One Monopoly game piece is getting evicted
By |
Posted: January 11, 2013
Every weekday, PR Daily associate editor Alan Pearcy highlights the day's most compelling stories and amusing marginalia on the Web in this, #TheDailySpin.
Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. In fact, get off the board entirely. Hasbro is
launching a worldwide vote
to determine which memorable game piece should be evicted from the classic game's boardwalk. Participants must choose between the Scottie dog, racecar, top hat, iron, shoe, thimble, battleship, or wheelbarrow, one of which will be replaced with a new token also being voted on. Contenders for that piece include a diamond ring, helicopter, cat, robot and a guitar. Cast your vote on
Monopoly's Facebook page
by Feb. 5.
Monopoly is probably considered one of McDonald's most anticipated consumer programs of the year, although the company hopes that in 2013 its customers will also welcome the reintroduction of a long-time friend: the Big Mac.
Business Insider
reports: "Those who do remember the years when the Big Mac was a pop-culture colossus —'two all-beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun!'— are older than McD's core demographic."
Overseas, the Golden Arches will focus on an even more youthful demographic: kids. McDonald's U.K. will swap out toys in its Happy Meals in favor of non-fiction books as a part of its "Happy Readers" program. According to
Marketing Week
, the initiative—in partnership with the National Literacy Trust—was piloted last year. Naturally, it drew criticism for marketing to children at a time of such widespread childhood obesity.
McDonald's and other fast food restaurants that employ drive-thru staff should be on the lookout for the latest hoax. From the brainchild of self-described "magician prankster" Magic of Rahat, here's
a trick
you won't see coming:
Although I doubt it's on McDonald's list of books to hand out, Julia Dawn Cole—best known as the spoiled brat Veruca Salt from the 1971 film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"—has
written a memoir
about the goings-on behind the scenes of the classic movie. "I Want it Now!" is available on
, well, now.
Meanwhile, the struggling writer is a regular on film. From Jack Nicholson's portrayal of Jack Torrance in "The Shining" to Bradley Cooper as Eddie Morra in "Limitless,"
Word & Film
highlights nine noteworthy scribes from the silver screen.
Bradley Cooper also plays an author in 2012's "The Words," but it was his role in "Silver Lining's Playbook" that landed him a 2013 Oscar nod for Actor in a Leading Role when the
Academy Award nominees
were announced on Thursday morning. So who got snubbed?
gives its take, but what do you think?
also reminds movie audiences to vote for this year's 33rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards (the
), which were announced on Wednesday. Leading the pack with 11 nominations, including Worst Picture, is "Breaking Dawn Part 2."
No matter which nominees take home trophies at Sunday's Golden Globes, cohosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were kind enough to suggest a "dangerous"
drinking game
for those watching the telecast at home.
For only the second time in four decades, not a single one of the players nominated for entry into baseball's Hall of Fame were elected,
's Summer Anne Burton explains why voting members of the Baseball Writers Association were wrong.
Hall of Famer Babe Ruth unintentionally got it right, at least according to
The Buzz
, where Mike Schaffer suggests that a quote by the Great Bambino adequately sums up the evolution of social media: "Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games." Essentially, marketers mustn't rest on their laurels, as the technology and standards of today won't necessarily carry over tomorrow.
Speaking of social media, Facebook invited reporters and bloggers to "come see what we're building" at a
press event next Tuesday
at its headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.
Any blogger in attendance will need to be on his or her game that day to get a good scoop, meaning a healthy breakfast is most likely essential. Nevertheless,
insinuates that there are a number of to-dos bloggers should cross off their lists before they even think about pouring that bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Is there something you think we should include in our next edition of #TheDailySpin? Tweet me
with your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

As an international firm, diversity is a crucial aspect of the firm's business. Clyde & Co is proud to have created a working environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive and is committed to treating all employees, prospective and existing, equally.
2013 saw Clyde & Co open offices in Madrid, Beijing and Atlanta, as well as enter into a formal association with Indonesian law firm Lubis Ganie Surowidjojo and enter into joint ventures with Singapore law firm Classis LLC and Chongqing law firm Westlink Partnership.

