Clause 38 - Persons subject to immigration control
Tax Credits Bill
4:30 pm
Ms Karen Buck (Regent's Park and Kensington North, Labour)
I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Minister for her reassurance. This was very much a probing amendment, and I accept that we will have to look to the Home Secretary to find out whether the new provisions on asylum and immigration will allow us a little more latitude. I am especially grateful to her for drawing out a sub-group of people with particular difficulties.
I had a number of different illustrations, but shall be brief. I am grateful to the Child Poverty Action Group and I have been making representations on that point. We do need to address the matter in regulations, and there is some potential incompatibility between the tax credit legislation and section 115 of the 1999 Act. Depending on the time scale between this Bill being enacted and any new legislation being introduced, there will be a need to examine that incompatibility. I am grateful that the Minister is, in principle, sympathetic to the issue and on that basis I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 38 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Advising Information
Academic Advisors
Students majoring in the undergraduate and graduate Information Sciences and Technologies programs are assigned both an academic advisor, and a faculty advisor. The professional academic advisors guide students though the program's curriculum, helping them develop their academic plan. They do this by taking into consideration program requirements, pre-requisites, and course sequences and availability. They also help students by interpreting institutional policies, referring students to other resources on campus and discussing issues of concern regarding student's academic progress. Students are expected to be responsible for making their own decisions based on the information and advice their advisor offers. Frequent student-advisor contact is a proven factor in student success.
Please note: all first-year and transfer students are required to meet with their academic advisor in the fall semester. First-year students with a semester and/or cumulative GPA <2.0 will also be required to meet with their advisor in the spring semester as well.
Professonal Advisors:
- Matt Lake, Information Technology and Honors (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Betty Hillman, Networking and Systems Administration, and Medical Informatics (email@example.com)
- Jill Persson, IST Graduate Programs (email@example.com)
Scheduling Advising Appointments
The IST Office, located at Golisano Hall, room 2120, is open Monday-Friday, from 8:30 AM-4:30 PM. If you need to schedule an appointment with your advisor (for any reason), the most efficient way to do so is to contact the office at 585-475-2700 or by coming to the office in person and scheduling an appointment with the front office staff. Our advisors have very full schedules and emails sent directly to them asking "when can you meet?" cannot be answered in a timely manner and will result in delays. In an effort to avoid these delays you can only make appointments through our front office staff.
Please note that appointments will not be made for the same day. If you need a quick question answered that day, please come in during walk-in hours.
Walk-in Hours (no appointment necessary)
Walk-in appointments are for quick 10 minute or less questions. When you come in for a walk-in, the front office will ask why you need to see an advisor. This is to help assess if it is appropriate for a walk-in or if you need an appointment.
Walk-ins are held Monday-Friday from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
The advisors rotate open office hours during the week. The schedule of which advisors are on for which day of the week is posted in and outside the Student Services office. If you need a walk-in, and your assigned advisor is not scheduled, you may see the advisor assigned that day.
There are no office hours during the summer term.

Faculty Advisors
Faculty advisors are a resource for the 'big picture' questions for topics like:
- What should I take as my concentration if I want to work in field XYZ?
- I really liked course X, where can I go deeper into that?
- How can I get more coursework on topic ABC?
Your faculty advisor is someone that understands your curriculum from the perspective of the overall content, as well as their own particular content specialty. Students can often learn a great deal by incorporating their faculty advisor into their support structure: sometimes this is the formally 'assigned' faculty advisor, and other times simply a faculty member that students gravitate toward given their particular concentrations. Your faculty members are great resources for discussing career options, major specific electives, and co-op opportunities being a good 'fit.' Getting to know your faculty is very important; they have a wealth of knowledge that they love to share. You also never know when you will need a reference letter for a future job.

Sponsored by: Missoula Federal Credit Union
Nov 2, 2011 10:03 AM by Shane Ewing (KPAX Sports)
MISSOULA- More folks than ever are flocking to the Glacier Ice Rink to watch the Missoula Maulers hit the ice.
The hockey club has already sold 15% more tickets through their first four home games this season they did last year, when they went on to play for the America West championship.
The Maulers are 7-2-1 so far this season and host Bozeman this Friday night for the Maulers white-out game, when fans can join the team in sporting their road jerseys on home ice.
In other Maulers news, the America West Hockey League selected forward Zach Paisley as one of its offensive players of the week. He scored a hat trick Saturday night in Gillette and is now the third leading scorer in the league.
Goalie McKinley Baum was also tapped as the co-defensive player of the week after saving 60 shots between the Maulers two road wins this past weekend.

