A heated debate will make an encore at Shelbyville City Hall Thursday when council convenes for their regularly scheduled meeting at 6:30.
Last month the council heard a first reading for an ordinance that would allow a zone change for 15-acres of property at the intersection of Breighton Circle and Brunerstown Road to be changed from General Interchange (X-2) to Multi-family Residential (R-4) to allow the development of a 216-unit apartment complex.
A weight loss program that starts tonight at the Shelby County Health Department already has a good crowd signed up, officials say.
People coming out to the department's Biggest Loser contest won't find a grueling program such as NBC's fitness guru Jillian Michaels features, but they will find it very rewarding when they start to see the pounds rolling off, officials say.
Seconds count dearly, whether it's firefighters racing to the scene of a devastating blaze; ambulance crews counting precious seconds responding to a heart attack victim or a police officer calling for help with a hostage situation. And now all these scenarios, and many others, will have a better chance of success in Shelby County.
County officials Wednesday launched the Next Generation 911 (NG911) program.
A bill that would allow telephone companies such as AT&T to abandon landlines in rural areas could pass the Kentucky General Assembly this year after a four-year effort, lawmakers say.
"[In the beginning] everybody was against it when I first proposed it, and now I feel like everybody's for it," said State Sen. Paul Hornback (R-Shelbyville).
A new survey is circulating with the objective of gathering data for gauging needs for older citizens.
The Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) has contracted the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work to conduct a needs assessment for baby boomers and older adults in order to plan for future services, said Kim Embry-Hill, executive director of the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency.
Shelbyville native Ruby Lewis will have a supporting role in a new movie set to debut in theaters on Feb. 6, including locally at Stonybrook Cinema in Jeffersontown.
Lewis plays reporter Gina Winters, in Pass the Light, which stars Cameron Palatas, Dalpre Grayer, Alexandria DeBerry, Colby French and Jon Gries, and tells the story of Steve Bellafiore, a 17-year-old high school senior who decides to run for Congress in order to protect the faith that he so loves.
A note discovered at East Middle School last week has left several students feeling unsafe during the school day and numerous parents enraged.
The note, according to a parent, contained a list of student's names and was titled Death Note and the district says it's considered a play on Japanese anime series of the same name.
The series features a student that finds a notebook that will bring death upon any person whose name is written within.
On Wednesday Ellen Gill McCarty spent much of her afternoon making pierogis, pork schnitzel and a family recipe of pretzel bagel bites made with Goetta sausage.
While that may not be unusual for a chef, it's certainly different in the kitchen at Science Hill Inn, where McCarty has been for nearly 30 years.
The longtime Shelby County establishment is well known for its fine Southern cuisine, so a several course German meal may have been a first there.
Collins High School classrooms were with filled yellow shirts instead of the school's normal Titan blue as students took the opportunity to support one of their own.
While Keaton McMurray isn't competing for a football state championship or suiting up for the basketball team, he is fighting for a huge win and he has the support of all his classmates.
McMurray, a Collins senior, has osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that usually develops in adolescents.
More than two weeks after the City of Shelbyville implemented a new curbside trash pick up service, haulers told the Shelbyville City Council that things are going smoothly, for the most part.
There is a slight problem, though, with people putting things that don't belong in the recycling carts, said Greg Butler, municipal relationship manager for Republic Services.

Helping switchgrass survive winter will boost its biofuel potential
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Contact(s): , , Department of Plant Biology
Michigan State University has been awarded $1 million from a joint U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Agriculture program to develop hardier switchgrass, a plant native to North America that holds high potential as a biofuel source.
If switchgrass could better endure northern United States' winters, the plant could be an even better source for clean energy. To that end, Robin Buell, MSU plant biologist, will work to identify the genetic factors that regulate cold hardiness in switchgrass.
"This project will explore the genetic basis for cold tolerance that will permit the breeding of improved switchgrass cultivars that can yield higher biomass in northern climates," said Buell, also an MSU AgBioResearch scientist. "It's part of an ongoing collaboration with scientists in the USDA Agricultural Research Service to explore diversity in native switchgrass as a way to improve its yield and quality as a biofuel feedstock."
One of the proposed methods to increase the biomass of switchgrass is to grow lowland varieties in northern latitudes, where they flower later in the season. Lowland switchgrass is not adapted to the colder conditions of a northern climate, however, and merely a small percentage of the plants survive. It is these hardy survivors that are the subject of Buell's research.
"Dr. Buell's investment in this collaborative project will identify important genetic elements in switchgrass that control survival over the winter and can be used to breed better adapted cultivars to meet biomass production needs," said Richard Triemer, chairperson of the plant biology department.
By studying switchgrass' genetic composition, Buell hopes to identify alternative forms of the same gene that is responsible for cold hardiness. These could then be applied in breeding programs for switchgrass that can thrive in northern climates.
The research is an extension of Buell's involvement in the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, a collaborative enterprise between MSU, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the U.S. Department of Energy that works to meet the nation's need for a comprehensive suite of clean energy technologies.

