Editorial: Shopping center merits approval
If most of us were asked to sit down with a map of the county and the power of a monarch and design a major new development that would bring jobs to the community and make it more livable, we'd likely all come up with something different.
But it's unlikely many of us would advance the notion that Boise, Idaho-based Hawkins Co. has, based on complex market demand and freeway visibility computations. Because really, why would you choose a 740,000-square-foot big box development with a massive parking lot on a mostly agricultural stretch of land that provides the visual separation between the very distinct communities of Anderson and Redding — and can only be accessed over an aging and undersized freeway exchange?
Unfortunately, due to a combination of decisions made and not made over the years, that's the project we have. Our moribund economy is greatly in need of one, our elected representatives have unanimously endorsed it, and if Hawkins and the county can work out the traffic issues with Caltrans — either in or out of court — the developer should be allowed to go to work.
Although inflated by proponents, the shopping and entertainment power center will have a real economic impact.
The $135 million that Hawkins plans to spend on development is new money entering our economy. Nobody knows how much of the project's sales will be simply transferred from other local stores, but some of the money will be new. Such a major center will draw some Oregonians and southerners off the freeway, keep locals here to shop instead of going to Sacramento, and do a bit more trade with tourists.
Construction workers will go to work locally. Tax revenue — whatever portion is truly new — will provide a boost to the county's ailing general fund. To the extent the competition hurts older stores and restaurants, some of those jobs may simply move — but others will be created.
The process matters here, too. We elected five supervisors, and they closely reviewed this project and unanimously approved it. Citizens have every right to collect the signatures to force a review by the voters at large, but there may be a price to pay. If this project is rejected at the ballot box, future developers with better proposals will have to weigh the risks of proceeding in a community with an obstructionist streak.
The greatest risk of the Hawkins project is that by its sheer size it will become a turning point in our community — the point where we turned away from a future as a special place and toward a bland Anytown sameness.
The way to prevent that isn't to stop the shopping center. It's to commit our energies and leadership toward projects of the future in places like our downtowns and on Redding's Park Marina Drive, to invest in a vibrant culture of entrepreneurialism, to grow the footprint of higher education here, to expand our impressive and unique trails network.
As for the second question on the ballot, Measure B is a solution far out of proportion to the problem.
It seeks to freeze the zoning of the entire Churn Creek Bottom at a moment in time, when it is primarily zoned for "agriculture" in 5-acre minimum chunks. Despite the assurances of the measure's supporters, landowners would lose the ability to seek customary approval for almost every change to their property. Instead, they'd need a countywide vote. In other words, they could forget it.
We already have regular votes to determine how our region — including the Bottom — is planned. They're called county supervisor elections.
A detailed specific plan, which the county declined to fund when it could have made a difference, is a logical step toward protecting the Bottom. Twenty-four years of broad restrictions is unfair to private property owners and is bad policy.
We urge a "Yes" vote on Measure A and "No" on Measure B.

Traditions of monumental stone architecture in present-day Zimbabwe are continued into the early seventeenth century by the Torwa state, an apparent offshoot of the Great Zimbabwe culture. Closer to the coast, in what is today eastern Zimbabwe and central Mozambique, the Mutapa state controls trade routes that link the coast to the interior. Prestige items imported from Asia and Europe, as well as locally produced cloth and precious metals, are disseminated through the Mutapa court to gain the support of client chiefdoms. On the island of Madagascar, the Maroserana dynasty, a ruling class of foreign origin, emerges in the early seventeenth century and gains control of populations and territories throughout southern and western Madagascar, forming the Menabe, Boina, and Mahafaly states. The Merina state of the central highlands, which is not under Maroserana rule, also emerges at this time. Textile and funerary arts are central to the courtly cultures of these polities. On the eastern coast of Madagascar, Arab-influenced rulers employ court scribes to compile royal histories in Arabic script called sora-bé. In 1652, the Dutch East India Company establishes the colony of Cape Town on the Cape of Good Hope in present-day South Africa. Wealthy Dutch landholders and members of the colonial government build lavish homes here in the Dutch colonial architectural style.
16th17th centuryThe Mutapa state, located south of the Zambezi River in present-day Mozambique and Zimbabwe, controls trade routes from the interior of southern central Africa to the coast. Luxury imports such as silks, carpets, ceramics, and glassware are incorporated into courtly culture and distributed among client chiefs to win support. Mines in this area produce large quantities of gold and silver that are worked into bracelets and other insignia of rule by local craftsmen. Machira cloth, made locally from indigenous cotton, is an important emblem of leadership that is draped over the ruler's throne and hung from the palace walls. It is also used to wrap the bodies of deceased rulers and important officials. Animal products such as lion and leopard hides and ostrich plumes are reserved for royal use. Dynastic continuity is upheld through a cult of royal ancestors who advise and support the current ruler through court-appointed spirit mediums.
16th centuryca. 1650In present-day Zimbabwe, remains of decorative masonry found at Danangombe (the Torwa state's second capital) feature herringbone and checkerboard motifs and probably date to the early 1600s. Torwa is conquered around 1650 by Dombo Changamire, who establishes the Rozvi dynasty. No large stone structures are believed to have been built after this point.
early 17th centuryThe Maroserana dynastic ruling class emerges on the island of Madagascar. Introducing concepts of large-scale state organization and divine kingship, branches of the Maroserana dynasty proceed to create several states throughout southern and western Madagascar. Linguistic and ethnographic evidence suggests that the founders of the Maroserana dynasty may have come from mainland East Africa, possibly from the Mutapa state.
early 17th centurymid-19th centuryMaroserana rulers consolidate their power along the southern coast of Madagascar, forming the Mahafaly state and introducing new models of social organization and kingship rituals. It appears that imposing royal tombs, made of stone and decorated with cattle skulls and carved wooden posts, are introduced at this time.
ca. 1610late 19th centuryThe leader Ralambo consolidates Merina society in the central highlands of Madagascar, forming the Merina state. A council of twelve royal amulet guardians known as the sampy, as well as royal circumcision and bathing rituals, are introduced during Ralambo's rule. Noble and artisanal classes, a head tax, and a standing army are also created.
16431674France establishes Fort Dauphin at Antanosy, on the southwest coast of Madagascar. Many French residents of the fort, including the first governor, marry into wealthy Malagasy families.
mid-17th centurymid-19th centuryThe states Menabe and Boina emerge in present-day western Madagascar. Although ruled by members of the foreign Maroserana dynasty, these states are composed of predominantly Sakalava populations. Consequently, elements of Sakalava cultures such as the dady and tromba, which are associated with the cult of royal ancestors, are adopted by the Maroserana for state use.
1652late 18th centuryThe Dutch East India Company settles Cape Town at the Cape of Good Hope in present-day South Africa. Wealthy residents and government officials build large homes for themselves in the Dutch colonial style. The home of Cape Town's first governor, Willem Adrian van der Stel, is depicted in an engraving from 1705.
17th centuryPortuguese merchants and adventurers settle along the banks of the Zambezi River in estates called prazos. Many prazeros adopt African customs and marry into local chiefly families.
17th18th centuryAlong the eastern coast of Madagascar, scribes at the courts of both indigenous and Arab-Malagasy (Antemoro) rulers produce sora-bé, royal records written in Arabic script. The earliest of these documents contain mostly religious formulae, but in later decades political accounts and clan genealogies are also recorded.
1795Great Britain gains control of Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope.

