, 'Is that what I really look like?'" he says. "I started eating really healthy and started doing a lot of things. I've done a couple of 5Ks, I swam in the Iowa Games last summer and now I'm training for a triathlon."
For Will, he says seeing himself on the show
saved his life. "I was watching the show and ... said [to myself], 'Will, there's something wrong with your neck," he recalls. Will saw how swollen his neck was in the clip and decided to go to the doctor.
After several tests, Will got the news: He had cancer.
"I did chemo from January to July of 2010 [and] I am cancer-free now!" Will says.
Watch Will and Marcus read Oprah their thank you card after the show
Before any audience members can even sit in their seats at Harpo Studios, they are taken care of by Harpo's Sally Lou Loveman and her team in the audience department. This team makes sure each audience member makes it to the show, knows where to go, knows what to wear, is excited for the taping and more—and they always seem to do it flawlessly. "They treat every audience member like gold," Oprah says.
Even though they make it look easy, Sally Lou says that it isn't always smooth sailing. One of the audience department's biggest challenges was a few months ago when a huge blizzard swept through Chicago. It was the only time in
Oprah Show
history when Harpo shut down—but Sally Lou and her team were still hard at work informing and rescheduling the audience members who were supposed to come to that week's tapings.
"The blizzard happened on a Wednesday," Sally Lou says. "[That Tuesday], we're preparing. We're talking to people who really can't get out of their flights and they have to come, or their flights were cancelled. ... We talked to about 1,800 people over a three-day period."
After making tons of phone calls, spending nights away from home and their families, and changing many travel plans, the audience department had everything worked out. "To date, all the [audience members] of that week have officially come to
The Oprah Winfrey Show
," Sally Lou says.
In addition to leading the audience department, Sally Lou is also in charge of revving up the audience before each
Oprah Show
taping—she gets them singing and dancing in their seats before each taping, talks with them, encourages them to share their stories and more. She says it's one of her favorite parts of her job.
"I love it. It's like breathing to me! It's just fun," Sally Lou says, turning to the audience. "You're our family. ... Really, truly, you all become our family, and you become each other's family. You're just one big—we say 'one people.'"
"You are the real PR for our show," Oprah says to the audience department. "You are the first line for people's real engagement with anybody or anything to do with
The Oprah Winfrey Show
, and every one of you represents me and the rest of us so well."
"It's very easy to represent Oprah Winfrey because there's so much joy and love that we have in our hearts—that you [audience members] have, that we all have," Sally Lou says. "You make it very easy."

This is what it's about: visuals that communicate life.
It's time for video that changes people. Life is a collection of moments we must remember and cherish as long as we can. And however simple those moments may seem to others, the fact of the matter is that many of us, most of us, see them in our mind's eye in a unique way. We remember the moments with a panache and style that can't often be recreated on-screen, at least without going to Hollywood. Until now.

I finally found the solution to a problem that was killing me. Before I found it, I asked an SO question about it, and had even started a bounty on the question. Can I now post a self-answer and, if no better answers get posted before the bounty expires, award myself the bounty?
No, you can't assign the bounty to yourself. However, you can add your own answer and accept it so that other people will know that's what solved the problem. If the answer is good enough, it will get upvotes then it may even earn a separate bounty at some point from another user who finds it exceptionally useful. Worth to mention that in the past it was possible to grant ourselves a bounty (example), resulting in +[rep] to show besides the answer but no actual reputation gain which was just confusing. It was removed back in July 7, 2011. (Four months before this question was asked) |

