Bill Analysis
Legislative Service Commission
127th General Assembly
(As Introduced)
Sens. Carey, Padgett, Goodman, Schaffer, Mumper, Coughlin, Cates, Harris, Buehrer
· Prohibits classroom teachers employed by school districts from striking and instead requires binding arbitration to settle unresolved collective bargaining disputes.
· Requires the Legislative Service Commission to study the effect of the binding arbitration requirement on school districts.
· Makes an appropriation.
Prohibition on strikes; submission to binding arbitration
(R.C. 4117.14 and 4117.15)
The bill prohibits classroom teachers employed by school districts from striking. Instead, those teachers must submit to a final offer settlement procedure, also known as binding arbitration, to settle unresolved collective bargaining disputes with their employers. In the event of a strike by district teachers, the district board of education may seek an injunction against the strike from the court of common pleas. Under the bill, school district teachers are treated like certain other public employees, such as law enforcement and safety personnel and health service workers, who are prohibited from striking under continuing law.
Background on public employee collective bargaining negotiations
Under the Public Employee Collective Bargaining Law (R.C. Chapter 4117.), all matters pertaining to wages, hours, or terms and other conditions of employment are subject to collective bargaining between a public employer and the "employee organization" (union) that represents the employer's public employees.[1] That law specifies timelines and requirements for negotiating collective bargaining agreements. In the event the parties are unable to reach an agreement, they may submit, at any time prior to 45 days before the collective bargaining agreement expires, the issues in dispute to any mutually agreed upon dispute settlement procedure that supersedes the statutory procedures (R.C. 4117.14(C)). If, 50 days before the the agreement expires, the parties are unable to reach an agreement, either party may request the State Employment Relations Board (SERB) to intervene. SERB must investigate to determine whether the parties have engaged in collective bargaining. If an impasse exists or 45 days before the expiration date of the collective bargaining agreement, SERB must appoint a mediator to assist the parties in the collective bargaining process. Any time after the appointment of a mediator, either party may request the appointment of a fact-finding panel. (R.C. 4117.14(C)(2) and (3).)
The fact-finding panel must submit the panel's findings of fact and recommendations on the unresolved issues to the public employer and employee organization. Not later than seven days after the recommendations are sent, the appropriate legislative body, by a three-fifths vote of its total membership, and in the case of the public employee organization, the membership, by a three-fifths vote of the total membership, may reject the recommendations. If neither rejects the recommendations, the recommendations are deemed agreed upon as the final resolution of the issues submitted and a collective bargaining agreement must be executed between the parties, including the fact-finding panel's recommendations, except as otherwise modified by the parties by mutual agreement. If either party rejects the recommendations, SERB must publicize the findings of fact and recommendations of the fact-finding panel. (R.C. 4117.14(C)(5) and (6).)
If the parties are unable to reach agreement within seven days after the publication of findings and recommendations from the fact-finding panel or if the collective bargaining agreement has expired, the public employees who are permitted to strike may strike in accordance with statutory procedures. Those public employees who are not permitted to strike[2] must submit the matter to a final offer settlement procedure with a conciliator selected by the parties. (R.C. 4117.14(D).)
Final offer settlement procedure for employees not permitted to strike. Parties to a collective bargaining agreement who are not allowed to strike must submit their unresolved collective bargaining issues and other matters mutually agreed to by the public employer and the exclusive representative of the union to a final offer settlement procedure. The conciliator may attempt mediation at any time, but the conciliator must hold a hearing within 30 days of SERB's order to submit to a final offer settlement procedure, or as soon after as is practicable. Not later than five days before the hearing, each of the parties must submit to the conciliator, to the opposing party, and to SERB, a written report summarizing the unresolved issues, the party's final offer as to the issues, and the rationale for that position. The conciliator may request SERB to issue subpoenas for the hearing and may administer oaths. The conciliator must hear testimony from the parties and provide for a written record to be made of all statements at the hearing. SERB must submit the written report and recommendations of the fact-finders for inclusion in the record and for consideration by the conciliator. (R.C. 4117.14(G)(1) to (6).)
After the hearing, the conciliator must resolve the dispute by selecting, on an issue-by-issue basis, from between each of the party's final settlement offers, taking into consideration factors such as past collective bargaining agreements, the interests and welfare of the public, and the public employer's ability to finance the proposed issues. The conciliator must promulgate a written opinion and order upon the issues presented to the conciliator. Increases in rates of compensation and other matters with cost implications awarded by the conciliator may be effective only at the start of the next fiscal year, except that if a new fiscal year has commenced since the issuance of the SERB order to submit to a final offer settlement procedure, the awarded increases may be retroactive to the commencement of the new fiscal year. The parties may, at any time, amend or modify a conciliator's order by mutual agreement. Final offer settlement awards are subject to the Arbitration Law (R.C. Chapter 2711.) and are subject to review by the court of common pleas having jurisdiction over the public employer (R.C. 4117.14(G)(7) to (11) and (H)).
LSC study
(Sections 3 and 4)
The bill requires the Legislative Service Commission (LSC) to monitor and study the effects of the bill's provisions for the five-year period beginning on the bill's effective date. The study must evaluate the following:
(1) The amount of money saved by school districts because of the requirement to submit to binding arbitration to resolve collective bargaining disputes;
(2) The impact of the binding arbitration requirement on the quality of education and labor-management relations in public schools and on the wages of classroom teachers employed by school districts;
(3) The effectiveness of the binding arbitration requirement in preventing disruption in academic programs; and
(4) Other related subjects as determined by LSC.
LSC must submit a study report to the Speaker and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and the President and Minority Leader of the Senate. This report is due by the last day of the five-year study period. The bill appropriates $50,000 from the General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2009 for LSC's expenses in conducting the study.
[1] R.C. 4117.08, not in the bill.
[2] The following public employees are not permitted to strike: members of a police or fire department; members of the State Highway Patrol; deputy sheriffs; dispatchers employed by a police, fire, or sheriff's department or the State Highway Patrol or civilian dispatchers employed by a public employer other than a police, fire, or sheriff's department to dispatch police, fire, sheriff's department, or emergency medical or rescue personnel; members of an exclusive nurse's unit; employees of the State School for the Deaf or the State School for the Blind; employees of any public employee retirement system; corrections officers; guards at penal or mental institutions; special police officers appointed by a managing officer of an institution under the jurisdiction of the Department of Mental Health or the Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities; psychiatric attendants employed at mental health forensic facilities; or youth leaders employed at juvenile correctional facilities (R.C. 4117.14(D)(1)).

