Joseph Kaplan
this wiki
- "Alright, alright already. Brett was just trying to be friendly."
- ―Joseph Kaplan.
Joseph Kaplan is a 33-year old Czech immigrant living in Hove Beach, Broker, Liberty City. He is a known associate of Mikhail Faustin and other Russian criminals in the area. Although he has only one conviction (in 2003 for sexual assault) he is suspected by police of running a prostitution ring in a Hove Beach Sex Shop and also making low budget pornographic movies in its basement. Several young women have filed reports against Kaplan, including prostitute Marnie Allen, claiming that they were conned into appearing in his films. He was voiced by Jim Norton.
Kaplan is seen in the mission Do You Have Protection? in which Niko Bellic shoots his employee Brett as a warning for not paying Faustin a cut of his profits from the movies he makes and he is knocked out cold with a hit to the head with a gun by Dimitri Rascalov. The player can then kill the unconscious Kaplan if they choose.

49 U.S. Code § 5333 - Labor standards
prev | next
(a) Prevailing Wages Requirement.— The Secretary of Transportation shall ensure that laborers and mechanics employed by contractors and subcontractors in construction work financed with a grant or loan under this chapter be paid wages not less than those prevailing on similar construction in the locality, as determined by the Secretary of Labor under sections 3141 through 3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40. The Secretary of Transportation may approve a grant or loan only after being assured that required labor standards will be maintained on the construction work. For a labor standard under this subsection, the Secretary of Labor has the same duties and powers stated in Reorganization Plan No. 14 of 1950 (eff. May 24, 1950, 64 Stat. 1267) and section 3145 of title 40.
(b) Employee Protective Arrangements.—
(1) As a condition of financial assistance under sections 5307–5312, 5316, [1] 5318, 5323 (a)(1), 5323 (b), 5323 (d), 5328, [1] 5337, and 5338 (b) of this title, the interests of employees affected by the assistance shall be protected under arrangements the Secretary of Labor concludes are fair and equitable. The agreement granting the assistance under sections 5307–5312, 5316, [1] 5318, 5323 (a)(1), 5323 (b), 5323 (d), 5328, [1] 5337, and 5338 (b) shall specify the arrangements.
(2) Arrangements under this subsection shall include provisions that may be necessary for—
(A) the preservation of rights, privileges, and benefits (including continuation of pension rights and benefits) under existing collective bargaining agreements or otherwise;
(C) the protection of individual employees against a worsening of their positions related to employment;
(E) assurances of priority of reemployment of employees whose employment is ended or who are laid off; and
(3) Arrangements under this subsection shall provide benefits at least equal to benefits established under section 11326 of this title.
(4) Fair and equitable arrangements to protect the interests of employees utilized by the Secretary of Labor for assistance to purchase like-kind equipment or facilities, and grant amendments which do not materially revise or amend existing assistance agreements, shall be certified without referral.
(5) When the Secretary is called upon to issue fair and equitable determinations involving assurances of employment when one private transit bus service contractor replaces another through competitive bidding, such decisions shall be based on the principles set forth in the Department of Labor's decision of September 21, 1994, as clarified by the supplemental ruling of November 7, 1994, with respect to grant NV–90–X021. This paragraph shall not serve as a basis for objections under section 215.3(d) of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations.

