Cuomo to Ban Fracking in New York State, Citing Health Risks
This was posted in LBN. I'm cross-posting here to alert members of the group who might otherwise have missed it.

Do jurors enforce topic restrictions?
I was just called for jury duty. The alerted post wasn't a personal attack or anything of the sort, so I voted to leave it.
The alerter didn't raise the point, but I thought there was a good argument that the post was improper for where it was posted. My view, however, was that it was up to hosts to police topic restrictions, by locking off-topic threads, and that as a juror I shouldn't try to take that factor into account. (Presumably the hosts are much better acquainted with the nuances of what's proper in each group or forum.)
Should I broaden my view of jury duty and consider SOP's and the like (especially if the alerter DOES raise the point)?

2016 Democratic nomination: the age factor
In the discussion about 2016 (a discussion some people consider premature but which is inevitable and besides we can have those conversations without thereby ignoring 2014), one factor thats been mentioned is the ages of some of the prospective Democratic candidates. Just to get a reality-based handle on the subject, I compiled some specifics.
The first chart includes a bunch of Democrats whom Ive heard mentioned, listed alphabetically by surname, plus the birth date for each. The second chart is the same group, listed by age, plus the age at last birthday as of January 20, 2017. (If anyone wants another name included, let me know and Ill edit, to have all the information in one place.)
To give some context, the third chart includes the six most recent Presidents, plus a few others, listed chronologically, with age at last birthday as of inauguration. The final chart is our 2008 field, listed by age, plus the age at last birthday as of January 20, 2009.
My comments on the subject follow the last chart.
Chart 1: Possible Democratic nominees, with birth dates
Joe Biden: November 20, 1942
Jerry Brown: April 7, 1938
Sherrod Brown: November 9, 1952
Hillary Clinton: October 26, 1947
Andrew Cuomo: December 6, 1957
Howard Dean: November 17, 1948
John Kerry: December 11, 1943
Martin OMalley: January 18, 1963
Bernie Sanders: September 8, 1941
Brian Schweitzer: September 4, 1955
Elizabeth Warren: June 22, 1949
Sheldon Whitehouse: October 20, 1955
Chart 2: Possible Democratic nominees, with ages as of January 20, 2017
Jerry Brown, 78 years old
Bernie Sanders, 75 years old
Joe Biden, 74 years old
John Kerry, 73 years old
Hillary Clinton, 69 years old
Howard Dean, 68 years old
Elizabeth Warren, 67 years old
Sherrod Brown, 64 years old
Brian Schweitzer, 61 years old
Sheldon Whitehouse, 61 years old
Andrew Cuomo, 59 years old
Martin OMalley, 54 years old
Chart 3: Some past Presidents ages at inauguration
William Henry Harrison, 68 years old (oldest before Reagan)
Theodore Roosevelt, 42 years old (youngest ever inaugurated)
John F. Kennedy, 43 years old (youngest ever elected)
Jimmy Carter, 52 years old
Ronald Reagan, 69 years old (oldest ever)
George H. W. Bush, 65 years old
Bill Clinton, 46 years old
George W. Bush, 54 years old
Barack Obama, 47 years old
Chart 4: Democratic field from 2008, with ages as of January 20, 2009
Mike Gravel, 78 years old
Joe Biden, 66 years old
Chris Dodd, 64 years old
Dennis Kucinich, 62 years old
Hillary Clinton, 61 years old
Bill Richardson, 61 years old
John Edwards, 55 years old
Barack Obama, 47 years old
As an additional bit of context here, John McCain would have been 72 at inauguration. Other recent unsuccessful candidates: Al Gore would have been 52, John Kerry would have been 61, and Mitt Romney would have been 65 at inauguration.
Overall, the ages of the 2016 Democratic field, particularly those of the candidates at the top in the nebulous most mentioned category, are notable. Our candidate pool definitely skews older than it did in 2008.
Clinton, at inauguration, would be several months younger than Reagan was, but older than Harrison was, and would thus be the second-oldest ever. Biden would be the oldest ever, even older than McCain would have been.
Age plays into the race in two ways. The first is whether that person will choose to run. Both Clinton and Biden, the two leaders in polls of Democrats that Ive seen, will be old by historical standards. Both have also experienced the rigors of a Presidential campaign and have seen at close hand the rigors of serving. Add four years or eight years for age at conclusion of administration. Either or both of them might well think, I would have been a great nominee and a great President last time around, but at this point, who needs that hassle.
The second factor is electability. In 2008, although some people thought Obama too young and inexperienced, there were others who thought McCain too old. In 2016, we can expect some partisan hypocrisy on this score. Republicans who supported McCain will argue that Clinton is too old if shes the nominee, and Democrats who denounced McCain as too old will happily support Biden if hes the nominee. Leaving aside such partisanship, I expect that many swing voters would have at least some misgivings about an older candidate.
Cutting against both these factors is that age isnt what it used to be. People live longer and maintain their faculties longer. Those swing voters are likely to be personally acquainted with people in their sixties or seventies who are still quite lively.
Nevertheless, I note that even the youngest prospective candidate on my list (OMalley, 54 years old on Inauguration Day) would be older than all three of the most recent Democratic Presidents. Even Lyndon B. Johnson, whom I had thought of as older before I did this research, was only 56 when inaugurated in 1965 for his full term. Not since Harry S. Truman (64 when inaugurated in 1949 for his full term) have the Democrats won the election with a candidate who had turned 60.
One possible scenario (among many) is that the leading candidates are Clinton and OMalley, with OMalley running to Clintons left. OMalleys principal appeal would be to Democrats who consider Clinton too corporatist and/or too hawkish. In addition, though, I think he would get some benefit from the age factor. I would still consider Clinton the favorite, but we could expect age to play a role. Age will also be an obstacle for Sanders if he mounts a campaign.
On edit: Added Schweitzer and Dean to the lists.

