Improving Immunization Rates: What Can the Law Do?
Many of us are concerned at the rise of cases of preventable diseases and the role played in that by the decision by a minority of parents not to vaccinate their children. One question is what, if any, legal tools are available to address non-vaccination. This article attempts to map out the available tools.
Note that the focus of this article is what the law can do, not what the law should do. The fact that a legal tool is available – i.e. Constitutional, can be enacted or used by the courts – doesn't automatically mean it should be. I would, in fact, argue that some of the tools discussed here shouldn't be used in the context of immunization – in most circumstances, forced vaccination and criminal law are inappropriate. But mapping out what's available seems like a useful first step in the discussion of what the law should do. The goal of this post is to provide a menu of options and a more or less logical way to classify them. My hope is that setting out what's possible would help us think through what is desirable.
Poll: how do you pay for your immunizations?
Until recently, I didn't think there was much of an issue about patients or parents paying for vaccines. My perspective is certainly USA-based, but it would be interesting to see how people are paying for their vaccines.
Supreme Court upholds health-care law, individual mandate
The Supreme Court of the United States upholds Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, including the individual mandate. This is shocking news, but an important piece of legislation.

How Our Modern Way of Life Is Built on a Long Legacy of Slavery

When Americans think about slavery, we think about the Civil War, cotton plantations in Georgia, and the legacy that those centuries of bondage left in the United States. But we forget that, 200 years ago, the institution in various forms extended throughout the world: hundreds of millions of Chinese and Indian peasants were in debt bondage to landowners, indigenous slavery was widespread in Africa, and most people in Russia were serfs.
No slaves suffered more, however, than those who were force-marched to the African coast and, if they survived, transported in the packed, suffocating holds of sailing vessels across the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. Here, too, we forget that it was not just to the United States that these ships brought their human cargo. Far greater numbers of captive Africans in chains were shipped to the West Indies and to Latin America, especially Brazil. There, and in the Caribbean, the tropical climate and its diseases made field labor particularly harsh and the death rate especially high. At one time or another, however, slaves could be found almost everywhere in the Americas where Europeans had settled, from Quebec to Chile.
Slavery was the cornerstone of the modern world in more ways than we can imagine today. The structure of banking, insurance, and credit that underlies international commerce, for instance, has its origins, at least in part, in the "triangle trade": slaves being transported from Africa to the Americas; slave-cultivated products like cotton and sugar traveling from the Americas to Europe; and trading goods meant to buy yet more slaves moving from Europe to Africa. Because a voyage on any leg of that triangle might last months and risked shipwreck, bankers, merchants, and ship owners wanted systems that both guaranteed payment for losses and protected their investments.
Historian Greg Grandin is the author of remarkable -- and highly readable -- books like National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist Fordlandia and his most recent work, The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World. Today, he vividly suggests just how the bodies of slaves became something on which our world was built, zeroing in on one connection that we seldom think about -- the development of modern medicine. —Adam Hochschild
The Bleached Bones of the Dead
What the Modern World Owes Slavery (It's More Than Back Wages)
By Greg Grandin
Many in the United States were outraged by the remarks of conservative evangelical preacher Pat Robertson, who blamed Haiti's catastrophic 2010 earthquake on Haitians for selling their souls to Satan. Bodies were still being pulled from the rubble -- as many as 300,000 died -- when Robertson went on TV and gave his viewing audience a little history lesson: the Haitians had been "under the heel of the French" but they "got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.' True story. And so, the devil said, 'OK, it's a deal.'"
A supremely callous example of right-wing idiocy? Absolutely. Yet in his own kooky way, Robertson was also onto something. Haitians did, in fact, swear a pact with the devil for their freedom. Only Beelzebub arrived smelling not of sulfur, but of Parisian cologne.
Haitian slaves began to throw off the "heel of the French" in 1791, when they rose up and, after bitter years of fighting, eventually declared themselves free. Their French masters, however, refused to accept Haitian independence. The island, after all, had been an extremely profitable sugar producer, and so Paris offered Haiti a choice: compensate slave owners for lost property -- their slaves (that is, themselves) -- or face its imperial wrath. The fledgling nation was forced to finance this payout with usurious loans from French banks. As late as 1940, 80% of the government budget was still going to service this debt.

