Klein said that he personally informed the group's major donors of the lost exemption. "I was really scared calling some of my major people that they would respond very uncomfortably, but they didn't, not a single one," Klein said in a telephone interview from his home.
One current ZOA employee accused Klein of asking her to keep the loss of the tax exemption a secret. In a September 5 memo to Drimer, Goldberg, board chair Michael Goldblatt and ZOA Western Region executive director Orit Arfa wrote that Klein "has mentioned to me several times that we must remain secretive about the tax-exempt status issue."
Arfa confirmed that she had written the memo. Goldberg said that he had distributed it to the board.
When asked about the memo, Klein said that he was feeling ill and had to get off the phone.
Drimer dismissed Arfa's charge. "I 100% deny that," Drimer said.
The group's national website currently refers donors to an outside not-for-profit that accepts donations on the ZOA's behalf. That not-for-profit, FJC, maintains a collective giving account unofficially tied to the ZOA. The funds in the account legally belong to the FJC, but Lenny Glickman, the FJC's CEO, said that he expected they would be granted to the ZOA once the group regains its exempt status.
The FJC receives 2% of all donations to the fund as a fee, plus roughly 1% of the account's total balance each year. The funds are invested in a money market account.
An outside counsel retained personally by Goldberg argued in a memorandum circulated to board members that they could be held personally liable for failing to fully disclose the loss of the group's exemption. Written by a California lawyer named Kent Seton, the memorandum was emailed to board members by Goldberg in late August.
The ZOA disputes the notion of any potential liability. "I do not agree that the ZOA had or has an affirmative duty to broadly publicize to donors the loss of exemption," Korn wrote in the email provided to the Forward. "I also do not agree that donors would, in general, have any valid, corresponding claim for damages against the ZOA or its Board."
Drimer noted that Seton is a California lawyer and the ZOA is a New York corporation, and asserted that the ZOA had done nothing wrong. "We have a legal opinion from our tax attorney that the ZOA has done nothing illegal, immoral, or unethical in dealing with this situation from the time we were aware of the revocation," he said. "There is no affirmative duty required. We didn't keep it a secret."
In an August 8 memorandum to Korn and the group's leadership, Drimer outlined steps the ZOA would take to ensure future compliance with reporting requirements. The memo outlines infrastructure changes to develop consistency in bookkeeping between ZOA regional offices and announces the hiring of a full-time staff accountant.
In an email to the Forward, Goldberg condemned the ZOA and the board's response to the ongoing crisis. "That the ZOA failed to file required information returns for three consecutive years is itself reflective of gross negligence," Goldberg wrote. "I truly believe it is both illegal and unethical, and I expect more from the ZOA, an organization that until very recently has stood for telling the truth, even when it's unpopular."

Planners propose new and simpler zoning map
Thursday, November 21, 2013
SANFORD — A plan to improve and simplify Sanford's land-use plan and to give the city more flexibility in attracting business to the downtown area was presented to the city council last week.
Gulnac said the planning board is not making any changes to the Single Family Residence zone, the Rural Residential or Rural Mixed Use zones. The board is also proposing that the Residential Development (RD) zone be kept since development in those areas requires hook-up to the city's sewerage system.
Gulnac said contract zones, which have already been approved, would be exempt from the changes.
Councilor Alan Walsh asked if making the guidelines mandatory might be a roadblock to development. |

