Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing Agreements
Rob Andreotti
Public Works
Recommended Action
Authorize the City Manager to execute interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements with the National Joint Power Alliance (NJPA) and the Huston-Galveston Area Council (HGACBuy), in a form as approved by the City Attorney.
Public Works staff has researched ways to purchase goods and services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Purchasing cooperatives are groups of public agencies which offer a multitude of contracted products, equipment and services. For example, the City is a member of the US Communities Government Purchasing Alliance. This membership saved the City an estimated $30,000 when the Bradley Lake Park playground equipment was purchased.
In an effort to save on the City's laundry service, which includes Public Works and Parks Department's uniforms, mechanic towels, and door mats and runners for city-owned facilities, staff has discovered that the City could continue to use its preferred vendor (Unifirst, located at 1025 North Levee Road), while saving an estimated 40% with the NJPA contract pricing.
Additionally, the 2013 Water Division budget includes funds to purchase a mini-excavator. Staff's evaluation of the various excavators resulted in three top machines, all of which are available via the HGACBuy contract at a potential savings of 10% to 30%. Should funds become available in 2013 to purchase the Collections Division jetter/vactor, the City could save approximately 10% over the Washington State bid price.
Previous Actions (Discussions/Presentations)
Summary of Proposal
Do not enter into the interlocal agreements and continue to use the Washington State bid, or write and bid our own contracts on items that are not on the Washington State bid or current interlocals.

Paddling in January
A year ago I went iceskating in the Archipelago. This year is the Winter late and the sea is still open. That's perfect. More time for kayaking.
Today I went for a short trip chasing the ferries in the Archipelago. Nobody else on the water these days.
The Braca wing paddle for sea kayaking works out really fine.
Got something to say?

Released: Mar 29th, 2007
Running Time: 96 Min.
Director: Devinn Lane
Company: Spice Studios
Kitty (I), Angela Stone, Shannon Kelly, Michelle Avanti, Mr. Marcus, Lee Stone
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Suddenly, the locale takes a wild left into a medieval set where Stone puts the bone to redheaded Kelly. As a couple, they make savage love like Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja. However, the actual meaning of this historical/hysterical flashback remains locked in Lane's ever-spinning imagination. T. Reel hosts the show like a hip-hop Don Cornelius.
Pre-nom: Best Videography.
Retailing: Hot anal and hardcore for the fast and furious crowd (who like a detour through Medieval Times).

(verse 1) Hey! Give me a listen, you corpses of cheer. least less of you who still got an ear, I'll tell 'ya a story, make your skeleton cry, of our own judiciously lovely corpse bride.
Die, die we all pass away, but don't wear a frown 'cuz it's really okay. You might try n' hide, and you might try n' pray, but we all end up the remains of the day. Die die die yeah yeah, die die die..Well!
Are girl is a beauty known for miles around. A mysterious stranger came into town. He was plenty good lookin' but down on his cash, and our poor little baby she fell hard and fast, when her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope, so our lovers came up with a plan to elope
(repeat chorus)
die die die yeah yeah 3x
(Verse 3)
yeah, so they conjured up a plan to meet late at night, they told not a soul kept the whole thing tight. Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove, you don't need much when you're really in love. Except for a few things or so I'm told, like the family jewels and a satchel of gold.
Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree, on a dark foggy night at a quarter to three, she was ready to go, but where was he?....
(Then?) she waited
(Then?) there in the shadows, was it a man?
(And then?) Her little heart beat sooo loud!
(And THEN?) then baby, everything went black.
Now when she opened her eyes, she was dead as dust, her jewels were missin' and her heart was bust, so she made a vow lyin' under that tree that she'd wait for her true love to come set her free. Always waitin' for someone to ask for her hand, when outta the blue comes this groovy young man, who vows forever, to be by her side, and that's the story of our own, corpse bride (Repeat chorus)

posted @ Friday, June 15, 2012 - 10:34I was only spanked once, and it was never needed again
posted @ Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - 11:28Generally, I'm aware that I'm being tracked by major companies when I use their services and don't mind as long as they're rewarding me for it. For instance, Kroger pumps useful coupons out at me almost every time I scan my Plus Card. They sell more product, I get pizza buy 2/get one free, everyone's happy.
As for the privacy issue, I see less of an issue than others. In this case, I'm unsure of why this teenage girl was keeping her pregnancy a secret from her parents. I understand not wanting that publicized to everyone in town, but it sounds like the coupons were sent directly to her house, in which case they're almost doing her a favor. If she's a teenager living in her parents' house, her rights to privacy from her parents are pretty minimal.
It only bothers me when our private data is accumulated by independent companies and sold off to whoever wants it. This tends to happen more with your online comings and goings than with big business like Target who probably want to hoard all your purchasing trends to themselves.

