Gender identity is beautifully complicated and richly varied. Figuring out one's own gender identity (and that doesn't just happen once, as gender identity can change over time) can be very automatic, or can involve some degree of deep thought and personal work.

Congress faces long to-do list, uncertain success
WASHINGTON (AP) — A gridlocked Congress failed to do the big things: overhauling the nation's immigration system, reforming the loophole-cluttered tax code and stiffening background checks on gun buyers. Now it's time to see whether it can just do the basics.
With just two weeks before lawmakers' sacrosanct August break, progress is decidedly mixed on several must-pass items due to Capitol Hill partisanship, heightened by midterm elections and the Obama administration's conflicting signals to Congress. Lawmakers must find about $10 billion to keep highway projects on track through next spring, ease long wait times for veterans seeking health care and deal with a humanitarian crisis of some 57,000 unaccompanied immigrant children who have entered the U.S. along the Southern border since last fall.
Looming large is legislation to keep the government operating beyond the start of the fiscal year on Oct. 1; the House has completed seven of the 12 spending bills while the Senate has done none. A once-promising effort to revive the appropriations process in the Senate appears to have derailed in a test of wills between top Senate leaders over the rights of Republicans to offer amendments to legislation.
"You have to be optimistic and you have to keep on working," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday. "It's just a stunning thing that no matter what it is, the president is for it, the Republicans are against it."
The California Democrat said congressional critics are not "overstating" the severity of gridlock on Capitol Hill.
It's looking increasingly possible, even likely, that the warring parties won't come together to pass President Barack Obama's request for $3.7 billion to help deal with children flooding into the country from Central America. The main roadblock is whether to also change a 2008 law that guarantees these minors, many of whom are fleeing violence, a hearing before an immigration judge.
"I doubt it," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who helped craft a comprehensive Senate immigration bill last year that remains stalled in the House.
Congressional aides in both parties say the politics over changing the 2008 law to make it easier for the Border Patrol to immediately send back unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras has all but sunk Obama's request. The administration has sent contradictory signals on whether it would be open to toughening the law – a non-negotiable demand of Republicans. Congressional Democrats are balking at using the emergency funding bill to advance changes to the 2008 statute.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Republicans on Monday of "resorting to ransoming children to get their way." Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said in a statement on Tuesday that the public won't support billions more for the border unless Congress makes policy changes to return migrant kids home faster.
Boehner said Obama's unwillingness to stand up to Democrats jeopardizes "our ability to find common ground and help the kids who are caught in the middle of this crisis."
And in what seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago, aides say it's looking like negotiations over House- and Senate-passed veterans' health legislation have bogged down after the administration upped the ante with a demand for almost $18 billion to hire 10,000 doctors, nurses and other health care aides, and lease new facilities to create additional capacity over the coming three years. That request, on top of about $30 billion to permit veterans facing long waits to seek treatment outside the Veterans Affairs system, has unnerved GOP negotiators.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate Veterans Committee, said "it is clear the VA needs more doctors, need more nurses and in many cases they need more space," and it would be a mistake not to deal with the issue in legislation.
The panel's top Republican, North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, said the nearly $18 billion doesn't have to be part of any agreement worked out with the House, and he remained optimistic that something could be done in two weeks.
Said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.: "If we can't come together on a veterans' bill, it certainly highlights the problems we've had in getting anything done here. One would think veterans would overcome any of those challenges."
The pressure is on.
"Pass a bill or don't come back from recess," said William A. Thien, the national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Things are looking more promising for legislation to "patch" the highway trust fund after an overwhelming House vote last week. Both Republicans and Democrats predict the Senate will end up simply accepting the House measure, which will keep highway and transit money flowing through May 2015.
Republicans eager to avert a politically disastrous partial government shutdown may try to move a short-term spending measure to keep the government open until after the November elections. The legislation could come as early as next week, or be put off until September, when the House is scheduled to be in session just 12 days. Either way, GOP conservatives no longer want a shutdown showdown over implementing Obama's signature health care law close to the midterm elections, especially with a legitimate shot at winning a Senate majority.
Conservatives are, however, targeting the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance exports of U.S. companies such as aircraft maker Boeing. Establishment Republicans support extending the Ex-Im Bank's authority past a Sept. 30 deadline. Tea party forces are opposed, and the internecine GOP struggle may play out in September as a backdrop to a short-term spending measure to prevent a shutdown.
The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill last week to extend a program that helped stabilize jittery insurance markets in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the bill has hit a snag in the House and won't pass until this fall at the earliest.
Pelosi made her remarks Tuesday morning in an interview on MSNBC.

