CBS Cares and so does Bob Schieffer:
When you hear the name Bob Schieffer, you immediately think journalist, broadcaster, Emmy Award winner and author. He has been one of the few journalists to cover all four major Washington national assignments: the White House, The Pentagon, United States Department of State, and United States Congress.
What you may not know, is that Schieffer is an ulcerative colitis patient, having been diagnosed in 1974. Schieffer will serve as Honorary Chair for Take Steps throughout the 2014 walk season. "I've been dealing with ulcerative colitis since 1974 and we still don't know all the reasons why people get these terrible diseases," said Bob Schieffer, CBS Chief Washington Correspondent; Anchor, "Face the Nation". "It's very interesting: ulcerative colitis is what we kind of call a 'below-the-belt' disease -- people are reluctant to talk about UC, for the obvious reasons. And that's why I think it is very important for those of us who have suffered from digestive diseases, to talk about it and help raise awareness," said Schieffer. National Capital Area, June 21st

Once your easymail subscription has expired, then all your accounts there will be disabled so staff will have to have ensured they have their contacts copied if they want to (95% of our staff did not bother) before that date.
In an ideal world you would keep both systems running side by side for a few weeks after going live with 365 just incase.
If you think of it like a pair of filing cabinets... Easymail as a old one with a drawer hanging off and 365 as a nice shiny new one. You would move all the contents over into the new one, but you might have to wait a while for the site team to come and chuck the old one in the skip

Here's Part II of my Tuesday afternoon chat with Doug Miller, the exec in charge of LivingSocial's travel flash-sale site, which sells high-end hotel stays for less.
Read Part I from Wed Wednesday here, and come back to Hotel Check-In on Friday for a final post that addresses potential obstacle for consumers.
Q. How many rooms is LivingSocial Escapes selling?
A. We've been live for 18 weeks. In that time, we sold 180,000 room nights -averaging 1,000 room nights per property that we work with.
Q. That's a decent number of rooms, and it makes me wonder how much price is a factor. If I compared one of your hotel deal's room rates to Expedia, for instance, who would have the cheaper rate?
A. It depends on the property. There are a couple of things that are different. We're not focusing on room rate. In some cases, we are offering a spa experience coupled with a room, or a culinary experience. It's more about the experiential end of travel. We've been talking about it as a weekend in a box.
Q. Can you give us some examples?
A. At the Hard Rock Chicago, we built a "rock star weekend" package that included a VIP bar experience and 50% off standard room rate. We did a culinary experience at a small inn in New Hampshire that included a two-hour cooking class as part of your stay. We're selling a stay at an all-inclusive in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, that comes with unlimited massages.
Q. Unlimited massage? You've got my attention. Who's coming up with these ideas?
A. In the case of the unlimited massages, it was the hotel's idea. But we have a sales force - boots on the ground. We have LivingSocial employees in 250 markets working directly with hotels.
(To shed light on the company's surprising growth, Maire Griffin, LivingSocial's PR chief, told me that the Washington D.C.-based company's currently hiring six people per day. In January 2010, it had 33 employees and 120,00 members in six markets within the USA vs. today's 1,300 employees and 26 million members in 12 countries.)
Q. Do hotels benefit from these deals, or do the offers bring in customers who don't return a second time for whatever reason?
A. When we ran an "Escape" for By the Side of the Road Inn in the Shenandoah Valley (in Harrisonburg, Va.) early on, it brought in an entirely new generation - young professionals from Washington D.C. Typically, a 55-year-old-plus audience went to this B&B.
Q. Do LivingSocial Escapes buyers return to the hotel they tried, or do they just move on to the next deal?
A. By the Side of the Road is having customers start to come back and pay standard rates. (The hotel owner) was deliberate to capture customers' emails and build a direct relationship with them. It's a brand-new marketing tool for hotels, and no money down.
Q. Who typically buys a LivingSocial Escapes package - men or women?
A. It depends on the trip. For a spa experience at La Costa Resort and Spa in Southern California, that was oriented to women. But for golf getaways in Texas? It was very clearly male oriented. (Overall, LivingSocial's membership skews towards women who've attended college and live in higher-income households, Miller told me.)