posted @ Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 12:01This is good news for everyone. Kids benefit by being less influenced to eat junk food, families benefit by feeling a little more comfortable letting their kids watch tv.
Disney reinforces its family-friendly brand, comes off as socially conscious, and gets good press for its trouble. More companies should follow suit. If industries regulate themselves, government is less likely to interfere and mess things up.

posted @ Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 11:56Didn't check the article, but ordering a water instead of a fountain drink can save a ton of money. Many restaurants don't list the prices in the menu for such a drink, but they often cost $2 or more. You might as well get a beer or glass of wine, if you care to.
This will also cut deep into your calorie and sugar intake, helping to justify splurging a little on an unhealthy meal.
If you're at a restaurant that charges for water, I recommend leaving immediately and dining elsewhere.
posted @ Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 11:45When closing my driver side door last week, I managed to yank the plastic panel right off the door frame. Stupid cheap piece of crap Mercury.
Anyway, I managed to bolt the panel back on using some creativity, parts from the door itself, and a couple of screws from Normal Hardware. The fix is pretty precarious and delicate looking, but it seems to work okay.
Now I'm afraid of pulling the panel off again, so I've taken to opening up the window and closing the door by pulling on the window frame

They should also monitor my pizza, candy, and alcohol consumption. Please, government, take care of me!

posted @ Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - 10:08@Shalmaneser: I think something like this might be a good compromise. Though I dislike the concept of a government-mandated marriage license, there's something to be said for having a legal framework for how to deal with things like divorce, childcare, shared income, and the like.
posted @ Monday, June 4, 2012 - 00:email@example.com.: Basically, all of the above. I think a traditional marriage works, and it's probably what I'm interested in. As a Christian, I also believe my marriage will include a union with God. I think this is what would make me most happy, and I think it's the setup that would allow me to make my partner most happy. I also think it's a reliable setup for raising children.
As far as I'm concerned, anything goes as far as relationships, as long as all the participants are consenting and no one else's well-being, especially childrens', is at stake.
posted @ Sunday, June 3, 2012 - 21:firstname.lastname@example.com.: Because I may (or may not) want it. I don't mind social or religious expectations in marriage, but I think it's outrageous the government get to legislate anything about it.

If I want to marry a man, a woman, a dozen of each, a rock, a tree, or myself, what business is that of yours?

Germantown High students need public's help to win Junior Achievement contest
Five Germantown High School students will travel to the nation's capital Monday, hoping to be named Junior Achievement Company of the Year.
Steven Cromwell, Jessica Enochs, Karavantee Garrison, Quartarias Harris and Ellyncia Haywood make up the team representing the JA of Memphis and the Mid-South at this year's competition.
The team created "Project Charity Act," a company focused on finding a way to alleviate world hunger.
Part of the competition requires each team to create a commercial about their company.
With the help of local video production company, Churchill Studios, the students wrote, produced and starred in a commercial advertising a T-shirt intended to advocate the cause and provide proceeds for malnourished children.
The team that has the most cumulative "likes" for their commercial on Facebook and YouTube will be awarded the JA Social Media Award. Voting ends Aug. 2.
Project Charity Act's commercial can be viewed on Facebook and YouTube.

Beyond Chinese Capitalism
Title: | Beyond Chinese Capitalism |
Re-Conceptualising Notions of Chinese-ness in a Southeast Asian Business cum Societal Context | |
Author: | Jacobsen, Michael |
Abstract: | This paper explores the role of the Chinese in a Southeast Asian business cum societal context; from different approaches towards Chinese-ness over different notions of intra- and inter-ethnic relation ending up with a critique of the idea of a Chinese diaspora in a Southeast Asian context. The paper furthermore argues that a culturalist reading of Southeast Asian Chinese modes of engaging in capitalist practices and societal entrenchments constitute a deception that produces a variety of stereotypes of Chinese-ness thus disregarding the complexity and dynamic developments within the ethnic Chinese community region-wise. Finally, in relation to Chinese business practices in a Southeast Asian context the paper suggests that cultural notions of guanxi and xinyong do not form a basis for doing business the Chinese way, only options, that intra-ethnic relations do not play an important role in transnational Chinese linkages, and that contemporary conceptions of Chinese identity are always negotiated with the dominant 'other' so as to secure the construction of an economic 'room' or space from where business can be conducted in an overall societal acceptable manner. Key words: Ethnic Chinese, diaspora, entrepreneurship, ethnicity, identity |

Peschisolido is not MP material
Perhaps it is time to take a walk down memory lane.
Joe Peschisolido crossed the floor in 2002 from the now-defunct Canadian Alliance party to join the Liberals. The reactions to this move from his constituency office and supporters were revealing.
Kenny Chiu, then-president of the Alliance's Richmond constituency association, said his supporters felt "disbelief, betrayal, and sadness" over the move. Constituents in Richmond were not notified beforehand about the defection, and were equally shocked at the crossing. If Peschisolido is to take office, he brings to Ottawa a history of deceit, misrepresentation, and disloyalty.
I suppose the question then becomes why we should vote for Peschisolido, when our incumbent MP Alice Wong is vying for a second term in office. Peschisolido provides the best answer himself: "With an MP that is part of the government in power, Richmond stands a better chance of getting the goodies, he said, such as the proposed trade and exhibition centre and rapid transit" (Richmond Review, Jan. 31, 2002).
Alice Wong is currently Richmond's MP, and she has served as the parliamentary secretary for multiculturalism. By Peschisolido's own reasoning and logic, Wong is the best choice to represent Richmond in the House of Commons.