Top Photo Spots in Las Vegas
/Top Photo Spots in Las Vegas
Are you looking for the best places to take photos in Las Vegas? Are you heading to Las Vegas for a vacation? Will you be in a hotel or casino on the Las Vegas Strip? Are you a fan of architecture? How about awesome neon signs? Do you enjoy pseudo world travel experiences? Are you bringing your camera? You better! Las Vegas is for you! It's all fabricated, but it's a lot of fun. It's Disney for adults! Pack that camera and read on!
By the way, if you want to see all my blog posts about Las Vegas, you can do that by clicking here: http://nomadicpursuits.com/blog?category=Las+Vegas
This town is literally jam-packed with great things to point your camera at, whether you are into HDR or not. With so many casinos there, all trying to outdo each other, it's like a mini World Tour along the Las Vegas Strip. It really does feel like you are traveling around the world, to a certain extent. In that respect, it reminds me a lot of EPCOT. Of course, at EPCOT you're less likely to have intoxicated maniacs running around…just saying'. Still it's great fun and offers an endless amount of photo opportunities.
Las Vegas is generally thought about as a place to go party – and that's definitely the case, if that's your thing – but it is an amazing place for photographers as well. This Top Photo Spots list is a little different from my previous ones, in that it is just centered on spots along one street in Las Vegas – The Strip. You could spend days here and never shoot it all. But it's fun trying!
Also, as you may have read elsewhere here on the blog, I highly recommend shooting at sunrise. There are a lot of reasons why – and it depends on what you want to photograph – but in Las Vegas I highly recommend it because in the early morning you can have all these spots to yourself. It's such a party town that everyone stays out late…which means they are mostly all asleep if you are out shooting at dawn.
So, let's get into the list. These are in no particular order – they are just some awesome spots to shoot when visiting. Like my other lists, my little disclaimer is that it is impossible for me to list ALL the best spots, as I can't possibly spend enough time here to find them all. Heck, I don't even have all the best spots on my Austin list…and I live there! But, this is a great sampler of the wonderful photo opportunities that await you in exciting Las Vegas! Enjoy the list and have fun out there!
1. The front view of The Bellagio
The reflections of The Bellagio in their big lagoon are just awesome. I love architecture, and there are a lot of options here for different compositions.
2. Paris's Eiffel Tower reflected in the waters of Bellagio
I stumbled on this scene by accident. I had been shooting inside the Bellagio's shopping area, and when I walked out and saw Paris reflected, I loved it! The fabulous sky that morning was just a bonus. If you are facing The Bellagio, this is on the right side of the lagoon.
3. Inside The Bellagio
This hotel is beautiful. That's the bottom line, and that's why I have it listed out for the first 3 spots on my list. So much to shoot here! This shot is something I took in their shopping arcade area...even that is a marvel!
4. Inside The Venetian entrance hall
Talk about a grand entrance! This place just glitters. If you are using a tripod (which I was) then take your shots quick. I got asked to leave because of my tripod, but folks with handheld stuff were doing just fine. What a dumb rule. Just sayin'. But other than that, it's fabulous!
5. Inside the shopping arcade at The Venetian
Here's another place to shoot while in The Venetian. This is indoors, made to look like you are wandering around outside in Venice. Pretty cool effect, really! Even the "streets" are cobblestone. Plus they have those gondolas taking folks on tours!
6. The lagoon at The Venetian
I love reflections, and the lagoon out in front of The Venetian is a great spot for them! The place really does a great job of making you feel like you are in Italy!
7. The Strip in front of Paris
I stayed at Paris the last time I went to Las Vegas, and it's pretty cool. But what's even cooler to me is getting shots like this one down The Strip with that big Eiffel Tower replica up there. Blue hour was incredible on the morning that I took this one.
8. The entry to Bally's
This is what I call the Las Vegas Time Machine. Doesn't it look like one? This is the entrance to Bally's which has been around for ever it seems. I've actually never been in the place, but the entrance is surely worth a photo stop!
9. The sphinx at Luxor
This guy is just cool, don't you think? The Luxor is pretty old and I stayed it in years ago...and it seemed old then. But regardless of the interior, that big Sphinx out front is pretty wicked looking to me.
10. The castle tops at Excalibur
Another really old place in Las Vegas (there are a lot of them) but the exterior is one of those classic Vegas spots to me...fun, quirky, and interesting to shoot.
11. Bonus idea: all those fabulous signs and random bits of awesomeness
Ok, so I realize that this is not really a "spot" per se - it's really just cool stuff you can find all over town. I love shooting signs, and fire away at them quite a bit while I am traveling. Las Vegas is a sort of mecca for signs. They are everywhere, and there are lots of cool ones. Just keep the camera handy while walking around - you'll find something interesting for sure!
There are still many more places to go shoot here than I will probably ever get to. A few more that come to mind and are worth a photo visit are Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, Caesar's Palace, The Mirage, The Wynn (what an incredible place) and even a drive into the old downtown area to see the Golden Nugget and other famous old spots. I also hope to some day get to the top of Stratosphere and shoot towards The Strip, as well as fire some shots from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Well, maybe next time! I will add new spots when I get them!
Well that about covers this Top Photo Spots list for fabulous Las Vegas, NV! Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to leave additional ideas in the comments section. Hope this helps! Have fun shooting out there!

