Elections and a 'fiscal cliff' loom ahead, but residential recovery continues
Posted By admin On October 4, 2012 @ 11:33 am In Articles,Data Mining,Departments | No Comments
By George H. Reddin
Uncertainty continues to characterize the near-term economic outlook and inhibit stronger growth and job creation. This has been a common theme for this article during the last few years and has been a major reason for the tepid pace of merger and acquisition activity.
The November elections and the pending 'fiscal cliff' have uncertainty at a high in the United States and, together with continued troubles in Europe, lead to economic uncertainty globally. Job creation remains the key to improvement in the construction market, and erosion of consumer and business confidence resulting from the pending 2013 fiscal cliff could result in adverse economic consequences that could slow the recovery process.
That said, the elections and fiscal cliff issues will be behind us by the second quarter of 2013, and there appears to be more optimism among U.S. producers that the residential recovery has begun. With MAP-21, there will be certainty for the next two years in the highway sector. Aggregates demand should benefit from a recovery in private construction activity and stability in highway funding, which, in turn, will be good for merger and acquisition transactions.
Recent transactions
Oldcastle Precast, Inc. signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Central Precast Concrete, Inc. and U.S. Concrete Precast Group from U.S. Concrete, Inc., which includes six precast concrete operations in California, for $21.3 million. The transaction was expected to close during the third quarter of 2012.
Clark Pacific Corp. acquired property in Adelanto and plant operations in Irwindale, Calif., from Hanson Structural Precast, Inc. The plant manufactures and supplies structural and architectural precast components. Clark Pacific Corp., founded in 1963 and based in West Sacramento, Calif., engages in the design, manufacture, and installation of architectural precast building systems in the United States.
Other news
Cemex won more than 90-percent acceptance of an offer to extend maturities on $7.25 billion of loans by three years. Support for the proposal improves Cemex's efforts to prevent a financing crunch in 2014 by pushing maturities to 2017. Based on acceptance notices from creditors wanting the new high-yield notes, Cemex anticipates issuing a principal amount of $470 million.

It's like most of the regulars fell off a Cliff. Maybe the "chatter" will pick-up pre and post prospective Acquisition. Mean time, Old fx seems to be holding the Fort as the #1 Cheerleader......keep it up!
Also, as an aside, regarding the Arbitrage going on, the Traders (crooks,etc) will NOT be able to hold FR down much longer. Valuations are looking attractive!

I've posted about Hirano Aya's new single 涙 NAMIDA ナミダ, written by famed Hello!Project producer Tsunku.
But she quietly released another single in late September that I enjoy more -- Mind Loop, a character CD single for the PS2 game Memories Off6 ~T-wave~. You can hear it on YouTube.
It's a simple, flowing melody that Aya sings with musicality and sweet melancholy. The lyrics speak of walking lost in a dark green forest from morning to night, hoping to see the one she loves. (Click images to enlarge.)
The music is by Mizuno Daisuke 水野大輔, with lyrics by Suzumori Yuuko 涼森有羽子.
I guess I have strange taste, but two character songs you can hear on YouTube are two of my favorite Hirano songs: one from Sumomo mo Momo mo where she sings jazz -- a kind of bluesy scat song -- and this one.
This doesn't count as a Hirano Aya single, since it is nominally by her character from the game, Hakosaki Chisa. No doubt it was just tossed off in a day or so, not worked on for weeks. But it's better music, for me, than the more intense major release.
You can buy the disk from Amazon Japan or CD Japan, among other places. You can download a promo movie for the game itself from the official site. The game can be found at Play-Asia. Other well-known seiyuu involved are Tanaka Rie, Gotou Yuuko, and Miyazaki Ui.

I am a huge fan of monoprice because most of their products have amazing quality and their prices are very manageable even for a teenager like me. I have been thinking about getting a Blue Jean auxillary cable for my headphones, but it is almost $40.
Is BJA really that great of a company? Or should I just stick with the low prices at monoprice?

Buy 20 $2 cables that do the same thing and on your death bed you'll be leaving 15-19 (depending on how careless you are) of them to your heirs..I don't go THAT far, but since the cables are cheap (in price) you can often end-up spending as much shipping as for the cables... So, I usually buy one or two extra, or sometimes a few in different lengths to get the price up to $10 or $20.
I've got a little box full of audio cables & adapters, and I usually have whatever I need. But, whenever do need a cable (or adapter) I order extra and add to my collection of spares.

