UW-Eau Claire to re-dedicate Kent State Memorial
Four dead in Ohio. May 4, 2003, marks the 33rd anniversary of the 1970 shootings that left four anti-Vietnam war protestors dead and nine wounded at Kent State University in Ohio.
Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, William Schroeder and Sandy Scheuer were killed by National Guard troops called to campus to quell anti-war protests that had resulted in the burning of the university's Army R.O.T.C. building the day before. Read the story.
The shootings sent shockwaves through college campuses across the country including UW-Eau Claire, then known as Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire. On May 8, 1970, four crabapple trees were planted next to Davies Center as a memorial to the young people killed at Kent State.
One of the four trees died and was removed. On Monday, May 5, at 11 a.m. the university will plant a new tree to rededicate the Kent State Memorial and also reflect on the current war with Iraq.
Marty Wood, English department chair, suggested the rededication. Chancellor Donald Mash will preside.
All faculty, staff and students are invited to attend.
Bill Cosby tickets go on
sale May 5 at UW-Eau Claire

Gallery tickets for Cosby's shows cost $29.50 for UW-Eau Claire students and $30.50 for the general public; bleacher seats cost $33.50 for UW-Eau Claire students and $34.50 for the general public; and reserved seats cost $37.50 for UW-Eau Claire students and $38.50 for the general public.

Research Day encourages dissemination of research results from all disciplines in the UW-Eau Claire academic community. All students and faculty as well as community members are invited to view the displays. Full story and related story on UW System undergraduate research symposium.

After intermission, the Afro-Cuban salsa band Orquesta Alto Maiz will take the stage. The variety of musical styles, use of the Spanish language, and foods of Latin and South American and the Caribbean will blend to create a celebration that culturally transcends the ordinary Cinco de Mayo event. Full story and ticket information.

Nike Unleashes a Horse on a Golf Course
The Nike 20XI: It's a horse of a golf ball. Contrary to what this latest spot from W+K may look like, the ball is not actually black. So, if you're a golfer (I'm not) and wondering what makes this ball so special, read the Golf.com review here and make up your own mind as to whether or not it's blowing open the doors on golfing technology. As every golf accessory has claimed to do this since the game was invented, I'm guessing it's not going to make much of a difference.
Now to this ad. Directed by Ellen Kuras, it definitely looks really cool. But, with Nike Golf's biggest superstar still not quite back to form (despite an impressive showing at the Masters), instead of seeing a Tiger, we're seeing a horse…a horse that runs around and destroys a golf course. That's really all there is to it. The horse and the 20XI are one in the same, you see. They will destroy everything in their path. And, as we see in a spot called "Aftermath," this doomsday device rolls just wide of the hole, leaving divots in its wake. Credits and "Aftermath" after the jump.

Stocks are opening mostly lower, breaking a four-day winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average, following a leap in claims for unemployment benefits and a mixed batch of corporate earnings reports.
The Dow was down 18 points at 13,539 shortly after the opening bell Thursday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was off four at 1,457 and the Nasdaq composite was down eight at 3,095.
The Labor Department reported that applications for unemployment benefits jumped last week to the highest level in four months. That suggests layoffs are picking up again.
BB&T bank, Philip Morris and Boston Scientific all fell after reporting earnings that came in below analysts' forecasts.

I seem to be in a bit of a nostalgic mood recently, I'm not sure why but whatever the reason it means all I want to do is make things from my childhood so todays recipe is for chocolate dipped flapjack. It was always the thing I chose when we went to the local bakery when I was little, something about golden syrup coated oats covered in chocolate always dragged me in. Thankfully the recipe is super simple and can be made in no time at all perfect for when you need something ready fast.
Chocolate Dipped Flapjack
350g porridge oats
140g butter
225g light brown muscavado sugar
100g golden syrup
100g melted chocolate for dipping
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan, and line a 9″x13″ pan with foil or baking parchment.
Place the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan set over medium heat and cook until the butter and sugar have melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from the heat and tip in the oats. Stir until the oats are coated evenly in the sugar mixture. Tip the oats into the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are starting to turn golden.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting the parchment and the flapjack out and cutting into squares. Place the melted chocolate in a small bowl and dip each flapjack coating half of each piece in chocolate. Set on a parchment lined baking tray and refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
My first cookbook The Boy Who Bakes is available to pre-order here now

