Dundee kitesurfer killed at Lincoln City
Jul 4, 2014 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
LINCOLN CITY — Wyle "Dale" Johnson, 49, of Dundee, has been identified by the Oregon State Police as the kitesurfer who died about 5 p.m. Thursday in the ocean off the beach at Roads End Recreation Site, located on the east end of Lincoln City.
Johnson was a member of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was a lieutenant at Station 35 in King City.
"Fellow firefighters said Dale loved his crew, his job and was someone who was passionate about everything he did — be it work or play," Tualatin Valley spokesperson Cassandra Ulven said. "He was an avid kitesurfer and enjoyed his time on the water."
OSP was notified that an adult male was being transported to Samaratin North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City after being found by a friend unresponsive in the water while kitesurfing. CPR was administered on the beach by the friend and fire personnel, but Johnson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to OSP, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Pac West ambulance and Lincoln City police also responded.
Johnson started his career as a volunteer firefighter in Jackson County, Oregon, according to a release issued by Tualatin Valley. In 1995, he joined the agency as a firefighter/paramedic, and in 2006, was promoted to lieutenant.
Since 2011, Johnson was assigned to the King City station.
"Dale Johnson was a good firefighter, a good lieutenant and a good man," Tualatin Valley Chief Mike Duyck said. "The men and women at TVF&R will miss him, and our hearts go out to his family."

Its a 1minute walk from the beach, not the best beach but if your happy to walk for 5mins there's nicer parts. We stayed in basic bungalow with fan. Lots of mossies in the bathroom, coming in through a hole in the floor. Room was basic but fine otherwise. Stayed 3 nights. Would of stayed longer if room had fridge, WiFi or tv. Sadly it rained our three days and there's only so much rummy playing you can do.

They've been around for 30years and it grows as times goes by. Sugar, the owner, is the second generation of the owner. You know they're very well connected with other travel agents/services on the island. Very nice pool especially when you just want to stay at the hotel. Ask them about anything for your trip and they'll have the answer for you. You could only connect to the internet at the lounge-not at your room.

This place has so much potential, unfortunately the staff are not very helpful, give one price for services then charge double. If you want a bed for a few nights on the cheap it works, the pool is nice too, but don't get excited about the nearby 'beach', it's a 30m strip of sand, go a bit further afield for decent beaches. I wasn't impressed with this place and moved on after 2 days, other places on the island offer much better for the same price.

Initially booked for few days but decided to extend for our whole stay on the Thai islands. For the fan bungalows I think the best choice on the island. Resort is beautiful, nice swimming pool, good food in restaurant and design of the interior is very tasteful. Close to the beach (2 min.) which is beautiful and peaceful. Rent a motorbike to go to the other beaches.

Study points on it
By Trini-mystique on Dec 19, 2012
Lots of info and to the point. Great for studying and being used as a refresher will recommend it to any manager
Great book teaching the basics and more of HR
By Brandon Taylor on May 21, 2010
This book is amazing. It makes learning the basic of human resources so easy and interesting. Before I read this book, I was unaware of how many aspects of HR there was. It really helps anyone learn the basics. The text brings up real-world examples and scenarios that really make it fun to read. If you are an instructor, please do your students a favor and choose this book. The price is really high for such a small book but it really is worth it due to how well it explains the material. Oh yeah, I have no affiliation with the publisher and am basing this review on the twelfth edition.
Human Resource Management Text
By Johnny Wiley Iii on Sep 06, 2009
I am a graduate student studying Leadership and Organization. This text has helped me better understand the role of the human resources department within an organization. The text provides information that is both practical and useful in working in an organization. There is much importance in how the human resources department deals with understanding employee rights and laws and staying within compliance.
Is it really worth so much??
By T. Carr on Jul 09, 2009
I have just started my class that uses this book. It seems like a fairly good book. It's organized well enough. But it was $100! And when you get it, it's a lot smaller and shorter of a book than I was expecting for some reason. My professor said that the 12th edition was different enough from the 11th that we couldn't use the old one or we would be lost.
Required book for my class
By Keith A. Rosdahl on Jan 27, 2013
The book was adequate for my class. Although after purchasing it and reading it, I had wished I purchased it from another website because they offered the book and the digital copy for just a little bit more combined . . . that would have been really helpful!
Good, but surprisingly there are spelling/grammar errors!
By Yiayiamouse on May 17, 2012
The content of the text is good. I don't find it difficult to read and it serves the purpose for my course. Truth be told, the content could be communicated in far fewer words, and the editor should be coached for improved attention to detail as there are several spelling and/or usage errors in the book. Whatever, though; it works and with textbooks for courses it is not like there are options.

