UHMC Baseball Team: New Hit On Campus!
On Wednesday, May 30, an informational meeting took place in the student lounge that got the ball rolling on a new UH Maui College Baseball Club team.
Coach Barry Takahashi has been running a "college baseball club" for the last four summers, but this year, UHMC will enter our first ever baseball team into the Maui County Central Park and Recreation Men's Open Baseball League (MOBL).
The league, which consists of nine teams, will play a 16 game regular season schedule, with each team playing an opponent twice. League rules are guided by National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) guidelines (the same rules that govern high school level sports), although there will be a few modifications for league play - one of which is that the league aims to play nine innings on the weekend compared to seven innings as set by the NFHS.
Most games will be played on weekday evenings at Iron Maehara Stadium when the local professional team, Na Koa Ikaika, is out of town. "Some might be at the Maui High Field because the county rents the stadium out to the independent team there; local leagues like this one and the senior and junior little leagues do not get to use the stadium as much as we'd like to," said Takahashi. "It's not so much that it has seating or lights, it's the fact that it is one of only two regulation baseball fields in Central Maui."
According to Takahashi, one major goal is to get a regulation baseball field dedicated to the UHMC program exclusively that would allow for the proper development of student athletes and help accommodate the local youth leagues when the field is not in use.
Technically the baseball team is a club, but Takahashi has high hopes of developing an intramural sports program that would allow UHMC athletes to compete with those from other UH campuses. Takahashi is also interested in building the foundation for a UHMC Division 2 intercollegiate baseball program here at the college, saying, "UH Manoa and UH Hilo both started as clubs, then developed into intercollegiate programs. Maui has the right elements to do the same - strong youth and adult baseball community, proven talent via the number of MLB draftees and steady stream of quality college players at all levels
The team's goals are to "put together series against other Hawaii and Mainland college clubs in the fall, winter, or spring" and "supplement the college club schedule with series against local club teams via the Men's Open Baseball League, Maui Adult Baseball League, and the American-Japanese Ancestry Baseball League." The UHMC Baseball Club is in the process of scheduling games against MABL and AJA clubs.
The UHMC baseball team is working on hosting intercollegiate tournaments here on Maui in the near future. Invitations have been sent to schools such as UT Austin, North Carolina, and USC. Long Beach State also showed interest in coming to Maui for pre-season "friendlies", or even putting together a possible tournament.
There will be no admission fee for students to attend games.
"We want each UHMC night game at Maehara Stadium to be filled with students, staff, and faculty, as well as, community members as we celebrate baseball and cheer for the students on the field," said Takahashi.
Funding for the baseball team will come from the new UHMC student government council. All UHMC athletics will be covered by an activity fee that is part of tuition costs. The activity fees will go toward paying umpires, providing lighting for night games, equipment, and uniforms.
Team workouts start in mid-June and will be held at Hitter's Paradise in Kihei. League play begins in early July and concludes mid-October. Although there is an emphasis to recruit UHMC students interested in playing baseball, the club is not exclusive to students. Members of the community, even high school students, interested in joining the club are welcome to get involved and contribute to the progression of collegiate sports on Maui.
The successful development of a baseball program may bring about new opportunities for the campus by leading the way for other sport teams such as soccer, basketball, and flag-football that will bring with them new energy, increased campus pride and an enhanced college experience for the student body.
In addition to players, the baseball club is currently looking for on-campus groups and individuals who want to help with sports management and marketing. Game announcers, scoreboard operators, music effects engineers, promotion team, entertainers, and vendors are also needed.
For more information regarding how to get involved with the new baseball activity on campus, contact Barry Takahashi at (808) 250-6835 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tiggs is about 6 years old and has been in great health but the past few days he's been in a lot of pain and was diagnosed with a urinary blockage. It effects 1 in 7 male cats and if not treated immediately can be fatal within 48 hours. Luckily we got him into the vet before it was too late and he's having surgery. As my boyfriend and I are both young and working it's stressful coming up with the funds ourselves without avoiding debt.
We're both extremely upset over this situation and want to prevent it from ever happening again, he truly is the most loving cat, he constantly greets us at the door and his favourite thing to do is cuddle and I can't imagine not having him.
If anyone would be so kind as to help us out in our efforts to get him better we would both be eternally grateful. Anything at all would help.

