HARTFORD, CT — Lieutenant Governor Michael Fedele; Attorney General Richard Blumenthal; Jerry Farrell, Department of Consumer Protection; Lieutenant Paul Vance, Connecticut State Police; Steph Downs, Connecticut Beverage Mart; Andrew Hillman, Connecticut Distributors and Bill Georges of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Future Brands LLC; Hood River Distillers, Inc; and Sidney Frank Importing Co. Inc., joined forces today to launch a public awareness campaign in Connecticut to prevent underage drinking. The initiative, called "We Don't Serve Teens," was developed by The Federal Trade Commission and is designed to inform adults that providing underage drinkers with alcohol is unsafe, illegal, and irresponsible.
Today's launch at Connecticut Beverage Mart was held in conjunction with "We Don't Serve Teens Week," a national effort aimed at educating adults on how youth obtain the alcohol they drink and how to discourage underage drinking not only during the back to school season, but also throughout the year. Lieutenant Governor Fedele will be working with local and national partners to distribute "We Don't Serve Teens" materials to make adults aware of the legal consequences associated with providing alcohol to people under 21. Today's event is one of seventeen events taking place nationwide from September 10th – September 21st.
"Study after study suggests that youth who illegally drink alcohol obtain it from individuals they know," said Lieutenant Governor Fedele. "Data show, again and again, that kids cite their parents as the leading influence over their decision to drink - or not to drink - alcohol. When you talk, they really do listen. It is my hope this campaign will encourage parents to start and continue a dialogue with their teen about the dangers of underage drinking."
"We are unveiling the We Don't Serve Teenscampaign today to help prevent underage purchases and consumption of alcohol throughout the year. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has found that 65% of the youth say that they get the alcohol they drink from family and friends, meaning they get it from their parents, their friends' parents, older siblings or family members or older friends, with or without permission. Turning a blind eye is as irresponsible as putting a drink in their hands," said Bill Georges of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility.
To determine parents' perspective on the issue of adults providing alcohol to underage youth, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility commissioned a survey of 1,000 adults. The results show that, overwhelmingly, parents do not believe it is acceptable for other adults to provide beverage alcohol to underage youth. Ninety-six percent of adults said it is unacceptable for another parent or other adult to provide alcohol to their teenager without their permission. Further, all survey respondents said if they learned another parent or adult provided alcohol to their teenager without their permission, they would consider taking recourse against the other parent, or their child.
The top actions adults would take include:
- speaking with my child about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking (93%),
- call that adult and express my objections/feelings/opinions (86%),
- restrict my child's time at that family's house (80%),
- limit my child's relationship with that family (76%),
- notify other parents (74%), and
- punish my own child (69%).
Other actions adults report they would take if such an incident occurred include calling the police (44%), reporting the incident to the school (40%), and taking legal action, such as file charges, sue them, etc. (34%).
"Among 12-20 year olds, more than 33 percent reported past month alcohol consumption in Connecticut (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)," said Attorney General Blumenthal. "The key with all young people is to take action before your child is faced with making a decision in regards to alcohol."
"Fighting drunk driving and underage drinking is a community effort – everyone participating in today's event is key to this campaign's success, from parents to law enforcement to retailers," said Jerry Farrell. "And the effort doesn't stop here. Teachers, grandparents and anyone who works with teens in our area have the power to help us fight underage drinking."
"I am on the front lines of the battle against underage
drinking every day in my role at Connecticut Beverage Mart," said Steph
Downs. "The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's We Don't Serve Teens campaign is just
one of the many examples of how we can work to prevent underage
drinking and purchasing of alcohol here in Connecticut. I am proud to
wear my lapel pin and, as you can see, we have posted the "We Don't
Serve Teens" materials throughout the store to display how committed we are to fighting underage drinking and keeping Connecticut's teens safe."
"The fight against underage drinking is one that we all must continue to battle on all fronts," Andrew Hillman added. "Restaurants, wholesalers, retailers – all of us – need to play a role in the fight against underage drinking, to lower, and hopefully eliminate, underage drinking in Connecticut."
The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of Connecticut will distribute point of purchase materials to 2,400 retail establishments across Connecticut as a reminder to parents and other adults that providing alcohol to teens can mean serious consequences and to encourage them to speak up about underage drinking. Additionally, The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, Inc. will distribute 60,000 packages of We Don't Serve Teens materials to retailers nationwide. Elements of the campaign include television and radio public service announcements, print ads, lapel pins, register signs, and posters.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has distributed the "We Don't Serve Teens" radio PSA to radio stations statewide as a reminder to parents and other adults that providing alcohol to teens can mean serious consequences and to encourage them to speak up about underage drinking.
The "We Don't Serve Teens" campaign involves a coalition of public and private sector organizations brought together by the Federal Trade Commission, that includes The Century Council, Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, Inc., the U.S. Department of Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Students Against Destructive Decisions, the National Liquor Law Enforcement Association, the Responsible Retailing Forum, the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, Inc., the National Consumers League, and the American Beverage Licensees. Elements of the campaign include a television public service announcements, print ad, lapel pins, cold case stickers, register signs, and posters.