Do jurors still get reports?
I served on a jury for this post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014813409#post7
I voted to leave it alone, and it's still up so I assume that was the majority view. What confused me was that, several hours later, my DU Mail still doesn't have the "AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service" that I was expecting.
Is this a bug? Has the system been changed so that jurors no longer receive a full report of the results? If it's the latter, I think it's a change for the worse. I've found it very interesting and instructive to read the comments of the other jurors.
ETA: I finally received the report, about 12 hours after the alert!
On Wed May 28, 2014, 10:21 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
Wow, I did not know that fox commentators posted on DU
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
way over the top and this seems like flame bait too
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed May 28, 2014, 10:02 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
OK, so jurors do still get reports -- that's good to know. Unless an admin responds, I'll just assume there was some unexplained hiccup in the system. I find it hard to believe that the software needed all that time to find 7 willing jurors.

Right-wing economist admits error! (This blizzard must have caused Hell to freeze over.)
In 2009, famed supply-sider and Reagan adviser Arthur Laffer wrote a Wall Street Journal piece that was typical deficit hysteria: "Get Ready for Inflation and Higher Interest Rates". Pointing to the deficit and, even more, to the Fed's expansion of the money supply, he gave his confident prediction:
(S)uch a debt all but guarantees higher interest rates, massive tax increases, and partial default on government promises.
But as bad as the fiscal picture is, panic-driven monetary policies portend to have even more dire consequences. We can expect rapidly rising prices and much, much higher interest rates over the next four or five years, and a concomitant deleterious impact on output and employment not unlike the late 1970s.
So far, so normal. We've been hearing stuff like this from the right wing for years. It's not limited to Republicans -- I'm looking at you, Erskine Bowles. (See "Bowles, Simpson: Fiscal Crisis Could Come Within 2 Years" from March of 2011.)
What's different about this story is that, unlike most of his comrades in arms, Laffer has looked at some actual facts and revisited his prior prediction in light of real-world data:
Obviously, nothing like that happened.
In an interview with Business Insider from his office in Tennessee, Laffer admitted that he was wrong. The old maxim that dictates increasing the availability of cash through lower interest rates will lead to higher prices, he said, may need to be reexamined.
"Usually when you find the model this far off, you've probably got something wrong with the model, not that the world has changed," he said. "Inflation does not appear to be monetary base driven," he said.
(from "ART LAFFER: I Was Wrong About Inflation And The Fed", emphasis in original)
Now Paul Krugman will have to admit that he was wrong. He's written that these bad ideas are like cockroaches, that can't be eradicated, and like zombies, that continue to shamble about long after they've been killed. Perhaps he'll take heart that his sad observation, while mostly true, isn't completely true.

Glenn Beck: I Will Stand with GLAAD Against Russias Hetero-Fascism
I'm not enough of a Beck scholar to know if this is completely consistent with his prior statements (despite his overall right-wing orientation), or if he's open to the charge of embracing LGBT rights only because he sees an opening for bashing Putin. (As the old saying has it, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.) Either way, it's interesting to hear this from a prominent right-winger. Here's a Mediaite piece about one portion of an hour-long Beck appearance on CNN:
Beck told Cupp that he finds it ridiculous that Americans were debating Santa Claus race and a comment made by a Duck Dynasty star while, over in Mother Russia, laws have criminalized public homosexuality and a well-known TV celebrity actually called for the burning alive of gay people.
Hetero-fascism, Beck called it. And he said hed gladly stand with GLAAD in taking a stand against Russias anti-gay legislation.
. . . .
So Id consider this an even greater step forward. With this one soundbite, Beck has done more to speak out against Russias war on homosexuality than any of his conservative radio colleagues, thereby showing a willingness to admit that while his religious views may say one thing about homosexuality, he does not believe any government has any place legislating such morality. Not only that, but he mentioned fighting arm-in-arm with GLAAD, one of the rights biggest bogeymen.
At the link -- "Glenn Beck: 'I Will Stand with GLAAD' Against Russia's 'Hetero-Fascism'" -- there's a clip of 93 seconds from the hour, and even that short clip is mostly about whether Santa Claus is white. As Mediaite says, the "hetero-fascism" part is really just a soundbite. If I'd been the interviewer (S.E. Cupp), I would've followed up to get a better idea of his overall view on LGBT issues, but she apparently wasn't interested.

ACORN's latest insidious plot revealed by an intrepid FReeper!
Over at the FReakshow, they're in the middle of yet another of their interminable FReepathon fundraising drives. In raising the needed money, though, they face a wily bunch of adversaries, as FReeper 2ndDivisionVet has discovered. In a thread titled "FOLKS: Let's put this FReepathon to bed. We have more pressing problems to work on", he or she writes:
Everyone please send whatever you are able to, whether it is $10, $100 or $1,000+. The ACORNs, ANSWER commies, Code Pink, Union thugs, DUmmies, OFA's, HuffandBlows, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves.
So, even though ACORN faces the obstacle that the Republican-led (led? c'mon, don't quibble with me) House of Representatives has repeatedly defunded the organization, and even though it faces the possibly more serious obstacle that it entirely ceased to exist a few years ago, ACORN is still able to join with the DUmmies (that's us) and all those other evildoers in somehow frustrating the FReepathon.
Mr. or Ms. Vet sees dire consequences ahead: "Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads or some other radical thing." Uh, excuse me, "radical"? It sounds like "Jim may have to compete in the free market if he doesn't get enough handouts." What would Ayn Rand say?