As part of its collaboration with the European Journalism Centre, RIA Novosti has translated and published online a Russian-language version of The Data Journalism Handbook.
The Data Journalism Handbook is a free, open-source book that aims at helping journalists to use data to improve journalism. For data-driven journalism the accuracy of data analysis and the evaluation of an event's significance are more important than the speed of publication.
"We are delighted to see the release of the Russian edition of The Data Journalism Handbook. Overall we're very pleased that there has been such great interest in translating and localising the book by NGOs and media organisations around the world. So far over four hundred people have approached us regarding translations in over 40 languages – which is testimony to the demand there is for a resource like this, and to the value of the contributions we've had", said Jonathan Gray, Head of Community at the Open Knowledge Foundation and co-editor of The Data Journalism Handbook.
The book reveals the tips and techniques of leading media professionals as well as journalists, professors, software developers and data analysts for how to get started with data journalism.
«The data journalism is a comparatively new concept in Russia, but it definitely has a bright future ahead. As in many other fields, RIA Novosti is indeed inclined to pioneer it" – said head of corporate training center RIA Novosti Oleg Shedrov.
It is divided into seven chapters, one of which focuses on case studies. Other chapters include "What is Data Journalism," "Your Right to Data," "Become Data Literate in 3 Simple Steps," "How to Hire a Hacker," and many more.
The project was launched at the last fall's Mozilla Festival, dedicated to Internet technologies in modern media. The book was first unveiled to the public in Perugia, Italy, in late April.
The original English copy of the book was released as an online version earlier this year in April and was also published as an ebook and in hardcopy format by O'Reilly Media in July. It is the result of an international, collaborative effort involving dozens of data journalism's leading advocates and best practitioners - including from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, the Chicago Tribune, Deutsche Welle, the Guardian, the Financial Times, Helsingin Sanomat, La Nacion, the New York Times, Pro Publica, the Washington Post, the Texas Tribune, Verdens Gang, Wales Online, Zeit Online and many others. The project is coordinated by the European Journalism Centre and the Open Knowledge Foundation.
Both the original English version and the Russian translation are freely available online under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, which means that they can be freely copied, redistributed and reused under the terms of the license. The Russian version of the Data Journalism Handbook can be found at the Library section of RIA Novosti's Corporate Training Center http://ria.ru/library/. The English version can be found at www.datajournalismhandbook.org.
The European Journalism Centre is an independent, international, non-profit institute dedicated to the highest standards in journalism, primarily through the further training of journalists and media professionals

Arkansas Education Officials Announce Program To Increase Higher Ed Degrees
Arkansas education officials are announcing a program they say will help with Governor Mike Beebe's initiative to double the number of Arkansans with college degrees by 2025.
Noting "some college is better than no college," education officials say they'll use a grant from the Kresge Foundation to put a system in place so the state's community colleges and universities can blend student information.
The idea is that associates degrees would be awarded to students who transferred to a university from a two-year college and have amassed enough credits for a diploma.
Shane Broadway, the interim director of the Arkansas Department of Education, says statistics show nearly half of Arkansas students who transfer from a two-year school to a university don't go on to obtain a bachelor's degree.
Broadway says they hope to eventually put a system in place that offers degrees to students who transfer between four-year public colleges and eventually even students who transfer between any type of college in the state, public or private.

Looks like it would be a good product to fix a multitude of basment issues, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with it. |

No experience, but one question for the experts: By putting a product like this on the interior of a basement, sure it may keep the interior of the basement dry, but if water is wicking into the walls from outside, and you eliminate any way for that moisture to evaporate, wouldn't that cause problems within the concrete? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep water from wicking into the concrete by sealing the basement from the outside? Somehow their arguments strike a b.s. nerve with me. I'm sure the product does what it's supposed to, I'm just questioning the method of application... |
- Posted by sweet11395 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 8, 07 at 22:35
well several things...it is actually better than most of the systems out there like interior french drains, the "baseboard" drainage, and poor coatings like DryLoc...the systems that let water into the interior and then evacuate it via a sump pump acually INCREASE the flow of water through the blocks and thus increases mineral leaching from the foundation block lessening the integrity and strength of the cement. Coating the outside is logically the best solution to prevent any water from entering the interior of the foundation wall (if hollow concrete block)....but this method does NOT seal the cold joint between the foundation footer and basement floor which is under the outside wall....thous you would have to dig BELOW the foundation and undercut it to get up under there and seal it....if you don't any water that is repelled by an outside coating will sink further in the earth and is fast enough can actually "back up" through this cold joint and you notice it as ater leaking in between the wall and floor on the inside of the basment....the SANITRED claim is that thier method is the ONLY way to unsure you stop any and ALL water whether it be 1)water entering through holes, cracks in the exterior hollow block wall and filling the cavities and then coming in through the floor wall junction 2) water coming in through exterior cracks that go all the way through the wall and allow direct acess for the water 3) and any water that may push up through the cold joint between the floor and foundation footing 4) lastly any water that may come up through cracks in the floor do to high water tables, poor draining soil SANITRED uses the "reverse swimming pool" effect...it forms a uniform uninterrupted envelope of polymer covering every inch of the basement (walls and floor)...this despite what some claim will not increase lateral pressure to a dangerous level and cause walls to fail because the water which normally trickes into the basement will slowly be absorbed away from the foundation by the surrounding soil..if you have water gushing into your basement then thats a different story....I'd advise not using it..but this stuff has been used in industry for large water holding tanks, water damns, tunnels, sewers, etc.......this is a great system and I know of two friends who have used it sucessfully in two demanding situations. They are going on 5yrs and 12yrs with theirs and the foundation is structurally sound....I am going to begin prepping my basement (which has minor leak at cold joint and a small crack in another section)for application to stop the minor water leaks and reduce the radon emission....I am a chemist and am very skeptical about things and I've researched this problem and this product to death and feel it is worthy of my house....so take it or leave it as my opinion |

