Monday's column by Michael Sean Winters in the National Catholic Reporter addresses the day's decisions by the President to issue the Executive Order on Non-Discrimination based on sexual orientation by government contractors, while also keeping the Bush Executive Order allowing Churches to hire co-religionists without it being considered discrimination. You can and should read his column at http://ncronline.org/blogs/distinctly-catholic/usccb-lgbt-non-discrimina... and then read mine below.
As promised, President Obama extended employment non-discrimination to gay employees of federal contractors. This is a Church issue because it gets contracts and grants from the Catholic Hospital to Catholic Charities to Catholic parish schools - although the last are a vanishing breed except among economically elite parishes - with poor parishes often becoming charter schools. Also kept was the right of the Church to use religious membership in hiring decisions, although in hospitals and even Catholic Charities, it is not a right the Church often exercises. I am hoping that the Church does not resist that form of employee non-discrimination - indeed, I doubt many hospitals and charitable organizations actively discriminate against gays and lesbians so this will change nothing on the ground. Indeed, schools likely have their share of gay teachers and principles. Indeed, some of them are priests and sisters. It would be rather inconvient to reactively fire lay employees for a characteristic found among consecrated and ordained (they may even be dating). I know that those who are reacting to the Church's child protection problems might look to a gay scapegoat - but that is simply not so. Most abusers are, like most of the population, heterosexual. I am amazed that MSW does not bring up the topic - however I suspect some in USCCB might. That would be sad, because they have made clear for years that discrimination based on sexuality is wrong, from employment to housing (that would be the last frontier - but one the movement should work on harder). Its screed on gays being objectively disordered is hogwash, as was its teaching in the Council of Trent about concupescience (taking pleasure is sex). If straigth and gay priests could marry, you would see both teachings quickly withdrawn.
As for the President's motives here? I suspect this was written by the lawyers, who decided that repealing the Bush Order on religious hiring would be picking a fight. Does the President care about the Catholic bishops? Probably not so much, since he is not Catholic and because he has advisors from Catholic Charities, USA and Catholic Health Association whose members are much more directly impacted (the Bishops are titular heads of Catholic Charities - however these agenices are as much beholden for federal requirements and funds as they are to the Bishop - I for one would like to have the people in the pews demand that Charities organizations be indpendent - given how the bishops tend to mess up much of what they touch administratively). As for Obama on marriage - my bet is that he cares not at all what the Bishops think on this issue - constitutional law trumps that. When he ran originally, he did not want to be seen as some Chicago liberal with a gay agenda, which would hurt his support with the black churches. It was his Catholic Vice President who got him to publicly change his mind and it did not hurt that Mitt Romney was his opponent when it came time for black churches to turn out the flock for 2012. Since the black churches have few federal contract dollars, this should keep their enthusiasm going for 2014 - else Valerie Jarrett would not have let him do this. As for Obama replealing RFRA if the Democrats win the House? I doubt it, although some corrective legislation might be in order.

Advice & Support
If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, your doctor may recommend that you take a folic acid supplement in addition to eating a regular
healthy diet.
Women who might get pregnant should get at least 400 micrograms (0.4 mg) of folic acid per day. Experts recommend that women take a daily supplement that has 400 to 800 micrograms.1
Women who are pregnant should get 600 micrograms (0.6 mg) of folic acid per day.2
Women who follow these recommendations are less likely to have
babies with certain birth defects, especially
neural tube defects.
If a woman had a previous pregnancy with a neural tube defect, her doctor might recommend that she take a higher dose of folic acid during pregnancy.