Ms. Alison Segura Donat
Goal: $1,000.00
Hello Family and Friends!
In 2011 I was able to train for and complete the Honolulu Marathon, and along the way with your support raise nearly $4,000 to benefit Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA)!
I'm back and now training for the Camp Pendleton World Famous Mud Run!
On June 1st, 2014 I'll be running, crawling and jumping (in gooey mud) through Camp Pendleton's obstacles (yikes) to help in the fight against AIDS!
This time around I've made it a personal mission to raise at least $1000 for APLA, and I hope to once again count on your support!
Nearly 1.2 million Americans are now living with HIV and 56,000 more will be infected this year. For almost 30 years, APLA has provided food, home health care, and other services to thousands of people whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS. Many of them are living in poverty and have nowhere to turn.
That's why I'm asking you to help. Please join me in doing what we can to bring an end to HIV/AIDS! You can donate as little as $5 or as much as you like :) Any amount helps!
Please donate today by clicking on the button to the right of the screen that says, "Donate" Help me exceed my goal of raising $1000 and make a difference in the life of an APLA client today. Donations are put to use immediately — so please, donate today!
Thank you so much for caring, and thank you for your support!
If you are unable to donate online, please click here to download a donation form.

In my 3.5e campaign we started using the wealth score instead of Gold and the wound system instead of Hit points. It is an easy conversion on the fly for everything so far.
Now we are just going to convert the characters over totally to true20. The fighter and thief were easy to convert, but am at a loss with how to port the magic over.
I was thinking about making an Arcane Magic Feat for each class (expert bardic progression, adept wizard progression, warrior paladin progression), but then was unsure how do do 'level' advancement for spell use. What if they took the feat at a level higher than first?
Then I was thinking about making the progression through spell levels based on feats, 1 level of prgression per feat. So to cast third level spells, you would have to have the first level feat and then the second level feat.
I guess you can tell by my ramblings I am at a loss on how to proceed.

In response to mia76's comment:
This was about what I expected for him. At age 27 he is developing as a receiver. He was playing for a disfunctional offense his first three years which happily was shipped to the Jets last year (smile!)
And yes - his production was about the same as Lloyd playing with a rookie. People forget that Lloyd's free agent deal last year was seen as a huge bargain for the Pats. 70+rec/1000yds receivers get paid - look at rosters around the league and those guys are getting 6-7M.
In comparison with Welker he has three advantages: Age, Speed, and the perception as an outside guy vs. slot. Welker has the advantage on production and track record.
I don't like when someone says they had a rookie throwing to him or they had a bad QB throwing to him Because in 2008 Randy Moss had 69 receptions for 1000+ yards while Welker had 111 receptions for 1165 yards from an inexperienced QB named Matt Cassell.

