Template talk:WikiProject Pennsylvania
WikiProject Pennsylvania | (Rated Template-class) | |||||||||||||
Why is the image so huge?[edit]
Why is the flag image on this project banner so much bigger than the images on other state project banners (such as {{WikiProject Wisconsin}}, {{WikiProject Texas}} or {{WikiProject Missouri}}, for example, which use 50px for the width)? Many other projects also limit their image size to 50px. The image on this banner is so big that it overpowers the text and other banners displayed on a talk page. Slambo (Speak) 16:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- Kudos to the project. The new version looks much better. Thanks! Slambo (Speak) 17:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
List class[edit]
I was able to successfully add the list category to the Pennsylvania classes of articles. I tried to add featured list and couldn't. Does anybody know how to do this? Dincher 20:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Could an administrator please add C-Class to this template? Thanks. --Millbrooky (talk) 18:47, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Done Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 19:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
New version of template[edit]
I've got an updated template at Template:WikiProject Pennsylvania/sandbox which uses WPBannerMeta. Any objections to using it? -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Could the Template:WikiProject Pennsylvania/sandbox version be copied over to Template:WikiProject Pennsylvania. Thanks. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Seems that the collaboration and selected options are not being used. Any objection to removing those? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Image changes[edit]
Could the code from the template sandbox be copied to here? I changed the image used to a vector image and replaced the generic portal link image. Niagara Don't give up the ship 03:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- No offense but the new template photo does not look good when you look at just the banner. What was wrong with the one before? Can someone just make the old image a vector image?--CPacker talk to me 18:20, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Sega announced today that Phantasy Star Online 2, the sequel to the highly cherished 2001 RPG will be coming to North America and Europe. The announcement comes just a week after the game launched in Japan.
"The number one thing we want to provide players in Phantasy Star Online 2 is an adventure that changes every time they log in. Just as great table-top RPG experiences revolve around imaginative and unexpected encounters, we want players to consistently be surprised as they explore dungeons and undertake quests."
We don't yet know precisely when we'll be seeing PSO2 release outside of Japan, but Sega is currently saying it will be released in "early 2013." Which might sound like a long time away, but is rapidly creeping up on us.
You can check out the game in action in the video below, or skip on over to the main site for a look at a fancy new CG trailer.

Royal Robbins shares his inspiration: High Conquest.

"So far we had little luck finding any climbing in Chile. But in a pension in Pucon there was a small photo on the wall showing a distant view of some interesting-looking cliffs, on a mountaintop above some woods.

I read my way through the school library and then the local town library, seeking out more adventures and experiences on the written page, so that I could gauge my own faltering beginnings in the sport."


text: I think that if there is a resurgence in interest in film (and I think that there could be) it will help the film and supply companies much sooner than the camera companies. There are still tons of used cameras that are much too cheap considering what they originally sold for. Even folks like myself who are more inclined to buy new cannot even begin to consider it when used might be one tenth the price. Hopefully someone will survive, and others will get back into the business, once there is a viable market for new film cameras.

The Alliance celebrates its 10th birthday
This month we are marking the milestone of ten years as a successful coaching business. It feels like a significant moment, a testament to the foresight, commitment and professionalism of The Alliance's founding members, most of whom are still very much part of the business. At our 100th meeting (a milestone in itself!), we reflected on some of the things we wanted to celebrate about The Alliance: see here for our Top Ten!
Juan Coto gives Meyler Campbell Annual Lecture
We are proud to share the news that on 26th November our very own Juan Coto gave the annual Meyler Campbell lecture on 'The Corporate Athlete: Coaching to build resilience and maximise peak performance'. A former international tennis player himself, Juan explained the key principles of human performance in the toughest, high-pressure environments and shared a set of mental performance tools used by world-class athletes which can be applied equally effectively in business. Look out for a summary of his lecture, coming soon.
Christmas Tea with Carol Kauffman
Several of us had the pleasure of attending this event, during which Professor Carol Kauffman, founder of the Institute of Coaching at Harvard, presented her thought-provoking views of supervision and participated in a lively Q&A with the audience of curious coaches. Memorable points of discussion included the misleading nature of the term 'supervision' ('development coach' emerged as a possible alternative); the idea that it's not what you know and do as a coach that's important, but who you are and so ongoing professional and self-development is essential to keep coaches on top form; and the suggestion that the artful wisecrack is a high-end coaching intervention! As a taster of the zingy experience, amongst Carol's statements were 'I am a demented servant of my client' and 'never take a supervisor's gut instinct over your own'. Rarely are mince pies accompanied by such pithy and valuable information!