I live in a mobile home park and have a 2 year old SAC that was blooming at peak and beautifully. It is planted next to a hedgeline out front. The park manager came by and said that the groundskeeper was going to trim back the hedges and promised that he would leave the end that the vine was growing on alone. I went out to Lowes and whe I returned the hedge was trimmed and so was the whole top portion of my beautiful SAC!!!
Please tell me that it'll be ok?!! I am sooo mad that they went ahead and cut it back with the trimmer against my wishes. Ugh! It was looking so nice and growing so big. Now, it may be killed by the cold weather coming this winter. Here's a pic of before: Here's a pic after the brutal trimming: |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, they sure did a miserable job at it, that's for sure! So sorry about your clem! :( I hope it survives. I don't know enough about clems to help you, someone else here will be able to answer you I'm sure. But wow, what a hack job for a groundskeeper... ~Tina |
WHATTTTTTTTT? I would be so P O... But It will be fine in the long haul, just not this year. Next spring early or mid Febuary I cut mine to the ground. I relize your are in Ohio but I don't think the winter will hurt you SAC just because it got a hair cut early... But still you would think a groundskeeper would have known better then that.. Sandy |
Here, the groundkeepers don't give a hoot. They do whatever they are told to do basically. They also don't know squat about clematis or even what it is! lol I know these guys are tough so I have hope. Since it is still early enough that people do plant now. Thankgod they did it now instead of October I guess. At least it'll still have the 8 weeks or more before the first frost. Phew! |
- Posted by buyorsell888 Zone 8 Portland OR (My Page) on Thu, Sep 8, 11 at 15:54
I' sure it will be completely fine. |
That bush your clem climbs on needs trimmed up nicer anyway and I'm certain you would do a better job than that 'groundskeeper' did. :( That was an awful job by them. A professional? Yeesh! I surely hope it was just some joe the management paid to hack bushes versus a pro doing the job. Even I can do a better more even job than that and I'm no pro at it. ~Tina |
SAC is Pruning group 3 and should be cut back hard each spring. It is also hardy here in z:4 so should be fine, you will just have fewer blooms now. |
It was just some "Joe" that management hires to get the job done. I had so many buds that still had yet to bloom soon on it, oh well sigh... Little do they know how big and full that sucker will get! he,he,he! lol That SAC is just a baby at 1 year old! lol |
Oh, well then, you can go out and top off that shrubby thing it's draped on. Level it off better I mean. This fall. Then your clem will have an even better 'platform' for you to enjoy it from! :D ~Tina |
Mine has just been blooming for a couple days now, i'll wait and post a picture of it when it is in full bloom. Sandy |
Now that's what I call BIG! :) I hope mine gets that big! I just hope also that the "management" doesn't do something stupid and think it's an overgrown wild vine. I HAVE told them that it's not, but you know how that goes! lol Sandy, how old is your's? It must be a few years old at least! Gorgeous I bet and beautifully stinky too. |
Hi Kentstar..It's four years old this year, and the smell is unbelivable this year. I have two in 20 gal pots that I have been pinching the runs from all summer, just been to lazy and way to hotttt and dry here to dig holes for them, so I just placed the pots in the shade out of the hot sun and I pinched the runners off every couple days and they both have roots coming out of the bottom of their pots, they both should have a large root ball, now if I can only make myself dig holes for them. |
I join mnwsgal in reassuring you that SAC is a tough gal & will be fine - pruning was just a bit early & diminished her beauty. Mine was taken down by a late tornado on her 2nd season ~ just when I was just getting ready to prune her down at the suggestion of a SAC owner in MI. Reason for the Fall pruning is to avoid the very disaster that happened (Blizzardy winds). Thanks for viewing! |
Here is a link that might be useful: SAC pruned by Tornado
Thanks all! Ditas, glad your's survived to prosper again :) They are resilient and there is still a lot left of her so that's good. I just hope the park management doesn't make it a habit every year. I did explain to him (pm) that I do cut her back in spring and she regrows and flowers now, so hopefully he got the hint. If you are going to prune the hedges, please do so in spring! lol |
I'm constantly applying Roundup and/or stump & vine killer to the SAC's that grow invasively in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Unfortunately, they seem to come back every year stronger than ever. If you want this plant, I can't imagine it won't do the same thing as when you're trying to remove it. |
Oh My lords that SAC is just beautiful! I am going to have to find myself one. :) I love it. Now... where to put one? LOL ~Tina |

Approximately 50 percent of global biotech crops were grown in developing countries in 2011, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Agriculture reported last month.
The non-profit claims that economic incentives are the driving force behind the growing use of genetically modified (GM) crops in developing countries. Organizations such as Greenpeace, though, are unconvinced of the success of GM crops. They argue that the best way to ensure food abundance is through natural genetic diversity of food crops and agricultural engineering.
"The main point is that GM is, because of its characteristics, perfectly suited for an industrial model of agriculture," Marco Contiero, EU Policy Director on Genetic Engineering and Sustainable Agriculture for the Greenpeace European Unit in Brussels, tells MediaGlobal. "The problem is that that system is a non-sustainable system. It is a system that relies on external inputs, based on fossil fuels, pesticides, herbicides, sympathetic fertilizers, and of course fossil fuels, to run machinery."
The International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Agriculture (ISAAA), a non-profit that promotes the use of biotechnology in developing countries, dismisses any accusations regarding negative impacts of GM crops on developing countries. They are confident that GM crops such as Bt cotton (gene coding from the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis is inserted in cotton to produce its insecticidal toxin) are safe and economically logical.
ISAAA works with national programs that monitor the deployment and performance of biotech crops. For example, China has conducted detailed studies in the past on Bt cotton in the country. "To date no major adverse effects have been reported and verified," Clive James, Founder and Chair of ISAAA, tells MediaGlobal. "Farmers [are] mainly concerned about the return on investment which is favorable with GM crops leading to almost a 100 percent repeat planting."
Resource poor farmers in developing countries have taken note of these financial incentives and now constitute 90 percent of biotech farmers globally, the ISAAA report claims. In India, 10.6 million hectares of Bt cotton were grown in 2011, offering a benefit of $1.8 billion for 7 million farmers and their families.
"This extra income provides for better quality of life including more access to benefits. Edible oil from cotton increased three fold from 0.46 million tons in 2002 to 1.31 million tons in 2011." James tells MediaGlobal. "Based on 15 years of extensive global experience, during which biotech crops have generated an economic gain of $78 billion, it is evident that the greatest risk associated with biotech crops for any country is not use them."
Despite apparent economic benefits, GM critics continue to voice concerns over health, environment, and the true positive economic impact.
"Genetic engineering is not a solution when it comes to finding the signs and technology for development," Contiero tells MediaGlobal. "What is the right strategy? The right strategy is to see the local needs of the small-holder farmers, which are those that are suffering from hunger nowadays, those one billion people, and find solutions that are adaptable to that. What kind of solutions? Solutions that allow them to have resilience agriculture solution. To have a system which is capable of regenerating itself."
In countries such as India, though, massive propaganda campaigns by biotechnology companies have left farmers with only two solutions: proprietary GM seeds or low quality organic seeds. Coupled with high start-up costs, higher interest rates, an unforgiving Indian climate, and lack of water supply, the failure to meet the annual quota using GM crops has ruined thousands of farmers.
Additionally, a 2008 Science Magazine report found GM crops in Africa to be the least beneficial tool to improve agricultural ability and social-economic dilemmas. "You should look at how much one acre of farm produces per one unit of water, per unit of land," Contiero tells MediaGlobal. "Start considering and evaluating the productivity of a farming system as a whole, not just as per unit of labor."
Offering alternatives, Contiero advocates a plethora of agronomic technologies to assist developing nations, including: Integrated Plant Management, agroforestry, 'push-pull' systems, and Marker Assisted Selection (MAS), a technology that speeds up traditional breeding by allowing a plant's traits to be tested before it matures.
While these technologies may have a higher financial burden, developing countries are beginning to invest in them due to the continued public resistance to GM crops.
In the EU, GM crops are grown on only 0.017 percent of agricultural lands. With China recently stating that it will prevent GM crops in staple foods, and India preventing the introduction of its first GM food back in 2010 after public protests, the opposition to GM is worldwide.
"When it comes to GM food, not GM cotton, practically 98 percent is grown in these four countries: Canada, US, Brazil, Argentina. In Thailand and South East Asia, also, one year ago they claimed their rice GM-free." Contiero tells MediaGlobal. In Africa, there are only three states, despite the last 15 years of massive pressure by the US, the ISAAA, Monsanto and the Bill Gates Foundation. The picture globally is much less tolerable then the ISAAA wants to do."
With the world population having soared past seven billion, ensuring accessibility to food has never been a greater issue. GM technologies theoretically could act as a catalyst for developing countries, but without absolute competence of the technology, the global public may deem the risks too great.