New Farm Bill Offers Choices
Posted: 2014-04-14
Category: Government Programs
The new Farm Bill, which will govern farm commodity programs for the next five years (2014-2018) will offer several new farm program choices for producers to consider. Direct payments will be eliminated, as will potential counter-cyclical payments, the average crop revenue (ACRE) program, and the permanent disaster program for crops (SURE), which were all part of the last Farm Bill. These programs will be replaced by either a new revenue-based Ag Risk Coverage (ARC) program, or a Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. [ read more ... ]
Passage of the New Farm Bill
Posted: 2014-02-03
Category: Government Programs
The long-awaited new Farm Bill finally passed the U.S. House on Wednesday, January 29, by a vote of 251-166. The legislation is likely to pass the U.S. Senate in the coming days, and will be signed into law by President Obama shortly after that. The new Farm Bill will reduce overall Federal spending, will reduce total CRP acreage, and will make some significant changes to farm commodity programs. The new Farm Bill will govern Federal farm programs for the next five years (2014-2018), and commodity programs will be implemented for the 2014 crop year. [ read more ... ]
Farm Bill Conference Committee
Posted: 2013-11-20
Category: Government Programs
The forty-one members of the U.S. House and Senate Conference Committee, designated to determine a new Farm Bill, are in the process of trying to reach a compromise on the versions of the new Farm Bill that were passed earlier this year by both the Senate and House. There are a lot of major differences in the two versions of the Farm Bill that need to be worked out by the Conference Committee, as well as some other issues that will likely impact the debate. The current Farm Bill extension expired on September 30, 2013, with many programs and provisions set to be discontinued after December 31, 2013, so timing is very critical for this Conference Committee.

Government Shutdown Impacts Farmers
Posted: 2013-10-21
Category: Government Programs
As of October 1st, the Federal government officially went into a "shutdown" mode, meaning that all government services deemed as "non-essential" were temporarily discontinued. Federal offices were closed and Federal employees were placed on indefinite "furlough". There have been 17 Federal government shutdowns since 1976, with the longest lasting 21 days in 1995-96. As of this writing, there is still no resolution forthcoming on the Federal government shutdown. [ read more ]
New Farm Bill defeated in the U.S. House
Posted: 2013-07-05
Category: Government Programs
After nearly two years of discussions and debate, a new Farm Bill appeared a bit closer to being enacted into law; however, on June 20th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted down the new Farm Bill by a vote of 195-234. Several weeks ago, the New Farm Bill was passed by the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, with strong bi-partisan support. Ranking Democrat on the U.S. House Ag Committee, MN Seventh District Congressman Collin Peterson, maintained his support for the new Farm Bill, as did fellow-Ag Committee member, MN First District Congressman (D) Tim Walz; however, MN Eighth District Congressman Rick Nolan (D), also on the Ag Committee, opposed the new Farm Bill. Minnesota's Congressional delegation was split 4-4 on the vote for a new Farm Bill. [ read more ... ]
General CRP Sign-Up
Posted: 2013-06-13
Category: Government Programs
A General Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) sign-up is currently occurring at local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices throughout the United States. The General CRP sign-up period will run from May 20 through June 14. General CRP sign-ups were also held in 2012 when 3.6 million acres were accepted into CRP, in 2011 with 3.75 million acres were accepted into CRP, and in 2010 when about 4.2 million acres were accepted into CRP. CRP was originally established in the 1985 Farm Bill, and today has over 700,000 CRP contracts on over 390,000 farms, with just under 27.0 million acres under some-type of CRP contracts.

2013 ACRE Program Decision
Posted: 2013-05-21
Category: Government Programs
The "Average Crop Revenue Election" (ACRE) Program was implemented by USDA for the 2009 crop year, as part of the 2008 Farm Bill), and continued for the 2010 to 2012 crop years. For 2013, eligible farm operators will again have the option to enroll in the ACRE Program, as an alternative to the current "Counter-Cyclical Payment" (CCP) Program. The ACRE Program will offer the potential of "revenue-based" payments, based on yield and price, as compared to current "price-only" CCP calculations. The official ACRE program information is available at County Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices, and on the USDA FSA web site at : http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA
2013 CRP Program Update
Posted: 2013-04-22
Category: Government Programs
In 2013, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is celebrating its 27th anniversary, and over two and a half decades of conservation success. CRP was originally established in the 1985 Farm Bill, and today has over 390,000 landowners participating, most of which are farmers and ranchers, and currently has just over 27.0 million acres under some-type of CRP contracts. Another General CRP will be held in 2013, with the sign-up period from May 20 through June 14, 2013, at local FSA Offices. [ read more ... ]
2013 Farm Program Sign-UP
Posted: 2013-02-09
Category: Government Programs
In early January, Congress voted to extend the 2008 Farm Bill, which expired on September 30, 2012, for an additional year, with a new expiration date of September 30, 2013. This means that most existing programs in the 2008 Farm Bill will continue for the 2013 growing season. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) recently announced that sign-up for the 2013 farm program will begin on February 19, 2013, at local FSA Offices, and run through August 2, 2013. [ read more ... ]
Farm Bill Extension For 2013
Posted: 2013-02-09
Category: Government Programs
As part of the Congressional agreement that was passed to avoid to so-called "fiscal cliff", the 2008 Farm Bill was extended through the 2013 crop year, and will now expire on September 30, 2013. The extension of the current Farm Bill was viewed as a big disappointment to several members of Congress from both parties, as well as by many agricultural organizations and other groups that were hoping for reform in ag policy with a new Farm Bill. In late April, 2012, the U.S. Senate passed a version of the new Farm Bill, which was followed by the U.S. House Agriculture Committee passing a new Farm Bill out of Committee during the Summer of 2012. However, the U.S. House failed to take up the new Farm Bill on the House floor prior to the end of the 2012 Congressional session, resulting in the one-year extension of the current Farm Bill.

