Natural bamboo and wood fences surround the miniature fairways of Jungle River Mini Golf, whose aptly named course pits putters against a slew of jungle-themed obstacles. Like rainforest explorers, groups of golfers hack through the wild landscape, forgoing machetes for colorful putters or spring-loaded spatulas sized to accommodate guests of all ages. Monkeypod trees, palms, crotons, and banana plants drape over the course, framing many attractions including sculptures of friendly gorillas and dinosaurs emerging from tar pits. The course also features large bridges and waterfalls that meander throughout to create sharp turns and contoured greens.
Three miles off the coast, the guides hand over the snorkels, and then it's time. Tour members climb down into the floating cage and slip just beneath the water's surface. There they peer through large poly glass windows into the deep blue ocean as swimming shapes, perhaps hazy at first, pull into focus.
When the tour-goers finally glimpse the creatures, it might not exactly be love at first sight, but one thing is for sure: after spending time face-to-face with a Galapagos, sandbar, or tiger shark, they'll leave that protected cage with a whole new appreciation for these carnivores of the deep. That's of the utmost importance to Hawaii Shark Encounters, since the company hopes to turn each person they meet into a "shark ally," an advocate for the animals' global conservation.
The staff at Sea & Board Sports Hawaii honors its island ancestry by using only Hawaiian-designed boards, which they can customize for those desiring a one-of-a-kind deck pad. Handy board mechanics tend to tarnished planks as sea-faring adventurers browse the store's voluminous selection of accessories, which ranges from paddles and leashes to athletic-grade peg legs. Proud locals bring their love and knowledge of Oahu's shorelines to Sea & Board's lessons, during which students learn balance and paddling techniques as spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and whales lazily drift beneath the ocean's crystalline waves.
Glow Hawaii Glow is not about how fast you run—it's about how brightly you shine. The 5K race decks out participants in glowing accessories, and encourages them to wear white clothing so that the course's black-lights have a dazzling effect. At every kilometer of the race, a different surprise or obstacle illuminates runners. And, because these areas are "party zones", participants can jog, walk, or dance along on their surfboard, so long as they reflect the celebratory spirit of the event. After the race, an after-party keeps the glow going with music and luminous decorations.
When the sun descends past the horizon, participants will strap on their headlamps and embark on a 5K run under a glowing moon. The race trail follows the scenic, coastal terrain, and all participants receive a headlamp. Post-race, runners enjoy live music, carnival rides, Santa photo booth, and giveaways while partaking in food and drinks. The friendly competition continues at the after-party, where organizers bestow awards to runners with the best costumes.

Affidavit: Kristen Smith fakes pregnancy, steals half-sister's baby, leaves him behind gas station
The story told in the arrest affidavit of Denver's Kristen Rose Smith is so bizarre that it seems more like fiction than fact. But authorities in Wisconsin stand by their account, which states that Smith faked a pregnancy, kidnapped Kayden Powell, the days-old baby of her half-sister, and then left the infant behind a gas station as police moved in.Photos, video and more below.
The baby is fine, thank goodness. The same can't be said of Smith, however. Get details and see photos, a video and the complete affidavit below.
The affidavit was submitted under the auspices of the FBI, since Kayden was transported across state lines, making the kidnapping a federal crime.
At 4:30 a.m. on February 6, according to the document, cops in Beloit, Wisconsin were dispatched to a home on the 800 block of Homeland Court on a report that a four-day-old baby was missing.The scene of the abduction, from 7News coverage.
The boy's mother -- referred to as "BM" in the arrest report but identified by 7News as Brianna Marshall -- told officers that she discovered Kayden missing from his bassinet a few hours after her half-sister, Smith, had planned to leave for a drive back to Denver, her home.
Then, around 4:54 a.m., Smith called Marshall's grandmother, who was also on hand, and the phone was passed to one of the officers.
In that conversation, Smith, who was en route to Denver at the time, allegedly said Marshall, her boyfriend and the baby were planning a move to Colorado to live with her.
She added that she had some of Kayden's clothes with her, but not the infant himself.
In response, the officer told Smith to pull over at the nearest gas station and wait for police to come and question her about the disappearance.Kayden Powell, in a photo shared by law enforcement.
Just under a half-hour later, at 5:21 a.m., Smith called back to say she was at a gas station off Highway 80 in West Branch, Iowa, and within minutes, she was being interviewed by an officer there.
Smith subsequently gave the officer permission to search her ride. He found the aforementioned baby clothes, plus a car seat, a stroller and a "prosthetic pregnancy belly."
But the baby was nowhere to be seen.

I am new to this forum, and actually somewhat new to rose gardening. I've had a few rose bushes in the past, sadly, only one is still with us now. I am pining over a few varieties of DA roses. Planning on buying 1, maybe 2, or 3 of them . . . I'm having a hard time narrowing it down to 1. I am considering; A Shropshire Lad (climber) Brother Cadfael Sweet Juliet William Morris Wollerton Old Hall Gentle Hermione Any info on disease resistance, repeat blooming and overwintering would be appreciated. I'm also wondering how they are as cut flowers. Considering ordering through Heirloomroses or Davidaustinroses. Suggestions on where to purchase would be helpful as well. Thanks! |

