From the Pennsylvania Game Commission
-- As Pennsylvania county treasurers begin processing 2010-11 antlerless deer license applications, license buyers can check the status of their applications thanks to the Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS).
For antlerless deer licenses, the application period began July 12 for residents. Nonresident applications for regular antlerless deer licenses will be accepted beginning on July 26. After this, residents and nonresidents will apply for the first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 2, and residents and nonresidents will apply for the second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses on Aug. 16.
County treasurers will have to mail regular and first round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 13, and second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses no later than Sept. 27.
Beginning Aug. 2, for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D only, there is no limit to the number of unsold antlerless deer license applications an individual can submit until the allocations are exhausted. This must be done by mail only, and there is a limit of three applications per pink envelope.
Beginning Aug. 23, county treasurers will accept applications over-the-counter for WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, and may immediately issue antlerless deer licenses. Hunters may apply over-the-counter to county treasurers for any other WMU with antlerless license allocations on Nov. 2.
A Doe License Update page has been launched through the agency's homepage (www.pgc.state.pa.us) by clicking on the link https://www1.pa.wildlifelicense.com/deeravail.php. The PALS site provides a real-time status of antlerless license allocations and availability by WMU, and will aid license buyers as they determine which WMU to list as their first, second and third preference when they submit applications.
Hunters do not need to list a second or third preference on their application, but this option is available for those who hunt in multiple WMUs and want to avoid the possibility of having the application returned to them if their first preference is sold out.
The deadline for resident and nonresidents to apply for landowner antlerless deer licenses has been extended until July 23. The extension is due to difficulty with the system which prevented county treasurers from processing licenses for qualifying landowners who owns 50 or more contiguous acres of land that they leave open for public hunting and trapping. While the antlerless deer license fees are the same, residents and nonresidents landowners may apply prior to the regular round of antlerless deer license sales for residents.
To access the information, go to the Game Commission website (www.pgc.state.pa.us), and click on the blue box in the upper right-hand corner of the homepage. Click on the "Purchase License Permit and or Application/Replace License and or Permit" option, which includes the ability to "Check on the status of any Lottery Application," scroll down and click on the "Start Here" button at the bottom of the page.
At this page, choose one of the identification options below to check your records, fill in the necessary information and click on the "Continue" button. Click on the appropriate residency status, which will display your current personal information. At the bottom of the page, choose the "Check on the status of any Lottery Application" button, and then hit "Continue."
The system is designed to protect an individual's personal information, while enabling that person to check on the status of his or her application. As doe licenses are processed by county treasurers, a license buyer's application status will be updated in the system and consequently can be checked online. The update, which includes the Wildlife Management Unit for which the license was issued, occurs as soon as a county treasurer's office allocates a license to a license-buyer's account. This feature will shed light on the doe license application process unlike anything we offered before.
While this option was available through PALS last year, in previous years the only way for hunters could verify if they received an antlerless deer license was to see if their check was cashed by a county treasurer or if they received a doe license in the mail. Hunters can now learn the instant their doe license is issued. Monitoring this feature will help hunters learn if their doe license application or issued license was lost in the mail, or if it's still waiting to be processed by the county treasurer.
Hunters will be able to see for themselves if their application for the elk drawing is recorded accurately. Those who apply for the elk license drawing also will be able to confirm their preferences listed for Elk Hunt Zone and antlered or antlerless elk.
Shortly after the elk license drawing is held in mid-September, license buyers' records will be updated to let applicants know if they were drawn for one of the 50 elk licenses.

OCEANIA/AUSTRALIA - The support of the Australian Catholic to 195 dioceses in 38 nations through Catholic Mission
Sydney (Agenzia Fides) - The Autralian Pontifical Mission Society (Catholic Mission) have just released the 2011 Annual Report which shows that, during the year, supporters in Australia helped more than 370 thousand children, 9000 catechists and nearly 3000 seminarians. "The impact of the gifts, prayers and action from thousands of inspirational, caring Australians is testament to what's possible when we work together in Christ's name," said Catholic Mission's National Director, Mr Martin Teulan. More than 6% of the total global funds raised for the missions was donated to the Australian population, and over half of those raised internationally for the Oceania region came from Australian donors. "For a country with a relatively small population, it is encouraging to see the difference our gifts make. For countries like Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, Myanmar and Kiribati, Australian support is a godsend" said Mr Teulan. "Every Catholic Mission supporter continues Pauline's vision today, which this year celebrates the 150th anniversary of the death, and continue to support the work of many dedicated missionaries in 1100 diocese in Australia and overseas, reaching out to the Catholic communities in need, taking care of children, and training catechists, religious novices and seminarians".
The Australians supported the work of the Church in 195 dioceses in 38 countries and more than 2 million Catholics received opportunities for spiritual growth. Other highlights in the annual report were Catholic Mission's funding of: 371.505 children in their spiritual and practical needs, 9462 catechists and 2987 seminarians in training. The building, upkeep and maintenance of 121 pastoral centers, convents for sisters involved in pastoral and practical care, churches and other key buildings. Subsidies for 9 Catholic radio and television broadcasters. " Each individual gift helps share the practical and eternal love of Christ with at least one other child, parent, seminarian. Together, the impact changes whole communities in 38 countries – from remote Australia to Ethiopia, from Guatemala to Madagascar," concludes the National Director. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 29/3/2012)