This is a baseball signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers circa 1940. It was one of the few possessions my grandfather had from his years growing up in an orphanage in Brooklyn. It sits next to my record player, and I think of him often. I thought it'd be cute to point out next to a record by modern baseball. (See what I did there? So witty.)
More proof thestray is my spirit animal.
Because I look so young for my age people often ask me if I get carded, and the answer is no, because it never is necessary, and then comes a line of questioning that makes them think I'm the most boring person on earth.

I did a lot of research on this issue a couple of years ago when our board agreed to address the issue. After I read tons of material and digested the data, I'm convinced half our teenagers in my district are walking around as zombies. It's a bad situation and there just seems to be nothing we can do about it! Schedules are cast in stone, athletics has major community support, and no action to benefit the mental health of kids is ever taken!
My son, an early-bird from infancy to now, stands waiting for his bus at 6:10. It's not too bad for him, but he is 13 now and if he does what's typical for adolescents, his wake-up time will get later and later.
I'm convinced that if any change is to be made, it is going to have to be state-wide.
What do you think?
Nuture Shock discusses the difference of one more hour of sleep (http://nurtureshock.com/). Their suggestion is to start school one hour later. As a board member, how likely do you see that change happening? Obviously, it complicates many things, but if results are major...

The storm clouds gather over the dusky river, but it doesn't matter to us. We're safe inside, and only need to shut the wavery glass of the ancient eaved windows against the rains when and if they come. But for now, they're open, the breezes come, almost lusty, as smooth as silk and as airy as mesh, full of the promise of the storm. An easy afternoon, the feeling worth remembering.
May We Recommend?
$48.00 - $96.00

From the stormy coasts to the tweed and serge palette, this sweet silk and cotton color blocked bikini calls to mind the Scottish highlands (we'd wear it under our kilts).

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Beginning on July 1, 2014, employers in Ontario will have an added responsibility of ensuring that all workers and all supervisors in all workplaces that fall subject to the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) have completed a mandatory occupational health and safety awareness training program. This training requirement has been introduced by O. Reg. 297/13, a new regulation under OHSA that is commonly referred to as the Occupational Health and Safety Awareness and Training Regulation.
The required training will be slightly different for workers and supervisors but will cover similar topics such as the roles and responsibilities of employers and employees under OHSA and the roles of various boards and associations.
With less than 2.5 months to go, employers who have not yet done so are well-advised to begin preparing for and implementing the required training. As part of the preparations, employers who already train employees should ensure that such training meets the requirements of O. Reg. 297/13. Workers and supervisors who have completed training that meets the requirements will not have to be trained again. However, if an employer's current training falls short or if an employer has not implemented similar training before, the employer must ensure that all workers and supervisors complete the required training. After July 1, 2014, new workers will need to complete training as soon as possible and new supervisors will need to complete training within one week of working as a supervisor.
One way to complete the training is to use the Ministry of Labour's online tutorial or hardcopy workbooks that are available, free of charge. Employers may also use their own equivalent materials so long as the materials include the required content. Alternatively, employers may use the services of a private company that offers online training modules that include the required content.
In addition, employers will need to make sure that they have an effective system in place for maintaining records of completed training.