An overlooked A-bomb issue: the wait-a-couple-weeks argument
Most of the defenders of the bombings assume that the bombings shortened the war and that nothing else would have done so. This is the implicit assumption behind all the posts about thousands of American deaths in an invasion of Japan.
But is that assumption accurate?
In early August 1945, the Japanese had drawn some encouragement from the Soviet Unions failure to act against them, even after the end of the war in Europe. They thought that there might be some kind of Asian solidarity against the Western allies, so that the Soviet Union might remain neutral and help to broker a peace agreement. The Japanese government had begun communications with Moscow to explore that possibility.
What the Japanese didnt know, but Truman did, was that a secret provision of the Yalta agreement called for the Soviet Union to declare war on Japan 90 days after V-E Day. Germany surrendered in early May. Right on schedule, three months later, after shifting troops thousands of miles, the USSR declared war. The largest army in the world (the Red Army) invaded Manchuria, where Japan held important conquests that the United States had not attacked. Japan surrendered a few days later. See the detail provided by former9thwar in this post in another thread.
Now, would Japan have surrendered without the atomic bombings? We cant know for sure. What we do know for sure is that Trumans decision made it impossible to find out. He had an easy and obvious alternative to hold off on the bombing for a few weeks and wait to see what effect the Russian attack would have. He could have continued preparations for any invasion, which even if it proved necessary would not have occurred until November 1 at the earliest. A short delay would not have imperiled any American lives.
In fact, one reading of the situation is that a major purpose of the bombing was that American planners wanted the power of the weapon to be graphically demonstrated not to a prostrate Japan, but to the Soviet Union. They were looking ahead to a postwar world in which the United States and the Soviet Union would be the two superpowers vying for influence. They thought that the atom bomb would give the United States an advantage in that struggle. They wanted to intimidate Moscow. That goal would not be achieved if the Soviet attack caused Japan to surrender with no need for (excuse for) the dropping of the bomb.
A cynical interpretation, therefore, rejects the contention that the bombing was prompted by a fear that, otherwise, many American lives would be lost because Japan would not surrender. The real motivation was a fear that Japan WOULD surrender. Planners in Washington didnt wait a few weeks because they wanted to get the bombing done while they still had the chance to kill scores of thousands of people, instead of just dropping it on some uninhabited island.
If, by late August, Japan had refused to surrender despite the Soviet Unions involvement, then consideration could be given to dropping the bomb. The arguments so common in the other threads we murdered civilians, Japan started the war and committed atrocities, etc. could be weighed then. People who support the bombings may argue about Nanjing all they like, if the context is A-bomb versus amphibious invasion, but I dont see the relevance of any of that to the alternative of a short delay.
Anyone who wants to defend the bombings must explain not only why killing all those people was preferable to not using the bomb at all, but also why dropping the bombs in early August was preferable to dropping them a little later if there was still no surrender.

A Pop Quiz About Federal Spending That May Surprise You
The quiz consists of four true-false questions:
Question 1: The federal government is spending a larger share of national income than at any time since World War II - true or false?
Question 2: The federal government is collecting a larger share of national income in taxes than at any time since World War II - true or false?
Question 3: Social Security is currently running a deficit - true or false?
Question 4: Health care spending is outpacing the growth of income - true or false?
The author speculates that most Americans would get at least one question wrong, and would perhaps blow all four. He provides the correct answers, with supporting data, but I've reached my four-paragraph limit and I wouldn't want to include a spoiler anyway.
This piece is hosted on Real Clear Markets, which is affiliated with Real Clear Politics, which is a right-wing site -- so I'm a little surprised to find an article by a Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. The comments, reflecting the site's normal orientation, are largely right-wing demands for lower taxes and attacks on government spending.

Right-winger suggests that Obama CAUSED Hurricane Sandy for political ends.
There's an interesting thread at redstate.com about the fiasco of Project ORCA (the Romney campaign's GOTV operation). In the lead piece and the comments, some folks who seem knowledgeable about computer issues describe the multiple failings of the campaign's honchos and hired consultants.
In among the comments is a real gem from wbb1950. He (I'm guessing "he") begins by disdaining any "conspiracy theory" to explain the election results. He nevertheless sets the groundwork for such a theory, by asking how else one could explain a victory by a president with "a track record of failure in foreign and domestic affairs" against such a credible challenger, and one whom the "credible pollsters" showed to be winning.
We then get 15 numbered paragraphs inviting us to connect the dots. We begin with 2008: McCain was leading in the polls, the financial crash caused him to lose, human beings can cause markets to crash, and Soros did so in Britain in 1992.
Then comes the parallel to 2012:
4. In 2012, Mitt Romney was surging in the polls a week before the
election. Then came the hurricane Sandy. Thereafter he lost the election.
5. No prior hurricane has devastated all major battleground states to this
degree. ... Was this the long awaited October surprise?
6. Human beings have the ability to manipulate weather patterns. Bush 43
set up project HAARP to generate sand storms in Iraq. Obama has expanded
15 Would a mind capable of dropping bombs on a civilian population have
moral compunctions against crashing markets and creating storms to secure
political power?
To their credit, even some of the redstaters mock this notion.
I won't worry about this unless it seems that wbb1950 has gotten wind of our plan for the October 2016 earthquake.