I'll be watching to see whether you get directed to sources for the roses you named...i haven't seen more than one or two offered. I believe that Knockouts have driven better roses out of the market...and then hosted RRD to kill a lot of others. But i hope to be proved wrong. |
Terri - I am in the Milwaukee area. I have Gentle Hermione, but only planted her last year so can't tell you much about her yet. I also have Queen of Sweden, Princess Alexandra of Kent, Wise Portia, and Pretty Jessica with Munstead Woods on order for this spring. The most mature ones of the group are Princess Alexandra of Kent and Queen of Sweden and they are great in my part of Wisconsin. Queen of Sweden has terrific BS resistance for me. Brother Cadfael is on my short list for next year. My Gentle Hermione is own-root from David Austin. I've also ordered a number from Heirloom. Where in Wisconsin are you located? I ran into a nursery last year in the Delafield - Hartland area that carried a lot of Austins in the gallon size if you are anywhere in the neighborhood this spring. |
I don't grow any of the ones you listed, but they all look gorgeous! A word on ordering. Since you are new, perhaps you are not aware that Heirloom only sells very small little tiny plants--you have to nurse them along, usually in a pot, for a year. Then they are ready (hopefully) to go into the ground and become a garden plant. The roses from David Austin are usually big bareroots grafted on Dr. Huey (as are most grafted plants in the U.S.). They need to be planted early in the season--like in the next week or two, perhaps. You might check online for Roses Unlimited or Chamblees--they are two of my favorite places. They carry Austins, but I'm not sure they carry the most recent ones like Gentle Hermione. Their roses are own root and growing in a pot and ready to go right into the ground after all danger of freezes has passed by--that is the month of May for me. Of course, they can be a bit expensive since that extra soil in a pot weighs more and therefore costs more. I order from the last three all the time--they are all good--but I don't have the patience to wait an extra year for a dinky Heirloom starter to gain enough maturity. Otherwise, Heirloom is also excellent. You might have to check a number of places this late in the season--late for ordering, that is. Many of us put in our orders last fall or by New Year's at the latest. You could also phone a number of garden centers in your area and ask if they have Austins and in particular the ones you are interested in--but they may not carry Austins, or only a few of the older Austins--unless you have a really terrific garden center there (we don't in my region, unfortunately). Hope that helps. Good luck with your Austins--you will love them. Kate |
I grow Brother Cadfael and Sweet Juliet, and they are wonderful. Brother Cadfael has a delicious Old Rose fragrance. Sweet Juliet has a fragrance of Tea Rose and fruit. Sweet Juliet repeats well; I think a faster repeat than Brother Cadfael. I don't winter protect my Austins, they are hardy here. They get blackspot and drop their leaves, however this does not diminish vigor or hardiness. Sweet Juliet holds onto its leaves a little better than some of the other Austins. I used to grow Gentle Hermione, but did not keep it as the fragrance was unpleasant to my nose.... I like David Austin Roses for large grafted plants. (I have an order arriving from them this April, I'm a repeat customer...) Sweet Juliet |
Gorgeous picture, Krista. I'm not sure that I've seen a picture of this rose here before. What a lovely and romantic-looking rose. Ingrid |

Thanks so much for all of your quick replies! Zaphod, I am in the New Berlin area. Delafield is just down the road. I'd love to visit the nursery you mentioned. What is it's name? I might even give them a call to see if they have any of these varieties. Kate thanks for the info on Heirloom. I am not that patient, so I think I will try to order from somewhere that provides larger plants. The price was right, but I guess you get what you pay for. I'll check out Roses Unlimited and Chamblees. I didn't realize that many roses were grafted and not grown from there own root. I'll have to do some reading on that. Krista, your Sweet Juliet is beautiful! That seems to be a popular variety, it is sold out at both David Austen and Heirloom. You have given me much to think about! I'll let you know once I place an order and hopefully can post pics this summer. Terri |
Terri - Their name is Garden Gate Nursery at N48 W30756 Hill Street in Hartland, WI 53029. I don't remember which ones they had, but was impressed that they carried such a variety of Austins last year. Also, I've bought quite a few plants from Heirloom and I put them right into the ground - one of which was Queen of Sweden. I haven't lost one yet that I've done it to. (Probably just jinxed myself there by saying it.) It does add about a year, though they catch up. David Austin offers some of their roses in own root as well and those are big bare roots. We won't start planting our bare roots here until the middle of April-ish. |

If you can get Wollerton Old hall, you should, I don't think I've ever seen a blemish on it, it is extremely healthy, scent is very strong myrrh - love it or hate it. I grow a couple of the others on your list, but it is too early to say how they will do for me. Sweet juliet sold out here in the UK as bare root also, don't think it's down to popularity so much as them only producing a few each year. |
I've grown Brother Cadfael since the year he was first offered for sale, and had wonderful results at two different locations. He gets extremely large and has large gorgeous blooms with one of the best bloom scents of the Austins (in my opinion, of course). One of the nicest things about Bro is that in spring all his canes are the most beautiful wine color and with very few thorns all season. Right now, he is just one big solid, gorgeous deep wine hunk of rose. His rebloom is good compared to other Austins (I grow both newer and older varieties. I probably shouldn't post another of my Bro photos, since I've already done it several times, but here goes just one more. Diane |
- Posted by farmerduck none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 14:20
Diane -- you grow the most the spectacular roses! Do post as many pictures as you can as they are such treat. Terri - search for Diane's past posts, and you should see a few shots of Diane' full bush Bros. Diane's garden is rose heaven. |
- Posted by gardener-in-wi 5 SEWi (My Page) on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 15:34
Diane - your photo just sold me on Brother Cadfael, that rose is stunning! I checked one of your previous posts and saw the picture of the actual bush. It's huge, not sure if it will fit the space I have in mind. This will be planted in a garden along my fenceline. If I bought the climbing version I'm assuming it would be narrower? Caldonbeck, I'm considering Wollerton Old Hall as well due to your recommendation on disease resistance. I just need to figure out if I have enough space for both! It seems as though roses can be addicting, it's hard to buy just one! Zaphod, I checked out the website for Golden Gate Nursery. They are open Tues-Sat. I'll be giving them a call tomorrow to see which DA roses they will have in stock. I can't wait for this snow to melt so I can start gardening! |
Thank you both for the nice comments--wow. You made my day. You know, I don't think the so called climbing version of Bro Cadfael is any different than the bush form. At least that is what I heard on this forum. Snow be gone for all of you. (I'd like a little rain before the dry season starts here. Diane |
The only one I have on your list is 'William Morris', a short climber for me. The canes are only about 6-7' but so lax I attached them to the fence. Beautiful flower similar to 'Abraham Darby' but without Abe's delicious fragrance, without much fragrance at all, and not as productive as Abe. On the good side much more disease resistant than Abe. |
I live near Tyler so go to Chamblees and pick up my David Austins from their warehouse there. I just added Abe Darby and Ambridge Rose to my DA order and picked them up March 1. They told me they were basically finished with 2013 orders, but they might ship - if you plan to order from them, I would call now. Their plants are huge and very healthy. Chamblees has own root Austins for $12 in one gallon - forgot the price on the larger ones as I never buy those. They are very healthy roses and I highly recommend Chamblees. They have a very nice selection tho not any of the ones you mentioned. If you cant buy locally - I would call David Austin and order from them to get the ones you want. |
- Posted by gardener-in-wi 5 SEWi (My Page) on Tue, Mar 12, 13 at 22:33
Thanks Hoovb for your comments on William Morris, it sure is a beautiful rose, but fragrance and repeat blooming are important to me, so I think I will heed your advice. Alameda, I checked out Chamblee's web site. Many of their roses are sold out now. I will have to keep them in mind next year if I decide to order more. Researching my rose choices has been so much fun. I'm sure I will want to start a collection. One or two won't be enough. I think I decided on Brother Cadfael and Wollerton Old Hall. I was originaly worried about the size, but I am going to try to grow them as climbers on my fence and see what happens! I'm hoping they are both still available at David Austin. |
A Shropshire Lad did not make it through the first winter. Brother Cadfael is the ball king. Gentle Hermione smells bad. Abraham Darby doesn't bloom very much. I would recommend Evelyn, Sharifa Asma, Gertrude Jekyll, Charlotte, Crown Princess Margareta, Mary Rose, and Tradescant |
- Posted by poorbutroserich Nashville (My Page) on Thu, Mar 14, 13 at 18:28
I love my Sharifa Asma, Glamis Castle, Jude the Obscure and Eglantyne. They do well here no spray but as for hardiness, I'm much warmer. I chose these based on scent. They seem to blow really quickly though in the heat and don't do well for cutting. I know there are other Austins that do. I ordered two Cymbaline in little bands. I'm looking forward to watching them grow. If you don't have the Austin catalog, request it. There are rose recs for climates, placement, uses, etc. It is great eye candy and full of great inspiration. Susan |

