Access to Health (10th edition)by Rebecca J. Donatelle
Donatelle (public health, Oregon State University) challenges undergraduate students to think globally as they consider health risks and personal health decisions. New opportunities for self-assessment and behavior change are offered in this edition, in the form of behavior change contracts and boxes on tattoos, safer sex, and club drugs. There is expanded information on the mind-body connection and alternative medicine, as well as new coverage of contraceptive devices and weight management.

The Act of Thinkingby Derek Melser
Melser argues that the core assumption of both folk psychology and cognitive science that thinking goes on in the head is mistaken. He argues that thinking is not an intracranial process of any kind, mental or neural, but is rather a learned action of the person.
Acting in Real Timeby Paul Binnerts
Acting in Real Time by renowned Dutch director and acting teacher Paul Binnerts describes his method for Real-Time Theater, which authorizes actors to actively determine how a story is told---they are no longer mere vehicles for delivering the playwright's message or the director's interpretations of the text. This level of involvement allows actors to deepen their grasp of the material and amplify their stage presence, resulting in more engaged and nuanced performances. The method offers a postmodern challenge to Stanislavski and Brecht, whose theories of stage realism dominated the twentieth century. In providing a new way to consider the actor's presence on stage, Binnerts advocates breaking down the "fourth wall" that separates audiences and actors and has been a central tenet of acting theories associated with realism. In real-time theater, actors forgo attempts to become characters and instead understand their function to be storytellers who are fully present on stage and may engage the audience and their fellow actors directly. Paul Binnerts analyzes the ascendance of realism as the dominant theater and acting convention and how its methods can hinder the creation of a more original, imaginative theater. His description of the techniques of real-time theater is illuminated by practical examples from his long experience in the stage. The book then offers innovative exercises that provide training in the real-time technique, including physical exercises that help the actor become truly present in performance. Acting in Real Time also includes a broad overview of the history of acting and realism's relationship to the history of theater architecture, offering real-time theater as an alternative. The book will appeal to actors and acting students, directors, stage designers, costume designers, lighting designers, theater historians, and dramaturgs.
Acting in the Cinemaby James Naremore
James Naremore focuses on the work of film acting, showing what players contribute to movies. Ranging from the earliest short subjects of Charles Chaplin to the contemporary features of Robert DeNiro, he develops a useful means of analyzing performance in the age of mechanical reproduction.
Acting with Technology: Activity Theory and Interaction Designby Victor Kaptelinin Bonnie A. Nardi
Activity theory holds that the human mind is the product of our interaction with people and artifacts in the context of everyday activity. Acting with Technology makes the case for activity theory as a basis for understanding our relationship with technology. Victor Kaptelinin and Bonnie Nardi describe activity theory's principles, history, relationship to other theoretical approaches, and application to the analysis and design of technologies. The book provides the first systematic entry-level introduction to the major principles of activity theory. It describes the accumulating body of work in interaction design informed by activity theory, drawing on work from an international community of scholars and designers. Kaptelinin and Nardi examine the notion of the object of activity, describe its use in an empirical study, and discuss key debates in the development of activity theory. Finally, they outline current and future issues in activity theory, providing a comparative analysis of the theory and its leading theoretical competitors within interaction design: distributed cognition, actor-network theory, and phenomenologically inspired approaches.
Action in Perceptionby Alva Noë
"Perception is not something that happens to us, or in us," writes Alva Noë. "It is something we do." In Action in Perception, Noë argues that perception and perceptual consciousness depend on capacities for action and thought -- that perception is a kind of thoughtful activity. Touch, not vision, should be our model for perception. Perception is not a process in the brain, but a kind of skillful activity of the body as a whole. We enact our perceptual experience.
Action Research Essentialsby Dorothy Valcarcel Craig
Action Research Essentials is a practical guide born of the author's own experience working with students in the social sciences and education, providing a step-by-step outline of how to "do" action research--backed by the most extensive theory and research coverage on the market today. The author guides future researcher/practitioners through the action research process via numerous concrete illustrations and a wealth of on-line resources; positioning it as a fundamental component of practice, A key and unique strength of the book is its outreach to a much larger breadth of students than usually found in action research books. This book will illustrate all the steps in action research using examples from education, social work, psychology, sociology, nursing, medicine, and counseling. The structure of the book is intended as the sole textbook for a course devoted to naturalistic inquiry, practitioner research, or beginning qualitative methods, or can complement a general research course.

Adam Smith And The Character Of Virtueby Ryan Patrick Hanley
Recent years have witnessed a renewed debate over the costs at which the benefits of free markets have been bought. This book revisits the moral and political philosophy of Adam Smith, capitalism's founding father, to recover his understanding of the morals of the market age. In so doing it illuminates a crucial albeit overlooked side of Smith's project: his diagnosis of the ethical ills of commercial societies and the remedy he advanced to cure them. Focusing on Smith's analysis of the psychological and social ills endemic to commercial society - anxiety and restlessness, inauthenticity and mediocrity, alienation and individualism - it argues that Smith sought to combat corruption by cultivating the virtues of prudence, magnanimity, and beneficence. The result constitutes a new morality for modernity, at once a synthesis of commercial, classical, and Christian virtues and a normative response to one of the most pressing political problems of Smith's day and ours. Ryan Patrick Hanley is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Marquette University. His research in the history of political philosophy has appeared in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, the Review of Politics, History of Political Thought, the European Journal of Political Theory, and other academic journals and edited volumes. He is also the editor of the forthcoming Penguin Classics edition of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, featuring an introduction by Amartya Sen, and a co-editor, with Darrin McMahon, of The Enlightenment: Critical Concepts in History.

