This is awesome!
I can so sympathize since I get parking tickets so regularly that when I see one of the gov. employees who write them I've taken to spitefully calling "Meter Bitches"
Three things to know:
1. I'm equal opportunity. I call the ones who are men that too.
2. I'll admit is a misnomer since there are no parking meters in my neighborhood.
3. Before you say "You deserve them for breaking the law," I'm not breaking the law. My neighborhood is a restricted parking district, but residents can get permits to park in the area however long they want, as off-street parking is very limited. The employees are just too fucking lazy to actually take the time to LOOK for a parking permit before slapping a ticket on the car. Nevermind that I displayed it exactly according to instructions, and, after getting my first ticket, even outlined it with neon duct tape.
Posted by: Chicajojobe | Friday, February 08, 2013 at 05:38 AM
Guy's a dick. The "meter maid" was enforcing parking rules, aka DOING HER JOB. Also, the people at the station that he took the box to were not involved in his getting written a ticket in any way. But hey, all cops are pigs so it's ok right?
Posted by: HeavyP | Friday, February 08, 2013 at 06:57 AM
True, I'd say they were justified in making him come in and unfold them.
Also, since this picture says traffic violation I assume you were referencing my complaint directly when you said parking violation. HER JOB is not to ticket everyone, it's to ticket people who don't belong there and not ticket people who have every right to be there! I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a long time, but after two years of dealing with this and getting nothing but wrongly issued tickets and snotty attitudes when I catch them while issuing them and point out that I have a residents' permit...I've run out of patience.
Posted by: Chicajojobe | Friday, February 08, 2013 at 10:06 AM
I had a similer situation chica. You get the meter maids name on the ticket dont you? Call down and report each individual one for harassment.
Shit rolls down hill they will have to answer for it.
Posted by: Kel | Friday, February 08, 2013 at 12:32 PM
I think he kind of missed the point of an F you act. I mean seriously, it is dickish, but it's also clever and cute. I'd pretty much take pictures, tell him that it was way cool, tell everyone else how cool it was, thank him for the effort and artistic work, and THEN make him unfold them before he could consider it paid.
Posted by: grmrsan | Friday, February 08, 2013 at 12:37 PM
I told this story to a coworker of mine, and the first thing he did was do the same thing with his own traffic ticket.
Lucky we live in a small town and the cops knew he was joking.

Parking and traffic violations have no purpose than to kick poor people in the nuts, bury them in fees that they can't afford, and take away their power. When I pay off traffic and parking violations, I make sure to piss on the money first. They have yet to notice.

Help me lay out my Berry Garden
Hi, I'm new to the forum and would appreciate some help laying out our berry garden. We live in central Virginia.
Long-term, we'd like to use raised beds (due to poor drainage) to plant blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and grapes.
Short-term, we want to get at least one strawberry bed up ASAP. We have plants to transplant before the winter. However, in deciding exactly where to put it, we kind of need to lay out where the other fruits will go in the future since we won't be moving the strawberries down the road. Ideally, I'd like to map out a plan for the yard and we'll actually build the beds over the next couple years.
The area where we are planting gets sun most of the day, but from the side. Strawberries will need to be closest to the rise and setting of the sun to not be shaded. Other than that, we need help figuring out how to order the rows from closest to the strawberries to furthest from the strawberries.
I have heard here and there that certain berries do not grow well in close proximity (perhaps blackberries and blueberries need to be 50ft apart?). Also, I'm not sure which of these fruits require the most sun, as I suppose it would make sense to order them in that direction away from the strawberries so that the one that requires the least amount of sun is furthest from the strawberries (since they will be somewhat shaded by the other fruit trees).
That's kind of what I'm aiming for, as well as anyone who can provide a link to a source that might make laying out this garden easier (an easy source that lists how far plants should be spaced within a bed, and then also how far each fruit should be spaced from one another, how to prepare beds for each fruit, etc.). I've done lots of research here and there and I probably should start taking notes, but if there's some great site out there that I haven't discovered yet that would make it a little easier, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks in advance for the help!