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn
Updated: May 10, 2013 6:13AM
Regarding the woman awarded $55,000 after disobeying a police officer: As a pregnant woman and mother of two children, you do everything to protect your children in life and in utero.
A person should know that disobeying and disrespecting a police officer results in certain consequences. An officer is not a medical professional. He or she is not required to have a civilian fill out a medical history form prior to taking measures to uphold the law. By choosing to ignore an officer's requests, a person puts him or herself in danger and (if pregnant) an unborn child in danger.
Paying this woman $55,000 for her actions tells other civilians and her children, who were seated in the back seat, that it is not only OK to disobey the law, but rewarded.
We have lost sight of what is right and wrong here, not to mention what it teaches future generations about law enforcement and respect.
Brooke Street, Garfield Ridge
Raise minimum wage
Friday's editorial, insisting that "Illinois can't afford to raise minimum wage," fell far short of making its point, instead citing compelling evidence for raising the minimum wage. The authors note that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity since 1960, it would be $21.72 an hour, $13 above the state's current minimum. Then, inexplicably, they argue that employers will be forced to ship jobs to other states if faced with raising wages a fraction of that amount.
Businesses may threaten to leave, but today's minimum-wage jobs are largely service jobs. Businesses couldn't ship these jobs — burger flipping, car washing — out of state if they wanted to. And the truth is they don't want to. Most minimum-wage businesses are thriving because of high worker productivity. They are raking in profits because their low-wage employees work hard. Yes, teens need jobs, but adults need them more. When adults make more money, they spend it to feed and clothe their family. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago has found that a $1 increase in the minimum wage results in $2,800 a year in new spending for each worker, resulting in more jobs being created. The bottom line is that Illinois can't afford to not raise the minimum wage.

