Dec. 9, 2003 - the day Gov. Ernie Fletcher was sworn into office - the state's personnel roster listed 35,808 full-time employees on the payroll.
As of Monday, there were 247 fewer names on that list. According to Sue Britton, general counsel for the state Personnel Cabinet, the most recent tally for full-time state employees is 35,561.
Fletcher has said he doesn't plan to use mass lay-offs or furloughs as a way of easing state budget problems, choosing to operate on the theory money can be saved through attrition.
He has said there are plenty of dollars to be save by simply not filling the nearly 1,000 positions left vacant every year when people retire or move to jobs outside state government.
Fletcher also implemented a hiring freeze for all state jobs as one of his first acts in office. The freeze can be circumvented if agencies can justify to the Personnel Cabinet why a particular position should be filled.

Relations between management and sectors of staff at dairy product company Parmalat in the Cape have soured.
Since last week, 315 staffers have been on strike demanding better wages and work facilities. The striking workers were employed by a labour broker, Workforce, for Parmalat.
Striking workers say they cannot survive and support families on a weekly income of R450 and say that they have never been paid bonuses.
One of the strikers, who asked not to be identified, told The New Age that there were numerous demands but that the immediate ones they needed addressing were issues around salaries and year-end bonuses
"We cannot support our families on this income. Our current salary is R10.95 an hour and between 2009 and 2012 we have received a R1-an-hour wage increase."
Since last Tuesday the workers have been protesting outside the Parmalat factory in Bonnievale, a small industrial town next to Swellendam in the Cape.
The protest has seen strikers burn tyres and display placards outside the plant.
In addition to salaries and bonuses, the workers are demanding sick leave, annual leave, a provident fund, transport and protective clothing for the workplace. "We feel that Workforce was called by Parmalat to further enslave the community of Bonnievale.
"We are tired of keeping quiet while Parmalat walks all over us," according to a statement issued by workers.
Gawie Jacobs, the site manager for Workforce, said he could not speak to The New Age because it was "company policy" that all queries first get legal scrutiny.
Senior manager at Parmalat, Hansie Wolfaardt was unavailable for comment when contacted by The New Age.
The strikers said they intended intensifying the strike in the coming week.
An unnamed striker also said workers were forced to go on strike because they worked long hours and were not adequately compensated.
He said he preferred anonymity because, when the strike ends, he could be victimised.
He said: "We are trapped in a vicious cycle here. Because we earn only R1800 a month, when we hit difficult times the banks refuse to grant us loans. All we are left to do is then go to the loan sharks.
"These loan sharks lend us money at 50c a rand. It means if we borrow R100 we have to pay back R150."
He said workers were protesting "out of desperation".

Petitioning Greenhill Board of Directors and 4 others
Greenhill Stop killing adoptable animals & Comply with Public Contracts!
Greenhill "Humane" in Eugene, OR has put to death many animals with treatable issues, even though they claim that they don't. Animals are not "red alert" networked, and in fact rescue and adoption options are blatantly ignored by shelter management. We want Greenhill to stop the killing of adoptable and treatable animals, abide by the public contract stipulations, and we want a No Kill Director, new Director of Shelter Medicine and a trained behaviorist put in place. Enough is enough!
For documentation regarding Greenhill's wrongdoing please visit www.NoKillLaneCounty.org
Find us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/NoKillLaneCounty
Please note: We are in no way discouraging adoptions or volunteering.
Letter to
Greenhill Board of Directors
Greenhill Board President
Commissioner Jay Bozievich
and 2 others
We here signed, by looking at the evidence, have decided that we can no longer support Greenhill Humane Society until there are major changes. This unnecessary killing of adoptable and treatable animals has got to stop. Until Greenhill hires a No Kill director, new medical director and a trained Behaviorist, our donation dollars will go elsewhere.

