28 U.S. Code § 1821 - Per diem and mileage generally; subsistence
prev | next
(1) Except as otherwise provided by law, a witness in attendance at any court of the United States, or before a United States Magistrate Judge, or before any person authorized to take his deposition pursuant to any rule or order of a court of the United States, shall be paid the fees and allowances provided by this section.
(2) As used in this section, the term "court of the United States" includes, in addition to the courts listed in section 451 of this title, any court created by Act of Congress in a territory which is invested with any jurisdiction of a district court of the United States.
(b) A witness shall be paid an attendance fee of $40 per day for each day's attendance. A witness shall also be paid the attendance fee for the time necessarily occupied in going to and returning from the place of attendance at the beginning and end of such attendance or at any time during such attendance.
(1) A witness who travels by common carrier shall be paid for the actual expenses of travel on the basis of the means of transportation reasonably utilized and the distance necessarily traveled to and from such witness's residence by the shortest practical route in going to and returning from the place of attendance. Such a witness shall utilize a common carrier at the most economical rate reasonably available. A receipt or other evidence of actual cost shall be furnished.
(2) A travel allowance equal to the mileage allowance which the Administrator of General Services has prescribed, pursuant to section 5704 of title 5, for official travel of employees of the Federal Government shall be paid to each witness who travels by privately owned vehicle. Computation of mileage under this paragraph shall be made on the basis of a uniformed table of distances adopted by the Administrator of General Services.
(3) Toll charges for toll roads, bridges, tunnels, and ferries, taxicab fares between places of lodging and carrier terminals, and parking fees (upon presentation of a valid parking receipt), shall be paid in full to a witness incurring such expenses.
(4) All normal travel expenses within and outside the judicial district shall be taxable as costs pursuant to section 1920 of this title.
(1) A subsistence allowance shall be paid to a witness when an overnight stay is required at the place of attendance because such place is so far removed from the residence of such witness as to prohibit return thereto from day to day.
(2) A subsistence allowance for a witness shall be paid in an amount not to exceed the maximum per diem allowance prescribed by the Administrator of General Services, pursuant to section 5702 (a) of title 5, for official travel in the area of attendance by employees of the Federal Government.
(3) A subsistence allowance for a witness attending in an area designated by the Administrator of General Services as a high-cost area shall be paid in an amount not to exceed the maximum actual subsistence allowance prescribed by the Administrator, pursuant to section 5702 (c)(B) [1] of title 5, for official travel in such area by employees of the Federal Government.
(e) An alien who has been paroled into the United States for prosecution, pursuant to section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182 (d)(5)), or an alien who either has admitted belonging to a class of aliens who are deportable or has been determined pursuant to section 240 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1252 (b)) [1] to be deportable, shall be ineligible to receive the fees or allowances provided by this section.
(f) Any witness who is incarcerated at the time that his or her testimony is given (except for a witness to whom the provisions of section 3144 of title 18 apply) may not receive fees or allowances under this section, regardless of whether such a witness is incarcerated at the time he or she makes a claim for fees or allowances under this section.

Historical and Revision Notes
1948 Act
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 600c, section 1115(a) of title 26, U.S.C., 1940, Internal Revenue Code, and section 11–1514 of the D.C. Code, 1940 ed. (R.S. §§ 823, 848; Apr. 26, 1926, ch. 183, § 3,44 Stat. 324; May 17, 1932, ch. 190, 47 Stat. 158; June 25, 1936, ch. 804, 49 Stat. 1921; Feb. 10, 1939, ch. 2, § 1115(a),53 Stat. 160; Dec. 24, 1942, ch. 825, § 1,56 Stat. 1088.
Section consolidates part of section 600c of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with section 1115(a) of title 26, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and section 11–1514 of the D.C. Code, 1940 ed.
Words "or person taking his deposition pursuant to any order of a court of the United States" were added to cover that circumstance.
Reference in section 600c of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., and section 11–1514 of the D.C. Code, 1940 ed., to the district courts of Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, were omitted as covered by the words "any court of the United States".
Provision of section 600c of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for payment of witnesses is incorporated in section 1825 of this title.
Changes were made in phraseology.
Senate Revision Amendment
By Senate amendments, all provisions relating to the Tax Court were eliminated. Therefore, as finally enacted, section 1115(a) of Title 26, U.S.C., Internal Revenue Code, was not one of the sources of this section. However, no change in the text of this section was necessary. See 80th Congress Senate Report No. 1559.1949 Act
This section restores certain provisions of the original statute, R.S. § 848, which were inadvertently omitted from revised title 28, U.S.C., § 1821.

