Integrity. All the mayoral candidates in this fall's civic election are promising to deliver more of it.
It's not hard to see why. Soon-to-be-former-mayor Sam Katz will leave a trail of ethical and moral transgressions in his wake when he retires from politics this fall. The crescendo to date was a decision by Manitoba Justice to forward three audits of city real estate deals to the RCMP for consideration. But what does "more integrity" really mean, and how exactly are we going find more of it at city hall, an institution that has shown nothing less than utter contempt for the concept?
Several candidates have already delivered their ideas for improving integrity, transparency and accountability.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis wants to convert the civic auditor general into a new, enhanced agency that would investigate legal and ethical conflicts. Brian Bowman promised less secrecy in debates and decision-making at city hall. Robert-Falcon Ouellette would create a conflict-of-interest commissioner to advise council on rules and laws.
There are some promising nuggets in these proposals. Unfortunately, this is a very big problem that requires a very big solution; a solution that has so far evaded this crop of candidates.
Where can we turn? Local government is a creation of the provincial legislature. Provinces are also responsible for the laws needed to ensure responsible local government.
To date, however, the NDP government has been little more than a bystander to the chicanery at city hall. As concerns mounted about Katz and his relationship to certain developers, the province did nothing. Manitoba Justice did forward the real-estate audits to the RCMP. But the province has otherwise been unwilling to enter the maelstrom, concerned about political blowback from a fight with Katz and his allies.
The good news is this fall, following the civic vote, the province will have its best chance yet to deal with this issue. With no incumbent in the race, a new mayor with a clean slate will be taking over city hall. This is an opportunity to revamp provincial law and create a new office with new powers to ensure future transgressions are properly investigated.
The province could start with the Municipal Council Conflict of Interest Act, an outdated, incomplete, wholly inadequate joke of a law.
The law outlines a very limited number of potential conflicts of interest that are, in the modern context, desperately thin. It focuses mostly on elected officials doing business with people they know. However, if Katz proved anything, it is a definition like that does not even begin to cover the array of conflicts some politicians can conjure.
The current act does not contain details on where to make a complaint, or who or what should investigate that complaint. In fact, the words "investigate" and "prosecute" do not appear anywhere in the text of the act.
The only penalty for being found guilty is expulsion from office.
The consequence of a law like this is that only very few of the many ethical and moral concerns that arise over dealings involving municipal officials ever get the attention they deserve. Some do make their way to the office of the provincial auditor general; many more die when complainants realize there is nowhere, and no one, to turn to.
To understand just how useless this law really is, one need only look at the recent court battle between Katz and restaurateur Joe Chan.
Chan alleged a conflict of interest when the city paid to hold a staff party at a restaurant Katz owned at the time.
A Court of Queen's Bench judge rejected the complaint on the basis the law only applied to decisions of council. The Manitoba Court of Appeal disagreed with that opinion, but noted there was not enough evidence to prove Katz was directly involved in the decision to hold the party at his restaurant.
In the lower court decision, however, the judge also said Katz demonstrated "bad political and ethical behaviour." Unfortunately, the judge continued, the only penalty available -- being thrown out of office -- was "utterly disproportionate" for the alleged violation.
In the fall session of the legislature, which will be convened after the October civic elections, the province should table a modernized municipal conflict-of-interest law and create a new complaint and investigatory body to assess specific cases and prescribe penalties.
Post civic vote, the province would have the comfort of introducing these changes without having to comment on, or wade into, any specific charge against any specific politician.
Let's think of the possibilities.
A new mayor. A clean slate. A chance to ensure municipal politicians who want to bend rules, cut corners or otherwise take advantage of a vague, ineffective law are held to account.
That would ensure regardless of who becomes mayor in October, the citizens are the real winners.

... And trust us, it wasn't always easy (especially for the one who always thought she was right).
Flexibility was key. We were both open to changing our plans for the day if something better came up or if the day wasn't working out quite the way we had hoped.
Having our own personal space where we could retreat to read, relax or sleep was a lifesaver.

Made it as far as Warrenton, Missouri on day 2. As you can see by the picture, Braddock has become a lapdog. Nice weather and mostly decent roads so far. Tried a short cut in Western Kentucky, though, where the two-lane highway had bumps and dips and a very narrow bridge over the Mississippi River. Probably won't do that one again. Nebraska ...

By now we needed gas, so we went a little out of our way to a Costco for ...

The preschool/daycare head teacher, Mr. P., was a DELIGHTFUL man who was genuinely passionate about teaching kids and laughing...at times, I think he was having more fun than the kids were!
We ate lunch back at the RV, which was really nice downtime, and then we hit up some ...

Unfortunately, the senior center was NOT hopping, so we hung out with a nice woman named Becky who was really excited about having a clown there. John made some balloon animals for the folks who were there and then we were on our way.