Today's post comes courtesy of Asian business expert A. Lau
Manners and customs are very different all over the world, and the last thing you want to do when visiting someone's home country for business is offend them. Here are nine diplomacy tips to keep in mind when doing business in China.
1. Don't Use First Names
It is considered rude to address someone by their first name unless they are a long-time friend or family member. In business situations, always use "Mr.," "Mrs.," and "Miss," followed by their family name, which comes first in their name.
2. Don't Smile at Strangers
If you smile at strangers or are overly friendly with them, it's considered rude. You should not act so familiar with people who you do not know very well. It's customary for introductions to be made by a third party, so do not just introduce yourself to everyone.
3. Don't Initiate Handshakes
The Chinese are not big on touching, especially in business dealings. Many men, however, will shake hands with Westerners, but you should wait until they extend their hand first before trying to shake hands. They may give a more limp, longer handshake than you're used to, but the lack of firmness is meant to be a sign of respect.
4. Insist on Paying the Bill
When you're at lunch or dinner, insist on paying the bill, because it's considered a sign of honor to do so. If someone else offers to pay the bill, you shouldn't let them do it without protest, so continue to insist on paying at least a little bit longer.
5. Don't Linger at Goodbye
The Chinese are not fond of long, sentimental goodbyes, and most of the time they'll say goodbye rather abruptly and quickly leave, such as after a meal is finished. Don't be offended if this happens. When saying goodbye, don't spend time lingering or being reminiscent about the visit, just say politely say goodbye and leave.
6. Limit Hand Movements
If you're a very animated speaker who tends to move your hands around a lot, try to limit that movement while in China. The Chinese consider excessive hand movements to be rude.
7. Keep Conversation Light
When talking to people in China, avoid talking about sensitive issues like politics and sex, and don't make comments on Chinese customs, because it is often taken as offensive. Don't be offended, however, if they make comments about yours. The best topics are food and family.
8. Watch Your Gestures
Placing your thumb between your index and middle fingers is considered obscene in China, and so is holding up your fist. Don't point or beckon to someone with your finger. If you're trying to get someone's attention, use eye contact. Winking is also considered to be rude, as in whistling. Don't be offended, however, if a Chinese person uses their middle finger to gesture.
9. Give a Small Gift
It's polite to give a small gift in business and social situations. Popular gifts are things like pens, fruit, wine, chocolates, and handkerchiefs. Do not give books, clocks or watches, or umbrellas, and avoid gifts that are green or white.

Shareholders revolt against Sorrell's pay at WPP AGM
Shareholders challenged the size and transparency of WPP chief executive Sir Martin Sorrell's pay package at the company's annual general meeting yesterday.
Sir Martin Sorrell: WPP chief's pay package challenged at AGM
Sorrell's pay reached to £29.8 million last year, an increase of 70 per cent on his 2012 total pay package of £18 million. The 2013 total included a base salary of £1.15 million and a cash and shares bonus of £4.1 million.
One shareholder at the annual general meeting, Keith Diego, used the opportunity for shareholders to question the board to criticise Sorrell's pay package.
He said: "At last year's AGM, the issue of his salary was raised and it looked like a victory for shareholder democracy. How can anyone be worth £30 million? He is on £24,000 per hour. Is this fair?"
Jeffrey Rosen, the outgoing chairman of the remuneration committee, said 80 per cent of Sorrell's pay was based on a five-year incentive scheme "which performed exactly as it was meant to perform".
He added: "We have reduced the overall entitlement and increased the overall degree of difficulty [in receiving it]. The payout this year was based on a plan supported by 80 per cent of the shareholder vote.
"It would be unfair if something that was put in place years ago, with the support of shareholders, was deemed to be no longer applicable and there may even be legal issues associated with doing that."
Andrew Miles, another shareholder, said the WPP board should consider setting up pay schemes that were "more simple and transparent for shareholders to understand.
But Rosen said pay for senior executives was worked out using the specifics of their roles rather than being generic to the company as a whole.
He added: "We would like to think there is a great deal of transparency over the nature of the pay schemes.
"A large component of compensation is variable pay based on a five-year period and even short-term pay is paid in the form of shares, because it is important for shareholders to believe that senior management is tied as much as possible to share values.
"I accept that there is complexity, but I hope there is transparency in it."
Rebecca Newson called on the board to adopt the Living Wage, currently £8.80 per hour in London, not just for those it directly employs but for contractors such as cleaners as well.
WPP's chief financial officer, Paul Richardson, said Newson had made "a very fair point".
During the AGM, WPP announced that revenues for the first five months of 2014 were up 1.2 per cent to £4.43 billion and that like-for-like revenues, profits and revenue margin were ahead of last year and in line with the company's targets.

I used to level my single story home. I bought 4 jacks to accomplish the job. All worked as expected. It is a struggle to get the jacks compressed after removing from the load.

it does not come ready to lift. I am still trying to make it work. Any new jack should be work ready upon purchase.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
U.S. Hospitals Told to Watch for H7N9 Bird Flu Cases
U.S. hospitals should be on the lookout for symptoms of H7N9 bird flu in people who have traveled to China or had contact with someone who's had the illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Those were among the measures for controlling bird flu and treating patients that were reviewed in a conference call the CDC held Thursday with health care professionals, according to agency spokesman Erin Burns, Bloomberg News reported.
On Friday, the CDC issued interim guidance on the use of antiviral drugs to treat H7N9 infections. Burns described the recent CDC actions as "routine preparedness measures for an outbreak with pandemic potential."
There have been 92 people infected with H7N9 bird flu in China and 17 of them have died, Bloomberg reported. The source of infection hasn't been identified and there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission of the virus, according to the CDC.
No cases of H7N9 bird flu have been reported in the U.S.
Dick Van Dyke has Undiagnosed Neurological Disorder
Dick Van Dyke is struggling with fatigue and other symptoms of an unknown neurological disorder and has been ordered to rest at home.
"Tests and scans have yet to reveal a specific diagnosis. Various medications have not diminished the symptoms," Van Dyke's spokesman, Bob Palmer, told USA Today. The 87-year-old actor has canceled a public appearance scheduled for New York next week.
Palmer said that thanks to Van Dyke's "strong constitution and years on a daily fitness regimen Dick is otherwise in good physical condition but the fatigue factor has become acute. Until there is a specific diagnosis and treatment plan he is advised against travel by flight and is resting at home in Malibu."
On Twitter, Van Dyke outlined his situation: "My head bangs every time I lay down. I've had every test come back that I'm perfectly healthy. Anybody got any ideas?"
Possible causes suggested by people included sinus issues, allergies, acid reflux and ear problems, USA Today reported.