Ratfink Writes New Book
Such gorgeous weather we've been enjoying in New York. Good-to-be-alive weather, driving the blues away. The news has also cooperated with this morale lift. The Yankees went down in shabby defeat in the first round of the playoffs, igniting a welter of recriminations, which is always fun. The Mets advanced, inspiring Proustian memories of Mookie Wilson. The Eagles put a clamp on the Cowboys and T.O.'s fat mouth. The poll numbers for the midterms have been looking rather chipper. It would take a lot to spoil the splendor of this Indian summer interlude.
Then I opened my mail yesterday.
I got a lot of mail, much of it forwarded in boxes and bags from Vanity Fair. As a vital node in the cultural nexus of the universe, I'm understandably on the receiving end of a ton of personal mail, press releases, book galleys, preview DVDs, and similar various assorted crap. I sort through the mounting debris quickly, efficiently, tearing open envelopes and cardboard casings with my rugged Chuck Norris hands as the cats sneeze from the envelope-pad fluff. Most of the mail is mundane, routine. But every once in a while I receive something that gives me pause, spurs a reaction.
As when yesterday I received the galley of Dinesh D'Souza's new book from Doubleday, The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11, to be published in January 2007.
It isn't rare that I take instant animus against a book like this. But I don't tend to react right away. The responsible thing for me to do as an occasional book critic is to wait until the official pub date, find a suitable venue for review, and thrash the book based on its merits.
But this is a special book, deserving special mistreatment. With The Enemy at Home, I prefer to do the irresponsible thing and declare war on Dinesh D'Souza and his stinking mackerel of a book starting now. I intend to pound this scurrilous piece of scapegoating at every convenient opportunity. It is long past due that the likes of Ramesh Ponnuru (Death Party A-Go-Go), Jonah Goldberg (Hillary Clinton Was Himmler's Mistress), and now D'Souza be put on notice that they are not going to get away with vilifying liberals, mainstream Democrats, radical thinkers, academics, and entertainers as traitors and terrorist sympathizers. They want to wage culture war? Then, to quote Nabokov, they should brace themselves and prepare for the next crash. They want to practice character assassination? They've picked the wrong time, the wrong adversary.
It's one thing when Michael Savage or Ann Coulter denounce liberals as heathen traitors. One spouts halitosis on the radio, the other is an exhibitionist hag; both cater to their fan base. But D'Souza isn't some low-grade, high-volume performance artist. He's a research scholar at the Hoover Institution at Stanford, which he thanks in the acknowledgments "for providing me with the institutional support to do my work." D'Souza writes, speaks, and thinks like something hatched in a think tank--a careerist toady.
The theme of the book is quite simple, and vile.
"In this book I make a claim that will seem startling at the outset. The cultural left in this country is responsible for causing 9/11."
Then the qualifiers begin multiplying. The term 'cultural left' doesn't refer to the Democratic Party, nor to all liberals. (Peter Beinart presumably gets a pass.) Nor is he saying that cultural lefties actually brought the towers down. He isn't so rash as to suggest Molly Ivins piloted one of the planes, parachuting to safety before impact. So what is he saying?
"I am saying that the cultural left and its allies in Congress, the media, Hollywood, the nonprofit sector [profiteers are always patriots, of course], and the universities are the primary cause of the volcano of anger toward America that is erupting from the Islamic world."
Note well: the primary cause. Not the treatment of the Palestinians, the caging and starving of those on the Gaza Strip, the hundreds of thousands of clusterbomb droplets left behind in Lebanon, the U.S. military bases on Arab soil, Abu Ghraib, the Mideast tyrannies propped up by American money and influence--these are secondary. Muslims are angry, D'Souza concedes, but they are mostly angry because their anger has been fueled and fanned by the cultural left.
"Thus without the cultural left, 9/11 would not have happened."
I like that "Thus," as if he's actually proven something.
"I realize that this is a strong charge," D'Souza writes, "one that no one has made before."
The reason it hasn't been made before is that it's a sleazy, shameless, ignorant, ahistorical, tendentious, meretricious lie, one that was waiting for the right brazen liar to come along to promote it, and here he is, and his name is Dinesh D'Souza, who's fatuous and fuddy-duddyish enough to think that it's Britney Spears, the rap lyrics of 2 Live Crew, and the buggering photographs of the late Robert Mapplethorpe that have Islam in a tiz. This is someone so out of touch with pop culture that he thinks liberals look down on risque sitcoms like Will & Grace because "their moral depravity is not highbrow enough for their taste." Does that description fit anyone you know? D'Souza blunders on: "Sophisticated liberals prefer plays like The Mistress Cycle, described by New York Times reviewer Miriam Horn as featuring 'four women from remote places and times, all of whom have slept with men not their husbands."
Not only haven't I (a semi-sophisticated liberal) ever heard of The Mistress Cycle, I'd never heard of Miriam Horn (she must be the fourth string critic, after Brantley, Charles Isherwood, and whoever else available is wandering around Times Square), and when I Googled Horn's review, look what I found:
"As five women in blood red prowl the stage, the audience is primed for a witty, candid journey into their lives.
"But the show remains little more than an outline, and more song cycle than musical."
Far from fawning over The Mistress Cycle, the Times reviewer thought the evening fell short of what it might have been. Which runs contrary to the impression D'Souza is trying to leave.
Here is a small example of D'Souza's dishonesty as a polemicist. He quotes the Times reviewer giving her blessings by writing, "These are mysterious, original, daring women." But he omits the rest of Horn's sentence, to wit: "they deserve less gentle treatment."
So, far from embracing The Mistress Cycle because its prejudices were being stroked, the Times found it slight and lacking in rigor, its characters overindulged.
A paragraph below this, D'Souza makes a tired Buchananite reference to Piss Christ, so tired that its creator is misnamed as Jose Serrano. It's Andres Serrano, of course, which any philistine should know. Perhaps the name will be corrected when the book is published, but there is no way to correct falsehoods such as labeling "Jose Serrano" a "liberal hero," because these are fancies lodged in the penny arcade of D'Souza's dim imagination.
How inept is he?
At the end of the book he rises on his hind legs to confront the enemy within and name those doing America dirt and making life easier for Al Qaeda. He breaks the enemy within down into categories. The Congressional Left. The Intellectual Left. The Hollywood Left. The Activist Left. The Cultural Left. The Foreign Policy Left. And so on.
He puts Gore Vidal in the Foreign Policy Left. Doesn't Vidal--novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, TV performer--more properly belong in the Cultural Left? And what is Joe Conason, whose work is 99% pure political, doing in the Cultural Left with Eve Ensler and Tony Kushner?
Moreover, how can George Galloway, Robert Fisk, and Arundhati Roy be considered the "enemy at home" when they don't even live in this country? To D'Souza, being dead (Edward Said) or politically defunct (Cynthia McKinney, defeated in her reelection bid, is nonetheless listed in the Congressional Left alongside such Bolsheviks as Ed Markey and Patty Murray)* is no disqualification for treasonhood.
There is no Democrat, living or dead, D'Souza won't stoop to slime. When a Sunni Arab speaker of the Iraqi Assembly says that his dream is to be the Tip O'Neill of Iraq, D'Souza snarks, "Recalling O'Neill's resemblance to our federal government--big, fat, and out of control--I am not ordinarily excited to find a man who wants to emulate Tip O'Neill. But I wish al-Hassani good luck." D'Souza is such a patronizing little shit, such an odious shyster that he disparages John Murtha--whose heartfelt anger and grief over how the mishandled war in Iraq is mauling our military ought to shame D'Souza--as a sockpuppet for Osama bin Laden. "Hey, this man served his country! Don't question his loyalty, even when he makes the same arguments as Noam Chomsky and Osama bin Laden."
The call-to-arms conclusion of D'Souza's book:
"There is no way to restore the culture without winning the war on terror. Conversely, the only way to win the war on terror is to win the culture war. Thus we arrive at a sobering truth. In order to crush the Islamic radicals abroad, we must defeat the enemy at home."
We're not the enemy, and if you engage us as the enemy, all you'll be doing is starting yet another war you can't win.
*Hell, he lists David Bonior among them too, and Bonior hasn't been in the Congress since 2003.