Writing CGI Scripts in Python
The Python Reference Manual abstract describes Python as:
A simple yet powerful, interpreted programming language that bridges the gap between C and shell programming, and is thus ideally suited for "throw-away programming" and rapid prototyping. Its syntax is put together from constructs borrowed from a variety of other languages; most prominent are influences from ABC, C Modula-3 and Icon ... Python is available for various operating systems, amongst which are several flavors of Unix (including Linux), the Apple Macintosh O.S., MS-DOS, MS Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and OS/2.
It should also be noted that Python is an object-oriented language. You can write classes like in C++ or Java. I use Python every time the common guy would use Perl ["common guy"? Sheesh!—Ed, who is a die-hard Perl fan]. It has about the same functionality, while being far more readable. But it should not be restricted to a scripting language—a lot of people are using it for complete applications. It's also a perfect glue language, like Tcl, because it's easy to add new modules (written in C) to it. It can also be embedded in C applications.
Listing 1 shows my very first Python script. It's still used on a file server at the office. It deletes ~*.tmp left everywhere by buggy MS Windows applications. It's not really the common Hello World program (we'll see one later), and maybe it's not the most efficient way to do the job, but it demonstrates several features of the language:
Variables: Variables don't have to be declared.
Recursivity: See the ScanDir() function.
Platform independence: The os module provides constants for current directory, parent directory, and so on. See os.curdir, os.pardir...
for statement and lists: In Python, for works differently than in C. os.listdir() returns a list of files. For example, in Listing 1, at each iteration of:
for p in files
p will become the value of the next element in the list. So, if files is a triplet with values:
['lib', 'include', 'src' ]
The first time, p will be 'lib'. At the second iteration, it will be 'include', and so on, until it has gone through the whole list.
Arrays and indices: An array can be referred with one or two indices. One index is used to get a single element from the array (like in C). Two indices can be used to get a subset of the array. The first index gives the from element, while the second one gives the to element. For example, if a is an array containing the values 'abcdef', a[ 2 : 4 ] will return 'cd'. There are defaults for both indices: they default to from the start and to to the end respectively. Examples: a[ 2 : ] will return 'cdef'. Negative indices can be used to count from the end; a[ -2 ] will return 'e'. See the Python Tutorial at the Python web site (http://www.Python.org/) to learn more about arrays.
Blocks: Unlike C or Pascal-derived languages, there are no Start-Block or End-Block separators. Python works only with indentations (and the ":" character).
One of my colleagues in the firmware department recently had some problems debugging a TCP/IP application he is writing. There is a server application running in an embedded system, and a client application running on a PC. He was stuck for two days with a protocol problem, and didn't even know if the problem came from the client or from the server. Every test version meant recompiling, eventually downloading the code in the embedded system, and so on. In addition, it's not always easy to debug a device that doesn't even have a screen—you get the point.
So, after we discussed his problems, I decided to write little Python test programs to test his applications. In less than a quarter of an hour, I had tested his server application. This included writing a Python script and running it on a console of a Linux box, concurrently to tcpdump. Since the problem didn't come from the server, I wrote another program to test his client application. This script masqueraded the server, and we immediately discovered the problem. My colleague was very impressed by the short time it took me to write those two scripts, so I gave him a copy of the Python Tutorial.
Some simple scripts using sockets can be found in Listing 2a and2b. They are from the Python Library Reference.
My company sells time and attendance software in a client/server environment. Supported platforms include Unix and NT. The biggest problem with time and attendance is that, although general functionalities are the same for all our customers, they all have special specific rules. That's why the software department is considering the inclusion of the Python interpreter in their software. It would allow on-site customization, and it is available on all our platforms.
Thanks for tutorial! I found a syntax error.
Thanks for the tutorial. :)
There is a syntax error in listing 7, in the line "if len( fields ) = 0 :". You probably see it now, it should have been "==" and not "=" - we need the comparison operator, not the assignment operator.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Tornado safety quiz: Fact or Myth?
There are many widely held beliefs about the activity of tornadoes and ways to stay safe, but many of those beliefs are misconceptions.
Play along in our Tornadoes: Myth or Fact? quiz below to see how much you know, and so you can be better prepared when a severe storm hits. (All information courtesy NOAA.gov)
1. Myth or Fact? Tornadoes don't hit big cities.
2. Myth or Fact? My city doesn't get tornadoes because it is protected by a river.
3. Myth or Fact? Tornadoes don't happen in the mountains.
4. Myth or Fact? Tornadoes have picked people and items up, carried them some distance and then set them down without injury or damage.
Next page: Answers 1-4
1. MYTH: Tornadoes have hit several large cities, including Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita Falls, St. Louis, Miami, and Salt Lake City. In fact, an urban tornado will have a lot more debris to toss around than a rural twister.
A tornado approaches Dallas, Texas in April 1957 (Courtesy NOAA.gov)
2. MYTH: Many tornadoes have crossed rivers and even gone on to cause widespread damage to riverside cities. For example, the Nachez, Mississippi tornado of 1840 tracked directly down the Mississippi River, killing hundreds, mostly on the water. Others have crossed large rivers without losing speed (they momentarily became water spouts) and devastated cities that folklore had thought immune to tornadoes. An example was the Waco, Texas tornado of 1953 that crossed the Brazos River, or the Great St. Louis Cyclone of 1896 that jumped the Mississippi River.
3. MYTH: Tornadoes do occur in the mountains. Damage from an F3 tornado was documented above 10,000 feet, and a hiker in the mountains of Utah photographed a weak tornado in the mountains.
4. FACT: People and animals have been transported up to a quarter mile or more without serious injury. Fragile items, such as sets of fine china, or glass-ware have been blown from houses and recovered miles away without any damage. However, given the quantity of airborne debris, these occurrences are the exception, rather than the norm.
Next page: Questions 5-8
5. Myth or Fact? Hiding under a freeway overpass will protect me from a tornado.
6. Myth or Fact? I can outrun a tornado, especially in a vehicle.
7. Myth or Fact? Tornadoes are more likely to hit a mobile home park.
8. Myth or Fact? Strong, sturdy brick or stone buildings will protect me from a tornado.
Next page: Answers 5-8
5. MYTH: While the concrete and re-bar in the bridge may offer some protection against flying debris, the overpass also acts as a wind tunnel and may actually serve to collect debris. When you abandon your vehicle at the overpass and climb up the sides, you are doing two things that are hazardous. First, you are blocking the roadway with your vehicle. When the tornado turns all the parked vehicles into a mangled, twisted ball and wedges them under the overpass, how will emergency vehicles get through? Second, the winds in a tornado tend to be faster with height. By climbing up off the ground, you place yourself in even greater danger from the tornado and flying debris. When coupled with the accelerated winds due to the wind tunnel (Venturi Effect), these winds can easily exceed 300 mph. Unfortunately, at least three people hiding under underpasses during tornadoes have been killed in the past, and dozens have been injured by flying debris. If you realize you won't be able to outrun an approaching tornado, you are much safer to abandon your vehicle, and take shelter in a road-side ditch or other low spot. Note: If a highway overpass is your only shelter option, only consider it if the overpass has sturdy roadway supports, next to which (at ground level) you can take shelter. Avoid the smooth concrete, support-less spans at all costs.
6. MYTH: Tornadoes can move at up to 70 mph or more and shift directions erratically and without warning. It is unwise to try to out-race a tornado. It is better to abandon your vehicle and seek shelter immediately.
7. MYTH: Not so. It just seems that way for two reasons. First, mobile home parks are a ubiquitous part of our landscape. There are tens of thousands of mobile homes in Tornado Alley, so there is a pretty good likelihood that some of them will be in the path of a tornado. Unfortunately, the second factor is that mobile homes offer little to no protection against even the weakest tornadoes, so when a tornado does strike a mobile home park, the damage is more likely to be significant. Winds that would only lift some shingles on a frame house can easily flip a mobile home.
8. MYTH: While such buildings will provide more protection in a tornado than a mobile home or timber frame structure, the winds of a tornado can easily launch a 2x4 through a brick wall, and can cause even the sturdiest of buildings to experience roof or wall failure.

