Facebook is continuing to shed U.S. visitors…
"A recent report from analyst firm ComScore said that unique U.S. visitors to Facebook (FB) dropped slightly in May compared with April and March. But an analysis of additional ComScore data suggests that the slowdown could be more significant and longer lasting. Falling traffic could be a concern to investors, who justify Facebook's high market value by pointing to its growth potential." Read More Here.

I promise I won't post this whole darn book to the Blog but I have to share one more bit from Rodney Stark's The Victory of Reason: How Christianity Led to Freedom, Capitalism, and Western Success.
In contemplating the eventual collapse of the U.S. Empire even those who are against the Empire dread the aftermath. Won't America, at the very least, plunge into a Dark Ages? After all, isn't that what happened after Rome fell? Stark says no. Could his description of the end of the Roman Empire be our future history?
…when the breakup of the Roman Empire 'released the tax-paying millions… from a paralysing oppression,' many new technologies began to appear, and were rapidly and widely adopted, with the result that ordinary people were able to live far better, and after centuries of decline under Rome, the population began to grow again. No longer were the productive classes bled to sustain the astonishing excesses of the Roman elite, or to erect massive monuments to imperial egos, or to support vast armies to hold Rome's many colonies in thrall. Instead, human effort and ingenuity turned to better ways to farm, to sail, to transport goods, to build churches, to make war, to educate, and even to play music. But because, so many centuries later, examples of classical Greek and Roman public grandeur still stand as remarkable ruins, many intellectuals have been prompted to mourn the loss of these "great civilizations." (36)
In many respects, the fall of Rome involved the collapse of a city, not of a civilization. …Although urban populations declined in some other parts of Europe also, in Italy the losses were moderate in most cities and were soon made up… It is, of course, true that, along with the decline of the city of Rome, the empire broke into many pieces. But that was tragic only if one admires profligate rulers, literary Latin, and the pursuits of the idle rich. (36)
…That invention flourished in the aftermath of the fall of Rome demonstrates the principle that despotic states discourage and even prevent progress. (37)
Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Dark Ages was the creation of the first economies that depended primarily on nonhuman power.
The Romans understood water power but could see no reason to exploit it, because there was no shortage of slaves to do needed tasks. (38)
So the end of the U.S. Empire could very well mean not some kind of post-Apocalyptic nightmare but simply the end of all those artificial aspects of America that are propped up by the State: Washington, DC, military bases all over the world, defense contractors, the overly large and centralized United States, etc. This is the most hopeful thing I've read in years. I'll have to write this up for the front page.12:09 pm on May 19, 2006 Email Stephen W. Carson

Best Actress Oscar nominees Diane Lane and Julianne Moore aren't resting on their laurels. Both are hooking up with A-list leading men, in movie deals announced this week. Lane is in talks to join Bruce Willis in the amnesiac thriller ''Me Again,'' Variety reports. According to the Hollywood Reporter, double nominee Moore will be bonding with Pierce Brosnan in the romantic comedy ''Laws of Attraction.''
Nominated for ''Unfaithful,'' Lane would costar with Willis in his long-in-development thriller about a man who wakes up alongside a dead body in a hotel room and can't remember whether he's the hitman or the cop chasing the hitman. Moore, who's up for Best Actress for ''Far From Heaven'' and Best Supporting Actress for ''The Hours,'' is negotiating to join Brosnan in a comedy about married divorce lawyers who clash in and out of court. ''Attraction'' is scheduled to shoot this summer in Ireland and New York; no word on when Lane might get to enjoy face time with Willis.

By Sam Walker on September 24, 2013
Investigators say that up to four men planned a home invasion in Currituck County last week that targeted a safe in an elderly woman's residence.
Sheriff Susan Johnson said two men broke into the back window of the home on Mallard Court in the Waterview Shores neighborhood in Grandy around 1 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 19.
Johnson said the burglars, one armed with a handgun, appear to have known exactly what they wanted.
"This was not random . . . they were after the contents of a large safe in the house," Johnson said.
"The woman was so shaken at the time, she couldn't remember the combination of the safe."
The men tried unsuccessfully to cut into it, then failed to move the 400-pound safe with a dolly.
Johnson said it's believed at least two accomplices waited outside as a lookouts.
"They were probably in the home for a little over two hours, and she convinced them that if they didn't hurt her she would get them some money from the bank," the next morning, Johnson.
The next morning, the woman attempted to withdraw a large sum of cash from a nearby bank. Suspicious tellers alerted the sheriff's office.
The suspects were white males, wearing masks, heavy coats and gloves, according to Johnson.
"One appeared to be about 5 feet 11 inches tall, the other was between 5 feet 2 and 5 feet 4 inches tall," Johnson said.
Johnson added that one appeared to be thinner than the other, but the woman was not sure because of the coats they were wearing.
The men told the victim to leave the money by a dumpster between the Food Lion and Family Dollar at the Currituck Commons Shopping Center.
"Anyone who may have seen someone sitting in a vehicle between the hours of 8 and 10 a.m on Thursday (Sept. 19) should contact our department at 252.453.8204," Johnson said.
Deputies staked out the location for several hours after they were alerted to the incident, but saw no one approach the dumpsters, according to Johnson.