New Farm Bill Update
Posted: 2012-12-14
Category: Government Programs
The current Farm Bill expired on September 30, 2012, and some programs will be discontinued without a new Farm Bill, or an extension of the current Farm Bill. In late April, 2012, the U.S. Senate passed their version of the next Farm Bill, which was followed by the U.S. House Agriculture Committee passing a Farm Bill out of Committee during the Summer months. However, the U.S. House failed to take up the Farm Bill on the House floor prior to the Congressional recess before the 2012 Election. [ read more ... ]
"Fiscal Cliff" Will Affect Farm Operators
Posted: 2012-12-04
Category: Government Programs
The so-called "fiscal cliff" is a name that has been attached to the combination off spending cuts and tax increases at the Federal level that are scheduled to take effect at the end of 2012, if Congress fails to reach an agreement to address the Federal budget deficit. Both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House are trying to find a Federal Budget compromise that can be passed by both Houses of Congress, and ultimately signed into law by President Obama. Congress has set up legislation that will allow the automatic tax increases and federal spending reductions to occur, if no budget agreement is reached. [ read more ... ]
2012 Farm Program Sign-up
Posted: 2012-05-23
Category: Government Programs
Eligible farm operators and land owners have until June 1, 2012, to enroll in the 2012 DCP farm program at County Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices, including the ACRE program for 2012. As of early May, only about half of the producers were enrolled in the 2012 DCP farm program in many counties. Producers must enroll in the 2012 DCP farm program in order to receive direct payments for 2012 on eligible crop base acres, as well as other program benefits. [ read more ... ]
2012 ACRE Program
Posted: 2012-05-11
Category: Government Programs
Producers that previously enrolled in the ACRE for the 2009, 2010 or 2011 crop year will be enrolled in ACRE for 2012, provided that they sign-up for the 2012 Farm Program at County FSA offices, and meet all other program criteria. Other producers can enroll in ACRE for 2012 when they sign-up for the 2012 Farm Program, or at anytime until June 1, 2012. ACRE enrollment does require a signature from landlords on cash rental farm units, and results in a 20 percent reduction in direct payments for 2012. Producers are encouraged to analyze situations and scenarios that are more favorable for ACRE enrollment for 2012, as compared to continuing with the traditional DCP farm program. [ read more ... ]
Future Of The CRP Program
Posted: 2012-04-04
Category: Government Programs
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is likely to be a key focal point during the development of the next Farm Bill in the coming months. In an era when the Congress and the Administration are looking to reduce the Federal budget deficit, there will be pressure to reduce the current annual expenditure of just under $2.0 billion on the CRP program, including about $1.7 billion in annual rental payments. Most experts expect the size of the CRP program to be reduced from the current maximum level of 32 million acres to around a maximum of 25 million acres in the next Farm Bill. [ read more ... ]
CRP Sign-Up
Posted: 2012-03-12
Category: Government Programs
USDA has announced a General Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) sign-up from March 12 through April 6, 2012, at County Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices throughout the Country. There are approximately 6.5 million acres of CRP land with expiring contracts on September 30, 2012. General CRP sign-ups were also held in 2011, when 3.75 million acres were accepted into CRP, and in 2010, when about 4.2 million acres were accepted into CRP. In 2011, the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) celebrated its 25th anniversary, and over two and a half decades of conservation success. CRP was originally established in the 1985 Farm Bill. Today, there are over 400,000 landowners participating in CRP, most of which are farmers and ranchers, and there are currently just under 29.7 million acres under some-type of CRP contracts.

New Farm Bill Stalled
Posted: 2011-12-16
Category: Government Programs
In mid-November it appeared that we may be heading for a quick resolution toward adopting a new Farm Bill. U.S. Senate Ag Committee Chair, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan), and U.S. House Ag Committee Chair, Representative Frank Lucas (R-Oklahoma), drafted potential new Farm Bill language to be included in a proposed Congressional Super Committee agreement to reduce the Federal Budget deficit by $1.2 trillion. The Super Committee did not reach agreement, so there was never an opportunity to have the new Farm Bill proposal included in any final agreement. [ read more ... ]
DCP And Acre Program Sign-Up For 2012
Posted: 2011-11-29
Category: Government Programs
USDA announced in earlier this Fall that sign-up for the 2012 DCP and ACRE programs at County Farm Service Agency (FSA) Offices will not start until January 23, 2012, and will continue through June 1, 2012. There is no scheduled advance direct payment for 2012, so the entire 2012 direct payment will be paid to producers after October 1, 2012. Producers that enrolled in the ACRE program in 2009, 2010 or 2011, or that opt for the ACRE program for 2012, will have their total direct payments reduced by 20 percent for 2012. Producers that have changes in owned and rented land for 2012 will need to have those adjustments made at the County FSA office prior to enrolling in the 2012 DCP program. Any changes in government farm programs resulting from a potential new Farm Bill most likely would not be implemented until the 2013 crop year. [ read more ... ]
Farm Bill Cuts Likely
Posted: 2011-11-09
Category: Government Programs
Balancing the Federal budget and making budget reductions has been receiving major attention in recent months. Major developments have included the debt ceiling /deficit reduction bill passed by Congress this past Summer, and the current 12-member Congressional super committee that was named to develop an adjustment plan for the federal budget deficit. If the Super Committee can not reach an agreement, the Administration will be authorized to make across-the board cuts in nearly all Federal programs. [ read more ... ]