Compositing should have very little impact but in practice it seems that it doesn't work so well and there are big slowdowns.
And related to the FPS. Just yesterday I have tried a bit skyrim in windows 7 on a middle class notebook with the newest stable catalyst from amd.com. It definitely has problems with latency. Sometimes even if fraps displays 40+ FPS I see a very noticeable micro stutter. So it probably depends on multiple factors like the game, the drivers, the scheduler, etc.

We're having trouble after moving in
Thanks to the folks who attended the "Cruel Intentions" screening on Friday. It was ... scandalous. With high-waisted jeans and bittersweet symphonies.
Q: My boyfriend and I having been living together for over a year. He lived with me at MY old apartment and then we decided to get one together. I'm 26, he's 24. I'm a working a professional, he works from home. In the time that we have lived at the new apartment, we've had a lot of up and downs, mostly with him having commitment issues after moving. But we have gotten through it and are at a good point in our relationship -- sort of.
I think it's important to have time out individually but he NEVER invites me out with his friends. For example, I am a football fan, and we watched every game this season at home alone together -- but when he got invited to a Super Bowl party, he didn't bring me. It's upsetting because I'd like to be invited sometimes.
Also, he's not very interested in sex anymore. I know we've been together for a while and it's not going to be every night, but he just seems to have no interest. I've talked to him about it and he says he wants to work on it, but nothing changes. I've also talked to him about the hanging out issue, and he says "I hang out with you all the time, I want to go out sometimes, you shouldn't make me feel bad about it." I'd like some advice. I don't want to break up but I don't know what this all means?!!!
– Nurse J, New York
A: This doesn't sound promising, NJ. As soon as you started living together (as opposed to just crashing in the same place) he became disinterested and began looking for ways to escape.
His working from home doesn't help matters. I'm sure that the isolation makes it that much more important for him to have alone time with peers. But why didn't he have these problems in the old place? And why the lack of interest in sex?
There's certainly an adjustment period with move-ins, but you can only be so understanding and accommodating. He seems unhappy with this living arrangement, so you have to ask him why. Is this job angst or does he regret moving into the new apartment? If he could design his perfect life right now, where would he live? Where would you live? How often would you have sex? How would you spend time together?
Instead of telling him why this isn't working for you, ask him those big questions. You might find out that when it comes to goals for cohabitation, you're simply incompatible. Or maybe you'll learn that these issues are easy to fix and temporary. So ask. Discuss his answers and your own. Find out whether you can be happy with his plan for the future. If not, get a new roommate.
Readers? Is this a weird move-in phase or is there a bigger problem? If you live with someone, should you invite them out with your friends? How does his job affect their issues? Discuss.

This is just embarrassing to watch.
Phoronix: Building & Running The Ubuntu Mir Display Server
The latest coverage of today's surprise announcement of Canonical developing Mir, their own display server for Ubuntu, is information on building and running the Mir display server with the code they open-sourced today. There's also a Phoronix video showcasing the (sad) state of the Mir client demo...
This is just embarrassing to watch.
I don't think we are supposed to watch it and/or comment it.
this is canonical's property.
all jokes aside, the joke that has been going for years that ubuntu is not linux but windows due to the easy way of doing things, now I realize that linux and ubuntu are 2 separate meanings. I don't know why those antics are happening with the display servers, but I know that we were eating from the same soup and now we are spooning each others' eyes.
I just don't get it. How did with people no experience in this stuff make their own display server? Is it a fork of Android's SurfaceFlinger has orginally rumored?
Even if it is fun to bash I truly think that Canonical wouldn't waste time on something they didn't thought was mandatory for the evolution of Ubuntu, yes, it is not helping neither X or Wayland developers and it looks like the TO-DO list is longer then the "done" one, but again, Canonical isn't playing around and we all saw it with Steam and Ubuntu phone, I say, lets wait & see
Last edited by ba7a7chy; 03-05-2013 at 12:07 AM. Reason: typos
Canonical/Ubuntu are doing everything they can to make success, which will flow onto the broader Linux community. I hope people get behind them as they plan to take on most devices and computing with their plans.
Regarding implementing the feature, most of the work is done in other project, they simply need to adapt it to suit Mir's structure.
This sounds like the sham of "trickle down" economics all over again.
Last edited by Hamish Wilson; 03-05-2013 at 12:40 AM.
Did someone release the joke a month early?
Okay guys, just because they think they have good reasons for it doesn't make Canonical right. They're taking a huge risk for us, and this is why it's so unsafe to have a 'flagship' Linux distro. In light of these events, I think it would be important to bolster the strength and usability of the alternatives, like openSuSE and Fedora. Unfortunately, aside from the DEs, their user experiences seem to be even more misguided than Ubuntu's, albeit compatible.
We need an Ubuntu-killer, as well as Ubuntu.