I really like this series of photos of Palm Springs homes. Lots of unusual decorations and home designs amidst a rather normal looking landscape. Yes, the sun is always shining here.

Latest update:
During August, the Gateway Project will be progressing apace. This means that for about three weeks from 19 August the remaining part of the Cathedral will be effectively closed on weekdays, as the new lighting installation is put into St George's Chapel and the Burrows Transept. During this period, all the weekday services will take place in the Chapter House. Unfortunately, during this period there will be no access for people who cannot manage steps. We hope that there will still be public access to the small lobby at the entrance to Old St George's Chapel, so that you can see what is happening. We expect the work to be finished before the Choir return from holiday at the beginning of September. Sunday worship will still be taking place in St George's Chapel. We apologise for any inconvience this may cause and thank you for your co operation during this time.
Imagine a bright, welcoming building, in which school children are busy on projects, a stage is being set up for a concert, quiet prayer is happening in a chapel where candles burn, and people are arriving for a service of Holy Communion.
On 18 February 2013 Sheffield Cathedral embarked on the building phase of a project that will enable this vision to become a reality. By early summer 2014, God willing, the Cathedral will have been transformed into a prayerful, visionary, and flexible space, serving our region and diocese in imaginative ways and fully accessible to all.
The Gateway Project is the name the Cathedral Chapter has given to the project. The name comes from a story in the book of Genesis in the Bible. In the story Jacob dreams about a ladder between heaven and earth, and receives a promise of God's commitment to him and his descendants. When he wakes up, he exclaims, 'This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.' We want Sheffield Cathedral to be a place where worshippers and visitors get a glimpse of heaven.
The Gateway Project, when completed, will renew the interior of the Cathedral. It has two main elements:
Our Cathedral Architect, Clive England, working with a highly qualified team of advisers and consultants, has drawn up plans for all this and our contractors, William Anelay Ltd of York, have now begun work to make the plans a reality. When the work is completed, we are confident that Sheffield Cathedral will be better equipped to play its role in the life of Sheffield as a place for all people.
We have secured major grants from the Sheffield Church Burgesses Trust and the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Gateway Project, but we are still interested in exploring other ideas for funding. If you would like to help, or would like more information, please contact the Dean.

Assange & Žižek in conversation
Posted by m1k3y on July 19th, 2011 in censorship, rage against the machine
This conversation is great, and not just because it's revealed Žižek watched the last season of 24 for the same reasons and reached the same conclusions as I did (more on that later.) But amongst everything else to also hear them talk about the power of Murdoch's "Evil Empire", News International; an Evil Empire that now seems to be having it's Berlin Wall moment just two weeks later. What previously unquestioned certainty will be under question in another two weeks?

Philip Morris International Supports WHO's Latest Effort To Fight Illegal Trade Of Tobacco
Philip Morris International Inc.'s (PMI) (NYSE:PM) (Paris:PM) Vice President of Communications Peter Nixon issued the following statement today applauding the World Health Organization for passing the first international protocol to fight the illegal trade of tobacco and reconfirming the company's support for the measure.
"With sales estimated at more than 600 billion cigarettes a year – more than one in every 10 consumed – all black market tobacco products combined make up the third largest tobacco supplier in the world.
"While the passage of this protocol is not the silver bullet to resolving this serious issue, it is a step toward addressing a problem that not only harms governments but fuels organized crime and terrorism.
"The long term solution to this challenge lies in governments implementing effective policies and providing sufficient enforcement resources to disrupt the global illegal supply chain through which these unlawful products are manufactured, transported and sold. In addition, preventative measures not covered under today's agreement, such as regulating the essential materials used to produce tobacco products, should be considered by governments in the national implementation of this protocol."For more information regarding the problem of illicit tobacco trade visit http://www.pmi.com/eng/tobacco_regulation/illicit_trade/pages/illicit_trade.aspx. Philip Morris International Inc. Profile Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) is the leading international tobacco company, with seven of the world's top 15 international brands, including Marlboro, the number one cigarette brand worldwide. PMI's products are sold in approximately 180 countries. In 2011, the company held an estimated 16.0% share of the total international cigarette market outside of the U.S., or 28.1% excluding the People's Republic of China and the U.S. For more information, see www.pmi.com.