If you've noticed I've been posting less frequently lately, it's because I've got a few new temporary hang outs that sadly don't involve food trucks.
For those of you who don't know, Truckista is also a "New Home Ownerista," and I've been spending more time at Lowe's, Home Depot and other random flooring stores than I'd like to admit.
Though I've been spending massive amounts of time preparing for the big move and a mini renovation, a girl's still gotta eat.
So while you've all been out at your favorite trucks, I've been chowing down on Home Depot tacos. That's right, Home Depot sells tacos! (Maybe that's not so shocking to you, but it's definitely a West Coast thing. I've definitely never seen a cafe at Home Depot in Connecticut.)
To be exact, the cafe at Home Depot's Sunnyvale (and maybe others?) location has Carne Asada tacos on Wednesdays. While I can't exactly say they're amazing, they're not half bad. Then again, I could just be delirious from hours of weighing the pros and cons of hardwood versus laminate flooring.

Fun and Simple Casino Game for Your Game Room
Are you ready to invite a new game to your game room? Blackjack is the perfect game. It is simple and fun. Almost anybody can play and there really aren't too many things you need to get to get started playing. Blackjack is the most popular casino game so it will definitely be a hit in your house everybody will want to come over and play a game. It will be great for parties or just a night with your friends.
One main thing you will need if you want to play blackjack is a quality deck of cards. If you want cards that are in it for the long run and won't wear out after a game then you need to invest in plastic playing cards. Plastic playing cards will last much longer and won't tear, crease, or wear out like paper cards and you can wipe plastic cards off if they get dirty you can't do that with paper cards. So if you want a long lasting quality card you need to get plastic playing cards, there are many different brands that make great cards some of the most well known are Kem and Copag, both make durable and well designed plastic playing cards.
Next item that you will absolutely have to have is some sort of playing surface preferably with blackjack markings on them to give it more of that casino feel. One way you can go is to get a blackjack table if you have the money and the space I would say get the table because it will truly make you feel like you are at the casino. If that isn't an option though there are other possibilities like a tabletop or even a felt layout just placed on a table. There are many felt layouts you can choose from just a simple blackjack one with all the markings won't cost you more than $15 and it is just as good as any table.
Once you have a table and cards there are some other basic blackjack supplies you could get. Like a blackjack dealing shoe they come in handy for the dealer because all they have to do is place the shuffled cards in the dealing shoe and then distribute the cards. Some blackjack dealing shoes can even hold up to 6 decks of cards. Blackjack is a fun game and bringing it home won't be too hard either.

More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 11th 2010 4:40PM Shouldn't be too hard to give the player two spells once he puts a talent point into Tree of Life-form. One enforces the form for the duration (a la Metamorphosis) with another particle-effect (player starts glowing and leaves swirl around), and the other spell is purely cosmetical and can be toggled on/off.
A minor glyph is just a waste of space for the player.
It's not hard for them to add another spell into the spellbook.
WoW Moviewatch: The Worgen {WoW}
Jan 4th 2010 7:01PM That's darn good, had ye old shivers for quite a while during the latter part of the video.
Would have been nice to see an original story though, since there's a lot of neat storytelling done in the video I can imagine it would be better once it surprises people (the story of the Worgen have been widely discussed) for that bigger impact.
Also have to give credit for the soundtrack you chose, it enhances it very nicely.
And for feedback I personally am not too fond of the fighting scenes, they were pretty stale and the mages ended up hitting the scourge with their hands. A few spells casts in the city of mages perhaps? So it could be a bit more frantic, a bit more believable perhaps if more blows were slaying hits (Abomination cleaving down several mages from behind) rather than just going at it at one another during the scene.
Anyway, very nice production, if you have anything else going on please tell. I thrive seeing this kind of stuff.
P.S Add links on the YouTube video itself so it leads to your project/blog for more hype on your next project.

Shifting Perspectives: The disappearance of the bear, part 2 {WoW}
Oct 21st 2009 4:57PM Honestly I think it's because beartanking is so utterly boring.
What was added since Wrath came into the tanking bears life?
Basically nothing, a Berserk cooldown and replacing any kind of coordination on getting all the adds in a large group replaced with swipeswipeswipeswipe.
There should have been one new ability at the very least that would make tanking more fun, right now it's optimized with ranged Growl, Feral Faerie Fire and 360 Swipe with Maul spam all the time. What the heck happened to being flexible with Feral charge and in general being very mobile in comparison to other tanks? That niche was given away to Warriors who also received our Frenzied Regeneration as well as Shockwave and Heroic Throw.
But foremost Wrath's instance philosophy is what ruined tanking for me at least, AoE does not equal fun in any way. It's basically just dumbing down the game and giving you more numbers on your screen.
And the ass on the new model is just ridiculous, unless they changed it since last time I saw it (not playing WoW any more).
However, this article is probably blowing the issue up a lot. As other people say it's a class with 4 directions.
Patch 3.3 PTR: New Tauren skins found {WoW}
Oct 4th 2009 7:27AM I think these are just NPC skins for Grimtotems. If you go into the thread, the guy who found it said it was found as NPC skins and he just added the pants straight ontop of the texture to make it look more decent for viewers.
Most likely an event of some sorts, which is exciting nonetheless but I don't think it's character customization.