MWF (11:00 - 11:50 am)
Biology of Microorganisms (Brock) by Michael T. Madigan & John M. Martinko. 13th Edition. Pearson Prentice Hall, 2012.
Laboratory Manual for BIOL 3044 (Symbiosis).
Each student is required to complete all exams and laboratory assignments.
Each student is required to complete a term paper (worth 100 points).
Each student is required to complete 4 reading assignments (worth 25 points each).
There will be 3 midterm exams worth 80 points.
There will be a comprehensive exam worth 160 points.
As stated below, the laboratory portion of the course is worth 400 points (40%).
All exams and assignments count toward your final grade in the course and so it is important to do the best that you can on everything you turn in. If you find yourself having difficulties, please come to me for help early in the semester so that you give yourself time to improve.
Attendance is not a direct component of your course score. However, continual tardiness – and the subsequent class disruption due to coming in late – will be taken into account and may have an effect on your final points awarded.
This course is not graded on a traditional curve, but it is scaled to where the students are. This allows for any adjustments that the instructor deems necessary. The course is worth approximately 1000 points. Grade categories and equivalent percentages are as indicated: A (90-100%); B (80-89.9%); C (70-79.9%); D (60-69.9%); F (59.9% and below). Passing requires 60% of the points (unadjusted) for the course, or 600. Fractional percentages will be rounded at the end.
Lab constitutes approximately 40% of the BIOL 3044 grade. Lecture constitutes approximately 60% of the BIOL 3044 grade. There are three midterm exams, each worth 80 points. Each exam will be based on what was covered since the previous exam. There is a comprehensive final exam worth 160 points. In particular, any material that requires review following an exam (i.e. the vast majority of the class got it wrong) will show up on the final exam.
Throughout the semester we will be reading three primary research articles. Along with these readings, several questions will be assigned. The answered questions will be due the day we discuss the papers. The final reading-type assignment will be a printout and result list of a search related to your term paper. Each reading assignment will be worth 25 points.
The last assignment is a term paper worth 100 points. Details regarding the term paper topic are given below. More detailed information on the paper and a rubric of scoring guidelines will be provided separately.
1) No regrades will be provided for exams done in pencil.
2) Misspelled words (esp. organism names) and incorrect taxonomic nomenclature will result in ¼ point deductions for each instance.
The term paper must be formatted according to the guidelines provided in the Journal of Bacteriology (ASM).
Late papers will lose 10% each 24 hour period past the assigned deadline.
Students are expected to attend all meetings of the classes in which they are enrolled.
Although in general students are graded on intellectual effort and performance rather than
attendance, absences may lower the student's grade where class attendance and class
participation are deemed essential by the faculty member. In those classes where attendance is
considered as part of the grade, the instructor should so inform students of the specifics in
writing at the beginning of the semester in a syllabus or separate attendance policy statement.
An instructor who has an attendance policy must keep records on a daily basis. The instructor
must give the student a verbal or written warning prior to being dropped from the class.
Instructor's records will stand as evidence of absences. A student with excessive absences may
be dropped from a course by the instructor. Any individual faculty member or college has the
authority to establish an attendance policy, providing the policy is in accordance with the General University Policies. [MSU Student Handbook, p. 43]
Absences will be excused for:
Classroom expectations and policies:
E-mail Policy:
I will respond to e-mail during regular school hours (8:30 am – 5:00 pm M-F). I will make every effort to respond to e-mail sent during the week within 24 hours. Those sent over the weekend will be attended to on Monday.
Always include a subject line in your e-mail messages. It would be particularly helpful to include in the subject line the course number & section (i.e. BIOL 2144-301).

Cowon Earphone Eh2
Sound fantastic woofer and tweeter, the finest hybrid earphone
Cowon EM1 In-Earphone
"These in ears are as cheap as it gets and you get what you pay for. Though when compared to similarly priced in ears a few things stand out. Build quality and looks are good. It comes with flat, relatively tangle free cord. Also its fairly resistant to micro phonics. It comes with 3 rubber tips, and I could not get perfect seal with any of them. I could hear faint noises. So its decent..." --vaibhavp
Dunu DC4
DUNU is a fairly new company and was started as a brand of the Top Sound OEM making IEMs that utilize very high quality housings that have a similar look and feel, but better build quality to the Monster IEMs. I have had a chance to hear some DUNU products briefly, but as I now stick to custom IEMs and higher priced universals I didn't perform a full evaluation. I was a little surprised...

"Hybrid 3 ways: 2x Balance Armature + 1x 10mm Dynamic driver http://www.dunu-topsound.com/DN-1000.html I was a bit disappointed with DN-1000 when I tried it out of the box. The treble was a bit metallic with the stock silicone eartips.

DUNU DN-12 Trident
"First of all I have to mention overall packaging and design. They're looking extremely rich. Earphones themselves also looks great and unusual. As for sound quality - I'd say that it's OK for the money asked for them. Sound is clear, with nice mids and height. Sometimes bass lacked punch, but it depends on recoding mastering. So money/value - it's a good choice. " --cleg
DUNU DN-13 Crius
" First off, I'd like to thank the folks at DUNU-TopSound for providing me with samples to review Up for review today are a pair of balanced armature based IEMs. Priced solidly within the bracket I would consider "mid-range", these have a great deal of competition right out of the gate and one has to wonder whether or not DUNU's newcomers can stand up to that competition...." --TheGame21x