We hire the best people in our chosen core sectors – genuine specialists. This combination of sector expertise and legal excellence allows us to provide the most innovative and commercial solutions to our clients.
Sector specialists
Our long history of advising the world's insurance markets has taken us far beyond the insurance sector and into the many facets of international trade. Today, our strategic aim is to be the best and most complete provider of legal services to businesses engaged in our core sectors – trade and commodities, energy, infrastructure, transportation and insurance.
As patterns of global trade have shifted, we have actively invested in our international network to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We invest for the long term and have always been early movers into key hubs of international commerce – as demonstrated by our offices and associate offices in Mongolia, Libya, Indonesia and Tanzania. Mirroring our clients across the spread of their operations we view the world from their perspective, fully aware of their ambitions and mindful of the commercial realities of their markets.
Legal expertise
Clyde & Co's reputation in disputes, and particularly international cross-border disputes, is outstanding. We have the largest dispute resolution practice of any UK law firm and with our international spread we have become specialists in international arbitration in both developed forum and emerging market centres. We have a significant US and Canadian trial capability; a specialisation in financial institutions, shareholder and other commercial disputes; as well as deep experience of bilateral treaty disputes.
We are specialists in assisting businesses when they enter, operate and grow in emerging markets, helping them access capital and transact in the world's capital markets. The firm has one of the largest dedicated global corporate practices based in New York, London, Dubai, Hong Kong and Shanghai. Our commercial team has a particular focus on IP, franchising, technology and outsourcing. We also have one of the largest employment practices of any City law firm, and have dedicated employment expertise across our entire international network.
Infrastructure: With over 20 projects and construction partners we provide a global offering. This exceptionally strong and diversified infrastructure group acts as global construction counsel across the world's jurisdictions operating in both front and back-end matters across all infrastructure classes.
Energy: Our clients are often working in frontier markets, dealing with complex multi-jurisdictional, cross-border transactions and disputes. Clyde & Co has one of the few legal teams with a 100 per cent focus on oil and gas; this group works across all areas including oil and gas exploration and production (E&P), upstream and downstream projects and their related infrastructure. Supported by a wider group with extensive experience in the oil and gas sector, the group operates across all legal disciplines including specialised areas such as employment, HSE, regulatory and compliance, insurance, trading and derivatives.
Trade & Commodities: Recognised as market leaders in the commodities sector, our dedicated team works across the full range of the commodity markets – hard and soft commodities, oil and energy, futures and derivatives, and the newer specialisations such as carbon trading. In addition to standard trading matters, we also advise on hedging, freight trading/freight derivatives and risk management and on sovereign immunity issues, sanctions, bilateral investment treaties and WTO regulations.
Transportation: We have substantial specialist teams focused on providing both transactional and contentious advice on all aspects of transportation logistics across land, sea and air. We have been named Global Aviation Law Firm of the Year for the past eight years (2005 to 2013).

In disputes the group was the top listed firm for reported cases in Lloyds Law List 2013, and is recognised at one of the largest users of the LCIA by the LCIA. Our expertise is global with our Middle Eastern team recently being voted as the 2014 Maritime Firm of the Year by Trade and Export Middle East.
Insurance: Clyde & Co is recognised as the leading global insurance law firm. While many major law firms have downplayed their focus on insurance, Clyde & Co has taken the opposite path and continues to expand its global and business line coverage. We have structured our business around the needs of the industry, with specialist teams to match every line of insurance business. We are able to provide insurers with the highest-quality commercial advice from the leading practitioners in the market. Our reputation, together with the primacy we offer insurers, enables us to attract insurance lawyers of the highest quality in each jurisdiction in which we operate.