Misremembering (Updated)
You've got to hand it to former IL Governor Rod Blagojevich. He's the anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns to…not gold, anyway. His magical touch has once again appeared, and this time the touchee is the senator he appointed to replace Barack Obama, Roland Burris. Apparently, Blagos Magic Touch™ caused Sen. Burris to, uh, misremember things.
U.S. Senator Roland Burris was asked to help raise campaign funds for Rod Blagojevich before the ousted Illinois governor named him to the seat left vacant by Barack Obama.
The governor's brother, Rob Blagojevich, asked Burris three times to help with fundraising, according to a Feb. 4 affidavit the senator filed with state Representative Barbara Flynn Currie, who chaired the Illinois House panel that impeached Blagojevich.
Burris told the House panel on Jan. 8 that the governor hadn't asked for money or favors in exchange for the Senate seat. In a letter accompanying the affidavit, Burris's lawyer said the senator hadn't been able to "fully respond" to questions.
He didn't mean to give contradictory testimony. But it was all so confusing and difficult.
"While Senator Burris testified truthfully and to the best of his recollection before the Impeachment Committee, given the fluid nature of the questions and answers between the Senator and the committee, and based upon our subsequent review of the hearing transcripts, the Senator was unable to fully respond to several matters that were included in questions during his testimony," lawyer Timothy Wright wrote in the Feb. 5 letter.
You see, he meant to tell the committee that Robert Blagojevich, the governor's brother had asked him to do some, uh, fund-raising to the tune of $10,000, on three separate occasions, but he just wasn't given a chance to testify to all these things fully. So, it's really the committee's fault, with their slipshod procedures and what not. That's why he told the committee that he had not been asked for any fund-raising at all.
You'd think that a former state Attorney General would be able to negotiate the shoals of testimony, but I guess not.
Still, he told the committee that he had no contact with anyone connected to the governor in association with the appointment. And he specifically denied having been asked to raise any money. That's a difference that would seem difficult to explain, but Sen. Burris is having a press conference today in which he will, presumably, clarify these matters to everyone's satisfaction.
The press conference has started. "I was never inconsistent in my statements".
He says he answered affirmative when asked if he'd had contact with Gov Blagojevich's cronies, and provided Lon Monk's name as an example, after which, the questioning moved on to another subject.
He says his testimonies are fully consistent.
The Chicago press corps is asking him some pretty tough questions. They don't seem to be buying his schtick.
This should be interesting to follow.
So When Is A Lie A Lie? (update)
Or is this just "cynical manipulation?"
President Obama in Elkhart, IN today (email transcript – Fed. News Svc) in answer to a question by Helen Castello, a person in the crowd attending the rally:
So — so we may — we may debate– we — we can debate, you know, whether you'd rather have this tax cut versus that tax cut or this project versus that project. Be clear, though, that there aren't — there aren't individual pork projects that members of Congress are putting into this bill. Regardless of what the critics say, there are no earmarks in this bill. That's part of the change that we're bringing to Washington, is making sure that this money is well-spent to actually create jobs right here in Elkhart.
No earmarks huh? Does President Obama really know that? Or even believe it?
Here he is addressing the House Democrats in Williamsburg last Friday night:
Then there's the argument, well, this is full of pet projects. When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one. (Applause.)
We report. You decide.
But you have to wonder how Ms. Castello, who gushed all over Mr. Obama, must now feel knowing he lied to her face about earmarks knowing full well, as indicated by his remarks to Democrats, that the bill indeed included earmarks?
Hope and change.
UPDATE: Here's a link from a local TV station in Indiana which validates the first quote (although they end up paraphrasing Obama).
Rangel to Be Cleared?
Given the vaunted status of tax cheats amongst the Democrats, you're all shocked, I'm sure:
House Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel predicted, on C-SPAN's Newsmakers program that aired Sunday, Feb. 1, 2009, that his multitude of ethics woes would soon disappear. "I think that next Tuesday you will see a break in this and as soon as the Ethics Committee organizes they ought to be able to dismiss this," National Journal's CongressDaily quoted the Rangel as saying.
If so, it's hard to imagine that the Select Committee on Ethics will have devoted anything more than a cursory glance at the various issues raised. Consider just one aspect, for which documents are in the public record: Rangel's financial disclosure forms. We took a look at his filings going all the way back to 1978, the first year members were required to disclose information on their personal finances, and found 28 instances in which he failed to report acquiring, owning or disposing of assets. Assets worth between $239,026 and $831,000 appear or disappear with no disclosure of when they were acquired, how long they were held, or when they were sold, as the operative House rules at the time required.
This is all according to Charlie, of course. Much like the Obama team clearing itself of any inappropriate behavior in the Blagojevich troubles, taking Charlie's word here would not be advisable. However, he seems to know that something is coming, and considering that Speaker Pelosi made little to no effort to support the investigation, we shouldn't be surprised if Rangel walks away from this with his Chairmanship still intact.