It used to be said to keep black raspberries and red raspberries away from each other. Two reasons for this, which I won't go into, but I still grow them right next to each other. As far as other berries being kept away from each other no. You may have mistaken what was meant. you don't want them competing for the same root space. So yeah raspberries will push out other plants, they grow like wild, blackberries too. I would keep them in their own bed. If these plants are keep in separate beds, order matters little, Blackberries and raspberries require the least sun.
Here is my set up Raspberries are in a back bed 25"x24'
Three 4'x4' beds, each with a blueberry in the middle surrounded by strawberry plants. Runners from the strawberries will be removed and planted elsewhere. Once the blueberries get big enough, all strawberries will be removed. All plants shown were planted this spring.
For growing strawberries, you may want to check the link below the photo.
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing strawberries

Thanks, those are beautiful! Are you planning on staking the raspberries at all? I've seen beds with wire running down each side, I guess to keep the growth from overtaking the walkways and also for general support of the plant? I'm not sure if we need those or not.
Are you mulching with peat moss? What mix did you use for the soil in the beds? Our soil pH averages 8 here, even though we have plenty of soil around I'm hoping to just buy bags and mix new soil myself.
I was thinking of doing 3ftx8ft beds for the raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries (though 3ft is probably wider than we need...that's another thing I'm trying to figure out). Long term we'd do two for each fruit in rows so there would not be any sharing of the beds.
Strawberries we were planning 3.5ftx8ft in two separate beds. I wanted to do three rows per bed. It seems like the right size to get three rows in and still make the middle row easily accessible?
I was thinking of doing 3ftx8ft beds for the raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries >>>> I would go 2 ft wide , better airflow and less fungus problems , my strawberry beds are 4 ft wide and 16 to 24 ft long
Your plan sounds OK, I'll comment, but you know I'm not that experienced myself with these plants. I have been growing plants though for almost 40 years.
"Are you planning on staking the raspberries at all?"
A trellis is up, you just can't see it. See photo.
"Are you mulching with peat moss? What mix did you use for the soil in the beds?"
The beds were made different for each type. Basically 1/3 garden soil. 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 compost. Probably a bit more garden soil than 1/3. In the Blueberry-strawberry beds, pine bark fines were added too. Blueberries are mulched with large pine bark, the strawberries and raspberries with pine needles. Sulfur was added also, more in the spring to just the center where blueberry is. Added to all beds, but more in blueberry bed.
The blueberries are fertilized with acid organic fertilizer, and ammonium sulfate, which is very acidic. 1 teaspoon per 2.5 gallons, once a month until August. 1st. No more after that. Begin again April 1st. Ph is around 5.0 in center, and about 5.8 at outer edges.
On size of beds I would do 2ftx8 for blackberries and raspberries. 3 feet is too wide, it will be hard to pick berries as they will spread the whole width. Plus air flow will be poor, inviting disease.
I would look at the strawberry site and how they explain the row systems.
My blueberries are northern high bush and each plant (three total) will fill the 4x4 bed. They grow from 5 to 7 feet high, and just as wide. All strawberries will be removed at the end of the 2014 season.
I forgot to mention in the spring I will add to top of soil a mixture of compost, pine bark fines, and peat moss, heavy on the compost.
Pine bark fines are extremely hard to find. Most pine bark mulch is too chunky to use as a soil additive. English Gardens here in my area has a pine mulch which is fairly fine, Any other bark is not acceptable. But you do not absolutely need it. You will need all else I mentioned though. Peat is a must for blueberries, so is sulfur. For soil I used mostly garden, with a touch of potting. Good potting soil has a lot of peat, I already added peat and needed loam, so feel garden soil is best.
This blend though dries quickly, I have wet springs, so needed a super fast draining soil, and I got it! I almost have to water daily. Oh you need to use rainwater for the blueberries, if you use city, you are increasing the PH, so will need sulfur, more of it, and you must monitor ph level. If wrong blueberries will die and die quickly. The other berries can grow from 5.2 to 7.5 so no worries there.
I find though keeping the PH low is best, just look at how huge my plants are! All planted this year!! Four months ago!!
