First elected to the Connecticut State Senate in November of 1992, Joseph J. Crisco, Jr. represents the 17th Senatorial District towns of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Bethany, Derby, Hamden, Naugatuck, and Woodbridge.
Now serving his eleventh term, Senator Crisco is part of the leadership team for the Senate Democratic Caucus. He is the Chief Deputy President Pro Tempore and also serves as the Federal Relations Liaison for the caucus. Senator Crisco is currently co-chair of the Insurance and Real Estate Committee and co-chair of the legislature's Internship Committee. He is vice Chair of the Banks Committee and Commerce Committee, and a member of the Executive and Legislative Nominations Committee of Legislative Management.
With responsibility for the Insurance Committee, Senator Crisco has helped reaffirm Connecticut's status as the insurance capital of the world—his work to expand coverage for breast cancer screenings has become a national and international model, and his Biomedical Research Fund, with revenue from tobacco settlement payments to the state, underwrites experiments regarding the cause and potential cures for smoking related diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes.
Before being elected to the State Senate, Senator Crisco worked for the United Technologies Corporation. He joined UTC in 1976, serving in government liaison assignments before being named Director of Government Affairs in 1986. He was promoted to National Director of State and Local Government Affairs in 1990. Senator Crisco has also been an associate professor of economics at Quinnipiac University, Sacred Heart University, and the University of New Haven.
Each year, Senator Crisco sponsors a Senior Fair, which provides health information and services to seniors in the 17th District. The fair has attracted more than 800 seniors, and it is one of the largest events of its kind held in Connecticut.
Senator Crisco has also sponsored the Annual Young Women in Technology Expo to help introduce seventh grade young women to the many fields in which the knowledge of technology plays a critical role. The Expo is a day-long series of hands-on technology workshops on the campus of Quinnipiac University.
Long active in community service, Senator Crisco has served as Citizen Appointee to the Connecticut Legislative Task Force on Manufacturing, and as President of the University of Connecticut Alumni Association. He served as a member of the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees, the State Board of Higher Education, the Governor's Commission on Financial Assistance for Higher Education, the Woodbridge Board of Education and the State Community and Technical Colleges Board of Trustees.
Senator Crisco, long known as an advocate for senior citizens, quality health care, and economic development, is the recipient of many awards and honors that include being recognized for his legislative leadership by United Seniors in Action and the Birmingham Group. In addition, he received the Connecticut Medical Society Legislative Award for Commitment to Quality of Patient Care, the Wilbur Cross Humanities Award, the Connecticut Council of Independent Colleges Award for Distinguished Service, a Distinguished Service Award from the Italian Government, a Legislative Leadership Award from the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, and has been recognized for his commitment to home health care and by the State Firemen's Association. He received the Military Order of the Purple Heart Citation for his work on behalf of veterans and their families. He was named an Indoor Air Quality Hero for his efforts to help protect students and school employees from environmental health hazards, and the classrooms at the Redwing Pond House at the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center were named after Senator Crisco because he helped obtain $30,000 in funding for the project.
Senator Crisco has also served as a member of several task forces and study groups. His present and past appointments include: Jobs for the Future Task Force, Naugatuck Valley Economic Study, Revenue Services Small and Medium Sized Users Committee, the Governor's Federal Funds Advisory Committee, Uncompensated Care Task Force, and the State Planning and Conservation Commission. He also serves on the Executive Committee of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators.
Senator Crisco's legislative accomplishments include passage of his Investment Tax Credit, ConnPACE COLA, Deployment Center, Corridor Zone, and Diabetes Coverage bills. Additionally, Senator Crisco was proud to work successfully to obtain key funding for the refurbishment of the Sterling Opera House in Derby, a project that will help to spark redevelopment efforts both in Derby and throughout the Valley, as well as other important projects such as the expansion of the Ansonia Nature Center and the enhancement of the Bethany Historical Society.
In August 1998, Senator Crisco served as honorary chairman of Connecticut's first "Family Day," which is now an annual event that celebrated its 13th anniversary in September, 2010. "Family Day" promotes the virtues of family and parenting by setting aside a day each year for families to spend together.
Senator Crisco holds a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the University of Connecticut and studied at the graduate level at Trinity College in Hartford. Raised in New Haven, he lives in Woodbridge with his wife, Pat. They have six children and sixteen grandchildren.