In 1998 at the Heli Japan Conference held in Gifu, Japan, I attended a presentation by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on what they thought future heliport design criteria should include.

First of all, I hate partisan politics. There are too many times when it gets in the way of the nation's—any nation's—best interest.

I've been using this product for years for skin issue and it's wonderful. Dermarest psoriasis medicated moisturizer is very effective product. it definitely met my expectations. t helps so much to keep my scalp from itching and scaling. I highly recommended this product.
This product works great. I've suffered from eczema my whole life and recently started getting very bad psoriasis on my lower legs. This has been the second day using it and already my skin is starting to clear. I'm sure it will take a few more days, but I'm amazed. It is the first product that has given me hope.
My daughter, 12 years old, injured her hand and arm and instead of healing, the injury went on to produce swollen, hard, scaly skin like you might find with psoriasis or seborrhea dermatitis. Knowing full well that psoriasis runs in my family and can show up after skin trauma, I decided to go ahead and try the Dermarest on my daughter before a more expensive treatment from a doctor. It burned her horribly when we first started using it, because she had a lot of scabs and open wounds from the cracking and peeling skin. Now after only a week's use, twice a day applications, the redness is nearly gone, the swelling is at least halved, and the raw, scaly scabs and cracks are noticeably reduced. She's very close to having the "small, pretty" hands she used to have and wants back. I'd warn anyone about the burning if they have any open spots, but my daughter thinks it's completely worth it to have the problem gone!
my son has bad dry skin i tried every thing this is the one the that is always worked
Completely cleared a bad case on my mother's leg, with use twice a day. It also seems to help with itching. We were very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked; in just three weeks the rash was completely gone. We had tried other creams for six months before finding this product. Highly recommend!

I called a Redfern Locksmith when the laundry lock failed. I was a rough job as they had to drill the handles off to get to the latch but I was happy they did it without any damage to the door. They replaced the lockset with an identical one which hey had in their van and also put a better latch in as they explained the cheap latch was the cause of the lockout in the first place. Happy.
Excellent service from the time I made the call up till they finished the job. In my job as a retail manager I need to call tradesman every now and then. Nat's Bondi Locksmiths are a reliable mobile service and even come to me when I need to cut a key. It's good because it saves me time having to go to the Bunnings. Always good to have a dependable supplier like these guys. Yes I would recommend them.
I needed a 24 hour emergency locksmith Newtown when I lost the keys to my apartment. They picked the lock causing no damage to the door which was good as I was renting the place. The old keys still worked after they gained entry which was perfect as the landlord told me I wasn't allowed to change the keys to the locks. Paid with credit card as they had an EFTPOS terminal on site.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Mavericks get their trip to the White House, but disagree over who arranged it
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The NBA-champion Dallas Mavericks are getting their White House trip although owner Mark Cuban and the league disagree on how it was arranged.
And Cuban insists the league still messed up by not giving the Mavericks a game in Washington.
"It doesn't change the fact that they didn't (schedule) a game in DC for us," the Mavericks owner wrote Tuesday in an email. "Given the compressed schedule it should have been more of a priority because they knew better than any of us how few days off we would have to do something."
Cuban said Monday night in Dallas "the league office was stupid or dumb or worse" to not schedule the defending champions in Washington so they could have the traditional trip to meet the American President. But the NBA noted scheduling that game wouldn't have necessarily meant seeing President Barack Obama.
"Our jurisdiction doesn't extend to scheduling the president, and scheduling the Mavericks against the Wizards would have been no guarantee that the president would be in town and available," league spokesman Mike Bass said.
But Bass said the league did find a suitable solution.
"We learned that he would be available Jan. 9 and began working with the Mavericks to accommodate that availability and the Mavericks' schedule. Fortunately, we were able to make it work," Bass said.
The Mavericks will meet Obama on Monday, at the start of a road trip to Detroit and Boston.
But Cuban insisted the Mavs did their own work on this one.
"We took the lead," he wrote. "Obviously, we have to include the NBA in our plans."