In other actionThe Fort Collins City Council on Tuesday:
Approved a resolution supporting an application to Great Outdoors Colorado for a grant to help fund the extension of the Fossil Creek Trail from College Avenue to Shields Street.
Approved on first reading an ordinance appropriating $170,000 to fund transportation consulting services related to updating the West Central Neighborhoods Plan focused on Prospect Road between College Avenue and Shields Street.
Mayor Karen Weitkunat will represent the Fort Collins City Council on a committee that will give advice on how the proposed CSU stadium should be developed if it is ever built.
Councilmember Ross Cunniff will serve as an alternate representative to the committee and participate if the mayor is absent. The selections were passed unanimously by the City Council on Tuesday after a long discussion.
Weitkunat said her goal would be to represent the whole city as the advisory committee weighs topics such as traffic, noise and pollution and how to address them. The stadiums impacts would reach well beyond the boundaries of the CSU campus, she said.
It is community concerns that we need to bring to the table, Weitkunat said.
The Community Design Development Advisory Committee is expected to review a variety of issues related to the proposed facility and offer direction to the stadiums design team on how to mitigate the impacts if the $226 million stadium were built.
The final decision on the project will be made by the CSU Board of Governors, perhaps in the fall. CSU President Tony Frank has said his recommendation to the board will be based on a number of factors, including finances.
The committee is expected to have 19 members, said Roger Sherman, chief operating officer of CRL Associates Inc., which is organizing the committee. So far, 11 people have agreed to be on the panel and represent a variety of stakeholders.
Groups expected to have seats on the committee include CSU faculty, staff and students. Campus neighbors and the business community also are expected to be represented.
Outspoken critics and supporter of the project also are expected to have seats on the committee.
The committee is scheduled to have its first meeting 6 to 8 p.m. March 3 at the Drake Centre, 802 W. Drake Road. Committee meetings are expected to be held the first Monday of each month for about six months, Sherman said.
More meetings will be added if they are needed. Meetings will be open to the public, Sherman said, but it wont be an open mic.
These will be working meetings and we want the committee to be able to focus on its work, he said in a telephone interview.
The committee will be chaired by Bob McCluskey, a longtime local businessman and a former member of the state House of Representatives and the City Council.
Public comment is likely to be taken during forums that would be organized around important milestones, such as completion of a traffic study, Sherman said.
Critics of the stadium proposal urged the council to send strong voices to the committees meetings to raise issues that concern residents and take forceful stances.
Those living near campus will be severely impacted by the stadium, said longtime city resident Jean Yule.
These are the citizens who will find themselves and their lives most disrupted and marginalized, Yule said. They deserve strong support from our city and from their representatives.

An audit is questioning whether state officials wrongly granted the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital an exemption from a state cost-cutting program in 2011.
The exemption has allowed the pediatric hospital in Minneapolis to collect an extra $3 million in reimbursements over a two-year period from Minnesota state public health insurance programs, according to materials released Wednesday by the state Department of Human Services, or DHS.
At issue is whether Amplatz Children's Hospital is technically a pediatric hospital or part of a larger adult hospital that wasn't eligible for an exemption.
The pediatric medical center is operated by Minneapolis-based Fairview Health Services, which said Wednesday that DHS implemented the rate reduction in September 2011 for in-patient hospital services provided to people in the Medicaid health insurance program. The rate-reduction program exempted children's hospitals, Fairview said in a statement, adding that the department "determined that we met the definition of a children's hospital."
State Rep. Jim Abeler, a Republican from Anoka who was the chief author of legislation that drove the payment cuts, said lawmakers in 2011 intended to exempt Amplatz and three other pediatric medical centers in the Twin Cities from the rate reductions.
"It was our intention to (exclude) the four metro children's hospitals," Abeler said.
In an Oct. 1 report, internal DHS auditor Gary Johnson wrote that the decision to grant Amplatz Children's Hospital the exemption "appears to be contrary to prior policy determinations." The state should receive a formal legal opinion on the matter, Johnson wrote, and possibly extend the chance at a similar exemption to adult hospitals in Duluth and Rochester that also care for pediatric patients.
"The issue is complicated by the lack of clarity in the statutory definition of what constitutes a children's hospital," Johnson wrote. "The department should change the statute to clearly define the scope of what is meant by children's hospital, so this issue and any similar future issues can be resolved or avoided."
In an Oct. 4 letter to Minnesota legislative auditor James Nobles about the matter, Lucinda Jesson, the DHS commissioner, wrote that "no fraud was found" by the internal audit.
"DHS will take immediate action regarding appropriate exemptions for the 10 percent hospital rate reduction by seeking a legal opinion on the exemption," Jesson wrote. Based on the opinion, the state could "either remove (the hospital's) exempt status and take back any excess amounts paid, or will ask for clarifying language in the statute in the upcoming session."
According to the Oct. 1 audit, Fairview approached state officials after the 2011 legislative session and asked whether its pediatric hospital would be exempt from a cost-cutting program that reduced payment rates by 10 percent. The ultimate decision to exempt the hospital "appears to be handled almost exclusively by Assistant Commissioner (Scott) Leitz," the audit states.
"According to Leitz, there is a 'common sense' definition approach that led him to conclude that Amplatz should be entitled to the exemption," the auditor wrote. Several employees raised concerns that both state law and previous DHS policy would not allow for the Amplatz exemption, according to the auditor's report, which notes that Leitz said he was unaware of the opposition.
In an interview, DHS Deputy Commissioner Chuck Johnson said Leitz exercised judgment in responding to Fairview, and the department now is seeking a legal opinion on the issue. The sequence of events "doesn't beg the question" of whether there could be disciplinary action, Johnson said.

Tactical Ripstop Pant - Dickies
Dickies Tactical Ripstop pant, engineered to work as hard as the officers who...
A just sentenced a Detroit teenager to at least 53 years for carjacking an off-duty Windsor police officer last year, the Detroit Free Press reports.
David Laston was convicted last month of shooting officer Thomas Rettig outside a southwest Detroit auto parts store.
Laston fired through the driver's side window at Rettig; the bullet went through the officer's shoulder and just missed his heart. He remains on limited duty.
Rettig was unable to identify Laston, but he was caught because as he fled the scene, he slipped and regained his balance by putting his hand on the hood of a car. Investigators were able to track him down through the fingerprints and palm prints he left on the vehicle.

What a big secret for me.
I can keep it.
I am everybody's trustworthy friend.
Sometimes I feel I am the dumping ground-
a place for secrets people just can't keep.
I hear all the gossip.
I never tell anyone.
I'm the quiet girl in the corner, but I know all about you.
I know you like you are my best friend.
I know about your 13-year-old bipolar sister.
I know about your alcoholic dad
and stressed-out abusive mom.
I could ruin your life.
I know you're gay,
I know you do drugs
I could ruin your life,
but I don't.
I am everbody's trustworthy friend.