Note: his has turned into a beta, as the script evolves to add more functionality and features from this thread. If you use this, pop in now and then to get the latest version.
Basically this is a stand alone exe file, that you can start when Road Runner is launched. It will monitor your CD/DVD Drive in the background. If you put in an Audio CD, one action is taken, and another if a DVD is inserted.
The actions taken are set up in the .ini file. You can use any Road Runner command. If you put a CD in, you can have it go to the CDRip screen if you wish.
With the default ini settings, when a Audio CD is inserted, it will load the songs from the CD to a playlist, and then go to the audio screen, and automatically begin playing. The same goes for the DVD.
When the disk is removed, it will continue to watch for another disk to be inserted.
If a CD/DVD is in the drive when Road Runner is loaded, it will just ignore it. If you leave an disk in the drive, I personally do not want it to start playing every single time Road Runner is started :)
YOU MUST change your CD/DVD drive letter in the ini initially to match the drive letter on your system.
Just place the AutoLaunch.exe and the AutoLaunch.ini in any directory that you want, and have it either start with the computer, or when RR starts. It is very CPU friendly! It will use less than 1% of your CPU cycles while it is running in the system tray.
CAUTION: If you start this with ONSKINSTART in the exectbl, the skin will load a second instance of the script with a RELOADSKIN command, so do try to avoid using this if you use an RELOADSKIN command in your skin to change background colors and the likes.
- I added code to save the playlist when a CD is inserted, and it will reload that playlist when the CD is ejected.
- It will now turn on and off 2 different indicators if a CD or DVD is in the drive. the indicator names are:
- When a CD is now ejected, it will return the the song that was playing, and the position the song was at.
- Delay timer set in the INI files to tweak it to slower, average, and faster CarPC's

For those not living in the DC area, Theodore Roosevelt Island is an island in the Potomac that's both a wilderness preserve and a memorial to Teddy R., with a 17 foot statue of the man himself waving at you as if to say, "Get off my island!"

I don't think it's too DC-specific. The location may be, but the jokes and family interaction work great.
And TR does seem like a cartoon person.

I agree. Definitely funny, whether or not you know the memorial in question. If Andrews McMeel deems it worthwhile, would love to see a collection of all the pre-syndication strips. And, if not, then I'll be the first name on the "Hey, Andrews McMeel, Publish Every Cul de Sac Strip Ever!" petition.

You're probably right, but I've kinda smothered the DC side of the strip, just to make it seem more unplaceable and universal.
I'll have to compile another few decades before the Complete Cul de Sac looks hefty enough to stand on a shelf with pride. It's gotta be a cinderblock at least!

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) - Lottery officials say a Cash Ball ticket worth $1 million has been sold at a Georgetown gas station.
The ticket matched the all the winning numbers picked during the May 22 drawing. The numbers were 2-5-7-11 and the Cash Ball was 18.
The Georgetown News-Graphic reports the ticket was sold at Clark's Pump N Shop, and the retailer will receive $10,000 for selling the ticket.
Lottery officials say the winner should sign the back of the ticket immediately. The ticket holder has 180 days to claim the prize.