Man! I make a vow to blog more and then my internet goes and gets all crappy on me. During that time I had exactly 23 great blog entry ideas. Now that I have access to internet again, my ideas have dropped to one. The crappy one. So crappy I'm going to blog about the worst thing any blogger could blog about: Blogging! I have a few blogging concepts I want to discuss as they've been topics of debate across the blogosphere.
- I'm trying to start responding to comments in the comments section. How do you feel about that? Do you like when bloggers do that or do you prefer email response? I think I like doing it better from the blogger point of view, but I'm not sure if I like it from a commenter point of view.
- How do you feel about RSS feeds? Do you love them? (I do!) Do you hate them because no one actually goes to blogs anymore? I kinda feel that way. It always suprises me when I actually click through to comment and the blogger has redesigned. I'm always confused because, "I read them everyday! How did I not know?" So – if you redesign, you should mention it in your blog so lazy people like me know.
- What do you think about "About" pages? What do you find useful? A Cast of characters? A short paragraph summarizing life? A 100 things list? I kinda like the 100 things lists myself.
- What about memes? How do you feel about them? Do you love them? As a blogger, I kinda love them a little. But some people think they're lame and I'm wondering what you think? Do you think I'm lame when I do them?
- Do you Myspace? I do. But I kinda have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it when people find me but I hate it when they get mad at me for never checking it.

"Sweater" is a pretty broad term.
It covers everything from the finest of gauge cashmere to the chunkiest of knit Shetland (throw a shawl collar and some elbow pads on it and you've got a full-on piece of outerwear). Then there's everything in between—good for layering or on a day that might not require a jacket. So we went ahead and found the season's six best options that should have you covered for any occasion you might encounter.

Introducing Kempt's March Madness bracket, wherein we pit the most iconic college basketball coaches against one another in an attempt to finally nail down who's the most stylish of them all.
As you'd expect, it takes more than just sporting a pocket square or one nice blazer every so often to be named one of the most stylish college coaches of all time—everyone looks at least halfway decent in a suit and tie.
We were looking for coaches with a distinct through-line of personal style—and since most of these guys spent decades and multiple trend cycles on the sidelines, it usually came down to one iconic item they'd never given up. John Wooden's thick-rimmed glasses, Bob Knight's red sweaters or even Jerry Tarkanian's "chew towel"—that sort of thing. Even if the pattern or cut of their sport jacket changed, that item didn't. Which meant a guy like Jim Boeheim just missed the cut, because you might not even recognize his surgeon-cuffed look of today as the same guy who wore this in the 1970s. (Also just missing the cut: Gary Williams and his signature sweatiness.)
But there were plenty to choose from, and we just managed to cut the field down to the Sweet 16—which is where we'll begin today, and continue to narrow down as the week progresses.
|ALL This Sporting Life
Consider this a last-minute addition to yesterday's spring must-haves: fine-gauge cashmere.
And right on time, our comrades in style over at UrbanDaddy Perks are knocking 25% off a fine selection of spring-ready cashmere sweaters, cardigans and one exceptionally cozy-looking speckled henley from Christopher Fischer—an expert on balancing the yarn's buttery-soft gauziness with just enough warmth retention perfect for the typical "summer in the light and winter in the shade" March day.
Clearly Dickens was pining for some cashmere while writing that line.
As menswear's love affair with Italian tailoring runs its course, there's been a rising trend in rumpled luxury—some have gone so far as to name it "cozy boy." (In other words, this refined-sweatpants craze is not going away anytime soon.)
Whatever you want to call it, the gold standard of this new menswear subculture has to be Elder Statesman, this year's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund recipient. It features a collection of impossibly soft, well-made and exorbitantly priced cashmere. If draping yourself in the finest of hand-knit opulence is your thing, or you'd just like to admire a $3,200 cardigan (er, robe?), here's what else you need to know.
The Story: The charmed life of knitwear designer Greg Chait has involved interning for Whitney Houston, dating an Olsen and stumbling into a high-level position with jean maker Ksubi. He founded Elder Statesman in 2007, making cashmere blankets for the wealthy—stocking private theaters and jets, that sort of thing—and the rest is history.
Who to Channel: Those Snuggie commercials—but while cozying up on your private jet instead of your lonely couch.
When to Wear It: This isn't a sweater, this is a lifestyle.
Degree of Difficulty: Low/irrelevant: if you're spending three grand on a stay-at-home sweater, you're probably not going to listen to us anyway.
A few more lavish knit offerings from Elder Statesman after the jump.»