i need add to dvd of name, mama......
More extremely loud music and supernatural NONSENSE that's not scary at all period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not for kids ... but it should be obvious I guess. Good potential and some scary moments but it's quite overshadowed by the 'typical' horror movie cliche's. Why oh why do people have to go around searching for stuff in the woods at night or walk around in their house in the dark when they hear a creepy noise? Have they never watched a horror movie?
Good visuals but the ending left me unsatisfied. Too many unanswered questions and didn't really make sense in the end.
Good story and cinematography. I just wish we knew more about Mama (the character).
This is good but it is not that scary to me, but I would not recommend it for kids, It is only for adults, and the kids in the movie were, Morgan McGarry, Isabelle Nelise and Morgan Cherpentier, these kids were excellent!! and very cool features such as special effects.
I liked it, it was creepy and scary, without being gross.
I love Del Toro's vision in all his movies. He has this fascinating adult (not as in xxxadultxx but rather grown up) fairy tale element to all his movies (his best by my opinion isThe Devil's Backbone). I also like the fact that he may use scary imagery, but in the end his movies aren't horror. They are simply tales that seem frightening, but are very simple and almost always innocent. Much like life, the unknown is far scarier than reality.
A scary story with freaky creepy creatures and a sincere emotional warmth - there's a rarity. Love the uniqueness of this one.
Terrible weak useless movie
I really liked this movie. I even shed a few tears at the end. I loved Pan's Labyrinth and this was another one that was super good. In my opinion.

Yes, increased sweating is reported as a common side effect of Cortisone, take care, feel sorry for your medical condition, please stay well.
For interactions between Thyroxine & Aspirin, please talk to your doc/pharmacist who prescribed the meds, they would be able to provide more & accurate details.

Homemade Moussaka
Satisfying a craving.
I made a Moussaka for last night's dinner. I can't remember the last time we had Moussaka. But it has been a while.
While the meat simmered I fried potatoes and eggplant slices.
Topped with Bechamel sauce.
Just out of the oven.
Served with a Greek Salad
Mouth watering. I love Greek dishes but husband isn't a fan of it and the restaurants in my small community don't know how to do it right. I need to drive to Tarpon Springs.
I love Moussaka and frequently order it when I go to a Greek restaurant, but the bechamel sauce upsets my stomach because it has milk in it. I would like to make a version of it that DB and I could both eat, but that would rule out lamb, beef, and bechamel. I think I could make it with ground turkey and use a veloute sauce instead of bechamel, which is the substitution I usually make. The Greek cheese does not bother me, but the milk does. I suppose I could use goat's milk...
The good thing is that there are several decent Greek restaurants here, and one is 10 minutes from my house. I had better Greek food in Vancouver and Houston, however. We have better Lebanese food here than Greek, and I like both. It seems that Lebanese and Greek restaurants are somewhat difficult to find, other than in major port cities, since the Greeks and Phoenicians are known for being sailors - at least that's what a Lebanese person told me.
I've never tried it with potatoes either. I must give it a try. I like it with dry grilled slices of aubergine. It's very light that way. Not forgetting the touch of cinnamon for the authentic taste.
Ooooo - you've made me want to cook that tonight!
Do you put an egg in the white sauce to make it puffy? I love that.
Potatoes threw me for a loop, too, so I had to look it up. According to wiki (FWIW, or not):
Most Greek versions are eggplant. Variations may include potato, zucchini, mushrooms, etc. Balkans swap potatoes for the eggplant, but there are other differences as well. They actually discuss several variations and regions, so I've linked the article in case anyone's interested.
Hopefully Sue (shambo) will see this thread and weigh in.
Regardless, Ann's looks great and now I'm hungry for moussaka. If I decide to make it myself I will give it a try with a layer of potato.
Here is a link that might be useful: wiki
I thought it always had a layer of potato. I do not remember having it without potato, but perhaps I have had it that way. When I make it, I will put in a layer of potato. I have a good Greek (or Greek American) cookbook that I bought on Yoli's recommendation when she gave us a class on phyllo.
I will omit the cinnamon, even though it is traditional, simply because I do not like it. I omit nutmeg in a lot of Italian and French recipes also because it ruins the flavors for me. I especially do not like nutmeg with spinach. I will use small amounts of cinnamon in Indian dishes, but I reduce it quite a bit. A tiny amount of cinnamon and nutmeg go a very long way for me. I think I may be overly sensitive to them. Kevin, OTOH, sometimes cannot detect them and cannot smell the orchids we have blooming at the moment, even though the fragrance fills the room for me.

