20 apartments for rent near Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA
Apartments in Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA
Beautiful, historic Echo Park is located in northwest Los Angeles, California. Founded in the 1880s as "Edendale," Echo Park's steep hills and historical architecture has made it a favorite location for artists, writers, and filmmakers for decades. Before Hollywood, there was Echo Park — the film industry began here, and Echo Park has been captured in various silent movies. Keystone Studios, built in 1912, still stands on Glendale Boulevard.
With so many famous people calling Echo Park home over the years, one resident stands out — Room 8. A stray cat that took up residence in Elysian Heights Elementary School, Room 8 lived at the school for 15 years, from when he showed up in 1952 until his death in 1968. A Cat Called Room 8, a children's book, was written in 1966 by Virginia Finley. Room 8′s paw prints and messages from the kids who loved him are still present in the sidewalk in front of the school, and a mural of Room 8 is on the side of the school.

Sorry I meant 75
Ok, I've done most of the scenario, it's the event texts that bothering me, I don't know why the event's won't work, so I was wondering if someone could help me
Just the negotiation between all civs needs to be barred, I keep trying it and it won't work.
Sorry I meant 75
I have no idea why there is an error message when you start the scen but the following works perfectly if you don't want any negotiation whatsoever:
The above is courtesy of Cyrion's scen POMARJ where it stops all attempts at negotiation.
Your scen looks interesting. Good map and units. I hope that you will be adding events for the Tet offensive and other major events. Looking forward to it.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
Thank you!!
I spent ages on it, then was demoralised by the shitty events txt, but now it works. Thanks alot man
Updated version
Are you sure that you are using the correct RULES file?
The other sections look fine but there are no entries for the various civs in your scen in the section of RULES that deals with civs and leaders.
As the various .sav and .scn files have the right civ info, somewhere there must be a correct RULES file.
EDIT: Cross post.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :
Money can buy happiness, just raise the luxury rate to 50%.
Money is not the root of all evil, it is the root of great empires.
have you got the proper rules file I could use?
Sorry but no , that is beyond my skills. All I know is that your civs must appear in the RULES file.
How did you get the civ/leader info into the .scn file? The game editor?
Maybe one of the many knowledgeable designers who frequent this forum can give you a hand.
Excerpts from the Manual of the Civilization Fanatic :

I do remember the errors occuring you know when you're designing the game and sometimes the units come up as wonders etc, so I changed the rules manually, I knew I deleted something by accident, however I thought I fixed it. No wonder the events were foulin' up.
Anyway, does anyone have any better names for the Units in my scen? They were pretty bog standard since I don't have much of an imagination :P Any suggestions welcome
I downloaded your scenario to try and help you out a little. I understand this is an early version, but some info beforehand would be nice. I have no idea which civ this is designed for, but I started as the US.
Current lackings with suggestions for improvment
-In a scenario such as the Vietnam war I reckon extensive use of events would be the best way to represent the war. Right now there are zero events handling the game play. Only one event disalowing negotiation. Again, from what you wrote I understand this is an early version, and that you had some problems with the Events. But you should at least represent the most famous offenses. I also suggest a lot of killed units, then create units events. If not the war against the NFL will be over pretty quickly. I didn't play more then to turn 2, but I would imagine as they can't replace units as quick as they build them.
-It would also be nice if you could fill up all the unit slots, and try to avoid familiar troubled slots, such as the Knight and the Musketeer. If you don't know what to use them on, there are many other nationalities you could include: New Zealand, Thailand, Philipenes. I see you alrady have Australians and South Koreans.
-I think the phantoms should have a longer range. I didn't realise it was a range 1 aircraft right away and lost it due to fuel. With double the movement I could do some actual damage, and still be able to return to base.
-To simulate the extensive use of helicopter as a mean of troop transport throughout the jungle, maybe all american units could get the paratroop flag, making them able to jump a couple of squares?
-You must do something about the wonders, as the AI starts building Pyramids etc on turn 2. You can build all these wonders yourself as well.
Game play observations
-On the first turn the Vietcong carried out a lot of suicide attacks, from Cambodia. I easily repelled these attacks with the hueys, effectively neutralising the turn 1 offensive.
-What do you intend to use the Cartagnians for? Maybe a US Air Force Civ to handle the Rolling Thunder? Right now this seems pretty abstracted. Although most air strikes came out of US bases in Thailand I would suggest to have it either in Laos somewere or at a fictional island in the South Chinese Sea, so the units would actually attack North Vietnam, and not the NLF forces in S. Vietnam. As it is now, the B-52 can hardly reach South North vietnam, even from the northern most US airbase, as it only has a movement of 15. The least you could do is do raise it's movement to around 25-30.
-What would I need to take out the Camoflage traps? They are pretty damn hard to kill.
Alternative sollutions suggestions
-Instead of building units yourself, why not use real life order of battles? And then use events to reinforce with units as they came in real life?
-Shouldn't I as USA have a carrier fleet or something to bomb North Vietnam with for Operation Rolling Thunder?
-It would also be neat to have some special ops soldiers behind enemy lines in the north.
Possible bugs:
-There's an american settler floating midseas at 49,37.
-There's a N.Vietnamese B-52 at 20,2.
-The Americans and the Cambodians have the same shield colour (dark blue).
Ok, these are only some initial obsercations. Hope this has been of any help! This scenario has great potential and I urge everyone to download and try it out!

Can anyone help me in relation to the rules being fixed so I can do events?
I'm a little unclear on what you want fixed. AFAIK, leader information is stored in the SAV or SCN file. It can be put there by using the cheat menu, which I suspect is the method that you used. Once it's there, I don't think it matters what's in the Rules.txt.
I don't know whether the lines consisting of "." in Events.txt are a problem. They're not needed, though.
Just let us know specifically what problem you want to solve, and be patient if you need to repeat yourself for those of us who don't always read threads thoroughly.
The "." was my evidently hard to understand attempt to represent any other events that might be in the file.I don't know whether the lines consisting of "." in Events.txt are a problem. They're not needed, though.