Nume:Barbie Fairytopia
Durata: 70 Min.
Limba: Romana
Produs in: 2005
Descriere in Romana : Cu Barbie in rolul Elinei! La capatul curcubeului, in Fairytopia, traieste Elina, o minunata zana a florilor, care isi doreste cu disperare sa aiba aripi.
Casa ei este o floare din Poiana Magica, unde traieste alaturi de Bibble, o bila de puf tafnoasa, dar foarte simpatica.
Intr-o zi, Elina se trezeste si vede ca floarea in care locuia e bolnava, iar prietenele ei zane nu pot zbura! Ea isi aduna tot curajul pentru a le ajuta si pleaca intr-o calatorie fantastica pentru a o gasi pe Azura, o Zana Pazitoare care ar putea rezolva problema. Pe drum intalneste oameni care ii vor testa curajul si o vor invata ce inseamna adevarata prietenie. Dar poate o zana fara aripi sa salveze Fairytopia?
Veniti alaturi de Barbie, in rolul Elinei, in primul ei film despre Fairytopia, si descoperiti o lume fermecata, cu zane, flori si experiente incantatoare!
Descriere in Engleza : Following the previous "Fairytopia films", Elina and her puffball friend, Bibble, live in the Magic Meadow, a region in Fairytopia. They receive a visit from Azura, one of the seven guardian fairies of Fairytopia. The Enchantress, ruler of Fairytopia, has instructed the seven guardians to appoint an apprentice each, and Azura wants Elina to be her apprentice. Elina thrilled by the honour, and sets off for the Enchantress' home, Crystal Palace, where she has to go to accept the apprenticeship. Along the way to the Crystal Palace, Elina and Bibble meet a apprentice named Linden and a winged animal (called a Tumby) and make friends.
Elina arrives at the dormitories near the Crystal Palace, where the apprentices are to stay, and meets her fellow apprentices. In particular she gets along with Glee, a fairy who has a female puffball, Dizzle, as a companion who Bibble falls in love with.
The seven apprentices are addressed by the seven guardians, who inform them that one of the main duties of the guardians is to perform the Flight of Spring. During the Flight of Spring, the First Blush of Spring (resembling a pink flower bud), is coaxed open. The First Blush of Spring then releases the First Rainbow of Spring, thereby preventing a bitter cold winter of ten years to befall Fairytopia. The apprentices are to attend classes, given by the various guardians, and learn three techniques for performing the Flight. It becomes evident as the fairies attend classes that Elina is a particularly gifted fairy.
Unknown to Elina, the evil Laverna wishes revenge on the Enchantress and Elina, following her defeat in the previous "Fairytopia" films. She transforms her henchman Max into a decoy to stay at the bog, while Laverna herself approaches Elina and tricks her into performing a Fairy Undoing Spell. Laverna regains her fairy form and flies away. Elina is mortified by her mistake, but when she tries to warn the guardian fairies, they consult the looking glass and see Max in Laverna's place, mistakenly concluding that Laverna is still safely transformed. Even so, as the time to perform the Flight of Spring draws near, security is tightened and the apprentices take turns patrolling at night. The Other Apperntices, excluding Linden and Glee, confront Elina by the accident she made by being tricked by Laverna.
During patrols, another apprentice named Sunburst is injured, and all the guardian fairies fall into comas. The Enchantress herself appears and says that she will personally train the apprentices, since they will have to perform the Dance of Spring while the guardian fairies are comatose.
On the big day, the seven apprentices arrive at the Crystal Palace. They start to perform Flight, during which Elina discovers that Sunburst is actually Laverna in disguise. Knowing that no one will believe her, Elina leaves the ceremony to search for the real Sunburst. She eventually finds the real Sunburst trapped in an underwater bubble, frees her, and together they set off to the Crystal Palace. Confronted by the real Sunburst, Laverna reveals herself and tells the Enchantress that she must abdicate the throne of Fairytopia and step into a spell-proof chamber, or else Laverna will destroy the First Blush of Spring. The Enchantress agrees, but Laverna starts destroying the First Blush of Spring anyway. Elina intercedes but is weakened. The other apprentices perform Luminescence, aiming their beams of light at Elina, who absorbs their power, transforms into a beautiful rainbow fairy and fights back to Laverna.
With Laverna gone, the spell-proof chamber shatters and the Enchantress is restored. Despite the damage on the First Blush, the apprentices manage to coax it to open successfully. At the graduation ceremony, the seven apprentices are applauded for their good work and bravery, and each handed a badge as proof that they've completed the course. Elina has a heartfelt talk with Linden and Glee, before she leaves, and Bibble gets a goodbye hug from Dizzle. Elina and Bibble both set off back to The Magic Meadow to see Dandelion again.

How Alcohol Affects Your Decision-Making Process
A night of heavy drinking can lead to a morning of heavy excuses. One common favorite? "It was the booze."

Capitol Chamber Artists will complete their 44th season this Saturday night with a varied program, with works that range from the romantic era to the 20th century.
These will include Joseph Rheinberger's Six Pieces for Violin and Organ, as well as works by Maurice Durufle and CCA organist Alfred Fedak.
To celebrate John Corigliano's 70th birthday, CCA will be performing his Violin and Piano Sonata of 1963. Corigliano has written of the work, "It was originally entitled Duo, and therefore obviously treats both instruments as co-partners. Virtuosity is of great importance in adding color and energy to the work which is basically an optimistic statement."
On Saturday, the CCA lineup will include organist Fedak, pianist Aniko Szokody, violinist-violist Mary Lou Saetta and flautist Irvin Gilman.
Capitol Chamber Artists will perform Saturday (May 25) at 8 PM at Westminster Presbyterian Church (262 State St., Albany). There will be a preconcert recital at 7 PM. Tickets are $16, $8 students. For more info, call 458-9231.