Volunteer security person, Captain Muhammed Ali, checks voters ID... News PhotoClassroom,Direction,Election,General Election,Horizontal,Identity,Kenya,Nairobi,People,Politics,Security,Volunteer,VotingPhotographer AFPCollection: AFP 2013 AFPVolunteer security person, Captain Muhammed Ali, checks voters ID cards and directs them to the correct voting classroom as per their name at the Old Kibera Primary School in Nairobi on March 4, 2013 during the nationwide elections. Long lines of Kenyans queued from way before dawn to vote Monday in the first election since the violence-wracked polls five years ago, with a deadly police ambush hours before polling started marring the key ballot. The tense elections are seen as a crucial test for Kenya, with leaders vowing to avoid a repeat of the bloody 2007-8 post-poll violence in which over 1,100 people were killed and observers repeatedly warning of the risk of renewed conflict.

Sarkar Raj
When Anita Rajan, CEO of Sheppard power plant, an International company, brings a power plant proposal to set up in rural Maharashtra before the Nagres, an insightful Shankar is quick to realize the benefits the power plant can bring to the people. After convincing Sarkar who is against it for various reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Anita to the villages of Maharashtra to mobilize support of the masses. However, things are not what they seem to be, from shady fixers with an eye on multi-million kick-backs or wannabe Shankar's that are ready to incite millions of people against the highly controversial project in a state that is witnessing the worst of coalition politics. Shankar's dream project gradually becomes a political minefield and the evil forces mightier than ever mushroom and gang up to bring down the regime of Sarkar and obliterate Shankar's name from the political horizon.