For centuries, mankind has relied on sweaters for winter layering and autumn-night warmth. But beyond that, they've been something of an afterthought. Until today.
Because today we're celebrating the venerable garment in all of its forms by counting down the 70 greatest moments in sweaterdom—from lumpy cardigans to clingy cashmere hugging the shapely, we've found them all. And we've assembled them in full splendor.
Without further ado, the 70 greatest sweaters in the world.»
|ALL The Past
The finest sweaters were born out of cultural necessity: the fisherman sweaters of the Fair Isles, the hieroglyphic-like knit Cowichan sweaters, J.Press Shaggy Dogs…
And if you were to combine them all into one sweater, you'd get something close to the Andean alpaca sweater. Coincidentally, this new collection of Bolivian alpaca sweaters from Industry of All Nations has some especially handsome examples of the 3,000-year-old craft. Here's what else you need to know.
The Story: The gents at Industry of All Nations have traveled the world, seeking out small factories and co-ops of local artisans making quality wares—from espadrilles in South America to jeans in India. Their latest discovery was this small knitting collective in Bolivia that's making authentic alpaca sweaters the same way they've been doing it for centuries—except with an updated fit and exclusive color patterns—while giving back to their community.
Who to Channel: A turn-of-the-century backpacker, hiking up Machu Picchu; a worldly philanthropist with a penchant for hypoallergenic wool; Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
When to Wear It: Consider this the holiday sweater you can wear year-round (as long as it's cold enough outside).
Degree of Difficulty: With such a versatile piece, there should be little to no difficulty subbing this in any sweater-related situation—over an oxford, under a blazer, with jeans, with trousers. Just go for it.

Ralph Lauren is one of Americana's most venerable institutions. He's managed to clothe an entire nation—from the cable-knitted Northeast to the denim-on-denim'd Southwest.
And as a testament to that legacy, the brand is launching the webshop RL Vintage today. After a small army of vintage clothing enthusiasts/historians was assembled, the team set out, rummaging through the finer flea markets and antique shops to put together a veritable museum of Polo-centric Americana—well, a museum that you can actually buy things from. For the men's offerings, you can expect a lot of suede—and even some fringe—but something we're really looking forward to is the "Bring It Back" program that lets Polo fanatics dig through the archives and vote on pieces they'd like to see reissued. Whatever gets the most votes will actually go into production as a limited-run throwback. Currently on deck is the Polo Bear sweater, beloved by grandmothers, rappers and menswear bloggers alike.
Take a closer look at what's in store at RL Vintage, after the jump.»
Ski season has arrived surprisingly early in California—and it's got us fantasizing about hot chocolate, snowball fights and, especially, ski sweaters.
A good ski sweater has to do two jobs well. Firstly, it must keep you warm on the slopes—fits under a jacket well, has a zip at the collar if things get too warm. Secondly, it should be lodge-worthy for a fireside après-ski amongst new friends. Like the St. Moritz sweater from Obermeyer. Here's what else you should know about it.
The Story: Sixty years ago, Klaus Obermeyer left Germany to start a skiing school in Aspen, CO—nestled in America's answer to the Alps—and decided he needed the sort of ski gear that was practical and handsome. (A man after our own low-tech-loving hearts.)
Who to Channel: Jean-Claude Killy; warm mugs of spiked coffee; a holiday party in a wood-paneled ski lodge in the '70s.
When to Wear It: Aside from skiing, this should be your go-to for any sporty fall escapades: a bike ride through the woods, ice-skating, chopping firewood, carving pumpkins.
Think of This As: The Cadillac Coupe de Ville of ski sweaters.

It's one of our favorite seasonal shifts: trading in the cotton and shantung ties for the heartier knits of fall/winter.
To lead the way, the Knottery has just unveiled their autumnal offerings, and we're especially partial to these mélange knits. They're the equivalent of your favorite fall sweater—that can be wrapped around your collar. They've also come back with a few more iterations of their Norwegian sweater-inspired tie from last year—which should also have you in the mood for some leaf-crunching underfoot.
We can almost taste the tweed.

The Michael Bastian buzz has already moved on to spring 2013 (he presented the line yesterday at Fashion Week, to the typically upbeat reviews), but here's something you won't have to wait six months to get your mitts on…
This cashmere sweater with a nostalgic nod to Charlie Brown (hat tip). What's not nostalgic: there's none of the thick itchiness we can assume Chuck was constantly dealing with in his department store wool version. This, on the other hand, is luxurious stuff made in Italy and should add a nice tongue-in-cheek between your corduroy blazer and oxford button-down.
It's a better look than going for "the Pigpen."

We're fans of elbow patches in all forms. The strategically placed leather patch gives anything from blazers to cotton sweaters an extra bit of scholarly ruggedness—take these long-sleeve polos from French label LOFT design by… (that the gents of the quarterly across the pond hipped us to) for instance. The sweatshirt-leaning thickness and patches of leather put them right in fall-ready territory and could even suffice as outerwear on a day that wouldn't require another weatherproof layer. (That day is coming sooner than we know it.)

