When the cameras started rolling for the first live television debate at the local NBC affiliate, Lamont was not there - and the camera showed an empty spot.
"We begin with an empty lectern,'' moderator Gerry Brooks told the TV viewers. "We will welcome Ned Lamont, who is stuck in traffic.''
Moments later, Lamont finally showed up and was asked a question about the state budget deficits in the current year and in the future by television reporter Tom Monahan.
"Tom, I hope at some point you ask me about transportation because I'm loaded for bear on that now,'' said Lamont, a Greenwich resident who often drives long distances for campaign events.
Lamont currently holds a lead in the latest Quinnipiac University poll of 28 percent to 18 percent over former Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy, who lost to New Haven Mayor John DeStefano in the August 2006 Democratic primary. Unlike Lamont, Malloy is seeking to qualify for public financing in the campaign. So far, Malloy has raised about $100,000 in qualifying contributions on the way toward the necessary $250,000 that is needed.
If Lamont spends millions, as expected, Malloy could qualify for a maximum of $2.5 million for the primary that will be held on August 10.
Besides Lamont and Malloy, the debate included Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman, Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi, former state Rep. Juan Figueroa and Waterbury Mayor Mike Jarjura. In the latest poll, Glassman had 4 percent, followed by Marconi at 2 percent and Figueroa at 1 percent.
The candidates talked about the projected deficit of more than $500 million for the fiscal year that ends on June 30 and the projected deficit as high as $3.8 billion for the 2012 fiscal year.
"We need to begin shrinking our government to a degree,'' Marconi said. "We also need to look at revenues, and by that I mean tolls.''
Jarjura said, "We have to have a plan of action that takes us out over the next four years. ... I know we can do it.''
Malloy, the longest-serving mayor in Stamford's history, said that both Republicans and Democrats deserve blame for the financial problems at the state Capitol.
"Connecticut is in trouble,'' Malloy said. "The reality is we have not been served well by our leadership. ... We need a laser-like focus on job creation. ... The reality is we're spending too much money - more money than we have.''
When asked if the so-called millionaires' tax is wise, Malloy said, "We have to be very careful. We have to benchmark our tax structure. ... I desperately want the state to become more efficient.''
Since incomes are the highest in the state in lower Fairfield County, some local Democrats have balked about raising the state income tax on the richest residents. Malloy has been asked in the past about hiking the income tax, and he has avoided placing a specific number on how high the tax should be. The state legislature increased the tax last year for the 2009 calendar year on couples earning $1 million or more.
Glassman said that the state must first examine its spending before deciding to raise taxes.
"I'm in favor of forming a tax-modernization commission,'' Marconi said, adding that property tax relief is needed.
Since the state's fiscal problems are so huge, the candidates were asked what accomplishments they had to tackle such a gigantic task.
"I tried 23 felony cases and had 22 convictions,'' Malloy said, describing his early days as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y.
He returned to that issue again when asked about the death penalty, saying that he was the only person on the stage with a record of convictions as a prosecutor.
"The last four of those cases, including convictions, were murders,'' Malloy said. "The reality is there is no connection between the death penalty'' and deterring crime.
"I want to begin by treating everyone with respect,'' Malloy said, adding that all groups have not always been treated with respect in recent years. "I will also call on the legislature to be a partner'' by consolidating more than 200 agencies into a smaller number.
Glassman said she comes from a traditionally Republican town and has worked well with both Republicans and Democrats.
The candidates all weighed in on whether Connecticut should become the first state in the nation to adopt mandatory, paid sick days in the private sector.
"This is an easy issue for me,'' Malloy said, adding that there would be an exemption if employers gave vacation time. "I think it's time to address this issue.''
Lamont answered by saying that his Greenwich-based cable television company provides paid sick days and personal days. The bigger issue, though, is to reduce unemployment and get workers back to work, he said. Lamont added that he supports the federal paid sick leave bill that is being sponsored by U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd and Rep. Rosa DeLauro of New Haven.
Glassman said, "Paid sick leave is obviously a good thing for workers. ... There's no stability in our laws or our government.''
Marconi said, "I believe, yes, people do deserve the right to have paid sick leave. ... As a mandate, that's the word I have a problem with. We need to get rid of anything associated with a mandate. ... Mandates have to end.''
Marconi said that, for the past couple of years, the state has been enjoying a large and delicious dinner. Now, though, it's time to pay.
"We're trying to figure out who is going to pick up the tab,'' Marconi said.
"The first thing we do is open the Hawaiian room on the fifth floor of the Capitol,'' said Jarjura, a former legislator.
Of the Democratic group Friday night, Jarjura has been the most quiet of the candidates. Jarjura talked months ago of possibly running for attorney general, and he has not yet formed an exploratory committee for governor.
When asked about the budget and taxes, Jarjura said, "I think Ned said it earlier. We have not earned the right to start raising taxes.''
Jarjura said that some officials "have abused the Gold Coast'' regarding the collection of taxes.
Traditionally, the top 5 percent of taxpayers in Connecticut pay more than the bottom 95 percent combined in the state income tax.
"Most of the income tax is paid by very few people,'' Jarjura said.
Some insiders were surprised to see Jarjura on the stage Friday night in the same way that they were surprised to see an appearance in the Republican debate by Christopher Duffy Acevedo, a Branford financial analyst who is a political unknown.
Before the debate, Figueroa issued a statement that the state needs "reasonable revenue increases'' - meaning tax increases.
"Connecticut's middle class is on life support, and those struggling families can't afford to spend the next 15 months losing their jobs, homes, and health care,'' he said. "But that's how long it will be if we wait for the first budget of the next governor, which takes effect in July 2011."
Figueroa noted, "My statements on this topic may not be politically wise, but I know I have to speak up. Our citizens deserve respect; they need someone who will speak up even if it's not popular. I know the public can't wait any longer for our elected officials to avoid the tough decisions."
During the debate, Figueroa said, "The governorship is not a ceremonial position. ... We need to be better at being more strategic'' in economic development programs.
In her closing statement, Glassman said she's the daughter of a mother who grew up in foster care and she is the first woman in her family to graduate from college. As a six-term Democratic first selectman in a Republican town, she said she has "the experience and the discipline to get Connecticut moving again.''
Jarjura, the youngest of seven sons, said it was "an honor and a privilege'' to be on the stage Friday night. He took over Waterbury when it was on the brink of bankruptcy, and says "I think you've got the whole package here'' for the governor's office.
Malloy said that Connecticut is known as the land of steady habits, but "those habits have been bad habits. ... It's time to make a difference. I believe my time as a mayor and a prosecutor prepares me'' to be the next governor.
Figueroa said that his mother - a seamstress and chaplain - taught him lessons that he carries until this day.
Lamont said, "I promise to you, as your governor, that I will present a balanced budget. ... More importantly, we have to get this state growing again. ... I am going to bring out the best in the state. ... Where else can you be a Yankees fan or a Red Sox fan?''
After the closing statements, there was still time left in the one-hour program - prompting a question about the upcoming baseball season in the longtime rivalry.
Lamont, Malloy, Marconi, and Jarjura all said they are Yankees fans.
"Go Red Sox,'' said Glassman as the debate was ending.
Despite his late arrival, Lamont was never asked about transportation.