There can be an advantage for the caneberry beds long axis to be aligned north-south, otherwise the sun beats down on the south side of the row / fruit all day. N-S alignment then allows equal sun exposure for each side of the row, except for the south end of each row, of course.
I'm growing my strawberries on a wooden container:
I planted about 25 strawberry plants directly to the ground---desert sand. They were growing in the ground for a year---they were growing fine but not as healthy as I had expected. Therefore, IâÂÂve decided to grow them in a container. After they were planted in a container they started growing very healthy and they even produced a good crop this year.
The problems you face are room, in a 2x 8 bed I would only use 3 raspberry plants or 2 blackberry.
For a 3.5x8 ft strawberry bed i would only do two rows and one row would work.
June bearing and everbearing are huge plants with runners filling the area quickly.
Here is a 4x4 bed of pineberries, and only 5 plants are there, 3 pineberries and 2 musk strawberries, the rest are runners formed so far this year. Also a Chandler blueberry in the middle, planted this spring. In the bottom right corner numerous runners are hanging off the side. I guess you might fit 2 rows in there.
Still the back fence does not get much light, mostly early morning and late evening. Then again I have a raspberry bed with only an eastern exposure and the fall gold summer crop was over 200 berries from one plant. I removed the flourocanes Wednesday with about 20 berries left. it was getting brittle, and the fruit slowed in ripening. Many of the everbearing types are begining to show fall crop blooms including fall gold. Everbearing is a good name! The primocanes are a little tall trying to get over the flourocanes, but now that those are gone I'm sure the primocanes will fill out. Forgoing a summer crop is not a good idea as far as I'm concerned. I made some fruit leather out of the fall gold golden berries.Yum!

Awesome, Thank You very much !!!
This is Awesome!! Thank you so much for your interest to help new Roku Developers. I tried a lot to develop a Roku channel using the documentation but felt too tedious to understand. All concepts have been explained clear and the template helped a lot. Great Effort!
I have a question about how to integrate google analytics?
Absolutely Fantastic !!! After downloading, I was extremely impressed with the amount of instruction and clarification within the scripts. It has made creating a Roku Channel child's play !! I had stumbled around the Roku SDK for nearly two months and had hit an impasse. Thanks to Open Rokn, I've nearly completed my channel in a matter of days!! All my gratitude, kavulix. Donations are on their way!!
This is just some amazing work! I had no idea where to start with my Roku channel and even after looking over the Roku SDK documentation I really didn't know what I should do, not being very strong in any programming language. However Open Rokn made it amazingly easy! Nearly all of the work I needed to do was in simple simple xml documents, It really couldn't have been any easier! I'm working on a large channel now, all thanks to open rokn and its developer kavulix!

I have been working at Verizon Wireless full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.Cons
Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEO

A data transmission system for a road vehicle has an aerial on the road vehicle for picking up signals from an external transmitter. This aerial passes a signal to a receiver on the vehicle which in turn passes the information to a memory unit which stores the information at a fast rate and then supplies the information at a slow rate to an electrical voice synthesizer.
1. A data transmission system comprising a receiver mounted on a road vehicle, an aerial coupled to the receiver for receiving data signals radiated from an external transmitter having an inductive loop positioned along the path of travel of the road vehicle to enable transmission of data signals to the receiver, a memory unit connected electrically to said receiver for storing data signals received by the aerial at a relatively fast rate, and an electrical voice synthesizer to which said store data signals are fed at a relatively slow rate and which is responsive to said data signals for converting said data signals directly into human voice sounds to give oral information to the driver of the road vehicle.
2. A data transmission system as claimed in claim 1, and in which the transmitter transmits messages preceded by either a normal code or an emergency code, the receiver including a manually operable control and a detector responsive to the transmitted code for operating the memory unit to store a message with a non-emergency code for replay to the driver only upon the actuation of the control and to store a message with an emergency code for replay to the driver regardless of the actuation of the control.
This invention relates to a data transmission system and has as its object the provision of such a system in a convenient form.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a data transmission system comprising a receiver mounted on a road vehicle, aerial coupled to the receiver for receiving information from an external transmitter, a memory unit connected electrically to said receiver for storing data received by the aerial at a relatively fast rate, and an electrical voice synthesizer to which said stored data is fed at a relatively slow rate and which is responsive to said data to give oral information to the driver of the road vehicle.