Listening is a skill which requires active participation. A
student must listen skillfully if learning is to occur. Also, attitude is
probably the most important element for active listening. So assume a
positive attitude!! Convince yourself that the lecturer has something
useful to share.
The student reveals a positive attitude by maintaining a pleasant facial
expression. Keeping your eyes on the lecturer when not writing notes and
nodding your head when you agree are both forms of active participation.
As a result, you will notice a more enthusiastic flow of words and ideas.

Gallery: Gigantic Coal Gasometers Transformed into Thriving Communities...
The gasometers are four gigantic gas tanks enclosed by a brick façade, each approximately 230 feet tall, 197 feet in diameter, and with a storage capacity of over 3 million cubic feet. Once used for the storage of coal gas, the gasometers were retired in 1984 as the city shifted over to natural gas. By 1981 these structure were classified as heritage buildings due to their unique architecture, and thus escaped demolition. Despite random use since the closing of the plant (see the setting in the James Bond movie The Living Daylights. Also see: rave venue hosting Gazometer-Raves – the term "Gazometer" was coined on its scene) they remained on the whole abandoned empty containers.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Speaker John Boehner announced Tuesday that he supports a plan to balance the federal budget in 10 years, a goal that could require massive cuts to spending or major reforms to entitlement programs.
Boehner made the announcement to members of his Republican conference in a closed-door meeting before describing his plan to reporters.
"Chairman Paul Ryan has worked hard with the Budget Committee to outline the kind of reforms we'd put in place to bring real fiscal responsibility here to Washington," the speaker said. "And I think the American people understand you can't continue to spend money that you don't have. It's time for us to come to a plan that will in fact balance the budget over the next 10 years. It's our commitment to the American people."
Previously, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan proposed a budget that took more than 20 years to bring the budget into balance, meaning a 10-year plan would likely include significantly more spending cuts or reforms to entitlement programs. This is unlikely to sit well with Senate Democrats. Ryan's previous plan was the target of Democratic attacks for its proposed cuts to Medicare and other government programs, particularly during Ryan's run as the GOP vice presidential candidate.
Boehner was speaking the day before the House is slated to vote on a temporary measure increasing the debt ceiling for three months. Some conservative Republicans have voiced opposition to a short-term measure that doesn't include spending cuts, which they say must be paired with an increase in the debt limit.
The short-term debt limit increase proposed by House Republicans mandates that both chambers of Congress pass a budget in the next four months. Otherwise, House GOP leaders have warned, members of Congress will go without pay.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said Sunday that a Senate budget plan is in the works but cautioned that Republicans might not like it since the measure will include tax increases.
Kansas Republican Rep. Tim Huelskamp was critical. "Raising the debt ceiling for a budget to be named later is to me something I'm probably won't be able to vote for."
On Tuesday, Boehner told House Republicans that "passing a short-term hike buys time for the House and Senate both to pass a budget," according to a GOP source in the meeting.
Earlier Tuesday, the White House said the president would support a short-term debt limit increase, saying it "lifts the immediate threat of default." That was something of a reversal for Obama, who at a news conference last week warned that "we shouldn't be doing this on a one to three-month timeframe."
Boehner also said Tuesday that across-the-board spending cuts that were delayed when the fiscal cliff was averted at the beginning of the year would remain in place unless spending cuts and reforms are enacted.
Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, who frequently breaks with GOP leaders, said he'll vote for the short-term debt ceiling increase, but he warned that conservatives plan to hold GOP leaders' feet to the fire on their pledge to pass a bill that balances the budget within a decade.
"They have caved every single time in the last two years, and I have made it very explicit to them that I am with them on this issue because I believe their statements that they're not going to cave again," Labrador said Wednesday, adding: "But if they cave again, they're going to have some problems in the House because there are a large number of members -- Republican House members -- who are very dissatisfied with what's happening."