The Cosby Sweater. Never before have a man and an article of clothing been more intimately linked. But it's also important to remember that Cliff Huxtable's Fruity Pebble patterns were confined to the 1980s—and a fictional character. Sartorially, young Coz (the standup comedian, the jazz drummer, the track-and-field star) made some strong (to quite strong) style choices, combining Malcolm X's formality, Barack Obama's collegiate 'fro and Johnny Carson's panache. The result was (and remains) a very good thing.
|ALL The Past
Some things make you want to be a better man. Other things remind you that you already are one—like this ad for Drummond Sweaters, which ran in a 1959 issue of Esquire. Here's why you should buy one: genuine bone buttons, hand-fashioned, and there's no need to haul a woman up a cliff just to show off your Drummond because these pullovers look great on any level. After all, women are useful indoors—even pleasant. But on a mountain they're something of a drag.
Indeed, it's a comfort to know we've become better men.
|ALL The Past
You won't be needing your winter coat anytime soon.
So now's the time of year when we usually throw all our sweaters and tweedery into a ventilated box under our bed, and bring out the linen shirts and tees. But as you might expect, it can get a little musty in there, so you've got some cleaning to do. Don't worry; it's simpler than you think. After the fold, we've got three places to focus, to make sure you finish off the month as crisp as you started it.

Saratoga County
COLUMBIA COUNTY, N.Y. -- An elderly man was killed after Columbia County Sheriff's deputies say he drove off of the road and into trees. It happened around 7 a.m. Friday on State Route 9, near the intersection with Oakleaf Drive in the Town of Stuyvesant.
Deputies say they found Kenneth Oelkers, 87, of Kinderhook at the scene.
According to deputies, Oelkers had been traveling northbound on Route 9 and went off of the road. Deputies say there were no other vehicles involved and Oelkers was wearing his seatbelt.
The crash is under investigation and investigators are looking into the possibility that a medical problem may have been a contributing factor.

Click here for F-One Bandit dos Review
The Delta C-shape is a concept developed and patented by F-One that has proved reliable in all disciplines and for all levels of kiting. F-One believe it's the solution for all types of riders for one clear choice, combining strong features such as safety, performance, wind-range, auto-relaunch, simplicity of set-up and unhooked riding without any compromise.
The kite's new key elements include: lighter and faster big sizes, instant low-end power, more C-shaped turning, rock solid construction, increased upwind and speed performance, maximum depower with a shorter depower rope, lighter bar feeling with confident, direct steering and better control of the profile and shape in high wind ranges.
We couldn't argue with them in our recent test. Check it out in issue #35 or order online.

Trash collection is a mandatory service in Santa Maria. You may start all your City services simultaneously by visiting (a signature is required) the Santa Maria Department of Administrative Services at City Hall, 110 East Cook Street, Room 6.
Starting and Discontinuing Service
The City of Santa Maria Utilities Department picks up trash at residential addresses one time a week. Please have your containers at the curb before 6:30 a.m. on your collection day. Recycling containers are serviced every other week, opposite of your green waste collection week. Recycling containers have blue lids, and green waste containers have brown lids. Recycling and green waste will never be serviced in the same week. If you are not sure of your trash day, recycle week, or green waste week, contact the City of Santa Maria by telephone at extension 7270 or by e-mailing us utilizing the Send A Message button at the top of this screen and providing us with your location.
Residents may call the Utilities Department at 925-0951 ext. 7270 for information about which week their service falls on.
2014 Collection Schedule
(English and Spanish)
Collection Rate Schedule
Click for list
Curbside recycle collection is a voluntary, no-charge service in Santa Maria. You may start your recycling curbside service when you start your trash service. Or, if you are already a trash customer, you may start recycling by calling extension 7270 or by utilizing the Send A Message button at the top of this screen.
Please have your recycle (blue-lid) container at the curb before 6:30 a.m. on your recycle day. Schedule is based on your trash collection day - every other week. To confirm your recycling schedule, you may request the schedule by clicking on the "Send A Message" button at the top of this page.
Listen to our 30-second recycling commercial!
More than 94 percent of Santa Maria residents are now participating in the
City's state-of-the-art curbside recycling program - and City officials hope
to increase that number to 100 percent.
There is no additional charge for recycling services within the City of Santa Maria and by recycling household items, customers can reduce their
utility bills up to $3.25 each month. That's because when you divert recyclables to your free recycling container, you reduce the need for space in your waste container. This can result in
downsizing your waste container from a 90-gallon size to a more cost-effective 60-gallon size.
Follow these simple steps to cost savings and a cleaner community:
Here's what to recycle:
Please remember, contamination of a recycling container results in extra services to haul away as trash. Therefore, you may be billed as an extra haul.
Textile Reuse Program Helps the Community and the City Landfill
Every year Santa Barbara County residents throw away more than 11 million pounds of usable clothing and household textiles into very limited local landfill space.
Clothing, bedding, belts, shoes, towels, and soft toys - virtually anything made from fabric - can get a second lease on life. They can be reused for people in need within the community. Textile recycling companies around the country work closely with thrift stores and charitable institutions to find new homes and uses for old clothing and fabric items that cannot be sold, freeing up clothing for those less fortunate.
Every bit of clothing counts! Clothing with missing buttons, zippers, and holes can be reused for rags that are sold to help pay local workers and to fund the expense of transporting usable clothing. Donate to local thrift stores or bring used clothing to the Utilities Department drop site at the landfill. For more information, call the City of Santa Maria Utilities Department at 925-0951, ext. 7270.
Funding provided by a Grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board. Zero Waste - You Make It Happen!"