Wyo vs EPA: State resists EPA plan targeting coal to cut haze
Wyoming government leaders and the state's coal-heavy utility allies appear destined for litigation against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency unless the agency backs off from what many agree is an "aggressive" stance on combating regional haze.
If EPA holds its ground and wins potential litigation challenges (so far no lawsuits have been filed), power company representatives predict a dire outcome.
Coal-fired power units in the state will have to be retired much sooner than companies had planned, because the EPA's preferred strategy for cutting regional haze will impose such high costs, representatives of PacifiCorp and Basin Electric Power Cooperative say.
And the net result will not be an appreciable difference in visibility, the power company spokesmen say – though that is the ultimate goal of the effort.
"Our view is EPA's proposed rule is extreme and an unlawful interpretation of the regional haze program," PacifiCorp spokesman Dave Eskelsen told WyoFile.
Some citizens and environmental groups, however, support EPA's stance, although they say the agency could do better by pushing for further efforts to reduce haze reduction.
Maria Katherman of Converse County, spoke in favor of EPA's more aggressive stance on regional haze at EPA's hearing in Casper on Friday. She contends that Douglas, which is downwind from Rocky Mountain Power's Dave Johnston coal-fired power plant, has the highest rate of childhood asthma in Wyoming.
"I heard a lot of people today say they are speaking for the people of Wyoming and I have yet to hear anybody speak for me," said Katherman. "We used to see Cloud Peak, reliably (from Casper Mountain). I have not seen it in five or 10 years. … I'd gladly pay triple my electric bill if it meant my sons didn't have to live with asthma."
EPA's new regional haze plan is something that Wyoming's elected officials — representing a state with a fossil fuel-dependent economy — are more than willing to fight against, relying on the view that states can retain primacy to implement federal laws such as the Clean Air Act.
But the Sierra Club touted a recent 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling against Oklahoma Gas and Electric, saying it sets precedent and confirms EPA's authority to force PacifiCorp — Wyoming's largest utility — to retrofit its coal-fired power plants in Wyoming. "When people and national parks suffer from coal pollution, the 10th Circuit has strongly affirmed EPA's authority to ensure that states provide strong cleanup rules for power plants," Sierra Club said in a prepared statement on July 19.
"Citing the Clean Air Act and its legislative history, the 10th Circuit concluded that 'the EPA may reject Best Available Retrofit Technology determinations that do not comply with the guidelines,'" the Sierra Club continued. "The court squarely rejected arguments made by PacifiCorp and other coal industry groups that EPA lacked the authority to ensure that state programs meet federal requirements."
Slow and hazy
The federal regional haze program was developed in the 1970s under the Clean Air Act. At that time Congress set a date of 2064 to return visibility in national parks and wilderness areas back to natural conditions. Congress allowed states to craft their own plans for how they will meet the federal regional haze goals, but they still must be approved by EPA.
Visibility in places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park have gone from 140 miles to 35-to-90 miles due to pollutants from vehicles and industrial fuel combustion, according to EPA. The loss of visibility is regarded by the agency and others as a drain on vital tourism economies in the West.
After decades of slow state and agency work on regional haze, environmental groups such as the Sierra Club and WildEarth Guardians in recent years have sued EPA for missing deadlines to implement rules in the program, forcing EPA and states to set out firm plans.
In 2012, EPA accepted most of Wyoming's state implementation plan (SIP), but rejected some portions, instead insisting on a more aggressive timeframe and more aggressive pollution limits – outlined in EPA's federal implementation plan (FIP). Right away in 2012, EPA heard criticism from all stakeholders and agreed to review comments and reconsider its plan. EPA also recalculated its cost-benefit analysis then issued its "re-proposal" for regional haze a few months ago, unveiling what Wyoming air quality regulators and utilities consider is an even more aggressive and economically-unjustified plan.
Rather than ratchet down haze-contributing pollutants on a glide path to 2064, EPA's "re-proposal" would require major retrofits at coal-burning units of Wyoming power plants. Specifically, the latest EPA proposal would call for applying selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology at certain units to scrub nitrogen oxides.
During the past decade, PacifiCorp — which operates as Rocky Mountain Power in Wyoming — and Basin Electric Power Cooperative have spent hundreds of millions of dollars upgrading emission controls at their Wyoming coal-fired power plants, adding bag-houses to curb particulates and controls for nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides to meet a whole range of other tougher emission standards coming down from the federal EPA.
Rocky Mountain Power, alone, spent some $900 million from 2005 to 2012 to upgrade emission controls at its Wyoming coal units.
Utilities say that those upgrades were carefully crafted to also help them meet the EPA's path on regional haze, but that instead EPA quickly changed course to a much more aggressive strategy.
"Originally it was supposed to be a gradual process to achieve (natural visibility) by 2064. What EPA proposed is a much more aggressive timeframe and more stringent controls," which must be applied by 2020, said Eskelsen.
He added that all the additional cost and effort would be "in our view for marginal benefit." An imperceptible amount of haze reduction would be achieved at excessive cost, the utilities say.
By contrast, the utility companies much prefer Wyoming's SIP. The state plan would still meet federal regional haze visibility goals way ahead of the original 2064 date, according to Eskelsen, and it would cost about $1.2 billion less than EPA's plan to implement over 20 years.
While utilities and the state of Wyoming say that EPA's cost-benefit analysis in its re-proposal is seriously flawed, environmental groups contend EPA's plan is reasonable, and could go even further.
For example, the Sheridan-based landowner advocacy group Powder River Basin Resource Council has submitted its own criticisms of EPA's new plan saying that, among other things, it over-estimates the cost of required retrofits.
In general, however, the group supports the EPA re-proposal.