Most ethical Congress ever!
They Need "People"
Old Habits? Or Business as Usual?
Please ignore the outrage you hear from Congress about Citi almost buying a new airplane. Apparently that's an inappropriate expenditure, but this is appropriate:
New York's Charles Rangel and five other Democratic members of the House enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean sponsored in part by Citigroup (see above) in November – after Congress had approved the $700 bailout for financial firms (including Citigroup).
The members no doubt will object to the terms "junket," but that shoe fits. The National Legal and Policy Center, a watchdog group, has asked Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to investigate the Nov. 6-9 excursion to the island of St. Maarten.
It was called the Caribbean Multi-Cultural Business Conference, but "the primary purpose … for most participants appeared to be to take a vacation," said the NLPC. And not only was the timing lousy, but "corporate sponsorship of such an event was banned by House rules adopted on March 1, 2007, in response to the (lobbyist Jack) Abramoff scandal," the group pointed out.
Joining Rangel on that trip were Donald Payne of New Jersey, Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas, Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick of Michigan, Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and Donna Christenson, delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Your "most ethical Congress ever" hard at work watching over those Wall Street fat cats.
Hope and change.
Irony – It's Becoming A Democratic Exclusive
Tom Daschle a few years ago [pdf]:
Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter.
Tom Daschle today:
"Daschle spokeswoman Jenny Backus said he had known since June 208 that his luxury car and driver provided by wealthy Democratic donor, longtime friend and business associate Leo Hindery might be taxable, but never expected the amount to be such a 'jaw-dropping' sum and 'thought it was being taken care of' by his accountant."
Of course he did. Let's get real here – he never really checked or cared until he found out he was in line to take a cabinet post with the most ethical administration ever. And then suddenly it was both important and a priority.
Say "hi" to Tim Geithner for us, will you Tom?
Hope and change.
[Via Don Surber]
An "Honest" Mistake
I've come to understand that Democrats don't like tax cuts, but even more importantly, they don't like paying taxes. This time its Obama's HHS nominee, Tom Daschle. Apparently Mr. Daschle was absolutely clueless that he should have been paying taxes on a car and driver which was provided at taxpayer expense:
After being defeated in his 2004 re-election campaign to the Senate, Daschle in 2005 became a consultant and chairman of the executive advisory board at InterMedia Advisors.
Based in New York City, InterMedia Advisors is a private equity firm founded in part by longtime Daschle friend and Democratic fundraiser Leo Hindery, the former president of the YES network (the New York Yankees' and New Jersey Devils' cable television channel).
That same year he began his professional relationship with InterMedia, Daschle began using the services of Hindery's car and driver.
The Cadillac and driver were never part of Daschle's official compensation package at InterMedia, but Mr. Daschle — who as Senate majority leader enjoyed the use of a car and driver at taxpayer expense — didn't declare their services on his income taxes, as tax laws require.
During the vetting process to become HHS secretary, Daschle corrected the tax violation, voluntarily paying $101,943 in back taxes plus interest, working with his accountant to amend his tax returns for 2005 through 2007.
Now I'd expect to be told this is just an "honest" mistake, much like Tim Geithner's. And of course, the same people who defended the tax cheat who is now Secretary of Treasury, are defending Daschle:
"The president has confidence that Sen. Daschle is the right person to lead the fight for health care reform," White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton said. "In preparation for his nomination, Sen. Daschle and his accountant identified some tax issues and fixed them. They filed amended return with the IRS and made payments with interest. Sen. Daschle brought these issues to the Finance Committee's attention when he submitted his nomination forms and we are confident the committee is going to schedule a hearing for him very soon and he will be confirmed."
Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., added: "Sen. Daschle will be confirmed as secretary of health and human services. He has a long and distinguished career and record in public service and is the best person to help reform health care in this country."
When did Daschle "identify" these tax problems? It appears only after the distinct probability that Obama would win and that he'd be serving in Obama's administration. Suddenly he was concerned:
Daschle reimbursed the IRS $31,462 in taxes and interest for tax year 2005; $35,546 for 2006; and $34,935 for 2007, a Daschle spokesperson said, adding that Daschle had asked his accountant to look into the tax implications of the car and driver five months before Obama won the presidency.
It wasn't important in 2005, 2006 or 2007. It only became important when not paying them stood in the way of a possible job in the administration.
The Daschle spokesperson told ABC News that the senator, facing questions from the committee, has said "he deeply regretted his mistake. When he realized it was a mistake he corrected it rapidly."
Yup, some real ethical giants are going to be running the ship of state aren't they?
Hope and change.