Temporary Bonding Solutions
Thinned silicon wafers are fragile and require a temporary rigid support that allows the wafer to be successfully processed further for stacking. When finished, the thin processed wafer must be separated from the rigid support using a simple, cost-effective process, without resulting in damage.
The bonding materials used to attach the device wafer to the rigid support, or carrier, must meet very stringent requirements. They must survive extreme temperatures, harsh corrosive and solvent chemistries, and mechanical stresses created by thermal excursions. They must also permit separation (debonding) of the very delicate wafer from the rigid carrier, and leave no residue after debonding and cleaning.

Affiliate marketing in mobile? Not just yet…
The rise of mobile in affiliate marketing is a hot topic on the eConsultancy blog today, after Matt Swan offered his latest findings on the growth in the space, building on his previous analysis back in March under the premise that 2011 was set to be the year of mobile commerce.
Affiliate Window has released their mobile sales data to shed some light on the situation, and the results throughout the second quarter have been encouraging for those retailers and affiliates looking forward to the big mobile pay day.
So, growth over past months has been impressive, but are we there yet?
As you'll see in the article, the percentage of mobile sales seen through Affiliate Window has risen steadily, but the iPad is seeing the biggest growth, with the highest conversion rate for mobile devices (3.5%), and it's noted, this is probably because it feels more like a laptop to the user. Which, according to Skimlinks' CEO Alicia Navarro, is why the mobile in your pocket isn't going to bring in massive returns, just yet.
Alicia draws a comparison with users researching a purchase online, and then buying offline, with users researching a purchase on their mobile, then making that purchase when they get back to their computer.
"Yes, people are researching on their phones, but they're not buying. People will buy on tablets, but there's still the perception for the majority that a mobile is 'unsafe' for processing purchases. But, by next year, I'm expecting there will be a critical mass of people comfortable enough to make purchases via their mobile, the ecosystem will evolve to accommodate it, and then it'll be huge. But it's too early."
While Alicia knows a thing or two about affiliate marketing, she has a strong background in mobile, working in the industry designing mobile applications for location-based services as far back as 1999.
"I originally left the mobile industry in frustration – there were so many great ideas, but the handsets, networks and security just weren't there to meet what was available from other devices. It's taken 10 years for things like location-based services to get to the level we wanted them to be back then. Mobile commerce has been the same."
She says she knows everyone's already thinking about it; but more of the big players – the merchants and networks need to be prepared to support it, and affiliates need to be ready, before it will be 'do-able'.
"In 2012, it'll all come together. Security, handsets, networks and applications – when these parts reach the same point at the same time, and then it'll happen."

1 Comment to Affiliate marketing in mobile? Not just yet…
July 15, 2011
Hi Hannah,
Interesting article and good to hear Alicia's thoughts on the growth of mobile too.
The stats in my article were based on the percentage share of mobile sales for each of the devices rather than actual sales volumes. While the share of sales through the iPhone has seen a decline, the actual sales volumes coming through the device have increased each month (except June – we had a very strong May so total sales through the network were lower in June). This indicates that sales through other devices are increasing at a greater rate rather than sales through the iPhone dropping off. This is also true of the traffic stats.
For me, the continued growth of m-commerce lies in education. Both in terms of educating consumers on the security of purchasing through a mobile, and educating advertisers on the value of having a site that is optimised for mobile. While a standard site can appear correctly on a tablet device such as the iPad, on a phone it can be tricky to use and difficult to convert a customer. With a fully optimised mobile site the user experience will be vastly improved and we have seen increased conversion rates through mobile (phones) where a dedicated mobile site is in place. We have seen up to 7% of total sales coming through a mobile device for an advertiser that has a fully optimised mobile site.
From an affiliate perspective, it is essential that advertisers include affiliate tracking on their mobile site. If this is not in place, they can miss out on exposure across affiliate's mobile sites and apps as any sales will not track. Again the challenge that we face as a network lies in the education.
I am going to be keeping a keen eye on the development of mobile over the coming months so will provide an update to the stats in due course.