In 1975, Frank Church, a Democratic senator from Idaho, told the American people that a government intelligence agency most of them had never heard of - the National Security Agency - "had the capability to secretly monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide."
Like many Americans, regardless of their political party, I was startled at this news.
At the time, Church was the chairman of the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities, better known as the Church Committee. ...

Justin Bailey scored once and added two assists Tuesday for the first three-point game of his OHL career as Kitchener lost a wild 9-6 decision at Erie in th Otters' annual school day game. Bailey's big game gives him 16 points (7+9), tying Dallas prospect Radek Faksa for most on the Rangers. Connor McDavid ('15) notched a goal and an assist for the Otters. Kitchener is off until Friday when they host Belleville.
In WHL action, Logan Nelson picked up a power play assist as Victoria edged Kamloops 2-1. Nelson's helper up his team-leading point total to 23 (10+13) after 25 games. The Royals are back in action Wednesday at Kelowna.
And just in case you were under a rock all day Tuesday, the Sabres elected to send Rasmus Ristolainen and Johan Larsson to Rochester, while placing Nikita Zadorov back in London of the AHL. Mikhail Grigorenko was also dispatched to Rochester for a two-week conditioning assignment.

By the numbers
22,312: Number of students enrolled in the Sioux Falls School District last year.
22,642: Number of students enrolled in the Sioux Falls district this year.
750: Projected increase in the number of students in the Sioux Falls School District this year.
330: Initial count increase in the number of students in the Sioux Falls district this year.
Enrollment in the Sioux Falls School District is more than 330 students above last years but the count comes in at less than half of budget projections.
The district, in an initial count after the first week of school, tallied 22,642 students K-12, about 400 fewer than what was projected.
The number probably will change because of late enrollees, officials said. However, district officials already have marked $2.5 million from reserves to help make up the potential gap in state funding.
Weve had phenomenal years of growth for the last couple of years, said district spokeswoman DeeAnn Konrad. We will continue to figure out where our students are at and welcome anyone new who comes to us. We are in an enviable position in the state of South Dakota, where our enrollment does grow. We know thats not the case in all school districts. While it might be a little less than what we thought, its still growth.
South Dakota schools will count their students again in late September to determine how much money they will get from the state.
The Sioux Falls School Districts elementary schools accounted for the greatest growth this year, with 270 more students than last year. Middle schools counted 80 more students, while the high schools are down 20.
Most surrounding school districts reported growth beyond what was projected.
Brandon Valley School Districts initial enrollment is up again this year, about 100 over last year. That surpasses the budget projections of 85 for a total of 3,585.
Tea Area School Districts day-one attendance saw an increase of about 60 students over last year, for a total of 1,520, said Superintendent Jennifer Lowery.
Weve been seeing increases between 4 and 6 percent over the last seven years, she said.
Harrisburg School District has 3,274 students attending as of Monday, a little less than the 3,300 projected, said Superintendent Jim Holbeck, but more than 280 students over last year.
Weve been growing by about that 300 mark the last couple of years, so we anticipated that would happen again, he said. Well still have some kids move in during the year.
Enrollment growth has resulted in rapid school construction in Harrisburg. New elementary and middle schools opened this year. The middle school has 393 students and the elementary has 377. Their capacities are 800 and 550.
The growth is something we anticipate, knowing its going to happen, and its always better to be on a growing side than a decline side, Holbeck said. Its been pretty consistent on an upward trend.

Team Australia in the final stages of preparation. Photo by David Gilmour
The team is expected to be sailing later that day and on the weekend.
They are scheduled to sail in a series of tune up races against the America's Cup Defender, Oracle Team USA.
The teams will be sailing in AC45's that are not fitted with foils, in other words, the standard AC45 that was used for the build up to the 34th America's Cup.
Tom Slingsby (AUS) is expected to helm the Oracle Team USA boat.
Several of the expected crew for Team Australia are involved in the JJ Giltinan Trophy being sailed at present on Sydney Harbour and not due to finish until Sunday. These include Seve Jarvin, helmsman of Team Australia in the recent Extreme Sailing Series. Jarvin is currently leading the JJ Giltinan Trophy with two wins from two races against a 34 boat fleet from six countries.