Well if Lars agrees with Ann, then she must not be crazy, LOL! ;-)
So I just searched again, and as I typed "does moussaka have..." before I could finish typing "have" the popup suggestion was "does moussaka have potatoes in it." Clicked that, and there was no shortage of discussion about it, and recipes that include potatoes.
Now I'm wondering if I've really never had it with potatoes, or if I have but didn't happen to notice it mixed in with the other layers.
Lars, as I mentioned above, I've never had it without potatoes and I've eaten in some very authentic Greek restaurants over the years. Toronto has a large Greek population and an area called Greek Town. Great restaurants.
A girl that follows me on FB posted that she always uses the recipe that I use because it closely resembles her Greek grandmother's recipe.
Well, like some others here,
I've never had it with potatoes, either.
And the recipe I use is Eggplant only.
So, also like some others, I had to Google
to see what came up.
And I got a really (surprisingly to me)
wide variety of recipes!
I think he majority of those I actually looked at
Were Eggplant only.
A number had eggplant and potatoes,
And some even had other vegetables added.
So I guess it is like so many other things.
Whatever one likes the best,
Is the best.
Although my family always made moussaka with only eggplant, potato moussaka is a variation. The same is true, to a lesser degree, with using zucchini. I've seen recipes from Greek Orthodox church cookbooks that use only eggplant, only potato, and a mix of the two.
I've used potato before but prefer straight eggplant. That said, I think the potato slices contribute a sturdiness that you don't get with just eggplant. Eggplant softens and can get smushy. The potato slices add textural appeal.
The only moussaka I don't care for is when the custard is in the middle rather than on the top. It must be a texture thing for me. Too much creaminess mixed with the softened eggplant. I like the browned crust of the custard baked on top.
It's not haute cuisine. I imagine people would have used what they had on hand. Few recipes are written in stone! In Greece, I've never had it with tatoes but that doesn't mean much. It's a delicious dish. I never use lamb either as the price here is too expensive so I use beef. It's a bit like everyone has their own favourite Bolognese recipe etc.

Bais's previous book, The Equations, was widely read and roundly praised for its clear and commonsense explanation of the math in physics. Very Special Relativity brings the same accessible approach to Einstein's theory. Using a series of easy-to-follow diagrams and employing only elementary high school geometry, Bais conducts readers through the quirks and quandaries of such fundamental concepts as simultaneity, causality, and time dilation. The diagrams also illustrate the difference between the Newtonian view, in which time was universal, and the Einsteinian, in which the speed of light is universal.
Following Bais's straightforward sequence of simple, commonsense arguments, readers can tinker with the theory and its great paradoxes and, finally, arrive at a truly deep understanding of Einstein's interpretation of space and time. An intellectual journey into the heart of the Special Theory, the book offers an intimate look at the terms and ideas that define our reality.
A valiant attempt to visually depict the counterintuitive truths in Einstein's 1905 theory. Bais' vocabulary is friendly (to a point), and his spacetime grids, with their red, yellow and blue arrows, are certainly tantalizing. Staring at these grids long enough may well provide a flash of insight.
— Sara Lippincott
The elegant illustrations help Bais lead the reader from Einstein's postulates through the ideas of simultaneity, inertial frames, time dilation and relativistic energy and momentum, eschewing the usual admonitions against equations. The author's clever idea of pairing every page of text with a space-time diagram (a graphical tool actually used by relativists) to illustrate the concepts and mathematics suits the geometrical basis of its subject perfectly...It is rare for science books to rate as objects in their own right, but Very Special Relativity is a lovely little object. You could easily imagine a web-based version of it, with a bit of animation to serve its pedagogical needs. Still, there is some quality about the hard covers and high resolution that even my 26-inch screen wouldn't be able to capture. No longer is there an excuse for physics textbooks to be expensive, boring, thick or stuffed with equations in order to qualify as good teaching material.
— Andrew Jaffe
This is an absolutely delightful little book...A work that is pleasing to the eye and to the mind.
— A. Spero

