The Final Rule implementing the Pathways Programs has been published. It will take effect as of July 10, 2012. Agencies may continue to use the existing student and Presidential Management Fellows hiring authorities until the effective date of the Final Rule. The Recent Graduates Program will become available to agencies after the effective date of the Final Rule and the agency's completion of a memorandum of understanding with OPM.
The Federal Government values the contributions made by students and recent graduates of all ages and backgrounds. We have been placed at a competitive disadvantage, though, compared to other sectors in recruiting and hiring students and recent graduates. To address these difficulties, President Obama signed Executive Order 13562 , entitled "Recruiting and Hiring Students and Recent Graduates," on December 27, 2010.
This Executive order established two new programs and modified another. They are the Internship Program for current students; the Recent Graduates Program for people who have recently graduated from qualifying educational institutions or programs (2 years from the date the graduate completed an academic course of study); and the reinvigorated Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program for people who obtained an advanced degree (e.g., graduate or professional degree) within the preceding two years. These programs, collectively the Pathways Programs, are streamlined developmental programs tailored to promote employment opportunities for students and recent graduates in the Federal workforce.
As directed by the Executive order, OPM issued a final Pathways Rule to implement these programs. The final rule aims to improve recruiting efforts, offer clear paths to Federal internships for students from high school through post-graduate school and to careers for recent graduates, and to provide meaningful training and career development opportunities for individuals who are at the beginning of their Federal service.
The Internship Program is for current students. It replaces the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). The new Internship Program provides students in high schools, colleges, trade schools and other qualifying educational institutions with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while completing their education.
The Recent Graduates Program provides developmental experiences in the Federal Government. It is intended to promote possible careers in the civil service to individuals who, within the previous two years, graduated from qualifying educational institutions with an associates, bachelors, masters, professional, doctorate, vocational or technical degree or certificate from qualifying educational institutions. To be eligible, applicants must apply within the previous two years of degree or certificate completion except for veterans precluded from doing so due to their military service obligation, who will have up to six years after degree or certificate completion to apply. For more information about Federal employment information for veterans, go to OPM's Feds Hire Vets website.
For more than three decades, the PMF Program has been the Federal Government's premier leadership development program for advanced degree (e.g., masters or professional degree) candidates. Executive Order 13562 expands the eligibility window for applicants, making it more "student friendly" by aligning it with academic calendars and allowing those who have received a qualifying advanced degree within the preceding two years to participate. It also directs OPM to set eligibility requirements and minimum qualification standards, and to make the PMF experience more robust and substantive for participants.

The Internship Program replaces the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). This Program is designed to provide students enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions, from high school to graduate level, with opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school and while getting paid for the work performed. Students who successfully complete the program may be eligible for conversion to a permanent job in the civil service. Additional information about the Internship Program can be found at USAJOBS. Here are some key provisions of the Internship Program.

The Recent Graduates Program affords developmental experiences in the Federal Government intended to promote possible careers in the civil service to individuals who have recently graduated from qualifying educational institutions or programs. To be eligible, applicants must apply within two years of degree or certificate completion (except for veterans precluded from doing so due to their military service obligation, who have up to six years after degree completion to apply). Successful applicants are placed in a dynamic, developmental program with the potential to lead to a civil service career in the Federal Government. The program lasts for 1 year (unless the training requirements of the position warrant a longer and more structured training program). Here are some key provisions of the Recent Graduates Program.
The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is a flagship leadership development program at the entry-level for advanced degree candidates. Created more than three decades ago, the program attracts and selects from among the best candidates and is designed to develop a cadre of potential Federal Government leaders. Here are some key provisions of the PMF Program.
The following lists some of the documents referenced in the final regulations.

i just dont like it at all. big thumbs down.
What is this? The poor quality has spilled out of the Misc or something?

pink-kitty2 if you dont want to talk about condiments you can just leave ok
I have to agree with you God. Mayonaise is pretty disgusting.
thank you for keeping the discussion about condiments star, unlike pink-kitty2 and her spam
You're very welcome God. Mayonaise smells like glue, which makes it even disgusting to be near.
Mayo is so nasty, the only time I've ever liked it is on a Chicken Burger.
Miracle Whip is even grosser, it's like someone put fucking sugar into a bottle of Mayo. Bleh!
For Lord Dagon forever reborn in blood and fire from the Waters of Oblivion
Yech, I've really grown to hate mayonaise since I got here... seriously, they put it on EVERYTHING. And loads of it. Just imagine...
You go to a burger joint and order a cheeseburger. You haven't eaten all day and you just got done all of your Christmas shopping. After a few minutes the waitress brings out your burger. Eagerly, you chomp down on the scrumptious-looking burger, only to be assaulted by an overwhelming wave of white sauce. You use your napkin to try and whipe off the bucket-load of mayo that they put on the burer, but alas! It has already soaked into the bun and your burger is ruined!
Thank God it was just a dollar.
True story. I hate mayo.
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.
It's because no one's bothered to just stop posting.

In 1929, on his return from a much-needed winter holiday in Italy, Holst set twelve of Wolfe's poems for high voice and piano. Apart from the Four Songs for voice and violin (composed in 1917) they were the first solo songs he had written for more than twenty years, and they reveal a lyricism and warmth often absent from his music. At their first performance in Paris they were grouped together under the title of The Dream-City. But they were not intended to form a cycle, and were published by Augener (after three other publishers had rejected them) as individual songs.
My intention in orchestrating ten of the songs was specifically to create an orchestral song-cycle, and so I have in a few places composed linking material. This is most in evidence in the third part of the work where the three songs play without a break. I have joined the first song (which is slightly expanded) to the second, and the third to the fourth. But in the second part, the work's centre of gravity, the three poems remain separate.
The music is scored more elaborately, perhaps, than Holst might have allowed himself. But, bearing in mind the pianistic nature of the original, I hope that the result is as close to the spirit of the music as a conscious attempt to recreate Holst's own orchestral idiom would be.