Ashes 2013: Ian Bell hits century before England falter at Lord's
Second Test, Lord's (day one):
England 289-7 v Australia
Steve Smith took three late wickets to swing the momentum towards Australia despite a third consecutive Ashes hundred from England batsman Ian Bell on the opening day of the second Test.
Leg-spinner Smith, who did not bowl in Australia's 14-run defeat at Trent Bridge last week, removed Bell, Jonny Bairstow and Matt Prior as England slipped from 271-4 to 289-7 by the close at Lord's.
England, who won the toss, had fallen to 28-3 in the first hour of play but were hauled out of trouble by Bell's superb 109 and half centuries from Jonathan Trott and Bairstow.
"As a captain, Michael Clarke is never afraid to trust his instincts and try something different.
"A lot of captains would have deemed Smith to have done his job when he removed Bell, and would have greeted the new batsman with the new ball. But Clarke's intuition told him to stick with the spinner and his decision bore spectacular results.
"It is the sort of proactive captaincy you expect to see in Test cricket and it put his team in a strong position."
Smith's dramatic late intervention, however, ensured Australia will be the more satisfied of the teams as they look to level the five-match series.
England's predicament could have been worse had Bairstow not enjoyed a significant stroke of luck midway through the afternoon session.
The Yorkshire batsman was bowled by Peter Siddle for 21 but reprieved when television replays revealed a no-ball by the narrowest of margins.
He went on to score a further 46 in a fifth-wicket partnership of 144 with Bell that looked to have put England in control.
Other than a run-out chance, Bell had not offered a chance as he followed up his crucial innings in Nottingham with another century at a time of need for his team.
At Trent Bridge, a sluggish pitch forced the Warwickshire man to play late and score a large proportion of his runs behind square on the off side, but on a quicker Lord's track he was on the front foot much more often, driving through the covers and punishing anything too full as he passed 1,000 Test runs at the home of cricket.
The arrival of Smith looked unlikely to trouble Bell as he lashed a full toss through mid-on for his 16th four. The next ball, however, gripped and turned before taking the edge of Bell's bat on the way through to Michael Clarke at slip.
Three and easy
Ian Bell is only the fourth Englishman to score centuries in three consecutive Ashes Tests - at Sydney in 2011, at Trent Bridge last week and this innings at Lord's.
Jack Hobbs achieved the feat twice - in 1911-12 and 1924-25 - while Wally Hammond did so in 1928-29 and Chris Broad in 1986-87.
Sensing an opportunity, Clarke delayed taking the second new ball to give Smith another over, and the decision paid off in style as Bairstow drove a low full toss back to the bowler.
Prior was deceived by a ball that skidded through a bit quicker, edging an attempted cut to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin.
Tim Bresnan, picked ahead of Steven Finn, was seven not out at the close, with James Anderson - a nightwatchman for Stuart Broad - on four.
The rapid fall of three wickets mirrored the start of the day when England, following a presentation of both teams to Her Majesty the Queen, lost Alastair Cook, Joe Root and Kevin Pietersen in the space of 11 balls.
Cook, who chose to bat first on a scorching day, was drawn across his stumps and trapped lbw by a Shane Watson inswinger, justifying Clarke's decision to throw the ball to the all-rounder for the fifth over of the day.
In the next over, Root was lbw to the recalled Ryan Harris, and failed with a review when replays suggested the ball struck his pad marginally before bat.
Four balls later, Kevin Pietersen got a thin edge to a ball that shaped away from him and England were listing badly on 28-3.
The Ashes
1st Test: England won by 14 runs, Trent Bridge
2nd Test: 18-22 July, Lord's
3rd Test: 1-5 August, Old Trafford
4th Test: 9-13 August Chester-le-Street
5th Test: 21-25 August, The Oval
With Harris on a high and the new ball moving around in the air, a repeat of the frenetic opening day at Trent Bridge - when 14 wickets fell - looked on the cards, but Trott and Bell saw off the threat to take England through to lunch.
As the Australia bowling became more ragged after the interval, England plundered eight fours in seven overs.
Trott was particularly fluent, bringing up his fifty in 77 balls, only for his commitment to attack to prove his undoing.
A delivery from Harris sat up on leg stump and asked to be hit but Trott flicked off his hips and placed a simple catch in the hands of Usman Khawaja at deep square leg.
England needed a partnership and were granted their wish by Bell and Bairstow, who scored his fourth Test half century, three of which have come at Lord's.
With Bell scoring heavily off a struggling James Pattinson, they took England to within sight of the close of play, only for Clarke's gamble in throwing the ball to Smith to deliver a telling twist.

Back to back ashes centuries ? Keen to know who has done it before BBC ?That would be good sport reporting .........
Comment number 629. Posted by DrCajetanCoelhoon 20 Jul 2013 08:13
Bell has scored an important century.
Could be a very decisive knock for the home side.
Congrats to the centurion of back to backs 100s.

Great to see Bell , put the unlearned cricket critics in their place.
Where are the barmy army?
And their songs and chants?
Is it illegal now in England to be overtly English?
Very odd?
Comment number 627. Posted by MrFishyFingerson 19 Jul 2013 19:41
626 - my bat, my ball, now I'm off home with 'em!
613 - I wasn't writing the post for your benefit, I never felt a need to explain it for you. It was targeted at someone else who was writing off the Ashes as a sporting event. I did tell you to re-read, didn't I?! Didn't that set the alarm bells off? You don't seriously think I meant us English have the Ashes locked behind a window, do you? ;-)
Comment number 626. Posted by BOBon 19 Jul 2013 19:37
you all have fun arguing about your ashes, ENJOY
Comment number 625. Posted by MrFishyFingerson 19 Jul 2013 19:28
623 - your post was directed at mine, no.599, but I never talked about SA, India and the Ashes in that context, so you've dragged my post into your argument when it doesn't actually have anything to do with it in the way that you are trying to use it. Re-read 599 (mine), re-read 620 (yours), then the penny might drop.
Like I said, read people's posts properly before you comment on them!
Comment number 624. Posted by hanover_manon 19 Jul 2013 19:19
Please beware of the poster known as G_K__. He cannot bear to see England win at anything, be it cricket, football or tiddlywinks. Now that England are in the ascendancy in The Ashes, he is indulging in generalizations about the quality of the competition. Its a favourite smoke and mirrors tactic of his.
Comment number 623. Posted by BOBon 19 Jul 2013 19:18
why don't you read ALL posts below. try #611 its a bigger discussion than u think
yes you are right but that Indian team was different from the current Indian team and was in poor form. fyi we didn't just beat this same aussie but we completely demolished them in every department of the game. the same Australia team is now facing England and England hasn't done the same demolition.
Comment number 622. Posted by MrFishyFingerson 19 Jul 2013 19:05
620 - nope, can you read?
That statement was in the context of global interest in a test series between SA & Ind and an Ashes series between Eng & Aus, wasn't making a judgement on the relative strengths of the teams, SA are rightly top of the pile there, just the amount of attention the 2 series would attract globally.
Do you read the posts you comment on? ;-)
Comment number 621. Posted by Avalonon 19 Jul 2013 18:57
@620, Didnt india just get beaten in thier own conditions by England, despite conditions being made to measure for India with 2 very spin friendly tracks.
As for the top 2 the rankings can change on a heart beat, all it needs is a bad series, and india could find themselves in 4th after the SA tour later in the year.