I currently play with the AP2 irons which have a regular NS Pro 105T shaft fitted.Having been a single figure handicapper for over 50 years I'm now finding it more difficult to hit the ball with some authority. I feel the time is coming for me to consider moving into graphite shafts but can the heads of AP2's originally shafted with steel shafts be reshafted with graphite ones or is there a swingweight problem etc....which would be a good graphite shaft to consider..Would appreciate your comments..Regards Bruce

DeMint's departure leaves void in Senate
|FILE - In this June 17, 2011 file photo, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. speaks in New Orleans. DeMint announced Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012 that he is resigning to take over at Heritage Foundation. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
WASHINGTON — Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who in just a few years became a hero to conservative activists nationwide for his vehement anti-government voice and willingness to confront even fellow Republicans, surprised colleagues Thursday by saying he will quit the Senate to run an influential inside-the-Beltway think tank.
DeMint will leave Congress in the next month. This spring, he will take over the Heritage Foundation, a prominent advocacy group with which he has worked closely during his rapid rise from a virtually unknown lawmaker to a conservative kingmaker who bankrolled Senate candidates willing to defy party leaders in order to slash federal spending.

Who would have known that when Kia brought their first car over to the States, they would one day have a goal to go premium? Who would have known that the Kia GT would flow from the Sephia? Who would have known that a 400hp Kia Kue concept would come from the Sephia? Who would have known that when the 2004 Kia Amanti arrived, 8 years later the K9 would take it's place being a true German car rival? Who would have known that when the 1997 Kia Enterprise would evolve into the Kia K5 and being the best looking car in its class? Who would have known that the 1994 Sephia would one day be the first C segment car in class to get features such as front and heated seats, heated steering wheel and one day get a GT engine? Who would have known that?
Kia Motors Aims To Be Premium Brand By 2017
Kia has some big plans for the next five years, with the goal of becoming a global premium brand at the top of the list by 2017.
Kia's Vice-Chairman Lee Hyoung-keun revealed the company's plans at a recent gathering of the biggest and best of Kia's global dealers and distributors.
Kia Motors Corporation have been in the process of developing vehicles that are even more sophisticated than the last. That natural progression leads Mr Lee to believe that Kia will be a premium brand on a par with their Japanese and German competitors within the next five years.
A big part of this process has come by Kia being able to sustain an extended period of continuous sales growth. They have also engaged in global sports marketing by lending their name to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. It's this and more that makes Kia believe they will be a "first-class brand" by 2017.
Mr Lee revealed that Kia Motors had already set a target of exporting 2.21 million units to overseas markets during 2012. That number would be an 8.3% increase over the 2.04 million units that were shipped out of Korea in 2011.
Kia is looking to build this premium profile on the backs of their stylish models like the Optima mid-size sedan, the newly re-designed 2014 Sorento SUV, and its new premium flagship model, the Quoris. The latter of the three is slowly making its way into a number of different global markets.
Slower growth, higher quality
Kia Motors' rise to prominence in the last decade has been an incredibly quick ascent.
They are now looking to take a slower paced approach to future growth, with their focus being to improve the quality and technology of their products. It's that they feel that will improve their brand perception.
Todd McDonald, General Manager of Kia Motors New Zealand, was present at the recent gathering, and he took a moment to talk about it. He said that he inspired by the unveiling of the program, and that he believe Kia will indeed reach all of their goals within that five year window. [Source: scoop.co.nz]
One of the steps toward a "premium" future incudes a release of 51 new models in the coming years. Check out the article: 51 future Kia cars and SUVs.