December 27, 2002, Chandigarh, India
Governor keeps govt on tenterhooks Haryana Cong assails registration of case INLD drive to enrol women members Move to form Ambala corporation rejected Tabla maestro casts a spell |
Cadets to be
at Hisar Couple commits suicide Vita ghee prices reduced
Governor keeps govt on tenterhooks Chandigarh, December 26 The delay is worrying Mr Chautala who has been scouting for investors for setting up casinos in the state as part of multi-facility tourism projects. The Town and Country Planning Department has been asked to identify sites for such projects, and recently representatives of a Johannesburg based group even visited the state for investing in tourism sector following an invitation by the state government. The foreigners, it was learnt, told Haryana Government functionaries that only a casino could ensure success of the proposed project. Not to be moved by such eagerness being displayed by Mr Chautala to go ahead with the project, Babu Parmanand is taking his own time before coming to any decision regarding the Bill and the related amendment. The Assembly session, when the Bill and the amendment was passed, was over on October 31. A total of 12 Bills and amendments, passed during the session, were sent to Raj Bhavan on December 3 for the Governors assent. While 10 of them were given assent by the Governor, the casino Bill and the amendment in the Public Gaming Act had been held back by him even though he was required to take decisions at the earliest. Governmental circles are also abuzz with rumours about Babu Parmanand obtaining feedback from senior BJP leaders in Delhi, including members of the Union Cabinet, on the casino issue. Officials who are closely monitoring the Raj Bhavans moves, however, denied Babu Parmanand having met anyone in Delhi on the casino issue. They, however, admitted that the Governor had summoned the Advocate General of Haryana recently and discussed the issue with him. The Governor had also studied in detail information about the offshore casino at
Goa, they said. While the mandatory recommendation of the Governor was obtained by the state government for the casino Bill before it was was placed before the House, Babu Parmanand had reportedly yielded to the task after a lot of persuasion. The Chief Minister himself had to make a number of calls to Raj Bhavan to make the Governor recommend the Bill. However, Mr Chautala has not yet taken up with the Governor the issue of the delay in his giving assent to the Bill and the amendment. If Babu Parmanand does not give his assent to the Bill and reserves it for referring to the President of India, it will mean a permanent fissure between the Governor and the Chief Minister. Earlier, the Governor, in view of the drought situation prevailing in the state, had refused to give his recommendation to a Bill enhancing facilities for
MLAs. The Bill could be placed by the government only in the next session when Babu Parmanand had agreed to approve the Bill. |
Haryana Cong assails registration of case Chandigarh, December 26 In a statement issued here today, the Secretary of the party, Mr Sat Pal Kaushik, alleged that by adopting "dictatorial" methods to recover taxes the Chataula Government was terrorising the industry for ulterior motives. He said several similar incidents had taken place in the state. The latest incident of interception of five vehicles carrying plywood on the charge of evasion of tax and the subsequent dharna in the police station by industrialists was "shameful". Mr Kaushik said no doubt to prevent evasion of tax was the responsibility of the government but it had no right to create an atmosphere of terror by registering cases against the industrialists and transporters. He said it was an irony that on the one hand the Chief Minister was visiting foreign countries and other States to invite the entrepreneurs to invest in Haryana, on the other the official machinery was harassing the industrialists already settled in the State. |
INLD drive to enrol women members Fatehabad, December 26 Ms Saini pointed out that the INLD firmly supported the demand for 33 per cent reservations for women in the state assemblies and Parliament. However, the party President Mr Om Prakash Chautala was of the view that before this was affected women should be prepared for taking an active part in politics. She said the membership drive of the women wing of the party was aimed to achieve that very objective. She pointed out that despite 33 per cent reservation for women in the panchayat raj institutions, women have not be able to function independently. This, she said, was due to lack of awareness on the part of women. She has asked all district presidents of the women wing of the INLD to launch membership drives in their respective districts and ensure that a minimum of 5,000 women were enroled as new members in each of the 90 Assembly constituencies of the state. Ms Saini also called upon them to take an active part in the social uplift of women in the society. A campaign for freeing the
society from the social evils should be launched.
Move to form Ambala corporation rejected Ambala, December 26 The state government has decided to convert the councils of Rohtak, Hisar, Panipat, Gurgaon, Ambala and Yamunanagar into corporations. This decision was already approved in the Cabinet meeting and an amendment was also made in the Municipal Council Act, 1973 in this regard to get it implemented. Some of the municipal councils have already sent their resolutions to the Director, Urban Development Department, Haryana in this regard. The Director had sent separate letters to Ambala city and Ambala Sadar Municipal Councils on December 19, in which it was asked to send the resolutions regarding converting the councils of Ambala into corporation. The rejection by Ambala city Council has ruled out possibilities of the proposed corporation. The Ambala Sadar council has also summoned its meeting on Friday to discuss over this proposal of the government. The meeting was presided by the president of the
councillor, Mr Rajinder Guddu. In the meeting 21 councillors, executive officer, Ms Jagat and secretary Dharmbir Bava were also present. The councillors who were present include Mahender
Tanwar, Sushil Aggarwal, Vijay Bhasin, Amrit Lal Jain, Ramesh Kumar, Joginder Bali, Dharampal
Chadda, Raj Kumar Sonu, Bharat Rattan, Swarn Lata, Madhu Aggarwal, Prakash
Kaur, Gurpreet Kaur, Suresh Gulati, Vimala Sharma, Chander Mohni, Prvesh