Saintsbury Unfiltered Chardonnay 2010
Chardonnay from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
This Chardonnay 2010 has aromas of pear, fig, fuji apple and orange blossom. It has a great, rich entry, vibrant acidity, and a long tangy finish.
Saintsbury Carneros Chardonnay has been bottled without filtration since 1993 when, after experimentation, the winery concluded that unfiltered Chardonnay delivers a more vibrant fruit character and a richer mouthfeel.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "There's a bit of oak here, but not too much, giving a smoky, buttered toast richness to the orange, lime and pineapple fruit. It's a rich, flashy Chardonnay, with crisp acidity and a clean, spicy finish."
Saintsbury Winery
Saintsbury specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is fermented and aged in barrels coopered in Burgundy. Three styles of Pinot Noir are produced: "Garnet" is a fresh, lively wine full of cherry and raspberry fruit; the wine simply called Carneros Pinot Noir is a more classic rendition; and the Reserve Pinot Noir is the richest and most fully flavored of the vintage. View all Saintsbury Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Light-cone superstring field theory (LCSFT) and matrix string theory
(MST) are closely related. Both theories at the tree level are the Green-Schwarz superstring theory in the light-cone gauge. At the interaction level, the twist fields and the spin fields in MST correspond to the string interaction vertices in LCSFT. Since the CFT fields in MST are characterized by their OPEs, we would like to realize the OPEs by the interaction vertices in LCSFT to see the correspondence. In this talk I will begin with reviews of both theories and proceed to the correspondence between them.

First Reading: 2 Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.
2 In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the kings house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
3 And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
9 But Urias slept before the gate of the kings house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.
10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.
12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.
17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?
Psalm: Psalms 132:11, 12, 13-14, 17-18
11 The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep thy covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them: Their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.
13 For the Lord hath chosen Sion: he hath chosen it for his dwelling.
14 This is my rest for ever and ever: here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
17 There will I bring forth a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
18 His enemies I will clothe with confusion: but upon him will my sanctification flourish.
Gospel: Matthew 6:19-23
19 Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through and steal.
20 But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.
21 For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
22 The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.
23 But if thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!

Press Release
Netmining Extends Audience Targeting Capabilities to Video Ads
Reckitt Benckiser first video advertiser to use video targeting on the network
Company expanding quickly, reports 50% growth in customer base over past six months and 95% customer retention
New York, NY – September 22, 2010—Netmining, a leading provider of audience targeting solutions, today announced it has extended its targeting capabilities to include video. Reckitt Benckiser is the first advertiser to utilize Netmining's audience targeting capabilities for video—the global CPG company worked directly with Netmining to develop and refine the solution.
"As video becomes more integrated into the online environment, we've pushed boundaries to connect with consumers using a more interactive medium and leveraged it throughout our advertising strategy," said Shawn Gasparini, Manager of Digital Marketing for Reckitt Benckiser North America. "Online video is particularly effective for our CPG brands as it allows us to not only engage with our audience through unique creative, but do so in conjunction with our offline buys. Netmining has helped us identify innovative ways to use video and targeting capabilities by intimately understanding what's needed from a brand perspective."
Netmining's audience targeting solutions increase conversions and revenue generated from display, email and a marketer's website. The company's real-time profiling engine understands individuals' interests and buying propensity, and enables brands to deliver highly relevant and personalized interactions across the entire customer lifecycle. By leveraging Netmining's scoring and audience profiling capabilities in video placements, brands can further tie traditional marketing efforts to online initiatives, reaching consumers with increasingly interactive creative through video.
"We've seen an escalating demand for better audience targeting within video as it becomes a more important part of the marketing mix," said Dean Vegliante, General Manager at Netmining. "With the addition of video to our audience and retargeting solutions, marketers can now take advantage of Netmining's proprietary engine and deep insights to maximize their video advertising efforts. Since the introduction of Netmining to the U.S. market almost a year ago, we've seen significant customer growth and unparalleled retention rates, fueled by the performance of our solutions as well as our continual commitment to innovation."
The new capabilities come on the heels of impressive company growth, as Netmining has seen a 50 percent increase in its customer base over the last six months, with a 95 percent customer retention rate. In addition to Reckitt Benckiser, other Netmining advertisers include Audi, Lord & Taylor, Jones Apparel Group, Borders, Red Roof Inn and some of the world's largest digital advertising agencies such as Mindshare, OMD and Zenith Optimedia.