603 - Extension Related to Payments for Medicare
Outpatient Therapy Services
- Section
603 extends the exceptions process for outpatient
therapy caps through December 31, 2013. Providers
of outpatient therapy services are required to submit
the KX modifier on their therapy claims, when an
exception to the cap is requested for medically
necessary services furnished through December 31, 2013.
In addition, the new law extends the application of the
cap and threshold to therapy services furnished in a
hospital outpatient department (OPD), and counts
outpatient therapy services furnished in a Critical
Access Hospital towards the cap and threshold.
Additional information about the exception process for
therapy services may be found in the Medicare Claims
Processing Manual, Pub.100-04, Chapter 5, Section 10.3:
therapy caps are determined for a beneficiary on a
calendar year basis, so all beneficiaries began a new
cap for outpatient therapy services received on January
1, 2013. For physical therapy and speech language
pathology services combined, the 2013 limit for a
beneficiary on incurred expenses is $1,900. There
is a separate cap for occupational therapy services
which is $1,900 for 2013. Deductible and
coinsurance amounts applied to therapy services count
toward the amount accrued before a cap is reached, and
also apply for services above the cap where the KX
modifier is used.
603 also extends the mandate that Medicare perform
manual medical review of therapy services furnished
January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, for which an
exception was requested when the beneficiary has reached
a dollar aggregate threshold amount of $3,700 for
therapy services, including OPD therapy services, for a
year. There are two separate $3,700 aggregate
annual thresholds: (1) physical therapy and
speech-language pathology services, and (2) occupational
therapy services.
604 - Extension of Ambulance Add-On Payments
- Section
604 extends the following three Job
Creation Act ambulance payment provisions:
(1) the 3 percent increase in the ambulance fee schedule
amounts for covered ground ambulance transports that
originate in rural areas and the 2 percent increase for
covered ground ambulance transports that originate in
urban areas is extended through December 31, 2013; (2)
the provision relating to air ambulance services that
continues to treat as rural any area that was designated
as rural on December 31, 2006, for purposes of payment
under the ambulance fee schedule, is extended through
June 30, 2013; and (3) the provision relating to payment
for ground ambulance services that increases the base
rate for transports originating in an area that is
within the lowest 25th percentile of all rural areas
arrayed by population density (known as the "super
rural" bonus) is extended through December 31, 2013.
is currently revising the 2013 Medicare Ambulance Fee
Schedule (MAFS) to reflect the new law's
requirements. In order to allow sufficient time to
develop, test, and implement the revised MAFS, Medicare
claims administration contractors may hold MAFS claims
with January 2013 dates of service for up to 10 business
days (i.e., through January 15, 2013). We expect
these claims to be released into processing no later
than January 16, 2013. The claim hold should have
minimal impact on supplier cash flow because, under
current law, clean electronic claims are not paid sooner
than 14 calendar days (29 for paper claims) after the
date of receipt. Claims with dates of service
prior to January 1, 2013, are unaffected.
of ambulance services affected by these provisions may
continue billing as usual.
605 - Extension of Medicare Inpatient Hospital Payment
Adjustment for Low-Volume Hospitals
- The
Care Act allowed qualifying low-volume
hospitals to receive add-on payments based on the number
of Medicare discharges. To qualify, the hospital
must have less than 1,600 Medicare discharges and be 15
miles or greater from the nearest like hospital.
This provision extends the payment adjustment through
September 30, 2013, retroactive to October 1, 2012.
Be on the alert for further information about
implementation of this provision.
606 - Extension of the Medicare-Dependent Hospital (MDH)
- The
MDH program provides enhanced payment to support small
rural hospitals for which Medicare patients make up a
significant percentage of inpatient days or discharges.
This provision extends the MDH program until
October 1, 2013, and is retroactive to October 1, 2012.
Be on the alert for further information about
implementation of this provision.