The government has refused to give electricity subsidies to ordinary people in Kagera region to enable them access power and reduce costs of living, the Parliament was told yesterday.
Responding to a question by Conchesta Rwamlaza, Special Seats Member of Parliament (Chadema) who had wanted the government to introduce power subsidies, the Deputy Minister for Energy and Minerals, George Simbachawene, said for now that wouldn't be granted by the government.
He told the House that Tanzania has been purchasing power from different sources at a very high cost compared to other East African countries, therefore granting such relief wasn't possible.
Simbachawene said one unit of electricity in the country was being sold at 144/-, in Kenya at 192/- and in Uganda 240/-.
The Deputy Minister said in 1993, the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) entered into an electricity selling contract with the Uganda Electric Board in which a prices of USD 8 cents per unit was agreed.
He informed the House that between August 2004 and March 2009 the price went down to USD 6.5 cents per unit, but since 2009, the average price of unit of electricity has been increasing quarterly.
He said the increase was due to long time drought which compelled the Ugandan power company to use fuel in generating power, instead of water. Ugandan power regulator ordered the company to hike the price for its customers, including Tanesco.
Simbachawene said in 2009, the average selling price of electricity from Uganda was USD 9.6 cents per unit, equivalent to 128/-, while Tanesco was selling the same unit to Kagera customers at 112/- per unit.
He said in 2010, the average buying price of electricity from Uganda shoot up to USD cents 13.8 cents per unit, equivalent to 200/- per unit, while Tanesco was selling the same unit at 112/- only.
Simbachawene said last year, the average buying price of electricity from Uganda went up to USD cents 15.9 per unit, equivalent to 253/-, while Tanesco was selling the same unit at 141/-.
He said in this year the buying price in unit of electricity decreased to USD 12.3 cents per unit, equivalent to 199/-, and Tanesco was selling the same unit at USD 12.24 cents, equivalent to 198/- .
The trend shows that for the past four years Tanesco has been purchasing power from Uganda at a higher price and selling to its Kagera customers at a lower price, therefore, he said suggesting subsidies would increase the burden on the part of the government and Tanesco.
However, he promised that the government, through his office, would work on the suggestion to study it and give a responsible as soon as practical.

Two people in a SUV pulled up alongside another vehicle at a Pueblo convenience store Thursday night and opened fire.
At least five shots whizzed around the driver in the second vehicle, none hitting its intended target.
Police are now trying to figure out if the incident was random, or if it is connected to a fight earlier in the day.
When officers arrived at the Loaf N Jog on Northern and Acero, they found the 21-year-old victim suffering from several injuries, but none from gunshots. Police believe the swelling in the victim's face and various cuts were from an altercation a few hours before the drive-by. The driver side window on the victim's car also had a big hole in it, as if someone bashed it in. Police also believe that was from before the shooting.
Police found five bullet shell casings at the scene, and multiple bullet holes in the passenger side window of the victim's car.
Officers are currently looking for the suspects. There is no description available at this time, other than the suspects were riding in a white SUV.
Anyone with information is asked to call Pueblo police.

A Drop in the Ocean
this wiki
- "In these days of moral hypocrisy, certain valuable commodities can be hard to import."
- ―Donald Love.
A Drop in the Ocean is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by media tycoon and businessman Donald Love from the Love Media building in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Claude goes to Donald Love's place looking for more work. A Dodo plane is dropping a few packages on the sea and Love wants him to pick them up before anyone else does. After being informed about the plane, Claude gets a car and drives to a boat. He follows the plane, and later on, the plane starts to drop packages. Claude collects all six, and then makes his way back to Love Media, all while avoiding the gained attention from the police, to give the packages to Donald.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get a boat and follow the plane
- The plane has dropped 1 of 6 packages
- The plane has dropped 2 of 6 packages
- The plane has dropped 3 of 6 packages
- The plane has dropped 4 of 6 packages
- The plane has dropped 5 of 6 packages
- The plane has dropped 6 of 6 packages
- You have all the packages! Take them back to Donald Love
The reward for this mission is $10,000. The missions Grand Theft Aero, Marked Man and Uzi Money are unlocked. The player can now access Shoreside Vale, following the completion of the Shoreside Lift Bridge and the whole of the Porter Tunnel.
- If the player does not pickup the packages in time, then the police will get in their Predator boats (only the police use of a Predator in the entire game) and seize the packages, causing the mission to fail.
- Picking up each of the first five packages will earn the player one star on the wanted level. The player must drive to the Pay 'n' Spray to eliminate the wanted level before delivering the packages.

