The municipality of De Bilt (with a population of over 42,000) was established on 1st January 2001 when the municipalities De Bilt and Maartensdijk were joined. Its territory covers 6,880 hectares. The municipality consists of the villages:
The respectable age of De Bilt is also evident from the old municipal coat of arms. This emblem looks like a grill and commemorates the death of the Holy Lawrence, who was burned in Rome in 258 BC. In the twelfth century a cloister that was dedicated to this St. Lawrence stood near the outskirts of Oostbroek. Since the municipal re-grouping, the municipality has a new coat of arms; you can read more about this later in this guide.
Due to the proximity of a large town, trade and industry did not develop and the village remained small. In 1945 the municipality had a population of about 14,000 and there was little industry. The latter is actually still the case. De Bilt is mainly a typical residential area with a lot of forest. Most of this forest is open to the public and grateful use is made of it.
During the construction of the railway line between Utrecht, Amersfoort, and Zwolle a small wooden station was built at the crossing on the North West side of Soestdijkseweg. In August 1863 the railway line was put into use and De Bilt had its own railway connection (although the station was a half-hour walk from the village). It wasn't until 1900 that a few villas were built near De Bilt Station, which was its official name. Soon after more villas arose and also some smaller houses. The forest area was crossed by several roads and a new village was created that, in 1917, was given the name Bilthoven by the municipality of De Bilt.
Due to the enormous increase in housing construction after the Second World War, the two villages joined together. Commuters have enhanced the residential task of the region even more. Some of the companies and institutions in De Bilt and Bilthoven belong to the service sector, such as the Government Institution for Public Health and Environmental Protection in Bilthoven. Thanks to the weather reports from the KNMI De Bilt always makes the daily headlines. De Bilt also has some industry and flourishing small businesses.
De Bilt is a member of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions. This organisation strives for a united Europe that is based on freedom of the individual and of the community. Municipalities are encouraged to develop a stronger self-consciousness and to promote the European spirit.
The area, in which Maartensdijk developed, was part of an extensive peat area. The exploitation probably started in the beginning of the 13th century near the Vecht, towards the Gooi and the Vuurse. This can still be seen from the long allotments that are stretched out between the Vecht and the Gooi.
Voordorp (Blauwkapel) is the oldest settlement in the Oostveen region and is situated on the eastern boundary of the peat area, between the Vecht and the Vuurse. The name "Oostveen" first appeared around 1350. Later the name Oostveen was given to the village that is now called Maartensdijk, which was the most important settlement in this region.
The name Maartensdijk was already used in the 15th century. Then it probably indicated the dike along the Oostveen canal that runs besides the Dorpsweg. The clergymen from the cathedral in Utrecht named the dike in their area after their patron St. Martin. On the coat of arms of the former municipality of Maartensdijk this holy man is pictured. Mounted on a horse, St. Martin offers a piece of his coat to a scarcely clothed beggar.
During the 16th century the name Maartensdijk was given to the settlement at the northern cross dike, the village Maartensdijk. Way into the 19th century the municipality Maartensdijk (not the village) was often called Oostveen. Oostveen stretched from the city of Utrecht to Hilversum. The area was about 20 kilometres long and 5 kilometres wide. On the west side of Oostveen there were similar extensive regions (later the former municipalities) Achttienhoven and Westbroek.
In 1823 the first boundary adjustment and annexation took place. Part of Maartensdijk was annexed to Utrecht. This was a piece of land from the old gas factory in Blauwkapel road up to the border of the village Tuindorp. A second and more important annexation followed in 1830. The boundaries of the municipality of Utrecht then followed the inundation embankment. "running from the road to the Gagel over the Zwarte Water and including everything within the outside of the outer canals along the embankment and the fort with its outworks and the Ridderschapsvaart to the Minstroom".
On 1st January 1954 there was another radical boundary adjustment. Tuindorp, with a population of 7,317, which was erected in the thirties in the municipality of Maartensdijk, was transferred to Utrecht. Maartensdijk also lost the Zwarte Water area to Utrecht and part of the Biltsestraatweg (Steinenburg) to De Bilt. With this change the population of Maartensdijk was reduced from 12,398 at the end of 1953 to 5,081 on 1st July 1954. The municipality had therefore been halved. Also Achttienhoven and Westbroek lost a large piece of their territories to Utrecht for the Overvecht district.