Firstly I think this site looks great, and once it gets a lot of data in it, it has the potential to be fantastic!
A couple of things I'd like to see from what I've done so far:
When planning trip – I would like to plan in local currency, and have the budget auto convert to my currency – that way I don't need to reconvert to update
Also, it would be great to interlink with the estimate costs fuction – i.e. to import the average daily cost rather than needing to enter individually.
Happy to explain further if necessary
That's exactly the website i'm looking for! Here are some things if can be improved:
1. "save as" button: .xls or .pdf file
2. "private link" button: especially if i want to keep my budget plan not in public to others but just few people I choose, who can access the page by the unique link.
Thanks for your great job!
Can't seem to add anything to the budget or do much of anything. It keeps saying, "There are no activities planned with selected criteria."
So uber excited about this site, have already shared with a few friends.
Unfortunately, when trying to log in or create a trip i get the following error message:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/12/d310477359/htdocs/include/tripDAO.php:173) in /homepages/12/d310477359/htdocs/docreatetrip.php on line 17
Couple of comments:
– When adding expenses, shouldn't the date month default to the date month for the beginning of the trip? Every time I enter an expense I have to tab over from Feb to Sept when the trip is planned.
– Once expenses are added, the only option is to delete them, why no edit? Its a pain to delete & re-enter with updated info.
– I was adding an expense for Avignon, and the first option "avignon region of france" was not selectable for some reason, so I just picked some other random location w/ similar name
Otherwise this site & idea have promise.
I agree with treven. An option to edit an expense would be very helpful and time saving.
Also, for some reason I am not able to sway currencies when adding an expense in the "Plan your Trip" tab. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, though I was not able to fix this. Any help on this would be great.
Overall I think this idea is brilliant and I am sure it would grow really fast.Cheers.
**I meant – I am not able to switch currencies when adding an expense in the "Plan your Trip" tab.
Having trouble inputting the correct dates. While I found the correct format after inputting dates correctly once, I inputted the dates for an activity; however, the dates did not come out correctly but placed them instead as random dates back in the late 1960's and early 70's.
What appears to me to be a significant annoyance in an otherwise well designed website is the fact that the calendar does not automatically jump to the period in which you have planned your trip.
In my case I'm planning a trip during the end of the summer. When I started the trip I entered the dates I wanted to travel. Now when I add an expense, the default date should be within the time period of the trip, not today's date in February
Hey —
Just trying this out, seems cool. A couple of notes:
I'm planning a roughly 3 1/2 week trip, where I don't expect to spend money every day. In budgeting, I've entered my airfare and anticipated expenses. The 'average daily expenditure' calculated, though, seems to be based only on the # of dates that I entered anticipated expenses … even though it should be calculated based on the length of the trip. So, spending $100 on one day out of a week-long trip (while spending nothing on the six other days of that week) yields a $100/day average expenditure, rather than $14.28.
Also, I'm going on a volunteer trip where I'm going to need to purchase supplies ahead of the trip. Right now, I've entered those expenditures as purchases made on the day the trip begins … but it would be awesome if there was a way to enter an anticipated expenditure without a date. Just a general "$100″ camping supplies, or something.
It would also be really cool if you could somehow track what purchases had already been paid for (like, checking off airfare purchased, that sort of thing) or comparing your budget to a fundraising effort.
This all being said, I think the concept is cool and I'm enjoying tinkering around with it. It's also very possible that some of the things I mentioned can be done, just I haven't discovered how to, yet! If that's the case, please feel free to let me know, anyone! ;)
Best, whit
Great tool and I am happy to input costs, but I have a suggestion (or actually two)
You should include a category for health care. Many people end up having to visit hospitals, clinics, doctors and dentists while on the road and it is always good to know that you can expect in terms of costs.
Second I see you are already working on separate categories based on more data such as luxury, budget, business. Can I also suggest family?
Thanks and keep up the hard work and I will do my best to continue to contribute data for you!
I'd like to see an option for cruises. I'd rather put in the total cost of the cruise rather than break it down by day. There's no option for at sea days either, so when I have two of them on my trip, two cities look like they get extra days.
I'd also like to see an option for travel insurance. I put it under health care, but it covers everything, so that isn't totally accurate.
Also, it'd be nice to see the travel costs shown differently than the location – if it showed cost to get from A to B, then return costs from B to A instead of how I had to do it now, which was set just the destination city. You wouldn't need a box for number of days either.
Another thing I noticed, is if I put in two days at something, it didn't seem to double the per day cost. So if my daily cost was $100 but I put in two days, it would still show on my itinerary as $100.
I love the idea of this site and I can't wait to use it more! I hope my data helps.
I have only just started but it seems as if I can only budget once I get to my main location. What if I am driving there and it takes a couple of days. I would like to be able to budget my gas, meals, etc. I also think it would be great to have a gas calculator for one area to another. I will keep trying to figure it all out.
you need to add Ho Chi Min city
I think the budget for Laos is EXTREMELY high- $28/day! Holy! My spending ranged from $4-$15/day … $15 being a very nice guesthouse. Food is dirt cheap!
Why not another language? Ex. Spanish, Portoguese, Italian, etc. Many people around the world don't speak english and need a help to travel. It's just an idea, becouse my english is not good.
It would be helpful for me the traveler and your database if I could add cities that do not exist in your database…as it is I had to use Vancouver BC Canada instead of my actual Destination Surrey BC Canada.
Hi Bryan,
thanks for this wonderful site, we are adding all our expenses since almost 7 month and it's quite interesting to compare the different countries etc ..
We do have two feature request/bug reports:
– I can't seem to add values smaller than 1. If I enter a value like "0.5" in the field "Local Currency" the field below shows "error". We have a lot of expenses that are small then 1
– Is there a way to automatically extend the amount of fields in the "Bulk Upload Form" once you reach the last field? Many times we have to fill a second or even a third page for the same day by pressing "Add More Activities". Especially on slow Internet connections this can be quite time consuming.
What do you think? Thanks again, great work!
I read all the comments and replies so I knew what not to repeatedly ask for ;)
Ok that being said I am going to repeat something anyway :P
I'd like to see the ability to track insurance costs (as another person suggested) but usually this item covers the whole trip not per day so I don't know how you would calculate this per trip day or what because some people extend their insurance if their trip takes longer.
I also noticed there is an option to track itnercity, local and international transportation (I mentioned this on twitter) what isn't clear is whether I should put in the destination or the departure? (someone suggested that you should make it possible to put in the previous city you were just in and your destination and most trips take 1 day unless you're sailing, driving or on a long distance train, etc so I don't know that you would do a daily average unless you're buying food enroute.
I can't seem to figure out where/how I would track/input transportation costs for the start of my trip, so again as I mentioned before would I put in the origin or the destination?
Oh yeah, here's another suggestion I realize that the cost tracking is supposed to be either in your default currency or the local currency (which makes sense) and then there are some countries who use other currencies unofficially and then SOME countries have more than one official currency (or so I thought?); so anyway perhaps allow me to input the cost of a particular item in the currency I purchased it in otherwise I will have to convert it (well guess I will have to anyway) how does this site determine conversion rates?
Firstly want to say thank you as this is a fantastic concept. I have been struggling to budget for our year RTW trip so it is great to have all the city averages to hand.
As we are travelling for a year there is a lot of info to input and a lot of days to repeat. Is there a way to do bulk deletes or bulk amends if you make an error, ie you have entered 30 days accommodation for a location but want to amend the price or delete all the accommodation entries and re-enter them.
Thanks again
It would be a lot easier to use if you could set multiple items during the same "session". For example, if I am trying to budget for 14 days in City X – it would be nice to just type in City X for [the days I'll be there] and then fill out the amount for every expense: accommodation, food, transportation, etc. and then save it.
Instead of currently having to type in the city, enter the budget for food, select the days, save it….Open a new instance, enter the budget for hotels, select the days, save it… Open a new instance, enter the budget for [whatever], select the days again, save it again… etc.
You even list average expenses for every category on the side bar when the city is selected, the user should be able to check off which ones they want to add, adjust the amounts, select the dates, and it should be added to the budget all at once.
Mass deletes would be really helpful too.
First of all, I love your site. I've been using it for over a year to track our RTW expenses. I would like to embed a pie chart of category expenses into my blog, but am unhappy with how it looks… the colours are too similar to one another, so people can't just determine which category is which at a glance. I would like to see each category be a unique colour in the pie chart.