As gay marriage was about to become legal in New York last month, Texas Gov. Rick Perry channeled his inner libertarian and offered this comment: "You know what? That's New York, and that's their business, and that's fine with me," Mr. Perry said. "If you believe in the 10th Amendment, stay out of their business if you live in some other state or particularly if you're the federal government."
The remarks came at a meeting of GOP donors and governors in Aspen, Colo., on July 23, a day before the first same-sex marriages were performed in New York. A week later, as it became increasingly clear Mr. Perry would run for president, he told the Associated Press he would support a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. "Yes, sir, I would. I am for the federal marriage amendment," he told the AP. "And that's about as sharp a point as I could put on it." On Friday, Mr. Perry, who has long opposed gay marriage, completed the 180-degree turn: He signed the National Organization of Marriage's anti-gay-marriage pledge… Read More »

|DVD New
This is a DVD with a decent plot that doesn�t get in the way of some hot sex. Larry (Brad Patton) and Ron (Jason Kingsley) have found their �perfect� 3-year relationship is getting stale, so they visit a couples counselor, well played by veteran director and former professional actor Joe Gage, in a non-sexual role. First they relate how they met in a sex club, then their separate adventures. Then they meet their new neighbors, who introduce them to the joys of versatility. In the final scene, Larry and Ron realize they can save their relationship by giving up their cherries to each other.
Scene 1
Larry returns home to find Ron fucking someone else in their bedroom. So it�s off to see counselor Gage, who asks them how they met. They proceed to give different versions of how it was love at first sight for both of them, when their eyes met across a crowded sex club.
According to Larry, the action in the sex club started off with two threesomes engaged in oral pleasure: in the foreground are handsome, lightly bearded Chad Thomas, toned Danny Lopez and cute blonde newcomer Andy North. In the background are skinny Jason Crew, dark-haired newcomer Andy Briggs, and veteran Marcus Iron. Crew and Iron are energetic deep-throaters. Eventually, Thomas wanders over to join the other group and Crew does the same, leading to constantly shifting groupings of the six performers. Meanwhile Larry and Ron watch everything: horny, but ambivalent about being there, as they would each prefer to be at home curled up in the arms of a lover. After about 15 minutes during which everyone has sucked or rimmed almost everyone else, North, Briggs and Iron jerk themselves to climax and then leave.
In Ron�s version of events, the sex had progressed to anal by the time he arrived. The remaining threesome consists of Crew, Thomas and Lopez. The cocky and energetic Crew dominates the scene, first pounding the vocal Lopez, and then quickly pushing him aside so he can plough Thomas. Then, just as quickly, Crew dismounts and offers his ass to Thomas. Crew cums, then the others cum on him.
Throughout this scene, various voyeurs in the sex club look on but don�t seem to get very excited by what�s happening around them, which tends to dampen the sexual tension. At the end, Ron and Larry kiss, go home and have the best sex of their lives.
Scene 2
After some time, the sex between Ron and Larry has cooled and they decide to try a threesome, but can�t find a third guy they can agree on. While out shopping together, Larry wanders off with pale, bland, Marc Sterling and they have sex on a construction site. Larry refuses to kiss his pick-up, and the sex remains impersonal and somewhat cool throughout.
Sterling sucks Patton�s mammoth endowment as best he can, then Patton half-heartedly sucks and rims Sterling before fucking him in three positions. Sterling grimaces a lot (which is understandable given what his ass has to accommodate) until Patton fucks him to climax, then Patton jerks off on him.
Scene 3
Larry isn�t the only one cheating. Ron also wanders off with Brad Benton, who has no muscle tone but is vocal, tactile and a strong performer. They have sex in a garage, and there is lots of kissing, smiling and sexy talk before and during the oral and anal action. Kingsley fucks Benton in three positions on the car, until Benton cums while being fucked, and then jerks Kingsley off. The fucking in each position is short and never quite takes off into the stratosphere, but the scene has much of the chemistry that the previous one lacked.
Scene 4
Ron is getting close to ending the relationship when new neighbor Mike invites them both over. The rather uptight couple is shocked to discover that Mike (strawberry blond Pete Ross) lives in a permanent three-some with Chick (toned Justin Gemini) and Dirk (boyish Timmy Thomas). All five end up on the king-size bed where the three-some (who love an audience) proceed to have sex with each other while Larry and Ron watch and masturbate. Again, the boys are ambivalent: they politely decline to join in the sex, but stick around until the end and don�t seem to mind it when the three guys have sex literally on top of them. Although their non-participation is important for the plot, they look stunned for most of the scene, which reduces the excitement level.
The sex starts with some good oral action by Ross and Gemini, but Thomas is a weak sucker and can�t service more than the tip of Ross� pierced dick. The anal action whizzes by in a series of short scenes, with all three performers fucking and getting fucked in about five minutes. The scene ends with everyone jerking off over Ross until he cums.
Scene 5
After three months of therapy, the counselor finally uncovers the real issue in the couple�s relationship: both think that real men don�t get fucked. So the counselor has the two start making love on his office desk, then encourages them to try fingering each other, and gives them each a glass butt plug to wear as they walk home.
Back home on the balcony, the butt plugs come out and Kingsley (who has bottomed regularly on film) easily mounts Patton�s monster meat. Then Kingsley goes inside and lies on the floor so Patton can mount him. This is not Patton�s on-screen deflowering (which occurred in �Heaven to Hell�) but he takes it very slowly. They then proceed to take turns fucking and getting fucked in two other positions. The fucking increases in pace and intensity throughout the scene and when Patton says �That feels so good� you can believe him. Finally, in the ultimate sign of submission, Patton lies on the floor and spreads his legs so that Kingsley can fuck him missionary. Kingsley jerks him off to a vocal and explosive orgasm, after which Patton can only say �Wow� � viewers will agree, and this scene should be given to all porn directors as an example of how to end a fucking scene. Patton then fucks Kingsley briefly until he cums. The film ends with a return visit to the counselor.
The DVD
The production values are high, with good audio and video quality. There are only five chapter selections. The bonus features include: (i) a slide show of the actors and various scenes; (ii) a behind-the-scenes segment, including some funny outtakes; and (iii) previews for other Buckshot films: �LeatherBound� and �Buckleroos� Parts I and II. If you want, you can also watch the entire film again, with interesting commentary from the director, producer and Brad Patton.
In a plot-based porn film, the danger is that a complicated plot will get in the way of the sex, or the acting will be so woeful that you wonder why they bothered with a plot at all. The director, Jerry Douglas, avoids both traps by keeping the plot short and simple, and confining the acting mostly to the three leads, who do a decent job of it.
The film well illustrates its two themes: �real� men can get fucked, and being versatile can be a lot of fun. Of the 10 performers who engage in anal sex, every one gets fucked and 7 of them also top. That alone makes the film a rarity in a sea of routine porn films where performers are rigidly classified as either Tops or Bottoms.
It is a shame that, having broken the mould in that way, the film is otherwise unadventurous. The two leads have great bodies but most of the rest of the cast are average. Only one performer (Jason Kingsley) has much chest hair and only one looks vaguely ethnic or exotic (Danny Lopez). Brad Patton�s dick and body are undoubtedly impressive, but I disliked his unnatural tan and his lack of body hair (including shaved armpits). We get only the regulation one cum shot per performer per scene.
Still, much of the sex is hot (if not scorching) and if you love watching men who can take it just as well as they give it, this is definitely the film for you.