"Ultimately, EPA agreed with many of the comments in our expert reports resulting in the issuance of a re-proposed regional haze rule by addressing many of the technical and legal deficiencies with its original proposal," Powder River Basin Resource Council organizer Shannon Anderson told WyoFile via email.
EPA hearings
EPA recently conducted hearings in Wyoming at the request of Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead.
"First and foremost, EPA's proposed federal plan for Wyoming for regional haze harms rate payers, including the most economically vulnerable people – that alone is unconscionable," Gov. Mead stated in the transcript prepared for his July 17 testimony to the EPA. He went on to argue that EPA's regional haze requirement "turns a blind eye to Congressionally-mandated state primacy."
EPA held a second public hearing Friday in Casper where utilities laid out their analysis of EPA's allegedly flawed justification for curbing regional haze in coal-rich Wyoming.
"Unlike the Wyoming SIP, the EPA's FIP requires uneconomic controls that will lead to the early retirement of units," PacifiCorp Energy president Michael Dunn testified at the EPA hearing on Friday.
A thorough evaluation of the pros and cons of new reduction requirements, as required by the Clean Air Act, would also have included "an analysis of the impacts these retirements will have on local jobs, the economy, and the communities surrounding the affected facilities," Dunn testified.
A consultant for Basin Electric Power Cooperative laid out an extensive analysis of what it would take to retrofit the Laramie River Station power plant with selective catalytic reduction technology. He said applying the technology to the center of three in-line units would require near-reconstruction of the plant, and added that EPA failed to identify some $460 million in resulting costs of the agency's plan at the Laramie River Station alone.
Gov. Mead, along with several county — and city — elected officials in the state, allege that by overriding Wyoming's plan for regional haze, EPA is brazenly carrying out an Obama administration agenda to pinch coal out of America's electric generation fuel portfolio. Wyoming's pro-coal alliance says that the Obama administration is not only imposing unnecessary costs to utilities and their customers, but also using the federal regional haze program — which is supposed to be aimed only at visibility and not health concerns — as a political weapon against coal.
"EPA's proposal is a product of selective public comments – a plan developed behind closed doors or at least doors closed to the State of Wyoming and the expertise at the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)," Mead said in his written testimony.
"This is not a health-based program," Wyoming DEQ administrator Todd Parfitt testified on Friday regarding the regional haze program. "There are other programs in place to address that. This is not a climate change program. There are other programs that address that."
Parfitt also alleged that EPA, in its re-proposal on regional haze earlier this year, used a different kind of "SCR" – not "selective catalytic reduction" technology but a "selective comment response" tactic – in developing its new regional haze strategy and unfairly left Wyoming DEQ and the governor's office out of the decision process.
In addition, Gov. Mead's administration accuses EPA of playing along with a so-called "sue and settle" scheme whereby environmental groups file lawsuits against EPA insisting on tougher standards, resulting in a binding court settlement.
Reached by phone for comment, Jeremy Nichols of WildEarth Guardians — which was among plaintiffs that filed suit against EPA regarding regional haze implementation — said that Wyoming's charges of sue-and-settle and being blocked from discussions with EPA are both unsubstantiated.
"It's beyond insane," said Nichols. "I don't know how to respond to that. This is loony. There's no sue-and-settle. EPA missed a deadline and we sued them just like industry sues them for missing deadlines."
As for Gov. Mead's administration being cut out of EPA's decision-making process, Nichols said, "For the state to cry victim in this is incredibly disingenuous. Wyoming's had chance after chance to put its best foot forward and what you see is its reluctance to hold polluters accountable."
EPA's two recent hearings in Wyoming garnered comments from many local elected officials and businesses that see coal as a mainstay of Wyoming's economy. Many testified that they believe EPA is simply using regional haze as another regulatory tool to be misused against coal mining and against coal-burning utilities — industries that drive Wyoming's $1 billion per year coal industry.
Many commenters also said they believe the most significant regional haze is in the summer, and the contributors to that haze are wildfires and pollutants emitted from industrial sources throughout the world.
"I believe the main contributions to regional haze are wildfires, and pollution coming from overseas," Gary Cox, representing IBEW Local 57 union members at Rocky Mountain Power's Naughton coal-fired power plant, testified at the EPA hearing in Casper last week. "If the federal government truly wanted to reduce regional haze it would (manage forests to reduce wildfires)."
Anne MacKinnon, a Casper-based natural resources consultant and chairwoman of WyoFile, testified to EPA on Friday that she supports EPA's recent actions for moving forward on regional haze.
"A good deal of (Wyoming's) revenue comes from coal, but a good deal more comes from other resources, and Wyoming has a diverse portfolio of energy resources," said MacKinnon. "People say 'You can't eat the scenery;' well, people eat it every day. There's a lot of winter tourism use, so it's not true that you can't eat the scenery, but you need to be able to see it."
EPA is accepting public comment on its proposed regional haze plan until August 26. It is expected to make a final decision on the regional haze rule sometime in November.
— UPDATE, August 2, 2013: On Friday August 2, 2013, Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead sent a letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy insisting that the agency's actions (and inactions) on Wyoming's state implementation plan skirt cooperative federalism. He accused EPA of taking part in a "sue and settle" scheme, suggesting the agency used its "close relationship" with the Sierra Club so that the group would sue EPA giving it the opportunity to sign a settlement imposing more stringent standards on regional haze than Wyoming's regulators proposed.
"EPA rolled over and agreed to settle the case," Gov. Mead wrote. "EPA has a poor track record, which includes neglecting state plan submissions, exposing itself to lawsuits, and changing the requirements before acting on good state plans that are already on the table."