Halloween: Slutty Costume Ideas
According to Wiki, Halloween draws it's roots from the Celtic (hard C not soft like the basketball team) festival Samhain, which was a celebration of the harvest season. The ancient Celts believed that on October 31st the boundary between the living and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops.
Today, the boundary between the sexy slut and modest matron dissolves and women around the country celebrate by taking their top excuse a year to don Playboy bunny ears, fishnets, and chrome thigh-high platform boots. Cat tail, leotard, and stilettos and Hallow's Eve is on bitch! Wooooo
For those of you going for this 'traditional' Halloween look, check out my previous post on Stripper Eyes makeup. For those of you looking for a more creative slutty option, try one of these costume ideas:
-Dead slut. You still get to use the push-up bra and fake lashes, but you're a little cooler for adding your method of death. A noose around the neck is an easy one.
-Vampire. Be one of the bad vampires who wear dog collars and vinyl skirts. A lot of black eyeliner and fangs are a must.
-Attack Victim. Werewolves totally shred clothing! Take a pair of scissors to your outfit to add some skin. A slash through the bottom of the breast area is super sexy. Reverse cleavage, ooo lala. Add a rip right up the thigh. Smudge your makeup and make your hair ruffled for a good morning-after reference too.
-Lipstick lesbian. Not feeling like dressing up? Just go to the party with your BFF. If anyone asks what you are, just start making out and it should be obvious. Hold hands at least; the thought of it will be sexy enough without having to swap spit. Beware this is a dangerous costume.
-Satirical Paris Hilton type. See, the genius here, much like with Pink's video for 'Stupid Girl' is that you get to dress up like a slut while making fun of people who dress like, or do slutty things. Get a bunch of copies of 'One Night in Paris' to hand out for PR .
-Plastic Surgery Victim. The idea here is much like the previous one. Get the chicken cutlet inserts to make your tits HUGE. Wear a Juicy Couture sweatsuit unzipped for cleavage (with short shorts, not pants of course), a long blond wig, and a pair of those wax lips.
Man, I'm having fun with this one. I could go on, but instead I'd like to hear some of your ideas…. Comment your creative slut costume suggestion!

Transfer Pricing: a 100 million RMB Tax Adjustment Case to a Pharmaceutical Company
Beijing municipal office of SAT recently released an article entitled Beijing Municipal Office of SAT Finished the First Transfer Pricing Investigation to a Pharmaceutical Company(the related links: http://www.bjsat.gov.cn/bjsat/ssxc/gzdt/201301/t20130130_101662.html). According to this article, the tax authority obtained the company's overall business structures and related transaction modes through detailed interviews on all departments' function and risk aspects. Based on analysis of company's fundamental data, the tax authority eventually worked out a special tax adjustment scheme which contained a 10-year tax adjustment and managed to collect tax over 100 million RMB.
1. Profits shall match with Risks
Generally speaking, profits shall match with risks. The more profits the company gains, the more risks it bears. According to Implementing Measures for Special Tax Adjustments (Trial), enterprises whose profit levels obviously do not match with the functions performed and the risks assumed would be selected to be key targets of transfer pricing audit. Therefore, hwuason lawyers suggest the company adjust the relationship between profits and risks properly in order to avoid potential tax adjustments risks.
In addition, to enterprises who perform processing and manufacturing functions only, they shall not be responsible for any risk and loss incurred due to wrong decision-making, etc. And such companies shall maintain certain level of profit margin pursuant to Article 39 of Implementing Measures for Special Tax Adjustments (Trial).
2. Function and Risk Analysis
The function of a company may vary in related transactions. To be more precise, such functions may include research and development, design, purchase, processing, assembling, manufacturing, stock management, distribution, after sales service, advertising, transportation, warehousing, financing, financial, accounting, legal, human resources management, etc. And the related risks may include research and development risk, purchase risk, production risk, distribution risk, marketing promotion risk, management risk, financial risk, etc.
The function and risk of a company may largely involve its price in related transactions. And such aspect is also a key factor in comparable analysis and may affect the scope and choice of comparable companies. Therefore, it is highly recommended that company pay special attention on function and risk analysis in both transfer pricing investigation and contemporaneous documentation.
3. Potential Risks
(1) Special Tax Adjustment
According to Regulations on the Implementation of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China, if the business transactions between an enterprise and its related party violate the arm's length principle, the tax authority is entitled to make taxation adjustments within ten years after the taxable year when the transaction is conducted. In this case, the tax authority adjusted the company's related transaction by ten years.
(2) Back Taxes and Late Interests
According to Implementing Measures for Special Tax Adjustments (Trial), the company shall pay overdue taxes and interests after special tax adjustments and such expenses are not allowed to be deducted before enterprise income taxation. In this case, since the adjusting periods are quite long, its late interests may add up to quite a significant number. Therefore, hwuason lawyers suggest company attach great importance to the pricing strategy in related transactions and strictly follow arm's length transaction principle to avoid potential adjustment risks.
(3) Follow-up Administrations
According to Implementing Measures for Special Tax Adjustments (Trial), tax authority shall conduct follow-up administration activities in five years since the transfer pricing adjustments. Therefore, the pharmaceutical company in this case may be subject to follow-up administrations in five years accordingly.