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
AB 1871 raises the daily stall fee for each vendor at a certified farmers' market in California. Those fees would pay for county inspections to help insure produce labeled organic is, actually, organic.
How can you be sure those cherries or plums from the farmers market are really local or organic? Last year, a TV station in Los Angeles found vendors making false claims — including stalls selling produce bought from wholesalers. KQED's Forum discusses new proposals to increase enforcement, and find out how consumers can ensure they're getting the genuine artichoke.

The biggest let down here is the brown nosed ski snobs from the UK, hoping to be seen with a royal.

I have purchased every type of carrier (moby, EZSling, Baby Bjorn - and the list goes on) and I must say that out of every single one the Ergo is the best by miles... I can nurse in it, we walk together in it every night... I've had my three month old in it since she was a month.. I seriously do not know what I would do without the ergo. However I do not recommend buying the newborn insert... Just use two receiving blankets folded up! Not to try to take business or purchases away from Ergobaby but the newborn insert in my opinion just doesn't work very well, and my baby didn't like it at all. Coming from someone who owns every type of carrier - BUY THE ERGO!!!!

I used this carrier quite a bit from the time my son was about 3 months until he was about one year. However, by the end he was quite big and was no longer being supported knee to knee. I also found that the heavier he got the more uncomfortable the carrier got around the waist since the webbing just kind of digs into you with little padding. I think this is mostly an issue when the child gets heavy and there is more weight to support. I would still recommend the carrier, but probably more for smaller babies and smaller adults.

Comments about ERGObaby Organic Baby Carrier (Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee Lining):
In love. It already passed the true test - my baby slept in this carrier in the grocery store!
Comments about ERGObaby Organic Baby Carrier (Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee Lining):
I wanted an Ergo with our first. Child but we were given a different carrier. It was so uncomfortable and we rarew used it. With our second, I told hubby the only yhing we needed was a new carrier. We bought 3 different ones. 20 months later we are only using the Ergo. We live in Tokyo and it is so easy to put either girl on our backs at 30 pounds each! My girls are 2 years apart and a double stroller is not an option on trains or in the city. I put one child in the Ergo and one in the stroller. They fight over who has to go in the stroller. I recommend an Ergo to everyone we know having a baby! I wish I had invested in one sooner!!!
Comments about ERGObaby Organic Baby Carrier (Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee Lining):
We bought this (galaxy grey) when my son was 11mos old. I know it is easier to nurse in the tula but my son hates it so i ended up selling it. My son is now a bit too tall for the panel at 18mos although he is still comfortable in it. This is his favorite carrier (i have several wraps, a ktan, a mei tai and rs aside from the tula). I am petite at 5'3 99lbs and finding a comfortable ssc is hard for me but i can say that this is comfy enough to wear with ds at hours at a time. I hope the back panel is higher but we love it. And whatever keeps my son happy, makes me and hubby happy too. Love the beautiful hood too! �� My only regret was not getting one when my son was younger. We could've had more use out of it.
Comments about ERGObaby Organic Baby Carrier (Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee Lining):
Several years ago my best friend gave me the Ergo (original) that she used with her two boys, trust me, it got plenty of use. We have used the carrier everyday for the last 3 years with our daughter... over 1095 days! This past month one of the seams finally burst, but I've never been so happy to get something mended in my life. After we take it to the tailor, we will be using it for our son who should arrive in three months. Ergo is amazing for carrying two kids at once. Sincerely one of the only carriers that can double up front and back without compromising safety
Comments about ERGObaby Organic Baby Carrier (Dark Chocolate with Kona Coffee Lining):
I am really liking the ease of using this carrier. I can quickly get my 5mo daughter in and out of it while running errands. The hood is nice for when she gets sleepy as well as for extra nursing coverage. I find it very easy to nurse in and very discrete... You'd never know I was feeding my baby while grocery shopping :). She's very happy in it, everyone always tells me "what a good baby she is"... She's happiest next to momma's heart.