51. Watch the season's most anticipated flicks. Pictured: Your Highness
51. Watch the season's most anticipated flicks
This spring offers a bit of everything for moviegoers, including Terrence Malick's long-awaited existential drama The Tree of Life to The Beaver, wherein mad Mel Gibson plays a dude who talks to others via a puppet (really). And the season wouldn't be complete without a James Franco vehicle, the medieval stoner comedy Your Highness. See which films we can't wait to go to, then catch one at one of the city's best movie theaters.
52. Take the tram to Roosevelt Island
The Roosevelt Island tram from Manhattan (59th St at Second Ave, rioc.ny.gov; $2.25) resumed service last November, but now that it won't be buffeted by winter winds, you can enjoy the views down Manhattan's avenues and sweeping vistas of the skyline, and then actually explore the one-road islet without catching a cold. After your three-minute ride in one of new, shiny red cars, which hold up to 109 passengers, grab a bite alongside islanders at the diner Trellis (549 Main St; 212-752-1517) and hit up the other spots in our handy Roosevelt Island guide.
53. Ride the Cyclone
It's still here, and it's as rickety as ever. The Cyclone is possibly the least confidence-inspiring roller coaster in the world. (The stripped wooden slats could double as siding in a Manila shantytown, and the seats are pretty tough to squeeze into.) Still, this oldie is a goodie, boasting a surprisingly fast ride, a great view of the ocean and a worn-in charm you can't get at Six Flags. 834 Surf Ave at 8th St, Coney Island, Brooklyn (718-265-2100). $8. Opens April 16.
54. Sweat out your winter sins
Spring is all about new beginnings, and there's no better place to reach catharsis than in a communal bathhouse. At the Russian & Turkish Baths (268 E 10th St between First Ave and Ave A; 212-674-9250, russianturkishbaths.com; $30), you can cycle between two steam rooms, two saunas, an ice-cold plunge pool and a sunny roof deck to get rid of those toxins. If you've been really bad, you can pay extra to be whipped with a bundle of oak leaves (platza, $35) before being drenched in ice-cold water. For a swankier detox experience, park yourself in the Water Lounge at Great Jones Spa (29 Great Jones St at Lafayette St; 212-505-3185, greatjonesspa.com; $50).
55. Join a sports team (and hook up)
If you can't summon the nerve for a pickup game in the park, try one of the sports teams organized by Chelsea Piers (23rd St at Hudson River; 212-336-6666, chelseapiers.com) or ZogSports.org, where registration is now open for coed spring sports leagues in touch football, dodgeball and other activities you probably hated in high school. Although CEO and founder Robert Herzog stresses that it's not a dating service, he brags that ZogSports has brought together dozens of engaged couples. We speculate that the rounds of friendly postgame drinks have had something to do with that. Consult this roundup for more social (and occasionally boozy) sports leagues.
56. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and go to Beacon, New York
When you've tired of MoMA's lines and photo-taking tourists, take an 80-minute Metro-North ride to Dia:Beacon (3 Beekman St at Red Flynn Rd; 845-440-0100, diabeacon.org; $10, students and seniors $7). Founded in 1974 and housed in a former Nabisco factory, the museum has a vast collection of larger-than-life modern art—including Donald Judd's steely monoliths and Louise Bourgeois's sinister sculptures—that conventional museums often can't accommodate for lack of space. Grab lunch in the caf, or better yet pack a picnic to enjoy on the sprawling grounds, perched on the edge of the Hudson River. Travel: Metro-North Hudson Line to Beacon (off-peak round trip $28).
57. ...or Wassaic, New York
You'll want your Schwinn for this trip: The Metro-North Harlem Line terminates at Wassaic(visit mta.info for information on the hours when bikes are permitted on trains) and gives way to the leafy Harlem Valley Rail Trail, a biker's paradise. Pedal to quaint Millerton, where tea at Harney & Sons (13 Main St between Old Rt 22 and N Center St; 518-789-2121, harney.com) and the chance to watch glassblowing by artisans at Gilmor Glass (2 Main St at Old Rt 22; 518-789-8000, gilmorglass.com; call ahead for the blowing schedule) await. A longer journey up a steep, partially paved road to Cascade Mountain Winery (835 Cascade Rd, Amenia, NY; 845-373-9021, cascademt.com) may test just how tipsy you can be without needing training wheels. Find maps and bike tours at hvrt.org or dutchesstourism.com. Travel: Metro-North Harlem Line to Wassaic (off-peak round trip $32.50).
58. Have a high-concept dinner at Park Avenue Spring
Owner Michael Stillman, chef Kevin Lasko and design firm AvroKO have conceived an ode to the legendary Four Seasons, except that here the design, the uniforms and the very name rotate along with the menu. Spring brings a lavender-and-green color scheme, vibrant flowers and a vernal menu that's still in the works. 100 E 63rd St between Park and Lexington Aves (212-644-1900, parkavenuecafe.com). Starts Mar 22.
59. Walk off Italian eats in Astoria
Some Astorians deem Vesta (21-02 30th Ave at 21st St; 718-545-5550, vestavino.com) the best thing to have happened to the 'hood since the popular seafood joint Elias Corner. (Only it's Italian.) This perpetually packed trattoria attracts diners nightly with its modern rustic cuisine—and pasta in particular. We can't say no to the cavatappi with spicy cauliflower and bread crumbs ($11) and hearty three-meat lasagna ($15). Then stroll along Shore Boulevard, which stretches between Astoria Park and the East River, offering unparalleled views of Manhattan. Head to the span between the Robert F. Kennedy and Hell Gate Bridges for some quiet contemplation (although it can get busy on warm, clear nights).
60. Get schooled in cool subjects
It's time to turn off that rerun of Dancing with the Stars and give your noggin a workout. At Brooklyn Brainery (515 Court St between Huntington and W 9th Sts, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn; 347-292-7246, brooklynbrainery.com), you can learn about beekeeping, soda making, bookbinding and other activities ($10--$35 per course).