Crammed nose to tail and forced to walk in monotonous circles for hours on end, the use of real ponies for carousel rides is a very real problem and one that needs your attention.
Taking place in fairgrounds all over the globe, live ponies are shackled by their heads to carousels where they have no choice but to walk round and round in one direction, at a set speed for hours at a time giving rides to screaming children of all ages and sizes.
These rides typically consist of 6 – 12 ponies being tied to a rotating mechanical arm. The animals have barely any room to move and incur many painful rubs and sores from their tack, especially around their head area.
As well as having to endure all kinds of varying weather conditions, including harsh summer heat waves and lashing cold rains, these poor ponies are denied their basic rights of being able to eat, drink, urinate and defecate freely. As if this isn't bad enough, they are also subjected to continuously loud fairground music. A veterinarian that witnessed one of these horrific rides in Spain concluded that the animals were most likely profoundly deaf as a result.
Photo evidence provided by members of the public has shown numerous accounts of ponies lying motionless on the floor, either dead or sick as a result of severe dehydration and exhaustion.
After a lifetime of enslavement, exploitation and mistreatment, when the ponies become no longer of use, they are often sent to the slaughterhouse.
A Happy Ending for Victoria
Victoria is a carousel pony rescued from the south of Spain who is now lucky enough to have a wonderful forever home in Sanctuary Gaia. After years of being used for the entertainment and amusement of children, she was deemed worthless by the fairground and was left tied without being able to move, which led to severe atrophy of her limbs. When rescued, her drinking water was so dirty it was green.
Despite still suffering from both the mental and physical effects of her previous life, Victoria is now free to run in the green grass and carry out her natural instincts. She has taken a particular liking to Samuel, a calf rescued from the dairy industry, who also lives at the sanctuary.
Ismael Lopez, co-founder of Sanctuary Gaia, is well aware of the cruelty that these live pony rides entail. He states, "..the child in the photo is me because the education I received was a speciesist education where I was taught that I was superior to any other animal, which is why for 30 years of my life I have used animals for my benefit…no one taught me there was another way, and that is why I work to show the reality of these exploitative industries."
Animals Are Not Ours For Entertainment
No animal deserves to be used for our entertainment. With more and more people becoming aware of these inhumane practices, we are able to unite and collectively demand an end to this injustice.
In July 2013, the Spanish municipality of Pamploma approved a motion with the unanimous support of almost all councilors to prohibit the use of pony drawn carousels in 2014. President of AnimaNaturalis Aida Gascon, an animal rights organization in Spain, said "We welcome this news, because it shows that if society is informed and unites we can get a ban on activities involving animal abuse. Carousels with ponies are an outdated attraction that cause stress and suffering to the animals due to the noise and bustle of the fairs. In addition, they undergo mental and physical exhaustion caused by endless circling, and are also exposed to environmental conditions that can be extremely harsh."
At my sanctuary (Mino Valley Farm Sanctuary), we will never stop speaking out for animals that need our help. We are working in collaboration with numerous other sanctuaries and animal rights organizations across Spain to put a stop to this cruelty once and for all. Join us in our fight by signing the petition below and sharing this post to help raise awareness of this issue.

thanks for sharing
I am glad to hear that the carosels are being shut down- but I hope the ponies will be rescued and not neglected or worse...
What people will do for the almighty dollar. What a shame.
Everything about this is totally wrong. They are tied up for long periods without food, shelter, water and REST! They are, as the majority of animal cruelty is money makers. They can't have any compassion because if they did they'd care and look after their well being. they don't as its simply leave tyhe pony where it drops and go off and get another one! Sickening. We need to sign and share to make this plight of the ponies as widely known as possible. x
I have been concerned about this here in the U.S. Every year our town fair has these pony rides and I know it isn't right. Round and round in the sweltering heat, then traveling all over the place. It is horrible. I am glad to see this issue getting the attention it needs. This practice needs to stop.
the whole of humanity for generations since the beginning of time has abused animals and it will take humanity awhile to change how they view animals and how animals might feel. A huge learning curve for humans is happening, and I pray to the Universe or who ever is in charge out there that we get smart real quick cause our entire planet is counting on it, if we don't save the animals we will kill ourselves.
I have Spanish blood in me, but it sure perks up to a boil when I hear what the Spanish do to animals. GRRRR! Bull fights, running with the bulls...etc...they never seem to get past the bloodlust of the Inquisition, do they? Can see why my great great grandparents took a boat out of Spain.
OMG. I've never seen anything like this before. In my country carousels are always done with fake horses.
I used to give pony rides (NOT CAROUSELS) at a big fair, the ponies actually enjoyed it and all the attention and pets and the outting too eg enough ponies so that some were always getting a rest, walking WITH the pony leading it..and certainly not taking them round and round in little circles! Pony rides can be done in a manner in which both the ponies and the kids are happy.
No need to give pony rides in a cruel way but I guess these owners are too lazy to treat their animals right, so use machines to lead them around rather then lead them around themselves while giving the animals the attention they deserve
But.... but.... but... are you trying to tell me that "Friendly Farms" isn't friendly?? No! Stop the propaganda immediately! Here we see ponies willing to give up to 100 rides per hour and you know, they wouldn't do it if they weren't very friendly.
As this happened in Spain how about the abuse of all animals in local towns and villages with the excuse it´s tradition! Bulls.Goats,Live fowl hung from church belferys all in the name of Tradition.A green star for the Sanctuary but a lot more needs to be done for all animals that suffer at the hands of those imbecils.

WEDNESDAY, March 23 (HealthDay News) -- Physical activity may diminish the negative impact of a high-salt diet on blood pressure, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that the more people exercise, the less their blood pressure will rise in response to a high-salt diet.
"For those with low physical activity, their blood pressure will increase more if they increase their sodium intake," said study co-author Dr. Jiang He, chair of the department of epidemiology at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans.
"It's a little bit of a surprise," He added. "But this is the first study to look at this particular association between physical activity and salt sensitivity and blood pressure. But after thinking it over it makes sense, because we already know that physical activity will reduce blood pressure."
He and his colleagues are slated to present their findings Wednesday at the American Heart Association's meeting on nutrition, physical activity and cardiovascular disease, held in Atlanta.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a leading cause of stroke. Because of salt's association with high blood pressure, the American Heart Association recommends consuming less than 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day.
To explore a potential association between exercise and the hypertensive role of dietary salt, the authors focused on roughly 1,900 men and women (average age 38) living in a rural region in northern China. None took blood pressure medication during the study.
For one week all of the participants consumed 3,000 mg of sodium a day in their diet; for another week, they were placed on a high-sodium diet -- 18,000 mg per day.
Nine blood pressure readings were taken each week, and questionnaires were completed to assess routine levels of physical activity, ranging from "very active" to "quite sedentary."<