Giants Join Forces
Novo Nordisk, the world's largest insulin producer, and LifeScan, Inc., the leading maker of blood glucose monitoring systems, have announced a worldwide alliance to enhance diabetes management solutions.
Under the agreement, the companies will work together to bring two complimentary product lines to people with diabetes-Novo Nordisk's insulin products and future oral hypoglycemic agents, and LifeScan's blood glucose meters. The details of the union will be determined on a country-by-country basis.
"By jointly marketing with Novo Nordisk," says LifeScan president Richard Wiesner, "we will be able to benefit from each other's strengths in providing people with diabetes and health professionals with simple, accessible solutions to their diabetes management needs."
LifeScan, an American company, brings extensive knowledge of the U.S. blood glucose monitoring market to the partnership. Novo Nordisk's experience in other countries, especially Europe and Japan, will help LifeScan globalize its activities. The alliance will offer people a complete diabetes management option that stresses the combination of therapeutics and glucose monitors, as well as educational material, therapeutic guidelines, and compliance programs.
Says Mads Ovlisen, president and CEO of Novo Nordisk, "With the application of optimal treatment guidelines, which include the availability and correct use of drugs and blood glucose monitoring systems, quality of care will increase and costs decrease."Click Here To View Or Post Comments

Brake for the 2013 Bicycle Ride Across Tennessee (BRAT)
Do you remember when you got your first bicycle?
I still remember the shiny white bike my grandpa presented to me on my fifth birthday. It came equipped with training wheels so I rode up and down his gravel driveway endlessly until the big day came when I got the nod from my dad to take the trainers off.
Dad ran alongside holding me upright for a bit but finally turned me loose to wobble a bit and then – fly! Or so it seemed to me at the time. That little bike took me places that I remember fondly to this day.
I wasn't riding for physical fitness. I was riding for fun but it's nice to get both when you can.
One of my wife's gal pals Sarah Lovett regularly rides with her husband and biking buddies in and around Murfreesboro. A fun-loving biker who takes on long distance rides in various parts of the country, Sarah mentioned she'd be riding in the fall BRAT again this year. With a name like BRAT, I was naturally curious.
Turns out BRAT is shorthand for Bicycle Ride Across Tennessee and it's an event that's been going strong for more than two decades here in the Volunteer State. This year's fall ride is a seven-day excursion scheduled for Sept.14-21. It tours West Tennessee beginning at Meeman-Shelby State Park north of Memphis and visits several other Tennessee State Parks in the flat to rolling terrain between the Mississippi River and Kentucky Lake.
The idea is to have a relaxing, enjoyable week while riding about 70 miles per day for seven days in a row which leaves me out even if I hire one of the cycling support companies to pitch my tent and bring me hot coffee every morning.
So I called up David Drye, who's been riding at BRATs since the first one back in 1987 to find out more about this year's BRAT and what keeps riders like him and Sarah coming back.
He says BRAT is fun and very well organized. Registration takes care of just about everything except the pedaling; it includes baggage trucks, SAG wagon and a bike mechanic in case you or your bike needs help, camping spots, hot showers and most meals plus concerts and interpretive programs at night. At some sites, rooms in State Parks or neighboring towns are available for additional fees.
But it's probably as much about the life-long friends you meet as the roads you ride. And David should know. He met his wife years ago at her first BRAT.
But it's not always a couples kind of thing as he explained while telling the story of a fellow cyclist who was passionate about biking. His wife was passionate about horses. So he bought her a bike and she bought him a horse. David was laughing because they're still married but wound up selling his horse and her bike. I guess it just goes to show, you can lead a horse to water but you can't necessarily make a biker ride it there.
The first BRAT in 1987 had riders from 39 states. Some years the limit of riders was reached with waiting lists in case someone dropped out. Sometimes rides offer one and two-day options but the fall BRAT is all in for the full seven days.
Are you up for this year's BRAT? For details visit http://thebrat.org.