Tradition schmadition
I'm all in favour of screwing with tradition for the hell of it. It makes the world a more interesting and diverse place. So I was amused when I saw that La Trappe, not content with the usual dubbel and tripel styles of Trappist beer, also make a "Quadruple". For all the iconoclasm of the name, however, it's a fairly normal strong, dark Trappist ale, weighing in at a fairly hefty 10.9%. It remains drinkable despite this and is chock-full of varied fruit flavours. Nice for a change from the Belgian norm.

– By Sarah Wade –
Whether bona fide or faux, fur is undoubtedly experiencing a renaissance, with accessories being a must this season. Ear muffs and the traditional hand muff should top of every girl's winter wish list, yet many may leave them off, as they're possibly two of the trickiest seasonal pieces to get just right.
You might think hand muffs faded out in the early 1900's, but some of the world's most exquisite brands are incorporating them as essential parts of their winter collections. Fashion a-listers like Sarah Jessica Parker and Rihanna have embraced them too,and of course, Princess Diana, who famously teamed her hand muff with a sleek equestrian style coat.
Now we're not saying that these appealing items should be always paired together, often they can speak for themselves in varying ensembles. However, if done right, and in matching fur, a complementary duo could take you from heedless to haute in one fell swoop.
Ear Muffs
From J Mendel to London's Caroline Charles, international autumn/winter ready-to-wear shows have been awash with super-cute ear muffs. As the mercury drops, consider making like Miuccia and go for a full-head alternative, complete with chin-strap, as seen at Prada. Even designer du jour Alexander Wang provided an update, using fur on the arms of sunglasses – these covetable items are currently the talk of exclusive ski resorts in Aspen and Courchevel.
Hair & Make-up
As an item of headwear, hair and make-up must be considered when rocking overtly furry ear muffs. Being a statement accessory, ear muffs demand simplicity in the hair stakes. Loose waves or tumbling curls work well, as do sleek straight locks with or without bangs. If your muffs accompany a little action on the slopes a high ponytail can look great, with tendrils left around the face to soften.
Subtle make-up in wintery hues will add to this appealing theme's tone. Pinched cheeks and lips should be added to pale but neutral eyes with a splash of mascara and perhaps a flick of liner. Minimalism is key, creating a natural glowing look as if one's taken a brisk walk in the cold.
Team Them With
Be careful not to over complicate – further volume around the neck or shoulders will not work with ear muffs. For a high-end, fashion-forward look, accompanying lines should be sleek and smooth. A versatile product for the city, ear muffs will mix effortlessly with everything from your best wool coat (a coat with oversized lapels will really make an impact!), to your edgiest leather biker jacket. Add a fine cashmere or even jersey scarf to keep the cold out but retain those smooth lines.
Hand Muffs

Criticism as hours reduced at Penzance's Richmond House resource centre
Posted: November 19, 2013|
A CLIENT with mental health problems has criticised a Penzance self-help resource centre which has changed the way it operates.
Richmond House, in Tolver Road, offers group activities to promote independence, raise confidence and self-esteem for those with mental health issues.
But the number of hours that clients can attend the centre are being cut – some people can only use the centre seven hours a week – and they say that is having an adverse effect on their health and wellbeing.
Lisa Farrar, who has been using the facility for ten years, said: "Richmond House is a fantastic place to go if you have mental health issues.
"It's a real sanctuary, the staff are passionate about providing a good service and the socialising and interaction you get there is so important.
"But the hours I can go there have been reduced and it is making me feel poorly and more isolated. There are plenty of other people in the same situation and all that is going to happen is that more people will get ill or be roaming the streets causing trouble.
"I've seen good and bad changes in the treatment of people with mental health problems and I know how they affect people. I want to get these changes reversed – I'm not going to lie down and take this."
However, Colin Quick, associate director of Community Mental Health Services, says day services now offer twice as much activity and that efforts have been made to move away from ad-hoc drop-in facilities and offer more structured activities.
"The structured activities have been designed to help people to regain skills, while accessing practical advice to help them overcome their current problems," he said.
"An important part of the work the day services do is to help people to access activities and opportunities in their local community."

A study by Queen's University Belfast has found that the dispensing of psychotropic drugs to older people in Northern Ireland increases on entry to care homes.
According to the study, due to be published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, antipsychotic drug dispensing in older people more than doubled from 8.2 per cent before entry to care homes to 18.6 per cent after entering care.
The study was carried out by researchers from Queen's Centre for Public Health in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences. It analysed prescribing data for over 250,000 people, aged 65 years and over living in Northern Ireland from 2008 to 2010, and looked at drug uptake within the older population during the transition from community to care.
The study revealed that psychotropic drug use was higher in care homes than the community, with 20.3 per cent of those in care homes dispensed an antipsychotic in January 2009, compared with 1.1 per cent of those in the community.
Lead researcher on the Queen's study, Aideen Maguire, who is based in the Centre of Excellence for Public Health Northern Ireland said: "Although drug dispensing is high in older people in the community, we have found that it increases dramatically on entry to care. This study showed that the high uptake of psychotropic drugs observed in care homes in Northern Ireland cannot be explained by a continuation of drug use initiated in the community prior to entering care.
"With an ageing population globally it is important that we look at the reasons behind this type of increase following admission to care. Antipsychotic uptake in Northern Ireland is similar to that in the rest of the UK and Ireland, and this study highlights the need for routine medicines reviews especially during the transition into care."
Other key findings of the study included:

There are three basic kinds of light waves that come from the sun, which are infrared light waves, ultraviolet or UV waves and visible light waves. Each of these waves has comparatively short wavelength that will easily pass through most kinds of glass as well as polycarbonate sheets. Once the waves are inside, they are absorbed by the ground and plants, where they are turned into heat or thermal energy. Since this kind of energy has a relatively longer wavelength, it cannot go through the greenhouse panels thereby trapping it inside the structure. This is called the Greenhouse Effect, which is also the process that retains heat in our planet and makes your car interior hot during sunny days.
With the transformation of light wave comes another process that is referred to as convection. This process aids in maintaining heat inside your greenhouse. As the air that is closest to the plants and ground is heated up by radiating thermal energy, it rises naturally as it is lighter than cold air. In the atmosphere, this warm air will get cool again once it eventually reaches a certain height. In a greenhouse, however, warm air is prevented from reaching a height where it can be cooled down again. Thus, it maintains the heat and for each cycle, it gets a bit warmer.
The most common greenhouse kits and materials that are used in the production of greenhouse panels are polycarbonate and glass. Each kind of material has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you are not sure what type of panel to use, here is a rundown of each:
- Greenhouse glass panels could be an attractive option but it is less efficient in retaining heat and more expensive. Glass is also known to admit direct light, which is more intense. This results to hot spots that can burn plants. Greenhouses that are made of glass are typically semi-permanent constructions which are initially more expensive to build but can last longer over time. They also tend to be more durable against weather and aging.
- Polycarbonate greenhouse panels on the other hand are lighter and much stronger. This is a great bonus for greenhouse owners since this kind of panels is less expensive than glass. Polycarbonate beats glass when it comes to strength and it is safer as well, as the material will not break easily from the effects of weather conditions such as hail, snow and wind. If your greenhouse is located in your back garden and you have children running around, polycarbonate panels would be more ideal.
Ultimately, the choice could really depend on how long you will keep your greenhouse and the budget that you have. For best results, look for greenhouse panels that will diffuse light. This will prevent your plants from being burned and allow them to grow healthier and more vigorously.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008ABERDEEN, S.D. -- The Toyota Prius slowly drifted across the lane and directly into the path of the oncoming semitrailer truck hauling 90,000 pounds of grain, and Matt Hammer, five cars back, kept waiting for it to jerk back to the right side of the road. Brett Newton, in a car directly behind the veering vehicle, shouted aloud to the driver who could not hear him: "Coach! Coach!"
An explosion, a cloud of metal, and the two driver's-side doors rocketed skyward. The collision of two vehicles moving in opposite directions at more than 50 mph looked like something you see on television, a witness said later.
Hammer pulled off the road and started running toward the Prius, past other cars that had gone into a ditch to avoid the wreckage. He could see that the driver's side was destroyed, crumpled like a soda can. "And on the way there," Hammer remembered later, "I was getting myself ready. I didn't know if I was going to see one of the most influential people in my life dead."
The driver in the wreck on the long, straight South Dakota road on Sept. 5, 2008, was Don Meyer, 64 years old. Husband to Carmen Meyer for 41 years. Father of three, grandfather to eight.
Mentor to hundreds.

With less than two hours to go in the first day of the St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament, on Friday, Joseph Greene of Waddington was experiencing a frustrating day.
He lost two nice-sized carp while fishing with his Reel Spinners teammates at Lighthouse Point in Ogdensburg.
But things got better in lightning like fashion.
At 6:30 p.m. he landed a 27 4 oz carp and then beat the 8 p.m. deadline to land the Big Fish of Day at 28 pound 12 oz.
The two boisterous fish gave the young anglers 55 lbs, 14 oz and third place in a close race for the tournament's Grand Champion Award which goes the angler landing the most weight in their best four fish over the two days of the tournament.
Green's weight led a strong showing by the Reel Spinners team which also featured 42 pounds from Matt Greene who landed a 25-pounder , 41 pounds with a 26-pounder by Austin Delosh and 27 lbs pounds from Matt Delosh.
First day honors went to Noah Blair who landed three carp weighing 59 pounds from his peg at Brandy Brook in Waddington. Quinn Ames stood second after landing four carp weighing 56 pounds from a Route 131 peg in Massena.
Also in the thick of the race as the anglers change pegs for today's concluding action is defending Grand Champion and two-time winner Mike Cummings who landed two carp weighing 49 pounds, 5 oz from Little Sucker Brook in Waddington. Cummings teammate from the Uppstrom's Bait and Tackle Team, Tanner Uppstrom, took in three carp weighing 45 pounds from Little Sucker Brook.
Fishing at a Route 131, Massena peg Abby Warner landed three carp weighing 45 pounds, 15 oz.
The tournament anglers combined to catch 53 carp weighing 908 pounds in the first day of the tournament.
Today's action will run from 7 p.m. to 4 p.m. followed by an awards ceremony at 7 p.m. at Madrid-Waddington Central School.