I guess you'll beat Tauren at the Catform anyway so, might equal things out :p
New Druid form art in patch 3.2 {WoW}
May 26th 2009 5:19PM Wohoo!
It took a REAL long time for this to happen and I'm a bit sad it's so close to the original, but who can blame them when it's actually been four years we have seen our toon as the original (albeit looking like crap) forms.
Anyhow, what I am most excited about is the fact that they have 'unlocked' higher resolution textures on these models now, it was one of the most annoying things when retexturing the ones I had done before.
I love these but I'll most likely reskin them, even if only for personal use, I'm not too fond of the colouring on the brown one (mah toon has brown skin and I don't intend to change that). I hope Tauren Catform will take strides further away from the original monstrosity than perhaps what Bear have.

Although the majority of the potteries in the Seagrove Area Potters Association have a mailing address of Seagrove", many are actually located in Northwestern Moore County, more widely known for the famous Pinehurst and Southern Pines area golf resorts. The Seagrove area potters can be found in their shops most weekdays, quietly working with clay on their potters wheels, in much the same fashion as the first potters attracted to central NC by the abundant local clay. The mission of the Seagrove Area Potters Association is to help you find those hardworking artists, visit their studios and find just the right pottery to grace your home. The organization is led by a board of directors made up of potters and other interested individuals from the community. The Discover Seagrove website, along with the SAPA Visitors Guide, lists hours and other important information about the local potters to help you plan your visit. We look forward to meeting you!

How to Remove Unnecessary Stress From Your Life
Even the most happy-go-lucky person has experienced stress at some point in their lives. In fact, stress is normal and in certain situations it makes sense to deal with it. What isn't healthy, however, is unnecessary stress. While each person handles stress in their own way, identifying and eliminating unnecessary stress is very important because if left unchecked, it can creep up on a person, causing havoc that could have been avoided in the first place.
What makes unnecessary stress hard to detect is the fact that it can be easily confused with normal everyday stresses. Below are just a few situations that could produce unnecessary stress. If any or all of these situations sounds too familiar with you, keep reading because there are also helpful tips and solutions to go with each situation.
Your Living Space is Cluttered and Unorganized
Being a little disorganized is one thing being constantly exposed to cluttered surroundings can make a person feel stifled, unhappy and stressed out. Leading a busy daily routine does cause some people to neglect regular cleaning and tidying up, resulting in weeks' worth of clothes, paperwork and other items stacking up to the point where it's unbearable.
If you start to find yourself stressing out or getting anxiety attacks when at home, look at your surroundings? Are things scattered all over the place? Do you have stacks of dirty and clean clothes everywhere except for hanging nicely in the closet or folded into drawers? Are there mounds of paperwork, bills and junk mail covering desks and countertops? Then it's time to do some serious cleaning and organizing.
Once the clutter has been eliminated, chances are you'll be able to breathe much easier. That feeling is the release of unnecessary stress. Your home, whether it's a studio apartment or a residential home, should be the one place where unnecessary stress doesn't intrude.
You Feel Lost or Unsure of Where You're At in Life
Nothing causes more unnecessary stress than not being happy with where you're at in your life. Working at a dead-end job, being in an unhappy relationship (or no relationship at all) and not accomplishing goals all contribute to feeling down and out, as well as super stressed. This type of situation is one that calls for reflection, a self evaluation and pinpointing which parts of your life are causing you stress.
Similar to the situation above, an effective approach is to organize your life. This means lining up all your ducks and seeing where you stand in each aspect of your life, including the mundane stuff like bills.
Sometimes we tend to get carried away with the day-to-day tasks, that we forget to make sure things are lined up for the future, especially financially. For example, carrying credit card debt and/or falling behind on bills is a surefire way to suffering from extreme stress. If you feel like you're swimming in debt or aren't sure where you stand with how much income is coming in versus your expenses each month, it's time to do the paperwork.

About as complete a selection of fan and artist favorites as any single-disc Bruce collection could be, this is a surprisingly coherent listen given the many stylistic and attitudinal shifts it charts. The inclusion of only four of Born in the U.S.A.'s seven Top 10 entries leaves space for less obvious choices like "Atlantic City" and four new cuts, among them songs recorded by a briefly reunited E Street Band. The pace lags a bit near the end--"Secret Garden" is turgid enough to take its place on a Sting album--but Greatest Hits earns its place in the car CD player with stuff like "Born to Run," "The River" and "Dancing in the Dark." --Rickey Wright

Russian Trade Costs in Historical Perspective: From Catherine the Great to Vladimir Putin. With Vladimir Tyazhelnikov and Timur Valetov. Job Market Paper: Relative Prices, Hysteresis, and the Decline of American Manufacturing. December 2014. Under Review. This study uses new measures of real exchange rates to study the collapse of US manufacturing employment in the early 2000s in historical and international perspective. To identify a causal impact of RER movements on manufacturing, I compare the US experience in the early 2000s to the 1980s, when large US fiscal deficits led to a sharp appreciation in the dollar, and to Canada's experience in mid-2000s, when high oil prices and a falling US dollar led to an equally sharp appreciation of the Canadian dollar. I use disaggregated sectoral data and a difference-in-difference methodology, finding that an appreciation in relative unit labor costs for the US lead to disproportionate declines in employment, output, investment, and productivity in relatively more open manufacturing sectors. In addition, I find that the impact of a temporary shock to real exchange rates is surprisingly long-lived. I explain the persistent effects of exchange rate movements on manufacturing using a Melitz model extension with sunk fixed costs, which leads to a dynamic gravity equation whereby shocks to trade have persistent effects that decay over time. The appreciation of US relative unit labor costs can plausibly explain more than two-thirds of the decline in manufacturing employment in the early 2000s. Previous Version from April 2014.

Companion Paper: Through the Looking Glass: A WARPed View of Real Exchange Rate History November 2014. Under Review. Older version. Commonly used trade-weighted real exchange rate indices are computed as indices-of-indices, and thus do not adequately account for growth in trade with developing countries. Weighted Average Relative Price (WARP) indices solve this problem but do not control for productivity differences, as developing countries are observed to have lower price levels via the Balassa-Samuelson effect. In this paper, we remedy these problems in two ways. First we propose a Balassa-Samuelson productivity adjustment to Weighted Average Relative Price indices (BS-WARP). Secondly, we introduce a Weighted Average Relative Unit Labor Cost index (WARULC) for manufacturing and show that this measure does a much better job predicting trade imbalances and declines in manufacturing employment than the IMF's Relative ULC measure created as an index-of-indices. Our series reveal that for many countries currently mired in liquidity traps, relative prices reached historic highs heading into the financial crisis of 2008. We document that in 2002 -- during the surprisingly sudden collapse in US manufacturing -- US relative prices had not been that high relative to trading partners since the worst year of the Great Depression.