Cougs seeing pink, Beavers in the Bay
WASHINGTON ST. vs. OREGON
Tom Ward
|Pink or no pink, the Cougars are in trouble at Autzen. The Ducks are favored by nearly 40 points, and I believe it could be even worse than that for the Cougs. While Oregon averages more than 630 yards per game on offense (2nd nationally), the Washington State defense gives up more than 400 yards per game--a deadly combination for WSU. After playing four quarters against 16th ranked Washington, Heisman candidate Marcus Mariota will undoubtedly be able to rest in the second half Saturday night. The UO defense will pick off WSU QB Connor Halliday two or three times, adding to his 13 interceptions thrown so far this season. Prediction: Oregon 58 Washington St. 19
Craig Loper
|The Ducks are coming off their best win of the season against Washington and UCLA comes to town next weekend. Could this be a trap game for the Ducks? Not even. The Cougars are over matched at every position on the field and the Ducks will dominate in every phase of the game. If I'm the Oregon coaching staff, I continue to sit the lightning rod that is De'Anthony Thomas. They don't need him for this game and are perfectly able, as last week proved, to get the job done without him. What will be interesting to watch is how the Ducks' secondary covers the quick-hitting passing attack of Washington State. Expect two or three turnovers and the defense to score a touchdown or two. The Oregon offense will continue to roll and Marcus Mariota's heisman campaign doesn't suffer any setbacks. Prediction: Oregon 59 Washington St. 14
Collin Harmon
|Coming off their big win over Washington, and with UCLA and Stanford looming on the schedule, it would be easy for the Ducks to overlook the Cougars much like the Cardinal did Utah. However, Oregon is too talented all over the field to slip up against WSU. Ducks will get back over 50 points against a below average Cougs defense and have this one wrapped up by halftime. Prediction: Oregon 58 Washington St. 13
John Franchi
|Red hot Oregon will think "pink" Saturday when the Ducks host Washington State. The team will wear pink gear, including helmets, to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer. This newest fashion statement will inspire the Ducks, especially the players who in some way have been affected by cancer. Meanwhile, Washington State is struggling. The Cougars could not hang on to the ball against Oregon State a week ago. If those turnover woes continue, this could be a long night for the Cougs. Even if Washington State doesn't turn the ball over, this should be a long night for the Cougars. Oregon will use this game as a tune up for it's showdown against UCLA next week. The Ducks offense will put up big numbers again. Prediction: Oregon 63 Washington St. 17
OREGON ST. vs CALIFORNIA
Tom Ward
|While the Beavers continue to get healtheir through the middle part of the season, California is in a tough spot injury wise. 11 Golden Bears are out for this game, including seven players who are done for the season. Much of the attritiion has come on the defensive side of the ball, where the Bears can least afford it. They'll be going up against QB Sean Mannion, who is on an absolute tear, and is coming off a 4 TD, 493 yard passing performance in the Palouse. Furthermore, California's pass defense is the worst in the Pac-12, giving up 321 yards per game this season, and 14 TD's. Interceptions? The Bears have only picked off opposing QB's FOUR times. Oregon St. 55, California 23 Prediction: Oregon St. 55 California 23
Craig Loper
|The Beavers are coming off a dominant fourth quarter performance against Washington State last Saturday and I think that confidence rolls into this game. California is struggling, to say the least, to stop anyone on defense. They're dealing with multiple injuries and it's not likely Sonny Dykes' squad finds inspiration for this one. Who will be inspired, however, is Oregon State's Sean Mannion and Brandin Cooks. Both Mannion and Cooks are from the Northern California area and both expressed during the week they were happy to get back to the area and play in front of friends and family. No one has been able to stop the passing attack of OSU and it will be a lot more of the same on Saturday. Expect four touchdowns out of Sean Mannion. The Cal passing attack will be another great test for the Beavers but it helps they just saw a pass-happy offense the previous week. If the Beavers secondary plays like it did in the fourth quarter against Wazzu, it's going to be a long day for true freshman quarterback Jared Goff. Prediction: Oregon St. 49 California 21
Collin Harmon
|Winners of five straight games, the Beavers now find themselves in the mix at 3-0 in conference play. Sean Mannion, Brandin Cooks and the rest of the OSU passing attack has been virtually unstoppable all year long, and now the run game is slowly starting to improve. Cal's defense has struggled all year long and the Bear Raid offense has regressed since entering Pac-12 play. The Beavers will win their sixth straight in blowout fashion. Prediction: Oregon St. 48 California 24
John Franchi
|The second hottest team in the Pac-12 just might be Oregon State. The Beavers should continue rolling this week at California. Oregon State has improved every week, and facing this rebuilding Golden Bear team offers the perfect recipe for that trend to continue. Cal will gain plenty of yards in the air. That is what that team does. But can they keep up with the marvelous Sean Mannion and company? Not a chance. The Beaver defense will shut down the Golden Bears. The Beaver offense will be explosive again. Oregon State keeps pace in the Pac-12 North race. Prediction: Oregon St. 56 California 35
|Last week, everyone but Collin correctly picked the Ducks and Beavers both winning in the Evergreen State. Craig also nailed Oregon's 45-24 score against the Huskies, earning him the bonus point for the week. John continues to lead the overall standings, but Tom has earned the most bonus points this season.

Patti Page, the Claremore native who made "Tennessee Waltz" one of the best-selling recordings ever, has died. She was 85.
Page died New Year's Day in Encinitas, Calif., her manager said. She was one of the top-selling female singers in history with more than 100 million record sales and created a distinctive sound for the music industry in 1947 by overdubbing her own voice when she didn't have enough money to hire backup singers for the single, "Confess."