In this last part of the article series I would like to address common questions I receive from customers.
You might want to check for updates on this page in the future as I will update this part with new questions as they arise.
Question: Are permissions replicated from source to target label?
Answer: No. Permissions are not replicated as it is expected that the same user can have a different role in a different label.
Question: Are manually activated features replicated from source to target label?
Answer: This depends: if the features activation is done before the site has been created in the target label through the variation engine then the features will also be activated on the target label. Features activated on the sites later will not get replicated as the variation engine only supports updates to pages but not to sites.
Question: Is the content of minor versions of pages replicated to the target label?
Answer: In general the answer is no. Only major versions are replicated to the target label. The only exception is during initial replication of a site from source to target when pages are provisioned through the site templates. During the replication the content of the current version of the related pages in the source label is replicated to the target label - even if this is a minor version.
Question: Is there a list of columns and properties which do not get overwritten during replication?
Answer: See in the note at the bottom of Part 7
Question: Are properties in the site property bag replicated from source to target?
Answer: No, site properties are not replicated.
Question: Are changes to navigation settings replicated between source and target labels?
Answer: This depends: if the navigation setting changes are done before the site has been created in the target label through the variation engine then the navigation settings will be replicated to the target label. Navigation changes done later will not get replicated as the variation engine only supports updates to pages but not to sites.
Dear Stefan,
Thank you for your great posts on variations.
However, I'm stuck with creating a new variation label in SP 2010.
I can create the label, schedule a new Variation Hierarchy creation, runt the 'Variation Hierarchies Creation' time job.
The Variated Top site is created (nl2), as well as its index page. The site features are activated within the new variant, the lists are created, but none of the child sites are created:
'A new site ApplyOnlinePopup did not get created under Label nl2 by the variation system for source site http://---/dm/ApplyOnlinePopup. Cannot create Variation site because the parent Publishing web cannot be found. Ensure the parent Publishing web has been spawned and try again.'
I've tried to run the variationsfixuptool stsadm command in -spawn, -fix and -scan modes, always with -recurse parameter and '-label nl2' but it doesn't change anything.
Do you have any idea of what else I could try?
Kind regards,
Hi Joachim,
in this case you should open a support case with Microsoft as it would be required to analyze the relationships list entries in more details.
Hi Stefan - do you know if the problems with the relationships list, and the requirement to have the variations fixup tool, will still be there for SharePoint 2013? Thanks.
Hi Stefan,
Appreciate the list of detailed articles shared !
However as per technet.microsoft.com/.../hh487293.aspx in SharePoint 2010 we have a 50 Variation label limit is it the same even in SharePoint 2007 ?
Hi Amey,
this limit is the same in 2007 and 2010.
Hi again Stefan,
I am not sure, if my comment from yesterday, got through, if it will, this one is obsolete.
We are migrating from MOSS 2007 to SP2010 directly to SP2013.
In SP2013 the Automatic Propagation to Target Pages is turned off in the Variation System, how can it be turned on again via Powershell, similar to PART 5 for SP2010? I tried that but did'nt work.
Thanks and regards,
Hi Dan,
I double checked: the relevant code has not changed in SP2013. Automatic Propagation is enabled per default and using the powershell script in Part 5 you can disable it.
If this does not work correctly in your Environment I would recommend to open a Support case to get this analyzed in more Details.
I have created a page in my sharepoint site and another in same hierarchy of the variant site. But since both the pages are created out of box without submitting variations so are not linked up. Is there any way i can link them up through variations ?
Thanks in Advance
Hi Sid,
that's not possible in a supported way.
Hi Stephan,
Is it possible to enable auto-variation when creating a site or a page, but disable auto-variation when update pages. It is annoying that variation keeps on adding minor versions to our French site when updating the English page. But we still want to keep this feature when a new page is generated.
Hi Sean,
actually that is not possible.
But you can avoid this by creating your source label as hidden label.
So you just use this to create the pages and if updates in all labels are required.
And the visible labels are all target labels.
Hi Stefan
As always it is a pleasure to read your blog!
I have a question that might deserve a place in your FAQ: "Is it possible to change an existing variation label display name?"
The answer seems to be "no" as SharePoint actually tries to recreate the hierarchy when saving the changes.
Have you come across that issue as well? (SP2010)
Hi Franck,
didn't get this question till now.
Great posts ! Question is , if I add a Content Search Web part on the source page with the query in it that can be same on all variations label ( Target Sites) , Will it replicate the CSW on variations labels ? In my case it is replicating with the search
query in it but shows " sorry something went wrong" when I edit this web part on the target label, query is present in there and shows result only in edit mode , same Web Part is working fine on source label ? Any thoughts ?
Hi Umar,
many webparts store internally information about the site, page or list they are on using the ID (guid). Variations treats web parts as black box and does not change the web part content during variations.
I did not look into the technical implementation of the content by search web part but the behavior you see indicates that this web part also relies on the original location it was added on. I assume removing and readding the web part on target with the same
settings would work? That would confirm the theory.
In any case you could check the ULS log for details about the exception to get more info what went wrong.