VoxEU profile here. Future Projects: Collapse: The Local Economic Consequences of Real Exchange Rate Movements Abstract: At the height of American manufacturing, in 1979, Indiana had a per-capita GDP close to that of New York, and a substantially higher income than any southern state. From 1979-1986, employment growth in Indiana substantially lagged employment growth of the economy overall, and Indiana had become much poorer than New York while several southern states had closed the gap. Why? I argue that Indiana's misfortune to be the most specialized state in terms of import-competing manufacturing led to declining fortunes when the US real exchange rate appreciated in the mid-1980s. Studying the period 1977-2008, I find that local labor markets specialized in tradable manufacturing goods and agriculture experienced declines in employment and income per capita, and a decline in birth rates and an increase in death rates triggered by the out-migration of the young when the real exchange rate appreciated. Once the dollar returned to previous levels, the hardest-hit communities and states never recovered. Bretton Woods II, Relative Prices, and the Anatomy of Balance-Sheet Recessions: A Rethink Abstract: The combination of capital controls and foreign currency accumulation is generally thought to be harmless or even beneficial to trading partners whose currency is being accumulated. Using a New Keynesian model similar to Krugman and Eggertson (2012), I show that currency overvaluation can lead to both trade imbalances and the overaccumulation of debt, which may increase the likelihood of balance sheet recessions, financial crises and liquidity traps. In addition, having trading partners who use capital controls to undervalue their currencies can subtract directly from aggregate demand if monetary authorities cannot or will not offset the impact with looser policy, either due to the liquidity trap or due to unfamiliarity with non-traditional tools of monetary policy at the zero lower bound. Currency overvaluation can slow the process of deleveraging in a liquidity trap. Lastly, the impact of currency overvaluation due to trading partner capital controls are likely to be exacerbated when the tradable sector exhibits hysteresis. When trading partners are unwilling to revalue their currencies, a second-best monetary policy would seek to tax foreign currency accumulation via a higher inflation target. Monetary Policy at the Zero-Lower Bound: Self-Induced Paralysis? Abstract: This study investigates the frequency of central bank policy innovations as a function of surprises in Macroeconomic time series data including inflation, output, and unemployment, and as a function of uncertainty over the effectiveness of policy due to the zero lower bound. In the 1920s and from 1955 to 2008, there was never a two-year period when the Federal Reserve did not alter the Federal Funds rate. By contrast, from the end of 2008 to the end of 2010, and during long stretches of the Great Depression, the federal funds rate was constant while changes in the Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet were modest. This is especially noteworthy in light of the repeated large downward revisions to the Federal Reserve's growth and inflation forecasts since 2008. Similar trends are found in Japan and Europe during the Great Depression period and today. This paper documents that in practice, when central banks operate near the zero lower bound, policy becomes systematically more passive in response to data surprises. A quantitative keyword analysis of central bank minutes and speeches conducted in local languages suggests a large role for policy uncertainty, unfamiliarity with non-traditional monetary tools, and status-quo bias.

KB I am already worried for next season. We have a poor and mentally weak squad, and based on what has happened this season, I don't see a board committed to improving things. This time next year we may well be staring the fourth division inthe face.
I am just thankful for this forum. At least we know we're not alone and it gives us somewhere to vent our frustrations which offers some therapeutic effect!

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Remember your Creator when you are young, before the days of trouble come and the years catch up with you. They will make you say, "I have found no pleasure in them." | 1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-- |
2 Remember your Creator before the sun, the light, the moon, and the stars turn dark, [and] the clouds come back with rain. | 2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; |
3 Remember your Creator when those who guard the house tremble, strong men are stooped over, the women at the mill stop grinding because there are so few of them, [and] those who look out of the windows see a dim light. | 3 when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; |
4 Remember your Creator when the doors to the street are closed, the sound of the mill is muffled, you are startled at the sound of a bird, [and] those who sing songs become quiet. | 4 when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint; |
5 Remember your Creator when someone is afraid of heights and of dangers along the road, the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, [and] the caper bush has [no] fruit. Mortals go to their eternal rest, and mourners go out in the streets. | 5 when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets. |
6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is snapped, the golden bowl is broken, the pitcher is smashed near the spring, and the water wheel is broken at the cistern. | 6 Remember him--before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well, |
7 Then the dust [of mortals] goes back to the ground as it was before, and the breath of life goes back to God who gave it. | 7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. |
8 "Absolutely pointless!" says the spokesman. "Everything is pointless!" | 8 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is meaningless!" |
9 Besides being wise, the spokesman also taught the people what he knew. He very carefully thought about it, studied it, and arranged it in many proverbs. | 9 Not only was the Teacher wise, but also he imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. |
10 The spokesman tried to find just the right words. He wrote the words of truth very carefully. | 10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true. |
11 Words from wise people are like spurs. Their collected sayings are like nails that have been driven in firmly. They come from one shepherd. | 11 The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one Shepherd. |
12 Be warned, my children, against anything more than these. People never stop writing books. Too much studying will wear out your body. | 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. |
13 After having heard it all, this is the conclusion: Fear God, and keep his commands, because this applies to everyone. | 13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man. |
14 God will certainly judge everything that is done. This includes every secret thing, whether it is good or bad. | 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Diamond!
Facts about Diamond
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Diamond's Info...
I am already spayed and not good with dogs.
Shy adult tabby and white female. Patience is rewarded when she lets you pet her. She gets along with other non-aggressive cats. Best in a quiet home.
Other Pets at Hope for Cats, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Diamond, a North Boston Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in North Boston, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in North Boston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Boston already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a North Boston breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in North Boston paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Anderson County Board of Education took the first step last week toward building a new Early Childhood Center — but don't expect any ground to be broken for at least a couple years.
At a special meeting Sept. 28, the board approved a BG-1, which is a project application form the district submits to the Kentucky Department of Education.
However, district officials don't expect to be able to start on the project for two to three years, said Superintendent Kim Shaw.
On Veterans Day, the Anderson News will publish a special section saluting the local men and women who have served our country in the armed forces.
We are accepting new photos for the section, but if you have submitted a photo for our Hometown Heroes section in the past, you do not need to resubmit it. Photos that have been published in previous editions automatically will be included this year.
To view the most recent Hometown Heroes section, published in 2005, click below:
EMINENCE – The Anderson County High School volleyball team pulled away in the third and deciding game to defeat Henry County in the District 28 Tournament, being held at Eminence High School.
After a pair of nip-and-tuck games that saw tie scores and lead changes as the norm, the Lady Bearcats never trailed in the third to post a 26-24, 20-25, 25-15 win. The Lady Bearcats got 13 kills from Hannah Smith and got huge games from defenders Cindy and Sandy Zhang, who sparked the third-game rally with deft passing.
I don't know when I have seen a more dominating performance by an Anderson County football team over a good opponent than I did Friday night at Bullitt Central.
This was one that was supposed to be close. It was touted by some writers as one of the top games in the state. Two unbeaten 5A teams, both with aspirations of making noise in the post-season.
There aren't many things in the life of a teenager that can top that day when he gets his driver's license, but Neal Wells isn't your ordinary 16-year-old.
He's a football player. A good one.
And just two days after being able to take a spin without someone sitting to his right, Wells came up even bigger to help Anderson County outlast visiting Jeffersontown for a major district win Friday night.
And just like his driving now, Wells made the biggest play of the night on his own.
Judge Donna Dutton heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Aug. 3.
Shana L. Bowman, hearing, license to be in possession, failure of non-owner operator to maintain required insurance -- bonded out.
Bradley D. Comp, arraignment, third-degree terroristic threatening -- continued first appearance Aug. 27.
Bryan E. Duke, motion to revoke probation, operating on a suspended/revoked operator's license, failure of owner to maintain required insurance/security -- motion granted, to serve five days.
The Anderson County Middle School football team rolled past Shelby West 29-14 last Tuesday to with the regular season conference championship and remain unbeaten on the year.
The Mustangs spotted Shelby West an early 6-0 lead, then roared back for the win.
With time running out in the first quarter, Anderson quarterback Zachary Carmichael connected with Ross Cox on a 25 yard touchdown pass, but the conversion failed.
Volunteering, a great opportunity to help people, meet people, and get recommendations for college. In fact, just getting involved in our community helps. Have you ever thought about it? While sure we can't all be a mayor or judge, but the little things we do help so much.
There is a widespread perception that the Kentucky-Indiana high school basketball all-star series is on life support, but Anderson County coach Glen Drury believes the series could become a hoops version of Lazarus.
Last week, he took an official step toward pumping life into the series, at least on the south side of the Ohio River, by accepting an offer to coach the Kentucky boys' team in 2011.
This Sunday — the second Sunday of the month — Anderson County citizens are invited downtown to get active.
For the first time, Anderson County is participating in "Second Sunday," which is a "statewide event that encourages all forms of physical activity within the local community and is designed to get Kentuckians moving," according to the event website, www.2ndsundayky.com.