Being a good Muslim is not really hard, doing things like keeping up with prayers and all the rules you have to follow. One wikihow article is nowhere near enough to learn all about Islam, but here are a few tips and steps to get you started.
1Learn about the most important parts of Islam, things like the five daily prayers: Fajr, Zuhr/Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Learn about the other five pillars, too. Remember to persevere with these prayers! It always seems a little like too much at first, but when you think about it, you're only putting aside a few minutes every time you pray.Ad
2You can learn a lot from translations of the Qur'an, the most accurate guide to being a Muslim that there is.
3Some of these translations may be harder to understand than others, however Abdullah Yusuf Ali and Pickthall are the two most common.
4Learn about certain things such as how to fast in the holy month of Ramadan. You can even get help from other Muslims who have more experience than you. Fasting is always difficult at first, but after a week you'll be completely used to it.
5Say the declaration of faith: There is only One God, and Muhammad (Peace be Upon him) is His messenger (Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa-Allaah, Wa ash-hadu anna Muhammad ar-Rasoolullaah).
6Learn to live as a Muslim. Remember, a religion is not a part-time thing...it is for all the time. Islam is a way of life. You can look at chapters of the Qur'an and Hadiths of the Prophet to help you with certain things.
7There are books with detailed step-by-step guides on how to complete your five daily prayers. This may also seem like a lot to remember if you are praying for the first time, but you can start by learning about the easier prayers at first, like Fajr.
8There are specific things to do with hygiene and cleanliness, how to act around others, etc. You can look for books on these topics.Ad

- There are lots of small books to advise new Muslims about how to behave, talk, etc. Islam isn't just about reading the Qur'an or whatever, it's the way you live your life.
- The prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said in his last speech, Keep hold unto the Quran and sunnah(what the prophet used to do and say), if you keep tightly hold to this you will not be misguided.
- Remember Allah (God) is always with you.
- Your religion should show through in your behavior. Muslims are not permitted to lie, gossip or badmouth others. A Non-Muslim deserves your respect just as much as a Muslim does.
- Find an Imam or someone who knows about Islam to teach you
- Search online. You can find many Islamic websites that tell you rules of Islam.
- If you really want to learn about Islam, then you should listen to Muslims that you trust because not any one with a huge beard is Muslim and not any one wearing anything else is not.
- Not everything you hear or read about Islam is true,so be careful.
- Don't forget about your family members--how will they react when you tell them you are becoming a Muslim? They might not be too happy about it, but don't let them change your choice to become a Muslim. Be ready to explain, firmly and calmly, why you chose to be a Muslim. Say things like, "It's my choice to what religion I want to follow." Remember, being a Muslim might change a few things in your life that you were used to!
- Remember to read the Qur'an correctly and you should learn it from a teacher.
- Islam is usually negatively portrayed in the media, and the majority of people are not given the main idea of the peaceful nature of this religion. Do not try to force your opinions on others.

Sometime in the near future, the onset of Global Warming is causing the polar ice caps to melt. As the ice melts away from the poles, however, something is revealed that has long since been hidden in the ice. Something... big. An enormous, ancient creature, long before the time of man. Immediately, a team of top scientists and paleontologists descends upon the beast's body, and secretively begin a series of genetic experiments on it.Several years later, the scientists reveal that they have been cloning the creature... And mutating it as well. The creature's clones come in all shapes, sizes, and powers, and with them, the scientists quickly proceed to take over and establish a new One World Order. But the clones soon find their way into the hands of the populace, who begin using them for a fierce Blood Sport that quickly develops into the populace's favorite pastime...Suffice to say, this is not your average Mons game.Dragon Seeds is a 1999 PlayStation game that takes an unusually grim and gritty stance to the Mons genre—presumably to appeal to an older audience. The gameplay follows suit, with failed battles often resulting in Perma Death for the user, and with monsters using a wide array of dangerous-looking weapons to do battle. It also features a very unique mechanic: It can read PlayStation memory cards, and use the data on them to generate monsters both for in-game use and for "memory battles" between players.It's also unique among Mons games at the time in that, while most mons games at the time drew inspiration from Pok�mon, this game takes a more Monster Rancher-esque approach, with Raising Sim elements. The whole thing is topped off with a very distinct soundtrack, which relies heavily on Sampling and remixing. All together, one of the more unique Mons games to come out of the 90's fad.