A woman's sexual desires naturally fluctuate over the years. Highs and lows commonly coincide with the beginning or end of a relationship or with major life changes, such as pregnancy, menopause or illness. Some antidepressants and anti-seizure medications also can cause low sex drive in women.
If you have a persistent or recurrent lack of interest in sex that causes you personal distress, you may have hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
But you don't have to meet this medical definition to seek help. If you are bothered by a low sex drive or decreased sex drive, there are lifestyle changes and sex techniques that may put you in the mood more often. Some medications may offer promise as well.
If you want to have sex less often than your partner does, neither one of you is necessarily outside the norm for people at your stage in life — although your differences may cause distress. Similarly, even if your sex drive is weaker than it once was, your relationship may be stronger than ever. Bottom line: There is no magic number to define low sex drive. It varies from woman to woman.
If you're bothered by your low desire for sex, talk to your doctor. The solution could be as simple as changing the type of antidepressant you take.
A woman's desire for sex is based on a complex interaction of many components affecting intimacy, including physical well-being, emotional well-being, experiences, beliefs, lifestyle and current relationship. If you're experiencing a problem in any of these areas, it can affect your sexual desire.
A wide range of illnesses, physical changes and medications can cause a low sex drive, including:
Changes in your hormone levels may alter your desire for sex. This can occur during:
Your problems don't have to be physical or biological to be real. There are many psychological causes of low sex drive, including:
For many women, emotional closeness is an essential prelude to sexual intimacy. So problems in your relationship can be a major factor in low sex drive. Decreased interest in sex is often a result of ongoing issues, such as:
Primary care doctors and gynecologists often ask about sex and intimacy as part of a routine medical visit. Take this opportunity to be candid about your sexual concerns. If your doctor doesn't broach the subject, bring it up. You may feel embarrassed to talk about sex with your doctor, but this topic is perfectly appropriate. In fact, your sexual satisfaction is a vital part of your overall health and well-being.
To prepare for this discussion with your doctor:
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor will ask questions about the symptoms you're experiencing and assess your hormonal status. Questions your doctor may ask include:
By definition, you may be diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire disorder if you frequently lack sexual thoughts or desire, and the absence of these feelings causes you personal distress. Whether you fit this medical diagnosis or not, your doctor can look for reasons that your sex drive isn't as high as you'd like and find ways to help.
In addition to asking you questions about your medical history, your doctor may also:
Most women benefit from a treatment approach aimed at the many causes behind this condition. Recommendations may include sex education, counseling and sometimes medication.
Your doctor will want to evaluate the medications you're already taking, to see if any of them tend to cause sexual side effects. For example, antidepressants such as paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva) and fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem) often lower sex drive. Switching to bupropion (Aplenzin, Wellbutrin) — a different variety of antidepressant — usually improves sex drive.
Talking with a sex therapist or counselor skilled in addressing sexual concerns can help with low sex drive. Therapy often includes education about sexual response and techniques and recommendations for reading materials or couples' exercises.
Estrogen delivered throughout your whole body — by pill, patch or gel — can have a positive effect on brain function and mood factors that affect sexual response. But this systemic estrogen therapy may increase your risk of heart disease and breast cancer.
Smaller doses of estrogen — in the form of a vaginal cream or a slow-releasing suppository or ring that you place in your vagina — can increase blood flow to the vagina and help improve desire without the risks associated with systemic estrogen. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe a combination of estrogen and progesterone.
Male hormones, such as testosterone, play an important role in female sexual function, even though testosterone occurs in much lower amounts in women. However, replacing testosterone in women is controversial and it's not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for sexual dysfunction in women. Plus, it can cause acne, excess body hair, and mood or personality changes.
Healthy lifestyle changes can make a big difference in your desire for sex:
Low sex drive can be very difficult for you and your partner. It's natural to feel frustrated or sad if you aren't able to be as sexy and romantic as you want — or you used to be. At the same time, low sex drive can make your partner feel rejected, which can lead to conflicts and strife. And this type of relationship turmoil can further reduce desire for sex.
It may help to remember that fluctuations in your sex drive are a normal part of every relationship and every stage of life. Try not to focus all of your attention on sex. Instead, spend some time nurturing yourself and your relationship. Go for a long walk. Get a little extra sleep. Kiss your partner goodbye before you head out the door. Make a date night at your favorite restaurant. Feeling good about yourself and your partner can actually be the best foreplay.

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon sugar (for dessert crepes; optional) 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 large eggs 1/2 cup 1% milk 2 teaspoons butter, melted, or canola oil 1/2 cup seltzer water or club soda Preparation1. Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar (if using), salt, eggs, milk and butter (or oil) in a food processor or blender; process until smooth, scraping the sides once or twice. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. 2. Slowly whisk seltzer water (or club soda) into the crepe batter. Lightly oil a small nonstick skillet with a crumpled paper towel; heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Ladle about 2 tablespoons batter into the skillet with a small ladle or measuring cup; immediately tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom. 3. Cook the crepe until the underside is lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Using a small metal spatula or a fork, lift the edge of the crepe, quickly grasp it with your fingers and flip. Cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 20 seconds longer. Slide the crepe onto a plate. 4. If serving immediately, fill and roll or fold the crepe. Continue to cook crepes with the remaining batter, oiling the pan as needed and stacking crepes as you go. Variations: Buckwheat Crepes: Substitute buckwheat flour for the whole-wheat flour. Fill with sautéed apples or smoked salmon and cream cheese. Cornmeal Crepes: Substitute cornmeal for the whole-wheat flour. Try with a spicy chili or with blueberries and cream cheese.