Train: Danube Express
Train Type: First-Class
Journeys on this Train
When we first experienced the Danube Express private train, we knew it would jump to IRT's World's Top 25 Trains list. The train started service with its gorgeous deluxe carriages in 2008. Most itineraries either start or go through Budapest, Hungary, where the train is headquartered. One of the best itineraries is Istanbul to Prague, and one of the great developments for this train: all departures are guaranteed departures. This is great news for our guests.
Latest News: Click here for Track 25, our blog, for the latest news on the Danube Express and other of our World's Top 25 Trains™.
The Danube Express accommodates just 50 passengers and offers a magical combination of modern amenities and traditional style.
The Deluxe sleeping carriages offer the best train accommodations in Europe. Private compartments are air conditioned, with private, ensuite facilities and two lower beds that fold up into seating during the day. They are roomy at 83.4 square feet, including the bathroom. There are windows that open throughout the train, a boon for photographers. There are five Deluxe cabins per carriage.
Each deluxe carriage has a heated towel rail, shaver socket and hairdryer and a range of toiletries. Bedrooms have individually controlled air-conditioning, lighting with dimmer switches, individual reading lights, power sockets and a safe.
Some tours also include the older and less expensive Heritage cabins, which are much smaller (33.2 square feet), with bunk-style beds that fold into seating by day; shower and toilet are down the hall.
Co-ordinated fabrics complement wood paneled walls and brass fittings. Two comfortable armchairs provide daytime seating and a free-standing chair adds flexibility. Cupboards and a full length wardrobe provide ample storage; the large picture window and full length mirror enhance the spacious feel. A second window can be opened for fresh air and for that perfect photo opportunity.
During dinner each evening the living room is converted into two comfortable lower beds by your attendant who is also on hand to bring early morning tea or coffee or perhaps later, a glass of wine.
Dining is delicious but not fancy, and dress is smart casual. All meals are served in a single sitting, offering diners more time to relax and enjoy the scenery outside the windows. Gourmet meals and white-glove service are not the aim here; meals are hearty local specialties such as goose, mashed potatoes and braised red cabbage and service is friendly and experienced. Staff members do not speak much English, but they are pleasant and cheerful. As one staff member said to a recent IRT traveler: "We are smiling."
Lounge Cars
The lounge car is spacious, with room for most of the train's passengers. The atmosphere is friendly, and the brandy—the local specialty—is tasty. House wine and beer on the train are included with the price of the journey; spirits are not included. The pianist is talented and jolly; the songbook on board seems two inches thick stuffed with every song you ever thought of singing.
The itineraries are designed to take you to the heart of Central and Eastern Europe in comfort and style. The off-train sightseeing calls for plenty of walking, often over cobblestones and uneven pavement. None of the compartments on the train is handicapped accessible.
2014: Note that no drinks are included off the train except for water on the touring buses. Gratuities are not included in the price of your program.
2015: Beginning in 2015, the Danube Express will become the Golden Eagle Danube Express, with upgrades designed to transform the train and service from first-class to luxury (similar to the Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express).
Improvements include:
• Upgraded audio system
• L'Occitane toiletries
• New china and crystal ware for the restaurant cars
• Luxury bathrobes and towels
• New tableware and deluxe tablecloths
• Luxury bed linens
• Curtain tie-backs
• New cushions for deluxe cabins and bar
• New signage for carriages
• New curtains for bar car
• New and improved menus with upgraded cuisine
Tours in 2015 are all-inclusive, with prices to match.

Witnesses testified about the high cost of dental care and the availability of dental health care insurance. They also talked about a report showing that more than four out of 10 American adults with tooth or mouth problems skipped trips to the dentist because they lacked insurance and could not afford out-of-pocket payments. They also said that the health system would save money if dental services were provided as a routine part of preventive care. close