KU Web Movie
The Beat of "THINK×ACT" ~Your future will move on at Kansai University~
In July 2008, Kansai University determined its long-term vision for the university, entitled "KU Vision 2008-2017". As to the future direction of the university, we adopted the slogan of 'looking social realities in the face, and meeting the challenges presented by social change, KU human resources fully capable of "action-from-thought" will open up new worlds'.
Having decided to make a web movie on the theme of "capability of action-from-thought", We asked Mr. Hideki Kuroda, a leading Japanese CM director, who graduated from Kansai University, to direct a web movie. Despite his tight schedule, he kindly agreed to cooperate for the sake of his alma mater. Furthermore, Mr. Kuroda asked other alumni who are also prominent in the industry to participate in the project as a producer and other staff members. Therefore, including the cast of enrolled students, this will be an ALL KANDAI project.
Mr. Hideki kurodas Profile
CM director. Born in Osaka, 1958. After graduating from the Faculty of Sociology at Kansai University in 1982, he joined Dentsu Motion Pictures Inc., which is now Dentsu Creative X Inc. In 1990, he went freelance, and established his own office in 1994.
Due to his unique images, he achieved great success in the CM world. He has made many memorable CMs for the likes of Suntory, Mandom, Toyota, Shiseido, and Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare, whose Regain energy drink catchphrase "Can you fight for 24 hours?" was discussed as a Japanese theory. It has been said that his original expression which always stimulates viewers has changed the direction of CF images.
Apart from CMs, he also directed music videos for Masaharu Fukuyama, Southern All Stars, SMAP, and Yosui Inoue, among others. Using a precise processing of images, he creates scenes reflecting "right brain" thinking. He has won many awards.

Cow's Milk is the Cruellest Drink: A Case for the Vegan Option Continued
Humans are the only species that drinks milk from another animal or that drink milk throughout adulthood. Supermarkets are abundant with milk products - like cheese, yoghurts, cream. Yet the health benefits are questionable: saturated fats; hormones; overly rich in protein; and implicated as a cause of testicular, breast and prostate cancer and heart disease.

Flights canceled at JIA because of winter storm
Updated On: Dec 20 2012 03:36:25 PM EST
Some flights at Jacksonville International Airport have been canceled because of a winter storm hitting much of the country Thursday.
United Airlines canceled flights into Chicago. Airport staff were making arrangements for travelers to catch later flights.
It's frustrating, but some are trying to make the best of it.
"Flights are coming in but nothing is going back," said Don Reynolds, whose flight was canceled at JIA. "I guess they want to clear the runway to make room for snow equipment. I got a flight in the morning and hopefully I will get out then. I been here four weeks without a day off work. Trying to get home.
Travelers are encouraged to call ahead and check with their airlines or check flights at www.flyjax.com.

From the field to your refrigerator, no produce gets there faster than the farm-fresh fruits and vegetables you will find at Kowalski's. We partner with great local distributers, such as Russ Davis and J&J, to get exactly what we want with "just in time" deliveries (2 times per day, plus once on Sunday); as a result, we often get newer lots and newer items as soon as they become available.
We instruct our vendor partners to always seek quality over price. We buy better grades of produce, such as Washington Extra-Fancy Apples whenever just U.S. Extra-Fancy or Fancy grades will do. And we carry exclusive products that you can't get anywhere else, such as Premium LOVE Oranges, known for their extra-sweet taste and premium quality. We buy larger sizes (e.g. 9.5 row cherries vs. 12 row cherries; 9 ct. cantaloupe vs. 12 ct. cantaloupe).
At Kowalski's we believe fresh produce is the centerpiece of healthy eating. That's why you'll always find the highest quality selection in our market. We encourage good health through an offering of natural and organic items in the Produce Departments. We work with local growers as much as possible to gather the freshest produce available right here in Minnesota. We offer over 300 items, including a wide range of specialty fruits and vegetables, organically grown varieties and all the usual favorites.
Our friendly, knowledgeable produce staff is proud to let our customers taste the Kowalski's difference. We offer samples of new items as they first become available. The greatest items are highlighted by a "Manager's recommendation" sign. Our Produce Staff also makes fruit baskets upon request.
- J&J DISTRIBUTING: J&J supplies us with juices squeezed fresh daily, including a seasonal juice that changes as fruits come in to season.
- KINGSBURG ORCHARDS: During the stone fruit season – when peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums and pluots come in from California – Kingsburg supplies us with their top product line called Cornerstone, to which we have exclusive access. Cornerstone features the sweetest, juiciest stone fruit of them all, and it is only available at Kowalski's. Kingsburg is also on the cutting edge in the development of new varieties, such as the Black Apricot.
- UNTIEDT FARMS: We are partnered with one of the leading Minnesota Grown vegetable suppliers in the state. Untiedt Farms of Waverly, Minnesota, is a large supplier of corn for the Minnesota State Fair. They also supply us with Homegrown Tomatoes, which are the best tomatoes of the summer and come fresh from the garden to our markets within 24 hours.

As soon as Washington State cherries become available, we work with our growers who keep us supplied in the largest and most desirable varieties of cherries and they are exclusive to Kowalski's.
- SKY VALLEY: Kowalski's carries the Sky Valley Heirloom Navel Oranges in the peak of citrus season. This variety is where all navel oranges originated, and there is not a juicier, more classic navel orange taste anywhere – period.
- OCEAN MIST: We carry Ocean Mist vegetables, a family-owned company headquartered in Castroville, California. Since 1924, they have passed on a commitment to high quality from generation to generation, and their signature Long-Stem Artichoke is one of the finest vegetables grown in the U.S.
- VARIOUS POTATO GROWERS: The potatoes sold under the Kowalski's name are a cut above the rest. They are sourced from around the country throughout the year to ensure they are always at the peak of the season. This allows us to sell the moistest, most flavorful potatoes year-round. We only bag up evenly sized potatoes, and only to order. Fresh cuts are packed in containers selected for how they retain freshness.