Pants On The Ground, the song performed by Atlanta resident Larry Platt during his American Idol audition, has shot to fame to become a YouTube sensation. But the song's YouTube power is just the beginning.
The hysteria over 62-year-old "General" Platt's song has spread into endless parodies, and may even rival the likes of William Hung's infamous off-key audition performance of Ricky Martin's hit She Bangs.
When asked what inspired the song that is now sweeping the US, Platt replied: "I was walking one day, and [I saw] a guy with a baby bottle in his mouth, and he had his pants on the ground. And that's what gave me the inspiration."
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre was filmed chanting the lyrics to the song with teammates after leading his team to a victory over the Dallas Cowboys on January 17. Singer Brandon Gray also paid homage to Platt with his own acoustic spin on the tune.
"I think this song all touched us greatly. While this isn't even close to the amazingness of the original Pants on the Ground, it's my little attempt at covering this classic song," he said.
Jimmy Fallon parodied the performance on his late night show, crooning it while pulling off a Neil Young impersonation.
Platt is a veteran of the 1960s civil rights movement, and reportedly took part in the infamous 1965 "Bloody Sunday" march in Alabama from Selma to Birmingham, with the late Dr Martin Luther King Jr. He rocketed to fame last week when American Idol aired his audition during the show's season nine premiere.

I am really happy to get my first sensei.i'm too exited now
waiting for my sensei yahoo.
Hey. ^_^
So, why do you want to learn Fire and how do you personally plan on using it?
Well i have konohamaru bio,so his basic element is fire.so i wanna use it like him. And i just wanna be like him no giving up ,plz can we start our training?
:roll eyes: countin the hours for ya sensei..
Last edited by Paintry4; 12-10-2012 at 02:47 AM.
I have about 80 threads, so it takes me some time to go through them.
Okay, decent start.
Let's begin with the basic stuff.
What might be the weaknesses and strengths of fire, and how might you utilize them?
Well thanks for the start
katon(fire) element is the basic element of ninja world which weakness is water and it's strength is air.so a ninja uses fire element by gathering chakra from his/her stomach to his/her chest and blowing it by exhaling large amount of air.fire with air chakra can be devastating.
Last edited by Paintry4; 12-10-2012 at 09:08 AM.
What of its weaknesses and strengths?
Fire strength is that we can use it for offensive and can easily win fuuton element users and its weaknesses are it's useless against water element users.and fire can be used as short mid and long ranged so its strength. And others plz teach me i dont know. Sorry plz teach me aout the ranks such as s-rank,b-rank,a-rank,c-rank.i dont know about it.if you dont mind.
Last edited by Paintry4; 12-10-2012 at 11:36 PM.
I can teach you, no worries.
Basically, the higher the letter, the stronger the jutsu.
So, Fire is strong against Wind.
If your opponent sends a C-Rank Wind jutsu at you, and you send a C-Rank Fire jutsu back at him, the Fire jutsu would overcome the Wind jutsu, and absorb it, becoming a B-Raank jutsu.
Thank you sensei! Now i know about it. I will now train with all my might with you.and be a great katon user .lets start with real jutsus,shall we?
Last edited by Paintry4; 12-11-2012 at 02:07 PM.
So, come sit by me at this campfire.
Proceed to observe and feel the Fire and then tell me how you think Fire chakra might flow.
Ok sensei<sitting near sensei near fire>.This fire is warm and oh i'm feeling one-ness in this fire.This fire is flowing from bottom to top so calmly.
so fire chakra also flow like this from inner body to surface with swift flow of warmness and blast of heat.
Ah...how interesting...
A good start. ^_^
So, to begin with, I want you to start focusing your Fire Affinity Chakra in your body then. Think of the campfire. Focus the chakra from the inside of your body (as many of the jutsus will require inward chakra to start with) and then build it up within your mouth to release a small fireball. Maintain the chakra and also form it in your body.
Okay sensei
* I closed my eyes and concentrate towards my inner body chakra.Thinking of camp fire i inhale air inside my lungs and I accumulate my fire chakra in my chest.I formed the shape of chakra inside me and imagined it's shape at outside atmoshphere.
I controlled that fire-chakra and blow it while exhaling air.Small fire ball formed and dissappeared.
Oh wow sensei.it's pretty.but that fire-ball got to be bigger than that .
Last edited by Paintry4; 12-12-2012 at 07:56 AM.
It's good for a first try! ^_^
Alright, well, attempt it once more, however, maintain it long enough to direct it at my clone.
Be specific on where you aim it and the impact.
Ok sensei i will not let you down this time.
Again i concentrated my chakra from my belly inhaling a lot amount of air this time and bring the mass amount of chakra in my chest and form my inner chakra.then finally aiming at your clone's chest i blew my mass amount of chakra which produce a big ball of fire and turned your clone into ashes and **pufff** your clone dissapered.
Yesss sensei i dit it. Yahoo
Congrats on your first jutsu. ^_^

Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user shoots balls of fire at the opponent.
Okay, let's talk about the Shuriken just a bit.
What do you know about it and how would you use it in a battle?
Thank you sensei for my first jutsu.
Shuriken are one of the ninja tools.They are especially four pronged metal stars with sharpened edges.They are used for distractions,pin down a enemy and if used accurate it can be deadly.
Shurikens can also be used as great attacks when also mixed with fires which was also used by Itachi and sasuke.
Perfect. Note that they are small as well, and many can be tossed at once, unlike the kunai.
Proceed to take out some Shurikens, infuse them with fire, and then throw them at my clone. How would the attacks affect my clone compared to a regular shuriken?
Remember to be detailed.
Okay(hush!) sensei.
I looked into your clone's eye.
I collected 3 shurikens from my pocket and collected mass fire-chakra into my chest while inhaling air and as soon as i threw shurikens i blew my fire ball that eventually mixed with shurikens making them fire-shurikens.
My 3 shurikens pierced your clone rite into it's middle belly,chest and one in throat.Making it burn severly in less than 10 sec and dissappear.whoo!! i exclaimed, if that would be regular shuriken then that would only make your clone injure a bit but shuriken with fire are more dangerous and fatal that makes the enemy injure and burn the wounded area so fast.
Yo sensei.., it's really great to learn with you. (^_^)
o_o Well done. Remember that aim plays a huge part on the effects of your moves as well.