Witness the Changing of the Guard in royal London
A cosmopolitan city, London is an epicenter of global finance and politics where cultures intertwine, neighborhoods hold secrets whispered through time, and famous events like London Fashion Week take place on an annual basis. The metropolitan area draws millions of visitors each year to attractions such as the Houses of Parliament, which features the 16-story clock tower Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. Set on the banks of the River Thames, London offers a fantastic mix of history, food, shopping and museums. The pageantry of the Changing of the Guard and Trooping the Colour create spectacles adored by all, while modern marvels include one of the world's biggest observation wheels.
Things to see and do
Cultural attractions
Exhibits at institutions such as the Royal Museum, the National Gallery, and the Imperial War Museum provide insightful perspectives of the country. From the First World War Galleries to the history of "Jack the Ripper", and artworks dating back to medieval times, enjoy a window on the past by visiting any of these attractions.
City buildings that have stood for hundreds of years include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Royal Albert Hall where you can catch a concert in the evenings. The Tower of London is guarded by the legendary Beefeaters, while inside the diamond-studded Crown Jewels glitter for guests throughout the day.
Stroll along historic footpaths in colorful Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, or enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the city from atop the London Eye.
London' districts are attractions in their own right, and if you take a trip through the East End you will discover the setting for numerous films and television shows. View the ancient street layout and medieval churches in The City, the earliest Roman settlement, or visit Greenwich, home of the Prime Meridian. The Leicester Square neighborhood houses famous Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, and city tours are a great way to scale the geography of sprawling London.
Shopping and dining
Power shoppers will discover the haute couture boutiques and trendy designer stores of Knightsbridge, Bond Street and Covent Garden, as well as Oxford and Regent Streets. In addition to high-end clothes, you can also find vintage apparel in quirky local establishments.
Once known for its ubiquitous fish and chips, bangers and mash, and even eels, London has since emerged as a center of gastronomic delights. This melting pot of cultures creates a restaurant scene that thrives on fusion and international cuisine. Foodies can enjoy high tea and Anglo-Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, Turkish kebabs and Mexican-style burritos.
Nightlife and entertainment
When the sun sets after a day of sightseeing, guests can visit local pubs and live music venues featuring internationally-acclaimed DJs and bands. Tracing its origins to Shakespeare, London's West End Theatre district presents musicals and plays starring famous actors from screen and stage. You can also enjoy performances in the Opera House, where the Royal Symphony, Opera and Ballet companies are showcased.
This English capital hosts a series of yearly celebrations that include Wimbledon and other major sporting events, the Notting Hill Carnival, the Lord Mayor's Show and the Totally Thames Festival.
Best time to visit
Spring is one of the best times to visit London. In addition to mild temperatures, the city's parks and gardens begin to bloom. Humidity levels tend to be higher in the summer months, but those looking to sample strawberries and cream, or Pimm's at the tennis should book a stay in late June or early July.
Travel and hotels are more likely to be reasonably priced and readily available in the fall and winter monthsalthough visitors should be aware that London is popular for Christmas gift shopping in December.
Where to stay
From Bayswater and Paddington to Knightsbridge, the West End and Camden, the neighborhood where you choose to vacation in London will depend very much upon what you want to do on your trip. Historic hotels like Flemings Mayfairthe second oldest in the capitalhave a Georgian flair that harks back to the days when carriages rolled through the streets while contemporary accommodations include the K West and the Apex. Prices range quite dramatically, so it's best to search around online before you go.
Travel information
Visitors can reach London through one of six airports, including Gatwick (LGW), Heathrow (LHR) and Stansted (STN). Traveling between these aviation gateways and London's major attractions is easy due to the city's comprehensive public transportation network. Options include the iconic red double-decker buses, Docklands Light Railway and the Underground, as well as Thames River commuter boats and pleasure cruises. Consider using an Oyster Card, a contactless smartcard, instead of individual paper tickets, to save time and money. Another option for traveling within the English city is taking one of London's world-famous black cabs.

Signing up with a record company is a big deal for a band like ours. What with day jobs, kids, and life's other pressures around us, knowing that we have deadlines to meet and more partners to please is for us a pretty important thing to weigh and balance. But in the end, sharing the music is why do we this and we are so pleased that Mountain Fever Records wants to help us do that. So we welcome the partnership and are excited that it already is bearing fruit: our single, Too Blue to Have the Blues, a collaboration between our Jeff Rose and Bluegrasstoday.com's Terry Herd, went live on iTunes today and, we hope, on a radio station near you or your computer. So, having signed on the dotted line, we've taken the plunge! Let us know what you think.

Conservative group One Million Moms resurrected its fight against JC Penney's this week, slamming the retailer again for using Ellen DeGeneres in holiday ads. But just as quickly as the organization raised its protest flag, it lowered it again.
"A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves," the group posted on its website Tuesday, according to NBC's Today show. "JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again. Christians must now vote with their wallets."
Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed/canceled?
The organization has called on its followers to boycott JC Penney's since February, accusing the retail chain of jumping on the "pro-gay bandwagon" by hiring DeGeneres.
But by Friday afternoon, the post had been taken down.
On Thursday, OMM Director Monica Cole told The Christian Post, "We're not taking action, we're moving on. We've already contacted the company."
Cole added that the organization's problem was not with the content of the ad, which features DeGeneres making cheesy size puns while sitting at a table with a group of elves, but rather "the agenda behind it."
JC Penney and DeGeneres have not commented.Watch the ad below.

Economic Development & Security
Compared to men, women spend a disproportionate amount of time attending to the needs of children and adults under their care.. Because of caregiving demands, more than half of employed women caregivers have made special workplace arrangements, such as arriving late, leaving early or working fewer hours. Women represent 61 percent of all caregivers and 75 percent of caregivers who report feeling very strained emotionally, physically or financially by such responsibilities. Minor-aged women and girls also shoulder caregiving duties, usually unrecognized and uncompensated. Affordable, accessible, quality child care and elder care, as well as greater delegation of responsibilities to spouses and partners, are required to offset the overwhelming care loads within families and communities.