An electrical voice synthesizer is a piece of electrical apparatus which models the human voice mechanism, and which when electrically stimulated produces intelligible sounds similar to those produced by the human. The expression does not include tape recorders or record players.
In the accompanying drawings,
FIG. 1 is a block circuit diagram illustrating one embodiment of a data transmission system constructed in accordance with the present invention, and
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the same example in more detail.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown therein a receiving end of a data transmission system. The receiving end is mounted on a road vehicle and comprises a receiver 10 having an associated aerial 11 for receiving digital data from an inductive loop transmitter mounted on or buried in a road along which the road vehicle is travelling. The receiver 10 is connected through an amplifier 12 to a memory unit 13 which takes the form of a solid state store. The receiver 10 is also connected through a message selector unit 14 to a cycle control unit 15. The message selector unit 14 has an associated manually operable switch 16 which can be opened by the driver of a road vehicle if he only desires to receive emergency information. Thus, each message code signal received by the receiver 10 is preceded by a start code to denote the beginning of this message and moreover, a different code precedes an emergency message code signal so that if the switch 16 is open, the message selector unit 14 will respond to the start code preceding an emergency message code signal to initiate operation of a cycle control unit 15 which initially feeds a demand signal to the amplifier 12 and the memory unit 13 ordering the latter to record the message code signal being received at the receiver 10. However, if the switch 16 is open and the receiver 10 receives a message prefixed by a non-emergency message start code then the message selector unit 14 does not respond to this code and the cycle control unit 15 inhibits recording of the message code signal received by the receiver 10 in the memory unit 13. If the switch 16 is closed then the message selector unit 14 will respond to both types of start code and will initiate operation of the cycle control unit 15. Alternatively, non-urgent messages can be recorded but not fed to the synthesizer unless the driver wishes.
The inductive loop transmitter (not shown) is of such a length along the road that for maximum road vehicle speed in that particular sector of the road, the transmitter will transmit a message at least twice so that a complete message will always be received by the receiver 10. The second start code received by the receiver 10 from any one transmitter operates the cycle control unit 15 which in turn temporarily inhibits further recording by the memory unit 13 and at the same time causes the memory unit 13 to feed the information stored therein through a voice synthesizer and an amplifier 18 to a speaker 19 so that the information is presented to the driver in oral form.
Finally, the cycle control unit 15 has associated therewith a further manually operable switch 20 which can be operated by the driver of a road vehicle at any time to re-play a message recorded in the memory unit 13. The above described data transmission system possesses the advantage that data can be fed to the memory unit 13 at a substantially faster rate than that at which it is re-played through the voice synthesizer 17. Thus, if the rate of transmitting the data between the inductive loop transmitter and the receiver 10 is 100 times greater than the rate at which the data stored in the memory unit 13 is re-played through the voice synthesizer 17, then the inductive loop transmitter need only possess a physical length of approximately 10 meters in order to transmit twice over to a road vehicle travelling at approximately 100 m.p.h. a message, which when re-played will last for about 10 seconds.
Moreover, for a typical voice synthesizer the number of bits of information required to produce a 10 second message (at 8 bits/phonem, 6 phonems/word, 3 words/second) is 1,540. It will be appreciated that only a relatively small memory unit will be required to store this amount of information.
Road side equipment associated with each inductive loop transmitter may take any one of several forms. One such form of road side equipment could include local storage of all messages which one might wish to transmit to a road vehicle travelling along that particular section of a road, and means for selecting a message to be transmitted, by either remote or manual means.
In an alternative form, the road side equipment may possess no message storage, but instead a loop power driving amplifier wherein each power amplifier receives a signal from a multiplexed line and possesses means for extracting the message addressed to that particular power amplifier and associated inductive loop transmitter. Message storage and means for selecting a desired message would then take place at a central control centre.
As yet a further alternative, the road side equipment may take the form of a temporary solid state storage installation wherein each installation has a "telephone number" or "address". The road side equipment would then be addressed from a central control centre and the message fed into the temporary store from where it is transmitted to the inductive loop transmitter. The advantage of this installation is that a large number of road side equipments can be controlled from a single pair of wires.