Wow thank you sensei.(^_^)
hand seals in ninja world are kept in the name of chinese calender months and are especially name of animals.These hand signs enables the chakra flowing all over the body to accumulate in one part of the body.
There are total 12 basic hand signs.It is said that more intelligent/high-level ninja the less amount of hand signs are required to be done.
Excellent response. Remember that when you master a technique, you may be able to use it with just a single handseal, much like Chidori with the Ox seal only.
So, let's discuss the use of this in battle. Say your opponent had a jutsu that required five handseals, but yours' required three only. How might this affect both of you in battle?
When my Opponent who have a jutsu having 5 hand seal consumes more time to perform a jutsu and in ninja world there's no place for slow ninja and as i'll have only 3 hand seals to perform i can perform it much more faster and attact him and bring him to fatal condition.
Well put. Keep in mind the timing whenever battling with someone else, especially how many handseals their jutsus require compared to yours.
Now, proceed to form the handseals of Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger, and focus fire chakra within your body. Remember how gas is formed, a bunch of molecules that bounce off of one another. Release the fire chakra in the form of gas, allowing it to travel a good range to my clone before you ignite it in a creative way.
Describe the impact.
I bowed my head inorder to salute you and concentrate myself performing hand-seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger and focus my fire chakra within my body and focused my mind on producing gas.I exhaled my raw chakra molecules bouncing over moleclues from my mouth and let flow it towards your clone and when your clone is covered from my gas molecules i rubbed my teeth and ignited it through a spark and all of a sudden it explode making a mass fire cloud. That eventually made your clone burn severly and dissappear.If it was a person they would have been turned into ashes.

Town of Waukesha approves Dunkin' Donuts on Sunset
A Dunkin' Donuts will be coming to the Town of Waukesha.
After a decision was delayed last month after seeing preliminary plans, the Town Board followed the Plan Commission's recommendation at last night's meeting and approved a 5,040 square-foot multi-tenant retail building that will house the doughnut shop at S30 W24836 Sunset Drive, Town Chairwoman Angie Van Scyoc said Friday.
The Dunkin' Donuts proposal was brought back to the Plan Commission and Town Board because of traffic and safety concerns they and neighbors had.
The Town Board and the Plan Commission's approval was based on confirmation of the allowance of the drive-through. The names of the other tenants to occupy that space have not been released.
Van Scyoc said the property still has to be purchased so a date of when it will open is to be determined.» Read Full Article
Waukesha adjusts timeline for Great Lakes water, won't meet radium-compliance deadline
The city of Waukesha had been under a court-ordered deadline to have radium-compliant water by 2018.
But city officials admit the preliminary steps in the process just in having its application approved have taken much longer than anticipated.
As a result, city officials said last week they will not meet the deadline and will request an extension for final radium compliance.
"At the time the radium deadline was agreed to, none of the parties knew how long an application for Great Lakes water would take," City Administrator Ed Henschel said in a memo released Nov. 18 that was also signed by Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak, City Attorney Brian Running and Don Gallo, a local attorney who has been working with the city on its application.
Henschel said "various factors" led to the city seeking an extension. The city's revised application was sent to the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in October 2013.» Read Full Article
Late turnovers lead Menasha past Waukesha West in Division 2 state championship
Right up until the final quarter of the 2014 football season, Waukesha West was on a championship run.
Menasha used turnovers to its advantage in a fourth-quarter splurge to secure its first state championship and send Waukesha West to a 35-17 defeat at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on Nov. 21 in the Division 2 state-title game.
The big blow came on West's second play from scrimmage in the final period, with the Wolverines trailing 21-17 but in possession of the ball after a 3-and-out stop. Quarterback Conor Blount's short play-action pass over the middle fell right into the waiting arms of Menasha's Dominic Seifert, who went 32 yards the other way to give Menasha a 28-17 edge.
Two plays later, West fumbled again, and Menasha standout quarterback Tyler Johnson ran the ball on each of the next four snaps, capped by a 26-yard touchdown run that put the game out of reach.
It was a sudden turn of events at a time when it appeared West was gaining the upper hand. Freshman Peter MacCudden, who scored both West touchdowns on short runs in the first half, made his own game-changing play at the 7:30 mark of the third quarter. Johnson completed a pass to Emanuel Jenkins for a 4th and 5 conversion from the West 28, but upon arrival at the 4-yard line, MacCudden stripped the ball away and recovered the loose ball to give the Wolverines possession.» Read Full Article

