BikePortland Bookstore open for business
Hey all, check out our new bookstore at http://www.bikeportland.org/books for a bunch of biking and planning book ideas.
Besides being a resource for books you might like, our bookstore is also a portal to Powell's, with whom we have a partnership -- every book, movie, t-shirt, etc you buy (even ones not in our bookstore) during a visit to the Powell's web site that originates from our links earns us a commission that will go straight to helping us improve BikePortland's content and features. By the way, I'm adding every book I see discussed here to a list for possible future inclusion, so keep the ideas coming! And feel free to get in touch personally if you have any suggestions. |
BikePortland Bookstore: Partner ID (PID)
I just got turned on to the BikePortland.org "bookstore" by Todd B's comment in the "Woman arrested..." thread. I poked around a bit and found the book he mentioned, and then I started wondering about how Powells.com knows to credit BikePortland with the sale, and especially how they know to credit referrals for purchases which aren't linked directly from BikePortland's page. It turns out (unsurprisingly) that there is a code embedded in the URL which identifies BikePortland as the referring "partner." For BikePortland to get its credit, the URL of the Powells.com page where the buyer clicks "ADD TO CART" must contain that partner ID number (PID).
Now, apologies in advance that this gets a tiny bit geeky, or for explaining too much if you know it already, but I'd like BikePortland to get its due, so the easiest way for me to explain it is with an example. Here's the book I was looking for and its link as found on http://www.bikeportland.org/books: Bicycling and the Law: Your Rights as a Cyclist by Bob Mionske http://www.powells.com/partner/33501.../9781931382991 It turns out that "33501" is BikePortland's PID, and "9781931382991" is the ISBN13 number which identifies the book. Every book has an ISBN (well, almost every; close enough for this purpose). I have not checked how Powell's identify DVDs or other media, but I expect it's similar. Anyway, those are the two pieces of info you need to give a credit to BikePortland when add a book to your shopping cart and buy it. Powells.com's webserver redirects that URL to the actual location of that book's description, here: http://www.powells.com/biblio/9781931382991?&PID=33501 See those same two numbers, just rearranged. Adding that book to your shopping cart from that page will give a credit to BikePortland based on that PID code. But then, if you start surfing around www.powells.com from there, using the Search function or various links provided by Powell's, maybe adding books into your shopping cart for purchase, note that the resulting description pages don't contain that "PID" code. I could be wrong but I doubt it, but when you follow the shopping cart link to purchase one of those other books, you aren't giving BikePortland credit for the sale. If you want to give BikePortland credit for the referral, then be sure to add this string to the end of of the book description URL, just before you click "ADD TO CART": ?&PID=33501 Copy that string and paste it on the end of the URL before you click "ADD TO CART". You can do that right in the address bar of your browser. Let's take another example to illustrate that. I searched for "Dr. Seuss" in Powells.com main search form and it turned up a bunch of Dr. Seuss books. I clicked on the link for The Cat in the Hat and got to the description page at this URL: http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-9780394800011-8 I can then add the PID and get this URL: http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-978...1-8?&PID=33501 And then, when I buy The Cat in the Hat by clicking "ADD TO CART" from that page, BikePortland should get their partner's cut from my purchase. If I'm wrong about how Powell's treats those PID URLs and referals (maybe they give credit for the entire order if any one of the books in the shopping cart contains the PID?) or if this is in some other way unhelpful, please feel free to correct me. Otherwise, render unto BP... |
Alan, I'm sure the referral ID just gets stored to the session after the initial click. I doubt you need to add it to any subsequent URLs.
Edit: And in case you are interested in the technical explanation: A lot of web sites, and probably most e-commerce web sites, keep track of your session using cookies. Often there will be an encrypted session variable which will either contain encrypted data, or more likely, an encrypted ID which is used server-side. The encryped ID might point to a row in a sessions table in a database. So, in one possible scenario, when you first visit the powells.com, it creates an entry in a session table on a database with an ID #, and associates it with your pid #, along with other information. The session id # is encrypted and stored as a cookie inside your browser. As long as you don't close your browser, the session will persist, and it will know your original pid # as you click around the site. Last edited by Martell; 09-16-2009 at 10:06 AM. |
Thanks, Martell, you're probably right, I hope you're right and I'd love to know for sure how Powells handles the sorts of orders I described.
I allow my browser to store cookies only for the site I'm visiting (no cross-site checks) and only for the instant session. Some configs will allow storing cross-site cookies and cookies from past sessions. |