The holidays are just about over, and I'm happily done with indulging in my mom's food, sugary treats, and booze. Okay, maybe I'll stick with some booze. I HAVE JUBELALES IN MY FRIDGE, GUYS. They aren't going to drink themselves.
Recently I went bonkers and decided that I was going to count my calories- for a few reasons. First, I was just curious. I wondered how many calories I was eating in an average day, and it turns out that I was eating a LOT MORE than I thought I was, even though I was eating pretty reasonably healthy. Secondly, I want to lose some weight. I guess I don't really have to start my sentences with "let me be frank" anymore because most people who know me, or who read this, know that I'm a pretty straightforward person. After I got pregnant, I got pretty fat. I mean, a lot of other shit happened to me when I got pregnant- preeclampsia, bed rest, undiagnosed thyroid issues that have caused problems for years, postpartum depression, pulmonary edema, a leaky valve in my heart caused by excess water retention, MAN THIS SOUNDS PRETTY CRAPPY IF YOU LIST THEM ALL TOGETHER LIKE THAT, HUH? Having a kid nearly killed me, but as much as I'd love to blame my spawn for all my problems in life, having DAILY MILKSHAKES for 9 months probably didn't help my situation much, either. Nor did my daily shuffle to the bodega 2 blocks from my apartment for a fix of Sprite & Twix. Having abandoned my primary vices, booze & cigarettes, I became an eating machine, with a sweet tooth like I'd never had in my pregravid state.
I started my pregnancy at a decidedly non-scrawny 155 pounds (I'm about 5'5") - the results of college binge drinking and lousy eating habits. (Hey! Vegetarians! Bread on top of bread is a bad idea. Put DOWN the wheat gluten.) The day I gave birth I think I tipped the scales at about 245 pounds. HEY GUYS, GUESS WHAT? GAINING NEARLY 100 POUNDS IN 9 MONTHS IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. A good 40 or 50 pounds of that was water weight from the preeclampsia, which was taken care of with medication after I nearly suffocated on my own body fluids (awesome!). The rest was all milkshake. After teaching myself to exercise and forcing myself to stop eating so many goddamn cookies, I've managed to lose all but 5 pounds of that, but my body still feels all out of whack.
The last 3 years have been a huge exercise in trial and error in trying to figure out what was wrong with my body and then trying to fix it. I've learned to treat food like medicine, and so when I occasionally indulge in something I know I shouldn't be eating, it does feel a little like a crack binge, to be perfectly honest. Which is to say, TOTALLY AWESOME FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, and then totally shitty for the next few days. I mean, that's what I assume a crack binge is like. I swear I don't smoke crack, don't listen to what my sister says- she has no idea what she's talking about.
Anyway, I guess what I wanted to say was, here's to a new year- a new decade. I've made huge lifestyle changes over the last 3 years, and this next year won't be any different. I have PLANS, guys. I just want to take care of myself.
AND HEY WAIT- before you get all butthurt and start asking yourself shit like, "Oh crap, if *I* want to be healthy, does that mean I don't get to eat fried sausage on toast for dinner? Because that looks pretty good!" Consider the following: This awesome pork sausage fried in bacon fat tops the scales at about 310 calories- that's adding in the minute amount of bacon fat that probably got absorbed by the sausage. The bread, a piece of dry whole wheat toast, was like 90 calories. The beans were drizzled lightly with olive oil and roasted in the oven for a little while, probably a total of 30 calories, tops. So this dinner was a pretty respectable 430 calories, dudes. Don't get all weird about the fat, either- bacon fat, while being made up of about 40% eeeee-vil saturated fat (which, according to some sources, isn't all that evil after all) is also about 60% monounsaturated fat. THAT IS THE HEALTHY STUFF IN OLIVE OIL, GUYS. That means that more than half the fat in bacon grease is "healthy" fat. So get over it. Drop a teaspoon of bacon fat into your pan and fry some sausage. Just don't eat like 5 of them and you'll be all set. BUT WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW? I'm just some jerkoff who writes a food blog. If you're really interested in what you're eating, start doing some reading. Read labels on your food, read books about good health. Learn to view dietary fat as an ally and not an enemy. Cut your portion sizes. Get up off your ass and move around. Don't use synthetic oils or fake butter or any kind of "replacement." Lay off the damn sugar.
Have a good night.
(And hey, dudes roasted green beans are awesome. Next time I'm gonna leave them under the broiler until they start to crisp a little more.)

That looks delish!
I really have to stop eating so much sugar too. It's just not healthy. I've pretty recently found out I have hyperthyroid. It's making my eyes bulgy!
Good luck with the healthy eating this year! : )

Portion size is so much more important than "reduced fat" this and "diet" that. I was eating too much bread and sugar, so now I let myself eat pretty much all the fruits and veggies I want, but pay attention to getting enough vegetarian protein (stupid anemia) and limiting bread-wrapped bread on bread. I'm much less prone to rabidly cranky sugar crashes now.
So hooray for you!

It is all about portion size; then you don't feel like you missed out on something. Also more calories out than in. Move, even if it is to park farther away.