Waukesha West takes on Menasha in Division 2 state final
For the third time in 11 years and second time in five years, the Waukesha West football team is in a state final game.
The Wolverines hope their trip to Camp Randall Stadium ends the same way the other two ended: with a state title.
Standing in its way of a Division 2 championship is Menasha, champions out of the Bay Conference, an undefeated squad making its first appearance in a state championship final.
The Division 2 state final is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Camp Randall Stadium. The game is televised on Fox Sports Wisconsin.
Both teams punched their tickets to Madison with one-point victories last week. West edged Waunakee, 21-20, in a state semifinal game and had to withstand a late two-point conversion try and last-second field goal attempt.» Read Full Article
Fast start propels Catholic Memorial past Menomonee Falls in girls basketball opener
The Menomonee Falls girls basketball team will clearly be a work in progress this season.
Slowed by early season injuries, the Indians got off to a difficult start against visiting Catholic Memorial Thursday night in their season opener and despite some strong moments, fell to the Crusaders by a 54-42 count.
"Take away the bad start (an 18-4 first quarter deficit) and we did do some good things," said Indian coach Craig Amundson. "What I really liked throughout the game was our work ethic. I was proud of our kids."
The Indians, who will also travel to Nicolet for a 7:30 p.m. tilt on Saturday, will have to be patient until they can get healthier. They had three top-flight freshmen last season in a rebuilding year, but one of them, NCAA recruit soccer player Kylie Sprecher, is out for the season already, while another Marissa Igunbor, was just recently cleared from to practice after struggling with her own health issues and was unavailable yet for Thursday's game.
The third, 5-7 ssophomore Madison Grzesiak, did lead the Indians with 17 points this night and got great help from 6-0 freshman post Jessica Boerner, who contributed 15.» Read Full Article
Waukesha concedes it can't meet deadline for radium-free water
officials concede in a memo prepared in response to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel inquiry.Waukesha will be unable to comply with a court-ordered deadline of June 2018 to provide radium-safe water to its customers and will ask for an extension of at least two additional years, city
More than four years after the city submitted a precedent-setting request to divert Lake Michigan water across the subcontinental divide, the application remains under state review and has not even been forwarded to the other Great Lakes states for their consideration.
Even if Wisconsin and the other seven states approve the plan by this time next year, the earliest date for completing construction of a new water supply service is the summer of 2020, according to the memo written by Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak and other officials. The memo was distributed this week to the Waukesha Common Council and Water Commission after the Journal Sentinel filed public records requests on Nov. 13 and sought comment from Duchniak on the need for an extension.
To comply with the court order, the city would stop using deep wells drawing radium-contaminated water from sandstone once a new supply is available.
Despite delays in the application process, Waukesha is not reconsidering its Lake Michigan diversion request, officials confirm in the memo. Cost of the lake water supply is estimated at $206 million.» Read Full Article

Girl charged in Slender Man case to get another competency hearing
For the second time, a 12-year-old girl charged with trying to kill a classmate to impress the fictional character Slender Man will have her mental state discussed in court by experts.
Morgan Geyser was found incompetent in August after a doctor and psychologist revealed that she still believed in Slender Man and unicorns, thought she could communicate with the Harry Potter villain Lord Voldemort and may suffer from an undiagnosed mental illness.
After weeks of treatment at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute, Geyser had regained legal competency — her ability to fully understand the charges against her and aid in her own defense — according to a state psychiatrist's report.
On Tuesday, however, her attorney, Anthony Cotton, said he challenges that conclusion and asked for another full hearing on that issue. Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren set a date for a competency hearing on Dec. 18, the same day as a similar hearing for co-defendant Anissa Weier.
That is when the state psychiatrist, Kenneth Casimir, and defense experts would testify about changes in Geyser's situation, leaving the ultimate decision of whether she's ready to proceed to Bohren.» Read Full Article

Paul Farrow announces for Waukesha County executive
Madison — State Sen. Paul Farrow is running for Waukesha County executive, while Rep. Dale Kooyenga has decided he will not seek the position.
Farrow, a Pewaukee Republican and the son of former Lt. Gov. Margaret Farrow, announced his plans late Thursday, after news emerged that County Executive Dan Vrakas would not seek re-election.
"We have proved time and time again, that our pursuit of lower taxes, community involvement, and electing good stewards of the public trust helps build strong communities and a county that we are all proud of," Farrow said in a written statement announcing his plans. "I look forward to continuing that tradition if I have the honor to serve as county executive."
Kooyenga, a Brookfield Republican, said Friday he had been encouraged to run but decided against it.

Vrakas to retire as Waukesha County exec, sparking likely GOP tussle
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas announced Thursday that he won't be running for re-election in the spring.
The announcement comes some eight months after Vrakas made public the fact that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He completed treatment in 10 weeks and returned to work full time in June.
Word of Vrakas' impending retirement announcement had several leading Waukesha Republicans scrambling to gauge and, in some cases, lock up support for what will be an open seat. The general election for the nonpartisan office is to be held in April.
Heading the list of potential candidates are Sen. Paul Farrow, a Pewaukee Republican, and Rep. Dale Kooyenga, a Republican from Brookfield. Both are considered rising stars in the party.
"I would say that Farrow is probably the favorite, but this is incredibly early," said one Waukesha Republican. "Dan hasn't even announced that he's not running."» Read Full Article
Waukesha County keeps taxes flat in 2015 budget
The Waukesha County Board on Wednesday adopted a final 2015 budget with an increase of slightly less than 1% to the general property tax levy.
The total levy stands at $100.49 million for 2015, up $987,100 from this year.
The property tax rate needed to generate the 2015 levy is $2.08 per $1,000 of equalized valuation, down seven cents from this year. The decrease in the rate coupled with a rise in property values will result in no change in the county portion of the December tax bills for most homeowners.
The tax rate and levy were unchanged from the budget recommended by County Executive Dan Vrakas.
Vrakas praised the board for approving a budget that does not increase the property tax burden on homeowners. The final budget "maintains our role as a low tax leader in the state," Vrakas said.» Read Full Article
Waukesha Common Council approves a 2.73 percent tax levy increase for 2015
Waukesha taxpayers will pay more on the city portion of their tax bill in 2015.
The tax levy will be $54.55 million, a 2.73 percent increase from 2014, according to figures provided by city of Waukesha Finance Director Richard Abbott. The common council approved the tax levy increase on Nov. 11.
Abbott said the tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value is $10.43 for 2015, up from $10.19 in 2014. This means a homeowner with an assessed value of $200,000 will pay $2,086 on the city portion of their tax bill, up $48 from 2014.
Pay factor in hike
The total operating budget was about $60.6 million, about a 2.29 percent increase from 2014, which met the Expenditure Restraint Program requirements for limiting spending, Abbott said.» Read Full Article