In a ruined and toxic landscape, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. There, men and women live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. Sheriff Holston, who has unwaveringly upheld the silo's rules for years, unexpectedly breaks the greatest taboo of all: He asks to go outside.
His fateful decision unleashes a drastic series of events. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. Now Juliette is about to be entrusted with fixing her silo, and she will soon learn just how badly her world is broken. The silo is about to confront what its history has only hinted about and its inhabitants have never dared to whisper. Uprising.
©2012 Hugh Howey (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Post-apocalyptic life in a silo"
Wool presents an intriguing slant on the post-apocalyptic theme. The story opens with humanity confined to an underground silo consisting of about 150 levels, but without any sort of elevator or escalator, just stairs. Outside the silo is a barren, poisonous landscape. Technologically, society is late 20th century with modern medicine (although nothing special) and limited computer capabilities. The silo is completely self-sufficient with religious beliefs consistent with the silo as a heavenly creation. Banishment from the silo with eventual death by toxic gases is their form of capital punishment. We follow several characters that slowly unravel inconsistencies in this setup with the realization that there are things beyond the silo and history left unspoken.
The author provides some interesting organizational parallels to the society that add to the believability of this world. For example, the levels of the silo are divided into three sections (upper, middle, and lower) that parallel socioeconomic and political status: the upper is political and administrative with IT dominating; the middle section is largely a middle class of professionals, while the bottom sections are relegated to manual and grunt labor. Much effort, subterfuge, and ruthlessness goes into maintaining order until one lone woman manages to undermine the delicate balance.
The major detraction is the slow pace of the entire story with important revelations reserved for late in the tale. At the same, the author slowly kills off early characters that appeared as major players and only gradually introduces the participants around for the denouement. Finally, the narration is suboptimal with a poor rendition of voices and an extreme slow pace of delivery that only adds to the snail's pace.
"Open Mic night for Narrators"
I am not a perfectionist when it comes to the narration, but I could not sit through this performance. The narrator sounds like Glinda the good witch of the north after an ambien overdose in her best voice. Things get rediculous when the other male characters come into the story. Seriously I have heard more reasonable voices on Sponge Bob cartoons. It ruined the story for me. Skip the audio and just read this one.
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Lives up to the Hype!"
For all that I love speculative fiction, I'm not normally a big fan of dystopian tales because I found many to be too preachy, way too depressing, or just plain silly. But there has been SOOO much buzz about Wool - self published novellas go viral and young author is suddenly famous with a film deal maybe coming - that I just had to give it a try. I am really glad I did.This dystopian adventure sidesteps the overly moralistic tone of many, totally avoids the teenage angst and clumsy romance of some recent dystopias, and although sometimes sad and definitely often dark, the book presents a fairly hopeful view of humanity in the end. There is probably not quite enough in-depth science to satisfy the hard core hard science fans, but there is enough working detail to help the listener really visualize the unusual settings and suspend disbelief to become engrossed in the plot. And, the science fiction lover in me found a lot to like.
The book is not perfect, Howey provides more description of the appearance of places than of his characters, the writing is a bit choppy at times, and I was left really wishing I understood better how the world actually got to the "wool times". However, you can hear the writing become smoother and more fluid as the book goes on; physical appearance of the characters is limited, but motivations, behavior, relationships, and personality are well fleshed out and these people ring true; the lack of complete explanation of the evolution to "wool-times" means that there isn't much dull info-dumping going on and there are plenty of surprises left for the sequels :)
In addition to some great characters and very interesting settings, the plot is fabulous. Twisty-turny throughout to the point that it difficult to say much more about the plot than the summary does without committing a "spoiler sin". So I will just say that some of the twists you may see coming, but there were a couple that totally surprised me. Like most dystopian adventures, some of the surprises are shocking and horrific, but a couple of them are just really cool.
Amanda Sayle is OK as the narrator. Her voice in the narrative sections is good, but I found her character voices mostly off-putting and a little distracting.
Wool ends perfectly for a book in a series. It comes to a satisfying conclusion and wraps up most of the immediate plot lines. But it leaves the door wide open for further adventures and left me determined to be first in line to download the next book as soon as Audible brings it to us. Wool is strong enough on good characters and interesting plot to find fans across the genre lines, but most science fiction buffs are sure to enjoy it.
I heard about this book via TechDirt b/c the author published the book through Amazon directly and did tremendously well on sales. When I saw the Audible version, i had to get it since i had owned the Kindle version for a year w/o reading it. The book is now being made into a movie so its an all around win for independent authors.
Anyways, this book is one of the best books I've listened to in a while (and that's coming off of a long stretch of Alastair Reynolds and Peter F Hamilton books, among others). The writing is very, very good and i completely understand how and why it would be considered 'movie material'. This is one of those books that when you see the movie after finishing the book, you'll have the feeling that you've already seen 'that part' b/c the imagery Howey creates is vivid and complete. In that sense, i would say its comparable to Harry Potter and Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice & Fire series).
Onto the narration by Amanda Sayle - I was impressed. This book doesn't have a sole main character, it has many that all follow a similar story line and the split is pretty even, half male, half female. Audible books tend to have a narrator with a gender matching the protagonist but this one could go either way. I think Amanda did a wonderful job that certainly adds to the overall quality of the story.
Finally, i will say that had i actually read a synopsis of this book before buying it, i would not have purchased it b/c the type of story that it is doesn't typically appeal to me. That said, i'm glad i got it and i think you should skip the synopsis and hype too, just get it and listen/read!!
"An Excellent Choice"
Several hundred years from now, in a post-apocalyptic world, the surviving humans live in underground silos. There are secrets that will be protected at any cost. Most follow the rules and ask no questions. Only a few dare to challenge and this puts their lives in grave danger.