The loss of land and inhabitants was partly compensated from 1st July 1957 when the majority of Westbroek, which since 1st January 1954 included a large part of Achttienhoven, and a small part of Tienhoven were annexed to Maartensdijk. This increased the population by 1,174.
Compared to the other villages in the former municipality of Maartensdijk, the village of Maartensdijk has the most commuters, is centrally situated and has the most public services. The 17th century building in Tolakkerweg was used as the town hall until 1st January 2001. Other noteworthy buildings are the Nederlands Hervormd church in Dorpsweg (15th/16th century), the 18th century Eyckenstein and the home and care centre Dijckstate on Maertensplein.
Groenekan has developed from a mainly rural village to a commuter's village. Its characteristics are the Voordaan House in Groenekanseweg, the corn mill Geesina and the Groenekan tree nursery.
Hollandsche Rading developed after the 1920s. The villa village lies on the edge of the Gooi. The name Hollandsche Rading (rading = boundary) indicates that the boundary between the Gooi (Holland) and the Sticht (Utrecht) once ran here. Even now the boundary between the village, and the municipality of Hilversum to the north marks the province boundary between the provinces North-Holland and Utrecht. The commuter village Hollandsche Rading lies adjacent to the Gooi Nature Reserve. The village is in the middle of a woodland area and is therefore popular for tourists. There is also a railway station.
Westbroek is mainly agricultural. Westbroek, including the former village Achttienhoven, takes a special place within the municipality. Many of the old buildings here have been preserved. Part of the village has been declared as a protected village sight. Beautiful places of interest are the Westbroek Zodden, the church dated 1467 with wall paintings and the mill De Kraay.
In the past De Bilt was twinned with the German municipality Coesfeld, and Maartensdijk with the Polish town Miescisko. The municipal reorganisation did not change this situation: both town twinnings have been continued.
Through these partnerships the municipalities concerned try to learn about each other's lifestyles and to understand each other's problems. The promotion of contacts between the citizens of the three towns contributes to working towards a mutual understanding in the most varied fields.
Through the Development Co-operation Foundation De Bilt/Bilthoven have also established a partnership with the municipality of Gakpé. Gakpé is a group of four villages in the south of the West-African country Benin. The partnership between De Bilt and Gakpé aims at building up and maintaining a relationship in which information is exchanged about our daily lives, living environment, culture, history, etc., and also exchange of knowledge and experience concerning durable development. The relationship between De Bilt and Gakpé strives to improve the living conditions in Gakpé in such a way that the population of Gakpé can take part in these improvements independently.
Coat of arms before 1st January 2001Due to the municipal re-grouping from 1st January 2001 the former coat of arms belonging to De Bilt and Maartensdijk became obsolete. The High Council of Nobility, who granted the "old" arms to De Bilt on 11th September 1816, described the arms as "being of silver, laden with a St. Lawrence grill and sword". The grill commemorates the torturing death through fire of the Holy Lawrence in the year 258 BC in Rome. The cloister Oostbroek is dedicated to St. Lawrence. This cloister was founded in 1100 and was demolished in 1580.
The arms of Maartensdijk picture "a shield of azure with the image of Saint Martin in gold". The patron St. Martin, mounted on a horse, offers a piece of his coat to a scarcely clothed beggar. Originally St. Martin was coloured red (bishop's overcoat) and white (undercoat); these colours are especially evident in the coat of arms of Utrecht. In the arms of Maartensdijk the colours blue (azure) and yellow (gold) were chosen.
Coat of arms from 1st January 2001The new coat of arms shows a combination of the two previous arms. In order to join both emblems nicely, the arms of Maartensdijk have been simplified to a diagonal partition, which is also called the Maartensdeling. Above the diagonal the grid from the arms of De Bilt has been placed. Conforming to the heraldic rules the grill is black on the gold part and blue on the silver part. In this way a coat of arms was designed in which both former arms recognisably make up the new coat of arms. Traditionally a golden crown of three leaves and two pearls covers the shield. The new coat of arms was granted by Royal Decree on 4th December 2000 to "the to be founded municipality of De Bilt".
The flag was derived from the coat of arms. For recognition reasons the grill was placed as close as possible to the mast. The diagonal partition under the grill gives the flag its own character and makes it recognisable as the flag of the new municipality De Bilt. Officially the flag is described as follows: "the right-hand diagonal part blue and yellow, the length of the bottom triangle is equal to the height of the flag. Over the diagonal line a square grill, on blue/white and on yellow/black".
The municipality of De Bilt covers 66,60 km2 and has a population of 42.018 as of 31 december 2009.