Egyptian Revolution: Eyewitness Story
After returning from Egypt in February, Imam Suhaib Webb shares his experiences and reflections about the peaceful Egyptian Revolution.
Please continue to keep the people across the world who are struggling for freedom and human rights in your du`a' (prayers).
5 Comments
thank you my dear brother in Allah
welcome back! may seven years of hardship yield a harvest of knowledge to those who had been thirsty for a relevant fiqh in pax americana.
Dear Imam Suhaib Webb,
Your talk moved me in so many ways. I hope that here in America we as Muslims find the courage to stand up for what is right, not only for ourselves but for all. With Peter King's hearings and a growing sense of Islamophobia, Muslims must unite to bring a message of peace and tolerance. Alhumdulillah, there is still good left in this Ummah, and inshAllah it will change the world. الأمة فيها خير ..
Thank you again Imam..
Alhamdulillah a very humbling and emotional account of Egypt.Jazak'Allahu khayran for sharing.
Dear Imam Sahaib Webb,
This video of you giving an impassioned report on your witness of true Muslim goodness among the young people of Egypt in the recent revolution has touched my heart very deeply. Before I die I would like to meet you and hug you. I only read about you today in an LA Times article by Raja Abdulrahim.
I am so proud of you I can hardly contain my joy. We have more in common than our family name. I am 75, born in Lawton, OK, and am a retired professor (U. of Chicago, U. of Washington, and Pepperdine University) and international authority on East Asian history and religion (BA from Abilene Christian College, MFA, MA and PhD from the University of Chicago.) My wife and I retired in 2004 after after 47 years of university teaching and administration.
You could be my grandson. Except all the Webbs in my family were short, so maybe we are not related by blood. Nevertheless, I consider you my brother in all things holy. I, too, eased myself out of my Church of Christ upbringing, beginning from around 6 years old. But I had a grounding in languages and morals from my preacher father, R. O. Webb, who with my mother Bonnie were administrators in the Ft. Sill Indian School. Like you I am fluent in languages other than English.
But enough of myself. If you are interested you can learn more about me on my blog and even on the Facebook page my granddaughter put up for me. But I intend to keep looking at your life and career, and pray that God will continue to bless you.

I never played any other Quake games and picked this up just fine. It's like Halo and carries the space, futuristic, and alien theme. The story is pretty good but much darker and more gruesome than your average shooter, and the single player campaign will take you 10 hours to beat. It's creepy an...more

Well, the last comic shop in my town just closed the other day, and from what I hear this isn't just a local phenomen, either. The comics industry is in a slump. To a certain extent, I can understand this: muscle-bound, tight-wearing superheroes are starting to get a little old, but there are still quite a few quality books out there. Any thoughts? Opinions? Disagreements?

ANGLICAN-RELATIONS Jul-29-2009 (810 words) xxxi
Anglican leader's concern for unity reflects Vatican concerns
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Vatican concerns about how some recent decisions of the U.S. Episcopal Church will impact the search for full Anglican-Roman Catholic unity are echoed in a reflection by Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury, the head of the Anglican Communion.
Writing July 27 about the Episcopal Church's recent general convention, Archbishop Williams repeatedly referred to the need to keep in mind the ecumenical implications of local church decisions in addition to their impact on the unity of the Anglican Communion as a whole.
Archbishop Williams' reflection, titled "Communion, Covenant and Our Anglican Future," was published on the archbishop's Web site at http://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/2502.
In a statement July 29, the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity noted Archbishop Williams' concern for maintaining the unity of the Anglican Communion through common faith and practice based on Scripture and tradition.
The Vatican office "supports the archbishop in his desire to strengthen these bonds of communion, and to articulate more fully the relationship between the local and the universal within the church," the statement said.
"It is our prayer that the Anglican Communion, even in this difficult situation, may find a way to maintain its unity and its witness to Christ as a worldwide communion," it added.
The Episcopal Church's general convention adopted two resolutions that may further strain relations within the Anglican Communion and with the Catholic Church: One affirmed that all ordained ministries, including the office of bishop, are open to all the baptized, including gays and lesbians; the other called for the collection and development of theological resources for the blessing of same-sex unions.
Last year the Lambeth Conference, a gathering of leaders from around the Anglican Communion, strongly urged all members of the communion to respect moratoriums on ordaining openly gay bishops and on blessing same-sex unions.
After their general convention, the leaders of the Episcopal Church wrote to Archbishop Williams, saying that their resolutions do not signal the end of the moratoriums, but rather describe the position of the U.S. church.
Pope Benedict XVI and his top ecumenical officer have said the Episcopal Church's position on homosexuality and its ordination of women as priests and bishops make full Anglican-Roman Catholic unity appear impossible.
Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, told the Lambeth Conference last year that what is at stake "is nothing other than our faithfulness to Christ himself."
While recognizing the Episcopalians' desire to respond to what they see as a pastoral need, he said the Catholic Church is convinced that its teaching that homosexual activity is sinful "is well-founded in the Old and in the New Testament" as well as in Christian tradition.
And, the cardinal said, the Catholic Church also believes the fact that Christ chose only men to be his apostles means the church is not authorized to ordain women.
Responding to challenges posed by modern sensitivities requires solutions that are clearly in line with the teaching of the Gospel and of Christian tradition, recognized not only by Roman Catholics, but also by the Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, Cardinal Kasper had said.
In his reflection July 27, Archbishop Williams said the Anglican Communion clearly opposes prejudice against homosexual people and denounces any attempt to limit their civil liberties.
But, the archbishop said, "if society changes its attitudes, that change does not of itself count as a reason for the church to change its discipline."
"In the light of the way in which the church has consistently read the Bible for the last 2,000 years," he said, any major change in church practice must have "a strong level of consensus and solid theological grounding," as well as take into account "the teachings of ecumenical partners."
Recognizing the authority of and particular circumstances faced by local churches, the archbishop still insisted that a local church needs "some way of including in its discernment the judgment of the wider church. Without this, it risks becoming unrecognizable to other local churches, pressing ahead with changes that render it strange to Christian sisters and brothers across the globe."
Accepting major changes to church discipline and practice without the consensus of the entire communion, he said, "would be to re-conceive the Anglican Communion as essentially a loose federation of local bodies with a cultural history in common, rather than a theologically coherent 'community of Christian communities.'"
Archbishop Williams' reflection theorized that the future of the Anglican Communion may involve two styles of relationships: one that fully shares "a vision of how the church should be and behave," and another less formal style of associated churches that work together in areas of common agreement.
Anglican Communion representatives to ecumenical and interfaith dialogues would be drawn only from members who fully share the communion's vision and teachings so that the Anglicans' ecumenical partners would know who they are talking to at the dialogue meetings, he said.