I would have thrown my fork at him, but I was using it to spear a few plump escargot dripping with jade-green parsley butter. My friend Bob wished our appetizer of unclad snails and sliced mushrooms had been served with cocktail forks and noted that the dish was one of the least garlicky versions he'd ever tasted. "But look at the crowd," he whispered. "We're the youngest people in the room."
Except for our beautiful young waitress, Charlotte, who hurried out with a steaming crock of French onion soup. Its top bubbled with cheese, and the robust brew was thick with long-simmered onions. And as an appetite stimulant, no salad works quite as well as the icy collection of greens tossed in Arai's punchy house dressing, a tart vinaigrette of soy, egg, oil and rice vinegar.
When I first dined at Tatsu's twenty years ago, I fell madly in love with his signature supreme de poulet teriyaki, a juicy hunk of sautéed chicken glazed with a slightly crispy, caramelized crust. Over the years, Arai gave in to the anti-fat contingent and replaced the succulent dark meat, cooked in its skin, with three pallid medallions of skinless breast barely splattered with sweet sauce. I found it to be a cruel sacrifice for good health. Bob indulged himself with a perfectly grilled slab of beef tenderloin drenched in a shallot-and-red-wine reduction -- it's one of the best steak deals in town, better (and less expensive) than the same cut at one legendary local steakhouse.
A few nights later we returned with jazz singer Queen Bey in tow. She had never eaten at Tatsu's, but the idea of a French restaurant owned by a Japanese-born chef appealed to her, particularly when she heard that Arai had once worked at Maxim's (OK, it was the Chicago Maxim's) and knew his way around an oxtail.
"Honey, I can't tell you the last time I had a good, meaty oxtail," Queen said, giving the crowd the once-over. "I'm glad I dressed up. Everyone here looks good."
That night, a beautiful young couple sat among the wrinkle set; it was as if a spotlight were shining on their table. Queen buttered a piece of baguette and informed our server that she'd have the potage de crab au sherry. "And not too heavy on the sherry, dear."
It was a luscious soup, silken in color and texture, with a mound of fresh crabmeat floating in the center. Bob and I shared an order of golden sautéed oysters, then delighted in our salads until dinner arrived. Queen's oxtail was the pièce de résistance of the night, a glossy shank of beef, braised and baked until the meat all but tumbled off the bone. "Honey, I'm having an orgasm, it's so good," she said.
The biddy at the next table cringed, so I was more discreet in raving about my sliced, roasted duck breast, tender and pink and dripping with a creamy peppercorn sauce. Bob chose another longtime Tatsu's favorite, supreme de poulet sauté aux herbes, plump chicken-breast medallions doused in a lemony butter sauce.
He considered the dish, served with steamed broccoli, carrots and potatoes, light enough that he could indulge in the restaurant's most extravagant and expensive dessert, the Grand Marnier Soufflé. Our server brought the gorgeously light puff of sugar and stiffly beaten eggs to the table directly from the oven while it still stood proud, then expertly divided the frothy cloud and poured a ribbon of orange-flavored liqueur over each portion. Because Arai started his restaurant career as a pastry chef, I gave in to temptation and also ordered his chocolate mousse torte, a tidy little square of ganache and satiny mousse dusted in cocoa and served with wedges of pink grapefruit, orange slices and circles of fresh kiwi. In a word, divine.

WHITE Begins Performances 2/26 at the Wallis
The award-winning Catherine Wheels Theatre Company from Scotland presents White, an enchanting production for the very young, February 26 to March 23, at the Lovelace Studio Theater at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.
White, which had its premiere at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, won three Festival Awards including Total Theatre. It then triumphed at 2011 Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland (CATS), winning Best Production for Children and Young People, Best Design (Set, Costumes and Lighting) and Best Technical Presentation. Picking up three of the ten awards available, it was described as the most successful show of the year. White was also nominated for a New York Drama Desk Award (2012) and an Australian Helpmann Award (2012).
White has since been seen around the world in New York, Copenhagen, Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, France, Demark and Luxembourg. During this season White has had performances in France, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and the United States; later it travels to Taiwan and more European destinations.
"White exemplifies the kind of family attraction that we are seeking for The Wallis," said Executive Director Lou Moore. Our intimate 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater is the perfect space that allows companies like Catherine Wheels to speak in an involving, very direct way to the audience for a captivating theatre experience. The Edinburgh Festival Award it received - Total Theatre - completely describes what the show. It works for two to five year olds, and it works for adults alike."
In this offbeat comedy, the audience is invited into an all-white world where two friends, Cotton and Wrinkle, diligently look after a grove full of birdhouses, making sure that everything stays "bright, ordered and white." But when colors start to appear, things become truly magical. The New York Times said, "This may be the only show that will remind you simultaneously of Teletubbies and Waiting for Godot."
"When we are establishing our programming for families," said Edie Demas, The Wallis' Director of Education, "we are looking - all over the world - for companies that will not only introduce children to theatre, but give them an experience that will prepare and excite them for a life that includes the performing arts. With Catherine Wheels we found exactly one of the productions we were looking for."
Tickets, priced at $25.00 (General Admission), for the Catherine Wheels Theatre Company production of White at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, are available by visiting www.thewallis.org, in person at the Box Office at 9390 N. Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and by phone at 310-746-4000. Performances are February 26 - March 23, 2014 in the Lovelace Studio Theater.