Andrea Reynolds, left, president and CEO of The Community Foundation of Dutchess County, goes over some documents with board Chairwoman Sue Hartshorn in their City of Poughkeepsie office. The grant-making nonprofit organization has been around for 40 years.
As the economy tumbled and funding for nonprofits dried up, The Community Foundation of Dutchess County was there to help.
This year's winner of the Dutchess County Economic Development Corp. Business Excellence Award in the nonprofit achievement category helped fund a Hudson River Housing counselor who provided foreclosure preventive guidance to homebuyers.
Of the NeighborWorks program graduates, no one went into foreclosure, said Andrea Reynolds, president and CEO of the foundation.
Located in the City of Poughkeepsie, the grant-making organization turned 40 this year.
It began in 1969 as The Area Fund to finance the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in the City of Poughkeepsie and has become a permanent collection of endowed funds contributed from many donors.
The foundation has helped revitalize other landmarks, such as Poughkeepsie's Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center's theater and main building.
"We were in the real estate business but decided to back off and become a full-fledged foundation," Reynolds said.
From July 2008 to June of this year, the agency awarded more than $1.4 million to community organizations in the arts, education, community development, conservation, health and human services.
Since its inception, it has doled out more than $13 million.
The foundation helps donors with charitable giving and establishes endowment funds for nonprofits and other charitable causes.
With those funds, the group provides grants and resources to community organizations and works with government, private foundations, other funders and local leaders to address current and emerging needs.
Sometimes the foundation acts as the nonprofit organization for charitable projects, such as the Poughkeepsie Garden Club's Gateway Beautification Project on the arterial near the Mid-Hudson Bridge.
Poughkeepsie-based certified public accountant and business owner Deborah Bailey Browne created a legacy fund with the foundation that will allow her nieces and nephews to decide which local nonprofits will get the money after she dies.
"The youth of today has to understand about tomorrow," said Bailey Browne, a business excellence awards judge.
"I hope my nieces and nephews - my distribution committee - learns about community involvement, and I think that's what the Community Foundation does."
Steven Tinkelman of Tinkelman Architecture in Poughkeepsie nominated the foundation for the economic development award for "making our region an even better place to live," he wrote in the application.
Tinkelman is immediate past chairman of the foundation's board of trustees.
For example, when the recession hit, the foundation's foreclosure education grant was one way it assisted the community.
To help other nonprofits struggling to stay viable with limited financial resources, the foundation presented workshops and seminars on strategic planning and collaboration that attracted hundreds of leaders from the public sector.
Through the Ulster County Community Foundation, which launched in 2007, the foundation is expanding its reach.
"We were able to provide a new source of funds for Ulster County nonprofits sooner than we thought we were going to," Reynolds said.
It created a new pool of grant funds available to Ulster County nonprofits, with 12 receiving funding so far.
"We raise it, we give it out. ... We want to be the first place people call when they have a charitable idea," Reynolds said.

No raises! No possibility of promotion! No retirement! Lower pay than people with the same degree and experience!
With a sales pitch like that, how are people not breaking down the doors to apply for state employment?
Another budget comes out, and again, state employees get the shaft.
How hard are people going to work with no (statutorily required) raises? How hard will they work with no possibility of promotion?
Answer: Just hard enough to not get fired.
How hard will people work when they can be laid off, even if they work hard enough to not get fired?
Answer: Even less.
I used to get to work early and stay late every day. I used to give 110%. My last annual evaluation reflected it. That day, I received "exceeds expectations" on all but maybe 4 categories. When I walked out of the evaluation, I went home (because it was the end of the day). The next day was a furlough day. Heck of a reward...
My next annual eval is this week or next week. I suspect it won't be as good as the last one, but it's still pretty good. Not that it matters.
Glad we can renovate Rupp Arena, though. I was about to lose sleep over that.

Rag, the Erotics, Murderers Row, Blasé Debris
March 29
the deserts of Southern California come Throw Rag, a hysterical,
surly, half-naked explosion of sockabilly guitars, grinding
bass and scary, Jim Jones Kool-Aid seriousness. I had the
pleasure of seeing these guys for the first time opening for
the Supersuckers during my bachelor party at North Six in
Brooklyn a few years ago. As it was then so it is now: They
hit Albany on a day off from their tour with Queens of the
Stone Age without apology, dry-humping the stage in Dorcus
polyester leisure wear and white shoes (every last one of
them), and slowly stripping themselves into an oily mass of
tattoo ink and impetuousness. Singer Sean Doe, the bastard
spawn of Crispin Glover and Popeye, has this thing going on
that is part yoga, part Elvis karate and part free-range chicken.
His eyes look right at you and they dont see anything. He
slaps his bandmates like a silverback gorilla as he caterwauls
on about UFOs, compulsion and misanthropy. But there is a
loving casualness in the way he deep-throats the microphone
that makes you either want to puke or thank the heavens that
it all comes down to this in the end, really.
All well and good, but the guy who takes this satchel of tyrannical
punk rock right over the top is Craig Jacko Jackman, the
disheveled washboard player (yes, the washboard player) who
scraped away at his instrument like a trichotillomaniac on
the short bus to Ravena. And I love Ravena. His powerful man-boobs,
oft tweaked by the Fuze Boxs Eileen Trash and others in that
Tuesday night hustle, shimmered brilliantly in the sheen of
spittle wrought forth from his foul hole. At one point, the
band carved out a pocket for him to testify, causing him to
leap off the stage and pin my lawyers girlfriend to the far
block wall using only his ass cheeks (by now the pants were
halfway to his knees, with only a soiled banana hammock guarding