Who would have known that jtz would still continue to post these dumb ass "who would have known" questions? Who would have known that?
Easy there kia. Establish your brand first. Kia has a nice name but not luxury type association. creating a new brand would be wiser, but competition is fierce and shameless. Be patient and wait for your oppirtunoty.
So what will Hyundai and Kia plan at the NAIAS? Kia sure could use a concept to be uneviled there. Also, Acura has the facelifted MDX to unveil. Honda wants to butt in on the Soul's marketshare called Sub CR-V. Will bring it on Huh-da the Track'ster I mean the next Soul would be ready to battle. Lexus will show off the next generation IS which I will assume it will be the same design with Kia/Audi's grille mixed and turned sidways like the rest of Lexus' line up. The Equus will be ready to whip some Lexus butt. The K9 will too. Also the new Azera will be ready to tackle some Avalon a**.
Hyundai's plan is to be consistent and drama free. No ridiculous mileage claims or steering issues. Confident naming strategies and sharp looking cars will be critical for them.
It is pretty evident that the japanese are not playing with any sense of common decency at this juncture. They will copy Peter Schreyer like no tomorrow until all of their models look like an optima soul rio and forte.
Hyundai needa to spend more rd for future technologies and cist reducing techniques plus more vertical integration. From headlight manufacturing to engines. That is the samsung way. With the right bounces and some misteps among the competition hyundai should continue to gain marketshare. That is a big if at this present moment
I hear the K9 is not selling very well over in S. Korea. My guess, it's the design. I think Kia should have killed the K9 before it got redesigned and just waited for the Kia GT to be that flagship car. The Kia GT could have either been caught "GT" or "K9." Not the BMW, Buick, INFINTI g, or Genesis pathetic design. The K9 is a slap in the face for Kia. Kia was on the roll shutting up that sterotype about copying others after seeing the Soul, Rio, Optima, Sportage and then a non-orginal non-grounbreaking RWD Kia comes out. Didn't they learn from the Genesis? Wasn't that the point of why the Genesis came out first?
Wait. If the K9 doesn't sell over in Korea then that will cancel out the the Kia GT from getting the greenlight. That sucks all because of that K9 and it's non-orginal design. The real flagship sedan should have been the Kia GT.

- Biography Of Toulouse Lautrec - 377 words
Artist Biography and Painting Critique Henri-Marie-Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa, commonly known as Toulouse Lautrec, was born on November 24th, 1864. He lived out the entirety of his life in France, and died on September 9th, 1901. Born into a family of noble but inbred blood, he had inherently frail bones, and after a series of horrendous accidents, was crippled for life. During his recovery from one such accident, he discovered his love and talent for drawing and painting. He spent a considerable amount of time in Fernand Gormon's studio, and met with Vincent Van Gogh. He also visited many locations Van Gogh has worked at. They were both of the pre-impressionistic era.

- Bethel School District Vs. Fraser - 539 words
On April 26, 1983, Matthew Fraser, a student at Bethel High School in Bethel, Washington, delivered a speech nominating a fellow student for a student elective office to his fellow high school mates. The assembly was part of a school-sponsored educational program in self government. During the entire speech, Fraser referred to his candidate in terms of 'elaborate, graphic, and explicit sexual metaphor.' However, no obscene language was used. Fraser discussed his speech with three of his teachers. Two of the teachers testified at the trial that they informed Matthew the speech was 'inappropriate and that he probably should not deliver it.' They also mentioned that the speech might have 'sever ...

- Brave New World - Is It A Warn - 1,107 words
Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in the 1930s. He made many future predictions and many or most of them have already come true but not to the extent that he writes about. The society in Brave New World is significantly different to the present one, and to the society in Huxley's time. Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World not as a warning, but as something to look forward to.The people in Brave New World are everything we, as a society, want to be. Mustapha Mond sums up the perfections of the society in Brave New World with an explanation he gave John: "The world's perfect now. People are happy; they get what they want and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; ...

- Baseball And Tobacco - 870 words
Maybe steroids aren't the biggest problem?Steroids are a big issue now but even bigger should be chewing tobacco.By: Aaron ColeEnglish With all of the hype on the use of steroids in the past month among the baseball community, I think that baseball should also look at another serious affect to its players, chewing tobacco. Chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco has been affiliated with baseball since the 1840s mainly in the amateur leagues. A custom to the winning team would celebrate by lighting up a cigar after the game. But as more immigrants joined baseball through the 1860s and 1870s they brought their culture of rolling their own cigarettes and or chewing tobacco.As baseball grew in popul ...

- Brave New World - A Defence Of Paradise-engineering - 5,041 words
BRAVE NEW WORLD ?A Defence Of Paradise-EngineeringBrave New World (1932) is one of the most bewitching and insidious works of literature ever written. An exaggeration? Tragically, no. Brave New World has come to serve as the false symbol for any regime of universal happiness. For sure, Huxley was writing a satirical piece of fiction, not scientific prophecy. Hence to treat his masterpiece as ill-conceived futurology rather than a work of great literature might seem to miss the point. Yet the knee-jerk response of 'It's Brave New World!' to any blueprint for chemically-driven happiness has delayed research into paradise-engineering for all sentient life. So how does Huxley turn a future where ...