Our picks for good listening
My New EP
Chris Hatton
[Analog Beard]
Chris Hatton hails from Cleveland, Ohio, yet he has the soul of a mountain man living a self-imposed exile from society so he can hunker down and bust out music. His style is eclectic yet precise and deep...all the while having a good time making kick ass music.
His newest release shows an impressive range of talent, from the mellow tracks ("The Milky Way" and "Something to It"), to rocking balls in "The Champion," to taking a humorous swipe at people's obsession with social media in the instant classic, "Facebook Licks My Balls."
His songwriting style reminds me of Ryan Adams, mainly because his lyrics feel like he's just telling you a story whilst sitting at a bar. Also like Adams, Hatton's music strikes far deeper than all the douchebag "singer songwriter" crap making the rounds. Indeed, it's a fair thing to say that Hatton truly has nailed a voice for his generation.
This appears to be Hatton's second release as a solo artist (he used to play with League of Proper Musicians), as he released an EP a month before this LP...for free. The Three Free Song EP showed an even harder side of Hatton, with 2 of the 3 songs featuring him wailing on guitar.
The best part is, he does all this music on his own...and still plays in several other Cleveland bands.
With any luck, we'll be hearing a lot more from Hatton in the near future.
Blue Water White Death
Blue Water White Death
[Graveface Records]
This album starts out like some beautiful Antony and the Johnsons freakout, and never lets go. It's a strange, sometimes violent sonic world, a marvelous trek into abstraction that always feels one step from the edge of total madness...yet it never quite goes over the ledge.
This is the debut record coming from the collaboration of Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart and Shearwater's Jonathan Meiburg. The album pushes your mind, constantly making you think it's going one direction, only to veer onto another path. "Nerd Future" is like some mad scientist singing an opera while operating on live humans. Then it drops into "The End of Sex," which starts off with a few isolated strums, then leads into a gentle sound that sounds almost like a Paul Simon ditty.
In short, this is the way music is meant to be: creative, experimental, and raw. It's an impressive release, showing that you can successfully make good art while still delivering accessible music.
Trick B/W Treat
The Marshmallow Ghosts
[Graveface Records]
The Marshmallow Ghosts is the "house band" of Graveface Records, featuring members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, Dreamend, The Appleseed Cast, and Casket Girls. The idea seems to be that they release something every Halloween, which is great since that's obviously the best holiday in the history of days.
This offering is short- 2 tracks- but rich indeed. As always, Graveface offers the record in digital as well as vinyl, with a limited edition 7" picture disc complete with a glow-in-the-dark sleeve. The digital version comes with remixes of each track (naturally called "666Gacy666mix").
It's a sweet abandon from the normal music that comes across the Kotori desk. "Trick" is a gradual build, with birds singing and chirping, building into some industrial-feeling beat, climaxing in distorted vocals and vibrations. I don't know what they're talking about, man! Probably something to do with Satan or campfires.
"Treat" is a real creepy track, as it starts with children giggling, then a witch, then a wolf, oh no! Something is very wrong here. I feel like they left a tape recorder on as they were massacring children...which would normally be a laugh, but this is just terrifying. It bleeds into distorted guitars and other instruments, making for a real fun treat, indeed.
The remixes are even more exciting, making this a great find. Hopefully we'll have more tracks from Marshmallow Ghosts this Halloween...assuming some jackoff parents don't go crying about their dead children.