I have some information on Daniel E Crume. Lets start with Philip Crume, Son of Daniel and Elizabeth Brooks. Philip Married Sarah Withers, one of their children, Daniel Crume, born on January 27, 1758. In Frederick, VA. He married twice. Married Mary Dodson in Virginia. She died in 1801. He then married Hannah Springer in Washington Co. Kentucky, Jan. 12, 1801. She was born June 7, 1769. They had the following children: Nathan Crume born Oct. 25, 1801. Eunice Crume Born, 1803. Squire Springer Crume born 1805. William A. Crume was born 1806. Moses Crume born 1807. William A. Crume is my decendent (I think) He was born in Butler Co. Ohio in 1806. In died March 23, 1855. He married Rebecca Frakes in Decatur Co., Indiana, Nov. 17, 1827. Rebecca was born in Indiana Dec. 14, 1807. Rebecca was the daughter of Joseph Frakes. William and Rebecca has the following children: Mary Elizabeth Crume born June 10, 1831. Martha Ann Crume born June 1833. Sarah Ann Crume born April 14, 1839. William David Crume born Jan. 9, 1850. Sarah Ann Crume. Sarah Crume is the mother of Susannah Crume born October 3, 1856. I'm not sure who her father is. There seems to be conflicting evidence. Sarah Crume married John Dant Aug. 11, 1860 in Decatur Co., Indiana. John was born in Pennsylvania in 1841. Susannah Crume has also been referred to as Savanah Dant. She married Cornelius Marteness in Decatur Co. Indiana October 19, 1877. He was apparently born in 1852 somewhere in Pennsylvania. He died Jan. 13, 1886 im Elmdale, Morrison, Minnesota. He and she were may great grandparents. What I find interesting is Susannah was apparently born out of wedlock. I can't seem to find out who her father is. I've just started this process however. Furthermore, I'm not getting anywhere with the Marteness side of the family. Just thought I would share this information with you.

Giving Back
Back in 2008 we were approached by Stacey Weiss, the Director of Bert's Big Adventure and one of our best clients to get involved in this amazing organization. We jumped in without hesitation and haven't looked back since. From the first send off party we planned back in 2009 to our sponsorship of the Bert's Birthday Bashes and our new involvement with the quarterly reunions we have enjoyed every moment of our involvement with this amazing group of people. We have adopted Bert's Big Adventure as our official non-profit organization and we help out in any way we can with this worthy cause.
Bert's Big Adventure is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization designed to allow children with a chronic or terminal illness to experience a magical all expenses paid weekend with their families at Walt Disney World. Because of their special needs and financial strain, this is an experience that many of these children and families would not be able to know without the help of Bert's Big Adventure. If you would like to make a donation or learn more about Bert's Big Adventure, click here. Click below to see some of the events we have helped coordinate for Bert's Big Adventure.