The U.K. hit premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Courtyard Theatre in November 2010 and later transferred to the West End's Cambridge Theatre, where it continues to run. The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Dodgers present the Broadway run.
The musical has a book by Dennis Kelly and a score by Tim Minchin. Tony Award-winning director Matthew Warchus (God of Carnage, The Norman Conquests, Boeing-Boeing, La Bête, Ghost) directs. It will officially open April 11.
In addition to Carvel, who earned raves from London critics for his work as Miss Trunchbull, the Broadway cast also stars young actresses Sophia Gennusa, Oona Laurence, Bailey Ryon and Milly Shapiro, who share the title role.
The Broadway principal company also features Olivier Award winner Lesli Margherita (Zorro; Kiss, Me Kate) as Miss Wormwood, Gabriel Ebert (4000 Miles) as Mr. Wormwood, original London cast member Lauren Ward (Follies, Violet) as Miss Honey and veteran Chicago actress Karen Aldridge ("Boss," "Chicago Fire") as Mrs. Phelps. Young British actor Ted Wilson from the original London cast of Matilda repeats his work as schoolmate Eric in the Broadway production.
According to producers, Matilda "is the story of an extraordinary little girl who decides that despite a bad beginning filled with rotten parents, a terrifying school and a vicious head mistress, her story is going to be an astonishing one. With the help of her teacher, her friends and a little bit of imagination, Matilda proves that even if you're little, you can do big things."
The production has set and costume design by Rob Howell, with choreography by Peter Darling, orchestrations, additional music and musical supervision by Christopher Nightingale, lighting design by Hugh Vanstone and sound design by Simon Baker.
An original London cast album preserves the infectious score. Matilda earned seven 2012 Olivier Awards including Best Musical and Best Director, as well as Best Actress (for the four young girls who share the titular role).
For tickets go to Telecharge.com. The Shubert Theatre is located at 235 West 44th Street.

Mexican Marina Crackdown, and the Ripple Effect
On November 29, 2013, more than 100 local bureaucrats swooped down on 12 marinas in Mexico to conduct surprise compliance checks on 1,647 boats. Apparently, the newly created General Audit of Foreign Trade Administration wanted to confirm that every boat was following protocol by carrying a Temporary Importation Permit (TIP). They also wanted to check and make sure various other boat data, including the type, make and model, the engine serial number, the hull number and the Hull Identification Number were accurate. Ultimately, the officials—who reportedly brought along contingents of armed marines for their inspections—found 338 boats to be noncompliant (including many without anyone on board) and impounded them. As of this week, nearly three months later, 90 percent of those boats are still being held.
Perhaps the most enraging aspect of the fiasco is that many of the impounded boats are, as it turns out, compliant. Many impounded boats had TIPs, but did not have skippers on board when the officials arrived, and were therefore unable to show their paperwork. Even if they hadn't had updated paperwork, Mexican law states that once sailors learn they are required to have a TIP, they have 20 days to attain one. Yet, upon learning of their oversight, Mexican officials said they could still require between 45 and 120 days to liberate the boats from impoundment.
For sailors with boats stuck in Mexico, the situation is unfortunate. But for Mexico and its tourism economy, the ripples caused by their legal actions may be even less fortunate as both the cruising and racing communities react.
For sailors who frequently visit Mexico, a dark cloud has been cast over their favorite vacation spot. For racers who participate in regattas between the United States and Mexico, plans are changing. The Corona del Mar to Cabo Race, for example, has been postponed because there were only four entries. The Newport to Ensenada Race, which used to bring in over 600 boats, now has only about 100 entries. The San Diego to Puerto Vallarta Race is still on, but with fewer than 40 boats entered, and the San Diego Cabillo Ocean Series has altered its layout, moving all of the courses out of Mexican waters. (To be fair, factors like a struggling economy play into these low entry numbers, but the Mexican government certainly isn't helping itself.)
On the country's east coast, where no boats have been impounded though the laws are technically the same, sailing tourism has not been as badly affected. The Regata del Sol al Sol, from St. Petersburg, Florida, to Isla de Mujeres is still set for April 25, 2014, and registration is filling up. The regatta chairman is also sending periodic updates to skippers, keeping them in the know about the situation, and cluing them in on ways in which they can successfully adhere to customs laws and avoid fines or impoundment.
If, after all this, you're still itching to visit Mexico, here's how to keep your boat the hands of that country's occasionally overzealous bureaucrats: First, know that the TIP requirement is not new: it's just newly being enforced. Whether you're entering from the West or East Coast, check into customs as soon as you can (Ensenada on the west coast, Isla Mujeres on the east coast), and work with marina management to get an immigration permit ($25), Document of Arrival (Free) and Temporary Import Permit ($50). It would be wise to have a Spanish-speaking member on board for these procedures. Other than that, realize you're taking a risk. For Mexico's sake, let's hope foreign sailors still believe cruising there is a risk worth taking.