- "The Draught of Living Death brings upon its drinker a very powerful sleep that can last indefinitely. This draught is very dangerous if not used with caution...This is an extremely dangerous potion. Execute with maximum caution."
- —Libatus Borange's Advanced Potion-Making describing the potion[src]
The Draught of Living Death is an extremely powerful sleeping draught, sending the drinker into a death-like slumber. The potion seemed difficult to concoct, since Hermione Granger, a prodigious potioneer, who managed to concoct the Polyjuice Potion in her second Year, had some difficulty doing it.
Necessary equipment
The textbook in which the recipe was mentioned noted that the following things were needed for the correct composition of this potion:
- Standard size cauldron (presumably pewter)
- 150 fl.oz beaker
- 50 fl.oz. graduated cylinder
- Standard test tube
- 250 fl.oz. measuring cup
- Stirring rod
- Dropper
Cut up the Sophophorus beanCrush. Do not cut!
- Pour in 250 fl.oz. of water and add 5 oz. of African sea salt to the beaker. Set the beaker aside after all the water has been added. Be very careful not to shake or move the beaker now.
- Leave the water and salt to rest for five minutes.
- Slowly pour all the water into the cauldron.
- With your left hand use the graduated cylinder to obtain 40 fl.oz. of essence of wormwood.
- With your right hand hold the cauldron at a slight angle and pour ten drops (20 fl.oz.) of essence of wormwood.
- Now with your left hand hold the cauldron at a slightly different angle and pour another ten drops of wormwood essence.
- Chop three Valerian roots into small squared pieces. After cutting place it in a beaker with water. Leave it to settle for five minutes. Your potion should now be resembling a smoot blackcurrant-coloured liquid.
- Carefully pour the Sophophorus bean's juice into the cauldron
- Add seven drops of the reduced liquid from the beaker; make sure there are no traces or fragments of Valerian root.
- Stir the potion ten times clockwise; your potion should now be turning a light shade of lilac.
- With your right hand stir the potion anti-clockwise until the potion turns as clear was water; every stir should take approximately two and a half seconds.
- Slowly pour seven square pieces of Valerian root.
- Stir the potion ten times anti-clockwise.
- Add one hundred and fifty fl.oz. of powdered root of asphodel.
- Hold the cauldron with your right hand; with your left hand gently stir the potion ten times anti-clockwise and eight times clockwise.
- Leave the potion to settle for two and a half minutes.
- Add one small piece of Valerian root.
- Your potion should turn to a pale pink colour; the preparation is now complete.[1]
Severus Snape's notes
- The sophorus bean should be crushed, not cut, to get more juice from it.
- Stir counter-clockwise seven times and clockwise once instead.
Notable examples
The Wiggenweld Potion is capable of reversing the effects of the Draught. The Hag Leticia Somnolens used the Draught in an attempt to kill a princess who made her jealous. A prince who placed Wiggenweld Potion on his lips revived the princess with a kiss.
Behind the scenes
- "I dare to say that one drop would kill us all."
- —Horace Slughorn on Harry Potter's potion.[src]
- This potion is briefly mentioned in first year, though they did not create it until five years later. It was never really used in either case.
- In the first film, it is called "The Draught of the Living Dead".
- In the sixth film, Slughorn tests the potions by placing a leaf into each; when he places it into Harry's, the leaf disintegrates. He also states that it was "so perfect one drop would kill us all"; this was likely an exaggeration because the potion is a sleeping potion not a poison.
- It is most likely the potion used by Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.
- The Valerian root is a natural sedative.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (First mentioned)
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) (Mentioned in deleted scene)
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) (Appears on a Famous Wizard Card)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)