Conversely, the natural happiness of the handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed Savage on the Reservation is portrayed as more real and authentic, albeit transient and sometimes interspersed with sorrow. The contrast between true and false happiness, however, is itself problematic. Even if the notion is both intelligible and potentially referential, it's not clear that 'natural', selfish-DNA-sculpted minds offer a more authentic consciousness than precision-engineered euphoria. Highly selective and site-specific designer drugs [and, ul ...

Sarfo K. Mensah Jr.Buddhism Paper3/22/00Siddharta Gautama was twenty-nine years of age when he abandoned his family to search for a means to bring to an end his and other's suffering.

After seven weeks he received the Great Enlightenment: the Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Path. Henceforth he became known as the Buddha.

When we give up useless craving and learn to live each day at a time, enjoying without restless wanting the experiences that life offers us, patiently enduring the problems that life involves without fear, hatred and anger, then we become content and free. Then, and only then, do we begin to live fully. Because we are no longer obsessed with satisfying our own selfish wants, we find we have so much time to help others satisfy their needs. This state is called Nirvana. We are free from all psychological suffering as well. This is called Final Nirvana."What or where is Nirvana?" one may ask.

Beowulf has many heroic characteristics from his super human strength to victoriously slaying monsters and other ferocious beasts.

|looked through earlier posts, and didn't quite find this question answered- I have an older, smaller hot tub that I'm about to hook back up. The tag on my unit calls for a 40amp circuit, which I have via 8/3 w/gnd travelling 18 feet to the gfci disconnect. Can I stay with 8# thhn to the tub? (only about an 8' run) Here's the other thing- can I use a 50amp gfci spa panel within this 40 amp circuit (the supply breaker would trip in the event of overload, right?) I ask this after finding the 50 amp boxes to be cheaper and easier to find

|You probably need wet rated conductors if this is an outdoor installation. For any outside parts you need to use an insulated ground and NOT 8-3 cable with a ground bare in the sheath (the code does allow such for inside runs).
If the breaker in the main panel is 40A, then the 50A GFCI serves as a GFCI and an oversized disconnect (which you need anyhow within sight of the maintenance point on the tub).

|Hi Folks,
Usually have problems with field mice in the fall when the weather starts to turn and they try to move into the barn and engine cowlings, etc. for the winter. Put down appropriate "Dcon" or equivalent and take care of problem.
Tuesday I went out to the barn and noticed the kritters running around inside? They're supposed to be outside eating seeds and things now. OK. put down a couple of dcon feeders. Yesterday, went out and started one of the little tractors and saw "little aqua colored pellets" flying down and bouncing on the concrete floor. Yep, they had moved into the cowling AND carried the dcon into the nest.
Maybe the winter we didn't have last year prompted a field mice population explosion or something?
Follow-Up Postings:
|I would invest in couple of female nuttered cats.
|RC, did that, well one, Wife adopted it and brought it inside.....:-) Guess keeping "rodenticide" out will be a year round thing now.
|I use clothes dryer sheets, available at any grocery store, or "five and dime". The critters hate the smell of them and stay away. RJ

|Moth balls.
|Thanks for the responses, Rusty, I don't have much luck with dryer sheets, smell goes away in a week or so and I don't remember to replace them.
"fruit" now that's an idea, moth balls tend to hold their scent a lot longer don't they. And "the boss" just mentioned she was going to pick up some to scatter in the garden to deter rabbits from eating the beans, so it all comes together.
Embarassing, I qualified rifle sharpshooter and pistol expert in the marines and I gotta watch bunnies hopping around the garden eating stuff..... However, "the one who must be obeyed" has said no "bunnycide" ..... :-)
Thanks again,
|Hi Folks,
Follow up to my last post. Just researched moth balls and they do work at repelling rodents, deer (I'd like to see anything that repels deer other than lead poisoning!), even snakes. They tend to get smaller over time, but as long as there's something there, they're effective.
Bad news is, their aroma is attractive (?) to small kids and household pets and if ingested are poisonous. So, no moth balls in the garden for bunnies as the dogs are my pals. However, putting them in something in the engine compartment which the dogs can't get to should work fine.
|I put mothballs in old socks and clothes pinned them to tomato cages and other areas one year. As I recall, the smell went away in about a month.
|@txtom, did the mothball-in-sox seem to keep the critters away? How many sox are needed for 10 or 20 sq ft of garden?
@exmar, how are you keeping said critters out of your tractor?
I'll be trading my zone 11a for zone 7 in a couple of months, so I want to prevent rodents in the wiring, etc if I can.
Thanks for your replies!
|As I recall, I put the mothballs out on my tomato cages to try and confuse the armadillos. Didn't work.