PS3 Remote @ 08:37 pm
I ordered a $7 remote for my PS3 from Ebay. It's just a simple remote, and a USB IR receiver you plug in to your PS3. I plugged it in and navigated around with the remote just fine. Next I "learned" the functionality on my Sony RM-VL600 and now I can control my PS3 with a real remote.
The official PS3 remote is blue tooth, which makes it useless for "learning" on another more advanced remote. The solution is a $7 Chinese knock off. Good one Sony.

Mollie Hawkes
Good morning, welcome to the FTI Consulting conference call to discuss the company's 2011 second quarter results as we reported this morning. Management will begin with formal remarks, after which, we'll take your questions.
Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that this conference call may include forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, that involves uncertainties and risks. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues, future results, performance expectations, plans or intentions, business trends and other information not historical, including statements regarding estimates of our future financial results.
For a discussion of risks and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ from these contemplated by forward-looking statements, investors should review the Safe Harbor statement in which earnings press release issued this morning. A copy is available on our website at www.fticonsulting.com, as well as disclosures under the heading Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Information on our most recent Form 10-K and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this earnings call.
During the call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted segment EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share. For a discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most recently comparable GAAP measures, investors should review the press release we issued this morning.
With these formalities out of the way, I would like to turn the call over to Jack Dunn, President and Chief Executive Officer. Jack, please go ahead.
Jack Dunn
Thank you very much, Mollie. Good morning to everyone and thank you for joining us. With me are Dennis Shaughnessy, our Chairman; Roger Carlile, our CFO; and David Bannister, the Chairman of our North American region. In response to our discussions with the over the last couple of weeks in a survey we did, we are going to keep our prepared remarks to a minimum this morning. There are a couple of things that I'd like to give you as potential takeaways from the quarter, but we want to leave as much time as possible for your request for questions and drilling down on the issues that are really jugular to you.
I would ask you to remember that the goal of FTI was to be the #1 firm that people turn to worldwide for solutions to the jugular issues that affect their wealth, their reputation and indeed their very lives. Our strategy, or if you will, our value proposition was to attract, hire, acquire, and most importantly, retain the best talent in the world to help clients identify those jugular issues, devise value-added solutions and then deliver them locally through the last model of execution in a timely effective, thorough, seamless and cost-efficient manner. I think that this was a significant quarter in validating that strategy and in achieving that goal. And I would like to give you a couple of things to think about in terms of the quarter.
The first was that this was an excellent quarter. The company grew 15% as a whole. Second, our pro cyclical businesses as a whole are more than gaining traction. They are strong, with 3 of them having excellent results. Third, our activities outside North America are also very strong. Four, with the steps we've taken in the quarter, we believe we are at or near the bottom of the market for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring activities. Five, our financial position is strong. And six, we are reaffirming our guidance.
With regard to the quarter, revenues rose 15% to a record $400.4 million, the highest quarterly revenue in the history of the company and our second consecutive quarterly record. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter excluding the special charge were $0.64, up 23% over adjusted EPS in the second quarter last year, when there were no special charges. Adjusted EBITDA was 16.6% of revenues, which included the ramp-up expenses of our newly acquired LECG professionals as they began to get traction.
With regard to our pro cyclical businesses, as a whole, they grew 25%. And the organic growth for these businesses was a robust 16%. The delta represented growth from the LECG transactions, which are more than on plan. Highlights in the pro cyclical businesses were 46% revenue growth in Economic Consulting, of which 18.5% was organic; and 33% revenue growth in Technology, all of which was organic; Forensic and Litigation Consulting grew revenues at 15%, 9.5% of which was organic; and Strategic Communications grew revenues at about 7.5%, though much of this was due to foreign exchange.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
A simple, homemade relish featuring red onions, raisins and apples, the superstar of autumn fruit.
Got green tomatoes? Try this fermented version of the Southern classic sweet and sour chowchow mixed vegetable relish. Eat with anything from sausage to rice, and it's healthy, too.
Corn relish has become a fall family favorite in recent years. It is easy and fun to prepare, colorful, delicious and versatile. Most often I serve it as a salad with diced cucumber and fresh cilantro spooned into tortilla chip cups....
Cilantro, jalapeno, cumin, oregano and lime make it Mexican. 51 ears of fresh corn make it a big batch. It's all rather straightforward. Best if you have big pots. Great for gifts -- this is one of SpecD's best loved holiday treats.
I eat these tender tangy kernels of summer goodness on most everything!!
My Grandma Betty's recipe with the heat turned up!
A hot pepper spread, using a variety of peppers for a complex tang. It's perfect on a hoagie or a burger or even a breakfast sandwich. I've quickly become addicted to this small batch recipe.
Crunchy and sweet, this homemade relish is pure green gold, and the hot new condiment you need for your sandwiches and burgers.
Try these two delicious and easy summertime condiments!
My recipe for Red (Beet) Horseradish, a passover staple!