"Pain Code": Get Pain Under Control Quickly

Pain Code: Get Pain Under Control Quickly
Charles F. von Gunten, MD, PhD
Posted: 09/08/2011
Free Medscape registration required
....Imagine a patient who has advanced cancer who has been admitted to the hospital complaining of 10 out of 10 pain. Your goal is to get the pain under control quickly. The most important fact to remember is this -- the time to pain control is the same as the time to the maximum concentration of the opioid in the blood.
So for a drug such as morphine given intravenously, the time to maximum concentration is 8 minutes. Therefore, successive doses of morphine can be given every 8 minutes. For someone whose pain is completely out of control, 10 out of 10, you want to double the dose to get that pain under control.
So for example, with the patient I described, with 10 out of 10 pain, he might have been on a patient-controlled analgesia dose of 1 mg of morphine. You want to double it to 2 mg. If after 8 minutes that pain is not controlled, you double it again. That would be a 4-mg dose. Wait 8 minutes. If the patient is not experiencing any relief, then you want to double it again to 8 mg. If the patient is still not getting any relief after another 8 minutes, double it again to 16 mg.
The point here is you're doubling the dose of the opioid at the level of the receptor. When the patient begins to describe relief, you found the dose that is controlling that person's pain.
The most frequent mistake that people make is they dose every half-life. When someone is in a pain crisis, you want to get on top of that pain quickly. You want to avoid the demoralization that comes from not being able to deal with the pain right away...

All summer long, NHL Network will be replaying the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs -- from every jaw-dropping goal to every highlight-reel save to every crushing defeat.
Each game of the postseason -- spanning the more than two-month period from the opening round to Boston's Game 7 clincher of the Stanley Cup Final -- will be shown on the Network throughout the offseason.
Fans can tune in at 8 p.m. ET nightly for a different game -- and different chance to re-live history. A complete program schedule can be found on NHLNetwork.com.
After earning his third career playoff shutout against the Bruins two days earlier, Carey Price built off his stellar Game 1 performance, making 34 stops in a 3-1 Montreal win in Game 2. Price had an early lead to work with, as Mike Cammalleri opened the scoring 43 seconds into the game and Mathieu Darche deflected a shot past Tim Thomas just 1:37 later.
Without their captain Zdeno Chara, who was nursing an illness and unable to play, the Bruins fell behind 2-0 in the series, losing both games on home ice. The outcome didn't bode well for Boston, which coming into the postseason had lost all 26 playoff series in which it dropped the first two games. Patrice Bergeron cut Montreal's lead to 2-1 in the second, but Yannick Weber replied later in the period, sealing the victory for the Canadiens.

What can you do if the Order is violated?
Call the Family Court Domestic Violence Unit if the abuser's only violation is failure to return personal property, failure to pay support or rent, not complying with custody or visitation conditions or failing to attend domestic violence counseling. In those cases the Family Division will process your request to enforce the order.
If the abuser violates any of the other parts of the order CALL THE POLICE. For some violations (having contact with you or coming to the house, for example) or if the abuser violated the order by committing a crime (for example, stalking you, harassing you or trespassing), the local police must sign a criminal complaint for contempt.

On a Thursday night in July 2010, my wife and I decided to go to the movie theater to see Twilight. Since we arrived early, we decided to get some drinks at a restaurant near the theater. It took longer than expected, so we missed our movie and changed our plans. We wanted to continue to drink, so we drove to a bar close to our home. I didn't get hammered. I only had about four or five drinks.
Ironically, I didn't get pulled over while I was driving home from the bar. Instead, it happened a couple of hours later on my way home from picking up pizza. The police officer originally stopped me for speeding. When he asked me if I had anything to drink, I was honest with him. I really didn't think I drank enough to blow over the limit. But I did — just barely. The next thing I know, I was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence.
Although this happened almost two years ago, I'm still dealing with the consequences. It happened off base, so I didn't tell anyone. I paid more than $5,000 in attorney fees and kept stressing about what would happen if the Air Force found out. Well, a year-and-a-half later, they did.
In December 2011, my case was turned over to the Air Force. The civilian court thought this was a better alternative than to keep pushing my court date back. I was a staff sergeant, but not anymore.
In addition to being demoted and losing pay, I received an Article 15 and was placed on a control roster. The control roster prevented me from testing for staff sergeant, which could put me at risk for high-year tenure. My license got suspended on base for a year, which is a huge inconvenience. I had to take my son out of the child development center since I wasn't allowed to drive him there.
If I could go back and do things differently, I would have informed my chain of command from the get-go. Better yet, I would have skipped the drinks and gone to see the movie.
I really hope others can learn from my mistake instead of having to learn from their own. Please don't drink and drive — not even just one.

In this week's issue of Varsity magazine, Mike Lucas sits down with UW head coach Gary Andersen and coordinators Dave Aranda and Andy Ludwig for an in-depth at what to watch for during spring practice:
Wisconsin offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig has a favorite phrase to describe the standard growing pains for everyone involved. "A year ago at this time, you were drinking water through a fire hose," he said. "Now, you're going about your business and getting ready for a great spring."Read the full story here: Varsity: A Time for Change
The operative word is "settled." Andersen used it, so did Ludwig. "We're so much more settled," Ludwig said. "The coaches know each other. The coaches know the players. The players know the coaches and the system is intact. The system is not changing. There's no new terminology to learn."
It's fair to say everything has settled down on both sides of the ball. That's what UW defensive coordinator Dave Aranda was saying. "In the attitude, in the expectations and in the anticipation of what's coming -- in all of those things -- I just think we're ahead (this spring)," he said.