The Panopticon
this wiki
The Panopticon is a logging camp located in north-west Red County, San Andreas. From bloodstains seen in the cabins, it can be observed that safety standards at the camp were lax. The area is relatively open, set in a forest on a hill. San Fierro can be seen from parts of the camp. Many cabins and fallen trees line the area.
- Vortex
- Glendale (Beater)
- Randomly spawning Freeway or Sadler
- Rancher
Events of GTA San Andreas
The mission Wu Zi Mu (a street race) has its endpoint at the Panopticon. The mission Farewell, My Love..., essentially the previous race in reverse, has its start here. Mike Toreno's mission Vertical Bird begins at the base of the hill on which the Panopticon is situated.
Unique jumps
The Panopticon is the location of the game's only cross-region unique stunt jump, a jump from near an intersection on the west side of the Panopticon across a body of water onto the Easter Bay International Airport in San Fierro (although actually landing on the airport is optional; the jump will also be awarded if one falls slightly short and lands in the water). Attempting the jump before San Fierro is unlocked, however, results in a four star wanted level whether the jump is successful or not.
A second, less-risky unique jump can be found on the east side of the Panopticon, near Blueberry.

text: Green Man, in his various forms, has become one of the most iconic full body spandex suit characters in history. The character, people believe, was originally spotted at sporting events. Fans would dress in a full body green spandex suit either to distract the other team, or just to get the fans super excited. In the popular show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the character Charlie becomes Green Man in situations when he feels that he needs additional confidence, or when he needs to hide his identity. Whatever you're using it for, the costume breathes really well and it is see-through from the inside, so you can see out just fine. You don't have to worry about running into things while you're out trying to have a good time.