Thanks for the work you're doing on pronunciations. I've reinstated and fixed the SAMPA at intermittent - where the pronunciation includes an = sign you need to prefix it with 1= (or 2= for a second pronunciation, etc), i.e. {{SAMPA|1=/%Int3:(r)"mItn=t/}}. This is because in template syntax everything between a | and = is treated as the name of a parameter. If there is no equals signs, it parses the parameters in the specified order, the 1= is therefore telling it to parse everything up to | or }} (whichever comes first) as the content of the first parameter, rather than treating t/ as the content of an undefined parameter named /%Int3:(r)"mItn. (compare {{quote-book}}
). Thryduulf 19:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
I've never heard photo pronounced IPA(key): /foʊtoʊ/ stateside. Did you mean perhaps IPA(key): /foʊɾoʊ/?—msh210℠ 19:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I'm currently reading the recent vote on phonemic/phonetic transcription of IPA(key): [ɹ] for English words, and trying to decide how best to transcribe things like photo in light of that. Because you're right that IPA(key): [ˈfoʊɾoʊ] would be the correct phonetic transcription (you'd have to be real stodgy to say IPA(key): [ˈfoʊtoʊ]), I was shooting for a phonemic transcription. It's just questionable how far to take that, because to be purely phonemic, it would be unnecessary to distinguish between RP and US pronunciations in a lot of cases (including photo). Torgo 22:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think the best rule of thumb for pronunciations is to do the most precise transcription which would apply to the majority of American speakers. If I'm not mistaken, using the flap instead of the full stop would apply to most American speakers (and I would assume the Brits as well), and should thus be used. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 22:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Probably not the Brits, in this case. While I like that idea, it still doesn't solve the phonemic/phonetic transcription problem. Currently, almost all the pronunciations I've run into are enclosed in slashes, implying a phonemic transcription. But I don't think we want a true phonemic transcription. At least, the Wiktionary:Pronunciation page isn't too clear on what should/shouldn't be used, and after reading that IPA(key): [ɹ] vs. IPA(key): [r] vote, doesn't seem like the community is either. I guess I'll change photo, but this needs to get cleared up a bit. Torgo 22:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Is More Information Better? The Effects of 'Report Cards' on Health Care Providers
Health care report cards - public disclosure of patient health outcomes at the level of the individual physician and/or hospital - may address important informational asymmetries in markets for health care, but they may also give doctors and hospitals incentives to decline to treat more difficult, severely ill patients. Whether report cards are good for patients and for society depends on whether their financial and health benefits outweigh their costs in terms of the quantity, quality, and appropriateness of medical treatment that they induce. Using national data on Medicare patients at risk for cardiac surgery, we find that cardiac surgery report cards in New York and Pennsylvania led both to selection behavior by providers and to improved matching of patients with hospitals. On net, this led to higher levels of resource use and to worse health outcomes, particularly for sicker patients. We conclude that, at least in the short run, these report cards decreased patient and social welfare.Download Info

The ETCL/INKE is a multi-user WordPress site. There are global settings which affect total amount of uploaded files and maximum individual file size. These limits apply to all sites in the instance (and I'm guessing the total is an aggregate for all the sites, rather than for each, but I'm not sure).
To get to the settings
- log in to admin interface
- go to My Sites / Network Admin / Dashboard in the grey navbar
- choose settings from the menu on the left
- scroll down to Upload Settings.
(e.g. http://hcmc.uvic.ca/~etcl/wordpress/wp-admin/network/settings.php)
There's a "limit total size of uploads" checkbox (to enable/disable limit) and textfield (to specify limit).
There is also a "max upload filesize" textfield (which is currently set to 1500 KB or 1.5 MB)
Don't forget to save your modifications.
The maximum size of uploadable file that appears in the meda / add new page (e.g. http://hcmc.uvic.ca/~etcl/wordpress/wp-admin/media-new.php) is 1 MB. Not sure why that is not the 1.5 MB specified in the network settings.
If you get very close to the total size allocated, the max uploadable file size displayed in the add media page is whatever space you have left within the limit.
Finally, this wasn't a factor in this instance, but php has limits too (which you can see by calling phpinfo):
post_max_size 150M
upload_max_filesize 150M
I'm not sure how to modify those values. As an experiment, I tried adding
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M
in the .htaccess file at the root of wordpress, but that threw errors. I didn't try a php.ini file within the account.
The library is running an instance of OCS, and IK set me up with an account for testing it, to see if it would suit our purposes for DHSI. I set up a couple of test conferences, but as far as I can see, it can't handle the sort of special-event-registration we want to handle; you can have different registration types, but you can't let people choose events and/or courses and register specifically for them. So it looks as though RegOnline is the best option, at the moment.
Planning, organization and programming issues relating to HCMC's role in the planning of DHSI.