You are so awesome. Even more awesome now that I know you are the same fat as me - same start, same pregancy gain, same inability to get back to start, and same conclusion that sugar=drugs. Seriously, thank you. {Happy New Year!}

Taking care of one's body after filling it with booze and crap for years has been totally empowering for me.
Loving good food doesn't have to lead to overeating. Settling into healthy routines that keep you satisfied and active have been the most effective way to maintain good health and body I feel good about.
you go girl.

here's to your health!
so... there's a lot of diet books out there. a lot of them are pretty crappy, and a lot of them assume "health" can only be attached to losing weight. I don't think weight is the magic way to know if someone is healthy (i.e, if you are 120 & 5'4 theoretically you're "healthy" but if you eat crap and don't exercise your weight won't tell me that...and "watching my wieght" is not the best motivator for me anyway. i'd rather go with energy levels or resisting sickness)
basically this is a roundabout way of asking if you could suggest a couple of books to start readin' up on health and food?

Green beans = awesome, under pretty much any circumstance.
I've been eating GF and noticed that gluten makes me crave any type of food like crazy. Not really sure where I'm going with that.

Yep, Alicia - you're right - portion size and moving your bod are the key. I made the resolution to get back to peak shape last new years, and am now sittin' 50lbs lighter, and biking 25mi/day to work and back when it's not shittastic Chicago winter. AND, I eat homeade coconut milk ice cream nearly every night. It's about prioritizing those calories, yo. I use dailyburn.com (which has a free membership, but the $5/yr is totally worth it) to track all my food, and it's pretty good - the food database is user generated, so you can add all your local stuff to it, and create your own recipes, and I find perhaps a little too much pleasure in getting the nutritional info on all the recipes for my blog and putting them in the system with the picture of my food. I love a good organizational system. :)

I love your blog and your honesty. Have you read In Defense of Food? I like the three basic rules - Eat real food, not too much, mostly vegetables. I'm learning to eat that way more often, and I can feel a difference. Also, learning to get creative with veggies is a fun challenge to someone like me who has always viewed them as an afterthought.

it is that simple. it really is. less refined crap, more real food. smaller (but still satisfying!) portions. I gained about 50 lbs with my first and when he was 1 I decided to lose it and I loved the book Real Food by Nina Planck. I liked it much more than any Pollan book, she keeps it realistic and it's easy to read.
I am very anti low fat and pro REAL fat- bacon grease, butter, coconut and olive oil. I use them for just about everything (minus some baking) and swear that since I started this and switched to local, unhomgeonized whole milk and full fat everything (probably smaller portions of it, but not much!) I have lost weight by that alone. Those synthetic fillers they add to food that is processed and low fat make us fat!
after I finish these dark chocolate covered cherries from trader joes i vow to get on the low sugar bandwagon too. and gain no more than 40 lbs this pregnancy :) i hope.
hey, hows the coconut oil thing going?

Good luck on the change. For me (and for successful lifestyle changers I know) it boiled down to tracking what you eat. Becoming aware of portion sizes, tracking calories(/points), etc.
I too found that I was able to eat dessert nearly every night when I was losing 35 pounds. It's is all about choices and making eating a conscious activity (and not the unconscious shovelling I have done in the past).

Suspects Sought in Connection to Child Protective Services Impersonator
Posted: December 5th, 2012
VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN and FAMILIES
Waterbury, VT –Today, December 4, 2012, Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the Vermont State Police (VSP) discussed growing concerns about a series of suspicious incidents that have transpired related to suspects impersonating DCF employees. The most recent incident occurring on December 3 in Sunderland.
On October 29, the Vermont State Police received a report from the St. Johnsbury area in which a Caucasian female came to a residence at the Mountain View Apartments saying she was a DCF worker and was investigating a report of child abuse. The female suspect was granted access to the home; she inspected the child and left the premises without further incident. The female suspect was seen operating silver sedan, unknown make, model, or registration.
On December 1, the Lyndonville Police Department received a report in Lyndonville on Valley Lane that three woman (one African American and two Caucasian) came to the home claiming to be from "Human Services" (or "Home Health") and said they were "following up on a report that was made up the road". The male resident said the suspects inquired after the female resident, who was not home. When the female resident was not home, they left the premises without further incident. They failed to show any identification and never exited their vehicle, which was described as a dark blue Ford Escape with New York plates.
Most recently, on December 3, the Vermont State Police received a report in Sunderland that three people (one female and two males) showed up at a residence on Phyller Dee Lane. The suspects advised the grandmother that the child's parents were under investigation by "child protection services". The suspects asked to search the residence and actually picked up the child for inspection. When the grandmother resisted their advances, the suspects insinuated that they may be back to take the child into custody and the child could go into foster care. The suspects then became nervous and left in two vehicles, one grey sedan and one maroon sedan, bearing unknown plates.
These incidents are under investigation by detectives with the VSP Bureau of Criminal Investigation. If anyone has information related to these incidents or suspects, please call the Vermont State Police at the St. Johnsbury Barracks (802-748-3111) or the Shaftsbury Barracks (802-442-5421). To submit an anonymous tip, send a text to "CRIMES" (274637) with keyword: VTIPS; or submit your anonymous tip online at www.vtips.info.
Investigators, in conjunctions with DCF, want families to be aware of the follow safety precautions:
When more information becomes available, an update will be issued. The original press releases for the October incident is included below.

|The bacterial content of breast milk after the early initiation of expression using a standard technique.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6694039 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|This study was initiated to evaluate the effect of early expression on the bacterial colony count of human milk. Significant bacterial contamination (greater than or equal to 10,000 colony-forming units/ml milk) was more common in 11 mothers who delayed the onset of expression of their milk compared with mothers who began to express their milk in the immediate postpartum period (n = 15) or who began to nurse their own full-term infants soon after delivery (n = 9). These data suggest that mothers who are separated from their prematurely born or sick infants should begin to express milk for their own infants as soon after birth as possible to provide milk with low bacterial contamination for frozen storage and later use.