LUCKNOW: The festival of sacrifice - Eid-ul-Zuha - was celebrated with fervour and gaiety across the state capital on Monday. The biggest congregation of Muslims took place at Eidgah where nearly 4 lakh people offered namaz led by Imam Maulana Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahli.

What's up, "Game of Thrones" cast? Well, today we have news from Variety that Kit Harington has joined the cast of Paul W.S. Anderson film "Pompeii." Yes, that Pompeii, as in Vesuvius, volcano, lava, ash, buried town.
Here's the plot:
"[The film] follows Milo (Harrington), the slave of a shipping tycoon who dreams of the day he can buy his freedom and marry his master's daughter. What Milo doesn't know is that she's already been promised to a corrupt Roman senator, while he's been sold to another owner in Naples. Just when things can't get any worse, Mt. Vesuvius erupts, prompting Milo to head back to Pompeii to rescue his love and his best friend, a gladiator who's trapped in the city's coliseum."
Sounds…melodramatic. Lee Batchler and Janet Scott Batchler wrote the script, then Julian Fellowes apparently did a revision. Well, that is a man who knows his way around a bit of melodrama. Anderson, who's best known for his "Resident Evil" movies, last delved into period film-making with "The Three Musketeers." That was not one of the better adaptations of the popular tale. So I'm not sure how high our hopes should get for this one, though I do believe Anderson can put together a good volcanic explosion.
Harington was last seen on the big screen in "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D." Things are hopefully looking up for him with a role in "The Seventh Son," with Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges, and a lead voice role in "How to Train Your Dragon 2." Then, of course, there's season three of "Game of Thrones," which can't come soon enough.

Everybody hates pop-ups. This time I have a bad usability example of Amazon.com, in contrary to Tesco yesterday's article about how to avoid pop-ups to show product pictures to users.
When you click on the product picture on the product description page, Amazon splashes a pop-up window with a bigger picture.
Why this is bad? Amazon's target is everybody, they are a super store, so it could be that many of it's users don't know much about computers. One example I can imagine is that many users have pop-up blockers but they don't know they have it, so they they will never see the pictures.
That means that many users will not get all the information they need to decide.
Sometimes you have to use pop-ups, but try to avoid them if you can. On yesterday's article you can see how this could have been avoided by Amazon.

Plant-Covered Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw Blends in With the Surrounding Park
Posted By Lori Zimmer On May 8, 2012 @ 4:00 pm In Architecture,green roof | No Comments
Rebelo's museum [6] is wrapped with a flexible mesh that bends and contorts in various geometric designs. The outer skin is then covered with a living layer of vegetation, and melds with the shrubbery of the surrounding park. The vegetative skin also connects the museum to the park, rather than to other architectural icons in the Warsaw area. It makes the literal comparison between the wonders of nature, and the wonders of art.
The lush greenery of the skin also extends to the roof, where visitors can walk along valley areas between the geometric peaks [7], with the city in view over the hills. Since the skin mimics nature, it is also subject to change. As the seasons change, so does the surface of the growing greenery [8] on the museum's skin, morphing in color and lushness.
The multi-leveled interior of the museum would also be partially lit from an enormous skylight on the peaked roof, which will let light into a red chamber [9] that is the height of the entire four floors of the museum. The resulting building considers the concept of a museum institution in a new context, equating it to a "new nature" that harmonizes with its surroundings, while presenting modern art [10]indoors.