"Wool" is among the best books I have listened to since joining Audible.
"Strong Material Outweighs Awful Narration"
Very well written, dystopian future story. The narrator nearly ruins it though. When she is reading in her own voice she is fine, but her character voices are nasal & cartoonish. Very glad that the remainder of the series has a different narrator. If you think you can stand the annoying voices, give it a go. If not, get the print edition.
"Utilize whispersync if going audible. Great book!"
This book is wonderful. It's thought provoking and is not a predictable dystopian novel. I can see it appealing to a YA audience but I would categorize it as adult. There is minimal profanity and no sexual content. The narration is bad as many have commented and I understand that they use a different narrator for 'Shift.' ...I am grateful.
The book is captivating and I will be reading the next book, 'Shift', by Hugh Howey. It explores a silo and its society after the world, the "up top," has been contaminated and made unlivable. What is intriguing about it is it takes place generations after anyone has any idea about what happend to the surface and elephants and green grass in books seem to be made up creations. The general population has no idea what happend before and it is designed to be that way. The book explores the human need to find out their history and the need to leave the silo. The book shows how these needs effect their society. It is forbidden to discuss going "up top" or to go outside. It's is very much a contained psychological experiment in the essence that you have an absolute control group. The difference is it isn't an experiment in the book. It is their reality. There are good twists and I highly recommend it.
The use of whispersync for this book was very nice particularly because of the narration. I hadn't used whispersync before and found I liked it. It was cheap to pick up the audible portion after getting the book through amazon. I think it helped my review of the book. I started reading 'Wool', which was fortunate, because Amanda Sayle's ability to do additional character voices is lacking. She does fine on regular narration and Juliette's portion but her interpretation of male voices and some of the women is really bad and I think it would have led me to find some of the characters that I interpreted in my head as strong as juvenile. I utilzed whispersync for Julietts's portions and went back to the book if there was a lot of dialogue. I believe I might have abandoned the book if I hadn't. I would only get the audible version of this book if you choose to use whispersync. If you don't want to do whispersync I would read it and not listen to it.
I love to read books; and now just recently I've discovered that audio books are very cool!! I'm also an author. You can find the SciFi book "The Curse of Europa" here on Audible or on Amazon.
"I'm glad I stuck it out"
A little less description of EVERYTHING. To me the story started out slow and I almost gave up on it. I moved onto a different book and just about returned this book because it was just moving way too s-l-o-w, and the character voices of the mayor and especially the deputy were very annoying. I returned to it a few weeks later and stuck it out - but the beginning almost made me bail.
Once the story picked up steam I enjoyed it. It was clever and smart.
I just listened to story narrated by Angela Dawe. She was spectacular! Sayle's character voices rubbed me the wrong way I guess. Her normal narration voice was okay but she seemed to read a bit slow also which added to the slow start. I bumped the narration speed to 1.5 which helped.
In the end yes. But like I said before, I almost baled on it after about 2 hours. I think the word count could have been cut a lot without loosing any of the story.
I'm glad I stuck it out. After the mayor and the deputy voices were no longer needed, the other ones were not as bad. I was excited to dive into this book and was sad when I was ready to give up on it thinking it just wasn't my style. But I did like it over all. I think the author just has a way of over describing stuff, but I think that is what others liked about it. You can't please everyone :)
"First of my Howey books"
As I write this review, there are a lot of reviews for this book, so I may not add anything new, but I couldn't resist to give my two cents.
Some people complained in the reviews why the book titled Wool. I find it appropriate, it refers to the core principle of cleaning the lenses, keep the Silo going.
The characterisation is good, we get enough details and backstory for the main characters, others are drawn with rough lines, but we don't need to know them deeply.
I enjoyed the writing except that it drags time after time. Some scenes were just too long, I had to resist to skip forward.
I had problem with the basic principle of the Silo. People were separated, so they don't conspire against the ones who rule. The fact that it was hard to climb so many steps and the expensiveness of the electronic communication was supposed to do the job. There is logic in it, I admit, but something is just not quite right. People still communicated, word had gotten to places. There were a few other details that annoyed me, for example the lack of elevators. I get that it could have been because of this idea of separating people, but can you imagine how much stuff the porters had to carry up and down? And what about the big, heavy things? And there was also the cleaning. It was all believable that Holston was tricked to clean, but what about the people who wouldn't clean the lenses because they would be angry being cast out. And what about the total jerks, who would broke the cameras out of mere revenge? Surely there would be one or two in a few hundred years. Why not having a cleaning mechanism and use another way of punishment? These simply doesn't add up for me.
Besides that I found the plot compelling, and I enjoyed the action scenes.
I liked the way technical details were presented. The author didn't want to lecture me in engineering or IT, he gave only those details what I needed, without using jargon.
All in all, I enjoyed the book, and I want to know what happens in Shift and Dust.
I have not read the print version, the audio edition was fantastic. Contrary to some of the reviews posted critical narrator, I never found Sayle's voicing of the characters confusing.
Jules. Strong and intelligent .
Jules' attempted rescue of (?) at Silo 18 near the end of the book.
Yes, when one of main characters at the beginning decides to go outside.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianRaw tomato soup recipe - Does that sound tasty to you? For some reason I was really turned off by the idea of raw soups for a long time. For two years, actually! I was turned off of raw soups because I once made a raw vegan beet soup that was very gross and watery!
But I finally gave raw soups another go and was pleasantly--and I mean very pleasantly--surprised by my raw tomato soup recipe!
What I like about this recipe is that it's so easy. I mean, you've got tomatoes and cashews, basically. Can't get much easier than that!
A lot of other raw tomato soups call for avocados, but I like this recipe because I always have cashews on hand in my pantry so I can make it any time--rather than having to make sure I have a perfect avocado on hand.
This raw tomato soup recipe makes a nice big bowl for one person. :)