As you can see from all the green sprouts it is time to get serious on dehydrating all the garlic I still have from last fall. It took me about 4 hours to break up the cloves, peel them, and slice them for the dehydrator. It made about 3 half pint jars and I used the Foodsaver vacuum sealer lid attachment on the jars to store them. Today I did another batch (Ontario Purple Trillium) that size but it went much faster because it was a different variety that had larger cloves and were easier to peel. The skins just popped off. I still have 2 more bags of garlic in the studio waiting and my son wants me to do his (which I will gladly do). It will be great to have it all done and know I didn't plant as much for this coming summer.
Next fall when I plant I may stick to the Ontario Purple Trillium and Bavarian, both of which have large easy to peel cloves. I've found I'm no garlic connoisseur so there is no point to growing a big variety, especially since I never managed to get to Farmer's Market to sell some last fall like I had planned. But it was fun trying some different kinds.

Dehydrating Garlic
Labels: dehydrated food, garlic
2 comments:
I was on a hike a couple weeks ago where dehydrated produce was the way to go. Somebody brough along some dehydrated garlic slices that beautifully brought out the flavour of our noodles.ReplyDelete
Great work on your huge harvest. I only wish the internet could allow us to taste a little! :-)
Thanks Pavel - I wish I could give internet tastes too. Dehydrating concentrates the flavors and I have a few varieties that are quite hot.Delete

SNIF Tag lets you log into your dog's life
If you hire a dog walker, how do you know if he's out and about with your dog, or just sitting around your pad, watching soaps and raiding the fridge? If you need to find out, and a private dick seems too extreme, the SNIF Tag may be your best bet.
SNIF Tags attach to your dog's collar, and use motion-sensitive sensors to wirelessly transmit all the pooch action — sleeping, eating, running — to a base station in your home. The tags can even record encounters with other SNIF-equipped dogs. Of course, the tag must be within 80 feet of the base station to transmit information, so it won't do much good if your hound is sniffing his way through a dog park.
After logging into the SNIF website, you can catch up on your dog's action remotely, and if he encountered any other SNIF dogs, you can click around to find its owner. Now, if this sounds like a promising way to get a date, might I recommend a Virtual Boyfriend/Girlfriend instead. The tags are undergoing beta trials in Boston and New York, and are due in the spring for around $200.

Ana Gjokutaj, Communications Officer in the Tirana Office, offers this story.
Lisa, graceful and tall, looks strong, but her eyes betray her concern as she walks across a short hallway in Albania's capital to the mammography room for a routine screening. Her fear is understandable. The 48-year old had a mastectomy after doctors diagnosed a malignant lump in her left breast and treated Lisa for cancer.
Lisa has come here from Erseka, a small city 240 km from the capital Tirana to follow her health situation. It isn't that far as the crow flies, but the road is bad and climbs over mountains. A one way trip can take most of the day on public transportation. Until recently Lisa had no choice but to make the trip. This was the only place to get a mammogram in a country with a population of just over 3 million. But next time Lisa won't have to travel far. A new mammography unit is now operating in the city of Korca, less than an hour drive from her home town.
With support from the World Bank, the Health Ministry put four state-of-the-art mammography machines in four big cities in different areas of Albania at a cost of US$1.9 million. The test will be free to all patients.
Each year, 400 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in Albanian women. Most of them are discovered at a late stage, when the disease has advanced, is hard to treat, and often results in death. Doctors say that being able to diagnose cases early will mean better chances of survival and higher possibilities of a cure.
The new mammography unit at the Oncology Hospital in Tirana has advanced technology. In addition to taking images, doctors can also remove tissue to biopsy cells in order to get a precise diagnosis.
"On average, there are 10 mammography examinations per day," says Ilir Loci, technical staff at the Oncology Hospital in Tirana. "Among those examinations, there are the ones at an advanced stage of the sickness."
Testing through mammography is still new to Albanian women. There has been a lack of information and no tradition of preventive health care for breast cancer checkups. Prevention is still in its infancy; most women go to the doctor when the sickness has already "settled" in the body.
"I was under stress for a long period of time in the family, and later I noticed the nodes. I was scared," says Anita from Tepelena, about 200 km from Tirana. "I had my prejudices about this disease and I had to travel long distances, so it took me a year until I came for the test and started the treatment. The doctor said I should have come earlier and the treatment would have been more effective and less painful. But I'm doing well."
This situation is starting to change. There are campaigns aimed at women to raise their awareness of breast and cervical cancer. And a new campaign is about to be launched urging health care practitioners to routinely screen women for breast cancer and to refer them for mammograms.
Statistics show that the yearly cost of treating a cancer patient ranges from 15,000 to 40,000 Euros, depending on how far advanced the disease is. So early diagnosis will both increase women's chances of living longer and reduce medical costs.