Reason: For a small inquiry or collection of forms, the vehicle owners have to stand in long queues for at least two hours. To get driving licence and registration of vehicle, it takes more than four hours at a stretch. Then there is the problem of touts too.
For each and every work, small or big, vehicle owners are issued tokens and made to stand in queues for hours, thanks to the newly implemented token system and severe staff shortage at the RTO. Against a sanctioned staff of 22 RTO inspectors, there are only three inspectors. There is 60 per cent shortage of office and ground staff.
A businessman Rakesh Maniar said, "I had to stand in the queue for hours. In all it took about four hours for me to get my licence renewed."
Another vehicle owner Santosh Kumar said, "I have been visiting RTO for the last three days. Today, I was lucky to get the token and I am standing in the queue for the last two hours for my driving licence."
Only 300 tokens are issued by the transport office for works related to driving licence and registration of vehicles in a day.
"It is not possible for us to serve 800 people on a daily basis because of staff shortage. Thus, we have implemented the token system," in charge, regional transport officer, GC Patel said.
"Things are likely to get back on track from 2013 as the state government has approved new recruitments in the regional transport offices across the state," Patel added.

Add sugar 1 T at a time til stiff. Add flavorings, mixing well. Fold in nuts and chips.Drop by tsp on foil lined cookie sheet. Place in a 350° oven and immediately turn off oven. Leave in oven without opening overnight. Yield 10 dozen. Store in airtight container. RL` |
roselin32, I haven't had much luck w/the meringue cookies completely drying. The recipes I've tested, haven't given me the results I had been aiming for. With that, my question is: Does your recipe allow the meringue cookies dry completely to the center? Lucy |
Mine always have but I am careful not to make them on a humid day. RL` |
This is my grandmother's recipe - we think they're great! CHOCOLATE WALNUT PUFFS 1 cup (6 ounce package) semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350. |