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Buffalo Sabres' playoff push will get a boost Saturday night when defenseman Andrej Sekera returns to the lineup against the Florida Panthers.
Sekera missed the last five games after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
"I'm back healthy again and I'm ready to go," Sekara said after Buffalo's morning skate. "Every single time you come back from an injury or whatever, you are excited and you want to win some hockey games here with the guys. That's our focus."
Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said Sekera was playing at a high level before he was sidelined.
"Before he got sick, he might have been our top defenseman," Ruff said. "He was playing against all the top lines. You look at his ability to hang on to the puck and get up ice and defend against the top personnel, I mean, his skating for a defenseman is at an elite level."
Sekera last played March 5 at Winnipeg. He said he experienced flu-like symptoms, but went for further testing after three days when he wasn't getting any better.
"I figured it might be something different because I had the bug before but it wasn't that bad," Sekera said. "So I called the doctor and did some more tests and they said I had pneumonia. They said it was in the early stage of it and it was in only one of my lungs so far, so I got my antibiotics and as long as the fever is not coming back, I feel pretty good."
The sixth-year NHL veteran said he wasn't concerned about stamina in his return to action.
"If I wasn't ready, I wouldn't be playing," said Sekera, who will replace Brayden McNabb in the lineup. "I feel like I'm ready and I'm playing."
While Sekera will be back, forward Nathan Gerbe will miss a second consecutive game because of an upper-body injury. Ruff said Gerbe, who was injured in a 3-2 overtime victory Monday over Montreal, is day-to-day.
Buffalo also will be without defenseman Tyler Myers, who will be serving the second game of a three-game suspension for boarding Montreal forward Scott Gomez on Monday night.
Here is the Sabres' projected lineup for Saturday:
Marcus Foligno - Tyler Ennis - Drew Stafford
Corey Tropp - Derek Roy - Jason Pominville
Thomas Vanek - Cody Hodgson - Ville Leino
Cody McCormick - Brad Boyes - Patrick Kaleta
Christian Ehrhoff - Alexander Sulzer
Robyn Regehr - Andrej Sekera
Jordan Leopold - Mike Weber

Priority 5:
Promoting vocational, leisure and recreational activities that provide opportunities for children and young people to experience success and make a positive contribution
Key win
Increasing the percentage of young people in education, employment or training.
The experiences of children and young people as they grow up have a significant impact on the adults they become and their life chances. As a Children's Trust, we recognise the value of positive, enjoyable activities in helping them fulfil their potential, by developing confidence and experiencing success. Young people can, and do, play an active role in local communities, bringing enthusiasm and new ideas to a range of activities, including supporting neighbours, teaching sports and raising money for charity. We will work together to provide and/or promote opportunities for children and young people to play, be active and volunteer. At a county and local level, we will raise awareness of the positive contribution young people make.
We will continue to look for more effective ways to engage children and young people in developing services, seeking their feedback and using this constructively so that they can see how they have made a difference.
By targeting youth support services to those in need, we will help the young people who find it difficult to stay in education to get a place on a training course, or get a job. In particular this includes young people who are leaving care, teenage parents or those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Through the involvement of schools and colleges in the Children's Trust, we will continue to improve the quality of careers advice and the range of courses on offer once young people leave school, ready for the raising of the participation age (the age at which young people legally have to stay in education).
Key activity areas:
- providing targeted youth support, focused on defined groups of young people most in need (in order to increase the proportion of young people in education, employment or training)
- developing the range of local activities provided by the voluntary and community sectors including access to the Duke of Edinburgh Award
- providing high-quality careers education, advice and guidance in schools
- supporting care leavers in the transition to adulthood and independence
- preventing young people entering the Youth Justice System, or reoffending
- promoting the positive contribution made by children and young people
- helping young people access opportunities that give them a role in the community, e.g. volunteering and youth councils, and promoting rights, respect and responsibilities
- promoting voice and participation for all children and young people, including those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities
- providing positive activities for children and young people with disabilities, that give families a short break
- ensure that young carers receive 'time out' from their caring duties to take part in recreational and fun activities
- promoting play including sport, outdoor activities and music
- building resilience and personal confidence
- improving access to services for vulnerable children and young people living in rural areas.
How this has improved since 2009
Young offenders
The rate of first-time offending in Hampshire has fallen significantly since 2009. The number of first-time offenders aged 10–17 reduced by almost 40%, from 1,340 per 100,000 young people in 2008/09 to 825 in 2010/11. Youth Crime Prevention Teams (formerly known as Youth Inclusion Support Panels) are now based within local Children's Services teams, offering a range of preventative activities including arts, sports and environmental projects, targeted to those at risk of becoming offenders.
The number of young people receiving a custodial sentence fell from 79 in 2009/10 to 50 in 2010/11. As this group of young people are at the highest risk of re-offending, Hampshire is part of the Wessex Resettlement Consortium, which provides enhanced support to all young people leaving the secure estate following a custodial sentence. The proportion of young people who re-offend within 12 months was 34.6% in December 2010, a fall of 3.5% from the previous year.
From April 2012, Hampshire has its own Youth Offending Team (YOT), following the decision to disaggregate from the Wessex YOT.
Apprenticeships and internships
Hampshire County Council launched an apprenticeship scheme in 2009, with 20 young people aged 16–24, based in a variety of departments, working towards an NVQ Level 2. Since then 53 young people have completed an apprenticeship. One of the first apprentices achieved national recognition as National Apprentice Ambassador 2010 and now works part-time for the County Council as a Children and Family Support Worker.
The latest scheme, Internships Plus, aims to provide work and training opportunities for care leavers. Launched in summer 2011, 19 young care leavers are currently working in within the County Council and training for an NVQ Level 2 in customer care.
Children in Care Pledge
Significant progress was demonstrated against the first Pledge for children in care, which has recently been revised by our Care Ambassadors.
Children and young people in care wanted:
Achievements included:
Extra tuition
Individual budget
Care Council
Consistent adult
Better placement choice
Peer mentors
Rights, Respect and Responsibilities
Hampshire's innovative Rights, Respect and Responsibilities programme has been in place in the county's schools for several years. Based on the UNCRC, it aims to help children become responsible citizens, achieve their potential and increase understanding of their rights and also their responsibility to respect the rights of others. International research has praised the initiative, concluding that the County Council can be considered a global leader in its promotion and support of schools that provide education consistent with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (Children's Rights Centre, Cape Breton University, Canada). Their research showed a positive impact on children's interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, engagement with school and aspirations. Schools participating in the programme report that: lessons have become more creative, children find it easier to express their ideas and demonstrate empathy, children feel they have a real voice in the school, and there are fewer incidents of inappropriate behaviour.
Why this is still a priority
16-18 year olds not in education, employment or training
While the percentage of young people not in education, employment or training (known as NEET) has reduced from a peak of 6.3% during the recession (figures for 2008/09), this remains an area of focus. Data for 2010 shows that 5.2% of 16–18 year olds were NEET.
Care leavers in education, employment or training
Increasing the numbers of care leavers in education, employment or training has proved challenging during a period of recession. Care leavers have been targeted for one-to-one support and dedicated programmes (such as Internships Plus). The percentage of care leavers in education, employment or training has fallen from 64.1% in 2008/09 to 43.0% in 2010/11.
Changes in Youth Support Services and careers information, advice and guidance
Hampshire's Youth Support Services are currently being redesigned in order to meet funding challenges and evolving national policies. Responsibility for careers advice and guidance will transfer to schools in September 2012.
At a local level, voluntary and independent providers have been commissioned to deliver youth support, based on an assessment of needs completed by Local Children's Partnerships.