So today instead of being productive like I should have been, I sat at my computer and decided where we will be eating while we are there! Our first day we will be in Downtown Disney, so I think we will do Fulton's Crab House that night, then our Epcot day is Akershus for breakfast and Coral Reef for dinner, Animal Kingdom day is Tusker House breakfast, and Jiko for dinner, Our first MK day is Chef Mickey for breakfast ( I know this is a the Contemporary Resort) and Be Our Guest for dinner, and our second MK day we will be eating at Cinderella's Royal Table (breakfast) and Hoop De Doo Revue for dinner (the late seating so we can stay longer at the park that day). Our last day is a toss up because our flight will leave at 3:15 pm. So we might go for an early lunch in Downtown Disney, or just eat the food court at our hotel (POR). So ready to make ADRs!!
Hi Jeanette!! Exciting to see you over here!
Hey! That sounds very close to our plans. LOL We always go to DTD the first day, so we're planning on grabbing dinner at T-Rex. And we're doing breakfast at Akershaus (that's a tradition for us) and a dinner at Coral Reef (my daughter wants to do that).
What are your dates again? Do I have you on the list? Oh, and can I just mention that POR's food court is awe-some??? lol I love the make your own salad, while my daughter is partial to the make your own pasta. And the desserts are fabulous as well!
It would be so cool to actually meet up. I think I'm going a bit too early compared to everyone else.
Hey Jen
We didn't know about Trenton either. We flew from Allentown in November..cheap easy parking and small airport. But not an economy plane if you know what I mean ...thank goodness for that
Then I started researching Trenton when I saw Frontier was starting service to MCO and there is FREE parking Mind you we will probably drive...but once they release fares...we may just fly
I'll be there!!!!
I don't think I'm on the list yet.. We are going Nov 15-20 or 21st, still undecided exactly on when we are coming back. I'm excited about the food court. The only time I've ever been we stayed at the Poly. I LOVED it and that or AK is where we will stay on our next trip..
I will be calling my ADRs while I am in Disney....that is a first!!!
We are going to have to meet up! We will be there at the same time pretty much. We have a 5th Wheeler and I have been on eBay and Amazon looking for decorations for our camper. Can't wait too book our ADRs!!!
November 6-12th staying at POR in a Royal Room!!! I cannot wait to get back home again! Bringing my god-daughter for her very first Disney trip!
I'm starting now to plan for an early November trip!
I'm thinking either a Royal Room or Art of Animation. Or a split stay with both!
I'm hoping to drag my mom along with me.
Is there a November 13 Facebook group? If so, can someone send me a link?
Thought I'd join in on this fun! My husband and I will be making our first (of many, hopefully! ) trip to Disney World this November.
We've talked about changing our original dates, but I think we're going to stick with November 4th - 8th.
We'll be at Coronado Springs and going with the DxDP. I'm so excited!!
Don't think I made the list
jskleinman. 11/2-9. CR
Yes, we have a FB group!!! Send me a PM with your name and what your FB avatar looks like (or your hometown) and I'll get you set up.
I'll add you to the first post!!!
I missed you?!? I am so sorry. Gotcha now!!!
BTW, chefsparrow, you and I will overlap at POR for a couple of days. We'll have to try and say hi to each other.
Add me to the list! Checking in Thursday 11/14, checking out Friday 11/22. We are staying at CSR and I have been contemplating booking business class. Still reading reports on that before I decide though!
Hi all! I guess I'm what you would call a long time lurker here on the boards. Decided to post about our first family trip to world nov 14 to the 22nd. So excited to share one of my favorite places in the world with my family.
Wonderful!!! And I was a lurker for YEARS before I finally joined and posted. lol Happy to have you on board!
Where are you going to stay?
We'll be staying at CSR during that same time. Maybe we will get a chance to say hello to each other. This will be our first time at this resort, but it looks beautiful, great pool for dd and I have heard transportation is good. I can't wait! We are debating if we want to stay in Cabana 8A/8B or Casitas 4. Welcome to our group!!
We'll miss each other by a day! We check out of CSR on the 13th. That business class sounds tempting, but I don't know how many nights we would be back before 10:00 pm. I want to do more mornings at the park and relaxing in the evenings, but old habits are hard to break! If not, we are going to request cabanas 8A or B or Casitas 4. All ook like great locations to bus stops and pool area which are our main considerations.
Welcome Aboard!!

Hot on the Jim Marrs' post "Who Parked Our Moon" that resurfaced last week, now the highly respected science journal Nature gets in on the act of questioning just what the deal is with our moon. Author Robin Canup, associate vice-president of the Planetary Science Directorate of Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado, says current theories on the formation of the Moon owe too much to cosmic coincidences:
… Read the rest
The Moon is more than just a familiar sight in our skies. It dictates conditions on Earth. The Moon is large enough to stabilize our planet's rotation, holding Earth's polar axis steady to within a few degrees. Without it, the current Earth's tilt would vary chaotically by tens of degrees. Such large variations might not preclude life, but would lead to a vastly different climate.
Knowing how the Moon was made is central to understanding Earth and the formation of other planets.