Dr Dahiya made Honorary Adviser Chandigarh, December 26 The San Francisco-based Dr Dahiya is known all over the world for the early diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. |
Tabla maestro casts a spell Hisar, December 26 Barodekar is a grandson of vocalist Padma Bhushan Hirabai Barodekar and a disciple of Ustad Allarakha Khan and Zakir Hussain. The maestro showed his extraordinary talent by playing different taals from the Punjabi, Banaras, Lucknow and Assam gharanas. Mr P.K. Das, Commissioner, Hisar Division, who was the chief guest, said in his address that it was heartening to note that artistes like Barodekar were helping preserve the great Indian classical music. He underlined the need for encouraging such maestros for bringing the traditional Indian music closer to the masses. Mr Anoop Lather, Director, Youth Welfare and Cultural Affairs, Kurukshetra University, who presided over the function, said educational institutions could play a big role in popularising classical music. |
Cadets to be
trained at Hisar Chandigarh, December 26 This was disclosed by the Deputy Director-General of the Directorate of NCC of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh, Brig D.S. Dhillon, who along with a contingent of 120 cadets of NCC had called on Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, here today before the departure of the contingent to Delhi for taking part in the Republic Day celebrations. The contingent comprised 60 cadets from Punjab, 30 from Haryana, 17 from Himachal Pradesh and 13 from
Chandigarh.The cadets presented a few cultural items which included recitation of Heer, Haryanvi dance, bhangra and NCC song. |
Couple commits suicide Jind, December 26 According to reports, Santosh took poison at her residence. She was admitted to the local General Hospital in a serious condition, where she died. Perturbed over the death of his wife Bittu jumped before a running train on the Jind-Panipat railway section and allegedly committed suicide. Domestic dispute is said to be the cause behind the suicide. The couple was married about six months ago. The police has registered a case. |
Vita ghee prices reduced Chandigarh, December 26 A spokesman for the federation said here today that the poly pack of ghee would now be available at Rs 126.75 instead of Rs 131.75.

CO 2 Needed? Just a quick question, I have a 55 gallon right now moderatly planted with alot of low light plants. Stuff like Java Fern, Java Moss, Vallisnaria, Hornwort, and Crypt. I plan on maybe adding more of the above and maybe some hygrophila aswell. these are all fairly prolific, low light plants, but im wondeirng if im going to have PH and Alkalinity issues later on down the road without CO2 to balance it out? |
You will need to monitor the tank closely when using CO2. The readings will tell you what needs to be done. |
Ok, the lack of CO2 will not be a problem. Nothing will happen just because you have a lot of plants and no CO2. Your GH will drop as the plants use the nutrients that raise it but not much more. It is only when you add CO2 that you will run into problems if you don't keep close track of parameters. |
wouldnt the over oxygenation (if there is any) of the water actually cause a rise in PH? |
Not from anything I have ever heard or seen. I have been running 80 watts over 2 ten gallon tanks for almost 2 years and the only time I see an increase in pH is when I add crushed coral to do it intentionally. I had my plants pearl which means that the water is super saturated with O2 and never an effect on the pH. |
sorry hmm im possibly thinking of lighting spacifclly or maybe i jsut have my facts mixed up. is it lighting that can change the ph during the day? but thanks for the info - so co2 is mainly a super effeicient fertilizer? so something that seachem flourish could replace it? |
Lighting mixed with CO2 injection can and will cause pH swings from day to night. When the lights are on, the plants use more CO2 and reduce the pH. When the lights are off the plants use less Co2 and the pH will increase. Most people who have pressurized CO2 have it set up on a regulator that control the pH specifically so that they don't get major pH swings. Seachem Fourish EXCEL will provide Carbon for the plants which is their main building block and is why best growth is gotten by injecting CO2. The KH of a CO2 tank or any other tank needs to be at least 2dKH in order to prevent severe negative effects from the pH changing for any reason. If you do not inject CO2 then your CO2 levels stay at a pretty steady 3ppm as this is the normal saturation of CO2 in none injected tanks. I have verified these levels at all times of the day in my tanks. |
Thanks for clearing that up, i really apreciate it. |
No rpoblem, I researched it and asked so many quesitons when I first started and got just as confused. So much for keeping aquatic plants being as simple as houseplants. |