Prevention editor-in-chief Liz Vaccariello says, "We know that all cancers caused by cigarettes can be prevented and that a host of others - caused by obesity, inactivity, nutrition, infectious agents and the sun's rays - can be avoided or successfully treated when detected early. The poll begins to tap into discrepancies between what people think they are doing to protect their health and what they are actually doing, and areas where overall knowledge could be improved."
Dr. Irvin Vidrine says the findings underscore how difficult it is to change personal behaviors, particularly for women whose family and career responsibilities may leave little time to tend to personal health matters. "Our findings should serve as a wake-up call to women. As the divide between knowing and doing becomes clear, women can be more vigilant in taking their cancer prevention behaviors to a higher level of compliance."

Ready to roll. That's the mode the Laguna Beach High football team is in this week.
After weeks of surviving two-a-days and working their way through preseason camp, the Breakers finally kick off their season Friday. They'll travel to Garden Grove to challenge the Bolsa Grande Matadors at 7 p.m.
"I think we've come a long way this summer," Laguna Coach Corey Brown said. "I think we're a really young team in terms of playing experience along the offensive and defensive lines, but we have some guys on those lines who had success last year on frosh/soph and who are back with us after not playing last year.
"I really feel we are finally getting to where we want to be. There's still plenty of room for improvement and to grow, but I think going into Week 1 the foundation is there for building success. We're healthy and pretty much dialed in for our season opener."
A week before their opener, the Breakers scrimmaged at Laguna Hills Aug. 29.
The Breakers previously had gone up against the Hawks during a 7-on-7 passing game earlier in the summer.
"That was a good benchmark for us," Brown said of last week's scrimmage. "Going up against Laguna Hills, which has several playmakers and is a good team, always gives us a good look as to where we are. By the end of the scrimmage, I was happy with what we did. We executed well and played hard. The effort was great and we had a ton of energy."
Friday also marks the season opener for Bolsa Grande. Last year, the Matadors turned in a 3-7 season in Matt Brinkerhoff's first year as head coach. They return six starters on offense, including veteran quarterback Anthony Porras, who threw for 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns last year as a junior.
"They are improving," Brown said of Bolsa Grande.
"This is their second year under their coach (Brinkerhoff), and he's doing a good job trying to build his product.
"It's going to take our best effort to go out and beat Bolsa. Honestly, we don't know what we have until we step onto that field and line up against them. I'm confident, though, in our preparation. I think this game will be the start of something pretty neat for our guys."
Laguna has opened the past two seasons against Bolsa Grande and is 2-0 in those games.
2014 Schedule
Friday: at Bolsa Grande
Sept. 12: University
Sept. 19: at Westminster
Sept. 26: St. Margaret's

Occupy now, identify later?
Comparisons between the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street are not justified…
"What do these people want? Hurry and find out so we can get rid of them!"
This or some manifestation of this sentence has been formulated many times in the past several weeks. Occupy Wall Street is having its desired effect. Up to 70 cities within the US and 900 cities worldwide have taken the lead from their counter-parts downtown in Zuccotti Park.
The tides are changing, and it's difficult to ascertain what the next step will be.
The Arab Spring is the catalyst. Change was achieved. Two courageous souls in Tunisia and Egypt respectively, within the space of 45 days changed the world. However, I, they, the world, knew what they sought. Civil resistance bringing change, from a regime of brutal dictatorship, corruption, and poverty.
However, although patently obvious for the most part, there has been some debate as to what the OWS movement hopes to achieve. The media are culpable, as was the case with the Arab Spring, where they were often condescending, with accusations the movement is lacking direction and is the brainchild of a generation of ungrateful and lazy weirdos.
Yes, there are a wide array of complaints, demands, and goals from the Wall Street protesters: the collapsing environment, labour standards, housing policy, government corruption, World Bank lending practices, unemployment, increasing wealth disparity and so on. Different people have been affected by different aspects of the same system — and they believe they are symptoms of the same core problem.
However, are they ready to confront the reality and how to address it?
OWS began on September 17th, but the message has somewhat disintegrated into a rich versus poor battle.
There are undoubtedly hundreds of thousands across the world who are steadfast on their initial message, but a degree of unrest is filtering through, with examples being the trouble in the Rome and Oakland protests. People have lost all confidence in the system, and in the US with their president, who when confronted with the option chose to settle with, rather than investigate and prosecute, the investment banking industry for housing fraud. It begs the question how influential the 1% is in the US government.
As Obama attempted to grasp the situation, he proposed the 'Buffett tax'. The result was a crushing defeat by the Republicans, so I believe it to be naïve to think of sweeping change, as Washington already possesses that memo. Early in the movement, a document was released by the protesters outlining their grievances, which was welcome to some. However, with no definitive direction for the movement after over 40 days, it seems destined to lose steam.
Some have argued that a focus ought to be delayed for as long as possible. This will allow the movement to grow even further and thus will prompt a greater and faster reaction from the powers to be to provide a resolution. Well, there are flaws to this. Firstly, the movement is already growing at a rapid rate. As I'm writing protests are continuing around the world. However, what are these new numbers being attracted to?
The Arab Spring is considered the catalyst for these protests; though, if that is the belief, I do worry about the movement.
The Arab Spring was a force to combat oppression of basic rights of citizens by dictators, a concept repeatedly played out through history. The OWS movement is primarily about redistribution of wealth and the lack of jobs available at this moment, which they believe to be the responsibility of Wall Street. It would be prudent to remember that a job is not an inalienable right. Comparisons between the two are largely unfounded. The Arab Spring had a direction to begin with.
To achieve its own direction, that sense of entitlement from Occupy Wall Street needs to disappear.