The romantic interest (also called love interest or merely romantic love interest) is a stock character, an object of purely strong, deep and genuine romantic admiration and attraction for the main character(s), or hero/heroine e/s. It is also the plot element, the romantic subplot, thus introduced.
This person is often a female acquaintance of the protagonist, as in the case of Jane in Tarzan but can be a male, as in the case of Disney's Pocahontas; a man and woman who deeply and truly love and care about each other that are working on opposite sides and are thus supposed to be "enemies." The primary characters and romantic interests may be the two main characters, as in the case of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
This term is often used in movie reviews, less so in classic literature, though such characters are common. Nearly all of the Disney animated features have main characters, villains and romantic interests that even children can easily identify.
"Love interest" is a more distant term than "the hero's dearly beloved" or "sweetheart", often used earlier for such characters. (The replacement of "hero" with "protagonist" or "main character" serves a like purpose").
The term "love interest" is also sometimes used in real life to designate someone's potentially, dearly beloved sweetheart, or the target of genuinely strong and deep romantic infatuation.

Natural Programming
What do you do when funding starts to dry up and registration falls because you begin to charge for your environmental programming? If you're like Bluff Lake Nature Center, located in a low-income area of Denver, you come up with creative solutions while continuously improving the way the program is run.
Bluff Lake Nature Center began operating in 1995, dedicated to reaching kids in kindergarten through fourth grade. This was not a random decision. It was based on research that this group was the most underserved in environmental education.
Like all good parks and recreation programs, Bluff Lake has always paid attention to its constituency, constantly seeking feedback and responding to that feedback.
For the first few years, given that most of the surrounding schools were located in a low-income area, Bluff Lake subsidized busing and the cost of the programming.
"Last year, funding started to go down and we needed a way to increase revenue sources, so we experimented with a fee program. We did a lot of research and found that $3 per child was on the average to low end of the spectrum. We also stopped paying for busing, and found a tremendous drop in our registration," says Sue Schafer, Bluff Lake's education director.
"This year we met that challenge by doing a survey of 500 teachers to find out if we were meeting the needs of their education programs, their students, and if our curriculum met theirs. Our curriculum was designed according to Colorado state standards for science education, but we weren't sure that teachers were really aware of that and how they could use it to meet their curriculum needs."
In fall 2002, Bluff Lake instituted a scholarship program that correlates to how many children are enrolled on each school's free and reduced lunch program. If 70 percent or more of the children are on the program, Bluff Lake will waive the program fees and reimburse the school for busing costs.
Bluff Lake surveyed Denver's cultural district -– including the museum and Ocean Journey –- to find out how these institutions were helping low-income students. Schafer says they had some great ideas that Bluff Lake tailored to its needs and turned into a cut-and-dried policy that created a fairness scale based on the income of the schools.
Special funding has come from the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the three adjacent counties' SCFDs and foundations. These partnerships are invaluable for both funding and creative financial ideas.
Bluff Lake has also expanded its availability beyond the Denver and Aurora public schools. Add these factors together and funding, though a constant concern, is less of a concern.
"We're still meeting the needs of the students, but we were also able to bring in additional resources to keep it self-sustaining," says Schafer. "Funders want to start seeing you be able to keep yourself afloat. We finally developed a balance and our program is almost filled up for the year."
Sustaining Programming
Perhaps the most important factor was being relevant to what was going on in the classrooms, particularly since Colorado had instituted standardized testing that tied results to school funding, called CSAP (Colorado Student Assessment Program).
For its first six years, Bluff Lake's curriculum was tied to on-site programming only. To ensure relevance and stay in line with what teachers needed, in 2002, Bluff Lake instituted a new three-pronged attack –- in-class, field trip and follow-up.
Teachers receive a curriculum packet with pre-trip and post-trip activities, then Bluff Lake Nature Center staff goes to the school and gives a one-hour orientation and introduction.
The class then follows up with the meat of the program, the field trip to Bluff Lake and the two-hour program run by staff and volunteer naturalists.
When students go back to school, teachers conduct follow-up activities. Now having what is a complete science program under their belt, it's Bluff Lake's hope that the classes will return the following year to participate in more advanced activities.
"We designed fun and informative classroom presentations, but they're changing daily, because our staff evaluates and the teachers make comments. Then we adjust the programs accordingly," says Steve Norris, Bluff Lake's executive director. "It's normal, adaptive learning and practice."