Fit and flexibility are all here in the Arena™ Nadine 2 Piece swimsuit. • 2-piece swimsuit. - Crossback top. • Waternity® fabric: - Sunlight resistant. - Natural stretch. - Low water absorption. - Perfect fit. - Chlorine resistant. • 53% Polyester / 47% PBT. • Imported.
I'm in the water for 2 hours every day and this suit lasts forever. The material holds up so well.I like the thin straps, too.My only complaint is that the shoulder straps feel a tad short but overall, the fit is great. This is my "go to" suit from now on.
I have always been very reluctant to purchase clothing over the internet. I am used to see how it fits me before buying. In this case, I knew already Arena fits me well and I knew the size. So, just great. And great service.
The top was comfortable, however with each streamline off the wall, the top would "creep" up....felt exposed much during my swims. when you try to synch it down it rides up in the front. the bottoms where great in the front, however the back side was too wide. So if you have a wide butt and small top, this will work for you.
Didn't like the quality of the Lycra specially considering the price. Didn't like the design of the botton.

"Agee and his simple, droll watercolors return with a work that manages to be absurdist, alarming, and—just when you least expect it—poignant...Very strange, and very, very wonderful."
Starred/ Booklist
"Agee...shapes ridiculous developments into a tightly composed and satisfying picture book."
Starred/ Publishers Weekly
"...set to become [a] perennial favorite."
The New York Times
"With perfectly reasoned logic, the text unfolds like a folk tale . . . a satisfying story that adults won't mind reading again and again."
Starred/ Kirkus
"This will be especially fine for holiday story hours. Make it a tradition!"
"Another laugh-out-loud picture book from Agee...There's plenty to capture children's attention during read-alouds: the exaggerated postures and expressions of Agee's trademark cartoonlike characters; soft-hued, dynamic illustrations that fill the pages; and a fast-moving, dialogue-heavy narrative."
School Library Journal
"Jon Agee's My Rhinoceros is a genuine masterpiece. Even better, every kid will love it."
Maurice Sendak
"Jon Agee explores another complex relationship, that of child and pet...the author's matchless humor provides a happy ending that will thrill over and over again."

Born | Detroit, Michigan, United States |
May 5, 1944
Fields | Epidemiology |
Alma mater | MPH - University of Michigan M.D. - Wayne State University School of Medicine |
Known for | One of the leaders of the successful World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program. |
Lawrence "Larry" Brilliant (born May 5, 1944) is an American physician, epidemiologist, technologist, author, and the former director of Google's philanthropic arm Google.org.[1][2] Brilliant, a technology patent holder, has been CEO of two public companies and other venture backed start- ups. From 1973 to 1976, he participated in the successful World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program. In April 2009, he was chosen to oversee the "Skoll Global Threats Fund" established by eBay co-founder Jeff Skoll.[3]
Early life[edit]
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Brilliant received his undergraduate training as well as his MPH degree (Masters in Public Health) from the University of Michigan, where he worked on the staff of the Gargoyle Humor Magazine, and his M.D. from Wayne State University School of Medicine. He moved to California for his internship at the California Pacific Medical Center, and developed thyroid cancer from which he recovered. Brilliant is board certified in preventive medicine and public health.
In 1969, a group of American Indians from many different tribes, calling themselves Indians of All Tribes, occupied the Alcatraz island in San Francisco. A call went out for doctors to help a pregnant woman there give birth and Brilliant joined their occupation as unofficial doctor.[4]
After the US government forced the Indians of All Tribes off Alcatraz, Brilliant became a media darling which led to a movie company casting him in Medicine Ball Caravan—a sequel to the hit Woodstock Nation—playing a doctor in a film about a tribe of hippies who follow the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jethro Tull, and Joni Mitchell.[5] The cast was paid with airline tickets to India. Brilliant and some others cashed their tickets in and rented a bus to drive around Europe, which then turned into a relief convoy to help victims of the 1970 Bhola cyclone in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan).
Civil unrest stopped the relief caravan so he spent several years in India studying at a Himalayan ashram with Neem Karoli Baba (a Hindu sage) from whom he received the name Subramanyum. After about a year Neem Karoli Baba told Brilliant to eradicate smallpox, a project on which he would spend the next several years. A seven-page account of how Larry Brilliant eradicated smallpox in India could be found in the[clarification needed] book.[6] He participated, as a medical officer, in the World Health Organization (WHO) smallpox eradication program that in 1980 certified the global eradication of smallpox.[7]
In December 1978, he became a co-founder and chairman of Seva Foundation, an international, non-profit, health foundation. Seva's projects in places like Tibet, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Guatemala have given back sight to more than 3 million blind people through surgery, self-sufficient eye care systems, and low cost manufacturing of intraocular lenses. One important contribution of his was his helping to set up the Aravind Eye Hospital in Madurai, India.[citation needed]
When he returned to the United States, he became a professor of international health at the University of Michigan as well as starting numerous charitable and business ventures.
In 1985, he co-founded, with Stewart Brand, The Well, a prototypic online community that has been the subject of multiple books and studies. Time magazine said, "Well was a huge hit, a precursor of every online business from Amazon.com to eBay."[8]
He spent the first half of 2005 as a volunteer helping out in the tsunami in Sri Lanka and working in India with WHO in the campaign to eradicate polio.
On February 22, 2006, Google Inc. appointed him as the Executive Director of Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google,[9] a position which he held until April, 2009,[10] when he joined the Skoll Foundation, as its President, the philanthropic organization established by former eBay president Jeff Skoll.[11]
In July 2006, he was awarded the TED Prize, granting him $100,000 and 'One Wish to Change the World'[12] which he presented at TED in July 2006. As his prize nominator summed up, "'Dr. Brilliant' is a name to live up to, and he has."[13] His one wish that he presented at the conference was, "To build a powerful new early warning system to protect our world from some of its worst nightmares."[14]
In May 2013, he gave the commencement speech at Harvard School of Public Health,
On Nov. 5, 1962, the Reverend Martin Luther King visited the University of Michigan. It was a dramatic time. The world teetered on the brink of nuclear madness during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Federal troops were on patrol after the first black student was admitted to Ole Miss.
He said that "the arc of moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice".
Here is what I ask of you: Imagine that arc of history that Martin Luther King inspired is right here with us. The arc of the universe needs your help to bend it towards justice. It will not happen on its own. The arc of history will not bend towards justice without you bending it. Public health needs you to insure health for all. Seize that history. Bend that arc. I want you to leap up, to jump up and grab that arc of history with both hands, and yank it down, twist it, and bend it. Bend it towards fairness, bend it towards better health for all, bend it towards justice![15]
Personal life[edit]
Brilliant is married to Girija (formerly Elaine) and has three children: Joe, Jon, and Iris Brilliant. Girija holds a PhD in public health administration and is an equal partner in many of her husband's enterprises. Co-founder of Seva Foundation,[16] she was instrumental in the World Health Organization's smallpox eradication program.
Brilliant acted as an extra in the 1971 Bollywood movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna, which depicts hippie culture. He said, "When shooting for the song sequence 'Dum Maro Dum' (which glorifies smoking marijuana), Dev Anand was looking for certain types of foreigners..."[17] Brilliant is a featured interviewee in the 2009 feature-length documentary, Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie, as the social activist's real-life physician.