General Aviation advocates have been alarmed at the TSA's
continued mission creep into light aircraft, despite the fact that
terrorists don't appear interested in using them for attacks. Maybe
TSA just didn't think small enough. In Boston, US Attorney Carmen
Ortiz says a suspect has been charged with planning attacks on the
US Capitol and the Pentagon using radio-controlled model airplanes
filled with plastic explosives.
Rezwan Ferdaus is a 26-year-old US citizen who was arrested
after an undercover operation in which he allegedly worked with FBI
agents he thought were agents of al Qaeda. He has also been charged
with attempting to provide support and resources to al Qaeda to
carry out attacks on US soldiers overseas.
An FBI affidavit states, "Ferdaus, a Northeastern University
graduate with a degree in physics, began planning to commit a
violent "jihad" against the US in early 2010. He
obtained mobile phones, each of which he modified to act as an
electrical switch for an IED. He then supplied the phones to FBI
UCs, who he believed to be members of, or recruiters for, al
"According to the affidavit, Ferdaus believed that the devices
would be used to kill American soldiers overseas. During a June
2011 meeting, he appeared gratified when he was told that his first
phone detonation device had killed three US soldiers and injured
four or five others in Iraq. Ferdaus responded, 'That was exactly
what I wanted.'"
Regarding the model airplane phase of the threat, the FBI
stressed that actual explosives never left the possession of its
undercover agents.
A statement from the US Department of Justice suggests that
Ferdaus thought it would be possible to bomb the Pentagon with the
model planes, then take control of the facility with a few armed
individuals, crowd survivors of the attack into an ever-decreasing
space, and "dominate" them. Authorities say that in recorded
conversations, the suspect "envisioned causing a large
"psychological" impact by killing Americans, including
women and children, who he referred to as "enemies of
According to the affidavit, Ferdaus' desire to attack the
United States is so strong that he confided, "I just can't
stop; there is no other choice for me."
The DoJ says Ferdaus faces up to 15 years in prison on a charge
of material support and resources to a foreign terrorist
organization; up to 20 years in prison on a charge of attempting to
destroy national defense premises; and a five year minimum
mandatory term in prison and up to 20 years on a charge of
attempting to damage and destroy buildings that are owned by the
United States, by using an explosive. On each charge Ferdaus also
faces up to three years of supervised release and a $250,000
DoJ made a point of noting Ferdaus is considered innocent until
proven guilty in the courts, and that the arrest should not be used
as an excuse for any retaliatory violence against any religious or
ethnic group.

Shotgun hunting datesFederal lands now open for hunting
Next month, the Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex will for the first time allow hunting on federal conservation lands on Block Island.
Hunting will be allowed on the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge on Sandy Point and Beane Point by special permit only from January 21 to February 28, excluding weekends.
"We are thrilled to finally be able to provide deer hunting opportunities on refuge owned lands on the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge," said Deputy Refuge Manager Juancarlos Giese, "especially with this being the 75th anniversary of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR), which is administered by the service and is one of the most significant and successful approaches to fish and wildlife conservation in U.S. history."
During scheduled hunt days, the refuge will be closed to non-hunting visitors to ensure visitor safety.
Other huntable lands are not closed to walkers during hunting days. But don't forget to wear orange when you're out walking on hunting days. It's required for hunters themselves, and for anyone on state land — but it's a good idea for everyone.
Although it's a new development on Block Island, hunting on federal lands is not uncommon. More than 300 national refuges provide hunting opportunities to visitors. All national wildlife refuges in the state are open to fishing, and goose and dove hunting is also allowed on a portion of the Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge in South Kingstown.
Hunters seeking the special permits are available at www.rhodeislandpermits.com. For further information and questions, contact the refuge headquarters at 401-364-9124 x42 or visit the website at www.fws.gov/blockisland.
Deer hunting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset.
Hunting dates
January 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets (Incerto) The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms (Incerto) Thinking, Fast and Slow What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars (Columbia Business School Publishing) Editorial Reviews: SynopsisAntifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don't understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and The Bed of Procrustes.Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls "antifragile" is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call "efficient" not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.Praise for Antifragile "Ambitious and thought-provoking . . . highly entertaining."—The Economist "A bold book explaining how and why we should embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error . . . It may just change our lives."—Newsweek "Revelatory . . . [Taleb] pulls the reader along with the logic of a Socrates."—Chicago Tribune "Startling . . . richly crammed with insights, stories, fine phrases and intriguing asides . . . I will have to read it again. And again."—Matt Ridley, The Wall Street Journal "Trenchant and persuasive . . . Taleb's insatiable polymathic curiosity knows no bounds. . . . You finish the book feeling braver and uplifted."—New Statesman "Antifragility isn't just sound economic and political doctrine. It's also the key to a good life."—Fortune "At once thought-provoking and brilliant."—Los Angeles TimesFrom the Hardcover edition. Amazon.com ReviewAmazon Best Books of the Month, December 2012: Fragile things break under stress. But, according to Nassim Nicholas Taleb, there's an entire class of other things that don't simply resist stress but actually grow, strengthen, or otherwise gain from unforeseen and otherwise unwelcome stimuli. Taleb sees degrees of antifragility everywhere, from fasting, mythology, and urban planning to economic, technological, cultural, and biological systems. The wealth of radical thinking in this book astounds; the glossary alone offered more thought-provoking ideas than any other nonfiction book I read this year. That said, Antifragile is far from flawless. As comical as Taleb's rough handling of his favorite targets can be--academics, economists, and tourists, to name a few--his argumentative style boasts gaping holes, non sequiturs aplenty, and at times an almost willfully repugnant tone. Some readers will find Taleb's brashness off-putting; others will embrace it as a charismatic component of the ideas themselves. Either way, no one will finish this book unchanged. --Jason Kirk CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