Ray from St.Louis,Mo.
The head unit I decided to use fits well inside of this product. It looks nice and seems to do the job of supporting the stereo. The only draw back is the plastic it's made of seems to be a bit brittle, when it arrived, one of the mounting side brackets was broken. However, Sonic's customer service was fantastic and sent out another and I received it in a couple of days.

A POLISH man has strung a raft of twigs and branches together and floated in shark and crocodile-filled waters from PNG to Australia in cyclonic conditions.
Locals in Sigabadura village had attempted to dissuade the man, named Vazlavand aged in his 20s, from taking to 1.5 metre swells generated by Cyclone Oswald to drift 3km to Australia.
Weather was so poor when he set off that all commercial aircraft were unable to fly in the region and police in the capital of Daru in Western Province, PNG had feared he would drift off course in strong currents.
Australian Maritime Safety officials knew the man had taken to the sea in his flimsy raft, but had difficulty launching a helicopter search because of the cyclonic conditions.
After his death defying journey, the man was found, stranded in mangroves, by locals on Saibai Island in the Torres Strait at 4pm on Wednesday.


text: DAYTON, Ohio — The season that began with the highest of expectations and top-10 rankings ended with red eyes, slumped shoulders and little explanation. North Carolina State's season wasn't supposed to go like this. It wasn't supposed to end on the first Friday of the NCAA tournament, a round-of-64 loss to No. 9 seed Temple, 76-72. It wasn't supposed to end with the coach calling his players out for being immature at times this season and lacking focus defensively at others.

Anyone hoping for a Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reconciliation can put their hope towards another cause because Ben's wife Jennifer Garner has announced she is pregnant with their third child!
According to the Associated Press, a one-sentence statement released Monday says the actors are "thrilled" to have another baby on the way. The couple has two daughters, 5-year-old Violet and 2-year-old Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.
While Affleck and Garner's relationship always seemed like one of the most stable in Hollywood, there have been hopes of a reconnection with old flame Jennifer Lopez – especially now that she has divorced her ex-husband Marc Anthony. If anything, the timing seemed perfect.
But, alas, Garner and Affleck have put that hope to rest as another child is now on the way. And in my opinion, it'd be really nice for them to have a boy this time.
And if we're talking names, I think Matt has a nice ring to it. What do you think?
Below, check out recent photos of Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, and her baby bump!

Rob G - For the Hood (Remix) ft. Dallas Blocker & Rick Ross
Artist: Rob G
Featuring: Dallas Blocker, Rick Ross
Producer: Beanz & Kornbread
Album: The Inauguration
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 31 votes )
Rob G. has always been forced to act older than his age. When he was 12 years old, his father died of cancer, leaving him the man of the house. At the age of 13, he was already getting into small-time hustling to support his family. By the time he turned 20, he was already deep into the drug trade and had a wife and son of his own. Now, the young Houstonian is calling himself "the next Latin legend" of rap. Whether or not you agree with him, you can't question the fact that he's got more street cred than most rappers could ever dream of (lucky guy…). After creating a little buzz with his single For The Hood, featuring Dallas Blocker, the Houston rapper swells up its commercial appeal by getting Rick Ross to jump on the remix. The track is produced by Beanz & Kornbread, and will appear on his debut album, The Inauguration.

Canal dredging would yield mud to beef up barrier islands
Published: Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at 11:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at 11:19 a.m.
HOUMA -- State officials will use just half of the mud dredged from the Houma Navigation Canal as part of routine maintenance to reinforce barrier islands. The rest will be dumped in the Gulf of Mexico.
The reason? It would cost too much to transport it all to the islands that need to be rebuilt.
The parish, which has long advocated that dredge materials be used for coastal-restoration projects, has asked why the state is letting a good resource go to waste.
"Wetland restoration and barrier-island restoration should be our priority," said Terrebonne Parish Councilman Peter Rhodes. "I think every dredging project, before its allowed to go through, should involve some sort of beneficial use for the spoil."
The dredging to be performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is not a part of a plan to deepen the canal to 20 feet, said Parish Manager Barry Blackwell. It is routine maintenance designed to keep the canal at its currently authorized depth of 14 feet.
Parish officials advocate delaying a proposed deepening project, which would increase the canals depth to 20 feet to match the design of a lock planned for the waterway. The deepening should be postponed, they agree, until after the lock is in place to protect Houma from increased risk of flooding. The lock is included in the Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection system, which is pending federal authorization in Congress.
Blackwell said the parish has talked with state and corps officials about using dredge material for coastal-restoration projects before and all involved understand the wisdom of doing so. Blackwell said he is confident the state intends to do so. This particular dredging project just evolved quicker than usual, and there wasnt time to come up with the money needed to ship the spoil to the islands.
"The situation was much more rapid than it has historically been," said Blackwell. "It caught the corps off guard."
Several million dollars that had been allocated for a rock-stabilization project on the bank of the Intracoastal had to be shifted to the dredging project in order for it to be even considered.
Initially corps officials decided not to use any of the dredged materials for restoration, but Blackwell said parish officials met with the state to voice their concerns. Finally, the Department of Natural Resources stepped in and gave the corps $2 million to pump 500,000 cubic feet of spoil onto Wine Island, a barrier island off Terrebonne.
Sometimes dredged material is too organic to be used for restoration projects. There needs to be a high sand content for these projects to better resist erosion.
But in this case, the Department of Natural Resources said the projects location, on the Gulf of Mexicos edge, doesnt lend itself to using all the dredged material; the other half will be spread in the Gulf of Mexico.
"I think the state fully understands that our position is to maximize the use of this in the future," Blackwell said.
But Rhodes said the state should pony up the extra money needed to use all spoil in restoration projects.