At Scallop imaging they have taken a truly new and innovative approach to the way the world should view cameras. For over 200 years the design of the camera has largely remained unchanged with a single lens and a single image capture point. This has meant that up until now if you wanted a wide angle view you must use a fish eye lens, which despite the best efforts by manufactures around the world usually means distorted edges. This is where Scallop imaging are doing things differently by distributing the imaging task among multiple smaller sensors and computationally combining their outputs in the camera itself. This approach means that if you want higher resolution, use more cameras focused on the same area, want truly panoramic shots, position multiple cameras whose images overlap in the processing unit.
One thing they have kept with tradition in is providing excellent customer support with a website that boasts a fully featured FAQ section along with a documents library for all their products. They also have a friendly customer support team ready to take your call and offer you pre and post-sale service that is second to none.

I don't really think anyone much wants intimate details unless there is a special understanding betweens partners. I prefer to be honest with grown up and teenage kids because I think it is damaging to the relationship with them if you preach one thing and then go and do another. I wouldn't do anything that I would be ashamed to share with them. On the other hand I don't ram anything down their throats. My girls don't approve of polyamory and it has probably come between us somewhat but I would rather have that than be living a lie. This is after all who I am and I would want them to be honest with me about their lives even if they make choices I don't necessarily agree with.
I am in a MFM triad. We have been a triad for over a year now. We have two adult kids (they came w me, they are my children from a previous marriage), one whom is 20 and married and living on her own, another a son,18, whom has recently moved back into our family home due to finding out the world is alot harder than he thought on his own...
Our daughter seems to be pretty ok with our triad, she asks me all the time how "daddy" and "dad" are doing when we have conversations..etc. To avoid confusion, "daddy" is the step father whom she has known since she was 8... "dad" is my significant other, who also happens to be both of my kids "God-Father" and has known both of the kids since birth.
It is the boy that seems to have more issue with our triad. Before he moved out he knew about our triad and never said one thing about it.. he moved out at 18, and then has had to move back home due to finding out the world is not as he thought it would be. Since being back in the family home he and I have had some heated discussions about the triad. On numerous occassions he has said that "ppl he hangs with" dont agree with our triad... so that tells me he has apparently talked to his peers about it.. I recognise that he seems to have an issue with this triad, but bottom line, I feel it is best to be honest about it than to lie to him and damage our relationship due to lies. Currently our relationship is a little strained, but I would rather have that than live a lie.
Most recently he has become very disrespectful of myself and SO... and has become very opinionated and disrespectful of our relationship.. to the point I want so badly to tell him that my relationships are frankly none of his business and that as long as he lives in my house, he will maintain a respectful attitude and mannerism toward those living in this house... what would you do in this situation? How would you handle it?
Remember, he's not a kid you have to take care of anymore. He's an adult grubbing off of you. If he's that disrespectful, it means he is ungrateful. Not only should he be paying you rent, he should keep his judgments and opinions to himself.
I sincerely hope he doesn't have you doing his laundry, too.