In the past 25 years I've tried to make photographs that reflect my gratitude to life itself, photography gave me the knowledge that I should take nothing for granted; I've learned that walking smelling seeing touching etc….. Are all gift of life, and all the rest is extra. I've lived in the USA at the time (1984-1995) and my first encounter with the world of photography occurred when I borrowed a camera from a friend as a result of a trip I made to the Cascades Mountains in Washington State USA.
I'm an independent self thought Photographer and intuitively mastered the art of photography, I've study photography in the beginning from the books of one of the greatest photographers ever Mr. Ansel Adams, and later on expend my knowledge through other masters photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-bresson, Edward Steichen, and many more older and more recent photographers. Throughout the years I've built myself a framework that was based on a triangle with three principles: knowledge, senses and vision, all of which acted as a beacon that guided me forward. There is a saying that I say that: the difference between a photographer and other people is that a photographer makes a photo and the others take a photo.
With the years I've become professional commercial photographer. I've been ask to photograph a variety of issues in the commercial field.
One of my favorite things in my free time was to take my gear and explore the city or the landscapes around.
I just love to make images with my cameras. There is almost no subject that I would not find something to make an image from it, and of course I love to travel.
I've decided to implement in this site images from throughout my career including images that was scanned from film, and images that I was experimenting such as developing of cross processing slide films.
I had two solo gallery shows:
1. At the synchronicity place in the Soho in Manhattan new-York
2. At the Tirosh gallery in old Jafa Israel.

The end is near as everyone heads toward Holsom for a final, fateful confrontation. Lucy's worst fears may be realized, Rover makes an unexpected announcement, and Jorge faces betrayal most foul.
Rover and company hitch a ride aboard a train, hoping to reach Holsom before Horatio's other robots tear the town to pieces. Meanwhile, Jordan, Noah, Shelby, Tabby and Lucy try to avoid getting smashed by flying...
It's a beautiful day for a parade, and the little town of Holsom is celebrating the first annual JD Raye Festival even as JD's agents are digging up Horatio's "evil" robots. Plus, Jake finally tells the whole...
Mouse's parents find out their son has been missing for days and Lucy has a fateful confrontation with Jake. Meanwhile the chase is on when Ruben and Ralph finally close in on Rover, Mouse, Jorge, and Wendy....
Has Wendy run away from home, too? Can Jordan and Tabitha actually become friends in spite of their differences? Will the sheriff and Otto Farless join forces? Find the answers to these questions and more.
Lucy deals with evil-robot nightmares, while Jordan stands up for Tabitha during an ugly game of dodgeball. Meanwhile, JD looks for more robots, and Mouse and Jorge get an unexpected surprise.
The sheriff of Holsom spends a late night reviewing all the evidence: Does he believe a giant robot ran off with Mouse and Jorge? Plus, we get a revealing glimpse at Horatio's journal and Lucy's diary.
As Ralph and Ruben close in on their prey, Mouse and Jorge discover something in the deep woods that might be scarier than anything they've faced before. Find out if even Rover can be frightened.
While the town searches above ground, 50 feet below Lucy runs for her life from two decidedly unfriendly robots. Meanwhile, Rover teaches Mouse and Jorge about Moses and the burning bush.
What's worse than being alone, lost in a huge cave? Or what's worse than being traced down by Constance Vile? Everyone's hunting for the answers, but not one's going to like what they find.
Can even sliver-tongued JD explain his way out of this one? Just how far can Rover actually fly? And what happened to Lucy when the ceiling collapsed?
The old saying is: "Be careful what you wish for-it might come true." JD Raye understands the truth to those words when he finally stands face-to-face with Rover.
Mouse gets a most unexpected and unwelcome visit from JD Raye! But that's not nearly as shocking as the strange visitor who shows up at the local church.
Otto remembers the first time he encountered Rover, and JD promises to rebuild the town of Holsom. Meanwhile, Noah gets his first tour of Horatio's underground compound, where Mouse has to answer for his recent...