These are so nice looking and a much better price than I found anywhere else. Easy to install and they work great. I leave mine closed most of the time because they diffuse the light so beautifully.
This product exceeded my expectations. The dimensions were a perfect fit. Easy to install with a lifter included so that finger prints don't get on the base. Can't wait to get another one for another window. The quality is way nicer than the ones at BB&B.

Kirkwood is not a mountain for beginners, most of the mountain is covered in diamond and double diamond trails. But, in the years that I've been up in the area, Kirkwood has usually had the most consistently good snow quality. That being said, the weekend I was up was approximately 19ºF each day with constant snow. Visibility was not the greatest, but the fresh soft fluffy powder was fantastic. Heavenly, approximately 30 minutes away, did not get the quantity of fresh powder that Kirkwood did that weekend. Before you go you should evaluate your abilities, and check out the map at http://www.kirkwood.com/You should also check the website for deals, I got a college discount card (I'm actually in graduate school but they still accepted my ID and course schedule) so I only paid $41 for Saturday and $31 for Sunday.

Blogs push policy change
I mentioned in the 5/28 post how some legislators abuse the per diem allowance by coming into the office for only short periods of time or making a few phone calls (many times personal) and then picking up a full day allowance of $141.00.
I'm not taking any credit for the big news I have for you. I just wanted you to know that many of you who picked up the information and ran with it, scored a touchdown so to speak.
Although there are many, two examples of the information flow: Mark Rose at the site Right Minded wrote a column on 6/6 for the Lebanon Democrat newspaper in which he discussed my post and per diem expenses for legislators. He posted the column on his site. Here locally, I heard a caller mention the per diem expenses on a Sunday radio show in Knoxville.
Are you wondering what the news is which just arrived from high places in Nashville? Legislators are now required to give a clear explanation of the work performed and/or the meetings attended that reflect clear legislative purpose that would allow them to collect the per diem money.
This is a great start. I would have hoped for a limit to the number of days money can be collected and I fear someone could just say "I'm working for my constituents" to cover the reason, but I hope this is just a start.
Good job everyone.

Amazing how the bugs scurry when you turn on the light.
Of course we all know what the big bribes are- hiring legislators. Sometimes it's a "job"- like Crutchfield's $50,000= to act as attorney for the school board- and sometimes it's a consultancy. Sometimes it's the spouse, child, parent, or combination thereof who is hired. But there are damned few legislators whose income remains their legislative fees and just their pre election jobs.
The ones who want to sell themselves will always find a way. The idea behind ethics talk is to promote systems that make dishonesty more difficult and discourage dishonesty by making it pay less.
Oh for the day when thieves are shunned in our legislator instead of being applauded or elected to leadership positions.
If it ever comes, it will be in some part due to this blog's breaking the code of silence in the capitol.It isn't "we the people" who is the problem, it is the system. Change the system, elimanate the problem. Get rid of per diem.
In California, everyone comes in for 15 minutes of Friday, then they leave. Yes, they get the per diem. I hate it. Have you ever tried to ask someone to give up their money? We have. They turned it over to a "committee."
We are running on empty, but the "committee" saw fit to give them an $11,000 per year raise. I am disgusted.
I am glad you have found some small way to put the word "shame" back into the vocabulary. Good for all of you.Rosemary,
These crooks have been elected time and again by "we the people". The "alleged" head crook had been elected for 30 years and the leaders in Memphis said they would vote for him again if possible. We can't legislate morals. If a person is elected and is just getting by financially then he shows up with $100.00 haircuts, $1000.00 suits, etc - WHAT? "We the people" reelect them! I know legislators that have been there for years and are just getting by.Well, since "we the people" elect representatives that only listen to "we the lobbyists" then maybe "we the people" should have our own lobbyist that seem to get things done better than our elected representatives. Also, the committee system is being used by Naifeh as a bill killer and nothing else.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of a solution and lets see what the forum thinks. How about NO PER DIEM, NO MILEAGE, NO NOTHING EXTRA. Just combine all the hidden perks and whatnot and combine it all into one salary. I belive it may come to around $30,000 per year. Maybe more but this is my rought estimate. I support this measure because it will make it more attractive to people. For instance, it is easier to get someone to work for $30,000 than for $16,500. Although this is unfair to the far distance members, but maybe some type of deal where those who have to live in hotel are reimbursed or something. What do you think the policy should be rep?
ReplyDeleteset the number of per diem days to a max of 52 a year for reg reps (45 days of session + up to 7 more for what ever) 60 for both party leaders and their top 3 people after that you pay your own way ,Per diem should be 50.00 if you live W/I 50 miles of the capitol .milage is fair ,call the office money what it is ,bonus money . Session would end in 45 days (or less) in 1 or 2 years at most. the number of bad bills would dry up and go away there would be a much more business mood less play time,less silly wastefull summer study committees and only people who came for the right reasons would come back.
ReplyDeleteThose issues should be done in the 45 days .We worked on all those (except income tax ,and we dont need that any way)this year and no one did much on them ,this was not for lack of time.If we reward bad or slow work we will get more of it. If special session is needed come with ideas and a plan.
ReplyDeleteJust for clarification, limited per diem and no special session per diem pay would reduce "silly" bills and force legislators to concentrate only on important ones?
The only problem I have is that what you may consider silly, another legislator may feel is important. Besides carry private acts as a courtesy, I don't think many legislators propose "silly" bills. I know many try to push bills through that they no will fail year after year. (Harmon and significant teacher raise) Is it wrong to try to push through bills you believe will fail?