King Lear. Director Lynne Collins chose to set her King Lear in the late-nineteenth-century American West. This doesn't add much to the theme or story, but it does fit the persona and acting style of John Hutton, who makes a fine, easy-talking, loose-limbed but imperious cattle king. And there's so much to the script — so much poetry, wisdom, humanity — that every new production yields unanticipated insights. One of the things Hutton brings to the party is humor: His Lear is often funny, possessed of the kind of wry, humorous wisdom we definitely associate with the frontier. The unexpectedness of Hutton's readings sparks many of Lear's scenes to vivid life. But Hutton does not bring the tragic heft to the role that it requires, particularly in the later scenes; the pacing of much of the production is off, too. There are treasures in this Lear, but they don't quite outweigh the missteps. Produced by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival through August 8, Mary Rippon Theatre, University of Colorado at Boulder, 303-492-0554, www.coloradoshakes.org. Reviewed July 15.
Measure for Measure. Director Scott Williams has tarted up this play with all kinds of extraneous trickery: red umbrellas and vinyl boots; swags of cloth hanging from the ceiling; an in-the-round presentation that has some audience members seated on stage behind the action so that those in front can watch them; storm sound effects; something that looks like confetti raining down and turning red at the end. A few characters are traditionally dressed; the costume pieces of others look like discards from TV shows of the '80s and '90s. None of this would matter if the leads were strong or had genuinely come to grips with the material, but they weren't and they hadn't. The action begins when the Duke of Vienna, fearing his city has become too licentious, cedes power to his rigid, puritanical deputy, Angelo, and leaves to pursue a life of contemplation. Angelo immediately decides to enforce the state's ban on fornication and sentences to death a young man, Claudio, who has impregnated his fiancée. Claudio's sister, Isabella, is about to enter a convent. She comes before Angelo to plead for her brother's life and, seeing in her the saintliness he longs to possess himself, Angelo falls — in every sense of the word. He will spare Claudio's life, Angelo tells Isabella, in return for the use of her body. A prolonged meditation on justice and mercy, shadowed at every turn by tragedy, Measure for Measure is a comedy only in that it ends in marriage rather than murder. This means a director must be entirely clear about the tone he wants to set, when to go for laughs, when to let the language and action speak for themselves. The performances here are flat, Measure for Measure. Presented by the Colorado Shakespeare Festival through August 6. University Theatre, University of Colorado at Boulder, 303-492-0554, www.coloradoshakes.org. Reviewed July 29.
Peter Pan. The folks at Boulder's Dinner Theatre approach Peter Pan with such imagination, intelligence, respect and giddy exuberance that you can't help enjoying yourself. Little boys are sure to love Captain Hook and the ferocious crocodile with the clock ticking away inside him. And how could any little girl resist the idea of flying off into the night in search of adventure with a white-nightgowned Wendy, and being so loved and needed by the Lost Boys? Not to mention Nana, the fluffy white dog who serves as the children's caretaker. The only drawback is the depiction of Native Americans, who are shown as pure 1950s Disney figures, wearing long black wigs and fringed costumes, drumming, stomping, chanting and singing a ghastly song called "Ugh-a-Wug." Still, there are loads of good things about the production, and J.M. Barrie's words still cast a spell. And when Peter Pan rises into the air and Wendy, John and Michael follow, it's pure magic. Presented by Boulder's Dinner Theatre through September 4, 5501 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, 303-449-6000, www.bouldersdunnertheatre.com. Reviewed June 3.
Picasso at the Lapin Agile. The premise of Picasso at the Lapin Agile, an entirely ahistorical play by Steve Martin, is that Picasso and Einstein met at an artists' hangout in Montmartre in 1904; the result is a meditation on the nature of creativity and the role of science and art in the twentieth century, complete with silly jokes, clever jokes, flashes of erudition and periodic, almost-profound insights. The lobby of the Barth Hotel, built in 1881 and renovated in 1930, is the perfect setting, adding a fascinating patina that speaks both of time passing and of timelessness. The Einstein we meet is a very young man who has inklings of his own genius, but no assurance of it; the Special Theory of Relativity will not be published for another year. Picasso is already somewhat recognized, though hardly world-famous, full of ego and appetite. The other characters include Freddy, the owner of the Lapin Agile, and his wife, Germaine; Gaston, a regular customer with a weak bladder; Sagot, Picasso's agent; Schmendiman, an idiot entrepreneur from the future; and a second visitor from the future, who turns out to be one of the play's most interesting surprises. The production is well-paced, well-acted and thoughtfully directed. A lovely surprise is ZZ Moore, making her Denver debut as a Suzanne so poised, graceful and intelligent that you can't take your eyes off her. Picasso at the Lapin Agile is being mounted as a fundraiser for Senior Housing Options, so buying a ticket is a good deed — but it's also your entree to a delightful time. Presented through August 14 at the Barth Hotel, 1410 17th Street, 303-595-4464, www/seniorhousingoptions.org. Reviewed July 15.

On June 6th, 1944 (D-Day) 195,000 Allied sailors, 160,000 Allied troops, 12,000 aircraft, and 7,000 naval vessels began the largest amphibious invasion in history. This invasion marked the beginning of the Normandy campaign and was the turning point in the war.
To honor the service and sacrifice of these WWII veterans, Operation Omaha will lead a Triangle area event to take these brave WWII veterans to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia on Friday, June 6th, which will mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The D-Day Memorial staff is anticipating a crowd of over 10,000 people and in addition to seeing the D-Day Memorial with other WWII veterans that shared similar experiences, there will be a special D-Day ceremony, honor guard, guest speakers, and a USO show.
This will be an overnight, chartered bus trip from the Triangle. We will depart Raleigh–Thursday, June 5th at 1:00 p.m. and return to Raleigh-Friday, June 6th at 6:30 p.m. Transportation, hotel accommodations and meals will be provided. Each Veteran will be accompanied by a Guardian. We would like to encourage a Veteran's family member between the ages of 21-65 to apply to be their Guardian and accompany them on this event. First priority will be given to family members.
First priority will be given to veterans who participated in the Normandy campaign between June 6th, 1944 and August 31, 1944. A Normandy invasion campaign veteran (D-Day) is defined as any American veteran able to describe in writing his/her participation in the Normandy campaign or has documented evidence of receiving an official Normandy Battle Campaign credit. Acceptable participation would include involvement in pre-invasion air strikes, actual landing or air assaults, follow-up reinforcements, off-shore naval support, air cover or air reconnaissance missions, deception operations, and naval, land or aerial logistical support, medical, and resupply operations. Based on veteran response and available seating, we may take additional WWII veterans beyond D-Day participating veterans.
Key leaders that participated in The Honor Flights across NC are directing this project. Our greatest challenge will be to identify these deserving veterans in the Triangle area. Our goal is that every eligible veteran that wants to go should go on this overnight, all expense paid trip. This event is funded solely by the generous donations of those that wish to participate in honoring our brave veterans that preserve the freedom that we enjoy today. Please consider a donation in memory of a deceased veteran that served in WWII. 100% of all donations will go toward the expenses of this 2 day trip of honor.