Incidence and Nature of Child Labor
An estimated 23.7 percent of children ages 5 to 14 years were counted as working in Bolivia in 2000. Approximately 25.5 percent of all boys 5 to 14 were working compared to 21.8 percent of girls in the same age group.494 Children work in agriculture, including in the production of sugar cane and Brazil nuts.495 Children also engage in activities such as begging, street vending, shining shoes, and assisting transport operators.496 Children work in industry, construction, small business, hotels and restaurants, and small-scale mining.497 Children have been used to traffic drugs.498 Some children are brought or sent by their parents from rural to urban areas to work as domestic servants for higher-income families, often in situations that amount to indentured servitude.499 Child labor is one of many problems associated with poverty. In 1999, the most recent year for which data are available, 14.4 percent of the population in Bolivia were living on less than USD 1 a day.500
The commercial sexual exploitation of children, including child prostitution, is a problem in Bolivia.501 Trafficking of children internally from rural to urban areas for commercial sexual exploitation occurs.502 Children are also trafficked to work in sugar cane production in Santa Cruz and Tarija.503 There have also been reports of children trafficked to work in small scale mines.504 A 2004 study sponsored by IOM and the OAS found that there were girls from Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia working as prostitutes in urban centers in Bolivia.505 Children are also trafficked from Bolivia to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Japan, Spain, and the United States for the purpose of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation.506
The Constitution of Bolivia provides for free public education, and primary school, which covers ages 6 to 13, is compulsory.507 In 2002, the gross primary enrollment rate was 115 percent and the net primary enrollment rate was 95 percent.508 Gross and net enrollment ratios are based on the number of students formally registered in primary school and therefore do not necessarily reflect actual school attendance. In 2000, 89.5 percent of children ages 5 to 14 years were attending school.509 As of 2002, 81 percent of children who started primary school were likely to reach grade 5.510
The U.S. Department of State reports that enforcement of and compliance with educational requirements are generally weak.511 An ILO-IPEC rapid assessment of child work in the sugar cane harvest found that 90 percent of children working in sugar cane in the Tarija region did not attend school.512
Child Labor Laws and Enforcement
The Child and Adolescent Code and the Labor Code set the minimum age for employment at 14 years, except in the case of apprenticeships.513 The ILO Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations has noted that Bolivian law does not provide a minimum age for apprenticeships.514 Children 14 to 18 years must have the permission of their parents or of the government authorities in order to work.515 The Child and Adolescent Code prohibits children ages 14 to 17 years from taking part in hazardous activities such as carrying excessively heavy loads, underground work, work with pesticides and other chemicals, or work at night. The code also requires employers to grant adolescent workers time off to attend school during normal school hours.516 The law prohibits forced or compulsory labor;517 the Constitution specifically prohibits any kind of labor without consent and just compensation.518 Bolivian men who have reached the age of 18 are required to perform military service for 1 year. The law allows children ages 15 and older to volunteer for certain military activities if they have completed 3 years of secondary education.519
The Government of Bolivia has several laws that regulate the worst forms of child labor. The Penal Code prohibits the prostitution of minors and calls for penalties of 4 to 8 years of imprisonment if the victim is 14 to 17 years of age, and 5 to 10 years of imprisonment if the victim is less than 14. The code also prohibits trafficking for prostitution and establishes the penalties of 5 to 10 years of imprisonment if the victim is 14 to 17 years of age, and 6 to 12 years if the victim is under 14.520 In July, the Bolivian Congress approved legislation strengthening the Penal Code's trafficking provisions, and at the end of the year, the Vice Ministry of Justice was drafting additional trafficking legislation.521 Since 1999, the Government of Bolivia has submitted to the ILO a list or an equivalent document identifying the types of work that it has determined are harmful to the health, safety or morals of children under Convention 182 or Convention 138.522
The Ministry of Labor is responsible for enforcing child labor provisions. The ministry has 15 labor inspectors working throughout the country. Questions regarding child labor have been incorporated into the inspection checklists they use. Municipal Defender of Children and Adolescents offices, the Public Ministry, and the police also work to protect children's rights.523 Childhood and Adolescence Courts are empowered to resolve issues involving children and apply sanctions for violations of the law.524 The U.S. Department of State reports, however, that child labor and related laws such as the Child and Adolescent Code are not effectively enforced due to resource constraints.525 The government has established special anti-trafficking police and prosecutor units in the major cities of La Paz, Santa Cruz, and Cochabamba, and six individuals were arrested between April and September on charges related to trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of minors.526
Current Government Policies and Programs to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Government of Bolivia's policy framework to address child labor is the National Plan for the Progressive Eradication of Child Labor 2000-2010.527 Due to the challenges in implementing a long-term plan, a 3-year subplan to combat child labor was adopted during 2005.528 The Interinstitutional Commission for the Eradication of Child Labor is responsible for implementing these plans.529 In addition, subcommissions on commercial sexual exploitation of children and child labor in mining, sugar cane, and urban areas have been established and had annual operating plans for 2005.530 The U.S. Department of State reports, however, that the unstable political environment in the country and lack of continuity in the leadership of the Interinstitutional Commission has hampered its work, and an independent evaluation found that financing for implementation of the National Plan has been lacking.531
The government has engaged in a public information campaign against child prostitution and some educational efforts to combat trafficking.532 The Vice Ministry of Youth, Childhood and Senior Citizens implements a Plan for the Prevention of and Attention to Commercial Sexual Exploitation, with a focus on efforts in the country's largest cities.533 Also, during the year, the government established a National Commission against Trafficking to develop a plan to combat trafficking.534
The government participated in a USD 1.6 million regional ILO-IPEC project to eliminate child labor in small-scale mining in the Andean region, which ended in February 2005,535 and continued to participate in a USD 1.5 million 4-year project to improve access to and quality of basic education for children engaged in mining in Bolivia.536 UNICEF and ILO-IPEC are also working with the government to implement an approximately USD 115,000 project to combat child labor in sugar cane in Tarija and Santa Cruz.537 The Ministry of Education supports mobile schools to provide education to children involved in the project.538 The government is also developing a database to better understand the situation of working children; by the end of 2005, the database included only information on children working in sugar cane.539
The Government of Bolivia is working with UNICEF to provide free birth registration and identity documentation to citizens, in order to facilitate their access to social services such as education and reduce their vulnerability to trafficking.540
The Ministry of Education's Vice Ministry of Alternative Education provides night classes that are accessible to working children and adolescents.541 The Government of Bolivia, with USD 36 million in assistance from the IDB, continued to implement its educational reform program during 2005, which aims to promote local-level participation in education, among other goals.542 Also during the year, the government received World Bank support for a USD 100 million Education Quality and Equity Strengthening Project that aimed to improve infrastructure and educational processes as well as increase public participation in the country's education reform, among other goals. The government also received World Bank support through a Social Sector Programmatic Development Policy Credit that includes approximately USD 3.75 million in funding for education.543
494 UCW analysis of ILO SIMPOC, UNICEF MICS, and World Bank surveys, Child Economic Activity and School Attendance Rates, October 7, 2005. Reliable data on the worst forms of child labor are especially difficult to collect given the often hidden or illegal nature of the worst forms, such as the use of children in the illegal drug trade, prostitution, pornography, and trafficking. As a result, statistics and information on children's work in general are reported in this section. Such statistics and information may or may not include the worst forms of child labor.