Post subject: lag 50K/FC5 Help !! (like topic "Development Framework.
Hi all !
Since FC1 i'm making my own distro - but in FC5 they changed the building procedure and i can't get it run ;-(.
Yes, i'm using createrepo - but i recognized that in pkgorder only my re- or new-build RPMs have the right "relativepath" - all others don't.
I changed the "relativepath" line in pkgorder and build the RPM-Name by "name-version-rel.arch.rpm" - now i get install-images but after starting anaconda in graphical mode, it can't find vesamodes ...
I think, i do not use createrepo the right way - how do you make the 49,999.999999-Blag distro ?
Thanks for every reply

I dont have access to the buildsystem at this very second. If I forget to answer this later, re-ping this thread.
We have docs on the wiki:
This is, of course, out-of-date. Before 50k final is out, I'll make sure it gets a refresh....
Do you redistribute your version? Can you give us any info? :)

Hi !
Thank you for the Link (Blag50k-Wiki) - i read it already - but there are no scripts or links to ...
I looked on
In the past i did not redistribute my version (just put some paintings from my daughter into fedora-logos, add mp3/dvd/xine/sun-java/fonts/old dosprogs/dosemu AND mono! etc. into distri) but shared it with the family and friends.
The method was the same as everywhere explained.
But now i'm thinking about a "build-system" - so i would have some repos: RPMS.multimedia, dos, artwork-private, artwork-?? etc. and hope to have (someday) a script like:
makedistro --look="children" --repos="free" ...
When i have my first FC5-based distro running i'll post the script [i playing around this since 1 week !?+#]
Greetings from Berlin

I was working on assembling a set of the build scripts we use lately, but I don't seem to have access to my area of the FTP server at this point (we're doing 30k development). We should release a copy of the build scripts at some point.

Rob Woodfork, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - For the second time this season, star Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was slow to get off the FedEx Field turf after a punishing hit at the end of a play in which he was running.
Unlike the previous injury (a concussion against the Falcons), the one we saw Sunday against the Ravens was a seemingly gruesome hit to RGIII's knee (or as we've called it on-air, "RG Knee") and could actually keep him out of the next game.
Luckily, we found out Monday from coach Mike Shanahan that the injury is a sprained LCL, not nearly as bad as it looked.
While that's great news for Redskins Nation, it is, however, touching off another wave of debates over whether Griffin should ever be put in position to take a hit like that in the first place.
One side says, "Stop running him! We finally have a franchise QB and we need to keep him upright!"
Meanwhile, the other side says, "Let him run. He's great at it, and it's the exciting brand of football we've never seen in Washington before now."
Put me in the latter category.
To me, this is a no-brainer. If you have a QB that just happens to (literally) be a world-class runner, you use that. It's a dimension nobody seems capable of stopping right now, and it's what makes RGIII such a rare talent. It's why you shipped three first-round picks and a second-rounder to St. Louis. It's part of why we've come to love this kid. He's electric, he's unique and he's ours.
Sure, you'd love to have Peyton Manning. But why settle for that when you can have Peyton Manning with Randall Cunningham athleticism?
Furthermore, what good is having a guy with speed and agility that makes you forget about Cunningham and Michael Vick if you're not going to use it?
This is football. In the pocket, out of the pocket ... hell, even on the sideline you can get hurt in an NFL game. (Remember Saints coach Sean Payton's leg injury last year?)
Yes, Vick struggles to stay healthy as a "running quarterback." But he doesn't protect himself out there. He dives head-first, runs to the middle of the field and rarely has a sense of when the play is over. Griffin is a pass-first QB that has the ability to run, and he's rapidly learning when to get out of bounds and when to slide when he's got nowhere left to run (though admittedly, his sliding needs a lot of work).
Remember how it ended the last time the Redskins had a franchise-caliber QB? Joe Theismann had the Hogs and still got his leg snapped in half standing behind one of the greatest offensive lines ever assembled.
Also, let's not ignore the fact that the NFL's two most high-profile QB injuries of the last five years happened in the pocket. Tom Brady wasn't in the midst of weaving through defenders to run for a first down in 2008. He was standing tall behind a wall of blockers when he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Peyton Manning didn't miss last season because he was decked on a run to the sideline last year. Last time I checked, he rarely leaves the pocket - the place where RGIII is supposedly "safe."
Plus, the Redskins offense has enjoyed plenty of success this year off the threat of the run. Having a QB with elite speed helps open up holes for running back Alfred Morris, freezes the defense when the 'Skins go to the run option plays and helps mask some of the deficiencies in the offensive line.
Right now, Griffin runs because he has to run. His play has camouflaged a lot of what ails the Redskins offense, and I'd say RGIII's running has won no less than four games for the Redskins this year. Perhaps when the 'Skins can build up their offensive line and get a couple more receiving targets, they can run a more conventional offense. For now, this works ... especially while the rest of the team has to compensate for a defense that has badly regressed.
Look, I hold my breath just like everyone else when RGIII takes a wicked hit. But I also know this is part of the game. I'd love to find a surefire way to preserve the long-awaited franchise quarterback, but we can't just encase him in bubble wrap.