I'm trying to get my site off the ground here, as I think this is a community that would really appreciate it. It's a labour of love on my part, so I'm hoping for good things. The goal is to be able to meet up with others to go and do some of this cool stuff, when you are new or just looking to meet other people. Check it out, it's www.maweejik.com, and just started this week. If you think it's a cool idea, share with your friends, so I'll have a million people to do stuff with next time I'm in town :)
Glad you like, Codina --- we'll post 101 things to do in the summer in early June. Stay tuned!

text: Schumacher: Today was a nice start into a hopefully exciting season 16 March, 2012 Michael Schumacher ended the day in Melbourne at the top of the timing sheets May.16 (Reuters) Seven times a world champion and four times a winner of the Australian Grand Prix, Michael Schumacher refused to get too excited about finishing top of the timesheets in a practice session on Friday. Michael negotiates tricky conditions on the opening day at Albert Park The German has not been on the podium since he began his comeback to Formula One after three years in retirement in 2010 and the third-fastest time of the day overall was a small glimmer of hope that 2012 might offer better things. "Today was a nice start into a hopefully exciting season, and certainly two promising sessions for us," the 43-year-old said. "However, I would not go so far as to speak about being confident as the weather conditions were too mixed to gain a clear picture." The first two practice sessions of a race weekend are often a poor gauge of the relative pace of cars because teams try out different set-ups before the important business of qualifying on Saturday. The most successful driver of all time, Schumacher is preparing for his 288th race at the start of his 18th full season in Formula One and was under no illusions on Friday. "We know what Friday sessions are for and don't know what fuel loads others were running," Schumacher added. "On the other hand, it is good to see that we were competitive in different circumstances today and that the car provides good handling – I just feel it." Michael remains cautious about his chances down under Two positive pre-season tests in Barcelona indicated that Schumacher and his Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg might be contenders this year. Team boss Ross Brawn on Friday reflected Schumacher's caution but also his guarded optimism. "It's certainly better than being at the back," he said. "It's been a reasonably encouraging start but we're not getting carried away. Different teams were doing different things today." Last season, Schumacher and Rosberg both retired at Albert Park on their way to finishing eighth and seventh respectively in the drivers' standings. Brawn said the team had arrived in much better shape for the season-opener this year. "We're much better prepared than we were last year," he said. "Last year we were not in good shape at this stage of the season. "We're not where we want to be yet in many ways but we're a lot better than we were 12 months ago. If we keep that rate of progress going then I'm extremely optimistic about the future. "We're at a place now where the car…does all the basic things properly and all of our resource can be focused on trying to find performance for the next part of the season."

This morning, Amelia and I were lamenting the fact that we already shop at the cheapest stores possible (H&M, Forever 21, etc.). What are we supposed to do now that the economy is tanking and people are advising us to cut back on spending? If you're like us and aren't ready to give up shopping entirely, check out these items from Wal-Mart. Yes, you heard us right. They're basic enough that you can wear them all the time without anyone noticing, and cheap enough that your checking account will barely be affected. Keep reading »

" I have stayed at this hostel 3 times now and keeps getting better. The location is at the perfect spot in Zocalo (main square downtown) and it is safe at any time. The 3 times I have been in a 6 persons mix dorm; rooms are nice and clean with a bathroom inside. Now they serve good breakfast that consists of eggs, beans, fruit, coffee and tea (included) at the roof terrace with an amazing view of the cathedral. During the night, the terrace turns into a bar where you can meet other guests. "

Great to meet other travelers and have a couple drinks too. Everything was clean and maintained. Beds were pretty comfortable. I've stayed here on 3 different occasions and would stay again. "

CONS: had to be moved to other room due to terrible smoke smell, very loud due to room facing the interior patio (though the noise definitely goes way down at 11, it picks up early again), not very clean, pretty beat up breakfast (went to 4 other hostels and all were WAY better). Note: i am a mom traveling with her 9-year old daughter "