Species come and species go, sometimes more go than come, but one genus of animal which has perhaps evoked more emotion than any other since the dawn of history is the Panthera or the Big Cats. Maybe because they are seen as one of the most dangerous groups of creatures on the planet, maybe because they are truly magnificent or possibly simply due to their beauty, Lions, Tigers, Jaguars and Leopards are loved, feared and revered the world over and have been hunted since the ice-age days of the Sabre Toothed Tiger.
Unfortunately, Panthera have been hunted to near extinction due to the insatiable appetite of humans for furs and supposed medicines made from their body parts. Several species have actually become extinct and one of these is the Bali Tiger. It is a great shame that these animals were hunted into oblivion as they posed little danger to human beings and pretty much kept themselves to themselves. They proved no match for the guns of colonial Dutch hunters and their already low number were last seen in the 1930's although some were thought to have survived till the 1950's.
One famous picture which has been often reproduced and displayed on the walls of Bali villa rentals shows a triumphant Dutch hunter with his retinue of staff celebrating the carcass of a Bali Tiger strung upside down on a pole carried by two of the party. 'Sport' hunting is a questionable activity anyway but to kill these magnificent beasts verges on the criminal.
The Bali Tiger (Panthera tigris balica) was one of the smallest members of the tiger sub-species, ranging to a maximum weight around that of a large male human! They were darker in colour than the Indian Tiger with fewer stripes and a larger patch of white on their underbellies.
Whilst the last of these beasts are thought to have died out more than half a century ago, there are occasional reports of big cats taking goats and other domesticated animals in the villages of Bali and some elderly Balinese swear that these are the last surviving members of Bali Tiger. Though there have been no confirmed sightings and there is close to zero chance of having one invade your Bali villa rental, these stories continue to surface every few years. With the growth in the Bali villa rental sector, there is virtually no forest land left in the south of Bali but in the north west there is still a vast area of mostly uncharted forest in the Negara National Park. So when you come here on vacation and you stay in Bali villa rentals, if you do see a tiger make sure you snap a photo or shoot some video footage as proof!

By the Beautiful Sea is a Broadway musical with a book by Herbert Fields and Dorothy Fields, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and music by Arthur Schwartz.
Produced by Robert Fryer and Lawrence Carr, the Broadway production, staged by Marshall Jamison and choreographed by Helen Tamiris, opened on April 8, 1954 at the Majestic Theatre, where it ran for 270 performances. Cast included Shirley Booth and Wilbur Evans. The orchestrations were by Robert Russell Bennett, sets and lighting by Jo Mielziner, and costumes by Irene Sharaff.
Like Arthur Schwartz' previous musical, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, also starring Shirley Booth, the musical is set in Brooklyn just after the turn of the century (1907). Shirley Booth plays the part of Lottie Gibson, a vaudeville performer, who also owned a boarding house in Coney Island (i.e., by the sea). Her clientele were show people. On one of her vaudeville tours she falls in love with a Shakespearean actor, Dennis Emery (played by Wilbur Evans). When he is to appear in Brighton, Lottie gets him to stay at her boarding house, where his divorced wife and daughter are also residents. The daughter tries to break up the romance, but Lottie succeeds in winning over the affections of both the child and the father.
The critics loved Shirley's performance. "Everyone has long since lost his heart to Miss Booth," exclaimed Brooks Atkinson in the New York Times.
A cast recording of the original production is available.

Can this nurse be saved?
- 1Sep 24, '12 by hotflashionSome of you old enough to recognize the structure of the title (Can this ... be saved?) might be amused. Maybe not. I come from a family that makes jokes when the circumstances are dire, and mine are dire right now.
I have to say, I shot myself in the foot.
I was recently fired. For writing another nurse's initials on a MAR. I did it on impulse, to plug the hole; I had nothing to personally gain from this action, and everything to lose.
I've had very few nursing jobs since graduating in 2009 after (oh, how ironic) a stellar academic career: two jobs were seasonal and two were at substandard places that did not do things the right way. At the first of those two places that did not do things the right way, I recognized it, felt that my license was in danger, gave my notice and kept my wits about me until I finished my two weeks. Then I reported them to the Department of Public Health and the Division of Industrial Accidents and got satisfaction from what was found.
The second time around, I felt more desperate to keep the job, and didn't pay attention to the danger signs that I was becoming overwhelmed. Instead of rising above it all, I allowed myself to be dragged down into the muck.
Both places I worked at filled holes in MARs at the end of the month. And in both places, although an attempt was made to get the nurse on shift to plug the hole, sometimes it was not possible and the hole was plugged, one way or another, by someone.
Is there anyway I can redeem myself?
- 7Sep 24, '12 by blondy2061h, MSN, RNYes, you can. Start applying for new jobs, and be upfront about why you were fired, where and why you picked up that practice (filling in holes in the MARs) and how you want to start fresh and what you're planning on doing differently. People make mistakes, and hopefully some facility somewhere will recognize that it's sometimes better to hire someone who has already learned from their mistakes than to hire someone who will end up learning from their mistakes on the job.
- 0Sep 24, '12 by hotflashionThank you blondy. I will read and heed.
- 1Sep 25, '12 by RoyalPrinceYou used another nurse's initials on MAR? I am sorry thats forgery on a legal medical document. There are no excuses. you could have caused THAT nurse in a trouble as well with your actions that you did not foreshadow.
- 0Sep 25, '12 by chevyvI guess you now know that you should never sign anothers name/initials on anything. I leave a sticky note reminding a person they need to sign something. Although I hate the holes, it's all CYA for me! It's not worth the loss of your job and the only thing I can say is that I bet you will never do that again.
- 1Sep 25, '12 by sissiesmamaIn reading your post, OP, I almost feel like we've worked at the same facility. I haven't worked there in a LONG time, and when I got out of school as an LPN and got hired it really had a stellar reputation in the community. I left as soon as I could find another job, but it was a scary place before I left.
We had the month long MARs and toward the end of every month, the DON and some of the other "PTB" would start trying to get initials done. My charge nurse got really ugky one night, they were expecting a state inspection any day, and she told me that before I left my shift the next am, all the spots without initials needed to "be there" or else. Needless to say, I wasn't employed there long after that.
Anne, RNC
- 9Sep 25, '12 by Hygiene Queen, ADN, RN GuideQuote from sissiesmamaI guess if she was so worried about it and didn't think signing your initials to things you didn't do was okay, I would kindly suggest that she fill those holes with her own initials.the DON and some of the other "PTB" would start trying to get initials done. My charge nurse got really ugky one night, they were expecting a state inspection any day, and she told me that before I left my shift the next am, all the spots without initials needed to "be there" or else.
- 0Sep 25, '12 by sissiesmamaYep, I got out of there as soon as I could.
- 4Sep 25, '12 by PunkBenRNLesson learned. Chin up, wash the dirt off.
- 0Sep 26, '12 by acbrn88Ahs blatantly wrong as it sounds to do that , I too have worked LTC and understand the unreasonable expectations of management. You can get bogged down. Did, they report it to your BON? If not apply for other jobs and be up front about the whole thing. Thats the only thing you can do!! And also... how hypocritical of them for letting you go. Watch out for stuff like this in the future and just put your foot down. I have been asked to do un-ethical things (LTC) and its why I left. Back-timing things and putting someone elses initials in are a big deal, shame on them for expecting such. Lessons learned the hard way are the ones never forgotten!!