9. Myth or Fact? There can be higher than EF5 tornadoes.
10. Myth or Fact? To keep from being sucked into the tornado, I can tie myself to a well pipe, just like they did in the movie "Twister".
11. Myth or Fact? A tornado can drive a straw through a telephone pole.
12. Myth or Fact? When confronted by a Tornado Warning, you should open all the windows in your house to equalize the pressure.
13. Myth or Fact? Tornadoes do not occur in the middle of the night or during the winter.
14. Myth or Fact? A tornado will not come directly at me, I am safe.

9. FACT: The Fujita Tornado Damage Intensity Scale actually goes up to F12! The F12 level only begins at wind speeds exceeding Mach 1.0 (or around 738 mph at -3°C), so the probability of a tornado having winds of this speed is small. Could a tornado be an F6? Yes, however, the Fujita scale is based on wind speeds that are estimated from the damage the tornado produced (because no one has been able to stick an anemometer into a tornado to measure the actual wind speeds). Since the winds of an F5 tornado (up to 319 mph) are sufficient to completely destroy just about everything in its path, an F6 really wouldn't do much more damage than that, and therefore could not be definitively labeled as an F6. When accurate measurements of wind speed inside an extreme tornado are eventually obtained, it is not impossible that they may exceed 319 mph.
10. MYTH: While it is unlikely that a tornado will dislodge a deeply buried pipe, the rope you tie around yourself is more likely to act as a combination tetherball and cheese slicer. Lighter winds will likely cause you to be whipped around at the end of the rope, banging against anything within the radius of the rope. Stronger winds inside the tornado are just as likely to pull your body from the rope (and possibly not in one piece).
11. FACT: The forces inside a tornado are incredible, and still poorly understood. But they are certainly strong enough to turn otherwise harmless items into deadly missiles.
Anything can become a deadline projectile(Courtesy NOAA.gov)
12. MYTH: This just wastes valuable time. Don't worry about equalizing the pressure, the roof ripping off and the pickup truck smashing through the front wall will equalize the pressure for you.
13. MYTH: Although the likelihood is lower at night and during colder months, tornadoes have caused death and destruction during these times of day and year. Violent tornadoes, while very unlikely during the winter months do occur like in the Tri-State on March 2, and they do occasionally occur at night. When severe weather is forecast, ensure your NOAA weather radio is on and working properly before you go to bed.
14. MYTH: Tornadoes have been known to act erratically, often changing directions quickly. Sturdy shelter is the only safe place to be during a tornado. Although it may be tempting to follow a tornado to get a cool photo, please leave the tornado chasing to trained meteorologists.

A Knit Christmas Wreath Cover
By: Connie Haney
Decorate your steering wheel with yule tide and knitting. With this free knitting pattern you can make yourself a wonderfully looking wreath steering wheel cover. This makes for a great holiday gift.
- 2 skeins Caron Fling in Aloe
- Size 13 knitting needles
- Tapestry Needle
Finished Size
- Depends on steering wheel size.
- CO = Cast on
- K = Knit
- BO = Bind off
- First measure the circumference of your steering wheel. That is how long you'll knit your cover. Mine was 46" around, so I knit my piece until it was 46" long. The width of mine was about 4½" wide with a CO of 8 stitches. I would suggest making a 2 – 3" swatch to check that the 8 stitch width is enough to wrap around your steering wheel. The width really stretches so as long as you don't knit extremely tight, 8 stitches should be plenty.
- CO 8 stitches (add or decrease CO stitches as needed)
- Knit all rows until your piece is the length of your steering wheel.
- BO very loosely.
- Finished piece is not sewn on, but merely attached to the steering wheel with a length of yarn and using it to wrap the finished piece around your steering wheel. Cut a length of your Caron Fling about 2-3 yards in length and wind it into a little ball so it will be easier to wind around your steering wheel. Wind a second ball for the second wrap.
- Now just lay your finished piece onto the steering wheel with both ends at the bottom and the middle will be lying loosely at the top of your wheel. Starting at one end begin wrapping the width of the piece around the wheel and at the same time use your length of yarn to attach/wrap the piece to the wheel all around. Leave a long tail so that once you go all the way around you can tie these 2 end yarn pieces together.
- TIP: You may find it easier to temporarly attach your piece to the steering wheel first with short loops of a contrasting bulky yarn that you can cut away as you reach them.
- Keep wrapping the piece to your wheel in this manner until you reach the other end of your piece. Overlap one end of your piece over the beginning end and tie the 2 yarn ends together tightly.
- That was your first wrap and the piece should now be nicely attached to your steering wheel. Now using the second long length of Caron Fling wrap your steering wheel again paying close attention to wrapping in between the other wrap and closing up any areas that aren't wrapped around the wheel. Again tie the 2 yarn ends together tightly. Cut any yarn tails. Because you have used the Caron Fling to wrap the piece and attach it to the steering wheel the wrap doesn't show. Cover should be very snuggly attached to the steering wheel.
- All you do now is just attach your bow, also tying it onto the wheel with the Caron Fling. I took 2 lengths of the Caron Fling and put each through the loops of my bow and tied the bow to the steering wheel at the back. You can find the FREE bow pattern I used for mine at this link… http://www.enfys.me.uk/freebow.htm If you prefer just tie a satin ribbon in the same manner to the top of your steering wheel.
- When the Christmas season is over and you want to remove your cover, just run your fingers over the wheel and you should easily be able to feel where it's wrapped with the yarn strand. Cut that strand and unwrap your wheel. Remember there will be 2 strands wrapped around that you'll have to remove.
- This way you can save it to use again next year!