You will find this home to be a Comfortably furnished 4 bedroom on the Strand in Oceanside ! We have a maxium capacity of 10 people.( please no events. Wedding,receptions etc.) thank you !!!
Wonderful home, newer to the vacation rental market. Relax with family and friends in the large ocean view great room complete with comfortable seating, large flat screen TV. Kitchen has upgraded appliances and is stocked with all you will need to make meals at home, while watching surfers and sea life! There are 3 bedrooms upstairs; master has a king size bed, flat screen TV and ocean view deck, and an easy chair to watch TV or read in at the end of a fun filled day.The other two bedrooms have queen size beds on this upper level, and share a Jack and Jill' bath. Plenty of space in the upper level to watch the surfers, the dolphins that come by daily or just lull yourself to a relaxed state watching the waves roll in and out. The downstairs has the theatre room, a pool/game table, and the 4th large bedroom. It also has a small kitchenette to stock with drinks and snacks for thirsty beach goers. The 3 car garage has plenty of beach toys and boogie boards for kids of all ages. If you haven't been to Oceanside lately, you should come see how much its changed, and all it has to offer. One of the flattest beach cities in San Diego you can literally park your car and walk or ride bikes everywhere. You can walk to the farmers market on Thursday mornings and get fresh local produce and food from hundreds of vendors, or walk to one of the longest piers in Southern California. There are two restaurants to choose from right at the pier, and Ruby's at the end of the pier. On Thursday evenings the street fair is set up again with live music, vendors with hundreds of options for gifts and every type of food you can imagine. There is now a small 'Stone Brewery' to stop in at and get a wonderful craft beer while sitting around an out door firepit. The famous 'Top Gun' house is located just a few hundred yards down the Strand for a nostalgic photo opportunity. Want to see a movie? There is a theatre right up the street. There is also many restaurants, bars, coffee shops, surf shops, ice cream stores, most within walking and biking distance. The Oceanside Harbor is just a short distance further on bikes or by foot and offers water sports, and charter boats for hire. If you decide to get out of Oceanside, you can be at a half dozen theme parks within an hour: Disneyland, Disney California Adventures,Knott's Berry Farm, Sea World, The San Diego Zoo, The Wild Animal Park, and all the Los Angeles movie studios are only a short drive further. Sports fans? How about walking to the train station and cruising the rail system downtown to see the San Diego chargers play or taking in the Padres at Petco park! There is also Balboa Park and the Gaslamp district within a 40-60 minute drive. If you are a horse racing fan, we offer the Del Mar race track from mid July to September. Oceanside is the perfect 'home base' to see so much of what southern California offers. If hiking or adventure biking is your thing, we have amazing trails around San Diego for both of those too! In fact there is a very long 'coastal rail Trail' for bicycling enthusiasts to ride the train and hop off and ride your bikes all through Oceanside and down into San Diego. Come check us out-You will Love visiting Oceanside!
bob & jan fillion ,We would love to share our beach home with you and your family and freinds.
Bob & Jan Fillion purchased this house in 2012
very unique property that lets you bring all your family and freinds together and gives you plenty of space when you want to get away.
location,location,location is what our family and freinds have to say about their beach experience at our home.so many things to see and do all so close to our home.
We had a wonderful time during our stay over New Year's this year. The house was fully equipped for every need; from bikes, beach toys, and wet suits to a fully stocked kitchen for our cooking needs. It was clean, had great views, and comfortable seating for all of us to enjoy our time together. We all had a great time (ages 3-65) and would definitely go back to the same house if we returned to that area.
House was great ! right on the beach ! Bob and Jan made everything easy ! Had grown kids and grandkids with
us and everyone had own room. House was very well stocked. Had use of bikes, surf boards, beach toys, games
and much more. We all had a great time and would come back again !!!!!
We stayed in this wonderful property over the Thanksgiving weekend and our family had a most memorable holiday.
The house is in such an ideal location - the sand and water just steps away, the pier just a stroll down The Strand, downtown a pleasant walk or bike ride away! The house was so well appointed and clean. Our family ranged in age from the 70s to 12 years old and everyone loved the house and the experience of being there. Games, beach toys and chairs, bikes, movies, and an extensive kitchenware inventory were all provided. We made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all of the fixings and were not in want of any utensils, plates, pots/pans, bowls/dishes, or glassware.
The owners were very nice and responsive and even checked in during our stay to make sure we were doing OK.
I'd highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again in the future.
Thank you to The Fillions for helping make Thanksgiving truly special.
We had a fantastic time on the Strand! The house is great - lots of room for everyone! Everything was provided - lots of kitchen stuff - blender, crockpot, lots of pans, utensils etc. and a bonus was the kitchen has been updated! Wetsuits, boogie boards, lots of sand toys and chairs for the beach! The beach was wonderful - so fun to watch the surfers and the sunsets! Sitting on the deck with a drink was perfect! Bob checked in with us midstay to make sure everything was fine and to see if we needed anything. We had no problems - would recommend it in a flash!
Thank you Bob and Jan for such an amazing family vacation! Our family came together in Oceanside from Reno, Nv and Phoenix, Az. and we couldn't have asked for a better home or location! Your home supplied everything for the beach and kitchen, so we only needed clothes which is a big deal since we were 10 hours away. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck and simply taking in the views. This was the most fun we've had playing in the ocean and waves. The ability to use your bikes, boogie boards, and wet suits was great since we didn't have room to bring those items with us. The Farmers Market on Thursdays was absolutely amazing, and delicious. It had a little bit of everything, and I loved how close things were for walking and biking. We will love to stay with you again if we make another trip to Oceanside!!
We spent a week in the luxury at this property. We had 5 adults and 5 children and the house was so big we never got into each others way. It is configured perfectly for 10 people. I'm afraid we over packed since they supplied the beach towels, bogie boards, surf boards, beach chairs and so much more. The three car garage was so nice. We had a little situation with the garage door and the owner was on it in a flash. We have already recommended the property to another couple. Thank you Bob and Jan for a memorable week.
Oceanside is a wonderful coastal town at the very north end of San Diego. It is a flat community that encourages bicycle riding and walking. There is a harbor and marina with restaurants and bars within walking/bicycling distance of this home. There are other great restaurants, ice cream, yogurt shop and a Regal cinema, all within walking distance. Oceanside also has a wonderful farmers market on Thursdays with local fresh produce and wonderful food options. On Thursday evenings it is repeated with live music and every type of food vendor you can imagine. The street fair also has fun booths with art and other gifts for sale. You are next door to Carlsbad and can actually bike there too. The Oceanside beaches are sandy and long. The pier has a Ruby's restaurant at the end that is a fun place to fish or watch fishing.