Jaclyn Carpenter, a junior studying American Studies, took a moment after finishing her finals to wander around Marvin Grove — know the feeling? But Jaclyn told us her semester was a good one. Her favorite class this year? Jewish American Literature, "because professor Cheryl Lester really knows how to engage with her classes." This made us want to know: What was your favorite class and why? Jaclyn added some advice: "You're only on this campus for four years, so take any free time you have to explore all the unique wonders it has." We love that idea, Jaclyn. #exploreKU

The ADP5520 is a versatile single-chip, white LED backlight driver with a user configurable I/O expander. This device fits handset applications where the flip or slider section of the phone requires backlighting, I/O signaling and detecting, auxiliary LED lighting, and keypad functions. By incorporating an I2C® compatible serial interface and a single line interrupt, the ADP5520 significantly reduces the total number of lines required to interface with the baseband processor across the hinge flex.
The ADP5520 can detect ambient light levels and adjust the backlight brightness accordingly, resulting in extended battery operation.
Once configured, the ADP5520 is capable of controlling the flip/slider backlight intensity, on/off timing, dimming, and fading without the intervention of the main processor, which results in valuable battery power saving.

My Romanian friend from Freshome loves black and white bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens and I'd like to have more color now.. like for example this here.. <– click
Black'n'white is elegant and if it's used adequately and harmoniously, it enlarges space and breathes extravagance.. Those who love that will find some ideas below to steal.. As for me, I'm moving on to colours..

A Unique Family Engagement Solution
When families are involved at school, students achieve more and schools thrive.
Scholastic's Read and Rise®
program offers the perfect family engagement solution... just ask E.W. Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School, which hosted a Read and Rise Book Fair last month.
The event kicked-off with a Scholastic Book Fair, followed by a research-based Family Fun Time workshop where families learned how to help their children become strong readers and learners. Afterward, families created their own books together during a build-a-book make-and-take activity. Plus, every student received a $5.00 Reading Certificate to pick out their own book at the Fair thanks to Title 1 funding and the generosity of local business sponsors.
"Families got information and there was a hands-on component. There was some modeling done. There was a take-away. There was excitement, and it ended with the Book Fair, where everyone got to walk away with books," said Principal Patricia Crain de Galarce.
"It was an event that had the capacity to cut across income levels," adds Eleanore Simms, Parent Coordinator. "It got parents and kids excited about reading. And it got them excited about doing it together."