Several years ago I taught students who attended a Wildlife Art Class, which was held in an appropriate setting at the Methodist Church camp located on the upper reaches of the Boulder River south of Big Timber, Montana. These classes were held once and sometimes twice a year, usually the end of May and again in August. At the school it was my privilege to meet many aspiring wildlife artists, both young and old, as well as the instructors. Some of the latter were very famous in the wildlife art field.
I made good friends there over the course of years of teaching. Among them was a very interesting individual named Jim Clark. Jim was a semi-retired Forest Consultant from Hinton, Alberta, Canada. While at the school we would get together, every evening, with one or two other friends and just have a good time visiting and telling stories.
I found out that Jim had participated in the last big horse logging operation in Canada which was conducted for the purpose of producing pulp wood. He was instrumental in the day-to-day running of the operation. I would listen to him talk and admired his ability to recount the facts and figures associated with it.
Jim rarely missed a class and I asked him upon several occasions to write a story about the operation. Several years ago he finally wrote me a letter, in which he discussed the logging operation, the last big one in Canada.
My good friend Jim is gone now. I cannot call him on the phone and just visit and laugh at his stories and listen to his sage advice which was often very accurate and fitting for the day. Sometime ago I chanced upon his letter and I thought it would be very informative to publish it in The Draft Horse Journal, especially in the Work Horse issue. This letter will give you an insight into a business in which the draft horse was a major partner as well as a look at a vanished way of life.
I've promised in the past to write you a small story about our horse logging here at Hinton when we began logging operations in 1956 and ended the horse use in 1968. Here goes ...
Our pulp mill was designed to produce 285,700 tons per year of BLEACHED KRAFT PULP. It was the first kraft mill to produce pulp from lodgepole pine and white spruce in the world with a continuous production system with a Kaymr digester.
The wood furnished to this mill was harvested from a FOREST MANAGEMENT AREA (FMA) of 3,000 square miles granted by the Alberta government to the Company (NORTHWESTERN PULP & POWER Ltd.) which was a partnership of St. Regis Corporation of New York and North Canadian Oils of Calgary, Alberta. The Company was responsible for all infrastructure development of the FMA including roads, logging and delivery of wood as well as regeneration of the cutover (logged) areas with a new forest. In the first 25 years of logging, the Company had cut 225,000 acres of land and had regenerated 225,000 acres of new forest. (There is an allowance of seven years between year of cut and year that the new forest has grown to 6-7 feet in height.
We started logging in 1956 to begin building an inventory of wood for mill startup in February 1957. We began building camps for the logging crews in 1956 with Camp No. 1 located on the extreme west end of our FMA and developed 10 camps by about 1960. These ten camps accommodated 500 men, plus or minus. Each camp was operated by a contractor who produced about 25,000 cords per year. (A cord of wood was a ricked cord of dimension 8 feet x 8 feet x 4 feet–containing 85 cubic feet of wood inside bark). The government allowed a 2-inch trim allowance on the 8-foot long wood in a rick to account for wood loss when the wood was debarked in drum barkers that rotated and tumbled the wood; a minor point but of advantage by about 5% when the government stumpage was paid by the Company.
The logging year started generally in late September and ended in March; it's what was called winter logging when we took advantage of the cold weather to build roads cheaply with frost penetration. Wood trucking started about January 1 on a 24-hour day basis, except Sunday.
Horse logging required that wood be skidded from the stump area where the tree was cut 300 feet maximum to the road piledown area; this was the average distance you could expect a horse to skid wood on an 8-hour daily work basis. It meant the horses walked 300 feet from the road piledown area to the tree-cutting face where the logger hooked up the singletree chain to the tree to be skidded to the piledown area. Sometimes the two-man logging team would work with one man handling the horse including the tree hookup, the skidding, unhook and horse control back to the cutting face. The delivered trees at the piledown area were section-cut into 8-foot lengths and hand-piled by the two men into cord ricks or continuous piles; these continuous piles would continue for 100 feet, 500 feet and sometimes half a mile, where the forest density was heavy. Sometimes one team member would be absent so the operation for the day was a one-man, one-horse show.