Man faces felony assault chargeAugust 14,2014Man faces felony assault charge
A Brandon man on Wednesday denied striking a woman repeatedly at his Carver Street home.
John D. Desabrais, 43, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. The aggravated charge was based on a violation of an abuse prevention order placed on Desabrais in March 2010.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $5,000 for Desabrais who posted that amount and was released. The judge also imposed a condition that prohibits Desabrais from possessing or consuming alcohol.
Brandon Police say they were called to Desabrais home at 20 Carver Street at about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday where a woman told police that he had struck her repeatedly and torn her clothes, according to court records.
Asked about the injuries to the woman, Desabrais said he and the woman struck each other during a mutual affray but declined to elaborate on the fight, and police said they found no injuries on Desabrais. The Brandon man also told police he had been drinking throughout the evening and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.161 percent when tested at his home. That level is twice the 0.08 percent legal limit to operate a motor vehicle in Vermont.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair.

I've got the Luv on Discover (Request Increase) just want to know if it's a soft pull or Hard ?
Current limit is $4500 and when I asked for $4500 last month it wanted to pull CR and I wonder if I ask for less say $2000 will be soft ?
Few months ago got a letter to call in and got $2000 CLI and few months after that the CLI button showed up and it's been maybe two months now still got LUV when I log in.
Is Discover any good trying to match higher credit card limits ?
Account is about 2 years old with ZERO balance now I charge about $4 a month and PIF.
Wife and I were using this card for everything till I found out about Amex BCP and Discover was at 70-100% credit use every month when limit was at $2000.
I recently had the LUV button show up in my account too. I was hoping that they would decide how much they wanted to give me for CLI but it asked how much I wanted. So I just chose a $2,000 CLI and it was approved. The website actually said that it was just a soft pull and that a hard pull would be required if I wanted an additional amount. They won't do a HP without warning you first which is nice. Good luck!
What was your credit limit ? I'm going to ask for $2000 later on today I think $4500 aka 100% CLI luv button not happy about and wanted HP.
I wish I could put how much I wanted, when I press the button it just says
" We're Sorry.
Your credit limit increase request cannot be processed at this time. For assistance, please call 1-800-DISCOVER (1-800-347-2683)."
My limit was $5,000.
08-24-2012 05:04 PM - edited 08-25-2012 08:45 AM
Got LUV asked for $2000 and now upto $6500 too bad it's not my card (Wifes) she won't care if it's 16K LOL
Congratulations! You've been approved for a credit line increase of $2,000.
I think 2K CLI is the easy way i'll ask for 2k for next CLI.

Founder's Day Athletic History
I'm featuring athletics but I am dealing with history. I am trying to convince you that not everything of importance in the history of OBU has happened in the past ten or twenty years.
In sports for example, OBU's track team, under the leadership of National Coach of the Year Ford Mastin, won two national championships last year. Our men's and women's basketball teams are perennial national tournament contenders. We have reached high national levels in baseball and softball. But as significant as these achievements are, this is not all of the OBU sports story.
Let's go back to the beginning.

There are a number of interventional cardiovascular procedures that your doctor may choose to diagnose and/or treat your condition. Interventional cardiology procedures are also referred to as minimally invasive because they do not involve the extensive surgery of open-heart procedures like coronary artery bypass or valve replacement. A wide array of interventional treatments are available to patients at St. Lucie Medical Center for conditions that block the flow of blood through the arteries in the heart and other vessels in the body.
We have installed the latest, state-of-the-art technology and digital imaging equipment in our catheterization labs. Using the high quality images produced by this technology, physicians can see clearly inside the body to diagnose cardiovascular conditions and decide how best to treat them.
Diagnostic Catheterization
If your symptoms and diagnostic test results indicate the possibility of coronary artery disease, you may be scheduled for a diagnostic catheterization. Your cardiologist uses a tiny, hollow tube called a catheter to help diagnose problems in the coronary arteries. After a sedative, the doctor puts a catheter into an artery in your arm, groin or wrist. The latter is called a radial approach, and a growing number of physicians are choosing this approach. For eligible patients, it means a decreased chance of complications and a shorter and more comfortable recovery.
During your heart catheterization, your cardiologist watches a high definition video screen and injects a dye through the catheter into the arteries. The doctor watches how well the dye flows through the arteries and can see any blockages. Depending on the size, type and location, your doctor may choose to medication or a minimally invasive, interventional procedure as treatment.
Primary Coronary Intervention
This procedure is sometimes performed immediately following a heart catheterization. The doctor inserts a small balloon-tipped catheter into the area of the artery that is blocked. He or she then inflates the balloon to press plaque against the artery walls. Moving the plaque out of the way allows the blood to flow freely through the artery again. This procedure is also referred to as a balloon angioplasty.
Arteries that are reopened may need help to stay open, and your doctor may choose to place a stent inside the artery wall. A stent is a mesh-like device made of surgical stainless steel. Depending on your individual case, your cardiologist may choose a drug-coated stent or a stent that is not drug-coated. As in a heart cath, the doctor inserts the catheter into the artery. When he or she finds the blockage, the balloon is inflated. The inflated balloon expands the stent to prop open the inside of the artery, allowing blood to flow freely to the heart muscle. The stent is permanent, acting as a scaffold to hold the artery open.
Transradial Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty/Stenting
What is transradial cardiac catheterization?
Transradial cardiac catheterization offers a less invasive, lower-risk option because the procedure is performed through the wrist rather than the groin. This allows for a quicker recovery time and a shorter hospital stay. Immediately after the procedure, patients should be able to sit up, eat, and walk. In contrast, after a traditional cardiac catheterization, patients must lie flat for two to six hours, in order to ensure that bleeding will not occur from the site.
The benefits of the transradial technique include:
- Reduces bleeding complications
- Shortens hospital stays
- Improves the patient's experience
The doctors of Heart & Family Health Institute are now providing Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty/Stenting through the wrist to eligible patients of the community at St. Lucie Medical Center.
For more information about this procedure, please call (772) 398-7805.