The new Samsung 'Go' Netbook will be available through AT&T. This compact netbook's operating system will be the Microsoft 7 Starter Edition, and it will be able to instantly connect to the AT&T 3G network. It has 1 GB of system memory, a 160 GB hard drive, three USB 2.0 ports, and an external VGA port.
The Good
The 'Go' is very light at only two and a half pounds, and has a LED-backlit glass display that provides great viewing quality, which helps to reduce eye strain. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, with more spacing between the keys than one would expect from a small Netbook. It is also a very attractive Netbook, with rounded corners, midnight blue color, and a pebble-style keyboard. The battery can hold its charge during normal usage for up to four hours. It is powerful and fast enough for full internet functionality and it has a more reasonable price tag than some of its competitors in the market. The retail price of the Samsung 'Go' Netbook is projected to be $199.99 after rebates, and the data plans offered by AT&T for the 'Go' are also projected to be a good value.
The Bad
There is nothing particularly new or cutting edge about this new 'Go' Netbook. In fact, it is quite similar to the Samsung 'Go' N310, which was released earlier. Although the battery holds its charge for four hours of normal usage, the Nokia Booklet 3G battery can hold its charge for twice that amount of time.
The Bottom Line
For those who are looking for a good reasonably priced Netbook which has access to AT&T's fast 3G network and is coupled with a reasonably priced data plan, the Samsung 3G Netbook is a good choice. Although it does not add many new features from the previous model, it is a good machine, which would be an excellent choice for most people.

SACKETS HARBOR Village trustees on Tuesday night appeared to support the request from a group of village and town of Hounsfield teens to make improvements to the skateboard park behind the village office building.
Skaters in attendance complained of an uneven surface and potholes in the park, making it unsafe. Chris V. Showard, 13, Braeden S. Kitto, 12, and Katie E. Wickum, 15, said in a prepared statement that improving the park would give them a safe place to hang out and bring more people into the village. They said their parents and friends would help support improvements at the space.
However, skateboarders have drawn complaints from residents for riding in the way of traffic on roads listed as off-limits in a village law.
The skateboarding law, passed in 2011, limits where skaters can go and how they ride. First-time offenders can face a $50 fine, which increases to $100 for later offenses.
Village Trustee John W. LaDuc said there were plans to make improvements this fall, including placing new lights.
He asked the teens to attend the village and town Joint Parks and Recreation Commission meeting at 6 p.m. on Sept. 19.
We have an objective, its about getting it implemented, he said after the meeting.
Trustee Peter R. Daly said the teens would gain more support by following village law.
Richard G. Butch Coseo, sergeant in charge for the Sackets Harbor Police Department, said he was more concerned about safety and would look into the price of buying reflector belts for skaters to use. He said he had not ticketed anyone under the law.

RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS ARE PITCHING INTwo tales of Aug. 1 referendum vote-rocking
If some people did not understand the wild and crazy passion of Islanders fans before, they should have a better understanding before the arena referendum hits one week from today. Islanders fans of all ages and from all locales, in the middle of the summer and with plenty of other things they could be doing, are donating their own time to rock the YES vote. There are hundreds of illustrations, as you can see by going on Facebook and Twitter. But here are a pair of different examples in which people, to coin a sports phrase, are "doing the little things."
Robert Mallon is a vendor at Tri-County Flea Market in Levittown. In this economy, no one would blame Rob for putting all of his efforts and resources into his business. But not this Islanders fan.
Rob has made decals and T-shirts urging Nassau residents to vote YES on Aug. 1. He has signs all over his space. Rob is able to produce banners and shirts when his stand is open from Thursday to Sunday. He talks to customers and non-customers alike about the upcoming referendum. His booth has become an information kiosk for the vote. In the cause to keep the Islanders in Nassau County and develop the Colisuem property, Rob is a hero.
Then there are the former Long Islanders and life-long NYI fans trying to do their part.
Peter Figur is a successful middle-aged professional who moved out of the New York when his business transferred him. He now lives in Atlanta. Feeling like he had to do something, Peter – as many supporters outside of Nassau have done in recent weeks – has contacted every single registered voter in his Rolodex. With his permission, here is the letter Peter sent to his contacts:
"I need a favor. I need for you to do two things.
"1) Vote YES for the Nassau Coliseum Arena Referendum on August 1st in Nassau County and 2) Spread the word – Forward this email to as many people that you know.
"Why am I asking you for help? Because I care about the New York Islanders and the future of Long Island.
"I can't vote….You can.
"As you all know the Nassau Coliseum is falling apart. Without a new arena the Islanders will leave Long Island and quite possibly New York. The Islanders have a long rich history and are embedded in the fabric of Long Island. Remember how proud we all were in the early eighties when they won four Stanley Cups. Today, they have a very exciting and young team. They had one of the best records in the second half of the season last year with one of the lowest payrolls in the league. Imagine what they will be when they start investing more in the team. Lord Stanley is on the verge of returning to where he belongs. Long Island needs to show their support and be proud again.
"But the arena is not all about hockey. Think of all the concerts and events that have been there over the years. Think how much better it can be. Let's make Nassau County a destination for Long Islanders to enjoy and to benefit from. Charles Wang, owner of the Islanders, has been working for over a decade on this issue. He pushed the Lighthouse project for many years. This was a multi-billion dollar project to build a new arena and develop the area around the Coliseum. It would have brought thousands of construction jobs and thousands of permanent jobs to Nassau County. With unemployment at an all-time high this would have been welcome news. The best part about the project is that Charles Wang was going to pay for it himself and it was going to cost the taxpayers ZERO dollars! The issues were not about the cost of the project, just the zoning rights and increased traffic. It failed due to politics and nothing else. Democrats vs Republicans. Does this sound familiar?
"Now Mr. Wang is working with Nassau County to build a new area. It will cost the taxpayers a whopping $13.80 per year. Any cost overruns will be paid by Charles Wang himself. By the way, a study shows that if the Islanders leave Long Island and they have to close the Coliseum, it will COST the taxpayers $16 a year with higher taxes to make up the difference. Let's see. Do something good for Long Island and pay $13.80 per year or don't do anything and increase taxes $16 per year. Seems like an easy decision. Building a new arena will keep thousands of jobs on Long Island and build a first class arena that will be able to attract large business conventions, other sporting events (e.g., NCAA final four), more concerts and also keep the Islanders on Long Island for 30 years.
"Please support the New York Islanders and make Long Island a better place. Spread the message to as many people as possible.
"Vote YES on August 1st!
"Thanks for your help. I, as well as all Long Islanders, appreciate your help."
Comments on this are welcomed.

Adventures With Red Rock Arches –
You don't have to travel to Arches National Park; experience Arizona's Red Rock Arches within a 1.5 hour drive from Grand Canyon Bed and Breakfast.
Most people come to Fay Canyon to see the natural arch that's located just under a mile up the trail. But those who don't know about it usually walk right past it. Though the Fay Canyon Arch is by no means small, it looks so much like an ordinary rock overhang it's easy to glance right at it and not realize what you've seen. If you keep watching the rock wall to the north (right) side of the trail sooner or later you'll spot it. Then the short, steep trail up to the arch can be a little hard to locate too.
After you've found the arch you may want to continue on up the trail. This small, hidden canyon supports a diverse community of desert plants and provides good views of the surrounding cliffs. The trail follows an old jeep track which eventually turns into a footpath. It dead ends at a red Supai sandstone cliff where you can see evidence of some ancient Indian dwellings and marvel at the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you.

Devil's Bridge is the largest natural sandstone arch in the Sedona area; don't let its name fool you: It's one of the most heavenly sights in an area famous for them.
From a trailhead elevation of 4,600 feet, there's a mere 400 foot climb in altitude during this moderately difficult, 1.8-mile roundtrip trek; the journey to reach the top won't leave you breathless — but we would never say the same about the views you'll witness when you finally get there.
This popular hike has attractions for both casual hikers who lack the desire or the stamina to stray too far from civilization, and the more adventurous outdoors enthusiasts. Starting at the parking area, follow the trailmarker that points the way to Devil's Bridge Trail. You'll find the early going effortless; the trail, originally built for jeep travel, is smooth and clear and leads you through washes filled with juniper and prickly pear cactus.