Childminder Fees
In 2014/15, the suggested Childminding charges set for full time childcare by NICMA's Childminding Advisory Council [made up of working Childminders] are a minimum hourly rate of £3.20 per hour per child. Part time places may be charged at an enhanced hourly rate. This does not take into account regional variations.
As Childminders are self employed childcarers, they can set their own terms and conditions and therefore the suggested charges are a guideline only.
For further information on childminding fees, contact NICMA on 02891 811015.
Minimum Standards
The 'Minimum Standards' were launched in July 12 as a means of providing a consistent level of quality for all childminding and daycare services and to ensure a consistent regional approach to registration and inspection.
There are 2 documents relating to Minimum Standards:
- Childminding and DayCare for Children under age 12 – Minimum Standards – July 12
- Childminding and DayCare for Children under age 12 – Minimum Standards – IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE – July 13
The Business Side of Childminding
Got a lot of questions about tax, National Insurance, business records and expenses?
This online tutorial from HMRC will build your confidence by guiding you through everything you need to know to get started. There are useful tips from others who have been where you are now and practical case studies to help you along the way.
Below are the details and links to our April childminder live webinars:

User Guide for Childminders
This User Guide is based on the Childminding and Day Care for Children Under Age 12 Minimum Standards and has been specifically written for childminders. It is not a replacement for the Minimum Standards but does cover each Standard, how it applies to you and the minimum you will need to provide for inspection.

|Whooping cough is thought to be on the rise for two main reasons. The whooping cough vaccine you receive as a child eventually wears off, leaving most teenagers and adults susceptible to the infection during an outbreak — and there continue to be regular outbreaks. In addition, children aren't fully immune to whooping cough until they've received at least three shots, leaving those 6 months and younger at greatest risk of contracting the infection.

Thank you for your response. I am also bothered by the number of sick kids at my dd's preschool. I keep her home when she's sick, but as a sahm I guess I have a luxury other parents don't. If the truly sick kids were kept home though, I think all the kids would be healthier. But, it might be the nature of little kids in big groups...they just don't have a handle on hygiene yet!
Actually, that's not the only factor in the rise of whooping cough.
According to the [URL="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/whooping-cough/DS00445/DSECTION=risk-factors"]mayo clinic[

And you know, I'm a parent trying to make the best decisions for my children and family and community just like any other parent. There is no call to disparage me or my choices.
I was under the impression that if you have a vax preventable disease in your school, any unvax'd children must be excluded, not a voluntary thing at all. So you might want to check into that first. This issue is the biggest reason for schools to have vaccination records.

@ TechEd 2007 I presented an overview session on new manageability features in SQL Server 2008. SQL Server Central's Steve Jones blogged about the session. Steve provides a pretty accurate account of the session (thanks Steve). This is mostly a straight forward report with a little editorial sprinkled in here and there.
There are a few items I'd like to address:
And finally this: Steve writes "The database manages itself. Not totally, but close to it. It was an analogy made by Dan Jones with cars. Auto shop isn't really offered in high school anymore, people don't "tinker" with their cars much anymore.
If this is true, we have more time for data design, data architecture. I'm not sure I agree and as much as I hear, the more I think a DBA needs to be around because when something goes south, it goes way down."
The point isn't that we can eliminate DBAs or push them to the "design room". But rather, DBAs can focus on the harder more interesting problems. Think of it this way. It used to be the case when you put bad gas in your car, or the wrong octane, your car would ping. This is no longer the case. In addition, your car needed a tune-up every 30K miles or so. This is also no longer the case. Does this mean mechanics no longer see cars for pings or tune-ups? Absolutely not, it does mean they see fewer cars and time between visits is greater. In most instances the cases mechanics are handling are more complicated and require more advanced skills. I think this will be true for DBAs as well. The simple stuff will be handled by the system. The more complex stuff, though the system will help, will require the knowledge and skills of a rock star DBA.
It will be fun to see how this all plays out over the next 10 years.