must give me a dollar! Poor lass. She tried to make with
words but was pressed even harder to the wall by his glistening
buttocks. I will go away, but first, the dollar! The dollar!
he demanded. Receiving no sympathy from the band (who hammered
on, oblivious) or the flummoxed mammals in the crowd, she
placed a $10 bill, formerly appropriated for a round of drinks,
into his hand and hurried away, not so much horrified as slightly
The man then turned his attention to yours truly, demanding
that I retrieve the booty from said undies (and I would, in
time) but was thankfully restrained by the length of the mic
cord. He could only tickle my beard with his grimy fingernails.
Man alive. We were in the company of champions. Some wear
it better than others, and the Rag can back it up with excellent

broken families and unprotected sex, the latter perhaps being
the primary reason why they all scratch themselves incessantly.

Warming up for their UK/Italy tour in May, they were in fine

has served in Madball, Machine Head and the infamous 80s

Debris faced the dubious task of playing after the headliner

And as a happy footnote, I am pleased to report that I havent
lost my thieving abilities, and was elated to use it for a
purpose that will hopefully mean reduced karmic repercussion.
As the now-sedated Jacko gathered up his washboard, bugle
and cowbells after the Rags set, I miraculously spied the
crumpled 10-spot now dangling from his fetid polyester trousers.
I approached him, palmed his shoulder in one hand while shaking
his right hand with the other, bumping him clumsily as I snatched
the moolah. When he walked away, I returned the cash to its
rightful owner. I probably should have washed it first. Sorry

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Oracle Primavera → New Primavera → Thread
Hello to all,
I am trying to find out why a certain dialog box appears right after I login to P6.
So, the P6 "Login to Primavera P6" dialog box comes up on starting the program. I plug in my password, and the the login dialog box title changes to "Connecting to database…", then "Validating user…", then this is when I get a "Primavera P6" dialog box with the following text and an "OK" button:
"The database has not been configured to run background jobs. To correct this problem, please contact your System Administrator or see the Administrator's Guide:"
Can someone 1) explain what this means, and 2) how it can be resolved?
Thanks in advance for your help!
this is not a serious error and it it is due to a missing DLL file in C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder.
To resolve the issue see the attached solution
The Dr. House of Scheduling
Thanks, Zoltan.
I will give this a try and report back.
no need to report back I know that it works I have done it
The Dr. House of Scheduling
Actually, my IT guy doesn't believe this will help. This is what he said:
Two problems. 1 There isn't a Primavera service running. 2 The files are already there.
We installed P6 v7 from scratch (meaning, we did not have a previous version that existed). We installed the standalone client on a terminal server so that I can access the software from any computer where I have internet access. Does this impact your thoughts as to what is happening? And, to what the resolution should be?
Thanks again.
my configuration is the same. Maybe the file is corrupt.
did you try the fix ?
I am sure it will work
The Dr. House of Scheduling
if that did not work try this
If the background jobs are not running or to simply troubleshoot any potential issues with background jobs, the following query examples can be used:
For execution of any script below, the following is recommended:
Log into the instance using SQLPlus with the schema owner (which should have DBA role assigned):
For example: ADMUSER
◦For standalone users of P6 v7 using Oracle XE, the schema owner is ADMPRM$PM
To log into SQL Plus:
•Browse to Start, Run and type CMD (to open a command prompt)
•At the command prompt, type: SQLPLUS /@ ◦where is the schema owner for the instance
◦where is the password for the schema owner
◦where is the name of the Oracle Instance
■For example: admprm$pm/password@XE
•This should log into SQLPlus and be placed at a SQL> prompt to run SQL statements

ASHLAND - Despite a handful of city resignations lately, Ashland mayor pro tem Gene Rhorer said the former mayor's resignation does not come as a surprise.
Rhorer officially announced former mayor Michael P. Jackson's resignation at Tuesday night's city council meeting in Ashland.
He said the resignation did not surprise him, he had known Jackson would be taking a retirement package.
KOMU 8 News spoke with the city clerk before the meeting. She told us Rhorer had said to not talk before the meeting.
Other city employees sitting in on the meeting also said they were not allowed to comment.
This is the fifth city leader to resign in two months.
Jackson told KOMU 8 News he was leaving to move out of state, not because of city problems.

As our region prepares for its first big winter storm, the United States Postal Service reminds residents to clear ice and snow from sidewalks, stairs and mailboxes.
"Snow and ice make delivery dangerous and slow," said Stevens Point Postmaster Trent Graham. "Maintaining a clear path to the mailbox - including steps, porches, walkways and street approach - will help letter carriers maintain consistent delivery service and help them get those cards and packages delivered in time for the holidays."
Customers who receive curbside delivery should remove snow piles left by snow plows to keep access to their mailboxes clear for letter carriers.
Delivery service may be delayed or curtailed whenever streets or walkways present hazardous conditions for letter carriers or when snow is plowed against mailboxes.
Residents and businesses with blue collection boxes near their property are asked to keep them clear of snow and ice.

Police are warning visitors of a neighborhood park to be vigilant after a flasher was spotted.
The man was spotted early Tuesday morning at TC Jester Park near 43rd St. and TC Jester Boulevard, according to police.
A caller reported seeing a naked man under a tree near the running trail, wearing a black head covering.
"It's a safe area so I've never seen anything. You tend to be a little lax. It's a good area, we live here," said Jennifer Scott, mother of two.
Some neighbors say they saw a man exposing himself to joggers in November.
Park goer, Cheryl Tariq, said "People don't want their children seeing this. Who knows, the guy could be dangerous."
According to police, the man spotted in November covered his face with a shirt or another article of clothing while showing the lower half of his body.
"There's no telling what's on his mind, what his agenda could be," Tariq said.
Although there is nothing to indicate a connection to Tuesday's case, park visitors have promised to be extra vigilant.