Discovering the meaning of the study abroad experience
February 24, 2014 Leave a comment
Zoe Malkin
Staff Writer.
How to begin an article encapsulating my time thus far in Denmark: Did I want to give little factoids about Copenhagen and its people? For example, how Danes leave their children in strollers outside of grocery stores and cafés because the city is so safe. There has never been a kidnapping in Denmark! Or, that all public libraries are closed on Sundays, a college student's prime day for work. But I thought that I wanted to share much more than that. And so here is my attempt to encapsulate this experience.

New Central Air Install quote
Hello all, I want to get some opinion on a new central air quote I received.
Traditional 4 bed 2.5 bath colonial in CT, oil boiler/radiant baseboard heat. No ducts. First floor is ~1300 sqft, second floor is ~900 sqft.
Quote was a little weird, just a paragraph, no itemized lists. Here is what is said:
Furnish and install a Trane 4 ton central air conditioning of the following equipment. Trane condenser model 4ttb3048, Trane air handler with cooling coil located in attic, refrigerant lines, condenser pad, gutter piping, honeywell cooling thermostat, drain pan, and necessary electrical connections. A total of 10 insulated supply outlet will be installed along with a central return. System will be started up and recharged with R-410 refrigerant. Condenser and air handler will have a 10 year manufacturer warranty, and labor and materials furnished by installer will be waranteed for 1 year.
Price $12,200
I am not convinced the guy did a model J calculation. He did make a drawing with rough sizes of the various rooms and recommended location of outlets. When done, he paced offed the outside of the house to get the overall dimensions and counted windows/doors.
We had been talking about an XR15 during his visit, but looks like he quoted me an XB13, the lowest model Trane makes. The quote does not call out the air handler model or thermostat model
Only 1 price is listed, no itemized price list. Is this typical?
Based on his visit, the 10 supply outlets would be 6" duct lines run off a central line int eh attic into the upper rooms and down through closets and be broken down like this:
2-master bed
3- 1 each in 3 smaller upstairs bedrooms.
2-living room
2-kitchen/breakfast room
A single large return in above the stairs.
Downstairs is fairly open 3-4ft wide openings between rooms (no doors), but upstairs, the bedroom doors are often closed, will they cool effectively without a return in each bedroom?
Bathrooms aren't huge, but should they have outlets as well?
In addition, the family room is on the end of the house, and the location of closets would at most only allow 1 inlet to this room, so he recommended a minispit. Its ~16x20 with vaulted ceiling, large picture window on one side, sliding glass door on the other side. He didn't quote this for me, but I would suspect it will be ~$3500-4500 extra installed.
Part of me just says walk away from this company, part of me says go ask questions and see if they can clear things up.
We currently have 6 window ACs, one in each bedroom, and two down stairs. The family room is the only issue, we can't put a window AC in there, so we put in the next room and keep a fan blowing on high to push air around.
Is a low end central air system still better than multiple window units? I think out biggest issue is the noise of all the units running and yearly install and uninstall/storage. Humidity control could be a bit better I think, but don't know if I would expect it to be significantly better with a central system.
Any advice is welcome!
Get some more quotes to confirm the price is competitive. Get the XR15 or another brands highest efficiency single stage. I would want higher than just 13 seer.
Ask for a heatpump instead of regular A/C. Price shouldn't be much more. This would allow you to heat cheaper than the oil when the weather isn't too cold and the price of oil is high. Heat pump heat is fine when weather is above 30 degrees unless the house is drafty.
You should get at least 3 quotes. You should focus on how each contractor proposes doing the installation. From this you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of each company.
I think the summers in CT are humid, so my recommendation would be to get a 2-stage condenser with a variable speed air handler. The heat pump may be a good option considering what your are paying for fuel oil.
You need more quotes.
I would want at a minimum one return upstairs and one return downstairs, properly sized of course.
I will assume you don't have nat gas access.
Add a HP instead of straight AC. This will help you in the shoulder mths and when temp is at or above temp balance point. Even at that, you could stretch the use of the heat pump with a heat strip that would be cheaper from an operational cost standpoint than the more expensive fuel oil.
Post electric rate and cost of fuel oil/gal.
"I am not convinced the guy did a model J calculation."
I'd just add that some companies get 95% of the Manual-J done by pulling plans @ the county office. When they show up on site they'll add the glass and door R-values. I ended up doing a full Manual-J myself because I thought they were B.S.ing me r.e. this method. All the heat gain and loss numbers were within a +/-2k range of my calculations.
You should absolutely get some more quotes from reputable HVAC contractors. I was very pleased with the A-rated Angie's List folks I had in my home.
(10) 6" supply ducts will not produce the required airlow (1600 cfm) for a 4 ton system.
Find a company that will supply you with a Manual J calculation.
Here is a link that might be useful: 9 facts you should know before investing your money in a central system
Ed is right, there is no way that is going to work as far as air flow is concerned. The system you should be looking at is a ductless A/C system. In this case you may need to do 2 single head systems to account for the higher heat load, but someone who does a proper manual J (which must include a blower door test to measure infiltration!) will be able to tell. As a company, we rarely install ducted systems anymore, they are a very low value and have much higher maintenance costs and lower efficiency. With ductless you will not need to install any ducting and will get near geothermal efficiency. PLUS it will cost almost 1/2 of your horrible, horrible first quote.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ductless Info and Pictures, etc.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I had some last minute travel for work, so haven't had much time to read what you all have to say, but catching up on it now.
1. Of course Iw ill get multiple quotes, I wouldn't spend 1K without getting multiple quotes let alone 10-20K.
2. Not interested in a heat pump. Electric rates are high here. House is fairly efficient, and I have a nice wood stove insert and 5 cords of wood read to go. Keeping warm is not my problem.
3. Correct, no natural gas available here. If it was, I would probably switch over.
4. Thanks for the information that 10-6" ducts will not supply enough air flow for a 4 ton system. Thats the sort of info I am looking for!
5. Started reading about mini-splits for use in the entire house, I think thats what you mean barrongreenteam...? Are they variable speed? Because I dont seem to see one under 9K BTUs, which is too big for the bedrooms?
Ive found this too. A lot of the HVAC folks will do things by the seat oftheir pants without rigor, not give you any real basis for what is being charged, and then act like how dare you question it...
More quotes is a good thing. Nothing wrong with a slightly lower unit in terms of tonnage, but if you know the unit you want for tech/efficiency.other reasons, no reason you shouldnt demand it. The installer may advise against it based upon experience, and that's good valuable info... But you need to decide what you really want.
Air flow of 10 pc of 6" supply will most likly only diliver under 2.5 tons of cooling and huge static pressure issues.
I would only install 7" flex ducts . and damper down only if needed.
his design 10 6" supplys at 1600 cfm will be noisey ,long run times and very high static pressure beyond mfg specs.