April 15 , besides being tax day, is the first day that owners of semi-automatic weapons will be required to register their guns with the state police. Gun owners who do want to comply say they are confused over how to register.
Now that the state budget is done, the focus at the Capitol shifts to some other priorities, including whether to allow medical marijuana. Advocates came to the Capitol to lobby lawmakers, but the bill is getting bogged down over political skirmishes.
Governor Cuomo hosted a second beer, wine, spirits, and now, cider summit, to showcase one of the state's few growth industries.
The state's comptroller says he won't be participating in a new pilot public campaign finance program agreed to in the state budget, and government reform groups say, they don't blame him.
A new record has been reached in spending on lobbying in New York, according to a report released by the state's ethics commission. It finds over $200 million was spent, mostly by a few top interests, to try to influence government and policy in Albany.
The U.S. Supreme court decision McCutcheon v. FEC, striking down some campaign donation limits, is expected to have an effect in New York. Reform advocates say Governor Cuomo and lawmakers missed a key chance this week to counter act the ruling.
The recently enacted state budget also marks the end of a commission that was investigating corruption in the legislature. Governor Cuomo agreed to dismantle the Moreland Act panel as part of a deal on ethics reform.
Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders are touting the virtues of the newly enacted state budget, but the spending plan has its share of critics.
Lawmakers were hurrying late Monday to complete work on the state budget before the midnight deadline, but the spending plan is not without some controversy.
The state's Comptroller says test public campaign finance plan that would apply only to his office is "seriously flawed", and might even be unworkable.
Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders have finalized the details on a $138 billion state budget and say they are on track to meet tonight's deadline. The budget includes a multi-step plan that could lower property taxes and $340 million for schools to start pre-K programs.
Governor Cuomo and state lawmakers have agreed to a very limited form of campaign finance reform in the state budget, it would only apply to the state Comptroller's race.
Legislative leaders say they are working together and are close to a budget agreement, after a blow up that left the Senate and Assembly leaders negotiating separately with Governor Cuomo.
Education funding advocates, including actress Cynthia Nixon, made a last-minute pitch for extra money for schools in the state budget. Meanwhile, a new poll finds many New Yorkers think the quality of education in the state is deteriorating.
The next several days will be crucial for negotiations on the state budget.
Governor Cuomo and legislative leaders continue to meet behind closed doors to hash out a budget deal, while outside the governor's offices around 25 angry protesters were arrested.
Government reform activists took their smart phones into Assembly Committee meetings to live stream meetings that so far have not been available on line to the public.
Supporters of Dream Act legislation say they were "set up" when a hastily arranged vote on the bill in the Senate chamber late Monday led to the measure's failure by just one vote. The focus is now shifting to Governor Cuomo. Backers say they will try to get the governor to put the measure into the state budget.
The Dream Act is dead for now in New York State, after the State Senate voted down the measure that would have granted college tuition aid to the children of undocumented immigrants.
The Senate and Assembly are set to begin conference committee meetings today, now that both houses have finished with their resolutions laying out their positions.
Assembly Democrats say there should be more money for schools and the environment, and major changes to Governor Cuomo's plan to freeze property taxes.
The state legislature replaced one member of the State Board of Regents, but allowed three others to remain, in elections held for the state's top educational policy board. The vote featured complaints from Republican Senators who voted against all of the candidates.
Senate Republicans say they will break a long standing tradition of boycotting the election of new Regents. They now say they will attend a joint legislative session and that many will vote 'no' over dissatisfaction with the Common Core. It is uncertain whether all four of the incumbent Regents members will be reelected.
On Wednesday, both houses of the legislature are due to release their one-house budget proposals, which they will then use to negotiate a final spending plan with Governor Cuomo. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says Assembly Democrats are not yet on board with part of Cuomo's plan to cut the estate tax.
A top Republican county official from New York City's northern suburbs is officially launching his uphill fight to unseat Governor Andrew Cuomo.
A Republican appears poised to become the first to officially announce his candidacy in this year's race for governor. After weeks of speculation, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino Wednesday will begin what most believe will be an uphill climb, against Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Governor Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke at dueling rallies on education at the State Capitol Tuesday that highlighted the two politicians' differences over education issues.
The deadline for the state budget is approaching and education issues are taking center stage. One day before massive rallies for universal pre-K and charter schools, other advocates said Monday they have gathered evidence for potentially another lawsuit for more state aid for schools.
Assembly Democrats on Tuesday passed a one-house version of the Dream Act, a bill to give college aid to the children of undocumented immigrants. They urged the Senate to follow suit.