Temporary Boat Import Crackdown
First, Dealing with the facts....If correct only 20% of the boats inspected were placed in (temporary) impound for being out of compliance or compliance to existing procedures could not be determined (Owner absence). Military personnel, with long guns, were present during the inspection proceedings. The number of boats impounded is not great. These boats were placed in temporary impound, not seized. Temporary impound allows the owners to demostrate or begin proceedings to come into compliance. It should be noted that the Mexico legal system follows Napoleanic law, not English law. the differance is "GUILTY until proven innocent". (Go to France if you want to check it out). If 80% of the boats were in compliance, these events do not hint of "revenue enhancement" on a large scale. In the past the EU had a similar problem until the temporary importation of vessels was harmonized. Pleasure yachts did not know if they had to pay VAT from one EU country to another. The presence of military personnel: Considering the opportunity to transport or sell illegal drugs and illegal arms via seagoing craft, it is prudent to have sufficiently armed personnel present. Other articles reporting the inspections indicated everyone was polite and non threatening. Although this article is directed to the sailing community, the inspections involved many more power boats.

San Carlos Marina
The Mexican official have done the same thing that the US Coast guard or any US goverment agency would have done.
The rules are simple and whoever is there should be fined as they would be in the US.
Its cheap and they are happy to have you in the country as I have for many years.
The Marina San Carlos acually heped the owners to file asap to have their boats in compliance.
For the sailors that dropped out of the race your giving mexico a bad rap because of your ignorance.
Mexico on the Sea of Cortez is still incredible and super fun

This is a sad situation
This is a sad situation especially for those whose boats have been impounded. But perhaps we should remember the unfortunate treatment that legal immigrants sometimes receive from US Immigration bureaucrats before we start name calling. Would that the world were more perfect.

Mexican Marina Crackdown, and the Ripple Effect
I have my Wauquiez Pretorien in OPEQUIMAR, Puerto Vallarta where 16 boats similarily impounded over the peak Christmas-New Year period were subsequently released having all papers in order. Each of us now have to pay some US$700 for our share in OPEQUIMAR's costs incurred in defending the vessels in their professional care for which of course we already pay a monthly dry or wet storage fee. The actions of the authorities were crass, incompetent and entirely arbitrary.
This is but one example of an otherwise beautiful country's incompetence in legal matters of all types. There is no redress and you always have to foot the bill for clearing up intended or unintended unjustified actions of poorly trained authorities.

I do not doubt your
I do not doubt your experience. But, my one experience with the Mexican legal system was positive. I was jailed, had an administrative hearing and was found guilty. (Plea bargain..I did not want to spend time in prison waiting for trial, plus the cost of legal fees) I was treated politely,I was never handcuffed, was never searched...gave up my possessions voluntarily...was fed twice..substantial food but absolutely tasteless...my holding cell was cleaned by an orderly. A translator and lawyer were provided free of charge and the American Embassy was in constant contact with me. What I want to emphasize is that not at any time was there a hint of mordida. There was no fine or court cost levied. All of this took ten hours. This experience was so good I never want to do it again, because it may not be the same again. And by the way, I have been issued a Residente Temporal visa three times, even with a local background check.

It is hard to believe that with the booming mexican economy these idiots are running off thousands of US dollars in revenue.
I for one will avoid entering Mexicn waters, taking my personal and charter guests to other more friendly ports of call.
The aggrivation factor has exceeded any rewards derived from visiting any Mexican destination.

redicules score for V/T
redicules score for V/T
139 ? really ? Oh, well... not really surprising.
This is a major understatement, to put it politely. From Plush's solo Triple Lutz not preceding by connecting steps not getting deducted to this outrageous score for V/T in an error filled routine, the European Championship ought to consider a name change to "European National Championship".
Aliona SAVCHENKO / Robin SZOLKOWY (GER)
Music: Flamenco Bolero by Gustavo Montesano
3FTh - big!
FCCoSp - unison off
3FTw - bit low catch
3S - she falls, he doubles
3STh - good
Solid skate, some big mistakes, so I don't think it is enough to get gold.
Total: 205.24 (SB)