Take an easy hike along the bottom of Sterling Canyon. The drainage is dry most of the year. Shade is available, but it would be wise to carry some water in the warm months.
The signed trailhead is on the east side of the parking area. The well maintained trail almost immediately enters Wilderness and climbs gradually in the shade of Arizona cypress beside a dry stream bed on the floor of Sterling Canyon. There are occasional views of red rock formations to the left and of the sheer walls of Lost Wilson Mountain on the right. After .75 miles, the trail enters stands of ponderosa pine and oak which show the scars from the 1996 "Arch" fire. Nearing the 1.75 mile point, there is a marked fork.

OK, I honestly don't know what the hell made me lie about "computer problems" on my last thread when the truth was "this site is sucking up all my productivity and I have a lot of schoolwork this year". I'd stop by briefly to check my forum battles and end up getting sucked in, so I decided to erase my computer's memory of the sites I visit so I wouldn't have the distraction. And no, this wasn't something my parents made me do because my grades were dropping or anything; I made the choice to stop visiting the site (and Mocpages, Classic-Space LEGO, various flickr pages, etc.) entirely by myself. Sorry about that; it won't happen again.
I'm glad to see that stuff hasn't changed *too* much. I was afraid I'd come back and everything would be completely different.

|Richard and Dedee Dart's photography service was one of the first in the state to shoot wedding photos entirely digital.
Almost everyone has seen the movie "Father of the Bride." And in it Martin Short as the wedding planner.
Then they made a movie called "The Wedding Planner" with Jennifer Lopez who tried to teach others the rules of getting married, but broke them herself.
And of course there was the production of "The Wedding Singer" where Adam Sandler played the seemingly never to be married performer who makes everyone elses wedding miserable because he was left at the alter without a bride one time.
Then there is the wedding photographer. No movie, at least not yet, but in Price they are the ones that preserve the memories for those getting hitched.
|Tom Berryman and his daughters love unique locations in which to shoot wedding photos. This image was created at the Great Salt Lake.
And by the examples on this page they do it well.
Tom Berryman owns Western Photo Company which opened in 1995 and he feels it is important to tell the story of the wedding. For the pre-wedding photos the location is important. He works with his two daughters, Tami Smith and Mariann Davis, to take photos that a couple can be proud of.
"We like doing candid shots," says Ellen Berryman who assists her husband in his business.
Berryman and his crew shoots their photos with 35 mm film.
Then there is Dart Photography. Richard and Dedee Dart find that Bridal with a Bridle is popular; horses and weddings seem to go together well here, especially in photos.
"We want to do what ever the customer wants and to make them happy with our work," says Dedee. "Of course the summer is good for outside shooting, but of course for the more formal look the studio is the place to be."
|Kimball Johnson shoots a lot of photos in his studio but also likes remote work. He finds that weddings are such stressful times, so if a photographer can make the session fun it is better for everyone involved.
They shoot all their photos with a digital camera and use very little flash photography at the wedding site. They haul their lights with them to get it just right.
Next is Kimball Johnson, who owns CaveArt Photographics. One of the things he finds important is that the photographic sessions are positive. Weddings are stressfull times and often families and participants are stressed.
"I find that people are often not in great moods when we are shooting wedding photos," he says. "There are usually a lot of people and they are all anxious about not only the photos but the upcoming event. At the wedding itself I just try to stay out of their way and mill around with the crowd. I find some of the most interesting photos are of the people at the wedding that are in the crowd."
On top of that there is always someone else taking photos (like an uncle or cousin) when he is at remote sites away from the studio or at the wedding itself. He just lets them go ahead and photograph the same thing he does; he stays out of their way. He says taking photos at weddings take a lot of diplomacy, but that it is very rewarding. He uses digital photography for all his shots.