Unreal Engine 4: Tech Demo PC vs PS4 Comparison
The next-gen PlayStation 4 is almost upon us, and in this video, we look at how the Unreal Engine 4 stacks up on PC and PS4.
Maybe not quite as real-looking as the FOX Engine or the Killzone PS4 demo, but there are some real graphical complexities in there. It's impressive, and it's readily apparent that current-gen hardware couldn't handle this load.

Happy Earth Day!
I always love celebrating Earth Day since the environment is, to me, one of the most important issues of today. Although I try to do it every day, I always try to make sure I recycle everything I can on Earth Day and use the least amount of resources as possible. Also, Earth is my second favorite planet, after Saturn of course.
To make a twist on my usual Earth Day posts, I've decided to talk about Saturn since it's the only planet that's important. First, and most importantly, its rings are so cool. Earth could only wish to have such a cool looking exterior. There is also world peace on Saturn. Can't say the same about Earth……
Recently the planet Saturn was in the news because it may have a new moon forming in its rings. Earth only has one boring moon but Saturn not only has multiple, it also has a new one! In closing, Saturn is much cooler than Earth could ever hope to be but we could at least put in an effort to keep Earth up and running in the future hope that it will be as cool as Saturn some day.

Reviews in the US of The Act of Killing, while mostly positive, typically lurched from one shocking thing that Congo does or says to another. In one scene, for instance, Congo describes exiting a screening of an Elvis musical, "still in the mood of the film," dancing across the street to a paramilitary office, and "killing happily." In a sequence of surreal film-noir scenes that layer fiction upon reality upon fiction, until the viewer is unsure what's real and what's theater, Congo and his fellow executioners dress in suits and fedoras and take turns playing victims and killers, choking each other with wire—a method they learned from Hollywood that became their go-to technique. At one point, Congo's neighbor, who has volunteered to play an execution victim, tells the cast of killers gathered on set that he has a story that might fit with the plot. He explains that his stepfather had been abducted and murdered during the middle of the night, and that as a young child he went out the next day with his grandfather to find the body and bury it at the side of the road. "I promise," the man says repeatedly during his story, "I'm not criticizing you."
The killers smile and nod throughout, as if only pretending to listen, and then declare his scene too long and complicated for the story they're trying to tell. Back to filming now, the killers prepare to choke the man with wire.
An important part of Oppenheimer's approach was to screen a rush edit for the killers and film their response. One might expect Congo to be concerned about his image when he watches a scene of himself demonstrating how he choked his victims, but his only worry is his wardrobe. "I never would have worn white pants," he says. "I look like I'm dressed for a picnic."
As the film progresses, Congo and his friends slip, in Oppenheimer's words, further "down the rabbit hole of self-invention." And this reveals the effectiveness of Oppenheimer's theatrical method as an investigative technique. Watching the re-enactments leads the characters to suggest new and more elaborate re-enactments, the filming of which requires them to dig more deeply into their pasts "both as they remember them, and as they would like to be remembered." As Oppenheimer notes, "The most powerful insights in The Act of Killing probably come in those places where these two agendas radically diverge." Not only did the re-enactment process capture confessions of crimes that had never been recorded, but it provides insights into the minds of the perpetrators as they attempt to take moments of unimaginable cruelty and mold them to fit their understanding of themselves and their society.
The film is not solely interested in the past, though, nor does it limit itself to the minds of its subjects. In an ever-widening attempt to explain themselves, the killers take Oppenheimer to see some of the most powerful figures in Indonesian society. And these men, rather than attempt to be more subtle or media savvy than the executioners who worked at their behest, amplify the performance of impunity.
We meet a newspaper publisher who was secretary general of the anti-communist forces that participated in the massacre in North Sumatra, and who actually used his newspaper's building as a base for the killings. He takes Oppenheimer's cameraman on a tour of his office to see the photos of him with prominent Indonesian politicians. He then confesses casually to using his newspaper as a mouthpiece for anti-leftist propaganda—"My job was to make the public hate them," he says—and to ordering torture and execution. Near the end of the interview, Oppenheimer presses him on a detail of how the executions were carried out. "Why would I do such grunt work?" he responds. "One wink from me and they're dead."
In another scene, we visit a gathering of Pancasila Youth, a paramilitary group that grew out of the massacre and remains active in Indonesia. It claims 3 million members and runs a nationwide network of gambling, racketeering, and extortion operations with tacit approval from the Indonesian government—or at least the approval seems tacit, until Oppenheimer films a government official donning the organization's orange-an-black fatigues and courting members with a rousing speech that includes lines such as, "We need gangsters to get things done," and, "Beating people up is sometimes needed."

Peyton Manning arrives in Denver, (almost) ready to lead Broncos
Peyton Manning was introduced as the latest Broncos quarterback Tuesday afternoon in Denver. Manning's happy to have Tim Tebow as his teammate, for now.
David Zalubowski/AP
Peyton Manning got John Elway's seal of approval and Elway got the quarterback he thinks will bring the Denver Broncos their next Super Bowl title.
Now, everybody gets to see if Manning's surgically repaired neck goes along with the plan.
Manning was introduced as the new quarterback of the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, the four-time MVP taking the spot once held by Elway, who as Broncos vice president engineered the deal to bring the NFL's most sought-after free agent to town.
After holding up his new, orange No. 18 jersey in a photo op with Elway and owner Pat Bowlen, Manning answered many of the questions that have been bouncing around since March 7, when his old team, the Colts, released the quarterback and set in motion one of the most frenetic free-agent pursuits in history.
On the neck injury that kept him off the field through 2011: "I'm not where I want to be. I want to be where I was before I was injured. There's a lot of work to do to get where we want to be from a health standpoint."
On his potential role in being the man who could bring about the end of Tim Tebow's popular stay in Denver: "I know what kind of player Tim Tebow is, what kind of person he is, what an awesome year it was. If Tim Tebow is here, I'm going to be the best teammate. If other opportunities are presented to him, I'm going to wish him the best."

Since 2009-2010, the Board of Teaching and Minnesota's teacher preparation programs have been leading the nation in the implementation of a new tool to ensure beginning teachers are ready for the demands of teaching. The edTPA, or Teacher Performance Assessment, has been developed by Stanford University and now has participation across 28 states. Learn More >>
In 2011 the Minnesota Legislature directed the Board of Teaching to develop a process for approving alternative teacher preparation programs. After conducting targeted research, analysis, and community engagement, the Board adopted the Guidelines for the Approval of Alternative Teacher Preparation Providers on January 13, 2012.
The Board of Teaching is responsible for overseeing the teacher candidate testing requirements set forth in Minnesota law.