Elan, Wyeth Play by Own Rules in Alzheimer's Trial
Elan (ELN) and Wyeth (WYE) are using a new and unproven endpoint to measure the memory and mental status of patients in phase III trials of their experimental Alzheimer's drug bapineuzumab, say sources familiar with the studies' protocols.
By creating their own test to measure bapineuzumab's efficacy, Elan and Wyeth are seeking an alternative to the so-called ADAS-cog, despite that test's imprimatur as the gold standard measure of cognitive function. The ADAS-cog has been used as the basis for approval for all Alzheimer's disease drugs to date.
Elan has devised a new clinical endpoint, which it calls the Neuropsychological Test Battery, or NTB. The Irish drugmaker has used the NTB in previous studies of its Alzheimer's drugs to demonstrate improvements in the mental status of patients when similar measurements using ADAS-cog showed no benefit.
This is the first time, however, that Elan and partner Wyeth will attempt to convince regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Europe that the NTB should be considered as the basis to approve a new Alzheimer's drug.The companies are pushing the test even though the NTB has not yet been independently validated by anyone outside the two companies, nor has it ever been used as a primary endpoint in any pivotal trial for Alzheimer's. The ADAS-cog test, by comparison, is the most widely recognized and utilized measure of cognition in Alzheimer's drug trials. All four Alzheimer's drugs currently on the market used the ADAS-cog test as the endpoint of their phase III trials. As well, the only other two drug companies with experimental Alzheimer's drugs in phase III studies right now -- Myriad Genetics (MYGN) and Medivation (MDVN) -- are using the measure as their primary endpoint in their respective studies. Dr. Peter Davies, an Alzheimer's researcher at New York's Albert Einstein College of Medicine, questions why any company would seek to develop an alternative cognitive test when the standard and well-understood ADAS-cog test has proven time and time again to be entirely adequate. "What we need are better Alzheimer's disease drugs, not better tests," says Davies. "If a drug cannot show improvement in cognitive function using the ADAS-cog test, then the drug is not worth bothering with."
Unusual StepThere is intense interest in bapineuzumab, both from the Alzheimer's research community and Wall Street, because it is the first antibody drug in Alzheimer's to reach phase III studies. Bapineuzumab is so closely tracked because it has been designed to actually improve a patient's memory and mental status instead of merely temporarily treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Any drug that can modify or reverse the course of Alzheimer's will generate billions of dollars in sales. The potential for blockbuster profits from bapineuzumab has pushed Elan's stock price higher. Shares hit $26 earlier this month, a level they hadn't seen since 2005. Elan and Wyeth have announced plans to conduct four bapineuzumab phase III trials, which will track approximately 4,000 patients with mild to moderate forms of Alzheimer's. Two of those studies began enrolling North American patients in December; the remaining two studies, to be conducted in Europe and the rest of the world, are expected to begin soon. To date, neither Elan nor Wyeth has announced publicly the primary efficacy endpoints of these studies. The companies have stated only that the efficacy of bapineuzumab will be measured using one cognitive and one functional endpoint. Two Alzheimer's researchers familiar with the study protocols for the bapineuzumab phase III studies have confirmed that NTB was chosen as the primary endpoint, with the ADAS-cog test listed as a secondary endpoint.

Olivia Wilde is a bonafide stunner, so it typically doesn't matter what she wears. When I first spied her in this L'Wren Scott look at the premiere of her new movie "Deadfaull," I loved it. But on closer inspection, it seems a little dowdy and mumsy. Like, I could see somebody's grandma wearing it to a Christmas eve church ceremony. And maybe it's not showstopping enough for a premiere. But what do you think? Is it a yay or a nay in your book?

Edinburgh City Breaks
A guide to Edinburgh
Edinburgh features a beautiful and wonderfully atmospheric city, packed with fine architecture and brimming with history. The Scottish capital is a delightful city for strolling, with most of the major sights within a manageably compact central area. The principal attraction of Edinburgh is the look of the city itself and the delightful contrast between the narrow medieval streets of the Old Town, and the graceful, elegant Georgian architecture of the New Town. All trips here inevitably centre on the two great thoroughfares, the Royal Mile and Princes Street, and the truly magnificent castle that sits above the city. The hilly nature of the city, along with fine parks and viewpoints make Edinburgh a favourite with those that like to explore on foot.
Exceptional beauty, and a feast of culture
The city is particularly rewarding for lovers of art and architecture, with many local museums and galleries featuring fine historic buildings, or the latest in contemporary architecture and design. The summer months are packed with cultural events, culminating in the famous Edinburgh International Festival, but the city's reputation as a centre of European culture rests on far more than the festival alone. Visitors will find a cultural treat at any time of year with world-class ballet, classical music, opera and dance. All weekends will find plenty of live rock, folk and jazz in pubs and small music venues, and plenty of lively nightlife. Aside from culture and history, there's excellent shopping, a profusion of cosy cafes and traditional pubs, a huge choice of restaurants and a lively nightlife scene.
Atmospheric all year round
No trip here can guarantee fine weather but many visitors are pleasantly surprised by the amount of sunshine, and the city can be very atmospheric in a March mist or a frosty winter morning! Christmas and New Year are incredibly popular but some may find the city too crowded, so for an interesting weekend trip with far fewer tourists, try spring or autumn when the weather is reasonably mild.