Eradicating Dishwasher Odor
Posted Jan 02nd 2014 | By:
0 Comments
Sooner or later, you are bound to experience an unpleasant smell emitting from your appliances, especially those that cycle water and decaying food such as your dishwasher. Anytime odor is present, action is required. If your dishwasher smells, there is something going on that is likely preventing it from doing its job at an optimum level and it is up to you to get in there and do something about it.
Due to the way most dishwashers are made, you will need to remove the spray arm to get to the strainer. The spray arm has holes in it that can become encrusted with minerals or detergent, causing it to function improperly in addition to becoming odorous. Remove the spray arm by twisting off the cap holding it into the motor shaft. While you are working in this area of your dishwasher, go ahead and remove the strainer by prying it free and dump out any trapped food items. Wash both the spray arm and strainer in your sink at the same time with mild detergent and/or vinegar to kill any odors trapped in them. Using a thin but sturdy object such as pipe cleaner, ream out the holes in your spray arm before replacing it and your strainer.
With a rag and some mild detergent, wipe around your dishwasher door, playing close attention to the seals and the area beneath the door. There are folds in the seals of your dishwasher and bacteria can get between them and grow, so pay close attention to these areas and clean them thoroughly. Once you are confident that your seals are clean, pour one cup of white vinegar in the bottom of your empty dishwasher and run it through a cycle. To achieve optimum cleanliness, run your sink tap on hot beforehand. When your sink water is at its hottest, start your dishwasher; this immediately fills your dishwasher with a burst of hot water that will get it cleaner, faster.
Last but not least, check the location of your dishwasher drain hose. You want it to be higher than your sink drain. If this is not the case, you need to adjust this immediately. If your sink drain is higher, water from the sink can back up into your dishwasher. This will create a constant source of stagnant water collecting in the bottom of your dishwasher, breeding bacteria and creating odor.
Following these tips should have your dishwasher smelling good as new. To keep it that way, engage in a routine cleaning via wash cycle with vinegar and periodically take the components apart for cleaning, especially the strainer. If nothing is allowed to accumulate in the dark recesses of your dishwasher, odor cannot make a home there either.

Cell communication: Stop the microbial chatter
Bacteria are chatterboxes. They communicate with one another, in large groups, and even across species. This exchange helps them survive and also helps them become more resistant to antibiotics. But by undermining all this chatter, scientists hope to treat infections in new ways. To do so, they are developing new ways to eavesdrop on microbial communication.