Q. Last week you gave some packing suggestions for a weekend in the city, but I have a few beach weekends planned for the summer. Can you give me some ideas on what to pack for a weekend at the shore?
A. Of course! There's nothing I love more than spending a long relaxing weekend at the beach. My packing tips are pretty simple: I pack a few day-to-night dresses and tunics that go straight from beach to town to a sunset clambake. Add a couple of swimsuits, beach-to-street sandals, a hat, sunglasses, tote bag, sunscreen, and a lightweight scarf or jacket in case the nights are cool, and you're ready to go! Here's what's typically in my weekend bag (click on each item for purchasing info):

The Obama administration is working in secret on a trade agreement that would give corporations many of the powers now reserved for governments. Why?
At issue is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is being negotiated by the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and Japan. The only reason we know anything about the substance of the negotiations is because Wikileaks released some of the documents. The United States wants the treaty to allow corporations to challenge other nations' environmental and labor laws, a power now reserved for governments. Also, it appears that the U.S., Australia and Japan want to prevent other nations from subsidizing pharmaceutical prices.
The U.S. is pressing for stronger intellectual property protections than most of the other nations want. Also, the U.S. seems to be much less concerned with privacy issues than its partners. There are sharp differences on financial regulation, climate change and labor rights. The U.S. is the only nation that insists on retaining agricultural export subsidies.
In fact, differences between the U.S. and the others appear to be the principal reason negotiations will not be completed by year's end, as originally planned. One analysis of the leaked material suggests the U.S. is entrenched in its positions.
We use words such as "seems" and "appear" because few people outside the negotiations know exactly what the draft treaty says. The documents leaked include the chapter on intellectual property and the positions of the nations on issues in 14 chapters, though not the substance of the issues.
The delay - negotiations cannot be finalized until January at the earliest - gives the U.S. a great opportunity. It could make the proposals public, allowing the administration to get feedback from the public in general and the Senate in particular. The Senate must ratify all treaties.
Some members of Congress have seen negotiation texts, but only after hurdling barriers thrown up by the office of the U.S. trade representative. Interestingly, corporate members of an advisory committee were allowed unrestricted access to the documents.
At least two senators already have urged the documents be made public. In late May, Democrat Ron Wyden, of Oregon, chair of the Finance subcommittee on international trade, introduced a bill to require the White House to share trade documents with all members of Congress and their qualified staff. The trade office later allowed Wyden, but not his staff, to see the documents.
Last week, Democrat Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, asked Michael Froman, the nominee to be the next trade representative, whether he would make a copy of the negotiation text available to the public. She also asked for a full accounting of all information that has been made available to each official advisory committee. Republican Darrell Issa, of California, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has put the entire intellectual-property chapter on his website.
We are disturbed by the apparent U.S. positions in several areas. Beyond that, we are bothered by the general tone of assigning to corporations powers that are traditionally held by governments. Finally, we find the secrecy intolerable.
These talks are a big deal. The 14 nations have a combined gross domestic produce in excess of $28 trillion - yes, trillion - or roughly 40 percent of the world's GDP. The decisions made by the negotiators could lead to freer trade and more prosperity all around, but will that prosperity go to a few at the expense of the many.
As long as we don't know what is going on, we cannot judge. We need to know.

DETROIT -- Nearly three months ago, Twins outfielder Wilkin Ramirez stood at the same Comerica Park locker after a Sunday game and insisted he was improperly diagnosed with a concussion.
It wasn't until taking the short flight from Detroit to Milwaukee that Ramirez realized how wrong he was.
"Concussions are no joke," Ramirez said after learning Joe Mauer had become the fourth Twin to land on the seven-day concussion disabled list this season.
Ramirez was back playing in less than a month, but in his third game of a rehab outing in Fort Myers suffered a setback while diving for a line drive in the outfield. It took him until Aug. 12 to rejoin the Twins' active roster -- more than 11 weeks after colliding with Josh Willingham in left-center field.
"Now that I've been through it, I understand," Ramirez said. "I always thought this was a couple-day thing. It's not like that. It's not like an ankle or a shoulder. No one can tell you how long you'll be out."
Mauer's primary position only complicates matters.
"This is no joke, especially with Joe being a catcher," Ramirez said. "A lot of stuff happens back there."
Ramirez was in the dugout when New York's Ike Davis fouled a pitch off the top of Mauer's helmet on Monday afternoon.
"Right when it happened, I was like, 'Oh, wow. That was loud,' " Ramirez said. "That's a tough situation. I can't imagine how Joe is feeling right now. Hopefully he's resting and gets back soon.
Twins utility infielder Doug Bernier also suffered a concussion on the final day of the 2008 Triple-A season. He was beaned in the helmet in Las Vegas and spent the night in the hospital before doctors would allow him to fly back to Colorado Springs, where he was playing in the Rockies minor league system.
He remembers having "one of the worst headaches" of his life in the immediate aftermath.
Still bothered by ringing in his ears, Bernier needed another week before Rockies doctors in Denver would clear him to fly home to Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Offseason workouts were a challenge but Bernier was fine by the time spring training started in 2009.
"Concussions are scary," Bernier said. "You don't really know."