Of those arrests, Gusman's office said that 440 were made on state charges, 330 on municipal charges and 125 for traffic violations. Charges ranged from lewd conduct, public drunkenness and disturbing the peace to more serious violations, including arrests for illegal drugs or violent crime.
Additionally, the sheriff's office says it provided deputies for crowd control and escorts for many parades.

Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement on the December employment report. According to the Labor Department, unemployment fell to 6.7 percent and the economy added 74,000 jobs:
"Today's report shows why Republicans must join with Democrats to immediately extend emergency unemployment insurance for the 1.4 million Americans whose benefits were cut off in December. The economy is improving for some, but thousands of Americans in Nevada and across the country still cannot find work no matter how hard they try. These unemployed Americans deserve better than being left hanging by the leaders they sent to Washington to look out for them."
"There are two bills on the table: a one-year extension paid for with a measure supported just last month by both Democrats and Republicans, and a bipartisan, three-month extension that will give us time to continue negotiating. Republicans should join Democrats to pass one of these two measures to help those struggling to make ends meet. This is just simple common-sense, and I hope my Republican colleagues will agree."

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the external appearance of the vagina by way of labial reduction. There are a number of reasons why women undergo labiaplasty. It may be to correct damage from childbirth, reduce discomfort of an enlarged labia, or for aesthetic purposes.
Many women decide to undergo labiaplasty as part of a total vaginal restoration. Total vaginal restoration encompasses a number of different procedures designed to improve the appearance of the vulvar area. These procedures include labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and perineoplasty.
There are two types of labiaplasty: labia minora reduction and labia majora reduction.
Recovery time for labiaplasty is generally fairly brief, with the majority of healing occurring in the first few weeks. If you don't have a physically demanding job, you can generally return to work in a week or so. During recovery, it is very important to avoid strenuous activity, keep the area clean, and take antibiotics as prescribed. Dr. Safir will set a follow-up appointment with you so he can ensure that the area is healing properly.
Minor irritation and discomfort may occur, so take the pain medication that Dr. Safir prescribes. Don't resume sexual activity for 6-8 weeks.
Dr. Michael Safir is not only a board-certified urologist; he is also a nationally-renowned urologic surgeon. He specializes in the rapidly developing field of reconstructive urology. Dr. Safir is one of only a handful of urologists worldwide to have completed separate fellowship training in reconstructive female urology surgery (at UCLA) and male genitourinary surgery (at UCSF). The American Board of Medical Specialties has just recently recognized female pelvic reconstructive surgery as a distinct subspecialty.
Dr. Safir lectures at medical conventions and seminars, and travels throughout the country training other urologists and gynecologists in the latest, advanced techniques for surgical treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.