Handicapping the House — The Final Edition
This is it — the final countdown!
Sorry about that. But I'm still in shock that the Toss Up races have zoomed back up to 40. This close to D-Day is when the center should be emptying out to both sides, as voter preferences become clearer.
But this just isn't that kind of year.
First, let's look at the races that shifted to the left since we last checked in.The GOP is showing some weakness in the Midwest (IA01 & IA03) and in Pennsylvania (PA07 & PA11), where they are expected to make some big gains. Nobody is quite sure what's going on in IA01, due to a lack of polling. And in IA03, Republican Brad Zaun has stumbled pretty badly in recent weeks. Both races went from Toss Up to Leans Dem. Data is thin in PA07, but I think the GOP's Patrick Meehan will take this one — Pennsylvania's districts aren't as competitive as they could be for the Dems, thanks to the last round of redistricting. And PA11 slipped due to one pretty outlandish poll result. Both races went from Leans GOP to Toss Up, but I have them colored red on my private map.
Three other races exited the Tossers to Leans Dem. They are KY03, NH02 and NM01. All three are looking solidly blue to me, absent a wave even bigger than the one I'm expecting.
WA03 slipped from Leans GOP, but I honestly don't know why. Jaime Herrera has held nice margins since August, but I'm not coloring it in yet.
And our last left-mover is FL25, from Likely to Leans GOP. No incumbent in this race, but I still like David Rivera's chances. Enreddenate it already.
That's nine left-movers — the most we've seen in a single week. Bad news for the GOP? Perhaps. But if so, then the Democrats have even worse news — only one of those seats (FL25) is currently held by a Republican and that one is likely to stay red. So the Donks are, at best, treading water.
And for the really bad news for the Democrats: A total of 16 races red-shifted — and every single one of them is currently a blue seat.

IA-01,03 may have moved back to leans Dem, but IMO IA-02 is a good shot at an upset.
Dr. Miller-Meeks is a strong candidate with a good ground game and she will hold her own in blue counties.
Story will be Dem turnout.

How many election results were reversed on proven voter frauds? None. Court's judgement: there were no ways to distinguish which votes were fraud votes.
How many election results were reversed by voter frauds? At least two, WA governor race a couple of cycles ago, and Al Franken's senate seat, by including dead votes and ghost votes in repeated recounts.

I admit I don't know which authority does what in prosecuting vote fraud and election campaign fraud — but whoever it is, they've been AWOL, starting at least from 2008 ("Good Will Hunting," "Loving You," "Minnie Mouse," anyone?). But prevention is key, and it's not being done. I suspect inert Republicans as much as corrupt Democrats. I bet we see raving fraud in 2012 while Republicans in Congress hem and harrumph and do nothing.

Sheila Jackson Lee thinks we all need to be on the look out for tea party types committing voter fraud. ACORN gets a pass from her though. Must be that long history of cheating by the tea parties and the squeaky clean record of ACORN. Be vigilant.

Unfortunatly the only place where you find Senators in the House is in the minds of Liberals.
You see somehow McCarthy is responsible for the activities of the Hous UnAmerican Activities Commission (HUAC) in the minds of liberals.
McCarthy only accused members of the State Department of being Communists. (people who were later proven to actually be communists when the wall came down) But he is blamed for things like the Blacklists (result of HUAC) anyway.

There is one good thing about voter fraud, if you are convicted of it, you can never legally vote again along with felons in most all states. Look for those that do such and document it by any means to stop them from further activity and some jail time if the offense so requires it!

It has to do with the colors used by the networks to depict the election maps in 2000.
Until 2000, blue was the color used for the incumbent party and red for the challenger. Since the Dems held the presidency in 2000, blue was used to show the states that went for Al Gore.

Vote fraud will never be punished by the legal system in the United States. When the Democrats are in power, they will not do anything to curtail one of the main sources of their electoral victories. When the Republicans are in power, they are gorm-less, goolie-less wimps who would not dream of trying to at least make it clear that it was rape and not consent. There are only two ways to stop it. One, the Republicans have to cheat better than the Democrats, or two, it has to become both dangerous and unprofitable for the Democrats. We know the first will never happen.

Let's take your thinking one step further, Let's give the GOP all the tossups. That gives them 20 more seats. 20+64=84 80+ has been my prediction.
Fine as that is, what I want to know is the number of incumbents rejected or retired. That's the number that matters to me; how many bums got thrown out.

Renee is up 46 to 41 for Bob the Mauler Etheridge truly bad for a seven term incumbent. Bob carried NC2 with 67% in 08 and 06 RCP has no poll for NC4 for this year, Price carried it by 63% in 08 but with no polling for this race RCP calls it likely Dem but has NC7 and 11 both toss ups. Ilario Pantano(R)is up 1 over Mike McIntyre (D) in a poll from Sept. McIntyre won with 69% in 08. Heath Shuler is up 45 to 44 over Jeff Miller in NC11 in a poll from July yet RCP rates that race a toss up. Shuler won with 62% in 08. If this is going to be a "wave year" I say NC flips districts 2,4,7,8,11 and 13, NC4 having many liberal precincts as does NC2 where Renee Ellmers is running for my vote. We have to average 2.6 flipped seats in the House to match the gains made in 1894.

I live in NC13. Brad Miller (D) incumbent vs. Bill Randall (R). This is a district that Miller help draw in 2001. I don't think Miller has ever gone below 59% in any election, and considering Randall has pretty much run a stealth campaign, I don't see him winning this election.
With the way Lawson "stepped on his d***" with his fake Morgan Freeman campaign ad, I don't see him defeating Price either.

It is amusing to see everyone is still ignoring Michiganistan's 12th district. The polls are now showing that the Pelosi-lapdog chair of the House Ways & Means committee is about to take a fall from his 28 years of no-need-to-even-ask-for-your-vote seat. Good news for a district that has the distinction of being at the top of the list for losses of jobs, income and home values.