I am interested in quantum control problems concerning continuous quantum measurements in the presence of feedback. I've also worked, in the past, on quantum information theory with applications to certain models of black holes.
Why does the act of measuring a quantum system disturb it? As far as the axioms of quantum mechanics go, quantum measurement stands out as the only irreversible and discontinuous process that quantum states undergo. This is not always the case, however, as some quantum measurements can be designed to disturb quantum states only very weakly. It has already been shown that a rapid succession of such weak measurements can decompose any general quantum measurement into a continuous stochastic process using a feedback loop. Can these loops be implemented experimentally? Some physical systems, such as superconducting qubits, cannot be measured directly and have slow read-out times. In these cases, the measurement can be performed via a stream of probes. Which general measurements can be performed this way?

On Failure Detection Algorithms in Overlay Networks
Free registration required
Executive Summary
One of the key reasons overlay networks are seen as an excellent platform for large scale distributed systems is their resilience in the presence of node failures. This resilience relies on accurate and timely detection of node failures. Despite the prevalent use of keep-alive algorithms in overlay networks to detect node failures, their tradeoffs and the circumstances in which they might best be suited are not well understood. In this paper, the authors study how the design of various keep-alive approaches affect their performance in node failure detection time, probability of false positive, control overhead, and packet loss rate via analysis, simulation, and implementation.

Around 50 Chinese companies were in contact with the industry body, Assocham's secretary general D S Rawat told PTI.
Assocham suggested that retrospective amendment be withdrawn in the Budget while calling for e-hearings, quicker IT refunds and raising tax exemption.
Indian equities are likely to continue its bullish run this year on the back of improved corporate earnings, according to a Assocham report.
A recent study by Assocham stated that agriculture credit is not reaching small farm holders in India, resulting in high level of indebtedness.
The northern state has also registered an improvement in terms of electricity coverage during 2001-2011, industry body Assocham said in a release.
'In any case why should the government decision-making concerning policies which have a bearing on the corporates be shrouded in secrecy.'
"We are preparing a blueprint for the development of Gwalior district," Assocham secretary general DS Rawat said.
The base price of 3G spectrum fixed by the Cabinet is not reasonable and needs to be reviewed, industry body Assocham said today.
Assocham and the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI) have jointly set up the country's first 'Virtual Centre for Development of MSMEs'.
In order to boost the auto sector, the previous UPA government had cut excise duty on cars, SUVs and two-wheelers in the interim Budget in February.

Updated earnings. Looks like Dacogen did about 43M in sales. About 1M more then YOY. I cannot find the audio version to presentation. But here is the link to what I did find:
My understanding Easai just finished the 1Q10. If I find the audio I will provide the link.
So that means 43 million at 20% royalties were better than the 8 million and the earnings revenue did beat this quarters guidance however the revenues came in at the latter stages. Yeah
Thanks billy.
So with 30 million revenue for Dacogen last quarter and 43 million this quarter we should see a little more than 9 million royalties for Dacogen in next quarter's earnings.
Of course, this does not include JNJ. If they can get China rolling, we could be looking cash flow positive next quarter.
Can someone verify for me, does the JNJ deal require that they pay royalties at the highest (30%) level regardless of what EISAI reports?
I'm sure Easai's deal with JNJ is for a set percentage, let's say 35%(my guess). If U.S. sales 160M for annual year and then we have let's say 40M outside, supg only cares about each gap up percentage, doesn't matter where they come from, they eventually get added together to move the percentage up. All we care about is WW sales keep growing, easai has to pay on the accumulated sales and eventually they push the total over each 50% increased percentage.
Thanks Mr. Jelly. When this company can get positive and support itself GOING FORWARD NOT FOR A QTR OF TWO. is a day of victory or us all.
my guess is dacogen sales are decreasing in US but do to JNJ efforts...sales are increasing out of US...so the net-net to SUPG may be stable numbers...possibly wishful thinking. It would be helpful if either esai or SUPG actually broke those numbers down for us.
Eisai did not report J&J sales, only US sales by Eisai.
thanks solong or is it free monkey.
Looks like Dacogen did about 43M in sales
But free monkey said
Manuso stated that Easai gave guidance of significate growth, I listen to the quarter update on easai and they gave no guidance
If anyone put a pencil to the $2M short fall in revenues they would understand that meant that these wholesalers returned $10M of dacogen
I'm going to catch that stupid monkey and give him to the local zoo.