E-learning Africa (eLA) 2012, the continent's largest conference of high level policy-makers, decision-makers and practitioners from education, business and public sectors will take place in Cotonou, Benin, on May 23-25.
A similar continental conference took place in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, last year and was attended by 1,702 participants. Our staff Writer JUDICA TARIMO interviewed Tanzania Global Learning Agency (TaGLA) interim Executive Director Charles Senkondo on how Tanzania will benefit from the continental conference and its relevance to Africa's future. Excerpts...
QUESTION: What role does Tanzania Global Learning Agency (TaGLA) play in this continental event and what are the benefits to Tanzania?
ANSWER: TaGLA is a member of a Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) and the Association of African Distance Learning Centre (AADLC). It plays a key role in eLA in various capacities including an advisory role in the eLA board, sponsoring the conference through AADLC including scrip review, linking videoconference sessions and an exhibition.
This is an international conference, which provides an opportunity for Tanzanians to explore and get exposure to best available educational technologies and practices in the world and a platform to profile our country worldwide.
TaGLA will provide an opportunity to connect Tanzanians through the videoconference to selected sessions, inspire Tanzanians to access available conference materials online and engage them through the social media like facebook, twitter and TaGLA's website during and after the conference. It is also planned to showcase during the AADLC exhibition and a special presentation during the eLA conference.
Q: How will the participants, who will not be able to travel to Benin but who have registered to participate in the eLA conference, access it?
A: The government has shown interest to host selected sessions through videoconferences similar to the way we did in several pre-conference videoconference sessions linking other countries in real-time in May last year during the eLA conference in Dar es Salaam. TaGLA will facilitate similar sessions for Tanzanians to participate in these selected sessions. Details of these sessions will be made available shortly through eLA and TaGLA's websites.
Q: Last year, Tanzania hosted a similar event (e-learning Africa 2011) and one of the speakers was from the then Tanzania Global Development Learning Centre (TGDLC). Is TaGLA also represented this year?
A: TaGLA was involved in last year's eLA international conference in many ways. TaGLA played a role as a secretariat to the national organising committee and hosted key parallel sessions during the international conference at TaGLA. This year's presentation by TaGLA will be made through a special AADLC/GDLN session.
Theophilus Mlaki, who is ICT consultant and national coordinator of Swedish Programme for ICT for Developing Countries (SPIDER) and chairman of the Board of the Dar es Salaam ICT Incubator supported by the World Bank under the InfoDev Programme, has been an active player in ICT and an advocate of using technologies for development, including what TaGLA is doing.
This year, in addition to Mlaki's key note address, there will be several presentations by Tanzanians and a special session jointly organised by AADLC, where TaGLA will be featured to share experiences on the use of technologies for training and knowledge sharing in Africa and across the world.
Q: What exactly is eLA and how is it utilised?
A: eLA is an electronic learning forum using various types of technology supported learning including radio, television, internet, satellite transmission and the most recent-emerging mobile technologies. It is through such technologies that knowledge can be captured, stored and disseminated efficiently.
Through engagement of ICT tools, Tanzanians are able to capture the vast knowledge existing in villages, towns, colleges and universities in form of documentaries, cultural events, various internet tools disseminated instantly or stored for future use.
The challenge is on the limitation that exists on urban-rural diversity of technological availability and affordability. However, the emergence of mobile, solar and other alternative technologies presents a great opportunity that will see an exponential growth of knowledge accumulation and there after its dissemination using technologies, which further e-learning in Tanzania.
Q: Is e-learning meant to replace conventional learning?
A: It is evident that technology supported learning provides flexibility to choose where to learn from, when to learn and vast choices with ability to focus only on what you actually need to learn. With emerging technologies, a reality is coming that many will prefer technology supported learning due to the advantages brought with it, including low cost, choice from best resources, advantages of peer relations with other learners during learning and many more.
A modern class of today may have technologies linking to learning peers with multiple applications run, the trainer linked to vast resources, bringing real life examples, video and audio capability and real time interaction whenever needed and thus enriching a learning process.
Everyone would like to enjoy this type of learning, a limitation has been the affordability of such technologies everywhere, of which, will drastically reduce the need to sit in a crowded class or lecture room, when affordable innovations are in place. So, it is just a matter of time and the future is very close.
Q: Is an online programme, which e-learning is part of, a credible learning system one may rely on? Has TaGLA facilitated the awarding of or has it awarded any online students in this regard?
A: TaGLA brings in an experience of over 12 years in online learning. Partnership with world leading partners has given a wide range of experiences enriched and polished by the way we have been able to resolve existing local challenges facing learners.
One fact exists, that is technology enables things to be done quite fast and at the desired precision that conventional approaches had never thought of just like in a conventional classroom, technologies bring about better options and solutions that achieve effective engaging learning. New tools and software discovered enable appropriate recognition and support to learners and trainers.
Accreditation bodies work hand in hand with technology providers to harvest opportunities brought about by ICT. It is through awareness and engagement in ongoing changes through which Tanzanians will take advantage of the benefits brought about and overcome lesser weaknesses observed, that are even worse in conventional learning.
We always remind ourselves that, when technologies allow us to do things much fast and safer, criminals also think of using the same technologies to reach the same audiences with the same speed. That is why the government is putting up checks and balances just like having in place institutions like TaGLA to ensure the risks are managed if not eliminated.
Q: There is now a lot of competition in the job market. Can a job applicant with online credentials really be able to compete with the one with similar credentials in the conventional system?
A: The question made is misleading. One would think the credentials obtained through online learning are inferior and I would totally disagree with such a submission. Just like in conventional learning, we have reputable institutions offering reputable credentials and those that leave a lot to be desired.
When we come to e-learning, we have similarly both. Technology makes it easier for reputable as well as other institutions to reach our region and make the speed even faster when our public is not enlightened. It is up to the receiver to ensure there is appropriate recognition of the source and the ultimate content through relevant bodies. Just like in conventional training, we need to ensure we are informed of the choices we make.
Q: What should be done to improve e-learning in Tanzania?
A: It is imperative that we need to work jointly in changing the mindset of our people, that in the modern world, knowledge is gained faster through technologies and everyone needs to be on board.
The government is putting in place supportive infrastructures, regulations and supportive institutions that accelerate e-learning. Friendlier technologies are in place, we are on the right track and we need to take a leading position by taking advantage of benefits brought by technological innovations.
There are also vast opportunities existing in private initiatives like ICT infrastructures, mobile phones, TV and radio stations that can accelerate e-learning through partnerships with content providers. An example is availability of free bandwidth at night, that many learners can utilise to download learning materials and for trainers to make uploads.
Many Tanzanians do use some types of technology to communicate in their daily life, multiple social media exist, that enhance peer communication and it takes an extra step to bring it all to Tanzanians by deploying friendlier technologies.