Addiction and Change: How Addictions Develop and Addicted People Recoverby Carlo C. Diclemente
DiClemente (psychology, University of Maryland) views addiction as a process of intentional behavior change, and defines the four steps in his transtheoretical model: contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. He then proposes that the same process marks the path to addiction as it does for recovery, and suggest ways to tailor interventions to persons at different points in the change process.

Addiction as an Attachment Disorderby Philip J. Flores
From the Foreword: "Addiction is a disorder in self-regulation. Individuals who become dependent on addictive substances cannot regulate their emotions, self-care, self-esteem, and relationships. In this monumental and illuminating text Philip Flores covers all the reasons why this is so. But it is the domain of interpersonal relations that he makes clear why individuals susceptible to substance use disorders (SUDs) are especially vulnerable. His emphasis on addiction as an attachment disorder is principally important because he provides extensive scholarly and clinical insights as to why certain vulnerable individuals so desperately need to substitute chemical solutions and connections for human ones. The strength of Flores's paradigm of addiction as an attachment disorder is that it is a theory that effectively and wisely guides treatment, but at the same time, when properly implemented or practiced, the treatment resonates with and further enhances the theory. Flores's work here is an extraordinary one because, in parsimonious and clear language, he makes a major contribution to the literature and practice of effective psychotherapy in general and effective psychotherapy for the addictions in particular. He fills in all the gaps between theory and practice covering wide and ranging issues of what practice and empirical findings have to teach about the critical ingredients of AA, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy. This is a job well done because it helps students and experienced clinicians alike to always be mindful of how they bring their humanity to the distress and suffering of others. His theory of addiction as an attachment disorder makes it particularly clear how especially important this is for those suffering with addictive disorders. " --Edward J. Khantzian, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
Adjudicating Climate Change: State, National, and International Approachesby William C. G. Burns Hari M. Osofsky
Courts have emerged as a crucial battleground in efforts to regulate climate change. Over the past several years, tribunals at every level of government around the world have seen claims regarding greenhouse gas emissions and impacts. These cases rely on diverse legal theories, but all focus on government regulation of climate change or the actions of major corporate emitters. This book explores climate actions in state and national courts, as well as international tribunals, in order to explain their regulatory significance. It demonstrates the role that these cases play in broader debates over climate policy and argues that they serve as an important force in pressuring governments and emitters to address this crucial problem. As law firms and public interest organizations increasingly develop climate practice areas, the book serves as a crucial resource for practitioners, policymakers, and academics.

Adventures among Ants: A Global Safari with a Cast of Trillionsby Mark W. Moffett
Intrepid international explorer, biologist, and photographer Mark W. Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett's spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human--including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world's most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception. * Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity * Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics * Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food

Aeschylus I: Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides (The Complete Greek Tragedies #1)by Aeschylus David Grene Richmond Lattimore
"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."--Robert Brustein, The New Republic. "This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."--Kenneth Rexroth, The Nation. "The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary.... They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."--Times Education Supplement. "These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."--Warren D. Anderson, American Oxonian. "The critical commentaries and the versions themselves... are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."--Commonwealth. "Grene is one of the great translators."--Conor Cruise O'Brien, London Sunday Times. "Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."--Dudley Fitts, New York Times Book Review.
Aesthetic Nervousness: Disability and the Crisis of Representationby Ato Quayson
Focusing primarily on the work of Samuel Beckett, Toni Morrison, Wole Soyinka, and J. M. Coetzee, Ato Quayson launches a thoroughly cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study of the representation of physical disability. Quayson suggests that the subliminal unease and moral panic invoked by the disabled is refracted within the structures of literature and literary discourse itself, a crisis he terms "aesthetic nervousness." The disabled reminds the able-bodied that the body is provisional and temporary and that normality is wrapped up in certain social frameworks. Quayson expands his argument by turning to Greek and Yoruba writings, African American and postcolonial literature, depictions of deformed characters in early modern England and the plays of Shakespeare, and children's films, among other texts. He looks at how disability affects interpersonal relationships and forces the character and the reader to take an ethical standpoint, much like representations of violence, pain, and the sacred. The disabled are also used to represent social suffering, inadvertently obscuring their true hardships.
Africa and the World Trade Organizationby Richard E. Mshomba
Mshomba provides a systematic study of Africa as it relates to the World Trade Organization. He examines the WTO's enforcement mechanism; the WTO's broadened mandate, illustrated by the Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights; agriculture in the Doha Round; issues relating to transparency in government procurement; and the endeavor to streamline assistance to developing countries through an "Aid for Trade" initiative. The author integrates theory and practice, with a clear presentation of important economic concepts. He provides a rigorous analysis of key issues and proposals. He presents African countries as having an important role to play in the WTO, especially as they actively engage in bargaining through various coalitions. Mshomba acknowledges that WTO negotiations will always be complex and at times contentious due to wide economic and political differences between countries. He views the differences, however, as creating opportunities for a mutually beneficial exchange of goods, services, and ideas.