Science Evangelist is a term I've been seeing a lot of lately, and I really like it. Who rates usage of the term? Only some of the brightest stars in the science education community… Ainissa Ramirez (read about her on the TED blog) is one of my favorites, and I think just about everyone admires Neil deGrasse Tyson (who recently achieved Twitterati status). Steve Spangler is fun (he even wowed Ellen DeGeneres), and the newest but certainly not the least-inspiring person on my radar is Paul Andersen (2011 Montana Teacher of the Year, one of four finalists for the 2011 National Teacher of the Year, and YouTube Edu Guru). We were lucky enough to meet him at a recent conference, learned a lot about what's happening in the science ed community, and we're hoping to do so again at our National Conference in San Antonio this spring. They motivate students, other educators, parents, and our elected officials. These are shining examples of how we can inspire the next generation of scientists, and they personally keep me enthused about my job. I'm always on the look-out for fresh inspiration, so please share with me the notable names who should be on this list!

I earn a commission for some links on this blog. Citi is a MileValue partner.
Singapore miles are fantastic for booking domestic awards on United flights. Singapore has access to all the exact same Saver award space on United flights that United miles have access to (except extra space set aside for elites), and Singapore charges fewer miles on some routes.
Singapore miles are also easier to get than United miles. Singapore miles are a 1:1 transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, AMEX Membership Rewards, and SPG Starpoints. (And 20,000 Starpoints transfers to 25,000 Singapore miles automatically as with all 1:1 SPG partners.)
Last week I needed to book myself a one way ticket from Washington-Dulles to Houston, and Singapore miles were perfect for the task.
Why Singapore Miles?
I have to fly from Washington-Dulles to Houston on a Sunday in April. I have no date flexibility. Because that's two United hubs, and they are the only carrier with a direct flight, the convenient direct flights are very expensive at $277. Even one-stop flights are $174, and I hate to connect when I don't have to.
United and Singapore charge the same amount for an economy award within the continental United States: 12,500 miles each way. Singapore is much cheaper on other awards.
- 20,000 Singapore miles vs. 25,000 United for a one way in First Class within continental US
- 17,500 Singapore miles vs. 22,500 United for a one way in economy to Hawaii
- 30,000 Singapore miles vs. 40,000 United for a one way in First Class to Hawaii
But for the award I had in mind, Singapore miles and United miles were the same price. I chose to use Singapore miles instead of United miles to use some orphan miles balances and because United miles are more versatile overall, so I'd rather save them.
I had 625 Singapore miles, 7,200 ThankYou Points, and plenty Ultimate Rewards. I was able to use almost all my Singapore miles, almost all my ThankYou Points, and just 5,000 Ultimate Rewards for the ticket.
Transferring, Searching, Booking, Timing
The timing of the aspects of a Singapore award are very important and are dictated by the fact that transfers into Singapore miles take about 36 hours. Here are the steps:
- Search for Saver space on united.com
- If found, transfer points to Singapore miles.
- Wait 24-48 hours and hope space doesn't disappear.
- Book your award with Singapore miles.
1. Searching on United.com
I headed to united.com to search from Dulles to Houston. I selected "Nonstop Flights Only" because that was my strong preference. (Don't sign in before searching. Signing in may show you extra award space Singapore miles can't access.)
Despite sky-high cash fares, the award availability on direct flights between the two hubs is wide open. There is economy award space every day and First Class space around half the days.
Here are the results for a typical day. I've highlighted the Saver Award column because that is the only space that Singapore miles can access.
Ignore the miles prices listed. Since we'll use Singapore miles, we pay the prices on Singapore's chart. In this case, that would be 12,500 miles in economy and 20,000 in First Class. Even that modest premium is not worth paying for a three-hour flight in my estimation. (The one exception is that I might pay it for First Class on the 5 PM flight. It is operated by a 767-300 with fully flat beds in First Class. You can check that out by clicking View Seats and seeing the bed icon.)
The perfect flight time had economy award space, so I noted the date, cabin, and flight number.
2. Transferring the Points