Exceptions Request & Discrepancy Report Processes
Quick links:
Exceptions Request
Discrepancy Report
Exceptions Request Process:
The Exceptions Request process is designed to allow for as much flexibility as possible, while still maintaining the integrity of the data for standardized public reporting. Hospitals/Survey vendors proposing a variation from the standard HCAHPS protocol
request an exception prior to survey administration.
To request an exception, hospitals/survey vendors are required to complete and submit an Exceptions Request Form (see the current
HCAHPS Quality Assurance Guidelines
,) that must be submitted online
). The form will collect information on the proposed alternative to the standard protocols.
NOTE: This form does not accept any special characters or symbols in the text boxes. Use only alphanumeric characters when completing this form.
Survey vendors must submit an Exceptions Request Form on behalf of their client hospital(s).
Survey vendors may submit one Exceptions Request Form on behalf of multiple hospitals with the same Exceptions Request. Survey vendors must include a list of contracted hospitals on whose behalf they are submitting the Exceptions Request. This list should be updated as hospitals are added or deleted.
Allowable Exceptions
The HCAHPS Project Team has identified acceptable variations from established methodologies. Requested exceptions may fall into categories:
Disproportionate Stratified Random Sampling - The file layout must include the following additional data elements:
Name of each stratum
Number of eligible patients for each stratum
Number of sampled patients for each stratum (minimum of 10 sampled discharges)
Determination of Service Line Categories - MS-DRGs are the preferred means to establish the service line category (Maternity Care, Medical, or Surgical). Hospitals/Survey vendors will need to request an exception for alternative strategies not identified in the
HCAHPS Quality Assurance Guidelines
If a hospital accepts an offer to participate in another CMS or CMS-sponsored project that includes an inpatient survey which may contravene HCAHPS, the hospital must file an Exceptions Request to alert and inform the HCAHPS Project Team of its participation.
No alternative modes of survey administration will be permitted other than those prescribed for the survey (mail only, telephone only, mixed mode, and IVR).
Review Process
The Exceptions Request will be reviewed by the HCAHPS Project Team who will assess the methodological soundness of the proposed alternative and the potential for introducing bias. Depending on the type of exception, a review of procedures and/or conference call or site visit may also be required. If further clarification or additional information is required for the HCAHPS Project Team to better assess the exception, the hospitals/survey vendors will be notified and requested to provide additional information.
If the Exceptions Request is approved:
The HCAHPS Project Team will notify hospitals/survey vendors.
All approved Exceptions Requests will be limited to a two year approval timeframe.
The two-year period will begin from date of approval.
If the Exceptions Request is not approved:
The HCAHPS Project Team will notify the hospital/survey vendor with information and reasoning for the denial.
Hospitals/Survey vendors have the option of appealing the denial decision. Hospitals/Survey vendors have five business days to submit an appeal. In such cases, hospitals/survey vendors will resubmit the Exceptions Request Form (checking the box marked "Appeal of Exception the Denial") and update it to provide further information about the nature of the exception. The appeal is then returned to the HCAHPS Project Team for re-review. The second review will take approximately 10 business days.
Click here to begin the Exceptions Process Form
Discrepancy Report Process:
From time to time a hospital/survey vendor may identify inadvertent and temporary discrepancies from HCAHPS protocols that require corrections to procedures and/or electronic processing to realign the activity to HCAHPS protocols. Hospitals/Survey vendors are required to notify CMS of these discrepancies.
(Examples of temporary discrepancies may include, but are not limited to, missing eligible discharges from a particular date, or computer programming that caused an otherwise eligible MS-DRG to be excluded from the sample frame.)
To formally notify CMS of discrepancies such as these, hospitals/survey vendors are required to complete and submit a Discrepancy Report as soon as possible. See the current HCAHPS

Full Definition of AMNESIA
Origin of AMNESIA
Other Psychology Terms
noun \am-ˈnē-zhə\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of AMNESIA
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Loss of memory as a result of brain injury or deterioration, shock, fatigue, senility, drug use, alcoholism, anesthesia, illness, or neurotic reaction. Amnesia may be anterograde (in which events following the causative trauma or disease are forgotten) or retrograde (in which events preceding the trauma or disease are forgotten). It can often be traced to a severe emotional shock, in which case personal memories (in effect, identity) rather than such abilities as language skills are affected. Such amnesia seems to represent an escape from disturbing memories and is thus an example of repression; these memories can generally be recovered through psychotherapy or after the amnesic state has ended. Amnesia may occasionally last for weeks, months, or even years, a condition known as fugue.

Sou'Wester News
Many fishermen – although not all – in parts of southwestern Nova Scotia have still left their lobster boats tied up in an effort to pressure lobster buyers to give them a committed price for the remainder of their season, which ends on May 31.
Fishermen have been on strike since late last week. Many would like to see lobster buyers commit to a price of $5.50 for the remainder of the season, rather than seeing the price drop to $4 a pound or below, which, they say, they can't afford due to expenses and bills.
With just four weeks left in the season, however, not all fishermen are participating in the tie-up. In some cases, fishermen have gone to wharfs where these fishermen are fishing out of to ask them to support the strike. Others, however, say fishermen are feeling intimidated by the groups of fishermen.