The Redprint with Lisa Beehag
Pre-season is always a busy time of year. Not only are there hills to run, weights to lift, footwork drills to be completed and balls to be thrown, but there�s photo shoots, induction weekend and activities in the form of touch football and a cook-off. nswswifts.com.au caught up with NSW Swifts Head Coach Lisa Beehag for the latest from inside the Swifts camp...
The NSW Swifts headed south last weekend for their Induction Weekend. Whilst there was lots of serious stuff to cover off, the weekend was also a chance for the official photo shoot which always provides an opportunity for a few laughs.
NSW Swifts Head Coach Lisa Beehag was pleased with the vibe over the weekend and the progress the team has made, but one of the surprises which popped up on Sunday morning was some of the players interesting take on the �rules� of touch football which brought about a lot of laughter.
�I was really pleased with how the weekend went. As a team we started to put in place some of things we want to work on, how we are going to communicate and how we want to look as a team on the court,� Beehag said.
�I did however learn that there are only a handful of the girls that actually know the rules of touch football which made for a very interesting and funny game. Interestingly it was those that did know how to play that all wore the same shirt to ensure that they ended up on the same team.�
Perhaps it was a session with sport psychologist Paul Penna on Saturday morning that got the girls thinking more strategically about their touch football teams?
�Paul Penna came in on Saturday morning and he started his session with speed dating. That might seem funny but we�ve got five new players as well as some new staff so it was quite good to find out some things that we didn�t know about each other,� Beehag explained.
The activities didn�t stop at touch football or speed dating, with the Masterchef Swifts Cook-off taking centre stage on Saturday night.
With everyone surviving the cook-off and touch football, the team was back on court this week with Beehag pleased with how they are progressing. This week�s priority has been working the basics including always having two options for the ball, the release point on their passes and ensuring strong hands over the ball.
�It�s like everything; you have to build into things. As a coach you always want more, but honestly, we�re pretty close to where I�d like us to be,� Beehag said.
��It�s really important as a team that we keep the enjoyment and fun element alive. You can see by the way they�re interacting with each other: the laughter, preparedness to ask questions and put forward their thoughts � there�s a nice vibe starting to build.�

Why Do Women Need Unemployment Benefits So Badly?
On February 17th, President Obama signed an act that made it easier for states to give unemployment benefits to low-wage and part-time workers. By August 2009, 34 states had enacted these measures. A large portion of the group that benefits is women, including many single mothers working to support a family.
The changes correct policies that were based on a model of full-time, male breadwinners. This is positive in that it attends to a neglected segment of the population. But what does it mean that women still make up the majority of low-paid and temporary workers? Yes, the government should provide aid to as many of the jobless as possible. But we also need to step back and think about why women - often black and hispanic women - tend to struggle more to maintain economic self-sufficiency. Perhaps this measure is a band-aid to a deep problem, rather than a long-term solution.

I don't know if anyone has actually tested ShoR to see if it got nerfed too. It might have. We'll just have to see.
Things I have started to consider since reading this thread;
* Warriors lose +10% when not taking swings (Imp Def Stance). On bosses that cast a lot or have phases you do not tank (Saurfang, Fester,...) you already lose a lot on top of Damaging Shields and clear lack of Rage (WTB IRL>game rage conversion talents). Why can't this damage increase just work on using Devastate anyway? Why on avoiding melee swings?
* Unlike diseases, SoR stacks or Lacerate, Sunder Armor does not increase tank DPS while you can't tank (e.g. Marrogar WW phase)
* The tank highest on these graphs (Druid) has an ability that cause less threat than damage. If tank DPS is dismissable, why not reduce Lacerate damage in favor of normal threat then?
* The BV cap was first introduced on both Warriors SS and Paladins SoR. If the SS damage is so dangerous in certain gear, why is an ability that scales exactly the same on a class that can gear exactly the same not changed?
Sure, these are all minor things, but all put together I can only ponder on what arguments devs sometimes base their decisions on. Because I damn well remember a blue post that stated they do NOT base themselves on forums due to the low and extreme-sided representation.

I don't know if anyone has actually tested ShoR to see if it got nerfed too. It might have. We'll just have to see.
Not being able to hit the Warrior or hitting the Paladin and see it reduced to nothing through bubble, LoH and AD (which you can't CC through, like Last Stand) is about the same as my limited PvP view sees it.
That said, I'ld love to see that happen, if only for watching Blizzard trying to compensate for it afterwards.

I know they can't be used both at the same time, but it was rather a point that the original idea would've been that Warriors stun to reduce damage income, Paladins heal it back up and DK/Druid sorta heals overall (Presence, Imp Lotp,...).
Personally as limited PvPer, I just don't see this major problem with Warrior, but mostly blame with people not knowing what to do when they see a Warrior with a shield for the first time.
Sorry if it's a knee-jerk reaction to other tanking classes, but it's just that I lack a decent reasoning behind these 'changes' that makes me dissappointed. (Usually I do find some valid argumentation as to why they do things, even if I do not always agree with the value Blizz grants some of these arguments.)
Mists of Pandaria Protection Warrior SpreadsheetOriginally Posted by Ion
Warlords of Draenor One Minute Field Guides
The problems are around how the nerfs are targetted. As Kaz' has pointed out a couple of times, it's not the raw damage of shield slam or conc blow that makes PvP warriors strong, so it's quite possible that these nerfs won't change much in pvp. On the other hand, it's also possible that they have nerfed 'just enough' to let prot remain capable but not overpowered (combined with the resilience changes). We'll see when the arena season starts. From the PVE perspective, people were expecting buffs to close a big gap, where I think Blizzard were just intent on doing enough to keep an even keel.
I've spent some time the past few days chatting with the very pvp-versed players in my guild, watched a few videos, and did a few skirmishes to see just how "OP" prop pvp is; and I can say it is over-powered. However it's not so much the ability to lockdown other players, or not get kited that's the problem. The problem seems to be a combination of these things with our ability to apply decent burst every 2m. Then you stack arp... with the t9 bonus and battle stance at that's 16% arp! Then hope for an arp trinket to proc. You can stack arp because you don't need the survivability of pvp gear.. survival is covered by the spec.
I think different changes would have been more appropriate. Like say preventing arp from affecting extra damage increases from imp. disarm, and shield block. or remove imp disarms damage increase. Or stop recklessness from carrying over into stances other then zerker.
What I'm saying is it's not any of these individual attributes in a vacuum that's the issue, but rather the combo of all 4 in the hands of a skilled player. I don't think nerfing the straight damage is the best solution, rather fixing our multipliers and their resultant strength in a pvp environment.
Be a Champion, not a hero.
AD heal was a problem, but it got nerfed. The heal component scales with defense rating, so though it procs you will die pretty much straight after unless you are wearing PVE tanking gear (which would gimp your healing or damage performance)
What they need to do is have knobs and levers like this to help them change the way abilities behave in PVE and PVP. AD and IBF got linked to defense, noone wears defense gear in pvp, so they are much less effective there without nerfing them in pve. Conversely when rogues first got cheat death they would wear a ton of pve gear and still be unkillable. They linked cheat death to resilience and the problem went away. When they get rid of defense on gear in Cataclysm, they will lose that knob.
I propose that they replace defense rating with "PVEnis" and resilience with "PVPnis". Then the size of your PVEnis will determine how hard your shield slams hit or how effective your AD/IBF is, while your PVPnis prevents you being crit in the face.
Forgive me if this idea is stupid/won't work/been considered already, I'm at work and have only skimmed the pages in this thread, and I've just had a fleeting thought about collecting data for DK tanks separately from the DPS.
In my mind the one thing that truly isolates a DK tank from the DPS is actually frost presence more than anything else. Just yesterday I was reading a blood DK dps guide on EJ where is was recommended to actually keep the RS macros on HS/DS. If this is being incorporated into certain DPS rotations than RS isn't something that we can rely on. Personally as a tank I know there are a few fights where I switch presence (Festergut for example, to drop threat) but its for a relatively short amount of time.
Either way I don't actually know if there is a way to modify the way the data is collected here but if it can be modified to delve a little deeper into the parses and looking at "buffs gained" then I think going by presence is probably the most reliable.
If you want to see how OP prot pvp is, just throw on your dps gear and tank a heroic. 11k Shockwaves/Concussion Blows will abound. Along with 12k+ shield slams. That's a hell of a lot of burst to put out, especially considering that the first two are nice stuns. Granted heroic mobs don't have resilience, but I wasn't fully sundering trash or specced into improved disarm either. And that's just the damage side.
Then consider that improved SR, heroic throw, warbringer make you well tailored to take out casters and our heavy armor keeps us relatively safe from other melee without the need for pvp gear and you can start to see problems. Actually I don't pvp enough to see how Prot pvp handles melee, but from experience it's ridiculously good at locking down casters even back in 3.0. It just lacked the means to kill them until we got to current gear and ArP/SBV/Str caused enough damage to outstrip Stamina scaling.