Reviews of the Week
The Observer about Miklós Perényi's solo album
"Britten Bach Ligeti"
This disc of solo cello music, with a spirited account of Bach's D major Suite VI, BWV1012 at the centre, offers a chance to hear the Hungarian cellist Miklós Perényi (b.1948) at his virtuosic best. A one-time pupil of Pablo Casals, Perényi has a warm, big-boned, springy tone and brings expressive variety to Britten's Suite No 3 Op 87 (1971), written in a matter of days for his friend Rostropovich. Its nine short movements unfold as if from one musical seed, flowering in the final Passacaglia, which is almost as long as the total of the preceding sections. Ligeti's two-movement, folk-inspired Sonata (1948-53), dating from the dark days of Hungary and not approved for broadcast by the Soviet authorities, makes an atmospheric conclusion.
Fiona Maddocks, The Observer
Tim Berne's
receives further press in Jazzwise
Tim Berne, noted explorer of the tensions between composition and improvisation, knew exactly what he was doing in assembling his latest band. Here, the iconoclastic New York saxophonist has constructed a vehicle that allows his purposeful musical personality to shine through both in terms of the group arrangements and his own expressive voice. Overall, (as befits Berne's first release on ECM as a leader), the tunes have a cerebral feel. [...] Berne's sax rises upwards into an earthy extra dimension, as breezy and urban as a yellow taxi cab. There's a chamber music delicacy to it all, sure, but it's one that's suffused with genuine humanity and more than a little wisdom.
Daniel Spicer, Jazzwise
The Independent reviewed
"Canticle of the Sun"
by Sofia Gubaidulina
Featuring unorthodox showcases for violin and cello, this album is testament to the sensitive individualism of Sofia Gubaidulina. Performed by Gidon Kremer's Kremerata Baltica, "The Lyre of Orpheus" proceeds via a series of discrete violin flourishes and glissandi, until coaxed into the open under cover of the ensemble. Its inclusion of sleighbells is one example of Gubaidulina's characteristic use of unusual percussion, which reaches further exremes in her setting of St Francis's "Canticle of the Sun" when cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, having detuned his instrument to its lowest possible note, eventually abandons it to bow first a drum, then a flexatone device. Strange, but beautiful.
Andy Gill, The Independent
Andy Sheppard, Michel Benita and Sebastian Rochford with
"Trio Libero"
in Jazzwise
This is an album of stately elegance and beauty. Featuring 13 tunes over its 51-minute length, it flows gracefully from one track to the next. Balance and poise in this context are everything for this is music that unfolds before you rather than grabs at your attention. [...] It's the subtlety of the interplay and sense of freedom that this record exudes that makes it so special. It's rich in colours of autumn and winter, at times austere but never gloomy, while on occasions the warmth of spring hints at renewal. A truly gorgeous piece of music-making.
Duncan Heining, Jazzwise

Lunch was actually a late post workout/running around breakfast. It was sort of a hash with sweet potatoes, mustard greens, garlic, ginger Cajon hot sticks (the best protein option I could find) and a few eggs thrown in there as well. Pretty darn good.

You call her every day … you shop for her … you take care of her repairs … you drive her to the doctor and help her with paperwork. You'd like to do more, but you've got your job and your own family to think about, too. And yet, you worry about your mom being home by herself so many days. And you're not alone. Nearly one in every four Americans is caring for an older adult, and the stress can take its toll.
Home Instead Senior Care's® companionship services not only relieve stress and worry for family caregivers, but they also provide the healthy interaction and activity that are vital for seniors in retaining cognitive abilities and physical health. Our kind and thoughtful CAREGiversSM truly enjoy working with seniors. And we find that most seniors are much more likely to accomplish tasks and participate in favorite activities when they simply have a companion with whom to enjoy them.

There's a celebrity in the foot-fetish world who posts videos with titles like "Hot Mature Sexy Feet." The videos feature a woman who looks like Jets coach Rex Ryan's wife, Michelle — and, in one, a man offscreen who sounds like Rex.
A few years back, YouTube user "ihaveprettyfeet" — who shares a number of personal characteristics with Michelle, though we'll get to that later — made a series of videos, apparently starring herself. In them, her feet, whether in stockings or shoes or simply bare, are always prominently displayed. An attractive older blonde, "ihaveprettyfeet" became hugely popular, to the point that when YouTube banned her account for terms of service violations, devotees took to message boards to wonder where she'd gone.
Her videos have been reposted by others on YouTube, and with so many followers, it was only a matter of time before one of them happened to be a Deadspin reader, too. We received a tip from one such person that "ihaveprettyfeet" was the spitting image of Michelle Ryan, wife of maybe the most popular coach in the NFL. "At least a twin sister," the tipster said. Michelle Ryan doesn't have a twin sister, but judge for yourself.
We were told by one source that if this is Michelle Ryan, there's no way Rex knows about it. But listen closely to the voice of the cameraman. Multiple viewers, including a YouTube commenter, have observed that it sounds an awful lot like Rex. Now, we're not into feet or anything, but if that is indeed Michelle, and that is indeed Rex, well, more power to the both of them. Like many, many people out there, Rex is just in love with his wife's feet. Shit, it's almost romantic.
But the connections only begin with surface resemblances. We found "ihaveprettyfeet"'s personal profile on a foot fetishist dating site. She lists her location as Ellicott City, Md. When Rex Ryan was an assistant coach with the Ravens, his profile on the official team city had him living with his family in Ellicott City, Md. Michelle Ryan was born in August 1963, a Virgo. "ihaveprettyfeet" lists herself as a Virgo. Michelle Ryan taught high school English before retiring to raise her kids; "ihaveprettyfeet" has a graduate degree, is married with kids, and lists herself as a homemaker. Michelle Ryan once said that, in heels, she was "a foot [shorter]" than her 6'4" husband; "ihaveprettyfeet" lists herself as 5'2". To be sure, there is also an Ellicott City "ihaveprettyfeet" listed on this swingers site. It's a couple's profile. The husband checks in at a very un-Rexlike 5'10, 180 pounds.
We know that Michelle Ryan's far from shy, modeling for an NFL fashion lined aimed at women. We know "ihaveprettyfeet" is anything but shy. Still, her online activity petered out in mid-2009, around the time that Rex was entering the New York media spotlight. An attempt to lay low would explain her abrupt disappearance, as well as the two-year age discrepancy on her dating profile.
A lot of you will judge the Ryans over this. Please don't. Lots of Americans have bizarre tastes. Just think: There are people out there who'll cheer for the Jets.
UPDATE: Via a commenter, here's the Alt.com profile for "ihaveprettyfeet." Note the introduction. And on the second screengrab below, look at the birthdays — "his" is Aug. 31, 1963 (Michelle was born in August 1963); "hers" is Dec. 13, 1962 (Rex Ryan's birthday).