Contract magazine announced the winners of its second annual Inspirations Awards competition last night (April 8) at a gala ceremony at the new San Francisco Public and Urban Research Center. Sponsored by Tandus, the Inspirations Awards celebrates leadership in socially responsible design among commercial interior designers and architects.
This year Inspirations recognized two top winners in the built environment category, each of which will receive a $5,000 cash award from Tandus as a donation to the cause that their project work supported. There were also three honorable mentions in the built environment category. No top winner was awarded in the cause-related work category, but that category did receive one honorable mention.
Jurors were John Cary, executive director of Public Architecture in San Francisco; Prataap Patrose, director of urban design for the Boston Redevelopment Authority in Boston; and Susan Piedmont-Palladino, a professor at the Washington Alexandria Architecture Center of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech.
Winners were Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Louis, designed by Trivers Associates of St. Louis, and Putnam Place, Boston, designed by Tsoi/ Kobus of Boston. Honorable mentions included Building Hope and MCN Build, Washington, D.C., designed by Cooper Car_ in Atlanta; p:ear, Portland, Ore., designed by SERA Architects in Portland; the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Austin, Texas, designed by The Bommarito Group in Austin; and Zero Landfi ll, Ohio, an initiative of BeeDance.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri is the largest tenant in the adaptive reuse of a 1932 structure in the nationally-registered Midtown Historic District of St. Louis. The goal of Trivers Associates was to design a space that encourages creativity, energy, and spirit through the use of vibrant colors, varied textures, and playful furniture. The result not only attracts, inspires, and retains the non-for-profi t employees, but it also gives the Little Brothers and Sisters a place to feel comfortable and safe outside of their homes. The space has gotten BBBS a lot of attention as it attempts to grow its presence among St. Louis's youth. Trivers provided architectural services at a reduced fee in an eff ort to support the mission of the organization.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Tsoi/Kobus & Associates teamed with Commodore Builders on a "Community Build" project at Putnam Place, a group home in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood for 16- to 19-year-old boys who are transitioning from foster care to independent living. Community Build helps keep residents off the street and supports them as they study, pursue creative passions, or simply unwind. By providing a space that encourages conversation, nurtures relationships, and promotes the pursuit of individual and shared interests, the project has the opportunity to leave a lasting impression on those who live at Putnam Place now and in the future. The renovation transforms the basement of the house, owned by Cambridge Family & Children's Service, to include a lounge, music studio, wood shop, study space, and laundry room.
The design team engaged the young men in the design, and they chose Boston's MBTA transit system as their theme, citing its references to connectivity and community. As a result, the subway motif and colors are used throughout the space. The majority of the $200,000 cost of the project was pro bono.

I had " I'll Be Here For You" played at my wife's funeral in August, she liked the song very much and that was what she always told our kids that should be there to support them no matter what they did as long as she possibly could. I miss her greatly.

My Sister-In Law recently lost her sister due to to an a epaleptic seizure. I wanted to say that this this song has helped her in more way then I can express with just mere words. God Bless Ozzy.

In the Senate, Dream Act remains the stuff of dreams
All Washingtonians might be created equally, but they are not treated equally.
Many immigrant students were brought here as children by parents who entered the country illegally. It wasn't the children's doing, but it is nevertheless their reality. They aren't here because they want to take from us, but because they want to contribute. The American flag is the flag to which they pledge allegiance.
They've grown up here, they've paid taxes here and the hard work of many of their families has made our state's agricultural system one of the strongest in the world. Their aspiration is to become productive members of our communities and reach for the American dream along with everyone else. But there's a problem.
While many of these students work hard, excel in school and strive to go on to college, they face a harsh reality. Like many Washingtonians, they find the rising cost of higher education increasingly beyond their means. But unlike other Washingtonians, they are ineligible for State Need Grants. These young dreamers are being penalized simply because their parents were undocumented immigrants.
The Washington Dream Act would change that. This legislation would make all deserving students eligible for State Need Grants and able to pursue the opportunity to realize their full potential in education and in life.
The Dream Act has strong support in both chambers of the Legislature. The House passed it with a strong bipartisan majority of 77-20, including votes from 22 Republicans. The bill has majority support in the Senate as well, where a solid bipartisan majority of senators say they will vote for it. There's just one catch: Despite its support on both sides of the aisle, the Dream Act has been blocked in the Senate by the Republican majority.
It's not unusual for a caucus to kill a bill. What's unusual in this case is that the bill has strong bipartisan support on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers, including the endorsement of the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Rodney Tom. What's more, there are 10 members of the 25-member Senate majority caucus whose seatmates in the House voted for the bill.
This bill is the kind of bipartisanship that Sen. Tom claimed his majority caucus would champion. But rather than move a popular bipartisan bill forward, his caucus has twice blocked our efforts to bring it to the floor for a vote — with his complicity.
Meanwhile, in a series of accusations that don't even pass the chuckle test, Sen. Tom has said Democrats are to blame for the bill's failure to move forward. It's astounding to think that the most powerful member of the Senate blames the failure to pass a bill he claims to support not on the committee chair whom he appointed, and who has refused to put the bill to a vote, but on Democrats who support the bill and would vote for it.
Sen. Tom's primary responsibility is to the people of Washington, not the members of his caucus or their political agendas. And the people — in this case, students across our state — need more from Sen. Tom than rhetoric and excuses.
When he accepted the position of majority leader, Sen. Tom assumed the top leadership role in the Senate. After an entire legislative session and with a special session to come, we're still waiting for him to shoulder the responsibility that goes with it.
Sen. Ed Murray is the Senate Democratic Leader and the primary sponsor of The Washington Dream Act. Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles is the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Higher Education Committee and the lead co-sponsor of the bill.

Is anyone suprised that the pro-illegal alien Democrats in the Senate are throwing a fit that they didn't get even more benefits for illegal aliens this session?
When will Democrats quit prioritizing support for illegal aliens and illegal behavior over legal citizens and residents? Why do they continue to fund illegal aliens on the backs of the taxpayers of Washington State? There are finding from the State Audior about MILLIONS of dollars a year flowing to illegal aliens for non-emergency medical treatments, what are the Senators doing about it? What about the 50,000 school aged illegal aliens and children of illegal aliens that are directly impacting the funding issues that McCleary is addressing?
Time for the Democrats that have run this State for nearly three decades that they need to prioritize what is best for those who have followed the rules and are paying the bills, not illegal aliens.
Posted Tue, Apr 30, 11:13 a.m.
Yes, what about the "dreams" of millions of middle class students who find themselves in permadebt for most of their lives?
The illegal issue aside, there has to be more equitable distribution of state funds for education, medical, and dental to all poor and middle class children who need the help.
How much does the state contribute to families with multiple children for food, medical, dental, and education through college? There has to be an upper limit cap of a million or two million dollars. At some point, people who have children must incur the financial responsibility for them. Asking for several million dollars of benefits from the taxpayers is ridiculous. Instead of showing a picture of a clean cut kid on a college campus, show a picture of a family of eight holding a check from the state of WA with how much they will collect over a lifetime. That would certainly elicit a different emotional response from most people.
Posted Tue, Apr 30, 8:17 a.m.
Vote yes for the Dream Act and I will vote no on the school levy.
Posted Tue, Apr 30, 10:03 a.m.
Strong op-ed, correctly supporting the Dream Act and calling out Sen. Tom for his lack of leadership. He says he support something, but does nothing to fight for it? Not very encouraging for the rest of what he believes in. Dream Act is a bipartisan bill with bipartisan - and popular - support. What is holding back the "Majority Coalition Caucus" that pretends to be bipartisan from simply taking an up or down vote?
Posted Tue, Apr 30, 6:50 p.m.
Being a middle class Washingtonian, I am footing the majority of my sons college education through loans. We aren't rich enough to just pay for it nor poor enough to be paid to go to college. If the illegals want to go to college and the state feels obligated to pay for them to do so, here is my solution - make them go through the legalization process as soon as they turn 18, and require them to give back to the state for a set number of years while and upon receiving their education. It shouldn't be free for them, which is usually the normal initial and final response. Start requiring something from EVERYONE.
Posted Wed, May 1, 6:22 a.m.
Let's finally have a real accounting of how much the Education System in Washington State is spending on illegal aliens and the children of illegal aliens.
Now imagine the State not issuing drivers licenses to illegals, not issuing any kind of certificate or license to illegals. Mandating E-verify. With hold non-emergency benefits from illegals. The tens of thousands of illegal aliens and children of illegal aliens would leave of their own accord.