Hmmmm - I've been looking at that psyllium husk bread you do with big eyes... but don't have a dehydrator yet and budget a bit tight for the next little while. What can you recommend that is super easy, savoury, and can be done with a blender only? Think I might be trying the red pepper soup next! Yum!

Hi! Thanks for this recipe. I've just started trying to be a bit healthier (in college, it's surprisingly easy to just eat oreos all the time) and this is the first raw recipe I've followed. It takes amazing! Thanks so much and I'll look for more recipes on your site. :)
Susan 's Review
Raw tomato soup recipe
Fantastic!! I really enjoyed this soup..yum :)
Made 3 serves today for lunch for my husband and mum. Prepared in the vitamix. Easy and fast! Enjoyed by all. Only real comment is that it tasted much better with really ripe tomatoes, not those insipid ones from the supermarket...

jujea's Review
Raw tomato soup recipe
I keep waiting to find that one recipe that I "only" give four stars to.... this isn't it. Absolutely fabulous! I added avocado, as well, as I had a perfectly ripe one "staring" at me. This recipe was SO good that I almost licked the bowl -- but then gave it to my cat. He licked it clean. This will definitely be a "go to" recipe!
JeannineC's Review
Raw tomato soup recipe
My Polish grandmother used to make a beautiful tomato-based soup that I loved dearly as a child. This is so reminiscent of the taste - it almost brought tears to my eyes! I just added some dill and avocado on top. Beautiful and easy. Love it.
Holly's Review
Raw tomato soup recipe
My friend and I are working to implement raw recipes into our diet, and attempted raw recipes for the first time tonight. We paired this soup with the Avocado Dulse salad also listed on your site. We did make a few adjustments to the recipe due to some comments we read. We prepared this as a doubled recipe and first we added fresh basil (that I grew myself) and we added half of an avocado. For beginners, this recipe was perfect and we both really enjoyed the outcome. Since we are still new to this, we are both missing the hot / cooked aspect of the soup, but I think as we dive more into raw food options, we will adjust. Can't wait to try more of your recipes! Next on our list is the mushroom soup!
So this didn't taste as tomato-y as I was hoping- then again it's not tomato season! But still delish and comforting on a chilly day. Also seems like would taste good over noodles.
Thanks again =)
Can you use sunflower seeds in place of cashews when making recipes with nuts?
Hi Kjones,
My answer is, it depends on the recipe and the nut - more info here :) https://www.therawtarian.com/rfp05-nut-substitutions
I'm wondering if any other nut may be substituted for cashew? Almond maybe?