HTTP Error 415 Unsupported media type
The Web server (running the Web site) thinks that the HTTP data stream sent by the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) identifies a URL resource whose actual media type 1) does not agree with the media type specified on the request or 2) is incompatible with the current data for the resource or 3) is incompatible with the HTTP method specified on the request.
Detecting exactly what is causing this problem can be difficult, because there a number of possible reasons. Often the request involves transfer of data from the client to the Web server (e.g. a file upload via the PUT method), in which case you need to confirm with your ISP which media types are acceptable for upload.
Fixing 415 errors - general
This error seldom occurs in most Web traffic, particularly when the client system is a Web browser.
If your client system is not a Web browser, the problem can only be resolved by examining what the client is trying to do then discussing with your ISP why the Web server rejects the media type specified by the client system.
Fixing 415 errors - CheckUpDown
Our service monitors your site for HTTP errors like 415. This error should simply never occur on your CheckUpDown account. If it does, it typically indicates defective programming of our systems or of the Web server which manages the site. The content of the HTTP data stream we send is plain text, and the HTTP data stream we expect back is a simple byte stream. Both data streams make no reference to any specific medium.
Please contact us (email preferred) whenever you encounter 415 errors - there is nothing you can do to sort them out. We then have to liaise with your ISP and the vendor of the Web server software to agree the exact reason for the error.
415 errors in the HTTP cycle
Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:(1) Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '415'.

Every child car seat in Europe has an orange ECE R44 approval label. The orange label guarantees that the car seat complies with the basic safety requirements as set out in the European safety standard ECE R44.
It's a good starting point when looking for a child car seat. However, how much protection is offered and how easy a child car seat is to use, can vary significantly between orange labeled seats, so make sure you try and test a seat before you buy! It may be useful to consult the latest European safety test which is conducted on a yearly basis to come to the best choice of seat for your child and you.
Since the introduction of the European child car safety standard ECE R44 in 1982, child car seats are tested on an annual basis. The requirements are upgraded every year to reflect the changing needs in child safety. With test standards becoming stricter every year, it is more difficult for car seats to get the best test ratings. All Maxi-Cosi car seats proudly meet and exceed the European test standard for child restraints ECE R44 /04. Warning: from April 2008, all child car seats that were manufactured before 1995 and approved to the ECE R44/01 and 44/02 standard are no longer legal and must not be used or sold. Only seats displaying the European Standard orange label, indicating approval to the Standard to ECE R44/03 and ECE R 44/04 may be legally used.
To determine if a child car seat fits your car, there are 3 types of car seat approvals: universal, semi-universal and vehicle specific. Universal approval isn't vehicle specific and the seat is approved and is suitable for installation in all cars. An approval label will indicate one of these categories. Universal approval The seat is approved for use in all vehicles that meet ECE R14 and R16 regulations. Any Isofix car seat must use the Isofix anchorage points including the top tether or foot support. In all Isofix cases this solution must be used and the vehicle's handbook must state that the car is suitable for "Universal Isofix child seats". Semi-universal approval Semi-universal approval is when, in addition to the standard requirements, other safety devices for attaching a seat are used and require additional testing. For example: some vehicles provide additional storage space within or beneath the floor area that can influence the behavior of a child seat foot support, therefore you need to check the child seat manufacturer's car fitting list. if your car type and model is listed as suitable for use. Vehicle specific approval The child seat is tested in an additional car-specific dynamic crash test and approved only for these cars. The car must be listed in the child seat manufacturer's car fitting list. This may include special features or designs that can only be installed in a car of a specific type.
The Australian and New Zealand Standard label, also known as the 'five ticks' approval, indicates reliability, quality assurance and safety as the product's most valuable attributes. National child restraint laws were introduced in Australia on 1 July 2010:
• Children up to 6 months old must use an approved rearward-facing infant restraint and must not travel in the front seat of a vehicle that has two or more rows of seats. When fitting a rearward-facing car seat in a vehicle with only one row of seats it must have child seat fitting points available and any airbag in that position must be switched off. • Children from 6 months to 4 years of age must travel in a fearward-facing or forward-facing child safety seat. • Children from 4 to 7 years old must use a forward-facing car seat with inbuilt harness or a seat that is fastened with the regular adult car seat belt. • From 7 years and older, children must use a child (booster) seat and be restrained with an adult car seat belt or child safety harness or when tall enough, a correctly fitted adult seat belt.
For more information, download the official brochure on Australian child restraint law.
When originally introduced in 1971, the FMVSS 213 safety standard did not include dynamic testing of child car seats. It simply specified that a seat belt should hold the child in place in the car. It did not include rearfacing car seats either. In 1981, the FMVSS 213 was amended to include dynamic tests of all car seats for children under 50 pounds, establishing the basic elements of the standard used in the US today. It included rearfacing restraints, car beds, 30 mph crash tests and buckle release force (so a child cannot release the harness) en special labelling and instruction criteria. Child car restraints are generally compulsory in the United States and Canada. Check for an overview of the current child Car seat laws in the US and Canada.