Carpenter Ants
The amazing world of insects includes a number of kinds that we call "social" insects, in which a colony exists where the members of the colony work together for the common good. We see this with termites, honeybees, yellowjackets, and with all species of ants. There may be a single queen or in some species dozens of queen ants, which produce the eggs to build the size of the colony. Worker ants then create the place for the colony, gather food materials, and take care of the developing ant larvae as they grow. This life style obviously is successful, for ants are known as the dominant insects in many places where they live.
Throughout the U.S. and North America, including the Hawaiian Islands, there is a group of ants we call Carpenter Ants, and the workers in this group generally are some of the largest ants you will encounter around your home. Their colonies will not approach the huge numbers of workers that the fire ants or Argentine ants do, but they make up for in size what they lack in numbers. They are not equipped with stingers, and thus cannot inflict the kind of pain a fire ant or harvester ant may, but they are capable of giving a little "nip" to your finger if they feel compelled to do so. However, biting is not the problem with them, and it is their activity of digging into the wood our home is made from that causes a concern.
A quick lesson on identification may help you to distinguish a carpenter ant when you see one, and the first thing to look for is the number of "nodes" or segments on that thin waist that separates their abdomen and their thorax. On many ant species there will be two segments, and on the rest there is only one, and carpenter ants fit into this group of "single node" ants which are not equipped with a stinger. This may help you distinguish them from other large ants you see, such as harvester or pavement ants. The color of carpenter ants will vary from species to species. Most kinds are black, but some may be a light brown or tan color, others more reddish, or perhaps a combination of red and black body sections. A very distinctive feature is the profile of the thorax, which on carpenter ants is a smooth, rounded profile along the top of the thorax, without any spines or dips in that profile.
Carpenter ants are aptly named. They prefer to create their colonies inside wood, and even when they nest in the soil outdoors they look for old tree root systems or buried lumber. They do not eat wood, but only chew off pieces of it to expand a cavity, and then take those pieces of wood to the outside and toss them. The pieces of wood are very small, and as that pile of debris builds it looks like sawdust, and it is referred to as "frass". You may see this frass on the inside of your home if these ants are working there, perhaps in the rafters above your ceiling or some other vertical pieces of wood. As they enlarge the cavities they will live in and create channels through the wood for their movement, they need to keep things clean, and periodically will chew a hole to the outside world and shove all that frass out of the hole, from which it sifts down onto kitchen counters, window sills, or your floor. In fact, any miscellaneous junk in the colony will be ejected, and you often find other interesting things within that frass.
What carpenter ants DO eat is sweet, sugary materials and other insects. From these two choices they then get the carbohydrates and proteins to meet their nutritional needs, often feeding the insect parts to their larvae, which subsist more on protein than the adult ants do. The "sugar" resource for ants is often the sticky drippings that come from insects that feed on your plants, such as aphids or scale insects. As these plant parasites suck the fluids from the plant they exude a lot of excess material called "honeydew", and this sugar-rich goo is a favorite of ants. The protein might also come from some alternate sources, and within your home ants may forage around the stove or sink, looking for grease that may have spilled. Since not every part of an insect is edible there will be legs, antennae, and wing covers left over after the carpenter ants have taken the juicy parts, and these extraneous pieces of their prey become part of the mix of the frass, another clue that you have carpenter ants working in your home. The frass may have lots of little white things in it that look like pieces of Styrofoam, and these may be the old silk cocoons from the pupa stage of the ants, no longer needed once the ant emerges as a new adult insect, and discarded along with any other garbage in the galleries.
Carpenter ants, for the most part, are nocturnal insects, and do most of their work outside their colony at night. If you need to follow the ants back to their nest in the soil you may need to spend some time with a flashlight after the sun goes down. They move along well established trails, and often choose other kinds of lines that we provide for them, such as garden hoses laying on the ground, the edges of walls or boards, and within the walls of the home along electric wires and pipes that run through the wall voids. One easy pathway for them to enter your home is the branches of trees and shrubs that touch the walls or roof outside. A major part of ant control is exclusion, and by trimming plants away from the home you can take away this access, not only for ants, but for any other insects and for rodents.
Most often a carpenter ant nest will begin in the soil. It is started by a solitary queen ant which has recently mated. Periodically, perhaps most often in the late spring, you will see ants with wings flying around your yard, coming to porch lights, or landing on the surface of your pool or backyard pond. These are the fertile males and females which came from a nearby colony of ants, but whose job is to mate and to initiate new colonies. The role of the male is a short and sad one, for immediately after mating with a female he will die. The female then sheds her wings, no longer needing them for any more flights in her lifetime, and she burrows into the soil or some soft wood to create a small chamber for herself and the brood to come. Starting slowly but working diligently she can build the size of her colony to as many as 10,000 worker ants in a few years, and if the colony splits and creates satellite colonies nearby the size could be 2 or 3 times that many ants, all working non-stop in the warm months to expand and find food for the colony members, all of whom are female ants.
At some point in time the need exists for drier conditions, and this is when workers may move a segment of the larvae and pupae out of the primary colony in the soil, and discover your home as a suitable alternative. They wander in through narrow gaps and holes they discover around the outside of the home, and look for a protected cavity in which to set up a new home. They often discover voids already in existence, such as hollow doors, wall voids, spaces between insulation and flooring in the crawl space. Or, they may go to the trouble to make their own cavities, excavating the wood using their strong jaws to bite off tiny pieces of wood until a chamber is formed. If they are working in wood in the ceiling this may be when you see that sawdust settling onto surfaces. If they are within the 2 x 4 studs in the walls their work may go undetected, with all the sawdust piling up at the bottom of the void. Working for years like this a carpenter ant colony can cause serious damage to the wood, threatening the integrity of the wall itself.Controlling these ants can be hard work, and often must include the use of insecticides to eliminate the colonies themselves. The use of chemical tools is best left in the hands of a trained, licensed professional, and you can use the "Find A Local Pest Management Company" feature on BugInfo to contact one in your area. However, there are many steps you can take to minimize carpenter ant activity on your property, and make it as difficult as possible for them to find their way into your home. Ants belong in a healthy environment, so eradicating all ants is not the goal – keeping them out of the house is the priority. Here are some thoughts you might put to use.
- Eliminate all unwanted wood to reduce nesting sites in the yard, including old logs, stumps, or rotting landscape timbers
- When removing trees also remove the roots to eliminate nest sites
- Store firewood and other lumber as far away from the home as possible and elevated off the soil
- Do not bring firewood into the home until immediately prior to its use
- Keep wood in a dry condition, and eliminate any excessive moisture conditions indoors. The ants often are drawn to damp wood as it is easier to excavate.
- Repair any earth-to-wood contacts, where wood of the structure directly contacts the soil, permitting ants to easily enter the wood.
- Trim all tree and shrubbery branches so that they do not touch the structure. Also trim them so they do not contact wires that run to the home, also giving the ants a pathway.
- If wires leading to the home are serving as an ant pathway, consider coating these with a sticky substance to repel the ants, and seal any holes at the wire-to-house junction.
- Keep garden trees and plants free of aphids and other honeydew producing insects to minimize food opportunities for carpenter ants.
- Pick up fallen fruits and vegetables to eliminate ant food resources
- Inspect the exterior of your home and use caulking or other building materials to permanently seal as many holes and gaps as possible, to minimize the opportunity for ants to enter. This commonly is around windows and door frames and beneath siding.
Carpenter ants are one of the recyclers in Nature. Their role, along with predation of other insects, is to reduce dead wood to sawdust, which then can be returned to the soil as nutrition for new growing plants. Without the work of carpenter ants, termites, beetles, and other insects that decompose dead trees we would have a lot of dead trees cluttering the forest floor. Our goal, however, is to keep these insects from attempting to recycle the dead trees that our homes are made from for as long as possible.