I follow the political stuff such as this as a form of amusement, but quite frankly I don't really expect any change, whoever wins. As far as I can see, this is just a way of bringing in cash for what Sean Scallon has dubbed "Conservative Inc." over at the indispensable American Conservative. As to the futility of voting, I think that long time writer and USMC vet Fred Reed has the best take on it: http://fredoneverything.net/Squid.shtml
Don't let the title fool you. It is a well written piece about the real political impotence of the citizenry, and the lack of genuine choices. I admit that I voted, but only for one of the minor parties that concerns itself with social conservative issues.
I still believe that the tea baggers(and I use the term deliberately) are going to be in for a profound shock once the Repubs take over. They will find that very few, if any of the people that they have worked to elect have any intention of doing what they said they were going to do. And at that point, they will return to their regular lives, watch tv, and return to their zombie like state, even as Faux News cheers the meaningless triumph of Oceania, er I mean Republicanism. And the money machine known as Conservative Inc, which is not in any way, shape or form related to genuine conservatism, will keep fleecing the suckers.
Now I have to get some work done. I have to earn enough to pay my taxes so politicians can pander to the lowest common denominator.October 30, 2010 - 6:03 am Link to this Comment | Reply-

Meehan is going to win in Pa7.
Not that it necessarily means much but he has shockingly got the endorsements of both the left-leaning Philadelphia Inquirer and Delaware County Daily Times due to electioneering stunts pulled by Lentz.
And not that this is definitive either but the Meehan signs far outnumber those for Lentz. In '08 the Sestak signs far outnumbered those for Craig Williams.
Taken together along with various hard-to-measure subjective observations, I will be totally flummoxed if Meehan fails to win.

Mr. Green "I have it on good authority that having Carl Paladino at the top of the ticket is doing very rude and unlubricated things to candidates down-ticket [in NY]."
You should not make too much of McCarthy's (NY4) attack ad on Becker on Paladino to generalize. NY4 is a highly educated, overtaxed district, and Becker is well known.
That makes no sense to this not-partisan NY-watcher who is following the congressional contests because they will drive turnout. Schumer is still pretending he is not on the ballot. Gillibrand is still in her first statewide contest. The real drivers are the statewide contests for Comptroller and AG, and the congressional contests. Most importantly, Cuomo has no coattails outside of the straight ticket die-hards who would vote for anyone with a D. I will be surprised if he gets 50% of the vote because there will be so many people voting third-party this year. My gut prediction is Cuomo will lose more votes to Barron, Hawkins, and Redlich, than Paladino will to Redlich. Some of us might just vote Paladino because his Lt. Gov Edwards is so strong, and, in NY, one can expect the next governor to either be indicted or resign in disgrace… or resign due to nervous breakdown over the next budget
Do you really think Anthony Weiner (NY9) would ask Bill Clinton in for a last-minute fundraiser if things were not contentious?
Do you think the Dems making the protection of abortion rights such a major issue is anything more than the need to get more women to the polls to vote D? (forgetting that 49% of New Yorkers are Catholics)
I also think the turnout in the not-competitive NYC CDs will be unusually low due to 1) the BoElections fiasco from the primary, and, 2) fear of bedbugs. Do not scoff. The bedbug crisis is affecting everything. I do not understand why NYC has not made it an official health emergency as if it was an epidemic. People are afraid to take the subway, buy clothing, go the movies, or move to a new place. Yonkers already had to change one polling site due to bedbugs.
The good news is that a few entrenched NY incumbents are so miffed that they actually have to campaign this year. Good practice.

That settles it. After Nov. 2, the official symbol of the Democratic Party will be the bedbug!

New hospital coming for Negril
Posted: April 23, 2012
Government has given its approval for the construction of a hospital in Negril, Westmoreland.
Construction of the Negril International Hospital and Wellness Centre is expected to begin later this year, at an estimated cost of US $200 m.
Chairman of the Board of Directors Winston Wellington says the facility is to be built in Orange Bay, Negril on lands for which they are negotiating with the Urban Development Corporation (UDC).
It will feature, among other things, a full scale emergency room, a radiology department, a cardiology laboratory and dialysis centre.
Mr. Wellington says there are also plans for the hospital to have attached university type pre-training sections.
He adds that arrangements are in place for the facility to be operated for the first 10 years by the American Management Group out of Harvard University.

Park rangers patrol our park system year around and work to make the parks safer and more enjoyable for all visitors. Learn more about how and when to contact a Park Ranger and the Ranger Stewardship Program.
Scope of Authority:The Rangers are full peace officers and have the same level of authority as a County Sheriff or a City Police Officer and have completed extensive training at the Sheriff's Academy. They enforce Regional Parks specific County ordinances and California Vehicle, Penal and Health & Safety Codes within all County Regional Parks.
Park Rangers have jurisdiction in all areas that constitute the County Regional Parks system and within formerly designated "zones of impact". Park Rangers may also perform law enforcement services outside of the Regional Parks system and zones of impact. They do not have primary jurisdiction over parks outside of the County Regional Parks system.
Typical Enforcement Duties:The Rangers enforce infractions, misdemeanors and felonies that occur within our Park system including: failure to pay entry fees, vehicles in restricted areas, possession of alcohol where prohibited, dogs that are not on leashes, illegal camping, swimming without a life jacket and possession of drugs. Rangers also oversee issues at the three County golf courses.
Rangers also have jurisdiction over what is known as the Zone of Impact, an area located just outside the Parkway that is affected by Parkway activities. An example would be a rope swing that is not on Parkway property but is located along the river or a nearby public street that is experiencing in inordinate amount of traffic from Parkway visitors.
Additional Duties:
Ranger Complaint Process - Residents have the right to make a complaint against a police officer for any improper conduct as per state law. To register a complaint, please read and sign the Citizen Complaint Information form and fill out a Complaint Form. Send both completed forms to Regional Parks, Park Ranger Section at 4040 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento CA 95827.