Daily work started about 6 a.m. wake-up with the gut hammer ring, breakfast and lunch-bucket makeup by each man at 7 a.m. The barn boss, in the meantime, would have the horses harnessed and waiting for the two-man team; some men insisted they harness THEIR HORSE, MAY OR JOE OR KNOTHEAD as they knew what was best.
The horses were stabled in a barn overnight at the campsite. Sometimes the barns were distant from the camp because of circumstances of maybe a short-duration need in a small cutting area. Often the barn boss would spend his nights at these isolated stable areas for short periods. The horses were important to the loggers and to the barn boss who mothered them as if he owned them all; tended their heaves and sneezes, lathered their cuts, sore feet or shoe replacements and hoof trimming.
There were on average 500 horses among the ten camps. We bought them from reliable suppliers throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, all draft horses, and we paid $500 to $700 per horse. Deliveries were made on telephone advisement by the seller to which camp he would deliver X number of horses on what date. We, as buyers, were always suspect of deliveries made at night; the next morning they were carefully scrutinized for quality; accept or reject. It was a game that sometimes got dicey. Horses that eventually needed pensioned were sold at a low price per pound to horse meat buyers who produced pet foods. The odd contractor would sell the cripples to some small logging jobber who produced wood from his private land; in a few days the jobber would be at my office complaining about his expensive dead horse. I'd arrange repayment and advise the sneaky contractor of his debit for the horse, to his account. FUN.
The barns we used were twofold; some were wood construction, portable barns of good quality that we moved to needed places. The material list for the barns was as follows:
• 12 pieces 6" x 6" x 8' timber, rough
• 1000 fbm — 2" x 10"
• 1000 fbm — 3" x 10" (for stall flooring)
• 600 fbm — 1" random width, rough
• 1000 fbm — 2" x 4" x 16', rough
• 45 sheets rough exterior 4' x 8' x 3/8" plywood
• 6 rolls 55 lb weight black roofing paper
These barns cost about $5,000 for material and labour in 1960. We also made barns from dryer felt which was a discard item from the pulp machine in the pulp mill. A timber framework was made in the bush (near water) and the dryer felt was draped over the framework for roofs and walls. When a move was made, the dryer felt was pulled and rolled for transport by truck. Cost for these barns was low as only labour was involved: say about $1,000.
Arlo, here's some item costs from 1960 which I've kept; they're all relative–to 1998???
• 5/16" sheet plywood = $3.17/sheet
• 5/8" sheet plywood = $8.10/sheet
• 2" steel butt hinges = $1.37/pair
• 8 ton hydraulic jack = $33/each
• Fencing staples = $.25/lb
Horse Expenses
Maintenance per horse per day = $1.50
500 horses per day during non-logging period (April-September) = 183 days x $1.50 x 500 horses = $137,259
This item was always a problem because we realistically had inadequate pasturage to accommodate horses.
BLACK HARNESS OIL = $1.40/gallon
#3 H.D. Hames = $6.30/pair (from Quebec)
5/15" x 12' Hercules steel
skid chains 3/8" round slide hook one end = $6.78/each
Harness Set (Kenway Saddle, Calgary) = $50
Single Pinery Harness consisting of
• two 3" traces pinery style c/w hooks & dees
• two 3/4" heavy trace billets
• two 36x0 butt chains
• two 5" plain heavy team pad c/w 1-3/4" billets
• two 1-1/4" heavy hame straps
• 1-1/2" backstrap, 1-1/2" hip strap
• crupper
• tail piece & snap
Collars (Kenway Saddle, Calgary) = $16.90
Singletrees, steel (Herb's Welding, local) = $10.25/each
Horseshoe nail hammer, No. 28 (RJ Welch) = $3.95
16" rasp = $2.25
farrier knife = $1.50
#8 3/8" to 1" copper rivets = $.87/box
No. 12 H.D. Hames = $7/pair
Hoof nipper, No. 311, 14" = $3.05
The cost of operating our camps' kitchens in 1961/1962 may be of some interest to you from a horse logging operation. THE FIGURES ARE FOR A TOTAL COST PER MAN-DAY/WORKER BASIS. Three camps are portrayed as follows:
|Camp 33
|Camp 29
|Camp 23
|Kitchen/Bullcook Labour
|Unemployment Insurance coverage
|Total per Man-day
These costs, Arlo, are all-inclusive of operating a labour camp to feed and house and heat 50 men on average, plus the kitchen and maintenance staff (bullcook, cook, flunkey, barnboss, campclerk) to produce say 25,000 cords of wood or 2,125,000 cubic feet or 21,250 cunits of wood. The total cost of operating camps for 500 men for 183 logging days amounted to $2,551,935 for ten camps. CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP! At the time of 1960, our wood was costing $18.50 per cord delivered to our wood yard.
Best regards to you & Mary,