Here are three things you should know about this past week in recruiting:
The Bulldogs coaching staff had top offensive lineman target E.J. Price on the commit list since early April.
The 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle from Lawrenceville (Archer High) announced via Twitter on Thursday he was re-opening his recruitment and again weighing all options.
Ranked a top-10 senior in the state, Price holds offers from nearly every relevant program in the country.
It was at the end of the 2007 regular season when Georgia had played itself into landing a spot in a top-tier bowl game when coach Mark Richt spoke about a possible trip out West.
"To go to the Rose Bowl would be a lot of fun," Richt said. "It's one game that I personally have not been able to go to. I've been to all the rest."
Georgia ended up in the Sugar Bowl that season, but has now scheduled a game to be played in the Rose Bowl not to end a season but to start one off.
And it's still quite a ways off.
A busy week on the recruiting front just wrapped up as Georgia handed out plenty of offers, landed a commitment and hosted its annual 7-on-7 camps.
Here are five things you should know about this past week in recruiting.
Attention starting quarterback candidates at Georgia.
Coach Mark Richt has an important quality he wants to see in the guy that will be picked to be the man: Secure that ball.
Richt mentioned it again and again last week at a media event in Macon.
MACON | Georgia's latest batch of incoming freshmen arrived on campus Monday.
They will hit summer workouts with the returning players.
MACON | OK, this may have been an understatement when Georgia head coach Mark Richt was talking about five-star defensive lineman Trenton Thompson.
"I think Trenton is going to be able to help us," Richt said. "He's a big man up front."
Richt mentioned Georgia lost senior defensive linemen Mike Thornton, Toby Johnson and Ray Drew.
"Trenton will help us in that spot," Richt said.
Jeremy Pruitt and wife Casey are the parents of a boy born on Monday afternoon.
Ridge Pruitt weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
The Georgia defensive coordinator spent most of Monday at the hospital, but head coach Mark Richt said he "popped in" to the team meeting with the freshmen to say hello.
"We gave him a round of applause for the newborn Ridge," Richt said.
MACON | It didn't take long for the newcomers this week to be reminded about what's expected of them off the field.
"Certainly representing the G and representing their family name and the University of Georgia is something that was very important," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said.
MACON | Two-time All-American offensive lineman Matt Stinchcomb (1995-98) and All-American defensive back Scott Woerner (1977-80) from Georgia are among 76 former players and five coaches on the 2016 ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. The announcement of the class will be Jan. 8, 2016…Georgia has a team meeting on Wednesday night after returning players get back on campus for the start of the first summer session. …Richt arrived in Macon fresh off a haircurt earlier in the morning. "I got my neck shaved," he said. "Nothing like getting your neck shaved. It just feels better."
MACON | The biggest storyline this spring and summer for Georgia traveled with Mark Richt to the annual Peach State Pigskin Preview on Tuesday.
The team's quarterback situation, the Bulldogs head coach confirmed, could still have another candidate join the mix.
Four days after the Athens Banner-Herald reported that Georgia received permission to contact Virginia graduate transfer quarterback Greyson Lambert, Richt said, yes, he is still being recruited by Georgia.
Juwan Taylor left from Hollywood, Fla., for Athens on Sunday morning. Jayson Stanley plans to make the drive from his home outside of Atlanta Monday.
"I'm just ready to get to it," said Stanley, a wide receiver from Creekside. "Start the whole process and go from there."
Taylor, an inside linebacker, made the trip with his parents and his sister. They planned to spend the night at his grandparents home in Pineview, Ga., in Wilcox County.
A little more than a half hour after coveted McEachern defensive tackle Julian Rochester posted on his Twitter page Thursday night that he committed to Georgia, Mark Richt tweeted his own not-so-subtle expression of glee about the get with a tweet that included this hashtag: #homeGrown.
The Bulldogs coaching staff is hauling in recruits with a theme of locking down the borders of the state.
DESTIN, Fla. | When Georgia begins putting up its indoor practice facility after this coming season, it will be the last of 14 SEC schools to have such a building for use by its football program.


text: CPUC New Audit Reveals California PUC Misrepresented Funds By Julie Small - KPCC • Jan 18, 2013 California's Public Utilities Commission has a math problem: Its budget staff has been misreporting the balance in special funds the agency manages. That's the finding of a new state audit that blamed the mistakes on "general confusion and lack of knowledge." The Public Utilities Commission manages 14 special funds that use monthly fees from consumers to pay for special programs like the Universal Lifeline telephone service for low-income Californians. It turns out that in 2011, agency staff miscalculated how much those funds held.