China enjoyed a growth rate of more than 10 per cent from 2000 to 2010. But its economy is now in trouble. Read more
Blogs review: Understanding the mechanics and economics of Bitcoins
10th April 2013
What's at stake: The value of Bitcoins – the peer-to-peer currency – has been soaring so much of late that you have certainly heard about it. It is also likely that you still don't fully understand how this decentralized payment mechanism works in practice as it is hard to build a bridge between the overly general and the overly complicated descriptions of the system. Here is our (imperfect) take at it based on what we have read so far. The monetary economics of it is fairly straightforward and uninteresting, but the mechanics of making payments over a communications channel without a trusted party is really interesting. Read more
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Initiative: Hope or Hype?
5th March 2013
The decision to launch negotiations on a bilateral free trade area between the EU and the US, called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) or EU-US free trade area is being hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as a historic development. Why have the EU and the US decided to undertake this "historic" project and at this point in time? Read more
Blogs review: The Minimum Wage debate
4th March 2013
What's at stake: In his State of the Union Address, US President Barack Obama resurrected a pledge to raise the minimum wage he had made during the 2008 campaign. In an effort to fight inequality, alleviate poverty and make work more attractive President Obama proposed proposed a $9 federal minimum wage, indexed to inflation. This has generated a lot of writings in the blogosphere, with the main issues revolving around the classic questions of the employment effect of the minimum wage as well as its efficacy as a means of redistribution.

Towards further liberalisation of the capital account in China
22nd February 2013
In China, discussions on capital account liberalisation have recently intensified. The Chinese government plans to gradually liberalise certain capital account items in the areas in which there is sufficient demand from the real economy and areas with relatively low investment risk, while maintaining tight regulation/supervision over the other items of the capital account and the financial sector. In response, Korean financial institutions need to establish strategies that will enable them to take part in this change, especially in the areas expected to undergo capital account liberalisation in the early stage.

Blogs review: The safe asset shortage
22nd February 2013
What's at stake: Safe debts – or what is often called information insensitive assets, as they do not suffer from the types of financial frictions that are characteristic to other financial assets – play a major role in facilitating transactions for institutional investors. And, as we have learned in the recent years, they also play a major role in triggering financial crises when they loose their safety status and turn into information sensitive assets. As central bankers start backpedalling on their commitments to increase the supply of safe assets and start worrying about the negative effects of the "search for yield", there has been a renewed discussion in the blogosphere about the role of safe assets and whether they remain in short supply. Read more
The implications of the weakening Yen*
21st February 2013
The recent trend of the weakening Japanese yen reflects a major policy shift in Japan, following the formation of the government of prime minister Shinzo Abe. While the speed of yen depreciation has been rather fast, the depreciation has not yet even corrected the yen's appreciation since the global financial crisis erupted. The new inflation target, two percent per year, is not extraordinary. Therefore, the talks about 'currency wars' are not justified. The desperate economic situation of Japan warranted a new policy approach, but there are concerns about the effectiveness of the new policy mix. In the coming quarters, both the euro and the Korean won are expected to appreciate, which could increase concerns that the exports of euro-area and Korean companies will be weakened. In particular, it will make it much more difficult for southern European countries to correct their external imbalances. Read more
Basel III: Europe's Interest Is to Comply
18th February 2013
On February 14, European Commissioner Michel Barnier and Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo indicated their agreement to quickly give the Basel III accord binding force over, respectively, European and American banks. This is welcome. But even more important than the exact timing of adoption is that it should stay true to what the accord actually stipulates. At this point, and contrary to many perceptions in Europe, this is likely to be the case of the US but not in the EU. Read more
Blogs review: Asset prices and monetary policy redux
15th February 2013
What's at stake: Federal Reserve Governor Jeremy Stein gave serious consideration to the idea that monetary policy has a role to play in managing financial stability (read asset prices) in a speech titled "Overheating in Credit Markets: Origins, Measurement, and Policy Responses" given last week at a conference hosted by the St. Louis Fed. Governor Stein provided evidence that risk was building in certain segments of financial markets and discussed policy tools that go beyond countercyclical macroprudential regulation or the simple use of the Federal Funds rate to address these risks.

Four-way switch problem
I have a four-way switch controlling just one light. It was working fine. I replaced one of the two 3-way switches and it stopped working correctly. Now, all three work only in certain combinations.
I never touched the 4-way or other 3-way. I have double checked that the hot wire is on the proper terminal on both 3-ways. What could be going on here??
I recently replaced a 3-way switch and the replacement looked identical to what I took out. However, after reviewing the spec sheet, I realized that the manufacturer had switched the terminals around. I know you say that the hot wire is on the proper terminal, but is that based on wiring it up with the wires in the same positions, or on having absolutely verified what all of the terminals are? Don't mean to be insulting...just throwing out a possibility.
My lack of electrical understanding is so low, insult is impossible :)
I did verify the hot and connected it to the dark colored terminal that has no screw opposite it. Thinking more about it, I figured the only other reasonable possibility is that the hot was still on the wrong terminal, so I swapped the blacks and now all is good.