Key Takeaway: Proposed rule would increase providers' administrative burdens.Next Step: Comments on proposed rule due April 16.
By James Swann
A proposed rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that would require the return of Medicare overpayments within 60 days of their identification would dramatically increase administrative burdens for providers, an attorney said during an April 3 Bloomberg BNA webinar.
"If the proposed rule is finalized, it will create intense time pressure for providers and will significantly increase the operational--and potentially financial--burdens of overpayment disclosure," Robert L. Roth, an attorney with Hooper, Lundy & Bookman PC in Washington, said during the webinar.
Potential penalties under the proposed rule include a $10,000 fine for each identified overpayment, as well as the possibility of Medicare exclusions.
"What do providers do when they can't quantify the overpayment amount within 60 days? The proposed rule is silent on this."--Robert L. Roth, Hooper, Lundy & Bookman PC
"The proposed rule includes a 10-year look-back period [the time period for which providers are responsible for any identified overpayments], which CMS chose because it is the outer limit of the federal FCA statute of limitations," Roth said. "The 10-year standard inappropriately links simple payment errors with the FCA liability standard, which is intended for intentional fraud."
CMS published the proposed 60-day overpayment rule in the Feb. 16Federal Register, and comments are due April 16 (16 HFRA 135, 2/22/12).
Roth also said the proposed rule is silent on several topics, increasing uncertainty for providers.
"What do providers do when they can't quantify the overpayment amount within 60 days?" he asked. "The proposed rule is silent on this."
The proposed rule also does not address potential retroactive enforcement issues created by the 10-year look-back period, Roth said.
Specifically, Roth said it would not be easy to collect documentation surrounding an old overpayment, as many providers have changed their data management systems over the years.
He said the proposed rule is also silent on whether the 60-day time frame applies to any overpayment identified prior to the enactment of PPACA.
"The language in the proposed rule says that, on average, it takes two-and-a-half hours to resolve an overpayment issue," Roth said. "That seems completely unrealistic to me."
He also said CMS's estimates of implementation costs do not appear to reflect the compliance reality providers would face, and that the proposed rule's cost estimates include only those of accountants and administrative staff, not those of attorneys and billing consultants.
The proposed rule is at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-02-16/pdf/2012-3642.pdf.

Esquire's Best and Worst Dressed Men on the Trail
What clothes shaped the horse race, what happens when the campaign literally gets ugly, and what you can learn as a man in power or just a couple nice suits from it. An authoritative list from The Style Blog, no incumbents allowed.
The Worst
The individual disasters are many: Brad Ellsworth's begelled hair in Indiana, Michael Bennet's occasional Zuckerberg moments in Colorado, and, of course, Joe Miller. But the sins of overgrooming, Joe-the-Plumbering, and just being old are not impeachable offenses. It takes a pattern of powerless behavior, wherein a profile of sloppiness emerges and a string of bad hair days turns into a negative campaign ad... for yourself.

In the second season premiere, after George confesses his feelings to Zoe, she finds herself having to make a tough decision between
George and Wade, leaving the two guys at odds on how to handle the situation. In search of some much-needed girl advice, Zoe finds a
new friend in former BlueBell resident Ruby Jeffries (recurring guest star GOLDEN BROOKS – Girlfriends), who no one is excited to
see. Lemon decides it's time to get her own apartment and a job, but it's tougher than she thought. Meanwhile, continuing to forge
ahead with her new life, Lemon proceeds to return the wedding presents she and George had already received, but a sudden detour to
Zoe's while holding a cake knife creates a stir with the townspeople. Recurring guest star CHARLIE ROBINSON (Night Court) appears as
Sgt. Jeffries.