Do you have common household hazardous wastes that need to be disposed of?
Not sure what is toxic? Call and our friendly staff will assist you at 925-0951, ext. 7270.
Listen to Hazardous Waste Public Service Announcement
Residents may simply bring their unwanted waste to the facility, located at the Landfill, 2065 E. Main Street. Upon arrival, they'll see 5,000-square-foot metal canopy providing cover, where trained Utilities staff will help unload their household hazardous waste. Load limits are five gallons or 50 pounds.
The Utilities Department has constructed an expanded Household Hazardous Waste Facility with a 5,000-square-foot metal canopy cover to ensure proper coverage of all disposed waste. The expansion also includes lighting modifications and asphalt paving. This expansion results in a convenient, all-weather location for disposal of common household hazardous materials to better serve the community.
The facility is open every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
What are Household Hazardous Wastes?
Household Hazardous Wastes are materials commonly used in and around residential households that contain harmful toxic substances.
Some examples:
Paints and paint thinners, pesticides, oil and fuel additives, starter fluids, photo processing chemicals, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs, computers, and more. Batteries accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility include AAA, AA, C, D, button cell, 9-volt, and all others, both rechargeable and single use. This also includes lead-acid batteries such as car batteries and lithium batteries. For a comprehensive list of Household Hazardous Wastes, see California Integrated Waste Management Board's list of Wastes Banned from the Trash.
Why is it important to keep Household Hazardous Wastes out of landfills?
State law mandates it is illegal for landfills to accept Household Hazardous Wastes. It is crucial that we keep these toxins out of our landfills where they can affect water quality and protect our environment.
What else can you do?
In order to reduce the amount of waste needing special treatment, try to only purchase what you really need! To find the motor oil donation center nearest to you, call the County of Santa Barbara at (805) 882-3615.
With a $200,000 grant from the California Integrated Waste Management Board and additional funds provided by the City of Santa Maria, the Department of Utilities has been able to extend facility hours and revamp the former facility.

Not a snowmobile helmet?
By Commuter
from Long Island, New York
Best Uses
Comments about GMAX GM54S Solid Modular Snowmobile Helmet:
I got a graphic model, blacl and silver, sale price from Bike Bandit.Mine doesn't have a double face shield, I think that's a mistake in the catalog, it has a face shield and an adjustable inner sun shield with dark gray tint. The cloth chin cover keeps my chin warmer when it's cool, it's probably as removable as the rest of the liner when it's hot.The electric portion of the helmet is the red LED at the rear. The face shield is not wired or powered. The rear LED has 4 settings: Off, solid, fast blink, slow blink. I haven't used it yet, I ride mostly at night but I'm afraid of giving cretins something to shoot at. The LED might help as a hazard warning I could put upstream of the bike if it broke down in a bad place. If I had an accident lawyers might make an issue if I wasn't using the LED just because I could have.Some of the vents don't have shutters, another reason why it's likely not a hard core snow helmet but a good road bike helmet. Face shield fogged a little at the bottom but stayed clear especially if cracked open. Fit is nice.I like the snap that holds the loose end of the chin strap, my old helmet didn't have it. The sun shield stays where I put it so halfway down is ok. It might be hard to see if you're going in and out of shadows, better to grin and bear the sun glare (which you can do by sliding the tint part up with one hand, while riding).I like it overall and it's got the features of a higher-end helmet. I had an unintended off-road event using my old helmet while riding into a sunrise, don't expect the sun shield to fix everything, sometimes you just have to stop and wait for the sun to go down or higher. Nice to have a new helmet anyway.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

At our elementary school, last week was what they called, "Red Ribbon Week". Each day, they were told to wear certain colors or hat to represent a drug-free week. On Friday, my son, who is in second grade came home with a contract he had signed an agreement not to use tabaco or alcohol. My son does not even know what "alcohol" is. I was a bit bothered that my son was told in school, in 2nd grade, what alcohol is. I can understand presenting this at the fifth grade level, before kids go into middle school, but second grade?
Would this bother any of you? At what grade level do you think it is appropriate to bring up this topic? Does anyone feel that parents should be told or even asked to sign a permission paper ahead of time if they want their child to be told about drugs and alcohol?
Maybe it is just me, but I was surprised.

Kate Chadbourne collaborated with a fine host of musicians to produce a CD telling the story of Étaín through music. Kate chose the story, wrote the lyrics, and sang them on the CD. She also provided extensive liner notes to help listeners understand the tale. Tim Janis composed the music and played synthesizer, Mary Kennedy played flute and piccolo, and Bethe Hagens played fiddle. The four of them, with the help of other musicians, particularly David Surrette, have created a magical, musical retelling of this ancient Irish story.