July 11, 2015 — For only 10% of WordPress's life have build and test tools been a part of our core repository. We have only solved 10% of the problems we can with tooling. 10% answers can kill you in software development. They're the tip of the sword. Here's my question: What is the next ten percent of our answer?
November 3, 2014 — Contributor Track: Core
August 13, 2014 — We create applications for our users They have different skills, different styles, different abilities and they use our sites in many different ways. Let's discuss the way that users use our site and remember the users we forget.
July 1, 2014 — Websites use colors everywhere, but creators of sites don't always understand the theory behind color. They don't understand the emotional impact that color can have, or how colors interact with one another. They also don't always understand how colors contrast with one another or how the math behind that works. And they often fail to take into account users with color deficiencies or provide enough sufficient contrast for their users.
This presentation looks at color from a theoretical perspective and a practical perspective. It answers the technical questions of what color contrast is and what goes into creating it and also look at how color deficiencies affect color choice and how we can test and design for all of our users.

A. A license or permit sanctioning the sale of such alcoholic beverage has been obtained by the seller; and
B. The license or permit sanctioning such sale and any posters, signs, notices or other material or information required by applicable law or by the State Liquor Authority are prominently displayed at the site of such sales.
5. The individual(s) and/or group(s) sponsoring an event or activity at which any alcoholic beverage is to be sold or served (the "sponsor") shall be responsible for ensuring that all New York laws and regulationsi and all Teachers College rules and regulations regarding the sale, service, possession, and consumption of alcoholic beverages are observed at such event or activity. This responsibility shall include, without being limited to, the following:
A. The event or activity must comply with this policy, including effective procedures for examining attendees' evidence of age.

importance of such actions in addressing any violations of the College's alcohol and drug policies.
9. Violation of this Policy or of any of these specific policies, procedures, or regulations is subject to applicable College disciplinary codes and policies. Sanctions which may be assessed against violators include, for students, suspension and expulsions, and for employees, discharge.

POST MOUNTAIN (Burnet County). Post Mountain is in west central Burnet County about a mile southwest of Burnet (at 30°45' N, 98°15' W). It stands at an elevation of 1,514 feet above sea level, rising more than 200 feet above the surrounding countryside. The mountain was named for the nearby military post that became Fort Croghan.

text: Woman pronounced dead by coroner miraculously shows up to her vigil Updated: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - There were tears of joy after Sarah Bustamante walked through the doors of her mother's house Monday morning, CBS affiliate KERO-TV reports.The Kern County Sheriff's Office said they misidentified the woman shot and killed , and the coroner's office has since identified the woman as 42-year-old Maria Rodriguez.Bustamante's family was getting ready to have a car wash in her memory after the Kern County Sheriff's Office told them she was dead Sunday morning. Now it is known that Rodriguez was mistaken for the 32-year-old Sarah Bustamante."I really thought it was her, yesterday we did posters, we did candle-lights out there, this morning she walks up… and she's alive," Cousin Priscella Alvarez said tearfully.Sunday morning around 4 a.m. three deputies shot Rodriguez who was standing on top of a rock pile near Union Ave and Elliot Street. Rodriguez was throwing rocks and yelling, the sheriff's office said. She then pointed a gun at deputies and they fired.Turns out the gun was a B.B. gun made to look like a real semi-automatic handgun.

WTB Womens Board
I'm looking to buy a beginners women's snowboard for my girlfriend. As far as requirements, they're pretty lax, size MUST be between 143-148. For the most part she rides all mountain, and is looking for a board to ride that she wont have to get used to a new set up all the time.
As far as money goes, depending on the setup I can go to 300, Don't need boots, just interested in board/bindings.