The hereinbefore described data transmission system can be used to transmit messages to a driver indicating when a hazard is present or in addition could be used to transmit messages carrying particular information to the driver as, for instance, to the location of the nearest ameneties or to the provision of route information. It is to be appreciated that the transmitter could transmit messages in different languages and the receiving end of the data transmission system could be pre-set to receive a message in the certain language by pre-selecting a certain start code which precedes each message. Also real time transmission, that is to say direct transmission of information to the driver without the use of the memory unit, could be used in low vehicle speed areas such as car parks by pre-selecting a certain start code.
Furthermore, temporary loops can readily be laid on a road by Local Authorities to warn drivers of temporary hazards. Other transmitters can be used, for example a leaky co-axial cable at side of road, a local radio beacon or beamed microwaves.
The actual blocks shown in FIG. 1 are known in themselves, but in some cases may consist of a combination of known blocks, as indicated by the arrangement of FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the unit 14, the amplifier 12, the unit 13 and the unit 15 are shown in more detail, the components making up the three units and amplifier being indicated by the same reference numerals with suffixes. Thus, the message selector unit 14 comprises a start code detector 14b which continually examines the signal from the aerial 11 and receiver 10 until it recognises one of three codes. The first of these codes is the direct play code, and when this signal is received, a direct play gate 14a is operated so that the signal is passed directly to the amplifier 18. The second of these signals is the nonemergency signal which is passed to the remainder of the system by way of a gate 14c controlled by the switch 16. The third signal is the emergency signal which by-passes the gate 14c.
The record amplifier 12 consists of a shaping circuit 12a, and a memory input device 12b. The circuit 12a merely processes the signal from the receiver 10 so that it is in a suitable form to be received by the device 12b. The device 12b has two modes of operation. When recording a new message, it converts the data it receives into suitable data for transmission to the memory unit 13. When a message is being played back, the device 12b makes sure that the information is re-stored, as indicated by the feedback circuit shown from the register 13a to the device 12b.
The memory unit 13 consists of a memory shift register 13a which stores data words presented as its input in the order in which they occur, so that the data appears at the output of the register 13 in the same order as it is received at the input. The register 13a is connected to a read only memory 13b which converts the output data from the register 13 into control data for the voice synthesizer 17 and a phonem timer 15d which forms part of the unit 15.
The unit 15 consists of an oscillator 15a the frequency of which is synchronised to the carrier frequency from the receiver, the frequency being such that the input device 12b receives information at an acceptable rate. The oscillator 15a is connected to a divider network 15b which divides the oscillator frequency by the number of bits in the input word of the memory device 12b so that the memory can store the information. The unit 15 further includes a timer 15g which is coupled to the switch 20 and which controls the duration of the storing time by counting the number of times the memory shift register 13a stores data from the memory input device 12b both during recording and play-back, so that only a complete message is operated on. The timer 15g provides an input to a clock 15f for the voice synthesizer 17, the clock 15f providing a direct input to the synthesizer 17 as well as an input to the synthesizer 17 by way of a pitch control 15e which provides an excitation waveform to the synthesizer 17 to ensure correct operation of the synthesizer 17. The clock 15f also provides an input to a phonem timer 15d which receives information from the memory 13b to determine the duration of a phonem.

Manner in the nineteen fifties bore strong resemblance from style trends of the past many years.