Financing climate change
One of the key findings of the review is that the additional investment and financial flows in 2030 to address climate change amounts to 0.3 to 0.5% of global domestic product in 2030 and 1.1 - 1.7% of global investment in 2030.
This is a small amount in overall global figures but large compared to the currently available public and private financial resources for climate change (including the ones available under the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol). Current levels of funding will be insufficient to address the future financial flows estimated to be needed for adaptation and mitigation under a strengthened future climate change deal post 2012.
a. For mitigation
Mitigation measures needed to return global greenhouse gas emissions to current levels by 2030, require a small increase in global investments and financial flows: between USD 200-210 billion per annum in 2030.
In many sectors, such as the power generation sector or industry, the lifetime of capital stock can be thirty years or even more. Total investment in new physical assets is projected to triple between 2000 and 2030. Due to rapid economic growth, a large share of these investments will occur in developing countries. Investments should focus on new facilities in many of these sectors.
Particularly in the energy sector, huge investment flows are needed. For energy supply: USD 432 billion is projected to be invested annually into the power sector. Of this amount, USD 148 billion needs to be shifted to renewables, Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS), nuclear and hydro. Investment into fossil fuel supply is expected to continue to grow, but at a reduced rate.
Investment flows to developing countries are estimated at about 46% of the total needed in 2030. The resulting emission reductions achieved by these countries in 2030 would amount to 68% of global emission reductions.
Failure to achieve changes in investment and financial flows for mitigation will lead to unsustainable development paths and "lock-in" effects for the next 20-30 years. This will lead to higher emissions, more climate change impacts, and larger investment and financial flows needs for adaptation in the longer-term.
b. For adaptation
The review found that for adaptation, additional investment and financial flows needed for in 2030 amount to several billions of USD. No precise global figure is available at present and further analysis on this needs to be conducted. These figures are indicative and may represent the lower bound of the amount actually required.
Particular attention for developing countries
Particular attention will need to be given to developing countries, as, while only 20-25 per cent of investment currently occurs in developing countries, due to expected rapid economic growth, a large share of investment and financial flows will be needed in developing countries:
* Because of their economic growth, the energy demand in developing countries will hugely increase;
* Investment flows to developing countries is estimated at about 46% of the total needed in 2030. The resulting emission reductions achieved by those countries in 2030 would amount to 68% of global emission reductions;
* Additional investment and financial flows for adaptation in developing countries is estimated between USD 28 to 67 billion.
Current financial mechanisms of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) are insufficient
* The Global Environment Facility(GEF) operates the financial mechanism under the Convention on an on-going basis, subject to review every four years.
* A Special Climate Change Fund, which complements other funding mechanisms and exists to finance projects relating to:
* capacity-building
* adaptation
* technology transfer
* climate change mitigation and economic diversification for countries highly dependent on income from fossil fuels.
* A Least Developed Countries Fund intended to support a special work programme to assist the LDCs.
* An Adaptation Fund became operational with the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol in 2008:
* To finance practical adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries and support capacity-building activities.
* Funded from an adaptation levy (2%) on Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects.

Thanks to Ann Gibson Microgardener:
Sounds like a great set up you will have David. Pics would be nice too :)
I am breeding Golden Legbars and Anconas as most back yard chooks last for 2 seasons and then egg production is down I want to have Good but not stupendous producers that will last 4 years plus for families so kids can have productive pets for longer. I used to have Dorkings but as the tend to go broody they don't fit the bill for a average backyard chook.
I try and have my breeders close to the house and the others up near the neighbours' fences so they don't have the rooster noise so bad.
I am working to have 8 pens for the worker hens so I can rotate them through and grow vegies in the other 7 pens. I just need time so I can get them done.
My neighbour is selling her chook run. See HERE for details.
Methinks we need to move this conversation to the futures group (or just start a new thread). I'd like a monthly e-get together.
Live chat could be good, especially for those who can't make it to a get together.
Ah its time like these - both on here at the same time - when we need "chat" (which btw we could have!)
ignore that, al fixed now
It worked just then, the previous ones I got a message saying "Your post has been marked as spam and will be checked/approved by a moderator".
Are you able to remove one discussion as I've added a new one since and doubled up? Can you delete "Where to buy - Info"
Great group Stevo! What does the message say when you try to post a discussion? I'm not sure what's going on, but I marked your posts as 'not spam' from the spam folder - let's see what happens in future posts!