How to Use Obamacare to Scam Taxpayers
Looking for a little extra cash? If you're interested in defrauding taxpayers, it might be as easy as writing down a number on a form.
The number is your income. The form is the Obamacare application.
If you do not have "affordable" employer-sponsored health insurance and your income is between about $31,800 and $94,200 for a family of four (that is, between 138 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level), you qualify for an insurance subsidy through Obamacare.

So why bother? To be romantic, for one thing. Poems are considered romantic, since so many of them are about love. Theres nothing that softens up a girl more than a poem, unless its a diamond ring. Lucky for would-be poet-suitors, women are much less fussy about a love poem than they are about an engagement ring, so many men think the poem is definitely worth a try.
Women, for some reason, are more likely to write a poem after a love affair has gone bad. Theres something about writing out how theyve been wronged that is cathartic. Many country western songs start out as poems about some jerk who stole her heart.
But courting days for most people are limited to our relative youth. What about our more mature years, why should we bother writing poems then, when love affairs are a thing of the past, and most people have made their beds and are lying in them (or maybe even in separate beds)?
Poems are a good way to comment on our lives, short snapshots of how we are feeling as we travel the road weve chosen, of what life has taught us. Plus, writing poetry is a great way to improve ones vocabulary.
To write a good poem, you have to either be a good poet, or own a thesaurus (no, that is not a type of dinosaur). A thesaurus is a book full of words, followed by their synonyms and antonyms. So if youve used the word love way too many times in the poem youre writing to that gorgeous blonde who sits in front of you in Chemistry class, you grab your thesaurus and find love, or the word love. And there you find such wonderful substitutions as passion, ardor, amour, and adoration. There are also a few youd be wise to ignore, such as esteem, and brotherhood. And for the blonde in Chemistry class whos just been dumped by some guy, there are the opposites of love hate, repugnance, revulsion, and the ever-popular loathe.
As a side note, I once picked up a copy of Rogets Thesaurus at a yard sale and bought it because it had Dorothy Leichts name engraved on the cover. Miss Leicht was a newspaper editor at Leicht Press in Winona many years ago, and I thought it would be neat to own her thesaurus. But it was published in 1937, and the words, rather than being organized in alphabetical order like my college thesaurus, were organized by classes of words abstract relations, space, matter, intellect, volition and affections. You had to look under the affections section to find love, where synonyms included affaire de coeur, gallantry, and rapture.
So go ahead, write a poem or two this month a love poem, like Elizabeth Barrett Brownings How do I love thee? or a life experience poem like Robert Frosts Birches. You could even try a funny poem, like Shel Silversteins Messy Room, or kids poems like Dr. Seuss.
But in a search for the perfect word for a poem, one must be careful to not choose such an arcane word that your reader wont understand it such as ruthful, the opposite of ruthless, and meaning full of ruth, or full of tenderness. My advice is dont use it, even if it does rhyme with truthful.
I wonder if you could help me with a poem about my last meal at the Chinese restaurant. Should I say that getting an empty fortune cookie was unfortunate, or a misfortune?