Swapnote, also known as Nintendo Letter Box elsewhere, is the free messaging service for the Nintendo 3DS, available exclusively via the Nintendo eShop. I'll spare the details of its functionality and the like, since I will assume that anyone who reads this thread already knows everything there is to know about the application.
I have made this thread as an outlet for those here at GoNintendo who wish to discuss Swapnote, be it their own thoughts, questions or advice, or, what I personally am most interested in, new special stationery.
I'm sure that you're all aware that over time, Nintendo or its partners send out special messages that typically come with a unique stationery that you can save and use for your own purposes, regardless of whether you got the message or not. There are a lot out there, and not only do I strive to collect them all, I intend to document each and every one of them as they come, for as long as they do.
The following spoiler contains makeshift names, approximate release dates, and image rips of all known special stationery for Swapnote. I give credit to those at GBAtemp for the images.

It is worth mentioning that it is not possible to have multiple different region versions of the exact same stationery stored on the same Nintendo 3DS at the same time. While you can receive and save the version that doesn't match your region for later use, it will always be overwritten by the one that does match your region if you ever receive it by anyone. After that, your foreign stationery will no longer be able to be saved to your collection unless you delete the proper one.
You're all welcome to make any stationery swap arrangements with other members here. I kindly ask that no one begs me for any of them, however. Nothing personal.
If you ever find that this list is outdated, do not hesitate to post here and let me know. In that case, I'll see to it that the list is updated as soon as possible.
Need help trying to get special stationery? Refer to my guide (spoilered for size):
There are two ways to obtain these special stationery, both of which require wireless communication. It is not possible to unlock them by yourself and use Play Coins to purchase them.
The ability to use different stationery, special or not, isn't available once you start using Swapnote, and it must be unlocked. Once you have a specific number of notes saved (a collective pool of every note you have, including your own notes and any replies), you will receive a note from Nikki that will let you save special stationery. I don't know of the exact number required for receiving this note or which note this is (there are three that involve stationery, but none of them specifically mention the existence of special stationery), but once you do obtain this ability, any special stationery accompanied with all future notes will be saved to your 3DS.
To optimize the opportunities of receiving special stationery, you want to go to Settings and have the following options enabled (Yes):
- SpotPass Activated - So that you can receive any notes through SpotPass, which may or may not contain special stationery.
- StreetPass Activated - So that you can receive any notes through StreetPass, which may or may not contain special stationery.
- Special Notes Received - So that you can receive special notes from Nintendo and its partners via SpotPass, which always contain special stationery.
Lastly, while I can't confirm this for sure, I believe that additional stationery is saved to your SD card. In your System Settings, Swapnote is saved under two different entries: one for the application itself and another for "extra data", which I think may include saved notes and special stationery. That said, if the extra data really does expand and consume more memory whenever you're saving that kind of data, I have the idea that if your SD card is completely full, it will become impossible to save anything more. As a precaution, make sure your SD card is not full to ensure your ability to save special stationery.
Receiving Special Stationery
The main way is by receiving special notes that are sent by Nintendo or its partners during the time of their distribution. In order to receive these special notes, an important step to do is that you must go to Settings and enable the Special Notes Received option with Yes. With this, you will automatically receive special notes whenever they're given out, which typically will offer new stationery that you can not obtain otherwise. Enabling the option will not retroactively have the special notes sent prior to your setting activation be sent to you, so you shouldn't expect anything to happen until a new special note is sent out.
Now, let's say a special note is sent out. How will you know? Well, if you did everything correctly and have everything necessary enabled, you will receive a SpotPass notification on your Home Menu (alternatively, while you're already in the application, tap SpotPass Delivery Check for a manual search of note deliveries). Let the note and any others download. You won't know if it's a special note until you open it and you see a gold border around it when displaying the preview. After reading the contents of the special note, what should happen immediately after exiting the note is that the application will pause for about five seconds with the message that it's saving the stationery. Once the note is saved, you can use it as many times as you'd like.
It's worth noting that not every special note is sent to everyone because they're for specific audiences (the Bravely Default: Flying Fairy special stationery, for example, was issued in a special note that was only distributed in Japan), so if you want those particular stationery that accompany them, you will want to receive a note containing that stationery from a friend.
This other method of receiving special stationery is especially handy for getting the ones that you weren't able to get through special notes, and it's really easy. Just have a friend send you a message with the special stationery that you want, and it will be saved to your collection just as it would if it came from a special note. It does not matter if the special stationery originally came from a region that doesn't match yours, it's yours to keep.
StreetPass will ultimately become your last resort if you can't get Internet on your 3DS. It works entirely the same as getting a special note or a regular note from an online friend. As long as you can find people who have those special stationery and they have the according note queued for StreetPass, you can theoretically obtain every special stationery without ever having to go online.
Using Your Special Stationery
Now that you have your special stationery saved, you'll eventually want to try it out when writing a note. To do this, tap Write a Note, and in the options, choose Change Stationery. It is here that all of your stationery, including special stationery, appear. Slide through the gallery all the way to the right, which is where all special stationery would be stored. If you see the special stationery there, then that you means you've successfully downloaded it and are able to use it.