The Manner Of The '50S Manner in the nineteen fifties bore strong resemblance from style trends of the past many years. Though society was far more progressive in previous decades, this time the 50s marked circumspection, especially in how folks dressed and wore clothing. Though ladies enjoyed a good deal of rights such as proper to suffrage and work, they chosen to dress in dresses manufactured out of lavish resources. Due to the fact the industry looked to emphasize trends from past many years, haute couture recovered from its slump. It also led to the arrival of star designers who became big earners thanks to their coverage to the media. Parisian haute couture as soon as yet again became an authority in style. Girls looked up to three notable couturiers. 1 of them was Cristobal Balenciaga, who broadened the shoulders of the silhouette as effectively as designed the tunic gown, 1 of the trendy products in the '50s. Hubert de Givenchy was the mind powering the separates, of which clothing can be blended and coordinated at will. Pierre Balmain is credited for the New Appear, 1 of the far more defining variations of the 10 years. He also developed a RTW referred to as Florilege, even though generating a number of productive perfumes. The '50s also marked the return of popular designer Coco Chanel. She launched a assortment that would shortly develop into popular between ladies. The assortment involved braided go well with, silk blouses, and complemented by shiny jewelry. Mass manufactured apparel also became far more popular during this 10 years. Europeans tailored the American way of apparel, which was characterised by broad shouldered shirts and straight- legged pants. sepatu crocs

text: Special Report: Powerful PainkillersUpdated: Wednesday, April 30 2014, 06:55 PM EDT Right now North Carolina is asking the Food and Drug Administration to repeal approval of a powerful painkiller, worried about abuse and overdoses. Other ones are coming along, and many are already in our mountain communities. Used incorrectly, people from all walks of life are dying. Law enforcement officers say in Haywood County alone, it's a huge problem. They're talking to schools, organizations, and churches to educate people. And there are recent developments at the state and federal level to keep tighter reins on these powerful painkillers. It's been almost five years since John Chapman lost his son and namesake, John Junior, to a prescription drug overdose. "The friend went and bought 2 Fentanyl patches. Gave him one of them. Told him to chew it like chewing gum. Well, that's a 3-day dose of medicine that he absorbed at one time. (He) lay down and went to sleep and just never woke up." Waynesville Police Chief Bill Hollingsed says, "Western North Carolina is way ahead of the other counties in our state as far as prescription overdose deaths, death by opiates." He Says Haywood County is a painkiller battleground. "When you look at the total number of deaths in your county, and at one point having 1 out of 3, or 1 out of 4 people dying of just prescription drug overdoses, that's way too many. And that's a death that can be prevented." He says part of the problem is the myth about prescription drugs. "A lot of people feel like prescription drugs aren't near as addictive as some of the illicit street drugs when in reality, the opiates, the painkillers are just as if not more addictive than a lot of the illicit street drugs." Doctor Bart Paschal is a medical oncologist in Clyde. He says the result is hundreds of deaths across the state, 670 in 2012 alone. "They estimate of those, about 70 percent were related to the prescription opioids getting out of the possession of the person to whom it was prescribed." With highly addictive prescription pills floating around the community, pharmacists like Kim Ferguson are seeing people willing to resort to crime to get their hands on them. Her Waynesville pharmacy was broken into two years ago, and she's seeing worse. "A pharmacist in Virginia was shot and killed during an armed robbery in his store during business hours. The guy wanted oxycodone." Some pharmacists won't even carry newer even more powerful pain killers like Zohydro. Ferguson says existing medication works and the state is asking the FDA to withdraw Zohydro due to packaging concerns. "Asking the manufacturer to put the medication in a tamper-proof pill rather than just the capsule that can be readily abused," says Chief Hollingsed. The FDA has rejected another new painkiller called Moxduo, which mixes morphine with oxycodone. The FDA says it could have led to more drug abuse. "I just assume see the FDA require the drug companies who make the drugs to do long term studies to prove that they're safe and effective," says Dr. Paschal. He says short term drug studies, sometimes just 16 weeks, don't give an accurate picture of addiction. He says doctors are complaining to the FDA about a growing problem they're calling "opioid use disorder." At the state level, Dr. Paschal says there is promising news from the medical board, which is currently working on a policy requiring doctors to be more careful when prescribing painkillers, to screen patients for substance abuse disorders, or psychological issues, and to monitor any diversion of drugs to other people. And there would be consequences. "If there's an injury to the patient or overdose or death from opioids, and they haven't followed guidelines outlined by the North Carolina Medical Board, then their license could be in jeopardy," says Paschal. These area all steps in the right direction to John Chapman. But he'll always miss his son, and he worries we haven't seen the worst yet. He says stiff penalties and education are the biggest weapons to fight prescription drug abuse. And he says everybody needs to pay attention. "This gets everybody. It doesn't just get a few people.. It gets everybody." The state medical board is seeking input on the new prescription drug guidelines and will issue a formal policy statement at the end of May.