Editor's Note: This weekly column is sponsored by Georgetown Square Wine and Beer (10400 Old Georgetown Road).
Rosé wine sales in the United States are beginning to increase. After a decade or so of Americans categorizing any pink colored wine with the sweet White Zinfandel variety, the U.S. wine consumer has finally discovered the light, crisp, versatile, and perfectly fruity rosé wine.
What makes rosés pink? A true rosé is not a blend of white and red wine. Instead, like red wine, rosé wine is made from red wine grapes. But instead of leaving the wine in contact with the pressed grape skin to ferment with the juice for an extensive period, rosé producers keep the skins in contact with the juice only briefly. Then the pinkish juice is drained from the skins, resulting in a color ranging from a pale pink to a deep salmon or coral. Winemakers make rosé from the red grape varieties traditionally grown in their particular region that are best suited to the local soil and climate.
Rosés vary widely in color, texture, and flavor. Yet all rosés have some common characteristics: they tend to be bright, fresh, crisp, and dry. The most popular rosé producing region in the world is Provence, France. There, rosé is a part of everyday life, widely embraced as the best lunchtime, seaside, and all-occasion wine. This spirit of Provence lifestyle has started to catch on. Wine makers from around the world are making more rosés than ever before. Amazing dry style rosés are also being made from California to Virginia, and all at an affordable price. With the spring weather hopefully approaching soon, this is a great time to come in and try a dry rosé for any occasion. Here are a few rosés that we are offering below $15.
Chateau Montaud Cotes du Provence Rosé 2012, Provence, France: $11.99
I always appreciate great wine at a fair price and this wine is a perfect example. This rosé has all the great characteristics of a Provence rosé. It is dry, crisp, bright, and fruity and exhibits beautiful floral notes with great acidity on the palate.
Chateau Grande Cassagne Rose 2012, Rhone, France: $10.99
From one of my favorite importers, Robert Kacher is a local D.C. importer that continuously brings in incredible value rosés from France. Grande Cassagne is a perfect example. Readily available at most French bistros throughout our region, this vibrant, neon pink colored rosé expresses slight tannins and delicious fruit.
Pigmentum Malbec Rose 2012, Cahors, France: $14.99
A rare 100% Malbec rosé, this is a great wine to share with friends making the transition from red wine to rosé wine. It has a clear, brilliant pink color with vibrant nuances and an intense red fruit bouquet. It is fruity on the palate with a long, nice finish.
Le Petit Caboche Rose 2012, Rhone, France: $11.99
Our best selling rosé year after year, this full-bodied wine is full of fresh strawberry and raspberry flavors. It has a refreshing acidity with a hint of lemon and a touch of spice on the finish. The grapes used for this great value wine are grown right next to the famed area of Chateauneuf du Pape.
Saintsbury Vincent Vin Gris 2012, Carneros, California: $19.99
While this wine is slightly over $15 dollars, I could not resist adding a great example of a California rosé. Made from 100% Carneros Pinot Noir grapes, this wine matches the delicate style of rosés that are found in the famed region of Burgundy, France. With subtle and complex flavors of stone fruits, wild strawberry, and blood orange, this rosé is the perfect summer wine for any occasion.

Policy regarding Children's Use of Site
We recommend that an adult accompany children when using content on the Site. Michaels will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13.

Implementation of Policy
A user is never required to disclose any personal information to visit the Site. Registration is encouraged so that adults and children 13 years old and older can take full advantage of the Site. Personal information is never collected from users who are not registered. Until registration has been completed, our system does not actually store any personal information.
Michaels does not substantively monitor our public areas except to determine compliance with our Site's policies. We do not require any user to disclose personal information to post in or otherwise use the public areas of the Site. If we obtain actual knowledge that a child under the age of 13 has disclosed personal information in a public area of our Site, we will immediately delete any personally identifying information from the public area and from our system.
Michaels cannot prevent a child under the age of 13 from sending e-mails or posting to the public areas of the Site. However, if Michaels obtains actual knowledge that an e-mail comes from a child under the age of 13, our customer service staff is trained to initiate our internal COPPA compliance process which includes the deletion from our system of all personal information about the child, including the e-mail address.
Michaels may occasionally run contests or sweepstakes. Like our general registration, sweepstakes and contests are not open to children under the age of 13. Any registration for a contest or sweepstakes likewise requests the age of the entrant. If the entrant is less than 13, entry is immediately refused. Whenever the Site requests personal information from a visitor before the visitor can participate in an activity, the visitor is not required to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