Great Skirt!
Another great skirt from The Limited! Bought the jacket as well. I bought the size 6 skirt, and it fit well, a bit tight around my butt, however, a great suit, overall!
June 24, 2013
I am very curvy at the bottom and was unsure as to the fit. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the quality material and amazing fit. I will definitely shop at The Limited again.
June 21, 2013
Love It!
I am a fan of seersucker and I was thrilled when I found this skirt. It fits me perfectly! The band on the upper half of the skirt is perfect for my little waist and the skirt still accommodates the lower half of my body. This is usual difficult because most products will either fit one or the other. The product fits true to size and it's a trend that's definitely in!
June 15, 2013
Great Suit
I've never owned a seersucker suit, but I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be great. The color is nice and muted (not like the brighter blue seersucker), and it is okay to wear in my office. I really like the white line under the waistline. It is a nice touch.
June 14, 2013
Gorgeous Skirt
This skirt is lovely. True to size. Love pairing it with a bold color. It does seem to wrinkle more than other Limited skirts but overall, great buy. Love the seersucker print.
June 12, 2013
Classic skirt
Slight stretch, lightweight, and comfortable fit. Goes with anything and seersucker is classic. Great skirt to have and keep in your closet!
June 5, 2013
I love TL pencil skirts- rarely do I have any issues with fit or quality. This is another great skirt! Lots of compliments and very classy.
June 2, 2013
Beautiful, great fit, wrinkles easily
I love how The Limited's skirts fit me! I'm 5'10", 140 pounds, and size 4 always fits like a glove.
This one just arrived in the mail today, and the fit is great. The only warnings I'd give are 1) that it wrinkles very easily (I haven't even put it on yet--save a try-on--and I'm already smoothing out wrinkles). I suppose that's just the nature of seersucker, though. 2) It could possibly use a lining of some sort? It's not see-through, but it is quite thin.
Beautiful skirt with a classic fit though--can't wait to wear it on Monday!

Even if fedora was called blooming flowers, normal people would run away from it because you have to add a third party repo for every stupid app like chromium or vlc. Combined with the alpha quality regression testing, only power users will care to use it.
I have rarely if ever encountered a Fedora user who has referred to a version based on it's codename. So the Microsoft comparison actually is apposite.
It annoys me when Ubuntu users identify it by it's codename, but in the end I doubt that this is the primary reason why Linux has not had massive widespread adoption.
I mean, they said the same thing about Tux back in the day. I think people just need to chill out over this one...
Fedora Advantage is a nice name, I thought as well to use Fedora Avantguard but choosing this latter adjective leaves out the rock solid great products that appear first in Fedora, before elsewhere. Since Fedora 6 to 17. Fedora has been (for me), crash proof.
I thought that significant scientists should have distributions named after them
Jonas (Salk Vaccine)
Thomas Edison (bringing the lightbulb to production)
James Maxwell (Maxwells equations for Electricity and more)
Albert Einstein (E=mc^2)
and of course
another 500 scientists who deserve merit-us mention and a distribution named after them.
and me.
Leslie Satenstein (for suggesting a naming pattern)

text: Homeopathic Materia Medica by FarringtonPALLADIUM(pall)Palladium is of use principally for its action on the female genital organs. Its characteristic mental symptoms seem to find origin in the sexual symptoms, and form with the latter, a useful and precise group for practical use. The patient is inclined to weep. She suffers from mental excitement, particularly in company. She always has an aggravation of her symptoms the day following an evening's entertainment. She is easily put out of humor, and is then inclined to use pretty strong language. She imagines herself very much neglected, and as she attaches great importance to the good opinion of others, this annoys her very much. The Platina woman is very different. She is egotistical in another form. Under Palladium, pride is easily wounded. In Platina the patient is haughty and egotistical; she looks down on others as not being good enough for her.Palladium has a very characteristic headache which makes the patient very irritable. It extends across the top of the head from ear to ear. The face is sallow, with blue rings around the eyes. There are also nausea, usually worse in the evening, and very acid eructations. The bowels are constipated, the stools often being whitish in color. We come now to the special uterine symptoms of Palladium, and these we find quite numerous. They are as follows: Soreness in the abdomen with downward pressure, a very common symptom in uterine diseases; pain in the uterus and bladder after any exertion during the day; knife-like cutting pains in the uterus, which are relieved after stool; constant tired feeling in the small of the back; she is so tired that she actually reels; she feels drowsy; she complains that she feels sore and bruised all over; heaviness as from lead deeply seated in the pelvis, worse from any exertion, and worse standing; walking is much less irksome to her than is standing; lying on the left side relieves; swelling in the region of the right ovary with shooting pains from navel into the pelvis, and with this there is bearing down, relieved by rubbing. These local symptoms, together with those of the mind, make up the complete Palladium picture. ARGENTICUM METALLICUM, like Palladium, has affections of the ovaries and uterus. It is useful in prolapsus uteri when accompanied by symptoms of the left ovary. The special characteristic sensation in Argentum metallicum is a feeling as though the left ovary was growing enormously large. Still another drug is LILIUM TIGRINUM. This resembles Palladium and Platinum both, and you will have to keep these three remedies together in your minds. They all have irritability, "easily angered," and "things don't go right," but only Palladium has this over-sensitiveness to offence, and only Platinum has HAUTEUR. HELONIAS is also similar to Palladium. It has the irritability, the soreness, and, above all, a feeling of "tiredness."