Fastball Special.
So, my new post on Tor.com about The Legend of Korra is up, so here is my obligatory shill for it. Actually, no; this is me playing newsie for Korra. Wuxtry, wuxtry, have you seriously not started watching The Legend of Korra yet? What is wrong with you! If you have, you should read my posts & maybe comment, & then we can all have a nice discussion about how the show creators subvert our expectations in a great way that doesn't undermine the narrative or the characters. & speaking of show runners, it is nice to remember that Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko exist; I've been heartbroken since Dan Harmon was removed from Community & it is a balm knowing that some artistic talent is being nurtured & allowed to blossom. Sorry, I know I am being maudlin & my prose is getting purple; I'll stop. Seriously though, I ain't gonna pretend like yesterday wasn't me, Jenny, ranai, fatbutts & James watching The Legend of Korra. I mean, Kira brought Olivia over so she could play with James & Lilly's dog Archie & then Lilly & me played MarioKart, this is true, & we watched an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, but the crown jewel of the night is obviously Korra. I've had a pretty full week of socializing so far, actually-- Tuesday was drinks with Jocelyn & her friend Eugene, joined by Matt & Eugene's friend Matt & then eventually Jenny! We were at Library & first there was vintage porn but then there was The Dark Crystal & yes I'm precisely the guy who takes photos of the movie screen. After drinks I was ready to go home but Jenny wanted to get dinner, & boy was she correct. We got the Noah's Ark from Luke's Lobster Shack; each of us had half a lobster roll, half a shrimp roll & half a crab roll. The lobster roll & shrimp roll were both amazing. Then home & watching Aziz Ansari's Dangerously Delicious with Danielle!

Well, I finally got around to putting an introduction on the site. I first fell in love with photography when my mother bought me film to use in her Kodak box camera. When the prints (B&W of course) arrived back at the local drug store, I was hooked. I shot 35mm for year (and still do), but really learned to enjoy the methodical ways of 4x5 while I was the owner of a camera store and custom lab.
Alas, the camera store failed and I had to get another job. I found myself working for a Fortune 400 company in Information Technology, where I work as a project manager today. Work leaves little time for photography, but I still love it. (There is something magical about watching a print appear in a tray of developer.)
Recently I have been working with Polaroid Transfers and some B&W. I have two kids in college and a wonderful wife who all indulge me with my photographic vice. My daughter seems to have quite an eye and loves shooting B&W.
I live in SW Missouri in the Ozarks. A beautiful place to shoot. Fall will be here soon and the colors are vivid here. I was more than happy to join APUG after a few weeks of lurking. You all have given a world of good advice and your gallery photos are wonderful to view.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Depends how long current prices last

This was the first time my husband and I have stayed at any Bed and Breakfast. This was a wonderful way to open our eyes to this kind of lodging. The Hideaway staff were so nice and always making sure we had everything we needed. We will be letting all our friends and family know about this place. This is a great place and we will be coming again to stay here. It was a really nice way to just get away for the weekend. Thanks for everything Ryan&Shelby " "

CHICAGO - SEPTEMBER 12: Matt Forte of the Chicago Bears is hit by Aaron Berry of the Detroit Lions during the NFL season opening game at Soldier Field on September 12, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears defeated the Lions 19-14. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
The Detroit Lions' roster makeover has turned disastrous for a Waukesha, Wisc., supplier of NFL team calendars. It was bad enough when the Lions' 2013 calendar debuted with the month of January featuring cornerback Aaron Berry. Berry, you'll recall, was released by the Lions way back in July before training camp even opened following two arrests in less than a month. He's now with the New York Jets. Things only got worse, much worse, for the calendar last week when the Lions released receiver Titus Young and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch. Young, who missed the final six games in 2012 for disciplinary reasons, is not only the featured player for December, he's also the action photo on the front cover. Vanden Bosch, meanwhile, is Mr. November. Then there's running back Jahvid Best (February), who's still on the Lions' roster but hasn't played since October 2011. Best's career quite possibly is over because of multiple head injuries. The future of safety Amari Spievey (Augus...

Re: Baaaaaaaaaaa!
So how long have you had this sheep fetish?