C Dsus2 Fmaj7
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
C Dsus2 Fmaj7
With hotel rooms and TV's booming loud every night and day
C Dsus2 Fmaj7
And all I have to do is just be careful what I say
C Dsus2 Fmaj7
And do and what I put us through
Dsus2 Fmaj7 C
Colorado, lines were down, Des Moines's an underwater town
Dsus2 Fmaj7 C
Don't know what it is, I thought I'd find out here
Dsus2 Fmaj7 C
It's moving forward as it must, 95 and blowing dust
Dsus2 Fmaj7 C Dsus2
Sitting here and missing us, it couldn't be more clear
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe
With dreams and postponements along the way
Conditioned by the outstretched miles and high desert air
Thinking I might find you there
Holding you in my dreams
Ricocheting back and forth between my two extremes
Of light and dark and all the in betweens
All of us know too well exactly what that means
Will you still be here waiting for me here in Santa Fe?
With arms and obligations and tears along the way
And all I have to do is revel in here everyday
C Dsus2 Fmaj7
Then do it again tomorrow,
C Dsus2 Fmaj7
do it again tomorrow
C Dsus2 Fmaj7 C
Do it again tomorrow in some other place

A top London cop who is so good at his job that he makes his fellow officers look like slackers by comparison is "promoted" to serve in the sleepy village of Sandford in this contemporary action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Police constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) always gets his man, but these days his impeccable record seems to be more indicative of his fellow officers' shortcomings than his own formidable skills as a keeper of the peace. Loathe to stand idly by as their once respectable track record is steadily soiled by the hyper-competent actions of one lone overachiever, Sergeant Angel's superiors at the Met soon determine to remedy their problem by relocating the decorated constable to the West Country village of Sanford -- where tranquil garden parties and neighborhood watch meetings stand in stark contrast to the violent crime and heated gunplay of the city. As Sergeant Angel does his best to adjust to the relative calm of his new environment, his oafish new partner Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) strives to gain the respect of his fellow constables while sustaining himself on fantasies of his favorite action films and police shows. Later, just as it begins to appear as if Sergeant Angel has been relegated to an uneventful existence in the relative calm of the countryside, a series of horrific "accidents" lead him to suspect that the tranquil hamlet of Sanford has fallen prey to a sinister plot which reeks of foul play. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Steve Coogan, and Martin Freeman co-star in the Edgar Wright film. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Apple said ordering 12 petabytes of iTunes cloud storage
updated 01:00 pm EDT, Wed April 6, 2011
Apple said getting 12PB of Isilon cloud storage
An insider at Isilon Systems claimed Wednesday that Apple had made an unusually large request for cloud storage systems. The company has reportedly bought 12 petabytes of space for the sake of video downloads on iTunes. Storage Newsletter's contact believed the move would be enough to make Apple the biggest Isilon customer, eclipsing video-heavy sites like DailyMotion and NBC.
A decision to tap Isilion would line up with Apple's plans to use its North Carolina data center for iTunes in the spring if the systems were stored in-house. The capacity is well in excess of what Apple would need just for basic iTunes library storage, though. At 4GB for a typical two-hour 720p movie, Apple could hold 3,145,728 movies.
The space may instead be for the rumored MobileMe media locker, for which iTunes would play a part. About 12PB of space could give millions of users enough space to upload some of their own content and access it from anywhere they have a broadband Internet connection. Apple has given clues that MobileMe might become cheaper or even free as a bid to compete with Google and preempt the search engine's own music service as well as Android's existing online sync.