With a Tomahawk Update: Watching the little guys win was funPosted Thursday, April 7, 2011, at 9:33 PM
Watching the final game of the NCAA March Madness was not quite as fun as I had hoped, but I'm not going to complain about not getting that last chance to jump up and down.
After being so disappointed many times this year when I watched the IU games, following Butler and VCU to the Final Four was refreshing. I love it when the underdog wins, or when the little guy topples the big bad giant and both Butler and VCU were a thrill a minute.
It was a great run.
What to do with a stack of papers?
There's lots of lists of things one can do with a stack of newspapers -- they're good for lots of things besides news, but here's a new one for me ... did you read where they were trying to plug the leak of radioactive water at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan with shredded newspaper?
Well, shredded newspaper in a mixture with sawdust, concrete and some type of liquid glass. Now they say the leak has been stopped. For some reason I don't have much confidence in their claim. Feels like that story is far from over.
What are our
In the meantime, there's more news about war, or the more politically correct term I guess is "conflict."
Here's some interesting figures ... A Patriot missile costs around a million and it costs around $10,000 to keep an F-15 fighter jet in the air for one hour. The Air Force has been spending about $4 million a day keeping 50 fighter jets going in the "Libya Conflict" plus other support aircraft and the munitions etc.
As of late Tuesday, the Air Force had spent $75 million on this Libya thing. Other figures being reported put this in perspective -- the Air Force spent $50 million in Japan after the earthquake and $40 million of that was to evacuate U.S. personnel.
Let's see, what are our priorities again? The Associated Press is reporting that the U.S. had spent $550 million on the Libya Conflict as of March 28. Who knows how much it's up to now. And Congress can't agree on how to cut the budget.
Despite my disagreement with how the government spends the country's money sometimes, the news is a constant reminder of my good fortune to be living in southern Indiana instead of Japan or Libya or the Ivory Coast or a great number of other places.
Not long before I wrote these words to fill the column space on Thursday, I checked the national news online, then proofread a story that explained how one of our town councils was trying to solve the problem of parking around the courthouse square. Sure it's important on the local scene, but it all seemed a bit trivial considering the tragedies going on in other places.
It's not easy
letting go
On the courthouse news beat, I'm slowly letting go of my attachment to the way it used to be and accepting the fact that checking the records is just going to be different from now on and that's that. And I can see that once the transition is completed, adjustments have been made and everything is running smoothly -- it will be better.
Things seem to still be on track for a big debut sometime in May when the records will go live online and the public will be able to access the info over the internet.
Update and Correction: I stand corrected..... those are not Patriots that were being fired into Libya, they are Tomahawks! And I knew that but wrote Patriots. At 2 a.m., a U.S. Army Sgt from a Pacific timezone emailed to let me know I had the wrong missile. The Sgt is a Patriot Missile Fire Control Operator. Thanks for the catch! And thanks for your service too.

Visit CBS Detroit's
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing has finally made a move on his authority to impose benefit and wage cuts on AFSCME members. He's asking city council to authorize cuts on forestry, crossing guards and emergency service operators.
Bing's request to council prompted nearly a dozen union representatives to speak out at the council internal operations standing committee on Wednesday.
Council wants to find out first if the groups are included under the AFSCME master agreement before acting on the Mayor's request.

WOONSOCKET — A runner turning onto Mount St. Charles Avenue encounters a hill that only gets steeper, more challenging the farther the runner travels up it. It is only when the runner crests the top near Mount St. Charles Academy that the reward, a wide-ranging view of the land around the school, can be claimed.
A similar challenge faced the 196 members of the Class of 2012 graduating from Mount on Sunday when they began their studies at the private high school operated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart.

Oddly this article doesn't see fit to mention the attempted judicial review over this demo which took place at the High Court, the week before.
The police were perfectly clear, in court, that they feared zero violence from the demonstrators themselves. From whom then, was violence feared so significantly, as to demand a police operation costing two million pounds?
All to enable freedom of assembly for a demonstration, strictly limited to precisely one half hour. In the 21st century it seems, this is the state of freedom of protest, in the city that gave the world the concept.
It's particularly odd that Mayor Rahman doesn't mention these details, as he was if memory serves, in court when the police revealed them to the judge.

I am trying to make a Windows Explorer-like program in C++ without MFC.
It has a list view which shows the file system directories and files.
I want to add the drop target functionality for the list view,
so I implemented IDropTarget interface and registered the hwnd.
With IDropTargetHelper, I simply achieved the desired drag&drop effect in DragEnter, DragOver, DragLeave method.
But in Drop method, the dropTargetHelper was helpless.
My list view only accepts File drops.
Should I implement the dropped files' COPY, MOVE, LINK operation for myself?
OR is there a simple shell file operation helper which accepts dropped IDataObject?
I know how to get filenames from the dropped object, and just file copying is easy.
But I think maybe there are more things to consider: for example, making a file link, source item is virtual, and so on.
So I wonder if there are helper methods available from Windows shell.

Here is a picture of the SOMA mission in San Francisco, now closed.
The South Of Market (Street) mission was opened amid great fanfare by Jenna Elfman and friends.
From Celebrity magazine approx Dec 2001,
"Over 1,000 Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike gathered outside the front of the newest Scientology church, the Mission of SoMa, to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of Jenna Elfman's new mission in San Francisco ( SoMa is referring to the local region 'South of Market Street')
"In the front row were some of Jenna's closest Scientologist friends, including John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, Catherine Bell, Juliette Lewis, Jennifer Aspen, Lynsey Bartilson, Denice Duff, Michelle Stafford, Eduardo Palomo, Danny Masterson and Christopher Masterson."
and from scientologynews.blogspot,
"The Scientology Mission sponsored by Jenna Elfman in the SoMa (South of Market) district of San Francisco gained prominence in 2001 when Tom Cruise showed up to help cut the ribbon along with Church leader David Miscavige."