ATRS Hangs 'For Sale' Sign on Real Estate Holdings
Posted 9/20/2004 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
David Malone, Shirron's replacement, helped establish a moratorium on direct real estate investments until he could get a firm handle on the situation.
His conclusion is that an inordinate amount of staff time is spent dealing with such a small portion of the fund's $8.1 billion in assets. ATRS has invested about $185 million in real estate holdings, primarily in Arkansas.
To put things right, Malone is directing a sell-off of some properties.
"We're purposefully trying to downsize this portfolio over time," he said. "But we're not
going to let someone come in and buy a property in a fire sale."
Malone has identified 17 properties to sell during the next five years. Eight are pegged for sale as soon as an acceptable deal can be struck. This short list includes seven properties that produce little or no income for the pension fund.
Four are undeveloped tracts, would-be retirement center sites in west Little Rock, Fayetteville and Jonesboro and acreage near the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport.
"I'm losing opportunity by having that money tied up," Malone said.
He wants to get that money working in the pension fund's resurging stock holdings. The value of its domestic holdings grew by 25.7 percent and foreign stock holding increased by 28 percent during the fiscal year ending June 30.
The value of the pension fund's overall investments grew by 17.7 percent during that period.
"We're understaffed for an $8 billion pension fund," Malone said. "We decided to downsize the real estate portfolio. It was a personnel issue.
"We're going to be pushing the Legislature on this. If we're going to have as diversified a portfolio as we have, we're going to have to have more people, more highly trained people."
In terms of selling properties, ATRS already has shed three from its portfolio this year.
• The Benton Commons Shopping Center, purchased in November 2000 for $6.6 million, was sold for $6.8 million.
• The 8,100-SF Cherry Brook Building, purchased in June 1996 for $1.1 million, was sold for $1.2 million.
• The 27,000-SF Riley Building in downtown Little Rock, inherited along with $1.1 million in debt in a loan default settlement with Pat Riley Sr., was sold for $1.5 million.
Here's a digest of the fund's other real estate holdings and Malone's current plans for them:
Properties For Sale
• 1,364 Acres in Benton County
The property near the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport is under contract in a deal that essentially would be break-even for ATRS. The land was assembled during 2000-01 for $11.8 million in a speculative deal.
• 63 Acres in Fayetteville
Negotiations are in motion to sell to Stonehill-PRM Realty of Dallas in a $5 million deal. The property was acquired for $4.26 million.
• 70.9 Acres in west Little Rock
Two 5-acre tracts are under contract to separate would-be buyers. ATRS officials are confident about ultimately recouping more than $4.3 million, the original purchase price.
• 102 Acres in Jonesboro
The ATRS Board of Trustees approved selling 35 acres for $682,500 to Mark Fowler, president of Liberty Bank of Jonesboro. Fowler has offered to acquire an additional 23 acres for $368,000, and there are negotiations to sell the entire property.
Trustees are coming to grips with the reality that the pension fund could lose as much as $1 million on a resale. ATRS officials have learned the $2.9 million purchase price was based on an unrealistic appraisal.
• 623 Woodlane Ave., a 3,900-SF building near the state Capitol and 46 adjoining parking spaces
The ATRS investment committee recently rejected a $300,000 offer by the Arkansas Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors to acquire the building and 14 parking spaces.
The $700,000 investment originally was envisioned to complement the pension fund's neighboring Victory Building development. Recent appraisals indicate ATRS paid too much for the property, which was purchased without the benefit of an appraisal.
• 8015 Geyer Springs Road, a 6.6-acre development in southwest Little Rock that was once home to a Harvest Foods grocery store
The 56,000-SF building and most of the parking area is under contract for sale to be redeveloped as a secured storage facility, and ATRS intends to retain an acre leased for a McDonald's restaurant. Expectations are the sale, lease payments and an expected future sale to McDonald's will help the pension fund recover its $1.5 million investment.
• 39.58 percent stake in the 11-story, 258-room Hilton Suites Dallas North, which opened in late 2002 adjacent to the Galleria Entertainment and Shopping Complex
After opening less than two years ago, the project already is in financial trouble. ATRS contributed an additional $1 million to keep the project afloat.
The pension fund initially contributed $5.15 million to help launch the development brought to ATRS by Herrington Inc., a Little Rock-based private equity firm led by Phil Herrington.
The property is for sale with an uncertain financial outcome.
• Bank of America Plaza, a 75,900-SF office building in Fayetteville
Though profitable since its $3.5 million purchase in December 1999, the property is marked for sale to shorten the ATRS real estate roster.
It was chosen for sale because of its location near the Fayetteville Square, considered a hotbed for redevelopment.
Recommended for Sale
The following properties are being considered for sale in the next three to five years, after firm cash flows are established or lawsuits resolved:
• 377 Airport Road, a 26,000-SF office building in West Memphis purchased for $2.2 million and leased to the Department of Human Services, and 3737 E. Broad St., a 26,000-SF office building in Texarkana purchased for $1.8 million and leased to DHS.
Both properties are generating nice returns, and both are the subject of breach-of-contract lawsuits with ATRS as the plaintiff. The pension fund had to invest an estimated $250,000 to fix structural problems covered by warranty under the purchase agreement.
The parking lot in Texarkana had to be rebuilt because the contractor allegedly performed inadequate base work to support the paving. The West Memphis project had alleged deficiencies in site work that caused foundation problems from rainfall flowing toward the building instead of away from it.
• 1 & 2 American Center, a 412,600-SF office complex in Nashville, Tenn.
ATRS invested nearly $17 million to acquire an 80 percent stake in the American Center project in December 2000. Cooper Realty Investments of Rogers owns the remaining 20 percent of this overall $71 million deal.
• Crescent Center/Forum I, two office projects in east Memphis
The pension fund invested nearly $14.4 million in May 2001 to acquire an 80 percent share of the 336,000-SF Crescent Center and the 162,000-SF Forum I.
Ownership declined to 66.24 percent after ATRS officials opted not to invest an additional $3 million to pay for improvements and leasing costs. Cooper Realty shouldered the full brunt of the cash call and increased its original 20 percent stake to 33.7 percent.
Whether the projects were underbudgeted by Cooper Realty or the properties simply were overpriced remains a topic of debate.
• Two Financial Centre, a 118,000-SF office building in west Little Rock
Financial Centre
ATRS invested $3 million for an 80 percent stake in the office development in May 2000. Ownership was cut to 69.2 percent when ATRS officials chose not to invest an additional $400,000 to overcome a higher than expected loss of tenants.
Cooper was forced to fund the full capital call, increasing its ownership to 30.8 percent.
• Southcenter Shopping Center, a 215,000-SF retail project in Hot Springs
The pension fund paid $12.7 million for the 20-acre development in July 2000. The project, which had generated an 8.5 percent return, was rocked when it lost Kmart as an anchor tenant.
The retailing giant escaped from its long-term lease through Chapter 11 reorganization, and ATRS is to receive shares of rebounding Kmart stock to cover past-due lease payments. Two-thirds of the Kmart space has since been leased to Hobby Lobby.
• Woodland Heights, 63-unit retirement project in west Little Rock
The pension fund took ownership of the project three years ago as part of a settlement with Pat Riley Sr., who defaulted on an $11.5 million loan from ATRS.
Though not part of the loan's collateral, Riley transferred ownership to the pension fund to help negotiate a release of his personal guarantee of the debt. In accepting the property, ATRS took on about $3 million in liabilities tallied by Riley.
Occupancy at Woodland Heights is now at 100 percent with a 25-person waiting list. ATRS is considering the construction of a second residential tower to address the demand and make the project more fiscally efficient.
• Woodland Heights Rehabilitation Health Care Center, a 222-bed nursing home in west Little Rock
ATRS inherited the property through the Riley loan default. Occupancy has ranged as high as 175 beds to between 90 and 125 beds more recently. Plans call for boosting occupancy by increasing the number of assisted living to complement the acute care operations.
• Northridge Rehabilitation and Health Care Center, a 112-bed nursing home in North Little Rock with a capacity for 224
The pension fund inherited this project through the Riley loan default. State regulators closed the Northridge facility in late 2000 after Riley failed to meet the standard quality of care.
ATRS reopened half the facility after investing $1.5 million to bring the entire project up to grade. The project is about 70 percent occupied, and officials hope to use the other half of the facility for assisted living residents.
For Sale in 5-10 years
• Victory Building, a 250,100-SF office building at 1401 W. Capitol Ave. in Little Rock and an adjoining 1,000-car parking deck
The $42.8 million project opened in early 2002 and is 56 percent leased, about a year behind Flake & Kelley Commercial's leasing projections.