REMAINDER(3) DragonFly Library Functions Manual REMAINDER(3)NAME
remainder, remainderf, remainderl, remquo, remquof, remquol -- minimal residue functionsLIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h> double remainder(double x, double y); float remainderf(float x, float y); long double remainderl(long double x, long double y); double remquo(double x, double y, int *quo); float remquof(float x, float y, int *quo); long double remquol(long double x, long double y, int *quo);DESCRIPTION
remainder(), remainderf(), remainderl(), remquo(), remquof(), and remquol() return the remainder r := x - n*y where n is the integer near- est the exact value of x/y; moreover if |n - x/y| = 1/2 then n is even. Consequently the remainder is computed exactly and |r| <= |y|/2. But attempting to take the remainder when y is 0 or x is +-infinity is an invalid operation that produces a NaN. The remquo(), remquof(), and remquol() functions also store the last k bits of n in the location pointed to by quo, provided that n exists. The number of bits k is platform-specific, but is guaranteed to be at least 3.SEE ALSO
fmod(3), ieee(3), math(3)STANDARDS
The remainder(), remainderf(), remainderl(), remquo(), remquof(), and remquol() routines conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''). The remainder is as defined in IEEE Std 754-1985.HISTORY
The remainder() and remainderf() functions appeared in 4.3BSD and FreeBSD 2.0, respectively. The remquo(), remquof(), remquol(), and remainderl() functions were added in DragonFly 2.13. DragonFly 4.1 December 21, 2011 DragonFly 4.1