The Plan, developed using new deployment software, utilizes Fire Department dispatch data to model resource coverage based on response times, call frequency and incident types with each fire station district. This data-driven approach replaces the current rotating resource closures of the MCP with Fire company closures, redeployments, realignment of resources and flex staffing that re- focuses emergency response to match the makeup and distribution of emergency call loads. Example: Reduces deployment of ladder trucks in South Los Angeles–which has few structures taller than three stories–and replaces them with additional ambulances to meet higher needs for emergency medical services The Plan redeploys 318 Sworn Firefighters and deletes these position authorities over three years.

Employees must begin to contribute towards a greater share of these costs to ensure that benefits are available for current and future employees. A tentative labor agreement has been negotiated with the Coalition of LA City Unions, which includes an employee contribution of 4% of pay for retiree health benefits. The Agreement is pending ratification by union members and final approval by the City Council. Absent any final agreements, furloughs have been included in the 2011-12 Proposed Budget as a fiscally responsible measure to balance the budget (26 days for employees that will not receive cost of living increases and 36 days for employees that are scheduled to receive cost of living increases).

Mytilus trossulus Gould and M. edulis L. coexist in mixed populations in Atlantic Canadian waters. Although there is evidence that the two species hybridize in natural populations and that hybrids produce progeny through backcrosses, no study of the microgeographic distribution of the two forms and their hybrids has been made. Here we examine subtidal samples of mussels taken in July 1997 from two locations in eastern Newfoundland (Canada) and from wave-exposed and protected environments within each location. Shell lengths ranged from 15 to about 90 mm. Mussels were classified as pure forms or hybrids (F1, F2 and from backcrosses) based on four diagnostic markers, two allozyme loci (Mpi and Est-D) and two nuclear PCR-based DNA markers (ITS and Glu-5). In addition, a PCR-based mtDNA marker (COIII) was used to characterize the distribution of mtDNA mitotypes among pure and hybrid individuals. There were differences in the proportions of pure M. edulis and M. trossulus between sites and between environments at one location. M. trossulus was the predominant species at one of the two exposed sites. In all four samples, M. trossulus was also the predominant form among small individuals. The frequency of hybrids was 26% overall and did not differ among samples. Hybrids consisted mostly of backcrosses that were M. trossulus-biased among small mussels and M. edulis-biased among large ones. We conclude that both intrinsic genetic factors and extrinsic environmental factors influence the relative frequency of M. edulis, M. trossulus and their hybrids.

Because I lost my father so recently, I haven't had much holiday spirit this Thanksgiving season. He visited me in September and we had Thanksgiving when he was here. I'm more grateful for that dinner than I can ever express.
Anyway, my mother-in-law took us out for dinner today, which would not usually be my preference, but it was fine this year.
I made careful choices at the buffet (no menu option was offered today), and just finished adding up the total for the mid-afternoon meal: 1067!
I don't *feel* like I just ate that much. In fact, I'll probably feel hungry later. I was careful to record everything as accurately as I could, but seriously, I can't get over how many calories I just ate.
I kind of wish I felt uncomfortably full. Maybe it would have been worth it.
At least I took time to walk this morning. Five miles, 90 minutes, no running today ... yesterday's good run (I did the last of my four miles in 12:37!) took its toll!
Hope your turkey was juicy and your whipped cream didn't separate. If the potatoes were lumpy, I'm sure you meant them to turn out that way. Heh. And if you're heading out for Black Friday tomorrow, be careful: It's a jungle out there!