When I first started using WordPress back in March, 2006, one of the first bad habits I go into was not backing up my sites. Okay, I just had one small website back then, SaigonNezumi.com, I still needed to back up my site. I did have backups of images and the WordPress install itself, but not of my database. I think I kept running site for nearly two years until one day, I accidentally deleted my database where SaigonNezumi.com resided. Whoops, luckily a $30 US fee to AnHosting, my webhost at the time, and I was able to recover my database.

Policy Shift: 2009 Law & Lawyers Report
Legal and regulatory changes are transforming the industry.
power and pipelines practice group. "There's now a social, political and industry consensus that we're going to do something about it, on a national and international scale. Virtually all of the other things happening in this industry flow from that issue."
For instance, as part of the overall trend toward green energy, more than half of the states have implemented renewable portfolio standards (RPS), and legislators in Congress have promised to enact a federal standard soon, either as part of climate policy or as stand-alone legislation. Of course, environmental issues aren't the only factor driving RPS and other green-energy policy legislation; most notably, policy makers are seeking to reduce U.S. dependence on imported fuels and the attendant consequences, in terms of national security and the trade deficit. Taken together, environmental and energy security issues have created powerful momentum toward policy transformation.
"I'm convinced that now we have the combination of political will and economic realities to drive toward [GHG] regulation," says George Pataki, former governor of New York and now counsel with Chadbourne & Parke. "It's not just about energy and the climate but also economic growth and strategic defense. We're relying on people like Hugo Chavez to supply our energy, and it represents the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. The United States has a tremendous opportunity, and people are aware of that."
Although legislation still faces major opposition, the current political calculus in Washington, D.C., seems to favor a combined federal RPS and carbon cap-and-trade policy. Proponents of this approach argue that it offers an effective carrot-and-stick combination to accelerate the industry's green transition.
"Renewables look a lot more competitive, and indeed might be completely competitive when externality costs are factored in," says Larry Eisenstat, partner and energy practice leader at Dickstein Shapiro. How quickly and readily this happens, however, might depend on how emissions credits are allocated in a carbon-trading regime. "Whether you're really going to incentivize renewables depends on how allowances are determined. If you get the right price for carbon and you have true economic dispatch, dirtier units will be displaced. But if allowance values remain as low as they seem likely to be in the beginning, it will take a long while before [carbon regulation] has much effect on renewable development."
Further, the allowance distribution mechanism will affect the way the carbon market evolves and develops. The Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy & Security Act , for example, which the House of Representatives approved in June 2009, would award allowances to retail electricity distributors, rather than to power generators. Eisenstat says this approach would skew the market in ways that are anti-competitive and ineffective. "You can't just give all the allowances to jurisdictional utilities, because it will give them a huge advantage in the market. It makes sense to have a transitional period where they get a large share, which would give them an appropriate chance to retire some units," he says. "But in order for a cap-and-trade system to have a meaningful effect on the environment, we need truly competitive procurement of

Vengeance as a rough idea of 'scaling threat based on situation' is a good idea. But, yeah, the implementation is pretty backwards and it really doesn't do what it needs to do. The fact that it fails to scale in any way proportional to DPS classes simply means threat is either way, way too easy or way, way too hard depending on the situation.
It really felt like something that was attempting to be clever but ended up as quite a blunt instrument.
Anyway, I don't feel like offering Hit as some kind of Mitigation stat will particularly help anything. I don't think tanks really need to think that way. Like the Vengeance thing, this feels backwards to me. I feel like a tank should get Hit/Expertise for other reasons without needing to stack them on gear.
If they are concerned about tank gear not having enough stats, I will question why the original tanking stat was removed from the game... But that's another issue, really.