This West Village New American serves affordable fare in a warm and charming space, but if you want in, you have to find it first (expect to see equally confused patrons on the corner). Diners have to go around the corner on Morton Street and look for an unmarked steel door that will lead them into a courtyard - if you write down the address and try to enter on Hudson Street, you'll just find a door that doesn't open. Once you're inside the courtyard, the restaurant is up a small set of metal stairs - the best place to chill out is at the chef's counter, which takes up the left side of the cozy room. Though reservations are recommended for this popular haunt, we've been able to score a seat at the bar pretty much every time we've decided to stop by.

A rare, but serious, back condition called spondylolisthesis can make it difficult to sit for prolonged periods, play sports, or perform chores without pain.

How common are government trademarks?
Friday - 3/9/2012, 5:01pm EST
Deborah Cohn, commissioner for trademarks, Patent and Trademark Office
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and 13 other senators are urging the Department of Veterans Affairs to get trademark protection for the term, GI Bill. By trademarking the term, they hope to reduce the chance the phrase could be used in deceptive marketing by some colleges and universities.
In a press release, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), a proponent of the measure, said, "Recent investigations by the Government Accountability Office and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions found that many for-profit colleges and universities use predatory recruiting practices and false advertising to encourage prospective students to enroll, despite having low student success rates and high costs. Many of these ads specifically target veterans. Trademarking the phrase 'GI Bill' would help bring this to an end by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that the phrase is only being used to provide impartial and comprehensive information about these benefits."
The senators wrote a letter to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki expressing their concern with the way the phrase is being used.
The government currently has trademarks for the terms Social Security and Medicare, according to the Federal Times. But, how common are government trademarks?
Deborah Cohn, commissioner for trademarks at the Patent and Trademark Office, discussed the issue of government trademarks on the Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

text: Just noticed that the Atom is being run with the new x32 mixed instruction set. This takes advantage of the 64 bit improvements in the architecture and enables 64 bit registers for doing math (faster in some cases) but limits the memory addressing to 32 bits (less cache pressure). Especially in a system like Atom I could see that giving a performance bump in many cases.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Double Milk Stout "2 varieties of hops & 3 types of malts" Milk stout, also called cream or sweet stout, is a stout containing lactose, a sugar derived from milk. Because lactose is unfermentable by beer yeast, it adds sweetness and body to the finished beer. Milk stouts have been claimed to be nutritious, and were marketed as such in the early 1900s with claims that would make the FDA wince. One ad read, Ideal for nursing mothers, for the healthy, for the invalid, and for the worker. Surely! Of course, we couldnt stop at a traditional milk stout. Ours is a double, an addition to our 2X line, and at 7.5% abv is every bit as delicious as it sounds. To your health!

An area of forest that exists mainly in the Southern half of New Jersey and eastern Long Island. The forest consists mostly of Pitch Pine and swamps of Atlantic White Cedar (NJ). Relatively flat and sandy. Nicknamed the Pine Barrens by early settlers because of the difficulty of growing crops in the sandy, acidic soil.

Lane Wildlife Area
Dighton, KS
Manager: Brent Clark (620)276-8886
The 42 acre property was purchased by the state in 1965.
Lane Wildlife Area is a 42 acre property that is located 6 1/2 miles north and 3 miles east of Dighton. The original intent was to pump water into the lake from a well on the property. Man-made dikes were contracted to contain any water that was pumped. Unfortunately, the lake has never held sufficient depth do to evaporation and porous soils. Attempts were made to pump enough water to create a wetland, but this was abandoned on the basis of inefficiency. With the renewed interest in wetlands, it could be that future attempts will be made again. The well was recently checked and it is dry.
At present, the area is managed as a public hunting area. The area comprises native grass with two tree/shrub shelterbelt plantings. There are approximately five acres of trees and shrubs. The main species hunted on the area are pheasants, mourning doves, and cottontail rabbits. White-tailed deer and mule deer can also be occasionally found on the area.
- Vehicles must stay on established roadways. Off-road driving is not allowed.
- A no trash policy is in place on this property. Please help us keep the area clean by taking your trash home.
- Refer to the information sign at the parking lot or written regulations to obtain current bag limits, hunting regulations, and public lands regulations.

UB04/CMS1450 Revenue Codes
- 279 Codes
UB04/CMS1450 Revenue Codes ("279" Codes):
279X Reserved for National Assignment UB04 Revenue Code
* Note: Codes may not be sequential.
Back to list of UB04/CMS1450 Revenue Codes - "27" Code Groups
What are UB04 Revenue Codes?
Form CMS-1450 (UB-04)
This form, also known as the UB-04, is a uniform institutional provider bill suitable for use in billing multiple third party payers. Because it serves many payers, a particular payer may not need some data elements. The National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) maintains lists of approved coding for the form. All items on Form CMS-1450 are described. The FI must be able to capture all NUBC-approved input data described in section 75 (of the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 25) for audit trail purposes and be able to pass all data to other payers with whom it has a coordination of benefits agreement.
CMS1450/UB04 Field: 42 - Revenue Code (Required)
The provider enters the appropriate revenue codes to identify specific accommodation and/or ancillary charges. It must enter the appropriate numeric revenue code on the adjacent line in FL 42 to explain each charge in FL 47. Additionally, there is no fixed "Total" line in the charge area. The provider must enter revenue code 0001 instead in FL 42. Thus, the adjacent charges entry in FL 47 is the sum of charges billed. This is the same line on which non-covered charges, in FL 48, if any, are summed. To assist in bill review, the provider must list revenue codes in ascending numeric sequence and not repeat on the same bill to the extent possible. To limit the number of line items on each bill, it should sum revenue codes at the "zero" level to the extent possible.