The Crazy Ant
The crazy ant, Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille), occurs in large numbers in homes or out-of-doors. Ants of this species often forage long distances away from their nests, so nests are often difficult to control.
Its common name arises from its characteristic erratic and rapid movement, and habit of not following trails as often as other ants. However, while the term 'crazy ant' is officially identified with this species, there are other closely related ant species that are also called "crazy ants."
The crazy ant is extremely easy to identify on sight by observing its rapid and erratic movements. Confirmation may be made with the aid of a hand lens through which the extremely long antennal scape, long legs, and erect setae are very apparent. The slender-bodied, long-legged worker is capable of extremely rapid movement.
Nest Sites
The crazy ant is highly adaptable, living in both very dry and rather moist habitats. The crazy ant often nests some distance away from its foraging area. It nests in such places as trash, refuse, cavities in plants and trees, rotten wood, in soil under objects and also have been found under debris left standing in buildings for long periods of time. These ants can nest in a variety of locations from dry to moist environments. A crazy ant nest site can be found by looking for workers carrying food back to the nest.

The Ghost Ant
The ghost ant, Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius), was considered a nuisance ant that was occasionally important as a house pest within Florida as late as 1988.
Ghost ant workers are extremely small, 1.3 to 1.5 mm long and monomorphic (one-sized). They have 12-segmented antennae with the segments gradually thickening towards the tip. Antennal scapes surpass the occipital border. Head and thorax are a deep dark brown with gaster and legs opaque or milky white (Creighton 1950). The thorax is spineless
The gaster (swollen part of abdomen) has a slit-like anal opening which is hairless. (Smith and Whitman 1992). The abdominal pedicel (stalk-like structure immediately anterior to the gaster) consists of one segment which is usually hidden from view dorsally by the gaster (Creighton 1950). Stingers are absent.
The small size, combined with the pale color, make ghost ant workers hard to see (Smith and Whitman 1992).

The Pharaoh Ant
IntroductionThe ant, Monomorium pharaonis (Linnaeus), is commonly known as the Pharaoh ant. The name possibly arises from the mistaken tradition that it was one of the plagues of ancient Egypt (Peacock et al. 1950). This ant is distributed worldwide, is one of the more common household ants, and carries the dubious distinction of being the most difficult household ant to control.
Biology and Nesting Habits
The Pharaoh ant colony consists of queens, males, workers, and immature stages (eggs, larvae, pre- pupae, and pupae). Nesting occurs in inaccessible warm (80 to 86°F), humid (80%) areas near sources of food and/or water, such as in wall voids. The size of the colony tends to be large but can vary from a few dozen to several thousand or even several hundred thousand individuals. Approximately 38 days are required for development of workers from egg to adult. Mating takes place in the nest, and no swarms are known to occur. Males and queens usually take 42 days to develop from egg to adult. The males are the same size as the workers (2 mm), are black in color and have straight, not elbowed, antennae. Males are not often found in the colony. The queens are about 4 mm long and are slightly darker than the workers (Smith and Whitman 1992). Queens can produce 400 or more eggs in batches of 10 to 12 (Peacock et al. 1950). Queens can live four to 12 months, while males die within three to five weeks after mating (Smith and Whitman 1992).
Where They Can Be Found
This ant infests almost all areas of a building where food is available and infests many areas where food is not commonly found. Pharaoh ants have a wide preference in the types of food consumed. In infested areas, if sweet, fatty, or oily foods are left uncovered for only a short period of time, one can likely find a trail of Pharaoh ants to the food. As a consequence, they cause much food to be discarded due to contamination. Owners have been known to consider selling their homes because of the ravages of this pest (Smith 1965).
Survey and Detection
Workers of the Pharaoh ant can often be observed on their feeding trails, often using wiring or hot water pipes to travel through walls and between floors. Once a worker has located a food source, it lays a chemical trail from the food to the nest (Haack and Granovsky 1990). These ants are attracted to sweet and fatty foods, which may be used to determine their presence. Pharaoh ants will nest in the oddest places, such as between sheets of stationary, layers of bed linen and clothes, in appliances, or even piles of trash (Ebeling 1978).