WHEATFIELD, NY - The right person, in the right place, at the right time can save a life - but only if they have the right knowledge.
That's why learning CPR can be such an important skill and why a local first responder is spending a lot of his own time and money to make sure hundreds of kids are ready to act at a moment's notice.
Niagara Falls Air Reserve Firefighter Joe Foucha is teaching some important lessons to sixth graders at Niagara Wheatfield Middle School.
By Monday, about three-hundred of them, including his son, will have the knowledge to save a life if they're ever needed.
"So what I'm hoping to see is that they don't be afraid," says Joe. "I told all of them, it doesn't matter if the person's 40, or 14, or whatever. It doesn't mean the person knows more. They can be the hero, they can be the person who steps in where a crowd is watching something happen and say, I'll take care of it, I'll be the hero today and I'll try. That's what it boils down to: courage."
Three days this week and next Monday, he's sharing his CPR knowledge with the help of fellow EMTs and dummy equipment he bought from his own pocket.
And it's not easy.
"It's tiring," says Joe. "We just came off a 48-hour shift, rolling into 72 hours of CPR training. But, if one life gets saved you can look back and say you did something worthwhile."
No one asked him to hold these classes. In fact, he started this program with his own money and time, along with help from friends.
He even plans to spend more money and time to expand it next year.
"I would like to do it every year," says Joe. "And, like I said, those numbers add up. It starts at 300. Next year, 600. You just add 3 and 3 and 3. You have to assume with those numbers somebody's going to save a life."
If you're interested in learning CPR, the American Red Cross has a long list of classes on its website, redcross.org.

Since 1988 Washburn University has honored veterans annually with a ceremony located at the Vietnam Memorial, southeast of Morgan Hall. Previous ceremonies have included static displays, 21 gun salute, taps with echo, balloon release for Agent Orange victims, and a reception immediately following the ceremony.
The 2014 ceremony will be held on 11/11/14 at the Vietnam Memorial, southeast of Morgan Hall. A cleansing and blessing of the memorial site will begin at 11:40 A.M. and the formal ceremony will begin at 12:00 P.M.
Contact us with questions/ideas/concerns regarding the ceremony.
In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. This site, on a hillside overlooking the Potomac River and the city of Washington, became the focal point of reverence for America's veterans. Similar ceremonies occurred earlier in England and France, where an unknown soldier was buried in each nation's highest place of honor (in England, Westminster Abbey; in France, the Arc de Triomphe).
These memorial gestures all took place on November 11 giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11:00 AM, November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day became known as "Armistice Day."
Armistice Day officially received its name in America in 1926 through a congressional resolution. It became a national holiday 12 years later by similar congressional action. If the idealistic hope had been realized that World War I was "the War to end all Wars," November 11 might still be called Armistice Day. But only a few years after the holiday was proclaimed, war broke out in Europe, sixteen and one-half Americans took part, four hundred seven thousand of them died in service, more than 292,000 in battle.
Realizing that peace was equally preserved by veterans of World War II and Korea, Congress was requested to make this day an occasion to honor those who have served America in all wars. In 1954 President Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day.
On Memorial Day 1958, two more unidentified American war dead were brought from overseas and interred in the plaza beside the unknown soldier of World War I. One was killed in World War II, the other in the Korean War. In 1973, a law passed providing interment of an unknown American from the Vietnam War, but none was found for several years. In 1984, an unknown service man from that conflict was placed alongside the others. To honor these men, symbolic of all Americans who gave their lives in all wars, an Army Honor Guard, the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), keeps vigil day and night at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.
A law passed in 1968 changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent, however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans. Therefore, in 1978, Congress returned the observance to its original date.

Comments about Eagles Nest Outfitters Atlas Strap:
I really like that you can wrap the strap multiple times around the tree to shorten the strap. The price was excellent. Its important to me that I can adjust my straps as tight as possible otherwise I don't get a good sleep. This is why the Atlas straps were my choice. The loops are close together making it easy to pick up even an inch more slack.

Comments about Eagles Nest Outfitters Atlas Strap:
These straps are easy to set up, perfect size to fit into any size bag, and when paired with an ENO hammock its pretty much heaven.
The plus side to these straps over the Slap Strap Pro and the Slap Strap is the loops that are closer together making it easier to find a comfortable length for your hammock.