IVAPM is Your Ultimate Resource for Animal Pain Management.
IVAPM is an international organization. We are the leading source of education in pain management and offer the only interdisciplinary certification program available today. We have developed guidelines for veterinary pain management and support research in the field through the IVAPM Research and Scholarship Foundation. Our members are professionals with diverse educational backgrounds and training – all committed to improving the quality of life for animals in pain.
News and Hot Topics
In June of 2014, the World Small Animal Veterinary Association came out with Guidelines for Recognition, Assessment and Treatment of Pain. IVAPM President Bonnie Wright, DVM, served on the council charged with creating this document.
Learn How to Recognize Pain in Animals
Sick and injured animals in the wild are the most vulnerable to predators so they hide their pain. Our companion and farm animals have inherited this same instinct. Signs of pain in animals may be very subtle and hard to recognize them.
Check Out the IVAPM Dosage Calculator
Try the IVAPM Dosage Calculator. You can easily determine the recommended dose of commonly-used pain medications used to treat dogs and cats based on patient weight.
Education in Animal Pain Management
IVAPM sponsors lectures around the country and offers state-of-the art continuing education in the classroom and online. We can even help you find a speaker for your next meeting! Check out the Calendar of Events for classes and lectures.
Learn About IVAPM Certification
The CVPP program is for veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Candidates must have practiced five years including two years working with animals in pain. Requirements also include CE hours, cases studies, and a written exam.

Hey, @baggss, I think many would argue that this corporate attitude you describe came along in 1972 when the BSA thought it would be better for the biz if we shifted away from the outdoors and focused more on the inner city. Green Bar Bill was called up in 1979 to fix it and get back to basics...but I think we've veered off course again and need another GBB to come along and re-energize us.
Just this morning I heard an NPR spot on how the Chipotle board voted strongly against increasing the already bloated salaries of the top two execs. I think we need to find a way to keep the costs down and, at the same time, keep the eyes focused on how basic Scouting is. We have a pretty core set of fundamentals but we are seeing more and more attempts to appeal to today's youth when we might be better off just getting back to basics...

As a former pro, I can tell you I saw both the good and bad. I saw some things that I shook my head at, and I saw some things that made me very proud.
The problem is this: we do need a small, stressing SMALL, cadre of professionals and support staff to run the organization. Compared to other scouting associations, we are very fortunate in a lot of what we had. The first camp I worked at in the UK was so small, that 230+ camps that size could fit in the Salmen Scout Reservation outside Kiln, MS.
And we do need to compensate them justly, Trust me, I had friends double, and in one case triple, their salary when they left the profession and went into the private sector.
That said, we do need to trim the fat, since National is using BMI , and get back to the basics, Some divisions are just out there at times.
K-mart has not been a for-profit business for a very long time, BSA is not a for-profit business, it is just a very poorly run business and has been for some time,
I think baggs is correct. The BSA has taken a turn for the worse starting with the 1970's urban scouting, as a former DE myself in the late 80's seeing some of the internal corruption on the council and national levels first hand, and watching the continuing and increasing trend of closing councils and selling camps to cover up severe financial mismanagement by council scout executives while on the other hand seeing scouts proud of receiving badges they have worked so hard to earn, and enjoying learning outdoor and leadership skills, makes me wonder where and why the disconnect. Why has the BSA continued to lose the respect of both scouters and the public at large and can it recover from the hole it has dug so deeply for itself.
Even back in the 60s my school mates who lived in a more urban area would comment something along the lines, "The 'Y' has a basketball court and swimming pool and we can go there any time we want and it doesn't cost anything and all 'you' do is go camping."
I was speechless. I even went with them to the 'Y' for a while. The pool was great but I sucked at basketball. So I went camping.