The E-Bike Unchained: Compact Folding 'Footloose' Bicycle has a Battery Boosted by Pedal Power
Posted By Beth Buczynski On October 11, 2012 @ 5:18 pm In Bicycles,carousel showcase,Green Transportation,Innovation | 1 Comment
Footloose [1], a new e-bike designed by Mando, offers a new way to travel light without breaking a sweat. Lighter and cheaper than four-wheeled e-vehicles, electric bikes [2] are a great way to extend your range without a lot of extra time and effort. If power starts to run low while you're en route, you've got the pedals to fall back on. But when your e-bike is fitted with a heavy chain and motor, pedaling isn't exactly easy or fun. The Footloose eliminates the familiar chain and gears but keeps the pedals for a surprisingly compact ride that can take you almost anywhere.
Working in collaboration with British designer Mark Sanders [3] and Dutch e-bike expert Han Goes [4], Korean auto suppliers Mando Corp [5]and Meister Inc [6]. revamped the e-bike design to reduce weight and make it more compact for urban commuters. The Footloose still has pedals, but instead of employing a chain to turn the wheel, the pedaling motion simply adds more power to the battery. When the rider engages the pedals, it sends power to an alternator which generates electricity to keep the motor running. And that's not even the most amazing part! Without the bulk of chain and gears, the Footloose can be folded up into an incredibly small package–perfect for those who have to ride the bus or subway [7], but don't want to walk or drive the last mile.
Mando and its collaborators say the Footloose will be able to travel around 20 miles on a single charge, and that when energy is low, the uniqe pedal generation system will power the bike indefinitely. The company plans to release the e-bike to European markets next year, but they're keeping the price a secret for now.

With Swedish meatballs already marked down from $3.29 to $2.99, can lower furniture prices for Colorado consumers be far behind?
That's one of the enticing questions arising from the scheduled opening Wednesday of Swedish furnishings behemoth Ikea.
Shoppers are expected to arrive in droves this week at Ikea's new Centennial store to take advantage of the chain's budget-priced product lines — as well as noshing on cafeteria food that includes the newly marked-down meatballs and other Swedish specialties.
Some analysts say the Ikea phenomenon could benefit consumers by forcing other merchants to sharpen their pricing pencils and perhaps operate on smaller profit margins.
"Anybody who could consider their merchandise similar to Ikea's, they're surely going to try to figure out a way to out-Ikea Ikea," said Mary Frye, president of the Dallas-based Home Furnishings Independents Association, a trade group for independent furniture dealers.
But easier said than done. The chain's cult following among consumers stems from a unique combination of value pricing, contemporary and whimsical designs, and sheer immensity — approximately 10,000 different products spread over 415,000 square feet, making it among the largest stores in Colorado.
Other Ikea openings
When Ikea opened in suburban Salt Lake City in 2007, furniture retailers responded with sales and ad campaigns that attempted to show their competitive advantages in pricing, service and keeping dollars in the local community, said Kate Bradshaw, vice president of the Utah Retail Merchants Association.
"We haven't lost any retailers from the competition brought by Ikea," she said.
Analysts said the prospect that the Centennial Ikea will draw new shoppers from Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas may help offset what otherwise would be the chain's dilutive effect on sales at existing Colorado furniture stores.
"It's almost like Ikea creates a bigger pie in furniture sales," said Jon Schallert, president of consulting firm The Schallert Group Inc. "I don't see it impacting a lot of traditional furniture stores. Consumers who don't want their homes to look like dorm rooms are going to continue with their regular stores."
Shopping last week at the Cost Plus World Market near Ikea, Wendy Catto of Parker said she is curious to find out how Ikea's prices stack up against other dealers in metro Denver.
"I'm not exactly sure how their prices compare with, say, American Furniture Warehouse," she said. "We need a new sofa, and I'll probably look at Ikea, but I think I might get a better deal at American Furniture."
Awaiting competition
Denver-area merchants largely are putting up a nonchalant front by saying Ikea won't change the way they operate or interact with customers.
Jake Jabs, the godfather of Colorado furniture dealers and owner of American Furniture Warehouse, freely admits he's not a fan of Ikea.
In an open letter to the media, Jabs recently attacked Ikea for its corporate structure that gives it tax advantages in the U.S. because Ikea's parent company is a Netherlands-based, tax-exempt foundation.
"I pay millions of dollars in federal income taxes every year," Jabs wrote. "Why do we allow a foreign company to sell furniture in Colorado, that sells almost all foreign-made products, and not pay tax in the U.S.?"
Ikea has responded that it complies with all laws regarding payment of sales, property and income taxes.
Aside from his concern over Ikea's alleged tax advantages, Jabs said he doesn't fear any competitive threat because he sees little overlap between his company's and Ikea's product lines.
Most Ikea furniture products are sold in flat-pack boxes to be taken home and assembled by customers. Jabs said ready-to-assemble furniture represents only about 5 percent of his sales.
"In that 5 percent, we'll kick their butt," Jabs said.
As an example, Jabs said American Furniture Warehouse offers a contemporary-design sofa bed for $159. He said a similar product from Ikea sells for $299.
Yet Jabs acknowledges that he has made marketing adjustments in response to Ikea's opening.
American Furniture Warehouse has increased its Colorado advertising budget by 5 percent in recent weeks. Newspaper advertising inserts are showing more ready-to-assemble products than they normally would.
Sharing the drawing power
Some merchants embrace the arrival of Ikea. Furniture stores close to Ikea's site at Interstate 25 and County Line Road say they are likely to benefit from Ikea's drawing power.
WOW furniture, located just a few yards south of Ikea, last week converted to a 7-day-a-week schedule in order to capitalize on the estimated 100,000 customers who will visit Ikea this week, starting at the 9 a.m. Wednesday opening.
Previously WOW was open only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
"Having Ikea right there is creating a furniture destination that's going to benefit everyone," said WOW vice president Bert Jackson. "We're doing everything we can to capitalize on the impact of Ikea opening and the traffic they will generate. We think there will be a tremendous amount of cross-traffic."
WOW recently increased its workforce by 30 percent, to 90 employees, to handle the anticipated increase in customer volume.
Yet Jackson said there is virtually no overlap in the products sold by WOW and Ikea, with WOW selling higher-priced assembled items while Ikea caters to what he described as an "entry-level, urban" clientele.
"It's like comparing Nordstrom Rack to Target," he said.
Several analysts mentioned Target as being the most closely matched competitor to Ikea in product lines and merchandising.
Target officials would not comment on how they react competitively to Ikea.
Even though the two retailers have been in common U.S. markets since 1985, a Target spokeswoman said the chain is "not quite at the point where we have relevant trend information or comment to provide."
Other Colorado furniture retailers interviewed all said their merchandise is different from Ikea's. As a result, they said, they are not unduly worried about Ikea's competitive threat.
"We don't typically sell to first-time buyers. We have a customer base that wants style and quality," said Jeff Morrill, owner of Colorado Casual Furniture in Centennial, about 3 miles west of Ikea.
He said there could be a short-term negative impact on furniture sales during Ikea's first few weeks of operation.
"It will attract people's attention, and maybe they'll delay their purchases just to see what Ikea has," Morrill said.
"But then maybe they'll figure out that it's not for them, and they'll get back to the rest of the market."