About Clawdaddy Restaurant :
Get your claws on some of the finest American Cajun-style food in the country every time you come to Clawdaddy! And don't you worry about the cost - Ensogo has you covered with a whopping 60% discount on any food and beverages worth P700, good for two people. That's only P280 for members to grab that Clawdaddy feast, for you and a loved one!
Clawdaddy has a great base to build on, being part of the famous Red Crab group of restaurants. And has it ever! The restaurant is spearheaded by Raymund Magdaluyo, the big daddy of crabs and seafood in the metro, and Murray Hertz, the big daddy of southern American dining. Also on board is Executive Chef Peter Ayson, former sous chef of Orange, the award-wining gourmet breakfast restaurant in Chicago, USA.
Diners take a bib and bucket, and go to town on the wide variety of scrumptious appetizers, soups and salads, and of course, Clawdaddy's legendary barbeque and seafood. The King Barbeque Caboodle is a heady mix of baby back ribs, beef and chicken marinated with special sauces and cooked to perfection, giving discerning diners a sweet, zesty taste. Seafood lovers will rave over the restaurant's Creole-style cooking, particularly when the Crab and Lobster Boil - shrimp, prawns, crayfish, blue crab, mussels and clams cooked in a special sauce with Cajun spices - comes to the table. Clawdaddy also has the Crab Maritess, a special king crab dish with olive oil, chili, garlic and white wine that brings out the natural sweetness of this giant crustacean's meat.
These and much more await the American-style barbeque lover at Clawdaddy's two locations in the Shangri-La Plaza Hotel in Mandaluyong City and Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City. And for Ensogo members, meals become all the more delicious with our 60% discount on P700 worth of food good for two! P280 is all it takes to enjoy some of Metro Manila's best authentic Cajun cooking, so talk to us today!
Claw Daddy is the first restaurant that merits a perfect score for me. The customer service was also notable. Rod, our waiter, was there to attend to our every need. He even went as far as to explain the origins of the restaurant and engage us in light banter about the food"
This restaurant is perfect for family, dates, barkada get-togethers. It's actually good for all occasions. Again, let me reiterate, it looks pricey but if you share the platters you'll actually spend around P250-P500 each. Not bad if you ask me since you're paying for the complete dining experience. Claw Daddy is a certified Wauks Food Trip Favorite. I will definitely come back here sometime soon. Well, when I get more cash. Maybe on pay day. ..."
- Lol.
I love this restaurant!!! Their food is so tasty and mouthwatering! Two thumbs up for this restaurant! Its ambience is also nice, and the service is good enough… They've met my needs. I'm planning to go back again actually. By the way, it is somehow pricey, but the serving is big ..."