Overlays are completely separate repositories. There is nothing stopping an overlay from using git right now even if the main tree isn't using git. They just work in their git repositories until they are ready to commit something to the main tree, then they move the changes to the main tree. What the main tree on git would give them is the ability to create a branch from the main tree for their changes, but that would not be pushed to the main repository. All they would have to do when they are ready for their code to be merged back into the main repository is make sure that they are creating a fast-forward merge so that there is no merge commit on the master branch.

Please stop it Economist you're ruining my R$3,000 Easter egg!
WHAT is the state of consumer debt in Brazil? All the evidence is that a good deal of economic growth in the past few years has been driven by greater access to credit. This worries some observers, as do the high interest rates Brazilians continue to have to pay (of the order of 50% per annum, except for housing and auto loans). The more sanguine point to the fact that debt-to-GDP ratios remain relatively low, bank-reserve requirements are high and the most toxic sort of indebtedness, the sub-prime mortgage, is unknown. A good summary of the sunny viewpoint, with plenty of useful figures, is available here.
A bust is not imminent, but one aspect of Brazil's credit market is a cause for concern: the extraordinary encouragement to buy even small, relatively cheap items in instalments. Almost no purchase in a Brazilian shop, whether for clothes, furniture or small electrical applicances, is complete without the interrogative "Credito?" at the till. Supermarkets offer flights to domestic destinations in up to ten parcelas (instalments), sem juros (interest-free—in other words, with the interest rolled up and hidden inside the headline price; one of the many reasons why shopping in Brazil is so expensive).
The picture above, taken by your correspondent on Easter Saturday, is of a shop display of Easter eggs and "Colombas" (an Easter cake, rather like panettone) which can be purchased in up to ten parcelas, sem juros, of course. According to the small print, the minimum monthly payment is 10 reais ($6.37). A surfeit of seasonal sweets may not bring down the Brazilian economy, but I cannot help feeling queasy at the thought that some Brazilians will still be paying for them ten months later.

Home › Admission and Financial Aid › Undergraduate Admission › Transfer Students › Transfer Credit
The college transcripts of admitted applicants are evaluated by advisors in the undergraduate colleges. Credit earned from accredited colleges and universities is generally transferable if a grade of C or better has been earned in the course and if The University of Tulsa offers a comparable course. Courses taken pass/fail are not transferable unless a grade of C or better can be documented.
Faculty policy determines which courses apply towards the degree requirements and which would be considered "overage" (or not applicable) in a chosen major. Transfer applicants are notified in writing by the advising office of the number of semester hours accepted in transfer and those hours that are applicable toward the anticipated degree program. The last 45 hours of the degree program must be completed in residence at The University of Tulsa, regardless of the number of transferable credits earned.
General transfer guidelines from Tulsa Community College are as follows:
TCC Transfer Guide (General)
College of Engineering and Natural Sciences TCC Transfer Guide
Collins College of Business TCC Transfer Guide
Nursing TCC Transfer Guide
The transfer guide for St. Louis University's 1818 Program can be found here.Exceptions and policy on the transfer of collegiate requirements must be approved by the college dean. Credit is not granted for correspondence classes or experiential work. A maximum of 62 semester hours may be transferred from a two-year college. Upper division credit will not be granted for courses taken at two-year institutions. While placement testing in languages and math may allow a transfer student to place in a higher level course, The University of Tulsa does not grant credit for CLEP testing. Transfer students who took Advanced Placement (AP) tests in high school and received qualifying scores should have AP test results sent to the Office of Registration and Records at the time of their enrollment. Grades earned in courses accepted in transfer do not affect the student's grade point average at The University of Tulsa.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS (KVEO NEWSCENTER 23) — A national statistic out of the White House shows that only 13% of Hispanics complete high school. Now there's a real push to expand the educational opportunities for Hispanics. NewsCenter 23's Na'tassia Finley has more on how the White House and the Brownsville I.S.D. are working together.
Executive Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics was in Brownsville listening to concerns from educators and also successes in their classroom.
The roundtable discussion brought out concerns over early childhood education, funding being taken away from public schools and given to charter schools, even school meals among other things.
With over 54 million people, Hispanics are the largest minority group in the nation. The current administration believes expanding educational opportunities for Hispanics will help ensure the country remains a leading force across the world.

My verbena b. bloomed earlier than normal this year and with the heat and drought, it's looking a bit spent. It would take forever to deadhead all those seed heads but I thought maybe I could just cut them back half way or more. Would they regrow and bloom again if I cut them way back?
And yes I know they reseed heavily. lol

I've heard they are supposed to regrow if you cut them back, but it didn't seem to work when I did it last year...it never hurts to try though, Tony |
Cut them back, but make sure there is a leaf node so that they can regrow. I often cut them back to make them bushier. Mine look the same way right now and I cut some back a couple of days ago. |
- Posted by coolbutterfly 5A (My Page) on Thu, Jul 12, 12 at 12:30
thanks runmede- I am going to cut some back this weekend and see if it works better this time. I got a LOT of reseeding this year after virtually none the last. |
I didn't cut all of mine back. Just maybe a third of it. It still has some nectar potential and I didn't want to take that away from all the skippers. |
- Posted by coolbutterfly 5A (My Page) on Thu, Jul 12, 12 at 16:15
currently, it's the monarchs favorite plant in my garden but also seen skippers and red admirals on it. |
Just a thought, have any of you all tried the Verbena rigida? Native of Brazil, just shorter than the bonariesis. I picked up some seeds to try since the bonariesis gets mildew so quick down here in Central Florida with the high humidity. The rigida is supposed to be more mildew resistant. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 11:58
I'm not familiar with that one Michael. This is the first year that I got mildew on my v. bonariensis. It still bloomed ok but is going to seed now. If v. rigida attracts butterflies as well as bonariensis, I'll add it to my wish list. I think it would be hardy for me as well. I hope someone will comment. |
- Posted by caterwallin 6-PA (My Page) on Sun, Jul 15, 12 at 15:29
Michael, I don't know if my V. bonariensis has always had mildew but last year and this year it has had it. We get high humidity here too. I often wondered how PA rates with other states as far as humidity goes because we think it gets pretty darn humid. It's a rare summer when you can go without using the a/c. I used to plant zinnias here but they'd get so mildewy that I quit planting them. I guess the high humidity caused that too? Cathy |
Michael, It does look interesting. I looked it up. |