Yanks-O's series continues with Phelps vs. Britton
Jockeying for position in the tight American League East, the Orioles and Yankees each have plenty of opportunities over the next 10 days to improve their fortunes at the expense of the other.
The teams will meet on Saturday night in the second of a three-game series at Camden Yards, and they will clash for three more next weekend in the Bronx.
"It's important, because we have to try to move ahead of the teams that are ahead of us," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, "and we get Baltimore, I think, six times before the [All-Star] break, and it gives us an opportunity."
The Yankees went into Friday's series opener one game behind the second-place Orioles and 4 1/2 behind the division-leading Red Sox before losing ground to both with a 4-3 loss.
It's been a struggle recently for New York, which led the division entering play on May 26 but is 12-19 since. Still, the Yankees remain well within striking distance.
"I think you're pretty fortunate to have that happen," Girardi said. "No one has really run away with it. Boston has seemed to pick it up again, and we're going to have to pick it up if we want to remain in the race."
Girardi will turn on Saturday to right-hander David Phelps, who will be trying to build on his stellar month. In four June starts, he is 2-1 with a 2.66 ERA, and he has lowered his season ERA to 4.01.
Phelps hasn't started against the Orioles this season, but he did appear in relief against them on April 13, giving up one hit and walking none while striking out six over four scoreless innings.
Baltimore will counter with left-hander Zach Britton, who is 1-2 with a 5.51 ERA in three big league starts this season. Britton compiled a 3.28 ERA over 11 outings at Triple-A Norfolk.
Britton has started twice since his latest promotion but wasn't able to go deep in either game, striking out six and walking six over 10 1/3 innings. On Monday he held the Indians scoreless through five but surrendered three runs without recording an out in the sixth.
"[He] just elevated some balls, lost his command," manager Buck Showalter said. "He had pretty good movement, late life. He got out of some potential sticky situations, but I thought he pitched well for five innings. But ... different stuff showed up there in the sixth."
Although this is hardly the same Yankees offense as in years past, Britton has struggled mightily in his dealings with them, with a 7.82 ERA over six starts.
Yankees: Bats staying quiet
The Bronx Bombers are in an unfamiliar position, near the bottom of the Major League rankings in several offensive categories. Entering Friday they ranked 26th in batting average, 24th in OPS, 22nd in runs and 29th in doubles. Last season they had the second-highest scoring offense and ranked first in OPS.
"We've got to figure it out," Girardi said. "For me to spend all my time worrying about that is not going to do me any good. The bottom line is that I think these guys are capable of getting it done, and we've just got to do it."
During their current 12-19 stretch, the injury-ravaged Yankees are averaging 3.2 runs per game, so Girardi isn't too surprised to find his team leaning on its pitching.
"On a daily basis, I don't really think a lot about it. I think about how you're going to win that game today," he said. "As we left Spring Training, we said that the strength of our club was going to be our pitching, and we were probably going to have to win a lot of tight games. We're going to have to continue to do that if we're going to have success."
Orioles: Davis has dominant history with Yanks
First baseman Chris Davis went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Friday. It was a rare quiet game for him, especially against the Yankees.
In his first six games against New York this season, Davis went 9-for-22 with a double and two home runs.
"You better not make mistakes, or he's going to hit it a long way," Girardi said. "And he can hit some pitches that are down in the zone. You talk about pitching down, but he's a pretty good low-ball hitter."
• Second baseman Brian Roberts left his rehab game at Triple-A Norfolk early on Friday, but not because of a setback. He will be joining the Orioles on Saturday and be activated to start on Sunday.
Worth noting
• With Friday's win, the Orioles took a 4-3 lead in the season series.
• Phelps' last start at Camden Yards came on Sept. 6, 2012, when he gave up five runs on six hits in four innings.