Classic signs and symptoms of impetigo involve red sores that quickly rupture, ooze for a few days and then form a yellowish-brown crust. The sores usually occur around the nose and mouth but can be spread to other areas of the body by fingers, clothing and towels.
A less common form of the disorder, called bullous impetigo, may feature larger blisters that occur on the trunk or diaper area of infants and young children.
A more serious form of impetigo, called ecthyma, penetrates deeper into the skin — causing painful fluid- or pus-filled sores that turn into deep ulcers.
If you suspect that you or your child has impetigo, consult your family doctor, your child's pediatrician or a dermatologist.

DJ Bomba Tomba is the co-host of the KGBH radio station in Anywhere City, along with Prodo. He is a heavy drinker, as evidenced by these events he talks about during his broadcast:
- He owns a green Silverado, which he claims was "stolen" outside his house, but in reality, he was just a "little" drunk and didn't remember where he left it.
- He didn't come home to his wife the same night, again because of his drinking; but he says he will make up for it by playing a special song for her, the tape of which was reported to be missing.
- When it was broadcasted that a shipload of vodka sunk into the sea, he invited other viewers to come with him to the dock in wetsuits, leaving Prodo in charge of the station.

Downsizing Blog
Abusing Federal Paid Leave
Compensation for federal civilian employees is more generous than private-sector workers. Federal workers receive better benefits than their non-governmental counterparts in particular, and generous paid leave benefits are one of the federal advantages. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) suggests that federal agencies are abusing this benefit.
Accuracy of Macroeconomic Forecasts
One of my first professional jobs 25 years ago was with the economic forecasting firm DRI/McGraw-Hill. It was fun work, but I noticed that the firm's gross domestic product forecasts with models hundreds of equations long were no better than simple forecasts based on the interest rate yield curve.
Overpaid Federal Employees
With the election only weeks away, pundits are visualizing how a Republican-controlled Senate would impact future policy decisions. Today's Washington Post highlights the supposed plight of federal workers under a Republican Congress.
Department of Homeland Security: Who Needs It?
The Secret Service is scandal prone. It spends excessively on foreign presidential trips, and it has agents who get in trouble with prostitutes and
Failing to Track Highway Spending
The problems with federal highway spending are well documented. The program distorts project incentives and distributes money inefficiently. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) adds to the list of problems, detailing improper fund management within the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Medicaid's Fiscal Pressure
State budgets face numerous long-term pressures, including overpromised and underfunded pensions. Another challenge is Medicaid, the health insurance program for low-income individuals, which is growing rapidly in cost and enrollment.
Centers for Disease Control Spending
In an editorial today, the Wall Street Journal discusses Democratic complaints linking Ebola with supposedly falling spending on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Let's take a look at the data with the Downsizing Government chart tool. Click open Health and Human Services, then click on CDC. Hold your mouse over the line to see the data.
A Review of America's Fiscal Constitution
When politicians write policy books, they are often shallow affairs full of party talking points. Bill White's America's Fiscal Constitution is different. It is an excellent and scholarly book.
The Pension Burden on State Budgets
Cato's "Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors" focuses on short-term tax and spending decisions made by governors. But governors and legislatures also make important decisions that will affect state budgets over the longer term.
Grading America's Governors
This morning, Cato released the 12th edition of the "Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors." The report card uses statistical data to grade the governors on their tax and spending performance from a limited-government perspective. The governors who cut taxes and spending the most receive an "A," while the governors who increase taxes and spending the most receive an "F."