Since award space existed on my preferred flight, it was time for me to transfer my points. Transfers from all the transferable points programs take about 24-48 hours.
There is nothing you can do in the interim except hope space doesn't disappear. I was never worried because my route has so much award space.
On some routes, during some transfers, space will disappear. That stinks, but the good news is that Singapore miles are pretty valuable and have a decent number of uses, so even if your plan falls through in one instance, you can still use the Singapore miles later.
I went into my thankyou.com account and transferred 7,000 ThankYou Points to Singapore miles. ThanYou requires transfers in multiples of 1,000, so that was the most I could transfer from my account which had 7,200 points. I quickly got a confirmation email of my transfer.
Then I went to ultimaterewards.com and transferred 5,000 Ultimate Rewards to my Singapore account. I got another confirmation email.
Both of the transfers posted about 36 hours later on January 18. The date in my Singapore account reflects the transfer date, not when they actually posted.
3. Hoping Space Stays
Once the points transfers posted, I checked united.com, and Saver space was still present on the flight I wanted.
4. Booking the Ticket
I called Singapore at (213) 404-0301 to book the award. I fed the agent the date, cabin, and flight number of the flight I wanted. He priced it at 12,500 miles and 7.5 Singapore dollars ($5.60.)
I went to united.com and typed in my confirmation number from Singapore, and I was able to get my United confirmation number and select a seat on the flight.
Getting Singapore Miles
Getting Singapore miles is extremely easy now.
Citi ThankYou Points transfer 1:1 in 22-36 hours to Singapore miles. If I had all four types of points in this section, transferring ThankYou Points would be my first choice. This is the best ThankYou Points transfer partner, and the other options like redeeming the points for 1.25 cents each toward any flight aren't nearly as valuable.
To get 55,000 ThankYou Points after spending $5,000 over 15 months, start with the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card.
My Review of the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card
- Earn up to 50,000 bonus ThankYou® Points. Bonus points are redeemable for up to $500 in gift cards, up to $625 for airfare or other great rewards
- Earn 20,000 points after $2,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening
- Earn an additional 30,000 points after another $3,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of your second year of being a cardmember
- Annual Fee: $125 (fee waived for the first 12 months). On 4/19/2015, this fee will be reduced to $95 on all accounts
- Points do not expire and earn unlimited Thank You Points
- Travel with ease and enjoy chip based technology
The card also offers 3x points on dining and entertainment and 2x points on travel. (These categories flip flop on April 19.)
Application Link: Citi ThankYou® Premier Card
SPG Starpoints transfer 1:1 to Singapore miles in about a week. Like all SPG 1:1 transfer partners, for every 20,000 points transferred, you'll get 5,000 bonus miles. Try to transfer in exact 20,000 Starpoint increments to maximize this 20,000:25,000 transfer ratio.
You can earn Starpoints from the Starwood Preferred Guest personal and business credit cards from American Express.
Chase Ultimate Rewards earned from the Ink Plus and Sapphire Preferred transfer to Singapore KrisFlyer miles in a day or two. Points from the Freedom can transfer to any of those three cards' accounts and from there on to Singapore.
Ultimate Rewards are the only one of the four points that also transfer 1:1 to United miles, so people with Ultimate Rewards should definitely bookmark this post that compares awards using United and Singapore miles.
American Express Membership Rewards transfer to Singapore KrisFlyer miles in a day or two. Any Gold, Platinum, Green, EveryDay, or corporate card will earn Membership Rewards.

I am researching many families in Shelby County, Indiana. My blog, Shelby County, Indiana Ancestors is online at: http://ancestorsofshelbycountyindiana.blogspot.com/.
My Shelby County Indiana connections include Steward (Stewart), Williams (3 lines!), Imel, Rush, Terhune, Sanders, Lisher, Armstrong, Alexander, Rohm, Harrell,Dubois, and many families from the northern half of the county.
Please use the Edit button to submit any corrections or additions to my memorials.
I have encountered others on Find A Grave who seem to think it is a big numbers game. Adding so many memorials without making sure they are correct. It is greatly appreciated by everyone if the facts are correct.
If I have placed a memorial on Find A Grave and you are related, please contact me and I will be HAPPY to transfer it to you. I have placed most of these online to assist others.