The state auditor may properly honor a voucher submitted by a state department for interest on a delinquent OASI contribution.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
July 3, 1958
Honorable Cliff YelleState AuditorLegislative BuildingOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 57-58 No. 209
Dear Sir:
You have requested an opinion from this office on a question which we paraphrase as follows:
May the state auditor properly honor a voucher submitted by a state department for interest on a delinquent OASI contribution?
We answer your question in the affirmative.
We understand that a part of the payment is due for delinquent contributions governing state employees who are members of the state employees' retirement system and part is due for delinquent contributions covering state employees who are members of the teachers' retirement system.
The enabling statute (chapter 41.48 RCW) clearly contemplates that interest may be collected under the terms of the act. RCW 41.48.060 (1) creates an OASI contribution fund and requires that there shall be deposited in the fund [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] ". . . contributions, interest, and penalties collected under RCW 41.48.040 and 41.48.050; . . ." RCW 41.48.060 (3) provides that:
"(3) From the OASI contribution fund the custodian of the fund shall pay to the secretary of the treasury such amount and at such time or times as may be directed by the governor in accordance with any agreement entered into under RCW 41.48.030 and the social security act."
The social security act provides:
"(1) that the State will pay to the Secretary of the Treasury, at such time or times as the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare may by regulations prescribe, amounts equivalent to the sum of the taxes which would be imposed by sections 1400 and 1410 of Title 26 if the services of employees covered by the agreement constituted employment as defined in section 1426 of Title 26; and
"(2) that the State will comply with such regulations relating to payments and reports as the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare may prescribe to carry out the purposes of this section." (42 U.S.C.A. § 418, p. 368)
Pursuant to the above provisions the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare has adopted and promulgated rules and regulations specifying the dates on which reports and contributions must be made by the state.
The social security act further provides that interest shall be charged for payments not made when due. The provision reads as follows:
"(j) In case any State does not make, at the time or times due, the payments provided for under an agreement pursuant to this section, there shall be added, as part of the amounts due, interest at the rate of 6 per centum per annum from the date due until paid, and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare may, in his discretion, deduct such amounts plus interest from any amounts certified by him to the Secretary of the Treasury for payment to such State under any other provision of this chapter. . . ." (42 U.S.C.A. § 418, p. 370)
From the foregoing statutes it is readily apparent that the State of Washington may be assessed interest on contributions when such contributions are not paid to the Secretary of the Treasury on the dates required by the rules and [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] regulations of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. The only fund available for payment of such interest is the OASI contribution fund. If payment from that fund is not made, the federal government may deduct the amount of interest due from any funds allocated to the state from the federal government. Due to the nature of the OASI contribution fund, the state cannot make its contribution to the Secretary of the Treasury unless and until the state departments and other political subdivisions file their reports and pay their contributions to the OASI fund.
The question then becomes whether or not the interest charged against the state may be assessed and collected by the state from the state department or other political subdivision whose failure to make its report and contribution in the time provided caused the delay in the state's payment and caused interest to be assessed against the state.
RCW 41.48.050 (3) (a) authorizes the governor to carry out the state's obligation under 42 USCA § 418 (e) and (j) in the following language:
"Each political subdivision as to which a plan has been approved under this section shall pay into the contribution fund, with respect to wages (as defined in RCW 41.48.020), at such time or times as the governor may by regulation prescribe, contributions in the amounts and at the rates specified in the applicable agreement entered into by the governor under RCW 41.48.030."
While a state department is not a "political subdivision" in the strict legal sense, the statutes governing OASI expressly define the term as including ". . . an instrumentality of the state, . . ." RCW 41.48.020.
Pursuant to the duty imposed on the governor by the above provision and in accordance with RCW 41.48.090, the commissioner of the employment security department, acting under the authority delegated to him by the governor, has adopted and promulgated the following regulations setting out the dates reports are to be made and the penalties to be paid for failure to make a contribution on the date specified.
"Contributions and reports covering the same shall become due and be payable quarterly and shall reach the Employment Security Department, P.O. Box 367, Olympia, Washington, not later than the twentieth (20th) day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter for which such contributions have accrued. Payments received subsequent to such twentieth [[Orig. Op. Page 4]] (20th) day shall be subject to a declaration of delinquency and an added interest charge at the rate of one‑half of one per centum based on the amount of contributions found delinquent for each month or part thereof until paid. Each quarterly payment shall include contributions accrued upon all wages paid under this act during such quarter." (Emphasis supplied)
The general enabling act (chapter 41.48 RCW) further provides a method of recovering interest if it is not voluntarily paid. RCW 41.48.050 (4) reads as follows:
"Delinquent payments due under paragraph (a) of subsection (3) may, with interest at the rate of six percent per annum, be recovered by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the political subdivision liable therefor or may, at the request of the governor, be deducted from any other moneys payable to such subdivision by any department or agency of the state."
The only statutory provision which lends support to the theory that a state department is not subject to the payment of interest is contained in the acts relating to OASI for members of the state retirement system (chapter 41.41 RCW) and for members of the teachers' retirement system (chapter 41.33 RCW). The common provision reads as follows:
"If any political subdivision other than that comprising the state, its agencies, instrumentalities and institutions of higher learning fails to remit as provided herein employer contributions or employee contributions, or any part of either, such delinquent contributions may be recovered with interest at the rate of six percent per annum by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the political subdivision; or such delinquent contributions may at the request of the governor be deducted from any moneys payable to such subdivision by the state." (RCW 41.41.020 (9) and RCW 41.33.020 (8))
We do not interpret the exclusionary language of the above provision as indicating that the state is not subject to assessment of interest for delinquent payments. As previously noted, that provision itself is not the basis for the collection of interest; it merely provides the means by which an assessment for interest can be collected if not voluntarily paid. The obvious purpose of [[Orig. Op. Page 5]] excluding the departments of the state from the provision allowing collection by court proceeding is that the state need not sue itself to recover an interest assessment, while such a procedure may be necessary against a political subdivision having a separate and independent existence. The legislature could justifiably presume that a court action would not be necessary to collect interest from one of the departments of the state.
We conclude, therefore, that:
(1) The federal government may legally assess and collect interest against the State of Washington for failure to pay OASI contributions on the dates required by the regulations of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare;
(2) Our statutes and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto authorize the assessment and collection of interest when a department of the state fails to remit contributions on the date required by state regulations; and
(3) That a state department should voluntarily pay such interest and a voucher for the same may properly be honored by the state auditor.
We trust this information will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
JOHN J. O'CONNELLAttorney General