North Dakota EPSCoR state conference scheduled
The North Dakota Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research's 2012 state conference is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 18, at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, N.D.
The meeting is being held jointly with a convocation, titled "Beginnings, Breakthroughs and Beautiful Ideas," to showcase undergraduate research in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, commonly known as STEM, as well as non-STEM areas. The conference provides opportunities for interactions between university faculty, students, business and governmental leaders. A poster session for undergraduate and graduate STEM students will be held along with oral presentation and posters from undergraduate students in other disciplines.

Centre for Civil Society
Empowering consumers, families and communities
We bring people
together in each federal electorate (150
electorates around Australia) to work locally in engaging
our communities and our representatives in an agenda of
empowerment of ordinary people and strengthening of civil
CLICK HERE to join us.
"The Left and Right have been as bad as each other. The Left has
allowed its distrust of markets and endless faith in government
to obscure the importance of civil society. The Right has been
so focused on replacing the state with markets that it has
forgotten how to cultivate a trusting society.
This is the politics of the absurd. The Left identifies with the
good society but rarely talks about the mutualism and trust
between people. The Right recognises the importance of moral
obligation but gives the impression of trusting market
transactions more than civil society.
Few things seem to happen anymore
without a government law or market transaction to guide
them. This is how record levels of GDP in Australia now sit
alongside record levels of crime, social stress and family
breakdown. The political balance needs to swing back towards
civil society.
This task, in fact, requires a new type of politics."

Health care delivery is highly fragmented, with little continuity of care across program, service and practitioner types, and few incentives for the industry to become consumer-focussed.
There is little or no financial incentive for providers to keep people well and out of their surgeries or hospitals. On the contrary, most of the financial incentives reward
repeat business with unwell patients.
Consumers have little market-based power in access and pricing of services. There are insufficient means for consumers to substitute one care regime for a better and more price-effective regime.
Consumers have little access to brokerage services which purchase services on their behalf and negotiate over price and service quality.
Private insurance is divorced from any active role in the management and delivery of health care, meaning it cannot operate in a cost-effective way without substantial public subsidy and is therefore
The supply of medical and other health practitioners is artificially restricted by professional vested interests who wield excessive influence over public policy.
People Power stands for
People Power will
Consolidate all existing commonwealth and state health funding programs in a consumer-based funding entitlement (
the Patient Health Funding Entitlement) allocated to a consumer's
nominated agent. The agent may be a health fund, a community health centre, a consumer co-operative, a for-profit financial agent, or any other entity which has a capacity to aggregate member
enrolments, manage their financial entitlements, enter contractual arrangements on their behalf, and manage consumers' health care relationships to the satisfaction of the enrolled consumer. Agents
would be permitted to contract with providers and practitioners in developing price and service quality arrangements for their enrollees and would be free to develop packages of care, innovations in
care planning and information management, home-care supports, and ancillary benefits for their pool of consumers. Consumers would be free to select their preferred agent, and to transfer from one to
another annually.
Ensure that this consolidated
Patient Health Funding Entitlement
(PHFE) is risk adjusted by factors of age, sex and health status in such a way that agents will compete to
attract patients with chronic and complex conditions, with additional financial incentives for achieving specified health outcomes. The PHFE would consolidate MBS, PBS, commonwealth and state
programs, and commonwealth payments to the states for public hospitals.
Require in turn that consumer agents in receipt of PHFEs meet the full health costs of their enrolled consumers including primary medical care, in-patient and out-patient
hospital services, pharmaceutical services, and domiciliary care.
Require all health services currently funded by commonwealth and state governments to develop episode-of-care costing schedules to enable consumer agents to purchase services on
a competitive basis.
Begin the process of introducing consumer agents into the health system by introducing an immediate incentive payment of $100 to consumer agents for each enrolled consumer who
'opts in' and enrolls with an agent. Enrolment with an agent will authorize the agent to receive consolidated health funding entitlements and to begin the process of demand aggregation and
brokerage. Existing arrangements will apply to consumers who choose not to 'opt in'.
Encourage the development of consumer agents specializing in mental health who would leverage more co-ordinated services with an emphasis on early intervention to arrest the
epidemic of mental illness in Australia.
Encourage the development of consumer agents specializing in family and early childhood health who would leverage more co-ordinated services with an emphasis on early childhood
Allow consumer agents in receipt of PHFE funds to adopt their own schedule of consumer payments as they see fit, including membership fees, co-payments, and insurance tables.
Insurers in receipt of PHFE funds would be exempt from community rating regulations for PHFE patients, allowing them to differentiate their pricing in insurance products based on consumer behaviour
and lifestyle, and allowing the introduction of behaviour and outcome related rebates and bonuses as incentives for members to self-manage their own health risks. Those insurers not in receipt of PHFE
funds would remain bound by the community rating regime.
Support the establishment of an independent
Consumer Health Information Service
to provide comparative online price and service quality data on consumer agents, hospital and
health services, practitioners, and health insurers.
Remove all restrictions on the supply of doctors and other health practitioners. To relieve the acute shortages of general practitioners and medical specialists, universities
should be permitted to set their own fees for medical training and determine the size of their intake. Restrictions on entry of overseas-trained doctors and the onerous requirements placed on them to
receive permission to practice in Australia should be eased.
Remove all regulatory restrictions on the capacity of consumer agents to contract with or directly employ medical, dental and pharmacy practitioners, along with all restrictions
on the capacity to own hospitals, medical or dental practices or pharmacies.
Enable hospitals and other health services which are state owned to voluntarily transfer their leadership and management to non-government entities (foundations, community
organizations, practitioner entities, consumer entities). Following a ten year probationary period under such arrangements, ownership may be transferred to these non-government, not-for-profit bodies.