Alex Hales bludgeoned his first County Championship century in nearly two years as Nottinghamshire took control against Sussex at Hove.
While England toiled to 219 all out against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston, Hales blitzed 167 from 133 balls to show the one-day side what they are missing.
Sussex's Ed Joyce turned an overnight 104 into an unbeaten 164 in his side's first-innings total of 355 all out, but it was Hales' big hitting that dominated proceedings.
Nottinghamshire closed the third day with a commanding 404-run lead, after declaring on 336 for four in their second innings.
Sussex will resume on 29 without loss on the final day, resolved to bat through to secure a draw.
Hales' first four-day century since hitting 155 against Warwickshire in August 2012 included a mammoth boundary return of 18 fours and six sixes.
The 25-year-old became the first England player to fire a century in Twenty20 action in March with 116 against Sri Lanka, but was overlooked for the summer's five ODIs against the same opponents.
Nottinghamshire sent Hales on loan to Worcestershire last month, to help the short-format specialist find some four-day form.
Recalled after just one match of an intended month-long spell, Hales vehemently quashed any notion of being out of touch on Tuesday: 108 of his 167 runs came in boundaries.
England take on India in five ODIs in September, with calls likely to continue for Hales' inclusion after this howitzer innings.
Sussex resumed their first innings on 270 for eight at the start of the third day, Joyce quickly back into the groove.
Jon Lewis fell for 38, caught by Hales off Andre Adams after sharing in a 117-run stand with centurion Joyce.
Matthew Hobden hung around long enough to allow Joyce to turn Sussex's 333 for nine into the final 355 total.
Adams trapped Hobden leg before for a duck from three balls, completing Sussex's innings, with Joyce able to pass his 150 milestone in the process.
Adams proved the pick of the Nottinghamshire bowlers, returning figures of five for 65.
Nottinghamshire settled to their second innings without fuss, Phil Jaques sharing a century stand with Hales before departing on 39, clean bowled by Chris Nash.
Michael Lumb could only manage 13 before succumbing to Hobden, caught by Rory Hamilton-Brown, as Nottinghamshire reached 169 for two.
Hales' whirlwind innings finally came to an end when Nash drew a catch from Luke Wright, with Nottinghamshire on 251 for three.
Samit Patel had conjured 156 in Nottingham's first innings, but could find no repeat, making 19 before James Anyon had him caught by Matt Prior.
James Taylor then hit an unbeaten 65 with Riki Wessels 20 not out when Nottinghamshire declared on 336 for four, leading by 433 runs.
That handed the hosts a tricky half-hour, but openers Luke Wells and Nash survived until the close.

Review of Tom Daish, submitted at 2010-10-10 09:22:43, score: 6/10 I think the idea of Basil Poledouris doing a sporting hero film is just about as unlikely as Jerry Goldsmith or Randy Newman, but both of these composers turned out enjoyable and quite well known results in the form of Rudy and The Natural. Perhaps Basil's only precedent is his marvellous synth score Wind, indeed the opening track hints at that superb effort. The Main Theme is a mixture of orchestra and synths that fuse extremely well to produce a hopeful and slightly ra-ra sporting anthem as is a requirement in all American sporting movies. The other requirement is to have a montage sequence of either the life of the sportsperson in question or of them doing some training or having a winning streak and this is provided in the Relationship Montage, kind of a soft rock, guitar based effort which doesn't realy go anywhere fast, but sounds like, well, upbeat montage music.Electric guitars appear quite often in the score, in a kind of bluegrass/rock/Midnight Run kind of way in cues such as Tuttle Knockdown which is not a great deal more than a few riffs strung together over the percussion. American sporting movies must also contain some more touching moments - failure seems inevitable, the will to win is taking a toll on family life and relationships and so there is a touching period of self assesment of 'what is important in my life' whatever the sport may be; baseball in this case - I don't understand it, do you? - non Americans only. This is duly provided in some touching string and woodwind music in Jane's Home and makes up quite a bit of the central section of the album. For this reason, the middle tends to drag a little; a series of meandering sections of underscore do not really a great album make, pleasant though they often are.The most important sports movie ingredient is of course the payoff (or perhaps playoff) when said sport start comes through at the last minute and they win the game to win the league, blah, blah and this moment is marked with a monumental orchestral cue that gushes with American pride and will likely get used during the next Superbowl or World Series (which is curiously lacking in enough countries to constitute a series for the World to compete in). Basil does not disappoint with his fanfares and flourishes ending in Last Pitch which even includes a Biblical Epic style chorus and pretty much eclipses what has gone before and provides a superby rousing end to a mixed bag of a score.While not terribly original, the opening cue is certainly a lot more promising than the end result. The mixture of rock guitar, sentimental orchestra and then crowd pleasing orchestral blowout doesn't settle side by side terribly well. Even if it did, no one section has sufficient impact to stand out from the rest with the end result being the feeling that the score might work fine onscreen but not so well on disc. While it might have come out as even more conventional, perhaps sticking to the Wind formula of synths and occasional orchestra might have provided a score that lived up to the opening. As I seem to be commenting more than I'd like to, there are only so many ways to score a particular type of film, but in this case almost all of the precendents (as well as the above mentioned, Horner's exquisite Field of Dreams and Bernstein's derivative by hugely entertaining score to The Babe) are better. By no means a total wash out, but there are much better Poledouris scores about, in particular Wind which is just about the best synth score I've ever heard.