I'd say this should lead if it wasn't for the fall, but now I'm not sure, especially taking into account the judges' love of V/T.
I dont know if I like this program.. It was a bit.. weird. Costumes included.
Would have been 136 with no deduction, I still think that was a bit of a lowball compared to V/T's score. Tatiana did put her hand down on one of her throws.
I don't care that Russians are first. I prefer S/S program and I think they were better even with a fall.
I need to see the protocol but S/S side-by-side spin was poor, did not deserve positive GOE. Could also have picked up a point if that was better, and if she hadn't fallen they'd probably have picked up another point separate from not getting the deduction.
However, there is no denying the judges have somehow fallen in love with V/T.
and double footed one of the throws. OMG the costumes. Distracting. One of the few felt performances of the competition though.
It's extremely, extremely frustrating how Volosozhar/Trankov can skate an empty program where they mostly stroke from one element to another and not really pay much attention to the music and get 9s whilst Savchenko/Szolkowy show an extremely complex routine where pretty much everything is connected with transitions to get almost 2 points less on the PCS. Seriously, this is just ridiculous. Why even bother?

Coming soon to a screen near you — the Plumas County Board of Supervisors
Forget climbing three flights of stairs — Plumas County residents will soon be able to view the Board of Supervisors proceedings from the comfort of their own couches.
Beginning sometime in January, the board meetings will be streamed live, as well as archived for future viewing on the county's website.
Initially a camera will be mounted in the ceiling and angled toward the supervisors, but Dave Preston, the county's information technology manager, said a second camera could be added to focus on the audience.
Supervisor Sherrie Thrall, who pressed for the live streaming and is even paying for the camera, likes the plan to mount it on the ceiling because it would be "less disruptive."
Faster Internet
Preston told the supervisors that the fiber optic upgrade for the county's Internet "should be active in the next week or so."
Plumas-Sierra Telecommunications has completed installation at the health and human services building near the college, and the mental health department is scheduled to be the first to go live.
In response to a question from Supervisor Jon Kennedy, Preston said that Plumas-Sierra will be the county's new Internet service provider, replacing AT&T. But for a while, the two will run concurrently.
New road crew leader
Public Works Director Bob Perreault introduced Janice Thomas to the Board of Supervisors.
Thomas is the new road maintenance supervisor for the Quincy area, where she will supervise a 10-member crew, as well as seasonal employees. It's the largest maintenance crew in the department.
Thomas told the supervisors that she had no idea when she first started working for the road department that it would become her profession.
"I learned how to change oil at Quincy High School from Mr. Swofford," she said. Board chairman Terry Swofford taught auto shop at the high school for many years.
Supervisor Lori Simpson told Perreault that she appreciated his introduction of employees to the board and encouraged other department heads to do the same.
Grant funds accepted
The supervisors voted unanimously and swiftly to accept $8,659 from the Pacific Forest & Lands Stewardship Council to study the feasibility of building a trail at Bucks Lake. The county will contract with the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship to complete the study.
Another role
The supervisors appointed Mental Health Director Peter Livingston to serve on the executive committee of the county's Community Corrections Partnership.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Surgery for an Achilles Tendon Rupture
There are two types of surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon:
In both types of surgery, the surgeon sews the tendon back together through the incision(s). Surgery may be delayed for about a week after the rupture, to let the swelling go down.
After either type of surgery, you will likely wear a cast, walking boot, or similar device for 6 to 12 weeks. At first, the cast or boot is positioned to keep the foot pointed downward as the tendon heals. The cast or boot is then adjusted gradually to put the foot in a neutral position (not pointing up or down). Many health professionals recommend starting movement and weight-bearing exercises early, before the cast or boot comes off. Your total recovery time will probably be as long as 6 months.
This surgery is done to repair an Achilles tendon that has been torn into two pieces.
Both open and percutaneous surgeries are successful. More than 80 out of 100 people who have surgery for an Achilles tendon rupture are able to return to all the activities they did before the injury, including returning to sports.1
It is sometimes difficult to know how surgeries compare, because the ages and activities of those having the surgeries differ. The success of your surgery can depend on your surgeon's experience, the type of surgical procedure used, the extent of tendon damage, how soon after rupture the surgery is done, and how soon your rehabilitation program starts after surgery and how well you follow it.
Talk to your surgeon about his or her surgical experience and success rate with the technique that would best treat your condition.
The risks of Achilles tendon surgery include:
Infection is possible with any surgery, but it may be more common with open surgery than with percutaneous surgery. The small risk of other complications is about the same with either open or percutaneous surgery. And most problems go away over time. These complications include pain, delayed wound healing, nerve damage, and problems with scarring.1
An Achilles tendon rupture is usually treated with surgery or with a cast, splint, brace, or other device that will keep your lower leg from moving (immobilization). When compared with immobilization, surgery provides less chance that the tendon will rupture again and offers a shorter recovery period. There is greater risk for wound complications in surgery, though.