This thing is invaluable. No air hose to drag around, good torque, small foot print, and compatible with the batteries for my drill and 1/2 drive impact. If you're looking for something to speed along projects, big and small, this is it.

I got this to rebuild a truck engine. I have a 1/2 drive impact also, but for this rebuild project that was more than what was needed. This impact wrench performed great and was able to disassemble and rebuild the engine in 3 days.

First job for this was the 10 bolts on rear differential. You would think, being such small bolts. However, no go. Couldn't even budge them. Had to loosen them all with a wratchet. About all this did was help get bolts out quicker once I had loosened them by hand. Second job was to replace rear break pads. Couldn't break lugs loose. Again, only useful to quickly back off lugs after loosened by hand.

Like the ability to have a small impact without the air house. Have used the 1/2" model for years. Bought the 3/8" for lower torque jobs.
via sears.com
Size of battery is too large and creates a bulky feel. Serves okay for light duty purposes.

This is a great wrench kit! I used it to install running boards on my pick-up and it worked great! This wrench removed the body bolts without any problem! Very nice wrench for the price!

Note: On December 14 HRchitect conducted its traditional year-end WebMingle. Matt Lafata (President), Ron Hanscome (VP HCM Systems Strategy Consulting) and John Hinojos (VP Consulting Services) spent a lively hour discussing major HCM technology events that occurred in 2011 versus what we predicted last December, and delivered a fresh set of predictions for 2012. Part 1 reviewed major events of 2011 and how our predictions panned out. This post will cover what we expect will happen in 2012, and Part 3 will discuss what it all means for companies looking to invest in HCM technology solutions over the next 12 months.
Economics and Demographics – Critical Issues for 2012
- Last year began with signs of economic recovery, which triggered a lot of spending on HCM technology, as organizations released budget to address some long-deferred investments. However, we saw a slowing of activity during the summer, due in our opinion to uncertainty about the strength of the recovery and some concerns over a double-dip recession combined with the normal vacation season slowdown. Activity picked up again somewhat as we moved into autumn, and it appears that many organizations are planning for strategy, evaluation/selection, and implementation projects for HCM technology in the first half of 2012.
- Mixed messages about the economy (e.g., better housing and manufacturing data versus concerns over country debt levels in the European Union and the need for a longer-term solution there) may lead to spending reductions in the last half of 2012, as firms may choose to ratchet back spending if there are too many warning signs.
- There is lingering impact from the economic downturn that began in 2008 – many "Baby Boomer" workers are postponing their retirement plans, and now plan to stay working for the foreseeable future. This means that there is significant participation of three generations in the workforce, with a fourth now beginning to enter.
- Having four generations in the workplace will definitely strain HCM processes and technologies for most organizations, as each generation has different perceptions, expectations, and needs. The biggest gap will likely be from "digital natives" who want to leverage their social networks as a part of their job, perform HR processes on their mobile devices, and demand a leading-edge user experience throughout.
Trends to Watch in 2012
- The overall Human Capital Management software market will continue to consolidate, but at a slower pace – there has been so much activity in 2010 and 2011 that the pace has to slow down somewhat, as there are fewer attractive targets left standing, and vendors have to pause and digest their purchases. We believe that further acquisition activity in 2012 will focus on ITM suite vendors "rounding out" their solutions by purchasing point solution vendors. The pace of acquisition could remain (or even accelerate) if the economy takes another hit, resulting in smaller privately-held vendors becoming distressed properties at attractive prices.
- Marketing and development efforts around ITM suites will continue, but shift focus – vendors did a great deal of "missionary" marketing in 2009-11 to educate potential customers on the value of ITM. That work has paid off, as most buyers now have a fundamental understanding of ITM. We believe that vendor marketing over the next few years will focus on showing the market how leading-edge capabilities (e.g., social, mobile, communication/collaboration, analytics) can add value to core ITM processes.
- Niche and ITM suite vendors will maintain their feature/function lead – much like 2011, we expect the gap to generally remain constant during the year. Vendors will invest in improving the overall user experience of their applications, as this is increasingly a critical success factor for end user adoption. Another general area of investment focus will be support of more sophisticated metrics and analytics. We also expect to see more attention paid to working with customers to enable better support of workforce planning.
- ITM vendors will increase their investment in social, communication & collaboration capabilities – after several years of marketing hype and frenzy, solid proof points of value emerged in 2011, even though large-scale end user adoption has lagged behind the buzz to a considerable extent. Recruiting will continue to lead the ITM functions in adoption with social sourcing and candidate relationship management, but the incorporation of collaboration capability into performance management (performance "notes" and multi-rater feedback), career development/ succession planning (community feedback on strengths/opportunities), and learning(tracking informal learning events) should all see increased usage in 2012.