|Governor Quinn Announces Illinois Breaks 100 Million Visitor Mark for the First Time
|News Releases - Travel & Tourism
|Written by Grant Klinzman
|Friday, 06 September 2013 14:48
International Visitors to Illinois Rose 11.8 Percent to a Record in 2012; Tourism Generated $33.5 Billion for State's Economy Last Year
CHICAGO – Governor Pat Quinn today announced that Illinois has set an all-time record for tourism, breaking the 100 million visitor mark in 2012. International visitors rose 11.8 percent last year to set another new record and push the total to 101 million. Tourism in Illinois generated an estimated $33.5 billion and 298,700 jobs for the state's economy, also new high marks for the state.
The record tourism numbers reflect Governor Quinn's targeted efforts to showcase Illinois as a travel destination. In the past two years, Illinois has launched a new tourism marketing campaign; promoted Illinois tourism on trade missions to Canada, China, Mexico and Brazil; and worked closely with local convention and visitors bureaus across Illinois to trumpet the unique attributes of their regions.
"Our world-class destinations continue to attract more domestic and international visitors to Illinois each year, and this means jobs and economic growth for our state," Governor Quinn said. "These record-breaking numbers show that the economic engine of tourism in Illinois is firing on all cylinders."
Total international arrivals in Illinois hit 2,082,200 in 2012, a new record and an 11.8 percent increase over 2011. The news follows this summer's announcement that Illinois hosted more than 99 million domestic visitors in 2012, a 6.1 percent increase over the record 93.3 million U.S. residents who visited Illinois in 2011.
This also marks the second year in a row that Illinois' visitor numbers broke records and outpaced the national average of 5.4 percent, highlighting the industry's vital contributions to Illinois' economic growth, job creation and tax revenue.
Overseas arrivals reached 1,399,000 last year, up 11.4 percent, and visitors from Canada increased 9.9 percent in 2012. Domestic and international travelers directly spent $33.5 billion in Illinois in 2012, up 5.7 percent from 2011. U.S. travelers' expenditures grew 5 percent while international travelers' expenditures increased 14.4 percent. These travel related expenditures generated 298,700 jobs, including full-time and seasonal part-time positions in the state. This reflects a 2.3 percent increase and 6,700 new jobs.
Increasing tourism and its resulting economic impact are part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create jobs and drive Illinois' economy forward.
"These impressive numbers demonstrate the vital role the tourism industry plays in the state's economy," Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Director Adam Pollet said. "The double-digit increase of international visitors to Illinois has directly benefited our state by generating tax revenue and creating additional high-quality jobs for people across Illinois."
"The visitor increases in 2012 illustrate Illinois' appeal as a premier travel destination for both leisure and business travelers," Deputy Director of the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Office of Tourism Jen Heolzle said. "We're driving additional growth in international markets by continuing to develop innovative ways to share unique stories and opportunities for visitors and potential visitors to discover all that the state offers."
The Illinois Office of Tourism (IOT) directly supports the travel industry by promoting visitor travel both domestically and internationally, to help grow the tourism industry throughout the state. IOT is funded by a percentage of the state's hotel and motel tax revenue.

NE fish vote postponed
WAKEFIELD Fishing regulators on Thursday delayed voting on huge cuts to the catch of New England fishermen, after repeated and emotional warnings that the reductions would finish off the flailing industry.
The New England Fishery Management Council voted 15-2 to put off deciding on new catch limits for bottom-dwelling groundfish species until their next meeting, scheduled for the end of January.
Fishery scientists say some species are recovering far too slowly, meaning drastic cuts in catch are needed to meet the law's mandates to end overfishing and rebuild fish stocks.
The possible cuts in catch included 74 percent for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder and up to 90 percent for Gulf of Maine cod, compared to what fishermen landed in 2011.
Before the vote, fishermen criticized fishery science, saying it vastly underestimated the health of fish stocks. They repeatedly told the council the possible cuts would obliterate the remnants of the centuries-old industry.