Worldchanging guest writers David Zaks and Chad Monfreda are graduate research assistants at the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment at UW-Madison where they work on understanding how human activities affect the biological and physical systems of our planet.
There's no doubt that modern science has increased our knowledge substantially, but discoveries like the Yeti crab continue to surprise us. Despite everything we do know, we need a focused plan to manage the uncertainties we don't.
Policy-makers deal with uncertainty all of the time. Just think about the economy, national security, or public health - but for some reason there is a different standard when it comes to the environment. How often do we have to hear the call for more research before acting on global warming?
In an effort to reduce the uncertainties, scientists and policy-makers set out to compile a broadly agreed list of specific ecological questions that are a priority for policy development in the UK. In the past, hot lists of the top scientific questions have influenced other fields like mathematics. Now the target field is ecology:
A list of such questions for ecology should produce a greater synergy between policy, practice, and research, and could inform researchers and research funders as to where their efforts might best be focused.
The collaboration produced a paper in the academic Journal of Applied Ecology that identified the top 100 ecological questions of policy relevance in the UK. These 100 questions were winnowed from a longer list of 1000 suggestions from 654 people representing 10 academic institutions and 28 governmental and non-governmental organizations.
During a two-day workshop on "Prioritizing research questions for policy makers and practitioners", the policy community selected the final list of questions. Academics played an advisory role by facilitating discussion. The 100 questions are organized into 14 categories:
Ecosystem services; Farming; Forestry; Fisheries, aquaculture and marine conservation; Recreation and field sports; Urban development; Aliens and invasive species; Pollution; Climate change; Energy generation and carbon management; Conservation strategies; Habitat management and restoration; Connectivity and landscape structure; Making space for water.
While the questions are all about ecology, they have a strong relationship to current and future policies. Recent changes to the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) were a dominant theme in the agricultural and forestry related questions. Overarching themes include economics, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable resource management. The majority [of the questions] related to understanding the drivers of biodiversity change and the effectiveness of the conservation response.
The scale of the questions ranges from local to global. Many questions are particular to the UK, like the ecological effects of fox hunting. Others are important just about everywhere, such as the time lags expected between climate change and ecological change.
The most fascinating questions lie at the edge of global change research at the interface of several areas, such as water-land, land-air, and air-water. Not only are they scientifically and policy relevant, but they also require interdisciplinary teams of scientists to collaborate.
The little questions, however, best remind us of how much we don't know. Who would have thought that the role of soil mites and nematodes in ecosystem function would make the list? Or whether or not the decline in common moths is driving the decline of bats?
A breakdown of the questions reveals policy priority in the UK...
44% greater understanding or predictive power
34% measure of impact of anthropogenically induced changes
13% measure of effectiveness of management interventions to support biodiversity
6% appropriate methodology
3% to optimize management
By prioritizing research questions, scientists and the policy community are working towards a unified agenda. Even with a unified agenda, however, science and policy work at disparate scales in both space and time. The differences in their approaches pose a challenge for effective collaboration:
The most striking outcome was the preference for general questions rather than narrow ones. The reason is that policy is driven by broad issues rather than specific ones. In contrast, scientists are frequently best equipped to answer specific questions. This means that it may be necessary to extract the underpinning specific question before researchers can proceed.
The authors hope that their efforts will open lines of communication between scientists and the policy community that will generate policies based on the most current science. A stronger synergy is needed between the policy and scientific communities, and forums like this are one way to turn science into worldchanging policies.
It's clear that policy-makers stand to benefit by steering researchers in relevant directions. And researchers stand to benefit by making their science accessible to the world outside of their narrow professional community. Disciplinary disincentives have traditionally discouraged scientists from engaging with lay people. But the mood is changing, and ecology is taking the lead. After all, applied ecologists conducted and participated in this project.
We're glad to see dialogue between scientists and policy-makers. If they're to provide solutions, they need to speak a common language and share a common vision. The collaboration is a big advance on a serial approach to science and policy deliberation where there is a one-way flow of information from scientists towards policymakers. A section of the paper titled From Science to Policy, however, reinforces a linear approach where scientists first get the facts straight and then decision-makers act on them.
A large body of evidence suggests the real world works otherwise. Science policy analysts like Roger Pielke Jr. warn that the linear model encourages the politicization of science. When facts precede policy it is easy - as we've witnessed in the prolonged climate debate - to derail action by challenging the science. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that it is easy to confine action to a do-nothing approach because to decide not to act is a decision too. The linear model limits action when what we need to do is expand it.
Instead of politicized science, Pielke advocates a policy-based science where scientists help decision-makers assess the feasibility of alternative futures:
One way to depoliticize science may be to ask scientists to participate in the process of connecting science with policy alternatives - to explicitly consider what alternatives are or are not consistent with scientific understandings in relation to different valued outcomes. By working to expand the scope of choice available to decision-makers, scientists can depoliticize their science and offer the potential for the introduction of options previously unseen or outside existing political debates. (link)
To know the future is not to predict it but to plausibly imagine it. Knowledge as prediction is often impossible. Chaos, complexity, cascades, regime-shifts, tipping points, and ecopunkt introduce uncertainties that we can never eliminate - waiting for certainty means waiting until it's too late. But the conundrum goes further. Science creates more uncertainty by shaping the very planet it's studying into a human garden.
In increasingly dynamic times, we need new models of science to help us plausibly imagine an open, responsible, and responsive future. Although the UK collaboration between scientists and policy-makers is a positive step, there's much greater potential to use science to envision the ecological agenda.
Opening the future means stepping into uncertainty where science engages art. Here Wendell Berry offers a word of wisdom:
The real question that is always to be addressed is the one that arises from our state of ignorance: How does one act well - sensitively, compassionately, without irreparable damage - on the basis of partial knowledge?
Perhaps the most proper, and the most natural, response to our state of ignorance is not haste to increase the amount of information, or even to increase knowledge, but rather a lively and convivial engagement with the issues of form, elegance, and kindness. These issues of "sustainability" are both scientific and artistic.
Chad and David, thank you for succession of excellent posts. I look forward to more from you.
Very nice post...

All the years I have waited
Each day here
As the round of slaughtered beasts
has filled the air with the smell of blood and flesh.
I have seen nations fall.
Emperors rise
not dreaming that their realms will end
their statues will be broken, their names erased.
Now, there in Simeon's arms
- the still point
The axis on which the universe turns.
Ancient of Days, yet six weeks old.
Time for us now, Simeon
Dawn has come
We've waited through some dark nights
We've seen the light, we can find our way home.