Pleasant round hike over the high Piora plateau – with views of two picturesque mountain lakes and the famous Piora alpine cheese dairy along the way.
Switzerland's hiking trail network is considered one of the densest, most varied and over all, best posted one in the world. More than 65,000 km of mountain and hiking trails are marked: lined up, all of these trails would circle the globe about 1.5 times! Please remember that the weather can change very rapidly in the mountains. Even though the sky may be clear when you set out, you should still take along warm clothes or a fold up jacket for inclement weather. Always tell someone at your hotel where you are hiking.
Sports activities and nature conservancy are not always and everywhere reconcilable. Conflicts arise frequently: Climbing activities during the breeding times of the peregrine falcon and the eagle owl, or paragliding in areas where chamois make their home, are disturbing influences in pristine nature.

The heavy-metal-loving governor of Indonesian capital Jakarta has surrendered to anti-corruption authorities a guitar that was a gift from US band Metallica, an official said yesterday.Wednesday, 8 May, 2013, 2:26am

The floods in Jakarta were typical of what Asia's mega-cities have experienced or face. Like the region's other big urban centres, the city of 10 million people is in a low-lying, coastal, area. Poor strategic planning, little investment in infrastructure and corruption and a lack of political will have created significant vulnerabilities to climate change. Inadequate availability of water and sewage systems, severe traffic snarls and slums are everyday realities. When the high temperatures, heavy downpours and sea surges come, chaos, lost productivity, devastation and tragedy are inevitable.28 Jan 2013 - 3:04am
Floods in Indonesia's capital Jakarta have left at least 11 people dead, authorities said on Friday as murky brown waters submerged parts of the city's business district, causing chaos for a second day.18 Jan 2013 - 8:02pm

Jakarta police spokesman Colonel Rikwanto said several thousand labourers rallied on Thursday near the presidential palace in the capital, Jakarta, before marching peacefully to the parliament building.22 Nov 2012 - 3:59pm

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Broadway production of Grease, original cast members of the smash musical reunited to perform Dec. 5-6 at the annual Gypsy of the Year competition produced by and supporting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. We've got hand-jivin' highlights from Dec. 5. Cast members including Barry Bostwick (Danny), Carole Demas (Sandy), Walter Bobbie (Roger) and Adrienne Barbeau (Betty Rizzo) returned to sing songs they introduced back in 1972, including "Greased Lightin'," "Born to Hand Jive," "Freddy, My Love," "We Go Together" and more. They were supported by chorus kids who probably weren't born when Grease first slickened the Great White Way. For more on the reunion and Gypsy of the Year, click here.

Fall Intros
While cruising daylily sites yesterday, I noticed that Floyd Cove Nursery has their new fall intros up. I saw 3 that I'm putting on my early Christmas wish list.
I received the catalog the other day, and several really wowed me. I want JOLLY GOOD YELLOW! I also like the ones out of tet TEXAS KALEIDOSCOPE. Other favorites include PEAK OF PERFECTION, which sounds like it'd put on a fantastic display, and the dreamy HEARTS OF DIXIE, which apparently has at least one dormant one in its background.
But I have had mixed success with the southern stuff. Some, like GET JIGGY, are just wonderful; others have croaked during their first winter. I'm sure dormancy in the background is a key element, if not the key one. My inclination is to let other northern collectors buy at intro prices and test grow for me. So, Linda, let me know how your three do for you. ;)
The 4 I like most are Barracuda Bite (more teeth genetics to play with), Jolly Good Yellow (wasn't on their website when I posted), Roman Steel, and Going Big Time.
Lynxe, Summer Crown rot has been more of a loss issue for me than nasty winter cold. The majority of my registered DL's are Sev's, followed by Ev's and the dormants are in the minority. Most of the plants are field grown, with a dozen or so around the house. I did loose a few older lilies last winter in one particular bed, but overall I've had crown rot cause more losses than winter hardiness issues.
I like that Jolly Good Yellow too. I hope someone tries it out. Below is a link to the Floyd Cove website.....Maryl

Great, make BoP 1/3 weaker and take power away from the player. Do you even realize what you are suggesting ? BoP at BG5 level packs 28k hull, you want to remove 9k and make me dependent on two NPC controlled ships for DPS ? Really ?
21k hull+5k shields and 2 NPC BoPs to follow me around ? Do all 3 get 21k hulls or we share that too ? 7k hull a pop ? How will all 3 align to fire their DHCs at the federation cruise that is turning ?
Unless I am badly missing something in your writing, your ideas are comming from the RPer/trekkie perspective and not a serious PvPer. Your concept would be nice in a strategy game, where positioning and tactics were important, as well as staying true to Star Trek lore. In STO your ideas simply don't work and can't be implimented.