Selling our bike after a wicked time coming across from Vietnam.
This bike is much more comfortable than a win, and has had plenty of space for me (6'4") and my girlfriend (who learnt to ride on this bike) to travel on, along with ample power to get your up the hills, or along the roughest roads.
The Bike has Vietnam plates and ownership card so no worries crossing borders back to Vietnam or Lao, and have had no trouble riding a Vietnamese bike in Cambodia and absolutely no questions crossing the border.
Nice bike for two people, have kitted it out with racks for two bags (one each side) and also has a massive rack on the back so you are good to go no matter how many souvineers you have collected along the way.
Tyres are great, last owner had them replaced, and have not even had a puncture..
Had the seat redone when we bought it so has more padding and new cover, helps save your arse on long days.
We had the top end rebuilt when we bought it as had heard of these bikes having trouble, but has been riding sweet for the last 1500km and counting...
Had a new carb along the way, but other then that just been changing the oil and riding.
Will be in Siem Reap on the 13th September, so get in touch for a test ride, otherwise we may carry on to Sisophon or Battambang.

Manhattan Apartment Rents Approach Peak as Leasing Demand Surges
By Oshrat Carmiel
Bloomberg News
April 12, 2012
Manhattan apartment rents surged in the first quarter, coming within about 5 percent of the peak as would-be homeowners struggled to get mortgages and lingered longer in the leasing market.
The median rent rose 7.1 percent to $3,100 a month from $2,895 in the first quarter of 2011, according to a report today by appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and broker Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate. It was the largest year-over-year increase since the second quarter of 2007, when rents climbed 11 percent. The number of new leases in the three months through March jumped 14 percent to 7,621.
Youre not having a natural transition from rent to purchase, Jonathan Miller, president of New York-based Miller Samuel, said in an interview. If credit was rational instead of irrational, at this point wed see the rental market not climbing at the pace we see now as some of the excess demand would find its way toward the purchase market.
Stricter mortgage-lending standards and weak consumer confidence are limiting home purchases and driving demand for rentals. Sales of Manhattan co-ops and condominiums declined 3.5 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier to 2,311 deals, Miller Samuel and Prudential said on April 3. Prices fell 0.9 percent to a median of $775,000.
The peak median rent was $3,265 at the end of 2006, according to Miller. Adjusted for inflation, that number is $4,113, or 25 percent higher than the first quarters median, he said. That leaves room for rates to continue to climb in the face of surging demand, Miller said.
Partys Not Over
I dont think the partys over anytime soon, he said. Is credit going to ease over the next year or two? Doubtful. Is employment going to ramp up significantly over the next two years? Unlikely.
New York Citys jobless rate climbed to 10.2 percent in February, the highest in two years, according to James Brown, principal economist at the states Department of Labor. That month, 19,700 residents found employment, while 9,500 were unable to do so.
New apartment leases in the quarter swelled in almost every size and price range. Contracts to rent three-bedroom units jumped 21 percent, while studio deals climbed 16 percent. The increase was 15 percent for two-bedroom leases and 14 percent for one-bedrooms, according to the report. Agreements for four- bedroom properties declined 22 percent.
Cutting Concessions
The jump in demand meant landlords were able to push price increases while limiting tenant concessions. In the first quarter, 11 percent of new lease agreements included sweeteners such as a months free rent or payment of a broker fee, according to Miller Samuel and Prudential. A year earlier, 37 percent of new deals offered such incentives.
The median effective rent, or what tenants paid after incentives are included, was $3,064, up 9.1 percent from the first quarter of 2011.
Citi Habitats, which also released a report on the Manhattan apartment market today, said average rents hit a record high of $3,418 in March. The previous peak was $3,394 in May 2007, according to Gary Malin, president of the New York brokerage. Neither figure is adjusted for inflation, he said.
Its a slow and gradual price appreciation at this point, Malin said. I dont see a meteoric rise anymore. There comes a threshold at which tenants balk and say, I just cant afford it.
Hairstyling Discount
Joshua Barbieri hit his own record high in March, when he agreed to pay $2,050 for a one-bedroom walk-up in the East Village. Barbieri, 41, who began searching for a new place after a breakup with his fiancee, said that was the best deal he could find for a clean and fashionable apartment that was close to Tompkins Square Park and within walking distance of the hair salon he owns and operates on East 18th Street.
Barbieri had to pay a brokers fee of 15 percent of his annual rent to the Citi Habitats agent who found him the place. While the landlord didnt offer a free month, he agreed to knock $50 off the asking rent in exchange for a monthly haircut, said Barbieri, who accepted the deal.
As long as I dont mess up, that relationship with the landlord is going to be pretty strong, Barbieri said. He probably wont bump up the rent $300. Im sure hell keep it comfortable at a nice price.
Manhattans apartment vacancy rate in the first quarter was 1.22 percent, up from 1.08 percent a year earlier, according to Citi Habitats.
Nationwide, apartment vacancies dropped to 4.9 percent, their lowest level since 2001, as home seizures and a growing pool of young adults forming households boosted rental demand, Reis Inc. (REIS) said in an April 4 report.
Across Manhattan, rents at buildings with doormen started at an average of $2,510 a month for studios and were as high as $7,105 for three-bedroom units, Citi Habitats said. Studios in buildings without elevators rented at an average of $1,955, while one-bedrooms in those properties leased for an average of $2,561.