U.S. career
As Nazi Germany extended its sphere of influence in the late 1930s and Hungary appeared in imminent danger of capitulation, Bartók found it impossible to remain there. After a second concert tour of the United States in 1940, he immigrated there the same year. An appointment as research assistant in music at Columbia University, New York City, enabled him to continue working with folk music, transcribing and editing for publication a collection of Serbo-Croatian women's songs, a part of a much larger recorded collection of Balkan folk music. With his wife, the pianist Ditta Pásztory, he was able to give a few concerts. His health, however, was never very strong and had begun to deteriorate even before his arrival in the United States.
Bartók's last years were marked by the ravages of leukemia, which often prevented him from teaching, lecturing, or performing. Nonetheless, he was able to compose the Concerto for Orchestra (1943), the Sonata for violin solo (1944), and all but the last measures of the Piano Concerto No. 3 (1945). When he died, his last composition, a viola concerto, was left an uncompleted mass of sketches (completed by Tibor Serly, 1945).
The significance of Béla Bartók lies in four major areas of music—composition, performance, pedagogy, and ethnomusicology. As a composer of a stature equaled by few in the first half of the 20th century, he fused the essence of Hungarian and related folk music with traditional music to achieve a style that was at once nationalistic and deeply personal. As a pianist he gave concerts in Europe and the United States, disseminating the newer Hungarian music. As a teacher he helped train generations of pianists, both Hungarian and foreign. And as an ethnomusicologist he was one of the first to examine folk music with attention to its historical and sociological implications. He helped to lay the foundations for the study of comparative musical folklore in Hungary and published several important book-length studies of Hungarian and Romanian folk music. The composer's son Peter, a recording engineer (from 1949) who worked with Folkways Records, was a crucial figure in the dissemination of American folk and avant-garde music on LP records.
Though Béla Bartók's music was infrequently performed outside Hungary during his lifetime, many of his compositions, including the string quartets and the Concerto for Orchestra, later entered the standard concert repertory. Within a quarter century after his death, many of Bartók's works had been recognized as belonging among the classics of Western music.
The composer's writings, especially on folk music, were compiled and edited by Benjamin Suchoff in Béla Bartók Essays (1976, reissued 1993) and Béla Bartók Studies in Ethnomusicology (1997). Hundreds of Bartók's letters and relevant documents were collected and edited by Demény János (János Demény) in several books, most in Hungarian. Nearly 300 of these, also edited by Demény, appear in English in Béla Bartók Letters (1971).

Essential Information
While degree programs in HVAC engineering are rare, HVAC engineering courses are offered through some mechanical engineering (ME) bachelor's degree programs as well as through continuing education and certificate programs. Degree training typically covers HVAC design with an emphasis on safety, efficiency and teamwork with project managers. Non-degree programs usually require completion of 4-5 courses that cover theory and principles of HVAC engineering. Optional certifications are available to HVAC professionals, as are graduate-level ME programs.
Education Prerequisites
Admissions requirements to ME bachelor's degree programs commonly include a high school diploma and completion of specific college-prep courses. Admission to some non-degree programs is open to all applicants, while other programs require applicants to have already completed a bachelor's degree. Some HVAC courses require completion of prerequisite coursework in math, science and engineering.
Course Topics
ME bachelor's degree programs include broad academic coursework in addition to the core HVAC subjects they share in common with non-degree programs. Program curricula typically include the following subjects:
- Thermodynamics
- Heating technologies
- Refrigeration cycles
- Psychrometric analysis
- Electrical load computation
- Energy calculations
- Air flow and balancing
- Air handling equipment
- Pumps and piping systems
Popular Career Options
Programs such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) have increased the emphasis on energy efficiency and occupant safety when designing buildings. HVAC engineers play key roles in designing systems that support this emphasis. Possible careers include the following:
- Mechanical engineer
- Environmental solutions engineer
- Test and balance engineer
- Design engineer
Continuing Education Information
Interested candidates may seek professional certification as a High-Performance Building Design Professional, offered by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Applicants for initial certification must pass an examination. Certification credentials need to be renewed every three years; this process requires applicants to prove that they have earned a certain number of continuing education credits.
Students may continue their formal education by pursuing an advanced degree, such as the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME).

My Gram Perkins passed down several recipes to me through the years. I keep most of them in a recipe book my mother compiled of family recipes. From Chocolate Pie to Thanksgiving dressing, Gram Perkins' delicious Southern dishes continue to make their way onto my table—always tasting amazing, but not quite as good as when she made them.
One of the simplest (and most beloved) recipes she gave to me was for egg salad, featuring homemade Fourteen-Day Pickles (also known as sweet or bread-and-butter pickles). I think of it as one of the ultimate comfort foods. When I was a child, Gram Perkins often served it to me as a summer lunch or afternoon snack. I have vivid memories of sitting in her kitchen, watching her prepare her famous egg salad sandwich for me—always with extra pickles in a jar on the table.
After my Gram Perkins passed away, my granddaddy, lovingly known as Perk, continued making the famous Fourteen-Day Pickles. My mother carries on the family tradition today by gifting pints of these treasures every holiday season. Egg salad is definitely better with this homemade version but there are great bread-and-butter pickles available on the market today that you can use for your homemade egg salad. We recently taste tested the Blackberry Farm version and found it delicious.
No one really knows when egg salad itself was created, but it became a popular luncheon salad in the early 1800s, after French chef Marie-Antoine Carême invented mayonnaise as we know it today. A sister to tuna and chicken salad, egg salad is a nice option for those looking for a simple lunch, packed with protein.
We've started serving Gram Perkins' egg salad in The Factory Café, complete with homemade pickles, made from her recipe. Stop by for lunch (new menu below) and try it on whole wheat sourdough toast, served with julienned honey crisp apples. (Trust me—the pairing of eggs and apples is delicious.)

Schumacher 'medical' documents stolen: management
Published on Jun 24, 2014 4:09 PM
GENEVA (AFP) - Documents relating to Michael Schumacher have been stolen, the Formula One star's management said Monday, with the thieves claiming them to be medical records about his coma from a devastating ski crash in December.
"For several days stolen documents and data are being offered for sale. The offeror claims them to be the medical file of Michael Schumacher," the German's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said in a statement.
"We cannot judge if these documents are authentic. However, the documents are clearly stolen. The theft has been reported. The authorities are involved," she added.
Kehm warned against either the purchase or the publication of the data, stressing: "The contents of any medical files are totally private and confidential and must not made available to the public." She vowed to sue "against any publication of the content or reference to the medical file." Schumacher was transferred from a French hospital to a facility in Switzerland earlier this month after emerging from a coma.

The sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to ex-Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has been completed, the NBA announced on its website Tuesday morning.
Related: Ballmer on NBA in Seattle
The NBA Board of Governors had previously approved the $2 billion deal, which was officially and quickly closed after a California court issued an order confirming the authority of Shelly Sterling to sell the team on behalf of the Sterling Family Trust, the league said. Shelly Sterling was the sole trustee after her husband, Donald Sterling, was found mentally incapacitated by two doctors and subsequently removed as a co-trustee.
The price paid for the Clippers by Ballmer is the most ever for an NBA franchise.
I am humbled and honored to be the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Ballmer said in a statement. Clipper fans are so amazing. They have remained fiercely loyal to our franchise through some extraordinary times. I will be hard core in giving the team, our great coach, staff and players the support they need to do their best work on the court. And we will do whatever necessary to provide our fans and their families with the best game-night experience in the NBA.
The sale comes after a flurry of litigation filed by Donald Sterling in an effort to derail the deal. He fought his removal as co-trustee and filed two other lawsuits one contending his wife and Ballmer violated corporate law and the other seeking more than $1 billion in damages from the NBA.
But it was the fight over the Sterling family trust that mattered most to closing the deal, and Shelly Sterling scored a clean sweep over her husband on July 28 when a California Superior Court Judge Micheal Levanas concluded that Shelly Sterling had followed the rules of the trust and met her fiduciary responsibility to her husband.
Rochelle's testimony was far and away more credible than Donald, Levanas said in issuing an oral opinion. Donald's answers were often evasive and, in one instance, were inconsistent with his previous testimony.
While the sale may not end all the litigation, it should end any potential controversy involving Clippers players, who had talked about a possible boycott if Donald Sterling was still the owner when the 2014-15 season starts in October. Coach Doc Rivers, who also had discussed the possibility of resigning if a change in ownership did not occur, called Tuesday's sale an amazing new day in Clippers history.
I couldn't be more excited to work together with Steve as we continue to build a first-class, championship organization, said Rivers, who is also president of basketball operations. I am already inspired by Steve's passion for the game, his love of competition and desire to win the right way and I know our players and fans are going to be inspired as well.
Silver had said the league would move to strip the Sterlings' ownership if the sale was not final by Sept. 15.

On June 26, 2013, New York's City Council overrode Mayor Michael Bloomberg's veto and adopted the "Earned Sick Time Act," making New York City the largest municipality in the country requiring employers to provide paid medical leave. The far-reaching law requires that employers provide up to five days (80 hours) of paid medical leave per year to employees. Provided that certain economic thresholds are met, the law will presumably go into effect on April 1, 2014 for businesses with 20 or more employees. Notwithstanding a number of narrow exceptions (e.g., government workers, independent contractors, and manufacturing employees), the law applies to any employee who works in New York City at least 80 hours per year.
Sick time is accrued at the rate of one hour per every 30 hours worked, and may be used for:
(1) an employee's physical or mental illness or medical care; (2) the physical or mental illness or medical care of a spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent; or (3) declared public health emergencies that result in the closure of a place of business, school, or childcare provider. Employers may request advance written notice when the use of sick time is foreseeable. After three days of absence, employers may also request documentation from the employee confirming the use of sick time. Employers may also require a reasonable minimum increment of the sick time to be used, provided that it does not exceed four hours. Accrued sick time is carried over to the following calendar year; however, employees may not use more than five days (or 40 hours) of leave per calendar year. With certain exceptions, sick time is paid at the employee's regular rate of pay. The law also requires that a notice be posted in English and any languages spoken by at least five percent of the workforce.
For businesses that already provide at least five days of medical leave per year, including through a valid collective bargaining agreement, no change in policy is required. However, for all other New York City employers, the law will require that they alter their attendance policies prior to April 2014. Although there is no private right of action under the new law, the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs may seek lost wages, as well as civil penalties. Employers are therefore advised to begin their compliance efforts sooner rather than later.