5-18-04 - New business is about to blossom in downtown Sherman and residents could soon be eating it up. A developer is turning an old wholesale hardware building and lot into a farmers market.
Located near Travis and Wall Street, the market will open in June and offer fresh fruits and vegetables from area farmers. Developer Victor Ratliff hopes to eventually add live entertainment and arts and crafts to the building.
So far, half a dozen local farmers have signed up for the market and Ratliff expects that number to grow once they open. The market will be open every weekend this summer.

Little League World Series slips from Wolverines' grasp
August 17, 2009
STUTTGART, Germany -- If only the Stuttgart Wolverines could turn back time. No doubt they would rewind to July 19, when the junior Little League team was just one victory away from earning a spot in the 2009 Junior League Baseball World Series to be held this month.
After soundly defeating Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and Lithuania, the 13- and 14-year-old undefeated Wolverines faced Italy for the championship game at the European Junior League Baseball regional tournament in Kutno, Poland.
"We were confident," said center fielder C.J. Kellogg, now 15. "We were pretty sure we could win. We had one bad inning and that threw us off."
In that "bad inning," the Italian team scored four unearned runs. "I figured we'd get it back. That's what usually happens. But we never did," Kellogg said.
The Wolverines lost the game to the Italians 6-5, and with it, the chance to play in the World Series.
"We were the best team," said Kelly Measells, an assistance coach for the team. "We lost it - [the Italian team] didn't win it."
Despite the loss, the tournament was a great experience. "The kids had a ball," Measells said. "You get to meet all the international players from countries such as Belarus, Poland and Lithuania." After the games, the players put aside their bats and gloves for friendly sessions of basketball and pingpong, he added.
And while the defeat was a heartbreaker for all concerned, just getting to the finals was no small task.
"We had less than three weeks to mesh together as a team," said head coach Larry Tannenbaum.
The team's success was a result of dedication and many hours of practice. "We're out there two to three hours every day," he said. In three weeks, the players had only four days off.
"It's a lot of work," Tannenbaum said. "The kids have to buy into it. They understood we had the talent to go to the World Series - we just had to make the right decisions about where to play them and who would pitch."
He said the Wolverines played their hearts out and turned in several stellar performances.
Kellogg and right fielder Justin Rich were phenomenal at defense, according to Tannenbaum. "There wasn't a ball that hit the ground. They caught everything," he said.
The pitching staff was at the top of their game, allowing only 19 runs in the regional tourney.
"Billy Ellis pitched the entire game against Lithuania, which we won 12-0," Tannenbaum said. Dylan Measells and James Taylor also teamed up to pitch a perfect game against Germany.
On the offensive side, the Wolverines scored 74 runs in the six regional games. Measells, Taylor and Ryan Tannenbaum each batted over .700.
Now that the season is over, players such as Kellogg will turn their attention to football and basketball.
But baseball is still on Kellogg's mind. He intends to play on the Stuttgart Little League team for 15- and 16-year-olds next year.
"I hope we go as far as we did this year, and get ever further," he said.

Tuesday Jan. 6,2009
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Vick is asking a bankruptcy judge to allow him to sell his eight-bedroom home in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth at auction.
The house has been on the market for more than a year and is listed at $4.1 million. The imprisoned former NFL star disclosed the auction plans Tuesday in a new financial disclosure statement filed in his bankruptcy case in Newport News.
According to the statement, real estate agents have shown the house more than 30 times to potential buyers and have aggressively marketed the property. Vick's lawyers now are preparing a motion seeking permission to sell the house to the highest bidder at an auction on or around February 16.
Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for a federal dogfighting conspiracy.