NEST Customer Reviews
I love the gentle fragrance. - 4/9/2015 10:05:52 AM I love the fragrance of grapefruit in lotions especially when it is lightly scented, which this soap is. I would purchase this hand soap again.Wow- want to keep this gift for me - 11/13/2014 11:30:45 AM I have only ever bought the Grapefruit candle before (and absolutely loved it). It lasted a very long time because you just have to have it burning for 10 minutes and it continues to scent the air for hours. I was reluctant to buy other scents because I was worried I wouldn't like them since the descriptions (while great and very extensive) actually ended up being scary rather than enticing. This box is a lovely gift and I wanted a chance to smell them all before committing to the big size (which is a HUGE bargain in comparison because these are 2 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide and cost more than $6 each). I actually am torn about giving this box away now! You could easily wrap each one individually to use for stocking stuffers.LOVE IT - 10/21/2013 9:17:09 AM never would have imagined spending 32 dollars for body lotion.. but I did and I will again.. this fragrance makes me happy and the lotion feels so good on my dry skin. I don't use it everyday because of price but its a special treat on special days. love itSubtle Delight - 6/30/2013 9:39:00 AM I placed this reed diffuser at the top of my stairway and everytime I pass by I get a delicate whiff of freshness. It is not too perfumey, and has lasted several weeks still going strong-but not too strong!If green had a smell.... - 5/19/2013 5:01:36 AM This line has a wonderful scent; fresh, clean. The whole line is delightful from room fragrances to body lotion.NEST Diffuser Moroccan Amber - 11/17/2012 11:58:01 AM I was looking for a diffuser that was not overpower or too powdery or too fruity so I was very happy with NEST's Moroccan Amber. I have used it for over two weeks now and still smells subtly nice. I like the clean glass design and size of the product really is a good value compared to many of the smaller ones on the market that smell too synthetic to me.Nest diffusers last forever - 10/8/2012 7:11:57 PM The Nest diffusers are some of the most long lasting and powerful but subtle fragrance. I bought the grapefruit scent as a gift and everyone has said the same thing!the Best Candles at any price - 8/3/2012 7:14:56 PM NEST Candles are the only candles I have every purchased that burn evenly and cleanly all the way to the bottom. Most candles seem lose about 25 to 30% because the outer edges never burn. NEST Candles are so fresh and clean. I highly recommend them (and am delighted to be able to get them at a discount on Skinstore!) -

"Living Silence" is a photographic exhibition of one of the world's most enduring refugee crises, by award-winning photographer Saiful Huq Omi.
Bangladesh has hosted refugees for over three decades. Today, 28,000 refugees from Myanmar known as the Rohingya - an ethnic, religious and linguistic minority people - are living in the two official refugee camps in the south-east of Bangladesh. Over half of them are children, many of whom have only ever experienced life in the camps. It is estimated that there are a further 200,000 Rohingya living outside the camps, unable to return to Myanmar where they fear persecution and exploitation.
Like refugees around the world, the Rohingya refugees are survivors. They are living in transience, waiting for the day they can go home in safety and in dignity. Until then, like any other people, they aspire to live a life free from violence and exploitation.
Together with other UN agencies and NGOs, UNHCR provides shelter, water, primary education and health care to refugees from Myanmar in the Nayapara and Kutupalong camps. UNHCR is also working with governments around the world to resettle some of the most vulnerable.
Some 240,000 Urdu-speaking Biharis spent decades living in appalling conditions in squalid settlements in Bangladesh. They were not recognized as citizens and had little hope of a normal life.
The plight of the Biharis, whose ancestors moved to Bangladesh from India following the 1947 partition of the subcontinent, stems from the separation of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971. While many Bihari Urdu speakers subsequently relocated to Pakistan, up to 300,000 remained in Bangladesh. For many years, their legal rights as citizens were not recognized. Many lived in camps and open settlements and were, as a consequence, often denied access to education and had difficulty finding work.
In 2008, the High Court in Dhaka ruled that the Urdu speakers were nationals of Bangladesh. The government registered the adults as voters in time for the December 2008 general election and issued them with national ID cards.Today they remain a linguistic minority in need of better housing and employment opportunities.
There are an estimated 12 million stateless people in the world. Many are effectively trapped in legal limbo, often with limited enjoyment of human rights.
In 1991, some 250,000 refugees from Myanmar's Northern Rakhine state fled by boat and on foot to neighbouring Bangladesh, where they were sheltered in 20 camps in the Cox's Bazar district. While the majority of these refugees eventually returned home, some 20,500 people – mostly Rohingya, a Muslim minority ethnic group – remain in two of the original camps.
Conditions in these camps are below standard, with many refugees living in overcrowded shelters in desperate need of repair. Frequent heavy rains inundate the area, further damaging shelters and spreading disease. Harassment and discrimination add to the plight of the Rohingya refugees, the majority of whom say that they do not want to return home until there is peace and democracy in Myanmar.
The UNHCR has expanded its routine protection monitoring in Cox's Bazar to address the problems of sexual and gender-based violence as well as trafficking of women and children. The UN refugee agency continues to work with governments, other UN agencies and non-governmental organisations to try and find a durable solution for the Rohingya refugees.