Launching Our Bilingual Facebook Page to Continue Efforts to Connect with Hispanic Americans
Katherine Vargas
Today, the White House launched a new bilingual Facebook page to highlight the Administration's efforts to ensure that the ladder of opportunity remains strong for Latinos and all Americans.
In the lead up to the State of the Union Address, the White House is continuing its commitment to connecting with the American public through social media interaction with senior Administration officials on important topics that are critical to our economic prosperity. We encourage the public to participate in the discussion by using the hashtag #SOTU.
You can also follow along on the White House blog when White House officials take over the White House Instagram account to give you a behind-the-scenes view of preparations for the State of the Union. Tune in on Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. ET to hear more about the President's vision for 2014, and you can watch the speech with live Spanish captioning here.
President Obama and his Administration are breaking new ground on connecting with the Latino community every day by creating meaningful engagement through many platforms:
- The official Spanish-language website at whitehouse.gov/espanol and Hispanic sections at whitehouse.gov/Hispanic and immigration section at whitehouse.gov/immigration
- Bilingual Twitter account @LaCasaBlanca and bilingual updates from Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Muñoz@Cecilia44 and Director of Hispanic Media Katherine Vargas@Vargas44
- Bi-weekly Latino newsletter by the White House Office of Public Engagement on key events and policies of importance for the Latino community. To subscribe to the Latino newsletter, you can sign up here.
- Weekly Spanish-language video message called "Mensaje de la Casa Blanca" (White House Video Message) echoing the themes from the President's Weekly Address featuring senior level Administration officials.
Our great nation was built on and continues to thrive on its diversity and opportunity. Latinos will account for 60 percent of our population growth in the coming decades, and in turn will be an increasingly larger share of the workforce. There is no doubt that the future of the United States is inextricably linked to the future of the Hispanic community. That's something President Obama understands, and why he has made it a priority that his Administration is not only reflected in America's great diversity, but that we're being open and responsive to the needs of all Americans.
Thank you for your interest and participation.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on January 31, 2012
Please Contact Your State Senators and Representatives TODAY and Respectfully Urge Them to Support!
Today, state Representative David Gowan (R-30) introduced House Bill 2728, NRA-backed pro-hunting legislation. Enactment of this bill would allow hunters in Arizona to use lawfully-possessed suppressors (also referred to as silencers) on firearms for hunting.
In order to acquire a suppressor, a purchaser must submit the appropriate paperwork to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives where long wait times for approval are unfortunately common (four to six months), undergo a background check by the FBI, find a licensed dealer authorized to conduct the transaction and pay a one-time $200 tax for each device. While suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report in a manner similar to the way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a vehicle. The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution. Noise complaints are being used more frequently as an excuse to close shooting ranges, informal shooting areas, and hunting lands throughout the country. Increased use of suppressors will help to eliminate many of these complaints and protect hunting and shooting areas well into the future. For more information on firearms and suppressors, click here.Currently, more than half of the states allow hunters to use suppressors while hunting. It's time that hunters in Arizona enjoy the same opportunities available to residents in more than half of the country. Your NRA will continue working to legalize suppressors while hunting, and will keep you updated on HB 2728.It is important that you call AND e-mail your state Senator and Representatives TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB 2728. Contact information for your state Senator and Representatives can be found here.

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) released this statement following the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut:
My heart aches for the shooting victims and their families. I spent the weekend praying for the victims of this senseless tragedy. This tragedy will certainly force us as a country to have a discussion about our gun laws, as well as our mental health system. Like always, I will carefully consider any proposed legislation and listen to the voices of South Dakotans.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Metaurus
From Wikisource
|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 18
|Metaxas, Andreas→
|See also Metauro on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
METAURUS (mod. Metauro; the form Mataurus is later, and is more frequent in inscriptions of the imperial period), a river of Italy, which flows into the sea a little south-east of Panum Fortunae (mod. Fano). On its banks Hasdrubal, while marching to the aid of Hannibal in 207 B.C., was defeated and slain by the Roman army, this being the decisive battle of the Second Punic War. The exact site of the battle is uncertain; tradition places it between Fossombrone and the Furlo Pass, but it is probable that it occurred nearer the sea-coast.

One of the latest news buzzing in the tech world is the fact that Google has clearly announced that it wants the WebM and not the H.264 for its HTML5 video chats on Google Chrome from now on. Considering that Apple did the very same thing a while back – that is replace the Flash with its own version of open video, it is strange that Google is being criticized for the same action – but it shouldn't be surprising. After all, what Apple does, Google will follow and what Google does, Apple will follow. Not only are the two competitors, they are contemporaries as well.
Which is why, arises the very question as to why Google made this move. It may simply be answered by saying that Google wanted to keep up with Apple, but for Google, it means integrating all their platforms such as YouTube, Chat etc from the H.264 to the WebM codec, and apart from the efforts, this is an expensive deal to begin with. In the long term, it makes sense of course and Google wants to take the WebM seriously. Google also wants to integrate it into all their products, including the Android as time goes on, and especially for web content, where video is all important, revenue will come in the form of video ads which will be a huge profit making advantage for Google. For a huge company like Google, this makes more sense. That is, develop their own software and codec and install it in their machines early in the day.
Critics of Google's decision say that dropping an open source resource like the H.264 is a bad move and that it will discourage the use of Google products altogether. But in the world of technology where companies are fast evolving to create their own individual ecosystems which are completely independent, this move seems to be right up the alley for Google's long term plans – and it is clear that any move Google is making now is towards the development of its long term projects. This means that Google is really implying that every other service like Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer and Skype are expected to shift bases too – at best, a strategic move, at worst a power tactic to manipulate the direction of audio and video conferencing.
But while all this still stands, there is something yet to say about H.264, it is the most preferred resource for mobile phones and it is unlikely that Google is going to disrupt that anytime soon, especially in Androids if it does not want to bear the wrath of its customers.