Two centuries of data leave little doubt the potential is there, whether there is any means of realizing it sooner is another question. Some things only progress and time can cure but we should be working on them if we are ever to do so.
The salary gap must be fixed and Americans must not be threatened by the prospect of not having healthcare.
We have been left without the ability to develop a savings for a rainy day and the Only Way this will be fixed is for the Rich to be Forced to take massive pay cuts and stop using chapter 11 to pull their money out of companies they drove into dept and forcing workers to pay the bills.
In economics, we speak of "the labor force" as though it's a single entity. In reality, of course, the composition of the labor force changes over time. Old people retire and young people start working. What if the younger generation is terribly spoiled? And the productivity of a workforce is not just the sum of the ability and work ethics of individual workers. Teamwork matters. It's hard to have that when there's no common values. The year is 2012 and we'll seeing a generation entering the workforce who never lived a day under the shared danger during the Cold War. Personally, I don't trust young people at all. They seem incredibly narcissistic. In my days, we sang We Are the World and hoped somehow starving children in Ethiopia will find food. Now, youngsters adore Youtube video made by freakish men running around in his underwear. And what exactly is Foursquare? The generation gap is made worse by the political divide. A Dittohead manager and a Obamabot underling probably won't work well together.
@chernyshevsky I respectfully disagree. I think the generation gap is overblown. When I entered the workforce about 16 years ago, I was part of the mythical Generation X, and was supposedly lazy and self-centered. Now as I move towards "upper middle" management, I hear the same thing about the younger folks, but I'm not seeing it. As for the different political views, professionals now how to put such things aside (and religion and other contentious issues) to actually produce a good or service.
Great post, but I'd also add that a change in the composition of demand can be expected to reduce the value of human capital and so the potential for growth in the medium-term. I know there's some evidence against the structural unemployment argument which is persuasive to those who think the Fed is too tight. But I also think enough structural unemployment probably leads to a secular demand gap.
As many of us, Cherny most recently, have pointed out, it would be silly to think that people deleveraging in a deep recession just want a little less of the same things they bought during the asset bubble. Maybe just a glass of champagne instead of the whole bottle. And it would be silly to think there would be no friction as tastes change quickly.
What I left unstated was that price segments are far more sticky than prices. An upscale restaurant might lower its prices in respond to economic conditions. It would never become a mid-range establishment.
Reading this, I get the feeling that the "output gap" is a fudge factor, inserted into theory to try to make it conform to reality. We can't measure it. We can only find out, well after the fact, that it wasn't what we thought it was.
The Fed was wrong *by nearly a factor of 3* on the size of the output gap, and only figured it out *15 years later*? This does not seem like a useful variable to use to try to control the economy.
G.I. implies that the Great Depression and the Great Inflation came about because "policy makers could not properly gauge the economy's potential output". So, the discipline of macroeconomics has, as a corner stone, a concept that can not be measured, just guessed at. And all the data that gets fed into the macroeconomic models share comparable inadequacies. Not to mention that the models are oversimplifications in the first place.
It's rather like a myopic man in a fog bank trying to draw what is out there. He may have a shrewd idea what should be there, but can not tell what is actually there, so he will draw the "should" instead of confessing (OK, to be kind, minimizing) his ignorance.
I am told that the discipline of economics aims to merely describe how the real economy works, not to control it. But macroeconomists always seem to end up steering the economy - all, or nearly all, heads of central banks, technocrats in charge of failed states, and so on. In which case the myopic man in the fog is trying to drive a bus rather than just describing the road. Scary!
I agree completely on mainstream economics. If you want better econ, check out the Austrian version. A good place to start is the videos at fee.org.
My colleague says sluggish growth is no surprise, but the obvious result of too-tight monetary policy.
Who uses money these days?
Michael Bordo of Rutgers University and Christopher Meissner of the University of California at Davis recently studied 14 advanced countries from 1920 to 2008 to test the inequality-causes-busts hypothesis. They turn up a strong relationship between credit booms and financial crises—a result confirmed by many other economic studies.
There is probably more to Felix Salmon's stance than you seem to realise.
It isn't just that a shift from leveraging to deleveraging will reduce aggregate demand. As you state, this wouldn't affect real output, given enough time for prices to adjust to lower demand.
Far more importantly for output, a shift from leveraging to deleveraging will shift the distribution of demand within the economy: from domestic consumption to investment/ exports.
The question for output: when America shifts resources from producing domestic consumption goods/ services to investment/ export goods, can will those resources still have the same productivity?