Blanchette Middle School Reviews
This school is in need of a makeover. It is filthy and the children are out of control. My daughter attends this school and she constantly complains about the numerous fights and disruptions in her class; and she is in the Lorraine Monroe Academy. There are 40 or 41 students in her class and I am sure it is difficult for the teachers to teach. What is going on?
My daughter is enrolled in this school because of the Lorraine Monore Academy and the benefits I was told would occur from her being in the academy. What a disappointment? Now I do feel the school has a few good teachers but I feel their teaching abilities are compromised with the overcrowed classes and the disruptive students.

text: The US DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) is a high throughput sequencing and genomic research center involved in a myriad of sequencing projects. JGI's major effort is the sequencing of genomes and transcriptomes of plants, microbes and environmental metagenomic samples of relevance to the DOE missions of carbon sequestration, bioremediation and energy production. Roche/454's platform utilizes emulsion PCR for template amplification and pyrosequencing technology on high well-density picotiter plate. Illumina/Solexa's platform uses bridge amplification on glass surface for template preparation and reverse terminator technology for sequencing. Both platforms provide high throughput and high quality sequencing production at low cost, however, the read length and error distribution differ between these two significantly. Based on the different characteristics of the sequencing data, we developed, implemented and optimized various applications to best utilize the sequencing data from these two platforms. In the presentation, I am going to give examples of some of these applications such as whole genome shotgun sequencing of microbial genomes, bacterial community 16S diversity study, transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq), and metatranscriptome sequencing,. This work was performed under the auspices of the US Department of Energy's Office of Science, Biological and Environmental Research Program, and by the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory under contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract No. DE-AC52 07NA27344, and Los Alamos National Laboratory under contract No. DE-AC02-06NA25396.

In some ways, UFO: AI is superior to paid Xcom titles. The interface is simpler (larger buttons, fewer screens, larger text, fewer options, key information such as item costs and build-times is presented up-front and clearly); the gameplay more intuitive. I also like that I didn't have to consult a manual to figure out how to play the game. Finally, this game is actually fun to play. While the music offerings are limited, they fit PERFECTLY with the gameplay. And after playing the game for over an hour, I had to tear myself away from my PC. Kudos to the developer for putting together a quality offering.
Downsides: Very basic graphics, aliens are clones of each other, graphical glitches (especially line of sight and clipping)
Plus: Music, weapon variety, true to the Xcom gameplay style, easy to pick-up, fun to play

The group met at the state Capitol on Wednesday. They said modifying the law to allow people over the age of 21 to ride helmetless is costing the state lives.
A recent study by a University of Michigan researcher says 26 fewer people would have died last year if all riders wore helmets.
Heather Drake of AAA Michigan said, "The data is clear. The experiment is over in Michigan. Helmets save lives."
Michigan's American Bikers Aiming Toward Education says helmets should be a rider's choice. They say tougher licensing, motorcycle safety programs and driver awareness is more effective at saving lives than helmets.

WOONSOCKET – The school department was once again looking for budget reductions on Thursday as the School Committee's budget subcommittee began a review of ways to solve a projected $1.6 million shortfall in the $59.8 million spending plan already sent to Mayor Leo T. Fontaine.
School Committee Chairman Marc A. Dubois said that "everything" possible to be cut in the proposed budget would be looked at in the new round of budget work.
"We are still exploring a six-period day instead of seven periods as one option," he said. The school schedule review follows the committee's vote to eliminate block scheduling at the high school in the coming year as a way to save staffing costs. The initial move to a seven-period day was expected to save the school department six to seven positions overall and a six-period schedule could allow for a further reduction in staff, he noted.
School Superintendent Robert J. Gerardi Jr. and Business Manager Stacey Busby were expected to review other possible reductions to the budget during the subcommittee's meeting, Dubois said. School Committee member Eleanor Nadeau serves with Dubois as committee members on the panel, and Gerardi, Busby and Steven Lima, a representative of local residents, are also participating in the discussions.
The subcommittee is expected to submit its budget recommendations to the full committee for possible action at a regular committee meeting in April.
Dubois said the high school will be studying ways to best implement the scheduling change as the subcommittee review continues.
The school may try a seven-period day and also a six-period day before the current school year ends in an attempt to gauge student and teacher reactions to the change, he said.
"We may have a little bit longer class period with a six-period schedule but students would have a lot fewer choices when it comes to electives that they want to take," he said.
The department's current budget problem is the result of the state's move to deduct the amount of federal education job funding local departments received in their current budgets from the amount of state aid they are to receive in the coming year.
Dubois noted Woonsocket received $2 million in edu job fundings and used that sum while balancing the budget. Since learning of the state's plan to reduce state aid by that amount, the school department has found $400,000 in savings to counter the revenue cut.
That leaves the $1.6 million still to be made up with additional reductions. The subcommittee can only offer proposals for savings to the full committee, Dubois noted. "It's going to have to be a joint effort to come up with some recommendations for savings," he said of the work ahead.