After a long drought Jenson Button finally saw the podium again in Hockenheim last weekend. Now its time for Budapest, a race that holds sweet memories for the former champion. With McLaren seemingly on the rise once more, they are memories he would love to add to with another Hungarian win on Sunday...
Q: Jenson, a few days on, how would you rate the penalty against Sebastian (Vettel) in Germany?
Jenson Button: Correct. We have a regulation where if you get an advantage off the circuit you get penalized for it. That is something that we all know.
Q: After your P2 finish in Hockenheim are you again en route to better results?
JB: I hope so. I felt pretty good in the car the last few races, but only at the last race we had good pace - and a reasonably good result in the end. Weve been able to fight at the front, which is great, and hopefully here we will be in the same position. The updates on the car helped us quite a bit and hopefully we will have some dry weather this weekend, because qualifying under wet conditions has been pretty tough for us.
Q: Budapest must be very dear to you from your experiences in the past
JB: It is. I won my first Grand Prix here - and last year my 100th! So, yes, it is dear to me - and I hope that I will have another great weekend here.
Q: Is it always possible to redevelop a car or is there a point where you know that there is nothing more to come?
JB: Well, you can go down one road and if you eventually find the end you have to try new things. Yes, you can find an end, but then you have to venture out in new directions. This might not always immediately bring you forward, but then you have to work your way through it. This, of course, is sometimes very tricky.
Q: When you look at the championship, it looks like it is quite urgent to react
JB: Yes, it is.
Q: But do you still see chances?
JB: Well, its a massive gap to Fernando (Alonso). Fernando and Ferrari have done an amazing job over the last few races and I know how difficult it is to come back from there. Actually I am not thinking about the championship - and every driver that you ask this weekend will tell you the same. We want to go racing, we want to fight in the front, and of course we want to win. Everything is so far in the future that it is useless to stare at the standings right now.
Q: So looking back at Hockenheim, was it really the updates that helped you to P2?
JB: Yes. It was the second time this year that the race pace was really there - there was nobody quicker - so that is good news. The last race was definitely a big step in the right direction, so lets hope that we will have more of the same this weekend. It would be nice to have a dry qualifying - that would help a lot as we have a couple of things here that should help us when fine-tuning for this circuit. But the majority of the car is what we had in Hockenheim, as it was only a week ago, and weve been reasonably happy there.
Q: McLaren now holds the fastest pit stop record - it was performed on your car at Hockenheim. Do you notice or find yourself saying, Hey man, that was quick?
JB: You do, and now our reaction time becomes even more crucial to the pitting time. (laughs) Now we have to be ready for our crew. And that pit stop really did help me to get second place in the race, so thank you very much guys. And lets do it again here!

Air Quality
Australia State of the Environment Report 2001 fact sheet
Department of the Environment and Heritage, February 2002
What is happening overall?
The quality of urban air has generally improved or remained constant for most years, but emissions of pollutants in cities, mainly from vehicles remains of concern. Since 1996 Australian governments have introduced ways to improve the health and understanding of the atmosphere.
What is being done to improve air quality?
Governments have agreed a set of air quality standards and a goal of meeting these standards no later than 2008. However, available air quality data indicate that the standards have been met with few exceptions in most urban and regional areas since 1997. This can be attributed to the substantial efforts to reduce pollution from vehicles and major industrial sources.
How do we measure air quality?
Scientists use particles to assess air quality. Particles float in the air and are very small - less than 1/20th the diameter of the average human hair. There are many types of particles in the atmosphere. The very small (or fine) particles are of most concern to human health because they can be inhaled deeply into the lungs.
Why are particles and air quality important?
Particles can exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, such as bronchitis, pneumonia and asthma, that can lead to increased hospital admissions and emergency room visits. Particles have also been linked to deaths. Up to 2,400 deaths a year in Australia are estimated to be linked to particles, with an associated health cost of $17.2 billion.
Where do particles come from?
A wide range of human activities generates particles in urban and rural areas. They include combustion, mechanical and photochemical processes.
The coarser (or larger) particles tend to be produced through mechanical processes, such as wind erosion, mining and minerals processing. Finer particles tend to be combustion-derived, for example motor vehicle exhaust (mainly diesel vehicles), wood combustion, motorised garden equipment and power generation. Tiny secondary particles are formed by the transformation of gaseous pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, through photochemical reactions in the atmosphere.
There are also a number of important natural sources of particles. These include sea salt, dust, emissions from vegetation, pollen and bushfires.
In Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide, the main sources of particles during winter are combustion and mechanical processes, whereas in areas such as Canberra and Launceston, the main source of particles is combustion, mainly wood burning for heating.
Particle levels vary on a seasonal basis. Woodsmoke can significantly increase particle levels during the cooler months across southern Australia, with increased secondary particle formation occurring during warmer periods.
Bushfires, such as those near Sydney in 1997, or hazard reduction burns on the outskirts of urban areas can significantly increase particle levels. In Perth, the typical source contribution of particles varies with each season. Much of the time smoke from industrial or residential combustion is the dominant source. However, during certain seasons other processes may dominate, for example, windblown soil.
Climate and topographical conditions significantly influence particle levels in rural and regional Australia. In warmer regions, dry conditions contribute to bushfires, and windblown dust. In cooler regions, the widespread use of domestic wood fires for heating can lead to high levels of particles.
What are we doing to manage particles that affect air quality?
Because particles can damage human health, steps have been taken to reduce particle levels in Australia. These include:
- legislating higher fuel quality standards and setting stricter emission standards for motor vehicles;
- setting a national ambient air quality standard for particles under the National Environment Protection Measure for Ambient Air Quality (Air NEPM);
- imposing tighter emission standards for new wood heaters and providing educational materials on their correct operation;
- implementing the Australian Minerals Industry Code for Environmental Management to reduce dust emissions from mining areas; and
- encouraging better coordination between responsible authorities to limit air pollution from essential hazard reduction burns.