Will the same hour of labour earn the same wage when it is generating accounting software for Pakistan rather than for American service businesses? Will a dollar of capital return the same number of cents when it is sunk in clothes manufacturing machinery rather than shopping centers?
The difference is probably modest, but a shift from annual leveraging to annual deleveraging probably does imply a (rather small) reduction in potential growth, as resources are reallocated to add value in different sectors (inevitable).
We'll just have to find alternative means of boosting productivity growth (open government, faster court systems, more proportionate patents/ copyrights, de-prohibition, trade liberalization, eliminating agricultural subsidies, lifting retirement ages, cutting wage-income tax for old people, cutting corporation tax, implement real-time road charging, increase funding for mathematics and hard natural sciences research, investing in pilot infrastructure projects for new technologies, etc).
Comparisons to any downturn other than the Great Depression are not very useful. The current unpleasantness is the first time we've stared into the abyss since the '30s. Confidence crumbled and fear took over in a way we hadn't seen in 80 years.
We reacted quickly to the collapse of confidence in banking and financial markets, and prevented a total disaster; but we did not do nearly so well for Main Street as we did for Wall Street. That the long-term make up 40% of US unemployed is the fruit of a foolish approach to stimulus. It all ought to have gone to keeping state and local employees in their jobs, and to accelerating the pipeline of infrastructure maintenance and repair. No new projects, because they take too long. No tax cuts because they are useless when easy money isn't working and you need a direct jobs program in the first place.
We needed to take strong and swift action to keep "creative destruction" from culling well beyond the point of creativity, killing sound as well as unsound businesses. If confidence is broken, and we leave it broken, there will be permanent damage left behind once it has slowly recovered on its own. That's the path we've taken.
If you combine the 1981-82 depressions, which were only months apart, you have a more sever depression in almost all measures than the latest one.
But very different causes. There was no financial panic and collapse. Interest rates were held high intentionally. Business confidence was not crushed because there was no mystery about what was going on; it was a matter of waiting for the Fed. The point was to break inflation. Once interests rates were lowered, the economy took off.
The debate on this topic makes me picture a big ball of string. Each guy pulls on a thread and claims that is the one which unravels the ball. None of them are right. The interplay of productivity, participation, etc. are too complex to know. That also has implications: you guess but you shouldn't be religious in your guessing. GI notes they "persistently overestimated" decades past. The second word is fine but the first speaks to unwarranted certainty.
"Austrians considered it payback for years of overinvestment."
Not quite accurate, but still better than mainstream cycle theory: @#$% happens!
"But if we wrongly assume potential is lower than it really is, we risk accepting years of enormous and unnecessary welfare losses."
The flaw in this thinking is the assumption that monetary policy directly controls the economy with little room for error. The data, and common sense, tell us that monetary policy influences the economy, but cannot dictate. Investment dictates; monetary policy is just one of many factors that investors take into account.
"Mr Thoma says policy makers should not hold back on stimulative policies for fear of hitting a short-run supply ceiling, since that ceiling will rise as demand and investment pick up."
True, unless we get the stagflation we enjoyed in the 1970's. If Mr. Thoma could explain the 70's I might trust his dare-devil attitude more.
The '70's, stagflation and all, weren't all that bad for the working man, somewhat unlike how the "'oughts" and onward have proven to be for the working man and his working wife (provided one or the other hasn't been laid off for the past 2-3 years.) I'll take the risk if I have the option. I don't care much for the Austrian "dare-devil attitude" regarding my working-middle-class well-being myself, thank you very much.
So what is the conclusion? what's the policy recommendation?
What is the usual conclusion? Flood the world with money and credit until we start to drown. It's always the same remedy no matter what the problem for mainstream economists.
I think the conclusion is, the writer cautiously agrees with the expansionary policies of the Fed and other central banks, although he is wary that recent evidence might indicate the same mistake is being made as in the 70s.
I agree with the conclusion, particularly because I think its clear the policy mistakes of the 30s had a more severe impact than those of the 70s e.g. there is less downside to over expansionary monetary policy than there is to over contractionary policy.
I think the longer term message is that a lot more work is needed on macroeconomic growth theory to enable the problem to be better understood at a fundamental level.
Someone or some thing needs to coax the people who still have good credit and low balances to go out and spend.
Otherwise we have to go back to creating subprime credit cards, mortgages, etc., for those who game the system.
Says this person with good credit and low balances, I'll start spending if the return on my equity investments starts looking closer to trend.
But what if they never do?
Extra credit for a more artistic and involved emoticon than I think I have ever seen before.