Informal Discussion
"Responsibility While Protecting"
Co-Chaired by the Minister of External Relations of Brazil and
the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on the Responsibility to Protect
United Nations Headquarters
New York, 21 February 2012
Mr. Chairman,
I would like to thank the delegation of Brazil for holding this very interesting and insightful discussion on "Responsibility while Protecting". I would also like to thank Professor Edward Luck for his comments here today. Given the recent and ongoing violence in many corners of the globe this discussion is both timely and necessary for renewing our commitment both to this institution and to humanity.
The responsibility to protect, while only recently agreed upon in the 2005 World Summit Outcome, is a concept which lies at the very heart of the responsibility of national and international governance. Today's discussion therefore provides an opportunity to discuss the three pillars of R2P and the responsibilities which exist when the international community makes the decision to intervene in order to protect civilians.
The first two pillars of R2P seek to protect through prevention, by placing primary importance on the responsibility of States to protect affected populations from grave and sustained violations of human rights and, furthermore, on the collective responsibility of the international community to provide assistance to States so as to develop the capacity necessary to discharge that responsibility. These two pillars recognize that the best and most just means for protecting populations is not through violence or military intervention but rather through understanding and preventing underlying causes of conflict and putting in place the mechanisms and institutions necessary for States and the local community to protect populations from grave injustice and violence.
The fulfillment of the first pillar requires States to protect the rights of all people and to safeguard and uphold human dignity. National and local authorities, therefore, have a responsibility to protect and provide the right to life, food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, education, an adequate standard of living, the practice of religion, the forming of families, political participation through the freedom to assemble and association, freedom of movement and the right to participate in public affairs, to name just a few (
Pacem in Terris
, 11-14).
Interconnected with the first pillar is the second pillar of R2P which requires the international community to assist States to develop the capacities necessary for protecting their populations against grave violations of human rights and the effects of humanitarian crises. This requires that the international community work to provide financial, technical and juridical support. This pillar also requires that the international community strive for a more just and equitable trade system, fulfill internationally agreed commitments, create the mechanisms and institutions necessary for responding quickly to prevent or mediate humanitarian situations, promote the rule of law and work to alleviate extreme poverty.
Then, in the exceptional instance that the first two pillars of action fail to protect a population, the international community, acting in complete unity of purpose, has a responsibility as the last recourse to intervene to protect populations from grave harm. This pillar, while often the most contentious, too often is focused purely on the use of force as the only means for intervention. However, true intervention must place greater emphasis on the use of non-violent means of intervention such as the use of mediation, arbitration, dialogue and carefully targeted sanctions which are aimed at preventing violence instead of harming civilian populations.
Only after we have fulfilled or undertaken the above requirements should the use of force as the mode of intervention even begin to be considered. In undertaking this decision to use force, the international community must exercise its prudential judgment to assess the potential damage inflicted by the aggressor, demonstrate that all other means are impractical or ineffective, assess the likelihood of success and ensure that any intervention through use of force does not produce a situation graver than the one to be eliminated (
Catechism of the Catholic Church
, 2309). In this regard, "it is good to recall that even the use of force in keeping with the United Nations rules should be a temporary solution, a true emergency measure, accompanied and followed by a concrete commitment to pacification" (Statement of Archbishop Dominique Mamberti to the 66th Session of the General Assembly, 27 September 2011).
However, there is always a concern that the principle of R2P "may be invoked in certain circumstances as a pretext to use military force" (Ibid.). In this sense, the obligations and decision-making tasks of the Security Council and of the General Assembly, as provided by the UN Charter, must be respected as they constitute provisions of international law voluntarily accepted by all States. The effective implementation of the principle of R2P therefore, must not break or circumvent the international standards, but rather it should open a broad debate to complete and, if necessary, improve the rules and mechanisms of the UN Charter so as to give all States a shared voice in the decision-making process and to provide greater legitimacy to their political, juridical and economic decisions.
Today, we are here to discuss how to build upon the responsibility to protect by recognizing the international community's' "responsibilities while protecting." When the international community makes the decision to intervene through the use of force they must do so in accordance with the laws and principles governing the law of war (
jus in bello
). This requires that any use of force, even in the name of the protection of civilians, distinguish between combatants and non-combatants, ensure that the intervention is proportionate to the objective aim of the intervention, protect people and property from unnecessary destruction and hardship and uphold the requirements as contained in the Geneva Conventions. "Moreover, the long and generally successful history of peacekeeping operations and the more recent initiatives in peace-building can offer valuable lessons for developing models for implementing the responsibility to protect with full respect for international law and the legitimate interests of all parties involved" (Ibid.).
The recent interventions, in both lethal and non-lethal forms, around the world by the international community demonstrate the inherent need to establish a more inclusive, accountable and transparent decision-making process so that the aims and extent of an intervention are clearly established and that implementation of the decision is proportionate to the stated aim. Failure to make such institutional and substantive reforms risks undercutting the principle of the responsibility to protect or the responsibility while protecting, paralyzes the international community's ability to reach consensus and undermines the realization of our obligation to protect people from the most grave and sustained violations of human rights.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Breaking Burton C16 Binding
So I've worn my Burton C16's for a total of about 15 days on the mountain. After about day 8 or so the cushion backing on both bindings started separating from the plastic/carbon backing. The paint has also started chipping and the material has started peeling on the straps. Those are likely just from usage, and are fine, but it seems to me the backing shouldn't be coming apart on a top of the line binding.
Has anyone had experience dealing with Burton on something like this? It seems like they're decent people to work with so I'm hoping I can get these repaired/replaced before our last big trip of the season. Thanks for any feedback. |

Thanks for the response. It's good to know that people have run into similar problems with other products and the respective company has come through for them. Hopefully Burton will do the same. Anyone dealt specifically with Burton on something like this? Thanks.