RE: Katie Rush
Hi, No I'm not related in anyway. Her obit just happened to be next to one I was looking up at the Shelby Co. Genealogy Library. So before I filed it, I just thought I'd see if hers was posted too & noticed you didn't have the funeral arrangements & thought you might like to have it. I know I would have. I just love helping people out with finding their families.
Happy Hunting ! Linda

RE: DuBois Family
Hi Judith, no we are not related to the DuBois family. I took the pictures so that I could give others the chance to find this family and to provide my husband's Dermatologists a chance to search this out also. He is doing his family tree also. I did look for some census reports as I believe that their close living to my husband's family of Hughes on DuBois creek possibly connects them to the same Underground Railroad as the Hughes ran. I don't know if your people were known underground operatives as well? You will want to visit Franklin County, In and do some research there. There is a nice Genealogy section in the Library and court house records. It is possible that I missed some of the DuBois at the cemetery as we were under time constraints when we were there. I have not been back since.
I will be interested to see what you find out. The Dermatologists is Andrew M. DuBois, MD, his phone number is 812-222-0202. You could leave a message for him there.
Good luck, May Hughes

No. I am not related. Did you know that Eliza's grandson died a few days ago?
My Uncle was married, for a few years (no children), to Patricia Terhune Ford.
I actually photographed the whole cemetery a few months ago and have been slowly uploading photos... so I had already taken it. :)

RE: Grace Huffman Miller
Hi Judith, I found your request today, I don't check this message board often. My mom was 1st cousin to Catherine Huffman. I worked too worked with Catherine on the family history many years ago when I first started digging (late 60s) that is a very long time back. I often think of Catherine we had a good time looking back.
I don't think that I have much more on our Huffman line then I did then, but I will be more than happy to share what I have with you. Please check my Huffman, Miller tree on Ancestry.com

1wRusney Castillo will play in two minor-league games over the next two days before he plays with the Red Sox this weekend.
1wComments (5)A string of hot, humid days with temperatures topping 90 degrees have taken their toll on some Red Sox players, including David Ortiz.
1wComments (1)Clay Buchholz has good command of his curveball and changeup, which is why his shaky outing in the Red Sox' 11-3 loss doesn't concern him.
1wCloser Koji Uehara was slated to get an inning of work Tuesday, but the closer strained his left hamstring while doing some running drills in the morning and was held out.
1wComments (1)For the first time this spring, the Red Sox use Matt Barnes as a real reliever . . . the clearest sign yet that they see him as candidate for a big-league bullpen spot.
1wThere have been many young pitchers recently that have had to undergo Tommy John surgery. But it doesn't happen in Boston.
1wJonny Gomes has been about one thing in his career: winning. He brings that mentality he had with him in Boston to Atlanta.

troy bilt chipper
My neighbor has a 8hp electric start troy bilt chipper that she is asking $400. Not sure of build year (older). Everything seems to work o.k. Should I buy or put the $400 towards a new chipper? Thanks Fred
The dealer won't have parts but ebay does. These old Troy Bilt Tomahawks are the best bang for the buck period.
I will say that I would not pay 400.00 for one of the early ones that doesn't have the new style clutch engagement lever. The old style had the engagement lever up on the handle and was a poor design. I updated that old design to the new design back in the day but I'm not sure the conversion parts are easy to find now.
Ebay has all the common part needs covered though as far as the wear items such as belts, flails, and chipping blades.
Be aware that Troy Built no longer exists, other than the name which I think was bought by MTD. I had a Tomahawk chipper/shredder that I eventually got rid of because of the tendency towards bearing failure and the price of replacement sealed bearings. If the bearings on both ends of the main shaft are good, then $400.00 for the unit sounds about right. I made my own flails and bought after market chipper blades for about 1/3 the price of buying them through Garden Way who were the Canadian importer. They are made by LUND, the hammer knives, or flails, I made from leaf spring out of a Japanese truck. Something to be aware of also is the need to balance the four sets of hammer knives when rotating them. It only takes a few grams of weight more on one rod than the other to cause big vibration problems. I now own a Mighty Mac but, had Troy Built still been in business, I may have considered a new one of theirs.
The flails for the Troy Bilt Tomahawk are still available on ebay and the vendors are buying them from Briggs & Statton. I have seen new main drum bearings sold on ebay too and bought spares in case I ever need them. All the wear items are available so if you can find a good machine for a good price you can't go wrong.
I see many people looking for belts, bearings, etc. Think about it: why would a manufacturer require an oddball part (unless their design engineering left them no other choice), rather than use off-the-shelf standardized parts? You can start your inquiry at Applied Industrial Technologies (Applied.com). They have all sorts of bearings, belts, etc. This applies to many garden machines. Here in Bellingham, WA, we we are lucky to have an AT retail store, and they have quite a bit in stock. But even if you live in the boondocks (machinery-wise), you can search them online.

'Batman vs. Superman' Set Photos Show Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne as More Plot Details Emerge
We've already seen our fair share of 'Batman vs. Superman' set photos showing off Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, but we now have our first look at Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne! And he looks like ... Ben Affleck! With some grey in his hair! Yeah, thats not too surprising. After all, the ruggedly handsome Affleck already looks enough like a playboy millionaire and the little bit of grey just confirms what director Zack Snyder has already said: this will be an older, more tired Batman.