Amy Musia's art comes in many forms | PHOTOS
A woman of considerable passion and talent, artist Amy Musia first discovered her love of art during college, when a friend suggested she take a class on the subject.
Musia had actually been pursuing a degree in bookkeeping, but she loved her art classes so much that she decided that was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Today, her artworks can be seen locally, nationally, and internationally.
"No matter what medium I work in, nature is my muse," she said. Musia's West Side studio, where she is constantly generating different proposals and ideas, overlooks a picturesque lake surrounded by trees—an excellent location for someone so inspired by the natural world.
Though perhaps best known by West Siders for her sculptural works around Evansville and the surrounding area, Musia is proficient in a variety of mediums, which gives her a sense of flexibility.
"Working in a lot of different mediums, I really have no limitations. Only within myself I have those limitations," she said. "Every medium relates to each other.
"I think you lose a lot in your creativity if you limit yourself [to a specific medium]," she added. "Not everything you design is going to be the best in the medium that you know how to work in. It's going to be the best maybe in something you don't know how to work in."
Though Musia enjoys doing two-dimensional work, she finds that working in the three-dimensional realm of sculpture appeals to her the most.
"You can take something and manipulate it to make it look like an ice cream cone. I think that's fun!" she exclaimed. "You really have to let your mind expand to get within [a three-dimensional] piece," said Musia.
Whether she's working on a commission for a client or something more personal, Musia's process involves extensive research. When "taking a company philosophy and [[...]] putting it into tangible form," it's important to know the history, character, and goals of the company. She relies on sketches, machettes ( in-the-round miniatures of the proposed sculpture) and computer graphics to work out her ideas and communicate them to clients.
Symbolism also figures prominently in her artwork. Many of her column pieces contain symbolic meaning. Her column piece "Story Tools," which was commissioned by Central Library, is ringed with a band of golden Egyptian hieroglyphics which translates to "Public library: discover your world."
"What a wonderful blank tapestry [a column] is. You can put any story on there," said Musia. She chose white as the base color because of its symbolic purity, and because of its ability to accentuate the forms without overpowering them.
"It's like looking at white clouds in a blue sky," she explained. "You can see the shadows, you can see those subtleties and shapes."
"I don't think I've taken it where I need to take it yet," she said of her column artworks. "I think I've only literally touched on the surface of it."
"It's exciting to create those new ideas and new thoughts," explained Musia. "Artwork is kind of like a puzzle. It's a puzzle you create, especially sculpture. You have to answer the question 'How do I make it and put it in a tangible form, and take it out of the ordinary?'"
Currently, Musia is working on several commissioned projects, including a piece for Berry Plastics, Deaconess Gateway Hospital, and several others.

About Me
I moved to NYC at 19 to pursue artistic talents; contemporary dance, oil painting and modeling. Fortunately I was able to be somewhat successful in each endeavor. Last January I moved to San Diego and absolutely love it here! The beach especially!
I teach painting classes in La Jolla, model, and am an experienced event planner. My Mac crashed several months ago with my entire portfolio- so I'm in the works of rebuilding it now. I'm very diverse in modeling styles and am open to ideas! The more artistic the better.
My art website can be viewed at www.staciabanta.com if interested. I also founded a non-profit for underprivileged children in NYC. We organize and teach art courses, taught my established and up and coming artists. The children are amazing! Anyone interested in being a part or contributing please let me know!! www.nycchildrensartfund.org
Thanks and I hope to work with you soon.

"We have no knowledge of [the grand jury] one way or the other," Rusty Hardin, one of Clemens's attorneys, said Monday morning. "All I have heard is rumors from people saying something. But we have had no contact with anyone about it, and have no idea.''
Federal agents also have interviewed friends and acquaintances of Clemens in Houston over the past year, and it is possible some of them could be invited to Washington.
A Houston training center owner, Shaun Kelley, told The Associated Press Monday that he had been questioned by the FBI last April and denied meeting Clemens or providing the pitcher or any of the pitcher's associates with illegal substances. Kelley said he employed Clemens's stepsister Bonnie Owens for about a year.
Kelley said neither he nor his lawyers had been contacted by the grand jury.
"It is just not fair for me, because they just come down here and throw me under the bus, and I lose half-a-million of business," Kelley said Monday in a telephone interview with the AP.
"I know in my heart I passed it," he said of the polygraph, "but the FBI is not known for admitting their mistakes."
Another possibility is former Clemens teammate Pettitte. He and another former New York Yankees teammate, Chuck Knoblauch, confirmed McNamee's testimony that they used performance-enhancing drugs when he was their trainer.
Pettitte provided a sworn affidavit to a congressional committee, in which he claimed Clemens told him nearly 10 years ago that he used growth hormone. Pressed to address Pettitte's statement during the committee hearing, Clemens said Pettitte had "misremembered."
The grand jury is also likely to consider DNA samples on used needles and bloody gauze pads McNamee turned over to federal prosecutors last January. McNamee's lawyers have claimed he used those needles and gauze pads while injecting Clemens with steroids and HGH. Clemens's side has called that evidence "manufactured."
McNamee's lawyer, Richard Emery, said Monday his client has not been called as a grand jury witness or received a subpoena. But he does expect McNamee to testify again.
"We will be cooperating. We've been in contact with the federal authorities for a year and a half," Emery said, according to The Associated Press. "We look forward to the results, which we fully expect will show that Brian has been telling the truth all along."
Additional evidence for jurors to review could come from Radomski, a former New York Mets clubhouse attendant who was a source of the performance-enhancing drugs that McNamee provided to a number of players. In July, Radomski turned over to federal investigators an overnight shipping receipt for a package of two kits of HGH that he sent after the 2002 season, in care of McNamee, to Clemens at the pitcher's Houston home.
"The investigators knew from day one that I sent a package to Clemens's house," Radomski told ESPN.com last summer after discovering he still had the receipt. "They knew before the Mitchell report was released and before Brian went before Congress. So, this is nothing new to them.
"I just couldn't find the receipt."
Federal agents raided Radomski's Long Island home in December 2005, uncovering evidence that he supplied anabolic steroids and other drugs to pro baseball players. Radomski said he knew the performance-enhancing drugs sold to McNamee were intended for his baseball-playing clients, though he didn't inquire about their identities.