I'd stand my ground firmly while letting him know that I'm sensitive to his feelings and thoughts, fears and hopes, or whatever. And I'd encourage him to talk openly about his feelings, worries....
I'd speak from my heart about my own needs, concerns, fears, worries..., and let him know that while I deeply respect my son's needs and wants, I'm going to have to live my own life as I see fit, it being my own life after all. But I'd also be clear that I have empathy and compassion for my son in this situation.
Much depends on whether he generally has treated you with respect and consideration. If not, some of the above may need slight modification. You may have to tell him to stay out of your business and insist that he treat all of the family with respect, even if it isn't felt on his part. In this way, you'd definitely be treating him like a child, rather as a young adult.

Every evening for the past couple of weeks I have dreaded the time that my son comes home.. in fact I hope every night that he comes in after my loving guys are home, because it means his (the sons) mouth remains firmly closed when the guys are around...usually. I hate that my son obviously does not love me enough to only care about my happiness whatever that may be... but it is the way it is.. I will continue to enjoy my life for the good things I have and the wonderful men that I am so lucky to have share my life... as for the son, I think it is getting to be time that he move on to his own place...
Thanks for putting that into perspective NYC...

For a little back ground history, my son has never been the most respectful to me while I was raising him anyhow, so he is merely continueing the behavior that he has always had toward me. Mind you, I have stuggled for years to correct his behavior and so has my hubby over the years, it is lately since the boy has gotten a gf and thinks he knows all the answers to life and that I should live my life as he sees fit, not how I see fit.
I do think we are at the point that next time his mouth gets to running like the dogs bowels after eating pork.... I may not be able to refrain from getting quite mean while saying it is none of his damn business... I do see your point about treating him as a child, I really dont want to have to do that, however, I fear he leaves me no choice due to his lack of respect for those living in the household and our relationships with eachother. Personally, I dont really care if he ever accepts this triad, it is not his life, it is mine and my partners lives to live and deal with... just wish the boy understood it is not really his place to make decisions for me regarding my life or to make waves in the life I choose to live.
More young people are living at home these days as work is getting a bit more scarce... it's not just your son.
What needs to be addressed the most is next time he says his friends don't approve of triads. Well, he needs to know that you don't really care what his friends think of anything, because they don't rule your life.
Teenagers are always very concerned about what their friends think, and it's part of growing up to stop caring about your peer's opinions and do what you want.

"Love is that condition in which another person's happiness is essential to your own." ~Robert Heinlein
As a teen myself [19], I'd like to chip in. First off, the teen bashing is great. =P Even I've been guilty of acting that way at times, though I always try better myself. I won't let nature win. =] I live with my mum and she does wash my clothes, mainly just out of making it easier. There are 4 of us in the house. Together, our clothes actually make enough worth washing. Without, we would need at least a weeks worth of dirty clothes each to wash our own, and that would be assuming they were all in the same wash [colours, whites, certain odd materials]. So I don't feel that really hinders my life in the future. It helps that I do know how to wash my clothes.
Generally food is bought for me, by both my mum and my partner. I do like to cook myself though. Especially when in this house. My partner often enjoys cooking at her house... But back to the main topic at hand...
Tell your children. Straight up. Answer their questions. I think if they weren't brought up with it, or haven't known about it all their lives [the latter of which I find bizarre if you've been poly all their lives], they may find it hard. But if they can't be respectful of your choices, they would certainly be gone from my house.