Finding the Fits -- Defensive Tackles
Over the last week and a half I have been highlighting a different position each day in an attempt to Find the Fit -- identifying 2011 prospects who are a particularly good schematic fits for the club that selected him. I'll also highlight one player per position who I believe could struggle in his new NFL role. Too often in the past rookies who have struggled in the NFL have done so because they were simply drafted into schemes that didn't fit their individual strengths.
The quality and depth of the 2011 defensive tackle class was one of the real strengths of this draft. Rather than focus on top 15 picks like Marcell Dareus and Nick Fairley for this post, however, I wanted to continue to highlight other, lower-drafted prospects who I feel could surprise because of their combination of talent and schematic fit. For all of the hype that Detroit has gained for adding Fairley, it is worth noting that both he and Ndamukong Suh are both best suited to the three-technique position in Detroit's 4-3 scheme. One of them -- or perhaps veteran Corey Williams -- is going to be taking on an awful lot of double-team blocks on the nose to free up the other. The combination of Fairley and Suh inside could be special, but it isn't as clean of a schematic fit as some have suggested.
Here are the links for the other positions:
Quality Fits:
Jarvis Jenkins, Washington Redskins: One of the real upsets of the draft occurred when Jenkins was selected earlier (No. 41) than his much more celebrated linemate at Clemson, defensive end Da'Quan Bowers (No. 51). Though Jenkins wasn't as highly decorated as Bowers, he did play a significant role in taking on blocks and freeing up a stunting Bowers to rack up easy sacks. Jenkins played defensive tackle in a four-man front at Clemson, but his long arms, good strength and surprising lateral agility make him an intriguing switch to the five-technique defensive end position in the 3-4.
Drake Nevis, Indianapolis Colts: Before and after Tony Dungy famously brought the "Tampa 2" defense to Indianapolis, the Colts had long valued undersized, penetrating defensive tackles. Nevis, 6-1 and 294 pounds, lacks the bulk and strength most teams are looking for inside, but his ability to collapse the pocket makes him an ideal fit for the Colts -- and at No. 87 overall, he presented very good value considering the early runs on defensive linemen in this draft and the Colts' need for help on the defensive interior.
Jerrell Powe, Kansas City Chiefs: Though I have reservations about some of the Chiefs' other picks of the 2011 draft, Powe was potential steal, especially considering that the All-SEC selection fell all the way to the No. 199th overall pick. At 6-2 and 335 pounds Powe possesses the ideal measurements of a 3-4 nose guard, an area of concern for the Chiefs. Had Powe come out after the 2010 season, he might have been a second or third round selection. A terribly disappointing 2011 season, however, pushed him down the board. There is no denying Powe's talent nor his fit in this scheme. The payoff on this late 6th round gamble could be significant should the Chiefs be able to light a fire under Powe.
Questionable Fit:
Stephen Paea, Chicago Bears: Like the three teams listed above, the Chicago Bears entered the 2011 draft with considerable needs along their defensive front, especially inside at defensive tackle. The Bears elected to release former first round pick Tommie Harris and may need to fill a hole at nose guard should scheduled free agent Anthony Adams play elsewhere next season. Like Adams, Paea is shorter than most teams want at defensive tackle and relies on a combination of explosive strength and leverage to control his opponent. Should the Bears plug Paea in at nose as a replacement for Adams, I don't know that the former Beaver will prove as successful as Adams has been in Chicago. Simply put, Paea is not a particularly instinctive defender. He'll blow up his share of plays due to his incredible strength (Combine record 49 reps of 225 pounds), but he won't make many plays outside of the guard-center-guard box. Even worse, Paea is not ideally suited to take over for Harris. Besides the lack of instincts, Paea isn't particularly quick, making him a tough projection as a three-technique who is expected to penetrate and create havoc in the backfield. I like Paea's upside, his value in the mid second round and the fact that he'll be reasonably protected by Julius Peppers on the outside. However, Paea is not the dominant force his reputation has led some to believe.

Could QB Ryan Mallett fall to the 3rd round?
I've spoken with representatives of three teams since last night's first round about the players they anticipated being among the earliest to go in the second round.
Among the names -- Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers, TCU QB Andy Dalton, Illinois LB Martez Wilson, Pitt DE/OLB Jabaal Sheard and Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick.
I was surprised that none of the teams mentioned Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett and asked each source about the record-breaking Razorback passer, specifically.
"I'm telling you right now, he could slip right out of the second round, entirely," one source said.
The questions about Mallett are, of course, more about his lack of desired intangibles for the quarterback position than they are about his physical skill-set. Most scouts believe that Mallett is the most talented passer in the draft.

DE Da'Quan Bowers' knee a concern for many
One of the biggest stories leading up to Thursday's opening of the 2011 NFL Draft has been the health of Da'Quan Bowers' surgically-repaired right knee.
Though, disinformation runs rampant in the days before the draft, historically-speaking, if several sources are telling you the same thing (even at this point) the information is typically true.
If the information is, indeed, true, Bowers could be in for a dramatic draft-day fall.
I've spoken to representatives of four different NFL teams who each have "legitimate concerns" about Bowers' knee and the leg strength surrounding it.
As a way of cutting through the smokescreens, I simply asked one team's representative how much faith he placed in his team's medical staff.
He explained that several teams, while confident in their own doctors, don't rely on one opinion. Just as members of National Scouting and BLESTO share scouting information, some NFL teams routinely "trade" medical reports on players. The source claimed to have the medical reports from six different teams (including his own) on Bowers and other prospects.
According to the source, each of the six teams had identified Bowers' knee as a concern. One club he identified as having given the knee a score of 3 (on a scale of 1 to 5), which could result in pushing the player's grade a full round.
The source expected Bowers, who was once viewed as a possible candidate for No. 1 overall, to slip into "the teens or later, but to probably still make the first round."
Both Chad Reuter and I each have the nation's leading sacker (15.5 sacks) slipping to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 20th overall selection. Based on the medical information, NFLDraftScout.com has dropped Bowers to No. 17 in our overall rankings.
Bowers underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus following the 2010 season. He elected not to participate in the Scouting Combine despite being "100 percent" as he wanted an opportunity to get into top physical condition like the other prospects had enjoyed. While this is certainly understandable, teams were initially concerned about the fact that Bowers postponed his Pro Day workout from its' originally scheduled date (March 10) to April 1st. Even with the longer time since his surgery, some felt that Bowers' workout was disappointing.