Recovery Of Triple-Fatal Capsized Boat Delayed Again As New Theories Emerge About Cause
The effort to recover the boat that capsized on the 4th of July, killing three children who were in the cabin, was delayed for yet another day after murky water slowed down divers' efforts to pull the vessel up. Investigators hope on Wednesday, however, to elevate the submerged boat, starting a process of getting clearer answers to the cause of the triple fatal tragedy. Those answers may prove different than the main theory considered so far.
Tuesday also saw the funerals of two of the three children who died on the water after a coastal fireworks display. Victoria Gaines, 7, would have turned 8 last Friday. On the day after the third victim, David Aureliano, 12, was laid to rest, Gaines and Harlie Treanor, 11, were buried.
"He's a very distraught and bereaved man right now," James Mercante said about Harlie's father, Kevin Treanor. Mercante is the attorney for Treanor, who owns the Kandy Won, the vessel that capsized and sank. "It's a terrible tragedy," Mercante said, "and coupled with what he sees on TV with investigators and FBI, that's disturbing as well."
He was referring to the effort to recover the vessel, which is being carried out by investigators from the FBI and the Nassau County Police Department, with help from members of the NYPD dive team as well.
Their efforts were thwarted by conditions beneath the surface, and by the simple difficulty of raising a waterlogged 34-foot boat from the sea floor 60 feet below the water line.
"The boat is shifting in the water," Detective Lt. John Azzata said at a newsconference in the marina in Theodore Roosevelt Park where the recovery effort is headquartered. "It's a slow, tedious process," Azzata said. "It's moving forward, but it's [doing so] very slowly."
Azzata said that two divers at a time plunge down below the boat, and are in the process of running long straps in a criss-cross pattern across the vessel. The straps will be attached to massive inflatables, which will lift the boat to the surface.
Investigators had hoped to have the boat out of the water by Tuesday evening, but the effort will have to wait, and Azzata said that's not necessarily a problem. "It would be more frustrating if we had people unaccounted for," Azzata said, adding that since the whereabouts of all 27 people on board, including the three deceased children, seven other children and 17 adults were known, it was necessary to take time to do a thorough investigation.
"We'd like to have this [evidence] as pristine as possible," Azzata said about why the recovery is being done so meticulously. Investigators have now interviewed almost all of the adults who'd been on board the Kandy Won as well as some of the private boaters who rescued them on Independence Day. Having the boat remain as close as possible to the condition it was in when it went under allows police to best proceed with the next phase of the case.
"We'd like to match the physical evidence [on the boat] to what they've described to us," Azzata said, referring to everybody interviewed. Boat owner Kevin Treanor's attorney said that he and his fellow attorneys representing the insurance company contracted by Treanor had also interviewed people on board.
Contrary to initial theories regarding the cause of the capsizing, attorney James Mercante said, "I don't believe overcrowding is an issue." He said that he is a former U.S. Navy captain and is a Merchant Marine Academy graduate, and that the federal government does not have a capacity limit on vessels longer than 20 feet. The Kandy Won is 34 feet and had 27 people on board. There are recommended guidelines for weight, and the boat may have not violated those.
Instead, Mercante said, the cause of the capsizing may have been something the skipper, Sal Aureliano, the uncle of one of the victims, was not aware of. For that reason, said Mercante, the recovery of the vessel is key.
"We'd like to know if something... may have failed below the water line" on the night of the crash, he said, adding that the vessel may have taken on water in its hull without anybody knowing.
Multiple boating experts have told PIX11 News similar information. "It may not be [the pilot's] fault," Jeff "Bird Dog" Bartels, a 20-year veteran yacht mechanic and owner of Bird Dog Marine said. "His boat probably took on water in the hull. It's common. Then when something [on the water] caused the boat to shift, it capsized."
Bartel said it could have been prevented with a water level alarm in the hull. "More expensive boats have them," he told PIX11 News. "This boat did not. They only cost about $100."
Bartel said he's working with Suffolk County legislator Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills) to require all boats in that county to have a water alarm. Stern is also drafting legislation requiring all boaters to take a boat safety course.Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

Sniper: Ghost Warrior (PC download) - £1.99 from Green Man Gaming
Joe90_guyfound 2 years, 4 months ago
Surprised that someone hasn't flagged this up already but Green Man Gaming are selling Sniper: Ghost Warrior for the PC at £1.99. The reviews of the game are so-so but for the price (nominally 90% off!) I thought it worth a punt. This doesn't activate on Steam.

Yeah I have it free. Will happily trade it, like I do for all (except Commandoes III) for other games - after Tropico 4 and Worms Mayhem when they come down to a realistic price. I never bought them in the Steam sale, hoping they'd come down to that level on GreenMan

There is no catch
You basically buy a game and have the opportunity to trade it in for some cash later (except for games requiring other systems like Steam, Origin, etc as they are unable to revoke these license keys when you trade in)
Capsule (their installer manager) is very lightweight and doesn't get in the way.
I've bought a few games through GMG, and I'm always there to pick up the freebies as even if you don't want the game you can trade it in for cash off a game you do want later.

Holiday hoops watchFriday, December 26th, 2008
Just back from my Christmas vacation, I've been doing some reading to see how area basketball teams did in their holiday tournaments earlier this week.
In games played locally, Tates Creek won the inaugural Lady Admirals Tournament at Danville, beating each of the other four teams in round-robin play.
The Mercer County girls' Anderson Circle Farm Titan Christmas Clash (yeah, it's a mouthful) tips off Monday morning with a field of 12 teams. (See full schedule below this post.)
Here's a look at how Advocate-area teams fared in the first round of holiday tourneys, as well as what they'll be doing in the coming days:
Boyle County: Went 2-1 at McCreary Central, reversing an 0-6 start with a run that included a 56-48 win over Somerset, which had beaten a less-than-fully-armed band of Rebels 69-42 just a couple of weeks before. Plays Sunday-Tuesday at Corbin, beginning with a first-round game against South Laurel.
Casey County: Went 1-2 at Gatlinburg, Tenn. Plays Monday-Wednesday at Wayne County, with a first-round game against Moore.
Danville: Went 2-2 at Bryan Station, including a 68-66 win over Lincoln County. No tourney next week.
Garrard County: Went 3-1 at East Jessamine and West Jessamine, its only loss a 57-51 decision against West. Plays Sunday-Tuesday at Campbellsville.
Lincoln County: Went 1-2 at Bryan Station, losing to Danville and Henry Clay. Plays Saturday, Monday and Tuesday at Windermere, Fla., with a first-round game against Okechobee (Fla.).
Mercer County: Went 2-2 at Bowling Green, with wins over Hart County and Warren East. Plays Monday-Wednesday at Russellville, with a first-round game against Murray.
Boyle County: Went 2-1 at Caverna. Plays today-Sunday at Bourbon County and Paris, although the Lady Rebels aren't listed in a schedule I saw for that event.
Casey County: Went 3-0 to win a tourney at Gatlinburg, Tenn., and shake off the dust of a 3-2 start, beating Hendersonville (Tenn.) Beech 62-58 in overtime in the title game. Plays Saturday, Monday and Tuesday at Campbellsville, with a first-round game against Spencer County.
Danville: Went 2-2 in its own tournament, including a 57-54 win over Mercer County. Plays Monday and Tuesday at Nicholas County, with a first-round game against Jenkins.
Garrard County: No pre-Christmas tourney. Plays Monday-Wednesday at Madison Central (in a tourney hosted by Madison Southern, which is without a gym this year), with a first-round game against Mason County.
Lincoln County: Went 3-1 at Lexington Catholic, following a first-round loss to Lexington Christian with wins over Newport Central Catholic, Clay County and Owensboro Catholic, Plays Saturday, Monday and Tuesday at Windermere, Fla., with a first-round game against Lynn Haven (Fla.) A.C. Mosley.
Mercer County: Went 0-3 at Danville. Plays Monday-Wednesday in its new tournament, with a first-round game against Oldham County. The full schedule:

Avacado & Kidney Bean Salad
(1 Recipe) Created by RJURADO
Recipes in this Collection
This is a yummy salad that is very flexible. Try subbing olive oil/balsamic vinegar as a dressing. Remember avocados are a little bit higher in the mono saturated (healthier) fats but also a great source of fiber! On the 2nd round of this salad, I tried adding dill and some rinsed, canned chicken. That was also good. Enjoy :)

Regain Privacy with Dense Holly Trees
The Nellie Stevens Holly is a dense privacy evergreen that's not only adaptable, but is loaded with style and pizzazz.
This beauty is a gem in any landscaping design and easily fits into smaller spaces with precise pruning; or it can also be planted as a centerpiece with its conical shape.
You'll appreciate how this holly maintains its lush, deep green foliage all year long. Nellie Stevens leaves are thick and lustrous, making it perfect for hedges.
Springtime brings the appearance of discreet white flowers that will mature into bright red berries by fall. The scarlet berries are a glorious vision against the deep green foliage, and you'll definitely want to clip a few branches to decorate your home for the holidays.
This Holly's nearly impenetrable leaves make it a natural privacy hedge and easily blocks out neighbors and noise. Plant several in a row 5-6 feet apart and you'll get a handsome and well-designed privacy hedge.
The Nellie Stevens Holly is equally at home as an accent tree- setting off the corners of a house or your patio.
Nellie Stevens is a low-maintenance, fast growing evergreen- and it practically thrives on neglect. Just plant it and watch it grow, up to 3 feet per year. You simply trim it to match whatever height you prefer.
This holly does very well in urban areas where air pollution can be a problem for many trees and shrubs. It's perfectly suited in small strips of soil along a sidewalk or street.
If you're a bird watcher, you'll enjoy how the berries attract a variety of birds such as robins, cedar waxwings and mockingbirds. As a bonus for you, deer steer clear away from the Nellie Stevens Holly.
This plant is happiest in partial to full sun, is drought-tolerant and adapts to most any soil type.
Our Nellie Stevens Hollies are delivered to you lush and healthy and ready for rapid growth. This Holly is selling fast, so order yours today.
Due to the extreme winter season, all orders sent to the highlighted regions below will be delayed.
All orders are shipped the next business day unless your live in the highlighted regions above. If you do not live in these areas, but still want to delay your delivery, just call us at 800-399-9514.
We ship via FedEx. We've tested all the major shipping carriers, and FedEx is the quickest and most reliable.
You'll receive well-developed plants, not tiny quarts. These older plants bloom faster, give you more color, and require less maintenance. Don't be confused by companies that call little plants "big" or "jumbo".
Tree sizes listed are measured from the dirt line to the top (we do not include the roots in height measurements like many companies). Plus we will never chop your tree down in order to get it to fit into a smaller, cheaper box. Your trees are pruned throughout the year to encourage better form. This process may take us an extra year or so, but you get much better results.

I've never been shy about saying "I told you so." Now we're seeing the foreclosures I predicted back during the real-estate boom. A lot of people are going to end up holding paper that isn't worth the price of the ink on it.
I make no claim to special vision and certainly no claim to being an economist. But I do like history. And I remember what I read. Florida had a big real-estate boom in the 1920s. It became so frantic that people were buying and selling options on property. Then it all collapsed.
An acre of ground that the week before sold for $6,000 couldn't be sold for $2. Some of the banks that had made foolish loans ended up with thousands of acres of palmetto scrub, and there was nothing they could do with it except pay the property taxes and hope for improvement sometime in the future. Florida was full of people who were "land poor," and for some it lasted well into the 1950s. Even some towns went belly up, because you can't collect taxes from people who don't have any money.
Ghostly monuments to the bust were all over Florida. You might see an ornate Italian arch over a dirt road where some developer had hoped to see thousands of people living. Now the dirt road just goes into the woods.
There was a dilapidated sign that said "Rocket City" outside of Orlando as late as the '70s. The nearby paved streets were cracked with weeds and grass. Not a house was visible. It was so isolated, the cops said drug dealers would land small planes on the streets in the middle of the night.
In West Florida, right on the beach was a three-story concrete shell that had intended to be a hotel.
Of course, things did improve decades later. The stock salesmen are correct when they say to invest for the long haul. The trick is to remember that human life doesn't last for the long haul. Many a poor man died during the Great Depression.
Greed drives the booms and inflates the bubbles. Insiders usually cash out before the bubble bursts, but those suckers someone said were born every minute are lulled into believing that what goes up keeps going up and never comes down. I long ago gave up the belief that you can save people from themselves.
One factor people often overlook is inflation, which is depreciation of the dollar's buying power. The town house I live in was probably built for no more than $14,000 in labor and material and initially sold for maybe $25,000. Now, years later, it's appraised at about $110,000. Well, guess what? It didn't turn to gold during those passing years. In fact, it got older and, as all things do, began to wear out. In other words, $110,000 inflated dollars will buy you a secondhand $25,000 house. And, of course, if the neighborhood goes to hell, even the inflated price will fall.
I learned something else from observation: The economy is like a yardstick that floats upright in the water. The high-income folks are at the top. The low-income folks are at the bottom, just above the waterline. When the economy dips, the low-income people go under, while the high-income people stay dry. So the market for high-end products will keep on chugging even as the low-income folks drown.
The old rules of sound personal finance always apply, especially during a bubble. Don't live beyond your means. Don't buy more than you can pay for. Don't expect to get rich quick. And don't confuse salesmen for friends or advisers.