So how long have you had this sheep fetish?
"That's easy to say when you didn't build that light/no touch system, isn't it."
Actually, I did build it. Certainly, it was built upon and using the deployment tools that MS provides, along with some tools and utilities built in-house, some by me, some by others, but yeah, isn't that how it is supposed to be done? Had it been necessary to do so we would have built it from scratch because it would be nuts to deploy systems by hand when you are dealing with any volume.
Or should I have applauded the depiction of a professional BOFH (and the commenter) for a lack of a professional approach to system deployment? Seriously. Complain about Windows, Microsoft, etc. - sure, I get it, and I do. But *this* kind of complaining only goes to show whether or not you approach your job like a professional or not.
"You input the name during the install process?
Sounds like asking for trouble..."
My recommendation was to use automatically assigned names based on serial or MAC but I was overridden by manglement. I agree, it can - but very rarely does - result in trouble.
"By the end drivers, SW and AV is all in place."
"Then the user logs in and everything goes pearshaped..."
Truer words were never spoken.
If you get any questions at all during a Windows install, you are doing it wrong. Seriously.
We deploy dozens of systems each week and not one of them asks a question we don't want asked at a time we don't want it asked. Boot to the media, tell it the machine name (because we don't like the automatic naming convention), pick the machine function, and press the go button. Do whatever other work you like and come back later to a completed Windows install on a computer waiting to be delivered to the end user.
Answer questions during a Windows install for a standard system deployment? Amateurs.
Not just sneak in and steal it - sneak in, swap it with another one, then sneak back in and swap it back without the owner being aware that anything is amiss. Seems *much* harder than guessing a password from afar or even stealing a security token.
Indeed. He will be missed, but he lives on through his writings - I am encouraged that the first post is one from a new reader.
@frank ly: "Indeed. I'd claim 'reasonable expectaton of privacy'."
There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place - they were in a shed on display at a retailer for crying out loud! In a shed on their property - fine, but not one in a public place.
That said, the rap is a bit much from my perspective - had someone opened the door to the shed and seen them going at it, *then* called the cops, it would be different. As it was, no member of the public saw his "indecent exposure".
"I don't think the OP was asking for [5000 miles] in a single charge, but rather referring to the lifetime of the battery itself"
Um, no, pretty sure the OP wanted 5000 miles in a single charge. I'm pretty sure the batteries in electric cars already last 5000 miles - in fact, Tesla claims that their batteries will retain 70% of their capacity after 5 years and 50,000 miles.
Wonder if it works as well when *adding* a head - if so, I'm in!
...the United States takes Thursday off for its annual "Huzzah, we kicked out the British and will now spell color anyway we like," Independence Day celebrations.
Best. Quote. Ever.
"pinball is a full-contact sport, which is why it doesn't work on a computer screen"
This. Why oh why do folks insist on continuing to try to make pinball games for the PC? They. Just. Don't. Get. It.
No, they'll just leave that to the commentards - they do it so well after all...
>> it drops calls 85% of the time even with a condom around it
At the risk of a severe pounding...
Clearly, you are holding [your condom covered "device"] wrong.
Paris, 'cause she likes them with or without a condom.
"Bringing back multiple apps on screen at once
You sort of can already, you just need to use that stupid "snap" system where you drag the apps to the edge of the screen."
Except that only gives you two, and one is mostly unusable, and even then it only works on screens with the proper resolution. Here's hoping they fixed it up a bit better than that in 8.1...
"Lewis obviously had a good weekend."
I wonder if he spent the weekend with Rik Myslewski - it might explain this article...
Bootnotes, lad, it's in Bootnotes - you know, that place where El Reg puts stuff that has sod-all to do with IT but generally is of interest to geeks or perhaps is just of a titillating nature, etc.
As for those of us who are paying attention, you've already lost us and you will not be getting us back. The only ones you haven't/won't lose are the great unwashed who don't pay attention or even worse, are willing to give up privacy for the shiny trinkets you dangle in front of them.
"Have you been to A&E or an inner-city classroom recently?"
Have you seen the waste, excess, and abuse in other parts of government recently?
I see what you did there...
<Stroking beard>Hmmm, almost seems like he wanted to get caught...</psychoanalysis>
"Anyone who can learn to drive can learn to fly."
I'd have to disagree, though I could probably agree with "most people who can learn to drive can learn to fly".
Dear non-pilots, the term "my airspace" refers to that bubble of air surrounding "my aircraft" into which it is dangerous for any other "not my aircraft" to intrude. Given that the great unwashed have substantial difficulty keeping from intruding into "my roadspace" and seem content to think that mere inches of clearance is sufficient, I shudder to think what will happen when they are released from flatland and have to think and manoeuvre in 3D space.
Probably ought to take some reading comprehension classes, mate. That particular bug is in the IE browser, not in the Windows OS proper.
Can someone please explain to me what the fundamental difference is between a fiat currency and a virtual currency with no intrinsic value whatsoever?
A more complete reading of the article reveals "Under a deal with the authorities, Transition drivers will only need a sports license to fly, which only requires 20 hours of flight time and less exacting aeronautical knowledge. "
Still, have to agree that is will be nothing more than a rich man's toy at this point - but then much advancing, bleeding edge technology starts this way...
Is this sort of thing going to happen every time we use the Infinite Improbability drive?
Forget the flak jacket, where's my shotgun? And ammo? Lots of ammo!
Since CISPA is Dead (for now) in the US Senate, this change to EPCA will actually take effect and have the desired result.
Certainly from our perspective - and does any other perspecive matter?
Admittedly haven't had (enough) coffee this morning, but I fail to see the fail.
Actually, I was thinking it looked a lot like one of the older Beagle Board modules.
"Zaphod, I think this would be a more appropriate picture for use on El Reg...
Well played, 4ecks, well played!
"Maybe not "pretty damn hot", and at least a couple of decades on me, but I wouldn't say no."
I would. I don't see anything particularly attractive about her these days - maybe if I was the same age, but even then I see plenty of women her age that are more attractive than she is.
"I think Carrie Fisher still looks pretty damn hot."
Really? Here she is with a couple of friends a year ago:
Define "enemy" - and no, "who we say is the enemy" doesn't count.
Though I don't agree with what he did, that charge seems over the top (not that I expect any less from the government). I also have to give him credit for admitting guilt on the other charges.
What's with all of the smoking - is it that much more of a thing in China or is that just more of the propagandist nature of the animation?
Right, I knew that, I was just... oh never mind.
They still run the stupid gecko ads, and they are getting progressively worse.
First, nobody is giving any 16 year old boys automatic rifles. Those are tightly controlled by the BATFE and monstrously expensive (on the order of $15,000 or more). I suspect you mean a semi-automatic rifle, which fires one bullet with each pull of the trigger and does not require you to manipulate the firearm between shots.
Second, given that this is NY I imagine there would be just as much issue with her giving him a semi-automatic rifle and a ton of ammunition as there was for hiring strippers. NY just passed some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the US, and even before that ti was illegal for a dealer to sell to a minor so it wouldn't surprise me if they had added more age restrictions.
All depends on your locale I imagine. In the US or GB, 10,000 tons. In Spain or Italy, 10.000 tons. Elsewhere, it might even be 10 000 tons. I should think it was pretty clear from the context, data being from NASA and all.
Nope, it is indeed February 15th. Were there any doubt, this quote from the article should help dispel it: "It worked for us on an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.02, not just iOS 6.1 as Jailbreak Nation suggests."
Once the Loonies discovered they could throw rocks, it was pretty much over, Earth just didn't know it yet...
"this could always be cunning PR plan to hide the fact that there are Martians on the surface with whom NASA has done a deal to keep quiet about"
Please don't encourage them, they are nutty enough on their own!
" I find it cool that the computer which does my video recordings knows the time with an uncertainty of a microsecond. "
I find it likely that the poster of this statement doesn't get out much...
App Store - Search - Google Maps - Install. Done.
"I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama. After the address I'm sure Ted will have plenty to say."
In his subdued, reasoned and rational way, I'm sure.
@Callam McMillan - In our case (as is often the case in companies our size), boss of BOFH is former BOFH himself - they are aware of the wiles of the BOFH and know how to counter them, and (to answer another post) would know the difference between the real server room and a fake.
To put it bluntly: Security - they are doing it wrong.
Even though I work in a company of only around 100 employees, we have secured and limited access to the server room. I think 3 people have access - our BOFH, PFY and their boss.
No, not joking. He's fun to watch - said something this morning about an iOS 6.1 jailbreak party this weekend. I've seen him at the lunchroom table with an iPhone, iPad, MacBook of some kind and recently what looks like it could bean iPad mini too, all spread out & interacting with them almost all at once.