|Ana Sayfa MemoTV Haber arşivi İletişim
Mehmet, Yeliz and Melisa Okur had a nice little vacation perhaps for the last time as a three member family before they returned back to Salt Lake City. The reason is that Yeliz is expecting their second child in February, and God willing they will be a four member family when they return to Turkey next summer. Yes Melisa will have little brother or sister in the pretty near future.
Memo whose season was ruined when he was hurt at the end of the season, and had to delay the start of his personel workouts until he was completely recovered from his injury, feels that he will be able to prepare much better for the new season in Salt Lake City where he will be able to use the Jazz facilities. Memo feels daily workouts at the facilities will be more effective and said that, "I have been working out for a while now with my personel trainer Goran Zufar. I am getting the rust off. However I feel that I will be much better prepared for the new season if I continue my workouts at the Jazz facilitites." .
Memo said that both Yeliz and him wanted a little vacation with Melisa, just the three of them before their return and added that "The next time we come home Melisa will have a kid brother or sister. As soon as we start the preseason there is no time for any sort of a thing resembling a vacation so this was important for both Yeliz and myself. We wanted the three of us to be together. Or perhaps I should say all three and a half of us.".
Yeliz is very happy and excited that she will be a mother for a second time. Yeliz said that Memo wanted to be very well prepared for the opening of the preseason and that it was a mutual decision adding, "Last season and the way it ended was a shocker for Memo. It was a tough time in our home, he was getting focused for the play-off's and he got hurt. It took him a while to get completely over the injury. He could not do his usual conditioning and workouts for quite a while. Memo feels that if he does not do his routine workouts everyday he is not right. So he wants to catch up.".
Both Memo and Yeliz stated that it is not going to be leaving their families and friends this quickly, but both added that "We miss our families and friends a lot. They also miss us very much. However they all understand Memo's need and wish to be ready for the season the way he feels is right. Both our families are very understanding and supportive in this sense.".
The Okur couple also commented on Melisa having a little bay sister or brother, "We both feel she will be an excellent big sister. She is like a friend to us both. And we feel she will adjust easily.". We wish the Okur family and their upcoming baby a long, healthy and happy life together as memo13 staff.

Synaptics Merges Touch Powers with Display Tech
Article Comments
Feb 8, 2011, 11:47 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Synaptics today announced a new series of touch displays called ClearPad that integrate the touch controls directly into the display itself. The ClearPad Series 3 and 4 combine multi-touch technology with the display driver (DDI) into a single-chip component. Synaptics says that this reduces the cost, reduces the weight and thickness, and improves performance. Synaptics says it is already working with device makers, and it expects hardware with the ClearPad technology to hit the market during the second half of 2011.

Elizabeth Geddes & Gavin Krasner are Chops for Tea.
One of us writes, the other designs. Well actually both of us design, imagine, strategise, create and make things happen through design, copywriting, brand jiggery-pokery, a bit of smoke and mirrors, ye olde two card mime trick and simply messing about — though not in boats. No boats.
Insurance Box is a revolution in the Australian car insurance industry. We developed their brand assets, designed their visual identity, wrote their online advertising campaign, directed their animations and wallpapered their office.
For Mossimo we gave an entirely new framework to their famous identity, created extensive brand guidelines and developed a whole new packaging system across their complete product range.
For Ampersand we reinvigorated an out-of-date identity, differentiated the sectors of the business with seals, had fun with pattern and gave them stand out in a conservative environment. In 2013 we completely revamped their website which helped to keep them the market leaders. (The fact that they're positively brilliant at what they do had a lot to do with that of course!)
What's with all the cats? In the Gambolling section you'll be able to see what we would be doing if two little friends of ours called work and money didn't need our attention so much. Do you know them? Needy little buggers. Anyway here you'll also be able to get your hand on exclusive artworks, books and prints courtesy of our friends at Rensark Industries.
We work from home, or maybe that's we home from work: but that's just how we like it. You can share in all of our off duty shenanigans in Bleating. From our tending to the vegetable patch, deciding what's for tea, pottering about, chasing after #1, #2 and Pikelet (The Office Cat) to Lizzie's personal favourite: What we're arguing about.
Great work for great clients
We've done an edit of our most recent work. It was like playing favourites with the children.
We've got things to say
A lot goes on at CFT_HQ from arguing about the price of tinned tomatoes to growing freakazoid vegetables. How do we get any work done?
Our extra curricular frolics
When we're taking a break from not actually doing any work we're extremely busy with the enormity of pottering about and playing duck goose.
The whole kit and kaboodle
You could spend hours here disappearing down various rabbit holes. You might end up in the 90s, but hey, that's ok. We were there and they were pretty good.
Who, what, where
Once upon a time there was a little girl and a little boy. How we laugh.