Teams are red-flagging DT Phil Taylor's feet
Every year there are players who slip on draft day and leave all of us befuddled. Later, we typically find out that the player had medical concerns pop up, leading to the unfortunate drop.
Injury concerns have led to unstable stock for Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers and Alabama running back Mark Ingram this year. They aren't the only first round talents being downgraded due to medical red-flags, I'm being told.
Baylor defensive tackle Phil Taylor, himself a veteran of 43 games played, is also under scrutiny. Apparently during his Combine check, there were various injuries that caused teams some concern, the most serious of which involves both feet.
Taylor, according to MRIs taken at the Combine, has bones growing together in his feet. The condition, which according to the source is not correctable through surgery, is a pain tolerance issue. Considering that Taylor played much of his senior season at 330-340 pounds -- and has allowed his weight to get into the 380s in the past -- teams are concerned that his weight will only make the injury tougher to handle.
"If he was a 190 pound player, it might be different. Or, if he was an older player and you were only signing him for a few years, it might be different," a source said. "But, it is pretty hard to invest a first round pick in a player who you know coming in is being red-flagged by the doctors."
"This isn't just our team, by the way. Every team gets the MRIs. Every other team is seeing this too."
I tested that theory, as it is important to remember that this is the time of year for NFL sources insinuating the truth (and, in the cases of some, flat-out lying) in an effort to push players down the board. Therefore, I contacted other sources within the league and did confirm with another source that Taylor's injuries were being red-flagged by his team's doctors, as well.

Damage control
Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers' agent, Joe Flanigan from BTI Sports, sent out a long e-mail to members of the media in order to stem the tide of negative press about his client's surgically-repaired right knee. Below is the text of the message, which obviously puts a positive spin on a difficult situation.

DE Bowers reportedly aces Combine re-check
Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers' knee surgery and subsequent rehabilitation have been the subject of great NFL consternation and plenty of publicity.
After a disappointing Pro Day workout , speculation increased that Bowers' rehabilitation wasn't going as planned. NFL teams were quietly using the terms "career-threatening" and "microfracture" to describe the nation's sack leader.
According to at least one team, however, Bowers' recovery is coming along well.
Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer cites an anonymous league source who notes that Bowers "didn't even have to undergo another X-ray or MRI because the physical exam went so well, the source said. Stability was good and there was no swelling in the knee."
Cabot also notes that the Cleveland Browns, owners of the No. 6 overall pick, will be hosting Bowers today and tomorrow at their team facility.
The Browns, switching to a 4-3 defense, are thought to strongly considering Bowers and other highly rated defensive linemen with their first round pick. The Browns finished with only 27 sacks last season, tied for the 4th lowest total by any team in the NFL.
Bowers, who measured in at 6-3 (3/8") and 280 pounds at the Combine, is NFLDraftScout.com's No. 7 rated prospect for the 2011 draft and our No. 2 rated defensive end (behind North Carolina's Robert Quinn).

Disappointing workout for Clemson DE Bowers
Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers, listed by some as a potential candidate to go No. 1 overall, may see his stock slip after a rather disappointing performance during his much-anticipated pro day workout Friday.
Bowers, according to sources on the scene, measured in at 6034 (6-3 1/2) and 276 pounds and was clocked at 4.91 seconds in the 40-yard dash. That time, coming off a hand-held stopwatch from a league scout, would have placed Bowers 21st among the 24 defensive ends tested this year in the event at the scouting combine. Only Oklahoma's Jeremy Beal (5.16), TCU's Wayne Daniels (5.03) and Boise State's Ryan Winterswyk (4.96) were slower when tested in Indianapolis.
To be fair, the 40-yard dash is hardly the end-all, be-all measurement for football players, especially defensive linemen, who will rarely (if ever) be asked to run 40 yards in a straight line on a football field. It is also important to note that Bowers is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus. The surgery kept Bowers sidelined for the combine agility tests and Clemson's initial pro day on March 10.
Unfortunately for Bowers, NFLDraftScout.com's No. 5-rated player overall, the lack of explosiveness demonstrated in his slow times in the 40-yard dash were also evident in his broad jump and vertical jump. In these events, Bowers tested at 9'2" and 34.5", respectively. These results were better in comparison to other defensive ends tested at the combine, but were characterized by the scout as "average for the position."
Another scout characterized Bowers' workout as a whole as "sluggish."
I've argued in the past that Bowers' eye-popping totals in 2010 (including a nation-leading 15.5 sacks) had been more of a function of an aggressive Clemson defense rather than the speed typically associated with highly productive pass rushers. Bowers, while powerful and possessing good lateral quickness, simply is not a quick-twitch athlete with a high degree of explosiveness. It is a primary reason why league sources characterized Bowers as an "overrated" defensive end in the 2011 draft.
Not surprisingly, considering his game-tape, Bowers was at his best during the shuttle drills. He was particularly fast in the 3-cone drill (6.95), demonstrating his ability to change directions fluidly and the acceleration he used so effectively in closing on quarterbacks last season. Only three defensive ends tested in Indianapolis tested faster in the 3-cone drill this year -- Texas' Sam Acho (6.69 seconds), Fresno State's Chris Carter (6.88) and Wisconsin's J.J. Watt (6.88). Of the three, only Watt (6-6, 290 pounds) is heavier than Bowers.
The fast times in this event, which requires heavy pivoting of the knee and acceleration, provide some evidence that Bowers' knee has healed.
That's good news for Bowers. However, it also limits his ability to pawn off his less-than-explosive measureables as a result of the knee not yet being fully healed.
Bowers' disappointing workout won't take the place of his dominant junior season in the eyes of scouts. It could, however, lead to a tumble on draft day, especially considering how closely rated Bowers has been in comparison to fellow pass rushers Robert Quinn, Cameron Jordan, Watt and others.

Video -- Risers/Fallers and a look at the DL
My fellow Senior Analyst Chad Reuter and I each get the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Shehadi each week as we prepare loyal CBS readers and viewers of the upcoming NFL Draft.
Chad discussed this week's Risers and Fallers, highlighting a receiver from the WAC who I'm quite high on. Among other things, Chad also explains why West Virginia safety Robert Sands left scouts a bit disappointed during his recent Pro Day workout.
Lauren and I spoke about several of the top defensive linemen in the draft. We began the conversation breaking down the differences between Marcell Dareus and Nick Fairley and also why I (and more importantly scouts) were nervous about Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers before concerns about his knee.
Lauren is always kind enough to ask a question about some lower level prospects that I don't think are getting enough national attention. I mention three players (all defensive tackles) this week -- one of whom I fully expect to make the first round. The other two, however, are players that few college fans have had an opportunity to watch, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see wind up as Top 100 selections.