Lucene Fields:New
In 4.0 livedocs are passed down to the enums, thus deleted docs are not so special.
So I think checkindex should not pass the livedocs down to the enums when checking,
it should pass livedocs=null and check all the postings. It already does this separately to
collect stats i think to compare against the term/collection statistics? But we should
just clean this up and only use one enum.
For example
LUCENE-3876 is a case where we were actually making a corrumpt index,
(a position was negative) but because the document in question was deleted, CheckIndex
didn't detect this.
This could have caused problems if someone just passed null for livedocs (maybe they
are doing something where its not so important to take deletions into account)

Actually if we are willing to add SegmentReader.rawTermPositions() to match SegmentReader.rawTermDocs()
we could do this in 3.x too...
patch for trunk.
updated patch with separate liveDocs validation for each segment... checking the number of set bits etc.
I'm still nervous about the patch losing coverage for postings.
The problem with the previous second-pass was we only did minimal checks with a null liveDocs.
I think ideally we factor these checks into separate methods that take liveDocs, and return stats.
if there are deletions we do the full check with the real liveDocs too, and assert stats <= rawStats
It will be heavy but i think we can do it from this patch.
ok this was pretty easy as a start. I didnt add any extra assertions just moved the logic into checkFields(Fields).
we should be able to refactor testVectors to use this too, just like norms and docValues both share the same logic.
I will mark this issue resolved now.
Patch, cutting over testTermVectors to checkFields, making it also check deleted docs.
This found a bug! In Lucene40 codec's term vectors seekCeil... fixed.
Thanks for the help! I like it much better with the shared method/testing also deleted docs.
Heavy bug fixing! That separation of liveDocs in CheckIndex is a very good idea.
I hope you are not annoyed by my vLong nitpicking...
Not annoyed only confused (I think i dont totally understand your comment).
So i was just waiting for your patch, then I would know for sure
what you meant.

There is an international challenge to meet the developmental needs of disadvantaged children, especially during the summer months of school vacation, when education and child care are scarce. The structure and opportunities provided through education and child care serve to buffer children against the multiple stressors related to poverty. As a population particularly vulnerable to poverty, disadvantaged children face long-term consequences when their developmental needs are not met. In the area of Velikiy Novgorod, Russia, this problem is being addressed through Camp Dzerginez, a cost-free summer camp for disadvantaged children.

Star Wars Battlefront 2
Left for pigs
Hiddendoor\'s \"0.2\" update to his earlier [url=http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/file/left_for_pigs;120447]Left for Pigs[/url] map is, more or less, the same thing. The author has made a

few under-the-hood changes to polish the map, including adding a sky, which is always nice. The map itself is still a little ho-hum - it\'s a fairly nondescript island with trees that contrast wildly with the setting and terrain that looks like crumpled paper (the smooth tool - the smooth tool!). Some suggestions for the author moving forward - make sure to decide on a theme and then make everything match that theme, so you don\'t end up with disparate pieces (like the redwood trees on a tiny sandy island). Make sure that, if you\'re adding vehicles, the size of the map supports them (in this case, the flyers on a map that has really low LOD distance). And finally, make sure that you\'re really only submitting complete releases to the public - whether it\'s a misunderstanding of using versioning numbers or whether it\'s simply a too-early release, you shouldn\'t be releasing early alpha versions (really, anything but completed versions - i.e. only 1.0 and beyond) to the public. -Mav

Affordable, dependable products for every need and budget
See how affordable our dependable coverage can be for you.
Determine your life insurance needs in 5 easy steps.
Whole life insurance for children is low-cost life insurance that provides your children or grandchildren with their own life insurance policy as well as benefits above and beyond what your own life insurance policy offers them.
As with our whole life insurance policy, whole life insurance for children is financial protection that covers your children for their entire lives. The policy builds cash value that, in most cases, grows tax-free. Getting coverage for your children now means that you can guarantee their future insurability.
Some of the benefits of owning a whole life insurance policy for your child include:
How long does the coverage last?
What coverage amounts are available?
15 days to age 14 years.
SBLI offers a variety of beneficial riders; however, not all SBLI riders are available with whole life for children policies. Riders may have state and/or age limitations. Please contact an SBLI sales professional to discuss your best options.
Is this product convertible?
What are my options for paying my premium?
You will have a 30-day window to refuse and return a newly issued whole life policy. The number of days begins upon the policy owner's receipt of the policy. All premiums paid are returned under the rescission right.
In what states is this product available?
Children under 15 are not required to take a paramedic exam. A parent should answer the medical part of the questionnaire on behalf of the child.
Children age 15 and older will be scheduled for a simple paramedic exam – at no cost to you – in the convenience of your home.

LOS ANGELES — PrimalScream Music & Sound (www.primalscreammusic.com), which creates original music and sound for many different forms of media, recently curated the soundtrack for the inspirational documentary
The Power of Two. The film details the bond between twin sisters Anabel Stenzel and Isabel Stenzel Byrnes, and their battle with the fatal genetic disease Cystic Fibrosis. The twins have become global advocates for organ donation, and the film offers insight into the chronic illness they face.
Marc Smolowitz directed the project, which is screening at events throughout the country this month. The screenings will include live performances by artists involved in the PrimalScream-produced soundtrack.
Creative director Nicole Dionne chose the songs for the film and also selected the documentary's two composers, Tim Easton and Kyle Moorman. The bands and singer-songwriters represented in the film including Juliette Commagere, Tim Easton, Sara Melson, Gus Black, Bangkok Starters, Gram Rabbit, Pedestrian, Mindy Gledhill, Haroula Rose and Remy Zero.
"Given the Stenzel twins' love of music, I knew that score and soundtrack were going to be essential parts of how I would tell their inspirational story," notes Smolowitz.
"Everyone involved in The Power of Two shares a passion and commitment to the story and cause," adds Dionne. "The artists were incredibly moved by the film and the new dimension created by their original song's presentation within this compelling story. We look forward to applying our approach and philosophy to other film and episodic projects."