Ice melt is a terribly useful invention, but the drawback is that many conventional formulas contain a high degree of chemicals that, during a thaw, can run-off into nearby water sources or become absorbed by the groundwater.
So what, if any, eco-friendly options do you have? It turns out, several. The Hipster Housewife did some research and found several green ice melt options, although in all honesty, the best choice is to go without.
If you're in need of ways to make your property less treacherous, try these solutions:
*Kitty litter
Each of these products is effective because it provides traction on top of the ice, which can help with walking and driving.
The Hipster Housewife also mentions Earth Friendly Products Ice Melt, which is safe for pets and vegetation and packaged in recyclable containers.

Salinas police: Gang member threatens probation officer
Tracy Coon, 18, ended up booked into Monterey County Jail on Wednesday morning as his juvenile court hearing concluded, Salinas police said, after Coon threatened physical harm to his probation officer who had attended the proceedings.
Police said Coon is a known gang member who also made gang-related statements as he was escorted from the courtroom about 10 a.m.
Witnesses included other probation officers and inmates in custody, police said.
Coon was booked into county jail on charges of making criminal threats to an officer and gang enhancements.
Central Park call leads police to loaded firearm
Officers investigating vandalism in Central Park discovered a loaded firearm, according to the Salinas Police Department.
The officers were investigating another call in the park at 4:22 p.m. Wednesday when they noticed the fresh graffiti and several people nearby.
When they attempted to contact the people, they moved off in different directions but were eventually detained.
Officers noticed one person attempt to discard an object at the base of a tree and found a loaded firearm dropped by suspect, Raul Fernandez, 18.
Fernandez was arrested and the investigation revealed the group did not appear to be responsible but they had gang affiliation in Soledad.
Fernandez was taken to Monterey County Jail and booked on suspicion of possession of a firearm and gang enhancements.
The others were released.
No contest plea in alcohol-for-porn case in Monterey
A man accused of selling and exchanging alcohol and pornographic images with two 14-year-olds from Santa Catalina School in Monterey pleaded no contest Thursday to exhibiting harmful material to a minor, possession and control of child pornography and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Juan Pablo Mata faces a maximum of 3 years, 8 months in jail with the possibility of felony probation when he is sentenced in May.
Mata was arrested in mid January.
He was employed by a food service company that had a contract with Santa Catalina, a Roman Catholic girls high school.
Prosecutors said the crimes occurred between November and January.
"I would expect him to be placed on probation for a number of years, I would expect that he would be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and I would expect jail time," said prosecutor Todd Hornik.

SCU President Blesses the Soon-to-Be Home of the San Francisco 49ers
Friday, Apr. 20, 2012
Santa Clara University President Michael Engh, S.J., gave the invocation on the occasion of the April 19, 2012, groundbreaking for the future Santa Clara, Calif., stadium for the San Francisco 49ers football team. The text of Fr. Engh's comments are below, while a video of his invocation is available here.
"For this blessing, let us turn our thoughts for a moment to the 49ers, who, in a special way can be viewed as "coming home to Santa Clara." 49er roots go deep here in this Valley.
The founder of the 49ers, Tony Morabito played freshman football at Santa Clara University in 1927, graduated in 1931 and founded the team in 1946.
Al Ruffo, another Santa Clara alumnus, worked as assistant coach and became co-owner of the team - and a University Trustee.
Buck Shaw, SCU football coach, was recruited from SCU to be the 49ers' first head coach, 1946-1954.
Later came Bill McPherson, class of 1954, who worked as assistant coach, 1979-1998, with 5 SuperBowl victories in his time.
SCU/ 49er all-pros: Alyn Beals ('49) and Brent Jones ('92).
Yes, 49ers, welcome back to Santa Clara. Welcome home!
Let us bow our heads and pray.
God our Creator, Source of Life,
We ask your blessing upon all assembled here who share in the joy of this long-awaited day.
We praise you for all who worked over the past 13 years to bring us to this groundbreaking ceremony.
We remember the York and DeBartolo family, particularly Ed DeBartolo, Senior, and his wife Marie, for whom the team's training center is named. Bless the present generations of this family who continue the legacy. Watch over them and guard them.
Bless those many leaders of the City of Santa Clara who worked and planned to make this new facility possible.
Keep watch and guard over the players, the coaches, and staff. Preserve the players from injury; inspire the coaches; and bless the office staff and all employees. And yes, Lord, we would be grateful for another Super Bowl victory.
Watch over the 1,800 construction workers who will labor on this site to build this great, sustainable, and green stadium. Keep them free from harm in all their many tasks and stir up in them a worthy pride in the work they perform.
We thank you, Lord, we rejoice, and we bless your holy name, now and forever.
Let us all say Amen!"