What cycling can learn from sailing
Cycling broadcasting needs to dragged into the 21st century.
They drive carbon fiber machines that cost huge amounts money and have been aerodynamically designed for speed. The athletes wear helmets and wear skin tight clothing adorned with sponsor logos on almost all the available space. The event lasts for two and a half weeks with 19 individual races that determine an overall winner. I could be talking about bike racing. Instead I'm talking about the America's Cup.
In a stunning finale Team USA's Oracle AC 17 boat overcame from an eight race deficit to defeat New Zealand's The Fly Emirates boat. It didn't take long for commentators to start describing it as one of the greatest sport comebacks in history.
Initially I thought the America's Cup was a bunch of rich guys racing their expensive toys in the harbor while sipping martinis. Sure, the boats are owned by rich guys – in the case of America's boat software billionaire Larry Ellison who was reported to have spent an estimated $500 million the last 11 years to win the Auld Mug trophy, the America's Cup winner's trophy.
I tweeted a couple of weeks ago, "A boat race is exciting? Really?" I knew I'd take some heat from Twitter as people were worked up about Oracle taking the win. Admittedly I tweet sometimes just to get a rise out of people. As expected I got flak from people describing how exciting the race was, so I decided to take a longer look than the cursory glance I'd taken before.
I watched races 17 and 18 on the America's Cup YouTube channel and it was exciting to watch. I had to wait until the following day for them to upload the history-making race 19.
While exciting to watch, I was blown away by the production value of the broadcast. The positions of the boats were marked by GPS telling the viewers how much of a lead a boat had. Further, the graphics showed the wind direction, current, and the path they had sailed.
On the boats themselves several mounted onboard cameras brought the action to the viewers. I couldn't help but contemplate what professional cycling could learn from the America's Cup.
GPS is used in cycling broadcasts, but there is a lot of room to improve the graphics of the broadcast such as showing wind direction and using on-screen diagraming to show tactics in action. This is going to require a younger commentator who can react and commentate on what could be a rapidly changing race situation.
In addition to the cameras we were able to hear audio from the sailors. While I had no idea of what the terminology meant, what I could understand was the excitement or tension in the voices of the sailors.
There should be some serious thought into putting cameras on select riders, but also in all the team cars. I've spent my fair share of time in team cars during races and I'll be the first to admit that it isn't an action packed experience (There are plenty of photos of mechanics and journalists asleep in the back

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 22, 2007 Release No. M-18-07 NEW CITY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT REPLACES Mayor Mufi Hannemann today announced the formal establishment of the new City Department of Emergency Management to replace the Oahu Civil Defense Agency. "This change recognizes the expanded role the Oahu Civil Defense Agency has played in the administration and oversight of federal homeland security programs for the City and protecting the populace," said Hannemann. "The Oahu Civil Defense Agency has done a fine job for many, many years and it's about time we acknowledge that it is a vital, cabinet-level body." "The term emergency management is a more accurate reflection of the prevention, preparation, response and recovery coordination role of OCDA in today's society," said Hannemann. The Department of Emergency Management will not replace or control the activities of City first responders. The primary role of the department will be to coordinate and facilitate emergency operations, training, information sharing, and federal Department of Homeland Security grant application and administration. In the event of an emergency, DEM will activate the City's The new Emergency Management director will continue to be a civil servant and subject to hiring under current civil service guidelines. This is an important factor to ensure that the department retains the long-term stability and direction as it transitions from one administration to another. Hannemann announced that Peter Hirai, acting administrator of the Oahu Civil Defense Agency, will lead the new department on an acting basis. "We are modernizing and emerging into the 21st century with additional duties and responsibilities that have been placed on us since 9/11," said Hirai. "This elevation from an agency to a department will enhance our role in the protection of the residents and visitors on -30- Contact: Bill Brennan, 527-6928 Mark Matsunaga, 527-5767 |