|Official Title:
|12-Month Stability of Diurnal IOP Control on Cosopt
- Diurnal Intraocular Pressure Control [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Change from baseline in mean diurnal IOP (measured every two hours from 8AM to 8PM) averaged across on-treatment study visits (week 1, months 1, 6, 12)
|Study Start Date:
|September 2006

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Cosopt
Cosopt twice daily in both eyes
Drug: Cosopt
Cosopt twice daily in both eyes
Other Name: Dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination
Detailed Description:
Glaucoma is a potentially-blinding but treatable eye disease. A major risk factor for glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). IOP is a dynamic variable (like blood pressure)—it changes over time. The more it changes, the more likely patients are to get worse. Glaucoma is treated by lowering IOP. Cosopt is a medication that lowers IOP. Little is known about how well Cosopt reduces IOP fluctuations. In this study, we plan to measure the IOP in both eyes of 10 glaucoma patients treated with Cosopt, every 2 hours from 8am to 8pm, on five separate days over a one-year period. Untreated baseline IOP will be measured on a similar long day before beginning treatment with Cosopt. This methodology will allow us to compare IOP fluctuations with and without Cosopt, and also to learn about long-term control of IOP fluctuations in eyes treated with Cosopt.

About the Book
Set before the advent of the Bronze Age, The Gift of Stones centers around a community of stoneworkers who live in a village near the sea. Wealthy and complacent, they survive by the trade of their unrivaled skills, secure in the supremacy of their craftsmenship. A small boy, outcast by misfortune, ventures from the confines of the enclave to explore the unknown. He returns with enchanting tales of ships and the seashore, of new vistas and horizons, that beguile and disturb the villagers. In spite of his words and intuitive wisodm, the stoneworkers remain oblivious to the winds of change beginning to blow in the outside world. Until, that is, the storyteller brings back to the village a strange and angry woman whose presence foretells the coming of metal, the end of stone, and the demise of their way of life.

The amazing musical ventriloquist Brian Tiernan and friends
Presented by Amazing Things Arts Center at Amazing Things Art Center
September 16, 2012
Brian has been touted as one of the best ventriloquists ever. His technique is flawless and audiences find it hard to believe that his characters are just dolls. Brian embodies the spirit of great ventriloquists of the past and combines that with a unique modern approach. He has worked as an actor on the daytime dramas All My Children, One Life to Live, The Guiding Light, and in the Broadway show Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story. He brings his acting skills to the performance of ventriloquism to create an unbelievable illusion.
Brian's comedy is topical, insightful, and just plain fun! His partner "Jerry" has an uncanny knack of being able to interact with audiences on any level. In addition to "Jerry" the rest of Brian's "cast" includes "Ernestine", a feisty, older, Southern lady who's not afraid to speak her mind, and "Shamus" a mischievous leprechaun from Ireland.

An Oklahoma district judge put off until Feb. 19 any decision about an anti-abortion law that would require doctors to submit information about women who have the procedure in the state. That information would then be publishedwith names omittedon the website of the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
The law includes more than 30 questions a woman seeking an abortion would have to answer, including details about whether she is having relationship problems or whether she can't afford a child. Some critics have said it is "like undressing a woman in public, exposing their most personal issues on the internet," quoted by ABC News.
"This law is a profound intrusion on women's privacy and a waste of taxpayers' money," said Jennifer Mondino, staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is challenging the law, quoted by National Public Radio (NPR).
"Women in Oklahoma should not have to jump through hoops to access legal medical care and the government has no business violating the state constitution to impose those obstacles," she added.
However, supporters of the proposed legislation, such as State Senator Todd Lamb, say it is not designed to embarrass anybody but to help make improvements to public policy in order to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
The law was to have taken effect Nov. 1, but the restraining order will block it until a lawsuit seeking to throw it out is resolved.

Region 1-AA Preview: Goals change in AA for Skyline competitors
- Pendleton
- Palmetto
- Chesnee
- Carolina
- Crescent
- Liberty
Last season the Palmetto-Pendleton rivalry cooled down considerably a week after the Bulldogs knocked off the Mustangs in the regular-season finale.
Sure, Pendleton coach Paul Sutherland was disappointed that the Region 1-AA title had to come down to a three-way tiebreaker, which Palmetto won on lowest points allowed. That didn't mean he wasn't rooting for the Mustangs in the postseason.
He and Palmetto coach Jody LeCroy could go on and on about how close their teams — along with Chesnee, the other third of the first-place tie — were to knocking off a couple of top 10 teams in last season's Class AA playoffs. Once again during non-region play this season, they'll pulling for each other, but that will change quickly on Sept. 30.
"You always have to have to pull for the teams in your region," Sutherland said. "The better the resume of those teams is, the better we're going to be. And, last year Pendleton, Palmetto and Chesnee showed they could play with anyone in the state."
The Bulldogs had Mid-Carolina, which was 9-1 at the time, on the ropes in the first round before collapsing late in the game while Chesnee and Palmetto played their way into the second round.
"Palmetto had a really good Columbia team beat and Columbia had Woodruff beat (in the Upper State semifinals). So you see what I'm saying," Sutherland said, adding that Chesnee was trailing Upper State champion Central by six points late in its second round loss.
This season expect more of the same with the trio battling it out one more time before Palmetto moves up to Class AAA. However, this time there will be more of a premium put on a region championship with the South Carolina High School League approving a proposal to separate AA into two divisions with every team qualifying for the playoffs this season.
"When they change it to everybody makes the playoffs you change your goals a little bit," LeCroy said. "That's not a goal anymore making the playoffs, but it's to win a region championship and probably have a home playoff game."
Pendleton last won an outright Skyline AA crown in 2005 before Abbeville reeled off three straight by way of a 24-game region winning streak.
Despite both the Bulldogs and Mustangs returning less than 10 seniors, they appear to be the favorites. Chesnee will need to find a way to replace wideout DaJohn Rowland, who was the most dynamic offensive player in the region last season.
"There is no question Pendleton has the most athletes," LeCroy said. "(Sutherland) gets those guys going the way he wants them to and they're all over the field. We know how tough it is to beat them."
Carolina, which will once again challenge for fourth place, may have something to say about that considering senior running back Shacorey Jeter could be the heir apparent to the title of the region's top offensive threat with Rowland and Mustangs running back Dominique Mosley gone.
Jeter, a the two-time defending Class AA 400-meter champion, will be the centerpiece of the Trojans' spread offense that averaged 23.3 points per game last season.
Even with two new coaches –– Crescent's Jeff Murdock and Liberty's Kyle Stewart –– Carolina will remain the only wrinkle in the region schedule with everyone else running some variation of the double wing.
"Crescent looks a lot like Palmetto and Palmetto looks a lot like Pendleton. One thing that tells you is you're doing what's right," Murdock said.