This is my first actual post;
Some background:
It's an aeronautical chart which is supposed to depict obstacles in the take off flight paths for airports, this first picture is just a section, but I need help on the color scheme. The aeronautical chart manual on which this chart is based was created way before digital era and even thinking of using colors, so it is all black and white however nowdays we usually add color.
To begin with I use ESRI products but for this particular case I am using Inkscape as it only needs to be retouched and have a close deadline, plus I would like to learn to make some maps like I have seen here.
I need some help on deciding the colors for
1. City Blocks - fill & Stroke
2. River - Fill & stroke
3. Topographic Curves - I would like to mantain the used colors but open to suggestions
Keep in mind this is not the final product, but I am open to suggestions as I want to improve my skills
Best regards

I ran into a little push-back about assessment. The chief complaint was that increasing the number of assessments requires teachers to give up more instructional time to test kids. I couldn't agree more with. We don't need more tests. We need more instruction.
But here's the deal. Assessment is not testing. Assessment is determining if learning is actually taking place. In fact, assessment is a vital component on excellent instruction, and without assessment, you're not delivering instruction. You're disseminating information and opportunities to learn. "

Observational Study in UTERO - Placental 3D Doppler Examination: Interest for Pre-eclampsia Screening During Pregnancy (PLACENTA3D)

- How to Read a Study Record
Pre-eclampsia and intra uterine growth restriction (IUGR) represent major complications for pregnant women, with a high related maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. It is now widely admitted that these pathologies, which can concern up to 7% of pregnancies, are in relation with hypo-perfusion of the placenta because of an early deficient trophoblast invasion and uterine vascular remodelling.Advances in ultrasound imaging now permit non invasive 3D volume and Doppler signal quantification using automatic acquisitions.Quantitative comparison of volumes and Doppler parameters between control pregnancies and IUGR ought to confirm the theory of UTERO-placental hypo-perfusion. This technique might allow an earlier prediction for IUGR. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of 3D Doppler quantification as a new screening tool for pre eclampsia and IUGR.

Energy natural resources continue to play a crucial role in the local and state economies.
Coal mining activity in the Castle Valley region represents Utah's original energy claim to fame. Since extraction operations began in the mid-1800s, coal has been the main energy source for the state.
Many power plants rely on the high quality, low sulfur coal from the Wasatch Plateau to generate electricity, indicated Michael Hanni, Utah Department of Workforce Services economist.
After several years of decline, coal production in Utah climbed 10 percent in 2005 compared with the previous year, pointed out Hanni. Employment in coal mining jumped statewide, with the number of jobs increasing nearly 14 percent or 1,768 positions.
However, the gains are primarily the result of coal mines coming back online and, thus, employment growth in the industry is likely to moderate, explained Hanni.
Oil and natural gas have followed different paths in terms of Utah's energy resource industries, noted the DWS economist.
The state's oil production peaked in 1985 at an impressive 40.8 million barrels. Since that time, production has been in a steady decline, reaching a low of 13.1 million barrels in 2003.
But in response to high oil prices, production climbed in 2004 and 2005 to total 14.6 million and 15.6 million barrels respectively.
In 2005, marketable gas production in Utah reached a decade-long high of 302 billion cubic feet.
Employment in the combined oil and gas industries climbed from 3,002 jobs statewide in 2004 to 4,010 positions in 2005 for a 33.6 percent increase.
Of the additional 1,008 jobs, 47 percent were related to the drilling of oil and gas wells, according to the DWS economist.
Another 44 percent came from companies servicing oil and gas operations. Only 9 percent of the job increase was due to increased production employment.
"How long will this last? How long will Utah's energy resources be in such high demand? How long will the energy boom in the Uintah Basin last? Best bets appear to point to sustained demand. As energy resources in other areas of the nation become depleted - and the flat growth of natural gas and oil production in long-term forecasts from the Energy Information Administration - the use of Utah's coal, oil and gas will become even more competitive," concluded Hanni.

Top Ten Mellow Songs About Vampires, Blood & The Undead (page 3)
May 3, 2011 7:22 PM
8. "Blood Roses"-[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Tori Amos[/lastfm]
Tori Amos is renowned for writing songs about women that have been used and abused by men. "Blood Roses" is of the same vein, except it alludes to the vampiric quality of a man who would suck the life out of you.
The vampire metaphor is furthered by Amos making mention of what is easily the literary vampire capital of the world–New Orleans:
The Belle of New Orleans tried to show me/Once how to tango/Wrapped around you feet/Wrapped around like good little roses