Mayor Vincent C. Gray Swears in Commission on African Affairs
Mayor Vincent C. Gray Swears in Commission on African Affairs
On Wednesday, April 11, over 100 community members representing the broad diversity of the District's African community filled the Mayor's Briefing room (G-9) at the John A. Wilson Building on Pennsylvania Avenue to usher in 10 new appointees to the Commission on African Affairs to be sworn in by Mayor Gray. The event was kicked off with an energetic welcome and introduction by the Office on African Affairs (OAA) Director Ngozi Nmezi who thanked the Mayor for his ardent and evident commitment to the District's African communities, and his tireless effort to build One City, in which all residents – irrespective of differences - are guaranteed quality of life.
In his opening remarks, Mayor Gray emphasized the vibrant contribution of the African community to the District's social and economic vitality, and highlighted two sets of statistics that point to the steady growth and increasing relevance of the District's newest constituent base: "approximately 10% percent of the nation's foreign-born African population lives right here in the DC metropolitan area, making the District second to the New York area" and "African immigrants are the fastest growing immigrant group in the nation, exhibiting a swift 30 percent population growth." Following introductory remarks by the Chair of the Commission on African Affairs, Attorney Loide Jorge, the Mayor led the swearing-in of the newly-appointed Commissioners who collectively pledged to fulfill the duties of the Office.
OAA Director Nmezi then presented OAA's accomplishments in FY11 and FY12. Some highlights were a) highly successful business seminar: "From DC to Africa: Growing Local, Going Global," held on April 6 which launched OAA's Business Development, Engagement and Support Series, and was attended by over 250 District businesses and entrepreneurs seeking resources and opportunities for growing their businesses locally as well as exporting and investing in Africa to create jobs in the District of Columbia b) the launching of OAA's African Dialogue Series with a Black History Month event held in February titled "Celebration of African Contributions to America: Forging a Bond among the People of the Diaspora for the Betterment of All" which brought 150 people together in an event that combined a historical perspective on African migration, a look at civic participation and public engagement in the District & an exploration of new opportunities through US-Africa trade for diaspora engagement, job creation and economic development in the District; and finally c) OAA's robust and growing internship and volunteer programs which have brought dynamic and highly-skilled talent and capacity to the OAA team.
The Director also unveiled the Office's strategic direction for FY12 which mirrors Mayor Gray's six key priorities, and gave an overview of the six programmatic areas that OAA will be focusing on to respond to the most pressing needs in the African community identified during the first months of Mayor Gray's administration. Finally, the Office's Capital City Fellow, Mamadou Samba, presented a thorough and comprehensive report entitled the "State of Africans in the District of Columbia" which profiled key characteristics of the African immigrant communities in DC, and underscored the challenges as well as potential moving forward. Above all, the report highlighted the need for more targeted research and data collection that would give District government, decision makers and policy makers an accurate and grounded understanding of this new and growing immigrant community.
Concluding the event, the Mayor's Commissioners on African Affairs made individual pledges in front of the community at large stating the specific OAA programs and endeavors they wish to support to ensure the welfare and development of the District's African communities.

Steger is a village located on the border between Cook County and Will County, Illinois, United States. It is 35 miles (56 km) south of Chicago and had a population at the 2010 census of 9,570.[1]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2012)
In 1893, John Valentine Steger opened a piano factory on 20 acres (81,000 m2) of land alongside the railroad south of Chicago Heights. With 324 residents, the village incorporated in 1896. John Steger agreed to pay $400 toward incorporation costs to ensure that the name of the town be dubbed "Steger" rather than "Columbia Heights". Steger & Sons Pianos were made in the village until 1926. By 1920, Steger was considered by some as the "piano capital of the world",[citation needed] producing more than a hundred pianos a day.
Steger & Sons built exceptionally high quality, expensive pianos from 1893-1956 in the village of Steger. Unfortunately they are quite rare today.[2]
Steger has been a regular stop on the annual "Driving the Dixie" event since its inception. This event involves participants driving down the historic Dixie Highway in the Chicago Southland and visiting various communities along the way.[3]
Steger is located at 41°28′14″N 87°37′52″W / 41.47056°N 87.63111°W (41.470530, -87.630984).[4] According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 3.45 square miles (8.9 km2), all land.[5]
Steger has two main parks: Harold Hecht (Fireman's) Park and Veteran's Park.[citation needed]
As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 9,682 people, 3,862 households, and 2,506 families residing in the village. The population density was 2,747.3 people per square mile (1,062.0/km²). There were 4,051 housing units at an average density of 1,149.5 per square mile (444.3/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 87.61% White, 6.30% African American, 0.34% Native American, 0.49% Asian, 0.09% Pacific Islander, 3.08% from other races, and 2.10% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 8.07% of the population.
There were 3,862 households out of which 31.4% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 49.6% were married couples living together, 10.4% had a female householder with no husband present, and 35.1% were non-families. 29.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.51 and the average family size was 3.15.
In the village the population was spread out with 25.0% under the age of 18, 9.6% from 18 to 24, 33.1% from 25 to 44, 21.0% from 45 to 64, and 11.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 100.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.8 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $43,275, and the median income for a family was $54,347. Males had a median income of $40,598 versus $26,398 for females. The per capita income for the village was $19,816. About 6.0% of families and 8.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 11.2% of those under age 18 and 5.9% of those age 65 or over.
Steger is divided between two congressional districts. The area in Cook County is in Illinois' 2nd congressional district, while the area in Will County is in the 11th district.

Woman jailed on burglary chargeAugust 06,2014Woman jailed on burglary charges
A Rutland woman was jailed Tuesday on $25,000 bail, charged with breaking into a home on Wheelerville Road in Mendon and stealing several items including two cases of beer.
Lynn M. Campeau, 37, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of burglary and a misdemeanor count of unlawful mischief.
Judge Theresa DiMauro set bail at $25,000 for Campeau, who remained in the Rutland jail Tuesday evening.
Vermont State Police arrested Campeau after receiving a call Monday from a woman who said she gave the woman a ride to a home on the remote dirt road Sunday to grab items Campeau said shed left at her mothers home there.
The woman told police Campeau directed her to a home on the road and then told her that her mother had forgotten to give her a key so she had to climb through a basement window to get in, according to court records.
Campeau eventually came out with several bags, and as they were driving away Campeau allegedly began laughing and confessed to her friend that her mother didnt own a camp.
Campeaus friend, who police say was worried that she had been an unwitting accomplice, told police about the incident and troopers spoke with the Wheelerville homes owner, who reported minor damage to his locks and two cases of beer missing.
Police say they later recovered the beer from Campeaus refrigerator.MORE IN This Just InPigs nearly managed to fly in Connecticut, terrorized hikers in Maine and drew a police response...