Does anyone know how much Seton, Beard and Hillcourt were paid by the BSA? How did their salaries compare with comparable positions in retailing of the time?
BSA has always been a "for-profit-company" in the eyes of many of the volunteers. I remember Scouters talking the same way about it 40 years ago. The execs always had high salaries. Nothing new here.
Scout execs used to remind us that all the stuff we paid for, with the exception of a very minimal registration fee, was completely voluntary. BSA did not require units to buy uniforms, badges, etc.. BSA councils did not require units to use their camp grounds or participate in their fundraisers.
They made a good point. Has this changed? I think it has. BSA is becoming much more coercive than they used to be.

used to be
At least in the three councils where I Scout, no unit is required to buy uniforms, badges, etc, or to use council camp grounds - not even pressured. Encouraged? Sure.
B.S.A. specifically orders that a unifform is not a requirement for boards of review, including for Eagle.
BSA is like every corp out there in that those at the top receive ridiculous compensation, and those at the bottom have trouble making ends meet.
Knowing a bit about how BSA is set up, and who is making what, I'd say start at the SE level, which need a 25% pay cut, to be divided equally between every paid employee of the council. From there, working toward the top, cut all staffs by 50%, and all executive salaries by 50 %, putting the savings into property budgets. The CSE could do with a 60% cut in total compensation, and a 75% cut in allowable expenses, these funds could be used to offset the participant cost of national programs.
There ya go, all fixed ... now who's going to get this passed?
BTW, the same plan could be applied to nearly every US corporation, and in doing so nearly every issue in this nation would vanish in a few short years.
Greed is bad, and has no place in BSA.
A for-profit or not for-profit entity is not defined as to how they pay their employees. What people think it means and what it really is often times are no where near in the long run.
It would bode well if people actually discussed the issues rather than the myths of what they think are the issues.
Okay, the SE and DE get paid too much. So what. Business entities are in the market to acquire talent. They pay for what they get. One could hire college grads and put them into the SE and DE positions at a lot less than what they have now. Oh, you want experience? Well, there's a cost involved with that, how much are you willing to pay for experience? Oh? successful experience, costs more than just showing up for work. We had a guy like that but someone else snatched him up for $20,000/year more. He had a wife and kids so he couldn't afford to come in at your offer.
Business talent is a marketable commodity, but very few take that into consideration when they complain about the costs. If your car breaks down and you go to the cheapest repair shop, do you get the same results as you have had you gone to a more expensive one?
And the ones at the bottom of the payroll? No, they don't have to work for the BSA. If their marketable skills are such, the can move on to a bigger and better job at any time. Are we to pay them a better salary because they are married and have kids? Or are they hired to do a job for the business. A person is offered a job at a certain pay. Then immediately they begin to complain about not getting paid enough? Why were they so stupid as to take the job in the first place?
I got a solution. Take the council secretary who's getting paid pittance and make them the SE and the SE can go and get a job that pays better anyway. That should take care of everything and you can sit back and let the complaining begin!
I create corporations every day, this isn't a question of legal definition, it's a question of being held accountable to those who your organization serves.
"Business talent is a marketable commodity", you're buying into the corporate myth. Headhunting the "top gun" for your position is huge mistake, a train wreck you pay a premium to experience. These "top guys" have no loyalty to your organization, it's purpose, or goals, they only care about the money. The top talent are looking to catch the next head hunters attention the day they go to work for you, creating a short term plan that will translate into a better pitch for a better job, while wreaking long term havoc on your company, creating a deception destined to implode at some future date, when they're long gone. The problem is the people making these hiring decisions are the same type of pinstriped pirate as the guy the hire, playing the same game, and the steaks are the future of the organization and its employees and members.
I'm talking about BSA, but this sad story translates to nearly every type and size of American business today.
Oh, I wouldn't disagree one bit. But we have DE's moving up in the ranks to SE's all the time. Cream rises to the top. The good ones eventually realize this and they're gone. A lot of non-profits run their businesses for altruistic reasons and not good business sense and so for the most part they are the training ground for "real" jobs. Those that can't get better jobs outside of BSA stay on and garner annual salary increases over the years just like anyone else. A 5% raise each year compounds rather quickly over a 20 year career and the SE is only 40 years old, another 25 to go. Yes, the salary can be substantial. Of course they all move up to the big councils that are financially able to support the better salaries and the less financially well off can't afford them anymore and are continually drained of any good talent they might have developed over the years. In the 20+ years I have been with this council, every position has changed multiple times.
Couple that with the Peter Principle and there you have the BSA in a nutshell.