Creative Communities: Barre's art scene built upon its unique history
The granite sculptures in Hope Cemetery and scattered throughout downtown Barre continue to catch the eyes of ensuing generations, while the current visual-art scene in the North Main Street space Studio Place Arts builds upon that foundation laid by Italian immigrants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will have Paul Batch demonstrating landscape painting in oil at its meeting on Wednesday, May 28, at 1:30 pm. The meeting will be Newtown Meeting House (lower level), 31 Main Street. The demonstration is open to the public, free of charge.
Paul Batch has been developing a reputation for his evocative atmospheric landscapes. He captures the fleeting and ephemeral light cast by the passing sun or rising moon. He focuses on transition, painting the dramatic effects of changing weather conditions or times of day upon the natural and uninhabited landscape.
"I am drawn to the beauty of transitional moments in time ... twilight, a passing storm, the moon rising," says Mr Batch. "The beauty comes in part from our awareness that these moments are fleeting."
Mr Batch studied at Hartford Art School. In his developing career he has received numerous awards including a Gold Medal from the Connecticut Plein Air Painters Society. He is an Elected Artist Member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts.
He has given several guest lectures and workshop demonstrations on painting. Currently, Mr Batch teaches at West Hartford Art League.
While he draws inspiration from many places, he makes Connecticut his home.

I don't know about you, but for me I'm addicted to 3d art, and the ease at which DAZ allows us to make it. I'm sure you've heard of DAZ 3d March Madness.
If you haven't let me tell you about it: March Madness means you can get those DAZ props, models, software and plugins for 30% or 50% off.
You can take 30% off of any madness product, or 50% off if you buy 2 or more products. New selections are added daily throughout March.
DAZ knows our addiction, and wants to help us by having DAZ 3d March Madness sales, which can be really crazy.
Because we are going to buy that stuff anyway, because we can't help it. So they turn our addiction into a sort of sale game, and make available to us that cool 3d stuff for half the price.
Personally, I am thankful for the DAZ 3d March Madness. I have a good reason. I need a lot of 3d assets. I do a lot of CG work for movies. I need lots of dynamic things like clothes, hair, figures, HDR domes, animation plugins that use motion capture files, lots of photo-realistic backgrounds, and models, the list goes on and on.
All of that does not include the photo-realistic 3d illustration work I do for stock-photo sites.
March Madness gives an artist, or animator, filmmaker, a chance to expand on their art for half the price. How could you not love that?
My suggestion: find out what you want, and when you need it, if you don't need it right away, then wait for a big sale like DAZ 3d March Madness.
It will enable you to the make your 3d dreams come true faster and more of it.
Another great thing about the sales is it gives you the opportunity to try products out that you might not normally use. The price reduction allows this. You might be an illustrator, who wants to try out animation. Well, now you can get AniMate for cheap. Or it might be the other way around, and now some shaders will be cheap to try more complex rendering.
Sales are great for content places like DAZ, great for the pocket book, and assisting us to be even more creative, opening the door to endless possibilities.
If you are a 3d enthusiast, and you haven't heard of March Madness, take a look at it now. You won't be sorry. I know I'm not.
Now I can produce CG style HDR, a perfect animations for the cool zombie move I'm working on right now. This drastically the realism of my compositing.
Go to DAZ 3d March Madness now:

I much prefer reading well thought out, penetrative, sustained dinner-table-like discussions found mostly on forums and blogs like this. Social media, with its pithy, ephemeral bar-room-style chit chat, serves as a taster to the meal. it's like browsing for books on a library shelf: 'all that information on those spines is making me dumber'. Not 8^)
October 29, 2013 10:19 am
Very well put. I think this is a wider phenomenon (long before GPS, I had a camera but no light meter. I rarely got exposure wrong – but I certainly would if I tried it now). The internalisation of technologies just keeps going, and some people keep feeling threatened by it.
Your post immediately made me think of a lovely account by danah boyd of being in a lecture next to somebody who thought she wasn't paying attention, which I wrote about at http://publicstrategist.com/2009/07/what-it-is-to-be-modern/ – the second quotation is priceless.

CINCINNATI, Oh. - The Bengals today signed DE Margus Hunt of Southern Methodist, one of their two second-round selections in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Hunt (6-8, 277) brings rare potential and an intriguing personal story to the Bengals' plans for continued improvement of their highly ranked defense. A native of Estonia, in northern Europe, he earned international honors as a track thrower (discus, shot and hammer) before coming to U.S. on an SMU track scholarship. When the SMU track program disbanded, he joined the football team and became an immediate factor, despite lacking any gridiron experience. He used his superior height and agility to block 17 career place kicks, including an NCAA-record 10 blocked field goals, and he showed continuous improvement in base defense, closing his career with 16.5 sacks.
The Bengals have now signed seven of their 10 selections from the 2013 draft. Signed previously were LB Sean Porter of Texas A&M (fourth round), G Tanner Hawkinson of Kansas (fifth round), HB Rex Burkhead of Nebraska (sixth round), WR Cobi Hamilton of Arkansas (sixth round), OT Reid Fragel of Ohio State (seventh round) and C T.J. Johnson of South Carolina (seventh round).

Teen Driver Killed in Plunge Into Illinois Quarry
OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say a 17-year-old has died after crashing a car through a fence and plunging 70 feet into a quarry in Ottawa.
Ottawa firefighters helped recover the teen's body from a pit of water and sand at the bottom of the quarry. The LaSalle County Coroner's Office identified the victim as Zachary Behrens of LaSalle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident happened around 7 p.m. Monday.
Witnesses saw the car hit a curb at high speed and crash through a security fence before shooting over the cliff at the U.S. Silica mined sand pit.
Behrens had been a student at LaSalle-Peru Township High School.