Travelling to Lizard Island
Flying is the only option for getting to Lizard Island. The fortnightly supply barge does not carry passengers.
Scheduled flights
Lizard Island is accessed by one or more daily scheduled flights from Cairns, Queensland, by light aircraft. The flight takes about one hour. Check here for the fare. Hinterland Aviation operates the scheduled service under charter to Delaware North, the company that runs the Lizard Island Resort. Delaware North charges different fares for resort guests and others. The company generously offers the resort rate to Research Station visitors. Be sure to mention that you are staying at the Research Station when you book your flight.
Bookings are made through Delaware North:
- Phone: 1300 233 432 or +61 3 9413 6288
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Fax: +61 (0)3 9429 3992
A credit card authorisation form must be emailed or faxed to Delaware North to confirm flight bookings.
Please note that Delaware North does not allow any changes to be made within 7 days of the booked flight. If the date has to be changed within that period, a whole new fare must be paid. Changes can be made without penalty outside the 7-day period.
The Hinterland terminal is at General Aviation, Cairns Airport, which is on the opposite side of the runway from the international and domestic terminals - about a 10 minute drive. To transfer between terminals, you will need to take a taxi at a cost of about A$15.
Baggage limit
Baggage on the scheduled flight is strictly limited to 32 kg per person, including all carry-on baggage.
We have been asked by Hinterland to ensure that Research Station visitors do not present at check-in with large, unsquashable containers such as Nally bins. Containers that are larger in any dimension than a large suitcase do NOT fit into the lockers on some of the aircraft. Dive gear and other bulky equipment must be sent ahead by barge. For the flight, several small bags are better than one huge bag.
Transfers between airstrip and Research Station
On arrival at Lizard Island, you will be met and transferred to the Research Station by vehicle. Please advise the arrival time of your flight so we know when to expect you.
Chartering aircraft
Charter flights generally cost more per person than the scheduled flight. Groups of more than 12 people who want to travel together must charter a flight because the scheduled flight does not have sufficient capacity. If you do charter a flight, advise the Research Station of the company and the expected time of arrival and departure as soon as you know these details.
Several charter companies operate from Cairns. When obtaining quotes:
- Ensure that the quote includes the landing fee at Lizard Island, which is charged per aircraft per landing. Visitors to the Research Station are not exempt from the landing fee. The operators in Cairns do not uniformly include this fee in their quotes, so make sure it is specified.
- Find out the baggage allowance for the quoted aircraft. Either stick to that allowance or arrange for more capacity.