Compound Functions
You know those Russian nesting dolls? Each doll has a smaller and smaller doll inside it? Compound functions are like that. A compound function is a function that operates on another function. It's written out like this: f(g(x)). To evaluate a compound function, first evaluate the internal function, g(x). Next, evaluate the outer function at the result of g(x). It's just double substitution: a classic SAT question that looks much meaner than it really is.
Try this example on for size:
First evaluate h(4):
Now plug 24 into the definition of j:
Just make sure you pay attention to the order in which you evaluate the compound function. Always evaluate the inner function first. If the question had asked you to evaluate h(j(4)), you'd get a completely different answer:
As with ordinary evaluating functions questions, the SAT doesn't always give you a constant with which to evaluate compound functions.
When you aren't given a constant, just substitute the definition of f(x) as the input to g(x). It's as if you're being asked to evaluate a signle function at a variable rather than a constant.
Compound Wacko Symbols Questions
The SAT also sometimes asks compound symbols questions. These are exactly the same as compound function questions.
Strange symbols are flying all over the place, and the question is asking you to calculate the value of a strange symbol with a variable in it?! No problem. The answer to this question is only two steps away:
- Calculate the value of x.
- Calculate the value of 7#x#3#11 (which won't be very hard, since by step 2, you'll know exactly what x equals).
Now plug x = –2 into 7#x#3#11:

UPDATE: Am I prescient or what??? Later in the day, Bristol gave birth to her "overdue" baby. What did she name the li'l guy? TRIPP. Just like his brother uncle TRIG. Gimme a break.Remember how Bristol was due December 15, so she couldn't POSSIBLY be the mother of Trig? Well, it's December 29 and no baby. Two weeks late and counting.
I'm telling you—Bristol Palin is the mother of Trig. I have my certainty! (But really, I have a lot of terrific circumstantial evidence and no convincing denials from the Palin camp, such as medical records.)
At least when Bristol gives birth this time (perhaps via induced labor if the mainstream media begins to ask questions), she will have free access to drugs.

Mobile clinic raises concernsFebruary 22,2013
NEWPORT Officials are concerned that a mobile methadone clinic in Vermont is not safe after a recent attempted robbery.
They feel the clinic, which parks each morning at the Newport city recycling center, isnt secure enough after a man approached a staffer last month at its nearby administrative headquarters. They say he demanded methadone and ran away without any after the staffer said she didnt have access to the drug, which is kept locked.
The Caledonian-Record reported that officials have suggested to the City Council that the treatment center be relocated to an office with a secured and locked entry.
Seven years ago, the city agreed to the mobile clinic. The idea initially was that it would serve other communities, too. But many patients have been going to the Newport location.MORE IN Vermont News

Charter school supporters are backing legislation that could mean a windfall for some of the independent schools, which can't levy taxpayers on their own.
The Republican-backed plan would allow local referendum dollars to follow students if they attend a charter within their district boundaries. It would take about $20 million from local school districts and transfer it to charters, which are public schools that operate outside the traditional district structure.
St. Paul and Stillwater would be among the biggest losers in the east metro if the bill passed, losing an estimated $3.3 million and $1 million respectively. But charter schools such as St. Croix Preparatory Academy in Baytown Township and Community of Peace Academy in St. Paul would gain $850,000 and $370,000 respectively.
"It seems like it would level the playing field if the levy dollars followed the student," said Karen Rusthoven, executive director of Community of Peace, the charter school that would receive the state's ninth-largest gain. "All of us are trying to provide a good education for all of our children."
A bill on the issue was discussed at a state House Education Finance committee meeting earlier this week. No action was taken.
State law does not allow Minnesota's charters to levy taxpayers for operations or buildings, unlike school districts, which levy about $2.2 billion annually from property owners. Charters get a per-student stipend from the state for operations and to rent space.
But opponents of the levy transfer say charters actually get more money per pupil than traditional public schools. This year, charter schools on average receive $10,044 per student, while school districts receive about $9,756 per pupil.
"When charters were created, the promise was if you free us from the burdens of mandates, we can educate students better and do it cheaper," said Rep. Jim Davnie, DFL-Minneapolis. "But when you dive into it, very few are doing it better, and they're not doing it cheaper.
School district leaders also point out other costs they shoulder for charter school students that charter supporters don't talk about, such as special education and transportation services.
Special education is the most expensive item. According to the state Education Department, school districts spend an additional $21.3 million - above and beyond aid they receive from the state and federal government - for special-education services for students in charter schools.
Scott Croonquist, executive director of the Association of Metropolitan School Districts, said his districts pay an additional $647 per pupil to make up for special-education costs the state and federal government aren't paying.
"Transferring those levy dollars, it would exacerbate an already very difficult budget situation for these districts," Croonquist said.
St. Paul spends an additional $33 million a year for special-education programs, said Jaber Alsiddiqui, the district's chief budget analyst. About $3 million of that goes to charter schools, according to state estimates.
The district cut about $23 million from its overall budget last year. And handing over levy dollars won't make things easier.
"This is not something that is going to help," Alsiddiqui said. "It's only going to make things worse."
Rusthoven said Community of Peace, which serves 750 students in preschool through high school, understands what it's like to operate under tight finances. This year, teachers there got a 1 percent raise after three years of no salary increases.
The St. Paul charter's $8.9 million budget also took a hit of $260,000 this year after lawmakers changed how lease aid is appropriated to charter schools, Rusthoven said.
"There's no doubt that levy money would be very helpful for us," she said.
St. Croix Preparatory would get the most money in the east metro if this bill is approved - about $850,000. School officials there did not return messages for comment.
The school draws most of its students from the Stillwater school district, which would lose $1 million under the bill. Right now, the district is grappling with significant budget reductions totaling about $10 million for next school year, more than 10 percent of the annual budget.
But Rep. Kelby Woodard, R-Belle Plaine, said the proposal is fair, making sure families aren't being penalized for sending their children to charter schools.
"If it's really all about the kids, then the money should follow where the kids are," he said.
Davnie believes it's only going to increase tensions.
"My biggest concern is it would ignite the ever-present hostility between charters and traditional public schools," Davnie said. "You have the adults fighting, and the kids are stuck in the middle."