- Mobile enablement of ITM processes has become the next frontier of marketing and end-user adoption – after a year of tremendous hype around mobile (particularly focused around the manager role) highlighted by the release of Workday and PeopleFluent iPad apps in Q311, we believe that 2012 will be the year of execution. We expect to see some effective pilots as well as larger scale implementations by the end of the year. Many vendors are choosing the cross-platform approach of utilizing HTML 5 over supporting specific mobile platforms; this will increase their ability to efficiently roll out mobile apps, with the downside of not being able to leverage each platform's specific user experience functions.
- Organizations will continue to try to rationalize their application portfolio by implementing ITM suites – the trend in 2010-11 was that the vast majority of organizations strategically embrace the ITM suite concept; however, actual suite purchases lagged due to the lack of a fully integrated set of equally functional applications. In the end, organizations (particularly in the enterprise market) are less willing to 'trade off' functionality in one component of ITM for the sake of integration. Market consolidation of ITM suite vendors and concrete plans for integrating acquired functionality should increase the average number of modules purchased per ITM suite in 2012.
- SaaS has become the preferred method for ITM deployments – although some organizations (less than 2011) still want the option of on-premise deployment, we expect that over 75% of ITM deployments will utilize some form of SaaS in 2012.
- The linkage between Performance, Learning, Succession and Career Development is increasing in importance for ITM – the change to this area for 2012 has to do with the growing need for robust career development/planning processes in many industry segments; this function also needs to leverage the rich data contained in a centralized talent profile. All four of these functions will feed the talent profile, and help drive "Talent Review" or "Talent Pipeline Planning" processes.
- Organizations are increasingly trying to satisfy multiple types of recruiting with a single solution – this trend continues from 2011, especially in the desire to unify professional and hourly recruiting onto a single solution. We also expect some leading firms to include the contingent workforce in their definition of a holistic recruiting solution, due to their desire to use their contingent workers as a potential talent pool.
- Talent Profile data (including competencies) has become the centerpiece of ITM – we expect to see more organizations deploying a centralized talent profile in 2012. As well, there will be a continued expansion of data beyond traditional skill / competency information to include such elements as career and geographic preferences, education, work experience, performance / potential ratings, and performance review results. The robustness of the talent profile has now become one of the critical factors driving selection of ITM Suites as we move into 2012.
- The quality of vendor service and support remain the key to long-term customer satisfaction – solution feature/function and cost are weighted very heavily in ITM selection projects. However, wonderful inexpensive capabilities are of limited value if you are not able to partner effectively with your solution provider. The quality of the vendor's service and support must be factored appropriately into any ITM selection project. Customer panel discussions throughout 2011 indicated that this area needs to be improved to meet expectations; it remains to be seen whether ITM vendors will make the long-term investment needed.
Stay tuned for Part 3, which will discuss the implications for any organization looking to purchase and implement ITM technology in 2012. You may also access the full audio replay of the WebMingle here.

Parental Influence on Teenage Drinking
A new study has found that adolescents with parents who require some accountability from their teenagers and are also warm and nurturing have a significantly lower incidence of binge drinking. Parenting style had no effect on whether a teenager tried alcohol but did affect whether the teenager went on to heavy drinking.

If you'd like to receive future Kroll Global Fraud Reports on a no-charge basis, subscribe.
This seventh edition of the Kroll Global Fraud Report was prepared in cooperation with the Economist Intelligence Unit. Following a decrease in 2012, fraud is on the rise again, and so are the costs involved in managing it. These factors are in turn driving up companies' sense of vulnerability. Every kind of fraud covered in this year's survey saw an increase in incidence, with vendor, supplier or procurement fraud and management conflict of interest seeing the biggest growth.
This sixth edition of Kroll Advisory Solutions' Global Fraud Report, prepared in cooperation with the Economist Intelligence Unit, provides both heartening and sobering news for businesses around the world.
Fraud concerns globally increase sharply, according to the Fall 2011 Global Fraud Report, featuring the Annual Global Fraud Survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
This issue of the Global Fraud Report analyses the impact of fraud, regulation and compliance on business operations and strategy. We also discuss best practice approach to managing fraud and regulatory risk across a variety of markets, and the importance of treating compliance as a tool to building a profitable company.
We take a closer look at the issues that Kroll is most frequently asked to investigate, and the variations in the nature of the threat across different regions.