The horror surrounding the shooting of two young boys at Kings Cross in the early hours of Saturday morning has taken a new twist with claims police opened fire on the two youths after the car they were travelling in had crashed and come to a complete standstill.

LGBTP? Oh hell no. There is no such thing as the "LGBTP" community.
> hot under the caller
> ignorant
You must be ignorant about that phrase, ironically. It's "hot under the collar", as if someone is breathing fire down one's neck.
You seriously equate jammers with the "right not to be killed by some idiot on the road who decides that his right to text supersedes the fact that he's supposed to operate his vehicle in a safe manner"? What, are you jamming from your mobile vehicle? Great, so when you're passing a wreck, your jammer floods out the call they're currently making to 911, requiring a redial, costing precious seconds which could quite literally cost that person their life. All in your quest to stamp out texting and driving. News flash - all it takes is a single packet to make it through for a text to send.
What law gives you the right to flood the EM spectrum with noise?
The person it's deriding gets to decide if it's offensive. That's kind of how it works. The white guy doesn't get to decide if Nigger is a bad word. The white guy doesn't get to decide if Chink is a bad word. The white guy doesn't get to decide if Redskin is a bad word. Etc etc etc...
In this day and age, the white guy doesn't get to decide if Cracker is a bad word, either.
The other main reason would be to prepare the work for public release before it's eventual copyright lapse. That's assuming that Google is still around in 500 years (at least the way copyright extensions are handled it'll likely be at least that long).
The right to control your own body's count of infectious diseases ends when you associate with other people who may or may not be vaccinated, and thus spread the diseases to some of them. Similar to the fact that your right to punch into random directions ends when my nose is in one of those directions.
And yes, I meant to put "explaining" in scare quotes both times at the end there and neglected to do so. This is not some "smoking gun" that I have an ulterior motive to support Hachette, for all you conspiracy nuts out there.
Spot on. I take issue with Amazon's handling of this not because of anything to do with whether books are a "consumer good" or not, which they clearly are in the first place (they're sold at retail, buyer gains first sale rights concerning the physical object, sounds pretty much like a good to me). It's because it's anti-consumer. It punishes people who dare to buy from vendors or publishers which the marketplace provider has some sort of issue with. It's exactly like the fights between cable/satellite providers and distributors. The only thing they do is punish the people who enjoy the things they air. Exactly like those situations, we have public communication from each entity blaming the other and confusing the average person. I half-expect Amazon to start putting a little ad-size box on pages for Hachette books "explaining" to the potential buyer why they shouldn't even buy the book in the first place, and Hachette adding extra pages into Amazon-destined copies explaining how shitty Amazon is.
It's all a big dick-waving contest and doesn't help anyone but the one with the biggest dick.
But things that are considered consumer goods, like many technologies, are not completely fungible by that standard. Sure, you have devices that can serve the same purpose, but in most cases they're not really interchangeable without some major changes in what you're doing. You can't really replace a Wii U with an Xbox One and consider them "completely fungible".
The problem isn't misogyny itself, on an individual basis, any more than the problem is invidualized misandry. The problem is when such hate is institutionalized, and I think it's arguable that institutionalized misogyny is at its lowest point in decades. If you start trying to tell individuals what's right and wrong to think, then you are dangerously close to Orwellian thoughtcrime for my tastes. What matters is how people act, which is where any protections need to be placed.
I think that part is intended for works that have not been released yet. Notice it says "being prepared for commercial distribution". As in, leaking things early.
When you gain the power that comes with being a police officer, then everything you do when on duty and filling that official capacity should be open to public scrutiny. Since abuses of that power have very direct and damaging effects on the victims of said abuses, I feel that all officers must sacrifice some of their freedom, while on the job, in order to help protect civilian rights. Those who are good officers that go by the book in every situation (outside of emergency situations that can and do occur, that require nearly instantaneous reaction time) and don't abuse their power have nothing to worry about - if something bad happens that is questionable, having a record of it would also protect the officer.
Yes, I realize that's dangerously close to "if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide". However, there is a difference between applying that to civilian individuals (including off-duty police officers) who have a very real right to privacy, and applying it to people who we have allowed to have legal power above and beyond what we allow civilians to do (for example, while civilians in many areas have the right to make a "citizen's arrest", they most likely do not have the right to use physical force to detain that individual, whereas the police do have that right). With power comes the responsibility to ensure that those powers are used properly, and having such interactions recorded as a matter of law protects the civilian and the officer.
I personally think this would be a good idea with civilians too, but the difference is, with officers (and other public officials with power above an ordinary civilian), those recording devices should be mandated by law and such footage available for review by any member of the public, but with civilians, the control over such devices (and indeed, the entire decision to wear them at all) should rest with the individual device owner. I really wish people would get over their Google Glass hangups and realize that, while in public, there is no right not to be recorded. Having a record of the day's interactions (that would automatically fade into the ether after, say, 24 hours, unless a segment is explicitly reviewed by the user and saved) would help prevent or at least reduce the "he said, she said" arguments that sometimes occur when a claim is made, because there is an impartial record of what happened (and in fact, in a society that doesn't have such a hangup about "public privacy", all parties would be recording, making for a way to corroborate what happened and have a fighting chance at detecting editing or other tampering).
Humans will travel into deep space when it's "safe".
So, in other words, never.
What this country needs is a good five dollar plasma weapon.