What `s inside his backpack?
This new section is dedicated to those who agree with that "in order to travel happy, you have to travel light" and above all , to those who wander around the world carrying huge suitcases or enormous backpacks that make the backbone crack when you sling them on your back. Of course you can't learn overnight to get rid of what is really superfluous, only experience will show you how to do it, like sparing a towel (I'll explain that to you later).
Those who have seen "Bagdad Café", will remember the surrealistic scene in which a german woman finds herself stuck in the Nevada desert carrying a huge suitcase that, on top of it all, contains all of her husbands clothes, who has just dumped her. Something like that must have thought those who saw me a few years ago in Jamaica, when I was climbing the Blue Mountains with a wheeled suitcase that obviously wasn't properly working in the rough and steep paths of those mountains. That was a non-scheduled trip and my luggage wasnt the most suitable, so that day I learnt once and for all to travel light.
Sometimes I see an expression of surprise on the faces of the people that come to collect me at an airport or bus station, because they think that the backpack I carry is only my hand luggage. Not at all. My backpack has been reduced with time, and now it weighs 14 Kg. at the most and it has a volume of 50 Liter. Aside from that, I carry a small day pack and a quilted bag for the photografhy stuff, that unfortunately increase the total weight up to 18 Kg.
When you intend to travel for a long time and through different kinds of wheather, I reccomend to dress onion style: in layers. You don't need the thick wool raincoats and pull-overs anymore unless you plan to go to the Antarctica or the Himalaya. The special clothing for trekking is the best choice, since it combines lightness and thermal protection, it dries very fast and it is transpirable and waterproof. Of course, its not the most suitable to go to a party. You have to give special consideration to the footwear, since it can completely ruin your trip; you have to try and wear it for a while before setting out, and it has to be very comfortable and adapted to the the terrain you intend to walk.
Im going to tell a little secret to those who travel with underwear for 4 weeks: there are some magical shops called Laundries, where you bring your dirty and stinky clothes and in an hour you get them clean, dry and smelling good, all that for only some coins. My liking for lightness doesnt carry me to the point of doing the same as Nicolas Crane, an (excentrical) englishman who walked his way from Santiago de Compostela to Istambul with only 3 socks that he was conveniently rotating, each day washing one of them , so that the maximum time he would wear one same sock was 2 days, a rather hygienic method compared to what one can see around these days.
My equippment contains:
- 1 pair of hiking boots
- 1 pair of leather sandals suitable for walking (with clasps)
- 1 pair of sneakers
- 1 short pants
- 1 long pants
- 1 transformable pants long / short
- 2 pairs of hiking socks, one thick, another fine
- 1 long-sleeved thermal undershirt, transformable (by rolling the sleeves up)
- 1 cotton undershirt
- 1 jumper or polo shirt
- 1 transformable long-sleeved shirt (by rolling the sleeves up)
- 1 polar shirt
- 1 polar waistcoat (bodywarmer)
- 1 raincoat of gore-tex
- 1 cap or hat
- 1 pair of gloves of gore-tex
- tweezers, string, scissors, glue, needle, thread
- firs-aid kit
- toilet kit
- swimming towel, the type you can dry it, wring out and doesnt smell
- 1 pareo to use it as a towel on the beach
- 1 pair of sunglasses
- 1 water bottle
- 1 book, to give away when finished or exchange it.
- 1 money belt or waistbag for carrying the passport, checks, airflight ticket and travel notebook.
- 1 sleeping bag
- 1 bag-type silk sheet
- 1 telescopic walking stick
My photografic set is made of:
- Digital camera Sony with 5 CDs recordable.
- Reflex camera Olympus with a single 28-200 lens.
- Plenty of color / b w film and slides, kept in the plastic boxes for slides.
- Binoculars Olympus
- MP3 Digital recorder Olympus.
Ive always said that I will consider myself a real traveller the day I can get rid of the weght of my photography equipment, and, most of all, of the worries of it being stolen, and travel only with my sight, but presently, I am incapable of recording only in my mind all those unforgettable places and pictures that I want to share with you all.
See you soon!