Government Shutdown
Lily Bradley is not one for idle time. She received her MBA from Harvard Business School, founded and ran her own consulting firm and provided sophisticated analysis related to health care and economics for a variety of enterprises.
Bradley's success in the private sector landed her an innovation fellowship at the Department of Health and Human Services, where she has worked on open-data projects since February.
Since Oct. 1, however, she has been benched.
"It's disheartening that the government has been shut down," Bradley said. "I don't feel like I am being given the opportunity to serve in the way that I was brought on to. This hasn't happened in 17 years, so I'm hopeful it's not indicative of the environment going forward."
Bradley is just one of the many federal fellows, including the approximately 50 Presidential Innovation Fellows, who have been relegated to inactivity because of the partial government shutdown.
"When I start to think about the work, I get a little bit upset I think because I like want to keep working on it but we've been told that they're going to do an audit and we'll get in trouble if we're caught having done work during the furlough," she said.
Lily Bradley has volunteered at a school while waiting out the shutdown.
Bradley has volunteered at a school as part of her effort to keep busy, but she has to stay clear of anything that might even appear to be a conflict of interest related to her work, a norm for the federal workforce.
"I was brought into this position to work on this intersection of policy and business to improve health care. The focus has been on opening data and supporting entrepreneurial work that will use data innovatively to solve problems," she said, although she could not be more specific because they have yet to be announced to the public.
Dave Caraway is a presidential innovation fellow working for data.gov. Caraway has also been furloughed, though he is confident the shutdown will not have long-term ramifications for fellows.
"Short term of course, my observation has been with our program and probably with many other programs, whenever you stop something that's in [progress], it's going to take a little bit more to get it going again," said Caraway, the founder of software services company Fogmine and a one-time Lockheed engineer.
Caraway is helping develop improved search tools and data visualizations for the next iteration of data.gov. Even though his specific goals probably won't be affected by the shutdown, Caraway said the data catalogues that agencies are supposed to release in November as part of President Barack Obama's open-data initiative might be delayed.
"Most of my goals involve getting a certain number of things accomplished and I think they've been accomplished to date," he said. Caraway's fellowship ends in December.
Bradley hasn't been quite so lucky.
"There will be internal deadlines that will pass and given that the people I'm working with to whom I owe that work, that they are also on furlough status, I think people will be understanding," she said.
Bradley said that even though in hindsight she thinks she would still have accepted her two-year fellowship, she has been wondering over the past few days if she should've taken an offer in the private sector.
"I really want to make the country a better place. I really want to improve health care and I feel like I'm not allowed to do that at all until they open up the government again," she said.
Bradley said that after her fellowship, which ends in 2015, she could see taking a break from the public sector before returning at some point in the future.
"I think that the American people deserve better," Bradley said. "I think there's a lot of really great talent right now sitting on the sidelines and it would be nice if we could all get back to delivering services to the American people and writing good policy and taking care of the most vulnerable populations."

... me, which was awesome because Marian spoke fluent Italian and had also been to Rome before. We found ourselves in a tiny restaurant in an alley that we chose because the chef came out to lure us inside and told us that the food was excellent and that we could trust him because he was a fat chef. When I say the restaurant was tiny, I mean it. There were about 6 tables, and the only other patrons in the establishment were 2 Italian couples. Marian and I ordered a bottle of wine ...

At first we thought it would be easy, but then we realized that we were biking on cobblestones...and worse is the giant rocks that don't connect and aren't flat. I have never had a more bouncy biking experience. But it was an absolute blast to ride a bike and have lunch on the countryside. This weekend was one of the best that I've spent in the city of Rome.

I pictured the lovely ferry ride from Barcelona to Rome to be all sparkly blue Mediterranean water, sharp distant mountains and perhaps even some frolicking sea nymphs, instead I got a leaden sky and sea and absolutely nothing else to see. Even the casual appearance of Sardinia was underwhelming, still it was fun to do and I made friends with a mad Roman woman which was a sign of the wonderful things to come.