Quake Moved Japan coast by 8 feet: USGS

By the AFP
Japan's recent massive earthquake, one of the largest ever recorded, appears to have moved the island by about eight feet (2.4 meters), the US Geological Survey said.
"That's a reasonable number," USGS seismologist Paul Earle told AFP. "Eight feet, that's certainly going to be in the ballpark."
Friday's 8.9 magnitude quake unleashed a terrifying tsunami that engulfed towns and cities on Japan's northeastern coast, destroying everything in its path in what Prime Minister Naoto Kan said was an "unprecedented national disaster."
The quake and its tectonic shift resulted from "thrust faulting" along the boundary of the Pacific and North America plates, according to the USGS.
The Pacific plate pushes under a far western wedge of the North America plate at the rate of about 3.3 inches (83 millimeters) per year, but a colossal earthquake can provide enough of a jolt to dramatically move the plates, with catastrophic consequences.
"With an earthquake this large, you can get these huge ground shifts," Earle said. "On the actual fault you can get 20 meters (65 feet) of relative movement, on the two sides of the fault."
He said similar movements would have been seen for Chile and Indonesia.
In December 2004, a 9.1 magnitude quake off Sumatra caused a tsunami that killed an estimated 228,000 people. An 8.8 quake off the coast of Chile in February 2010 killed more than 500.
There was not a similar ground shift in the 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti in February 2010, Earle said.
"A magnitude 7.0 is much smaller than the earthquake that just happened in Japan," he said. "We've had aftershocks (in Japan) larger than the Haiti earthquake."
Kenneth Hudnut, a USGS geophysicist, said experts read data including from global positioning systems to determine the extend of the shift.
"We know that one GPS station moved (eight feet), and we have seen a map from GSI (Geospatial Information Authority) in Japan showing the pattern of shift over a large area is consistent with about that much shift of the land mass," he told CNN.
Japan Quake May Have Slightly Shortened Earth Days, Moved Axis: NASA
Excerpt from NASA, in Science Daily
This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Global bathymetry map image released on March 11, 2011 shows features of the ocean floor depth (or bathymetry) from a NOAA ETOPO-1 dataset. The image shows the entire Western Pacific basin. Notice how abruptly the Japanese islands rise out of the ocean. Other coastal Asian areas have much more gradual slopes. The islands and mountain ranges throughout the ocean, visible in this imagery, also affect the tsunami travel time and speed. In the open ocean, tsunamis can travel at speeds up to 500 mph (800 kph). This momentum is what creates such a destructive force as the wave moves inland. (NOAA)
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck Japan March 11, 2011 may have slightly shortened the length of each Earth day and shifted its axis.
Using a United States Geological Survey estimate for how the fault responsible for the earthquake slipped, research scientist Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., applied a complex model to perform a preliminary theoretical calculation of how the Japan earthquake, the fifth largest since 1900, affected Earth's rotation. His calculations indicate that by changing the distribution of Earth's mass, the Japanese earthquake should have caused Earth to rotate a bit faster, shortening the length of the day by about 1.8 microseconds (a microsecond is one millionth of a second).
The calculations also show the Japan quake should have shifted the position of Earth's figure axis (the axis about which Earth's mass is balanced) by about 17 centimeters (6.5 inches), towards 133 degrees east longitude. Earth's figure axis should not be confused with its north-south axis; they are offset by about 10 meters (about 33 feet). This shift in Earth's figure axis will cause Earth to wobble a bit differently as it rotates, but it will not cause a shift of Earth's axis in space, only external forces such as the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon and planets can do that.
Both calculations will likely change as data on the quake are further refined.
In comparison, following last year's magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile, Gross estimated the Chile quake should have shortened the length of day by about 1.26 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 8 centimeters (3 inches). A similar calculation performed after the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatran earthquake revealed it should have shortened the length of day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 7 centimeters, or 2.76 inches. How an individual earthquake affects Earth's rotation depends on its size (magnitude), location and the details of how the fault slipped.
Gross said that, in theory, anything that redistributes Earth's mass will change Earth's rotation.
"Earth's rotation changes all the time as a result of not only earthquakes, but also the much larger effects of changes in atmospheric winds and oceanic currents," he said. "Over the course of a year, the length of the day increases and decreases by about a millisecond, or about 550 times larger than the change caused by the Japanese earthquake. The position of Earth's figure axis also changes all the time, by about 1 meter (3.3 feet) over the course of a year, or about six times more than the change that should have been caused by the Japan quake."
Gross said that while we can measure the effects of the atmosphere and ocean on Earth's rotation, the effects of earthquakes, at least up until now, have been too small to measure. The computed change in the length of day caused by earthquakes is much smaller than the accuracy with which scientists can currently measure changes in the length of the day. However, since the position of the figure axis can be measured to an accuracy of about 5 centimeters (2 inches), the estimated 17-centimeter shift in the figure axis from the Japan quake may actually be large enough to observe if scientists can adequately remove the larger effects of the atmosphere and ocean from the Earth rotation measurements. He and other scientists will be investigating this as more data become available.
Gross said the changes in Earth's rotation and figure axis caused by earthquakes should not have any impacts on our daily lives.
"These changes in Earth's rotation are perfectly natural and happen all the time," he said. "People shouldn't worry about them."