Elba Sara Beach & Golf Resort is located between an 18-hole golf course and the beach. Its unique architectural style harmonizes beautifully with its natural surroundings, creating an ideal vacation spot for either families or couples. The hotel proper lies in the Fuerteventura Golf Club Development in the town of Antigua, not far from Puerto del Rosario. The Albatross restaurant serves a range of freshly prepared Spanish delicacies and international dishes, and the bar has stunning sea views with a wide selection of live shows to enjoy.
The hotel has 266 rooms, all of which feature their own private balcony or terrace offering magnificent sea views. Guests can choose from double bed rooms, connecting rooms, and non-smoking rooms, as well as rooms for disabled visitors. Suites at the corners of the hotel offer complete privacy, with splendid terrace views. All rooms are elegantly furnished, with spacious bathrooms and dressing rooms. Suites have separate sitting rooms and bedrooms. Junior suites also feature spacious balconies or terraces, but unlike the full suites, sitting rooms and bedrooms are not separated. Double luxury rooms have their own private terraces or balconies, and 36 of these also have connecting doors.

Would not recommend
Very poor effort ! Horrid food & staff
One member of the reception staff was very rude & most unhelpful when asked for some help ! Have to go back several times to sort out any problems to be met by a glare & a frosty hostile receptionist . Also walking off as you ask for advice . I
would like to say that maybe it was a language barrier but the person in question was In fact English . I addressed this mater with the hotel manager but I would be highly surprised if the mater was ever rectified . The food is tasteless ,cold slop couldn't possibly eat it . Eat out every night . The thought of that mass produced slop makes my mouth water !
Don't eat the food . Even better don't go ! Eat in the town .
Mixed Bag
Location: nice setting on beach and near Hypermarket with one good Bar/Restaurant on beach, but 25 mins walk to most Restaurants and town; also on flight path to nearby airport.
Meal plan: mainly caters for Fully-inclusive guests. Bar staff did
not handle drinks charged to room very well and some wanted to serve fully-inclusive guests first because it was easier for them. Breakfasts were good and Egg-Chefs deserve a special mention.
Accommodation: Room and balcony view good; pools good; pool area too small for hotel when fully booked.
Staff: Bar staff either good or V bad; Reception staff helpful; cleaners good. Management responded to criticism, Daytime Activities staff freindly and enthusiastic
Lunch at La Isla, Fish soup to die for!