Film Review: The Other Dream Team
The phrase "Dream Team" is something of an untouchable when it comes to sports. It belongs to one team, and any comparison pales in its shadow or provides heated debate. Take for instance this year's USA basketball team at the London Olympics, where mild back and forth ensued over 2012 versus 1992; who would have been better? But in Lithuania, during the Barcelona Olympics there was another Dream Team, one filled with talent, yes, but which also carried the pride of a nation that was silenced under Soviet rule for over fifty years.

School gardens, space flight, Facebook passwords, predatory lenders, suspicious irrigation equipment and reporting elder abuse are all the subject of new laws taking effect in the new year.
More than 800 Senate and Assembly bills were signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown during 2012 and will go in effect throughout California on Jan. 1, 2013.
In addition to AB1616, the California Homemade Food Law (The Inyo Register, "Officials prepared to help cottage food businesses," Dec. 22, 2012), laws that spread across 29 different categories of the state's constitution will bring new regulations to California's citizens, be they young or old, businesses large and small or state and local governments.
Here are summaries of just a few of these new laws:
• AB 2367, School Gardens: Sale of Produce, gives the green thumbs up to schools to sell produce from their school gardens as long as health and safety requirements are met.
• AB 2020, Driving Under the Influence, narrows options for persons who have been arrested and are suspected of driving under the influence. They no longer have the choice of a urine test. Now, a blood test will determine blood drug content.
• AB 1536, Electronic Wireless Communications, gives the greenlight to California drivers to legally talk and text while driving but only if they use "hands-free technology specifically designed for voice-operated, hands-free operation to dictate, send or listen to a text-based communication."
• SB 1047, Emergency Services: Seniors, calls for the activation of a "Silver Alert" upon request if a person, age 65 or older, is legitimately reported missing under unexplained or suspicious circumstances or if law enforcement believes the person is in danger.
• AB 1844, Social Media Privacy, states that employers can't demand that existing or prospective employees turn over their personal user names, passwords and other information related to social media accounts. Nor can they fire or discipline workers for refusing to divulge that information. This law doesn't apply to information related to employer-issued electronic devices and doesn't prevent employers from investigating workplace misconduct.
• AB 1708, Driver License, gives California drivers another greenlight. They may now show proof of insurance using Smart phones or other mobile electronic devices and, of course, old-school paper proof-of-insurance cards will still work, too.
• AB 40, Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Reporting, requires that suspected elder abuse resulting in "serious bodily harm," occurring in a long-term care facility, be reported to local law enforcement within two hours of observation. Even if no bodily injury occurs, suspected abuse must be reported by phone and in writing within 24 hours of observation.
• AB 2269, Under Pupil Instruction, Labor History Month, hereafter dubs the month of May as Labor History Month and encourages school districts to commemorate that month with pertinent educational activities and lessons.
• AB 278, California Homeowner Bill of Rights, comes to the rescue of "struggling homeowners who are trying, in good faith, to renegotiate their mortgages." It is aimed at putting a halt to the "abusive tactics" of "loan servicers."
• AB 340, Pension Reform Law, requires "current state employees and all new public employees to pay for at least 50 percent of their pensions … eliminating barriers that have prevented the increase of employee contributions."
• AB 2284, Irrigation, Illegal Narcotics Growing Abatement, sanctions "law enforcement to pull over vehicles on forest roads with visible irrigation supplies to question the driver." It is aimed at cutting off the water supply to illegal marijuana agricultural enterprises.
• AB 2402, Department of Fish and Game, renames DFG as the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and makes related changes, such as to fee and permit structures and to funding and research programs. For the conservation-minded, rest assured that all supplies bearing the DFG stamp will still be used up, not tossed.
• AB 2243, Commercial Space Travel Liability, includes a sky-is-the-limit caveat which necessitates that space-flight companies get a signed statement from each flight participant, warning that there is "limited civil liability for bodily injury sustained as a result of the inherent risks associated with space flight activities."
• AB 2274, Vexatious Litigants, permits courts to dismiss meritless lawsuits which are "filed only for the purpose of harassment or delay" and it closes a loophole that allowed "vexatious litigants" to avoid closer scrutiny of their lawsuits.
• AB 2368, School Police and Security Departments, authorizes governing school boards to establish a school police department and employ peace officers to ensure the safety of the district's staff, students and property, as entities that are supplementary to city and county law enforcement agencies.
With more than 700 additional new pieces of legislation to peruse, Earl Warren, 14th Chief Justice of the United States from 1953-1969, reminds citizens that however much or little life is legislated, "it is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive."