Hurley v. JonesAnnotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Hurley v. Jones, 97 U.S. 318 (1877)
Hurley v. Jones
1. When a cause, reached in its regular order upon the docket, has, under Rule 16, been dismissed by reason of the appellant's nonappearance, for which no just cause existed, it will not, over the objection of the appellee, be reinstated.
2. In view of the crowded state of the docket, the Court announces its determination to enforce rigidly the rule requiring causes to be ready for hearing when they are reached.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the Court.
When this cause was reached in its order upon the docket, there being no appearance by the appellant, the appellee had him called and the appeal dismissed under Rule 16. Our rules require that, "upon the filing of the transcript of a record brought up by writ of error or appeal, the appearance of counsel for the plaintiff in error or appellant shall be entered." Rule 9, par. 3. This rule was adopted for the purpose of making some attorney of the court responsible for the due prosecution of the suit, and it was intended for something more than mere form. Parties should understand that they are represented here by their counsel, and that notice to counsel is ordinarily equivalent to notice to themselves.
This cause was docketed here nearly two years and a half before it was called. The attorney of record seems to have done all he was expected to do. But the appellant himself was so unmindful of his interests, that he did not know the counsel, upon whom he relied for the presentation of his case, had died before the commencement of the present term, and had been unable to attend to business on account of impaired health for a long time before his death. In the crowded state of our docket, filled with cases from all parts of the United States, it is our duty to take special care that the necessary delays in
disposing of the business are not added to by the neglect of counsel or parties. For this reason, our rules requiring causes to be ready for hearing when reached are, and will continue to be, rigidly enforced.
Motion denied.

Autoregressive Models with Sample Selectivity for Panel Data
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to formulate procedures for the analysis of the time series behaviour of micro panel data subject to censoring. We assume an autoregressive model with random effects for a latent variable which is only partly observed due to a selection mechanism. Our methods are based on the observation that the subsamples which only include individuals without censored past observations are exogenously selected for the purpose conditional on its past. We apply these methods to analyze the dynamics of female labour supply and wages using PSID data.

In Reply to: A story of a young ukrainian women posted by Valya on February 02, 2001 at 08:52:37:
Yes, the average wage of a working person is only $30 to $40 per month, and more and more people cannot find work and are beginning to starve to death, then comes along a foreigner like me with $200 or more in his pocket. The temptation to take his cash away from him by force is almost too much. I have spent a few months in Cherkassy Ukraine and the situation is getting worse by the month down there. I have heard gun shots at night. Now the power stations are running out of gas because they cannot pay their bills, so the heat is running out and now a very powerful Infuenza epidemic is beginning to spread across Ukraine like a hand of death resulting in school closures even in Kiev. I am going to Ukraine next week to pick up my wife and bring her here to North America, and I plan to spend as little time there in that hell-hole as I can. In the future I plan to be sending money to Ukraine so that my wife's relatives will be able to live without too much hardship.
My advice to anyone thinking of travelling to Ukraine: Don't travel alone, and don't travel at night !

(SAVANNAH, GA.) – The Georgia Department of Transportation today awarded a $67.5 million contract for construction of the fifth and final phase of the Harry S. Truman Parkway. Work should begin this spring or summer on the extension from Whitefield Avenue to Abercorn Street with completion anticipated by 2014.
Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc., of Wilmington, NC, was awarded the contract, valued at $67,494,183, to extend the four-lane divided highway the final two miles, which will include building bridges across the Wilshire Canal and Vernon River.
"The Department is delighted that we finally can finish this important project," Georgia DOT Commissioner Vance C. Smith. Jr., said. "The Truman Parkway has become a vital component of providing both better mobility and economic development for Savannah and Chatham County. Obviously, it's taken us awhile to get to this point. Local officials and legislators have been steadfast in their support and that helped enormously in keeping the parkway at the forefront of our priorities."
"We would like to thank the members of our legislative delegation, Georgia DOT Commissioner Vance C. Smith and the members of the State Transportation Board for providing the funds to finally complete the fifth phase of the Truman Parkway," Chatham County Commission Chairman Pete Liakakis said. "This project will be both a terrific boost to our infrastructure and to our local economy."
The concept of the Truman Parkway has been discussed and under consideration since the mid-1960s. Construction began in 1990 and that first phase, from DeRenne Avenue to Henry Street, opened in 1993. Phase Two, from Henry to President Street, followed in 1997; DeRenne to Montgomery Cross Road constituted Phase Three and opened in 2004; Phase Four from Eisenhower Drive to Whitefield Avenue opened in 2005. The total cost for these four segments was approximately $95 million.