Structural biology: 'seeing' crystals the XFEL way
X-ray free electron lasers vaporize samples. After they put so much work into obtaining them, it seems surprising to destroy the samples, usually proteins they have coxed into crystals, with a blam. Then again, it is a way to capture, which allows researchers to reconstruct protein structure.
Sequencing: Ship-Seq sails the seas
Neurobiologist Leonid Moroz likes being out at sea. He likes having all the amenities there, too. Such as high-throughput sequencers. And his complete team.
Here is how he set up Ship-Seq. (Hint: sequencing quality goes up on the high seas.)
Ship-Seq Protocol
1 x 141-foot boat
1 x generous entrepreneur
1 x ship's crew
1 x mobile molecular biology lab equipped with lab benches, a sequencer, reagents
1 x manufacturer of a high-throughput sequencer willing to donate an instrument
1 x satellite link to a supercomputer
1 x lab staff and scientist/wife willing to be scientist-sailors

We are Resorts of Distinction members so the $7 price is the daily "utility charge" we had to pay upon check in. Very tight back in site. Our neighbors had their slide open which extended into our site. Road noise woke me at 6:30 am. No AT&T cell or internet coverage, and their Wi-Fi was not working. We paid $14 for the utility charge for 2 nights, but left after one night. We will not stay here again. - lstaff
Very well run park. Managers and volunteers were very friendly and helpful. Main reason it didn't get a 10 is the Wi-Fi was spotty and continually drops you offline. While the showers were large enough and clean, the water never got very hot. We were here for 7 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The rate for C2C was $10/night, but by the time we added 50 amp, cable TV and taxes, it came out to $21.50/night. We would definitely stay here again. - moorewildride
We bought a membership to this park and we are very disappointed. As a local RV dealership said, "They are nice to you until you buy into the park." Then they were very hard to deal with, giving us sites we couldn't get into and acting like that was all there was. If you want to stay temporarily, it is fine but very dusty. Winter time has drainage issues. They are rude. - Carriage5thWheel

Nice state campground off Bass Lake. Walking distance to lake from sites and nearby Forks store and restaurant. Clean site and flush toilets. No showers. Only downside is there are limited water faucets accessible and no hookups. Stayed in sites 20 and 21 and were great for 2 families and secluded. Would stay here again. Cell phone reception was pretty decent. - JLBL

I was a member here for a couple years. Read all the reviews. Agree with most. Our take is Bass Lake offers a lot of activities. A lot to do: trails, fishing, take the boat out, Pines Village. If you have a car go to Oakhurst and Coarsgold, and Yosemite. The campground can be noisy and what the other member said, the staff can be really rude. They really try to sell you a membership if you are not a current member. Wish they would spend the due money on improvements. It is true sites can be hard to back into. Lots of trees and a small hike, but it's scenic. The manager can be rude and direct at times. You have to come right back at him. It is a nice campground and we would go back. Gets real crowded during the holidays, but what campground doesn't. Have to book way in advance. - tobieollie
Excellent campground - spacious sites, many with a good view of the lake. - IanS
I would give it a 10 if the site has hookup. Beautiful and clean. Bass lake is 100 yard away. I've been to many lakes and Bass lake is definitely up there. The road to the campground is very twisty so drive slow. Site is on asphalt with generous space. Lots of trees. The only thing I don't like is they put rocks around the campsite which make it hard to navigate around. This campground is 40 minute from Yosemite Valley, which makes it an ideal location if you cannot find a campsite in Yosemite. Dump station is 5 minutes drive from the campground. - LA88

We stayed on site #39 which was fairly flat but there's only room for 2 tents, the others are located in uneven ground. The bathrooms were about 70' from our tents and one was flooded and filthy, the other was OK. Since lots of people were using those toilets (flush) sometimes there was a wait. It was an easy walk to the lake which is very beautiful but rather small. We went on Labor Day weekend and there were lots of boats all over with noisy sea-dos. Also lots of people on the trails. There's a quiet time from 10PM but it was not enforced and people partied until the wee hours of the morning. No one told them to be quiet after 10PM. The parking attendant was checking the sites every day without failing. There were limited parking spaces per site and each car must be registered. Overall it was good, but I personally like quiet campgrounds. - renaelindsay
Beautiful heavily wooded location. Some sites have a view of Bass Lake. Adjacent to Millers Landing which offers showers, store, marina, and grill. They have sites which can accommodate a 40 footer, but it will be a tight squeeze both on the road and in the site. The friendly camp host sells firewood and each site has a fire ring. No hookups, and bring a water-thief to fill your tanks. - morganhillers