ADHS will be performing maintenance on the Medical Marijuana systems starting on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 10 PM expected to be completed by Sunday, January 25, 2015 at 4 AM. During this time, Medical Marijuana Online Registry Applications will be unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience this maintenance downtime may cause. If the process is completed earlier, the systems will be made available at an earlier time.
Division of Behavioral Health Services
Synetics (Drug & Alcohol Services Information System) DASIS
Summary: The Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS) was developed by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to comply with Section 505 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 290aa-4). This act requires that the Secretary of Health and Human Services collect annual data on the number and variety of public substance abuse treatment programs, the number of individuals seeking treatment through such programs and their demographic characteristics. The data is available electronically on the SAMHSA website (samhsa.gov) for Arizona and the nation, and is made available in an annual report to Congress on the status of the national system of substance abuse treatment programs.
Funds provided under this revenue contract with Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc. support administrative needs associated with processing and submitting data to the DASIS system, as well as in developing internal expertise in substance abuse data collection and reporting. Funds are paid on a quarterly basis to support data processing staff, data collection and equipment. There is no match or maintenance of effort requirement associated with DASIS. Requirements of the ADHS under this contract are:
(1) process and submit quarterly treatment episode data (TEDS), including participation in annual technical assistance workshops as scheduled;
(2) assist in the annual facility survey through a letter of endorsement process and updating of facility listing on-line; and
(3) complete an annual questionnaire detailing how facilities are licensed and funded in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has participated in this national data collection activity since the late 1980s. In particular, the DASIS system supports the role of ADHS as the single state agency recipient of the Substance Abuse Block Grant. Specific measurement of client well-being and outcome are a required component of the Grant beginning FFY 05.
Please direct any comments to Grants Management.

"Ho hum at best"
Story was a bit forced to fit the tale ... which it never did ... but the biggest offense was in the reading. It sounded mechanical and difficult to get through. Not an enjoyable listen for me.
"Breathy romance novel goes all zombie"
So the dialogue is ridiculous, characters shallow and predictable, plot silly .... and I'll definitely read the next two! If your expectations are low enough, this can be a fun listen. Certainly helps to have the wonderful Cassandra Campbell narrating it.
"And Sookie rides off into the sunset with a wimper"
I'm glad Ms. Harris is letting this series end, she seems to have lost her energy for this story some time ago. And this last installment is pretty low energy as well. The main bright spot, as usual, is Johanna Parker's narration, which, over time, seems like a good friend telling me a long boring story. No matter the lack of plot or action, I just like hearing her talk to me. I think I'll wander over to the "Bloodhound" series so she can keep talking to me; who knows, maybe there will be a good story too ...
"Fun read!"
Fun and light, well paced and well read. Not life changing literature but you got to like a good story told well.
"fun romp"
What a cool short listen ... my only complaint is that I wanted more when it was done.
"another great post-apocalyptic offering"
Great story, sucked me in from the beginning and never let up ... and great ending. My only star off was that the reader did not do male voices very well and I found that every time one "spoke" I was distracted by that. Her performance of the story other than that detail was excellent.
This is essential reading for those who wish to be extremely nervous. Normally I'm a pretty relaxed person ... currently I'm walking around in a panic at how vulnerable we all are. Great Book!! (?)
"A new favorite"
The narration of Arthur has to be among the best audible performances to date. Beautifully paced, vulnerable and with a gentle timbre brought this story to life in a way that a simple read could never have done. Definitely on the list of great books made better by the performance of their reading.
"Great listen"
Well narrated stylistic future world, great visual build. Storyline is weaker than storytell but overall good listening experience. Would recommend it.
"Great addition to the Dark Tower series"
It was great revisiting our intrepid heroes of the Dark Tower and spending a bit of time with them after all these years. And the story within the story within the story trick was ambitious and well done. Great yarn in the end. My only complaint is that Mr. King probably would do better by letting someone else read his books. Not much inflection, characters run together, and raspy. The only pleasant part of his voice was the memories of my heavy smoker grandfather who told lots of stories when I was younger.

Billed as the UK's only true Kyoto restaurant, Umu specializes in kaiseki cuisine, which originates from Japan's ancient capital, and is the most refined and expressive way to serve Japanese food—not to mention the most expensive. Waiters thoroughly explain the complicated menus, and then quietly disappear only to return with plate after plate of high culinary art taken to an extreme by head chef Yoshinori Ishii, who once worked at Japan's Michelin three-starred Kyoto Kitcho. Dramatic dark wood interiors are moodily matched with low lighting and velvet banquettes, an atmosphere fit for the undeniably well to do crowd.

"New Hampshire Caucuses" — Perry's latest gaffe
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is cementing his position as the not-ready-for-prime-time player in Republicans' crowded presidential field.