Development Impact Fee Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Below are some frequently asked questions in regards to impact fees.
What is a development impact fee?
A development impact fee, or simply, impact fee, is a charge on new development to pay for the construction or expansion of off-site capital improvements that are necessitated by and benefit the new development. The funds collected can not be used for operations, maintenance, or repair of existing facilities.
When did impact fees first become popular?
Nationally, impact fees first started in Florida and California during the late 1970s. In Arizona, legislation giving municipalities the ability to assess impact fees was first passed in 1988. County impact fees were enabled by legislation in 2000.
When did Peoria first implement impact fees?
Peoria first implemented development impact fees in 1991. The fees were updated in 1999 and have been updated biennially since then.
What impact fee categories does Peoria assess?
Peoria assesses an impact fee in two broad categories: General Government and Utilities. The General Government category is broken down further into the following fees: libraries, neighborhood parks, community parks, trails, open space, law enforcement, fire protection, general government, and transportation (streets and intersections). The Utilities category is broken down further into water expansion, wastewater expansion, water resource, water reuse irrigation and solid waste.
How does Peoria develop impact fees?
To assist staff in developing impact fees, Peoria hires an outside consultant to formulate legally defensible impact fees. Peoria undergoes two impact fee studies, one for General Government Fees and one for Utility Fees. For a detailed explanation on how Peoria's impact fees are calculated, please see the impact fee studies found on the Impact Fee Main Page.
How do impact fees differ from taxes?
Impact fees are part of the development approval process. Requiring an impact fee to provide adequate public facilities is similar to meeting site planning and zoning requirements.
Do I have to pay an impact fee for tenant improvements, an addition to my home, or a remodel of my residence?
In general, impact fees are only charged on new construction. Any construction that does not create an additional dwelling unit or additional square footage on a non-residential property does not require the payment of impact fees.
When do I pay the impact fee?
Impact fees are paid at the time of building permit issuance.
What are Peoria's impact fees?
A schedule of Peoria's impact fees can be found on the Impact Fee Main Page.
How much will I have to pay in impact fees?
There are different impact fees for different land uses and different impact fee zones throughout Peoria, so one answer will not suffice. For an estimate of development impact fees, please see the impact fee calculator found on the Impact Fee Main Page.
Does Peoria have separate impact fee zones?
Yes, Peoria has different impact fee zones for the transportation impact fee. There are three transportation impact fee zones: South, Central, and North. For a map of the transportation impact fee zones, please see the Transportation Impact Fee Zones Map on the Impact Fee Main Page.
How do impact fees benefit existing, as well as new residents?
The adoption of impact fees reduces pressure on local residents to raise taxes and fees. In addition, if new development pays for its own capacity-enhancing infrastructure needs, any current funds that have been designated to pay for those projects can be shifted to the more immediate needs of existing residents, such as for facility maintenance and rehabilitation.
What are impact fee credits?
When a developer contributes actual off-site facility improvements or dedications that mitigate the impact of a particular project and the need for impact fee-related public facilities, the project's impact fee should be reduced by the value of the improvement or dedication. Reductions can be done through offsets or reimbursements. Offsetting means reducing the total impact fee paid at the time of payment and reimbursing means paying the developer for a portion of the impact fee after the impact fee payment has been made. Offsets and reimbursements are given to ensure that new development does not pay twice for the same facilities.
How are impact fee credits calculated?
Impact fee credits are calculated by using modeled costs, or values developed in conjunction with the impact fee study. The modeled costs are based upon the cost estimates of the projects used in the impact fee study and not based on the cost or the value of the improvements or dedications.
How do I know if my project is eligible to receive impact fee credits?
Projects that have significant transportation components are most commonly eligible for impact fee credits. Please see the Transportation IIP Map, found on the Impact Fee Main Page, to see if your project may be eligible for impact fee credits. To verify if you are eligible for impact fee credits in other impact fee categories, please contact Katie Gregory at 623-773-7364 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I apply for an impact fee credit?
Please contact katie Gregory at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