Altogether, the tax collected for 2012-13 is Rs.756 crore as compared to Rs.574 crore, the preceding year.
These details were presented before the meeting held by GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu on Monday. In the next three months, the meeting decided to target property owners who had not paid tax for the last four years.
Each bill collector would be given two assistants so as to ensure strict tax compliance from commercial and higher middle class properties. Property tax revision petitions would be taken up in all circles from April 15 to May second week.
GIS mapping and door-to-door survey would be taken up for bringing the under and un-assessed properties into the tax net.
It was also decided to speed up issuance of trade licences while the town planning wing was asked to take up a campaign to warn citizens about unauthorised constructions.

Taking tips, chasing leads, and solving problems
New technology can help consumers avoid robo calls
Most consumers have already heard the traditional tips to avoiding robo calls: Get caller ID. Don't answer the phone when you don't recognize the number. Don't call back to speak to a live person. Get on the do-not-call list. But sometimes, that's not enough to stop the calls.
So I was happy to discover some new technology-based tricks, thanks to a story in the Sun-Herald. It had a list of tips from consumers who submitted their tips to avoid robocalls to the Federal Trade Commission's Robocall Challenge that ended earlier this year.
Here's a list of those tips, as well as a couple of my own:
- If you have a cell phone, block the robocaller: Under your call settings, you may have an option such as "call rejection." When you get an unwanted call, add the number to your "auto reject list."
If you don't have the option to block calls straight from your cell phone, you can download a call blocker app. Many are free, but they don't work equally well, so check a tech site for user reviews before you download.
- If you have a landline, ask your phone carrier about blocking services. Some let you block specific numbers. Note: There may be a fee for this service.
- Some consumers have had success using "special information tones" at the beginning of their voicemails or on their answering machines. That's the three-note sound that usually indicates a failed call or disconnected number. You can download free audio files with the tones online or buy products such as TeleZapper. Consumers who had luck using these tones say they make the auto-dialing software think your number isn't working.
- Use a virtual phone line, such as GoogleVoice. It has built-in call-screening features. You can set up the phone number with call forwarding so incoming calls are screened first, then sent to your cell phone or landline.
- Some internet-based phone services offered by national carriers allow you to tag a number. When a call comes in from that number, the caller gets a "disconnected number" tone.
- If you have a landline, consider buying a call-blocker device. They can be pricy, so compare reviews and options before you buy.
- If you want to be even stricter in screening your cell phone calls, you can completely block incoming calls from strangers, i.e. anyone who's not on your "allowed" list. Be careful about this, though. You may one day get calls from a hospital, government worker or authorities that you don't want to miss.
Speaking of the GoogleVoice feature, a similar service is under development. It was one of the winners of the Robocall Challenge and is called Nomorobo. As far as I can tell, it's only conceptual at this point so it's not available for subscription or purchasing (patent is pending.) However, it shows promise if it works as the people behind it claim:
Nomorobo uses something called conditional call forwarding, which splits the call so it simultaneously goes to the user's phone (but doesn't immediately ring) as well as the Nomorobo call center, which analyzes the call and determines whether it's a robocall.
The system determines this based on several factors: black- and white-lists, the calling patterns of the number, and the frequency of calls. This also ensures that spoofed caller IDs are caught.
If the call is determined to be a robocall, Nomorobo answers and immediately hangs up, before the user's phone rings. If no threat is detected, the call goes to the user's phone. If the call center software is unsure whether it's a robocall, the caller is presented with an audio captcha and asked to prove it's human by entering the number that's read out loud.
The trick, as the makers explain in a video, is that the call goes to whatever connection answers first and then is disconnected on the other line, so the junk calls never go through to you. The feds seem to like the idea because it was picked as one of the winners in the challenge. You can see a list of the submissions on FTC's website.

Stocks little changed as earnings fail to inspire
Among other stocks making big moves:
- Ralph Lauren surged $9.72, or 5.9 percent, to $174.63 after the designer clothing company posted a 27 percent increase in income. The company is reporting strong spending among its affluent shoppers in the U.S. and improving trends in Europe.
- Walt Disney rose 23 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $54.52 after the company posted fiscal first-quarter profits that exceeded analysts' expectations. The entertainment giant's stock rose to a record $55.50, boosted by optimism about the earnings potential of its networks, movies and theme parks.
-Boise Cascade, a wood products and building materials company, jumped $5.15, or 24.5 percent, to $26.15 on its first day of trading.
- Aflac fell $2.31, or 4.3 percent, to $51.18 after the insurer reported its fourth quarter earnings late Tuesday. RBC Capital Markets cut their forecast for the company's 2013 earnings to reflect the impact of a weaker Japanese yen. Aflac earns a significant portion of its revenues in Japan.
- Liberty Global Inc., the cable TV operator controlled by media mogul John Malone, fell $1.82, or 2.7 percent, to $66.06 after it said it is buying U.K.-based Virgin Media Inc. in a $16 billion deal.

Use COE money to subsidise bus drivers' pay rise
SINCE the Certificate of Entitlements (COE) scheme is to discourage car ownership and to encourage the public to take public transport, shouldn't the money collected from it be used to subsidise the pay increase needed for bus drivers ("Higher bus costs to be shared: Lui"; last Friday).
It does not seem right to discourage car ownership and then penalise those who take public transport.

We end the first month of the year with a report on major insurance topics that we will be watching in 2013.
Many of these developments can be traced to discrete events or market or political forces. This year, those events and forces include the lasting impact of Superstorm Sandy, pressures created by the continuing low interest rate environment and sluggish economic growth, federal-state tensions and the emergence of international standards in the regulation of insurance, governments searching for more tax revenue, and the pervasiveness of technology (increasingly in the form of mobile devices) for all aspects of human interaction. Where helpful, we have identified these forces and how they affect the industry.