Signs of a subprime comeback:
• Experian Automotive data show that subprime loans made up 41.5 percent of all auto loans in the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 38.4 percent a year earlier and 36.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
• As competition has revived, interest rates on subprime loans have become more affordable. Consumer interest rates are down for all categories of subprime loans. However, the improvement is smallest for the riskiest, deep-subprime loans, to an average interest rate of about 17.8 percent, down only slightly from 17.9 percent a year earlier.
• Terms also are getting longer, as customers seek lower monthly payments and lenders approve longer loans for riskier customers. The average term for deep-subprime customers on a used-car loan was 53 months in the fourth quarter, up from 51.2 months a year earlier.
In addition, subprime auto lenders themselves are having an easier time borrowing money with which to make new loans.
As shown in this article, the Federal Reserve has been anything but prudent when it comes to the near exponential growth in the adjusted monetary base:
The triple digit percentage increase is likely to have long term repercussions for the economy by creating yet another bubble, most likely in both bonds and stocks. What is not yet apparent is the impact of this monetary growth on inflation. Perhaps it is only consumer spending sluggishness that is saving us all a great deal of pain.

Talk about night and day! It looks like Rob was so scorned he's finding comfort in a gal that's the complete opposite of Kristen. See how Katy and KStew stack up right here. Who do you prefer?
Katy Perry wants to move on with Robert Pattinson, but she could not be any more different than his ex, Kristen Stewart — but maybe that's just what he needs. While Katy, like Rob, has also been scorned in love and seems to know what she wants, K-Stew is so confused — and the differences don't end there!
Katy is always in glam mode, while K-Stew seems to shudder at the thought of slipping into a pair of pumps. Click through the photo gallery above to see how the two women are, in fact, polar opposites. Rob has a serious decision to make — but who should he choose? We tried to help him by outlining the differences above. Who would you pick for Rob?

Oh please the fans of Robert, Ketty Perry is like falling into the hands of the devil, we will see wide-eyed and lost in alcohol. They talked about sexually transmitted diseases? tell men that we have met this year, but we have not seen. I hope Rob's parents really be alrmados if this is true. Between Robert and Kristen may have been what happened, but Rob's life settled down a bit to be with her, if it happens, for the good of the Ketty than
yo pienso que todo esto son puras bobadas ya estan diciendo que robert y kristene staran por separado en la alfombra roja y en los viajes que asly la va remplazar mientras que otra fuente dijo que rober acepto caminiar de la mano con kristen en la alfombra roja y asisitir todos los viajes para protejerla, todo es puro chisme la verdad los unicos que la saben son robert y kristen hbra que esperar el estreno a mi lo que no me cuadra es como han atacado a kristen y rupert que nada ese feliz de la vida con su esposa y sus hijitos asi que no ayudan en nada y lo de kate no me parece con rob no se no me cuadra

Leaving the whole cheating scandal aside, I think Kristen is much prettier than Katy. Kristen is a natural beauty, she looks great with or without makeup, she has great skin and nice body. Katy is alright, but she doesn't pull off the "au naturale" like Kristen does. Yes, Katy has boobs (haha), but I still think Kristen wins this round!!!! :)

Surprised this site isn't posting what Celeb Physic had to say about this.
(I am iffy about physics, but she did get that Rob and Kristen would have problems late summer 2012.)
She states that their relationship will remain platonic, and that she sees Katy dating someone in their late 30's possibly 40's. May even be a woman.

I think Katy's always had the hots for rob, she said she was gunning for rob at the MTV awards in 2009 and said, "sorry kristen" all catty. So I bet she is going after him. He may use her for a fling, but it won't be long term, she'll drive him nuts with all her attention needy ways.

One day this site posted that a 'source' close to Jennifer Aniston told this site that her, and her BF broke up. This site said they were even able to 'confirm' it.
A few days later Jennifer herself announces that she is engaged.
Monday Rob never wants to talk to Kristen. Tuesday he is telling his friends that blab to the tabloids that he's in love with her. Wednesday Rob is looking to date Katy P. Thursday Rob is wanting to forgive Kristen. Friday tabloids get told by so called sources that they are texting. Blah blah blah!
This quote about tabloids is sooo true: "Once a tabloid gets attention for one correct fact or two, they crave the attention & embellish the original story to keep getting attention."

I chose neither. Kristen Stewart makes me physically sick now and even though i do like Katy Perry, I just dont think she is the right person for Robert Pattinson. I think he should get himself sorted out and then go and find a nice girl (or boy if he decides to take the other route lol) that will stay faithful to him. Good luck Rob. x
Stupid ppl...
Posted at 6:57 PM on August 29, 2012
Lmfao. You guys really need to stop. Katy is not robs girl. And kristen is possibly not robs girl either ( i said possibly) katy and kristen are friends-or at least were. Idk. they partied at coachella together and everything WITH rob. Yeah rob and katy were frie ds first but that doesnt matter at the moment.
You guys are adding more fuel to the fire. You guys give out all this advice like you wanna see them happy but then u make posts like this. Its really sad and idk why but i feel like this is a new low and its gone to far. Stop with this "vs" nonsense. As soon as u guys think u got a little information (not true info btw) you guys make 10-15 posts about it so you can stretch the story even more. Or at least thats how i see it.

People can say what they like, but rob is obsessed with Kristen Stewart, the only thing that separates them now is his hurt and his ego, he's said it before that he wouldn't want to be a pussy, for letting a girl so things like that. It's on the eclipse commentary when bella kisses jacob. Anyway good luck to them but in my opinion stew is the best thing that happened to him,
Posted at 7:30 PM on August 29, 2012
Looks to me like the media is running out of things to talk about in regards to Rob and Kristen, so now there making stuff up to get people to read their blog. All of this isn't anyones business. I bet if we all stopped reading their crap for a day they'd stop making up the lies. I remember watching an interview with both of them. They themselves, wondered where the crap about them was coming from because at that time none of it was true.
Something else how many times can the media tell us in a day what happened. Every sentence, every paragraph begins with the tragidy, it is a tragidy. Think about it, how would you feel if a 41 yr old married man approached you, stalked you? Maybe he threatened her Kristen doesn't look herself in any of those pictures. Nor does she look like she's enjoying it.