Although the state's previous drug supplier says it will not supply for the next execution, Missouri says it's found another willing pharmacy.
On Monday, the Apothecary Shoppe in Oklahoma reached a settlement with an inmate who had sued the pharmacy. Although the terms were confidential, the pharmacy agreed to not sell to Missouri for its upcoming execution.
In a court filing Wednesday evening, the state said inmate Michael Taylor was trying to cut off the supply of the state's execution drug.

After a lawsuit filed by a death-row inmate, the Apothecary Shoppe in Oklahoma has agreed to not sell to Missouri for its upcoming execution.
Originally published on Mon February 3, 2014 4:51 pm
An Oklahoma compounding pharmacy has supplied Missouri with the drug it's used three times to execute inmates, despite the fact that the pharmacy isn't licensed here.
Now the Apothecary Shoppe is attempting to become licensed in Missouri.
Originally published on Tue January 28, 2014 5:31 am
Late Friday night, a group of federal judges found that the compounding pharmacy making Missouri's execution drug can remain secret, but new emails point to one pharmacy as the likely supplier.

Around May 2014
good game!!! I love this game although I dont know what you're suppose to do at school in the begining.
the intro part is not really important it just allows you to understand each character a bit.
Great but minus half a star for following issues:
- When you close the browser you can't save it
- Even though I had 100 energy I couldn't use the modelling agency for few days and it made me fall way behind
- I suck at the fighting
the model agency requires all four girls to work so maybe you didn't take a good care of you pet at the basement?
this is the best game ever. haha, i was absorbed by it so i played it and finish in 1 day without pausing the game or leaving the computer. I will look forward for its prequel the "Simgirls Lovemore". THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS :D

Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce told News/Talk WSB's Mark Alewine the man was running around naked with a gun. The man, whose name has not been released, threatened officers on the scene during the standoff.
"Officers had to take that immediate action and stop that aggressive act," Sgt. Pierce said. "Officers were confronted by him with a weapon. It was at that point when officers used that force necessary to stop that aggressive act."
Residents at the Riverside House Apartments near Windy Hill and Powers Ferry Roads were evacuated around 7:40 p.m. and kept out of their homes for hours. No one else was hurt.
"I'm in a state of shock," a resident told Channel 2 Action News. "It's scary to think that someone that's your neighbor did something like this."
Per protocol, the officer who shot the suspect has been placed on administrative leave. The deadly altercation is being investigated by Cobb County Internal Affairs.