My V.bonariensis is lanky & not doing well except for where it is mixed with other tall plants! I just cut most of it down to about 12" because it was all bent over!!! Never seen a cat on it but lots of nectaring! I have V.rigida that I grew from seeds from Wildseed Farms & it is in an area that is a very hot & sunny location with little water & it thrives! I have never seen any BFs on it but the bees love it! It is perennial for me in Zone 7b. I have Gregg's Blue Mistflower & it seems to be the favorite nectar plant of the queens & monarchs in my yard along with my tropical milkweed plants! The swallowtails & GFs prefer the Scarlet Flame zinnias & Mexican sunflowers as well as the BF bushes I have!!! I think a lot of the preferences depend on what area you are in! I have had plants that are supposed to be great attractors that are totally ignored by BFs for me but it seems that I am constantly learning what they prefer by trial & error! |

I cant believe i made this… im sorry i couldn't find the pattern, its a simple DIY romper, but i did add some boning around the waist making it a bit more difficult, i also made inside lining because i made a corset type for the top part (if that makes sense). I do apologize for the bad picture quality tho.
You can pair it with some tights and boots for fall, a jacket or cardigan, or just flip flops for spring, or heals for a party.
thank you, ill keep looking for the pattern, i hope you can get inspired.

If Cleveland is going to make any noise in the District 5-AAA volleyball tournament, the Lady Raiders had better figure out ways to win rather than ways to give games away.
The Lady Raiders whipped up on East Hamilton for two games Tuesday night inside the CHS volleyball gym before disappearing into the cool fall evening on their way to a 3-2 loss.
"I want to wake up in the morning and hope this is a dream," said a disconcerted Cleveland coach Trish Flowers. "This game was bigger than Monday's game because we split (the season series) with Bradley. If we had split with East Hamilton, it would have changed things in the district."
The Lady Raiders breezed to a 25-14 win in game one and fought off a charge by the Lady Hurricanes to win game two by a score of 25-22.
The Lady Raiders led in game three, but fell behind 13-12 before coming back to tie the game at 15-15. Cleveland tied it once more at 19-19 before falling 25-23.
After jumping to a 5-1 lead in game four, the Lady Raiders found themselves in a battle with the Lady Hurricanes. East Hamilton tied the game at 17 apiece and took the lead for good at 23-all before closing out the 27-25 win.
The final game of the night belonged to the Lady Hurricanes. East Hamilton raced to a 5-1 lead and never looked back, closing out the night with a 15-9 win.
"We had a game plan coming into tonight, but we didn't even come close to staying with it," said Flowers. "I feel we gave them more points than they scored on us. We just didn't want to win. There was far too much standing around and watching instead of playing like a team."
Marissas Langford again led the Lady Raiders in kills with 12. Addie Stroke finished with seven and Aneisha Barber ended with six. Strode led the way with eight aces, followed by Kayla Lee with five. Lee also picked up 32 digs followed by Kelle Geren with 14 and KK Clements with 12. Eva Wilhelm and Lauren Lee booked 10 each. Geren also had 30 assists for the Lady Raiders.
Lady Owls 3,
Lady Mustangs 0
OOLTEWAH — Walker Valley ventured down the interstate Tuesday evening for some District 5-AAA action against volleyball powerhouse Ooltewah.
The Lady Mustangs fell to the Lady Owls in three straight sets (11-25, 13-25, 23-25) and now have an overall record of 17-15 and a district record of 3-6.
Ashlyn Flock had 10 assists, six digs, two kills and half a block.
Alex Rominger had 16 digs and seven receptions, while Abby Campbell had nine assists, one kill, seven digs and an ace.
Madison Pruett had 10 digs, five receptions, three kills and an ace.
Nikki Prugh had five kills, five digs and seven receptions with Alexan Crittenden getting five kills and 1.5 blocks.
Gracie Pierce got three aces, four digs and three receptions in the game.
Walker Valley is scheduled to continue its District 5-AAA play on Thursday, as the team travels north to take on McMinn County at 6 p.m.
The JV Lady Mustangs maintained their perfect record, and are now 11-0 after defeating Ooltewah's JV team (24-26, 25-18, 16-14).
Alexan Crittenden had 16 assists, eight kills, two aces and six digs, with Katelin Scoggins getting one ace, 20 digs and six receptions.
Mikayla Lumpkin had six kills, three aces, three assists, one block and a dig.
Abbi Mason had five kills and five receptions, while Ashlyn Flock had three kills, two assists, one block and a dig.
Walker Valley's freshman team was also victorious in its game against the Lady Owls freshman team (25-12, 23-25, 17-15) and is now 3-4.
Gracie Pierce had eight assists, eight kills, five aces and three digs, with Dani Sowder getting three aces, three kills, seven digs and two receptions.
Julia McGuire had tree kills, eight digs, two receptions and an ace.
Kate Essenburg had three aces, four kills and two digs, while Megan Malone had three digs, one kill and one reception.