We visited on a busy Friday night. Slightly stale poppadums, inattentive service and a long, long wait for our food. We were told fresh food takes a long time but diving in we experienced watery tarka dall and unsatisfactory meal. My wife ended up using salt on her food. She never uses salt, let alone on indian food. Others experienced delays. Nice Nan though. Hence the 3 stars.

Horrendous service. Were treated as if we were not welcomed there. Food was burnt and suitable at best looked poor at worst attrocious. Waiters, at first there was one, who clearly was not interested in serving us, then a second joined who was even less interested than the first one (didnt think it possible). We were overcharged and the takeaway we'd ordered for a colleague never materialised even though they charged us. We werent asked whether we were ok all night. Place was a mess and we had to clean our own table. In one word, attrocious. WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN nor recommend it.

MIDI to USB
For a basic MIDI to USB solution that will allow you to plug your MIDI keyboard or other MIDI device into your computer, the M-Audio USB Midisport Uno MIDI Interface is a common solution. The interface will plug straight into your USB and is powered by the USB port so there is no need for an external power source. Some of the features include:
MIDI to USB Options With More Functionality
As an entry level solution to being able to plug MIDI to USB the M-Audio USB MIDIsport Uno MIDI interface above (and similar models) should provide a perfectly adequate solution, however, more upmarket solutions allow you to get more functionality integrated into the device.
Examples of such solutions are as follow:
Audio/MIDI Interface
You can move to an integrated audio/MIDI interface that includes both MIDI to USB but also includes a low latency audio USB interface. One of the main issues here is that if you are doing music studio work on a pc, you might encounter the latency problem. That is where there is a small audible delay between the playing of a sound on your computer and your hearing of that sound. This can effect a music production situation in many undesirable ways. If you are playing a MIDI keyboard into a synth on your computer, there will be an audible delay between playing a note and hearing it.
Additionally, if you are playing back tracks on your pc while recording an additional track in some sort of studio software, the tracks may not sync properly due to the delay. Many studios include an ability to compensate for this, however if you are running real time effects on the track being recorded and as such want to hear the computer version of the track rather than the external sound. You will not be able to get a properly timed recording process with input signal monitoring.
More upmarket Audio/MIDI interfaces include what is called an ASIO driver that reduces this latency to an inaudible level. An example of such an interface is the M-Audio Fast Track Pro 4×4 Mobile USB Audio/MIDI Interface with Preamps. You can then get more upmarket and for example increase the number of audio inputs so that you can record several parts simultaneously (See for example the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra High-speed 8 x 8 USB 2.0 Interface).
MIDI Controller with USB and MIDI I/O
|If you do not have a keyboard to send your MIDI signals, you can get keyboards that will allow USB and/or MIDI interfaces. Here you have your controller keyboard and your MIDI I/O in the one device. If you want to play live with a MIDI synth or sampler module you can plug this controller straight into your MIDI device, or alternatively, you can plug the USB on the controller into your computer to act as a keyboard controller straight into your USB. Some of these solutions also include additional controls such as faders, that you can assign to MIDI parameters (such as your different track volumes for mixing). You can also get an array of other controllers integrated here such as touch pads to assign to drums or samples. An example of such an interface is the M-Audio AXIOM 49 Advanced 49-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller.