I haven't heard of many women that "like" to shave. From what I understand it causes irritation and itching unless you keep up on it. I prefer trimmed, and I enjoy a little hair down there. Makes it more interesting!

Nice top read a few chapters at a time. Don't read while hungry.
I think that I could appreciate this more if I were in a different place in my life.
Sometimes I think I'm in the minority with how comfortable I am eating alone, be it at home or in restaurants. But if the authors collected here are in fact a representative sample, I'm not alone--not even close. The essays here range from memories of the first restaurant meal taken solo to the joys of eating crackers over the kitchen sink, and as an anthology, it holds together surprisingly well. There's only one essay in here that I'd consider a dud, and that's mostly because it's written in this sanctimonious, pitying tone by someone who believes anyone who says they enjoy dining alone sometimes must be lying.
Many of the essays (probably about half) have recipes with them. I'm planning to photocopy several of these before returning the book to the library--impressive when so many of these authors are preparing foods Princess Pickypants (AKA, me) doesn't like. Pasta in a tomato cream sauce? Yes please. Italian-style grilled cheese and ham? Sign me up. There's an interesting-looking chili recipe, several ways of preparing black beans, and at least two versions of crispy potatoes I'll be trying soon. The down side of food writing: I've been hungry all weekend.
As an example of the humor that appears consistently throughout this collection, I present this paragraph, from Jeremy Jackson's "Beans and Me":
"Most beans are lowly, of course, but it seems to me that the pinto, the lentil, and the black bean are the lowliest of them all, and all the more charming because of it. Sometimes I picture these three beans holding hands and chiming together, 'We're lowly! We're of the earth! We're beans for the people!' And sometimes, when I envision this trio, the black-eyed pea waddles into view and says, 'Whaddabout me, guys?' and the pinto, the lentil, and the black bean say, 'Hiya, black-eyed pea! Get in here! We didn't forget you!' Then they all sing some kind of bean song."

US Ports 2nds vs. Portsmouth 3rds
What was possibly one of the hottest days of the year so far and some very impressive recent results by US Ports it looked to give an extra spice to the Portsmouth Derby. Portsmouth had come along with the regular players from the 2's when they don't have a game but also with Steve Clooney, Chris Wreyford, Ben Di Marco and Ian KIRBY returning to their old stomping grounds. Though Portsmouth had a trick up their sleeve with a bit of international flare.
The Game started with U.S kicking to Portsmouth. The first 10 minutes was the same as any normal game where both teams are testing the waters and trying to evaluate the opposition but it became obvious when the forwards began smashing, bashing and mashing anything that got in their way. With Portsmouth having a heavy scrum, which dominated the young U.S team in the sun with the likes of Billy Hutchinson, Ben Di-Marco and Chris Wreyford who disrupted play and pushed the scrum forward. The breakthrough came from a Line out when Steve CLUNIE found John Bolla who ran over his opposition number from 15 metres out to cross the line for the first score. Then U.S ports hit back with a cross in the corner from a missed tackle to bring them back into the game. This didn't last long as again John Bolla ran over the opposition to set up Big George Whiting to smash over the line for his first for the club. U.S ports started to come back into the game and had a few break out runs and notably a big forward running down the wing to only be stopped by Young James "Gus". Again it was the forwards who really pressured U.S and allowed the backs to play their game. It was again John Bolla who danced around the opposition and trailing Full Back to play around with the ball before placing it down for his second of the game. Towards the end of the half, Portsmouth started to turn the screw and take it to a struggling US Portsmouth. Big Bill Hutch picked up the ball from half way and bashed through 4 tackles only to be brought down by a high tackle which summed up the half. The half ended 21-5 to the away team.
The second half was a complete Blur for both sides as Portsmouth bought on the impact players in Ryan, Twilight, Minter and two Fijians. The game continued the way it ended and Portsmouth Dominated every second of the half. The shape of the game also changed and the play reflected a 7's game. The Fijian forward picked up the ball from half way and ran the pitch to dance and bosh players out of the way for a fantastic score. After more pressing play Chris NICHOLLS picked the ball up and powered over the line and within 5 minutes of that Chris Minter backed himself and made his moves to leave the tired and disorientated US Portsmouth team. The big Fijian forward linked well with his compatriot to leave a massive overlap for young Twilight to place down in the corner. The best score came when Ryan Hutchinson picked up the ball from a long kick to push and outpace the opposite team to score a wonderful try. This was possibly the best and most physical game Pompey have played all season and look forward to the other Rival match against Havant at Rugby camp this Saturday.
The score finished 66-5
Man of the match : Steve CLUNIE for getting Dumped tackled, then punched by someone smaller then him, not retaliating and then getting carded for it.

By chatting with Paro and stroking its soft fur, the residents were helped to relax and their stress was reduced. It is an unbearable moment for the residents when they are waiting for Paro to be charged (the high-end gadget can go only one and half hours with its internal battery)." Some days, I would like a Paro very badly.