£9m Technology Breakthrough
During one of his routine skulks round Parliament's cellars, "Kiss-my-politically-incorrect-arse" Guido has come across the charred remains of yet another public money bonfire.
The Parliamentary Information Management System (PIMS) is a bespoke IT development commissioned "to provide easy access to parliamentary information for all users of the parliamentary intranet, by creating a new infrastructure for the storage, search, retrieval and management of parliamentary information held in the two Libraries."
In effect they tried to build their own Google. And- surprise, surprise- after £9m of our money, years of work, and all the usual delays, it's actually not much cop. Guido's mole reports it is "universally despised by all who come into contact with it", and contrasts it most unfavourably with a mini-version of the real Google purchased by the Clerk's Department for a mere two grand.
The more cost conscious of our MPs are putting their names to Anne Main's Early Day Motion (EDM 1505) :
"That this House is concerned at the performance of the Parliamentary Information Management System; finds its use cumbersome and slow and wasteful of the time of staff of the House, hon. Members and their staff; notes the delays in the updating of information; and calls for an inquiry by the House authorities into the cost-effectiveness and usability of the system."
Never mind the inquiry. We want some Guido justice for the perpetrators.

Okay... Newborn - youngster CB snakes get pinkies served on a silver platter. Easy as pie, right?
In the wild, are there that many pinkies available? Does anyone know what young snakes eat in the wild? How often do you think they eat? Surely they don't eat the regular "once a week" meal we offer them, right?
And, if a young snake were to come across mice young enough to eat, wouldn't the mother have him for a snack, or at the least kill him out of protection? Or are they naturally afraid of snakes regardless of size?
All my years of keeping snakes and I have never known the answer to this.

Commonly asked questions about residential Sprinklers
Why have home fire sprinklers?
Home fire sprinklers automatically contain a fire, preventing it from spreading. It's like having a fire-fighter in your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Only the sprinklers in the fire area are activated. An msnbc news report, link here, from The TODAY Show broadcast on October 14th, 2008 demonstrates the life saving benefit of residential sprinklers.
How do I take care of my fire sprinkler system?
A residential fire sprinkler system is basically maintenance free. The only testing required on a regular basis is opening the drain/test valve to check the alarm operation. The rest of the system is designed to operate properly for 20 years or more without any maintenance. Some basic precautions to safeguard your fire sprinkler system are: Avoid painting or otherwise covering the fire sprinkler heads, as that will affect their sensitivity to heat. Do not hang decorations, plants or other objects from the sprinkler or piping. Visit our inspection, testing, and maintenance page for more information.
Does every fire sprinkler head discharge water when a fire occurs?
No. Sprinkler heads are individually activated by heat, like a heat detector. Once the sprinkler head senses 135°, the standard temperature for residential heads, only that head activates. Residential fires are usually controlled with one sprinkler head.
Will there be water damage from activation of a fire sprinkler?
Yes. A residential fire sprinkler discharges about 15 gallons a minute. However, a 2½" fire-fighter's hose discharges 250 gallons a minute. With only one head activating and containing the fire water damage is a lot lower than the fire-fighter's hose line.
Are home fire sprinklers costly and difficult to install?
Home fire sprinklers use narrow piping that requires minimal water pressure to move water from the tap to the source of a fire. Home sprinklers require less water to operate than those in industrial or commercial establishments. In general, the cost of installing sprinklers in a new home is approximately 1% - 1.5% of the total cost of the home. Older homes can be retrofitted with sprinklers, but the cost may be higher than when installing them during the new home construction process.
Are home fire sprinklers good for the environment and an integral
achievement toward the
goal of "Sustainable Practices & Development"?
Yes. According to a groundbreaking joint research project from FM Global and HFSC on the environmental impact of fires, automatic fire sprinklers can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 98%, reduce fire damage by up to 97%, reduce water usage to fight a home fire by as much as 91% and reduce water pollution.