Free Lesson Plan Flags
The students will write a description of a flag.
Reading, Vocabulary, Writing Process, Journaling, Oral Language, Art
Grade 1- 4
The students will write a description of a flag.
- Decide whether the whole class will participate in writing a description, or if the students will do so individually.
- Have the students study the flag they will be describing in their writing. This will be done by either having the entire class view the one flag they will be describing, or by handing out pictures of various flags to each individual student. What colors are in the flag? What symbols are used? Where are the colors and symbols placed in the flag? How would the students write a description of the flag for someone who cannot see it? If this project is being done as a whole class, record their descriptive sentences on chart paper.
- If older students are doing this project individually, have them keep their flag picture a secret. Once their descriptions are written, display the flag pictures for all the students to view. Then each student may read their description while the rest of the class tries to match the description with the picture.
Extension Ideas
As an alternative to the above, combine a Language Arts Lesson with an Art Lesson. Have the students write a description of the flag they have created during the art lesson. They may want to include a description of the process of creating their flag and what any of the symbols mean.
Have a lesson on symbols and what they mean. Discuss the different symbols used in the American Flag. Relate this to symbols used in written language. What do the different punctuation marks mean– . , ? ! ?
Read the Pledge of Allegiance. A great book to use for this activity is The Pledge of Allegiance by Francis Bellamy (Editor), Scholastic. Make a list of the unknown words and look up their definitions. If desired use "The Pledge of Allegiance" activity sheet (most appropriate for older students).
- The United States Flag or any other flag. (Pictures of flags may be used as well.) Refer to the following Web sites (see Internet Links below): Flags or Flags Of The World. If the class will be doing this project individually, have enough pictures of flags so there is one per student. If you do not have a color printer, print out the coloring pages of flags at the Coloring Book Of Flags Web site (see Internet Links below). Show the students the color picture of their flag and have them quickly fill in the colors before writing their descriptions.
- paper
- writing utensils
- chart paper or blackboard (if done as a whole class)

The suspected armed robber of TitleMax in Fairview Heights, who was captured by a police SWAT team Saturday in Belleville, has been charged with three felonies in connection with the robbery.
Darius T. Thompson, 22, of 5 Pheasantwood, Apt. D. in Belleville, faces three felony counts of armed robbery, according to Fairview Heights Police. Thompson allegedly demanded cash from employees at the TitleMax office at 10226 Lincoln Trail, then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash about 3:30 p.m. Friday.
Following an 8-hour standoff, SWAT members of the Belleville/St. Clair County Special Response Team captured Thompson after using a battering ram attached to an armored vehicle to force open the door of his apartment at 2 p.m. Saturday.
The St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office charged Thompson on Monday. Thompson was in custody Monday at the Fairview Heights Police Department and was to appear before a St. Clair County judge Monday for arraignment.

UW-L And Loggers Join Forces
The La Crosse Loggers and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse have announced an agreement in principle to provide for the long term financial stability of the UW-La Crosse baseball program and to raise funds needed for enhancement to the baseball facilities at city owned Copeland Park.
Logger Owner, Dan Kapanke. As part of their new partnership with UW La Crosse, the Loggers have committed to making an annual donation to the University sufficient in size to cover the baseball program's yearly fundraising needs. Also under the agreement, UW-La Crosse will assist the Loggers in raising funds to pay for $650 thousand in proposed improvements to Copeland Park which includes including installation of an artificial turf infield surface, addition of a video board, and construction of batting cages. In exchange for its fundraising assistance, UW-La Crosse could begin to play its home baseball schedule at Copeland Park, possibly as early as the 2013 season
Downtown Mainstreet Veto Overriden
As expected, La Crosse mayor Matt Harter's latest veto didn't last. The city council has voted to override a veto from the mayor that he made last month to withhold allocated funding for Downtown Mainstreet Incorporated. Harter said he vetoed the six thousand dollars in funding from the downtown business development organization out of the conviction that private entities should not receive public dollars in order to operate.
Local Man Wanted
The La Crosse Police are asking the public for assistance in locating Fredrick Lomprey IV.
Lax Drug Homicide Case May Be Affected By Miranda Rights
The famous 'Miranda warning' given during an arrest requires police to tell suspects that they have the right to get an attorney before questioning.
That right to a lawyer could have an effect on the reckless homicide case of Cain Moss in La Crosse County. Moss is one of two people accused of giving a fatal dose of drugs to a local man last summer. The other suspect, Christina Lorenz, has pled guilty and will be sentenced in July. Moss's attorney wants some of her client's statements to police to be suppressed during trial, because there wasn't a lawyer present. And those statements could include information on where police could find the hidden body of victim Anthony DuCharme. No trial date has been set for Moss. A judge could rule on the admission of those statements within a few weeks.
GOP Wants Barrett To Say How He Would Fix State Economy
Tom Barrett's people call it a 'political stunt'...
They're responding to a letter from Republican leaders, calling on Barrett to reveal his own economic plan for Wisconsin before the recall election against Governor Walker in June. Assemblyman Robin Vos claims he's only heard one specific idea so far from Barrett, to increase wind energy. Vos says the media should demand answers from Barrett, so the Milwaukee mayor doesn't campaign on 'lies' and accusations against Walker.