describes what can and cannot be done now and what the agency would like to tackle in the future—namely, the quality change issue. One of the most difficult issues that arises in health accounting and price indexing work is comorbidity; when patients require medical care for multiple conditions, the task of assigning expenditures to predefined categories accurately becomes much more complicated. This will be a key topic in these papers.
Data needs for advancing health accounting were identified at several points throughout the day. Dale Jorgenson emphasized the need to consider a wide range of possible data sources to underpin the satellite health care account. His suggestion to BEA and BLS was that they work out a way of coordinating their data infrastructures as efficiently as possible. He made the point that a solution will need to be found for combining data on providers' prices with the information collected from claims and suggested that kind of work be put on the table for BEA. Ana Aizcorbe agreed that exploiting multiple data sources was a key task, but she noted a number of difficulties, among them the barriers to linking provider data on expenditures with data on patients. A lot could be done with claims data for the insured population if, for no other reason, because of their enormous size and coverage. BEA staff agreed that using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) as the backbone of the data infrastructure, and then claims information in a supplemental role wherever gaps appear, was a reasonable strategy. Many participants noted the importance of anticipating how alternative strategies will play out once the research program is in full swing.
To monitor quality change in medical care for purposes of price measurement, accurate data on outcomes for treatments—defined in parallel with the expenditure categories—would be needed. Mark McClellan spoke about measuring treatment outcomes in this context. Among participants, there seemed to be complete agreement that quality adjustment of price indexes for the satellite health care accounts is extremely important, and also that it is very hard to do.
Gail Wilensky noted two specific types of data needs that will need to be combined: (1) individual observations in a national probability sample (e.g., MEPS), which provides good measures for conditions that occur frequently enough in a relatively small sample and for which a good reliable statistical basis can be formed, and (2) registries or other specialized data for those rarer conditions that would otherwise require very large data sets to provide that information.
In closing comments, Wilensky summarized the role of BEA's program, noting that many of the key tasks will involve long-term research commitments. Because of this, using a mechanism such as a satellite account—in which experimental strategies can be explored while not interfering with the workings of the regular national accounts—offers a good strategy for balancing the need for additional information with the need to maintain methodologies that have a proven historical record.

Iceland's centre-left government has survived a vote of no-confidence after suffering a defeat in a referendum over an unresolved debt dispute with Britain and the Netherlands.The main opposition party, the Independence Party, called the vote after Icelanders rejected on Saturday a deal providing a state guarantee for repaying more than $5bn to the British and Dutch.The parliamentary vote on Wednesday was close, with 32 members voting against the bill and 30 voting in favour while one abstained.Prime Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir's government had negotiated the deal with Britain and the Netherlands, which compensated savers in their countries who lost money as banking group Landsbanki collapsed in 2008.The dispute is now likely to be settled in a European court, an outcome which some analysts have said could prove to be more costly for Iceland than the agreement dismissed by voters.Economists have said failure to resolve the issue could deter investment, weaken Iceland's already battered credit ratings and delay progress in loosening currency controls.

A Louisiana domiciled insurance company must be incorporated pursuant to and the Articles of Incorporation must be compliant with the provisions of La. R.S. 22:62.
Once the Articles of Incorporation are properly prepared, the document must be submitted to the Louisiana Department of Insurance (LDI) for approval. The LDI encourages review and discussion of the proposed Articles of Incorporation prior to the official and final submission for approval. The documents submitted to the LDI for final approval may be executed or unexecuted.
If the LDI finds the Articles of Incorporation are compliant with the applicable laws, the document will be approved for recordation and returned to the submitter for recordation in the office of the recorder of mortgages (generally the Clerk of Court) in the parish of domicile of the corporation.
Once the Articles of Incorporation are properly recorded with the recorder of mortgages in the parish of domicile, the company exists as a corporation and may open bank accounts and otherwise carry on business as a corporation but may not transact the business of insurance until such time as it is granted a Certificate of Authority by the LDI.
The Articles of Incorporation for an insurer are not filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State.
Once the document is recorded in the office of the recorder of mortgages in the parish of domicile, the filer must obtain two copies of the document certified by that office and submit both certified documents to the LDI along with a fee of $25.00. The LDI will then record the Articles of Incorporation and the date and time of the beginning of the corporate existence of the entity which shall be the date and time on which the Articles of Incorporation were recorded in the parish of domicile.