Most of us carry up to 10 million microbes on our hands. We pick up colds, flu and other illnesses via hand-to-mouth or hand-to-eyes transmission - our hands come in contact with objects that have been touched by someone with a cold or flu and pick up the bugs that caused it. For this reason, it's very important to keep your hands clean.
If your hands are visibly dirty, soap and water are best for cleansing. Sanitizing gels aren't as effective as soap and water to remove dirt, food or anything else that you can see on your hands. However, they can work well on unsoiled hands when soap and water aren't available.
Unfortunately, not all the sanitizers on the market contain enough alcohol to kill the microbes that lurk on your hands. When buying hand sanitizers, be sure to check labels carefully and choose products with alcohol concentrations of 60 to 95 percent. The alcohol in the gels strips away the outer layer of oil on the skin, killing any microbes present. For the gels to work best, you need to squeeze a dime-size dollop on your hands and rub it in for 30 seconds. If your hands dry in less time, you probably didn't use enough gel.
When you're at home, soap and water are best for cleaning your hands, but you might want to use a gel afterwards as well, especially if you're in close contact with someone at high risk for infection (newborns, the very old, or someone whose immune system is suppressed). It's also a good idea to use a hand sanitizer when you're in direct physical contact with someone who has a cold or flu, a skin infection, or diarrhea, or if you work in a child-care center, health care facility or other situation where infectious diseases are common.

Reporting: Add Date & Time Fields to Web Reports
Add the possibility to view the date/time stamp for each instance on standard reports. I'm trying to run a web browsing report on users but need time/date of browsing.

Scott Glew commented
Fastvue is a company that specializes in web reporting and we've just launched a new reporting app exclusively for Sophos UTM.
It includes a feature called 'Activity Reports' that provides a chronological list of activity grouped into browsing sessions that can be expanded to show full URLs, categories and actions.
We'd really appreciate your thoughts on the beta:

Being able to choose "Last 30 days" or 22/6 - 21/7 etc would be great for reporting.
Not all businesses have maintenance done on the 1st of the month.
Phanusin commented
It should have Date/Time of user/IP who are accessing those URLs in the report. This helps us to identify or reporting to their department head. Also in terms of forensic when we are going to find who accessed website on what date and time.

Treatment for scabies is as follows:
It is important that bedding, towels and clothing that has been worn in the previous 5 days be laundered (washed and dried on hot cycles, or dry-cleaned) at the same time you are being treated to avoid reinfestation. Close contacts that may be infested should also be checked.
If symtoms have not improved one week after treatment, a follow–up appointment should be made.

Effective February 1, 2010 there will be an increase in the IRB fees
for industry-sponsored clinical trials from $2,000 to $2,500 for initial
IRB submissions and from $500 to $750 for continuing review submissions.
Investigators submitting applications for new industry-sponsored clinical
trials need to include a line item in the budget that reflects these charges.
The IRB fee is in addition to the $2,500 Feinberg School of Medicine regulatory
preparation fee that must be included with all industry-sponsored clinical
trial budgets submitted to the Office for Sponsored Research after February
1, 2010. Trials performed through the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer
Center will continue to be subject to the Cancer Center's Clinical Research
Office's standard regulatory preparation fee.
The combined $5,000 fee should be invoiced to the sponsor by the principal
investigator. To simplify this process, a web-based invoice form referencing
the combined regulatory fee will be made available for use by investigators
by February 1, 2010, at http://www.research.northwestern.edu/oprs/irb/irbFees/.
Revenues generated by both components of the combined regulatory fee will
be deposited in study accounts as the fee is collected from sponsors.
The expenses associated with the preparation of the regulatory documents
should be charged to study accounts by the unit that has actually performed
the preparatory work. If the preparatory work is performed by the investigator
and/or department staff, appropriate salary should be charged to the study
accounts. If the preparatory work is performed by the Northwestern University
Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS), NUCATS will charge
the study accounts by electronic journal for the regulatory preparation
component. The IRB fee component will continue to be charged to the individual
study accounts by the Office for the Protection of Research Subjects.
All investigators submitting industry sponsored clinical trial materials to OPRS and to the Office for Sponsored Research (OSR) are required to include a line item in the study budget for the initial IRB review. A footnote regarding future charges for the annual fee associated with continuing review should also be included. Payment of the fee(s) is considered a contractual obligation of the sponsor. Facilities and administrative (F&A) costs should not be applied to these fees. In addition to the fee, investigators are expected to budget for and recover all costs associated with industry sponsored clinical trials. NUCATS staff review all budgets for industry sponsored trials and can assist investigators with budget preparation.
Investigators submit IRB materials to OPRS. OSR establishes a trial account (a sponsored account) when the OSR packet - which includes a completed OSR-1 form, draft agreement, sponsor budget*, study protocol*, and consent form* - is received (*may be submitted in preliminary form). OPRS charges the trial account for the IRB fee. The trial account will not be available for use by the investigator until IRB approval has been received and a fully executed agreement is in place. Upon receipt of fee payment from the sponsor, the payment is deposited in the trial account by Accounting Services for Research and Sponsored Programs (ASRSP) and appropriated by OSR. Annual review fees will be charged to the trial account until the trial has closed.
The IRB fees are assessments of real costs associated with protocol review by the IRB. If subjects are never enrolled, the study terminates before milestones are met, expenditures exceed revenue, or a contract is never finalized, the investigator and department are responsible for all expenditures not covered by the sponsor, including the initial and any annual IRB fees.