text: There are no translations available. Homeopathic Materia Medica by DunhamTHE ART AND MODE OF PRESCRIBING( )The spirit of homeopathic practice requiring the administration of a single remedy at a time, there is no room for the compounding of drugs in prescriptions. When it is required to order a dose of any quantity of a remedy from a pharmaceutist, it suffices to inscribe the name of the drug and to add in plain English the form in which it is desired, with the potency and the quantity. Nevertheless, the venerable antiquity of the art of rightly marshaling drugs in the serried ranks of a complex prescription, demands a passing notice at our hands. The writing of a prescription involves two things: 1. That we know what drugs we desire to associate together, and in what relative quantities. 2. That we know how to express our desires in the terms of the art. The first demands scientific knowledge of a high order, embracing a full acquaintance with the chemical and physiological actions and reactions of drugs. The second requires an acquaintance with the language in which prescriptions are written (generally, but not necessarily, the Latin), and with the symbols of the apothecary. It is not a matter of indifference what drugs are mixed in a prescription. Drugs of which the united or joint action might seem desirable, may yet be chemically incompatible in such way that through their mutual action a third and altogether different substance may be formed. This third substance may be simply inelegant and inert, or it may be noxious and poisonous. Of the former we have an example in the following prescription : R. Tinct. Ferri chloridi f|ss. Quiniae sulphatis gr. xx. Syrupi rosae Gallicae f§ijss. Misce. Signa. Sumat seger cochleae magnum quaque hora in apyrexiam. By the action of the iron upon the tannic acid of the roses ink is formed and a precipitate occurs. The object of adding the syrup of roses, viz., to give a fine color, is completely frustrated by the addition of the iron. But this is not noxious, though inelegant. Again, the incompatibility may spring from the tendency of the ingredients to form a noxious product, as in the following effervescent draught, which has twice, in New York, caused instant death : R Sodae Bicarbonatis gr. xx. Potassii Cyanidi gr. iv. Aquae destillatae f 3 ijss. Solve. Deinde adde— Succi limonis recentis f3j. Misce. et bibat aeger, mistura effervescente. In this case the citric acid decomposes the cyanide of potassium, and hydrocyanic acid is formed as the draught is taken. It proves fatal. Again, the incompatibility may come from the ingredients being physiological antidotes, E. G., morphine and strychnine. R Morphiae acetatis gr. viij. Strychniae sulphatis, gr. ij. Panis q. s. Fiant pillulae minimae quadriginta. It is probable that these pills might be taken freely without the physiological effect of either of these powerful alkaloids being experienced, because they antidote each other. It is requisite, therefore, for success, in writing prescriptions, that one know the chemical and physiological properties and relations of drugs. Again, it has been found by experience that certain combinations of drugs possess properties not known to be possessed by any of the ingredients. The Dover's powder, or pulvis ipecacuanhas composita, is an example of this. Such knowledge is hit upon by chance, and is a matter of memory. Presupposing the possession of knowledge to select the drugs suitable to be associated in a prescription, the form of composition of the prescription is merely technical. It may be done as well in English as in Latin. The following is an instance of a correct and quite harmless prescription: Carminative for an infant. R Cretae praeparatae. Sacchari albi aa3j. Acacias pulveris "% ij. Aquae cinnamoni f§iv. Misce. Signa. Sumat cochlear parvum bis vel ter die, pro re nata. As an example, at one and the same time, of the mode of writing prescriptions, and of the pedantic and nonsensically stilted language and manner in which simple and familiar beverages are sometimes ordered, let the following serve: Agreeable refrigerant. R Succi limonis recentis - Corticis limonis recentis magnopera tenuis 3ss. Sacchari albi %'W. Aquae Crotonis glacialis Oiij. Misce. Cola. Divide in amicis. Sumat quisque quantum ilibet. Or the following: Haustus stimulans calorifaciens et roborifaciens. R Spiritus frumenti Borbonica f^iv. Aquae bullientis Oij. Succi limonis recentis ffiss. Corticis limonis recentis magnopera tenuis 3ss. Sacchari albi fiv. Infusi these sinensis 3 ij. Misce. Teneatur mistura calleda. Divide in poculis octo. Suraat quisque amicus unum in animum oblectandum. The whole art of prescribing consists first in knowing exactly what you want to give the patient, and in what doses; and then in writing your directions so clearly and intelligibly that the apothecary may fully understand you. Homeopathic Pharmacy and PosologyThe preparation of drugs in the homeopathic pharmacy is simple. We have: 1. Triturations. 2. Tinctures. From each of these forms preparations are made, called, indifferently, DIHDIONS, ATTENUATIONS or POTENCIES. Metals, chemical salts and some dry vegetable substances are prepared by trituration with an inert substance, such as milk sugar, which is especially suitable from the hardness and sharpness of its crystals, and from its non-hygrometric properties. Vegetable substances that are prepared in the form of TINCTURES may be divided, according to their mode of preparation, into three classes. 1. Roots, barks and leaves that are dry. These are coarsely powdered, and a tincture is prepared by the process of percolation. 2. Plants which contain a large quantity of juice. These are bruised, mixed with an equal weight of alcohol, the mixture kept in a cool, dark place for a day or two, and then subjected to pressure and filtered. 3. Plants which contain but a small quantity of juice are bruised, mixed with double their weight of alcohol, and then treated as class No. 1. The alcohol and milk sugar used must be carefully purified. The attenuations, dilutions or potencies (as they are variously called) are prepared by triturating the preparation obtained as above with milk sugar, or by mixing them with alcohol, according to one of two different scales, known as the decimal and centesimal, respectively. Thus, if one grain of metallic gold be triturated with one hundred grains of milk sugar, this forms the first centesimal trituration. A grain of this first trituration, triturated again with one hundred grains of milk sugar, forms the second centesimal trituration; and so on. If with ten grains instead of one hundred, they are the first and second decimal triturations. With alcohol instead of milk sugar they are dilutions or attenuations ; all are called potencies. These attenuations or potencies have been carried to very high numbers. In the way I have described, I know them to have been carried to the two hundredth ; of higher, prepared positively in this way, I have no personal knowledge.