Terrorism for repatriation
» Mon Oct 24, 2011 6:50 am
Hello! Did you know that each relevant Meskhetian Turk willing to get Georgian citizenship status has to see duty in Special squads of Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs for a year and a half. In fact such squads consist of members of various Islamite extremist organizations. Saakashvili allowed them staying and training in the Georgian territory. And now Georgian authorities supply them with cannon fodder for their future terrorist attacks sending under their command criminals and numerous national minorities people. How many of those Meskhetian Turks would return back after those sesquiyear? And those who would return would be turned into radical Islam zealots. That's price of Georgian citizenship. Imho it's too high. And this country considers itself to be western democracy. They sent their forces into Afghanistan and Iraq. What Saakashvili's Islamite friends think of it, I wonder? Or he'd bought them down outright?

did you see the link to wpkg-gp - Running WPKG as a Group Policy Extension - Google Project Hosting ?
Looks good!
So, I'm looking at the best way to deploy the many different pieces of software that various classrooms need without having to do much repacking to make use of the Microsoft GPO Software Deployment, and came across WPKG and wondered...
- Does anyone use it? (http://www.wpkg.org)
- Does it work well with 2008R2/W7 Pro?
- Any pitfalls I should be aware of with it?
Thanks all
Andy T
did you see the link to wpkg-gp - Running WPKG as a Group Policy Extension - Google Project Hosting ?
Looks good!
I use it here, since nothing executes on the server it should be fine on 2008r2, just as long as you can make the files available to the client.
Windows 7 is a different kettle of fish, I've not yet done any testing. It however works fairly well with XP, you do just have to put a bit of care into your package files and think about all the what ifs? We have had an issue where it stalls if there's no network connection (even if you enable the laptop mode), this has been fixed in the Beta version of the client.
I use it in all my schools
But of course, I use it simply as in all users startup batch file.
This means I don't have to worry about the software install being silent which makes life a lot easier.
We use it here on our Windows 7 Enterprise stations and it's fine.
We used the GP plugin so that it shows what is being installed prior to the logon screen appearing.
In fact it's so good we're rolling it out to our local primary school we support.
Looks like this'll be my new development in the school then in that I'll use WDS to roll out a basic image with office software and what not, and then use WPKG to roll out everything else.
soveryapt (13th October 2011)
Ok, so I'm looking to actually get this setup now using WPKG-GP so that it shows nicely on the screen what is installing when for the end-user (otherwise they'll likely just force reboot the machine) .. but I'm just wondering if there are any good how-to instructions about anywhere for this?
soveryapt (25th June 2012)
Whoop .. it looks like I might have actually got it working .. and just in time for the holidays .. just added a couple of other packages to make sure it's not just a fluke! lol ..
We used to have this running very well until we started using the GP aspect. Although the users get to see what's being installed, etc. it can sometimes take forever to complete (and that's when it is just checking everything is up to date). Meanwhile frustrated teacher reboots computer but it just carries on from before until it completes. It could do with a 'skip' for now button I think.
I have had to disable it for some users just so that they can get on with teaching!
But if it's takes more then a few seconds I would suspect there's an issue with on of your packages. Have a look through the event viewer for WSH errors.

How to Dominate Your Fantasy Football Draft
As millions of men curse the tyranny of office firewalls and auto-draft, we asked a lovely Yahoo! Sports analyst to calm you down with the NFLs top picks of the year.
By Charissa Thompson
Need More Points?
Don't forget the unexpected number of points a kicker can add to your final score. The position is invariably an afterthought, but in many cases it's the edge you end up needing for the win. Don't draft one too early - you'll be wasting a pick - but make sure to draft a good one, look for favorable match-ups and scour the waiver wire. Take a look at New Orleans' Garrett Hartley, who won the NFC Championship Game last year, San Diego's Nate Kaeding, or Green Bay's Mason Crosby.

we are supporting two versions of Hadoop viz. 1.0.3 and 2.0-alpha. In such situations couple of times you could hit the issue of incompatible APIs. Now if you need to implement an interface for one of the version how would you go about ? The APIs in the two versions are completely incompatible, so would you drop the idea and start supporting one version ? But that's a big price to pay, thankfully there are couple of things to your rescue in such cases.

This character has already grown on me. I was so surprised to see a brash female warrior wearing sensible plate when I saw the first page, I thought perhaps that I must be wrong and it was merely a brash young male. Well, ye of little faith and all that.
I look forward to seeing what comes of this project.
Yeah, I had no idea that was a chick on page 1. I am teh tard.
Say hello to the other 1%
I have to say, I'm a huge fan of the 'ruler with attached blade' as the traditional weapon of the Bloodshot Sisters.
Now I can't help but think what your fingers will look like if you're smacked with one of those rulers. D: Micro size makisushi or something…
Forced to agree with the last panel… But it looks good! ^^;
Frigg unleashed!
I…I only just now noticed that Frigg's lifting that Nun right up in the air.
And little over a year since my last comment.

In regards to the alt-text: Haven't you seen Midnight Cowboy? THERE'S a cocksucker who didn't love dick . . .
Now thats a way to come to terms with your religion… beat the priests, burn the temple! :D
… My approval of this page is marred by the realisation that the fighter-girl says "y'all".
There is a special pit of loathing reserved exclusively for those who say "y'all" unironically.
